It is possible, had things worked out a bit differently, that Katie Quick might be back in a Chicago Public Schools classroom doing what she loves to do, which is teach.
But life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and so we find Quick living in Nashville, Tenn., and making a name for herself in the music world. She is a rising star on the country music scene, a singer-songwriter with two CDs, dozens of TV and radio appearances, international concert dates and a growing following.
But her heart, in many important ways, is still in Chicago and still in the classroom.
Her first album, the independently produced "Be the Change," was hailed as "a masterpiece … intriguing, captivating and compelling," by Maverick Magazine, a respected country music publication in, of all places, Great Britain. Quick was a finalist in the international John Lennon Songwriting Competition, and the Texas-based Countrychart.com said "she has the vocal chops to take on the divas of country music." In addition to all that, she has created Fingertips (fingertipsprogram.com), an arts and education effort that combines her live music with motivational tales.
"By telling my own story I hope to inspire kids to follow their dreams," she says.
And so, in short, here is that story.
Quick is a child of Evergreen Park and a 2000 graduate of Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School.
"Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher, to try to make a difference," she says.
She became one, winding up teaching 6th-grade science at the Morrill Math & Science Specialty School in the Gage Park neighborhood.
"A lot of the kids in there and other neighborhoods in Chicago don't even show up for class," says Quick. "And if they do come, some just shut down, zone out. Too much testing, too much routine. Their minds can't take it."
Always in love with music — "I was a big Beatles fan and nuts about Motown," she says — she hooked up through Craigslist with the country/rock band Yard Fulla Cars and started playing the local scene.
In her homeroom class, she began to talk about her music and club experiences. One Friday she brought her guitar and played for the kids.
"There are so many kids, especially in the inner city, that never experience live music," she says. "I started to use my music and stories as a kind of incentive for the kids to come to class, to do their homework and to behave. Some of them thought it was funny, 'Oh, Miss Quick, she sings country.' But attendance went up and so did grades."
There is no question that one of the tragedies of public education is that when budgets get squeezed the arts get cut, deemed expendable rather than essential elements of education, of life.
Five years ago, Quick was placed on probation for her musical efforts in class.
"By then I had, empowered by the response of the kids, started to write my own music at night, after grading papers," she says. "When I was put on probation, that seemed almost like a sign, a blessing in disguise. Still, it broke my heart, the decision to leave teaching and pursue music full time."
She hung around these parts for a while, playing with the band and working as a nanny. Two years ago she moved to Nashville.
She is charming, personable and sincere, and is also a one-woman operation, doing all of the producing, booking, public relations and scheduling herself (katiequick.com). She recently sang at a local benefit here and generally returns home about once a month to play and to see her family and friends. From CPS teacher to Nashville singer: Katie Quick traces her start as a country singer back to singing in classroom
She's got a couple of Fingertips programs scheduled at local schools next month and a public appearance Sept. 21 at the Orland Park Library. "I really love Nashville," she says, "but it's not Chicago."
Listen to authors Julia Keller, Krista August and James Joyce (the former Chicago Fire Department commissioner) and musician Patti Rain on "The Sunday Papers With Rick Kogan," 6:30-9 a.m. Sunday on WGN-AM 720.

E-Voting Isn't Perfect, But It Takes Less Work to Corrupt Big Elections
from the O(1) dept
Thad Hall, a political scientist at Caltech, complains that e-voting critics rarely make apples-to-apples comparisons between electronic and paper voting systems. They contend that if traditional paper voting systems were subjected to the same kind of close scrutiny that e-voting endures, security experts would find flaws—ballot tampering, ballot box stuffing, and so forth—at least as serious as the problems commonly identified in touch-screen voting machines. Rice computer scientist Dan Wallach responds by pointing to a new paper he's written proposing an elegant way to think about the security of voting systems. Computer scientists use "big-O" notation to describe the complexity of algorithms. He suggests a similar terminology to describe the effort required to compromise voting systems as a function of the size of the election. A security flaw that can be compromised with an effort proportional to the number of voters N is said to be a O(N) flaw. A flaw that can be exploited with an effort proportional to the number of polling places is an O(P) flaw. A flaw that can be exploited with a constant amount of effort, regardless of the number of voters, is an O(1) flaw.
The last kind of attack is the most dangerous because it's feasible for a small number of people—perhaps even a single individual—to do a lot of damage. The reason paper-based elections tend to be better than touch-screen elections isn't that the former don't have flaws. The difference is that attacks against paper-based voting systems are far more likely to be O(N) or O(P)—that is, you have to tamper with a lot of ballots or corrupt a lot of poll workers. In contrast, because they contain re-programmable computers at their hearts, touch-screen voting systems are far more susceptible to O(1) attacks such as a custom-developed virus or a corrupt employee at the e-voting vendor. Because they allow a single individual to do extensive damage, they're much more dangerous than other kinds of attacks, even if carrying them out takes relatively more skill or effort than other attacks with O(P) or O(N) cost. The reason to prefer paper-based voting to touch-screen voting isn't that paper voting is flawless, but that the attacks against them are labor-intensive enough that it's difficult to carry out large-scale attacks without getting caught.

