"A classic is born in this tender, intensely moving and even delightful journey through a white African girl's childhood." (Publishers Weekly)
"This was no ordinary childhood, and it makes a riveting story thanks to an extraordinary telling." (School Library Journal)
"In this powerful debut, Fuller fully succeeds in memorializing the beauty of each desert puddle and each African summer night sky while also recognizing that beauty can lie hidden in the faces of those who have crossed her path. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"An honest, moving portrait of one family struggling to survive tumultuous times." (Booklist)
I couldn't put this book down, and now finding it on tape is a delight. The narration is engaging and entertaining. The author writes in an almost muscical style, it's like listening to narrative poetry in parts. The richness of the language and detail is truly luscious. I am usually struck by how "thin" many modern novels read, like eating the most basic and bland meal, with no spice or flavor. This novel is like a feast, rich and robust, filled with a symphony of tastes, smells, sights, and sounds.

"A fabulous book, destined to be a classic"
This is a wonderful, "coming-of-age" story, a nonfiction story, that is destined to become a classic. Perhaps not a major classic (e.g., Jane Austin or James Joyce or F Scott Fitzgerald) but certainly a minor classic (JD Salinger, etc.). The story is episodic, sounds very true, characters painted well above the usual caricature level in the usual lower quality works. The verbal narration is really good too ... so good in fact that the book may come across better in audio form than as a book (sound effects, exclamations, singing & so forth are part of the text). I know that on Amazon & elsewhere this book has sometimes been criticized for "missing the black experience" in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe in the same period. Something that had to be equally, or more harrowing frankly. But the author can't be faulted for writing about her own experience, can she?
"Moving echos from history"
This is a wonderful book. Touching and tragic covering a pivotal point in Rhodesia?s history. It tracks the life of a white family trying to cling on in Africa. They defended themselves from armed insurgents (terrorists or freedom fighters depending on your viewpoint) in a typically British way.
What gives it its power is that it is viewed through the eyes of a young girl with one foot in the colonial past and one in the future, whatever that was to become. Her powerlessness to control events but being forced to watch sums up much of the fate of Southern Africa and it?s people. There are also plenty of poignant moments where her life reaches out across the racial divide showing that everyone involved in those turbulent times were just human beings trying to survive.
Having been born in Rhodesia I am emotionally involved but nevertheless would recommend this title for its honest portrayal of a small part of this now forgotten conflict.
Reviews written by Judy and Judy's husband Richard Davies
"Wonderful memoir of a childhood in Africa"
Thanks to Lisette Lecat's spirited narration, this is a book that may well be better listened to than read in hard copy. Fuller remembers the richest of childhoods, led during a time of struggle and war in Rhodesia - now Zimbabwe, and later in Malawi and Zambia. Her mother could be dismissed as a bitter, depressed racist, and a drunk. But no! this woman was Alexandra Fuller's mum. And she has an intense of love of family. The book is timely touching and funny: truly out of Africa. Beautifully written and told with wit and wisdom. Spend some time with this one.
"Superb, writer and narrator"
This is a gorgeous, sad, hilarious, very moving memoir. Fuller's parents are amazing people, and their situation is Africa is beyond imagining. Then add in Lisette Lecat and you will not be able to stop listening. This narrator is extraordinary. I generally avoid all but the authors reading their own books, but in this case I have to say I can scarely imagine even the author improving up Lecat. She must be South African, right? I mean, she has the voices & accents just pitch perfect. This is a great read. Oh, sure, it culminates in the narrator's wedding, which reminds you of just how young this writer still is. But give it to her. She's a remarkable writer--her restraint as impressive as her descriptive powers.
"This is similar to my life"
I was born in Papua New Guinea in early 1970's to a Papua New Guinean mother and Scottish father. I could relate to alot of the issues and some incidents in the story - the racism, the colonist attitudes, hurt parents and the richness of the country.
I got a good sense of Africa (and I havn't been there).
Really liked the story. Olivia died by accident, it wasn't anyones fault.
"A Rare Glimpse.....WELL DONE!"
I agree with previous reviews....this is a brilliant,rare gem of a book. Having lived some years in Southern Africa....it brought back the feel Rhodesia/Zimbabwe....truly a rare glimpse into a world unknown to most of us.
The reader IS EXCEPTIONAL! This is one of those books that is BETTER in AUDIO...due to the narration. She has the accent's down pat!
Get it....your world view and heart will be the fuller for it!
I'm going from chapter to chapter in life. Some are definitely better than others!
"Loved the Narration"
This is a good book for anyone with an interest in African modern history.
Lisette Lecat has done marvelous readings for Alexander McCall's 'The Lady's First Detective' series. Her performance in 'Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight' certainly is a plus.
The story line rather rambled at times, and at other times was gripping. I did learn more about what it was like to live in Rhodesia, as the country became Zimbabwe.
"Difficult, but worthwhile"
To begin with, this was a fascinating book. The author (who must now be in her 30s) grew up in several countries in Africa.
Her (white) parents, who were unashamedly racist, moved the family from one country to another when the white ruling classes were overthrown.
The author ("Bobo") describes the ordinariness of training children to apply tourniquets, bandage war wounds and insert and monitor IV fluids, all skills that were needed in the wars against various freedom fighters. In addition, Bobo talks about life with her severely alcoholic, bipolar, animal-loving and native-despising mother, her perenially unsuccessful father and her beautiful older sister.
The first part of the book, which concerns her young childhood, was very sad, but the second half, which describes the great beauty of Africa, and Bobo's experiences in non-segregated society, is fascinating and filled with her obvious love for the continent.
It wasn't an easy listen, but it was a truly illuminating one.
"So different and honest"
Fuller's biography about growing up as a white African during the 70s and 80s in each African country ruled/formerly ruled by the British is fascinating. She doesn't gloss over her own rough behavior or warts of her family. Their living experience is really interesting as it was totally different than growing up in the US during the same period.
"Fantastic tale of a life spent in Africa"
Exceeded expectations and perfect narration almost felt like I was there with the family
Highly recommended for anyone else who found Africa a spiritual place to visit

