The race and ethnic studies major takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of race and ethnicity — What do these categories of difference mean? How have they been defined, constructed, and applied in different socio-historic contexts? How do they intersect or overlap with other axes of difference (e.g., gender, class, nation, religion)? Exploring these questions with analytical tools and approaches developed in a range of academic disciplines, this major leads to a critical examination of many historical and contemporary social issues that arise from the institutionalization of race and ethnicity.
In all courses, the student's work should focus on issues of race and ethnicity whenever that is possible. Courses completed in race and ethnic studies apply to the humanities, social sciences, cultural pluralism, or fine arts distribution areas.
In addition to the 36 credits required for the major, the student will complete three courses totaling at least 11 credits of college-level study in a language other than his or her first language. Courses used to satisfy requirements in other majors or minors cannot also be used to satisfy the race and ethnic studies major or minor.
The Race and Ethnic Studies major will complete two foundational courses, a concentration designed with the adviser and approved by the Race and Ethnic Studies Steering Committee, a senior seminar and thesis, and elective courses totaling 36 credits and chosen such that the overall coursework is drawn from a minimum of three departments. Three courses in addition to the senior seminar and thesis must be at the 300 or 400 level; at least two of these must be taken at Whitman. No more than 12 credits earned in off-campus programs and transfer credit, nor more than four credits in independent study, may be used to satisfy the race and ethnic studies major requirements.
Foundation courses: General Studies 245, plus one other course centered on racial and ethnic analysis (English 376; History 268; History 371; Politics 259; Sociology 267; World Literature 320).
Concentration: Three courses from at least two disciplines (typically nine to 12 credits) defining focus of study in a topic or region, providing context for the thesis. Two of the three courses must be taken at Whitman, and independent study classes are not permitted. The concentration must be submitted to the Race and Ethnic Studies Steering Committee by the end of the week following Thanksgiving break in the fall semester of the junior year. Examples of regional concentrations include: race and ethnicity in Latin America, ethnicity and race in Africa, U.S. race and ethnic studies, African American studies, or race and ethnicity in South Asia. Examples of thematic or topical concentrations include: ethnicity and identity; race and gender; literary representations of race and ethnicity; race and class; ethnicity and nation; race, ethnicity, and nature; religion and ethnicity. The proposal must include a title, a list of the three courses proposed, and an explanation of how the courses fit together and complement each other.
Electives: Usually three courses chosen to complement the concentration, such that, in combination with foundational and concentration coursework, the student has worked in three disciplines overall. It is recommended that the student explore more than one geographic area.
Capstone: A senior seminar (four credits) in the fall, in which students discuss common readings and case studies and begin thesis research, and completion of thesis (two credits) in the spring. The oral portion of the major exam will begin with a thesis defense and proceed to a broader synthesis of the student's work in the major. Students will propose thesis topics to the Race and Ethnic Studies Steering Committee by midterm in the second semester of the junior year.
Language requirement (in addition to the 36 credits required for the major): The language requirement places value on the linguistic dimensions of difference and provides students with at least minimal direct exposure to this dimension. The student will complete three courses totaling at least 11 credits of college-level study in a language other than the student's first language. No more than two languages are allowed within the 11 credits. These credits may be earned at Whitman College, through transfer credit from accredited U.S. institutions of higher learning, or from a Whitman-approved study abroad program.
The Race and Ethnic Studies minor: The student completing a minor in race and ethnic studies will take General Studies 245, one of the foundation courses (see list below), and three elective courses chosen from the list of eligible courses. Courses used to satisfy requirements in other majors or minors cannot also be used to satisfy the race and ethnic studies major or minor.
- "Foundation" courses: courses incorporating race and ethnicity as central, defining issues:
General Studies 245 Critical Voices
English 376 Colonial and Anti-Colonial Literature
History 268 History of American Immigration and Ethnic Minorities
History 371 African American History
Politics 259 Politics of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion
Sociology 267 Race and Ethnic Group Relations
World Literature 320 Race, Trauma, Narrative - Race and ethnic studies courses: a list from which majors will draw concentration and elective courses in consultation with adviser and approved by committee.

