I would never have anything else. For a little under $300.00 I can play new games I can never play on my PC now. A decent sound card and vid card would be way more. I have all of the older game emulators and ROMs I could ever want including MAME and the kids have their new stuff. Add to that a region-free DVD player and the ability to stream media from my network... I'm sorry I ever said a bad word about the xbox. But, like most M$ products, it's not so great until you tweak it the way you want it."

The Economically Efficient NBA Team | HOOPSWORLD.com | NBA News and Information: "In theory, above-max players and players on rookie contracts are the only players in the league that should be underpaid. Everyone else should be bid up to market in free agency. Quite obviously, that's not realistic. Players are overpaid or underpaid for any number of reasons. Injuries are a huge one. Not developing the way they were expected to, whether breaking out, busting, aging early, or displaying surprising longevity. Sometimes the market -- or one team, since that's all that is necessary to create market value -- is just wrong. "

College Student Journal: Religiosity and depression in intercollegiate athletes: "The present study examined the relationship between organizational, non-organizational, and intrinsic religiosity, and symptoms of depression in intercollegiate athletes. The Duke Religion Index and the Depression subscale of the Personality Assessment Inventory were completed by 105 athletes. Results showed that only intrinsic religiosity was negatively associated with affective symptoms of depression. Implications of these findings on the potential protective effects of religiosity against affective symptoms of depression are discussed."

SALT LAKE CITY -- Doctors here have for years talked about the widespread use of antidepressants in the state. But there was no hard evidence until a national study that tracked drug prescriptions came to an unexpected conclusion:



Antidepressant drugs are prescribed in Utah more often than in any other state, at a rate nearly twice the national average. "

Zito didn't pick the wrong sport, as he'll be making up for lost salary time when he hits the free-agent market in a couple of years, but, for the time being, his loss is the A's gain. "

Hi,



I currently administer two networked classrooms for the English

department, located in LA 27 and LA 29.  It was brought to my

attention that at some point these rooms were mistakenly classified as

"open labs" which led to the decision to not install touchpads to

control the already installed audiovisual equipment.  Unfortunately,

these rooms are used for almost 12 hours a day to teach writing

courses, but the instructors can't use the equipment because the rooms

were left incomplete.  In essence, they are broken.



I'm writing to determine if there is a mechanism in place to have

these classrooms institutionally defined as classrooms, and if there

is a source of funding available to repair these rooms.



thanks for your suggestions,
