Draft Central & Complete Site Archive
I've covered my impressions of this class in the intros to some of the articles linked above, but the short version is that this year's high school class in improved over the 2013 crop. The prep pitching is significantly better and the hitter class is at least as good and probably a little better, making it an above average high school crop overall, though there's still over 10 months until the draft so a lot can happen. I'll be referencing the players' ages a good bit below and it may appear I'm making too much of it or mentioning it too often. Take a look at this ground-breaking two-part series at Baseball Prospectus by Rany Jazayerli breaking down why it matters so much. These players are ranked based on my evaluations and those of scouts with MLB organizations, projecting future ability by balancing upside and chance to hit that ceiling. The college compliment to this list will be coming on Monday.
1. Jacob Gatewood, SS, Clovis HS (CA)
6'3/175, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.70, USC commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Lanky, projectable shortstop likely moves to third base professionally but would be above average there defensively and has easy plus raw power for a complete package that, with some offensive adjustments, could rival 2012 #1 overall pick SS Carlos Correa (Astros).
2. Alex Jackson, C/RF, Rancho Bernardo HS (CA)
6'2/215, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.45, Oregon commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Rumor is that this dynamic talent with a plus arm and lightning-quick release from behind the plate will move to the outfield long-term to save his health like Bryce Harper. Jackson isn't a Harper-level talent but has special bat speed and above average power: enough to go in the top 10 picks even as an outfielder, in the mold of Padres 2013 1st rounder Hunter Renfroe.
3. Tyler Kolek, RHP, Shepherd HS (TX)
6'5/245, Draft Day Age: 18.48, No college commitment, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Scouts were tossing around Jonathan Gray comparisons (2013 #3 overall pick, Rockies) when the XL-framed righty hit 100 mph a few months ago with a plus high-70's curveball. He works in the 93-96 mph area more often, has a usable changeup and is a good athlete for his size given his age.
4. Dylan Cease, RHP, Milton HS (GA)
6'2/180, Draft Day Age: 18.44, No college commitment, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Cease isn't that big or projectable but will sit 93-95 and hit 97 mph with a well-synced delivery, mix in a mid-70's curveball that's plus at times along with a changeup that's at least average.
5. Grant Holmes, RHP, Conway HS (SC)
6'1/205, Draft Day Age: 18.21, Florida commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Holmes is another righty like Cease that is from the southeast, isn't that big and doesn't have any projection left but is athletic and strongly-built with big time stuff: he sits 93-95 and hits 96 mph with a wicked 82-85 mph plus curveball and a solid changeup.
6. Ti'quan Forbes, SS, Columbia HS (MS)
6'4/175, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.78, Ole Miss commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: A relative unknown a few months ago has captured scouts' imaginations as a super projectable athlete that's the youngest of the top prospects in the class. He's still slightly awkward at times, but has good pop already and collects hits in bunches in games along with a chance to stick at shortstop due to his plus speed, great actions and an above average arm.
7. Michael Gettys, CF/RHP, Gainesville HS (GA)
6'2/200, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.62, Georgia commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Known primarily as a pitcher entering the summer, Gettys showed plus-plus speed, arm strength and bat speed to go with at least average power in a June showcase before working 91-94 mph with an above average breaking ball on the mound. Most scouts prefer his upside as a hitter and there's questions about his ability to hit off-speed stuff but he could move up this list with a strong spring at the plate.
8. Braxton Davidson, 1B/RF, T.C. Roberson HS (NC)
6'2/215, L/L, Draft Day Age: 17.97, North Carolina commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Davidson is the safest bet on this list: he already has above average raw power with an upper body that should add even more strength to go with elite feel at the plate that already racks up extra base hits to all fields in bunches. He could fit in right field for now and he's one of the younger players in the class.
9. Jack Flaherty, 3B, Harvard-Westlake HS (CA)
6'4/205, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.64, North Carolina commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: A well-known prospect from the school that produced 2012 first rounders RHP Lucas Giolito (Nationals) and Max Fried (Padres) that has a wide skill base. Flaherty is projectable and very athletic for his size with good feel to hit to all fields and projecting for at least average game power and defense at third but likely better.
10. Touki Toussaint, RHP, Coral Springs Christian HS (FL)
6'3/185, Draft Day Age: 17.96, No college commitment, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: The most famous name in this class got considerable buzz when he sat 92-95 and hit 97 mph with a knockout plus-plus curveball last October and Toussaint is still young for the class but his stuff has backed up some this summer. His stuff has been more average to above average but it's still way too early to drop him that far.
11. Luis Ortiz, RHP, Sanger HS (CA)
6'3/220, Draft Day Age: 18.71, No college commitment, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Ortiz is maxed-out physically and is one of the older players in the class but still has lots to like about him. He dropped a lot of weight over the past year and consistently sits 92-95 mph with an 82-85 mph slider that's plus at times from a smooth delivery.
12. Cobi Johnson, RHP, Mitchell HS (FL)
6'4/185, Draft Day Age: 18.58, Florida State commit
Quick Take: Johnson has been a little tough for scouts to see so far as he's only pitched a few innings this summer to save his arm, wise counsel from his father: Blue Jays pitching coordinator Dane Johnson. I've been told Cobi has been sitting 90-93 and hitting 95 mph with a curveball that flashes plus potential from a smooth delivery and a super projectable 6'4 frame.
13. Nick Gordon, SS/RHP, Olympia HS (FL)
6'1/170, L/R, Draft Day Age: 18.62, Florida State commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Gordon is probably the second most famous player in this class behind Toussaint as he's at most national events and has elite bloodlines from father Tom (former MLB closer) and brother Dee (Dodgers shortstop). Gordon has been up to 94 mph with an above average curve on the mound but is a better prospect as a lefty-hitting shortstop with good pop, feel to hit and defensive skills.
14. Mac Marshall, LHP, Parkview HS (GA)
6'2/185, Draft Day Age: 18.36, LSU commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Marshall comes from a powerhouse Atlanta-area program that's produced RF Jeff Francoeur and first rounders in the past two years, 1B Matt Olson (Athletics) and CF Josh Hart (Orioles). Marshall sits 90-92 and has hit 94 mph with his fastball while his off-speed pitches are inconsistent but his 75-79 mph downer curveball and 79-82 mph changeup are both above average at times with potential for more.
15. Carl Chester, CF, Lake Brantley HS (FL)
