Please measure the circumference of your hand starting at the top side of the base of your thumb (see image chart) using a cloth tape measure and choose your size from the chart below. Please note all measurements are in inches.
Comment: Warm and cozy
Rob Bruno
Comment: I measured my hand as per the instructions, 9.0 inches, so I should wear a med size glove. These gloves are VERY tight. At first it was okay. Although it felt very tight, I could form my hands around my grips without any problem and they felt nice and warm on my 40 degree early morning ride. My recomendation is you should go one size up from what the measuring tells you for these gloves.

Comment: Shipping was fast, and my husband was really excited about how well they fit because of the adjustable straps.
Karen Elliott
Comment: These gloves work great in 55 degree weather. Didn't even notice the cold. It was nice.
Comment: I got these for my brother's birthday a couple weeks ago. They run smaller than I expected, so we had to return them and get a bigger size. No worries, tho- it was easy to do! The gloves are of good quality and I expect them to last a long time. Thanks!

Comment: I bought these gloves because the "Cold Weather" gloves that I got at my local motorcycle dealer for $50 ended up only being good in weather down to 50 degrees. I don't know about you but I don't really consider that as Cold Weather. I have been using these and they work great down to about 35 degrees, and I don't really wanna riding in much colder weather than that anyway.
St. George, UT
Comment: The gloves keep my hands warm and dry.
A great buy with value. You can't go wrong.
Peter Frost
Comment: Great bike gloves for riding in lower temps. I wear them during the late fall and thru the winter season.
Whidbey Island, WA
Comment: I don't know if I just have cold hands or what. But anyway if the temp is below 50, my hands get cold and i can't seem to keep them warm when I ride. I've really only wore these once below 50 so far. They did really well, I had one finger start to get cold. I have a 25 mile trip at 60 mph. so yes i'm happy with them.
Comment: I have a problem getting cold rather easily, and finding the right gloves was very important to me.
I have a one hour ride into work every morning. (two hours of riding a day, nice..mostly...)Now the roads I travel I go about 45 and 50. So the wind is not as bad as on the highway. In that context, so far the coldest it has been was 36. My hands stayed warm. I would recommend these gloves. One thing I don't think the add points out, both index fingers have a special padding on them for wiping off your sunglasses, works great when there is a mist.
David in NC
North Carolina
Comment: PROS
-The gloves are indeed waterproof and windproof.
-Keeps your hands warm in 45 degree Fahrenheit weather at trips over 20 minutes at speeds higher than 65 mph.
-The gloves being long protect very well from any wind when secured properly.
-Got a size bigger because it was recommended, but they are well, too big, and still tight!
-In temperatures in the 30s and lower left my fingertips cold when I was done riding for about 25 minutes.
- The fingertips are a little too big, but may be do to size.
I will be returning these for a size smaller and may get glove liners, but other than the cons these gloves are great.
Comment: I got these for my husband for Christmas. His hands are always cold, and so he can't ride if it gets below 50. Well, we didn't ride motorcycles, but we did ride snowmobiles. It was 48 when we stared, 8 when we finished. His hands were WARM the whole time. In fact, for a while, he had to switch to lighter gloves because his hands were sweating too much!
I highly recommend these!
Comment: Got these the day before a cold Sat. ride that started in the upper 20's. I rode about 12 miles, staged & then rode another 20 miles or so. By the time I went home it was in the upper 30's and they performed well @ 70+ Looking forward to this New Year's Day to try them out for an extended ride, which is projected to again start in the upper 20's but warm to the low 40's. Good value to performance for my needs.

LINCOLN, Neb. (September 3, 2013) – Sunny skies and a cool breeze greeted the first wave of competitors to the 41st Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships on Tuesday, where 36 classes of competitors battled in the world's largest motorsports event.
Two distinct courses dotted the Lincoln (Neb.) Airpark tarmac. At the Solo National Championships, competitors are afforded three runs on both the East and West course, with each driver's single best time on each course added together to determine the Champion.
The Sam Strano-designed East Course ran with longer times than many expected, which may go a long way in deciding the National Champions during the second day of runs.
In this morning's first heat on the course, Chris Haydu, of Dallas, Pa., took the Street Modified FWD lead by just 0.209-second over four-time National Champion Andy Hollis. Haydu's best time in the PenTeleData Internet Services Honda Civic will allow him to sleep on the overnight lead. Haydu is looking for his first Solo Nationals trophy knowing that Hollis' GRM/AST/Hoosier Honda Civic is lurking.
Less than a tenth of a second separate the top two Corvettes in the Super Stock Ladies class. Shelley Monfort has won four SSL titles in-a-row, with six National Championships overall to her credit, behind the wheel of the StranoParts.com/Shameless Tea Chevrolet Corvette. Stephanie Reeve, however, sits just 0.065-second behind in her G-Fab Racing Chevrolet Corvette as the class prepares to move to the West course on Wednesday.
Heat Two belonged to the co-driving brother tandem of Bartek and Hubert Borowski. Bartek, a 32-year-old driver from Elmwood Park, Ill., topped his brother and the E Stock class by 1.212-second in their Mazda Miata, while Hubert has an additional 0.911-second cushion over third place. Bartek is looking for his fourth-consecutive E Stock National Championship, and the sixth of his career.
A Stock left the long course with just 0.178-second separating first from fourth in heat three. Co-drivers Josh Puu and Lane Borg, both of San Angelo, Texas, led the way respectively in their shared Goodyear Eagle RS Chevrolet Corvette. Borg, the defending National Champion in the class, is in his second position by just 0.017 over 2012 runner-up Tony Savini and the Stranoparts.com/Evo School Chevrolet Corvette. Brian Coulson's Hoosier/StranoParts.com/Thanks Newman Corvette is just an additional 0.058-second behind Savini, setting up the Wednesday showdown on the West course.
