Here are 2 blogs about "crunchy Cons". the first is serious; the second is satirical.

"serious"

"satirical"

Just to keep things "fair and balanced" here is the puff piece on 'Nova that appeared The Paper of Record today.

""'Nova wins; Ho Hum""

All you Syracuse alumni--you know who you are--should be aware of the recent exciting developments at the Big East tournament in NYC. I beleive that Georgetown is the next victim, tonite. "Nova is in the other bracket, so I don't think 'Cuse and 'nova will meet until the final, but I could be wrong. Anyway, here is the article from the NYT. I will try to post the articcle about Nova in a few minutes.

I applaud Jim for taking the time to add songs and audio files to the site. But, I do not believe that these audio files should be made available to the public (especially for download). Accordingly, I have removed them from listing on the front page and redesignated them for family only (as opposed to the public). If you are logged in, you can still find them under "audio files." As a practical matter, this means that anyone surfiing the web will not see the songs and will not be able to download them.

Tommy competed in his first weightlifting tournament last Saturday at Ballston Spa and squatted carrying 325 lbs. Way to go Tommy!

Because I know a couple of dedicated teachers, these articles always pique my interest. I put them here for those teachers who are too busy to surf the appropriate sources. Just another service I am happy to provide. No need to thank me.

""Blame the student"

The last link did not link; lets try that again.
"Saddam"

Another thought provoking article from those rapscallions at the WSJ editorial page.

"Saddam/Hitler"

Last weekend was beautiful in the Adirondacks. On Friday we snowshoed from Route 3, west of Saranac, to Stoney Creek Pond. Talked to some ice fishermen. One was from Mineville and knew some of susan's relatives. The next day under a beautiful clear blue sky we skiied from the same parking pullout down the road to Upper Saranac Lake and out to Chapel Island. It's a nice little log style church where services are held in the summer.
This mile stretch of land, from SCP to USL was a very importrant Indian settlement and intersection. One of the Algonquin or Iroquois tribes lived there every summer. Think of the easy communication they had by waterways. They could go south by way of the racket r. through long lake and connecting through the fulton chain of lakes right down to the Mohawk valley then west on the mohawk towards the finger lakes and Niagara. They could go west and north along the racket through Tupper lake and beyond to the St Lawrence in the Alexandria Bay area. They could go east through the saranacs to lake champlain and then north to the St. Lawrence or south through champlain to the Hudson with access all the way to Manhatten. Travelling by water was the only easy mode of communication. Many indian artifacts have been found in this area near Corey's but we haven't found any despite looking.
