Ahmed Shafik in competition during the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
Powerlifting made its debut as a medal sport at the second Paralympic Games in 1964. Initially offered only to lifters with spinal cord injuries, the sport has grown to include numerous disability groups, as well as assimilate rules similar to those of non-disabled lifters. From 1992 to 1996, the number of participating countries more than doubled. Ever since, that number has risen to include 109 countries, and is the fastest growing Paralympic sport in the world.
Athletes draw lots to determine order of weigh-in and lifts. After the athletes are categorized within the 10 different weight classes (male and female), they each lift three times (competing in their respective weight class). The heaviest "good lift" (within the weight class) is the lift used for final placing in the competition.
Paralympic powerlifting competition is open to male and female athletes with physical disabilities such as dwarfism, amputation/limb loss, spinal cord injury/wheelchair-users and cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke.

YORK, PA – The York College baseball squad got swept by St. Mary's College on Saturday afternoon in a Capital Athletic Conference twin bill in York. The Seahawks won the opener 5-2 and concluded the sweep with a 5-0 win in the nightcap.
York falls to 4-11 overall and 3-7 in the CAC while the Seahawks are now 13-9 overall and 6-6 in the league.
In the opener, the Seahawks struck for a single run in the third to take the early lead. York tied the game in bottom of the fourth courtesy of an RBI infield single by Devin Harbold.
St. Mary's recaptured the lead in the fifth on an Eric Gronbeck RBI single to the hole at short. Corey Napier then ripped a shot down the third base line to score Matt Baden as the visitors took a 3-1 lead.
The Green and White got back to within one in the bottom of the fifth as CT Stanley stroked a two-out RBI single to score Kyle Cook, trimming the Spartan deficit to 3-2.
The Seahawks got two huge insurance run as the Spartans committed a bases loaded error with two outs, allowing St. Mary's to score two unearned runs, pushing their lead to 5-2.
York would be unable to reach Seahawk reliever Mikel Iraola as the senior allowed just one Spartan base runner of the final two innings to earn the save.
Mike Victory earned the win for the Seahawks as he allowed two runs, one earned, on seven hits with four strikeouts and a walk in his five innings of action. He improves to 2-3 with the win.
Sophomore Joey Couch took the loss as he allowed five runs, but just two earned, on six hits in his 5.2 innings of work. He falls to 1-4 as he posted three strikeouts and a pair of walks.
Gronbeck led the Seahawk offense, as he was 1-for-3 with two RBI while Napier was 1-for-4 with an RBI.
Stanley had a pair of knocks for York, as he was 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Harbold added two hits to the seven-hit Spartan attack.
In the nightcap, the Seahawks reached freshman starter David Walker for a single run in the top of the first courtesy of a Spartan error. Baden reached on the miscue to start the inning before eventually scoring on a Keith Johnson RBI single to right.
Walker would settle in as the freshman really threw the ball well. Unfortunately for York, the Spartans would be unable to figure out St. Mary's starter Barrett Enix as he kept the Green and White off balance at the plate in his 5.2 innings of shutout work.
The Seahawks tallied two big insurance runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh to provide for the final 5-0 score in the nightcap.
Enix earned the win as he improves to 2-1. He scattered five hits in his stint. He struck out three and did not walk a batter. Wick Eisenberg tossed the final 1.2 innings of the game to earn the save as he allowed one hit during his outting. The save is his fourth of the year and second of the weekend.
Walker took the hard luck loss as the freshman allowed three runs, just one earned, on two hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. He tossed 5.1 innings as he falls to 0-1 with the loss. Fellow freshman Tyler Alexander threw the final 1.2 innings and allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits during his stint.
Baden led the five-hit St. Mary's attack with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI while Johnson was 1-for-2 with two RBI.
Cook led York with two hits including his fourth double of the year.
The Spartans jump out of conference play on Tuesday as they travel to Rowan to face the Profs in a non-league tilt in Glassboro, NJ. York then returns home on Wednesday when they host Wesley in a CAC make up game. First pitch from Jaquet Field is set for 3:30 pm.

Hello, me again, I am wondering does anyone consider a dual boot a good idea or a bad one? I wanted to get rid of windows vista but I have some files and other items I wanted to keep on there.So I was considering a dual boot instead, considering I could let guests, family and friends use the windows side to do what they wanted and I have a linux OS that I could do the things I wanted to.As my own personal space I guess. I was also wondering if anyone else has done this? Lastly if someone could explain the pros and cons that come with Dual booting, that would be awsome.
P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong spot for the forums.I really didn't know where else to put this particular subject.

