Canadian Content MLS Rounds 14 & 15 – How did the Canadians in MLS do this week?
Jul 07 2015 07:02 PM | James Grossi in 24th Minute
After a month long hiatus, the review is back – apologies for that, the Women's World Cup and several other commitments prevented the usual routine – and will be catching up on the previous five rounds of action over the coming weeks.
First up, is a combined review for Rounds Fourteen and Fifteen – the latter was a truncated fixture list - featuring a whopping sixteen players, who combined for fifteen starts and nine substitute appearances; a further four were available, but went unused on the bench.
The top three spots go to the goal-scorers: Cyle Larin, Maxim Tissot, and Wandrille Lefevre, with a special mention for Will Johnson, who continued to work his way back to the pitch full-time after his long injury layoff.
Find out what they did to deserve recognition and who else earned their keep this round.

Episode 118 - The AFTN Podcast - "There's Still Time" (A Women's World Cup Final postgame extravaganza featuring Carli Lloyd, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, Julie Johnston, Abby Wambach and her mother!)
Jul 07 2015 10:01 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
It's been a fun month, but all good things must come to an end and that is sadly true of the 2015 Women's World Cup.
The tournament came to an end in Vancouver on Sunday as the US steamrollered Japan, and the defending champions didn't know what had hit them in those opening 16 minutes.
It ended with the US lifting their third Women's World Cup trophy and the celebrations began at BC Place and continued the following day at the special Fox Sports studios in Vancouver. And AFTN was there to capture some of the post tournament joy for you.
In our penultimate WWC special podcast, we're all about the World Cup winners this episode as we chat with some of the key members of the US Women's National Team.
We kick things off with the Final's hat-trick heroine Carli Lloyd as she talks about it all sinking in, waking up to be front page news and going back to club football after all that.
We also catch up with a couple of the USWNT old guard, strikers Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach about the win, the legacy and the team. We also hear from victorious mother Judy Wambach about like watching your famous daughter play.
It's a case of out with the old and in with the new as we catch up with one of the US squad's players of the future, defender Julie Johnston. How did she feel her own personal tournament was, how inspiring were the 1999 winning team and did her conceding a penalty in the semi-final actually kickstart the team on to a win?!
And there's still time to end the episode with an American hero but a Canadian villain, BC born striker Sydney Leroux. An emotional Leroux talks about winning a World Cup in her home country, is winning a vindication for her decision to leave and the abuse she received, and what lies in store for her.

Canadian league update -- oh, and Floro talks Gold Cup, sort of
Jul 07 2015 02:08 AM | Duane Rollins in 24th Minute
Benito Floro was supposed to be talking about the Gold Cup.
And, he did. The Canadian coach hit all the right points in his 30 min pre-tournament address to reporters tonight – he is confident in his team, believes they can make the semis, isn't insane (i.e. acknowledges that winning it is unlikely. Except, you know, sports), thinks getting to next year's Copa América Centenario is important and, etc., etc., etc.
But, what he really wanted to talk about was a Canadian league. On three separate occasions he brought a question about something else into a speech about how Canada needs its own league.

WFC2 v Seattle Sounders 2 - The (Second Coming) Story In Pictures
Jul 06 2015 11:57 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
S2 made their second trip of the season to Thunderbird Stadium on a sweltering Saturday afternoon, for the third of (at least) four meetings between the Cascadian rivals in USL action this year.
Having suffered a 4-0 thumping down at Starfire to kick off their inaugural USL campaign back in March, WFC2 bounced back with a 1-1 home draw in April, and the continued improvement was complete this past weekend when the 'Caps ran out 3-1 winners in front of 1,409 fans.
It was US Independence Day, which was apt as the Whitecaps served up some late fireworks to come away with the win.

Toronto FC vs. DC United Match Preview - Table-Toppers
Jun 27 2015 02:40 PM | Michael Crampton in 24th Minute
One of the biggest games in Canadian soccer history, maybe the biggest to take place in Canada, will happen this Saturday. Elsewhere, TFC will be playing.
Record audiences have tuned to the Women's World Cup and Canada's run to the quarterfinals has given a national focus on the Canadian version of the world's sport over the past three weeks. For long-time fans and promoters of the game it has been wonderful to see.
Incredibly, for fans who also happen to follow the-worst-team-in-the-world it has coincided with a run rarely seen in Toronto FC history. The Reds have won four of their last five matches, largely deserved it, and looked as good as they ever have in their last outing against Montreal. For a team that has had entire seasons where they only won five or six league games it's the sort of success that often seemed far enough from imagination to be impossible.

England's Jodie Taylor focused on making more history against Canada - "The pressure's been on them the whole time and it's only going to get more for them"
Jun 27 2015 12:47 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
The scene is set and the countdown is well underway for Canada's quarter-final clash with England at BC Place on Saturday afternoon in the 2015 Women's World Cup.
Both countries are still looking to make history in this year's tournament, with Canada looking to advance to the semi-finals for only the second time in their history and improve on their fourth placed finish in 2003.
England have already equalled the furthest they've ever gone before in the competition, having been quarter-finalists on three previous occasions in 1995, 2007 and 2011.
If the tension is mounting amongst the fans, it's certainly not affecting the English players, who are in a calm and confident mood. So what's the feeling like in the England camp as kick off approaches?
"Pretty awesome actually," England striker Jodie Taylor told AFTN when we chatted with her on Friday morning. "Everyone's excited and focused on the game. We just can't wait for it to come now. There's a real good confidence across the squad. We all 100% believe that we can beat Canada."

Residency Week 2015: Catching up with.... Nolan Wirth
Jun 26 2015 02:59 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
Vancouver Whitecaps have produced a plethora of young talent through their Residency program in recent years, with a league-leading eight homegrown players currently on their MLS roster.
Add to that number the many others playing for WFC2, overseas or at college in the US and it's an impressive production line of talent.
The most headline grabbing talent may have come from the midfield and forward positions, but when it comes to strength in depth and numbers, that lies with the goalkeepers.
The amount of quality keepers to have come through the Whitecaps Residency in the past couple of years is phenomenal. From Marco Carducci on the MLS squad to Callum Irving and Sean Melvin in the college ranks, it's felt like every season one or two more top goalkeepers can be added to the list.
And it's no different this season, with William Diaz in the U18s and Canadian youth internationals Aidan Aylward and Luciano Trasolini in the U16's.
It's certainly a testament to the Whitecaps scouting network, development and hard work from goalkeeping coach Raegyn Hall over the years.
Another member of the Residency goalkeeping alumni is Nolan Wirth.

