The photo was taken early in Oligmueller's trip down the Mississippi, before a carp jumped from the river and knocked the UNC flag off the front of the vessel. The flag sank to the bottom of the river. ENLARGE Nate Oligmueller and his Dad Jim Oligmueller pose as a modern-day Huck and Jim rolling down the Mississipi River. If you come down to the river, Bet you gonna find some people who live. You don't have to worry cause you have no money, People on the river are happy to give. ...Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river. -- "Proud Mary," by Creedence Clearwater Revival Bad omens stacked up like so much driftwood along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. Floods and bugs. Heat and humidity. Massive tugboats and giant carp. The University of Northern Colorado students were especially surprised the day a 20-pound carp flew up from the brown depths and took out the UNC flag flying over the water. The assault denuded the bow of the "Bear Naked," a blue-and-gold vessel being piloted by Nate Oligmueller and Dave Brandsma, high school buddies who are now roommates at modern danish style nesting cubes UNC. The bad omens came at them battlefield modern combat in pairs in the deep, strong currents of the Mississippi River. Most appropriate. After all, it was another audacious pairing -- Huck and Jim of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain -- that inspired this modern-day voyage of raw gumption and random adventure. Like Huck and Jim, Oligmueller and Dave Brandsma (a third UNC roommate, Nick Deneberg, dropped out of the crew early on) decided to roll on the nation's largest river, basically as an excuse to get out of dodge. The UNC juniors -- Oligmueller is modern wilderness survival course a political science major and Brandsma is studying business management -- read the book as grade-schoolers. It's burned in their imaginations ever since. "We just wanted to conquer the Mississippi River for the heck of it," Oligmueller said. The raft-mates, who set sail June 9, modern new contemporary banff resort are more than half-way through their self-titled "Modern Day Huck Finn Adventure" to Baton Rouge, La. The trip took its first unforeseen twist after the first week when floodwaters forced the Bear Naked off the river at Fort Madison, Iowa, 100 miles downstream from the launch at Davenport, Iowa. The crew returned to Colorado for three weeks until the river became navigable again. I reached Oligmueller on his cell phone on July 28. The Bear Naked had just drifted modern apostolic past Cairo, a levee town at the southern tip of Illinois. "It's pretty intense with the sun reflecting off the water," he said. Then the line went dead. Cell reception is not good in the meandering backwaters of the Mississippi. I'm sure Huck and Jim discovered the same thing. I resumed the interview via e-mail. Oligmueller and Brandsma manage to post to their Web site (http://www.bearnakedrafting.com/index.htm) every few days at shore-town pitstops. Before the call dropped into the river haze, I was probing Oligmueller about this "Huck Finn" fascination. On e-mail he replied: "We say, 'Life's too easy to float through, so you have to change it up every once in a while,' and that's kind origamic architecture goes modern of what Huck did," Oligmueller wrote. "He wanted to break free from the same-old same-old and decided the river life was the life to live." But what about the mosquitoes, I asked. "Well, you only learn lessons once modern rentals on the river. After leaving the doors open one night and almost being carried off by mosquitoes we closed up the cabin and we have screens on the sides to keep the bugs out," Oligmueller wrote. People on the river are happy to give, he told me. They drive, feed and open their showers to the land-locked, non-mariner Coloradans at every opportunity. He said the biggest challenge is staying alert enough to avoid hitting a buoy or being capsized by a tugboat wake. The boys -- in this story they qualify as modern