4 FM quick reads on ADA
1. ADA: Debunking Compliance Myths
I'm Dan Hounsell, editor of Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's topic is, debunking ADA compliance myths.
The first enforceable provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for public accommodations and commercial facilities began in 1992. Since then, maintenance and engineering managers have had to remove barriers to access in all existing facilities. Readily-achievable barrier removal continues to be an ongoing obligation.
Still, for the past 20 years, thousands of ADA cases have been filed in federal courts across the United States, as well as through the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the federal agency responsible for enforcing ADA standards for facilities. What accounts for failure to comply with ADA requirements after 20 years? There are a variety of myths and misunderstandings.
• Code. Some managers believe that since a local code official has not had to do an inspection, the facility is compliant. But code officials never inspect existing facilities for accessibility. That is because building codes do not have the same provision for "readily-achievable barrier removal" as ADA. What's more, code officials are not empowered to enforce ADA.
• Costs. Some managers assume it will be too costly to comply, so they do nothing. But it is a mistake to automatically assume the costs will be too high without breaking the process down and identifying barriers that can be removed over a period of time. Also, under Internal Revenue Service code, businesses of any size can take an expense deduction of up to $15,000 per year for costs of removing barriers in facilities.
• Grandfathering. Some managers believe their buildings are grandfathered because they were built before ADA took effect. In fact, all buildings where goods or services are sold or provided have been required to comply with ADA since 1992. There is no grandfathering provision.
ADA: Successful Restroom Renovations
I'm Dan Hounsell, editor of Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's topic is, ADA and successful restroom renovations.
Restroom renovations in institutional and commercial facilities offer maintenance and engineering managers major opportunities to produce numerous benefits. Among these benefits is compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. To meet ADA requirements during renovation, managers must consider occupant count, fixture requirements, space requirements, and structural requirements.
For example, most ADA-compliance renovations result in the loss of a stall or a urinal as a result of changes to meet the 5-foot diameter requirement for stalls. If the number of existing fixtures is appropriate for the code governing the area population, the loss of a stall might require added construction costs.
Structural requirements also come into play with grab bars required in the ADA stall. Often, walls must be reinforced to accommodate the potential weight-bearing capacities of these bars.
Omitting reinforcement of existing walls when installing grab bars is problematic. For example, in one college's public restroom, the grab bar in the handicap stall was detached and hanging from the wall.
The grab bar had been installed into the wall using only mollies, which obviously could not support weight applied to the grab bar. It not only cost more money to rectify the situation at that point, but it also created a hazard and an inconvenience for the public.
ADA: Communication for Success
I'm Dan Hounsell, editor of Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's topic is, clear communication for enhanced accessibility.
The remedies for barriers to accessibility in institutional and commercial facilities might seem complex, given the systems, equipment and materials that often are involved in renovations and remodeling. But tactics for improving access outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, need not be complicated. In fact, in some cases the remedies are surprisingly straightforward and practical.
For example, involving building occupants and visitors in the planning process will result in an accessibility plan that thoroughly addresses the access needs of all involved. Among the steps managers should consider are these:
- Make the self-evaluation and transition plan available for public inspection.
- Post a policy or statement of nondiscrimination that includes members of the public and employees.
- Develop an ADA advisory committee that includes individuals with disabilities and other members of the public.
- Maintain a library of staff-development resources that can be checked out or made available, including videotapes, presentations, and audiotapes.
- Provide ADA materials and staff-development sessions for managers, administrators, supervisors, maintenance and operations staffs, and other departments as appropriate.
- Adopt or develop procedures for grievances or uniform compliance that include members of the public, recipients of services, and employees.
- Disseminate and post information regarding the organization's compliance procedures.
ADA: Avoiding Accessibility Trouble
I'm Dan Hounsell, editor of Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's topic is, avoiding ADA trouble.
For the last 20 years, thousands of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) cases have been filed in federal courts across the United States, as well as through the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the federal agency responsible for enforcing ADA standards for facilities. Most of these cases began with an issue in an existing building, where an individual with a disability or DOJ cited the facility's lack of "readily achievable barrier removal" as the primary reason for the complaint.
The following questions can help facility managers determine their level of risk for an ADA complaint from an individual or DOJ:
- Have we evaluated our facilities for ADA barriers?
- Have we been performing readily achievable barrier removal since January 1992?
- Have we ensured that modifications, alterations, additions and new construction after 1992 were comply with the 1991 standards?
- Have we ensured that the facility's accessibility features — including door closers, sidewalks, ramps, handrails, and grab bars — are maintained in working order?
- Have we been documenting all of our ADA compliance efforts?

Feed the Beast Map for Minecraft 1.4.7Minecraft Maps — January 18, 2013, 10:28 PM
The initial trailer for Feed the Beast opens with a Star Wars-esque appearance of a massive spaceship. The spaceship rolls past the camera for an exceptionally long time before finally revealing its total size.
But after the first spaceship rolls by, we see another one. This time, the ship is more massive than ever before and comes with terrain on top that players are meant to explore.
You can view the epic trailer (complete with the Inception soundtrack) right here:
Although that trailer doesn't say anything about how the map works, it basically involves players exploring a massive spacebound ship in order to complete a series of objectives that culminate in 'feeding the beast'.
This map pushes the boundaries of Minecraft mod technology and requires the use of a series of popular mods in order to work. Included in the download package are popular … Read More »

Kentucky Derby: Falling Sky has ankle chip removed
Falling Sky, who finished last in the Kentucky Derby, had surgery to remove a chip out of his left front ankle, trainer John Terranova said Wednesday.
Terranova said that "everything went beautiful" and Falling Sky could resume training in 60 days.
"We'll probably see him back in the fall," Terranova said.
Terranova also said that Swift Warrior, who scratched out of the Woodford Reserve, would most likely run back in the Dixie Stakes at Pimlico.
Terranova said Swift Warrior had tied up which led to his being scratched.
A comment was posted after an article was written that the owners of Falling Sky had decided to run in the Ky. Derby that lamented their decision and hoped that they did not ruin him. He was the biggest price in the race and the prophetic poster's favorite to run last. For some, Orb, the race favorite to win, and Falling Sky the favorite to run last, resulted in a chalky result at both ends.
Another trainer/owners connections forcing their horse and now they hurt him. Take a page from the Shug book! Of course you probably don't know how to read!

