The department provides a number of research opportunities for students. Students interested in doing research can take PHYS 459 for credit, join one of the departmental research groups (often as a paid intern), or participate in special programs for undergraduates at Argonne and Fermilab.
All graduating seniors must take either PHYS 498 (Senior Seminar) or PHYS 499H (Senior Project). PHYS 499H is a 3-hour course for honors students in which students select a research area of interest and work with a faculty member during the semester, culminating in a presentation. PHYS 498 is a one-hour course; students also do a brief presentation on a physics topic of their choosing at the end of the semester.
PHYS 459 allows students to conduct independent research projects. Projects may either be directly related to a faculty member's own research, or of the student's own choosing. Students interested in this course need the prior approval of a faculty member to sponsor them. The student and the professor decide on a research topic and work out an appropriate set of goals. Students cannot count both PHYS 459 and PHYS 499H towards the minimum number of hours required for the physics major.
Students can also become involved with faculty research programs. The faculty often appreciate the effort of undergraduate students and regularly have funds available to employ students. An interested student can ask the department Chair which faculty members might want student participation of this sort and find out more about those research programs by looking at the department's research pages. Students may also apply to work with faculty through NIU's Student Engegement Fund (SEF), Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URA), Huskie Research Rookies, or USOAR programs which are described at the NIU Undergraduate Research page. There are also NICADD Internships; this is an informal program, and internships are usually awarded to students also involved with one of the NIU undergraduate research programs.
Over the past twenty years the high energy physics group has employed more than 80 undergraduates, with at least one student receiving a URAP award each semester. The students have worked on building charged particle detectors, designing and testing electronics, and analyzing data collected from various Fermilab experiments. Due to NIU's close proximity to Fermilab, such work can be done both part-time during the academic year and full-time during the summer. Students should also directly apply for Fermilab summer programs.
Students also have the opportunity to apply for a Science and Engineering Research Semester at the nearby Argonne National Laboratory, where they will participate in ongoing research projects with Argonne scientific staff members or NIU faculty with joint appointments at Argonne.

text: The pale, blue-green eggs of the Little Blue Heron are laid in April. They can lay from 3-5 eggs, but on average lay 4-5. This process takes 5-8 days, with one egg being laid every other day. Both sexes incubate the eggs until they hatch in 22-24 days, and then quickly remove the eggshells from the nest. It may take about 5 days for all of the chicks to emerge. Although the young can raise their heads, they spend most of their time lying on the nest floor. Both parents feed them by dropping food into the nest and later placing it directly into the chicks' mouths. In about 3 weeks, the young are ready to leave the nest for short trips along surrounding branches. When they are 30 days old, they are able to fly and periodically leave the nest area. Soon after, at 42-49 days, the young are on their own. Little Blue Herons can breed when they are one year old. They have been recorded as living more than 7 years in the wild. (Riegner 1998, Terres 1980, Katusic 1998)

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (558 votes).
In short: Shame about the baggage dropIn full: I emjoyed the race itself and even got a PB on the course. The organisation at the end was chaotic though, could barely get over the finish line to join the queue for water. Baggage drop was hopeless and unmanned. My boyf. had his wallet and phone stolen from his bag, which kind of ruined the day.Date of review: March 13, 2009
In short: Some pleasant scenery, good training and a PBIn full: A few underpasses don't make an undulating/hilly race -I'd say predominantly flat.. try the Chesterfield Sprire 10 for a hilly race (its fab). Marshals great. I saw no problems with the organisation. And a pb in spite of the force 9 gales. Good race.Date of review: March 13, 2009
In short: I did it in 2008, and 2009, and will do it again in 2010In full: The course is ok, challenging in places, and yeah, the wind was a bitch, but hey, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it and you would not have the sense of achievement at the end. As for PB potential, well this year I managed to smash 6 minutes of my PB on this course even though some say it's not flat and bottle necked. The only way you're going get a flat course, with no bottle necks at some point during the race, is if the organisers closed the M1 near MK and we all ran along it.It has been mentioned before, Sergeant Major CHIPPY, screaming at people to get their chip off "NOW" needs to consider going on a people skills course as he may need to get next year's chip surgically removed, but don't let HIM spoil the event, remember, you ran it, he didn't...The end funnel was a bit silly, but patience saw you through, allowing you a few minutes to feel the blood flow to your legs again. As for the traffic, it took me all of 5 minutes to get home so I can't complain but what do you expect when 3000 plus runners and guests descend on one location.Those moaning about the organisation, have you tried to organise such an event!Hail the NIKE MK Half Marathon, I will be back again next year.Date of review: March 12, 2009
In short: Flat route, makes for good PB potential. Strong winds this year thoughDate of review: March 12, 2009
In short: open spaces plus dual carriageways and a very nasty head wind. interesting first 1/2!In full: My first ever race was the BUPA Great South last year and this was my first 1/2. Not sure how I expected this to compare but whilst not as grand an event, no major snags. Course seemed easy enough but a couple of sneaky climbs and the worst thing about the finish was the weather. Water stations not probs, wind was nasty but will be back next! thanks to the organisers Date of review: March 12, 2009
In short: Thanks to the marshalls but orgainsation could have been beter!In full: Most of the other reviews have covered all the points that I would have raised.Would like to do this next year but it depends on the organisational skills!!Date of review: March 11, 2009
In short: Poorly organised, particularly the finish!!!!!!!In full: The finish was a disaster area. Runners queuing for drinks blocked the funnel again. Surely, the drinks station could be moved somewhere else so that those not wanting a drink can get passed.Some marshals were good but many just stood there watching the post that they had presumably been sent there to warn runners about. Some audible warning and display on the post would be useful. (If you have a cricket box I suggest that you wear it next year).Date of review: March 11, 2009
In short: Race itself was good and on course marshalls cheerful and encouraging. End funnel useless again. When will theses guys learn about getting it right at the end . People saw me with my medal " hey how did you get that?" . One guy balling at people get In full: Race itself was good and on course marshalls cheerful and encouraging. End funnel useless again. When will theses guys learn about getting it right at the end . People saw me with my medal " hey how did you get that?" . One guy balling at people get your chips off NOW and then failing to actually help anyone or show where to put the thing. Terible lasting impression and sour taste in the mouth from an other wise good event.Date of review: March 11, 2009
In short: It does what it says and I enjoyed itDate of review: March 10, 2009
In short: Not worth traveling for!In full: This was suppose to be a training aid for the london marathon i am doing next month. It said a flat and fast course to i jumped at it! I wouldn't call that course flat! The wind was a bitch but that wasn't anyones fault! I was quite surprised to see people already walking before the 2 mile marker! At the second water stop i was needed lucozade but only found water! If i had known this I would have bought my own!I found this race disappointing and i won't be back next year, i would expect a tad more from nike!Date of review: March 10, 2009

