Tremendous potential for Gilman Boathouse property.

Oh, the irony. When buying the MacDonald property (now the Gilman Waterfront Park) for $1.9 million was the only way to prevent a private buyer from building a hotel to compete with then Mayor Jerry Brandon's historic dump, the downtowner buisness owners could not buy it fast enough.
Now that the city has bought the Gilman Boathouse property with an eye towards a private developer building a modern hotel, the downtowners are all for private investment and no government "dabbling in real estate."
Hell, the DMA can't even compete with a damned hot dog stand! A pox upon them all.

CCGA adds math and psychology bachelor's degrees.

The quality of the faculty is much improved. The current president of the college seems to be a good match for a college in a period of transition and rapid growth.
My only concern with the direction I'm seeing the college go in is that there seems to be an increasing tendency to move towards an abandonment of the school's traditional support of working, non-traditional students by offering ample sessions of all classes as night classes.
Also, I would hope that in the very near future, as they flesh out the understaffed business faculty, they will be able to go from a degree in "general business" to degrees in specific areas, i.e., finance, economics, logistics, etc.
I would also hope that the business and political science departments could work together to offer a bachelor's degree in public administration.

Sunday Funnies; Volume 157.
HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle 's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle 's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over! The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct........leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'
