This story comes to us from our friends at the science desk. They produced the 7-minute video documentary you see above.
"Modern-day rappers — all they talk about is money, and all these unnecessary and irrelevant topics," says Victoria Richardson, a freshman at Bronx Compass High School. Richardson's rhymes tackle a much less-popular subject: DNA.
Richardson and her teammates were finalists at the Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. (Bring Attention to Transforming Teaching, Learning and Engagement in Science) competition, where she faced off against other science rappers from nine different New York public schools.
"Science Genius is about harvesting the power of urban youth culture," says Christopher Emdin, a professor of education at Columbia University's Teacher's College who created the program. "Once they are able to incorporate the arts and their culture into the science content, they take it and they run with [it]."
The students researched and wrote rhymes about everything from gravity to evolution. Each school sent one group to the finals, where they were judged by a panel that included Wu-Tang Clan's GZA. (You can check out the finalists' lyrics here. Jabari Johnson, a senior, won the competition with his rap "Quest for Joulelry.")
This program is part of a national push to boost science education among minorities. A U.S. Department of Commerce study found that blacks and Latinos are half as likely as whites to have a job in science or engineering. Some educators hope that bringing hip-hop into the classroom can help change that.
"Science is something I always failed, which prevented me from getting into the specialized high school I wanted to go to," Richardson says.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, Tom McFadden also teaches science through rap with a slightly different approach. His students pen rap battles about conflicts from the history of science.
"When you incorporate these stories, it allows you not only to make the scientific information much more fun to digest," McFadden says. "It allows you to discuss scientific process."
A group of seventh-graders from Oakland, Calif., worked with McFadden to create a music video about the discovery of DNA's structure. They nail the science, and also delve into the shady behavior of the scientists involved.
Hip-hop education is still in its infancy, and it's gotten some resistance; teachers are hesitant to set aside class time for experimental programs.
But Emdin says if the current system isn't working, you have to try something different.
"Not every student is going to be a straight-A student, and go on to college and declare a science major and be the next Einstein," he says. "But through this project we definitely are going to have more scientifically literate young people."
And now to a classroom in the San Francisco Bay Area, where seventh graders have turned another controversial early chapter in genetics into a battle with a beat - a rap battle - as we'll hear.
NPR's Adam Cole reports.
ADAM COLE, BYLINE: Watson and Crick - they're the guys who first figured out that famous spiral structure of DNA. Before they came on the scene, no one knew what that important molecule looked like.
COLE: That beat comes from Kanye West's song "Clique," but the performers are seventh graders Ray Goff and Jabar Murray. Along with their classmates at KIPP Bridge Middle School in Oakland, California they've been working for months - researching the story of DNA, writing rhymes and filming a music video.
Tom McFadden led the project. Equipped with degrees in biology and science communication, he's spent the past few years traveling around the world - visiting classrooms with his own brand of science-infused hip-hop.
TOM MCFADDEN: It's part of an every day thing that they do after school, during school, at recess, whenever. And if you can bring that into the classroom and connect that to other things that they're learning about, that goes a long way towards hooking students in.
COLE: With McFadden's help, students at five schools in the San Francisco Bay area have created rap battles about everything from plate tectonics to Pluto. And these are battles - lyrical arguments between ideas or people.
At KIPP Bridge, the fight really gets going when Rosalind Franklin, another DNA pioneer, shows up.
COLE: That's Milan Gibson playing the role of Rosalind Franklin. Franklin took some X-ray pictures of DNA - and they showed that everyone had shape of the molecule all wrong.
Seventh graders Ray Goff and Kephra Shaw-Meredith explain.
: At first they thought the phosphate was inside the DNA strand.
KEPHRA SHAW-MEREDITH: And she figured out that there is phosphates on the outsides of it and it's BETA.
COLE: And here's where things get unpleasant. Watson and Crick used Franklin's picture to build their Nobel Prize-winning model of DNA, but they did it without her permission or even her knowledge - and they didn't give her much credit. It's a still a controversial subject, even in KIPP Bridge's schoolyard.
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #1: It's not really stealing because it says like...
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #2: I know, but he showed the picture, so like...
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #1: I know listen, that's stealing. That's stealing from what she did. And even though she was...
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #2: Claiming it as theirs?
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #1: Yeah, that's kind of stealing in a way.
UNIDENTIFIED GIRL #2: OK. I see where you're coming from.
COLE: Watson later derided Franklin as a belligerent feminist in his best-selling book "The Double Helix." Franklin couldn't respond because she had died of cancer years before. But in the song, she gets her say.
COLE: There's some uncertainty about whether rapping in school improves learning, but science rapper Tom McFadden believes it helps students find a way into the material.
