| + | == Do Suya, Asun, peppered Gizzard, stick meat, barbeque cause == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Here in Nigeria, Mai Suya is such an integral part of take-away and to do without it, will be almost impossible. In fact, no first date is complete without a stop at a Suya spot. Asun and peppered Gizzard are also very popular and are regulars in the small chop sections of most parties. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Though these snacks are delicious and seemingly appear harmless, the method of preparation has been pinpointed as what turns them lethal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to a University of Minnesota study that tracked the eating habits of more than 62,000 people over a nine-year period; regularly consuming well-done or charred meat may increase your risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to 60per cent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Cooking meat at a high temperature causes chemicals called HCAs (heterocyclic amines) and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) to form. These carcinogens can cause changes in the DNA that can lead to cancer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | PAHs are in smoke from incomplete combustion, so if you can taste smoke on your food, expect it contains those chemicals. HCAs,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/st-louis-rams-c-95 Nike St. Louis Rams jerseys],on the other hand, are produced by a chemical reaction between meat and high or prolonged heat and are present in both fried meat and barbeque. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Taking a look at the preparation of Suya, this might be the less harmful of the snacks mentioned above. A part of the fat is trimmed off before grilling which reduces flames flaring up and creating more smoke,[http://xn--onqu75bcvap11j.tkcs.com.tw/discuz/viewthread.php?tid=7952068&extra= Open Thread- Four games for Tuesday starting at 7-00 PM ET],[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/arizona-cardinals-c-29 Nike Arizona Cardinals jerseys], which leads to carcinogen formation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Suya is usually marinated in a concoction of spices, peppers, groundnut, and salt, which further reduces the formation of HCAs. The American Institute for Cancer Research stated that; marinating meat for at least 30 minutes can reduce the formation of HCAs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to the result from a study carried out by researchers from Kansas State University and The Food Science, the type of marinade might even be a factor. The researchers found that, a steak cooked in a Caribbean marinade had an 88 percent drop in HCAs, while a Southwestern mixture had a 57percent drop in bad compounds, and an herb marinade accounted for a 72percent drop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Though there is no scientific reason for the reduction of the bad compounds, the marinade seem to act like a barrier between the meat and carcinogens. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Although Suya is cooked on an open live flame which cannot be regulated, the mere act of flipping the meat around cuts down on carcinogenic chemicals. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As for fried meat, using the right type of cooking oil might reduce any carcinogenic problems already going on in the cooking. Frying oil or fat should have a high smoke point.Peanut oil is the best for deep-frying because it does not break down into trans-fats in high heat. However, eating fried food is not recommended. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The known fact is, PAH��s and HCA��s definitively causes cancer in humans but scientist really cannot calculate the amount that would lead to cancer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consequently, there is no established exposure limit because the genetic damage that leads to cancer is highly complex and affected by other external factors. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Preventively, reducing your exposure to carcinogenic chemicals is advised.</html> | ||

| + | == Lawrence resident is world air guitar champ == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Eric “Mean Melin” Melin booked a last-minute flight to Finland on a prayer — make that an air prayer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | And the air guitar gods must have heard it. Lawrence’s meanest air guitar-playing machine became the newest World Air Guitar Champion today. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After coming in Saturday in Los Angeles, Melin hadn’t actually qualified to compete at the World Air Guitar Championships in Oulu, Finland. | ||
| + | |||
| + | But, fortunately for Melin, in the sport-slash-performance-art known as air guitar, there’s this little thing called a Dark Horse round. (Of course.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | This qualifying event on the eve of the championship offered a way into the finals for its top finishers. Melin knew it was a long shot, but felt like he had to go for it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “There’s also something addictive about hope," Melin wrote . "It keeps you going." | ||
| + | |||
