Steubenville rape case highlights the importance of women’s equality. By Henry RollinsTuesday, March 19, 2013 11:42 EDT For the last couple of hours, I have been thinking of the verdict that was reached in what is now known as the Steubenville rape case. Since all involved are minors, I won’t use anyone’s name.
Two juvenile males were found delinquent of the charges and will be, as far as I understand, incarcerated in a juvenile detention facility until they are twenty-one years of age. There is, I guess, cell phone generated video content of parts of the crime. It went “viral” on the internet and brought attention to the events. I got through a few minutes of it but was too disgusted to watch the rest. The case, the verdict and the surrounding circumstances open up a huge conversation.
These are a few of the things that I have been thinking about. After reading several posts online, I was not surprised at the vast range of sentiments expressed. After reading posts for quite awhile, I thought first about the two young men. So, how do you fix that?

What are the differences between happy people and unhappy people? Of course, it should be very obvious: happy people are happy while unhappy people are unhappy, right? Well, that is correct. But, we want to know what happy people do differently, so I have put together a list of things that happy people do differently than unhappy people. 1. Love vs. Fear Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. 2. Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting it, but you can definitely change it by accepting that it is there and by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence. 3. Really happy people know that it’s not healthy to hold on to anger. “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” ~ Buddha 4.

It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes, when we’re all here. We’ve got two cats. But, like the Tardis, it’s actually a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside. “We also find that, because we haven’t got a lot of space, we do have to keep it tidy.

Holler at popcandy@usatoday.com. By Dan Nailen, Special Correspondent for Pop Candy Many people have an image of life in Utah capital Salt Lake City as some blend of Big Love and a never-ending episode of Donny & Marie, and there's no denying there's some truth to that.
But many of us exist in a version of Utah that also is the home of great music, art and food, and a long-running "underground" scene that inspired the decent indie flick SLC Punk. We also have natural beauty that no other American city can match, courtesy of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and the Great Salt Lake to the west.

To play devil's advocate here, all the book said was that Rue had dark skin. Which leaves the field wide open. She could be NA, Indian, Asiatic, Black, Latino, or about a dozen other races and sub-races. Heck, dark skin and dark hair could even make her a tanned Italian, not a far cry considering how many of the districts labor outdoors. Each person saw Rue differently, and the description was deliberately vague. The other thing that nitpickers like the author of this article tend to forget is that we populate book universes with what is most familiar. It's not just her, I've received similar feedback from several people over my lifetime, and read about the phenomena elsewhere.
And then, of course, there's the stereotyping. I know a lot about the art of writing, so I could pinpoint WHY I was left feeling...less than involved. Does this mean racism isn't going on?

How reading this brought back memories… BAD memories! I was subject to many, if not all, of these strategies whilst at school. I’ve no idea whether I’d consider myself “gifted” (something of my inherent distaste towards vanity tells me not to adopt that title), but I was certainly WELL AHEAD of my peers academically.
I started school a year early (aged 3), and was already reading and writing and undertaking arithmetic well before this age. I think this had a lot to do with my mother, who was a firm believer in trying to engage my interest in learning from an early age, and who was happy for me to show interest in as wide a range of subjects as I liked. My parents were not restrictive in terms of what they allowed me to do, based on false assumptions of what was “age appropriate”; instead, I would happily read Ancient Greek Mythology aged only 4 years, and thought nothing of using complex grammar and sentence construction whilst still at Primary/Infant School. 1.

The security guard behind the desk looked up at me, grimaced, then looked down again and growled something indecipherable. “Excuse me?” I asked. He sighed loudly and didn’t say anything for a moment. I was already jittery because of a near miss with a taxi on the ride over, and this deflated me even more. I tried to stay calm and upbeat. Finally, after citing the The Bicycle Access to Office Buildings Law, which requires New York City buildings with freight elevators to admit bicycles, he let me in. When I made it to the freight elevator, I smiled at the operator who was joking with some construction workers. He shut his door as I was asking him how to get in. Then, like magic, my morning changed.
“Hi! I explained my morning and she frowned empathetically. I could have cried from happiness. And that’s when I realized: We all have super powers.

Gingerbread House 2011 Notre Dame. The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science. Modern science originated from an attempt to weed out such subjective lapses—what that great 17th century theorist of the scientific method, Francis Bacon, dubbed the "idols of the mind. " Even if individual researchers are prone to falling in love with their own theories, the broader processes of peer review and institutionalized skepticism are designed to ensure that, eventually, the best ideas prevail.
Scientific evidence is highly susceptible to misinterpretation. Giving ideologues scientific data that's relevant to their beliefs is like unleashing them in the motivated-reasoning equivalent of a candy store. Our individual responses to the conclusions that science reaches, however, are quite another matter. Ironically, in part because researchers employ so much nuance and strive to disclose all remaining sources of uncertainty, scientific evidence is highly susceptible to selective reading and misinterpretation.

David Levenson/Getty Images Christopher Hitchens, shown here in 2010, began a lifelong battle with a God he didn't believe in when he was just 9 years old. Writer Christopher Hitchens, who died on Thursday from complications of cancer at the age of 62, leaves behind some 18 books and countless essays on politics and public figures. But his most lasting legacy may be his atheism and his long-running duel with what he considered the world's most dangerous threat: religion.
