XP User denied access across network
I have a very simple network with just 2 laptops, one running Windows 7 and the other XP.
The XP computer has one user and no password. The Win7 has 2 users, one with a password and one with no password.
I have done all the right things to make Win7 files visible across the network but every time I try to access files from the XP, I am prompted to login.
If I login as User1 with a password, I gain access to Win7 files. If I login as User2 without a password, I get the 'Denied Access' message box.
Is there any way around this, apart from always being User1 ?

Thank you for the link, seavixen32. This was what I used as my guide to setting the network up.
I have double-checked and I don't seem to have missed any steps.
What is still puzzling me is why I am being forced to login across the network and also why that login only works for one username and not the other.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
This is just a guess. Is the log in name/password on the 7 PC the primary/admin account? If so, I'm betting that's the issue. To check this, remove the password and then check, a reboot maybe needed.

Yeah, I have that problem as well. Whenever it prompts you to log in, you have to use the account with the password to get in. As Kari said, if you don't want to log in through a password, you'll need to change the Advanced Sharing settings on the 7 computer.

re. the above comments.
1. Yes, the primary account (which works) is password protected.
I am reluctant to remeove the password from that account because that is the one that I can use to gain network access from XP. It is the other one (not password protected that fails).
2. I have definotely done all the things recommended i relation to turning off password protected network access.
This is the nub of my problem. Why does XP come with a password screen, when I try to access a Win7 folder, and why does this allow my win7 password-protected username to get through but 'Access Denied' to my Win7 non-password username ?
I know I can always use the account name that works but this defeats the whole object of having one account for me and one for my wife.

I finally have a result ( of sorts . . )
Despite checking, double-checking and checking again, I cannot find anywhere else in Win7 that I have missed but my XP laptop still insists on a login screen before it will open a Win7 folder.
I have therefore given both of my Win7 users a password and everything now works fine.
Does this mean that Win7 has changed its rules and it is now impossible to gain access to a folder, across the network, without login ?
Or have I just got a dud version ?

Why didn't I listen to BassFisher6522 !
That was the solution all the while.
Just for the record, if you want seamless sharing between Windows 7 and XP, just remove ALL passwords from Windows 7 accounts. Then set the sharing rules as suggested and , bingo, it all works, painlessly and seamlessly.
I hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem. Closing the thread as 'Resolved@

The Woodland Park Zoo's two rare Sumatran tiger cubs were too busy pouncing on plants, play-wrestling with each other and generally behaving like kittens yesterday to notice the crowds that filed in to watch them frolic in their temporary exhibit space.
Dozens of zoo attendees of all ages waited in sometimes-lengthy lines to catch a glimpse of the cubs for the first time since they were born here in September.
Besides being cute, the cubs represent a significant addition to the world's tiger population, said zookeeper Amy Brandt. All five subspecies of tigers are endangered, but Sumatran tigers are the most rare, with only 400 believed to be left in the wild.

The two male cubs, Langka and Manis, have distinct personalities, Brandt said. Langka, whose name means "rare" in Indonesian, is the more energetic of the two, she said. He's exuberant and inquisitive, just like his mother, JoJo, she said. Manis, whose name means "sweet" in Indonesian, is much more laid-back than his brother, even timid at times, and takes after his father, Brandt said.
"They are just adorable," she said, "and they're just going to get cuter and cuter."
Official attendance estimates weren't available yesterday afternoon, but a combination of curiosity about the new cubs and the sunny, dry weather seemed to draw crowds.
Zoo attendee Sean Owen said he'd planned his visit solely to see the new tiger cubs and wasn't disappointed. He marveled at the chance to get so close to such rare animals, and noticed similarities between the cubs' movements and those of his pet cat.
"It's incredible to be standing here and see such beautiful creatures," he said.
The cubs also impressed friends Clarissa Stevens and Margo Press, both 11.
"I've never seen a baby tiger before, except on TV," Stevens said. "It's cool to see how small they are."
The cubs were kept in seclusion until now to make it easier for them to bond with their mother. They will remain in their heated indoor exhibit with the mother at least until spring, when the weather warms enough for them to move to an outdoor space, Brandt said. Now, the outdoor area is too chilly, and given the cubs' penchant for tumbling, they could hurt themselves, she said.
"It's something of an old wives' tale that cats always land on their feet," Brandt said with a laugh. The indoor exhibit doesn't have any steep ledges the cubs could fall from, but hay has been spread around on the floor to give it extra cushioning, just in case, she said.
The two male cubs were the second litter born to JoJo and father Rakata. Breeding tigers can be a challenge because of the animals' solitary, territorial natures, Brandt said, and because it's difficult to predict how two tigers will react to each other. Zookeepers have to get to know the personalities of the tigers and make an educated guess about which tigers will get along, much less be able to breed, she said.
It took zookeepers years to get JoJo and Rakata accustomed to each other, she said.
Now, Rakata is kept in an adjacent den, where he can see and sniff his family through a mesh door. But, as is typical with tiger fathers, he's rather indifferent toward his cubs, Brandt said.

We have MORE snow than freaking Alaska!!! Thats just WRONG.
I saw these tweets from Jeff Verszyla ( @verz) Friday night. He is Kdka's weather man. (that I love cause he tweets me back):
AND Later in the evening:
Snowapalooza stats...feb 5-26...13 days w/ measurable snow, snow total = 42.2
(in 3 weeks!)...avg high = 34 (normal hi is 41) about 9 hours ago via web
Ready 2 close snow shop for business 2day...latest total for feb 2010,*headdesk*
46.6...total for season 73.8"...please stop, now! about 2 hours ago via web
I am sick of the "death grip on the steering wheel" drive this month or the near death experience of sliding across route 228 because despite the heavy traffic on the road... it SUCKS every. single. time. it snows. I saw 4 accidents on the way home tonight on 79 & 279.
I think we should be grateful that PennDOT put up all those weird little bars, with and with out the cables along 79 and 279. I predict that when the snow melts, FINALLY, that we will see how many cross over accidents they prevented due to this Shitty, Stupid, F&%$ing Snow.
I *promise* that when its humid and 90 in a couple months, you wont hear a PEEP of complaints from me.
CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOVEL HUMIDITY. Or Heat.
Or scrape it off your car, or fall in it and get dirty wet snow all over you. Or skid and slide the whole way home from work.
Cause dumb people wont stop in the middle of the highway (asshole) because its TOO SUNNY. (I didn't make that up.)
Proof that really happened from the PG:
"At least she wasn't texting" Feb 12, 2010
From the Beaver County Times: Since the snow started falling last Friday, local emergency officials have sent a consistent message: If you don't have to go out on the roads, or you're afraid of driving in the snow, just stay home. PennDOT spokesman Jim Struzzi said the best example why officials have been urging that happened shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday. As the heavy snow was winding down, a woman was driving a small car in the right lane on I-376 in Robinson Township, near the off-ramp leading to The Pointe at North Fayette and Robinson Town Centre.
Struzzi said the woman, who wasn't named, apparently became frightened because of the poor road conditions and didn't want to drive anymore, so she simply stopped her car in the right lane.
That created problems for other motorists who were sliding on slush to get around the woman, Struzzi said. PennDOT crews saw the car on surveillance cameras and sent out a member of the agency's Parkway Service Patrol to help the woman.
Struzzi said that when a member of the patrol arrived, they found the woman sitting in her car, reading a book, waiting for storm conditions to improve.
That's right kids, read that again.... SHE WAS READING A BOOK ON THE HIGHWAY. I think my brain wants to implode. What makes a person think that it is SAFE to stop in the MIDDLE of the highway EVER, and throw it in park??? And THEN whip out a book!!!???
I would love to find that lady and CLUB her in the head with that f&%$ing book. She is too stupid to be allowed to drive. Or even breathe. The highways have a shoulder to pull over on for a reason for goodness sake.
Btw, I disabled Anonymous comments on my blog because people were calling me racist and a coward over a sarcastic guest post from a reader, but were too much a coward to IDENTIFY themselves.
SO, F&%$ You. You want to call me names in comments??? OWN UP TO IT. BITCH.

