Array-ne Seth Davis’s most recent column, in which he decries the use of Fighting Sioux at U. Davis suggests that Now, the University of North Dakota, home of the Fighting Sioux, has appealed for an exemption [from new NCAA rules which FSU, Utah, and Central Michigan received]– even though UNDs nickname has been officially condemned by the vast majority of the tribal leaders in the state.” But he fails to mention that a survey conducted on his own campus five years ago showed 67 percent of UNDs Native American students believed the school should junk its Fighting Sioux nickname.” According to the 2000 US census, North Dakota has one of the largest Native American populations (both in terms of raw and percentage numbers), and the Sioux tribe is the second largest (behind Cherokee) in the United States. As Davis notes, “Moreover, late last week, the United Tribes of North Dakota, an association of those five tribes inside the state (three of which are Sioux), passed a resolution in Bismark condemning the nickname and imploring the NCAA to turn down UNDs appeal.

Though lacking in experience, the pair do bring a level of energy to the Sun every time that they step on the floor.Yes, Whalen’s offensive output (16.5 points per game) will be missed, but it is not the end of the world for Connecticut. With Taj McWilliams-Franklin (17.3), Nykesha Sales (11.5) and Katie Douglas (11.3) all averaging double figures during the playoffs, and Asjha Jones adding 9.5 per game, coach Mike Thibault has plenty of weapons at his disposal.It is a shame that after all the hard work she has put in, Whalen could — and I stress COULD — miss the finals.

That’s available online (can’t even be bothered to go find a link).I remember I was turned into stone by a basilisk within the first ten minutes of my playing the game, and had to sit around and watch the others play for about two hours. creative problem solving, posing as a character, the need for vast supplies of otherwise meaningless trivia about history and science…yeah, I was built for it.The game began, as I understand, at the university of Chicago, where a group of about fourteen students were shitting around creating a series of rules for a game which would not require a board, but would require imagination. I grew up playing board games, and whenever my parents thought the rules needed to be changed, they just did it. Thus I grew up playing scrabble all wrong, and when we played stock ticker, dividends were payable below the line.D&D was the perfect extension of all that. This nonsense culminated in the TV movie “Mazes and Monsters,” in which Tom Hanks (my god he was young) believes he’s accidentally killed someone as a result of playing the game. Eventually the number of people playing divided by the games available made it hard to find people to play the system you might have favored.As the 80s continued, the competition got into the extreme. One way of finding players was the convention: bring three or four hundred players together at a fee and stage tournaments, provide guests and allow players to meet each other.In order for a tournament to work, its necessary that hundreds of people agree upon the rules—which had the effect of taking a fluid game and transforming it into one carved in stone. at the convention, I played ‘traditional’ D&D, but among my companions we played our own variations. And this was fine, though it had the effect of always making it difficult to initiate a new player, while many of the younger players who did not remember a time before conventions were simply unable to think out of the box.But there developed one other problem that largely killed the game.Fundamentally, the game’s structure is kill monster, get rewarded with treasure and improve. Most who have played for a time begin to realize that ‘hack and slash’ D&D becomes dull after the 500th combat, and search out new variations.There are two basic ways to create variation in the game. The original books emphasized this—make the world as REAL as possible.Sadly, to do so requires an imagination that simply didn’t exist among players of the game. New weapons, new character classes, new combat rules, new tables for throwing of dice, new dice rules, new monsters, new mass combat rules, new single-combat rules, blah, blah, blah.Every couple of years a new whole SYSTEM for the delivery of combat is printed, forcing everyone to adapt to the new system by buying new books and shelling out cash. And hell, I’m in my 40s now, so there are plenty of players who were born since I first began playing.

-ne Last June I tried to predict how many games the Brewers would win by comparing their BA, OBP, and SLG, along with the pitching staff’s WHIP, to the numbers produced by past Brewer teams. The team ERA is a little high at 4.01, but that is offset somewhat by the staff’s incredible 1.22 WHIP.Below I have listed the numbers for every 90 win team (except ‘92 — their numbers were much worse than the others) in Brewer history.

Friday morning was fine, and I was in a great mood, and feeling productive. But all week I was fine, and actually feeling pretty darn good mid-week, like I was free and the possibilities were endless. (Hopefully I can get them online tomorrow night.)And I’ve also been paranoid that something is going to happen to the cat, and I’m not going to be able to handle it. (I think I’ve been reading a little too much Crazy Aunt Purl…) I had a very sick cat before - the vets couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her, but she had constant diarrhea and couldn’t keep any food down. Amazingly ugly…made mine look great in comparison!But a few hours after they left, I started not feeling so great again. And I fell asleep in front of the TV, which is not something I do often.This morning, I still wasn’t feeling great, and ended up cancelling the plans I had to go hang out with some friends (even though it would have been good for my psyche - I just didn’t feel up to it). So, I made a quick run to the library (not far from home) and store, but spent most of the day curled up with the cat and a book, with the TVLand Good Times marathon going in the background.

Array Lithuania have a similar level of government spending but its flat tax is higher at 33% (The corporate income tax is only 15% however).Latvia’s high growth rate means that in the future, latvians will not feel the need of working in construction sites in Sweden, where unions have not exactly been very welcoming.The error from The Economist quoted by Munkhammar is still a lot closer to the truth than a ridiculous claim from Swedish finance minister Par Nuder about Sweden having the highest growth rate in Europe , when it is more like 16th highest among EU members (Were we to include non-EU members Sweden would fall even further behind) as all 10 new member countries as well as 5 of the old ( Ireland, Greece, Spain, Luxembourg and Denmark) have higher growth.

