Here's a look at how the Patriots' first-year players are faring:
CB Devin McCourty (first round): Going against the likely Defensive Rookie of the Year, McCourty tossed his hat into the ring with a great performance on Turkey Day. McCourty had two interceptions, returning one of them 50 yards. His first pick came while on man coverage with Lions WR Calvin Johnson. McCourty added three tackles on special teams, as well.
TE Rob Gronkowski (second round): Gronkowski seems to be Tom Brady's new go-to tight end after deferring most of the looks to Aaron Hernandez earlier this season. Gronkwoski had five catches for 65 yards in last Thursday's win, including a 26-yard reception.
OLB Jermaine Cunningham (second round): Cunningham got some time playing defensive end, rushing off the edge in the team's sub package. He had three tackles on the game but still hasn't put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, something the Patriots are counting on for him to do.
ILB Brandon Spikes (second round): Spikes had three tackles and added a pass defensed, but he takes some of the blame for the Lions' success on the ground. Spikes will have a big challenge against the Jets on Monday night in stopping their backs while possibly having to cover TE Dustin Keller.
TE Aaron Hernandez (fourth round): It has been a couple weeks now since Hernandez has been the team's leading receiver after excelling to start the season. With the Patriots focusing more on the run game, Hernandez has seen less time on the field. He did have an 18-yard catch on third down against the Lions, but that was his only reception of the day.
P Zoltan Mesko (fifth round): Mesko had three punts for 153 yards against Detroit, dropping one inside the 20 and having a long of 53. His net average was 41.7 yards and his season net average is 39 yards, good for 10th in the league.
DE Brandon Deaderick (seventh round): Deaderick was a healthy scratch from the game, a bit of a surprise considering the team was already without DLs Myron Pryor and Mike Wright.
LB Dane Fletcher (undrafted free agent): Fletcher got some action in the team's sub package, totaling two tackles and a pass defensed. He continues to be the team's quarterback and running back spy in the flat in third-down situations. He added one special-teams tackle.
DL Kyle Love (UFA): Love saw his most significant playing time all season on defense, recording two tackles and a pass defensed. With injuries on the defensive line, Love saw a lot of snaps and has possibly passed up Deaderick on the team's depth chart.
Notes: WR Taylor Price (third round) was inactive.

"To represent the religious history of America statistically and geographically is to generalize dangerously to court disaster openly."
Statistics on religion, like most other statistics, must be interpreted with a critical eye. Data on religion may be reported at either the insitutional level or the individual level. That is, there are surveys of religious insitutions themselves and there are surveys of individuals and their self-reported attitudes and affilitiations. Keep in mind that surveys of religious institutions are also self-reporting, so over-reporting of membership is more likely that under-reporting. The diversity of religious organizations and varying definitions of membership can also have an effect on comparing membership numbers among different organizations. Some organizations may not share reports with the public, or even keep numbers. There has been no government-mandated count of religious organizations since the last Religious Bodies census taken in 1936.

CATEGORIES Action, Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Deals, Universal, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Games and Game Movies, Movies, CinematicalEarlier this summer, the brakes were put on Universal's adaptation of Bioshock due to its enormous budget, and a need for tax incentives were said to be pushing the film overseas. The budgetary crisis put Gore Verbinski into a bit of a pickle, and he was unsure he would continue with the film if it moved to London. Now it looks like Verbinski is officially off the project, and Universal has hired Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) to go under the sea instead.
Variety reports that Fresnadillo is still in talks, and that it all becomes official if Bioshock's maker, Take-Two Interactive, agrees to the decision as they must approve the choice of director. But the decision indicates they are shaving that budget, and they are determined to make the film overseas. Universal is also determined that this won't turn into another Halo incident. (Although I think we all agree that any disappointment that caused District 9 was very much worth it, right?)
It has to be a huge disappointment for Verbinski, who dropped Pirates 4 to tackle Bioshock, and really seemed to love the project. (Perhaps Verbinski will find himself in a similar Cinderalla situation as Neill Blomkamp!) Of course, the big question remains as to whether all of this talk is even worth it, since we know what game adaptations are generally like. A lot of hopes are being pinned on Bioshock, and let's hope a few of them are fulfilled.

Brief Synopsis
The case studies in this volume confirm the conclusions of other PNSR analyses that the performance of the U.S. national security apparatus in inconsistent. Although some cases illustrate relatively clear, integrated strategy development, unified policy implementation, and coherent tactical planning, coordination, and execution; others depict flawed, divided, contradictory, and sometimes nonexistent strategy promulgation and enactment. Similarly, the U.S. national security system can provide resources efficiently, but it also can do so inadequately and tardily. Flawed responses recur in issue areas as diverse as biodefense, public diplomacy, and military intervention. They also occur across many presidential administrations, from the onset of the Cold War to the present day. The piecemeal organizational reforms enacted to date have not fostered improved policy outcomes or decisionmaking, while capability building, especially in the civilian national security agencies, remains less than optimal.

