The Amazons of DC Comics are a fictional matriarchy society of superhumans, based on the Amazons of Greek mythology. While the Amazons were originally created to protect "man's world," they ultimately abandoned it.[1] There have been several major incarnations of these Amazons, including William Moulton Marston's original depictions, Robert Kanigher's revised depiction (highlighted by the change of Queen Hippolyta's hair from black to blonde), George Pérez's reworking, following the Crisis, and changes subsequent to Infinite Crisis, and The New 52. What these groups have in common is that they are the people from which came DC Comics' superheroine, Wonder Woman.

The Amazons of Paradise Island were first created by William Moulton Marston as allegories to his love leaders and as part of the origin story of his creation, Wonder Woman. These Amazons were a race of immortal super-women that lived on the magical Paradise Island. Favored by Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, the Amazons thrived in peace for centuries, but remained aloof from the world of Man. The youngest and most powerful of the Amazons, Princess Diana, left her protective nation of sisterhood, renouncing her immortality to fight the forces of evil in Man's World as Wonder Woman.

In the days of Ancient Greece, many centuries ago, the Amazons were the foremost nation in the world. In Amazonia, women ruled and all was well. Then one day, Hercules, the strongest man in the world, stung by the taunts that he could not conquer the Amazon women, selected his strongest and fiercest warriors and landed on the Amazons' shores.
The Amazons' queen, Hippolyte, met Hercules to a personal combat, because she knew that with her magic girdle, given to her by Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, she could not lose.
Hippolyte defeated Hercules, but Hercules, with deceit and trickery, managed to secure Hippolyte's magic girdle—and soon the Amazons were taken into slavery. Aphrodite, angry at Hippolyte for having succumbed to the wiles of men, would do nothing to help them.
Finally, the Amazons were no longer able to bear their submission to men, and Hippolyte appealed to the Goddess Aphrodite again. This time not in vain, for she relented, and with her help, Hippolyte secured the magic girdle from Hercules.
With the magic girdle in Hippolyte's possession, it did not take long for the Amazons to overcome their masters—and taking from them their entire fleet, they set sail for another shore, for it was Aphrodite's condition that they leave the world of man and establish a new world of their own. Aphrodite also decreed that they must always wear the heavy bracelets fashioned by their captors, as a reminder that they must always keep aloof from men.
Paradise Island[edit]
And so, after sailing the seas many days and many nights, the Amazons found Paradise Island and settled there to build a new world. With its fertile soil, its marvelous vegetation, and varied natural resources, there was no want, no illness, no hatreds, and no wars. And as long as the Amazons remained on Paradise Island and Hippolyte retained the magic girdle, they retained the power of eternal life—so long as they did not permit themselves to again be beguiled by men.
The Magic Sphere[edit]
Just after the Amazons conquered the Herculeans and set sail for their island, they were given the Magic Sphere by Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. Through this device, Hippolyte was able to view events in Man's World from the present and past—and sometimes even forecast the future. With the visions of the future seen from the Magic Sphere, the Amazons were able to far surpass the inventions of man-made civilization. Not only were the Amazons stronger and wiser, but their weapons were more advanced, and their flying machines were faster.
In the mid-1980s a storyline took place called Crisis on Infinite Earths in which all comics in the DC Universe ceased to exist and restarted with all new origins. When this happened it was explained that the Amazons were created by the goddess Artemis from the souls of women who had died at the hands of men, and were given new and stronger bodies, made from clay transformed into flesh and blood. These Amazons, like the Pre-Crisis versions, escaped Heracles (the Greek name for Hercules) and his men to an isolated and magically protected island, this one called Themyscira after the lost capital city of the Amazons' former homeland. In this new land, they were granted eternal youth and beauty. Some Amazons chose to remain behind, however, and, lacking immortality, formed the hidden nation of Bana-Mighdall.[2] Stories featuring the Amazons appeared in Bonus Book inserts in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #18 (July 1988)[3] and #26 (January 1989).[4]
In 1998, at the close of Wonder Woman: Secret Files And Origins #2, screenwriter Eric Luke introduced the 'Code of the Amazons', as follows:
We are a nation of women, dedicated to our sisters, to our gods, and to the peace that is humankind's right. Granted life by Gaea, the goddesses, and the souls of women past, we have been gifted with the mission to unite the people of our world with love and compassion. We are the Amazons, and we have come to save mankind.
Infinite Crisis[edit]
Due to the perceived failure of Wonder Woman's mission in man's world, Themyscira and the Amazons are removed from the earth realm by the Athenian Gods.
Amazons Attack[edit]
The returned Amazons, led by a resurrected Hippolyta, invade Washington D.C. In the end they are stripped of their memories and scattered throughout the earth in mortal identities.
In the reality-changing Flashpoint event, the Amazons are at war with the Atlanteans in Western Europe, after Hippolyta was killed by an Amazon disguised as an Atlantean during a wedding between Diana and Aquaman, causing Diana to become the Queen. They have taken over Britain, killing 12 million in the process. Many female superbeings are shown to be in league with them. It is later revealed the Ocean Master and Diana's aunt were behind this[5]
The New 52[edit]
Following the revamp of the DC Universe's history at the end of Flashpoint, the history of the Amazons was again revised. Themyscira is now called Paradise Island as it was before the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Amazons are said to have infrequently invaded ships coming near their island and forced themselves on the sailors, before killing them. After nine months, the birth of the resulting female children was highly celebrated and they were inducted into the ranks of the Amazons while the male children were rejected. In order to save the male children from being drowned to death by the Amazons, Hephaestus traded weapons to the Amazons in exchange for them.[6][7][8] Their Queen Hippolyta has blond hair and is the biological mother of Diana, whose biological father is Zeus. Hippolyta invented the "molding Diana from clay" story in order to protect her from the wrath of Zeus's wife Hera.
Purple Ray[edit]
The Purple Ray is a quasi-mystical healing device used by the Amazons. In the Pre-Crisis continuity, it was invented by Diana herself. It has also been used for other purposes, such as empowering Wonder Girl, and as a weapon.

