It's the third day of the Senior Bowl practices and with its progression there's been a number of prospects whom have made their mark and impressed, others that have underwhelmed, and some that commenced by having weak showings and later ended up leaving strong impressions on the scouts.
Again, for this third day I have compiled information from different sources about these college football prospects that have practiced today and therefor will now bring it forth and present it to you.
Here it is:
Zach Brown (OLB) looked good in practice because that is when he should theoretically look best since there is no tackling allowed and that is something he struggles to do. But he took better angles than I saw on tape and clearly has all the athleticism you could want in coverage.
James Michael Johnson (ILB) of Nevada continues to look very athletic on the field, but today he's starting to make plays on the ball.
Lavonte David (OLB) of Nebraska continues to impress. He just made a great play in full scrimmage against the run, exploding up the field to stop Pead behind the line of scrimmage. David has looked good in coverage drills all morning. He's athletic, easily runs downfield with backs or tight ends and nicely positions himself to defend the pass. David has great speed and quickness, and hits like a ton of bricks. In my opinion, he should be a first round pick but size is a question..
Sean Spence (OLB) was disruptive today and when you watch him you can't help but imagine how good he would be if he was bigger. His weigh-in likely hurt his stock, but in the right system (perhaps a Cover-2 or heavy zone system) he could be an impact linebacker.
Audie Cole (LB) of North Carolina State is not known for his foot speed or athleticism, but he's just a good, tough football player. Every time Cole has stepped to the line this morning he seems determined to stop his opponents by any means necessary, and for the most part he has.
Keenan Robinson (LB) has experience playing all three linebacker positions but I think his best position is probably the weak-side. He's a helluva hitter, a very good tackler and he has ability in coverage. He's a complete linebacker and he's going to be a riser after this week. Keep an eye on him at practice, he will impress you.
Nigel Bradham (OLB) is another player I like. He's just a solid, fundamentally sound guy that I think has a NFL future as a starter. I've liked him since his junior year, so I am excited to take a closer look at him the rest of the week when I have the chance.
More after the jump...
Defensive Line:
Quentin Coples (DE) was the biggest winner out of anyone I watched today. The guy absolutely has top 5 talent, it's just a question of how much he wants it. He will be as good as he wants to be, so it's a question of desire and work ethic for judging him. Hopefully I'll be able to get a sense of that throughout the week. He is just so athletic for his size that he had me drooling at his potential as a strong side end in a 4-3. He's not an ideal right end in my opinion but as a left end he could be one of the best in the league if he wants it bad enough. I just hope he lands somewhere with a great defensive line coach that can light a fire under him. With Coples, we are looking at a legit edge rusher. Speed to turn the corner and athletic ability that isn't matched by anyone on the field for his size (6-6, 281).
Melvin Ingram (OLB/DE) looked very fluid in pass rush drills, showed an impressive variety of pass rush moves and consistently won 1 on 1 battles in the pit. I think he is fluid enough to be a 3-4 OLB and I think he has enough strength and power to play 4-3 DE. He's a versatile player that will likely earn a 1st round grade from me once I'm able to watch him more on tape. Melvin Ingram showed good quickness and ability to get to the quarterback. He had a very good session in 1 on 1′s and I think Mike Mayock made a good point that if he gets drafted into a system with a plan in place to use him in different slots on all three downs, he could be a very valuable first round selection.
Courtney Upshaw (OLB/DE) is such a physically impressive player. He's not a freak from a measurables standpoint but you can tell he's going to be a quality player in the NFL from watching him. He's so strong and physical that I would never bet against him. His lack of length might limit his upside a bit, but there's no question he can be a starting outside linebacker in a 3-4 or maybe even a 4-3 left end. I just haven't watched him enough yet, but I like his game. Size, quickness, hand placement, burst, effort–he is truly a five-tool player. He is an elite talent and is a future NFL star. Right now, he looks like a man among boys regardless if it's the second practice or not, and I think he was ready for the NFL last year and has really turned up his game.
Shea McClellin (DE) One player that really impressed me today was Shea McClellin (Boise State). He's very athletic, has impressive burst and really gave the offensive tackles trouble in 1 on 1's today. I love his potential as a 3-4 outside linebacker. I haven't seen him in coverage this week, but I really think he has the potential to be 1st rounder and an impact player at that position. He looks better every day at the linebacker position. He's been planted in the middle today and has done a great job remaining patient with assignments, smoothly moving across the field and showing a good degree of awareness.
Vinny Curry (OLB/DE) of Marshall is once again displaying a lot of quickness and athleticism. He looks more and more like he'll be a natural as a 3-4 outside linebacker rather than at defensive end. Mike Adams of Ohio State is really having a tough time this morning handling Vinny Curry. Curry has convincingly beat the big tackle off the snap every time. Curry was just moved inside to defensive tackle and annihilated Kevin Zeitler with a swim move. He shows very good burst off the snap of the football and used some rip moves on Wednesday's practice to beat the offensive lineman rather than just bull rushing or running around them like he did the days previously. Vinny Curry of Marshall really stood out today and was impossible to stop at times. He's at a disadvantage, as he's been used solely at defensive end and never allowed to stand up over tackle, but scouts leave the morning and the week highly impressed with his athleticism, quickness and general feel as a pass rusher.
Cam Johnson (DE) of Virginia has displayed a lot of quickness and speed off the edge in one-on-one drills. He continues to consistently get pressure and showed well against the run in Wednesday's practice.
Alameda Ta'amu (DT) of Washington is still showing tremendous power and has been tough to stop. On the last play he drove Ohio State center Mike Brewster into the backfield, three yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Brandon Thompson (DT) has solid measurables and packed 311 pounds onto his 6'2" frame but his burst and quickness is my favorite part about his game. He gets off the ball very quickly and overwhelmed some of the interior linemen on the South today. He was consistently disruptive all practice and looks like a quality 3-tech in the NFL, perhaps a similar player to Jonathan Babineaux on the Atlanta Falcons.
Jaye Howard (DT) is a guy I've liked since I watched him play over the course of his junior season and I was happy to get to see him live today. He's lighter than I would have liked right now, but he beat Cordy Glenn a couple times in 1 on 1 drills. He's got some burst and athleticism, but I'd like to see him get stronger and get up above 300 pounds for sure.
Mike Martin (DT) also continues to look good, making the most of his ability with his unstoppable effort. Mike Martin and Ohio State C Michael Brewster went at it at practice and it got a little chippy. Both guys really play hard and it was a fun battle to see.
Derek Wolfe (DT) of Cincinnati looks good this morning. He does not get a lot of penetration, but he's quick and impossible to move off the line of scrimmage.
Tydreke Powell (DT) showed some ability as bull-rusher in 1 on 1 drills when he was able to push his man off the ball, but did not showed the ability to shed and looked like 2-down guys in the NFL. Powell plays too high at times and negates his strength, and on film I've seen him try to penetrate upfield and make plays in the backfield despite his lack of great burst or quickness. He's a mid-round guy in my opinion, and I'm not sure he has much upside
Jerod-Eddie (DT) (to Tydreke Powell) is similar but when I've seen him he seems like he has a bit better gap responsibility, but I haven't done enough study on him yet. He seems like he could possibly be a 3-4 defensive end, but if he plays defensive tackle in a 4-3 he would strictly be a run stopper.
Janoris Jenkins (CB) is quietly one of the best players at this event. He is showing dominance in man coverage and is looking like he's really turned himself into a legit top 32 selection.
There is a lot of intrigue going around right now about Louisiana-Lafayette Dwight Bentley(CB). He had a very good season and while he got off to a slow start to practice on Tuesday, he made some nice plays.
Mike Mayock has Iowa State cornerback Leonard Johnson(CB) rated ahead of Alabama CB Dre' Kirkpatrick. I have Johnson rated as a 2nd-3rd round pick.
There have been some concerns about Alfonzo Dennard's(CB) recovery speed. He likes to take a lot of risks but is a very sound player fundamentally and should be a solid first or second round pick for any team. Leonard Johnson had his best day of practice and showed he's not afraid to mix it up and get physical on Wednesday. Leonard told me after practice he was looking forward to being able to play press coverage and get in the receivers faces.
Harrison Smith (SS) of Notre Dame has struggled. He looks good in pads but in scrimmage and during drills looks solely like a straight-line, downhill safety with limited skills in coverage.
Offensive Line:
Cordy Glenn (OG) was a very pleasant surprise as I didn't expect a great week from him. He didn't show much bend in his waist and had an impressive ability to anchor and sustain. He's an impressive player that might be able to stick outside at tackle or succeed inside at guard. He's definitely above Kelechi Osemele on my board right now.
Senio Kelemete (OG) of Washington was pushed inside to guard today and was effective. He's a solid athlete and his ability to block with sound fundamentals (knee bend, hand placement) is impressive.
Zebrie Sanders (OT) an impressive athlete with a good first step, he can get out of his stance quickly and block down on defensive tackles which I liked. He really needs to get stronger in the lower body though and his hand placement was an issue today. He was letting his hands get too far outside which will draw holding calls and limit his ability to control the defender after he's engaged him. He's struggled to "finish" blocks as well. Multiple times in 1 on 1's he had won the battle right up until the end when Coples or Ingram would finish and he didn't. Sustaining that block and playing to the whistle isn't always something you can coach. He's got the athleticism and the length to play left tackle though, he just needs some coaching and weight training. I still have a late 1st round grade on him, but he's obviously not perfect.
Jeff Allen (OT) continues to impress. He's one of those players that the more I've watched him the more I like him. He's definitely a sleeper at left tackle right now and while he struggled with Coples a couple times today, so did everyone. Allen held his own all day though and impressed scouts without a doubt. He's got left tackle ability and will definitely go higher than people think. He could go in the 2nd round when all is said and done.
Philip Blake (C) impressed me today. He showed a strong anchor and looked pretty good at guard and at center today. I will definitely be keeping an eye on him the rest of the week.
Ben Jones (C) did not impress me today. He was consistently beat off the snap by quicker players like Brandon Thompson and struggled to anchor against stronger players. He's an average athlete that is a mid-late round player in my opinion, definitely not a 2nd or 3rd round Center. His stock is on its way down in my opinion.
William Vlachos (C) also looked bad today. His arms just look remarkably short (he measured in with 30 inch arms, which is not good for an offensive lineman) and he struggled to anchor today as well. He looks like a late round player to me.
Matt McCants (OT) had a bad day as well outside at tackle. He was victimized multiple times by Coples and Ingram as well as Courtney Upshaw. He has little strength in his lower body and it showed today. But he doesn't look like an impressive athlete and just flat got beat off the edge a couple of times today. He's not earning a high grade from me either, though I still need to study him.
Will Blackwell (OG) didn't look very good though he was solid. He's an average player in my eyes, not sure how much starting potential he has. He's got a draftable grade from me, but didn't impress me too much today.
Wide Receivers/ Tight Ends:
Marvin McNutt (WR) of Iowa looks improved this morning. Early-week jitters may have resulted in some stiffness and dropped passed but thus far he's looked very smooth and has caught the ball well. He has good hands and can really snatch the ball out of the air. He is really effective on short, underneath routes and on deep balls. His ability to go up and get the ball will make him an effective NFL player regardless of his 40 time.
Marvin Jones (WR) continued to show strong in practices. Jones continues to beat press coverage and drive defenders off in his cuts. He doesn't seem to waste any movement in his routes either and seems to catch everything. We spoke of his route-running skills and but he's also a heady ball player. He just did a terrific job staying with the action and following his quarterback across the field, finding the open space to help out the signal caller, who was about to be sacked. Jones also gives maximum effort on every play and held his own in run blocking drills.
Brian Quick (WR) isn't fast off the line of scrimmage, but he's big and strong enough to beat press coverage and runs routes well. He began catching the ball more with his hands today rather than letting everything into his body. His body type really reminds me of Brandon Marshall and the drops won't move my comparison anywhere.
Devier Posey (WR) of Ohio State continues to impress with his physcal skills. He shows exceptional quickness in and out of routes and a nice burst of speed. He hasn't shown the strong hands or ability to pluck the ball from the air, but to his credit Posey has not dropped many passes the past three days.
Juron Criner (WR) made a sick one-handed catch in one-on-one drills today that drew the attention of, pretty much everyone. Criner has good size and if he can flash more of that kind of ability, he could really rise on our board.
TJ Graham (WR) of North Carolina State has displayed a great burst of speed in drills and just ran by Leonard Johnson for a deep pass. Graham has elevated his stock the past three days.
Doug Martin (WR) is impressing outside of special teams drills, too. He's showing terrific quickness and just put a great move on former Boise State teammate Shea McClellin to come free in the flat for a nice reception. Martin has shown soft, strong hands all week.
Chris Rainey(RB/WR) took some reps at receiver on Tuesday and looked pretty good. I saw a comparison of Dexter McCluster thrown out there and that might be a pretty good one. Still early.
Ladarius Green (TE) is my favorite tight end on this roster. He's my #2 TE in Mobile behind only Michael Egnew, but Green may have just as much upside as any tight end in the draft. His combination of pure size and athleticism is extremely intriguing and like Egnew he has good hands. He needs work as a blocker, but if the effort and work ethic is there that can be coached. But he will be a helluva match-up problem as a receiver who can be split out in the NFL, and those joker tight ends are all the rage right now. He looks like a 2nd or 3rd round prospect to me
Deangelo Peterson (TE) is another player I've liked all year. He's a sleeper because he never got much of a chance to show what he can do as a receiver at LSU, so he could surprise people once he gets to the next level. He's got pretty good hands, size and athleticism and should end up in the 4th round or maybe a little higher on draft day.
Brad Smelley (TE) has had a solid couple of days. He's not an early-round guy by any means, but he's draftable and has the work ethic to be a contributor on special teams and work his way up the tight end depth chart despite his lack of great size and athleticism.

