Sen. John McCain compares Obama-Castro handshake to Hitler
PHOENIX — Arizona Sen. John McCain compared a Tuesday handshake between President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro to that shared between former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler prior to World War II.
According to the Washington Post, McCain made the comments after Obama attended a remembrance ceremony for former South African President Nelson Mandela.
"It gives Raul some propaganda to continue to prop up his dictatorial, brutal regime, that's all," McCain said sarcastically.
McCain then took things a step further.
"Neville Chamberlain shook hands with Hitler," he said, referring to the British prime minister's infamous handshake with the German dictator as Britain was negotiating Germany's takeover of the Sudentenland. The agreement paved the way for the spread of Germany's military across Europe.
McCain said Obama never should have shaken hands with Castro because Cuba still has Americans imprisoned.
Other Republican leaders said Obama should have used the moment to talk to Castro about human rights.

Day of the Dead is an epic tribute to the music and artistry of the Grateful Dead, curated by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National. They have brought together some of their favourite musicians to reinterpret the songs and sounds of the Dead for a new generation. 59 tracks and over 5 hours of music makes the album a landmark to get lost in, to discover hidden treasures and to make your own playlists for whatever mood you're in. Covers by The War On Drugs, Kurt Vile, Bill Callahan, Courtney Barnett, Anohni, Wilco, Mumford & Sons, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Flaming Lips, Stephen Malkmus, Cass McCombs, Tim Hecker, Lucinda Williams, Perfume Genius, Fucked Up, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, The Tallest Man On Earth and others.
"Possibilities" is an intimate documentary about Herbie Hancock and his in-studio collaborations with a dozen formidable pop recording artists, collaborations that explore the unexpected, like jazz improvisations. The film is also about how Herbie's unique world view shapes a creative environment that encourages artists to step outside the velvet prison of easy expectations. "The hip stuff," Herbie tells Trey Anastasio, in a scene from the film, "is outside the comfort zone." "Possibilities" follows Herbie over a year and a half collaborating with musical icons Carlos Santana, Sting, Angelique Kidjo, Annie Lennox and Paul Simon, young superstars Christina Aguilera, John Mayer, Trey Anastasio and Jonny Lang and newcomers Joss Stone, Raul Midon, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan. The film also puts Herbie's latest work in the context of his extraordinary musical career, and includes rarely seen archival footage of Herbie with the Miles Davis Quintet in 1962; Herbie leading his Headhunters.

Moving date between now and June 1st. Quite, easy going person. Works full time in maintenance and gardening department for aged care in Barossa valley. Would like somewhere between Gawler and Nuriootpa. Occasional drinker (not very often or much though) and a trying to quit out side smoker. Likes the quite life. Divorced about 1.5 -2 years ago. I don't go out much, prefer to stay home and game or work in my shed. Looking around $150 plus bills. Male or female house mate(s) ok and any age. Kids and animals fine too. Like I said, easy going.
Hi! Im a 21 year old male that loves playing sport but will be focusing work at NAB bank in Nuriootpa. Have alot of experience in share houses as I have been living in a boarding house at school and spent 3 years living on res at uni, living with heaps of different people. Im a very easy going person, coming off a farm in NSW so I don't mind pets if you have some of your own. Most days I will be at work in Nuriootpa as I now work full time there and then some afternoons I will be training with the local cricket/ football teams. I move down to SA in late feb (around the 20th) and would like to move in straight away. I currently do not know how long I will be staying but have been given a minimum time frame of 3 months but will likely be there longer. Happy to have a smaller stay and re assess after a couple of months. Looking forward to hearing back from you! Cheers - Martin Brown
Hey there. I'm an easygoing kind of guy. Enjoy some music and the occasional wine, or a beer with a mate. I'm an Australia bred "i Tie." Wouldn't mind sharing some down time with a relaxed house mate or two. I Like my space sometimes, though I get that at work. And like you, I enjoy good food ( and can cook ).
Hey there! My name is Demi, I am a 20 year old female student from the Netherlands who's extremely excited to study at RMIT for a semester. I am very sporty; love windsurfing, ice-skating and cycling and sometimes get excited about things easily; always in for trying out new things. That's why I have taken courses in basically any discipline. Next to studying and sports I am most passionate about making documentaries, designing buildings and talking to random strangers. I love to have great company, am very social and bond easily, but I am very comfortable being on my own too. I cannot sit still; I hardly ever watch tv and wake up fairly early- believing that the early bird catches the worm (or runs into 17 deers- as happened during my morning adventure last week.) I easily adapt to situations and people and I think that's very important in living together. Looking forward to meet my future housemate(s)!
