Originally written on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 4/16/12
It's not often that a defensive tackle can become the most important draft pick in the history of a professional football team but ultimately, the fourth overall selection in the 1969 National Football League Draft became exactly that. Charles Edward Greene, better known as "Mean Joe" Greene was the defensive tackle in question. Drafted out of North Texas State by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Greene would go on to become one of the most dominating defensive players of his or any other time. Known as a man that absolutely despised losing and would do anything to avoid it, Greene would win four Super Bowl titles with the Steelers and would enter the NFL Hall of Fame in 1987. His story is quite familiar, but two other guys from that draft would prove extremely crucial to the Steelers' dominance of the 1970's as well. In the third round of that draft a young man name Jon Kolb was selected by the Steelers out of Oklahoma State. While Kolb didn't see the field much in his first two seasons, h...

Closing arguments given in former Oxnard officer's molestation trial
In his lengthy career with the Oxnard Police Department, Michael Warren Williamson was known to many as a trustworthy man who worked with children and teens as a youth services officer, defense attorneys said.
In his closing argument Wednesday in Williamson's molestation trial, John McNamara of the Public Defenders Office said Williamson is still that family man people trust and someone who "has the integrity" to own up to his mistakes.
The picture prosecutors have painted of Williamson as a "vicious and horrible" child molester, however, is out of character and completely false, McNamara said.
"You have to ask yourself: Can such a person be a youth services officer ... and have a family in the community?" McNamara said to jurors. "People who know him all told you he is a trustworthy person and honest person, and not a person who has an unnatural interest in children."
Williamson, 57, faces five felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years old and two counts of sexual abuse on a child under 14. He also faces one count of aggravated assault on a child under 14 by means of forcible sexual penetration and special allegations with substantial sexual conduct.
The eight charges involve two female complainants and incidents between 1991 and August 2008. A third female said Williamson molested her when she was 15 years old in 1997, while a male, now 31, testified Williamson molested him in the late 1980s. Williamson was not charged with those earlier alleged incidents.
Williamson retired from the Oxnard Police Department in 2001. He was arrested in August 2008 and has been out on bail.
McNamara on Wednesday said each of the complaints had "an ax to grind" with Williamson and their testimonies were unreliable. McNamara said jurors instead should consider testimonies from Williamson's family, friends, former co-workers and neighbors who maintained Williamson was a trustworthy person.
McNamara said one complainant, who testified Williamson molested her from the ages of 8 to 12, has a "passing relationship with the truth" and had a pattern of lying to her family and police.
During her testimony, the complainant, now 17, said her last sexual encounter with Williamson occurred in June 2008. He told her it "would be the last time" and that "she owed it to him" because he was driving her to the mall, she said.
The girl said she was afraid to tell her father or other family members because she was afraid of Williamson.
McNamara said the girl was a "pathological liar" and said her accusation was "a fantasy" because another person was in the home during the alleged incident and did not hear anything.
Another complainant said Williamson forced her to perform acts on him in his car when they were alone on runs to rent movies at Blockbuster. She said he molested her from ages 12 to 17.
McNamara said the complainant, now 34, only came forward in August 2008 in order to help "bolster" the other complainant's accusations. McNamara said others testified they did not remember Williamson only taking one child to rent movies, which was a weekly affair.
In his rebuttal, Prosecutor Brent Nibecker said Williamson would use his truck with darkly tinted windows, pull into a residential neighborhood and tell the complainant to perform the sexual acts before going to Blockbuster.
"Does a 13-year-old girl know how to react ... when a police officer starts touching her inappropriately?" Nibecker said. "Furthermore, she did talk to her mom about this .., and her own mom told her she needs to be careful and it was her responsibility to make sure that didn't happen again."
McNamara also said there were plenty of opportunities for the complainant to report Williamson to authorities, but instead the woman went back to live with Williamson with her family in his Oxnard home on Devilfish Drive.
"The truth is, this didn't happen," McNamara said. "She has motive to be untruthful, and her story does not make sense."
McNamara said while Williamson is a trustworthy person, he was "not a perfect man." Williamson testified last week he did try to have sex with a 19-year-old stripper while he was on a break from his undercover duties. McNamara said Williamson did confess to his wife and Oxnard police after the incident.
"This is a man of integrity," McNamara said. "It shows he's not perfect, but it does not show he is a child molester."
Jurors will start their deliberation Thursday.

I run out, got the organic coriolus in Iherb: I went back to outside lower range for neutrophils. Back with this product, back in the range. I forgot to have the cells tested with the Bell's brand products, since we cannot get this product from Mushroom science in Iherd. I wonder if they work. In other words: this products DOES INCREASE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, on fact, and I am so disappointed that Iherb does not get it anymore

