Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians account for growing shares of the economy and electorate in Rhode Island. Roughly 1 in 8 Rhode Islanders are immigrants (foreign-born), and half of them are naturalized U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. "New Americans"—immigrants and the children of immigrants—account for 13% of registered voters in the state. Immigrants are not only integral to the state's economy as workers, but also account for billions of dollars in tax revenue and consumer purchasing power. Moreover, Latinos and Asians (both foreign-born and native-born) wield $3.9 billion in consumer purchasing power, and the businesses they own had sales and receipts of 1 billion and employed more than 5,700 people at last count. At a time when the economy is still recovering, Rhode Island can ill-afford to alienate such a critical component of its labor force, tax base, and business community.
Immigrants and their children are growing shares of Rhode Island's population and electorate.
- The foreign-born share of Rhode Island's population rose from 9.5% in 1990, to 11.4% in 2000, to 13.5% in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Rhode Island was home to 141,570 immigrants in 2011, which is more than the entire population of Savannah, Georgia.
- 50.1% of immigrants (or 70,930 people) in Rhode Island were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011—meaning that they are eligible to vote.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 3% of the state's population (or 30,000) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- 13% (or 73,808) of registered voters in Rhode Island were "New Americans"—naturalized citizens or the U.S.-born children of immigrants who were raised during the current era of immigration from Latin America and Asia which began in 1965—according to an analysis of 2008 Census Bureau data by Rob Paral & Associates.
Nearly 1 in 6 Rhode Islanders are Latino or Asian.
- The Latino share of Rhode Island's population grew from 4.6% in 1990, to 8.7% in 2000, to 12.8% (or 134,714 people) in 2011. The Asian share of the population grew from 1.8% in 1990, to 2.3% in 2000, to 3.2% (or 33,235 people) in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Latinos accounted for 3.9% (or 20,000) of Rhode Island voters in the 2008 elections, and Asians 1.8% (9,000), according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- In Rhode Island, 91.1% of children with immigrant parents were U.S. citizens in 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- In 2009, 97.1% of children in Asian families in Rhode Island were U.S. citizens, as were 90.7% of children in Latino families.
Latino and Asian entrepreneurs and consumers add billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to Rhode Island's economy.
- The 2012 purchasing power of Latinos in Rhode Island totaled $2.8 billion—an increase of 593.7% since 1990. Asian buying power totaled $1.1 billion—an increase of 451.5% since 1990, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia.
- Rhode Island's 5,765 Latino-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $460.6 million and employed 1,997 people in 2007, the last year for which data is available. The state's 1,999 Asian-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $583.9 million and employed 3,729 people in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Business Owners.
Immigrants are essential to Rhode Island's economy as workers.
- Immigrants comprised 16% of the state's workforce in 2011 (or 91,844 workers), according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Unauthorized immigrants are integral to Rhode Island's economy as workers and taxpayers.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 3.7% of the state's workforce (or 20,000 workers) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Rhode Island, the state would lose $698.0 million in economic activity, $310.0 million in gross state product, and approximately 3,780 jobs, even accounting for adequate market adjustment time, according to a report by the Perryman Group.
Unauthorized immigrants pay taxes.
- Unauthorized immigrants in Rhode Island paid $30.4 million in state and local taxes in 2010, including $22.5 million in sales taxes, $5 million in state income taxes, and $2.9 million in property taxes, according to data from the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy.
- Were unauthorized immigrants in Rhode Island to have legal status, they would pay $38.4 million in state and local taxes, including $24 million in sales taxes, $11.4 million in state income taxes, and $3 million in property taxes.
Immigrants are integral to Rhode Island's economy as students.
- Rhode Island's 5,054 foreign students contributed $191.2 million to the state's economy in tuition, fees, and living expenses for the 2011-2012 academic year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
Naturalized citizens excel educationally.
- In Rhode Island, 22.6% of foreign-born persons who were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011 had a bachelor's or higher degree, compared to 20% of noncitizens. At the same time, only 29.7% of naturalized citizens lacked a high-school diploma, compared to 41.2% of noncitizens.
- The number of immigrants in Rhode Island with a college degree increased by 65.3% between 2000 and 2011, according to data from the Migration Policy Institute.
- In Rhode Island, 85.9% of children with immigrant parents were considered "English proficient" as of 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- The English proficiency rate among Asian children in Rhode Island was 92.3%, while for Latino children it was 80.3%, as of 2009.

