10 Overpriced Celebrities You Can Actually Book
Celebrities are people too, they need money and attention to survive just like the rest of us. We think of celebrities like the stars in the sky, something we can only admire from a distance but never really come face-to-face with. This is not true, as a lot of celebrities are very open to bookings for private events. If you have the right amount of money, you can actually get many celebrities to personally grace your private events with their presence. The only thing is that some celebrities are way too overpriced, even by the celebrity-yardstick. Here is a list of 10 celebrities you can actually book, along with alternative options for the same price range.
Courtney Love may have her glory days behind her, but it does not mean that she is done working. This former singer who was closely associated with Kurt Cobain is still available to perform at private events. She charges anywhere between 30,000 to 50,000 dollars for every event, and if that seems a bit pricey to you, you should know that Anna Kournikova charges the same amount as well.
Jenny McCarthy is still willing to attend social events and speak about topics like autism if you pay her $50,000-$75,000. If you want to meet a former playboy model, this might seem like a fair price to you, but you should know that Ice Cube and Kermit can also show up to your event at the same price.
Carlos Mencia, the popular comedian, is open for bookings to private events. He is willing to perform for between $75,000 and $100,000, but you can actually get Patton Oswalt or Steven Wright for the same price.
Dane Cook has taken a lot of heat over the years, but that hasn't stopped him from pricing himself in the premium segment. You can book him at the lofty price of $100,000 to $150,000. For that kind of money, you can actually get Bill Maher to turn up at your place, and you know he can actually make you laugh.
You might wonder how much a person who was featured on American Idol may make for performing at a private party, and it turns out, it's a lot of money. Adam Lambert charges anywhere between $150,000 to $250,000, pretty much the same rate as living legend Adam West.
No less than two years ago, you could get this President-candidate to come and give one of his roaring speeches at your private event. He would charge you $250,000 to $350,000, but it might be worth seeing a future president in person before the magic happens. More serious options would include people like Tony Hawk, George Takei and Bill Nye, and all these people charge half as much as Trump.
Susan Boyle is a charming person with a great voice, but her price point of $350,000 to $500,000 seems a bit excessive. ZZ Top, an actual legendary singer, charges just as much as this 'Britain's Got Talent' find.
The Backstreet Boys
The Backstreet Boys may not have released an album in a while, but if you want to see them in person, it will cost you a million dollars. For a million bucks you can actually get Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath or AC/DC to come jam in your home.
Nickelback has pretty much lost a bulk of their fan base over the past few years, but they don't let this affect their price points. To see this rock band in person, you will have to spend anywhere between $1 million to $1.25 million. Snoop Dogg charges this much too, just so you know you have options.
The Black Eyes Peas were revolutionary during the last decade, and their price range seems to suggest that they fall under the upper-most bracket of celebrity status. The band charges between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 to perform at events, and other celebrities who fall under this bracket include Robert Downy Jr. and Christian Bale.

Home Renovations: Who to Hire?
Ancona is the capital of the Le Marche region, therefore it's clearly a must visit during a trip to this region. Those traveling between Greece or Croatia will likely pass through Ancona as a travel hub. This area features great weather while crowded with things to do like visiting the coast, lovely restaurants, museums, bars, monuments, etc. When discussing the must-sees of Ancona, a few specific places come to mind that we have outlined here.
This is a great escape from constantly buzzing city life. The coastline is spectacular, from the forest areas to rich sandy beaches and mild sea temperatures, it's a paradise for many. Moving a bit away from the seaside, we run into the bay. Most noteworthy, the Portonovo Bay is a beautiful sight to all who pass through. You can't miss this site in Ancona!
This is the best place to be in this area for the beach and seaside walks. It's a refreshing area of salty sea air and soothing sounds of the waves crashing along the shoreline. There is a place of soft sand in order to relax and also rough cliffside which lead to the magnificent beaches. Whether in Ancona or visiting all of Le Marche, it's a good pit stop for some sun and sea during the summer months.
Being one of the most well-known attractions of Ancona, this iconic complex truly stands out among the rest of this city's land. It is located in the center of the harbor area, close to Parco Publico Cittadella. This area is where boats and cruise ships seat themselves for a few days or extended vacations. The Mole Vanvitelliana is extremely beautiful, with fabulous courtyards. Interestingly, this structure was originally intended for victims of Leprosy.
The ancient amphitheater is a structure that is very important to the city of Ancona. While it is not as magnificent as other examples of this type, it's still a fantastic piece of architecture. The theater was built by Augustus and was used as a place of study and practice for young gladiators and also for artistic practice.
This is the main square of the city of Ancona. The San Domenico church, National City Museum, the public library, and the government building are all in the Piazza del Plebiscito. Consequently, its historical and present day importance is very overwhelming. This piazza features a variety of building structures that intrigue the visitor and keep the local people entertained.
Also featuring a lovely view of Ancona, is the view from the cathedral atop Monte Guasco. This is the most iconic of all the religious-based structures. It has an incredible view of much of the city and countrysides. The Roman-style architecture is most recognizable through the highly decorated door of the cathedral. Above all, it's a real gem of the 11th century.
This Roman arch is in the center of the city, in the harbor area. The emperor Trajan assisted in the early developments of Ancona. Due to this, the arch was as a tribute to him. On both sides adjacent to the arch itself are fantastic stone paths. Also, views of the port and the rest of the city spread slowly to the seaside.

IMCA seminar to focus on cranes
The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) will host its annual 'Lifting & Rigging Seminar - return to offshore cranes', in Amsterdam, on September 27, 2018.
The seminar, which will be held at the Novotel Hotel, will focus on all aspects of offshore cranes for a range of applications including subsea, wind energy, heavy lift and decommissioning. It will also look at the future of subsea lifting.
Mark Ford, IMCA's technical manager, said: "The Lifting and Rigging seminar is a great way for delegates to get involved in discussions on issues affecting the industry. It's an opportunity to identify common issues and needs for offshore contractors, which can feed into future strategies and guidelines for improvements."
The seminar is aimed at subsea contractors, offshore crane designers/manufacturers, equipment suppliers, crane training and academic institutions.
It will feature a combination of presentations and workshop sessions, with a focus on facilitating discussion between contractors, suppliers and research institutes.
TechnipFMC's David Cannell, chairman of the event, said: "We have a great agenda and important contributions from major industry contractors, operators and suppliers.
"It's also an opportunity for delegates to hear about some of the latest technology and thinking on crane operations with presentations from top academic and training institutions."

Noël Olivier, född 25 december 1892, död i april 1969, var en läkare, kirurg och medicine doktor. Hon är känd från litteraturhistorien för sin relation till Bloomsburygruppen och Rupert Brooke samt för att ha haft betydelse i tidig feminism genom roll i "The Neo-pagans" och "The Olivier Sisters".

Biografi
Noël var dotter till politikern, guvernören, baronen och fabianisten sir Sydney Olivier och Margaret Cox. Hon växte upp med sina systrar Margery (1886–1974), Brynhild (1887–1935) och Daphne (1889–1950). Hon var kusin till skådespelaren Laurence Olivier (1907–1989).

Hon gick på Bedales School i Petersfield, Hampshire, i dåtiden känd som en mycket liberal och progressiv samskola med "particular emphasis on arts, crafts and drama" och dessutom friluftsliv, fysisk fostran, "mental as well as … bodily health", och dagligt nakenbad.

Vid femton års ålder mötte hon poeten Rupert Brooke. Det var i maj 1907 på ett middagsparty, före ett större möte på Cambridge som Fabian Society anordnat, där hennes far var inbjuden att hålla tal. Rupert, som då tjugo år gammal blev förälskad i den blyga, intelligenta skolflickan. Han kom att skicka en mängd brev, vilket pågick fram till hans död 1915.

