The School of Education offers professional studies courses leading to the Michigan professional or provisional teaching certificate at the elementary and secondary levels as well as courses for continuing professional development through the master's degree. Students must be eligible for admission to the School of Education in order to enroll in education courses.
All NMU education programs are accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council and approved by the Michigan Department of Education.
Northern's School of Education carries primary responsibility for:
- Curriculum for elementary school teachers
- Curriculum for teachers of children with cognitive impairment
- Curriculum for teachers of children with emotional impairment
- A sequence of professional courses in education for secondary school teachers.
In cooperation with other departments, the school also sponsors graduate programs for teachers and school service personnel leading to the master of arts in education. These programs are described in the Graduate Studies Bulletin.
Most education courses at Northern Michigan University include field experience in K-12 classrooms. A number of education courses meet in public school buildings to expand teaching opportunities. Another learning opportunity is an apprenticeship in special education, which provides students with a chance to refine goals and polish skills.
- Michigan Student Council for Exceptional Children
- Student Michigan Education Association
Baccalaureate degree graduates without teaching certification may complete a provisional certification plan of study for teaching at the elementary or secondary level by enrolling in undergraduate courses. If a student has completed courses as an undergraduate that are applicable to a teachable major or minor, the undergraduate credits may be counted toward the state requirement for provisional certification. If additional credit hours are required, they may be obtained through enrollment in undergraduate courses. In addition to the major and minor requirements, the student must complete the State of Michigan requirement in professional education. Provisional certification programs are available in elementary education, secondary education and special education.
Post-degree students who qualify for a Michigan provisional certificate do not automatically receive another Northern Michigan University degree. In order to do so, all requirements for earning a second degree must be met and verified.
All post-baccalaureate applicants must have:
- a cumulative GPA of 2.70 in undergraduate-level college credits; or
- 30-40 credits in liberal studies courses outside of their major and minor with a GPA of 2.70; and
- ACT, SAT or PPST scores as listed below in D.
Admission to Northern Michigan University does not necessarily imply full admission to a teacher education program. Admission to teacher education is determined by the director of teacher education student services or the certification counselor in the School of Education or, on appeal, by the teacher selection and retention committee.
The complete set of standards (teacher selection and retention standards) to which all students in the teacher education program must adhere is available in the School of Education and can be accessed through the following Web site: www.nmu.edu/education.
- an ACT composite score of 20 or an SAT score of verbal 450 and math 500; and
- a high school GPA of 2.75 in college preparatory subjects.
- a cumulative GPA of 2.70 in undergraduate-level college credits;
- at least 24 credits in liberal studies courses outside of their major and minor with a GPA of 2.50; and
- ACT, SAT or PPST scores as listed below in D.
C. All post-baccalaureate applicants must have:
- a cumulative GPA of 2.70 in undergraduate-level college credits; or
- at least 40 credits in liberal studies courses outside of their major and minor with a GPA of 2.70; and
- ACT, SAT or PPST scores as listed below in D.
D. All students, prior to enrolling in education courses, must be able to show competency in the areas of reading, mathematics and writing in one of the following ways:
- ACT subscores of 21 in English and reading, and 20 in mathematics; or
- SAT scores of verbal 450 and mathematics 500; or
- Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) scores of reading 174, mathematics 173, and writing 173.
- more than five repeats in college courses;
- a combination of excessive repeats and withdrawals from classes; or
- more than one repeated course in any of the following areas: major, minor, professional education sequence, or the planned program and required cognates combined.
Retention in the Program
To retain eligibility in the professional teacher education program, a student must:
A. Maintain an overall GPA of 2.70 or above.
B. Maintain a GPA of 2.70 or greater with no grade below "C" in the professional education sequence, the major and/or minor(s), and the planned program and required cognates combined.
C. Have no more than five total repeats, with no more than one repeat in each of the following:
- major(s)
- minor(s)
- professional teacher education sequence courses
- the planned program and required cognates combined
Students who are denied admission or are academically dismissed from the program may appeal the decision to the teacher selection and retention committee by contacting the committee's chairperson or the director of teacher education student services. Hearing procedures are stated in the document titled "Academic Dismissal from the Teacher Education Program," available in the School of Education.
Students are expected to take their professional education sequence courses at Northern Michigan University. Guidelines for specific courses are:
A. ED 201 Introduction to Education
Transfer credit will be accepted but given only a satisfactory or unsatisfactory grade designation. An "S" grade will be assigned when the grade earned is "C" or greater, and a "U" grade will be assigned when the grade earned is below "C."
B. Methods-level courses: a minimum of 20 credits of methods-level courses must be taken at NMU, including the following:
Elementary Education
ED 311 (3 credits)
ED 316 (3 credits)
ED 420 (11 credits)
ED 450 (1 credit)
Secondary Education
ED 319 (3 credits)
ED 349 (2 credits)
— 350 (3-4 credits)
ED 430 (11 credits)
ED 450 (1 credit)
Special Education
ED 311 (3 credits)
ED 316 (3 credits)

