The Sea of Red is synonymous with Nebraska fans, who pack Memorial Stadium for every home game and stick out like stop signs at every away game. The crowds are 90,000 strong, a population that would make Memorial Stadium the third-largest city in Nebraska on game days, a fact Huskers fans proudly tout when they call themselves the "Greatest Fans in College Football."
In fact, the Huskers have an NCAA-record 333-game sellout streak, which extends way to 1962, the beginning of a multidecade run of bowl game wins, No. 1 AP rankings and claims to five national championships. Opponents who travel to Lincoln will see red, no doubt about it. But the other color, black, is purely for practice.
While Nebraska rocks red or white uniforms on the field, the "Blackshirts" roam on the practice field. That's the nickname for Nebraska's defense, and the history dates back nearly as long as the Huskers' sellout streak. According to school legend, former coach Bob Devaney decided to split his team into two distinct units, offense and defense, in 1964. Prior to that, many players in the college ranks played both offense and defense.
• Check out all the stops on Sport Illustrated's Go Rving Tailgate Tour
Two units necessitated two separate uniforms, and the cheapest jerseys at a local sporting goods store were jet black. The first-team defense wore the black jerseys at practice and almost immediately became the envy of the team. The dark jerseys became a point of pride and the first-team defense became the Blackshirts.
Soon enough, the process of handing out black jerseys became an honored team tradition. current coach Bo Pelini bestows the black on defensive starters who excel on the field, while poor defensive performances have led to players losing their jerseys.
Nebraska defenders have embraced the renegade feeling of sporting black against a sea of red. The official Blackshirts logo is a pirate skull-and-crossbones topped with a Nebraska helmet. In true pirate fashion, Nebraska defenders "throw the bones" after big plays: They cross their arms in front of their chests, just like a Jolly Roger flag. The state of Nebraska may be landlocked, but the Huskers are plenty swashbuckling.

Courses and Requirements
In this intellectually demanding and diverse concentration, students will learn to use interdisciplinary methods from the humanities and social sciences to probe the sources of the past for answers to present questions. Working closely with faculty, they will learn to draw comparisons and connections among societies around the world, across a range of historical eras. They will learn to tell fact from fiction, to integrate different kinds of historical texts and data into their research, and to convey their findings through writing that is clearly structured, precise, and persuasive.
A concentrator's courses must include at least one course focused on the U.S., at least one course focused on Europe, and at least three courses focused on areas outside of the U.S. and Europe. A concentrator in history must also take one course in pre-modern history. The Department encourages concentrators to develop competence in a foreign language and to use that competence in their historical reading and research.
Beginning with the class of 2020, concentrators shall fulfill the Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies requirement by taking two courses that consider structural and institutional hierarchies. These courses, like all others fulfilling concentration requirements, are listed on the department's Blackboard site.
Research Seminar (401). Concentrators may fulfill the Senior Program requirement through satisfactory completion (a grade of at least C-) of the research seminar. This course emphasizes the critical evaluation of scholarship in a specific field, culminating in either a historiographical essay or an original essay based upon primary sources and informed by the relevant scholarship.
Independent Senior Thesis (550). Concentrators may pursue an individual project under the direct supervision of a member of the department upon achieving a grade point average in the concentration that is normally 3.5 or higher and with the approval of the department chair and the faculty member supervising the project.
Departmental Honors.
To earn departmental honors, concentrators must earn a grade of A- or higher for the independent senior thesis and make a public presentation of the thesis. They must have a departmental grade point average of 3.5 or above upon graduation, and they must have completed at least one year of college-level study in a foreign language.
A minor in history consists of five courses. Beginning with the class of 2019, one of these five courses must be a Writing Intensive 100-level course. Only two 100-level courses will count toward a minor. At least one course must be at the 300 level or higher, as approved by the department.
A student wishing to be certified to teach social studies in grades 7-12 should contact the Education Studies Program as early as possible.

History of Ideas: Science and Revolution from the Enlightenment to the present.
This course examines the development of modern science and philosophy with emphasis on the ideas, objects, and institutions that shaped natural knowledge between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries.