I work and study part time. I am reliable and very clean. I am currently studying medical science at uni SA I look forward to moving in with you Wayne
Im an international student

You can learn about a culture by looking at iconic artwork or inspiring architecture — and also by examining seemingly mundane cultural products like dolls.
Dana Professor of Anthropology Loring Danforth makes that point when he teaches the course "Myth, Folklore, and Popular Culture."
"The first book we read," he says, "is Barbie's Queer Accessories," by Erica Rand, the college's Whitehouse Professor of Art and Visual Culture.
Rand's book, combined with Barbie's powerful and familiar image, provides a "good vehicle to get people thinking about gender, class, sexuality, sexual orientation, and race in American culture," he says.
But Barbie is only half the story.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"We worked on a sample test. The student's class is doing advanced mechanism problems and we worked through several examples. We did some acetoacetic ester synthesis problems. I will send an additional problem set and a solved mechanism problem."
"We covered addition reactions of alkenes, introduction to organic synthesis, reactions to create epoxides, reactions of epoxides, mechanisms, stereochemistry, and selectivity."
"Today we worked on practice questions from the first chapter of the student's book. We covered translating structural formulas into Lewis structures and vice versa. We also covered resonance hybrids, and how to identify their major and minor contributors. In the process we reviewed general rules for stability. He says our session today solidified the concepts for him. We will meet at the same time next week, and plan on reviewing chapters two and three."
"We went over carbohydrate organic chemistry this session. We reviewed Fisher projections and how to draw 5 and 6 membered sugars. It took us a while to go over this since it seems to be a very complex concept, however, the student understood it in the end."
"We discussed the stability of cycloalkanes. We talked about the reasons cyclohexane is more stable than the other cycloalkanes. We then went on to discuss the different chair conformations of cyclohexane and how to determine which one of the conformations would be the most stable."
"Today, I met with the student, and we went over the theory behind proton NMR spectroscopy. I discussed with her briefly about the theory behind NMR (nuclear spin, applied magnetic field, shielding/deshielding), as well as how we can utilize NMR readouts to give information about protons and their environments (the locations of protons with respect to functional groups that remove electron density, the effect of vicinal hydrogens causing signals to split, and the magnitude of the signal indicating the number of hydrogens in equivalent environments). She had a series of practice problems that she had emailed me a few days prior to our meeting. Together, we worked through some of these problems, and I helped her deduce the structure of the molecules using clues given by the molecular structure of the molecule and NMR signals."

Tumor associated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are therapeutic agents when used as selective carriers of cytotoxic agents to malignancies. This hypothesis is tested in animal model systems with mAbs directed toward antigens associated with human disease. The cytocidal agents employed are particle emitting radionuclides. The relative efficacy is evaluated in the appropriately validated murine tumor xenograft model system. The radionuclides chosen for study focus on appropriate alpha emitters and beta emitters. Current research continues to focus on the beta-emitting alpha particle source, Pb-212, in parallel with the alpha emitter, At-211. Ongoing pre-clinical trials employ the chelating agents 1B4M-DTPA (aka MX-DTPA or tiuxetan) or CHX-A (double prime) DTPA both now being well established in clinical applications and in the former, a component of, Zevalin. The chemistry that makes Zevalin, the 1st FDA approved radiolabeled antibody therapeutic, possible was developed by the Chemistry Section. Nearly all ongoing studies now employ the 3rd generation bifunctional chelating agent, CHX-A (double prime) DTPA for sequestering In-111, Y-90, Bi-213, and Lu-177. Ongoing studies continue to validate use of CHX-A (double prime) DTPA in PET imaging with the cyclotron produced (refined and purified by the Chemistry Section) Y-86 through the number of PET imaging studies recently reported by the Chemistry Section regarding applications of Y-86 for PET imaging targeting HER2 and HER1(EGFR) for visualizing a variety of diseases such ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, prostate cancer. Related studies on Y-86 for PET imaging targeting HER1(EGFR) for imaging mesothelioma has been submitted for publication. Complementary to the development of Y-86 for immunoPET, the Chemistry Section proceeds with study on the development of a novel and superior bifunctional chelating agent for use with Zr-89 for immunoPET as the current technology is cumbersome and not stable in vivo leading to bone deposition of the freed Zr-89. The first 2 stages in this effort has been completed providing lead compounds of significantly greater Zr089 complex stability. Thus, pre-clinical evaluation of novel bifunctional chelating agents and linkers for targeted radiotherapy continues primarily to refine conjugation chemistry functional group options and radiolabeling improvements. These