All education courses are invalid after six years. MA 150 Mathematics for the Elementary Teacher I, MA 151 Mathematics for the Elementary Teacher II, and MA 353 Methods and Materials in Teaching Elementary School Mathematics Education are also invalid after six years.
These requirements apply to all provisional certification programs of study. Exceptions to the requirements may be made by the director of teacher education student services or the certification counselor in consultation with the appropriate faculty member.
Repeats of education courses must be taken at NMU.
Eligibility for Student Teaching Placement
Students should plan to do their student teaching when they have completed all prerequisite course work. Students should notify the student teaching office of their intent to do student teaching two semesters in advance and must submit a complete student teaching application one semester in advance. Forms, policies, procedures and other information are available in the Field Experience Office.
Student teaching placements are made by the university. Students are not to contact school personnel to arrange student teaching placements.
Occasionally the university finds it difficult to secure a student teaching assignment. Although the university may request an assignment, school districts are under no obligation to accept a student teacher. Reasons such as a poor academic record or a lack of a suitable supervising teacher are responses typically given by districts when not offering a student teaching placement. Students should be aware of this possibility as they progress toward a degree in teacher education.
Eligibility for Recommendation for Certification
To be eligible to be recommended for certification, students must satisfy the following requirements.
A. Comply with all of the previously stated admission and retention requirements.
B. Complete the baccalaureate degree in accordance with the above criteria and any additional criteria as established by other academic departments, where applicable.
C. Satisfactorily complete the student teaching assignment with a recommendation for certification by the supervising teacher and the university supervisor.
D. Satisfactorily complete all Michigan Test Teacher Certification subject area competency tests as required by Public Act 451 as amended (major, minor(s), and elementary education where applicable).
E. As of July 1, 2004, in order to be certified, new teachers must possess a valid certificate of course completion for first aid training that includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This training must be from the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association.
Students who do not meet requirements for continuous enrollment (e.g., those who drop out for one or more semesters or withdraw from all courses in which they are enrolled) are required to re-apply for admission to the level of the teacher education program that they were enrolled in at the time of their departure.
Students may be required to complete other tests or evaluation procedures for admission to any phase of the teacher education program, for removal of any suspension from the program, or for teacher certification.
Social Studies Component
All students in the elementary education curriculum must complete a 16-credit-hour social studies requirement. Any AN, EC, HS, PS or SO prefixed course fulfills this requirement, as well as ENV 101, FR 310, GC 100, GC 164, GC 300, NAS 204, PL 270 and SN 314. These credits can be double counted with other program requirements.

Yep, it will be 7 years this May!
I have had at least three members volunteer to be fun run leaders. It would be best to have a few more "sign up" as alternates if some are unable to attend last minute.
Info for the uninitiated:
Victory Brewing Company is in Downingtown, PA about 30-50 minutes west of Philly
The way this all works:
11:00 am meet at Marsh Creek State Park.
Where is Marsh Creek?
** Be sure you come into the park from the east side of the lake - Route 100 **
There have been instances of attendees relying solely on GPS that ended up at the west side boat launch parking.
Drive down Park Road until you see Subies in the parking lot.
If the lower lot is full there are two lots up the hill. We have had to use the upper lots a few times.
** The second (middle) parking lot is the official spill over if needed. **
Weather forecast for the meet area: 7-Day Forecast for Latitude 40.09°N and Longitude 75.77°W
No later than 12:30 leave for a fun run through beautiful scenic northern Chester County.

Poured in a career-high 27 points - including 24 in the second half - in leading Georgia to victory over No. 2 Texas in the second game of the year.
Became only the second freshman ever to be named the SEC's Player of the Week in her collegiate debut (the other being Chamique Holdsclaw in 1995-96).

Named SEC Player of the Week on Jan. 3 and Jan. 24, becoming the first freshman ever to be honored twice in a month.
Became the seventh player to be a three-time SEC Player of the Week winner in a season.

Ethiopia Facts Flag
Ethiopia is a landlocked country in the northeast African region known as the Horn of Africa. The country has a high central plateau, with some mountains reaching more than 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). The Great Rift Valley splits the plateau diagonally. The western highlands get summer rainfall; the lowlands and eastern highlands are hot and dry. Most people reside in the western highlands as does the capital, Addis Ababa—the highest capital city in Africa at 2,400 meters (8,000 feet). The population is almost evenly split between Christians, living in the highlands, and Muslims inhabiting the lowlands. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigreans are the largest ethnic groups.
Hunger and war plague this nation, whose history spans 2,000 years. During the first millennium A.D. the Ethiopian Orthodox Church held the kingdom's Christianity secure against Islamic holy wars. Emperor Haile Selassie, dethroned in 1974, was the last of the monarchs, all of whom avoided European colonialism, except for Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941.
Most Ethiopians are farmers and herders. But deforestation, drought, and soil degradation have caused crop failures and famine during the past few decades; seven million people face starvation. A high birthrate and refugees from Somalia further strain economic resources. In May 1991, a 30-year civil war between the government and rebel forces aligned with Eritrean nationalists ended with the government's downfall. Under a transitional government, Eritrea became independent in 1993, cutting off Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea. The 1994 constitution divided the newly landlocked country into nine ethnically based regions. A 1998-2000 border war with Eritrea killed tens of thousands and ended with a UN-sponsored agreement to demarcate the ill-defined border.

