An examination of the different policy options for the criminal justice system, with particular attention to the connection between law and justice. The limits of law as a means of resolving disputes and maintaining social order are also examined. The course addresses the complex elements of "justice" and the difficulties of administering justice in a democratic society by examining the social construction of law throughout history. The course looks at one particular alternative to the present criminal justice system and administration of law called restorative justice. The third section of the course critically addresses a number of specified legal policies in the United States.
CRJ 200 Introduction to the Criminal Justice System (3)
A study of the agencies, institutions and processes of the criminal justice system - legislature, police, attorney, courts and corrections; the definitions of crime, legal defenses and limits of the law; constitutional and procedural considerations affecting arrest, search and seizure; kinds and degrees of evidence; cases and materials affecting criminal law, prosecution, defense and the courts.
CRJ 201 Introduction to the Juvenile Justice System (3)
A study of the agencies, institutions and processes of the juvenile justice system; historical and social-scientific evaluation of judicial decisions affecting the development and operation of the juvenile justice system from the police investigation to adjudication and final disposition.
A social-scientific, theoretical survey of the nature of crime, including causal factors and theories and procedures in prevention and treatment; evaluation of basic assumptions and philosophies of corrections. Prerequisite: SOC 152.
CRJ 303 Constitutional Law (3)
A specialized course of study focusing upon a significant theme or topic in political science. Topics may include Canadian or European politics, the American presidency, voting behavior, state and local government or international conflict resolution. May be taken more than once with different topics.
CRJ 310 Criminal Law and Procedure (3)
This course focuses on the study of substantive criminal law and criminal procedure in the courts of Ohio and the U.S. Federal system. A case study method is used to analyze criminal law in the United States, the manner in which cases are processed through the criminal system and the influences affecting their outcome. Prerequisites: CRJ 180 and CRJ 200.
Violent family life has largely been hidden from public analysis. In this class we critically examine the emergence of intimate violence as a social problem, are exposed to experiences of persons involved with family violence, explore various explanations for violence in families and analyze various prevention and policy measures. In each of these cases, attention is paid to the impact (or non-impact) of demographic factors, such as ethnicity, race and religion, on the occurrence and effect of intimate violence. This course may be taken as part of the Women's Studies minor.
CRJ 325 Interventions in Corrections (3)
Survey of the theoretical basis for assessing the social and/or therapeutic approaches to the control and rehabilitation of criminal behavior in a correctional context.
CRJ 340 Conflict Transformation and Mediation (3)
This course has three primary goals: 1) to provide students with an overview of the conflict transformation movement; 2) to provide basic introductory training for students in the practice of interpersonal conflict resolution and mediation in a variety of settings; 3) to encourage students to consider the deeper issues that underlie conflict, violence and war in our society, including issues of culture, power and politics. The issues involved in this class concern matters ranging from interpersonal relationships to youth violence and international peace and reconciliation. This course may be taken as part of the Peace and Conflict Studies minor.
CRJ 345 Restorative Justice Theory and Practice (3)
An exploration of the philosophy and practice of restorative justice, a new paradigm for how we view and treat criminal events. The course is designed to encourage an in-depth understanding of the needs of victims, offenders and communities in the processing and comprehension of criminal events. The course takes a critical look at the current system of criminal justice and critically examines the alternatives that restorative justice offers. This course may be taken as part of the Peace and Conflict Studies minor.
CRJ 350 Enforcement: Theory and Practice (3)
Survey of the police role in American life. Focus shared between the police as a formal organization in patrol and investigative operations and the police as a social, psychological or subcultural type. Primary attention given to the relationship of communal security and consent to governmental authority and to the role of the police in the maintenance of order.
CRJ 351 Corrections (3)
Survey of the correctional system from both a historical and analytical perspective. The course focuses on a variety of topics including sentencing strategies and punishment rationale in democratic societies, the philosophy and effectiveness of rehabilitation, individual adjustment and inmate organization in both male and female prisons, constitutional issues, access and remedies in addressing prisoner s rights, and emerging restorative alternatives to corrections.
CRJ 360 The Justice Professional Seminar I (3)
Students are introduced to the field of criminal justice using a strong field component and focusing on restorative themes. It intentionally considers justice in a broad context including distributive and criminal understandings. The course is intended to help students develop a better understanding of themselves and the field by offering an early field experience (20-25 hours out of class) focused on observation and reflection. The class is for students of criminal justice (major or minor) but is open to any student exploring a possible career in law or criminal justice who has taken the prerequisite courses.
CRJ 380 Integrative Studies in the Criminal Justice System (3)
An interdisciplinary study of management, institutional, philosophical or research concerns in selected system-wide problems and topics in criminal justice.