Black Pepper Beef
Everyone loves a quick and easy beef stir-fry, especially Chinese beef stir-fry. This quick and easy pepper steak is from my cookbook Easy Chinese Recipes. I used black pepper, red, and green bell peppers to make this black pepper beef. The seasonings are Chinese: soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. With a tint of Chinese rice wine and sesame oil, this pepper steak stir-fry is delicious and goes extremely well with steamed rice. If you love the taste and texture of caramelized onion, stir-fry it a little long so the beef (steak) soaks up all the flavors. Be generous with the black pepper like I do, as it completes the flavor of this popular beef stir-fry and delivers the ultimate black pepper beef that everyone loves.

I assume that the sesame oil in this is the dark, toasted oil?
Angela: It's toasted sesame oil. It's the brown one. Kadoya is a great brand from japan.
I really like light cantonese style stir fries. I like to add Asparagus, Broccolini, Chinese broccoli, Spring onions, green peppers, bok choy. It really depend on what's stocked up in the fridge.
Sometimes I also toss up chunks of Char sui pork with some bell peppers, onions and chinese bbq sauce.
About wok cooking i chose to use a slightly different approach than frying ginger/garlic in oil. I season the oil with ginger/garlic on low head, sets the oil aside and then stir fry whatever i need with the seasoned oil.
WOW, looks amazing :) Love your blog
Is there any substitute for Chinese rice wine or sherry? And is corn starch and corn flour the same thing?
Can you please give me brand names for dark and light soy sauce? I don't know the difference. Thank you.
what is maggi seasoning?
maggi is just a mix of seasonings , its in your supermarket by in the asian foods section.
HI GREAT I LOVE IT beef with snow peas in a light gingery sauce
I just love this black pepper beef stir fry recipe. The best thing about it is that I can load it up with any veggies and as much veggies I like. I also like to ad extra water to make it more saucy and serve it over noodles. yum. (works with any other meat as well). It's fast to make and the leftovers (if any) is great for the next day lunch.
Are you supposed to stir fry the marinade with the beef or do you remove the beef and discard the marinade?
Is it ok to skip the maggi seasoning sauce?
Can I use lamb or mutton as a substitute to beef?
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have made it many times and my family loves it!!!

Authorities say a Tucson woman is in custody in connection with the shooting death of her husband.
Tucson police say 58-year-old Susan Thacker has been booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of one count of second-degree murder.
They say she called 911 about 9 p.m. Monday to report that she shot 58-year-old Gregory Thacker.
Police say the couple apparently argued for a few hours prior to the shooting.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that when officers arrived at the home, Susan Thacker was waiting outside for them and told police her husband was dead inside the house.
Police didn't immediately know Tuesday whether she had a lawyer yet.

Tom Raines lives in the future during the time of World War III. He is poor and gambles for money. In this world, people gamble with video games. Tom always wins these games and uses the money he makes to support his dad and himself.
One day, a general from the combatants (the supernatural warriors in World War III) is watching Tom play and wants to recruit him. Tom leaves his father to go join the Combatants and fight. Combatants are the smartest, strongest, and fastest people in the world. In order to measure up to these standards, Tom is given a computer chip which is placed in his brain. He uses this to download information, speed up his thought process and provide perfect photographic memory. He is also given growth hormone bars to make him taller, faster, and stronger.
Tom trains and becomes the strongest fighter. He engages in the war and learns and befriends a combatant on the other side. Tom also aces other struggles and other enemies within his own territory.
This is one of the best books I have ever read and I highly recommend it to teens who like adventure and speculative fiction.

Chasing Vermeer
Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett
reviewed by Gabby
"On a warm October night in Chicago, three deliveries were made in the same neighborhood." Just by reading the first sentence of Chasing Vermeer, I was already curious about the book. The author's style of writing made the book interesting; the way that she is mysterious yet still makes it possible for the reader to envision the scene in their mind is, in my opinion, a very hard thing to achieve.
We do not meet Chasing Vermeer's main characters until the second chapter. Calder is a thoughtful boy and Petra is an extremely smart girl. Balliet introduces the characters in a school classroom, and by doing so helps the reader feel that the characters are familiar. The main plot of the story is that the characters must find an "invaluable Vermeer painting." Backed by their extensive knowledge of pentominoes and most topics in general, Calder and Petra work together to prove that you can do anything, regardless of who you are.