welcome from southern oregon
New guy here. Names John. Love handguns. Ive owned quite a few over the years. Currently own a "Mowry Custom Ruger Redhawk" its a 4" model cut to 3 1/2 inches. The trigger and hammer have been replaced with nice chrome ones, the hammer spur is a bit shorter and smoothed and rounded. A bit too short for my normal liking, but it IS a double action.
Its engraved "Mowry Custom 032" on the top strap and "1 of 200 on the barrel. I have to assume the "032" is the run on that model i suppose? Anyway i got the first to 200 of whatever he was making.
I also have a mk II with a red dot and silencer...silencers fake, but i can draw a happy face on a target at 25 yards all day with her..
I DID own a new taurus pt1911. My second 1911 ive owned, first was a Colt Delta Elite 10mm. I didnt like that much power out of such a "small" gun. (1911s not being small per se, but 10mm is a lot of punch and i prefer magnum powered bullets coming from a revolver).
The delta elite i left as factory. No modifications, etc...
NOW The taurus...by the time i sold it, damn near the only thing still taurus on it was the frame, slide, and barrell. . I must have modified and tweeked that gun so much that it may have started out a 700.00 new hot item at the shop, but MINE was more like a hand made custom. (The shop owner, wilson combat, and ed brown customs ALL liked me a LOT) and with both of them, i couldnt hit a 10 foot circle from 5 feet away! (Not THAT bad but 1911s just arent my cup of tea. I LOVE the design, i LOVE working on them, especially adding on or modifying after market doo-dads and doing trigger jobs but im just not accurate with them over about 10 yards. Dont know why. Beretta 9mm- 4 to 6 inch groups at 20 yards all day,, Springfield XD in 40 or 45 - same thing, 1911-bubkiss. But ive never shot a springfield or kimber or Sig or anything "high end" so i havent written them off completely, just the 2 i owned)
So over the years ive learned a few things. I can gut, clean, and most times fix about any handgun from my first (smith n wesson model 10 .38 spl; through one of my most complicated weapons, a Desert Eagle MK VII 44 mag...though i would have to say my MK II 22 is quite a "Hellraiser puzzlebox" too.
Anyhow. I like these chat sites. Ive done a lot with a lot of different models and over the years ive discovered that the more i learn about guns, the more i realize i dont know squat! LOL
I can be a bit of a smart-ass on occaision. So if you get offended easy or cant take a joke, i may ruffle your feathers on occasion. 2 things i will never and have never joked about;
1) the military. People in it, people who have been in it, and what those people do and have done. I myself wae in the Army. And its because of what those fine folks do, did, and are willing to do that wee can all be here on this site and say whatever we please! It all starts there...always has.
And 2) weapon reaponsibility
Gun ownership is your right. (See point #1) and as a right, owning one is a choice. And like all choices theres consequences either way. Use it, dont use it, either way...owning it comes with its own set of potential problems or potential rewards. Nothing burns me up more than an irresponsible gun owner doing something irresponsible and the press, public, whomever immediately attacking other gun owners, manufacturers, and places that sell guns and ammo. Some people are simply dangerous people....whether its a mean streak they have just naturally or lack of knowledge or lack of common sense, but a person with low character or in a bad situation who cant find a reasonable way out of it is as dangerous with a gun as without one. If sone "crazy" person hacks someone up with a chainsaw, the press doesnt attack sears, or "Stihl". But that same fella shoots up a house full of folks with a sig saur, somehow it becomes Sig's fault or wal-marts fault for selling bullets. (Just ask K Mart- thanks Michael Moore)
No i swore to defend the freedoms that the flag represents (twice 1993 infantry, and 2007 Engineer corps)) and i still say every american should have the right to own a gun, even the scumbags, but as an american myself, i have the right to also, and if you abuse youre freedoms and make me or my family fear for our lives, well, ill excersize my freedoms, staying within the law as much as humanly possible, to stop you from doing harm to us. If its a situation that puts me in deaths path but some loophole in mans law iis gonna get me killed or thrown in prison, well then i refer to Gods laws.
That may not agree with some, oh well.... again, i swore to defend that flag, which allows for the freedom
for you to disagree with me as well!
Aside from those two things i have a pretty good sense of humor and a reasonable knowledge of handguns. I stoll ask a lot of questions and sometimes even dumb ones. Buy as far as introductions go, i think thats a good amount of info bout me. glad to be here!
Thank you!.
I spent a couple years in Wichita, closest i ever got to Oregon. But thank you from southern Michigan

I am an Illinois hunter that will be spending time in Minnesota Wed-Sun over Thanksgiving. We are having a family reunion. My brother who is in the Army stationed in Texas will also be there. We are wondering about spots to possibly sneak in a duck hunt or two. We are staying in Plymoth (NW side of twin cities). Is there a site or place to get info that shows public land? I have a boat but not sure I want to drag it 6 hours with the family and parking it at the house may be an issue. Are there any walk-in places close?
Any help you could give would be appreciated. Just trying to determine if it is even worth the effort of packing the gear. It would be a nice relief from the house full of people though!

to discover our award-winning online English school.
My name is Taehoon Felix Kim and I want to be a teacher in America.
(I prefer to be called Felix)
I've been studying English since when I was in Highschool, and I graduated Community College with major in Teacher Education:Transfer a couple of years ago.
I am serving in army for now, (If you know about Korean culture, all males have to serve the army for 2 years.)
and I made a study group for soldiers who wants to learn and study English with me in my base.
I will transfer to 4 year college in NY as soon as I am done with the army service, but I think this is going to be a good chance to stack more experience for my future job.
The problem is, however, since I am lack of experience, I don't have clear plan or tutorial to teach my "students".
This is why I was surfing internet and found this website so that I may can find a solution or get some help.
I would love to take you guys' advises, and I am waiting for help.
Feel free to talk to me please,
Thank you for reading :)
Hello Felix,
Hello Felix,
Hi Felix! Nice to meet you. I'm actually an English teacher. For the first time, I couldn't make something new for my students. I only took the materi from school books. If my students felt bored, they requested me something new. Besides,EF helps me to improve how to make a great topic. You can include podcast, reading, and also new vocabs. This is not only about teaching or being teacher, but you can learn from your student. What they are lack of A materi, teach them an A materi. If your students think new idea, you can take it. But the most important is give them what they need. Slow but sure. Good luck! :) Regards.

Packers running back DuJuan Harris has practiced sparingly over the past three months, and now we know why. Harris has damage to a patellar tendon and needs surgery that will end his season before it starts. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that the team will put Harris on injured reserve. Harris said the tendon is not completely torn, but he wants to get it fixed now to keep it "from popping."
Fantasy Analysis:
Torn patellar tendons are devastating injuries, so while this is too bad for Harris, it's probably the smart move with his NFL future in mind. With him out of the picture, rookie Johnathan Franklin has been given another opportunity to become Green Bay's main third-down back. Eddie Lacy has cemented his role as the team's early-down runner.

Nervous Aggressioin on Lead...
Hi all,
We rescued Harley just over two months ago. He is the perfect dog. However he has two vices and that is pulling on the lead and nervous aggression on lead. The latter is my main concern as pulling is being worked on quite well.
Off lead he is perfect and ignores dogs. He doesn't love them but will tolerate them. On lead he can be quite unpredicatable.
He came from a foster home with three other dominant and alpha dogs who probably took away some nerves, he was also seldom walked on lead (just dragged the fosterer for about five mins down the road until at the park).
He is worse when he feels overwhelmed i.e training class when they're all moving around, or at dog shows. But even when a dog walks past at close counters he will scuttle towards them and make noise. It can really take us by surprise.
I've heard its because he feels he needs to take alpha role when out and panics about that because he is naturally submissive. When off lead he has had dogs barking at him, and a few even snapping at him and he ignores it. He doesn't care and doesn't retaliate...put a lead on him and he could be quite scary really!
Trouble is he behaves just like a Chuihuhua (sp) dog does in the training class but everyone looks at Harley this fluffy GSD like the devil because of his breed. I want him to do the breed justice, not paint them in a bad light. Someone has said once he put them off having a GSD ever because he was so naughty at a dog show. Which is a shame because these are his two problems, he is perfect otherwise.

