SOURCE: Freedman, John. "The Possibilities and Limitations of Poetry: Wisława Szymborska's Wielka liczba." Polish Review 31, nos. 2-3 (1986): 137-47.
In the following essay, Freedman interprets the title poem of Szymborska's collection Wielka liczba—translated as "A Great Number"—as a work representative of the poet's principal themes and techniques.
Wisława Szymborska's poetry is—above all—marked by a striking universality which allows for widely variant readings. In his review of Szymborska's 1976 collection,1 A Great Number (Wielka liczba), Stanisław Barańczak primarily stressed the sociological aspect of her poetry as it is revealed in her use of language. Her language and images, he argues, are nearly always concrete and situational. In his introduction to her 1977 Poetry (Poezje), a retrospective collection, Jerzy Kwiatkowski, relying heavily on a vocabulary sprinkled with philosophical terminology...

One quick Friday contest before everyone jets out for the long weekend. In the US we'll be celebrating Columbus day while the Canadians have Thanksgiving. They'll be celebrating what they are thankful for - family, friends, food and ... BlackBerrys. What better way to give thanks for your device than to treat it to some security with Smart Lock and Wipe. This application lets you remotely wipe your device should it be lost or stolen. You can activate the app from any mobile phone or by emails or SMS, and your device will be wiped of precious data like email, call logs and contact information. A little bit of extra security goes a long way. Smart Lock and Wipe sells in the CrackBerry App Store for $5.99, but we have 100 free copies to give away. Just leave a comment on this post, and to make it interesting, tell us why you are thankful for your BlackBerry. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one entry - multiple submissions won't count.
Contest: Smart Lock and Wipe - 100 Free Copies

