Poet Reads From Her Work
Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the most influential and important poetic voices of modern America. Her early poetry, dramatic character studies from the fictional ghetto "Bronzeville" focused on the lives of local people who represent all that is "luminously indiscreet." She achieved early success for exciting experiments with rhythm, her passionate attention to details, and powerful refrains.
In 1967 her work began to change as she began to write more directly about her experiences as a black woman and a poet. In her hometown of Chicago, where she has lived since 1917, Brooks organized workshops for young black writers and helped the white community to become aware of the power and depth of a new generations of black poets. Her heroic voice has borne witness to and been a voice for change in the tumultuous decades of post-World War II America.
Gwendolyn Brooks has received many honors including the Pulitzer Prize for her book Annie Allen (1989) and was appointed Poet Laureate of Illinois (1968-present), succeeding Carl Sandburg. The Gwendolyn Brooks Junior High School in Harvey, Illinois was named in her honor in 1981, and she has been Distinguished University Professor at Chicago State University. Please join us for this reading by one of America's legendary bards.

Dinner Theater
The Senator Wore Pantyhose by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore
April 17-19, 1997 Dinner and Play 6:00 p.m.
So, what does the American public look for when voting for a president? Honesty? Commitment to issues? Integrity? Paige Gordon (Alicia Keyes), campaign advisor to presidential hopeful Senator Gabby Sandalson (Chris "Cha Chi" Monjoy) doesn't think so, and she is out to make sure her honest candidate wins-using the time honored methods of scandal, mud-slinging and show-biz. Besides dragging him to the Sluckup Inn in rural Pennsylvania and scheduling him to kiss the local girl's (Nikki Smythe) baby, Paige mousses Gabby's hair, darkens his eyebrows, and sets up a false scandal to get publicity. She also secures him the support of the televangelist Rev. Johnny Burgemeister (Austin Sheppard), and his loyal wife, Honey Pie (Kiki Gaffney). However, Burgemeister refuses to support the senator until he meets Mrs. Sandalson (Lisa Wile)-but no one seems to know where she is, especially not the escaped convicts Antonia Pinella (Biff Jones) and Paddy McMutton (Louis Levine) who keep telling everyone that he is the future First Lady!
As night falls on the Sluckup Inn, the confusion mounts, and everyone, even the Inn's fussy, antique-loving owner (Chris Rogers) gets caught with their pants down when Dawn "Scoop" Bother (Jen Hagen) arrives to cover a scandal that quickly becomes far larger than the false one Paige manufactured. So, don't wait for the tabloids-come see for yourself what happens when Under the Lights performs Van Zandt and Milmore's farcical spoof of political campaigning, The Senator Wore Pantyhose (1989). It may forever change your view of running for president-and convince you that you never want to!

California Gold Rush Band: Gold Rush Period Music
In January 1848 gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill. This event marks the beginning of a mass migration to California as dozens of miners came to pan the river for the precious commodity. With this rush of people came a call for society and entertainment, and dozens of musicians and bands stepped in to answer that call.
The California Gold Rush Band is an authentic portrayal of the numerous brass bands that existed during this period in American history. Using genuine 19th century brass instruments and richly designed costumes, the members of this group transport audiences back to a time when California was still young and the promise of gold was as real as it has ever been.
Members of the California Gold Rush Band have worked hard to recover music from the Gold Rush period, although much of it has been destroyed by fires and earthquakes. Extensive research has allowed them to put together several fantastic programs to recreate both the music and the mood of the time.
The California Gold Rush Band is comprised of professional musicians from the Los Angeles area who are active in studio, symphonic, commercial, and chamber music. They have performed at brass band festivals in Kentucky, Michigan, South Dakota, and Montana, as well as in a number of museums and historical celebrations. They recently released a recording, The Brass Mounted Army: Music of the Old Horse Cavalry, which features music associated with the early U.S. Cavalry.

From CMC to the ICU: Reflections on Becoming a Doctor
The curriculum vitae for Lorraine Bell Ware, M.D., reveals a young woman who apparently knew what she wanted to do with her life early during her college career, and then proceeded to successfully do all the right things in preparation for her chosen profession.
Ware graduated summa cum laude from CMC with honors in a dual major in chemistry and biology. Her senior research thesis was entitled "Structural determinations of a lipopolysaccharide in Myxococcus xanthus." At CMC she received numerous honors including the Berger outstanding senior student award, initiation into Phi Beta Kappa, Claremont McKenna College distinguished scholar for eight semesters, and the McKenna achievement award from 1988 to 1992.
Lest you think she spent all her time in science labs, Ware admits to going to a lot of parties. She was also a member of the swim team, head life guard, president of Marks dorm the year it was named "dorm of the year," and played violin in the orchestra.
Ware graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1992, and she also completed her internship and residency in internal medicine there. She is currently on a fellowship in pulmonary and critical-care medicine at the University of California at San Francisco.
The Athenaeum is proud to welcome Lorraine Ware '88 back to CMC as part of the series recognizing Distinguished Alumni and Women in Medicine.

