I've been practicing a lot these days and I just dropped 400 rating points on Tactics Trainer. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get better?
hide the clock. The clock makes you rush the moves. You still play against it but don't see it. It is one of the options.
To be honest, I kind of think that it's possible to get higher scores on the Tactics Trainer by "half-guessing" if you will. I don't mean just looking at the first queen sac and doing it, but if it seems like it's likely that a certain move will come out well, even if you don't see the precise conclusion of the tactic, you can still often be right. It's typical to play a move that seems like it's the move, and only find the rest of the combination as you play it out. On the trainer, this is of course a tempting thing to do, since whether you check the problem or not can make all the difference in the amount of points you get.
But does this really help you? Guessing if a tactic will be there? I think you should try to only make a move if you can confidently say to yourself that if you had that position in a tournament game, you would actually be comfortable playing it, given how much of the combination you saw. If you would be a little shy about giving away your queen in a real game after ten seconds of thought, I suggest to actually calculate the ensuing play a little bit! It might not get you more points, but you will actually learn the tactic and go through the discipline of calculating with precision. It will make you feel more responsible for finding the correct idea -- exactly the kind of disposition one has in a tournament.

The celebration also features the return of last year's formal dance and late-night rave Friday night. For more info, visit metaconvention.com.

From the Inside Flap
Winston Churchill, 1940
Geoffrey Wellum was one of Churchills "few," the gallant pilots of the RAF who streaked through the skies to repel the massive, brutal Nazi bombing assaults that killed thousands and leveled entire cities throughout the endless months of the Battle of Britain. To a man, they were courageous, determined, and oh, so young. Geoffrey, known as Boy to his comrades, was a good deal younger than most.
In First Light, Geoffrey Wellum tells the inspiring, often terrifying true story of his coming of age amid the roaring, tumbling dogfights of the fiercest air war the world had ever seen. It is the story of an idealistic schoolboy who couldnt believe his luck when the RAF agreed to take him on as a "pupil pilot" at the minimum age of seventeen and a half in 1939. In his fervor to fly, he gave little thought to the coming war.
Writing with wit, compassion, and a great deal of technical expertise, Wellum relives his grueling months of flight training, during which two of his classmates crashed and died. He describes a hilarious scene during his first day in the prestigious 92nd Squadron when his commander discovered that Wellum had not only never flown a Spitfire, hed never even seen one.
Boy soon learned the golden rule of the dogfight: "Never fly straight and level for more than twenty seconds. If you do, youll die." Wellums vivid accounts of ferocious aerial combat contrast the mortal terror of an innocent teenager with the grim determination of a highly trained warrior intent on doing his jobblasting the enemy one moment, desperately trying to shake off a pursuer the next. Few writers have succeeded more completely in evoking the chaos and horror of war.
A battle-hardened ace by the winter of 1941, though still not out of his teens, Boy flew scores of missions as fighter escort on bombing missions over France. Yet the constant life-or-death stress of murderous combat and anguish over the loss of his closest friends sapped endurance. Tortured by fierce headaches, even in the midst of battle, he could not bear the thought of "not pulling your weight," of letting other pilots risk their lives in his place. Wellums frank account of his long, losing bout with battle fatigue is both moving and enlightening.
Filled with affectionate portraits of Boys fellow fliersmany of whom did not survive the warFirst Light tells an unforgettable true story of patriotism and fear, pride and humility, self-sacrifice and triumph. Already a bestseller in England, this powerful and compelling memoir is destined to become a classic, not only of military history, but also of literature.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Recent data published in MMWR showed that young children living in Flint, Michigan, had higher blood lead levels after the city switched to water sourced from the Flint River.
"This crisis was entirely preventable, and a startling reminder of the critical need to eliminate all sources of lead from our children's environment," Patrick Breysse, PhD, director of the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health, said in a press release. "CDC is committed to continued support for the people of Flint through our Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention program and efforts to raise awareness and promote action to address the critical public health issue in communities across the country."

