Tabor says USC will be on shortened list
DB Jalen Tabor of the District of Columbia has narrowed his list down to "eight to ten" schools and named USC as one of them. "I don't want to say the list because I'm scared I'll leave one or two off," Tabor admitted. "I can say that South Carolina is definitely one of my top eight."
Tabor said he feels comfortable with what the Gamecocks can offer saying, "I mean it's SEC football, you know? It's a competitive league and (USC) is a good school. It's somewhere I feel like I can go in and play and compete for a job."
Tabor has maintained contact with the USC coaching staff and says they want him to visit. He plans to visit several Southern schools including USC. Some of the other schools he mentioned he would like to visit include Alabama, Vanderbilt and Florida.
His offers include USC, Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Florida State, Vanderbilt, Michigan, North Carolina, NC State, Maryland and West Virginia among others. He does not have a favorite.

Kate Bosworth & Christina Hendricks Nov 2011 Harper's Bazaar
Kate Bosworth, Christina Hendricks, and Tom Cruise Celebrate Scorsese in Harper's Bazaar
The Fall is shaping up to be a celebratory season for director Martin Scorsese. In addition to earning his very first Emmy for Boardwalk Empire, his 3D children's film Hugo just debuted at the New York Film Festival to rave reviews. Martin's also the subject of a tribute article in Harper's Bazaar November issue, which is out on Oct. 25, featuring Martin recasting some of his most famous films — make sure to check out behind-the-scenes videos from the star-studded shoot. Kate Bosworth, wearing couture Givenchy, channeled Michelle Pfeiffer's character in The Age of Innocence, while Christina Hendricks and Jack Huston were given the task of re-creating Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz's chemistry in The Gangs of New York. Keanu Reeves and Chloe Moretz took on Taxi Driver, and Emily Blunt went blond for her Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore assignment. Tom Cruise even contributed to the article with a story about working with Martin. Recalling their time on The Color of Money with Scorsese set, Tom said, "When we started working together, Marty would just giggle. And it was wonderful because sometimes in the more violent scenes, like when I got pissed and was going down the stairs and throwing down the briefcase, you could just hear him giggle."

- Mario Draghi, Collateral Scarcity, And Why The ECB Will Soon Buy Corporate Bonds (ZeroHedge, April 16, 2015):
Mario Draghi, perhaps blinded by confetti, doesn't see a scarcity of collateral while HSBC thinks that's a bit "strange," and Morgan Stanley doesn't really see what the problem is even as their own analysis shows that it is now "impossible" for Germany to fully implement their portion of the program under the capital key. Meanwhile, FT thinks it's possibly important that thanks to the absurd consequences of NIRP-dom, the ECB may soon take the plunge into euro corporate credit sending yields on corporate bonds negative.

If you spend your time finding two-or-three-year-old questions to close, perhaps it's a sign that you need a real hobby. (One would think, if you post here, that gaming would be enough of a hobby.)
I mostly play old stuff. The last few weeks, I've been obsessed with Roller Coaster Tycoon. How did I miss this game back in the day!? I bought it and RCT2 from Good Old Games. I haven't even run RCT2 yet, because I'm having too much fun with the original.
I used to be a big Blizzard fan, but they jumped the shark with the StarCraft II EULA. Diablo III will not be getting my money:
- A company doesn't have a right to tell me I can't play their game offline without logging into their server first.
- A company doesn't have a right to require that each member of a household buy the game over again in order to play the "full" game.
Back in the days of spawning, with WarCraft II, Diablo, and StarCraft, Blizzard was a great company. Greed has ruined them.

Must Watch
Sacrebleu! The NSA isn't the only security agency to collect data. In fact, France's PRISM-like program is going very strong with thousands of trillions of metadata elements stored in a Parisian basement, according to a report from French newspaper Le Monde. The program targets phone communications, emails and data from Internet giants, such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Yahoo! It is deemed illegal by the CNIL, the French data protection authority but it is not as clear as it seems. Nasdaq argued in federal court that it cannot be sued by class-action because of its legal status as a self-regulatory organization. Nasdaq is being sued over the botched Facebook IPO. Silly in nature, stickers could help Facebook's messaging products appeal to younger users gravitating toward other apps. In an effort to boost messaging, the social networking site announced that members can now send stickers to each other in private messages from the Web.

