Born Aug. 25, 1968 in Cape Cod, MA, Ray was raised in a world of food. Her family owned a restaurant where Ray learned tricks of the trade by watching her mother, Elsa Scuderi, work magic in the kitchen. One of Ray's earliest memories was burning herself at age three while imitating her mother cooking with a spatula. She and sister Maria and brother Emmanuel (Manny) performed every job in the restaurant - from busing tables to washing dishes. The family soon relocated to New York where her mom worked as food supervisor for a chain of upstate restaurants.
Eventually, Ray landed a job at NYC's Macy's Marketplace - first at the candy counter and then as manager of the fresh food department. After leaving Macy's, Ray helped open Agata & Valentina - a renowned gourmet food marketplace in the city. She eventually served as manager and buyer for the establishment, but yearned to move away from the hustle and bustle to the quieter Adirondacks. Once relocated upstate, she managed several pubs and restaurants at Sagamore Resort on Lake George. Cowan & Lobel, a large gourmet market in Albany, took notice and hired Ray to be their food buyer. As a way to pad the pocketbook during the holidays, Ray instructed cooking classes, calling them "30-Minute Meals." During these classes, the self-effacing cook taught in three hour blocks, featuring her own 30-minute recipes and using basic food ingredients - even cheating by using pre-packaged mixes and sauces as ways to cut financial corners.
It was her ability to connect with people one-on-one in this normally intimidating environment that first got her noticed on a grander scale. The classes became so popular that local Albany media covered her instructions and found her up-beat, down-to-earth personality a plus with viewers. A local TV news station featured "30-Minute Meals" on their evening news program to such great success, that not only did it win two regional Emmys and spawn a successful local cookbook, that even "The Today Show" took notice. Jane Pauley's request for Ray's turkey chili recipe was an early career highlight for the emerging chef in 2001.
It was only natural that The Food Network would come calling, offering the now-validated Ray her own show in 2001. The rest is culinary history. Ray's first offering - not unlike her cooking class that started it all - "30-Minute Meals" (2002- ) became such a success by viewers put off by the intricacies of cooking a la "Iron Chef," that more programs would soon follow. Ray next helmed "$40 a Day" (2002 - ) where she vacationed around the world, showing travelers how to eat well on a small budget in even the most expensive cities. This was followed by "Inside Dish" (2004- ) where she visited celebs to discuss their favorite foods. Her latest offering - "Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels" (2005 - ) further drove home her main point - you do not have to have tons of money to live a good, healthy life. This message was not lost by average viewers who tuned in en mass to watch her bubbly, ditzy personality (all food was "Delish!") and to latch on to "Racheal-isms" - her excitable abbreviations (EVOO: Extra Virgin Olive Oil or TWO TURNS OF THE PAN) while whipping up You-won't-be-Single-for-Long Vodka Crème Pasta or Devilish Chili Cheese Dogs.
Wanting to expand her influence, Ray, known for writing 600 recipes a year, authored numerous cookbooks in the last few years, including Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Meals: Cooking 'Round the Clock, The Open House Cookbook, Comfort Foods, Veggie Meals and Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats--A Year of Deliciously Different Dinners.
The Rachael Ray phenomenon continued when she posed for FHM's US version in October, 2003, licking chocolate off the spoon clad only in lingerie. The photo - and no doubt the inevitable connection between food and sex - helped land her on the magazine's "100 Sexiest Women of 2004" poll. When she promoted Wusthof's Santoku knife, sales skyrocketed enough that she decided to promote her own line of cutlery. Ray even appeared in a 2003 Burger King commercial, promoting a chicken sandwich because, well, she actually liked it. Gourmet chefs shuddered yet again, but Ray stayed true to herself and her audience. Love her or hate her, this ability to see the bigger picture had served her well in a brief period of time by anyone's standards.
With success of this kind, came the inevitable detractors. Professional chefs and elitist food critics cried foul each time Rachael reached for a box of Bisquick. Entire blogs, including "Rachael Ray Sucks" sprung up on the internet. Regardless of these critics, Ray knew her message was being driven home when strangers began stopping her on the street to offer their own quickie recipes and thanking her for understanding their situations as working moms and dads with little spare time. Because Ray's ingredients could all be bought at the average grocery store, everyone could try the recipes at home to great success. And they did.
