How is it cheaper not to get a membership vote? What kind of expenses are involved in getting a membership vote? Right now they have likely spent over $1M on the UND case. You don't think, if they felt they had the membership votes they would have gone that route. How about since the edict came down? They could have gone to the members after they declared some schools "hostile and abusive" and tried to shore up support with a vote after the fact. It didn't happen.

Okay, we agree that they should have gotten membership approval, so why do you think they did it? They had nothing better to do one day? Maybe next week they will do another PC thing like not allowing schools to keep score, because someone's feeling may get hurt. Okay, so that one is kind of out there, but use your imagination on what other dictatorial thing they can come up with. Requirements on the numbers of women and/or minority coaches...

If it was in the best interest of the membership, why not get membership approval instead of circumventing the members? Instead, they pushed it through the back door.

For some reason I'm thinking a lot of questions will be answered in the next week regarding football promotions for this year, as well as years to come. UND Football Executive Committee strategize future of football program

Alerus Center to charge for parking For those of us who are used to parking to go see an event this is no big deal. I'm sure there will be some that won't like it.

You just paid for your suite at the Canad or the Alerus? If it is the Alerus, can I be your new best friend?

Our pictures of the Blue Angels didn't turn out nearly as well as PCM's, so I'm not going to embarrass myself. I did like the loop picture we got of one of the preliminary acts. Also a picture of the boats piled into the intercoastal to watch the show and one of the boat that we were on to watch. Great time!!

Hey, you can see planes flying by the camera really quick like.

Pensacola is the home of the Blue Angels and they do two shows here annually, one during the summer at the beach and the other during the fall at NAS Pensacola. This weekend is the beach air show. Today they will be practicing and tomorrow is the actual show. With both days expected to be cloudy, I'm assuming that they will be doing the "low show", which means that you may be able to watch parts of it on Pier Cam. It isn't always reliable and sometimes you have to close it and re-open it for it work. I don't know exactly what time practice is, but I'm assuming it will start around noon. Here is link to some pictures from yesterday's practice. My boss has a 38' catamaran, which will be our vantage point tomorrow.

Another development coming to the south side...Homestead Grove. If you ever want to know what is going on in GF, hit this guys website.

After spending a week in GF, I can see that it is not the "shithole" that the guy on Skyscraper makes it out to be. Not that I thought that anyway, but the growth GF has shown in the last 5-10 years has been amazing. I saw a number of new retail shops in the south end, the new hospital in the south end, the Canad and the additions to the campus over the past few years keeps the future at UND looking brighter. What really caught my eye was the downtown area. The Elite Brownstone project is just being completed, adding 27 condos downtown, Opera House Lofts and under construction The Current. I was also impressed with The Greenway. Quite an impressive and huge park. Keep it going GF.

Unfortunate that the HQ will be placed in Little Rock, but somewhat understandable with air travel. Getting into GF just isn't that easy. Perhaps GF could get a research center. It is the perfect place to do research for wind.