In the months and weeks leading up to the event, those visitors who were lucky enough to find LiquidSculpture were among a select few internet travelers to come across this pioneering work.In August and through most of September, Martin’s site averaged around 30 visits per day. Regardless, it is definitely true that BoingBoing is not completely accurately measuring their readership (they don’t know if I read an article or not, or visit a link that they reference), nor can sites accurately know how much BoingBoing traffic has been referred to them.Money mattersOf course, Martin does sell his unique art, but he does not have any commerce mechanism directly on his site. I was curious whether BoingBoing readers were more or less likely to visit the ordering page, so I ran a report to breakdown visits to the ordering page by initial referrer to the site. As you can see, even though BoingBoing readers directly accounted for 22% of the visits to the site (from the stats above), they accounted for 30% of the visits to the ordering page. MetaFilter visitors and Digg visitors were less likely to visit the ordering page based on overall visits from those sites.What about the browser war?And the browser of choice for all of these fabulous new visitors? I’ve been pondering why the number of Firefox visits is so much higher than what BoingBoing sees, but their stats are showing hits and I’m using visits, so it’s obviously not a perfect comparison.

So, I’m sitting here in the lab simultaneously updating my lab notebook, doing a literature search, and trying to organize my day when I decide to check my email for the tenth time since I sat down. The youve got mail” alert had popped at the bottom of my screen and my excitement was quickly diminished when I realized that it was a weekly newsletter email from the medical school. The newsletter is normally boring, but I read it every week anyway in case anything turns out to actually apply to me. Well, nothing really applied to me this morning but I did get a big kick out of the last blurb. The headline read, “Dr. Derek ‘McDreamy’ Shepherd and Dr. Preston Burke Dismissed from University Hospital.” The snippet highlighted the fact that romantic and sexual relationships between students and those who supervise them are inappropriate and punishable. Basically, Meredith can date the Vet but not McDreamy. Im glad the university cleared that up.

sometimes during the vinyasa between poses i just step back into down dog if its too much for that day.they say to keep your feet hip width apart when you fold forward but at some point in the game it no longer works. it’s been interesting to explore how to work the poses and get some kind of sensation when you back off this much.the past two weeks i’ve lost a few poses mostly on the end of the primary series. some were just impossible and others caused too much discomfort/breathing issues.basically in the primary series i do everything up to navasana and then omit the following poses:bhujapidasanasupta konasanaubahaya padangusthasanaurdhva mukha paschimottanasanasetu bandhasanathe reason i omit supta k, ubahaya and urdhva mukha is that i can’t roll back on my back, grab my feet and then roll up. same happens in purvottanasana but i modify the pose by bending my legs and all is well.i do add one pose. sometimes i can keep my feet down without too much pulling in the low belly but many times i stay up on my toes. again, i was using bolsters for my feet but the Man suggested using the wall and it is much better. once the baby drops and the head engages however, i think it will be time to stop inversions except for feet up the wall stuff.

The constant patter of leaves falling from the trees makes a pleasant sound that doesn’t disturb the peacefulness at all.

Paul Horsley reviewed the concert (Taxpayers to Library of Congress: We are the world, November 14) for the Kansas City Star, with an opening line that reads like a paid product placement:Tall, charismatic and as square-jawed as the Marlboro man, Thomas Hampson is in many ways an ideal representative of American song.What is even stranger is, after praising the project’s goals and the performance, the main criticism of the selection of songs:This program seemed at once too ambitious and not far-reaching enough. But a nod toward these traditions might make the project seem slightly more reflective of the America that we in fact live in.Hampson went next to give the same recital in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 15, which Wayne Lee Gay reviewed (Baritone gives a vocal tour of the American musical landscape, November 16) for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:The next eclectic set began with African-American composer Henry T.

All the little kids were well behaved (even us bigger kids minded our manners!), and it was just a very good day.Every year on Thanksgiving, people gather ’round all over the US and talk about what they’re thankful for. I’m thankful for her, and even wrote once in one of my very first entries on this blog, that when I grow up and become a real blogger, I want to be Rebecca.As I watched my family today, I had an overwhelming grateful feeling that they were all here. I know, I’ve done it more than a few times and it never accomplishes much of anything, except to make me feel like an ungrateful brat.I’m quite thankful I have fellow believers in my life that encourage me (sometimes daily) to remain in the proper attitude and remain thankful, grateful, and keep praising God no matter what comes. It’s very difficult to dwell in self-pity when you can’t provide something extra for your kids, knowing full well that all we have comes from Him anyway.Every night when I go to bed, I reflect back over my day and make an effort to recall things that I can be thankful for. A much needed asset, for a mom with 5 kids at home.As I looked over the pictures I took of Kev’s birthday today, I can’t help but simply be thankful for each of these kids.

This idea, which the 5th Circuit adopted and called the freezing doctrine, was codified into the Voting Rights Act of 1965.Judge Johnson saw that legislation as even more important than the Civil Rights Act of 1964:It carried some new law with it. But the Voting Rights Act brought the process of voting registration to a uniform style and made it abundantly clear that there were to be no literacy testst and poll taxes and so forth to abridge the right of blacks and poor whites to be a part of the election process. The Voting Rights Act, therefore, was some new law.According to David Garrow, the Voting Rights Act is what made Jimmy Carter’s presidency possible.When Fred Gray argued his case, he used an illustration of the redefined, gerrymandered Tuskegee.