In total contrast to last week, this weekend's the weather was rather unpleasant, and not just for someone wearing a heavy double-breasted tunic. (Lots of people falling out from the heat!) It did not, however, deter guests from attending. The fairies are always popular with the families.

OK, challenge accepted! Continue reading

All Hallows Eve 2013 was all about the weather.
Beautiful weather Saturday brought out guests in droves. The print-your-own tickets were especially popular this week, and those take a little more work on our part. (Think about the difference between handling printer paper and card stock). I also took over as much of the scanning of tickets as I could with the goal of freeing up the rest of the Beefeaters to focus on greeting everyone instead of just taking and scanning the tickets. I was so busy in fact I was mostly unable to enjoy in one of my favourite parts of AHE; costume watching. Still I managed to spot a few interesting ones. Lots of Shreks. Lots of Waldos. Lots of anime characters, Naruto, Dragon Ball and Pokemon being the most numerous of these, but a few more obscure ones too. Lots of Star Trek, the weirdest being the couple in the courtyard taking turns spanking each other. (Yeah, me neither.) Multiple Doctor Whos. Legions of Storm Troopers, Jedi and Darth Vaders. Scads of Zombies. A fair number of Sailors. (What, was it Fleet Week too?) Some of the good ones were the 'Fantasy Horses' who… Continue reading
Eating Our Way Through the Weekend
Ah, the second weekend weather was pure bliss after the hellish sauna of week one. I was tempted to say I was a bit chilly couple of times, with the alternative still fresh in my mind from the week before I didn't dare say a word. The crowds reflected the nice weather too, as we had around 30,000 both days setting a second weekend attendance record.
This week our goal was to sample some of the new foods at the festival this year. First up was the Teriyaki Chicken at new Asian Food booth… What's that? We're Beefeaters, how can we possibly eat anything but beef? OK, look, if we are going to name ourselves based on what we consume then we'd have to be called the Beerdrinkers. Somehow that doesn't really have the same charm to it does it? I really can't believe you don't want us to have little variety in our menu. Really, beef all the time gets a little boring. Will it help if I tell you it was free range chicken? No? Well you're just going to have to deal with it because the Teriyaki… Continue reading
The TRF Really Want You to Go to the Festival This Year… on Sunday
Did you know that starting this year that the price for a ticket to the TRF is different depending on which day of the weekend you go to the festival? That's right; going on a Sunday will save you $3 per adult and $2 per child when you purchase your ticket online or at one of at one of the ticket outlet locations*.
Savings could add up pretty quickly. I figure with a little planning the average family could save the cost of one or two beer easily. Continue reading

Who won football's Super Bowl? In my world there is more interest in what ads were more successful than news of the game itself. Which commercials resonated the most with the target audiences? Which ones garnered kudos from creatives at the top agencies? And which ones might give you some shooting ideas?
Spend some time reviewing the ads and you'll see that you can piggyback on the research that went into the themes and trends in the ads to come up with some ideas for yourself.
I spent most of today doing the "Monday morning quarterback thing" viewing dozens of the ads that I missed by being in one of the only places in the U.S. where the game wasn't broadcast: an airplane in flight.
Not only are zillions of dollars spent in production and on broadcast fees for the coveted Super Bowl commercial time slots, the research that goes into pre-production creative research is probably the most extensive carried out in the development of any ads produced.
Themes that dominated this year: kids, humor (mostly of the ninth grade boy type), the economic downturn and, of course, that perennial favorite for guys of all ages who watch football: sexy women. No surprises except that advertisers have figured out how to try to sell products by talking about why no one has any money to buy them.
THE ECONOMY. A free breakfast for all Americans is offered in one commercial and an online broker's ads traded on the failing economy. Not much inspiration for still photographers except to take the theme and try to find new takes on the old story of recession. My fav of 'the economy sucks' themed commercials: here When things are bad, the good old days seem better. This commercial plays on a nostalgia theme and is my pick for the best of show.
HUMOR. With a full minute of airtime to make a joke, it's easier to be hilarious than when you must capture it in one click of the camera. As a consequence still photos that try to be funny almost always fail. Still images that are successful are less likely to be hammed up, staged shots than the grab shots you capture spontaneously as they unfold or at least look like you had your camera handy at exactly the right moment. Rule: keep the images looking as spur-of-the-moment as possible…your job is much harder since you don't have audio.
Many think this is the funniest ad and it has at least three stock photo ideas in it. Can you find them? Some critics say that the message was dated since people are holding on even to jobs they hate. I personally liked this one in the get-a -new job category. Or this ad combining a little sexy, with a little money and its funny.
SEX. The Super Bowl is broadcast at family time for TV ratings and so the use of sexy in the ads has to be restrained. The same need for restraint in sexy visuals applies to still photography for Dreamstime. Unless you put your images in the unfiltered content section, avoid frontal nudity and overly sexy images of women and men. Here's a typical Super Bowl ad use of female anatomy
CUTE THINGS. Many of the ads featured over the top cute children and animals. Who can resist? Especially if the theme also includes humor such as the Talking Babies campaign here and here
FOOTBALL The hoopla IS all about the game so no surprise that players and football themes were popular ad subjects as famous names in the game took on off field roles of product spokesmen. The only football players and game shots Dreamstime can accept must have all trademarks, logos and non-model released players removed and be for editorial licenses only as the faces of celebrities and team logos are forbidden in advertising without a prior multi-million dollar endorsement deal.

Hospital Beds are Suddenly in Short Supply
March 28, 2002
After years of eliminating beds and laying off workers, many hospitals are struggling to cope with surprising increases in the number of patients showing up. Some hospitals are being forced to turn away ambulances. At others, emergency room patients who are admitted wait hours or even days for rooms.
- Since 1985, the number of hospitals has declined 14 percent, with the number of beds shrinking 18 percent, according to the American Hospital Association.
- However, hospital admissions have risen to levels last seen in the mid-1980s.
- Just over 33 million people were admitted to hospitals in 2000 -- up from a low of 30.7 million in 1994.
- Outpatient visits to hospital clinics and emergency rooms have climbed 16 percent since 1997 -- to a total of 521 million.
A number of reasons are offered for the sudden influx of patients: insurers are allowing more patients to be treated in emergency rooms or to stay overnight; people who have lost their insurance along with their jobs are turning to emergency rooms for treatment; and the growing number of aging baby-boomers is increasing demand.
Experts are divided as to whether the increase in patient visits is a lasting change. But many suggest that shifting more health-care costs involved in hospital visits to patients could discourage over- reliance on hospitals in some non-life-threatening situations.