Contest: Smart Lock and Wipe - 100 Free Copies
For this chance! I could use some good news this week. ;)
I'm thankful for my BB b/c it really keeps me together. With one device i can figure out how to get across the city, see what emails i've missed, check the latest headlines and just have fun while on the rail or T. With this addition, i'll have the added security of knowing that if I lose my device, i won't lose precious info.
Have a great Friday everyone!
I could never go back to a regular phone again! I have been corrupted by my Storm!
Just in case is always a good thing.
Sign me up for smart lock and wipe.
congrats to the person who created this app..I am new to the blackberry family..bought my curve on october 5 as a birthday gift to myself..but cant believe the difference between this and my old phone..it actually works..I am currently exploring my options with this device, and would love to have this app to start the collection I figure I am going to have..
i love my blackberry
Thats whats up just the app i need when I want to give my BB away to my brother or sister I could use this great give away.
I am thankful for my BlackBerry helping keep me organized, without it, I'd forget about all sorts of dates and appointments! It also makes for an awesome messaging device.
Hook me up with a copy of Smart Lock and Wipe!
I am thankful for BlackBerry because without it I would not know what day, date, time, or weather it was. I would not be able to meet people on time, find my way to them, or remember important details such as email, snail mail, birthday, spouse, kids, etc... My BlackBerry allows me to be busy and productive.
Either this or e-GPS!!!
I just wish someone would run a full test on either and let us know if the device and card are actually wiped!
give me freebie
This one is a MUST HAVE!
I love my BB because I have always had a hard time remembering dates, appointments, names, numbers, etc. My BB covers me for everything, it never lets me down. If I forget a password to a website, a phone number to the heating company, the name of salesperson that i need later, my BB is always there to help save the day. Throw in the fact that it helps me stay in contact with old friends via Facebook and other social networks, helps me browse the web, and hey, it also makes really good phone calls. I'm afraid I'm addicted... for life.
I'll take one.
Very cool App. Hope I win One!
I would love to have this should anything happen to my Blackberry! PLEASE PLEASE pick me!!
I am thankful for my berry because I am now an instant information appendix. "When was Maryland founded?" oh I'm not sure let me look that up for you. 2 seconds later, problem solved. I love the quickness and ease for which it gives me information and connectivity in a reliable platform. Thank you berry.
Would like to win this one!
I'd love this. Thanks Crackberry
...and getting it for free would be that much better!
I'm thankful for my Blackberry because it has kept me in touch with otherwise hard to reach Family and friends and on top of life in general for the last couple years. At this point I realy don't know what I would do with out it. It's actually a really huge part of keeping in touch with my Father and I couldn't be more thankiful for that.
Everyone have a great Columbus Day Weekend in the US and a Happy Thanksgiving in Canada!
Well, I, like most, are thankful because without my BlackBerry I'd be completely lost. I keep everything on it and if I was to lose it, someone would be able to get a great deal of my information. I have everything from appointments to anniversaries, work schedule, vacations, 6 email accounts and many other things going on with my Tour. I've given both my old BlackBerries to my fiance, of which BOTH of them have been lost with her information on it and we had to do some credit-cleanup because someone figured out her easy password.
This application would have been a godsend!
My BB is not just a phone, not just place to keep contact info and a to-do list, not just a way to connect to the world via the internet, not just entertainment but an indispensable tool that keeps my in touch, organized, prepared and happy! Best of all, my company pays for it!!! I am thankful for my BB.
My wife and I just got our BlackBerries last week and WOW! We are addicted already. I am on Crackberry.com at least 5 times per day and I can't put my phone down. My wife and I have been sitting in the same room and using messenger! We are thankful that we are finally able to work and play (thanks to BB) on the go!
My Blackberry keeps my crazy life somewhat sane. It helps me to stay organized and in touch with all the people that I need to help manage my life. I don't know how I would function without it!!
...me up!
I have been so thankful for my berry for the added communication for both work and personal. Since having my berry I have been able to keep in closer contact with family members that are communicating via email. Some have not fully embraced the use of cell phone(they are on the elderly side and have a hard time seeing the keys to dial let alone send text) For my business it has allowed me to almost double sales as I am in constant contact no matter how my customers choose to reach out to me. They truly have appreciated the ability to reach me at anytime. Smart Lock will be the added security I need should the unfortunate happy and I loose my life line to everyone I know.
Please pick me.
Thank you for the chance to win this added security.
I'm thankful for my BlackBerry because it connects me with EVERYTHING in my world. My emails, contacts, Facebook, SMS, .. everything is in it. This is my first BlackBerry and by all means I will NEVER go back to a typical phone. This phone is definately in a class of it's own and nothing else can compare, i'm thankful that when I am playing with my BlackBerry everyone looks at me in a weird way. I also love the way I can customize it down to the last T when it comes to software.
So this year I am VERY greatful for my BlackBerry.
I'm thankful for my Blackberry because I don't know where I'd be without it. It gets me through school, work, basically my whole day. I really don't see how I could survive without it. I know I would go through some type of withdrawal. I realized when I got my berry that it really is an addiction. Sometimes I feel the urge to go up to random people and have conversations about their berry and ask for their pin. This app would definitely help me to treat my berry better so I really hope I win.
Nice, don't touch my blackberry lol
Protect my personal information and my reputation ^_^
Smart Lock and Wipe!
I'm thankful for the opportunity to win this great app!!
i am thankful for my blackberry because it has become a part of me!
without my blackberry i wouldnt be able to keep track of all my emails and contacts
crackberry gives me and my friends something to talk about!
I am thankful for my blackberry because it provides me with instant access to my FB when I am at work and cannot access it or anywhere else... I also love that I can play games to cure boredom while waiting for movies to start.... waiting in the doctors office, etc.... It is my entertainment most days. Plus if I didn't have my Blackberry I would have never found crackberry.com and have my day filled with reading posts about the great things this little machine can do!
Ah to be able to wipe my BB from afar.
This is what dreams are made of.
would like to try it !!
WIN!!! I need this... lol
I thank my blackberry for keeping me organized.
I am thankful for my Blackberry for it has let me see that the Iphone is for kids. This special piece of equipment has made my life so much easier. Thank you RIM and Blackberry..
I'm in!!! :-)
I am thankful for being able to get my emails instantly, and having a keyboard to type on. For that, I'm thankful for my Bold.
I'm definitely up for this app.
As for thankful well the list wouldn't end.
I survived (so far) a medical condition, a nice toy to play with while in the hospital for almost a month.
The toy was a new Storm, and I'll be on line for version 2.
I miss WIFI capabilities.
Family, changes in life, as well as technology.
I'll stop here?
wipe it clean.
Id love one as well.
i cant live without my BB for work and fun :-)
This is something I could really use,
and although I would gladly pay for it
I would love the feeling of Winning it..
I use my BlackBerry for EVERYTHING.
I was not new to the PDA thing,
having been a Palm supporter since the first
Handpring Treo.
But my Blackberry is so much more reliable.
And reliability, functionality, is what I need in
a PDA/Phone combo.
I love it, and believe this software would make it alot
more secure.
I am thankful for my Blackberry because now I can be contacted 24/7 by my customers and I can work 24 hours a day. I have never been happier! It is soo great that I can never get away from my job or my boss. Hip Hip Hooray!
Would like a copy..
This is a must! Smart app.
I am in for free stuff
I thank my Blackberry everyday for helping me navigate through the wonderful FREE gps maps using googlemaps!
Thank you :-P
I should win since Kevin hasn't replied to my messenger test from yesterday!
I am sooooo thankful for my blackberry because it brings me good news instantaneously, it is developed in my beloved Java programming language and of course because it brought me to CRACKBERRY.COM !!!!! =)
I have a Blackberry Storm from VZW. This is my first Blackberry and I couldn't believe what I had been missing for the past 5 years. This is my first smart phone and I can tell you that I can't live without it. I'm on it about 10 hrs of the day trying to find something to add or change on it (Apps, games, or themes). It's so reliable and all my friends have one. We can all stay connected with the BBM. Oh the BBM 5.0 running on .230 is awesome. Thanks RIM Blackberry.
This is what every BB owner needs. Kudos to its developers. I am a new BB owner of the tour and this should be pre-installed on every BB that RIM makes. RIM is a business platform and I would hate to compromise my clients information that I have stored on here. This application is a no brainer. Thumbs up and keep up the good work.
im in
Here is intersting:
My previous blackberry I left ON THE TOP OF MY CAR when I drove off. I work in a hilly part of Austin (360) so I think it flew into the ravine. I searched numerous times and have given plenty of blood and and ripped clothes back to nature while searching.
Never did find it. :(
I'm still thankful because the GPS is SOOO useful especially when the wife has no sense of direction. I don't have to worry about her reading a map anymore!
First, thanks for the opportunity to have a chance to win a copy of "Smart Lock and Wipe".
One reason I am thankful for my BB is more face time with my wife. I have cut back considerably sitting in front of my PC chacking email, going on the web, playing games, etc. Now, I can be with my wife, catch the incoming emails briefly, etc., and still be "with my wife".
This is sweeter than sweet!!!
Ill take one too. Thanks.
i use this for my 11hr work day in a boring dealership...post all my new cuts, use it in school for both work and personal reasons, can give a million reasons y i missed someones call and besides that...guys have dumped me bc i mpay more attention to my phone than i do to them...LOL...pick me!!!
Hope u all guyz have a good day good luck to all ;)
If it weren't for my blackberry, I would be seriously lost. It keeps me organized as far as letting me know when I work, different promos going on at work, what time to pick up my kids after work. I am so reliant on my blackberry that being away from it causes panic. I am an addict but I can admit it. So I want to say THANK YOU to my blackberry for keeping me complete and organized.... now if it can find me a guy... it would be perfect!
I'd like to get a copy of this because it would make me feel more confident keeping information on my phone knowing I have other securities in place besides a password and encryption. If I don't get my phone back at least I know they don't have personal information.
to be honest i never really liked BB but then i played around with a curve and fell in love with the BB. after a few months of customzing and exploring the bb i left it for a iphone...let me tell you that i had to run back to a bb because it is the best phone out there. i feel complete with my bb. i am now using a bold with tmobile and can wait for the new storm.
Yea.. I guess I am. Seems that Because I have a BB I spend way more time
Maintaining the phones various functions. Which can be a pain. However, it
Is those very same functions and features that I love so much. Just getting
My email on my phone is enough. But we can do so much more. Now let me finally
Win something!
I want this
One for me!!!
This would be a great app for me, thankfully nothing has happened yet, but should it ever, this would be great.
Very cool app! Never heard of this before! Looks slick
hmm where do i begin, my first BB has made me that much organized and put that much data at the tip of my finger. at the same time i am able to keep in touch with people wherever i am with various means, like the great BBM. So yeah im thankful for my BB as well as any other smartphone out there.
This is awesome! Just the kind of thing that I'm looking for!
need it
I am extremely thankful for my BlackBerry. I am in college and if it were not for my BlackBerry, I would not be able to stay on top of my online classes because I also have a full time job. If it were not for the incredible capabilities of my BlackBerry, I could never pass all my classes.
sure would love to win something....and had begged for this for wm...so glad to see it on BB
Yessss. My Blackberry makes my life work, what would I do without it :)
First off my BB is my life. I'm on it all day and night. Just ask my wife... My BB is competing with her snuggle time at bet time... She goes to bed earlier than I do because I'm on my Berry. Now for Smart Lock & Wipe, just the other day I thought I had lost my BB. The first thought that came to mind was, "Isn't there an application that could wipe my BB form remote?" Well fortunately I found my Berry and all was good, but for that time when she was nowhere to be found I was in a panic. Hats off to Magilab for making a remote wipe possible. Thanks CB and Maglab!
PS... Knocking the socks (boots or whatever you may be wearing at the time) always makes up for a little missed snuggle time.
Security is a good thing.
give it to me!
As far as being thankful for our blackberrys, I think we are all on the same page. What device has revolutionized the way we communicate and do business as much as our BlackBerrys? Having tried so many different devices on so many different OSs, I can honestly say nothing compares to my BB. I have been using the Storm since the day it showed up in stores, and I have been hooked ever since. Even with the "oh so bad" .65 and even .75 OS it still made life just that much easier. And surly, we could never go back to anything less (even a MyPod... Sorry, Iphone) ;)
Just a thought...
I'm thankful I have something to do during boring meetings!
Good Peace Of Mind
Please count me in. I had entered a contest before and won, but then realized it wasn't compatable with my phone.
Hope I win!!! lol

