Truman State University is a public liberal arts and sciences university located in Missouri, United States. It is a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. Truman has 6,149 enrolled students in the Fall 2013, with 60% (3,677) women, and 4% (251) postgraduates,[3] pursuing degrees in 48 undergraduate, and nine Graduate programs.[2] Located in Kirksville, in the northeastern portion of Missouri, the University is named after President Harry Truman, the only president born in Missouri. Until 1996, the school was known as Northeast Missouri State University, but the Board of Trustees voted to change the school's name to better reflect its statewide mission. In the 2014 U.S. News & World Report College Rankings, Truman placed tenth in the Midwest among regional universities.[5] Truman State is the only public institution in Missouri that is officially designated to pursue highly selective admissions standards.[6][7]
Truman State University was founded in 1867 by Joseph Baldwin as the North Missouri Normal School and Commercial College. Baldwin was a pioneer in education, and his school quickly gained official recognition in 1870 by the Missouri General Assembly, which designated it as the first public teaching college in Missouri.[8]
Twenty-five Missouri counties were designated as the school's college district, including Adair, Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Chariton, Clark, Howard, Knox, Lewis, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Macon, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike, Putnam, Ralls, Randolph, St. Charles, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, Sullivan and Warren.
Purple and white were adopted as the school's official colors after Basil Brewer wrote a school song, "The Purple and the White." They have remained the school colors since.[8]
In 1924 a fire destroyed old Baldwin Hall and the library. The lake that once filled the current quadrangle, or "Quad," (a prominent feature in pre-1924 photographs) was pumped dry in a futile attempt to put out the fire.[8] The Quad now serves as a popular gathering place where students study, play games, hold events and meet with one another.
Years | Name |
1867–68 | North Missouri Normal and Commercial School |
1868–70 | North Missouri Normal School |
1870–1918 | North Missouri Normal School of the First District |
1918–68 | Northeast Missouri State Teachers College (Commonly called Kirksville State Teachers College) |
1968–72 | Northeast Missouri State College |
1972–96 | Northeast Missouri State University |
1996–present | Truman State University |
The college was renamed Northeast Missouri State University in 1972, and, in 1983, the university was awarded the G. Theodore Mitau Award for Innovation and Change in Higher Education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. Northeast Missouri State continued pushing for excellence. On June 20, 1985, Governor John Ashcroft signed a bill that designated the university as Missouri's only statewide public liberal arts and sciences university. This changed the school's mission to a state-wide rather than a regional (northeast) objective. As such, nearly 100 programs were dropped in the span of six years, including all two-year programs that did not fulfill the liberal arts mission.[8]
The school continued to win praise from such publications as US News and World Report and the university's reputation continued to spread. By the 1990s, the university was no longer solely a teachers' college, but also had a nationally-known accounting division and schools of science, mathematics, computer science and literature. Ten years after Governor Ashcroft's designation, Governor Mel Carnahan signed legislation renaming the school Truman State University. Truman State University is designated by statute as Missouri's premier public liberal arts and sciences institution.[8]
Academic mission[edit]
On June 15, 2007, the Board of Governors approved and adopted the University Strategic Plan. In this plan the university will continue its devotion to providing a liberal arts education that is financially accessible. The primary vision, as stated by the Plan, is for Truman to be "America's premier public liberal arts and sciences university."[9] The Plan also lists six goals that outlines an agenda that will be implemented in the next three to five years.
As part of its focus on liberal arts and sciences, Truman requires all students to complete the Liberal Studies Program,[10] or LSP. The LSP is designed to give students a "broad educational experience", and consists of Essential Skills, Modes of Inquiry, and Interconnecting Perspectives sections.