Vissa av Brookes tidiga dikter, exempelvis "The Hill", skrevs om och till hans första kärlek, Noël Olivier. Fram till tiden för hennes död i april 1969, vägrade hon bestämt att publicera de brev som han hade skrivit till henne.

Noël kom snabbt att tillsammans med sina systrar Bryn och Daphne bli del den krets kring Rupert Brooke, som Virginia Woolf kallade The Neo-Pagans, liksom kretsen kring John Maynard Keynes.

Hon avlade examen som läkare (Bachelor of Surgery) och som Doctor of Medicine (MD) och registrerades som Member of the Royal College of Physicians, (MRCP) och the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS).

År 1927 publicerade hon en studie om barnsjukdomar vid Victoria Hospital for Children, med titeln "A Case of Acute Lymphatic Leukæmia".

Hon gifte sig 21 december 1920 med läkaren och kirurgen William Arthur Richards. och mellan åren 1924 och 1940 fick de fem barn: Benedict, Angela (later Harris), Virginia, Tazza och Julia. Angela Harris dotter Pippa Harris, utgav Noël Oliviers korrespondens med Brooke.

National Concealed Carry Reciprocity – Is It Finally Possible?
By Duane Norman , in Guns Politics on March 1, 2017 .
The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act introduced Monday by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) would require states to recognize gun permits from law-abiding citizens in other states.
National CCW reciprocity would change all of that. Like a driver's license, marriage license (including the gay ones), and many other licenses, if you have one in one state, it is just as valid in the rest of the nation. While some states and municipalities could conceivably resist by designating wide swaths of territory as a "gun free zone" and arresting/imprisoning whatever violating citizens it could catch, it would be difficult to simply label an entire municipality or state as such, and use that to subvert a federal law.
Bill Nelson, Florida Over – 1,400,000 resident permits in Florida. All are voters.
Claire McCaskill, Missouri – Over 171,000 permits, potentially all voters over 20.
Sherrod Brown, Ohio Over – 574,000 permits in Ohio. All are voters.
Bob Casey, Pennsylvania Over – 1,000,000 permits in the state. All are voters.
Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin, over 240,000 permits in the state. All are voters.
So, if Republicans can line up the previous group to vote for CCW reciprocity again, they would only need to flip two votes, and the easiest targets are the above five, who are up for re-election in states Trump just won. As I have pointed out before, Claire McCaskill is an exercise in hypocrisy, so getting her to flip-flop on gun rights is certainly possible. Bill Nelson has introduced a CCW reciprocity bill in the past, and needs to do whatever it takes to win re-election. He seems like someone who could be persuaded to change his vote.
According to Ammoland, Tammy Baldwin is an "extreme ideologue" who cannot be expected to switch. Brown and Casey have not historically been friendly to the Second Amendment, so they cannot be expected to switch either. So this will likely be an extremely close vote, and it is also reasonable that many of the Democrats who voted for the bill in 2013 might not be so keen to support it this time around, especially if they are not facing re-election.
So, is there an "X-Factor" that could push the vote one way or the other? Of course there is.
It is reasonable to believe that in 2013, the Obama administration lobbied hard against the national reciprocity bill. In 2017, it is reasonable to believe that the Trump administration will lobby hard in favor of it. National reciprocity was one of the pillars of the Donald Trump campaign.
Will they be able to switch two votes to overcome the 60 vote filibuster barrier? It looks to be eminently plausible.
Trump is a big supporter of gun rights, and his support could make up the necessary difference to bring a bill to his desk. Will it happen? Your guess is as good as mine. If Trump is unable to sway the necessary votes, those who vote against the bill could be in for a world of hurt in next year's elections. And so far, Trump has done exactly what he said he would do.
Trump could be the wild card gun owners needed all along to push this bill across the finish line, but every vote counts. When the time comes, call the offices of the Senators in question who are standing between the bill's passage, and let them know where you stand. Worst case scenario, they will know what they're in store for if they vote against it. If they stand in the way of National CCW reciprocity, make them pay with their careers.
Best case scenario? A big win for gun rights. Which is part of the reason Trump got elected in the first place.
Update – 5/29/2017: Spencer Rands of the Armed Self-Defense Institute (ASDI) in Utah was kind enough to provide Free Market Shooter an updated map and course information for Utah permits. If you are interested in obtaining a Utah Concealed Carry permit, please visit his website at: https://trainasdi.com/utah-ccw. Spencer and his team provide training for both resident and non-resident Utah permits. Hopefully, CCW reciprocity is passed sooner rather than later, but until it is, a Utah permit is a great one to have. Even if the law is passed, training from places like ASDI is extremely helpful in training shooters of all levels how to safely fire and carry a concealed weapon, as well as provide them the tools necessary to keep their skills sharp.


The US Army had a unique tactical doctrine during World War II, placing the emphasis for tank fighting on its Tank Destroyer Command whose main early-war vehicle was the M10 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, based on the reliable M4A2 Sherman tank chassis. This durable and versatile vehicle saw combat service from the North Africa campaign in 1943. By 1944, its gun was not powerful enough and it was rearmed with the new 90 mm gun, becoming the M36 90mm Gun Motor Carriage. This book details one of the only US armoured vehicles capable of dealing with the Panther and Tiger during the Battle of the Bulge.


Forklifts are used by workers in many industries, including warehousing, construction and wholesale trades. These powered industrial trucks are dangerous and can cause workers serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Approximately 100 employees lose their lives and thousands more are injured each year in forklift accidents, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyers at Larry Pitt & Associates, P.C. have represented workers injured all types of workplace accidents. We can help you recover maximum compensation for your injuries.
Caught in/between: This type of accident is one of OSHA's "fatal four" causes of construction worker fatalities. Caught in/between accidents occur when a worker becomes caught in between objects, such as a forklift and a wall. According to OSHA, these accidents account for seven percent of construction worker deaths.
Failure to follow safety procedures: Forklift operators should chock the wheels when the vehicle is not in use; failure to do so may cause the wheels to roll. Placing chocks (wooden or rubber blocks) in front of and behind the wheels can prevent the forklift from moving backwards and injuring bystanders.
Inadequate equipment maintenance: Employers are responsible for regularly maintaining equipment and ensuring that it is safe for workers to use. If a forklift breaks down in the middle of a job, it can be hazardous to the operator and bystanders. Oil leaks, worn brakes and failing hydraulics should all be fixed expediently to avoid workplace injuries.
Inadequate training/operation: Both federal and state law requires workers to be trained and certified before operating a forklift. Improper or inadequate training can lead to catastrophic accidents. It is easy to misjudge the distance behind a forklift and workers who are not adequately trained can cause bystanders to be hit or otherwise seriously injured by a forklift.
Struck by falling material: When material is not properly secured, it may fall and injure workers. This is also one of OSHA's fatal four causes of fatalities in the construction industry. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), being "struck by an object" is one of the top three causes of emergency room visits in the U.S.
Struck by/runover: Ten percent of forklift accidents occur when a worker is struck or runover by a forklift. Forklift operators who overload the truck, do not look out for bystanders or otherwise fail to safely maneuver the vehicle may strike or runover workers in the immediate vicinity of the forklift.
Tip-over: Forklifts can tip over when they are overloaded, when they are being driven up a steep incline or when they are being operated by workers who are not adequately trained. Forklift operators or those working in the immediate vicinity may be fatally injured when forklifts overturn or fall from a loading dock – forklift overturns account for approximately 25 percent of all forklift-related deaths.
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) investigations into forklift-related deaths reveal that employers are not fully aware of the risks associated with forklifts and that they are not following the procedures established by OSHA. OSHA sets forth requirements for the maintenance and operation of forklifts, including that they must be examined prior to use and unauthorized personnel are not permitted to ride on powered industrial trucks. Forklift operators should also take safety precautions like wearing a safety belt and not exceeding five miles per hour.
Workers who are injured workplace forklift and other heavy machinery accidents may be entitled to workers' compensation. The Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act provides that workers may recover compensation for their medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who was at fault for the accident. It is important to notify your employer of your injuries within 120 days of the accident as well as consult with an experienced work injury lawyer in Philadelphia.
If you were injured in a forklift accident, contact an experienced Philadelphia workers' compensation lawyer at Larry Pitt & Associates, P.C. We can help you determine the appropriate legal action to take in order to recover the maximum financial compensation. For a free consultation, call us at 888-PITT-LAW or complete our online contact form.