Overall, I found Chasing Vermeer a very enjoyable story and would suggest it to any open-minded reader seeking a mystery.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
reviewed by Joel
I'll start this review off by saying this is one of the best books I have ever read. However, it is not for kids. Don't read this if you cannot handle sexual themes. Seriously. On the surface, Middlesex is a story about the transformation of a person born as a girl, Calliope, into a man, but it is much more than that. It deals a lot with the history of the narrator's family, starting in Greece during the Balkan Wars, At the end of the history part of his book, Eugenides goes into the story of Calliope, or Callie. Her epic journey from woman to man is flawlessly chronicled by Eugenides, and every page is filled with details and beautiful insight into the human mind. I would genuinely recommend this book to anyone, not only because it addresses an important social issue, but just because it is so darn fun to read.

Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
reviewed by Samuel
Fablehaven is the first book in an amazing 4-part series by Brandon Mull. In this book Kendra and Seth must go spend a two-week vacations at their grandparents' home. When they get to the home they think it's going to be a boring two weeks. Boy, were they wrong. From the first day there, Kendra and Seth knew there was something different about the house, the farm, and the woods surrounding it all. Within two days of being there, they realize it is not just any farm but a preservation for magical creatures. Before they know it, they are sucked into an epic battle of good versus evil. Brandon Mull combines humor with action, adventure, and heartfelt moments. This is a book for all ages. It is amazing and I recommend it for people who like to read fantasy and adventure.
Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star by Brandon Mull
reviewed by Samuel
Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star is the second book in Brandon Mull's five part series. In this book Kendra and Seth have just finished the school year and are ready for another summer under the sun. But things don't pan out when a man claiming to be a friend of their grandpa sends Seth on what seems a harmless mission to feed a statue of a frog but things go terribly wrong. This man is secretly a member of the Society of the Evening Star wishing to infiltrate the preserve belonging to Seth and Kendra's grandparents to steal the secret artifact. Kendra and Seth manage to get the preserve safely but their problems have just begun. Brandon Mull does a great job of making his fantasy contain a touch of realism that allows readers to connect with the characters. This is a great book for children who like to read fantasy and adventure novels.
Fablehaven: Secret of the Dragon Sanctuary by Brandon Mull
reviewed by Samuel
Fablehaven: Secret of the Dragon Sanctuary is the fourth book in Brandon Mull's five part series. In this book, two of the critical artifacts have already been discovered by The Sphinx. It is not until Kendra finds secret instructions left by the late Patton Burgess on how to find the next artifact that anyone has hope. The only drawback is that she has to go into a dragon sanctuary. In other words this is a suicide mission. Kendra and the best warriors of The Knights of The Dawn must embark on this scary mission. You'll have to read the book to see who survives. Brandon Mull has masterfully crafted this fantastical thriller with countless twists and turns. This series is a great read for people of all ages. From fantasy fanatics to adventure addicts, this book is great and anyone can enjoy it.

Divergent by Veronica Roth
reviewed by Maya
Veronica Roth's Divergent Roth is an extraordinary book that keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's about a city split into factions based on beliefs. Now that the main character, Beatrice is sixteen she can choose her own faction. This a hard decision for Beatrice because she has grown up as a selfless girl in one faction but she has never felt like she fit in. She has always admired another faction for their fearless approach to living. Once she chooses a faction that surprises her family, her life changes immediately. This story has action, adventure, and romance. This book keeps you thinking about the what future society could be like.
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
reviewed by Maya
This book is the second in the Mortal Instruments series. Read the first before looking! The second instalment is better than the first, with more action and intrigue to delight fans.
Clary's life has fallen apart. Her mother is in a coma, her past life is a lie, and the boy she thought she loved is her brother. Of course, maniacal fathers rarely take into account their daughter's problems when plotting evilly. Bodies of downworlders are turning up, drained of blood. All leads point to Valentine, but are Jace and Clary ready to face him again? To make matters worse, the Inquisitor has arrived and is twisting the Law to get what she wants most: revenge.
This book is probably the best in the series, with emotions raw and surprisingly real. The final show-down is good, if a little fake, but a plot twist at the end that saves Simon leaves the reader confused. For fans of the series, this book fulfils the promises of the first. However, if City of Bones was not your cup of demon blood, don't pick up the second. A good, but not great, read overall.
So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane
reviewed by Maya
This book, and most of the following series, is purely enchanting. It all starts when Nita Callahan seeks shelter from bullies in the career choice section of her beloved library. She wanders through the titles until one catches her eye: So You Want to Be a Wizard. Thus starts a grand adventure with her new partner, Kit Rodriguez, through New York and the Other New York, chasing the ultimate evil.
