scholarships for African American women
Elsewhere on this blog I wrote about my childhood memories of walking 5miles each direction to school with my fellow village friends.
Whilst everything turned out ok for me, I still have sleepless nights just thinking about how things could have been different for the girls I used to attend class with, had they had similar opportunities such as scholarships for African American women.
In the third World, boys receive first preference for education, and girls, no matter how good the intention, end up being married off. As cruel as this may sound, this practice is steeped in thousands of years of tradition, and not likely to end soon.
Sure, times have changed, and most traditions are changing, but that's in urban areas, whilst the rural areas move on as if time has not changed an inch.
Now, in an increasingly competitive job market such as we have here in the US, many young women must attain college degrees alongside their male counterparts if they're to embark upon fulfilling, and naturally well paying careers.
However, not many deserving women of color, of any age, know of programs such as scholarships for African American women, that will advance their cause and empower them to excel in their chosen profession!
With Congress however championing the cause for more young women to empower themselves through Government funded programs or the private sector offering their own brand of scholarship grant, more of these scholarships for African American are becoming well known, beyond the Hope Scholarships, United Negro College Fund Scholarships and Ron Brown Scholarships, to name a few.
Scholarships for African American Women – what you need to know.
Inevitably, Congress's initiative to empower women of color has been clouded by third party independent companies making "too much noise" if you will, by advertising non-accredited courses on scholarships for African American women where, after "graduating", these recipients find themselves in no better position than when they started.
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy, so many deserving African American women who could have benefited from scholarships for African American women programs end up ignoring legitimate sponsorships because experience has shown that there was something missing, or a lot of money was expended in getting a diploma from a non accredited College etc!
One thing is for sure, the internet is here to stay, and it's a wonderful and very fast medium to advertise scholarships for African American women as well as scholarships and grants targeting specific target markets.
The only reason scholarship programs are classified in this manner, i.e- race, has nothing to do with race itself or to discriminate, there are numerous scholarships for African American women opportunities in Corporate America, the only problem with such programs is, you never know what you're getting yourself into, or what your obligations are in relationship to the scholarship you may be applying for!
For instance, there are scholarship programs targeting single mothers, whilst there are some targeting those in the military, or stay at home Dads… this way, future scholarship programs from legitimate sources will be structured to better serve those more in need, in order to create a well balanced and equal workplace.
So, before taking issue with scholarship programs that have "African American" or "Hispanic" in them, please note the only reason scholarship programs seem to be marketed this way, is strictly for statistical purposes only – it's a way to gauge how each scholarship sponsorship is being used by the target market, nothing more.
Scholarships for African American women – the way forward
The best part about legitimate scholarships for African American women is, there have no age barrier, after all, it's never too late to learn and, as we all know, education is fundamental!
The economy is hurting right now, meaning it's become more competitive on the market to find a job.
So, if you're in the market looking for minority scholarships for African American women, a good childhood friend of mine who made it to the US through the Sustainable Development Scholarship, tells me she's in full support of the program whose banner is on the left of this post.
According to her, she has come across more women of color using this particular program than the leading programs targeting African American women, and that's because these guys have a good no strings attached reputation and the barrier to entry is one of the most desirable scholarships for African American women!

Who We Are
Waynesburg University educates students to make connections between faith, learning and serving so that they might faithfully transform their communities and the world. As a Christian comprehensive University, we strive to inspire and challenge every undergraduate and graduate student to a life of leadership and purpose for the glory of God.
What You Need to Know
- We're a private, nonprofit Christian university founded in 1849 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
- We're a member of the Council of Independent Colleges.
- Our motto is Fiat Lux, or "Let There Be Light."
- Our main campus is located in Waynesburg, Pa. We also have three adult centers in Monroeville, Cranberry and Southpointe.
- We have a student/faculty ratio of 12:1.
- Our average class size is 18 students.
- We have a ratio of 49 percent men to 51 percent women.
- Our top areas of study are business, communication, criminal justice, education, forensic science and nursing.
- We're one of only 22 institutions in the country to offer the Bonner Scholar Program, which provides approximately 15 community service scholarships to Waynesburg students each year.
What We're Known For
- We're one of the least expensive private higher education institutions in Pennsylvania and in the nation.
- We are one of the first colleges to have ever offered degrees to women.
- The Waynesburg College vs. Fordham Football game was the first televised football game in the nation.
- Every break, we offer at least two international and two domestic mission service trips to places such as Africa, Ireland, Guatemala and Jamaica – that's approximately 15 each year.
Where We've Been
Waynesburg University has come a long way since our 1849 founding, but we've never strayed from our mission and our purpose. We've expanded our historic campus into a thriving, beautiful community for young scholars to engage with experienced faculty, dedicated staff and of course, each other. We've developed relationships and partnerships with international universities, industry leaders, politicians and more, all of which offer our students the opportunity to excel. We've stayed the course with a consistent emphasis on rigorous academics and servant leadership, all while upholding our faith.
Named for the Revolutionary War hero, General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, Waynesburg University began as a strong vision and a pile of clay at the bottom of nearby Lake Juanita. In April of 1849, the Pennsylvania Presbytery established a committee to found a new college and chose Waynesburg, Pa., as its location.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania chartered Waynesburg College March 25, 1850. Students, who took the first Waynesburg University classes in the old Hayes Building at the corner of High and Washington streets in Waynesburg, envisioned a dignified campus building to facilitate academic pursuits.
They created more than 803,000 bricks by hand using clay deposits from a lake in Fountain Park to build Miller Hall, an administrative building still home to offices and classrooms. Their fingerprints are still visible in the bricks today. Named for A.B. Miller, past president of Waynesburg University, Miller Hall and adjacent Hanna Hall both reside on the National Registry for Historic Places.
Since Miller Hall was built, we've expanded our facilities to include a student center, a number of academic buildings, a performing arts center, a criminal justice house, five underclassmen and five upperclassmen residence halls, a marine biology lab, a state of the art fitness center, administrative facilities, Roberts Chapel and much more.
We continue to employ faculty and staff who embody the values and perspectives of the Christian faith. We invest in our students' growth by providing them with hands-on opportunities beginning freshman year and we develop opportunities for them to learn through service, both domestically and abroad.
Today, Waynesburg University celebrates more than 165 years of fulfilled purpose. Our tradition of preparing students for lives of Christian service continues undiminished.