I set the width to 201 pixels (to fit the width of my theme's sidebar widget area). I noticed the Like/Recommend text does not shorten below a certain number of pixels. It will even stick out when using the Twenty Eleven theme.
EDIT: Here is a screencap of the exact issue as seen using the Twenty Eleven theme on a sidebar template page and the widget in the sidebar (the linked screen capture is with both width settings at 100px to better illustrate it). Just to be clear I am talking about the part which says "Be the first of your friends to like this." or "Be the first of your friends to recommend this." (this issue occurs with both text displays). I realize that shortening that text is impossible, but I'd like it to display on more than two lines if possible, or at least push more of the text to the second line so the overall width is lower. Any ideas for a solution (or even a workaround)?

Pora was granted parole late last month, having earlier been
denied bail by the High Court at Auckland.
That application was made ahead of a scheduled Privy Council
hearing in London later this year, where Pora will appeal
against his convictions for the rape and murder of Auckland
woman Susan Burdett.
Pora's lawyer Jonathan Krebs said Pora was released today,
but he was unable to say much more because of a parole
condition that forbids Pora having any direct or indirect
contact with the media.
"I just hope that the media and everybody else leaves him
alone and allows him to get on with the process of
reintegration into the community after 21 years.''
At his first trial in 1994, Pora, now 38, was found guilty of
the murder of Ms Burdett, who was beaten with a softball bat
in the bedroom of her south Auckland home in 1992. Pora has
since spent about 21 year behind bars.
He had confessed to police but a retrial was ordered as
doubts began to emerge about his involvement.
After that first trial, serial rapist Malcolm Rewa was
convicted for raping Ms Burdett.
His DNA was found at the scene and at Pora's re-trial in 2000
the Crown argued the two acted together. Pora was again found
guilty but has now been granted leave to appeal against the

Sunny Summer Flowers
I have a drawer full of flower cutters that I hardly ever use :$, so I was very happy with last weeks request for a flower bouquet cake. Loved making this cake, playing with the different colours and trying to make each flower a little bit different than the other.

Does anyone know the code to setup a custom 'first post' for the loop? I want to be able to apply a class which is specific under style.css to my FIRST post only. Anyone have an idea how to do this?
Does anyone know the code to setup a custom 'first post' for the loop? I want to be able to apply a class which is specific under style.css to my FIRST post only. Anyone have an idea how to do this?
Set up a counter variable like $counter = 1; outside of the loop. Then, in the loop, do a if( $counter == 1 ) and add the class to the post. Remember, in CSS, you can give tags several classes.
For example:

....

while you can do:
#post434 { ... }
.bigborder { ... }
.lightbackground { ... }
I hope this helps.
I setup a loop like that, but it's still not working correctly. It shows up under every post, not just the single post. Any other ideas how to setup the single post loop?
are you incrementing the counter at the end of the loop?
Change this line in your loop:

To this:
<div class="post<?php if(!is_single() && $post==$posts[0]) echo ' firstpost';?>">
Add the appropriate style rules to ".firstpost" in your theme's stylesheet.
Ringermaster: Am I still including the $counter = 1; before that or just that single line of code by itself?
Just that one line. No counter.
The "if" statement checks to see if the current post is the first post among all the posts it's going to display. If it is and the post is not the only post (is_single()) then it adds the extra class name.
Perfect, I'm not sure why it wans't working the first time. It seems to be working fine now. thank you for giving me that small piece of code. It seems that under 1.5 it makes it so much easier than having to make a loop and figure out where to end the loop, etc, etc. It makes it quite easy with 1.5.
This didn't work for me the first time, although it does in fact work perfectly.
The problem is that php will set the category as 'post' plus ' firstpost', and having the class '.post firstpost' doesn't work as the browser will be looking for a
<firstpost> tag. So I changed it to this:
<div class="post<?php if(!is_single() && $post==$posts[0]) echo '-first';?>">
Thus, the first post is '.post-first' and every other post is just '.post' .
1) It's CLASS, not category.
2) Having class ="post firstpost" is perfectly valid. It will simply apply the post class CSS then apply the firstpost class CSS. I've seen it done before, and have even done it myself a few times. There' s nothing wrong with it.
1) You're correct, wrong word.
2) Ok, wasn't quite clear on how this was supposed to work. The important part is it does. My modification is for those that want the classes independant of each other, which was my aim.
Thanks for clarifying this to everyone reading this thread.

