Product description
In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal.

Review quote
"Artful, informative, and delightful... There is nothing like a radically new angle of vision for bringing out unsuspected dimensions of a subject, and that is what Jared Diamond has done." -- William H. McNeil "An ambitious, highly important book." -- James Shreeve "A book of remarkable scope, a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably, where so many others have failed, in analyzing some of the basic workings of culture process... One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years." -- Colin Renfrew "This is a brilliantly written, passionate, whirlwind tour though 13,000 years of history on all the continents-a short history of everything about everybody... By at last providing a convincing explanation for the differing developments of human societies on different occasions, the book demolishes the grounds for racist theories of history... After reading the first two pages, you won't be able to put it down." -- Paul R. Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies, Stanford University "The scope and the explanatory power of this book are astounding." "No scientist brings more experience from the laboratory and field, none thinks more deeply about social issues or addresses them with greater clarity, than Jared Diamond as illustrated by Guns, Germs, and Steel. In this remarkably readable book he shows how history and biology can enrich one another to produce a deeper understanding of the human condition." -- Edward O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University "Serious, groundbreaking biological studies of human history only seem to come along once every generation or so... Now [Guns, Germs, and Steel] must be added to their select number... Diamond meshes technological mastery with historical sweep, anecdotal delight with broad conceptual vision, and command of sources with creative leaps. No finer work of its kind has been published this year, or for many past." -- Martin Sieff "[Diamond] is broadly erudite, writes in a style that pleasantly expresses scientific concepts in vernacular American English, and deals almost exclusively in questions that should interest everyone concerned about how humanity has developed... [He] has done us all a great favor by supplying a rock-solid alternative to the racist answer... A wonderfully interesting book." -- Alfred W. Crosby "An epochal work. Diamond has written a summary of human history that can be accounted, for the time being, as Darwinian in its authority." -- Thomas M. Disch "Fascinating and extremely important... [A] synopsis doesn't do credit to the immense subtlety of this book." -- David Brown

MCKENZIE, Tenn. – Following a season opener loss, the Tigers were ready to get back to work on day two of the weekend series against Bethel University (Tenn.). However, the final two games were just as unfriendly as the first. After holding an early two-run lead, ONU dropped game two by a score of 9-5 and lost game three 6-1.
In game two of the three-game series, junior Jonathan Fightmaster (Bourbonnais, Ill.) (0-1) took the ball and threw four innings, allowing seven runs off six hits, walking four. Freshman Matt Webber (Kankakee, Ill.) threw one inning, allowing one run off three hits; and freshman Garrett Saunders (Seffner, Fla.) finished the game, allowing one run off two hits in one inning of relief.
The Tiger (0-3) bats got going in the second inning after Josh Altmann (Homer Glen, Ill.) reached on an error, and Matt Davenport (Swayzee, Ind.) scored. Then Justin Fahy (Fargo, N.D.) singled, scoring Aaron King (Pekin, Ill.) to give ONU a 2-0 lead. The Tigers failed to score again until the top of the seventh inning when the score was already 9-2. Dan Schneider (West Salem , Wis.), Adrian Perez (Chicago, Ill.) and Ryan Kern (Bloomington, Ill.) were credited with RBIs.
For Bethel (8-2), Jason Overton (1-1) started and went six innings, giving up two unearned runs off two hits and struck out five. Dustin Warmath allowed three earned runs in 2/3 innings of relief.
Fahy went 1-for-3 with one RBI and one run. Kern and Davenport had the other two hits in the game. Aaron King scored two runs for the Tigers.
For the Wildcats, Celtic Rush went 2-for-5 with five RBIs and two runs. Tyler Murphy went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and one run.
In game three of the series, senior Paul Griffin (Pekin, Ill.) (0-1) took the mound and went 3 2/3 innings allowing three runs — two earned — off three hits. Junior Steven Beckham (Mt. Vernon, Ill.) pitched 1 /3 innings, allowing three runs off one hit and walking three. Kevin Lasowski (Schererville, Ind.) finished the game, allowing one hit.
The Tigers' pitchers got into trouble in the middle innings, when Griffin allowed two early walks and two singles in the fourth, giving up two runs to go down 3-0. In the sixth inning, Beckham gave up two walks and a single in his first three batters. Lasowski wasn't able to stop the bleeding, giving up a two-run single to his second batter.
It took ONU until the seventh inning to post a run on the board. Prior to that, they had scattered five hits but with no results. The Tigers finally posted a score when Adrian Perez singled, scoring Josh Altmann. Justin Fahy finished 2-for-4, Perez went 2-for-4, Altmann went 1-for-2, and Alex Cavender (Momence, Ill.) and Madison Foster (Indianapolis, Ind.) both had a hit.
For Bethel, Blake Chandler (1-0) went the distance, allowing only one run off seven hits and striking out six.
At the plate, the Wildcats' David Gardner went 1-for-1 with three RBIs. Martin Key went 1-for-2 with one RBI and one run.
The Tigers will travel to Mayfield, Ky. for a three-game series with Mid-Continent Univeristy (Ky.) starting on Friday, February 22.

It's time for 5th and 6th grade girls to register for the annual EAF event that has attracted hundreds of area participants interested in becoming problem solvers and creative thinkers. This year's event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Tennessee Tech University.
"Participants don't have to be sure they love or even understand engineering; just a glimmer of interest and curiosity is all that is needed to enjoy the workshop and learn a lot," said Patty Cowan, EAF co-chairperson and president of the Upper Cumberland Section of the Society of Women Engineers. "This year we're inviting high school girls who've previously been involved with Engineering A Future to join the day. These young ladies will lead activities alongside engineers."
TTU engineering faculty members as well as professional engineers will lead team activities. Dozens of engineering and education student volunteers will guide small groups of girls in the hands-on learning workshop designed to foster interest in science and engineering education and careers.
"I've been an engineer my whole life, and I know this is a way to build on the attention and the enthusiasm these young women possess," said Cowan.
A free adult workshop will also be offered from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. to introduce parents, teachers and counselors to the possibilities an engineering profession provides. Sign-in will take place in TTU's Memorial Gym the day of the event.
The $12 fee per student includes all activities, lunch and commemorative T-shirt.
Payment and registration must be received no later than Dec. 17. The deadline, earlier than previous years, will help parents and organizers avoid registration issues caused by school snow days and holiday schedules.
Attendance is limited to 160 participants, and registration will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. There will be no on-site registration. To register, visit www.tntech.edu/engineering/eaf. If you have questions, contact a co-chair: Corinne Darvennes at 931-372-3253; Cowan at 931-520-8569; or Dakota Brown at 931-528-9440.
Engineering a Future 2011 is being sponsored by the Tennessee Space Grant Consortium, Tennessee Tech University, Cummins Filtration, and the Society of Women Engineers.

