| Procrastination May Be Killing You Posted: 28 Mar 2015 11:31 AM PDT  Weekend Pause Good morning, reader!
Here’s a song for your Saturday: Soul Clap’s “3 Wheel E-Motion”
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Today we are canceling all programs that require our customers/employees to travel to Indiana to face discrimination.” -- Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff after the midwestern state passed a law allowing religious businessowners to discriminate against LGBT people.
CHATTER FODDER
Don’t wait to deal with this. A new study found that people who admit to procrastinating things have higher rates of heart disease. The study didn’t say why, but there are a host of obvious possibilities, not least of which -- and I’m speaking from experience -- are the pangs of anxiety and stress that come of realizing something is past due. Do yourself a favor, stop putting it off, whatever “it” is. (I’m mostly saying this to myself.)
Obama loves “The Wire.” So much so, that the President of the United States interviewed the show’s creator David Simon to talk about the failures of the drug war. The cop drama, set in drug-addled Baltimore, is largely based on Simon’s experience as a Baltimore Sun reporter, witnessing firsthand the sisyphean attempts to curb drug abuse by arresting users. For all the interviews of Obama out there (I’m partial to my colleague Sam Stein’s, in particular), this has to be the best interview by Obama.
Grocery shopping while tired is bad for your waistline. New research shows that when participants in a study went food shopping after a night of sleep deprivation, they tended to purchase more calories than those that got a full night’s rest. It’s unclear why this occurs, but one theory suggests that the body craves more energy to burn when it’s sleep deprived.
Boko Haram started with street scuffle. A new graphic comic published on Medium illustrates the rise of the ISIS-allied Nigerian terrorist militia, which started over a fight between religious Muslims and police officers who insisted they wear helmets while riding a motorcycle.
Stop saying “mistress.” The term, denoting a woman in an extramarital affair, is antiquated and sexist and denies her agency in the relationship she is having with a married man. The boyfriend of a married woman doesn’t have a specific name, why should the girlfriend of a married, straight man?
Grindr can be used as a real estate app. Sort of. A new essay by BuzzFeed’s Matt Ortile describes his experience using the gay hookup app to sleep with various people, getting to sample their lives for at least just an evening. He’d stay over in all his favorite Manhattan neighborhoods, getting a taste for the permanent life he craved as he spent the summer subletting in New York while attending Vassar College, which is located upstate. By summer’s end, he reaches some powerful conclusions about what it means to be “home.”

|   | | Calling yourself a bitch.. Dean Smith's gift.. And where the racist SAE song came from.. Posted: 28 Mar 2015 09:29 AM PDT  Saturday March 28, 2015 UNC Students: Why Are We Still Honoring A KKK Leader In 2015? Students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are renewing a push for the school to change the name of a building named after a 19th-century Ku Klux Klan leader. Saunders Hall is named after William Saunders, a Confederate colonel who later became a chief organizer for the KKK in North Carolina. UNC named the building, which primarily houses the history department, in 1922 to honor Saunders' work compiling Colonial records. Students have been pushing the school to rename the building for years. This year, student activists are asking the university to rename it for Zora Neale Hurston -- who, prior to integration, was the school's first black student -- and to require that each student take a campus tour explaining the racial history of the university. They're also asking for the school to put up a plaque providing historical context to the "Silent Sam" Confederate soldier monument on campus: At the statue's 1913 unveiling, a tobacco manufacturer bragged about whipping a "Negro wench" for insulting a Southern lady and credited the Confederacy with protecting the "Anglo-Saxon race."

SAE Fraternity Members Learned Racist Song At National Leadership Event The Sigma Alpha Epsilon members who were caught on video singing a racist song learned the offensive lyrics at a national fraternity leadership cruise four years ago, the University of Oklahoma revealed Friday. In a document obtained by The Huffington Post, the university concluded that the students learned the song on a cruise organized by the national SAE office four years ago. Fraternity members brought the racist song back to the OU chapter, the university's investigation found, and over time, it was "taught to pledges as part of the formal and informal pledge process." The document said that the song was widely known and became part of the "institutionalized culture of the chapter." SAE's national headquarters shut down the University of Oklahoma chapter on March 8, hours after video surfaced showing fraternity members on a bus singing "There will never be a n***r in SAE" to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It." The university ordered the students to vacate the fraternity house, which is owned by OU, within two days, and later moved to expel two students identified as having a "leadership role" in the song's usage.