Recap: Michael Del Zotto On Hockey Central
Michael Del Zotto joined Darren Millard, Nick Kypreos and Doug MacLean on Sportsnet's Hockey Central today.
Del Zotto, who joined the Lakers of Switzerland today made these comments:
- Del Zotto says that the costumes that the gang are wearing are a little "aggressive" (Pictures below)
- Del Zotto confirms that he is going to Europe and says "it kind of came about quickly. I asked my agency to see what was available. It was depressing to stay here and skate and work out by myself. I'm 22 and I still want to develop. It doesn't look like anything is going to get done."
- On going to Europe, Del Zotto said that he talked to Tyler Seguin who said that he loved it and that all the players enjoy the life experience of being over there.
- Del Zotto says that he isn't pulling in "huge dollars" but is just trying to make the best of the situation
- He says that he waited out the situation because he has no contract but it's gotten to the point where he needs to play. He says that the players are waiting to negotiate but the owners aren't a willing partner.
- On not getting signed, DZ signed that it's a business and you can't hold grudges against anyone.
- He said that he was looking forward to this year and keep improving and to build off last season and he set himself up to peak when training camp starts and he is now excited to play and keep developing. He calls this his "next step."
- Del Zotto said that he has spoken a lot with Jason Spezza, his new teammate, and he is looking forward to doing some damage over there.
- Del Zotto went out on Halloween as a "sexy sailor" and then he and a friend went as characters from Semi-Pro.
MacLean and Kypreos "He is an important component for the Rangers moving forward. The Rangers made it abundantly clear that they weren't moving Michael Del Zotto."

In addition to the homepage -- which now also includes a column dedicated to the latest full-length uploads -- there is a page dedicated to each of the categories on offer, which range from Comedy to Soaps to Nature programming.
So whether you're looking for a specific show, want to see what was on TV last night or simply fancy watching a certain type of programme, the TV Shows section has been designed to give you as many options as possible.
This redesign is just a starting point for TV Shows, which you can navigate to directly from the YouTube UK homepage by clicking on the 'TV Shows' tab. Over the coming weeks we will be monitoring how you use the pages and will look to optimise the way they flow in response.
Happy viewing -- and have fun,

|Two Hurt, DWI Charged in Pre-dawn Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 22 April 2013 15:23
Just after 3:15 this morning, Watauga Medics, Deep Gap Fire, Watauga Rescue all were sent to US 421 just east of the Blue Ridge Parkway Bridge for a call of a two-vehicle head-on crash, said initially to involved five persons injured. First units on the scene found that actually passengers in each vehicle were hurt,
and most emergency units were turned back. Trooper Collier said that the crash occurred as 32-year old Joseph Derek Eller of Crumpler came well across the center line, his 2000 Ford Taurus slamming into the front of Kernersville resident Roy Everett Nibert's Chrysler van, both coming to rest in the north-bound lanes. One of Eller's two passengers, 33-year old Crystal McMickle of Sparta suffered chest and other injuries, while Nibert's wife, Kay, was also hurt. Trooper Collier charged Joseph Derek Eller with Failure to Maintain Lane Control, Left of Center, and Driving While Impaired in the crash near Orchard Road, and said both vehicles were heavily damaged--possibly totaled in the early morning crash.

Sharing Memories (Week 23): Remembering Mother
Soon it will be Mother's Day so it seemed appropriate that this week's topic would be Rembrances of Mother. My own mother passed away January 2009 so I'm going to write about the stories she told me of her childhood, and about her as a person. I'm definitely going to focus on her love of travel and adventure!
Mother began travelling at age 80, treating herself on her 80th birthday to the first of several trips to Australia. She took only enough clothes to fit into a pink Barbie backpack and off she went. She desperately wanted a balloon ride for her 80th birthday but had to settle for a helicopter ride instead. I'd set mother up on the Internet a few years prior, and she arranged to meet many of her online buddies while in Australia. Mother was petite, about 5'2" and always told others that she was "smurfing" the 'net. She never did get it straight.
Over the next 8 years mother took trips to Russia, China, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, S. Africa and of course Australia (her favourite). She also travelled to England dozens of times but never considered that a "real trip". For her, the big trips which she took once a year, were to countries she'd never dreamed she would ever get to.
Her last "big trip" was back to Australia. She was 88 years old and decided she wanted to hike through the Australian outback. So she arranged to go with a group on a safari camping and hiking trip. Most of the hikers were in their 30s or younger. Not wanting to do that trip alone, she convinced her younger sister, age 81, to go with her. The leader warned the sisters that they had to pitch their own tent every night and take it down every morning. Mother in her usual way, simply shrugged her shoulders and stated she could do it on her own if need be.
As it turned out, putting up the tent was the one thing they could not do. Both being so short they couldn't reach high enough to get the pole up and under the tent top. So luckily others on the trip helped them every night. Mother came back from that trip slightly discouraged that she'd needed help. She was very proud of her ability to keep up with others no matter what their age.
If you are lucky enough to still have your mother in your life, you could write about what she means to you, what she's like as a person, stories she has told you, etc. Have fun with this week's Sharing Memories; I think it will be a very long series of journal writing for me personally

Awesome! She is the type of person I aspire to be. Thanks for sharing.
I love your posts.

What an amazing person; I hope I am as fit and as brave in my 80s as she was!
- gerryruth said...
Thank you for these prompts. You invited us to share some of our memories in the comment section, so here is a brief memory of her life as she told it to me, with some comments by inference.
I loved my Mother dearly and she was an affectionate, loving mother. Her early life was good until her father died when she was 13 years old. I don't think she had a really hard time financially, but emotionally there were scars. Her mother was ill and her sisters (9 & 12 years younger) went to live with Grandparents in a different state and she went to a boarding school.
My brother was born when she was 17 years old and she was a single mother. She trained to be a nurse (her Dad was a Dr and there were other Dr's in the family). She became a Practical Nurse (todays LVN).
In 1933 she, my brother and a cousin traveled to Southern California where she met my Dad, a Sailor, and they married after a whirlwind courtship. I wish I had asked more questions about their trip across the USA.
Well enough for now, this is after all your Blog.
Thanks again, for leading us in this journey.

What an inspiration! A very special mother, a woman after my own heart. Lucky you!

