Developing a W or C Syllabus
The challenge in developing a W or C course syllabus is in seamlessly integrating the writing/speaking with the course material. Your aims should include (1) reinforcing and extending mastery of course content by means of writing or oral communication; and (2) providing practice in the types of writing or speaking students will do in either the academy or the workplace. Keeping these aims in mind, design a syllabus that includes not only graded documents but also steps for creating those documents. Include readings, lectures, web pages, homework, workshops, drafts, or class activities that lead progressively to finished, graded documents or oral performances.
Reinforcing and Extending Mastery of Course Content
One of the best ways to use writing is as a mode of learning or discovery. Writing that is not graded—but to which you, a grader, or peers respond—works very well for this purpose, and gives students practice in getting words on paper, which will in turn help them in more formal, graded writing. The same process can work for informal opportunities for speaking or discussion. Students can work through concerns, brainstorm, and get feedback on their ideas in small discussion groups. And, of course, writing is usually a preliminary part of preparing any oral performance.
Often the composing process is described as a series of recursive steps that include rewriting, writing, revising, and editing. Writing to learn can be a powerful way to assist prewriting, the stage in which a writer thinks through a topic, on paper but also in conversation. There are many techniques for jump-starting the prewriting process, including:
- Class or small-group discussion
- Invention techniques such as focused free writing that help students develop content
- Preparing visuals such as drawing, charts, table, and graphs
- Journals or blogs
- Listservs, chat rooms, wikis, or other forms of computer conferencing
- University Writing Center consultations (See Refer Your Students to the University Writing Center for a blurb to put on your syllabus.)
Just as informal writing can reinforce course content, formal, graded writing can as well. Writing a paper or delivering a presentation helps novices practice and master the vocabulary and ways of organizing and thinking characteristic of a discipline. However, as novices in your discipline, students will need guidance in how to write or speak like an expert in the field. Models and written instructions (assignments) will help them move from novice status.
Providing Writing Practice
One way to provide a stepwise progression to graded documents is to take advantage of the natural composition cycle, the recursive movement from prewriting to writing to revision to editing and finally publication or performance. Build into your syllabus opportunities for students to practice at each step, and you will see improvement in student work. You may also cut down on students' temptation to plagiarize by helping them avoid a time crunch.
Besides the techniques listed above for prewriting, build in drafting and editing techniques as class activities, for example:
- Class or small-group critiques of drafts, visuals, or outlines for speeches
- Class discussions regarding questions about the assignment
- Oral or written reports of work in progress
- Email or computer-conferencing critiques
- In-class workshops
- Early draft due dates
- Discussion of student or professional writing or speaking models
Number, Type, and Sequence of Assignments
A major decision you must make up front is the number of graded writing assignments your course will include. The recommendation from the W Course Advisory Committee is a total of at least 2000 words or eight pages of graded writing for a W course and 1200 words and 5 minutes of individual oral performance for a C class. You will have to decide on the (1) length of assignments; (2) type of documents or performances; and (3) sequence of assignments.
One point to consider is what types of communication students in your course are likely to need in the university or in the workplace. Once you have determined that, see if your assignments can give them the necessary practice. Do you want to limit the course to familiar documents (reports, essays) for familiar audiences (professors like you, for example)? Could students also write to a lay audience? Could they write brochures or letters, popular articles or book reviews?
Another point to consider in deciding on the types of documents students will write, is the learning outcomes for the course and for a given assignment. See Developing Assignments for more information.
The sequence of assignments should be based on learning outcomes. Generally, move from low to high order skills, from simple to more complex documents.
Or, if an objective is to have students write a complex argument that displays critical thinking about a text or event, begin with an assignment that encourages close reading, such as a one-page essay that summarizes an argument or interprets an event. Move into a longer essay that asks the writer to analyze an argument and, perhaps, respond to it. To further encourage critical thinking, build in a peer critique that requires the writer to share views and incorporate the views of others into his/her writing.
Three Strategies for Sequencing Assignments
Strategy One: Reinforcing Learning. Use assignments of the same basic type and give multiple opportunities for practice, perhaps increasing the difficulty of the course content, but not of the writing or speaking task, as the course progresses. For example, if you wish students to write excellent lab reports by the end of a course, have them write four or more reports.
Strategy Two: Increasing Cognitive Skills. Using a cognitive schema such as Bloom's taxonomy, design assignments in a sequence that move from easier to more difficult tasks. Be careful to keep the work challenging. For example, start with observation and reporting of events, then move to analysis, problem-solving, and evaluation. This can be a good opportunity to mix oral and written assignments–a report or essay can be presented to the class in poster form with a brief oral presentation.
Strategy Three: Building up to Complex Documents. Divide a complex document into a series of sub-tasks. Have these portions of a complex document turned in as shorter documents, then let students edit them into a longer paper that adds another element. For example, if you have assigned a formal report which proposes a solution to a problem, begin by assigning a two-page state-of-the-art review for a lay reader. Follow with a brief statement of the problem addressed to another expert, then a longer analysis of the problem in a third paper. In the final report, have them include a solution, and then ask for an oral presentation.
Syllabus Notes
Your syllabus should include information on the following:
- late work policies;
- plagiarism policies;
- grading policies;
- information on picking up papers when you won't return them in class;
- information on useful resources such as the University Writing Center, Evans library, the Aggie Honors Office, handbooks, or helpful web sites.
See the Minimum Syllabus Requirements from the Faculty Senate for details on what to include, especially the statement on academic integrity.
Be aware that you should never leave papers outside your office for students to pick up. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 this practice violates student privacy; in addition, it encourages plagiarism.
Additional Resources
If you'd like comments on how your syllabus accords with the aims of either W or C courses, send it to Valerie Balester, Executive Director, University Writing Center, 5000 TAMU (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Hemon returns to his childhood roots in Sarajevo, a small blissful city where he used to write bad poetry, play soccer, and listen to American music. Years later, Sarajevo came under siege while Hemon was in Chicago starting a new life and new family, as his parents were fleeing all they'd ever known. The Book of My Lives is a love song to two cities—a daring first book of non-fiction from a turbulent literary talent.