Rated 3 out of 5�by Jeffqb21 Grip needs attention I got this club for my 10 year old boy who left his 7iron on the course. The club itself seems to be fine, and my son hit it well. However, the grip is very stiff. He complains that it hurts his hands to swing it, but he likes the club. We will regrip the club soon, and make that another lesson on club maintenance. July 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by ProfS You get what you pay for with this youth iron. This is a good value starter club for a youth who is not sure whether or not golf is a sport that he or she will pursue. I learned that the irons are a good starting point and that drivers should be avoided in the early stages of learning. My son is 58" which is too tall for youth sets and not tall enough for the adult sets. I was told that the female petite sets may be a good option. Since I am learning myself, I may consider purchasing a set in a neutral color that we can share. In the interim this is a great starter club. The only caveat is that the grip material and shape is not the best and my son developed a blister. I would suggest wearing gloves on both hands or having band aids on hand just in case. July 1, 2015

I'm often asked how I grew my blog to where it is today and, while I can throw out some tips and ideas and things I *think* contributed to the growth, I haven't been able to come up with one concise answer. Well, I was inspired last night and now I have that answer.
We have a weekly movie night with our boys. My husband and I pick a movie they haven't seen and we snuggle on the couch, eating popcorn. The movie last night was Kung Fu Panda. The premise of the movie is that an overweight, clumsy panda named Po is selected as the chosen one to fight and be victorious over the antagonist. He must reach the highest level of kung fu in order to be worthy to receive the dragon scroll that holds the secret to victory. (Spoiler alert!) Everyone's guessing it will give the recipient magical powers or make him invincible. When Po earns the scroll, he opens it up to see only a reflective piece of paper. Disappointed, he goes back to his father to work in a noodle restaurant again. He's going to leave the fighting to the "real" kung fu experts. His father is pleased he returned and finally reveals the secret ingredient to the family's noodle recipe. It's nothing. There isn't a secret ingredient. The noodles are special because of the person who makes them. That revelation leads Po to understand the dragon scroll. The dragon scroll doesn't give any secret weapon. It reveals that the secret weapon is you. The recipient. Then he goes and kicks butt and saves the entire town.
OK, are you still with me? What's the secret ingredient to a great blog? Yes, things like SEO and link exchanges and all of that stuff can help with your numbers, but ultimately the success or failure of your blog depends on YOU. You're the secret ingredient. Can you image The Lettered Cottage without Layla & Kevin, Centsational Girl without Kate or Thrifty Decor Chic without Sarah? Absolutely not. They are the driving force behind each of those amazing blogs. They are the secret ingredient.
So, what does that mean practically?
YOU are the only YOU –
Take advantage of your uniqueness. Being different will set you apart and people will visit often for your ideas, writing, humor, projects, etc. that aren't like every other blog out there.
Your readers are your friends –
I get so many sweet e-mails from ladies who say they feel like they're my friend. Well, I feel that way too. When I sit down to write, it's like having a little chat with a girlfriend, which I really need most days. It doesn't mean you have to be super personal. Just be honest and real and let them into your world.
You are special –
If you come to your blog with the mindset that you're a loser and you'll never be able to stand out from the crowd of other DIY bloggers, that's going to show in your writing. I don't even have to know you to know you're special and have a lot to offer. You don't have to be a grammarian, spelling champ or term paper whiz to write a blog post. Just write the way you speak and let go of the insecurities about it. My mom proofs my blog posts and she almost always finds something that needs to be corrected. I'm over it. You don't have to be the best at what you do, just be you. That's enough. Know that YOU ARE THE SECRET INGREDIENT and own it.
You can grow –
A wonderful thing about being human is that we can learn and grow. If your photography is terrible, work on improving it. If you struggle with using social media, (ugh, amen) then work on it little by little until you're proficient. We all have room to grow, so don't be discouraged if you feel like it's a slow process. Just work at your own pace.
You don't have to be anyone else –
We've established that you're you and that's enough. So, you don't have to compete with anyone else. You don't have to top anyone else. You don't have to measure yourself against the success of others. I think women do that especially. We walk in a room and see who's skinnier than we are or who has a better outfit. We judge ourselves harshly and take it personally. Maybe we need a little "I'm me and I'm awesome" affirmation club or something. I know it's easier said than done, but it's true. Let go of the notion that life is a big competition and you're losing.
Your blog can be what YOU want it to be –
It's so much easier when I'm writing for my blog and not for one of my editors. It can be whatever I want it to be. The format doesn't matter, the subject is what's on my mind or heart and I don't have to go back and redo anything, because I'm the only one deciding if it's suitable for publication. Your blog can be whatever you want it to be and look like whatever you want it to and the content can be what you want. It can be a hobby, a diary, a way to connect, a business or an outlet. It's all yours and you don't have to fit in a box.
Don't you feel good knowing all of those things? Isn't it freeing?
Now that you know the secret, go out there and kick some butt.

