However, I can't disagree with you that my politics are different than KC's. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case.<br /><br />IMO, DIW is a cut above many of the blogs I have visited. But, tearing down others who hold the opposite view on politics doesn't make the blog reader friendly. (The newspaper business has seemingly not learned that lesson yet.)<br /><br />If KC has no issues with putting trillions of dollars of debt onto the backs of his children and grandchildren, that's his right. Injecting derogatory spears at folks who don't hold that position is unnecessary.

I enjoy reading the blog because it is informative and provides a wealth of intelligent comments from other posters.<br /><br />Political comments are, by their very nature, polarizing. If I am required to read those comments while I am attempting to keep up to date I will simply not bother any more. There are alternate sites that cover Duke/Durham. It's the same reason I don't visit the NYT site. It's polarizing.<br /><br />I am just one reader, so I don't expect to see KC radically alter his commentary on account of me. I found his comments on the Tea Party participants offensive and I said so. I am sure he found my comments to be equally offensive. Perhaps something useful will come of it.

Duke will offer up to 700 buyouts
By Matth...H-S:<br /><br /><br /><I>Duke will offer up to 700 buyouts<br /><br />By Matthew E. Milliken : The Herald-Sun<br />Apr 22, 2009 <br /><br />DURHAM -- Duke University will soon offer voluntary buyouts to as many as 700 hourly workers as part of a plan to cut $125 million by 2012. <br /><br />Administrators announced the buyouts Tuesday at a forum and question-and-answer session attended by about 200 Duke employees and streamed live to dozens of computers on campus. <br /><br />Buyouts will be offered to workers 50 and older with at least 10 years of Duke service. Incentives given to those who take the buyouts will include retiree health insurance and increased pensions. It's not yet known how much the voluntary buyout of hourly workers will save. <br /><br />Administrators have considered buyouts of salaried employees, which include most faculty, but haven't yet devised a plan that would save money. <br /><br />In all, Duke has identified measures that bring it about halfway to its ultimate goal of cutting $125 million from the general budget. Administrators could know by late summer or early fall if layoffs are needed. <br /><br />Emphasizing a commitment to openness during the cost-cutting process, the members of the administrators' panel said the priorities during this austerity period would be maintaining the quality of the faculty and the experiences of undergraduate, graduate and professional students. They would not promise to avoid layoffs but called them a last resort. <br /><br />"I think the most important thing to say here is we're trying to do this carefully and deliberately," said Tallman Trask III, Duke's executive vice president. <br /><br />Administrators said they feel that Duke is better-positioned to deal with the current economic crunch than other universities for two reasons: <br /><br />- In December, the Board of Trustees authorized borrowing $500 million to use over the next three years as the university's income shrinks faster than its spending. Without that cushion, the school would have to make immediate cuts. <br /><br />"That has been a true significant advantage strategically," said Kyle Cavanaugh, the university's vice president for human resources. <br /><br />- Because of steady investments in the university's capital needs over the last decade, the university can and will cut its $300 million capital budget entirely without suffering immediate harm. The elimination of all construction, which is expected to last for two years, means delays in the New Campus project. <br /><br />In other cuts so far, Duke has frozen pay for all its more than 13,000 employees. (Workers who make up to $50,000 will get a one-time $1,000 bonus on July 1.) Duke has also instituted a hiring freeze, with exceptions made for key faculty members and grant-funded positions. <br /><br />For instance, Duke is aggressively recruiting workers to fill 18- to 24-month research positions sponsored by federal stimulus money. <br /><br />Because each academic unit is responding differently to the budget crunch, some departments will lose faculty members while others will hold steady or even grow slightly. <br /><br />Another cost-cutting measure is ending the printing of paycheck stubs for employees enrolled in the direct deposit program. (Most are, Cavanaugh said.) This will save the equivalent of one to two full-time workers. <br /><br />Along with avoiding involuntary layoffs, a key goal in cost-cutting is protecting benefits, administrators said. <br /><br />"Among many things that make it worthwhile to work at Duke is our benefits package," said Trask, to audible agreement from many spectators. <br /><br />Officials asked employees to contribute money-saving suggestions to www.duke.edu/economy, a site that also has information on the financial crunch. But few of the many ideas they've received so far have been either new or substantial. Trask noted that even if Duke eliminated all heating and water-chilling operations at the university and hospitals, "that would solve about 25 percent of the problem."