Although often described as "the anti-Martha" (a plaque reading "Martha Stewart doesn't live here" hangs in her Adirondacks' home), Ray recently launched her first bi-monthly magazine called Every Day with Rachael Ray. And landing the dream of all who wish to move to the next level of fame and success in American pop culture, Ray inked a deal with Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions for her first daily TV talk show.

Oliver La Farge
Oliver La Farge | |
Born | Oliver Hazard Perry La Farge December 19, 1901 New York City, New York, U.S. |
Died | August 2, 1963 Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S. |
(aged 61)
Occupation | Novelist, anthropologist |
Nationality | American |
Oliver Hazard Perry La Farge (December 19, 1901 – August 2, 1963) was an American writer and anthropologist, best known for his 1930 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Laughing Boy.
Named for his uncle, Oliver H.P. La Farge, he was the grandson of the artist and stained-glass pioneer John La Farge, and his wife Margaret Mason Perry. Her father was Christopher Grant Perry, the son of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and Elizabeth Champlin Mason. He was a descendant of Gov. Thomas Prence (1599 - March 29, 1673) a co-founder of Eastham, Massachusetts, a political leader in both the Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies, and governor of Plymouth (1634, 1638, and 1657–1673); and Elder William Brewster (pilgrim), (c. 1567 - April 10, 1644), the Pilgrim leader and spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony and a passenger on the Mayflower.
His great-grandmother was Frances Sergeant who was the daughter of Chief Justice Thomas Sergeant and Sarah Bache, the daughter of Sarah Franklin Bache and Richard Bache. Frances was a great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and Deborah Read.
He was the son of the noted Beaux-Arts architect Christopher Grant La Farge, and father of the folksinger and painter Peter La Farge.
La Farge's short stories were published in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines. His more notable works, fiction and non-fiction, concern Native American culture.
Personal life[edit]
La Farge was born in New York City the son of Christopher Grant La Farge and Florence Bayard Lockwood, the niece of Senator Thomas F. Bayard. He was named for his ancestor Oliver Hazard Perry and his uncle, architect Oliver H.P. La Farge I. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University during 1924 and a Master's Degree from the same university in 1929. A member of the university rowing team, he rowed as captain of a men's eight-oared shell.
La Farge, a Newport, Rhode Island New Englander whose grandfather was of French descent and whose other ancestors included English colonists and (allegedly) Narragansett American Indians, was an anthropologist who discovered two previously unknown languages while on scientific expeditions to Central America and the American Southwest. He is well known for his pioneering visit, with Frans Blom during 1925, to Mexico and what has since become known as the Olmec heartland, (re)discovering San Martin Pajapan Monument 1 and, most importantly, the ruins of La Venta, one of the major Olmec centers.
La Farge also spent much of his adult life championing American Indian rights and was president of the Association on American Indian Affairs for several years.
His published work included several scientific papers and non-fiction books, as well as several novels and a column for the Santa Fe newspaper The New Mexican. Some of his columns were released in book form under the title The Man With the Calabash Pipe.
La Farge had two children by his first wife, heiress Wanden Matthews: a son, Oliver Albee La Farge, and a daughter, Povy; and another son, John Pendaries "Pen" La Farge, by his second wife, Consuelo Baca de La Farge. His 1956 book Behind the Mountains was based on the reminiscences of Consuelo's family, who were ranchers in northern New Mexico. After La Farge and Matthews divorced in 1935, Oliver Albee changed his name to Peter La Farge and became a Greenwich Village folksinger with five Folkways Records albums.
La Farge died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1963.

The University of Chicago (U of C, UChicago, or simply Chicago) is a private research university in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The university consists of the College of the University of Chicago, various graduate programs and interdisciplinary committees organized into four divisions, six professional schools, and a school of continuing education. The university enrolls approximately 5,000 students in the College and about 15,000 students overall. The University of Chicago is consistently ranked among the world's top 10 universities.[6][7][8] The university tied with Stanford University for 5th place in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report "Best National Universities Rankings".[9]
University of Chicago scholars have played a major role in the development of various academic disciplines, including: the Chicago school of economics, the Chicago school of sociology, the law and economics movement in legal analysis,[10] the Chicago school of literary criticism, the Chicago school of religion,[11] the school of political science known as behavioralism,[12] and in the physics leading to the world's first man-made, self-sustaining nuclear reaction.[13] The university is also home to the University of Chicago Press, the largest university press in the United States.[14]
The University of Chicago is affiliated with 89 Nobel Laureates (including 10 current faculty),[15] 49 Rhodes Scholars[16] and 9 Fields Medalists.[17] It was founded by the American Baptist Education Society with a donation from oil magnate and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller and incorporated in 1890. William Rainey Harper became the university's first president in 1891, and the first classes were held in 1892.
