Davis and Defense Lead CMU Football to Dominating Win, 37-0
Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 11/23/2013
The Chippewas (5-6, 4-3 Mid-American Conference) recorded a shutout for the first time since the 2010 season opener against Hampton. It is also CMU's first shutout over a MAC opponent since beating Akron, 42-0, on October 12, 1996. CMU held the Minutemen to just 173 yards of total offense and forced four turnovers including a pick-six by Tony Annese.
Despite the windy, frigid weather, quarterback Cooper Rush and wide receiver Titus Davis led the Chippewa offense. Davis caught seven balls for 154 yards and two touchdowns while Rush was 13-for-21 for 231 yards and two scores. Zurlon Tipton added 50 yards on the ground on 16 carries, reaching the end zone once.
Central Michigan opened the game with an eight play, 75-yard drive, capped off with a three-yard touchdown run by Tipton. After failed drives by both teams, UMass (1-10, 1-6) was able to put together a drive into CMU territory, only to have Jason Wilson pick off A.J Doyle at the CMU 20 and return it 52 yards to give the Chippewas great field position entering the second quarter.
CMU's drive off the interception got it into field goal range with Ron Coluzzi knocking through his first of three field goals on the day, this one from 33 yards to give CMU a 10-0.
The two teams traded punts before Annese stretched Central Michigan's advantage to 17 with his interception and return for a touchdown from 34 yards out, his second from that distance in as many weeks. Another UMass three-and-out plus a short punt gave the Chippewas good field position. CMU took advantage right away as Rush found Davis on a 34-yard catch and run for a touchdown, making the game 24-0.
The Minutemen's fourth three-and-out of the quarter gave the Chippewas good field position yet again. This time CMU's drive stalled out at the UMass 16 and Coluzzi was good from 33 yards out to give the Chippewas a 27-0 lead at the half.
CMU set its high mark for points in a game this season midway through the third quarter with a drive dominated by Davis. On a 2nd-and 17, the junior hauled in a 22-yard pass from Rush. Then two plays later, he went up among a pair of UMass defenders and brought down a 30-yard pass in the end zone for his second score of the day.
The Chippewas final scoring drive was sparked by Tipton, who rushed for 40 yards over five straight plays to get CMU back into the red zone. Coluzzi then capped the scoring with a 24-yard field goal to make it 37-0. The three field goals tied a career high for Coluzzi set in week one versus Michigan. A Brandon Greer interception ended UMass' next drive and the Chippewas then ran out the clock.
CMU will bid to gain bowl eligibility for the second consecutive season and recapture the MAC Michigan Trophy next week when it finishes out the regular season at home by hosting Eastern Michigan (2-9-, 1-6) on the day after Thanksgiving. The Senior Day battle is scheduled for a 2 p.m. kick off on Friday, Nov. 29 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium and will be streamed online by ESPN3.

Val Farmer: Fewer children hurts future of our societyWhen I was in graduate school in the early '70s, zero population growth was the secular religion of the day. Parents with big families were accused of polluting the earth. Paul Ehrlich and his environmentalist friends couldn't have been more wrong.
By: By Val Farmer, INFORUM
When I was in graduate school in the early '70s, zero population growth was the secular religion of the day. Parents with big families were accused of polluting the earth. Paul Ehrlich and his environmentalist friends couldn't have been more wrong.
In the '70s who knew:
- That the western world with all its cultural and economic advantages would choose career, lifestyle and consumption over children and family life?
- That the women's revolution, sexual revolution (contraception), cohabitation and divorce revolution would result in fewer marriages, later marriages, fewer children and more unstable and broken families?
- That individualism, cultural relativism, self-absorption and narcissism would erode traditional religious and family values in pursuit of freedom, consumption, travel, personal growth and comfort?
- That popular culture, the media and the advertising world would incessantly promote ego-driven instant gratification and individualism while portraying children as expensive burdens and that marital commitment or parenthood are unnecessary to the fun of sex?
- That having a replacement birthrate was and is the key to sustainable economies?
We have come full circle. The biggest problem facing western economies today is not overpopulation, but that there are not enough people to sustain their growth. Why? According to demographers, beginning around 2050 world population will start a steep, irreversible, exponential decline.
Why? Because of something happening right now under our noses. Ninety countries currently have sub-replacement birth rates well below 2.1 children per woman. When a country has below 1.3 children per woman, it will lose half of its population every 45 years.
Demographers say 1.3 births per couple is the "lowest-low" fertility rate from which no human society has ever recovered. Even in overcrowded places like Japan (1.23), the economy is tottering under the weight of their geriatric population and minuscule birthrates.
Russia has a birthrate of 1.14 in a country with a huge land mass and sparse populations as it is. Eastern European countries are close behind with comparable declining birthrates.
Catholic countries of Spain (1.15), Italy (1.23) and Greece (1.3), where large families were once the norm, have voted with their personal lives not to have children, and their economies suffer. The birthrates for France (1.89), Germany (1.35), Canada (1.48), and the United Kingdom (1.6) are inflated by the birthrates of their large populations of Muslim immigrants.
The United States enjoys 2.11 live births per woman, just at the replacement fertility rate for a stable population. This figure is inflated by the birthrates of Hispanic immigrants who will become the majority population by 2050.
"The on-going global decline in human birthrates is the most single powerful force affecting the fate of nations and the future of society in the 21st century." – Philip Longman, American demographer
What will be the effects of population decline? Economies need workers and consumers. There are no instances of economic growth accompanied by population decline. The result will be a far bleaker and chaotic environment than any doomsayer environmentalist could conjure up.
There will be political, economic and social disruption. The competition for scant resources will be extreme.
Our grandchildren will mature into a lonely, aging world bereft of siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. There will be far more grandparents and parents than there are children. The comforts and security of marriage and family life will be elusive for those too wary of its obligations. Not enough children will grow up in families where they learn morality, cooperation and trust.
