Ruxi Zhang '14 came to Macalester seeking a rigorous academic experience with small classes, close interaction with professors, and intensive writing and critical thinking challenges. What she found in four years at Macalester laid the foundation for her next step: graduate school in political science at Stanford University.
Zhang, who grew up in Beijing, attended high school in Canada to develop English fluency. She applied to liberal arts colleges because she wanted small class sizes—and the interaction with her professors proved invaluable, from one-on-one help in her Russian classes to advice on graduate school and career paths. That support, in and out of the classroom, has given her confidence and shaped her own future: Zhang would like to someday become a professor at a research university. Says the international studies and Russian studies double major: "I would love to teach."

Owner was on premises and proved to be informative and helpful.Hostel is exceptionally clean and has good washing and toilet facilities, but a kitchenette would help. Light breakfast provided.

Suppose I have two vectors of the same size
vector< pair<float, NodeDataID> > v1, v2; I want to compute how many elements from both v1 and v2 have the same NodeDataID. For example if
v1 = {<3.7, 22>, <2.22, 64>, <1.9, 29>, <0.8, 7>}, and
v2 = {<1.66, 7>, <0.03, 9>, <5.65, 64>, <4.9, 11>}, then I want to return 2 because there are two elements from v1 and v2 that share the same NodeDataIDs: 7 and 64.
What is the quickest way to do that in C++ ?
Just for information, note that the type
NodeDataIDs is defined as I use boost as:
typedef adjacency_list<setS, setS, undirectedS, NodeData, EdgeData> myGraph;
typedef myGraph::vertex_descriptor NodeDataID;
But it is not important since we can compare two NodeDataID using the operator == (that is, possible to do
v1[i].second == v2[j].second)

I would not "buy, buy, buy" a gap-up based off a Cramer pump, but that's just me
ceo did not do a good job selling ittake your profits, re-enter lowerhave a good day!
price is pumped up, it'll sell off early then you can buy
cramer pumped it up, it'll come down and then buy
it got pumped too high by cramer, it'll come down
No need to pay up for this. It'll be up on Cramer pump, then come down in the morning. a buying opportunity will emerge
Watch for the typical Cramer selloff at the opening bell, then a buying opportunity should emergegood luck!
then buy back at the closeit had a big run up off a cramer pump yesterday, which usually means a big down day todayof course if you're up good on it you may want to ride it outat any rate, should be interesting

