Done with Internet and Politics syllabus, on to Public Policy. Speaking of public policy (what you guys call Social Problems), if you guys aren’t aware of TED, it is an amazing teaching resource. I showed this Hans Rosling talk to my Research Methods class (It would work equally well for social inequality or race, class, gender). I don’t think I’ve ever seen students that excited about data! It wasn’t natural 😉
On to le liens épais I think that’s ThickLinks in French.

Great to see Landon Donovan is now playing for my favorite club Bayern Munchen.

I had no idea we had other soccer geeks on this blog! What I loved about Landycakes' first goal for BM was that it was a simple turn-and-shoot. He never does that for the national team. Let's hope he's gets some starts when they get back to play league games.

Cool! maybe we'll need to change the blog to "Ph.D. Soccer"! Landon scored a few goals like that for the Galaxy this past year. If he has his head on straight, he could be an effective player in Europe....great pace and vision. If Freddy Adu gets time at Monaco and Jozy develops at Villareal, we could actually have a potent side for World Cup qualifying. We better....Mexico has some great young stars (Vela, Dos Santos) and Honduras has some seriously talented forwards.
