• Duce's Wild: 10-Year-Old Boys Still Need Moms

My son celebrated his golden birthday this week -- he turned 10 on 10-10. And so I selfishly use a little ink to wish him the best, but keep the remainder of my comments on raising a boy in general terms so as not to mortify him completely. As most moms of 10-year-old boys can attest, it's a unique time of life. Your independent son is enamored with all that you don't provide like wrestling moves that stretch his flexibility, football throws that knock him to the ground, tall apple trees to climb and elk hunts to go on with the men.

• Old Boys Network ; Safe Choices Mar Nominations for Rock Hall

We are in the midst of a culturally unstable moment, but you'd never know it, judging from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over in Cleveland, they're still partying like it's 1999, when the words "music industry" didn't sound hopelessly archaic, and everything -- the way we hear music, the way we buy and steal music, the way we write about and read about music, the way we make it and sell it -- wasn't up in the air. On Wednesday, when the rock hall announced its inductees for this year -- the ceremony will take place April 14 in Cleveland and premiere on HBO in early May -- one was faced with a list of inductees that "represent the broad spectrum of artists that define rock and roll," according to a statement released by Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Ro...

• Editorial: Who Are the 'Good-Old Boys'?

Topeka City Councilman Chad Manspeaker caused a lot of eyebrows to go up recently when he complained about the "incestuous nature of our Chamber of Commerce and how they control every board in Topeka. Interesting claim, and one worth exploring now that Manspeaker has hung it out there.

• The Game Mother Taught Me: Beyond Japan's Old Boys' Networks

In 2008, the author was appointed as Japan's Minister of Defense, a post that oversees the 270,000 members of the Japanese Army, Navy, and Air Force -- Japan's self-defense forces -- as well as thousands of civilian defense officials within the ministry. Since she was the first woman ever to hold that office in Japanese history, she believes that her appointment opened up great new opportunities for Japanese women. Her appointment came about in an abrupt way. Achieving gender equality in Japanese politics has been a long and difficult process that has taken many decades. Today, women can vote or run for office in Japan as easily as they breathe, but under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan, promulgated in 1889, Japanese women were almost suffocated. People now consider women like h...

• Kc Old Boys Challenged

I present you this challenge because you have such a legacy of success and because you have excellent role models among the "old boys" you have produced," the educator said. Dr. [Marcia Keizs] urged the members to pay a special focus on adolescent, 12-17 year boys, both locally and in Jamaica. "This is a group which is at significant risk and demands our sustained attention. In throwing down the gauntlet, Dr. Keizs said: "This is the critical challenge for the next generation of men - immigrant men, black men, Caribbean, Muslims, Hispanics, Southeast Asians, Indians, Chinese, mixed race men, Native Canadians, and others - as they approach this fragile age in this complex world." She said they are falling further behind on all the indicators of success, be they academic, social or p...

• Going Old School to Prepare for Boys' Tourney

While many of the teams heading into this weekend's quarterfinal rounds of the basketball tournaments will opt to have a scrimmage game against another tourney-bound team, usually in a different class, for preparation, the top-seeded Cheverus boys will not. Coach Bob Brown said his team will get better preparation running regular practices this week. In that way, Brown can control what he wants to work on and the pace at which he wants to work.

• Corrections Scolded Over 'Good Old Boys'

Despite being instructed by a governor's transition report two years ago to improve conditions at the Utah Department of Corrections, the department that oversees Utah's penal system continues to be ruled by "good old boys" who encourage institutionalized favoritism and apparent gender discrimination, a scathing legislative audit has concluded. According to the 71-page legislative audit report made public Wednesday, the department suffers from an "underlying culture of unfairness and favoritism.