Larry Jordan was introduced to birding after moving to northern California where he was overwhelmed by the local wildlife, forcing him to buy his first field guide just to be able to identify all the species visiting his yard. Building birdhouses and putting up feeders brought the avian fauna even closer and he was hooked. Larry wanted to share his passion for birds and conservation and hatched The Birder's Report in September of 2007. His recent focus is on bringing the Western Burrowing Owl back to life in California where he also monitors several bluebird trails. He is a BirdLife Species Champion and contributes to several other conservation efforts, being the webmaster for Wintu Audubon Society and the Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Urban Bird Foundation. He is now co-founder of a movement to create a new revenue stream for our National Wildlife Refuges with a Wildlife Conservation Pass.

Over the summer, a friend recommended Steve Johnson's book "Where Good Ideas Come From – the natural history of innovation", not only is it a great book, it contains some really important themes that I think are worth calling out for future exploration. Here's a few that resonated with me (and why) but you can expect to hear more about these in the coming weeks. (Anyone paying attention will also note that Johnson dedicates a whole chapter in his book to "serendipity" – I have excluded it from this post not because I don't find it relevant but because I want to focus on it much more deeply in the near future.)
1) The Adjacent Possible
This is one of those "obvious now that you mention it" kind of things where simply, when you are looking for the best ideas, or what makes ideas work, you have to find the ideas that are adjacent to existing concepts, two steps away is too far and will never happen, one step away and you're in. This is where the natural history meme comes in, if you think about evolution, you can't start at the big bang and immediately make humans or sunflowers or puppies or chicken tikka massala (although I'm thinking there would have been enough heat there for a pretty efficient tandoor oven so you could have had a shot at that last one), the point is you have to incrementally change all those atoms and molecules over a period of time until the evolutionary process provides you with the opportunity to move that final strand of DNA or molecule to make that complex outcome or even Graham Norton.
This principle is exactly the same for our ideas, the reason I can't have my hovercar is because the concept is not adjacent to our existing ideas or technological capabilities – we simply lack the building blocks to put it together (although, after hearing about that Swiss bloke practising fusion in his kitchen, you've got to think that somewhere out there, is a Doc Brown waiting to happen).
In the book, Johnson uses the analogy of a house with infinite rooms, all interconnected. You walk into the first room, it has 4 doors each connected to further rooms with further doors. You can't go to any room in the house without first traversing a series of other, connected rooms. This is where some of the inherent beauty of the adjacent possible lies, it's potential grows exponentially with every new stage of discovery.
It's also a great tool to try and use when you're trying to validate the strength of any given idea – does it represent the adjacent possible or the distant impossible?
2) Liquid Networks & Exaptation
Forgive me, while I get all Hybrid Organisation on your collective asses, but we've been talking for a couple of years now, about the importance of workplace design and its relationship to the collective innovation of a team or organisation. Johnson provides some nice analogies that help to push that story a little further. So, close your eyes, put yourself back a few years and imagine yourself back in the 5th form at school, in double Physics to be precise, just before your mock O'level. Using the concept of solids, liquids and gases, Johnson describes the inherent ability for individuals (acting like molecules) to oscillate those individuals around them (stop sniggering at the back Coplin, I said "oscillate"). If you constrain the extent to which the individuals can move, i.e. restrict their office layout with offices and cubicles, it's like the molecules in a solid, they exist but have little effect on each other. If you go to the other extreme and remove all constraints (i.e. no office at all) you end up with chaos (the collaborative equivalent of a gaseous state) where molecules dissipate into the environment and have little effect on each other.
What you really want, he proposes, (and the Hybrid Organisation agrees) is a liquid state, where the molecules are free to move around but remain within the overall context of the organisation. Molecules can bounce around inside the liquid, resulting in an agile collective can change shape and move as needs dictate. This is essentially creating the perfect environment for collaboration, innovation and exaptation. Exaptation? That's when an organism develops a trait for a specific use, then that trait gets hijacked for a completely different purpose. Feathers are the classic example of this, initially evolved to provide temperature regulation for birds, the birds discovered that they're also pretty good for flying too, and then evolution takes over and you end up with streamlined aerofoils rather than fluffy, downy warmth.
Exaptation of ideas is a huge part of innovation and is also a crucial part of serendipity. Like serendipity, it also requires a free, liquid network that enables disparate ideas, individuals or concepts to come together to create innovation.
3) The Slow Hunch – Why Eureka! Takes Time
There's not much to this important concept, other than it dispels the myth that most of our great innovations come from single individuals who experience a "light bulb" moment and have the big idea. Although that explanation may work for Hollywood because it's a better and easier story to tell, the reality is that many of the important discoveries, innovations and ideas of our entire history are actually the result of lifetimes of work and study often bordering onto obsession. We know this inherently, but often choose to ignore it. Our best ideas, are often the ones that we've left to fester at the back of our minds, nurtured and tended by, a long shower or a long walk, to help them mature to their full potential. <Assumes crap French accent> "Ideas are like fine wines, they need time to mature, percolate and infuse" .
The reality of the slow hunch is actually a cumulative factor that builds on liquid networks, exaptation and serendipity – all elements that make our view on _discovery_ so crucial to our overall objective in search. What is key then, is to be able to feed, nurture and evolve an individual concept over a long period of time, incredibly though it seems that in order to make the breakthrough, the concept needs to be at the background of your cognitive activity not the foreground, slowly percolating away to completion.
You may not see the link in all of this, but every time I walk into the office I do. These days, I know I'm pretty lucky, I have a job that makes it easy for me to explore the adjacent possible, to "exapt" ideas by forming a liquid network of influencers and thought leaders inside and outside of Microsoft – but I also can see the constraints, especially as we get busier, we don't always have time for the slow hunch to mature, and we find it hard to leave the safe confines of our team, office or sector. My encouragement to you is to make time, make time to cultivate new ideas, make time to speak to people outside of your team, make time to explore the adjacent possible. It won't help you today, but I guarantee it will set the stage for your greatness tomorrow.