CRJ 390 Independent Study (1-3)
By arrangement.
CRJ 411 Social sciences Capstone (3)
This capstone course is cross-listed in Criminal Justice, Public Health and Political Science. Capstone experiences provide students with an opportunity to reflect upon their education experiences and apply the knowledge and skills gained during their course of study. In this class, students will utilize problem-based learning to review key ideas and examine how they embed in the broader context of the social sciences. In parallel with the course content, students will engage in career development activities, including resume building, job searching and interviewing skills, as they prepare to join the workforce or pursue a graduate education. Students without prior field experience will need to complete the relevant placement/internship (at least 2 semester hours/80 on site hours in their relevant field) in conjunction with the course. Topics covered in the course: career development, applied problem-solving, identifying interdisciplinary connections in the social sciences.

This article, Green Jobs for Recent Graduates: Make a Sustainable Impact, made an impact on me. I read it and couldn't stop thinking that when you graduate from Middlebury College you feel armed to take on the world with all your newly acquired skills and competencies from 4-years of liberal arts inquiry and experiential learning. Yet, what our graduates are finding is that in some sectors–especially those that are emerging–the idea of an entry-point is not so obvious. So what our graduates need to do is be both creative and assertive. They need to re-define what the entry-point could look like for employers by being persuasive enough and confident enough to take on projects. They also need to be realistic about what skills are needed in these sectors; perhaps getting LEED certified would provide additional credentials in the green building sector or energy auditor training for the energy efficiency area. Why not approach a start-up firm or new energy efficiency company with the willingness to start lower on the totem-pole but exhibit the willingness to take on new training and rise through the ranks (sounds old fashion, right?).
Your liberal arts degree will not be put on a back-burner. Instead you will be using your skills in a new context–whether it's in a classroom or working on green building design–your ability to identify and tackle problems critically, your ability to get diverse groups of people to work together, or your ability to synthesize, analyze and execute will always be put to the test in a world that is constantly pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone.
So if you want to explore some of these interesting green careers, check out the right-side resources on this CCG Blog under "Environment Jobs/Internship Resources" or check out our EIA Career Library. Of course, you should also feel free to drop by EIA Career Services to meet with a counselor to discuss your ideas.

The University Provided Vehicles Mileage Log should be completed by any employee who is provided a vehicle by the university in order to compute the taxable value associated with the personal use of that vehicle. This value will be included the employee's W-2 and is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Mileage logs should cover a reporting period from November 1 through October 31. Each university provided vehicle used within that period should be included in the log and should include the vehicle year, make, and model, the market value of the vehicle, the date the vehicle was received, and the beginning mileage of the vehicle when received. Ending mileage should then be recorded on a monthly basis, along with the number of miles that were business related for the month. Personal miles and associated taxable values will be computed from this information.
An Example Vehicle Mileage Log guides in completing the form.
The University Provided Vehicles Mileage Log should be saved once at the beginning of each annual reporting period for use throughout the year and can be completed electronically using Microsoft Excel, which is available for University-owned computers or home computers of university technology users.

text: Tim White Manure Processor Announces New Fertilizer Plant Buckeye Farm Beat New technology is coming the Grand Lake St. Marys region to put local manure to use as organic fertilizer. Published on: March 23, 2012 Last July Moshem Amiran came to Maria Stein to show farmers and civic leaders his patented technique for processing livestock manure into organic fertilizer. Last week representatives of Amiran Technologies based in Oak Creek, Wis., returned to Maria Stein to unveil their plans for a 25,000 square foot plant to process manure from local farms. The company plans to break ground in April or May for what they are calling the Ag Conversions Ohio Grand Lake Watershed facility. When fully running, the plant will use 350,000 tons of liquid manure to make 590,000 tons of pelleted fertilizer per year. It will employ about 60 people directly in the processing and about 180 in related fields like transportation and warehousing. The region has more than 300 livestock operations and has been ruled a distressed watershed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Soil and Water Resources. The vast majority of the farm operations have comprehensive nutrient management plans. Some farmers have had to restrict their livestock numbers to meet the requirements of the plans. Jared Ebbing, economic and community development director for Mercer County, told the Daily Standard, the new plant would help local farmers to continue to grow and not be stifled by the distressed designation. "We don't want to hear farmers saying 'We are going to be having to be thinning our herds,' " he is quoted as saying. "We don't want to lose what we have in our ag community. We wanted to see what technology was out there to help." The facility will have covered storage capacity for 3,000 to 5,000 tons of dry manure. It will also have lagoons capable of holding up to 7 million tons of liquid manure. Initially, they will be working with both swine manure and poultry litter. Much of processed fertilizer product will be applied to row crop production. The company says they can formulate the product to exclude phosphorous. Between this new processing plant and the steps livestock producers themselves have taken in the area, the manure concerns seem to be coming under control in the region. However, none of this addresses the current problem of excess phosphorous already in the soil with the capacity to run off in the water as dissolved phosphorous and cause future algal blooms in Grand Lake St. Marys. More technology is welcome.