The Daily Market for Federal Funds
This paper reports overwhelming evidence against the hypothesis that the federal funds rate follows a martingale over the two-week reserve maintenance period, establishing that banks do not regard reserves held on different days of the week to be perfect substitutes. A theoretical model of the federal funds market is proposed that could account for these empirical regularities as the result of line limits, transaction costs, and weekend accounting conventions. The paper concludes that such transaction costs lie at the heart of the liquidity effect that enables the Federal Reserve to change the interest rate on a daily basis.

Truthdigger of the Week: Lawrence Wilkerson
Posted on Sep 2, 2011
Every week, Truthdig recognizes an individual or group of people who spoke truth to power, blew the whistle or stood up in the face of injustice. You can see past winners here, and make your own nomination for our next awardee here.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney launched his long-anticipated memoir this week, a 576-page "grocery store tabloid," according to Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell and this week's Truthdigger of the Week.
A member of the Bush administration from 2002 to 2005, Wilkerson has evolved into an outspoken critic of the Iraq War and has expressed regret for his part in making it happen. He has admitted that he helped put together Colin Powell's presentation to the U.N. Security Council in 2003 pushing for the invasion, and has said it was the "biggest mistake" of his life. But since then, he has been doing his best to make up for that mistake. On Tuesday, Wilkerson said he would be willing to take the stand in criminal court against Cheney. "I'd be willing to testify," he said, "and I'd be willing to take any punishment I'm due."
In an interview with Amy Goodman for "Democracy Now!" Wilkerson dismissed Cheney's book, "In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir," as "singularly insignificant," and said he agrees that Cheney is "not just a political figure with controversial views," as constitutional law attorney Glenn Greenwald has said, "but an actual criminal, that he was centrally involved in a whole variety, not just of war crimes in Iraq, but of domestic crimes as well."

Honorable Mentions
Square, Site wide
This week the U.S. Justice Department sued to keep telecom giant AT&T from acquiring T-Mobile in a deal that would drastically reshape the mobile communications landscape. The complaint filed against AT&T shows that every once in a long while, Uncle Sam can be counted on to not just rubber-stamp another monopoly: "AT&T's elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low-priced rival would remove significant competitive force from the market," it reads. "Thus, unless this acquisition is enjoined, customers of mobile wireless telecommunications services likely will face higher prices, less product variety and innovation, and poorer quality services due to reduced incentives to invest that would exist absent the merger." Thanks for watching our backs, DOJ. And thanks for the nomination, @marinaayvazian.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders fought for his underwater state this week in the wake of Hurricane Irene, calling BS on Rep. Eric Cantor's efforts to turn a natural disaster into yet another excuse to hack away at social programs like Social Security and Medicare. And speaking of Social Security, just last week (Aug. 25) Sanders laid out a plan that he said would keep the program solvent for the next 75 years: Apply the same payroll tax already paid by more than nine out of 10 Americans to those with incomes over $250,000 a year. In nominating Sanders, Truthdig reader Mary said that not only is he "concerned about real people in reality-based reality," but he "has a good perspective about corporate power and understands what needs to be done to restrain corporate bullies."

I will address the issue of "pied pipers" briefly.
There are many,many pied pipers from both the extreme right and left. This is not just limited to politics.
But, addressing only political pied pipers, I think it valid to classify Amy Goodman as a pied piper. In the ten years since 9/11, I cannot identify any significant difference "Democracy Now" has made to political discourse in America or any change either.
It is comfortable to "report" on events without ever doing anything meaningufl to effectuate real change.
What has changed positively since 9/11 because of anything Democracy Now! has achieved. Are we more democratic. Has the move to fascism lessened because of the efforts of Amy Goodman. She gives speeches [fees?], whe sells books, and she reports on democracy now!
How has it changed anything? We "feel better"! Do we really? Safer? Saner? More Democratic? I think not.
I think we are merely mesmerized like the pied piper of lore by their "reporting" into inaction.
They want our money! Donate! Donate! Donate! Buy from them on line in their stores, purchase their mugs, their tee shirts, buy their books. Support the celebrities that support them.
Ralph Nader! He has donated to Democracy Now! and gets a voice he clearly does not deserve on a national program. One pied piper assisting another one. Same thing with Thom Hartmann, etc., the list is endless.
If, if only they actually motivated people, leading by example, to actually participate in the political process effectively and led the way with a viable third party that they fully support and engage in themselves.
They do not do any of these things. They report. They rant, or rave or complain but they never actually DO anything that will upset their marketing of themselves and their programs. They make a very, very good living off of our desire for a real political party that reflects our democratic aspirations but they do nothing meaningful about it.
Michael Moore, he recently spoke at an event. Urging everyone else "to get involved". Run for office, take back your party, etc. etc.
Then, HE will make a "documentary" about it and gain more wealth for himself but he will not be an active participant.
If any of these pied pipers were REAL, we would already have a viable third party in America and the GOP [Greed Overwhelming Principle] would be relegated to the dust bin of history.
They take their money, enrich themselves, and the rest of us, like the children in the story, are led away to our fate, whatever it may be.
I think we need to call these pied pipers to account. Enough of the rhetoric. It is time for them to lead the way and put deed together with word and demonstrate a genunine commitment to the change they claim they want for America.
Democracy Now!,? Really? Okay, let us see some democracy now in action.

However late,Lawrence Wilkerson hopefully becomes the first of many true Americans who have regained the Courage to make it their undeniable Duty to point their fingers at those responsible for this reckless conspiracy to attack Iraq back in 2003.
Nevertheless,if there would ever be any > justice done < in this Country those despicable,low-life Bush/Cheney - NeoCon/Zionist Insiders,which were part of this "symbolic arrogance,together with their self serving proclaimed righteousness" - must be getting their day in court and deserve to be locked up for the rest of their Lives.