The City of Martin's coffers will be a little lighter following a ruling by the Floyd County Circuit Court last week.
Circuit Court Judge John David Caudill ruled against the city of Martin on Friday after Mayor Thomasine Robinson failed to show up for a contempt of court hearing. That judgement forces the city of Martin to make good on unpaid garbage fee's totalling $11,529.00.
County Attorney Keith Bartley says that may not be the end of it.
"This doesn't preclude us from getting a judgement for more if we find out that they actually owe us more than what they say," said Bartley, adding the numbers provided to the county may not be accurate based on what he called inconsistencies in the monthly recorded fees.
"I don't understand how bills can change by more than 100 percent month to month," said Bartley. "There is no logical reason for that."
Bartley says that the judgement stipulates that the city turn over documents related to the fees so that the numbers can be verified.
"The judge made it clear today that if their numbers are wrong then the judgement should be be amended," he said.
According to Bartley, the judge ordered in February for the the city of Martin to provide documentation related to garbage collection fees and begin making payments. However, Bartley says that since then, the city has made only three payments.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the cite, I have started research on what happend to my family and I found this cite along the way. Six months ago I delivered my beautiful baby girl by emergency c-section, I had been in the hospital for 23 days and had developed HELLP syndrom. My Little girl, Meadow, was born two months early, we spent 8 weeks in the ICN with her. So in short the best time in our lives was also the worst, I was very sick, and we worried about our baby everyday. Watching those monitors became a way of life for a while. But we have been home for 4 months and my baby girl is 15 lbs, she's very healthy, and as soon as the cold season passes we're going to get back out into the world.
Because I was hospitalized so long I lost my job and had to pay a fortune to keep insurance. Now my child can't be in a daycare setting because of her prematurity, and lung situation. She gets the synagis shot every month, and I don't take her out, fearing that she will get sick, and end up back in the hospital. I had only lived in the town we are in for about a year before my baby was born and any friendships I had started didn't really pull through the three month ordeal. I'm feeling lonely I guess, not that my daughter isn't wonderful company! I miss adult interaction, and her father is working like crazy to get us through the winter.
We had planned on a big family and are very unsure of where we're at with that, still wanting more children but knowing there is a risk this could happen again. We want to understand the risks more, and how they now apply to us.
PS Please ignore any bad spelling, I've never been a good speller

I got a call from my OB telling me that i am positive for anti-c.
I did some internet reading and noticed a correlation between women who have had pre-eclampsia and these antibodies n other forums.
This is my second pregnancy and no one mentioned anything like this for my first pregnancy that developed early onset severe pre-e.
My OB think that i am positive now because of the blood transfusion that i needed with my son.
I'm trying not to think the worst.... especially because we still know so little.
I go in for further blood tests tomorrow and my husband will be tested as well.
I feel like with the threats of pre-e reoccurring as high as they are and now this news, that it may mean another loss? Or at least the odds are stacking against us more then i had hoped.
Does anyone know anything about this antibody or have first hand experiences of their own?
I wold love to hear some good outcomes right about now.