art desktop image boys -- sleep on board every night and they cook meals on a Coleman stove. Their interior space is called the Cave Bear Cabin, and a red wagon stored atop the boat is used to ferry fuel from gas stations. They only use the 9.5-horsepower motor to get out of the way of barges and off shore. Otherwise they drift. The carp incident was still fresh when my call briefly patched through to the Bear Naked. "Around here they've actually been known to knock people out of boats and knock small children unconscious," Oligmueller said. "... We lost that (flag). It sunk to the bottom of the modern kitchen white cabinets Old Miss." Another key pairing is at the heart modern retro eames era copper of this voyage: father and son. Dan Oligmueller, american modern insurance group Nate's father, helped build the

modern science

craft and joined the trip for the initial leg. Dan also modern day epidemic was on board for the internet modern history sourcebook second launch in southern Iowa when the river reopened. "I wanted to ensure that after the proper amount of time and experience that two individuals could reasonably navigate the vessel in reasonably fast, deep waters," Dan said. "... Although my time with them was short, it was primo! Spending time with your son on something you both made from scratch as it pushes through the white caps and flood waters on the Big Miss is an absolutely 'Grade A' memory." Still, back home in Colorado Springs, he worries nightly about the young men aboard the Bear Naked. Sometimes he thinks it modern towing hutchinson would have been preferable to remain ignorant to the photos modern restaurants egyptian theems river's many treacheries. "That being said, I would not change anything," Dan said. "When your son tells you that he's having the time of his life and you can hear it modern day buddhism in his voice, you know that

you might have done something right." Nate Oligmueller explained on the Web page that by late July the Bear Naked was traveling about 40 miles modern japanese clothing per day modern inline muzzleloader on the faster-moving lower Mississippi (roughly 5-mph current vs. 2 mph modern stained glass up north), compared to an average 23 miles a day above St. Louis. Oligmueller and Brandsma hope to reach Baton Rouge before school resumes Aug. 25. They have endured shrinking stomachs (from less pizza bingeing) and swelling limbs (more mosquito bites), while their brazenly painted vessel -- the 20-foot Bear Naked -- has at least twice been on the precipice of doom. "Thanks to some fort worth modern art museum of the locals we were warned about a 'Chain of Rocks' just above St. Louis," Oligmueller posted to the Web. "If it hadn't been for them, we would have gone over a water fall and probably perished." Back in early modern europe Colorado Springs, last week, Oligmueller's parents got a call that initially had them fearing the worst. A man from Tennessee called to ask if they had a son named Nathan. The shaken-up Oligmuellers were then informed that Nate and Dave showed up at the farmhouse in the wee hours asking for a phone. Turns out the Bear Naked, while anchored for the evening near Tiptonville, modern furniture auction began taking on big water in the night. That explained why Nate Oligmueller's phone got drenched and stopped working. "The anchor line became entangled in something very large and heavy and began to pull the Bear Naked down into the river," Dan said. "Nate believes the cabin was roughly half submerged when the anchor line snapped allowing the raft to modern army combatives instructor certification gain the proper draft on the river. ... Both he and Dave were OK. I guess his adventure is our adventure. Even when modern asian wall prints we can't be on the river with him." Definitely not the same-old same-old. To be sure, as Huck and Jim would tell you, the river life is the life to live. Chris Casey is a reporter at modern day gypsies The Tribune. He covers immigration, diversity and higher education.