December 2012. A Christmas Update. There's bad news, but good news too!
Posted by agent00kevin on Dec 17th, 2012
December 18, 2012
Well folks, we've had a minor setback.
Last week, I finally upgraded my Operating System to Windows 7 64 bit. It was a long overdue upgrade. I had been running Vista 32 bit since 2007, upgrading to Ultimate in 2009 to get Remote Desktop Connection for monitoring my Far Cry 2 Servers. Finally fed up with it and needing to install a up-to-date OS on my 'new' rig I built last year, I went to W7.
Unfortunately, it messed up a few of our maps badly. Others were just slightly affected. All of the model entities in the SDK have changed to 'obselete'. This will require me to go back and place every single model in the map again - a daunting task. Other maps, mainly the Lab Maps, have been pushed partially off the grid, essentially destroying them in the process. Sections of them remain; however all of the models are gone and so much of the level geometry is gone that it would be wise to simply start over.
I have loaded backups and every map, regardless of date saved, is the same. At very least all of the entities, from models to NPCs to trigger mechanisms, are gone. At its worst, the levels look like a jigsaw puzzle, with seemingly random chunks of geometry totally gone.
Many people might view this as a tipping point and give it up. However, that is not what I plan to do. I view this as a blessing in disguise. I have learned so very much in my time with the SDK that we can only improve from here. Most of the level design I had completed was old, from my earliest days using the SDK. New ideas and techniques were shoehorned into old design theories and SDK techniques. This resulted in a functionl clusterf**k of level design and construction. There was also a lot of sloppy work left over from the beginnings of NovaCor. Heavy optimization made it unnoticeable during testing, but nonetheless, it was there.
NovaCor is far from dead, and will not die. All of our work will be backed up as always, and with no further OS upgrades in sight, only some game-breaking SDK update would be catastrophic. We will vastly improve our design, construction, and story. Work has already begun on more advanced maps and overall design. All of our old textures remain. All of the old models remain. All that is needed is to continue construction again. And I am already doing so.
What would be a death blow to many mods is simply a blessing in disguise. With all that Ive learned, being forced to start over with the maps is actually a great thing. We will come back bigger and better than ever.
I guarantee it.
Thank you all for your patience with NovaCor, and hopefully you continue to have interest in the Mod. I will post an update soon regarding the redesigned maps, and with any luck, Ill have some screenshots too!
YAY! Glad to hear you aren't giving up. Keep at it, looking forward to see the final product. (:
i really am amazed to read that simply changing your OS does all that harm to your maps, i can't understand why this should happen.
but i believe you when you say it did happen.
and you are right, this would mean a death blow to most other mods. in my opinion nearly all modders do kill there own mod way to fast, but that is just me.
and you are right, you will have learned a whole lot, so reparing and rebuilding most maps will make them better. from own experience i know that when you have to make a mappart for the second time this always is much easier, and for sure much quicker then it was the first time. although it is quit boring to do so, but that is another thing. personaly i rather create new maps as rebuilding old ones.
much succes with this!
I agree; I had no idea changing my OS would do it. It may have happened when I copied the old Hard Drive to the new one; I dont know. Nothing else seems corrupted though.
Im actually excited to rebuild :) I spent last night pulling chunks of the old maps out and putting them into 'new' maps, cleaning up the brushes and optimizing a lot better than before. I was surprised at just how sloppy and wasteful it was once I started digging into things.
Things will indeed go much quicker now, especially since a lot of my time was spent making models and textures. I dont have to do all that now, though obviously there will still be some new models and textures to do.
Im really hoping to get some new screens of the rebuild up by Jan 1 2013. I go on vacation at the end of this week, so its a pretty good chance that it will happen!
I'm glad for you and also because you are determined to keep up going unlike what many else would have done.
You have my hopes for this mod.
Great attitude! I have really enjoyed seeing your work in progress and look forward to the end product!!
Check out my mods:
The Mutant Factor for Crysis and Crysis Wars
The Mutant Factor for Crysis 2
Glad to hear this. I'll keep following your mod.
That's... sad. You were doing so well with your progress and now you've been set back a long time. I know you'll pick yourself back up though, and your maps are going to look even better when they are rebuilt.
Happened to me in August '11. I know exactly what it feels like to have everything just *BOOP* gone. The loyal trackers you have will be your motivator to make something even better. Everything will be okay, man.
Yeah, Im reworking the layout and some of the aesthetics. Its looking better than before so far :)
Hey no worries this stuff happens you everyone needs to take some downtime and then things sorted out.
good to hear you're going to soldier on! Still tracking.