The Forces that Make and Break Success
There's a cold, hard fact that a majority of us MBAs don't learn in business school and it's the reality that companies falter and fail quite badly, quite often.
Theoretically, a company's competitive advantage should strengthen its positioning and it's ability to succeed among competitors. This, we MBAs are told, is done by using Michael Porter's five-force model as a barometer of sorts.
A Harvard University business professor, Porter developed the model to determine competitive intensity and the attractiveness of a business market based on five, driving forces that he identified as: the threat of new competition, the threat of substitute products or services, the bargaining power of customers, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the intensity of competition among rivals.
A company's ability to succeed in the ever-changing market should be always be within grasp, business schools commonly say.
Systems thinker Jamshid Gharajedaghi would disagree with that premise.
"What contributes to the fall of so many great enterprises is that somehow their recipe for success becomes ineffective," Gharajedaghi wrote in his 2011 book, Systems Thinking: Managing Chaos and Complexity: A Platform for Designing Business Architecture. "There seems to be a devil at work here, and the name of this devil is success."
A managing partner at the Interact Institute for Interactive Management, Gharajedaghi asserts that five, specific forces turn a company's success into failure. They are depicted by his five-level hierarchy model, which is this post's accompanying graphic. The forces that sabotage success, according to Gharajedaghi, are: imitation, inertia, suboptimization, change of game, and shift of paradigm.
Gharajedaghi's five forces almost seem pitted against Porter's five forces. For each force Porter proposed as a determinant of success, Gharajedaghi offers a counter-force that erodes it.
New competitors and the threat of imitation
Porter's threat of new competition force posits that the more profitable a market is, the more attractive it is to new companies that want to jump in and reap the rewards. Creating barriers of entry, like making the entry costs extremely high, is the only way existing companies can stop the inflow of new, resource-strapped companies.
Despite the barriers, blocking new competitors can't thwart their attempts at imitation, which Gharajedaghi called the most basic of the forces that hinder success.
"Competitive advantage is by definition a distinction," Gharajedaghi wrote. "Successful distinctions, in time, are eroded by imitation. At that point, exceptions become norms and lose their advantages."
Just look at Apple Inc.
A decade ago, the iPod was a revolutionary gadget that capitalized on the growing popularity of the MP3. The small, pricey gadget locked the cassette-playing walkman and portable CD player inside a time capsule forever. Within a few years, several companies started cranking out generic MP3 players that served the same purpose as an iPod and were much more affordable.
At that point, Apple did something Gharajedaghi said most companies fail to do: "Pause and reflect on oneself and begin anew."
The rise of substitutes in the face of inertia
By the time the market had grown saturated with iPod knockoffs, Apple skimmed past the full-effect of Porter's threat of substitute products or services force by introducing the iPhone in 2007. The release of this product also helped the company proactively dodge Gharajedaghi's counter-force of inertia, which tends to set in when success with a particular technology makes a company resistant to changing or reinventing it.
Cheaper, faster, better
Porter's force concerning the bargaining power of suppliers is juxtaposed by Gharajedaghi's force of suboptimization. As company's fight to make products cheaper, faster, and better, they urge their suppliers to follow suit. This leads to a pattern of exaggeration that Gharajedaghi described as "the fallacy that if 'X' is good more 'X' is even better." Under this assumption, suboptimization occurs as the "tendency to push one's strength to its limits transforms the strength into a destructive weakness," according to Gharajedaghi.
This perfectionism doesn't just affect the company. I would argue that it ripples out to those who assist the company until things spiral into chaos, oblivion, or both.
Citing The Icarus Paradox by Danny Miller, Gharajedaghi noted how "craftsmanship and productive attention to detail by the Digital Equipment Corporation turned into an obsession with minutia and technical detail" some years ago. "Exaggeration was also at work," Gharajedaghi wrote, "when the innovative capability of CDC and Polaroid escalated into high-tech escapism and technical utopia." IBM, Texas Instruments, General Motors, Sears, and Apple are among the companies who've also resorted to suboptimization in their fight for success, according to Gharajedaghi.
Changing the game for the sake of customer interest
When a company fails to appreciate the implication of its success and the need to play a "new game" that evolves from that success, the company lapses into "a counterintuitive process that converts success into failure," according to Gharajedaghi. This propensity is most felt when it clashes against Porter's force concerning the bargaining power of the customers, which asserts that customers can pressure or affect a company through specific measures, such as price sensitivity and demand for products.
When Henry Ford mass produced the Model T automobile in the early 20th century, he revolutionized the transportation industry. Eventually, Gharajedaghi wrote, "a familiar concern for production was replaced with an unfamiliar concern for markets. ...Henry Ford's refusal to appreciate the implications of his own success and his unwillingness to play the new game ('they can have any color as long as it is black') gave Alfred Sloan of GM the opportunity to dominate the automotive industry. Sloan's concept of product-based divisional structure turned out to be an effective design for managing growth and diversity. The new game, artfully learned and played by corporate America, became the benchmark for the rest of the world to copy."
Shifting the paradigm as competition intensifies
As competition among rivals intensifies, Porter's model asserts that companies focus on developing a sustainable competitive advantage by, for example, enhancing innovation and developing a powerful competitive strategy. This may sound pretty straightforward but, at this stage of the game, it's quite possible that Gharajedaghi's forces of imitation, inertia, suboptimization, and change of the game have already set in, which makes black-and-white strategy crafting quite gray. Based on Gharajedaghi's writings, I would assert that in the face of stiff competition, a company needs to shift the paradigm—Gharajedaghi's fifth, final, and all-encompasing force in his hierarchical model.
"Faced with a series of contradictions that can no longer be ignored or denied and/or an increasing number of dilemmas for which prevailing mental models can no longer provide convincing explanations," Gharajedaghi wrote, when it's time to try something different, "most people accept that the prevailing paradigm has ceased to be valid and that it has exhausted its potential capacity." The same thing happens to companies.
Need an example? Try Eastman Kodak, a company that stuck to the same formula for several decades and died a slow, painful death with stock that, in its final days, sold at a few cents per share.
Need another example? Try newspapers. The newsprint industry clung to the belief that people would be flipping the pages of a tangible newspaper for eternity even as the world around it continued to become more and more digital.
As an MBA two years removed from business school, I found Gharajedaghi's five-level, hierarchical model an excellent, systems compliment to Porter's business theories. Taken together, the two models effectively show that with success there's always a risk of failure and offer the foresight to avert it. That's not something many business school's generally teach very well nowadays.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Upward trend. This applies to every race: Once she has found her rhythm, she accelerates from gate to gate. This applies to every race: With the exception of her drop out at Semmering, she was top in every other race – the red jersey of the overall leader suits the new top star in the Atomic slalom team perfectly.
Team colleague of the same first name, Michaela Kirchgasser, complimented Mikaela, "Marlies is injured, Kathrin and I dropped out in the first run – it was a great performance how Mikaela represented us Atomics today by achieving best time twice. Bernadette raced a fantastic race too and finished 7th: the young ladies are stepping it up!"
Next chance to speed it up: in Flachau in 10 days. It's not only close to the World Ski Championships 2013 in Schladming geographically, but also temporally.

