I'm in twin cities area, and my video is stuttering. I'm using a new computer with no other programs running except some minor background stuff... tested speed at over 40Mbps. Dropped resolution to see if it would help and no dice... Still stuttering. I stream all the time with no problems...

Personally, I couldn't get it to load at all. I would select the ND game and... nothing

I believe that local newspapers probably had a large influence. In my case, the McKenzie County Farmer's Editor was on board with a "yes" vote and Omdahl also had a article printed. Both of these explained the measures rationally and probably help push the result toward yes.

I don't know why people would think there is a difference from east to west. I grew up there (McKenzie) and there wasn't much difference except that maybe people are a little less attached to both the major universities.

The fact that the world has warmed isn't in dispute. What is in question is how much of the warming is attributable to human-based emissions. The study indicates that the globe is giving off heat at a rate greater than what they are currently using in their models. This would indicate that their models would then be overstating the projected temperature increase over the next century. Additionally, this would lesson the multipliers for "warming feedback" and so on and would force them to revisit climate models entirely.

wxman... You had a decent post, but as a "skeptic" I have a bit of a problem with people who hold the warming position. It primarily has to do with the poor rhetoric and catastrophic scenarios that the "warming" side put forward which has so many on this board upset. The fact is that solutions that have been put forward (carbon tax, cap-and-trade, etc.) provide a nearly negligible impact while enacting a serious economic burden. The fact is that I haven't been sold on the fact that a warmer world is worse than a cooler one. Clearly, we want to have clean energy technology, but CO2 is far from a pollutant; especially compared to most industrial gasses which for the most part have been tremendously reduced over the past several decades. I was happy to see that you are at least willing to talk about ocean cycles and solar irradiance, but you're totally downplaying solar irradiance's effect. Recorded data over the last 400 years has had solar irradiance at it's highest until this last decade. Actually, this cycle has been surprisingly inactive compared to the previous cycles. Also, do you have a source for the 40%+ number? One problem that I always have with this argument is that increased temperatures will cause CO2 to be released from oceans/streams/lakes. How much of the increase in CO2 is simply due to an increased temperature? I know that this is one of the proposed feedback loops, but if solar irradiance, ocean cycles, or something else is primarily responsible this greatly would downplay the anthropogenic argument.

I wound up with 2 extra tickets for Thursday that were bought above face value Club Level Sec 35 Row 4 Please email mflatland at yahoo or PM me for pricing or other questions.

Game over on a UND interception as the last play 30-24 UND wins I really don't understand how this team is so up and down game to game.

30-24 UND with a couple seconds remaining SOU driving

there was a request for the score earlier so I figured I'd keep the update here too

27-24 UND Early in the 4th

End of 3rd 27-17 UND

17-17 Sioux get extremely lucky to end up at the half tied.

17-10 then SOU fumbles, Sioux recover down at the SOU 3 yrd line

17-3 SOU