Since I don't know if you can add tags to various text formats like you can to audio formats, for portability I suggest saving a file in the document's folder and/or, less portably, in a central file. Or it could simply append to the filename, like I do, a string of the text next to the cursor or at the top of the page, and find it when reopening it, which would make it work like a tag, and perhaps the date last opened and perhaps total time spent reading. And it could also restore the window position and size and send commands to remove toolbars etc. if the app doesn't remember them. An option to choose which method(s) to use.
You would teach the app by mouse where the text window is (or the page number field if needed), and tell it what key commands are needed to operate Find (or Go to Page) (presets for common software). It reads some of that text (or page number), stores it and when the file is opened, it issues a find/go to page and you're back where you left.
Also if you have multiple files open (Foxit Reader, Notepads, Word, Browser) it would optionally store all of their state simultaneously, as a session, so when you open one, every other file is opened, too, and their positions restored.

This week's session focused on landscapes, and opened with a huddle around a couple of aging sketchbooks by early 20th century painters brought in by Liza Kirwin, a curator at the

Variable universal life insurance with a death benefit and account value growth potential
Variable universal life insurance (VUL) is designed for individuals or business owners who need life insurance protection plus tax-advantaged account value accumulation with exposure to the potential upside of market investing. VUL also has an account value that can grow tax deferred and that you can borrow against, should the need arise. Note that loans and withdrawals will reduce the policy's account value and death benefit, may affect your guarantees, may cause the policy to lapse, and may have tax consequences.
What does Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL (NY) have to offer?
Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL is a variable universal life insurance policy which gives you more than a death benefit. It is also designed specifically to help you accumulate account value over time for future goals, such as supplemental retirement income or a legacy for your beneficiaries.
With Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL, you can tap into the growth potential of the market through a broad range of fixed and variable investment options. And, your account value grows tax deferred.
What does Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL mean for you?
- The financial assurance of death benefit protection.
- Account value growth potential.
- A policy that provides access to a potentially greater accumulation value.
- A tax efficient way to accumulate assets and pass them on.
With Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL you can enjoy benefits you need today while being sure you're protecting your family or business.
- Death benefit protection. Lincoln VUL (variable universal life insurance) lets you be sure your loved ones or business, as designated beneficiaries, can continue as you planned even if you're not there to provide for them.
- Account value growth potential. Your account value grows tax deferred. Plus, you can take withdrawals or borrow against it. Loans and withdrawals reduce the policy's account value and death benefit, and may affect guarantees, cause policy lapse, or have tax consequences.
- Ability to pass on a valuable legacy. Lincoln VUL could provide your beneficiaries with financial resources to pay estate taxes, continue a business, or meet other financial needs.
- The freedom to invest in a diverse portfolio. Lincoln VUL gives you the flexibility, protection, and tax advantages of life insurance with a range of fixed and variable investment options.
- The added benefit of tax advantages. With Lincoln VUL, your beneficiaries can receive a benefit free of federal and state income taxes.
Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL includes:
Automatic Rebalancing
This optional feature automatically adjusts the values allocated to each account to match the percentages you specified on the policy application to fit your goals and risk tolerance. You may rebalance on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. You may elect this option at any time; however, it's not available for funds in the Fixed Account or with dollar cost averaging.
Dollar Cost Averaging
This optional program lets you systematically allocate specified dollar amounts from the money market fund or the Fixed Account to the variable accounts. By allocating funds on a regular basis, as opposed to a one-time allocation, you may reduce the average cost per unit over time. If this option is elected from the Fixed Account, it must be requested at issue; however, it may be elected at any time from the money market fund. It is not available in conjunction with automatic rebalancing. Dollar cost averaging neither assures you of a profit, nor protects against loss in a declining market. It involves continuous investment in securities, regardless of fluctuating price levels. You need to consider if you'll be in a position to continue purchasing thorugh periods of low price levels.
Client Directed Monthly Deductions
The option is yours to have monthly deductions (such as cost of insurance or administrative charges) taken from a designated fund or funds. You can select up to five investment options (including the money market and Fixed Account) from which the monthly deductions will be taken. You can elect this option at any time.
Lincoln AssetEdge® VUL is issued on LN698 and state variations by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, Fort Wayne, IN, distributed by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., and offered through broker/dealers with an effective selling agreement. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company is not authorized nor does it solicit business in the state of New York. Contractual obligations are backed by the claims-paying ability of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company.
Policies sold in New York are issued on policy form LN698 by Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York, Syracuse, NY, and distributed by Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. Contractual obligations are backed by the claims-paying ability of Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York.
Policy values will fluctuate and are subject to market risk and to possible loss of principal. Product and features subject to state availability.
Variable products are sold by prospectus. Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the variable product and its underlying investment options carefully before investing.

