  • ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 Executive Summary The 2014 – 2015 academic year was a very successful one for the School of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM). Our faculty continued their stellar record of publication and securing extramural funding, and we were able to significantly advance several capital projects. In addition, the number of majors in SSM remained very high and we continued to provide research experiences for a significant number of our students. We welcomed four new faculty members to our ranks. These individuals and their colleagues published 187 papers in peer‐reviewed scientific journals, many with undergraduate co‐authors. Faculty also secured $6.4M in new extramural grant awards to go with the $24.8M of continuing awards. During the 2013‐14 AY, ground was broken for two 3,000 sq. ft. field stations at Dixie Plantation, with construction slated for completion in Fall 2014. These stations were ultimately competed in June 2015, and will begin to serve students for the Fall 2015 semester. The 2014‐2015 academic year, marked the first year of residence of Computer Science faculty, as well as some Biology and Physics faculty, in Harbor Walk. In addition, nine Biology faculty had offices and/or research space at SCRA, and some biology instruction occurred at MUSC. In general, the displacement of a large number of students to Harbor Walk went very smoothly. Temporary astronomy viewing space was secured on the roof of one of the College’s garages. The SSM dean’s office expended tremendous effort this year to secure a contract for completion of the Rita Hollings Science Center renovation, with no success to date.

  • Featuring Natasha Bedingfield New Album
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LIFEHOUSE RELEASE NEW SINGLE TODAY “BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS” FEATURING NATASHA BEDINGFIELD NEW ALBUM DUE OUT LATER THIS YEAR New York, NY – September 11, 2012 – Geffen Records recording artists Lifehouse return with their first new single in three years: “Between The Raindrops” featuring Natasha Bedingfield. The track is the first single from the band’s forthcoming sixth album and it’s also their first duet. “Between The Raindrops” is available today on iTunes and all other major digital outlets. To hear a sample of the track go to www.lifehousemusic.com Produced by long time collaborator Jude Cole , “Between The Raindrops” features Natasha Bedingfield trading passionate vocals with Lifehouse lead singer Jason Wade . "’Between the Raindrops’ is a confluence of all these different musical styles coming together,” Wade remarked. “There is this cinematic spaghetti western undercurrent breathing and moving in the confines of a pop rock song. The track started as a complete experiment, a sort of stream of consciousness. Over the next few ensuing months Jude and I rewrote the song at least half a dozen times. We brought our friend Jacob Kasher in to help us finish the lyrics. I feel like the song really was solidified and came to life when Natasha came down to the studio and sang on the track." More details on Lifehouse’s forthcoming album will be released in the following weeks. Lifehouse’s multi-platinum 2000 debut, No Name Face , produced “Hanging by a Moment,” a #1 alternative hit which crossed over to become Top 40’s Most Played Song of 2001, while 2002’s Stanley Climbfall solidified the band as a touring force.

    New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus 1917-2014 A Look at the History of the Legislators of Color NEW YORK STATE BLACK, PUERTO RICAN, HISPANIC AND ASIAN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS 1917-2014 A Look At The History of The Legislature 23 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus would like to express a special appreciation to everyone who contributed time, materials and language to this journal. Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

