Where the match be held at?
Impaired diving has a higher chance of causing an auto accident.
I do not think you mean to say that driving without a seatbelt will increase the incidence of accidents?
There were some studies performed about 10 years ago where it appeared as if wearing seat belts had people felling more secure and the incidents of accidents actually rose because of it. Fatalities did not increase and dropped as a percentage of incidents because they are effective in reducing fatalities in those that wear them.
An overall larger threat thN not wearing seatbelt a is distracted driving such as holding a cell phone and talking, texting while driving, fiddling with internal controls on the vehicle such as temperature or entertainment systems.
Edit: found an article that discusses this.

Agree with you completely. But the reality is, this lawsuit is not about the accused having representation. To sue over the fact that someone had defense available to them is ridiculous.
What is also ridiculous is creating an environment in which the accusers were not comfortable in bringing accusations forward (its alleged that even another player was harassed for trying to do the right thing), or their concerns were not taken seriously by the university. Whether those items are true or not remains to be seen, but neither of them have anything to do with an attorney for the defense being available.
Roanoke checking in again. Noon Monday.
Snowfall has dissipated to flurries.
Observed total accumulation based on undisturbed snow on my glass patio table and sidewalk is between 10" and 12". Fine scientific instruments they are.

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role The way John Bullen described it to me a few years ago, It seems like Director of Football Operations is basically a project manager for the football team program (my words, not his). Logistical challenges, scheduling, staffing, assigning responsibilities, pointing players in the right direction when they need life or legal council, acting as a laison between the coaching staff and the rest of the athletic department, etc.
Basically, John Bullen was to Frank Beamer as (sober) Doug Stamper was to Frank Underwood. I assume Danielle's duties will be the same.

Giving the replay official authority to stop play if he thinks there was targeting should reduce the number of "I don't know what I just saw some I'll throw a flag to be safe" targeting penalties. If you're going to err on the side of caution (and in this case, we should) then this is a better setup. If the on-field officials aren't sure, they don't throw the flag, knowing the booth will buzz down. As it stands now, if the flag is thrown, there's an obligation to stand behind in in a show of taking head injuries safely, even if review shows it wasn't an ejectionable penalty. With the buzz in, there can ultimately be NO penalty if the replay official doesn't find anything.

If you live in Charleston area check this out.
Boyer is Back! "The Evolution of Beer"
March 12th
Details about location and time will be announced soon!In 2013, we had John Boyer aka "The Plaid Avenger" in town for a special alumni social event. He is now coming back by popular demand! This year he will be speaking about "The Evolution of Beer."
John Boyer (aka the Plaid Avenger) is a very charismatic and popular VT teacher. His lessons are nothing short of being both interesting and informative. Boyer is in such high demand for both current students and alumni, that he holds the record for the highest enrolled class at Virginia Tech (~3,000 student, which was the first class ever held in Burruss Auditorium!) He has won numerous awards and is clearly one of the universities most well-liked professors.
We are in the process of securing the location, but the date is set, so mark your calendars! (You can expect that we will have plenty of beer for you to choose from as you learn about the evolution of beer on Saturday, March 12th!)
Here in Charlottesville there's only about 2-3 inches. It's still flurrying but I doubt it will change accumulation totals. They still cancelled school though because honestly what would they be missing.
I canceled my Mandatory Pre-Bid that was supposed to be on Tuesday morning. We have about 8 inches here in Christiansburg. VDOT is telling people they are going to be much slower getting to secondary roads this snow fall. Apparently last time, the Governor declared a state emergency which opened state funds for overtime. This snowfall, not so much.
I've always been able to convert 8 or 9 out of 10 on NCAA. How hard can it be? /s

# | Danielle Bartelstein Stresses "Business as Usual" Start to Hokie Career, Despite Groundbreaking Role So I'd like to talk about what she will do in this jobs and her qualifications. Seems like she had a good background with some great programs, even helping with recruiting at Stanford.
I tried to walk on back in the early 2000's. I was told tryouts would be indoors but I had to reschedule due to a class conflict. When I got rescheduled I showed up in tennis shoes and tryouts were on the outdoor practice field. It's hard to put up a good time in the shuttle run and 40 yd dash in Nike street shoes, so needless to say I didn't make the team. That and the fact that we were damn good at the time. But I blame the shoes.
Well, that standard could apply to all kinds of laws. Unless I'm driving like a maniac, crash or injure somebody, I should be able to drink beer while driving. I can handle it and if I screw up, well, that's what jails, traffic cops, lawsuits and insurance companies are for. Same would go for speeding and vehicle inspections and on and on. I realize that this is a larger issue than just driving and handling a gun, but my feeling is that since it is the state's responsibility to regulate the privilege of driving, then it is the state's prerogative to set the rules they deem necessary to promote safety for all of us involved. Would our insurance rates rise if more folks got messed up in accidents because of their failure to wear seat belts? If so, that alone would prove injurious to me. Yeah, I'm being a bit facetious, it's crappy out and I'm a little bored, and there are a ton of crimes that I would call "victimless" crimes that I would possibly be more likely to rail against, but seat belts? Nah.
I'm guessing 5th, with Lehigh getting beaten pretty badly (28-9) by PSU as well.
