Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Predictions: How many ACC teams will make the NCAA championship tournament

1 of 9

Halfway through the famous "last ten games" that the NCAA Selection Committee uses as one of its barometers of a team's success and worthiness for the NCAA tournament of 65, we have finally reached a point where the speculation is less than idle about who is going to make the tournament.

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Questioning the integrity of Senate confirmation hearings

3 of 9

According to the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, the powers of the President include appointing Ambassadors "with the Advice and Consent of the Senate."

There is no doubt that the globe is warming, unless of course it is cooling. There is data to support either assumption, just choose your data points wisely. I have gone to more sources than I care to admit to find the supporting scientific evidence that the globe is warming. Look at the temperature data around the world and ... More..