Mexico plans how to safely box up recovered radioactive cobaltThursday, 05 December 2013 03:21 Published in National News
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican troops and federal police kept a nighttime watch on a rural field where thieves abandoned a stolen shipment of highly radioactive cobalt-60, while officials began planning the delicate task of recovering the dangerous material.
Juan Eibenschutz, director general of the National Commission of Nuclear Safety and Safeguards, said late Wednesday that it could take at least two days to safely get the material into a secure container and transport it to a waste site.
"It's a very delicate operation," Eibenschutz said. "What's important is that the material has been located and the place is being watched to guarantee no one gets close."
The missing shipment of radioactive cobalt-60 was found Wednesday near where the stolen truck transporting the material was abandoned in central Mexico.
The highly radioactive material had been removed from its container, officials said, and one predicted that anyone involved in opening the box could be in grave danger of dying within days.
The cobalt-60 was left in a rural area about a kilometer (a half a mile) from Hueypoxtla, a farm town of about 4,000 people, but it posed no threat to the residents and there was no evacuation, Eibenschutz said.
"Fortunately there are no people where the source of radioactivity is," Eibenschutz said.
Townspeople complained they hadn't been given any information about what had been found in the nearby field.
"We don't know anything," resident Jose Antonio Rosales told Milenio Television. "We don't know if it's good, if it's bad. The authorities haven't told us anything."
Federal police and military units on the scene threw up an armed cordon about 500 meters (yards) around the site.
Mardonio Jimenez, a physicist for the nuclear commission, said it was the first time cobalt-60 had been stolen and extracted from its container in Mexico. The only threat was to whoever opened the box and later discarded the pellets of high-intensity radioactive material inside, he said.
"The person or people who took this out are in very great risk of dying," Jimenez said, adding that the normal survival rate would be between one and three days.
He said there was no word so far of anyone reporting to area hospitals with radiation exposure. He said those who exposed themselves to the pellets could not contaminate others.
The cargo truck hauling the cobalt-60 was stolen from a gas station early Monday in the neighboring state of Hidalgo, about 40 kilometers (24 miles) from where the material was recovered, Jimenez said. Authorities had put out an alert in six central states and the capital looking for it.
The material had been removed from obsolete radiation therapy equipment at a hospital in the northern city of Tijuana and was being transported to nuclear waste facility in the state of Mexico, which borders Mexico City.
Eibenschutz said there was nothing to indicate the thieves were after the cobalt or in any way intended for an act of terrorism, The thieves most likely wanted the white 2007 Volkswagen cargo vehicle with a moveable platform and crane , he said.
On average, a half dozen thefts of radioactive materials are reported in Mexico each year and none have proven to be aimed at the cargo itself, he said.
According to authorities, a truck marked "Transportes Ortiz" left Tijuana on Nov. 28 and was headed to the storage facility when the driver stopped to rest at a gas station in Tepojaco, in Hidalgo state north of Mexico City.
The driver told authorities he was sleeping in the truck when two men with a gun approached him. They made him get out, tied his hands and feet and left him in a vacant lot nearby.
Eibenschutz said the transport company did not follow proper procedures and should have had GPS and security with the truck.
"The driver also lacked common sense because he decided to park along a highway so he could sleep," he said.
The company that owns the truck couldn't immediately be located for comment. One Mexico City company called "Transportes Ortiz" said the truck was not theirs and they had nothing to do with the incident.
St. Louis native dies in plane crash in Puerto RicoWednesday, 04 December 2013 03:46 Published in Local News
The NTSB and FAA are investigating a plane crash in Puerto Rico that killed a St. Louis native.
Monday night, 28 year old Steven Gullberg II and his co-pilot were killed when the cargo plane they were flying crashed along Puerto Rico's north coast. Authorities say the plane had been en route from the Dominican Republic when it descended rapidly over the mountains.
Gullberg was a Hazlewood Central High School graduate.
For the past three months Gullberg had worked for Fort Lauderdale based IBC Airways. Gullberg's family says he had expressed concerns about problems with the maintenance of the company's planes, even questioning their safety.
Lawyer: NY Engineer had 'daze' before train crashWednesday, 04 December 2013 03:37 Published in National News
YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) — An engineer whose speeding commuter train ran off the rails along a curve, killing four people, experienced a hypnotic-like "daze" and nodded at the controls before suddenly realizing something was wrong and hitting the brakes, a lawyer said.