A recent furniture commercial features a 1989 Queen song that repeats the refrain "I want it all" three times followed by, "and I want it now."
This message not only apparently sells couches but also evokes the spirit of the American psyche and could be part of the reason why so much frustration and disappointment is associated with the nation's financial services policy.
Policymakers at once want banks to help promote economic recovery by financing business and consumer loans, while also fixing their underlying problems, like overleveraging and poor underwriting that helped fuel the financial bust the country cannot seem to crawl out of.
But directives to lend more and shore up are running into tension. Critics are questioning whether these are mutually exclusive goals that need to be reprioritized, or if both policy leaders and bankers simply need to recalibrate their expectations for growth and mending.
In the "economy should come first" camp are bankers who argue potential growth is being stymied by the onslaught of regulations, like higher capital standards and increased legal risk stemming from efforts to settle claims from faulty mortgages. Regulators, on the other hand, contend that fixing fundamentals first will help rebuild confidence and put the economy back on sounder footing with sustainable investments.
The latest battle came on Wednesday with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, an international body of regulators that sets banking standards, announcing it had agreed to require the world's largest and most systemically significant institutions to hold additional capital buffers of between 1 percent and 2.5 percent, or roughly $200 billion, depending on a bank's systemic importance.
It comes on top of another requirement known as Basel 3 that banks hold capital equal to 7 percent of risk-weighted assets, and the two are slated to be phased in between 2013 and 2019.
The capital surcharges would apply to some 28 unidentified institutions internationally and is expected to include at least Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, in the United States. Banks that fail to comply could be hit with an additional 1 percent surcharge. But each member nation takes its own approach to adopting Basel accords, timetables often slip, and the U.S. would go through its own comment and review process first.
The banking industry has loudly criticized such surcharges as counterproductive to economic growth. JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon called the capital buffers "anti-American" earlier this month and challenged Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke in June by asking if the "cumulative effect" of regulations could be why "it's taking so long for credit and jobs to come back?"
The Clearing House, the nation's oldest association of banks, complained about the pending capital surcharges in a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner this week, saying they would decrease the banking industry's return on equity by 4.9 percentage points and could increase borrowing costs to consumers by 60 basis points.
"These costs can be expected to dampen prospects for economic and job growth," wrote Paul Saltzman, the president and general counsel for the group.
Analysts said the move is intended to make it less attractive to be a mega-sized global interconnected institution, and could ultimately force banks to shrink.
Still, many argued that capital is not what is putting a damper on lending right now.
Sheila Bair, a senior adviser at Pew Charitable Trusts, who stepped down as chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in June, told National Journal that most big U.S. banks are at, or near, targeted capital levels, and have plenty of time to phase in additional requirements.
She said banks are sitting on piles of cash and are more constrained by risk aversion and decreased borrower demand than they are by capital.
"The impact on credit availability and credit costs is really overstated. The system is awash with liquidity right now.... I don't think that higher capital is going to have any kind of a significant impact on economic recovery."
It is true that it increases banks' costs to hold more capital but they can use that money as leverage to provide loans and fund other activities.

Background Note: The Hauge Synod, the most numerous Norwegian pietistic group, separated from the "Eielsen Synod" in 1876. Named for the evangelical lay preacher and religious reformer of 18th and 19th century Norway, Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), the group de-emphasized formal worship and stressed personal faith experience. Reflecting a "low-church" Lutheranism, the Hauge Synod records revolve around domestic and international missions activities and annual reports, featuring a highly informative scrapbook of the Mission Dove, the womens' auxiliary of the mission effort.
In 1917 merged with the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, founded in 1890, and the Synod of the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded in 1823, to form the the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Division for Global Mission.

Meet the Mamas: Keepers of Polynesian Culture
I loved mingling with the beloved Mamas through out the Islands of Tahiti. It was fascinating learning about their rich Polynesian culture, ancient traditions and tasting exotic food. So, you ask, "Just who are the Mamas and what makes them so special?" These highly respected matriarchs and wise elders are the keepers of Polynesian culture […] [Read More]

Ortega y Gasset
To the Editor:
I was most heartily pleased with Richard John Neuhaus's informed consideration of Ortega y Gasset ["Ortega y Gasset Revisited," July]. His references to Julien Benda's The Treason of the Intellectuals are very discerning. I, we, are in Mr. Neuhaus's intellectual debt. Mass man and mass cant are on the loose here in Nicaragua. . . .
[Signature Withheld]
Managua, Nicaragua
To the Editor:
In "Ortega y Gasset Revisited," Richard John Neuhaus writes that "Mass man is not the proletariat but the people of all classes, especially the ruling classes. . . ." This is an important point. A primary criticism of The Revolt of the Masses has always been that Ortega despised democracy and the "common man" and was a champion of aristocracy. In fact, Ortega viewed the aristocrat as the progenitor of "mass man." Ortega wrote that "his [the aristocrat's] characteristic traits, in all times and among all peoples, germinate in the mass man." Prominent among these traits are the aristocrat's "propensity to make out of games and sports the central occupation of his life; the cult of the body—hygienic regime and attention to dress; lack of romance in his dealings with women; his amusing himself with the 'intellectual,' while at bottom despising him. . . ."
Ortega thought true nobility a far more prevalent trait in the "common man" than among elites: "[I]t is not rare to find today among workingmen . . . nobly disciplined minds." However, he found "nobly disciplined minds" exceedingly rare among social elites and in intellectual life. He saw social elites dominated by "the mass and the vulgar," and "in the intellectual life . . . one can note the progressive triumph of the pseudo-intellectual, unqualified, unqualifiable, and, by [his] very mental texture, disqualified."
The Revolt of the Masses was published over a half-century ago, and if intellectual life was replete with the "pseudo-intellectual" in 1930, one can scarcely imagine what Ortega would have written had he lived to see the 1960's and all that decade has left in its wake.
James E. Salyers
Ashmore, Illinois
To the Editor:
. . . It is with particular pleasure that I commend Richard John Neuhaus for his insightful discussion of the new translation of The Revolt of the Masses by Ortega y Gasset. It can serve as a paragon of the reviewing art.

