We can never give up this infinite hope that this will be a better world. It is going to be. And it's only going to happen if we don't give up and don't suffer despair, “said Davis.

Also, the banquet is designed to strengthen community ties and promote unity and collective responsibility, collective responsibility. And that's really key to what Dr. King's vision of a more just and equitable society, “said Knight.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Episode 115 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball.

Halloween is here! For some of us, that means fun costumes and cute children trick-or-treating. For others, it means leaning into the scary side of the season with our favorite horror movies and scary stories.  People have been telling stories about monsters, ghosts and the supernatural for centuries. But why does horror appeal to us? What do we get out of scary stories? And what can they teach us about ourselves and our society? To answer those questions, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a folklore professor. Guests: Jeffrey Tolbert is an assistant Professor of American Studies and Folklore at Penn State Harrisburg. He teaches courses on American horror movies and monsters, aliens and the supernatural.

How would you define a “hero?” Two of our guests focus on heroes in our midst—those who are in active recovery from substance use. Meet Dan Albert, founder of Hero in the Fight, a Central PA-based organization dedicated to breaking the stigma associated with addiction, and supporting the active recovery community. He's very open about his substance use in our magazine story—and he explains why, on the podcast. What can we, as a society, do to support those in active recovery? What language should we use? And what causes surges in substance use such as the opioid epidemic? Weston Kensinger, Director of the Douglas W. Pollock Center for Addiction Outreach and Research at Penn State Harrisburg, answers those questions and more for a fascinating deep dive into the subject. Have you seen TheBurg's March 2022 cover art? Meet Pamela Black, the artist who created this month's beautiful, bright artwork.

Plans for reopening schools and businesses in the wake of COVID-19 all hinge, in part, on the availability of safe child care options for millions of American families. A recent impact study in Pennsylvania, however, found that hundreds of child care providers face permanent closure as a result of the pandemic. The study, led by Phil Sirinides, director of the Institute of State and Regional Affairs at Penn State Harrisburg, found that many providers spent all available cash to stay afloat during the prolonged shutdown, and are now struggling to reopen as a result of reduced enrollment and increased costs. Sirinides joins us to discuss the study, and his team's recommendations for state policymakers, providers and other stakeholders in the uncertain months ahead.

Social structures, in almost all cases, are defined by some form of hierarchy. Whether in academics, sports, religion, business, or politics, there's usually someone at the top and others whose goal it is to get there. But while it's easy to think that we've designed our world to be this way, the truth may be that we had no choice. Among our primate ancestors and other social animals we can see similar hierarchies in place: Alpha males dominating the troop while subordinates fall in line, pecking orders among various birds and dominance hierarchies among wolf packs. Even insects such as bees and termites form their own systems of social ranking. Are hierarchies mandated by evolution? Is there something in nature -- in our genes, even -- which gives rise to the stratified society we live in? Though it sounds like a notion proposed by those with power in defense of their rank, the reality is that it may be a hard truth of human nature. Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Keystone (at 4:45) This is not your father's four-seed...the Giants have some DUDES 2. Trinity (CT) (at 9:00) Despite missing the NESCAC conference tournament, their remarkable resume earned them a two-seed and the right to host -- but how did they beat all those good teams? 3. Salve Regina (at 11:50) Few teams have three excellent starters like the Seahawks do, not to mention a legit All-American candidate in the outfield Cortland regional 1. Cortland (at 15:15) It's the 27th-straight (!!!!!!!!!!) regional appearance for the Red Dragons. Need we say more? 4.

Welcome to Episode 40 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. With the second edition of the regional rankings released, we take our first in-depth look at the potential 2019 postseason picture. First, we discuss the important terms to know when discussing postseason resumes of each team, as well as the new format which features SUPER-REGIONALS OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN. Then, we go region-by-region and speculate which teams are in the best position to get at-large bids should they not win their conference tournaments. We go alphabetically, hitting a variety of topics in each region, including: Central (at 9:05) WashU is basically a lock How do we judge Coe? Webster vs. Spalding Mid-Atlantic (at 13:24) NJAC looking like a three-bid conference again Johns Hopkins looks pretty safe Penn State-Harrisburg is a fun but weird bubble team Mideast (at 21:00) Why this region is the most challenging to figure out and will likely come down who performs in their conference tournament Midwest (at 28:57) Concordia-Chicago is a lock Whitewater and La Crosse fighting for the second Pool B bid -- Warhawks still have the edge New England (at 32:45) This is the most loaded region and that is why there are a billion teams ranked Trinity (CT) vs. Babson is a fun comparison We have no idea why Babson dropped from #1 to #4 but the Beavers should still be fine Which teams in the middle of the rankings have a best chance at-large? Will the CCC be a two-bid league? New York (at 38:40) It ain't pretty, but Cortland should still be pretty comfortably in at-large (if necessary) Ithaca is good but low SOS will make at-large tough South (at 41:12) CNU is a juggernaut but has a weird resume Does Rhodes have a shot? Disappointing conference tournament showings from Hendrix and Piedmont will make it difficult for them at-large West (at 45:30) Chapman and Trinity (Texas) looking goooooooooood SCIAC tournament will make things very interesting Texas Lutheran might be in trouble if they need an at-large bid ...then we say goodbye.