By Elaine WilsonAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2010 As she has in years past, Pat Moseley lit the Hanukkah menorah earlier this month, and then the Christmas tree, without her deployed soldier husband.
As a 20-plus-year military spouse, Moseley has grown accustomed to celebrating her family's dual, month-long holiday season without him.
But this year, as she watched the Hanukkah candles flicker and said her prayers in the family's Fort Campbell, Ky.,-area home, she did so not only with her husband's safety in mind, but also her older son's.
Moseley's husband, Sgt. 1st Class Jon Moseley, of the 101st Airborne Division's 4th Brigade, and their son, Army Spc. Chris Moseley, are both deployed in Afghanistan for a year, although to separate locations.
As a seasoned Army wife and mom, Moseley is familiar with the roller-coaster ride of emotions a deployment entails. "I know I'll be a little down, a little depressed; it's hard around the holidays," she said. "But I've learned to reach out to friends, put more effort into the [family readiness group]."
Moseley is one of thousands of family members weathering the holidays without a deployed loved one this year. More than 140,000 U.S. servicemembers are deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, along with thousands more to other locations around the world.
Back home, their families are tackling the task of upholding long-standing holiday traditions, or creating new ones, while working to keep spirits high and their deployed loved ones close at hand.
Rather than dwell on past traditions, and the lack of her husband and son to share them, Moseley is determined to create new memories that will sustain her through the long winter days ahead.
Moseley and her younger son, Jon, will celebrate the holidays in a cabin with close friends. She plans to cherish their time together, particularly since Jon, an Army specialist, is set to deploy to Afghanistan in the spring.
"One will be coming back and two more will be there," she said, referring to Jon and her husband, who won't return until the summer.
Although tucked away in the countryside, Moseley will ensure she's able to include her husband and deployed son in the festivities. If they can time it right, they'll open gifts "together" online.
"The Internet is a blessing," she said. "Having a voice connection is so important."
While she misses them when they're away, Moseley said she's proud for the sacrifices her husband and two sons have chosen to make. "I'm so very proud of them, for the choices that they've made and what they've done for me and their country," she said.
Donnie Mock also has shifted his family's traditional holiday plans to avoid the ghosts of Christmas past. Rather than drive to visit family in Ohio, he plans to stay home at Fort Campbell and enjoy a quiet holiday with his three children.
"I figured we'd have the holidays here; do something different, said Mock, whose wife, Army Sgt. Kellie Mock, of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Brigade Combat Team, is deployed in Afghanistan.
Mock, a stay-at-home dad, plans to cook a big dinner for their children: 10-year-old Donnie III, 4-year-old Dayon and 2-year-old Seagurin. The highlight of their day, he said, will be when they talk to Kellie online via Skype. "We're going to call her on Christmas for her time zone and then on Christmas here, so it's like having two holidays," he said.
On their third deployment, Mock also is accustomed to the gamut of emotions that comes with separation, and is understanding when his youngest wakes him up in the middle of the night wondering, "Where's Mommy?" His focus during the holidays, and every other day, he said, is to be his family's rock.
"I want to be there for her and the kids as well as our extended family," he said. "They're also worried. But it helps to have someone standing strong, and I would like to think that's me.
"I keep spirits going, hopes up high, that no harm will come to her or anyone else," he said.
Mock finds comfort in knowing that his wife is serving a greater good, and tries to pass that knowledge on to his children. "I tell them she left for a really good reason," he said. "It helps to grasp the concept of why she left and what it's for; it's a good thing.
"It takes a strong mind and soul to be in the armed forces," he added. "It takes a special kind of person to do the job we do -- spouses and military."
Kari Armstrong, wife of Army Staff Sgt. Joseph Armstrong, of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 4th Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, will be drawing on her own reserve of strength this holiday season while her husband is deployed in Afghanistan. This holiday will be her first without her mother, who died in February.
On Christmas, she plans to spend time with her father, who has Alzheimer's disease, and with her Army wife friends. "We do everything together when the holidays come," she said of her friends. "We've formed that typical Army wife, buddy bond."
Armstrong has kept busy since her husband deployed from Fort Campbell in July, the second time in their four years of marriage. "The best way to cope is to stay busy, stay involved with the family readiness group," she said. "It makes it go by faster."
Still, Armstrong wishes her husband, whom she calls the "rock of the family," could be home, "not just because of the holiday, but what it will be like without [my mother]," she said.
As with many military spouses, despite her own challenges, Armstrong offers her husband unwavering support.
"My husband is doing what he loves to do," she said. "I'm here for the ride no matter what he does. He always has a support system back home." Her holiday wish for him, she added, is that he returns home safely.
Moseley said she has one wish for her husband, son and all the deployed troops: "I wish them a peaceful day," she said, "that they can have a moment of peace to enjoy the blessing of Christmas."

RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) – Seven years after the Virginia General Assembly passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting same sex marriage in the Commonwealth, opinions may be shifting.
A new poll released by the Human Rights Campaign, a leading LGBT advocacy group, found 55 percent of Virginians polled supported same sex marriage. Researchers also found 71 percent of respondents under the age of 30 support gay marriage.
The bipartisan poll was done by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and Target Point Consulting from June 26-30, 2013.
Support for same-sex marriage varied in different parts of Virginia, the poll found.
- 68 percent in Northern Virginia support same-sex marriage
- 53 percent in Central Virginia support same-sex marriage
- 51 percent in Eastern Virginia support same-sex marriage
"There is no question we're making movement when it comes to fairness and equality across the country," Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin said.
He added the poll showed Virginia is closely following national trends, and needed to rethink marriage equality policy.
Opponents said the reliance on polling to gauge broad public opinion is a slippery slope.
"I think the longer I've been involved with politics, the more and more dismissive I've become of simple polling," Family Foundation of Virgina policy analyst Jessica Cochrane said.
Cochrane said the Family Foundation of Virginia supports traditional marriage, between a man and a woman, because children thrive best in those family units. Cochrane added that instead of speaking through polls, voters have made their voices heard at ballot boxes.
"The real polling that matters is when people go to the ballots and actually vote. What you'll see is an overwhelming majority of states where people have rejected same sex marriage," Cochrane said.
Political experts told CBS 6 changing the constitutional amendment that bans same sex marriage in Virginia will be unlikely in the current political climate. Republicans control the House of Delegates, so CBS 6 political analyst Dr. Bob Holsworth said any changes will not happen next session.
The topic may become an important issue in the governor's race, Holsworth said.
CBS 6 reached out to both the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor.
Attorney General and Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli's office released this statement:
"Ken Cuccinelli has always believed that marriage should be between one man and one woman, and he will continue to defend the definition of traditional marriage under Virginia's Constitution. While Ken has been consistent and clear on this issue, Terry McAuliffe has been eager to attack his opponent, but failed to take a position on the issue much like so many others. McAuliffe's argument is intellectually dishonest and will be seen as cravenly self-serving by voters in the Commonwealth." -Anna Nix, Press Secretary for Ken Cuccinelli
Democrat Terry McAuliffe's campaign responded with this statement:
"Terry supports marriage equality but he understands that this is an issue that Virginians of goodwill come down on both sides of. Terry believes we must make Virginia the best place in the world to live, work, and raise a family for all Virginians." -Josh Schwerin, Terry McAuliffe campaign.