This course explores the intersection of practice and knowledge creation in a global context, combining study of original texts and experiential learning, including visits to special collections. Cooley.
Environment and International Relations.
International relations are inseparable from the natural environment. Whether it's claiming access to land and resources, responding to natural disaster and disease, or crafting foreign policy, the natural world both shapes and is shaped by interactions among state and non-state actors.

This course illuminates the disparate, multicultural societies over which the English monarchy extended its rule, demonstrating how tumultuous struggles to consolidate and sustain political authority in the 'Atlantic archipelago' corresponded with the global expansion of British commerce.
Britain, Ireland, Empire, 1688-2007.
This course examines the fraught relationship between Great Britain and Ireland from the Glorious Revolution to the era of New Labour and the Good Friday peace accord. It shows how British society was transformed by commerce and industrialization, and how the development and eventual collapse of the overseas empire influenced British politics and culture. In addressing the post-imperial era, the course places emphasis on the Cold War, the effects of the decline of Britain's industrial economy, and immigration from the Commonwealth.
Laozi and Confucius in History.
Examination of the two most significant figures in Chinese history and the disciples and schools that traced their origins to them. Discussion of the texts attributed to Laozi and Confucius, the conflicting interpretations of their teachings from ancient times to the present, and the proliferation of schools that claimed to transmit their original meanings.

The geography of the continental United States seems like the result of inexorable sea-to-sea growth. This survey of environmental history of the American frontier aims to upset this inevitability and approach US expansion as the accumulation of foreign landscapes that Americans shaped into the United States. The course challenges the idea of a westward-moving frontier that disappeared in 1890, instead following it as it moved overseas, into popular culture, and even beyond the earth. Simons.

Monday 12 March,
Since 1955, the Moomba Parade has captured the hearts and imaginations of Melburnians, bringing to life the vitality and energy of the beloved festival. As well as the larger-than-life floats, which were designed by six children who took part in last year's Design a Float workshop (read about them below!), the parade features performance troupes and community groups, and will be officially opened with a Welcome to Country address by the Wurundjeri Tribe.
The new Moomba Parade route will begin at Birdwood Avenue then weave through the picturesque Kings Domain parkland and conclude on Linlithgow Avenue near Queen Victoria Gardens.
2018 Float Designers
Alana loves to twist and twirl and groove to the beat which is why her float, 'Jewellery Box' is a tribute to all things dance. She's no stranger to the Moomba Parade and has even taken part with her dancing school, Studio D. 'Dancing always makes me feel happy so I wanted to have a float that should make everyone feel the same way I do,' says this multi-talented twelve-year-old.
When Izzy found out that she was going to be a part of Moomba she was so happy she cried tears of joy! Her house is full of feathery, scaly and furry friends – she's got a pug called Marmalade, three chickens, four kookaburras and fifteen fish. Being an animal lover, her float 'Perfect Peacock' takes inspiration from one of the most magical and colourful creatures of them all.
Every kid loves candy right?! Lia's design 'Sugar Rush' is one of the sweetest we've ever seen, we're almost tempted to take a bite! Lia loves the rides at Moomba and this year, she can't wait to see her float in action. Her favourite subject is maths and she spends her free time making art.
Imagine if aliens took over Earth?! Mitch's extra-terrestrial themed float 'Even Aliens Need a Day Off' aims to teach us that we need to take time out and enjoy life, even if we've travelled a million light years to get to our destination! Being a creative kid, his favourite subject is art. He also likes to hit the slopes for a spot of skiing.
Five-year-old Shrey loves to check out real building sites and play with his toy crane at home. His design 'Construction Site' features a bulldozer, a crane and larger-than-life workers. Shrey has been to Moomba a bunch of times and LOVES the Parade, not to mention the yummy food!
Viktor was stumped for float design ideas but he followed his heart and used his wild imagination to come up with 'Vikstar Dragon.' When he found out his float will be the Parade he was lost for words! This will be the thirteen-year-old's seventh trip to Moomba. His favourite part of the festival is checking out the skate park competitions.

Fancy yourself a designer? Visit the Design a Float workshop space at Palm Lawn during the festival or share your ideas online. We'll be selecting some of our favourite designs to feature in next year's Moomba Parade!

