-Good for Barack Obama for saying this (via tpm):
"My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants. She is a fierce and formidable opponent, and she obviously believes she would make the best nominee and the best president."-March Madness: the Louisville game was competitive last night. What a nice break. Two #1 seeds heading to the final four; expect the other two later today. Out of a hat, Wilma picked both UCLA and North Carolina. Pretty good draw on her part.
-Lorena Ochoa is at the top of the leaderboard at Superstition Mountain, again... Good for her.
-College class times: Indy Star has a story that colleges and universities are in a quandry about having to start scheduling Friday and early morning classes. Students have long avoided such classes for a variety of reasons but the non availability of classrooms may be changing that. I remember back in the '90's when I was up at IU there was much fun when the ideal schedule was discussed: classes starting on Tuesday (and not too early) and being over by Thursday evening, thus leaving the Friday through Monday period for important things like parties and parties and then maybe a few more parties - or to catch up on sleep. Way back in the '50's, prehistoric times to be sure, students groused and grumbled about Saturday morning classes and especially before those hugh Saturday afternoon clashes of titans - the Irish football team up against the boys from Lancing or Ann Arbor or Southern California. Times have changed though I would suggest that if one is going to spend $100000 or so on a college education that they get the most for their money by taking classes 24/7 if they can.