  • SHOULD EXPERIENCE LIFEHOUSE Turlock, CA
    For more information contact: Adrenna Alkhas Marketing and Communication Director (209) 668-1333 ext. 340 – Office For Immediate Release: March 1, 2018 “YOU AND ME AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE” SHOULD EXPERIENCE LIFEHOUSE Turlock, CA (March 1, 2018) – Lifehouse, the American rock band unlike any other, will be coming to the Stanislaus County Fair this summer. The Stanislaus County Fair welcomes Lifehouse, Wednesday, July 18, 2018. The performance will take place on the Bud Light Variety Free Stage at 8:30 p.m. The concert will be hosted by KHOP @ 95.1 and is free with the price of Fair admission. “Lead vocalist, Jason Wade, has such a unique, low-sounding voice that is easy to get lost in,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “Those who listened to them in the early 2000s are definitely in for a nostalgic treat.” With songs in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100, Alternative, Adult Top 40, Mainstream Top 40, Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop charts, Lifehouse has proven their versatility and longevity. It was in 2001 when the Los Angeles-based band first broke through in a big way when “Hanging by a Moment,” from No Name Face, spent 20 weeks in Billboard’s top 10, and won a Billboard Music Award for “Hot 100 Single of the Year.” Since then, the band has released six more albums, three of which also made Billboard’s top 10, sold over 15 million records worldwide and spun off such hit singles as “You and Me,” “First Time,” “Whatever it Takes,” “Broken,” “Halfway Gone,” “Between the Raindrops” and “Hurricane.” Lifehouse has also played to sold-out shows around the globe throughout their 17-year career.

  • Push Your Threshold
    ICI/PRO Audio PROfile #254 PUSH YOUR THRESHOLD It never gets easier, you just go faster. ~ Greg LeMond. Created by: Kristen Dillon Training Type - High Intensity Working HR Zones - Zone 4 - 5c Total Class Length - 45 minutes of warm up and work efforts. The purpose of this class is threefold: 1. Push your intensity threshold - allow your body to perform beyond what your mind thinks is possible to attain 2. Push your anaerobic threshold - improve fitness with high end training 3. Push your endurance threshold - work at maintaining a very uncomfortable perceived exertion for longer periods of time. As the instructor, this is the most important part of your job - cueing this intensity and using words to help the students know how to maintain it. I live and teach on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, we have VERY flat roads. As a result, many outdoor cyclists who live here spend much of their training time on speed building. It is important to note that both the outdoor road cyclist and indoor cycling enthusiast can benefit from this workout. To improve speed, riders should work at their anaerobic threshold. Both experienced and new riders can use this ride to improve speed at threshold. The intensity of this ride will range from Zone 2 during recovery all the way up to Zone 5. If your classes are not used to zone training, then using perceived exertion for effort level will work great. As their coach, let them know that the class will range from effort levels that are fairly light to effort levels that are VERY VERY HARD.

  • A Sampling of Current Hunter-CUNY Projects in East Harlem/El Barrio: How Can Our Students and Faculty Help Your Organization’S Activities?
    A Sampling of Current Hunter-CUNY Projects in East Harlem/El Barrio: How can our students and faculty help your organization’s activities? These are a few of the projects that Hunter/CUNY faculty and students have undertaken in East Harlem. They are offered as a sample of what is possible in a true community/ university partnership. For example, over 200 Hunter College students intern in East Harlem each year. The School of Education has students placed in 22 schools and institutions in East Harlem. The School of Social Work has 136 social workers placed in East Harlem. The School of Nursing has clinical placements at 5 East Harlem sites. We also have many interns in our nutrition and physical therapy departments that hold internships here each year. Please think about projects you’d like to see us do in partnership with your organization. ARTS, CULTURE, AND HISTORY Centro Archives - are open to the neighborhood. The archives hold numerous collections from notable individuals from El Barrio such as renowned poet Tato Laviera and Oscar Garcia Rivera who made history when in 1937 he became the first Puerto Rican to be elected to public office in the continental United States. Centro staff have supported the naming of streets in East Harlem honoring Puerto Rican historical figures such as Tito Puente and the Young Lords Party. Art exhibits - Centro has held events that showcase art from their historical archival collections. These include: Labor (2012) with six well-known artists paying homage to nearly 600,000 workers who migrated in the 1940s-1950s in search of work, including a series of workshops for the general public; Picturing Puerto Rico Under the American Flag (2012), photos by Louise Rosskam; Posters on the Wall: Our Nuyorican Story (2013) featuring Centro’s Graphic Arts Collection; Tracking the South Bronx (2014) an exhibit of photos by Carlos Ortiz; and Shaping the Puerto Rican Identity.