refinements stem from the provision of agents for peptide chemistry as well as for site-specific conjugation strategies amenable for use with both radio-lanthanides and alpha-particle emitting radionuclides. The Section has created novel linkage chemistry agents for site-specific linkage strategies such as click chemistry and carbohydrate modification strategies. Pre-clinical At-211 studies have been initiated with dose escalation survival studies targeting HER2 linking At-211 to trastuzumab employing the linker reagent, N-Me-SAPS. Replication of these studies with inclusion of toxicity assessments will provide an optimal dose for extension forward into long-term therapy studies. At-211 has been produced and supplied to collaborators at Johns Hopkins in an effort to establish an At-211 users/ investigators consortium to accelerate progress on evaluation of the therapy potentials of this radionuclide. The highly extensive and focused pre-clinical investigation into the use of Pb-212 continues for the treatment of disseminated intraperitoneal disease, e.g., from either ovarian or pancreatic cancer. Development of Pb-212 has continued through to an open Phase I clinical trial that treated an 8th patient in May of 2013 and continues to accrue patients. Unfortunately, the trial was relocated to UAB due to unresponsive leadership within the NCI. Murine toxicology experiments were completed by the Section in support of the IND along with numerous additional documents, studies, and SOPs developed by the Section in insure that this Phase 1 trial, the first ever in the world using Pb-212, would proceed forward. Thus, once again this Section has successfully been at the forefront of truly novel translational bench to bedside research. Evaluation of Pb-212 with specific mAbs, use of combined radiolabeled mAbs, and their combinations with chemotherapeutics continues systematically. The hypothesis that single doses of a single, targeted radionuclide lacks a rational basis for cancer therapy;combined modality therapies will achieve significant therapeutic enhancements. While substantial increases in median life expectancy in model systems with single doses of Pb-212 conjugated to clinically relevant antibodies, e.g., trastuzumab or panitumumab have been achieved in combination with gemcitabine, paclitaxel, or carboplatin have been demonstrated, actual mechanistic studies related to fully understanding the in vivo cellular processes involved in tumor eradication are non-existent. The first 3 such studies to be reported to define the biological mechanisms at the cellular level of both damage response and repair as well as genetic regulation of the cell biology in response to high-LET radiation have been reported by the Section. Initial baseline studies of targeted Pb-212 revealed that not only are double strand break prevalent, but that the DNA repair mechanisms are compromised, that apoptosis is enhanced, and that cell cycle impacted. Inclusion of gemcitabine replicating prior therapy studies demonstrated how that drug promoted therapy, while ongoing studies integrating taxol into the therapy regimen assess the impact of that drugs mechanism on this therapy. Genetic profiling studies are now ongoing of targeted Pb-212 therapy. Studies continue to expand use trifunctional imaging agents combining radionuclidic imaging (SPECT or PET) and NIR dye (Optical imaging) to incorporate a PEG moiety. Critical discoveries regarding self-aggregation and signal quenching properties of dye-antibody conjugates put a significant body of literature in doubt. This advance provides actual understanding of fundamental chemistry for creation of directly quantitative optical-radiological dual modality molecular imaging agents. Collaborative studies continue to be executed;reagents and/or expertise are supplied to facilitate all researchers to expeditiously perform experiments to fully define the clinical impact of targeted radiation therapy. To this end, the Section continues to enjoy very strong and potent collaborations with the Metabolism Branch, NCI and with the Ludwig Institute, and has fully extended this activity to a collaborative relationship with AREVAMed and UAB to translate Pb-212 into its first clinical trial for treatment of disseminated ovarian cancer while extending At-211 collaborations to researchers at Johns Hopkins.

2. Structure of Presentation
Main Issues in Social Protection in Bangladesh
Macro and Human Development Contexts
Strategy of Social Protection in Bangladesh: Program Allocation and Beneficiary Coverage
What Explains Rapid Expansion of Social Protection in Bangladesh?
New Challenges in Social Protection in Bangladesh
Any Lessons?
3. Main Issues in Social Protection (1)
What is �social protection�? Protecting �society from the poor� or �protecting the poor�?
Democracy: Contrasting experience of early Europe and late Developing Countries
Social protection is an effective citizenship issue�should be treated as a matter of �right�
Trap-centric view vs. linear view: Shaping social protection: Sachs vs. Easterly
Social protection is concerned not just about �access� but also about distributive outcomes, and hence, the issue of tax-financing of social protection
4. Main Issues in Social Protection (2) Even though poverty declined fast in 2000s, rural �chronic poverty� declined extremely slowly (see, graph in the next slide)
The main challenge is: how to tackle chronic poverty better, how to address the issue of rising asset inequality, and what role social protection can play in this process?