Perrysburg native inspired by Youth Leadership Toledo to join Challenge DetroitWritten by Maggie Dziubek | | firstname.lastname@example.com
When she moved to Detroit, Perrysburg native Anna Balzer didn't know much about the Motor City. Now she can't see herself leaving.
Balzer is one of 30 fellows in the second year of Challenge Detroit, a fellowship program that places young professionals in Detroit-based companies in an effort to revitalize the city. Fellows work four days a week at host companies, and spend Fridays collaborating with each other on workshops focusing on different aspects of revitalization in Detroit.
Before moving to Detroit, Balzer, a graduate of the University of Colorado, had returned to Northwest Ohio to take architecture classes at Bowling Green State University.
"There wasn't a whole lot of diversity [in Colorado]," Balzer said. "I wanted an urban setting and I wanted to be influenced by people who think differently from me."
Returning to Toledo as an adult gave her a new perspective on her hometown.
"In high school I maybe went Downtown three or four times," Balzer said. "I'm not sure if I didn't really notice it before, but after high school I'd sort of written Toledo off. Now I see it in a different light."
Balzer said she saw the city through new eyes, exploring Toledo's nightlife, acoustic music scene and historic neighborhoods like the Old West End with a new-found enthusiasm.
As a student at Notre Dame Academy in Sylvania, Balzer gained a valuable understanding of her hometown as a participant in the Youth Leadership Toledo (YLT) program. Returning to Toledo reminded her of the lessons she'd learned through YLT. She said the program introduced her to the concept of "leadership through service," something that is also central to Challenge Detroit.
Leadership Toledo Associate Executive Director Cory Dippold said he is happy Balzer's YLT experience has stuck with her.
"What I remember most about Anna is that she wasn't the most outspoken person, but when she did speak, she was right on target and very passionate," Dippold said.
Balzer's host company, PM Environmental, is a due diligence firm that oversees the transfer of properties between owners. Balzer says Detroit's volatile housing market keeps the firm busy.
"It's not the kind of 'saving the world' environmentalism I thought I wanted to do, but it's a very practical application of what I studied in school," Balzer said.
Balzer is also helping to establish a downtown presence for the metro area-based firm, something the Challenge Detroit program is eager to support.
"What Anna's doing is what we really hope our fellows can do through the program," Challenge Detroit director Deirdre Greene Groves said. "Having companies in the region is awesome, but we're also excited when our fellows can be part of an organization's movement toward the city."
Balzer lives in downtown Detroit, near a People Mover stop, and right next to the Joe Lewis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings. She said she feels safe in her neighborhood. Now that she knows the city a little better Balzer said she's hoping to move to one of Detroit's neighborhoods.
Balzer has had a front row seat to the revitalization efforts happening in Detroit, witnessing both the successes and struggles of the movement firsthand as people from all over the country join the Detroit community.
"Revitalization efforts are happening and they are becoming successful but you have to ask, 'Who are they successful for?'" Balzer said, saying it's important for newcomers to collaborate with the existing communities in Detroit for revitalization to be sustainable. She said she's felt welcomed in the city by native Detroiters.
"If you come to Detroit and are really genuine about your interest to help the city, you're going to have an incredible amount of support from neighbors and businesses," Balzer said.
Greene Groves said Detroit needs diverse perspectives to successfully capitalize on opportunities for regrowth in the coming years.
"There are a lot of cities that are in transition the way we are. I hope those other cities don't have to hit rock bottom," Greene Groves said. "We have a chance to be a model and now it's on us to not mess it up."
The program administrators are also hoping the fellows put down roots in the city, and so far that goal has been achieved. Ninety percent of the first cohort of fellows chose to stay in Detroit after the fellowship.
"Some of us have an adventurous spirit, so we know that some people will leave," Greene Groves said. "But we do expect for all our fellows to tell a different story about Detroit, to explain to people why they chose to spend a year of their lives here."
As for Balzer, she says she remains committed to her new city.
"I've always had a bit of a wanderlust," Balzer said, "But I feel that Detroit sort of satisfies that. Somehow I feel more settled here than I have anywhere else."
Challenge Detroit is now accepting applications for its third group of fellows, who will start in September 2014.

What is your opinion of the Grand Theft Auto series?
April 29, 2012, 08:59:30 AM »
I have played Grand theft Auto games ever since the first one,and can spend hours upon hours just cruising around and doing my hearts desire. With all of the realism of a living thriving city and starting as a low-life thug working your way to the top,no other games in the same genre can even compete,marvelous story,huge maps,customization,and if you get bored you can just go Postal (see what i did there?) on a bunch of civilians. It is an amazing franchise and i hope number 5 will be as good as the rest. On a side note,the violence in these games are a mere fraction of what is in the Running With Scissors games we know and love. So fellow Postal fans,what are your thoughts about Grand Theft Auto?

Its a good series and I'll always appreciate the amount of work that goes into making such a massive game. I played one through three (beat two), and got half way through San Andreas. I liked San Andreas, but I kinda lost interest in the story.

