Thank you for this! I would have missed it. And yes, according to the on screen grid, and TV Guide it is on a 9 in Van
Well, that was depressing. Why would anyone want to put their kid in figure skating?
I told Japanfan about it as we happened to be speaking on the phone this evening. She said she was going to watch it. I haven't watched it yet, just recorded it. I'll watch it later.
Darn, I missed it. I even saw it on the tv guide but had no idea it had anything to do with figure skating.
In short, his Russian parents came to Canada. He leaves the family when Andrei was young (on the wife's birthday!). She has to raise Andrei by herself (although his dad does help--kind of). They are in huge debt trying to pay for his skating. He's your typical teenager--ungrateful and moody. He skips school, mouths off at his coaches, misses practices, and skates through the music. He doesn't seem to enjoy skating. The mother seems depressed. It ends with a bad performance from some monitoring competition in Alberta. They do mention as a postcript some junior grand prix competition he won, but this was before his big Jr Worlds victory.
All in all, just sad.
Great synopsis. And yes, sad. But hopeful that his big Jr worlds win will turn things around for them, even if he didn't do so well at (senior) Nationals.
- His mother (Olga) made a few comments about winning being the most important thing. She suggested it was the only way they could earn financial support and enable Andrei to keep skating.
- I think the comp they showed in Alberta was probably Wild Rose. They made a big deal out of the fact he didn't land (or event attempt?) either of his 3 axels there. At the very end of the show, they made a big deal of him landing his 3A at a different competition (Nationals?).
- Petra Burka, Mike Slipchuk, Louis Stong, Holly Henderson, and someone whose name is escaping me, were interviewed throughout.
They definitely focused on a lot of the negative aspects of skating. It was quite the downer. I haven't been following singles closely the past few years, so hadn't heard of Rogozine before this aired. When I looked him up on the net and discovered he'd won Jr Worlds, I kept hoping they'd mention that in the broadcast to give it at least ONE positive aspect. This must have been in the can before JW, I guess.
Was this a publicity stunt on their part or something? I can't think of any other reason why they would want negative stuff aired about Andrei/their family.
I too found it sad. Although I appreciated the sincerity of Andrei and his parents in interviews, their situation just came across as sad. Especially his mom working so hard and going into debt, struggling as a single mom. I could easily see her laying a "what I do for you" guilt trip on Andrei - though I don't mean that as a criticism, she seemed like a kind woman and sure didn't get a whole lot of support from Andrei's dad. And I can understand why she did what she did, having immigrated to a country thought to be a land of opportunity and having a very talented son.
The dad came across as a bit harsh to me and I didn't like the military-minded coach either.
And I found it hard to like Andrei, as well. He came across as a really difficult kid with an attitude problem, though it is not surprising. His skipping school was a sign of problems - 54% in English is not good. He's most likely insecure and has too much invested in winning/becoming an Olympian without the proper support system in place.
Ultimately the documentary led me to feel sorry for the family and sorry for Andrei. It was more accurately a profile of a champion not in the making and of a family that would have been better off if they hadn't chosen to continue to keep their child in the sport.
Unfortunately Andrei is probably not going to make the 2014 team - if Patrick Chan stays in that is one spot taken and there is plenty of competition for the second and (maybe third) spot: Nam, Gosselin, and Balde, to name just a few.
Although some do beat the odds, so I wish him the best.
Does anyone know where I can find this documentary?

CHICAGO (AP) - Viktor Stalberg scored at 2:18 of overtime and Patrick Kane had two goals and an assist in regulation to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Nashville Predators 5-4 on Monday night.
Stalberg rushed down the right wing on a 3-on-2 break, but pulled up with a move that made Nashville defenseman Jack Hillen turn the wrong way. Stalberg then fired a shot past Pekke Rinne for his third goal in two games.
Nick Leddy and Bryan Bickell also scored for the Blackhawks (7-2-2), who got three assists from Marian Hossa.
Patric Hornqvist scored twice and Craig Smith and Dave Legwand also connected for the Predators (5-5-1).
Chicago's Duncan Keith, the 2010 Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's top defenseman, left the game in the second period with an upper-body injury and didn't return.

The Tangent Function: Opposite over Adjacent
The trig function, tangent, is abbreviated tan. This function uses just the measures of the two legs and doesn't use the hypotenuse at all. The tangent is described with this ratio:
No restriction or rule on the respective sizes of these sides exists — the opposite side can be larger, or the adjacent side can be larger. So the tangent ratio produces numbers that are very large, very small, and everything in between. If you look at the following below,
you see that the tangents are
And in case you're wondering whether the two tangents of the acute angles are always reciprocals (flips) of one another, the answer is yes.
The following example shows you how to find the values of the tangent for each of the acute angles in a right triangle where the hypotenuse is 25 inches and one leg is 7 inches.
Find the measure of the missing leg.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, putting in 7 for a and 25 for c, and solving for the missing value, b, you find that the unknown length is 24 inches:
Select names for the acute angles in order to determine the opposite and adjacent designations.
