Reading Ross Hammersley's letter, "Writer misinterprets; court case just, lawful" (SN 10/28), I was appalled to discover the depth of ignorance lurking in the mind of a third-year law student. Perhaps I shouldn't be, given the ideological inbreeding that dominates the legal community. Knowles correctly recognizes that in Romer v.
I am writing in response to John Bice's column, "Afterlife concept devalues earthly existence; celebrates death" (SN 10/21). I appreciate this column (and his others) for helping me look at my faith with his eyes.

A struggling and inconsistent Spartan defensive unit may have gotten the turnaround it was looking for in Saturday's 46-15 win over Indiana. Using a more aggressive strategy, the defense intercepted three passes for the first time since 2003, recovered a fumble, recorded two sacks, and made six tackles for losses, all while holding the Hoosier offense to 369 total yards.
It's scary to imagine where this country will be in 10 years. Considering the recent string of nominees coming out of the White House, the future seems rather uncertain. After the nomination of Harriet Miers failed, President Bush nominated Judge Samuel A.

MSU and Grand Rapids community leaders are inching closer to a decision about the future of the university's College of Human Medicine. Stakeholders in a proposed expansion of the college are scheduled to meet today in Grand Rapids to continue discussions about the project, and the group's final report could be in the works. During the summer, specialized work groups looked into the feasibility of different aspects of the project. The work groups were coordinated by Van Andel Institute Chief Administrative Officer Steve Heacock, who was charged with facilitating discussions among the stakeholders. Heacock said he has spent the last month and a half talking with the chairpersons of those work groups and drafting a report of recommendations.
In their discussions with East Lansing's permanent residents, Melanie Glover (right) and Megan Bensette (left) always hear the same two complaints — noise and litter. The MSU students are two of the seven neighborhood resource coordinators, or NRCs, that work in the Community Relations Coalition, which pushes for cooperation and communication between residents.
She's viewed the same scene four times in the last four years. But this was by the far the worst. Patricia Johannes had only one word to describe a slimy attack on Beaumont Tower on Sunday morning — horrifying. "It was just a horrible, shocking scene to walk up and see the eggs all over the tower and the doors — yolks everywhere," said Johannes, an on-call Agricultural Economics employee.

In his letter to the editor, "Creationism more scientific than others" (SN 10/21), Max Lossen refutes Drew Robert Winter's assertion that creationism is "not endorsed by any large credible members of the scientific community." He does this by listing off several scientists who died long before Darwin even published his research on evolution (Francis Bacon, Galileo and Isaac Newton), one who is claimed to have been against evolution by creationists, but claimed to be in favor of it by evolution supporters (Louis Pasteur), and four contemporary scholars.
The Michigan Court of Appeals suspended an Ingham County Circuit Court ruling on Monday that said Proposal 2 allows public employees' same-sex partners the right to receive health benefits. In early October, Attorney General Mike Cox requested the judgment be delayed until the appeals court made a ruling, and the court ordered the appeals case to move quickly. The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed the suit in March on behalf of 21 couples and the nonprofit group Pride at Work. Interpretations of Proposal 2, which bans gay marriage in Michigan, spurred the suit. The 21 couples said voters did not intend to keep gay couples from receiving health insurance and benefits. Some of the plaintiffs named in the suit work for MSU and the ruling would affect employees at public universities. "Health-care benefits for a spouse are benefits of employment, not benefits of marriage," said Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Joyce Draganchuk in her decision in September. It would let voters down to do anything but throw out Draganchuk's decision, said Sen.
The Looney Tunes are one thing that I remember quite fondly from my childhood. When I saw a DVD box set of the classic cartoons, it was an immediate buy for me. When I got home and watched the first disk, I was surprised to see Whoopi Goldberg come on screen.