Attorney Jeffrey Chartier accompanied engineer William Rockefeller to his interview with National Transportation Safety Board investigators Tuesday and described the account Rockefeller gave. Chartier said the engineer experienced a nod or "a daze," almost like road fatigue or the phenomenon sometimes called highway hypnosis. He couldn't say how long it lasted.
What Rockefeller remembers is "operating the train, coming to a section where the track was still clear — then, all of a sudden, feeling something was wrong and hitting the brakes," Chartier said. "... He felt something was not right, and he hit the brakes."
He called Rockefeller "a guy with a stellar record who, I believe, did nothing wrong."
"You've got a good guy and an accident," he said. "... A terrible accident is what it is."
Rockefeller "basically nodded," said Anthony Bottalico, leader of the rail employees union, relating what he said the engineer told him.
"He had the equivalent of what we all have when we drive a car," Bottalico said. "That is, you sometimes have a momentary nod or whatever that might be."
NTSB member Earl Weener said it was too soon to say whether the accident was caused by human error. But he said investigators have found no problems with the train's brakes or rail signals.
Alcohol tests on the train's crew members were negative, and investigators were awaiting the results of drug tests, the NTSB said.
Federal investigators wouldn't comment on Rockefeller's level of alertness around the time of the Sunday morning wreck in the Bronx. They said late Tuesday they had removed Bottalico's union, the Association of Commuter Rail Employees, as a participant in the investigation over a breach of confidentiality after he publicly discussed information related to it.
Two law enforcement officials said the engineer told police at the scene that his mind was wandering before he realized the train was in trouble and by then it was too late to do anything about it. One of the officials said Rockefeller described himself as being "in a daze" before the wreck.
The officials, who were briefed on the engineer's comments, weren't authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Questions about Rockefeller's role mounted rapidly after investigators disclosed on Monday that the Metro-North Railroad commuter train jumped the tracks after going into a curve at 82 mph, or nearly three times the 30 mph speed limit.
Rockefeller, 46, has worked for the railroad for 15 years and has been an engineer for 10, Weener said. He lives in Germantown, 40 miles south of Albany.
On the day of the crash, Rockefeller was on the second day of a five-day work week, reporting at 5:04 a.m. after a typical nine-hour shift the day before, Weener said.
"There's every indication that he would have had time to get full restorative sleep," he said.
Weener didn't address specifically what the engineer was doing in the hours before his shift started but said part of the investigation will be creating a 72-hour timeline of his activities.
Chartier said Rockefeller had gotten "a proper amount of sleep," having gone to bed at 8:30 the previous night to wake up at 3:30 a.m. for his shift. He said Rockefeller, before going to bed, had been spending time at home.
Rockefeller had begun running that route on Nov. 17, two weeks before the wreck. Bottalico said Rockefeller was familiar with the route and qualified to run it.
He said Rockefeller had switched just weeks earlier from the night shift to the day shift, "so he did have a change in his hours and his circadian rhythms with regard to sleep."
The New York Police Department is conducting its own investigation, with help from the Bronx district attorney's office, in the event the derailment becomes a criminal case.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday the engineer could be faulted for the train's speed if nothing else.
"Certainly, we want to make sure that that operator is disciplined in an appropriate way," he said. "There's such a gross deviation from the norm."
A former supervisor, Michael McLendon, who retired from the railroad about a year ago, called Rockefeller "a stellar employee."
McLendon said he was stunned when he heard about the crash, shortly after opening his mail to find a Christmas card from Rockefeller and his wife.
"I said, 'Well, I can't imagine Billy making a mistake,'" McLendon said. "Not intentionally, by any stretch of the imagination."
University of Dayton professor Steven Harrod, who studies transportation, said trains typically don't have a speed or cruise control but a power control, and once it's set a train can pick up speed on its own because of the terrain.
"Thus, if the engineer loses attention, the train can gain speed without intervention," Harrod said.
In case of an engineer becoming incapacitated, the train's front car was equipped with a dead man's pedal, which must be depressed or the train will automatically slow down.
Trains also can have alarms, sometimes called alerters, which sound if the operators' controls haven't been moved within a certain timeframe. If an engineer doesn't respond, often by pressing a button, brakes automatically operate. But the train that derailed didn't have such a system, a Metro-North spokeswoman said.
Congress has ordered commuter and freight railroads to install technology called positive train control, which uses electronics to monitor trains' positions and speed and stop derailments and other problems, by the end of 2015.
Crews are rebuilding the damaged track where Rockefeller's train crashed. Officials expect 98 percent of service to be restored to the affected line Wednesday, Cuomo said.