Bigfoot Attacks Near Mount Saint Helens in Clint Romag's "The Ape Cave Horror"
Jan 10, 2008 00:50 ET
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - January 10, 2008) - Three years have passed since Chad Gamin escaped the massacre in Canada. Thinking he was safe in Longview, Chad didn't realize that the danger was so near. Over the last year, hikers and campers have gone missing around the Mount Saint Helens area. Andrew Bridgeston, a Sasquatch enthusiast, is positive that one of these legendary creatures is involved with the disappearances. With his team of Sasquatch hunters, he is determined to capture one and volunteers the help of a reluctant Chad.
They discover a hidden cave system and what they find in the depths is an unimaginable horror. Attacked and hunted, their only chance to survive is to find a way back to the surface. Even then, it may already be too late.

Many of these enhancers have worked wonderfully for women of all ages, allowing them to live a.
Maca (500 milligrams three times daily): Research shows this adaptogen herb helps increase sexual desire, hormonal balance and fertility in women. Common causes of a loss of sexual desire or low libido in women include issues in your relationship with your sexual partner, sociocultural influences (job stress, media images of sexuality, etc. However, a new drug now in clinical trials - for women - does increase dopamine levels while decreasing a specific kind of serotonin in the brain Early clinical studies suggest the drug could help women with low sexual desire.
If you want to have a happy and healthy sex life, you have to create the space in your life for it." Marin says that looks different depending on the person, but recommends spending 20 minutes of uninterrupted, electronics-free quality time with your partner every day—no work emails, no Instagram distractions, just the two of you. Dark chocolate (make sure it's 70 percent cocoa) helps to increase dopamine levels, the brain's pleasure chemical"; the bioflavonoids in dark chocolate also open up blood vessels and improve blood flow. And you're not alone if you feel your sex drive isn't what it used to be. To change that, Dr. Oz prescribes the all-natural foods and supplements guaranteed to spice up your love life, turn up the heat in the bedroom, and increase the fun for all.
The 15-year search for a pill that boosts sexual desire in women has hit another roadblock, raising questions about the future of efforts to develop a female equivalent to Viagra. A drugmaker working to develop a pill to boost sexual desire in women says regulators are demanding more studies on the experimental drug. Dr. Michael Krychman , Executive Director of the Southern California Center for Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine in Newport Beach, California, explains, While estrogen is critical, it is my belief that there is interplay between lowered estrogen and lowered testosterone levels in women as they age."
Stop using the products u can experience weight gain, even more than ur previous (before) weight...F1 does contain steroids that's y u don't feel any pain in ur body, caffeine keeps ur body fresh all day long... caffeine when taken for a long time u(all herbalife consumers) all over the world need to be hospitalized., or more grave yard to be dugged.. Herbalife has also been accused of using too much lead in their products, and has recently been involved in a court case because their supplements exceed the normal lead limit. Certain ingredients in some of the Herbalife products may cause Herbalife side effects for various people.
But trans men have an easier time finding best male enhancement pills that work hormones, since they're more commonly available over the counter as a muscle enhancer or libido booster.


text: In the last few days, i have noticed my Droid X running hella slow. Here is what I have done to try to correct the issue. Today I did the traditional power off/ on, and it got worse. Then i tried taking the battery out. That made it faster for all of 5 minutes, and now it's super slow again. Text message app especially. I have recently cleared out most of my text convo's, and just deleted the one that had about a million pictures in it. Still running slow/ crashing easily. Advanced task killer helps, but only for a few minutes. Phone still runs super sluggish after all of the Apps have been killed. Here are my questions. What have I missed in the process? How do I keep all of the pointless/useless apps from starting? (IE Visual Voicemail (which i'm, not signed up for), City ID, VOICE COMMANDS, and all that extra bull**** that they add for convenience, that really no one uses... (Kinda like computer companies putting their own Media player on there, when everyone uses iTunes) ... I think I lost a parenthases in there somewhere... whatever, you get it. Any new updates on FROYO? i thought it was coming out last month. Thanks a bunch!