Adolescent self-absorption extends well into the 30s. Young people engage in premarital sex, delay marriage, live together without commitment, delay childbirth or choose not to marry or be parents at all. Their reproductive heritage will shrink with each succeeding generation.
We need to have a counter-cultural movement to counteract media, affluence and pop culture. These forces glorify wealth, self-gratification and career achievement at the expense of forming new families.
We need a pro-life, pro-family agenda of valuing marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, children and family values. We need to value and defend our religious values, traditional marriage and morality.
People of faith
The families who will thrive in 2050 and beyond will be people of faith. They will be the children and grandchildren of married couples today with strong religious convictions and traditional morality. They are the ones who through their lives of optimism, dedication and sacrifice will bring children into the world and nurture them properly. Their children will be the ones to resist the blandishments of self in favor of stable marriages and having children of their own. Their faith and values will protect them. They are the ones who will inherit the earth.

Five days before the pomp and circumstance of National Signing Day, I watched the nation's fastest high-school football player, Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield, in a much less glamorous endeavor.
He was sweating it out at a Jones High track practice.
Football is the meal ticket for a big-play receiver and dynamite kick returner who signed with FSU on Wednesday. But Whitfield is still hungry for a few more months of high-school success.

That's why he was working on relay exchanges and is excited about a spring season that starts next Wednesday with a meet on Jones' new rubberized track.
"I still got to get work done," Whitfield said. "I've still got things to accomplish. Win state again. Win all my national meets. I'm not going to quit grinding."
A year after his cousin, former Boone blur Marvin Bracy, was renowned as the nation's fastest prep football/track athlete, Whitfield wants to take that baton and run with it.
He is the reigning 2A state champ in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, already among the best sprinters in Florida history with times of 10.21 seconds (wind-aided) and 20.96. Whitfield plans to defend the Dream 100 title he captured in New York City last June, then head to Tallahassee to reunite with his workout partner, Bracy.
Bracy signed with FSU as a dual-sport athlete one year ago.
"The football and track coaches at FSU are all talking about us running together," Whitfield said. "It's going to be crazy with me and Marvin on the relay. They're saying we're going to be national champs."
Different paths
Major colleges expect football signees to do prescribed individual workouts before they get to campus.
"I realize Ohio State expects a lot from me these next couple of months, but I'm still going to run track," Buckeyes signee James Clark said. "It's just more work I have to do."
Freedom wide receiver Jeff Badet, a Kentucky signee, also is sticking it out. Badet popped a big long jump of 23 feet, 9 inches to make state last season, whetting his appetite.
"Just knowing the ability I have, that I could possibly jump a 24 or 25," Badet said of his incentive. "And I feel like I need to work to get faster to play in the dominant conference the SEC is."
DeLand's Jo Jo Kemp, who signed with Kentucky as a running back, said he probably is going to pass on weightlifting. He finished fourth at state in the 183-pound weight class as a junior.
"I'm going to get my workout sheets from Kentucky and strictly be doing training for football and working on how to be the best in the SEC," Kemp said.
Prized UF safety signee Keanu Neal of South Sumter is on a basketball team that has a district tournament semifinal Friday. When that season ends, he will join the track and weightlifting teams.
As a junior, Neal was 2A runner-up in the 300 hurdles and a state qualifier in weightlifting.
Miami signee Ray Lewis III played basketball for the Griffins and is now on the track team.
Other Division I running-back signees who are out for track this spring include A.J. Turman (Georgia) of Boone, John Armstrong (Wake Forest) of Olympia and Zach Smith (Weber State), of Kissimmee Gateway.
Boone P Johnny Townsend, whose lengthy commitment to Ohio State took a strange turn this week, will weigh his football decision while playing baseball.
All four members of Apopka's 8A state championship squad who signed Wednesday were or are playing other sports. K Brett Wilson (Presbyterian) played soccer. TE Trey Hendrickson (FAU) and LB Garrett Spek (Johns Hopkins) are now on the Blue Darters' lacrosse team. C Dazzie Morris (Bethune-Cookman) is on a top-seeded basketball squad that had a district semifinal Wednesday night and will toggle over to volleyball for the spring season.

La Concha Is Not What It Used To Be – I remember when La Concha was always busy, had experienced technicians, and made you feel like a VIP. Those days are gone. I wanted to treat myself for a gift package and got I think it's called the Hide-Away where you get an hour massage, basic facial, and pedicure all for like $220. First off, that place is like the Winchester Mystery House with all the small hallways and twists and turns.
I got a massause name Connie, a lovely woman, with really strong hands. I kept telling her she was hurting me and she told me she needed to get my knots out and that was the only way to do it. I thought massages were supposed to be gentle and relaxing, I guess I was wrong. I'm otuhg but this was just too much kneading way too hard and she didn't listen to me even when I was practically crying saying it was hurting. I couldn't wait until my time was up with her. I mean who can't wait until a massage is over? certainly not me! Needless to say that night and next day my body was in extreme pain like I had been through 12 rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime.
Next is my pedicure. I'm taken into this small room where I am left for about a half hour sitting in the uncomfortable pedicure chair. This young girl walks in with her t-shirt and jeans looking like she just got off from school. I asked how old she was and she told me her mid twenties which was hard to believe. I asked if she had her license and she said yes but there were no certificates anywhere to be seen which i thought was mandatory. She was nice but not professional. She had some clippers, etc that were not washed so i had to ask her to wash them. They had a limited amount of colors so i chose just a basic red. This was going downhill fast. You would think for a $55 pedicure that you would get some kind of special with it, nope, I could have done that at home better. Oh wait, it gets better, she'll also be doing my facial.