I just heard it on ESPN radio as well. Cowher was being interviewed by Mike and Mike, but would not comment.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes was charged with domestic violence early Monday, police said.
Holmes was arrested at an apartment just after midnight and taken to Franklin County Jail, Sgt. Loucious Hollis said. He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.
Hollis confirmed the domestic violence charge against Holmes, but declined to say who made the complaint or provide details of the allegation.
A message left for the Steelers by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
It was Holmes' second arrest since being selected in the first round of the NFL draft. He was arrested in South Beach, Fla., for disorderly conduct during a Memorial Day weekend crackdown by local authorities.
Steelers coach Bill Cowher criticized Holmes the following week, but said he wouldn't hold the incident against the former Ohio State receiver.
"Whatever he did wrong, I don't think he handled it properly," Cowher said then. "I think he'll learn from it and understand the scrutiny he's under. We have not talked face to face about it. I don't have any long-term concerns."

Semaj Christon had a team-high 27 points and was one of two Musketeers to score over 20 points in the contest.
Jan. 12, 2014
OMAHA, Neb. - Xavier cut a 14-point deficit to just three in the waning seconds, but was unable to complete the rally in a 95-89 loss at Creighton in the Musketeers' first BIG EAST road game in the BIG EAST. The loss snapped XU's eight-game win-streak, bringing the Musketeers' record to 13-4 and 3-1 in the BIG EAST. Creighton improved to 13-2 overall (4-0 BIG EAST).
A Creighton three-pointer with 8:45 remaining in the game extended the Bluejays lead to 14, but Xavier refused to fold and scored the next eight points to trim the lead to six, 71-65. CU answered and pushed the lead to 12, 85-73, with just two minutes to play.
Once again, XU responded by putting together a 13-4 run over the next 90 seconds. Stainbrook connected on a layup to start the rally. Dee Davis connected on a three, Semaj Christon converted a Landen Amos steal into a layup, Justin Martin found the bottom of the net with a trey and Davis converted his second trifecta of the run.
Creighton stemmed the tide and pushed its lead back to seven, 93-86, with four consecutive free throws. Martin answered with another three, but the Bluejays' Austin Chatman sealed the game with two more free throws with seven seconds remaining.
The game featured two of the best players in the conference, Xavier's Christon and BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year Doug McDermott. The two players didn't disappoint. After scoring 28 points against Marquette on Thursday, Christon poured in another 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field. McDermott, a two-time All-American, finished with 35 points (13-of-24).
Nine players reached double-figures in the high scoring affair. In addition to Christon's 27, Martin went 7-of-14 from the floor and 5-of-10 from three-point territory in his 21-point effort. Matt Stainbrook added 15 points and Davis closed with 14.
Ethan Wragge (15), Devin Brooks (14), Austin Chatman (12) and Jahenns Manigat (11) joined McDermott in double-digits for the Bluejays.
Xavier jumped out to a 12-0 lead to start the game, connecting on 4-of-5 from three to force a Creighton timeout just 2:11 into the game. Creighton responded with an 18-4 run and closed the half with a 39-35 lead. Martin and Davis led XU with nine points in the frame, while Doug McDermott
The Musketeers connected on 43.3 percent (13-for-30) of their shots in the half, including 58.3 percent (7-of-12) from long-range. The Bluejays knocked down 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the field and 46.7 percent (7-of-15) from three.
Georgetown will head to Cincinnati for a meeting with Xavier on Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

Strength comes from competition, which comes from depth. When it comes to golf, Galax is bountiful in all three. Once again in the Region C golf tournament, Galax relied on its overall team strength. Last year it was enough to squeak by with a second-place finish.
Joe Wilson has spent much of his life preserving the legendary music of America's past, and this week the nation returns the favor.
The folklorist, who lives in Fries, is set to receive the "Living Legend" award today, Friday, from the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
Tanya Gonyo was just seven months old when her grandfather Kyle Creed, a local old-time music legend, passed away in 1982.
But when Gonyo, now 27, of Richmond, stepped into the Stringbean Coffee Shop on Sept. 12 and saw hundreds of old pictures and banjos her grandfather made, the overwhelming feeling brought tears to her eyes as she realized what his banjo playing and instrument making has inspired.
BAYWOOD ee* Students at Baywood Elementary showed their pride to be citizens of America during a Constitution Day program held at the school last Thursday.
The program was hosted by Mrs. Fleming's third-grade class and had been performed for the school's Parent Teacher Organization earlier that week.
The celebration was part of a national day that celebrates the birth of the United States' government. It was on Sept. 17, 1787, that the 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created.
Most every Friday night, the sounds of the mountains ride the radio airwaves down the backroads of Virginia and North Carolina, from the Blue Ridge Mountains down to the Piedmont.
For a decade, that traditional string music has been broadcast from Galax on WBRF-98.1 FM, which sends out 100,000 watts of old-time and bluegrass music from the stage of the historic Rex Theater in downtown Galax.
The powerhouse radio station, along with a group of dedicated volunteers, will celebrate a decade of promoting and presenting the traditional string music that Galax is known for.
The American Constitution begins with "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Last week, Baywood Elementary students performed a program honoring Constitution Day ee* the birthday of America's government, Sept. 17 ee* and it was enough to make anyone proud to be an American.
Trail helps us celebrate heritage
I read a wonderful article by April Wright in the Dec. 15-16, 2008, edition of the Gazette, titled "Money Trail."
The article focused on the $23 million economic impact that the Crooked Road initiative brought to 10 counties and 19 towns stretching from Dickenson to Franklin County.
Of the $23 million, $13 million was attributed to direct sales of goods. The foundation for the Crooked Road was a regional effort to promote our heritage; one consisting of natural amenities, music and artisans.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll County's grand jury had a full docket Monday, and considered more than 200 indictments, including cases involving a murder and two unrelated bank robberies in the Twin Counties this year.
HILLSVILLE — The big challenge for Carroll County Public Schools — beyond swine flu virus and Virginia's budget crisis — is finishing the school construction program, Superintendent Greg Smith said in a "state of the schools" address Sept. 14.
Keith Barker was named interim city manager during a called meeting of Galax City Council last Thursday.
Barker will replace City Manager Keith Holland, who has resigned effective Oct. 2.
He also was appointed to replace Holland on the social services committee, on Virginia's aCorridor, and on the E911 and Galax-Grayson Emergency Services boards.
Other board appointments will be discussed at the next city council meeting Oct. 12.