Globalization and Its Discontent
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1997 4:00 p.m.

Friedman Professor of Economics at Stanford University, Michael Boskin is internationally recognized for his research on world economic growth. He is the author of more than 100 books and articles.

In addition to Stanford and the University of California, he has taught at Harvard and Yale.
Boskin has received numerous professional awards and citations, including Stanford's distinguished teaching award and the National Association of Business Economists' Abramson Award. He is known in academe, government, and business for his candor, insight, and integrity.
You are welcome to attend this afternoon lecture by esteemed economist, Michael Boskin, who will speak at 4:00 p.m. in the Security Pacific Room in the Athenaeum. This lecture is the third annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics, funded by a grant from the Phillip McKenna Foundation.
Proposition 209 and the Future of Civil Rights in America
As chairman of the Yes on Proposition 209 campaign and a member of the University of California Board of Regents, Ward Connerly has been at the forefront of efforts to repeal race-based quotas and preference programs in California. On July 20, 1995, following his lead, the Regents of the University of California voted to end the use of racial preferences for admissions to the University of California system, and on November 5, 1996, Californians voted to approve Proposition 209, eliminating preference programs for government agencies and contracts.
Having been called everything from Uncle Tom to an American hero in the past year, Ward Connerly is certainly no stranger to controversy. Yet all the commotion has been worthwhile, according to Connerly, because his campaign against racial and gender preferences is based upon an appreciation of the founding principles of America. Connerly believes that efforts to mandate diversity or multiculturalism, particularly in government programs, is contradictory to the principle enunciated in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. He feels that his commitment to the American ideal has necessitated his leadership on the California Civil Rights Initiative, and has led to his formation of the American Civil Rights Institute to push for versions of the CCRI on both the federal and state level.
As president and chief executive officer of Connerly and Associates, Inc., Connerly oversees a Sacramento-based land-use planning and association-management consulting firm. Prior to establishing his firm, he worked for the state of California at the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Assembly Housing Committee.
Connerly is a lifetime member of the California Building Industry Hall of Fame, and he was the honorary chairman of the American Lung Association in 1993. He serves on the board of the California Chamber of Commerce and is the chairman of the California Governors Foundation. He is also the recipient of the distinguished service award from his alma mater, California State University, Sacramento.
The Henry Salvatori Center and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to welcome Ward Connerly to Claremont McKenna College. Connerly will be discussing the principles underlying his sponsorship of the California Civil Rights Initiative, and his current efforts to duplicate his success across the nation. In the spirit of the Salvatori Center, his talk promises to be a blend of theory and practice, focused upon a central issue of our day.
Reservations are required for both the dinner and the talk by Ward Connerly. This event is open to members of the CMC community only.

Phoenix Coyotes (35-26-12) at New Jersey Devils (31-28-13), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Coyotes will try to win a second straight game without their No. 1 goaltender when they visit the New Jersey Devils for Thursday's inter-conference battle at Prudential Center.
The Coyotes lost workhorse Mike Smith to a lower-body injury in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss against the New York Rangers, but backup Thomas Greiss was able to anchor the team's 3-2 win in Pittsburgh the following night.
Although the severity of Smith's injury is still unknown, the club is describing his status as day-to-day. An update is expected after the Coyotes get back to Phoenix on Friday and Smith is checked by team doctors.
The injury to the starting goaltender comes at a bad time for Phoenix, which is holding onto the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. With 82 points, the Coyotes are three ahead of Dallas for the second of the West's two wild card spots. The Stars, who hold a game in hand over Phoenix, are idle on Thursday.
Smith left Monday's road tilt late in the third period with his club holding a 3-2 lead before New York scored twice on nine shots against Greiss.
However, Greiss came back a day later to record a 23-save victory against the Penguins. After yielding goals to Jussi Jokinen and Taylor Pyatt on 10 shots in the first period, the 28-year-old netminder stopped all 15 shots he faced the rest of the way.
"(Greiss) was phenomenal," Coyotes captain Shane Doan said of his netminder. "He kept the game calm. We're fortunate to have him coming in to back up another really good goalie."
Mikkel Boedker netted the deciding score late in the second period for Phoenix. David Moss and Antoine Vermette tallied in the first period and Doan added two assists for the Coyotes, who halted a two-game skid and won for the sixth time in their last nine outings.
Mark Visentin was recalled from the Portland Pirates of the AHL to serve as Greiss' backup in Smith's absence.
Phoenix is capping a three-game road trip tonight and is 14-14-9 as the visiting club this season.
The Devils enter Thursday having won two of their last three games, but Peter DeBoer's team faces an uphill battle to make the playoffs.
The East currently has four teams with 80 points -- Columbus, Detroit, Toronto and Washington -- fighting over two wild card spots. New Jersey is five points behind that group with 10 games remaining on its regular-season schedule.
New Jersey was able to beat one of the teams above it in the playoff scramble, posting a 3-2 regulation win over the visiting Maple Leafs on Sunday. The Devils jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the early stages of the second period before holding on for the important victory.
Patrik Elias, Jon Merrill and Damien Brunner each scored for the Devils, while Cory Schneider earned the win with 21 saves.
"You knew they'd get a push back and get their chances, but we hung on there," Schneider said.
New Jersey halted a six-game slide in the series with Toronto, beating the Maple Leafs for the first time since Feb. 21, 2012.
The Devils, who are 18-10-7 as the host this season, have won two straight and seven of their last nine home games against Phoenix, but the Coyotes have held the upper hand in the overall series. New Jersey dropped a 3-2 regulation decision in the desert on Jan. 18, giving the Coyotes wins in two straight, three of four and six of the last eight meetings.