Sotiris Petroulas (; * 1943 in der Mani; † 21. oder 22. Juli 1965 in Athen) war ein griechischer Student und wurde durch seinen gewaltsamen Tod zum Märtyrer der Linken in Griechenland.

Petroulas wurde 1943 auf der Halbinsel Mani geboren. Früh schloss er sich der Jugendorganisation der linksgerichteten Eniea Dimokratiki Aristera (, Vereinigung der Demokratischen Linken EDA) an. Als Student der Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Athen wurde er nach der Tötung von Grigoris Lambrakis Aktivist der nach diesem benannten Lambrakis-Jugend, die von Mikis Theodorakis angeführt wurde. Am 21. Juli 1965 trug er Theodorakis bei einer Demonstration im Zentrum Athens auf seinen Schultern durch die Menge; am späten Abend desselben Tages wurde er durch eine Tränengasgranate der Polizei getötet.

Mikis Theodorakis verewigte ihn mit dem Lied Sotiris Petroulas.

You also know it's gonna be a scary game when the first three minutes of playtime make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, and create a sensation of icy fingers running along your spine. Roots of Insanity taught me something about myself very quickly: I am not brave. Not in the least. In fact, I may be the poster child for chickens everywhere. I may have given myself whiplash trying to play the game wearing headphones while simultaneously trying to watch the door behind me to make sure no bloody zombie-creepy-crawler was trying to bite my ankles. While the graphics are not the best (the blood looks quite a bit more like wet, red, fetish-like latex than actual blood — this ain't Silent Hill here) Crania Games did such a thorough job with the soundtrack — squishes, screams, and other spine-tingling and not-at-all-normal noises — that I quickly forgot about my concern over latex-like blood. Furthermore, I shall be promptly sending Crania Games a bill for my newly hired psychologist.
Roots of Insanity is the debut title of Crania Games, a development studio based out of Turkey. You can tell the development team put a lot of tender love and care into their pilot endeavor, and I'm honestly excited to see what they do next. Their vibe is incredibly humble, and they seem to desire to not only provide a solid gaming experience but also share the process with their fans. If you visit their website, they offer a ton of information on how the game was born, and the ways they devised those completely gory images that are still bothering me when I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Roots of Insanity is a survival-horror FPS (first person shooter), with a lot of emphasis on survival; after all, you play as a doctor, not a Navy S.E.A.L.
You must play this title with that in mind. You begin the FPS in the obligatory generic hospital, and are startled by the aforementioned terror-stricken scream. This scream also just so happens to trigger an epileptic seizure for your character.
After regaining awareness, you, Dr. Riley McClein, find yourself in a nightmare. Nothing is as it should be; the hospital looks like a war zone, and the power is out. This release was perfect for me and my impatience, because pop-ups tell you precisely what to do and where to look throughout the campaign. I like this when I'm having the ish scared out of me. It becomes one less thing to worry about while you are making your way through the mess of a hospital. The oogy-boogies jump out at you immediately, and one of the more awkward parts of this game is that Dr. Riley McClein is not a fighter. I would guess that he was always picked last in gym class, as he is pretty much worthless. Evasion is best if possible, but even though you are told to evade, sometimes it is not at all possible, and you must stand and fight the zombies. Or rather, run like heck and fight whenever necessary.
As you work your way through the rubble, you will also be blasted by epileptic attacks. The protagonist always needs and searches for medication, and there is never enough — trust me. I know the combat vs. amount of drugs lying around has taken some criticism, but I was OK with it. This release does an excellent job of making an unrealistic event more realistic. C'mon: if we are really in the middle of a Zombie-Apocalypse mess, is the medication particular to your condition going to be lying about in piles with little "Eat Me" signs on it?! We're talking survival horror, folks. The key here is to survive.
As you progress through the hospital, clues start to surface that maybe not all is right here (other than the zombies, and dead bodies littering the place).
There's talk of experiments, along with super creepy flashes of an alternate reality appear before and during each seizure. As the seizures are happening, Dr. Riley glimpses images flickering in and out of sight. Be prepared, because when the attacks stop, the flickering images warp into monsters that are trying to rip out your throat. These flashes create quite an air of tension, as you wonder what is happening, and you begin to feel a bit crazy. The word "insanity" does appear in the title, after all. Your protagonist will find a camcorder; once you reach the dark areas [EN: Jurassic Park for the SNES], you will need this. Be aware — the batteries run out ridiculously fast, so use the camcorder sparingly.
Armed with a knife that the doctor uses like a child uses a stick to poke something yucky, rather than how a warrior wields a weapon to take down an enemy, you are sent back and forth to the hospital to find different objects and quest items. At one point, you have to go outside where, oh, horror, the cataclysm has spread. You eventually find a gun, but it can't be used indoors, and honestly, the gun is less effective than the melee option (...the stick-knife).
The biggest qualm I have with this survival-horror is that there is no map in Roots of Insanity, so even though there are clear directions on what to look for and where to go, nothing is telling you how to get there; you must rely on your memory. It became quite confusing at times, and there are certain periods it will be a little unclear as to what you need to do next.
If you want a good time killer, look no further. While there are obvious flaws, such as difficulty in combat, and balance in elements of gameplay, Roots of Insanity is replayable fun. I recommend playing with headphones; you will hear noises — scary noises — and it's impossible to decipher their location. I felt legitimate nervousness every time I opened a door (and there were a lot of doors). I got stuck quite a few times, swore quite a few more, and scared myself during the times I wasn't frustrated. I was taken somewhere else while playing Roots of Insanity and, while not the most original release, it has particular good points, and an interesting perspective — even after the game was done and finished, I was still not quite sure what had just happened. Instead of making me crazy with anger, it made me sigh and want more, as I roll my eyes at my own sadomasochistic nature.

Vivien Thomas was an African-American lab supervisor who developed a procedure to treat blue baby syndrome. Blue baby syndrome is a condition wherein newborn babies have bluishness in their bodies owing to congenital heart conditions. Born at a time when racism was at its peak, Thomas struggled hard to emerge as one of the leading cardiac surgery pioneers of his time. He worked as the assistant to Alfred Blalock, a famous heart surgeon at Vanderbilt University and later at Johns Hopkins University. He then continued as the supervisor of surgical laboratories in Johns Hopkins for nearly 35 years. Though he had supervised multiple heart surgeries and taught various world-famous heart surgeons, he was never allowed to operate on a living human being directly as he didn't have the necessary qualification to conduct it. After his retirement, he started working on his autobiography titled 'Pioneering Research in Surgical Shock and Cardiovascular Surgery: Vivien Thomas and His Work with Alfred Blalock'. In 2004, an HBO movie named 'Something the Lord Made,' which was based on the life of Vivien Thomas, was aired. Mos Def, an American actor, portrayed the role of Vivien in this movie.