This Hershey's chocolate cake recipe is an old-fashioned classic that will never, ever disappoint.
A long-term relationship has a lot in common with cleaning out a closet. Over the years, you learn what's worth keeping and what can be tossed. In my nearly two decades with The One, we've often cleared the emotional and interpersonal closets of our lives, each time reshaping the sum of us. For example, I've come to acknowledge his Hess truck collection, which he uses as Christmas decorations, and his infatuation with Kenny G. He, in turn, accepts my love of kitsch and my need to control most everything. And over the years we've watched as my fascination with Glee, his preoccupation with teddy bears, our adulation of Martha Stewart's first TV show, and my hard-core adherence to Atkins were rim-shotted into life's wastebasket.
Yet one thing that has remained non-negotiable for both of us from the very beginning is chocolate cake.
Back when we were still new to each other, though, we had no clue what was important. After The One and I had been together two months, he spent a weekend visiting his mother in Baltimore. On the night of his return, we sat down to dinner—candlelit, of course, as he always insists on candlelight, even for ordinary weeknight suppers. He pushed the chicken around his plate, preoccupied and silent. "Do you think, if this thing is real," he finally said, pointing his fork back and forth between us, "you can promise me forever?"
I set my bowl of Fiber One aside. So here we go, I thought. The conversation. By that time, I'd spent the past eight years serial-dating and getting any romantic notions of "forever" kicked out of me. I also knew how The One had been shunted from mother to grandmother to pastor and back to mother when he was growing up, and how much it had devastated him. The idea of permanence was paramount to his happiness. Yet I didn't want to lie.
"No, mon cher, I can't."
Suddenly he looked like a five-year-old whose Big Wheel I'd accidentally backed over with my car. "I want to promise forever," I rushed to say, trying to cheer him. "But neither of us has any idea who we'll be in 20 years. We could grow apart."
You'd have thought I'd run over his dog, too.
"Or—or—or," I stammered, "on the other hand, we could grow closer. Right? That's a possibility…."
He traffic-copped me, putting up his palm and cutting me off. "I get it, I get it. Don't worry about it."
We tabled the conversation and, over the following weeks, in place of arguing, did what we often do: We turned to chocolate cake. Not just any chocolate cake, but the culinary Eve from which millions of cakes have descended: Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake, featured on the back of the Hershey's cocoa tin for more than 80 years. I'd never made it B.T.O. (Before The One), but it was a dessert his grandmother and mother had always baked.
And what a cake it is. If you've never tasted it, you simply can't comprehend how it satisfies an addiction, soothes anxieties, halts arguments mid-accusation. Frankly, if the United States government sent these chocolate cakes overseas instead of troops, the world would be a kinder, more peaceful place. The cake itself is crazy-dense and moist—something The One loves. So moist is it that when you assemble the layers, your fingertips are covered with sticky chocolate crumbs that you simply have to pause and enjoy, looking for all the world like one of those sex-starved nubile young things on Showtime.
For me, though, it's the frosting that slays. Well, my version of the frosting slays. I use twice as much butter as the original recipe, which makes it creamier, smoother, and less sweet. I'm ashamed to say it, but on more than one occasion, I've been caught unawares by The One and sundry friends with an entire spatula of frosting in my mouth. Still, I make no apologies.
Since then, it's been our birthday cake, anniversary cake, impress-the-snotty-ass-guest cake, hey-it's-a-Tuesday cake, even Valentine's Day cake. But back then, it was our stuff-our-feelings cake.
I struggled to find a way to express to The One my hopes for us. I tried journaling, armed with pen in one hand, fork in the other. I verbally wrestled with my therapist, shouting at him for making me a romantic pragmatist—so realistic and clear-eyed about love that I couldn't indulge in a little forever fantasy. I asked advice of friends who'd been together far longer than us. Nothing helped.
One month and several cakes later, The One arranged for us to spend New Year's Eve in Paris at the home of two ridiculously pretentious and nouveau-riche friends. While walking through their monstrously enormous apartment, I was suddenly struck dumb. From their five-figure sound system wafted lyrics to a song—"When I Fall in Love"—sung by Céline Dion and Clive Griffin, that gave voice to what I could not.
To me, it syncopated our two contrary points of view. (If you haven't listened to the song, now would be a good time.) "When I fall in love, it will be forever, or I'll never fall in love" suited The One. It comforted him, made him feel at home. "When I give my heart, it will be completely, or I'll never give my heart," spoke to me. I couldn't promise him forever, but I could promise that I'd love him completely for as long as I can. It's my own personal forever.
I waited until Pretentious Frenchman and his O'er-Reaching Snot Boyfriend were gone and then led The One into the living room as the opening strains embraced the room. He began to speak. "Shh! Listen," I shushed. As Clive crooned the "forever" verse, I laid my hand on his chest. "This is you." Then as Céline glided through the "completely" stanza, I added, "This is me."
We had yet to exchange vows of love—that would be later that week, on the Left Bank of the Seine—but in that moment my need to control things precipitously proclaimed, "This is our song!" And, completely uncharacteristically, he didn't argue. He simply accepted it and understood that although he needs to be loved forever and I need to be loved entirely, we were committed to one another.
All these years later, the song has proven to be something worth keeping. It usually underscores Valentine's dinners—the highlight of which is another great keeper of our lives: that Hershey's chocolate cake. These days, though, the cake lasts half as long as it did back then. That's because with age comes not only wisdom, but relief that you no longer have to have a 32-inch waist to attract love and that there's no harm in seconds—or thirds.
So now it's our literal closets that need to be cleared of those once-flattering flat-front chinos, medium-size shirts, and long-ago-loose sweaters.
But, hey, love is forever, right?
Hershey's Chocolate Cake Recipe
This Hershey's chocolate cake needs no introduction, as it's been around for almost a century. If you've never made it, you're in for an old-fashioned treat. And if you've never made it with my wee spin, you're in for an even greater treat. All I've done is add some instant espresso powder to the batter and the frosting. It amps up the flavor. And I wanted a frosting that was more buttery and less cloyingly sweet. Using a greater proportion of butter to sugar makes the frosting soooo light–nothing at all like the cloying, gritty American buttercreams out there. That's it. Finito. Pronto.
Bottom line: Don't mess (too much) with perfection. Originally posted February 8, 2013.–David Leite
LC Comfort Cake Note
Nothing brings comfort like chocolate cake. But this chocolate cake? It also brings oohs and aahs, inspires reverence, evokes gratitude, and halts conversations mid-sentence. We ought to know.
Hershey's Chocolate Cake
- Quick Glance
- Serves 10 to 12
- For Hershey's chocolate cake
- Butter, for the pans
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pans
- 3/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup mild vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- For Hershey's chocolate frosting
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (8 oz), melted
- 1 1/3 cups Hershey's Cocoa
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso
- 3 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Make the Hershey's chocolate cake
- 1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and crank up the heat to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter and flour two 9-inch round baking pans, tapping out any excess flour.
- 2. In a large bowl with a wooden spoon (surely you have one, yes?), stir together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. Plop the eggs in the center of the cocoa mixture and pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla, and, using a handheld electric mixer (oh c'mon, surely you still have one of those, too?!), beat the ingredients on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water. The batter will appear to be wicked thin but fear not, that's just the way this recipe works. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, dividing it evenly.
- 4. Bake the cakes for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the wire racks, remove the pans, and let them cool completely.
- Make the Hershey's chocolate frosting
- 5. In a bowl, stir together the butter, cocoa, and espresso powder.
- 6. Add some of the confectioners' sugar and then add some of hte milk, beating with a handheld electric mixer (see how handy it can be?!) after each addition. Continue to add the ingredients alternately and beat until you achieve a thick but spreadable consistency. If a less stiff consistency is desired, add additional milk in small increments until the desired consistency is achieved. Stir in the vanilla.
- 7. Place a single cake layer on a serving platter or cake stand and spread a goodly amount of frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top of the first and then frost the sides and the top of the cake, creating as few or as many lavish swoops and swirls in the frosting as desired. Cut the chocolate cake into gargantuan wedges and serve.
Tuxedo Variation
- Tower of Chocolate Cake
- For a more elegant take on this cake, make a double batch of frosting, slice each layer in half horizontally, fill, and frost. You'll end up with a towering cake with four layers. Pull out the linen napkins.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The racing gods smiled on California Chrome again on Wednesday, handing the colt post position two for Saturday's Belmont Stakes where he will attempt to become horse racing's 12th Triple Crown winner.
With a field of 11 runners entered for the $1.5 million classic, California Chrome drew perfectly near the inside for the exhausting 1 1/2-mile (2,400 meters) journey that will determine whether he conquers U.S. racing's greatest challenge and joins the sport's immortals.
"It's a good post position," said Art Sherman, California Chrome's 77-year-old trainer. "At least we'll save some ground leaving there.
"But I think it'll be a jockeys' race anyhow. It gives you a chance to see who is going to have the speed and where you land into the first turn."
If the 3-year-old colt can add the Belmont Stakes to his impressive wins in last month's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, he will become the first horse in 36 years to achieve the elusive Triple Crown.
Racing is a notoriously fickle sport where luck plays a big part but fate could be on California Chrome's side. In 1973, the legendary Secretariat also wore the number two saddlecloth in the Belmont when he broke a 25-year Triple Crown drought.
By coincidence, Secretariat and California Chrome both had the same number three starting gate for the Preakness, but not the Kentucky Derby.
California Chrome was immediately installed as the 3-5 early favorite for Saturday's race in Elmont, New York, after his main rivals all drew outside of him
Wicked Strong, who finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby before skipping the Preakness to conserve energy for the Belmont, drew the ninth post and was listed as the 6-1 second favorite.
Tonalist, making his first appearance in the Triple Crown series, was placed on the third line of betting at odds of 8-1 after drawing the outside gate in the 11-runner field.
Commanding Curve, runner up in the Kentucky Derby, drew gate four and was listed as a 15-1 chance while Ride On Curlin, who finished second in the Preakness, was given the fifth hole and rated a 12-1 shot.
"I feel good about my post," said Ride On Curlin's trainer Billy Gowan. "I thought all along this might be his best distance because he's got the pedigree to do it and he never really quits."
California Chrome's unlikely rags-to-riches tale has already endeared him to millions of Americans and his outspoken co-owner Steve Coburn said the enormity of what he might achieve was starting to sink in.
"It's all coming to the point, it's all coming to the top of the pyramid right now ... the Triple Crown pyramid," Coburn said.
"I wish every horse owner out there could have a horse like this because he's like, one in a bazillion. This horse could have been born to anyone, but he was born to us and we're very blessed.
"He's America's horse because we've got the entire country, if not the entire world, behind us."