NAMElockinit lockdestroy lockmgr lockmgr_args lockmgr_args_rw lockmgr_disown lockmgr_printinfo lockmgr_recursed lockmgr_rw lockmgr_waiters lockstatus lockmgr_assert - lockmgr family of functions
SYNOPSISIn sys/types.h In sys/lock.h In sys/lockmgr.h Ft void Fn lockinit struct lock *lkp int prio const char *wmesg int timo int flags Ft void Fn lockdestroy struct lock *lkp Ft int Fn lockmgr struct lock *lkp u_int flags struct mtx *ilk Ft int Fn lockmgr_args struct lock *lkp u_int flags struct mtx *ilk const char *wmesg int prio int timo Ft int Fn lockmgr_args_rw struct lock *lkp u_int flags struct rwlock *ilk const char *wmesg int prio int timo Ft void Fn lockmgr_disown struct lock *lkp Ft void Fn lockmgr_printinfo const struct lock *lkp Ft int Fn lockmgr_recursed const struct lock *lkp Ft int Fn lockmgr_rw struct lock *lkp u_int flags struct rwlock *ilk Ft int Fn lockmgr_waiters const struct lock *lkp Ft int Fn lockstatus const struct lock *lkp
options INVARIANTS options INVARIANT_SUPPORT Ft void Fn lockmgr_assert const struct lock *lkp int what
DESCRIPTIONThe Fn lockinit function is used to initialize a lock. It must be called before any operation can be performed on a lock. Its arguments are:
- Fa lkp
- A pointer to the lock to initialize.
- Fa prio
- The priority passed to sleep(9).
- Fa wmesg
- The lock message. This is used for both debugging output and sleep(9).
- Fa timo
- The timeout value passed to sleep(9).
- Fa flags
The flags the lock is to be initialized with:
- Enable adaptive spinning for this lock if the kernel is compiled with the ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS option.
- Allow recursive exclusive locks.
- Disable lock profiling for this lock.
- Allow exclusive locks only.
- Instruct witness(4) to ignore this lock.
- witness(4) should log messages about duplicate locks being acquired.
- Disable ktr(4) logging for this lock.
- Use Fa timo during a sleep; otherwise, 0 is used.
The Fn lockdestroy function is used to destroy a lock, and while it is called in a number of places in the kernel, it currently does nothing.
The Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw functions handle general locking functionality within the kernel, including support for shared and exclusive locks, and recursion. Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw are also able to upgrade and downgrade locks.
Their arguments are:
- Fa lkp
- A pointer to the lock to manipulate.
- Fa flags
Flags indicating what action is to be taken.
- Acquire a shared lock. If an exclusive lock is currently held, EDEADLK will be returned.
- Acquire an exclusive lock. If an exclusive lock is already held, and LK_CANRECURSE is not set, the system will panic(9).
- Downgrade exclusive lock to a shared lock. Downgrading a shared lock is not permitted. If an exclusive lock has been recursed, the system will panic(9).
- Upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock. If this call fails, the shared lock is lost, even if the LK_NOWAIT flag is specified. During the upgrade, the shared lock could be temporarily dropped. Attempts to upgrade an exclusive lock will cause a panic(9).
- Try to upgrade a shared lock to an exclusive lock. The failure to upgrade does not result in the dropping of the shared lock ownership.
- Release the lock. Releasing a lock that is not held can cause a panic(9).
- Wait for all activity on the lock to end, then mark it decommissioned. This is used before freeing a lock that is part of a piece of memory that is about to be freed. (As documented in In sys/lockmgr.h . )
- Fail if operation has slept.
- Do not allow the call to sleep. This can be used to test the lock.
- Skip the witness(4) checks for this instance.
- Allow recursion on an exclusive lock. For every lock there must be a release.
- Unlock the interlock (which should be locked already).
Fn lockmgr
postpones serving further shared requests for shared-locked lock if there is
exclusive waiter, to avoid exclusive lock starvation.
But, if the thread requesting the shared lock already owns a shared lockmgr
lock, the request is granted even in presence of the parallel exclusive lock
request, which is done to avoid deadlocks with recursive shared acquisition.
The LK_NODDLKTREAT flag can only be used by code which requests shared non-recursive lock. The flag allows exclusive requests to preempt the current shared request even if the current thread owns shared locks. This is safe since shared lock is guaranteed to not recurse, and is used when thread is known to held unrelated shared locks, to not cause unnecessary starvation. An example is vp locking in VFS lookup(9), when dvp is already locked.