This book gives the reader everything and anything one could want from a science-fiction novel. The explanation of magic is thorough, and a little advanced for younger readers. The bonds of friendship are strong, and fantasy is woven into every turn, from conversations with trees to walking on air. I would recommend this book to middle school age readers. Parts of the book are for older readers, but they are not inappropriate. Older readers may find the book a little young, and it does follow the conventional plot. However, it is well written and a brilliant book.
The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern, William Goldman
reviewed by Maya
O lord. This book is … inconceivable. It is hilarious, tender, sarcastic, exciting, magical, and blows the mind faster that Fezzic can rhyme the word "amazing". It all starts with Buttercup, an amazingly ditzy and selfish girl, albeit the fifteenth prettiest. She falls in love with the stable boy, they kiss, he set off to win his fortune, and dies. This is all within the first few chapters. What follows is what Juliet died to escape. Now the unloving bride of a mostly-evil prince, Buttercup is kidnapped by a miniature genius, vengeful Spanish sword-wizard, and a poetic strongman. True love is found, then lost, then found. Epic duels are fought, and a rapier wit is wielded by Morgenstern that makes you roll on the floor laughing.
I would recommend this book to anyone old enough to enjoy satire in its fullest, but young enough to believe in giant sharks and R.O.U.Ss (rodents of unusual size), and brave enough to venture into a fire swamp with the dread pirate Roberts. Amazing!
Protector of the Small: First Test by Tamora Pierce
reviewed by Maya
Tamora Pierce is without a doubt one of my favourite authors and I was so excited to learn that there was a third series set in Tortall, a land of magic and now, female knights. After a decree is passed allowing girls to become squires as well as boys, not many are ready to be the first to take the offer. Keladry, nicknamed Kel, is the first who is brave enough to travel to the castle to train. As the first open female squire, she is put on a probation year. A shorter scope of time than most of Pierce's books, she still artfully keeps the story flowing quickly. As a squire, Kel learns to deal with bullies and her crippling fear of heights. By making new friends, animal and human, Kel begins to succeed in her training. Then comes the ultimate test: the call to battle.
I would recommend this book to lovers of fantasy or science fiction. First Test is a book for younger audiences than what Pierce usually writes for, but all ages can enjoy the story. Reading the series before it, Wild Mage and Song of the Lioness, make for a better reading experience, but the books can be enjoyed on their own. This series is my favorite, and I cannot say how many times I have read these books. A great character unto herself, Keladry's books work magic on the reader that has nothing to do with the Gift, because she doesn't have one.
Beka Cooper: Terrier by Tamora Pierce
reviewed by Maya
Tamora Pierce has done it again. She has taken us back to Tortall (this time in the past) and made the lower city a place of dark magic, where anything can happen and frequently does. The story is written diary-style, but most of the time it seems like a first person narrative. This is not necessarily a fault, as it does add more detail, an odd occurrence in Pierce's work.
The stage is set with a young girl, Beka, who has spent the last eight years working for the Lord Provost, who saved her and her family from the slums of Corus. She harbors the odd dream of becoming a Dog, the police of the capital city. One who has read the Alanna books will recognize little but the Rouge and Faithful (he's back, just under a different name!), as the book is set in an element far removed from the elegant palace. By stepping out of her comfort zone, Pierce creates a masterpiece that looks on the mostly ignored others of the middle ages.
I would recommend this book to anyone in their teens or older, as it does have some sexuality and adult subjects. It is a great book, and works like magic on the reader. Beka is shy but brave, a different type of heroine. However, as I said before, this book breaks all conventions of high fantasy books and does it well.
This is the first book in a trilogy.

TABLEHOPPING Eat like royals: New openings include The Coachman, The Square (N.B. not related to Square), sweet coffee spots, and hot hot dogs.
People who consider themselves fans of prime rib (raises hand) will probably want to check out the version that's being made at Charles Phan's brand-new restaurant, The Coachman (1148 Mission, SF. www.coachmansf.com), now open in the former Heaven's Dog space in SoMa. Nope, no more Chinese food in that location, and Phan's not doing Vietnamese either.
The menu is actually inspired by English classics done right (long story), but being in California means there's going to be a seasonal bent too. The family-style menu includes lamb sweetbreads with mint ($12), potted crab ($14), a tasty beef tartare topped fried smelt ($14), carrots, lentils, and parsley dill sauce with smoked date jam ($14). About that prime rib ($26): It's cooked in a salt crust for eight hours, and comes with a bone marrow jus and horseradish cream (oh yeah).
Chef de cuisine Ross Wunderlich was brought over from one of Phan's other restaurants, Hard Water. The space was given a bit of an update, but the look isn't particularly of note. (Plus side: no tacky pub décor.) Besides, you'll be more focused on the cocktail menu from Erik Adkins, which highlights punches, cups, cobblers, and some farmhouse and rural drinks. You can even have your drink served in a hunting flask — order the Robert Burns' Hunting Flask for a maximum ye olde adult beverage experience, or order one of two cask-conditioned ales to go with your dinner.