2014 San Jacinto Day Festival and Battle Reenactment
History Comes Alive for Texas Natives and Wanna-Be-Texans Alike
Houston, TX — Booming cannons, cracking musket fire, thundering hooves and battle cries will resound across the San Jacinto Battleground on Saturday, April 26, 2014, as hundreds of history reenactors recreate the events leading up to Texas winning its independence at the decisive Battle of San Jacinto where General Sam Houston led his Texian soldiers to victory over the Mexican Army.
This dramatic battle reenactment is the centerpiece of the admission-free San Jacinto Day Festival, held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the 1,200-acre San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site in La Porte, surrounding the San Jacinto Monument. Sponsored by the San Jacinto Museum of History, Texas Parks & Wildlife and the San Jacinto Volunteers reenactors, the festival is a full day of music, entertainment, food, games and fun set amidst living history.
The festival and battle reenactment attract approximately 20,000-30,000 visitors to the site. Through corporate sponsorships such as Presenting Sponsor H-E-B and Major Sponsor Dow Chemical, the San Jacinto Museum of History Association is able to maintain this as an admission-free event, with free parking.
San Jacinto Day Festival and Battle Reenactment: Hundreds of reenactors arrive from across the state on Friday to set up their camps just like the Texians and Mexicans did back in 1836. On Saturday, visitors can wander freely among the Mexican and Texian camps of the reenactors to learn what the soldiers and their families were doing prior to the battle in 1836 as the reenactors become figures in history for the weekend. At 3 p.m., the official (and historically accurate!) reenactment of the Battle of San Jacinto begins; it is the largest in southwest United States.
"For the Texans, their victory at San Jacinto led to Texas' annexation into the United States," says Robert B. Hixon, Chairman of the Board, San Jacinto Museum. "In the end, the United States would gain not only Texas but also the lands which now make up the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Utah, including parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Nearly one million square miles of territory changed sovereignty. Because of the victory at San Jacinto, the United States became a bicoastal nation obtaining the natural resources needed to add to its powerful political and military presence in the world. Few battles in world history have been more decisive or had a greater influence on subsequent history."
The San Jacinto Monument is open all day, as it is nearly every day of the year. Visitors can ride the elevator to the top for a panoramic view of the festivities, explore the special exhibit, watch a Texas history movie and tour the hundreds of museum pieces on display. There are modest admission fees for the elevator ride, movie and special exhibit inside the Monument. For more information, the public may visit www.sanjacinto-museum.org and Facebook.

