Asad was able to trick me into a much more pertinent discussion of terrorism than I could have ever imagined. Asad’s analysis of power dynamics within Western liberal discourses of war, terrorism, the civilized, ‘the other,’ and justice is phenomenal, for he places each term in its Western context and analyzes the discrepancies between Western theories and their worldly manifestations. The essence of power is what makes this book so amazing, for as Asad says it best, “My argument, however, is…

regular season, the top eight teams in the Eastern and Western Conference go through to the playoffs. The teams are then seeded during the playoffs. For example, the best record team in the Western Conference goes has first round matchup against the playoff team within the same conference with the worst record.

Ehrlich's narrative focuses on what the life of a cowboy truly is when compared to the image of them created by the media. Generally, a 'cowboy' is a male rancher who is thought to be an insensitive, hard-bitten, tough young man who will accomplish any job needed for the ranch with no emotional reactions of any kind.

One of the largest on going issues dealing with the injustice that is the current NCAA rule system is the limited spreading of wealth/profit within the institutions. This can be seen in the tremendous profits schools make yearly due to their athletic programs. Where the problem/injustice comes into play here is in how the colleges/institutions are able to get away with not spreading their wealth/profits to those have earned compensation.

will be amongst the top four teams vying for a national title. The Horned Frogs have a Heisman Trophy candidate returning at quarterback in Trevone Boykin, and a defense that should be as stout as any in the Big 12. Without the ability to play in a conference championship game, TCU will have to run their regular season schedule to have a chance at a national…