I have to agree. For one war criminal to condemn another one from the same administration is not very inspiring.
Apparently, wilkerson is a war criminal with a conscience and it bothers him. Not enough to turn himself in the an International tribunal for prosecution, though.
Just enough for him to be willing to lay the whole thing off on Cheney because he knows Cheney literally has no heart, it was replaced with a pump, but he has no conscience either and will never go to trial for his misdeeds.
I guess, pathetic as it is, this is just another one of those times when the war criminal gets off scott free.
If this were a world war and America had just lost it. You can bet Bush and Cheney would both be scurrying off to South America to hide out with others of their ilk.
Since it was not a world war and America won the war, they have nothing to fear, except themselves. I hope they have endless nightmares and the spirits of the tortured and murdered visit them often causing them restless sleep.
By Patrick, September 2, 2011 at 2:57 pm Link to this comment
Using the criteria set at the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1945, several members of the Bush administration could (and SHOULD) be prosecuted for war crimes. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Powell, Yoo, heck—maybe even Wilkerson himself.
I agree with Redwood Guy. NOW you stand up?? Powell should have had the guts and integrity to tell his bosses he would not go to the U.N. with their bullshit, resign, and tell the nation why. The guy had some credibility, and some respect, it might have made a difference. But now he has the blood of thousands on his hands, too.

Nardwuar is immortalized by Brother Ali in this new track built around samples from the records given to him in their last interview. Ali writes:
I've had the pleasure of being interviewed and featured in some of the most incredible publications but the most entertaining and interesting interviews Ive ever had was with the one and only Nardwuar. During our interview he gave me The original program to a Muhammad Ali exhibition fight in Vancouver and several records. First thing I did when I got home from the tour was listen through the records and make a beat from one of them. I ended up recording this song.

Vermont made a calculated decision by sitting T.J. Sorrentine and Taylor Coppenrath for Sunday's game at Maine.
The Catamounts knew that losing at Maine was worth minimizing the risk of not having Sorrentine and/or Coppenrath for the America East tournament.
"I never thought we could get an at-large berth," retiring Vermont coach Tom Brennan said Tuesday.
Vermont lost to Maine 87-66 to end the regular season and extinguish any hope of an at-large berth, as remote as that seemed for the America East, a league that never has received two bids.
Brennan said Sorrentine's strained hamstring, which he re-aggravated in last Thursday's win over Maryland-Baltimore County, is serious enough that it could affect him in the tournament, which begins this weekend at Binghamton. Coppenrath had the flu.
Brennan is a realist. He knows he needs his two best players healthy for a run at a Vermont-record three straight NCAA Tournament berths. All of this talk about Vermont getting an at-large berth was just that -- talk.
"We've got to win the tournament and hopefully we can here at home," Brennan said.
The America East tries to protect its top team, like some other leagues do, by putting the final on the home court of the highest seed. But Vermont still has to win two games in New York to get back to Burlington.
The drama of a potential Vermont-BU final has been zapped a bit, as BU lost to Northeastern at home and at Binghamton down the stretch, dropping the Terriers to the 3-seed behind Northeastern.
Not having a comparably-ranked team on its heels certainly hurt Vermont's chances for an at-large berth, too. The selection committee isn't going to be as sympathetic if Vermont were to lose at home in a final to Boston University or Northeastern.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is in a similar situation. The Panthers know they must win the Horizon League title to get an NCAA berth.
Any talk of the Panthers' getting a bid is probably just talk, once again.
"We should win it, and our mind-set is that we don't want to share any conference titles," UWM coach Bruce Pearl said of winning the regular-season title. The Panthers won at Purdue, Hawaii and Manhattan, but that doesn't conjure up an at-large berth.
"The No. 1 seed hasn't won this tournament the last three years, so ..." Pearl said, sounding a cautionary tone. The danger team could be Butler, which led the Panthers at the half in both of their meetings and a team that scares Pearl if they were to meet in the tournament.
"This is a very competitive and balanced league," Pearl said.
Most of them are.
With that, here are the story lines to watch as the smaller conference events unfold:
Atlantic Sun: Gardner-Webb is on the verge of a remarkable turnaround. The NCAA came down hard with scholarship reductions because of extra benefit and recruiting violations, but didn't take away the postseason. Good thing. Gardner-Webb enters the conference tournament as the 1-seed with a 13-7 league record (16-11 overall).
Big South: If the Big South wants to send a team that is worthy, Winthrop must win this tournament. The 24-5 record and 15-1 mark in the league prove this team can play with the best at its level.
Southern Conference: Quick, name the team that has received the least amount of coverage by us that probably deserved much more this season? Davidson. The Wildcats dominated this conference and are one of the last undefeated conference teams. But that's probably why they won't win the league tournament and get the bid. Everyone wants a piece of this squad.
Colonial Athletic: Old Dominion could be this year's Utah State, a mid- to low-major school with a lofty record that gets beat in its conference tournament. There are plenty of teams (we like Drexel here) that could easily spoil ODU's run to the Dance.
Big Sky: Montana State is the team to watch to disrupt Portland State's run to an NCAA berth. Portland State is rather new to the Division I ranks and Heath Schroyer has the Vikings on the verge of their first-ever NCAA berth. Keep your eye on this coach. Schroyer is a star in the making with his Morgan Wooten pedigree and ties to coaches out West.
Big West: Every high major school had better root hard for Pacific. If the Tigers win the Big West tournament then this league gets one bid. But don't sleep on Utah State (nice revenge factor here), Cal State Northridge or Cal State Fullerton).
MAAC: If the league wants to send a team that could win a game in the tournament like last season (Manhattan over Florida), Niagara must win this tournament. Rider could easily beat Niagara for the title, and don't sleep on Fairfield and Manhattan, but Niagara has the talent to cause fits (see Providence in the Preseason NIT opener).
Mid-Continent: Oral Roberts is a legit first-round upset team, but ORU has to get past UMKC and Valparaiso first. They need to win this thing for the Mid-Continent to have a chance to win a game in the field of 65.
MEAC: Coppin State coach Fang Mitchell has his team atop the standings and tied for first. The best story out of this league is Fang. He's coming off early-season surgery to remove a tumor. He's a class guy who epitomizes college athletics.
MAC: There are six teams at 10-6 in the league, so the possibilities are endless for the tournament. Ohio still has a chance to be the No. 1 seed if the Bobcats win out. This league deserves two teams but whether the selection committee sees the same thing we do is another story.
Missouri Valley: You just know that Northern Iowa's win over Wichita State Monday night is an indication that this tournament is headed for a fun-filled week. Realistically, Southern Illinois, Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Creighton and Illinois State all could win the league and the MVC could send as many as three teams to the Dance.
Northeast: None of these teams has shown that it could win a game in the first round. Monmouth has the best shot but it seems very remote. If things break a certain way, the NEC rep could land in the play-in game.
Ohio Valley: Tennessee Tech has the inside track but anyone who thinks that Murray State is done doesn't know this team's history. The Racers still have the talent to make a run and get back to the Dance.
Patriot: Holy Cross coach Ralph Willard is adamant that the Crusaders can win a first-round game. Why couldn't Bucknell do it, too? The Bison won at Pittsburgh and at Saint Joseph's. The Patriot League might have a chance to win a game in this year's tournament, depending on whether it can get a decent seed. But one of the right two teams has to win this tournament.
Southland: Southeastern Louisiana was on the home-court win streak list but didn't go to the NCAA Tournament last season. Maybe this is the year after staying atop the league standings this season.
SWAC: The SWAC didn't play in the opening round game for the first time in three seasons last March. Not sure if that would occur again. The SWAC has a lofty 4-23 mark in the NCAA Tournament. Alabama A&M must get the bid for any chance at win No. 5.
Sun Belt: This league makes no sense. Denver is in the Sun Belt? Geography was never a focal point for this group. But this league has offered some fantastic finishes recently at Western Kentucky and at Little Rock. There are capable teams at UALR, Western Kentucky, Denver and Louisiana-Lafayette, all that could cause fits in the first round of the NCAAs.
WCC: Gonzaga and Saint Mary's should meet in the final next Monday. But the semis, potentially with San Francisco and Santa Clara (on its home court), could be two of the best games of the week. Those matchups on Sunday would pit four of the better teams in the West. If USF or Santa Clara wins this tourney, it's not a reach to think about three teams out of the WCC.