Board of Governors[edit]
Truman State's Board of Governors consists of ten members. Each member is appointed by the Governor of Missouri to serve a four-year term, with a student representative serving for two years. The ten members must meet residential requirements defined by Missouri law as follows:
- Four voting members from inside Truman's regional boundary, provided that not more than one person from the same county is selected.
- Three voting members from in-state, provided that not more than one person is from the same college region defined by Missouri state law.
- Two non-voting members from out-of-state. Former U.S. Housing and Urban Development secretary Alphonso Jackson, a graduate of Truman, served on the board in this capacity for two terms.
- One non-voting member who is a current full-time Truman student. Student groups have lobbied the state to allow this member to vote. The Truman Student Senate recently[when?] passed a unanimous resolution calling for a student to become a voting member of the Board of Governors and sent the resolution to every member of the Missouri Legislature.
The current Board of Governors includes the following members:[11]
- Chair - Susan Plassmeyer, St. Louis, MO
- Vice Chair - Jim O'Donnell, Hannibal, MO
- Secretary - Sarah Burkemper, Troy, MO
- Karen Haber, Kansas City, MO
- Cheryl J. Cozette, Columbia, MO
- Mike LaBeth, Kirksville, MO
- Matthew W. Potter, St. Louis, MO
Board Members – Nonvoting – Out-of-State
- David Lee Bonner, Chicago, IL
- Michael A. Zito, Washington, D.C.
Board Member – Nonvoting – Student Representative
- Kelly Kochanski, St. Louis
The Board of Governors also includes four committees: the Finance and Audit Committee, the Budget and Capital Projects Committee, the Honorary Degrees Committee, and the Truman State University Foundation Board of Directors.[12]
The campus is located on the south side of Kirksville. Truman's main campus is situated around a slightly wooded quadrangle, also known as the "Quad." It is two blocks south of the town square, which includes an eight screen movie theatre and various eateries.
Notable buildings on campus include Pickler Memorial Library, the Kirk Memorial, the Kirk Auditorium Building, Magruder Hall, McClain Hall, Baldwin Hall, Violette Hall, Barnett Hall, Ophelia Parrish, Pershing Arena, the Student Union Building and the Recreation Center (or "The Rec"). The oldest building is not Kirk Building, but is instead the Physical Plant.
Pickler Memorial Library was named after Samuel M. Pickler, who donated funds to rebuild the library after it was destroyed by fire in 1924. Renovated in 1993, it now houses the main computer lab, as well as approximately 500,000 volumes of various works. The front lobby area of Pickler Memorial Library is known as "the Bubble" for its curved glass atrium.[13]
Kirk Memorial is a small, domed structure near the center of campus. The structure is dedicated to John Kirk, the fifth president of the university. It formerly housed Truman's debate team and now houses a few administrative offices. The Kirk Auditorium, now known as "Kirk Building," was once the University's combined gymnasium and auditorium facility. It currently houses the Center for International Education, Student Affairs, Publications and the Department of Sports Information. The Rec is located just north of Centennial Residence Hall and is open everyday except on holidays. It also offers a gymnasium for a variety sports, a weight room, an elevated track, various exercise equipment, and a smaller, multipurpose gym for hockey, indoor soccer, etc. There are seven main academic buildings. Magruder Hall is the science building and houses the departments of Chemistry, physics, Biology and Agriculture. McClain Hall serves as both an administrative and academic building. For the academic portion, Classical & Modern Languages, Economics, English & Linguistics, History, Philosophy & Religion, and Political Science can be found there. Baldwin Hall is connected to McClain Hall and houses the campus auditorium that is best known for hosting cultural events through the Kohlenberg-Lyceum Series. Violette Hall, named after former history professor E.M. Violette, is home to the School of Business, the Mathematics and Computer Science Department and the Education Department. Ophelia Parrish is home to the Art, Music and Theatre Departments. Barnett Hall is home to the departments of Anthropology, Geography and Sociology; Communication; Communication Disorders; Justice Systems; Psychology; ROTC; and Nursing programs. Finally, Pershing Arena is for department of Health and Exercise Science classes.
Services available on campus to students include the student health center, career center, and writing center. The health center is closed on the weekends and holidays. The career center is located on the third floor of the Student Union Building and provides help to students in determining a career path, selecting a major, developing career skills, helping put together a resume, or even conducting mock interviews. The writing center is located on the third floor of McClain and offers critique and editing for student papers.
The student-to-teacher ratio is 17:1, with an average class size of 24, but some classes in a major may have as few as 8 to 10.[2]
Admission to the university is based upon holistic review of a candidate's academic record, with the strongest consideration being given to those who have a combined ability score of 140 or higher. The combined ability score is calculated by adding the percentage of students in the applicant's graduating class that the applicant outranks and the percentage of students the applicant outscored on a nationally-standardized test (usually the ACT, although the SAT is also accepted). Admissions decisions are also based, however, on a mandatory application essay, the applicant's resume, and the applicant's high school and extracurricular record. According to the Princeton Review, Truman has a selectivity rating of 97, a 75% acceptance rate, and an 85% retention rate.[14] All applicants must have 4 credits of English, 3 credits of math, 3 credits of science, 2 credits of foreign language, 2 credits of social studies, and 1 credit of fine art. The average GPA of an admitted student is 3.25 on a 4.0 scale, with 50% of all admitted students ranking in the top 10% of their class, and the median ACT range is 25–31.
The Liberal Studies Program[edit]
On July 20, 1985, the state of Missouri charged Truman State University with serving as the state's premier public liberal arts and sciences university. In order to meet this commitment to the people of Missouri, the Truman faculty and administration created the Liberal Studies Program, the general education curriculum undergraduates complete in order to receive a Truman degree. The Liberal Studies Program consists of three distinct areas:
- Essential Skills for success in liberal studies, including courses in writing as critical thinking, public speaking, elementary functions, statistics, computer literacy and personal well-being.
- Modes of Inquiry by which students may approach problems and issues in other academic areas. The eight modes in the Modes of Inquiry have been separated into two separate areas Qualitative and Quantitative, each representing four academic areas. Students must complete coursework in three of the four academic areas in each category: fine arts, literature, history, and philosophy/religion are based under the Qualitative Modes while mathematics, life science, physical science and social science are under the Quantitative Modes.
- Interconnecting Perspectives that allow students to understand and appreciate better the knowledge they have gained. This includes taking a series of writing-enhanced courses, an interdisciplinary seminar course in the junior year, at least two semesters of a foreign language, and participating in an intercultural experience (this can be fulfilled through any one of a series of courses or by going on any study abroad trip).
The School of Arts and Letters is the home of the departments of Art, Classical & Modern Languages, English & Linguistics, Music and Theatre. Degrees offered through the school include Art, Art History, Classics, English, French, German, Linguistics, Music, Romance Languages, Russian, Spanish, Theatre and Visual Communications. In addition to the 17 distinct undergraduate majors offered, the school also offers 6 graduate programs, including Music and English.[15]
