Disney's original TV show - That's So Raven

edit

Hi!

My daughter, Jessica, has Down Syndrom. She is almost 16 years old. One of her school projects is to write about something she likes. She chose her favorite TV show, That's So Raven. In order to complete her project, her teacher asked me what is the name of Raven's high school and what grade she is in.

Could you please reply to me directly with this answers? I would greatly appreciate it. You can reply to *email deleted*

THANK YOU so very much for any information you can give me. I checked everywhere I could think of through you and through Disney.

From List of characters from That's So Raven This may be because in season one, Raven attended Bayside Junior High and in seasons two through four she goes to Bayside High School. SaundersW 16:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who is responsible for collecting wins, stats, etc. in sports games?

edit

I asked this in entertainment because it seemed most logical - sports is entertainment and part of pop culture.

Whose job is it to send stats, winners, losers, etc. to the league office, the team sports equivelent of the golfer signing an official scorecard? I'm guessing the official scorekeeper at each game, but it could be the umpires/referees.

The job seems like it would be a breeze now with computers and all but what about in the old days? Say Cleveland beat Detroit in a game in 1901 - would the official scorer go down to the telegraph office and send a telegram saying "Cleveland won," with his seal, and the result certified by the league office then? What would happen if someone pulled some chicanery and sent a telegram saying Detroit won?

Come to think of it, what happens today if some hacker gets into the official leage database and changes Tampa's record? Could the Devil Rays get sent an official notice stating that they have won the division?

Hmmm, speaking of computers...someone posted on baseball-fever.com (where nobody knew the answer to this) a while back George Brett had been credited with 2 more RBIs. Maybe that's the answer - something was entered intot he computer wrong when one of those official scorekeepers was doing things, and if it was the last day of the season, nobody paid attention.Somebody or his brother 19:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to your question will most definitely vary between sports. Even then, each national association will have its own way of doing things. I assume you're talking about professional sport, but the same issues arise in amateur competitions; and there are many different solutions. --Dweller 09:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't the 2 points for George Brett part of the Pine Tar incident?...hotclaws 12:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They could have been becasue of that, too - I thought they were awarded to him at that time, but they might have neglected that in all the confuusion. Those on baseball-fever.com, where I read it, didn't seem to think it would take that long, but it seems odd for them to take this long to catch anything, since he's been retired 14 years. So, you could be right.4.68.248.130 12:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wolverine

edit

I was just wondering whether or not the character wolverine has made an appearance in each and every episode of the 'X-Men the animated series'???,(all 76 episodes). The particular series which were shown between the years 1992-97.

  Thank You

IMDb lists Logan as appearing in 65 episodes. Clarityfiend 22:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But be warned that IMDb is fallible. Yesterday I looked up the sitcom May to December, in which Eve Matheson played the younger half of the title couple (in the first two series), and it said she was in one episode! —Tamfang 05:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
