Egypt's unemployment hover's around 20%....probably more....rising food prices & about 40% or so of their population lives on about $2.00/day. Look at the high unemployment and protest/riots in Greece last year. Look at the high unemployment in Portugal and Spain. These countries including our own are experiencing high unemployment, runaway debt and rising fuel and food prices. I would say that food prices in the United States, alone, over the last two years have increased 15-20 percent or more. What we are seeing here is about to come to America IF the current administration does not begin major cuts in spending across the board including entitlements and foreign aide. If you want to read what the US press is not reporting I would suggest you go world-newspapers.com and pick some European country of your choice (for the most part they are all in the English language)and start reading. Is this an Islamic overthrow of the Egyptian government? no. Do I think there are some radical Islamists behind some of the rioting? sure. Do I think that other countries are egging on some of the aggitation? sure. Do we get any of our oil from Egypt? no and if we do it ain't much. But, the Suez Canal is vitally important to the transport of Middle Eastern oil in time and money. Look at Tunisa....same situation as in Egypt.

Chinese banks have encountered uphill battles to gain access to the U.S. market in the past. For instance, it took almost two years for ICBC to get the approval from the Federal Reserve to open its New York branch, which has so far focused on commercial lending. That green light was given shortly before President George W. Bush's trip to Beijing for the Summer Olympics in 2008. (next to the last paragraph) who do you think the federal reserve is where they received approval? it is neither federal or a reserve. international bankers. the n.y. branch is to focus on commercial lending. who do you think owns most of our debt?

GreyEalgeOne, Thanks. I suppose my point was that, initially, it was a rumor from a new poster on his first post and appeared some members had the expressed conception that the invitatiion was tomorrow. Glad to know, coming from you, that this was only a rumor. Since the major conference shakeups really began a couple of two or three years ago we are always going to hear rumors. NT to CUSA....NT to MAC....NT to MWC....NT to Big 12. Glad to know that NT does not want to go to the WAC.

stop.....stop.....stop..... you folks have let a new poster with only one post make some of you think that a mwc invite is tomorrow. stop this insanity. well i guess it is ok to fantisize.

fan at a distance.....? is that like "dances with wolves & stands with a fist?" sounds like rumor #1,746......from a new poster's first post. Probably someone from this board using a computer at a library.

This is more about religion with the muslims taking control of the north and the Christians taking control of the South. Literally millions have died in defense of Christianity in the Sudan. Will this be a panacea for peace in the region? I really doubt it due to the growth of Islam throughout Africa and some of the socialistic nut jobs that run some of the other countries.

That was one of the toughest players I have ever seen at NT.

since TCU is now in the Big East...perhaps the powers can schedule some B.E. teams to swing by Denton on their way back home. Makes sense to me.

ok, i just made it all up....but....it did sound pretty funny when i was writing it. however, it is just as plausable as the stats and craps that try to legitimize the warming and cooling debate and just as ridicoulous.

Coach Jones has made an outstanding transformation with Knox. He has put on weight and what I have seen during the last three home games the kid is not only controling his opponent but batting balls away & disrupting the opponents on the inside. I would imagine that Coach Jones is working on him to have better hands when the ball is passed to him on the inside. The kid is turning out to the the real deal thanks to his coaching and his willingness to listen and learn.

From the UN Global Conference ______________________________________________________________________ United Nations Global Catastophe and Human Diaspora 2010 Conference Summary November 18, 2010 The President of the United Nations announced the findings of a 23 year study, sanctioned and funded by 21 developed countries, concerning the catostropic effects of world wide climatological anomolies and patterns since 1987. Project Director Dr. Ernst Fienfeld analized climate trends based on northern and southern hemisphere, eastern and western Pacific, eastern and western Atlantic, Northern and southern with eastern and western Indian Ocean and finally all continents. Dr. Fienfeld stated that to keep our planet from internally destroying itself through the drastic changes of global warming and cooling, which in steel, if exposed to the same drastic changes, turns brittle and litterly explodes, the United Nations must immediately begin to move masses of the earth's peoples to different parts of the planet. Peoples living north and south of the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn which are predominately caucasian in the northern hemispher and predominately of a darker pigmentation in the southern hemisphere have been experiencing the most extreme climatological changes and anomolies on the planet, during this study. Indigenous peoples between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn have experienced only negligible climatological changes which fall into a +/- 3.7568% of insignificant change. The United Nations Scientific Bureau has brought forth the recommendations for immediate action which has only been signed and approved by the 111th Congress and signed by President Obama to fund eight trillion dollars over the next two years to study feasability outcomes of moving the earth's population so that each continent will have a neutral blending of populations. What this means is that semi-proportionate numbers of people would be transported to and from different continents. Sixty percent of Anglo-Europeans living on the North American and European continents would be moved to southern hemispheric continents and forty percent of sub-equatorian indigenous populations would repopulate what is now known as North America and Europe. These population changes with the reconfiguration of all buildings on earth's surface to conform to a maximum height, not to exceed seven stories, will save the planet for the survival of mankind. The American President's signing of the Cities Reclaimation and Improvement Act on December 20, 2010 is designed to assist with the redesigning of American cites to conform to United Nation's standards. Chi-Lui Pyang, of China, the incoming president and director of the newly formed United Nations International Monitary Fund stated during President Obama's signing that all nations will be held accountable for a Cities Reclaimation and Improvement Act, which will cost the Americans another nine trillion dollars and Euope only three and a quarter trillion Euros to bring all structures in North America and Europe into United Nation Compliance Codes of seven stories except for pre existing National Monuments. The CRIA will place an addional 76.75% compliance tax on all property owners in North America and Europe to fund the transformation to save the planet. Carbon fuel taxes will be raise an additional 81.53% from all producers of oils and natural gas to fund the project and the repopulation in an effort to eliminate the extreme climatological changes that are presently destroying our planet and to make a more egalitarian future for all peoples of earth. link