I've been a fan for a hugely long time. FF7 was the first game of lengthy proportion I'd ever completed when I was a kid. I've been reading some Fan-fics of other games lately including quite a few "AU" versions, of which several were based around one thing changing which effects the whole story.
I'm looking into doing something like this with FF7 but I've noticed that over the years one thing really isn't totally clear to me.
Which is how exactly Sepiroth, Genesis, Angeal and the rest of Soldier are different. Now, I have a rough idea which may even be right, but i'm not certain and I'd really rather not butcher any potential readership of a story by getting something like this wrong XD
Sephiroth was conceived as a normal child to a normal. It was only after she was pregnant with Sephiroth that Hojo injected both her and the fetus with Jenova cells.
Genesis was injected with cells from Gillian, whom had been injected with Jenova cells whilst already an adult. I'm not entirely clear whether this was when he was still a fetus or just after birth, but either way I think its safe to assume that his birth mother was not host Jenova cells.
Angeal then gets a bit more confusing. Now, I think the way it works is this. Gillian was exposed to Genova cells, and he cells were then planted into other stuff as Project G (creating Gensis). I think Angeal is a normally convieved and delivered child. He isnt injected with Jenova as a fetus or at birth, although that may happen later (when joining Soldier). He would have inherited the Jenova cells through via his natural birth mother.
Then there is Soldier. As far as I understand, they are injected with Jenova cells and then bathed in Mako (or whilst being bathed, but basically, mass mako exposure + jenova cell injection). I am guessing that in all likelyhood that the three named maybe didn't actually go through that process as they already had the powers and in truth aren't actually "SOLDIERs" in the truest sense but something more.
So, all 4 have Jenova cells. The two "perfect" experiments both were born from a host that contained Jenova and hence had a natural Jenova inheritance as they had always contained some Jenova. Genesis was formed purely human, although he contained Jenova by birth. So they are technically non-native cells but as they are there whilst the child is still forming in the womb probably wouldn't naturally be treated as "invader cells".
Soldiers are normal humans injected with Jenova (I believe normally at 14-16 as that seems to be the time FF7 chars join army and stuff). I imagine that the Mako treatment is some way of stopping the body from fighting the cells as it would naturally want to do, as much as it is a further power boost. That's why transplanting ain't easy since even cells from other humans gets treated as an invaded and the immune system wants to attack it. Let alone if you start putting parts of a alien inside one.
Cloud was a normal human that was injected with Sephiroth cells and them Mako treated. The same goes for the rest of the of the Niblehem survivors Hojo experimented on. Zack also underwent the same treatment.
Everyone one of those bar Zack were turned basically into zombies as they were not specially picked to go through the process like normal Soldiers are and therefore were not strong or prepared enough to cope with it. Zack was selected to be in soldier and so was able to go through the process successfully and remain fully aware of himself.
Whilst the rest of clones have no way to remember who they are and discarded, Cloud is kept by Zack. Zack' constant communication keeps Cloud from totally going into zombie mode and his mind absorbs that to create some sort of identity when he finally recovers enough from the Mako addiction to become mobile. He comes to just as Zack dies, which doesn't help Clouds mental state and also stops Zack being able to help Cloud remember the last few years. As he wanders and then recovers with Tifa, his mind ends up making up the story he does, but due to both Zack and Tifa's influence he is able to form an identify, which is the only real difference between him and the black cloak clones.
Which i think covers the lot. I'm fairly sure that's mainly right. I imagine there are one or two other theories, but hopefully what I'm thinking isn't too far out there XD.

Still "king": Earnhart & friends take the Prism
The upcoming week is packed with great shows: Scene Creamers on Friday at Tokyo Rose (the new band of Ian Svenonius and Michelle Mae, formerly of D.C.-based The Make-Up); a CD release party for local bluegrassers Halfgrassd at Rapulzel's on Saturday, and even the bound-to-be-enlightening battle of the UVA student bands at Jaberwoke on Thursday.
And though I had an amusing and fairly enlightening confrontational dialogue/interview with Scene Creamer's Svenonious, you'll have to tune in next week to hear some of the singer's nuggets of truth. This week the CD release party for Brady Earnhart's new full-length, Manalapan, at the Prism Coffeehouse on Saturday, March 1, is the big story.
Originally from Delray Beach, Florida, Earnhart began writing lyrically inclined folk songs in 1989. By '92 he had relocated to Charlottesville to pursue a Ph.D. in American literature at UVA, and it was here that his star began to rise.
Earnhart's songs are simple and poignant, and their twists of phrase and humorous lines quickly drew the attention of members of the Charlottesville musical community. Local fame was not long in following: Browning Porter and Jeff Romano of local folk-duo Nickeltown ended up recording a few of his songs on their debut CD, Earnhart himself released his acclaimed debut, After You, in '98, and by 2000 the songwriter had orchestrated the creation of the King of My Living Room CD, featuring the live performances of many outstanding local musicians, who just happened to be his friends.
In fact, the credits to Manalapan read like the bill of the greatest local concert ever held, which speaks volumes about the level of esteem with which Earnhart is held in these parts.
Manalapan kicks off with the album's title track, a sweet and mildly time-signature-bending folk/pop tune. "When I had to steal/You helped me make it look like mine & when my closet friend/had told me I'd worn my red carpet thin/you took me in Manalapan," Earnhart sings in his strong but little embellished voice, over a background that immediately calls to mind the guitar-work of Nick Drake.
"Arlington" is next, probably my favorite tune in the set. A catchy but downtrodden melody floats on top of some of Earnhart's carefully picked acoustic guitar, as the singer takes the first-person perspective of "a man with a gun looking for his ex-wife." These two songs sum up the feel of the album– a soft, extremely personal voyage into the mind of its creator, where darkness seems to loom around many of the corners, but you sure enjoy the ride.
Although various other musicians perform on many of the CD's tracks, Earnhart's lightly played acoustic guitar and ringing voice dominate the album.
With lyrics that are soft, sad, but sometimes hilarious, Brady Earnhart is a songwriter of a particular breed– more Dylan than Lennon, more substance than flash, but definitely a shining light to watch.
Brady Earnhart CD Release Party: "Manalapan" with Jan Smith, Danny Schmidt, Nickeltown, and Lance Brenner (of the Naked Puritans) at the Prism Coffeehouse, March 1. $12/$10 advance, 8pm.

Latinos in the 2016 Election: Arizona
This profile provides key demographic information on Latino eligible voters1 and other major groups of eligible voters in Arizona.2 All demographic data are based on Pew Research Center tabulations of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2014 American Community Survey.3
Hispanics in Arizona's Eligible Voter Population
- The Hispanic population in Arizona is the sixth largest in the nation. About 2.1 million Hispanics reside in Arizona, 3.7% of all Hispanics in the United States.
- Arizona's population is 31% Hispanic, the fourth largest Hispanic statewide population share nationally.
- There are 992,000 Hispanic eligible voters in Arizona—the fifth largest Hispanic statewide eligible voter population nationally. California ranks first with 6.9 million.
- Some 22% of Arizona eligible voters are Hispanic, the fourth largest Hispanic statewide eligible voter share nationally. New Mexico ranks first with 40%.
- Some 48% of Hispanics in Arizona are eligible to vote, ranking Arizona 21st nationwide in the share of the Hispanic population that is eligible to vote. By contrast, 81% of the state's white population is eligible to vote.
- Eligible voters are defined as U.S. citizens ages 18 and older. Eligible voters are not the same as registered voters. To cast a vote, in all states except North Dakota, an eligible voter must first register to vote. ↩
- The terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" are used interchangeably. References to other races and ethnicities are to the non-Hispanic components of those populations. ↩
- This statistical profile of eligible voters is based on the Census Bureau's 2014 American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is the largest household survey in the United States, with a sample of about 3 million addresses. The data used for this statistical profile come from the 2014 ACS Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS), representing a 1% sample of the U.S. population. Like any survey, estimates from the ACS are subject to sampling error and (potentially) measurement error. More information is available on ACS sampling strategy and associated error. ↩