The former Washington Square Bar & Grill, and recently Bottle Cap, is now The Square (1707 Powell, SF. www.thesquaresf.com), from the Sons & Daughters duo, Teague Moriarty and Matt McNamara. This is not their usual composed cuisine style — think American dishes like a kale with ricotta salata, grilled bavette steak, whole roasted crab, a rack of baby back ribs (for two!), and a burger.
The menu ranges from bar snacks to bigger plates ($7–$24). The late hours (Wed–Sun until 1am) are a bonus, and there's a full bar, with twists on classics like the 7 'n' 7. Plenty of Cali and European wines as well. The 90-seat space is handsome, with a bar, communal table, and plenty of spots saved for walk-ins, so feel free to swing on by.
A couple new coffee spots have opened, starting with the latest location of Sightglass Coffee (3014 20th St., SF. www.sightglasscoffee.com), right next to Central Kitchen and Trick Dog. What's interesting is it's operating more like a roastery focused on micro batches: All the coffee served there is roasted in-house, and it's the only place where you can get those beans (like the Jerboa's Jump espresso). It has a great vintage look, with warm globe lights, tobacco leather banquettes, marble-topped counters, and touches of a Deco aesthetic throughout. There are some killer baked goods from Piccino, b. Patisserie, and Neighbor Bakehouse, with a bunch of savory options. Hours are Mon-Sat 7am–8pm, Sun 8am–8pm.
There's a lot of buzz (har) about the latest location of Réveille Coffee (4076 18th St., www.reveillecoffee.com) in the Castro, another coffee-related biz by two brothers, Tommy and Christopher Newbury. There's a sweet front patio (great people watching or cruising, whatever you're up to), and the interior has an appealing design that's clean and upbeat. People are reportedly digging the savory options, from breakfast goods like bull's-eye breakfast sandwiches (served until a very generous 1pm) to flatbreads, salads, and sandwiches for lunch and into the evening. Open 7am–9pm daily.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — John Calipari's career, if you look at it in its entirety, has been spent developing basketball players and teams. It was only in his last few years at Memphis that he created this new brand, of a coach who could put players into the express lane to the NBA.Before that, he was a lot more likely to build an Edgar Padilla over four years than a Derrick Rose in one. His first Final Four team at UMass was veteran and hard-nosed. At Memphis, he went to the title game behind Rose, yes, but also had Chris Douglas Roberts, a junior out of Detroit, Antonio Anderson, a junior from Massachusetts, and Joey Dorsey, a junior from Georgia.His first Final Four team at Kentucky wouldn't have gotten to a Final Four without his development of DeAndre Liggins and Josh Harrellson.Now consider this. If Harrellson were on Calipari's current Kentucky roster, he'd be lucky to get mop-up time.Think about that, a guy good enough to outplay Jared Sullinger on UK's way to the Final Four likely wouldn't ever see the court.Why do I bring this up?Because I wonder if, after his 30-minute performance at Mississippi State Saturday, Jarrod Polson isn't in that same mold.I'm not going to sit here and argue that Polson is as talented as the other point guards on this team. No way. Not Andrew Harrison. Not Dominique Hawkins. You'd call me crazy, and you'd be right. Nor is he even, comparably speaking, as talented as Harrellson, who wound up an NBA Draft pick.But here's what Polson does bring — three years in Calipari's system. Two trips to the Final Four. An NCAA championship ring. And a lifetime spent in the state of Kentucky, which has brought him a profound knowledge of what the program means to people here, and a profound passion to see it rise to its potential. He has also gone up against Brandon Knight in practice, and Marquis Teague. You could argue, and I have, that he should've been handed the keys to the team last season. Ryan Harrow was a failed experiment. Polson, sink or swim, would've been a preferable option.Regardless, stay with me, now.This UK team, loaded as it is with high school All-Americans, isn't in need of more talent.But it may well be in need of the things that Polson brings. For that matter, a dose of Jon Hood didn't seem to hurt the Wildcats at Mississippi State. Everything I listed about Polson, you can pretty much credit to Hood, too.In every interview Calipari does these days — and there are fewer and fewer of them — he makes the point that he has the youngest team in Kentucky's history, and he's right. What he doesn't say is that he has experience on his roster; he's just choosing not to play it.These guys aren't the final answer to Kentucky's championship question. I'm not making that point. But the more they play, the better it seems to be for the Wildcats, who have never made a Final Four without a Kentucky native either in the starting lineup or among the top six scorers.I've written it several times, I thought we'd see a steady diet of Polson this season. I was surprised when Hawkins was the guy who came off the bench behind Harrison early on. He's a great player, but he doesn't bring the kind of experience and savvy that Polson has.This team doesn't need a Derrick Rose-type guy driving the lane. It needs somebody who will come down and run the offense, who brings great energy, who will play defense. Polson isn't mistake-free, but he hasn't had a chance to build up enough playing time to season himself.At the team's media day this season, I