ULife Golf Classic: Corporations Give Back
University Life at George Mason University works in partnership with the corporate community to raise funds for diversity and leadership education initiatives––namely Student Transition
Empowerment Program (STEP) and Early Identification Program (EIP). ULife hosted its annual Diversity Scholarship Golf Classic at the South Riding Golf Club in Virginia. Sandy Spring Bank (the title-sponsor) alongside Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BMW, Domino's Pizza and other corporations contributed approximately $30K in donations. Since its inception, the University Life Golf Classic has been the source of more than $100,000 in scholarships.
ULife Golf Classic: Corporations Give Back
Both the Mason and corporate communities show support for the EIP and its students in many ways. Over the past year, two major fundraising events, the 2011 University Life Diversity Scholarship Golf Classic and the 2011 George Mason University Northrop Grumman Diversity Scholarship
Classic, have reaped huge benefits for our students. Because of this support, more than 25 EIP students attending Mason were awarded some form of scholarship. The awards were given to students who have excelled academically and have made contributions to the EIP or the S.T.E.P programs. EIP would like to recognize Sandy Spring Bank and Northrop Grumman for serving as the lead sponsors for the golf classics. We would also like to recognize QinetiQ, CACI, Lockheed Martin, Enterprise Rental, State Farm Insurance, Northrop Grumman Credit Union, Dell Computers, Xerox, Golden Gate, HITT Contracting, Marriott, Cardinal Bank, Brion"s Grill, Akin, Gump, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P., Robert Baumgartner, Carlson, Hale and Baumgartner, UNISource, Price Modern, Ms. Terry Wang, Mr. Tony Pierce, and Mr. William Washington for their contributions. The University Life Diversity Scholarship Golf Classic was capped off with a warm speech by former NFL player and NFL Hall of Fame nominee Mr. Brian Mitchell. Thank you again to Mr. and Mrs. Green, EIP and University Life staff, the UL Advisory Board, the Development Office, and the many individuals who helped make each event successful.
Corporate Support Helps Change Lives
During the Fall semester, several EIP Students enrolled at Mason were awarded the George Mason University Diversity Scholarship, sponsored by Northrop Grumman, Northrop Grumman Credit Union, and from the 2010 GMU University Life Diversity Golf Classic. The golf tournament sponsors included: Sandy Spring Bank, US Operations of CACI, QinetiQ, Lockheed Martin, former Redskin Mr. Brian Mitchell, Systems Applications, Inc., Triumph Technologies, Inc., New World Bilingual Institute, and Mr. Anthony Pierce. In total, 18 EIP Students enrolled at Mason were awarded scholarship for the Spring Semester of 2011.