Home ... What We Do ... Resources ... Fact Sheets ... Introduction to Intellectual Disability
Intellectual disability is a disability that occurs before age 18. People with this disability experience significant limitations in two main areas: 1) intellectual functioning and 2) adaptive behavior. These limitations are expressed in the person's conceptual, social and practical everyday living skills. A number of people with intellectual disability are mildly affected, making the disability difficult to recognize without visual cues. Intellectual disability is diagnosed through the use of standardized tests of intelligence and adaptive behavior. Individuals with intellectual disability who are provided appropriate personalized supports over a sustained period generally have improved life outcomes (AAIDD, 2011). In fact, many adults with intellectual disability can live independent, productive lives in the community with support from family, friends and agencies like The Arc.
An estimated 4.6 million Americans have an intellectual or developmental disability (Larson, 2000). Prevalence studies may not identify all people with intellectual disability. Many school age children receive a diagnosis of learning disability, developmental delay, behavior disorder, or autism instead of intellectual disability.
Intelligence refers to a general mental capability. It involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience. Intelligence is represented by Intelligent Quotient (IQ) scores obtained from standardized tests given by trained professionals. Intellectual disability is generally thought to be present if an individual has an IQ test score of approximately 70 or below.
Adaptive behavior is the collection of conceptual, social and practical skills that have been learned by people in order to function in their everyday lives. Significant limitations in adaptive behavior impact a person's daily life and affect his or her ability to respond to a particular situation or to the environment. Standardized testing aims to measure the following skills:
A significant deficit in one area impacts individual functioning enough to constitute a general deficit in adaptive behavior (AAIDD, 2011).
The effects of intellectual disability vary considerably among people who have them, just as the range of abilities varies considerably among all people. Children may take longer to learn to speak, walk and take care of their personal needs, such as dressing or eating. It may take students with intellectual disability longer to learn in school. As adults, some will be able to lead independent lives in the community without paid supports, while others will need significant support throughout their lives. In fact, a small percentage of those with intellectual disability will have serious, lifelong limitations in functioning. However, with early intervention, appropriate education and supports as an adult, every person with an intellectual disability can lead a satisfying, meaningful life in the community.
Supports include the resources and individual strategies necessary to promote the development, education, interests, and well-being of a person. Supports enhance individual functioning. Supports can come from family, friends and community or from a service system. Job coaching is one example of a support often needed by a new employee with intellectual disability. Supports can be provided in many settings, and a "setting" or location by itself is not a support.
According to the Developmental Disabilities Act (Pub. L. 106-402), the term developmental disability means a severe, chronic disability that:
Before the age of ten, an infant or child with developmental delays may be considered to have an intellectual or developmental disability if his or her disabilities are likely to meet the above criteria without intervention.
The major differences are in the age of onset, the severity of limitations, and the fact that the developmental disability definition does not refer to an IQ requirement. Many individuals with intellectual disability will also meet the definition of developmental disability. However, it is estimated that at least half of individuals with intellectual disability will not meet the functional limitation requirement in the DD definition. The DD definition requires substantial functional limitations in three or more areas of major life activity. The intellectual disability definition requires significant limitations in one area of adaptive behavior.
Those with developmental disabilities include individuals with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, developmental delay, autism and autism spectrum disorders, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (or FASD) or any of hundreds of specific syndromes and neurological conditions that can result in impairment of general intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of a person with intellectual disability.
The term "mental retardation" is an out-dated term that may offer special protections in some states, however, with the passage of Rosa's Law in 2010, many states have replaced all terminology from mental retardation to intellectual disability. Although some still use the term "mental retardation" to be eligible for some services in a few states, in no case does having the label guarantee that supports will be available. The Arc does not encourage the use of nor promote the term mental retardation. The general public, including families, individuals, funders, administrators, and public policymakers at local, state and federal levels, are becoming aware of how offensive this term is and The Arc is actively working to make sure the public at large now use the preferred term of intellectual or developmental disability.

On the cusp of 2013, I've invited 11 of the greater Houston area's top minds to write about something they believe, but cannot prove. A new entry in the 11 for '13 series will be published each morning during the holidays.
Today's mini essay comes from Janet Siefert, a biologist and statistician at Rice University…
"Congratulate me. I am going to Oz to get my brains at last. When I return I shall be as other men are." — The Scarecrow.
Riding an elevator down to the first floor of the science research building at the University of Houston several years ago, I overheard, Juan Oro, a famous Spanish origin of life researcher, explain his belief in the phenomenon of intuition.
"Intuition is the unconscious gathering of facts, facts that consciously one would never associate because they seem incongruous. It leads one to leaps of understanding beyond what an ordinary conscious evaluation would warrant." He said this in a soft voice, thick with Catalan accent. Looking around at those of us considering the statement, his eyes twinkled a bit as he finished, "Some people's subconscious is better than others."
At the time I thought this as close a scientific explanation for intuitive thinking and insight as one might be willing to expect. It was a valid attempt to understand the seemingly supernatural power of the human mind.
Our knowledge is ever expanding with regards to how our brains work. We know about neural chemistry, brain plasticity, and the effects of genetic mistakes in producing autism and sociopathic tendencies. We know that as humans, our brains are dominated by the cerebral cortex, setting us apart from all other animals, including dolphins, whales, and chimps. Science has mapped the seat of language and emotion. We know that our brains are greedy with regards to metabolic requirements: occupying only 2 percent of the physical weight of our bodies but receiving 15 percent of the cardiac output, consuming 20 percent of the total body oxygen and 25 percent of total body glucose.
This is all meaningful data, as it would be if we were discussing our livers or limbs. However, measuring the human brain in terms of metabolic consumption and synaptic discharges does not provide data for the complex cognitive abilities that define the human mind. The mind is much more than the brain; it is a place of consciousness, thinking, perception, judgment, imagination, and reasoning, and it's these particular attributes that remain elusive when posed in classic terms of science.
The mind, as an emergent property of who we are as humans, is minimally a case of the whole being more than the sum of the parts. Subconsciousness and insight are tantalizing properties, reminding us that while science can define the brain, it cannot describe the reasons we love, hate, believe, create art, express ourselves through music or write poetry. To the benefit of mankind, we will better understand the brain and how to heal it. But we cannot provide scientific proof of the entity that is our mind through MRI's, biochemical summaries or genetic profiles. We cannot prove that we are who we are — individual humans, who dream and hope and wonder why we do, some with more intuitive subconscious abilities than others — without going beyond the normal vocabulary of science.
Paradoxically, it may be the very property of mind that prevents proof of itself. We somehow know that we are mindful beings, not because we can prove it but because our minds can think it. We can observe the power of the mind and glimpse its astonishing facilities, but explanations such as Dr. Oro's are likely as close as we will come to proving the human mind.