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a round, deep 20cm tin, then line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper.
Using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and ¼ tsp salt together until pale and fluffy, then pour in the eggs, one at a time, giving the mix a really good beating before adding the next. Add 1 tbsp of the plain flour if the mix starts to look slimy rather than fluffy. Beat in the yogurt.
Mix the flours; then, using a large metal spoon, fold them into the batter, followed by the milk. Spoon the mix into the tin and bake for 1 hr 20 mins or until well risen and golden – a skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Meanwhile, make the syrup by gently heating 50ml water with the sugar and vanilla in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Once the cake is out of the oven, leave to cool for 30 mins in the tin, then use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, going right to the bottom. Pour the syrup over, letting it completely soak in after each addition. Leave to cool completely, then either wrap the cake well or fill and ice it. If you wrap it with baking parchment and cling film, the unfilled cake will keep well for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.
For ideas on how to decorate the cake and to try out some variations on this basic cake mixture, have a look at the 'Goes well with' recipes for Simple elegance wedding cake, Birthday bug cake and Summer celebration cake.
A good, basic vanilla buttercream
Put 175g soft unsalted butter into a large bowl. Beat with electric beaters for a few secs until pale. Gradually add 300g sifted icing sugar, a spoonful at a time. Keep beating until mixture is pale and creamy. Beat in seeds from 1 vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla paste. Makes enough to cover a 20cm cake. Will keep in fridge for 1 week. Bring back to room temperature and beat well before using.