asked Polson about all that he's seen. As a guy who grew up around the program, at least watching like everyone else in Central Kentucky, I figured his perspective would be worthwhile."I get up every day grateful to have been a part of all this," Polson said. "I mean, I think this is as exciting a time to be around this program as any time there's ever been. To be a part of that, to do whatever I can, I take that seriously."Calipari said that the only time he was able to get his team to play right in Mississippi was when Polson and Hood were in the game. Assistant coach Kenny Payne had more praise for Hood in a news conference Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's game at Auburn."I would say John Hood has been one of our most prominent leaders, best leaders," Payne said. "He's been one of our most energetic guys in practice, totally positive, comes in every day and works his tail off and when he got his opportunity, took advantage of it and played very well. I thought it would be hard for us to win that game at Mississippi State without him.""It's hard," Payne said, when asked about being a leader when you don't see a lot of minutes. "When you're being vocal to young players who see you not play, that's hard. But he's undeterred, always positive."As this UK team looks to "get it" down the stretch of this season, maybe one of the answers is to play this pair of seniors who undoubtedly do get it. It'll take a commitment from Calipari. It's hard to turn away from a McDonald's All-American to go to players who have far less pedigree. But if Calipari will think back, he's won with those kinds of guys before.
Maybe from what we saw in Starkville, Miss., he's already come to that conclusion. We'll find out over the coming games.Polson and Hood are not going to take over the team. Nobody expects that. But with luck, maybe some of their teamwork and enthusiasm might.Copyright 2014 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

|Justice Ginsburg's Advocacy and the Future of Equal Protection
|Cary Franklin, Thursday, 21 February 2013 [View as PDF]
This Essay was adapted from remarks delivered at Equality's Frontiers, a panel discussion celebrating Justice Ginsburg's gender-equality jurisprudence and analyzing its relationship with new developments in the law of equality. The discussion preceded Justice Ginsburg's Gruber Distinguished Lecture in Women's Rights, held on October 19, 2012, at Yale University.
I would like to start by thanking everyone who made this event possible, especially Judith Resnik and Reva Siegel, and Justice Ginsburg herself for taking the time in the middle of a busy Term to join us. This is a very special occasion—and with cases concerning affirmative action and very likely same-sex marriage before the Court this Term, it is a particularly fitting time to reflect on Justice Ginsburg's contributions to equality jurisprudence in this country.
Our panel today is called Equality's Frontiers. "Frontier" is an evocative word for me now that I live in Texas. You can still see the frontier in Texas: dry, deserted land stretching out forever until it meets an equally endless sky. If you come from east of the Mississippi River, I will have a hard time conveying to you just how empty the landscape is, but I think if you try to imagine it—tumbleweeds, cacti—that will help you to appreciate what the doctrinal landscape looked like in the early 1970s when Ruth Bader Ginsburg began to litigate constitutional cases about sex discrimination. At that point, the Supreme Court had never invalidated a law on the ground that it discriminated on the basis of sex, and laws that discriminated on the basis of sex triggered no special scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment. So, as a lawyer, Justice Ginsburg faced a substantial obstacle: she had to persuade the Court that, contrary to what it had believed for the first two centuries of this nation's history, sex discrimination was a problem of constitutional magnitude. But she also had a significant opportunity to shape the Court's understanding of what sex discrimination was and when it ran afoul of the Constitution.
At the start of her litigation campaign, Ginsburg made a highly consequential, nonobvious choice. She decided to challenge the constitutionality of sex discrimination in cases with male plaintiffs. As a result, sex-based equal protection law in the United States was constructed, in significant part, in cases brought by men. To this day, men outnumber women among the ranks of constitutional sex discrimination plaintiffs who have reached the Supreme Court.
Why did Ruth Bader Ginsburg decide to bring sex discrimination cases on behalf of men? Commentators have often assumed that Ginsburg chose to represent male plaintiffs because her aim was simply to rid the law of formal sex classifications. Such classifications could be challenged by men or women, so, this account suggests, Ginsburg decided to bring claims on behalf of men because she thought that male judges might empathize with plaintiffs of their own sex. Thus, although the foundational sex discrimination cases of the 1970s were historic and groundbreaking—they established that sex discrimination was a matter of constitutional concern—this account suggests that they guaranteed only formal, rather than substantive, equality. Teenage boys in Oklahoma won the right to buy low-alcohol beer at the same age girls could, but pregnancy discrimination fell under the radar of constitutional concern because it did not technically classify on the basis of sex.