MCFADDEN: When you talk to the students about the science and the content covered in these songs, they really, really have strong opinions about it.
COLE: And McFadden hopes that kind engagement will spread. With funding from Hewlett-Packard and hundreds of Kickstarter backers, he recorded and filmed a song from each school. The videos go up on YouTube this week. McFadden hopes these science rap battles will make there way into other classrooms, and other students will argue about Watson and Crick on the playground.
Adam Cole, NPR News.
MONTAGNE: Classrooms all over the country are blending hip-hop and science. You can hear more songs and watch students in New York City battle for the title of Science Genius on our website, npr.org.

Zionists Gone Wild: How A Popular Motif Served A Convenient Fiction At R&D
If you pay attention to Ottawa scandals, you will be familiar with the story of Rights and Democracy by now: a hostile Conservative takeover of the quasi-governmental agency has destroyed R&D's spotless international reputation as a wellspring and global clarion for human rights. Sinister Zionists are behind the whole thing.
The story's narrative arc was further entrenched in the public record last week when a House of Commons committee recommended the ousting of R&D board chairman Aurel Braun, so it must be true. After all, former R&D presidents Warren Allmand and Ed Broadbent read from that very script before the Foreign Affairs Committee during its hearings into R&D, and the New Democratic Party's Paul Dewar last week proclaimed that Braun and his R&D board allies have "poisoned the well" and ruined R&D's "stellar reputation."

Week of June 18-24, 2011
Riders this week: 9,412
Rider miles this week: 101,544
Hampton Subway Commissioner Aspinall is asking everyone to keep an eye out for a subway car that has gone missing. It had been added to the back to make up a five-car subway train at the Montauk Yards by the dispatcher and left the yards at 7:49 a.m. last Thursday for its full 90-minute rush hour run out to Westhampton Beach and back on schedule. But when the train returned and was turned around for a second scheduled run at 11:14 a.m., there were only four cars to the train.
Alerts immediately went out to all points to be on the lookout for this last car, particularly if it had come unhooked but remained on the tracks, it could have been hit from behind, with disastrous effects to the passengers in it. [expand]
However, as it turned out, there were no other problems anywhere on the line either then or since. The car is easily identified because it has a long scratch down its left side made about four months ago by some angry passenger who "keyed" it with his car keys at some point. It also bears the number CAR NUMBER 82 on the front and back, just below the light.
The motorman who drove the train that morning, which was train #11, said he did not hear anything unusual while taking the train out but did notice that up in Noyac, late in the run the train seemed to accelerate faster than it had been doing earlier when he stepped on the gas. Other than that he noticed nothing unusual.
Hampton Subway has learned that 17 local residents did not show up at their respective places of work last Thursday morning and police have issued a missing persons report for them, but have also called us because all of them apparently take the Hampton Subway when they go to work. This is just a coincidence, of course, but we thought we would pass it along. For a complete list of the passengers, call the Suffolk County Detective Agency and ask for Linda.
Three local residents have filed lawsuits about the subway ventilation gratings on the sidewalks of our downtowns that let the air in and out of the subway platforms below. One is from a woman named Harriet Mallow-Cohen from Amagansett who says she caught her high heels in one of the gratings in Hampton Bays one day back in 1998, thus twisting her ankle.
Another is from a man named Jonathan Billings of Quogue who says he was able to hear people on the platform below talking to one another on June 4, 2003, and the conversation had much obscene language which offended him greatly.
A third lawsuit was filed by Oscar Dellbenevina of Sag Harbor who says that during a snowstorm on January 3, 1997, somebody above pushing a snow shovel caused snow to come down through the grating to hit him on the head and he has had headaches to this day.
A man was found walking through the subway tunnel between Noyac and North Sea carrying some sort of electronic device. Spotted by a motorman, subway police arrested him at which time he claimed that the electronic device, which was about four times the size of a cellphone, was actually a time travel machine. He was taken to Southampton Hospital for observation.
The big food and wine event called Dan's Taste of Two Forks will take place on Saturday night, July 16, in Bridgehampton at the Horse Show Grounds on Snake Hollow Road beginning at 6:30 p.m. for V.I.P.s and 7:30 p.m. for regular admission. Attendees will receive the bounty of more than 35 restaurants and more than 30 wineries all evening, with the cost per ticket $150 regular and $225 V.I.P. Moneys raised will go to all our local food pantries through the Have a Heart Community Trust.
Hampton Subway hopes to participate in this event between 6 and 6:30 p.m. by providing waiters walking down the aisles of the trains offering trays of hors d'oeuvres as a sort of teaser to what will come later. If the deal with Dan's is worked out, we will tell you more about this in future newsletters.