Place Your Bid For James Bond's Original 1965 Aston Martin DB5
How cool does a car have to be to earn a $5 million price tag? As cool James Bond, of course.
How cool does a car have to be to earn a $5 million price tag? As cool James Bond, of course.
ScreenCrush and GuySpeed are partnering up for a weekly DVD giveaway. This week, we're offering up a copy of the box office-smashing, record-breaking, James Bond flick, 'Skyfall,' starring Daniel Craig as the infamous 007.
Yesterday we brought you the news that Adele will be appearing at the 2013 Oscars to perform the Best Original Song nominated "Skyfall." But now there's even bigger James Bond news to share: it's looking like every actor who has portrayed the classic character are set to appear on stage together for the first time ever to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of James Bond. This calls for a martini!
As the Academy prepares to pay tribute to James Bond during next month's 2013 Oscar ceremony, the show's producers recently announced that one of the movie franchise's most memorable songs, the nominated "Skyfall," will be performed on stage by Adele. We are already marking this down as a "must see" moment of the night.
Country newcomers are both clever and creative in their efforts to get fans to vote for them for those precious and all-important Academy of Country Music Awards. Singer Hunter Hayes, who also nabbed a Grammy nomination, adopted an infinitely stylish way to encourage fans to pony up more ACM votes: he offered up his best impression of James Bond.
To be honest, this is the first time we've made it all the way through the theme song for the latest Bond movie. Maybe it's the fancy suit, but comedian and 'Best Week Ever' host Paul F. Tompkins keeps us more entertained than Adele
'Skyfall' has become a monster hit, and is on track to be the most successful Bond film of all time (unadjusted, natch), as it's already crossed $100 Million domestically, is over half a billion worldwide, and shows no signs of stopping. Now the film's stunning opening credit sequence is available online.
Maybe Adele's 'Skyfall' Bond song isn't for you, or maybe you really like a capella music. Maybe you just need maximum James Bond in your life at all times. Even if you don't like James Bond, it's got a mo
'Skyfall' is finally making its US debut this week, but it's already gone above and beyond at the UK box office. Since its October premiere overseas, the latest James Bond flick has surpassed the country's sales of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' and has blown away the last two Daniel Craig-led Bond films, and the hopes are even higher for its release here.
But what if our current 007 actor wasn't around to bask in the success of 'Skyfall' (or 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace,' for that matter)? Despite the film's successes, talk has recently shifted to Craig as he revealed that he -- how can we put this delicately? -- kind of hates portraying James Bond.
It's hard to imagine what the movies would be like without James Bond. Ian Fleming's debonaire and daring secret agent has become the modern definition of a man's man, despite the fact that he's not a real person.
'Skyfall' is a movie very much intended to return James Bond to his classic roots; roots established by actors like Sean Connery. Connery hasn't starred in a movie since 2003's 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' (what a disappointing way to go out...) but his almost ten-year retirement almost ended with a role opposite the character that made him famous.
In anticipation of the upcoming release of 'Skyfall,' the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, we've explored five of our favorite Bond gadgets and put them to the test of reality. It's every guy's (and probably girl's) dream to have their own real life Q and his accompanying gadgets. But how many of these are accurate portrayals of reality and how many are far-flung fantasies that belong on the big screen?

LIU Brooklyn star Julian Boyd tears ACL for second time in nine months
For the second time in nine months, LIU Brooklyn forward Julian Boyd has torn his ACL and will miss at least half of the 2013-14 season.
Boyd, a 6-foot-7 forward from Texas, suffered the injury in July and underwent surgery shortly after. According to reports, head coach Jack Perri is hoping Boyd can return to the Blackbirds in January.
The 2012 Northeast Conference Player of the Year first tore his ACL in the eighth game of last season, a 97-70 win over Rice. He was averaging 18.5 points and 6.1 rebounds at the time, after putting up 17.4 points and 9.3 boards during the 2011-12 season.
Boyd also missed the 2009-10 season due to a heart condition, and had been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA to play this season.
Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports Network first reported the news.

The staff was friendly and theatre clean.
The review by the above writer is spot on. The banner ad for Thor was outside the windows and thus covered up the collection of star photos you'd see as you went up the escalator.

First i think Dani is a great rider but it's a fact that after 8 years on a works bike he has not won the Moto gp title. I think time has ran out for him he would not be on a Repsol bike if Stoner had retired would he. Honda must think Casey won on it first time out so why didn't Dani with all his experience on the same bike and now they have Marquez who most see as a potential World Champion. I think Dani needs to move on (or may be he will be forced forced) to try another manufacturer if
he can see what he can do on a different bike. I don't know much about Puig but he always seems to be telling Dani what to do and seems to think he knows whats best for him maybe Dani needs to think for himself now to up his game. I do however agree partialy with Puig when he says that "the series is worth nothing without Valentino Rossi" maybe nothing is to strong but Moto gp will sustain a big hit in popularity and income when he goes.

LV= Cup: Scarlets hold off Newport Gwent Dragons
Last Updated: 08/11/13 10:21pm
Rob McCusker: crucial score for Scarlets
A strong second half from the Scarlets was enough to see off Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons 21-13 in an LV Cup derby at Parc y Scarlets.
Tries from skipper Rob McCusker and rookie wing Chris Knight in the space of five minutes in the final quarter proved decisive in a closely-fought contest.
Dragons outside-half Kris Burton did get a try back but it was too late for the visitors.
Both sides fielded mixed sides. Dragons coach Lyn Jones made 13 changes and gave 17-year-old lock Joe Davies is first-team debut.
The Scarlets also gave a first start to wing Chris Knight, but rested forwards with Phil John, Josh Turnbull, George Earle, Jake Ball and Samson Lee.
The Scarlets responded with a break from openside flanker Dan Thomas, who broke into the 22 and from the subsequent line-out the home side won a penalty.
Fly-half Aled Davies kicked that from the 22 to give the Scarlets a 3-0 lead on nine minutes.
Burton's wayward start continued as he missed a 40 metre penalty attempt on 16 minutes.
It was a missed opportunity as three minutes later Davies doubled his side's lead with a penalty in front of the posts after the Dragons had been caught offside.
The Scarlets looked as if they would increase that lead but were penalised as they tried to set up a drive towards the line.
Burton also missed a second penalty attempt on the half-hour mark - his kick falling well short of the target.
Burton's wayward evening seemed to rub off on Davies, who missed with his third and fourth penalty shots of the half.
After trailing 6-0 at the break Dragons went through some good phase play at the start of the second half and earned a penalty from a scrum. It saw Burton break his duck with his attempt from the 22.
The Dragons made good progress into Scarlets' 22 only to be penalised for holding on.
On 57 minutes English referee Matthew Carley showed a yellow card to Dragons flanker Scott Matthews for killing ball inside his 22. That immediately had a telling effect on the game.
With the extra man Scarlets scored two tries in five minutes. On the hour mark they scored in the right corner through Knight, whose run down the right created a score for McCusker.
But Scarlets' delight was short-lived as Burton went over under the posts with 11 minutes remaining and Rhys Jones added a penalty to reduce the deficit to five points.
That was before Josh Lewis kicked a penalty five minutes from time, although the Scarlets did have Gareth Maule sent to the sin bin before the end.