Don't be over dramatic. I saw the same thing and he just walked off the court like nothing happened. Of course he was touching his lip to see if there was any blood or guts hanging out but it is probably not the first and will not be the last time him or any other player has been hit on the lip.......but seriously dude you write this like you are in some sort of psychotherapy session trying to get closure on your emotions. So what if the trainer said what he said to Hall. All I ask is that you do not try to pyschoanalize grown men patting under 21 ball players on the a** anytime during the game.

Ben Knox will get his first college Double - Double.

Global warming like all other studies (eggs, coffee, tea, butter, ice cream, women)depends on what scientific group or non-scientific group recieved sums of cash to come up with the statistical data (you can prove both sides of an argument with the same statistical data...) that the group who gave you the cash wants. Who is not to say that the group that said global cooling is the the cause of global warming was the same group a couple of years ago that said global warming is the cause of global cooling? Goes to show that some of us are just whores for money. Behind all of this is Soros, Bush, Gore and other international bankers who have funded communist revolutions throughout the world since 1900 killing billions of innocent patriots of freedom in Russia (1917-present), Mexico (1920's) Spain (1930's), Germany (1920's), China (1944-present), S.E. Asia (1940's-present), Tabago (1981)and Lau-Ak-Akee in the Marshal Islands (1974). Ok.....I was just kidding about Sorros, Bush & Gore and the last sentence........too much coffee.....

Honestly, can anyone who is not following a player really judge his talents based solely on a YouTube highlight segment or some other college's message board? Remember Evan Roman's....or some like spelling of that......hightlight video? One head fake and defensive miss and Roman was in the endzone. How many times did he do that at NT? None that I can remember. As far as who or why we are getting players I just leave that to the coaches.....I'm no expert on judging football talent....and I would suspect the same of the rest of you. You know it just has to be harder at the non-aq level.

Just my thoughts......I guess this guy was sleeping in class when the prof was going over double negatives.........no grammar nazis at TSU?

PMG....until your "Bridge across I-35" is built the university plans on placing these signs so you can navigate across I-35 between the traffic. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1233039018032997090Lrcaas

Personally, I do not think it is a question of NT & the AD hiring an individual to coach the program as it has been the financial commitment of the university to "upgrade" the status of the football program. NT has now, "finally," dug deeper into their pocket books in a realization to "commit" itself to a higher national spotlight than the ESPN Bottom 10. Perhaps the bell finally went off that said.....greater national prominance = more $$.....more wins/season = more $$......more wins per season + bowl games = more $$.......more season tickets/year = more $$. Unfortunately, it has been disapointing that NT has placed its athletic programs as an "evil" necessity of complying with federal law and somewhat limited financial resources. Now, NT has the highest paid football coach and what appears to be the most qualified assistants in the SBC.....and perhaps one of the best top five coaches and staff in the mid-majors.....perhaps rivaling the coaching staffs of some BCS programs. Of course this is just my opinion. Now we just have to see if this 2,000 pound gorilla can fight. In a few years I do not want to look back and think of this as another Augean stable.

IMHO, I think you were really ready to show him the door when you spoke to Ramon Flannigan in the stands.

Timothy Leary advocated the use of LSD to cope with places like Las Cruces. Well, on the positive side, I did go to part of elementary school there, an NMSU astronomer discovered Uranis....."not your anus".....but the planet Uranis and you can still drink in the same bars as Billy the Kid. The only aspect of Las Cruces I really liked was seeing Welcome to Las Cruces in my rear view mirror.
