I soothe it by repeating "with age comes wisdom" over and over.

I rattled those off to point out that Wimmer and the mayor have differing agendas from Williams (and the HPR, see first post disclaimer). You should. GF spends a lot of time worrying about the future of GFAFB and just recently figured out they need to look at water (30 to 50 years out) like Fargo just started to under the former mayor. And you learn many cool pieces of information reading Alerus commission minutes. Bismarck city politics right now is not the main spotlight right now (as it seems to turn when everyone focuses on the Capital). The widening of Washington on the north side (from Main to Divide) is as contentious as ever and will come up again very soon as more folks build north. Some say that road needs to be widened all the way from Main north to Highway 1804. Bismarck versus townships/county land annexation conversations out there are warm, but not as warm as Fargo had with Horace and West Fargo. (Presets on my AM radio are KFYR 550, KFGO 790, and KNOX 1310, but you could probably guess that now.) But none of that changes that John Q. Paulson and Dr. Joe Chapman were involved in another situation that smells of open meeting violation.

The other thing that same article said was one win and they are guaranteed. I like math and all, but I like a sure thing more. Control what's yours to control. Win.

My beef is with people who appear to look down their noses at open meetings laws as well. As far as Williams, his view on issues I learned by listening to the regional radio news (KFGO) when I'm driving and reading the newspapers. Would you like to know Coates' pet projects? Wimmer's? The mayor's? Go back to the post that started this. I knew the HPR (Strand's) agenda too. I try to stay informed about regional governments and what they are doing because I'm a North Dakotan and taxpayer first*. Then a Sioux fan. I don't know Williams and never have met him. I can't even say I've voted for him. I don't have a dog in this fight, but yet I do: Sunshine, and ND's open meeting law. * Re-read first sentence here.

He's not my boy; he's Fargo's. The people there elected him. But, if I were to "lobby" people about possibly illegal quarums (that should have been noticed as public meetings), those people would be in Bismarck (think: Governor or Attorney General), not Fargo. Shouldn't the folks in Bismarck be asking why two folks investigated in summer of 2006 for possible open meetings violations, one of them being the ND State Board of Higher Education president, find themselves in the mix of possibly another just months later? and shady, questionably legal meetings? If it involves Fargo tax dollars, he should. He is on the city commission.

D'oh!

(insert snide National Hockey Center comment here)

Just how close are Tech and Wisconsin? Team KRACH Record SOS 12. Michigan Tech 67.2380 18-16-5 60.6782 13. Wisconsin 66.8170 17-17-4 66.8170[/code] Or how about: [code]Team Win % RPI PWR KRACH 12. Michigan Tech 25 17 15 12 13. Wisconsin 29 18 20 13 Run those KRACH numbers out head-to-head and Tech wins 50.157% of the time to Wisconsin's 49.843%.

I thought he was talking about the guy that used to hang out with Tommy Chong.

UConn MBB and WBB won titles the same season. Wisconsin MH and WH won titles the same season (2006). Minnesota hockey and wrestling and WBB? Iowa basketball and wrestling? UCLA 2006 mens soccer (#2) and womens volleyball (#3)? Did they play FB last fall?

You're getting warmer ....

On average, yes.

The U of Florida is a football school. It's the first love of those fans. But does this sentence make sense? "This is why Florida will NEVER amount to anything in basketball." Florida: 2006 NCAA DI Mens Basketball Champions.

So a city commissioner having ideas that maybe Fargo needs an arts center, or sewer and water improvements, or to improve low-income housing in the city, instead of another arena/basketball venue, is "flies" in someone's "ointment"? Please define "someone" and their desired "ointment". Williams is an elected commissioner. He is duly sworn to define the Fargo "ointment" to the best of his views and abilities. However, given the attendees of that meeting, and where it was held (NDSU president's office), it gives the distinct impression that someone else, possibly an unelected set of officials, are defining and prescribing the "ointment" (that would best suit their purposes) for Fargo. Hold that meeting in the sunshine and there's not much anyone, even Williams, can say. Do it this way and it's wide open to skepticism and cynicism.

"Quarum" is defined as a minimum number to do business. In this case a quarum is more than half of the members of a board. Fargo city commission is five persons; three makes a quarum. Coates, Wimmer, or Mr. Mayor should have left the room. It would have solved the open meeting problem.

Let's go talk Sac St. on your board instead.

With those two teams playing (UW and MTU), when Hak says "it will be a one-goal or two-goal game" does he mean score differential, ... or total goals.
