Many persons involved or commenting on the case, including prosecutor Mike Nifong , called the alleged assault a hate crime or suggested it might be one. On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges and declared the three players innocent. Cooper stated that the charged players Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans were victims of a “tragic rush to accuse.” The initial prosecutor for the case, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, who had been denounced as a “rogue prosecutor” by Cooper, withdrew from the case in January 2007 after the North Carolina State Bar filed ethics charges against him. That June, Nifong was disbarred for “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation”, making Nifong the first prosecutor in North Carolina history to lose his law license based on actions in a case. Nifong was found guilty of criminal contempt and served one day in jail. Cooper pointed to

American Indian Sports Heritage $35 “From scenes of Senecas playing snow snake and Cheyennes competing in chungke, to the exploits of Olympian runner Billy Mills and Yankee pitcher Allie Reynolds, Oxendine has compiled a useful compendium of information on traditional Indian games and the entry of Native Americans into modern collegiate and professional sports, especially during the ‘heyday’ period between 1890 and 1930.”-Choice. “Neither the highly commercialized nature of professional sports today nor the more casual attitude prevailing in amateur activities captures the essence of Indian sport,” writes Joseph B. Oxendine. Through sport, Indians sought blessings from a higher spirit. Sport that evolved from religious rites retained a spiritual dimension, as seen in the attitude and manner of preparing and participating. In American Indian Sports Heritage, Oxendine discusses the history and importance in everyday life of ball games (especially lacrosse), running, archery, swimming, snow snake, hoop-and-pole, and games of chance. Indians gained nationwide visibility as athletes in baseball and football; the teams at boarding schools such as the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania and the Haskell Institute in Kansas were especially famous. Oxendine describes the apex of Indian sports during the first three decades of the twentieth century and chronicles the decline since. He looks at the career of the legendary Jim Thorpe and provides brief biographies of other Indian athletes before and after 1930. Joseph B. Oxendine, a Lumbee who grew up in a segregated Indian community in North Carolina, played professional baseball for three years prior to completing his doctoral degree at Boston University. He is chancellor of Pembroke State University and has published extensively in the fields of motor learning and sport psychology. Oxendine has provided a new afterword for this Bison Books edition.

Art for Art’s Sake: Meredith’s Story $9.99 High school senior Meredith Bedford is a social outcast. Her family recently moved from the Catskill Mountains to the sprawling suburbs of Albany, the capital of New York State. Shy and self-conscious about her acne scars, she stays to herself and tries to remain invisible. Her twelve-year-old brother, Mikey, has Down Syndrome and she tries hard not to blame her troubles on him. Despite verbal and sometimes physical harassment, she survives because she has her art. She was selected to be part of the elite Advanced Placement art class and is quite good at capturing the emotions of her subjects in her portraits. Art is the one thing, besides her family, that helps her cope with her outcast status. One day, at a senior class meeting, she sees Dani Lassiter, president of the senior class, captain of the lacrosse team, and knows that she must paint this enigmatic young woman. One class period later, Dani manipulates things to have Meredith as her partner for a history project. Meredith is suspicious of Dani’s motives, but takes a chance. And it pays off. Meredith slowly sheds her invisibility cloak and allows Dani in – a little at a time. They explore an old Victorian house for their history project and become close with Esther and Millie, the two older women who own the house and who’ve lived together for about forty years. But, when Dani reveals to Meredith that she is gay, Meredith simply can’t deal with the news. How had she not known? What is it that won’t allow her come to terms with this unexpected news? Will Meredith control her own homophobia or will she reject the one person who had taken a chance on her and made her feel human?

Lacrosse: A History of the Game $40 Donald M. Fisher,Hardcover, English-language edition,Pub by Johns Hopkins University Press

Lacrosse: A History of the Game $13.35 North America’s Indian peoples have always viewed competitive sport as something more than a pastime. The northeastern Indians’ ball-and-stick game that would become lacrosse served both symbolic and practical functions. Today a multimillion-dollar industry, lacrosse is played by colleges and high schools, amateur clubs, and two professional leagues.In Lacrosse, Donald M. Fisher traces the evolution of the sport from the pre-colonial era to the founding in 2001 of a professional outdoor league, told through the stories of the people behind each step in lacrosse’s development. They include the Canadian dentist George Beers, father of the modern game; Rosabelle Sinclair, who played a large role reinforcing the feminine qualities of the women’s game in the 1950s; and Indian star Gaylord Powless, who in the 1960s endured racist taunts both on and off the field.”This book will long serve as the standard history of lacrosse.”— Journal of American History”An important contribution to our understanding of how sport emerged as a professional, commercial spectacle in modern North America.”— Canadian Historical Review”A sweeping history of the game. Fisher traces the emergence of modern lacrosse in both Canada and the United States.”— Library Journal”A thoroughly researched, clearly written, handsomely designed, very comprehensive history of North American lacrosse since the mid-nineteenth century… this is one of the most informative histories of any sport that I have ever read.”— The Beaver”[A] definitive history of lacrosse… Will be enjoyed by sports fans and referenced by social historians.”— Montreal Gazette

Due to tiebreakers, the Buffalo Bandits clinched first place overall, followed by the Minnesota Swarm, New York Titans in their playoff debut, and the Philadelphia Wings in their return to the playoffs after a five-year absence. There was also a tie atop the west division standings, as the San Jose Stealth and Colorado Mammoth both finished with 9-7 records.