In 1976, Andrew Britton wrong a long and careful vindication of the film, but his essay was not widely read. Britton noted how many of the reviewers didn't seem to have paid much attention to the film itself, given how many simple errors about the plot and character relationships filled their reviews. More famously (if academic press books by film scholars can qualify as "famous"), Britton's teacher and colleague Robin Wood devoted a chapter of Sexual Politics and Narrative Film to Mandingo, which is where I first heard about the movie.
After watching Mandingo, I wanted to see if anybody had written about it more recently, especially within the film blogosphere, and that's when I discovered some real gems. I can't say I loved the film in the way some people have, but I certainly think the original critics who hated it missed the mark completely. It's a remarkable corrective to and comment on such things as Gone with the Wind, and some moments reminded me strongly of Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn!, particularly in the way both movies complicate the viewer's sympathies for the white protagonist.
But my purpose here is simply to point you toward some excellent online writings about the film:
"The Eyes We Cannot Shut: Richard Fleischer's Mandingo" by Robert Keser:
Without sentimentality or official pieties, Fleischer uses an unbridled and passionate melodrama to lay bare how slavery, the economic enterprise that turns humans into commodities, could not but distort the entire web of human relationships enabling it. To appropriate a phrase by John Berger from another context, Mandingo uniquely serves as "the eye we cannot shut", the persistent vision of competing powers – the slave's physical strength (and by extension sexual potency) against the master's sovereign power to define reality and decide life or death.Dennis Cozalio at Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule, on why the film is among his top 100:
When I saw the movie at the American Cinematheque early last year, it was easy to sense that the audience came primed to giggle at the antiquated, period-authentic dialogue, the impolitic slurs and the debased folk mythology that makes up the worldview of Mandingo's white characters. But it was heartening to hear that nervous giggling die down after about 15 minutes when it became clear that the movie was no corny sex-and-slavery romp, was no easy candidate for Mystery Science Theater-type derision, but instead a serious and agonized attempt to grapple with a period in American history that it seemed was still too hot to handle. Director Richard Fleischer's unadorned, direct style is the perfect approach to this material, and the result is a movie that gets under the skin of blacks and whites, in 1975 and in 2008, and lives there, coalescing into a depiction of our country's subconscious, as likely as any depiction of its subject ever made to claim authenticity, genuine insight into the way things must have been.And, from an essay that belongs with Britton's and Wood's as not only a model of how to approach Mandingo, but as a model of film writing in general, Timothy Sun at Not Coming to a Theater Near You:
Much of the derision aimed at Mandingo comes from a belief that what it depicts is so outrageous that it cannot be true, it must be comedy. Certainly, the performances, particularly those of James Mason and Susan George, are over-the-top – in the case of the latter so much so that it often veers into camp – but I think Fleischer knows exactly what he is doing. Throughout the film there are acts of racism so unfathomable to a modern audience that they appear totally absurd: to cure his rheumatism, Papa Maxwell places a young slave boy at his feet while in bed, pushing against the boy's the stomach in order to flush the pain out of his own body and into his; the same boy is seen time and time again lying flat on the ground while Maxwell uses him as a foot stool; Mede is forced to toughen his skin before a big fight by sitting in that aforementioned cauldron of hot water; etc. To see these images is a surreal experience, but that does not mean they did not occur. Moreover, whether or not the specific offenses that the film depicts actually took place is not really the issue; I have no doubt that if they did not, something equally horrible, if not more so, did. If there is anything the history of humanity has taught us, it is that there is no end to the sadistic imagination. The audience I watched the film with chuckled throughout, whether it be at the sight of the boy absorbing rheumatism or a line like, "Niggers don't feel pain as fast as white folks." I don't believe this laughter comes from any sort of innate racism or lack of compassion toward the slaves, but rather from a lack of any sort of apparatus with which to understand how something like this could have occurred. We are taught in schools and through cultural osmosis that the slaves were whipped and forced to do backbreaking work, but the extent to which they were simply used as sub-human property – to breed, to fight, to fuck – the exceedingly intimate way blacks and whites constantly interacted as abuser and abused, is (hopefully) not something a modern mind can comprehend. So, we laugh. Fleischer understands this and purposely heightens the already extreme offerings that much further, pushing the idea that a society that can do these things is indeed absurd. There are several small, throwaway scenes and images that highlight the underlying surrealism of what we are seeing, most memorably for me a quick tracking shot of a group of chained slaves marching in line with two slaves in front playing Yankee Doodle on a fiddle and waving a giant American flag to keep time. In this context, the performances of Mason and George, who play the two most virulently racist characters in the film, are exactly as they should be, highlighting the bewildering absurdity that slavery and racism require to thrive.
An interesting comparison can be made to a film like Schindler's List, where the crimes it forces us to watch are just as terrible and absurd but because the events are relatively recent and well documented, the audience believes and shudders in horror. Schindler's List also has the advantage of being shown from the point of view of an outsider; every time Ralph Fiennes commits some random act of violence, we get a reaction shot of Liam Neeson quietly outraged, effectively dictating and channeling the audience's own reaction. To further the distancing effect, the film is shot as if it were a historical document, leaving the audience no melodramatic rack to hang its emotions on (and denying the overwhelming visceral impact of a color Holocaust); instead, the emotion comes flooding through unfiltered at the sight of the direct image. In this way Schindler's List continues in the line of historical filmmaking that serves a national and cultural interest, creating a master narrative where good trumps evil and audiences can be entertained without feeling sullied; this is not to say that its history is whitewashed in the same vein as Gone With the Wind, but it is made palatable. The film is beautifully and elegantly shot, the tone is solemn and programmatic, the hero is someone who does what we would like to believe we would have done. Mandingo, as should be clear by now, eschews this approach. There are no heroes, there are no real villains, the physical and verbal abuse meted out to the slaves is so nonchalant and amoral that, again, the audience almost has no option other than to laugh.