|Some dogs don't get along in the door, some dogs take a little bit to get used things, and some never get along. I have 2 females that are 6 yrs apart and it works well. My female GSD was not fond of the male and she growled at him at first, they get along great now. It just depends on the dogs and their temperaments. Mine have great temperaments and I wouldn't being in another female for quite a few years. My older female has taught the younger one everything she knows about keeping the boys in line
|whoa, no, no, no to the whole thing of your parents not being able to watch them all day. for a very, very long time...perhaps forever, SOMEONE will have to watch and supervise these two. leaving two bitches alone who "get aggressive and growl" is an accident waiting to happen. please revise your expectations of these two girls. they don't call it "bitch fighting" for no reason. you may never be able to be comfortable with them together, surely at the least you'll have to go very slow and be very certain that they won't harm each other, before they can be left unsupervised, if ever. sorry to have to tell you that, but you don't want to see the results of two bitches in a knock-down/drag-out.
How to get two females to get along
Hi Guys a little help, any advice from anyone who has experienced this:
I have a GSDxHusky mix 6months old and labradorxspitz mix 5 yrs old. they are both female. I recently brought home(parents home) my GSD where we have the spitz. I tried introducing both of them with each other across a fence, they are both okay and sniffing each other but when I remove the fence both get aggressive and growls at each other. What can I do so that they get friendly?
I keep there sleeping places apart, I also have them eat separately without seeing the other one. I only want them to spend time together playing/bonding during the day because my parents cant watch them all day.

About this time last year I reviewed the Sonos BU150 bundle, which brought Sonos' superb wireless music streaming hardware down to a far more affordable price. Not only was the BU150 bundle more affordable, it also brought improved wireless range to the table with the implementation of MiMo technology, thus making the Sonos wireless mesh network even more robust.
The only slight letdown with the BU150 was that Sonos hadn't updated its CR100 remote controller. Although the CR100 was still a great unit that allowed you to control music in any room in your house from the palm of your hand, the scroll wheel navigation method was starting to look dated in a world full of touch-screen goodness. I mentioned this to Sonos at the time, and I was told that my observation wasn't lost on the engineers and designers, and sure enough the BU250 bundle that I'm looking at today ships with the new CR200 touch-screen controller.
In reality the only difference between last year's BU150 and this year's BU250 bundle is the CR200, with the two bundled zone players remaining identical. To recap, you get one ZP90 and one ZP120. The ZP90 is a relatively small affair with no internal amplification, so you're going to need to connect it to a dedicated amp/receiver or a set of active speakers. The ZP120 is larger since it incorporates an amplifier and can simply be hooked up to a set of bookshelf speakers, which it will drive quite effectively.
The beauty of the ZP90 is that it comes equipped with both optical and coaxial digital audio outputs. This means that you can bypass the ZP90's own DAC and use one of your own choosing, whether that be integrated into your amplifier or a stand alone device. For the true audiophile, this is an attractive option. The ZP120 on the other hand, makes for a very simple hi-fi solution, by just adding a pair of speakers. With both ZonePlayers in the box, you can use the ZP90 in your main living room, hooking it up to your hi-fi or AV amplifier, while the ZP120 can go in a secondary room with a dedicated pair of speakers.
The CR200 brings another addition to the bundle that was missing from the BU150 set. The old CR100 shipped without a docking cradle, leaving you to buy one separately. The new CR200 comes with a docking cradle, thus saving you the cost of buying one, although the overall cost of the bundle itself has risen by £100, which is more than the cost of a cradle. So the question is whether the inclusion of the new CR200 controller justifies the price increase, and I'm inclined to say that it does.

The broker wasn't sure if it just needed to warm up, if there was a problem with the muffs, or whether it might need an impeller. Also, any idea how hard it is to replace the impellor and reseal the lower unit?

Green Bay Routs South Dakota State 7-0 on Sunday
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team cruised to a convincing home win on Sunday morning, defeating South Dakota State 7-0 at Western Racquet and Fitness Club. The Phoenix improved to 9-4 overall and 4-0 on its home court with the win.
Green Bay rolled to lopsided victories at the No. 1 and 3 doubles spots en route to picking up the match's opening point, and then went on to take all six singles contests in the sweep.

At No. 3, Green Bay's Rowan Isaaks (London, England) and Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) defeated former Phoenix teammate Gary Notkin and Lucas Pereira 8-3 to make it 1-0 Phoenix.
In singles action, Green Bay completed five straight-set wins and also secured a victory via an early finish.
Tenzer led 4-1 at No. 1 in the opening set when SDSU's Andrea Boglic withdrew, Gomez Islinger defeated Lawley 6-1, 6-0 at No. 2 and Scott won 7-6, 7-2 at No. 3 against Lovro Curcija. Also in singles, Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) secured a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Henrique Pereira at the No. 4, Isaaks edged Moreira 7-5, 7-5 at the No. 5 spot and Jorge Gonzalez Soler (Madrid, Spain) finished things off with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Notkin at No. 6.

