Pop “Quizz” In what has become a prolonged era of defensive disparity for Washington, many of the Pac-10’s best running backs have padded their stats at the Huskies’ expense. So there’s little doubt that Oregon State’s freshman phenom Jacquizz Rodgers, who is boasting a rushing average of 119 yards per game, has his eye on a huge day Saturday at Husky Stadium. And there’s little reason to believe he won’t have one. Even USC — which has a defense considered by many to be the best in the nation — couldn’t contain Rodgers. That’s bad news for Washington, which is allowing 233 yards rushing per game — a total that ranks 114th in the nation. “Quizz has done very well for us,” OSU coach Mike Riley said. “He was one we earmarked as a guy that would enter into the competition to play for us at tailback.” Rodgers stands at 5-feet-7-inches, fitting into the typical OSU mold of the small, compact running back — think Ken Simonton and Yvenson Bernard. “We’ve had guys that are shorter,” Riley said. “I think that those guys had tremendous quickness and very good vision and were very tough and I think Quizz has all those qualities.” Rodgers’ size may even be an advantage. Shorter running backs are harder to see in the backfield, which makes it tougher for defensive linemen to identify where the ball is. “He’s small, and we’re going to have to look for him,” UW defensive end Daniel Te’o Nesheim said. “If you just stay in your gap, and everybody’ ...

The October 13, 2008, issue of THE NEW YORKER had an outstanding article by Harvard historian Jill Lepore detailing how American elections evolved from voice voting to the current "Australian" ballot, printed by the government, and the consequent decline in voter turnout. (Unfortunately the article is not yet available online.) Those interested in further elaboration on how Progressive era reforms made U.S. elections far less representative, see the excellent Mark Lawrence Kornbluh, WHY AMERICA STOPPED VOTING: THE DECLINE OF PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY AND THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN AMERICAN POLITICS (New York: NYU Press, 2000). Contrary to the implications of Bryan Caplan's MYTH OF THE RATIONAL VOTER and the impressions of many libertarians, government policies--at least in the U.S.--were at their most libertarian when voter turnout was highest. ...

"I wasn't going to fight them alone, so I ended up hiring a lawyer and they eventually paid up but it cost me dearly. I lost six weeks of wages when I was off recovering from my injury. Our income is approximately $40,000 a year, and we have two kids in college and a mortgage. It has caused a lot of unnecessary stress both at home and at work. Why is this happening in one of the richest countries in the world? Why aren’t we entitled to guaranteed healthcare?" Sponsored by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee -------------------------------- Eighty-two percent of Americans think the U.S. healthcare system should be fundamentally changed or completely rebuilt (Commonwealth Fund, Aug. 7, 2008). America's nurses know that only single-payer, improved and expanded Medicare for all will fix our broken system and the tragedy of our devastated families. HR 676, by U.S. Rep John Conyers, is the most comprehensive, cost effective way to achieve guaranteed healthcare for all.   ...