Tokenism vs. Overdose of Social Protection (Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh)
Are current social protection programs adequately addressing these issues?
5. Divergent Trends in Average vs. Chronic Poverty 5
6. Macro Growth and Poverty Context Poverty declined�from 60% in 1991 to 50% in 2000, 41% in 2005 and 32% in 2010
Real wage rate in agriculture has increased from 3 kg of rice equivalent in 1991 to over 6 kg of rice equivalent in 2010
Growth accelerated�from 4% average in 1980s, 5% in 1990s, 5.5% in 2000-05, and over 6% in 2005-2010
Four main growth drivers�manufactured export, remittance, agriculture, and microfinance 6
7. Human Development Context The country has achieved (or is on-track in meeting) most of the MDGs�infant and child mortality, gender parity in primary (grade I-IV) and secondary education (grade VI-X), including poverty and maternal mortality
Children underweight has dropped from 57% in 1997 to 46% in 2007 i.e. still very high and linked with high maternal undernutrition
Implications for IGT-transmitted chronic poverty
What role �social protection� played in poverty reduction and human development? 7
8. Strategy of Social Protection (SP): Fiscal Allocation (1) Taka 15,500 crore allocated for SP in 2011/12 out of a national budget of Taka 162,000 crore
The SP share in total public expenditure has increased from 5% in late 1990s to over 15% in 2011/12
Multiple Routes of SP: 84 programs under SP. The main FIVE programs with explicit targeting to the poor are:
Microfinance via PKSF�Taka 10,000 crore (mainly for the moderate poor, but specific MFI schemes for extreme poor are also undertaken)
Other 4 main extreme poor targeted programs�Taka 2860 crore
100-day Employment Guarantee for Hardcore Poor (EG): Taka 1,000 crore (150 Taka/ month; implemented in two rural lean seasons--Sept-Nov and March-April)
Old-age Pension: Taka 891 crore (300 Taka/ month; life-time)
Vulnerable Group Development (VGD): Taka 638 crore (31kg of wheat/ month; 18-month cycle)
Widow allowance�Taka 331 crore (350 Taka/ month; life-time)
9. Strategy of Social Protection (SP): Fiscal Allocation (2) The next 3 important programs, with �mixed targeting��Taka 860 crore
Social Development Foundation (SDF): Taka 363 crore
Maternal and child nutrition (incl. extreme poor targeted maternity allowance of 74 crore): Taka 345 crore
NGO Foundation: Taka 152 crore
The rest generally targeted to poor�1780 crore (includes FFW, VGF, Relief such as TR and GR, housing schemes, acid-victim, street children, beggars, etc)
10. Strategy of Social Protection (SP): Coverage of Beneficiary Estimated 160 million population�about 32 million households
As per 2010/11, at least about one-third of total households of Bangladesh are currently under SP
PKSF-mediated microfinance: 2.7 million.
100-Day Employment Guarantee: 1.6 mln.
Old-age Pension: 2.4 mln.
VGD: 0.7 mln.
Widow allowance: 0.9 mln.
Sub-Total: 8.3 mln.
SDF: 2.6 mln.
NGO-Foundation: 0.1 mln.
Disability: 0.03 mln.
Maternity allowance: 0.016 mln.
Sub-total: 2.75 mln.
Total: 11.05 mln.
Plus, FFW, GR, TR, and the rest: not estimated 10
11. What Explains Rapid Expansion of SP (1) Main poverty reductions came from higher economic growth
However, higher SP allocation helped to reduce poverty of the extreme poor (assessments of microfinance, VGD and 100-day EG indicate that)
What explains the �rapid expansion�?
Increased budgetary allocations were made possible by higher growth dividends
12. What Explains Rapid Expansion of SP (2) Only higher fiscal allocations for SP do not ensure that the intended resources will reach the beneficiary. Institutions are needed to mediate these fiscal resources.
But Bangladesh�s governance capacity is weak (the so-called �Bangladesh paradox�). Two main factors helped.