ARLINGTON, TX - OCTOBER 24: Darren Oliver #28 of the Texas Rangers pitches in the eighth inning during Game Five of the MLB World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on October 24, 2011 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)
Darren Oliver had a few downs to the 2011 season, but most of his 18th season in baseball was on the positive end, despite the fact he was on the wrong side of the proverbial hill.
And despite the fact that, if the Rangers make the postseason again in 2012, Oliver will turn 42 years old while he's still playing, the trusted lefty should be brought back next season.
Oliver went 5-5 last season with a 2.29 ERA with 44 strikeouts and 11 walks. The good thing about Oliver is that he doesn't just get lefties out, though that is his specialty. He can be trusted against lefties and righties.
Rangers fans' last memory of Oliver from 2011 will undoubtedly be his awful 10th inning in Game 6, which has sparked the controversy of whether Neftali Feliz should've been brought back out.
Oliver was terrible that night, but don't forget the good he gave the Rangers this past year.
Now he's free and his agent as said he wants to be somewhere he can win a ring, and where could be better than the team that has won two straight pennants and came within a strike, twice, of winning the World Series a few weeks ago.
Last season, Oliver made $3.25 million and could probably be brought back for a little less than that because of his escalating age, if nothing else.
Look for the Rangers to make a push to try to bring him back.

(02/12/13) - Two inmates are dead after brief stays in the Genesee County
jail. They died within a couple days of each other.
Last Wednesday, a 54-year-old Steven Menkenzie, of Flint, was
brought in on weapons and drug charges.
Authorities say he acted out and injured himself, while beating his
head against the jail bars.
The inmate was treated at a local hospital, but later was found
The other man was arrested by Mt. Morris police on a domestic
assault charge over the weekend.
He's identified by police as 44-year-old Robert Singer, and was
jailed with a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
"Because he came in so intoxicated, the protocol we put in is for a
medical protocol, which deals with individuals coming down off that high or that
intoxication," said Genesee County Undersheriff Chris Swanson. "Every 15 to 30
minutes, he's doing checks. He's being monitored 24 hours a day and it was
shortly thereafter the deputy made contact by getting medication to one of his
cell mates and he realized that he was not breathing."
The medical examiner says it appears both men died of natural causes.
Authorities are waiting on toxicology reports to confirm that.

Football requires such uniquely masculine traits that women can't even play it. Putting a woman in the commentary booth strikes me as forced PC - we won't pretend they belong on the field, but here's a little poke to remind you that we're still completely equal in all ways. I'm suspicious that any female football announcer has that contrarian mindset, and that too rubs me the wrong way. I can't imagine that female announcers test positively with football audiences either, so this is just a forced social construction from the network; if ratings were important, they wouldn't monkey around with such nonsense.

I feel bad for Shallman because it seems he was lied to by the coaching staff, who asserted that he was being recruited to run the ball. Maybe if our coaches shared your discerning eye for speed and talent, they could have told him where they projected him. As it stands, he commited as a tailback, was recruited over for Smith and Green, redshirted while they got carries, and is now in line for a career of blocking for them. I wouldn't begrudge him for transferring to a school that plans on using him the way he prefers (assuming that fullback is not the preferred position for the #6 in-state recruit).

After a debilitating loss to the Spartans, the team returned to Ann Arbor to lay an egg against Illinois and mock us for our dreams of a national championship.

Those big bad meanies at the NCAA will finally no longer get to steal money out of the pockets of the poor widdle student-athletes with binkies in their mouths. Now there will be no video game at all... everyone wins!
It wasn't as far back as Front Office Football that college athletes were stoked to play as themselves. But enough people started whispering in their ears that they should be getting paid for this novelty, and finally a class action suit was drummed up to kill off the endeavour.
The sport itself will take longer to unpack because there is exponentially more money behind it than one video game franchise monopoly. Expect this little episode to be a harbinger of things to come: it will be "social justice" criers demanding "equal rights" for "fair market value" that ultimately drives college sports out of the bottom half of competitive universities, who are not interested in bidding for semi-pro athletes. Everything will be different in twenty years.

WAUKESHA (WKOW) -- The Waukesha man suspected in a triple homicide is now accused of making threats at a Waukesha animal shelter just days before the murders.
Investigators say 31-year-old Jaren Kuester killed three people in Lafayette County over the weekend.
Workers at the Human Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County, or HAWS, say Kuester came in on Thursday and was confused and belligerent. They say Kuester was looking for his dead dog which he brought there weeks ago after it was hit by a car.
Workers called police and that's when Kuester allegedly threatened staff members and then left. HAWS officials say Kuester later came back and police arrested him. Kuester spent the night at the Waukesha County Jail, but was bailed out Friday.
Authorities in Lafayette County say charges could be filed next week against Kuester. They say the investigation is taking a while because of the massive amounts of evidence to comb through.

