Intersting distinction. Thank you."In role-playing, participants adopt characters, or parts, that have personalities, motivations, and backgrounds different from their own. Role-playing is like being in an improvisational drama or free-form theatre, in which the participants are the actors who are playing parts."
The character (or part) of leader of the human race is different from who I am. Check.
The personality is mine. No check.
The motivations relate to being a ruler of the world, which I'm not, but I try to make the decisions based on what my real motives might be. Tie.
Background is certainly not mine. Check.
So, only my personality is not role-playing. The rest either is or it's a grey area. Thus, I'm voting that I am role-playing with a preference for carrying my personality in to the game as much as possible. That sounds about right.

Smaller hippocampal volume predicts pathologic vulnerability to psychological trauma.
Nat Neurosci. 2002 Nov; 5(11):1242-7
Gilbertson MW, Shenton ME, Ciszewski A, Kasai K, Lasko NB, Orr SP, Pitman RK. Nat Neurosci. 2002 Nov; 5(11):1242-7
There is now a fairly consistent literature showing that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arising from combat trauma or repeated childhood abuse is associated with significant loss of volume in the hippocampus. The prevailing controversy in the field has been whether this is due to the consequences of the traumas, or of the post-traumatic period; there is reason to think that either could lead to atrophy of the hippocampus....

Radeon HD 7000 Support, VIA KMS Still Missing
Posted by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
on 06 January 2012 08:15 AM EST
When talking yesterday about
the likely DRM pull for the Linux 3.3 kernel
there were a few graphics driver related items not on the list.
Among the notable items that sadly aren't living in the DRM "-next" tree at the moment for the
Linux 3.3 kernel
AMD Radeon HD 7000 series support
. At least for the 3.3 merge window, there is no Radeon HD 7000 series "Southern Islands" support yet. Since this is new hardware enablement it's possible to come later in the Linux 3.3 cycle assuming it doesn't cause possible issues for existing hardware support, but at least right now for this new hardware there is no open-source support publicly available (it's being worked on behind closed-doors at AMD for the moment). At least
we do know some exclusive details about the open-source support
when it comes for this "Graphics Core Next" hardware. For now early Radeon HD 7970 owners running Linux will be bound to the AMD Catalyst binary blob.
- Radeon GPU virtual memory support. AMD has been working on various memory management improvements to the DRM driver for better supporting the new Radeon HD 7000 series design and other upcoming features to the open-source stack. One of the memory-related items being worked on is virtual memory support, which was originally the work of Jerome Glisse. The 1000+ line patch against the Radeon DRM has now gone through 22 revisions (
latest mailing list message
), but hasn't landed yet. It's possible it could still sneak in for the 3.3 merge window, but I guess we'll see.
- The open-source
Texas Instruments OMAP DRM driver
still hasn't been merged. It's
been around for a few months
but hasn't hit mainline quite yet as the second ARM DRM driver (the first is the Samsung Exynos4 driver that landed in the 3.2 cycle).
- No open-source ARM Mali GPU support yet.
The Intel GMA500 "Poulsbo" DRM driver
still doesn't provide the necessary functionality for enabling 3D hardware / video acceleration.
- VIA kernel mode-setting. James Simmons, an independent developer, has been single-handedly working on
VIA Chrome kernel mode-setting support
for more than one year, but it's not ready for merging yet.
The code has made a lot of progress
, but there's still work left in hooking up the user-space driver side and various other work items.
VIA has pledged to do more
, but they've been mostly sitting on the sideline as usual.
- GeForce 600 "Kepler" series support. This is more of a big pipe dream considering NVIDIA provides no open-source support (either funding, documentation, or code) so the open-source community is left reverse-engineering the NVIDIA binary blob after the fact. The NVIDIA "Kepler" hardware is expected to begin shipping this quarter, but there's no early code yet. This isn't a big surprise though since even with AMD's official open-source backing they still haven't landed the GCN support, but Intel is just usually the only one with pre-launch open-source hardware support (Ivy Bridge is golden for its release in a few months and has been mainline since last year). Seeing as the Nouveau developers are
still maturing the Fermi support
(GeForce 400/500 series), it will likely be H2'2012 before we see any legitimate Kepler open-source support, especially as this is a brand new GPU architecture from NVIDIA.
What else would you like to still see out of the open-source Linux graphics drivers?