Fudan Educators to Visit Wabash Campusby Howard Hewitt • February 17, 2012 Share:
One of the first orders of business after President Patrick White and other college leaders visited China in mid-October was to arrange for an exchange visit.
Professor Lizhu Fan, Dean of the School of Social Development and Public Policy, and Professor Na Chen of the School of Communications at Fudan University, will be on campus for three days beginning Monday to meet members of the Wabash community. Each professor will also deliver a public lecture.
President White, Dean of the College Gary Phillips, the College's first tenure-track professor in Chinese Qian Pullen, and Economics Professor Kay Widdows visited Fudan and East China Normal University in mid-October.
Fudan leaders enthusiastically welcomed the Wabash leadership and delved into possible agreements for exchange. The Chinese educators expressed a strong desire to learn more about the liberal arts and how to measure its success.
"After enjoying the hospitality of Fudan University in Shanghai last October, we are very glad to be able to welcome Dean Fan and Dr. Chen to Wabash College," President Patrick White said. "Fudan is one of China's greatest universities, and we are glad to have the opportunity to share the Wabash experience of distinguished liberal arts education for men with our colleagues from Fudan.
"Wabash has found in Fudan University a partner with a great interest in the Wabash mission to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely."
Fudan, one of China's oldest and most prestigious university, entered a memorandum of understanding with Wabash to lay the ground work for cooperation between the two colleges in developing Wabash's new Asian Studies program.
"We know this connection between us will help the students, faculty, and staff of both Fudan and Wabash enrich our learning and expand our shared experiences as border crossers and citizens of the world," White said. "All of Wabash joins me in welcoming our distinguished visitors."
An interesting twist to the visit is that Professor Chen will join the Wabash faculty as a visiting professor in the fall and offer classes in the Religion and Rhetoric departments. Chen is an expert in intercultural communication. He is the Director of the Fudan-London School of Economics joint Master's program in Global Media and Communication.
Chen's public presentation will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in Center 216. His talk is titled "Created Equal or Born Equal?" A pizza lunch will be offered.
Dean Fan will make a public presentation at 5:30 p.m. Monday in Center 216. Her talk will be title "Religious Revival and Development in Contemporary China."
Dean Fan (at left) is known for her work in the historical and ethnographic studies of Chinese folk religious beliefs, the exploration of theories on the sociology of religion, and the study of the trends of folk religious beliefs in modern Chinese society. She has been widely published in academic journals. She is also the director of a research project funded by the Ford Foundation studying the participation of folk religious organizations in modern social life in rural Hebei and Zhejiang.
Wabash College received a $750,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to establish — in collaboration with DePauw University — faculty and curricular development in Asian Studies. The program will be entitled Asian Studies and the Liberal Arts.

Gaels Top Yale 78-62
MORAGA, Calif. – Two days after playing in his hometown of Reno against Nevada, Austin Morgan had another memorable day for the Yale men's basketball team. Morgan became the 25th player in school history to score 1,000 career points. It wasn't enough to power the Bulldogs to victory, though.
Matthew Dellavedora scored 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field and added six assists as defending West Coast Conference champion Saint Mary's topped Yale 78-62 before 2,814 at McKeon Pavilion.
Perhaps fittingly, Morgan reached the milestone on a three-pointer in the second half. He now has 170 career treys, which is fourth all-time at Yale.
Greg Mangano '12 was the last Yale player to reach the 1,000-career point mark. He did it last year in the home game with Harvard.
Greg Kelley scored a career-high 14 points to pace the Bulldogs (4-9). Morgan added 11 points, and Javier Duren also had a personal best, finishing with 10 points.
The game was a homecoming for Jeremiah Kreisberg, a Berkeley, Calif., native. Kreisberg attended Saint Mary's Basketball Camp several times as a youngster. He is a graduate of the Head-Royce School where he helped lead the team to the quarterfinals of the state tournament for the first time in school history in his senior year. He was a two-time BCL East League Most Valuable Player and earned California Division 5 all-state recognition as both a junior and senior. Kreisberg finished with seven points and six rebounds.
Yale saw first hand why Saint Mary's is one of the top shooting teams in the nation. The Gaels (10-3) shot 51.6 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.
The Bulldogs did hold their own on the boards. Saint Mary's, which entered the game outrebounding its opponents by nearly 10 a game, had only a 41-38 advantage.
Yale had 22 offensive rebounds but turned them into only 10 second-chance points.
The score was tied at 4-4 three minutes in, but the Gaels ran off 10 straight points to seize control.
The lead remained 10, 40-30, at halftime.
Saint Mary's opened the second half with a 10-0 run. The Bulldogs got back within 13, 56-43, on a Kreisberg three-pointer with 12:58 left, but the Gaels answered with eight straight points to seal it.
NOTES: Kelley finished 4-of-5 from three-point range en route to his career-high 14-point performance… Justin Sears finished with nine points, seven rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes… The Bulldogs had 16 assists on their 24 field goals. Michael Grace led the way with six… Freshman Nick Victor contributed five points, three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes off the bench… Yale's bench outscored Saint Mary's 35-23… Saint Mary's is one of only five Division I programs to win 25 or more games each of the past five seasons. Last year, the Gaels won the West Coast Conference title and fell to Purdue in the second round of the NCAA Tournament… Saint Mary's hosts Harvard on Monday… The Bulldogs conclude their three-game post holiday road trip at Iowa State on New Year's Day.

