Notre Dame will hire Stanford's Willingham as coach
(ESPN.com)
-
Tyrone Willingham has accepted a six-year deal to become Notre Dame's football coach, his agent told ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli on Monday.The ND job is one of the biggest in all of sports, so it was probably too hard to say no, but this is probably the worst news you could ever give to a die-hard Stanford fan and alum. What a disappointing way to end 2001. Thanks for some great years, Tyrone, including the 2000 Rose Bowl. Good luck. Touchdown Jesus will be looking down on you.

Project Greenlight
(HBO Online)
-
One "lucky" guy finds out what it really takes to make a movie.BoyCaught loves HBO. After watching one episode of this new show, brought to you by those obnoxious bozos, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, it makes one wonder why anyone would want to make a studio movie. Too many people standing around, too much money at stake, too many rules, too many unions, too many opinions, too many distractions, too many intangibles. And all this for a "little movie" that hardly anyone will ever see ... probably. It seems more like an assisted suicide than an artistic process.

Stanford tops Michigan State
(ESPN.com)
-
With Stanford's best player struggling, Curtis Borchardt turned in his finest effort and gave the Cardinal (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 16 AP) its best win of the season.The college football season is basically over. And BoyCaught's Stanford Cardinal had a great season, Seattle Bowl notwithstanding. But now it's time for hoops, hoops, hoops. The Card had a nice comeback win over a good Michigan State team. BoyCaught likes the new frosh faces on the team, especially smooth-as-silk Josh "Afro" Childress. He's a baller.

What was hot and what was not in the year 2001? Our Year-End Google Zeitgeist feature provides a glimpse at what captivated the world over the past 12 months, based on the most popular search terms on the world's most popular search engine.Every blogger seems to be jumping on this one ... and isn't that the point of having a weblog: pointing to the same thing that everyone else is pointing to? Still, it's pretty interesting to see the most popular things that everyday peeps seem to be searching for ... other than porno. Google is bangin'.

US Blacks Delay Start of AIDS Therapy, Quit Sooner
(Yahoo! News)
-
African American Medicaid recipients take longer than their white peers to start taking the most effective AIDS drugs, and are the least likely to consistently use the treatments, according to recent study findings.The irony is that Black folk are dying from AIDS at staggeringly higher rates than other groups. But BoyCaught has a straw of doubt to stir this drink with: the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. As quoted in a report that covered that dark chapter in American medical history, "The Study continues to cast a long shadow over the relationship between African Americans and the bio-medical professions." There still is no (publicly) know cure to AIDS. Maybe you can't blame a brutha for doubting what may just add up to quackery ... particularly if life depends on it.

Big crop of opium expected next year / Afghan farmers may have to be paid off
(SFGate)
-
With the change in government in Afghanistan, some senior Bush administration officials have proposed a one-time buyback of opium as an emergency measure.Are we now starting to scratch the surface of what's really going on with this "War of Terrorism"? Afghanistan, or the Golden Triangle? The world's opium -- and the hundreds of billions that go with it -- is going to come from somewhere. Eh tu?

Seattle Bowl

Stanford loses 24-14, in a lackluster performance that one might expect from a team that hadn't played in nearly a month. BoyCaught wants to thank the Cardinal, especially the seniors, for a surprisingly great year. A 9-3 record and a certain Top-15 final ranking are not bad. Thanks team.