Guest Star: "New York Knicks For Life. I Can't Just Switch Allegiances"
Friday, Nov 2, 2012 2:30PM
[In celebration of the NBA season beginning this week, SOHH is tipping things off with your favorite rappers boasting about their top teams. Today, Brooklyn's Torae defends rocking with the New York Knicks over his borough's Nets.]
It's definitely New York Knicks for life.
I can't just switch allegiances during the course of a summer. But I do represent Brooklyn. I'm BK all day. I'm definitely going to go to some games and I'm going to support the Nets from afar. But as far as my allegiance and what I'm repping, I'm New York Knicks forever.
They [were] supposed to play each other in the season opener, I [was] definitely predicting a close game but with a Knicks victory.
But the Nets are a good organization. They've got a good owner that's willing to spend some money and Jay-Z being a minority owner is going to bring in a lot of attention and marketing and media to the franchse.
It's all good [for the Nets]. I'm not sure if they have the most talented team because it's a team sport. They have talented guys but we're talking about a team. We're talking abut guys that have been accumulated to working well together. That takes time. So I don't think they're going to have a phenomenal season out the gate. But they'll be okay.
The Knicks definitely should be well. They've had a chance to gel and they've been together for a few seasons. They've had some bumps in the road, but every season there's been trades to get Carmelo [Anthony] and Tyson [Chandler], so I feel like they've gotten better. This season is really the season for them to show and prove because they've had a off-season and pre-season to get together and prepare.
I'm excited to see what they'll do this season. There's no more excuses. There's no lockout, there's no shortened season. Now it's time to see what they're made of.
Torae (born Torae L. Carr) is an American rapper from the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York. Career, Torae gained recognition by collaborating with DJ Premier and Marco Polo. He and Polo went on to receive critical acclaim for their collaborative LP entitled Double Barrel.

Meningitis B jab 'would save lives'
Meningitis charities said thousands of lives could be saved if children had access to a vaccine that was today rejected by the Government.
Sue Davie, chief executive of the Meningitis Trust and Meningitis UK, said:
– Sue Davie
This is extremely disappointing news after all our supporters and our hard work over decades to introduce a vaccine.
We understand the committee's concerns about impact and cost, but we believe this vaccine is safe and we know it will save lives.
The more we delay, the more lives are being lost.
Meningitis UK estimates that there are 1,870 cases of meningitis B each year in the UK. It says that one in 10 people affected will die.

Axiomtek Launches a Palm-sized Intel Atom Fanless System
Axiomtek's eBOX530-830-FL targets for nearly any field of space-limited and mobile applications like in-vehicle PCs, in-flight systems and other embedded applications.
Axiomtek's eBOX530-830-FL is a compact, embedded system that measures only 160.4 x 135.4 x 60 mm and is powered by Intel's NM10 Express chipset paired with a dual-core Intel Atom N2600 Cedarview processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. The system has been designed to "resist severe environments" and features an IP40-rated aluminum and cold rolled steel enclosure that has a vibration resistance of up to 3 Grms and can be mounted on a din-rail, wall, stand or with a standard VESA mount. Additionally, the system's fanless cooling design is capable of performing silently at operating temperatures ranging from -10°C to +50°C.
The eBOX530-830-FL features a single DDR3-800 SO-DIMM that supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory, one 2.5" SATA drive bay, a CFast slot, and a vibration and shock resistance lockable DC-in power connector. With regards to I/O connectors, the system features one 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port, two RS-232 COM ports, four USB 2.0 connectors, HD Audio and VGA, and DisplayPort outputs.
"Axiomtek develops eBOX530-830-FL as a versatile solution with benefits of small footprint and higher performance-per-watt for sophisticated embedded solutions" said Ray Chang, Product Manager of Product & Marketing Division at Axiomtek. "It is a super compact fanless embedded system measuring only making this system especially fit on to space limited environment, yet still capable of offering rich I/O connections. Many systems have no separate button for resetting; Axiomtek's eBOX530-830-FL offers a dummy-proof reset button to reboot the system forcibly which increases work efficiency. In addition, its CFast™ slot can endure vibration up to 3Grms and the lockable DC-in connector can also significantly reduce the impact of vibration & shock."

If it's not something that you care about, then why bother reading about it, let alone commenting about it? It's clearly not meant to appeal to high-end customers if it's using Atom, so I see no reason to complain about it not doing something that it's not meant to do and really shouldn't be expected of it anyway.

