Study Impact of Pesticides On Children's Mental Development
(Beyond Pesticides, September 2, 2004) University
of North Dakota researchers have launched a study to find out whether
pesticide exposure has an impact on children's cognition and mental
development. The two-year study is funded in part by a $100,000 grant
from the National Institute of Environmental Health Science.
The team, led by principal investigators Dr. Tom Petros and Dr. Patricia
Moulton, both researcher at UND, will examine the impact of chronic
exposure to pesticides in children seven-twelve years of age on their
memory, ability to pay attention, motor skills and performance on school-related
achievement tests. The study will look at children throughout northeastern
North Dakota.
Two groups will be tested: one with people who live on or next to a
farm and one with those who live at least one mile away from any farm.
"We're taking 64 kids that live on a farm or next to a farm or
active field and we're comparing them to 64 kids that live in a city.
We're bringing them into a lab or we can go out to their town,"
Dr. Moulton explained to The
Grand Forks Herald . The results will be published and shared with
farm families throughout the state, Dr. Moulton said.
This grant comes only months after Greenpeace India released a study
that found a strong link between pesticide exposure and cognitive abilities
among farmers' children in India. The study revealed serious mental
development disorders that ranged from severely impaired analytical
abilities, motor skills, concentration and memory among the children
in the chemical-intensive cotton belts of India (See Daily
News). The Greenpeace study echoed the findings of Dr. Elizabeth
Guillette who studied children of the Yaqui Valley. The Yaqui Valley
is one of Mexico's largest agricultural areas and has had high pesticide
use since the 1950s. Dr. Guillette's study
compared these children to those of a town in the foothills, which is
nearly identical except it has no agricultural industry and virtually
no pesticide use. The children exhibited significant and disturbing
neurological differences; the valley children are far behind those of
the foothills in physical coordination, energy and learning capabilities.

As a center of intense intellectual inquiry, the University of Chicago Library shares with the University of Chicago the aspiration to be the most dynamic research and learning environment in the world, supporting the University's commitment to research and teaching in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the College and to using its intellectual resources to help solve the world's problems.
The Library builds and preserves outstanding research collections that support the present and future needs of its faculty, students, and staff. Distinctive collections include:
Forty-five percent of the Library's collections are non-English and published outside the United States, supporting faculty research with a global impact and making the Library a mecca for international scholars.
The Special Collections Research Center is home to the Library's rare books, manuscripts, and the University of Chicago Archives. Highlights include:
The Library is a leading advocate of digitization as a method of preservation and has created 116 digitized collections that are accessible online, with items ranging from medieval manuscripts to early editions of Chopin scores to maps of Chicago before and after the Great Chicago Fire. The Library also works with faculty to preserve electronic research data in partnership with IT Services and the Research Computing Center.
Locating the vast majority of the Library's print collections in open stacks at five of its six campus locations allow users to access holdings rapidly and to make serendipitous discoveries while browsing. Campus libraries with browsable shelving include:
Approximately 20% of the circulating collections (more than a million volumes) have circulated within the last decade.
To maintain this extraordinary accessibility while continuing to build print collections, the new Joe and Rika Mansueto Library was opened at the heart of campus in 2011. Designed by renowned architect Helmut Jahn, the Mansueto Library has been recognized with a Distinguished Building Citation of Merit by the American Institute of Architects' Chicago chapter and a Patron of the Year Award by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. It features a soaring elliptical glass dome capping a 180-seat Grand Reading Room, state-of-the-art conservation and digitization laboratories, and an underground high-density automated storage and retrieval system with the capacity to store 3.5 million volumes. The Mansueto Library speeds scholarly productivity by allowing for the expansion of collections on campus for the next decade and the retrieval of materials within an average time of three minutes through use of robotic cranes.
Library services facilitating access to collections include:
Teaching and learning support includes reference services, course reserves, library instruction and curriculum support, bibliographic management software, and technology-equipped classrooms and technical expertise.

Procedure Framework Process
The Development, Approval and Administration of University Policies, separates the authority for approval of non-academic policy from the authority for approval of related procedures, the former resting with the Board of Regents and the latter with the administration, through the policy sponsor. The senior executive's framework, which governs the approval of University procedures, is:
a. For new policy, related procedures are approved by the Board of Regents as part of the policy package to ensure completeness with respect to implementing the new policy.
b. Once policy and related procedures are approved and established and as well for existing procedures, changes to procedures would occur as follows:
- The initiating unit, which is normally the unit responsible for the procedures, submits the request for change(s), in writing, to the Sponsor of the parent policy.
- To ensure that the principles of consultation are honored in changing procedures, the Sponsor asks the Procedures Advisory Group to vet the proposal and submit recommendations to the Sponsor, in writing. In cases where there are advisory committees or boards affiliated with a particular policy, their feedback is sought rather than that of the Procedures Advisory Group. These are specified in the Terms of Reference for the Procedures Advisory Group.
- The Sponsor makes the final decision on the requested changes, based on the original submission and the feedback received from the Procedures Advisory Group (or applicable consultative group). One exception is the University-Wide Procedures for Sexual Harassment Concerns and Complaints for which the Sexual Harassment Board has the authority to approve changes.
- Any proposed changes that are accepted, are updated in the policy database and are communicated using methods similar to communicating policy approvals.

TS, IiF is right.
He could have sparred with Wim (the brown belt), Mattias (the blue belt) or me, but he never even asked one of us.
It would have been a great experience, since none of us guys are jerks and we keep the rank standard high at our club and the affliated clubs.
Now, to be honest I would have declined his offer, not because I'm a bad grappler but he was spazzing too much. There would have been a good chance that he would have hurt himself trying to 'break' free.
But Wim and Mattias could have performed a lockdown on him that would have unabled him to move one inch. (we had some Carlson BB train at our club and their mantra is "pressure, pressure and pressure").Originally Posted by Jiujitsu77Originally Posted by HumanzeeOriginally Posted by jk55299 on Keysi Fighting Method
Sorry, guys, but what are we arguing here?
You've seen him in real life, you've seen him on video.
Just from those few minutes, one can tell that he is an abyssmal fighter,
and that he maybe is completely unaware of that fact.
I greatly appreciate that you were so patient with him, but people like "that guy" (yes, in reference to the recent thread) need a good spanking to wake them up.
- Like we all got it, just ten years earlier than he will.
Let's be clear, I respect and appreciate that you all were so friendly with him, but if he had even tried to showboat as he did, he would have beaten senseless anywhere else.