Robert and Christine Foster,
Dale and Linda Steele, along with the help of Scott Hart (Extreme 4x4 of
Eufaula), did a weeks worth of exploring in the Kinta area and came up with an
excellent 1-2 day run, geared toward the moderate to stock wheelers in the club.
Trails on this run ranged from very scenic to moderately hard. The area is very
promising and we will definitely be back to map it more extensively. Along the
way we saw many opportunities to challenge the most extreme vehicles in our
club, and would make for an interesting combined Moderate/Hardcore run in the

for leading the run!

To me, there were two good things, two bad and one ugly. One of the bad things, which was really thrilling although I saw it coming and didn't think it would affect me that way, is how one of the victims, the witness was able to stand in front of an Iraqi court beside Saddam and his top aids and telling their hideous crimes. There I saw an average Iraqi, who has no power or wealth, a man whom Saddam used to sign the execution order of hundreds like him without even knowing the name of one of them, standing boldly and exposing this monster's horrible crimes. He was not afraid and returned Saddam's words with stronger ones. I must admit that I saw this man as a hero and I think many Iraqis share a similar view with that of mine, as these people terrorized us for such a long time that even hearing their names used to paralyze us with fear. Till now and when I think of this man's position, I feel unsure on whether I would feel some fear or not if I was in his place.
Saddam was trying to remain calm and put a fake smile on his face but I could see through his eyes that he was going to explode. I think he couldn't believe that an Iraqi, just an average Iraqi would talk to him that way and name him as just "Saddam" not the "Mujahi leader Saddam Hussain God bless him" or any of the other crap we had to add before his name otherwise…
Saddam's brother, Barzan was in a much worse shape as everybody must have noticed. This is not strange at all and it was one of Saddam's ways of presenting himself as the best available choice by surrounding himself with insanely ignorant and barbarian people. I heard it from so many Iraqis in the past saying, "Well who would replace him if he's gone? Brazan, Izzat Il Douri or Taha Yassin Ramadan, or maybe Oday?? No it's better that he stays" thinking that all alternatives are worse and that there are no men in Iraq but those scum!
The other good thing was the general attitude of the trial and the way the judge dealt with the defendants (although it's one of the bad things too in a way). I think the way Iraqis are treating Saddam shows clearly that they're better than being ruled by a man like him and I'm very pleased by the civility of the court. I've heard many Iraqis complaining about how soft the judge was in the 1st session and many said they hated him. This time I heard the same people saying they're starting to love him!
Still I must say the judge could've been more firm with the many unacceptable behaviors by Saddam, his lawyers and his brother without crossing the line to being abusive of their rights. To be honest I think the judge was instructed to be extra-nice with Saddam, and I think that has more to do with presenting the trial to the western audience, particularly the American rather than the Iraqi audience. This trial is certainly a universal one but I think Iraqis should count more than others and I also think that American politics, mainly external is playing a major role here. I think Americans are trying to say to the rest of the world, "See how much we have changed this place!" which is ok and good but Iraqis' feelings, and more important justice, should count more than that since contempt for the court is a big deal in the best democracies.
The other bad thing is the testimony of the major witness. It was incoherent, but that's ok and it's not the issue. The issue is that the man, whom I have no question about his honesty in telling Al Dujail story, was, as I believe, coached by certain parties inside the Iraqi government, and this is really bad. I can say he was coached by the SCIRI and was offered extra information on the investigation for two reasons. One to show Al Dujail massacre, at leastin a small way, as a massacre against the She'at (the witness kept mentioning Karbala'a and Imam Hussain for no real reason and focused on one of the victims who he said was a visitor from Karbala'a for no real reason to. He said that if Saddam's men had found out that the guy was from Karbala'a they'd leveled the holy shrines with ground). The other point I think is to document some of Saddam's crimes against Iran (the witness mentioned that he saw the Iranian ex-minister of oil in jail, which I think was irrelevant and not needed at all, that's if it's true).
Other than that the ugliest part was the behavior of Saddam and his brother, Barzan. These two were very polite with the judge all the time (Barzan was even begging for mercy on one session) but as soon as they saw a simple Iraqi citizen with no power (or so they think) they regained that arrogant look and assumed the faces of the rulers again! How coward and how stupid at the same time! But it was more than great (and surprisingly shocking) to hear the words of that simple man from Dujail saying to Barzan, "Shut up!". That was worth the two hours in front of the TV.