6'0/175, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.48, Miami commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Chester comes from the school that produced Mariners SS Nick Franklin and has another top round prospect for this year's draft, IF Tate Blackman, as one of the stronger teams in a completely loaded Orlando high school scene. Chester is a plus to plus-plus runner with great feel to hit in games and solid gap power.
16. Derek Hill, CF, Elk Grove HS (CA)
6'2/170, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.43, No college commitment
Quick Take: Hill comes from the same school as 2013 bonus babies 1B Rowdy Tellez (Blue Jays, $850,000) and C Dom Nunez (Rockies, $800,000) and may make more money than both of them. He's had among the best game at-bats early in showcase season but also shows easy plus speed and a fluid swing with a direct bat path.
17. Jakson Reetz, C/RHP, Norris HS (NE)
6'1/195, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.43, Nebraska commit
Quick Take: Reetz is a great athlete with solid average speed and has a chance to stick behind the plate with an above average arm and very quick release. At the plate, he's more a contact hitter that is very productive in games though he flashes more power in BP that could find it's way into his game swing down the line. He's also not bad on the mound, sitting 88-91 with an above average 77-80 mph slider.
18. Zach Shannon, RF/RHP, Anderson HS (OH)
6'2/220, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.96, Ohio State commit
Quick Take: Shannon has a plus arm in right field and works 91-94 mph with a plus 78-81 mph slider on the mound but has an ugly arm action so scouts prefer him as a hitter. Shannon is young for the class, has a live bat with above average bat speed, feel to hit in games, at least average raw power but a slightly mechanical swing.
19. Chase Vallot, C, St. Thomas More HS (LA)
6'0/205, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.79, Mississippi State commit, Full Report
Quick Take: Vallot is just five days older than Forbes in the competition for youngest player in the class and also brings a lot of tools to the table. He has an ability to stick behind the plate with an above average arm and a powerful, sturdy frame that already generates average raw power with a good mix of bat speed and strength.
20. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP, Sandalwood HS (FL)
6'3/205, Draft Day Age: 18.84, Florida State commit
Quick Take: He's old for the class and some scouts don't like his high back elbow but Reid-Foley has been one of the most consistent arms so far this summer. He sits 91-94 mph with a 76-80 mph slurve that is above average to plus with a good delivery and feel to spot his power stuff.
21. Sean Bouchard, 3B, Cathedral Catholic HS (CA)
6'3/190, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.06, UCLA commit
Quick Take: Bouchard is teammates with #29 prospect and fellow UCLA commit LHP Brady Aiken from a powerhouse San Diego area prep team that also produced 2013 4th rounder LHP Stephen Gonsalves (Twins). Bouchard has above average speed, easy actions at third and an average arm to go with a good mix of bat speed, strength and projection that allow you to project average power to profile as an everyday player.
22. Marcus Wilson, CF, Serra HS (CA)
6'3/175, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.81, Arizona State commit
Quick Take: Wilson is another projection bet that's very young for the class with a very projectable, long-limbed, broad-shouldered frame that's he's still growing into. He posted plus-plus run times in the 60 and in games and shows some feel to hit in games with gap power than should improve with age.
23. Kodi Medeiros, LHP, Waiakea HS (HI)
6'0/180, Draft Day Age: 18.03, No college commitment
Quick Take: Medeiros is the best high school prospect from Hawaii in some times and really turned heads at the June's PG National in Minnesota, sitting 90-93 and hitting 94 with an above average to plus 78-80 mph breaking ball. He's unique and sure to be polarizing this spring: young for the class and athletic with an easy delivery but is undersized and throws from a low three quarters angle with nascent feel for a changeup.
24. Spencer Adams, RHP, White County HS (GA)
6'5/185, Draft Day Age: 18.15, Georgia commit, Full Report
Quick Take: Adams is one of my favorite projection bets in this year's class, with a near ideal frame, athleticism, delivery and arm action to go with advanced feel for his off-speed stuff. Adams will sit 89-92 mph in short stints with and above average slider and changeup. His velocity will dip some in deeper outings but many first round arms have been much worse at this same juncture without as promising signs for improvement.
25. Justus Sheffield, LHP, Tullahoma HS (TN)
6'0/185, Draft Day Age: 18.06, Vanderbilt commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Sheffield is very well-known as he worked 90-94 mph in a heavily-scouted outing last October in the same game that his older brother RHP Jordan (Red Sox draftee will be a freshman at Vandy this year) used as his coming out party, hitting 98 mph in relief of his little brother. Justus' upside is limited by his size but he's athletic with advanced command, typically working 89-92 mph with an above average 78-80 mph changeup and a solid average breaking ball.
26. Greg Deichmann, SS, Brother Martin HS (LA)
6'2/180, L/R, Draft Day Age: 19.02, LSU commit, Full Report
Quick Take: Deichmann has shown impressive and middling performances already this summer. He puts on a nice BP display with lefty power that projects for average to go with above average speed and a glove that likely settles at third base long-term. He's hit a couple homers in heavily-scouted games already this summer but also has struck out a lot and is one of the older players in the class.
27. Mitch Hart, RHP, Granite Bay HS (CA)
6'4/175, Draft Day Age: 17.80, USC commit
Quick Take: Hart is another solid projection play in this class, as one of the younger player in the class with good command and a long, lean frame that should add strength down the road. He'll sit 88-92 with occasional sinking life, two above average off-speed pitches in a 78-80 mph slider and 80-82 mph changeup and a curveball that's average and changes hitters' eye level.
28. Trenton Kemp, CF, Buchanan HS (CA)
6'2/185, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.68, Fresno State commit
Quick Take: Kemp is long-limbed, strong and projectable, with a chance for average raw power and is a plus to plus-plus runner that can stick in center field. He would be higher based on those tools but he's still a little raw hitting in games and could move up or down this list a good bit this spring.
29. Brady Aiken, LHP, Cathedral Catholic HS (CA)
6'4/210, Draft Day Age: 17.81, UCLA commit, Full Report & Video
Quick Take: Aiken has been scouted a lot, coming from a top program as mentioned above and is a big lefty among the youngest in the class, so there's a lot to like. His stuff is more average now, working 88-92 with a solid curveball and changeup but the feel to pitch is good and he's not a bad prospect as a right fielder with good athleticism, some power and a plus arm
30. Ryan Castellani, RHP, Brophy Prep HS (AZ)
6'4/200, Draft Day Age: 18.18, UCLA commit
Quick Take: Castellani is a well-known prospect who was in the low 90's as a sophomore and is a long-limbed, projectable athlete with a good swing, though he's a much better prospect on the mound. He clearly isn't trying to light up radar guns and looks like he's playing catch at 89-91 mph with solid average stuff and above average command.