Democracies aren't all made equally; the devil lies in the details. Washington's federalist, presidential system has its limitations, some of which were laid bare by the recent shutdown. Duelling centres of power stood in the path of a freely elected executive who had a mandate to govern. A country was held hostage by a dispute over healthcare that had already been settled by lawmakers, federal courts and, judging by the presidential ballot, the electorate. To critics – in both the democratic and authoritarian camps – the brinksmanship showed deep flaws in the U.S. system of divided governance.
In a parliamentary system, such obstruction is rarer. This is its strength. But it runs the risk of making elections the only test for legitimacy, particularly when democratic institutions are weak, as in Thailand, where protesters are back on the streets. The last time that Bangkok was gripped by huge rallies in 2010 the denouement was a bloody military-led crackdown. Two years earlier, Bangkok's international airport was seized by another protest group in a ruinous victory over an elected administration. This time around, the complaint is that the government, which won a huge victory in 2011, is ramming through a self-serving amnesty law that whitewashes its past wrongdoing. Over 10,000 people rallied Monday in Bangkok, turning up the heat on Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and sending Thai stocks down nearly 3%.
The amnesty bill recently passed the lower house, where Yingluck's governing coalition holds sway. The original bill covered rank-and-file protesters accused of crimes, but was later expanded to grant amnesties to politicians and state officials. More controversial is language inserted to undo court judgements against former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, the exiled billionaire brother of Yingluck. Thaksin was convicted in 2008 of abusing his power, a ruling that he contests. Next the amnesty bill must clear the upper house and be signed into law by the crown. Opponents have urged senators to reject the bill. The debate is expected to start next week and take up to 60 days. Speaking Tuesday, Yingluck said her government would accept the upper house's decision and wouldn't interfere with the process.
All of which appears to show checks on an elected government. But the fact that protesters are on the streets, and that Yingluck is besieged by criticism from within her own ranks – including from supporters who lost relatives in the 2010 crackdown – indicates the fragility in Thailand's parliamentary system. The Bangkok Post reported Tuesday that Yingluck's ruling party is preparing for a possible snap election in early 2014, if it feels threatened by the courts. Previous iterations of Thaksin's political party were dissolved by courts so this isn't an idle threat. But it does little to advance democracy building in Thailand.
It's clear that Thaksin and Yingluck can deliver a plurality at the polls. They have done it repeatedly since 2001. Their opponents must accept this fact. But an electoral mandate isn't a right to govern unfettered. Back in 2006, when Thaksin faced mass protests against the sale of his family-owned telecoms company to Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, he pulled the same trick. He won the election, but Thailand faced a deadlock and the military stepped in. This is a poor substitute for legitimate checks on elected officials. Perhaps the only thing worse than too many democratic checks are no checks at all.

I like everybody love the outdoors and fight hard to get the privledge to go out into it. UV clothing, sun screen and shade. But I find something that is very difficult still is being in the car on clear or sunny day. Today I did a bit of driving around and now I just feel like I'm on fire with terrible burning skin and puffy hands and body. Do any of you have a problem being in the car? Have you found any releif? I was wondering about window tinting...I wonder if it would block the UV rays? Thanks, Sandra

On-Campus Housing Fire Safety Equipment
Susquehanna University residences halls have detection and sprinkler systems and are protected by an integrated alarm system that reports to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) office located in the Degenstein Campus Center. The DPS office is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. An officer responds to the building and determines the cause of the alarm and whether the fire department should be notified to respond. All buildings are equipment life with safety systems that will activate in the event of a power failure to operate all life safety equipment including fire safety equipment, sprinkler systems, hallway lighting, emergency exit lights and stairwells.
University Avenue resident housing fire alarm systems are local audible alarms. When the alarms are activated the residents evacuate and notify the DPS, at 570-372-4444, about the alarm and possible cause. An officer responds to the building and determines the cause of the alarm and whether the fire department should be notified to respond. Again, these buildings are equipped with detection and sprinkler systems. The University Avenue housing units' fire alarm panels were upgraded and installed at the main entrances, allowing for more efficient alarm identification and response.
The Theta Chi fraternity house alarm reports directly to an outside monitoring company and the local fire department and DPS are notified to respond. This building is equipped with full detection and sprinkler systems.
Future Improvements
University Avenue housing units will be tied into the integrated fire alarm system monitored by the Department of Public Safety. Additionally, Theta Chi fraternity fire alarm system dialer will be changed to call the Department of Public Safety at 570-372-4444, eliminating the external monitoring company and unnecessary local fire department response.
Supervised Fire Drills
Mandatory, supervised fire drills are conducted for each residence hall and University Avenue residence in the fall and spring semesters by the DPS in accordance with the requirements in the Higher Education Opportunity Act. Additionally, the public address/warning siren is tested each semester to verify its functionality and the Public Safety Dispatcher staffs operational usage.

It's 3 p.m., and you're definitely dragging. Your body feels like a car that's run out of gas. And while your official workday may soon be over, your day probably isn't.
If you're like most women, your to do list probably still includes some or all of the following tasks: pick up the kids, cook dinner, get in a work out, supervise homework, tend to aging parents, walk and feed the dog, feed the cat, catch up on bills, and take care of housework.
Whew. Reading the list alone can make you feel exhausted.
But here's a solution: our six proven fatigue-fighting strategies. Some of these strategies offer an instant energy boost, just in time to shine for the 4 o'clock meeting. Other strategies are longer-term remedies. They require a bit more patience, but they'll pay off big-time in the long run. Once you've mastered these energy-boosting strategies, any one of them can make you feel like you've just had a tune-up.
Energy Boost #1: Reach for energy food
You may be thinking "candy bar!" but a sugar boost will just leave you lagging again in an hour. For a nearly instant energy boost that lasts, eat a healthy snack containing protein and a complex carbohydrate, says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, MPH, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and a weight control researcher at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
One place to find complex carbs is in whole-grain products. "Try a whole-grain cracker with low-fat cheese," Gerbstadt says. "Or a peanut butter sandwich on whole-wheat bread."
The secret? "That combination of protein and a complex carbohydrate (digested more slowly than simple carbs) increases your blood glucose in a sustained way," she says. "It boosts energy longer than if you eat gumdrops, for instance."
Energy Boost #2: Eat a high-carb, high-fiber breakfast
For short-term and long-term energy boosts, make a habit of eating a high-fiber, carbohydrate-rich breakfast, says Jaimie Davis, PhD, RD, research associate at the Institute for Prevention Research at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
As proof it works, Davis points to a study that compared the effects of two carbohydrate-rich breakfasts -- one high-fiber, one low-fiber -- with two high-fat breakfasts. The high-fiber, high-carb meal was associated with the highest level of alertness between breakfast and lunch. The study was published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition.
To boost the fiber and carbs in your first meal of the day, select such foods as whole-wheat toast or high-fiber cereal. A half cup of high-fiber cereal can contain as much as 14 grams of fiber, and some high-fiber breads have 6 grams per slice. Aim for 25 to 30 grams of total fiber daily, Davis says, noting that most Americans get perhaps 10 to 15 grams.