Skip to comments.Napier Brings It Home For Uconn
Posted on 04/08/2014 4:13:00 AM PDT by Biggirl
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Shabazz Napier walked slowly through the hallway of the stadium - the tears still drying, the twine from the cut-down net still hanging around his neck.
"Bittersweet. Bittersweet. Bittersweet," he said, over and over again.
Bitter because it's over. Sweet because UConn won it all after being left behind and told to go away.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
So the sec got shut out..........................what a shame *snicker*
A win for the AAC conference.
Ironic to hear ESPN analysts blather on and on, in wonderment, about UConn's rise from nothing in the past 25 years - all without recognizing that having ESPN in the same town is probably the single biggest factor in UConn's rise.
That, and whatever marketing genius started calling the school UCONN and not Connecticut.
Proud UCONN grad here, congratulations to a fine team. It's especially sweet to beat Calipari.
ESPN is in Bristol CT, 50 miles from UCONN. The school has been known as UCONN since at least the '50's
I was generalizing to make a point, and you'll shame yourself if you try and deny a couple of things. Both Bristol and Storrs are part of Greater Hartford - and there was no doubt that both the Hartford Whalers and Connecticut were sort of the "hometown teams" of the early ESPN staff. The culture of UCONN and ESPN are intertwined. That's undeniable.
As far as the 50's, nobody outside of the area knew about the moniker UCONN until ESPN made it famous in the 80s. To say otherwise is absurd.
I was hoping Wisconsin would get to the finals. I am glad for UCONN. The Kentucky team this year was boring. All they do is layups for most of the game. They can not perform jump shots, although they won their previous two games by scoring three's in the final seconds. The rest of their points came from under the basket. Boring.
So what exactly is your point?
That ESPN assisted in the recruiting? OK. So what?
Lots of schools have recruiting edges that they use. It still has to get done on the court, doncha think?
It became University of Connecticut in 1939, by which time the nickname Huskies was already in use. Local use of UConn dates to then. Natural that outsiders like ESPN staff would adopt local usage whenthey moved there.
How many know the University of Minnesota's 'Ski-U-Mah' shtick? Had ESPN based in Minneapolis, I bet everyone would know it by now.
First of all, I'm sorry you're so paranoid as to think there was some kind of sinister point - some kind of way to try and detract from UConn. You should go back to bed for a couple more hours.
The point is that simply UConn, ESPN and The Big East grew up together and it all worked to help each institution. That's a fact. To me, it's interesting. It's also interesting how Connecticut became UCONN in the past couple of decades - and in this era of marketing and image, I wonder how important that has been.
Sometimes the simple things make a huge difference. I remember when Clemson changed their logo to the simple Tiger Paw. Their athletic program took off. I just find it interesting. If you don't, sorry ..you miss part of the richness of these things.
I do find it funny that Mike and Mike, at ESPN, can't connect these dots. Then again, they miss a lot of dots.
Yes, I agree that was my point ESPN in a lot of ways made UCONN. There's nothing wrong with that. Weather makes Southern Cal. Demographics makes Texas Longhorns. There are all kind of advantages and little cold dreary NY bedroom Connecticut had no advantages til they became UCONN and ESPN made them famous.
In 1959 I lived 10 miles from UCONN as it was known then. Don't speak about things you know nothing about. The fact that you were unaware that it was known as UCONN says more about your awareness than it does about the university. Conflating an NHL team with a university 30 miles from Hartford is more than odd.
You so miss the point. I'm talking about how the rest of the nation views the school, thus since you live there, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT what I am talking about. You see the trees .I am talking about the forest.
And outside the forest, the U of Connecticut had zero visibility - ZERO - until the confluence of ESPN, the Big East, and the national marketing of the word UCONN all combined. If you deny this, your are simply living in an ignorant parallel universe.
I never said what drug dealers in beautiful downtown Hartford thought about it .don't care. And yes, the Whalers analogy is apt. And for your info, 30 miles outside Hartford is still greater Hartford. Perhaps you are stuck in 1955.
BTW, I know a lot about the state for someone not from there. Had relatives most of my life in Glastonbury, and visited numerous times. Spent a lot of time at Mystic.
Did a big report on the state in school. Spent many weeks in Hartford in the 80s related to the insurance industry .many full weeks .even became a regular at "Piggys" - a well known insurance related watering hole downtown. For a non resident, I know more than most ..but again, that's almost not relevant, because my point was now the other 49 states viewed the school, and had little or nothing to do with how locals did.
First of all, Im sorry youre so paranoid as to think there was some kind of sinister point - some kind of way to try and detract from UConn. You should go back to bed for a couple more hours.
All for asking you what your point was? Had you made your point clear in your initial post, you wouldn't get these types of posts in return.
Consider it constructive feedback on your writing skills (apparently I wasnt the only one to fail to see your point).
Have a nice day, sir.
If you go to the UConn boards you will find that folks there think that ESPN doesn't like them and didn't help them.
Anyway ESPN was a big part of the growth of the Big East Basketball and college basketball in general. But know without its football teams the BE is down.
Now let's get the baseball to the world series, and the new hockey conference to the frozen four next year and Bob Darco, the new football coach, lets win the FBS.
You mean Football and Basketball Championships?
..."Proud UCONN grad here, congratulations to a fine team. Its especially sweet to beat Calipari"...
Proud UK grad here. We are elated about the performance late in the season of our starting five freshman who could not overcome your veterans last night. We are just sorry that we will lose too many of them to the pros so that they will not ever become college veterans. Like him or hate him, Calipari is a great coach but this is not about him. This is about the energy, skill and commitment of great young athletes on both sides. I don't know about yours, but ours are also great kids, in general. Congratulations to the UCONN players, coach and fans. It was a great win for them.
They are great kids at UK. My wife was once a neighbor of Calipari when he was at UMASS. He was a very bad neighbor. This is obviously not about that issue but its hard for us feel good about him.
You approach the issue with a mind uncluttered by the facts or relevant experience. You maintain a death grip on your erroneous first assertion even in the face of correction by those who know. If its okay with you we'll just know you as C. Edmund Wrong
Ever hear of making free throws, KY??? You stand on the line, no one is guarding you, and you throw the ball into the basket. It's not as sexy as dunking, but it would have won the national championship for you last night ..an excellent object lesson for coaches to share with their players.
I am right - UConn was NOT A KNOWN ENTITY outside your little Hartford slum until the 80s. In fact, they really didn't use that for their football team until the 90s - when Skip Holtz was hired, he was still hired as coach of "Connecticut" and not UConn. The two basketball teams were way ahead in using that moniker.
I don't know, and do not care, what people in Hartford called it. That was not my point, never ever. I'm sorry this is too hard for your teeny little brainlette to consider. I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU and I'm not talking about the 1950s. GET OFF MY LAWN
