Between 2008 and 2012, institutions and individuals in North Carolina received $14.5million from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the North Carolina Humanities Council for projects that explore the human endeavor and preserve our cultural heritage.
Below are some examples.
- Scholars at the National Humanities Center outside Durham are using a $200,000 award to develop an online library of documents and artifacts called Making the Revolution: America 1763–1791 to help teachers and students address themes such as the formation of an American way of life and the consolidation of the Revolution.
- Just before the Civil War, there were 500,000 free blacks in the United States. Thomas Day, a successful furniture-maker and businessman in North Carolina, was one. Three grants totaling $532,000 enabled 240 schoolteachers to attend summer institutes focusing on Day and other African-American entrepreneurs of the antebellum era.
- Mars Hill College received a $500,000 challenge grant toward an endowment that would support a full-time director/archivist and programming for its Southern Appalachian Archives, which includes Cherokee artifacts, documents relating to local farm life from the 1920s to the 1950s, and a famed collection of mountain music recordings.
- The North Carolina Humanities Council arranged for New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music, a traveling Smithsonian exhibit overseen by North Carolina folklife scholar Beverly Patterson, to visit six locations throughout the state.
- For more than thirty years the North Carolina Humanities Council has sponsored weekend seminars at which K-12 schoolteachers can engage in graduate-level study.
- The Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte received $5,000 to help pay for a conservation assessment of its collection of American paintings, which includes works by George Bellows and Thomas Cole.
- Martha Jefferson Randolph, the daughter of Thomas Jefferson, married a future governor and raised sons who fought on both sides of the Civil War. Her biography is being researched and written by Cynthia Anne Kierner at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, thanks to a $50,400 research fellowship.
- The North Carolina Humanities Council made a $9,000 grant to the Center for Cultural Preservation in Hendersonville to support Connecting with the Elders, an oral history project on traditions of Southern Appalachia.
- A $70,000 grant helped bring together fifty K-12 teachers for a two-day scholarly conference at Appalachian State University in Boone on the perennial question, "What is American about American art?" The program enabled teachers to integrate art into core courses.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/6/2013 (1531 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Let's all agree on this: the Bombers' No. 1 QB -- that would be Pierce, for those of you who slept in -- is tired of questions about his durability. The press horde who covers this team is weary of writing/discussing/dissecting the issue over and over again. And, certainly, Bomber faithful have had it up to here debating it all.
But, fact is, as much as everyone loves the man, as much as he's dropped poundage to increase his elusiveness, and as much as Gary Crowton has adjusted the offensive scheme to protect the QB, bookies have made careers placing odds on things like this. How long can Pierce stay healthy? Place your wagers now.
And so it's here where Justin Goltz, Max Hall and Chase Clement have to be thrust into the conversation, just as Joey Elliott and Alex Brink were before them. Goltz is the 6-5 returnee some Bomber brass believe could be the CFL's Colin Kaepernick; Hall is the former Arizona Cardinals starter trying to revive his career and Clement is the ex-Rice star who spent time with Las Vegas in the UFL.
Today, everyone can start reaching their own conclusions after seeing these guys in action.
"I can't wait to get out here and see this place packed with people and play football again," said Hall, whose last game was a 2011 pre-season tilt against the Green Bay Packers. "Not having a chance to play in 2012 made me realize I love playing the game.
"I'm ready to play... it's doesn't mean I'm not going to make mistakes and forget a few things, but I'm excited about the opportunity. All I want to do is execute, move the ball and make good decisions.
"(In the CFL) you have to make an impression quickly and pick up on it quicker. That's why it's tough on guys to come up here and learn the game -- you have to do it so fast. But my experience in the NFL and in college prepared me for it and I think I'm right on track."
Worth noting here: Last year Elliott and Brink combined to throw for 13 TDs against 20 interceptions and even in 2011 when Pierce was healthy and helped guide the Bombers to the Grey Cup game, he had the seventh-best quarterback rating in an eight-team league.
Do the answers become crystal clear in a meaningless pre-season game? Of course not. But the cornerstones for foundation of hope can be established, even if it's just through a glimpse or two.
The Bombers did the "he's family" thing on Tuesday, wrapping their arms around Jonathan Hefney and declaring him part of the team after his marijuana possession charge became public Monday night. But there's no secret the secondary -- and maybe Hefney in particular -- has been in the crosshairs since last season.
Consider this: A CFL source said Tuesday the Bombers were shopping Hefney a year ago. Said head coach Tim Burke of the secondary: "We didn't perform well there last year and there's a lot of really talented rookies who are really starting to get it now. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out."
Training camp and pre-season is all about locking down a starter's gig or simply a spot on the roster. Outside of the QB and secondary battles, Burke singled out the following areas as open for the best candidate:
- The D-line, both at end and tackle;
- The O-line, where Burke said there were a couple of battles brewing, including Paul Swiston pushing Steve Morley;
- The receiving corps, especially with Terrence Edwards on the mend;
- The kick returner gig;
- Punter, where Mike Renaud is leading but rookies Billy Pavlopoulos and Brett Cameron are pushing. Renaud will likely punt in the first half, two others in the second half with the fourth candidate to kick next week in Guelph, Ont., against Hamilton.
That's an old football line Cal Murphy used to toss out to describe prospects who were dynamite in gear, but couldn't do diddly when the games began. The pre-season can make heroes of some... and expose others. Here's Burke:
"There's plenty of 'shorts' All-Americans and All-Canadians (guys who look good) that show up for camp and then they get into a game and look like a totally different player. Some guys are great athletes but won't hit anybody. Some guys can't handle the pressure of a game situation. Some guys look good because they know the receiver they're going against or the O-lineman they're going against. Then all of a sudden they come up against somebody new and don't look so hot. (Games) tell you a lot more than practice."
Moving into new digs doesn't happen too often in a football club's lifetime, especially with the Bombers. This franchise has called two buildings -- Osborne Stadium and Winnipeg/Canad Inns Stadium -- home for almost all of their existence. Yes, there will be complaints about the beer prices, the parking and yadda, yadda, yadda. But just remember how decrepit the ol' barn looked last year.
So soak it all up, football fans: the Bombers haven't had a day like this since Aug. 29, 1953, the club's home opener in Winnipeg Stadium some 60 years ago.

POLICE are on the scene of a crash involving two cars and a lorry on the A12.
Officers were called to the London-bound stretch of road at junction 26, near Eight Ash Green, around 11am today, Thursday July 10.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "Police closed lane one of the southbound carriageway at J26. Police are currently at the scene. There are no reports of injuries."