First factor: Strong institutions with mandated decision making and execution capacity are created outside (central) government:
PKSF wholesaling microfinance
LGED implementing rural infrastructure
SDF and NGO Foundations were created
Partnership with local NGOs (the term PNGO is quite common) and civil society MFIs
Local governments such as Union Parishad (though more could be done in raising their capacity) played a pivotal role in selecting beneficiaries under VGD, old-age pension, widow allowance, road maintenance programs, etc
Second factor: Sustained and fiercely competitive electoral democracy led to increased budgetary allocations for SP. The political channels are: higher popular expectations about SP as well as intense political competition. Remarkable regime continuity in supporting SP. 12
13. New Challenges in SP (1) The SP-undernutrition interface needs to be strengthened. Issue of child and maternal undernutrition remains a challenge. Maternal health voucher scheme is being introduced in this year�s budget.
Maternal undernutrition is not just the result of income-poverty, but also of low women�s agency, especially for adolescent girls. Social factors such as dowry leading to early marriage is a concern.
While increased girls� education through conditional cash transfer schemes can lead to higher female agency, but educated girls also need to get access to gainful employment for economic empowerment.
Reducing population growth further is a challenge: Contraceptive prevalence rate has not increased in 2005-2010 (the reason for this stalling is not understood fully as yet)
14. New Challenges in SP (2) SP is not just about addressing acute deprivations of the extreme poor, but also about addressing shocks, especially health shocks, for the vulnerable non-poor as well.
Universalizing social protection for the extreme poor is important. Introduction of universal health insurance schemes could start from the extreme poor with mandated coverage of major health shocks such as emergency and obstetric care, road accident is needed. The Indian experience needs to be studied in this regard. Bangladesh is also experimenting with micro-insurance in areas of health with MFIs, which also needs to be evaluated.
Microfinance or micro savings�which way forward? For the ultrapoor (such as TUP of BRAC) is helping the extreme poor. Such programs however need to be weighed with alternatives such as RMP/ REOPA with strong emphasis on involuntary savings component (TUP requires Taka 120,000 for graduation; REOPA requires 100,000 for graduation over a period of two-year cycle). 14
15. New Challenges in SP (3) Tokenism in SP needs to be avoided. Old-age, VGD, widow allowance are well-targeted and their coverage is expanding. However, this is coming at the expense of low average benefits per beneficiary equivalent to only about 2 days of agricultural wage labor. This explains repeat participation in SP (as in case of VGD program, as many cannot graduate into �normal� microfinance stage).
Additional funding for SP must come from reducing avoidable �bad subsidies� as well as increased redistributive taxation on the rich. These could include capital gain taxes on profits earned on the share market; additional 5-10% surcharges on income taxes for those holding properties exceeding Taka 2 crore. The first measure is absent currently, but the second measure is being introduced in this year�s budget.
16. New Challenges in SP (4) There is a need for analytical understanding of the interface between �social protection� and �moving out of poverty�. Thus, agricultural growth continues to be pro-poor, and SP can benefit from the on-going pattern of land tenurial changes under pressures of urbanization:
Many extreme poor households who got microfinance moved out of poverty via agricultural route (rather than through conventional rural non-farm route) by leasing in land from those who cannot supervise their own farm operations due to income diversification and rapid urbanization. Land under tenancy/mortgage increased from 20% to 40% in 1987-2007 period due to relaxation of credit market constraint.
Targeting error in SP is relatively low in Bangladesh�ranging from 5-15% depending on the specific program inclusion and exclusion criteria considered�but could be further improved with better area poverty targeting, local government monitoring, and by creating a national level data base on beneficiaries.
17. New Challenges in SP (5)
Bangladesh�s past success is about rural SP, but the �urban sector� has been neglected in SP, though urbanization is now 35%.
Study the chronicity of urban poverty in Dhaka and other large and medium towns in the face of rapid rural-urban migration
Study the sustainability of urban poor organizations beyond the �life of the project intervention�.
Maintain macro stability (low inflation) to protect the real income of the poor derived from SP.
In years of rising food and oil prices in the international market, use targeted food delivery via OMS and other means for supporting the food security of the poorest, as they tend to be the net consumers of foodgrain
However, farmers benefited from the relatively high food price regime; it is the fixed income groups which has been the most hard hit category; even the extreme poor benefited from the rising income as transport workers and unskilled agricultural workers due to rising agricultural wages
18. Why Dhaka Performs Poorly in Poverty Reduction: the Case of Rapid Rural-Urban Migration? 18
19. Any Broader Lessons? Sustain electoral democracy with vibrant civil society for raising voice for increased allocations for SP
Target SP to the extreme poor under the MaxiMin principle with ultimate aim of universalizing the SP consistent with the principles of welfare state and transition to middle income
Land reform for the poorest
Create SP delivery institutions in the public sector with mandated execution capacity outside the central government
Foster partnership with NGOs/ MFIs/ CBOs as well as local government at the rural union level and urban ward level. Politically motivated NGO/ civil society �bashing� needs to stop (as emerged from the recent Grameen experience).