Chasing Pedestrians
Its the young ones youre never quite sure about.
When it comes to bands, young is either a very good thing or not good at all. Theres a tightrope maneuver that must be handled, usually unknowingly, with unusual grace, one that balances the creative risks and reckless passion so abundant in youth and the technical and business eloquence.
But when the opposing sides stabilize, genres are changed, stars are born, legendary moments of I was there when ... are formed, and we see what music was meant to be all along.
Charlotte-based sextet Chasing Pedestrians seems to be that rare find we wait for, the diamond in the rough that we hope to see polished and prominent one day.
The band has been quietly building a following around Charlotte over the past few years, mainly gaining steam through word of mouth and frequent local shows.
Michaela Amato fulfills her role as front woman with a natural comfort, drawing on influences honestly and boldly making them part of herself. Vocally, Amato resides somewhere between the confidence, eccentricities and broodiness of Bjork, the sweet and playful spirit of Lisa Hannigan, and the indie-laced folk styling from Of Monsters and Mens Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir.
The rest of the band backs up Amato responsibly, offering room for experimentation and movement without competing for the audiences attention.
Chasing Pedestrians appears to be a band finding its stride and gaining a sense of where it belongs in the grand scheme of things.
Charging into the new year behind songs such as Summer Song and Cant Tie Down that already have been crowd-pleasers, the future seems to be bright for the young six-piece band.
Chasing Pedestrians will perform Friday at the Music Farm, 32 Ann St., with The Makeshift, Grown Up Avenger Stuff, Don Merckle and The Blacksmiths. Tickets are $8 at the door or online at etix.com. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
Call 577-6969 or go to musicfarm.com.
Everyone Orchestra
Matt Butler was listening to an open-mike session from international participants while on vacation in India one night when an idea so large hit him that he made it his mission to fulfill. Today, he has made that idea an 11-year reality that has grown in popularity year after year.
Butler was a San Francisco-based multi-instrumentalist and former drummer of the band Jambay looking for something he could achieve through music that could make a difference in the world.
He began hosting open-mike nights around San Francisco in which he encouraged participants with varied styles and led improvised song creations himself.
Eventually, Butler took the idea on the road, raising money for charities along the way. He enlists a revolving cast of well-known musicians to perform while he continues conducting on-the-spot performances.
Butler also likes to involve the audience by using them as a collective instrument in the form of clapping, singing, cheering and more.
The Everyone Orchestra will perform Friday and Saturday night at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway.
For the groups Charleston performances, the lineup will include Andy Farag and Ryan Stasik (Umphreys McGee), Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Roosevelt Collier (The Lee Boys), Jeff Sipe (Jimmy Herring Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Phil Lesh and Friends), Jeff Coffin and the Mutet, Leftover Salmon and Jason Lefty Williams (Friday night only) and Wallace Mullinax (Saturday night only).
Tickets are $15 in advance, $18 the day of the show and are available at the door or online at etix.com. Doors open at 9 p.m.
Call 571-4343 or go to www.charlestonpourhouse.com.

Council approves controversial Bicycle Apartments
On Wednesday, more than 30 residents went before the council to offer opinions about the merits of the controversial Bicycle Apartments planned for 602 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
And while the residents who spoke were divided in their support of the project, the council granted developer Trinitas Ventures a rezoning and special-use permit to move forward with the student-oriented housing project.
Trinitas plans to demolish 74 residential units in three two-story apartments and replace them with four six-story apartments with 194 student-oriented rental units containing more than 600 bedrooms.
Residents in the Franklin-Rosemary Historic District and other nearby neighborhoods have voiced concerns about noise, traffic and crime as a result of the project they said is too tall and too dense for the location.
Meanwhile, supporters touted revenue from additional property taxes the town will collect as a result of the redevelopment of the property, the economic benefit of having students near downtown and a need for more student-housing to relieve the pressure of an influx of students into neighborhoods such as the historically black Northside neighborhood.
But residents opposing the project, citing anemic enrollment growth at UNC, weren't buying the argument that the town is in desperate need of more student housing.
"We do not have a housing crisis for undergraduates," said Hodding Carter, University Professor of Leadership and Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill who lives near the project. "It's utter, total baloney. Go ask again if you don't know this."
Carter also said the university is facing deep cuts in state funding, which will further hamper its ability to grow.
"Thanks to this wonderful legislature and governor we have, they're getting ready to cut our budget in Chapel Hill by 9 or 10 percent, specifically Chapel Hill," Carter said. "We're not going to be having overwhelming pressures out of Chapel Hill. We'll be lucky if we're being sustained in ways we believed we're entitled to by what it is the state is doing through Chapel Hill."
Sallie Shuping-Russell, a member of the UNC Board of Trustees who lives near the project on Rosemary Street, also spoke out against it, saying she was concerned about its scale and student safety.
Shuping-Russell, noting that she spoke as a private citizen, also said earlier that UNC system growth projections at the university didn't materialize due to the recession.
"I don't think there's an assumption of any significant growth over the next 10 years," Shuping-Russell said,
But even if the university doesn't grow, Councilman Jim Ward said the town is already struggling to meet the demand for student housing.
"If UNC doesn't grow a bit …we still have a serious student housing problem in our community," Ward said. "I am very supportive of this student housing by design that we've got in front of us right now."
Aaron Nelson, president and CEO of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce agreed, contending that the larger threat to the town is to not allow the development of student housing to accommodate the 300 students a year the university has been adding over the past decade.
"Over the two years it will take to build this project, 600 students may join our community," Nelson said. "Let's say we're off and only 300 students join our community, where do they live?"
He said that currently, students who decided to live off campus are doing so in Durham and will likely move to northern Chatham if apartments are eventually built there near town limits.
"Or, we can convert more single-family residences," Nelson said. "We'd have to convert 100 more single family residences to accommodate these 300 students."
The Bicycle Apartments will offer limited parking and residents will be encouraged to bike, walk or use public transportation.
Shuping-Russell said she doesn't think the project will appeal to students, noting that students move off campus for independence, but also to bring their cars to school.
"I feel very strongly that students aren't going to want to pay $600 or more and not be able to have their cars here," Shuping-Russell said.
The developer made several concessions in response to concerns expressed by council members and residents at last month's public hearing.
They included shifting the building to the west on the 9-acre site to increase the distance between it and the property line by a half-acre, removing balconies from the side closest to the historic district, bumping its payment in lieu to the town's affordable housing fund to $120,000 and donating $50,000 to Chapel Hill Transit for transportation improvements.
The council unanimously approved the rezoning in a 7-0 vote. The special-use permit was approved on a 6-1 vote, with Councilman Ed Harrison voting against it.
Council members Matt Czajkowski and Laurin Easthom were absent from Wednesday's council meeting.