Undergraduate Chapter Awards
The Chapter Annual Report and Major Awards Application is a mandatory report that all undergraduate chapters must submit at the end of each academic year. It was instituted in the 2009–10 academic year as a method for chapters to efficiently report on their performance, accomplishments and achievements during the academic year. Essentially, the report acts as a capstone summary and an opportunity for the chapter to inform the Fraternity and their advisors of the chapter's performance over the course of the previous year. Data from this report is analyzed so that the Fraternity can acquire a better understanding for the common challenges that are facing its chapters. Information from the report is used to select winners of the various annual awards that the Fraternity confers upon its chapters.
The report can be accessed here.
Chapter submissions are due May 1.
Chapter advisor submissions are due May 8.
Grand Praetor submissions are due May 15.
The report is available online by March 1.
The William "Pop" Henning Life Loyal Sig Award
This award recognizes the undergraduate chapter that adds the highest percentage of undergraduate Life Loyal Sigs throughout the school year. The award is named for 18th Grand Consul William C. "Pop" Henning, DEPAUW 1890, who is Life Loyal Sig No. 1.
The winning chapter receives a custom Life Loyal Sig plaque to display in the chapter house, as well as a $1,000 scholarship from the Fraternity to be used for one of the following purposes:
Charles G. Ross Undergraduate Chapter Publications Award
The Fraternity presents the Charles G. Ross Award to the undergraduate chapter with the most outstanding publications program. Criteria include the inclusion of content concerning undergraduate and alumni news, writing and editing, layout, general appearance, and the frequency and quality of publication. The award is named for the late Significant Sig Charles G. Ross, MISSOURI-COLUMBIA 1905.
James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award
The James F. Bash Significant Improvement Award — funded by 49th Grand Consul James F. Bash, BUTLER and INDIANA 1946, and his wife, Connie — is given to chapters that demonstrate major improvement in total chapter operations from year to year. Significant improvement is defined as a gain of at least 25 percent in the score ascribed to a Peterson Significant Chapter Award application from one year to the next. All chapters that apply for the Peterson will be considered for the Bash Award; therefore, there is no separate application for this award.
Daniel William Cooper Award
This annual award honors the undergraduate chapter that has the most outstanding scholastic achievement program. The winning chapter receives a plaque and has its name engraved on the Daniel William Cooper Award trophy on display in the Sigma Chi Museum at Headquarters. Recipients of this award are chosen from the pool of Peterson Significant Chapter Award applicants.
Robert E. Joseph Risk Management Foundation Award
This award is named in honor of past Risk Management Foundation (RMF) chairman and 56th Grand Consul Robert E. Joseph, WILLAMETTE 1957. The RMF began funding this annual grant in 1998 for the purpose of supporting further risk management education and chapter house life safety improvements, as well as recognizing chapters with exemplary risk management programs.
Peterson Significant Chapter Award
The Peterson Significant Chapter Award, sponsored annually by the Sigma Chi Foundation, is the highest honor that the Fraternity bestows upon an undergraduate chapter. Named for 38th Grand Consul J. Dwight Peterson, INDIANA 1919, the award recognizes excellent, but not impossible, performance by chapters in all major areas of operation and programming. For many years, the Peterson plaque has been a symbol of dedication, idealism and achievement.

The Honors Program is designed as a systematic, integrated, and articulated experience for selected undergraduates.
History of the Program
The Honors Program was outlined in May 1967 for consideration by the faculty Senate and approved in November 1967, with the first Honors Scholars being admitted in September 1969. As the program developed during the 1970s and 1980s, the curriculum was revised a number of times, including the creation of an integrative seminar and an honors thesis/project.
The Program continues to be guided by the Honors Council, a group of twelve faculty from across a variety of academic disciplines and from all three colleges. The Council has responsibility for continuous review of the curriculum and specifically the interdisciplinary courses that are unique to the Honors Program. The Council includes the Director of the Honors Program, who has reassigned time from a faculty position to direct the Program.
From its inception, the Honors Program has been dedicated to academic excellence and classroom experimentation, and it serves as a model of interdisciplinarity for the University. As President Bangsberg stated in his inaugural 1965 address, "We must continue to develop our Honors Program and independent study, for the task of becoming educated cannot be completed in college. We must help our students to become self-motivated, self-directed, autonomous learners."
That challenge translated into a proposal that stated, "The purpose of the program is to provide superior students with instructional services which will challenge them to put forth their best efforts in undergraduate study and to enrich their college experience up to the level of their ability to learn."
Examples of additions to the Program that serve to enrich the students' experiences, beyond the outstanding, innovative interdisciplinary course, are the Honors Council Lecture Series, a retreat at Lake Bemidji State Park, participation in the Upper Midwest Regional Honors Council Conference, and Honors Residence on the 11th and 12th floors of Tamarack Hall.
The Honors Program strives to provide intellectual excitement and academic challenges to all who participate in it, faculty and Honors Scholars alike. Through forty years, the Program has worked to remain faithful to President Bangsberg's initial charge that is as valid today as when it was made.

In 1975 the Defense Nuclear Agency published a detailed, geological study that discussed dozens of possible sites all over the country for very deeply based military installations -- as much as 5,000 ft. underground. ... It lists: "Mid-West - Northern Wisconsin (general area between Chippewa Falls, Wausau and Florence)"
A Rand corporation physicist has devised a rapid transit system to get you from Los Angeles to NY in half an hour for a $50 fare. He said existing technology made such a system feasible and so does a cost analysis. The essence of the idea is to dig a tunnel more or less along the present routes of U.S. highways 66 and thirty.
The Globalists will never induce a successful nuclear war.There are too many otherworlders that will not let Earth humanity end up with the same type of nuclear devastation like Mars and Mercury did.This is generally unknown to the public and pisses off the Globalists in secret.They will have to use a viral weapon via drones to achieve their NWO.