After a thrashing of Park City on Tuesday another region match up at American Leadership Academy awaited the Dinos on Thursday. The Dino team collected their second region match win over ALA three sets to one. Rachel Scoggins lead the way with 14 kills, 20 defensive digs, 4 service aces, and 2 solo blocks. Two other players also reached double digits in kills as Sara Potts had 12 and Amanda Freestone had 11. Alexis Oliver dished out 40 assists and when not busy delivering great sets she played a good defense and dug up 13 digs. Three other players were also in double digit digs; Kacylia Ivory 24, Sara Potts with 29.
There was a small let down in set 2 as the Dinos let one set get away. But set 3 and 4 was all Carbon as they dominated and closed out the match with the region win and staying in first place.
Carbon - 25 24 25 25 - 3
Friday and Saturday the Dinos participated in a 32- Team Tournament at the Utah Classic hosted by West High School in Salt Lake City. Friday the format was pool-play with three other teams at East High School. Scoring was two out of three sets for the win and the top two teams from pool-play advance to a modified double elimination tournament on Saturday at West High. First opponent is the state's number one overall ranked team and three-time defending 4A state champs, Snow Canyon out of St. George. Their team resembles a college team with height and quickness. The Dino team did not play bad but only got few opportunities to run any offense as the defense could not find the ball to get any transition going. Rachel Scoggins was one bright spot as she hit .400 with 4 kills in the two set match.
Carbon - 13 10 - 0
Snow Canyon - 25 25 - 2
Match two in pool-play was against another 4A team. The Bonneville Lakers are from Region 5, and is sitting in 3rd place in the Region. The Dinos had played the Laker's club team several times before and were familiar with the players. A close first set and the Dinos fall just short but dominate the next two sets as the team looked sharp hitting .429 in the third set and (.219) overall. Rachel Scoggins still on a roll pounds down 7 kills (.357) and gets offense help from Sara Potts 6 kills (.111), Amanda Freestone (231) and Kayleigh Potts (.444), 5 kills each. Great team effort as Kacylia Ivory collects 7 digs and Alexis Oliver dishes 18 assists and 3 service aces. BreAnna Hurdsman serves tough and plays good defense up front on the right side stopping the opponent's hitters.
Carbon - 23 25 15 - 2
Bonneville - 25 15 7 - 1
Last match of pool-play saw the Dinos face off against 3A Region 11 team Bear River, they are currently in 5th place in their region. Sara Potts takes over the hot hand for Scoggins and leads out with 7 kills. Carbon dismissed Bear River and took 2nd place in the pool and qualified for the gold back tournament at West High.
Carbon - 25 25 - 2
Bear River - 23 18 - 0
The first opponent was Olympus High out of 4A Region 6. Carbon jumped out to a quick lead and then held on for the 1st set win. The second set was a complete turnaround as the Dinos could not get anything going and only scored 10 points. With a renewed effort and determination the Carbon girls jumped out quickly in set three and didn't look back as they picked up a first round win. Amanda Freestone collected 9 kills, 2 service aces, 1 solo block and 2 block assists.
Carbon - 25 10 15 - 2
Olympus - 22 25 12 - 1
Second round matchup was against another 4A school from Region 5. Sky View High is currently undefeated in their region and sitting in 1st place. The two sets were tight the whole way with lead changes and neither team claiming a large lead. This was truly a great team effort by the Dinos as one player went down with a sprained ankle and other players received opportunities and came through to help secure the win. All 13 players on the team contributed to the win. Rachel Scoggins leads with 4 kills and 3 service aces and 8 digs. Kacylia Ivory gets double digit digs with 10. Kayla Strong and Jennee Martinez assist Kacylia with strong defensive performances. Darian Latimer helped keep the Carbon team ahead with solid strong serves. With the win the Dino team made it to the semi-finals and could take no worse than 4th place out of 32 teams.
Carbon - 25 26 - 2
Skyview - 21 24 - 0
The semi-final matchup is against Lehi High whose starting 6' 6" sophomore middle blocker is the daughter of Utah Jazz's Thurl Bailey and can put the ball down. Carbon gave it their all but could not maintain the same level Lehi is playing. The Dinos have 3 players with 3 kills each but the quicker Lehi team advances to the championship match and Carbon will play for third/fourth.
Lehi - 25 25 - 2
Carbon - 12 18 - 0
The third/fourth match gives the Dinos a second chance to play Snow Canyon. Snow Canyon received their first match loss of the season to a tough Morgan team. The Carbon girls, still intimidated from the night before, put up little resistance. Overall the team was satisfied with their 4th place finish and placed higher than the last attempts since coming to this tournament. Morgan went on to beat Lehi in a thriller. Each team had won one set and the third set was supposed to go to 15 but neither team would back down. Morgan out lasts Lehi and wins it 33-31.
Snow Canyon - 25 25 - 2
Carbon - 17 4 - 0
The Carbon team learned a lot from this tournament and will look forward to next Tuesday's match up at Union High in Roosevelt. A win there and the path will be set for a show down between Wasatch and Carbon for first place in Region 10 the following Tuesday. Carbon will also be very busy next week participating in Richfield in the 16 team Sevier Valley Tournament Friday and Saturday.