Two-time defending D Prepared champion Drew VanderPloeg, of Pflugerville, Texas, and Ron Bauer, of Issaquah, Wash., battled down to the wire last year. The pair picked up on Tuesday afternoon where 2012 left off, with Bauer's Bauerspeed Racing/Tight n Tidy Racing Mazda MX-5 picking up an opening day advantage of 0.194-second over VanderPloeg's JC Automotive Specialist/FTW Racing! Mazda Miata. Those two are more than a second clear of the rest of the field, and appear set to decide the Championship.
Heat Four could only watch as Darren Seltzer, of Orlando, Fla., took control of the F Modified class. Seltzer had put a second gap on the rest of the field, then went for broke on his third and final run on the East Course. It paid off, as he lowered his fast time by more than an additional half-second to exit day one with a 1.637-second lead in his Raptor F500.
Jodi Fordahl, of Bremerton, Wash., is attempting to win her second C Street Prepared Ladies title in-a-row, her fourth National Championship in four years, and her lucky 13th career title in her Mazda Miata – but fellow competitor Sue Eckles, of Malcolm, Neb., isn't just conceding victory. Eckles, a three-time champion in her own right, got a mechanical rerun in the AIM Tuning/Thanks Boreens! Mazda Miata, but coned away a chance to lower her time. Even so, she ended the first day just 0.212-second behind Fordahl in the race for the class crown.
The final heat suggested a Super Stock battle that was a can't-miss for those spectating. Of the 37 cars in the field, participating driver represented a total of 43 National Championships (led by Mark Daddio's 10), three former Drivers of Eminence as that year's top Solo performer (Daddio, Sam Strano, and Gary Thomason), and Chevrolet Corvettes as the majority of the field.
No one told Thomason, of Oceanside, Calif., that the Corvettes were the cars to beat. Thomason, a nine-time National Champion, laid down his best time on the second of three runs in his ProParts USA Dodge Viper, vaulting to the lead.
Just after Thomason's run, with both Daddio's Chevrolet Corvette and Strano's StranoParts.com Chevrolet Corvette on the course, the timing system temporarily failed and forced both cars to a rerun. Daddio improved, but Strano came across a felled cone and was sent to his third attempt at the second lap.
While Strano waited the allotted time for his run, defending champion G.J. Dixon jumped his Monticello Motor Club/Grand Prix New York Porsche GT3 to just 0.081-second behind Thomason. Strano, finally with a completed second pass, hit a cone and failed to improve his time.
With tension building, Thomason failed to improve on his third run. Daddio's third run left him 0.212-second behind the lead, and Strano also improved on his final run to fourth, sitting just 0.087-second behind Daddio.
By contrast, the Elliott Speidell-designed West Course was shorter and tighter.
Among the first cars to hit the course during Heat One was the G Stock class, which was topped by co-drivers. Andy Thomas, of Adamstown, Md., and Michael Moran vaulted to the top of the class, with Thomas leading Moran by 0.203-second in their shared TeamZipTied/Andytooned Toyota Celica. Pre-event favorite Jonathan Rogers (Hoosier Tire/Redline Electronics Dodge SRT-4) sits in third, well within striking distance of the front runners.
Brian Burdette, of San Antonio, Texas, sits atop F Stock following the opening day, where a fierce battle for the National Championship could ensue Wednesday on the East Course. His StranoParts.com Ford Mustang GT tops a leaderboard where places one through six are covered by less than one second. Kevin Youngers is currently second in his Youngers Insights Ford Mustang GT, well within striking distance of Burdette on the time sheets. However, one slip from the favorites could open the door wide open for an unexpected winner.
Last year's Super Street Modified National Champion, Carter Thompson, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., finds himself at the top of his class. He leads a SSM group in which the top-eight drivers are separated by less than 0.9-second. Heavy-hitters Brian Johns and Erik Strelnieks are among those lurking in the aforementioned top eight. For Thompson, that means he will need a top-notch performance Wednesday in his KAAZ USA/LMS-EFI.COM/HPP Mazda RX7 if he hopes to have a repeat of 2012.
Aaron Miller, of Auburn Hills, Mich., is in prime position to repeat as National Champion following day one of competition. He guided his Mitsubishi Evo 8 RS to a 0.169-second lead over Tom Berry's Berg Family Racing/BFGoodrich Mitsubishi Evo 9 RS. Three other drivers, including Marshall Grice (ChaseCam/Berry Family Racing Mitsubishi Evo 9 RS), are within a second of Miller's time.
Solo standout Bryan Heitkotter, of Fresno, Calif., finished day one of competition atop the D Street Prepared standings. Driving a BMW 325S that Heitkotter laid eyes on for the first time at the event, the four-time National Champion goes into tomorrow's final runs with a 0.407-second lead.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - The 4th-ranked Miami University hockey team earned a hard-fought 4-2 victory over No. 19 Ferris State University Saturday night in Big Rapids, Mich. at Ewigleben Ice Arena.
Sophomore Austin Czarnik led the RedHawks with two goals, including an empty-netter in the final minute. Freshmen Kevin Morris and Sean Kuraly also scored for the visitors.
The win gave Miami (5-2-1, 2-2-0-0 CCHA) a weekend split against Ferris State (3-3-2, 2-2-0-0 CCHA), which was outshot 40-26 in the series finale.
The RedHawks opened the first period putting the pressure on the Bulldogs.
Senior right wing Curtis McKenzie, who was interfered with on a breakaway chance, was awarded a penalty shot two minutes into the opening period. McKenzie, however, couldn't convert, as his quick wrister went wide left.
Miami kept at it, though, and opened the scoring midway through the period. Morris corralled the puck in front of the net and after three straight hacks he finally banged it home at the 9:40 mark. Garrett Kennedy's shot from the blue line and Max Cook's feed inside set up the score. It was Morris' second goal of the season.
Ferris State tied the game at 1-1 late in the frame. Jason Binkley sailed the puck to a streaking Justin Buzzeo, who redirected the pass past Miami freshman goaltender Jay Williams with 1:28 left in the first.
On the power play in the second period, Kuraly put the RedHawks up 2-1, finding the back of the net on a hard wrist shot glove-side from the slot. Classmate Matthew Caito's pass through the middle helped the forward score his first collegiate goal, which came at the 16:41 mark. It was the only score of the period. Kuraly's father, Rick, is Miami's all-time leading goal scorer with 101 goals from 1979-83.