SALEM - Mr. and Mrs. J. Robert Sebo, in association with the Salem Storybook Museum, will present "A Sparkling December," from 7 to 10 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Kent State University Salem campus, 2491 state Route 45. Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served. Cost is $15 per person. Reservations are needed since no tickets will be sold at the door.
This is the museum's second annual art auction and jazz festival and will include a performance by The Matt Skitzki Trio.
Original artwork from area artists with artwork from Salem City and St. Paul School students will be presented. Robert Viencek is the chairman for the event. Janis Yereb is the co-chair.
"The first jazz festival and art auction was well received. We decided, therefore, to do it again," said Viencek. "We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. J. Robert Sebo for providing the music for the event. The couple has been a great supporter and patron of the museum over the years."
"I have known Matt Skitzki for quite some time," said Bob Sebo. "He is an amazing pianist. I think everyone who comes to the jazz festival will be in for a great evening of music. He'll really bring the house down with his piano playing. In addition to the trio, there will be a great female vocalist."
"The holiday season will soon be upon us whether or not we're ready," said Yereb. "I think that "A Sparkling December" is just the thing to kick-off this memorable time of year. And we're especially grateful to Dean Steven Nameth and his staff at Kent State University for allowing us to again have the jazz festival and art auction."
Tickets will be on sale at the following locations: Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, Vivian's Antiques and Collectibles in Columbiana, or at Consign & Design in Poland. Reservations may be made by calling Viencek at 330-332-4723.
A call to artists
The Salem Storybook Museum is looking for artists to donate original artwork for the show. This can include: photography, pastels, oils, acrylics, sculptures. The artist will receive 75 percent of the money from the sale while the museum retains 25 percent. To obtain an application contact Viencek.
"I taught art for many years at Salem City Schools," said Yereb. "At the first show we included original artwork from the elementary students. This year we're including the junior high and high school students as well as St. Paul of Salem. Art is such a great way to express one's talents, and since we're a children's museum, it is only natural to include these gifted young people."
Special items for auction
If anyone would like to donate something seasonal for the auction, they may do so. Or if an individual would like to put in an unusual piece of crystal, pottery, ceramics, a print or painting, etc. it would be appreciated.

Author and activist Chaz Bono, the famous transgender son of Cher and Sonny Bono, was sent home on last night's episode of 'Dancing with the Stars,' following weeks of mediocre performances.
Bono struggled with the technical elements of his dances each week, yet managed to stay afloat in the competition despite consistently low judges scores because of a strong following from the audience. He also overcame a knee injury early in the show.
"I came on this show because I wanted to show America a different kind of man," Bono said. "If there was something like me on TV when I was growing up, my whole life would have been different."
"I dedicate everything I did to the people that are struggling," he added. "To all the kids and teens out there, you can have a wonderful, great life."
Bono was the show's first transgender contestant. To me, he is Chaz, but to my parents' generation he is Chastity, the blonde hair, blue-eyed little girl they came to know from his parents' popular television show.
His departure comes this same week the ballroom exploded in fiery remarks between the judges and professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, U.S. women's soccer player Hope Solo's partner in the competition.
Chmerkovskiy offended the judges by accusing them of giving unfair feedback and scores, and in part for that, he and Solo received some of their lowest scores of the competition and were in jeopardy of being sent home.
Tune into ABC next Monday at 8 p.m. for a display of Halloween themed dances and to see what Chmerkovskiy and the judges have to say to one another about this week's very public argument.
The Contestant's Scores:
• Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer – 19
• David Arquette and Kym Johnson – 23
• Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy – 20
• J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff – 29
• Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus – 24
• Ricki Lake and Derek Hough – 29
• Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke – 22

Rivers flowing into the sea offer great potential as electricity source
Submitted by Jamie Williamson on Thu, 04/19/2012 - 14:15
Washington, April 19 : Researchers say a new genre of electric power-generating stations could supply electricity for more than a half billion people by tapping just one-tenth of the global river water flow into the oceans.
The process requires no fuel, is sustainable and releases no carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas).
Menachem Elimelech and Ngai Yin Yip explained that the little-known process, called pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO), exploits the so-called salinity gradient - or difference in saltiness - between freshwater and seawater.
In PRO, freshwater flows naturally by osmosis through a special membrane to dilute seawater on the other side. The pressure from the flow spins a turbine generator and produces electricity.
The world's first PRO prototype power plant was inaugurated in Norway in 2009.
With PRO appearing to have great potential, the scientists set out to make better calculations on how much it actually could contribute to future energy needs under real-world conditions.
Elimelech and Yip concluded that PRO power-generating stations using just one-tenth of the global river water flow into the oceans could generate enough power to meet the electricity needs of 520 million people, without emitting carbon dioxide.
The same amount of electricity, if produced by a coal-fired power plant, would release over one billion metric tons of greenhouse gases each year.
The research appeared in ACS' journal Environmental Science and Technology. (ANI)