Request for mediation
Hello. You requested mediation at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation. Do you have any prefernece as to mediator? There is a list of current mediators at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee. I'm sorry for any delay in responding to your request. Regards -- sannse (talk) 15:24, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC) (mediation committee)
I agreed to mediation - not my initiative. Not Ed Poor, nor Stevertigo, in my preference. Someone with a university background in a science, computing or mathematics area would be better; not essential, though.
Charles Matthews 15:29, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I should have said "agreed to". I believe Anthere has a background in computing and science, my degree is in biochemistry (I'm very out of practice though). I'm not sure about the others but will look further once Kevin baas has responded. Thanks for the reply -- sannse (talk) 15:45, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Hello Charles. Kevin has expressed a preference for Angela and she is available. She doesn't have a science/mathematics/computing background (although she does have a degree), but I don't think that this is vital - in particular because she will not be making decisions on article content. Would she be acceptable to you or would you prefer to discuss an alternative mediator? -- sannse (talk) 19:26, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Well, if you say no 'decisions on article content', isn't that prejudging the process? I know Kevin was saying something like that. The first of my mediation points relates to improving the content of a group of articles. And the situation has arisen in relation to a specific VfD discussion. However, I will accept your recommendation of the best mediator, most likely to make progress here. Charles Matthews 20:17, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I don't say that no decisions will be made during the process, just that it isn't the mediators role to make those decisions - she is not an arbitrator in other words. But the exact process of mediation would be up to the mediator in question and the participants so I won't comment more here. I will talk to Angela, and hopefully she will contact you all soon. Thanks for the reply -- sannse (talk) 20:35, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I've been assigned as the mediator between you and Kevin. Do you have any preference as to how the mediation takes place? I would prefer it be done by email, but you also have the option of using a page on Wikipedia, a page on meta:, the mediation boards or the #mediation.wikipedia IRC channel. The request for mediation has been moved to Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Archive 6. Before the mediation starts, please can you let me know that you agree to abide by the conditions laid out in Wikipedia:Confidentiality during mediation. Thanks. Angela. 01:08, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)
By email please. I will of course treat the mediation as confidential. I'll go and read that page shortly. Charles Matthews 07:36, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I have sent you an email about some of the aims Kevin has for the mediation. Angela. 18:43, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)
I have looked at said page, think I understand what is posted there; and don't have any problem with abiding by it. Charles Matthews 18:46, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Horseshoe map
(William M. Connolley 10:10, 2004 May 14 (UTC)) Charles, could you have a look at this (please) and check that the function as specified is correct. It looks wrong to me to I'm scared of venturing in to Real Maths :-). x > 1/2 means 1-2x < 0 and the point disappears off the unit square (the map *is8 on the unit square isn't it: it doesn't say so in the article).
2x - 1 looks like a better bet. Someone has cut the article right back. I found web links immediately by googling 'horseshoe map Smale'. These have pictures, which show the kind of thing. Yes, this should be on the unit square. Charles Matthews 10:17, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
WMC: OK, I swapped it to 2x-1. I'm not at all sure about the deletions: whoever cut that back seemed to be rather over-sure of themselves.
Hi Charles. Yes, I'll accept the nomination if you wish to do so. Thanks for your confidence in me and regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 14:49, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
Me (Tosha)
Thank you for support, in fact I realized that I probably do not need to be an administrator, but do not want to remove it, it is fun to see what people think about me.

Say hello to Lyonya Vaserstein from me, some time. Charles Matthews 15:43, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)
TeX ain't working, e.g.
gives an error, which is about as simple as it gets. (some executable isn't there). CSTAR 15:31, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Well I guess it's working now.
What's the policy on in-line TeX? It used to be awful, and desirable to avoid, but I notice more use of it now (e.g. in the added stuff on Paley-Wiener) Am I imagining things or is inline TeX better displayed.
CSTAR 21:43, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It might depend on one's browser; it could be that the recent format changes have helped in some way (it used to be that it would display badly because of the vertical spacing). Since I'm very ignorant of TeX, I hardly use it myself.
Charles Matthews 06:18, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Peano axioms
Do you know much about model theory? I'm in a discussion with someone at Talk:Natural number about the Peano axioms, there seems to be some confusion between 2nd- and 1st-order versions of them. If you have any comments...thanks. Revolver 12:14, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The page isn't the clearest - but what is said about the second order formulation seems to be right: the normal way of thinking about induction is phrased 'any property' (second order), but there is a first order (axiom schema, but that page doesn't yet exist) way of saying it once per property P, that can be 'said' in the first-order language. Then there will be non-standard models of the first-order version.