100 Special Topics in Race and Ethnic Studies
Courses under this category explore selected topics in Race and Ethnic Studies at the introductory level. Any current offerings follow.
100 ST: Introduction to Race and Ethnic Studies
4, x Devine
This course provides students an introductory overview of the concepts and debates animating the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity. Using ethnography, film, novels, and primary texts, students will examine the emergence of race and ethnicity as categories during key historical moments like colonialism in the Americas, slavery and the African Diaspora, and immigration to the U.S. Students will also explore the ways in which race and ethnicity take shape in relation to categories of gender and class. The course introduces theories in the field and explores their relevance for contemporary debates surrounding immigration reform, overpopulation, and multiculturalism among other topics. Distribution area: cultural pluralism.
100 ST: Introduction to Radical Political Thought
x, 4 Walker
Recent political events from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street have sparked a renewed interest in the power and perils of radical politics. This course will introduce students to radical political thought through four major areas: Marxism; anarchism; race politics; and feminist and queer political theory. In studying these areas of radical thought, we will consider questions such as the following: What is the relationship between radical politics, democracy, and the state? What is the role of violence in radical political thought and action? We will also examine sources of, and motivations for, radical politics including religious traditions, experiences of race and gender, and ideals of justice and equality. Finally, we will turn to contemporary political movements to consider how theory can help explain, and perhaps even motivate or hinder, such movements. May be elected Gender Studies 110 or Politics 101. Distribution area: cultural pluralism or social sciences.
100B ST: Race and Nature
x, 4 Devine
What is the social history behind nature and wilderness? What explains the social and physical differences between people around the world? How do cultural practices impact the physical environment, and how is the physical landscape shaped by society in return? What is the relationship between population, development, and the environment? In answering these questions, students will explore the mutually defining relationships between race, culture, and nature. This class argues that differences between societies and environments found around the world are not the product of isolation, but in contrast, reflect shared global histories of colonialism, slavery, migration, food production, urbanization, and nuclear proliferation. We will critically interrogate simplistic understandings of racial difference and environmental degradation that breed stereotypes, xenophobia, and racism. This course is open to all students. Distribution area: cultural pluralism.
301 Special Topics in Race and Ethnic Studies
The course explores selected topics in race and ethnic studies. Any current offerings follow.
301 ST: Race and Ethnicity in Latin America
4, x Devine
This course explores how different ideas about race and ethnicity have shaped Latin American politics and societies from colonial times to the present. Race and ethnicity take on special meanings in Latin America where they are central to ideas about the nation. Using a comparative approach, students will familiarize themselves with the diverse racial ideologies found across Latin America, their historical formation and evolution, and their political implications today. Topics include the Spanish conquest, African slavery, postcolonial nation building, mestizaje, multiculturalism, indigenous social movements, and Guatemala's 2013 genocide trial. May be elected Anthropology 347. Distribution area: cultural pluralism.
301A ST: Race, Space, and Power
x, 4 Devine
Race infuses space. The built environment reflects previous race relations, and space structures race relations in return. This class starts from the premise that space confers power, and that spatial relations either reproduce or challenge existing race relations and hierarchies. Students will engage with spatial theory and Race and Ethnic Studies concepts to explore how space and race relations define one another. We then apply this framework to discuss the racial dynamics of cartography, urban planning, globalization, high-tech warfare, international development, and environmental conservation, among other topics. This class is global in scope and includes case studies from Thailand, the West Bank, the US/Mexico border, New York, and the greater Walla Walla area. This class is designed for junior and seniors. Sophomores and freshman are welcome, space permitting. May be elected as Anthropology 347B. Distribution area: cultural pluralism.
301B ST: Toursim, Identity and Politics
x, 4 Devine
The global tourism industry is a powerful agent of socio-spatial change that is inherently political. Students will explore the role tourism plays in driving globalization, commodifying culture, regulating people and capital's mobility, and defining national identity. Drawing on ethnography, film, literature, and travel writing, students will explore concepts like subject formation, exploitation, commodification, and grassroots development as they unfold in tourism performances and representations. Building on this firm theoretical foundation, this course has a strong practical component. Students will conclude the course by examining a variety of existing alternatives to traditional tourism that aim to promote social justice in the United States and across the Global South. This class is designed for junior and seniors. Sophomores and freshman are welcome, space permitting. May be elected as Politics 201, and Film and Media Studies 366. Distribution area: cultural pluralism.
490 Senior Seminar
4, x Simek
Taught by a race and ethnic studies faculty member with guest participation by others, this seminar is intended to engage senior majors in case studies focused on race and ethnicity. Readings, discussion, and papers, including a proposal for the thesis. Required of and limited to senior race and ethnic studies majors. (Fall degree candidates should plan to take this seminar at the latest possible opportunity.) Open to senior race and ethnic studies majors.
497 Thesis