ESPN might not have been helpful in the major conference issue .but that doesn't change the fact that ESPN, The Big East, and UConn all were very good for each other and all grew up together.
The BE problem in football however was not ESPN it's demographics. Simply put, football is a big school big stadium big money sport, and the massive schools in the Big Ten, SEC, etc, will always dominate. The BE was defying gravity in that regard, and now the ACC is to some extent too.
Aren't they playing tonight for the women's champ?
That's perhaps true ..my main point was that ESPN's Mike and Mike were clueless as to what had led UConn's amazing rise from nowhere to 4 titles in 16 years ..and their employer ESPN was one of the main factors along with the Big East in general, hiring the right coach, and then the right replacment coach, the right womens coach, and using UCONN as the marketing moniker. I think you take any of that away, and the results are very different.
It will be interesting to see if they can stay at this level with this new smaller conference.
Exactly. Oregon doesn't have an advantage with the Swoosh Company's close ties and promotions?
Yes they are
Enjoy your delusion, keep it close. No one else wants it anyway.
you're an obtuse idiot
Name a SINGLE THING I said that was wrong .and be warned, don't say "people around here called it UConn in the 50s" - because I MADE NOT A SINGLE COMMENT ABOUT WHAT LOCALS CALLED IT IN THE 50s. If you can't figure that out, then your reading comprehension is exposed.
Duke is projected as the number 1 preseason favorite next year, and with 4 starters returning Wisconsin most likely a pre-season number 2. Look for a Bo Ryan repeat next season, and maybe even a championship.
When I went to work in Chicago in 1973 I told the recruiter that I went to UCONN. He knew what I meant as did my co-workers. I encountered maybe one or two people who needed it explained to them that it was shorthand for the Univerity of Connecticut.
I needed it explained to me that in Chicago, "UCLA" meant University of Chicago Located on Austin.
Sorry, your assertion fails the reality test.
..."They are great kids at UK. My wife was once a neighbor of Calipari when he was at UMASS. He was a very bad neighbor. This is obviously not about that issue but its hard for us feel good about him"...
I'm sorry to hear that. He is King here and we know of nothing but praise for him and especially praise for his charitable work and contribution. People sometimes change, you know. We hear that he is a hard disciplinarian for the kids who play for him, but some other coaches are, as well. Anyway, congratulations and good luck in the future. You can be very proud of your team..It is not easy to win the big one.
One anectodal story, which may be BS - is not relevant.Like you remember what you said in 73? You're an old unhappyfart.
Besides I never said that people wouldn't be able to figure out what it meant DUH ..I stand by the fact that UConn athletics was totally irrelevant, and NOT known as UConn until the 80s and 90s and only became known as such nationally. You're just wrong to think otherwise.
I've encountered your type before but generally by this time of the afternoon, they're napping with their blankies. Generally people whose knee-jerk reaction is someone is lying is not someone to be trusted. I'm sure you've heard this before but you're a crashing bore.
I think the ugly American came from Connecticut .I know the biggest as-hole in our family did.
I remember around 1980 hearing a St. John's vs. UConn basketball game on the radio. The announcers where St. John's announcers. They referred to UConn as "UConn". I specifically remember the person I was with in the car thinking it was "Yukon".
Interesting: The more widespread use of the name UConn started about the time the Big East came into being, at least in basketball - which was 1979 I believe. So you heard one of the early uses of it outside of Hartford.
For whatever reason, and it may be that the Big East did not have football for a while, the football team was not really referred to as UConn til later, at least out in the country at large. UMass, not being in the Big East, and being in a pro dominated market - did not become the program that UConn has become, altho they probably were a little ahead of UConn in some of the 80s. UConn kept Calhoun, UMass was never able to keep big name coaches.
UMass had Calipari if you remember. Nowadays he's a great recruiter, but in my view not as good an X's and O's coach, which is why I picked UConn to win.
What's interesting about the nickname Huskies is that it originated back when the school was called Connecticut St. College before 1939. Thus it has nothing to do with the UConn Huskies sounding like "Yukon" Huskies.
Yes, I do remember Calipari at UMass - and a very controversial loss to Kentucky and Pitino, setting up "the game" - Kentucky Duke and the Laettner shot. At that point, UMass was ahead of UConn in building a program, but the Big East developed so fast that UConn, Syracuse and Georgetown eventually passed Nova and St. Johns, who were probably the top programs when the league was formed - and now UMass is almost an afterthought.
And yes, Ollie out X and O'd Calipari in that game - but doggone it, those two guards can make a coach look brilliant!!
And yes, the Yukon/UConn Huskie thing was a very happy accident for UConn.
Mr. Wright has demonstrated over and over the strange fascination with the idea that ESPN created UConn basketball success somehow.
Sir, CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION. Jesus, man, your points are so devoid of evidence or actual historical truth my head is spinning. UConn football, such as it was, was "UConn" (actually it used to be "UCONN" until the change to "UConn" last year) for many, many decades. To state otherwise is ridiculous - and is the strangest thing to hold on to as an argument as I've read in a long time. (A simple google search of "UConn 1965" will help you get past your error.)
I'll agree, ESPN is in CT. 50 miles and a shitstorm of traffic jams and farmland away from Storrs. They did air Big East basketball games during the school's rise from basketball obscurity. Fine.
But if you think that more than maybe 2 kids went to school in the polar vortex of nowheresville known as Storrs (I'm a proud alum) because a (really not all that huge in the 90's) cable station that never owned rights to the NCAA tournament was HQ's 50 miles away, you're nuts. Hartford lost the Whalers when ESPN had NHL rights. UConn was royally screwed over - over and over- by conference realignments recently. ESPN sponsors nothing in Storrs and nothing in Hartford. NOTHING.
UConn was on ESPN just a few times this year.
I realize I"m late to the game here, but this conversation was annoying me. Sorry.
late to the game and a poor reader ..never ever ever ever ever said ESPN created UConns success I said like three times that UCONN, ESPN and The Big East all grew up together, and the relationship was great for all three entities.
If you deny that, you are a fool.
The SI article makes my case, clearly calls them "Connecticut" over and over, and only once mentions "the Uconns" - which is NOT how it's used today - casually.
Thanks for the support.
Look, you are taking personally what is just an observation - and so it helps UConn to be close to Bristol? That's not deniable. I never quantified how much it helps, no way to do it. It helps U of Texas that the name of the school is also the name of the state that is the king of college football talent. It helps Alabama that there is little else to do in Bama but cheer for the Tide. So what? It is what it is, and it doesn't mitigate their accomplishments.
It helps the Yankees that their fan base is a natural 25 million within driving distance of the stadium, whereas the Brewers and the Reds have just a tiny sliver of that. These social, demographic, media things damned sure do matter.
Why you take it personal is beyond me. It clouds your judgement.