Support SP with multiple routes�self-employment (microfinance and VGD), wage-employment (100-day EG), income-transfer schemes (old-age; widow allowance), and not over-burden a single route with multiple claims
Combine spatial poverty map with individual targeting (where applicable) such as means-tested programs and/ or self-targeting for greater equity 19
20. Any Broader Lessons? Support agriculture and urban informal economy�s growth, as it is also a very effective route for informal SP both from employment generation and informal income support points of view
Just creating data base on extreme poor is not enough for reforming social protection, as indicated by the BISP experience in Pakistan
Interface between LGSP and SP projects is the big challenge for the medium-term; here political commitment is necessary
Many chronic poverty groups have been left out from the current SP coverage
Greater tax financing of SP is necessary to influence greater ownership and greater coverage by SP; this poses even gerater challenge given the fiscal constraints faced by the GoB


text: My son will be of college age soon. We have been considering some schools, but so much has changed in the last few years, and living on the mission field it is hard to keep up. I am IFB, so would prefer an IFB school. My son is undecided as to what he feels the Lord would have him do so we are more interested in a school with the availability of a liberal arts education more than just a Bible college. I am a TTU grad, as is our oldest son, but we have seen some things internally that have turned us off on TTU (don't ask me to go into detail). We have been considering PCC, have an in-law who graduated from there. Any other options out there?

text:
Two decades ago, I wrote a book titled "The Myth of Political Correctness: The Conservative Attack on Higher Education." Two decades later, the myth continues. Today, the proponent is Jonathan Chait, who warns us in New York Magazine of this dire evil resurrected from the distant past: Political correctness.
According to Chait, "Political correctness is a style of politics in which the more radical members of the left attempt to regulate political discourse by defining opposing views as bigoted and illegitimate." And Chait responds with a style of politics in which centrists attempt to regulate political discourse by defining opposing views as repressive and illegitimate.
Of course, Chait does manage to cite a few real cases of mild censorship. There's a University of Michigan columnist who gets fired after writing an offensive column for a competing newspaper, plus four idiots who left some trash outside his building. And he correctly condemns a few cases where leftists protested commencement speakers they disliked, while he says nothing about the right-wing calls to censor commencement speakers such as Barack Obama.
Chait argues, "the new political correctness has bludgeoned even many of its own supporters into despondent silence" He accuses them of "eliminating" freedom and claims, "In a short period of time, the p.c. movement has assumed a towering presence in the psychic space of politically active people in general and the left in particular."
According to Chait, "large segments of American culture have convulsed into censoriousness." But his evidence mostly consists of things like a private Facebook group where some feminists are mean to each other. That's not a convulsion, it's not censoriousness, and it's certainly not a large segment of American culture.
Chait shares with the far right a laughable belief that the left is all-powerful. Chait writes, "Two decades ago, the only communities where the left could exert such hegemonic control lay within academia"—now, he says that left has "hegemonic control" of both academia and social media, where political correctness "flourishes." Considering that Chait also argues for a sudden new resurgence of PC, I can't figure out exactly when he thinks the left made a hostile takeover of all social media in the world.
I understand some of Chait's perspective. I'm a white male liberal, too, and I think many leftists are wrong about many things. I think trigger warnings are stupid, too. And I think some people are oversensitive. That's why I try very carefully never to be oversensitive or to suggest that the solution to a debate is for one side to stop talking.
What made "political correctness" a myth (then and now) were two things: 1) the gross exaggeration of intolerant leftists into a monumental threat to American culture and colleges; and 2) the complete obliviousness to the greatest threats to free speech in America, which come from conservative and corporate forces (which I called "Patriotic Correctness" in a 2008 book).
Leftists today try to suppress free speech about as often as they did in 1995, which is not very much, and with very little success. Some people imagined that the title of my book was an act of denial. I never said that political correctness didn't exist. There are certainly some leftists, then and now, who call for censorship, and there are cases were conservatives are victimized, as I detailed then, and for 20 years since. And there are certainly some leftists, then and now, who make silly arguments obsessing about stupid things.
Chait argues, "After political correctness burst onto the academic scene in the late '80s and early '90s, it went into a long remission. Now it has returned." This is completely made up history. What really happened is that right-wingers and annoyed liberals like Chait united to attack leftists in the early 1990s, eventually got bored of whining about the fictional PC police, and then Chait resurrected the same old arguments after getting annoyed by leftists again.
