...with Denver's snippy media, which have long branded the team's primary owners--brothers Dick and Charlie Monfort, of Monfort Beef fame--as dunces. The Rockies were born in 1993 after 30 years of snubs from baseball's pooh-bahs, who were concerned about the metro region's slight population, lousy stadium, capricious weather and high altitude. When baseball finally caved, its reward came swiftly: the Rockies' opening day drew 80,227 to old Mile High Stadium--still the largest single-game turnout in baseball history--and first-year attendance totaled 4.5 million. These were happy days, particularly when...
...differences don't stop there. Studies in the Philippines show that later-born siblings tend to be shorter and weigh less than earlier-borns. (Think the slight advantage the 6-ft. 5-in. [196 cm] Peyton Manning has over the 6-ft. 4-in. [193 cm] Eli doesn't help when he's trying to throw over the outstretched arms of a leaping lineman?) Younger siblings are less likely to be vaccinated than older ones, with last-borns getting immunized sometimes at only half the rate of firstborns. Eldest siblings are also disproportionately represented in high-paying professions. Younger siblings...

In addition, since 2003, the overall crime rate dropped 30 percent, a trend that stands in contrast to most other Ivy league schools—several of which have seen a slight rise in the number of burglaries in recent years, according to those schools’ annual crime reports. The statistics were released as part of an annual campus crime report mandated by the Clery Act, a federal law named for a Lehigh University undergraduate who was raped and murdered...
...them to fundraise among alumni, JV programs remain the only place where non-Varsity athletes can continue to compete at a high-level regardless without having to worry about their finances. That alone makes the ones with at least a modicum of participation worth protecting, even at a slight burden to the Athletics Department. The non-financial requirements of club athletes—finding their own coaches, scheduling their own games, and arranging for facility access, for example—become incredibly, and often prohibitively, demanding. While there are good reasons for a JV team to switch to club status...