Feminism | Posted by Kate S on 03/23/2012
Why We Need To Stop Being Politely Active
The International Women's Rights Collective (IWRC) went to the third annual Women in the World Summit last weekend. The Summit, as I expected, was built on post-imperialistic rhetoric where women from the third world countries were victims and it was our job as privileged women from the West to rescue them via the power of capitalism. That said, the amazing women leaders, survivors, and activists accounted for the sponsors' ignorant rhetoric. Topics of the panel included forced marriage, sex trafficking, glass ceiling, and media among others.
My favorite moments from the panel somehow came together when Shelby Knox (who, despite being one of the younger panelists, was a TOTAL BOSS) responded to the question of why this generation of young women is not as active in the movement as its …

Dementia - daily care
People who have dementia may have trouble with language and communication, eating, memory, and basic care for themselves.
Help with Memory Loss
People who have early memory loss can give themselves reminders to help them function each day. Some of these are:
- Ask the person you are talking with to repeat what they said, or repeat what they said to yourself 1 or 2 times. This will help you remember it better.
- Write down your appointments and other activities in a planner book or calendar. Keep it in an obvious place, such as beside your bed.
- Post messages around your home where you will see them, such as the bathroom mirror, next to the coffee pot, or on the phone.
- Keep a list of important phone numbers next to every phone.
- Have clocks and calendars around the house so that you stay oriented to time and the date.
- Label important items.
- Develop habits and routines that are easy to follow.
- Plan activities that improve thinking, such as puzzles, games, baking, or indoor gardening. Be sure to supervise any task that may have a risk of injury.
Eating and Nutrition
Some people who have dementia may refuse food or not eat enough to stay healthy. Some tips that may help are:
- Help the person get enough exercise. Ask them to go outside with you for a walk.
- Have someone the patient likes, such as a friend or relative, prepare and serve them food.
- Reduce distractions around the eating area, such as the radio or TV.
- Do not give them foods that are too hot or too cold.
- Give the patient finger foods if they have problems using utensils.
- Try different foods. It is common for people who have dementia to have decreased smell and taste, and this will affect their enjoyment of food.
In later stages of dementia, the person may have trouble chewing or swallowing. Talk with their health care provider about a proper diet. At some point, the patient may need a diet of only liquid or soft foods, to prevent choking.
Tips for Talking with Someone with Dementia
Keep distractions and noise down:
- Turn off the radio or TV.
- Close the curtains.
- Move to a quieter room.
To avoid surprising the patient, try to make eye contact before touching or speaking to them.
Use simple words and sentences, and speak slowly. Speak in a quiet voice. Talking loudly, as if the person is hard of hearing, will not help. Repeat your words, if needed. Use names and places the person knows. Try not to use pronouns, such as "he," "she," and "them." This can confuse someone with dementia. Tell them when you are going to change the subject.
Talk to people who have dementia as an adult. Do not make them feel as if they are a child. Do not pretend to understand them if you do not.
Ask questions in a way that they can answer with a simple "yes" or "no." Give the person clear choices, and a visual cue, such as pointing to something, if possible. Do not give them too many options.
When giving instructions:
- Break down instructions into small and simple steps.
- Allow time for the person to understand.
- If they get frustrated, consider changing to another activity.
Try to get them talking about something they enjoy. Many people with dementia like to talk about the past, and many can remember the distant past better than recent events Even if they remember something wrong, do not insist on correcting them.
Personal Grooming
People with dementia may need help with personal care and grooming.
Their bathroom should be nearby and easy to find. Consider leaving the bathroom door open, so they can see it. Suggest they visit the bathroom several times a day.
Make sure their bathroom is warm. Get them undergarments made for urine or stool leakage. Make sure they are cleaned well after going to the bathroom. Be gentle when helping. Try to respect their dignity.
Make sure the bathroom is safe. Common safety devices are:
- A tub or shower seat
- Handrails
- Antiskid mats
Do not let them use razors with blades. Electric razors are best for shaving. Remind the patient to brush their teeth at least 2 times a day.
A person with dementia should have clothing that is easy to put on and take off.
- Do not give them too many choices about what to wear.
- Velcro is much easier than buttons and zippers to use. If they still wear clothes with buttons and zippers, they should be in the front.
- Get them pullover clothes and slip on shoes, especially as their dementia gets worse.

Box score
Emmitsburg, Md. --Mount St. Mary's defeated Robert Morris, 12-11, in the first-ever Northeast Conference game for each team on Saturday afternoon at Waldron Family Stadium on campus. The game featured six lead changes and was tied on nine different occasions.
With the score tied at 9-9 heading into the final quarter, the Mount (4-4, 1-0 NEC) took the lead when Daniel Stranix scored his second goal of the game on a pass from Cody Lehrer with 12:14 remaining. The Mount's Brett Schmidt extended the lead to 11-9 with 6:21 left. It was the first time all game that the teams were separated by more than one goal.
The Colonials (5-4, 0-1 NEC) fought back on a Trevor Moore goal with 5:02 remaining in the game to cut the deficit to 11-10, but the Mount's Andrew Scalley scored his third goal of the game with 1:40 on the clock to give the Mount a 12-10 lead.
Robert Morris was assessed a penalty on the Scalley goal, but won the face-off and Kyle Buchanan was able to score a man-down goal with 1:25 left to cut the Mount lead to 12-11.
The Colonials again won the face-off and Patrick Smith had a chance to tie the game, but his shot was denied by Mount goalkeeper T.C. DiBartolo with 1:25 left. Scalley had a chance to seal the win on the other end, but his shot went off the side of the net with 45 seconds remaining. Robert Morris was able to clear the ball and called timeout with 29 seconds on the clock.
On the final possession, Robert Morris was unable to get a shot off as the Mount defense secured the victory.
Brett Schmidt had three goals and an assist while Stranix finished with two goals and two assists to lead the Mount offense. Scalley added a hat trick to extend his consecutive games streak with at least one point to 25. Lehrer and Eric Ososki each had a goal and two assists in the win while Bryant Schmidt chipped in a pair of goals.
Trevor Moore had three goals to lead Robert Morris while Smith added two goals and an assist in the loss. Teddy Finnegan added a pair of goals for the Colonials with Casey Abbott, Buchanan and Corbyn Tao-Brambleby each chipping in a goal and an assist.
DiBartolo made 12 saves to earn the win, including several in one-on-one situations with a Robert Morris player. Charles Ruppert stopped nine shots for the Colonials. Robert Morris held a 38-37 edge in shots and a 30-28 ground ball advantage in the game.
Moore started the game quickly, scoring 31 seconds into the contest to give Robert Morris the early lead. The Mount countered with goals by Scalley and Brett Schmidt before Finnegan's first goal of the day tied the score at 2-2 after one quarter of play.
Smith gave Robert Morris a 3-2 advantage midway through the second quarter, but Stranix and Bryant Schmidt scored back-to-back goals to put the Mount ahead, 4-3. Moore and Scalley exchanged goals before Abbott and Tao-Brambleby scored in the final 2:27 of the half to put the Colonials ahead, 6-5, at the break.
The game remained tight in the third quarter with the Mount scoring three of the first four goals to take an 8-7 lead. Ososki, Lehrer andBryant Schmidt each found the back of the cage during the run. Keith Lee tied the score for Robert Morris, but Brett Schmidt's goal with 3:15 left in the third quarter pushed the Mount back on top, 9-8. Smith scored with 2:12 left in the third quarter to knot the game at 9-9, setting up the exciting fourth quarter.
The Mount returns to action on Tuesday, April 5, when Georgetown visits Waldron Family Stadium for a 7:00 p.m. game.