Residency Week 2015: Whitecaps U16 coach Adam Day building on strong foundations with "excellent group"
Jun 24 2015 07:00 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
The number of UEFA Pro and A licensed coaches throughout the Vancouver Whitecaps system is impressive and has to be amongst the very highest in North American football.
Residency Under-16 coach Adam Day is just the latest one within the club.
Day has only been in the role since the middle of April, replacing Rich Fagan who moved up to be the U18's head coach in January when Steve Meadley departed to become Alan Koch's assistant with the USL side.

Dutch starlet Vivianne Miedema hoping to shock the World Champions and be an inspiration to young girls back home
Jun 23 2015 05:43 PM | Michael McColl in AFTN
There's already been a number of key and interesting stories to come out of this Women's World Cup and thankfully they haven't involved the turf pitches or FIFA shenanigans.
The shortening gap between the top nations and the mid-ranked teams is definitely one of them. The gulf in quality between the top five sides in the world and teams from Africa, South America and the up and coming European countries has definitely been reduced, and leading the way in a many of these nations is the rising talent of a number of talented young prospects.
Much was made of Canada's very own wunderkid, Jesse Fleming, before the tournament began. It was a lot of pressure to put on young shoulders but when we spoke to her before the tournament began, she was coping with it in her stride.
Fleming hasn't had too much chance to shine on the top world stage just yet, but she has been joined in the tournament by a number of top teenage stars from across the globe.
Two of them will take the pitch at BC Place tonight for the Netherlands, as the Dutch set out to shock the reigning World Cup holders from Japan.
The Netherlands have two 18-year-olds in their ranks - midfielder Jill Roord and striker Vivianne Miedema.
Roord has yet to feature for the Dutch in the tournament but Miedema has started all three of the Netherland's group games and has played all bar nine minutes so far.

Residency Week 2015: Whitecaps U18s and U16s get set for USSDA Playoffs - "We're one of the best, if not THE best, in North America and it's down to us to prove it"
Jun 23 2015 08:24 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
The United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) playoffs are with us once more. So you know what that means, it's time for AFTN's annual Residency Week!
Both Vancouver Whitecaps' U16s and U18s have qualified for the group stages once again and flew down to the Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, Indiana at the weekend with high hopes and expectations of advancing to the last eight and the quarter-finals.
We'll be bringing you our usual mix of interviews, "Ones To Watch" breakdowns and a full playoff round-up over the course of Residency Week, but we'll kick things off with a quick recap of the Whitecaps Residency's season so far and a look ahead to the teams facing them in Indiana this week.
The playoffs will take the same format as last year with 32 teams in each age group split into eight round robin groups of four. Only the winners will advance to the quarter-final stage, which will once again be played as four one-off matches, with the winners of those heading to LA for the Final Four weekend.
And the good news for the Whitecaps teams is that if they advance again to that quarter-final stage, that game will be held in Vancouver and not in Bellingham as they were forced to do before. It's up to the opposition to make sure they have passports, so some advancements there at least.

WFC2's inaugural USL season reaches midway mark with mixed results but "the experience that they're getting is invaluable"
Jun 21 2015 09:50 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
Vancouver Whitecaps 2's inaugural USL season reached the midway point last Sunday.
14 games gone, 14 still to come, with hopefully some additional playoff matches at the end of it all.
The midway mark was reached in less than stellar fashion with a pretty poor performance in a 2-0 home defeat to a Los Angeles Galaxy II side that we can perhaps be held up as the measuring stick to where the 'Caps want to be this time next season with regards to their USL team.
Los Dos blazed the trail for MLS sides to put their own, standalone teams into USL and not just go down the rather unsuccessful affiliation route. LA certainly had a fairly successful debut season, finishing third in the regular season standings, before just losing out 3-2 in their playoff semi-final to the eventual champs, Sacramento Republic.
The team also gave Bruce Arena the ideal place to get his injured MLS players back to full fitness and get his younger guys more professional experience, and LA used that side to much success.
So after all the excitement, promise and fanfare of the Whitecaps launching their own USL side, has it lived up to Carl Robinson's hopes and expectations during this first half of their first season?

Switzerland's Lara Dickenmann ready for battle with Canada - "It's much more important to focus on Canada's team, not on the Canadian crowd."
Jun 21 2015 08:29 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
In a few hours time, Vancouver's BC Place will be packed to the rafters as around 53,000, mostly partisan, fans will watch the Canadian home heroes take on the Swiss misses in Women's World Cup action.
Have no doubts about it. This is a tough test for Canada and one they would dearly have liked to avoid at this first knockout stage of the tournament. There could be a lot of heartache around the stadium come the final whistle depending what Switzerland side we see on the pitch.
Led by one of the most exciting female players in the world today in Ramona Bachmann, the Swiss can be electric, free-flowing and a goal machine. They scored 53 goals in qualifying and are the second top scorers at this years World Cup with 11 goals. It's an area that Canada have been struggling in, with a stuttering attack.
Don't read too much into those stats though says Swiss midfielder Lara Dickenmann.

Report and Reaction: Outstanding Ousted sparks Whitecaps to action packed win at Red Bulls
Jun 21 2015 06:55 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
New York Red Bulls have never beaten Vancouver Whitecaps in five previous attempts. You can make that six now.
The 'Caps headed into Red Bull Arena full of optimism on the back of their win at LA in their last game and nicely rested after a bye week. They left New York with three points after a dramatic 2-1 win that saw the Red Bulls miss two penalties and play 80 minutes a man down.
Vancouver should have been home and dry and coasting after going ahead in the 15th minute. Despite their constant pressure for the rest of the first half, they didn't convert their chances once again, let New York back in to it in the second and were holding on for a bit, before finally adding a second goal on the break.
The headline maker and game winner was 'Caps keeper David Ousted, who saved two penalties and made a string of other key stops to spur Vancouver to victory, the only blip being a late goal that prevented the clean sheet.
All in all, a great three points for Vancouver, although the 'Caps management won't be happy with how long it took them grab a second and being on the back foot for so much of the second half against ten men. Still, three points is three points and that's all that ultimately matters in the end.