Willie Randolph said he's "not overly concerned with the team right now." He said they'll play better. He did not provide a date, but improvement was shown this afternoon.
<img src="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/files/2008/04/images.jpeg" align="right" height="132″ width="133″ />
John Maine gave them five, but left the game as a precaution after experiencing tightness in his forearm. The Mets scored four in the third and the bullpen gave up a run in four innings.
The offense awakens and the bullpen picks up Maine.
Willie Randolph on the offense breaking through in the four-run third: "It's been awhile since we strung together a bunch of hits like that. It was good to see them attack a really fine pitcher. We've been struggling a little bit."
John Maine on leaving the game after the fifth inning with tightness in his right forearm: "I could have gone out in the sixth and I wanted to, but it's still April and there's no reason to take a chance. I'm OK."
Carlos Beltran on how the team is playing: "We're a better team than how we've been playing. Things are going to change. Hopefully, soon."
1ST INNING: John Maine loses focus and it costs him a run. The offense goes down meekly. Atlanta 1, Mets 0
2ND INNING: Runners left on the corners. Three so far.
3RD INNING: There's nothing like a big inning to wake up the place. Carlos Beltran and Ryan Church have the big hits. Delgado drives in a run. Let's see if Maine can hold the lead. Mets 4, Atlanta 2
5th INNING: Maine gone after five.
9TH INNING: Billy Wagner remains lights out. Mets 4, Atlanta 3

Wheat struggles to move higher
Wheat markets spent much of the week in sideways, choppy price action before running into selling pressure on Friday. News of Egypt again buying Russian wheat deflated the little bullish momentum the market has been able to gather over the last few sessions.
With the bullish outlook for spring wheat and seasonal lows usually in place by now, one could argue that wheat should begin its normal rally into the fall. Corn prices remaining at lofty levels, despite recent weakness, will also be supportive to wheat. However, the pressure on world prices by Russia and Ukraine will likely keep a lid on any notable wheat rallies at least in the near term.
The hard red spring wheat tour last week showed a significant drop in yield for both spring wheat and durum. The average yield estimate for springs was 41.5 bushels/acre, down 4.6 from last year. The analysts noted that the crop was immature, which was not surprising. But they also reported some disease pressure in areas that have remained wet through the growing season. Durum yields were projected to be 31.8 bushels/acre, down 10 from last year.
While the trade is getting a better idea on yields, the acreage figure remains murky. Next Thursday's supply/demand report will reflect USDA's re-survey of Montana, North and South Dakota and Minnesota. However, many in the trade feel that even those numbers will still be inaccurate and it won't be until harvest that we have an accurate figure for planted acres.
Either way, it remains likely that spring wheat production will be much less than normal and Minneapolis futures should regain its strength against both Chicago and Kansas City. Those spreads have seen a setback over the last few weeks as Chicago rallied sharply on spread liquidation with corn and beans, and could present a good buying opportunity.
The debt ceiling negotiations in Washington are also having their impact on wheat. It's more of a wheat reaction to the dollar and other financial markets but it's still having an effect. There is little doubt that if the ceiling is not raised, the expected weakness in financials will pull grains lower as well.
The upward price action has been sporadic and lacking any real conviction. Corn has been the main reason wheat has found strength, as livestock producers continue to substitute wheat for corn across the south and southeast.
Technically, the momentum indicators are now above the oversold level and could easily give a strong divergence if prices re-test the recent lows. Judging from the difficulty wheat has had moving higher, it seems to me that the odds of taking another look at those lows are good, and would likely happen within the next couple of weeks.

A whole bunch of pics of Kendra doing it.
Vivid has released another wave of stills from Kendra Exposed, only this time with nipples and proof that Kendra's vagina is some sort of airbrushed lamprey. On that note, my favorite shot has to be one where she walks out of Vivid headquarters with a bag of cash and a script on how to pretend this "devastated" her marriage so now she needs to have another baby.
Wait? That's not in here? Must've left it in my other perv trench coat…
Thanks to Johan who, despite his foreign sounding name, is more American than all of you covered in apple pie.

My very single favorite Seinfeld phrase. That is, I love saying "Newman" when something upsets me. not everyone understand what i'm talking about, but when they do, they laugh. Most people will laugh at this shirt.
It's the retirement home where Jerry's Parent's live. I think this is one of the more subtle references to show. In my opinion, it makes it that much better.
One of the more popular Seinfeld episodes out there. Anytime you gets stressed out this shirt will remind you to calm down. It didn't exactly work on the show. But, you can give it your best shot.
A subtle reference to the Seinfeld episode where the gang tries to see who can go the longest without, well, pleasuring themselves.