COCOLAMUS - Basic sports principles dictate that it's difficult to score when you don't have the ball.
Saturday, this was the case for the Greenwood girls basketball team.
The Wildcats made the trip to face Tri-Valley League opponent East Juniata, but between their own turnovers and the Tigers' tenacious effort on defense, Greenwood never had much of a chance in the 49-28 contest.
"We can blame it on a lot of different factors, but the bottom line is that we just didn't show up and play the way we needed to play," Greenwood coach Amy Davidson said.
An inability to break East Juniata's press was the first place Greenwood's play fell short of the win. East Juniata's guards - particularly Kasi Horning and Caitlin Hoover - notched steal after steal from their full-court press, and it quickly resulted in a 12-7 lead for the Tigers by the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Tigers proceeded to go on a 7-0 run in the first couple minutes, and five of those points were a product of the press. By the end of the game, Horning had 14 steals and Hoover had six as they consistently put the pressure on the Wildcats.
However, if East Juniata's pressure was one factor in the game, Greenwood's trouble responding to it was another.
"I think we had seven or eight turnovers the last game, but we had more than that in the first quarter of this game," said Davidson, who gave the Tigers credit for the work on the press, but also pointed to her own team's difficulties hanging onto the ball as a an important factor in the game.
Offensively, East Juniata ran smoothly as Maddie Trego played tough in the post, scoring a game-high 20 points, and Megan Graybill connected on a couple 3-pointers as part of her 11-point effort. Often, their baskets were the result quick, efficient passes from the guards.
On the Wildcats' end, the buckets were harder to come by as East Juniata's steals and rebounding limited Greenwood's number of looks. The Wildcats also missed several open shots, and they scored no more than nine points in a single quarter.
"We've turned the intensity up on defense. It's something we pride ourselves on here. Our three losses this year, stuff got away from us, so we're back to doing the things that have worked for us in the past," East Juniata coach Travis Quici said.
Morgan Kauffman was the Wildcat who best stood up to East Juniata, scoring in every quarter but the first for a team-high six points, but the Wildcats couldn't muster enough offense to threaten East Juniata.
In the third quarter, East Juniata outscored Greenwood 12-3. In the fourth, Greenwood outpaced the Tigers, 9-4.
From Davis' perspective, the loss was disappointing, but she predicts a quick recovery for her girls.
"I did put some ownership on the girls and tell them that they need to look at themselves a little bit, hold themselves accountable, their teammates accountable and we will bounce back from this. And we're going to do it together, not individually," she said.
Quici was glad about the way his girls responded to the coaching staff's instruction.
"Kudos to the girls tonight - it's all them," he said. "They did exactly what we asked them to do tonight."
In JV action, East Juniata came away with the 27-21 win. Erin Heimbach led the Tigers with a game-high 18 points, while Emily Black led the Wildcats with eight.
Greenwood (8-8, 7-4) travels to Newport Tuesday. The Tigers (7-3, 5-3) make the trip to Upper Dauphin the same day.

There's nothing quite like Summer entertaining as it takes you outside on the patio, or by the pool, or on the beach. Yummy food and drinks are a major component too, with pot lucks and theme parties being so prevalent. This "watermelon cake" that I made for my latest contribution to Tablespoon is the perfect dessert to bring to your next summer pot-luck party. Get the recipe here or simply make a white cake and tint it a deep pink color before baking.
The real treat is that it looks like a big cross section of watermelon with the green rind and chocolate chip seeds. Here are my tips for getting the look:
Baking 2 layers will yield 2 watermelon cakes.
Divide white icing into 2 separate bowls. Add green food coloring to one until desired color is achieved. Add red food coloring to the other until desired color is achieved.
Start with the red frosting and cover the top of each cake layer, leaving about 1/4 inch border.
- Using the green frosting, cover the sides and border area.
- Top with mini chocolate chips for "seeds."

I hope you'll give this cake a try. Your guests and the kids will love how it looks!