Blogs Cliopatria Shifting the GoalpostsJun 17, 2006 9:08 pm
Shifting the Goalposts
It will surprise no one who's followed the case that the faction impervious to new facts is oriented around Houston Baker. In late March, Baker penned an inflammatory open letter that seemed to demand the immediate expulsion of all the lacrosse players (Ralph Luker has disagreed on this point); Duke provost Peter Lange deemed Baker's remarks as based on prejudice. Tuesday's Durham Herald-Sun revealed that 15 professors of African-American Studies have rallied to Baker's defense. The group, which includes such prominent names as Columbia's Robin Kelley, Northwestern's Dwight McBride, and Penn's Thadious Davis, sent a missive accusing Lange of assuming "a lofty and condescending position of White authority over the insufficiencies of minority reason, thereby exemplifying one of the problems at Duke."
Having asserted as fact something for which absolutely no evidence exists, the signatories applied similar reasoning to the lacrosse case. They deemed their critique relevant "whatever the outcome of the criminal investigation of the rape of a Black woman college student by members of Duke's lacrosse team." In the words of one signatory, the letter writers were"too far away to make any judgment about who did what to whom"—except, of course, to say unequivocally that a "rape of a Black woman college student" occurred.
The African-American Studies professors proceeded from these two "facts"—that a "Black woman college student" was raped; and that Duke has a problem of the "condescending position of White authority over the insufficiencies of minority reason"—to criticize Duke for "concealing its contributions to a social order defined by inequities and racial preferences." (It's worth remembering that Kelley, et. al., were speaking about a university whose former philosophy chairman jokingly explained away the faculty's overwhelming ideological imbalance by noting, "If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally conservative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire.") Duke, they argue, needs to recognize "that the academics and departments that work assiduously to impart the best ethical and intellectual wisdom of their disciplines, which are always race, class, and gender inflected, are the most marginalized and under-appreciated among high administrative personnel and traditional disciplines across all academic domains." [emphasis added] Having screened out dissenters from the academy's prevailing race/class/gender orthodoxy, Kelley, et. al. recommended that Duke coordinate "major universities and colleges in a campaign of active, enlightened strategies to reduce the huge structural, material and social inequities in our society." That blatantly politicizing universities could threaten their fundamental mission to educate their students? Not a problem. That the Coleman Committee found no evidence of racist or sexist behavior by members of the lacrosse team; or that anyone who spends 30 minutes reading through the transcript of the photo ID session or the key prosecution witness statements can recognize that this case suffers from massive evidentiary and procedural flaws? Irrelevant.
To put it mildly, the Kelley, et. al., letter isn't a high point in the history of African-American Studies. But at least the signatories only have the lacrosse players committing one rape. Houston Baker is now suggesting that they could have committed multiple rapes. In a series of e-mails, including at least one to a reader of this blog, sent out before his departure from Duke for Vanderbilt, Baker asserted that "46 white guys on the Lacrosse Team at Duke were very bad actors in the aggregate and may well have raped more than one woman." His evidence for this claim? "The consumer entitlement of rich . . . students at Duke," which includes "more than a fair share of license for rape, marauding, violence against women, etc." My office-mate, Margaret King, has often said that many in the academy seem to be intellectually frozen in time, circa 1968. Baker proves the point: "White athletes (46 of them) at Duke; concentrate on that and figure that in 1968 at Duke it was whites who terrorized formerly forbidden black students." That in 1968 some whites did terrorize black students in no way justifies Baker's leveling unsubstantiated accusations against white students at Duke in 2006.
Most of Baker's former colleagues have taken a craftier approach. Despite the new evidence, they have maintained their condemnation of the lacrosse players' character. But to do so, they have reinvented themselves as temperance activists. That this shift has occurred without any acknowledgement of shortcomings in their earlier critiques casts doubt upon the sincerity of their newfound prohibitionist sentiments.
A few people—Ralph Luker is the best example—have expressed a strong concern over the alcohol issue from the start, arguing that a culture where alcohol is prominent conflicts with their vision of Duke. But for the Duke administration and activist faculty, the interest in temperance has increased in inverse proportion to the decline of the perceived strength of Mike Nifong's case and the credibility of claims that the players were sexists or racists. In short, rather than admit that their initial attacks on the lacrosse players' character contributed to what David Brooks correctly has termed a "witch hunt," the Duke administration and the players' faculty critics have acted as if their negative judgments always revolved around the alcohol issue—despite clear evidence to the contrary.
Take, for example, the Group of 88. Its so-called "listening" statement, issued in early April, lamented a "social disaster" that had befallen Duke. The statement described the lacrosse players' actions as part of a broader pattern of racism at Duke, and thanked protesters who had branded the players as rapists. But while race and rape were on the minds of the Group of 88, alcohol was not. Nowhere did the signatories assert that excessive alcohol consumption formed part of Duke's "social disaster": the statement contained not even a single mention about alcohol-induced behavior among Duke undergraduates.
But times change, and so, apparently, do arguments. Compare, for instance, two columns published by William Chafe, the most academically distinguished of the Group of 88. In a March 31 article in the Duke Chronicle, Chafe argued:
The events that occurred on Buchanan Boulevard two weeks ago are part of a deep and troubling history, [in which] . . . sex and race were both instruments of domination. White men of means could access and exercise power. Through most of our history, African Americans and women could not—and those who tried to act otherwise were perceived as"uppity," and slapped down. Worst of all, sex was an instrument by which racial power was manifested and perpetuated. Why are most African Americans of a lighter hue than Africans from Nigeria? Because at some point in the past, or present, white males have"had their way" with black women . . . and then, in a perverse form of projection, created the specter of black men seeking to rape white women. That is why most lynchings of black men in the late 19th and early 20th century were justified by accusing black men of lusting after white women—even though there was little evidence that such attacks ever took place. So sex and race have always interacted in a vicious chemistry of power, privilege, and control. Emmett Till was brutalized and lynched in Mississippi in 1954 for allegedly speaking with too easy familiarity to a white woman storekeeper . . . What has all this to do with America today, and with Duke? Among other things, it helps to put into context what occurred in Durham two weeks ago. The mixture of race and sex that transpired on Buchanan Boulevard is not new.
Chafe's early analysis has failed to stand the test of time. Indeed, while some (Nicholas Kristof comes to mind) continue to place events at Duke in the "context" of such past civil rights travesties as the Scottsboro Boys case, they are doing so because of the unethical behavior of state, not of the defendants. And it's turned out that even the two items specifically related to the case about which Chafe claimed "there is no question" actually rely on either the testimony of the second dancer, who after a recent interview with NPR has now offered three mutually exclusive versions of events; or statements incorrectly attributed to the second dancer by an anti-lacrosse local activist, Victoria Peterson.
Yet while Chafe's March 31 piece made not a single mention of alcohol, his May 3 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, which was as hostile to the lacrosse players as its March 31 predecessor, detected the previously-unmentioned alcohol issue as a major problem for the Duke campus. The May 3 column, in fact, contained no less than seven separate mentions of alcohol or campus drinking. This newfound temperance spirit was accompanied by a decline in claims that 19th or 20th century lynchings provided the best "context" to understand the lacrosse players' behavior. Chafe's piece in the Chronicle contained no high-minded comparisons between the accuser's plight and that of Emmitt Till, or, indeed, any mention at all of his previously preferred "context" of lynching.
To date, neither Chafe nor anyone else in the Group of 88 has explained why, though neither the group's initial statement nor Chafe's early column did not even once mention alcohol, these heirs of the 1960s and 1970s free-spirited academic left have suddenly felt the urge to stage a revival of the Durham branch of the WCTU—and to do so, coincidentally, just as evidence that their earlier insinuations of rape, racism, and sexism began to vanish. Surely this newfound concern with temperance couldn't represent a hypocritical attempt to pin something on the lacrosse players, now that the factual premises of the "listening" statement and other early remarks by group members appear unsustainable?
In the press, the "listening" faculty have gained warm support from Durham Herald-Sun columnist John McCann, another convert to the evils of Demon Rum. By participating in a "drunken orgy" over spring break, McCann asserted (in a June 1 column that is no longer available on the Herald-Sun's website), "the lacrosse boys brought [the prosecution] on themselves—even if the accuser's lying." I'd invite McCann to peruse the 48,593 photos that appear on webshots.com by typing in "spring break drinking." Is he seriously claiming that if a politically ambitious, ethically dubious prosecutor like Mike Nifong charged any of the people in these 48,593 photos with rape, they would have "brought it on themselves—even if the accuser's lying"?
Even more bizarrely, McCann targeted Reade Seligmann, the one defendant who has produced an airtight alibi (a video of himself someplace else while the crime allegedly was occurring). He noted that while Seligmann's "mama and daddy" can keep him "out of jail on a $400,000 bond," Seligmann won't be able to attend classes until Nifong's charges are dismissed or a trial occurs. But this, McCann sermonized, "is the kind of stuff that happens when you don't keep your nose clean."
Really? We know that Seligmann did two things: he attended a spring break party that he played no role in organizing; and he drank some beer. And unless the Wachovia ATM video and a plethora of other evidence is manufactured, that's all he did. He had no disciplinary record. His academic record was positive. Thousands of people—ranging from his former headmaster to casual acquaintances—have praised his personal character. Does McCann really believe that, by attending a party and drinking beer, Seligmann brought upon himself a suspension from school, death threats, being listed alongside Hitler by one MSNBC commentator, and having his photo branded on the cover of Newsweek under the headline "sex, lies, and Duke"?
Perhaps McCann is aiming to moonlight for the Duke PR office, where his ideas would seem right at home. As with the Group of 88, the administration of President Richard Brodhead has engaged in increasingly creative revisionist history. Brodhead's first major statement on the case came in an open letter dated April 5. This document, which totaled 2401 words, contained a grand total of three sentences devoted to alcohol or campus drinking. And two of those passages were related not to the drinking issue per se but to the "attitudes" associated with groups who drank a lot. The focus of Brodhead's remarks? Rape, racism, and sexism, with the lacrosse players the targeted group.
Rape is the substitution of raw power for love, brutality for tenderness, and dehumanization for intimacy. It is also the crudest assertion of inequality, a way to show that the strong are superior to the weak and can rightfully use them as the objects of their pleasure. When reports of racial abuse are added to the mix, the evil is compounded, reviving memories of the systematic racial oppression we had hoped to have left behind us . . . The episode has brought to glaring visibility . . . concerns of women about sexual coercion and assault, . . . concerns about the culture of certain student groups that regularly abuse alcohol and the attitudes these groups promote, [and] . . . concerns about the survival of the legacy of racism, the most hateful feature American history has produced. Compounding and intensifying these issues of race and gender, they include concerns about the deep structures of inequality in our society—inequalities of wealth, privilege, and opportunity (including educational opportunity), and the attitudes of superiority those inequalities breed . . . The objection of our East Campus neighbors was a reaction to an attitude of arrogant inconsiderateness that reached its peak in the alleged event but that had long preceded it [How can anything "reach its peak" in an "alleged event"?] . . . The huge majority of Duke students are well-behaved and good-hearted, and many work hard for the larger social good . . . [the university will] suggest improvements in the ways Duke educates students in the values of personal responsibility, consideration for others, and mutual respect in the face of difference and disagreement. The goal of this [campus culture] initiative is not to tell students 'what to think' in some simplistic or doctrinaire way [Don't bet on it.]. Nevertheless, this is our chance to take the ethical dimension of education much more seriously than heretofore.
So, to summarize: in his April 5 statement, Brodhead never once expressed doubt that a rape occurred, and offered several lines ("rape is the substitution of raw power . . .") that seemed to accept one of Nifong's central (and, as it increasingly appears, inaccurate) premises—that a rape actually happened. "Racial abuse," he admitted, was confined to "reports"—but he then recommended a slew of campus initiatives based on the assumption that racial abuse had in fact occurred. The "alleged event" showed that Duke hadn't been serious enough about either the "ethical dimension of education" or addressing the "inequalities of wealth, privilege, and opportunity (including educational opportunity), and the attitudes of superiority those inequalities breed." And apparently the lacrosse players, unlike the "huge majority" of Duke students, weren't "good-hearted."
Exactly two months later, on June 5, Brodhead released his next major statement on the case. By this point, of course, no one outside of Nifong's office or the Kelley/Baker orbit dared assert, as fact, that a rape occurred. Nor, in light of the Coleman Committee's findings, could anyone responsibly claim that the lacrosse players were racists or sexists. Yet, as I've noted before, the 2342 words of the June 5 letter sustained the administration's harshly negative style. But a new sin justified the condemnatory tone—consumption of alcohol. Brodhead fretted about:
questions of student conduct that range far beyond the March 13 party and that are sources of concern whether the legal charges are upheld or not, [including] behavior that is thoughtless of others, among them our off-campus neighbors . . . and the abuse of alcohol. In the wake of events of this spring, we have recognized the need to clarify the standards of behavior that will be expected of all Duke students. We also need to clarify our expectations for students in off-campus settings . . . If and when Duke resumes the playing of men's lacrosse, we cannot return to the status quo as of March 12. Though it did not confirm the worst allegations against this team, the Coleman Committee documented a history of irresponsible conduct [which related solely to alcohol; all other mention of the players' conduct in the report was unequivocally positive] that this university cannot allow to continue . . . Whether or not the felony charges are upheld against the three indicted students, the fact is that members of the team engaged in irresponsible and dishonorable behavior on the evening of March 13, and those who were involved bear responsibility for their actions.
Auditioning for the role of a 21st century Frances Willard, Brodhead pushed through a new "team standard" that prohibited consumption of underage alcohol or alcohol-involved parties at which underage students were present. He added a five-pronged "mission statement" to which all players had to pledge, with high-minded clauses unrelated to alcohol ("We will place primacy on our academic endeavors, and recognize the importance of intellectual growth throughout our undergraduate careers";"Through our interactions on campus and in the broader community, we will demonstrate the virtues of compassion, sensitivity, and respect"). The mere outlining of these standards suggested that the players hadn't met them—the administrative equivalent of asking a man when he stopped beating his wife. Yet the findings of the Coleman Committee unequivocally held that the behavior of nearly all team members had conformed to these values.
An emerging problem, however, threatens to bedevil Duke's new temperance crusade. Before March 13, an informal win/win/win arrangement seems to have existed regarding consumption of alcohol by Duke students. The administration would look the other way, provided underage drinking occurred off campus. Students could drink as they pleased, provided they were willing to pay nominal (usually $100) penalties or perform minimal community service if cited by local authorities. Durham could increase its coffers with fines collected from non-residents, provided its officials didn't abuse the privilege enough to invite pressure from Duke alumni or parents. The only losers in this arrangement were those who lived nearby the off-campus residences occupied by around 25% of Duke's undergraduates.
Several weeks ago, however, Nifong revoked the deals regarding the 15 lacrosse players (but not the other 385 Duke students cited for comparable offenses). But an unexpected development has occurred: the drinking charges haven't stood up. To date, judges have dismissed the two cases that have come to court; there's every reason to expect more forthcoming dismissals. The net result: by the end of the summer, a good chance exists that the percentage of alcohol-related offenses by lacrosse players will be essentially the same as that for Duke undergraduates as a whole.
Since admitting their early condemnations were overstated isn't an alternative for Brodhead or the Group of 88, expect Durham's WCTU revival to abruptly end. Options for a new sin to pin on the players aren't many, but one does exist. In spring 2004, Professor Peter Wood complained to the administration when some lacrosse players missed one of his Friday classes to attend a practice. (An extracurricular obligation leading students to miss one class? Shocking!) But after the scandal erupted, Wood's tale expanded into previously unmentioned territory, assaulting the players' academic integrity. The Coleman Committee found no evidence to substantiate these new allegations; even Wood's T.A. could not confirm his revisionist claims. But she offered her professor a concession: the players, she said, had exhibited "aggressive body language." She hastened to add that: (1) she hadn't commented about this issue at the time; (2) she had received no complaints on the matter from any students in the class; and (3) she could recall no specific event in which the players' "aggressive body language" was memorable. This is the perfect offense: since it's wholly subjective and no one can remember it, it can't be disproved.
As part of the team's new "mission statement," Brodhead required each lacrosse player to pledge to "display the courage necessary to advocate just causes in the face of public or social pressures." Since March 14, that's what each and every member of the lacrosse team seems to have done. They have faced extraordinary public pressure from a local prosecutor who has operated under the premise that state ethics guidelines don't apply to him. On campus, their own administration refused to stand up for their basic rights, while they faced harsh attacks from the only faculty publicly commenting about their status. And yet the lacrosse players have maintained fidelity to the most basic of "just causes"—the belief that authorities should follow normal procedures for all, regardless of the race, class, or gender of the subjects under investigation. Unfortunately, operating in an atmosphere of academic groupthink, both Brodhead and the Group of 88 have seemed much more willing than members of the team to bend to "public or social pressures." Perhaps it's time for the Duke administration and faculty to adopt a new mission statement?