Ethiopia Link
As part of our 150th celebrations we as a parish will be establishing an on-going link with parishes in the Gambella region of Ethiopia, a desperately poor region in material terms but full of joyous Christians. From the start of our planning for 2014, it was felt that it was not right to raise large sums of money merely to spend on ourselves, but that we needed to share our bounty with some of the world's poorest. (Although it may not always feel so to us, in global terms we live in one of the world's wealthiest nations and in a wealthy part of that nation.) Both Bishop Andrew, former Bishop of the Horn of Africa and our current Bishop of Reading, and Bishop Grant, the current Bishop of the Horn of Africa, have visited with us to tell something of the work and needs of the Gambella. On the basis of Bishop Grant and his wife Wendy's recommendation, it has been decided that we should focus on fund raising for their Mothers' Union Community Education and Development Project. This project aims to empower the women of the Gambella through practical education which focuses on health, relational, poverty and spiritual issues.
The project is detailed in its planning. A booklet giving more information about the project is available to borrow from All Saints' Church and the Chapel. Please return it, when you have finished reading it, for others to borrow.
In December (7th-15th) members of our congregation will travel, with Bishop Andrew to the Gambella. They will report back to us on Sunday the 26th of January. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Gambella, and your place in this important parish link.

Reid, Harry
The latest news on Reid, Harry
The United States doesn't have a coherent strategy for clean energy, but it needs one to compete.
Bad news for the GOP front-runner but a ray of hope for struggling Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid.
The bill's political future is even murkier after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
There won't likely be much of anything done in Congress for the rest of this year in a bipartisan way.
Voters want smaller government and fewer services, and the Democratic establishment wants exactly the opposite.
It is already a federal offense to be an alien and not carry papers proving legal status.
Congress is looking to tighten the screws on financial markets.
Congress and the White House are ignoring a problem that could dwarf the big bank bailouts.
Reid says polls showing him losing are wrong, but GOP sees easy defeat of Democratic leader.
Five reasons why the top Senate Democrat won't lose in the fall.

We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality.

Ha ha. Double take!
This is the kind of parody I can get behind. The Onion of SEO :-)
Great stuff. I'm going to get going on shutting down all my clients' blogs and starting direct mail campaigns now.
my blog is gone now I MUST use Google+ for all my blogging!
That Matt Cutts! Such a cheeky little rascal!
I have controversial feelings regarding this blog post. I tend to trust people and English is not my first language. I started to read this blog and thought to myself: "OMG, Google is going to implement this, they are leaving us, SEOs even less space to maneuver..."
Then i started searching for the proofs and couldn't find any. And only then I clicked the link at the bottom of the article.
You may not care Joel, but my opinion is that this post was not a wise thing.
Slava, I'm sorry you felt that this piece wasted your time. It was intended in fun. I can recognize that satire/sarcasm are not everyone's cup of tea - and I do recognize the challenge in non-native English speakers.
But that said - there were a lot of clues (why would I have access to an interview that SELand wasn't publishing? Why would nobody else be talking about it? Why would Google EVER tell people to haul down every single blog on the internet?).
The SEO industry places trust in all the wrong places; that's EXACTLY what I wanted to poke fun at by writing this post.
While I sincerely apologize that you feel your time was wasted, satire and parody is something many people find funny and enjoy. I can appreciate that you didn't and I do apologize. But - others loved the piece. Can't please everyone.
Blog deleted. Hopefully I rank first now!
Direct mail - well played :)
ROFL - Well, I think we both understand how what we write isn't always for everyone. It's nothing personal.
oh....Can't believe on.Shutting of the blog.
shutting down a blog with a lot of followers without warning, no way!
Now that's an awesome read for Monday.