She takes me into a small dark room and convinces me for another $10 or so that I need some deep cleansing facial. Why not just throw that into that package to begin with? All it basically is she said is higher end lotion for my face. She could have used the regular and I would never know so maybe I was suckered on that. She goes through all the basic facial stuff and when it comes to the extractions she used her fingers and kleenex - again something I'm sure I could have done at home with some steam and my own hands. It was over before I knew it!
Then it was time to pay. The girl who did my facial and pedicure is apparently the niece of the owner, Gloria. They were arguing about something and I guess times are tough there because there was no other staff there besides the Gloria, Connie, and the young lady and I was the only client...on a Saturday afternoon. Hmmmm. It took Gloria awhile to figure out the computer system to run my payment. Then she asked me for tips for the staff and I wasn't very happy with it but I felt like they were struggling so I gave them way more than I cared to - which wasn't much. The fact that she was asking me for specific tip amounts for her workers seemed unprofessional to me in the first place - like you're put on the spot and judged for what you pay. I have a feeling this place will be going out of business soon. They should be doing a lot more business, especially with a great location in downtown Willow Glen. I can only hope that if they read these reviews they will make some changes on how they do their business.
Totally UNDERimpressed, This is one of Silicon Valleys finest??? I hope not! – Um...is this a completely different La Concha from the one reviewed on Yelp? La Concha gets trashed on Yelp and yet gets star reviews here...I dont' get it.
I went to La Concha a few years ago during the holidays. My first impression of the place was not bad at all, the reception area was 'guest ready'. It was pleasantly decorated and clean. The overall vibe was calming -- but that may have been because I went later in the evening and not a lot of people were there.
I got a facial, hoping for thorough extractions. The esthetician was a very pleasant young woman, but she extracted using her fingers and tissue paper -- which I have never experienced before. She had too light of a touch and hardly did any extractions. She actually gave up after a minute, telling me my comedones were 'too compacted' to extract. I have NEVER had this happen before, I don't think extractions are that difficult and in fact a big part of a facial for someone with problem/oily skin.
When the facial was over, I experienced a typical B-grade level receptionist service. Two women barely paid attention to me as they were busy speaking in a mixture of English and Spanish and counting out the till -- yep, counting out cash and tallying up the day's earnings, just like you see in a retail store at the mall or fast food restaurant. They were talking about how successful their week was while I was standing right in front of them. Very classy.
There are too many b-grade joints overcharging and under-servicing folks without me encouraging this practice.
This place is not the worst spa ever (I have other reviews for that) but it's certainly not deserving of being on any of my 'top ten' lists.
Best Staff – I personally love La Concha Spa...they make you feel welcome...i have gotten their facials twice before and i enjoyed both times...i found the music relaxing...there is a homey type feeling to it...everyone is so friendly...and i defentley recomend it to anyone who needs it
Must Have MASSAGE – Quality Treatment and Good Service are most important to me ....and that is what I Got from La Concha! I've been to an elegant Spa but had someone inexperienced, their service/quality was terrible and prices outrageous. At La Concha, it's very well worth it to me. I am going back for MORE! Better priced and the massage was the best I've ever had. I even brought my best friend.... I think they take pride in their efforts to satisfy the customer. I left happy and wanting to recommend this place to everyone.
Editorial Review – Full-service day spa specializes in body treatment packages designed for different skin tones as well as massages, manicures and facials.
Facial review – DO NOT GET A FACIAL AT LA CONCHA! The lady who did my facial seemed very inexperienced and unknowledgable about the spa-like experienec and facials. She massaged my face and I could feel her nails digging into my face! I had to ask her to stop. Also, they use 35% glycolic acid instead of the standard 30%. I couldn't sit through 2 minutes of the peel. And instead of neutralizing the acid, the facial lady just put an ice cold wash cloth over my face to "stop the action" as she kept saying. She was also loud and not graceful. The facial room had a curtain for privacy instead of a door so it definitely was not a serene, spa experience. In fact, it was the least spa-like experience I've ever had.
Not up to par! – I was looking forward to an relaxing day, and it seemed as if the staff was disorganized and unprepared. Unfortunately I will not try them again and when I asked if everything was alright I was shuffled around by an unfriendly assistant.
Quality is lacking compared to most. – The time I went I was planning on a mud bath, massage, and mini-facial. The mud bath merely looked like brown water and was in a large bright room that didn't exactly allow me to relax. I felt dirtier getting out. The massage was okay, but a little deeper than I would like for something that wasn't a deep tissue massage. After that, I had to wait a while before my facial. In front of the bench I was sitting on was a woman cutting someone's hair. Little did I know that his same person would do my facial. Once in the room, she would apply something and then leave for a few minutes. Then come back, remove, apply something and then leave again. After the third time, I thought it was defintely a mini-facial with mini-service. I was extremely disappointed in the end. Go elsewhere..
Nice, but not great – I scheduled a massage at La Concha because I heard it was a nice spa, plus it was much cheaper than other spas in the area. Afterward, I wish I would have spent more and gone to a more upscale spa. The massage therapist talked to me the entire time, most of which she was scolding me because I am ticklish! Also, I was not offered a shower afterward, so I had to drive home in my nice clothes with massage oil all over my skin. Otherwise, the spa was nice and the staff was friendly. It is a good place to go if your budget is somewhat limited. If you want the full spa pamering experience, I recommend you go elsewhere.
Great Massage but lacking in atmosphere – I was given a certificate to La Concha for a massage. The staff was friendly and the massage therapist was grea, but it is the atmosphere that was lacking. It is a renovated house. I was taken into a salmon colored room. I felt like I was getting a massage at someone's home. It was too bright for me to relax and there was only really quite music that I had to strain to hear. So although it was one of the better massages I have gotten over the years the atmosphere did not give me the relaxation that I needed to really relax and feel pampered.

