Romney's remark a myth among many
Published: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 5:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 5:49 a.m.
Mitt Romney has been duly criticized for what we'll call "The 47 Percent Remark," his dismissive distancing of himself from close to half of the American people, who, he says, "are dependent upon government, who believe they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to take care of them. ..."
Plenty of commentators have already pointed out how wrongheaded this statement is, in tone, in fact and in spirit. Meanwhile, Romney's apologists struggle with the impossible task of finding a way to make his infelicitous remark reasonably palatable.
I was thinking about this episode a few days ago while I was watching my freshman composition students write in class, hovering over their keyboards in a serious attempt to execute the mysterious and ancient art of writing. As a rule, I don't know much about the personal lives of most of my students. And I'm reluctant to make the same mistake that Romney did, which is to stereotype people about whom I know very little.
But I have a feeling that some of these students are just the sort of people that Romney had in mind when he conceded the votes of one out of every two Americans who, he thinks, have already grown so dependent upon the government that they expect it to fulfill their every need.
I imagine that it's been a while since Mitt Romney has had much to do with people like my students. After all, I teach at a community college in South Texas. Almost 60 percent of its students are Hispanic or black; only 30 percent are white. Even though the college works hard to keep its tuition affordable, of its 12,000 students, 64 percent receive some sort of financial aid, including more than $20 million in Pell grants.
Furthermore, some of my students -- especially the single mothers -- benefit from food stamps and other forms of government assistance. And, no doubt, some of them draw unemployment. A few of the older ones are living on a government pension or Social Security, and I suspect that some of my students or their families didn't pay any income tax last year.
I'm not sure whether Mitt Romney would call all of these people "freeloaders," "takers" rather than "makers." But I know that they don't think of themselves that way. In fact, about 70 percent of them attend college part-time because they're working, some of them 40 hours per week or more.
One strapping fellow missed a class last week to work a couple of long shifts in the oil field. And sometimes my students come to class exhausted after an all-nighter behind the counter of a convenience store. With job, family and school, many of my students work very hard.
Of course, the fact that these students are in college implies that they have more innate initiative and responsibility than Romney appears to be willing to grant to the rest of the 47 percent, the ones who lounge in the safety net that has turned into a hammock.
Perhaps. But the idea that the safety net was ever sumptuous enough to attract many Americans to luxuriate in it is dubious. The really hard labor in our culture has always been done by Hispanics, blacks, other minorities and poor whites. And they've always aspired to something better -- if not for themselves, for their children.
Sometimes our culture encourages this sort of aspiration -- certainly, at least, with lip service. But at other times, subtle mechanisms work to keep people in their places. One of those mechanisms is the myth of the inherent laziness of the poor and non-white, a fabrication essential to the maintenance of the status quo and so pervasive that sometimes even the poor and non-white begin to think it.
This myth -- tidy, convenient and sweet to the ears of his $50,000-per-plate donors -- helps explain Mitt Romney's casual indifference to nearly half of all Americans.

Auntie Anne's, the world's largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise, recently announced the launch of a robust loyalty program. Currently one of the few primarily mall-based QSR brands in the loyalty space, Auntie Anne's partnered with MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS) and mobile app development company Qubop, Inc. to introduce 'My Pretzel Perks' mobile loyalty app.
Auntie Anne's new app is currently available in 80 percent of its more than 1,000 U.S. store locations, with plans to complete the remaining participating stores' installations by the end of August. This new mobile loyalty app works as a rewards system, allocating points for each visit and every dollar spent. There are three tier levels that can be attained based on the number of points a guest earns: Pretzel Fan, Pretzel Lover and Pretzel Perfect. Rewards are awarded to guests with every 300 points that are earned, as well as when each individual tier is achieved, and range from special discounts and offers, to free products, to souvenir cups and t-shirts. In addition, the app contains helpful features including a listing of menu items and a store locator.
"At Auntie Anne's, we're always looking for ways to improve the guest experience," said Heather Neary, Auntie Anne's Chief Marketing Officer. "Our new loyalty program was carefully developed specifically to cater to our loyal guests – rewarding them for their patronage and encouraging repeat visits. Our goal is to provide value to our guests any way that we can."
The launch of this mobile loyalty app also enables Auntie Anne's to evolve beyond the transaction at its counters. The new app will allow the company to better track customer redemption of coupons, make unique offers based on customer behavior, and help achieve increased sales through greater customer frequency.
The 'My Pretzel Perks' mobile loyalty app is currently available for download free of charge on iOS and Android devices via the App Store or Google Play Store. Upon downloading, users will need to sign up for the program. This will activate a new account and send the first reward to the app within 24 hours – a coupon for a free Pretzel item.