The Baptist Hill offense showcases playmakers who can run, throw, catch and score from any place on the field. On defense, the Bobcats have pitched two straight shutouts and have allowed only eight points in three games.
The Bobcats are a complete team and have climbed to No. 10 in the latest state media poll of the top Class A teams.
But coach Marion Brown isn't looking back on what his team accomplished as the Bobcats prepare for a 7:30 p.m. game Friday against the winless North Charleston Cougars. He says the work has just begun.
"North Charleston is better than their record," Brown said. "After that, we have a game at Charlotte Christian and then we travel to Midland Valley. Those are two tough challenges."
Success is nothing new to the Bobcats. They went 7-4 last fall and won the Region 6-A championship. But a funny thing happened on the way to postseason success. The Bobcats were eliminated in Round 1. Cross, meanwhile, finished third in the region yet went on to win the Division II-A state title.
The lesson learned was that it's better to peak late rather than early.
"This year, we can be as good as we want to be," said Brown. "We have a lot of determination, and we have a goal. But for now, we take it one game at a time."
The Bobcats also have talent. It begins with quarterback Troy Harrison, who had a change in priorities this season. He made football his No. 1 consideration.
"For the first couple of years, my focus was on basketball," he said. "Now, football is first and basketball is second. All my effort, right now, is football."
Harrison has shown improvement every week. He riddled Burke's secondary last week in a 37-0 victory. He passed for 262 yards and three scores while running for 87 yards and two more TDs.
"He's having a super year because he's focused," Brown said of Harrison. "This is his fourth year in the program, and this is now his priority."
But Harrison isn't the only playmaker on the Bobcats' roster. Wide receiver DeAngelo Frasier is averaging more than 20 yards per reception and had a couple of TD catches last week. Running backs Dakota Holmes and Rashad Holmes both average more than 10 yards per carry.
Wide receiver Dominique Brant and running back Shaquille Coles keep the yard-line chains moving. Phil Hamilton anchors both the offensive and defensive lines.
"We have a lot of players who can make plays," Harrison said. "We can go far as long as we stayed focused. We have to keep working so we can stay ahead."

David Swanson: Taxes are a byproduct of wars. Were it not for wars and war propaganda, this country would have never begun paying taxes. If we were to end wars, and only if we were to end wars, we could consider ending taxes too.
Blue Dog Democrats Exposed as Frauds
Paul Hogarth: many Blue Dogs are in trouble because of health care, and ironically what could save their hide is a public option. Instead, they are left selling a corporate-friendly bill hashed behind closed doors that forces Americans to buy private insurance – which will only make their constituents vote Republican. That's why so many Blue Dogs are retiring – so they can bail and become lobbyists for the insurance industry.
Despite Obama, "Yes We Can" Spirit Survives
Randy Shaw: In the Beltway, the Obama Administration frustrated key constituency groups and organizations by failing to push for transformative change. In the world where most people live and work, activists were not deterred by Obama's inaction and instead seized upon the "Si Se Puede" spirit to build successful campaigns for justice.

Classes behind bars
A young man or woman accused of a crime in Durham County can land in jail for months awaiting trial.
He or she may well have dropped out of school. And the resulting lack of marketable skills or a high-school diploma, that minimal credential for even most low-paying jobs, may have contributed to the encounter with the judicial system in the first place.
Or the defendant may have been struggling to keep up with school work, determined to plow through obstacles of difficult home environment, low socio-economic status, poor instruction in early grades – or all of those, and more.
We know that educational deficiencies and poor-to-nonexistent employment prospects contribute to what one federal report caustically referred to as the "catch-and-release" cycle in which inmates are far too likely to return to jail.
"Most of the nearly 700,000 state prisoners released each year are ill equipped to meet the challenges of reentering society," observed the 2009 report, "Partnerships Between Community Colleges and Prisons."
"More than two-thirds of released prisoners are arrested within three years of leaving prison," the report said, "and almost half are reincarcerated because they are lacking marketable skills, are burdened by a criminal record that makes them ineligible to be hired in many occupations, and have few supports to make transitions to society."
The report's title is ironic in North Carolina because four years ago the General Assembly abruptly barred the state's community colleges from providing education to inmates in county jails, although the community colleges continue to be involved with state prison inmates.
In Durham, with some prodding, the sheriff's department, which runs the jail, is designing a pilot program to use the inmate welfare fund to offer adult basic education and high-school-equivalency courses in the jail.
Victoria Peterson, a local activist who frequently addresses jail issues, put it succinctly to The Herald-Sun's Ray Gronberg: "They are locking up kids for several years and there is no educational system in that jail for kids under 18." The pilot program would provide classes for inmates in the jail aged 16 to 24.
The legislature's action in 2010 to halt community college efforts in county jails followed a Civitas Institute report that challenged the value of the classes and argued that in tight budget times "there should be no money to spare for educating criminals who have violated the laws of our society."
As Gronberg pointed out in a story Sunday, that argument "presumes the guilt of those benefiting from the classes." Many jail inmates are awaiting trial – presumed innocent and, in fact, often found not guilty when their day in court arrives.
Given all the benefits to providing some instruction to inmates, it is commendable that the sheriff's department is stepping up to fill the void the General Assembly unwisely created.