| + | With a little funding from “Mean Melin” T-shirts that supporters have been buying online, and encouragement from his girlfriend and other air guitar players — including San Diego’s Jason "Lt. Facemelter" Farnan,[http://verkko-opisto.pkky.fi/wiki/index.php/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Renepaley#King.27s_.27Dream.27_not_yet_realized.2C_says_March_on_Washington_sp King's 'Dream' not yet realized, says March on Washington sp], who edged him out for the U.S. title — Melin jetted to Finland. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He won the Dark Horse round. And today, despite having a lousy second slot in the playing order, he his way past 16 other competitors from Europe to Japan to win the world championship. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “I have no idea what I did to win except put my heart and soul into every moment on stage,” Melin wrote in an email shortly after today’s victory. “And I think that the crowd might have been able to feel that, and knew that air guitar is in my blood and not just some silly throwaway thing.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | This was supposed to be Melin’s last year competing in air guitar. He’d played at the four previous years without a victory — which, he said in an interview earlier this month, seemed like a sign it might be time to hang up his virtual guitar. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Looking to make the most of his presumed swan song, Melin started planning his routine way back in November. While most air guitar players play along with tracks from known artists,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 Nike Washington Redskins jerseys], Melin — the drummer for local band the Dead Girls,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/chicago-bears-c-3 discount Chicago Bears jerseys], and also the Journal-World's movie critic — composed and recorded his own music with help from a friend. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It all paid off, and it looks like this year won’t be his last performance after all. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “I have to come back and defend the title next year here in Finland,” Melin said, “which is insane.”</html> | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html>Safetli told Central Local Court that he was sitting at a table in Tuscany restaurant in Leichhardt while Mr Medich was at another table discussing business with other people including people from Delmege Constructions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Former boxer Lucky Gattellari, who has also pleaded guilty to his part in the murder, told Safetli that he was to be the "new guy" engaged to murder Mr McGurk. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Advertisement | ||
| + | He said that during the lunch, Mr Medich came over to his table accompanied by Gattellari. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Are you sure you can get this job done in four weeks?" Mr Medich is alleged to have said. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Yes, 100 per cent," replied Safetli. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Safetli also said that Mr Medich was known as "the big boss". On September 3, 2009, Safetli and his accomplice Chris Estephan sat outside Mr McGurk's Cremorne home waiting to murder him. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Safetli said they didn't talk about murder plans but instead discussed Mr Estephan's girlfriend troubles. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He said that when Mr McGurk pulled up in his Mercedes,[http://xupeng.php.mgphpzj.com/xu/home.php?mod=space&uid=238580 ], "in a blink of his eye" Mr Estephan had crossed Cranbrook Avenue to do the murder. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When Safetli was challenged about whether Estephan committed the murder, Safetli said: "You're making this kid out to be an angel, he's not." | ||

| + | == 2015 Guber Race- MOSOP Rejects Endorsement of Wike, Articles == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) yesterday rejected the endorsement of the Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Mr. Felix Obuah, as the party s candidate for the 2015 governorship election in Rivers State . | ||
| + | |||
| + | The group s President, Mr. Legborsi Pyagbara, rejected the endorsement in Port Harcourt,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/st-louis-rams-c-95 Nike St. Louis Rams jerseys], describing it as a sentimentally disappointing approach, which he said, represented a huge conspiracy against the Ogoni gubernatorial move. | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to him, we also consider the action as an appalling and shameful response to our quest. The MOSOP thus call on the national leadership of the PDP to call Obuah to order immediately. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He said the deed was not only a deliberate infringement on fairness, but also politically inept, insensitive and unfortunate, saying it was the Ogoni governorship quest is most popular and widely supported within the state. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He said the PDP would be losing a golden opportunity to monopolise and secure to its electoral advantage the huge Ogoni voting strength if it failed to commit her platform to any Ogoni seeking to govern Rivers State as Governor in 2015. <br> | ||
| + | He explained that the utterances and actions of Obuah represented a devious attempt at scuttling Ogoni s political interest, noting that and it is unacceptable. If the untoward development is not addressed,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/san-diego-chargers-c-91 Nike San Diego Chargers jerseys], it would require inflexible Ogoni response. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He added that Obuah is acting a script as we know the forces at play. However, the stance reflects an implicit admission of what we have all along been suspecting. Nonetheless, we would like to warn that Ogoni will refuse to be confined to being heavers of water and fetchers of wood in a state that we are not inferior but eminently qualified. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Obuah s insistence on depriving Ogoni of her deserved berth at the office of governor of the state meant that the red line has been crossed and would no doubt provoke tough,[http://www.wikishops.de/mediawiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Jjlxcaaxfzg#10_Thought_Provoking_Reasons_to_Quit_Smoking_Marijuana.2C_as_a 10 Thought Provoking Reasons to Quit Smoking Marijuana, as a], decisive attention as we will not continue to be political passerby in our state. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Again, is it not unfair that while Rivers West and East senatorial districts have produced governors of the state under a zoning understanding, efforts are being made to deny Rivers South East Senatorial district of the opportunity others have enjoyed? | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | He therefore said the Obuah/Wike s intention to scuttle the political understanding in the state was definitely anti-Ikwerre and his party, noting the MOSOP felt the action negates internal democracy and paints the platform in bad light . | ||