In the 1970s, after twice being denied admission to medical school at U.C. Davis, Allan Bakke sued the University of California over its admissions policies. A white male, Bakke charged the university with reverse racial discrimination. His suit went to the Supreme Court, where it became a landmark split decision that, while upholding affirmative action as legal, ordered that Bakke be admitted to Davis. The case helped galvanize the movement against affirmative action.
Gov. Jerry Brown considers signing a landmark bill that would extend state financial aid to illegal immigrants. At a time of skyrocketing demand for assistance, that makes some legal students anxious.
A Facebook post announcing plans by a UC Berkeley Republican group to sell baked goods priced according to race, gender and ethnicity - "White/Caucasian" pastries for $2 and "Black/African American" pastries for 75 cents, for example - has drawn outrage on campus.
Current student body is campus' most diverse ever, officials say
New legislation, aggressive recruiting among reasons for new record
A student who was denied admission to the University of Texas has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the university's consideration of race in undergraduate admission decisions.
UW-Madison waged an all-day offensive Tuesday against a charge that it engages in discriminatory admissions practices — as students and staff rallied on Bascom Hill, hijacked a press conference and disputed the findings of the admissions allegation.
The 2010 U.S. census counted 50.5 million Hispanics, up from 35.3 million in 2000. The population will triple in size and account for most of the country's population growth through 2050, according to projections from the Pew Hispanic Center.
In 2006, Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved Proposal 2, ending state-sponsored discrimination via race-based preferences in college admissions, hiring, and contracting. But a recent federal court ruling has temporarily overturned the will of Michigan voters, opening the door for affirmative action's return to Michigan.

Canelo will be easy work for Mayweather, but at least he has the look to be a "galan" in a soap opera in Mexico. I talk thrash but I'm willing to back it up against anybody and anyone.Posted June 1, 2013 1:03 am
Trout "admited" his defeat because he wanted to get out alive, remember his fiancee and daughter were in thee crowd. Like I say I talk trash but I bach it up baby.Posted June 1, 2013 12:59 am
I agree with the article, Canelo didn't beat Trout, Trout outboxed and outlanded Canelo. But I'll give it to Canelo caused he landed a knockdown and the harder punches. But if you consider ring generalship and other aspects of boxing I think Trout should have won. But in Texas you have to literally carry a baseball bat and knock out a mexican to get the victory, you can't leave it in the judges hands, if you don't believe me ask Paul E Malignatti in his first fight with Juan "baby bull" Diaz in Houston. I know I talk a lot of trash but i back it up baby I back it up.Posted June 1, 2013 12:57 am

I don't find Canelo's victory the least bit disappointing. He was fighting a highly skilled, fast, big, and smart opponent. Canelo showed true grit, and his defensive slipping was brilliant. He was making a very accurate Trout miss. As for the later rounds, I predicted that they would be where Canelo would fade and Trout take control, but instead the opposite happened. Canelo took some rounds off here and there, but all fighters do when they realize they might be going the distance. I was impressed by the redheaded Mexican. I was also impressed with Trout, but Saturday belonged to Canelo. Even Trout admits that.Posted April 22, 2013 11:46 am

Gussie Finknottle
No way was this dissapointing….I've just watched the fight with no sound. I think they both fought brilliantly. When you've got 2 great boxers in their prime you will get a good close fight. I scored the fight to Alvarez by 2 rounds. His puncehes had more impact and Trouts punches were not accurate enough to win the rounds with their cumulative effect.
After reading some of the earlier articles I was expecting to see a robbery. I think ESB needs to review who they let write articles on this page.Posted April 21, 2013 10:21 am
"Canelo who scored the most dramatic and memorable shots throughout the entire fight." See, this is why Canelo won the fight. Not robbery, not crooked judges. What did Trout do that was dramatic and memorable? He got knocked down and wobbled on several other occasions. Trout was busy, busy, busy, and ineffective, ineffective, ineffective. Meanwhile, Canelo really needs to work on his stamina or he'll ending up knocking himself out against the next top level opponent that he fights.Posted April 21, 2013 9:42 am
"He ALREADY knew he won!" I also thought Alvarez was disrespectful, but already knowing that he won is not Canelo's fault. I just don't like open-scoring. Not at all.Posted April 21, 2013 9:36 am

Canelo's strongest round was probably the 11th, in which he had Trout in some trouble. Hardly the sign of stamina issues. His lower punch output in some of the later rounds was more the result of knowing he was comfortably ahead than an inability to throw.
Trout's comments after the fight should put to rest any thoughts of robbery. His fans should show the same class as the fighter and recognise that there's no shame in being beaten by a good fighter in a very good fight.Posted April 21, 2013 6:28 am
i have it 114-113 for trout – canelo was not enought busy to win the fight – open scoring is terrible for boxing and i have to agree with the writer comments – seems canelo has huge stamina issuePosted April 21, 2013 6:17 am

No problem. Mayweather will get Canelo and will beat him silly.Posted April 21, 2013 4:30 am
….It was so blatant the disrespect seeing Canelo drape the belts around his body BEFORE the results were read!! He ALREADY knew he won! Canelo fought like a relaxed, tired, overconfident albeit defensive wizard, knowing VERY EARLY ON the fight would be his!!! A REMATCH is in ORDER – FAR AWAY from that huge Texas dome!! Then we wont see that overly relaxed version of a 22yr old fighter that claims to be hungry. His hunger wouldve been satisfied with 3 grapes and a chicken nugget the way he fought and missed with those wild amateurish caveman shots. The boxing public was treated to foolishness tonight. One of the worst fights ever. Now I wanna see that little fake upstart EXPOSED!! WOW, Draping the belts over his body BEFORE the results were read….he should at least have faked not knowing; like he FAKED hunger BEFORE the fight with all this fake REVENGE talk!!!Posted April 21, 2013 3:55 am
Boxtra u need to update the winners list, oh I mean Fred Cass update ur list I picked Canelo to winPosted April 21, 2013 3:45 am
Boxtra is Fred Cass, Boxtra is a joke, like I said after the Nonito Rigo fight, this Fred Cass guy suddenly shows up an puts Boxtra on the winners list. Everyone knew he picked Nonito now he is putting Boxtra again on the winners list when we all know he picked Trout. Boxtra just can't take all his losses piling up, he is the worst fight prohet ever born.Posted April 21, 2013 3:45 am