Windows 8 Beats Windows 7, Sets New Sales Record
Jason Mick
November 28, 2012 12:29 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Windows 8 is the next Windows ME? The sales numbers suggest that accusation is malarkey
Windows 8 was an incredibly bold redesign on the part on Microsoft Corp. (
). The move to a more
graphically rich
operating system certainly seemed to mirror the general direction of the device market, but that did not shield Microsoft from loads of criticism. Many wondered whether it
went too far with the graphical gloss
, whether it was
disrespecting developers
with its shift to a walled-garden "Windows Store" app distribution model, and whether it was
forsaking traditional desktop power users
I. Windows 8 Upgrade Sales: Very Strong
But the proof is in the sales, and Microsoft announced today that for all the haters, Windows 8 appears to be doing great.
In its
first month of sales
Windows 8 has moved 40 million licenses, according to Microsoft. The company announced the news in
a blog post
and at a conference presentation. It also points out that buoyed by
reduced upgrade fees
, the Windows 8 upgrade rate is outpacing that of Windows 7, the
previous sales record-holder
our own polling
shows that the majority of users are upgrading to Windows 8, although there are certainly many holdouts bitter about the changes.
While some upgrades have been via disc, the new OS has largely been digitially distributed.
[Image Source: The Verge]
Windows 8 is the first Microsoft OS to transition to a
primarily online distribution
. That shift has not seemed to adversely impact sales. It appears Microsoft timed its transition to disc-less media correctly.
II. The Road Ahead
Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc also brags that
its Windows Store
is thriving, writing:
There were more apps in the Windows Store at launch than any other app store at their launch and since then, the number of apps in the Windows Store has doubled. A number of apps in the Windows Store have crossed the $25,000 revenue mark and the developer keeps 80% of the revenue they make off downloads for the life of their app. A lot of great new apps have been added to the Windows Store since launch such as CBS, ABC News, ABC Family, Engadget, Flixster, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), Vimeo and my (current) personal favorite - Top Gear.
A strong app market is good news for Microsoft. While it offers a more favorable revenue split than other players like Apple, Inc. (
) or Google Inc. (
) (with developers keeping 80 percent of the revenue), Microsoft still is closing the loop to include itself in Windows software sales profits.
In the past, Windows Certification processes offered up small cuts to Microsoft, but software publishers largely pocketed these profits. Now Microsoft has cut out the middle man by playing super-publisher with Windows 8, the same move Google and Apple have made with their mobile and personal computer platforms (although Google does allow unofficial third party channels).
Microsoft needed a bold reinvention in the mobile direction to keep up with market trends.
[Image Source: Bloomberg]
Looking ahead, Microsoft has a lot of unanswered questions -- most notably on the leadership front. Windows 8 was
the baby
departed Windows President Steven Sinofsky
. His shoes are currently being filled by former CFO and CMO Tami Reller on the business/marketing front and by Internet Explorer, Office and Windows interface veteran Julie Larson-Green on the software/hardware development front.
And the deep divisions between those who love Windows 8 and those who hate it, could hint that sales may dip to a slower pace than Windows 7 after the fans have completed their upgrades.
But, given the already modest success, and given the life-or-death need for Microsoft to have a cohesive, touch-friendly mobile platform, it appears overall Microsoft made the right choice. Windows 8 isn't perfect, certainly and as they say, haters are going to hate. And that is certainly true of Windows 8. But it's better to be hated for innovation than panned for lack thereof.
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

Classroom Lessons
Classroom Lessons
(60-90 minutes depending on lesson and age group)
Environmental Storytelling
Grades K - 3
Educators use a Japanese storytelling box to tell students an illustrated story about water. After the story, students draw pictures about what they learned and present their artwork to the class. Choose from four stories: Why Crawdad Has Eyes on Stalks (trees/plant identification, floods), Itsy Bitsy Spider and the Macroinvertebrate Café (watersheds, stormwater pollution, water quality indicators), Medio Pollito (water quality, stewardship), and the Land of Bog(function/value of wetlands).
Riparian Habitats
Grades 1-3
Learn about the five elements of a habitat that all animals need to survive: food, water, shelter, space, and oxygen. Play a Habitat Bingo game to learn about Pacific Northwest animals that live in and near rivers and streams. Explore pelts and skulls of local animals. A great introduction before a watershed investigation field trip.
Water Cycle
Grades 2-5
Follow the path of a water molecule in Project Wet's Incredible Journey lesson. Students track their journey and create a visual map with pipe cleaners and beads. An optional writing extension is available.
Watershed Awareness
Grades 2-5
A watershed is an area of land that drains into a specific body of water, like a stream, river or slough. Analyze current and historical maps to identify changes in local watersheds. Using an EnviroScape® watershed model, demonstrate stormwater pollution impacts and brainstorm better pollution solution practices.
Riparian Plants
Grades 3 - 9
A riparian zone is the land next to a water body. Learn the value of native plants in enhancing water quality and wildlife habitat, and the negative effects of invasive plants in a riparian zone. Learn basic botany terminology and gain beginning plant identification skills. Recommended for groups doing restoration or school naturescape projects.
Water Chemistry Lab
Grades 4 - 12
Practice using the scientific method while measuring the health of a water body. Students observe, create hypotheses and interpret data as they measure water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity. Recommended as a precursor to a watershed investigation field trip.
Aquatic Macroinvertebrates (Water Bugs)
Grades 4 – 12*
Macroinvertebrates (water bugs) are excellent indicators of water quality. Explore life cycles, adaptations, and pollution tolerances of water bugs. Using images, field guides and preserved specimens, learn identification skills and create scientific drawings. * Talk to a Clean Rivers Educator about adapting this lesson for 1st/2nd grade water insect study.
Salmon Survival
Grades 2 - 8
Learn aboutPortland's threatened coho, steelhead and Chinook salmon. Explore salmon life cycles with preserved specimens and learn salmon-specific vocabulary. An interactive board game packed with science content helps students explore the journey of salmon and threats to their survival.
After the Flush - The Wastewater Story
Grades 4 - 8
After the flush, it doesn't just go away. Create simulated wastewater and then clean it up following steps taken atPortland's Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant. Gain an appreciation for the city's sewer infrastructure that helps protect public health, water quality, and the environment. Students learn how they can help at home, like preventing fats, oils and grease from clogging sewer pipes. A follow-up field trip to the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant is recommended for grades 5 and up.
It's an Overflow!
Grades 5 - 12 Time: 1 hour
Are combined sewers still overflowing into the Willamette River? Discover the sewer history of Portland and experience a combined sewer overflow (CSO) in the classroom. Learn about the City of Portland's 20-year program to control combined sewer overflows and the CSO project that was the largest capital project in Portland's history. Learn what the city will do in the future to protect rivers and streams.
Soak It Up- Sustainable Stormwater Solutions
Grades 5 - college
Stormwater runoff from streets, sidewalks and roofs can carry pollution to streams and rivers. Working with aerial maps of a model neighborhood, teams of students calculate area, percentage of pervious and impervious cover, and determine runoff. Students then redesign their neighborhoods with sustainable stormwater facilities such as bioswales, ecoroofs, green streets and stormwater planters. This lesson integrates math and science topics.
My Sediments Exactly: The Portland Harbor Superfund Program
Grades 6 - 12
What is sediment and how does it become contaminated? Identify different sediment types, explore the properties of pollutants in a river system, and analyze cleanup strategies for contaminated sediments. Discuss historic and current land uses along the Willamette River and Portland Harbor and how organizations might approach a long-term cleanup.
Movin' On Up: Biomagnification and Bioaccumulation
Grades 5 - 12
Explore the hydrophobic properties of some pollutants in a river system. Discover how pollutants can build up in the fatty tissues of organisms, how pollutants move through a food chain/food web, and how we can reduce health risks from these pollutants. Students calculate percentages and averages as they track pollution through a river food chain.

