Ok, try not to laugh at the title… This is serious example. :smile:

They identified James Tabor on this headline news story (FOX.com) from AP as being from the University of North Carolina…

[QUOTE]Buried Feces Offer Clues About Authors of Dead Sea Scrolls[/QUOTE]

…

[QUOTE]
Joe Zias, a Jerusalem-based anthropologist, and [B][COLOR=seagreen]James Tabor,[/COLOR][/B] a Dead Sea Scrolls expert from the [B][COLOR=seagreen]University of [/COLOR][/B][URL=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,240997,00.html#][B][COLOR=seagreen]North Carolina[/COLOR][/B][/URL], decided to look for the Qumran latrine.

If it was far from the settlement ruins and if the excrement was buried, it would offer evidence the people living at the site were Essenes.

Zias and Tabor identified an area behind a rock outcropping, took soil samples and sent them to Stephanie Harter-Lailheugue, a French scientist specializing in ancient parasites.

The samples tested positive for pinworms and two other intestinal parasites found only in human feces. Samples from locations nearer the settlement tested negative.

The excrement traces were found underground — meaning the feces had been buried, as required by Essene law — a nine-minute walk uphill from the settlement.

“A lot of people were concerned with what went into the body, but the Essenes were perhaps the only group in antiquity concerned with what came out,” Zias said. “No one else would have gone to the trouble of walking this far.”

Still, there is no way to date the fecal parasites, which could have been left by Bedouin who are known to have inhabited the area. To counter this, the paper quotes a Bedouin scholar as saying the nomadic tribespeople do not bury their feces.

that is silly, the UNC name gives us prominance. Not our own faculty, alumni and students.

123

This will NEVER end folks, unless we have a name change, and THAT will NEVER happen either. Sooo…

124

Would someone please bring this to the Chancellors attention.
I believe this type of confusion may get his attention.

lol…here is my email:

Mr Dubois,
I am disappointed I did not get a response from you on my letter last week. Anyway, here is more fuel to the fire of my letter. How often does UNCC get national exposure on Fox News? Read this from today’s Fox News website:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,240997,00.html

that is pretty sad UNC gets credit for what one of your employees is doing…on a worldly stage.

I believe a name change would help football momentum also

the irony of this recent story on Fox News:
below the UNCC/UNC screw up, they said the other professor is from Universtity of Chicago. Of course there is a University of Ill-Chicago too. I bet those guys get mistaken for U of I all the time. But in this case, the U of Chicago made it easier for the reporter.

Also, I understand Tabor is furious about this typo.

Another problem is that archaeologists have already identified a toilet at Qumran — inside the settlement. But Zias believes it was for emergencies: In some cases, divine commandments notwithstanding, nine minutes outside the camp was too far to go.

Norman Golb, a history professor at the [COLOR=Red]University of Chicago[/COLOR] and a critic of the link between Qumran and the Essenes, called the new paper “an outrageous claim.”[/QUOTE]

Well, at least we were “University of Charlotte” on the Dayton game? Yaay!

I don’t see it. What are we looking at? Which part of the picture?

132

C49er, it says Charlotte and not UNCC. It also says Charlotte, when it asks you to choose a school.

133

Does anyone else notice that whenever someone posts a screenshot, you’ll always see something in the background referring to Bin Ladin, al Jazeera, jihad, or something?

Oh I guess the video feed didn’t show up.

When they had halftime stats up, they had us as “UC”…:smile:

LoL! @ Got Lutz

136

Anyone else think that the “CC” part of UNCC may lead people to believe it’s a community college?

137

Just on USA Today’s link to Danny Sheridan’s odds… Not sure if someone has brought this one up yet (and too lazy to look), but on there we are listed as NC Charlotte.

138

Can I get a link?
