Where is this supposed article from Rochester DandC. I have failed to find it.

Link?

Seems like Ramius is saying that that is in the lease. That being said, there's a chance that a court may not enforce that part of the lease if pressed I would reckon.

Are they calling a pimp a hustler or a gigolo or male prostitute a hustler?

He would have held Moulds until July, waited for a team to have an injury to a wide receiver and then traded him. And then we would have gone 5-11.

Conclusion: Liberal professors do not have the power to influence students. Conservative opinion pages and shows can control the country. Interesting.

Hillary Clinton will win reelection without trying. She only cares about the presidency and the Bills do not get her there.

The motivation for putting this out there was to kill some time and figuring that since Levy recently put an end to all Losman rumors that people might have a different opinion. I wasn't aware that there had been so many similar polls posted recently. But at least this afforded everyone an opportunity to shoot off their sarcastic load for the day. I will now know not to step out of line in the future.

Just put on your Dick Juaron hat and give your opinion.

Certainly that would be a good deal for us, but I think that teams normally value this year's first round higher than next year's first round. I think it's sort of like the PV of $ idea... so you'd probably have to throw in a 5th rounder or something at least.

Gieco employs many talented young people.

I didn't have a chance to read through everything, but on first glance he seems to recognize the problem, I just don't necessarily believe in the solution. There's a belief behind what he is saying that the government can step in and encourage this industry or that one and plan the development of the city in "smarter" ways. You can succeed that way, but I have my doubts that you will. The government has in the past shown to be a terrible predictor of what will work in the economy. It is better to let true entrepreneurs the freedom and the incentives to succeed. To do that, you need to cut taxes and take the hit on spending. He mentions the downward spiral of taxes in that Syracuse speech for example, but then does not propose cutting taxes and spending. Perhaps I am wrong and this will work, but I think the solution is actually quite simple.

I am just curious. He has these stirring ads about how terrible it is here, yet I have my doubts that he will do anything to alleviate the main problem here: too high taxes. Will he solve things the same way he solves things as the AG? Will he threaten to sue any companies that cut jobs or leave the area completely? Seriously, the guy's going to be governor. Tell me why I should be optimistic.

They are the leagues "smartest businessmen" so they of course know how to pick a CEO just like the smartest businessmen in the corporate world. For some reason, it takes a lot of talent to make a lot of money in the largest markets in the league.

That's an interesting question. ISPs have given up trying to make a big deal about people sharing a connection in household using a router (I think most do not prohibit it-at least not anymore). So for that matter, is sharing it among neighboring apartments stealing? I mean at some point, the ISP needs to get some money when new people are using its service. If it is stealing from the ISP-permission from the paying customer seems immaterial.

Wasn't the state going to pitch in half of that or something?

It's not just whether someone will prosecute, like with illegal aliens, but also whether courts actually will read the statutes to say that this behavior is prohibited.

Rumor...

I removed it myself. On further reflection I thought it was a little bit rude and unnecessary. I probably should have made sure to leave an edited by etc. thing there so it was not hidden that the post was different.

I don't know. It seemed like a lot of time was wasted on David Chase just ranting about his feelings on political/religious matters. These rants seem awkward and forced and don't seem to move the story much at all.

I agree with you there on both.

Perhaps my generalization about people like this was uncalled for, but I think your dismissal of this evaluations is rather extreme. It seems like this is a recent opinion of his. These comments are grouped to the more recent versions of his class. You act like the article can be dismissed as some sort of hack-job done by a psuedo-scientist, yet the things he says seem to match up with these evaluations. He could indeed be considered the best professor that these students had, but that has little to do with what he does or does not advocate. Rather, that he is so convincing and popular worries me more.

1. I looked into his credentials to see whether this guy was just some crank or serious scientist. I have no doubts that Dr. Pianka is a serious scientist. 2. Credentials are irrelevant in evaluating an opinion such as this one. I know nothing about the guy who was there writing about this. However, his accounts seem likely by another who was there (and supports what he said) and two evaluations from a recent class he taught. And see above, these were posted on his own web site. 3. You assume that I am sort of country rube that is anti-science or something. I assume that fits your world-view and makes it easier to dismiss this. (I suppose that might explain while I have such a good relationship and respect for my sister-finishing up a PhD in animal behavior-and my physics-professor father.) 4. Basically you and these blogs are using this to create the normal strawman about academic freedom and the anti-science religious types. It is so peripheral to this issue, it's not even funny. Listen, I wanted to give this guy to the benefit of the doubt and I hope to be proven otherwise. However, there is too much out there not to take this seriously.

From his own web site's page on student evaluation: Student Evals of Pianka

I am not sure if the guy says that Ebola for humans is currently airborne. He believes that it will evolve that way. I am not familiar with the guy who wrote this article, just found the article--so don't assume that I agree with any of his other views. There are people who are worried about overpopulation because they are worried about the health of humanity and there are people who are worried about overpopulation because they are worried about the impact on the Earth. Then there are people who hate people and prefer animals and wish they were less people around so they could better enjoy their obsession with animals. That is what this guy is. Overpopulation has been one of the most overblown problems in the last century. The reality is that as a society becomes richer and more educated, the cost of children become increasingly onerous. (See Europe--and to some extent, America. Births have substantially decreased in the developed world. Developing nations explode in population growth when diseases-that held back child survival-vanishes. Still hewing to old rates of births that accounted for these diseases, the population explodes. Soon, though, birth rates adjust because the onerous cost of so many healthy children make people change their behavior. Betting on the downfall of humanity has been a sucker bet for a long time. See green revolution, for example... I can respect people who just think that we should dominate the Earth less than we do, but unless they want to help the problem themselves by killing themselves or having less children, they lack the moral high-ground to stand on. About 100 lizards could fit in just the physical space the guy occupies. That he has not ceded this space to them by shooting himself in the face, makes him seem very selfish. *** On a related note, I find it kind of funny when liberals complain about overpopulation when lower birth rates threaten the very survival of the social welfare state pyramid scheme.