The Ibori affair
The former governor of Delta State James Ibori has finally pleaded guilty to the charge of money laundering. His wife, his concubine, and his lawyer are already serving five years term in prison for money laundering and corruption. They were found guilty of money laundering and embezzlement to the tune of 70million pounds. Mr James Ibori himself has been found guilty of laundering 250million pounds. The British dropped the charge of corruption because of the technical problem of proving it. They, in any case found it unnecessary because everybody knows that there was no way Ibori could have amassed such a huge fortune without corruption, especially when he had no job except for being governor of his state in Nigeria. The judge was so incensed that he called him "a thief in government house". Ibori's handlers have now issued a press release saying that their man was not convicted for corruption, but for money laundering, as if the two offenses are not two sides of a common coin.
The media in England and in Nigeria have shown pictures of the various mansions Ibori purchased like a drunken sailor who had no respect for money and who had so much of it that he didn't know what to do with it. Instead of keeping quiet and remorseful, he is trying to pull wool over the eyes of Nigerians by claiming that he did not plead guilty to corruption, but only to money laundering. The Ibori case is a sad story for Nigeria. The British pointed out that the man was jailed in London in 1990 for credit card fraud. They also alluded to the fact that the same man was jailed in Abuja for fraud. The area judge who sentenced him in Abuja identified him as the man he jailed, but somehow, the higher courts in Nigeria allowed Ibori to pass through the eyes of the needle and to contest election for governor of Delta State. After he left office, the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) dragged him to court for corruption first in Kaduna, but his lawyers insisted he must be tried in Asaba. Predictably, the judge in Asaba freed him of the 170 corruption counts that were levelled against him. As if this was not bad enough, his commissioner for finance who was apparently instrumental to some of this sordid deeds found his way to the inner sanctum of the Umaru Yar'Adua's administration as Principal Secretary to the president.
The whole scenario is so sad that it makes nonsense of the lives of the hardworking and honest Nigerians. It would have been okay if our country was populated by unthinking imbeciles rather than by sentient human beings who know right from wrong and evil from good. By simple arithmetic, counting the 250million pounds laundered by Ibori and the 70million pounds stolen by his wife, concubine and lawyer, we have 320million pounds; which is over half a billion dollars. I tried to use my calculator to find the equivalent of this amount in naira; my calculator could not handle the number of digits.
Imagine what these huge amounts of money could have done in the lives of the people of Delta State. Here is a state where water and electricity are not available for ordinary people and where most survive on less than two dollars a day; and where there is armed brigandage and kidnapping as a result of poverty.
Unfortunately, Ibori could not have been alone. Some of his confederates are probably still in government and trying to beat his record of looting the treasury in the unfortunate state. This kind of corruption is not limited to Delta State alone; it seems to be a general problem all over our country. The new governor of Bayelsa state, Mr. Seriake Dickson, loudly exclaimed that his predecessor in office was paying six billion naira every month as salaries to civil servants. In a state that is not up to two million people, that is, adults and children. The only way that state could have been paying such a huge amount as salary, would be that every citizen of the state was being paid a salary. If that's the case, we would need to congratulate Bayelsa State. But it is obvious that this was not the situation. It was a case of rampant corruption gone crazy!
The states in the Delta have to be very careful not to give the impression that governments there are very venal and that leaders there are irresponsible and are only committed to looting of the local exchequer. This is why some critics are saying that the money being given to the oil producing states is beyond absorptive capacity and perhaps this money should be put in savings for citizens of those states against a rainy future, rather than being given to the present crop of leaders who seemed determined to ruin themselves and the states they govern. Many of these leaders to me are sick, because if one was not sick, one would not have stolen 250 million pounds; and one would not have transferred these huge resources to a country whose standard of living is light years ahead of that of the looter.
Finally, we may yet in this country adopt the measure proposed by the late Professor Adeoye Lambo, Deputy Director-General of WHO (World Health Organisation) and a world class psychiatrist that our leaders need to be examined to find out if they are sane or not. From the Ibori case, it is obvious that many of our people are mentally sick and deranged.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
Two people who died at a San Francisco nursing home on Monday night appear to have been victims of a murder-suicide; they were mother and daughter, though few other details have yet been released. A police officer and "self-confessed gun nut" in Dallas extolled the qualities of his new shotgun in a video posted online a few days before using it to kill his wife and then himself last week. It's reported that his jealousy was stoked by her Facebook socializing. The lack of evident motive makes even more horrific the scene in a Chicago suburb, also last week. After killing his parents and his 5 year old nephew, a man set the house on fire, then shot himself.
These events all occurred during the short time it took me to read The Perversion of Virtue: Understanding Murder-Suicide by Thomas Joiner, a professor of psychology at Florida State University, just published by Oxford University Press. The author estimates that around 2 percent of suicides in the United States are accompanied by the murder of at least one other person. It averages out to slightly more than two murder-suicides per day.
Nearly 90 percent of "ordinary" murders are committed by men, who also make up most (at least 75 percent) of the body count. With murder-suicide, the figures are significantly different: the perpetrators are male more than 90 percent of time, while 75 percent of the victims are female. "Both murder per se and suicide per se involve firearms between 55 percent and 70 percent of the time," the author indicates. "The rate in murder-suicide is considerably higher, with some studies returning rates approaching 100 percent."
But there is the very rare exception, such as the man who killed his wife with an injection cyanide before swallowing some himself. In this case, it was a matter of convenience: "He was a jeweler, and jewelers frequently use cyanide for their wares." Firearms and poison alike can be used in both stages of murder-suicide, while the man who killed his wife and son with a baseball bat three years ago couldn't exactly turn the weapon back on himself. Yet he "did nevertheless arrange that he be bludgeoned to death," Joyner writes; "he placed himself in front of an oncoming passenger train."
An article about the apparent murder-suicide of a man and woman in Cleveland last month reported: "Police have not said which of the two victims they believe was murdered. They also have not revealed why they believe the deaths are the result of a murder-suicide." I have not been able to find more recent news about the case, but Joiner's book makes a confident guess possible on both points.
The author is a prominent specialist in the study of suicidal behavior, and his goal in The Perversion of Virtue is to create "a comprehensive yet parsimonious typology" for what he calls "true murder-suicide." He excludes cases in which a murderer commits suicide to avoid punishment after the attempt to escape has failed, or still rarer instances of the suicide causing someone else's death by accident (say, a pedestrian killed by a building-jumper). In murder-suicide proper, the perpetrator's decision to kill himself is the primary factor. All else follows from it, through a morbid logic in which the thought of the victim(s) continuing to live is "the final barrier to suicide ... in the perpetrator's mind." The resolution to kill himself "necessitates, through an appeal to virtue, the death of at least one other person."
Virtue seems a peculiar word to find in this context, but it is the key to the book's four-compartment typology, defined by the venerable higher goods of mercy, justice, duty, and glory. The perpetrator of murder-suicide considers the death of the other(s) as required by at least one, and possibly two, of the four virtues. The act entails "a perverted and horribly distorted version of [virtue] to be sure," say Joiner, who also indicates that that the decision is always a product of mental illness. From the perspective of anyone but the killer, a murder-suicide compelled by the demands of justice is simply a matter of revenge: the abusive parent or the ex-spouse's infidelity damaged the suicidal person so badly that life is unbearable, but even more unbearable is the idea of them getting away with it.
Conversely, the murder may be committed as an act of violent mercy: a way to spare the victim (or victims) suffering in the wake of the suicide, as when parents in a suicide pact also kill their children. Not altogether distinct from such mercy killings are cases in which the perpetrator feels responsible for a severely ill or otherwise incapacitated person, so that killing them is a duty to be performed before committing suicide.
Finally, and the hardest of the four to regard with sympathy, is murder-suicide as a quest for glory. The primary example Joiner considers is the Columbine killers, who hoped to exceed Timothy McVeigh's death toll, and might have, had their bombs worked. The carnage of Jonestown and Heaven's Gate might also be relevant examples of murder-suicide pursued in the interest of their leaders' heroic self-concept, which to anyone else just looks like grandiosity. Orchestrating mass death was as close to glory as they ever got.
Parsimony, too, is a virtue, though more of the intellectual than moral variety. Having narrowed the scope of the term "murder-suicide," with stress on the suicidal impulse as its driving force, Joiner takes an inductive leap by suggesting a four-part typology of the rationales perpetrators create for their violent actions. Near the end of the book, he points out that the virtues of mercy, justice, duty, and glory can be further reduced to two categories: "one, combining mercy and duty, in which feelings of care and empathy for others are high (if distorting) and another, combining justice and glory, in which callousness and carelessness predominate." But he stops short of pushing any further toward schematism. And a good thing too. Like any virtue, parsimony gone wrong becomes a vice.
Just what value does the taxonomy itself have? Joiner suggests that it could be useful in talking to patients considered potentially violent. People with plans for suicide can be extremely reticent to reveal much about themselves, but a carefully delivered question about some aspect of the four virtues might be useful in assessing their state of mind.