How Many Jews Are in the World Today?
Who is a Jew?
Counting Jews requires decisions about who is being counted, a direct function of whom we define as a Jew: biology, self-identity, or behavior. Biological Jews are individuals with a Jewish parent versus those Jews who practice Judaism, with or without having a Jewish mother or father. According to Reform Judaism and the patrilineal descent of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a Jewish father can define a Jew. According to Orthodox and Conservative Judaism and the tradition of hundreds of years, only a Jewish mother defines a Jew. Demographic surveys usually do not ask about grandparents, although Israel's law of return includes grandparent lineage.
Self-identity is how individuals think of who they are. Some people think of themselves as Jews regardless of their parents' religion. They may have Jewish heritage or Jewish peer groups.
Behavior is what people do. Behavioral Jews practice Judaism and live as Jews, with or without biological origins. This includes people who go to synagogue weekly, observe kashrut, and otherwise meet tests of behavioral Judaism.
If their parents were not Jewish or they did not formally convert to Judaism, we usually exclude them in our counts.
How Many Jews Are in the World Today?
Scholars have only a rough idea about how many Jews there are in the world today. Current sources report between 13,500,000 and 15,500,000, a variance of about 15%, as defined within very limited boundaries. The real number is probably much higher. Both locating Jews and convincing them to reveal their religious identity complicates and compromises our ability to estimate the number of Jews. These factors result in undercounting Jews around the world. If we consider all the issues that plague counting the Jewish populations around the world, we are probably missing millions of Jews in our official counts.
The snapshot of the worldwide geographic distribution of Jews today is dramatically different from what it was prior to World War II. Before the Holocaust, Europe was the center of the world's Jewish population, with relatively large populations also spread throughout North America, North Africa, and the Middle East. In spite of discrimination and harassment in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the world Jewish population showed a steady growth from 2.5 million in 1800 to 11 million in 1900. This growth continued from 1900 to 1938. Prior to the Holocaust that 11 million grew to 16.6 million. The majority of Jews continued to live in Europe with 9.5 million in 1938. North and South America had 5.5 million Jews. The number of Jews in Asia grew from 500,000 to one million between 1900 and 1938.
After much of European Jewry was murdered, almost one million Jews living in Muslim countries were forcibly expelled. They migrated to Israel, France and North America, resulting in two major population centers in the United States and Israel. Today, the United States and Israel together comprise about 75% of the total world's Jewish population.
Relatively low birth rates and some Jews leaving Judaism have resulted in a stagnant population today. Population loss and decline in most individual Jewish communities around the world is largely the result of migrations from one place to another overall stasis has developed. The Jewish population of the United States, for example, would be considerably smaller if not for the influx of Jews from the former Soviet Union, Iran, and elsewhere over the last 30 years. Similarly, much of the population growth in Germany has resulted from migration from the former Soviet Union, France from migrations from Northern Africa, and Israel from Jews all over the world.
At this point, there is a zero sum game of Jewish populations around the world exchanging populations. Destinations include a few select countries, primarily, the United States, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia. Aliyah to Israel continues, with growing numbers from North America, France, and from the former Soviet Union.
The Table of World Jewish Populations compiles data from three different sources: The World Jewish Congress, The American Jewish Yearbook, and Wikipedia. It provides an overview of the major Jewish communities around the world, but also exposes the limitations of collecting population data about Jews. For example, some countries are listed with "0" population, either because the source has no information or the researchers believe there are no Jews living there.
The World Jewish Congress reports that there are 25,000 Jews in Austria and The American Jewish Yearbook published by The American Jewish Committee estimates that there are 103,000, and Wikipedia 8,184, a variance of 1200%. Wikipedia claims there are 717,101 Jews in Russia, American Jewish Congress reports 450,000 and The American Jewish Yearbook lists 228,000, a variance more than 300%. The high and low estimates are all almost random.
These widely used sources that show the Jewish population estimates, country-by-country, do not agree on the size of some of the world's largest Jewish populations. None of these compilations is particularly more reliable than the other, and often draw their information from the same unscientific local sources. The data on Israel are the most accurate. Others, including the United States, France and the former Soviet Union are more problematic.
The largest Jewish population lives in the United States—somewhere between 6 and 7 million as estimated by the Institute for Jewish & Community Research in 2002. Over 5 million Jews live in Israel. France has somewhere between 600,000 and 750,000. Large Jewish populations can also be found in Russia, Great Britain, and Argentina.
As they have for thousands of years, Jews keep moving from place-to-place, country-to-country. A map of the geographic distribution of world Jewry is a snapshot in time, and twenty years later may look different again. What will the Jewish map look like in 2025? Will Jews be on the move again, and where?