(1) To all research investigations involving human subjects whether supported by university funds, private funds, or governmental funds. This includes graduate theses or dissertations and other student directed research. (For student research the faculty advisor is assumed to be the responsible investigator.)
(2) Investigations conducted by university students in connection with academic work must be supervised by a faculty member, who will refer such proposals to the institutional review board designee for initial review and for decision as to whether full IRB review is necessary.
(E) Procedures. The specific review procedures are as follows:
(1) Experienced IRB members are assigned responsibility for preliminary review of all human subject research in a specified department or group of departments.
(2) Before beginning a project, the investigator shall submit an "Application For Approval To Use Human Subjects In Research" form to the designated reviewer. The investigator shall include in the application a description of all research procedures and the manner in which the rights and welfare of the participants are assured, copies of consent forms, and questionnaires to be used.
(3) The reviewer makes the determination whether the research is level one and exempt from further review and can begin immediately; level two can require expedited approval; or level three requiring full board review for approval.
(4) Upon receiving notification of approval, the investigator can initiate the research project.
(5) Subjects must be informed of the purpose of the research, the procedures to be used, the degree of risk or discomfort and the anticipated benefits. The subject must know that participation is voluntary and that he/she can withdraw at any time without penalty. Consent of the subject is usually documented on a consent form which the subject or guardian signs. The consent form contains the basic elements of informed consent in language understandable to the subject including information on whom to contact for answers to questions or problems.
(6) Any approved investigation which undergoes subsequent modifications affecting the rights or welfare of the human subjects involved must be resubmitted. It shall be the responsibility of the investigator or project director to request such review prior to initiating the modification.
(7) Research involving other than legally competent adults (such as children, people with mental disabilities, etc.) shall require written informed consent from parents, guardian or other appropriate authority as well as the subject's assent.
(a) For the purpose of this rule, "people with mental disabilities" means persons aged 18 and older with any mental or psychological disorder, such as mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities. Or any other condition defined in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 28 CFR 35.
(8) Research involving special populations such as pregnant women and prisoners must be conducted in accordance with appropriate regulations.
(9) Approval of a proposed investigation is granted for a period of no more than one year. Continuation or renewal proposals must receive the same critical review as initial applications.
(10) If a subject registers a complaint, the investigator shall attempt to relieve the complaint. If the investigator finds that the complainant cannot be satisfied, the investigator shall refer the complainant to the institutional review board or to the office of research and graduate studies.
(11) If a subject experiences any harm, physical, emotional, or mental, as a result of an approved investigation, the principal investigator must fully report the circumstances to the institutional review board or to the office of research and graduate studies.

