Animals used in agriculture play an important role in Nebraska industry. Climate change affects these animals in different ways. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension received a $4.1 million from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study these effects.
The buildings at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln continue to expand. By the end of the 2011, several construction projects will be completed, said Ted Weidner, assistant vice chancellor for facilities management and planning. "With the new buildings come new excitement for student life," he said.
As a student at UNL, a second-time model in Omaha Fashion Week and someone who genuinely enjoys everything from going to Renaissance Festivals to going to photoshoots, Gwyneth Talley has pretty much done it all. She's spent time studying abroad and will get the chance to visit Germany again this coming year.
Democracy is among the most vociferous and equalizing governments produced by men, but it is sometimes trumped by a dictatorial style of governing. Obtaining complete and unalterable balance of power among our nation's three branches of government may only be worsening our chances to solve future problems.
The only garage sale I'd ever seen was the one in the "Desperate Housewives," when Gabby was getting rid of her things to piss someone off. But there I was, on 17th Street, by our little apartment house with my friends, selling my things for the first time in my life.
The so-called "super committee," part of the new deal to raise the debt ceiling, is bound to fail at its goal of cutting spending — and here's why. In Washington, it always seems like a piece of proposed legislation has the potential to succeed.

Patricia Starr seems to be having a hard time hearing my every word. It could be the air conditioner on full blast, the fan overhead or the internal fan of my overheated MacBook, which is recording the conversation. That's a lot of extraneous noise, but it's also the dog days of summer, and I'm not about to turn anything off.
I can't say I've ever seen a movie and hoped that future directors rip it off. But with Ruben Fleischer's "30 Minutes or Less," I hope they're at least taking notes. It takes an original, jam-packed story that could easily be milked for more, and fires it off in a mere 83 minutes.
With summer comes better weather and much more spare time in the lives of young people. Unfortunately for all of us, large corporations have decided we should pay outrageous prices for concerts that, honestly, aren't worth it. I have issues with festivals in general.