Chat:PON DE CORNER with Winston Jarette , Keith Poppin, Fay Bennett
remembering famous music hang out in Jamaica
Live Chat : PON DE CORNER remembering famous music hang out in Jamaica chatting with Fay Bennett Specialist in 'Rude Reggae'. Daughter of Reggae saxman Val Bennett.Punnany.Keith has been hard at work in the studio over the past few months, cleaning up a few rare archive gems from the vaults, as well as finishing up the final vocal mixes on some brand new tracks. Look for a new release in the spring of 2015, with over 20 new songs, as well as extensive liner notes and pictures. Osceola Recording Studios in Raleigh, where Keith has done some of this work, has hosted sessions with Gnarls Barkley, 9th Wonder, Velvet Revolver, Blues Traveler and many more.
ROOTS artiste Keith Poppin earned a reputation in the early 1970s as having one of the smoothest voices in reggae. In 1973, Poppin (born Keith Smith) released his first solo single called Same Thing for Breakfast, which became his signature piece.Previously, he was a member of the Rocking Horse band.The song earned him recognition by topping the Jamaican chart as well as ethnic charts in Britain. One year later, he scored another hit with Envious.Throughout the 1970s, Poppin maintained a steady flow of quality songs including Someday Girl, Why Make Believe, Whenever There is Moonlight, and Who are You, which made the British national chart in 1976.In 1980, Poppin became the first act signed to reggae star Peter Tosh's Intel-Diplo record label but after Tosh's death in 1987, he took a break from recording, though he appeared twice in the Popular Song Contest.During the early 1990s, Poppin moved into producing other acts and promoting stage shows with his company Jungle Lion. He currently resides in the United States and recently released his latest album Journeys.
Activating Compassion Radio - The Pleiadean Glyphs with Judith Diana Winston
in Spirituality
Jesse interviews Judith Diana Winston – a visionary photo-artist, writer, life mentor. She has worked in the film industry as an actress, script supervisor, and as a fashion photographer. Diana authored "Meditative Magic – The Pleiadean Glyphs", and also "The Keeper of the Diary". She combines her spiritual quest with her abilities as an artist and communicator; focused on understanding mankind's origin and destiny; which led to almost ten years visiting, photographing and learning about many of the earth's ancient megalithic sacred sites. Diana's travels also drew her to research archeological texts, mythology, and channeled material related to these places. She considers herself a Mystic and believes that the entire planet is going through a dimensional shift; with a purpose to change and elevate consciousness and to work toward healing. Diana points out that as we vibrate at a higher frequency it forces us to face our deepest fears as well as offering opportunities to realize personal and collective dreams. We look at her work with "The Pleiadean Glyphs". You can learn more about Diana's work at: www.thekeeperofthediarybook.com

Intercepting Jameis Winston
in Sports
Mind of Mansion Podcast Episode 117: Matt Kelley @fantasy_mansion believes Marcus Mariota is more similar to Dennis Dixon than Russell Wilson.
Marcus Mariota's archetype is the Cam Newton/RG3/Kaepernick/Dennis Dixon/Johnny Manziel: running quarterbacks who predominantly ran spread or package concepts.
Mariota is tantalizing, but he's a highly nebulus prospect, a known unknown.
Ultimate Marcus Mariota frankencomp: head/brain and personality of Russell Wilson, arm of Alex Smith, the body of Dennis Dixon, and the legs of Colin Kaepernick.
Jameis Winston's 18 interceptions in 2014 represents the singular stat that confirms all preconceived notions and negative bias about Jameis Winston.
What does a JaMarcus Russell comp actually mean?
Jay Cutler's 68.3 QBR compared to Jameis Winston's 89.4 QBR is the difference between collegiate mediocrity and collegiate excellence.
Jamies Winston's propensity to throw it to linebackers in the flat is inexplicable and real problem.
College interception totals do not necessarily translate into NFL interceptions.
According to Benjamin Allbright's proprietary Upside Meter, Jameis Winston has the least room to grow of any quarterback in this draft class.
Jameis Winston's 18 interceptions during his sophomore season do not encapsulate his ability, but they do remove Peyton Manning from his prospective range of outcomes.

Truman Show: starring Tevin Coleman and Jameis Winston

Detangling the no-lose-infallibility of the Skip Bayless rhetorical formula.
The inherent randomness of the interception explains how Michael Vick can never exceed six college interceptions while Drew Brees throws 20.
Humbling the swaggering Jameis Winston with bad fantasy analysis.
Click monsters claim Jameis Winston has Jeff George's arm, JaMarcus Russell's work ethic, and Jay Cutler's decision making.
Statistical trickery always requires a good preface. Winston could be an amazingly prolific fantasy quarterback, but....
Feeling punked with every article trashing Tevin Coleman and Jameis Winston.
Draft Jameis Winston, because a great QB1 shortage is coming.
Jameis Winston probably won't be as good as Teddy Bridgewater, even if he is the next Dan Marino.

Is this escape or running away?
A good friend asked me recently if I was escaping or running away - that had me thinking. Why would I leave my wonderful circle of family and friends, my social scene and photography courses, a perfectly brilliant business like Express Imaging, with its fabulous team of workmates, my lovely house and car, the beautiful Roath Park and City of Cardiff to pack one bag and fly to the other side ...
Easter Extravaganza
... we went to Bristol, which I would say Bristol is to England, what Austin is to Texas. And by that, Bristol exudes that super artsy, up and coming, hippy vibe. It is most famous for Bansky, which is a street artist that I am fascinated by. I mentioned him earlier when I went to London but he was believed to have been born in Bristol and has a lot of famous works there. So we walked around town looking at all the Banksy's and shopped. More dreams came true that ...
... at Sally Lunn's, in the oldest building in Bath. Afterwards we continued wandering around Bath. The sun was back out, so everyone else was too. The deck chairs in the park also made an appearance. Ended on a high note at Jamie's Italian. Said good bye to Rebecca (for 3 weeks at least), then home. We have an early start ...
Walking in the West
... tour & imagining how it would have been in Roman times. I still find it astounding to be in a place, walk on the stones & touch the walls filled with so much history. Once again I'm struck by the brilliance of the Romans & wonder how their empire could have failed - they were so very, very clever! Had a look at the Circus & The Royal Crescent thinking of life here in Jane Austen's time. Were picked up ...
Getting Ready
... mail depot this side of Siberia to find the last parcel after I missed the delivery on Friday. Fran thought it was a birthday present and if I thought she wanted a Neo-fit sleeping pad, she definitely could have had it. Fit Bro emailed a pic of his 'last supper' (see enclosed).