Prof Konjw – Trout wins Alvarez hypePosted April 21, 2013 3:42 am
Trout was the ineffective agressor, to timid and out of shape to mount any successful offence, I think the judge who had 115 to 112 for canelo had the score about right. 118 to 109 though was a joke of a score, I though trout won 5 rounds. If trout trained like this was the fight of his life he might of been able pull it off. Canelo, I haven't seen to much of him but he looks like he is their to be had after 6 rounds, a fighter with good stamina like martinez would bury about 120 punches on him for couple rounds and canelo be lucky if he would survive that. It's a learning experience for both fighters, so they both need to go back to the drawing board because both fighters looked they need inprovement.Posted April 21, 2013 3:39 am
Canelo reminds me of berto, looks stellar against above average competition but when he fights the real superstars he will get his ars handed to him. He's the next big hype job like cotto was, they know he can beat many of the fighters which makes him a cash cow but he needs to reach another level if he wants to hold on to those belts for long.Posted April 21, 2013 3:33 am
Scoring the fight in favor of Strout is completely out of this world. The first rounds were really closed, but Strout got knocked down, then Strout tried to attack but was completelty unsuccesful, you can not win just by jabbing, and he received lots of counter punches (especially right crosspunches and uppercuts) thru almost every round. Of course agree with that obscene 8 or 9 points given by one judge, but having Strout winning the fight?, Even Trout admitted his loss.Posted April 21, 2013 3:33 am
I'd like to see canelo fight Martinez next because I would be watching canelo get a broken nose, eyes swelled shut and knocked out. Mayweather would box him and make him his beotch for 12 rounds. Trout was to weak and not in good enough condition to execute his plan effectively but mayweather or martinez would be, he fights either of them he loses. Credit to canelo for steping up but can he get in better condition to fight a mayweather or martinez? I don't see it, canelo fights in sperts and doesn't have to much after 6 rounds is what I see.Posted April 21, 2013 3:31 am
The Mad Scientist
Who's next..?Posted April 21, 2013 3:21 am
Trout would have been strung up on a pull if he wasn't humble, the crowd was very disrespectful during the interview to boo trout. The fight was very close and the one judge was so far off he shouldn't be judging. The other two were at least in the ball park. Trout had the right plan and that was stay away from the power of canelo but he should have moved in on canelo more when he tired. Canelo looked like martinez and mayweather would not only win but probably knock him out. Canelo is young but he didn't look to hungry tonight, if it were mayweather or martinez in that ring he would have never made it to the 12th. Seems some of canelo hometown fans made it here to hype up there fighter. Canelo just proved the A level fighters would beat him if he showed up to fight like he did tonight.Posted April 21, 2013 3:19 am
I'm not sure what was up with Canelo I think his stamina is not good at his young age just yet. If it was he knocks Trout out, there was a couple times Canelo landed some bombs on Trout but didn't follow up. Pretty impressed by the defense though I started laughing at one point of how many shots Trout was missing.Posted April 21, 2013 3:18 am

The writer is right. Trout won the fight. Hometown decision.Posted April 21, 2013 3:12 am
"He was better than me," Trout said. "I have no excuses. He was quicker, stronger, he was the better man. I accept my defeat humbly and promise I'll be back.Posted April 21, 2013 3:00 am
The Truth
Hahahaha so Boxtra loses again. That's 3 big fights he was wrong. Rios…WRONG!!! Donaire…WRONG!!! Trout…WRONG!!! I bet Mayweather is worried because the Boxtra kiss of death has picked him too.Posted April 21, 2013 2:31 am
Trout is taking the high road and simply being humble about the situation. He doesnt seem the type to delve into crying over spilt milk, even if it happens to be a truckload. When you see him again, after he watches the fight again, he may may most certainly change his tune for all to hear. Trout looked HORRIBLE missing so much, but he was the aggressor. Canelo was relaxed the 2nd half of the fight because he already knew the bias judges lopsided results!! Canelo was more crisp and decisive with his GREAT defensive head movement, but he got caught more, with a wack connection rate of his own! Again, what a corny championship fight, it might as well had been Richie Cunningham vs Arthur Fonzarelli the way this fight was sooo disappointing. Anyway, Garcia vs Judah should be waaay better than this, even when Judah eventually loses.Posted April 21, 2013 2:29 am
te tumbo
Canelo simply pulled the rug out from under Trout. he demonstrated the superior skills in virtually every aspect but particularly defense. i don't think Trout landed a single flush shot(?) and frequently missed in bunches of 4-6. conversely, Canelo was scoring solid rights and uppercuts throughout the fight; Decked Trout with a beautiful 1-2; and regularly stung and buckled him throughout the bout. nonetheless, Trout was slick and big, which only highlighted Canelo's deliberate profile and skills. i thought he could've and should've ended it earlier with a final rush but instead he assumed the poised and restrained posture he's known for. anyway, Trout's performance never threatened to break away from Canelo who scored the most dramatic and memorable shots throughout the entire fight.Posted April 21, 2013 2:25 am
LOOKS LIKE CANELO FISHED HIMSELF A TROUT ,EASY WIN FOR CANELO ,JUST NEEDS TO IMPROVE HIS STAMINA,GREAT FIGHT OVERAL.Posted April 21, 2013 2:23 am
I told everyone that Canelo would beat Trout by late stoppage or UD. Next up to lose is Floyd Mayweather. Guerrero will pull off the upset.Posted April 21, 2013 2:07 am
I see all the sore loser's told you fools Canelo would end the Trout hypePosted April 21, 2013 2:00 am
I only gave Canelo 3 rounds, I guess that's enough in TexasPosted April 21, 2013 1:51 am
I wouldve at least given the fight a draw. They both looked bad, but Trout was the busier of the two landing more shots. Trout kept missing badly against skillful head movement, but Canelo was missing a whole lot as well not trying to close the gap successfully. They both landed good shots with Canelo landing the knockdown which didnt mean much since Trout eventually pressured Canelo the rest of the round, with Canelo unable to capitalize. This was one of the most lackluster boring championship fights Ive ever seen. If Trout was Canelo and vice versa, the judges wouldve given the fight to Canelo on pure aggression; even though he missed so much. Tomato Can was right the judges would most likely be swayed by Canelos love by the adoring fans and commentating…..what a corny boring fight!!!….Trout couldve easily been awarded the decision!!Posted April 21, 2013 1:50 am
I picked Trout to win; and I still stand by that. This is bad for boxing. They are just setting Canelo up to be the next hot thing. I sincerely hope they do feed him to Floyd Mayweather!!!!!!Posted April 21, 2013 1:46 am
Ya tu sabe
I agree canelo was lazy, and unwilling to engage in the fight but he was landing the harder punches. Trout was missing too much, it looked like canelo was just toying with him