The University of Chicago was created and incorporated as a coeducational,[18] secular institution in 1890 by the American Baptist Education Society and a donation from oil magnate and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller on land donated by Marshall Field.[19] Organized as an independent institution legally, it replaced the first Baptist university of the same name, which had closed in 1886 due to extended financial and leadership problems.[20] William Rainey Harper became the modern university's first president on July 1, 1891, and the university opened for classes on October 1, 1892.[20]
The business school was founded in 1898,[21] and the law school was founded in 1902.[22] Harper died in 1906,[23] and was replaced by a succession of three presidents whose tenures lasted until 1929.[24] During this period, the Oriental Institute was founded to support and interpret archeological work in what was then called the Near East.[25]
In the 1890s, the University of Chicago, fearful that its vast resources would injure smaller schools by drawing away good students, affiliated with several regional colleges and universities: Des Moines College, Kalamazoo College, Butler College, and Stetson University. Under the terms of the affiliation, the schools were required to have courses of study comparable to those at the University, to notify the university early of any contemplated faculty appointments or dismissals, to make no faculty appointment without the university's approval, and to send copies of examinations for suggestions. The University of Chicago agreed to confer a degree on any graduating senior from an affiliated school who made a grade of A for all four years, and on any other graduate who took twelve weeks additional study at the University of Chicago. A student or faculty member of an affiliated school was entitled to free tuition at the University of Chicago, and Chicago students were eligible to attend an affiliated school on the same terms and receive credit for their work. The University of Chicago also agreed to provide affiliated schools with books and scientific apparatus and supplies at cost; special instructors and lecturers without cost except travel expenses; and a copy of every book and journal published by the University of Chicago Press at no cost. The agreement provided that either party could terminate the affiliation on proper notice. Several University of Chicago professors disliked the program, as it involved uncompensated additional labor on their part, and they believed it cheapened the academic reputation of the University. The program passed into history by 1910.[26]
In 1929, the university's fifth president, Robert Maynard Hutchins, took office; the university underwent many changes during his 24-year tenure. Hutchins eliminated varsity football from the university in an attempt to emphasize academics over athletics,[27] instituted the undergraduate college's liberal-arts curriculum known as the Common Core,[28] and organized the university's graduate work into its current[when?] four divisions.[27] In 1933, Hutchins proposed an unsuccessful plan to merge the University of Chicago and Northwestern University into a single university.[29] During his term, the University of Chicago Hospitals (now called the University of Chicago Medical Center) finished construction and enrolled its first medical students.[30] Also, the Committee on Social Thought, an institution distinctive of the university, was created.