4.2 Earthquake in Eastern Missouri This Morning30 minutes? That must be a typo and they meant 30 seconds.Quake on Unknown Fault Rattles St. Louishttp://www.ouramazingplanet.com/st-louis-earthquake-110607-1604/Jun 7, 2011 10:21 AM ETBy OurAmazingPlanet StaffA magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck overnight near St. Louis, Mo., next to the notorious New Madrid seismic zone, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.Residents reported shaking for up to 30 minutes, according to news reports. The quake struck about 3 miles (5 kilometers) underground and about 50 miles (82 km) southwest of St. Louis.The rupture was on an unknown fault in the Illinois basin-Ozark dome region, which is adjacent to the more famous and more seismically active New Madrid seismic zone. About 200 years ago, the New Madrid zone unleashed a series of powerful earthquakes that downed trees and sent waves on the Mississippi River roaring over its banks.The Illinois basin-Ozark dome region has never seen a quake that big. This region covers parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. The region has known faults but numerous smaller or deeply buried faults remain undetected, according to the USGS.Even the known faults are poorly located, so few earthquakes in the region can be linked to named faults and it is difficult to determine if a known fault is still active and could slip and cause an earthquake.Moderately damaging earthquakes strike somewhere in the region each decade or two, and smaller earthquakes are felt about once or twice a year. The largest historical earthquake in the region (magnitude 5.4) damaged southern Illinois in 1968.A multi-state earthquake drill was held in the region earlier this year to raise awareness of the fault systems and their potential to rupture.
Location of the Missouri Earthquake A website that tracks earthquake, earthquake-report.com, posted some comments from users who reported feeling their homes and furniture shake: "Chesterfield Missouri (IV MMI) : My dog was acting VERY weird for a good five minutes before We felt the noticeable amount of shaking. Very scary. The dog is still acting the same way, seems like shes actually getting worse. Very antsy and nervous. Shaking a lot. Our home seems to be okay, but the dogs are going crazy!" "Columbia Missouri : My bed trembled. I (am) about 120 miles northwest of Sullivan, MO." "Jefferson City, Missouri : Felt the whole house and all the furniture shake here in Jefferson city!" The quake was reportedly felt as far away as Illinois. http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/st-louis-quake_2011-06-07

Cook over medium-low heat for about 50 minutes. Remove cover. Gently stir the paella. Press the artichokes one by one into the top of the casserole, arranging evenly over the top of the rice. If the paella seems dry at this point, pour ¼ to ½ cup more broth over top of the casserole. Do not stir!
Cook another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is soft, checking occasionally. If rice is still firm, add ¼ cup more vegetable broth and cook for 15 minutes more.
Serve in pretty bowls with whole grain bread on the side.
Garlicky Hummus
Makes about 1 ¼ cups
1 cup chick peas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons tahini, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon chili powder, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup water, plus more as needed
3 cloves garlic
Place all ingredients into a blender. Process until smooth. If a thicker hummus is desired, add 1 more tablespoon of the tahini and process again until smooth.
Serve in a pretty bowl. Garnish with more chili powder, if desired.
Pineapple-Pecan Cake
Makes 6 to 8 Servings
1⁄2 ripe pineapple, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
2⁄3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
11⁄4 cups vanilla nondairy milk
1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whole pecans, for garnish
Fresh or frozen raspberries, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spread vegan margarine over the sides of an 8-inch square baking pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
To make the topping, put the pineapple slices in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Turn the slices over gently to evenly coat them with the sugar. Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer in the prepared pan, slightly overlapping them.
To make the cake, put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a dry whisk to combine. Add the brown sugar and wheat germ and stir with the whisk to combine. Add the pecans and pineapple and stir until coated with the flour. Add the nondairy milk, oil, and vanilla extract and stir just until evenly incorporated and smooth. (If the mixture seems too "loose" add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the batter is thick enough to form soft peaks).
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the cake begins to brown too much during the last 15 minutes of baking, tent it with foil.
Put the pan on a wire rack and loosen the sides with a knife. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Let cool for 10 minutes longer before slicing. Garnish with pecans and raspberries, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Wrapped tightly and refrigerated, leftover cake will keep for about 4 days.

