Congratulations to Coach Steen on the great career. It’s the end of an era for small college swimming.

*Steen took sabbatical during 2 of those titles.

An Open Letter to NHL Owners From a Hockey Parent | Wired.com
There’s really not much more to add. A sport like hockey can stand on its own. Fighting devalues a beautiful game.
“While the transparency of the Department of Player Safety started out refreshing, it has devolved into an outright sham. When players see nasty penalties being committed without repercussion, they take matters into their own hands, as was the case in Philadelphia the other night. When players can act like goons of the past without fearing any real repercussions, it only encourages more violence.”

Thoughts on Trayvon Martin
It’s troubling that people are still so willing to accept the most sensationalist version of an event that gets play on the news. We went through this in 1999 with Amadou Diallo. Tragic death, murky circumstances, but ultimately unclear motives.
The crusaders fighting for civil rights implore us to see the good in others without predjudice. However, they are the same people who are quick to crucify the accused without any effort to fully understand the circumstances and the whole story.
It sets us all back. If we want to get past race dividing us, it cannot be used as an easy crutch when a tradgedy occurs. Race is still an issue, but it’s rarely the only issue. Grandstanding creates a divide and doesn’t advance our cause.