At its 1,600 locations around the world, Auntie Anne's mixes, twists and bakes pretzels from scratch all day long in full view of guests.

Rice Athletics Public Forum
Rick Greenspan, who led successful athletics programs, facilities construction and fundraising campaigns as athletics director at Indiana University and West Point, was named Rice University's 15th Director of Athletics on March 12, 2010. He served in this capacity until June 30, 2013.
Greenspan brings 30 years of administrative and managerial experience in intercollegiate athletics, physical education and recreation at public and private universities to his position as the leader of Rice Athletics and Recreation. Indiana captured eight individual or team national titles during Greenspan's tenure from 2004 to 2008. He oversaw a 24-sport NCAA Division IA intercollegiate athletics program with a $53 million operating budget, nearly 700 student-athletes and a coaching and administrative staff of more than 175. He organized the university's first comprehensive capital campaign, which increased annual giving by 41 percent and raised $65 million toward the $80 million goal by the midpoint, and led the construction of numerous new athletics structures and refurbished outdated facilities.
From 1999 to 2004, Greenspan served as director of intercollegiate athletics at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he managed a 25-sport NCAA Division IA intercollegiate athletics program with a $23 million budget and 800 student-athletes. His overhaul of the annual giving program resulted in a 300 percent increase in gifts and a doubling of the average gift. Under his leadership, 34 percent of all student-athletes made the dean's list. He also developed and funded an athletics facility master plan.
For the past year, Greenspan has worked as a consultant to numerous Division I schools in search processes for coaching and administrative vacancies. He also has lectured for and consulted with the NCAA Division IA Athletic Directors Association, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the National Association of Athletic Compliance Officers.
The Greenbelt, Md., native has also served as director of intercollegiate athletics at Illinois State University (1993-1999), senior associate athletics director at University of Miami (1992-1993), associate athletics director at University of California-Berkeley (1983-1991), recreational athletics coordinator at University of New Hampshire (1982-1983) and associate coordinator for the Klotsche Center for Physical Education and Recreation at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1979-1982).
Rice Dean of Undergraduates Robin Forman chaired the search committee for the new athletics director. He said the committee established a number of criteria for the candidates, including honesty and integrity; the ability to represent both the university and its athletics programs well; the experience and leadership skills to help Rice's student-athletes succeed academically, athletically, personally and professionally; and the potential to foster a communitywide sense of engagement with and excitement about athletics. The athletics director also oversees recreation and fitness programs for the university.
Greenspan has a master's degree in physical education and athletic administration from Idaho State University, where he graduated summa cum laude. He has a bachelor's degree in behavioral science from the University of Maryland-College Park, where he was a four-year letter winner in baseball.
Greenspan and his wife, Jenny, have been married 34 years. They have two grown children: Emily, a graduate of the University of Connecticut, and Ben, a graduate of Indiana University and currently an assistant baeball coach for the Hoosiers.

3 Ridiculous Bottled Water Claims
Liter for liter, bottled water costs hundreds of times as much as the stuff that gushes from the tap, but otherwise it isn't so different—except that it's subject to a good deal less monitoring, says Peter Gleick, author of Bottled and Sold. In fact, between 25 and 45 percent of the bottled water sold in the United States originates as tap water. Maybe that's why some manufacturers make such extravagant claims:
It's "oxygenated." Some bottled brands supposedly contain up to 40 times as much oxygen as conventional water; ads say the extra oxygen improves athletic performance. But scientists who tested five brands of oxygen-enriched water found no performance boost—not surprising, the researchers say, since a single breath contains more oxygen than a whole bottle of oxygenated water. All you get from oxygen-enriched water is an expensive burp, says Gleick.
It's "structured." For years, the manufacturer of Penta water claimed its water had "30 percent smaller molecular water clusters" that hydrate you better. The company has backed off on some of those claims after being challenged by British regulators, but Penta still says its water may help prevent disease and lengthen life—with no accepted scientific evidence to support that idea, Gleick points out.
It's a "diet aid." Can drinking bottled water help you shed unwanted pounds? Yes and no. Drinking lots of water can promote weight loss. But you get that advantage with any kind of water—whether or not it's enriched with vitamins, minerals, or other ingredients.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