I am as baffled as anybody as to how an entire subway car could have disappeared while on one of its regular runs last Thursday. Had I not been in the South of France on that particular day, but had instead been in my office, I would have immediately run downstairs and hopped on the next train and found out what was going on, toot sweet you betcha. When we find this car, heads will roll. [/expand]

Alpha Vertex: Smarter investing with artificial intelligence
About Alpha Vertex
Alpha Vertex builds cognitive technologies to change the way finance professionals discover and analyze investment opportunities, combining artificial intelligence with human insight to identify hidden relationships in financial information and drive better investments.
Tell us your challenge. We're here to help.Contact us
Alpha Vertex provides advanced analytical capabilities to the financial community, using 64-core VMs on Google Cloud Platform with Intel Xeon "Skylake" processors, reducing training times by 20%.
Google Cloud Results
- Improves prediction accuracy by introducing hundreds of new machine learning models and adding dozens more every month
- Scales easily, enabling 7-person team to create and support powerful big data solutions
- Reduces model training time by 20% with Intel Xeon "Skylake" processors
- Supported 5x growth in compute needs without exceeding cost of previous provider
Training 20K machine learning models at once
In financial markets, "alpha" is a measure of investment performance, or the active return compared to the market over the same time period. Investors naturally try to forecast opportunities that maximize alpha, which involves analyzing and coordinating an ever-growing amount of information. While investment research has traditionally been a time- and resource-intensive process, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change the way finance professionals discover investment opportunities.
Alpha Vertex is seizing this opportunity by providing analysis and forecasting for financial markets with help from AI. By building AI-powered technologies that work with people to predict financial outcomes and identify trends before they become obvious, Alpha Vertex helps clients create custom investment models that deliver the highest returns.
"Google Kubernetes Engine is like magic for us. It's the best container environment there is. Without it, we couldn't provide the advanced financial analytics we offer today. Scaling would be difficult and prohibitively expensive."—Michael Bishop, CTO and Co-Founder, Alpha Vertex
Alpha Vertex has compiled a growing knowledge base of linked data that tracks thousands of global stocks, changing market conditions, and other financial and international news across North America, Europe, and Asia. Every day, it adds as many as 2 million more pieces of unstructured text data—government statistics, press releases, trade journals, and executive interviews, among other sources. It then runs machine learning models on the data to develop predictive analyses. As data grows and new models are added and trained, insights get deeper and more reliable.
Training 20,000 machine learning models concurrently requires substantial compute power and memory. To meet these requirements, Alpha Vertex built the company on bare-metal cloud servers. However, managing and scaling the environment was increasingly challenging, taking most of CTO and Co-Founder Michael Bishop's time.
"I was working 90 hours a week just to make sure our infrastructure would work," he says. "At the same time, we needed better performance for model training. We operate 24x6 and have a fixed window in which we can retrain models and deliver predictions, so every hour is critical."
"Using Google Cloud Platform, our machine learning training times have improved by 20%, giving us one-fifth more compute power to redirect to experimentation and innovation. We built a Kubernetes cluster of 150 64-core Intel Xeon Skylake processors in just 15 minutes."—Michael Bishop, CTO and Co-Founder, Alpha Vertex
To enhance its service, Alpha Vertex tried Google Cloud Platform, and was immediately impressed with the performance it could achieve using Google Compute Engine 64-core machine types with Intel Xeon "Skylake" processors. Then it discovered that it could use Google Kubernetes Engine to automate container management and orchestration, giving Alpha Vertex just-in-time compute power regardless of job size. Convinced of the advantages, the company moved the bulk of its infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform.
"Google Kubernetes Engine is like magic for us," says Michael. "It's the best container environment there is. No other back-end system has had such a dramatic impact on our success. Without it, we couldn't provide the advanced financial analytics we offer today. Scaling would be difficult and prohibitively expensive."
20% more capacity for innovation
Alpha Vertex initially saw a 15% improvement in training times for its machine learning models after moving to Google Cloud Platform. Using Intel optimized libraries for machine learning reduced training times even further. Both the processor itself and the improved memory bandwidth contribute to the performance boost under concurrent workloads.
"Using Google Cloud Platform, our machine learning training times have improved by 20%, giving us one-fifth more compute power to redirect to experimentation and innovation," says Michael. "We built a Kubernetes cluster of 150 64-core Intel Skylake processors in just 15 minutes."
By shrinking model training and inference time, Alpha Vertex has added several hundred new inputs to its machine learning models, resulting in improved accuracy of predictions. It continues to add dozens of new models every month. As additional libraries and programs are refactored to take full advantage of the "Skylake" processor, Alpha Vertex expects to see further performance improvements. Memory-bound workloads benefit as well, with nearly twice the available memory bandwidth of the previous generation Intel Xeon.