My mom always insisted that my proclivity for injury was due to the intrinsic grace of my bones and joints—"elegant and delicate, like a bird!"—but a recent study in the June edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests something different is to blame: my brain.
From the University of Delaware News:
A torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is among an athlete's most-dreaded injuries, often requiring surgery and months of rehab, as has been the case with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. While being tackled in football or hurtling into an embankment on an icy ski course can tear this major knee ligament, most athletes actually "do themselves in"--they don't collide with a person or object, they end up injuring themselves when they land off-balance during a jump or run.Based on my personal experiences, the connection between sport-induced injury and distraction is not surprising. Both my wrist and my ACL/meniscus injuries (the latter being a simultaneous double-whammy) occurred while I wasn't particularly focused on the games. In both situations, I was slightly anxious because these were the only two soccer games my dad had attended since I was 10 (one in high school (wrist), one in college (knee)). Further, I was not involved in the plays that immediately preceded my injuries; it was precisely when ball unexpectedly approached, summoning my mildly reluctant participation, that my "delicate" limbs met with disaster.
"We had some data from previous research which suggested that these noncontact knee injuries occur when a person gets distracted or is 'caught off guard,'" Charles Buz Swanik, the UD assistant professor of health sciences who led the study, said. These awkward movements have the biomechanical appearance of a knee buckling, but can be reproduced safely in the lab to study how people mentally prepare and react to unanticipated events.
But Swanik believes these momentary lapses in attention are indicative of more extensive deficiencies.
"This made me wonder if we could measure whether these individuals had different mental characteristics that made them injury-prone," Swanik said.As Swanik writes in his report, "physical activity requires situational awareness of a broad attentional field to continuously monitor the surrounding environment, filter irrelevant information, and simultaneously execute complex motor programs. Increased arousal or anxiety changes an athlete's concentration, narrows their attentional field, and alters muscle activity, which has been associated with poor coordination and inferior performance."
To identify subjects for their study, the researchers administered neurocognitive tests to nearly 1,500 athletes at 18 universities during the preseason. This testing also provided baseline data for athletes who might sustain a concussion after the season started, Swanik said.
Visual memory, verbal memory, processing speed, and reaction time all were assessed.
In analyzing the data, the scientists found that the athletes who ended up with noncontact ACL injuries demonstrated significantly slower reaction time and processing speed and performed worse on visual and verbal memory tests when compared to the control group.
These conclusions remind me of one of David Foster Wallace's essays in Consider the Lobster, "How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart." Wallace devotes this essay to the devastating contrast between Tracy Austin's brilliance on the tennis court (both physical and mental) and her abominable ability to intellectualize her experiences in her memoir. He ultimately concludes that the vacuity and lack of insight of sports memoirs, such as hers, is inextricably linked to the qualities that lead to great athletes in the first place.
Their ability to maintain exceptional focus under the scrutiny of thousands of viewers (including their parents), makes them incapable of an appreciation of their athletic genius, and thus of significant insight into its nature. During games that are crucial to the careers to which they have been devoted since childhood, they manage to "invoke for themselves a cliché as trite as 'One ball at a time' or 'Gotta concentrate here,' and mean it and then do it." Meanwhile, if the rest of us were under such circumstances, we would founder and crumple and fail precisely because we think too much about matters that have nothing to do with the direction and velocity of the ball, or the appropriate bending of the knee during complicated, high-velocity movements.
As Wallace writes, "those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it—and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." (Their vastly superior speed, strength, and visual acuity probably isn't trivial).
Another major risk factor for ACL injuries is gender. Girls are four to eight times more likely to tear or rupture their ACLs than men, with female soccer and basketball players at the highest risk. There are a few theories as to why this gender difference exists: 1) bone alignment of the pelvis/femur/tibia create excess stress on the ACL; 2) female hormones relax ligaments, muscles and joints, making joints more flexible and prone to injury; 3) as girls pass through adolescence, their muscular control of the knee may not keep up with their skeletal growth.
To incorporate Swanik's conclusion with the gender discrepancy, female hormones can also result in concentration deficits, which may result in a sub-optimal state of arousal in a given athletic situation. In any case, this study has interesting implications for injury prevention. Not only should female athletes stop running like girls, but perhaps cognitive exercises that train processing speed and reaction time may also benefit the accident prone.

A. MS. notebook
A liberal education in a hundred lessons: fifty lessons devoted to the teaching of some small branch of knowledge. Of the remaining fifty lessons, thirty-six were to be devoted to logic. Lectures begin with a discussion of the different kinds of mathematics. Dichotonic and trichotonic mathematics. Logic of relatives. Incident involving Sylvester, who claimed that mathematical work shown him by CSP, who, in turn, suspected that his work reduced to Cayley's Theory of Matrices, was really nothing more than Sylvester's umbral notation. Later CSP discovers, with some satisfaction, that what Sylvester called "my umbral notation" had originally been published in 1693 by Leibniz. CSP's bitterness revealed in his remark that he can find a more comfortable way of ending his days, if nobody is interested in his efforts to gather together the scattered outcroppings of his work in logic for the purpose of a more systematic presentation of it.

Last Friday host Chestnut Hill College came within seconds of upsetting Bloomsburg University, a school almost 10 times its size, but with two seconds remaining visiting center Larry Webster tipped in the rebound of a teammate's jump shot, giving the Huskies an 87-86 non-conference win.
The CHC Griffins ended the old year with an overall record of 10-5 while remaining 3-0 within the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. Bloomsburg, already owners of a 5-1 mark within the Pa. State Athletic Conference, improved to 9-2 on the season.
The Huskies bolted out to a 9-2 lead in the game and forced a time-out by Chestnut Hill, which found itself down 16-6 a few minutes later. The Griffins finally got some traction when senior Brandon Williams lofted a three-pointer from the right corner and freshman Alssene Saintilus sank a free throw and a lay-up, erasing much of the deficit.
With 12:22 left in the first half CHC went ahead for the first time, with sophomore Jakeem Bogans feeding junior Mark DiRugeris for a fast break lay-up that made it 19-18. The two squads went neck-and-neck after that, arriving at a 40-40 tie as a time-out was called just before halftime. After the pause, Bogans banged in a trey with four seconds showing, granting the Griffins a 43-40 advantage at the interlude.
DiRugeris deposited seven points in the early stages of the second half. This helped preserve a modest lead for CHC, which was ahead 52-48 five minute into the new period. Quick strikes from three-point territory by Williams and freshman guard Luke Dickson widened the gap to 10 points, forcing the Huskies to huddle up in a time-out.
Bloomsburg was able to keep its deficit from getting completely out of control, but with the clock under four minutes the Griffins seemed to be in good shape, holding an 80-72 lead. The Huskies got closer with a pair of field goals. The second bucket came with a free throw attached, and although the foul shot missed, Nnamdi Njoku grabbed his teammate's miss and went back up to score.
A CHC turnover seconds later led to two made free throws for Bloomsburg, and to the dismay of the home crowd, the contest was now tied, 80-80, with 2:11 to play.
Chestnut Hill inched ahead, 84-82, but when Saintilus fouled out with 55 seconds left, Njoku converted one of two tosses from the line. Next, the Bloomsburg senior forced his way inside for a lay-up that moved the Huskies ahead, 85-84, then the Griffins regained the lead as Bogans culled both points from a one-and-one with 10 seconds left in the game.
From the right end of the foul line, Bloomsburg's Trevon Johnson (11 points total) launched what looked to be the final shot of the afternoon, but as the ball started to come out off of the rim, an airborne Webster tapped it back into the cylinder.
With a game-high 25 points, Donathe Jordan topped a list of five double-digit scorers for the Huskies, who received 14 points each from Njoku and Webster, and a dozen from Ed Hall.
Turnovers were even between the teams, and there actually was a 34-30 rebounding advantage for the Griffins, who had six players reach double figures in scoring. Guards DiRugeris and Williams (seven rebounds, seven assists) wound up with 19 and 15 points respectively, while senior forward Dan Comas contributed 13 points and matched Bloomsburg's Jordan for the game-high in rebounds, with 10.
Saintilus supplied 11 points for Chestnut Hill, which got 10 apiece from Bogans and Dickson.