The easiest way to do this is to draw a picture and label it — take a look at the below figure.
The two acute angles are named with the Greek letters and . The side opposite measures 7 inches, and the side adjacent to it measures 24 inches. For angle , the opposite side measures 24 inches, and the adjacent side measures 7 inches.
Form the two tangent ratios by using the values 7, 24, and 25.

ORANGEBURG — Henry wasn't expected to live past age 5.
Born with the medical condition called hydrocephalus, also referred to as "water on the brain," he has lived for the last two decades with an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cavities of his brain.
Now 23, Henry Guion astonished many by receiving a bachelor's degree in communications during commencement exercises recently at South Carolina State University.
Guion first learned of his medical condition in the third grade when his shunt backed up with fluid and was in need of replacement.
With his grades plummeting due to numerous procedures, he said his mother Stephanie Brown-Guion reminded him how important it was to study.
Making sure he had no excuses, Guion put a plan of action in place.
After the doctors told his parents there was a 50/50 chance he would die before age 12, Guion resolved to graduate high school and become a cross country runner.
The honor graduate joined more than 200 students and their families during the university's fall Commencement Convocation in the Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center.
For Guion, there were times growing up when he felt really down, but he said, "I would always question why I couldn't be like this person. I matured in college and came into my own."
The Charleston native served as the university's mascot, Spike the Bulldog.
A member of Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society, Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges, Cheer Squad Psi, cheerleading fraternity, Delta Phi Delta dance fraternity, Guion said the outgoing man people see today was not always so.
He admits he often struggled with "finding myself."
For that reason he wants to further develop his talents to affect the lives of inner-city youth.
Guion attributes his academic success at the university to the "great relationship with professors such as Delores Anderson, Tedro Rouse, Dr. Sherral Brown-Guyinyard and Gil Harris."
Guion plans to attend Coker College in January and major in dance with a concentration in performance/choreography.
As a professional choreographer, he feels he can "make a great impact on a lot of people through dance. I want to bring dance to the inner-city youth so that children can have a positive outlet other than running in the streets.
"I've been told that I would not live," Guion said. "Well, I've clearly made it beyond what doctors thought was possible, so I know I'll make it past the age of 30 unless God calls me home."

Community Advisors (CAs) play a huge role in assisting students with their adjustment to life at Colby. Their aim in the residence halls is to build cohesive communities where students feel safe and included. CAs are available for students who need a person to go to about any issue they may be having, whether it be in their personal or academic lives, and are able to direct students to the appropriate services around campus.
Below is a list of the Colby CAs and where they are placed for the upcoming year! The number of CAs per residence hall is a reflection o the number of students who live in each hall.
guys! I'm Jamie Suzuki and I am a sophomore from Jackson, NJ. Next year I'll be
living on the 2nd floor of Sturtevant! I'm a Chemistry and Theatre & Dance
double major and a Mathematics minor. Which means I spend most of my time in
the lab or in the studio and I love every second of it! On campus I'm on the
Colby dance team, Hipnotik. This whole summer I've been hanging out at Colby
doing some chemistry research, climbing some mountains and having so much fun!
Can't wait to meet everyone
Hey! I'm Charlie Frank, and I am a Junior
Chemistry-Biochemistry major from Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. I am a returning
Community Advisor and will be on the second floor of Williams this year. I am
also one of the Directors of Colby EMS. I love being outside, and try to ski or
roam around campus with friends whenever possible. I am really excited to meet
all of you; it's going to be an awesome year!
Hello! My name is Hank Lanphier, and I am excited to be one
of the two CAs in the Taylor dorm. I am a senior returning for my third year on
Hall Staff. I started as a bio major, but now I'm a double major in Classical
Civilization and History. Kinda a big switch, I know. I'm also running the Historical European
Martial Arts group (soon to be a full club I hope!) as part of my attempts to
do some hands on learning. In my spare time, I like to hang out, play video
games, and blacksmith. I am looking forward to meeting all of the new Taylor
residents, and my door will always be open if anyone needs advice, help, or
just wants to talk.
Hi! I'm Amanda Carbonneau from Hokinton, MA and I will be
living in West Quad (BEST QUAD!) next year.
I am a psych:neuro major with a minor in education. At Colby I enjoy riding with the Colby
Equestrian team and hanging out with kids at the South End Teen Center in
Waterville. In my free time I like to
run, practice birdcalls, ride my horse, and drink ice coffee. I can't wait to meet you all and I'm pumped
for another great year at Colb City!
Hey there, my name's Luke Martin and
I'm the CA in Leonard. I am a sophmore from Cape Cod, Mass and am
majoring in English and Music. I play guitar for the jazz band and am on
the tennis team. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and starting
another year at Colby! Let's see, things I enjoy... playing guitar (always
down to jam...), having nerf gun wars, playing ping pong, Spongebob...
Yup. Come by whenever, my door is always open!
Well hello there attractive people.