More in Anger by J. Jill RobinsonFiction Monday, June 18th, 2012
About More in Anger
Just as blue eyes or a birthmark may be passed down through the generations, so too are other, far less welcome traits.
In a narrative triptych More in Anger is the poignant story of three generations of women—Opal, Pearl and Vivien—and the emotional legacy of anger that follows each of them.
In 1915 Opal King marries a man whose past is steeped in anger. Her husband's temper and Opal's thwarted dreams reverberate through the life of their elder daughter Pearl. As a child, Pearl mistreats her younger sister, and as an adult she mistreats her husband and daughters, even as she struggles to redeem herself. The youngest of these daughters, Vivien, strives to break free of the familial pattern before she too passes the damage on to her own daughter.
In the Mayfield family, relationship are not only formative, they are turbulent and destructive. More in Anger is a moving novel that examines the delicate relationships between mothers and daughters. J. Jill Robinson explores the inner lives of three women as they try to overcome the emotional obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness.
Author Note
What fed my desire, what pushed me, year after year—for around a decade—to struggle to figure out how to tell this story?
Well, there were a number of things going on in my life as the project began to unfold. Although I had always been somewhat interested in family history, I began to think a lot more about past and future generations when I was in my late thirties and early forties. My son Emmett was born the year I turned forty. My mother and then my father died and my sisters and I dismantled our mother's house, and our father's house. We cleared out every drawer and cupboard and closet and shed and divvied up all their possessions. We chose, in a sense, a lot of what we inherited.
But sometimes, I got to thinking, we have no choice, and sometimes what we inherit is not welcome at all. I began to think about what could happen when what one inherited was anger, not a trinket or curly hair, and I came to realize that in my writing I wanted to explore what happens when that anger is what is passed along through generations. And I thought long and hard about how anger affects not only the angry person herself—yes, in my novel, it's mostly the women who are angry–at themselves, at their parents, at life itself—but also the people around them—husbands; children. And what happens as those children grow up?
Much, perhaps most of my short story writing begins in autobiography, and that is true with this novel, as well. The main characters resemble, in some ways, people I know–my grandmother, my mother, and me. Almost always as I write there comes a point where the narrative won't work if I stay too married to "what really happened" and what people "were really like." I find that the narrative needs, in fact has to, leave "what really happened" and take flight into the realm of fiction. So while my own life and experiences may in some ways inform the novel, the novel is, finally, without question, fiction.
What are some of the themes in More In Anger? Loss, abandonment. Generation and regeneration. And women's rights—they, too, loom over the book. What and who women have been permitted and not permitted to become of course profoundly affects how they feel about themselves, how they are valued in the eyes of others, and in turn how they treat others—children, spouses, siblings.

Praise for More in Anger
~ The novel in your hands, More in Anger, accurately, meticulously, unflinchingly, looks at a single, poisonous emotion, anger, and the havoc it wreaks not only in a single life but across generations, and, by extension, leaping off the page, the havoc it wreaks within us. For who is not familiar with anger? Who doesn't have some ember of anger smouldering deep in their soul (or not so deep), ready to be fanned and inflamed? What a disease, anger is, so common, so hard to diagnose and cure, so destructive. More in Anger fairly glowers. Its story is painful yet salutary; it grips the reader with uncomfortable closeness and yet it has the proper effect of catharsis, leaving one calm and thoughtful, thinking, "There, but for the grace of God, go I." ~ Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi and Beatrice & Virgil
~ J. Jill Robinson's More in Anger is psychologically rich and compelling in every way. Here is a brilliant look at families, the dynamics that hold them together against all odds, and the ways in which they tear and come apart. Here is motherhood with all its generosity and resentment, its mess and magnificence. Here is the what it means to be a daughter, a wife, a lover. Aching vulnerabilities and steely strengths. Robinson is an supremely elegant writer. These characters will stay with you for a very long time." ~ Lisa Moore, author of Open and February
~ In this three-generation portrayal of emotional destruction, Jill Robinson powerfully conveys the damage done to daughters by mothers who have never grown up. Beginning with the stifling social mores of pre-World War One in Winnipeg, More in Anger traces the inevitable fallout of pressure-cooker domesticity on Opal, then Pearl and finally Vivien, who pushes for a risky freedom in the 1970s that neither her mother nor grandmother could have imagined. The writing in this novel cuts close to home. ~ Daphne Marlatt, author of Taken and The Given
~ This is an unusual and remarkable story, both heartbreaking and hopeful. I was transfixed by the urgency of the voice, how fiercely and skillfully J. Jill Robinson cuts to the bone and lays bare the lives of these three promising women. With daring, an unswerving honesty, and without a hint a sentimentality More in Anger reminds us there is both affliction and love to be found at the heart of a family, of its power, like no other, to shape our lives. An unforgettable and compelling book. ~ Sandra Birdsell, author of The Russlander and Waiting for Joe
~ Jill Robinson's new novel is a chilling account of the legacy of a patriarch¹s irrational rage. More in Anger is at once heartbreaking and hopeful as one woman, his granddaughter Vivian, overcomes her own self-destructive rage and accepts the gift of a new lens through which to see the world. It is a book you will not be able to put down. ~ Dianne Warren, author of Cool Water
~ In the lucky absence of the four horsemen, most of our days, indeed our lives, are filled not with profound philosophical questions but with simple human contact, with words spoken and gestures made. And what these words and gestures do, in all of us, is accumulate. More in Anger explores, over three generations, everything from relentless, self-indulgent carelessness to locked and loaded cruelty, and it asks, finally: even if we might be forgiven, should we always be excused? It's a very good question. ~ Bonnie Burnard, author of A Good House and Suddenly