The School of Business offers degrees in Business Administration (BA or BS) with emphasis in Finance, Management, Marketing and International Business (BA only). In addition, a BS and MAcc in Accounting are offered, with the graduate program ranked third in the nation in terms of CPA passage rates.[16]
The School of Health Sciences & Education offers degrees Communication Disorders (graduate and undergraduate), Nursing, Health Science, Exercise Science and Education (MAE only). Education students can emphasize in elementary education, special education, English, exercise science, foreign language, music, mathematics, science and visual arts.[17]
The School of Science and Mathematics offers degrees in Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics.[18] The school also offers Missouri's only undergraduate interdisciplinary degree program in mathematical biology,[19] and it coordinates the Missouri Pre-STEM Pathways Program[20] with Moberly Area Community College, Metropolitan Community College - Kansas City, and St. Charles Community College.
The School of Social & Cultural Studies offers degrees in Communication, Economics, History, Justice Systems, Military Science (minor only), Philosophy & Religion, Political Science, Psychology, Geography (minor only) and Sociology/Anthropology.[21]
Students are also free to create their own interdisciplinary majors or to minor in any of the approved interdisciplinary minors, which include African/African-American Studies, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Cognitive Sciences, Environmental Studies, Folklore, Forensic Science, International Studies, Italian Studies, Mathematical Biology, Medieval Studies and Women's and Gender Studies.[22]
Campus life[edit]
Residence life[edit]
In the 1960s the university built Dobson Hall (1961), Ryle Hall (1963), Missouri Hall (1965) and Centennial Hall (1967). There are three other residence halls on campus: Blanton-Nason-Brewer (1948, Brewer added in 1959), Ezra C. Grim Hall (1923), and West Campus Suites (2006). The residence halls are maintained by ResLife, an administrative body of professionals and students who live in the halls and act as student advisors (SA's) and hall directors. Truman's residence halls are currently undergoing a $90 million renovation schedule. This project included the construction of West Campus Suites in 2006, the renovation of Missouri Hall in 2006, Blanton-Nason-Brewer in 2007, and Dobson in 2008. Ryle Hall's two-year renovation concluded in the summer of 2011, and Centennial is scheduled to undergo a two-year renovation starting in the summer of 2012.
Dobson Hall is coed by wing and houses roughly 400 students. Dobson features community-style bathrooms, study areas, laundry facilities, air conditioning in all rooms and a convenience store, but no cafeteria.[23]
Ryle Hall is the second largest hall at Truman. This coed residence hall houses nearly 600 students in suite-style rooms. The standard arrangement is two bedrooms, or four people, sharing one bathroom. Ryle has a spacious main lounge that is often used for on-campus events. The hall features a cafeteria, computer labs, mailboxes, vending machines, automated teller machines (ATMs), laundry rooms, and also house a classroom used by New Student Programs (NSP).[24]
Centennial Hall (commonly called "C-Hall") is the largest residence hall on campus. This coed hall houses nearly 600 students in suite-style rooms. Like Ryle, the standard arrangement is two rooms, or four people, sharing one bathroom. Centennial also has a spacious main lounge that is often used for small on-campus events. The hall features a cafeteria, computer labs, mailboxes, vending machines, ATMs, laundry rooms and also a large study lounge. The primary difference between Ryle and Centennial is that Ryle's lounge is located on the first floor with its cafeteria below, and that Centennial's cafeteria bisects the second floor, with the lounge area sitting directly below. Centennial will be the final residence hall renovation on Truman's campus, completing an eight-year renovation schedule of all of the residence halls; the hall being renovated similarly to Ryle, in 2 stages. The first from 2012–2013 and the second from 2013–2014.[25]
Missouri Hall (commonly called "MO Hall") is a coed residence hall that houses 518 students, making it the third largest on campus. Missouri Hall is made up of seven different wings. On both the north and south sides of the building three wings join with a common lounge. The two common lounges are linked by a seventh "crossover" wing. From overhead, the building is shaped like an elongated asterisk. While each wing is either male or female, each "house" (the north or south side of a single floor) includes both male and female wings. The building also houses a large cafeteria, study rooms, laundry facilities and many public kitchens. A renovation of Missouri Hall began in the summer of 2006 and concluded during the summer of 2007. The upgrade included improved air conditioning, renovated bathrooms, wiring upgrades, improved community space, an updated dining hall, and a new lobby.[26]
Blanton-Nason-Brewer (commonly called "BNB"), offers three floors of suite-style, coed living arrangements to students. Originally three separate buildings connected by breezeways, the building underwent a major renovation in the 2007–2008 academic year and is now one, unified residence hall. The north wing, Brewer Hall, is primarily used as sorority housing. The east and south wings, respectively Nason Hall and Blanton Hall, are used as regular housing. BNB does not have its own dining hall, so residents typically walk to Missouri Hall, which is next door. The hall offers two large lounges with fireplaces on the first floor. The second and third floors have open community lounge areas, study rooms, computer workstations, laundry facilities, trash and recycling areas, and public kitchens.[27]
Grim Hall is the smallest residence hall on campus, with a capacity of just 68 residents. It is also unusual in its hardwood flooring and house-like appearance. Originally a dormitory for nurses at the adjacent Grim-Smith Hospital, it was later acquired by the University in the 1930s. For many years Grim was also the "International Dorm" by striving to maintain a population of at least one third foreign students. Because of its small size, Grim Hall sometimes feels more like a home than a large housing complex; much of its personality comes from its residents differentiating Grim from the large residence halls.[28]
West Campus Suites, just northwest of Centennial Hall, opened its doors to 416 students in Fall 2006. Currently, all floors are coed by suite. Each room (with the exception of single rooms for eight student advisors and apartments for the hall director and community coordinator) consists of two bedrooms attached to a central living room, sink, kitchen cabinets and large bathroom. All suites have individual central air conditioning. Each floor has its own dedicated lounge, 2 study rooms, laundry facilities, trash and recycling center, campus events bulletin board, and computer labs. A favorite amenity of students is the convenience store located off of the main lobby.[29]
Truman offers the option of three campus-owned apartments for student living: Randolph, Campbell and Fair. Randolph and Campbell Apartments provide residents with a kitchen area, while students living in Fair Apartments use their meal plan to eat on campus. Fair is located across the street from Violette Hall, Campbell is located next to the tennis courts, and Randolph is located behind Dobson Hall.[30]
Yet another option is Farm Hall, located at the University Farm. Only a handful of students, often majors in agricultural science, live here each year. Their work on the farm helps them gain useful first-hand experience, as well as help pay for room and board.
Student organizations[edit]
All students are encouraged to explore their particular interests and find quality, cocurricular experiences to participate in. Truman offers approximately 250 different student organizations[2] in the following areas:
- Academic/Professional
- Campus Media
- Cultural
- Fee-Based
- Fine Arts
- Greek
- Health and Wellness
- Honorary
- Political
- Recreational/Sports
- Religious
- Residence Life
- Service
- Special Interest
- University Department[31]
A newly developed organization for many business and economics students of the university is the Bulldog Student Investment Fund, where students invest a portion of the Truman State endowment in the stock and bond markets in an effort to outperform the market. The organization hopes to eventually use the proceeds from the fund's returns to sponsor future scholarships for Truman students.