Jeffrey Haus' 13-year-old self would never have guessed that he'd grow up to be a professor of Jewish studies. That Haus has become an expert of anything Jewish is one of the great ironies of his life, he says.
"If I wasn't the worst, I was certainly one of the worst students in my synagogue religious school," says the Director of Kalamazoo College's Jewish Studies Program. "I played hooky all the time to the point of almost being expelled. I was the problem child."
Today, Haus holds a Ph.D. in Modern Jewish History and is considered an authority on many things Jewish. He has taught and lectured widely on modern Judaism and Jewish history and has authored articles on French Jewry. In March, he published a book examining the history of Jews in 19th century France.
Kalamazoo College hired Haus in 2005 after Helen Etkin '76, currently a College trustee, generously donated seed money to establish an endowment for Jewish learning and exploration. Her intent was "to help provide an environment that supports Jewish students' learning about themselves and the world and, at the same time, promotes the world learning about Judaism." Since being named Director of Jewish Studies and Assistant Professor of History and Religion, Haus has been successful in building a program of study that gives students - Jews and non-Jews alike - opportunities to think critically about the world around them through exploration of the history, religion, politics, and culture of the Jewish people. He has also made strides in creating a more comfortable environment for Jewish students on campus and in extending learning opportunities to the Kalamazoo community through public lectures and cultural programming.
Haus was granted tenure in May. Here, he talks with BeLight about his work, the breadth of the Jewish Studies Program, why it's important at "K," his views on teaching, and his hopes for the program's future.
First of all, how did you go from rejecting your Jewish education as a youth to becoming a maven in that very subject?
I guess you could say it was because of girls. I went to a private middle school that was all boys, then to a high school that had just turned co-ed, so there still weren't many girls around. When my brother joined USY [United Synagogue Youth], I noticed he suddenly knew all these girls. So I joined too. There were older high school girls who would actually talk to me. It changed my relationship with Judaism a great deal.
Eventually I got very involved in the organization, attending conventions and serving on the regional general board. When I started at the University of Michigan and had to take a language, I chose Hebrew. I had already taken Spanish in high school, and French didn't appeal to me at all - another great irony, considering that's what I now study.
I began taking more and more classes on Judaism: the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Holocaust, biblical history, and so on. After my sophomore year I spent six weeks in Israel, first living on a kibbutz and then touring. I loved it there and wanted to go back, so after I graduated, I volunteered with Sherut La'Am - that's Hebrew for "service to the people." I studied Hebrew for three months in Tiberias, then taught English at an elementary school in Nazerat-Ilit.
At about that time, I decided I wanted to get a graduate degree in Middle Eastern Studies, then work in foreign service or politics. After working briefly in politics, I opted for an academic career in Jewish history. I was advised to study as many languages as possible, so I learned French and German. My first year in graduate school (at Brandeis University), I had to write a seminar paper based on original research about European Jewry. So I poked around the college library and found a collection of French Jewish periodicals from the 19th century. In researching the career of one the journal's editors, I became interested in the relationship between Judaism and the French state during that period. That topic eventually formed the foundation for my dissertation. It also led to several articles and became the basis for my book, Challenges of Equality: Judaism, State, and Education in Nineteenth-Century France (Wayne State University Press, 2009).
So instead of foreign service or politics, you found yourself enamored with research. How has your research progressed and where do you see it going in the future?
I got interested in education history because it seemed obvious to me that there is a close relationship between what people do and how they view the world. My book examines how the French government was able to influence this worldview based on its financial relationship with Jewish education. My future research will pursue another side of this question: the relationship between Jews and money in France. Again, I plan on exploring how a basic necessity - working for a living - has influenced the way that Jews respond to the world around them.
How did you end up teaching at "K"?
I got into the Jewish Studies field because of the research aspect, and along the way I found out that I liked teaching. I was teaching at the University of North Carolina (Greensboro) when this job announcement appeared. The College wanted to bring in a faculty member who could build a Jewish Studies program, teach classes, advise the Jewish Student Organization, and organize Jewish cultural programming for the campus community as well as the public. I thought it was worth taking a chance.
Kalamazoo College is a small school with presumably a small Jewish student population. Why do you think a Jewish Studies Program has been able to succeed here?
It's important to realize that the Jewish Studies Program is not just for Jewish students. The vast majority of students in my classes, obviously, are not Jewish. Some of them have Jewish ancestry but weren't raised as Jews and want to discover their heritage. A number of them are religion majors who have been advised that they can't be a religion major without knowing something about Judaism. Others want to study Jewish history and Judaism to better understand the world around them. Then there are Jewish students who are committed to learning more about their religion and the legacy of their people.
So the fact that "K" is a small college with a small contingent of Jewish students really has no bearing on the program's success. What does have bearing is, first, the students' desire and willingness to understand the world more fully and, second, the program's ability not just to teach them about Jewish history and culture but also to get them to use that knowledge to think critically about the world. By exploring the experience of one group of people, our students begin to understand the experience and interrelation of all of humanity. They confront important social and ethical issues and respond with thoughtful discussions. This intellectual process reflects the goals of a liberal arts education.
In what other ways do students benefit?
Our students should learn about as many different groups who are not themselves as they can. That's the currency of the world right now, being able to move in different worlds comfortably. It's the currency in the business world. If you're a doctor, you need to be able to relate to different kinds of people; if you're a lawyer, you need to talk to different kinds of people. The Jewish Studies Program opens their eyes to people of a different culture and history.
I don't think you can really understand Christianity, for example, without understanding something about Judaism. Many students tell me they understand their own traditions better after taking my classes. They'll say, "I never read the Bible that way." It's a different Bible, when it's seen from a historical rather than a theological perspective, and from a Jewish rather than specifically Christian one.