Toronto FC vs. New York City FC Match Preview - Four?
Jun 20 2015 03:36 PM | Michael Crampton in 24th Minute
Four wins.
Earlier in Toronto FC's 2015 season, I rather snarkily made light of the fact that the club has never won four MLS games in row. It's a feat most teams have done by accident. Certainly, Toronto has managed to lose four league games in a row. They lost their first four games ever. And there was that time they lost nine in a row to start a season.
Now, however, wins on the bounce over Portland, San Jose, and DC United have already equalled TFC's record for a league winning streak. MLS' Eastern Conference standings are interesting to look at, rather than just embarrassing. There's hope, and even reasonable expectation, at a club that has made an art of killing both.
Really, the question isn't whether Toronto FC should win their fourth game in a row. It's how, being TFC, they'll manage to mess it up.

Episode 117 - The AFTN Podcast - "There's Still Time" (Whitecaps Season Still To Come Roundtable with guest David Ousted)
Jun 20 2015 10:20 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
Vancouver Whitecaps are set to get back to MLS action after their bye week. Our last episode was a "Season So Far" roundtable, so we now bring you part two - the "Season Still To Come".
We're joined once again by AFTN writer Jay Duke and regular AFTN podcast contributor Zachary Meisenheimer to look at the issues of the day surrounding the 'Caps.
Who should be moved out in the transfer window and what positions need strengthened? Is the squad depth good enough? Will there be any movement at all?
There's a busy season still to come for the 'Caps in MLS, Champions League and Voyageurs Cup action. What should be their priorities and how will they fare in each competition?
Also, what one word and what movie titles could sum up the Whitecaps' season so far?
And there's still time for Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted to tell us his "Desert Island Discs" and for another instalment of everyone's least favourite gameshow, "30 Seconds To Mars".

Switzerland relaxed and feeling at home in Vancouver but wary of Canada's lack of World Cup goals so far - "We hope they haven't saved them all up for Sunday's game!"
Jun 20 2015 02:42 AM | Michael McColl in AFTN
When Canada planned out their World Cup scenarios going into this Women's World Cup, they probably didn't put much thought into facing Switzerland in their Second Round match-up on Sunday.
Sure, if both teams had finished second in their respective groups then they'd be facing off against each other in Edmonton on Saturday, but you have to feel the Canadians were pretty confident of winning their group and ending up in Vancouver to take on Cameroon or Ecuador.
As things played out, Canada squeaked into that first place spot in Group A as some luck and other results went their way. The Swiss meanwhile were undone by Cameroon in their final group game and now take on the hosts in front of what will be a sold-out fervent and partisan home crowd at BC Place.
It's not the match-up either team will have wanted.

Forward C.J. Fair preparing to take the next step for Syracuse
Jul 8, 2012, 5:00 PM EDT
Syracuse won 34 games and a regular season Big East title last season, but it fell short of the Final Four with a loss to Ohio State in the Elite 8.
With three of their top four scorers (not to mention center Fab Melo) moving on, the Orange will need some players to make the transition from role player to major contributor.
One of those will be junior forward C.J. Fair, who along with new Cleveland Cavalier Dion Waiters was Syracuse's most consistent option off the bench last season.
The Baltimore native may not have started many games but with an average of 26.4 minutes per contest Fair was one of Syracuse's most important players.
The question now: can he slide into the starring role opened up by the departure of starting wing Kris Joseph?
Fair hopes to use his experiences at both the Kevin Durant and LeBron James skills academies to his advantage in working towards that goal.
"Yes I've moved up to the wing," said Fair in an interview with NBCSports.com on Saturday afternoon. "Coach [Jim Boeheim] expects a lot out of me this season, and I think I'm ready for that challenge."
Fair's already a rather versatile player when it comes to what he's able to do on the floor.
But his junior campaign will bring along the expanded responsibilities (and opportunities) that weren't there with the likes of Joseph, Waiters, Scoop Jardine and Brandon Triche working on the perimeter.
"The camps have helped me out a lot, especially the Kevin Durant camp," said Fair. "I learned more about how to get open there, which is important now that I'll be a focus of the scouting report."
In two seasons at Syracuse, Fair has shot 49.3% from the field but the three-point percentage of 25.9% is something that he's working on improving this summer along with his handle.
He'll get more chances to score, and the workouts and camps this summer will go a long way in making sure that he's capable of taking advantage.
Fair will also replace Joseph in another department, as he and sophomore guard Michael Carter-Williams ("The Mike and C.J. Show") will take over what was the Syracuse Post-Standard's "Scoop and Kris Show."
Syracuse fans hope that the adjustments will happen without any difficulties, and given Fair's talent there should be little doubt as to whether or not he's up to the task.

|Reviews for Wrath to Come
| Guest chapter 17 . 6/19
Please update this story
| Jordan Crider chapter 17 . 6/7
Please continue I have never seen a story line quite like that its amazing please continue pleaseeeee.
| Guest chapter 5 . 4/14
you know everyone wanted to see Naruto fight against Sasuke in the Exams just to knock the arrogance out of Sasuke heavily but the creator of Naruto just started the Invasion and thus the possible fight was forgotten until the Uchiha turned traitor.
| 246vili chapter 17 . 3/25
Well the fights were good so far. But now it will be 100% skill from the Jinchurikis and 0% help from their Bijus, which will be great.
I hope you will update this story soon.
Btw, if Naruto had cast aside both his family names will he remain just 'Naruto' or will he eventually get another family/clan name, or forgive and accept his 'old' ones? Momochi is a strong possibility, since Haku will be the main girl in the harem, but he could also use Uchiha just to spite Sasuke... and most of Konoha, especially his former family. Or if he wins the exams he could get or create one for himself as the new Juubi.
| 246vili chapter 16 . 3/25
I was hoping Naruto will pir out Kakashi's eye, but he can always do it later. Call me sadistic, but I think that would be the ultimate punishment for him... and maybe breaking his spine, thus ending his ninja career for good.
| 246vili chapter 15 . 3/25
I wonder how will Hinata take the fact that Haku is the Number1 girl in Naruto's life. Pretty badly I guess.
| 246vili chapter 12 . 3/24
OKAY! Now I'm curious about that black bodysuit guy.
| 246vili chapter 9 . 3/24
You made Neji so much like Sasuke in most Sasuke-bashing stories that it's disturbing... all the more better when Naruto put's him down, permanently.
Oh, so Fuu and/or Yugito will not be part of the harem and keep the surrogate sibling kind of relationship with Naruto? Works for me.