Miami extended its lead to two goals 4:20 into the final period, as freshman Riley Barber's pass through the middle found Czarnik near the far post. The RedHawks didn't allow a Ferris State shot in the third period until the 13-minute mark, but the hosts came on strong late.
Travis Ouellette made it 3-2 on the power play, cutting FSU's deficit in half with 5:53 to go. Caito was then whistled for a penalty with 2:25 remaining, giving the Bulldogs another man advantage. Ferris State pulled its goaltender for a 6-on-4 advantage but Czarnik struck again in the final minute with an empty-net, short-handed tally, sealing the 4-2 victory.
Miami was 1-for-5 with the man advantage, while FSU finished 1-for-7 on the power play. In total, the RedHawks were whistled for seven penalties for 14 minutes. The Bulldogs had six penalties for 12 minutes.
Williams finished with 24 saves in net, while the Bulldogs' CJ Motte totaled 36.
Miami returns home to play a pair of games against Northern Michigan Friday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Nov. 10 at Steve Cady Arena at the Goggin Ice Center. Friday's game is scheduled to start at 7:35 p.m., while Saturday's will begin at 7:05 p.m.

Knowing how it all comes together,
"When we're operating on all cylinders, we can play with anybody in the country," coach Jeff Bzdelik said. "We've had our moments."
Those moments have gone both ways in another uneven season for the Demon Deacons, who have no one on the roster who has won a game in the ACC Tournament.
But a thorough 90-79 drubbing of last-place Virginia Tech last weekend has given
"We wanted to go out with a bang," senior guard C.J. Harris said. "We came out and played like that. That was great for everyone to play collectively well."
"Moving the ball," junior forward Travis McKie said. "The ball never stuck (in someone's hands)."
While there have been defensive shortcomings along the way, at least the Demon Deacons experienced one of those games when little went wrong offensively. Bzdelik said the most-recent game was the team's cleanest performance at one end of the court.
"From start to finish, our best game offensively," he said. "Everybody passed the ball well. We really did a great job offensively."
The 90 points mark a season-high output for
"Hopefully, we keep it going. We just want to build off this," Harris said. "We have nothing to lose, everything to gain."
Not all games that have had expanded positive stretches have ended so well for
"We've learned through a tough experience," Bzdelik said, mentioning a December loss to Seton Hall in particular but summing up other segments of the season as well.
A spring-break turnout announced at more than 10,000 fans for the last game of the regular season registered as inspirational to the players and coaching staff, Bzdelik said.
Harris said he senses excitement regarding the ACC Tournament from teammates on the freshman-heavy roster.
The Demon Deacons were 11-5 at home this season. Whether any of that rubs off in
The Greensboro Coliseum is the site of the team's only road victory of the season when the Demon Deacons topped UNC Greensboro in December.
Who: No. 10 seed Wake Forest (13-17) vs. No. 7 seed Maryland (20-11)
When: 7 tonight (ACC Network, ESPNU)
Series: Maryland leads 68-56 (including a 6-3 edge in ACC Tournament meetings)
Earlier this season: Maryland won 86-60 on Feb. 2 at College Park, Md., and 67-57 on March 2 at Winston-Salem
Note: Wake Forest failed to reach the 60-point mark four times in ACC play, including three times at home.

Some claim the state is only using the religion card as an excuse while the real motive is to curb freedom of speech and block tools like YouTube which provide an opportunity to disseminate alternative opinion. Whatever the case be, neither should the state curb freedom of speech which is a fundamental human right, nor should it give in to demands of radical Islamists.
Why should the guarantee to life of the Shia, a fundamental human right, be tied to respecting the Sahaba, offering taraweeh or participating in Youm-e-Farooq? Why not accept that someone honourable to us is not so worthy of respect to someone else. The whole idea of Shaan-e-Sahaba, blashpemy laws and mutual agreement on Islam is meant to cover up the bloody history of Islam and the great divide in the Muslims following the death of Prophet
The support of UK and other countries in the West/EU for the Saudi Arabia is tragic and destructing for world peace. The nerve centre of Islamist terrorism is not Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya – it is Saudi Arabia. The root of all Islamist terrorism lie in Salafi Wahabi ideology, as clear from data and evidence we have shown above. The Wiki leaks also made it clear how Saudi Arabia has been found funding radical terrorist producing factories in South Punjab in Pakistan involved in killing minorities.
Despite the performance of the last coalition government, each and every Pakistan need to appreciate and acknowledge the courage, steadfastness and bravery of ANP, MQM, PPP, Shia and women candidates who have refused to bow down to Taliban. They are standing for democracy. The are risking it for us, for Pakistan. So, keep calm and vote anti Taliban!
On the other hand, I hope PTI realises the political mistake they are making. Jamaat-e-Islami needs no introduction but as a reminder to the readers: AlQaeda No. 2 Khalid Sheikh Muhammad was captured from Naazim of JI's house in Rawalpindi. 2 more listed AlQaeda terrorist were also found from JI residences in Pakistan. JI held funeral prayers of Osama Bin Laden all across Pakistan. Nazim JI Mirpur was killed in a drone attack in NW with other terrorists and Qazi led his funeral prayer in Mirpur. Samia Qazi calls Taliban killers her brothers. When Govt asked religious leaders and parties to issue statements condemning suicide blasts, JI refused to do so. Munawar Hasan in his famous interview with Shahzeb Khanzada from which he ran away mid way, said that TTP is also doing Jihad and its okay to blast away Pak Govt and people if need be. The same Munawar Hassan rejected Women Protection Bill and claims if a raped woman should remain silent and sent to jail if she fails to provide 4 witnesses. PTI can definitely do better without the baggage of fascist Jamaat-e-Islami and I hope good sense will prevail in PTI.