Mathematics publications list
Seeing that there was a fairly new and underpopulated list of publications in mathematics, I was considering adding to it, when I noticed there is also a list of mathematics publications, books etc. in a sub-section in the list of mathematics history topics. I think it would be a good idea to merge the two lists - do you have strong views on where the merged list should reside ? (I am happy to do the work, but I didn't want to just dive in and move things around unilaterally.) Gandalf61 14:45, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
I assume you mean just to merge the publications sublist. It should probably move from the history list to the list of publications, in that there are other such publications lists.
Charles Matthews 14:49, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I just meant I would merge the publications sublist. As you suggested, I have now moved this sublist to the list of publications in mathematics page. Gandalf61 15:30, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
OK, I've added a forward link from the history page. About time we had some Greek mathematics ... Charles Matthews 15:42, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Miller and Shankland articles
Hi Charles
I noticed today that both the article on Dayton Miller and Robert Shankland include statements like this:
"Computer analysis after Miller's death on the little available data has proven that the shifts were statistically significant. Lately, there has been more of Miller's papers from the possession of R. S. Shankland to surface and they are awaiting future analysis."
In short, the articles imply that Einstein's theory of Special Relativity has no basis in experimental evidence. This is a common claim of crackpots on the internet and the real world, and definitely completely contrary to the deeply rooted convictions of everyone in mainstream physics (whose beliefs were probably once based experiments much more accurate than attempts to measure "aether wind" from particle physics or atomic physics, but are these days probably more akin to religious beliefs taught to them in their academic cradles)
anyway, i have half a mind to just delete the offending comments, but well, that seems contrary to wikipedia policy. I was also slightly put off by the long list of references to publications by Shankland. How do i know that one of those references doesn't actually point to supporting evidence of what the articles claim? I do know that it was Shankland who first rebutted Millers results, so i think it unlikely that any of Shankland's publications will be making those claims. It would, of course, be an embarrassing situation if a statistically significant signal for aether drift has ever been measured.
To recap: it is a commonly held crackpot belief that Miller measured aether, and a commonly held scientist's belief that Shankland proved that Miller did no such thing. I think a physics article should present first and foremost the scientific view (although a presentation of the controversy would be good. Maybe that could have its own article though?)
advice appreciated Lethe 02:25, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
PS: I don't know if you are the right guy to talk to about this? or whether it would be better to just make an edit and post my complaints on the talk pages?
- You're probably best moving the offending statements onto the talk pages, and give your reasons for contesting them there. You may still stir up a hornet's nest ... Charles Matthews 08:09, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
List of go topics
Charles, I've renamed the article "List of go topics" to "List of Go topics"—Go is a proper noun. Your "New pages" wikipage links to the old name, and I'd rather not edit your personal pages directly. Cluster 04:22, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Well, I don't know why, really. Do you intend to make it list of Chess topics?
Charles Matthews 08:06, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
War poets
Don't know whether your new article indicates an abiding interest. If so, you are probably aware of our SSF page at www.sassoonery.demon.co.uk/sassoonsocy. Deb 16:32, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the link - Sassoon isn't actually a favourite of mine. I felt I should put something there, and a bit more than a placeholder, as I'd created a war poet link on another page. Charles Matthews 16:36, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Okay - but there's other interesting literary stuff on the main site - [www.sassoonery.demon.co.uk]. Deb 16:43, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
What I actually do with poetry, currently, is to go through (too) many anthologies to see who gets included at any one period. This means I get sidetracked into 'collecting' minor poets, mostly. Anyway, that is supposed to be a hobby - my previous hobby became a bit serious! Charles Matthews 16:46, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Currently that is quite a horrid article and I would like your help in improving it. See that talk page for more. Thanks, - Taxman 02:30, Jun 23, 2004 (UTC)
OK, I've restructured the article, moving out the large chunk of PD encyclopedia text that was dominating it, and replacing the intrusive calculs topic box by a category tag. I've also cut down the intro section by shifting parts of it lower down the page. This should have opened things up for someone else to go into the text and improve it. The notation section should at least link to some of the articles on Newton's notation, etc.
Charles Matthews 07:04, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Undeletion request
It's been a long time since we have talked. That article a long time ago called "Real definition of a Republic" has been changed to "Classic definition of republic". It is now a professional clean article, complete and thorough.
I need your help.
Need support on an undelete. Talk:Nazism/Seperate-National Socialism I would like your support to undelete this and restore as a proper standing article. Some content was moved to the Nazism article and has been made a redirect. The Nazi article is too long. *National Socialism* was not created by either Mussolini nor Hitler and the history of its development needs to have a seperate article upon it. Please see Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion.WHEELER 18:38, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Well, I've glanced at the article. I see evidence of serious research there; I also see plenty with which I'd want to take issue. So, let me urge you to do something with this material, to add to WP's coverage of the issues involved. I don't spend time here on twentieth-century history articles, so I don't feel well-informed on what exactly the coverage is. I'm not at all sure that an undelete would serve best. By the way, 'separate'. Charles Matthews 18:47, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
For your comments just now at RFA -- I agree with you entirely, and worry that mediation is fast becoming merely a tool used in argument to get the upper hand. Well, we'll do what we can. As long as I'm here, I should mention two other things. One is a thank you for your hard work -- you spend time in a corner of the WP I don't get to much, but when I see what you're doing, I marvel at the amount of time and meticulous care it requires. I doubt I can ever be of much help to you, but if I can, please do let me know. Secondly, as I've mentioned to dozens of people here (it seems) I will be in Rutland on my honeymoon in July, and I don't know much about it, so I'm taking advice about nice places to see, etc. I notice from your user page you're from Cambridge (well, you are often there, at least) and I know that's somewhat close. Perhaps you'd be willing to take a moment and offer some thoughts for what might be nice to look into in the area? We will be without a car, so purely dependent on public transit (buses and trains, perhaps taxis in a pinch, I suppose). Thanks for the advice in advance, and for your work here in general -- Jwrosenzweig 21:32, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Honeymoon in Rutland - great choice! Cambridge is a nice one-day visit, from London or elsewhere. Everything vital is walking distance from the centre, but you can also pick up an open-top tourist bus that takes a loop out into the countryside if you want. My preferred route is The Backs: Queens'-Kings'-Clare-Trinity Colleges, through Trinity Great Court coming from the Wren Library side, into St. Johns and then Magdalene. Trouble is, colleges often charge for entry, so you might just want to walk along Queens' Road starting from the bridge over Silver Street. That takes you near Kettles' Yard, house/museum (well worth seeing, afternoons, also a gallery).