I've written this on a different forum some time ago. It is slightly outdated:
As a hardcore fan of GTA series, I think that all GTAs released after 2007 sucked. I mean what GTA was always about? Yes, killing cops, thousands of them. You just go out of safehouse, choose a gun, start killing innocent people, then cops show up, then you kill many of them, then eventually your health goes low, you go into safehouse to save the game, then you get out and repeat everything. I've literally spent thousands of hours over the years doing that, hell, I still do that. Now what do we need to make that fun don't stop? We need infinite health and armor spawn and infinite weapon spawns near your safehouse. GTA3, VC, LCS and VCS did it perfectly. You earn health and armor by doing side missions and you earn weapons by finding hidden packages. Any true fan knows that story missions are just the intro, it is when you've seen the credits, the real game actually starts. You now have a whole city to explore and that's the 100% completion that you need to achieve, killing many many cops while doing so. And the nearer you get to that sweet 100%, the more fun is to kill the cops because of those neat bonuses you get to your safehouse. And it's always there, you can always just turn on the game and start killing cops outright without worrying of wasting precious ammo or armor. And I was doing it for hours, at day, at night, at home, at school, at vacation, anytime, anywhere. Once during the summer I've dedicated the whole month to explore every corner of Liberty City to find all of the hidden goods. I took me a week for each island, day by day, hour by hour, house by house, from morning to late night, 8-10 hours a day. And I've found 98 out of 100 hidden packages, all rampages and 19 out of 20 unique stunts. After that, I've looked at walkthroughs to find the remaining ones. And boy, after getting that "You have competed the game, you now have infinite ammo" message, I was so overjoyed like I've found the meaning of life. Did I stop playing the game after that? Hell no. I've spent another 6 months killing cops, without worrying that there are still some parts of the city to explore, without any in-game rewards except criminal rating which I don't care about, having lots and lots of fun. Now that's what I call a true, worthy game. That's Liberty City Stories I was talking about. Other gsme were not so great. I've really enjoyed GTA3, just never got much time to complete it, I'm doing a second playthrough now. Vice City - I did an epic mistake using a walkthrough to find most of the hidden objects and robbed myself of playtime, but I didn't like the atmosphere of the game and was disappointed in it because expected breakthrough of GTA3. San Andreas - they've destroyed magical "10 hidden packages for a weapon" formula, so when I've finished the story, I was like "meh" and stopped playing. SA:MP added some playtime though, but vanilla game generally sucked, but I didn't hate it so much as Vice City. Skipping LCS because I've already said about it, there's VCS, everything is great (except the atmosphere, but I've already seen VC, so meh) except the red balloons. Now those suckers tend to be hidden in walls and near the ceilings. So in order to do a full exploration of the city, you'll need to be in a helicopter. Constantly. That's get broken do to "go to the airport after every house, because you heli just crashed". It was so frustrating to explored the city without worrying of missing a red balloon. So after a while, I guess about 1.5 years, I've said "Screw this" and just returned to LCS and continued to have pure fun until I got to the point that I've tried every possible combination of fighting the police that could be fun. It just could not be fun any more. After about 2000 hours (maybe more) of gameplay. Hehehe, talk about replayability.
And then bad things happen. Steam introduces achievements. GWFL comes to life. GTA4 ships. I was hyped, stunned by graphics and physics, quickly finished the story and started to do all side missions, but something awkward was there. The game seemed fine but something was lacking, something which was the thing I've played GTA for. Yes, it's that infinite killing of cops that was lacking. No more new weapons for 10 or 20 killed pigeons. You have to kill all of them to get an achievement. F**KING ACHIEVEMENT! Do achievements help you kill cops? No. Then why the f**k they are in the game in the first place?! What is this f**king console crap you are selling me?! And so GTA4 began to look the a smelly piece of s**t. Something that was made as a quick cash grab, something that was made without devoting a piece of soul to it, something that didn't deserve to have a GTA in the name, something that was not worth buying. I feel like an idiot buying Episodes from Liberty city, I'm not going to say anything else about them. And then there was a last hope of the revival of the true GTA experience, Chinatown Wars. Nope, miracle didn't happen. In fact, s**t happened. Again.
And that's pretty much it. I think the golden era of GTA was from GTA3 to VCS. I still can't decide between GTA3 and LCS which is the best in the series. If LCS would've been released on PC, it probably would've won.
I've played GTA1, GTA London and GTA2, they were just different. They didn't have that golden safehouse mechanism, but it was great to ride over the cars in a tank and electrify soldiers. But I couldn't do anything without cheats, they were just too hard to enjoy cheatless.