The better solution would be for Duke to have all of its undergrads live on campus. Even in dorms, undergrads often are loud and party, especially on weekend nights. When I taught at Williams, I lived in a faculty apt. in a student dorm, and didn't particularly like it when neighbors were loud. But I wouldn't have implicitly supported the local prosecutor railroading them on trumped-up charges, or signed a Group of 88-like statement publicly denouncing them, either.
Ralph E. Luker - 6/19/2006
I suspect that someone in Durham would be happy to sell 608 or 612 Buchanan Blvd to any of you who are complaining about local attitudes toward Duke lacrosse team players.
Robert KC Johnson - 6/19/2006
My apologies for overlooking this thoughtful post.
I plead guilty to the charge that I'm engaging in a bit of 20/20 hindsight in my critique of Brodhead--my original interpretations of him were far milder.
I changed perspective for two reasons: 1.) His failure to protest Nifong's decision to send police to campus to question the students outside presence of their counsel. This was an easy call--Nifong's actions were clearly wrong, and the matter was wholly procedural. In this circumstance, Brodhead's silence contributed to the witch hunt.
2.) His June 5 statement, which was phrased in such a way to suggest that the allegations against the players remained intellectually viable and seemed to suggest, without reason to do so, that Nifong was interested in "truth and justice."
Robert KC Johnson - 6/19/2006
I agree completely. I'm not of the 60s generation, and I admit that my college behavior mirrored Ralph's. But the idea that this particular group--60s radicals and their intellectual heirs--spent their college experience avoiding alcohol and drugs is a little hard to swallow.
Robert KC Johnson - 6/19/2006
Excellent point. I think that recruitment as a whole at Duke will suffer. The combination of the extraordinary local antipathy on display, Nifong's lack of ethics, and the institution's apparent willingness to join in the witch hunt I would think would give any parent considerable pause before sending his or her son to the school.
Duke Martin - 6/19/2006
Adding my own experience: Yesterday at a barbeque where the uncle of a local basketball phee-nom was present: the opinion was made that Duke will have a tough time recruiting from now on. He said his nephew was strongly leaning to Duke both because of Coach K and the academics but the recruiters from all the other colleges were pointing out the witch hunt at Duke complete with documentation. His nephew has all but ruled out Duke and is leaning strongly to Stanford, UCLA, or Georgetown with UCLA his most likely choice. You can bet every blue chipper in the country is very well read about the "rape" of that "poor Black Woman" and will consider options.
Oscar Chamberlain - 6/18/2006
Do remember that most of this evidence against the charged being filed has been released by the defense. Please also remember that it is a standard defense ploy in rape cases to bring the alledged victims veracity into question.
You have not heard her explanation of the discrepancies.
Henry Allen Mitchell - 6/18/2006
Good point. Most of the kids and professors today are so ready to be offended and hysterical at the drop of a hat, it leaves scarcely any time to contemplate something more elevated.
If a terrorist knows where a bomb is that will go off in :10 minutes, what do you do? Undergrad answer: ask him if he's hurt or sick, if he needs medical attention, and if his father beat him as a child.
Boom! We're all dead, but pleased with ourselves.