'I Don't Want to Die'
So what happened on the night of January 20, 2003? The confessions made by Adam Woest and Trevor Theys after their arrests, as printed in their entirety in the Cape Times, help piece things together.
Theys went to the restaurant on a number of occasions during 2002 and became friends with Woest, who was a manager there. At some point, Woest told him that he had overheard one of the masseurs drunkenly mention that a large amount of money, between R150000 (approx. $US25,424) and R200,000 (approx. $US33,898) was kept on the premises. According to Theys, Woest said that it would be easy to rob the massage parlor, and Theys (jokingly) agreed. Woest said that Theys should be able to obtain firearms relatively easily in a township since he was colored. Woest apparently queried about Theys progress in this regard on a number of occasions. Finally, after Theys girlfriend had an affair, he decided to take his own pistol as well as his brothers 9-mm Norinco, and call Woest. He said they could rob Sizzlers that night.
Woests version is basically the inverse. Here Theys was the one who wanted to rob Sizzlers and Woest regarded it as a joke. When Theys said he was serious, Woest declined. But then Theys referred to Woests fiancée being hit by a car some time previously, which Woest understood to be a threat. Woest later told Dr Ashraf Jedaar, the psychiatrist, that he did not need the money, earning about R10,000 (approx. $US1,695) per month, but Theys had required it for his taxi business.
On the night of the murders, Woest phoned Sizzlers to make a midnight appointment for himself and Theys. They purchased a little more than half a gallon of petrol at a station and acquired washing line from Woests flat. They also took the pistols and knife Theys had obtained, duct tape, balaclavas and latex gloves. They stopped the rented BMW in
Aubrey Otgaar and some of the masseurs had been cleaning the house when a client, Gregory Berghaus, arrived. He went into one of the studios with Sergio de Castro. The other masseurs retired to the room where they slept to watch a video.
Otgaar came to the gate when Woest and Theys rang the bell and let them in. He took them to Studio 3, and inquired about their preferences. Woest said that he liked blondes. Otgaar sent 17-year-old Stephanus Fouché into the room. According to Theys, this was when Woest took out the pistol and told Stephanus that they were being robbed. Woest preferred to use we in his confession. They were taken to the room where the masseurs slept.
Quinton Taylor, who only recently returned from a holiday at his parents, was lying on top of a double-bunk bed when Otgaar came in, followed by Woest and Theys, who had guns in their hands. They ordered the masseurs to hand over their watches, jewelry and cellular phones. Then Woest ordered them to remove their shoes and to sit around a table. Timothy Boyd was told to tie their hands and feet to the chairs, which he did poorly. The men were told to lie on the floor, face down, in a row. Theys proceeded to tie their wrists and ankles. Otgaar opened two safes and gave the money to Woestless than R2,000 (approx. $US339). Otgaar and Jüan Meyer asked to be tied together, and were, and Quinton refused to lie on his stomach, because if I was going to die, I at least wanted to see it happen. Socks were pushed into their mouths and covered with duct tape. At some point, Sergio and Gregory were discovered in the other studio. Woest tied them, but later said, Im useless at knots.
Quinton managed to push the gag with his tongue so that he was able to ask Theys what was going to happen. Theys promised that no one would be killed.
It was during the period which followed that Quinton recalls Woest making the phone call about someone providing them with a ride. Woest became increasingly agitated and started sweating profusely.
Woest and Theys left the room and apparently went to the kitchen, because upon their return, Woest had one of Otgaars kitchen knives. Theys had the knife he had brought with him. In Woests version, Theys told him that they should cut the men to scare them into giving us more money, according to Independent On-Line on March 3, 2004. In Theys version, Woest told him to cut the mens throats, which I did not want to do. Woest then said they both had to do it. In his confession, Theys stated that he really did not want to do it. But Adam was a bigger man than me. I was fighting for my own life, because Adam said to me that he will get rid of loose ends. So they went back into the room and began to stab the men in the back of their necks and cutting their throats. Woest started from one side and Theys from the other. The men screamed. Quinton stated that Theys, who had cut his throat, did not cut deep enough to kill him. Trevor didnt want to as much as Adam did, he told the court.
Somewhere during all this, Otgaar managed to free himself and attacked the assailants. According to Woest, Theys fought him off, kicked him and stabbed him. Otgaars throat was slashedapparently by Woest, since he admitted to cutting Otgaars throatdeep enough to sever the carotid artery, which propelled blood onto the ceiling.
Woest and Theys went into the passageway to smoke. Quinton could hear Theys telling Woest to relax and calm down.
At some point, the client who later attended the identification lineup, arrived at Sizzlers. He found it peculiar that the security gate was unlocked. After he knocked, a man he had never seen before, whom he later realized was Theys, came to the door and informed him that Sizzlers was closed for business. Theys asked him to leave, pushing him away.
Woest re-entered the room with a bottle of petrol and began sprinkling it on the men and the floor. According to Woest, this was done on Theys orders. The men screamed again, crying and pleading with him not to burn them alive. He never lit it.
Theys remained to watch over the men, while Woest went through the house, apparently looking for the rest of the money he believed was somewhere on the premises. In his confession, Theys stated that he was talking to the men during this time: They asked me whether they were going to die. I promised them that no one will die. Later me and the boys spoke to each other. We were actually laughing and joking. People, of course, do strange things when they are high on fear and adrenaline, but its hard to imagine men with their necks cut open joking with one of the men responsible. Theys made an interesting statement after this, that "Adam was waiting. I dont know for what.
The phone rang on at least one occasion while Woest and Theys were inside the house. Juan Uys, from the apartments across the street, called Otgaar at about 3:30 a.m. The phone was answered, presumably by one of the killers. When he called again 20 minutes later, the line was busy. Police found the phone in Otgaars bedroom streaked with blood.
Meanwhile, Gregory Berghaus managed to get untied. Theys went to look for Woest, and saw Gregory coming out of the room. Theys told him to go back, but Gregory ran to the kitchen, where he attacked Woest. Theys hit him over the head with the pistol and Gregory turned on him. Theys described what happened as follows: The firearm went off and the man fell down. I just stood there. Adam took the gun from me and went to the first room where the boy [Sergio de Castro] was left still tied up. He shot the boy.
Woest described it quite similarly: I have put down my gun a while ago. Trevor took out a gun, hit him [Berghaus] a few times on the head, but he still kept coming. Basically, then the gun went off; I dont know if Trevor did it intentionally. I just went into a dazed state, shocked at what happened, basically. No mention of Sergio, though. And Woest pleaded not guilty to Sergios murder at the trial. Ditto for Gregory Berghaus.
According to Quinton, however, Theys was with them when four shots went off elsewhere in the house. He believes that Woest was alone when Gregory and Sergio were shot.
Theys described how Woest then turned to him, telling him that it was too late, that we have to shoot them. Woest told him to start from one side, while Woest would start from the other. Theys stated that he felt compelled because I was scared and fearing for my own life. I am not that bad a person. I was scared to die. Woest pulled the trigger first. Theys shot four of the men.
Woest managed to condense the murder of eight men into one sentence: At that point, I still recall Trevor putting the gun in my hand and said lets go, and then we basically went in and shot everybody else. No further mention.
The men lay in a row on the floor. Woest started on the right end and Theys on the left, shooting the men in the back of their heads. Sit back, close your eyes and imagine this scene for a while. Think about actually doing it. See the bound and bleeding men. Hear their screams and pleas. Smell their blood and their fear.
Quinton described how Woest and Theys re-entered the room, and without saying a word, simply began executing the men. Theys was standing about six feet from Quinton when he shot him. The first bullet entered his skull next to his left ear, tunneling all the way to his jaw. Quinton lost consciousness, but was shot a second time. This bullet entered his head just above the hairline, traveling between his brain and skull into his neck.
Woest and Theys put on the balaclavas, left the house and ran to the BMW. They drove around, throwing the masks and gloves from the car somewhere along the way. They ended up in Bellville, a suburb of
Quinton regained consciousness not too long after the murderers had fled. He managed to free his hands and ankles, and staggered to the bathroom. Here he discovered Gregory Berghaus, drenched in blood. He sat on the bed in Otgaars room for a while and then left the house, somehow managing to make it to the Total petrol station, where he collapsed.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg has returned to bookshelves with a work of spectacular artistry and objective workmanship in drafting perhaps the most intimate portrait of Woodrow Wilson, the college history professor who made his own mark on history.Berg draws on unique sources left behind by the president's doctor and daughter in a definitive piece, Wilson, which should be required reading for any course of study that examines American history after 1865.Few presidents carry a larger legacy than the 28th, who set precedents in dealing with domestic, international and constitutional crises — including presidential succession issues and government-sponsored surveillance programs — during two terms, beginning in 1913.As Berg illustrates so well, no chief executive, perhaps other than the liberal lions FDR and LBJ, can boast such progressive domestic reforms as those Wilson introduced to American life, many of which were marshaled through by his leadership, including a dramatic lowering of tariffs that mostly harmed consumers.He was motivated by many of the same principles that guided his pre-presidency as president of Princeton and governor of New Jersey."Monopoly, private control, the authority of privilege, the concealed mastery of a few men, cunning enough to rule without showing their power" could rightly be claimed as the mantra of each of Wilson's 16 successors.Wilson became the first president since John Adams to address a joint session of Congress to personally appeal for tariff reform.Among his other reforms were the Federal Reserve Act, which established the federal reserve and a supervision of banking still in use today, and the Clayton Antitrust Act, which set out terms regulating mergers and acquisitions.There was also Wilson's role in the implementation of the 16th Amendment, which established the income tax in the United States.His greatest legacy, like most presidents since, lay in foreign affairs, where Wilson became the first to lead the United States in a truly international role during World War I and set the course for U.S. foreign policy for the next 100 years."The world must be made safe for democracy," Wilson proclaimed, while also drawing up a vision to end the war and ensure another never happened with the League of Nations, his dream that met demise in the U.S. Senate.Although the progressive Wilson worked to change world and domestic economic affairs, he was also terribly regressive, as Berg objectively explores in depth, in reconciling race relations and opportunity for black Americans, including accepting his postmaster general's order that offices be segregated and affirming a congressional act to make interracial marriages illegal in Washington, D.C.But it is through that issue that a most captivating part of Wilson is introduced.Berg's illumination of the president's humanity is riveting, particularly his bitterness over the failure of the Senate to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and the pursuit and courtship of his first and second wives.His first wife, Ellen, died during his first term, leading the grief-stricken president to wonder if he was capable of carrying out his constitutional duties. And he had trouble focusing on the most important issues of his day while delivering entreaties to Edith Galt to "come into his heart and take possession.""So began the most ardent chase of Wilson's life," Berg wrote. "His hundreds of letters to the former Ellen Axson had expressed every romantic sentiment he could conjure, but they were callow sentiments alongside the torrent of words that would now engulf Edith. … There was an urgency in the Tiger's pursuit, fueled by the gratitude that he had been granted one final stab at love."It would be Edith, along with Wilson's doctor and his chief of staff, who would set precedent in dealing with a chief executive incapacitated by a debilitating stroke.For lovers of history, however, it will be the treasure that is Wilson that becomes infatuating.
Wilson by A. Scott Berg Putnam, $40 Audiobook: Simon & Schuster Audio, $39.99; read by actor Jeremy Bobb Meet the author Berg will discuss Wilson at 7 p.m. Oct. 4, at Barnes & Noble, 7700 W. Northwest Highway, No. 300, Dallas; 214-739-1124.

