It's basically the same - the one on my website is older but there are very few changes.

I believe most states give it to juniors, so people that fail don't need to stay back.

I play high-level competitive ultimate frisbee, soccer, and volleyball, and I run track as well. My distances are the 400m and 800m, although I have a pretty good 200m time too.

You want black role models? Damon Dash, Russell Simmons, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, WEB DuBois, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, etc.

There aren't many spectacular white role models either - professional athletes, actors, and singers are equal no matter what race they are.

NBA Playoffs in General

The Wizards/Bullets are my favorite team, but my local team, the Nets, are looking better right now.

I'd say college basketball is much more fun to watch than the NBA. Players actually play defense, the games actually mean something, and so much heart and grit is on display. Plus, you see more systems. Four-guard sets and ridiculous zones and presses are not unusual anymore, whereas in the NBA only a handful of coaches would dare to play a zone.

From my personal experience, parents' income has a far greater correlation to doing well in school than race. Having been through high school where racial demographics were 60% black and 35% white, and with a wide range of incomes, etc., it was easy to see that income was a much more influential statistic than race. Students in higher-level and AP classes were almost all from middle- and upper-class homes, with only a few exceptions. Students in low-level and remedial classes were almost all from the poorer areas of town.

But I think that this goes beyond just income as well. The students that are poor but still in high-level classes have parents that encourage and challenge them to perform well. Most have immigrant parents that realize any bettering of the family will come through their childrens' educational success. In low-level classes, parents and students just don't seem to care. The reason spoiled rich kids are going nowhere in life is their parents are not pressing them to excel and they don't want to excel. But comparing a rich kid in low-level classes and a poor kid in low-level classes, the rich kid will still have far more opportunities to redeem himself or herself in the future. Money provides that. There's virtually no margin of error for the poor student, and that's what needs to be addressed.

(I need more paragraph breaks)

Sorry to burst your bubbles and all, but I don't really care that much about these topics. I mean, anything that might have meant something to me in the past were the topics before the last board purge. All the good topics are long gone and no new as good will ever appear because there are new members who invariably are less excellent than original, older members. So it is in fact impossible for anything that magnificent to come about ever again.
Also I suppose I'm too quiet to be noticed. I'm even not sure if I qualify for an oldbie status, even as a ... 'new-ish' oldbie, though. Oh well. My usual reluctance to get involved in community based inside jokes has been reduced too.
But ... less said about all that is better ^^;;

Yes - magical damage is absorbed by Rakshasi and turned into HP. Good old fashioned arrows are probably the best way to bring them down.

Anthony has lived in the same town his entire life and went to college 30 minutes away. Officially he is a computer teacher at an elementary school in the school district he attended for 13 years, but he spends most of his time coaching and playing ultimate frisbee. He coaches the team at the high school he graduated from in 1998 and helps out coaching a good local university team. He also started a coed club team which he will coach and captain. His position in the school district is being cut for the 06-07 school year, leaving him in limbo. He has had three knee surgeries and torn both ACL's. As a result, he is heavier and slower than he was in high school, but his sardonic wit has not suffered. He is incredibly sarcastic and even caustic sometimes.

It was regular Magic damage and it had a cool sound effect.

My personal favorite spell from the Anama was Avatar, though.

Why do I find this statement ironic when we consider your scenario design record? :P

Thralni-

Nephilim may be fast, but they're not that fast! There's a reason that Valorim was the last continent discovered - crossing the Ndovlu mountains is treacherous and takes weeks!