"We've seen significant performance improvements in database loads and when running large Apache Spark jobs on Intel Xeon Skylake," says Michael. "We get faster boot times with Google Cloud Platform than we've seen on other providers, especially when bursting up Kubernetes clusters. We also found the Google network to be the highest performing under demanding conditions."
Saving time and costs
In addition to Google Cloud Platform compute resources, Alpha Vertex uses other managed cloud services: Google Cloud Storage for its data lake and long-term storage, Google BigQuery for data warehousing, Google Cloud Dataprep for data preparation and cleansing, Google Cloud Dataproc for data processing, and Google Cloud Pub/Sub for real-time messaging between applications. The entire cloud infrastructure is monitored with Google Stackdriver for reporting and metrics.
"We're a small business that needs big infrastructure resources to make our services possible," says Mutisya Ndunda, CEO and Co-Founder of Alpha Vertex. "Relying on an ecosystem of cloud services from Google Cloud Platform allows us to keep all our team members focused on developing and improving our core product."
As a result, Michael no longer needs to babysit servers, and instead can devote his time to more strategic tasks. "It's a night and day difference," he says. "I wouldn't want to go back."
To reduce costs, Alpha Vertex uses Preemptible Virtual Machines—highly affordable, short-lived VMs—for most of its Google Cloud Platform workloads. If a VM gets preempted, Google Kubernetes Engine simply reschedules the workload onto a new node created by the auto-scaler.
"Given Google's scale, we have yet to experience a situation in which preemptible nodes were unavailable," says Michael. "Using Preemptible VMs with per-second billing contributes to a fantastic bottom line cost for us on Google Cloud Platform."
"By choosing Google Cloud Platform, we can remain a small business and still be global and cutting edge. As Google continues to provide us with early access to best-in-class technology such as Intel Xeon Skylake processors to run live alpha testing at scale, we can innovate even faster."—Mutisya Ndunda, CEO and Co-Founder, Alpha Vertex
Collaboration built for cloud
To help drive innovation, Alpha Vertex migrated from a cloud version of legacy office software to G Suite, giving users a suite of intelligent, cloud-based apps with a lightweight, modern interface. The team now collaborates across devices using Gmail, Google Docs, Drive, Sheets, and Slides, and uses Google Meet for videoconferencing.
"All of our employees, including our CEO, were unhappy with our old collaboration tools," says Michael. "When we moved to G Suite, the complaints stopped right away. Needless to say, the move was well received. I have never heard another complaint about our collaboration toolset. In IT, that's the highest form of compliment."
Modeling global finance
Since moving to Google Cloud Platform, Alpha Vertex's compute requirements have grown fivefold. The company has scaled easily while keeping headcount flat, and its monthly hosting bill still has not exceeded the amount it was paying previously for dedicated bare-metal servers. With a high-performance, scalable infrastructure, Alpha Vertex can try new ideas using more nuanced and complex models, and eventually will be able to extend its service to all global markets.
"By choosing Google Cloud Platform, we can remain a small business and still be global and cutting edge," says Mutisya. "As Google continues to provide us with early access to best-in-class technology such as Intel Xeon Skylake processors to run live alpha testing at scale, we can innovate even faster."

Ever have a bad day at the office?
After seven years of impeccable results, Anderson Silva finally had one in July.
At UFC 162, the middleweight champion was dethroned by upstart challenger Chris Weidman with a knockout that shocked the MMA world.
At UFC 168, Silva looks to return the favor and get his title belt back in Saturday's main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The Brazilian, who moved to Redondo Beach five years ago, was the king of the UFC mountain going into that fight. He was asked several times what was different about facing Weidman.
The response is a common Silva saying: "The fight's the fight."
Translation: No difference. We walk into the Octagon, the cage gets locked and we fight.
But his first tussle with Weidman was no ordinary fight. Silva, not unlike his boxing heroes Roy Jones Jr. and Muhammad Ali, is known for ducking and weaving and a fair amount of showmanship. The champ was in mid-juke feigning when he was stung by a Weidman punch that caught Silva flush on the chin.
Game over. Sixteen consecutive wins and 10 consecutive title defenses in the Octagon … done.
"I go inside the Octagon for fight. I don't joke because it's danger," Silva said last week, speaking English to reporters instead of his native Portuguese during a media gathering at his Muay Thai College in Torrance. "The last fight, I have the fault and Weidman win."
And while "the fight's the fight" still surfaces in interviews, the 38-year-old Silva conceded there is something different five months later.
"I train for long time. I watching the last fight and I see my technique and I talk to my friends and my coach and I no change too much," Silva said. "I train hard on my mental because my mental is bad."
Silva cited being with his coaches, friends and family as ways he has stayed sharper mentally.
