...slight improvement of the cod stock, because of the growing number of young cod. But full recovery of the stock needs time and it is not by allowing fishermen to take more young fish, through higher quotas, that the situation will improve. In fact, with juvenile fish being caught, in few years the situation will just be worse...
...since its season opener, when it surrendered 89 points to James Madison in a 16-point loss. “Our defensive breakdowns were inexplicable,” coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “They don’t have a very complicated system; we just got caught watching the ball. This was a complete surprise to me—I never expected this from this team.”For starters, the Crimson couldn’t stop Catamounts guard Amy Rosenkrantz, who scored a game-high 22 points on torrid 8-for-11 shooting.

What exactly are black values vs. white values? What white shame does he believe binds my actions? He stated that "racist societies make race into a hard fate," yet he perpetuated racist beliefs in his article. Each individual is a cornucopia of various physical and behavioral traits. No single trait, most certainly not the pigment in one's skin, remotely defines any of us. If we want to end racism...