Once Upon a Weekend
Each semester, the campus community packs the Black Box for rough-and-ready theatre in which original plays are cast, rehearsed, and performed in just 24 hours.
It's 10 o'clock on a Saturday night in late October, and every seat in the Black Box at Fir Acres Theatre is filled. Three more rows of students sit on the floor in front of the narrow swath of the room desig- nated as the stage. Even more students crowd the back of the room and the cat- walk above. Finally, with careful planning, shouted ushering, and much cooperation, everyone fits, and the event, miraculously, starts more or less on time.
This is Once Upon a Weekend, Lewis & Clark's festival of hastily prepared short plays, and it is packed.
The cramped seating is nothing new for the semiannual event, in which student writers are given one week to write 10- minute plays on a supplied theme (this fall it's "Saboteurs!"). The best of the plays, as determined by the board of (Pause.), the college's journal of dramatic writing, are cast, rehearsed, and performed in the course of 24 hours by student actors and directors.
The theatre is always filled to bursting with an audience eager to share in the chaotic creative mess, but this year is special. It is, according to Associate Pro- fessor of Theatre Stephen Weeks, "as far as anyone can tell, the 10th anniversary" of Once Upon a Weekend, and the the- atre department celebrated by inviting alumni to join in the fun.
And join they did. Seven alumni sent in scripts, 11 offered to act or direct (half of whom graduated before the event's inception), and 65 signed up to attend.
Lights up on the first play of the evening, Night Flower Ninjas, by Sander Gusinow CAS '10. A pair of assassin sisters in black spandex debate the fitness of their other, younger, spacey sister while mercilessly slitting the throats of a horde of drunken, licentious pirates. They reconcile in a less-than-sisterly embrace, to loud cheer- ing from the audience.
Once Upon a Weekend was brought to Lewis & Clark by Weeks, who got the idea from Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Paula Vogel. In the late 1980s, Weeks was working as dramaturg and literary manager for the Los Angeles Theatre Center. "We were producing Paula Vogel, and at that time she was the director of the M.F.A. playwriting program at Brown University," he says. "She was going to be taking a sabbatical in 1990–91, so she asked me if to fill in for her. I inherited Paula's students and all of the programs she had started."
One of those programs was Once Upon a Weekend, a rough-and-ready late-night production of short plays by students. "If what we do sounds similar, it's because I stole the idea from her," Weeks says unabashedly. "When I came to Lewis & Clark, there was no playwriting program whatsoever. I taught Introduction to Playwriting for the first time in 1996. I still teach it in alternate years. The sec- ond iteration of the class was in 1998, and after that I decided it was time to do Once Upon a Weekend."
The event was a hit. These days, Once Upon a Weekend is mostly student- produced. "I now have to do very little, because the idea is so well-established," Weeks says. "It's pretty much under the control of the (Pause.) board. They come up with the theme, collect the scripts, and sort through them to choose the ones to be produced."
The second show of the night is A Woeful Tale of a Fallen Balloon, by Katrina Maloney CAS '11, in which a trio of well- to-do explorers ponder the cause of the hot-air balloon accident that has delayed their pursuit of the Fountain of Youth.
An awkward love triangle emerges, along with a nonchalant tiger, and one of the explorers is tragically left behind.
Here's how it usually works: Students submit their plays, many of which are written just hours before the deadline, to the (Pause.) board. The students on the board, in turn, distribute scripts to directors just before a Friday afternoon casting session. The directors fight over which actors they want, are assigned two-hour rehearsal blocks on Saturday, and get the whole shebang finished by that evening. Lines are half-memorized, costumes are pulled from the closets of sartorially inclined friends, and sets are assembled from piles of black boxes. It is an ecstatic disaster, just as much fun for the participants as for the audience.
Incorporating alumni increased the logistical challenges of the process. "With the addition of alumni this semester, we encountered some added pressure to make it a good show," says Brad Jonas CAS '10, co-organizer and emcee of the event. "There was more faculty involve- ment because of that, I think, to take off some of the pressure."
This year, Weeks—along with Stepan Simek, associate professor of theatre— collected and read all the alumni and student scripts. Together, they narrowed the field to six plays. "Then we had another session, a paper casting, where we tried to figure out where the alums would go and how they would match up with students," says Weeks. "I think we achieved a good degree of integration."
Next up is Saboteur(s), a bittersweet play written by Laura VanZee Taylor B.A. '92 and directed by Brian Costello B.A. '96. A mother of two (Ever Carradine B.A. '96) is searching for a topic to write about for Once Upon a Weekend. (This is a perennial theme at the event.) She asks her Facebook friends for guidance and, finding them unhelpful, decides to write what she knows—that her children are spoiling her sleep and her love life. As the play unfolds, she ends up ignoring her annoying, oversized children and neglected husband (Brian Gursky B.A. '96) in favor of chatting online with an old boyfriend.
Mixing current students with alumni meant most directors worked with actors they'd never seen before. For A Woeful Tale of a Fallen Balloon, the last play to rehearse before curtain, this proved to be no incon- venience whatsoever. Director Marianna Hane Wiles B.A. '06 and Mahria Lebow B.A. '06 joined the rest of the cast, Jon Wash CAS '11 and Ro Haan Mehta CAS '11, in the theatre's lobby at 7 p.m.,
meeting for the first time amid a crowd of actors streaming out of the Black Box in dance clothes and zombie makeup.
Wiles and Lebow had already scoured the campus for balloons to use as props (they found two dozen, left over from the homecoming festivities, tied up in front of J.R. Howard Hall), so the cast set about rehearsing straightaway. They assembled in the quarter of the room labeled "STAGE" in white gaffer's tape, scripts in hand, cramming lines while Wiles spread a green cloth over the purloined balloons and tied their ribbons to a cardboard box. This suggestion of a hot-air balloon was to be the production's primary prop.
Rehearsal moved quickly, progressing from a flat reading to a modestly robust performance in just three run-throughs. The actors went for big gestures and pre- posterous accents, blustering through the script while Wiles gave intermittent notes. "Put your foot on the box," she told Mehta. "Look all explorerly." With half an hour to go, the group took a break to raid the theatre's prop closet, returning promptly with a pith helmet, flask, and pistol. One more high-speed run-through and time was up. The cast took off to hunt for costumes as the lobby filled.
By 9:30 p.m., the line of theatre-goers doubled back, stretching out into the night.
The fourth play, Who Stole the Cookies, is a mystery that delves into the fantastic, written by Jill Johnson CAS '12. A little girl and her outlandishly costumed imaginary friends—a frog, a bear, and a devil— attempt to determine who stole the cook- ies that were being saved for the after- noon's tea party. (Spoiler alert: it was the devil.)
Is there an educational purpose to all this madness? Weeks thinks so. "Certainly the intention in the beginning was to establish a playwriting presence on campus, and the impetus behind Once Upon a Weekend was to create opportunities for writing," he says. "Now, as it turns out it's also a nice supplement to directing classes and acting classes. So does it fit in with our overall program in terms of giving our students a chance to practice their crafts? Absolutely. I think the fact that some of the plays are going to be on the silly side is inevitable due to the basic nature of the event and the interests of the people who are out there writing, acting, and directing."
Once Upon a Weekend has certainly encouraged the writing efforts of participants. Both Mahria Lebow and Max Ward B.A. '06 have continued writing scripts after having plays produced at the event. It is, for many student writers, the first time they've ever seen their work performed on stage.
Ward was one of those students, having never written for the stage before taking Weeks' playwriting class. He is now studying scenic design at the Central School of Speech and Drama at the University of London. "Once Upon sort of made writing for stage make sense to me," he says. "By seeing my work performed for the first time, I was better able to understand the challenges of a playwright … It provided me with both the incentive and the opportunity to con- tribute to the campus theatre community within an accessible and collaborative environment."
Next is Happy Holidays From the Hamiltons, by Nick Lantz B.A. '03. An unhappy family is prodded by its geeky patriarch to sit through the excruciating process of taking the holiday card photo—an endeavor that each member of the family in turn attempts, hilariously, to derail.
Whether participants go on writing plays or not, Once Upon a Weekend is a treasured memory of many alumni. "Once Upon a Weekend was one of my favorite events in the theatre department when
I was at Lewis & Clark, and I was thrilled to be able to come back and take part in an intergenerational Once Upon," says Abi Kurfman B.A. '08. "It had all the usual fun of Once Upon a Weekend— the brevity, the intensity, and the inanity of the experience. Allowing alumni to take part was a great way to keep our connection to the college alive and well."
Lantz, a poet with two books, We Don't Know We Don't Know (Graywolf Press) and The Lightning That Strikes the Neighbors' House (University of Wisconsin Press), due out in 2010, also has fond memories of the event. "Once Upon a Weekend combined what were probably my two main occupations at Lewis & Clark: creative writing and pulling delirious all-nighters," he says. "I loved the com- pression of it, the mad dash to write something, to get it cast, rehearsed, and on stage in under a week. It was insane! But what was even more amazing was how good the end product often was."
We close with France France Revolution, by Tessa Siegel CAS '12, a 19th-century farce in which Maximilien Robespierre and Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just are confounded by the citizenry's objections to the Reign of Terror. They are suddenly interrupted by a horde of zombies led by their English butler, who break down the door, devour the tyrants, and break into a performance of the zombie dance from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. The plot doesn't quite follow, the cast of 13 don't have the steps quite down, and the script alludes to obscurities of both French history and contemporary popular culture. It is, in short, a perfect encapsulation of Once Upon a Weekend. ■
Ben Waterhouse B.A. '06 is the theatre critic for the Portland newspaper Willamette Week, a career choice he attributes in large part to having written and performed in Once Upon a Weekend.