Welcome to Episode 30 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. The first official weekend of the 2019 season is here. This is our second of eight regional preview podcasts, and focuses on the four conferences in the South region, where many teams will be starting their seasons over the next week or so. We begin with the CAC (at 2:05), where Christopher Newport and Salisbury remain the clear favorites, but how seriously should we take Penn State-Harrisburg? Next (at 11:35), we move to the ODAC, aka the SEC of D-III, where the powerhouse Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets and Shenandoah Hornets will surely be right back in the mix at the top, with Roanoke not far behind. We then head farther south, fittingly, to the SAA (at 19:48), which features an up-and-coming team in Berry, the defending champs in Rhodes, and a possible sleeping giant in Birmingham-Southern. We then head to USA South (at 30:40), where LaGrange has held steady at the top over the last few years but Methodist and Piedmont appear primed to challenge the Panthers. Finally (at 38:50), we touch on the Emory Eagles of the UAA, and why their Pool B status should not be ignored after a down year. We conclude (at 42:33) by shouting out some other notable players and then picking our players and pitchers of the year, and our teams to beat. Then we bring up the Greenville University basketball team because wow, what a thing. Then we say goodbye. Thanks for listening!

So, how can conservatives survive and thrive in college, while also making a difference? Matthew Woessner, a political science professor at Penn State Harrisburg, offers some tips.

The HYP’s “How It’s Built in the ‘Burg” series is a new program held every other month about innovators, entrepreneurs, and idealists. HYP pulls in local entrepreneurs and business founders from the Central PA Area to share their triumphs, failures, serendipity, and insight. This month we heard from Meghan & Mary, the co-founders of the HBG Flea! The HBG flea is run by co-founders and friends Meghan Jones and Mary Imgrund. Meeting at Penn State Harrisburg where they both were part of the English program, they realized that their creative compatibility and desire to create a stronger community presence worked perfectly as a business platform. And thus became the HBG Flea. Special thanks to Clark Stefanic at http://stefanic.video/ for the recording and editing of this Podcast.

“Civil War Voices from York County, PA” “Civil War Voices from York County, PA” mixes reminiscences from the inhabitants of York County, Pa., many handed down to descendants, with a strong focus on the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign. Authors Scott Mingus and James McClure have uncovered or received dozens of previously unpublished diaries, journals, Civil War letters from the field, and similar first-person accounts that provide glimpses into the hearts of the soldiers and citizens.  We see the loneliness of a Yorker serving as a guard at Fort Monroe, Va., whose mundane routine is broken by a visit from U.S. Grant and President Lincoln. We see the fear and uncertainty expressed by a worried housewife as rumors of the impending Confederate invasion reach northwestern York County. We hear the defiance in the voice of a former soldier who is willing to pick up the musket again in defense of his country. We hear the voice of a young York man who helps in the gruesome field hospitals at Gettysburg, an experience that leads him into a career as a physician. We learn how a frightened child hides silently in a cherry tree as gray-coated soldiers rode through her parents' farm. These voices, and nearly two hundred more, bring to life what it was like to live in south-central Pennsylvania during America's most tumultuous period. Scott Mingus has written “Flames Beyond Gettysburg: The Confederate Expedition to the Susquehanna River, June 1863”; “The Louisiana Tigers in the Gettysburg Campaign” five other Civil War books, an numerous magazine articles. He is a sanctioned Civil War guide for the York County Heritage Trust. He is a scientist and executive in the paper and printing industry, and is a graduate of Miami University n Oxford, OH. James McClure is the author of “East of Gettysburg: A Gray Shadow Crosses York County, PA”; “Almost Forgotten” A Glimpse at Black History in York County, PA”; and three other books on York County history. He earned a master’s degree in American Studies at Penn State Harrisburg and is editor of the York Daily Record/ Sunday News.