It's been a long standing tradition of ours to go to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. Every year the weather is perfect and we love climbing at Red Rocks. A crag review of Red Rocks will be forthcoming, but for now, I wanted to catch everyone up with our trip thus far.
We've been spending our climbing days at The Front Corridor, a narrow canyon with a nice sandy floor and next to no approach. Kyle has been working his project, Sunsplash, a hard 13b, and is super close to sending. I managed to "send" the warm-up 11b, and an 11d next to it. The next hardest climb is a 12b, which I tried yesterday, but there's at least 2 moves I don't think I'll be able to do. A couple days ago we met 2 climbing families that were taking their kids out to climb at the Sub-Americrag, so Ella and I tagged along. This small crag contains a bolted 5.7 and 5.8. Ella and Hannah, the 2 youngest in the group of kids, stepped up and climbed the routes first. They both did great.
Las Vegas does not lack for rest day activities if you don't mind driving to the Strip. We took Ella to The Tournament of Kings show at the Excalibur with her friend Jade. The girls dressed in their best princess finery and thoroughly enjoyed the show.
We've also been lucky enough to share our Thanksgiving festivities with our friend Greg from Bend. He has kept us entertained and laughing with creative ideas and crafts. I had no idea he was so good with kids, but I think Ella is going to miss "Uncle Greg" a lot when we go home.
So far, it's been a great trip and I'm glad we are fortunate enough to spend a few more days here. I'll work on getting some preggo climbing pics of me, as requested by some friends.

Colorado Bob was badly burned in a house fire (I believe) so if you've never been, be prepared for that. He is, in fact, a super nice guy and the bar is great.
Best Bar Bar St. Louis 2013 - Colorado Bob's Ship of Fools
3457 Morganford Road
St. Louis, MO 63116
Colorado Bob's Ship of Fools anchors the southern end of the Morgan Ford Business District, and so it's appropriate enough that the shipwrecked sailboat and wild elephant ears growing out front give whispers of what's just beyond: a bar worthy of Key West's Duval Street. Inside, a raucous group of regulars heartily greet newcomers to this cash-only booze cruise, while a haze of cigarette smoke hangs in the air like a fog that never fully lifts. It's an all-bottles, whatever-your-taste-is affair here — Pucker, Jim Beam, Skyy and the like — but the beer selection features local good guys like Urban Chestnut and Kräftig. The captain of this ship is, in fact, Colorado Bob, a real guy who ended up helming this south-city bar by way of Key West, and he can spin a yarn like Hemingway. (Who, coincidentally, was a friend of a friend. Ask him about Captain Tony.) Bob has a knack for remembering his customers, even if it's been far too long since they've climbed aboard his merry ship, as well as an endearing habit of making sure that his female patrons make it to their cars OK. A good captain, after all, puts his crew first, and Bob is this town's finest.
@Speaker222 I'm not sure what to say about your comment, but he is a super nice guy and the bar is great.
@Speaker222 What an odd comment. What does it matter if he was burned in a house fire?

Someone forgot to tell Theophilus London and his fans at New York's Terminal 5 last night that he was just the opening act. The place was packed and jumping hours before headliners Friendly Fires hit the stage. And though we were definitely there to hear Theophilus' exciting blend of soul, hip-hop and electro-pop, we were also thrilled to see the up-and-comer's eclectic style in person. Just as he can appeal to hip-hop heads while landing a spot on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack, he can wear ripped jeans, a sequined shirt (he designed himself) AND NIKE AIR MAGS! Closer looks after the jump.
Theophilus' fans are possibly trying to rip off his: Versace leather jacket, "Girls Girls Money" hat (after his single), Nike Air Mags, Ksubi jeans, LVRS tank top (his own design), and Hilfiger watch.

If you are a veteran, chances are you can attend East Tennessee State University debt-free, or with very little expense, depending on your benefits.
ETSU administrators announced Thursday the Buc Hero Program, an initiative that allows veterans from other states to receive a tuition discount to attend the university.
"We're an institution that has historically provided access opportunities and services to veterans," ETSU President Brian Noland said.
ETSU is already a participating institution in the Yellow Ribbon scholarship program, which is available to veterans who have served at least three years of active duty since Sept. 11, 2001. Those students have their tuition covered fully through matching funds from ETSU and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The new Buc Hero awards will assist veterans who do not qualify for the Yellow Ribbon program.
While any veteran who has served since Sept. 11 is eligible for 100 percent of in-state tuition, out-of-state students who are veterans typically have far less financial assistance, said ETSU Veterans Affairs Coordinator Kevin Flanary.
The Buc Hero Program and an expanded Yellow Ribbon program should relieve much of that gap for out-of-state veterans who wish to attend ETSU.
The number of students who are veterans at ETSU has increased by 300 percent during the past decade, Noland said.
The Yellow Ribbon program previously provided what Flanary characterized as a fair amount of money to veterans.
Now, ETSU offers unlimited Yellow Ribbon scholarships. That means if a veteran lives out of state but wants to go to ETSU, they can move here and attend the institution debt-free.
" I can't even tell you how big this is for veterans," Flanary said. "They've earned it. I'm not going to say it's free or a handout. They've earned this benefit. They will come to school debt-free and leave debt-free."
The unemployment rate for veterans has been around 24 percent, Flanary said. There are many veterans today between the ages of 24 and 30.
"So they're still in that prime of their life to be working and stuff," he said. "It's really unfortunate."
Right now veterans and dependents at ETSU number 487.
"We're hoping in the next two to three years to break 750 ... and in five years we'd like to break 1,000."
ETSU Provost Bert Bach said there are three clear goals for the new Buc Hero Program: Doubling enrollment of veterans during the next five years; to be ranked in top 10 percent of veteran-friendly schools (currently ETSU is in the top 15 percent); and to be recognized as a place that provides exemplary support for veterans.
For more information, call Flanary at 439-6819 or email email@example.com

