Monday, May 26: I went out of town over Memorial Day weekend, and while I was away I saw many proms going on. Seeing the pretty dresses and the limousines made me feel excited about my own prom the next weekend, and during the car ride home I couldn’t help but think of the upcoming festivities and the excitement that would be shared by all in the following week.
Tuesday, May 27: Getting back to school after the long weekend ensured that the hallways of Langley would be filled with decorations advertising the theme of Midnight Masquerade for the prom. Posters with masks on them lined the hallways and even a few people talked of wearing masks to the dance. While my group arrangements were already in place, I didn’t have a date yet. However, on Tuesday I was asked by someone already in my group, so all of the arrangements remained the same.
Wednesday, May 28: Everything for Saturday was seemingly in place, but I soon found out that our dinner reservations had changed. We were originally going to the Clyde’s in Georgetown, but when we added one more member to our group, they no longer allowed us to keep our reservation there. Then several other restaurants entered our discussions of possible dinner places, but we finally decided on the newest Clyde’s in Ashburn called Willow Creek Farm.
Thursday, May 29: Prom mania seemed to sweep the halls of Langley. Seemingly all people were capable of talking about was the dance. Last minute decisions were being made about limousine reservations, dinner plans were changing rapidly, and nearly every girl was discussing dress colors. It was very interesting seeing kids scrambling around trying to find dates or groups to be in; the limousine reservations seemed to be the deciding factor of how many people could be included. Teachers even went so far as to suggest dates for guys trying to find one at the last minute.

The Telegraph-Journal has learned that at today's annual general meeting in Fredericton, everything from the participation status of one it schools in the southern conference to the overall structure of leagues and the organization of the governing body itself will be discussed and voted on.
Of particular significance is the fate of sports teams at Rothesay Netherwood School.
Today, the NBIAA membership will vote on a motion that calls for all teams at RNS to be ineligible for provincial high school championships because the school is able to attract students from outside its traditional geographic zones, a supposed advantage over other schools.
And while all the school's teams are included in the motion, it seems directly targeted at the RNS hockey program, where the boys squad has won the past two AA titles and rolled over most of its regular competition.
In fact, in seven playoff games this year, they outscored their opposition 56-10.
But Paul Kitchen, the head of school at RNS, says officials with the program, after winning the AA title in 2006-07, requested a move to the AAA ranks. After that request was denied, they asked to become a team that played an exhibition loop.
They were denied again.
“We were really in a no-win situation,” said Kitchen. “We certainly weren't helped with the NBIAA not allowing us to play exhibition as we requested and we were not helped by not allowing us to be a AAA team, which would have been appropriate for our level of team this year.”
Kitchen says because RNS is a school that boards students, that by definition the students have to come from outside the area. He added the school does not want to play teams that it is too strong for and wants a competitive environment.
“I can't believe it is going to be passed,” he said of the motion. “I am hoping it won't. I can't believe it is the right thing, I can't believe it is the moral thing. Sometimes, people who don't understand situations, sometimes make erroneous conclusions.

Everybody’s favorite fillibusterin’ Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has been delaying the bill, but it looks like it’s about to shake loose. Coburn says he was worried about a new lawsuit boom as people with genetic conditions sued employers, insurers, or any body who looked at them cross-eyed. Some additional legal protections for employers have been added to the bill in the form of a "firewall" between insurer and employer sections of the bill, so it will mostly affect people looking to get individual health insurance plans.
We’re bound to see more debate in this area as the science improves and the price of genetic testing comes down–this particular legislation took 13 years to make it through Congress. On one hand, people are afraid to do (potentially lifesaving) genetic tests right now because they’re worried about future insurabiity–surely a suboptimal state of affairs. On the other hand, employers will discriminate on certain conditions, no matter what the law says, and in many cases, they ought to be able to. Why should we demand, for example, that a company invest in training an employee that it knows will likely to be out of commission due to illness in the near future?
And then there’s this slippery slope:
[The bill] does not prohibit discrimination once someone already has a disease, and some experts said such protection would have to be the next step.
“You don’t want to be denied health insurance when you are at risk for breast cancer,” said Sonia M. Suter, an associate professor at George Washington University Law School. “But it seems to me you really don’t want to be denied health insurance when you have breast cancer.”

Strange. I had this exact conversation with my doctor about the possibility of testing for a degenerative disease that is at least partially hereditary which I may be prone to. His point was threefold. 1) The test only determines susceptibility, not whether I’ll get it, 2) No cure or effective treatment exists yet, so if I get it I’m screwed no matter what and 3) Kiss my chances of future insurance coverage goodbye if it comes back positive. His recommendation was avoid the test and deal with it if it arises. There’s literally no benefit and some downsides to the test.