QPR 3 Bournemouth 0: Harry's lads show their class with season's first treble and Joey on song in efficient win
Led by the industrious quality of Joey Barton, Tuesday felt like the night QPR finally announced themselves as the classiest team in the Championship.
Whether that will result in Harry Redknapp's side regaining their Barclays Premier League status come May will depend more on their ability to avoid lapses such as Saturday's defeat by lowly Doncaster, for there can be little doubting the quality in their squad.
Barton bestrode this match with a calm assurance in possession to complement his bite in the tackle. And, yes, there was a booking but that was understandable in light of a baffling refereeing decision.
Take the praise: QPR's Charlie Austin presents himself to the crowd after scoring his third in three games
Slotted: Austin pokes through a striker's finish to put QPR 1-0 up against Bournemouth at Loftus Road
Match facts
QPR (4-4-2): Green 6; Simpson 7, Dunne 6, Hill 6, Assou-Ekotto 7; O'Neil 6 (Traore 82'), Barton 9, Carroll 7, Hoilett 7 (Jenas 74' 6); Johnson 7 (Phillips 74' 7), Austin 8
Subs not used: Murphy, Young, Henry, Kranjcar
Goals: Austin, Hoilett, Phillips
Booked: Barton
Bournemouth (4-1-4-1): Camp 6; Francis 6, Elphick 5, Cook 5, Daniels 6; MacDonald 6 (Grabban 61' 5); Ritchie 5 (Fraser 69' 5), Surman 5, Arter 7, Pugh 5; Pitman 5 (Rantie 61' 5)
Subs not used: Flahavan, Harte, O'Kane, Thomas
Booked: Macdonald
Man of the match: Barton
Referee: Andy Woolmer 6
Click HERE for full results, fixtures and tables in the Championship
Rangers are behind leaders Leicester only on goals scored. Clinical finishes from Charlie Austin, Junior Hoilett and Matty Phillips suggest they may close that gap, too.
manager Kevin Bond said: 'We're really happy. Until we got the first
goal it was a very tight game.
'The manager was talking to the wide players to say they needed to help out with goals, so it was important Junior and Matty scored.'
in the hurly-burly of the Championship will be tolerated as long as
excitement replaces efficiency at Loftus Road this season.
Until Tuesday night, Rangers had not scored more than two goals in a game.
Then again they have Austin, whose knack of finding space was evident with a 12th-minute header from a diagonal Danny Simpson cross which Lee Camp tipped over.
After 27 minutes Austin again eased himself into position to cushion Andrew Johnson's cross on his chest before poking a shot under the body of the onrushing Camp for his ninth league goal of the season.
Protest: Joey Barton takes exception to referee Andy Woolmer not sending Tommy Elphick off
Be quiet: Barton soon gives Woolmer a chance to show his a yellow card after a rash tackle
Austin caused more pandemonium on the half-hour.
Chasing a through ball, his pace brought him level with Tommy Elphick, who pulled Austin back then scooped the ball away with a hand. It was an obvious red card to all except for the assistant, who did everything but assist referee Andy Woolmer.
The outcome was merely a free-kick which an exasperated Barton drove into the Bournemouth wall. He followed that with a frustrated hack on Simon Francis that brought a booking.
Through traffic: Junior Hoilett (centre) beats an outstretched leg as the ball begins a bobbling path to the net
Helpless: Hoilett watches as his shot bounces over the arm of goalkeeper Lee Camp for QPR's second
Austin's only lapse, an air shot early in the second half, left Hoilett to squeeze a shot into the far corner and the result was assured 13 minutes from time when Phillips hammered home with his first touch.
Bournemouth's only effort of note came when Rob Green was forced to turn away a bouncing shot from Harry Arter.
Whisper it to the rest of the Championship but QPR are about to get stronger. Former West Ham midfielder Yossi Benayoun will be joining on an 18-month contract.

Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 1GB Vapor-X Video Card Review
The Card
The HD 6770 we're looking at today is the Vapor-X version from Sapphire and uses the pretty mean looking Vapor-X cooler. It's got a nice big fan, but the highlight to the cooler is the massive chunk of copper that you can see behind the fan which helps keep the card running nice and cool
Looking around the card, we've got a single 6-Pin PCI-E power connector at the back, our CrossFire connectors across the top and connectivity comes in the form of two Dual-Link DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. The setup of course supports Eyefinity.
The HD 6770 is pretty much a rebadged HD 5770 with support for HDMI 1.4a, which in turn gives us support for 3D. Outside of that, though, there's really no difference between the HD 5770 and the HD 6770.
That means we've got 800 Stream Processors, 850MHz Core Clock and the 1GB of GDDR5 comes in at 4800MHz QDR running on a 128-bit memory bus.
This particular HD 6770 comes with an overclock. Unfortunately that overclock is only an extra 10MHz on the core, bringing it to 860MHz. I understand that it's an overclock, but it's really frustrating when companies throw the OC label around for a 10MHz overclock.
I would've preferred to see the core just stay the same at 850MHz with no OC tag, or pushed to at least 880MHz and used it. 10MHz hardly seems deserving of an "OC" label. I can't put the blame on just Sapphire, though; we do see a lot of companies do it. None the less, it doesn't make it right.