I think it's time this offseason. He's built up some value and he'll be on a one year deal. Tho I like Sessions (advocated trading for him last season) he's not a starter for this team and IMO the 5 million he's owed would serve us better strengthening up another spot. There are vets who could come in and fill in at the backup PG at a much cheaper rate. Not saying it's Pargo...his stats with us right now are HIGHLY inflated over his career averages...but I wouldn't be averse to it being him on a vet min deal.
Time to cash in on an asset.
For any of you guys wanting Milsap or AlJeff I think Sessions would be a prime piece in a possible S&T.

About this blog FLEFF Intern VoicesThe Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view |
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Blog posting written by Hana Raskin, Communication Management and Design '12, FLEFF Intern, New York City
Welcome to my blog! This spring we will embark on a journey together, as we experience and explore all that the 2012 Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival has to offer.
My name is Hana Raskin and I am a senior at Ithaca College where I study Communication Management and Design. I am originally from the East Village, a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in New York City. My neighborhood has many claims to fame: "beat generation godfather" Allen Ginsberg lived in the East Village and used it as inspiration for many of his poems, and there were also the Tompkins Square Riots in 1988, which captured the neighborhood's struggle with pervasive gentrification.
Moving to Ithaca was difficult at first; it was hard to sleep at night without fire engines and bar fights serving as the backdrop to my dreams. However, I have grown to love this town and all it has to offer. Ithaca has provided me with a strong sense of community that I never had growing up. Community would be one of the main reasons I decided to become a FLEFF intern, besides of course, my love for film.
FLEFF brings together the Ithaca College campus community with the Downtown Ithaca community and then Ithaca with the global community. FLEFF looks past the subjective borders that separate us by bringing us together in a global conversation on sustainability, immigration and other pertinent environmental and human rights issues.
We have partners and collaborations around the world. The collaboration that I am most exited for is with Cinema Tropical, which presents Latin American cinema in the United States. In New York City, Cinema Tropical organized screenings of Amores Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien, which are two of my all-time favorite films!
My love for foreign films stems from my being an adventurer with a wanderlust spirit. I have studied in Argentina and Spain and have traveled to over 15 countries. During my most recent crazy trip, I took two 24-hour bus rides to spend two days in La Paz, Mexico. No regrets.
I have told you why I identify with Fleff, now I want to know why you do. What is it about FLEFF that connects to you and to your unique story?

I just want some feedback on my deadlift form. This is my final set of 5 of 240lbs which is a good amount of weight for me since I'm just getting back into deadlifting. I hope the view is good enough to see how I am set up and if I keep good form throughout the set.
Thanks guys!

Deadlift: ??
the angle sucks, cant tell a thing. your descent looks kind of sloppy... but once again, bad angle
Like he said, that angle is terrible. A side angle is better for deadlifts. From what I can see, it looks like you don't even really attempt to arch your back when you are setting up.
There's a lot wrong, including the gloves. Get a better angle and we can give more useful advice.
haha, i found the gloves in a box in the weight room and decided to use them because it was killing my hands. yeah yeah, i have soft hands. I will put up another video next week from the side, but does it honestly look that bad? Maybe I need to arch my lower back more, but I keep my back straight the entire time. I go slow on the descent because I'm not a fan of dropping the weight and I like to set up before each rep.
Age: 20

Bench: 235
Squat: ??
Deadlift: ??
We'll be able to tell alot more about your back tightness and arch with the video from the side.
The descent looks off. I believe putting the weight down should almost be like performing the lift in reverse. What you're doing is your first move is to bend at the knees instead of bending over at the waist/hips. You want to reverse this.