My name's Chelsea Tyler and I'm a junior English major/Cinema Studies minor
from Colby's backyard, Oakland, Maine. If I had to sum up my interests in three
words, they'd have to be: ponies, desserts, and puzzles. I'm so stoked to be
the CA of Marriner this school year and create some sweet hillside events so
GET EXCITED. Feel free to come visit me in Marriner anytime for some good
movies and terrible jokes.
Oh heeeyy! I'm Annalyse Tamashiro and
I'll be living on the 1st floor of Mitchell (come visit any time!). I was born
and raised in Hawaii, but I absolutely love Maine and cold weather. I'm a
senior psychology major, fencer, and member of Colby Dancers. I adore big
hugs, bad puns, sarcasm, and silliness. I hope you're all as pumped for this
year as I am!
Hi, I'm Pasquale Eckert, and I'm a junior at Colby. I
come from Harvard, Mass, a small town with way more apple trees than people.
I love Maine, from the colors in the fall to the thunder-snow in the
winter. For activities, I'm primarily a skier and a golfer but I love to
play all sports and don't mind relaxing afterwards with some Halo. My
freshman year, I studied abroad in France during the fall semester and had a
blast. I'm a Biology major and I'm considering adding on an Art major as
well. Stop by my room anytime on the third floor of Anthony.
I'm Sam, I'm from the Bay Area, and I'm a
senior. I've been a CA in Foss and Johnson, and I'm super excited to
finish off my third year of hall staff as an ARD in Anthony this year! I
love being a CA, but I also dabble in some other areas like playing on
Colby's soccer team and cracking funny (sometimes not funny) jokes as
a member of Colby Improv. I can't wait to meet all of you--feel free to
stop by Anthony 290 any time!
Hey! I'm Jonathan Kalin, hailing
from the best state in the country—dirty jerz! Home of Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce
Springsteen, Lauryn Hill, and your CA if you are lucky enough to be living in
the basement of East Quad. I'm majoring in Economics and Philosophy. I am also
currently minoring in Chinese, which is the reason I spent my summer in
Shanghai! When it's not study time, you can find me any where from the
basketball court to the stage, from breaking it down at the school dances to
singing in the Chapel. Other important things to know about me are: I have two
dogs and two cats, I find celery somewhat irrelevant, and Thomas the Tank
Engine was my favorite childhood TV series.
Hey everyone! I'm Sydney Graetz (or Syd if you're into
nicknames), and I'm a sophomore from Milford, Connecticut. I couldn't be more excited
to be a CA on the first floor of East Quad next year, WOOHOO! I love baking, eating,
and summertime. Clearly I'm big on food, so you can expect a good amount of
that next year. I also have an identical twin sister who goes to Yale; so if at
some point you see two of me walking around campus don't be alarmed. I can't
wait for another awesome year at Colby and to meet all of you!
name is Chris Greenlee and I am entering my Sophmore year here at Colby. I had so much fun this past year at college
that I decided I wanted to be a CA! At
Colby I run track and cross country and have a slight obsession with iPlay
broomball. I am pretty much all about
being outdoors and having a good time so get ready
Hello everyone! My name is Karen Abbas, I will be one of the
happy community advisors in Averill this year! I am really excited to get to
meet you all and possibly have impromptu Broadway productions in the lounge. I
live in New York City and my parents are from two completely different sides of
the globe, but I will let you guess and see if you can figure out where. I am
an anthropology major because I love people and different cultures but I also
like studying about human rights issues and seeing if there is any way I can
help out even from so far away. While I am a city girl, I have learned so
much at Colby about how to widen my horizons. I am a member of the equestrian
team, am on the leadership team for Colby Christian Fellowship and just got
back from a semester abroad in Spain, so if you want to join any of those or
have questions feel free to ask. I also love to sing and just be a little loud
sometimes, just not during quiet hours! I hope we can all have a lot of fun
this year and learn to grow together as a community. I really want to be there
for my community so just remember that I will be there for you guys. Even if
you do not live in Averill and you need someone to talk to just come on over
and I will listen and try my best to help. So if you see me just remember that
I want to see you smile!
Hey everyone! I'm Tim Badmington and, in
addition to being a sophomore psych major I'll be the best 3rd-floor
Averill CA in all of Colby. I'm from a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, but am a
New Englander at heart. In no particular order, my life priorities are as
follows: wiffleball, burritos, free t-shirts, and Helvetica Bold. I play rugby
at Colby and pretend like I dabble in other extracurriculars as well. The past
few summers I've made a luxurious living stocking Canada Dry products at every
grocery store (literally) in central Maryland. It should be noted that I'm
indifferent to long walks on the beach. I can't wait to meet you all, but if
you want to get a head start, follow me on Twitter @AnquaRell (I'll follow
I'm Adam Spierer and I am a
junior from Bedford, NH. This year I will be living on the second floor of
Coburn. At Colby, I am a Bio-Chem major and I am a member of the Swim Team,
Water Polo Club, and the Writers' Center. This past summer, I lead a leadership
training program through Israel for five weeks and then a two week bit back in
America for a two week intensive bit on being a counselor at overnight camp. In
my free time I will most likely be found eating, burning off sugar, doing the
unexpected, or sleeping...it all depends on where you catch me in my cycle. I
can't wait to kick off the year and bring Colby back to life
Hi! I'm Camille Gross, and I'll be a CA on the third floor
of Coburn (aka epicness)! I'm a sophomore Music major/Education minor from
Charlotte, North Carolina, which means I spend most of my time singing or
talking about how I'm from the south. I lived in quiet housing last year as a
freshman, and it was excellent; I'm really excited to be back! I'm also
involved in CCAK and Chorale, and I'm a leader in the Colby Christian
Fellowship. I am a great proponent of going to bed/getting up early. And
lastly, I have four really amazing, intelligent, and good-looking siblings, and
I get super lonely living without them, so come visit me!!!