Excerpt: For Ahmed Shah Abdali please see Ahmed Shah Abdali Abdali-I is a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) , developed by Pakistan and currently in service of Pakistan’s armed forces. The Abdali-I was originally designed as the two-stage version of the Hatf-I , essentially a solid-propellant stage was attached to the bottom of a Hatf-I . However, the program was canceled in 1994, likely due to the purchase of the M-11 missiles from the Peoples Republic of China . A new design for the Abdali-I was started in 1995. The Abdali-I has been named after Ahmad Shah Abdali , the founder of modern day Afghanistan .Design and Specification Its accuracy is sufficient for use against military targets such as bases or airfields. It is carried on a road mobile Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicle. The use of solid propellant and the TEL vehicle make the missile easy to store, transport and fire. The Abdali-I has a range of 180 km and an accuracy of 15 m CEP. It is equipped with an inertial guidance system with terminal guidance. It can be equipped with a variable payload up to 500 kg, and can carry single HE explosive or cluster sub-munition warheads . It has a launch weight of 1,750 kg.

Development History and Current Status The original Abdali-I missile started development in 1987 and was first displayed in 1989. Another consideration may have been the purchase from China of the M-11 missiles with similar capabilities. Since

Slices of Orange: Great Games and Performers in Syracuse University Sports History $7.03 From the last-second heroics of Wilmeth Sidat-Singh in Archbold Stadium to the last-second heroics of Donovan McNabb in the Carrier Dome more than a half century later, this book is a chronicle of the rich tradition of Syracuse University sports.There are games that stand the test of time performances that years, even decades later bring a smile or in some cases a grimace, to a fan’s face. They are indelible moments that, when strung together, give you a sense of a college’s history. In Slices of Orange, Sal Maiorana and Scott Pitoniak recapture the heroics of running back Jim Brown’s 43-point performance against Colgate at old Archbold Stadium; the pain of Keith Smart’s jumper that denied Syracuse a national title in 1987; and the joy of forward Carmelo Anthony’s levitation act in the 2003 NCAA basketball championship game. They tell of the fierce SU-Georgetown basketball rivalry and John Thompson’s incendiary comments that ignited it and how the Gait brothers, Paul and Gary, revolutionized the game of lacrosse and laid the foundation for a college sports dynasty. About the Authors:Sal Maiorana is a regular contributor to numerous magazines and is the author of ten other books, including a two-volume history of the Buffalo Bills. He has also won numerous New York State Publishers Association citations for his work with the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York. Scott Pitoniak has spent the past quarter-century as an award-winning sports columnist for the Democrat and Chronicle. He has been named one of the top ten sports columnists in the United States by the Associated Press Sports Editors.

Sports And Games Of The Renaissance $55 The Renaissance was a period of extraordinary spirit and development that marked a critical stage in the history of sports and games. In Europe the development of a moneyed economy and more refined methods of timekeeping ushered in a new era of leisure and leisure-activity, in which the old tradition of the Shrove Tuesday Football match deepened in the cultural consciousness. In Asia, Sumo’s gradual codification began to develop alongside ancestors of the modern game of hackey-sack. In North and South America, European explorers saw how traditional team sports and games such as lacrosse and pelota could serve as an integrating and uniting phenomenon. Series editor Andrew Leibs provides narrative chapters on Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North America, and Oceania, each of which shows how modern-day form of recreation evolved during the Renaissance. In addition, readers will learn how to play games that had been previously lost to history.This volume is the latest installment in the Sports and Games Through History series. Each geographically arranged chapter describes sports, games, and rituals of play, along with descriptions on equipment and instructions for making or adapting game pieces.

Sports Scandals in the United States: 2006 Duke University Lacrosse Case $9.8 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: In March 2006 Crystal Gail Mangum, a black student at North Carolina Central University who worked as a dancer and escort, falsely accused three white Duke University students, members of the Duke Blue Devils men’s lacrosse team, of raping her at a party held at the house of two team’s captains in Durham, North Carolina on March 13, 2006. Many people involved in, or commenting on, the case, including prosecutor Mike Nifong, called the alleged assault a hate crime or suggested it might be one. On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges and declared the three players innocent. Cooper stated that the charged players Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans were victims of a “tragic rush to accuse.” The initial prosecutor for the case, Durham County’s District Attorney Mike Nifong, who was labeled a “rogue prosecutor” by Cooper, withdrew from the case in January 2007 after the North Carolina State Bar filed ethics charges against him. That June, Nifong was disbarred for “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation”, making Nifong the first prosecutor in North Carolina history to lose his law license based on actions in a case. Nifong was found guilty of criminal contempt and served one day in jail. Cooper pointed to several inconsistencies in Mangums accounts of the evening as well as unimpeachable alibi evidence provided by Seligmann and Finnerty in the summary of findings report. The Durham Police Department came under fire for violating their own policies by allowing Nifong to act as the de facto head of the investigation, giving a suspect-only photo identification procedure to Mangum, pursuing the case despite vast discrepancies in notes taken by Investigator Benjamin Himan and Sgt.

Alice Low’s witty and fascinating poems are vividly illustrated by John O’Brien’s clever and hilarious cartoons—hitting a true home run for young readers. Includes a time line of sports history.