Money that had been raised during the 1920s and financial backing from the Rockefeller Foundation helped the school to survive through the Great Depression.[27] During World War II, the university made important contributions to the Manhattan Project.[31] The university was the site of the first isolation of plutonium and of the creation of the first artificial, self-sustained nuclear reaction by Enrico Fermi in 1942.[31][32]
In the early 1950s, student applications declined as a result of increasing crime and poverty in the Hyde Park neighborhood. In response, the university became a major sponsor of a controversial urban renewal project for Hyde Park, which profoundly affected both the neighborhood's architecture and street plan.[33]
The university experienced its share of student unrest during the 1960s, beginning in 1962, when students occupied President George Beadle's office in a protest over the university's off-campus rental policies. In 1969, more than 400 students, angry about the dismissal of a popular professor, Marlene Dixon, occupied the Administration Building for two weeks. After the sit-in ended, when Dixon turned down a one-year reappointment, 42 students were expelled and 81 were suspended,[34] the most severe response to student occupations of any American university during the student movement.[35]
In 1978, Hanna Holborn Gray, then the provost and acting president of Yale University, became President of the University of Chicago, a position she held for 15 years.[36]
In 1999, then-President Hugo Sonnenschein announced plans to relax the university's famed core curriculum, reducing the number of required courses from 21 to 15. When The New York Times, The Economist, and other major news outlets picked up this story, the university became the focal point of a national debate on education. The changes were ultimately implemented, but the controversy played a role in Sonnenschein's decision to resign in 2000.[37]
In the past decade, the university began a number of multi-million dollar expansion projects. In 2008, the University of Chicago announced plans to establish the Milton Friedman Institute which attracted both support and controversy from faculty members and students.[38][39][40][41][42] The institute will cost around $200 million and occupy the buildings of the Chicago Theological Seminary. During the same year, investor David G. Booth donated $300 million to the university's Booth School of Business, which is the largest gift in the university's history and the largest gift ever to any business school.[43] In 2009, planning or construction on several new buildings, half of which cost $100 million or more, was underway.[44]
Since 2009, a two-billion dollar campaign has brought substantial expansion to the campus, including the unveiling of the Max Palevsky Residential Commons, the South Campus Residence Hall, the Gerald Ratner Athletics Center, a new hospital, and a new science building. Since 2011, major construction projects have included the Jules and Gwen Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery, a ten-story medical research center, and further additions to the medical campus of the University of Chicago Medical Center.[45]
The main campus of the University of Chicago consists of 211 acres (85.4 ha) in the Chicago neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Woodlawn, seven miles (11 km) south of downtown Chicago. The northern and southern portions of campus are separated by the Midway Plaisance, a large, linear park created for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. In 2011, Travel+Leisure listed the university as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States.[46]
The first buildings of the University of Chicago campus, which make up what is now known as the Main Quadrangles, were part of a "master plan" conceived by two University of Chicago trustees and plotted by Chicago architect Henry Ives Cobb.[47] The Main Quadrangles consist of six quadrangles, each surrounded by buildings, bordering one larger quadrangle.[48] The buildings of the Main Quadrangles were designed by Cobb, Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, Holabird & Roche, and other architectural firms in a mixture of the Victorian Gothic and Collegiate Gothic styles, patterned on the colleges of the University of Oxford.[47] (Mitchell Tower, for example, is modeled after Oxford's Magdalen Tower,[49] and the university Commons, Hutchinson Hall, replicates Christ Church Hall.[50])
After the 1940s, the Gothic style on campus began to give way to self-consciously modern styles.[47] In 1955, Eero Saarinen was contracted to develop a second master plan, which led to the construction of buildings both north and south of the Midway, including the Laird Bell Law Quadrangle (a complex designed by Saarinen);[47] a series of arts buildings;[47] a building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the university's School of Social Service Administration;,[47] a building which is to become the home of the Harris School of Public Policy Studies by Edward Durrell Stone, and the Regenstein Library, the largest building on campus, a brutalist structure designed by Walter Netsch of the Chicago firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.[51] Another master plan, designed in 1999 and updated in 2004,[52] produced the Gerald Ratner Athletics Center (2003),[52] the Max Palevsky Residential Commons (2001),[47] South Campus Residence Hall and dining commons (2009), a new children's hospital,[53] and other construction, expansions, and restorations.[54] In 2011, the university completed the glass dome-shaped Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, which provides a grand reading room for the university library and eliminates the need for an off-campus book depository.
The site of Chicago Pile-1 is a National Historic Landmark and is marked by the Henry Moore sculpture Nuclear Energy.[55] Robie House, a Frank Lloyd Wright building acquired by the university in 1963, is also a National Historic Landmark,[56] as is room 405 of the George Herbert Jones Laboratory, where Glenn T. Seaborg and his team were the first to isolate plutonium.[57] Hitchcock Hall, an undergraduate dormitory, is on the National Register of Historic Places.[58]

Satellite campuses[edit]
The University of Chicago also maintains facilities apart from its main campus. The university's Booth School of Business maintains campuses in Singapore, London, and the downtown Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago. The Center in Paris, a campus located on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, hosts various undergraduate and graduate study programs.[61] The University of Chicago also opened a center in Beijing in fall 2010.