Ed Soares, Silva's manager, said the major difference will be watching his fighter in the blue corner — the champion or favorite usually gets assigned the red one — for the first time since Silva fought 185-pound champion Rich Franklin for the title in 2006.
Soares also noted other changes.
"I mean, it's a little different but not much, I think my main concern, which I'm very happy about, is his mind's focused," Soares said. "He's in it, his mind's in it, he's trained hard, he's trained well. His mind's in the right place and I think it's gonna be a different turnout. I believe it will."
What Silva is all about is finding success through himself. This isn't about revenge or the belt. He said he has nothing to prove to anyone.
Not so for the new champion.
"I feel like to solidify my championship I need to defend my belt," Weidman, 29, said during a conference call last week. "And especially going at the same guy, you know. And everybody saying it was a fluke. And it's not really extra pressure. It's just more motivation to go out there and prove those guys wrong.
"So it's exciting, you know. I'm excited to go out there and prove them wrong."
Silva is quick to credit Weidman: "He's good man, has a great family. Good guy. Great champion."
Weidman, according to Soares, took advantage of a point in the fight Silva is used to owning — jumping all over an opponent's mistake.
"Anderson has said many times before, in every fight there's a magic moment. And Anderson is probably the best in the world at being able to capitalize for that magic moment," Soares said. "He waits for an opponent to make a mistake and he attacks at the right time. Unfortunately, that magic moment happened against him a few months ago against Chris Weidman."
Unlike their fight in July, Weidman won't be going into this fight after a long layoff for shoulder surgery or dealing with the burden of repairing his Long Island home gutted by Hurricane Sandy.
But he expects similar results.
"Just like any other fight, I want to go in there and get the finish," Weidman said. "I want to go out there and shine and show the world what I could do and prove myself — right? — on what I can do.
"And there's no better person to do it against than Anderson Silva."
Silva knows full well the ramifications of another loss.
What it could do to his title aspirations.
What is would mean to his fans.
And how it would affect his legacy.
"Now, I'm more complete. I got my big focus for this fight," Silva said. "And the fight is the fight. But I'm ready for this."

WITHOUT triclosan
WITHOUT bleaching agents
WITHOUT plastic particles
WITHOUT any limitations
Black? Yes, because most whitening pastes contain chemical bleaching agents. "Black Is White" toothpaste contains activated carbon. So it is black, truly black and the activated carbon absorbs precisely those particles that cause discoloration, especially tea, coffee, nicotine and red wine. Is Black Is White "enamel-friendly" in that case? Let's just say this: If it only could, it would snuggle up to tooth enamel. But it can! This is because the hydroxylapatite in Black Is White actually does snuggle up to the tooth enamel as a thin film. As a result, it protects the enamel and even fills in small holes. So our whitening toothpaste is exactly the opposite of other whitening toothpastes: in fact, it's quite helpful. In addition, Black Is White is slightly cooling; and a physical blue filter makes the teeth optically even whiter. Typical Curaprox: everything is included that you would expect from a Curaprox toothpaste: double protection against tooth decay from the sodium fluoride and its enzymatic system. Hydroxylapatite. RDA approximately 76. No SLS. (more product info)

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dates Set For 2008Share
The sprint will be on for Cup tickets in 2008 at Michigan International Speedway. NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series, now known as the NEXTEL Cup Series, will return to Michigan International Speedway for two race weekends in 2008. America's premier motorsports series with the country's biggest names in auto racing will celebrate 40 seasons of racing at MIS next year on June 15 and Aug. 17. "We have great momentum heading into the second half of this season and into next year," speedway President Roger Curtis said. "Much of this is largely based on the number of improvements that we made at the facility, the partnerships that we are making with the surrounding communities and at the state level, and in the extensive time we've taken to talk to the fans. We're dedicated to making Michigan International Speedway the premier motorsports venue in the Midwest showcasing the very best in motorsports entertainment." Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards and others will be joined by the drivers of the NASCAR Busch Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA RE/MAX Series during two weekends of racing on the famed, two-mile oval. Michigan International Speedway will not host the IndyCar Series in 2008 due to the inability to secure a viable date. "Since its inaugural running in 2002, Michigan International Speedway, the state of Michigan, city of Jackson and other local communities made a major commitment to growing the IndyCar Series event," Curtis said. "I had hoped that we'd be able to reach an agreement with the IRL for 2008 given our historical investment in open-wheel racing that dates back four decades. We will focus all of our efforts on elevating our remaining marquee events, including providing our fans with a first-class and memorable race day experience. "In addition, Michigan International Speedway will continue to seek growth opportunities by exploring the feasibility of developing a road course for potential rental and appropriate spectator events as well as other ancillary events that utilize the track facilities," Curtis continued. Race fans may see the IndyCar Series race at MIS on Aug. 5. The high-speed action of the Firestone Indy 400 is held on the series' only two-mile oval and is known for its thrilling and close finishes and wide racing groove.