So Naruto's future harem now has Moka and possibly Madara's little sister. Not bad meeting a vampira and practically about 116 year old Uchiha on the same day (not to mention the other shit that happened to Naruto that day).

Okay, I have to say I am impressed with the shinobi's reaction of the Namikaze family's "plan". So far in all the fanfics I read this is where they where berated (and that is putting it lightly) by the people of Konoha for what they did and not the other way around. Not suprising, since if I understand the "big plan" right, it was Minato who didn't sent Kyuubi to hell BEFORE it got to Konoha (he knew Kyuubi was going to Konoha) so all that death is because of him.
I'm suprised Naruto didn't attacked them, but it wouldn't had do him good in the long run.

I like the outdoor cat walk the best.
The video I posted below doesn't seem to want to play. But you can watch it at this link: http://vimeo.com/69225705#at=0
Looking forward to Spring......
The photo was so many kb that it cut off part of what I wrote...Duncan's "lanai" is a lot longer than it looks from that angle, and he has his own cat door cut into the house wall so that he can come and go as he chooses. One of the perches gives him a good view of the hummingbird feeder AND the gas grill.
I don't think it would work half so well if my friend's patio wasn't a semi-jungle...she has always been mad for gardening, and some of those hanging plants have been there for more than 30 years...through drought, earthquake(s), everything.
I could not do that, and the two cats we have now are afraid of the outdoors, anyway.
Funny FA! But personally, I never bitch about the heat, only about the cold. I so much want to move to a warmer climate.
I like that idea Felaine.
A friend of mine has an all chain link covered outdoor "lanai" for her cat, with built-in wooden perches, a renewable pot of "cat grass," and litter box. The cat has his own cat door cut in a wall of the house; the sides are 3 times as long as the width you see here, and he does spend a lot of time here. , and there's a people-gate at the opposite end.

Do drunk hook ups mean anything?
OK so a few weeks ago I was on beach week following high school graduation...My house was kind of a random group of people but there was this guy and... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Drunken hookups mean less than nothing. Don't get irritated at a guy you randomly hookup with because you feel unimportant to him. If you want to feel special, don't do drunken hookups.
So, who knows, maybe he likes you but you have to cut the drunken flirting out and be brave enough to just be with him sober and getting to know him, and having him do the same with you. Relationships come from an emotional connection and if you keep doing this drunken flirting he just won't be able to take you seriously.
Drunken hookups VERY rarely mean anything. Yea, there's always flirting...of course there is, obviously he's attracted to you because he made out with you. But that's pretty much all it is. If he really did like you, he would let you know and find a way to be with you. Most likely all you'll ever be to him is someone to make ot with when he's drunk...so if you're not okay with that your best bet is to stop before you get more emotionally involved.
What Guys Said 3
Yes, it means you are really STUPID!
Here's what can happen with Drunk hookups!
1. Unwanted pregnancy
2. STD's including AIDS
3. Injury or DEATH
4. Getting a really bad reputation that prevents future positive relationships.
I have seen every one of the above happen to women I know (knew)... emphasis on KNEW!
It is a silly pointless game that hurts you... DON'T DO IT!
There is a really old movie on DVD that EVERY woman should watch called "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" It stars Diane Keaton... Watch it, it will change your life... In a really good way!
What Girls Said 3
do they teach common sense in high school sex ed classes anymore? anyways, it could lead to basically needing to get tested for STDs or worst, getting prego with some random guy at a party, a lot of gossip and a bad reputation like someone said.
if he were serious, he wouldn't have had sex with you in the first place. he likes you but for the wrong reasons obviously because the first impression is he can have an easy *&^% with you.
Have an opinion?

And say that I think Malcolm Jones's critique of the Library of America is pretty stupid. I wanted to write something more inflammatory and fun, but E.J. and Nate wisely advised against it.
In case you haven't read this piece, Jones basically tees-off on the LOA, claiming they've "jumped the shark" by publishing sub-par writers and not adhering to their mission:
Here's how the LOA describes itself and its mission: "The Library of America helps to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping in print, authoritative editions of America's best and most significant writing. An independent nonprofit organization, it was founded in 1979 with seed money from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ford Foundation."
What's really at work in Jones's diatribe is a filtered exposure of his own aesthetic concept of "best and most significant." This is sooooooo Newsweek. Obviously, the Jones canon is as predictable as white toast (with special emphasis on white and male), and he's not a big fan of Philip K. Dick (OK, my blood starts to boil), Nathaniel West, Lovecraft, Dawn Powell. But here's the moment that really pissed me off:
And then, in May, here comes an entire volume dedicated to . . . Shirley Jackson? A writer mostly famous for one short story, "The Lottery." Is LOA about to jump the shark?
It's been a couple years, but I'll totally stand by We Have Always Lived in the Castle. And I'll make a random guess that Jones has never read this, or The Haunting of Hill House, both of which are in the prestigious Penguin Classics series . . .
Besides, every good publisher uses its platform to introduce audiences to authors they may not be aware of, or might enjoy being exposed to. What was the fastest selling LOA book in history? The first collection of PKD novels. Why? Perhaps because a lot of readers are sick of the predictable and unchanging "American Canon." Preserve away LOA. Give me surprises, bind them in elegant black, matching volumes. And cheers to editor Geoffrey O'Brien for taking risks and modernizing an enterprise that could otherwise become insanely insular and staid.
The August 16th issues of the New York Review of Books is now available online, including the full contents of Geoffrey O'Brien's piece on The Sopranos, Timothy Garton Ash's article on Gunter Grass, and Eliot Weinberger's Notes on Susan Sontag.

Never heard of it. And I'm usually on the ball with 80's stuff like that. But this is too obscure for even me.
WOW! It looks like a bad Youtube video, not an acutal TV show.
Yeppers there's a reason I don't recall this one.
Monkey Shines is an American TV series that aired for one day in 1985 on ABC. It premiered as a 46-minute pilot at 8 A.M. and was cancelled during the first commerical break. Jonathan Coulton starred as well as writing and directing the pilot episode. Since its cancellation in the first 30-minutes, the show has achieved cult status, best-known for the fact that no one knows anything about it. Numerous myths about the show circulate the web, although few have ever been substantiated.
and no I don't remember it.
Wow. And we complain about how fast shows are cancelled now? This one didn't make it to the end of it's first episode! That's crazy bad!
I love my awesome crazy wonderful friends!!