Administration and finances[edit]
The University of Chicago is governed by a board of trustees. The Board of Trustees oversees the long-term development and plans of the university and manages fundraising efforts, and is composed of 50 members including the university President.[62] Directly beneath the President are the Provost, fourteen Vice Presidents (including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Dean of Students of the university), the Directors of Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab, the Secretary of the university, and the Student Ombudsperson.[63] As of August 2009[update], the Chairman of the Board of Trustees is Andrew Alper,[64] and the President of the university is Robert Zimmer. In December 2013 it was announced that the Director of Argonne National Laboratory, Eric Isaacs, would become Provost.
The university's endowment was the 12th largest among American educational institutions and state university systems in 2013[65] and as of 2012[update] was valued at $6.571 billion.[2]

The academic bodies of the University of Chicago consist of the College, four divisions of graduate research, six professional schools, and the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies (a continuing education school). The university also contains a library system, the University of Chicago Press, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, and the University of Chicago Medical Center, and holds ties with a number of independent academic institutions, including Fermilab and Argonne National Laboratory. The university is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[73]
The university runs on a quarter system in which the academic year is divided into four terms: Summer (June–August), Autumn (September–December), Winter (January–March), and Spring (April–June).[74] Full-time undergraduate students take three to four courses every quarter[75] for approximately eleven weeks before their quarterly academic breaks. The school year typically begins in late September and ends in mid-June.[74]
Undergraduate college[edit]
The College of the University of Chicago grants Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in 50 academic majors[76] and 28 minors.[77] The college's academics are divided into five divisions: the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division, the Physical Sciences Collegiate Division, the Social Sciences Collegiate Division, the Humanities Collegiate Division, and the New Collegiate Division.[78] The first four are sections within their corresponding graduate divisions, while the New Collegiate Division administers interdisciplinary majors and studies which do not fit in one of the other four divisions.[79]
Undergraduate students are required to take a distribution of courses to satisfy the university's core curriculum known as the Common Core. In 2012-2013, the Core classes at Chicago were limited to 17 students, and are generally led by a full-time professor (as opposed to a teaching assistant).[80] As of the 2013–2014 school year, 15 courses and demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language are required under the Core.[81] Undergraduate courses at the University of Chicago are known for their demanding standards, heavy workload and academic difficulty; according to Uni in the USA, "Among the academic cream of American universities – Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, and the University of Chicago – it is UChicago that can most convincingly claim to provide the most rigorous, intense learning experience."[82]
Graduate schools and committees[edit]
The university graduate schools and committees are divided into four divisions: Biological Sciences, Humanities, Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences. In the spring quarter of 2009, the university enrolled 3,633 graduate students: 485 in the Biological Sciences Division, 1,076 in the Humanities Division, 732 in the Physical Sciences Division, and 1,340 in the Social Sciences Division.[83]
The university is home to several committees for interdisciplinary scholarship, including the Committee on Social Thought.
Professional schools[edit]
The university contains six professional schools: the Pritzker School of Medicine (which is a part of the Biological Sciences Division), the Booth School of Business, the Law School, the Divinity School, the Harris School of Public Policy Studies, and the School of Social Service Administration (SSA). The total enrollment for these six professional schools was 5,086 students in the 2009 spring quarter: 2,878 students in the business school, 344 in the Divinity School, 452 in the medical school, 269 in the Harris School, 494 in SSA, and 649 in the Law School.[83]
The Law School is accredited by the American Bar Association, the Divinity School is accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, Pritzker is accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.[73]
Associated academic institutions[edit]
The university runs a number of academic institutions and programs apart from its undergraduate and postgraduate schools. It operates the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools (a private day school for K-12 students and day care),[84] the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School (a residential treatment program for those with behavioral and emotional problems),[85] and four public charter schools on the South Side of Chicago administered by the university's Urban Education Institute.[86] In addition, the Hyde Park Day School, a school for students with learning disabilities, maintains a location on the University of Chicago campus.[87] Since 1983, the University of Chicago has maintained the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, a mathematics program used in urban primary and secondary schools.[88] The university runs a program called the Council on Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences and Humanities, which administers interdisciplinary workshops to provide a forum for graduate students, faculty, and visiting scholars to present scholarly work in progress.[89] The university also operates the University of Chicago Press, the largest university press in the United States.[14]
Library system[edit]
The University of Chicago Library system encompasses six libraries[90] that contain a total of 8.5 million volumes, the 12th most among library systems in the United States.[91] The largest of the university's libraries is the Regenstein Library, which is the largest collection of print volumes in the United States, completed in 2010.[92][93] The John Crerar Library contains more than 1.3 million volumes in the biological, medical and physical sciences and collections in general science and the philosophy and history of science, medicine, and technology.[94] The university also operates a number of special libraries, including the D'Angelo Law Library, the Social Service Administration Library, and the Eckhart Library for mathematics and computer science, which closed temporarily for renovation on July 8, 2013.[90][95]
In fiscal year 2006, the University of Chicago spent US$305,301,000 on scientific research.[96] It is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as an institution with "very high research activity"[97] and is a founding member of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and the Association of American Universities.