Hello TWIM friends!
Jennie here - a long time fan of TWIV, then TWIP and of course happily learning from your great TWIM podcasts.
Thanks to Michael Schmidt's fascinating discussions - including those regarding copper and microbes - which have really got me thinking. (Copper's natural anti-microbial activity can lower nosocomial infections by decreasing pathogens on hospital surfaces. To plagiarize Mr. Schmidt's own site at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical University of South Carolina: "The 4th leading cause of death in the United States, behind heart disease, cancer and stroke, is Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) where approximately five percent of the patients admitted to US hospitals will acquire an infection. Very little is known of what fraction of these infections result from a microbial contribution obtained from objects present in the built environment."
It appears that copper does have a contribution to make - and I can imagine that there will be some formidable costs in changing surfaces from plastic & alloy & steel to copper.
To decrease costs of switching to copper surfaces for commonly touched fomites (microbe carrying objects) like IV poles and steel hospital infant bassinet units - you're talking to an OB nurse here - I began to think about a 6th or 7th grade experiment we did in school when I was a youngster with copper plating.
With that in mind - I did a quick search for a video on copper plating on Youtube and found this video - which just gives you a peek at how easy it can be to copper plate existing metal surfaces. I'm wondering if this could potentially be a cost saving application for some institutions. Will it be necessary for institutions to re-purchase when perhaps they could resurface?
Of course, I hope that you realize how very much your team has done and is doing to increase our understanding of the tiny denizens without and within us. What an adventure!
Special thanks to you Vincent for sparking greater excitement and transparency in science. Thanks to Jo Handelsman - soil microbes are so vital and so unknown - thanks for the recent apple orchard soil discussion and for her deeply appreciated advocacy for women - Yay! Of course Elio Schecter and Stanley Maloy - fantastic!
Yours with warmest regards
Jennie BSN RN

Staff writer David J. Hill is our spud on the ground, bringing
you updates every day throughout the week from the Famous Idaho
Potato Bowl. He'll also be tweeting from the game @UBCommunity.
Published June 19, 2014 at 5:20 PM
Dear UB community,
While we didn't get the result we'd all hoped for, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl allowed us to capitalize on another opportunity to showcase the University at Buffalo in front of a national audience. It was your support that helped make this happen.
Throughout this past week, we saw UB pride in full force from fans posting "horns up" photos on social media, alumni talking excitedly about their alma mater to coworkers and friends, and students wearing their UB Blue in anticipation for the big game. I can't thank you all enough for your continued support and enthusiasm.
UB athletics is committed to ensuring that our appearance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is not simply a one-off event. We expect to compete for championships in all of our 20 sports, putting our teams and UB in the national spotlight. As I've said before, the University at Buffalo has more potential than any other athletic department in the country and I appreciate you all helping us show why that is the case during this last week of excitement.
Thank you, UB Bulls, for a fantastic season. Thank you fans and UB supporters for your efforts as we work to bring big-time college athletics to Western New York. To be sure, this is a great time to be a Bull!

The Bulls are back in Buffalo.
The team left from Bronco Stadium moments after UB's 49-24 loss to San Diego State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Buffalo's plane touched down at 5 a.m. exactly. Stampeded buses took the team back to UB North Campus.
In his postgame press conference, Bulls head coach Jeff Quinn spoke highly of his special senior class. "I'm proud of the senior class, what they represented," Quinn told reporters.
"They were the ones four years ago who stood in back and said, hey, we want to get to this point and get our program to where we are today.' We wouldn't be here today if we didn't have their leadership, their passion and intensity toward football and this great university that we represent."
Quinn also thanked the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl for providing the Bulls with such a great experience. "Their committee, their staff and everybody involved, the city of Boise, did an excellent job in the way they treated us. We appreciated that very much."
Joe Licata passed for 196 yards and three touchdowns. He finished the season with 23 touchdown passes, one shy of the school record of 24 set by Drew Willy in 2008.
Senior Branden Oliver was named the Player of the Game for Buffalo after rushing for 114 yards. It was his 20 career 100-yard game-seven more than any other player in school history. He finished his outstanding career rushing for a school-record 4,049 yards. He is just the 13 player in Mid-American Conference history to rush for over 4,000 yards.
Defensively, the Bulls were led by Adam Redden, who had nine tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
UB finishes the season 8-5. This was only the second bowl appearance in program history. Their first was in the International Bowl played in January 2009.
Published June 19, 2014 at 5:20 PM
Fans are starting to file into Bronco Stadium and there's been some Buffalo blue spottings. Niagara Fallls native Dave Pisarski, who is here with his daughter Ally, stepped out of the car wearing a Buffalo Bills jacket and hat. He moved to Boise in his early 20s and has been here since.
"I still follow the local college teams and pro teams," Dave said. "We heard about that Khalil Mack, that's he's going to be a high draft choice. I've never had a chance to catch him locally so I'm excited to see him."
"How often does Buffalo play in Boise?!" Ally said. "And we heard there's somebody on the team named Boise. I'm a waitress and one of my customers told me."
Helen Silas is here with her husband Dean Ohren and Boise resident Shannon Landis. Dean's predicting a 35-10 Bulls victory. Helen said the bowl game is a great reward for the players on the team, including her son, Jake, an offensive tackle.
"These kids have worked their entire athletic careers for this event for these guys to have academics and athleticism they're an incredible group of young men," she said.

The UB Bulls are at Bronco Stadium. Kickoff is about 90 minutes away. Fans cheered the Bulls on as the players left their hotel and headed for the stadium earlier this afternoon.
Anyone fortunate enough to make the trip out here knows, but Bronco Stadium is a gorgeous facility, with an amazing view of the mountains.

They may be 2,200 miles away from Buffalo, but the UB Bulls got a little slice of home this afternoon at Bronco Stadium.
Snowflakes began to fall as the Bulls stepped onto the famed Boise State blue turf field. The Bulls even took the blue turf—which nearly matches their uniforms—as a good sign.
"It feels like a little home advantage with blue turf and the weather around here," Maxwell Perisse, a redshirt freshman from Downington, Pa., said after the team's walk-through. "I thought it was real neat. It's going to be a fun experience playing on it tomorrow."
"This is the only place you're gonna get that chance to do it—it's the only field that's blue. It's definitely different," added junior Jake Stockman.
"It makes us feel at home out here—Buffalo blue. It's definitely darker than what film showed it to be. But it's just like [our field] at home. It's hard because it's cold, and it's turf, so it's perfect. It was just like home," he said.
One person isn't such a huge fan of the blue turf, and that's San Diego State head coach Rocky Long. Back in 2011, when Boise State was readying to join the Mountain West Conference, Long told reporters, "I think they ought to get rid of that blue turf. I think it's unfair."
In response, the conference banned the Broncos from wearing their all-blue uniforms on the field. For the record, the Bulls are the visiting team for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and will wear their white jerseys.

