Patented Groce 2nd half collapse

A shame if they lose this given the defense they played the first 10 minutes. Should have put the game out of reach but couldn't capitalize.

They should have tried to talk them down first: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/philade...killed-29426922

THERE'S A PLANE HEADED TO CHAMPAIGN!!! STEVENS TO ILLINOIS!!!

Can he please get more playing time now?!

Brooks. Pass the ball. Jesus.

Hinrich is so f***ing stupid these days.

Not some new discovery, but Brooks is a friggin ball hog.

You pick one player in each group that you believe will do the best at that weeks tournament. Points are awarded based on the prize money that player has earned. what's the ID #?

Congrats! Get some sleep!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 5, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) 10-8 over an 11-7 B10 team doesn't have too many precedents. Yeah but Illinois doesn't have the bad losses Purdue has and they would be 2-0 against them.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 5, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Does Purdue need to beat Illinois to make the tourney? Or would three losses in a row (including tourney) knock them out? If I were on the committee i'd say no, but I think conventional wisdom is that Purdue needs that win and maybe even one more in the tourney to get in. Illinois needs the game at Purdue and they should be in, but it might require another win in the tourney as well.

I've never played fantasy golf but I'd be up for trying.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 10:37 AM) All state business is supposed to be done through a .gov email address, which can be open to FOIA requests. She never even SET UP her .gov email account, so she was doing all business emails through this personal account. I understand, and that's obviously a huge problem. How does someone from the white house or sec of state not tell her that when they try to reach her? I guess i'm asking why the server itself is a big deal versus how she used it.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 10:26 AM) This email thing is starting to look like it has legs. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/b78ba433af3...official-emails Basically, it appears she had a server running in her very own home that hosted her email. This is not very common and most people who do this are those who are very concerned about privacy/government surveillance. That doesn't necessarily make it nefarious to do this, since most people who are doing these things are just techies and DIY types that like to have control. But that's not Hillary, obviously. Just having an email that is @myname.com is not the same as this - that's usually hosted on the server of the website host or alternately a common email provider like Google, Microsoft, etc. Apparently, hosting her own email basically weaves right through a loophole in federal law. She does not have to turn over any of her emails because she owns them. I haven't seen anyone say that this broke the law, but it certainly violated the spirit of it. She could very well turn everything over, but it would be very difficult to verify that she has indeed done so since she has access to all of the hardware and software. Somebody very clever was working for her to set this up. She may have wanted her own email address just because she likes to have her own things for continuity's sake or whatever. She's far from the first politician to conduct state business on a private email account. What's different is the server. The problem here is that whoever did it set her up to look very bad. She may have been approached with this idea and said to go ahead, this gives me cover for whatever I'm doing (this would only make sense if looking like she was hiding something was better than someone knowing what she was really doing). Or, someone on her team did this just assuming it was the best way to do it, and has given her a very guilty appearance in return. With all of this said, if you wanted to be evil, this is not a great way to do it. You would simply encrypt the emails you send, making them inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have the password of either you or your recipient. Even better, she wouldn't have done these kinds of communications over email at all since it is an inherently insecure medium. If you want to evade detection, you use the s*** Ed Snowden was using. Highly encrypted, anonymized, ephemeral messaging. If she has done wrong here, she did it sloppily. Wouldn't it be more logical for her to run her own server like a small business versus grabbing a gmail or hotmail account? That way she can control the security as she sees fit (obviously not good enough)? I'm failing to see the big problem here, at least with respect to having her own email server and address. If she's using the private email for her job, obviously that's the huge problem here, not just the fact that she has it in the first place.

QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 10:07 AM) So my goal this year is to consistently break 100. I've taken quite a few lessons this winter that should get me there. Once I break 100, I'm going to treat myself to some new irons/wedges as I'm using my FIL's hand me down's. Any recommendations or just go to a big box store and hit everything and see what feels the best? I went to a golfsmith and swung about 4 different sets that were in my price range and had good reviews online. It's free and they give you an idea of your swing speed, the flight of the ball, what clubs feel best in your hands, what clubs have the best sweet spot and forgiveness, etc. I was going to do the $60 or $100 dollar fitting with a specialist but I decided it probably wasn't worth it since I know my swing pretty well and know the issues that I have to keep working on (and i'm not abnormaly tall, short, wide, etc. requiring anything special). If you've had lessons, it's probably not necessary since you know the main goals of the swing and you probably know some of the issues you have with yours already. Then the issue is whether to buy new or used. You can save some money buying used. And you can also save some money buying at the end of the season. Once you find the set you want, look around at sports authority, dick's, golf world, golf galaxy, etc. I ended up testing the clubs I got at golfsmith and then I bought them on their website during a promotion with $100 off $250 or more (which they have pretty frequently). Keep that in mind.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 09:59 AM) Check out second swing, good prices. I just booked a golf trip to AZ in April, looking forward to dusting the sticks off. Yeah that's where I started, but then I found some good deals on ebay, assuming I get them in the range i'm hoping for. Jealous of your trip. My first round won't be until late April at the TPC John Deere course. I'm in NOLA with the wifey in May, I was thinking of taking my clubs to catch a round down there, but I'm not sure I'll have time (or permission).

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) Joe Lunardi's Bracketology update just released: Iowa up to a #7 seed Ohio State down to a #8 seed IU/Purdue both still #11 seeds, but IU now in play-in round and Purdue out of it. I find it incredibly hard to believe that an 11-12 win, 4th place big ten team (Purdue) won't make the tourney. I understand they have some bad losses and no signature win, but they're a solid team. Unfortunately I think it'll come down to Illinois and Purdue for that last spot. So Saturday is huge and I just don't see how Illinois can pull it off. It'd be great if Illinois could finish 2-0 and MSU can beat Indiana so they can grab the 7 seed in the tourney. Get the hell away from Wisconsin's side of the bracket. But I'm not holding my breath.

Put in a bunch of bids for some new fairway woods and wedges on ebay yesterday. Now fully engaged in the golf world for the year. Can't wait for the weather to turn so I can get out and start swinging again.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 07:47 AM) I honestly see Crean resigning at the end of this year and taking another job. His ego is too big to get fired. He's got 3+ million a year coming to him, with a 7-12 million dollar buyout (depending on when they do it). There's no chance he simply walks away from that guaranteed money. I thoroughly enjoy Indiana basketball right now. They're some of the worse fans, from an entitlement stand point, and all I heard about the last couple of years is how they're "back," how they'll be cleaning up on the recruiting trail, competing for national titles every few seasons, etc. And now the doom and gloom.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 04:42 PM) Maybe the way they are built today, but the technology exists to make this use case extremely easy, guns manu's just dont want it to work because it decreases the black market. The problem is to ensure the safety of an officer it would have to be an instantaneous read. Even a second could be too much time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) No, it isn't. Heller explicitly rejected the DC requirements to keep a gun unloaded or with a trigger lock. Plenty of people keep guns unlocked, loaded or both. It's still the law in Illinois: edit: Where in Heller did it address this? I thought the decision was pretty broad - we recognize the right to bear arms, but we also recognize there are common sense restrictions.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) If gun owners are as lazy as you then I advocate taking all of them away... It's not really a question of laziness, it's just another requirement that would replace an existing requirement that should be preventing the (rare) tragedies you're seeking to prevent. If you're worried about kids, only moronic, irresponsible and criminal parents let their kids get to their guns. They should locked up and unloaded. That's the law. Criminals. Well, they're criminals. I'm sure they'd totally abide by new laws, because they follow the existing ones! There's no way they'd try to get around the "smart" feature of the gun or use false applications and whatnot to become a registered user! And you've got millions and millions of guns out there. They'd simply get one of those guns, not the smart ones. So again, you're just punishing lawful gun owners to make a dent in a relatively small number of crimes that will occur anyway. It's just another pointless restriction. I could maybe support this restriction on cops, assuming it works flawlessly (i'd be concerned about how long it would take to verify you are the one that can use the gun), so that some perp can't go after a cops gun and use it. It's not like those guns can be shared with family/friends or passed down anyway. It's a service weapon only to be used by that cop. But given all the other s*** local communities have to pay for, not sure that extra perk is really in the budget or on the priority list for most departments/communities.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) You could conceivably have more than one authorized user and get that authorized user updated/changed. Seems like a lot of work and cost to prevent pretty rare events.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 3, 2015 -> 01:23 PM) Actually it's real life, they're called smart guns.Variety of ways to make it happen, could actually work. They're therefore the only type of gun the NRA despises. This wouldn't work for my family (or most gun owners I suspect). We share, depending on what we're hunting/shooting. Nor could you pass down guns through generations, as my grandfather did to me.