International Students[edit]
Truman enrolls students from all over the world. According to 2009 figures from the International Student Affair Office, 309 students represent 45 countries, including Nepal, China and Vietnam.[34]
Campus Lore[edit]
- The weather vane atop Kirk Memorial is welded in place so that it will always point northeast, in honor of the school's previous name and its location.[35]
- In 2012 a large capital letter "F" was created in the concrete on the East walkway into Violette Hall. It is rumored that if you enter through this entrance on the day of a test, you will fail the test. Students recommend that you walk around to another entrance on test days, even if it makes you late.
- "The Ghost of Centennial Hall" is named "Joan," who has been said to be a student killed in an auto accident in the 1970s. In addition, "Charlotte" and an unnamed little boy have haunted Grim Hall for 70 years, and "Gina" watches over the women of Ryle. See external link "Truman Ghost Stories," below.
- Students traditionally stuck their chewing gum on a redbud tree on the east side of campus.[36] This "gum tree" was decorated in colorful wads, and at times, it even sported students' names. Lore has it that the concept of the gum tree originated in the 1920s when it was against the rules to chew gum in class. The tree was vandalized and knocked down by an unknown party in 2000, but students quickly adopted another tree.[37]
- The sunken garden, site of many student weddings, is actually the cellar left from the Baldwin Hall fire of 1924. Due to the frequency of student weddings in the sunken garden, a campus myth came into common circulation. It is alleged that if a new couple has their first kiss at midnight on one of the two benches located in the sunken garden, the couple will eventually get married.
- A row of large, clapperless bells is fixed in a brick wall on the quad. The Bell Wall was built and dedicated at the Centennial Celebration in 1967. The bells were donated by Joe Burdman, local businessman and University benefactor. The historic bells were collected from abandoned churches, schoolhouses and public buildings in northeast Missouri. Each bell was meant to represent the ideals of liberty, justice, religion, and education.
- The annual football game against Northwest Missouri State University was established in 1930 when Northwest president Uel W. Lamkin sent Fair a polished hickory stick from the farm where the former president Eugene Fair was born. The "Hickory Stick" has since been contested annually.[38]
- For many years, an irregularly-shaped portion of sidewalk (which had previously been home to a tree) was called the "sacred potato," and was the focus of a number of rituals and superstitions: one should never step on it if one had a test that same day; sticking a knife into a potato on the spot at midnight warded off a failing grade. Stepping on the sacred potato had been rumored to cause one to either fail their next test or become pregnant. Around 2002, campus facilities replaced the sidewalk, sparking student complaints.
- The statue of President Truman formerly located in Pickler Memorial Library was said to bestow good fortune on any student who borrowed a penny from his hat for a test. However, lore held any good fortune would be negated if the penny was not returned the same day. These 'Truman Pennies' were placed by students studying for tests in the library, and it was also considered good luck to place a penny in the hat. However, the statue was moved to the new Ruth Towne Museum and Visitors Center (named after long-time faculty member Dr. Ruth Warner Towne, who donated $1 million to create the museum of University and northeast Missouri artifacts) on the corner of Normal and Franklin just north of campus.
Army ROTC[edit]
Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) was established at Truman in 1969. Approximately 200 Truman students are members of the "Bulldog Battalion" and enroll in military science courses each semester. Students completing the ROTC program are additionally awarded a minor in Military Science.
Truman is a member of NCAA Division II and plays in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), joining the conference in 2013 after having been a member of the Mid–America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) since that league's creation in 1912. Because the GLVC does not sponsor wrestling, that team remained in the MIAA.
The athletic department sponsors 18 teams, ten each for men and women. Among Truman's most recent successes include: four regional championships for women's volleyball, a regional berth for men's basketball in 2006, and undefeated regular seasons for both men's and women's soccer. The women's swim team won six consecutive NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships national titles for Division II between 2001 and 2006 and won again in 2008 again beating their in state rival Drury University.