She was threatened several times by land mafias, they even wanted to occupy her office. She continued to bravely work for the poor of the Karachi slums in a chaotic city. She changed the lives of several thousand poor of Orangi by setting up sanitation facility, water connections, severage setup, building or advising on house construction and dealing with issues related to land occupation. Her actual contribution lies in the fact that she educated the local communities to solve their issues for themselves even with little or no intervention of the Government. She as an expert provided technical advice (e.g. what angle of inclination is necessary for a sewerage pipe) and encouraged the locals to build it for themselves. This self sustained, DIY method with locals funding collectively for their projects changed the lives of thousands in a city fighting for resources and land.
With clear evidence of Sipah Sahaba ASWJ militants torching Christian houses and killing them in Gojra massacre of 2009 and Lahore Joseph Colony incident of 2013, why PMLN does not give powers and orders to the Police to take preventive measures? Why PMLN relies on suspending and demoting Police officials when the failure is of administration? The only answer one can think of is PMLN's alliance with Sipah Sahaba ASWJ. A report published in DAWN 2 June 2012 complained that PMLN is reluctant to take action on Sipah Sahaba ASWJ and LeJ militants operating in Punjab despite strong evidence available at hand. The PMLN has sold off minority blood for a few seats, for the votes of ultra-right militants. Unfortunately other parties like PPP and MQM have also been found showing closeness to Sipah Sahaba ASWJ. PPP's Qamar Kaira in one talk show defended talks and getting support from Sipah Sahaba defending them saying "are they not Pakistani?" Well, they may but so are TTP, so were the killers of Benazir Bhutto. Would you want them in the Parliament too? The MQM also visited the Sipah Sahaba's Karachi office. Pakistan's mainstream political parties need to realize that Sipah Sahaba ASWJ is the name of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, TTP and Jaish-e-Muhammad . They are feeding the militants which will eventually come back at them.

For the first topic in this new forum, I propose a dialogue on the usefullness of the religious philosophy without an organized church.
I would say that many Americans call themselves Christian because they have never been exposed to any form or religion that follows their actual personal beliefs more closely. I personally tend to agree with the gnostic version of christianity, except I reserve the possibility that god might not exist at all. It doesn"t make a difference to me, because I use religious principles as my personal philosophy. It does not define me. Organized religion is the devil, not the philosophies.

Final Score: Purdue 54, Eastern Michigan 16
West Lafayette, IN (Sports Network) - Caleb TerBush threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, as the Purdue Boilermakers rolled to a 54-16 win over visiting Eastern Michigan at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Akeem Hunt ran for 106 yards on just four carries. He was also one of six different players to notch a rushing touchdown for the Boilermakers (2-1), who rebounded well from last week's setback to Notre Dame in the final seconds.
Dominique Sherrer paced the Eagles (0-3) offense with 73 rushing yards on 12 carries.
Purdue grabbed a 7-0 lead at the 3:35 mark of the first quarter when Akeem Shavers broke free for a 40-yard touchdown burst.
Later in the opening frame, TerBursh found Antavian Edison for an 18-yard touchdown pass to make it a 13-0 game. Kicker Sam McCartney missed the extra- point attempt.
EMU got on the board with 13:04 remaining in the second quarter thanks to its defense, as sophomore defensive back Pudge Cotton stepped in front of a TerBush pass and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown. Kicker Dylan Mulder missed the extra-point attempt.
On the second play of Purdue's next drive, Cotton recovered a fumble at the Boilermakers' 32-yard line, setting up an eventual 23-yard field goal by Mulder to make it a 13-9 game.
However, Purdue began to seize control from that point. TerBush answered with a 50-yard scoring strike to Hunt on the ensuing drive. Later in the second quarter, Brandon Cottom extended the Boilermakers' lead to 27-9 on an 87-yard touchdown run. TerBush tacked on a two-yard touchdown scamper with nine seconds to play until the half. McCartney, however, missed the extra point for the second time as Purdue took a 33-9 lead into the locker room.
Hunt produced another big play at the 9:44 mark of the third quarter when he scored on a 56-yard run, making it a 40-9 game.
Raheem Mostert pushed Purdue's lead to 47-9 on a 15-yard run early in the fourth quarter. EMU's Tyler Benz scored on a two-yard run midway through the quarter, and Purdue wrapped up the scoring with a 12-play, 74-yard drive, capped by Danny Anthrop's four yard TD run.
The Boilermakers finished with 576 yards of total offense, compared to 313 for EMU. Purdue converted 10-of-15 third downs for the game and came away with touchdowns on all four of its trips to the red zone.

BIOGRAPHYShao Ning Pei received his B.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2009, and his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2011. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. degree.
Optoelectronic Tweezers for Long-Term Single Cell Culture [BPN733]In contrast to bulk analysis, analyzing biological samples on a single-cell level is
a powerful tool in deriving a more complete, quantitative understanding of cellular
behavior. The optoelectronic tweezers (OET) platform utilizes light-generated
dielectrophoretic force to manipulate micro-scale objects reconfigurably on the device
surface. Consequently, OET is able to select for individual cells and manipulate them
into a specific configuration where these cells are cultured and studied for an
extended period of time. Compared to trap-based single-cell techniques, the OET platform
provides advantages such as specific selection of an individual cell and subsequent
culturing over a larger-scale area at a particular address on the surface of the device.
We are looking to apply the OET platform for long- term culture of single cells and gain
useful insights into topics such as rate of proliferation, differentiation, and changes
in morphology and protein expression.

Federal News Radio
You expect the Government Accounting Office to deal with abuse in government, but not often abuse against children.
Yet that is what Gregory Kutz, managing director of the Forensic Audits and Special Investigations at GAO, has had to tackle.
He is a Service to America Medals finalist in the Justice and Law Enforcement category, and part of our Sammies Tracker series.
His work at GAO prompted congressional and federal action to protect vulnerable children from neglect and physical abuse by their teachers and caregivers.
Kutz and his team carried out two separate investigations in 2007 and 2008 into abuse at homes for troubled youths and schools for disabled and autistic children.
"For both of these investigations we found significant torture and abuse," Kutz said. "What I described at the congressional hearings, we had three separate hearings on this, as human rights violations."