Cast notes
The film was a major production for its time, with an estimate budget of $782,000. [5]
In his 1983 book Classics of the Silent Cinema, radio and TV host Joe Franklin claimed this film was "the first American epic not directed by Griffith".[4]
In the 1980 documentary Hollywood: A Celebration of American Silent Cinema, Jesse L. Laskey Jr. maintained that the goal of director James Cruze was " ... to elevate the Western, which had always been sort of a potboiler kind of film, to the status of an epic."[6]
The film required a large cast and film crew and many extras,[7] and was filmed in various locations, including Palm Springs, California[8]:168-71 and several places in Nevada and Utah.[9] The dramatic buffalo hunt and buffalo stampede scenes were filmed on Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake, Utah. During filming for the movie, seven bison from the Antelope Island Bison Herd were shot and killed.
Significantly, the covered wagons gathered by Paramount from all over the Southwest were not replicas, but the real wagons that had brought the pioneers west. They were cherished heirlooms of the families who owned them. The producers offered the owners $2 a day and feed for their stock if they would bring the wagons for the movie. Most of the extras seen on film are the families who owned the covered wagons and were perfectly at home driving them and living out of them during the production.[10]
The film premiered in New York City on 16 March 1923 and ran 98 minutes. A musical soundtrack was recorded in the short-lived DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process, but sources vary on whether this record soundtrack was of the entire score or about two reels worth of the film. The Phonofilm version of the film was only shown this way at the premiere at the Rivoli Theater in New York City.[11] Paramount reportly also released Bella Donna on 1 April 1923 with a Phonofilm soundtrack, also only at the premiere at the Rivoli.
The film was the most popular movie of 1923 in the US and Canada.[12]

