Study Reveals New Insights Into Gender Gap In Chess: Equal Start, Equal Progress Girls who start with the same age and rating as boys will continue to play chess at a similar rate and at a similar level as those boys, a new study revealed.

My dad died at 57 when I was 21. He had no life insurance and my mom had never had a job. I dropped out of college and moved home to help her out.

Texas-ex here. Florida dominated both lines of scrimmage, even against our vaunted defense. Keep that up and they'll right the ship. Hope stays alive. OTOH, my Horns are going the wrong way. 8-4 or 7-5 at best