The program also contributes to a sense of diversity on campus. "K" has worked to become more sensitive to racial and gender diversity; I think religious diversity is the last hurdle. Students have also told me that they are comfortable identifying themselves as Jews on campus, some identifying themselves as Jews for the first time anywhere. To me, that's one of the great values of the program: for students to discover things about themselves, discover things they're interested in and want to learn more about.
Can you talk about what it took to build a Jewish Studies Program from scratch? What does the program look like today?
From the outset, I wanted the program to connect students with a variety of disciplines and areas of knowledge. At the same time, I thought it would benefit the College and the students if the program reached out to the broader Kalamazoo community as well. The academic side was the easiest part to get started. Because I had a lot of Jewish Studies experience, I came to Kalamazoo with five or six courses ready to go. I also drew from what already existed here. The Religion Department was teaching a class on the Old Testament, so I brought that into the program. There was a political science course on the politics of the Holocaust, so I brought that in, too. Today the program typically offers six or seven courses in a given school year (see sidebar).
I supplement the academic program with guest lectures once or twice a year. To my mind, college is about exposing yourself to different ideas, but when you're the only person in a particular field on campus, it's very easy for students to think you know everything there is to know. So bringing in people from the outside to talk about their work expands the knowledge available for the students. The more they can learn from as many people as possible, the better off they are. Also, on a professional level, it helps me maintain my contacts and keep up with what's going on in the field.
When I bring a guest lecturer in, it's usually in conjunction with a class I'm teaching. The students typically will have read something the speaker wrote so they can talk about it. I also ask the guest to give a public lecture for the community. In 2008, for instance, I was teaching a class called "Women and Judaism." One of the course books was Women, Birth and Death in Jewish Law and Ritual, which examines the status of women in Jewish law by looking at certain lifecycle rituals. To supplement the coursework I invited the book's author, Rochelle Millen, to visit campus and meet with my class. She also gave a public lecture at the college that was attended by the wider Kalamazoo community. Other visitors have been Arnost Lustig, a Hungarian Holocaust survivor and writer, and Anthony Polonsky, one of the top scholars in Polish Jewry. And they're not always academic lectures. Michael Ungar, a "K" alumnus and rabbi from Columbus, Ohio, gave a very interesting talk about leading a Jewish mission to Cuba. All of these events gave students the opportunity to meet people they would not have ordinarily met, and learn from experts in their respective fields.
Earlier you mentioned that you also serve as faculty advisor for the Jewish Student Organization. Can you tell me about the organization and how you're involved?
The JSO promotes Jewish life on campus. The students do a great job organizing all kinds of programs, from Shabbat dinners and bagel-and-movie nights to programs on the genocide in Darfur. They host a campus-wide Passover Seder each year, which is very popular, and have brought in various speakers.
Being a faculty advisor can mean anything from signing checks to having a more hands-on involvement. Each year can be different in terms of how much the students want me involved. It's their organization, so I try to take the lead from them. But I do like them to take responsibility for themselves as much as possible. That's really the essence of my entire professional approach: Take responsibility for your education.
What have been your greatest challenges these last four years?
When I was on the job market, someone advised me, "Whatever you do, don't take a job where you have to be a Hillel* director and a teacher at the same time," because on Friday night, you're the students' buddy, enjoying Shabbat dinner with them, then on Monday you have to
"I try to get them to think about how things fit together."give one of them a D on a test. And that's true; I have had this issue with a few students. But generally I've been able to make it work.
The greater challenge has been positioning the program to be approved as an official concentration. Right now, I teach most of the courses that go with the program. To offer Jewish Studies as a concentration, we need other faculty members. That way, if I go on leave or sabbatical, students with a Jewish Studies concentration can still take courses.
* Hillel is a national Jewish campus organization. The Kalamazoo College Jewish Student Organization is affiliated with national Hillel but is not Hillel-accredited.
What has been the College's attitude toward the program?
The College remains very committed to the program. Fundraising for the endowment is ongoing, and both the President and the Provost are involved in it. I'm very grateful for that. For them to grant me tenure in this economic environment without a full endowment is an indication of their support for the program and the fact they think it's valuable. But the program doesn't start and stop with me; it needs to grow in the future The best thing we can do now is make friends for the program, create a network of people who think that we're building something important. Slowly but surely we're getting people on board. My dream is to have one other full-time person who teaches topics I don't teach, maybe rabbinical texts, the Hebrew language, Hebrew literature. There's a great deal of interest among students to study Hebrew, and not just among the Jewish students. It would really increase interest in Israel for study abroad. Typically we send one or two students to Israel each year; the student who went this year, who isn't Jewish, would have loved to have studied Hebrew before she went.
I'd also like to be able to do more cultural programming for students, faculty and the community, maybe bring in a contemporary Jewish music band from Chicago or a Jewish-oriented drama performance.
You seem to have something of a reputation among students for being a tough teacher. Does that surprise you?
No, because I do put a lot of demands on my students in terms of honing their ideas and making them as sophisticated as possible. What I want in any course is for students to develop their critical and analytical skills and to express those ideas clearly in their writing. It's important, for example, that students understand the purpose of an essay. It's not to show me how many different sources they used and how much they know. I want them to tell me what they think about an idea and to make a case for why they think they're correct. I try to get them to think about how things fit together. If they find that things that don't go together, based on their ideas, they need to change the information or change what they think. Changing the information usually isn't an option, so they have to change what they think to fit the evidence before them. It's a very difficult thing for many people to do, but students should want to be challenged. I tell them that if they think a class is easy, they should feel like they're getting ripped off.
What do you like most about working at "K"?
There are many reasons I enjoy being here, but above all, I enjoy the students and my relationships with them. I've taught in six places now, and it's clear that this institution is different than the others. Classroom dynamics aren't that different, but I find I can have a higher level of conversation with many of the students.
Your research was your springboard to teaching and remains an important component of your work. Do you think of yourself as a professor who does research, or as a researcher who teaches?