Category: Cool Baby Names
Stephen King Names: Abra, Malachi and Gage
By Tara Ryazansky
I vividly remember sneaking peeks at my father's Stephen King books when I was way too young for them, but I could only steal them away long enough to finish one of the short stories. I recall hiding in the bathroom and reading one called Sneakers from the Nightmares & Dreamscapes collection. I'm still traumatized by that imagery! I urge you to find it and read it if you enjoy being terrified. Stephen King also gave me my first scary movie, Pet Sematary, which provided me with my first name crush and simultaneously destroyed it with Gage. He also made me misspell the word cemetery for about a decade, but that's all forgiven because he's a pretty great character namer. For example:
Carietta- Stephen King's first published novel was Carrie. It went on to become a film, a musical (really!), a sequel film, a TV movie and a film again–the reboot is in theaters now. As enduring as Carrie has been, few people know that the character's full name is Carietta, a feminization of Carl or Charles with Germanic roots. This name is outside the top 1000, yet feels familiar enough to use. Nickname Etta feels more 2013, and less doused in pig blood.
40+ Neglected Namesake Names–Girls Edition
By Linda Rosenkrantz
If you scan the annals of distinguished women in American history, culture and science, you'll find that a surprising number of them had distinctive names as well, names that could provide unique-ish choices with interesting back-stories. Several of them have a funky, fusty period flavor that may or may not appeal. What do you think?
Abba Goold Woolson– a turn-of-the-last century teacher-author, remembered for her liberating efforts against 'the physical discomfort and disease caused by corsets and other constricting forms of dress.'
Adelina Patti, christened Adela, was a renowned operatic soprano, the daughter of Italian opera singers, who could sing some of the most difficult arias by the age of four.
Albion Fellows Bacon (named for her father)— a housing reformer who pushed laws to regulate housing sanitation of tenements.
Alta Weiss was a double threat—a pitcher with a men's semi-pro baseball team who went on to become a doctor.
100 Top Word Names of 2012: Hunter, Hope–and Henry?
by Nephele
Word names! Some people love them, others hate them. Word names probably started gaining in popularity due to hippie subculture, which especially latched on to appealing words taken from nature. So I wondered: "What are the most popular word names in common use today?"
To answer my own question and determine what these most popular word names are, I ran an Excel program to select names from the latest available U.S. Social Security Administration's baby names lists (2012) that also matched with words in the official lexicon used for the multi-player word game "Words with Friends."
Below I have listed the 100 top word names of 2012 for both girls and boys combined. The accompanying definitions for these names may hold a few surprises! These definitions are not, in every case, based on the actual etymology of the names, but rather on definitions given by the Merriam-Webster dictionary for the English-speaking world. Some of these definitions are historical or obsolete or somewhat esoteric, but they are all actual definitions that make these names "legitimate words" for playing Words with Friends.
Be warned! Some of these dictionary definitions may change your views on various names — either for better or worse!
Mason – "to build with stone or brick." (18,856 boys; 80 girls)

And now for some more name fun! I had mentioned that word names were big in hippie subculture. If you would like to discover your "hidden hippie name" through the art of anagramming, click on the following link:
Nephele is the alias of an obsessive anagrammatist who for more than a decade has provided unique name makeovers for people on numerous Internet forums. Despite the popularity of Nephele's anagrams, she is not prepared to give up her day job in an undisclosed public library in New York.
Nominate your favorite and win!
You may have noticed an updated and improved feature on Nameberry recently: Most name pages now include a list of other suggested names.
If you like the unusual Welsh name Cadogan, for instance, you might also like Harrington, Lanier, and Adonis (really?) for boys, and Arianwen and Delancey for girls.
Or at least, according to millions of name ratings, other people who liked Cadogan also liked Harrington and Arianwen and the others.
I've become, okay, kind of obsessed with these name relationships, partly because they seem uncannily accurate and partly because they can be so surprising. Clicking through on a trail of names I like, I've discovered lots of new selections that I also like but may not have considered before.
Name Days and New Names: Valor, Rigby, and Ripken
The Nameberry 9 by Abby Sandel of Appellation Mountain
Do you celebrate your name day?
While the idea is little known in the US, many cultures prefer name days to birthdays. The idea is simple: instead of celebrating your day of birth, you and every other Margaret or Joseph or Andrew are feted on the same day.
The custom has its origins in saints' feast days, but plenty of non-saintly names exist on national calendars. Wanda is a legendary figure in Poland, so no surprise she has a name day there, along with other Slavic staples like Bogdan, Dobromir, and Grazyna.
Some parents look to these calendars for baby naming inspiration. Born on March 17th? Patrick is a nice name.
Word is that Facebook is now encouraging users to add their name day celebrations to their profiles. Americans love a holiday, from Halloween to Cinco de Mayo. Could name days catch on here?
I'm in favor. Double the reasons for cupcakes!