Sunday, August 16 2009 - In the Media
Saturday 8/15 - Mike Berger joins Williams and Williams on RealTalk.com
9/11 Revisited: The Enemy Within
Air Date: 8/15/2009 10:00PM
The "Experts" are starting to say the 9/11 conspiracy wackos might be right and with the 8th Anniversary of September 11th fastly approaching, many are still looking for the truth.

If you have taken academic level classes at another college or a university in the United States, you may be interested in transferring some of your credits to Foothill College. Here are answers to some questions you may have.
Actual determination of Foothill credit for classes taken at another institution will occur during an individual appointment with an international academic counselor once you arrive on the Foothill campus and present your transcripts.
The counselor will need to see an official transcript. In some cases, course descriptions will be needed. To help the counselor evaluate acceptable transfer units, keep a copy of your college or university catalog with course descriptions of the courses you completed. You may be asked to bring the catalog with you to the counseling appointment or to provide full course descriptions.
We strongly recommend that all students transferring to Foothill College attend an international student orientation. During orientation, you will have a private appointment with an international student counselor to discuss your academic plans; obtain a preliminary evaluation of your transcript; and possibly clear some prerequisites. Generally, transcript evaluation requires a separate longer appointment.
If your transcript shows proof of completing U.S. college English, ESL or mathematics courses, you may not be required to take a placement test. During your initial appointment, the counselor will review your transcript and may be able to place you into the next higher level course at Foothill. However, it is helpful to take the placement test. If you do well, you may be able to be placed into a higher level course.
If you are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university after completing your studies at Foothill, you must be aware that your next institution will do its own evaluation of your transcript, and may or may not award the same credit as Foothill. You should work closely with your international student counselor when developing your transfer plan.
International student featured in International Educator magazine article on 2+2 transfer success
Received Export Achievement Award from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce in 2012

SK Hynix has started full-scale mass production of 16nm 64-gigabit (Gb) MLC NAND flash chips, according to the South Korea-based memory chipmaker.
SK Hynix entered mass production of its first-version 16nm NAND flash in June, and has recently started to mass produce the second version which is more cost competitive due to its smaller chip size, the company said.
SK Hynix has also developed 128Gb (16-gigabytes, 16GB) MLC chips based on the specification and endurance of 16nm 64Gb MLC, with mass production scheduled for early 2014, the company noted.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:09pm
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Junior Matt Larson (Cheshire, Conn.) scored a trio of goals while sophomore Travis Harrington (Vestal, N.Y.) chipped in five points off a goal and four assists to lead the Bryant University men's lacrosse team past Bellarmine University, 13-4, Wednesday afternoon in Louisville, Ky.
Bryant (3-2) outshot the Knights (3-3), 40-19, in the affair and never trailed in a contest that saw scores from eight different Bulldogs.
The Black and Gold raced out to a 4-0 lead less than halfway through the first quarter, thanks to a pair of goals from first-line midfielder Gary Crowley (Scituate, Mass.) and scores from junior John Truscello (Holbrook, N.Y.) and Harrington. Harrington would get the assist on both of Crowley's tallies.
Each team would score once more before the end of the first session, and Bellarmine would close the gap to three, 5-2, less than a minute into the second frame with a Sean Doyle score. The attackman would record three of the home side's four goals on the day.
But from there, the Bulldogs rattled off four-consecutive tallies spanning the second and third periods, bookended by a pair of Larson goals, to drive the score to 9-2 in the visitors' favor.
Doyle would get the Knights one more before heading into the final session, but four more Bryant goals – from Larson, senior captain Bryant Amitrano (Valley Stream, N.Y.), Truscello and rookie JK Poirier (Coatesville, Pa.) – put the Bulldogs too far out in front with a 10-goal advantage, 13-3.
Jarrett Davis would add the final goal of the game for either side with 3:12 to play, bringing the score to 13-4 for the final whistle.
The game saw a number of firsts for the Bulldog side, as senior captain Matt McAllister (East Quogue, N.Y.) recorded his first score of the season with 8:49 to go in the third. Poirier's goal with 10:32 left in the contest marked the rookie's first collegiate goal to go along with three previous assists while freshman Kyle Crowley (Scituate, Mass.) earned his first collegiate point in the outing, assisting on Poirier's goal to close out the Bryant scoring. Wednesday's win was the first career appearance for the younger Crowley.
Junior Evan Roberts (West Cornwall, Vt.) took over faceoff duties for the Bulldogs, performing well in his first faceoff efforts of the season and going 13-for-16 on the day. Bryant won 15-of-20 faceoffs in the contest and went 9-for-10 on clear attempts. Sophomore Jameson Love (Darien, Conn.) made nine saves in his third win of the season while Roberts led the way with a game-high seven ground balls.
Bryant continues its Spring Break road trip Saturday, when the team travels to South Carolina for a 1 p.m. matchup against Presbyterian College.

