Moser, No. 14 UNLV get past No. 13 San Diego St
By OSKAR GARCIA, Associated Press
Feb 11, 8:13 pm EST
LAS VEGAS (AP)—Down by 13 points, Chase Tapley and No. 13 SDSU rallied in the second half to take a lead.
They just couldn’t hold on.
The Aztecs turned the ball over three times in the final 42 seconds and lost 65-63 to No. 14 UNLV on Saturday.
“We didn’t seize our opportunities,” said Tapley, who scored 16 points in the second half and finished with 22. “We had a chance to win and we came up short.”
The loss means the Aztecs (20-4, 6-2 Mountain West) split their conference series with the Runnin’ Rebels this year—each team earned a two-point win. The teams won’t face each other again unless they meet in the conference tournament next month in Las Vegas.

Part 2: The Dawes Act Started the U.S. Land-Grab of Indian Territory
By Gale Courey Toensing February 13, 2012
February 8 marked the 125th anniversary of the notorious Dawes Act. This is part two of a three-part series on this devastating bit of legislation. Check back here Wednesday, February 15, for part three. Click here if you missed part one.
THE RESISTANCE
The Dawes Act provoked a campaign of resistance known as the Snake Rebellion, which was led by Chitto Harjo, a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. The Snake Rebellion ultimately failed to stop the dispossession of Indian lands, but it forged a “spirit of collective political activism” that still inspires Indigenous Peoples today.
From around 1898 until 1909, Harjo led a group of dissident Creeks who opposed the allotment of Creek land, insisting that the federal government honor the original removal treaties made between the United States and the Creeks in the 1830s. The federal government signed those treaties in response to pressure from white European settlers moving into the South who were eager to acquire Indian lands.

Trimming super-size with half-orders, plate colors
Associated Press | Posted: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 12:14 am
Call it the alter-ego of super-sizing.
Researchers infiltrated a fast-food Chinese restaurant and found up to a third of diners jumped at the offer of a half-size of the usual heaping pile of rice or noodles _ even when the smaller amount cost the same.
Giant portion sizes are one of the culprits behind the epidemic of bulging waistlines, and nowhere is the portion-creep more evident than in restaurants with French fry-heavy meal deals or plates overflowing with pasta. Now scientists are tapping into the psychology of eating to find ways to trim portions without people feeling cheated _ focusing on everything from the starchy sides to the color of the plates."The small Coke now is what used to be a large 15 years ago," laments psychologist Janet Schwartz, a marketing professor at Tulane University who led the Chinese food study. "We should ask people what portion size they want," instead of large being the default.

Court blocks injury lawsuit against tribe
Sovereignty doctrine cited
By Leader Staff
2/14/2012
A state appeals court Tuesday sided with the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe in a personal injury lawsuit, affirming a lower court that ruled the tribe cannot be sued because of its sovereignty.
Robert and Mary Koscielak of Menominee Falls sued the tribe after an incident in February 2008 in which Robert slipped and fell on ice in the parking lot of Pine Hills Golf Course and Supper Club, which is owned by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. Koscielak sustained serious injuries that required hospitalization.
He and his wife filed suit against the tribe under its Pine Hills business name in June 2010. Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court Judge James Habeck issued the lower court ruling in favor of the tribe in January 2011.

Cortez hospital inks landmark civil rights settlement with Indian tribe
POSTED: 02/14/2012 01:00:00 AM MST
By Nancy Lofholm
The Denver Post
Two years ago, a Cortez hospital turned away a Ute Mountain Ute woman who was seeking treatment because she allegedly had been raped. Her case has led to a landmark civil rights settlement in Colorado. It has also become a catalyst in efforts to bring about better government and tribal cooperation nationwide. The settlement inked this week between the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and Southwest Health Systems Inc., the company which operates Southwest Memorial Hospital, establishes new policies to ensure tribal members who come off reservations for medical treatment aren't discriminated against. The hospital entered into the agreement voluntarily while denying any wrongdoing.