Paradoxism and Neutrosophy on vfd/old
Hello Charles. I wonder if you would take a look at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Old under the heading "Paradoxism and Neutrosophy" and perhaps either vote or process the item as you see fit. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 21:18, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hah! Well worth ignoring, I'm sure. Self-promotion, without a doubt. I'd imagine it's pretty well content-free - is your proposal to push this stuff off WP entirely? Actually, don't answer that; correct thing at VfD is just to post articles one by one, and have a case-by-case, agenda-free process if at all possible. Charles Matthews 21:23, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

By Angeliki Koutantou and Harry Papachristou
ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's first big privatisation drew little international interest from major companies on Wednesday, highlighting how steep a challenge the country faces to meet its ambitious bailout targets amid a deep economic crisis.
Athens attracted two bids in the sale of a 33 percent stake in betting monopoly OPAP <OPAr.AT>, one of its most valuable assets with a total market value of about 2.2 billion euros (1.87 billion pounds) on the Athens bourse.
Bidders include activist U.S. investment fund Third Point, which made fat profits on a speculative investment in deeply discounted Greek government bonds last year, privatisation agency HRADF said in a statement.
The other bid came from Emma Delta, a group controlled by a Greek ship-owner George Melisanidis and Czech investor Jiri Smecj.
Other, better-known bidders from the gaming and investment industries that were initially interested in OPAP decided to quit the race, including German gaming equipment firm Gauselmann <GAUS.UL>, gaming software group Playtech <PTEC.L>, private equity firm BC Capital and Chinese conglomerate Fosun <0656.HK>.
Such players were probably still reluctant to invest in Greece, analysts said.
"Many investors were probably too frightened to take part," said Takis Zamanis, Athens-based chief trader at Beta Securities.
The country is mired in regulatory uncertainty and its deepest peace-time recession and is still at risk of missing its bailout targets and having to quit the euro.
"Ideally, there should not be just funds with short-term interest but big players active in gaming with strong know-how," said Euroxx Securities analyst Yiannis Sinapis.
Italy's gaming major Lottomatica <LTO.MI> declined to comment on a Greek media report that it had a 10 percent minority stake in Emma Delta, one of the bidders.
The financial offers will be revealed in a few days at a board meeting, HRADF said. Greece aims the sale to cover a large part of its 2.6 billion euro privatisation target this year.
OPAP is a test case for Greece's ambitious privatisation programme, a key element in its 240-billion-euro bailout.
Athens has been dragging its feet on privatisations since its first EU/IMF rescue in 2010. It has raised a disappointingly low 2 billion euros from asset and licence sales, angering its international creditors such as Germany and the IMF.
OPAP alone has contributed about half of the 2 billion raised so far, to extend its monopoly rights and acquire new gaming licences.
The company is free of debt and Greece's most profitable by far, with a return on equity ratio of 49.2, according to ThomsonReuters data.
The debt crisis has not killed off Greeks' punting habits, who still count among Europe's most ardent gamblers. OPAP generated a free cash flow of 531 million euros last year, according to Thomson Reuters data.
OPAP expects operating cash flow of 1.28 billion euros in 2014-2016, it said in a 10-year business plan unveiled in February, suggesting that buyers might recoup their money in a few years.
However, the company's outlook is cloudy. Analysts expect future profitability to be severely hit by a 30 percent tax on gross gaming revenue that the cash-strapped government slapped on the company in January.
Net income in 2013-2016 is expected to collapse to an average annual 184 million euros from 553 million in 2009-2012, according to analysts' forecasts and historical data collected by ThomsonReuters.
The company's expansion plans in electronic and online games might come to naught if competitors such as William Hill <WMH.L> and Stanley Bet succeed in a court challenge against its sports betting and lottery monopoly rights, which expire in 2020 and 2030 respectively.
The European Court of Justice said last year that OPAP must be tightly regulated for its monopoly to be in line with EU law. A Greek court, which had asked for ECJ guidance on the case, is expected to deliver a final verdict later this year.
OPAP has the monopoly in sports betting by 2020 and in lotteries by 2030. It also holds an exclusive licence to launch video lottery terminals.

Decoteau is currently engaged in two projects. The first is a book project focusing on epistemic contestations over definitions of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She has engaged in archival research on the US federal vaccine court proceedings on autism where the controversial link between childhood vaccinations and autism development was forced to stand trial. And she is in the middle of a two-year qualitative project, funded by the National Science Foundation, focusing on Somali refugee parents of children with autism in Minneapolis and Toronto. She is interested in understanding what makes a group of people forge a knowledge community around a particular theory of autism causation, and what role race, class and nationality might play in peoples' understandings of autism, as well as their navigation of the existing health system. This research on the formation of epistemic communities and social movements on autism has profound implications for understanding health behavior and the interaction of laypeople with scientific expertise.
The second project focuses on women working in South Africa's informal economy and explores the relationship between 'transactional' sexual practices and sex work in contemporary Johannesburg. Drawing on ethnographic and qualitative fieldwork, the project engages with theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Viviana Zelizer to make sense of the ways in which poor, urban women in contemporary South Africa use gift and commodity exchange as symbolic distinctions as they simultaneously recognize the increasing commodification of their sexuality.
As an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Decoteau teaches undergraduate and graduate sociological theory as well as courses in the sociology of health and medicine.
