QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) SB.. In a nutshell she said that while the publishing company likely has a disclaimer on the book that they can (and will in her opinion) be sued for negligence, and they will lose unless the claims can't be proven. That, of course, will be up to a jury as to what they define and determine as "proof". One interesting thing is that the publisher initially said no way to the book. After investigators looked into Jose's claims they changed their minds. It all boils down to anyone can sue for anything. It's a gamble on what a jury will decide. She apologized for not being more detailed but she's a bit busy. But she did say she'd answer questions if there were any more. She also wanted to stress that she is not a publishing attny and her answers are based on case law that she has access to. So if no one sues, you know there is pretty much fire underneath that smoke...

OK lets start to get serious here.... These were the leagues from last year.

As League 1 and League 4 commish, my first priority is to keep leagues together who want to stay together. I don't know how the rest of the leagues feel, or who all of the comishes were, but if others feel the sameway, I would encourage them to keep as many of the old people in their leagues. If people want to switch out, feel free. All of the people who were in league one and want to stay, please post it. If you have interest in being in another league let me know, so we can look at filling the spot. Also I would love it if someone wanted to take over as League 4 commish, that way I can concentrate on the one league. So lets start seeing the serious interest in the leagues and get people signed up!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) It's been less than a 100 years since this country started letting women vote. Same for Canada I believe (iirc New Zealand was the first country to let women vote and that was as "early" as 1906/8/something). We're aren't so progressive as we think. EDIT: Sorry, NZ was first, 1893. Australia was the first to let women vote AND be in parliment/congress in 1902. "In the politics of a democracy there should be no sex. A woman without a vote is an inferior, and thereby liable to be so regarded." Maybanke Anderson, The Sun, 6 July 1912. I was thinking the samething in regards to the US. I didn't realize that basically all of the rest of the formerly British world basically walked down the same path. Was it the same way in regards to minorities? Did they withhold the right to vote from groups (such as blacks) also?

Serious question. How much intelligence do people think there is in regards to different types of terror attacks in different specific areas, targeting specific places sitting on these peoples desks right now? Especially after all of the interogating we have done, I'll bet there are reams of info on just about every target and method imaginable. Nuke plants, bio facilities, water supplies, landmarks, buildings, harbors, airports, hospitals, infrastructure etc... I'll bet it is all out there. How would you prepare for all of that? If we had 52 warnings before something happens, how many 10's of thousands of things are we sitting on now? I would be curious to see in these 52 warnings, were specific airlines/airports targeted? How many different ones were described if any? Was it just the east coast, or did they have wind of the full plot involving west coast airlines as well. And most importantly if we had a near blueprint of their plan, and had gone before Congress with it to request funding to protect against it, would it have ever even gotten out of committee? Somehow I doubt it The article states that no where in the warnings was a 9-11 style attack described, so what were the suicide attacks that were described? And what were the airport/airline warnings regarding? And if the airlines were given warnings, which this seems to indicate, and the airlines did nothing with the warnings, how should the government have responded? What recourse did they have? Could they have demanded more inspections and checkpoints? Could they have required closer passenger screening? This article raises a lot more questions than it answers for me.

Until Frank gets back, I would like to see it be Aaron. It will probably be Dye though.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) We should try and get the leagues registered early and make them all live drafts That's what we did last year.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 06:04 PM) f***ing sickening. And it begs the question of "why the f*** is a 26-year-old hanging around with a 16-year-old in a 'punk clique' anyhow??????" I hope that nutty b**** gets the justice that she deserves. Good question, what would make a much older person want to hang out with teenagers in a group like that???

I'm taking UNC. I think Dukes wussy scheduling catches up with them as they have to face another real team after taking the fall off Kansas-style.

All right guys this ends here... Back on topic.

Ah yes, Fox television... the Detroit Tigers of the networks.

SPOILER!!!! ANSWERS BELOW!! 1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. 2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it and hung it up to dry. 3. Charcoal. 4. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. 5. The letter "e" -- which is the most common letter in the English language -- does not appear once in the long paragraph.

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years. Which room is safest for him? 2. A woman shoots her husband, then she holds him under water for over five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. Five minutes later they go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? 3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? 4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? 5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! I'll post the answers below, with a spoiler warning...

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Agree. White Sox should do more of this, not sure why they're not. They usually do. They had plenty of them the last few years. This year with the roster pretty well set, there really isn't much incentive to come here on one of those type of contracts. There just aren't many opportunities to be had here. They did get invites out to some of our not as deep spots behind the plate and at SS, but that is about it.