No Billionaire Left Behind
Posted by Jeff on Wed, 04/12/06, 04:40pm:
Note: this post, while it may seem irrelevant at times, strives to function as a preview of tonight's game against the Portland Trail Blazers by taking you inside the psyche of a different flavor of long-suffering fan.
I spied the above-referenced hippie bumper sticker on the car in front of me while driving to work yesterday. Hippie bumper stickers always remind me of my home state of Oregon, but this one sent my mind more immediately to a certain savior-cum-pariah, a man by the name of Paul Allen.
On the subject of Saint Paul, I don't know where to begin. Thankfully, you provided me with a nice jumping-off point: the 2000 Western Conference Finals. When something that karmically bad happens, there can be no recovery without complete reinvention. In this case, a regime change. I don't even need to debate the merits of being owned by a man worth more than all the other NBA owners combined, times 5 - the towel must be thrown in. To know why, let's go to our history books...
The Blazers have experienced three instances of catastrophically bad karma in their soon-to-be-completed existence, in reverse chronological order: 1) the Scottie Pippen "How To Choke So Bad That People Will No Longer Remember You Solely For the Time You Wouldn't Reenter a Game" instructional video taped here in L.A. that fateful night in 2000; 2) the draft-day Tourette's that resulted in Sam Bowie's being chosen over some Michael Jordan guy.
Instance 1 led to the current implosion. Instance 2 led to us poor Blazers fans seeing just how close we could come to a championship when, in 1990, we won game one in Detroit only to have them take the next four. It (the pronoun referring to Instance 2 of profoundly bad karma) also produced the signature moment of the aforementioned Jordan's career, when he shrugged upon canning three-pointer after three-pointer in Portland during the '92 Finals massacre. Kinda like how we produced the defining moment of Shaq's career (thanks for the pic, John - I wonder what my nightmares will be about tonight).
Quick aside: as much as I cried when we tanked it to the Lakes in 2000 (I was only 25), that wasn't the most emotion I ever showed at a Blazers defeat. No, that came at the end of a random game during the Jeff Lamp era. All was right with the world - Mom and Dad were still faking it, Mount Saint Helens hadn't blown up yet - when Calvin Natt stepped to the line for two glorious free throws with an even zero seconds left on the game clock (ah, those halcyon days before tenths). That ol' Cal would miss one was predictable. That'd just amount to me getting to watch another five minutes for free on KGW-8. When, after dribbling and sizing up the rim for what must have been half a minute, sweating more from nervousness than exhaustion (and that's saying something, the banger Calvin was), he barely drew the side of the rim on the second free throw, I broke down. I wouldn't cry that hard again until our hamster committed suicide.
Oh, and - don't think I forgot - instance #3 of the atrocious karma? That came way back on October 18, 1976. Two months earlier, the Blazers had actually drafted the right guy when they held the first pick in the ABA dispersal draft. That guy was Moses Malone. In the intervening two months, they came to their (that is, in the topsy-turvy world of Blazer logic) senses and traded him, to some team named the Buffalo Braves. Luckily, this time, due to the transference property which exists not just in math but in karma, too, the Trail Blazers were let off the hook when, a week later, the Braves traded Herr Malone to the Rockets. In fact, the Blazers won their only title that very season.
The Braves? I don't know what ever happened to them, or if the bad karma of trading Moses Malone stuck.
They did have cool uniforms, though.

Kelly campaign attacks KGUN9 News in response to a tough viewer question
GOP contender Jesse Kelly answers questions during a half-hour studio interview at KGUN9.
Update: In the wake of this and other KGUN9 stories on this issue, ALIPAC has redoubled its attacks on KGUN9 News. For the latest, click this link.
Reporters: Forrest Carr , Jennifer Waddell and Marcelino Benito
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Why did GOP Congressional contender Jesse Kelly accept an endorsement during his last campaign from a controversial political action committee?
If you're a journalist in Tucson and you dare to ask that question, be prepared to have angry fingers jabbed in your face, your professionalism impugned, and interviews canceled.
Around midday Wednesday, KGUN9 News posted a story on line previewing a sit-down interview with Kelly scheduled for KGUN9 News at 5. The preview noted that when KGUN9 News anchor Jennifer Waddell asked Kelly a tough question that a KGUN9 viewer had submitted, Kelly's spokesman became outraged and interrupted the studio session.
Within 30 minutes of that preview story going live on KGUN9.com, the aide in question called the KGUN9 newsroom to continue the attack. John Ellinwood accused 9 On Your Side of "gotcha" journalism, then canceled a pre-debate interview that had been previously scheduled for 3:00 PM that afternoon.
As part of 9 On Your Side's Project Red, White and Blue political coverage commitment, KGUN9 News has been interviewing candidates for the upcoming Congressional District 8 race. This is the contest to replace Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who resigned due to injuries sustained in the January 8 mass shooting. On Tuesday KGUN9 News presented an extended interview with Democratic challenger Ron Barber. On Thursday KGUN9 viewers will hear from Green Party candidate Charlie Manolakis.
Wednesday was Kelly's turn. A few days ago he sat down with Waddell in the KGUN9 studios for a discussion on topics ranging from health care to jobs to gasoline prices to taxes, to be broadcast this week.
In most respects, the interview session at KGUN9 was routine -- Kelly was cordial and professional throughout. But in one other respect, it was very different from the interviews Waddell conducted with Kelly's opponents. About a half hour into it, Kelly's spokesman stopped the interview.
Ellinwood was sitting to the side off camera at the time. He interrupted Waddell and announced that he was stopping the interview because of a question Waddell had just asked. That question, which a KGUN9 viewer had submitted, sought an explanation for an endorsement Kelly had accepted from a controversial anti-illegal immigration group known as ALIPAC. Ellinwood objected to viewer's use of the word "recently" to describe Kelly's acceptance -- Ellinwood strenuously insisted that the word did not fairly describe something that had happened in 2010.
Waddell tried to explain the nature and source of the question, but Ellinwood talked over her.
Kelly sat politely listening. Finally he held his hand up and told Ellinwood, "It's all right." Waddell then invited Ellinwood to join her and Kelly on the interview set. In response, Kelly held up his hand again, signalling Ellinwood to stand down. Ellinwood did so and allowed the interview to continue.
Waddell turned to Kelly and asked the question again, this time specifying that the word "recently" meant "2010." Kelly then declared the question to be "out of bounds" and declined to answer it. Waddell wrapped up the interview a short time later.
However, even though Waddell had corrected the wording of the viewer's question in response to Ellinwood's objections, after the interview Ellinwood continued his verbal assault as the group walked down the hallway to the KGUN9 lobby. Speaking in angry tones while jabbing his finger in Waddell's face, and using some choice terms, Ellinwood continued to attack the question and Waddell's professionalism for having dared to ask it.
Kelly, who remained cordial, did not join in, but nor did he intervene.
The exchange in the hallway and lobby was not captured on camera, but the studio interruption occured as production crew members were recording the session for use on air. Unedited video of that exchange is available in the upper left corner of this page. A transcript is pasted at the end of this story. (In addition, links to the full Kelly interview and also Tuesday's Ron Barber interview can be found in the "related articles" section beneath the photos at left.)
Within a half hour of KGUN9 News posting the preview version of this story early Wednesday afternoon, Ellinwood called the KGUN9 newsroom. KGUN9 news director Forrest Carr returned the call.
In this exchange, Ellinwood continued his attack. But instead of focusing on the timeliness of the question as he had done that day in the studio, now his objection was that Waddell had used "incendiary language." In her question, Waddell had pointed out that some had criticized ALIPAC as being supported by neo-Nazis, a term Ellinwood now said he found to be inflammatory. Ellinwood said that after the interview, "I told her clearly that such incendiary language was out of bounds," finishing his sentence with the same terms Kelly had used to justify ducking the question.
Ellinwood continued, "You are scheduled to do an interview at 3. I just want to know where you guys are coming from as a news organization. Is there going to be incendiary 'gotcha' language or are you just going to cover the news?"
Carr noted that the question Waddell had posed dealt with a legitimate political issue. Ellinwood didn't buy it. "It was from two years ago," he said. "You already did your story two years ago. You are rehashing a story you covered two years ago."
Ellinwood asked to speak off the record. Carr declined. After a long pause, Ellinwood finally said, "I am extremely disappointed in your news organization. I think your journalistic standards are very low. And I'm going to end this call."
Ellinwood then hung up. Seconds later, he called the KGUN9 News assignment desk and canceled the 3:00 PM interview.
Loyal KGUN9 viewers know that as part of its Viewer Advocacy News philosophy, 9 On Your Side frequently features viewer questions and comments in news coverage. The group the KGUN9 viewer wanted to ask Kelly about in this case is a political action committee called "Americans for Legal Immigration." ALIPAC has been denounced by the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center and by Senator John McCain, a prominent leader of Kelly's own party. Some of those critics -- McCain among them -- have in the past accused ALIPAC of having ties to white supremacists and the like. The Southern Poverty Law Center again included ALIPAC on its recently-updated list of "extremist groups."
Regardless of what did or did not happen in 2010, there is no question about whether the issue is still current today. Recently -- and "recently" in this case means last week -- ALIPAC renewed its endorsement of Kelly.
Later in the afternoon the Kelly camp rethought its decision to put KGUN9 News on a "do not call" list, and offered to reschedule the Kelly interview. KGUN9 reporter Marcelino Benito met with Kelly shortly before Wednesday evening's Arizona Daily Star CD8 debate. Toward the end of that inteview, Benito asked the ALIPAC question again.
Kelly politely deflected it.
Here is a transcript of the entire exchange between Kelly, Ellinwood and Waddell:
Waddell: We have something from one of our viewers again. This is Joe Evano: "Recently you accepted the endorsement of the Americans for Legal Immigration group. Senator John McCain and the Anti-Defamation League have denounced --
Ellinwood: (off camera, interrupting): I want to stop you.
Waddell: Oh --
Ellinwood: That's false.
Waddell: OK --
Ellinwood: He did not accept recently.
Waddell: This is --
Ellinwood (interrupting): No. It's false. That was from 2010. So would you please read some correct answers?
Waddell: Well, this is not an 'answer.' This is something --
Ellinwood (interrupting): That was not recent.
Waddell: Hang on just one second. Do you want to come into the shot --
Kelly: (holding up his hand): John.
Waddell: Because this is all --
Kelly (to Ellinwood): It's all right. It's all right.
Waddell (to Ellinwood, still off camera): If you want to come in and join the conversation, that's fine.
Kelly (holds up his hand a second time): John.
Waddell (to Ellinwood): This is from a viewer. (To Kelly). So I will let you address this.
Kelly: You can ask it again.
Waddell: I will ask the question and you can address it how you choose. So Joe Evano says, recently you accepted the endorsements of the Americans for Legal Immigrations group -- he's saying this was in 2010 -- Senator John McCain and the Anti-Defamation League have denounced the group for being backed by white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. Why then did you accept that endorsement? This is from Joe Evano.
Kelly: It was in 2010. This election is about jobs, and the economy, and lower gas prices. Frankly it's completely out of bounds.
Waddell: Ok. Thank you for your response on that.