On the Street…. Smiles At Marni, Milano
CommentsClose comment
57 comments
such a great pairing – sensible-looking woman with silly (in a good way!) shoes. oh, and bag.
she's doing it all on her terms. an individualist.
She's looking great with one exception – those shoes must go.
Love the classy look, the chunk of color around the neckline. The hairstyle is not a favorite, but works great for her. It's just the shoes…not what I like to see with this.
I disagree with the above sartorialophiles: i think she looks fab and wouldn't want her to change anything. I like the not-so-common combination of low-key colours.
Those shoes are some kinda awesome. They grab my attention.
I would think, though, with the heel extending beyond the sole of the shoe, that the pleasant sensation of rocking back on the heel of your shoes would be completely impossible.
That aside, this shoe completely epitomizes the "wedge" look, which already has the effect of diminishing the length of the foot where it meets the ground. This takes that impact one step further.
Very classy, but those shoes let it down.
i saw this woman, at the marni outlet store on via tajani in milan this past september.
she had such an awesome look about her and was buying up most of the store… it's such a small world, to now see her here on sartorialist! so cool.
great photo!
Beautiful. Subtle colours, which mix beautifully. Love her hair too.
Lovely lady and silk coat – what a pity that her shoes are so outrageously ugly.
Doesn't her coat look like a Klimt painting? The chunky heeled shoes with the tights are a superb and add a bit of grounding to this forward-thinking look. The addition of the fringy bag makes this look even more edgy. Her hair is perfect and that smile, genius.
I love how she incorporated different textures. That jacket is amaaazing. And are the beads on her necklace wrapped in fabric? I can't tell.
Fashion don't understand of aging.
What a fabulous coat! Doesn't she look GREAT?
The shoes strike me as something a younger woman might wear – but this lady does a good job with them too
those shoes!
unlike most of the other posters, they are the highlight of the look to me. at first, i couldn't wrap my mind (eyes) around them–too many straps, i said. where's her other ankle? &c…
but them i enlarged the picture and stared at them for a few minutes and now i think i'm in love with them. they're so bold and military and masculine–yet incredibly geisha-like and feminine. and paired with the matte black of the socks/stockings, they come off as even more dramatic.
emphatically, i like.
She looks great!
Her coat is so beautiful!
I have to disagree with the shoe comments–I actually think they nicely correspond to the quirk of the coat. Plus, I love those who dare to mix brown and black. That's a rule I'll never give in to. If there's one piece of the outfit I don't love, it's the bag. But she pulls it off. And oh, what beautiful hair….
What a wonderful mix of colors and textures. The coat resembles stained glass and the bag is fantastically spiky. And those earthy/clunky sandals: perfect combination!
That coat was meant for her to wear…she just enhanced it with a round of great accessories.
Also, she is dead on with dressing her age, but what makes her unique is her ability to keep it pleasant for eyes of all ages!
I love the shoes. And imagine if she was wearing shoes that "matched" her bag more closely? She would look so much less interesting. Her style is something I aim for on an everyday basis– interesting, but relaxed.
The jacket is gorgeous. I personally would never choose the purse or the shoes, but she pulls them off. I toyed with the idea that the jacket, bag and sandals compete for attention…but after imaging the outfit with changes–I think I prefer it the way it is.
I wonder what fabric her coat is made of. Some kind of rough silk?
The clogs actually go quite well with her hair and bag.
Those shoes bring back good memories!
did anybody notice her beads?
again with thet lighting! you MUST be moving these ladies. they cannot possibly all be standing in such perfect places upon finding them!
admit it! ;)
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Agree with prettykittypublishing re Klimt effect. This is the kind of look I'd like to have when I'm her age. Don't have the guts to wear those shoes now, frankly ;)
Love it.
Perfect look!!
Hair, necklace, coat (!!!), purse, dress inside, shoes…
Everything is just great!
I want that coat! NOW…
And her hair suits her so much. The only cut that suits greying hair (in my opinion)is a short, modern cut as this woman has. It looks fabulous !!
i probably wouldn't like the shoes on their own but it gives a whimsical touch to the whole ensemble – which i love!
great coat, though I don't think anyone younger could pull it off. Love the hair and the young bag(who can argue with a furry bag that manages to look great?) she looks so confident and happy … so would I if I was wearing that!
Without the hair this outfit is nothing!It's so natural and real that she could wear anything and pull it off.
I love this look. It is so real and very joyful.
Most beautiful coat ever!!
Though, still don't like the brown shoes and black tights trend.
I am mesmerized by the deep navy in the coat, and those squares met with the circles of her necklace. Adding that bag is great fun.
This is how i imagine myself when i get older! perfect smile and Exclusive style!
Lovely coat, lovely shoes, lovely hair.
I'd lose the bag though!
beautiful coat- i love the way it plays off the silver in her hair and the purple in the dress. the circles of the necklace go great with the squares in the coat.
I love love love that jacket! I love the shininess of the fabric & the color combinations. I've seen many oversized bags pictured lately, they really impact the photos, this one works nicely. I love how fresh and happy and jazzed about life she looks. I love her gray hair – I Love her spirit.
Thats one of the things I really enjoy here, you post wonderful pictures of fashionable men and women of every age, looking fabulous.
How can she be able to wear that WONDERFULL COAT and those HORRIBLE SHOES at the same time? Is this Fashion?
I love the shoes. What brand are they? Does anyone know?
I love the combination of the shoes and the coat – so unexpected and interesting. Also, gotta love the hair!
She is a dead ringer for Suze Orman except for the dark hair of course.
Great hair, elegant coat, inexplicably inappropriate shoes. In fact, there have been so many just plain ODD shoes on women in here on the Sartorialist the past month or so …
So I ask: are otherwise stylish women buying into some trend toward shoes that seem to have fallen off a thrift shop pickup van? That is, though a student/artist/funky young mom etc may opt for (or be forced to settle for) cork-soled wedges or wooden platforms in late winter, what's going on when a woman like this heads there? Because running shoes or Crocs would hardly look worse to me.
At first, I loved the outfit and HATED the shoes! After looking at the shoes, I like them but I still don't like them with this outfit. They're totally funky and would be paired better with a classic pair of jeans. More casual. But then, I'm not a daring soul. Otherwise- love the bag and coat. Um, beads- maybe could do without. Would love to see what's under the coat.
I think the coat is a Dries Van Noten.
The shoes are Marni. I bought them last year and they are unbelievably comfortable. The heel is balanced in a clever way.
I wish I had the courage to wear them like this!
love the playfullness of the jacket and shoes. . . that aside. . doesn't she look EXACTLY like Suze Orman. . the financial advisor. Just saying.
Love the sexy sassy short hair. I wish more women – especially urban-oriented – would embrace the minimalist haircut. Regardless of her age, she pulls it off with style and attitude.
Thanks for the tip on the shoes, anonymous!! I'm going to find them and wear them with dark tights. I absolutely love that look.
Beautiful. Great style without looking like those older women who dress too young for their age, but yet still classy.
the shoes gotta go, but the bag is awesome!
Love her playful style, it's such a nice picture with her smiling :)
That is a seriously interesting coat. I would love to see close ups of it.
Great face (I agree about the likeness to Suzie Orman, but this woman looks nicer and more natural), great hair, great playful coat. I don't like the bag, but she pulls this look off… from her ankles up.
The shoes are another story. It took me a while to get used to that dark pantyhose/heavy sandals/light airy dresses look that Chloe was promoting several seasons ago, but I finally was converted :-). But I don't think I'll could ever be convinced that these shoes have a place in this ensemble.
I love the shoes! Very original (the curve!) and feminine in an interesting way. They just not working with this outfit. The coat is gorgeous!! I just hate the bag..too kitch.
I think this all works so well because the blue/black/grey shiny hair picks up the navy blue/grey lustrous tones of the silk coat, and the inky sheen and texture of the bag both ties it in and contrasts with them at the same time. I think the clunky sandal grounds the whole look especially with the thick hosiery – it would be awful with bare or natural legs! Always been a fan of both Marni and thick tights with sandals {although its been a lot of years since I could pull it off like she does} She's a bit of an inspiration in how to stay stylish and fashionable as you age.
the shoes make this … gorgeous!
Love the hair, coat and smile
She looks like she'd be a lot of fun to be around
Nice picture
…my sister! …simply an amazing and incredible lovely woman… LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! :-*

