Greatest sports scandals<\/a> \u2014 and they didn\u2019t mention Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire or Rafael Palmeiro or Brady Anderson. Come to think of it, how did they forget Paul Hornung and Alex Karas?
\nOur prayers are with Minneapolis:
\n $\"bridge.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nThe risks, evidence show, are higher for women than for men if they negotiate for salary increases. (HT: RJS) [My link is not working so if anyone knows the link let me know. MSN page.]
\n Great conversation<\/a> on minimum wage and read those comments. Thanks Bob.
\nNice set of posters<\/a> on the emerging movement.
\nI\u2019m Centrist<\/a>. What are you? (HT: TD)
\nHome of the Cubs \u2026
\n $\"city-eve.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nGood report on smashing stereotypes<\/a> by Tony.
\n1. My great aunt lived in Collinsville, IL, and we used to see the World\u2019s Largest Ketchup Bottle \u2014 now I\u2019m glad they\u2019ve also made the World\u2019s Largest Ketchup Packet<\/a>.
\n2. If you live in a big city like Chicago, here is a good newspaper articl<\/a>e about evaluating teachers. The only way to measure teacher effectiveness is to have good evaluations of students before and after the class year, and assess how much each individual student developed under that teacher\u2019s care. All other evaluations are false objectivity when it comes to teacher \u201ceffectiveness.\u201d
\n3. Emerging Tweel?
\n $\"michelin-tweel.jpg\"$ <\/a> $\"tweel_01102004a.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n4. The last Jews in Baghdad<\/a>.
\n5. \u201c Wary of inexplicable kindness<\/a>\u2026\u201d \u2026 that\u2019s the line that got me.
\n6. Nan Talese fires back at Oprah<\/a>. Talese clarifies something for me \u2014 that for some today, especially in a postmodern worldview, the distinction between fiction and memoir is not all that great.
\n7. Anyone know much about womenpriests among the Roman Catholics<\/a>?
\n8. One of the best compliments a teacher can have is affirmation from a mature student \u2026 and I so enjoyed Sarah Ondrey\u2019s, one of NPU\u2019s finest, review of \u201cour\u201d Mary book<\/a>.
\n9. I agree with Brad\u2019s concerns<\/a> on Piper\u2019s comment.
\nSports:
\nThere are five good reasons to cheer for the Cubs: 1907, Ivy on the Wall, Wrigley, Ernie, and Jack Brickhouse. And now a sixth: 1st place (it\u2019s Thursday morning as I write this).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