California: Coverage Lifeline -- Help for People With Pre-Existing Conditions
June 22, 2010
Adapted from:
On July 1, the federal government will provide California $761 million to create a health insurance pool for residents with pre-existing health conditions, including HIV. The program will operate until January 2014: After then, health insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
Those with HIV may benefit under the subsidized insurance pool. Although HIV treatment helps many people live longer, healthier lives, many patients still cannot afford or access comprehensive health insurance except through employer-sponsored plans.

Nutritional PhD Opinion:
"To be completely honest – I think that you guys have the best multivitamin in the country. Seriously. I'm very critical about vitamin and mineral supplementation because of the research that I have read and that has been published on synthetic vitamins is very mixed (and some bad). But because you guys use whole food sources and not synthetics those concerns are out the window."

How Do You Know If Active Core Complex Is Right For You?
Ask Yourself: Are YOU Eating Your Fruits And Veggies Every Day?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the World Health Organization, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion agree – you should eat more fruits and vegetables.
Up to 10 total servings a day!
That's a LOT of food.
And besides having to eat all that food, maybe you don't love the taste of fruits, vegetables or greens...
Or you don't have time to shop 2-3 times a week to buy fresh fruits, vegetables and greens...
And don't get us started about preparing the food (washing, chopping, peeling, dicing, mincing, steaming, grilling, microwaving, broiling, and baking can be a real pain in the rear!)
If You Can't Beat Mother Nature, Join Her!
You shouldn't mess with Mother Nature.
Why try and fool the body with synthetic vitamin pills when you can easily provide your body with convenient concentrated nutrients from actual whole foods grown out of the earth? Not nutrients engineered in a lab.

Mixing Brake Parts for the BetterPosted in How To on May 1, 2000
Oh yeah, rear disc brakes are great. They decrease stopping distance. They work better in mud and water. And one other thing: Theyre useless if you still have drums on the front. Now, we could chastise you for owning a vehicle so old that it has front drums but the reality of it is that we like old trucks. Yep, even better than all the new funky widget this and antilock that. Were pretty confident that we can tell when the wheels are skidding without the need for a vibrating, spongy brake pedal and flashing ABS lights.
So how do you put discs on the front of this older iron? Our 71 Bronco had drums all the way around. The brakes worked as well as drums can, and water runs turned the pedal into a switch that merely lights up the brake lights. We called Wild Horses Four Wheel Drive to find out how to get some better stoppers on our steed. Among other early Bronco parts the company has a complete bolt-on kit to put discs on the front of drum brake Broncos. The kit will fit the Dana 30 and 44 frontends.
If you want to search for the parts yourself youll need spindles, brake hoses, caliper mounting brackets, and calipers from a 76 or earlier Chevy ½-ton. In the later years (post 76) there was a different spindle so the parts dont interchange. Youll also need a dozen 3/8x1½ fine thread bolts and lock washers, as well as hubs and rotors from a 76-79 Ford.
Interestingly, this disc swap will work on early Dodges too. The 69-74 drum brake trucks can use most of these parts, in addition to Chevy stubs for an easier, cheaper upgrade than using all Dodge parts. It even keeps the 5-on-5-½ bolt pattern. We took our Wild Horses kit and our unstoppable stallion to Extreme Automotive for the install. Extreme specializes in early Broncos and can do everything from supplying hard-to-find parts to complete frame-off restorations. Check out how Joe Monroe and Sam Suhr homogenize the Chevy parts into our Bronco.

- Might of the Frozen Wastes to 20% melee damage, up from 10%.
- Icy Talons increases attack speed by 30%, up from 20%.
- Blood Plague and Frost Fever damage +30%.
- Howling Blast damage to primary target +23%. Damage to secondary targets remains unchanged. Note: the tooltip for secondary damage says 0.5 but it has been 0.8 for some time.
- Scourge Strike damage +7.7%.
- We like our recent change to a lower cooldown on Avenging Wrath for Retribution in PvP. We like it so much that we want to make it a baseline change for Retribution and not a set bonus, since many PvE paladins are benefiting from shorter wings today, and our recent DPS testing suggests that Ret needs a DPS buff. However, this does mean changing the existing T14 4pc PvE bonus.
- Retribution has a two minute cooldown on Avenging Wrath baseline.
- We are reverting the PvP set bonus change. The Retribution set bonuses remain as they are on live. This line will no longer appear in patch notes.
- We are changing the T14 4pc PvE bonus to +10% damage on Seals and Judgment. We want you to graduate to the T15 set bonus fairly quickly and you won't be losing the shorter Avenging Wrath cooldown.
- Retribution damage was too low, but as I mentioned above, we buffed it through more frequent use of Avenging Wrath.
Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
- Shadowform increases damage by 25%, up from 20%.
- We have heard some concerns that Atonement damage is higher than intended, so we are checking that out, but no changes to announce yet.
We are going to make the new Divine Aegis undispellable.
- Mind Blast damage has been increased by 20%.
- Shamanism increases Lightning Bolt damage by 70%, up from 50%.
- Elemental Focus now increases spell damage by 15%, up from 10%.
- Aimed Shot damage +10%.
- Chimera Shot damage +50%.
- Steady Shot damage +20%.
- Black Arrow and Explosive Shot damage +15%.
- Hearing lots of concerns about Power Shot in PvP, so we may need a PvP-specific tweak there.
- Wrath damage have been increased by 9%.
- Balance
- Rip damage +15%.
- Reduced damage of Bloodthirst, Colossus Smash and Raging Blow by 10%.
- Yes this is a nerf in a sea of buffs, but the Bloodsurge and Arms Deep Wounds changes ended up being too much of a buff.
- Overpower now costs 10 rage and reduces Mortal Strike remaining cooldown by 0.5 seconds.
- Sudden Death now has a 25% chance to activate from Overpower instead of a 10% (was 20%) chance to activate from auto attacks or Opportunity Strike. In addition, using Execute makes Overpower free for 10 second
- Hand of Gul'dan, Shadowflame, Shadow Bolt, Touch of Chaos and Wild Imp Firebolt +15%.
- Soul Fire damage +22%.
- Conflagrate and Immolate damage +20%.
- Incinerate damage +10%.
- Frostbolt now deals 52% more damage, but its debuff no longer increases subsequent Frostbolt damage.