If you have any interest in classic cars, you will be amazed by the collection assembled on the fifth floor of the hotel/casino. There are cars that are valued into the millions of dollars. They are in mint condition. They provide a nostalgic glimpse into the past and into the development of the automobile. There are cars that were owned or driven by celebrities such as Tom Jones, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Howard Hughes, and Johnnie Carson, and luxury cars that one has only read about. In addition, there are simpler cars that bring back memories to all of us such as the early VW bugs and vans. This museum is not on the grand scale of Harrah's back in the '70s, but there are more than a hundred cars on display. We loved this place.

It's the only time I can recall tiptoeing into a postgame locker room.
Staying as quiet as possible seemed appropriate after what happened to the Minnesota Gophers football team at the Metrodome in 1983:
Nebraska 84, Minnesota 13.
And it wasn't as close as the score indicates. Seriously, it could have been worse. It was bad enough because Nebraska was limited by travel-squad rules to 60 players, which led to situations like this:
With the Husker reserves gassed from playing so much, NU coach Tom Osborne reinserted All-America I-back Mike Rozier for one series late in the third quarter. Rozier promptly raced 71 yards for a touchdown to make it 63-13.
That sent longtime Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Sid Hartman — who at age 93 still writes today — into a rage in the press box, accusing Osborne of running up the score.
Thirty years later, such details remain vivid for me.
Just as they are for Minnesota linebacker Pete Najarian, whom I interviewed that night amid the hush of the 100 most shell-shocked football players ever seen.
"I still remember that game like it was yesterday," said Najarian, a financier now better known as co-founder of Optionmonster.com and a contributor on CNBC's show "Fast Money."
"The good news is after 30 years it gets a little easier to talk about. It's something I can sit back and sort of laugh about now."
Najarian wasn't surprised by my interview request, with Nebraska playing at Minnesota on Saturday. He has relived the 1983 game a few times since NU joined the Big Ten three years ago and started playing the Gophers regularly.
One recent trip down memory lane, though, stands out. It occurred in Lincoln in August — in Osborne's office.
"We both had pretty clean, fresh memories about how the game went," Najarian said.
But why in the world was Najarian, who lives in New Canaan, Conn., in Lincoln talking to Osborne?
It was a stop Najarian made after dropping off his daughter, Alexis, who is attempting to walk on to the track and field team at ... Nebraska.
"Of all the places, right?" he said, laughing. "But it's a great school."
Osborne tried hard to recruit Najarian to play football at NU. But the son of famed University of Minnesota transplant surgeon John Najarian stayed in Minneapolis to play for the Gophers.
"When I walked into Coach Osborne's office in August," Najarian said, "he looked me in the eye and said, 'Well, we didn't get you but we got your daughter.' It was flattering for me that he remembered.
"I could have been just a number to him, but I wasn't. His career and his dealings with people are second to none."
Questionable scheme
Statistics from the 84-13 contest are video game-esque. Nebraska scored 21 points in each quarter. The Huskers had the ball for only 22� minutes yet scored 12 touchdowns and gained 790 yards.
What led to the crazy numbers, including six touchdowns of longer than 40 yards, was Minnesota's defensive strategy. Labeled the "Husker Defense," it involved crowding the line of scrimmage with six players and blitzing nearly every snap.
Did any Gophers question that plan during the week before the game?
"I did," Najarian said. "I had huge questions about it."
But on the first series, Nebraska went three and out.
Said Najarian: "We kind of felt, 'Wow, as crazy as this is, this defense might work.' But I knew it wouldn't be long before the Nebraska coaches adjusted."
On a play late in the first quarter, Najarian surveyed the Gopher defense from his linebacker spot and saw Nebraska wingback Irving Fryar spread out — with no one covering him.

"No cornerback. Nothing," Najarian said. "And he was jumping up and down trying to get Turner Gill's attention. So I started running, trying to take an angle. But Turner grabbed the center, got the ball and shot it over to Fryar, who took it to the house."
Nebraska backup quarterback Craig Sundberg, now a Lincoln businessman, led the Huskers to their three fourth-quarter touchdowns during what he called "a very strange night."
The stat sheet shows a 51-yard touchdown pass from Sundberg to Jeff Smith, but it was a swing pass in the flat, not a long bomb. Sundberg also had a 44-yard touchdown run.
"It was a basic option play," he said. "We ran nothing but basic plays all night. I cut it up and after four or five yards, there was nobody there. I just kind of started jogging and nobody came after me."
Minnesota suffered injuries during the game to its starting quarterback and top running back.
"We were very young, beaten up and overmatched," Najarian said. "I still believe Nebraska that year could have competed against some of the teams in the NFL. That's how good I felt they were. I played against a lot of those guys later when I was in the NFL."
As for the "Husker Defense?"
"Thirty years later, we have some laughs about it that we couldn't have at the time," Najarian said. "It became a joke for us later in life.
"To this day, with guys from that team, if someone isn't playing very well, we'll text each other that they might be playing the 'Husker Defense.' "
Stand-up guy
Watching an 84-13 game was difficult to fathom. Trying to get the losing side to talk about it could have been a monumental chore.
Minnesota coach Joe Salem, instead, greeted the press like a night-club comedian.
"I think the turning point was probably the opening kickoff," he cracked. "We tried to take Rozier away, and we did a heck of a job. What did he have — 300 yards?"
Salem, who eventually lost nine more games in a row that season and his job, said his light-hearted approach had to do with playing the No. 1 team in the country.
"When you lose to someone like Nebraska, it almost doesn't mean that much," he said that night. "I feel bad, but Northwestern beat us last year, and, boy, you really can't get them out of the tank after that."
When Salem finished, the Minnesota locker room was opened. Chuck Sinclair of the Lincoln Journal-Star and I looked at each other with a shake of the head and ventured in.
"I really dreaded going into the Minnesota locker room after watching Nebraska put up 84 points in every imaginable way," said Sinclair, now a retired Goodyear executive living in Ohio.
"Covering the Nebraska opponents' locker room in the year of The Scoring Explosion was not a job for anyone with a weak stomach."
The utter quiet in a room with that many football players in it will stick with me forever. Only an occasional sniffle, cough or slammed piece of equipment registered.
"It was brutal in there," Najarian recalled. "Just brutal."
But Najarian, a sophomore, stood tall and answered every question. And he did it again this week, with our gratitude.

