The teams here at Husson work together to accomplish all they set their minds to. It is an exciting event when the community gathers to support our teams.
There is a decent following for most varsity teams and the boys basketball team receives great support.
I love the sports, and the students are always supportive!
Many of the sports teams are top in their division , but fans only really attend football and basketball games. Many sports are overshadowed by these two sports.
Sports are really popular, and you will probably know at least one person on every team at some point while attending college here.

For more on this topic check out this infographic: How Energy Gets Used and Wasted in the Home»
Screen reader version:
How your house consumes energy and money
The average U.S. family spends $1,900 a year on home utility bills
Heating and cooling your home account for the largest portion (54 percent) of your utility bills
Space heating - 45%
Space cooling - 9%
Computers and electrconics - 6%
Lighting - 6%
Other - 5%
Cooking - 4%
Refrigeration - 4%
Wet cleaning - 3%
Water heating - 18%
Mapping out heat loss
Roof/attic - 25%
Windows and doors - 25%
Walls - 35%
Floor - 15%
Ways your house is losing heat
Poorly insulated attics - heat escapes from the top
Wrong-sized heating systems - Depending on your house's square footage, your furnace could be producing more heat than you need
Holes in exterior walls - gaps where windows, doors or walls weren't joined together let heat seep out
Leaky ducts - leaky ducts mean heat that is intended to keep you toasty in your living room escapes into walls instead, never making it in not the rooms you need to heat.
How insulation can help
Proper insulation lets you save more and makes better use of the energy and heat in your house
- As much as 20 percent of your energy bill can be saved by good roof insulation
- Insulation reduces the costs of heating and cooling by over 40 percent
- Wall insulation can reduce this loss by 2/3 and make your home more comfortable
- You can lose as much as 10 percent of heat through uninsulated floors
- Insulation pays for itself in around five to six years
Tips to better insulate your home
- loose-fill or batt insulation is typically installed in an attic
- Install attic air barriers such as wind baffles along the entire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the
- If the thickness of your attic insulation is less than R-30 (11 inches of fiberglass or rock wool or 8 inches of cellulose), adding more could help you
- Seal and insulated ducts in unconditioned space
- If you're building a new house, place ducts in the conditioned space to avoid the energy losses
- Do not insulate underwater tanks that may freeze
- Ensure all pipe work and the attic hatch are insulated
Windows and doors
- To reduce air leakage, caulk and weather-strip around windows
- Window treatments and coverings also help save energy
- Insulated blinds are effective at reducing heat in the summer and keeping in heat during winter
- The use of high-reflectivity films work to block summer heat gain
- Storm panels reduce winter heat loss by as much as 50 percent
Best insulating window coverings
- To lower A/C bill and block heat, the best products for insulation are cellular shades and shutters
- They create an airspace "barrier" between the window and the room
Cellular shades
- "Cells" are visible side pockets on a honeycomb shade.
- The more cells there are, the more energy efficient the shade is
- Cells traps air in the pockets which helps prevent extreme temperature changes in your home
- Very good insulators because they are the thickest, tightest fitting window coverings
- Reduces energy cost by successfully preventing the transmission of air between the window covering and the glass of
the windows
- Check your house's wall type - the kind of wall insulation you need will depend on this
- If there are cavity walls they can usually be safety filled with insulating fiber, beads or foam
- Internal insulation is highly effective for solid walls
- Consider using loose-fill or sprayed foam insulation for exterior walls
- If you're building a new house, consider structural insulated panels, insulating concrete forms and insulated concrete blocks
Floors, basement and crawlspace
- Try using insulating blankets under suspended floors
- Laying boards over concrete floors could also help
- When insulating floors above unconditioned garages, first seal all possible sources of air leakage
- Basement wall insulation is more preferable to ceiling insulation
- Interior wall insulation is a practical solution to fixing basement heat problems
- For unventilated crawlspaces, seal and insulate foundation walls
- In most parts of the U.S., insulating the exterior edge of a slab can reduce heating bills by 10 to 20%.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 54 reviews
Nice place to stay for a few night getaway. Very close to Weirs Beach and the attractions there. The beach area is small, but comfortable. Beach bar is fun and the restaurant was outstanding
The room was overlooking the lake, we had a complimentary mimosa, and our staff was exceptionally helpful. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend if staying on/near Lake Winni!
excellent although the dining room was overpriced
We booked the room same day as it was a last minute decision to extend our vacation. The staff was very helpful and so friendly. The only down side was that we were very excited to go to the beach bar but unfortunately they were closed when we finally got to head down there around 1030pm. It was a Sunday night but we thought it being a resort and the very last day of Bike Week the bar would still be open. Overall though a great stay with beautiful views and very comfortable beds!
We were there for two nights, just at the start of the summer season. It was like stepping back in time but that was part of the charm. The view from our balcony was beautiful and there was a great bar on the beach which I am sure is very lively in season.