For the lay reader, there's a certain relief at learning some kind of order or intelligibility can be found amidst all the mayhem. If, in addition, the book prevents even one more horror of the kind it describes, it will have served its purpose.
In one of those cases where satire cannot trump cold hard fact, the power brokers and heavy thinkers who gathered at an Alpine resort in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum last month expressed great concern about the danger that growing inequality poses to social stability everywhere. As well they might.
Strictly speaking, "widening income disparities" was only one of 10 issues flagged by the Forum's Outlook on the Global Agenda 2014 report, along with "a lack of values in leadership" and "the rapid spread of misinformation online." But a couple of concerns on the list -- "persistent structural unemployment" and "the diminishing confidence in economic policies" -- were variations on the same theme. Two or three other topics were related to income disparity only a little less directly
In case you didn't make it to Davos last month (my invitation evidently got lost in the mail this year ... as it has every year, come to think of it), another gathering this summer will cover much of the same ground. The 18th World Congress of the International Sociological Association -- meeting in Yokohama, Japan, in mid-July -- has as its theme "Facing an Unequal World: Challenges for Global Sociology." The scheduling of their events notwithstanding, it was the sociologists who were really farsighted about the issue of growing inequality, not the "Davos men." The ISA announced the theme for its congress as early as December 2010.
And the conversation in Japan is sure to be more focused and substantive. A lot of business networking goes on during the World Economic Forum. By some accounts, the topic of inequality figured more prominently in the news releases than in actual discussions among participants. It's almost as if all of Bono's efforts at Davos were for nought.
Available a solid six months before the sociologists put their heads together in Yokohama, Goran Therborn's The Killing Fields of Inequality (Polity) ought to steer the public's thinking into deeper waters than anything that can be reached with a reductive notion like "widening income disparities." Money provides one measure of inequality, but so do biomedical statistics, which record what Therborn, a professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Cambridge, calls "vital inequality." (Income disparities fall under the heading of "resource inequalities," along with disparities in access to nutrition, education, and other necessities of life.)
A third, less quantifiable matter is "existential inequality," which Therborn defines as "the unequal allocation of personhood, i.e., of autonomy, dignity, degrees of freedom, and of rights to respect and self-development." A big-tent concept of Therborn's own making, existential inequality covers the limitations and humiliations imposed by racism, sexism, and homophobia but also the experience of "people with handicaps and disabilities or just the indigent overlorded by poorhouse wardens or condescending socio-medical powerholders," among others.
While analytically distinct, the three forms of inequality tend to be mutually reinforcing, often in perfectly understandable but no less miserable ways: "Nationwide U.S. surveys of the last decade show that the lower the income of their parents, the worse is the health of the children, whether measured in overall health assessment, limitations on activity, school absence for illness, emergency ward visits, or hospital days."
The differences in health between the offspring of well-off and low-income parents "have been measured from the child's age of two, and the differentials then grow with age." A study of mortality rates among men in Central and East European countries shows a pattern of higher education corresponding to a longer life; men with only a primary education not only died earlier but were more prone to longstanding illnesses. (The patterns among women were comparable "but differentials are smaller, less than half the male average.")
Such inequalities within countries look small compared to those between countries, of course -- and Therborn piles up the examples of so many varieties of inequality from such diverse places that it becomes, after a while, either numbing or unbearable. Generalization is hazardous, but the pattern seems to be that a considerable variety of inequalities, both inter- and intranational, has sharpened over the past 30 years or so. Not even the author's own country of origin, Sweden -- so long the promised land for social democrats -- has been spared. Therborn's study of income developments in the Stockholm Metropolitan area between 1991 and 2010 showed that "the less affluent 80 percent of the population saw their income share decline, while the most prosperous 10 percent had their share augmented from 25 to 32 percent."
Furthermore, the share of the income that top tenth earned from playing the Stockholm Stock Exchange grew 282 percent over the same period. In Sweden as elsewhere, "the top side of intra-national inequality is driven primarily by capital expansion and concentration, and that at the bottom by (politically alterable) policies to keep the poor down and softened up to accept anything."
It seems unlikely that the CEOs, financiers, and politicians at Davos ever had it put to them quite like that. But Therborn seems equally unhappy with his own discipline, which he thinks has somehow managed to dodge thinking about inequality as such.
"Among the fifty odd Research Committees of the International Sociological Association," he writes, "there is not one focused on inequality." The closest approximation is the one on "Social Stratification," which he says "has mainly been interested in intergenerational social mobility."
That mobility having been, for the most part, upwards. But the distance from the bottom of society to its top verges ever more on the dystopian. In a rare flourish, Therborn invokes the alternative: "the positive lure of enlightened societies governed by rational and inclusive deliberation, where nobody is outcast or humiliated, and where everybody has a chance to develop his/her abilities."
To reach it, or even to move in that direction, implies a battle. "Nobody knows how it will end," he concludes. "Which side will you be on?"
I don't think he's asking just the people who will be there in Yokohama this summer.
Patti Adler will stay on at U. of Colorado, but blasts the way the university questioned a class lesson on prostitutes.
A new survey of sociology departments from the American Sociological Society shows few changes to department size spanning last decade, which isn't great, but isn't bad, either.
The administration at U of All People is nothing if not financially expeditious (some faculty have put it another way, not printable in this periodical). Jacking up students' expenses is unpopular, for instance, but extracting extra tuition money can be accomplished in subtle ways. Starting a few decades ago, U of All People set the minimum credit hours for graduation two courses over a full course load every semester. That way, students had to take extra classes, often during the summer. This concept was shamelessly copied by other schools.
In fact, the short-term courses were a hit, since the workload was lighter, and the school could get the same amount of money in less time. Then one day, the Dean of Others' Affairs had a bright idea: if students were willing to sign up for an eight-week or even a four-week course, why not offer a three-week course? Thus was born Wintersession and Maymester, a concept that other schools shamelessly copied.
Now that earnings are flat in this economic climate, the innovative folks in Long Hall have come up with a new plan, Pack-It-In Pedagogy, a term invented yesterday by our newly appointed Time Management Expert. To expedite the plan, each department has been tasked to come up with at least one course offering. Eventually, we expect other schools to shamelessly copy the concept. Meanwhile, below are just a few classes to maximize student learning while also boosting revenues.
WinterInterSplinterSession: Three Days That Can Change Your Life
English 1.25: Shakespeare: The Play. Students read Hamlet one day, see the film the next day, and take the final exam on the third day. "The key is to be representative," says Professor Bowdler. "To expose these students to a great work — isn't that enough?"
What Are You Doing This Weekend?: Special Two-Day Courses
Chem Lab 9.5, in which students carry out one experiment. "It'll be a reaction that gets to the heart of what chemistry is all about," says Professor Boom. "Bunsen burners, Erlenmeyer flasks, yellow and red powder — the works!"
History 10.5: Daily Life in Ancient Rome. Students eat bread one day and attend a circus the next. Instructor: TBA.
Give Us a Day, and We'll Give You a Grade: One-Day Workshops
Geology 1.1, where students split open and examine one basalt rock. "The universe in a grain of sand," is how Professor Geode puts it. "It's fascinating, what one can glean from a single work of nature."
Psychology 2.3 (online): the students each read a different chapter of the textbook on Blackboard and give their opinions of it in a discussion group. Together, by the end, they've gone through the entire book. No instructor; peer review.
60 Minutes: Hour-Long Intensives
Math 24.1. Students tackle one difficult equation. As Professor Quad, this year's winner of the Pretty Good Teacher Award, notes: "Why clog the syllabus with problem sets that just repeat? Less is more."
Spanish 0.2: Students learn three verbs and two nouns, then use them in conversation. Access to language lab included. Independent study. Monitor: TBA.
Astronomy 0.6, in which students creep outside to look at the stars. In case of clouds, students will draw zodiac pictures for a portfolio. "The sky's the limit!" — Professor Centauri
Phys. Ed. 1.23: Really tough Zumba class; warm-up not included. Staff.
Art History 8.3 (hybrid): Students receive a PowerPoint lecture on various paintings and then compare them to other paintings online. "Put some art in your life!" says Professor Sfumato.
MOOCs in a Minute
Videotaped lectures are run at eight times the normal speed. In advanced classes, the speed jumps to 16x.
The U of All People administration is delighted with our proposals and is moving ahead with all possible dispatch. All we need now is a slogan for advertising these new courses.
"Got time for a quickie?" is the current favorite, but without the suggestive accompanying graphic.
David Galef directs the creative writing program at Montclair State University. His latest book is the short story collection My Date With Neanderthal Woman (Dzanc Books).
American Sociological Association tries to figure out the gender choices members should get to categorize themselves -- and the process is far from simple.
The market for new Ph.D.s is on the upswing, although specialties don't always match what search committees are looking for.
Departments are offering online courses and making use of new tools for teaching, survey finds.
Are only 10 percent of students finishing courses? It depends on how you count.
The study of bicycles -- which once existed only in the context of transportation planning and engineering -- is emerging in classes in many disciplines devoted to the two-wheeled vehicles.