I was reading Sitepoint's Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird. He recommends a best practices technique for fonts. Beaird prefers to work in pixels to maintain exacting control over a design, but in order to avoid screwing IE6/7 users he resets the fonts with a percentage...
body {font-size:62.5%}
...so that 1 em = 10 pixels. He then sets all of his font sizes in ems to provide graceful webpage functionality cross-browser while maintaining the control he likes.
This sounds like a fantastic idea, but it's basically from 2006. Is it still current? Is there a better more recent technique?
I realize a lot of people are starting to bail on supporting IE6, but my bias is to continue to support it, and I believe IE7 is unavoidable. What are your thoughts?
That doesn't necessarily make 1em equal to 10 pixels. It only does that where the screen resolution is set to that 1em is 16 pixels in the first place which pay or may not be correct.
The technique of setting a percentage on the body is correct for fixing an IE bug but the percentage that you use can be any value and normally somewhere between 70 and 100% will work best.
Here is some discussion on font sizes: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=565469
Thanks for linking to that thread, Ben. Saves me the trouble of having to find it.
Right or wrong the only way to be (half) sure that the font size you define is what the user sees is by defining a pixel font size for the body as the starting point. From then on you can define percentages as required.
There is a method that I posted in the thread mentioned above that shows how to do this even for IE6 and still allow the user to scale the text with the browser controls.
I find this method combined with the correct percentages to be the most reliable cross browser. (Too many of the other methods use percentages that will give say 13px in one browser and then 14px in another because of rounding errors or guessed percentages. Remember that simply saying xx% of a font-size is not going to give an exact measurement and if the measurement works out 12.9px then you get 12px in some browsers and 13px in others.)
However, a lot of people would argue that changing the base font size is taboo from the start and therefore it's a choice you have to make for yourself. I believe that setting a reasonable start size is a reasonable approach but many would argue otherwise.
Of course the user can set their browsers to ignore any fonts or sizes I define and indeed just use their own stylesheet so ultimately there is never any complete control over this and neither should there be.
After all the back-and-forth I've done on the subject, I've simply settled on font-size:100%;
I've updated/reflected that here...
Not a prob, I had actually not seen it before (I don't think) it was an interesting read and seemed rather appropriate for this thread.
I find myself these days to not set a font-size on the body at all. I define the font-size in ems further down the sheet. Like Paul said, there's no right or wrong way i guess.
Not setting a font size on the body means that Internet Explorer will incorrectly calculate font sizes where you have nested elements. You need to add a font size declaration of 100% to your body to fix that bug (it will not affect anything else).
You mean the bug where IE has problems resizing text from medium (default) to large? As far as i know that bug occurs where you set an em size font on the body. In that case going to large in IE leads to a huge increase in font size rather than the gradual one expected. In that case you need to set a font-size of 100% on the html element. Or are you talking about another bug?
Besides that, i use em based IE expressions to work with min-width. The expression extracts user preference from the browser so no font-size on body/html must be set. Forgot to mention that in my first reply
The bug is one where you have nested elements both specifying relative sizes where IE then incorrectly calculates the font size for the content in the inner element. Nothing to do with resizing at all.
Ah, i see ... is that bug documented somewhere? It's a new one to me
Heard that, Eric. But I'm going to try Paul's 13px reset to see how it works. I gave up on trying to figure out that 62.5% yeehah a long time ago. My inner math geek isn't very good at handling, well, anything, so it always confused the hell out of me.

Riverside Patty, which has been serving oversized burgers to downtown office workers for three decades, closed its Third Street location Wednesday.
Riverside's website says its landlord has asked it to vacate building and that the Cloverland Avenue location off Siegen Lane remains open for business.
An employee who answered the phone downtown was telling callers that Wednesday was the Third Street restaurant's last day open and referred calls to the Siegen store, which were unanswered.
The building, known as the Old Louisiana Theater, was built in 1913. The owner, Gordon "Skeet" LeBlanc, could not be reached for comment.
Davis Rhorer, executive director of the Downtown Development District, said Riverside Patty was a well-known downtown institution with a well-deserved reputation among diners in the central business district.

Gov. Ritter and Colorado Delegation return home from Asia economic mission
NOV. 26, 2008 – Gov. Bill Ritter and a 40-member business delegation have returned home to Colorado optimistic and encouraged following a 10-day economic-development mission to Japan and China.
The mission focused on creating new jobs in Colorado, new business and investment opportunities for Colorado companies, securing a daily non-stop flight from Denver to Tokyo, and strengthening ties between research universities in Colorado and Asia.
"We return home with much optimism and much hope for short-term successes, particularly in the areas of the New Energy Economy and the biosciences," Gov. Ritter said. "I'm also confident we will have a Denver-to-Tokyo direct flight sooner rather than later. But the most important achievement is that we have taken a crucial step forward in what must be a long-term, persistent and consistent approach to economic development in Asian markets.
"While the U.S. economy continues to struggle, it is more important than ever for Colorado to be aggressive when it comes to marketing, promoting and developing our economy," Gov. Ritter said. "We must keep looking for ways to create new jobs, new investments and new opportunities. That's what this mission was about."
"We found several areas of opportunity and a tremendous sense of common economic interests, particularly in the areas of air travel, the New Energy Economy and biosciences," said Don Elliman, director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. "Every time renewable energy came up, you could see the lights go on on the other side of the table."
"This is a competitive world, and if we are going to create jobs in the U.S. and in Colorado, now is the time for us to be dealing with these foreign markets," said Joe Blake, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. "We left Asia with great hope and great expectations."
"The next spoke in the wheel for Denver International Airport to be a world-class airport is a direct flight from Denver to the Asian markets, and Tokyo is the gateway to Asia," said Denver City Councilman Michael Hancock. "This was a very positive trip. I'm very optimistic we could see a direct flight as early as 2010, and that would mean a $100 million to $150 million economic benefit to Denver."
- Mission overview: November 15-25 economic-development and trade mission to Tokyo, Yamagata, Beijing and Shanghai, focusing on renewable energy, bioscience, tourism and securing a non-stop daily Denver-Tokyo flight.
- Mission purpose: Create new jobs in Colorado for Colorado employees, create new economic and market opportunities for Colorado businesses, attract new investments to Colorado, and strengthen ties between Colorado and Asian universities.
- Mission participants: Gov. Ritter and 40 leaders from state and local governments, economic development organizations, private businesses, and research universities (University of Colorado, Colorado State University and Colorado School of Mines).
- Gov. Ritter participated in nearly 45 meetings, seminars, speeches, media interviews and other events with government officials, private business executives, economic-development leaders, university officials and others.
- Elevated Colorado's profile in Japan and China as a national and international leader in renewable energy and biosciences and as an attractive tourism destination.
- Promoted Colorado in meetings with Japan- and China-based companies considering new or expanded North American operations in the New Energy Economy and other sectors.
- Identified opportunities for Colorado businesses in a wide variety of fields, including: the development of renewable energy, biofuels and clean-coal technologies; exports of beef, agricultural and other food products; exports of medical devices and pharmaceuticals; development of bio-technologies; and environmental remediation and infrastructure renewal.
- Introduced Asian renewable energy companies, investors, university researchers and government laboratories to the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory, which is researching and developing innovative new-energy technologies.
- Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce signed a cooperative agreement with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to promote and encourage new business and investment opportunities for members of both chambers
- Opened the door to establishing a formal Investment Promotion Agreement between Colorado and China.
- Met with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, China Chamber of International Commerce, American Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations, discussing several opportunities, including the possibility of Chinese investments in new hotel projects in Colorado.
- Held successful meetings with All Nippon Airways (ANA), Narita International Airport and Boeing executives in hopes of securing a daily non-stop Denver-Tokyo flight as early as 2010. ANA officials said they will visit Denver in 2009 to continue discussions, and an "Ascent to Asia" delegation from Colorado also will return to Asia in 2009. Every company Gov. Ritter met with in Tokyo expressed strong support for the flight.
- Promoted Colorado as a unique Western American destination for Asian tourist and business travelers.
- Held productive discussions with the Japanese Bio-industry Association to foster partnerships between Japanese and Colorado bio-industry companies.
- Re-affirmed Colorado's sister-state relationship with the Japanese prefecture of Yamagata. Identified several new business, economic-development, tourism and shared research opportunities, as well as opportunities regarding the development of geothermal resources and addressing the pine beetle epidemic impacting Japan and Colorado.
- Gov. Ritter took part in signing ceremonies for Memoranda of Understandings between Colorado State University and: Gifu University and the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan to create a global Center for Environmental Medicine; China Institute for Water Resources and Hydropower Research for joint research and scientist exchange; East China Normal University to expand areas of faculty research collaboration and student exchange in the areas of clean energy, global environmental sustainability, geosciences, engineering, education and business.
- Identified opportunities for all Colorado research universities to educate Chinese and Japanese students, particularly in information technology, engineering and the life sciences. Japan is currently in need of 500,000 IT engineers.
- Conducted site visits to: The Beijing Olympic complex as Denver eyes a possible bid for the 2018 Games; Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition Hall for ideas and discussions about land-use and transportation planning in Denver, including the possibility of creating a scaled model of Colorado for public display at Denver International Airport.
- Took part in signing of investment agreement between two Colorado companies (Shan Atira Asia Ventures of Denver and Top of Asia of Englewood) and Beijing Civil Aviation Sinosky.