Get the Led Out at RiverEdge Park
Last summer, these talented rockers lit up RiverEdge Park with shredding guitar, piercing vocals and a head-banging drum solo that made us feel like we were seeing Jimmy, John, Robert and John Paul back on stage. This year, they're bringing it all back, and then some. Get the Led Out's mission is to perform songs from Zeppelin's legendary albums like Led Zeppelin I-IV, Physical Graffiti and In Through the Out Door with the explosive energy the guys were known for.
Downtown Alive! American English at RiverEdge Park
Acclaimed Beatles' Tribute Band: from that very first song on the Ed Sullivan show to the last note of Abbey Road, it's a night of hit after bloody hit from Chicago's very own American English.

If you've never experienced 7th Heaven's world-famous "30 Songs in 30 Minutes" medley, get ready to be knocked off your feet. And if you have, you know what these guys are capable of. Set up your lawn chair, crack that cold one and get ready to sing along to your favorite hits from yesterday, today and maybe even the future… who knows what tunes these guys are going to bust out at the Park.
Alan Jackson with Lauren Alaina at RiverEdge Park
Alan Jackson ranks as one of the 10 best-selling male vocalists of all-time in all genres. He is one of the most successful and respected singer-songwriters in country music.

Production of humic acids from oil palm empty fruit bunch by submerged fermentation with Trichoderma viride: Cellulosic substrates and nitrogen sources
The novelty of this study was to produce humic acids by submerged fermentation of empty fruit bunch (EFB) with Trichoderma viride and to investigate the effects of the cellulosic substrates and the organic sources of nitrogen on the biotechnological production of these acids. The results obtained indicate the potential application of EFB, a waste of oil palm processing, for humic acids production. Because EFB contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, fermentations were also performed using these polymers as carbon sources, separately or in combination. After 120 h of fermentation, significant production of humic acids was observed only in cultures containing either EFB or a mixture of the three polymers. Use of either potato peptone or yeast extract as a nitrogen source yielded nearly identical patterns of fungal growth and production of humic acids. The data obtained from microscopic imaging of T. viride growth and sporulation in EFB, coupled with the determined rates of production of humic acids indicated that the production of these acids is related to T. viride sporulation. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 29:631–637, 2013

This is a photo of my wife's great-great-grandparents, Charles & Emma (DIETER) MORAN, and three of their children. The child on the left is her great-grandfather, Fred MORAN, born in 1891. Basing the date off of the children, this photo was probably taken in about 1900. The other two children are probably the twins, Alma & Allan. Charles was one of the first Moran children of Robert & Dorothea (COOK) MORAN to be born in Wisconsin. The rest were born in Quebec, Canada as Robert & Dorothea must have immigrated there from Ireland and later married. There were a lot of Irish immigrants in that specific area of Quebec.

About Brian Zalewski
I started genealogy research about mid-1999. My grandfather had passed away in April of that year. Since then I've done a lot of research not only for myself, but for friends and other relatives. In 2006, I married the love of my life, Darcy, and welcomed the birth of our daughter, Aerissa Jean, in 2010 and our son, Xander Lee, in 2012. I can't wait to tell them stories about all of their ancestors.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
How Truth Slips Down the Memory Hole

"The great crimes against most of humanity", wrote the American cultural critic James Petras, "are justified by a corrosive debasement of language and thought...[that] have fabricated a linguistic world of terror, of demons and saviours, of axes of good and evil, of euphemisms" designed to disguise a state terror that is "a gross perversion" of democracy, liberation, reform, justice. In his reinauguration speech, George Bush mentioned all these words, whose meaning, for him, is the dictionary opposite."