Hi! My name is Kate Connolly and I'll be a CA on the third
floor of Mary Low! I am a rising sophomore from Needham, Massachusetts
(literally 20 minutes outside of Boston). Currently, I am a history major and a
math minor (subject to change) and I run three seasons at Colby! In my free
time, I love long walks on the beach, sunsets, and poking dead things with a
stick!...umm okay not really but that's what my favorite bumper sticker says!
In reality, I'm a sports fanatic, I love to bake, collect bumper stickers, play
word games, listen to music, and go on adventures!!! Also my favorite use of
punctuation is the exclamation mark!
I can't wait to meet all of you!
Chris Henderson and I'm going to be living on the second floor of Mary Low this
year, except during midterms and finals, when I live in the library. I'm from
the D.C. area, so I'll be lucky if one of our sports teams wins a championship
in the next couple of decades. At Colby I'm a Government/History major and a
member of the Cross Country and Track teams. I enjoy running, playing/watching
soccer (go Gunners!), reading, and listening to dubstep. When I'm not running,
I can usually be found honing my ping pong skills in the basement of Pierce.
Feel free to ask me
Hi friends! My name is Holly and I'm a proud member of
Colby's class of 2013 (this year's junior class). This is my second year on
hall staff and I am very excited to be back. In real life I'm from Milton, MA,
but on campus I live on the second floor of Foss. I enjoy baking, princesses
and other such pleasantries, and am an avid follower of Boston sports. Looking
forward to a great year!
major he isn't that
good at and one that offers few job offers and is contemplating majoring in
Trophy Husbandship. He is a member of the Colby Eight, Colby's oldest all male
A Cappella Group. Off the Hill Stephen spends his summers at Camp Agawam as
their head of Sailing. Stephen also enjoys spending his winters on the slopes
of Sugar Loaf where he can be found skiing bumps, powder, and chasing ski
bunnies. He would like to interject that if anyone ever has an extra spot in
their car they will be justly compensated for gas and will forever be held in
his list of favorite people. Finally Stephen is extremely excited for his first
year as a CA and can't wait to be back on the Hill.
Hi everyone! My name is Taylor Horan, and I'm from Medfield,
MA. I'll be a senior this year, and I can't believe I only have one more year
left at Colby. Hopefully you'll fall in love with the school as much as I have!
I'm a psychology major and an education minor, as well as a First Semester Away
student (I did my first semester abroad freshmen year in Dijon, France), a
Colby Cares About Kids mentor, and an Admissions tour guide. I love running,
participating in Colby events, and enjoying relaxing afternoons by Johnson Pond
or on the quad in front of Miller. I'm living in Foss this year as one of the
ARDs. Feel free to stop by whenever, and we can go eat a delicious meal
downstairs in the best dining hall on campus! Can't wait to get to know you
My name is Amanda O'Malley and I am really looking forward
to being one of the CAs in Woodman. I'm a sophomore and majoring in
International Studies and Economics. Some of my hobbies include eating,
painting, and frolicking in the meadows. My favorite food is steak and
Chinese noodles, and I can lick my elbow. I love meeting new people and am
really looking forward to hanging out with my Woodman residents!
Hi! My name's Esther, I'm a Junior
and one of the three CA's in Woodman this fall. I'm an English and History
double major from Brussels, Belgium, that magical land of waffles and chocolate
across the pond. I love lazy afternoons at Jorgensen's, spending time in the
great outdoors and hunting for treasure in Waterville's many thrift stores. I'm
psyched to be back on Hall Staff this semester and can't wait to meet you all!
Hi! My name is Celeste Lattanzi and
I'm a rising sophomore majoring in Child Development. After living in
California my whole life I decided to come to Colby and check out Maine
winters. I love skiing, sledding, and frolicking in the snow, and when
it's not freezing out (and sometimes when it is) I love to run, cook, play
soccer, and watch cheesy movies. I'll be living in the basement of Woodman next
year so stop on by!