His team found children as young as four years old being abused in these treatment facilities.
"It's difficult. I am a father, and a lot of the people on the team have children, and just to speak to the parents, that in some cases sent their children to death at these facilities, these boot camps and wilderness programs, is really a difficult thing," Kutz said. "I can tell you the truth that I shed a few tears many times."
Kutz's team includes investigators, auditors and analysts, who spent years looking into possible abuse, and even undercover testing of deceptive practices that residential programs had where they targeted vulnerable parents.
He said it was an honor for him, the GAO, and his team to be recognized for their efforts.

Men's Volleyball Swept in Home Finale by Lees-McRae; Bobcats Clinch Final Playoff Spot
April 7, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lees-McRae College received a match-high 21 kills from Chad Mercado (Orlando, FL) en route to a 3-0 (30-19, 32-30, 30-26) sweep over Pfeiffer University on Wednesday night in Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action inside the Merner Gym. The win clinches the final playoff spot for the Bobcats moving on to face Mount Olive in the championship match next Saturday. Lees-McRae improves to 7-10 overall, 5-3 in league play while the Falcons fall to 7-14, 1-7.
The first five points on Thursday were traded back and forth on attack errors from both sides. Mercado got going with his first kill of the night at 4-3 before two more halfway through set one put the Bobcats up 17-12. Mercado went back-to-back just four plays later while Pfeiffer got to within five on a kill by Clancy Gay (Cincinnati, OH), but two Juan Ramirez (Miami, FL) kills finished off set one for Lees-McRae.
Set two went back and forth as Michael Dhalle (Phelps, NY) broke a 14-14 tie with one of his kills on the night before Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA) put down a pair of kills forcing a Lees-McRae timeout with a 23-19 Falcon advantage. After an Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) ace put Pfeiffer up five, Raphael Vieira (Porto Alegre, Brazil) started the comeback with back-to-back kills. A kill by Ramirez knotted set two up at 30-30 before a Falcon attack error and rotation violation gave the Bobcats a 2-0 match lead.
Vieira put the Bobcats up quickly in set three with another one of his 13 kills on the night at 9-5 in front of a Mercado ace that sent Lees-McRae up six at 18-12. Pfeiffer crept to within two at 27-25 on a kill by Andrew Whalen (Apopka, FL) but Mercado soon finished off the match with his 21st kill of the night clinching the playoff spot for Lees-McRae.
Pfeiffer and Lees-McRae will wrap up the 2010 season this weekend both taking on Quincy (IL). The Falcons take on Quincy at Limestone on Saturday while Lees-McRae hosts on Sunday.

Richard Dawkins
In conversation with Roy Eisenhardt
Monday, October 30, 2006 8pm
The Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco
Thirty years ago, British scientist Richard Dawkins set out to explain the newest and most thought-provoking theories of evolutionary biology to a wider audience. Written with clear and vivid prose, Dawkin's groundbreaking book The Selfish Gene reignited Darwinian theory and synthesized broad ideas on natural selection, influencing both his peers and the public. Throughout his prestigious writing career in books including Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil's Chaplain, and The Ancestor's Tale, Dawkins has exposed many common misperceptions of evolutionary theory. A rationalist and vocal atheist, Dawkins asserts the irrational belief in God in his most recent book The God Delusion. Dawkins firmly roots The God Delusion in historical arguments for a divine being, from St. Augustine onwards, and negates influential theologians. His impassioned rebuttal compellingly shows how religious fervor fuels wars, compounds bigotry, and perpetuates oppression in human society. One of the most influential scientists of our time, Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
Roy Eisenhardt was President of the Oakland Athletics baseball team from 1981 - 1987. He was the subject of a 1983 Roger Angell Profile in The New Yorker.

Information For:
Degrees & Requirements
How Can Anthropology Help You?The Department of Anthropology at Kent State University offers a variety of undergraduate programs to meet the needs of any student. By offering both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, as well as a minor in Anthropology, we make a degree in Anthropology an easy choice for pre-professional development. We also offer three LER's, three writing intensive courses, and seven courses that meet University Diversity course standards. For advising, contact Dr. Richard Meindl, undergraduate coordinator.
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) is a general and very flexible degree program in which students are required to take 4 specific Anthropology courses and 21 additional elective hours in Anthropology (at least 12 of which are upper division). ( Link to Undergraduate Catalog or Search Course Catalog ). The balance of hours are met with Liberal Education Requirements and College of Arts and Sciences requirements. The B.A. in Anthropology is recommended for any student who seeks to develop a general background in the discipline, which may be a mix of Archaeology, Cultural, and Biological Anthropology. Students are encouraged to take a minor in a related field (e.g. MCLS, History, English, Geography, Art History).
Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.), with concentrations in Archaeology or Biological Anthropology, is recommended for students who wish to acquire in-depth training in one of these concentrations in Anthropology. This program is more structured than the B.A. and all students are required to take certain courses in Mathematics and Chemistry. Students also elect courses in Biology (evolutionary theory, comparative anatomy), Geology (paleontology), or Geography (mapping skills, GPS).
The core of the program is identical for both Biological Anthropology and Archaeology students. This rigorous course of study (72-74 hours in the major) provides students with methods and theory that will prepare them for graduate school and future careers in Archaeology or Biological Anthropology.
Minor in Anthropology
The minor in Anthropology (21 units) is recommended for any student wishing to increase his or her understanding of cultural and biological diversity. Students are required to take three courses in the Anthropology department (ANTH 18210, ANTH 18420, and ANTH 38630) and may choose from a variety of upper division courses as electives (12 units). ( Link to Undergraduate Catalog ).