Early Life & Childhood
Vivien Theodore Thomas was born on August 29, 1910, in New Iberia, Louisiana, as the son of Mary and William Maceo Thomas. His grandfather was a slave and his childhood was spent in poverty.
He graduated with honors from Pearl High School in Nashville in 1929. He wished to attend college but couldn't due to the Great Depression. Instead, he started working as a carpenter at Vanderbilt University but lost his job soon enough. He then enrolled himself as a premedical student in Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial College.

While Vivien Thomas was enrolled in Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial College, he had to abandon his education midway owing to the stock market crash of 1930. In the same year, he joined as a surgical research assistant under Dr. Alfred Blalock at Vanderbilt University. Within a short span of time, he started doing surgery on his own on animals.
Between 1930 and 1941, Thomas and Blalock did groundbreaking research looking into the causes of hemorrhagic and traumatic shock. This work later evolved into research on crush syndrome and saved the lives of thousands of soldiers on the battlefields of World War II.
During this period, both Blalock and Thomas started experimenting on vascular and cardiac surgeries, opposing various medical taboos against operating on the heart. It was this study that later helped them in performing the groundbreaking blue baby operation in Johns Hopkins.
In 1941, Thomas followed Dr. Blalock to Baltimore when the latter was appointed as the chair of surgery at The Johns Hopkins Medical School. It was at Hopkins that Thomas continued his research and was directly involved in the development of the Blalock-Taussig shunt used in blue baby operations.
The grounds for the first blue baby operation were set in 1943 when the renowned pediatric cardiologist Dr. Helen Taussig approached Blalock to seek a solution for the blue baby syndrome. Blalock assigned the responsibility to Thomas for creating blue-baby-like conditions in dogs and then correcting it by a procedure.
Thomas took two years and nearly two hundred dogs to demonstrate to Taussig and Blalock that the surgery was safe to be performed on humans.
The first blue baby operation was performed in 1944, in which Thomas was standing on a stool guiding Blalock in performing the procedure successfully. When the procedure was published in the following year, Thomas' name was never mentioned and the credit for the entire procedure was taken up by Blalock and Taussig.
In 1946, Thomas developed another surgical technique that helped in improving blood circulation in patients whose aorta and pulmonary arteries were transposed. The procedure was conducted so effortlessly and with such dexterity that Blalock appreciated him tremendously. After examining the undetectable suture lines, he went on to say the famous statement "Vivien, this looks like something the Lord made".
He continued to work in Johns Hopkins for 33 more years and in 1976, the university presented him with an honorary doctorate. Owing to certain restrictions, he was given an Honorary Doctor of Laws, not a medical doctorate. He was also appointed as an Instructor of Surgery.
Post his retirement in 1979, he started working on his autobiography that was published just after his death.
Family & Personal Life
In 1933, Vivien Thomas married Clara Flanders Thomas and had two daughters, Theodosia and Olga.
He died on November 26, 1985, due to pancreatic cancer.
Post his death, various awards and scholarships were given in his name to deserving people, such as the Vivien Thomas Young Investigator Awards that was started in 1996. It is given by the Council on Cardiovascular Surgery and Anesthesiology.
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Institute gives the Vivien Thomas Scholarship for Medical Science and Research in his honor.
In his remembrance, the Baltimore City Public School system opened the Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy in 2004.

INDIANAPOLIS—Butler University is set to hold the official groundbreaking for a new, state-of-the-art science complex.
The $100 million renovation and expansion is the largest capital project in the University's history. Consistent with the University's new strategic direction, which is set to be unveiled at a historic celebration at Clowes Memorial Hall Oct. 5, the new complex will promote learning by doing through new high-tech classrooms, will feature labs that mimic top research companies, and will encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration through work spaces. The facility will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of science, and eliminate labs designed for a single purpose. Classroom spaces will allow faculty to step away from a podium, and move among students in a more hands-on approach to instruction.
Phases I and II of the project are underway, with a predicted 18-month timeline. To date, $29.5 million has been raised for the project. The goal is to raise $42 million of the $100 million total cost through philanthropic support.
Butler Chair of the Board of Trustees Jay Sandhu will preside over an official groundbreaking ceremony on the Gallahue Hall Academic Quad. Here are the details:
Who: President James Danko; Chair of the Board of Trustees Jay Sandhu; Provost Kate Morris; President & CEO of the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation Claire Fiddian-Green; College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Dean Jay Howard; Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Sean Berthrong; Sophomore Biochemistry Major Madison Unger
What: Official groundbreaking for the $100 million sciences renovation and expansion project
When: Thursday, October 3 at 4:45 PM
Where: Butler University campus on the Gallahue Hall Academic Quad (please call Rachel Stern at 914-815-5656 if you have any trouble finding the location)
Why: Though work has already started on this project, Butler is holding an official groundbreaking to celebrate this historic renovation and expansion
The project starts with the creation of a connector building—linking Gallahue Hall and the Holcomb Building—that will house classrooms, study areas, and research labs dedicated to Chemistry, Astronomy, Physics, Engineering, and Psychology. Phase I will add nearly 44,000 square feet, as well as a nearly 13,200 square-foot atrium. This additional space will create a science corridor to house all of Butler's undergraduate science programs in a central complex.
Phase II of the project will include renovating and repurposing the Holcomb Building. Phase III will involve a complete renovation of Gallahue Hall, which currently houses several science departments and has not been renovated since its construction in 1973.
Sean Berthrong, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, says the new sciences complex will change the way he teaches. He will be able to do more innovative projects with his students in the classroom because there will no longer be physical barriers separating classrooms and lab spaces. That will enable him to literally bring his research into his classes.
"We will quite literally and metaphorically break down the walls between disciplines, between classwork and research, and between discovery and teaching," Berthrong says. "It will be amazing to have a building that is as ambitious and as interdisciplinary as our students and faculty."
Madison Unger, a sophomore Biochemistry major, says everyone at the University will benefit from this project, not just science majors like herself.
"This building will be a place where everyone will come to study, collaborate, hang out, and work together," says Unger, who plans to go to medical school after graduation. "There is so much excitement around this project because everyone knows it will give students the best chance to flourish."
The new complex will be the largest capital project in Butler history.

There's lots of focus on scholarship in this issue of Butler Magazine, and rightfully so. The importance of providing aspiring students with ample scholarship opportunities cannot be overstated. After all, affording others the opportunity to enjoy the Butler experience speaks directly to the altruistic culture that is The Butler Way.
So why am I so passionate about scholarships? Well, because I'm essentially on scholarship myself, thanks to the private gifts and support that make my existence as mascot a reality.
And like my fellow students who receive such backing, I've been able to leverage the opportunity to go on and do some really big things. Did you know that the Butler Blue Live Mascot Program has become a national benchmark for innovation and activation by other collegiate live mascots?
It's true, and none of that would be possible without strong support. So, thank you for supporting me and our great students. You're providing more than just scholarships, you're making an investment in our students' futures.