Poor White Racism
(Infoshop News)
-
The situation of poor and working-class whites is this: They are being f*cked and most of them know it and many of them partially have the correct idea about who is actually f*cking them, however, they also are willing to accept that people of color are either partly or totally responsible for their situation. Why? Because it's f*cking easy. It is easier to beat up on a black man than it is to beat up on capitalism. It is easier to lynch a person of color than it is to actually do something about your own situation.Voila. And for Black folk, it's easier to beat up on each other than do something about our own sitch. Voila. And for Black folk, it's easier to beat up on each other than do something about our own sitch. And for rich and middle class whites, who enjoy all the fruits of this culture, it's easier to live in exclusive ivory towers, than face their own responsibilities for things. (b/w randomWalks)

As Digital Divide Diminishes, E-Commerce Might Not Benefit
(E-Commerce News)
-
A recent study by the Yale School of Management and the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business found that the Internet serves as "an equalizer" for those whose demographic characteristics -- primarily African-Americans, Hispanics and women -- might end up costing them at a car dealership. Researchers found that minority buyers pay about 2 percent more than white customers -- about $500 on the average car -- at a dealership. Most of this difference is due to factors such as differing income, education and search costs, the study said. It did not reveal evidence of statistical race discrimination. On the Internet, however, minorities pay the exact same prices as non-minorities, regardless of income, education or other factors, according to the studyFor the record, BoyCaught just bought a truck ... online. Why? The price was too perfect. In-person negotiations would have probably added at least another $2000 to the price.

BTW, the Howstuffworks site is a bangin' place to start looking for basic information on just about anything.

Roots of Resentment: America, Great Britain and the Arab World
(American RadioWorks)
-
I asked playwright Harold Pinter if he thinks Americans possess any special gift for being illiterate in world affairs. "Well, I think we're pretty American, sorry, didn't mean to say American," he laughs. "I think we're pretty ignorant over here too." Lots of people use those terms interchangeably after all.Ol' Shrub is turning this country into the political laughingstock. But he's probably familiar with that feeling.

Even when Jennifer Lopez is doing a music video benefiting victims of both the recent terrorist attacks and the African AIDS epidemic, J. Lo is high maintenance. Along with dozens of other performers, Lopez has participated in a charity remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," and was at Miami's Big Time studio on October 20 to film her cameo in the accompanying music video. But before the shoot, Lopez's representatives gave the production crew this detailed "rider" describing what needed to be in place prior to the diva's arrival.Get real, J-Lo.

The Left blinds itself to the truth about bin Laden
(The Telegraph UK)
-
Well, let us concede at once, it is possible that the bin Laden tape is a fake; that America, on the very brink of victory in Afghanistan, should somehow feel so unsure of its case against bin Laden that it would take the seemingly insane risk of hiring actors and technicians, and then release a fabrication for world scrutiny.Yes: it's possible. But is it likely?

MLK family, CBS wrangle over
(CNN.com)
-
Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech during a huge civil rights rally in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963. His delivery, caught by television cameras, seared the words into the nation's memory. But is the speech an intellectual property protected by a copyright? King's family believes it is because he copyrighted the speech shortly after he gave it, just as he copyrighted other speeches and documents. "I don't see that there's anything wrong with an author getting paid for his work," said King's widow, Coretta Scott King. The King family is asking the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rule in their favor and order CBS News to pay for infringing on King's copyright by including footage from the speech in a documentary.

Stories from Young People with HIV
(HIVInSite/UCSF)

These stories reflect many of the themes I have heard from other youth; how low self-esteem and sense of self can play into the behaviors that put them at risk for HIV in the first place; how they did not have enough information about HIV to really know they were at risk to get it; how many times they just wanted to be loved and told they were worthy of love and what they were willing to do to find this love.I only listened to one of the four stories here, "Marie's Story," but it was riveting, heartbreaking and so tragic. Audio only. (RealAudio player/plug-in required.)

Care for a Dying Continent

"I have come to Zimbabwe because it represents one of the best of the worst. As in other sub-Saharan African nations, the AIDS problem here is so severe that it eclipses the often-used term 'crisis.' AIDS is destined to alter history in Africa--and, in fact, the world--to a degree not seen in humanity's past since the Black Death. But unlike some other African countries, Zimbabwe is not riven by tribal violence. If any behavioral intervention against AIDS will work in Africa, one of its best chances will be here."Long article, but it paints a vivid, if somewhat disturbing, portrait of "Ground Zero" in the AIDS epidemic.