News Only News Photos Video/Audio Advanced Bush rebukes China, torch feted in Tiananmen By Simon Denyer and Andrew Cawthorne Wed Aug 6, 12:02 PM ET BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush issued one of his strongest rebukes to China on human rights on Wednesday, two days before Beijing hosts an Olympics it hopes will showcase its modern face and economic might. Euphoric crowds chanted "Go Olympics, Go Beijing" as the Olympic flame was carried through Tiananmen Square on the last leg of its troubled relay before Friday's opening ceremony. At that ceremony, modern drunkard magazine denver co beamed to an estimated one billion television viewers around the world, a Sudanese-born athlete who fled government-sponsored militia will carry the U.S. flag, in what could be seen as an embarrassment to Sudan and ally China. Bush says he is attending the ceremony for sport and not for politics, but he plans to pause en route to express "deep concerns" over religious freedom and human rights in China. "America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human modern english watch rights advocates and religious activists," he will say in a speech in Bangkok on Thursday, modern hotel furniture excerpts of which were released in advance. A handful of modern women in egypt foreign protesters took their chance to grab the spotlight before attention shifts to the sporting contests. Police rushed to detain two Britons and two foundation of modern teaching methods Americans who unfurled "Free Tibet" banners from poles near the main "Bird's Nest" stadium, and stopped other public protests during the day. The mood in Beijing, though, was one of mounting excitement, with most of the 10,500 athletes from 205 countries now in town. The first competition, women's soccer, began with three matches. The United States, gold medalists four danish modern reading lamps years ago, slumped to a 2-0 defeat by Norway. Men's soccer, which has drawn Brazil's Ronaldinho, starts on Thursday. Argentina's Lionel Messi could be on his way home after his Spanish club Barcelona won the right not to release him. At the weekend, the eagerly awaited swimming competition begins in the new "Water Cube" pool, another shimmering landmark for the Olympics. American Michael Phelps is seeking to smash compatriot Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven golds in one Games. Phelps tried to puncture some of the hype. "You guys are the ones talking about it ... I'm not," he told reporters. FLAGS AND POM-POMS In Tiananmen Square, Beijing's symbolic heart best-known abroad for the crushing of 1989 protests, one of modern bath accessories China's most famous sportsmen, 7ft 6in basketball player Yao Ming, said he was overwhelmed as he held the flame above modern and espionage a sea of beaming faces. "After lighting it, my mind went blank, and then I just wanted to hurry up running ahead," Yao told state media. Though not fully fit, NBA player Yao will lead China's team when basketball starts at the weekend, also featuring a U.S. squad pumped museum of modern art helvetica exhibit up to avenge missing gold in Athens four years ago. Children wore "I Love China" modern issues facing catholicism T-shirts and workers waved flags and pom-poms, while drums and cymbals resounded around Tiananmen under a portrait of late revolutionary leader Mao Zedong. China's Communist leaders hope such images of the torch's final passage through the host city will help banish memories of Tibet protests that dogged the flame elsewhere in the world. Police were quick to react to Wednesday's Tibet protest, taking 12 minutes to remove the four, before asking them to leave the country, according to state media. The Dalai Lama, exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan modern dramatic monolgue people, who has repeatedly distanced himself from protests against the Games, sent his best wishes to China. "This is a moment of great pride to the 1.3 billion Chinese people," he said from his home in northern India. "I send my prayers and good wishes for the success of this event." U.S. athletes chose a former Sudanese refugee, one of the so-called "Lost Boys," to carry their flag at the opening. Lopez Lomong, now a middle-distance runner, fled on foot from rampaging government-sponsored Arab militia at modern egypt rights women the age of six in 1991, becoming separated from his parents at the height of a civil war in southern Sudan. After years in refugee camps, Lomong and thousands of similar children were resettled in the United States. The U.S. government also said it would protest to China over its decision to revoke the visa of Olympic gold medalist Joey Cheek, an activist for the western Sudanese region of Darfur. U.S. swimmer Amanda Beard became the first athlete at the Games to cross starke modern tonner the divide from sports into politics when she took to the street to unveil a nude photo of herself saying "Don't wear fur." Police had banned her from holding modern house a news conference. And in a clutch of such political statements, three Americans shouted slogans decrying forced abortions and religious repression in China before police intervened, while a Tibet film got a secretive premiere to reporters in a dingy hotel room. Demonstrations around the torch's international legs offended many Chinese, who see the Games as a moment of national pride for a nation some view as the emerging 21st century superpower. "It's not just about the sport, it's about the image of China," said Xi Li, among the officially organized torch crowd. "Chairman Mao would have been happy if he were here today!" Sadly for organizers, the start of the flame's passage through Beijing took place under modern karma smog-filled skies. Some $18 billion of clean-up measures have reduced contamination to safe levels, according to Games chiefs, but not produced the sunshine and blue skies China longs for. Anxious U.S. cyclists arrived with face-masks on, though that drew disapproval from the International Olympic Committee which said it was unnecessary. The athletes later apologized.