Playing for the Community
Dana Lee '19
The guitars are propped fretboard down, resting on the lap of each student. In a Lilly Hall classroom, about 20 kids ages 7–11 sit in chairs arranged in a circle, their feet barely touching the ground. One boy swings his legs to keep time as students around him slap the wooden backs of their guitars, the resulting sound imitating the drum beat in Wipeout.
It's one of their favorite songs—an upbeat, rolling, can't-get-it-out-of-your-head, surftown anthem from the '60s. It's also one of the songs the Butler Community Arts School (BCAS) summer guitar camp will play in a mini recital. At the beginning of the week, many of them had little to no experience playing guitar.
"Remember concert etiquette," says Brett Terrell, a Butler adjunct who serves as the guitar camp's artistic director. Along with Terrell, four Butler students provide instruction.
"Take a bow," Terrell says. He holds his guitar in an outstretched arm and the room follows his lead, folding at the waist. "One… two… three… and we're up."
An initiative of the Jordan College of the Arts, BCAS was founded to provide accessible arts instruction in the form of private lessons, group classes, and summer camps. Many are taught by Butler students serving as teaching fellows. Offered throughout the year, programs range from Intro to Stage Makeup to an adult Big-Band workshop.
"A community school by definition is to serve the general community population and to provide offerings that are accessible to everybody," says Karen Thickstun, MM '91, Director of BCAS. "That fits with Butler's mission, too—to make the arts accessible and to provide community experience for students so they gain a more diverse teaching perspective."
BCAS partners with about a dozen community sites that include Indianapolis Public Schools, charter schools, and United Way agencies like the Martin Luther King Center to provide classes off-campus. Altogether, programs reach as many as 2,000 participants yearly. More than half of the participants pay a reduced scholarship rate. Beyond the financial aspect, the school's mission to make the arts accessible extends to providing piano lessons for children with autism.
Inside Lilly Hall, guitar camp has been dismissed and the room is nearly empty. Near the front, teaching fellow Austin Sandoval '19 pulls up a chair to face 9-year-old Alyssa Weems.
It was Sandoval who first approached Thickstun two years ago and asked why BCAS didn't offer summer guitar camp for beginners. Her response: "Well, why don't we create one?" After graduating this past May, Sandoval stayed at Butler and is pursuing a master's degree in guitar.
"Being able to teach as an undergraduate student has prepared me so well for what the real world is going to be," Sandoval says.
Sandoval gestures at one of Weems's wayward fingers.
"Take this one off," Sandoval says, and Weems adjusts accordingly. "Now, press down a little harder."
He plays the first line of Wipeout and Weems mirrors the movements of his fingers on her own guitar. Her mom, Alicia, watches nearby. Alyssa and her brother have taken piano lessons through BCAS at the International School of Indiana for the past two years, and when Alyssa's older brother started to learn guitar, she wanted to play too.
"I was amazed," Alicia says. "After the first day she came home and played Jingle Bells."
Sandoval and Weems play through the melody of Wipeout once more. By the second time around, Weems hardly needs to look at Sandoval for cues. She finishes the rest of the song on her own.
Since 2002, Butler Community Arts School has given nearly a half million lessons to more than 11,000 students.

INDIANAPOLIS—Chatham Tap, a family-friendly restaurant and pub with two locations in the Indianapolis area, will soon open a third location on the Butler University campus. The addition will fill the space at the intersection of Sunset Avenue and Lake Road, which previously housed Scotty's Brewhouse before the chain closed in July 2019.
Chatham Tap opened its first pub 12 years ago on Mass Ave. Three years after that, a second location launched in downtown Fishers.
"And we have been searching ever since for the right place to open a third one," says David Pentzien, one of three Chatham Tap owners.
Pentzien says the restaurant is designed to feel like a friendly neighborhood pub. Rooted in English culture, it caters especially to soccer fans looking for a place to watch their favorite games.
"We intend to warm up the space so you get the true feeling of an English pub," he says.
But with an extensive offering of craft and import beers, along with a menu focused on a wide range of sandwiches and starters, Chatham Tap draws all kinds of guests through its doors. Offerings also include soup, salad, award-winning wings, pizza, burgers, and the house speciality—fish and chips.
Bruce Arick, the Vice President of Finance & Administration at Butler, says the owners of Chatham Tap have been delightful to work with throughout the whole process.
"We are excited to welcome Chatham Tap to our campus," he says. "Both for the Butler community and our neighbors, I believe this space will be a great environment for people to create valuable connections and build relationships—all while enjoying meals from a quality menu. We're also thrilled to be supporting the Indianapolis community by embracing local ownership."
Butler and Chatham Tap finalized a lease for the space in late August, and if all goes as planned, Pentzien expects to be open for business by the end of October. They anticipate employing approximately 50 people at the restaurant, with at least two of the General Managers having an ownership interest at the location.
The space will maintain the same indoor footprint as Scotty's had, but Chatham Tap plans to increase the amount of outdoor seating. The location's conference room will continue to be available for private parties and business meetings.
"We think this can be a great nexus between the neighborhood and the university," Pentzien says. "We're going to come in with a game plan, but we're going to evolve quickly to meet the needs of the people who come to call Chatham Tap at Butler their place to gather."
Hours for the new location:
Monday–Thursday, 11:00 AM–midnight
Friday, 11:00 AM–1:00 AM
Saturday, 11:00 AM–1:00 AM
Sunday, 11:00 AM–11:00 PM
As is tradition for Chatham Tap, the location will also open early (and serve breakfast) for key weekend soccer matches and stay open late for Butler cultural or athletics events.
Local pub's third location will encourage connection between Butler and surrounding neighborhood.

Just because something's green doesn't mean it's good, says Rebecca Dolan, former Director of the Friesner Herbarium at Butler University. Some plants invade areas in harmful ways, driving out native species that are essential to healthy, diverse ecosystems. In Indianapolis, one major culprit hides behind a guise of sweet-smelling innocence: Amur honeysuckle.
Back in the 1950s, the flower-and-berry-covered shrub was introduced throughout Midwestern urban areas, promoted by the USDA Soil Conservation Service (now known as the Natural Resources Conservation Service) as a beneficial plant that would grow quickly, help stabilize soil, and reduce erosion.
"But it turns out that it spreads too quickly," Dolan explains. "It got out of control. And it creates a monoculture of one species that blocks out native plants that are more valuable in the landscape from an ecological perspective."
When city leaders recognized the invasive nature of the honeysuckle, several organizations started removing the shrubs on a large scale. Dolan retired from Butler last year, but she has continued her decades-long study of this species and the ongoing efforts to eliminate it from areas around the city. Most recently, she received a $7,500 grant from the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park at Newfields to assess the progress of ecological restoration that began there in the early 2000s.
Dolan first started research at the Art & Nature Park in 2002, when she was hired by Indy Greenways to inventory vegetation near what is now the Central Canal Towpath. Then in 2004, as the Indianapolis Museum of Art was taking over the Art & Nature Park, Dolan worked with Butler Biological Science Professor Travis Ryan, Herbarium Assistant Marcia Moore, and Biological Science Professor Carmen Salsbury to conduct additional vegetation and wildlife surveys in the area. Now, Dolan and Moore are going back to see what's changed.
To do this, the researchers will tally and analyze the plant species along five transects—or linear sections of land—that were examined in the original study. Dolan will compare the findings with data gathered in 2004, assessing what has changed in the quality of the habitat as a result of restoration efforts.
She hopes to determine whether the honeysuckle removal has been successful: Is the plant gone, or are there still traces that could grow back? And if it has been eliminated, what's replacing it? Are desirable native species coming in strong, or has it just been replaced by another kind of invader?
When invasive plant species take over an area, Dolan says it affects everything living there. For example, the honeysuckle makes nesting more difficult for Indy's native birds, and its berries aren't healthy to eat.
"It's like fruit candy for the birds," she explains, "whereas our native shrubs, like spicebush, produce berries that are high in oils—a better energy source for birds that are going to migrate back south in the winter."
The honeysuckle also drives away pollinator insects that specialize in native plants.
"When the native plants go—the spring wildflowers and the native shrubs—then those specialist insects lose their hosts," Dolan says. "It cascades down, and then the birds that would eat the insects don't come to the area. And it continues on."
Invasive plants disrupt habitats in ways that threaten ecological resilience. This can lead to problems such as flooding or erosion. Contrary to what people thought when Amur honeysuckle was first introduced, the plants don't stabilize the soil at all. Their roots are too shallow, and their leaves block a lot of sunlight from getting to the soil. This, combined with chemicals released from the honeysuckle's leaves and roots, prevents many native plants from growing.
So, are efforts to remove the honeysuckle working?
Dolan has yet to analyze data from Newfields—that report will be finished by the end of 2019. But she has been conducting similar research over the last five years in areas along Indy's Fall Creek, where the nonprofit group Keep Indianapolis Beautiful had organized a community project to remove the honeysuckle invading there.
According to Dolan's findings, the richness of the area's plant life has more than doubled since 2012, mostly with native species. While overall habitat quality has shown some improvement, seeds brought in by wind and animals introduced eight new invasive plants. Early detection of these invasives will make controlling them easier, and she will continue monitoring the area.
At Newfields, junior Butler Biology major Torey Kazeck had the chance to help collect data over three weeks at the end of the summer. As she plans to pursue a PhD after graduating, she was excited to gain more hands-on experience in the field.
"I hope this work helps the community see what invasive species do, and why we should remove them," Kazeck says.
Few similar studies existed before Dolan's surveillance of honeysuckle removal, especially near urban waterways, despite evidence of the harmful impacts invasive shrubs can have in these environments. Because soil health along rivers and streams can impact water quality, Dolan—who was on the Ecology Committee for Reconnecting to Our Waterways—saw the importance of documenting the restoration process.
During much of her time at Butler, Dolan focused on traveling to rural areas to study rare plants. But when she started seeing the value of looking at what was in her own backyard, she got more involved with urban flora research.
She says more urban communities are starting to see how protecting local ecosystems can help defend against climate change effects. While Indianapolis doesn't deal with more obvious problems like sea level rise, the city does have issues with flooding, erosion, and heat. Establishing more green spaces in urban areas can reduce these threats, Dolan says, but that will only work if the plants filling those spaces can get along with one another.
Through collaboration and strong partnerships, Butler Beyond will unleash the potential of our brilliant faculty and students on the complex issues facing our community. Support for this pillar will expand Butler's reach and roots in the Indianapolis community and beyond by cultivating deeper integration with local organizations and businesses, increasing experiential learning opportunities for students, nurturing new ventures, and more.