Wolfpack Track & Field Begins Competition at NCAA Regionals
May 23, 2012
Men's Outdoor Performance List | Women's Outdoor Performance List
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – NC State's 26 entries in the NCAA East Regional Preliminaries will begin competition on Thursday at the University of North Florida's Hodges Stadium.
All-Americans Ryan Hill, Kenyetta Iyevbele and Andie Cozzarelli will all see action on the first day of competition, as they look to finish in the top 12 of their events and advance to the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, in early June.
Hill, who was a first-team indoor All-American at the 3,000 meters earlier this year and an NCAA outdoor qualifier last year, will run in the first round of the men's 1,500 meters at 5:30 p.m., looking to advance to Saturday's quarterfinals. Hill is also entered in Friday's 5,000-meter semifinal, along with fellow 2011 NCAA qualifier Andrew Colley and senior Bobby Moldovan and Sandy Roberts.
Iyevbele, a first-team All-American last year as a freshman in the women's 800 meters, will compete in the first round of that event on Thursday, looking to advance to Friday's quarterfinals. Senior Tiayonna Blackmon will also compete in the first round of the event.
Cozzarelli, a second-team All-American as a sophomore last year, will compete in the semifinals of the women's 10,000 meters on Thursday. She will also run in the women's 5,000 meters on Saturday. Freshman Joanna Thompson will also compete in the Thursday's 10,000 meters.
Other athletes competing on Thursday include sophomore Nathaniel Williams and redshirt freshman Jule Rich in the men's discus, redshirt freshman Tremanisha Taylor and senior Lawanda Henry in the women's shot put and junior Karimah Shepherd in the women's long jump.
Veteran head coach Rollie Geiger is looking to advance as many athletes as possible from the regional preliminary round to the NCAA Championships, which begin 10 days following the regional meet at Drake Stadium.
"In order to score at nationals, you have to be in the top 12 at regionals," Geiger said. "That is our only focus right now, to get people to nationals.
"The most important thing about this weekend is that no one, no matter how good they are, can look past this weekend to the championships. You have to be on top of your event at regionals to have any hope of advancing."
While Geiger and his athletes are looking forward to competing in a newly renovated facility, they also know they will have to compete with the northern Florida heat and humidity. Most running events will be held in the late afternoon and early evening, while the field events begin midmorning.
"The heat will affect everyone equally, of course, but we have several distance runners who will be competing in two events," Geiger said. "They have to be particularly careful to stay hydrated every day as they prepare for their events."
Full coverage of the meet is available from this championship central page and results and recaps from the three-day event will be available on GoPack.com at the end of each day.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Jeylin White
Scores of Clayton County residents, school officials and staff members, elected officials, students and parents, braved the sizzling heat -- and even a bit of rain -- on Saturday, to join the official celebration of the school system winning back its accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
The celebration kicked off with school leaders and local elected officials imparting words of wisdom to the crowd that ebbed and flowed as the event covered more than four hours at the Gerald Matthew's Soccer Complex, in Lovejoy.
The festivities included performances from school students, who showed off their talents: Students rapped, danced, sang and played the violin. There were also inflatables for kids, a clown who painted faces, and food and snacks that included ice cream, hot dogs and hamburgers.
Noticeably absent from the celebration aimed at restoring community pride and confidence in the school system, however, was Superintendent Edmond Heatley.
Deputy Superintendent Stefanie Phillips told the audience the reason for Heatley's absence was because of a family event he had to attend. "His mother put the fear of death in him, if he did not attend the family event," said Phillips, "but, he's here in spirit."
(During a school board meeting Monday night, Heatley apologized to the community for missing Saturday's celebration. He said he was out of town to celebrate his father's 78th birthday. He then thanked all of the community sponsors who made the event possible. "We could not have done this without the community's help," he said. "We [the district] didn't have any money to put on this event.
"As long as the community had a good time, and the staff had a good time, I was there anyway," he said. After all, he added, the purpose for the celebration was to let the public know how grateful school officials were for the community sticking with the district during the "trials and tribulations" of re-gaining full accreditation.)
The school district lost its accreditation in 2008, after failing to meet eight of nine mandates that SACS, the accrediting agency, had issued earlier that year. Then in May 2009, it regained accreditation on a two-year, probationary status. And finally, regained full accreditation earlier this year.
After the speeches on Saturday, the party seemed to pick up steam when the "Electric Slide," was introduced. Even then, community members seemed a little reluctant to join in, until the D.J. -- Marcus D. Wiley, of Praise 102.5 FM -- played the "Wobble," the newest version of the Electric Slide -- and young and old seemed to find common ground.
Sharde Harper and Kayla Hines, who attend Mundy's Mill Middle school, came out to support the school system. Both agreed that their teachers, and school officials, have done a great job in helping improve student achievement. They said the celebration was well-deserved.
"I feel like all my teachers have done a great job in helping me," said Hines. "We need a little more authority [in the schools]," she said, "because we have a lot of bad things going on in the schools, like pregnancies, and gangs."
Harper, on the other hand, said she was concerned about possible cutbacks in the sports programs in the schools. "I guess because of the budget cuts," she said, adding that sports give students a feeling of more "freedom," that helps control discipline problems. "Some kids may have problems at home, and sports is a way for them to [escape]," she said.
Yvonee McCoy brought her five children to Saturday's celebration. She said she has been a resident of Clayton County for almost 20 years. "I have been with this county through all the highs and the lows," said McCoy, "and I'm so very proud of how far the [school system] has come."
She added that she believes this is going to be a "blessed year" for the school system, because she believes teachers in Clayton County will "be about their business" in seeing that students excel.
Deputy Superintendent Phillips said the hope is that people will recognize the district's accreditation status, and as a result, the system will be able to recruit even more qualified teachers. She added that the goals for this year are to surpass the performance benchmarks set out by the state. "We want to make sure that all students are exceptional, and all students are being challenged," she said.
Winning back accreditation is a big positive step for the school system, Phillips said, but "there are still some challenges ... to face.
"We have a new curriculum that is coming up, that we are going to have to implement," she said. "We have to make sure teachers are highly trained, and that they [teachers] are up to par and ready to go."
School Board Chairperson Pam Adamson said Heatley deserves a lot of credit for the job he has done in helping the system regain full accreditation, and thinks he is an important ingredient in the district's continued success. "We plan on keeping him here, even if we have to nail his feet into the ground," she said.

Toy Car and a Hobby-Grade RC Car: What Is the Difference
Most people, those who find themselves not that knowledgeable about RC games, perceives that there is not much distinction between buying a remote-controlled toy car in the department store and an improved, true-form hobby-grade RC car.
With a gadget automobile, you cannot fine-tune the tyre and the brakes. Additionally, when playing with a gadget auto, it'll probably veer off the track causing it to collision into a wall or anything. By that time, there will be no point for you personally but to throw it to the waste bin.
If you really want to turn this gadget right into a hobby, you better choose hobby RC car since the fast-screaming radio-control sporting car caught a monitor and on occasion even in your home is priceless. There's likewise less fret with the RC auto because it's made of top quality materials.
RC vehicles can be found in different dimensions and ranges from 1/28th scale (mini RC) to a massive 1/8th scale (RC cart). All RC autos are laden with unique capabilities and wonderful specs. And if you're individual enough to appear for a humble RC automobile, you can get RC equipment with a best rate of 60km/h for only a few hundred dollars.
The most typical of the RC cars are those with 1/10th range that comes fully-built and are ready-to-run out from the container. If you have enough time and knowledge, you also can get your hands on some sets that enable you to create the cars in stages and by components.
Now, the first thing you need to know about an RC vehicle (if ever you end up buying one) is the digital quickness settings, or even the ESC. It's a device on a signal that is transmitted by the electronics from your stereo operator towards the RC car that tells it to move faster or slower. It's likewise the device that markets the RC auto to slow, switch a contour, etc. These are some of its characteristics, if you're going with an electric-powered RC vehicle. However, for gas-powered RC cars, they don't have these standard features.
Most RC automobiles come with a clear canvass that you could put stickers on, coloring or apply up with your own personal design. You may also get some RC autos with pre-painted physique shells.
With a shattered model car, you can't also since these are usually low-cost items that are produced in China get any extra parts, consequently there's genuinely no place of looking to restore a misplaced cause.
It's usually worth to purchase a high-quality RC automobile, particularly if you're planning to utilize it for a number of years. Obtain a good quality two-channel control and basic features like full suspension, oil-filled bangs, ESC and two-speed gearbox and prescribing servo. If these features miss, you can usually update your RC automobiles with Firefox exhausts and wheels.