I've finally found the cake to use for my son's birthday cake! This is the 3rd recipe I've tried and it's definitely the best. It's moist and fluffy but also dense enough to hold up to cutting into shape and being decorated with buttercream.
I made exactly as per the recipe except I used an 11x7 inch brownie pan. My oven is hot so it only needed 57 mins at 140° fan. I didn't use the syrup as it will get plenty of extra sweetness from the buttercream but if I wasn't decorating it I would consider using it. It doesn't have a strong vanilla flavour so I may add a bit more next time but all in all this is a great cake. Easy to make and tastes fantastic :-)
Am currently baking my third vanilla cake in two weeks and fully expect the same perfect results. I also don't bother with the syrup as I think it is sweet and moist enough without. Taste and texture even better a day after baking ... though I haven't noticed much of a vanilla taste either with vanilla seeds or extract so perhaps may play around with that in future.
Took 3 attempts to get this right..........but was worth it! Needed a 10" by 4" deep layer for a tier of wedding cake. I decided to cook it in 2 halves to get the right depth and used the online 'cakeometer' to work out the quantities, each half using 6 eggs. First 2 attempts a disaster as eggs curdled despite being room temperature on adding to butter/sugar. Eventually I followed instructions up until adding 4th egg, then slowed beaters ad gradually added next two eggs and all of flour.......result was light, fluffy and silky mixture!
Next was the cooking time. I lined the tins and wrapped in 4 layers of newspaper and stood on baking tray that had a sheet of newspaper on it. They needed cooking for 2 hours after turning around after hour 15 mins and turned out perfectly!
I never bothered with the syrup as cakes were moist enough without.
Hope this helps someone as I read many of the reviews before attempting and still wasted a lot of time/ingredients
So so impressed with this cake! I wanted something plain and easy that would withstand fondant icing. I only made a 6" cake so I halved the recipe and used 3 medium eggs and it turned out wonderfully. I was a bit hesitant about cooking it for so long even at the low temperature as my oven runs hot and tends to burn things easily - however it turned out so good I'm now wondering if you can cook all cakes this way?! It was evenly risen and a perfect light golden brown colour. It sliced like a dream and I'd 100% make it again. Only thing I didn't bother with was the syrup as I went off the other comments. It was moist enough without.
Questions (22)
Thanks for your question. We can only guarantee the results of any of our recipes with the ingredients we have tested. It depends what you hope to achieve as well. If you're looking to reduce fat content, it should be born in mind that the fat content affects the texture of the finished cake. You could try experimenting with a lower fat content or try one of our low-fat cake recipes instead. Good luck!
Hi there. We don't have a record of the height of the finished cake unfortunately however, looking at the number of eggs in this cake we would expect it to be deeper than 2inches once baked. We have some guides to baking which might be of use such as this one: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-cake-top-10-problems-fixed hope this helps.
Unfortunately we don't have an eggless version of this cake and we can't think of a substitute that you can use successfully for an exact result. If the quantity of eggs exceeds two in a cake recipe, it is difficult to substitute them without changing the texture or taste of the cake. For small quantities some bakers use the following to replace 1 egg: 1/2 mashed banana or 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, or 1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 1/3 cup water for 15 mins or 1 tbsp agar-agar mixed with 1 tbsp water. Hope that helps, and we will pass on your request for more egg-free cakes.
Hi Pricey109, thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you're not having success with this recipe. Can I ask, does the mixture come back together again when you add a tablespoon of flour as per step 2? And what was the result when baked? Also, if you take the eggs out of the fridge and allow them to come up to room temperature before using that can also help to stop the mixture from splitting. Hope this helps, let us know how it goes if you decide to bake it again.

Mustang Hoofprints: April 18
Hello Mustang Fans!
Congratulations to SMSU women's golfer Marissa Campeau, who was named the NSIC golfer of the week for her performance at the Green and Gold Classic on Sunday and Monday in St. Joseph, Mo., and Maryville, Mo.
Campeau, a native of Grantsburg, Wisc., finished in seventh place with a 21-over-par 165 at the 10-team tournament hosted by Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Western State. Campeau finished the first round with an 85, then shot an 80 in the final round, tying for the fifth lowest round of the day. Campeau is the second SMSU golfer to earn the award this season, joining Krista Weiszhaar who earned the award on April 3.
The Mustang Booster Club is gearing up for their 2013-14 membership drive which will be starting in mid-May. The top priority for the Mustang Booster Club is to raise athletic scholarship dollars for SMSU athletics. The membership drive is the fundraising event that generates the most revenue for the booster club each year. If you are interested in participating on one of our membership drive teams, please contact Tim Steinbach in the SMSU Department of Athletics at 537-7204.
Please mark your calendars as the Mustang Booster Club will host the David and Carol Drown SMSU Golf Classic being held June 14 at the Marshall Golf Club and June 15 at the Tyler Golf Club.
For more information on Mustang Athletics, please go to SMSUmustangs.com.
This Week in Mustang Athletics:
The SMSU baseball team (10-20-1, 5-10 NSIC) went 1-6 earlier this week playing Minnesota State-Mankato four games and the University of Sioux Falls twice in Sioux City, Iowa. The Mustangs have a bye this weekend and will resume NSIC play versus Concordia-St. Paul. The games were scheduled to be played on April 24 in St. Paul, but will now be played on April 25 in Minnetonka. The doubleheader will begin at 9 a.m. at Veterans Field on the campus of Minnetonka High School.
The SMSU softball team (14-16, 7-11 NSIC) also played six games earlier this week in Sioux City, going 3-3 over the three days; winning two versus Minnesota-Crookston, splitting with Bemidji State and dropping a pair to Augustana College. The Mustangs are on the road this weekend traveling to Winona State and Upper Iowa this Saturday and Sunday.
The SMSU tennis team (3-13, 2-10 NSIC) split last weekend's matches defeating Bemidji State 7-2, before dropping a 6-3 decision to Minnesota-Crookston. SMSU is set to close out the regular season on Saturday, hosting Minnesota-Morris at the Marshall High School courts.
The SMSU women's golf team will compete this Saturday and Sunday in the third and fourth rounds of the NSIC Championship at Paradise Pointe Golf Club (Posse Course) in Smithville, Mo. This weekend's two rounds were originally scheduled to be played at Dacotah Ridge Golf Club in Morton, but were forced to move due to unplayable conditions.
The first two rounds of the championship were played at The Classic at Madden's in Brainerd, on Oct. 6-7, 2012. SMSU currently sits in seventh place in the 13-team championship with a two-round score of 160-over-par 736. Augustana leads the championship with a 70-over 646 and holds a 50-shot lead over Minnesota State-Mankato.
Allie Ostrander from Augustana is the individual leader at 11-over 155. SMSU's Rachel Patnoe is currently in a tie for 23rd place with a 37-over 181, while Krista Weiszhaar is in a tie for 25th place with a 39-over 183. The third round begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday with a shotgun start, while Sunday's final round begins at 8 a.m. The Mustangs are coming off a fifth place finish at the 10-team Green and Gold Classic played in Missouri this past Sunday and Monday.
I would like to wish all of our teams the best of luck this weekend!
Go Mustangs!

