Medical report: The comedy of errors continues. Now I'm covered with little red spots! The doctors will be in later this morning. Is this what they meant by "allergic to antibiotics"? Eek! Oy! The little red spots have convinced them that this was drug-induced. And I'm not contagious. They think I'll have recovered enough to come in next Wednesday for Criminology class! Sorry, kids, you get me back. Actually, I'm kinda cute with these little red cheeks! jeanne

Excerpt from Harvest of Empire
Philadelphia's Mayor Puts His City on a Diet By Sara Rimer, Front page, March 12, 2001. this attracted my attention, especially since I gained weight during my recent bout with hepatitis. Although I'm surely not in any hurry to lose those pounds, I was impressed at the community approach to better eating habits and better health. What a great example of Durkheim's social facts! If we'll all bring in fresh vegetables and fruit instead of Reese's and chocolate raisins and gummy bears, it might be easier to eat sanely. And how about a pact to walk around the campus? jeanne, March 12, 2001

Discussion Questions and lecture notes from the Colorado School Shootings in jeanne's 1999 juvenile justice class
Book Reviews of Bill Mandel's Saying No to Power Autobiography of a 20th Century Activist and Thinker By William Mandel Creative Arts; 680 pages; $18.50 paperback . I've included this as a recommended book that some of you might like to select it for the complete story of injustice. If you are interested in radical left philosophy, this will give you a sense of what it was like in the 60s and what the socialist dream was like. I came across Bill Mandel's site when I was exploring his contribution to Progressive Sociologists Net on March 11, 2001. jeanne
Test Preparations by Class:
There are sample discussion questions and self tests up, at least on Peace and Conflict Test Preps. It's clear this is going to take me a while, especially since I'm still tired. How about we agree to take the next couple of weeks to develop these files, and we won't have a mid-term till after that? jeanne, Sunday, March 11, 2001.

Jeanne, it gives me a great deal of pleasure knowing that I will not need to figure out what material will be on a test or what kind of essay questions will be asked. It gives me a sense of control, or as you mentioned in our second class meeting, AGENCY. I'm glad I will not need to take notes like a "mad-man" for tests that may not be an indicative measurement of what I've learned. I have the ability to be in control and apply my knowledge of the course as I perceive it and understand it. It feels good for once to be in control.
On Sunday, March 11, jeanne responded:
Santos, I'm glad the test preparations are beginning to achieve our goals for agency. I hope you and your classmates will watch these files go up and help me design them so they work best for you. love and peace, jeanne