7 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
This microwave has been everything I expected it and more. I'm a sinlge guy and use it a lot, everyday actually. I must admit I was a little hesitant at first just because there wasn't a single review. But the microwave works like a woder. Very powerful, big enought for anything. And lots of options and preset settings, (still haven't learned them all, but they're there). One thing I love about it is that whatever time the package indicates, is exactly the time it takes to get done and cooked to perfection. Hasn't failed once so far. We'll see how long it lasts for.
this is a larger microwave w/more power and costs about the same or less than many smaller models.
we have been pleased with its fuctionality and appearance
The microwave is still going strong heating my leftovers in three minutes. Time will tell the true Durability and Value for this Product. I am happy so far....
I have never heard a microwave that makes this much noise when running. It sounds like something is loose inside and rattles, hums "extreamly" loud, and occasionally makes popping noices. As soon as I can get someone to help me load it, I will be taking it back. mossyoaktruck
This is a great microwave for the price! It's quiet and has large capacity. It's a little bigger than I had anticipated and takes up a lot of counter space. But it's good looking and easy to keep clean. The instruction manual is a little hard to follow, but the oven cooks anything I need, even barbecue spareribs! Just wish the keyboard lit up for easier viewing and had a 30-second button. But all in all, it's good value for the money.
This is a great looking unit, my wife loves the design, has more power than my last 1000 unit. Easy to operate my 8 year old grand daughter has no problem using it. Would recommend this unit to any one looking for an inexpensive replacement.
owned for just one month...but I LOVE IT..i will have a more precise answer in a few months ;o)

A fake news show on Comedy Central that was once really quite funny, similar to Weekend Update on SNL. However, it steadily became less and less about general news and on-location segments with crazy people, and instead became more and more about just politics, until it was little more than left wing propaganda and frankly not even remotely funny. This change was largely due to the application of the Jon Stewart formula.
Man1: Do you remember when The Daily Show used to be funny?
Man2: Just barely. I have some very foggy memories in the back of my head of what The Daily Show was like before it started sucking bigtime.

A show that used to be great. Jon Stewart was always funny, and it had Stephen Colbert as a field reporter. Then, Colbert left and The Daily Show got way too serious. Instead of clever written jokes, Stewart resorted to saying Bush is stupid a million different ways. The show is occasionally funny, just not as good as it used to be. Also, there are people who watch this to get their real news. If you watch it as a comedy program, that's fine(even though it isn't as funny anymore.) If you watch this show to get your news and opinions on things, you should be shot.
The Daily Show used to be great but now it is just average. The Colbert Report is much funnier, watch that.

The Rough Guide to the Energy Crisis
Climate Change is forcing us to re-think our use of fossil fuels - the oil, coal, and gas that we have depended upon for generations. A rising global population means that there is an unprecedented level of demand on the world's energy resources. And there are still desperately poor areas of the world that remain unconnected to a national grid. The Rough Guide to the Energy Crisis examines these important issues, and explains the many challenges facing energy today, and explores possible solutions.
-Energy today: We take our energy for granted. But what do we use, and where does it come from?
-Peak Oil: How long do we have before oil production peaks? Has it peaked already?
-Renewables: Can wind turbines, solar panels, and wave and tidal power really keep the lights on?
-Nuclear: How safe are the power plants? And can you be a pro-nuclear green?
-Climate Change: Our energy use has environmental consequences. Are their technological answers? And can our lifestyles adapt?
Keeping the planet safe while keeping the world moving is perhaps the most important challenge we currently face. The Rough Guide to the Energy Crisis examines the many sides of this problem, and how it could be approached, with erudition and accessibility.less

