Indians Once Again Challenge Redskins Name Washington Post 12 Aug 06 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6081101045.html

In my opinion, Kona java is overrated... certainly not worth the $18 or so per pound. Coffee is an acquired taste, so I certainly appreciate those who enjoy the bean. When I lived in Hawaii I preferred Kauai Coffee. I toured the plantation a few years back... would do it again in a heartbeat. We serve up Peace in our coffee/bicycle shop in Minneapolis. Pretty good as well.

Does Mr. Pomeroy only accept campaign contributions from current ND residents? http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/sum...p?cid=N00008113 Hmmm... 76.3% PAC dollars http://www.opensecrets.org/states/summary....te=ND&Year=2006 WHERE THE CANDIDATES GOT THEIR MONEY, 2005-2006 (North Dakota delegation) New York $229,165 Distict of Columbia $191,399 California $166,366 North Dakota $127,499 Texas $124,676 Illinois $117,976

Well, maybe the fine voters of North Dakota will need to limit Mr. Pomeroy's authorities in the upcoming election. It's early in the fight... enough correspondence to his office may persuade him to do the right thing. Typical fence sitting, status quo elected official.

The campaign should also include Dorgan and Conrad.... constituents should be demanding that they sponsor/co-sponsor similar legislation.

Press reports suggest Tyler Hirsch replaced Spiewak on the team. The All-Stars lost 10-9 in overtime in an attempt to have their names forever engraved on the coveted Golden Shovel.

The US Pond Hockey Championships are being held this weekend on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis. I noticed one of the teams has a few former Sioux players. Other teams appear to be loaded with former Gophers and/or ex-Pros. The Federal League All-Stars -Tom Bennett (captain) -Pete Armbrust -John Blooston -Matt Henderson -Jeff Sorem -Kevin Spiewak http://www.uspondhockey.com/page/home.jsp

PCM, I noticed the exact same thing when I read through his comments last night... makes you wonder what reasons were involved for its absense. Legality reasons perhaps?

Dear Mr. Brand: In August 2005, the NCAA issued guidelines that prohibited 18 universities from displaying Native American imagery or using mascots and/or nicknames the committee deemed

As a car enthusiast, the Pontiac Aztek offends me. The damn thing is simply hostile and abusive.

Sounds like a textbook inferiority complex?! Score update?

also, i don't know what's more pathetic: the idiot using official letterhead for personal gain, or believing that he didn't do anything wrong. these people would never make it on the outside. kick his rear-end out to the street UI! now, have any of the UND admin/staff done the same?

dump the name. dump the special programs. move forward. continue to teach students irregardless of race, creed, religion, etc.. no special considerations... just simple merit-based education. why not?