Rising star Rory MacDonald will take on future Hall of Famer B.J. Penn at UFC 152, and apparently it wasn't his idea. He famously called out Penn on The MMA Hour, and Penn responded by surprisingly accepting the bout. MacDonald told MMAFrenzy that he was encouraged by the UFC to call Penn out:
"The UFC had expressed interest in seeing Penn & I fight," admitted MacDonald in an interview with MMAFrenzy. "At the time I had no idea that BJ was considering coming out of retirement. So I thought I would jump at the chance to fight him."
He believes that an exciting win would push him into the top five at 170:
"I believe that this sport is performance based," MacDonald explained. "If BJ and I go out there and put on a boring fight no one will want to see me fight the other top guys currently in the spotlight. On the flip side I can put on an exciting, technical fight and walk away victorious then it puts me in the mix and in the top five of the welterweight division."
He also discussed how teammate and UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre might help him with the bout, since he has faced (and defeated) Penn twice:
"When it comes to fighting I can only rely on myself," MacDonald said. "Of course Georges can give me pointers and tips, but in the end it's my fight and not his."
Right now it looks like the bout will be the co-main event in Toronto on September 22nd, and that's pretty damn good co-main. I personally can't wait for this fight.

A thief stole an Albany woman's wheelchair. It happened at the east Albany Walmart last Friday.
The stroke victim has had a hard time getting around for the last week. WALB News Ten's Tayleigh talked to her about that difficulty and the crime.
Shirley Powell said she and her husband went shopping at the new Walmart. She folded up her wheelchair and got into a mobilized chair to shop.
When she went back for her chair, it was gone. Powell has used a wheelchair since 2006. She's been without one for almost a week.
"This is my first time hearing about a wheelchair getting stolen," Powell said.
Powell says she and her husband Charles went to the east Albany Walmart Friday. She got a mobilized chair and put her wheelchair next to the wall near the entrance. The Powells shopped for about an hour. When they were ready to leave, the wheelchair was gone.
"At first, I thought somebody was playing a little joke," Powell added. "We sat there for 45 minutes and never saw the wheelchair. We just came to the house."
The Powells filed a police report and contacted Albany Home Patient care to receive a new wheelchair through medicare.
"It's a sad case that we're getting to the point where people are stealing other peoples' property," said Customer Service Representative, Shannon Kohler.
Charles said he's helped his wife as much as possible this week. Even with a cane, it's hard for her to get around.
"It's straight illiterate for you to go around and take a hard-earning person's stuff. It's wrong,"said Mr. Powell.
The Powells don't plan on coming back to the east Albany location any time soon.
We did contact Walmart. A manager says she had no knowledge of the theft even though the Powells said they spoke with Walmart personnel and filed a police report last Friday.
The happy ending to this story is that Albany Home Patient Care delivered a new wheelchair to Mrs. Powell Friday evening.

We have lost the habit of counting to ten.
You don't remember? I'm not surprised —counting to ten when you're mad was recently raised in a forum on leadership as if it was a new and unique idea. "Get out of the situation for a minute or two. Take a walk. Count to ten." It's what my mother always told me to do when I was mad. Count, breath, and think before you speak, especially when you're emotional.
But we're no longer listening. We're in total thrall to our emotions. For instance, what happens when a politician plays the race card? Here's a political strategist explaining the process of playing the race card:
…she explained how to lure white voters to her side even while crying racism: "Don't make the mistake of telling them they're in the problem. It's emotional connection, not rational connection that we need … Explain how each racial group is affected (recognize the unique pain of each group), but start with people who are White … then raise racial disparities." -quoted by Big Government
There it is, explained as plain as day. The race card is the emotion card. The war on women, the war on bullies, the final plea from supporters of gay marriage —it's always some variant of the emotion card.
Enough already. Learn to count to ten. Not just when you're mad, but when someone says, "don't you care…," or saying you're mean, or a bully, or bigoted. All of these are preludes to the playing of the emotion card, the final trump in the left's political ammunition. They'll try rational arguments first, of course, but these arguments will always be flawed enough that anyone who's reasonably well informed will be able to shred them. When they've lost the intellectual battle, they'll play the emotion card, either in the form of racism, sexism, or accusations of bullying.
Count to ten, and you'll learn to recognize the emotion card for what it is, and learn to defend yourself, to bring the discussion back on topic. Or you'll figure out that you should just walk away at this point. What often follows, if you don't cave to the emotion card, is foul language and name calling.
Count to ten, think about it, and then make a rational choice. Don't give in to the emotion card, no matter what form its in.