Full detailed profile on Billie Reed (Past) Played by Julie Pinson-Warlock on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Julie Pinson (NBC)
Birthday: November 7 1967
Billie arrives at Chez Rouge and tells Maggie that Lucas made her Ali's godmother. She says it sounded urgent, like something is going to happen. Maggie worries Lucas is drinking but Billie is sure he's not. They promise not to let anything happen to Lucas if they can help it.
Stephanie arrives at Theta house and Morgan says Cordy's locked herself into her room. They find Cordy crying in bed and confesses she's been having nightmares about Ford. They comfort her and she wants to call the police but Stephanie promises they'll get through this.
Chelsea arrives at Theta house and finds Billie hopping mad and wants her to promise not to go out alone while there is a rapist on campus. Chelsea goes into Cordy's room and they all agree on what to tell Billie and how to tell it to her. The girls are shocked when they find out "someone" helped bury the body and wore Ford's clothes out of the house afterward to throw off security. An impatient Billie comes pounding on the door and the ladies go into the common room. Billie says Ford's father is concerned about him. Although Ford has gone AWOL before, he's concerned about Ford since he missed a special dinner. The girls lie that Ford showed up a few nights ago drunk and they let him sleep off his state and watched him in shifts. Billie can't understand why they'd do this considering he is a rapist. Cordy leaves to her room and Billie notes she must have something on her mind. The girls cover and guess Ford took off someplace warm. After Billie leaves, Carmen worries that Billie suspects something. Steph goes to check on Cordy and finds her missing!
Bo asks Billie if Lucas was at the church the night of the shooting and she skirts the issue and flashes back to Lucas begging her to lie to Bo. Bo says he caught Lucas in a few lies and thinks she knows something and wants the truth and Billie confesses Lucas was at the church that night and had a registered nurse looking after the kids but he told her he didn't shoot EJ. Bo comments he knows Lucas had a gun and Billie feels that he set her up. She thinks Bo must have someone following Lucas. Tears form in her eyes as she asks Bo to cut Lucas a break. She leaves. Hope returns from Shawn's room and after Hope finds out what Billie admitted to, she and Bo run off to find the nurse.
Lucas argues with Kate on the phone and hangs up on her. He finds his keys and is about to run out when Billie barges in to tell her Bo wants to know where Lucas was the night EJ was shot. "Any idea why?" she asks, exasperated. Lucas says Bo is on to him but he didn't shoot EJ. He asks Billie to lie for him.
Billie shows up at the pub and Bo tells her to come to him when she has any info on Ford Decker so they can put him away for good. He then asks her straight out where Lucas was the night of EJ's shooting!
Billie finds a pensive Philip at the pub and says she's here to help him get through the day. Philip is sure Belle will be thinking of him today but Billie wonders how he knows this.
Back at the pub, Philip promises to fight for Belle. He comments on her being single and Billie is angered. "I am single, I am sexy and I am fabulous and just because I don't' have a man doesn't make me a miserable human being. When the time is right, it'll happen," she says in no uncertain terms. (Julie Pinson told us on the Soap Cruise that this line was an adlib!) Lucas arrives and tells Philip that Philip should leave, considering everyone is coming. Stephanie calls Kayla, upset and Kay promises to go home right away.
Shawn and Belle arrive at the pub and she takes off his watch, claiming she doesn't want to know what time it is today. She tucks it into his pocket while they kiss. They enter the pub with congratulations all around!
At the pub, Doug makes a speech about Shawn and Belle after telling the family, Shawn Sr. simply had indigestion. Doug says this year, lost loves were reunited; they welcomed new members to the family and lost someone close to them. He brings up the loss of John and says John's there with them in spirit. "Dear God we miss you John, we always will," he says and he welcomes Belle into the family.
Shawn and Belle dance and stare into each other's eyes happily while the family looks on and Edwin McCain's song, "I'll Be (Your Crying Shoulder) plays in the background. Chelsea and Nick kiss and start to dance. While Julie takes Johnny and Maggie takes Ali, Lucas takes Sami's hand and they get on the dance floor. She asks him where they go from here and he kisses her cheek and tells her it's up to her.
Steve congratulates Belle and Shawn and they thank Steve for helping get Claire back.
(Kristina Stacey is playing the role of Cordy Han from today on). At the Cheatin' Heart, the sorority sisters have Adrienne's blessing to post flyers of Ford Decker's face with the word 'Rapist' written boldly across the bottom. The girls drink to taking their lives back and discuss where they'll post the rest. Cordy goes to post the photos of Ford in the bathroom as Ford watches from a window outside. Billie arrives, flyers in hand and tells the girls that they could get in trouble with this. She warns them to stay away from Ford and when Cordy returns, Billie explains how she has stepped up security on campus. The girls go off to the jukebox to put on some cheerful music and Billie tells Chelsea this is not a game. She worries that she'll get hurt and asks if she will move back in with her until Ford is put in jail. Chelsea thinks it's safe for her at the sorority house but Billie isn't so sure and reminds Chelsea Ford hasn't been found guilty and can go and do whatever he likes.

UPCOMINGThe University of New Mexico men's and women's track teams cap a solid indoor season this week at the 2004 Mountain West Conference Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Air Force Academy will host the meet for the fifth straight year, as it welcomes six men's and eight women's teams to Cadet Field House. Competition gets underway on Thursday, Feb. 26, with the women's pentathlon and first day of the men's heptathlon. The action continues with day two of the heptathlon, along with preliminary and finals competition on Friday and Saturday.
UNM enjoyed a well-deserved break from competition last weekend after turning in its best overall performance of the indoor season at Northern Arizona on Feb. 14. The New Mexico men will be looking to improve on last year's fifth place finish (49 points) in the Mountain West, while the women hope to move up from their sixth place finish (49.5 points) in 2003. BYU has swept the women's titles in the previous four MWC meets, while the Cougar men have won three of the past four conference titles. Both BYU squads are the favorites once again this winter with the men and women ranked 15th and 11th, respectively, by Trackwire Online.
MEET INFORMATION/RESULTSComplete information and results from 2004 MWC Indoor Championships will be available at the official athletic department website of the Mountain West Conference:
2004 Mountain West Track & Field Championships
NEW MEXICO AT THE INDOOR CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPSAlthough traditionally an outdoor-oriented program, New Mexico has become more of an indoor threat each year under fourth-year head coach Matt Henry and his staff. The UNM women have scored at least 49 points each of Henry's first three seasons after surpassing the 49-point mark just once in the previous 10 years. In Henry's first year, the women scored a program-best 57 points and matched their best all-time finish by taking fourth at the 2001 MWC Championships. Five of the women's seven all-time indoor conference event titles have come in the Henry era as well, including a program-best three victories in 2003.
The Lobo men, meanwhile, have been steadily returning to the high levels of performance they were accustomed to throughout the 1970s and '80s. New Mexico has averaged 44 points in each of its last three MWC indoor meets after averaging just 12 points per meet from 1992-2000. Although UNM hasn't had a men's indoor conference champion since 1991, the team captured 50 event titles from 1970-91. Henry himself helped the Lobos capture back-to-back Western Athletic Conference 2-mile relay titles and a mile relay crown from 1972-74. New Mexico was, however, mere seconds away from ending its indoor championship drought in 2003 as the mile relay team finished just 0.66 seconds behind BYU and sophomore Matt Gonzales crossed the line 1.86 seconds behind the 3,000m winner after leading much of the race.