Comments about Potato Express - As Seen on TV:
The direction tell you to wet the potatoes and NOT to poke hole in them. Since they were small, I put in the bag about 5-6 potatoes. The bag says NOT to cook on high. Well, they don't tell you what power to cook them on, so you must use your judgement. I have a 1250 high wattage microwave with a turntable, so I put it on 80% power. If you have a microwave between 600 - 1000 wattage, you will have to use maybe 90% power. If you don't have a turntable, you will have to stop it half way, turn the bag and then finish cooking. You should know how fast your microwaves normally cooks. Well, since the potatoes were small and my microwave is high powered, I only cooked them for 3 minutes. I put them in the bag, put flap side down as directed. After 3 minutes, I checked if they were done.So for all who have problems with it, know the wattage of your microwave, does it have a turntable and of course if you use large potatoes, you may not fit 4 in the bag and it might take a minute or two longer depending on the things I just mentioned. Read the bag at the bottom "Note".All in all Potato Express works GREAT! I definitely recommend the Potato Express for anyone who wants to make potatoes quick and easy.I give this product 5 STARS
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Quick and easy
By Mrs cloyd
from Louisiana
I use this a lot, but follow the instructions on the 4 min. Cook time... My microwave has a potato auto key and for 2 potatoes it goes for like 8 min. And it did scorch my bag, but it still works fine

Good Product
By Cat 14
from Newport, KY
I had my doubts if this product would be as easy to use as it looks and if it would cook potatoes in 4 minutes. I was so surprised when I tried the bag and am amazed at how well it works. The potatoes came out fully cooked, fluffy and delicious and it only took the 4 minutes to cook the potatoes as advertised.
Love it!

I purchased this for my mom for Christmas and she totally loves it. I cook potatoes for her all the time.

Doesn't work
from N. Carolina
Tried to cook 2 potatoes for 3, 4 minute increments. Potatoes still not done. It took more time than just wrapping potatoes in a wet paper towel and cooking for 7 minutes. It's definitely a dud.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Morné Steyn is determined to surpass his feats of last year and become the complete flyhalf.
While Steyn had a dream debut Test season – kicking the series-winning penalty against the British & Irish Lions and finishing as the top point-scorer in the Tri-Nations – he's not dwelling on the past.
'I had a wonderful season, I couldn't have asked for more. But am I content? Do I think I'm a world-beater? Not at all,' Steyn says in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week. 'I know people will be watching me more closely in 2010. What I achieved last year is of no relevance. Not being content with what you've achieved is a trait shared by the world's best players, and I want to be considered in that group.'
In the same article, Fourie du Preez explains what makes his halfback partner so effective, while Bulls kicking coach Vlok Cilliers reveals Steyn's training secrets.
Also in the new issue:
– The Springboks have more depth than any other rugby nation, but Peter de Villiers must decide who his first-choice players are
– Under the current laws, South Africa doesn't have a more versatile flanker than Francois Louw
– Rassie Erasmus and Frikkie Erasmus insist that South Africa's players will benefit from a new International Super Rugby tournament and that it's a crucial step forward in the game's evolution
– Sonny Bill Williams rejected a lucrative offer from Toulon to chase his All Blacks dream
– South African-born forward Jarrod Saffy has turned his back on rugby league to play for the Melbourne Rebels
– With Carl Hayman opting to stay in France, Owen Franks is being tipped to wear the All Blacks No 3 jersey at the World Cup
– Sharks coach John Plumtree is having to rebuild his side after losing a dozen players in the past three years
– In Peter Grant's absence, Lionel Cronjé can use the Currie Cup to prove why he's Western Province's best bet at flyhalf
– New Golden Lions coach John Mitchell on turning the team around, fears that he could poach players, and living in Johannesburg
– Marius Joubert on winning the Top 14 with Clermont, missing out on the 2007 World Cup, and his future plans
– Ex-Wales and Lions centre Scott Gibbs wants to settle down in Cape Town
– Why it's time for Craven Week quotas to be scrapped