Received my stock for a .220 Swift Mauser 98 project. After hearing horror stories about Richard's service and quality control, I figured what the heck, considering the price was right and they had the style I wanted, a Bench Mark style in "Black Widow laminate". I knew the lead time would be long so I placed the order about two months ago. I chose the 99% press fit. Stock showed up today. As expected, it needs a fair amount of attention on the exterior (starting with a rasp I suspect...). With baited breath I test fit the action and was very pleasantly surprised. It fit just slightly snug, with just enough "extra" to inlet things perfectly and glass bed. The barrel channel will need to be sanded out to fit, but again I expected that. If anyone was considering a Richard's and had some hesitation, I can say that at least I had a decent experience. A few words though: Place your order well in advance, save a copy of your credit card receipt with the charge to Richard's because they charge your card immediately. They don't send any kind of receipt either. If you try to call to check on the progress, they really have no way to tell where your order stands. I realize there are quite a few bad business practices present here, but it appears the quality has improved, and as far as final finishing goes I kinda enjoy that type of work. They have a HUGE selection of actions they cut for as well. And I'm not affiliated with them either. Oh, and in a pathetic plea, I am still looking for a 'smith to true up the action, and finish ream and install a short chambered barrel on a M98 action. Anyone interested?

I'm glad you like Richards. I like them pretty good but I usually make my own from blanks. They have excellent prices on fancy Claro Walnut blanks. I'm sure MasterPsmith or somebody is still in the business and can help you.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
It has been many years since I bought a stock from Richards. But 20 years ago they were pleasant to deal with and had a good selection on hand. Are they still in CA?

Braves 10
(8-5, 3-4 away)
Diamondbacks 2
(7-6, 4-3 home)
Coverage: FSAZ
9:40 PM ET, April 19, 2012
Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
W: M. Minor (2-1)
L: J. Collmenter (0-1)
PHOENIX -- Freddie Freeman and Mike Minor almost made it look easy.
Freeman hit a pair of two-run home runs and drove in a career-high five runs, and Minor struck out nine in a career-high eight innings, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 10-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night."It's just good for the whole team just to go deep in the game and not have the relievers having so many innings like they had last year," Minor said. "Really, it just puts the team at ease."The Braves scored three runs in the sixth and eighth innings, highlighted by a two-run single by Juan Francisco in the sixth and Martin Prado's eighth-inning, two-run double. Freeman has 10 RBIs in his past three games."Just feeling good at the plate and got a couple of mistakes, and I was actually able to hit them," Freeman said. It was the second two-homer game of his career.Diamondbacks starter Josh Collmenter (0-1) had his longest outing of the season after struggling in his first two. He was charged with four earned runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings Thursday, dropping his earned run average to 10.22."I finally felt real comfortable on the mound," Collmenter said. "It was nice to finally understand what I was doing."We battled back in the game, and you think everything is going well and then four hits (in the sixth inning). They couldn't have been thrown in better spots."The defending NL West champions lost their third straight."Baseball," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's not fun to be a part of it, but you have to endure these times. We've been through it before, last year."The Diamondbacks, defending NL West champions, lost their third straight game. They hadn't lost three in a row since Sept. 14, 16 and 17 of last season.Minor (2-1) allowed one earned run on five hits. He gave up back-to-back singles in the fourth but Jason Kubel was thrown out at home by Prado while trying to score from second on Aaron Hill's single to left field.The Diamondbacks tied it at two in the fifth after A.J. Pollock got his first major league RBI on a sacrifice fly.After Francisco's single during a three-run sixth, Freeman went deep again, this time off reliever Wade Miley, to make it 7-2.The Diamondbacks were without right fielder Justin Upton in the starting lineup for the third straight game. The two-time All-Star has been limited because of a thumb injury.Game notes
Chipper Jones was given a day off Thursday. He's played in six of the Braves' 13 games after missing the first four recovering from left knee surgery and dealt with swelling in the knee late last week. "If it acts up, we'll give him another day," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. RHP Tim Hudson made a third rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, tossing five innings and allowing one unearned run on two hits with three walks and four strikeouts. Gonzalez said Hudson will throw closer to 100 pitches in a rehab start next Tuesday with the plan for him to be activated for a series against Pittsburgh later this month. RHP Anthony Varvaro made his first rehab appearance Thursday for Gwinnett, and pitched a scoreless inning. ... Diamondbacks SS Stephen Drew played three innings in an extended spring training game Thursday in Scottsdale and went 1-for-4 with a double. Drew is coming back from breaking his right ankle in July. Video of the Coyotes' game-winning goal in overtime at Chicago in Game 5 of their NHL playoff series drew cheers.

