Unlike some major sports leagues, the NBA has few concerns about changing its rules for what it sees as improvements to the quality of the game and the fan experience. The goal is to get closer to perfect, not to preserve an arcane sense of history and consistent, at least in theory. It's a...
I have a friend flying to San Diego, and I asked her if she could get me some tattoo supplies over there. I lve in a small border town in Tx, so it's really hard for me to get that stuff around here. My says she doesn't have a problem bringing me the stuff, as long as it doesn't pose a problem...

Perhaps New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith should have known that his name would be mired in controversy when the Jets took him in the second round -- after all, the Jets are far more adept at collecting headlines than wins lately. But Smith, who is now competing with embattled Mark...
The NCAA men?s basketball rules committee announced a handful of recommended rules changes on Thursday afternoon that must be approved by the rules oversight panel on June 18 before becoming effective for the 2013-14 season. Here's a look at the four most significant proposed changes and their...
Wow—not sure how I missed this yesterday, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has finally approved over-the-counter sales of emergency contraception! Under the new rules, anyone age 15 or above will be able to buy Plan B One-Step or its generic version without hitting a pharmacy counter...
First game tomorrow for school, really nervous. Any tips in general? I don't know which position I'm playing but give some tips for playing defence, midfield or forward. Thx
Two questions
1. If a player goes for a lay up and the opponent blocks it above the cylinder and it's called goal tending, is the shooter awarded 2 points?
2. If a player shoots a jump shot and It's tipped and only goes about halfway to the hoop from the tip, Is this considered a block?
Thanks
So, as some of you may not know, PDA stands for " Public Displays of Affection. " This includes holding hands, kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc. In public.
My school does have PDA rules, but at no time of the year are we told what the boundaries are. In our "student handbook" thing that we get...
with my girlfriend in school? We are in eighth grade and have been together 9 months, but the most common place we can see each other is school, but there's always a teacher nearby and I'm trying to create a romantic moment, but tommorow is my last chance, because she will be across the country...
I'm having a problem with this validation rule for Access:
ServID – limit to A, C, or T. (See last figure on page 1. A for Accounting, C for AIS Consulting, T
for Tax).
Big Ten coaches, which already got called out for being bad at recruiting by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, don't like the new expanded recruiting rules.
And don't think Meyer is laughing at the Big Ten wanting to keep the regulations that protects the coaches' free time and schools' budgets...
I recently was stopped at the gate and told to put my mini suitcase in the gage (yes I had majorly overpacked it creating a hump) and it wouldn't fit. Determined I was getting my luggage on as hand luggage I took out loads of jumpers and wore them, eventually I realised it was just a centimetre...
"well let me assure you that we do not censor this board in anyway."
Not entirely true unfortunately as posts about a very well known scam artist have been removed recently presumably because he's threatened to sue or shut the site down! A "court order" was previously mentioned.
Doubt anyone...
Because everyone has the freaking internet on their phone these days, we've forgotten common decency in how to use them. There is such thing as phone etiquette! And we should all follow such rules. Cartoonist Ted Slampyak created propaganda-style posters that details a few rules on how to use a...
On the opening series of last Sunday night's 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard let up on a play, assuming that quarterback Byron Leftwich was going to run out of bounds. Instead, the slow-footed Leftwich turned up field and rumbled down the sidelines...
...plot holes, and lack any logic? ...and when I try and have a civil conversation about either;
A: Abolishing the rule
B: Fixing it
who ever is in charge throws a temper tantrum because someone who isn't an adult proved them wrong, and did it politely, and even though I did it politely they...