Before you set off on a tour around Israel, make sure you have the relevant Cycle Training - its a few days in the saddle, so you need to have the technique right (or it'll hurt!)
Marin county starts begins cycling speed enforcement program
The park officials of Marin County introduced a new bicycle speed control curriculum on open space roads this week, stationing 2 staffers with radar-type devices in places that have rendered public safety charges.
Officials waffled to qualify the move as a clamp down, choosing instead to call it a pilot event that initially would be targeted at educating trail users.
Wiggo Beats Viral Attack To Triumph At First Time-Trial With Rainbow Jersey
Great news for the fans of Bradley Wiggins- the 2012 Tour France champion won his 1st time-trial with rainbow jersey at the esteemed race of 3 Days of De Panne hosted at Belgium.
The brave heart braved a serious viral attack & antibiotics and pleased everybody once again with a spectacular victory.

Podium finish for Tyler Farrar

He took the second position from Michelton Winery till Nagambie which was a 147 km ride. Quick across the line was Caleb Evan from Australia however in the lead was Cameron Meyer. The break was quick and quite clear.
3 minutes lead helped the group of six to reach on the wet roads. At the front of the peloton, Nic Dougall and Songezo Jim showed the stripes. The chase was important.
Alberto Contador To Focus On Tour de France and Giro d'Italia
Alberto Contador (Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank) is all ready to focus on both Tour de France and Giro d'Italia next cycling season. Bjarne Riis (Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank's manager) has recently revealed that Contador wants to win both the grand tours in 2015.
The 2014 Vuelta a Espana was won by Alberto Contador. Contador had also been a part of the other two grand tours namely- Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in the year 2011. He had won Giro d'Italia but then in the Tour de France 2011 his performance was not up to the mark and he stood fifth in the overall standings.
Hour Record Will Be Set By Bradley Wiggins
Ole Ritter who holds the hour record formerly presumes that Bradley Wiggins will set the record that is going to be iconic with the 55 kilometre mark.
A distance will be set by him that he is going to follow. The challenge which is going to undertake is called as the track challenge. It will prove that his rivals will not be able to undertake the challenge if he completes it successfully.
Millar is Eager to Enjoy Cycling Again
David Miller is a Scottish cyclist who retired from his professional cycling career in the month of October this year. He ended his eighteen year professional cycling career after the 2014 Bec CC Hill Climb. Millar was privileged enough to wear the leader's jersey during his career in the three cycling Grand Tours. Along with that, Miller has also won stages in all three tours- Giro d'Italia (one stage), Vuelta a Espana (five stages) and Tour de France (four stages). In 2007, he was the British national road champion.
Vuelta Espana 2014 Concludes With Contador As Overall Winner
Vuelta Espana 2014 has concluded after 3 eventful weeks with Contador as the overall winner. It marked the 3rd Vuelta Espana win for the star Spaniard.
The second position was bagged by Tour France 2013 champ Chris Froome. It was another major grand tour performance by the Team Sky rider.
The thrilling 3-week race, which is widely said to be the best of grand tours for the year, finalized with 9.7 km time trial at Galicia – albeit Froome's scope of beating race lead Contador were minimal.
It will be Tour of Britain for Bradley Wiggins
Sir Bradley Wiggins is all set to defend the title of Tour of Britain according to Sir Dave Brailsford, the boss of Team Sky rather than competing in Vuelta a Espana. But he said later on that he might consider riding in Vuelta a Espana for the preparation in Spain for Road World Championship.
Cavendish Worried About Sparse Participation Of Brit riders in 2014 Tour France
Tour France 2014 might be starting off in England but ironically this year there would be just 4 Brit riders. The English riders are naturally disappointed and leading British cyclist Mark Cavendish has already expressed great worries about sparse participation of Brit riders in Tour France this year.
This is the 2nd time in 8 years that Tour France officials decided to commence the most esteemed cycling event of the world from UK. It's naturally a matter of great delight for the British cycling enthusiasts & hence Cavendish expected more number of British riders at the tour.
Geraint Thomas happy to ride for team mates
Welshman Geraint Thomas has said that he is happy and will be more than willing to help his team mates at Team Sky, Sir Bradley Wiggins and Edvald Boassan Hagen at the Paris-Roubaix which is scheduled to take place this week.