INDIANAPOLIS—The new building for Butler University's Andre B. Lacy School of Business (LSB) is officially open.
After nearly two years of construction, the 110,000-square-foot building is now ready to serve a student population on the rise, along with the local, regional, and national business community.
The building is central to Butler's 2020 strategic vision to make the University a leader in business, innovation, technology, and student-centered experiences that prepare graduates to pursue fulfilling careers and make a positive impact.
"It is a physical manifestation of a culture in which faculty and staff work in true partnerships with business leaders for the benefit of our students," says LSB Dean Steve Standifird.
With a curriculum steeped in hands-on experience, adaptability, and student-faculty engagement, LSB has grown its enrollment by 60 percent in the last five years. As a result, the new building is about six times larger than the business school's previous home in the Holcomb Building. LSB will serve 1,150 undergraduate business students this year.
The building will also be home to Butler's Career and Professional Success office, which serves the entire Butler student body and includes the FirstPerson Interview Suite, featuring private interview rooms, work space, and a lounge for recruiters.
The $50 million building is complete, but fundraising efforts are ongoing as the University seeks to name the building. Support for the project has come from both the Butler community and beyond. Four of the top donors to date are not Butler graduates, but they invested due to their belief that LSB is making a strong impact on the Indianapolis business community.
The Old National Bank Center for Closely Held Business, for example, connects local businesses with resources and advisors. And the Butler Business Consulting Group works directly with companies to solve business challenges.
The building will allow such partnerships to expand and will foster new program offerings, new centers, and new relationships with employers and business leaders. The Innovation Commons space, for example, was modeled after The Speak Easy spaces in Indianapolis and designed to facilitate collaborations between LSB and business community members. The new building's cafe was added to encourage visitors to stay.
"Our goal was to create a space where there is no line between where the classroom ends and the business community begins," Standifird says.
"Andre and Julia Lacy had an incredible philanthropic vision," said Butler President James Danko. "They wanted to enrich learning experiences for young people; support experiential curricula that emphasize family-run businesses, innovation, and leading with integrity; and to invest in our city and state. We are honored to carry out the legacy they intended. I only wish they were here to see their vision come to fruition and to see how excited Butler students are about learning in this extraordinary new building."
The space designed to inspire collaboration between LSB and the business community is now open.

When China weakens its currency, lowering the yuan's value in comparison with the U.S. dollar, what exactly does that mean for America? It seems like the move would only damage the Chinese economy, right?
Even if the yuan's sliding value does hurt China in some ways, says Butler University Professor of Economics Bill Rieber, it could be a strategic play in the ongoing trade war between China and the United States.
"And in the concept of a war," Rieber says, "no one is really gaining."
Rieber, an expert in international economics whose research focuses mostly on Asian economies, explains that a weaker Chinese currency means cheaper Chinese products. This seems appealing on the surface—American companies who trade with China can buy more for less money. And the savings trickle all the way down to consumers, who pay less for the final product.
But for businesses selling American-made goods, that competition can be hard to beat. Rieber says products might need to be priced cheaper than they would be otherwise, which essentially ends up lowering the wages of some American workers.
In response, President Donald Trump has placed tariffs on Chinese imports, trying to make these otherwise cheap goods less appealing. But China is playing the same game, Rieber explains. The nation's recent decision to stop buying U.S. agricultural products threatens a vulnerable part of the American economy, which Rieber says could put a new kind of tension on Trump.
"It may be that [China is] trying to retaliate in those states that were big supporters of President Trump during the election," he says. "They are trying to hurt agriculture in the Midwest."
But Su-Mei Ooi, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Butler and an expert in U.S.-China relations, says we should be careful not to make assumptions about China's adversarial intentions toward the U.S. Within her studies about the ways China is depicted within American political rhetoric, she's found U.S. politicians and media outlets often villainize China in a way that exacerbates conflict between the two countries.
For example, Ooi's research has analyzed whether China intentionally devalues its currency to give Chinese exports an unfair advantage and make it impossible for the U.S. to close the trade deficit it has with China. She says American leaders often frame it that way, painting China as "a cheat" in order to justify their own actions in the trade war. In the past, China has devalued the yuan to give Chinese goods a competitive advantage, but Ooi says this no longer holds true.
"There was a time when China was manipulating its currency," she says, "but that has been long gone. In fact, more recently, economists have claimed that China's currency is overvalued compared to similar economies."
That's because China's government has been intervening in currency markets, buying and selling currencies in ways that have made the yuan's value artificially high. This is the very opposite of what they are being accused of now, Ooi says. She explains that the yuan's recent drop in value was actually an appropriate market response to the new round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods.
Villainized ideas about China within "popular imagination" have fueled a lot of unfounded anti-Chinese sentiment among Americans, Ooi says. And that's what has helped U.S. leaders justify their actions in the trade war.
"There needs to be some kind of justification, right?" she says. "Some kind of rally around the flag effect to motivate people to suck up the costs of this trade war. And I think it's the use of these kinds of tropes that perpetuate misunderstanding and allow the current administration to do that."
Ooi explains that this political technique of "othering"—capitalizing on fear of difference to unite supporters—is nothing new. But she says within Trump's presidency, it's been a little more blatant, fueling long-held stereotypes about China.
"These are powerful assumptions that we hold that we don't question," she says. "'Oh, of course China is a rival power and must want to dislodge us from our pedestal.' But this may or may not be true—we are inferring China's intentions from a deep-seated fear of our own decline."
Two Butler professors explain what's going on in the trade relationship between the United States and China.
Indianapolis, IN (August 6, 2019) – Today, Butler University Executive Education announced the launch of a data analytics boot camp, in partnership with leading workforce accelerator Trilogy Education. Geared toward adult learners and working professionals, the Butler Executive Education Data Analytics Boot Camp teaches the analytical, technical, and teamwork skills necessary to become a proficient data professional.
The 24-week, part-time program begins November 19, 2019 and includes two, three-hour evening classes during the week (6:30 to 9:30 PM) and a four-hour class on Saturdays (10:00 AM to 2:00 PM). Enrollment is now open at bootcamp.butler.edu.
"Butler University Executive Education has partnered with Trilogy Education to help meet the ever-growing demand for data professionals in Indianapolis," said William Gulley, Executive Director of Butler Executive Education. "Collectively, Butler University and Trilogy will aid students with rigorous, hands-on coursework, and an excellent support structure that will feed the city's increasingly data-driven economy."
The ability to create actionable insights from complex data sets has become a universal need across businesses in every industry. According to data from Burning Glass, Indianapolis employers struggled to fill more than 23,000 open roles in the last year alone requiring some level of data proficiency. Nationally, roles like data scientist, business analyst, and research analyst rank among the fastest-growing professions.
"The number of job openings in Indianapolis requiring data analytics skills was 53 percent higher in 2018 than the year before," said Dan Sommer, CEO and Founder of Trilogy Education. "Butler University recognizes that this growth in demand is creating a gap between the skills companies need and the ability of Indianapolis' workforce to supply those skills at scale. We're excited to partner with Butler to help increase the city's pipeline of data-savvy talent."
Pairing Butler's strengths with Trilogy's market-driven data analytics curriculum offers students of the new program both the competence and confidence to succeed as data professionals. The program's curriculum covers everything from data programming to data storytelling and helps students build proficiency in technologies like Excel, Tableau, Python, Pandas, SQL, MongoDB, JavaScript, basic machine learning, and more.
In addition to classroom instruction, students will spend a minimum of 20 hours a week on outside projects, homework, and experiential learning activities, ranging from visualizing bike sharing data in Indianapolis to mapping worldwide earthquakes in real-time. They'll build a professional project portfolio to showcase their abilities and hone their competitive edge in the employment market. Students will also receive a range of career-planning services, portfolio reviews, recruiting assistance, and extensive staff support.
Boot Camp students will gain the knowledge and skills to conduct robust analytics on real-world problems and receive a Certificate in Data Analytics from Butler Executive Education.