Jan. 14, 2013 -- Today Mars Chocolate North America introduced M&M'S® Brand's new integrated marketing campaign called 'Better With M™,' which includes a new 30-second television commercial that will air during the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVII.
"'Better With M' showcases how M&M'S irresistible chocolate makes moments more fun and delicious," said Roy Benin, Chief Consumer Officer, Mars Chocolate North America. "The 'Better With M' story is delivered through our colorful spokescandies, whose irresistible chocolate always makes moments even better -- be they watching the Super Bowl, baking cookies, gathering the family together for a movie or even tailgating."
In addition to the Super Bowl ad, which was created by BBDO New York, highlights of the year-long 'Better With M' campaign include multiple English and Spanish television, print and digital ads, in-store displays, consumer promotions and multiple social initiatives focused on Facebook and the hashtag, #betterwithmms. The first television ad from the new campaign -- starring Ms. Brown -- will air on Monday, January 14, 2013.
A cornerstone of the campaign is a new cause-related marketing effort designed to make 'America Better With M' by funding the construction of Habitat for Humanity homes across the nation. As part of the initiative, M&M'S is also encouraging, as well as incentivizing fans to help 'M-Prove America' by volunteering at Habitat job sites nationwide.
"'Better With M' represents one of the largest marketing efforts in M&M'S history," added Benin. "We're confident our full range of communications and activities will excite consumers from the Super Bowl all the way through next winter's holiday season."

For a time after the Hostess closure, the only authorized bread was Sara Lee brands. But recently, Smith's 100 percent Whole Wheat Round Top Bread has been authorized and is available for low-income women and children enrolled in WIC who receive vouchers for their purchases.
In the coming weeks, Dunford Bakers also will begin providing two 16-ounce varieties Dunford Bakers Wheat Bread and Dunford Bakers Multi-Grain Bread which will be WIC approved.
In addition, three groceries with in-store bakeries are producing WIC-authorized whole wheat bread Macey's, in Spanish Fork; and Honey's Marketplace and Glazier's Family Market, in Kanab.
All products issued through WIC must meet nutrient and size requirements. Bread must be baked with whole wheat flour as the first ingredient and produced in 16-ounce loaves.

Tennis elbow surgery - dischargeLateral epicondylitis surgery - discharge; Lateral tendinosis surgery - discharge; Lateral tennis elbow surgery - discharge
You have had surgery to repair a tendon in your elbow. The surgeon made a cut (incision) over the tendon, then scraped away (excise) the unhealthy part of your tendon, leaving the healthy part alone.
What to Expect
Soon after the surgery, severe pain will decrease, but you may have mild soreness for 3 to 6 months.
Symptom Relief
Place ice packs on the dressing (bandage) over your wound (incision) 4to 6 times a day for about 20 minutes each time. Wrap the ice in a clean towel or cloth. Do NOT place it directly on the dressing. Ice will help keep swelling down.
Taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or other similar drugs may help. Ask your doctor about using them.
Your doctor may give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filled on your way home so you have it when you need it.
Wound Care
The first week after the surgery you may have a thick bandage or a splint. You should begin moving your arm gently, as recommended by your surgeon.
After the first week, your bandage, splint, and stitches will be removed.
Keep your bandage and your wound clean and dry. Your health care provider will tell you when it is okay to change your address. Also change your dressing if it gets dirty or wet.
You will likely see your surgeon in about 1 week.
Activity and Exercise
You should start stretching exercises after the splint is removed to increase flexibility and range of motion. Strength training can begin after 3 to 4 weeks. You should be able to return to normal activity and sports after 4 to 6 months.
Your health care provider may prescribe a wrist brace so you can avoid extending your wrist to pull on the injured tendon.
When to Call the Doctor
After the operation call the doctor if around your elbow you notice:
- Swelling
- Severe or increased pain
- Changes in skin color around or below your elbow
- Lost or change in sensation in your hands and fingers
- Of if you have other worrying symptoms

