http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2636795 The article itself is fairly long, you'll need some time, but this is absolutely disgusting what this fake-Dr. Pellman is doing. The worst part, the league believes him. For a quick overview: Dr. Pellman is on the Jets medical staff. his strange research practices have led his group to publish papers stating that concussions DO NOT have any deleterious after effects, and it is ok for players to return to the field ASAP after suffering one. He's also stated that there is no worsening of the injuries or any chronic cumulative effects of ultiple concussions. This flies in the face of the beliefs of thousands of other doctors and researchers. For some reason, the NFL insists on following Pellman's work and ignoring other reports.

bored during the bye week, craig?

No, the proper course of action would be to allow the government to have control of all of our electronics, so they can "protect" us.

I wasnt faulting YOU specifically. I think they are overused in general, when some porn work just as well.

In other news, the gun-related crime rate is expected to drop this upcoming NBA season.

Does this scare the sh-- out of anyone else?

I'm not sure about that either. What i do know is that i cant tell you a single good thingthing any florida politician has ever done or is going to do. What i can tell you is every single bad thing the other guy has done, like how the time he skipped math class in 8th grade has caused him to be a sh------- congressman and a horrible person.

Can W even read?

Toss in the make believe built up waterfront, and the hopes of a big new economy, and you have the make-believe city of the 21st century!

Oh the fun we could have with that shirt here in Tallahassee, the state capital.

Never understood why people having trouble sleeping need to result to pills. Either have a few drinks or knock one out right before bed. (or both) you'll sleep like a baby.

very true. Mountain Dew is going to have a much higher impact on the chess club than the dance club or the outdoors club. I'm interested to see what kind of (*^*&%^$^#response HA comes up with now, after coli, you, and me posted.

I'm with you. i can scan the items quicker myself than the cashier can. The self-checkouts here arent too bad in regards to having to sense whats in your bag. If it complains to you, lean on the sensor a bit and it becomes happy. Also, i cant stand getting in line when someones almost done ringing up, btu then waiting for 1.5 hours while they pay for 1/3 of their stuff with a credit card, 1/3 with a personal check, and 1/3 with food stamps.

I saw this this morning, and had a similar line of thought johnny. From a scientific standpoint, both of the methods are wrong. (this isnt taking away from the simple fact that in this "experiment" they are working with opinions, not fact, and means that the experiment is utter bull sh-- to begin with.) As you said with method 1, you need to toss out the "interested" responders, because they are going to go to the meeting regardless. That group accomplishes nothing. The interested group can be used as a control, but it is not used properly in method 1. It doesn't matter whether or not they prefer snacks. With method 2, you are tossing out the entire experimental group. This whole experiment is wrong because it is focusing on the interested group, when it should be focusing on the interested group. As i stated above, these types of experiments are complete bull sh--, because they are based solely off of opinion. There are way too many variables and controls needed to run an opinion experiment. Some psychology experiments actually involve measurable science, but i always had problems with opinion experiments. However, if someone asked me to properly design this experiment, this is how it would be done. Determining if snacks influence joining the chess club: 1. Get your group of random subjects. 2. Run a preliminary questionnaire asking whether or not the people in the group like snacks. 3. Anyone that doesnt like snacks is dismissed from the experiment. It's now established that everyone involved likes snacks. 4. Question everyone whether or not they are interested in chess. 5. Split the groups into interested and uninterested. 6. Further split the groups in half for each chess preference, ie- interested A, interested B, uninterested A, uninterested B. 7. Both group A's are invited to join the chess club, but no snacks are offered. 8. Both group B's are invited to join the chess club, and snacks ARE offered. 9. This experiment would need to be run multiple times with multiple groups of people. Expected results: The interested groups act as your control. There should be no significant difference in chess club attendance for interested A vs interested B. If there is, your other results are not valid. The real results from the experiment lie in uninterested A vs uninterested B. If B has consistently significantly higher attendance over the course of many trials, then you can say that snacks affect chess club attendance. Thats how to properly run the experiment. But then again, what do i know? i'm just a lowly masters level published scientist.

on the flip side, its good to know some of you think everyone who put on a bills jersey and didnt make the pro bowl every single season of their career sucks and wont amount to anything.

The D will step it up. Watch them improve toward the end of the season. It'll take a bit more than 7 games for the rooks (and the vets) to acclimate to the new defense.

Must be the unions at work. Here in fla, they make the old people hand you a cart as well as say hi and smile.

I cant say the McCargo pick surprised me, because there were pre-draft rumblings about us being high on mccargo. But when we traded up, i thought (or maybe it was hoped) that the pick was going to justice or mangold.

will you be able to see the new peace bridge from this building?

niether's mine. As you have said...thats what work is for.

leave jim alone. He'll get your fries after he gets me my cart here at wal-mart.

So you're like a pigeon. You fly by, take a crap, and then go on your merry way. I am glad you are able to grace us with your excrement.

as did i.