According to a March 2012 article in Roll Call, Matheson was one of the top ten most vulnerable incumbents.[3]
Matheson serves as one of the Chief Deputy Whips of the Democratic caucus for the 113th Congress.[4]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Matheson is a more moderate left of center Democratic Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Democratic Party line more than his fellow members.
Matheson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He earned his B.A. from Harvard University in 1982 and his M.B.A. from the University of California in 1987.[5]

National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
More than 100 House lawmakers signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to call Congress back into session if he planned to use military force in Syria.[11]
Rep. Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, "engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution."[11][12]
The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, "If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [sic] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute 'hostilities,' what does?"[12]
The letter stated, "If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict."[12]
A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. Matheson was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter.[12]
Matheson voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[13]
DHS Appropriations
Matheson voted in support of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[13]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Matheson voted in opposition of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[13]
Matheson voted in support of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[14] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[13]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Matheson voted against the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[15] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[16]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[17] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[18] Matheson voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[19]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[20] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Matheson voted for HR 2775.[21]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Matheson voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[22] The vote largely followed party lines.[23]
House vote on Obamacare
Matheson was one of two Democrats that voted to defund Obamacare in September 2013. The bill also included funding the government for the rest of 2013. Matheson said, "It is irresponsible to add unrelated provisions to legislation to keep our government running. I have always preferred straightforward legislating that avoids political games. However, I believe we should avoid shutting down the government, and I voted for a continuing resolution to keep the legislative process working toward that end today."[24]
Social issues
House vote on abortion ban
On June 18, 2013, the House voted 228-196 on HR1797, mostly along party lines, to approve a ban on abortions occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy.[25][26][27] A number of members crossed over party lines in their votes. The vote was largely symbolic, as the Senate was not expected to take up the bill, and the White House threatened to veto the legislation.[28] Matheson was one of six Democratic members who voted in favor of the ban.
Speaker of the House vote
In January 2013, Matheson broke with fellow Democratic members to cast his vote for Michigan representative John Dingell (D) for Speaker of the House instead of California's 12th Congressional District representative, Nancy Pelosi (D). The vote was largely symbolic, however, because Ohio's 8th Congressional District representative, John Boehner (R), easily won re-election to the position. [29]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Matheson voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 16 Democrats that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257-167 vote on January 1, 2013.[30]
Campaign themes
According to Matheson's website, his campaign themes included:
- Small Businesses: "...worked to provide tax, lending and investment incentives to small businesses so that they can grow and hire."
- Budget: "...believes it is fiscally reckless and morally wrong to pile debt on future generations...the only way to turn things around is to make serious structural changes to the federal budget process."
- Healthcare: " We pay too much and get too little out of our system and the costs are driving our country deeper into debt."[31]
On December 17, 2013, Matheson announced he will not be seeking re-election in 2014.[2]
According to a Washington Post article in December 2012, Matheson would have been 1 of the 10 most vulnerable incumbents in 2014.[32]
Matheson made Roll Call's "Ten Most Vulnerable" list for the third quarter. Matheson is a Democrat in a right-leaning district. While he had managed to hang on to his seat the last few election cycles, he won the 2012 election by only a slim margin and was expected to face a tough campaign. [33]
The National Republican Congressional Committee listed Matheson's seat as one of seven early targets in the 2014 congressional elections.[34] The seven targets align perfectly with the seven most Republican districts currently held by Democrats, according to FairVote's partisanship index. Matheson's district ranks as the 2nd most Republican (39% D).[35]
Matheson was a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline Program. The program is designed to help protect vulnerable Democratic incumbents heading into the 2014 election.[36]
On May 19, 2013, Republican Mia Love announced she would run against Matheson in a re-match of the 2012 election for Utah's 4th Congressional District seat. However, Matheson later announced he would not seek re-election.[37]
Matheson is rumored to be considering a run for governor or for the U.S. Senate in 2016.[38]
Due to district boundary changes following the 2011 redistricting, Matheson ran for re-election in Utah's 4th Congressional District in 2012. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and defeated Mia Love (R) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[39][40]
According to the website Daily Kos, this race was one of nine top-ballot 2012 races that contained Libertarian candidates who received more total votes than was the difference between the Democratic winner and the GOP runner-up. In this case, Jim Vein took in over 3,000 more votes than the number that separated Matheson and Love.[41]