LAST YEAR AT THE MWC INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPSCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Senior Keren Sari-Bentzur scored a meet-high 30 points, including victories in the pentathlon and long jump, to lead the University of New Mexico women to a sixth place finish (49.5 points) at the 2003 Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships at Cadet Field House, Feb. 27-March 1. Junior Chris Garofola led a balanced men's effort, scoring a team-high nine points and helping the mile relay team to a runner-up finish as the UNM men finished in fifth place with 49 points.
New Mexico athletes earned all-MWC honors five times, including three conference honors for Sari-Bentzur, and won three women's events. The UNM women had won just two indoor conference championship events in program history prior to Henry's arrival in 2000. Since 2000, the women have brought home five gold medals.
Sari-Bentzur capped one of the finest conference championship performances in school history by scoring 10 points in the triple (38-07) and high jumps (5-05.75) on March 1. She earned victory in the long jump (19-01.25) on Feb. 28 and topped her own school record with a winning score of 3,845 in the pentathlon on Feb. 27. Sophomore transfer Bridgid Isworth captured the third title of the weekend, soaring a season and conference championship best 13-02.50 to win the pole vault. Sophomore Amanda Barnes, meanwhile, broke an 11-year-old UNM record in the shot put (47-00.25).
Sophomore Mark Johnson earned all-MWC pentathlon honors for the second-straight year, finishing third with a career-best score of 3,650. The men's distance medley relay team finished fourth on day two, while Garofola led the sprint efforts by taking fourth in the 60 meters (7.01) and fifth in the 200 (21.93). Garofola and the UNM mile relay team nearly captured the men's first ever MWC indoor title in the final event of the weekend, but finished just 0.66 seconds behind BYU. However, the team did clock a season-best time of 3:15.93 to earn all-MWC honors with its runner-up finish. Sophomore Matt Gonzales took home all-conference laurels for the first time with his third place finish in a tight 3,000-meter race (8:21.37). Senior Mike Pestorich was fourth in the 800m finals (1:54.03), while sophomore Willie Yuen led the field efforts with a sixth place finish in the triple jump (45-05.25).
LAST WEEK (at Northern Arizona)FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Distance ace Matt Gonzales won a pair of races in his indoor season debut to lead the University of New Mexico men to an impressive trio of head-to-head victories in a quadrangular meet on Feb. 14 at the J.L. Walkup Skydome. New Mexico cruised past UC-Irvine (97.5-49.5) and Southern Utah (88.5-58.5), and downed the home team, Northern Arizona, 81-69. Amanda Barnes won the shot put and weight throw, but the Lobo women finished the day 1-2. UNM defeated UC-Irvine, 74.5-62.5, but fell to NAU (79-65) and Southern Utah (85.66-53.33).
Both the men and women enjoyed their best meet of the 2004 indoor season, winning eight gold medals and recording season bests in a combined 14 events. The Lobos also set a pair of school records, including an unlikely new standard in the 60-meter dash from true freshman Jeramie White.
White clocked an altitude-adjusted time of 6.91 to win the event, bettering his previous best by 0.20 seconds. Senior Chris Garofola held the previous school record, clocking a time of 6.96 last year. Junior Amanda Barnes, meanwhile, reclaimed the UNM weight throw record from teammate Jamie Fishencord with a winning throw of 53-09.75, over three feet beyond her previous best.
Fresh off his 13th place finish at the USA Cross Country Championships, junior Matt Gonzales cruised to victories in the 800 and 1,500 meters in his first official indoor appearance. He clocked career-best times in both events, running a 1:53.69 800 and recording an unofficial altitude-adjusted time of 4:08.58 in the mile. New Mexico's homegrown distance crew overwhelmed the competition, as Gonzales, junior Nick Martinez, junior Cameron Clarke and senior Sean Flaherty finished 1-2-3-4 in the mile. Gonzales, senior Matt Bishop, junior Nate Clem and freshman Mike Smiel then placed 1-3-4-5 in the 800.
Seniors Jordan Parker and Jason Barkemeyer led the way in the throws as Parker earned his first career indoor victory with a personal-best throw of 53-05.50 in the shot put. Barkemeyer finished second with a toss of 51-03.00 then notched a career-best mark of 52-01.25 to finish fourth in the weight throw. Parker, meanwhile, was just behind in fifth with a mark of 50-04.75.
On the women's side, Barnes picked up her first gold medals of the year, including a winning throw of 45-06.75 in the shot put. Back on the track, sophomore Kimilia Davis and freshman Riann Lucy earned their first career victories in the 400 and 800, respectively. Davis recorded a personal record time of 57.34, while Lucy crossed the line in a season-best 2:15.65, nearly three second ahead of the runner-up.
Indoor sophomore Jacquelyne Gallegos continued her stellar comeback season finishing third in a powerful mile field. Gallegos clocked an unofficial altitude-adjusted time of 4:58.24, a career-best and just one second behind the winner, NAU standout Ida Nilsson.