Remembering Juneteeth
On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas, with a regiment of Union soldiers.
He had a message for the residents of that rebellious state.
In General Order Number 3, Granger wrote:
"The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor."
As word of the order spread, as the juneteenth.com website describes it, "the reactions to this profound news ranged from pure shock to immediate jubilation." That expression of jubilation is widely considered to be the first celebration commemorating the end of slavery in this country.
On Saturday, hundreds of Durhamites gathered to note the holiday in an event Phyllis Coley has been organizing for 10 years. Juneteenth, she said, "is all about understanding the significance of this day." She noted its particular significance in Durham, where the largest contingent of Confederate troops surrendered to Union soldiers more than two weeks after Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses Grant at Appomattox.
The news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas, of course, two-and-a-half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the landmark order freeing slaves in the Confederate states. Historians have speculated on the reasons for the delay – one story has it that a messenger carrying the news to Texas was slain.
Whatever the reason, the delay was a harbinger of the egregious postponement for a century or more before the shackles of legal discrimination against African-Americans were fully lifted. It was a century of cruelty, mistreatment and subordination of those freed slaves and their defendants.
As President Barack Obama put it this month in a proclamation, "Juneteenth marked an important moment in the life of our nation. But it was only the beginning of a long and difficult struggle for equal rights and equal treatment under the law."
As that struggle passes further into history and those who led it pass from the scene, celebrations such as Juneteenth become even more important as moments to recall what we must not repeat. Indeed, the civil rights movement rekindled interest in celebrations of the day, which had declined through the years.
Coley wants not just to remember how ugly slavery was, but to inform our modern understanding.
"We cannot change history," she said Saturday. "It is what it is. So let's recognize it, and understand it, and move forward so we don't repeat it."
Next year will mark the 150th anniversary of General Granger's order. Perhaps that would be a great time for this community to undertake the largest Juneteenth celebration yet. Lest we forget.

Monta Ellis scored 22 points and the Dallas Mavericks matched a season high with their fourth consecutive victory, 103-81 over the last-place Utah Jazz on Friday night.
All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki had 20 points while playing only 26½ minutes for the Mavericks, who moved a season-best nine games over. 500 at 30-21. It is only the second time they have been that far above the break-even mark since their 2010-11 NBA championship season.
Even with Utah at full strength, putting its best lineup on the floor and Marvin Williams making four 3-pointers in the game's first 6 minutes, the Jazz lost their fourth game in a row.

News Section: National Government
Supreme Court Sides With Hobby Lobby on Contraception Mandate in 5-4 Decision
BRADENTON — On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled that requiring family-owned corporations to pay for insurance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act violated a federal law protecting religious freedom.
In a 5-to-4 ruling, the deeply-divided court ruled that the two companies owned by Christian families that had brought the suit – Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties – were protected by a federal religious-freedom law applied to "closely held" for-profit corporations run on religious principles. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion.
Constitutional law experts say the ruling could open a wide door for challenges from other corporations regarding laws they may claim violate their religious freedom.
In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the court had for the first time extended religious-freedom protections to "the commercial, profit-making world."
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that "The court's expansive notion of corporate personhood invites for-profit entities to seek religion-based exemptions from regulations they deem offensive to their faiths."
Hobby Lobby Case Could Open Big Can of Worms

Dirt track racing will be in the spotlight tonight as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races the Midsummer Classic at Eldora (Ohio) Speedway.
It will be the first time in nearly 43 years a NASCAR national series has raced on dirt. Fitting with the 43 number, it was Richard Petty, who won the last NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on dirt. Petty beat Neil "Soapy" Castles by two laps to win the Home State 200 at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh on Sept. 30, 1970. Bobby Isaac, the series champion for that season, finished third, some five laps down.
It was the third straight win for Petty, who had won the tour's previous two races at Richmond and Dover.
Overall, Petty won 30 races on dirt tracks. The record for most dirt-track wins in the Cup Series, coincidentally the number 43, was actually held by Richard's father Lee Petty.
Much like a race with road course ringers, some of the top dirt-track drivers across the country are entered in tonight's race at the Tony Stewart-owned track. Most notable is Mooresburg's Scott Bloomquist, who is a six-time winner of The Dream at Eldora, one of the country's premier dirt late model races.
Other notables in the field include Sprint Cup veterans Ryan Newman, Dave Blaney, Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace.
On the local front, a trio of Washington County racers were among the top finishers at Volunteer Speedway's 4/10-mile dirt oval a week ago Tuesday.
Jerry Broyles of Jonesborough finished third , but, his No. 72 was just a tick behind the top two cars of Chris Chandler and John Tweed.
"I was a little off and wasn't able to keep my momentum up," Broyles said. "We had a good car, but these things are so close. We're within a tenth (of a second) from first place to 10th place. The car started coming around if I could have just had a long green-flag run, I could have got Tweed."
Behind him, Dale Ball of Johnson City and Tim Byrd of Jonesborough staged a fierce battle for fourth-place. Byrd passed Ball with two laps to go, but Ball passed him back on the final lap, although there was some contact between the two.
"When the track started drying out, it freed my car up a little," Ball said. "It was still too tight in the center and I had to drive in so hard. If you didn't catch a moist spot, you would almost spin out. It wouldn't drive through there, it would push and Byrd got under me. I got back under him and we rubbed. He got mad, but no big deal."
Byrd was aggravated following the race, running his No. 24 into Ball's No. 2 when the race ended. A few minutes later, Byrd regained his composure and explained how he was happy to finish in the top five.
"I passed him two laps to go and the caution came out," Byrd said. "Back on the restart, I got back around him. We touched a little bit in (turns) one and two, but he got me back in the end. As long as we can bring it home in the top five and put it in the trailer, I'm a happy camper."
For the second Friday in a row, the first-place finisher wasn't the winner at Kingsport Speedway.
One week ago, Chad Finchum of Knoxville was disqualified for an illegal camshaft, taking away his Late Model Stock victory. This past Friday's winner, Daniel Pope II of Smyrna, was also DQ'd for his car's trailing arm not meeting the required thickness. Lee Tissot of Asheville was awarded the win, his second of the season.
John Ketron of Kingsport, the NASCAR national points leader in his division, won the Pure 4 race. Other winners were Alan Rich in Street Stock, Kirby Gobble in Mod 4 and John Pittman in Rookie Pure 4.
Racing is scheduled to return to Kingsport Speedway on Friday night.
This weekend will mark the 20th running of the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis.
It now seems strange how open-wheel traditionalists openly argued that stock cars should not race on such hallowed ground. Two decades later, it's one of the biggest races on the Sprint Cup schedule and to many current NASCAR drivers, a win at Indianapois is as big as a win at Daytona.
Richard Childress is the only car owner to win at the Brickyard with three different drivers — Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick and Paul Menard.
He recalled winning the 1995 Brickyard 400 with Earnhardt, who had to hold off one of his fiercest rivals at the end of the 400-mile race.
"We were getting ready to leave and to go to Ruth's Chris (Steak House) to have dinner because we thought the race was going to be rained out," Childress said. "But the skies opened up. We beat Rusty (Wallace) out of the pits. Track position was everything. Dale held him off for the last 20 or so laps and won the race."
Still, the victory with Menard ranks as the best according to Childress. Menard's father, John, had entered cars in the Indianapolis 500 for nearly three decades before Paul Menard held off Jeff Gordon to win in a different kind of car at the famed speedway.
"Not taking anything away from Dale or Kevin's first win there, but that one was so special I think because of being able to win a race with
Paul, being able to win at Indy where that whole family had put so much into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway," Childress said. "John Menard played a huge role for many years. To be able to win that race with him, have his whole family there that day, it was almost like a storybook ending to a great venture in Indy for John Menard."