This invention relates to laser systems and, more particularly, to laser systems for measuring the height of clouds.
There are many requirements for laser systems both for military and commercial uses. One such application is to accurately measure the ceiling at airports. These cloud height finders or ceilometers may be required at all airports and because of the proximity to general segments of the population, it is necessary that such ceilometers present no danger to them. The greatest potential danger is eye damage from the laser radiation.
It has been determined that the absorption of laser radiation by the ocular fluid varies with wavelength. For 1.06 μm lasers, the wavelength most commonly used in current laser systems, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE--the permitted fluence at the cornea) is approximately 0.5�10-6 J/cm2. Thus, systems employing 1.06 μm lasers must limit their emissions to this amount. Compatible silicon photodiodes are highly efficient, yet with the low emission limitation, signal to noise ratio of relatively low cost systems employing 1.06 μm lasers may not suffice for cloud height finding applications.
In order to overcome the low MPE of the 1.06 μm lasers, other wavelengths have been investigated. It is known that laser radiation of λ1.4 μm is absorbed by the corneal fluid so that (in general) it is not imaged on the retina. Laser sources whose radiation is thus absorbed are called "retinal safe". The absorption of the corneal fluid varies with wavelength in this region, but in all cases it is sufficiently high to result in a much higher allowable corneal irradiance. Ocular damage can occur in this region, but the mechanism is quite different from damage in the corneal transparent region. Absorption in the corneal fluid raises its temperature and can eventually result in irreversible biological damage. The threshold for this type of damage is much higher than for damage in the corneal transparent region.
Because of the greater allowable corneal irradiance, retinal safe lasers can emit higher energies at the exit aperture than lasers in the corneal transparent region, while maintaining eyesafe operation.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,963,347 to Segre et al teaches the use of an Erbium laser ceilometer which utilizes an Erbium:glass laser emitting at 1.54 μm. This device offers the advantage of an eye-safe system, but has never been successfully implemented due to difficulties with the laser.
Erbium doped glass, emitting at 1.54 μm, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,446,657 to Quelle, was the first laser developed specifically for eyesafe applications. This is a "three level" laser material which utilizes the 4 I13/2 -4 I15/2 transition of the Er3+ ion.
The 4 I13/2 level of Er3+ is difficult to pump (the excited level above 4 I13/2 do not relax rapidly to this level), and the three level nature of the transition requires a high upper level population. The best performance of this laser has been obtained by sensitizing Er doped phosphate glasses with Yb3+ and by providing an outer cladding for the rod (consisting of Nd3+ and Yb3+) which absorbs some of the pump radiation and converts it to radiation absorbed by the central core of active material.
In spite of this optimization, Er:Glass lasers exhibit very high pulsed thresholds (typically 200 joules input per pulse) and require flashlamp pulsewidths of approximately 3 ms. The long flashlamp pulsewidth is required because of the slow pumping rate of the upper laser level and to better match the spectral output of the lamp with the Yb3+ absorption at 1 micrometer. The long flashlamp pulsewidth has several detrimental effects including:
a. a very heavy and complex pulse forming network with large (electrolytic) capacitors and inductors required;
b. the likelihood of multiple pulsing in Q-switched operation is greatly enhanced because of the long flash duration and the slow transfer time; and
c. the amplitude of the laser output is difficult to control because the thermal input results in thermal stress and thermal lensing.
The latter property can result in focusing of the high power O-switched radiation inside the resonator with the attendant likelihood of laser damage. Solid state lasers pumped with shorter flashlamp pulses (1-200 μs) and at lower input energies, do not exhibit this behavior because the output occurs before the thermal induced distortion can propagate throughout the crystal and the thermal load is lower.
In addition to these difficulties, the clad phosphate based glass is extremely difficult to fabricate with low scattering and reproducibly low laser damage threshold.
Er:Glass is, thus, not an effective material for use in laser ceilometers.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved eye-safe laser cloud height finder.
Because of the disadvantages of Er:Glass as an effective eye-safe laser for cloud height finders, it became necessary to investigate other laser materials for ceilometer applications. In this investigation Er:LiYF4 at 1.73 μm was considered. However, generally, it was disregarded by the experts because high efficient detectors at this wavelength were unavailable. Ge compatible detectors have such a low absorption coefficient at 1.73 μm that it was not thought possible that they could provide sufficient speed of response and sensitivity for this application.
This disregard of Er:LiYF4 at 1.73 μm for cloud height finding applications proved in error since it was not realized that the return signal from clouds, as contrasted to hard targets, is temporarily long due to the spatial extent of the target. The Ge detectors, thus, would provide sufficient signal strength for these applications since their signal output rises substantially for longer inputs thereto.
The preferred cloud height finder system, thus, includes a Er:LiYF4 laser transmitting 1.73 μm radiation skyward, means for collecting return radiation from the clouds and a Ge detector.