GTA series are not meant to be taken seriously. We don't go around kill cops and anybody that walks after the game. It's a dark comedy and a bit of realism thrown inside.
Vice City was nice. I like how desperate Ken Rosenberg was (the voice actor is William Fichtner, the Mr. Mahone from the Prison Break series) and works with Vercetti for a short while to escape some of the troubles they made. Some of the missions are downright senseless, but hilarious.
Then it was the San Andreas. It is a much more complicated world than the Vice City, where Carl Johnson had to go to three places to get missions done. Of all, I like the design of the city they have made. It feels so Los Angeles, and it felt so like Las Vegas, and San Fransisco. However, I have to say that they don't have checkpoints on more complex missions and including the final one.
The final one was a bit insane: You have to zip through the riots, and then to climb up the building floor-by-floor, exterminate your treacherous aide, then go down the building floor-by-floor, surviving the blaze, and then catch the guy dangling on the fire truck, then catch the corrupt officer. Can't fail any of these in between.
What I like about GTA IV is the simplified interfaces and a better sense of humour in the game. Plus, they have checkpoints and taxis, so playing a mission there is not as tedious as it seems to be.
I'm proudly waiting for GTA V. I would like to see San Andreas in modern times.

I remember installing the 'Hot Coffee' patch that unlocked all the hidden levels. Like where some hoes are blowing the gang members before they come running out at you with baseball bats :-)
It was fun at first, kind of like a ghetto version of postgal but I got bored after awhile. Kind of got too repetitive. I liked Postal 2 and the various add ons better.
I also thought that 'King Pin Life of Crime' was an overall better ganster, urban shooter game. It was Xatrix's swan song before they shut down (Xatrix did Redneck Rampage). King Pin is available over at GOG and its graphics actually hold up pretty well for a 10 year old game. They almost as good as a lot of modern games. Some of the levels in bar rooms and stuff remind me a bit of Postal 2 levels.

i think the GTA series is awesome but after san andreas it started going down hill.San andreas was the best gta in my opinion not just because of the story but because of the two player. not only can you kill thousens of cops and pedestriens but now you can do it with a friend.the gta stories (liberty city stores ect)didn't go well for me. after the greate SAN ANDREAS I was not expecting it to be better. But instead i get something worse than III. Gta IV and episodes were good and i like them alot but gta needs two player (not just online).

Sounds silly but GTA (1, plus London) made the best impact on me. It was one of those very early free roaming games in 3 cities to explore and do missions in. It amused me years thanks to the great level editors and mods. GTA2 is also very nice, especially multiplayer. I bought that game the second it hit the shelves, same for GTAIII, also an awesome game, this time 3d! I played it and enjoyed it, but not as much as GTA San Andreas which I've done loads of mods for and is still one of the most fun game engines to mess around with, in the same spirit why I love the old GTA, easy to mod.
I recently purchased GTA The Complete Collection (or something equal) on Steam, it doesn't have GTA London and the expansion pack GTA London 1961, which is still available for free download. I understood that this game in not property of Rockstar and that's why it's not in the package (I guess that "GTA: The Almost Complete Collection" won't attract much buyers). Rockstar released GTA1 as a classic with an upgraded engine without copy protection, this would be awesome to have for GTA London.

I played San Andreas and I enjoyed explore the very big map, use a lot of cheats, kill everyone, go in cars, motos, helicopters... (I'm sorry, but i don't give a fuck about the story XD), but there's more violence in Postal then GTA.
I love both!

It's a word that recently seems to have lost all meaning. It is not music. It is not a style of how people dress. It is not people who cut themselves. It is not a watered down style of goth. It is a almost meaningless word like nice. It is a word that was poked, prodded, overused and left to rot.
That pink and red striped shirt is sooo emo.
You're emo.

Usually a white person, their activites include cutting, crying, writing poetry, and doing non-people things. When sad can be really really depressed. Emos' can also be used for curb stomps. (teeth pressed lightly on a curb, while another person rapidly steps on back of head. Leading to emo with no teeth.)
Hey! Look at that emo! lets go curb stomp him. :]

People who usually think, "I suck. Life sucks. Time to cut my wrist," or something to that matter. They are usually cast away by society, and people look down upon them.

Someone who is very emotional. They dress however they want to dress, and they don't always slit their wrists and want to shoot themselves. A lot of emo people just write poetry to deal with life. And just to make a note, emos are not posers. You don't choose to be emo. Emo chooses you. In my opinion, the emo haters need to get to know emo kids before trashing them.
It's also a genre of music.

