Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Ayn
Who Is Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Few 20th century intellectuals have been as influential—and controversial— as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, pro- gressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on Ayn Rand many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entre- preneurs, and investors. INTRODUCTION AN Why does Rand’s work remain so influential? Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, AN INTRODUCTION public issues, aesthetics and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world. -
Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America's Civil
Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System December 2010 Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System 1 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Danger in Familiar Places 4 Lead 6 Toxic Substances 8 Magnets 10 Conclusion 13 Appendix: Resources for Consumers 14 Endnotes 15 Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System 2 Introduction Today’s toys are not your parents’ toys. Toys have grown in sophistication and technological advancement, but so have their dangers. In 1970, the most popular toy on the market was the then brand new Nerf Ball. Forty years later, the Nerf is still popular but has morphed into a “Blaster” – armed with a fl ip-up sight, red dot light beam, and shoulder stock with an extra ammo clip – and had to be recalled after the gun’s mechanism injured more than 45 children.1 While most parents have always had the common sense to watch for small objects that might choke a child or sharp pieces that might cause harm, today’s toys feature unseen hazards. Now, the danger comes from lead, cadmium, asbestos, and other carcinogens undetectable to the eye, or small, innocent-looking magnets that can rip a child apart from the inside. Since 1974, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued more than 850 recalls for toy products. In 2007, 45 million toys had to be recalled.2 Between 2004 and 2008, toy-related injuries increased 12 percent, and over the last 10 years, toy-related injuries have increased 54 percent.3 This increase in the number of injuries to children every year has coincided with a marked increase in imported toys. -

English Language and Composition!
Welcome to English Language and Composition! We are so excited for what next year has in store in AP Lang. Contained in this packet is all the information you need to know about your summer reading homework, and what you can expect in August. This course, due to our non-fiction and rhetorical focus, is structured very differently than the English classes you might be used to, but we know you are up for the challenge. Don’t get overwhelmed. Most of what’s contained here are resources to help you, not the assignments themselves. You got this! It’s going to be a great year! To give you some context, according to College Board, “The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing and the rhetorical analysis of non-fiction texts.” Sounds fun, right!? One of the best ways that we can prepare you for the class over the summer is to make sure we have some common language when it comes to the art of persuasion. That’s why our summer reading selection is chapters 1-18 of Thank You for Arguing Third Edition by Jay Heinrichs. (ISBN #: 978-0804189934) The book perfectly “front loads” fundamental information essential to understanding the complexities of rhetoric. Please make sure you purchase the third edition (Publication Date: 2017). This book has been specifically revised with the AP Lang student in mind. Heinrichs consistently uses “pop culture” and engaging entertainment mediums to make rhetoric applicable to students’ daily lives. He references historical rhetoric, both old and new, in order to reveal how rhetorical communication shapes the course of history. -

Garner College of Communication, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI Angela R. Michel College of Communication, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI Abstract: For more than 140 years, religious, medical, legislative, and legal institutions have contested the issue of contraception. In this conversation, predominantly male voices have attached reproductive rights to tangential moral and political matters, revealing an ongoing, systematic attempt to regulate human bodies, especially those of women. This analysis of 1873- 2013 press coverage of contraception in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune shows a division between institutional ideology and real-life experience; women’s reproductive rights are negotiable. Although journalists often reported that contraception was a factor in the everyday life of women and men, press accounts also showed religious, medical, legislative, and legal institutions debating whether it should be. Contraception originally was predominately viewed as a practice of prostitutes (despite evidence to the contrary) but became a part of everyday life. -