• Quick Recap: It was like a trip back to 2003 for this longtime fan of the franchise, if only Livan Hernandez and Javier Vazquez were still wearing the home whites with royal blue pinstripes and the royal blue eMb caps instead of their current, respective, lids. Vazquez in Yankees' midnight blue, threw 6.0 innings against the Nationals, giving up 4 hits and 1 ER while recording 6 K's. Hernandez walked 2 and allowed 3 hits and 1 ER in 5.0 innings on the mound in which he may very well have earned himself a spot in Washington's twenty-ten starting rotation. After Livan left the game following the fifth with Washington down 1-0 on Alex Rodriguez's RBI triple in the fourth, Jason Bergmann came on in relief and allowed things to get out of hand (with Mike Morse's help), giving up a leadoff double to Nick Johnson, (which Morse misjudged) and another RBI hit to A-Rod, who singled Johnson in with a grounder up the middle and scored when Robinson Cano singled in the next AB. 3-0 Yanks after six. Cristian Guzman singled off Vazquez and scored (well his pinch runner Eric Bruntlett did) with Damaso Marte on the mound when Bruntlett stole second and Alberto Gonzalez hit an RBI double into the right center gap...
• Notes: Justin Maxwell? You're missing your shot. Brian Bruney, Tyler Clippard, Jesse English? 3.0 scoreless combined, are they all on the Opening Day roster? Couldn't help but notice Ian Desmond doubling off Mariano Rivera late in the game...What, Guzman?...Just saying...Mike Morse? See Justin Maxwell note. Roger Bernadina? See Morse, Maxwell...
• Check out Last Night's GameThread.