SANTA CRUZ -- A warm turkey-and-the-trimmings dinner, fresh pie, live entertainment, friendship and no check -- it's no wonder more than 1,000 seniors attended the 39th annual Grey Bears Holiday Dinner Sunday at the Civic Auditorium.
Organizers were planning for close to 1,500 for the popular holiday tradition, after getting 1,400 last year, but stormy weather around the 11:30 a.m. start led to less attendance than usual, said Tim Brattan, executive director of the California Grey Bears.
"But we had some buses full of people from South County, and many others who made it," Brattan said. "We're delighted. We've got a long legacy, and a lot of good partners. It's been an amazing 40 years."
The meal was free for any person age 55 or older, and scores of volunteers helped, he said.
The dinner, plus a holiday meal and goodies delivery to about 1,400 homebound seniors on Dec. 13 and 14, will cost the nonprofit agency about $30,000, Brattan said.
Jane Anglin of Santa Cruz, who came to the dinner with her son, Elmo, a Grey Bears volunteer, said she is "most grateful" for the annual affair.
"It's just lovely, honey," she said. "It couldn't get any better."
Carol Pereyra was helping out at the dinner, seating people and serving meals.
Pereyra also donated 350 scarves that she knitted, to the first folks who showed up. Santa and Mrs. Claus held the scarves on their arms as the welcomed people, she said.
"No one could believe they were free; I got the biggest kick out of it," she said. "But some things really are free. I have to do more next year."
Ruth Seidel was one of those enjoying the dinner, while a young boy on stage played "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" on a violin.
Seidel dressed for the occasion, in a red sweater with Christmas-gift Teddy Bears printed on it and a red bow around her neck. Her neighbors wore fancy felt hats, shiny, jeweled sweaters and other bright holiday finery.
Seidel termed the meal "fabulous." A man sitting across the long table from her, Dan Knoll of Westside Santa Cruz, agreed, saying "it's always been good."
"I've been a Grey Bear for years," Seidel said, adding that she picks up a bag of produce every week from a Grey Bears pickup spot in the Shadowbrook parking lot.
Some of the produce is gleaned from area fields, she said.
Seidel said she also attends the group's summer picnic, which was on her 80th birthday this year, Sept. 25.
Sunday's performers included the Great Morgani, Santa Cruz Dance Co., Elaine's Dance Studio, the Tehauni Dancers, the International Academy of Dance and young violinist Benjamin Rivers. Santa Cruz IATSE Local 611 donated stage crew services.
The meal was cooked by Santa Cruz Diner, the pies were from Gizdich Ranch and the coffee was from Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting, organizers said.
Aside from the weekly brown bag produce program, California Grey Bears operates thrift and computer electronics stores at 2710 Chanticleer Ave., plus recycling centers, including e-waste recycling, at the Chanticleer Avenue headquarters and at the Buena Vista Landfill near Watsonville.
Membership is $20 per year and includes a brown bag of produce and groceries 48 weeks per year, along with other benefits, for its members, who are 55 years and older.
Grey Bears was started in 1973 by two UC Santa Cruz students and two seniors who had excess produce in their gardens to share.
Reach them at 479-1055 or by email at email@example.com.

It's time for some congratulations.
First, I just learned from Cheryl Morgan that the speculative poetry symposium I put together with Mike Allen, Alan DeNiro, and Theodora Goss made the shortlist for the British Science Fiction Association Awards in the nonfiction category. I just did the organizing of the article; Mike, Alan, and Dora did all the heavy thinking, and they deserve the accolades. Congratulations also to the rest of the nominees, and especially to Gary K. Wolfe, whose Soundings was the winner.
Speaking of Alan DeNiro, his forthcoming collection of stories, Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead, has made the longlist for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. I got one of the first galleys of the book, and it's truly an extraordinary collection. Having been familiar with Alan's work for a while, I thought I knew what to expect, but reading it all together, the breadth and inventiveness of the stories astounded me far more than I was prepared for. I can't think of another collection that has, on the whole, impressed me quite this much since I read Kelly Link's Stranger Things Happen four or five years ago. (And yes, I could be accused of bias, since Alan and I are acquainted, and he was one of the three Ratbastards who published my [generally unloved] story "Fragments", but even if I am inclined to think somewhat kindly of him, that does not account for how much his book impressed me.)
Speaking of Ratbastards and books that impress me, the news can now be spread far and wide that Chris Barzak has sold his first novel, One for Sorrow, to Juliet Ulman at Bantam. If I can be accused of bias toward any writer, it's probably Chris (and toward any editor, Juliet), and I am particularly biased toward this book, so you may not want to believe me when I tell you that it contains a few scenes so achingly beautiful they will make you cry, but, well, it contains a few scenes so achingly beautiful they will make you cry. Unless you have no heart or are an asshole. So there.
As I write this, Chris is on a plane heading home after spending nearly two years living and working in Japan (and if you haven't been reading his blog about the ups and downs and ins and outs of life there, you've been missing a great read). Welcome back Chris, for however long it may be.