On the other hand, I was an early '80's spoiled professional's son, enjoying too much beer/liquor--it was legal to drink beer at 18 then--occasional sexual indiscretion, occasional rite of passage stripper show.
This kind of stuff used to be pretty tame stuff, but the climate is different. Then, the PC stuff was just starting to assert itself. I don't think we were in jeopardy of having the race rowdies like Jackson and Black Panthers come to complain about us hiring a stripper at a college party. It just wasn't a big deal.
Now, you have to get a written release to date a girl, or hire a stripper . . .
Henry Allen Mitchell - 6/18/2006
I am but 43. But I studied history at Davidson, and enjoyed that discipline.
And I was not directing this comment at all '60's students, but only those like the professorial class who were largely the devotees of the "free love/drugs" lifestyle as religion.
Most of the guys and gals populating the faculty lounge at Duke and other colleges and universities are cut from the same cloth due to the hiring biases that exist in higher ed.
Ralph E. Luker - 6/18/2006
If I may say so, you two sound like a couple of 60-somethings recalling your own decadence. As a matter of fact, I too am a 60-something. Whatever stereotypes you like to indulge, we were not all drinking and doping in the 1960s. Some of us were at Duke, were serious students, and honorably earned the local prosecutor's wrath in the civil rights movement. I wish I saw some of the same determination on positive social change in Duke's lacrosse team.
Ivan Fosheim - 6/18/2006
Outstanding point. The campus of this and every other university is inhabited and run by the "don't trust anyone over30," "if it feels good do it," "f*** you, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today" generation. Raised in a climate of situational ethics, they did not hesitate a moment to throw the Duke players under the bus. After all, they were under attack by the professional race baiters, their natural allies and ideological brethren. Given a choice between right and expediency, there was never question. God, these people are vile.
Henry Allen Mitchell - 6/18/2006
I just read that Newsweek article. That's great. Blame the 'blogs!
Good comments here, KC. I agree with you. I initially thought the opposite when I first heard the unequivocal comments from Nifong. But, the prosecution is a joke.
I'm a lawyer in Durham although not a trial lawyer anymore. I rarely go to the courthouse (thank the Lord). But, I never got the sense that Nifong was a particularly good prosecutor. Now we know for sure.
The two items that stand out at least one of which ought to be persuasive a trial: the accuser's story changed when she was about to be involuntarily committed, and the reaction of the kids when the lawyer said they could give DNA samples or fight the subpoena. The kids all got up without indecision and drove downtown to cooperate, despite Nifong's assertion of "covering" for each other.
Robert KC Johnson - 6/18/2006
Newsweek has a lengthy story just out, given added credibility by the fact that it was co-authored by editor Evan Thomas. The conclusion: "Court documents in the case increasingly suggest that Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong had very little evidence upon which to indict three players for rape. Indeed, the available evidence is so thin or contradictory that it seems fair to ask what Nifong could have been thinking when he confidently told reporters that there was "no doubt" in his mind that the woman had been raped at the party held by the lacrosse team."
Nifong's sole comment: "None of the 'facts' I know at this time, indeed, none of the evidence I have seen from any source, has changed the opinion that I expressed initially"; and he lashed out at "media speculation," adding, "and it is even worse on the blogs."
Robert KC Johnson - 6/18/2006
If I believed that "Durham's crusaders against alcohol" were in any way sincere, I'd agree wholeheartedly with that you say. But if they were sincere, they would have used the initial reports as a "teachable moment," and said this is the sort of problem that comes when students drink too much. But, as the post above points out, they didn't do that. The initial statements on the faculty side--statements to which I've linked--contained absolutely no mention of alcohol consumption and its problems; Brodhead's initial statement basically ignored the issue, discussing it primarily in the context of the (racist, sexist) ideas associated with people who rank a lot. Instead, they did things like say "thank you" to the protesters who were branding the players rapists, or cite the lynching of Emmitt Till as the proper context for understanding events on the night of March 13-14.
In part I see no teaching role on this matter because I've seen how colleges have abused their teaching role on other behavior-related issues in the last 15 years. But I agree with you wholeheartedly in the ideal world, one would be possible.
The Duke people would have a lot more credibility on this issue if they accompanied their sudden obsession with alcohol in analyzing this case with statements that their initial insinuations and allegations about racism, sexism, and rape were wrong.
Robert KC Johnson - 6/18/2006
I agree with all three statements, most notably the problem of any traumatized woman in making an identification.
Given (2) and (3), it is possible at this point at say that even while Seligmann is demonstrably innocent--a strong statement, but one I think is wholly justified at this stage in time--another member of the team might be guilty; and if so, while this would still be a legal monstrosity, the Duke response might be somewhat tenable.
That gets into the question of proving a negative, but one that in this case I believe is possible. The general attack described by the accuser--a violent assault lasting 30 minutes--was (a) inconsistent with the version of events described by the second dancer and authenticated by photos from the scene; and (b) inconsistent with no DNA from any of the players. Even Nifong, in his court filing, confidently stated that given the facts of this alleged crime, DNA would have implicated the guilty. He then changed his tune when no DNA match arrived.
Those facts leave us with (1). I would submit that the only reason we still have (1) is that this case happened to coincide with the recent appointment of a prosecutor in Durham who has proven to be deeply unethical. I initially thought a combination of incompetence and bad judgment might explain Nifong's actions, but after the most recent defense filing, which released the initial statements of the second dancer, the policeman who initially responded, the man who had "driven" the accuser to four "appointments" in the 72 hours before the incident, and a sworn summary of the medical report--the whole evidence the authorities would have had, along with the accuser's multiple versions of events and the three captains' statements, which all denied that anything occurred, when Nifong first publicly proclaimed that a rape occurred, on March 27--I can't see any way a fair prosecutor could have believed that a crime occurred in this case.
Henry Allen Mitchell - 6/18/2006
One little problem. The accuser has substantial credibility issues outside the scope of identification of the "rapists."
She has accused her fellow stripper at one point of assisting the "rapists." The other stripper says the whole thing is a "crock."
The medical and other documentary evidence shows that the accuser only came up with a rape story when the cops had taken her to a mental health facility for evaluation and detox.
This is an important part of the story few are paying attention to. She had a motive to lie--to get out of the mental ward. And that's why her story changed so substantially over time beyond the identification issue.
Henry Allen Mitchell - 6/18/2006
Proceeds from its leadership, or lack thereof, rather from its students.
What do you think these same professors and administrators were doing when they were 18-21 year olds in school? Toking, drinking, and whoring per the zeitgeist of the age of Aquarius. Where do you think the students got the idea? These are the fruits of their parents' and professors' generation.
The faculty and admin. are purely reactive. There are no real standards except for those invented in the moment of a great "scandal." The scandal is higher ed.
Oscar Chamberlain - 6/18/2006
KC you have made it clear that there is a mess here, a bigger one that I thought at first.
However, I would say to you and even more to others above that
1. there is still a rape charge here
2. the main public argument against the charge involves something that is often a problem in rape cases--the difficulty of the rape victim in identifying the attacker. If her basic charge is true, that problem of identification could have been compounded by the sea of faces that surrounded her , and
3. if she was raped at that party, something that is not yet proven, even if she misidentified the rapist, it has pretty much has to have been a member of the team.

