There has been a bit of work in economics and much less in sociology. I am happy to report that, at the International Sociological Asso- ciation Meetings at the University of Essex, 1996, there were some 12 papers, of which three deserve special attention since they offer both the basic research design as well as the analytic tools with which to search for the loose patterns deep in complex data sets. I will report, briefly, on the papers along with one just recieved from colleague at U/Alberta, Canada. In passing, I will try to explain, briefly, the great potential for this new science for a few topics of interest to progressives everywhere. A. Hamilton, Patti, 'Applications of Chaos theory to Social Science Research.' This paper was the lead paper and the most advanced of the four data based papers presented. Hamilton and her team at Texas Woman's University analysed 1.2 million cases of teen- age birthing and found two hidden attractors buried deep in a very noisy set of data. They used new analytic software to process the data. Email: Hamilton showed that social behavior was driven by a complex algorithm in which biology served as the source of order while disorder arose from the objective social conditions in which the teen-age mothers found themselves. The changing mix of order and dis-order can not be tracked by standard research protocols based upon the assumption of order and the search for tight correlations. B. Sportsman, Susan. 'Chaos in Health Systems.' Sportsman studied the effects of 3rd party carriers on health insurance for quality and quantity of health care for women in hospital for delivery. She suggested the algorithm which produced non-lin- earity in birthing services probably had to do with the degree to which M.D.'s had control over billing procedures. C. Mitchell, De Ann. "Non-linear Analysis of Weaning Data." Mitchell searched for evidence of non-lineary in the respiratory rate of patients who were 'weaned' from mechanical ventilators. She displayed graphics which showed how the order hidden in her data were revealed by the three pieces of software she used to analyse the data. These graphics were constrasted to standard analytic tools which did not catch the complexity in the data. D. Solomonovich, M., L.P. Apedaile, H.I. Freedman, A.H. Gebremedihen, S.G.M. Schilizzi and L. Belostotski. 'Sustainable Agri- Culture: A Dyanmical Economic Model.' Solomonovich and his Associates at U/Alberta addressed the ways in which a complex 3-dimensional system behaved. The three sub-systems were the ecosphere, agriculture and industry. The model demonstrated that given settings of the three variables produced strange attractors. The interesting thing about the model is that it can be used to show how to manipulate the variables in order to achieve 'favorable' dynamics...that is to say, to get the mix of order and disorder deemed right. E. Discussion: There are rivers of knowledge awaiting to be explored by social science. Consider the following: 1. There is a changing ratio of order to dis-order in complex social dynamics. These papers serve as models in social science research. Rather than look for high correlations predictability and rational/formal theory, Chaos theory instructs us to look for the factors which drive a system into ever greater disorder. It also sets the quest for the change points which transform sameness into similarity; similarity into qualitatively different dynamics; difference into great dis-order. 2. There are great advantages to dis-order: it is the realm of change, renewal, surprize and survival in a ceaselessly changing environment. Non-linear social dynamics support the mix of order and dis-order needed for creativity and dependability in marriage, business, governance, education and the arts. It provides the possibility of poetic genius in symbolic interaction, religion and recreation. 3. It is the realm in which both organic evolution takes the great qualitative leaps lost to archeology and anthropology as well as the arena in which social revolution bursts out to alter oppressive social relations. 4. Human agency expands and contracts as the ratio between order and disorder change. Too much order impairs human agency; too little order makes planning, goal-seeking and intentionality very, very difficult. 5. Chaos theory re-unites the physical, biological and social sciences in ways not imaginable to those who separated them in the 19th century. The research designs now being devel- oped in the social sciences will ground a much different politics as well as a post-modern philosophy of science. The 1996 Meetings of the ISA serve as a base point to which those in the history of social science can point as an event comparable to the work of Comte, Durkheim, Marx and Weber in the 19th century.

On Sunday, August 18th, at 2:30 (check your program for details!) there is an "author meets the critics" session discussing Bill Form's "Segmented Labor, Fractured Politics" and my "Politics and the Class Divide: Working People and the Middle Class Left" (featuring Pam Roby, Rick Fantasia, Ruth Milkman, Beth Mintz, and Judith Stephan-Norris). Pam Roby had the idea of holding a VERY brief meeting immediately AFTER the session to collect names and e-mail addresses of folks who would be interested in discussing the possible formation of a working class caucus within the ASA---or to organize some other activities with a working-class focus (including a possible listserv specifically for working class issues in sociology, ASA, etc.) Also, if you're NOT going to be at ASA but are interested in this line of discussion, drop me an e-mail and I'll make sure your name and e-mail address get added to our list.