AP Top News at 10:14 p.m. EDT
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Friday: 1. PASSENGER JET SHOT DOWN OVER UKRAINE
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) � The heavy thud of tank shells, often just seconds apart, echoed across the Gaza Strip early Friday as thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground invasion, escalating a 10-day campaign of heavy air bombardments to try to destroy Hamas' rocket-firing abilities and the tunnels militants use to infiltrate Israel. Flares lit up the night sky before dawn and the wail of ambulance sirens mixed with the Muslim call to prayer from mosque loudspeakers as thick smoke rose into the air from sites where shells and missiles struck.
WASHINGTON (AP) � American intelligence authorities believe a surface-to-air missile took down a passenger jet in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, a U.S. official said, but the Obama administration was still scrambling to confirm who launched the strike and whether there were American citizens killed in the crash. Vice President Joe Biden said the incident was "not an accident" and described the Malaysia Airlines plane as having been "blown out of the sky."
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) � The Malaysia Airlines jetliner that went down in war-torn Ukraine did not make any distress call, Malaysia's prime minister said Friday, adding that its flight route had been declared safe by the global civil aviation body. Najib Razak, who addressed a middle-of-the-night news conference after speaking with leaders of Ukraine and the Netherlands, and to President Barack Obama, said "no stone will be left unturned" in finding out what happened to Flight 17 and the 298 people on board.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) � Afghanistan's election commission began auditing ballots Thursday following a U.S.-brokered deal between the two presidential contenders while a brazen attack on the Kabul airport underscored the dangers the country still faces in its troubled democracy. The pre-dawn rocket attack on Kabul International Airport temporarily shut down the facility and set off a gunbattle with security forces in which four attackers were killed, officials said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) � Microsoft announced the biggest layoffs in its 39-year history Thursday, outlining plans to cut 18,000 jobs in a move that marked the CEO's sharpest pivot yet away from his predecessor's drive for the company to make its own devices. Although some cuts had been expected ever since Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile-device unit, the number amounted to 14 percent of the Microsoft workforce � about twice what analysts had estimated.
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) � Misty Holt-Singh had just popped into the bank, leaving her 12-year-old daughter in the car, when the horror began. An hour later, the mother of two lay dead after a bank robbery and planned hostage-taking spun into a chaotic police chase and furious gunbattle during which two holdup men were killed, authorities said. Holt-Singh was found dead at the end of a shootout in which one of the robbers who took her hostage used her as a human shield, according to police.
ZAMORA, Mexico (AP) � About 500 people marched through this western Mexico city Thursday in support of the embattled but highly regarded founder of a shelter raided amid allegations of sexual and physical abuse and filthy living conditions. Shelter founder Rosa del Carmen Verduzco, known as "Mama Rosa," had been taking in children for about 65 years and drew support from the government, philanthropists and intellectuals for her "Gran Familia" group home.