Very interesting. Great TV trivia. I don't remember it, either, and hadn't heard that history.
Eddie: You mean to tell me you could have taken your hand out of those cuffs at any time?
Roger: Not at any time. Only when it's funny.
It looks like a joke. Even the name "Monkey Shines" makes it sound like a April Fools prank. But if SCUBAbe says it's real, I believe it.

On his website, Jonathan Coulton , Coulton reminisces about his acting days.
Yeah, I dont know what to say about this. Everyone knows what happened to my acting career in the 80s - lets just say that I should have been working at Sea World because I was very good at making sharks jump. Or I guess, making people, or rather television shows, jump over sharks. Or Fonzie. Whatever! You know what I mean. This series never got of the ground, and to be perfectly honest I dont even remember shooting the pilot - as you know, in those days I would drink about 10 Cokes before I even got out of bed, that was what it took for me to feel normal. So its safe to say that I was still feeling pretty loopy by the time they turned the cameras on. This particular failure was one shark (jumped over) too many, and it pretty much marked the end of my TV career (punching Stephen J. Canell in the eye at Tony Danzas progressive dinner party did not help, ha ha).
I really like the laptop computers that Coulton and Neil Gaiman are using in the opening.

MOre information from paulandstorm.com
Jonathan Coultons short-lived sitcom Monkey Shines had an extremely brief run on ABC in 1985; it was cancelled during the first commercial break of the first episode, and was ordered destroyed by then-ABC President Grant Tinker. The show slowly developed a cult following through the years, however but although numerous rumors of bootleg recordings of the show circulated, they all proved to be hoaxes or, in several cases, episodes from season 3 of Felicity.
In early 2008, in a sub-basement of the Yale University anthropological studies department, researchers unearthed a Betacam master video recording of the pilot episode opening credits. (Unfortunately, the remainder of the episode was apparently recorded over with footage of the Yale Whiffenpoofs 1991 Holiday Jamboree Sing-a-bration) To date, this remains the only authenticated footage from Monkey Shines. (Reclusive star Coulton has not returned repeated requests for comment)
I don't know, this just feels like a hoax to me. Anyone can create a Wikipedia page, and for a supposed cult following, there's a suspicious lack of references to it (not the '80s movie by the same name) on search engines. It looks like this was an April Fool's prank by the supposed stars. At least that's my guess.
Mind you, I do remember there being a series in the '80s that was cancelled mid-episode, but starred... um, maybe Paula Poundstone? In any case, this wasn't it.
ETA: Aha! My BS detector is apparently correct about this:
The Whiffenpoof reference is also a pretty good clue that it's a joke.Not to be a fun-ruiner, but this show didn't actually exist; it's a one-off joke involving Jonathan Coulton, Neil Gaiman, and Paul and Storm, among others. I don't know how to mark it as fictional. UltraNurd (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Agreed...the YouTube video is even shot in 16:9, and in 1985, Coulton was only 15. -EmiOfBrie (talk) 07:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Two People Stabbed Sunday Morning at Tufts University at the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity House
NECN is reporting that two people have been stabbed at Tufts University in Medford, Mass at the Delta Tau Delta frat house. Tufts officials had asked students to seek shelter and lock their doors around 5 AM Sunday while police responded to reports of an assault. The conditions of the stabbing victims are unknown. Tufts spokeswoman Kim Thurler says the victims are not affiliated with Tufts and that the incident "appears to be non-random.". Currently, the police have no suspects in custody.
Police on the Tufts University campus in Medford, Massachusetts, are investigating an apparent stabbing, according to the university.
The incident occurred early Sunday morning at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at 98 Professors Row, a street that runs through the campus.
According to police, two victims are being treated for stab wounds at a local hospital. Tufts says the victims are not affiliated with the university.
The suspect is at large. Police initially ordered a shelter-in-place while they conducted a search of the area, but later lifted the restriction and said that the crime was not a random act.
Tufts University is posting updates on its Twitter feed.
UPDATE I: The Shelter in place' order lifted in Tufts stabbings.
A shelter-in-place order has been lifted at Tufts University in Medford this morning after two people were apparently stabbed "near the campus," the school reported on Twitter.
The incident occurred at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity on Professors Row, involving people who were not affiliated with the campus, the university stated on Twitter, calling the incident "non-random."
Somerville Police Deputy Chief Paul Trant had no immediate information on the victims or their conditions, but said no arrests have been made and the investigation is active and ongoing.
"We don't believe it was a random act of violence," Trant said. 'We believe the parties were known to each other."
Students and staff were told at approximately 5:30 a.m. to stay inside and lock their doors until further notice. At approximately 8 a.m. the university tweeted that people could "return to their normal activities."

University of Virginia Dean Sues Rolling Stone Magazine for 'False' Portrayal & Defamation Lawsuit in Retracted Rape Story
UVA to sue Rolling Stone magazine for defamation. I am generally not a law-suit happy individual; however, this one was a no-brainer. Following the completely irresponsible reporting by Rolling Stone, A Rape on Campus, and the subsequent retracting of the story and apology after the story fell apart, University of Virginia associate dean of students filed a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone magazine Tuesday. GOOD!!! With what Rolling Stone did, might just be the poster-child of cases for defamation.
Rolling Stone reported, A Rape on Ca,pus, What went wrong. Many people have been asking since the magazine retracted their story, Rolling Stone journalism … what went wrong?
A University of Virginia associate dean of students filed a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone magazine Tuesday, alleging that it portrayed her as callous and indifferent to allegations of sexual assault on campus and made her the university's "chief villain" in a now-debunked article about a fraternity gang rape.
Nicole Eramo is seeking more than $7.5 million in damages from Rolling Stone; its parent company, Wenner Media; and Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the investigative journalist who wrote the explosive account of sexual assault on the campus in Charlottesville. The magazine retracted the article after news organizations and the Columbia University journalism school found serious flaws in it.
Eramo, who is the university's chief administrator dealing with sexual assaults, argues in the lawsuit that the article destroyed her credibility, permanently damaged her reputation and caused her emotional distress. She assailed the account as containing numerous falsehoods that the magazine could have avoided if it had worked to verify the story of its main subject, a student named Jackie who alleged she was gang-raped in 2012 and that the university mishandled her case.