</I>Debrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567454727276881424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-10884815855365107362009-04-22T09:19:00.000-04:002009-04-22T09:19:00.000-04:00I am glad to see in this blog post a reprinting of...I am glad to see in this blog post a reprinting of Prof. Anderson's report of Karla FC Holloway's views of the "guilt" of the Lacrosse Boys -- e.g., they are guilty because they were born white. To the anonymous commenter, above, who complained that this report is based on "hearsay", I would say (1) this is not a courtroom where someone's life, liberty, or property is at stake, and (2) Holloway is free to respond to the report. <br /><br />I think Prof. Anderson's <B>other</B> comment is at least as noteworthy. There he said<br /><br /><I>I know that Karla Holloway and her husband had a tragic situation with their adopted son, and from what I have been told, they did everything they could for him. I cannot even imagine the hurt they experienced, and I would not want to do anything that could open up those wounds</I>.<br /><br />That seems awfully collegial of you, Prof. Anderson. I have a different view. If, say, David Duke had adopted a toddler who as a 18-year-old went out and raped and murdered <B>black</B> women, would you be so sure that Mr. Duke "did everything he could" to avoid that "tragic experience" (nice euphemism!)? Or would you be more likely to believe that the nut doesn't fall far from the tree?<br /><br /><I>Yet, destroying the lives of David Evans, Reade Seligmann, and Collin Finnerty and their families was not the answer, either. If that is what Karla Holloway was wanting</I>...<br /><br />"<I><B>If</B></I>...?" <br /><br /><I>Unfortunately, my choice to become involved in this case has led others (on Syndey Harr's evil blog) to call me a racist and even worse. That is fine with me. If Mike Nifong's supporters wish to continue the Big Lies, I am quite glad to be included in them</I>.<br /><br />The first word is unnecessary, since you are glad. I have said that being called "racist" by the likes of the 88ers is a badge of honor, and now I would go further: If you are <B>not</B> being called "racist" in America today, you're part of the problem.<br /><br />RRHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-63588376624822781472009-04-22T08:47:00.000-04:002009-04-22T08:47:00.000-04:00Like any Longhorn alumnus, I was horrified to read...Like any Longhorn alumnus, I was horrified to read that "Lubiano [was] reminiscing about her time at the University of Texas". I knew for certain that she was not polluting the Forty Acres when I was there 30 years ago. On her <A HREF="https://fds.duke.edu/db/aas/Literature/faculty/wah/files/CV.pdf" REL="nofollow">CV</A>, under "Teaching (sic) Experience", she lists "[The] University of Texas, 1987-90; Department of English & Afro-American Studies". This is false. There is no "Department of English and Afro-American Studies", nor is there a "Department of Afro-American Studies". There is a <A HREF="http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/caaas/" REL="nofollow">"Center for African and African-American Studies"</A> which is not unaffiliated with the Department of English.<br /><br />Kudos to the anonymous commenter who pointed out the Huffington Post's apparent ignorance of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gonzales" REL="nofollow">the famous "Come and Take It" flag</A>. I would only point out that the name of the Texas town is spelled "Gonzale<I><B>s</B></I>", not "Gonzalez".<br /><br />That brings me to KC's mischaracterization of the recent massive grassroots protests as "Tea <B>Bag</B>" rather than "Tea Party". (I heard from the MSM -- how do they know such things? -- that "teabagging" is some sort of homosexual sex practice. Due to having an extremely inquisitive mind, I pondered further research into the specifics of this practice ... for about five seconds. Then I realized that John Stuart Mill could not have had "tea-bagging" in mind when he said that an informed man could not wish to be more ignorant.) Anyway, in defense of KC's misuse of "Tea Bag" when he should have said "Tea Party", well, it's not like he's a historian from Boston or anything. [/sarc]<br /><br />Finally, on a note of warning to other attorneys, I notice that our Group of 88 federal administration now says it will consider criminal charges for lawyers who give "incorrect" legal opinions. This is in the case of Office of Legal Counsel lawyers who wrote opinions about interrogation techniques of captured terrorists. This is apparently a "thought crime" now. But why limit it to lawyers? Why not also charge <B>judges</B> who write "incorrect opinions" about, say, death penalty cases?

