One of the most important phenomena that came from the infamous Duke Lacrosse Case was the emergence of an influential blogosphere that mitigated some of the effects of the mainstream news media. Because this coming together of large numbers of individuals seemed to originate from nowhere, one way to examine it, as Richard Posner has suggested, is through the lens of what F.A. Hayek called the "spontaneous order." While Hayek was referring to the social effects of a market economy, which comes about not by central planning, but by individual plans, nonetheless this blogosphere had many of the same characteristics of social cooperation by people of many different backgrounds. Further, this article will consider Cass Sunstein's criticism of the analogy to Hayek's spontaneous order.
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- As the warm-up for Virginia's spring football game, the UVa men's lacrosse team didn't leave the audience in a particularly good mood.

RIDGEWOOD - Jack Allard and Garcia Logan scored three goals each and Ridgewood's defense shut out Shawnee for the last three quarters as the second-seeded Maroons beat the No. 7 Renegades, 10-1, in the Group 3 boys lacrosse quarterfinals on Thursday.

There are seven championship games in lacrosse over the next two days. All involve No. 1 seeds meeting No. 2s. Three of them are marquee matchups that are rematches of thrilling upsets in last year's Section VI finals. All teams that survive move onto traditionally very tough state playoff games on Saturday.

Athletes are among the first to discover that life isn't always fair. Take Eugene Arsenault and the rest of the Clark University men's lacrosse team.

The Castle High School Lacrosse team kicked off its season March 13 with a game against Homestead, a team from southeastern Indiana near the Ohio border. Spectators came spirited -- like Emily Forche, Audrey Beckerle, Lauren Mitchell, and Krista Zieg, who came dressed up in their lacrosse team garb to support their boyfriends on the team. To say that lacrosse is a new sport would be incorrect; the game has been around awhile. Imagine Indian warriors fighting with sticks on a field over a land dispute. The clacking of sticks, war whoops, painted skin and coal-black hair; that was lacrosse a couple hundred years ago. Native Americans used lacrosse to settle differences.
Carrying the burden of three straight losses in the championship game of the Northeast Conference women's lacrosse tournament and facing a team wanting no part of Quinnipiac's explosive transition attack could have been a recipe for more heartbreak.