Day five of the Halloween storm disaster, and this is Mayor Jason McCoy's life: Generators at the sewer plant and water company are about to blow, the emergency shelter is almost full, two dozen streets are still blocked, and lines are down at more than 200 locations.
There have been more than 500 calls from residents about trees or wires in the road.
If there's no generator at the water plant, there's no water in homes. If the generator fails at the sewer plant, sewage will back up into houses, more than 90 percent of which were still without power Thursday afternoon.
On Thursday evening, the town council held an emergency session to approve a $420,000 appropriation from an emergency fund to help pay for the emergency.
But what's his biggest problem?
It's getting Connecticut Light & Power to answer his questions.
"They can't give you any answers to any questions,'' said McCoy, a lawyer who is leaving office to make a long-shot run for U.S. Senate. "We've got people trapped in neighborhoods. My biggest frustration is we are not able to do what we need to do."
It's not hard to understand McCoy's frustration. When I asked CL&P Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Butler about this problem at a press conference Thursday evening, he responded, "There have been issues."
Yes, we can all agree on that one.
In a town office on Thursday I listened as McCoy tried to explain to the town's liaison from CL&P that power for the water company is a bigger priority than finding electricity on Election Day. Meanwhile, a restaurant owner on Route 83 called in to complain that the power outage is bankrupting him.
This is the new reality for administrators such as McCoy in the towns hard hit by last Saturday's snowstorm. A politically ambitious and outspoken Republican, McCoy told me he can't believe the most basic needs of his community, like removing all downed trees and wires from blocked roads, aren't being met.
Before a tree that's resting on wires can by cut up and removed, a CL&P crew has to make sure the wires aren't live. McCoy said he's been unable to get CL&P to come to the streets that remain blocked.
I rode with McCoy and Fire Chief William Call out to the Merline Road neighborhood, where massive oak trees, entrangled in utility wires, barricaded the roads. I could see why a house fire could be a disaster.
"Here's a whole neighborhood where we can't get a firetruck or an ambulance through,'' Call said as McCoy added that this was one the two dozen locations that he said were a priority. Near Seneca and Irene drives we find homeowners cutting wood and the constant hum of generators. McCoy and Call worry that with the wires on lawns, streets and sidewalks, and sagging from poles, residents are no longer taking the danger seriously.
"We've been trapped in our house since Saturday," Suzanne Thrall told McCoy when we walked by her house. "We can't even get a contractor or an insurance adjuster up here."
"Every time I call CL&P I get different stories," Thrall tells McCoy. "We say we should be on a priority list because we are trapped. They say there is no priority list.''
We moved on and listened to complaints from other neighbors, all of them astonished that their streets were still blocked — not to mention their houses still dark — five days after a snowstorm everyone knew was coming.
On Thursday, Vernon's CL&P liaison told McCoy that she had expected repair trucks to be all over town by now, which made him laugh when he told me the story. It's a tale McCoy chose not to tell when he spoke to residents camped out at the town's middle school later in the day.
Over at the middle-school-turned-emergency-center, where 200 people are sleeping on cots and hundreds show up to eat, drink a cup of coffee or join a bingo game, McCoy stood on a table and told the crowd he didn't expect all power to be restored until a week from Sunday. That's seven days after CL&P's prediction of full restoration.
"The shelter will be open until we can get everything working,'' McCoy said. "We are trying to do the best we can for you."
Right now, that's nowhere near enough.
Day five of the Halloween storm disaster, and this is Mayor Jason McCoy's life: Generators at the sewer plant and water company are about to blow, the emergency shelter is almost full, two dozen streets are still blocked, and lines are down at more than 200 locations.

Adele to Perform at A-List Wedding
Adele performances have been rare since her throat surgery, but a certain famous couple is being graced with her powerhouse pipes at their wedding. Who comprises the lucky pair?
Actress Carey Mulligan and Mumford & Sons frontman Marcus Mumford!
A source told The Sun, "Carey and Marcus are both huge fans of Adele and there will be millions of couples jealous that she is singing for them. Adele has always wanted to work with Mumford & Sons so when Marcus asked her to play at his wedding she said yes," the source said. "It was meant to be a secret but the couple were so excited they've let it slip."
Having Adele perform at their wedding is a pretty huge deal, considering she reportedly refused an invitation to sing at the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton since she'd already RSVPed to a pal's barbecue. not only did she not sing for the queen, but she also turned down an offer from the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, to sing at the Super Bowl. We hope Mulligan and Mumford feel honored!

This past weekend, while visiting friends in Memphis, a buddy of mine recommended HBO's "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst" and had me watch the first episode.
I love Daredevil.
While the first five episodes of Netflix's "Daredevil" were certainly strong, the series definitely shifts into another gear on the back half of season one.
Sometimes, you just have to go for it. At least that's how 22-year-old Tiffani Hand feels about opening up her shop, Legacy Boutique, in Jacksboro.
Just last year, Acura's MDX midsize crossover entered its third generation, and as it returns for 2015, it continues to be one of the best offerings in the premium crossover segment.
Though she didn't realize it at the time, Addison Dower has been on the road to the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville since graduating from Campbell County High School in 2005.
Next month, LaFollette residents will vote on whether to approve sales of liquor by the drink within city limits.