In the most challenging of times with the economy, a home building company can succeed if one has the vision, the money, the people and the land — much like home building veteran Carl Mulac did.
Carl Mulac, the executive vice president of Avatar Holdings and President of Avatar Properties, was named Chairman of the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona. Mulac, very familiar with the leadership role, had served as Chairman in 2008 and Treasurer of the Association this past year.
"Home builders are ramping up as market conditions continue to improve and we are all very optimistic that 2012 will bring renewed interest in buying new homes. People are tired of waiting on the side lines and it is abundantly apparent that the market is on an upswing. I'm excited to help lead the residential construction industry during this dynamic time," said Mulac.
In 2008, Mulac started Joseph Carl Homes in the Phoenix metro area, which built both active adult and traditional neighborhoods. With his experience of working with three major national home builders, Mulac managed to create a start-up company in the hostile real estate market that attracted attention from Avatar, a company with nearly five decades of experience in home building, land development, and other real estate operations. Avatar is traded on NASDAQ (AVTR) and has properties in central Florida and the Phoenix metro area. Its principal operations are based at its 55+ active adult community Solivita, and through its Joseph Carl Homes operation, in Central Florida near Orlando; and at its 55+ active adult community CantaMia and through its Joseph Carl Homes operations in the Phoenix metro area, which include the Preserve at Palm Valley, Sereno at Palm Valley, Blossom Hills and Arboleda Ranch, both in Phoenix. The two companies combined business operations in 2010 with Mulac in control of the operation.
"We are fortunate to have Carl return to the leadership helm of the Association for another year. It is critical that we continue to have proven leadership to help us meet the challenges of job creation and regulatory reform necessary for a housing recovery," said Connie Wilhelm, President of the Board and Executive Director of the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.
The Home Builders Association of Central Arizona (HBACA) is a trade association for the residential construction and development industry. The HBACA provides a forum through which these businesses can interact with each other to stay informed concerning new and proposed policies advanced by the local, state and federal governments which affect the housing industry. The Association works to foster a proactive, pro-growth business environment for the local building industry, eliminating overly restrictive and costly building laws and regulations that increase the cost of housing.
Carl Mulac is now a member of the Avatar Senior Leadership Team and will be involved in designing and developing lifestyle communities around the country.

TPWD Assessing Eastern Turkey, Considering Hunting Closure in 15 Counties
AUSTIN – Since 1995 when Texas' first spring eastern turkey hunting season was opened in Red River County, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has maintained a conservative approach — a 30-day season, mandatory check stations, one gobbler bag limit — to give the birds ample opportunity to establish themselves in new haunts. As turkey numbers have increased and flocks expand into new areas, the agency has steadily increased hunting opportunity by opening a spring season in 43 East Texas counties.
In some areas, field observations indicate turkey populations continue to thrive and harvest data collected through mandatory check stations confirm ample hunting opportunity. But, in some counties, the telltale "gobble, gobble, gobble" of a big tom courting hens has gone silent and that has wildlife biologists concerned.
"We use the data collected from mandatory check stations as a trigger point in identifying areas of concern and in some of these counties, like Smith County, we haven't had any harvest in 12 years," said Jason Hardin, TPWD's turkey program leader. "That tells us there are very few birds out there and we need to protect them, and where possible, go back into those counties and use our new super stocking program."
Unlike earlier block stocking efforts to reintroduce turkeys into an area that relied on a few gobblers and hens to establish viable flocks of turkeys, the process for reintroduction has been refined through research to determine appropriate numbers and ratios of birds needed.
By closing hunting seasons we create an opportunity to stock birds, where habitat is available, and reduce the potential for loss of brood stock before the population is capable of sustaining harvest.
"Just because there has been low harvest in some counties doesn't necessarily mean those areas don't have any birds," said Hardin. "When we went out to our field biologists and landowners in some areas, they indicated there were still plenty of turkeys out there but they were protecting them and not hunting them. They said they didn't want us to take away that opportunity for harvest and we agreed."
In 15 East Texas counties, not only were birds not being harvested, they weren't being seen, either. Counties being considered for hunting season closure and further restocking consideration include: Cherokee, Delta, Gregg, Hardin, Houston, Hunt, Liberty, Montgomery, Rains, Rusk, San Jacinto, Shelby, Smith, Tyler and Walker.
"When populations in those counties can sustain hunting, we will reopen," Hardin added. "But, we were seeing more harvest 10 years ago in these counties and most have not had one turkey harvested in he last five seasons or longer."
TPWD is also considering a regulation change that would delay the spring Eastern turkey season in the remaining counties by two weeks. The delay, said Hardin, would give hens time to begin nesting prior to the season opening. "Once hens begin nesting they typically spend up to 23 hours a day on their nest. This makes them less available for accidental harvest. It also makes the gobblers go into a second peak in gobbling activity, which should provide excellent hunting."
To give the public an opportunity to weigh in on these considerations prior to any official proposed regulation change in 2012, TPWD is holding scoping meetings during the first week in January. Wildlife biologists will present turkey population trend and harvest findings from these counties and offer insight into the super stocking program. The meetings are set for 7 p.m. at the following locations:
Scoping Meetings
- Jan. 4, 2011 – Center, Shelby County Courthouse, 200 San Augustine St., community room, 2nd floor.

Lately the weather here in Texas has been wonderful. perfect for sitting outside. Doesn't last long before the heat invades, so we've been taken advantage of it. Not sure when Lone Star came out with a Bock, but its my new favorite beer. Different than Shiner, easier to drink.
The other night it was some bone in chicken breasts, more of the venison jalapeno cheese sausage, four cheese stuffed mushrooms and a salad. Trying to be healthier. Doc says I got to eat better. The chicken was so-so (I'm not a fan of chicken breasts really) but the mushrooms were amazing.
The mushrooms were so good, we did them the next night as well.
Mushrooms were stuffed with rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, light ricotta cheese, spinach, Monterrey Jack cheese, fresh grated Parm, basil and garlic all mixed together and then topped with low fat Feta cheese. So good. Thinking about making them again tonight or tomorrow.

