Ya know, if these people put half the effort they put into these worthless initiatives into something more productive, the world would be a much better place. Ah, priorities.

Not just the right coaching, but the right environment. These girls are true citizens as well as superb athletes. They are role models to each other and to their community. This in-turn makes for a tightly-knit team of friends. That all translates onto the court.

Notice the one line in the article that gives us opponents of closing 2nd ave. some hope:

"Council members still must vote two more times on the street closure request, with the final vote slated for spring 2011."

We have a chance, people, to come together and speak out against the closing of yet ANOTHER road leading us into downtown, thereby further choking off the accessibility that we've had for so many years. Begin writing letters to the editor. Call YOUR city council members and let them know of your disapproval. Blog about it or express concern in your Facebook status. If enough of us put our 2 cents in, eventually the pennies will add up. There are enough of us out there that we can make them change their minds so that we can prevent madness similar to that of the new Federal courthouse that happens to be sitting right on the river...hmmm...points to ponder.

Gay/Lesbian rights should NOT be a political issue. However, Bob VP here seems to be holding true to "his" party. Does he really believe in this or is he living up to the expectations set out by the Republican party. If this is the case, then we need to reconsider partisan politics. People should run for office based on their personal opinions regarding each individual issue. One shouldn't be expected to follow a specific checklist when running for office or voting for a specific candidate.

On the other hand, if Bob VP seriously wants gay/lesbian marriage rights stripped away, then perhaps he should pack his bags and move to some place that accepts those that live their lives in hate and bigotry. This is 2010. If you haven't figured out by now that allowing gays to marry does NOT affect your life or your supposed afterlife, then you're living in the wrong place and time, sir. Love thy neighbor...UNLESS THEY'RE NOT LIKE YOU! Not here, Bob. Cause your raucous someplace else. We won't tolerate it here.

Do NOT cancel this program entirely. I only with that other institutions in town would have such a policy. Why, when the Kernels "needed" a new brand identity, did they go to a firm in New York? We have perfectly talented people here in town. The buy-local mentality should be within us all.

So hopefully when Central Corridor Gamers has their formal Games for Troops event this September, they'll actually get some news coverage.

I disagree, Damon. You see what happens when something new opens in this town. EVERYONE flocks to see what it's all about. There's still life out there. It just needed a miracle to resurrect it. Guess we'll all have to sit back and watch it flourish or fail.