SWIFTER, HIGHER, STRONGERUnder the direction of fourth-year head coach Matt Henry and his staff, the 2004 Lobos have continued to improve their indoor performances. This winter the Lobos have eclipsed the top marks of a year ago in 18 events, including 10 on the women's side. Thirteen of the top performances this season are the best in Henry's tenure at UNM. The following is a breakdown of the improvement the men and women have made on their top indoor event marks under Henry:
60m: (6.96 ('03) ~ 6.91, -0.05 sec.), 800m: (1:54.03 ('03) ~ 1:53.69, -0.34), Mile: (4:09.78 ('02) ~ 4:08.88, -0.90 sec.), 60m Hurdles: (8.22 ('03) ~ 8.19, -0.03 sec.), Distance Medley Relay: (10:11.60 ('03) ~ 10:11.16, -0.24 sec.), Shot Put: (51-00.75 ('03) ~ 56-06.00, +5 ft., 5.25 in.).
400m: (57.56 ('02) ~ 57.34, -0.22 sec.), 800m: (2:21.07 ('03) ~ 2:15.65, -5.42 sec.), Mile: (5:10.83 ('02) ~ 4:58.76, -12.07 sec.), 3,000m: (10:16.87 ('02) ~ 9:57.47, -19.40 sec.), 5,000m: (18:15.48 ('02) ~ 17:47.01, -28.47 sec.), Distance Medley Relay: (12:54.20 ('02) ~ 12:20.72, -33.48 sec.), Weight Throw: (49-09.25 ('03) ~ 53-09.75, +4ft., 0.50 in.).
RUN LIKE A CHAMPIONStalwart senior David Lloyd will run his final race in Cherry and Silver this weekend when he joins the 400-meter field at the MWC Championships. In just two short outdoor seasons in Albuquerque, after transferring from Gardner-Webb University, Lloyd established himself as one of the top 400-meter hurdlers in UNM history. The Kingston, Jamaica native was a six-time outdoor all-MWC honoree in the 400m hurdles and as a member of both relay teams. A redshirt during the 2003 indoor season, Lloyd was one of the league's premier sprinters over the past two years at any distance from 100-400 meters.
GONZALES STANDS TALL AMONG NATION'S BESTINDIANAPOLIS -- University of New Mexico junior Matt Gonzales finished 13th out of a field of 112 runners in the 4,000-meter race at the 2004 USA Cross Country Championships on Feb. 7. Gonzales clocked a time of 11:42, just 20 seconds shy of earning a spot on the national team, in his first Cross Country Championships appearance. The top six finishers in the men's 4K and the 12,000-meter race were automatically selected for the USA national team.
Gonzales' time was also just 28 seconds behind the winner, Charlie Gruber, who was running for Nike Unattached. The Santa Fe native also finished 12 spots ahead of former Colorado State standout Bryan Berryhill, a former NCAA Champion and USA runner-up in the 1,500 last year.
"I really thought he could make that team," said UNM head coach Matt Henry. "He told me that he got off to a slow start and that it took him awhile to get used to the snow on the course, but he said that he passed at least 10 people on the final loop."
The 4,000-meter race is half the distance of most regular season collegiate cross country courses. The men move up to run a 10,000-meter race at NCAA regional and national championship competitions.

WHNT News 19 is Taking Action to help you find lost money. On Tuesday night, our 'Lost and Found' event put many of you back in touch with cash and property that belongs to you. It's not too late to see if you have unclaimed property!
When we announced the toll free number on WHNT News 19 at 5:00, the phones didn't stop ringing at the Unclaimed Property Division of the State Treasurer's office for two hours.
"I think the people of north Alabama who've seen your telecast are burning up the phones to Montgomery," said Young Boozer, State Treasurer.
And who wouldn't, when millions of dollars were available for free! In the 10 north Alabama counties covered by WHNT News 19 alone, there are 100,000 claims worth $40 million.
We took action, and viewers got results. If you didn't get a chance to call, the number is 1-888-844-8400.
"Somebody in Hackleburg has discovered $52. There was an individual from Fort Payne, about $1,700 and there was another of over $30,000," said Boozer.
That is something to be thankful for this time of year.
"We certainly hope a lot of people will have extra money for the holidays and that's really our goal to reunite as many people as possible with their unclaimed assets," said Gina Smith, Assistant to the State Treasurer.
Earlier, we found Jeri Clayton by searching the Money Quest Alabama web site. Her parents died in the 1990s. The contents of their safe deposit box were sold when the bank couldn't track down an heir.
The state held on to the money from the auction until we found Jeri. She found out she has more than $1,500 coming to her.
"I had a long journey this past year, and this is just going to help things," said Clayton. "And you are a blessing too, by doing this project, you are going to bless all those people. You took all the action, you got the results and I hope this continues."
There are thousands more Jeri Claytons in north Alabama who have unclaimed property waiting for them. If you didn't get a chance to call Tuesday, you can call 1-888-844-8400 any weekday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Or, check moneyquestalabama.com any time.
State Treasurer Young Boozer says don't just do this once. It's a good habit to check once a year.
"That's what you ought to do. At Thanksgiving, you ought to have turkey, you ought to watch a football game and call the Alabama State Treasurer's Office Unclaimed Property line," said Boozer.
In two hours alone Tuesday night, WHNT News 19 helped viewers recover more than $40,000. This is a free service offered by the State of Alabama. It doesn't cost you a dime. There is no processing fee, either.
You also might want to check the Money Quest Alabama website for auction items. They've had some unusual items over the years, including a set of dueling pistols and a 30 pound rock that sold for $600.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

At the turn of the 21st century, few predicted the overwhelming influence that Canadian music would have on music in the coming years. With apologies to the Arcade Fire, indie-rock supergroup Broken Social Scene is arguably the leader of that movement. Comprised of a revolving cast of nineteen (or so) members of Toronto's elite, boundary-pushing indie music community, the collective combines the varied and distinct talents of its members to create epic, otherworldly sounds.
The band didn't just change Canadian music from a punch line to a global trendsetting phenomenon, though — it also managed to write a new chapter in pop music at a time when many thought that everything had already been done. But strangely enough, when BSS cofounder Brendan Canning is reached by phone at his Toronto home, he seems most excited to talk about...soccer.
"Yeah, I've got semifinals on Sunday," he says. "Maybe I don't have quite the speed I once had, but I think I'm becoming a stronger player. I actually busted some guy's nose this year, which was a strange experience. It's a really competitive league."
"Competition" isn't usually a word associated with Broken Social Scene. Formed in 1999 by Canning and Kevin Drew, the band's beginnings were sparse in terms of personnel and sonics. Its first album, 2001's Feel Good Lost, was a spacey, atmospheric and mostly instrumental effort put together by the pair with the help of drummer Justin Peroff and a few other friends.
In order to infuse the live show with more action and personality, they would often invite other Toronto-area musicians and friends to contribute. This group now reads like a who's who of A-list indie rockers: among others, Metric's Emily Haines; Jason Collett; Apostle of Hustle's Andrew Whiteman; Leslie Feist and Stars' Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan. These live additions eventually became more permanent and collaborative — and defined the music BSS would make over the course of its next two albums, 2002's You Forgot It in People and 2005's self-titled effort.
People is one the best albums of the decade, an experimental pop masterpiece that manages to feel warm and familiar, yet completely original, challenging and groundbreaking. The massive success of the album in Canada caught Broken Social Scene off guard, but Canning is very happy for the opportunities People opened up for the band.
"I named a song 'Been At It So Long' on [2008 solo effort Something For All of Us...]," he says. "I kind of thought it was a funny title since I've been doing the music thing for so long. Not overtly funny, but kind of dry funny. I feel like I've gotten to do a lot of cool things: travel the world, make records, embark on being a vocalist [and] score films. It's been really amazing."
Like the feeling of rushing down a deserted highway with the windows down, Broken Social Scene's music calls to mind idealized personal freedom and the best parts of being an individual, even as it simultaneously harnesses the power of intense and focused collaboration. In fact, it's as though the collective nature of the band allows Drew and Canning to access another dimension of pop music — still from this planet, but existing on a plane that to this point has been hidden from view.
"Capture the Flag" and "KC Accidental" are energetic, gyrating pop numbers, while the quiet emotional power and sparse, deliberate arrangement of "Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl" (along with the sleepy nostalgia of Emily Haines' effects-laden vocals) showed that the band could evoke feelings of dreamy solitude as well. The bouncing frenzy of "7/4 Shoreline" proves that one can actually dance to a song in seven, while hyperactive drumming and infectious falsetto vocal hooks propel "Fire Eye'd Boy."
In essence, that's what really makes Broken Social Scene's music work: It's full of undeniable pop sensibilities but also challenges the ears, while being chock-full of raw emotion and in possession of a seemingly selfless, collaborative spirit that feels honest and inviting.
"We just usually wait and see what happens when we get down to business and start recording and see what sort of sound we've got happening for us," Canning says. "Everybody brings something different to the table."
This spirit continues on the collective's latest endeavor, the Broken Social Scene Presents series, which so far includes Kevin Drew's first solo album, 2007's Spirit If..., and Canning's Something For All of Us.... Both albums feature the familiar production style of David Newfeld and contributions from BSS regulars like Charles Spearin, Feist and Millan. Us... is a smooth, danceable album packed with catchy melodic motifs that float along on clouds of atmospheric production and constantly morphing bass lines and dissonant guitar riffs. "Possible Grenade" takes on a darker shadowy eeriness that has never been part of the BSS sound but works perfectly.
Us... also features a new voice, Land of Talk's Elizabeth Powell. On this current BSS tour, she's doing double duty: Land of Talk is opening, and then Powell will also be joining the band onstage, covering some of the vocal parts usually performed by Haines, Feist and Millan.