All eligible in-service UFT members and their dependents have prescription drug coverage through the UFT Welfare Fund. There are no waiting periods for this coverage.
In fact, after enrolling in the Welfare Fund, newly enrolled members who are awaiting their Welfare Fund Medco/Express-Scripts (ESI) Prescription ID drug cards can purchase the prescription drugs they need and, once their cards arrive, submit the original receipts to the Fund for reimbursement.
Here is how the plan works
There are two types of drugs.
Acute illness drugs are those that you need immediately, such as an antibiotic. This type of drug will be dispensed to you at your local pharmacy.
Maintenance drugs are those that are taken over extended periods of time, such as antihistamines for allergies or drugs for high blood pressure. Typically, you will use the Medco/ESI By Mail service because you will save money and convenient delivery is made to your home. However, there are certain drugs that can only be dispensed in a 30-day supply at the local pharmacy.
Certain drugs require either "step therapy" or "prior authorization." Step therapy applies to first-time users of a medication, and this may require that you try a first-line medication (usually a generic or an over-the-counter medication). If your doctor finds that this is not working well, you will be allowed to try another preferred brand or nonpreferred brand-name drug. These drugs are indicated as STP (step therapy) on the formulary.
In addition, certain drugs require a prior authorization to make sure that the therapy and dosage are within FDA guidelines. Prior authorization requires your physician to call a toll-free number (1-800-753-2851) to make the request to cover these drugs before they can be dispensed.
These drugs have the annotation PA (prior authorization) next to them on the drug formulary. (The drug formulary lists drugs that are either generic or preferred brands that are covered by the Welfare Fund.)
How much do I pay for each prescription?
The Welfare Fund has a three-tier co-pay structure for generic, preferred-brand and nonpreferred-brand medications [see chart below]. You can save money by using generics (tier 1) or preferred-brand medications (tier 2) whenever possible, but this is a decision between you and your doctor. Nonpreferred brand-name drugs (tier 3 — those not listed on the Fund's formulary) have the highest co-pays.
At the pharmacy, if your doctor has not indicated that the pharmacist must dispense a brand name, you will get a 30-day supply of a generic drug for $5 provided there is one available. (If your doctor insists on a brand name, there will be a higher co-pay.) At the pharmacy, you can get the first fill of your prescription and up to two refills if your doctor has indicated extra refills. After three fills, you must use the Medco/ESI By Mail service (delivered to your home) for a 90-day supply or 100 pills/capsules, whichever is greater.
You should share a copy of the drug formulary with your doctor because it will allow him or her to make a safe yet affordable decision for you. The formulary is available online.
Maintenance drugs
For drugs that you take over an extended period of time, the Welfare Fund provides for a 90-day supply (or 100 pills/capsules, whichever is greater) for the price of two months' supply (two co-pays) through Medco/ESI By Mail, and you can get up to three refills (which is a year's supply on one prescription).
By getting your drugs through Medco/ESI By Mail, you have the convenience of having the delivery right to your home by simply sending your prescription in a prepaid envelope, which is available from your chapter leader, or by calling the Fund's forms hotline at 1-212-539-0539.
When visiting your doctor
When visiting your doctor, bring a copy of the UFT Welfare Fund Drug Formulary list (available at the Fund's website, www.uftwf.org). The formulary lists the brands and generic equivalents that are available.
Most plans have their own formulary list; your doctor doesn't know what is and what is not covered. If you share the list with your doctor, he or she can usually find the appropriate drug for you on that list, thereby saving you money without sacrificing quality.
In addition, the Welfare Fund has created a personal medication form that you should fill out and take with you when you see your doctor. The form asks you to list all prescription and over-the-counter medications that you are taking and suggests questions you should ask when your doctor prescribes a new medication. Download a copy of the Personal Medication Guide Form online or call the Welfare Fund at 1-212-539-0539.
Families with high drug expenses
There are two components to the Welfare Fund's plan that affect families with high drug expenses. These are the $1,000 co-pay cap and the Cost Care Program.
The trustees of the UFT Welfare Fund have instituted a co-pay cap for all eligible members and their families. Once your family's co-pays reach $1,000 in out-of-pocket expenditures, the rest of your drugs in tier 1 and tier 2 are free for the year. Co-pays must still be paid for tier 3 drugs.
Families whose combined prescription drug claim benefits exceed $1,200 (the total cost of the drugs paid for by the Welfare Fund) during the previous months of December through November are enrolled in the Welfare Fund's Cost Care Program effective in January and receive a Cost Care drug card.
For members and their in-service spouse or domestic partner who is also a member, this total is $2,400 due to the special coordination of benefits.
When a brand-name drug has an approved generic equivalent, you can still get the brand-name drug but you will be responsible for the difference in cost between the two drugs in addition to the applicable co-pays (until you hit the $1,000 annual co-pay cap).
This difference is known as an ancillary fee and will be charged to you even if you hit the $1,000 co-pay cap. Your family's status is reviewed every 12 months; if your total claims fall below $1,200 ($2,400 for members with special coordination of benefits), you return automatically to the regular drug plan the following January.
Specialty drugs
As a result of a negotiated citywide health benefit agreement, the city-administered PICA Drug Program, rather than the UFT Welfare Fund, covers injectables (including EpiPen) and chemotherapy drugs. These specialty drugs have a $100 deductible per calendar year and higher co-pays. The New York City PICA drug plan card should be used to obtain these types of drugs. The PICA program is administered by Express Scripts, which can be reached at 1-800-467-2006.
Also, by state law, diabetes drugs are covered by your health insurance plan, not by the Welfare Fund drug plan. Show your health insurance card at the pharmacy when ordering these drugs.
The Welfare Fund does not cover prescription-strength versions of over-the-counter medications such as Motrin, Aleve and Zantac.

Our stay at Jason's loft could not have been any better. He was super nice, picked us up from the train station and showed us around the apartment and the neighborhood. Definitely a good host! The apartment itself was very spacious, clean and quiet. The subway station is a 5 minute walk away and there's a nice mall that is about 10 minutes away by foot. We really liked the area the loft is located in. It usually took us about 30 minutes to get to downtown Manhattan. We will definitely be staying at Jason's place again whenever we're back in New York!
The apartment is nice and spacious. You have all the things you need in it. There are 2 Queens size and one single bed and they are comfortable. The apartment is like in the pictures.
Jason is very nice, friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is safe and you have supermarkets, restaurants and a mall close to the apartment.
The subway is near the apartment (5 minutes) and it takes 30 min to Times Square and almost 50 min to the World Trade Center. The WiFi works perfectly and there are a PC with internet too.
We stayed here over thanksgiving weekend. Jason the host was so helpful he had water waiting for us upon arrival and we had previously e.mailed him asking if he could get us some essentials in like milk, bread and butter which he did. The apartment was very clean and a good equipped kitchen. On his computer he has a map of the underground trains which was very helpful to us as we travelled on the subway loads. The subway is literally a 2 minute walk end of the road turn left and it was at the end of the next block. We bought a 7 day metro card for 31 dollars even though we were only there 4 days worked out a lot cheaper. We would definitely stay with Jason again when we go back to New York .
We had a very nice time in Queens! The flat was perfect - close to metro and Jason was very helpful and supportive whenever we need help and answered promptly!
Many thanks for this!
Jason gave us a friendly welcome, gave us always good advices and was an excellent host. He's available around the clock.
The apartment includes a living & three bedrooms, a kitchen as well as a bath (with hair dryer, mirror, towels,...) as you can see in the Pictures. The place is simple, clean and tidy. Only the couch is need to be changed.
We drove by Metro to the City for about 20-30 minutes.
From JFK to the Apartment we drove by taxi for about 30 - 45 minutes, depending on traffic.
Different supermarkets are in the immediate vicinity of the Apartment.
Jason is a welcoming host, and the check-in process is extremely straightforward and smooth. The apartment is conveniently located next to the subway station that will take you directly to the city center in no time. I'd recommend this place without any hesitation to anyone!
it was an remarkable stay at Jasons place. we stayed ther for 11 days and it was a comfortable and big apartement. Not too noisy , in a pleasant Asian neighbourhood in Queens. The last day there were a lot of planes who flew over
our houses and that was not nice to stay there. Jason was a fine host en very friendly and a good help when there was a problem with the shower and closet. Then he came quick to fix it. He told us a lot about the possibilities to travel to the highlights of New York.We all look back to a fantastic stay. glad greetings Margriet.
The visit was great! Jason is a very nice host, he will help you with any question you have. The appartment was very beautiful and equipped with anything you need. A nice big television, a computer, proper bathroom, two bedrooms with very good beds. Subway is very close and also shops and a few diners are close. Great accomodation!!
The apartment was perfect! Everything was clean and looked even better in real than it did in the photos.
The keyless entry makes entering and leaving the apartment very easy without having to worry about losing a key.
The subway station is pretty much around the corner. The walk takes less than 5 minutes. From there, several trains take you to Manhatten in about 20 minutes. The ride from and to JFK Airport takes about 30 minutes.
Jason was a great host, he was waiting for us as we arrived and helped us carry our suitcases. He even had bottled water waiting for us in the refrigerator.
We will definitely come back. Thank you, Jason!
This place was very clean, spacious, fully equipped. Beds very comfortable. Wifi works perfecty and there are PS with internet too. Subway is close, about 5 minutes walk. 30 minutes by subway to Times Square. Neighborhood was very peace with nice and frendly people. A lot of local groceries, local market, supermarket, taiwan restaurant in this area.
Jason was very helpful and dedicated. I recommend this place!
Thanks again Jason!