The Recession of 2008: Myth or Reality
TOM BORCHERDING, moderator
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
On January 12, 2008, the Los Angeles Times reported: "Increasing fears that the nation is headed for a recession – or, indeed, may already be in one – drove the stock market sharply lower Friday, closing out a third straight losing week." Most students at CMC spend their entire college career without experiencing an economy wide recession. While recessions are rare, they do not just strike fear into the hearts of graduating seniors. Apart from those losing their employment and those being unable to find a job, there are other factors often overlooked by the general public which are characteristics of an economic slowdown. This includes an increase in crime rates, rates of mental illness and cases of domestic violence, slower movements up promotion ladders, a lower probability of finding a summer job for teenagers, higher levels of application at graduate schools, etc. There is much talk currently, both amongst academics and in the popular press that the economy already is in recession. Indicators are the recent sharp increase in the U.S. unemployment rate from 4.7% to 5.0% for the most recent month for which observations are available, a significant shortfall in tax receipts, the very low levels of consumer confidence, a sharp decline in housing sales, and so on. There are also some suggestions that this recession will be more severe than the previous downturns of 1990-1991 and 2001. Concern about banking sector strains, which stand at their highest levels since the 1980s, have added extra impetus to Federal Reserve rate cutting. Starting dates for recessions are officially determined by a dating committee of economists at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in Cambridge, MA. However, the NBER typically only agrees on the starting date well after it has occurred. Hence the question lingers whether or not the U.S. Economy is already in a recession, or if it is about to go into a significant slowdown in economic activity. We have gathered a distinguished committee of macroeconomists from CMC and CGU to address both the current economic difficulties and responses by the Federal Reserve and other actors. Professor Tom Borcherding (CGU) will function as moderator, while the panel includes Dean Greg Hess (CMC), Dean Tom Willett (CGU), and CMC professors S. Brock Blomberg and Manfred Keil.
Why the European Union Will Not Become a Superpower
Last year the European Union celebrated fifty years of peace and prosperity. Despite these extraordinary accomplishments, many Europeans feel that integration has somehow failed, that the Union will not be complete until it looks more like a federal state, with a constitution, unified foreign policy, and defense capacity. In his Athenaeum lecture, historian and Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar James Sheehan examines the history of Europe in the twentieth century, and suggests why political integration is unlikely and may be undesirable.
James Sheehan began teaching modern European history at Stanford in 1979 and is now Dickason professor in the humanities, a senior fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and the Paul Davies Family University Fellow in Undergraduate Education. He is the recipient of four teaching awards, a Guggenheim fellowship, a Humboldt Research Prize, and an NEH fellowship. His books include The Eclipse of Violence: The Transformation of Twentieth-Century Europe (forthcoming), Museums in the German Art World: From the End of the Old Regime to the Rise of Modernism (2000), German History, 1770-1866 (1993), and German Liberalism in the Nineteenth Century (1978). President of the American Historical Association in 2005, he is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy in Berlin, a corresponding fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and a member of the American Philosophical Society and the Orden pour le Mérite.
Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation's oldest academic honor society. It has chapters at 276 colleges and universities, and over 600,000 members, including CMC's Tau of California. The Visiting Scholar Program contributes to the intellectual life of member institutions by making available each year distinguished scholars who visit colleges and universities with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa.
Eyewitness to Power: Leadership in America
Commentator, editor, teacher, public servant, best-selling author and adviser to presidents – for 30 years, David Gergen has been an active participant in American national life. He served as director of communications for President Reagan and held positions in the administrations of Presidents Nixon and Ford. In 1993, he put his country before politics when he agreed to first serve as counselor to President Clinton on both foreign policy and domestic affairs, then as special international adviser to the president and to Secretary of State Warren Christopher.
David Gergen is a professor of public service and the director of the Center for Public Leadership at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He is also editor-at-large at U.S. News & World Report and is a Senior Political Analyst for CNN. Mr. Gergen also regularly serves as an analyst on radio shows, and he is a frequent lecturer at venues around the world. In the fall of 2000 he published a best-selling book titled, Eyewitness to Power: The Essence of Leadership, Nixon to Clinton.
In the past, Mr. Gergen has served in the White House as an adviser to four Presidents: Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton. Most recently, he served for 18 months in the Clinton administration, first as Counselor to the President and then as Special Adviser to the President and the Secretary of State. He returned to private life in January 1995.
From 1984 to 1993, Mr. Gergen worked mostly as a journalist. For some two-and-a-half years, he was editor of U.S. News. Working with the owner and editor-in-chief Mortimer Zuckerman and a revived staff, he helped to guide the magazine to record gains in circulation and advertising. During that period, he also teamed up with Mark Shields for political commentary every Friday night for five years on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. The two were a popular political team and won numerous accolades for their political coverage.
A native of Durham, North Carolina, Mr. Gergen is an honors graduate of Yale University (A.B., 1963) and the Harvard Law School (LL.B., 1967). He is a member of the D.C. bar.
David Gergen comes to CMC as the eighth Pacesetters Fellow. The Pacesetters Fellowship Program is the culmination of the hard work and dedication of alumni from the classes of 1948, 1949, and 1950 - the Pacesetters. The program attracts leaders in business, academia, and public affairs to Claremont McKenna College for ono-on-one interactions with students. Mr. Gergen will also address members of the College's Res Publica Society at a luncheon in Newport Beach.
Duology Plus Two
TED DANIEL, trumpet
MICHAEL MARCUS, reeds
DAN LUTZ, bass
LORCA HART, drums
Ted Daniel and Michael Marcus are vibrant, master jazz soloists, seasoned New York musicians, experienced in all genres of the music. Yet, each sought out the other, from among many other available musicians, to form an extraordinary jazz collaboration. Their motivation was to share a kindred spirit of creativity: they aspire to express themselves in unique terms, and as a consequence, to not utilize repetitive, borrowed or routine expressions that may now be familiar to jazz listeners. In the words of Dr. Billy Taylor:
"(Jazz is) not about new is different. Jazz is like a language. You don't speak in the same way that your parents spoke. It's the same language, but you speak it in your way." (from Jazziz)
Their project - an experiment in listening and playing together as a duet - began in 2006. It is called Duology. It poses an exciting musical challenge in which " … you don't have a drum to keep time, nor do you have a bass to play the chords out. … What it does is make one listen to the other person very intently" (Ted Daniel). This should remind us that although Duology's expressions may be novel, the Duology experiment reaches to heart of jazz definition. "Jazz musicians interact and learn from one another as they perform. That's what jazz is. Many times, I've listened to recordings I've made and said, 'Wow, I don't remember doing that! I never practiced that phrase before.' I played it because of what the other musicians were playing at the time." (Rufus Reid, educator, bassist)
For their Athenaeum performance, Marcus and Daniel will be joined by bassist Dan Lutz and drummer Lorca Hart so that Duology can deliver a snapshot of jazz history, reaching from Dixieland to free abstraction!