With normal and above normal temperatures finally returning to the area, our HUGE amount of snow that has plagued the area since December will be dwindling. The first thing that comes to mind with this type of situation is the flood potential as the water starts to flow into the many lakes, creeks, and rivers in the area. Despite the widespread 1 to 3 foot snow pack, the North Central River Forecast Center is NOT expecting widespread heavy flooding. That being said, as with any spring thaw, scattered localized flooding is still likely especially with the large amount of ice on area waterways which will create a recipe for ice jams. The jams can cause a very quick and significant rise in water levels in local spots throughout the next several weeks.
So what is the spring flood potential?? Well, despite the large amount of snow, and the several inches of water stored in that snow (which can be seen in the picture below) the spring runoff looks near or sub average. But this entirely depends on temperatures and precipitation seen over the next month. Here is the current spring flood outlook. These are maps that show the chances for minor, moderate, or major flooding at river gauges across the north central US.
Amount of Liquid Water Locked Away in the Snow
Minor Flood Potential
Moderate Flood Potential
Major Flood Potential
With just about any spring thaw, minor flooding can be expected in many areas, but the current forecast shows that even a little flooding isn't all that likely in most spots. You can see a couple of areas along the Minnesota, St. Croix, and Mississippi show yellow and orange dots indicating a 40 to 80 percent chance of minor flooding… but if you look just to our southeast… parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan have widespread areas that exceed 80 percent.
If you move onto the moderate flood potential, percentages get even lower and the major flood potential across our area is pretty much nill. But again, this is under the current conditions with normal precipitation and temperatures over the next few weeks. If a large storm were to arrive and drop an inch or two of rain or another foot or two of snow, then the flood forecast will change drastically. This is one of those times when just one storm can cause major issues. Keep your fingers crossed and stay away from the creeks, streams, and rivers as they start to rise.

Austin Police are warning citizens to be careful of car thieves during the holiday season. Police say that during this time of year they may see an increase in auto burglaries.
The Auto Theft Interdiction Project, or ATIP, will be walking the target parking lot at Tech Ridge in North Austin placing crime prevention notices on vehicles.
Austin Police are doing this to raise awareness about auto theft and vehicle burglary. According to police, a vehicle in Texas is burglarized every two and a half minutes.
Additionally, the number of burglaries go up during the holidays because more people are shopping and do not take the necessary precautions to protect personal items left in vehicles.
Austin Police offer the following tips to protect yourself from thieves:
Police say that more than 50,000 vehicles are stolen in Texas each year simply because they were not locked.

Un becomes 2: North Korea confirms Kim is married
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea ended weeks of speculation yesterday by confirming that the mystery woman beside young leader Kim Jong Un at recent public events is indeed his wife, "comrade Ri Sol Ju."
The news was buried in a state TV report about Kim's tour of a new amusement park, delivered casually by a newscaster who gave no details about Ri, including how long she and Kim have been married.
Kim, who inherited rule of North Korea from his father, Kim Jong Il, seven months ago, has been seen with Ri at a concert, a kindergarten visit and other events recently, but state media did not mention her before now, fuelling widespread speculation about her identity.
Analysts said the announcement was a calculated move by Kim and his advisers as they forge the image of the 20-something leader who took power following the December death of Kim Jong Il.
"Kim Jong Un is breaking with his father's secrecy-shrouded leadership," said Lim Eul-chul, a North Korea expert at South Korea's Kyungnam University. "The revelation of his wife is a sign that Kim wants to show a more open leadership."
The couple's public appearances and yesterday's brief marriage announcement are a striking contrast to Kim Jong Il's style. His 17-year rule was known for its secrecy, and his companions and children were rarely discussed. That includes Kim Jong Un, who was virtually unknown outside North Korea before his formal introduction to the world in late 2010.
North Korean media showed Kim and Ri smiling broadly, Kim leaning slightly toward her, as they inspected the newly opened Rungna People's Pleasure Ground.
The new leader's methods are considered more similar to his grandfather, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, who was often shown alongside his wife, Kim Jong Suk, and with children in his arms.
Ahn Chan-il, a political scientist at the World Institute for North Korea Studies in South Korea, said the marriage revelation suggests Kim is inching toward "more Western-style" leadership; it also helps ordinary North Koreans feel that their new ruler is an average guy, not an eccentric.
There have been other changes during Kim Jong Un's rule, including his promotion of younger officials and, most recently, his surprise dismissal of former military chief Ri Yong Ho, once seen as a key mentor during Kim's rise to power.
Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based analyst with the International Crisis Group, played down the possibility that recent signs of Western influence in North Korea mean real reform is coming soon.
Still, he said that Kim Jong Un's decision to publicise the woman's presence shows a leadership quality distinct from his guarded father. Marriage, Pinkston said, would ease worries among Kim's people and the much older officials serving under him "about the youth question."
South Koreans have closely followed the bits and pieces North Korea has released about Kim Jong Un and his companion, including their attendance at a concert where Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters performed, at a memorial for Kim Il Sung and at inspections of various North Korean sites.
The reports on those earlier events never identified her, though there was speculation that she was North Korea's first lady because of her poised demeanour and her habit of standing near Kim and apart from other officials.

"I can't talk about anything except the Drudge video today." - nobody—
Jake Beckman (@jakebeckman) October 03, 2012
Perhaps you haven't heard since "nobody" finds it newsworthy, but Tuesday night The Daily Caller, Fox News and the Drudge Report broke a story about candidate Obama's racially divisive, lie-peppered speech in front of a predominantly black Virginia audience.
"Old news." Nothing to see here. Move along. That's why, as Bloomberg TV editor Jake Beckman points out, "nobody" is talking about it today.