Vt. says hunters spend $292M every year
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife says hunters contribute $292 million to the states economy every year.
The state says a survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Census Bureau determined that hunters spend $39 million on travel, $190 million on equipment and $62 million on other items.
Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry says hunting is also especially important because much of it occurs after foliage season and before skiing and the spending takes place throughout the state, including in the states most rural areas.
In 2012, more than 74,000 people purchased Vermont hunting licenses, including about 64,600 residents and 9,400 nonresidents.
About 90 percent of hunting licenses are bought for deer hunting.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

It has been unseasonably warm here in Michigan and my blueberries are starting to bud out. Now, it's going to be in the upper 20s here tonight, and I'm worried about losing the buds.
I've got a couple plants in containers that I should be able to move into the garage. However, I've got 10 plants in the ground that I'm really worried about.
I planted them in August, 2010 and this is the first year they have any buds to speak of...I don't want to lose them!
Please help! I only have bedsheets that I could drape over them, if you think I need to do it. Here is a shot of how far they've progressed:
Thanks in advance,
Urgent! Should I cover my blueberries tonight?
It has been unseasonably warm here in Michigan and my blueberries are starting to bud out. Now, it's going to be in the upper 20s here tonight, and I'm worried about losing the buds.
I'm in zone 5 New York State. I'm going to cover my blueberry bushes tonight with a 32 gallon plastic trash can. its not worth it to take a chance. its 28 degrees already. I might see 18 for a low tonight.
Oh, trash cans would have been an easy solution! Unfortunately I don't have 10 empty ones!
My daughter and I hung bedsheets over them. Looks like Halloween! I hope it helps...now I'm worried that the branches will break.
The only buds you need to worry about are flower buds, if you are concerned with fruit production which do not happen for a few months. If you are talking about leaf buds you are fine, they are tough plants and they should be fine. Since blueberries have late season berries, the earlier the leave out the better. This coming from someone who has picked wild blueberries in Zone 2 for many years (actually some years falls into Zone 1---that's really cold in the winter)
Thanks everyone! Well, more than half the sheets popped off the plants anyway, so they were on their own after all. I will have to come up with a more effective method in the future.
Joanna, I don't know if you had the unseasonably warm weather like we did last week, but it's been so warm here that our plants are about 5 weeks ahead of schedule. The flower buds on my plants have really grown, but they have not actually flowered, if that makes sense. I wasn't sure how tender they would be. The TV weather guys kept making such a big deal about us having a "killing freeze" that I got nervous. It probably didn't even get below freezing here last night after all.
Thanks again!
it went down to 14 degrees here.

DEKALB, Ill. -- Northern Illinois University announced Saturday that sporting events will be canceled through Sunday, Feb. 24 in the wake of a campus shooting.
The men's basketball team has an away game against Toledo scheduled for Wednesday and a home game against Tennessee State slated for the 24th.
The women's team, meanwhile, was to visit Central Michigan on Tuesday and Toledo on Saturday, Feb. 23.
The women's track and field, women's gymnastics, women's softball, men's and women's tennis, wrestling and men's golf teams will not travel to away competitions this week.
The school had previously announced that all athletic events -- including a Sunday men's basketball home game against Western Michigan -- were canceled for this weekend.
A statement from NIU President John Peters Saturday said classes will resume Monday, Feb. 25, about a week and a half after a University of Illinois graduate student killed students in a lecture hall, then committed suicide.
The school is planning a memorial service on campus for Feb. 24, according to Peters.
Meanwhile, several Illinois-area sports teams are honoring the victims of the shooting, each in their own way.
The Chicago Blackhawks will honor shooting victims by wearing NIU Huskies decals on their helmets during Sunday's home game. The team announced that it also plans to wear the decals at St. Louis on Tuesday night and at home against Minnesota on Wednesday night.
The decal replicates the overlay of a black ribbon and Huskies logo that currently appears on NIU's official Web site.
The team will also observe a moment of silence before the national anthem at Sunday's game.
Moment of silences were also observed before the Drake-Northern Iowa and Marquette-Pittsburgh games Saturday afternoon in memory of the victims.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Taking your Girl out of the equation.
Utah will take your breath away, and the experience will be life changing... you may never get this chance again.
I absolutely love surfing, can't live without it, but I don't get to go every day - I usually have to go a week between sessions.
A 6.5 hour drive to the coast every other week seems like you can have your cake and surf it too.

this situation seems to me like you are asking for the best possible way to mix orange juice and milk.... Some might say, he man, its only surfing... where others might say, dude, follow the waves cause its obviously your passion...
so you can't mix oj and milk... you can't, from what it seems, accept this job if you are so passionate about surfing.
seems like this is a job that would require you to give your 100% to the people that are there for your help... not gonna last long there if all you do is think about the waves. just my 2cents...