Replacing Community Pharmacists with envelopes and 1-800 Numbers Would Drive Up Human and Financial Costs of Health Care
May 28, 2009
(As submitted to Woman's Day)
To the Editor:
Mail-order medicine is far from a panacea for rising health care costs ("20 Smart Health Shortcuts," May 5, 2009).
It's been estimated that $177 billion is spent annually on hospital, physician and other treatments for inappropriate medication use. Swapping community pharmacists for envelopes and 1-800 numbers would almost certainly drive up the human and financial toll of adverse drug events.
Further, mail-order often winds up costing far more than medications dispensed by licensed pharmacists. The reason? Prescription drug plans are administered by pharmacy benefit managers, companies that charge plan sponsors (e.g. employers) enormous fees to run mail-order programs. Collectively, these costs dwarf a retail pharmacy's overhead and, ultimately, they are born by employers and patients in the form of higher insurance premiums.
Patients hoping to restrain drug costs should consult their community pharmacists, who see every day how families struggle to pay for essential medicines. They may be able to make recommendations to save patients money while ensuring they use their medications as safely and effectively as possible.

Under pressure to go public with the truth, Paul puts Summer's career in Susan's hands.
To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed.
Under pressure to go public with the truth, Paul puts Summer's career in Susan's hands.
what about when summer went behind tash's back and slept with andrew when andrew was with tash? andrew only kissed a random and summers mad!
Tash pisses me off...she says she wants a party and doesnt care what happens as long as everyone has fun and then moans when things get trashed.
i think neighbors is alright it can be boring at times but this week has been very good i think Paul is responsible and maybe tash for not stopping it hen it got out of hand aiden and cris really do suit but so would tash and cris they so close to each other in friendship way yeh i agree thts true she only left with her friends atching over her now
This episode of Neighbours was very good. Neighbours is not getting boring. My Opinion to the Paul situation is that it was a VERY stupid idea to set up that Facebook account to get people to Tash's party because you put Andrew & Sophie in a dangerous situation. As for Susan finding out was good but in Wednesday's episode she blackmails Paul. For Aidan: Chris is only helping a friend in need, Tash might be a spoilt brat but remember her mum's dead, her dad has run away with her aunt and she only has friends now!
The Sandman - I agree, there's been a few posts recently about a few of the cast member's hair do's. It's pretty distracting. I agree with the other posts on Chris and Tash being a good couple, Chris doesn't have the angst with Tash that he gets with Aiden (although Aiden is lovely) and in Chris Tash has someone who seems to get her. I don't hold much hope for Chris and Aiden though if there is always going to be the 3 of them... I'm a bit fed up of Sophie saying Awesome though!
Anyone else notice how Susan had a new haircut when she arrived at Paul's? Nice continuity department, really earning your money there.
@M, yeah i agree. I think Chris and Tash would be more suited together. But then again, Chris and Aiden are CUTEEE together! Also, it's not Andrew's fault. Summer was the one who came up the idea for the 'break'. And we all know what a break really means! How was Andrew supposed to know that Summer was gonna come back???
I am interested to know,how people found out Conrad Jacksons' Facebook page. Neighbours has got boring again.
Paul can be a right moron some times, jesus. Tash has no one to blame but herself for the outcome of her party.. Maybe Paul too. Glad Sophie is mellowing out as a character, got really sick and tired of the whiney constant shouting old Sophie. Feel sorry for Summer, Andrew made a grave mistake. All relationships are built on trust! I thought they'd be together forever 3 Wouldn't Chris and Tash make a perfect couple? I know Chris is with Aidan but they'd suit each other so much!
I think Chris and Aiden make a great couple so i was dismayed when Aiden lost his temper.But i could see Aidens point of view and i felt overjoyed and relieved when they made up. p.s. Paul deserves everything he gets.