Stocks Skid Amid Eurozone Uncertainties; S&P Falls 1.2%
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages slumped Monday, dragged down by political uncertainties in Europe and disappointing factory orders here at home.
Spain's opposition Socialist Party urged Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to step down over corruption allegations, which he has refuted. An external investigation on the matter is expected to begin in a few weeks. The Spanish prime minister and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were to meet in Berlin Monday ahead of the European Union leaders' summit in Brussels later this week.
In Italy, former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is experiencing mounting popularity, potentially interfering with reforms carried out by the incumbent technocrat government. Italy's general elections are scheduled to start in late February.
Amid the news, the yield on the Spanish 10-year bond soared to its highest level since December at 5.3%. The DAX in Frankfurt declined 2.5% and the FTSE in London fell 1.6%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 102 points, or 0.7%, to 13,908.
Breadth was overwhelmingly negative, with 29 of 30 components in the red. The biggest percentage blue-chip laggards were Travelers(TRV) , Merck(MRK) , Microsoft(MSFT) and Bank of America (BAC) .
Microsoft was down 1.4%. Negotiations on buying out Dell (DELL) continued over the weekend, with reports saying a deal could be achieved in a matter of days. CEO Michael Dell, private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners and Microsoft are reportedly the buyers. Dell shares were down more than 2.5%.
Chevron(CVX) also slumped.
Chevron was downgraded to "neutral" from "buy" at UBS on a valuation basis. Shares fell 1.1%.
The S&P 500 fell 17 points, or 1.2%, to 1,496. The Nasdaq slid 48 points, or 1.5%, to 3,131.
All sectors in the broad market were in the red. The heaviest decliners were energy, conglomerates, financials and technology.
Volumes were at 3.36 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.86 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Decliners were outnumbering advancers by a ratio of 3.6-to-1 on the Big Board and 3.3-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
The Dow broke 14,000 on Friday for first time since 2007 and logged the longest weekly winning streak since the six-week period ended Aug. 17.
"In our view, we believe stock prices can continue to rise, but we would encourage selectivity when investing," a BlackRock note said. "We continue to favor emerging markets (including China) and mega-cap U.S. stocks, which should benefit from the improvements in the global economy."
"Given the strong market internals, we believe both the Dow and the S&P 500 will retest its 2000/2007 in coming weeks," Piper Jaffray's technical research team said in a morning note. "Our intermediate-term market timing gauges remain in buy positions and our short-term gauges are close to being overbought," the team added.

Here's the lovely Kerry Washington, star of ABC's Scandal and films like Django Unchained, carrying a striking ecru Reed Krakoff Kit XL Clutch as she strolls around NYC. Kerry looks so polished in this pic - note how that oversized clutch really ups the ante of a business-casual day look. (Throw a tote on her instead, and that woven multi-color dress would look almost beachy.) This exact clutch is no longer available (single tear), but you can shop an extensive selection of Reed Krakoff clothing, bags, and shoes at Net-A-Porter.
Browsing through Reed Krakoff's unique and brightly colored top-handles and totes, I'm disappointed that we don't see them on celebs more often. Must it always be Chanel or Hermes? (The answer is apparently yes, at least 25-30% of the time.) We've gone out of our way to feature a more diverse selection of celebs AND designer bags in the past two weeks, but you tell us PB readers - which designers do you think are still sorely overlooked (and severely undershopped) by the celebrity community?

Come Check out Craig Damron's Unique Style Art at the Bedford Art GalleryPosted Monday, November 14, 2011, at 5:01 PM
A self-taught artist, Craig has been contracted for some pretty impressive projects, including local restaurant murals and business signs. He credits his experience as a handy man for the ease at which he is able to complete a "larger-than-life" building mural.
Craig's work will be on display all month long at the Bedford Art gallery/gift shop at the Fly, and he will be hosting a reception this evening (November 14th) from 7:00-8:00pm for those of you who would like a chance to meet and greet the artist in person.
The Bedford Art Gallery is open throughout the month from 11:00-4:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, during all special events at the Fly and on weekends and evenings by appointment. I hope to see you there, and don't forget to check out the beautiful trees on display for the Festival of trees this weekend, which will stay up through Christmas.

