"don't tell me the score" For people who want to see the highlights not knowing what is going to happen or how it ends up. When I clicked through, I picked a game and it took me to a page with the score in 40 point font (along with highlights, stats, etc). Is it just that the scores aren'...

This is a very cool piece on where the best basketball players come from and where they go to college . That's an article I always meant to do on my site, but never got around to it. I always suspected that Virginia both produced an inordinate number of great high school players and also failed to ...

If Texas Instruments buys Ranjidikishar Khan a sweet new Hyundai, and the NCAA finds out about it, does he lose his eligibility to research superconductors? I think this hits it on the head. Grad students in a lot of fields can get stipends from outside, and it does not make them ineligible. Also, ...

I'm thinking it doesn't matter whether you or I find it self-serving. I think it's up to the cancer patient.

I rode them at the bike store and then bought online. Dude. That's pretty evil. I know everyone says that you have to test ride to see how a bike fits, but I have never been able to tell the difference from one bike to another based on a test ride. For me, any bike I get on feels good. It takes sev...

Niiiice. FWIW, I may end up getting run over like Steve, too. I finally bought a road bike again this month, after doing without for three and a half years. And I have to say, it feels awesome to be riding again. But for your bike, I think your best bet would be to go to REI. That closeout does not ...

Laurie Holden sounded a helluva lot smarter than Andrea seems to be.

Anyone? Afterwards, I was left with a sense that the episode was a bit silly. But the scene in the abandoned building was probably one of the scariest scenes I can remember in the whole series.

So is it safe for me to overwrite my "The Swamp" bookmark, and commit to this place?

Thanks, Scottie, for your hard work.

Apparently she could have been tried after she regained her sanity, but Waitkus declined to press charges.

It sounds like she made it the rest of her life without shooting anyone, so this was probably a case where temporary insanity really was responsible.

The frickin' geniuses at University of California, Berkeley, really need to do a study about why the University of California, Berkeley, men's basketball team gets blown out of any tournament, conference or national, in their first game seemingly every single bloody time. They ran into that Utah ju...

He'll be coming here in two weeks, but I'll be out of town.

Anyone willing to help us out?

Thanks.

You can send them to me.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/03/nsl-found-unconstitutional/ I tried to access the Court's ruling through the federal court's file access system (PACER), but it tells me that the "Case is Under Seal." Still, this looks like a big win against the Last-Refuge-of-a-Scoundrel Act. The ...

Red Wings in a division with the Canadiens, Maple Leafs and Bruins? *swoon* Sucks to lose the Hawks/Wings rivalry. Would have liked to see a way to keep more of the original six together. Yeah, but at least they kept the classic Hawks-Winnipeg rivalry. I suppose as a practical matter, I should be g...

Oh, hold on a sec...they just made the NHL unbalanced? It wasn't before? I had just assumed it was. Didn't baseball revamp their entire format to get away from that which the NHL is going to switch into? I think imbalance is a bigger issue with divisions than conferences. The NHL has 30 teams.

Since this has carried to the next day, I’ll jump in as well. Scottie, I think your description of all environmentalism as just another nutjob religion is over the top. Yes, as with any movement, there are some adherents who go overboard and who take some basic feel-good principles and let them guid...