I think of myself as a scholar, and a scholar is someone who not only goes out and learns but also researches and teaches. I don't think those two functions need to be mutually exclusive. In fact, I like to create a connection between my research and my teaching whenever possible. In my Modern European classes, for example, some of the discussions about the relationship between education, identity, and citizenship have come directly out of my research. I think my next research topic will translate even better to a course setting.
It's very difficult to be a good college instructor if you're not engaged in some sort of research. The students get really excited if you're excited about what you're teaching them. And it keeps you from giving them the same old, yellowed lecture notes every year.
What does being tenured mean to you?
Receiving tenure is one of the highlights of an academic career. It's a great feeling of accomplishment. But I don't view getting tenure as the end of anything. This, for me, represents a step in a longer journey. The first step in the College's commitment to the Jewish Studies program was hiring me; the next step was tenuring me. Now, work needs to done in order to build on those two things - in terms of programming and in terms of financial support, from alumni and from other sources.
I look at being tenured this way: I would never have bought furniture with my wife when we were dating, but when we got married, it was time to start thinking about what kind of couch we wanted. It's the same now between the College and me: the dating part of our relationship is over, and now we can go buy furniture. To take the analogy further, let me say I'm optimistic that the College and I will soon produce offspring who teach Hebrew language and literature.
Jeffrey Haus recalls the day he discovered this serigraph by Ben Shahn at the Upjohn Library. He had been working on revisions to his book when he happened to look up and glimpse the art on the wall. Titled Warsaw, 1943, the serigraph laments the futile attempt by Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto to resist the Nazis. The Hebrew text comes from Jewish prayer liturgy commemorating earlier Jewish martyrs killed because of their religious faith. Haus has pointed this print out to visitors, and has since come across other Jewish-themed artwork hanging in the library.

Finding out that Main Street Dance Academy is re-opening could not be better news. Carolyn Hoffman and her highly qualified and delightful teachers offer this small Iowa town something rare. The quality of dance education given at this studio far exceeds anything anyone could ask for or may already have. Students of all ages are given a proper dance education, with fun, excitement and technique all rolled into one. Nowhere else in town uses appropriate costuming and music, as well as gives respect and encouragement to all students. If you haven't seen an MSDA production you are missing out. The reasonable show length and the 100 percent entertainment factor are hard to come by.
As the only nationally certified dance teacher in Marshalltown, Carolyn treats every child as her own, while trying to give them every opportunity possible, in dance and in life. I personally have seen, not only extremely talented, passionate and driven dancers come out of those doors, but genuinely good kids. Whether it is the 3-year-olds or the 18-year-olds, every dancer in there is receiving a real gift.
Having MSDA as a part of this town's local business group is wonderful, and everyone should check it out themselves. You won't be disappointed!

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- The NDSU soccer team will have a new homefield this season. The former home "pitch", Ellig Sports Complex, was too small by NC-double-A standards. So the Bison will play home games on the turf of Dacotah Field beginning this fall, which IS regulation size.

Reason 6 started working ok after a night of computer too slow to play song
Got Reason 6 upgrade yesterday and installed it last night. On install complete I rebooted and the computer blue screened whilst booting. I duly switched off and after a while on again. Ran Reason and loaded the default demo song. Got the Computer Too Slow To Play Song message about half way through and was worried as I've seen the threads with people who have problems. Ran a couple of songs I'd completed in Record 1.5/Reason 5 and they wouldn't play. No way - tried a few different settings but nothing worked. Well disappointed and figured I was one of the unlucky ones. Went to bed feeling a bit miffed but looking on the bright side that at least I had the new sound banks and planning to go back to Record / Reason. Turned PC on today and thought I'd try again before taking the inevitable step of going back to Record & Reason. Loaded a few tunes including ones that wouldn't play yesterday and I'm back in business. noticed a few crackles at first but they've gone and I'm running task manager and watching performance not go over 60%. TFFT can now go and play with my new toys. Hopefully that's the end of my problems now but commiserations to everyone else who's still struggling.
Im not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but wow.....you got a BSOD on BOOTUP? After an installation of a program......
Then it doesnt work....then miraculously works the next day and.....youre happy with that??
That whole scenario is something, on paper and hopefully youll understand what Im saying here, but its not a scenario Id want within 100 miles of my studio. A BSOD after installing something is simply wacktastic. When it works better, and for no other good reason besides some kind of magic and seeming luck, the next day...that is also something that simply does not fit into a professionals endeavor. It in fact thwarts it.
This is all coming from my side of things = Im still on the fence about buying the program. And to be dead honest, I mean on the fence THIS month. Ill certainly be buying, Im quite sure, after there is an update.
I suppose my main point is just "Wow" ~ those are kinda some funky issues. IMHO, Reason 4 was one of the best coded little bits of software Ive ever ever seen. So I know how stable and solid Props wares are. Again, I can just say "Wow".
I just know that if I had a BSOD after install of an expensive program I was planning on using in a professional setting, Ide never rest till I found out WTH was the reason for that to have happened. MY heart would sink as well as a bit of love for Props, and I just dont want that to happen, haha.
Obviously...there are issues with this release. If anyone has seen a direct reply from Props regarding all of the issues present in the launch version, which are many, plz direct me to that link if ya can. Im sure it will get sorted at some time, but I think we can all admit theres issues.
etc etc
Yes I got a BSOD on bootup after installing. The PC was then turned off and left for maybe 2 minutes before again booting.....then came the problems. Today it seemed to work fine and if it works fine then hey great I'm happy and if that's not professional of me then please feel free to slate me for not spending the rest of my life debugging someone else's software and my own computer's configuration.