""[Bill Gates] has been historically one of my best supporters…One of my favorite e-mails he ever sent me…I proposed this crazy project. And he sent back this two-line response: 'This has got to be the craziest thing you've ever suggested. Please proceed.'" "
Stuart Woods
Until a few months ago, I had somehow overlooked Stuart Woods and his nearly four-dozen novels and two nonfiction books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times bestseller lists. But then while browsing in a library, I noticed the cover of Loitering with Intent and picked up the book. More recently, I found Woods' latest published novel, Strategic Moves, displayed alongside 24 of his earlier works in the mystery-and-thriller section of a Borders bookstore.
Within Loitering with Intent, Woods had scattered several realistic and accurate passages in which Stone Barrington, his NYPD detective-turned-lawyer protagonist, flies his own airplane. Woods had even included a tail number, N123TF. "This guy is either a pilot," I thought, "or he has done his research very, very well."
Google took me quickly to the author's Web site (www.stuartwoods.com) and a photo of N123TF, his Citation Mustang. The site also includes an autobiographical essay and what Woods calls a "Reader Interview." As he explains, "I get a lot of e-mail from readers, and many of them ask the same questions. Since I am very lazy, I thought it would be a lot easier to answer them in an interview instead of answering the same questions over and over again."
While Woods describes himself as "lazy," he writes three novels a year. (Number 46, Bel-Air Dead, should be in stores any day now.)
With homes in Maine, New York and Florida, and book tours that take him all over the country, he also spends lots of time traveling. Private aviation makes his busy schedule possible.
When did flying privately become a business tool for you?
Almost from the beginning. I began doing short-hop book appearances in my first airplane, which was a Cessna 182RG. I would go up to Charleston [S.C.] and Charlotte [N.C.], and later on I expanded that. As my airplanes got faster, I went farther afield.
You fly to book signings and promotional events and you can write anywhere you are. Does that make all your flying business flying?
More than 90 percent of it is, yes.
Have you ever used charter, a jet card or a fractional share?
No. It always seemed crazily expensive. But, of course, nothing is as crazily expensive as owning an airplane. If I ever get to where I can't fly, if I lose my medical or something, I think my first move would be to just hire a pilot and start downsizing. Then I might go down to a card.
You've progressed from single-engine piston to single-engine turboprop to twin-engine jet. How has this changed the way you fly?
It was an easy transition to the turboprop because I had a Piper Malibu and I went to a JetPROP, which is a Malibu with a turbine-engine conversion. I flew that for eight years, and that was the last airplane I had before I got the jet.
Why did you choose the Citation Mustang for your first jet?
I originally placed an order for the Piper jet. I liked the parameters. It's faster than the Mustang and has a slightly longer range, and it was a logical step up from the Malibu. But the company disappointed me after the program was put off for two years. At that point, I withdrew my deposit.
When I first looked at the Mustang, there was a three-year wait for it. Then when the recession came, suddenly there were Mustangs immediately available. Also, the bonus [tax] depreciation was extended, and those two things together made it possible for me.
When did you get the Mustang?
On Friday, April 17, 2009. I only had about 10 days' notice. I was astonished at how much paperwork was involved to get the whole thing together. I had to hire a law firm and start three corporations. We just barely got it done in time for the delivery.
I was starting a book tour on April 20, so I hired a pilot that Cessna had recommended, and he came with me. We picked up the airplane in Independence [Kansas] on Friday and flew to New York, where we overnighted. The next day we flew to Key West, then Atlanta, New Orleans and back to Key West. I think we flew about 12 hours that weekend. On Monday I started the book tour and we flew to my hometown in Manchester, Georgia, on to Atlanta and then coast to coast.
I got about 30 hours in the airplane before I went to FlightSafety for simulator training. That flight time really made me confident of the avionics, though it didn't help me much with the simulator.
You had problems with the Mustang simulator?
The simulator and I had to agree to disagree. It was the way the thing felt. I thought it was squirrely. But I went back, got my type rating and did recurrent training in the simulator there and I had no problems with it. I just found the simulator very "un-airplane-like" the first time.
How has the jet changed the way you fly?
Well, it's faster. My avionics are much more capable, although I had very good avionics in the JetPROP, too. The Mustang is much more comfortable, less tiring if there's turbulence or weather, and heavier and safer. I have about 225 hours in it now.
What "personal" weather minimums do you use when you fly?
I think that the greatest safety tool I have is my schedule. I can always go a day earlier or a day later. And I've flown a lot of approaches. It's never bothered me to fly an approach. I guess I've flown half a dozen approaches to minimums over the years. On a book tour, you want to keep to the schedule, if at all possible, but I'm not going to risk my life doing that. As long as you're paying attention and doing the right thing on that approach plate, then you're not going to bump into anything. I certainly don't want to fly in violent weather.
Do you fly with a copilot in the Mustang?
Until recently, I had a girlfriend who was a captain for US Airways and we flew together fairly often, sometimes with her in the copilot seat and sometimes with me. But I'm accustomed to flying alone. I suppose that more than 90 percent of my total hours are flying alone.
Are you looking at anything larger than the Mustang?
The next thing up would be at least a million dollars more or maybe $2 million, and you have to go up to $5 million to $10 million to get something of a superb performer. It would be wonderful to have a jet that has a 2,000-mile range and can go 400 or 450 knots, but those extra miles and knots come at a very high cost.
Do you still fly on the airlines?
The last time I flew the airlines was when an airplane was down, and I just had to fly home and then back to get it when it was fixed. That was seven or eight years ago. I fly the airlines overseas for the most part, though I have flown myself over the Atlantic, too.
What's your typical workday?
I go to work at 11 a.m. and finish at noon. I review my e-mail, I respond to readers, I read what
I did the day before and that sort of slingshots me into the next chapter. I make small corrections. When I finish the book, I don't even reread it. I just send it to my editor.
Do you think about writing while you're flying-when you have a long cross-country trip, for example?
Yes, I pretty much think about books all the time. Sometimes if I'm not sleeping well, I'll think about the plot. It isn't necessarily a conscious thing. But I work only an hour a day. I write a chapter a sitting. It used to take me four hours a day to do that, but over the years, I've become more confident and I can now do the work in an hour.
Which of your books is your favorite?
Chiefs. It was my first novel and it's still my favorite. It was not a big hit at first, but it did well in paperback and was made into a six-hour mini-series for CBS. Lots and lots of people saw the series, so that helped sales. [Chiefs, published in 1981, won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best First Novel from Mystery Writers of America.]
You were born in 1938. Did World War II or the Cold War influence your writing?
Yes, The Prince of Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills Dead were immediately pre-war, during the war and immediately post-war. I am fond of that era and have a lot of memories of it. I also took my first airplane ride in 1945 or '46, in a surplus airplane that a cousin of mine had bought.
When did you start including flying references in your books?
My first use was in the book White Cargo, while I was still in training. [Woods obtained his private license and instrument rating in 1986.] I got a lot of information about a guy who had been flying drug runs between Colombia and the United States. He had lost two engines at night in a DC-3 [which has only two engines] and had to put it down in a farmer's field. There was a sheriff waiting for him, so he did a couple of years in prison. But he had some hair-raising stories that I was able to adapt for the book.
Are you still writing at the top of your game?
Yes. I'm at the peak of my career in every way. It's really been remarkable at my age.
Any plans to retire?
No. I've always said that as long as I can think and move my fingers, I'll keep working.