HANUKKAH The Festival of Lights' Darker Side
Throughout Jewish history (until modern times) Jews have rarely written "history". They were concerned with Halakha (Jewish Law), spirituality, mysticism and ethics. The only ancient history of the Jews was written by Josephus, A Jew who became associated with the Roman Empire.
An interesting intersection between Jewish law and "history" occurs with respect to the Festival of Hanukkah. In the first Code of Jewish Law, the Mishna, which was composed by Rabbi Judah the Prince in the 3rd Century C.E., the Laws of
Hanukkah are conspicuously absent. The only reference to the festival occurs in the Talmud - three hundred years later. And even there, it appears as an aside - in the discussion about which oils may be used to light the Sabbath candles. The discussion then proceeds to discuss if these limitations on which oils were permissible, apply to the Hanukkah candles. How do we explain the fact that such a popular holiday was deleted from the first Code of Jewish Law?
The answer is that the history of Hanukkah and its aftermath is a checkered one - and that accounts for its absence in the Mishna. You see, that in the Biblical and Post-Biblical period it was customary (even, law) that the Kingship came from the tribe of Judah, and the Priesthood from the tribe of Levi. The Maccabees, contrary to Jewish precedent, usurped both Kingship and Priesthood. Rabbi Judah the Prince came from the tribe of Judah, and "dissed" the Maccabees by omitting this newly established holiday from his Code. Additionally, the Hasmonean (Maccabean) dynasty was rife with internecine (mutually destructive) fighting for four generations. This dynasty even murdered hundreds of Pharisees who were in the opposition party. The Rabbis, who were heirs to the Pharisees, also took exception to the assimilationist policies of the Hasmoneans, especially in the generations after the first generation of the Hasmoneans. (Note, for instance, that the names of the initial Maccabees were Mattityahu, Judah, and Jonathan - good Hebrew names - while later generations carried the names Aristobulus, Antigonus, and John Hyrkanus - Greek/Roman names.
Hanukkah finally found its acceptance in Jewish Law, but not without a significant change. The emphasis on the heroic victory of the Maccabees was minimized, and the miracle of oil was replaced as the real significance of the holiday.
Hanukkah - and its checkered history - remind us that usurpation of power, unfettered and ruthless authority and constant in-fighting are unacceptable - even when done by patriots whose intentions were good, and some of their accomplishments exemplary.
(Where in the liturgy is this Darker side of Hanukkah alluded to?)
Beryl and I wish you a Hag HaUrim Sameah.

I'd gotten so used to the idea that they were guilty I don't know what to think. That said, the case is so high profile, and the evidence seems so washy... maybe Knox killed Michael Jackson? |
Good grief, I wasn't expecting that at all. The Italian authorities and media seemed so determined to have her guilty I didn't think she stood a chance. |
"Both Knox and Sollecito � who have always denied any involvement in the brutal murder - said they would take the case to the third and final level of appeal at the Supreme Court in Rome where it will probably be heard late next year." Why did they say this then, lovely and honest people of the Daily Mail? Seem totally legit. |

Prosecutors were delighted with the verdict and said that 'justice has been done' although they said on a 'human factor it was sad two young people would be spending years in jail'. Wahey! |
The next step is that the prosecution can appeal this verdict at the Italian Supreme Court if they wish. However, no-one has ever been extradicted from the US to Italy ever though, apparently. I've always thought that the idea that 4 students would get so involved in some sort of 'sex game' that three of them hold down their friend and slit her throat because she wasn't into it a little hard to believe to be honest.

