a turnover is when you do something that gives the other team the ball, like a bad pass, an offensive foul, etc.
Yeah I agree. I was just saying that you also have to be realistic in some ways and also let kids be kids. Punishing a kid for getting on the merit roll (B average) is crazy to me.
LOL at all the Harvard grade inflation talk in this thread, feeling a little bit sensitive people? Grade inflation is a problem but the quality of students they enroll cannot be questioned, they get the cream of the crop. Besides a lot of graduate schools have their own metrics by which they adjust grades and they keep a track of the performance of the kids in their programs dependent on undergraduate universities. Brown has the most grade inflation out of any of the ivy league and graduate programs still look very favorably on the quality of the students they produce after all these years of knowing about it.

I'm wondering about all of this grade inflation talk; so you can take some random B- community college student and dump him or her into Harvard and the grade inflation will give them.. a B as well? That doesn't sound plausible. And as I understand it Lin's parents aren't rich so you can't accuse him of getting into ivy League via family $$ a la GW Bush. And Asians aren't one of the minority groups who get boosted admissions and lowered standards. So wut next~
It's possible. Not based on grade inflation but just based on how well they do compared to others in whatever class(es) they are taking when they are dumped into Harvard.
Also, I'm not saying that due to inflation that Lin is "dumb" BTW. I was just replying to the person that used Harvard grade inflation to reply to me as if I didn't know about it.
If the average grade is actually a 90 percent then those kids who earn that 90 should get an A-. Curving should never be used against a student, if the tests weren't hard enough then that needs to be adjusted next quarter. I think the bigger issue is if the class is getting an average of 75 and you feel that 75 needs to be the cutoff for A-, if something like that is going on at Harvard then it needs to be corrected.
Hit the nail on the head.

to their credit, they are criminally underrepresented in just about every media.
Aside from Boxing, yeah.
Not Asian, Pacific Islander /sarcasm
Have you ever watched local news?
Yeah, I always see tons of Asian-American/Asian-Canadian anchormen reading the news.
Fuck Connie Chung Syndrome.

No, she's basically putting up a big sign saying "Fuck me, Jeremy Lin!"
Key difference.

Interesting video about Lin that helps put into perspective how hard he worked for this. I don't like the narration but it has footage from his practice and workout routines.

Yeah, playfully stating her attraction to a smart badass dude, where's her shame?

He went to Harvard from merit.
That's not entirely certain.