I am an avid fan of the Duggars and this book exceeded my expectations. I have already made the Tatertot Cassarole and my husband and I loved it. I'm looking forward to trying all the other recipes. Reading about how Jim Bob and Michelle met and have lived their lives is so inspiring. May God continue His blessings on the Dugger family.
I am immensely enjoying this book, it has so many fun facts and spiritually sound with great advice for any family.
(This is a tremendous difference to the Jon & Kate plus 8 book, which I read but was so disappointing & lacking in advice or tips.) I am even dying to try the recipes found in here, they look yummy, easy to make & above all inexpensive to cook up. They are such a refreshing family to see these days in television when everything else is a waste of time with no real benefit. What a wholesome, great family to look up to in all the things they do, I applaud their hard work, spirituality, business sense and family first approach.
May God keep blessing them in all ways.
I thought it was very interesting.
i got to know how they lived & even how the kids were raised though I don't know all the kids by name( their all Js)
I like reading about this family and how they interact with one another. This family has christian values that we can learn from.
This is a great testimony from this couple about relying on God! Enjoyed reading about their ups and downs, how they have relied on God for everything and how they share the Word with others. Good tips, recipes inside also. Had never heard of this couple before, but enjoyed reading about them immensely. Have read it several times now. Always see something new each time.
I've watched the Duggar family on tv for several years now, and was very interested to learn more about them. I wasn't sure this book would fill my information cravings, but it offers far more than I expected. It gives background and insight into their family, beyond what you see on tv. I found their personal struggles over the years, and how they maintained their faith, very inspirational and encouraging. The book is an easy read and has a lot of extra bonuses.
I really enjoyed this book. Easy read. I read it within 2 days. I really enjoy hearing about this family. The book went into more details then I thought it would, even talking about their struggles over the years. If you watch their TV show you will definitely like this book. I have four kids (not near their crew) and I feel that they give hope for those "families with faith". Children are a blessing!!! Can't wait for another book.
I have really enjoyed both books that I have gotten from the Duggars. They inspire parents to be the best Christian parents we can be and gives the verses to use as a following. It doesn't tell you to go out and have 19 kids like they do, but it is a great tool for 1 or 2 kids or if you decide more... it also gives you a look into their lives... recipes use...business tools used, etc.
Great book by Awesome Christian people!
I am an avid fan of 18 and Counting and admire this family greatly. This is a well written book and explains everything from the beginning of their romance to now. It is inspiring and I read it in two days. I also love that they put some of their favorite recipes in the book and I am looking forward to trying them. (smaller portions, of course)
I bought this book knowing I would be somewhat interested in it. Im an avid follower of the family. I watch all their shows. Well the book was beyond what I was expecting. It was great I especially loved the recipes and little inserts from each Duggar. I hope they come out with another book soon. I finished this one within hours!
This book was awesome! It's full of cute stories and pictures. They also give recipes and advice. They answer all the questions you might have had about how they manage with such a big family. If you're a fan of the show you will love it! I just wish they'd write another book very soon!
This book was a fun and inspiring book to read. It really makes you think on how big families like the Duggars survive in this world. Truely a book that you could read more than once and share with your friends and family.
Thanks so much to the Duggars! I couldn't put the book down because i love their family and the example they are setting! They have definatly found God's purpose for them! =D
This book was a great, inspirational read. Very useful ideas and recipes. But most of all enjoyed their christian views on raising their children. A must read for any mom!!
My grandmother enjoy the book
This book about the Duggar family is enjoyable to read. They share family types for raising a large family, as well as some of their favorite recipes.
This is a great book. An easy read. Anyone that likes the Duggars will enjoy reading this book and learning more about the Duggar family.
I loved the book just as much as the show. The recipes are for a huge family though but if you're having a party their great.
i love the show and am glad i bought this book, i find this family fascinating and for the low price how could you go wrong

A well organized and informative book that helped me quickly understand what I needed to know to decide what type of business model to use. It goes over many different types (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, C corporation, S corporation...) and gives you the pros and cons of each. It did a good job of explaining the legal and tax issues without giving me a headache! That's saying something as I am not a lawyer or an accountant and reading things like this are usually a pain... not so with this book.