Livan Hernandez slows time to get Mark Teixeira's swinging K, Livan matches Javy with one scoreless apiece...
2- Josh Whitesell gets one of Vazquez's 2-2 curves and K's. Justin Maxwell's Vazquez's 4th K in 5 AB's, Adam Kennedy makes contact at least, grounding out to Yankees' second baseman Robinson Cano...Livan gets Cristian Guzman the work he needs to test his shoulder, pulling a grounder out of A-Rod for the first out of the frame. Robinson Cano flies out to center, Jorge Posada flies out to right, Livan Hernandez finishes his second scoreless.
3- Willy Taveras hits a two-out single for the first hit of the game off Vazquez after Ian Desmond's flyout to center and Wil Nieves' groundout to first, but Taveras gets thrown out stealing second...Curtis Granderson grounds weakly to first, but Swisher follows with a double over Mike Morse's head in right. (RF Taveras was ejected from the game.) Livan gets fly ball outs from Gardner and Jeter and finishes his third scoreless.
4- Roger Bernadina leads off the top of the fourth with a pop out to A-Rod in foul territory off third after battling Javier Vazquez for several pitches in a 1-2 count. Cristian Guzman grounds out toward first, Vazquez and Teixeira make the play. Willie Harris sends the third out to Yanks' left fielder Brett Gardner, Vazquez completes four scoreless...Nick Johnson, who's got quite the Discerning Eye at the plate, works the count full and takes a "fast"ball inside for ball four from Livan. Mark Teixeira gets a 1-2 change that's so slow it's ridiculous, K. Alex Rodriguez is ready and he goes with a fastball outside and triples off the right field wall. Johnson scores, 1-0 Yankees. Robinson Cano pops out to short on a full count offering from Mr. National. Livan Hernandez freezes Jorge Posada with a two-strike fastball on the outside edge for a called strike three.
5- Josh Whitesell finds the outfield grass in short left with a bloop single to start the fifth, but gets double-up at first when Justin Maxwell lines out to second. Adam Kennedy grounds to first, Javier Vazquez is through five scoreless...Livan Hernandez is back in the fifth against Curtis Granderson, who draws a leadoff walk and then gets doubled up on a line drive from Nick Swisher to Guzman at short, to first. Brett Gardner singles on a grounder up the middle. Derek Jeter flies out to right, Mike Morse makes the grab. Still 1-0 Yanks.
6- Ian Desmond gets one as far as the warning track in center where Curtis Granderson makes the catch. Wil Nieves' one-out single off Vazquez is the Nationals' third hit. Mike Morse K's swinging through a high fastball. Roger Bernadina works the count full against Vazquez, and takes a fastball high in the zone for a called strike three...Nick Johnson starts the Yankees' sixth with double to center field off Jason Bergmann. Robinson Cano flies out to Maxwell in center. Alex Rodriguez throws his bat at a slider outside and singles up the middle to score Nick Johnson, 2-0 Yankees. A-Rod scores on an RBI single to left by Robinson Cano, but new left fielder Michael Burgess throws Cano out at second. Still 3-0, nice throw Burgess. Jorge Posada walks with two down and Curtis Granderson singles to put two on with two out. Nick Swisher gets a full-count change from Bergmann and he K's swinging to end the sixth.
7- Cristian Guzman singles to start the seventh, and Vazquez is finally lifted after 6.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 K's. Eric Bruntlett takes over at first for Guzman. Damaso Marte takes over for Vazquez. Bruntlett steals second and scores when Alberto Gonzalez doubles into the right center gap. 3-1 Yankees. Justin Maxwell K's swinging. Adam Kennedy flies out to Swisher deep in the right field corner for the final out of the Nats' seventh. Alberto Gonzalez throws one away and by Morse at first on what should've been a groundout by Brett Gardner. Brian Bruney on the mound. Nieves nails Gardner trying to take second. Ramiro Pena lines out to Bruntlett at short. Bruney vs Johnson. Groundout to end the seventh.
8- Ian Desmond starts the second with a double off Mariano Rivera and into the left field corner. DESMOND! Mike Morse up after Wil Nieves lines out to second. Mike Morse takes strike three inside. Michael Burgess' bat's on his shoulder when strike three is called...Juan Miranda for New York against Tyler Clippard for DC. Miranda chases a 3-2 changeup and K's swinging. Francisco Cervelli takes Clippard to left for a one-out single. Kevin Russo (2B), K's swinging. Riggleman's bringing out Jesse English to get him some work. English throws one pitch, and it's lined out to center by P.J. Pilliterre.
9- Eric Bruntlett leads off the ninth against Mark Melancon with a groundout to short. Mark Melancon gets Mike Daniel looking and gets Alberto Gonzalez swinging. Yankees win.

Ad in the FSView
Fellow TNers... I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of all the negative trash going on around Twitter. First was all that garbage during OU week. Now, following the loss at Wake Forest, all our beloved athletes shut down their Twitter accounts (and many of their Facebook accounts) to cut themselves off from a small handful of ignorant so-called fans. The fact that the players felt they had to go that far disgusts me. These young men VONLUNTEERED to wear the Garnet and Gold for Florida State. They could have gone to any number of schools and gotten a quality education while playing football, but they chose us. And for that reason alone, we should support them in all they do throughout their lives. Sadly, we can no longer counter the garbage that was tweeted to our 'Noles due to the cutoff. But I still feel a need to find them and let them know that they ARE, in fact, appreciated for everything that they do. So I contacted the advertising department at the FSView to inquire about rates for taking out an advert. If we so desired, we could sign it on behalf of Tomahawk Nation (with Bud's approval, of course) or use individual names if the group is small enough. But I feel this is something very important that must be done. Our guys can't be feeling very good about themselves at all right now. I want them to know we still appreciate all that they do. EDIT 1: I got an email from FSView staff. The minimum cost is $180.05 for a BnW ad fitting roughly 3.28" x 6.25". The maximum cost is $2061.65 for a full page color ad. (Yikes.) Some more... appropriate... prices: Half-page - BnW $893.33, color $1168.33. 1/3 page BnW $595.55, color $810.55. 1/4 page BnW $443.20, color $603.20. EDIT 2: A PayPal account might be the easiest way to collect funds for the ad, but there is a cost. PayPal charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. (Ex: $3.20 charge on a $100 donation.) That cost isn't particularly high, but it is there. If there is an interest, we can choose someone to create and manage the account. (I volunteer, btw.) My wife is a graphic designer, so we can create an ad amongst ourselves and decide what we like free of charge. That cost, therefore, should not be factored in. Just the cost of printing the ad. All ads must be submitted by 5 pm one week prior to printing. So this won't get out anytime soon. Let me know what you think.

