...College working groups, chaired by Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds, met together once as a larger group in late May and have not received any communications since...
...Couture is a pioneer of his sport, an MMA legend who helped take the sport mainstream. Before joining the UFC in the late '90s, he spent six years in the Army, and was an assistant wrestling coach at Oregon State University. Somehow, he seems to be getting better with age. Couture reclaimed a heavyweight championship after coming out of yearlong retirement in 2007, though he lost his last fight, in November, to current UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar. He's broken an arm, his nose, and suffered an orbital fracture in previous fights, but swears he's pain-free...

The campaign in the late 1960s and early '70s called for an end to discrimination against Catholics in housing and employment and was closely associated with Derry. After Bloody Sunday in 1972 - when 13 civilians were shot dead by the British army during a civil-rights march in Derry - Kennedy's position on Northern Ireland noticeably hardened. His comparisons of Northern Ireland with Vietnam and his calls for a British withdrawal from the province angered Protestants, many of whom came...