| + | == Syria Is Not Kosovo, Balkan Veterans Say == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>WASHINGTON Diplomats who were involved in the West s intervention in Kosovo in 1999 say the situation offers little precedent for the Obama administration s planned attack on Syria, despite comparisons in the press. | ||
| + | The New York Times that President Obama s national security aides are studying the NATO air war in Kosovo as a possible blueprint for acting without a mandate from the United Nations. | ||
| + | Balkans hands from the late 1990s say the situations bear little resemblance and that the example of Kosovo shouldn t serve as a model for action in Syria. | ||
| + | The similarities between what we did in Kosovo and what is now being proposed in Syria are exactly zero, said Peter Galbraith,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 cheap redskins jerseys], the former Ambassador to Croatia and close ally of the late Richard Holbrooke. The situations are completely different. In Kosovo, we had a partner. In Syria, we don t. Kosovo is small, Syria is large. | ||
| + | Former Ambassador to Iraq Christopher Hill, a U.S. Special Envoy to Kosovo in 1998 and 1999, said: I want to stress that there was a very big difference between Kosovo and Syria. | ||
| + | In Kosovo we had political arrangements that had been agreed on by the Contact Group plan, Hill said. We worked assiduously with Europeans, Russians and others to come up with a political solution. | ||
| + | At the end of the day the Serbs refused to go along with it and in so refusing they were very much isolated, Hill said. At the end, as ethnic cleansing continued, we hit them and hit them hard. | ||
| + | We had a broad group of countries supporting us in Kosovo, Hill said, despite not managing to obtain a United Nations Security Council resolution. I think in Syria we don t have that support. | ||
| + | Robert Gelbard, a former U.S. Envoy to Kosovo who warned Slobodan Milosevic about possible NATO intervention in 1998, was an early proponent of air war in the Balkans. | ||
| + | I frankly was one of the hawks along with General Wesley Clark, Gelbard said. But Richard Holbrooke, in particular, kept assuring people he could negotiate a peaceful solution. | ||
| + | That s quite different from this situation, Gelbard said. Nobody thinks they can negotiate a peaceful solution [in Syria] except the Russians. | ||
| + | Gelbard pointed out that the intervention in Kosovo came after sustained efforts on the part of the international community to negotiate an agreement between the two sides,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ nike nfl wholesale jerseys], a scenario that hasn t been true in Syria. | ||
| + | By the time Kosovo came up, the U.S. had been deeply engaged in the region for a number of years, Gelbard said. The U.S. finally got involved in 1995 particularly after the Srebrenica massacre [in Bosnia in 1995]. Obviously, some people are comparing Srebrenica to the chemical weapons attack as a final straw. | ||
| + | For Heather Hurlburt,[http://wikiste.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:Lxecrfzisgs#Panthers_rally_past_Ocean_Springs Panthers rally past Ocean Springs], a speechwriter for Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at the time, the comparison between Kosovo and Syria is shorthand for a limited form of military intervention that got Russia to bring the recalcitrant party back to the table. | ||
| + | If something like that could work it would be a godsend for the people of Syria because I see a stalemate in the fighting for the foreseeable future, but people should realize that Kosovo didn t happen overnight, Hurlburt said. | ||
| + | And in today s supercharged news cycle, anything longer than a few days could prove disastrous from a public relations perspective. | ||
| + | Kosovo was pre-blogs and pre-Twitter, and criticism of the administration when we got into month three was pretty savage. We felt under enormous pressure in May of 1999, said Hurlburt. | ||
| + | Despite the obvious differences, some who were involved in Kosovo in the 1990s argue that the campaign offers useful lessons for Syria. General Wesley Clark on Thursday arguing that the Kosovo campaign can still be instructive in other respects because it offers lessons on expecting the unexpected and on improvising in the midst of a confrontation. | ||
| + | These episodes are always fluid, but so long as your political coalition is well organized and NATO was objectives can be modified and clarified during the course of military action, Clark wrote. Not every I has to be dotted or t crossed before initiating a strike. | ||
| + | It doesn t appear likely that a political coalition like the one that formed around Kosovo will come together here. International support for U.S. action in Syria took another hit on Thursday as the British parliament voted against United Kingdom involvement in the planned strikes, leaving the U.S. without one of its only potential military partners in the strikes.</html> | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html><br> | ||
| + | With the breakup of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), President Goodluck Jonathan and the party s governors last night met with the New PDP. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The splinter group comprises, among others, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and seven governors as members.<br> | ||