As if Rutgers University President Robert Barchi did not have enough to handle with the fallout from the basketball scandal, he is also facing a growing revolt on the school's Newark campus.
Rutgers-Newark faculty and students have been mobilizing in recent weeks to protest what they say is chronic underfunding of their campus in favor of the university's main campus in New Brunswick. They have been especially critical of Barchi, who has been accused of further alienating the 12,000-student Newark campus in his first few months as president by minimizing their concerns.
During an Assembly Budget Committee hearing in Newark Tuesday, Rutgers-Newark administrators and professors told lawmakers their students are getting short-changed under the current funding system.
"We've been getting so little money, and we deal with it," said Belinda Edmondson, head of Rutgers-Newark's women's and gender studies department. "We're not asking for more than our fair share. We're asking for our fair share."

What was going through his head on Shark Tank?
"Well you know, there was parts where there was tension. I thought they did such an amazing job on the edit. I was just like, "Wow!" I was blown away. It was what it should be, an inspirational piece. It didn't matter whether we got a deal or not, it was amazing all the way around. That's the way I see it."
Wrestlers using DDP Yoga:
"Well, the best example I can give you is the guy who really gave me the credibility, Chris Jericho. He had herniated his L4 when he was doing Dancing with the Stars. Even though the show was really physical, it wasn't that. It was the twenty years of wrestling he had prior to that. It was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I heard he was out and the doctor said he was done, the same thing happened to me at forty two, and now he's forty. They're saying he's done, so I sent him the video of Arthur's transformation, a disabled veteran (that was told that he would never be able to walk on his own ever again) who with DDP Yoga, lost one hundred and forty pounds in ten months and was able to walk and run on his own, gaining tremendous balance and flexibility along the way. The video has over ten million views.
I sent it to Jericho about two and a half years ago. When he saw the video, he said, "Send me whatever he did and I will do whatever you want me to do." And he followed the plan exactly the way I taught him. In five weeks, he was eighty five percent pain free. In three months, he was a hundred percent pain free. He headlined Wrestlemania two years ago in Miami, then he worked for a couple more months, then he took off and went touring with his band Fozzy for six months. And then he showed up at the Royal Rumble in January of 2013. If you're not wrestling all the time, you fly out there in the first five minutes, you'll be blown sky high. But because DDP YOGA is a kickass cardiovascular workout that dramatically increases your flexibility and strengthens your core with minimal joint impact, he was able to come back and wrestle a match because of my workout and the level that he does it. He was the number two spot in the Royal Rumble, he wrestled for forty seven minutes and fifty three seconds. He only does one workout, DDP YOGA. That's the greatest testimony I can give to you.
There's at least thirty guys who are doing it, whether it's Dustin Rhodes or Ryback or Sandow, there's a bunch of 'em that are doing the workout. All the young kids are doing it, the guys that are coming up trying to get their break in the WWE Performance Center down there. So it's pretty much across the board right now."
Working with Heath Slater for RAW 1000:
"I thought it was awesome. I love the kid. He was having the time of his life because he was a fan of all of us. So he couldn't wait for the Vader Bomb or the Diamond Cutter. I mean he loved it. And he's a good kid, he's a damn good worker. I hope at some point he actually gets the push. He could back it up because he can talk and he can work."
Fans chanting for CM Punk and Daniel Bryan during segments:
"I love it. (laughs) In a very different way, that's what happened for me. The bookers weren't doing s--t with me. If you look at 1996, I work with Eddy, we had amazing matches together. But I also worked enhancement matches because that was most of the s--t they gave me. The crowd though, watch a video called Diamond Cutters on Everyone. Just watch that video. It's about four minutes long. And watch the people pop when I hit the Diamond Cutter and they pop a little more, a little more, and then a lot more, then a really lot more, then a f--kin' crazy lot more. Ten thousand people in the building would jump to their feet because of all the ways I did the move, it came out of nowhere. You watch that video all the way through, go back and watch it, watch and see who I hit that on. Sting or Hogan or Nash? No, none of 'em. It was all enhancement guys. So the crowd was with me crazy. WCW had to do something with me. And Daniel Bryan, a couple weeks back where he ended up on top of the cage doing the "Yes!", holy s--t. To me, that's as over as I've ever seen anybody. It may be the most."