Skip to comments.Hope alive for nerd like me ("I voted for Barack Obama because of his skin color")
Posted on 06/14/2009 4:32:36 PM PDT by LA Woman3
The realization recently hit: I voted for Barack Obama because of his skin color.
For a thoughtful, responsible voter, the admission was mildly jarring. Not that I regret having done it. I couldnt be more proud.
Ive never based my vote on superficial matters. I voted on the mandate, never the man (or woman).
Now I must admit that I mainly voted for Obama because he is black, like me.
This is not to say I didnt like what he articulated for our sagging economy, our schools and for organizing the chaos of the Iraq war. But I have to admit that Obamas race was important. He represents symbolic change in how our society perceives people like me.
The widespread image of black culture in America is discouraging. A Stanford University study last year found that 40 percent of white Americans polled held at least partly negative views about us.
Given a choice of positive and negative adjectives to describe blacks, 29 percent said complaining applied. Twenty percent said violent. Thirteen percent said lazy. Eleven percent said irresponsible.
And I certainly do not believe that most whites are racists. Rather, images of blacks in the mainstream media condition people of all colors to think, if not the worst, then certainly not the best about us.
Blacks dont always help dispel these images. Examine our own culture and pop culture: Crayons in fist, we often draw, and then salute, a socially crippling caricature.
And so: Blacks make up roughly 11 percent of the population, but in the prison population theyre more than 44 percent.
Nationally, 93 percent of black men murdered annually will die at the hands of another black man. And more than 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock.
Obamas presidency can change so much.
Growing up in Tyler, I was nerdy. Worse, I wasnt coordinated enough to succeed in where most African-Americans in my community got recognized: sports.
My dream? Not to be a pro jock but to be president. It sounded outrageous as to draw laughs. Youre crazy, my stepfather retorted. America is never going to elect a black man president.
For whites, Obamas historic achievement occasions for them a chance to see and experience a side of black culture that runs counter to stereotypes. For blacks, it gives us a chance to rewrite our collective narrative.
Im not so naïve as to think this president is the elixir to cure Americas race problems. Im acutely aware of those who still face the deep-cutting sword of systematic oppression.
So I temper my hopes. But those hopes are now realistic and largely because of this historic election. It officially has placed America on a path to fulfill and protect the boldest assertion of our founding principles, That all men are created equal.
That is why I voted for Barack Obama. It may seem superficial, vain, even pathetic. But it is change that I believe in.
Chris Scott, a 2004 graduate of Baylor University and a former candidate for the Waco city council, is pursuing a Masters of Divinity degree at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Another case where someone decided to take the red pill instead of the blue pill.
Rare someone admits to being a racist.
But then again, almost everyone who voted for the TOTUS-reader was a racist, since skin color is the only qualification he has.
And if I as a white man voted for a white man for president, I'd be called a "racist".
And I'm glad that although our country is headed down the $h!tter on the world stage, at least we're being led by a black man fighting for homosexual marriage....
Ummm... Chris... you just did.
This person needs to take a long hard look at the new "post racial" America. Where all whites are now racist no matter who they voted for.
Ummm... Chris... you just did.
Sorry, genius, he's not black. According to the U.S. Census way of determining these things, he's Arabic.
He's not admitting that he's a racist so much as he's admitting that he's stupid, and proud of it.
Liberals: it's all about feeelings.
"Obamas presidency can change so much."
Hey, Chris, could you please provide a list of things you expect Obama to cdhange? And describe how exactly he will effect that change.
Like.......what, exactly?
Barry is doing a poor job of it.
I'm sorry to the writer of this piece but IMHO Obma has set back race relations a decade not to mention that he is screwing up so badly that I'm starting to wonder at 48yo if I will ever see another black be trusted enough to ever be elected to the executive branch again?
In fairness though, how many Irish Catholics voted for JFK because he was an Irish Catholic? Or how many women voted for Hillary Clinton because she was a woman?
My one hope with Obama was that he might do something to shift black culture away from crime and illegitimacy, by inspiration. I don't think he's said a single word in that direction since he was elected.
I'm not sure what is worse, voting based on skin color or voting to get more pie at the expense of your fellow citizens. In the last election voting for Zero based on substance was not possible based on the empty suit, and empty record.