Every week players from around NWA who would like to participate in a 1v1 match up against other players in the area are invited to come out to wild world on Saturdays between 10am- 2pm (or until everyone has played) for a little competition and a chance to be the champ of the competition.
Here is the format
*Matches will be a race to 4 points and every week each participant will only receive one match up.
*Players who would like a match-up can post and/or come out when the field opens on Saturdays
*Ashton Cave owner of wild world will determine the match ups depending on his best judgment of top contenders, player skill, or a different opponent than previously played.
*A championship belt will be awarded to the best of the best and each week he/she will have to defend his belt.
*The pbnation thread will be updated each week with participants win/ loss record this will help decide top contenders. (sry I just don't remember to get on this forum a lot.)
*If the champ fails to defend his title after 3 weeks the will automatically go to the top contender.
Remember there is really nothing to win or loose just bragging rights, and this is just for fun, everyone is welcome to participate.
Hopefully this is allowed in this section since it's not really a tournament I figured it would be okay.

I have just finished my first bottle of Bluebonnet Turmeric Root Extract and am feeling much better. I suffer from arthritis in most of my joints. The pain was getting worse and worse and I have been on diclofenac for years. A friend told me about this product and I decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it. About four weeks ago, I noticed that my joints weren't bothering me. They just quit hurting, expect when exercising hard. I believe it must be due to the turmeric, as I have done nothing else differently.

Helps with Joint Pain
Posted by Reviewer2127455 on Sep 16, 2010
I had used this product before when my diverticulitis flared up and I was able to get it under control with this and some other herbal products. I recently heard this was better for joint pain than glucosamine so I'm now taking it for that. All but one joint seems to have improved with turmeric.
Good Buy!!

By Joe Julian, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension agent, Natural Resources and Agriculture
Unlike the Black Widow Spider, the Brown Recluse is not common in the Front Range. In fact, it is extremely uncommon in Colorado. Usually, when we do have an actual specimen in Colorado, it is one that was transported from another state. There is no evidence that the brown recluse is permanently established in the Front Range or is spreading in the region. Unfortunately, when a person has a wound or lesion and the source is unknown, the brown recluse spider is incorrectly blamed. The best way to determine if you have a brown recluse is to capture the spider and have it brought to an entomologist or arachnologist (spider expert) for verification of identification.
