| Still Fighting for Affirmative Action
The story notes that there has been no legal arguments made, so it is impossible to tell what will be made in court. It may well be that the school's able attorneys return with a simple, “Nothing we can do here." The Suit by the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action – the complaint can be found here: http://www.bamn.com/doc/2006/061108-complaint-prop2.pdf – alleges that there is no way to reconcile the Michigan Constitution with the US Constitution (and statutes passed pursuant to it). Whether they are correct or not, will be for the courts to decide. However, the drafters of the Michigan amendment were careful to put in provisions which stated that it cleaved to the 14th amendment. So, the flexibility of the Michigan amendment may be its strong point, but result in University's interpreting it to actually require no changes.

First, the good news: Sony's games division has made the first profit in two years. Here's the bad news: Sony is cutting its sales goal for PS3 to 9.5 million units for the year from 11 million. So is PS3 succeeding or not? It depends on how you measure it. In comparison to the Wii, the PlayStation is a failure for Sony. Wii sales are stronger, faster and despite predictions of being short-lived, show staying power. But compared to 360 sales, it may be good news for Sony. Xbox 360 sales are slowing - and worryingly for Microsoft they are slowing during a period of arguably its greatest games line-up. So what does 2008 hold? I don't believe titles like Haze or Metal Gear Solid 4 will shift that many more PS3s.

I notice that you do not state where you live. I am not going to waste any more of my time with this now, as contrary to what you believe, I am grown up, and sensible and will rise above your comments and put it down to the fact that you are not a very nice little man and are very narrow minded! For the record, I may live in Erith, but that does not mean that I mix with all of the people here or go out around this area. .