Holiday Favorites: Week 1 Winner
6 Comments | Written on October 26, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
We have our first winner in the new "Holiday Favorites" Recipe Contest! Congrats to Holly B. for her outstanding Crock-Pot recipe! This winning dish is the perfect addition to our week of slow cooker recipes.
Tell us all about your winning recipe!
"I came up with the recipe by playing around. I love my slow cooker and use it at least 2-3 times per week. I'm a busy mother of two and I work part time, volunteer, run kids to baseball, cub scouts, music class, etc… The slow cooker really saves me time. The first time I made this I used dried cherries, but for the sake of this contest thought I'd give a try with something a bit more festive and it was great. Bread pudding is a comfort food for me that evokes a happy feeling of coziness. I think of my family enjoying it while cuddling next to the fireplace on a cold winter day.
I'm a big experimenter when it comes to cooking. We hardly ever eat the same thing twice. I only recently got into the habit of writing recipes down when I experiment because my husband would keep requesting a 'repeat', and it's really the praise from my husband and son that made me think I could actually win a contest!"
Since the theme for this contest is "Holiday Favorites," can you share with us some of your favorite holiday memories?
"Some of my favorite holiday memories are of food. My mother was a wonderful cook, and growing up Christmas Eve was always the best night of the year to me. We had an intimate celebration of only our family of five, and my mom always went all out creating a smorgasbord of elegant hors d'oevres and desserts.
Now with my husband, we take turns hosting Christmas for his huge family and extended family which totals near 30 people. It's quite a difference, and it's not Christmas for the Bauer family if there is not Baked Ham. The first time I made it for them I made it with a pineapple glaze. My father-in-law almost fell over. He was raised in a German family and spoke only German for part of his life. The thought of fruit with his ham put him in near cardiac arrest. He got over it, and I now prefer my holiday ham with brown sugar glaze, and studded with cloves."
Thanks so much, Holly! Now, let's check out your winning dish!
Bread pudding is the ultimate comfort food–and so easy to make in a slow cooker. A great holiday recipe when time is short and the oven is full.
6 cups cubed bread, any variety
4 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp brandy
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries
8 oz whipping cream
Powdered sugar to taste
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, about 10 minutes. Whisk the milk, eggs, sugar, brandy, vanilla, salt in a large bowl. Combine bread cubes and dried cranberries in the slow cooker. Pour egg mixture over the bread and press down lightly until all bread is covered with custard. Cover and cook on low until the pudding is just set, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove insert and cool on a rack, about 25 minutes. Use a wire whisk or electric mixer to beat whipping cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold in powdered sugar to taste. Spoon pudding into serving dishes and top with whipped cream.
Number of Servings: 8
Notes: You may also add a combination of chopped dried apples and cranberries or other dried fruits.

2013-2014 Visiting Fellows
The Institute's Visiting Fellowship annually brings to the University two scholars whose research addresses issues arising at the intersection of faith and culture. During the academic year, each Fellow takes up residence at Boston College and makes two public seminar presentations on the work produced during the period of the grant. The Institute Fellows contribute to the intellectual exchange and inquiry within the University as they advance their own research.
The 2013-2014 Visiting Fellows:
Born in Vigo (Spain) in 1967, Fernando M. Vidal holds a Ph.D. in Sociology and is Professor at Comillas Pontifical University (the Jesuit University in Madrid, Spain). He is the director of the Instituto Universitario de la Familia (Institute for Family) at Comillas, president of the Social Sciences Group at the International Federation of Catholic Universities, and president of the Rais Foundation (http://www.raisfundacion.org), an NGO for homeless people. His academic interests and expertise are in the areas of Social Exclusion, Social Innovation, Family & Childhood, Social Reconciliation, Social & Cultural Capital, Religion and Modernity.
Project Title: The Jesuit Ethic and the Spirit of Social Work. Cultural Capital and reconciliation Paradigm of Social Work.
How can faith create cultural capital for the empowerment of excluded people? And how can such cultural capital contribute to Social Reconciliation? Social Reconciliation is a potential, new paradigm for Social Work at the crossroads where Faith, Culture, the Jesuit Social Apostolate and the Global Practice of Social Work meet. Social Reconciliation is one of the most profound paradigms in Social Work, and the creation of the concept of cultural capital is an essential instrument for its development. Ignatian spirituality and the Jesuit praxis of Social Work can help us to generate this new framework and practical tools. Professor Vidal's project is a broad, in-depth investigation that utilizes interdisciplinary sources, especially from Social Work, Sociology, Philosophy, Theology, and Anthropology to analyze reconciliation as a paradigm, a methodology, a framework and a practice in Social Work.
During his stay at the Jesuit Institute he will develop:
a) a paradigm of Social Reconciliation applied to Social Work based on the 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus.
b) a new methodology for organizational and strategic social design based on the Advanced Logical Framework Approach (ALFA) and the business model.

Born in Milan (Italy) in 1975, Daniele V. Filippi studied Musicology in Cremona and in Heidelberg, and completed his PhD in 2004. His research interests focus on sacred and spiritual music between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He has published books and articles on Palestrina, Victoria, de Monte, and G.F. Anerio.
Project Title: The Soundscape of Early Modern Catholicism
This project is the second phase of a research started at the University of Pavia (Italy) in 2010 under the title "A History of Sonic Experience in the Renaissance" (http://www.sonicexperience.org/). Its object is to investigate the sonic culture of early modern Catholicism, trying to answer questions like: How central was the experience of sound (or of its absence) in everyday Catholic life? What was the ideal Catholic soundscape like, according to ecclesiastical documents, preaching, spiritual literature, etc.? And how did this ideal soundscape interact with the sonic reality of the time? Focusing mainly on sixteenth-century Italy, and going beyond the boundaries of 'liturgical music', I will explore these problems both in a systematic way and through case studies.

CARY — The Middle Creek softball team is still perfect in conference play, and it showed why on Friday against visiting Green Hope.
After Green Hope cut a two-run lead in half with Falcons catcher Lexi Ross scoring on a Middle Creek throwing error, the Mustangs answered emphatically.
A three-RBI double by Middle Creek senior Emily Franks in the bottom of the fourth put the Mustangs up for good, as they went on to win 10-3.
Sophomore pitcher Kylie Majette allowed just five hits and one earned run for Middle Creek (5-1, 4-0)
Putting up numbers: Majette, a lefty, hit her spots consistently for six strikeouts and just one walk in seven innings pitched.
"Our pitchers, they know that that's their job," Middle Creek coach Robbie Wray said. "If they can throw like she did tonight, we're going to be in most ballgames. She did a phenomenal job."
At the plate, Majette went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Other top hitters for Middle Creek were: senior Camille Hobson, who went 2-for-2 with a double; Franks, who went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two doubles; and junior Erica Adams, who recorded a three-RBI triple.
What worked: When Middle Creek was able to get runners on base, its bats came alive in a big way. Leading 2-1 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third, Franks ripped a crucial double that stretched the lead to 5-1. Any threat of a Green Hope comeback was ruled out on by Adams, the No. 8 hitter for the Mustangs, on her triple in the bottom of the fifth.
Needs improvement: Errors proved costly for the Falcons (2-4, 1-3) in both the third and fourth innings. A fly ball off the bat of Majette was bobbled in left field in the third, and Majette scored two batters later.
In the following inning, Middle Creek sophomore Alie Burghardt laid down a bunt that produced a run when the throw to first missed its target, scoring the Mustangs' Megan Walker.

