Schmidt, Touch, Neitz, Neitz (2016). J Vis
Color appearance, genetic and optical data. Notes: L cone sensitivities were based on the sequence of each subjects L pigment. Amino acids reported: exon 2—65, 111, 116; exon 3—153, 171, 174, 180; and exon 4—230, 233, 236. For females with two L sequences, the peak sensitivity of both pigments was averaged to compute the reported peak L cone sensitivity. All subjects had M cone peak values of 530 nm. All subjects identified as Caucasian except subjects U12 and U13, who were of Asian ethnicity.Data were published in the appendix of Schmidt, Touch, Neitz, Neitz (2016). "Circuitry to explain how the relative number of L and M cones shapes color experience." They published here for easier access.</div

Autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper speaks at the Michigan Writers Series
In an appearance at the Michigan State University Main Library, autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper talks about his career at the General Motors Truck and Bus Plant in Flint, Michigan and reads from various works, including his forward to the book "Working words: punching the clock and kicking out the jams" by M. L. Liebler and from his most famous work, "Rivethead", a cynical and humorous view of life in an auto plant. A question and answer session follows. Hamper is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series

Bridging scholarly theory and forensic practice: toward a more pedagogical model of rhetorical criticism
Brian Ott was a professor in the Department of Speech Communication at Colorado State University.Includes bibliographical references (pages 71-74).In this essay, the author contends that competitors in the event of rhetorical criticism, or communication analysis (CA) as it is alternatively called, are locked into a model that poses serious questions about the educational value of the event. In an effort to narrow the ever widening gap between theory and practice and to heighten the pedagogical value of contest rhetorical criticism, the author proposes to chart briefly the chief features of the existing RC model, to identify the limitations posed by that model, and to suggest several viable alternatives
Creative Dramatics Emphasizing Brian Way\u27s Approach
The goal of this study was to define creative dramatics, discuss the work being done by selected representatives in the field, and to analyze the work of Brian Way to discover key approaches to his method of creative dramatics. Brian Way is a pioneer in creative dramatics and integration of the arts. Since 1943 he has worked with children in drama. He has traveled all over the world in recent years leading workshops to help teachers guide children in the area of creative dramatics. The author has extracted a series of conclusions and observations about Way\u27s techniques in creative dramatics by participating in two of Way’s workshops; studying a series of ten audio tapes and one video tape; reading Dr. Ronald Wood\u27s dissertation “The Evolution of Brian Way\u27s Participational Theatre”; and analysis of Way\u27s two texts, Development Through Drama and Audience participation. Some of these conclusions include Way\u27s: three-step approach to creative dramatics, involvement with process and not end product, and use of a totally non-evaluative mode of expression