Credit union members
YOU are the Credit Union Difference! We're not for profit. We're for you.
Chances are, you've probably noticed it: credit unions are just different. From our exceptional rates and low fees to the wealth of convenient services we provide, we're unlike any other financial institution. That's because of our unique not-for-profit structure.
- It lets us do things and offer things that no other financial institution can do or offer.
- It lets us focus on serving you, the member.
- In short, it lets us maintain a bottom line not of profits, but of people. At Montana's credit unions, the difference really is you.
YOU Own The Place.
Credit unions are owned by their members. It's just part of our structure. That means you call the shots. It means you have a say in how a major part of your life – your finances – are run. So rather than having to answer to corporate stockholders, we answer to our members. Just let us know how you'd like the furniture arranged, because after all, you own the place.
We Were Built This Way.
From day one, our bottom line has always been you. It's just how we were built. Credit unions are made up of people working together to achieve a better life for themselves and their community. They were organized to be not-for-profit cooperatives run by democratic principles – one member, one vote. It doesn't matter whether you have an account with $20 or $20,000. Your vote counts the same as every other member. And with a philosophy like that, it's really no wonder why people love their credit unions.
Go On, Discover the Difference.
The difference is you. If you're a member of a credit union, you've already discovered that. Way to go. If you're not, take a moment and check into the unique benefits we offer. Here's a little more information on the credit union difference. If you're not already a member, go to aSmarterChoice.org to find a credit union in your area.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Tejano15, Jan 26, 2013.
I believe Robinson will be a consultant for the team.
Dez didn't want to see Ray Sherman go.
TN had two very good receivers in 2012 (Hunter and Patterson) but I don't know how much he had to do with them as HC.
I like the hire.
some quotes from volnation board...
I know we rarely receive an explanation but this one is puzzling. I'd really like one as I really liked Robinson. Can't find a reason.
hmm..interesting. The plot thickens!
I'm worried about Dez. Im always worried about Dez, but now Im really worried about Dez. Can this Dooley guy keep Dez in check and make sure he is doing what he is supposed to be doing on the field or will Dez walk all over him?
Interesting hire. Definitely Garrett all the way.
Is Cally really going to call Garrett's plays?
If so it will be the dumbest move to date.
put me in the..... im not sure about Dooley crowd.
:laugh2: Have to assume no one else would take the job.
Lifelong UT fan here: I liked Dooley as a man, but as a coach?= meh.
Faude Raviz (spelling?) ripped Dooley a new one after he was fired here. Stated he was always playing the blame it on the other guy routine and basically quit on this team (see this past years Mizzou & Vandy games as evidence) hoping to be fired. My observation: the guy never had a response for what another team was doing, in terms of in-game adjustments. Post game sound-bites were redundently void of answers as well. Hope Garrett got some input from Witten and not just his own past working experience with Dooley.
Oh please do tell why you would assume that?
The real question... will he bring the infamous orange pants?
How much would Witten have to offer? Dooley wasn't at Tennessee when he was.
Roberson was there two years and some of the WR did not know their WR routes and assignments, COME ON MAN, Dez did not know until the end of this year his plays and right routes, and people call that a good WR coach, one of the coaches JOB is that the players know their assignments, too little too late, goodby Roberson... He wanted to be more of one of the boys and not a heads up coach, again Goodby..
Yeah no alumni has any inside info on the goings on at the ol alma mater.
Besides Witten has his youth football camp here in East TN. every year, with both, recent UT grads and current UT players, and Dooley himself has made appearances so I'm sure Jason W. has no insight to offer.
Considering Dooley was fired, the people Jason would get any insight or information from certainly don't seem to think much of him. And meeting him at a football camp doesn't really bring much to the table. While he may have heard a few things from the administration there, just don't see where Witten is going to have some great inside knowledge to share with Garrett that he would need to be checked.
And hey look I was able to reply without an eye roll. Perhaps you should read replies a little closer before choosing your tone considering it was a simple question.
The point being: whether administration (who would not have a good take on Dooley) or through personal exposure to the man himself, or by talking with those who were directly under his authority (the players themselves
); Witten would have an infinite amount of better insight than you or I. Congrats on not using the eye roll, you still come off as degrading even without them. Must be a gift. I know who Witten played for, and how long he was gone before Dooley ever arrived. Just seemed you wanted to make an argumentative statement for the sake of being argumentative. No harm no foul. Have a good day.
Have to trust Jason on this one as I know very little about him. Wasn't that well thought of at UT but he inherited a mess and Vol nation is rather fussy.