JON CARDINELLI reports on the Sharks' 13-12 victory against the Bulls at Kings Park on Friday.
The scorecard will confirm that the Bulls were the better side in terms of successful shots on goal, but in the context of a rain-afflicted clash, the Sharks' line-kicking game proved decisive to the outcome.
The Sharks played in the right areas, and it was a superior kicking game that pressured the Bulls into costly errors.
The Bulls took an early lead via a drop goal by Louis Fouche, but it was a garryowen that led to the game's first try for Sharks wing Paul Jordaan.
Fouche would kick two more penalties to steer the Bulls to a 9-5 lead, but it was clear they were struggling to live with the Sharks' kicking game. Coach John Plumtree made a tactical switch before kickoff, moving Riaan Viljoen to flyhalf and Meyer Bosman to centre. It was a savvy move in that Viljoen's strong kicking game was well-suited to conditions.
However, Plumtree would have expected more of Bosman in terms of goal-kicking. The weather couldn't have been worse and it is never easy to kick at Kings Park, but Bosman missed two conversion opportunities in the first half, and a crucial penalty in the second.
The Sharks did score a great try in the second stanza that handed them a 13-9 lead, a sizeable advantage considering the conditions. Cobus Reinach broke from the lineout and found captain Keegan Daniel in support. Daniel fended the cover defence and corkscrewed his way over the tryline.
Unfortunately, the Sharks' effort began to flag in the final half hour. Following Bosman's missed conversion and wayward penalty attempt, the Sharks were pinned in their own half.
The Bulls applied the pressure and looked to have finally crossed the line when referee Mark Lawrence stopped play. A brief consultation with the TMO resulted in Sharks hooker Pieter Dixon being red-carded for kicking an opposition player. It meant the Sharks would play the final 11 minutes with 14 men.
This is where the Sharks showed their mettle. They absorbed the pressure, and eventually won a scrum penalty on their own 22. They cleared to touch and lost the ensuing lineout, but the Bulls failed to punish that mistake. In fact, after a bout of kicking, it was the Bulls who eventually conceded possession and with that a last opportunity to win the game.

Tennessee Walking Horses desperately need your help. These majestic and gentle-natured creatures are a breed of horse famous for their distinctive, smooth, high-stepping walk. Sadly, a cruel and illegal procedure called "soring" is all too frequently used to elicit an exaggerated movement, called the "big lick," in order to win prizes at horse shows.
Soring is the gruesome practice of using chemicals and painful devices to injure a horse's front limbs, making any contact with the ground so painful that the horse quickly jerks up his legs to relieve the pressure. Soring causes such intense pain that its victims often cannot stand for several days afterward.
Although soring was banned nationwide in 1970, inadequate legal penalties and lax enforcement have allowed this cruel practice to continue. A new bill, H.R. 6388, will address these inadequacies by amending the federal Horse Protection Act and improving protections for horses from soring, and we need your help in building support for this critical legislation!
What You Can Do
Please contact your U.S. representative and urge him/her to cosponsor H.R. 6388 and support strong amendments to the Horse Protection Act to better protect horses from soring.
Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center online right now to contact your U.S. representative in Washington, D.C. There are only a few working days left in this Congress, so time is of the essence!
The people that can do this to a such a beautiful animal should
try whatever they plan on doing to themselves first-after all, why should they be eliminated from what the horse would have to go through. Next time I see a horse kick up its front legs that will be the first thing I will accuse them of. I alway thought that was something they were trained to do for show.
Stop the cruel treatment of these gorgeous animals.
Please cosponsor H.R. 6388 and support strong amendments to the Horse Protection Act to better protect horses from soring.
Stop soring!! Stop the abuse!!!
Please, support the amendments to the Horse Protection Act and co sponsor H.R. 6388 to avoid torturing horses. It is very important to do these things to protect horses from soring!!!
Its always surprising to me how so much is overlooked when individuals abuse their pets or other animals. If we allow any type of abuse...straight to jail we go! What are about our animals...why is this horrible act (when caught) overlooked so many times...who makes the rules for them?
Please stop the cruel treatment of these horses
Cruelty follows cruelty...what we do will turn around and come back to us. We must not harm
living beings.