For all the Buffalo Bulls fans arriving in Boise for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, there's something very important to know: Boise, Idaho's capital city, is pronounced like boy-see, not with a "z" as it's commonly pronounced back East.

The Buffalo Bulls' biggest booster is in Boise. Ronald Balter arrived earlier today and is ready to watch UB win its first-ever bowl game. Balter's Twitter handle—UBBulls1—tells you just how big he is on the Bulls. But if that's not enough, he also has an equipment room named after him in UB Stadium.
A 1980 graduate of UB, Balter was an equipment manager for the football team during his undergraduate years. You might say he hasn't left UB football since.
"The university got me where I wanted to be, and that's why I want to give back," says Balter, an attorney in New York City. "I started with the program as a student manager in '77, five years ago I went to Toronto [for the International Bowl], I'm here in Boise now and hopefully someplace else for another bowl game next year."
Balter wasn't going to allow some difficulty traveling affect his ability to attend tomorrow's game against San Diego State. Balter's flight to Boise on Thursday got diverted to Salt Lake City and he drove four hours up to Boise—without his luggage.
Balter said he's excited for the steady progress the Bulls have made in recent seasons, and hopes not only that such progress continues, but that the elevated profile of UB athletics helps to bring greater exposure to the University at Buffalo as a whole. "If it gets the school's name out there, gets more people to apply and builds more alumni pride—that's good for all," he says.
While Balter is happy to be in Boise for the bowl game, this weekend has presented a small dilemma for him. The Bulls men's basketball team is playing in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center Saturday afternoon. You can bet Balter would have gone to that game; he's just a short walk from the arena. "They scheduled that game last spring and when I looked at the calendar I said, Dec. 21—that's bowl season. That could be a problem."
But Balter is here in his Bulls gear, hoping to witness an historic occasion for UB football.

A University at Buffalo contingent brightened the day for patients at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center during a visit to the hospital in downtown Boise earlier today.
A handful of football players, along with head coach Jeff Quinn, cheerleaders and Bulls mascot Victor E. Bull, talked with patients for about an hour. One patient in particular made a big impact on the players.
"The most special moment for me was meeting a 19-year-old kid, his name was Rez. He was in the Air Force and got injured. His parents were there, too. It was nice to talk to him about sports. We were talking to him about the Miami Heat and LeBron James. That really made my day," said Alex Neutz, a senior wide receiver from Grand Island, N.Y.
"A lot of people said good luck to us. When they saw us, they cheered right up. It was a great feeling to see the smiles on their faces," added senior Branden Oliver.
Although it was a short visit for the Bulls, it's one they'll carry with them for a long time. "I'll remember that for the rest of my life," said junior Jake Stockman. "I got to meet an older man I'd never met before. He walked by and he goes, UB Bulls! He knew who Branden Oliver was. You can't forget those experiences."
Added Stockman: "One guy was excited to get home, get on the couch, have a beer and watch some football. For us to remind him of being home and having a good time with his friends and family, that was great for us. It's pretty rewarding."

It's not all potatoes and football here. A number of Bulls players and cheerleaders spent some time in prison—at the historic Old Idaho Penitentiary, that is—touring and learning about the 100-year-old site.
The penitentiary has proved to be a popular draw among the UB contingent in town.
A group of players visited the historic prison Thursday afternoon. About a dozen members of the UB cheerleading team took a separate trip to the prison, which housed some of the West's most desperate criminals. The prison was also used as a filming site for the television show Ghost Adventures.
"It looked like a castle. It was oddly beautiful. It was creepy but in a beautiful sort of way. And with the mountains behind it, it was really cool," said Michaella Hayden, a junior occupational therapy major on the cheerleading squad.
According to the Idaho State Historical Society, the Old Idaho Penitentiary features 30 historic buildings and special exhibitions. The prison was built in 1870 and its first prisoners arrived two years later. The "Old Pen," as locals know it, closed in 1973.
"There was one cell that was really cool, I took a picture of it. There was a chair in there and there was a painting of a bird in the back corner—it was actually a really good painting," Hayden said. "It made it even more creepy because the paint was peeling off the ceiling and off the walls. I was very happy that we went."
The self-guided tour also provided the girls some insight into
what people could receive jail time for a century ago. Said Hayden,
"It was really interesting because of how historic it is.
Learning about how the old jails used to work going back to the
1800s and even seeing what the inmates were in for, stealing cattle
and stealing lambs, all the way up to murder. One of the prisoners
there actually designed the dining hall. That surprised

Fred Lee, a senior wide receiver known for his good hands on the field and his deeds off of it, was named the University at Buffalo recipient of the Humanitarian Award Thursday evening in the Boise Centre.
The Humanitarian Awards Dinner is held each year as part of the events surrounding the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and dates back to when the game was known as the Humanitarian Bowl.
One recipient from each of the participating Potato Bowl teams is honored with the Humanitarian Award. Paul Pitts III was the San Diego State recipient.
Lee, who hails from Chester, S.C., devotes his time generously in the Buffalo community. His community service has included mentoring at-risk high school kids, volunteering at day care centers, speaking at local schools and reading to kids. In addition, Lee has spent time at the Buffalo veterans hospital and has volunteered with Ronald McDonald House, the Red Cross and the Big Brother/Big Sister program.
Lee said he's humbled to represent UB. "It's always an honor to be recognized for the things I do outside of football. That's where I really pride myself--inspiring other people to be great in life in whatever they decide to do," Lee said after receiving the award.
His Bulls teammates gave him a standing ovation when his name was called. "It's a greater feeling than scoring a touchdown and having the whole stadium erupt and cheer, knowing that my teammates really respect me to that level," Lee said.
Lee credited his mom for instilling in him the values he holds today. "Growing up, my mom was a key factor in my life. I struggled with being bullied and talked about and I was really depressed and sad at times, but she put belief in me that I could believe in myself. Her doing that for me, and now being able to repay that and give it to so many other people, that means a lot to me. I do it just to do it, and I'm happy to be able to represent the University at Buffalo."
Lee's community service was also recognized earlier in the season. He was named one of 11 Football Bowl Subdivision members of the Allstate Insurance Company and American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. It is considered one of the most prestigious off-the-field honors in college sports.
The Humanitarian Awards Dinner also featured a trivia contest pitting the UB and San Diego State defensive lines against each other in a battle of the brains. Buffalo won.
"It was fun. We beat them 4-2," said Xavier Davis, a freshman defensive lineman from Atlanta. "It was all weird true or false questions, like could you wipe your sunglasses off a potato if it's freezing." The answer was "true," and the Bulls got it correct.
"We know our potatoes," Davis said.