dys4ia is no longer available on newgrounds. it can be downloaded at:
dys4ia is an autobiographical game about the period in my life when i started hormone replacement therapy.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I think this flash demonstrates how and why one makes a proper art game. It's like an interpretive dance that actually works.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I keep playing this game..the story is lovely <3
Reminds me of my boyfriend. :'3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game is glorious. It is not particularly good-looking or fancy, but it doesn't need to be. I applaud your determination to reach a point where you are happy with yourself and who you are. It takes a lot of guts to go against what everyone else thinks you should do and rise above those petty pressures.
All the best to you and your girlfriend, and all the happiness in the world to you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I loved the game. I like the simplicity, and the message. But I'm confused. I feel a little stupid asking you this. But saying that you're a ma'am in the beginning, and then taking Estrogen. I'm just wondering if you are a natural born woman with more testosterone, or a man? I'm sorry if I offend you.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Being trans myself, I can understand a lot of what you went through. The road to successfully living as oneself is tough to begin with, but throw gender dysphoria into the mix and things become so much more complicated.
but I digress. the issue at hand is your game, not my past experiences.
overall, I quite enjoyed your game. however, for some reason, the sizing is entirely wrong. it zooms in to the point where I can't see the whole screen, and I can't seem to fix this (I did attempt to right click and zoom out, though nothing happened)
despite that, the game wasn't unplayable. I did feel as though I may have missed some things being unable to read all of the text though.

Write a ReviewNice lamps
By Randy o. from Fort Wayne, IN on Oct 02, 2014
These lamps were exactly what we wanted for our bedroom night tables. Both the lamps and shades are attractive and appear to be good quality. The 3 way switch allowing up to 150 watts provides excellent light. Very satisfied.

We are at a critical point in our nation's history. In the face of deep austerity measures, working and poor people are uniting. In the last few weeks alone, teachers in Chicago won a historic strike and Walmart workers walked out on the job for the first time. We must keep building the momentum.
And that is why I believe that Green presidential candidate Jill Stein has the most thoughtful and thorough platforms for the American people.
Can you pitch in $50 to Jill Stein's campaign? If you've been waiting for the right moment to give, that time is now.
Ralph Nader puts it well:
A donation of $50 is critical in increasing our outreach to new voters seeking a change. Every dollar sends the message that status quo politics is not good enough. Together we will build the demand for Jill Stein's Full Employment Program, breaking up the banks "too big to fail," and a Green New Deal for all of us.
We have so much at stake. By uniting our forces we can create and build our own alternatives to a system that is only helping a select few. Together we can rebuild a healthier democracy.
Please show your support today.

Tan, Gregorio
One of the very few hotels in the area actually a condotel, so price is more expensive than most condotels service is variable so it depends which employee you encounter, breakfast is great with the staff very courteous and willing to help. Elevator gets to be crowded and not well maintained and the towels are not clean looking, i also did not get my wake up call as well as the follow up wake up call which is my number one priority in a hotel, i almost missed my flight. The location is excellent just walk along 30th street for a variety of restaurants and shops, Sm aura and Market market is at the end of the street about 30 minute walk from the hotel, might be back simply because of its location.

Me and my girlfriend were surprised upon reaching the front desk as they informed us that they upgraded our room from a deluxe king to a fort suite. We had little trouble with the elevator since there was someone to show us how the card worked with the elevator. The room was really nice, clean and had a great view of the city. It was just a few minutes to good restaurants and really close to St. Luke's. The breakfast at the 5th floor was nice too, we're definitely coming back there.
Feb 2014
1. Lack of parking space. 2. Inconsistent temperature of water shower. 3. Late notice on the extension of room. 4. Lobby needs improvement. 5. The Manager specifically Mr. Jake is apologetic and friendly. 6. The staff are friendly. 7. Interior of the room is modern and relaxing.

There is no lobby, which is a bit of a shock if you are used to staying in large hotels. There never seemed enough staff on duty, all it took was one or two guest and you were waiting. On leaving they gave away OUR pre-booked taxi to someone else, and we nearly missed our flight. I would not recommend this hotel.

Before heading to our next vacation my wife and I decided to study up on the tropical rainforest in the Amazon. My wife was very curious about all the Amazon rainforest animals and what we might encounter on this vacation. Both of us love going to exotic places and sharing our many stories of the local wildlife. This trip would be especially great because both of us love studying all about rainforest animals. It was funny the other day when our daughter came into the room and was curious about this vacation we were planning. She had no idea what is a rainforest or where is the rainforest, so we had to show her lots of pictures.
Our daughter loved to look at all over the rainforest animals and thought they were kind of cute. We were also studying the extinct species in the Amazon rainforest to see what life was previously like. I think this will be a very interesting trip, one in which our entire family is really going to appreciate. Nobody I know has ever been to the tropical rainforest, so we will have lots of exciting information to share with everyone.

On 4th down a Miami player jumped on the pile after the play was dead, 1st down would have held but pushed them back 15 yds and out of f/g range. On the next play Jarvis Green was held and held back with no call. These refs are horrible today. I won't even mention the roughing the passer on Wilfork, which put them in f/g range.
IT DOESNT MATTER HOW WE LOSE. A LOSS WILL BE A LOSS. you think when your trying to make playoffs that people will say..well they got screwed by 2 back to back calls..so they should be the best? we need to play better
i thought it was a blatant hold on jarvis as well.. and the worst part is the ref is standing right in front of it and throws no flag..
With the way this offense has played today, we could have gotten all those calls and still not have won. No excuses.
Now a bad call on Miami for roughing the passer, followed by trying to give the Pats an extra down. Maybe the refs went out and partied with the Pats offense last night. That would explain why their both unprepared today.
The officials did not lose this game. The only really bad call was the one on Wilfork. Calling them huge calls make us sound like losers. We stunk today.
Yeah, no excuses. Miami were a much better team than us tonight. The calls had nothing to do with the result.

