QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 17, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) I don't think the question is clear. Should that make a difference in deciding whether or not to prosecute someone or to investigate claims against them? or Should character be brought up at trial as relevant information wrt allegations and credibility? This. Should the suspect's reputation factor into the investigation and any threshold?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 17, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) 2 AL teams in Texas makes no sense The state is pretty damn big and supports three NBA teams. They are as far apart as Chicago and St. Louis. The rivalry should be exciting to watch.

Which is why I that the NW v. UTPA game would be televised on the network.

The Sandusky situation has me thinking. It was written that the government needed more than a he said he said proof to take down Sandusky. Sandusky was a revered figure in the communty, working for a premier, well respected, company. He also had a great reputation in the community and a list of charitible and community projects that was exemplary. Should that make a difference in prosecuting someone?

Unless you have something better to do, and want to watch college basketball, my alma mater is playing Northwestern this weekend and televised on the Big 10 network.

A couple thoughts It creates a better rivalry within Texas. I'm happy with no expansion A few more interleague games without a DH I can live with I doubt most fans will even notice the changes. Paves the way for a NBA, NFL kind of format I don't mind another team making the playoffs, if it is staged like I think it makes winning a division mean a little more. Now the WC will have to win another series before taking on a division winner.

Really not missing the NBA

And look what happened." Much better than Perry's "you want a slick politician" or Cain's "how many thousand did I not harass" . . .

thank you Rex

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) But then again, the 70 wins that team will probably rack up will reduce a lot of people's interest levels. What team?

I feel better than I did at the end of the season. I am looking forward to a new era. I am cautiously optimistic about Dunn. If they do not reach an agreement with Mark, then I will drop to the end of the season point and probably not pay too much attention until May.

That's a miss-d-meaner. The more they miss, da meaner they get. It's a cell - out

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) You really think he'd have retired this year if it wasn't for the scandal? Possibly. It depends on what his milestone was. If it was wins, then yeah, I think he might have. It may have been at his, or the university's, choice.

Thinking about it a little more, my best guess is it is something that they have been thinking about and the GJ stuff proded them along faster.

I wonder what the voter turnout would be for a Cain - Obama election.

It would be helpful to know what other things he may have done. This does seem somewhat normal for someone retiring and 84 years of age. Who knows, it may have something to do with his retirement. But, I can easily see that it is tied to the scandal.

Without out knowing what the ramifications would be with other negotiations, I would say 3/$42 with a decent mutual option for the 4th year. I would also like some list of maybe 5-6 teams that he would accept a trade.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) If you are ordered to clear the park, it isn't clear the park, except for the press. Common practice is to leave the press. Usually it is a protective measure for the government to have witnesses. Some people believe their handgun keeps the government at bay, others believe it is a free press. Sadly, the government, the very people the press keeps in check, has won the minds of the people to the extent that the independent voice is silenced and the people only will believe the government. But as long as the government feeds them their ideological substenance, life is good.

Maybe I picked a poor example, thinking about internet architecture we have the speed individuals can connect through the various providers, then we have a second speed that for example a server talks to another server, how fast can that go.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) There are many other charities not run by child rapists that can take its place. Yes there are. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) Making $130,000 a year by running a charity? That may be commonplace, but it sounds so wrong. Their budget was in the tens of millions with a donor list of Fortune 100 companies. You don't send some $30,000 kid after those. We argue this in Boy Scouts all the time, do you want to pay a guy $20,000 who raises $40,000 or pay a guy $80,000 to raise $200,000?

Zippity do da, I received a perfect job review. As in absolutely no higher numerical score on any rated areas perfect.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) What exactly does this mean? Are you talking about networking speeds between two servers on the same network? That would depend on the network, be it wired or wireless, etc. These days, it's pretty standard to have 100mbit speeds between servers. Gigabit also exists, but I doubt most people have it. I have 450mbit wireless on a few of my computers, and 54mbit wireless on others. In any case, for most things, any of those speeds are fine...and some are downright excessive. Actually I was thinking internet server to server. For example when Google is crawling through soxtalk, what kind of speeds are they able to achieve?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) Changing it in the middle of the offseason? That is just a horrible idea. Seriously, that is just incompetent. I can understand the union wanting this as soon as possible. Now what are they willing to give up to achieve that and will it be enough for the owners to go along with it.