It's not people who cut themselves, or hate themselves and life. Not people who dress in skinny jeans with hair over their eye and band tee's. Emo came from emotive music and people began saying things like they cut themselves or all they do is cry, when that style became popular. Emo is really just a style of music that has meaning to it. Instead of things like 'Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus' that has no depth, there is songs like 'Miserable At Best by Mayday Parade' that has depth. Basically, emo came about to label people who have a sensitive side.
Typical stereo type.
Person #1- That guy is wearing skinny jeans and isn't smiling, he must be emo.
Person #2- Yeah. He probably cuts himself every night.
*Person 1 and 2 start laughing*

TJ Dillashaw: TUF doesn't show reality - Mixed Martial Arts News
Jack Brown: What was your first experience with martial arts/combat sports, and how did it become more than just a hobby for you?
TJ Dillashaw: Well my first martial art was wrestling, and my dad got me involved when I was eight years old. My father wrestled in high school and college and thought it would be a great sport to pass down. Naturally I was pretty good at it. It became more than a hobby for me when I was a junior in high school and I realized I could go really far in the sport and wanted to get a full ride to college.
JB: What do you recall about your first professional MMA fight, and how prepared do you feel you were at the time?
TD: My first professional fight was for King of the Cage in Reno, Nevada. It was a pretty good show, definitely a lot better than my next three. And after that, I got on the TV series, TUF 14. In my debut, I fought a fighter that I knew nothing about. I remember that he was very tough and that we had a three round bloody battle. As far as my preparation, I felt very confident that I was the better fighter and had done everything that I needed to. I was training with the top fighters in the world at my weight class and was catching on quick.
JB: You entered the UFC through The Ultimate Fighter 14. You were very successful on the show and you were a bantamweight finalist. How did you feel as you watched the show and prepared for the finale, and what do you think about your official debut, a somewhat controversial TKO loss to John Dodson?
TD: Well I was a little disappointed when I watched the show. I didnt realize how easy it would be for the producers to show what they want and to switch the order of things, as well as how much stuff they would leave out. They tried to build a plot for the finals and made anybody look the way they wanted. I was a little pissed that they switched the order of my fight to make it look like I was trying to take the easy way out when I had already fought.
My thoughts on my UFC debut at first were bitter! I did get caught with my hand down by the speed of John Dodson. He missed his punch and clubbed me with his forearm right behind the ear. He knocked me loopy for a second, and I was in the process of recovering and going for a single leg, when Herb Dean stopped the fight too early. I had trained for that fight too long and hard to not get the shot at recovering. I was bitter because I felt like I was the better fighter and let that TUF title slip through my fingers. Since then, I have learned to put it behind me by realizing the bigger picture ahead and that it must have been meant to be.
JB: You have been both a competitor and a coach on TUF. How did the two experiences compare?
TD: Being a coach is a whole lot better! Youre not stuck in the house the whole time and you dont have to be constantly watching your back. There is a lot more drama involved while living in the house, and the producers make sure of that by giving no form of entertainment or privacy and by stocking the house full of alcohol.
JB: Your second round KO of Issei Tamura in your last fight, at UFC 158, was a dominant victory. You're now 3-0 since your loss at the TUF 14 Finale. What has contributed to your success and how do you feel about your last three performances?
TD: I feel my drive to be the best and mixing that with a great camp/team has contributed the most to my success. I feel good about my performances and feel that Im heading in the right direction with my skills and that I keep getting better.
JB: Your next fight will be on short notice. You are replacing the injured Francisco Rivera, and you will be fighting Hugo Viana, on April 20th, at UFC on FOX 7, in San Jose. What do you think of the matchup, and how do you feel about fighting again so soon after your last fight?
TD: I feel like it is a good matchup for me and that Im a better, more well-rounded fighter. Hugo is good, but in my eyes, very beatable. As long as I stay injury-free, I would love to fight as often as I am now. I took my last fight against Tamura on 3-weeks-notice and now this one is 4 weeks later. Im always in the gym staying ready so that I dont have to get ready.