LOVEJOY Nathan Tran tightly clutched a bag filled with dozens of plastic eggs as he walked across an activity field at the Gerald Matthews Soccer Complex Saturday.
The colorful cornucopia of eggs — each with a different prize inside — were the 7-year-old Jonesboro resident's haul from the county's annual Easter Egg Hunt.
With one hand, Tran held the bag shut so none of his collection would fall out. He used his other hand to keep the bag close to his heart, so no one could take it from him.
"My hands are tired," he said as he examined his gatherings.
More than 100 children from the county came out to participate in the egg hunt, which was moved to Lovejoy this year to co-incide with the opening of the South Clayton Recreation Center located next to the soccer complex.
There were two hunts. One was for smaller children and another was done for older children. In many cases, older children who had younger siblings participated in both hunts.
Many children carried away large buckets filled with eggs.
"I just like getting all of the eggs," said Lovejoy youth Hugo Calderon, 8.

When I think about pudding cakes, I picture a dessert that forms a pudding-like sauce at the bottom of the pan during baking. Chocolate pudding cake and lemon pudding cake are to of my very favorite recipes of this type. Throw some fruit into the mix and you have something that is a little closer to a cobbler than to one of those pudding cake ... Read More »
Blackberry Cranberry Sauce Cobbler
Cranberry sauce can be a great addition to a cobbler or crisp recipe. The basic cranberry sauce recipe calls for whole berries and sugar, which are also the two main ingredients in most fruit cobbler recipes (although you can use fruits besides berries, of course!). The cranberry sauce is already cooked, so it isn't necessarily a great choice on its own to serve as the ... Read More »
Blueberry Apple Crisp
In spite of the fact that I love to have apple pie around the 4th of July, I find that I often think of apple desserts as fall desserts. This is probably because there are far fewer fresh fruits to choose from at the end of the year when you compare the season with spring, when you have a plethora of in-season berries and stone ...