23 Year Old Penn State Student Jon Steindorf Missing Since 5/8/15 in State College, PA (Update: Lied to Parents about Graduation & Attending Classes)(Update: Found Safe)
23 year old Penn State student Jon Steindorf has been missing since Friday, May 8, 2015 in State College, Pennsylvania. According to reports, the PSU student vanished just before his graduation. Stendort was last seen by his roommate at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Steindorf was reported missing when he did not meet his family to go to his Penn State graduation Friday at around 4 p.m. at his Pugh Street apartment. He did not return any of his family's phone calls or messages.
Missing – Jon Steindorf
Steindorf was reported missing when he did not meet his family to go to his Penn State graduation Friday at around 4 p.m.
Police describe Steindorf as a 23-year-old white male, 5'10" tall, 170 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes. He may have his black Specialized bicycle with him and a red backpack.
He left his apartment on Pugh Street without any form of identification, credit/debit cards, keys, phone, and potentially money, according to a social media post circulating among Steindorf's family and friends.
UPDATE I: Police search for missing Penn State student.
"The police have gone through his apartment, talked to his roommate and took his phone for forensic analysis," the woman said. "We've been in contact with all his friends, everybody they know, and really are just at a loss as to his whereabouts."
A friend told the publication she's checking his usual haunts. She hasn't found him.
Joanne Steindorf said her son always let friends and family know his whereabouts.
UPDATE II: Parents thought missing man was graduating from Penn State.
It would appear that this kid was not being honest about graduating from college or even attending classes. I am not sure how long this missing student thought he could continue this charade; however, it is nothing to do anything extreme over. Is it an embarrassment, yes. But your parents just want you back safe and sound.
The parents of a missing 23-year-old State High graduate thought they'd be attending his graduation from Penn State this weekend.
As it turned out, Jon Steindorf had not enrolled last fall and had mysteriously vanished on Friday.
Steindorf was reported missing by his family Friday evening, a few hours after they went to his Pugh Street apartment at 4 p.m. to pick him up for Penn State commencement exercises.
His father, Paul Steindorf, said Sunday that he learned his son was not set to graduate this weekend, although Jon Steindorf told his parents that he wrapped up studies in the fall semester and delayed graduation until this spring.
"We thought he'd graduate, and that was our understanding that he completed fall classes and he delayed graduation until now, but the most recent information we received was he was not on the list to graduate," Paul Steindorf said. "Apparently he wasn't enrolled this fall."
UPDATE III: Missing Penn State student lied to parents about graduation.
Jon Steindorf's parents thought they were coming to State College to pick up their son after this weekend's graduation from Penn State University. But as graduation approached, they learned that not only wasn't their son graduating; he hasn't been enrolled in Penn State since the fall.
And now, Jon Steindorf, 23, is missing.
WTAJ reports that State College Police are now looking for a missing Penn State student. His parents last spoke with Jon Steindorf Thursday.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact State College police at 814-234-7150.
UPDATE IV: Missing Penn State student found Safe.
A Penn State student reported missing by his parents last week has been found, and is safe and unharmed, State College police said Monday afternoon.
State College Police Department Media Release: The missing person has been located, is safe and unharmed.

The University of Florida's Zeta Beta Tau Frat Under Investigation After Members Spit On Wounded Vets and Pissed on American Flag (Update: UF Suspends ZBT)
The University of Florida's Zeta Beta Tau frat is under investigation after it was reported that members of their fraternity spit on wounded veterans and their service dogs and urinated on American flags. WTF is wrong with kids these days? The incident occurred at Panama Beach, gee what a shocker, when Zeta Beta Tau students from UF and Emory University were in Panama City Beach for their spring formal and wounded vets and their families were in town as well as part of the Warrior Beach Retreat. Panama City, FL gets another black eye. Is there any semblance of decorum in this town anymore? The University of Florida and Emory University should be embarrassed and ashamed of the actions of there frats. Personally, I believe they should be booted off campus and eliminated. This kind of conduct should never be tolerated. The UF ZBT frat was already on probation prior to this disgusting act. Sorry, they need to be gone, they obviously serve no functional purpose and have such contempt for wounded American heroes that have defended America's freedom's, including theirs.
The University of Florida's chapter of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is under investigation after members spit on and took flags from wounded veterans.
Last weekend, Zeta Beta Tau students from UF and Emory University were in Panama City Beach for their spring formal. They were staying at the Laketown Wharf Resort where veterans were also staying for the Warrior Beach Retreat, according to Linda Cope, founder of the retreat.
For the past six years, the Warrior Beach Retreat has been hosted by Panama City Beach twice a year to bring in wounded veterans and their families.
Cope honors her son, Joshua, at the retreat — he lost both legs and his right hand after his vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Iraq, according to the retreat site.
Members of the University of Florida chapter of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity are under investigation after spitting on and taking flags from wounded veterans. The students and veterans were in Panama City Beach when the incident occurred.
Cope said Zeta Beta Tau students picked on the veterans, spit on them and their service dogs, and urinated on American flags.
"In all of my years, I've never seen such debauchery and disrespect," Cope said.
Linda Cope then received an email apology from UF President W. Kent Fuchs, Executive Director of the National Zeta Beta Tau Laurence A. Bolotin, but nothing from Emory University.
"I want to make clear that I am deeply sorry for the affront that our students may have caused," Fuchs wrote in the email. "I want to assure you that it is not representative of our students or our university, and we will make every effort to learn more, take appropriate action and prevent similar incidents from occurring again."
"The University of Florida is extremely concerned about allegations, specifically of illegal behavior with our students," Sikes said. "We're taking this matter vary seriously and opened an investigation to determined what happened and what we need to do in response."
Executive Director of the National Zeta Beta Tau Laurence A. Bolotin, a University of Florida graduate from 2001, also wrote to Cope, stating Emory, UF and the international headquarters are fully cooperating with investigations and both chapters have placed themselves under suspension.
UPDATE I: The University of Florida has Suspended ZBT.
The University of Florida suspended one of its fraternities on Friday after allegations that its members hurled drunken insults and spat at a group of disabled military veterans at a Panama City Beach resort.
The school said on Friday that it is charging the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity with obscene behavior, public intoxication, theft, causing physical or other harm, and damage to property.
The suspension came after the fraternity had already suspended operations itself and expelled three of its members after finding they had behaved inappropriately.
"I am personally offended and disappointed by the behavior that has been described to me," Dave Kratzer, the school's student affairs vice president and retired U.S. Army major general, said in a statement.
UPDATE II: Emory University claims their Frat were angels.
Emory officials said they are investigating but so far there's no evidence to implicate their students in the incident. Emory's Zeta Beta Tau fraternity told CBS 46 in Atlanta they were shocked to learn of what they call "atrocious acts."
But Cope told the station: "There were too many students from Emory for none of them to be involved. It is hard for me to believe that no Emory student was a part of this. This denial is a slap in the face of veterans."
About 60 veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan were also attending a retreat that has been held twice a year for the past six years at the resort. Cope started the event in honor of her son Joshua, who lost both legs in Baghdad in 2006 when a roadside bomb exploded under his Humvee.
One letter to Fuchs described students spitting on veterans, throwing beer bottles over a balcony and ripping flags off their cars.
Cope said hotel security got the situation under control and the fraternity members were evicted the next morning. The fraternity sent a letter of apology to Cope.

