Jessica Thomas' college graduation today doesn't just mark the end of a phase of academics. It also culminates her recent success over another, more immediate hurdle. Thomas, 22, of Reston will receive her undergraduate degree in sociology from Hollins University today. But a little more than a year ago, she was bound up by the emotional highs and lows of bipolar disorder. To get free, she reached out to family, friends and the school's staff.

In years past, I'd shake my head in disgust when I'd hear about European soccer hooligans rioting and wreaking havoc following a match. There was even one occasion in which fans weren't allowed inside the stadium due to the threat of a riot. After doing some research, I see that Americans are catching on in the art of hooliganism.
Associated Press LONDON -- Italian soccer again hangs its head in shame. Even last year's World Cup triumph in Germany doesn't seem like much to cheer about. Nine months after a policeman was killed in rioting at a game in Sicily, a family is mourning the death of Gabriele Sandri, a Lazio fan. Police say Sandri was accidentally shot by a police officer who was rushing to the scene where fans were fighting.

PARIS (AP) - Warming up on the touchline, a black player jogs toward fans at the Parc des Princes soccer stadium. As he gets closer, a barrage of monkey chants explodes - "OOOH! OOOH! OOOH!"- and racist insults fill the air. Such scenes are increasingly common at the home stadium of Paris Saint-Germain, or PSG, one of France's top soccer teams, and are finding expression in elite soccer leagues across Europe, raising fears that a global sport that calls itself "the Beautiful Game" is getting uglier.

In an interview, David Taylor, General Secretary, UEFA, talked about sports business and professional football. In many ways sports business and non-sports business are the same. The need to run a business and manage a business in an efficient and profitable way is the same in sports business as in other businesses. The real difference, of course, lays in the nature of the business itself -- the sport -- the effect of the business of the playing of the games and the uncertain outcome of the games. There is intense competition, but not in the same way as in competition in the business world. Taylor is very much in favor of UEFA getting closer to the fans of clubs. Fans have particular views and different perspectives in terms of the game that UEFA plays. Football is a big business, but t...

The British are so brainwashed they do it for no apparent reason. The French cheat. The Italians resort to scrums, but Israelis are orderly - at least until the moment when mob rule suddenly applies. As for we Yanks ... well, we bribe and pull rank, and we're very vocal about the whole thing. So says Leonard Kleinrock, professor of computer science at UCLA and author of a two-volume study, "Queuing Systems." The books were published in the mid-1970s, when Kleinrock - one of the developers of the Internet - was researching "packet switching" and methods for creating cyberspace queuing. His research led him to study how humans line up, which, it turns out, changes from nation to nation.

On a night in late November, a French soccer team called PSG lost to a Tel Aviv team in Paris. That's not particularly newsworthy. What happened afterward is. A 25-year-old French Jew by the name of Yanniv Hazout, wearing the winners' colors, was chased by a mob of 150 marauding PSG fans, who shouted "Kill the Jews" and "The dirty Jews must die.