No one should neglect attending and absorbing this core exposure to pure jazz.
The Aftermath: Living with Memories of the Holocaust
By the time she was 11 years old, Ruth Kluger's life in Vienna had been completely destroyed. As a Jewish girl living in Austria in the 1940s, Kluger and her family were swept up in the ferocious destruction of the Nazi campaign to exterminate the Jews – the Holocaust, or Shoah. Arrested in 1942 and deported to Theresienstadt, a concentration camp in the Czech Republic, along with her mother, Kluger's journey had only just begun. She spent the next three years in the hell of concentration camps, moving first to Auschwitz, the notorious death camp, and then to Christianstadt, a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp. Yet Ruth Kluger — and her mother — survived, despite confronting death on a daily basis. After the liberation of the camps in 1945, Kluger faced the difficult task of rebuilding her shattered life from the ashes and chaos that surrounded her. She chose to emigrate to New York, intent on constructing a viable life for herself, yet was rebuffed by her relatives already in New York. Still, Ruth Kluger survived.
Ruth Kluger's memoir, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered (2001), an expansion of To Continue to Live: A Childhood (1991), recounts her story, building from blunt commentary on her childhood experiences to a philosophical argument for the right to live and the right to self-determination. Her reflections are provocative, ranging from thoughts on the modern memorialization of the Shoah, to angry, cynical commentary, as she proclaims, "Instead of God I believe in ghosts." She traces her childhood completely, from growing up surrounded by uncertainty and Nazi propaganda, to her actual experience in the camps, to her status as a refugee in America.
One thing is certain, though – Ruth Kluger is still alive. Though she is still haunted by her harrowing experiences, she has gone on living, first graduating in 1950 from Hunter College in New York City, and then receiving a Ph.D. from Berkeley, Kluger has built up a reputation as an insightful German literary scholar, with a particular expertise on the writings of Kleist, Lessing, Stifter, and Grillparzer. She was chair of the German department at Princeton in the 1980s, and is now professor emerita of German literature at U.C. Irvine. She has also won numerous prizes for her scholarly work as well as her memoirs, including the Thomas-Mann-Preis and the Prix Memoire de la Shoah.
Ruth Kluger's talk at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.
War, Peace, and George Washington's Presidency
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Presidential power and responsibility are not only interconnected, but highlighted in the President's role as commander-in-chief. Through his conduct of office, George Washington revealed the fundamental nature of executive power and constitutional responsibility, and set key precedents for his successors. He also demonstrated the political virtue of prudence in his conduct of the presidency, and that virtue is the key to understanding and appreciating his contribution to the success of the American Republic.
Ryan J. Barilleaux is professor and chair, Department of Political Science, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. He is the author or editor of seven books on the presidency and American politics, including The President as World Leader (1991), The Post-Modern Presidency: The Office after Ronald Reagan (1988), Presidential Frontiers: Unexplained Issues in White House Politics (1998), and Power and Prudence: The Presidency of George H.W. Bush (2004). In addition, he has published dozens of articles on the American presidency, religion and politics, and other aspects of politics. His work has appeared in such scholarly outlets as Congress and the Presidency, Crisis, Perspectives on Political Science, Revista de Estudios Politicos, and Catholic Social Science Review. Professor Barilleaux received a B.A., summa cum laude, from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (1979), and an M.A. (1980) and Ph.D. (1983) from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to his service at Miami University, he was a member of the faculty of the University of Texas at El Paso and served as a staff aide to Senator J. Bennett Johnston, United States Senate.
Professor Barilleaux's lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Inidividaul Freedom in the Modern World in commemoration of the birthday of President George Washington.
Traveling Cultures of Servitude: Loyalty and Betrayal in New York and Calcutta
Raka Ray is Sarah Kailath Chair of India Studies, associate professor of sociology and South and Southeast Asia Studies, and Chair of the Center for South Asia Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. She grew up in Calcutta, India, but has moved steadily west since then, receiving her A.B. from Bryn Mawr College, and her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She has been at Berkeley since 1993.
Professor Ray's areas of specialization are gender and feminist theory, domination and inequality, cultures of servitude and social movements. Publications on social movements include Fields of Protest: Women's Movements in India (University of Minnesota, 1999; and in India, Kali for Women, 2000), Women's Movements in the Third World: Identity, Mobilization and Autonomy with Anna Korteweg (Annual Review of Sociology, 1999) and Social Movements in India: Poverty, Power, and Politics, co-edited with Mary Katzenstein (Rowman and Littlefeld, 2005).
Together with Seemin Qayum, she has just completed a manuscript titled Cultures of Servitude: Modernity, Domesticity and Class in India. Articles from that project include "Masculinity, Femininity And Servitude: Domestic Workers in Calcutta in the Late Twentieth Century" (Feminist Studies 2000), and (with Seemin Qayum) "Grappling with Modernity: Calcutta's Respectable Classes and the Culture of Domestic Servitude" (Ethnography 2003).
Professor Raka Ray is brought to CMC by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
Asia and America in 2008
The year of 2008 has an unusual significance for both Asia and America. It will be a year of uncertainty, expectation and transition. Political schedules are already full with elections to be held and new governments to be installed. In South Korea, for instance, a new government will soon be inaugurated, on February 25th. Many expect it to be different from ordinary transfer of power: it will usher in a new era of pragmatism in Korea and in the U.S.-Korea relations, too. Also, on Taiwan, a new president will be chosen in late March. If the general election in early January this year is any indication, there too will emerge a new government with a strong pragmatic orientation. Besides South Korea and Taiwan, elections are also planned in China and Russia, among others.