Thomas M Comerford - 6/17/2006
Plus ça change. Read Evelyn Waugh's 1928 Decline and Fall (that's 78 years ago since you can't subtract), which starts on the night of the annual orgy of Oxford's most aristocratic dining club:
"From the rooms of Sir Alistair Digby-Vane-Trumpington [a student] came a confused roaring and breaking of glass…
"At the last dinner… a fox had been brought in in a cage and stoned to death with champagne bottles….
"A shriller note could now be heard rising from Sir Allistair's rooms; any who had heard that sound would shrink from the recollection of it; it is the sound of the English country families braying for broken glass. Soon they would be all tumbling out into the quad, crimson and roaring in their bottle-green evening coats, for the real romp of the evening…
" There must be fifty of them at least' said Mr. Postelwaite [the Domestic Bursar]…'Fifty of them at ten pounds [fine] each. Oh my!'
" 'It'll be more if they attack the chapel' said Mr. Sniggs [the junior Dean] 'Oh please God, make them attack the chapel' "
Mark Douglas Jaeger - 6/17/2006
Indeed. The case against the lacrosse players appears to be crumbling faster than a three week-old vanilla wafer. If I were a Vegas odds-maker, I'd say the following outcomes are likely:
1. All of the accused are going to be acquitted.
2. They will immediately turn around around and slap massive defamation lawsuits on Duke.
3. If the plaintiffs win, they may very well put Duke University, for all intents and purposes, out of business.
We'll see what happens, but, in my view, this case could be a tipping point; the beginning of the end of academic PC insanity.

To speak of "Durham's crusaders against alcohol" is to refuse to acknowledge that that is, in many ways, precisely what they are not. Those who insist that students consume alcohol responsibly are simply _not_ blue-nosed prohibitionists. It is they who believe that undergraduates are capable of being responsible young adults. One of my students at Antioch taught me this. He had finally gone on the wagon just after a binge, when he had a broken beer bottle in his hand and was about to attack his best friend. It's sad that KC sees no teaching role for administrators or faculty members who could help students to understand where that cliff is -- before they march right up to it themselves. Some, like my student at Antioch, will pull back from it. Others, like some of the Duke lacrosse players, will plunge right ahead and find themselves in a heap of trouble.

William Chafe, of the Group of 88, makes some observations and conclusions regarding relations between the races that reflect an ancient history at odds with contemporary facts. In fact, Chafe is attempting to use this ancient history to convict the lacrosse players--a history inapplicable and inadmissable when considering the contemporary facts.
In contrast to Chafe's allusion to the cause of the lighter skin hue of African-Americans, when compared to Nigerians, contemporary social science data would point out that black men date, and marry, white women at a vastly higher rate than the reverse. So it would be more accurate to say that it is black men that have "had their way" with white women, despite Chafe's contrary assertions.
More troubling though is Chafe's unironic bit of historical analysis that white males, "in a perverse form of projection, created the specter of black men seeking to rape white women. That is why most lynchings of black men in the late 19th and early 20th century were justified by accusing black men of lusting after white women—even though there was little evidence that such attacks ever took place." The "projection" is a result of the asserted fact that white males "had their way" with black women.
The irony of inserting this historical analysis into the contemporary story is that it is the opposite of the facts of the current era. A review of Justice Department crime statistics will illustrate that white males do not rape black women, and that white women are the victim of nearly one-half of all rapes committed by black males.
The tragedy of our country's racist past is just that, tragic. But worse still, is the perpetuation of that past into a type of "universal truth" at odds with the facts regarding race and rape in this country.
Statistics don't prove anything, but they do illustrate data at odds with the myths used as argument by Chafe.