| + | The governors are Alhaji Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Alhaji Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Dr. Mu azu Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Alhaji Abudfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Mr. Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers). | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The meeting with the president, which ended at 2.05 am, enabled both sides to open up on their grievances and resolved to have a follow-up meeting tomorrow to consider further ways of ending the crisis that has torn the party apart. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Governors at the meeting were Aliyu, Kwankwaso, Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Nyako, Idris Wada (Kogi), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Jonah Jang (Plateau) and Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom). | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Others were Ahmed (Kwara), Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina), Murktar Ramalan Yero (Kaduna), Garba Umar (Taraba acting governor), Seidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Theodore Orji (Abia), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe). | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Also present were the counsel to PDP, Joe Kyari Gadzama; National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd); Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim; and the president s Chief of Staff, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Owing to the short notice, the governors of Sokoto, Jigawa and Rivers were however absent from the meeting.<br> | ||
| + | During the meeting, the breakaway governors made it clear that they had no intention of leaving the party, but had some grievances which needed to be resolved. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | They were frank during their discussions and it was agreed that a follow-up meeting would take place tomorrow with all the governors of the PDP, the president, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, and the party s chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | A source also disclosed that even though the so-called renegade governors were frank during their meeting with the president, their decision to break away was informed by the need to, among other reasons, give members of the National Assembly the opportunity to join their faction without actually leaving the party. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | We have not yet decided to go anywhere. It (New PDP) was created to allow the National Assembly members, if they so wish, to join the faction, as the constitution does not permit defection, except there is a division in the party on whose platform such a member is elected. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | However, members of New PDP will only stay on if Jonathan show signs of genuine reconciliation and meets their demands. The first demand is the removal of the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The second is Amaechi s delegates were not allowed at the convention and (former deputy national chairman) Sam Jaja who resigned with other National Working Committee (NWC) members in June was kept out. But the New PDP wants him restored.<br> | ||
| + | They will give the president one week to meet their demands before deciding on the next course of action, but their minimum demand is that Tukur must go, a source said. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Sources further said the reason Jonathan was reluctant to remove Tukur all along was that Jaja, who was the deputy before his resignation, would have become the acting chairman. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | As a loyalist of Amaechi, with whom the president is engaged in a political fight, he could not be trusted with such a sensitive position.<br> | ||
| + | However, it was learnt that with the emergence of Mr. Uche Secondus as the Tukur s deputy at Saturday s convention, the president might be amenable to Tukur s ouster. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | THISDAY was also informed that some ministers and presidential aides were spoiling for a fight, by making the states of the renegade governors ungovernable for them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | But the president was said to have rejected the idea and told them not to do so as he would rather make peace with the governors who had left the party. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | In furtherance of the peace initiative, Jonathan also met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo along with the Beninese President Boni Yayi after a church service at the presidential villa in Abuja yesterday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | During the meeting, it was learnt that he appealed to Yayi, who considers Obasanjo a father figure, to urge the former president to forgive him for whatever transgressions he might have committed, as he too considered Obasanjo to be his father.<br> | ||
| + | However, Clark, a core Jonathan loyalist, said the factionalisation of PDP would not affect the president s chances of contesting the 2015 presidential election. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | He also accused Obasanjo of masterminding the alleged gang up against Jonathan.<br> | ||
| + | Despite the peace meetings, the battle between the two factions of the ruling party has shifted to the National Assembly for the control of its leadership, investigations by THISDAY have revealed.<br> | ||