Sound Off
Sound Off: What are the sleeves that some of the Kansas University basketball players wear? What is their purpose?
Those are body armor sleeves that contain a pad that protects the elbow from injury. The pad is stitched into the sleeve. The compression aspect of the sleeve keeps the sleeve from slipping.

this has to be one of the dumbest things i've seen in a long time..it's an elbow pad plus a little bit of style

My girlfriend who is a competitive athlete (not basketball) asked me this question not very long ago... not a dumb question at all.
asixbury 3 years, 2 months ago
I don't necessarily think this was a dumb question. I don't watch basketball (could really care less about most sports, except Ultimate Fighting), so I didn't know what it was for. I didn't care to know, though.
blindrabbit 3 years, 2 months ago
OK, understand the purpose of the sleeves! Another one, what is the purpose of the "rubber band" like devices worn by football players on arms (biceps)?
Vinny1 3 years, 2 months ago
As with most of the sleeves, or the leggings Tyshawn wears, or most anything else....its all about looks. You look good, you feel good, you play good. Thats the idea behind it anyway.
Jan Rolls 3 years, 2 months ago
And the coach gets the money and the players get nothing just like with the shoes, etc.
gsxr600 3 years, 2 months ago
Better question would be, why doesn't T-Rob tear the tags off of his shooting sleeves? He takes time at every free-throw shot to readjust.
Hal Larsen 3 years, 2 months ago
It also prevents sweat from rolling down their shooting arm to their hand keeping it dryer.
Chris Phillips 3 years, 2 months ago
I've wondered about the sleeve for basketball players and the "rubber band" for football players for some time myself. I could only see the sleeve keeping the arm warm and loose for shooting, but didn't see that helping a whole lot for someone running up and down the court sweating like crazy. Having the pad makes sense. Now, about the "rubber band"...?
lawrence96 3 years, 2 months ago
It was my understanding that they were also used to cover up offensive tatoos? I know thats why some pro players are forced to wear them.
lawrence96 3 years, 2 months ago
Since 2000, an increasing number of basketball players have started wearing arm sleeves, although questions exist regarding their purpose. Sleeves have become a highest selling NBA non-apparel item, as young players attempt to mimic their professional heroes. Although college basketball has outlawed arm sleeves for non-medical purposes, professional players can wear them for any reason, as long as they do not feature a corporate logo. Allen Iverson started wearing an arm sleeve in 2000, after having surgery on his elbow. Arm sleeves are similar to a compression bandage, which can protect the arm from additional injuries and help it to heal faster. Iverson continued to wear his sleeve long after his elbow had healed and other NBA players, such as Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, soon followed suit. Some believe that players wear sleeves to cover up gang-related tattoos, as the NBA has banned players from having offensive tattoos visible. This rumor started because of Allen Iverson's alleged connection with the Crips gang and the continued presence of his arm sleeve once his arm injury had healed. The use of sleeves could also have a placebo effect, as players might feel as though their injuries worsen whenever they do not wear a sleeve, even though it does not have an actual medical effect.
Scott Morgan 3 years, 2 months ago
Anybody who has suffered from an old school strawberry well understands any attempt to keep from getting one. Go new school kiddos, wear um with pride.
Covering old tattoos, yep I guess, but even in the old days you would see us wearing tape or even an old long sleeve T-shirt taped. My memory.......... 1970s a hoops or football player would do anything to avoid a large abrasion near the elbow or knees.
The smallest of small floor burn could and would end up being this huge hunk of scab called a strawberry. Genesis........small sliding injury...........practice gets broke open again......game.....ditto.......game........ditto........practice.....ditto.......the small thing now is a horrid thick thing which when broken again bleeds like crazy. Hurts too.
Had one which lasted 4 months after the last game once.

Producers Postpone 'The Kite Runner' over Rape-Scene Fuss
The producers of new movie The Kite Runner have decided to postpone the release of the film so they have time to get the film's young stars out of their native Afghanistan–and avoid local ethnic tensions.
The three young actors in the adaptation of the 2003 bestseller are involved in a harrowing rape scene in the film and the boys' families feared they'd be targeted once news of the controversy spread through their local community.
So producers at Paramount Vantage have agreed to postpone the film's U.S. release for six weeks–and relocate the young stars and their families in the United Arab Emirates until the growing fuss over the film ends.
Director Marc Forster accepts the decision by his producers, telling Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Everybody's primary concern is the safety and welfare of those kids."
The film will now be released on Dec. 14. The three boys are expected to attend the movie's U.S. premiere.

