YouTube - Lily Allen - The Fear

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever
I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f***loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I’m getting thinner

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same

Study by USU Professor Finds Overweight Women at Risk - USU Statesman - Utah State University

Study by USU Professor Finds Overweight Women at Risk - USU Statesman - Utah State University
Previous studies have demonstrated that employers often attribute positive traits such as cooperativeness, intelligence and competence to attractive female employees, and view heavy women — often considered less attractive — as less productive, less capable of managing others. However, the new evidence suggests the disparity of career advancement begins long before an overweight individual even sets foot in the workplace — it occurs while people are still in the classroom.

Buckingham said the flash mob final exam pushed the students to connect their song choices, choreography and costumes to their course material. The students had to explain their sociological relevance before they were approved.

Sociology is the study of human behavior and how people influence each other. The Wootton students not only had to organize to perform, they had to observe their audience while they did it.

Weekly Standard: Kickin' Back with Tax Payer Money : NPR
The work done by most of my colleagues did bear on issues of wider relevance and not all of it was so ideologically compromised as to be useless. But the readership of academic journals is tiny, and most of this work had no impact beyond a small circle of interested academics — for understandable reasons. Philip Tetlock, a research psychologist at Berkeley, tested the accuracy of 82,361 predictions made by 284 experts including psychologists, economists, political scientists, and area and foreign policy specialists, 96 percent with post-graduate training. He found that their prognostications did not beat chance. The increasingly ideological nature of social science will not improve this record.

According to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, Harvard, donating 4 to 1 in favor of Democrats in 2008, was one of the more politically diverse major American universities. Ninety-two percent of employees at the University of Chicago donated to Democrats. The University of California favored Democrats over Republicans, 90 percent to 10 percent. And William and Mary employees preferred Democrats to the GOP by a margin of 99 percent to 1 percent. Neil Gross of Harvard found that 87.6 percent of social scientists voted for Kerry, 6.2 percent for Bush. Gross also found that 25 percent of sociologists characterize themselves as Marxists, likely a higher percentage than members of the Chinese Communist party. I would guess that if Lenin were around today he would be teaching sociology and seeking grants to fund the revolution.