Information For:
Michael Martin Spotlight
Michael Martin ('11)
Graduate Program of Study: Music Education
Degree: PhD
Graduation Date: December 2011
Areas of Research: Teacher Licensure and Music Performance
Hometown: Lewiston, Maine
Current Employment: Director of Chorale Activities and Music Education at Methodist University
Music has always been a fundamental part of Michael Martin's life. In fact, Michael's passion for music inspired him to pursue a life-long career in music education. With several teaching awards and a publication in the Journal of Music Teacher Education (2007) under his belt, Michael decided to continue his educational career to acquire a PhD in Music Education at Kent State University. Michael's decision to attend Kent State was finalized when a graduate assistant opportunity arose.
Publishing in journals and establishing choral programs are two endeavors that Michael plans to accomplish in the future. "Continuing a pursuit of publication, as well as establishing/supporting high quality choral programs," Michael stated as he described his future aspirations. He also plans to continue his work with educating future music teachers.
Michael is confident that Kent State prepared him for the profession as well as for his current position as the Director of Choral Activities and Music Education at Methodist University. "I feel KSU helped to validate much of what I knew before attending and strengthened the areas that really needed it. My involvement with teaching (TA) helped to prepare me for the environment of working with professors at the college level," Michael said. As a doctoral candidate at Kent State, Michael not only had the responsibilities of a student, teaching assistant, and college music program coordinator, but he also was raising a family. In fact, one of the academic accomplishments Michael's is most proud of was completing his degree while maintaining his role within his family.
Savoring the outdoors and playing Wii with his children are two hobbies that Michael enjoys during his free time. Michael wishes to provide the following advice for new Kent State graduate students: "When scheduling your time, always schedule time for lunch and dinner, and time for yourself. During the times when I questioned myself the most, I could look into the eyes of my son and remember why I was doing it in the first place. Having time for yourself keeps your perspective."

Results vs. UNC Pembroke (2009-02-10 15:00:00)
February 10, 2009Pembroke, NC -- Pfeiffer University jumped on top of UNC-Pembroke early with an eight run outburst in the first inning by sending 13 batters to the plate.
Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) led the game off with a blast off Braves' starter Matt Key (Carthage, NC) to put Pfeiffer up 1-0. The Falcons used a hits batman on Zach Pou (Stanley, NC), a single by Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC), a Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC) walk and a two RBI single by Ethan Marsh (Asheboro, NC) to jump up 3-0. Later in the inning after two more HBPs Julian Medina (Glen Cove, NY) hit a grand slam to put the explanation point on the inning.
Pfeiffer added four more runs in the top of the third to push their lead to 12-0. Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) doubled to lead off the inning. Medina and Strickland followed with singles to load the bases. Pou coaxed a run scoring walk, Shoemaker followed with a Sac Fly that was followed by RBIs singles by Dunn and Marsh.
UNCP finally got to Falcon starter Chris Miller (Atlantic Beach, FL) (1-1) when they used six hits to score four runs and cut the deficit to 12-4. In the sixth, with runners on first and third Pfeiffer went to the bullpen with Jacob Moore (Rural Hall, NC) and he forced Josh Haley (Fayetteville, NC) to hit into the 4-6-3 double play to end the Braves' rally with just one run scoring.
The Braves continued to try and fight back with a three-run homerun by Seth Kivett (Bear Creek, NC) to cut the score to 12-8. Pfeiffer added one more in the top of the ninth when Dunn led off with a walk and advanced to second on an error by the pitcher on a pick-off attempt. Marsh pushed him to third with a fly ball to right and Dunn scored on a RBI single by Brandon Rouse (Kinston, NC).
UNCP tried to mount a ninth inning rally by loading the bases and they scored a run with a bases loaded walk, but Falcon closer Andy Oliver (Cornelius, NC) shut the door with two straight strikeouts to end the game.
Chris Miller got the win by going five innings surrendering 10 hits and five earned runs. At the plate, Pfeiffer was lead by Strickland (2-5 with a homerun), Medina (2-4 with a homerun and four RBIs), and Marsh added three RBIs of his own.
Key took the lost for Pembroke dropping him to 0-1 on the year. Jordan Pegram (Greensboro, NC) and Kivett led the Braves' bats with each of them racking up three hits and two runs scored.
Pfeiffer returns to action tomorrow at home against Carson-Newman. The first pitch is scheduled for 2:00 PM.