My name is Emma, although I also go
by the more popular nickname: schmemms. I will be the CA on Dana first floor,
and I am thrilled to be there for all the fun, excitement, and inevitable
shenanigans! I am a Gov. and GS double major but would eventually like to
reveal my true identity as Captain Planet. On the side I chill with my guitar,
play for Colby's club ultimate frisbee
team, and sing a cappella in the Sirens. Get ready to rock out on Dana Beach!
Greetings from a summer spent in the
fast-paced cities of China, and high-reaching peaks of the Rocky Mountains, and
the rains of Guatemala! My name is Ellicott (it rhymes with
delicate--let's just get that over with early) and I'll be living on the 2nd
floor of Dana this fall. At Colby, you can usually find me in
Foss, the Outing Club Office, Diamond or Lovejoy (I'm a Latin
American Studies and Anthropology double-major), the Office of Campus Life, or
out on the trails in the arboretum and on Runnals Hill. I love being
outside and spending time with friends at meals that last way too long.
I'm very excited to live in Dana, where I hope to see open doors and
smiley people.My advice to incoming first-years? Bring your
personality--we're going to love it! See you up on the Hill!
everybody, My name's Alex Baier and I can't wait to meet you all! Fun facts
about me; I'm a sophomore this year, I'm living in Dana (second floor), I'm a
Psych major with a concentration in Neuroscience and a Chem minor, and I like
to sail/swim/hike/run/read. Feel free to stop by anytime to get to know me.
Hey everyone, and welcome to Colby! I'm Jason
Ottomano and I'm from Connecticut, affectionately known as "the CT." Here on
the Hill I play tennis for the Mules, and have been described by those who know
me as "mediocre at best." Classic rock is great, but Country music is where
it's at these days. If you hear Brad Paisley or T-Swift bumpin' down the halls,
chances are it's coming from my room. What else should you know about me? Well,
I have two national championships to my name, both in the sport of Platform, or
Paddle Tennis. Don't know what that is? You're not alone. Stop by some time and
I'll tell you about it. That's what we call an ice-breaker right there. One
last thing: For those of you who have yet to realize this, living in Dana also
means living above a dining hall. SCORE. Again, welcome to Colby, and we'll see
you soon!
My name is Jaclyn, and I am excited to be the Community Advisor in Johnson this
year! I'm a senior biology major and education minor from Dover, New Hampshire.
I enjoy baking, swimming, arts and crafts projects, and traveling and
exploring new places. Most recently, I was able to spend the summer in
Saratoga Springs, New York, where I worked with little geniuses at a
"smart camp" and came to love the city of Saratoga. Still, I'm a
proud New Englander, and I will always root for the Celtics and the Red Sox. I
look forward to meeting you!
Sup Dudes and Lady Dudes (Dudettes)! My name is Randy Person
and I'll be living in Johnson on the 3rd Floor along with The Dopest CO in DA
LEAGUE, Jaclyn Johnson. I am originally from New York City but have lived in LA for
the past 10 years. I am decently chill but can also be a little out there and
ridiculous—isn't everyone? I really like sports and just doing stuff. I am currently in
the process of starting dread locs, so hopefully when I see you in the fall I'll have some
sick Bob Marley flow…or at least Ricky Williams in his college days! (eww)
Hello future Go-Ho residents! My name is Gabriela Wyatt and
I am a History major with a minor in math and I will be your CA for the fall
semester! I hail from Princeton, New Jersey and my hobbies range from reading,
to hiking, to cooking. I spent this past summer lounging around at home,
scooping ice cream and making spread sheets (thrilling, I know) so therefore, I
am PUMPED to return to Colby. I will be going abroad in the spring (hopefully)
so I will only get to spend one semester with you guys, but I know it will be
great! I can't wait to meet all of you!
Hello everyone! My name is
Mackenzie Milne and I am a sophomore here at Colby, majoring in Biology with
biochem concentration and minoring in Theater and Dance. I love sunny days,
science labs, and munching late into the night at the spa! I can't wait to meet
all the new Colbyers-especially the AWESOME Grossman residents-and have a blast
this year! My door is always open, so please feel free to stop by anytime!
Hi there!
My name is John Christopher Franklin Crabbe, but most people call me Chris or
Chriscrabbe (please note the absence of a pause in between). Some of my
favorite things include: mint chocolate chip ice cream, China, llamas,
Jorgensons, the annual a cappella sampler, George Foreman grills, the
Waterville farmers' market, and making birthday cards (just ask the former
Leonardites). I am SUPER excited to let you know that I'll be the ARD for Bob's
Row this year. So don't be shy; come visit me on Grossman third floor, even if
it's just to say "Hi!".
Hiya! My name is Shamika Murray and I am a sophomore from the city of brotherly love aka Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I'm currently a psychology major with a concentration in neuroscience but I have been known to change to mind. I'm excited to be on hall staff for the first time this year on the second floor of Pi-Wi (Perkins-Wilson). When I'm not too busy chocking down a cheesesteak, I love trying new things and I'm obsessed with Disney
princesses. If I'm not in class or in the best dorm on campus (Pe-Wi) you can always catch me in the Pugh center. See you in the fall!
