Just weeks after completing a transfer to Qatar, former Club America forward Christian Benitez has passed away.
The Ecuadorian international's death was confirmed by the Qatari club that recently acquired him, El Jaish, as well as the Ecuadorian Football Federation, though the causes of his death are unknown. Early reports have ranged from a car accident to cardiac arrest. Benitez was 27-years old.
Tributes to Benitez have been pouring in from all over the world, from club to international teammates.
"Chucho" Benitez was the top scorer in Liga MX each of the three half-seasons for America, scoring a total of 52 league goals in 79 league appearances as America won the 2013 Clausura tournament last May.
Before moving to the Azteca Stadium, Benitez played for Santos Laguna for three seasons, with a season in the middle of that at Birmingham City in England. Benitez came up as a professional with El Nacional in Ecuador. For his country, Benitez had 58 caps and had scored 24 goals.
Here are some more stories to get your Monday kicked off:
Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy drives a hard bargain, something Spurs star Gareth Bale is learning quickly.
The 24-year-old midfielder is reportedly back in London from the club's trip to Hong Kong to have showdown talks with Levy and the club's backroom staff over a proposed move to Real Madrid. Reports in England and Spain believe Madrid are willing to offer upwards of €100 million ($133 million) in total value for Bale.
Levy has plenty of experience negotiating with Real Madrid, as he last year sold midfielder Luka Modric to the Spanish club for a reported £33 million, but if Bale is sold in this transfer window for the reported price, it would become the most-expensive transfer in world history, breaking the 2009 record from Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo ($125 million).
Bale won a number of English Premier League Player of the Year awards last season, scoring 21 goals in 33 Premier League appearances, helping his side to a fifth-place finish and a deep run in the Europa League.
Paris Saint-Germain won't have to worry about their star defender Thiago Silva leaving for the time being.
The 28-year-old centerback agreed to new terms with the Ligue 1 club on Saturday, signing a contract through 2018 that should earn him upwards of €12 million ($16 million) per season after tax.
Silva had been subject of intense transfer rumors this summer, with a potential move to either Barcelona, who desperately need defensive reinforcements, or Real Madrid, following his former PSG manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
Last month, Silva starred for the Brazilian National Team as they took home their third-straight Confederations Cup title, this time with a 3-0 defeat of Spain on home ground. Last season, Silva made 34 appearances in all competitions in his first season at PSG.
Celtic FC are nearing the signing of Ajax midfielder Dirk Boerrigter for £3 million. (REPORT)
FC Porto's Jackson Martinez is linked with a move to Napoli, and the forward's agent is set to meet with the Serie A club for talks. (REPORT)
Germany defeated Norway, 1-0, in the Women's European Championships, winning their sixth straight title. (REPORT)
Goalkeeper Pepe Reina has voiced his displeasure at Liverpool FC's front office for loaning him away without letting him know beforehand. (REPORT)
Barcelona are considering making a bid for Spain Under-20 player Dennis Suarez, who is currently on the books of Manchester City. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? What are your favorite memories of Benitez? Do you see Bale moving to Madrid this summer? Do you see Silva playing out the course of his contract at PSG?
Share your thoughts below.
R.I.P. Chucho..
+ 1
Napoli is certainly spending the money they received for Cavani: Reina on loan, Callejon, Albiol, Higuain, and now this guy from Benfica. They should challenge for the Serie A this year. Didn't they also hire Rafa Benitez as their manager, and not on an interim basis?
Very sad to hear Chucho passed. My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. That puts a major dent in Ecuador's World Cup campaign.
The Bale story is crazy. For him, he plays the same position as Ronaldo, differently for sure, but he lines up at least in the same spot. Real would have to get rid of di Maria and maybe one other player just to ensure he gets playing time for $100 million. Spurs could probably find 3 or 4 players with that money, especially a striker or two, that they need to move into the top four.
Well, RM does love to collect players and just stash them on the bench.
Wow. First Cabanas now Chucho. America is cursed. No offense meant. RIP.
Lost in Space
If Tottenham get $100M offer for Bale I can't see them passing on it. That is just too much money for a single player that can be re-invested into the team. Not saying it wouldn't hurt the club to lose Bale….it will….but for that kind of cash they can pick up 3 very good players and still have cash left over. Not to mention that it will insure Dempsey continues to get minutes.
Bale is the face of the Premier League right now, he can drive Spurs to becoming consistent top 4/title challengers year in year out. I dont think 100M makes up for the massive amount of cash those targets can bring.
PLUS, whoopdy doo, you sell Bale for stupid money but you can't replace him with top players b/c Spurs don't have the clout of being top 4…
Have you all ever read Bill Simmons?
In his basketball articles, he places values on various players. Lebron and Kevin Durant are the best players in the league and thus worth $2. A 2nd-tier star like Chris Bosh is worth a $1.25, a minor star like Klay Thompson is worth $1, a solid role player like Tiago Splitter is worth $.50, and a journeyman like Nick Young is worth $.25.
Now conceivably, Klay Thompson ($1) + Andre Miller ($.50) + two Nick Youngs (2x$.25) = LeBron. Except, that its freaking LeBron. In reality, there is no value for the best player in the league.
I make this analogy because it is apropos for the Bale situation. Are there three available worth $33 million per player, that add up to the value of Bale? I'm not sure if there are such players out there on the market, so I don't know if it is worth Tottenham's time to facilitate this transfer.
Well the NBA is not FIFA.
1 player can have a major affect on an NBA game (even more so considering how crooked that league's officiating is), while the affect of a single player in FIFA is diminished due in part to the side of the field and number of players.
Also, Bale is not worth 100m € –not even close. He is worth close to 30m€ and Madrid are almost tripling his actual value.
If superstar players were worth that much in FIFA–Real Madrid and Manchester City would literally never lose a game.
Barcelona lost a combined 7-0 to Bayern (granted 4 of the goals were offside–another conversation) with 2 of the greatest midfielders in the history of soccer–not just modern game, but ever. They played a team with lesser players but greater team cohesion due to a lack of fatigue and morale.
Arsenal plugs and chugs with squad players and consistently finishes in the top 4 due to team cohesion and aspects such as coaching and style of play.
3 30m€ players for 1 30m€ player. It's literally a no brainer if your goal is winning.
Mister JC
I always enjoy a Sports Guy reference, so excellent work. Other than that, while I like Bale and he very much is a star, Madrid are overpaying for him, especially if it breaks the former record that Ronaldo's transfer held…
Mister JC
* is overpaying
Yeah, I think the question is who's available on the market. We're at the end of July and a lot of the top available talent has already been claimed. If they can't spend the proceeds in a way that makes them a contender for top 4 this year, which they are with Bale, then it doesn't really make sense.
divers suck
Who cares who's available right now? If 'Spurs don't take 100 mill. if offered, an unhappy Gareth Bale's stock will only plummet. He wants to leave!
$100M is absolutely not enough. £80M, yes.
Old School
"Early reports have ranged from a car accident to cardiac arrest."
Something doesn't seem right about this situation.
A day after a game in Qatar. Playing in the heat… It will be real interesting to see how FIFA handles things if the heat played a role in his p@ssing…
Old School
On one hand, the value of Bale may never be higher and I think Levy would be foolish to p@ss on the offer.
On the other hand, the value of Bale may never be higher for his own club and their chances of having a fighting shot at the Champions League and I think Levy would be foolish to accept an offer.
Obviously it's a precarious situation to be in for Spurs/Levy. I think it's a foregone conclusion Bale will be leaving, at the latest, next summer. However, the ability to lure a few top names with the fee they capture from Madrid may be directly dependent on their ability to make a Champions League spot…
Tough choices.
*@: Usage to avoid the ridiculous moderation system.
Come on. If there really was a 100M pound offer for Bale, you gleefully take it and buy 3 absolute studs and 4-5 more very good players. You can remake your team's weaknesses and immediately contend for the CL, if not the PL championship, which promises to be a wide-open race due to the coaching changes all over the place.
No player is worth that kind of money.
Old School
This isn't FIFA.
I don't think it's automatic Spurs get "3 absolute studs and 4-5 more very good players." Can they add depth? Absolutely.
Think about how the transfer market works. When other clubs know you have money, and know the exact amount, that factors into their asking prices.
Additionally, what 3 "absolute studs" are you going to get for 100M pounds and have any room left over for the supposed "4-5 more very good players"?
Are you seeing the asking prices for these top tier players in the transfer market nowdays? They can get maybe…..MAYBE 2…and even then, those players are already targets of higher profile clubs and Spurs who have no money left to utilize towards this "4-5 more very good players".
So, basically with the time remaining in this transfer market, you're going to be adding depth, and lacking a "stud" that almost single-handedly carried the Spurs to a top 4 finish two years in a row.
Arsenal have been trying all summer to land a marquee attacker and they actually have a Champions League spot, with some history of sustained success. Have they added even a single "stud"? No.
You can easily add depth with that amount but to believe Bale can be replaced with that amount of money is whimsical at best. Spurs do not have unlimited funds like some of these other clubs that are building their club through the transfer market over night.
This isn't FIFA.
Plus, what 3 studs are out there right now waiting to be signed? I still think you've got to take the money, but it's not a foregone conclusion that there are three fantastic players available.
I was simply saying what a team could do with $100M, not saying what they could do in this transfer time window.
As you said, Spurs do not have an unlimited budget…which means there is absolutely no way they can p@ss on this offer. What they have is an ability to get players below market value, which other clubs with unlimited funds cannot do. $100M can afford them luxuries that Bale simply cannot. After all, the point of my original post is that he's only 1 player.
Arsenal hasn't really been trying, either. They made some inquiries about Higuain but didn't offer enough money, and you're kidding yourself if you think their interest in Suarez is serious. I actually think they bid for Suarez, knowing they couldn't get him, as a way to show the fans "we're trying!"
Old School
"I was simply saying what a team could do with $100M, not saying what they could do in this transfer time window."
I get that and for debates sake, I'm entertaining the thought of "what if", not necessarily disagreeing that Levy shouldn't pounce on the 100M.
However, we're not just talking about "what you could do" hypothetically, we're talking about "what COULD you do" in this transfer market…with the limited time remaining because that would be their reality.
I'm just not buying that the Spurs could turn around and reinvest that 100M and land two or three marquee names and find themselves challenging for a Champions League spot they way they are right now.
As ridiculous as that may sound to some, keep in mind this isn't League 1 and the Spurs aren't recognized as some "project" that players know they'll be the first big signing of many.
It's nice to have the money but if you can't replace what you already have…that'll be gone in a few years when Spurs go back to mid-table and have a handful of average signings that were big money at the time.
Jerry Jones
HoboMike, I like the way you think (thanks again Mike Lynn)
I've seen it before. One can lead to the other. It can take time to sort out. Sad none the less.
R.I.P Chucho!!!!
Why is this even debatable?
Take the d*mn money and run. 133 million? That's more than half of a champions league squad.
If Levy refuses this, he is simply a terrible businessman. I know he doesn't like to "lose" in negotiations, but guess what? Getting $133M for one player is not a loss. It's a massive win.
If Levy refuses this, he is simply a terrible businessman. I know he doesn't like to "lose" in negotiations, but guess what? Getting $133M for one player is not a loss. It's a m@ssive win.
As a businessman I consider that an amazing win. obviously his job is to act in the best interests of the club.
As you said, 133 million for a single player is a coup of epic proportions. Even the fans won't lash out at that move. I don't know what Spurs pulls in revenue on an annual basis, but 133 million could possibly double their annual revenues.
When you think about the cost of the average UCL starter–10-20 million euros–they could potentially get 5 to 10 world cl@ss players for Bale.
Yeah…. seems a no brainer.
Spurs lost any chance at keeping Bale missing out on CL the last 2 years, so they aren't going to have him long-term. I'm pretty sure they have had talks with Bale and know this and that this is negotiations to get the most $$$$ they can out of him. Hard to imagine getting any more than 133 million. Heck, If you'd asked me last week what they'd get for Bale, it wouldn't be anything close to that. Think Spurs be careful lest they overplay their hand. If these numbers are true…. there may or may not be a little more posturing, but I'd have to think it will go through.