Best Uses
I've always been a weight wienie and the weight of a dropper kept me from buying one for a long time. After another steep rock garden crash on my 71 degree angle XC bike I decided to ignore the extra weight.
I never realized what a difference a dropper can make!
The Reverb is well made, easy to service, and the SRAM network means parts or repairs are close and fast.
My only disappointment was that the hose was stiff and crammed into the box so tight that it had to be warmed with a hot air gun and pulled straight before it could be fitted nicely to the frame.
Unless you have a very large bike you will need to shorten the hose so buy the bleed kit and a bottle of oil at the same time.
This is a great product, well worth the price and the weight penalty.
Best Uses
This is my second Reverb... First post worked great but I got a new bike and needed a different tube size. The OE product is like new.
Best Uses
This came with my Santa Cruz 5010. I weigh 145 pounds and while I ride hard, I am not hard on my equipment. After 6 miles, the post started to sag about 1.5". After the next ride, the handlebar post release failed to go back to the closed position. It became impossible to use as you couldn't make adjustments and it wouldn't return to full "up".
This isn't ready for prime time and Rock Shocks has got to be embarrassed by this.
Took it back to the bike shop and they couldn't fix it either. Sent it back to the factory after 2 days of use. I won't be putting it back on the bike when the factory replacement comes in.
Best Uses
I bought the right hand lever model and mounted it to the left side upside down. I recommend doing it like this if you are going to use the included "discrete" lever as opposed to mounting it to your SRAM shift lever as it tucks it under the bar and gives it what I think is a better look and more natural angle.
The instruction manual was a joke. Possibly the worst I've encountered considering the technical and mechanical nature of this product.
After mounting the seatpost and the lever... The Seatpost wouldn't work. It just flat out wouldn't move at all when pressing the lever. I bled and rebled the system, I think 4 times in the end before I got it working. I suspect it could be because the seatpost sat in a box for a long time before it got to me, but still, it was pretty upsetting. I also bled the air and repumped it while trying to get it working, but in the end I think it was just the remote lever fluid that was to blame.
I can't say anything for durability or long-time ownership yet. I tried it in front of my house and it seems to work well now.
The travel is perfect. Not too much side to side play compare to other adjustable seat post that I tried.

Maple Leafs Tickets
Are the Toronto Maple Leafs destined to return to the NHL playoffs this season? You can find out with Maple Leafs tickets for all the games at the Air Canada Centre. Get your Toronto Maple Leafs tickets today!
Toronto Maple Leafs Schedule
Friday, 7:30 PM
Leafs Ticket Info
One of the most storied and winningest teams in NHL history with 13 Stanley Cups to their name, the Toronto Maple Leafs are also one of the oldest teams in the league. As one of the "Original Six," the Maple Leafs have seen just about everything the sport has to offer, and last season saw the Toronto Maple Leafs reach the playoffs as they finished 3rd in the Northeast Division and 5th in the Eastern Conference.
Under the direction of head coach Randy Carlyle the Leafs finished 26-17-5 in the lockout shortened '13 season. The Leafs offense was propelled by Phil Kessel who led the team in goals, assists, and points last season. The Maple Leafs lost a heartbreaking series in the '13 NHL Playoffs as they were unable to finish off the Boston Bruins and allowed them to comeback and win in 7 games in the first round. The Leafs will certainly be out for revenge next season as they look to bounce back from such a difficult series loss. Fans in Toronto expect great things from one of the most successful franchises in sports history and will be unsatisfied with anything less than a Stanley Cup next season.
If you've never experienced the excitement of a game in Toronto, well then you really are missing out. The Air Canada Centre, which is also home to the Toronto Raptors is one of the most electrifying atmospheres in the National Hockey League. And although Toronto Maple Leaf tickets can often be hard to acquire, with GoTickets you don't have to worry. We always have a great selection of Leafs tickets even if they reach the postseason we will have Maple Leafs playoff tickets. So check out the Toronto Maple Leafs schedule and order your tickets to all of their games at the Air Canada Centre.