Indeed, you can't beat quality journalism! I hope someone got a screen cap of that. |
So basically the Daily Fail had an article all typed up; in their infinite wisdom they assumed the convictions would stand. To go ahead and publish that is beyond belief. They're an absolute juke and I mean that - this is glol territory. |

US judge prompts outrage after saying: 'If she didn't want sex, her body should have just shut down' in rape case, and reducing sentence of attacker by ten years
Judge Johnson was making the comments in the case of a man who threatened to mutilate the face and genitals of his ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver
Friday 14 December 2012
A US judge has prompted outrage after saying that a rape victim didn't put up a fight during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sex, the body 'will not permit that to happen.'
Judge Derek Johnson's comments, which echo those of outgoing U.S. representative Todd Akin, who used the phrase 'legitimate rape' and said women who are the victims of rape rarely get pregnant, have drawn widespread condemnation.
The states Commission on Judicial Performance has also attacked the the judge for taking ten years off the recommended sentence for the rapist in the case, imposing a six-year sentence instead.
"In the commission's view, the judge's remarks reflected outdated, biased and insensitive views about sexual assault victims who do not 'put up a fight.' Such comments cannot help but diminish public confidence and trust in the impartiality of the judiciary," wrote Lawrence Simi, the commission's chairman.
Judge Johnson was making the comments in the case of a man who threatened to mutilate the face and genitals of his ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver. The man also beat her with a metal baton and made violent threats before committing rape and forcing oral copulation.
According to police reports Judge Johnson said: 'I'm not a gynecologist, but I can tell you something, if someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage in inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case.
'That tells me that the victim in this case, although she wasn't necessarily willing, she didn't put up a fight.'
The commission, which stated it only learnt of the remarks in May, 10 to 0 that Johnson deserved his public admonishment.
The judge, who has been with Orange County Superior Court since 2000 also said the rape was 'technical' and not 'a real, live criminal case.'
To treat this case like the rape cases that we all hear about is an insult to victims of rape,'the judge is reported to have told the LA Times.
He is also reported to have said: 'I think it's an insult. I think it trivializes a rape.'
Judge Johnson has since apologised for his comments.