Obviously my three posts were because of the moderation system, which Ives has simply ignored so far.
Old School
Not to be a d!ck about it, but I'm all for people making a conscious effort to point this out daily until it's addressed.
Ives has addressed it several times. It's not changing and it shouldn't. He has the filters there to eliminate the trash/troll comments that dominate other blogs. This is the one place I know of where you can have an actual online discussion about soccer without it turning into a verbal mosh pit. If every now and then a comment takes an extra 20 minutes to appear, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Old School
Perhaps you're new, OPMG, but for people who have been around for years…trolling isn't something that was ever an issue for this website, prior to the filter system.
That's a poor (and lazy) excuse. Additionally, to state you simply have to wait "20 minutes" is beyond untruthful. A number of people will verify their post sat around for hours and sometimes days before being enabled and by then, the conversation was over….all because they used the word "pa$$" on an ever-loving-soccer website.
You may not agree but the (high) quality of posters on this website has zero to do with the filter system. The entire system is outdated, and frankly, just plain lazy on the part of Ives and the moderators.
I've said it before that I'm a huge supporter of the website and his reporting but you need to give a lot more credit to the posters and a lot less leeway to a filter system that dissuades people from even posting and eventually even browsing this website.
Hard to have good "quality" of posters or a website if no one is trafficking your website. If you don't believe that's a trending attitude, you haven't been paying attention.
Old School
The fact that my response to OPMG was caught in the moderation filter is both hysterical and a sad reality of the website.
Look, we all love comaining about moderation, but I love not having to worry about trolls and trash talkers on this website, alright?
Old School
Pace, that's precisely the point and many others can validate this statement: trolls were never an issue prior to the filter moderation.
I'm not complaining for complaining sake. Stop being an apologist.
I thought he said it was out of his control. There's no need for troll moderation on this site, and the filters aren't designed to catch trolls anyway.