ASHBURN, Va. — Robert Griffin III will get more tests on his injured right knee after an MRI exam proved inconclusive because of a previous ACL tear.
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that the rookie quarterback will travel Tuesday to see orthopedist James Andrews for more examinations.
Griffin tore his ACL while playing at Baylor in 2009, and Shanahan said sometimes an old injury can cloud the results of an MRI.
If Griffin has torn the ACL again, he would likely require a rehabilitation period of nine to 12 months, putting his status for next season in jeopardy.
Griffin reinjured his knee twice in Sunday's playoff loss to Seattle.

UH Manoa health program celebrates summer experience
Building the next generation of health-care professionalsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Throughout the 10-day program, high school students from the Leeward Coast, urban Honolulu and Kauaʻi participated in problem-based learning classes, similar to those taught at the UH Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine. Between classes, they will also visited area health clinics, went hiking, and participated in a service learning project on Mokauea Island.
"Through HCOP, I learned about emergency medical technicians and how they depend on each to get the job done," said a program participant from Nanakuli High School. "I admire how hard they work, and now I'm considering a career in the EMT field."
Program participants were also exposed to a variety of health professionals from various careers in medicine, nursing, bio-medical research, public health, and social work.
"These students are the next generation of health-care professionals. The demand for health-care professionals in our state is growing, and we need to prepare them for the workforce," said Agnes Malate, director of HCOP. "This summer enrichment program provides an opportunity for students to meet and speak directly with professionals in the field."
HCOP was first established in 2000 as a grant from the Health Resources andServices Administration, Bureau of Health Professions, Division of HealthCareers Diversity. It became a UH Mānoa program under the Student Equity, Excellence & Diversity (SEED) office in 2008, with funding from the Hawaiʻi State Legislature.
SEED oversees programs that recruit and provide support and retention services for underrepresented students in higher education. Its programs touch the lives of students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, as well as undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs.

Standard iDrive - Hard Drive and other questions

Standard iDrive - Hard Drive and other questions
I've been browsing through the forums for some time now and I've seen a lot of discussion regarding the navigation iDrive system, but very little regarding the specifics of the standard system.
I have the standard in my base 328i.
I'm wondering if anyone might be able to provide some insight into the following:
1. Does the standard still have a hard drive? If so, where is it located? If not, is it just flash-memory based?
2. Even though I have the standard system, and even though I don't have BMW Assist, I still have an option for it on my screen, which leads me to believe that it's something the standard system is able to support with some additional module. I'm not really interested in BMW Assist, but I'd love some of the functionality of the BMW Enhanced Bluetooth features that seem to come bundled with it. Is there a module I'm missing or that I could replace that would give me some of that functionality?
3. I've tried to play a DVD, and it does not work. I didn't think that it would. It seems as though the in-dash drive is not a DVD drive, because a DVD inserted into that drive shows up as unrecognized on the screen. So I'm wondering if my iDrive system actually IS capable of playing DVDs, but the drive simply can't read them. If I installed the CD/DVD changer in the boot/trunk, perhaps then I'd have DVD playback?
4. I'm disappointed by only one thing - I have the Voice Activation button on my steering wheel, however pressing it does absolutely nothing. I was sure I would at least be able to make calls without having to access my contacts via the iDrive screen, but it seems as though that isn't the case. It's disappointing because even my 2008 MINI Cooper could do that!

Over the years, electrical failures have been the number one problem with trailers. Lighting problems have been reduced by the wider adoption of LED lighting. However, even LEDs, along with the rest of the electrical system, are subject to corrosion, which remains a major headache. Aggressive de-icing chemicals that are splashed up onto trailers' undersides and onto wiring and lamps, speed up the corrosion that interrupts current flow.
The best way to avoid the worst of these problems is by taking a "whole-system" approach when spec'ing new trailers, says the Technology & Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Associations.
Proper maintenance of the system, including replacement of LEDs when some of the diodes fail, is still your best bet for staying safe and avoiding points against your CSA score.
1. A whole-system approach is best
Recently revised recommendations from TMC say the electrical system should include sealed wiring, water- and corrosion-resistant connectors and low-amperage lamp designs. They are the things to get for long life with few troubles and low downtime, says Recommended Practice 704C.
That's not new advice, but it's newly included in the RP, whose "C" suffix means it's the third update.
"RP-704B, the Recommended Practice for Heavy-Duty Lighting Systems for Trailers, was last updated in January 1992 and was badly in need of an update," explains the leader of the project, Brad Van Riper, chief technologyofficer at Truck-Lite Inc.
The rewrite:
• Made the RP light-source neutral, and eliminated bulb types and ratings to allow for technology improvements;
• Removed and replaced obsolete references;
• Updated lighting locations; and
• Added wiring harness information, "focusing on the system," he says.
"The purpose of the RP is to help equipment purchasers specify a safe and effective heavy-duty lighting system that is low-maintenance, durable and corrosion-free for a minimum service life of 12 years," Van Riper explains.
Twelve years is a duty cycle agreed on by task force members as typical for widely used trailer types, especially dry freight vans.
"Since lighting is moving away from incandescent light sources and more toward LED technology, the committee decided to de-emphasize the bulb and look at the complete system. We believe that the light source is no longer the weak link in the system, and teaching fleets to focus on a quality system will improve the durability and reduce maintenance on their new trailers."
RP-704C provides guidelines for how a trailer's electrical system should be spec'd, and refers often to standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers, Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association and others. And it leaves room for various trailer types and applications.
"As you'd probably guess, there are as many wire harness systems as there are applications," Van Riper explains. "A 'quality system' is one that meets the needs of the end-use customer." Included in the system are wiring jacketing, wiring gauge, terminals, connectors, processors, lamps and installation. The RP also included some installation best practices, which can provide guidance to help improve the performance of the system.
2. LED diodes can still fail
Lamps using light-emitting-diodes have become common on trailers and power units since being introduced by Grote Industries more than two decades ago. LEDs use about one-tenth the current of incandescent bulbs and last 10 times as long.
Most LED lamps have multiple light-emitting diodes, so if one or a group of diodes fails, the lamp still works. But is there a percentage of burned-out diodes that defines lamp failure and leads to a citation?
Not in the United States, according to Will Schaefer, director of vehicle programs at the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. CVSA members are state, provincial and local enforcement officials in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Together they set standards regarding equipment – but there is none for LEDs.
"We have analyzed it extensively in our Vehicle Committee," he says. "When one diode goes out, the rest may get brighter. In the end, we do not have a good way of knowing that if two out of three, or three out of seven, or four out of 15 are not lighting, would that cause a total reduction of enough light to constitute a failure? Ultimately, if it's still visible, it's still lighting. And ultimately it comes down to the officer's discretion."
Vehicle Committee members deliberated the question at a meeting in 2004 but couldn't come up with an answer.
The inspection questions related to LED lamp failure involve:
• When should a failing LED lamp be replaced?
• How many individual LEDs should remain 'on' for the lamp to be acceptable?
• Is there a failure 'rule' for each type and brand of LED lamp?
The committee asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for guidance, but they couldn't provide any. Neither could manufacturers, though one told the CVSA committee that it issued special cards that customers could use to measure light output. Lacking enlightenment from those sources, committee members closed the matter.
In Canada, National Safety Code Standard 11 Part B states, in part, that a lamp should be "rejected" if "25% or more of LEDs of any one lamp assembly are non-functional." However, Alberta officials, in alerting CVSA to this standard, note that "a NHTSA study indicated 80% of the population cannot tell when lights have lost 25% of their intensity."
Like all lamps, an LED type must meet light-output standards expressed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, which says a lamp's output must be visible from 500 feet. If some light is visible at that distance, it might or might not be judged OK by an inspector.