It seems missed turns is a very common thread in the suggestion Forum.
Surely its about time the mods do something about.
Perhaps the easiest option is to add a selection in the "Start A Game" page that allows the game creator to pick whether he wants to allow players to miss turns or not. This will appease the so called "Casual Game" players claim and will also appease the rest of us who are feed up with people missing turns.
Perhaps the mods could send out a poll to all in CC and get a real opinion on what we who pay to play want.

NEWBERRY, S.C. – Ishmael Hollis had his first double-double as a Saint and fellow junior transfer Chris Tanzy broke a school record in just his second game of action Saturday afternoon as the North Georgia College & State University men's basketball team was able to hold off Newberry College in overtime with a 106-99 win in the championship game of the Mom Reeves Memorial Tournament.
Hollis led the Saints (2-0) in both scoring and rebounding for the second game in a row as he had 28 points and 14 rebounds against the Wolves (1-1). His impressive outing included a 10-20 effort from the field and a team-high six three-pointers.
Tanzy set the school's NCAA era record for most assists in a single game as he set up 12 scores to go along with six points of his own.
The Saints' 106 points scored against the Wolves was the most in a single game for North Georgia since scoring 105 in a win last season over Mars Hill College on Nov. 12, 2011.
With 10 minutes left in the first half, the Saints seemed to break things wide open offensively as they went on a 20-5 run over the span of five minutes. The drive ended with North Georgia up 40-22 with 5:24 remaining in the first stanza.
By the time the first half was over, the Saints held a 52-36 lead after being up by as many as 23 at one point.
But the second half was a different story as the Saints came out slow and allowed the Wolves to score six unanswered points in the first minute of play to pull within 10 (52-42).
Where North Georgia controlled the ball and seemingly scored at will down the stretch of the first half, Newberry did the same in the second stanza. The Wolves slowly chipped away at the lead with a 33-10 run that followed a Hollis three-pointer at the 8:10 mark and ended when Demarkus Smith scored a layup with 39 seconds remaining in regulation.
The two teams attempted to end the game in 40 minutes, but the final buzzer sounded with the score knotted at 91-all after Quayshun Hawkins drilled a three-ball with just six seconds remaining to avoid the loss for Newberry.
The Saints were able to regain their composure in the five-minute overtime period as they out-scored Newberry 15-8 to seal the seven-point victory.
In total, five players finished with double-digit point outings for North Georgia led by Hollis' game-high 28 points. Scott Windom was the Saints' next leading scorer with 17 points while Lamar Richardson and Taylor Metzger both added 15. JC Ward rounded out the double-digit scoring for the Saints with 11 points.
Richardson's 15 points all came in the first half off five three-pointers while Ward just missed out again on a double-double with nine rebounds added to his 11 points. In Friday's game, Ward came within two rebounds of recording the double-double.
As a team, the Saints finished the contest shooting 49.4% (38-77) from the field that included a 47.4% (18-38) effort from beyond the three-point arc.
Newberry's team stats were very similar to that of the Saints as the Wolves shot 46.7% (35-75) from the field and six players finished with double-digit points.
The three leading scorers for the Wolves were Mitch Riggs, Dondray Walker and Hawkins all with 17 points. Riggs and Walker led the team with four three-pointers each while Brunes Charles finished with a double-double performance off 14 points and 10 boards.
Following the game, Ward and Windom were named to the All-Tournament team while Hollis was named the Mom Reeves Memorial Tournament Most Valuable Player.
The two programs will continue their rivalry on Wednesday, Nov. 14 in Dahlonega with a 7 p.m. contest.