Formed: 1985 in Melbourne, Australia
Members: Frontman Neil Finn, bassist Nick Seymour, guitarist-keyboardist Mark Hart and drummer Matt Sherrod
Latest Release: Intriguer, the June-released follow-up to 2007's Time on Earth, which was the band's first record in 14 years.
Sounds like: the New Wave pop of Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson or XTC bled of its prickly tendencies and infused with acoustic folk.
For fans of: Squeeze, the Go-Betweens, Tears for Fears, Elvis Costello and the Ruby Sons
Why you care: Crowded House founder and frontman Neil Finn is perhaps the second-most-famous New Zealander in the world (after Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson), and his band's success is largely due to his finely detailed songwriting. Though the band, which Finn started after the dissolution of his New Wave project Split Enz (remember "I Got You"?), is most well known in the U.S. as a two-hit-wonder relic from the 1980s, Crowded House is actually a long-running powerhouse Down Under and in Europe. And those two hits? They still stand up. "Don't Dream It's Over," the band's biggest chart success, was one of the most heartfelt ballads of the early MTV era, and "Something So Strong," still sounds strikingly modern 23 years later with its vocal harmony and Hammond organ-bolstered chug. Despite a 10-year hiatus (from about 1996 to 2006) and an evolving lineup (Finn and Seymour are the only members who have participated in every incarnation of the band), Crowded House continues a vibrant, productive and inspiring career.
SEE IT: Crowded House plays Edgefield on Thursday, Aug. 26, with Lawrence Arabia. 6:30 pm. $39-$54 advance, $43 day of show. All ages.

Kari Burgess-Brown sees it every day. As center director of USO Fort Campbell, her daily interactions with troops give her firsthand knowledge of the lives that our military families lead. Her sister is the wife of a serviceman, allowing Kari to sympathize with military spouses as they deal with challenges on the home front.
In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Month, Kari shares her thoughts on the high instance of suicide in the military and what the USO — and USO Fort Campbell specifically — does to combat this serious issue.
"Officially, September is Suicide Prevention Month, but we take it seriously throughout the year at Fort Campbell. Every month, I sit in the Suicide Prevention Working Group meeting and we are briefed on all of the suicides since the last meeting. There are two common, underlying stressors in these suicides: troubled relationships and financial hardships. We work hard to build awareness of what the USO Fort Campbell already does to help couples and to fill financial gaps and we continually explore new ways to make a bigger impact.
"Of course, everything we do for active duty and their families is free. Every Wednesday, we provide lunch for soldiers. We host monthly family dinners, brew coffee all day and give a snack and beverage to every guest. We buy the newest video games for our inventory for guests to enjoy without paying a $60 price tag. And our events, computer services and entertainment opportunities always provide something to do without costing soldiers and families money. These aren't giant actions with sweeping benefits, but we'll save the soldier that likes to go somewhere for that first cup of coffee before work more than $260 a year, which could be an entire car payment.
"Recently, we started working with new partners to facilitate the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace for Military Families program. This provides us a unique opportunity to build a bridge between financial hardships and struggling relationships and we are thrilled with how it seems to be falling into place to meet the demand of the program.
"Our local sporting and theater partners have been very generous in gifting us tickets to distribute to couples for date nights. To further our impact on stronger relationships at Fort Campbell, we brought a WTB (Warrior Transition Battalion) couple on a Rivers of Recovery fly fishing trip in Utah. We are also hosting Stronger Families to conduct an "Oxygen for Your Relationship" facilitator training and a couple's seminar in October. These seminars help couples better understand each other and improve their communication.
"We've heard from people all over Fort Campbell that the USO is really a resiliency resource for soldiers and families and we are continually looking for places where our mission to lift the spirits of troops and their families intersects with suicide prevention efforts. For us, it isn't about finding the big solution. It is about working every day to deliver goodness so our soldiers and their families know that they are a part of our family, that we love them and that we are here to support them."