Commercial speech has been defined by the Supreme Court as speech where the speaker is more likely to be engaged in commerce, where the intended audience is commercial or actual or potential consumers, and where the content of the message is commercial in character.
Commercial speech, such as advertisments, has been ruled by the Supreme Court to be entitled to less protection under the First Amendment than noncommerical speech. Under the First Amendment, noncommercial speech is entitled to full protection, and any sort of content-based regulation is only valid if it can withstand strict scrutiny. However, commerical speech is not given such deference. For a content-based regulation of commercial speech to be valid, it only must withstand intermediate scrutiny.
Additionally, commercial speech that is false or misleading is not entitled to any protection under the First Amendment, and therefore can be prohibited entirely.

OAKLAND — One woman is dead and two others are seriously injured in an overturned vehicle crash on southbound Highway 13, the California Highway Patrol reported.
CHP and emergency crews were called to the scene, between Lincoln Avenue overpass and Redwood Road, around 3:45 p.m.
One woman, between 70 and 80 years old, was ejected from the vehicle, a white Toyota Sequoia SUV, and declared dead when firefighters arrived. The male driver was transported to Highland Hospital in Oakland in critical condition. Two other passengers were injured, including one who suffered major injuries and a woman who received minor cuts on her forehead. A fifth person in the vehicle was uninjured.
It is unclear if anyone else was ejected from the SUV.
Witnesses told CHP officers that the SUV drifted out of its lane and struck the center divide. The driver then overcorrected, causing the vehicle to flip over and then land upright again on its wheels, but facing traffic.
Traffic is backed up to at least Highway 24, and heavy delays are expected, the CHP said.
Check back for updates.

I see your point, but it still leaves me room to contend mine: what you claim to be YouTube's rise on known infringement is thrown into question by Viacom's practices. Whether Viacom itself started later or not, their practice shows that even from the beginning rights holders could have been uploading their content. In other words, you are damning YouTube from the beginning but you can't actually prove that their original content was infringing. Whether the founders believe it is or not is irrelevant.
What the founders believe is entirely relevant due to the "unaware of infringement" requirement for safe harbor under the DMCA. The fact that the business fueled by rampant infringement has a whole host of complicated authorization questions is unsurprising.
Note that Vimeo -- ostensibly the same service has Youtube -- encounters none of this issues. That's because the Vimeo business model is actually about helping individuals publish content they themselves have created.
It's interesting that you would bring this up as an example, because I was about to use Vimeo to show the freedom Youtube provides for legitimate content that sites with other business models don't.
Obviously, there's no connection between Ars and Youtube in terms of pirated content. Even ignoring the fact Ars is primarily a content producer and Youtube is a service which allows others to release their own content, Ars has enough mods to keep things under control. Youtube obviously does and cannot (any more than an ISP can).
Vimeo is a site with a specific purpose: the release of so-called "creative expression" which forms a limited subset of legitimate creative expression possible.
tldr; there's lots of legal cool stuff you can put on Vimeo you can't on youtube.
Youtube is great because just about anybody can throw up anything. That, and not just the founder's incompetent and/or tolerance of infringement, is why it's huge.

Ooooh, now THAT would be cool. Hmm....who among us has a camera?
I would like to shoot a video of the 1st annual Albuquerque GTG,(as I will be a cinematography(sp?) minor next semester, hopefully) the trip down the days at the track and all the random shanagans(sp) in between. I would make it available to club members for a small price (basically my cost for the DVD's that it would be burned on 4 or 5 bucks). Unfortunately my video camera is out of commission for the moment, its being repaired by Sony for a defect that developed with the lcd screen. So I guess I will just wait and see if they ship it back to me before the trip, witch is doubtful. So if anyone has a camera that they would like to donate to the cause for a short wile that would be awesome, shoot me a PM.Greg
Quote from: "Denver Pat"Ooooh, now THAT would be cool. Hmm....who among us has a camera?My little one does movies.. but it's not robust enough for what Greg's talking about.. Besides, I'm going to save it for the 'home movies' we're going to make at Rusty's. 8O
Outstanding! Can anybody else tell I'm looking forward to this? :onfire:

College of Arts & Humanities
In September, 55 social studies teachers from the Lakelands area received a sneak preview of what they can look forward to as participants in the new Teaching American History in the Lakelands program, which is being funded by a $991,000 grant from the Federal Government. Open to 3rd-, 4th-, 5th-, 8th- and 11th-grade social studies teachers in Greenwood, Laurens, Abbeville and McCormick County school districts, the program's goal is to provide teachers with extensive knowledge of various periods in American History, while also providing guidance in teaching methods and lesson planning.
The interest meeting, held at Lander University's "Lander on the Square" in Uptown Greenwood, featured three speakers: Clemson associate professor of history Paul Anderson; experienced Upstate master teacher Tami Finley; and history preservationist David Reuwer. Anderson discussed the program's history content, while Finley previewed what teachers will learn in the program. Reuwer gave a presentation focusing on the Revolutionary War. His portion of the interest meeting included a hands-on learning segment in which attendees participated in a battlefield re-enactment.
"David was very inspirational in talking about the American Revolution, the significance of our nation and the Founding Fathers," said Kevin Witherspoon, Lander associate professor of history and executive historian for the Lakelands program. "He had the teachers get up and do a mock Revolutionary War battle. We actually had a mini re-enactment right there in the room and everybody really got into it."
Witherspoon said that Anderson and Finley were equally as engaging and that the whole event provided an excellent preview of the new program. Funded for the next three years, the program will include multiple activities for enrolled teachers, including study tours of historic cities such as Charleston and Atlanta, other historic locations in the area, book discussions, special guest lectures and a mandatory two-week summer institute.
"The essence of the grant and the purpose of the program is to improve the teacher in the classroom," said Witherspoon. "The content side of Teaching American History is a big part, but so is the methodology, or teaching side of the program. We are going to have expert teachers offering tips and providing lesson plans." Witherspoon added that teachers will be given valuable resources to help them with instruction. "We will provide participants with books and primary sources, along with showing them historic places in the region that they may not have realized were there," he said.
The Teaching American History program is not the only one of its kind in South Carolina. In fact, Witherspoon was inspired to help write a grant for the Lakelands area because of his experience working with a program in Florence. "Through my previous experience with Teaching American History, I started thinking that we needed to bring this incredible resource to this area of the state," he said. "It has been a great experience working with the teachers and seeing the impact it has on them."
Witherspoon wrote the grant with the help of retired Greenwood District 50 teacher and Lander adjunct history instructor Domer Ridings, who also serves as the Teaching American History in the Lakelands program director. The pair will be joined in the program by other Lander faculty, as well as faculty from Erskine College, Presbyterian College and Clemson University, who will serve as master scholars for the Lakelands activities.
For information regarding Teaching American History in the Lakelands, or to sign up for the program, contact Domer Ridings at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Dr. Kevin Witherspoon at email@example.com or 864-388-8685.