I sometimes pity the black people that voted for Obama, because when all is said and done, Obama will be the worst president this country has ever known. It really is unfortunate.
Barf Alert?
Hey Chris, you will find out how people think about blacks like you when the man you voted for leads us down the shitter. Obama might be the worst thing that ever happened to blacks. He still has not proven that he is eligible to BE President!
We knew that. Obama won with the racist vote
I read some very serious commentary in 1980 or so, maybe in The New Republic, that Carter's disastrous presidency guaranteed that we wouldn't see another governor from a southern state as President for a VERY long time. *cough*
I wish Chris the best in his pursuit of an advanced degree, but what things exactly did he expect to "change"? Black men are still murdering black men and the worst of black racism has been validated, not transcended, by such luminaries as Jeremiah Wright. Is tokenism only patronizing when white people engage in it? Or is it patronizing when anyone does?
Mr. Scott, you're still deluded. He isn't black like you. He shares nothing of your life experience.
At most, he can be described as not exactly white, but with a white mother. raised by white grandparents, educated in the lap of privilege.
How much do you have in common with such a person? Not as much as I do. Which is to say, very little.
Congratulations upon inching a little further out of the illusion, though.
Chris could have just as easily said: "I am a racist".
"Another case where someone decided to take the red pill instead of the blue pill."
Or cut the red wire instead of the Blue.
Obama is a Communist, a narcissist, a baby-killer, an ignoramus, a thug, a liar, an economic illiterate, a lover of tyrants and tyranny, a hater of America, and almost certainly not a citizen.
The fact that Americans elected a black man is the ONLY good thing about his election.
Obama's interests don't lie in that direction, and never have. His interest is in maintaining grievance whatever the cost, in order to further his precious "change," a code word recognized the world over.
Sounds like another "minister" to the oppressed.
I would have voted for a decent black man. Herman Cain for instance.
Now I must admit that I mainly voted for Obama because he is black, like me.
You mean "negative views" like racism?prejudice?
Too bad Obama... does not seem to believe That all men (nor women) are created equal. He proves this by nominating Sonia Sotomayor!
It's well known that most people (including most blacks) are reluctant to go to a black doctor, because of the fear that they may have become a doctor through "affirmative action". If you need real, serious, medical care, you want a real doctor. Of course, this hurts all of the black doctors whose achievements were completely legitimate.
Chris Scott is a racist idiot.
To get that, it would have been better to vote for Bill Cosby.
Cris, you are a racist - admit it. And worse than that, you think all whites are racists too, and we're not. We judged Obama by his deeds, not his empty promises of change..... you judged him by his skin color. How sad.
Neo took the red pill leading to truth and reality. The blue pill leads to the matrix fantasy land.
(Republican = red. Democrat = blue.)
Ain't that speshul.
This guy should have an adult proof-read his work. It is the rant of a stupid racist dumbass.
A Master's typically requires one to have learned analytical thinking. Apparently, Chris Scott fails in such because he voted for a man because of his color. =.=
For a thoughtful, responsible voter ...
This entire article is juvenile, and full of self-aggrandizing fabrications.
Princeton Divinity, eh? ROTFL.
Very good point. If Michelle would shout to young girls in this country that they should not be having babies to prove their love to some boy- stay in school, make a life for themselves and find a husband BEFORE starting a family, she would do a great service to us all. Instead she will just continue to push organic gardening and tell black school children in DC that she was made fun of because she talked "like a white girl"
Painfully naive. We accept your 2% apology. Now start thinking like a sentient being and consider how badly you just might've been fooled about every other aspect of this guy. And don't tell us. Just think about it.
Congressman Billybob
"...sorry to the writer of this piece but IMHO Obma has set back race relations a decade"
I say the same thing but my estimate is FIFTY years.
sorry chris, unlike you i base my opinions of people on their character, not color of their skin
He believes in a ban on gay marriage, 9.5% unemployment and dropping missiles on Pakistan illegally?
I wonder how Mr. Scott will feel when it is inescapably established that the One has been a complete fraud from the outset and is the first president who is both a fraud not entitled to hold the office and a worldwide embarrassment as well as the first U. S. President to set out consciously to give victory to the other side in a war?

