[Peter] Shulman, a historian and associate professor of history at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, tweeted out a chart using data from a 1938 July issue of Fortune about attitudes toward European refugees, many of whom were Jewish and trying to flee Hitler. The resulting tweet, which he posted on Monday night, has more than 4,000 shares and likes, having struck a chord with followers who saw a parallel with modern attitudes about Syrian refugees.

What local research about rape kits could mean for stopping serial rapists
The Plain Dealer
Emerging research suggests that every sexual assault report should be investigated as a possible serial offense—shifting the focus to the accused, rather than treating reports as single incidents. “Police officers tend to look at a rape report in terms of how can I make this case,” said Rachel Lovell, a senior researcher with the Begun Center for Violence Prevention at Case Western Reserve University. “What needs to happen is they need to ask: What else has this guy done?”

Players often share store-bought guards that injure their mouths, fall out and harbor harmful bacteria. "The custom mouth guards cushion blows during tackling and keep teeth from coming together fast and hard, which can result in a variety of injuries," said James Lalumandier, chair of the Department of Community Dentistry.
Mouth guard program perfect fit for Cleveland dental society volunteers
ADA News
Volunteers from the dental society and students from Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine provided more than 60 Cleveland public high school athletes with mouth guards—made complete with the colors and nickname of their respective schools, along with a dental exam and education on how to properly use and store a mouth guard.
The Plain Dealer
“They took the time out of their day to make sure we have the proper mouth guards for football,” said John Hay senior safety/ receiver Treyvon Akins. “It felt good to know someone cared about us.”
Cleveland Metropolitan School District
Before football players from three CMSD high schools took the field this season, the Greater Cleveland Dental Society provided them with free examinations and fitted them for customized mouth guards.
Among elite athletes, practice isn’t everything

10,000 hours of deliberate practice aren’t going to get you Olympic gold
New York Magazine
There’s more evidence that the 10,000-Hour Rule is more of a rule of thumb than a law of the universe. It comes in the form of a new meta-analysis lead-authored by Case Western Reserve University psychologist Brooke Macnamara, whose team ... found that on average, deliberate practice accounted for 18 percent of the difference in performance.

Practice Might Not Make Perfect After All: Could the famous ‘10,000 hours’ rule be wrong?
Sports practice accounts for just 18 percent of differences in performance
The Huffington Post
“While practice is necessary for elite athletes to reach a high level of competition, after a certain point, the amount of practice essentially stops differentiating who makes it far and who makes it to the very top,” Macnamara explains.

While you’ve heard the adage “practice makes perfect,” practice doesn’t necessarily make an Olympian. Case Western Reserve psychology professor Brooke Macnamara explores all the little things—beyond practice—that go into becoming an Olympic athlete.