How can the feature expressed in the printed Englishman's Concordance be obtained in BW6?
I.e. In Englishman's Concordance (EC) you can look up a word as found in your bible (I.e. LOVE) and find each Hebrew and Greek word that has been translated into the English word LOVE in your bible translation/version.
Below I give a fake example of what I'm trying to say EC does: (In this example I've looked up LOVE and see that two Hebrew words have been translated as love in my bible as have two Greek words.)
FGJYpol - Hebrew word meaning affection (See Psalms 2:1, Song 3:3)
opqwdd - Hebrew word meaning romantic love (See Exodus 12:45, Deut. 1:33)
jdhiuyy - Greek word meaning affection (See Matt. 12:15, Luke 5:12)
eoxm - Greek word meaning romantic love (See Matt 12:24, Mark 5:5)
How can I glean the same information from BW? If this feature is not in BW, can it be added in the future?


text: I used to know one of the engineers who developed the V-10 truck engine. It was based on the Viper design but not much would interchange. They are basically two different engines with the same displacement. It was held up three years before going into production so they could get the "whipping" problem on the crankshaft solved. The V-10 equiped pickups go cheap compared to similar trucks with the 6 banger Cummins because the V-10 is a VERY thirsty engine and doesn't have the durability of the oil burner.

Tennessee State University celebrates its 82nd Homecoming Game on Saturday, Sept. 29 when the Tigers host the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions. The game is slated for a 5 p.m. kickoff at LP Field.
This is the final non-conference game of the season for the Tigers as TSU went on the road and took down the #1 ranked HBCU in the country, defeating Bethune-Cookman, 21-14, last Saturday afternoon.
The TSU offense has gotten off to slow starts this season, but that wasn't this case vs. the Wildcats as Michael German connected with tight end A.C. Leonard for an 80-yard completion on the second play of the game. Trabis Ward would score from four yards out on the next play to put the Tigers up 7-0 only one minute, 15 seconds into the game.
German finished the game completing nine of 17 passes for 154 yards and an interception.
On TSU's first full drive of the 2nd quarter, Trabis Ward would find the end zone for the second time in the game, this time from six yards out to give the Tigers a two touchdown edge. The Tigers converted a 4th and 4 on the B-CU 33-yard line to extend the drive when German completed a 24 yard catch-and-run to Travis James.
Ward had 27 rushes, one away from tying his career-high set in the season opener, for 154 yards and two scores. He now has seven touchdowns on the season and has scored at least once in every game this season.
The Tennessee State victory snapped an eight-game winning streak by Bethune-Cookman against FCS opponents dating back to October of last season. It's also the first home loss for the Wildcats since September 10, 2011.
TSU starts a season 4-0 for the first time since 2008. The last time the Tigers started the season 5-0 was in 2001 when they started 6-0.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff improved to 3-1 on the season as they proved that they can be legitimate contenders for a SWAC Championship defeating Alabama State 24-21 on September 20, in front of 18,000 people and a national broadcast audience.
The Golden Lions got on the scoreboard first when Justin Billings scored on a one yard run, to cap off a nine play, 80 yard drive with 8:09 left in the first quarter. Alabama State would answer back when Isaiah Crowell scored from four yards out to tie the ballgame at seven. Not to be outdone, UAPB quarterback, Ben Anderson found Ladrius Eckwood on a 27 yard touchdown toss to give the Golden Lions a 14-7 going into the half
The Hornets came out of the locker room for the second half and took the opening drive 82 yards on ten plays to tie the ballgame at 14-14. But once again, the Golden Lions proved to be clicking on all cylinders when place kicker Tyler Strickland nailed a 50 yard field goal to give the Golden Lions a 17-14 lead at the 5:24 mark of the third quarter.
Billings would find pay dirt one more time as he galloped 39 yards for his second touchdown of the contest. Billings lead all rushers with 127 yards on 12 carries. Alabama State would score one more time on 17 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Greg Jenkins to Justin Robinson to push the score to 24-21. The Hornets came close to tying the ballgame but came up short on a missed field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter.
Defensively, the Golden Lions were lead by Alabama native Bill Ross, who tallied 10 stops and one sack on the evening. Brandon Roberts of Alabama State had 15 stops, respectively.
This is the first ever meeting in football between the two schools.

DALLAS - The Dallas Mavericks have found an early groove without some key players.
O.J. Mayo and Chris Kaman each scored 22 points as the short-handed Mavericks won their third straight game, beating the Toronto Raptors 109-104 Wednesday night.