Waco, Texas – Sophomore running back Jay Finley rushed eight times for 73 yards and two touchdowns to highlight Baylor’s 111-play scrimmage to end spring practice Saturday afternoon at Floyd Casey Stadium.
“First of all, we didn’t get anyone injured; that was our number one goal,” said Baylor head football coach Art Briles. “We played with a pretty good pace and tempo which is something that we want to be known as; a tempo-tough football team.
“From the standpoint of what we’re looking for, we’re there,” he added. “It’ss like I told them, this journey is not over, it just started. We’ll have 29 workouts before we play Wake Forest and we just finished 15. We should see vast improvement and we will.”
Finley, the Bears’ leading returning rusher, scored on runs of 5 and 4 yards while averaging 9.1 yards per carry. Five of his eight carries on the day went for 10 or more yards and he caught one pass for 5 yards.
Senior Jacoby Jones carried a scrimmage-high 12 times for 53 yards as the Bears’ ground game generated 207 yards on 61 carries for the scrimmage.
True freshman quarterback Robert Griffin also impressed in his first spring game as a Baylor Bear, completing 5-of-9 passes for 66 yards and rushing five times for 30 yards. Griffin graduated from Copperas Cove (Texas) High School last December and enrolled at Baylor in January 2008 in order to go through spring ball and compete for the Bears’ starting job as a rookie.
Senior Kirby Freeman, a transfer from Miami, Fla., who has one season of eligibility remaining, and junior Blake Szymanski, who has 12 career starts under his belt at Baylor, also had impressive moments under center Saturday. Freeman, who took the first series of the scrimmage, completed 7-of-13 passes for 75 yards with one interception and no touchdowns.

CHICAGO - Voices for peace, justice, impeachment, and freedom gathered for a permitted march from downtown Chicago to a park on the outskirts of downtown. The march dissipated at the end of the march, but those voices which had gathered refused to end their night there.
The permitted march was planned by the M20 Coalition in Chicago. For two months (at least), meetings were held and groups like 8th Day Center for Justice; Albany Park, North Park, Mayfair Neighbors for Peace and Justice; American Friends Service Committee / Truth in Military Recruitment; American Muslims For Palestine; ANSWER Chicago; Arab American Action Network; Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War; Chicago Area CodePINK; Chicago Coalition Against War and Racism, Chicago Labor Against the War; Chicago Media Action, Chicago No War On Iran Coalition; Chicago Progressive Alliance, Chicago World Cant Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!, Cook County Green Party, National Lawyers Guild - Chicago Chapter, Neighbors for Peace; Nicaragua Solidarity Network, North Shore Coalition for Peace and Justice, South Siders for Peace, UIC Students for a Democratic Society; Voices for Creative Non-Violence, and Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ (and more who were not normally present at the regular meetings to plan March 19th but who were endorsers).
A rally featuring Kathy Kelly, IVAW members (a few who were present at Winter Soldier), Morton West students, a member of the Mexican Solidarity Network and more was held as people gathered on the Federal Plaza. The rally lasted one hour and then people took off down the street to make their voices heard.
The march headed west of the Loop and then wound back towards Michigan Ave. The marchers headed north to an end that is accurately described by OB Rag like this:
CHICAGO - March 19, 2008 - Police officers, in riot gear and on horses, were ready. The protesters seemed ready to take a stand.They numbered in the thousands. The Bench does not have an official estimate, but a guess is well over 10,000 people marched north along Michigan Avenue. They started with a rally and speeches at 5:00 p.m., then walked from Dearborn and Monroe to Walton and Dearborn. It was loud, boisterous and peaceful. But the ending was a cliff hanger. It looked like a riot might break out, and the Chicago Police were not backing down.

Funeral services for Ted Kjolhede, who died Saturday at age 84, are pending at Clark Funeral Chapel in Mt. Pleasant.
Dave Keilitz, who became athletic director at CMU following Kjolhede’s retirement in 1984, said Kjolhede led an outstanding, giving life and, more importantly, was a man who contributed much to the university and the Mt. Pleasant community.
“He will be greatly missed,” Keilitz said. “He never sought the spotlight.
“He did things because it was the right thing to do.”
Keilitz, who retired from CMU in 1994 and is currently the executive director of the American Baseball Coaches Association, met Kjolhede while he was a student and athlete at CMU.
After Keilitz graduated, he hired on at CMU and coached the baseball team while Kjolhede was athletic director.
Kjolhede’s contributions “led to the betterment of everything he touched,” Keilitz said.
Keilitz last saw Kjolhede at a CMU basketball game about three weeks ago, where the former colleagues visited.
“He was just an outstanding person,” Keilitz said. “He did lead an outstanding life and a life of significance.”
Kjolhede was inducted into the first Mid American Conference Hall of Fame in 1988 for his efforts as an athlete, coach and athletic director.
He was named to the CMU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1983.
Kjolhede was an athlete as an undergraduate at CMU and was the men’s basketball coach from 1956 to 1972, and was athletic director from 1973 until his retirement.
During his years as a student at CMU, Kjolhede, who graduated from Grant High School, earned three letters in basketball and two each in football and tennis.
He was named most valuable player on the 1948 basketball team, which posted a 17-3 record that season.
Following his career as a student at CMU, Kjolhede had coached at Grand Haven and Battle Creek Central high schools before returning in 1956 and coaching basketball for 15 seasons, according to CMU’s sports information Web site, www.cmuchippewas.com.
Kjolhede’s 1956 team at Battle Creek Central took the state title.
Kjolhede was named coach of the year by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for the 1965-66 season with a 23-6 record.
Kjolhede supported charitable organizations and was a diehard Chippewa fan.
He and his wife, Ginger, welcomed CMU President Michael Rao and his family when Rao succeeded former President Leonard Plachta in 2000.
“Ted and Ginger were among the initial group of people who welcomed Monica, Miguel and me to Central Michigan University,” Rao said Sunday. “Ted stood out because of the warmth he demonstrated when he embraced us, and over the years, he continued to be a cherished supporter and friend.
“He is truly one of CMUs pioneers, who built much of the foundation we continue to build on today. Ted was CMU through and through.”
