The leading Republican candidates were weirdly overt with their promises in last weekend's debate about waging covert war against Iran, and even assassinating its scientists. Perhaps it's a sign that foreigners don't take American politics very seriously, but the inflammatory talk created barely a ripple in this part of the world. Or maybe the savvy, cynical Middle East believes that the covert war has already begun -- with Israel's Mossad conducting lethal operations of the sort Republicans are clamoring for the CIA to adopt. The danger is that if the other side thinks the conflict has already started, it will feel compelled to retaliate.
Hegemonic masculinities are at the top of the gender hierarchy and exist in relation to subordinated gender constructs. Traditional constructions of hegemonic masculinities include risk-taking, self-discipline, physical toughness and/or muscular development, aggression, violence, emotional control, and overt heterosexual desire. Using a grounded theory approach, 43 men were interviewed focusing on the process of hegemonic masculinities construction (n = 25 pre-active duty Reserve Officer Training Corps members and n = 18 Delayed Entry Program men). By casting non-military personal (i.e., civilians) and service members of different branches (i.e., Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force), different occupational specialties (i.e., infantry, artillery, supply, etc.), and different rank (officer ver...

I'm not big on bloodlines. I have a dog that is a mixed shepherd and Rottweiler. I can't trace his bloodline, and it doesn't detract from his household dog duties (lay around the house and scare the cable guy). I don't know how many Daley's we have in public office, and how many generations are getting paid by the public-cither through public salaries or public sector contracts. Let's just say it is a sizeable number. Richard M. did not succeed Richard J. (there were a few mayors in between, including one female and two Blacks), but no one doubts that Richie Daley ran more on his name than his qualifications. None of that compares to l'affair de [Emil Jones Jr.]. Rather than trust the voters to elect the best possible candidate, Emil Jones Jr. decided that he would announce that he want...
Can college participation have any meaningful effects for former prisoners, beyond quantifiable measures of recidivism and income? Although stigma, overt discrimination, and a shrinking low-skilled labor market form notable challenges to reentry, some studies suggest that college experience helps former prisoners successfully avoid recidivism. Nevertheless, scholars continue to debate how college may work as a mechanism for reducing criminal activity. Proposing that college increases former prisoners' access to mainstream opportunities and holds particular implications in the labor market; this paper revises Lofland's normal-smith theory to identify a new kind of institution coined: the 'opportunity-smith'. Thematic content analysis of data gathered through interviews with seventeen for...
A comparative content analysis of CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC examined the extent to which the cable news networks utilize their news crawls or "tickers" for promotional purposes. Situated in economic, branding, and promotional theory, the study revealed that two out of three cable networks utilized their news tickers for some overt self-promotion, but used them infrequently as synergistic promotional tools for their parent companies, indicating journalistic integrity within this news space for the present time. The study also provides baseline information on the nature of cable news tickers.
The supreme leader of fundamentalist Islamic Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has confirmed the legitimacy of the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He did so publicly at a prayer ceremony Friday at Tehran University, symbolically reinforcing the close connection between the very traditional Muslim religion and practical politics in this country. Reformist political leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who lost the election and has strongly challenged the results as rigged, was notably absent. As the ayatollah spoke, a very large audience chanted "death to the U.S.," which has become common background music in this sort of political theater. Three decades ago, Iran's popular rejection of secular modernization, the overthrow of the ruling Shah Reza Pahlevi and the return to Islamic tr...
