After a 108-14 thrashing by North Dakota State, fans are wondering...really...about the loser's stand on homosexuality? Really?
My take is simpler; North Dakota State is a Division 1 school, and Oak Hills is a Bible college with an enrollment of 100 students. Who on earth thought that this was going to be a good game? I realize that there is a perceived need to play something like 30 games each season, and you've got to line up some patsies if you want to get to the NIT or NCAA tournament, but seriously? Does no one at NDSU have a conscience and realize that playing kids off the JV teams at their high schools is a great way of getting people hurt?
In other brillance, people are putting charging coils into roadbeds with the goal of charging electric golf carts cars. Now as an electrical engineer who used to belong to the IEEE, I remember that some IEEE societies have annual issues on the state of science regarding low level electromagnetic fields, especially those from cell phones and power transmission lines. So I'm not exactly sure why anyone thinks this is a good idea; I am personally a skeptic about the likelihood of cancers being induced by low level non-ionizing radiation, but it just seems to be begging for trouble to do this.