Paul Zeise Stepping Aside
Longtime Pitt writer Paul Zeise is stepping down from the Pitt beat, he announced today. Zeise's son, Elijah (2014 safety prospect from North Allegheny), has been offered a football scholarship by Pitt. Avoiding even the appearance of a conflict of interest in the media world is of paramount importance, so this is an understandable decision. Paul has always been good to me since I've been blogging Pitt and his expertise and humor will be missed on the beat. Staff writer Sam Werner will be taking over the Pitt football beat.

Judge in Trouble Over BS Comment
Posted Sep 12, 2007 8:34 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A New Jersey municipal court judge contends he shouldn't be disciplined for telling a landlord his excuse for failing to show up in court was "a lot of bullshit."
Judge Frank Leanza of Guttenberg, N.J., said he had learned his lesson during a hearing on Thursday before the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct, the New Jersey Law Journal reports.
Leanza said the landlord, accused of failing to fix his apartment buildings, had twice faked heart attacks during court hearings. He racked up $200,000 in fines and had ignored several summonses and warrants before his March 2006 arrest.
The landlord told Leanza he had not shown up in court because he had been away, an assertion the judge knew to be untrue, he said. That's when Leanza made the BS statement.
"I was as frustrated as I could be," he testified.
Leanza also said he was under stress because of his wife's treatment for breast cancer and he needed health insurance provided to him as a judge to pay treatment costs.

We have wellies, we have buckets and spades, but we have nothing to wave. This makes us sadface. It is hard to decide what to put on a banner as we have too many favourites (although 'Styby, will you marry me?' needs to feature), so we thought it may be a good idea to take something a little more neutral. Also, we would like you to see us on the teevee. This set us wondering where the PdC banner is at the moment. Does anyone know who has it?

This place is in a strip mall and it is hard to tell if they were open or not. They were. So once inside, the bar area to the left is a big open room with a U-shaped bar infront and lots of table seating past that. The smell of wort being made wafted through the air.
I was impressed by all the beers they had on tap, I think almost a dozen that they made. It ran the gambit from a 0 IBU Braggot/Gruit to an Imperial IPA and lots of medium weight beers in between. They also had a good selection of bottles from other craft breweries. I eyed a bottle of Goose Island Madam Rose but desired to stick with their beers for this trip.
The house yeast has a unique pumpkin or squash hint to it which was very pleasant in the English Dark Mild but I noticed it coming though every beer I tried. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it was prominent. The Imperial IPA was very dark brown with soft hops and I had to ask the bartender to make sure it was the right beer. I don't get hung up on styles but it was not the beer that was described in the menu.
The beer comes in small 14 oz. and tall 22.oz pours. Don't hold me to those exact sizes, which was nice for session beer options. They also had a fair selection of glassware for the higher alcohol beers.
This was a nice place with some good creative brews but I would love to taste some different pumpkin beers with that yeast. I will stop back whenever I'm out there.

The Limestone Brewery in Plainfield is a great hybrid between brewery, sportsbar, and restaurant. The place is quite big with high tops, low tops, and pleant of bar seating. It is very open and loud....and has been busy everytime I have gone. There are Flat screans throughout to catch your favorite game. The quality of food and drink is very good. The service has always been very good as well. Our gal last night was very attentive. There is a great beer selection...not only of their stuff, but bottles as well. The food menu is pretty diverse as well with two specials to boot. The Nachos are awesome!!! the main pasta courase I had was great as well. Over all it is a great place to visit....but compared to other brewery type places it would be a bit moree pricey, but the quality more than makes up for it.

My fiance had worked in the area and suggested this place to me so we went there one day. Certainly an interesting venue as I don't have a place like this in my hometown. Went on a friday for lunch and there were a few other people but not overly busy. Very good service. We order a side of their bar fries fully loaded and it was amazing. Otherwise their burgers were the usual and nothing too fancy. HOLY COW do they have a beer selection. I believe they had 10 of their own beers that they make and a good 50-75 other beers for draft or bottle. This has to be the first plave I've ever seen where to can get a Sam Adams Infinium with your meal. Lots of good beer choices. While the food was good, I really want to go back just for the beer haha.

I went in here when they opened. Was not impressed.
I waited 6 or 7 months and returned, hoping the brewer got used to the new equipment. Still unimpressed.
Now here we are over 2 years later. And I finally feel they deserve this review:
Their beer: is it just me, or do they use the same house yeast in everything? Maybe this wouldn't be bad if the yeast weren't an English mild ale yeast. It presents with the same finish on each beer, regardless of style. Aside from this, the beers are themselves quite bland and boring. Maybe dry-hopping needs to be a course offered by colleges across the state.
The atmosphere: wow. This place looks like a 1980's nightclub that Tony Montana would spend time in. Neon lights, very dark, sleek shiny black furniture. Am in a coke den in cold war Russia? Wow. Me no likey.
The food is mediocre and overpriced.
The staff does what they can, but tgat doesn't seem to include caring about beer.
I highly doubt I'll return. Fool me three tines, shame on me...

For a local brewery, Limestone serves its purpose. It's local craft beer with a good guest list when there's no other real options close to the area. I've been there quite a few times and each time I'm not overly impressed with the beers. They have anywhere between 6-10 beers on tap with some guest taps as well. Nothing real outstanding that I find myself going back for more on. In fact I tend to start off with a couple of their beers and then move into the guest beers as it's a pretty decent selection and I can generally find something better on the guest list.
The food and service is great in my opinion, friendly staff, quality food. The one huge complaint I have with this place is the bar itself. It looks very nice but the design has a major flaw, it slants down and away so drinks slip off the bar extremely easily. Not to mention it's extremely uncomfortable to lean on or sit at. It's just an awkward design. I voice my complaints every time and get no real explanation for why they built it like that.
For the Plainfield area, this place isn't bad, but if you're looking for a great selection of taps and bottles, go down the street to Finnigans. That place is a total home run!