Big Labor is having a tough time. You'd think that after spending millions in hard and soft money to get Obama and a Democratic Congress elected, they'd be flying high. But alas, the public's approval of labor unions has never been lower. And unions' No. 1 priority — card check — never even came to a vote. Many of the beneficiaries of Big Labor cash are going to get swept out in November. And now this:
The FBI and U.S. Labor Department are looking into two deals involving Andy Stern — over a six-figure book contract given to the former head of the Service Employees International Union and payments to a labor leader convicted on separate fraud charges, a source familiar with the case told Fox News on Tuesday.
Alejandro Stephens, who was sentenced early this month to four months in prison and three months of home confinement for defrauding a non-profit organization in "bogus consulting agreements," is former president of SEIU local 660 in Los Angeles.
Questioning of Stern, who is a member of President Obama's debt commission, revolve around whether he paid Stephens $150,000 to do nothing as the local union boss. Stephens and Stern met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about the relationship.
Do you think it might be a good idea to take Stern off the commission?
As with many liberal groups and activists, Big Labor is experiencing the worst of times. Would you have imagined this two years ago?

No matter your sexual preference,it's just a click away. I believe sexuality shouldn't be limited by a label, but an ongoing exploration.
When it cums to being on bottom, not many do it better than James Biehn. Though this straight stud loves getting' it on with the ladies, he's secure enough with his own sexuality to show a softer side. Sean Ash was happy to see that side of James... his back-side, that is. Sean started off sucking on James' massive man-meat, and James was happy to return the favor. But Sean had more than just a blowjob on his mind. He couldn't wait to put James on his back and plow his manhole hard and deep. Pleasure and pain become one and the same when you've got a big dick rubbing the right spot at Mike Hancock.

Portland campaign promotes civility, tolerance in public discourse
PORTLAND — From City Hall to the Statehouse to the White House, elected representatives and the people they represent are engaging in an escalating war of words.
But a Portland campaign is trying to turn down the noisy rhetoric, while dialing up the level of "civility" in public discourse.
Choose Civility Portland is hosting a forum on Wednesday where residents can discuss the opportunities and barriers to becoming part of the Portland community. The facilitated discussion, "Welcoming: Energizing Community Connections," is free to the public, and is scheduled from 4-6 p.m. at the Portland Public Library, 5 Monument Square.
Choose Civility Portland is modeled after an initiative by the Howard County, Md., public library system to foster "respect, consideration, empathy, and tolerance" in the community. Since its founding in 2007, the national grassroots education campaign has spread from Maryland to Minnesota, Miami and now, Maine.
Backed with a $50,000 grant from The Lerner Foundation, Choose Civility Portland has also created a 1oo-book collection at the library, led a public workshop on writing letters to newspaper editors, and sponsored film screenings, lectures and other events designed to improve public conduct.
Civility means manners, but Choose Civility is not just about etiquette lessons.
"To maintain a level of openness and inclusion in our community, we have to have some level of civility," said Kimberly Simmons, the library's Choose Civility coordinator. Civility calls for respecting others and their opinions, she explained, even if they're unpopular.
"Civility is about being able to tolerate difference," Simmons said. "... Unfortunately, we live in an intellectually segregated time, in which we often don't have a place to hash out community issues. We become less connected from a sense of common good."
That's a theme echoed by events in Portland, where City Hall has been the site of public discussions that have sometimes turned acrimonious.
In recent months, Mayor Michael Brennan has had to gavel down protesters who have shouted and interrupted City Council meetings. In September, a woman was arrested in council chambers after she refused to sit down during a discussion of the pending sale of Congress Square Plaza. And on Monday, Congress Street resident Janet Daigle – a frequent critic of the city's Public Services Department – once again stood in the chambers and accused city officials of being "liars."
The situation provoked Libbytown resident Michael Ferrar, attending a recent council meeting, to sigh and say, "These politicians are just like a bunch of squabbling children."
The vitriol extends to Augusta, where Gov. Paul LePage has become internationally infamous for his offensive public remarks, including a recent comparison of a state legislator to an anal rapist.
In the oft-quoted words of Rodney King, the California man whose police beating incited the 1992 Los Angeles riots, "can't we all just get along"?
Perhaps not, says Daniel Shea, director of Colby College's Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement in Waterville.
"We no longer understand, appreciate or like the other side in politics," Shea said. "What we're seeing is a slow, steady, increase in nastiness."
Shea, who delivered a Choose Civility public lecture in September, has conducted national surveys about the tone of American politics for the past three years. Sixty percent of the public believes the country is "headed in the wrong direction" because of the vitriol among politicians, pundits and the press, he said.
And 50 percent of Americans believe there's been a decline in the tone of politics since 2008, according to Shea's research.
"Elected officials used to be able to do their thing, with their own special interests, but at the end of the day they'd still find a compromise," he said. "Today, it's getting harder and harder for them to even sit in the same room."
The reasons are many, he said. They include the increasing partisanship of political parties, the growth of extremist news outlets and social media, and even the popularity of TV reality shows.
"Reality TV is really nasty stuff. The best scenes are when people are yelling at each other," Shea said, and the public's affection for that sort of entertainment spills over into politics.
Shea believes the tide of incivility can be reversed, but it will take time.
"We can move toward civility in politics, but it will likely be a slow, grassroots, middle-class effort," he said. "There are many pieces involved, and I don't see a quick fix."
Ultimately, however, the effort will be worthwhile.
"The ability to sit and listen to a differing opinion is at the core of our policy processes," Shea said. "Being respectful to the other side is a democratic value."

