Tournament spot on the line this weekend
The University of Montana football team will play its final conference in Big Sky games this weekend against Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado. The Grizzlies will host the Lumberjacks Friday at 3:00 p.m. at South Campus Stadium, then travel to Greeley, Colo., to face the Bears on Sunday at noon at the UNC Jackson Stadium.
What is at stake: For all eight teams in the Big Sky Conference, hopes in the playoffs. The eight teams have a pair of matches this weekend, and with each team sitting between three and 10 points, no one has won a place in the tournament of four teams and no team has been eliminated.
With seven points and residing in the middle of the standings, Montana could win the regular-season championship this weekend and host the Big Sky tournament the first weekend of November, or the Grizzlies could come out of Sunday's match with the same seven points and find themselves in last place (though no one who has watched the team play the last month of the season expects Montana to be holding steady with seven points come Sunday afternoon).
Remembering "Medicinal Michelle"
CANNABIS CULTURE - October 20th marks one year since Michelle Rainey's passing. Michelle was a well-known Canadian medical marijuana activist and Marc's right-hand woman for many years. She used cannabis throughout her life to alleviate the suffering from Chron’s Disease and, later on, cancer.In 2000, she started working with Marc Emery and founded the BC Marijuana Party with him in 2001. She also helped to run Emery Direct Seeds, getting life-saving seeds to those who needed them. Whether organizing pot parties, speaking at events, or making educational videos, Michelle worked tirelessly to end prohibition.
Michelle, along with Marc Emery and Greg Williams, faced life in US prison for the seed business after it was shut down in 2005. Thankfully, she received a no-prison sentence, and was able to live at home and continue her work in her final years.
After a brave fight, Michelle finally succumbed to cancer on October 20th, 2010 with her mother and husband at her side. Her life-long passion, strength and courage inspired so many people, and her loss has continues to sadden many every day, but especially on the day of her passing.

The two sides have created T-shirts and bought space on billboards to express their disgust with each other; not shockingly, some messages exceed the bounds of good taste. Just when you thought Illinois coach Ron Zook was on the hot seat and needing to