I am pretty much with you except for the critique of Prof. Brodhead.
The problems I have seem to arise from your using 20/20 hindsight. It does not shock me that B's first letter did not focus on underage drinking - is that what you would have focused on then?
Recall that the facts then were pretty sketchy and prosecutors with 27 years of experience win convictions in say 90% of their cases.
A lack of "rah rah" support for the lax team then was understandable, at that time.
I also think you set the bar too low in saying lax players do ok academically and that is all that matters.
Duke spends say $500,000 per year on lax, or say $10,000 plus per player per year.
If, instead, Duke said we will pay you that $10,000 but we want you to use it for say research in Haiti (helping Dr. Farmer), or working on your start-up next-generation Facepage venture, or building the next Microsoft, would that be better?
Recall, these Duke spots are for the "best and brightest." We may not be doing folks like EF&S any favors in pushing for lax in place of other sorts of ventures.
For example, if Evans and his family had spent say 8 years working on a robotics or genetics or nanotechnology genius, rather than a lax prodigy, would they and Duke be better off?
Just food for thought before we get too preachy about the Coleman report and the "clean bill" it supposedly gives the lax program.
One more gripe: when you say you are giving a summary, give a summary, not an argument:
"So, to summarize: in his April 5 statement, Brodhead never once expressed doubt that a rape occurred, and offered several lines ("rape is the substitution of raw power . . .") that seemed to accept one of Nifong's central (and, as it increasingly appears, inaccurate) premises—that a rape actually happened."
As I recall, he made it clear that the guilt issue was to be decided in court, and the factual versions varied markedly. He was not properly called on to say "I think they are not guilty" or "I think they are guilty."
"'Racial abuse,' he admitted, was confined to 'reports'—but he then recommended a slew of campus initiatives based on the assumption that racial abuse had in fact occurred."
This is not summary, this is your spin. The campus iniatives were logical and have proved useful (Coleman report, B&C report, judicial procedures report), or at least not harmful. They were based on neutral charter documents.
"The 'alleged event' showed that Duke hadn't been serious enough about either the 'ethical dimension of education' or addressing the 'inequalities of wealth, privilege, and opportunity (including educational opportunity), and the attitudes of superiority those inequalities breed.' And apparently the lacrosse players, unlike the 'huge majority' of Duke students, weren't 'good-hearted.'"
The Pres. did not opine on the heart of the lax players. The lax team tradition of hiring a stripper each spring (or going to a strip club) and its tradition of underage tailgate party drinking, with Coach meeting all drunk players at the flag pole to make sure they stop drinking and go see the football game, suggests room for improvement. Pres. B was well within his rights in saying we are not going to accept the status quo.
Generally, thanks for some fine writng about an interesting subject!
Robert KC Johnson - 6/17/2006
As Stuart notes above, I fully confess to hyperbole. And with a purpose: the WCTU activists were, at least, genuine in their beliefs. I see no evidence that the newfound crusaders against alcohol at Duke are: that was the whole point of this essay. If they were so concerned as it applied to this specific case, why no mention of the issue in their initial condemnations? Given (as you note) the alcohol issue seems to have been a campus concern for many years, you'd think it would have immediately come up. Yet it's not in the Chafe article, it's not in the Group of 88 statement, and it's barely in the Brodhead statement. Only once the initial allegations in these statements became unprovable did we start seeing large-scale mentioning of alcohol/underage drinking from the folks at Duke. The timing of that, to be blunt, strikes me as highly suspicious.
On the affair itself: the captains themselves have admitted that it was a mistake holding the party. I don't know of anyone who has claimed otherwise--I certainly haven't. But it's worth remembering that the worst alleged aspects of the affair--which, as you point out, were "racially hinged remarks and team players releaving themselves from the front porch"--come from one and only one source: Ms. Roberts, a/k/a Ms. Pittman, the second dancer. (All sides, including the neighbor, have conceded that as Ms. Roberts/Pittman departed, she said a nasty racially charged remark to one of the players, and one of the players responded similarly. But Ms. Roberts/Pittman is the only witness to the claim of repeated racial taunts, just as she is the only witness to the broomstick comment--which she has not described in three, mutually exclusive, ways.) Ms. Roberts/Pittman has, as I noted in the post, told at least three general versions of events, and sent an email early on to a publicist asking for help in how she could make money off the case. Without corroboration, I find it hard to take what she says at face value.
But I have no problem with condemning the event. What I do have a problem with is the general condemnation of a group of students whose personal behavior was thoroughly investigated by the Coleman Committee and found to be, by and large, commendable; and with what seems to me the cynical use of campus drinking to obscure the fact that lots of people at Duke contributed to a witch hunt atmosphere that, in retrospect, is impossible to defend.
Stuart Taylor - 6/17/2006
Methinks the gentleman (Ralph Luker) doth protest too much. Perhaps someone could introduce him to a professor who could explain what most of us learned in 9th grade English about a rhetorical device called hyperbole.
Bruce Rheinstein - 6/17/2006
Publicly labeling someone a rapist is about as close to the dictionary definition of defamation per se as you can get.
Tim Pfister - 6/17/2006
It is obvious that no rape occured. The idea that college students,of any age, drink alcohol is not exactly new. Even traditionly Black colleges have this as a daily event. The gloried '60s were filled with drugs AND alcohol. I know, I was there. The continued pandering to race hustlers is painful to watch but all too common. The rush to judgement will unravel but the race-baiters will be undeterred,now and in the future.
The black "college" student could also be described as a stripper/prostitute.
Ivan Fosheim - 6/17/2006
This time there are real rapes going on at Duke. And in broad daylight. The intellectual rapists on the Duke campus are reacting as the actual charges against the lacrosse players are proving more and more likely to be perjured.
The reaction of the faculty and the bleating of the administration is right out of the grievance industry playbook and it works every time because the nuclear weapon of these race hustlers is so terrifying to the people who head these universities that all they can do is grab their ankles and bend over.
It puts me in mind of the Iran-Iraq war; they both deserve to lose.
As you may be able to tell, I am not a member of the faculty of any university. The antics of the inmates of this asylum would be funny if it did not involve real lives and real people.
Ralph E. Luker - 6/17/2006
KC, The tone of this is just so way off the mark that I despair of reasoning with you. A) All the sneering references to WCTU, prohibition, temperance, etc., plays to stereotypes every bit as denigrating as any that the people you've criticized for that have done. It ignores all evidence that the temperance movement arose in protest against widely irresponsible and destructive over-consumption of alcohol in 19th century America. That it arose primarily among women is pretty good evidence of its male abuse and destructive effects on family life. B) No one has re-created a blue-nose temperance movement in Durham for the blue devils. Your cynical attitude about the possibility of Duke students behaving in a responsible manner -- constraining the alcohol-released racism and sexism -- is deeply depressing. It entirely ignores the fact that this is a problem that has been repeatedly identified as peculiarly deep and difficult at Duke for at least 15 years now. It isn't something that anyone discovered as a fall-back charge from rape. By _any_ construction of events, the party at 610 Buchanan Blvd. was a disgraceful affair -- one that was informally sponsored by the lacrosse team, featured female strippers, underage drinking, racially hinged remarks and team players releaving themselves from the front porch. To act as if this is undergraduate behavior as we must accept undergraduate behavior must be is to insult _all_ undergraduates. You have gone way overboard. Sober up.

