I don't think there is any 'Austrian' language. Thats like someone saying 'I speak American!', when quoted person actually speaks english.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 02:22 PM) Like I said, it's better stimulus than a tax cut. But, the most effective stimulus is going to be something that not only employs unemployed people but which produces something that the country actually needs and which can facilitate further economic activity. A new Presidential helicopter can not enable new economic activity the same way a few billion dollars worth of Solar Panels or a new high speed rail line or some intensive volcano monitoring will. i'd rather have the jets instead of volcano monitoring

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) The Sox have a DH. Frank has nowhere to play. If by bring him back you mean not to play but to retire as a White Sox, I fail to see what that accomplishes. I'm sure when the time is right, Frank will be offered some sort of role with the White Sox. Maybe he can be an "ambassador" like Fisk. Even Fisk didn't know what that meant. Thomas would be a better White Sox ambassador (whater that is) than Fisk. Fisk is in the hall as a Red Sox.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) Why don't you volunteer to be a White Sox expert. He said they don't turn anyone away. That would make 2 Sox fans. ^^^

Columbo, since he's in the neighborhood, he'll find the spent casings which will undoubtedly have your fingerprints on them from when you loaded it. pffft just wear gloves. you suck Lt Columbo!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) The obvious solution is more guns. If the dog had been packing, this never would have happened. We need to address the root cause of the problem. Dogs that pee on stuff. If there was a ban on canines this tragedy would not have happened.

Evil conservatives ban chia Obama. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/loca...algreens_040309

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) The gunmen has been identified as a 41 year old Asian male, Jiverly Yoong. I wonder what are the circumstances behind his firing at IBM. he was probably just laid off in a cost cutting measure. i know IBM has been making job cuts and sending some of it's operations out of the US.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) Except of course, the Supreme Court has already said you can't use statistically corrected samples in redistricting. I think you are misreading here; the example of redistricting is used to show how partisan efforts can effect government representation in a way in which may not accurately represent a population. A corrupt census count would certainly lead to representation issues.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) I have that fear as well - census becomes partisan similarly to re-districting. But if they use sampling, the stats will show you sample size and sampling groups, so you can do the math and get a variation number and see where it should be. they aren't going to be using pure applied statistics algorithms from what i'm reading. even with standard usage, applied statistics is easy to abuse. it totally relies on an unbiased sample. i think your example of how redistricting is abused is a good example of what is to come. both parties do it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 12:41 PM) As usual people in Congress acting like they know a subject they clearly don't. And Republicans adding one of their fave things - attacking well-educated people as if they perversely prefer ignorance. There is not a single stats professional in this country who doesn't use or hasn't used sampling - it is part of the field of study. using sampling should make the process less expensive. sampling can also be abused pretty bad, a lot of room to get the results that one wants. i think we are ushering the era of large swings of census data based on what party is running the white house and the census.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 07:50 AM) Regardless of what you may think of media bias, one thing I can guarantee they wouldn't do in either case, is show the video on MSM news networks or websites. No way that happens. If it were one of Palin's kids, 100% chance it's top news on every MSM newscast (except maybe FOX), front page of the NY Times, cover story on Time, Newsweek, ect.

whoa..... GO BEARS! the offensive line needs major work, nice to see we got Pace as well.