Through a partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), two Butler University professors are helping mothers stay informed.
Eileen Taylor, an Instructor in Communication and Media Studies, first started working with Associate Professor of Sociology Krista Cline about five years ago. After meeting at a Brown Bag Series event where Cline presented her research on the unattainable expectations mothers often face, the two women—one from the College of Communication and the other from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences—saw a chance to combine their expertise on a shared project.
Their initial research included a survey of the moms of high school student athletes within the state of Indiana, with the goal of understanding moms' perspectives of their children's participation in extracurricular activities. Now, a $361,007, ten-year longitudinal grant from Indianapolis-based membership organization NFHS will allow them to expand that research nationwide.
Cline, who has studied various kinds of role strain, says even mothers with full-time jobs usually cover most responsibilities at home. When a child is involved in activities outside the classroom, that can add even more strain.
"As I became a parent myself," Cline says, "I started to recognize that the literature out there that says, 'We put all these expectations onto moms, especially working moms,' is true. We expect them to give 100 percent at home, and we expect them to give 100 percent at work, and those two worlds can't merge."
The original research, which Cline and Taylor plan to publish soon, focused on the roles mothers usually serve in high school athletics and how mothers felt about themselves as a result of that involvement. Also, did moms believe participation in athletics benefited their children?
Yes, according to responses from nearly 450 mothers across the state. And beyond just the competencies and education these activities create for students (such as team-building or problem-solving), most mothers loved the chance to get involved and watch their children grow. That's called role enhancement: when mom's felt like they were doing something good for their kids by getting them involved in sports.
Other moms, however, felt a sense of role strain. These parents felt like their kids' extracurricular participation created too much to balance, especially when it came to time and finances. They often felt unsupported and uninformed. That's where Taylor and Cline's new research is expected to come in.
By learning more about the experience of mothers, this study will provide insight on how to better communicate with and support them. Why do some moms of high school athletes feel role strain? What information do they need? How can NFHS, which works to develop and standardize high school sports and performing arts organizations across the country, collaborate with mothers to provide more support for whole families?
On July 23, leaders and students from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) gathered on Butler University's campus to celebrate the organization's partnership with professors Eileen Taylor and Krista Cline. They signed a $361,007-grant, which will fund a national study of mothers' experiences regarding their high school students' participation in extracurricular activities.
Throughout the study, the researchers will follow the perspectives of mothers from the start of their student-athletes' freshman year though the end of their first 90 days in the workforce following high school or college.
Drawing on Taylor and Cline's research over the next 10 years, NFHS members plan to develop a better system for communicating with mothers, who they hope will become a point of messaging for the NFHS within every household. The organization will also use the research as evidence of the benefits of participation in high school extracurricular activities, and they hope to go through mothers to educate student athletes about the reasoning behind rules and academic requirements. This should help improve relationships between parents and athletic officials, as well as make sure families have all the necessary information to make informed decisions about their students' futures.
For example, when Taylor's first child played football in high school, she didn't find out until the end of his last season that athletic scholarships for college have academic eligibility requirements. While most mothers in the initial research did know about these requirements, Taylor says many didn't understand quite how competitive those athletic scholarships are. She hopes the system this research helps create will help mothers make more informed decisions when encouraging their kids to play sports, spreading the understanding that while athletic scholarships might be tough to get, sports teach valuable skills that students will take into college and beyond.
Taylor explained that the focus on mothers came from the idea that, when it comes to high school athletics, fathers are often involved in more obvious ways. Moms, on the other hand, tend to be part of a "silent organization" that's involved in more nuanced ways: transportation, food preparation, laundry, and so on.
"Mothers are kind of the biggest pieces of their children's extracurricular athletic lives in high school," Cline says. "Oftentimes, they're the ones getting their kids to practices and games. They're the ones putting the money in for their kids to participate. But they are often overlooked."
Based on the idea that moms tend to be the closest and most consistent messengers to students, Taylor and Cline want to help make sure athletic officials include moms in more intentional, valuable ways.
"It's research of moms, by moms, with diversity of perspective," Taylor says.