| + | Investigations by THISDAY showed that should there be signs that Jonathan was ready for genuine reconciliation, the New PDP members would remain in the party and maintain the status quo in the leadership of the National Assembly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | According to sources, however, should the president bow to pressure from his coterie of aides and associates to adopt strong-arm tactics in dealing with the situation, instead of embracing genuine reconciliation, the New PDP would move to take over the leadership of the federal legislature. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | As part of their plans to take over the leadership of the National Assembly, it was gathered that chieftains of the New PDP have begun exploratory talks with the All Progressives Congress (APC) with a view to forging a working relations.<br> | ||
| + | Governors elected on the platform of the opposition party yesterday welcomed the factionalisation of the ruling party, which they described as a necessary and inevitable result of the repressive rule of the PDP. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | However, the New PDP chieftains might consider moving to the opposition only if the president failed to amicably address the issues that caused the breakup of the party.<br> | ||
| + | Already, THISDAY learnt that the New PDP might have 34 members in the Senate, which when added to the 32 APC senators, would give them the edge to gain control of the Senate leadership. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | It is already taken for granted that the New PDP with 67 and APC 137 members already have the majority in the House of Representatives to effect a change in its leadership if the need arises. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The plan by the lawmakers of the New PDP, if they succeed, is to, in conjunction with APC, begin amendment to critical laws, specifically the Electoral Act, to limit the use of security agencies for the conduct of elections.<br> | ||
| + | The arrival at the numerical strength of the members of the New PDP in the National Assembly is based on the computation that lawmakers from the seven states whose governors are part of the breakaway group, would team up with their governors in the new camp. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | It is also expected that at least 14 PDP lawmakers, who may have been seating on the fence for months, may pluck up the courage to join their colleagues in the New PDP. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | In the meantime, Akpabio, who chairs the PDP Governors Forum (PDP-GF), also yesterday announced moves by the forum to reconcile the aggrieved governors with the party. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | Akpabio told THISDAY that the PDP-GF has waded into the matter with a view to resolving the crisis that led to his colleagues walking out of Saturday s special national convention. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The forum, he added, had started reaching out to the aggrieved governors to find a way of settling the matter.<br> | ||
| + | According to him, Let me tell you that some of my colleagues and I have resolved here and now to ensure total reconciliation of the grievances in this matter. I can tell you that there was a break in communication. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | I was with the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and we even took pictures with the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, at the convention venue. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | This is a family affair and I can assure you that in a few days time, this matter would be resolved. <br> | ||
| + | But in its reaction to the breakup of PDP, the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), comprising APC governors, lauded the factionalisation of the ruling party, saying recent events, such as the orchestrated crisis in the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), suspension and expulsion of PDP leaders, including governors were signposts of crisis that should unavoidably result in the split of any organisation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | The forum commend the courage and resilience of the New PDP for standing up to be counted among patriotic political leaders of Nigeria. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | It pledged to support and work with the governors of the PDP faction and others to facilitate the accelerated development of the nation and its people. | ||

| + | == Toledo and Northern Illinois- A Growing Rivalry == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Toledo and Northern Illinois. Some say rivalry, others say nonsense. I say it is up for debate. Historically the Rockets have dominated the Huskies in football. Toledo has long been a force in the MAC, and until recently NIU was a laughable program. Go back through the series, and Toledo has dominated. The Rockets are 29-11 against the Huskies all-time. Throughout the 60s, 70s, 90s and the first decade of the 2000s Toledo went 2-0, 7-2, 6-0, and 8-2 respectively. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Toledo has produced Nick Saban,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ nike nfl wholesale jerseys], undefeated seasons, a tough home environment in the Glass Bowl, and LOTS of MAC championships. On the other side of the coin, Lee Corso , Charlie Sadler,[http://jucri.jyu.fi/wiki/rdi/index.php/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Wzxxqzapwzyf#Past_as_prologue-_How_Senators_voted_on_Iraq_and_Kosovo__.E2.80.94 Past as prologue- How Senators voted on Iraq and Kosovo —], and the 24 straight losses, didn't exactly make DeKalb a football haven. Then came Joe Novak. Over time he changed the direction of the NIU program. He lifted the Huskies to big name victories over Alabama and Maryland and brought the likes of , Garrett Wolfe,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ wholesale nike nfl jerseys], Michael Turner and Chandler Harnish to DeKalb. A new NIU program was born. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now the Huskies are 3-0 against the Rockets since 2010. One of those victories was a 65-30 dominating performance over in his first collegiate start. | ||