This was my fifth or so visit to Limestone and I finally decided to review it. Always had a slightly above average experience here.
Atmosphere is ok, seems kind of like an upscale sports bar.
All of the beer I've had here is pretty good, nothing way outstanding, but all pretty solid and nothing awful. They have about 9 or 10 of their beers on tap always it seems, and another 6 guest taps or so. They also have about 50 bottles or so.
Service is a little bit better than most places as well. The waiters/waitresses seem decently knowledgeable about beer (or at least their beer), but they make it seem like its part of the job and not something they're overly enthused about.
All in all a pretty solid place. Would recommend this place to anyone.

My local. Gotta send the love.
Great beer location, beers are great, food is great, service to beer community is great.
Had just about everything on the home taps, and nothing is off, all great beers. Also serve a mean lineup of guest taps, but I only go for the house beers, so far.
The place rocks about midweek through the weekend, bands and events really bring in the crowds. Slow days are usually Mondays and Tuesdays.
Recent turnover in head chefs is a bit of an unknown, but food has always been very good, very tasty, high quality, and nicely paired with house brews.
Service, except for opening night over a year ago, has always been spot on, staff knows the beers and is always very helpful. Bartenders and waitstaff are all first rate.
Selection, likewise, is first rate. Big rotating guest taps offer many hard to find and interesting brews. House brews include a belgian golden (my favorite), american brown, american amber, stout, hefe, an amazing IIPA - flying pig/F5, annual oak aged RIS -Ukranium Crusher, all first rate, and all very drinkable beers.
Value's very good, prices are reasonable. Mondays are $6 growler fills. Also, they are the home base for the Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusists Homebrew Club. Great support for the community.
If you're in the area, stop by, you won't be disapointed, and you'll probably leave with a growler to take home.

My brother had band practice in the basement yesterday, so I fled the homestead with the p and m, unaware of the exact destination (all I knew was that breakfast would be procured). We ended up in Plainfield, eating at the Bob Evans, which I noticed was right across the street from Limestone. I was dropped off to enjoy some early beers, as they couldn't care less about drinking "so early in the day". Whatever. The place is a large-seeming little joint, with a large, square, wooden bar in the middle, tables filling up the rest of the downstairs (along with a stage), and an upstairs area with more seating options. TVs abound, though tastefully, all tuned to the sports. I settled in at the bar (which is insanely slippery) and watched gleefully as West Virginia took down Georgetown in basketball (at Verizon, no less). The bartender seemed pretty knowledgeable of the beers, and mentioned during one of our many exchanges (she was very genial, and there weren't many other patrons in so early) that the owners made the 'tenders and servers attend beer classes. Nice. Eleven house beers were on-tap, ranging from a light golden ale to a barrel-aged stout, and these were accompanied by some nice guest taps (GI's Dominique coming soon!) and a swath of guest bottles. While sampling the various brews, I entered into small conversations with the various locals at the bar. This place seems good for that sort of interaction, honestly. While I was enjoying the barrel-aged Ukrainium Krusher imperial stout, I was approached by the brewmaster, and we talked about the beers and brewing for a bit. Very nice guy. I didn't try any of the food (I really should start sampling the food as well when I visit these places...), but it all looked really good, and the loaded baked potato soup sounded great. (My mother echoed these feelings as well.) Overall, I'm really glad I was able to stop in here for a while. The Plainfield and Naperville BAs are lucky to have a place this nice nearby. I'm gonna haveta find a way to make it down here in the future.

Located in a strip mall way out in the SW burbs (if you count Plainfield as one). Has a bright reception area separated from the darker main room, both are expansive so I assume this place is hopping around dinner and lunch time. Beautiful oval-shaped glossy wooden bar (though it slants slightly toward the bartenders, watch out for moving beer!) and tons of TVs for football watching. Rest of the place has big screens plus tons of small circular wooden tables and booths, like a classy buffalo wild wings.
Had 6 regulars and 3 seasonals on tap (Golden ale, hefeweizen, indian brown ale, oatmeal stout, golden heather ale, imperial ipa, imperial stout, small beer, hopped up pale ale) with a great bottle selection too, probably ~ 50 other craft beers with a bunch of locals like goose island and 2 brothers. Sampled all their offerings, with their barrel aged imperial stout being the clear winner. All were great though, especially the oatmeal stout and their 2 lighter beers (hefe and golden ale).
Waitress was attentive, offered us free samples of everything and described how each would taste. Sounded like she actually drank (and liked) the beer. Took the time to totally fill up a growler of the stout despite its inherent frothyness making the process time consuming. Would definitely visit again, no hippie/yuppie vibe like some of the brewpubs in the city.

went a couple times a few weeks after it opened last winter. located in a stripmall, the outside is of course rather nondescript. the inside has your typical brewpub look. larger than you'd think, with a large open bar area and some more seating upstairs. there were only 3 limestone options to choose from, an ok lighter bodied amber, a decent india brown, and a light dry stout. there was a good selection of guest taps, however they seemed to be out of everything that i asked for, making the beer menu basically useless. service was fine, although there have been several reports of one larger male employee (a manager?) who is very lewd and inappropriate with his female service staff. even my misogynist buddy thought this guy was way out of line. i'd go back, but only if i was in the area, and just to see if they have straightened things out with their beer selection and availability. it's rather disappointing to order five different beers in a row, only to have the server keep coming back saying that they don't have that or are out of it.

The Tulsa Shock are back on the court Thursday morning, but will Elizabeth Cambage be suited up when they face the Chicago Sky?
Liz has missed the last five games due to an ankle injury.
When she's been in she's played well averaging over 18 points and eight rebounds in three games.
The Shock need to get her back healthy. They could use her presence inside.
"In think she's getting close. We're shooting to get her back on the floor this week." Shock head coach Gary Kloppenburg said, "Maybe by Thursday. Hopefully we can get her back by Thursday. At least by the weekend against Seattle."
The Shock and the Sky tip-off at the BOK Center at 11:30am.