|Rose Weasley
|Biographical information
c. 2006
|Blood status
|Also known as
|Physical information
|Hair colour
|Eye colour
|Family information
|Family members
- "If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you. But no pressure."
- —Ron Weasley jokingly warning Rose about house choices[src]
Rose "Rosie" Weasley (born c. 2006) was a half-blood witch and the daughter of Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. She had a younger brother named Hugo who was born about two years after her. She began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2017, the same time as Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, and, being a Weasley, may have been Sorted into Gryffindor.
As Rose prepared to go off to her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her cousin Albus Potter in 2017, her father encouraged her to be sorted into the same house as himself and her mother, Gryffindor. He also jokingly told her to beat Draco Malfoy's son, Scorpius, in every test, though Hermione expressed a more tolerant attitude. Ron also warned Rose not to get too friendly with Scorpius, quipping that her grandfather, Arthur Weasley, would never forgive her for marrying a pure-blood.
Rose seems to have a strong relationship with her father, Ron Weasley, as they were joking about the Hogwarts sorting. Rose is also thought to be close to her mother, Hermione Granger, as they have many of the same qualities, such as intelligence. She's also close to her cousin Albus as she beamed at him. Rose is assumed to have a good relationship with her brother and cousins
Personality and traits
Rose is said to have inherited her mother's intelligence.[1] It is also noted that she put on her robes before needed, like her mother did at her age. If her father's encouragement to beat Scorpius Malfoy academically[1] has any effect, she may also turn out to be rather competitive and academically brilliant like her mother. She seems to be quite close to her cousin Albus, Harry and Ginny's son, who is about the same age and who shared her anxiety about where he would be sorted at school. When she arrived at King's Cross Station to head off for their first year, Albus was "immensely relieved" to see her, and Rose beamed at him[1].
Rose is probably named for the flower, which is widely prized for its beauty and fragrance. Roses are often considered symbols of love and have historically been associated with goddesses, such as Isis and Aphrodite, perhaps symbolising her parents' relationship with each other. The rose is also the national flower of England. Red roses are particularly associated with romance, and could allude to the trademark Weasley red hair.
It is also possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same initials as their parents, R and H. Ron and Hermione may also have been trying to honour Harry's mother without taking her actual name, as "Lily" was also named after a flower.
Behind the scenes
- Rose is played by actress Helena Barlow in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.[2] [3]
- Rose and classmate Scorpius Malfoy are fourth cousins, once removed, as both are descendants of Phineas Nigellus Black.[4]
- Rose's origins are like her uncle's. A pure-blood father, Ron, like James Potter, and a muggle-born mother, Hermione like Lily Evans.
- Both of Rose's parents are featured on a Chocolate Frog Card.
- It is possible that Rose is named after her maternal grandmother or another maternal family member.
- Her name also continues J.K Rowling's tradition of naming characters after flowers (e.g., Lily and Petunia, Narcissa and Fleur, Lavender and Pansy).
- One of the last shots in the final scene of the film, where a chocolate frog leaps into Rose Weasley's hand, shows that she has a fondness of food like her father.

2014 Grammy® Nominee for Best Regional Roots Music Album
Raised on homestead land in Waimanalo, Lolena 'Lena' Naipo, Jr. goes back to his roots with his band Kahulanui in their first release, Hula Ku'i. Kahulanui is an inspiration passed down from his grandfather Robert Kahulanui. Lolena remembers stories of his grandfather who was a member of the Royal Hawaiian Band during an era when horns and drums were a part of Hawaiian music. It was from these beginnings that he draws from for Hula Ku'i. "Throughout Hawai'i in the 20s and 30s, one could find orchestras playing Hawaiian Swing and the house would be jumping. Kahulanui borrowed from these influences and performed classic Hawaiian songs in a syncopated style making Hawaiian Swing vibrant and alive in Hawai'i today. With musical influences from Uncle Alvin Kaleolani Isaac, Ray Kinney, Sam Koki, Lani McIntryre and even Spike Jones, I am excited for you to hear Kahulanui with the Kahulanui horn section. It's Hawaiian Swing at its finest and with today's technology and the magic of GRAMMY® award-winning engineer/producer Charles Michael Brotman, you have one of the most innovative releases to come out of the islands. You won't be sitting for long once you hear Kahulanui's Hula Ku'i… 'ami aku, 'ami mai, 'ami 'ami malie…" – Skylark Rossetti

Mike Puma over at the New York Post reports that Jason Bay will have a job on Opening Day 2013, despite his absolutely horrific 2012.
Let's have a little perspective on this, even though if you've been watching Bay all year, hearing that probably depresses you.
First: this is not likely to be a contending team in 2013. Second: this is not a team with money to spend this winter. Third: there's no one who ought to be getting Jason Bay's at-bats, development-wise.
With all of this in mind, it is understandable that the Mets would take the non-zero chance (don't believe me that it's non-zero? Here, look at Oliver Perez's 2012) that Jason Bay regains his hitting stroke in 2013. They need someone to play left field. And they can't go out and get another left fielder, especially since they'll need a right fielder, center fielder, and to fill other areas as well.
Now, perhaps they can acquire a left fielder via trade this offseason. Maybe they'll get a left fielder for Hannukah. At that point, they can simply release Bay. There's certainly no hurry to do so. Maybe Sandy Alderson finds a trade partner on Bay, though that feels awfully unrealistic. After all, a team dealing for Bay would probably want to either deal a similar contract with a player struggling as poorly as Bay, or a more expensive contract for someone playing better than Bay. The former is essentially impossible, given how bad Bay has been in 2012, and the latter is essentially impossible, since the Mets can't add salary this offseason. Hard to see it happening.
This could also be public posturing ahead of seeking out a trade. And if it is, good for the Mets. It makes a lot more sense than having your pitching coach insist publicly that Jenrry Mejia is a reliever, or that Ike Davis is a no-good carouser. That doesn't exactly enhance trade value of your own roster's players.
So don't be in such a hurry to cut Jason Bay. In an organization with basic resources or the ability to compete, it already would have happened. But that's not where the Mets are, and so getting rid of Bay doesn't solve much other than getting rid of Bay.