Rounding up this year of election, Americans will choose a new president in November. Although it is too early to predict the outcome of the election, it appears that the new American president, he or she, will confront a different Asia, different from what it has been so far. Beyond the immediate issues of North Korea's nuclear program and the Taiwan Straits, the uninterrupted rise of China after the Beijing Olympics in August this year will present both challenges and opportunities for the new American president. The implications of these to Asia and America will be explored.
Chong Wook Chung is an Asian specialist with an emphasis on China who has taught both in Korea and the United States. He also served in the Korean government as national security adviser to President Kim Young Sam in the early 1990s and later as Korean Ambassador to the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Dr. Chung has an undergraduate degree in international relations from Seoul National University (1965) and a Ph.D. in political science from Yale University (1975). He has taught at Yale University, American University in Washington, D.C. and Seoul National University.
He has written extensively on foreign policy and national security, particularly on matters related to China and the Korean peninsula. His book-length English publications include Maoism and Development (1980), Major Powers and Peace in Korea (1979) (co-editor), and Korea's Option in a Changing International Order (1993) (co-editor). He is currently a visiting professor at the Graduate School of International Studies, Seoul National University.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to host Chong Wook Chung's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor in Asian Affairs.
Israel's Search for Peace and Security in the Middle East
The post-9/11 world has brought new and surprising developments that have profoundly altered the circumstances in which Israel and other countries must try to find security and peace. Terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the resurgence of Islam and its militant off-shoots are three such changes. The debate over what to do about these and other changes has led to radically different policies and enormous controversy; hence debates.
These debates have, if nothing else, highlighted the enormous complexity and tenuous security of the world in which we live. For a nation like Israel, these questions are an integral part of the national consciousness. The debates surrounding these issues are of far-reaching consequence not only for Israel itself, but also for the tense world of Middle Eastern politics and geopolitical relations. In light of the salience and relevance of these difficult questions, the Athenaeum is pleased to welcome Professor Efrain Inbar of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel.
At Bar-Ilan University, Israel's second-largest academic institution, Inbar teaches in the political studies department and also serves as the Director of the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies. A native of Romania, Inbar was educated at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem as an undergraduate and received his M.A. and Ph.D. in political science at the University of Chicago. During his long and accomplished academic career, Professor Inbar has served on the faculties of Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown University, as a visiting scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a Manfred Warner NATO Fellow, an Onassis Fellow, and a visiting fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. Inbar's specialization is in Middle Eastern strategic issues, with a focus on the politics and strategy of Israeli national security, and he has been widely published both as an author of articles and books and as an editor of collections of articles on the topic. His most recent work, entitled Israel's National Security: Issues and Challenges since the Yom Kippur War, is due to be published this year.
Apart from his academic career, Major General Inbar also served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Force (IDF). He was a member of the Political Strategic Committee of the National Planning Council and the Chair of the Committee for the National Security Curriculum at the Ministry of Education, and he currently serves on the Academic Committee of the IDF's History Department. Professor Inbar's credentials as a defense scholar and policymaker are impeccable, and his insights into this timely issue are most welcome. This lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC.
Religion and Public Life
There were truths eternal in the gab and tittle-tattle.
There were real heads broken in the fustian and the rattle.
There were real lines drawn:
Not the silver and the gold,
But Nebraska's cry went eastward against the dour and old,
The mean and cold.
-Vachel Lindsay, "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, Bryan"
Martin Marty is a phenomenon (a word well chosen by his friend Bill Moyers to describe this formidable historian, professor, pastor, editor, and author of more than 50 books)— intellectually, physiologically, and metaphysically. Nearing the completion of his eighth decade, Dr. Marty still rises before dawn each day to read four newspapers and the Moravian Texts, to walk 10,000 steps (he measures), and to repair to his studio to write—all before fortifying himself for the rest of the day's work with a post-lunch seven minute nap. He also finds the time to read the poetry of Czeslaw Milosz, whom Marty calls "a kind of implicit Christian" in that he "agonizes about the resurrection. His work is a positive affirmation in the face of horror."
Born in West Point, Nebraska, where he received his elementary education in a two-room schoolhouse, Marty was ordained into the Lutheran ministry in 1952 and served as a pastor in that faith for more than a decade before beginning a 35-year residency on the faculty of the University of Chicago, where he held the position of Fairfax M. Cone Distinguished Service Professor. Distinguished it was — and continues to be: Marty's contributions to academic and public understanding of religion in American life have been recognized by the bestowal of some 60 honorary degrees, the National Humanities Medal, and the Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In one of his most influential books, Righteous Empire: The Protestant Experience in America (1977), for which he won the National Book Award, Marty divides his history into two distinct periods, beginning with what he calls the Evangelical Empire of 1776-1877, and transitioning into "the Protestant Experience." Through the latter period he traces the nation's theological evolution by examining such factors as how the removal of indigenous peoples, the appropriation of land in westward expansion, the post-Civil War rise of denominationalism, and the influence of the urban-immigrant environment led to the ascendancy of religious pluralism.
One of many endearing aspects of Marty's writing and teaching is his willingness to do it in response to others' request — to be "at the disposal of the need of the moment." Accordingly, it is singularly appropriate — and gratifying to the evening's honoree — that Dr. Marty delivers his talk as this year's Ricardo J. Quinones Distinguished Lecturer. Established in honor of the founding director of the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the Quinones Lectureship brings to the CMC campus some of the world's preeminent intellectuals, writers, and public figures. Tonight Dr. Marty's diponibilité lands him in the distinguished company of previous Quinones Lecturers Shelby Steele, James Q. Wilson, Harvey Klehr, and Paul Barolsky.

Comments about Rolf Prima ?lan Road Wheelset 2013:
Great lightweight wheels, but note they are only 22mm so their strenth will be in the climbs. Climb great and are stiffer than I thought they would be. I ran into a pothole on a group ride and blew out my front tire and it dented both sides of the rim. Kind of a bummer, but it appears to only be cosmetic. Still ride them.