Spotlight On: Sher Ghazi of Mountain Fruits
In late July, floodwaters washed over almost the entire country of Pakistan. Throughout Pakistan, numerous lives were lost and thousands were displaced from their homes. Fairtrade certified producers in Gilgit in the Northern reaches of the country were among the first to feel the brutal effects of the flooding.
Gilgit is home to Mountain Fruits, a Fairtrade certified producer of dried apricots, almonds and other fruits and nuts. Though flooding wiped out the majority of the region's apricot harvest, Tropical Wholefoods, a UK-based importer of Fairtrade goods, which helped make up for the loss of the apricot harvest.
Sher Ghazi, CEO of Mountain Fruits, stopped by the FLO offices in Bonn, Germany, for an interview while travelling through Europe to attend conferences and visit traders.
In the region you're working with, what percentage of people were affected by the floods?
"In our communities, 100% of the population has been affected, while not directly hitting the almonds, irrigation canals were destroyed, families were out of power and the children couldn't attend school because the bridges were out. Now since the highway has been rebuilt, bridges are being reconstructed and we are getting supplies. But the people have used up all their cash, they have no income and fuel and other things are scarce."
How long did the flooding last?
"I was in Thailand where FLO was holding the summer consultation and when I returned, I got stuck in Islamabad. For almost 25 days the water and the rain were continuously disturbing the area. Our road was first opened after 47 days.
How is the recovery going?
"Well, the main obstacles have been removed. The power supply in the main town is now okay. They are working on linking the villages with bridges so at least the kids can go to school. The people from the main town (Gilgit) are going to construct it since people from the valleys do not know how to build this. And you cannot wait for the government. That is too slow."
How is the Fairtrade Premium being used in the area?
"Some people have projects, which were continued like education and a vocational school. There is a water supply project in one area and another effort to build a community hall.
"And this year, the Premium from 2009 was just received a month before I came here, soon after all the effects of the flood, and the money is being spent on rebuilding of the irrigation channels because this was the priority for most villagers.
"So for now it has just been used for rebuilding the infrastructure in communities."
Mountain Fruits provides work opportunities for many young women in the region. In many cases, it is the only opportunity for women to work outside the home and Sher Ghazi and his wife Roshan Ghazi are proud to provide local women with the opportunity to contribute to family income. Roshan also works at Mountain Fruits and recruits their seasonal work force.
What is the role of women at Mountain Fruits? (answered by Roshan)
Before Fairtrade, farmers used to dry the apricots for local consumption. The women were responsible for cooking, taking care of animals, taking care of the children, actually all of the activities inside the house. In addition they harvested and did the apricot drying.
The women had to sell the apricots to local traders at any price since they had no other option, there was no other market. But now they are exporting and benefiting from an attractive price. And the money they are getting, they are investing it, especially in sending their daughters to school.
I understand that Mountain Fruits gives preference to people from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them and their families.
One of the attractions of working with Mountain Fruits is that we hire only women and they all work together. It's a good environment and they are very much satisfied working there. Mountain Fruits actually pays a better wage compared to local rates, although there are few alternatives in the area. University students also come to work at Mountain Fruits to make money so they can pay for their next semester.

Restaurants & Businesses Offering Discounts to Veterans on Veteran's Day and Every Other Day of the Year in Abilene [UPDATED]
Our military veterans have given so much of themselves to protect us that it seems impossible to repay them. Many businesses offer special discounts to active duty and retired military personnel and their families on special holiday's like Memorial Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day. Special days set aside Nationally to honor our military. However, with Dyess Air Force Base being such a huge part of our community most retailers in Abilene offer discounts to our military year round, which seems much more appropriate. There are a few though that are going a little above what is normal for this Veterans Day, Monday, November 11th. Special discounts, if not free, meals are the most abundant offerings. Most just ask that you show your military ID.
Golden Corral
Golden Corral will be offering a free "thank you" meal to veterans from 4-9 pm on Monday, November 11th. Last year Golden Corral raised over $1.2 million for the Disabled American Veterans organization. A free buffet meal and beverage will be offered to retirees, veterans, active duty, National Guard or Reserves with no ID required. Please see more details about the event at the website link below.
Texas State Veterans Cemetery
The cemetery will be having a flag placing on Sunday, November 10th. The boy/girl scouts along with Dyess personnel and anyone else who would like to volunteer will be placing flags on the grave sites. The decorations will be placed at 5 pm. November 10th. They advise you get there early if you would like to help. To offer your services you can contact the TSVC at (325) 673-4446. For more information check the TSVC website.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse is always involved in community events and celebrating our military is no exception. Last year over 150,000 veterans and active military were served a free meal; that's over $1.3 million in free food that the restaurant chain donated. This year is no exception. Again here locally Texas Roadhouse will open for lunch on Monday, November 11th with a special free meal for current, active duty and retired military personnel. You can choose your meal from a select menu between the hours of 11a – 2p and must show your military ID. (Proof of service includes military or VA card, or discharge papers.)
Everyday Supporters
The Home Depot and Lowe's along with many other restaurants and businesses honor our military each and everyday with a 10% discount on your purchases. All over town you can find store owners offering discounts from dry cleaners, movie theaters, nail salons and of course restaurants.
Pizza Inn
Pizza Inn at 4138 Ridgemont Drive (in front of Lowe's) will be offering Free buffets to veteran's on Monday, November 11th. It will be from 11am-9pm and includes drink, pizza, pasta, salad bar and desserts. Make sure you have proper ID with you; it is for all active duty and veterans.
Eula H.S. Veterans Day Program
On Monday, November 11, the Eula High School class of 2013 will be hosting their annual Veterans Day Program. It is for all veterans, their spouses and currently enlisted military. The event will be from 9-11 am in the High School Cafeteria. Presented by the 2014 Senior Class.The H.S. is located at 6040 FM 603 in Clyde, TX 79510.