Fact is sitting here now just over an hour later the problems have returned so it's obvious to anyone with half a brain (including me) that there are serious issues with this release and it doesn't seem that there are any announcements anywhere from the Props about this. There are posts from Beta testers saying that they were experiencing the exact same thing during beta testing which suggests this was a known problem and yet the software was still released, but I guess if you only paid 1$ for it (I didn't it was a free upgrade) you haven't really got much to complain about.
Bottom line is I'd seriously advise anyone thinking of upgrading to wait until the next update when this will surely be sorted.
Try defragging your drive. I had the same problem, and that solved it for me.
A bluescreen while *booting* windows is to be sure not a good sign, particularly in a production environment, but it can not be caused by Reason as it would not be running at that point. The ultimate failure in a case like this is a failure by microsoft, not Propellerhead.
It is possible that the software which handles the USB key starts then and that windows's failure to handle something it did causes the bluescreen, but that software is separate from Reason. Even if you want to take all responsibility off of microsoft's shoulders, one crash precipitated by the installation of that little program should not be enough to make you mistrust Reason.
I have used a lot of professional software of several different types. Various kinds of 2D and 3D graphics, modeling and animation software, professional photo, video and audio software from a number of different companies, etc. and with the exception of the Linux/Unix server software that much of the internet runs on (including my sites) I can't think of anything that I've been more consistently impressed with the quality and performance of than Reason.
I'm sure that some people are having problems right now, especially on PCs where the type, quality and configuration of components varies much more widely, but that happens with practically all new software. There was a public beta that seems to have been pretty easy to get in on, and I'm sure that they didn't intentionally ignore any serious bugs that were brought up during that process. People who didn't participate can bring them up now, and I'm sure that if the flaw is in Reason, it will be fixed. In many cases though, the problems that people are having probably have more to do with their specific hardware configurations or conflicts with/flaws in other software.
Disk fragmentation, mentioned by the last poster, for example. That is something that's difficult to avoid completely, but the fact that it is bad enough to interfere with the normal operation of the computer basically comes down to three things; the speed of the hard drive (the faster it can find the information it needs to read, the less fragmentation hurts performance), the filesystem (almost certainly NTFS or maybe some kind of FAT, all microsoft filesystems, none of which are known for their low file fragmentation, to put it kindly), and the operating system, again from microsoft, which can also play a role in creating and/or fixing fragmentation. None of that is at all under the control of Propellerhead or any other software company.
I don't know if the subsequent performance problems in this case were Reason's fault, or if there was something else going on, but the only time I've had performance problems with Reason 6 was when I set the sample rate to 96k and forgot about it. That gave me some performance problems on my 4 year old laptop, but as soon as I set it back to 48k everything was fine again. I don't know if that or something similar was going on here, but it was probably not some mysterious inexplicable magic at work.
I know there are plenty of people saying worse things about the software, and I could have gone and yelled at them or somethin', but I hope that the people reading this thread will be a little more reasonable and really think about the issue before deciding that Propellerhead doesn't care or doesn't know what they're doing. No they're not perfect, but they're pretty damned good, and if you want to place blame, you should try to partition it out appropriately.
Cheers guys I'll be trying some more tonight. It would be good to get to a place where I know what's causing it but to be honest I'm not anticipating being that successful and may just bite the bullet and go back to Record 1.5 & Reason 5 at least for the time being.
I agree with gwenebiau that reason would not be running on reboot and is likely not the culprit. I'd say it's MS because BSOD is an OS failure... but it could have been caused by anything that was going on on your computer since the previous boot-up and/or any of the programs that are set to starup on login, like instant messaging. any app that offers option to start at boot or not i always set to not start automatically - and the ones that stay running after you close them, i always force them to exit when i am done.
Defrag, scan for viruses, and I like a (free) program called CCleaner which will check your registry for issues and fix them. it has option to back registry before it makes changes.
"Too slow to play song" is mostly a combination of processor and memory. run task manager to watch CPU and in the process window, click on the CPU usage column so it sorts high-to-low, that will put the most cpu intensive app on top. sometimes you have something running you don't know about that chews up cpu... like background virus scans, auto update downloads, indexing for search (which i have permanently turned off).

same problem except getting worse. please someone help!! is it my processor ? thank you
I had lots of troubles installing Balance - BSOD 3 times.
I sometimes have no power to balance on bootup - my usb ports sometimes seem to turn themselves off (I have been into device manager and disabled windows power management of the usb ports).
So when I unplug balance and plug back into the same or different usb port - BSOD.
If I turn off the computer and replug balance - on bootup - BSOD!
This goes on and on!

San Jose >Food & Dining > La Victoria
140 W San Carlos St, San Jose, CA | Directions 9511337.330324 -121.889263
Daily 7am-2am
Neighborhoods: Central San Jose, Central
Great "hole in the wall" – the orange sauce...quality of food and consistency. its a great place to go on any night. prices are reasonable. seating gets a bit tight bc its a college town but its still worth it.
MOST AMAZING SPOT IN SAN JOSE OPEN TILL 3AM!!! – Every night I start feel hungry, I look at the clock and if it is before 3AM, I head over to La Vic...
Those Chile Verde Super Burritos with HOT sauce....Someone hold me down...I am going to eat myself to death...
If you get stuff to go, just ask for tons of hot sauce...They are more than willing to give you more...My first time in there I was a bit taken back- but noticed EVERYONE had a bottle of the signature HOT sauce...
Such a great alternative to Jack in the Box, Pizza My Heat, and that horrible place Iguanas around the corner....This place actually has a bit more customer service and the food is to die for!