60 Years of Style
All this week we're going to be publishing stories that have only ever appeared in Hail Varsity Magazine. If you're not a subscriber or haven't had the chance to see Hail Varsity on the newsstands, this is your chance to see what we were up to in year one. And, if you like what you read, click the subscribe link. There's plenty more to come in year two.
Prior to last year's first meeting with Wisconsin, where the Huskers' donned alternate uniforms for the first time, we ran this feature by Brandon Vogel on the past 60 years of uniforms at Nebraska. It was accompanied by some excellent illustrations from Quentin Lueninghoener, also a staffer at the magazine, which you can see here. The story was originally published in Volume 1 Issue 4 of Hail Varsity Magazine.
Let's talk about the 'N.' The N that appears on the Nebraska helmets, not its blockier cousin, the iron-N, which serves as the athletic department's primary brand across all sports. Around Nebraska's marketing offices the helmet logo is known as the "football-N" and it means something.
The Huskers' uniform history doesn't start there but in the 45 years since the football-N first appeared on Nebraska's helmets in the 1967 Sugar Bowl – accompanied by a U at the time and for the next three years – that single, spare letter has become the defining identity of Nebraska football. It's plain but proud and surrounded by plenty of empty space. In that way, it's nearly a perfect fit for the state it represents.
It shouldn't be a surprise then that when it came time for Nebraska to work on a new alternate look for one game – the uniforms you will see this Saturday against Wisconsin — that there was one element that was essentially off limits.
"Over time, with the branding that we've had and the consistency with the helmet and the championships we've won with it, the N has become iconic," Michael Stephens, Nebraska's associate athletic director for marketing, licensing and concessions, said. "Less is more. We didn't want to change the logo on the side of helmet."
Less is more might not be the description one would use for Nebraska's alternate look overall, but that's part of what made a look back at 60 years of Husker uniform history seem particularly important right now. Everything that came in the past played a role in what you'll see on the field this Saturday.
In the early years, function definitely trumped form when it came to uniform design. Long before the age of uniform sponsorship, a team's look was limited by whatever its supplier could provide. Some teams were able to create iconic looks even with those limitations.
Northwestern popularized the thin-wide-thin triple stripe that's become a staple of football uniforms throughout college and the pros. It's now known as a "Northwestern stripe." The two-color stripe that circles the shoulders of such teams as Ole Miss, LSU, and the Indianapolis Colts was first used by UCLA in the 1950s. That's now known as a "UCLA stripe." Nebraska has worn both the Northwestern stripe (1946 – 1949) and the UCLA stripe (1957 – 1959, 1968 – 1974) through the years.
In 1962, however, nobody looked quite like the Huskers. Bob Devaney brought his good sense of humor, better football smarts, and a quirky new uniform to Lincoln that year. The Huskers ran out that year wearing slinky, stylized numbers that, like the coach himself, were almost jovial. Famed Sports Illustrated sports writer Dan Jenkins called Nebraska "ill-attired" in the "skinny numerals" in 1965, but it was perhaps the most distinctive look in recent Nebraska history. When the Huskers wore throwback uniforms for the first time in 2009, this was the design they revived.
Credit the Tom Osborne era teams with the look Huskers fans are still enjoying today. From 1975 to 2002, Nebraska's look changed very little. The Huskers wore white or red pants with a triple stripe down the sides. The jerseys were defined by the one color, block numbers that scream tradition and highlight the strength of the scarlet and cream as a color combo. Look at any of the teams with traditional uniforms today – Michigan, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee, Notre Dame – and you'll find that the common uniform link between them all is that one-color block number on at least one of the jerseys. Incidentally, all seven of those teams, plus Nebraska, currently rank in the top 10 in all-time winning percentage.
Most Nebraska fans have a deep appreciation for that continuity but, despite what some might think, many of the current players do to. Oregon and Oklahoma State may grab headlines by wearing something new each week, but Nebraska's uniform still gets its intended message across.
"It says tradition," sophomore running back Ameer Abdullah said of Nebraska's standard look. "Just wearing the same uniform that Johnny Rodgers or Mike Rozier wore means a lot."
The alternate uniform Nebraska will wear this week was a way to give the current Huskers a taste of the latest trends while still remaining true to the university's identity. And while the futuristic look has a few nods to Nebraska's tradition, it will also represent a series of firsts:
1. Nebraska will wear a black helmet for the first time in school history. It will also be the first time the Huskers haven't worn either a white or red helmet since plastic replaced leather.
2. For the first time since 1933, a large N takes the place of the standard uniform number as the dominant element on the front of the jersey.
3. The Huskers will have an outlined number on the jerseys for the first time in at least 60 years, maybe ever.
4. Nebraska will wear all red uniforms for the first time since the 1986 Oklahoma game, a 20-17 loss in Lincoln.
Love them or hate them, Nebraska's game against Wisconsin is going to look unlike any game that's been played in Memorial Stadium before.
"We wanted to go to the edge of our brand, but we didn't want to jump over that line and go into something that wasn't us," Stephens said of the alternates.
It's tough to argue that Nebraska will be mistaken for anyone else with that giant black N coming straight at you. It still means something, even in black.
Just ask Justin Jackson, the senior center from Roca, Neb. With the exception of a few minor tweaks, he wears the same Nebraska jersey now that the players wore when he was born in 1990. That will change this Saturday, but he's dealing with it just fine.
"It's still the 'N' on the side of the helmet," he said. "Every time you see that thing on there, especially during the game when it's got some scuffs, it's a sweet thing to have on."