Hands off my boards, bro.
The Atomic Women's Century 102 Ski is happiest when the snow's soft and the line choices are endless, in and out of the resort, but it will still bust through chop and crud like it's not even there when you're hungry for storm leftovers and wind-affected snow. The versatile 102mm waist provides enough float on the deep days and remains narrow enough that you can lay it on edge when you're arcing turns down steep groomers, and Atomic's Powder Rocker combines edgy, powerful camber underfoot with generous rocker in the tip and slightly raised tail to keep you stable at speed, surfy in soft snow, and able to pivot on a dime when you're snaking through jacket-grabbing trees.
To keep the weight down, Atomic built the Century on a Light Woodcore that helps absorb vibrations but is still light and playful when you're squiggling through tight chutes and billygoating around rocks. The Step Down Sidewall construction blends underfoot sidewalls with a half-cap design at the tip and tail to increase edge hold and torsional stiffness while keeping swing weight low and turn initiation buttery smooth, giving you the benefit of both designs to endow the Century with an inimitably smooth combination of power, nimbleness, and aggression.

Have questions about this product?
So far so good!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Got these for touring but had the maiden voyage on some groomers. Coming from someone who hasn't skied for about a decade, they seem like a really comfortable all-around ski. Floaty on the little bit of powder I was able to find, lightweight and quick. Excited to get out in to the backcountry with these beauties!

Looking for lodging in Hastings or near Prescott, Red Wing, and the St. Croix/Mississippi Rivers? Why stay in a hotel when you can book this 1890 Cottage in the heart of Hastings!? The location is within easy walking distance to the historic downtown and the Mississippi River. It is also convenient to St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the many miles of renowned scenery in the river valleys.
****** SEE RATE BREAKS for staying more nights and please check for available dates (use the calendar buttons on this Web page). Also, NOTE: We will be happy offer a 2-night rental deal for an appropriate rate. ******
Built in 1890, and extensively remodeled more than 100 years later, the house has 1 BR on the ground floor (king bed), 2 BRs upstairs, and full bathrooms on both levels. It has plenty of space indoors and out for a small group, including a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, main floor laundry, front porch (with table and chairs), back patio, and an extra-large backyard. The location provides outstanding access to recreational and scenic attractions and is a great base from which to enjoy the rivers and many miles of exceptional trails.
Need to stay in touch and entertained? We provide a WiFi connection, basic cable TV (living room and main bedroom), a huge selection of DVDs, Netflix access, and many books. The house also features a classic 70s-era Yamaha stereo receiver with a connection for your portable and switchable speakers in both the living room and kitchen.
Hastings is a historic river community with vibrant downtown businesses, classic cars on cruise nights (every two weeks in summer), and many other special community events. Local and nearby attractions include shopping and dining, the 1860 LuDuc Mansion/Estate (open for tours in season), Mississippi River parklands, Vermillion Falls/Gorge Park, and many other cultural and recreational sites. Hastings is located ideally for access to the Twin Cities (30 minutes from the airport and the Mall of America) while also convenient to Minnesota's most scenic rivers, including Lake Pepin and the bluff country to the southeast. Nearby river towns include Afton, Prescott (WI), Welch, Red Wing, Lake City, and Pepin (WI).
*** News for 2016... The new Hastings Bridge project is now long complete, including a pedestrian/bicycle trail over the Mississippi River. Major downtown riverfront park and trail improvements are also complete (see photos). Downtown Hastings and the bridge are located only blocks from the rental. ***
In addition to outstanding boating, fishing, and swimming, nearby parks/attractions include Levee Park next to the bridge, Spring Lake Park Reserve (Schaar's Bluff), Lock & Dam # 2 (and adjacent trails/parks), Carpenter Nature Center, St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park, Freedom and Kinnickinnic State Parks (in WI), several golf courses, and countless other parks with abundant paved and hiking trails.