The Data and Program Library Service at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is pleased to announce the availabiliy of these important data via our World Wide Web on-line data archive. This site provides access to the raw data and documentation from the Wisconsin Basic Needs Study. This study is a longitudinal survey of 2,000 Wisconsin families, conducted in the 1980's for the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services. The objectives of the study were to describe the basic needs of families, to observe the variation in needs as a function of household size and composition, region, and season, and to determine the behavioral and psychological responses to changes in the ability of families to satisfy their consumption requirements. The sample consists of a cross-section of households throughout the state, supplemented by special oversampling of households in which the Department of Health and Social Services has a particular policy interest (AFDC households, female-headed households with dependent children, households with heads 65 years of age or older, and low-income households).

Shall we discuss with her how many of the nine million children currently on AFDC will die as a result of welfare "reform?" Shall we discuss how many of the estimated 1.3 million legal immigrants who are about to lose Medicaid benefits will die? While we eat our $15 lunch with Ms. Shalala, shall we discuss how the millions of low income workers who are about to lose food stamps will avoid starving to death? Shall we discuss how low the real minimum wage will go when welfare recipients in Mississippi are required to work for their miserably small monthly welfare checks? Shall we discuss how many elderly who lose Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid will die? Shall we discuss why Shalala, the Children's Defense Fund, and other allies of the Democratic Party have decided that it is taboo to condemn welfare "reform" as racist and sexist? Their focus on children implicitly surrenders to the despicable idea that adult welfare recipients are inherently "undeserving." Their unwillingness to point out that welfare "reform" is legitimized by an unrelenting ideological campaign of racist and sexist scapegoating and that its impact will disproportionately affect minorities and women (although there are more whites than blacks on welfare) is evidence of their total capitulation to racist Republican forces. Welfare "reform" is indeed a "defining moment" for the Democrats and their allies, revealing with special clarity and forcefulness that Democrats and Republicans are equally enemies of the poor and working class, that Democrats and Republicans both carry out the capitalist dirty work of destroying the lives of workers to enlarge corporate profits, and that millions of workers cannot go on living under capitalism and must fight for the abolition of fascist wage slavery. Undoubtedly Ms. Shalala disagreed with some of these cutbacks. After all, even her boss Bill Clinton has said that there were a few provisions of the bill to which he objected. But Clinton is going to sign the bill, and Shalala has not condemned this slave labor plan or resigned in protest, which would be the only decent thing to do. No, Shalala seems to be planning to stay on and to administer and direct policies that will kill thousands of people, and she would like for some of us sociologists to help her do that. In the annual budget of the Federal Government $240 billion is paid in "debt service" to wealthy capitalists who have loaned the Government money. That is ten times current annual AFDC expenditures. Capitalists are the dependent parasites who get rich on government handouts. What kind of system throws people out of homes and hospitals and onto the streets to die while billionaires get richer? What kind of sociologist wants to be a paid hack for such a system? We've had a lot of discussion on PSN and ABS recently about welfare "reform." But now is crunch time. What shall we do? My friends in the Progressive Labor Party are calling for a protest against Shalala and her ASA allies. What do you think we should do?

The Japanese smileys are intricate in their design, somewhat ambiguous in their expression and, in what many here would argue is a big advance, are right side up instead of sideways. The basic smiley in Japan is (^-^) and is much easier to recognize as a face than the Western version. But since the mouth doesn't curl upward (no character on the keyboard can do that), the Japanese smiley is somewhat harder to understand without knowing the context. "It's the same with Noh masks," said Miho Ueda, head of the Internet division at Isenet, referring to the masks with blank expressions used in a traditional form of Japanese drama. "They may appear expressionless to beginners, but they can be full of emotion if you understand." Other Japanese emoticons: \(^-^)/ or \(^o^)/ banzai smile (arms raised in cheer) (^.^) girl's smile (it's impolite for a woman to= show her teeth) ^(;) cold sweat (the most-used emoticon in Japa= n) ^(=F4>) excuse me (scratching your head) talk about cryptic....!

Larsen" To: Sociology Graduate Students -- International Subject: Deviant Behavior syllabi I will be teaching a senior level undergraduate class called Deviant Behavior this fall. It will be the first teaching assignment I have ever had. Does anyone have any old syllabi they have used for a similar class in the past? If so, please send me a copy on e-mail privately before Friday August 30th. Thanks! Elizabeth Larsen elarsen@erols.com Hi Elizabeth, I thought I would re-send this just so the original message would be here for you. I have never taught a deviant behavior class either. I did teach a social problems class last summer. It was alot of work. White collar crime in America seems to be a deviant behavior that has been overlooked. Let me know if I can assist you in any way.