The university operates 12 research institutes and 113 research centers on campus.[98] Among these are the Oriental Institute—a museum and research center for Near Eastern studies owned and operated by the university—and a number of National Resource Centers, including the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Chicago also operates or is affiliated with a number of research institutions apart from the university proper. The university partially manages Argonne National Laboratory, part of the United States Department of Energy's national laboratory system, and has a joint stake in Fermilab, a nearby particle physics laboratory, as well as a stake in the Apache Point Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico. Faculty and students at the adjacent Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago collaborate with the university,[99] In 2013, the University announced that it was affiliating the formerly independent Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass.[100] Although formally unrelated, the National Opinion Research Center is located on Chicago's campus.
The University of Chicago has been the site of some important experiments and academic movements. In economics, the university has played an important role in shaping ideas about the free market[101] and is the namesake of the Chicago school of economics, the school of economic thought supported by Milton Friedman and other economists. The university's sociology department was the first independent sociology department in the United States and gave birth to the Chicago school of sociology.[102] In physics, the university was the site of the Chicago Pile-1 (the first self-sustained man-made nuclear reaction, part of the Manhattan Project), of Robert Millikan's oil-drop experiment that calculated the charge of the electron,[103] and of the development of radiocarbon dating.[104]
The UChicago Arts program joins academic departments and programs in the Division of the Humanities and the College, as well as professional organizations including the Court Theatre, the Oriental Institute, the Smart Museum of Art, the Renaissance Society, University of Chicago Presents, and student arts organizations. The university has an artist-in-residence program and scholars in performance studies, contemporary art criticism, and film history. It has offered a doctorate in music composition since 1933 and in Cinema & Media studies since 2000, a master of fine arts in visual arts (early 1970s), and a master of arts in the humanities with a creative writing track (2000). It has bachelor's degree programs in visual arts, music, and art history, and, more recently, Cinema & Media studies (1996) and theater & performance studies (2002). The College's general education core includes a "dramatic, music, and visual arts" requirement, requiring students to study the history of the arts, stage desire, or begin working with sculpture. Several thousand major and non-major undergraduates enroll annually in creative and performing arts classes.[105] The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts opened in October 2012, five years after a $35 million gift from alumnus David Logan and his wife Reva. The center includes spaces for exhibitions, performances, classes, and media production.
There have been 87 Nobel Laureates affiliated with the University of Chicago,[106] 17 of whom were pursuing research or on faculty at the university at the time of the award announcement.[107]
In addition, many Chicago alumni and scholars have won the Fulbright awards[108] and 49 have matriculated as Rhodes Scholars.[109]

Student body[edit]
In the 2012 Spring Quarter, the University of Chicago enrolled 5,122 students in the College, 3444 students in its four graduate divisions, 5020 students in its professional schools, and 14,013 students overall.[112] In the 2012 Spring Quarter, international students comprised almost 19% of the overall study body, over 26% of students were domestic ethnic minorities,[110] and about 44% of enrolled students were female.[113] The middle 50% band of SAT scores for the undergraduate class of 2015, excluding the writing section, was 1420–1530,[114] the average MCAT score for entering students in the Pritzker School of Medicine in 2011 was 36,[115] and the median LSAT score for entering students in the Law School in 2011 was 171.[116]
In 2004, the University of Chicago claimed 133,155 living alumni.[117]
Notable alumni in the field of government and politics include community organizer Saul Alinsky, Obama campaign advisor David Axelrod, Attorney General and federal judge Robert Bork, Attorney General Ramsay Clark, former Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine, Prohibition agent Eliot Ness, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, Prime Minister of Canada William Lyon Mackenzie King and World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz,former minister of economy and finance in Haiti Leslie Delatour.