If you are going to park, try parking on the other side of the street, or over at McDonald's....
a MUST GO breakfast – I moved out of the area about a year ago, and whenever anyboday says San Jose, I instantly crave a breakfast burrito covered in orange sauce. I wish I could get orange sauce shipped to me. For a first timer its intimidating- but you must try it. And its definitely got a kick to it! I never ate there... but I went nearly every weekend and the second I get back to California I will be there again!
absolutely THE best tacos, quesadillas, and burritos anywhere in san jose – Anyone who doesn't think la vic is delicous obviously hasn't been ordering right. I've tried many of the meats, and I have to say that the chorizo and carne asada are totally average, but anything with chicken is amazing. The chicken is good white meat, the sauce is the best, and everything is reasonably priced for the portion that you are given. anyone who has been dissappointed needs to go back and try a super chicken quesadilla or super chicken taco RIGHT NOW its unbelievably yummy.
Worse place to eat in San jose – Ugly decoration, not parking, lack of maintenance and not customer restroom makes this place the worse taqueria that I ever visited even in Mexico. The sense of dirt and lack of sanitation that you get once you arrive is confirmed when you get in the table and see the details (walls, floors, etc)
the best quesadilla – most people who go to la vics usually get the burrito that comes with the orange sauce
personally i dont think the burrito is very good just average
its mostly the orange sause that makes every one like the burrito
but one thing you have to try when you go there is quesadilla
i usually get the burrito but when i got the quesadilla for the first time hands down it was the best one i ever had.
MUST TRY the super one :] very good

La Vic #2 doesn't want your money – I've lived downtown for 10+ years. I travel the world for my career. And I am an avid diner and cook. I know my food. When I first moved to dtwn SJ I was loving La Victoria on San Carlos. the food came up fast and the portions were big and everything I tried I loved. So I was so stoked when they opened La Vic #2 on Santa Clara cuz my wife works across the street and we can grab lunches and dinners easily. Well, it's been there for over a year and I have never enjoyed the experience. I've tried several times, but something always is lacking. You don't get the portions they boast on their menu nor what is even normal. I get screwed on the plates, burritos and tortas every time. If this isn't enough the service is terrible. Once I called in an order at 4:30. Told them I would be there at 5 to get my order. At 5 I asked for my order. the place was empty, but they still hadn't started making my order. When I saw the chshier finally give my order to the cook I informed them that I was in a hurry and couldn't wait for them to now cook it. The cook glared like I slapped his mom and the cashier rolled her eyes and shrugged and walked away. all the service needs to do there is take your order, take your money and call your number when the order is up. No dice. The love to take you money, but pay no attention to what you actually ordered and constantly give you the wrong food. (don't call them on it though or you will get such attitude) Bottom line is that you pay too much at that La Vic to get such small portions and the attitude from the staff.
love the orange sauce – It's all about the orange sauce. It's best drenching the food: lots of it. I really like the atmosphere of this place: it's in an old Victorian style house. It can get crowded on Friday and Saturday nights and finding a table to sit at becomes a problem. But, I really like their carne asada quesadillas and their burritos. They don't have free drink refills tho.
Orange Sauce Contains Sausage Grease – Although the orange sauce is really popular, I recently heard it is made of chorizo sausage grease, mayo and chili. They won't tell you the ingredients, so most people don't know it is not vegetarain. Why order the vegetarian burrito, only to smother it with sausage grease? I am not even a vegetarian, however I just think this mixture is disgusting. People should know what they are eating!
La Vic was great! But not anymore. – I was at La Vic's the first day they opened their doors, and I love going there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I probably provided them with enough revenue to open the second branch in San Jose. Their food was home-made, authentic, and delicious. Things have changed from the good old days. They now try to nickel and dime me on every little thing and the quality of food has gone downhill. I still go there once in a while, just to see if I can get the same old feeling from before, but I have been dissapointed. The place is now ran by teenagers with no manners, and cooks who take 10~15 minutes to prepare bad taqueria food. Who waits that long at a taqueria? Who wants to pay $0.50 for nachos? The orange sauce is still delicious, but that is the only thing going for them. I hate to say this for a restaurant that has accompanied me through my tough times, but honestly, La ic cares more about quantity now than quality. I am sorry old friend, but I will no longer recommend my friends (including City Search readers) to you anymore.

"For some reason, Mr. Jackson is sporting a wig that looks damn near like Mitt Romney's haircut."
— From Nick Baumann's article, "GOP Resurrects Plan to Rig Electoral College."
Remember this. This happened. No matter how it was spun, it may very well have been Mitt Romney at his most honest, his most unguarded. It may very well be how he intends to govern as president.
Remember this.
15 Wild Celebrity Campaign Donations From the 2012 Election: Quentin Tarantino, A-Rod, Don Johnson, Mister Spock, Lisa Simpson, and more.
This seems like kind of a #microtargetingfail.
CHARTS: "While Romney's military advisory council may not resemble the armed forces' overall composition, it closely mirrors how much each respective service spends to buy stuff."
The ex-general who lost Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora, then bungled planning for war in Iraq, is endorsing Mitt Romney and would like to complain to you about Obama's four "years of feckless foreign policy." For serious.
Also, in his retirement, this general runs his own Leadership Institute and Museum out of a Hobart, Oklahoma, storefront. And he would like to sell you some "high performing mother cows" from his ranch, online at 4StarRanch.net. So you know he's good.
Oh, plus two other fundraisers put together by get-rich-quick donors who are being targeted by multiple state attorneys general for profiting from "free government money" schemes.
Romney Speech Raised Red Flags for Military School, Documents Show
A 68-page trove of internal emails obtained by Mother Jones shows that when Mitt Romney was given permission to speak on foreign policy at Virginia Military Institute, his campaign pushed VMI on multiple fronts to break its political neutrality, and VMI pushed back.
Members of Romney's staff sought to use the VMI logo in their campaign materials, requested that uniformed cadets be let out of class early to attend Romney's speech, and asked VMI "to select a few cadet veterans and give them a place of honor" standing behind Romney during his address. (VMI refused.)
"I am very concerned about this," VMI's top ethics officer wrote to her colleagues on the eve of the speech. "This is a campaign speech, arranged by a political campaign."