Applications for HBCU Teacher Quality and Retention Program's
Paid Summer Institutes Will Close March 30
New Orleans, LA – March 18, 2009 - The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) this week,
launched its national HBCU Teacher Quality & Retention Program during its 10th Annual Member
Universities Professional Institute & Exhibition in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The innovative new outreach program will recruit, prepare and retain 10,000 new and aspiring teachers
from the 47 public Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to teach in urban and rural
secondary schools. Many of the presidents and chancellors were in attendance during the announcement.
Dwayne Ashley, President and CEO of TMCF, said the HBCU Teacher Quality and Retention Program
answers the Obama Administration's challenge for meaningful innovation and reform in education.
"HBCUs are investing in our future leaders so they have the tools to innovate and succeed, especially in
the priority fields of science and math," Ashley told the more than 400 attendees during Day 2 of the
Annual Conference.
"Many of these public HBCUs were started more than 100 years ago as teachers' colleges. Although they
now offer a full range of academic disciplines, our schools are continuing a proud tradition of producing
African American and minority teachers. This is both a challenging and exciting time for the education
community, and HBCUs must play an active and innovative part in it."
The audience at the New Orleans Marriott French Quarter also included 200 student scholars, many of
whom are majoring in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines that
the recruiting effort is focusing on.
Components of the HBCU Teacher Quality and Retention Program
The TQRP has two broad components:
Training and supporting 10,000 aspiring and new teachers, and
Recruiting STEM majors, particularly African-American males, for public school classrooms in
both urban and rural areas that desperately need qualified teachers.
The training program has three major elements:
Recruit Teachers by providing scholarships, guidance and career development while in college;
Prepare Teachers by sponsoring intensive regional Summer Institutes for the Pre-Service Teacher
and STEM Pre-Service Teacher, providing monthly stipends; and
Retain Teachers through early-career mentoring, online support, and professional development.

TMCF Launches Teacher Quality & Retention Program
Page Two
Regional Summer Institutes, taught by practitioners and national experts, will offer:
Four locations: Washington, D.C.; Winston Salem, North Carolina; Pine Bluff, Arkansas;
and San Jose, California.
Four-week training for junior and senior STEM majors
One-week training for pre-service teachers (graduating education majors)
Intensive training in teaching theories, classroom management, curriculum design, use of
technology in the classrooms, and becoming effective role models and change agents for
their students.
The deadline to submit applications to attend is March 30, 2009, and applications are available online.
The ultimate goal of the HBCU Teacher Quality and Retention Program is to serve 10,000 aspiring and
new teachers within its first five years, of which 30 percent will be STEM majors, and 40 percent will be
African American males. The advisory committee co-chairs for the program are Dr. Cynthia Jackson-
Hammond from Winston-Salem State University, and Dr. Calvin Johnson from the University of
Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Member Universities Professional Institute & Exhibition
The Member Universities Professional Institute & Exhibition is an annual 3-day intensive, skill-building
and networking conference that provides a platform for best practices in education technology,
fundraising, and marketing. Corporate and federal government partners share trends in higher education
research and diversity recruitment that help develop innovative partnerships and enhance the learning
environments at the public HBCUs.
The 2009 presenting sponsors were: United States Department of Energy, Altria, Wachovia, United States
Small Business Administration, MillerCoors, Bacardi USA, National Aeronautics & Space
Administration, United States Department of Defense, Charmer Sunbelt/Brown Foreman, and AT&T.

Hawks Fly to Second Place In NEAC After 16-11 Win
- Release Date:
- April 17, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
CAZENOVIA, NY – Leading with 7 points each on the day, Sean Purtill and John Pingitore propelled the Hilbert College men's lacrosse team to a 16-11 road NEAC win over Cazenovia College, lifting the Hawks into second place in league standings. Hilbert dominated Cazenovia statistically to earn their second straight league win while improving to 3-1 (6-3 overall). Cazenovia dropped to 1-3 (3-6 overall).
Purtill led with 6 goals while Pingitore chipped in 5 tallies. Ian Holtby was credited with 2 assists matching Pingitore's efforts.
Hilbert opened the game with an aggressive first quarter outscoring the Wildcats 7-1. Elliott Russillio added a score to Purtill and Pingitore's big splash. The Hawks and Cazenovia traded goals the rest of the way which resulted in the big win for Hilbert.
The Hawks held advantages in shots (54-33), ground balls (41-27) and face-off wins (19 of the 27).
William Wagner earned 7 saves in net for Hilbert and Nick Kieffer won 17 of the 24 face-offs he participated in and many of his game-high 15 ground balls were picked up from there. Doug Takac and Kyle Mackowiak each scooped up 4 ground balls.
Hilbert returns to action this Saturday when they host La Roche College in a non-conference game which starts at 2pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

SO nice to see you!
I have a couple of things on the needles which I am super happy to be knitting.
My here project, meaning the one that is mostly staying at home, is "devotion". (Love that.)
A short sleeve pullover to throw over t-shirts. Mostly stockinette with a little cable detail at the top of the front and back.
They are out of Blue Sky's Royal Petite yarn and pattern collection which includes seven accessories. All super easy to travel with.