EA Sports just acquired the rights to NBA Jam and will have an updated version exclusively for the Wii.
From 1993, son. Nothing felt better than the Tisdale to Richmond connection on my SNES.
Since this is an update, I thought it'd be interesting to see who should represent YOUR Sacramento Kings. Not much is known about the format so for simplicity's sake, let's assume it'll be like the original and only feature two Kings players. We all know if it were Tournament Edition-style we'd have Evans, Martin, Casspi, and Thompson for sure with Garcia/Hawes/Greene as a fifth person.

John Goodman mistrial? Dennis DeMartin, juror 'Number 6,' accused of withholding information
Defense attorneys say DeMartin's wife has DUI past
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Juror "Number 6" in the John Goodman trial is back in the spotlight as new allegations of misconduct sparked renewed cries for a retrial in the Goodman case.
Judge Colbath will interview DeMartin to determine if he was able to impartially judge the polo mogul. He has until mid-May to complete the questioning.
Goodman's defense team says it uncovered information that DeMartin's ex-wife was once arrested for DUI. Defense attorneys said DeMartin intentionally withheld that information during jury selection.
"As soon as we found out that mister DeMartin had published a third book, we immediately ordered it, and, to our surprise, he tells this whole story about his then-wife having this DUI and all these problems and how much it affected him," defense attorney Roy Black said in a telephone interview.
DeMartin said he was surprised that he was once again in the headlines.
"I can't get away from anything," he said outside his Delray Beach home Monday night. "I told them that there are parts of my life before that I can't recall since my stroke," speaking about the first line of questions he had ever received from Goodman lawyers. "That's all I told them."
"I told them to check my first book," DeMartin said. "And it's in the first chapter of my first book 'Believing in the Truth'. It's all right there of what the attorney asked me and everything."
When asked if he should have disclosed more information about his ex-wife, he said, "No. I didn't know about it at that time because of a stroke. I blocked out when she left me for another man and everything".
"I didn't talk to her until December when her mother died and I went and visited her and then a whole bunch of things happened at that time," he said.
DeMartin contends that a 'lapse in memory' from a stroke was the reason he did not disclose information about his ex-wife to attorneys. He said he wrote about his memory issues in his book. "It said that I'm worried about things that happened in the past that I can't recall and he knew that," he said.
DeMartin has been questioned about allegations of juror misconduct before, after he revealed in his book that he conducted his own 'drinking experiment' with three vodka and tonics, to see how impaired Goodman may have been the night Goodman's vehicle collided with Scott Wilson's, killing the 23-year-old.
Goodman was sentenced to sixteen years in prison for the crash. He's currently on house arrest.
Black said, "Now, the court is going to determine whether or not mister Goodman got a fair trial. It has been our position, from the beginning, that this entire process has been flawed."

Russell Brand at the Palace of Fine Arts
It's been three long years since San Francisco has seen comedian-actor Russell Brand on stage, but the hilarious character who had us dying of laughter in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek is making a special one-night-only appearance at the Palace of Fine Arts on Nov. 29. Brand is bringing us a night of stand-up to benefit the David Lynch Foundation (yes, as in the infamous Twin Peaks David Lynch), an organization that provides stress-reducing meditation for at-risk youth, veterans, and the homeless.
Brand has been a supporter for many years and credits this type of meditation for helping him overcome his own addictions. So, no doubt, he'll be talking about his commitment to the foundation and his involvement over the years. He recently wrapped filming the movie adaptation of '80s musical Rock of Ages (scheduled for release next summer), so chances are we'll get that inside scoop about that experience. And if we're lucky, he'll indulge us with details about married life with Katy Perry, being a newly-christened vegan, and why he calls himself an S&M Willy Wonka.
Get tickets here.
$50-$75; Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m.; Palace of Fine Arts, 3301 Lyon St., 888-233-0449, davidlynchfoundation.org

We profiled this new short film Brotherly Love, written, directed and co-starring Choice Skinner (who's a devoted reader of S & A) last summer, and the reaction from readers for the trailer was tremendous.
We're therefore happy to report that the film will have its premiere next week at the NewFilmmakers Film Festival in Los Angeles on Dec. 15.
The festival takes place at the Sunset Gower Studios in LA located at 1438 N. Gower St. For more info about the festival go HERE and once again here's the trailer for the film:
Lulu | December 8, 2011 12:01 AM
While the actors in the film are African American, I do not view the film as a black film centered on âbrotherhood and violence in the black communityâ. The film has a message. It is a positive message. As the trailer indicated it is about a âlesson in love and forgivenessâ. Too often, we see films with no substance and with no purpose in Hollywood. Actually, that's most of the films in Hollywood. Mindless entertainment. âBrotherly Loveâ introduces the audience to the lives of three brothers who still love each other despite these life changing events which will permanently change all of their lives.
To judge a film by the movie poster is simply myopic. Myopic. Have you heard of âDont' judge a book by its coverâ? The fact that you are scrutinizing the film's poster is quite silly and embarrassing. I am sorry that the director and production company did not create a film poster pleasing to your taste.
To judge a film by the music is also myopic. The film is a drama and the music fits accordingly. I am sorry that the sound editor did not choose the techno music you eagerly had hoped to hear in the trailer.
Micah, you mention that it was âa bit melodramticâ. I believe you missed a critical point in the film. The youngest brother just shot someone. He is sobbing, uncontrollable tears. We see regret. We see pain. Of course, it's going to be dramatic. Pay closer attention to these characters. All three are saddened by this shooting.. Initially, there's chaos and violence but at the end we see a strong bond between all three brothers. We, the audience, see love. Three brothers bonded by love. We see it and we feel it. We connect with these characters. We see brotherly love.
darkan | December 6, 2011 8:43 PM
@ Micah & Sandra, wow... really guys? You see three strong black men who are brothers lovingly hugging in a photo and you readily assume the film is about something LGBT??? Then this generation is really lost. Perhaps YOU guys were hoping it was that type of film being that it seems the most important black films nowadays are about that subject but sorry to burst your bubble. This film shows masculine black men who have to deal with a horrible circumstance and how they come through it together. Which nowadays is almost rare! And yes it's very dramatic. Black men have problems and drama in their lives too, not just black women. SMH.
sandra | December 6, 2011 7:00 PM
Everything MICAH said!
Micah | December 6, 2011 8:27 AM
I would like to applaud the less common approach the filmmaker seems to be taking with the subjects of brotherhood and violence in the black community today. There is definitely a vulnerability to the characters and feeling of warmth between them.
It does seem a bit melodramatic though. That's partly due to the horrible music that I just can't take. The main picture used to advertise the film does make it kind of look like a LGBT film. If it is an LGBT film that's fine. If it's not they may want to consider a slightly different image that relays the message but doesn't give an unintended angle to the story.
Shawn Whitsell | December 5, 2011 10:47 PM
Reminds me of "The Outsiders."

