Connecticut school shooting
if we wanted to stop this s***, one of the things is to stop releasing names and pictures of the guy (always f***ing men) who did this, so other mental cases stop thinking this is a way to notoriety. Learn from your mistakes, America.

Connecticut school shooting
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) Wow, nothing other than mental illness can draw a line from that to shooting an entire classroom full of kids. Right, search for motive in this will not bare any fruit.

Connecticut school shooting
this is traumatizing 1000 miles away. I can't imagine how those involved move on. I hope they can find meaning in the rest of their lives, and those lives lost I hope they find peace in death.

So, apple ditches google maps for their own. Their own suck, but then google comes back with a much improved google maps for iOS? How is this a fail for apple?

Was disappointed Chaney went with Bielema, but I'm open to promoting Andy Hill to OC. I do think this year was mostly done in by injuries, but a disaster due to some poor '10 class production. I think we'll be better.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) For once, I agree with Balta. Dwight and Melo were moved because their contract was about to expire. Love has no leverage for a few more years. It's not going to make things any easier for him if his play suffers and teams start questioning his attitude either (though I don't get the impression that he's the kinda douche where that would happen). Was Deron on an expiring contract? Or was it 1.5 years left?

I'll say this, the bulls of the past week HAVE been entertaining, and this is because of Bellinelli.

As a whole, Bernanke has done a pretty good job. It was frustrating since so much of his academia was committed to dealing with a crisis very much like the US (his writing on Japan), and then not following the course suggestions he set in his paper. That said, we are such better hands than so many companies. I'm only jealous of Israels central bank, Swedens and Australias. Good work Chicago Fed Chief Charlie Evans as well.

To be fair, norfolk st. was a tourney team last year. I know they lost a good player, but, no name in college basketball doesn't necessarily mean bad.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 06:24 AM) Jabari has a beautiful shot from outside. Jankovic is fascinating. A legit 6-11 guy with shooting and hops is so odd. Jankovic is incredibly inconsistent, but he's a high energy guy. None of our freshman play timid, Rosburg should, but even he isn't. I'm very excited to see Jankovic and Webster-Chan develop. All I know about Jabari is what he should have, I'm excited to see him play.

2012-2013 NFL Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Again I'm not saying that the Bears are better than under Martz, I'm saying that they're no worse and that wishing for Martz to come back is baffling to me. I think they would be better. The only thing I thought would get better under tice was sacks. It hasn't gotten better. And if it hasn't gotten better than I'd have preferred continuity.

Very impressed with U of I. As I said, terrified of the game vs. you. The very interesting thing about the Mizzou v. U of I game is the addition of Jabari brown. He will be added into the lineup 1 game prior to U of I. All fans are desperately hoping he proves to be the second ballhandler/outside shooter that we need. But the good news for U of I is our team is very tough defensively in the paint and 2 pt shots in general, but have shown to be horrendous on defensive rotations to defend the 3. Which is perfect for your team unless they are cold from behind the arc. Mizzou has a lot of sparks but only one consistent scorer thus far: Lawrence Bowers. I'm hoping for a consistent game from Flip and Bowers, and a big spark game from one of our freshman: Jankovoc or Webster-Chan.

I checked out It's a Wonderful Life at the Logan yesterday for a matinee. I thought I had seen that movie like 25 times, but it turns out I had never watched the first half. It's a lot funnier in the first half.

Job Hunt Thread
QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) How else am I to respond to what wite said? I'm not ignoring anything, I hear you guys. Yes, I agree the route that should be taken is from the bottom to the top of the food business. I'm asking for too much right off the bat. This is just a "dream location" and thats why I even brought it up, and I truly believe I can be successful at this spot. This house I'm living in now is already willed to me, it's paid off, my family has been in it since the 30's, so how sweet would it be to run the business 5 seconds away? Pretty flippin sweet. Definitely, if you are passionate about it and think you are weighing the cons with the pros, go for it. But please before you take any action, go take a part time job at a restaurant you admire.

Jim Demint resigns
QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 8, 2012 -> 07:00 PM) When people reflexively shout "both sides do it!" to everything it muddies the water, and actually excuses this kind of behavior from one side since we can't have an actual discussion about who really is the problem. While they both may be "to blame" this just by default says they are both 50-50 when it's more like 80-20 or even higher than that. What? We all know the healthy way to argue is to ignore the issue at hand and bring in every other grievance associated to gain leverage.

@ dasox24, Rumor is former Vols OC Chaney is moving to MIzzou as OC. I certainly liked your offense more than ours, what would you think about that hire?