Now that the Dow Jones Industrial Average's (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) 10-day winning streak is over, the index appears to be working on a losing streak. After falling 25 points on Friday, the Dow is down another 18 points, or 0.13%, as of 12:55 p.m. EDT.
On Friday, it appeared investors were ready for the streak to end, as they took money off the table and locked in profits. But today, a stressed world financial system is leading the markets lower following a controversial decision in the small country of Cyprus.
On Saturday, the European Union bailed out Cyprus, which really didn't make world news. But what did make headlines is the fact that part of the bailout will be paid for by the country's bank deposits. The deal imposes a tax on all checking and savings deposits within the country. This breaks the long-held rule that bank deposits are untouchable and the "safest" place to store your money.
Cyprus' government still needs to vote on the bailout deal, but the distant threat of bank runs not only in Cyprus but throughout Europe has the markets moving lower.
Today's Dow downers
My fellow Fool Alex Planes noted earlier today that on March 18, 1850, the modern U.S. financial industry began, and due to the announcement from Cyprus' government officials on Saturday, institutions that have survived for more than 162 years are under stress today. Shares of American Express (NYSE: AXP ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) are down 0.4% and 1%, respectively, as investors fear irrational consumers may bring the European financial system to a grinding halt.
As we saw with the financial crisis just a few years ago, the world banking system is more connected and intertwined than ever before. Once one domino is tipped over, it's difficult to save the rest before they have all fallen. If Cyprus' solution to its own problems spreads fear throughout Europe, the U.S. banking system and financial industry will also take a hit.
Shares of Boeing (NYSE: BA ) are also losing altitude today after its closest competitor, Airbus, announced the largest commercial airplane deal ever. Lion Air, operating out of Indonesia, ordered 234 planes, worth $24 billion, from Airbus. The deal is not only a missed opportunity for Boeing, but it also represents a lost customer. Just last year, Lion Air cut a deal with Boeing for 230 of its new 737 Max airplanes worth more than $22 billion. That deal also gave Lion Air the right to buy 150 more, but it would now appear that the option for more 737s will not be exercised.
Boeing is a major player in a multitrillion-dollar market in which the opportunities are massive. However, emerging competitors and the company's execution problems have investors wondering whether Boeing will live up to its shareholder responsibilities.

omg, first off there is no mayweather curse, people have done very well after have fought floyd, gone on to be world champs, floyd hasn't come close to shutting people down like hopkins has.
as for hatton, dude has had that drinking and drug problem for a long while, well before he even fought in the USA. you would be a fool to believe the " i just started " bullcrap. that is text book of someone who has been doing mess for a while and got caught slippin. hatton was hitting that mess like a triple OG. it had nothing to do with mayweather whatsoever, seriously. if anything pacquiao would have more validity in that, since that was absolutely devastating and im sure embarrassing, but that wasn't the cause of it, it was there long before BUT that is what was relied on, that was the go to feel good i wanna forget sheit route, heavy drink and drugs.
being a bartender in las vegas for over a decade, i know a vet from a new booty, and hatton was on veteran status. you can't tell me a celebrity who is known for marathon drinking sessions isnt doing coke, being around all sorts of god knows what at celeb parties and high society, 90% of marathon drinkers do coke when they drink, it's what gets them through the marathon. hatton was known for his legendary drinking, for a long time, it's easy to put two and two together and get 4 instead of 88 like his PR people would like you to believe or you wannabe spin doctors.
hatton's problem was exposed, nothing more, and it's been apart of his life for longer than he's willing to let any of the public know, thats for sure.

Chicago Heat Wave 1995
In the summer of 1995 there was a week-long heat wave in Chicago. Over 700 people died. Most of them were the elderly, poor, and African-Americans. Link above is a Slate article by Eric Klinberg who wrote the definitive Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago (2003) in which he concludes that "a city, in its decision to operate like a corporation, experienced the breakdown of massive social services" and the resulting "widening cracks in the social foundations of America's cities".

