QUOTE (joeynach @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 05:06 AM) Hmm that is confusing. While we all know that baseball contracts are guaranteed if a player retires then I thought he essentially forgoes his contract and is not paid in full. So why did the orioles need an insurance policy to cover paying out Belle is he chooses to retire. I could the insurance policy being there if Belle say had some season ending injuries and rode the DL for a couple years. IIRC an injury forced him to retire, he did not choose to retire. I always assumed the contract was written that way so that their was some "pain" for the team. The insurance company paid as long as he was an injured "player" so they kept him on the 40-man roster. Baseball contracts are guaranteed from injuries, unlike football.

Yep, the team made these pretty easy.

Thank you, I forgot about WalMart. Another item, I was thinking of sending her a few gift cards, what chains are close by campus? Any ice cream, cookie, coffee, etc? I assume Starbucks, any others?

Daley is to blame!!

Just when I thought there was some bottom we wouldn't cross, we grab shovels and start digging. And the anti crowd that is using this to make some comment about Obama is not mainstream. It is the far right and those that can not formulate an opinion without listing to Rush et al.

between the remaining cities, I am glad Rio was picked

Zzzzzz it is Rio

Is there a check cashing place near campus? Neither my bank nor my daughter's bank is around there.

No forum has a better collection of brainiacks than this one!

Hated that in Bio Lab, I also hate it is Octo0ber and already 90+ degrees here.

Everyone else does

I believe it is more because one party would not want the other party to gain any advantage. It is all about making one party look good and the other bad. What is good for the country takes a back seat. In today's environment, the GOP would have wanted Kennedy to fail and fail badly. (And, the Dems, had Kennedy been a ®, would have done the same.) Rush and the rest of the GOP radio network would have had some cute labels Kennedy's Folly or such and lambasted it at every turn. Pointing out the amount of money, etc. And again, that is just because it is the example we have. The Dems would have tied it to global warming, announced every night how many children and elderly could have been fed with the money being wasted going to the moon, etc. And the real losers? All of us.

Can't, I worked too hard to get to this point.

The results are about what I expected. Sad isn't it? We cannot rally for good, we can only rally against evil.
