THE FRESHMAN A taste for yogurt and Gaventa's theory of power (Daily Breeze)
I turned in my first real college paper earlier this week. It was eight pages of Gaventa's theory on the third-dimensional approach to power, in terms of Scott's hidden transcript and a bunch of fancy words I used to make it seem like I know what's going on even though I probably don't.

Letter: Why not adopt the 'trickle-up theory'? (Appeal-Democrat)
I heard a silly solution to the economic crisis the other day, but it just might work. It's the trickle-up theory. Instead of giving $7 billion to the people and businesses that have created this problem, let's give every American household $1 million.

Fuzziness on the road to physics' grand unification theory (PhysOrg)

Here's one way to call the slots tossup (Baltimore Sun)
T he last poll I saw on slots showed about 54 percent of Marylanders still supporting a state constitutional amendment allowing the gambling machines.