I am an admitted Rager and I need an intervention
So I just got off a 2 week ban, happy to be back.
However, I've played 4 games of ranked and I can't help but just want to smash my keyboard. I always run into these people that just activate my rage mode and it just goes to hell from there. Albeit I haven't cursed in them, so perhaps I'm learning little by little. WHAT DOES ONE DO TO CONTROL THINE RAGE? |
Your arrogance. Two words. You think you're better than all your teammates, so you get mad. Have you ever did bad and had someone rage at you? Remember how you felt... and if you haven't then remember how bad you felt losing the game for your team.
Mature, and suck it up. |
Don't let other players bring you to that point of rage inducing moments, it's going to just bring down your game and possibly get you banned. Try and get the game done while working together with the team, and hope the next games will be better.
I'd like to add though that I just played a game where we had baron and the vayne on our team facechecked an obvious trap and lost it for us.. ~trying not to rage~ |
Don't play ranked.
Don't press enter.
At all. |
break off your enter key, or go to anger management
Play music.
Instead of going "WHAT THE ---- H-LL WHAT WAS THAT?!" Laugh at little mistakes YOU make and identify and correct what you did wrong, THEY make and say "alright, I learned my team cant do this, so I cant rely on that." or give them advice "You should try this instead next time, it'll make a difference." If nothing else, start playing with someone who can make you laugh. When your team goes into a 4v3 and gives a triple kill to ADC, you can tolerate an unusually untolerable game if you have a friend just say "THE ENEMY SPREES IN THIS GAME, IS TOO DMN HIGH!" |
Let Jesus enter you heart then.
you are not going to be a pro so what is the point of raging? The point of you playing this game is just for fun, isn't it? so if you got pissed off and stressed out then quit it. You lost your point of playing the game.
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:05 AM. |