Even by the lowly standards of fake trend journalism, Chait's evidence is weak. Chait's proof that PC has been resurrected is that "one professor at a prestigious university" told him so: "Every other day I say to my friends, 'How did we get back to 1991?'"
I wonder the same thing. Back in 1991, Chait's publication, New York Magazine, published an infamous cover story, "Are You Politically Correct?" Back then, the feared words were "Native American" and "Animal Companion," but the thesis was the same. That 1991 cover story, written by John Taylor, began with these ominous words:
"Racist" "Racist!" "The man is a racist!" "A racist!" Such denunciations, hissed in tones of self-righteousness and contempt, vicious and vengeful, furious, smoking with hatred—such denunciations haunted Stephen Thernstrom.
As I noted in my book, The Myth of Political Correctness, these hissing, smoking words were never spoken. Even Thernstrom was "appalled" at the article and declared, "nothing like that ever happened." Some African-Americans students didn't like the way Thernstrom taught his class at Harvard, and criticized him. Thernstrom decided not to teach his course, and his cowardice was turned into one of the most cited examples of the power of political correctness.
Now, the magazine that helped turn a fabricated anecdote into an imagined totalitarian movement is back to dig in those abandoned mines of PC.
Chait devotes a substantial part of his article to a dumb professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Mireille Miller-Young, who was offended by an anti-abortion protest sign with graphic images, and decided to take the sign away. Miller-Young was denounced and humiliated across the internet, faced a campaign to get her fired, and was ultimately sentenced to three years of probation, plus 100 hours of community service and 10 hours of anger management classes (none of these rather important facts are mentioned by Chait). Is this the mighty power of political correctness?
If we're going to talk about political correctness suppressing debate, surely we have to mention the fate of Steven Salaita, who was dismissed by the University of Illinois for tweets criticizing the Israeli invasion of Gaza. You might imagine that a man like Chait who is so oversensitive about oversensitivity would jump right on the bandwagon to defend someone whose crime was tweeting a few offensive comments critical of Israel. But Chait seems to have never uttered a word about Salaita, and certainly doesn't include him in his parade of evils in our culture today.
After all, Salaita was merely fired from his job, banished for life from an academic career, and forced to move his family into his parents' house. He didn't really suffer, like Chait did, the horrors of listening to people talk about microaggressions.
Chait himself is guilty of what he calls a "central tenet" of the PC movement: "treat even faintly unpleasant ideas or behaviors as full-scale offenses." So, using silly trigger warnings isn't a sincere sensitivity to students, but a full-scale offense in Chait's eyes.
At least we've made some progress since 1991: leftists are no longer called "humorless"; instead, Chait claims that their mockery is too sharp and painful for the soft tummies of well-intentioned liberals, as shown by his anger at terms such as "mansplaining" and at the feminists who used the mocking hashtag #RIPpatriarchy to criticize someone who argued that patriarchy is dead.
When I called political correctness a "myth," I was never denying the fact that some leftists are intolerant jerks, and sometimes their appalling calls for censorship are successful. My point was that even though political correctness exists, the "myth" about it was the story that leftists controlled college campuses, imposing their evil whims like a "new McCarthyism" or "China during the Cultural Revolution." In reality, then and now, the far greater threat to freedom on campus came from those on the right seeking to suppress opposing views.
Perhaps the best proof of Chait's misguided priorities is one example of the evil PC police cited by him: "A theater group at Mount Holyoke College recently announced it would no longer put on The Vagina Monologues in part because the material excludes women without vaginas."
It's hardly surprising that a 20-year-old play about gender might be regarded as outdated, nor is it an act of repression for a theater group to decide to write its own play about sexuality rather than repeating the same old one they've used. But what's remarkable is that Chait somehow ignores the fact that The Vagina Monologues is the most frequently banned play in America—but the cause isn't the PC police. It's a right-wing organization named the Cardinal Newman Society.
The Cardinal Newman Society notes with approval that "many Catholic institutions have not allowed the play on campus" and annually lists the Catholic colleges that allow the play, calling upon their wealthy and influential supporters to demand censorship. The Cardinal Newman Society has taken credit for reducing the number of Catholic colleges with performances of the play from 32 in 2003 to 10 in 2014. It's quite likely that this play has been banned from college campuses hundreds of times due to the influence of this right-wing group.