George Thorogood (born February 24, 1950) is an American blues rock vocalist/guitarist from Wilmington, Delaware, United States, known for his hit song "Bad to the Bone" as well as for covers of blues standards such as Hank Williams' "Move It On Over," Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?" and "House Rent Boogie/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" by John Lee Hooker and Amos Milburn respectively.
George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers have released sixteen studio albums, including two that were certified Platinum, six that have been certified Gold, and have sold 15 million albums worldwide. The band's early success contributed to the rise of folk label Rounder Records.
Early life and family:
Thorogood was born on February 24, 1950 and was raised in Naamans Manor, a neighborhood in suburban Wilmington, Delaware, where his father worked for DuPont. He graduated from Brandywine High School in 1968. The singer was the middle of five children, including two older brothers, John and Pete, and two younger identical twin sisters, Liza and Anne. In the late 1970s, Thorogood played on a baseball team in Delaware in the semi-professional Roberto Clemente League, which was created in 1976. He was the second baseman and was chosen rookie of the year in the league. However, he turned toward music after seeing John P. Hammond perform in 1970. His first shows were in Lane Hall at the University of Delaware. By the late 1970s, success in the music industry led him to quit playing the sport and focus on music.
Music career:
Thorogood's demo, Better Than the Rest, was recorded in 1974, but would not be released until 1979. His major recording debut came in 1976 with the album: George Thorogood & The Destroyers, which was released in 1977. His band, The Destroyers was sometimes known as The Delaware Destroyers (or simply GT and D). In 1978, Thorogood released his next album with the Destroyers titled Move It On Over, which included the Hank Williams remake "Move It On Over". "Please Set a Date" and their remake of the Bo Diddley song "Who Do You Love?" both followed in 1979.
During the late 1970s, Thorogood and his band were based in Boston (see also Hound Dog Taylor). He was friends with Jimmy Thackery of the Washington, D.C.-based blues band, The Nighthawks. While touring in the 1970s, the Destroyers and the Nighthawks happened to be playing shows in Georgetown (DC) at venues across the street from each other. The Destroyers were engaged at The Cellar Door and the Nighthawks at Desperados. At midnight, by prior arrangement, while both bands played Elmore James' "Madison Blues" in the same key, Thorogood and Thackery left their clubs, met in the middle of M Street, exchanged guitar patch cords and went on to play with the opposite band in the other club. The connection with the Nighthawks was extended further, when Nighthawks bass player Jan Zukowski supported Thorogood's set at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, PA on July 13, 1985.
Thorogood gained his first mainstream exposure as a support act for The Rolling Stones during their 1981 U.S. tour. He also was the featured musical guest on Saturday Night Live (Season 8, Episode 2) on the October 2, 1982 broadcast. During this time, Thorogood and the Destroyers also became known for their rigorous touring schedule, including the "50/50" tour of 1981, on which the band toured 50 US states in the space of 50 days. After two shows in Boulder, Colorado, Thorogood and his band flew to Hawaii for one show and then performed a show in Alaska on the following night. The next day the band flew to Washington State, met their roadies who had their Checker car and a truck, and continued a one show per state tour for all fifty states in exactly fifty nights. In addition, they played Washington, D.C. on the same day that they performed a show in Maryland.
This increased visibility occurred as Thorogood's contract with Rounder Records expired. He signed with EMI America Records and in 1982 released his best-known song, "Bad to the Bone", and an album of the same name. The song has been used frequently in television and film, including the television drama Miami Vice, the sci-fi thriller Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the animated cartoon Alvin and the Chipmunks, the comedies Problem Child, and Problem Child 2, Stephen King's Christine, and many episodes of the television sitcom Married... with Children. This track also was used during the intro to the movie Major Payne also used in the 1988 drama film Talk Radio. The same song is also featured in the game Rock 'n Roll Racing. It is also played during football pregame festivities at Mississippi State University and at USHRA Monster Jam events to introduce Grave Digger (regardless of driver). "Bad to the Bone" was used for the 1984 Buick Grand National advertisements. Thorogood's version of "Who Do You Love?" is played in all Samuel Adams beer commercials.
In 2012, Thorogood was named one of The 50 Most Influential Delawareans of the Past 50 Years.