NIST to Review Standards After Cryptographers Cry Foul Over NSA Meddling
The federal institute that sets national standards for data encryption has announced it is reviewing all of its previous recommendations.
The federal institute that sets national standards for how government, private citizens and business guard the privacy of their files and communications is reviewing all of its previous recommendations.
The move comes after ProPublica, The Guardian and The New York Times disclosed that the National Security Agency had worked to secretly weaken standards to make it easier for the government to eavesdrop.
The review, announced late Friday afternoon by the National Institute for Standards and Technology, will also include an assessment of how the institute creates encryption standards.
The institute sets national standards for everything from laboratory safety to high-precision timekeeping. NIST's cryptographic standards are used by software developers around the world to protect confidential data. They are crucial ingredients for privacy on the Internet, and are designed to keep Internet users safe from being eavesdropped on when they make purchases online, pay bills or visit secure websites.
But as the investigation by ProPublica, The Guardian and The New York Times in September revealed, the National Security Agency spends $250 million a year on a project called "SIGINT Enabling" to secretly undermine encryption. One of the key goals, documents said, was to use the agency's influence to weaken the encryption standards that NIST and other standards bodies publish.
"Trust is crucial to the adoption of strong cryptographic algorithms," the institute said in a statement on their website. "We will be reviewing our existing body of cryptographic work, looking at both our documented process and the specific procedures used to develop each of these standards and guidelines."
The NSA is no stranger to NIST's standards-development process. Under current law, the institute is required to consult with the NSA when drafting standards. NIST also relies on the NSA for help with public standards because the institute doesn't have as many cryptographers as the agency, which is reported to be the largest employer of mathematicians in the country.
"Unlike NSA, NIST doesn't have a huge cryptography staff," said Thomas Ptacek, the founder of Matasano Security, "NIST is not the direct author of many of most of its important standards."
Matthew Scholl, the deputy chief at the Computer Security Division of the institute, echoed that statement, "As NIST Director Pat Gallagher has said in several public settings, NIST is designed to collaborate and the NSA has some of the world's best minds in cryptography." He continued, "We also have parallel missions to protect federal IT systems, so we will continue to work with the NSA."
Some of these standards are products of public competitions among academic cryptography researchers, while others are the result of NSA recommendations. An important standard, known as SHA2, was designed by the NSA and is still trusted by independent cryptographers and software developers worldwide.
NIST withdrew one cryptographic standard, called Dual EC DRGB, after documents provided to news organizations by the former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden raised the possibility that the standard had been covertly weakened by the NSA.
Soon after, a leading cryptography company, RSA, told software writers to stop using the algorithm in a product it sells. The company promised to remove the algorithm in future releases.
Many cryptographers have expressed doubt about NIST standards since the initial revelations were published. One popular encryption library changed its webpage to boast that it did not include NIST-standard cryptography. Silent Circle, a company that makes encryption apps for smartphones, promised to replace the encryption routines in its products with algorithms not published by NIST.
If the NIST review prompts significant changes to existing encryption standards, consumers will not see the benefit immediately. "If the recommendations change, lots of code will need to change," said Tanja Lange, a cryptographer at the University of Technology at Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. "I think that implementers will embrace such a new challenge, but I can also imagine that vendors will be reluctant to invest the extra time."
In Friday's announcement, NIST pointed to its long history of creating standards, including the role it had in creating the first national encryption standard in the 1970s — the Data Encryption Standard, known as DES. "NIST has a proud history in open cryptographic standards, beginning in the 1970s with the Data Encryption Standard," the bulletin said. But even that early standard was influenced by the NSA.
During the development of DES, the agency insisted that the algorithm use weaker keys than originally intended — keys more susceptible to being broken by super computers. At the time, Whitfield Diffie, a digital cryptography pioneer, raised serious concerns about the keys. "The standard will have to be replaced in as few as five years," he wrote.
The weakened keys in the standard were not changed. DES was formally withdrawn by the institute in 2005.
The announcement is the latest effort by NIST to restore the confidence of cryptographers. A representative from NIST announced in a public mailing list, also on Friday, that the institute would restore the original version of a new encryption standard, known as SHA3, that had won a recent design competition but altered by the institute after the competition ended. Cryptographers charged that NIST's changes to the algorithm had weakened it.
The SHA3 announcement referred directly to cryptographers' concerns. "We were and are comfortable with that version on technical grounds, but the feedback we've gotten indicates that a lot of the crypto community is not comfortable with it," wrote John Kelsey, NIST's representative. There is no evidence the NSA was involved in the decision to change the algorithm.
The reversal took Matthew Green, a cryptographer at Johns Hopkins University, by surprise. "NIST backed down! I'm not sure they would have done that a year ago," he said.
Update: A NIST spokesperson responded on Monday afternoon (this story initially stated that NIST declined to comment).

