So I just got done watching the US women win against Nigeria to advance to the elimination rounds as the top team out of group B. It looks like Sweden beat the North Koreans, which puts those two into a tie for second in the match points, but it's not enough for the Swedes since they needed to win by 3 to match North Korea's goal differential (which acts as the tie-breaker).

The Bill of Rights symposium was really interesting yesterday. If you want to hear all the gory details, you'll have to give me a call, but the most interesting tidbit was that the case for NC's legal ownership hinges to some degree on a transcription error in the NC Bill. Of all the unaccounted for copies (5), NC's copy is the only one that uses the word "where" rather than "wherein" in the 8th article, which became the 6th amendment to the Constitution (right to a fair and speedy trial). The inconsistancy was discovered and verified by a researcher helping with the litigation, and I think the State should give that girl a raise.

The depressing thing is that because of the poor condition of the document (as a result of improper preservation), NC does not have the resources to install a permanent display advanced enough to protect the fagile Bill. Therefore, the Bill will be stored in the State Archives and only come out for special occassions. SO... if you want to see the Bill before it's locked away, you better take advantage of the opportunity while you can. Who knows how expensive it will be for admission to the fundraising galas that will probably be the only chances to see this treasure in the future.

Finally, UNC dropped another close one, and my 4-win prediction is on dangerous ground. Let's hope we can sneak up on USF so I can watch the VaTech game.