RIP Chucho
First off, sad to hear about Chucho. He was a great competitor.
This Madrid offer for Bale leads me to believe that Ronaldo may be heading back to Manchester. While it is certainly just a hopeful hunch, it does not seem far fetched now.
Several news outlets are reporting the cause of death may be related to the heat in Qatar. I'm not sure thats accurate considering he played in Mexico before but this appears to be more bad press for fifa. Very talented player gone well before his time. RIP
No transfer fee, 27 years old, EPL experience, club and scoring titles, 52 league goals in 79 league appearances, national team star, about the perfect DP combo of an athlete in his prime, marketability, experience, inteliigence, athleticism, and price given he flew under the relative radar despite his accomplishments. Seriously hope some MLS team made a run at him and lost, it would be unimaginable if not one team thought well enough to make him an offer. If he was here, feels like he wouldn't have passed. Argh. So sad. RIP Chucho.
Deputy editor of Goal.com saying Benitez suffered severe heat stroke which caused a heart attack.
I imagine we see a string of subsequent conflicting reports followed by a State autopsy showing that heat had no affect at all on his health and that it was good for him.
It'll be interesting to see if Blatter has any comments on the unfortunate death. The pressure to move the time, or location of the '22 WC just increased with this revelation.
Old School
I don't think there's any "pressure" to move the time the WC is played in 2022.
Let's be honest, this was the plan all along and Benitez's death, sadly, helps strengthen the argument to move the corrupt World Cup to the winter months.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's literally sickening to think of the corruption in FIFA right now and it's painful to know nothing can be done about it.
The FA, and other European leagues are resisting the pressure from FIFA to change the time of the WC. It's still a ways off, but we will be re-visiting this topic many times.
Old School
…and I hope they stick to that resistance.
However, I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to suddenly, and quietly not be an i$$ue some random time in the future after a brown paper bag is exchanged.
What is this tifo/sign incident in San Jose all about? There is mention in the twitterfest with Garber about something a Portland fan did…
i hope madrid doesn't waste that much money on a guy we don't really need.

Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration
Leaders: Linda Burton, Tomás Jiménez, Hazel Markus, Douglas Massey, Marybeth Mattingly, C. Matthew Snipp
The CPI has an extensive research program on race, ethnicity, immigration, and poverty. The National Poverty Study, for example, is designed to rigorously compare differences across rural black, deindustrialized, reservation, and other "racialized" poverty forms. The CPI also runs a comprehensive program on Hispanic poverty that explores such topics as the "chilling effect" of anti-immigrant laws on program use, the reasons why, contrary to much speculation, the Hispanic poverty rate has not taken off, and the causes of the so-called Hispanic Health Paradox (see, for example, our Pathways Magazine special report on poverty, inequality, and mobility among Hispanics). And one of the CPI's most distinguished affiliates, Jennifer Eberhardt (who is on the CPI directorate), is carrying out a groundbreaking big-data analysis of policing and race. We list below a sampling of other CPI projects on race, ethnicity, immigration, and poverty.
Poverty among refugees: The U.S. refugee population faces very high rates of poverty, yet we know very little about the effects of different resettlement programs and approaches. There are efforts afoot to exploit available administrative data and begin to find out what works and what doesn't.
Arrests, race, and poverty: Why are some arrests resolved informally while others are converted into a criminal record that then has a life-long scarring effect? The process of converting an arrest into a criminal booking may play an important role in generating downstream racial disparities.
Reducing the race gap in test scores: The new Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA) is a rich resource that is providing the most systematic evidence to date on the capacity of school-district policies to reduce the racial gap in test scores.
Poverty and schooling on reservations: Why are test scores and educational outcomes on Native reservations so low (relative to the national average)? In a new project by the noted ethnographer Martin Sánchez-Jankowski, we'll be learning more about how traditional and formal education are viewed and the ways in which they might be better integrated.