That text explained his whereabouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, and was traced by Allen's phone service provider to the area around Folsom Field on the CU campus. He was last seen by roommates on Tuesday the 14th, according to his parents.
Allen's parents, Berry and Sheryl Allen, said that he swiped his Buff Onecard into Macky Auditorium's main entrance on Sunday, April 12th, but did not get in; he does not have access to the building on his card. Allen is in CU's University Choir and has a class in Mackey. He attended choir practice on the night of April 13, according to his parents.
Allen is a communications major who transferred to CU in January from Clemson University in South Carolina. He is a second-year student and lives off campus.

That was the last anyone heard from Allen. But while canvasing Tuesday, the Allens got their first potential break.
Boulder police ask anyone with information on Allen's whereabouts to contact Detective Sarah Cantu at 303-441-4328. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776.

Two Troy University Students, 23 Year Old Ryan Austin Calhoun & 22 Year Old Delonte' Martistee Arrested for Gang Rape on Beach as Bystandsers Just Looked on in Panama City, FL
During a press conference last Friday, Bay County Sheriff's Office officials announced the arrests of Delonte' Martistee, 22, and Ryan Austin Calhoun, 23, both students of Troy University in Alabama, on charges in connection with a gang rape that occurred between March 10-12, 2015 on the beach. The rape that was witnessed by hundreds of people in broad daylight on Spring Break went initially unreported; however, the assault was captured on a cell phone video. Authorities learned of the assault when police in Troy, Alabama, discovered the video while investigating a shooting. The arrests stem from a video taken in March behind Spinnaker Beach Club, 8795 Thomas Drive where several men are surrounding an incapacitated young woman on a beach chair as no one lifted a finger to help her. Unbelievable, this is what today's youth has come to.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen said during the presser, he likened the scene to "wild animals preying on a carcass laying in the woods" and called the video the "most disgusting, sickening thing" he has ever seen.
The initial incident went unreported, though it occurred in the presence of hundreds of witnesses on a crowded beach in broad daylight, leaving officials concerned with how much crime has gone unreported or ignored by visitors during Spring Break.
The arrests stem from a video taken in March behind Spinnaker Beach Club, 8795 Thomas Drive. Several men are surrounding an incapacitated young woman on a beach chair. As she tries to remove their hands from her genital region, utterances to the effect of "she isn't going to know" can be heard from the men.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen fumed as he likened the scene to "wild animals preying on a carcass laying in the woods" and called the video the "most disgusting, sickening thing" he has ever seen.
If this is what happens in broad day light, could you only imagine what goes on at night? Sorry, I am no prude and have done Spring break myself back in the day, but this crap is just insane. The idea that raping an unconscious female is okay is revolting and even worse, no one did a damn thing to stop it.
"This is happening in broad daylight with hundreds of people seeing and hearing what is happening, and they are more concerned about spilling their beer than somebody being raped," McKeithen said.
The video was obtained by Troy Police during an investigation into a shooting in the college town, officials said. Officers discovered the video while searching the phone of a witness to the shooting and contacted BCSO. Otherwise, the incident might have not been reported, McKeithen said.
The victim said she thought she had been drugged at the time, and she did not remember the incident enough to report it, she told BCSO.
"She knows something happened, but she doesn't know what happened," McKeithen said.
UPDATE I: Students suspended after charges in Panama City Beach sex assault.
Two Alabama college students have been suspended after authorities discovered a cellphone video that allegedly shows them sexually assaulting a woman at a Florida beach while a large crowd of spring-break revelers watches.
Both students attended Troy University.
Delonte Martistee, a 22-year-old senior from Bainbridge, Georgia, and Ryan Calhoun, a 23-year-old sophomore from Mobile, Alabama, were arrested Thursday in Alabama on Florida warrants. Martistee remained in jail Sunday in Panama City. Calhoun was released on bond.
The sheriff's office said additional arrests are expected.
Back in Alabama, Troy University Dean of Student Services Herbert Reeves said Sunday that both students have been suspended. Martistee was also removed from the track and field team, he said.
The university athletic department's official website lists Martistee as a former Bainbridge High School athlete who has competed for Troy in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. He was a Georgia high school state champion in the triple jump and participated in football, basketball and soccer in high school, according to the site.

