With no Ben Wallace, no Chris Webber and virtually no Nazr Mohammed, Rasheed Wallace has taken a shine to his role as the Pistons' starting center-he moved over from power forward, where Antonio McDyess now starts.
A position-by-position look at the matchups in the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons. CENTER: Nazr Mohammed vs. Ben Wallace. Mohammed was acquired at midseason from the New York Knicks to be a complement to Tim Duncan in the low post and to be a more productive presence than former starter Rasho Nesterovic. He will get his share of second-chance points and easy shot opportunities if Detroit's defense doubles down on Duncan, but he is ineffective outside of 8 feet. Wallace will spend more time defending Duncan than he will Mohammed. The Spurs will look to foul him Wallace if he gets the ball near the basket and make the 47-percent foul shooter earn his points from the line.

Similarly, throughout the period of my ethnographic research among middle-class Arab American family and community networks in San Francisco, California,2 between January 1999 and August 2001, the theme of female sexuality circumscribed the ways my research participants imagined and contested culture, identity, and belonging. Counter to dominant colonialist Western feminist approaches that highlight "religion" (Islam) as the primary determinant of Arab women's identities, this article demonstrates that religion (Christian or Muslim) alone does not determine the processes by which Arab American femininities are imagined and performed.

WASHINGTON -- When terrorists attacked New York and Washington in 2001, the Middle East was firmly under the control of authoritarian leaders. Some of them were staunch allies of the United States who tolerated the growing threat from Osama bin Laden. A decade later, bin Laden is dead, al-Qaida has been set back, and the autocrats in Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Afghanistan and Yemen have been swept from power by their own people -- a series of sometimes deadly protests and battles now known as the Arab Spring.