The Bulls wrapped up practice Thursday morning at Boise State's Dona Larsen Park. For the seniors on the team, it was their final practice as members of the University at Buffalo football team.
"Having it be the last day that you're ever gonna wear your college practice jersey, it just makes you think about how fast it's closing down," said defensive lineman Colby Way.
The goal for today's practice was getting everything right in preparation for Saturday's game, said Branden Oliver, the Bulls' record-setting running back. "We tried to have a perfect practice. It was 'perfect practice Thursday,' so we tried to get everything done the right way."
Tomorrow morning, Buffalo will head to Bronco Stadium for a site visit, where they'll check out the blue turf field they'll be playing on Saturday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against San Diego State.
A wave of Bulls fans is expected to arrive in Boise tomorrow as well to help cheer on the Bulls.

In his "Insider's Guide to Boise" post on the Go UB Bulls site, UB alum Robert O. Davies highly recommended that bowl game visitors try the "ice cream potato" from the Westside Drive-in.
Not that one would ever doubt the wisdom of a UB alum, but Bob was certainly correct in his characterization of this baked potato-shaped dessert. It's well worth a try.
The ice cream potato is vanilla ice cream sprinkled with cocoa to create the baked potato texture. It's split down the middle and topped not with sour cream and chives, but with whipped cream. All of this rests in a base of hot fudge.
The team hotel also serves up a unique creation using Idaho's signature spud. It's called the Riverside Breakfast Potato: twice-baked potato skins stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese and diced ham.
And speaking of potatoes, today the Idaho Statesman newspaper ran a cover story on the 12,000-pound "potato" that's been traveling around the country as part of the Famous Idaho Potato Tour. The potato is actually constructed of a steel rib cage, plywood and "Hollywood concrete."
The larger than life spud will be on display at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Some of the fastest athletes here in Boise for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl just might be the smallest. They're the children of the numerous UB football coaches, staff and administrators who brought their families along so they could experience the excitement of a bowl game. There are approximately 20 children on the trip, and their moms and dads will tell you these kids can accelerate.
This morning, while the players and coaches are at day two of practice, Shannon Quinn, the wife of Bulls head coach Jeff Quinn, has arranged a craft session and game room for the kids. The hotel opened up one of its conference rooms so the kids could have an open area to burn off some steam, play games and make Christmas ornaments.
"It's nice because it gets the kids all in one room and gives them something fun to do," says Angela Spieler, whose husband Marty is an assistant coach.
UB football is truly a family. You don't spend several hours a day together half the year without getting to know the people around you pretty well. That's especially true for the UB football females--the wives of the coaching staff.
"We all get along, we all love each other, and we help each other out," Shannon says, sounding very much like the quarterback of the group. She spearheads events and ensures that her team is on the same page, whether the Bulls are at home or on the road. The group uses social media and texting trees to ensure that all the UB football females know when events are being held.
Some of the more veteran members of the group--"We call ourselves the AARP club members," Shannon says--go out of their way to help out the younger moms on the team, especially the ones with young kids. "It makes it easier on them, and takes the pressure off everybody," Shannon says.
Shannon knows what it's like to be married to a Division I football coach. "Jeff jokes that we've been married 26 years but it feels like 13 because he hasn't been around half the time," she says.
Elizabeth Bittar, a 2000 UB School of Management grad, wanted to make the trip so that her oldest son, Coleman, 3, could take in the experience. The Bittars also have a 5-month-old, Elliot. "We all know each other and the kids look forward to seeing each other," she says. "A lot of the kids have been hanging out in the players' lounge, too."

One of the perks of going to a bowl game is receiving a bunch of gear to help remember the occasion by. Each bowl provides a package of swag for the participating teams.
Wednesday evening, Buffalo players were called by class year into a hotel conference room to collect their gear. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl provided players with a package containing jackets, hats, gloves and footballs with the bowl game date and their opponent on them.
"It's rewarding. It's a blessing that we're even here," said Tedroy Lynch, a junior defensive end from Shiremanstown, Pa. "Not everybody gets to make a bowl. You've got people who go through their whole college career and never make one. We're here right now, and the more things we have to remember it by the better."
In addition to the bowl gear, the bowl's corporate sponsors also provided items such as watches and electronics from which the players could choose. While players certainly appreciated those items, they seemed far more enthused by the Potato Bowl gear, which helped put into perspective just how special this moment is for the Bulls.
"It's amazing--the jacket, the gloves--I like it all. I'm gonna wear this stuff every day for the rest of my life, until it breaks, and then I'll be sad that I broke it," said a grinning Dalton Barksdale, a junior defensive lineman from Detroit.
The Bulls return to Dona Larsen Park for practice tomorrow morning. In the evening they'll be attending the Humanitarian Awards.

The Bulls got down to business this afternoon with their first practice of the week. Practice took place outside at Boise State's Dona Larsen Park, where it felt a bit chillier than the 25-degree thermometer reading.
Still, UB players didn't seem to mind the frosty field conditions, but of course that's not surprising for a team from Buffalo. San Diego State practiced earlier in the day and may have had a tougher time, given the conditions.
Bulls coach Jeff Quinn seemed pretty happy with today's practice. He told UBBulls.com that he liked how the guys responded in their first practice.
A Boise-based sports reporter was particularly interested in interviewing Boise Ross, a freshman wide receiver from Bethlehem, Pa.