text: I've been researching Dominican culture and history extensively prior to my visit to DR next week, and am still confused as to whether the aboriginal tribes that were inhabiting the island of Hispañiola had any legitiment surivivors. I know this is a tricky subject matter, since it is difficult to trace the lineage via scientific, nor documentional methods, but how would someone trace, or better yet claim heritage to this supposedly extinct culture? What's the verdict: are arawak/taino descendants dead or alive? Are the groups claiming to be arawak/taino descendents legit? I'm sure there may be traces of lineage in everyone inhabiting the island, but to what extent? Is it fair to believe that it is all based on assumption?

Precursor Games hasn't had the best year thus far. In between controversies with the founding of the studio which involved former Silicon Knights founder Dennis Dyack, an ugly arrest of co-founder Ken McCulloch on account of possessing child pornography, the canceling of its crowd-funding campaign for Shadow of the Eternals and subsequent relaunch of the same, the studio has now revealed that the game is going on a hiatus. The Eternal Darkness spiritual sequel failed to reach its second funding goal of $750,000 on Kickstarter.
In a post on Precursor's forums, Dyack stated that "For those who are not aware, we all worked on this project as a labor of love and self financed 100 per cent of everything for a over a year to try to make Shadow of the Eternals a reality. Although we did not succeed on doing this, we succeeded in making many friends and starting something that we hope provided value for those involved. We have no regrets."
"Is the project dead? No, but we feel it needs a rest. We have all agreed as a group that when and if the time is right we will get together and start it up again. Keep your head high everyone and remember what we have accomplished together."
Anyone bummed that we'll have to continue waiting for a follow-up to Eternal Darkness or did it seem too good to be true from the start? Let us know in the comments.

Paris in spring is a happy time; everyone's emerging from their winter hibernation and venturing back onto the streets and into the parks and cafes. You might need to take a jacket and scarf but the sun will be out and the flowers blooming. Some of the best places to soak up the spring sun are:
Jardin du Luxembourg
Marie de Medici's royal residence during the Renaissance, there are wonderful formal gardens, daffodils, blossoms and green benches near the fountain for sitting and people-watching, an excellent Parisian pastime. Remember, there is no sitting on the grass when you visit the Jardin du Luxembourg – the French are too elegant for that.
Jardin des Tuileries
Between the Louvre and the Champs Elysees, this is a place to stroll and sit for a while but it's more about people-watching than floral displays.
Promenade Plantee
Floral gardens planted on a defunct elevated railway line with springtime cherry blossoms, chestnut trees, bamboo and colorful flower gardens. It's a hidden gem leading from the Bastille to the Bois des Vincenne. Enter above the Viaduc des Arts.
Seine River Cruise/Canal Cruise
Seeing Paris from the water gives a whole new perspective. Take a Seine River cruise or a Canal Saint Martin cruise and then head to the Buttes-Chaumont Park where sitting on the grass is actually not forbidden!
Jardin des Plantes
This is the place for flowers in Paris with a rose garden, a tropical garden, a botanical garden and an iris garden. It's also the location of the National Museum of Natural History, so there's plenty of learning for kids.
Musee Rodin
Good to visit any time of the year but one of its splendors is the garden which in spring has roses blooming among the Rodin sculptures.
City of Lights
Taking a bottle of wine onto one of Paris's many bridges or to the riverside as the sun sets is a lovely way to start the evening. From the Pont des Arts pedestrian bridge you can watch the Eiffel Tower light up.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. HistoryWith its origins in the 14th Century, the Order of St. Dumas was a small army of warrior priests dedicated to visiting wrath upon infidel foes during the Crusades. Similar in its credo to the Knights Templar, the Order defied Papal sanction and broke away from the Catholic Church, ultimately taking its mission underground while secretly amassing great wealth and power. The order demanded unwavering obedience from its members. Anyone who dared to betray its secrets was slain by the Order's "avenging angel," Azrael. This merciless warrior was trained from infancy using the System, an arcane mix of mental and physical conditioning through post-hypnotic suggestion. Over the centuries that followed, the Order's numbers dwindled and its mission became increasingly tainted by the greed of its remaining devotees. College student John Paul Valley inherited the mantle of Azrael from his father when the latter was killed in the Order's service. Valley briefly served the remaining acolytes of St. Dumas; however, with Batman's help, he managed to escape the psychic bonds of the System. When he learned the full story of the horrific procedures that forged him into Azrael, Valley destroyed every last vestige of the Order. The death of John Paul Valley, the last, albeit unwilling, member of the Order of St. Dumas, brought to an end this bizzare and sinister remnant of a bygone era.

Click on each GM to go to its own page
Introduction by Metal Slime
After Zeon dukedom had started their earth invasion, the only hope for the Earth Federation was to relied on the "V-campaign". This operation also included the development plan for the RX series MS project as a counteraction for those Zeon's MS-06 (Zaku) line.
The campaign itself was proved to be somewhat successful, in the performance of Gundam, the white mobile suit, and the mothership Whitebase. However, the cost study indicated some difficulties for the mass production plan. The Earth Federation had tested the production run on the RX-79 variation before making some minor changes and came up with the RGM-79 production line.
main feature for RX series, Core Block System was omitted. Also,
*However, it must also be noted that according to the MG GM booklet, the number of units engaged in the battle of Solomon reached as high as 600 (!). Yet another data inconsistency in Gundam universe.