This is total anecdotal hearsay, so weigh as you will, but it is fairly commonly tossed about in the DC area among folks involved in some way in this kind of scene that NIST is at least in some part a front for the NSA; specifically, that NIST is often a cover employer for the NSA and other security state agencies.
If it is secure, it will not be allowed.
Its ironic that the same conservatives who worked to strengthen the NSA and to empower them to violate the privacy of average Americans will now make the case that the government they weakened can't be trusted. All part of making it small enough to strangle in the bathtub. Freedom is drowning in rising tide of fear in the post 9-11 security state we call America. Time to reign in the snoops. .
"time to rei(g)n in the snoops.."? Really? How many deaths here on the US soil are tolerable so those who believe they have absolute privacy with their electronic communications? 3,000 per year? How much money?
The NYTs estimated 9/11 cost more than $3.3 Trillion and counting. Can we afford many more of those? And why let the terrorists of China in the ongoing cyberwar, win by failing to compete?
Most of the critics would be the first to complain the government hadn't done enough, when the next terrorist attack hits our Homeland as it assuredly will.
Absolutely fascinating! And chilling! We all know when abuse is possible, abuse happens. Hope we get a heads up so all of us who've fully embraced the digital age can revert back to a more secure analogue financial existence - preferably before NSA-trained cyber criminals wipe out our bank accounts and send our life savings to untraceable offshore accounts.
On the plus side, the US post office will be regaining a lot more of their lost business, right? Gotta get me some more "forever" stamps pretty soon.
SeattleGuy, you are psychologically projecting.
Not everyone feels as you claim to, that it's worth having an agency with no oversight and no rules spy on everyone just to protect us from occasional terrorist threats. And no, when another terror attack happens, we will certainly not complain that the NSA didn't spy on everyone enough and didn't weaken our software security enough.
If you care so much about people's deaths, that large NSA budget would be far better spent doing something more constructive, like dealing with the tens of thousands of automobile and tobacco and gun deaths every year. You're far more likely to die from a car crash than a terror attack.
The terror threat is a transparent excuse for the US government to spy on its citizens, whom it sees as adversaries.
@SeattleGuy - Freedom is dangerous, but trading it for security is folly and (hopefully) downright unamerican. A better anti-terrorist campaign might be to win hearts and minds by playing a constructive role in the world, rather than sponsoring dictators and pushing the rest of the world around. Of course that would not be in the interests of our transnational capitalist elite, so it won't happen, and support for the security state and the military-industrial complex will continue to be actively supported in the media and by brainwashed members of the public. More and more, I see politicians and pundits tell us that black is white, that up is down, and that right is wrong, which increasingly suggests to me that this house of cards will collapse sooner rather than later.
@not- Where did I say I supported an "agency with no oversight?" That's absolutely false. The NSA surveillance are probably the most regulated programs we have and they have been approved and reauthorized more than 30 times by politicians of both parties, president of both parties and several times by the SCOTUS.
Nothing could be more constructive than using modern data mining with supercomputers to identify new threats and stop them. Nothing. If there was, they'd do it. If you doubt this, please give me what you offer. I am absolutely certain of this as I was associated with the development of these technologies almost 20 years ago.
Your fears are unwarranted and illogical. The NSA accomplishes their first cut with nothing but numbers. No names or addresses or places. None! That's remarkably clean. Those that continue to use words like "listen" or "read" or "spy" are willfully ignorant of the facts. They are not reading the targeting and minimization procedures. If they did, they would see how foolish they look to anyone paying attention.
The threat of terror is real and until something better comes along, we will continue to use all means to stop it. Turning the other cheek would be the quickest way to meet your maker.
@jimbo- There is no tradeoff. That is the beauty of the NSA's programs. They do not need to compromise our freedom nor personal liberties to identify the bad guys. They do this with a traffic analysis with publicly-available numbers only. Now, I think that is worth continuing.
I'm all for winning hearts and minds, but just look at how effective right-wing propaganda is here and around the World. AQ sympathizers would have you believe that there are a lot of innocents killed in our drone strikes. Don't believe them. They're just trying to stop these very limited strikes because they are perfect for the asymmetric warfare we are now involved in in the tribal regions of Pakistan.
The same is true with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. In the eyes of most of the World, Israel is the bad guy. They have been hoodwinked into missing the constant barrage of activities that on occasion, spur Israel to respond in a measured way. We all know that Israel could reduce their adversaries to dust in a few days if they wished, but you don't seem to hear that in the false equivalence of the media.
I do not think we are pushing the other nations of the World around now. That should never have been our goal and, thankfully, we've set aside the Bush Doctrine. (I'm not sure if Palin got the memo, though.)We have moved in the direction of less adventurism as it was described under the old USSR.
I am fully behind reversing the Neocon policies that were unleashed under Bush/Cheney, but that will take time. We can't just pull out of Iraq in a week. We just need to use our heads to do a better job of choosing real threats as Obama did when he chose to work with Russia to remove chemical weapons from the Syrian battlefield. That was a nice outcome, wasn't it?
@SeattleGuy The cat is out of the bag now and no one is going to be convinced that spying on Angela Merkel is preventing terrorism. No, the work of the NSA is not performed with adequate oversite. Some NSA employees were caught spying on their girlfriends for heavens sake. What about corporate espionage? Why was the NSA and Canada spying on foreign energy ministries? I can't believe this is the only case of corp. Espionage they engage in, and this kind of use of our public funds is beyond disturbing.
And your defense of drone strikes on innocents (that is doesn't happen) needs no comment.
@chris- No one said spying on Merkel had anything to do with terrorism. Where did you get that from? As Hayden said over the weekend, the agency has always be chartered with garnering information about our allies thoughts for strategic purposes. He said they do likewise and laughed at their faux surprise.
Snowden and others have misused their access to information and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I agree, but just because people break the law doesn't mean the programs are not doing what they were intended to do. An IRS employee actually has your personal information or didn't you know that?
RE: corporate espionage; what about China's espionage? Shiite happens.
As I have posted here and elsewhere, the billions we spend disrupting new terrorist threats is chump change compared to what we would spend cleaning up the mess afterwards. $3.3 Trillion and counting for 9/11. How many lives are you willing to lose to satisfy your desire to have absolute privacy of your public information?
There are very few innocents killed in our drone strikes. We would kill far more with boots on the ground. Drones actually save lives. The reason there is so much noise coming from those we attack is they realize how effective these strikes are. Besides, if you are sleeping in the same room with known AQ terrorists, you are not innocent. Sorry.
@chris- RE: Corporate espionage:"Snowden couldn't have played better into China's strategy for protecting its cyber activities if he had been doing it on purpose,'' one American intelligence official says."
Are we really so certain Snowden was just an ideological misfit or might he have actually been working for the Chinese government? Time will tell.
@SeattleGuy, After reading your comments, I think that you are the problem. We live in a nation of sheep.
But you did support the NSA breaking the Japanese code during WWII, right? Why the big change, rick? Isn't our nation's sovereignty worth protecting or should we just turn the other cheek and let AQ set up shop in your town?
Who is the sheep now?
"NIST's cryptographic standards are used by software developers around the world to protect confidential data. They are crucial ingredients for privacy on the Internet, and are designed to keep Internet users safe from being eavesdropped on when they make purchases online, pay bills or visit secure websites"
Crucial ingredients for the illusion of privacy. Because in a (globalized) post 9-11 world protecting sovereignty and freedom of speech (you know standing for what the terrorists do not) means that if you don't have millions to turn into dark money and buy your privacy as well as influence what speech is heard and what is not, you could be helping Al Qaeda set up shop in America
NIST simply has no credibility IMO after their connections to the 911 event . Their opinion is worthless to those in the know.

App Store is far too generic of a name to be trademarked. Something like "iApp Store" or using the currently trademarked name "Apple Store" currently in use for retail items could suffice for Apple. As much as I enjoy their technology, wanting to own names of things that encompass more than the Apple branding is just rediculous.
It's official, Apple's gone sue happy. Isn't this kinda ridiculous? I mean you shouldn't be able to trademark something that vague... App Store is the equivalent of me trademarking Shoe Store and Burger Joint. If it was like iOS App Store or Mac App Store that's fine, but App Store is pushing it...
Hopefully more people stop buying their products because of how they continue to act. I hope their earnings continue to fumble after this quarter's result. I'm sure they won't, but I can hope. Someone needs to put them in their place for this bs.
How dare Amazon use a made up abbreviation of the word "application" that existed before Apple began using the term.
Soon they'll go after Granny Smith or Pink Lady.
There just trying to get as much as they can get that they can try and limit there future competitors. I understand. I mean if they got it. No one can use app store. They can't use Market store thing for android. They'd have to call it something else. And app store just sounds a little more professional which in hope brings customers in.
Don't be surprised if apple sues everyone on this comment board for misusing the word appstore in a sentence.
Technically Apple is with in their own right to defend the AppStore name since as far as I know they were the first to use the name so they therefore own that name and have the right to sue anyone who misuses it. How is this any different to the Saurik vs cydia.com law suit where Jay has (or is in the process of) going to court to sue the owners of cydia.com because Jay feels they are misusing the Cydia trademark...
Apple already sued Amazon over the App Store name last year and lost so why are they doing it again now?
They already lost. I'm guessing they have enough money to waste so they will waste it on another losing lawsuit.
SEE APPLE FANBOYS, THIS is what happens when you give Apple money and buy their products.
Why do people think Apple made the word App? Lol so stupid. Apple thinks they can start owning words they didn't make up now... It will never end but the problem is judges will allow it just cuz they are as ignorant.
Let's understand it has nothing to do with "App" it's "AppStore"