Ann, Doug, & Family - We enjoy boating and swimming on the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers, bicycling around Hastings, and downhill or cross-country skiing at Welch Village and throughout the area. Doug was also involved in planning/design for the new Hastings Bridge since 2008, with the project completed in 2014.
Doug purchased this house in 2011
We have a long family history of boating and canoeing on the area's lakes and rivers. We keep our boat at this house and enjoy the access Hastings provides to both the metro area and to the wilds and small towns in the river valleys. Please feel free to ask us about things to do.
The St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers provide the best recreation areas and scenery found in the Twin Cities Metro region. Hastings is an ideal location from which to enjoy the whole area!
From Guestbook: Jan-Mar 2013--Coldest winter in MN in over 5 years! I questioned my sanity for moving here; but this little house made it easy.
Perfect setup for my transition from Indiana to Minnesota. I brought clothes and that was about it!
Everything works - it was simply a great place to stay. My heartfelt thanks go to Doug & Ann for allowing me the privilege of staying in the Hastings Cottage. Please take care of my first MN home!
This accurately described cottage was quaint, clean, comfortable and in a friendly neighborhood. The modern facilities in this home combined a touch of history with life in 2016. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings. We would caution anyone with small children that the street is the primary street into the larger neighborhood and is busy but there is plenty of room in the backyard for small children to romp worry free. The "rules" of the house were clear and indicated a well maintained home. Working with Doug was very, very easy. He answered our questions promptly and made himself available during our stay in case we had problems, which we did not. The City of Hastings offers many natural wonders on the Mississippi River. We enjoyed our daily walks in several parks that offered a tremendous view of the bridge and told the history of Hastings. We enjoyed our week there and we think you would too.
Amazig property that was perfect for our wedding party to stay at for the long weekend. We love the rest, the welcoming home, and the excellent communication by the owner! Seriously blown away.
After looking for extended stay accommodations at hotels for a pending professional move to the area, I realized there must be another way to find long-term stay options that would feel more like home (not to mention less expensive). I searched VRBO and found the Hastings Cottage. The price was perfectly furnished for my 90+ day stay. The cottage was clean and just the right communication from Doug left me feeling more at home than other accommodations. The commute into the Twin Cities metro area was also reasonable when relating it to the price. Thanks Doug! I will mention this option if other new colleagues find themselves in a similar professional move situation.
The Five Sisters had a wonderful weekend in the Hastings Cottage and along the Mississippi River. The cottage delivered everything that was promised. We give it two thumbs up. Hastings has a wonderful trail system for biking or walking, nice shops & restaurants downtown, and anything else you might need close by.
Very nice place to stay. Very clean, close to the river and restaurants. Would recommend.
Five nights of cozy clean comfort at Christmas time! We enjoyed all the amenities - stereo/radio, television, DVDs, Netflix, fully equipped kitchen (including dishwasher), and laundry facilities. Outside we enjoyed a winter wonderland, with fresh snow but promptly cleared sidewalks for neighborhood walks. The cottage has great bedrooms upstairs and downstairs and an electric fire/heater in the living room. Stay here and you'll find winter warmth and coziness throughout. We look forward to coming back to enjoy spring, summer, and fall too!

Children's Literature - Beverly KobrinHow Do Bears Sleep? Might they "make up a bed / Of dry leaves and stones, Or lie on the ground / Just resting [their] bones...?" Or "twist...turn... snarl and get grumpy...tear up [their] bed when it starts feeling lumpy?" Author/artist E. J. Bird's poetic musings and amusing paintings are not to be missed when hibernating bears are on the agenda.
Editorial Reviews
School Library JournalK-Gr 3-- Many questions are posed in verse about what goes on inside a bear's den during the winter months. ``Does he make up a bed of dry leaves and stones, or lie on the ground just resting his bones?'' queries the narrative poem. Questions such as these are never answered, and readers are led to believe that man knows almost nothing about hibernating bears. The statement is made in the author's note that ``all living things have little clocklike gadgets buried somewhere inside'' telling them when to get hungry and when to sleep. Even the youngest readers deserve better terminology and explanation. Gray paper is used as the background for simple pen-and-ink drawings washed with light pastels. The sleeping bear, in its many positions, is amusing in a somewhat cartoonlike style. More a picture-book read-aloud than a nature book, this offers little information about bears or hibernation. --Diane Nunn, Richard E. Byrd Elem . School, Glen Rock, NJ

Gender Studies students Abby and Riley ended a banner year as the GAP coordinators shared the Student Advocate for Diversity award, given by the Action Council on Diversity and Inclusion administered by T.J. McDowell. We will miss them next year, but fully expect that the new coordinators will carry on their spirit of international awareness, collaboration and inclusiveness.
Wortmann & Spilker's excellent teaching
Both Dr. Sue Wortmann and Dr. John Spilker were nominated by students for NWU's highest teaching honor, the Margaret J. Prouty award, this spring. While neither Gender Studies professor was selected this year, Sue (professor of Women and Crime and Sociology of Gender) won the Exemplary Teacher award in 2015 and John (professor of Sex and the Arts and Music and Gender) won the Exemplary Teacher award in 2014. Previous Exemplary Teachers also include Dr. Meghan Winchell and Dr. Sandy McBride. This year's Prouty nominations show that both students and faculty recognize that Sue and John are outstanding professors.

Impressive work, Gender Advocacy Place!
GENDer Gold/#NWU Prairie Wolf Gold Day
Lisa Wilkinson, Gerise Herndon and prospective students had great conversations about philosophy, literature, study abroad, and our inclusive campus on PW Gold day. The word is getting out: Gender Studies was always about inclusivity, and a wider audience is recognizing the liberating potential of this academic field.
One parent told us that having a Gender Studies program was the "crème de la crème" of NWU's inclusive and welcoming campus. Thanks to Hailey Bird and Caity Bentzinger for volunteering!