It's Day 2 in Boise and this morning 40-yard dash times didn't matter for the University at Buffalo football team. The Bulls donned helmets of a different kind and spent a few hours at Fast Lane Indoor Kart Racing. Players had the opportunity to race each other in heats of 10 competitors. Even the coaches got in on the action.
Trevor Sales, a junior offensive lineman from La Porte, Ind., clearly enjoyed his time at the track. Sporting a Fast Lane-provided racing suit, Sales zipped past his teammates to win his heat.
"Having a chance to go on those karts--they were fast as heck. It brings a little competitive spirit to the whole thing when you're racing the guys," Sales said after getting a printout of his race results. "I got first place. I think my dad would be upset if I didn't. I had to hold it down for the family name."
Fast Lane also has foosball and pool tables, in addition to some arcade games; players were also treated to lunch before heading back to the team hotel.
The team's first practice of the week is this afternoon. They'll change into practice gear at Bronco Stadium, where they'll be playing Saturday, and then head over to Dona Larsen Park, which opened in 2012 and is home to Boise State's softball and track and field programs.

After checking in at the team hotel, the Bulls boarded buses to
Wahooz Family Fun Zone for the Strikes for Spuds charity bowling
The event featured starters from both UB and their Famous Idaho Potato Bowl opponent San Diego State. Teams bowled for a local Boise charity and one from their hometown. The Bulls' efforts supported St. Luke's Mission of Mercy in Buffalo and Boise-based Life's Kitchen.
All told, the teams will donate 1,700 pounds of potatoes to the four charities.
"I got a strike. I was pretty jacked about that," says Jake Stockman, a redshirt junior linebacker from Joliet, Ill. The Aztecs proved to be the better bowlers, though, edging the Bulls 241 to 216.
Boise sports radio station 93.1 The Ticket broadcast from the event, interviewing Bulls coach Jeff Quinn, who was also interviewed by local television station KBOI-TV.
Afterward, the Bulls enjoyed a team meal at the family entertainment complex (no word on whether they ran out of food!) and played arcade games before heading back to the hotel for team meetings.
All in all, it was a good first day, Stockman says. "Above and beyond any traveling experience I've had."
Stockman and his teammates have been wowed by the hospitality they've received. "Getting a state trooper escort on the highway to the hotel, having a marching band greet us at the hotel, it's just been awesome," he said while winding down in the hotel game room. "You can already tell the entire community cares about this game."
Wednesday's events include a winter sports activity in the morning and their first practice of the week.

I really like your 'original' stripe color (from the first post) as it is very close to the one in the ESB image, while the base color is pretty good, but needs a bit of darkening. Keep up the great work!

Thanks again for all your input on this I really appreciate it.
The original stripe color I'll keep but I agree with you I need to go ah bit darker on the cloak.
What are your thoughts on going for a size 32"x32" on the overall dimensions?
This extra length may allow the fabric to lay better between the Jetpack and backplate?
What are your thoughts?
Hey Guys,
Taking some advice from Fett4Real's comment about the blanket I began doing some research and discovered there's several weights of linen light-medium-heavy etc. I wasn't aware of this and clearly used a light weight linen for my sample. I found a medium weight linen that should give the cloak more weight and hopefully more movie accuracy. The color looks pretty good. Tell me what you think?
- - - Updated - - -
The colors together.
Lookin better and better bud!
That looks great.
Looking really good
That looks really good!!
Man that looks REALLY close Christian (dare I say almost dead on...to me anyway)! Nice find!
I'll want one for sure.
Now I have to step up my game.....
Last color scheme on the computer did look about perfect. Considering the weathering to come, it should be ideal. Not to borrow on Longhammers plea for MoW boots, but I'm in the same boat as him. CABoots just don't compare.......I cant even stand looking at them due to disappointment.
hmm, I would love to find out the real material... however, my money is on a found part... I think the ESB cape was a Korea war era wool blanket.
The stripe may have been screen printed on, but lots of those blankets had different color stripes (specially red) and if it sat in the sun for too long or something it would have gone an orange color.
Just my two cents.

There has been a discussion on the Swiss army blanket before.
I know I have mentioned it before, and I bet I'm not the only one. I think its entirely possible, I mean ROTJ ended up being a Vietnam era half shelter. I think anymore talk about the wool cloak we should probably post in a separate thread.
I really like the idea of the screen printing and all of MoW's stuff is top notch.. perfect for trooping!
JimmyC and Bcurtis..great finds!
I've been looking at the wool blend fabrics as well. I think the wrinkle patterns match up as a very good possibility. I've ordered several lengths of both the heavier grade linen and a thin wool blend fabric. If it ends up being the wool blend its not gonna be cheap to make especially screen printed.
As for the next boot run I know it's been too long? I'm having difficulties with my manufacturer. They want double everything now! It's an enormous investment on top of my other gear.
I'm working these issues out as we speak and hope to have new boots in the New Year but nothing before then guys.
Keep you posted.

It all sounds great! And thanks for the boot update!
Hey Guys,
I'm in agreement with JimmyC.
I just received a good length of thin wool fabric which looks to be an excellent match for the ESB cloak. The weave looks tight enough to take a screen print without it looking fuzzy around the edges. I'm hopeful we can find the right color and get a razor sharp screen print. I'll have a new sample cloak to show you soon. Keep you posted.
I will be all over this. Thanks Christian!
Waiting with great anticipation!!
Any updates on this?

So, I see yeast is popular in pollen patties.....I brew at home anyway,
Brewers yeast adds b complex vitamins, especially good if the pollen has degraded a bit. I'm going to make some patties up tonight. I am going to add brewers yeast because I picked up a few small bags of it, and might as well use it.
FBSB said that dry sugar was best to not stimulate the hive to brood production.
My mentor said to hold off on feeding small colonies patties, but the article said to do so.
What would you recommend for a small overwintered colony finsky, patty or no patty?
I went ahead and fed a small patty to the smaller hive, because it made sense to me that if its smaller because of spring dwindle due to nosema protein would help their immune systems,
The small hive is still dropping wax cappings onto the bottom board so I know they are eating the stores daily at around the same amount.
The larger hive cluster was in the upper brood box , while the smaller hive I didn't see the cluster, I am just assuming its there by the evidence of cappings dropped.