The University of Chicago hosts 19 varsity sports teams: 10 men's teams and 9 women's teams,[118] all called the Maroons, with 585 students participating in the 2008–2009 school year.[118]
The Maroons compete in the NCAA's Division III as members of the University Athletic Association (UAA). The university was a founding member of the Big Ten Conference and participated in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball and Football and was a regular participant in the Men's Basketball tournament. In 1935, the University of Chicago reached the Sweet Sixteen.[118] However, the university chose to withdraw from the conference in 1946 after University President Robert Maynard Hutchins de-emphasized varsity athletics in 1939 and dropped football.[119] (In 1969, Chicago reinstated football as a Division III team, resuming playing its home games at the new Stagg Field.)
Student life[edit]
Student organizations[edit]
Students at the University of Chicago run over 400 clubs and organizations known as Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs).[120][121] These include cultural and religious groups, academic clubs and teams, and common-interest organizations.[121] Among notable RSOs are the nation's longest continuously running student film society Doc Films, organizing committee for the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, the twice-weekly student newspaper The Chicago Maroon, the alternative weekly student newspaper the Chicago Weekly, the nation's second oldest continuously running student improvisational theater troupe Off-Off Campus, and the university-owned radio station WHPK-FM.
Fraternities and sororities[edit]
There are fifteen fraternities and seven sororities at the University of Chicago,[122] as well as one co-ed community service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega.[123] Four of the sororities are members of the National Panhellenic Conference,[124] and ten of the fraternities form the University of Chicago Interfraternity Council.[125] In 2002, the Associate Director of Student Activities estimated that 8–10 percent of undergraduates were members of fraternities or sororities.[124] The student activities office has used similar figures, stating that one in ten undergraduates participate in Greek life.[122]
Student housing[edit]
On-campus undergraduate students at the University of Chicago participate in a house system in which each student is assigned to one of the university's 10 residence hall buildings and to a smaller community within their residence hall called a "house". There are 35 houses, with an average of 70 students in each house[126] Freshmen are required to participate in the house system, and housing is guaranteed every year thereafter.[127] About 60% of undergraduate students live on campus.[127]
For graduate students, the university owns and operates 28 apartment buildings near campus.[128]
Every May since 1987, the University of Chicago has held the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, in which large teams of students compete to obtain notoriously esoteric items from a list.[129] Since 1963, the Festival of the Arts (FOTA) takes over campus for 7–10 days of exhibitions and interactive artistic endeavors.[130] The university also annually holds a summer carnival and concert called Summer Breeze that hosts outside musicians, and is home to Doc Films, a student film society founded in 1932 that screens films nightly at the university. Since 1946, the university has organized the Latke-Hamantash Debate, which involves humorous discussions about the relative merits and meanings of Latke and Hamantash.

Why Was This Cancelled!?!
Okay, I know I'm gonna piss some people off, but here goes:
I was just flipping through the channels today, and managed to catch a couple episodes of ENTERPRISE on Sci-Fi. And, after not having watched it in a long time, I can safely say I had forgotten how truly AWESOME it is!
Now to explain why I like Enterprise as much as I do, because after TOS and TNG, it is my favorite STAR TREK series ever made. And here's why:
THE CREW: OMG, they are PERFECT! A crew this good hasn't come out since TNG, and I mean that 100%. Archer is obviously an honest-to-goodness explorer, with the heart of Picard and the rough-and-tumble nature of Kirk. T'pol is pretty much a female Spock, which means she's a GREAT character. Trip, oh good Lord, is AWESOME, the best Engineer since Scotty, if only because of how much like Scotty he is, with all the loveable county humor of Bones. Everyone else is perfect merely for being new and fresh, after a series of not-so-fresh characters.
THE SHIP: IT'S THE F***ING ENTERPRISE!!! Finally, we have a show that brings back the big 'E'. True, the design is different (and a cool design I must say, despite sharing similarities with the Akira-class) but the name is the same. It fits, and to me, Star Trek isn't Star Trek without a starship named Enterprise.