Vest Deflects Rifle Round That Strikes North Carolina DeputyCorporal Jeremy J. Rowley of the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was off duty and at home when his wife departed for work. She alerted Corporal Rowley that she believed someone shot at her as she pulled from their driveway. This was the start of a series of events that ended in the deaths of Rowley's father-in-law and two neighbors.
Rowley went to investigate the report of shots fired. He drove to the nearby residence of his father-in-law, James M. Johnson, a reserve deputy with the sheriff's office. When he arrived he encountered a former neighbor armed with a 9mm pistol and an SKS assault rifle. As Rowley pulled into Johnson's driveway, the former neighbor opened fire with the SKS rifle. Unknown to Rowley, Johnson had already been shot and was down in tall grass just a few feet from him, suffering from multiple wounds that proved to be fatal.
The shooter had returned to his old neighborhood to kill neighbors with whom he had a long-running dispute. He had killed two of his former neighbors before shooting Johnson and likely would have continued his rampage had Rowley not engaged. Sheriff William T. Schatzman described Rowley as a hero for stopping the killer.
Bullets from the SKS rifle struck Rowley in four places: the back of the head, the chest above his protective vest, in the wrist, and in the center of his torso. His body armor stopped the latter bullet. Rowley returned fire, hitting the suspect with several bullets and knocking him to the ground. Critically injured, Rowley called for assistance while bracing himself against the side of his patrol unit and kept his weapon trained on the downed shooter.
Rowley was hospitalized for 15 days and has returned to a staff job while being rehabilitated. The shooter is in jail awaiting court action on three capital murder charges and one charge of attempted murder.
Knife in Trauma Plate Pocket Stops Screwdriver Blade Deputies Ernie W. L. Romero and Brian J. Nessen of the Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sheriff's Department arrived at the scene of a reported domestic dispute in progress. They were met by an individual who identified himself as the stepfather of a man who was inside the mobile home causing an ongoing disturbance. Inside, they found a man who appeared to be intoxicated seated on a bed. He was armed with a 14-inch screwdriver.
While Nessen interviewed the stepfather, Romero spoke with the suspect, who at first refused to put the screwdriver down. He claimed that his stepfather and another person had assaulted him earlier in the day with a baseball bat. Romero was gaining the suspect's confidence and the incident was deescalating when the stepfather entered the bedroom and taunted the suspect about his bravery. Romero directed the stepfather out of the room.
As Romero did so, the suspect thrust the screwdriver into Romero's chest. A knife that Romero carried in the trauma plate pocket of his body armor deflected the blow. The suspect was yelling, in Spanish, "I will kill you" and continued the assault. Romero was stabbed in the face before disarming the suspect and taking him to the floor. Backup units handcuffed the suspect and placed him in a patrol car.
Deputy Romero received treatment for the stab wound to his face. He recovered from the injuries and returned to full duty.
Vest Saves Detective in Shooting Detective Brian E. Fennelly of the Morton Grove, Illinois, Police Department and his partner were investigating a violent home invasion that occurred the night before. One of the criminals reportedly pistol-whipped the female victim. The victim's roommate had interrupted the crime in progress and gave investigators a description of one suspect and the vehicle used by the criminals.
Fennelly and his partner found the suspect vehicle at an apartment complex in northwest Chicago. They obtained both search and arrest warrants and teamed up with a uniformed Chicago Police Department sergeant to serve the warrants. The Morton Grove officers were dressed in civilian business attire with their police badges prominently displayed.
After announcing "Police" they forced entry and immediately encountered an armed suspect. The officers moved to disarm the suspect, who was shot and killed during the scuffle. A second suspect was in the kitchen and opened fire on the officers using a .380-caliber pistol. Fennelly was hit center torso and the bullet was stopped by his protective body armor. Officers returned fire and killed the second suspect.
Fennelly received treatment for a severe bruise caused by the impact of the bullet on his vest. He recovered from the incident. ■

Remarkable People and Beautiful Flowers
I've told you about the wonderful gym I go to and the wonderful people who own it and run it, Rob and Lucinda. Imagine, there is a twenty-four hour gym right in walking distance from where I live, and I love going there.
I never wanted these nice people to know that I had fallen on the treadmill. There never was the tiniest doubt that the accident was caused by my moment of total carelessness. I really didn't want Rob and Lucinda to give it a thought or worry in any way.
If I had an accident with a car, no one from General Motors would ever care, nor would we expect them to. The accident would have had nothing to do with them. And so it was with my spill on the treadmill.
Somehow Rob and Lucinda found out. And, of course, they would give it a thought.
Lucinda called me right away.
And then the next day the Fairfield Flower Shop delivered a beautiful bouquet from Rob and Lucinda!
I would never want this accident to happen to anyone ever, but I tell you the sweetness from everyone, from Lucinda and Rob, from Lauren, and from dear friends like the blogreaders here sure has made an accident seem worthwhile!
May everyone who hurts in any way be so fortunate to be showered with blessings from so many beautiful people as I have been.
Thank you all.

Thanks to social networking, I've been catching up with old friends. And by "old," I mean people who remember when sending a message involved paper and a postage stamp.
Social networking is the new art of communication. Twitterfied talk allows you to annoy thousands of people simultaneously in 140 characters or less.
It allows us to collect deep, profound insights into the very hopes, thoughts and dreams of our friends:
''Home from work - tough day - watching TV.''
Thirty-eight minutes later: ''Nuking hot dogs for dinner.''
Two minutes later: ''Forgot to pick up ketchup. Cheetos instead.''
There is nothing I enjoy more than having these long, personal conversations with my nearest and dearest.
I think there used to be more words involved, but thanks to Twitter and Facebook and the like, no longer must we stare deeply into another person's actual eyes to discern their innermost thoughts. Now we have emoticons.
These days if I meet someone on the street, the conversation will stumble awkwardly after about 20 seconds until one of us finally says:
''So, are you on Facebook?''
''Twitter. Want to be a follower?''
''Sure. Message me.''
Then we'll hurry off to our machines so we can carry on a real conversation.
Now I have an amazingly active social life, without the bother of being either social or active. At last count, I have 327 Facebook friends, and 42 fans of the Burton W. Cole author page. That's at least 15 or 16 times as many as I have of either in real life.
Most of them wanted me to accept lost purple ponies from Farmland Gangster Quest or something like that. Once I blocked all those applications, I was able to get down to the business of interacting socially. Without having to actually talk to a single person. While munching Cheetos and hot dogs.
It's been a wonderful time-waster. Instead of fixing the broken garage door, I've checked in with family, traded quips with acquaintances I didn't know were still alive, viewed photo albums and watched videos of my grandson who lives 530 miles away.
I used to be out of touch. Now I've discovered how much hair my high school classmates have lost and I was among the first to know about three wedding engagements, only one of which turned out to be fake. Sorry, Dana.
Posts I found on people's walls today included such socially networked insights as:
''One thing I tried to teach my kids is NOT to follow in my footsteps. I run into walls.''
''If everyone was at work while I was gone, how did the house end up this way?''
''I'm considering quitting school and writing a book from my hammock.''
''I DON'T mind helping you bathe... I'd rather help than smell you!!!''
OK, I'm not sure about that last one. Hey, we're all wits with our Tweets, texts, status posts and pings. No complete sentences or actual spelling necessary. LOL.
So, c'mon, let's be friends. Just don't ask me to accept today's Smiley Face of Karma Fortune Tiki Zoo Isle of Jeweled Poker Treasure Wars. I'd be forced to defriend you and post a frowny face emoticon on my status update.
Breaking up is a lot less messy for we social networkers.

