    Yes, China has historically been very bad and the US started to make strong inroads in moving away from Hydrocarbons. But China has made a commitment to change i.e. electric vehicles, solar, wind etc. while the US under Trump has begun to abandon many programs in favor of the oil companies and coal. Many US companies are not following in line with that and continue to work on reducing emissions and renewable energy.  Unfortunately the administration isn't in that camp. Sorry, I guess this is political.

     

    I used to travel to Beijing for work once a year 10-20 years ago.  The smog was incredible if the wind was low.  Beijing has some geographical traits that cause the pollution from surrounding areas to settle and concentrate there. 

    We tracked the air quality index (AQI) closely out of curiosity and avoided spending time outside when it was bad.  We used the index put out by the US Embassy (which was close to our hotel) because the Chinese rating was often understated.  At times we couldn't see across the street it was so bad and could taste it too.  I was there a couple of times where the rate was off the chart bad.  Yuck.

    Beijing had rules on when you could drive your car based on last digit of license plate.  The higher up people in our company had two cars so they could drive every day.  Also people picked their own plate numbers so most ca plates ended in lucky numbers.  On days those cars we off the street it made a bigger difference. 

    I'm reading that China's CO2 emissions have been flat or slightly falling since March 2024.    I'd be curious to go back and see if anything has changed in the polution levels in Beijing.

    A bit harsh, but she did roll WAY more than I liked. I love the notion that fortune favors the brave, I think there is something to it.

    I hope it's a great move for both her and UND. 

    He didn’t really mean ‘we didn’t want her’.  It’s just standard schtick when a recruit turns us down or someone leaves.

    Britta Curl now has 4 one game suspensions going back to last year. Just served number 4 last night in their 1-0 loss to Montreal 

    Saw comparison to Brad Marchand.  He leads NHL all time with 8 career suspensions (28 games lost) in over 1330 games.  

    Curl has 4 suspensions in about 62 games.

    I believe Mia is Nick Jacobson daughter and Adam Jacobson niece. Cousins to Ben Jacobson. 
     

    Adam just resigned at Gunnison in Colorado, so I would look for him to be an assistant at UND possibly in the near future. 
     

    Nick played at Utah for Rick Majerus years ago. Good player! 
     

     

    You are correct again.

    I guess its could be worse....we could be the Mets....

    The pitching matchup tonight and the lineups should've meant a Mets victory.  

    Twins win and Kendry Rojas tomorrow....

    Those Mets fans sure are good at booing loudly.

    up until a year ago only power 5 schools scholarship  was gauranteed for 4 years meaning if you were asked to leave the team based on performance or playing time or any reason non disciplinary you could stay at the school under scholarship and they had to honor it, when rev share was implemented that rule was extended for all d1 basketball teams, so yes its very possible staying enrolled at UND under scholarship not on team!!! im surprised it doesn't happen more often but most poeple wanna play, so to answer your question yes her scholarship is protected as is every player's on the team that doesn't transfer

    Thanks for the info.   I had no idea.

    not with the team just staying to keep her scholarship

    It's been a long time since I was in school so a lot has changed. 

    I assumed you kept your scholarship through the end of the semester even if you entered the portal.  Is her scholarship protected beyond that if she isn't with the team? Or are you referring to other scholarships beyond basketball?

    Good insight before Saturday’s Spring Showcase!

     

    They didn’t mention Chuck Langama in the article.  I really think he’ll have a breakout year.

  10. Nice Strib article on Gutzmer.  It is probably behind a paywall but it says Feeney and Gutzmer top 2 QBs on their class in MN and #7 and #9 overall in the state. 

    I know the Minnetonka coaches would be biased toward their guy but they thought he compared favorably with Feeney.

    My guess is Gutzmer.

    Why? 360 did a retweet a few days ago, found it interesting at the time. Some heat coming from his following / followers. We’ll see. Talk about offers.

    That would be great.  He's very talented.  Had a leg injury last year so missed a number of weeks and wasn't at full strength for the playoffs.

    He has offer from Miami (Florida).  A couple of months ago I mentioned to someone on Minnetonka staff that UND probably out of the mix because of that but he said 'not necessarily.'  Gutzmer really liked Schmitty and Danny.

    And we are getting drilled in KC with our best pitcher on the mound.

    I'd say 100 losses is well within the realm of possibility. 

    I was at the game in KC tonight.  Left early cuz of little grandkids but was miserable with the rain, cold and bad baseball. 

  13. Reusse was on Michael Rand podcast this morning talking about the crazy NIL situation.  Said he talked with Uelmen after he helped us beat St Thomas in tourney.  Uelmen said he loved UND and Sather gave him a chance .......  Not long after he was in the portal.  

    Reusse then said he talked to Sather at a coaches function at start of NCAA tourney.   He asked Sather about losing Uelmen and Sather said something like "I have no idea who I'll have next year at this point.  Almost all of my team is in the portal."