Rethinking Deep ThroatDecember 22, 2008
From Stratfor, which has some amazing analysis:
In our view, Nixon was as guilty as sin of more things than were ever proven. Nevertheless, there is another side to this story. The FBI was carrying out espionage against the president of the United States, not for any later prosecution of Nixon for a specific crime (the spying had to have been going on well before the break-in), but to increase the FBI's control over Nixon. Woodward, Bernstein and above all, Bradlee, knew what was going on. Woodward and Bernstein might have been young and naive, but Bradlee was an old Washington hand who knew exactly who Felt was, knew the FBI playbook and understood that Felt could not have played the role he did without a focused FBI operation against the president. Bradlee knew perfectly well that Woodward and Bernstein were not breaking the story, but were having it spoon-fed to them by a master. He knew that the president of the United States, guilty or not, was being destroyed by Hoover's jilted heir.
This was enormously important news. The Washington Post decided not to report it. The story of Deep Throat was well-known, but what lurked behind the identity of Deep Throat was not. This was not a lone whistle-blower being protected by a courageous news organization; rather, it was a news organization being used by the FBI against the president, and a news organization that knew perfectly well that it was being used against the president. Protecting Deep Throat concealed not only an individual, but also the story of the FBI's role in destroying Nixon.

Review of "Roll, Jordan, Roll" by Eugene GenoveseDecember 21, 2008
This was certainly an interesting book. I read it after reading this recommendation:
If you want an accurate perspective of American slavery, I recommend Eugene Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll, which is a little Marxist but only superficially so. No work like it could be written today.
I thought it was a lot Marxist, but it didn't seem to matter. Genovese is a pretty interesting guy:
He was active in the Communist youth movement until he was expelled "for having zigged when I was supposed to zag." . . .
He was an editor of Studies on the Left and Marxist Perpectives. . . .
At an April 23, 1965, teach-in at Rutgers University where he was teaching, Genovese stated, "Those of you who know me know that I am a Marxist and a Socialist. Therefore, unlike most of my distinguished colleagues here this morning, I do not fear or regret the impending Viet Cong victory in Vietnam. I welcome it." . . .
In his best-known book Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made (1974), Genovese examined the society of the slaves. This book won the national Bancroft Prize in History. Genovese viewed the antebellum South as a closed and organically united paternalist society that exploited and attempted to dehumanize the slaves. Genovese paid close attention to the role of religion as a form of resistance in the daily life of the slaves because slaves used it to give themselves a sense of humanity. He redefined resistance to slavery as all efforts by which slaves rejected their status as slaves, including their religion, music and the culture they built. Genovese applied Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony to the slave South.
He placed paternalism at the center of the master-slave relationship. Both masters and slaves embraced paternalism, though for different reasons and with varying notions of what paternalism meant. For the slaveowners, paternalism allowed them to think of themselves as benevolent and to justify their appropriation of their slaves' labor. Paternalist ideology, they believed, also gave the institution of slavery a more benign face and helped deflate the increasingly strong abolitionist critique of the institution. Slaves, on the other hand, recognized that paternalist ideology could be twisted to suit their own ends, by providing them with improved living and working conditions. Slaves struggled mightily to convert the benevolent "gifts" or "privileges" bestowed upon them by their masters into customary rights which masters would not violate. The reciprocity of paternalism could work to the slaves' advantage by allowing them to demand more humane treatment from their masters.
Religion was an important theme in Roll, Jordan, Roll and other studies. Genovese noted that Evangelicals recognized slavery as the root of Southern ills and sought some reforms, but no substantial change of the system. Genovese's contention was that after 1830, southern Christianity became part of social control of the slaves. Furthermore, he argued that the slaves' religion was not conducive to millenarianism or a revolutionary political tradition. Rather, it helped them survive and resist. . . .
Genovese eventually converted to Catholicism and became a conservative, though he was a Southern, agrarian Conservative (thus while Conservative, he maintained some hostility to capitalism).
A couple other reviews can be found here and here. I found the later one particularly interesting:
Paternalism first. For Genovese, paternalism was an ideology rooted in the political economy of antebellum slavery, particularly in the efforts between 1831 and 1861 of a group of slaveholding "reformers" to stave off the growing antislavery movement in parts of the upper South and the nation at large. Through a set of managerial reforms and emotional transformations, Genovese argues, slaveholders attempted to "humanize" slavery while at the same time consolidating the institution's political position. Genovese gives a number of examples of what he means by slaveholding paternalism. Slaveholders, he tells us, "almost with one voice . . . denounced cruelty" (71). They "boasted of the physical or intellectual prowess of one or more of [their] blacks, much as the strictest father might boast of the prowess of a favored child" (73). They thought of their obligation to feed, clothe, and take care of their slaves as "a duty and a burden" upon themselves even as they tried to make their slaves' work "as festive as possible" (75, 60). They described their own children and their slaves as being part of a single "family black and white" (without any apparent ironic recognition of the degree to which this was often literally the case) (73). And they were genuinely shocked, dismayed, and devastated–"betrayed" is the word Genovese uses–when their erstwhile slaves took off in search of freedom at the end of the Civil War (97). At that historic moment (as well as at a host of local moments throughout the period of slavery), Genovese argues, it became clear that the slaveholders' actually believed what they were saying, that they "desperately needed the gratitude of their slaves in order to define themselves as moral human beings" (146). Slaveholders were themselves living lives defined and limited by slavery. . . .
Properly understood, the Gramscian notion of cultural hegemony is a theory of the transformation of rule into consent. At certain moments in time, the Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci argued, rule by a single class can be enforced not through violence, but through general, if unwitting, assent to a set of limiting definitions of the field of the politically possible. Gramsci's own analysis and much of the like-minded thinking that has followed it, has been particularly concerned with the ability of capitalist ruling classes to make their own dominance seem as if it is predicated upon universal participation and directed toward the common good. Following this line of argument, in Roll, Jordan, Roll, Genovese claims that slaveholders were able, through their paternalist ideology, to refigure what was fundamentally a system of class exploitation as a set of more local relationships between slaves and slaveholders–personal, familial, communal. Genovese does not argue that slaveholders always lived up to the rosiest promises of their paternalism, though he certainly thinks they tried. Rather he argues that paternalism provided the ideological mechanism through which they could disguise their exploitation of their slaves. By reformulating the class relationships of slavery as a system of reciprocal duties and obligations–you hew the wood and draw the water and I'll (have you) whitewash the slave quarter and clean out the latrine–slaveholders exerted hegemony over slaves, claiming that they ruled not in their own interested but in the interest of those they owned.
According to Roll, Jordan, Roll this hegemonic sleight of hand was generally successful. For even when their slaves rejected this claim and resisted their masters (as Genovese freely admits they often did), their resistance generally took the form of localized challenges to their owners' authority rather than large-scale, fully theorized collective revolts designed to overthrow slavery itself. In Genovese's formulation, and this is the heart of the argument, slowing down, playing sick, mouthing off, burning down buildings, and, even, assaulting and murdering masters and overseers did not weaken the authority of the slaveholders, but actually strengthened it. This because, first, these types of resistance formulated the problem of slavery as a problem that occurred upon an individual plantation or farm and between a master or overseer and a slave–they localized, personalized, and naturalized what Genovese believes could only be properly understood as a hemispheric system of class exploitation. And, second, because they bled away resistance energy that might have otherwise gathered into the collective fury of revolution. Day-to-day resistance to slavery was, by this argument, at best a "prepolitical" or even "apolitical" form of "accommodation," and at worst "pathetic nihilism."(598, 659). . . .
The basic question out of which Roll, Jordan, Roll unfolds its discussion of hegemony is this: why didn't North American slaves revolt more?
This review gets to the heart of the book, but it paints the book in a more extreme position that it takes. At times it is unfair. For example, the reviewer criticizes Genovese by quoting this sentence, "The slaveholders were heroes." This quotation is one of the most out-of-context quotations I've ever seen. The context is:
And they wallowed in those deformities which their slaves had thrust upon them in the revenge of historical silence–deformities which would eventually lead them to destruction as a class. The Chinese have a proverb: "A hero may risk his whole world but will never surrender his concubine or his horse." The slaveholders were heroes.
So take the review with a heavy dosage of salt.
Our understanding of slavery comes from what is essentially propaganda, as Mr Moldbug pointed out. Genovese's analysis of slavery paints a picture that is much less black and white. It's a picture that economists have re-discovered more recently. It's also a picture that is much more believable, if one stops to think about how life was actually lived in the South. The overall condition of blacks in the South was probably better than the overall condition of many workers in the North or in Europe. Unlike in other slave societies, blacks in the South lived in very close proximity to their masters. Their children often played together. Contact with people outside this "family" was often somewhat rare.
Genovese's South is a region riddled with contradiction to deal with this reality. A whole philosophy developed to contain these contradictions. We find interesting dynamics in which, as slavery became more entrenched, it could become more humane (relatively speaking, of course): "the slave regime of the Old South became progressively more repressive with respect to manumission as it became progressively more humane with respect to the material conditions of life."
Contradiction became readily apparent after the war, as the system was destroyed and a new system to help blacks and whites live together was not provided by the victors. For example, Genovese cites the basic fairness of the judicial system toward blacks when it came to rape and murder trials in the pre-war years. Of course the overall system was still incredibly racist on other points, but the hysteria that characterized the post-war judicial system was absent. Southerners saw "no contradiction between their code of honor, with its appeal to extralegal force, and a respect for the law itself."
Genovese's biggest questions is much bigger than simply the lack of revolts. It encompasses reproduction: "The South had the only slave system in the New World in which the slaves reproduced themselves." It encompasses slaves defending their "white families" from Northern troops. It encompasses the low rates of suicide among slaves, compared to other slave societies and to whites in the US. These are facts which make the overall picture much less black and white that it is portrayed in the more popular historical propaganda.
Bush's legacyDecember 21, 2008
Here's George Will on the expansion of Executive power under Bush and the increasing irrelevance of the Legislature. This Wikipedia page has a table which compiles various rankings of Presidents. Top Presidents fall into two categories: 1) early Presidents who were also Founders; and 2) Presidents that greatly expanded Executive authority. For this reason, even though I think Bush was a terrible President, I think he will eventually be "re-analyzed" by historians and they will find a lot to like.
A potential problem I see with my suggestion is that Bush will have no defenders. At this point, no self-respecting Conservative or Libertarian would even begin to defend his Presidency. He's going to need some defenders, if his legacy is ever to improve.