Social psychologists have long demonstrated that people are stereotyped on the basis of race. Researchers have conducted extensive experimental studies on the negative stereotypes associated with Black Americans in particular. Across 4 studies, we demonstrate that the physical spaces associated with Black Americans are also subject to negative racial stereotypes. Such spaces, for example, are perceived as impoverished, crime-ridden, and dirty (Study 1). Moreover, these space-focused stereotypes can powerfully influence how connected people feel to a space (Studies 2a, 2b, and 3), how they evaluate that space (Studies 2a and 2b), and how they protect that space from harm (Study 3). Indeed, processes related to space-focused stereotypes may contribute to social problems across a range of domains—from racial disparities in wealth to the overexposure of Blacks to environmental pollution. Together, the present studies broaden the scope of traditional stereotyping research and highlight promising new directions.

High-profile cases of police violence—disproportionately experienced by black men—may present a serious threat to public safety if they lower citizen crime reporting. Using an interrupted time series design, this study analyzes how one of Milwaukee's most publicized cases of police violence against an unarmed black man, the beating of Frank Jude, affected police-related 911 calls. Controlling for crime, prior call patterns, and several neighborhood characteristics, we find that residents of Milwaukee's neighborhoods, especially residents of black neighborhoods, were far less likely to report crime after Jude's beating was broadcast. The effect lasted for over a year and resulted in a total net loss of approximately 22,200 calls for service. Other local and national cases of police violence against unarmed black men also had a significant impact on citizen crime reporting in Milwaukee. Police misconduct can powerfully suppress one of the most basic forms of civic engagement: calling 911 for matters of personal and public safety.

Home, heart, and being Latina: Housing and intimate relationship power among low-income Mexican mothersAuthor: Whitney Welsh, Linda Burton
Publisher: Sociology of Race and Ethnicity
Date: 07/2016
The authors examine an emergent association between low-income Mexican mothers' control of housing and power relations in their romantic unions. Guided by valued resource theory, and mothers' lived racial, ethnic, and gender experiences of navigating access to housing and sustaining intimate unions, the authors used secondary longitudinal ethnographic data on 29 low-income mothers of Mexican descent as exemplar cases to explore (1) mothers' housing dependencies as they transitioned from their natal homes to coresidential housing with romantic partners, (2) the factors that differentially shaped mothers' housing options, and (3) how mothers' control of housing procurement influenced their intimate relationship power. The findings suggest that mothers followed one of five housing dependency pathways, with 25 percent securing housing independently. Most traversed complex and transient levels of dependence on their partners for housing with immigrants and native-born Mexican Americans evincing nuanced differences in their relationship power depending on their housing situations. In most cases, regardless of their national origin (Mexico or the U.S.), mothers' control of housing procurement directly corresponded to increased relationship power. The importance of considering the impact of race/ethnicity on housing and women's power in Latino families in future research is also discussed.

Publisher: Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science

Also labeled undocumented, irregular, and unauthorized migration, illegal migration places immigrants in tenuous legal circumstances with limited rights and protections. We argue that illegal migration emerged as a structural feature of the second era of capitalist globalization, which emerged in the late twentieth century and was characterized by international market integration. Unlike the first era of capitalist globalization (1800 to 1929), the second era sees countries limiting and controlling international migration and creating a global economy in which all markets are globalized except for labor and human capital, giving rise to the relatively new phenomenon of illegal migration. Yet despite rampant inequalities in wealth and income between nations, only 3.1 percent of all people lived outside their country of birth in 2010. We expect this to change: threat evasion is replacing opportunity seeking as a motivation for international migration because of climate change and rising levels of civil violence in the world's poorer nations. The potential for illegal migration is thus greater now than in the past, and more nations will be forced to grapple with growing populations in liminal legal statuses.

Date: 05/2016
Can social–psychological theory provide insight into the extreme racial disparities in school disciplinary action in the United States? Disciplinary problems carry enormous consequences for the quality of students' experience in school, opportunities to learn, and ultimate life outcomes. This burden falls disproportionately on students of color. Integrating research on stereotyping and on stigma, we theorized that bias and apprehension about bias can build on one another in school settings in a vicious cycle that undermines teacher–student relationships over time and exacerbates inequality. This approach is more comprehensive than accounts in which the predicaments of either teachers or students are considered alone rather than in tandem, it complements nonpsychological approaches, and it gives rise to novel implications for policy and intervention. It also extends prior research on bias and stigmatization to provide a model for understanding the social–psychological bases of inequality more generally.

