- Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) in the Frame of Traumatic Experiences. Concept was new to me.
- Young people are correct to rethink Richard Nixon's legacy.
- SEC school leaders exploring extreme steps over LSU plan to sign former pro athletes. Maybe LSU could form a semi-pro league?
- UCLA fires AD Martin Jarmond. There really was no outcry among Bruins fans as many thought the move was overdue.

- Ben Askren back in hospital after double lung transplant. Was not aware he had a transplant (or that he was already 41).
- Reminder - aircraft carriers of the world. USA! USA!
- UCLA to pay $6 million to settle discrimination suit brought by Jewish students. Good! Still say any person arrested for protesting on university grounds who is not a student should be arrested.
- Iceland is an interesting place. Long but interesting read.

- Interesting.
- UCLA names DeShawn Foster as HC

Last week USC and UCLA shocked the college football world by announcing they were joining the Big 10. Having had some time to digest the news - here's a couple of observations.
First, when there were no NFL teams in Los Angeles - college football was king. Especially with Pete Carroll's USC championship teams. Now LA has both the Rams and Chargers and overall interest in college football is on the wane. LA in a couple of years will be similar to Boston where no matter how good BC is the interest is minimal compared to the Patriots. Guessing it will take less than 8-years.
Adding USC and UCLA is a big win for the Big 10. The Midwest teams and their fans get to go to sunny California as basically the equivalent of an extra bowl game vacation a year. Also a big win for Big 10 recruiting, as these teams get an extra in with Southern Cal recruits. Will be especially important if, as I predicted, the local LA teams go on a downward spiral.

- Why I am Suing UCLA. Higher ed is a mess. Much of the problem resides in middle-management bureaucrats who bring nothing to the table except costs. Hope he takes UCLA for millions.
- Think calling the vaccine booster shot a "third, guaranteed lethal injection" is a bit much but the anecdotal evidence is troubling. And keep in mind there's no legal repercussions to Pfizer if that third shot is lethal to someone. (HT American Digest)