10th Annual Black History Conference
February 6-7, 2013
Luther College
Decorah, IA
Body Politic: Cultural Identities and Representations of Black Women's Sexuality
The 10th Annual Black History Conference explores how black women's life experiences are shaped by both social aggressions and resistances that form around representations of race and human sexuality. To illustrate the importance of this conference, two exhibits are provided. Each exhibit demonstrates that cultural representations of black women exploit symbols, tropes, and metaphors of race and gender. How and why these images cause controversy is the subject of this conference. Exhibit A (see Lena Adelsohn- Liljeroth pictured right) generated a letter of protest, a portion of which is displayed below. The letter suggests how women of color often respond to what they perceive as the ritual denigration of their bodies.
April 20, 2012 "We the undersigned women of African/African descent and our supporters wish to address the Venus Hottentot Cake Incident. . . (in connection with) World Art Day . . . (sponsored by the) Swedish Arts Organization (Stockholm's Modern Art Museum) . . . The event was launched with Lena Adelsohn-Liljeroth, cutting the first piece of cake from a dark ruby red velvet filling with black icing . . . whose head forms that of a black woman that is seen with a blacken face screaming with pain each time a guest cuts a slice from the cake. Rather disturbingly for many African women, the minister is pictured laughing as she cuts the metaphorical cake. . . the gaze of the predominately white Swedish crowd is on Lijeroth who is positioned at the crotch end (of the cake) as she becomes part of the performance a re-enactment of FGM on a cake made in the image of a disembodied African woman. . ."
Signed Dr. Claudette Carr, Director Jethro Institute for Good Governance, Barbara Mhangami, Samantha Asumadu (and many other women who logged on to [email protected] or tweeted @honestlyAbroad or @Jigginstitute and added their names to this letter.
Representing black women's bodies is a political act. Its meaning can spark controversy even when the symbols of the black female body are produced with a different intent. For example, according to the Makode Linde (pictured right), the artist of the Venus Hottentot cake, the art instillation was intended to highlight the problem of female circumcision.
"A lot of people saw the images online and took them out of context and they accused me and the culture minister (of being) racist," the artist said in a video interview with Al Jazeera. According to Linde, "the people who have been upset about the art piece or about the images they've seen . . . misunderstood the intention or agenda of me as an artist." The controversy, Linde explains, "is all a misunderstanding."
In response to Linde's interview, Kitimbwa Sabuni, head of the African Swedish National Association and a signatory to the open letter stated:
"How Linde's art piece was supposed to highlight this problem with a cake that depicts a racist caricature of a black woman … is unclear"
The Swedish Modern Art Museum issued the following response:
"Moderna Museet (the renowned Stockholm art collection) understands and respects that people find the pictures and video clips from World Art Day upsetting, especially when they are shown out of context. The intention (of the museum) and Makode Linde was to draw attention to and discuss today's racism, not to reinforce it," the museum said.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etAYFadObVY (video of cake on display)
Exhibit B. consists of two photographs (pictured to right) and two versions of a story reported about a new species of horsefly that the scientist who made the discovery named after Beyoncé, the pop music icon. The two versions of the story are excerpted below.
"It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly's abdomen that led me to name this fly in honor of the performer Beyoncé as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy — the naming of species," Bryan Lessard said in a statement
Posting the picture of Beyonce featured on the right, NBC on-line reported the horsefly story as follows: "Beyonce may be one of the biggest pop divas out there, but she isn't the only diva with that name. . . . a previously unnamed species of horse fly with a glamorous golden rear end has been named Beyonce because it is the "all-time diva of flies."
Science on NBCnews.com, January 13, 2012
Feministwire reported the story differently:
"A newly discovered species of horse fly was named Beyoncé by Australian scientist Bryan Lessard. Describing this new species as 'bootylicious' because of its 'golden-haired bum," Lessard . .. explained that his name choice came about because the fly was the 'all time diva of files." Lessard's inclination to name this golden-haired bum insect after Beyoncé is a throwback or a longing for a racist past when bodies of black women were commodities; available to anyone white who could afford to pay the price. . ."
A Fly Girl: Black Sexual Politics and Beyoncé by David Leonard and Kristal Moore Clemons, the Feministwire, January 23, 2012.
Exhibit B. illustrates the need to explore topics related to the ways that cultural representations of black women reflect racially coded and sexualized cultural identities.
Body Politic: Cultural Identities and Representations of Black Women's Sexuality seeks to explore how cultural representations of black women's sexuality can be used to normalize prevailing attitudes about black women. Its purpose is to explore the Africana women's perspective on how black women's sexuality is defined in world culture. The conference is also dedicated to contrasting the expressions of sexual identity, expression, and desire created by others with the images that black women create to depict themselves. The conference topic seeks to explore the politics surrounding the black women's body and engage participants in discussions about the ways in which race is gendered.
Papers can explore questions such as the following:
1. Should consumers of popular cultural representations of black women's sexuality consider how certain images affect the construction of black women's identities?
2. Are hyper-sexualized images of black men and women toxic to black self-actualization?
3. How are artists, cultural theorists and public intellectuals challenging degrading depictions of black women's sexuality?
4. To advance their careers, are black women exploiting degrading stereotypes? Are others engaged in these practices?
5. What can we learn more broadly about globalization and cultural production by studying how black women are consumed culturally?
6.Does sexual representation operate similarly in other cultural contexts?
Legacy Honoree
The Black History conference's legacy honoree is chosen to exemplify the conference theme and to honor what African-Americans have contributed to American heritage. This year's conference commemorates Lena Horne whose Hollywood career illustrates how race and gender influenced Hollywood and the entertainment business.
Lena Horne (June 30, 1917-May 9, 2010) was an American, actress, and dancer whose film, night club, Broadway, and recording career spanned eight decades and was matched only by her civil rights activism and her determination to be respected as a black woman artist (see Horne pictured right). Horne began her career when she joined the chorus of the Cotton Club at the age of sixteen and became a nightclub performer before moving to Hollywood, where she had small parts in numerous movies, and better parts in the race films Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather. Horne was outspoken about American racism and found that she was unable to get work in Hollywood during the Red Scare era of the 1950s. As a result, Horne left Hollywood and continued a successful career in both nightclubs and on television. She also released popular recordings. In 1981, Horne starred in a one-woman show, titled Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music. The show ran for more than three hundred performances on Broadway and earned numerous awards and accolades. She continued recording and performing sporadically into the 1990s.
Horne was involved in the civil rights activism. For example, in WWII, she entertained the troops for the USO but refused to perform on military bases where German POWs were seated in front of African-American servicemen. In the 50s, she appeared with Paul Robeson, and in the l960s, she met with Medgar Evers in Jackson, Mississippi two days before his assassination to support voter registration in the state. She also performed benefit concerts on behalf of the NAACP, SNCC, and the National Council of Negro Women.

Plenary Speaker
Dorothy Roberts is an acclaimed scholar of race, gender, and the law. She is the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Her groundbreaking work in law and public policy focuses on contemporary issues in health, bioethics and social justice, especially as they impact the lives of women, children and African-Americans. Her major books includeKilling the Black Body: Race, Reproduction and the Meaning of Liberty and Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-first Century. Of Roberts, University of Pennsylvania Provost Vincent Price said: "Roberts' work brings together a wide range of disciplines to illuminate some of the most fundamental challengers of our time."

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Appeals Court Federal Circuit agreed with an appeals board decision to invalidate the patent claims by the inventor of a book vending machine that prints and binds books on demand. The three-judge panel stood by the Patent Trial and Appeals board's decision upon reexamination to rely on prior art references in invalidating the patent claims of inventor Victor Manuel Celorio Garrido.
Garrido was issued U.S. Patent No. 6,213,703 for an "Electronic Bookstore Vending Machine" for printing books on demand. The Patent and Trademark Office reexamined the patent and found in 2009 that most of its claims were referenced in several published papers, including a paper by a Jim Wallace titled "Exploring IBM Print on Demand Technology," reportedly published in 1997.
Garrido appealed the decision to the Patent Trial and Appeals board, saying the Wallace's paper was actually published on Dec. 16, 1996, which did not predate his patent's priority date by a full year as required.
In its decision, the board acknowledged that Wallace's paper did not predate the priority date and thus could not be considered as a prior art reference under Section 102 (a) of the patent law. But it maintained that that the paper could be considered prior art under Section 102 (b).
When the board reheard Garrido's case, he reportedly claimed he made a mistake in attributing Dec. 16, 1996, as the publication date of Wallace's paper and claimed it was impossible to prove that it was published then, contradicting his earlier argument. The board rejected Garrido's argument because he did not raise it in his opening brief.
"Thus, the board did not err when it concluded that the argument advanced in Garrido's petition for regarding had not been properly raised on appeal, and rejected it," the three-judge panel said in its opinion.
The panel also affirmed that Garrido's allegations of misconduct against appellee Bob Holt were unsupported.