"Bounce" begins with flights delayed at O'Hare. One guy gives another guy his boarding pass, the plane crashes, the other guy dies. The survivor is Buddy (Ben Affleck), an alcoholic ad executive from Los Angeles, whose boozing now spirals out of control, until he joins Alcoholics Anonymous and finds that one of the 12 steps involves making amends to those he harmed with his drinking. So he pays a call on Abby (Gwyneth Paltrow), the widow of the man who died in the crash.
Strictly speaking, Buddy has no amends to make. He was doing the other guy a favor. It wasn't his fault that the flight crashed. But he tracks down Abby, discovers she's a real-estate agent, and arranges for her to get a commission on a building his agency was going to buy anyway. Then she asks him to a Dodgers game, and before you know it, they're in love and he's bonding with her kids.
The problem, of course, is that he hasn't told her he's responsible in some cosmic, fateful way for her husband's death. He means to, but he puts it off. Lovers with untold secrets are a familiar movie situation, seen earlier this year in "Return to Me," when Minnie Driver can't tell David Duchovny his late wife's heart was transplanted into her chest.
"Bounce" builds toward a big revelation scene, of course, and when it comes, it has to be perfectly aimed and well-acted because both actors are on thin ice. The moment of truth in "Bounce" is not quite right. The revelation is delayed a few scenes beyond its natural place in the film, and we grow restless; we enjoy the suspense only up to a point. Buddy moistens his lips, clears his throat and coughs nervously and still doesn't tell Abby, and it begins to feel like the movie's playing with us.
There have been hints that the secret may not be revealed verbally. A videotape was made at the airport, and because all props are brought onstage for a reason, we know sooner or later that tape, showing Buddy with the dead guy, will be seen again. Thinking ahead, I began to wonder how director Don Roos would use the tape. I guessed that maybe before Abby had a chance to look at the tape, the two would share a moment of tenderness and then one of the kids would pop the tape into the VCR and the truth would start playing, unnoticed at first, in the background. Stage this correctly and you might have one of those scenes an audience remembers for a long time.
Incredibly, Roos keeps Abby offstage for the moment of revelation. We don't see her when she learns the truth, and she's not there when he sees the tape. What a missed opportunity. "Bounce" has a strong set-up, good acting, intelligent dialogue and attractive characters, but it loses its way in technique. In movies with this story structure, all depends on the precise timing of the delay and the revelation, and "Bounce" misses. Not by a lot, but by enough.
I liked the movie, anyway. I liked it because of the convincing way the relationship got started. And because Buddy's gay secretary (Johnny Galecki) isn't afraid to talk back to him--about alcoholism and Abby. And because of the way Buddy got closer to the kids. And because Paltrow dials down her beauty and becomes a convincing widow. And because I wanted them to become lovers, which means they sold me on themselves.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Racial Differences in Educational Funding for Doctoral Recipients
January 17, 2014- jbhe.com
New data from the National Science Foundation shows significant racial differences in how students support their doctoral education. According to data on students who earned doctoral degrees in 2012, nearly 40 percent of African American doctoral recipients funded their education through their own resources. Only 21.3 percent of Whites funded their doctoral education primarily through their own resources.
In turn, only 10.9 percent of African American doctoral degree recipients funded their education through teaching assistantships. For Whites, nearly 21 percent had teaching assistantships which were the primary source of their educational funding. Another 24 percent of White doctoral recipients funded their education through research assistantships compared to 13 percent of African American doctoral recipients.Race and ethnicity
Participation in doctoral education by underrepresented minority U.S. citizens and permanent residents is increasing, as evidenced by an 87% increase in the number of doctorates awarded to blacks or African Americans over the past 20 years and a more than doubling of Hispanic or Latino doctorate recipients. Owing to these growth rates, the proportion of doctorates awarded to blacks or African Americans has risen from 4.0% in 1992 to 6.3% in 2012, and the proportion awarded to Hispanics or Latinos has risen from 3.3% in 1992 to 6.5% in 2012. The number of American Indian or Alaska Native doctorate recipients fell to its lowest point of the past 20 years.
African American Teenager Is the Youngest Qualified Barrister in British History
January 24, 2014- jbhe.com
Gabrielle Turnquest of Windemere, Florida, recently passed the Bar Professional Training Course to become a qualified barrister in England and Wales. At the age of 18, she is the youngest person to have reached this milestone in the 600-year history of the training regimen. The average age of people who successfully complete barrister training is 27.
Two years ago, Turnquest, whose parents are from The Bahamas, was the youngest person to earn a degree at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. She majored in psychology. A year later she completed law school at the University of Law, which operates campuses in London and five other cities.
Turnquest hopes to begin a career as a fashion law specialist in the United States. She has enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, California, where she is studying apparel industry management.

Last year was supposed to be a year of action to curb gun violence in our schools. But three weeks into the new year, statistics suggest that the problem could actually be worsening.
Though the sample size is far too small to draw any definitive conclusions, 2014 is off to a deadly start: in the first 14 school days of the year, there have been at least 7 school shootings. For sake of comparison, there were 28 school shootings in all of 2013, according to gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action.