Texas on the Potomac welcomes political commentary from across the political spectrum. Today, we offer a guest blog written by economist and author Jerry Jasinowski, former president of the National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute.
As a nonpartisan commentator, I make it my business from time to time to point out some of the more obvious examples of political demagoguery on both sides of the political spectrum — giving equal time to each side, of course.
I begin with the continuing effort by President Obama and his campaign team to besmirch Mitt Romney's work with Bain Capital, the private equity firm that Romney helped found. Obama's general thrust is that the very business of private equity is a conspiracy to ship American jobs overseas.
One can only wonder if the president and his team actually believe what they are saying or are merely resorting to demagoguery to placate the party base. I can understand their desire to distract voters from the economy, but the last thing we need is a chief executive undercutting the free enterprise system. Private equity is not the problem. Private equity investors quite simply take over struggling enterprises and try to make them competitive and profitable, and they are successful more often than not.
Over the past half century, private equity firms have emerged as a robust alternative to the stock market. Today, some 2,600 private equity firms are invested in more than 15,000 U.S. companies that employ about eight million people. In 2011 alone, they invested $144 billion in more than 1,700 U.S. –based firms. Private equity firms have nothing to apologize for, and in fact deserve a lot of credit for the mostly positive role they play in our economy. Many pension funds and public endowments have greatly benefited by investing in private equity.
Our country has always struggled with immigration as a rich variety of foreign peoples have moved here in a series of waves. For many years, the Irish were denigrated, and then Germans, Italians and various peoples from Eastern Europe.
But every group to arrive on these shores has made wonderful contributions to our economy and culture, and we are the better for it. Without question we have a legitimate issue regarding illegal immigration, and the reluctance of many newcomers to learn English creates a separate set of problems. But for the most part, the latest wave of immigrants is well within the historical pattern of people from poor countries coming here in search of opportunity, and largely taking jobs that few Americans are willing to perform.
I personally would like to see President Obama and Gov. Romney lay off private equity and immigration and focus on economic growth and jobs – offering sensible plans for near term stimulus and long term deficit reduction.

Praise for Henry Louis Gates's Life Upon These Shores
"A distinguished scholar surveys, with lavish illustrations, 500 years of the African-American experience. . . . From the conquistadors and the origins of slavery, through the Revolutionary period, the rise of abolitionism, the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, the Great Migration, both World Wars and the 20th century civil-rights movement, up to President Obama's election, the supremely qualified Gates guides us through centuries of history . . . stunning illustrations . . . striking, comprehensive." –Kirkus Reviews
"You can't beat the fresh and heady scholarship of Life Upon These Shores…Challenging the notion of a single 'Black Experience,' Gates contextualizes his narrative with more than 800 images and doesn't duck controversy." –Library Journal
"Gates documents the famous, the obscure, and the long forgotten…[A] chronicle of the pressing issues and events of each generation and the incredible diversity covered by the appellation African American. A tour de force." –Booklist
"Meticulously researched…a book that truly celebrates the resilience and achievements of African-Americans." –BlackAmericaWeb.com
"Gates avoids cliché, meticulously illuminating the influence and contributions of Blacks in America: from African conquistadors to the election of President Barack Obama. This ambitious title redefines the relevancy of the past to our lives." –Uptown Magazine
"[Life Upon These Shores] would make an excellent addition to a home or school. In fact, if you're feeling generous this season, pick one up and donate it to the middle school library nearest you." –Journal Sentinel
"Compiled with rigorous ambition and scholarship by Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this book weaves nearly 900 images and reams of clear-eyed storytelling into an extraordinary chronology. Not only does a breathtaking range of African-American expression and experience emerge, a portrait of independence, fortitude and deep faith—the essence of American life—comes shining through." –NPR (Best Gift Books of 2012)
"an excellent example of Gates's ability to maintain high standards of scholarship while making a broad, dense subject accessible to a modern audience…A remarkable accomplishment that should endure through many editions. Highly recommended." –Choice
"Reading Life Upon These Shores is like walking through history one day at a time. The rich content of this book pulls the reader in many different directions, and yet Mr. Gates keeps the direction focused…With each new story we sit at Mr. Gate's feet, rest our chin in our hands, and listen and learn…Mr. Gates makes us richer with the knowledge of what went before—and what can be in the future." –New York Journal of Books
"This is not a book to plunk down on the coffee table and flip through on occasion. It deserves to be read and read closely, short essay by short essay." –Philly Online
"[Gates] tells things the way they were, not the way we would like them to be…This book pulls together a valuable account of the African-American experience upon these shores. It is worth a read by all Americans who want to learn where we have been as a nation." –Houston Chronicle
"A stupendous undertaking…a cornucopia of riches…conceptualized and executed with loving care and rigorous intellectual grounding." –Counterpunch
"An amazing compendium of information…it is enlightening to have a wide-angle lens turned on this epic, to see a picture of the whole." –Arts Critic Atlanta

Woman gets restraining order against ex-Lions receiver Titus Young citing domestic violence
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young's legal problems are only getting worse.
According to Riverside County court documents, his son's mother Marjani Maldonado filed for a permanent restraining order against him on Thursday, citing a threat of domestic violence.
Maldonado first requested a restraining order May 8, three days after Young was arrested twice in one day.
On May 5, Young was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, and then arrested again the same day for trying to take his car from a tow yard in Moreno Valley.
The 23-year-old was arrested a third time on May 12, for allegedly breaking into a San Clemente home.
He was charged with attempted burglary, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