I want to suggest that this account misunderstands the early constitutional sex discrimination cases. It misconceives both the theory of equal protection that motivated Ginsburg to press the claims of male plaintiffs and the constitutional doctrine that those plaintiffs helped to create. It also obscures the relevance of the foundational sex discrimination cases of the 1970s to questions at the cutting edge of equal protection law today.
So, why did Justice Ginsburg decide to represent male plaintiffs? In 1971, she wrote a letter to a colleague in which she explained that she derived the idea to bring sex discrimination cases on behalf of men from "Mill and the Swedes." What did she mean by this? What do John Stuart Mill and "the Swedes" have to do with male plaintiffs at the Supreme Court?
There was a resurgence of interest in the late 1960s in John Stuart Mill's writing on women, particularly among participants in the newly emergent women's movement. Mill argued in The Subjection of Women, published in 1869, that we do not know what men or women are really like, because they have for so long been compelled to conform to sex stereotypes. He compared women's character to that of a tree, half of which had been tended in a hothouse and thus sprouted luxuriantly, and the other half of which had been left in the snow and withered and died. He argued that it would be a fallacy to look at the vegetation that resulted from this experiment as a product of nature. His point was that people, too, grow in the way we have made them grow. And, importantly, he applied this concept to both sexes. He argued that men and women are both constrained by sex-role stereotyping, and that equality depends on alleviating the pressure on everyone to conform to such stereotypes.
One reason this antistereotyping approach to issues of sex equality appealed to Ginsburg is that, before she became a litigator, she spent a significant amount of time in Sweden. In the early 1960s, Ginsburg accepted a position researching Swedish law for Columbia Law School's Project on International Procedure and, in the course of her work, learned Swedish, lived intermittently in Sweden, and became an expert on Swedish law. (When she was confirmed to the Supreme Court, the New York Times reported that she still watched Ingmar Bergman films without subtitles.) In the period when Ginsburg was there, Sweden was undergoing a revolution in its approach to sex discrimination, and men were very much at the center of this new approach. Prominent Swedish journalists, intellectuals, and politicians began to argue in the 1960s that the enforcement of traditional sex roles injured members of both sexes, and that, as long as men were discouraged from taking on women's roles, women would never attain equal social standing. As a result, combating sex-role enforcement became an official policy aim of the Swedish government during this period. The government instituted affirmative-action programs for both sexes, and Sweden became the first country in the world to make parental leave available to men. The government even began to consider how planning and zoning and public-transportation networks could be redesigned to make it easier for both sexes to work outside the home.
In the early 1970s, the women's movement in the United States was also starting to think about sex equality in these terms. Ruth Bader Ginsburg translated those ideas into constitutional arguments. She argued in the briefs she submitted to the Supreme Court that sex-based state action violates the Fourteenth Amendment when it steers men and women into separate spheres and presses them to conform to traditional roles. Her aim, in including men among the ranks of constitutional sex discrimination plaintiffs, was to provide the Court with a mediating principle for determining when sex-based state action warrants constitutional concern. She did not argue that the state could never take sex into account; rather, she argued that the Constitution prohibits the state from acting in ways that reflect or reinforce traditional conceptions of men's and women's roles.
Ginsburg's great achievement in the male-plaintiff cases was to persuade the Burger Court to adopt this more robust antistereotyping approach to sex-based equal protection law. Let me cite one example: a 1975 case called Weinberger v. Wiesenfeld. It's a sad case. The plaintiff, Stephen Wiesenfeld, was a man whose wife had died while giving birth to their first child. If he had been a woman, he would have been entitled to "mother's benefits"—benefits designed to allow mothers to stay home with their children upon the death of the family breadwinner. Wiesenfeld's wife had been the primary breadwinner in the family, and he wanted to stay home with his baby son after her death. But New Jersey denied his application for "mother's benefits" on the ground that men were categorically ineligible for such benefits. The Court in Wiesenfeld held that rule unconstitutional. It did not hold that sex classifications are per se unconstitutional. It held that this benefits scheme was unconstitutional because it reflected and reinforced traditional sex roles. The Court pointed out that the state was assuming that widows would stay home with their children and that widowers would go to work, and that it was using powerful economic levers to make those assumptions a reality. Indeed, the Court went so far as to observe that, absent the myriad ways in which the state endorsed and enforced the male-breadwinner/female-caregiver model, some men might choose to stay home with their children even in cases where their wives remained alive.