Interview: Mark Mothersbaugh from "The Lego Movie"
Musician Mark Mothersbaugh is known by many as the Energy Dome headgear wearing lead singer of the classic rock band DEVO. And over the past 30 years he has built a career as a composer of films that rivals anyone in history. Among the dozens of films he has done, he has composed Wes Anderson films like Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and he has done animation classics like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. His most recent film, The Lego Movie, is one of the top three movies in America. Mark was kind enough to sit and talk with us here at Movie Room Reviews and tell us about his work on The Lego Movie and what it takes to be a composer in Hollywood.
Nick Leyland from Movie Room Reviews: This is truly fantastic. I have so many questions for you, I could talk to you all day, but I know I can't. So, I'll get started with your latest project, The Lego Movie. You're one of the people responsible for bringing everything as awesome into homes around the world.
Mark Mothersbaugh: Sorry about that. It was important to the movie. It was important to the story.
MRR: Well you were the composer for the film, can you tell us all about your part in making this wonderful film?
Mark Mothersbaugh: It's the fourth movie I've done with this director team. We had a pretty good working relationship, and we're pretty relaxed. I was looking for a sound to create the universe of Lego Land, so I went through my synthesizer collection, my electronic music collection of instruments going all the way back to Devo stuff and using circuit bent things from the 90s all the way to more like rave stuff. I put together like a palette of sounds and then went from there.
MRR: You kind of went through looking for a 'square' sound that would be present in Lego land?
Mark Mothersbaugh: Yeah. I was looking for kind of interesting sounds. When I saw early tests of the animation that came back and you'd see like an ocean wave crashing and it was all Lego bricks. There was like a couple million Lego bricks crashing and sea foam. It looked so amazing and it was definitely a Lego world, I wanted to make the music as special as the Lego World visually was.
MRR: You mentioned you were working with this directing team and Phil Lord, you've worked with him several times with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 1 and 2, and 21 and 22 Jump Street. How does the relationship work between the director and composer?
Mark Mothersbaugh: You come in at different points in the film. If it's your first film together, you may not come in until after he has a rough cut. An example is, Wes Anderson, our first film I came in after he was already screening it, and he needed a score. But by the time we got to Life Aquatic, I was writing music for him to listen to in his earphones, while he was shooting. He sat on the sofa behind my keyboard here, and he had his laptop, he'd said, "You know I'm gonna add a composer to the film. What kind of music equipment would they be using?" And he explained that they were not, they were like the unsuccessful version of Jacque Cousteau. That they hadn't changed equipment since the '70s, and I said, "well, probably sounds like they would've been using equipment like Devo used back when we started." So, we went downstairs in my studio here, and we pulled out a couple of old synthesizers and it was an old Oberheim that I got the sound for Ping Island off of.
You get in at different points and with these guys, we talked about it. I knew the movie was coming for a while before we got to it. I always had it in the back of my mind that I would be putting together sounds for Lego. And so, when they finally gave me the first test, I was already looking for things that would sound like you were in the Lego World.
MRR: When I was thinking about, 'cause you have a dream job of mine, and one of the things I think as a composer's job is almost to fill the gaps, the space with music where people can't even tell its there, because it's so brilliantly placed. Is that how you feel about a lot of the music that you put into movies?
Mark Mothersbaugh: Sometimes, and then sometimes you get to take over, but a lot of times it really is, especially in the case with Lego, you're helping the little plastic face emit emotion. You're helping people see that Emmet's heart is broken or that he's fearing for his life, or that Wildstyle is angry and is gonna kick his butt in a second. That's kind of the fun part about animation.
In some movies, you really stay way in the back and in a movie like this it's like some of the music suffices as sound effects too, so you get chances to stand out now and then too, so that's one of the things that attracts me to animation.
MRR: And I was just gonna ask you that because one profession I was considering was being a Foley artist, and as a composer in a way you're adding these sound effects to certain things that are happening on screen. Do you have to adjust your musical timing around or is that something that the editors do?
Mark Mothersbaugh: Yeah. And because Foley and sound effects are happening at the very end of the movie it's the same time the scoring is, you have to kind of talk to those people and find out what they're doing and hear what they're doing and they wanna hear what I'm doing and I write my music so that I could anticipate what I need to do. They have a great sound effect for a motorcycle that's gonna obliterate everything else or what if he doesn't have the great sound and the music's better? You try and anticipate as much as you can then give the directors options when they do their final mix 'cause maybe the early sound effects of the motorcycles that I had on my chase scene sound nothing at all like the ones that ended up in the final version of the film and you don't know till after they do the final mix what they're gonna want, so it is a little bit tricky sometimes.
MRR: [laughter] When you begin to write, it sounds like you start with the instruments that you'll be using. Is that true or do you start more with a rhythm or a melody?
Mark Mothersbaugh: I know I said it like that but it was a combination of both for this movie 'cause I was looking for a real specific sound for the World of Lego, for this world that we were gonna be in. I was looking for something so that in an ideal world you'd be in another room and you could hear the Lego movie playing and you go, "Oh that's Lego." But really, I like to start with themes almost always in movies so I was writing themes for the different characters and the different situations in the movie early on. Funny thing is, is we even get to recycle stuff now. The love theme between Emmett and Wildstyle I had originally written it for 21 Jump Street and we used a different piece of music for 21 Jump Street but they remembered this and they had it on their laptops so when they were first cutting together the early sequences they put in this other love theme from 21 Jump Street that never got in that movie and it worked perfect so we incorporated it into Lego.
MRR: Now my little nephew, he watches you paint on Yo Gabba Gabba [laughter]. What is so wonderful about working on programs for kids and what are the challenges musically?
Mark Mothersbaugh: I'm Mark the Artist, yeah, the art teacher. But the thing with music or art, anything, kids are much more open to different kinds of mash-ups and to different kinds of musical ideas. In fact, when kids start going into puberty then they start trying to figure who they are and what they are and they're trying to get harder edged and then they're on their way to becoming little tiny adults and they start closing their mind up. People later on, they remember music from that time period, it's like the best music that ever happened. And for me it might've been Beatles and Rolling Stones, and for my daughters it's probably like, I hate to say it, stuff like One Direction and Bruno Mars [laughter] but it's because that's their coming of age music. For everybody that's the stuff that's really important. But kids, you can mash-up a Watusi dance with Italian sci-fi from the '60s and they go with it.
They love the idea, you know? For them that's like, "Oh, that sounds great, what is that?"
MRR: [laughter] I was wondering if you could help me inspire hope in the thousands of musicians and composers out there that wanna be you, that want your job. But for those out there, guys like me with home studios, good instruments with MIDI and sound libraries, how can we compete?
Mark Mothersbaugh: Can I tell you something, there's never been a better time, at least in my lifetime, there's never been a better time to be into the arts. The things that kids have at their fingertips is just incredible. There's phone apps that are more powerful than the Beatles had to record their first album on. And you can sit there and put a song together and if you really like it you don't have to go try and talk a record company into letting you sign a deal and then them putting it out, you just go right to the Internet, you put it on YouTube or you put it on your own website. You eliminate all this stuff that was in the way when I was a kid from being an artist and you just get to be an artist.
I think I would love to be 18 right now 'cause it's such a great time. And the tools are just incredible. My 9 and 12-year-old, they're making videos at home and they don't even know, they don't even know how much work it was making the first Devo video. It took us like about a year from the time Jerry and I started a design company so we could earn the money. We had to save $3000 up so we could pay for it. And then we had to get the equipment and we had to talk to people in editing rooms in Minneapolis to let us come in and edit on off hours, and it took about a year at the end. And my daughters, for them it's like they don't even know about any of that. They just know that there's an app on their iPad and they get together with their friends and they're making music videos. It's crazy.
MRR: So, you think it's possible for someone to be able to get scores that you get and do the things that you do without having a million dollar studio?
Mark Mothersbaugh: Well, of course everything is possible and more so now than ever. I think it's also changing constantly. I mean already it's kind of a liability to own a studio. It's a liability to own a facility because so many people can write music anywhere. You can sit in traffic and pull out your iPad and start writing some music while you're waiting for the light to change. It's so transparent now. It doesn't really require a studio and all that stuff. I mean I have this place 'cause it's my private studio and I moved here a long time ago. And so I'm comfortable here. But, I think being a film composer in five years will not resemble what I do now. I think it'll be much different. And as far as somebody, if they really think that's what they really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, wanna do, I have one suggestion I would make. I could probably have two, but the one that I think is really the best one is I would, instead of thinking, "Oh, I'm gonna go to Hollywood and make a film.", I would go to the local college, local schools, where there's people making movies, directing a movie. And maybe those movies aren't gonna be that great. Maybe they're gonna be very, very low budget, a shoestring at best, and maybe you won't even get paid. But, let it be known that you're available for free, or you're available cheap and you just wanna score a film for them.
And then when somebody gives you a film, just make sure that you write something that is so good that no matter how bad the film is or how many things are wrong with the film, how flawed it is because it's people learning how to make a film, maybe if it never even goes out into a general release, maybe it's just good enough to get into a festival or something, make your music so good that people go, "Yeah, the film was alright, but did you hear the music? The music was incredible.". Just do something like that. Do something really great and put all your energy and everything you have into it, and make it something great. And that is to me a much better way to go than to like drive out to California and then advertise yourself as an unknown entity because there's too many people out here already.
MRR: Well, thank you so much, Mark. I really appreciate it and it was such a pleasure talking with you, man. I can't even tell you.
Mark Mothersbaugh: Thank you.