Phoenix's B-movie Review: Ghost Writer
Today we have something very special a b-movie double header! Yup, that's right two actors of some note together in one bad movie. This little gem stars Alan Cumming (look him up, you'll recognize him when you see him and say 'oh yeah, *that* guy), and David Boreanaz (did I spell that right? Never mind...I'll look it up later) of 'Angel' and 'Bones' fame.
First I'd like to stress that I found this movie under the category of 'Comedy'. If by 'comedy' they meant 'will make you feel like you are clinically insane but you're the only one who knows', then, yes, it is a laugh riot. Although it is labeled as a comedy here is the description word for word: "When he discovers that his boarder, a promising young novelist who owes months of back rent has been taking advantage of his hospitality, the frustrated musician ties him up and beats him."
I defy you to tell me that's not the back drop for good times.
Movie starts out with a small town horror slasher flick feel to it, with Bach playing while the camera slowly moves around the inside of a classic old house that looks like it was decorated by Theodore Roosevelt's mother. From there we meet Alan Cumming's character, a failing music teacher. He is with his hopeless young Asian student, who is torturing a cello.
After a brief scene with the girl that is like any other student/teacher argument about how they both suck the camera changes to the inside of a swank L.A night club where David Boreanaz is on the prowl. He invites himself to a table of attractive and powerful looking young women. He introduces himself to a woman and tells her that he's a writer. She's interested because she happens to own a huge publishing company in New York.
Before Boreanaz can pitch his book and perhaps lift himself out of poverty and into a life of fame...he gets distracted by something shiny. Getting up he off offhandedly mentions that he'll be back and walks off. Crossing the room with purpose he stares a woman down to the point where she physically backs up and stumbles backwards through the bathroom door. He presses her against the wall and begins to rip her clothes off. She protests in the form of 'but I don't even know your name'. He responds by turning her around, ripping her underwear off, forcing her against the wall, and has his way with her.
The woman doesn't seem to mind the violent rape (he does look like David Boreanaz after all) and plays along. Boreanaz finishes with her and goes back to the publisher...and has sex with her as well.
Back to Cumming (not that we ever really left that topic). He is complaining to his friend that Boreanaz is running up his phone bill, and hasn't paid rent in six months. Trying to determine if Boreanaz is even a writer, as he claims, they go through his stuff. They find a ream of blank paper, some pencils, and a pair of black lace lady's underwear and matching bra. The friend suggests that he kick him out and Cumming agrees, but he goes to bed instead.
Cut to four o'clock in the morning. Boreanaz returns 'home' so drunk that he is literally crawling on the floor. There is a lightning storm outside that is flashing and lighting up the scene. He has a woman with him who is easily three times his age. She is also blind drunk. They crash around the house a bit while she exclaims that she wants to keep him as a pet and take care of him. She will pay for this by dancing in titty bars and letting dirty old men touch her.
At this point in the movie I'm losing my sense of reality.
Boreanaz suddenly realizes that he has not brought home a young attractive women when she starts talking about her grandchildren (which are probably about his age). He tries to get her to go away, but instead somehow ends up playing 'chopsticks' on the piano while she gives him a blow job (classy). She's got experience and he does manage to hit that high note for what is at least the third time that night.
Cumming hears all the noise and comes down stairs where upon he has a fit (can't really blame him) and chases the woman out of the house. Cumming and Boreanaz begin to argue and yell about their own relationship culminating in Cummings exclaiming: "You are a penny less man-whore with the IQ of a rash!"
Okay so that part was funny.
I forget who throws the first punch, but a physical fight breaks out. In what I believe is a physiological impossibility Cumming manages to knock Boreanaz unconscious by hitting him with a fireplace iron...on the shin. The last time I checked people don't tend to black out when you strike them in the leg, no matter how hard you swing.
I thought the movie had gotten as deranged and surreal as it could possibly get. I was wrong.
Boreanaz regains consciousness only to find that he has been dressed in the set of lacy lady's panties and bra, duct tapped to a chair, and for some reason wrapped in colored christmas tree lights.
My guess is that the writers came up with this idea after downing a liter of absinthe and then taking turns with autoerotic asphyxiation. Which by amazing coincidence is the exact same series of events that led Boreanaz to sign the contract agreeing to do this movie.
Boreanaz is understandably confused (probably wondering where his life as an actor, or even as a human being, went so horribly wrong). Cumming has collected all of the bills and expenses that have piled up since Boreanaz moved him. Still not believing that his guest is a writer he makes a deal, he will ask him a literary question for each bill with multiple choice answers. If he gets the question right he'll tear up the bill and call the debut clean. If he gets it wrong he'll beat him with a cello bow (this thing turns out to be a dangerous weapon capable of cutting deep into flesh, I would never had picked this as a weapon in the coming zombie apocalypse, but now it's my number three choice right after chainsaw and cricket bat).
The movie has turned into a train wreck, in as much as you know that you shouldn't be watching, but you can't turn away.
Anyway, Boreanaz manages to get some of the questions right, and fails at others. After playing this game for a while Cumming force feeds him some Ambien and then goes upstairs when his friend stops by. While he's talking to his friend Boreanaz manages to free himself. In what must be the proudest moment of both of their lives they end up in a tooth and nail fight crawling and writhing around on the floor (Boreanaz still in his lady's undies and christmas tree lights), beating each other with dead flowers that are scattered around the house for some reason.
Boreanaz suddenly disappears. Cumming hears him (or thinks he does) down in the cellar. Boreanaz has actually run off to get an axe and hide behind a door (Shinning style). He launches himself at Cumming with the axe. Cumming screams like a girl and steps aside. Drunk on Ambien and adrenaline Boreanaz missteps and falls down the cellar stairs. He lands on the axe, sinking it deep into his stomach.
Cumming stuffs Boreanaz's body into a large duffle bag and keeps it in the living room (let's not not get picky about how Cumming could get a 190 pounds of Boreanaz up the stairs, it's jut a movie after all...oh...wait that look on your face was probably more about the fact that Cumming decided to keep a rotting corpse in his living room. I have no answer for that). Cumming returns to his life, even has his Asian student over, who is having a hard time playing because of the smell.
During his captivity Boreanaz tells Cumming where he can find the draft of his book. Cumming finally reads it and decides with a little grammar clean up it could be good. So he cleans it up, and sends it into that publisher that Boreanaz nailed.
She *loves* the book. Everyone loves the book. Cumming is a star. A best selling author. This is where Boreanaz returns as a 'ghost', more of a zombie look, and starts telling Cumming that he wants to help write the next two books in the contract. Cumming wants nothing to do with this apparition and heads to a book release party.
While at the party Cumming meets another young writer who is just trying to get started. He gives him a ride home and tells him that he will take him in, give him a place to live, mentor him. In gratitude the guy goes to give him a blow job (of course, that's a normal human reaction). The man suddenly turns into Zombie Boreanaz giving him a blow job (not as much fun as it sounds). Cumming freaks out and jumps out of his limo and is promptly hit by a garbage truck (again, this part is actually pretty funny).
In the grand finale Cumming is paralyzed in his new apartment and some reporter is asking him about Boreanaz and says that the wife of the District Attorney of L.A (the grandma with the piano) says that Boreanaz is the real writer and that he's missing. Cumming kicks her out of his apartment. He goes to the window and you hear Boreanaz telling him not to worry about it...they have a book to write.
Yeah...this movie was a real laugh riot. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go roofie myself in hopes that I can forget any of this ever happened.

Man accused of stalking leads sheriff on two parish chase
LIVINGSTON PARISH, LA (NBC33) — A man wanted on stalking charges is locked up after deputies say the suspect led them on a chase that went through two parishes over the weekend.
Deputies in Livingston Parish say Johnathan Livingston started to speed away from a deputy when he was being pulled over. The chase started over the weekend in Walker.
We're told spike strips had to be used in East Baton Rouge Parish to put the chase to an end.

Though beset by a two-year impasse in the negotiations, rejection by the Israeli government, and a budgetary crisis, Abbas was poised to mount a controversial bid for international recognition at the United Nations, which could have revived support. But the Gaza fighting is making him look like a spectator rather than a central player to the regional events; the Palestinian Authority isn't believed to be a part of the cease-fire talks, which are led by Egypt and include Qatar, Turkey, and Tunisia.
"The UN bid of the Palestinian Authority is one of the early casualties of this war... the political significance of this move is going to be much less than it could have been. All the attention is going to this war,'' says Ghassan Khatib, a Palestinian political analyst and former spokesman for the Palestinian Authority.
Escalating war?
"If this war will continue, I think the protests will expand and escalate. It has a radicalizing effect on the population," Mr. Khatib adds.
There were unconfirmed reports of hundreds of demonstrators in Hebron, in villages south of Jerusalem, and outside of the Jalameh crossing into Israel in the northern West Bank. Yesterday two Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli forces at West Bank demonstrations, and the body of one of those killed was carried through Manara Square under a thicket of Palestinian flags and with an escort of Palestinian security forces.
