Newly hired IU head coach Kelvin Sampson was officially slapped on the wrist (a hard slap, but just a slap) for prior recruiting violations while at Oklahoma. He can’t get any bonuses for the next year — none were in his new contract — and he can’t phone any prospects for a year. IU loses [...]
NetSci 2006 - Day 4 (beta)
First and foremost, happy shouts out to Josh and Justin. The former became gainful in a job that will keep him in the Midwest (when not flying about), and the latter is just a super really-cool guy. And oh, he won top honors for the student poster at NetSci 2006. Even more amazing an accomplishment [...]
NetSci 2006 - Day v2.2
After this NetSci 2006 gig, 17 capstones in 11-1/2 hours this Friday is going to be a breeze. Unless there’s math.

Now I can’t write that post I wanted to [...]

Naturally, we spent $18 in food stuffs to go with the minor discount. (Oh, curse you, consumerism!). On the docket was Mission: Impossible III, the [...]
Everything is linked, or, Sensory Integration and the Cerebellum
For a while, Carter’s been seeing an Occupational Therapist. His friend Maddie explains that it’s to help with his “snit fits.” Which is partially true. Carter says it’s just fun, and helps his hands get stronger, which is also true. I explain it as helping him feel more comfortable in his skin, which I also [...]