My name is Stan Abrams and I'm a senior from Lexington, MA. Pierce is where
I'll be, so don't be afraid to come find me. I'm studying the Classics (like
ancient Greek and Latin), but I'm also involved in the sciences in the hopes of
going to med school. Frankly, I'm interested in just about everything, but on
campus I'm most noticeable as a part of the Goldfarb Center, as a member of an a
cappella group, and as a CA (duh!). I like being outside and I'm a big fan of
skiing. So when it comes time, whether you've grown up on a mountain or have
never been before, hit me up! Or if you'd rather, let's grab a meal, go for a
run, or just play video games. Adventures are always fun. I'm super excited to
be spending my last year at Colby living on the row, so be sure to bring your
A-game and we'll have an awesome time!
Hi hi hi! My name is
Melanie Brown, and I'm going to be living in the new and improved Treworgy this
year! I'm a junior English and Psych double major from Denver, Colorado,
which I would love to show you pictures of sometime because it's really pretty.
I have them in my wallet sometimes, much like a grandmother. Also like
a grandmother, I love babies, cashews, Scrabble, yelling at cats, Werther's
originals, Will O'Brien, and hot tea. Unlike a grandmother, I love the
Decemberists, running, poetry, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter night in
Foss, diving into snowbanks, and building forts. I'll probably bake you
something if you visit. We can have tea too. It'll be sweet!
I can't wait.
What's up everyone I'm Brandan Rivard
from Manchvegas, New Hampshire. I'll be the heights first floor CA and am
looking forward to chilling with everyone living in the dorm. On the hill I'm
on the Colby Men's Soccer Team and spent way too much time doing a bunch of
other clubs and being an iPlay hero. After turning down Yale and Harvard
because they weren't bro enough, I'm studying at Colby as an Econ major with a
minor in getting rich and should be the talk of Wall Street any day now.
Hey! I'm Omari George Franco
Matthew! And I'm your CA for Heights. I'm from the infamous New York City and
I'm part of the Colby Posse 9 (A leadership organization who gave me the
scholarship to come to this amazing college). My major is Biology with a
Concentration in Ecology and Evolution, and my minor is Japanese. Aside from academics,
I'm part of the Colby Taiko Club and SOBHU (Students Organized for Black and
Hispanic Unity), and I hope to be making a club of my own someday! Aside from
anything Colby related, I love to cook, listen to music (preferably Acid Jazz
and Classic Rock), play music (preferably on my Bass Guitar or Harmonica), and
sleep (preferably on my bed NY). I'm not as physically active as I should be,
but, to make up for it, I'm unbeatable in most videogames and amazing with
technology. Even though I'm so in touch with hard metallic technology, I have a
softer side. I love chick flicks, romantic movies, British T.V. shows, Japanese
animation, long walks on the beach, and animals. I don't think I can describe
myself anymore than this, but, if you're positive there is more to me, don't be
afraid to start some conversation! (I know I won't)
Hello! My name is Emily and I am
very excited to be a CA in Heights this year! Among my many likes are
peppermint ice cream, the beach (convenient, since I live in Miami), and
Chipotle. Anyone who wants to go on a Dairy Cone adventure, or simply hang out,
should definitely come find me. I am looking forward to meeting all the awesome
residents of Heights this year, seeing as Heights is the best dorm on campus!

Why CMC?
Headed to college soon? Time to decide which schools to apply to, and how they'll each get you where you want to go in life? We understand. In fact, over the summer, we Admission Counselors discovered that one of the most frequently asked questions we get wasn't fully addressed on our website: Why (choose) CMC?
While we offer loads of information about applying and visiting, and do a pretty good job of promoting student and academic life and achievements with freshly posted news stories, we knew we needed something more. We needed something that addressed The Question–– the Why CMC question. So we've done it, and may we say, Welcome to a new portal!
We created Why.CMC.edu as a catch-all—a one-stop shop for updates from around the College, for student perspectives in blogs, for updates and messages from Facebook and Twitter, for links to relevant videos and pictures, and even for information about our college rankings.
As you may know, CMC was founded as a college that joined the liberal arts world with the real world. So instead of just talking about how great we are, why not show you, here, why CMC is consistently recognized as one of the best colleges in the United States?

The Duncan Banner
DUNCAN — Mitch Boles, a former golfer at the University of Central Oklahoma, posted a two-day score of even par 144 to win the 2013 club championship at The Territory Sunday.
It is the third time for him to win the title. The 28-year-old ex-Marlow High star, won previously in 2010 and 2012.
"It is kind of cool to have your name on the trophy, "Boles said, admitting he hasn't played much competitive golf recently because of work and church activities. "It was fun just playing with the guys and having a good time."
Boles shot a two-under 70 from the par 72, 7,110 yard black tees during Saturday's first round, then followed that with a 74 Sunday. The 144 enabled him to beat runner-up Jimmy Grantham by nine strokes.