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Ohios governor wants to use the states toll road that links the East Coast with the Midwest to raise up to $3 billion for road projects, closing a gaping hole in the states highway budget.
The proposal means the Ohio Turnpike wont be sold or leased to a private operator an option that drew complaints about the possibility of higher tolls and job losses for those who work on the toll road that cuts across northern Ohio.
It also means many delayed highway projects will be built sooner than expected, said Republican Gov. John Kasich.
The proposal centers on raising $1.5 billion through bond sales backed by future toll revenues. Up to an additional $1.5 billion could be generated by matching local and federal funds.
Were unlocking the value of this important asset, Kasich said.
Kasich says the plan will be accomplished without job losses and means there wont be large toll increases or less maintenance on the turnpike toll increases will be capped for trucks and frozen over the next 10 years on short trips paid for with an EZ Pass.
The governor said he rejected the idea of leasing the toll road because the state would have lost control over the roadway.
The Ohio Turnpike Commission renamed the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission will remain a public entity.
Transportation Director Jerry Wray said the plan will erase a $1.6 billion highway budget deficit and speed up construction on delayed construction. We are going to move 20 years of projects into six years, he said.
The pair plans to make additional stops in Cleveland, Youngstown, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati to tout the plan over the next two days.
Nearly all of the money bond sales will go to northern Ohio highway projects, including the turnpike. Diverting toll revenue off the roadway will require lawmaker approval.
Democrats said Kasichs proposal raids the turnpike.
This plan auctions off the revenue of the turnpike for one-time money, in an effort by John Kasich to get a pot of money for political patronage to sprinkle around the state, said state Rep. John Patrick Carney, a Columbus Democrat.
The turnpike carries about 50 million vehicles each year across northern Ohio from Pennsylvania to Indiana on what is mostly Interstate 80.
Currently, all of the tolls and the sale of gas and food fund the maintenance and operation of the route, which stretches 241 miles.
Kasich at first appeared to be intent on leasing or selling the road, but local leaders from counties and cities along the along the turnpike objected loudly, saying they feared a private operator would spike tolls so high that traffic would be driven onto local routes that meander through small towns.
They pointed to the fact that tolls have nearly doubled since investors took over the Indiana Toll Road.
In Ohio, its now $16.50 for cars making a full trip on the turnpike, which expects to collect a $250 million from motorists this year.
Kasich has maintained that the turnpike is an underutilized asset that can bring more revenue as he is preparing to roll out a new two-year budget early next year.
He initially said the state could get at least $2.5 billion in leasing it and has said the money would pay for work on roads, bridges and harbors without raising taxes.

El Cajon, Calif. – After three sets, the Lady Mustangs concluded their regular season at 26-5 and 10-4 in the Golden State Athletic Conference. With first-round playoff implications on the line, Coach Bobby Blanken and his squad couldn't afford to look past the San Diego Christian Hawks (5-19, 3-11 GSAC).
The Mustangs won by scores of 25-17, 25-9, and 25-16.
The Hawks opened up play by leading the Mustangs for the better part of the first set until TMC tied the match at 12-12. From there, the Mustangs went on a 4-0 run, extending their advantage to 16-12. Using multiple kills by Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA), Tori Callihan (Simi Valley, CA), and Stacey Jones (Scottsdale, AZ), and a collection of Hawk errors, the Mustangs battled their way to a 25-17, first-set victory.
The third set was controlled by the Mustangs. TMC never allowed the Hawks a chance to make a run in the deciding set with a final score of 25-16 to finish off the sweep. Statistically, the Mustangs were propelled by 17 kills and a .400 hitting percentage.
Dougherty led TMC with 14 kills, eight digs, and a .464 hitting percentage. Ashley Newton (Henderson, NV) had nine kills, one error, and a .727 hitting percentage. Callihan also had nine kills and threw in two blocks, respectively. Rebecca Peluffo (La Crescenta, CA) led the Mustangs with 17 digs.
The Lady Mustangs now wait to hear who, or even if, they will compete against in the opening round of the NAIA National Tournament oon November 17. Playoff information will be released Sunday afternoon.

GALVESTON, Texas - Scientists and biologists are getting a close up look at a 200-year-old sunken ship discovered off the coast of Galveston.
The vessel was originally located by Shell Oil during a survey, but now it is in the hands of scientists who are collecting artifacts and attempting to weave a story about the ship's origin and mission.
Some of the findings include several canons, a telescope, a book and medicine bottles believed to be filled with ginger.
"A lot of people are asking us what's the ship, what's the date, what's the nationality, and the answer is we don't know yet," said Tom Oertling, an archeologist with Texas A&M Galveston.
However, the experts believe the ship could have been on a military mission in the 1800's, or served as a pirate's vessel.
Based on the information collected, it appears the crew went down with the ship, but no human remains have been discovered.
High definition video is being beamed to a team in Galveston from a ship located 175 miles off the coast of Galveston. Its crew is working with an underwater robot, and guiding it as it sifts around the wreckage and retrieves the relics.
A live streaming of the video can be found at www.nautluslive.org.
While the primary focus is to gather archeological data, biologists are also learning more about life on the ocean floor.
"We are not necessarily seeing new species that we've never seen before, we are seeing some that have never been named, said Steve Gittings with NOAA. "We're learning this ship was very lucky enough to sink in very low productivity environment where it is not overgrown now by a bunch of biological critters that somehow deteriorate the quality of the artifacts."
Because of the condition of the wreckage, there are no plans to raise the entire ship. However, artifacts that are collected will be sent to Texas A&M in College Station where they were be preserved. Eventually, items will be displayed in museums across the country.