That's positively Swedish! And Wiesenfeld was far from the only case in which the Burger Court invalidated sex-based state action on antistereotyping grounds. By the early 1980s, the antistereotyping principle was firmly embedded in constitutional sex discrimination doctrine.
Now, as you know, the Burger Court is rarely likened to the Swedish legislature. This is the Court that failed to recognize pregnancy discrimination as a form of sex discrimination. As a result of that and other failings, commentators have often concluded that the Court in the 1970s adopted a narrow, anticlassificationist understanding of when sex-based state action violates the Equal Protection Clause. The problem, however, is not with the principle the Court adopted, but with the way the Court applied that principle. The Burger Court applied the antistereotyping principle only narrowly, and generally not at all in cases involving the regulation of pregnant women. But it would be a mistake to conclude on this basis that the principle the Court adopted in the 1970s is incapable of doing significant equality work in the twenty-first century. In fact, the implications of the antistereotyping principle are still emerging today. That is precisely why Ginsburg championed this principle when sex discrimination law was in its infancy. She was keenly aware, as a litigator, that the project of combatting sex discrimination would take time—and that the promise of the antistereotyping principle would emerge slowly, as the Court, in dialogue with social movements and the other branches of government, came to recognize that certain forms of regulation that once seemed natural and innocuous actually serve to reinforce sex stereotypes in constitutionally problematic ways.
Because of her position on the Court, Justice Ginsburg herself has played a significant role in recent years in articulating implications of the antistereotyping principle that went unrecognized in the 1970s. The Court has now recognized on multiple occasions that the regulation of pregnant women and mothers may run afoul of the antistereotyping mandate at the core of constitutional sex discrimination law. In fact, the Court has suggested that we should be particularly concerned about the regulation of pregnancy and motherhood, because, historically, stereotyping has been at its most intense in these areas. Ten years ago, the Court even held that affirmative benefits, like federally mandated family-caregiving leave for both men and women, might be necessary in order to combat powerful male-breadwinner/female-caregiver stereotypes.
The Court's 2003 family-leave decision was a particularly remarkable tribute to Justice Ginsburg because she did not write it. It was written by Chief Justice Rehnquist—the only Justice in the 1970s who did not view the mother's benefits statute in Weisenfeld as a constitutionally problematic form of sex stereotyping. After spending a decade on the Court with Justice Ginsburg, however, the Chief Justice penned an opinion that sounded for all the world as if she had written it. That seems to me a formidable achievement on the part of both Justices.
Let me conclude by mentioning another context in which the implications of the antistereotyping principle are only just beginning to emerge—a context the Court might consider this very Term (or so someone with a good deal of inside knowledge of the Court has suggested). To show how the antistereotyping principle might apply in this new area of the law, let me return briefly to Wiesenfeld. When Justice Brennan circulated his majority opinion in the case, noting that Stephen Wiesenfeld intended to stay home with his young son and suggesting that he might even have elected to do so if his wife had lived, some of his fellow Justices were quite shocked. Drafts of the circulated opinion, now at the Library of Congress, reveal heavy underlining and exclamation marks at the point at which Justice Brennan discusses the allocation of responsibilities in the Wiesenfelds' marriage. His suggestion that Stephen Wiesenfeld may well have stayed home with his son even if his wife had lived elicited a "WOW!" from Justice Blackmun. The Wiesenfelds' marriage did not accord with the traditional male-breadwinner/female-caregiver model. In terms of gender, the Wiesenfelds' marriage did not look like other marriages. I think it is fair to say that the Justices found the arrangement very queer. But, ultimately, they agreed with Wiesenfeld's lawyer that equal protection prohibits the state from regulating marriage in ways that reflect and reinforce traditional conceptions of men's and women's roles. If you listen to arguments against same-sex marriage today, you will hear a great many justifications that run afoul of this antistereotyping principle. Indeed, it is not clear that laws restricting marriage to different-sex couples can survive antistereotyping analysis. This is the principle that was established in the male plaintiff cases of the 1970s—and it continues to operate at the frontiers of equal protection law today.

While these people's individual career lifespans are usually relatively short, the sad thing is that the scenario repeats itself ad infinitum.
It's like Nick Cage's character says in Matchstick Men. Something like, "I don't take people's money. They give it to me."
Cons require marks that are both greedy and stupid at the same time.

This is small potatoes, a rarity in the private sector. The statist state spends way too much trying to make a big deal out of small stuff like this, and we the taxpayers get hosed because of it. The really huge problem that has to be addressed is the enormous teacher salamis and pensions that are going to swamp us good, especially our grandchildren and their grandchildren. The hugely corrupt union seamen and pirates are in bed with the politicians with nothing but furthering the tsunami being created from huge teacher salamis and pensions.