Dean Smith Prearranged Kind Gesture For Former Players After His Death Legendary North Carolina coach Dean Smith died last month at the age of 83, but he's still taking every single letterman who played for him out to dinner. In a touching posthumous act of gratitude, Smith's trust, following the late coach's instructions, has mailed out $200 checks to each of the nearly 200 varsity lettermen he coached. The coach had one last directive: "Enjoy a dinner out." Read more.  Student Indicted For Hanging Noose Around Ole Miss Statue Honoring James Meredith A federal grand jury indicted a student at the University of Mississippi on two separate civil rights charges on Friday for hanging a noose and a flag depicting a Confederate symbol around a campus statue honoring James Meredith, the first African-American student to attend the university. Ole Miss student Graeme Phillip Harris was indicted on one count of conspiracy to violate civil rights and one count of using a threat of force to intimidate black students because of their race or color, prosecutors said. "This shameful and ignorant act is an insult to all Americans and a violation of our most strongly-held values," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "No one should ever be made to feel threatened or intimidated because of what they look like or who they are. By taking appropriate action to hold wrongdoers accountable, the Department of Justice is sending a clear message that flagrant infringements of our historic civil rights will not go unnoticed or unpunished."

College Student Who Went Missing For Weeks Says She Was Stressed A 22-year-old college student whose disappearance had police scouring Southern California for weeks said she was overwhelmed with personal problems when she decided to walk away. Sahray Barber, whose March 9 disappearance triggered a huge land and air search across Southern California's Inland Empire, called her father 17 days later to say she was all right. Read more.  College Wrestling Champion Opens Up About His Sexuality Former Ohio State NCAA champion wrestler Mike Pucillo opened up about his sexuality in a new interview with Open Mat's Jason Bryant. Pucillo, who was a three-time All-American and 2008 NCAA Division I Champion at Ohio State, recalled coming out as gay to his best friend and college teammate, Reece Humphrey, in the interview. According to the magazine, he is now the first openly gay Division I national champion wrestler. "I've always known, I guess," Pucillo, who came out to his parents and friends just over a year ago, said. He hesitated coming out as an Ohio State competitor: "I wish I was able to be myself seven years ago while still competing in college, but it isn't until now that I am comfortable with myself to tell my story. I want people to know that you aren't alone. If I can just help one person get through, then I will be happy." Read more.  Colleges Are Getting Out Of The Health Insurance Business The federal health care overhaul is leading some colleges and universities to get out of the health insurance business. Experts are divided on whether this change will be good or bad for students. Some call it an inevitable result of health care reform and a money-saver for students since insurance in the marketplace is usually cheaper than the college plans. Others worry that more students will go without health insurance since their premiums won't be folded into the lump sum they pay for school, and they say college health plans offer more coverage for the money than other options. The main driver of colleges getting out of the insurance business is a provision in the Affordable Care Act that prevents students from using premium tax subsidies to purchase insurance from their college or university, according to Steven M. Bloom, director of federal relations for the American Council on Education, a Washington, D.C., group representing the presidents of U.S. colleges and universities. Read more.  New Federal Data Show Student Loan Borrowers Suffering More Than Previously Believed About one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late on their payments, according to new federal data. The figures, released by the Education Department on Thursday, are the first comprehensive look at the delinquency plaguing those who hold federal student loans. By the new metric, which the department has never used before, roughly 33 percent of borrowers were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans as of Dec. 31. (Since the department only released individual figures for its four largest contractors, rather than a total percentage, however, the actual figure may be a few percentage points higher or lower.) Previous measures had put the delinquency rate much lower, masking the true amount of distress among borrowers trying to make good on their taxpayer-backed debts. Some 41 million Americans collectively carry more than $1.1 trillion in education loans owned or guaranteed by the Education Department, a total that surpasses every form of consumer credit in the U.S. except home mortgages. Thursday's figure reflects more than two-thirds of the $1.1 trillion total. The remainder is owned by the private sector as part of a bank-based federal loan program that has since been discontinued.

03/28/15 5:00 AM PT |  | Someway, somehow, it's apparently legal to own the XM42 flamethrower in the United States, unless you happen to live in California or Maryland. I can't fathom any circumstance under which a weapon -- let's not mince words here -- capable of shooting flames 25 feet should be available for anyone to pick up if they have $700 lying around to back Ion Productions' crowdfunding campaign.

The Federal Reserve Board has released its fourth annual study of consumers' mobile commerce behaviors. The report shows a continued boom in banking on mobile phones and other devices rather than at a teller desk. Central to the report's findings is the growing number of "banked" consumers -- those with full access to bank services -- who also use a smartphone.