No way in hell I could do it. The worst 4 years of my life were in college at NCSU-' + '-just two hours from my home. Not having unlimited access to salt water messed me up. I thought before hand it wouldn't be that bad.... but it was, that and more. This, and I still came home every summer to live at the beach and teach sailing and kayaking, so I wasn't trapped in Raleigh but my absence from something I had literally grown up with at my fingertips for a month or more at a time had serious ill effects on me.
\nPeople say you learn things about yourself in college-' + '-I sure as hell did. There is absolutely no way I will ever live outside the coastal region.
\nWhy not apply to be a NOLS leader in Baja?

dude you can always come back to the beach. I lived in lake tahoe north lake for a winter (about 6 months total) and didn't surf a single day but boarded over 100 days in 6 months! Mind blowing experience probably the coolest thing I have ever done. Go to utah and climb around on some boulders, shred some mountain bike trails, ride dirt bike and get it in because life is short. You will not regret it, the beach is always here.

Don't do it! We need you giving the surf report. You can't give a surf report from Utah. And anybody emailing you telling you you're overcalling it needs a mental exam. If anything, you're undercalling it slightly.

one week on, one week off, sounds like an excellent surf schedule. You would have all week to surf out and that would give you time for exploring a lot of coastline in the PNW. It is tougher when you only get one day off a week. Plus it is nice to have a job lined up before you make such a big move. You will then have time to look for a job that will provide 24/7 ocean access in the future. Good luck.

Do it... unless you're planning on getting married chicks come and go... remove from the equation. Doing man sh!t in the wilderness, helping folks, building a resume, saving money, having a lifetime of stories to tell, and every other week off and I'm sure major holidays? Why wouldn't you do it?... If you're dedicated... and you'd have to be to... probably surf as many, if not more, good days out west as you already do in RI. It'd be like 180 South all gnarly wilderness types and then they shred. Don't be afraid to step out side the ol' comfort zone...too many people are... don't let fear of missing sh!tty waves influence you too heavily. I did once in my life and it kept me back for too long...afraid to make a move... to miss a swell... took a leap of faith that seemingly sucked... largely missing out on surfing for a few years in my prime 20s... to reap the benefits in my early 30s...two years of straight Pacific ocean and Indian ocean perfection surfing places that most others on this side of the world only talk about.

The waves will never stop bombarding the edge of our country...they are the constant...this job opportunity is not. I would take the job in Utah, earn some money and knowledge/experience of the wilderness as well as help fellow human beings. You have every other week off to hit the coast. If its flat out, you can travel somewhere else since you have income. With out a job in surf city, if its flat, your out of surf and have no real $$ to go somewhere else (for surf or not).
Summary: Utah!

Go to Utah! I have been a surfer for 25yrs and always made decisions based on the ocean surf etc.. I have realized as much as I love surfing that it can be replaced with other things. Help those people in Utah and get the outdoor experience you need it will help you in the future and hopefully will be rewarding.

Maybe explore other opportunities to do similar work helping people, but on a coastline. Where I live there are numerous jobs available helping others learn to surf...kids with disablities, wounded soldiers, people in recovery...etc. What I honestly do anytime before making a big decision is divide a sheet of paper in half and right down the pros and cons. I add to the sheet for about a week, because reasons will continually pop in your head. Once you've given yourself enough time to compile the list, look at it closely and then make your decision.

\nFor the past 8 years I have based all of my decisions on waves, its brought me to some incredible areas along the east coast between Florida and Cape Cod, but at the same time I missed out on an excellent opportunity in Vail CO. A move west away from the hustle is needed, I am just trying to take any opportunity I can get.
\nI am trying to look at how many days Ive paddled out here and its been a mind blowing session, and while there has been a solid bunch its not really something worth staying for. Being 6 hours from a coast with a week off every two weeks doesn't seem to be that bad a situation, It reminds me of heading to vermont to snowboard ( which I do often in the winter with a regular work schedule).
\nCall it a stepping stone if you will, Surfing is what shaped the way I think and taught me to experience whatever I can before I die.
\nGame on.