Tuesday morning's shooting at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, NM marked the 30th school shooting in the U.S. since a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School 13 months ago. Moms Demand Action, a non-partisan group of American moms who are asking legislators, companies and educational institutions to establish common-sense gun reforms, just released this list of the 30 school shootings that have occurred since Sandy Hook:
----------------------------------------------------Suspect Charged With Murder In SC Campus Shooting
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — A suspect was arrested early Saturday in the fatal shooting of a student outside a dormitory at South Carolina State University, law enforcement officials said.
Justin Bernard Singleton, 19, of Charleston, was charged with murder in the death of 20-year-old Brandon Robinson (pictured above), the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said in a news release.
Singleton was taken into custody in Orangeburg, where the campus is located, and was being held at the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center.
Robinson died Friday afternoon after he was shot outside Hugine Suites.
Authorities initially said they were looking for four men who had left campus. Thom Berry, a public information officer for the law enforcement division, declined to say early Saturday whether there was still an active manhunt.
"Our investigation is continuing," Berry said in an email to The Associated Press.
The gunmen left campus before police could catch them, but authorities decided to lock down the campus so they could not return, said University Police Chief Mernard Clarkson said Friday. The lockdown was lifted Friday evening.
Clarkson said police haven't figured out what led to the shooting.
The shooting shocked the entire campus, university President Thomas Elzey said. Grief counselors were being brought in to talk to students and staff.
"We, again, are extraordinarily sad about this. He was a very nice young man. And it hurts. It hurts us all," Elzey said.
Elzey said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley offered any help the school needed.
South Carolina State also was the site of a fatal shooting in 2011, when police said three men met on campus for a drug deal. A student, 22-year-old Jonathan Bailey, was killed.
Friday's fatal shooting happened three days after authorities said a Purdue University student shot and stabbed a fellow student to death in a classroom.
South Carolina State University is a historically black university with about 3,200 students in Orangeburg, about 40 miles south of Columbia.
Hundreds of students, staff gather at University Center to march, remember Martin Luther King Jr.
Snowy weather, icy sidewalks and below-freezing temperatures were no match for hundreds of people during Central Michigan University's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day March.
The march, which began in the Bovee University Center, circled campus and ended with a vigil downtown, aiming to bring awareness and action against racism in America.
Some CMU students believe the topic of race is a prevalent issue in society today.
"There's evidence of racism everywhere," said Marie Reimers, president of the Student Government Association. "That's proven just in asking a person of color if they can name a situation in which they've experienced racism. The answer is almost always 'yes.'"
Reimers referred to recent political and social acts to further explain the presence of racism in the U.S. today.
"The Supreme Court rolling back the Voting Rights Act, the fact that one of three black men will be incarcerated in their lifetime and voter ID laws are just a few examples," the Saginaw junior said. "We can see (racism) all over the place, and that's why it's so important on days like this to choose to reflect and start fighting (racism) again."
Southfield senior Danielle Cook said she sees events such as the march as a step in the right direction.
"In America, we aren't a post-racial society," Cook said. "There's still disproportionate inequalities between races, but I think we're getting there. I think we're on a path. It's just about people getting together every year, remembering people like Martin Luther King Jr. and what he stood for, and really trying to live that every day."
Cook, a member of Sigma Lambda Gamma, a historically Latina-based sorority, said racism can impact anybody and awareness is key.
"As a black woman at CMU and in 2014, I think it's really exciting for events like this to be widely publicized at a university," she said. "It's a testament to our character that so many people actually show up when they could just take a day off and not do anything."
To students who didn't take the time to acknowledge MLK Jr. Day, Reimers had one thing to say.
"I would ask you to re-examine history and re-examine your place in history," she said. "Especially to our white students, to know how significant this day is to our colleagues of color, and the role that it played in history. It's not just a day that we have off – it's a day that you need to take the time to reflect on where you are and what your goal of ending racism is."
For one CMU student, the march has a deeper meaning.
"Coming to events like this lets me know that other people appreciate this day. It's not just a 'black thing,'" said Sydni Lockhart, a Detroit senior. "It's something that we can all come together to embrace. Dr. King started the march, but we're continuing it every day."