Racial Profiling and Use of Force in Police Stops: How Local Events Trigger Periods of Increased DiscriminationAuthor: Joscha Legewie
Publisher: American Journal of Sociology
Date: 09/2016
Racial profiling and the disproportionate use of police force are controversial political issues. I argue that racial bias in the use of force increases after relevant events such as the shooting of a police officer by a black suspect. To examine this argument, I design a quasi experiment using data from 3.9 million time and geocoded pedestrian stops in New York City. The findings show that two fatal shootings of police officers by black suspects increased the use of police force against blacks substantially in the days after the shootings. The use of force against whites and Hispanics, however, remained unchanged, and there is no evidence for an effect of two other police murders by a white and Hispanic suspect. Aside from the importance for the debate on racial profiling and police use of force, this research reveals a general set of processes where events create intergroup conflict, foreground stereotypes, and trigger discriminatory responses.

More than 40 million people living in the United States were born in other countries, and almost an equal number have at least one foreign-born parent. Together, the first generation (foreign-born) and second generation (children of the foreign-born) comprise almost one in four Americans. It comes as little surprise, then, that many U.S. residents view immigration as a major policy issue facing the nation. Not only does immigration affect the environment in which everyone lives, learns, and works, but it also interacts with nearly every policy area of concern, from jobs and the economy, education, and health care, to federal, state, and local government budgets.
The changing patterns of immigration and the evolving consequences for American society, institutions, and the economy continue to fuel public policy debate that plays out at the national, state, and local levels. The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration assesses the impact of dynamic immigration processes on economic and fiscal outcomes for the United States, a major destination of world population movements. This report will be a fundamental resource for policy makers and law makers at the federal, state, and local levels but extends to the general public, nongovernmental organizations, the business community, educational institutions, and the research community.

International Migration and National Development: From Orthodox Equilibrium to TransnationalismAuthor: Alejandro Portes
Publisher: Sociology of Development

This article reviews theoretical perspectives on migration and development, starting with nineteenth-century political economy theories focused on "colonizing" migrations from England and other European powers and concluding with the emerging literature on immigrant transnationalism and its consequences for sending nations. The general concept of equilibrium has until currently dominated orthodox economic theories of both colonizing and labor migrations from peripheral regions to advanced nations. The counteroffensive, led by Gunnar Myrdal and theorists of the dependency school, centered on the notion of cumulative causation leading to increasing poverty and the depopulation of peripheral sending areas. Both perspectives registered numerous empirical anomalies, stemming from a common view of migration flows as occurring between separate politico-economic entities. An alternative conceptualization of such flows as internal to an overarching global system has improved our understanding of causes and consequences of labor migration and has framed the back-and-forth complexities of these movements captured in the novel notion of transnationalism.

Making the Most of Multiple Measures: Disentangling the Effects of Different Dimensions of Race in Survey ResearchAuthor: Aliya Saperstein, Jessica M. Kizer, Andrew M. Penner

The majority of social science research uses a single measure of race when investigating racial inequality. However, a growing body of work demonstrates that race shapes the life chances of individuals in multiple ways, related not only to how people self-identify but also to how others perceive them. As multiple measures of race are increasingly collected and used in survey research, it becomes important to consider the best methods of leveraging such data. We present four analytical approaches for incorporating two different dimensions of race in the same study and illustrate their use with data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. The approaches range from tests of specific hypotheses to the most exploratory description of how different measures of race relate to social inequality. Although each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, by accounting for the multidimensionality of race, they all allow for more nuanced patterns of advantage and disadvantage than standard single-measure methods.

Wandering around the new wally world last night I came across this years edition of insulated jackets and vest for $20 and $15 respectively. They are both made of light nylon, the jacket is reversible and the pockets have insulation on the inside and out. I didnt have a scale with me, but I feeling them, I guess the jacket weighed around 20-22 oz. It had lycra edging around the wrist and bottom, but didnt provide a good seal. They were both minimalist in design and dont look half bad. I dont know about packed size either, but I think these would both be suitable for intro level jackets for those wanting to upgrade from fleece. They had IMUSA grease pots too for around $5.
Anybody have the weights for the jacket and vest or do I need to go borrow one from the kitchen dept. and take it back over to the clothes?

your route-venet0 Network adapter is configured incorrectly.
it looks like it's looking for route-venet0 in the above directory, do the follwoing:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
then do a LS to see if that file is there, if not create it, and go from there.
