Would this be similar to when USC got hit with post season ban in football and all upperclassmen were free to transfer and be eligible immediately?

Finally got around to watching video. Extremely impressive. I hope we have a real shot at him!

or Rudy's in Allen!

I was thinking ink and quill...

Rivals showing commitment to UKMC...

Rudy's in Allen with my wife. Works great since it's a two minute drive. Just have to work it so I can leave work downtown at about 4 to have any chance at getting there before it starts.

Kind of what I was thinking. I actually recently read up on the subject because it was something that interests me. I will have to see if I can find the links to the study I read, but it was basically a poll of economists (primarily academics) on whether the policies helped or hurt in relation to bringing the country out of thee depression. I think the response was definitely mixed, but I think it was between 60-70% came down on the helped side, with the others in the prolonged camp. Far from a consensus on the issue.

They have in the past Quinn and J-MO definitely come to mind.

His brother was Chris Davis who was a star here in the early 2000's. Also Ervin himself was affiliated with the program in some way for awhile.

Doubtful, they may dislike Perry, but I'm sure the hate/strong dislike/disagreement on policy (however you want to put it) for Obama is much stronger. They will be out in full force.

Who says we haven't tried?

Maybe thought is with some many potential weapons coming on this year, we don't necessarily need someone who is a star, but someone who will come in and fill a specific role. If he is a two guard, that would be a need position as Walton would only have one more year. Would prefer to see 6'4 and 6'5 two guards though, but if he can fill it up, should be allright in SBC.

Agreed...97-3 with a UNT win. Can't wait!

Take it down a notch man. If you would have linked where you got it from, the response would have been a little different (maybe). When you go throwing out statements without support, then obviously everyone will be skeptical.

Yea - 2008 is definitely an outlier, especially when looking at companies in the financial sector. As far as the salary issue, I do know of several companies that instituted both pay cuts and salaries freezes (again ancedotal) and many have not restored them despite the uptick in profits. It would be interesting to know if that was the case with many companies, or if most have at minimum restored salary to where it was before. If companies haven't done that, then glicks claim might hold water. Although with any statement like that it would be extremely hard to prove (at least the salary component of the arguement).

I think the first part is reasonable...you could also say pull some kind of sample out of the Fortune 500 list. The second part would be almost impossible to track based on financials. Even if salaries & wages were disclosed, you would have trouble getting an accurate headcount to gauge whether any changes in salaries & wages was attributable to changes in salaries for employees, or purely a function of changes in headcount.

Sorry - I think bringing in Hannity and Moore confused my point. My point was this, the author of this book isn't well known enough by liberals/people who disagree with him for them to go out of their way to write a review just to trash his rating - which is what you see with the people like I mentioned. His audience is primarily only people who agree with his agenda, which is to abolish the fed, thus pretty much ensuring mostly positive feedback. If I want a historical view on a topic, I won't go to someone whose intent is to abolish the thing I'm researching. That would be like if I wanted a historical view on the civil rights act...asking you. That's my point, obviously history is important.

Yep when I want unbiased information I tend to go to knowingly conservative sites, since obviously they tend to be unbiased. As far as the reviews, I would suspect most (obiously not all) of his readers subscribe to his world view, therefore you would tend to expect in general positive reviews of the material. Obviously is I go to books of someone well known, like Sean Hannity or Michael Moore, I would expect to see a lower review score since their notoriety would most likely lead to people from the other side writing reviews to simply give the books a 1.

After researching the author of the book, I don't have high hopes for finding an unbiased fact based view of the federal reserve system. Most authors do source everything, the real issue is where are they sourcing? Authors, especially ones who approach an issue they are writing about with strongly held personal feelings, tend to source in a less than honest way. Why? Obviously very few readers will ever go to all the source material to check it out. Often you will see sources built largely on opinions of other similarly minded writers and questionable paraphrasing and interpretation of sourced material.

You really think Herman Cain has a better chance than Romney? I find that hard to believe. I think Perry is a joke, but probably has a much better chance than Cain. I think Cain is one of those who as more people listen to him realize they aren't as impressed with them as they thought they were.

For part #5, can I find out more about this by using the internets?

Not yet. I was kind of hoping you were updating us with where he signed...There's a tracker on espns's website for free agents that is pretty handy.

Who is this we you refer to?

Maybe he's serious?

I'm with you. I think both parties gave up something they wanted, so no one feels like a winner. I'm just glad they are getting something done so my 401K doesn't tank and I don't have to fast rising interests rates on any of my variable rate debt...
