FIFA needs technology upgrade
2There was the American college player who punched, pulled hair and ran roughshod over everything in her path. There were the Egyptian fans who were intimidated by the knives, swords and flares of their Algerian counterparts. There was the stoning of the Algerian team bus by those same Egyptian supporters -- a fitting bit of vengeance in a week that has done so much to disgrace the sport.

Once more, with feeling!
Glee, the hit TV series about the choir at a Midwestern American high school, is making a lot of noise. Critics cite the sharp writing, the appealing characters, the divinely androgynous Jane Lynch -- all that good stuff. But I think audiences love the show because it fulfils our collective craving for big musical production numbers.

Professors' tired tales disappoint
LOCAL professors Jim Silver, Lawrence Deane, Elizabeth Comack and social worker Larry Morrissette and their recent research are disappointing. Funded by a grant, the group set aside two days in August to chew the fat with six career street-gang members at a Gimli resort (where they were "less likely to be harassed"), hoping to harvest input that could be used to combat inner-city violence.