Spring, 2006
Since its founding, no set of political issues has more bedeviled the American political system than those having to do with race and ethnicity. The nation's founders devised a political system that has done a pretty good job of addressing conflicts arising from ideological, geographic, religious and class differences, but the institutions they created have been largely inept when it comes to dealing with the persistent inequalities related to race and ethnicity. Social policy problems related to education, crime, and welfare, that might otherwise find resolution, often prove unsolvable to the extent race and ethnicity enter into the debates. How and whether or not the nation can begin to solve these problems are the fundamental questions of this course.
At it simplest level, much of the debate
over race in the
In this course we will read many of these books, analyze and critique them. We will read the books in part for the knowledge and information they might contain, but mostly to gain an understanding of the diversity of thinking about these matters. An important objective of this course is for the students to develop an ability to communicate their own ideas and insights about these most controversial of subjects. This involves more than formulating ideas and putting them on paper; it involves finding an audience, exposing one's ideas, evidence, and logic to others and anticipating, and responding to, their reactions. In this regard, this course will be different.
Perhaps unlike many other courses related to race, ethnicity and social inequality, there will be no attempt to impose any doctrine, perspective or ideology on this course (although even saying that might do so), other than that we ought to adhere to common standards of free and open inquiry. The books themselves have been chosen to reflect a very broad spectrum of thought and ideology. The authors, the other students in the class, and, perhaps, the instructor will, no doubt, express views with which you will disagree. This should be appreciated: you will never learn much from people you agree with. Our discussions will be guided by one general rule:
We are all students trying to learn; it is just as important not to take offense as it is not to offend.
Course Objectives:
Due Dates, Requirements and Grades.
Each (undergraduate) student will be assigned to read four of the books (one from each of the four sections of the course), to summarize the work in class, and to submit a review of each book to the discussion list. Each reviewer will be asked to summarize and discuss the assigned book one week prior to the date the review is due. The reviews should be approximately 1,500 words in length. The reviews and in-class summaries will comprise 80% of the final grade. Note that the class presentation on each book is a part of the grade for that review. Reviews will not receive a grade higher than a B if a) it is submitted late, or b) if the reviewer cannot adequately summarize the book the prior week. Each review will be evaluated based on the "Summary Grade sheet" standards.
In addition, each student will be expected to read, but not review, one additional book from the list. For that book, you are expected to post discussion comments to the list.
Class participation, both oral in-class participation in class and on the discussion list, will comprise 10 percent of the grade. This will include at least two well-thought-out messages to the discussion list commenting on other reviews that have been posted. At least one of these must be posted before the semester break.
Participation on the discussion list, in the form of "commentaries" submitted to the list will require some reading of, or reading-about, the other books on the list. Such commentaries should consist of serious analysis of the book or the review under discussion. At all times avoid sending quick, short, and immediate responses to reviews and commentaries to the list.
For your first book review (only), a draft copy must be sent to the instructor by September 5th. You are welcome to send draft copies of your other reviews to the instructor and to each other at any time, but please do so sufficiently in advance of the due date to receive comments back. Not paying attention to comments made on your draft is a big mistake.
A final take-home examination on the course subject matter (minimum 2,000 words in length) will comprise 10% of the grade. This will be sent to the instructor (but not the discussion list] by at the time of the scheduled final examination. The examination is intended to assess how well you grasp the ideas presented in all of the books, particularly those you have not reviewed and to develop and summative and integrative interpretations of many different works.
In the class schedule below, two books are assigned each week. The dates in the schedule below are the Tuesday class presentations (the second book on Thursday); the review must be posted to the discussion list the following Monday at midnight. (Thus, the first book will be discussed on February 7, and the second on February 9; both reviews must be posted by Monday, February 13, 11:59pm).
Late reviews sent out within one week of the due date will not receive a grade higher than a B. Later than that, the reviews should not be sent out on the discussion list, and you will receive a 20% grade reduction.
Attendance for this course is mandatory. Do not enroll in the course if you anticipate problems attending class. If for any reason at all you miss three classes, you will be assigned an extra review (see list at end of the syllabus). Two more classes, one more review. If you miss a class when you are scheduled to present a book, you must schedule a special meeting with the instructor as soon as possible.
Class format:
Once we get into the book review schedule, one hour of each class will be primarily devoted to a discussion of one of the two books to be reviewed the next week. These discussions will be led by the students doing those reviews.
An unusual feature of this course involves the use of an Internet electronic mail discussion list, POS334-L . Each student's work will be distributed on the POS334-L list to over two hundred faculty and students across the world, some of whom will be submitting their own writings and commentaries on each other's writings. The purpose is both to provide an external audience for the students' ideas and to bring ideas from the outside into the class. In effect, your writing will be on public display.
Course Schedule:
I. Introduction: (WEEKS 1-3).
The first two weeks will address general principles of writing book reviews, an introduction to the major value conflicts and issues concerning race and ethnicity, and some demonstration of the use of electronic mail and discussion lists. We will examine and evaluate previously-published book reviews, including those sent to the POS334-L discussion list.
The following readings (available on-line) will be discussed on Tuesday, January 24th:
Robert Jensen, "Unearned Privilege: White people need to acknowledge benefits of unearned privilege."
Walter Williams, "Affirmative Action Can't Be Mended"

Two weeks ago, my boss told me I was looking gaunt. And he suggested I go to Medical. I laughed it off. Maybe I had pt'd too much, but I doubt it. Even so, folks around the office may have taken notice because last week, I was gifted with THREE BURRITOS!
It is a great feeling to come back from running around to meetings and find a burrito on your desk. The first one may not totally count as a gift. The salty folks in my cubicle have agreed to celebrate Wednesday morning with burritos. (Yes, I was the one who got my whole cubicle sick with the chorizo burritos. Except for one guy with an iron stomach.) So on Wednesday, I was "surprised" with a breakfast burrito from the Valero gas station out in Encinitas. Beans. Eggs. Potatoes. Cheese. The classics. Delicious.
And Thursday, one of the civilians, unbeknownst to me, left a two pound surf and turf burrito from Sarita's Taco Shop on my desk. You have no idea how perfect it is. I ate it in two meals. Carne Asada and shrimp. There are great Americans and then there are great Americans and that civilian who bought me that baby is a great American.
On Friday, one of the contractors got me a Billy Bob burrito from the roach coach. Don't freak out, Moody's has some good food. A Billy Bob is gravy, egg, potato, and sausage. Kind of a southern thing mixed in with a Mexican cosa. Utterly outstanding.
Shall I talk about the chile rellano burrito I had today from Moody's? I told the ladies at the roach coach it was so good, it should be illegal!