- Fa ilk
- An interlock mutex for controlling group access to the lock. If LK_INTERLOCK is specified, Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw assume Fa ilk is currently owned and not recursed, and will return it unlocked. See mtx_assert9.
The Fn lockmgr_args and Fn lockmgr_args_rw function work like Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw but accepting a Fa wmesg , Fa timo and Fa prio on a per-instance basis. The specified values will override the default ones, but this can still be used passing, respectively, LK_WMESG_DEFAULT LK_PRIO_DEFAULT and LK_TIMO_DEFAULT
The Fn lockmgr_disown function switches the owner from the current thread to be LK_KERNPROC if the lock is already held.
The Fn lockmgr_printinfo function prints debugging information about the lock. It is used primarily by VOP_PRINT9 functions.
The Fn lockmgr_recursed function returns true if the lock is recursed, 0 otherwise.
The Fn lockmgr_waiters function returns true if the lock has waiters, 0 otherwise.
The Fn lockstatus function returns the status of the lock in relation to the current thread.
When compiled with options INVARIANTS and options INVARIANT_SUPPORT the Fn lockmgr_assert function tests Fa lkp for the assertions specified in Fa what , and panics if they are not met. One of the following assertions must be specified:
- Assert that the current thread has either a shared or an exclusive lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
- Assert that the current thread has a shared lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
- Assert that the current thread has an exclusive lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
- Assert that the current thread has no lock on the Vt lkp lock pointed to by the first argument.
In addition, one of the following optional assertions can be used with either an KA_LOCKED KA_SLOCKED or KA_XLOCKED assertion:
- Assert that the current thread has a recursed lock on Fa lkp .
- Assert that the current thread does not have a recursed lock on Fa lkp .
RETURN VALUESThe Fn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
The Fn lockstatus function returns:
- An exclusive lock is held by the current thread.
- An exclusive lock is held by someone other than the current thread.
- A shared lock is held.
- 0
- The lock is not held by anyone.
ERRORSFn lockmgr and Fn lockmgr_rw fail if:
- Bq Er EBUSY
- LK_FORCEUPGRADE was requested and another thread had already requested a lock upgrade.
- Bq Er EBUSY
- LK_NOWAIT was set, and a sleep would have been required, or LK_TRYUPGRADE operation was not able to upgrade the lock.
- Bq Er ENOLCK
- LK_SLEEPFAIL was set and Fn lockmgr or Fn lockmgr_rw did sleep.
- Bq Er EINTR
- PCATCH was set in the lock priority, and a signal was delivered during a sleep. Note the Er ERESTART error below.
- Bq Er ERESTART
- PCATCH was set in the lock priority, a signal was delivered during a sleep, and the system call is to be restarted.
- Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
- a non-zero timeout was given, and the timeout expired.
LOCKSIf LK_INTERLOCK is passed in the Fa flags argument to Fn lockmgr or Fn lockmgr_rw , the Fa ilk must be held prior to calling Fn lockmgr or Fn lockmgr_rw , and will be returned unlocked.
Upgrade attempts that fail result in the loss of the lock that is currently held. Also, it is invalid to upgrade an exclusive lock, and a panic(9) will be the result of trying.

Hi, kjub6, welcome to the Seven Forums!
Good advice, Anak! :)
One other thing, kjub6, do an uninstall, reboot, then reinstall. You mentioned you performed a re-install and a system repair but did you uninstall before the re-install?
You really should be able to fix the issue by doing an uninstall and then a re-install; all of your data will be preserved.

I had had that happen just recently. I went from office 2007 to office 2003 and some of the icons were messed up. Deleteing the IconCache.db file fixed it for me. Is this the procedure you followed?
Rebuilding the Icon Cache Database
1. Close all folder windows that are currently open.
2. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
3. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
4. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
5. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
6. Type CMD.EXE, and click OK
7. In the Command Prompt window, type the commands one by one and press ENTER after each command:
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
8. In Task Manager, click File, select New Task (Run…)
9. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