The View needs to have a name change to Our View. The current name implies that all viewpoints are heard, but that, in fact, is not the case. I would love to be able to HEAR both sides of the issue and form my own thoughts regarding the topic! The View is notorious for cutting off people with differing views.
Bush wants to preempt "The Office?" Take THAT America.
An 8.5 minute video of Ann Coulter ruined my day.
I couldn't agree with you more TiredMom. Can't hear anything with everyone always talking over each other all the time.
And I am also tired of the political jabs. Obama is the new president, EVERYONE ON THE SHOW needs to let the rest go already!!!!
Hugs to mom and Shelley. That chick may have all the stats in the world and absolutely no personal experience with marriage and motherhood,and for once I am glad that the Viewwomen talked over her and argued with their guest. (Although it was indeed hard to hear what anyone was saying.) Because that bimbo was full of it. She wanted to focus on the women who consciously choose to be single mothers with no intention of the children having a father. The vast majority of single mothers didn't do it that way, myself included. My oldest child has noticed that our home is a happier one with Dad gone. The little ones who can't articulate it … well, their behavior shows that the anxiety level in the home and in themselves has gone way down. Go figure. While that egotistical woman wants to tell women what they are doing wrong, it seems pretty obvious that most of the time, the only thing the women (like me) did wrong was hook up with men who hadn't really grown up. Otherwise, most women go to the ends of the earth to do the very best for the children. And often that includes writing off the bozo who didn't really have his children's best interests at heart in the first place.
Getting off my soap box now.
Hugs Tammy! I dont' agree with Ms. Coulter at all about her candor for single mothers. I have worked my A@@ off to make sure my daughter is a well rounded citizen. H*** she's 18 and has NEVER been in trouble at school, let alone the law.
I do feel that people, Ms. Coulter included, have the right to speak and put they're own foot way down their own throats and make a complete A@@ of themselves. Ms. Coulter admits she's not married or has any children. If she can ever get passed her self-centeredness, she may change her attitude!
Now on to better things… LOST is in 7 days!!!!!
Shelley ;o)
Hey, Tammy and Shelley, can't wait to share Lost theories with you in a few days!
I am one who loves a good debate. I can spend hours going back and forth with someone and loving every minute of it. It really is the best way to learn about differing views and to solidify your own thoughts. I get frustrated with the women of The View because they don't encourage a good, friendly, intellectual debate to ever happen on their show. The minute someone disagrees (anyone, not just Ann Coulter) the ladies get defensive and pull out their claws and bear their fangs. I just want to hear both sides. If I could find a financial backer willing to take a risk, I would start my own show that presents all sides and then lets the audience decide where they stand. At the end of the show the audience could "vote" and the results would be revealed. How fun would that be? For me, fun!!! I don't think a show like that exists. Wouldn't it be refreshing? So now it's my turn to step off the soapbox.

The National Congress of American Indians is calling for the elimination of Native American mascots in sports.
Representatives with the NCAI say the mascot names play a role in racial inequality and lower the self esteem among Native American youth.
The group says nearly one thousand organizations, like the Washington Redskins, have offensive mascots.
NCAI director, Jacqueline Pata says, "It's time for a change, it's no longer acceptable, so it is no longer acceptable for us to hold on to those mascots that continue to oppress a people."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the Redskins name in Washington honors the tradition of Native Americans.
President Obama recently weighed in the controversy, saying he would think about changing the name if he were the team's owner.
Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has repeatedly defended his team's mascot, saying "the name is not a label, but instead a badge of honor."

Entirely Real Photos: It Is Possible That Jennifer Lopez Needs Less Wind Machine
By Linda Holmes
I'm sure Jennifer Lopez knows exactly how much wind is flattering, far more than I do. I'm sure she has a Flattering Wind consultant, and possibly even a Flattering Wind Consultant Handler. ("Assistant To The Flattering Wind Consultant Handler: Coco Maribou. Assistant to Ms. Maribou...")
But honestly, I might have gone with 20 percent less gale force here.

Over the years, the speakers invited to this student/postdoc-run series have attracted an increasingly diverse student body with attendees' interests ranging from pure science to various aspects of engineering. Areas covered by speakers in the previous academic years have included other topics such as statistical mechanics, chemical physics, quantum chemistry, biological networks, and classical simulations.
It's our feeling that our lecture series should be an important complement to usual seminars which are mostly "results-oriented", and thus, we would like to provide the speaker plenty of time to cover the background material as completely as possible. The usual lecture is about two hours with a break in between and a small after-lecture discussion. We encourage speakers to devote the first half of their presentation to a pedagogical introduction to the topic. In fact, some lecturers in the past gave chalk talks! The second half is intended for material of current interest and active research.
The lecture is currently held at MIT, the midpoint of BU and Harvard. While Wednesday afternoon is reserved for the talk, we schedule meetings of our speakers with interested faculty of all participating schools (BU-MIT-Harvard) on the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the same week.
Organizing Committee(email@example.com):
BU: MiKyung Lee, Alexander (Sasha) Kunitsa, Angelo Ziletti
MIT: Thomas Avila, Mike Mavros, Alex Kohn, Sucheol Shin, Natasha Seelam
Harvard: Stephanie Valleau, Jennifer Wei, Jarrod McClean, Thomas Markovich, Nicolas Sawaya


text: Opera is a singular genre, one involving multiple art forms (literature/acting/dance/set design/costumes, etc.). This survey course introduces students to the history and development of the operatic genre. Class meetings include discussions of staging and directing, reception and social implications. Students attend at least three live concerts as part of the course work. No prerequisite except intellectual curiosity and propensity to enjoy learning something new. Offered intermittently.