I think it should be considered a strong sign of what surfing does to one's soul when they are weighing the options between a career away from the ocean, and surfing.
I had a child late in life. Up until then, I chose surfing and my career path, along with my finances, suffered. Note, not everyone is like this....there's probably a ton of guys that'll come on here and say they make 6 figures and sport a posh pad next to their favorite reef. I'm willing to bet there are more that are like me.
After having my child, I decided that I needed a real career....and that took me pretty damn far from the ocean. And for the first couple of years, it ACHED. I had surfing dreams what seemed like 2-3 times a week while sleeping. Fortunately, I lived in Colorado at the time and I am an avid skier. And as much as I love skiing, it couldn't fully take the place of surfing.
But I've been in my career of choice for almost 20 years now, and I don't regret it. After a few years, I started taking vacations which allowed me to get in the water for a week or 2 once or twice a year. And, I built up enough bank to where I was able to purchase, with cash, a piece of land next to the water in the Pacific Northwest. When I retire in the next year or two, I'm cashing in all my equity and building on that land and going back to my roots. If I decide to work, it'll be to take up my spare time and supplement my retirement pension. And I'll only be 50.
So, it's all about deciding to make a sacrifice. You could build your resume in Utah, then put in for something on the West Coast. Oregon and Washington are constantly looking for people with the experience you describe.
But you also need to know that rocking up to Seaside Point is not the same as pulling up into Ruggles. There's a reason so many people are so damn surly up there. Be prepared.
Just my .02 cents....good luck.

surfing and the ocean life is way more important than money to me. worse comes to worse you could always bartend or serve and make quick money that way.

my whole life i have lived no closer than an hour and 15 min. from the east coast! in college, i went to hawaii for a summer, to see about moving there. it was perfect, everything i could have dreamed, 10 min walk to surf, unreal sunsets, etc., etc.. lined up a job for after i graduated college working at a pottery..not alot of money but enough to get by with. i always told my self i was never going to move further from the surf. to make a long story short, i never took the job in hawaii for various reasons. im still living an hour and 15 from the beach, but i have a good job,ive been happily married for 7 years,and we have our boy who just turned 5, and our baby girl who will be 2 in august! i still get to surf. not as much as i would like, but i still get to surf. lifes a journey, you have to find the balance that keeps you you! you have some great opportunities! think of it like this. if your a surfer, and you see all those reports going off, and your freakin out, because you want to go, but you cant, and you feal like your losing your identity,that sucks, but eventually you get over it, until the nxt swell, and the nxt swell, and the nxt. and if you never get to go, your going to lose that part of you. theres more to life than surfing. just because you step away from surfing for something else doesnt necessarilly mean its gone forever, even though it might feel that way, or maybe thats just me?PEACE!

if you live in rhode island i'm sure you go more than a week without surfing. A plane ticket to cali would be cheap. You could also save a bankroll and head to hawaii. If you aren't married, forget about your girl, and remember this. If it has a steering wheel or a set of tits, it will give you problems. It's a fact. Google it

Start looking for the same kind of job in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. Take the job in Utah and keep trying to get closer to the Pacific. It'll happen.
\nOne week on and one week off is pretty good. When you finish surfing in the morning in So Cal you can go to job interviews and then get back in the water in the late afternoon. Plus winters are super nice in So Cal. So go for the job in Utah and take it from there.

I would say go for it. St. George would put you right between Southern CA and SLC Utah - you get the best of both worlds. Some fun surf in CA or some sick mountains up around SLC. With your work schedule you will have plenty of time to travel to and explore either destination. Plus, you're pretty close to Vegas if you're into that kind of scene.
\nUtah is awesome. Before I started surfing I was planning on moving to SLC to work at a mountain and just ride all winter and skate all summer. Such amazing terrain out there for all kinds of outdoor activities.

Since you don't have anything that is really securing you down, why not go for Utah.
Then, give it a few months, and its not working for you, make a change.

OldSnakeReborn posted...I don't think the original question is how the monsters come about. I think the TC already established that. His question is where do Necromorphs come from? Now don't take my word for it, but I remember very vaguely the story is similar to the Aliens movies. Prior to this, the marker enslaved another race, and then that race somehow controlled it and put it underground with a warning. So the "bat like" creature you see is actually the alien species that was enslaved before by the marker. Very similar to the aliens movies.---"Yeah, usually stores don't allow any pc resells because of the chance of people packing viruses into the disks." - Chainsaw_Max
The bat like creature was a human. The comics even show someone transforming.