So here I am almost 4 months pregnant and in my 2nd tri-mester. I have to take work really light since I have had some complications and still am having some although a lot better than what it was..And I feel like my hormones are raging so bad and I feel horrible for my bf. Of course, I care for him and love him and would do anything for him. But lately, I am totally on edge, don't want to see him, just want to sit at home and just do nothing after work. And then when I do see him it's like I am mad or upset and everytime he touches me or something I'm like not feeling it. Anyone else have this problem or did you? I don't know what else to do or think. Lately, I've just wanted to be alone and I do feel bad and he knows it and I tell him all the time I just don't want to do anything I just want to stay at home most of the time..I just feel so not nice lol. I don't know how else to explain or put it. I feel like I have no control over my body or my emotions and I don't know what else to do..Any suggestions? Thanks.
Does he go to your OB appts with you? I used to wait until I got to an appt to say things like that "to" the doctor (but of course we know it was really "to" dh ;) ) and she would jump right in with the "that's normal" stuff and we'd all laugh the whole thing off. That way he knew from the DOCTOR that I wasn't being unjustly mad at him... it was just the hormones talking. :wub:
When I was preg with Brook I felt that. Maybe because it was my first. DH and I used to be fun and exciting and I felt like I was turning into a boring old housewife who went to bed at 8 pm. The thought of doing those things (party life) turned my stomach and I didn't want to be around that. DH and I were married for not even a month when I found out I was preg and it wasn't until my seventh month did I realize that we WOULDN'T be getting a divorce. It was headed that way. Fighting everyday. He didn't like the person I become (a moody hormone raging *****!) But we had a good sit down one night, got it all out and in the weeks to come all was fine. He understood my feelings and I understood his and we wanted to make things work.
I think your feelings are very normal and understandable. GL to you!
I HATED mine when I was pregnant.. but you know honestly.. he provoked me..lol
He didn't go to any of my doctors appointments because he couldn't get off work so that used to make me mad especially with my friends/family being pregnant with me and i had to hear about all their husbands going...
Mine was just very unsupportive.. and it made me bonkers!!! I hated him!!!
oddly, after my son was born.. he was great ;)
Drag him to the doctors with you!! talk about your frustrations and how it stresses you out.. Stress is not good for your baby either!!!!
Yes he goes to the appointments with me for one he didn't because he wasn't around..and the next one is next week but he doesn't really need to go only becuz it's just bloodwork. But I just sometimes feel like maybe I jumped the gun. We've known each other for 3 years and we started dating in August when I came home..My ex bf at that time and I had broken up back in May but we still lived together..When I had, had enough I moved back home and now here I am. And I told him I can't jump into something so quickly when I just left something so recent. And my doctor had told me it would be hard for me to conceive we did the precautions ness. but well here we are today and I am almost 4 months pregnant so obviously it wasn't planned. When I go in next week for that bloodwork I am going to talk to a nurse about some things. I honestly feel that if he doesn't want to put forth the effort in a way where he can stop pushing me for an engagement/marriage, and moving in together so quickly I can't be around it. And here's the worse part, he's still "technically" married. In the eyes of the law he still is. He's legally seperated, but the divorce papers aren't filed completely yet..Of course his ex is with another man and living with him too but I just don't feel fully comfortable. And I thought he was already divorced, obviously if I knew he was still "technically" married I wouldn't have been with him until he was divorced. Do you think it's bad if I told him because this has been since August that if he doesn't get a divorce finalized by end of December that I can't be with him? I just can't handle it. And he himself even said if his ex found out she'd obviously be very hurt, and she has some mental issues and I'm afraid she won't give him the divorce if she did. And well now I am starting to show a little bit and in 4 more weeks we find out if it's a boy or a girl. I am feeling so confused and ready to just throw in the towel and my parents are backing me up 110%..So at least I have that. He told me by the end of November the divorce would be finalized.
It's great that you have your parents supporting you no matter what happens, but I would urge you to work this out with your BF. I'm not suggesting you marry him just because you're having a baby together, but if you could work things out to the point where you could give him a chance at being your husband and his baby's father, I believe it will work out for you in the long run.
Hang in there!
Thanks..We talked not too long ago in the week and we did sort out a lot of issues and what not. I think with the pressure on me doing this that and the other thing it was a lot..And with him wanting to move so quickly it was pushing me away in my mind. So of course I am going to give us a chance and we are still together. Of course no relationship is perfect and we all have our faults. And I think once I am not pregnant anymore and the baby is here I think it will be so much better..And he has been giving me my space and time needed when I ask him to and that's all I can ask and I thank him for it all the time. If it doesn't work out for us in the end then sure we'll always have each other, and know we created something amazing and special together. But I'm definitely not looking to get married right away, maybe engaged after we've been together for a year or so and then married not too long after that..But I think I just felt so pressured that I was pushing him away and felt he was pushing me. But thanks for you're input. I loved it and appreciate it like you have no idea. :)
You'll get back to normal. I promise!
Thanks Ericka I hope so this is ridiculous..I feel horrible about the way I feel and when I just want to be at home with my family..And now I am sleeping so much again I feel like I'm in my 1st trimester!
I went thru the same thing with my DD. Its pretty normal and I wouldnt worry about it. Maybe he can get more involved in things. And when he wants to be affectionate but you arent feeling up to it just let him know but in a nice way lol. He should understand. Hormones are going crazy right now and its totally understandable. If he really isnt a bad guy to begin with then you know its just your hormones. If you see him differently all of a sudden then maybe its time to re-think the relationship...but I doubt its anything like that. You will be alright =)
Thanks I hope so..Somedays I am so happy to be with him then somedays it's like ugh..get away from me!! :)

Eurofighter Typhoon marks delivery of 400th aircraft
The 400th Eurofighter Typhoon has been delivered to the Programme's worldwide customer base.
Der 400. Eurofighter wurde am 4. Dezember 2013 von Cassidian ausgeliefert. Er geht an die Luftwaffe (Foto: Cassidian/Zeitler).
The German Air Force took delivery of the 400th aircraft on Wednesday 4th December 2013 during special ceremony at Cassidian's Military Air Systems Center in Manching, Southern Germany.
At the Ceremony, the State Secretary of the German Ministry of Defence, Christian Schmidt, received the aircraft with the markings '31+06'.
Alberto Gutierrez, Chief Executive Officer of Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH, said: "The delivery of the 400th Eurofighter Typhoon marks a historic milestone in Europe's largest defence programme. Now we must focus much more strongly on export campaigns in order to win new contracts and new customers for this outstanding aircraft. Right now, especially in these difficult times in the defence industry, it is more important than ever that we stand up and be counted. That is what today is all about."
The Chief Executive Officer of Cassidian, Bernhard Gerwert, said: "As a partner in the Eurofighter consortium, we are proud that we have assembled the 400th Eurofighter and that today we can hand over to the German Air Force its 112 aircraft. Our customers are fully convinced of the performance of the Eurofighter Typhoon. The most modern combat aircraft in the world will also be a significant part of the product portfolio in the new Division "Airbus Defence and Space."
The delivery of the very first Eurofighter to the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom took place end of 2003. The 100th Eurofighter was delivered also to the Royal Air Force in September 2006. The 200th aircraft was handed over in November 2009 to the German Air Force. The 300th aircraft was delivered to the Spanish Air Force in November 2011.
In the past 10 years the global Eurofighter fleet has accumulated more than 210,000 flying hours.
At present, the Eurofighter Typhoon fleet comprises 20 operating units with locations in Europe, the South Atlantic and the Middle East. Specifically there are: 7 units in the UK (4 in Coningsby, 2 in Leuchars and 1 in Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands); 5 in Italy (2 in Grosseto, 2 in Gioia del Colle, 1 in Trapani); 3 in Germany (Laage, Neuburg and Nörvenich), as well as 3 in Spain (2 in Morón, 1 in Albacete) and one each in Austria (Zeltweg) and Saudi Arabia.