To understand media mergers like the proposed one between Gannett and GateHouse Media, Nancy Whitmore says "you need to understand the state newspapers are in. And it is a sad state."
Whitmore, a Professor of Communication at Butler University, explains that mergers are often meant to help papers hold on long enough to figure out a more permanent business model for surviving the digital age. In the time when local print papers provided the main source of information, advertising dollars were key. Now, as most of that money goes to big technology companies such as Google and Facebook, more newspapers have tried to hold their ground with funding from subscriptions. Whitmore says this model mostly works for larger national outlets, but local newspapers struggle to convert readers into digital subscribers.
So mid-sized and smaller papers are "really in a tight spot." Gannett and GateHouse both focus on these sorts of local outlets.
Horizontal mergers between similar companies can help save money, often by combining and sharing human resources, editing, design, and printing teams. The combined company would also be able to boast a more widespread audience—a draw for advertisers looking to reach the most people.
But good journalism will still be expensive, and combining companies usually means cutting jobs. Whitmore says it's hard to tell how many layoffs a Gannett-GateHouse merger could cause, since most local newsrooms are already spread thin, but some job cuts would be likely. And there would be consequences.
"I think we are almost at a crisis point here," she says. "If you're not getting local journalism, you are losing the independent voice that is monitoring those in power."
According to Pew Research Center, the number of Americans working in the newspaper industry has been slashed almost in half since the early 2000s. Wages are down, closures are up, and many of the papers that survive have started to publish less frequently.
While mergers and acquisitions can keep some struggling outlets on their feet, about 1,300 communities in the United States have lost local newspaper coverage altogether.
Whitmore says ethical concerns sometimes surround the idea of big companies owning so many media outlets, but a financial need to merge for the survival of local journalism might start to outweigh those worries. Plus, since GateHouse and Gannett own mostly local papers that aren't in direct competition with one another, Whitmore says combining the two companies might not raise regulatory concerns.
"But mergers are expensive," she goes on to explain, "and they don't always work out well. You've got different cultures—different ways of doing things. It's not always smooth sailing."
Whitmore predicts that, if anything holds back a merger between Gannett and GateHouse, it will probably be the financing. Given the already-dismal state of local outlets, she's not sure a deal can be done. But for the sake of local newspapers, she hopes it works.
Because without journalism, even at the most local level, Whitmore says communities will be left vulnerable to "people in power doing unseemly things."
Nancy Whitmore (Professor of Communication at Butler University) specializes in research and teaching about the laws, ethics, and economics surrounding the media industry.
Nancy Whitmore says merger of Gannett and GateHouse Media could help save money, but at a cost.
Of the 37 climate scientists Carol Reeves has interviewed across the United States, all of them feel a moral obligation to help save the planet. All of them want to tell the world how bad things will get if we don't take better care of our Earth. The thing is, not all of them have the right words to make people listen.
An English Professor at Butler University, Reeves studies how climate scientists communicate with one another, with policy makers, and with the public about their research findings. While not a climate scientist herself, she teaches courses about the rhetoric and language of science. Through working with students on how to talk about climate change, as well as through interviewing climate scientists over the past several years, Reeves has learned about the nuanced challenges scientists often face in discussing their research.
"In science, you don't talk about absolute facts: You talk about evidence," Reeves says. "But normal people listen to dramatic claims. They have trouble getting that we have loads of evidence from research to support that we are heading into a really terrible time if we don't do anything about it. We are going to have more extremes, more heat waves and draughts, more heavy rains, more wildfires, and stronger hurricanes."
Reeves says we might view this summer's heat waves as a sort of "test run" for what climate scientists are warning about the future, and how that heat will continue to affect us.
"Extreme and prolonged high temperatures place an enormous burden on communities and citizens, especially the most vulnerable," she says. "If you're wealthy enough to be sitting in your cooled home, you may dismiss this very clear sign of climate change. But if you're poor, or if you have to work outdoors, you probably wish someone would get to work on the problem."
Starting in 2008, Reeves decided to start conducting interviews with climate scientists to gain more background for the unit of her class that discusses climate change. She focused on those scientists involved in writing climate assessment reports for the United Nations—reports that analyze where the climate is now, and what will probably happen in the future. These scientists also look at how climate change is already affecting the Earth, and they build recommendations for what humans can do to help.
Researchers see a stark future in the data, but they struggle to spread the word. Reeves says policy makers and members of the public often misunderstand the concept of climate change, especially the way scientists talk about it. This has caused climatologists to sometimes disagree among themselves about what kind of language to use when sharing their research.
"You have a set of data," she says, "but you have to write about that data, and you have to decide how strong your language is going to be."
Reeves explains that scientists need to balance the ethical responsibility to stay within their data with their desire to help the public understand.
"It is a tenuous balance between explaining the science in a simple and clear way without simplifying and over-stating," she says.
But it doesn't matter what the studies show if people don't want to think about the future. Scientists want to convince the population that, even though we are facing so many other problems, we need to put climate change at the top of the list. They just aren't sure how.

Fiscal year 2019 was a banner year for philanthropy at Butler University, with 15,823 generous graduates and friends contributing $41.4 million, representing the second highest fundraising total in the past 10 years. The gifts will bolster academic programs, enhance student life initiatives, and support Butler Athletics, cementing Butler's status as the No. 1 regional university in the Midwest, a distinction made this year in U.S. News & World Report's Best College Rankings.
The new building for the Andre B. Lacy School of Business (LSB) was one of the fiscal year's landmark achievements. Twelve Founders Circle donor families each made $1 million gifts to lead the fundraising effort, which has totaled more than $21 million to support construction of the building. The atrium of the new building will be named in honor of these donors' visionary investment in Butler's future and the lives of future business students.
On June 7, the University marked another milestone as the Board of Trustees approved a $100 million renovation and expansion of Butler's sciences complex. With the help of generous lead donors, more than $27 million has already been raised toward the total $42 million fundraising goal. Butler will hold a formal groundbreaking ceremony for the project this fall, but work is beginning immediately.
In another major infrastructure project this year, Butler announced a second phase of renovations to Hinkle Fieldhouse estimated to cost $10.5 million. To date, $10.1 million of that total has been raised through generous philanthropic support. The renovations began in May and will include enhancements to the Efroymson Family Gym and the men's soccer locker room. The installation of an HVAC system will provide air conditioning for the main court, the concourses, and the Efroymson Family Gym.
Butler's most dedicated donors also were recognized during the fiscal year. In September, the University celebrated the launch of the inaugural Carillon Society, which honors individuals who have made cumulative gifts of $100,000. The celebration inducted 248 honorees into the Carillon Society—representing more than $73 million in philanthropic support that has impacted nearly every corner of the University. Additionally, eight new plaques were unveiled on Cornerstone Plaza, recognizing the generosity of those whose cumulative giving has reached $1 million or more.
"This level of generosity demonstrates the incredible loyalty of our alumni, faculty, staff, and community, and the commitment we share to advancing Butler's mission of providing the highest quality liberal arts education," says Butler President James Danko. "Philanthropic support helps us to more effectively advance integrated learning in business, science, innovation, and technology. We are grateful for the many partners who have placed their trust in Butler and invested in the lives of our students with their gifts."
Butler employees showed significant generosity this year, providing gifts totaling $1,042,196 from 599 faculty and staff donors, up from 424 faculty and staff donors in FY18 and 349 in FY17. This total indicates 59 percent of full-time Butler employees made a gift to the University in FY19 in a powerful demonstration of support for the institution's mission and vision.
Butler's annual Day of Giving marked its fourth year in record-setting fashion. The University raised $311,183—a 159 percent increase from its inaugural year in FY16. Of special note, this year's Day of Giving raised $21,899 for the Butler Emergency Assistance Fund, which provides gift assistance to students with short-term, unforeseen financial hardships that might impact their academic success at the University. The Fund was a new initiative in FY19 that has already provided assistance to 16 students thanks to donor support.
"Exciting things are happening at Butler, and we're grateful to the donors and community partners who have come alongside us this year with their support and enthusiasm," says Jonathan Purvis, Vice President for University Advancement. "Philanthropic partners are making a difference in the lives of our students every day by establishing scholarships, providing resources for our outstanding faculty, investing in state-of-the-art facilities, and supporting community partnerships that enrich student learning. Butler donors are absolutely integral to our students' success and the impact we make in the community."