Hat to trade rumors, I could have read the article a hundred times and always skipped the last half. Wade wants another veteran catcher and we're negotiating with Lo Duca. This is an interesting signing to me because Lo Duca has a fairly adept ability to get on base. This all very preliminary because it's just negotiating, but this would probably be a plus move for us. That is, of course, if you forget about the whole My Space fiasco.
"Davidoff of Newsday engages in what reads as just pure speculation. He rationalizes the potential signing in the context of Houston's cheapness this winter with, "The Astros could stretch their payroll to make room for the Houston resident Pettitte." This seems unlikely, but would be welcomed.
There about $4 million in incentives which could be vested for for performance marks. The press release also has this gem: "Adding Johnson to the Giants rotation now gives the club three Cy Young Award winners, including last season's winner Tim Lincecum and 2002 AL winner Barry Zito. The last team to have three Cy Young winners on the same roster was the 2002 Atlanta Braves with Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz." Some how, I don't think counting Zito and Johnson as still being Cy-Young caliber counts. Either way, the Astros missed out on yet another solid innings eater that would have provided a ton value for relatively cheap...**sigh**
The deal is reportedly valued at $550,000. Here's a link to Hensley's career stats, he sports a career ERA of 4.04 and an ERA+ of 98. The parade of unexciting signings marches on...
The link is to MLBTradeRumors which has the whole history of the revelation that Baldelli's diagnosis last season was wrong. Apparently his condition is highly treatable, which I guess means less of an impact on his game. Please let him be our next signing...please baseball gods...it's all I want for Christmas.
We have a 5th outfielder now, hur-rah...?
Another run down of some potential gems.

Canada's Charles Hamelin took home the gold medal in Monday's 1500m men's short track final with an official time of 2:14.985. It was Hamelin's third gold medal, having won two at the Vancouver Games (500m, 5000m relay) in 2010.
Hamelin's also the favorite to win the 500m event as well. Blanketed in the Canadian flag following his win, Hamelin skated over to plant one on his girlfriend, speedskater Marianne St. Gelais.
J.R. Celski, America's best shot at a short track gold, finished in a disappointing fourth place with a time of 2:15.624. As is typical for Celski, a two-time bronze-medalist, he sat in the back, biding his time before making his move about halfway through the race. He briefly led with about eight laps remaining, but was overtaken by Hamelin, China's Tianyu Han (second), and Russia's Viktor Ahn (third).
Han finished at 2:15.055 while Ahn clocked in at 2:15.062.
Ahn's bronze represents Russia's first short track speedskating medal in history, placing the host country in fifth place overall with five medals (one gold). Hamelin's victory gives Canada its second gold medal and puts Canada atop the leaderboard.

Police in Charlotte are investigating a fatal shooting involving a 10-year-old child.
The incident was reported Wednesday morning at a home on the 4600 block of Connecting Road, according to police.
WBTV's Astrid Martinez spoke with the boy's aunt who said he was 10 years old and was a student at Providence Day School.
On Wednesday afternoon, school officials released a statement.
Editor's note: WBTV has redacted the name of the family since police have not released that information.
"We were extremely saddened to learn that one of our Providence Day families experienced a terrible loss in the death of their son while at home this morning," Dr. Glyn Cowlishaw, Head of School said.
"The entire school community is now in the process of grieving with the [redacted] family, as [redacted] was a valued and much-loved member of our school.
Officials say they are "engaged in a school-wide effort to comfort and support" the young boy's classmates, teachers, family and friends.
Investigators have not said what led to the shooting or if anyone else was injured.