University of Michigan Cancels 'American Sniper' Screening … 'Made Students Feel Unsafe' (Update U-M football coach Jim Harbaugh To the Rescue, Movie Back On)
REALLY … Maybe the University of Michigan should change their name from the Wolverines to the "Weenies".
AMERICA, DO YOU REALIZE YOU ARE BEING DESTROYED FROM WITHIN RIGHT? University of Michigan spokesman Rick Fitzgerald confirmed to The College Fix on Tuesday the movie, American Sniper" was cancelled because it made students feel unsafe. GOOD GRIEF!!! Instead, the University was going to show Paddington the Bear. What kind of gutless cowards exist on college campuses today that continually play the victim card? You people are going to do well in life, but then again, these are the same folks that live in your parents home until your 30. Hey Michigan, you might want to change your fight song to … Hail! to the
victors "victims" valiant. Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes "cowards".
However, University of Michigan sophomore Jason Weaver still has the right to call himself a Wolverine as he said, "It would be nice to see the university … take a stand against outrageous claims of 'student exclusion. The film American Sniper in no way creates student exclusion any more than Saving Private Ryan". You would be 100% correct. But we can't have anything on a college campus that would properly depict radical Muslims Islamists as Nazi's.
What a sad state of affairs at our American Universities
University: 'While our intent was to show a film, the impact of the content was harmful, and made students feel unsafe and unwelcome at our program'
A scheduled movie screening of "American Sniper" at the University of Michigan was abruptly cancelled Tuesday after nearly 300 students and others complained the film perpetuates "negative and misleading stereotypes" against Muslims.
"The movie American Sniper not only tolerates but promotes anti-Muslim … rhetoric and sympathizes with a mass killer," according to an online letter circulated among the campus community via Google Docs that garnered the signatures.
The signers were mostly students, but also some staff, as well as the Muslim Students' Association and the president of Students Allied for Freedom and Equality, a Palestinian solidarity group at UMich.
The online memo, titled a "collective letter from Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Muslim students on campus," accused the public university of "tolerating dangerous anti-Muslim and anti-MENA propaganda" by showing the movie, the highest grossing film of 2014.
follows U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who served four combat tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, two Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medals, and one Navy and Marine Corps commendation, according to his official Facebook page. But the protestors see him differently.
As reported at the Washington Free Beacon, more than 300 students protested the decision to screen the film because it advanced "negative and misleading stereotypes" against Muslims. The online petition was started by a "Palestinian solidarity group" called the Students Allied for Freedom and Equality and the Muslim Students' Association. And the university folded like a cheap suit. Um, "negative and misleading stereotypes" … the actions depicted in American Sniper are the truth. I am so sorry if Muslim students can't handle the truth … what do you think that radical Muslim Islamists act like? So is it a misleading stereotype to depict radical Muslim as savage, beheading murders?
UPDATE I: Jim Harbaugh endorses 'American Sniper' after U-M cancels showing
For four months, Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh's Twitter feed has been a combination of entertainment, opponent tweaks and comments on his team.
Tonight, he walked into a university controversy.
On Tuesday, the university canceled a scheduled Friday night showing of the movie "American Sniper" due to pressure from Muslim and Arab students after a student-led petition drive challenged its depiction of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiments.
After 9:30 p.m., Harbaugh weighed in, with a message to his 215,000 followers.
UPDATE II : U-M reverses course, will show 'American Sniper' … Gutless Weenie UM administration tries to save face.
After a day filled with intense controversy, the University of Michigan reversed course late Wednesday night and decided to show the movie "American Sniper" at its originally scheduled time and place.
"It was a mistake to cancel the showing of the movie 'American Sniper' on campus as part of a social event for students," the statement from E. Royster Harper, the vice president of student life, said. It was sent just after 10:45 p.m. to the media.
"The initial decision to cancel the movie was not consistent with the high value the University of Michigan places on freedom of expression and our respect for the right of students to make their own choices in such matters.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely, Author of Rolling Stone Magazine Article on University of Virginia Rape Offers Apology for False Story to all but the Fraternity
Rolling Stone magazine is in full retreat on their now completely discredited University of Virginia rape story where the so-called rape victim, Jackie, was assaulted at a UVA fraternity. The author of the article, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, is now offering an apology and Rolling Stone is asking what went wrong. Hmm, you mean besides everything? Rolling Stone has officially retracted the article, 'A Rape on Campus,' as nothing can ce corroborated; however, has the damage already been done? Sabrina Rubin Erdely offered an apology saying, "I want to offer my deepest apologies: to Rolling Stone's readers, to my Rolling Stone editors and colleagues, to the U.V.A. community, and to any victims of sexual assault who may feel fearful as a result of my article." Um, and I can't actually believe I am saying this as I have no love for the fraternity system, but where is Rolling Stone's apology to the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity where the faux rape occurred? Could it be because the fraternity will most likely sue Rolling Stone for libel?
Rape is a terrible crime unto itself and affects a victim for the rest of their life. But to report such a sensational, false story like this and not have any journalistic integrity, no fact checking, no nothing what so ever, is a crime itself.
Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the author of a now-discredited article in Rolling Stone magazine about a rape at a University of Virginia fraternity, issued this statement:
"The past few months, since my Rolling Stone article "A Rape on Campus" was first called into question, have been among the most painful of my life. Reading the Columbia account of the mistakes and misjudgments in my reporting was a brutal and humbling experience. I want to offer my deepest apologies: to Rolling Stone's readers, to my Rolling Stone editors and colleagues, to the U.V.A. community, and to any victims of sexual assault who may feel fearful as a result of my article.
"Over my 20 years of working as an investigative journalist — including at Rolling Stone, a magazine I grew up loving and am honored to work for — I have often dealt with sensitive topics and sources. In writing each of these stories I must weigh my compassion against my journalistic duty to find the truth. However, in the case of Jackie and her account of her traumatic rape, I did not go far enough to verify her story. I allowed my concern for Jackie's well-being, my fear of re-traumatizing her, and my confidence in her credibility to take the place of more questioning and more facts. These are mistakes I will not make again.
There seems to be more missing from the Rolling Stone mea culpa on this false rape article that they published, who is being held responsible for such a miscarriage of journalism? Who got suspended, who got fired … no one. So how are we to believe this will never happen again at Rolling Stone, because they said so? Sorry folks, but as private investigators Sam Spade, Humphrey Bogart, said in The Maltese Falcon, some one must take the fall.
So, there was a massive "failure of journalism" here, but none of the journalists who failed so massively will lose their jobs, and none of the journalistic practices that led to this failure will change.
Somehow, this is so America 2015. Leaders "take full responsibility" for failure, but rarely seem to pay a price for it. As we tell our children, "'Sorry' is not a magic word." That is, it's great to say "I'm sorry" when you've done wrong, but saying the word does not erase the consequences of the deed. You have to show by your actions that you mean it.
The editors who handled that UVA story will remain in place. Unbelievably, even the writer who wrote the catastrophic lies will not suffer any professional penalty at the magazine.