In this video, you'll learn about the main character through its actions, and you will choose the order in which it will perform those actions.
First, look at the different actions the main character can do. The main character in each starter project has a unique set of actions it can perform in response to what the narrator says. In this example, when the main character receives the message "dance," it switches between two different costumes 10 times. This makes it look like it's dancing. Click on the code to watch this happen.
The main character's actions give you an idea of its personality. Is it quick to anger?
Happy-go-lucky? A courageous heroine or hero? Maybe it's just a having a bad day?
Now, develop the narrator's story about this character by writing the narrator's dialogue. Later, you'll use the main character's reactions to illustrate the narrator's story.
But, for this video, use the "say for 2 seconds" blocks you've used in previous days to make the narrator tell a story about the main character. The next video will show you how to program the narrator to send, or broadcast, messages to the main character.
Now, it's your turn: Program the narrator to tell a story about the main character. Use the specific character reactions included in the starter project you chose to guide what the narrator will say and develop the character in your story.
Test your code often, so you catch bugs along the way.

Hey Andy! Thanks for sharing such a great content about designing a site. I've some other problem,can you suggest some seo and design service which you highly recommend or do you offer this services??
We offer web design services, but we don't do SEO as a separate, service. It's really build in to our design process. But there are thousands of SEO companies. If you can, I recommend finding someone local that you can meet with regularly.
I was in such a hurry to edit my site nav that I forgot to thank you for this wonderful post :p
And to answer your question, I put my email with (at) instead of @ at the top of the sidebar – no number, though, since I don't see my target audience communicating with me across continents!
Thanks again.
Thank you for the pointers. Better designs are like simple gear shift patterns. Working sites that deliver quick, easy, fully. Yeah. Do that.
Very useful guide. And #3—Foghorns Leghorns in the dropdown—Ha! You have a knack for making learning humorous and entertaining. Thank you.
It's fun that you caught that. That was an 80's cartoon reference for our Gen X readers!
Really liked the article. One thing on examination: The drop down menu study cited was primarily focusing on drop downs for adding information – not drop down menus in general. Drop down menus may be annoying but if designed with the other best practices you mention, my bet is that feature will be the least of the issues. Mega-menus are equally annoying when they overwhelm the viewer with too many options.
Very helpful, thank you for this article
It's time to kill the 7 plus/minus 2 urban myth for menus. It applies when trying to recall the items, not when they're visually in front of them as they are in a menu.
Hi, what would you suggest instead of "Services" in the nav if a company has too many services for each to be a nav item but not enough services to have a mega drop down menu?

Some 1,500 cheering, raucous fans of Israeli world music can't be wrong.
That was the audience count at the Idan Raichel Project's performance at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto on March 18.
Raichel and his troupe were in town to play a charity concert in support of the Motek Cultural Initiative, a newly created non-profit aimed at bringing Israeli artists to North Americans to expose western audiences to all Israel has to offer.
Proceeds from the ticket sales went toward launching the venture, and Raichel said it was his privilege to kick off the project as a favour to his friend and the non-profit's founder, Ravid Dahan.
Speaking to Heebonics just before taking the stage, dressed in black with his trademark black headscarf concealing some of his long dreads, Raichel said he hoped his music could teach cultures how to live more peacefully with each other.
A wildly popular artist in the world music genre both in Israel and internationally, Raichel humbly noted that his band, while representative of Israel and proudly so, was not officially employed by the government to be a cultural ambassador for his country.
However, he said, it has been an honour for him to read international reviews of his albums and be defined as "the sound track of Israel for the past decade."
Raichel, who grew up in Kfar Saba near Tel Aviv, first burst onto the Israeli music scene in 2002.
"If people listen to the Idan Raichel Project, and what comes to their minds is the sound track of the streets of Tel Aviv, then we should… be goodwill and cultural ambassadors for our country," he said.
Raichel said he aspires to be to Israel what other iconic international artists have become to their countries.
"Edith Piaf for the French people, or Mercedes Sosa for Argentina, or the Buena Vista Social Club for Cubans. We would have the honour to be this for Israel," he said.
Asked how he felt about Israel's portrayal in the news as a conflict zone and whether that ever influences his compositions, Raichel said it was unfortunate that many people outside of Israel only know it as an actor in a volatile region.
"It's important that people learn more about [Israeli] culture and other aspects of our reality. What Ravid is doing here is a blessing.
"At the end of the day, all the Israeli artists coming [to Canada] are great artists," he said.
Raichel also pointed out that he has always felt welcomed in Canada wherever he's played.
Musically speaking, Raichel said he's at a point now in his writing where he feels much more comfortable and confident.
Growing up playing with musician-neighbours and with other Israeli artists helped form his style, but he said he is not a prolific writer because his music comes from an "intuitive" place, which takes time to form.
"I write when I have something to say. If I don't have anything to say, I don't write it. It's just a great privilege to be a recording artist who is just recording his life. It's a complementary process," Raichel said.
With that, he politely left to prepare for the March 18 show. And what a show it was.
From the mood-setting introduction of the band by a flautist playing Middle Eastern scales on digital delay under a canopy of violet lighting through to climactic numbers showcasing the Idan Raichel Project's breadth and width of musicianship and verve, it was a concert that imparted the spirit of multiculturalism, done the Israeli way.
The Israeli artist also managed to squeeze in a second performance the following day.
On March 19, Raichel played a set at York University.
He performed for students at the university to promote his message of peace and tolerance through music.
The York event was co-sponsored by the university and the Israeli consulate in Toronto.
Raichel's appearance at York was cause for numerous student campus groups to rally around and provide support to the Jewish and pro-Israel community at the university.
Campus groups supporting Raichel's performance at York last week included the Ahmadiyya Students Club, Ethiopian Students Association, Filipino Student Association, Greek Students Association, Hasbara Fellowships, Hillel at York, Latin American Students Association, Osgoode Campus Conservatives, Power to Change, Schulich Finance Association, Schulich Management Association and the York United Black Students Association.
Consulate spokesperson Natalie Weed said her office wished to highlight Raichel's desire "for people of all cultures to work together. We asked the students to support the concert as a symbol of multiculturalism and as a symbol of unity. York receives so much negative press, and the students want to see positive interaction between students from all different backgrounds and between the student groups."