May I suggest that you change the title of this post to add the word "Index" .
The entire US census collection will not be free - only the index as you stated in the text.

Southend United sign Danny Mayor on loan from Sheffield Wednesday
6:20pm Tuesday 12th February 2013 in Blues By Chris Phillips
SOUTHEND United have signed Danny Mayor on a month long loan from Sheffield Wednesday.
The 21-year-old year-old winger has joined Blues for an initial 28 days with the option of extending the deal until the end of the season.
And he looks set to make his Southend debut in tonight's League Two clash against Cheltenham Town at Roots Hall.
"We're very pleased to have brought Danny in to the club," said Blues boss Paul Sturrock.
"He gives us more options in the midfield area and, having played at a higher level, he's someone who I think will do well for us while he's here."
Mayor started his career with Preston North End and made 77 appearances for the Lilywhites, scoring three goals.
The winger also made three appearances during a loan spell with Tranmere Rovers in January 2009 before he joined Sheffield Wednesday at the start of the current campaign.
Since then, Mayor has played nine times for the Owls but he has made the starting line-up just once and is now keen to taste first team football on a more regular basis with Southend.
Mayor is also able to play in next Wednesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash against Leyton Orient.

his is an important message from the National Coalition of Cancer Survivors. Do take a minute to read it and make a call.
It takes just THREE phone calls in one day to make a difference on an issue. Members of Congress work on multiple bills during each session, and with just a few phone calls to a representative asking for support on the Comprehensive Cancer Care Improvement Act (CCCIA), we can make cancer care a priority. So don't sit on the sidelines and assume others will take action - YOU can make a difference!
Having a written survivorship care plan puts you in a better position to advocate for your own care!
Rep. Lois Capps and Rep. Charles Boustany have re-introduced the CCCIA, which calls for better coordination of care and improved communication between patients and their healthcare teams before, during, and after treatment. The CCCIA would encourage healthcare providers to create a written survivorship care plan and to discuss this plan with their patients at the beginning and end of primary treatment.
Last year your representative was a co-sponsor of this important legislation and we need that support again to move forward!
Survivorship care plans include three parts:
Calling your representative to support quality cancer care is quick and easy! Click on the link below to begin.
NCCS advocates for quality cancer care for all Americans and provides tools that empower people affected by cancer to advocate for themselves. Founded by and for cancer survivors in 1986, NCCS created the widely accepted definition of survivorship and considers someone a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis through the balance of life. Its free publications and resources include the award-winning Cancer Survival Toolbox®, a self-learning audio program created by leading cancer organizations to help people develop essential skills to meet the challenges of their illness. More information is available at www.canceradvocacy.org or 1-888-650-9127.

The Rock Grants a Wish, Marine 3 Casting Update, Cena Talks Lesnar
- In the pre-WrestleMania 28 press conference video below from Brian Fritz of BetweentheRopes.com, John Cena was asked about the rumors of Brock Lesnar returning to WWE:
[vsw id="5BCmmCRDAvE" source="youtube" width="425" height="344" autoplay="no"]
- The Rock met a boy named Thomas and his family from Make-A-Wish in Miami on Monday night before the RAW Supershow. WWE.com has photos of The Rock granting Thomas's wish.
- WWE Champion CM Punk, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, JTG and Kofi Kingston have all been rumored to replace Randy Orton in WWE's The Marine 3. Because the movie is co-promoted with 20th Century Fox, WWE wants a big named star in the movie and the number of guys at or near Orton's level are limited. The movie begins filming in June so we should hear something soon.
- We should have some new information for you on WWE's Extreme Rules 2012 in the coming days. The PPV takes place on April 29th from the AllState Arena in Chicago, Illinois.