The Mavericks, who jumped out to a 16-point lead early in the second quarter, improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2007-08 despite playing without forwards Shawn Marion and Elton Brand. Marion was sidelined with a sprained left knee ligament, and Brand left the team to be with his wife for the birth of his second child.
In addition, 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki hasn't played this season as he recovers from right knee surgery.
"We've got guys picking it up while guys are injured," Kaman said. "We're on a little bit of a roll and we're just going to try to keep it going."
Dallas shot 46 per cent after hitting more than 60 per cent of its shots in victories over Charlotte and Portland. The Mavericks have averaged 116.3 points during their winning streak.
"I liked the way we played for the most part," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We had some lapses during the game, but the starting lineup got us off to a good start."
Andrea Bargnani scored 25 points and DeMar DeRozan added 24 for the Raptors, who are 3-14 in Dallas. Starting point guard Kyle Lowry, the team's leading scorer, didn't play after spraining his right ankle Tuesday night against Oklahoma City.
The Raptors trailed by double digits most of the game before narrowing the lead to five in the final minute.
"The group we had in there played with a purpose," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. "They really put us in position to win the game after having a slow start."
Vince Carter hit a pair of 3-pointers for Dallas in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter to spark a 10-3 run. Troy Murphy's jumper put the Mavericks up 92-77 with 9:01 remaining before Toronto rallied.
Dominic McGuire's layup cut Dallas' lead to 105-99, and DeRozan hit a jumper to make it 109-104 with 31.5 seconds left.
The Raptors couldn't get any closer as they missed a pair of 3-pointers in the final 10 seconds.
"It's a process," Casey said. "I can see us growing and getting better from this second half."
After scoring 62 points in his previous two games, Mayo shot 8 for 17. Carter scored 17 points against his former club and Darren Collison chipped in 15.
Kaman, who missed the first two games of the season with a strained right calf, started in place of Brand and played 33 minutes. Mavericks rookie Jae Crowder made his first career start in place of Marion, who is expected to miss three games.
"I anticipated playing a little more with Elton out," said Kaman, who also grabbed eight rebounds. "I didn't know it would be so much. I'm definitely not in the shape I was in before I got injured."
The Mavericks led 61-50 and pushed their advantage to 15 points midway through the third quarter behind Mayo's seven points.
The Raptors outscored the Mavericks 12-5 the rest of the period to get within 82-74, the closest they'd been since the first quarter.
Toronto's Amir Johnson had 18 points and 11 rebounds off the bench, and Alan Anderson scored 13.
Kaman scored eight points in the first quarter as the Mavericks jumped out to a 36-24 lead after the first quarter.
The Mavericks stretched their lead to 42-26 early in the second before the Raptors rallied. Bargnani scored five points in an 11-4 run that brought Toronto within nine.
NOTES: Casey was an assistant with the Mavericks from 2008-11. ... Dallas television announcer Mark Followill returned after missing two games while recovering from a bicycle accident. .. Bargnani played in his 403rd game, tying Carter for fifth place on the Raptors' career list. ... The Mavericks are 28-22 without Nowitzki.

Since 2005 the Hindu Swayam Sevak Sangh in Californiahas held an annual Guru Vandana, or Teacher's Appreciation day. In June, 2011, 15 teachers participated and were delighted, with tears in their eyes, to have their feet touched and tilak applied by Hindu teens and young children. The kids were thrilled to express appreciation to those who have worked so hard to help them learn. http://bit.ly/guruvandana
In December 2011 Vishwa Niketan, a school for poor children, opened in Bangladesh, funded by a US non-profit, International Gita Society (IGS). IGS was founded in 1984 by Dr. Ramanananda Prasad, retired US Navy official and professor at San Jose State University. To date the IGS has distributed over 100,000 copies of the Bhagavad Gita worldwide. It is one of several new initiatives by Hindus in the United States to strengthen Hindu communities in the lands of their roots.
Students of Australia's Sydney sanskrit school are not just studying Sanskrit, they are conversing in the language. Five years after being founded, the school is growing in numbers. Its annual Samskrutotsavam, literally "Sanskrit festival," held in November 2011 at the Dundas Community Centre, was a huge success. All the performances and many keynote speeches were voiced in Sanskrit. Shri Cha Mu Krishna Shastry, the founder of Samskrita Bharati, an organization advocating the revival of spoken Sanskrit, was invited as the guest of honor from India. See samskritabharati.in and www.samskritabharatiusa.org for information on this growing movement. The mission targets this vision: "Revival of Sanskrit as a mass communication language and facilitation of common man's access to its vast knowledge treasure. To attain social harmony and national integration by taking Sanskrit to the masses, regardless of caste and creed." Hindus in Australia are taking giant steps toward fulfill these goals.