Black Men as College Athletes: The Real Win-Loss Record
Michael Morgenstern for The Chronicle
By Shaun R. Harper
Frustrated by the endless grumbling about black men's failures, I have spent much of my career examining how black men get to college and what helps them succeed. We now have hard data, and many of the most effective strategies cost relatively little.
So I am particularly troubled that major collegiate athletics programs, known for generating significant revenue for their institutions, do not use proven methods to get their black male athletes through baccalaureate-degree programs and prepared for careers beyond professional sports. I am also amazed that these programs continually fail the men whose minds they have promised to develop along with their athletic prowess.
There's no question that athletics can be a pathway to education that transforms lives. But all too often, black male student-athletes leave college without degrees, and with little in the way of the training they need to succeed in life beyond sports. Recently I heard from a senior athletics administrator who was startled when one of his black former football players served him lunch at a fast-food restaurant. Why should that have surprised him? For what else was the young man prepared once his college sports career ended?
Only 50 percent of black male athletes graduate within six years from colleges in the seven major NCAA Division I sports conferences, compared with 67 percent of athletes over all, 73 percent of undergraduates, and 56 percent of black undergraduate men. And while black men are underrepresented in the undergraduate population at predominantly white colleges and universities, there is an enormous overrepresentation of them on those revenue-generating Division I sports teams. Their comparatively lower six-year graduation rates warrant a resounding response from college presidents, trustees, and athletics administrators.
In December the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education here at Penn released data detailing the low graduation rates of black male athletes on football teams participating in the 2014 Bowl Championship Series. Sixty percent of the players on the top 25 BCS football teams are black. These programs would seem to be a natural employment opportunity for black men after graduation. However, only 12 percent of coaches and athletic directors at the top 25 BCS colleges are black.
Of the BCS data, there is perhaps no better example than Florida State University, which defeated Auburn University in the BCS national championship game this month. By all common metrics, it was a successful year for Florida State's football team, highlighted by the selection of the quarterback, Jameis Winston, as the Heisman Trophy winner.
But will Winston and most of his other black teammates actually graduate from college? Chances are, no. Of all the teams that played in the bowl series, Florida State's has the lowest graduation rate. Sixty-five of the 94 students on the team—69 percent—are black. Based on an analysis of the past four cohorts of black male athletes at Florida State, only 24 of those 65 are predicted to graduate within six years. (For the record, Auburn doesn't do much better at graduating its black male athletes.) And although Winston will very likely go pro, most of his teammates will end their athletics careers when they leave the university.
And let me dispel the myth that droves of college athletes from powerhouse programs leave early to turn professional. That misconception is often used to explain low graduation rates among black male athletes. However, less than 2 percent of college athletes, regardless of race, are drafted into the NFL or the NBA. Only seven football players, five of them black, from Florida State were drafted in 2011 and 2012 combined, and not all of them left college early for the draft. Auburn has had five players drafted over the past two years, three of whom are white.
So what can we do? My hope is that with more light shining on the issue, some of these colleges will begin to pay real attention to the future of their black male athletes. With a more serious game plan, they can lead the way for all colleges and universities to score more wins in educating black men.
In the Penn center's December report, "Black Male Student-Athletes and Racial Inequities in NCAA Division I Revenue-Generating College Sports," Collin D. Williams Jr., Horatio W. Blackman, and I suggest several steps. I summarize a few of them here.
First, college presidents, trustees, and faculty members must demand transparency and data from athletics departments and offices of institutional research. Reports should include analyses of the racial composition of individual sports teams compared with the overall undergraduate population, as well as of disparities in graduation rates. Presidents must hold themselves, athletic directors, and coaches accountable for narrowing racial gaps documented in those reports.
Coaches and athletics administrators should pay attention to the course enrollment and selection of majors by their black male athletes, as well as those students' participation in enriching educational experiences, like study-abroad programs and summer internships. Colleges must examine and more fully support postgraduation pathways such as graduate school, employment in the student's major field of study, and recruitment into their own athletics departments.
Coaches and athletics administrators must also address the "dumb jock" stereotypes that plague black male student-athletes—that they are not there to learn, they have not met admissions standards, they are interested only in professional sports careers. Working with faculty members to raise their consciousness of such stereotypes and of racist assumptions they themselves may possess seems like a necessary first step.
Additionally, assigning faculty mentors or advocates from outside the athletics department for these student-athletes can be enormously helpful in increasing their academic engagement and their likelihood of graduating.
All athletics departments in major sports conferences should create task forces focused on racial equity that include professionals within and beyond the department: administrators from academic and student affairs, current and former black male student-athletes, and professors who study race and sports. Coaches and the athletics department should provide a detailed plan for improving the educational outcomes of their athletes. The goal is not only to get them through college but to provide the foundations of productive careers after they graduate.