|Diamondoids Improve Electron Emitters
|Monday, 17 September 2012 12:02
Diamondoids are nanoparticles made of only a handful of carbon atoms, arranged in the same way as in diamond, forming nanometer sized diamond crystals. Previously, researchers at the ALS demonstrated the fascinating capability of these tiny little diamonds to act as a monochromator for electrons. In short, a thin layer of diamondoids deposited on a metal surface will first capture the electrons ejected from the surface below due to its negative electron affinity. These electrons, which are emitted from the metal with a wide variety of kinetic energies – or colors – are then re-emitted by the diamondoid layer but with a very narrow energy distribution. This property, which is unique to diamondoid, is believed to enable the development of a new generation of electron emitters with unprecedented properties.
In Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM), electrons emitted from a sample due to x-ray irradiation are used to obtain images of the chemical or magnetic properties of a surface with high spatial resolution. However, chromatic aberrations limit the resolution typically to 20 nm due to the wide energy distribution of the emitted electrons. While it is possible to add expensive and complex correction elements to the microscope, this experiment demonstrates that the energy spread can instead be reduced right at the source by using an inexpensive, simple coating of diamondoids. Using this approach, the resolution of the PEEM3 microscope at ALS Beamline 11.0.1 improved significantly and researchers were able to attain chemical information from 10 nm Au nanoparticles. The study exemplifies how a problem not suited to conventional engineering solutions can be solved with the help of the unique properties of a nanoparticle.
The following article has been accepted by Applied Physics Letters. After it is published, it will be found at http://apl.aip.org/.
Work performed on ALS Beamline 11.0.1.

Vt. college falls 40 feet from bridgeFebruary 18,2013
COLCHESTER Colchester police say a St. Michaels College student remains hospitalized after jumping off a bridge and falling 40 feet while running from security officers.
Police said Friday nights chain of events began when the man allegedly destroyed merchandise at a convenience store and was chased by college security when he was spotted running through campus.
Police told the Burlington Free Press that the man jumped over the rail of a bridge without warning and fell about 40 feet onto railroad tracks below.
The man was taken to Fletcher Allen hospital, where he was treated in the intensive care unit and remained hospitalized Saturday night.
Police say the man is an out-of-state student at St. Michaels College, but they withheld releasing his name pending notification of his family.MORE IN Vermont NewsIf this hasnt been the worst year ever for truth in politics, I cant think of what was.

Just because the Dolphins are sitting on a surplus of cash doesn't mean that Jeff Ireland is ready to drain the bank account just yet.
The 'Phins need to add some playmakers on both sides of the ball, but they also need to carefully pick and choose where they spend their stash.
As a wise man once said, "The mo' money we come across, the mo' problems we see."
Here are some problems that the Dolphins need to avoid, quite literally, at all costs this offseason.

Answer 1
Answer 2
Answer 3
I'm assuming Microsoft renamed the "MCSE" title "MCITP" based on this thread, and based on the fact i am trying to get the equivalent of and "MCSE in Server 2008 R2" if there is even such a thing.
If MCITP is the Vista/2008 equivalent of MCSE, just like WDS is the Vista/2008 equivalent of RIS why not just say "MCITP / MCSE 2008" on a resemue this way you pick up both the computerized attention for the keyword
MCSE and the attention of the humanr resource rep to allow them to know the name has changed, simalar to hyphenating one's last name
another question, one if my instructors told me that Microsoft will count a CompTIA A+ and Network+ twoard one of your electives on the MCSE, are they still doing this.
Answer 4
Microsoft website:
Q. Does MCSA equate to MCITP: Server Administrator and does MCSE equate to MCITP: Enterprise Administrator?
No, not exactly. The mcitp on Windows Server 2008 certification requires a new skill set—in some cases, a more robust one—that differs from the skill set needed for MCSA and MCSE certifications.
MCITP: Server Administrator certification covers more operations-related job skills than the MCSA certification.
MCITP: Enterprise Administrator maps to an actual job role profile, whereas the MCSE certification does not. The latter combines technology and job skills.
My personal opinion is to go for the Enterprise Administrator if you want the equivalent of MCSE on 2003. I have this myself and I felt like the study and exam process was most similar.

Acadia LSDAR meets at LSU Eunice
The Louisiana Room of the Arnold LeDoux Library on the LSU Eunice campus was the setting for a joint meeting of Acadia and Opelousas Chapters of the Louisiana Society of Daughters of the American Revolution on March 12.
Elaine Simon, Acadia Chapter Community Service Chairman, presented the Chapter's Award to recipient Edward Gary. Gary is a WWII veteran and has works with veterans and veteran organizations since his discharge from the military. He also uses his musical skills to entertain the Southwest Louisiana Veterans Home residents with Cajun music. He was presented a certificate and a lapel pin in recognition of his service.
State Community Service Chairman Alma Reed asked Gary to return to the podium where she presented him a certificate from the LSDAR as the State Winner of the Community Service Award for his work with our veterans.
Reed, as Acadia Chapter Chairman of American History, explained that each year, March is designated as "Women's History Month". At this time DAR Chapters can honor women in the area who have rendered service to their communities and have exemplified the place of women in America's history. This year's recipient for the Acadia Chapter Award was Jo Cart, newspaper publisher of Rayne. Cart was also presented with a certificate and flowers from the Acadia Chapter.
Lacombe then asked Kathleen Stagg, Opelousas Regent, to introduce Dr. Gerald Patout, Director of the LSU Eunice Library, as guest speaker. Mr. Patout began by telling us of his various experiences as a Librarian and especially in the Genealogy Departments. of each of the aforesaid libraries. Since he has been at LSUE he has made materials available electronically for students and increased reading and research materials.