"I got off to a good start and played well yesterday," he said, "but I didn't have my best stuff today. It wasn't anything special. I was playing okay, but I triple bogeyed No. 16 (Branding Iron, par four, 435 yards) and that made a difference."
Following a stellar college career at UCO, Boles played one year (2009-10) on the Adams Golf Pro Tour Series, competing in tournaments in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Louisiana, leaving the tour to assume a position at Wilco Manufacturing and Fab.
Grantham had rounds of 78-75—153 for second place. Albert Johnson finished third at 154 while Todd Holland and Dan Payton tied for fourth at 160
Ryan Scott posted Sunday's best round of 73 en route to winning low gross honors in the President's Flight with a 155, six shots ahead of runner-up Kris Boles, who closed at 161. E.J. Buckholts had a 144 for low net.
Billy Beeson took first in the Governor's Flight with a two-day 169. Gary Wright was second at 173 and Chris Graham claimed low net honors with a 150.

MARTIN CHALIFOUR began his tenure as Principal Concertmaster of the LA Philharmonic in 1995. The recipient of various grants and awards in his native Canada, he graduated with honors from the Montreal Conservatory at the age of 18 and then moved to Philadelphia to pursue studies at the Curtis Institute of Music. In 1986 Chalifour received a Certificate of Honor at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow; he was a laureate of the Montreal International Competition the following year.

and told you we would make a Spotify playlist. You told us what you thought the lyrics were and then what they actually are.
Not only is this a great playlist, but once you hear the mixed-up lyrics, you'll swear that's what the lyrics actually are.
Take a listen and look at what YOU thought the lyrics were below.
"Love Potion #9," The Searchers: I always heard "you know the gypsy with the gold capped tooth" as the gypsy with the gold tattoo.
"Groovin'," The Young Rascals: I thought "you and me endlessly" was you and me and Leslie. (thought maybe Leslie was their kid).
"Don't Stop the Music," Rihanna: When she repeats a line over and over, I could clearly hear her saying "Gonna stand on the side of Microsoft."

"You Shook Me All Night Long," AC/DC: She was a fax machine, she kept her modem clean.

"Iris," Goo Goo Dolls: 'Iris' has the lyric: "When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive" which for years I misheard to be "And You're Pleased Just To Know Every Line."
"That's the Way the World Goes Round," John Prine: "It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown."

"Life in the Fast Lane," Eagles: "Life in the vasoline."
"Yankee Doodle," Children Music Unlimited: When my youngest daughter Megan was REALLY young, she thought the chorus to "Yankee Doodle" ended with the words, "and with the girls EAT CANDY" instead of "and with the girls BE HANDY."

"Long Train Running," Doobie Brothers: "You know I saw THIS MOOSE down along the tracks."

Dibner Hall of the History of Science
Exhibition Overview
"Beautiful Science: Ideas that Changed the World" highlights four areas for visitors to explore: astronomy, natural history, medicine, and light. A gallery on each focuses on the changing role of science over time, particularly the astonishing leaps in imagination made by scientists over the years and the importance of written works in communicating those ideas. The newly renovated 2,800-square-foot Dibner Hall of the History of Science comes as a result of the marriage of The Huntington's history of science materials with the Burndy Library, a 67,000-volume collection of rare books and manuscripts donated to The Huntington in 2006 by the Dibner family.

"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the
public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State; And the
Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records
and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof." ~ United States
Constitution, Article IV, Section 1
There is a legal theory floating around in the debate over
DOMA and Prop 8 to the effect that the "full faith and credit" clause of the
Constitution requires states to recognize sodomy-based marriages performed in
other states.
Not so, and for several reasons.
One, as the Federalist Papers make clear, the "full faith
and credit" clause deals with judicial acts, not legislation. It concerns state courts, not state
legislatures. It concerns judicial decisions, not public policy.
For example, if a court in Kansas finds you liable to a
creditor and orders you to pay up, you can't run from your debt by taking
refuge across the border in Missouri. Missouri has a constitutional obligation
to recognize the court ruling in Kansas.
And if a court in Missouri finds you guilty of murder, you
can't beat the rap by fleeing to Kansas. Kansas is obligated to recognize the
court's decision and send you back for judgment.
Just three years after the Constitution had been ratified,
Congress enacted legislation under the aegis of the full faith and credit
clause. The legislation read, "the records
and judicial proceedings, authenticated as aforesaid, shall have such faith
and credit given to them in every Court
within the United States, as they have by law or usage in the Courts of the state from whence the said records are or
shall be taken." (Emphasis mine.)
The clause concerns judgments rendered in a court of law; as
the above excerpt makes clear, it deals with courts and court rulings, not
legislatures and state law. In fact, the primary intent of the provision was to
prevent businessmen from fleeing court-ordered judgments in one state by taking
refuge in another.
In 1813, the Supreme
Court interpreted this federal statute, in the case of Mills v. Duryee. The Court ruled that, "The act declares, that the
record, duly authenticated, shall have such faith and credit as it has in the state court from whence it is taken. If
in such court it has the faith and
credit of evidence of the highest nature, viz., record evidence, it must have
the same faith and credit in every other court."