Chapel Hill Researcher's Findings on Athletes' Literacy Bring a Backlash
By Robin Wilson
Mary C. Willingham, the North Carolina learning specialist who has sparked controversy with her data about the poor reading skills of college athletes, says her latest work illuminates issues that she has been concerned about her whole life.
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, she saw socioeconomic inequities play out right in front of her. Then, after working for years as a reading specialist in the athletics department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she says, she began to recognize those same disparities affecting players there.
Expecting all athletes to handle the high caliber of academic work required at Chapel Hill is about as realistic as expecting her to suit up for a Division I football game, says Ms. Willingham, an instructor in the university's College of Arts and Sciences. "It would be like dropping me off on the football field, giving me a jersey, and telling me to just figure it out."
Ms. Willingham, who is 52, has been talking about what she sees as the university's poor track record in educating some UNC players since 2010, when the largest academic-fraud scandal in the university's history broke open.
Now the whistle-blower, who filed a grievance against the university last year after it demoted her for those remarks, she says, is in the middle of a new firestorm. This time it is for data she released that show that about 10 percent of the university's football and basketball players whom she studied can't read.
After Mary C. Willingham, a learning specialist at the
U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, released data showing
that about 10 percent of the university's football and
basketball players whom she studied couldn't read, the
university suspended her work. Other scholars at Chapel
Hill say that response is likely to have a "chilling effect"
on any scholarly work that could make the university
look bad.
University administrators have harshly criticized her research methods and disagreed with her findings. They have also suspended her work, saying she ran afoul of federal rules requiring that the identities of subjects remain anonymous to researchers. To continue her research, officials have said, she must receive approval from the university's institutional review board.
CNN used Ms. Willingham's data in an extensive report this month about low levels of academic achievement among college athletes. Of the 183 athletes Ms. Willingham studied at Chapel Hill from 2004 to 2012 who were admitted under special academic standards, 60 percent read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels. An additional 8 percent to 10 percent were functionally illiterate, she found.
At a faculty meeting this month, James W. Dean Jr., the provost, called the research "a travesty," according to news reports. He said four university employees had spent 200 hours dissecting Ms. Willingham's data and found that she had gotten the numbers on athletes' reading levels all wrong.
In short, Ms. Willingham inappropriately used a simple vocabulary test to assess reading ability and then mistakenly conflated the scores on that test with specific reading grade levels, Mr. Dean said, according to his PowerPoint presentation at the faculty meeting. Those mistakes, he told professors, rendered her findings "nearly meaningless" and were "grossly unfair" to the reputation of the university's athletes.
Ms. Willingham says the university's critiques are unfounded. "I have been working as a reading specialist for 14 years," she says, "I would never make the mistakes they said I made." 'Chilling Effect'
Scholars at Chapel Hill say the way the university has responded to Ms. Willingham's research has implications beyond her work. By halting it because of concerns over the anonymity of her subjects, and at the same time criticizing her findings, the university appears to be using the IRB as a tool to thwart her inquiry, say some faculty members.
"This looks vindictive," says Frank R. Baumgartner, a distinguished professor of political science at Chapel Hill. "It puts the university in a defensive posture, where they could instead be taking the initiative and saying, Let's have a national conversation to find the right balance between athletics and academics."
Instead, says Mr. Baumgartner, the university's attack on Ms. Willingham's research has a "chilling effect" on any scholarly work that could make the university look bad.
Daniel K. Nelson, director of the university's office of human-research ethics, who oversees the institutional review boards, issued a statement saying he had not been pressured by university administrators into requesting that Ms. Willingham seek IRB approval.
He said it had simply become clear with the release of her research results that identifying details were in fact maintained in her data set. (Ms. Willingham has never publicly identified her research subjects.)
But Ms. Willingham says that nothing has changed since she sought approval from the review board before her research began, and that reviewboard officials told her she didn't need it. Since she screened her student subjects over time, she says, she has had to keep track of their identities—something she says the IRB knew all along. 'I'm Stubborn'
The groundwork for Ms. Willingham's activism on the education of athletes was laid when she was a teenager attending public high school in Chicago. "I have this educational and inequality alertness," she says. "My parents were active in the community to make sure white flight didn't happen" when the first black family moved in across the street.
She refined her opinions as a remedial-reading teacher at Chapel Hill High School in the early 2000s, where she saw students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds whom she believes got fewer opportunities than their wealthier counterparts did. "People who can afford it give their kids tutors, enrichment, and after-school SAT prep," she says. "I saw the gap between students."
The same kinds of disadvantages were evident, she says, for some of the athletes with whom she began working in 2003 as a learning specialist in the university's athletics department. She worked closely, she says, with most of the 183 students in her study and found that many of them were smart but lacked basic reading and writing skills.
"We could meet them where they are at academically and get them in shape so they could really get a college degree," she says. Instead, she says, the university simply passes them through by guiding them to the easiest majors and classes. "That's what's been happening their whole lives."
Those athletes, she says, don't want to go back to their communities after earning a University of North Carolina degree and power-wash houses, but for some that's exactly what happens.
With a husband whose income is high enough to support her family, Ms. Willingham says she is perhaps in a good position to challenge the system.
"I'm stubborn," she says. "I don't like it when people tell me I can't do something."
Gaining approval from the institutional review board to continue her work could be difficult, she acknowledges, because she must know the identity of her subjects to follow them over time.
But she won't back down, she says, despite the death threats she says she's received by email since the CNN report, and despite what she calls the "character smear" by the provost at this month's faculty meeting. Ms. Willingham is writing a book with Jay Smith, a historian at Chapel Hill, on the campus's academic-fraud scandal and what it means for the education of athletes.
Mr. Smith praises Ms. Willingham and her research, calling her "committed and compassionate in her dealings with students." He likens the university's critique of her work to a "search-and-destroy attempt to discredit her."
Ms. Willingham says her motivations are simple. "Someone," she says, "has to fix this mess."
16 Yr Old Darrin Manning was Possibly Castrated During a Philly Stop & Frisk Harrassment
forced to undergo emergency surgery after Philadelphia police officers ruptured his testicles
Darrin Manning, a 16-year-old Black straight-A student and star athlete in Philadelphia, was with his friends heading to a school basketball game when they were stopped by the police. The police encounter quickly turned violent: Darrin claims that an officer handled him so aggressively that his genitals were injured, forcing him to have emergency surgery and possibly leaving him infertile.1
Darrin's shocking mistreatment and assault by police is shameful, yet the Philadelphia District Attorney, R. Seth Williams, is continuing to press charges against Darrin in court.
This case is catalyzing the Philadelphia community to speak out against the aggressive targeting of Black folks by the police and sparking national media attention, shining a light on the long history of the brutality perpetrated against Black and brown communities by the Philadelphia Police Department.2 If we act quickly and speak out against this injustice, we can make sure the District Attorney feels the pressure to drop the unfair charges against Darrin.
Please join us in demanding Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams drop the charges against Darrin and investigate the officers involved. It only takes a moment.
Darrin and his friends were simply heading to a basketball game when the police decided that they were "suspicious" and tried to stop them, as they do to so many young Black and brown men. The group started running away, but Darrin says he stopped running and tried to comply with police orders because he hadn't done anything wrong. Then according to Darrin, an officer violently patted him down and "grabbed and squeezed and pulled my private parts and I felt something pop."3
Darrin's story points to the ways that constant, baseless street stops subject our communities to police harassment and violence, which can so often turn lethal. Despite a court order to reduce it, Philadelphia continues to use Stop and Frisk at a very high rate,4 meaning countless other young men like Darrin face these invasive stops as part of their daily lives.
Darrin was the victim here, but he continues to face three misdemeanor charges.5 National outrage over Darrin's mistreatment is growing, so if we act quickly we can make sure the outrageous charges are dropped and that the officers responsible for this cruel act of violence are held accountable.
Please demand that the District Attorney drop the charges against Darrin and hold the officers involved accountable. And when you do, please ask your friends and family to do the same.
Thanks and Peace,