India declared Swami VivekAnanda's birthday a National Youth Day in 1984. This year was his 150th birth anniversary. On January 12, 2012, the Swarna Bhoomi Gurukulam School in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu staged a special tribute to honor the Hindu leader and his noble values as a source of inspiration. Dressed as Swami Vivekananda, 370 students from kindergarten to standard 10 stood in his "most famous and attractive posture" for fifteen minutes. The student body received two world records for their feat, one for the most people dressed up like Swami Vivekananda and a second for the most people to stand in the same posture for 15 minutes without moving.
In November 2011 the US Commission on International Religious Freedom released an unusual study, "Connecting the Dots: Education and Religious Discrimination in Pakistan," as part of its work to monitor the rise of religious extremism in that country. The study was conducted by the International Center for Religion & Diplomacy (ICRD) in Washington, DC, in partnership with Paksitan's own Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Islamabad.
According to the study, despite Pakistan's constitutional mandate to protect members of all faiths, its education system was infused with rigid Islamic content by General Zia-Ul Haq. In 1979, he set policy to "reorganize curriculum content around Islamic thought so that Islamic ideology permeates the thinking of the younger generation and helps them with the necessary conviction and ability to refashion society according to Islamic tenets." In 2006, the government of Pakistan took steps toward reform, including efforts to reverse educational Islamization. But there has been little progress. Incidents of violence against minorities—Hindus, Christians and Ahmadi Muslims (a peaceful, modern reformist sect of Islam)—continue on a regular basis. The study constituted an effort to better understand the situation and help define remedies.
ICRD and SDPI reviewed more than 100 textbooks from grades 1 to 10 from all of Pakistan's four provinces. In addition they interviewed 277 students and teachers from 37 public middle and high schools and 226 students and teachers from 19 madrassas (religious schools).
The report states, "The results are eye-opening and concerning. Hindus were described in especially negative terms, and references to Christians were often inaccurate and offensive. A majority of students viewed non-Muslims as the enemies of Islam. This is particularly troubling in light of the fact that nearly all students considered jihad (the violent form) to be obligatory."

China's legendary power of securing market share by manufacturing replicas of products originally designed and produced in other countries have recently turned to India. China Willken Arts and Crafts Ltd. in Xiamen has mastered the craft of inexpensive polyresin religious statues. A couple of years ago they introduced Ganesha and Buddha for auto dashboards. They sold well. Realizing the potential, the company extended the offering to include larger statues meant for puja rooms. Today their Hindu God Statues line has more than 500 images.
The manufacturer has done their homework. Even statues of saints like Baba Loknath, Shirdi Sai Baba and Ramakrishna Paramahamsa have gone into production and sale. A minimum order is 500 pieces. During India's festival season they arrive in container loads at Kolkata. Indian distributors say they are hand finished by Chinese households, inexpensive, can be sold for low prices and don't threaten local craftsmen because Indians don't make this type of statue. See: www.alibaba.com/member/dongqiujing.html
In 1999 unesco designated the My Son sanctuary in Vietnam a World Heritage site. This is good news for Hindus, who can now rest assured that this treasure will be preserved. The site represents an ancient settlement and sanctuary area; eight groups of tower temples have been singled out. All are constructed in fired brick with stone pillars.
The Hindu architecture of Cambodia and Indonesia are well known, but not many know that a Hindu kingdom also reigned along the Vietnamese coast from the 4th to the 13th centuries. My Son, a small valley flanked by mountains, was the capital and religious center of the Champa Kingdom, which originated in 192 ce and was deeply influenced by the Saiva Agama tradition. Between the sixth and tenth centuries, fine temples were built for Krishna and Vishnu, but above all for Siva. Champa was eventually absorbed by the growing power of Vietnam to the North.

Madrassa Baitul Islam, a Deobandi Muslim seminary in Matli, Pakistan, is buying Hindu conversions. They keep meticulous logs, and, as of December 22, 2011, they had converted their 428th Hindu to Islam. A conversion can cost from a few thousand to fifty thousand rupees. A newly converted family receives Rs 5,000, a copy of the Koran, free housing for several months, ready access to medical care, national ID cards and land.
Hindu and Muslim priests in India are starting a campaign to add a new marriage vow to the ceremony: a promise never to indulge in the illegal practice of pre-natal sex determination. Over 308 pandits and maulvis have pledged their support in this campaign to save female children.
temple elephants in Tamil Nadu were given a 48-day vacation in December, 2011. Trucks fetched elephants from various temples and maths and took 45 weary pachyderms to a rejuvenation camp in the Mudumalai coastal forests for rest and a nourishing diet that included herbal medications and vitamins.