Novell eDirectory is a cross-platform lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) server. In addition to LDAP, eDirectory also implements NCP over IP. More information can be found on Novell's web site at the following URL.
Remote exploitation of a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in Novell Inc.'s eDirectory product could allow an attacker to force the running daemon to cease servicing requests.
The problem specifically exists within the NCP functionality of eDirectory. Sending a sequence of specially crafted fragmented requests will cause a DoS condition.
If the input is crafted properly, eDirectory will report to its error log that a fragment has been received with an invalid length. The error message includes the contents of the fragments in hexadecimal notation. However, if the length is negative, eDirectory will try to dump data to the log indefinitely. This results in a large amount of data being saved to the log. Once the end of the heap segment is reached, a memory access violation will occur and the server process will crash.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to crash the server process. No credentials are required. Repeated attacks could allow the attacker to cause excessive disk space usage.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version 8.8.1 of Novell Inc.'s eDirectory server with FTF1 applied. The earliest version tested was 8.8. Earlier versions are suspected to be vulnerable.
iDefense is unaware of any effective workaround for this issue.
Novell has addressed this problem within FTF2 for eDirectory 8.8.1. More information is available in Novell Document ID 3924657 at the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2006-4520 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Argentine director Fernando "Pino" Solanas screens and discusses his 2007 documentary about his country's achievements in science and engineering.
The latest product in the more than four-decades-long career of Fernando "Pino" Solanas, Argentina Latente ("Dormant Argentina"), appeared in 2007, the same year that the filmmaker stood as a presidential candidate for a small socialist party. Although the documentary looks at poverty, at the sagging public educational system, and at some legacies of torture and dirty war, the main subject this time is Argentina's latent scientific, industrial, and human capacity. The film cries out for a halt to what it presents as the pointless self-strangulation of a resource-rich and always innovative nation, a once and perhaps future path-breaker in fields from ship-building and aviation to nuclear power.
After a March 6, 2008, screening of the film at UCLA, Solanas answered questions from a packed house of about 50 students, scholars, and members of the public.
"The most interesting thing, and the reason I made this film, is that all of this surprises the Argentines in Argentina," he said in Spanish, referring to the achievements of the country's scientists and engineers. "It's very difficult to find a professor, a judge, a legislator, a high official who recalls these facts. No one knows who these engineers were who created these things."
Argentina, which independently enriched uranium for nuclear energy, is the world leader in the construction of reactors for scientific research, according to the film. The country has built state-of-the-art ships, cars, planes, and satellites. At the UCLA event, Solanas said that he'd been forced to overlook significant advances in medicine, biology, and biogenetics for the sake of brevity.
Meanwhile, when technological progress in the form of robots threatened jobs at one Argentinian factory featured in the film, the workers reorganized to compete globally in spite of obsolete equipment. They went on to open a so-called "factory of ideas" to artists and artisans. Innovation has many forms in the film's synthesis of social commitment and chest-thumping patriotism.
So does theft. Solanas in the film excoriates neoliberal trade policies emanating from Washington, the compliant and corrupt administration of President Carlos Menem (1989–99), and to a lesser degree subsequent governments. Argentina Latente is the third installment in a series of documentaries about the nation since the financial crisis that culminated in 2001, and for which the director and a number of economists have blamed those same trade policies. The next two documentaries will focus on public transportation and services, and the environment.
In the world of this film, which presents a series of affecting characters, ordinary Argentines make two kinds of decisions: heroic or simply understandable. Some of the heroes endured torture; later ones organize workers or teach grade school in a broken system. They also remain in their country as scientists and leaders in spite of a brain drain and the low wages described by one interviewee as "punishment." They distinguish themselves with an acute understanding of what Argentina has given them. Others, understandably, have left the country in the last decade in search of economic security and career advancement.
In a given documentary, Solanas told the audience, the goal is "not just to expound the theme, but to bring forth its protagonists, these characters who give it heat, who give it life, who give it humanity."
Asked if he had ever treated Argentina's substantial cultural production, including its film industry, Solanas laughed: "I'm missing that movie. It's missing."

There are plenty of open areas for the great days in the fall and spring time to be outside and have fun. The gyms and pool are great.
The fact that there is a lake pretty much on campus is a great for me, not to mention the mountains in the fall with the leaves changing is great too. It's a great college atmosphere and doesn't get lost in a city setting.
The friendliness of people in the south definitely sets Clemson apart from other schools. Also we have a lot of school pride.
Campus life is pretty solid, always something going and there are tons of clubs. Greek life is huge here, so if you're into that, you'll have a bast. Facilities are all pretty nice, no complaints there.
I haven't been to a lot of schools, but football is huge, and tailgating is quite a good time.

Sorry, there are no reviews.

Students are satisfied with the facilities at Clemson, and they are appreciative of the renovations that have taken place in the past couple years. Remodeled athletic facilities such as the Littlejohn Coliseum (basketball), Tiger Field (baseball), and Clemson Memorial Stadium, also known as "Death Valley," make any competition worth attending.
It seems like there is always yellow tape somewhere on campus-the construction is never-ending. The most recent addition to the campus scenery is the Hendrix Student Center. The Fike Recreation Center was newly renovated for the 2003-2004 academic year. Although a lot of the facilities are aging, one must only walk across campus to see that Clemson is perpetually engaged in improving its services to students. Within the next year or two, the facilities provided to incoming students should be incredible.