4-Year-Old Brooklyn Boy Leaves School Undetected, Walks Home Alone
By NewsOne Staff- news one.com
Jan 25, 2014- Symeir Talley-Jasper, 4, walked out of the doors of his Brooklyn school and walked all the way home without one teacher or school employee noticing that he was gone, reports NBC New York.
Jasper, who attends PS 59 in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy), went to the bathroom Friday afternoon at school. When he returned, his classroom was empty.
Not knowing that his classmates were in the school's auditorium, and not knowing what else to do, Jasper walked the block to his home with no coat in the freezing NYC weather.
The temperature was 12 degrees, with a wind chill of zero.
"I'm upset because anything could have happened," said Symeir's infuriated mother Quantasia Jasper. "There's so many different possibilities. There's all these shootings going on, robberies going on. Anyone could have ran into the school while he was running out of the school. Anything could have happened."
Read more from NBC New York:
Community advocates called for the employees responsible for the child to be terminated, and asked the school make procedural changes, like taking head counts of students when they are moved to different rooms.
The school's principal, Dawn Best, sent a letter home to parents Friday stating that "additional steps have been taken to ensure the safety and welfare of the students in our school."
Jasper's story is particularly terrifying in the wake of the tragic death of Avonte Oquendo.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Oquendo, 14, was last seen walking out of his Long Island City school on October 4th.
The entire city of New York mobilized to search for the teen, who was autistic and unable to speak.
Last week, DNA tests confirmed that human remains found in the East River in Queens were, in fact, Avonte Oquendo.
"Something has to be done to ensure the safety of our children," said community activist Tony Herbert to CBS New York. "This could have had a much more devastating outcome. There are a lot of scenarios that could have played out here and we are only glad that we are not planning a funeral or have another family suffering through a massive missing person search to find their child because of someone's incompetence in not doing their job.
"This kid found his way home, thank God, Avonte Oquendo did not find his way home," Herbert said.

Southland sheepmeat processor and exporter Alliance Group has reported a $50.8 million net loss for the year ending September 30 - its first operating loss in 20 years.
As a result, its farmer suppliers will not receive any distribution payments this year.
The decision to cease sheepmeat operations at the Mataura plant, which set the company back $13.5m in restructuring costs, contributed to the loss.
Alliance Group chairman Owen Poole said the loss reflected a substantial change in New Zealand's sheepmeat export markets because of the widespread economic crisis and a strong New Zealand dollar.
"We accept that many exporters and processors like ourselves did not respond to the changing economic environment fast enough and, in an intensely competitive industry, continued to pay too much for livestock for too long," he said.
Despite the loss, the company had made several investments to help with costs, including a $15m upgrade of the beef processing at Mataura, he said.
The company anticipated a much better financial result next year, Mr Poole said.
Federated Farmers Southland meat and fibre spokesman and Alliance supplier Andrew Morrison said he did not expect to see such a significant loss.
Farmers were likely to criticise the company for poor performance but at the end of the day the money ended up in the farmers' pockets because they were paid more for their livestock, he said.
It would be interesting to see if Southland meat companies would work closer together, as suggested in the red meat sector strategy, he said.
The strategy addressed aligned procurement and market co-ordination. "It'll be good to see if they've got the appetite to address either of those issues," he said.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand economic service executive director Rob Davison said Southland processors were forecast to pay about $20 less per head of prime lamb next season.
Blue Sky Meats also reported a net loss after tax, of $449,000, for the year ending March 31.