The above-mentioned and other features and objects of this invention will become more apparent by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a cloud height finder measuring system;
FIG. 2 is an energy level diagram of Er:LiYF4 ; and
FIG. 3 is a plot of the upper level lifetime versus concentration and temperature for Er:LiYF4.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated thereby a cloud height finder comprising a transmitter including a Q-switched Er:LiYF4 laser 10 so configured to emit radiation at 1.73 μm. The output from transmitter 10 is directed skyward to measure cloud heights. The output from the transmitter is redirected toward the sky by a pair of fold mirrors 12 and 14. Of course, other means can be employed to redirect the beam from laser 10 such as prisms.
The redirected radiation from laser 10 is applied to diverging optics 15 to generate a beam 16 which is radiated upwardly. The beam 16 is diverged to maintain a fluence level of less than 10 mJ/cm2 at any point in the beam, which provides eyesafe operation. When beam 16 encounters a cloud 18 it reflects therefrom as beam 20.
The return beam 20 is received by a mirror 22 which directs it to a detector 24. Detector 24 is preferably a Ge detector which is wavelength compatible with the Er:LiYF4 laser, is inexpensive and provides ample output signal because of the nature of the target as discussed hereinbefore.
An amplifier 26 amplifies the signal from detector 24, and provides an output 28 which is used to measure the time between transmission of beam 16 and reception of beam 20 to permit calculation of the height of cloud 18.
The laser 10 includes a rod 30 disposed in a resonant cavity defined by mirrors 32 and 34. A Q-switch 36 is also disposed within the resonant cavity. The rod 30 is pumped by a flashlamp 38. The electronics for flashlamp 38 and Q-switch 36 is omitted, however, as it is conventional.
The laser rod 30 comprises a LiYF4 host material with preferably between 1 to 7.5% Er3+ substituted at the Y3+ site in the crystal. This range of Er3+ concentration has good absorption of the pump radiation and an upper level lifetime sufficiently long to permit flashlamp pulses on the order of 100 microseconds. Higher concentrations will require shorter lamp pulses which will result in impractically short flashlamp life. Lower concentrations reduce pumping efficiency requiring larger energy inputs which can also reduce lamp life.
Mirror 34 is 100% reflecting at the transmitting wavelength of 1.73 μm while transmitting on the order of 30% at 0.85 μm and 1.23 μm. Mirror 32 is partially transmitting at 1.73 μm (approximately 5-10%) while transmitting approximately 30% at 0.85 μm and 1.23 μm. The 30% transmission of the mirrors 32 and 34 prevent competitive laser oscillations at 0.85 μm and 1.23 μm from the common upper laser level which is required because these other wavelengths may not be eye-safe. Alternatively, instead of providing two mirrors having 30% transmissivity at the undesired wavelengths, one of the mirrors may be 50% transmissive.
Q-switch 36 is preferably a LiNbO3 Q-switch for generating a normal 100 ns output pulse.
Er:LiYF4 is preferred as the laser for this system since like Er:Glass, Er:LiYF4 laser is "eye safe" and utilizes erbium as the active ion.
However, Er:LiYF4 much more resembles Md:YAG than Er:Glass in that:
a. it is a "four level" transition;
b. it does not rely on sensitization;
c. it is pumped by short flashlamp pulses; and
d. it has a low threshold of operation.
Properties (a), (b) and (c) are desirable in order to eliminate the tendency to multiple pulsing that is observed in long transfer time lasers such as Er:Glass. The "four level" nature of the laser transition results in an independence of the population inversion to temperature. The specific gain (stimulated emission cross section) and the upper level fluorescence lifetime exhibit a weak dependence with temperature. As a result the laser output is far less sensitive to temperature than is the case with a "three level" laser with a thermally occupied terminal level such as Er:Glass or Ho:αLiYF4.
The spectroscopy of Er3+ in LiYF4 has been investigated in detail. The level diagram of Er3+ is shown in FIG. 2. The 1730 nm laser transition in LiYF4 utilizes the 4 S3/2 -4 I9/2 transition; the terminal manifold (4 I9/2) is far removed from the ground state and so its thermal population is negligible. The transition is a true four level laser. The pump bands for Er:LiYF4 extend from about 0.20-0.530 μm and couple efficiently to the emission of Xe flashlamps. All the pump bands relax to the upper laser level very rapidly (≦1 μs).
In LiYF4 arbitrary amounts (up to 100%) of Er3+ can be substituted for Y3+ without degradation of crystalline quality. Since the 1.73 μm transition is four level, the active ion density does not affect threshold inversion. However, the Er3+ concentration does affect pumping efficiency and fluorescence lifetime as discussed hereinbefore. FIG. 3 shows the upper level lifetime vs concentration and temperature. In the region of room temperature, the temperature dependence is weak and the concentration dependence strong.
The range of useful active ion concentrations for the 1.73 μm transition has been found to be between 1.0% and 10% Er at room temperature. At this doping level, the upper level lifetime varies between approximately 300 μs and 25 μs. The optimum concentration depends on the desired energy output and flashlamp life.
While the system described is generally eye safe, it does not meet the class I standards; however, these can be met merely by expanding the beam 16 to maintain the fluence below the class I limit at the exit aperture of the device. Also, the various components illustrated are only exemplary and other functionally equivalent components can be substituted therefor. Thus, it is to be understood that the embodiment shown is illustrative only, and that many variations and modifications may be made without departing from the principles of the invention herein disclosed and defined by the appended claims.