But in Chait's bizarro world, a theater group performing their own play is part of the PC thought police destroying freedom, while highly successful right-wing censors are simply ignored.
Chait isn't attacking the idea of whiny victimhood. He's embracing it, with the white male liberal in the mirror as the swooning victim of mean feminists and angry black folks.
We should worry about anyone who wants to silence debate, whether it's left-wingers who want to suppress opposing views, right-wingers who try to punish controversial ideas, or centrists who fear political correctness lurking under every tweet. The paranoia about political correctness became the excuse for a variety of right-wing censorship in the past quarter-century. Let's hope that Chait's ramblings don't create a new myth of political correctness that is used to promote another wave of repression.

Ethical conflicts are an inevitable part of undercover work. Officers are often required to build friendships and relationships with suspects whom they will eventually betray in the courtroom. The constant need to shift from a criminal persona to the officer's true identity can also rupture or strain family relationships. Left on their own for extended periods, officers may find themselves more willing to cut ethical corners -- particularly if they see improved job prospects ahead.
Betrayed Relationships
For undercover officers, building cases means forming close relationships to suspects they will eventually betray. Former federal agent Billy Queen grappled with these realities during a two-year investigation of the Mongols motorcycle gang, "The Washington Post" reported in October 2005. Queen had no illusions about the Mongols' penchant for violence, though he liked many of them personally. The stress of juggling these conflicting emotions eventually forced Queen to retire from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the newspaper stated.
Corruption Risks
One of the oldest undercover conflicts is having to impersonate criminals without crossing the line. Philippine national police chief Jesus Verzosa voiced this rationale in banning the use of illegal substances during drug investigations, the ABS-CBN network reported in February 2009. The chief's order followed reports that 221 of 25,134 police officers had failed drug tests. A similar scandal rocked New York's South Brooklyn precinct, where four officers were arrested and six more suspended for rewarding informants with drugs, the "New York Times" stated in January 2008.
Identity Issues
Isolated from family and friends, undercover officers struggle to balance their real and assumed identities. Queen's work against the Mongols forced the relocation of his ex-wife and two sons, who had no idea what was happening, the "Washington Post" noted. British officers have also been accused of trading sex for information. A court cited these concerns in overturning Colin Stagg's murder conviction, "The Guardian" reported in January 2011. The ruling followed reports that an undercover policewoman initiated a relationship with Stagg to gain a confession.
Lost Integrity
Despite its risks and stresses, undercover work remains an attractive proposition for detectives and police officers seeking a long-term career. Going undercover in New York City can ensure a detective promotion in 18 months, instead of three to five years, the "New York Times" states. Such processes may also breed a corner-cutting mentality that can harm an agency's reputation. In 2003, for example, 30 narcotics officers were transferred out of Brooklyn South for allegedly bilking $30,000 in overtime from the department, the "New York Times" reported.

The NCAA is finally wrapping up its investigation of the University of Miami athletic department. Any day now, UM president Donna Shalala will receive a letter laying out exactly how the school violated rules by allowing onetime Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro to run rampant for nearly a decade.
It's time the NCAA ended its witch hunt.
The association unnecessarily dragged out its investigation based solely on accusations made by a pair of witnesses with no credibility: Shapiro and his former flunky and ex-football team manager, Sean "Pee Wee" Allen.
Nevin Shapiro
Shapiro is seething with rage because he couldn't persuade any former U players to take his side when the feds busted him in 2010 for running a $930 million Ponzi scheme. So he went public, claiming to have provided improper benefits to at least 70 University of Miami student athletes between 2001 and 2010. He allegedly paid for fancy dinners and nightclub soirees in South Beach as well as lap dances and liquor at local strip joints. He even boasted that he had covered an abortion for a stripper who had been impregnated by a former player.

During the two years NCAA investigators have been asking questions, I hope they made sure to speak with every employee at all the strip clubs where Shapiro allegedly treated players.
Allen is upset he was forced to resign, but he has said he recruited players shortly after Al Golden took over as head coach — a violation of collegiate athletics rules.
Even if the NCAA believes half the whoppers Shapiro and Allen have told, UM does not deserve heavy sanctions. The school has bowed out of playing in bowls for two straight years while awaiting the NCAA's ruling. The Hurricanes passed up the chance to play in bowl games and hand out scholarships.
What's more, all the players and coaches implicated by Shapiro left the U long ago. When you consider the scandals that rocked Penn State and Ohio State during the same time period, the allegations against the Hurricanes seem insignificant.
It's time the NCAA allowed the U to close the book on Shapiro.