i'm trying to understand the way i feel energy, emotional energy, spiritual energy, natural energy.. truly, i don't know what kind of energy to call it. mine. my energy. and how it is so sensitive to environment. the energies in all environments, and how different places and the spaces in them affect my peace, emotions, thought clarity, anxiety levels. and the mother's energy, the energy of wind, trees, dirt mulching itself out of organic decay, water touching rocks to the sea, the sea, the waves rolling pebbles into the giant mouth of the ocean. the energy where i am now is too chattered, shattered.
i miss my montana friends. i can't connect to myself in this space, but i will share with you my recent adventures. the first half of our trip i spent with musicians. good shield aguilar has worked with the bfc for years - his aunt is a lakota woman who helped found the bfc. he's the sweetest sexiest native man i've ever met, sigh. also a consummate and good musician. and he has cool friends, two of whom happened to visit while i was there. one is native mohawk singerlawrence laughing, and the other is native american flute player extraordinaire mignon geli. then there was demmi who is young and growing into a very cool person of her own making. the five of us hung out, with them all playing music and me dancing. it was most excellent. they (minus demmi) also played a beautiful living room set for everyone. then they all left me on the same day, all four of my friends. it was after they left that i moved into the tipi and went into hermit self reflection phase. unfortunately all this was a bit hard on my daughter, but she tried to be understanding. i don't often get the chance to hang out with people that make me feel me. i feel me with autumn, though we experience too many rocks. only, i rarely get to see her too, and when i do, my kids are happy being with her kids. i suppose there are a few different sides of myself where i am comfortable, but i felt better there than i've felt elsewhere, save when we go camping.
speaking of which, summer is upon us!!!! i am so excited to get my kids and abandon residence. i want to camp at baker lake again, of course; we go there every summer. it's so easy to camp there. we can be packed and on the road to baker lake within an hour and the drive is just over an hour too. once there, we can easily disappear into the wilderness, plus easy clean swimming, lots of dirt and green and air, lack of white noise. and i want to go back to the makah reservation to the most beautiful beach i've ever been to. save perhaps a secluded spot in the caribbean. i've applied for a job that would restrict our summer activities. it pays well enough, which is rare, and i'm completely qualified for it. i kind of hope i don't hear from them as i despise the thought of giving up our free time summer. it would mean moving back to west seattle, which is great, but it would also mean living the usual life, though still on the edges, which is so-so. what i really want is to move to montana, become a permanent hippy type person, close to the earth in spaces where there is more nature than concrete, in spaces with people who don't live according to the prescribed economy. i'm working on that resume too, but there are no current openings for what i really want.
i went into the (can't escape from airplane and lawn mower noise) forest today. i travelled into spaces i've never been, tried, unsuccessfully, to get adequately lost. i laid some cards there. i wish i could show you, but unfortunately my camera and babyshark 4 (in case you are newly reading, babyshark is the name of my laptops) refuse to communicate. i came up over and over as the daughter of fire. i was using a native american based tarot deck. daughter of fire corresponds to page/princess of wands, the child of the spiritual realm.
picked up a microsoft job today, and am in the middle of a lucrative editing job. yoshe.

Voormi Access Pullover
The Access Pullover is a sharp-looking merino wool mid-layer that is perfect for being active on cooler days. Unfortunately, after testing two of these pullovers, this tester has found the quality to be substandard, developing holes in the seams after only a few washes. This con strongly negates any recommendation to spend $200 on this garment. Let me start by saying, I wanted to love this shirt. It arrived on a hot July day, and I immediately began wishing for cold weather to wear it in. So I stowed… Full review
Ripperkon-Wolf Bolero
This is the new generation of tactical shirts. With the big biceps pockets very good for outdoor and tactical stuff. The biggest feature is that you only need one bolero and you can use it with any clothing. Watch my review and see this fantastic idea. Have fun. Watch my review here: Full review
Asics FujiTrail Hoodie
Great mid layer for high aerobic activities. Great coverage and comfort, for the times that a fleece is too much, but a base layer alone is too little. The Asics Fuji Trail Hoodie, or Asics Fuji Hoody as they seem to call it in Europe, is a great mid layer. I often run hot and find no need for many of the otherwise very nice grid layers on the market, until it is around -10˚C. This hoody seems to fall between a thick base layer and a thin fleece. So perfect for running or otherwise high aerobic… Full review
Stoic Merino Comp Shirt - Long Sleeve
The Stoic Merino Comp Shirt is a comfortable shirt that wicks moisture extremely well. It keeps you warm or cool as needed. The fabric has the right amount of stretch, and it's machine washable. This has been my go-to shirt for snowshoeing over the past three winters. With a silkweight base layer underneath it and a wind and rain shell on top I'm comfortable snowshoeing in temps around -10°F because my sweat isn't making me cold. Wearing just this shirt while out hiking around a cedar swamp with… Full review
Icebreaker Sonic Short Sleeve Crewe
Lightweight merino wool. Soft, comfortable and no stink after days in the backcountry. The Icebreaker Sonic short sleeve shirt is soft to the touch, lightweight, and durable. There was no evidence of abrasion after wearing this shirt with a backpack for many miles. It was very breathable when exercising, I never felt like I was overheating. It dried quickly on the body and kept me comfortably warm as temperatures cooled. The shirt is well constructed, seams are finished well, and tags perforated… Full review
Sierra Designs Short Sleeve Pack Polo
I have hiked in hundreds of different shirts, baselayers, fishing shirts, sleeveless monstrosities, they all kind of work just fine. The Pack Polo is more than fine, it is AWESOME!! It stretches, it breathes, it layers, and it doesn't look ridiculous!! This shirt is ideal for the adventure traveler, hiker, backpacker, or bike commuter who wants something technical, yet presentable. While wearing a pack or while bumming around town, the Pack Polo fits comfortably in the arm pits and mid section,… Full review
Montane Shark Ultra Tee
The Montane Shark Ultra Tee is a most impressive garment! It fits well, it breathes very well, it remains virtually odor free, and it wears like iron. Although it was designed for trail running I highly recommend it, without reservation, for any athletic outdoor activity and particularly as a base layer. Features: The Montane Shark Ultra Tee is a garment designed for Mountain Running, Trail Running, and Mountain Marathons. It is made of a synthetic hyper stretch fabric that Montane calls Quartz… Full review
Salomon Men's Trail T
Very lightweight and well made shirt. I bought two of these in the medium size, which turned out to be a little too small in the chest and length. That would be my only critique. The shirts are very light, wick the sweat well, and are very comfortable. I highly recommend these shirts, just pick one size larger. Full review
ExOfficio Men's Sol Cool Crew Long Sleeve Shirt
I'm generally a huge fan of ExOfficio clothing, but maybe not this time. Perhaps I'm expecting too much, a shirt that can actually keep me cooler in East Texas summer heat, but that is what the mfg description claims. But under most summer conditions here, it ain't happenin'. Imagine my excitement when I read about this magic shirt that claims to not only protect the wearer from the sun's rays, but can actually keep you cooler in summer heat than std summer wear. I spend a fair amount of time… Full review

