I just received a report that it is 95 degrees in Lambert Fieldhouse. Extra fans are being obtained, but the situation is not likely to improve much before 7 pm. Make sure you wear light clothing and bring plenty of cold water. Please pass the word to your friends and dorm-mates in the class!
Thank you!

Five Myths About Crime in Black America—and the Statistical Truths
In the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death, we’ve seen a lot of discussion of the larger societal issues that play into how and when people are perceived as criminals. There were hoodies, there were marches, and there were frank talks from parent to child about how to minimize the danger of being a young person of color. On the other side, there were justifications of George Zimmerman’s actions: a smear campaign against Martin’s character, and plenty of writers explaining that statistically, blacks are simply more dangerous to be around.
That framing ignores the realities behind the numbers. Here are five myths about crime and people of color.
CC: Click on the photo of the third myth in order to see the fourth one (perhaps this is just my pc, but it isn’t showing).
I have a feeling I’ll be referring back to this a lot in the near future
I’m interested to know the difference between “crew” and “gang” in the fifth picture.
Irony of Ironies, according to research in Freakonomics, the crime rate fell because of Roe v. Wade. I wish that was brought up more.
That’s why I’m voting Tea Party
My favorite was always Obama wants the government to take over social security, but I feel like these shirts are like 2 years out of style.