Studying the Students Can Teach Useful Lessons
W hile it's true that college students were active in the recent election as organizers of get-out-the- vote campaigns, supporters of candidates, and especially as voters, there is much more to student political activism than electoral work.
Students are politically active on campuses across the country, not just in the bicoastal urban hotspots of traditional campus activism like New York and Berkeley. Recent media exposure has heightened the public's awareness of the growth of conservative campus activism, so much so that one might draw the conclusion that college students are racing to be counted as members of the new Republican majority. But the truth is that most students remain uninvolved politically, with the exception of voting in presidential elections. Several factors compete with going to meetings, riding the bus to Washington for a demonstration, or sitting at an information table on the quad. There is plenty to do on campus besides political work. Not surprisingly, other organizations far outnumber political groups. The economic truth is that most students are uninvolved because they must work (and borrow money) to attend college, a condition that sharpens their sense of the value of their education while limiting their free time.
Political Research Associate's recently published study of campus activism, Deliberate Differences, Progressive and Conservative Campus Activism in the United States, provides helpful insight into the realities of political activity on campus. While the number of activist groups is small, progressive groups outnumber conservative ones four to one. According to UCLA's Higher Education Research Center, more first-year students identify as liberal (27 percent) versus conservative (23 percent), with the remaining 50 percent labeling themselves as independent or unaffiliated.
A quick look at progressive goals and tactics on campus shows they are very similar to the work of off-campus progressive activism. Groups tend to emerge issue by issue, developing commitment and consciousness around those issues, with the goal of developing movements based on topical issues on and off campus. This holds true whether the arena is the environment, LGBT issues, anti-militarism, or anti-racist work. Coalitions and other cross-issue work are seen as added, but labor-intensive, benefits. More discussion revolves around process and decision-making than around long-term goals and strategies. There is no clear agreement on what is effective organizing. It all sounds quite familiar to seasoned community activists.
Conservative groups, on the other hand, present a very different picture when we look at their goals and strategies. The purpose of conservative student organizing seems less to build a social or political movement on campus than to develop a future generation of leadership for the Right as a whole. National conservative organizations, whose programs were created specifically to work with college students, provide extensive support and training. The Leadership Institute, Young America's Foundation, and the Fund for American Studies are only the best known of a collection of well-funded training providers, which includes wings of established groups like Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, James Dobson's Focus on the Family, and the Independent Women's Forum whose directors emeritae includes Lynne Cheney.
The strategies conservative student groups use are both creative and effective, high-volume megaphoning with few actual students involved. Their style, on the other hand, is much more controversial. Students attempt to disrupt what they call the unfair liberal dominance on campus in various ways. They claim they are a silenced minority, relegated to second-class status by students and discriminated against by liberal faculty. They call for more room for conservative thought, framing it as more "diversity of thought," co-opting liberal language. They criticize progressive ideas as unpatriotic, intellectually empty, or simply deserving of ridicule. When liberal Brian Boyko wrote a post-election opinion piece in his student newspaper the Daily Texan , for instance, he announced he was leaving the United States because he was disappointed with U.S. voters' conservative views. The Young Conservatives of Texas Austin branch responded by creating an essay contest on the topic "Why I Want to Leave America," offering the winner a one-way ticket to Canada.
students establish their own newspapers, often funded by the National
Collegiate Network, insisting their views are unrepresented in the
mainstream campus media. Some attempt takeovers of student governments
in order to gain control of the mainstream campus agenda as well
as to have access to the spending of student activities fees. Popular
speakers like Dinesh D'Souza and Ann Coulter, often funded
by national organizations, tour campuses with a carefully constructed
conservative message for students. Such speakers model a style of
demonization, scapegoating, and belittling of liberal spokespeople,
like Michael Moore, that is readily copied by students with their
own on-campus targets.
Campaigns can focus on issues as well, usually in reaction to what appears to be liberal or progressive control of the topic. For example, an anti-affirmative action bake sale caught on at several campuses in the spring of 2003 while the Supreme Court was deciding on two University of Michigan cases. Students could purchase baked goods, but white students had to pay more than various groups of students of color who got deep discounts. Such sarcasm, used effectively as a backlash to a range of issues from speech codes regulating hate speech to feminist or anti-war activity, has become a hallmark of conservative campus tactics.
The conservative focus is not only on students. Conservative students have criticized liberal faculty for treating them unfairly in class. Conservative campaigns are orchestrated by national groups off-campus, such as Daniel Pipes's Middle East Forum, the American Council on Trustees and Alumni, co-founded by Lynne Cheney, and David Horowitz's Students for Academic Freedom. How issues pertaining to the Middle East are taught is a common target. For instance, the Boston- based David Project has successfully disrupted funding for a think tank at Harvard Divinity School and has recently produced a controversial documentary, Columbia Unbecoming, which attacks faculty in the Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultures Department at Columbia University.
Campus activist groups on both the Right and the Left do share a few characteristics. All the activists we met hold a sincere belief in their political perspectives, even as they are still formulating them. But neither group is particularly interested in debate with the opposition and both pay little attention to the large mass of students in the middle, the centrists.
What other lessons did this study teach? Student activists judge their centrist counterparts harshly, and they tend to use the well-worn, and usually inaccurate, label of "apathetic" to describe such students. For their part, we found that centrist students resented the often provocative and confrontational styles of organizing, especially from the Left. The mockery and finger pointing from the Right seems to be more palatable to this group, as long as they are not themselves targets. (The designers of these campaigns capitalized on two factors: some students find such sarcasm funny and hip and, for those still developing their political ideas, a simplistic analysis is quite appealing.) Those less involved in an issue were even more uncomfortable with debate and political conflict than activists. This tended to contribute to low turn-outs to the rare formal debates that do take place. Many students lack the skills or the confidence necessary for enjoying a heated discussion and few students get a chance to learn these skills in college or elsewhere. There are confrontations, certainly, and they do get press, but rarely does it take the form of constructive dialogue. Add to this a hesitancy among faculty to provide political mentoring and the current political climate on campus hardly benefits from this sad state of affairs.
What are some implications of these findings? Conservative students are fewer in numbers than progressives, but they may be growing slowly in influence, at least in part because they are better funded and more closely advised by outside groups. Liberal organizations like People for the American Way's Young People For program and the Center for American Progress's Campus Progress Network are copying the Right's strategies of national training centers and student media outlets.
These are promising projects for progressives. But more needs to happen on campuses, especially in broadcasting social change messages for mainstream students that make sense to them. Progressive campus activists need more support from their off-campus counterparts in helping to design campaigns and creating effective frames. The job of off-campus progressive activists is to provide this support in respectful, useful ways.

An Iranian parliamentarian says former European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana will attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran™s President-elect Hassan Rohani.
Solana and Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad will take part in the ceremony as special guests, Director of Protocol at Iran™s Majlis Mohammad Yasrebi said on Wednesday.
He added that UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Kubish will also be in Rohani™s swearing-in ceremony.