The other cuts are as follows: running back Jawan Jamison, wide receivers Skye Dawson, Nick Williams and Lance Lewis, tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi, offensive linemen Tevita Stevens and Xavier Nixon, defensive linemen Chigbo Anunoby, Dominique Hamilton and Ron Brace, linebacker Vic So'oto, cornerback Chase Minnifield and safety Dejon Gomes.
Minnifield is the son of former Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Frank Minnifield. The younger Minnifield was projected as a middle-round pick out of Virginia in 2012, but went undrafted before signing with Washington.
The report says the order for the running backs behind Morris are in this order: Helu, Evan Royster, Keiland Williams, Tristan Davis, Chris Thompson, Jawan Jamison. Morris is the unquestioned starter, and the rest are all battling for that backup/third-down back role.

When Lori Witt began pursuing a tubal ligation at age 27, she said physicians refused to even discuss it with her, telling her she was too young and might change her mind about having children.
For more than a year, Witt tried to get sterilized. Finally she went with her 28-year-old husband to a military medical clinic overseas, where Witt said he was given a vasectomy with few questions asked.
Decades after sterilization became broadly available to women in the U.S., some still have trouble obtaining one of the safest and most effective forms of birth control.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says nobody who seeks sterilization should be denied. But some women say the reality can be much different, especially for younger women and those without children.
In interviews and on Internet forums, women report facing resistance and flat-out refusal from health care providers as they seek permanent contraception. Along the way, they encounter sexist and paternalistic attitudes, such as the assumption that all women desire children or that they'll come to regret their decision.
"I've yet to come across a story of a woman without children who was granted sterilization on her first request," said Cristina Richie, a Massachusetts professor whose report on voluntary sterilization among child-free women was published by the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute.
Julie Palm of Colorado Springs, Colo., received a tubal ligation three years ago when she was 22, but not without a fight.
"When I met with my first OB-GYN, he seemed to struggle with the idea," Palm said. "He was uncomfortable with sterilizing someone so young ... but I refused to back down. He agreed with the point that it was my body."
In addition to the fear of regret, doctors who are reluctant to sterilize a young woman may have misgivings because of their own religious beliefs, concerns about insurance coverage or potential liability, and the fact that other effective forms of long-term birth control exist.
"I strongly discourage it under age 30 because I've seen so many people change their minds," said Dr. John Merling, a family medicine specialist in Wilmington, Ohio. "They come in and are absolutely sure they want it done."
About 13 percent of women who obtain a tubal ligation express regret within 14 years, according to the U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization, though the CREST study found rates to be higher among younger, poorer and less-educated women.
But for many women, the potential cost of an unplanned pregnancy — an unwanted child or an abortion — or side effects from other forms of birth control are risks that far outweigh the potential for regret.
"Regret is the competent woman's burden, not the doctor's," said Richie, an adjunct professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. "Very few providers of other permanent elective treatments like plastic surgery refuse treatment over fear of regret. Why should sterilization be any different?"
Physicians may fear doing something the patient might later view as detrimental, said Katie Watson, an assistant professor in the medical humanities and bioethics program at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "That's upsetting. No physician wants to feel like they've harmed a patient."
But Watson said the physician's focus should be ensuring that the patient receives adequate counseling beforehand. Informed consent also protects doctors from lawsuits, she said.
"Patients get to make the decisions because they are the ones who have to live with them," she said.
Doctors are significantly more likely to discourage a patient from undergoing surgical sterilization if she is younger, has fewer children and is not in full agreement with her husband, according to a national survey of women's physicians in the U.S. that was published in 2011 in the journal Human Reproduction. Nevertheless, nearly all the physicians said they would help the patient obtain the procedure if she persisted.
In a traditional tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes, which carry the eggs from the ovary to the womb, are burned, clipped, cut or tied to prevent sperm and egg from meeting. Another method, called Essure, involves implanting tiny coils that create a blockage inside the fallopian tubes.
Some doctors say they find that women often aren't aware of long-lasting but reversible alternatives to sterilization, noting that intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants are equally effective at preventing pregnancy and may even be safer.
"Many women see the benefits of closing the door forever so they don't have to think about it," said Dr. Nancy Stanwood, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Yale School of Medicine. "But we could do a better job of explaining alternatives. I've certainly had patients come, ready to convince me to do tubal. But when I tell them about alternatives they say, 'Wait, that sounds so much better!'"

Director Abhinay Deo, who is co-writing and co-producing the Indian version of the popular American TV show "24", says its shooting will begin Monday.
"Shooting for '24' will start from Monday. The team is very big, almost 70 to 80 people are working on the show," Deo said here Friday at an event organised for cancer patients.
"Within six months, we will complete the shoot and the show will go on air around July or August," he added.
Deo, who has helmed movies like "Game" and "Delhi Belly", will direct the key episodes of the show himself.
Actor Anil Kapoor, who featured in the US version of the show, and is responsible for bringing it to India, was also at the event.
Deo says Anil too will be seen in the desi "24", and that too in a "never-before-seen character".
"24" started in 2001 and ran till 2010, with a total of 192 episodes.
Anil featured in the eighth season of the show as Omar Hassan and in the desi version, the actor will play the iconic character of Jack Bauer, essayed by Kiefer Sutherland in the original.