It's no wonder chrysanthemums are simply called mums. Plant names can be tough.
How about Stromanthe sanguinea Tricolor, Aucuba japonica, Osmanthus or perhaps Pentapetes phoenicea?
These are some of the plants available Friday morning at the annual fall Tryon Palace Heritage Plant sale.
The five-gardener staff at the Palace not only prepares its own luscious gardens from less than an acre of planting area, but they grow special plants for the sale, which helps fund the department's efforts.
The sale, which comes traditionally at Mumfest time, draws plant lovers from near and far. And, most of them know the names of the plants.
Lyn Cochrane comes regularly from Raleigh each year. She did miss last year's event, but she had a doctor's excuse. She was having knee replacement
"This has been on my calendar for months," she said, loading up a cart for her husband Dan to pull out to their car. "I even took off from work today."
During her walk around the exhibit sales lot, she found a dozen plants, including Monotropa uniflora, Heuchera sanguine and Leucanthemum x superbum. Fortunately, those have some more common names such as the Ghost Plant, Coralbell and Shasta daisy.
"I got all of those for $54. This is a very good and very reasonable sale," she said. But, she had her eye on one plant when she first penned the sale on her events calendar — a Hymenocallis caribaea.
Locally, it is known as the Spider lilly. The city event has a large sculpture of one at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center.
Cochrane calls it "the New Bern lilly."
"I bought one two years ago and I thought it was dead as a doornail, but this summer it came out," she said, adding she just had to have another one.
Sue Peterson came from the Dawson Creek area of Pamlico County, where she has several acres.
"I can do what I want," she said. "I have multiple gardens — vegetable, herb, organic and a memorial garden for people who have passed on. I've just got a greenhouse and I'm going to have fun."
She had her eye on the Toad lilly — from the genus Tricyrtis.
"This one is a gift for an anniversary," she said of her friends Al and Judy Privette.
A half-dozen women roamed the perimeter of the sale, pointing to and closely inspecting each plant.
They were Onslow County Master Gardener volunteers, led by the county's horticultural agent Lisa Rayburn.
"We do educational field trips and this was also an opportunity to see the (Palace) ground," Rayburn said. "Plus, we can't resist a good plant sale."
Jim Dugan accompanied Angelita and Tere Otero, who were quickly filling a cart.
"This sale is different," said Tere Otero. "We know it grows here and this helps the Palace."
Their selections included the likes of the Swamp Hibiscus, whose label read Scarlet Mallow. Some folks just call it their Pentapetes phoenicea.
Dugan, a member of the Coastal Photo Club, said the plant produces large red tubular flowers and attracts humming birds.
By any name, the plants are pleasing to the eye and they remain on sale Saturday morning.
Charlie Hall can be reached at 252-635-5667 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Enroll Now!
I had a wonderful time taking this course. I learned a lot about how children become fluent readers and writers. I have started to put my new knowledge to practice with my six year old. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
I have an almost 3 yr. old and almost 1 yr. old. We are planning to home school so I wanted to take a course to help me identify the steps of literacy development. What a great course. I LOVED KT and plan to take more of the courses that she offers. Thanks for this. My children will definitely benefit from it and the best part is I didn't have to leave home!!
I have to say that I was nervous about taking an online course, but this course was user-friendly, informative, and very enjoyable. The lessons were just the right length and presented in a way that really mimicked a classroom atmosphere...I was really impressed by the practical activities suggested and the useful supplementary materials. I have a wealth of new knowledge to help me with my future teaching and parenting.
KT prepared an excellent course that integrated current research with standard techniques. I have been thrilled with the information in the lessons. Although I have taught students for more than 27 years, I gained new ways for teaching to help my students. Her easy manner of communicating and humor made each lesson a joy. Thanks so much, KT!
This course was invaluable to me, as I am re-entering the teaching force again after 9 years of being a stay-at-home mom. I feel like I am back in the loop, and current with reading/writing research, vocabulary and practices. I will recommend this course to anyone who is interested in working with young readers and writers!
I want to thank you for a fascinating course. Initially, I took the class for reading credit, which was part of the requirements to renew my teaching certification…I wanted to take a course that would be useful to me, a benefit in some way to my art classes. I needed something that I could fit easily into my schedule too. This class was perfect...what I discovered through these lessons made lots of sense and opened my eyes. I am so glad that I experienced all of the course. I do truly feel that I have information now that will indeed enhance my art lessons in a very positive way. I will be better able to design meaningful experiences for my students, ones that will hopefully inspire and motivate them even more.
Kt Paxton was a wonderful teacher! She always had a reply to my discussion board post by the next day, which was impressive. She also was very quick to answer any question I had about the course or if I was unclear on an assignment. I would like to take another class that she teaches.
Wonderful course. I am already a teacher, so this course validated some of the things I already knew and updated me on some new information. I felt the lessons proved to be interesting and I liked how the instructor used frequent examples and stories, instead of just feeding us straight information
This was another fantastic course from Ms. Paxton. Thank you so much for helping me out in my career and with my family!
This course was thorough and up-to-date and addressed many of the issues I, as an English teacher, face with my middle and high school grades' struggling students. Since I began taking the course, I have been noticing some of the struggles that my readers face and I feel that I am better able to boost them over the hurdle they encounter. I have recommended this course to others.
This was my first online course and I really enjoyed it. The instructor was very prompt and helpful in discussions, which helped make a personal connection. The content was very relevant to me personally and I would definitely take an online course again.