Second, the Court has long recognized a public policy
exception to the full faith and credit clause, by drawing a clear distinction
between state judgments and state laws. As recently as 2003, the Court wrote
(in Franchise Tax Board v. Hyatt)
that, "[o]ur precedent differentiates
the credit owed to laws
(legislative measures and common law) and
to judgments." (Emphasis
So if court action in one state conflicts with the public
policy in another, federal courts have been rightly reluctant to force a state
to enforce any pronouncements of another state which contradict its own public
The Court made this "public policy exception" plain in 1939,
in Pacific Employers Insurance v.
Industrial Accident. Wrote the court:
"[T]here are some limitations
upon the extent to which a state may be required by the full faith and credit
clause to enforce even the judgment of another state in contravention of its own statutes or policy...And in the case of
statutes...the full faith and credit
clause does not require one state to substitute for its own statute, applicable
to persons and events within it, the conflicting statute of another state,
even though that statute is of controlling force in the courts of the state of
its enactment with respect to the same persons and events." (Emphasis mine.)
Simply put, this means, according to the Supreme Court, that
a homosexual marriage license issued in one state has no validity in a state
whose public policy prohibits recognition of homosexual marriages.
Third, an entire galaxy of licenses issued in one state are
not recognized in other states. Some use the example of drivers' licenses and
as an example of how the full faith and credit clause works. A license issued
in Idaho will suffice if you are traveling through Mississippi. Fair enough.
But if you move to Mississippi, you will be required to get a license issued by
the state of Mississippi in short order. Your Idaho license will cut you no ice
in that case, full faith and credit clause or no.
Doctors, attorneys, pharmacists, contractors and plumbers
get licensed to practice their profession in one state, but must get licensed
all over again if they want to practice in another state. Just because you
possess a license - whether a law license or a hunting license or a marriage
license - does not mean another state is obligated to validate that license in
its own jurisdiction. For instance, try using your concealed carry license
issued by the state of Texas in the city of New York. Call me when you make
Joseph Story, eminent Supreme Court jurist and author of the
first definitive history of the Constitution, wrote that it is the "general
rule" that states honor marriage certificates granted in other states. But if
it is a "general" rule, then the clear implication is that there are
exceptions. States, out of legal courtesy,
do grant recognition to marriage licenses issued in other states, but
are not obligated to do so if the issuance of that license is at variance with
that state's own public policy on marriage.
Patrick Joseph Borchers of the Creighton University School
of Law wrote a 12-page analysis which was published in the Creighton Law
Review. Here is the abstract:
"Although the Full Faith and Credit Clause is often assumed
by the popular press and some legal commentators to impose a mandatory duty on
states to recognize same-sex marriages validly celebrated in another state,
this common assumption is clearly false. States
have always retained the power to refuse to recognize some out-of-state
marriages that violate their expressions of public policy. This has
happened with, for example, marriages involving underage spouses or marriages that violate a state's consanguinity
rules. Marriages do not stand on the same constitutional footing as
litigated judgments. As a result, whether a state chooses to recognize a
same-sex marriage celebrated in another state is a function of the recognizing
state's law and its conflict-of-laws principles and not a matter of
constitutional compulsion." (Emphasis mine.)
In a piece published on the website of Yale Law School,
Lea Brilmayer and Howard Holtzman write the following:
precedent from around the country holds that a state need not recognize a
marriage entered into in another state with different marriage laws if those
laws are contrary to strongly held local public policy. The "public
policy doctrine," almost as old as this country's legal system, has been
applied to foreign marriages between first cousins, persons too recently
divorced, persons of different races, and persons under the age of consent. The granting of a marriage license has
always been treated differently than a court award, which is indeed entitled to
full interstate recognition. Court judgments are entitled to full faith and
credit but historically very little interstate recognition has been given to
Said Andrew Koppelman, a law professor at Northwestern
University, ''No state has ever been required by the full faith and credit
clause to recognize any marriage they didn't want to.''
This issue is far from abstract. In its rulings on DOMA and
Prop 8, the Supreme Court may well butcher the full faith and credit clause by
imposing sodomy-based marriage on all 50 states, state constitutional
amendments or no. Activists are already pushing for polygamous marriages to
receive recognition, and it's important to note that an activist ruling by the
court on gay marriage could well lead to every state being compelled to
recognize polygamy as soon as one state does.
Other activists want to eliminate age of consent
restrictions altogether, meaning adults could marry children just like Muslims
do, and still others want to marry animals. The Supreme Court may well, in
effect, be tyrannically imposing such moral monstrosities on the entire
Here's hoping the Court has enough constitutional sense,
moral decency and foresight not to make a catastrophic blunder here. Here's
hoping the Court gives full faith and credit to the 30 states whose
constitution forbids same-sex marriage. If it does not, it will indeed be too
late for America. We will have become Rome. We will no longer be slouching toward
Gomorrah, we will be bullrushing it at warp speed.