Many of the "leaders" were using this to "prove" racist bias in the media, and, not surprisingly, the media people fell on their knees and bowed and scraped.<br /><br />Yet, the circumstances of their deaths was quite different. The NCCU student was killed, allegedly, by someone she knew, someone prominent in her community. Carson, on the other hand, allegedly was abducted at random by two young men who did not know her and who callously decided to kill her for the heck of it.<br /><br />Yet, because the men accused of murdering Carson are African-American, any extra coverage given to the event is automatically deemed "racist." Where people are mistaken in their perceptions, however, is that the newsworthiness of this story was not in the race of the people involved, but rather that a student body president of a prominent public university living in a supposedly "safe" community could be abducted and murdered at random.<br /><br />Furthermore, because at least one of the alleged killers had violated his probation agreements and should have been in jail but for the indifference of his probation officer. The combination of these facts made it a huge story.<br /><br />I hate to tell Reharmonizer and others, but racism did not drive the Carson coverage. Had her alleged killers been white, there would have just as much coverage given to it. Unfortunately, it was not the media, but people like Reharmonizer and others who decided to inject race into the story.<br /><br />Does he really think that but for the race of the accused killers, this would have been relegated to the police blotter or back-page coverage? That is nonsense.<br /><br />For that matter, we could make the Abhijit Mahato a "race-driven" story, since his accused killer also was accused of killing Carson. The coverage given to Mahato's murder was substantially less than the coverage for Carson's killing. Does that mean that the media "downplayed" it because Mahato was from India?<br /><br />No, I made the comments I did precisely because local African-Americans decided to turn the news coverage of the Carson murder into an accusation against the media of being racist. The Carson killing was a terrible thing, yet it seems that people like Reharmonizer were more worried about racial matters than the situation at hand.<br /><br />When one looks at how the NAACP, Irving Joyner, Cash Michaels, and others in Durham dealt with the lacrosse case, I think that we can say that race was the reason they were willing to accept prosecutorial lies, a crooked "line-up," and hiding of evidence. And, let's face it, they supported these things purely out of racial animus. They wanted Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans to go to prison because of their race and social status, not because of anything they did.<br /><br />Does anyone really think that Karla Holloway and Cash Michaels would have sat back and let a Durham prosecutor conduct an illegal lineup, fabricate evidence, and lie in a courtroom in an attempt to railroad African-American defendants? One would hope not, and one would hope that people of all races there would have seen it for the lie it was.<br /><br />Unfortunately, that is not the case. Even now, we have people in Durham insisting that Cooper somehow covered up a rape and assault for racial purposes. They are oblivious to the facts because they want to be oblivious.bill andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-86730124276278252162009-04-22T02:03:00.000-04:002009-04-22T02:03:00.000-04:00Does Debrah live in Durham?

Disinterest comes quickly. <br /><br />From the last quarter of the 20th century until now, the humanities academy has established a vetting process that selects the Zimmermans and the Lubianos of the world. They're nice enough people in their way, I suppose, but they're timid, roaring like lions for show, but really rushing to beg acceptance from their peers by always saying the right things in the right way. After all, let us not forget they're the inventors of campus speech codes. <br /><br />Johnson is a glaring anomaly in that world. He sticks out like a sore thumb. But he's much more fascinating and interesting than these others. He's fearless, as I said, and therefore much more deserving of respect.</I>Debrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567454727276881424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-49025101848343939472009-04-21T19:54:00.000-04:002009-04-21T19:54:00.000-04:00KC:

Just can't help yourself, right? The addict needs his fix.<br /><br />If you had some moral courage, you would put on your favorite denims and loafers and go talk to those bothersome protesters. You might learn something. Oh, but wait, as you frequently remind us, you're too busy writing those books, teaching classes and running blogs. Sorry. Better to just drop those back handed innuendos, right?<br /><br />I know you are liberal. OK. I understand completely. As it happens, I have several relatives on the Island that would make you look like a conservative Evangelist. But don't make everyone who reads the blog suffer through your political leanings. <br /><br />Ken<br />DallasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-84053674924251842852009-04-21T18:08:00.000-04:002009-04-21T18:08:00.000-04:00Does this never end?

Deans generally use the occasion to stop being held responsible for their own publishing, and are often people who couldn't make it in the peer review process so they judge everybody else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-443207587044763542009-04-21T11:10:00.000-04:002009-04-21T11:10:00.000-04:00LOL!!!