THE STORY: I think the idea of a story about "how it all came to be" was incredible, very original, and better than any idea that either you or I could have thought up. No offense, but I was getting tired of the same old, same old. True, ENTERPRISE had it's slip-ups, but didn't every show, at some point or other? (And some more than others)
I must say, to me DEEP SPACE NINE and VOYAGER are good concepts, but they are not good series, and they are NOT Star Trek. ENTERPRISE screamed true-blue Star Trek to me, in a way that Cardassian Space Stations and flying spoons didn't.
And at least ENTERPRISE had the humility to leave the title of TREK off, when the other two shows didn't. In my book, it deserved it ten-times better than the others.
Let the hate mail begin...

Addiction and Mental Illness Recovery
The Addictions and Mental Health Services Division (AMH) recognizes the indisputable value of peer delivered services in transforming a mental health service delivery system that is based on the recovery model. AMH will work with consumers/survivors and stakeholders to develop strategies to increase the use and availability of peer delivered services. The largest funding source for community-based mental health services in Oregon is Medicaid. This document summarizes current Medicaid funding mechanisms for peer delivered services.

Check the baseline out, uh-huh… Bounce wit it to my bro Ryan's glove, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh, yeah… Can't leave the hitters alone, the Nats need me… There's a new Jay-Z in town and his name is Jordan Zimmermann.
Please, blog, may I have some more?2009 Rookies
All of these rookies are worth grabbing at the right spot, but I wouldn't reach for any of them. Sorry if that sounds boring, but sometimes Grey needs to instill some right-wing fantasy baseball conservatism into the equation. Longoria, Soto, Tulowitzki, Braun, Michael J.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Rangers announced their intention to move Michael Young to 3rd base for the 2009 season to make room for Elvis Andrus, their rookie prospect shortstop. This, of course, threw Michael Young into a tizzy like an Emotionally Stunted Sandinista. *stomps foot* I didn't tell them to censor all the comics, just Doonesbury!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Colby Rasmus goes by the nickname Razz or Razzle-Dazzle, which should make him a favorite here at Razzball, but there's something pricky about him that I don't like. Might be the name, Colby. It sounds like a total douche name, like a character's name in a Bret Easton Ellis novel. (Speaking of douche, I have two things to say. First, I went to the original Dollar Store the other day. No, not some weird field trip. Like, "Hey, honey, you wanna go check out the very first Dollar Store?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jason Heyward, besides having the surname of a 1930s matinee idol, has the mitts of a Yeti and the sturdies (<– that's legs) of Frank Thomas. His man gams are 117% oak. You thought Jay Bruce could fight crime? Heyward just saved your life and you didn't even know you were in danger.
Please, blog, may I have some more?While regurgigating Jobacum, I mentioned Gamel is a lot like Ryan Braun. All hit, no field. In Single-A ball in 2007, Gamel made 53 errors in 128 games. In that post, I said that he plays 3rd like Jenny McCarthy at a celebrity All-Star game, but I think I was overestimating his glove work. Kenny Mayne might be a better comparison. Last year Gamel cut his errors to 30, but still led Double-A with the most errors by a third baseman. Oh Gamel, you've done it again! If he could just get to the big leagues as a third baseman, his bat will be one to own in fantasy. But can he help your fantasy baseball team in 2009?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Back in September, I wrote about the Rangers catching situation in a post titled, "Rangers Decide Catching Wins Championships:"
Gerald Laird? Yeah, he's serviceable. Jarrod Saltimbocca? He was enticing enough to get from the Braves and he's wonderful with broccoli rabe.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Who's a 2009 NL Rookie of Year candidate? Who's a 22-year-old Phillies rookie who should be owned in keeper leagues already? Who won The Pickup Artist and how? Wait, that last one was off topic, but to answer, Carlos Carrasco, Carlos Carrasco, Simeon with negs and DHV spiking.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Most of the rookie nookie reacharounds I've given out so far have been for hitters. But that doesn't mean all 2009 fantasy baseball rookies will be hitters. Right, David Price? So today there's Dodgers rookie pitcher, James McDonald, who is in no way related to the smooth-as-a-Mah-Jong-tile, Michael McDonald.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Andrew McCutchen has been compared to a young Barry Bonds. Not because he takes steroids and kicks puppies. He's getting the comparisons because McCutchen is toolsy. Hey, Grey, my friend works at Home Depot and we call him Toolsy. Good to know, random italicized voice.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
