  1. Is the answer: anyone who worked at the State Department under her tenure that might have had any possibility of receiving or sending an e-mail Madame Secretary would prefer to not get FOIA'd?
  2. Thought that was his point. Even if the Bills lose a coordinator to a HC job somewhere, they will be in the mix, at worse, to get the next coordinator that'll be in the mix for HC openings.
  3. Psst. Somebody want to tell her the Mao lookalike contest was LAST Thursday?
  4. Really? The only people in the entire world that don't believe the case for anthropomorphic induced climate change has been compelling made are "RRAC's?" No hyperbole there.
  5. Brady's method isn't just higher risk gamesmanship - it is flat out cheating. He's directing the ballboy to steal the balls from the refs and then alter them after they were inspected. And intent isn't at issue, it's action that's the issue. You can intend to have some of other peoples' money w/out "working." You can panhandle - annoying, but not cheating; or you can pick their pockets - annoying & cheating. While the latter method will likely yield more cash, it definitely is higher risk and entails more consequences. But the cheating isn't what will be his downfall; it'll be his obstruction of the investigation.
  6. Can't see how he doesn't sit a few games for obstructing the league's investigation and lying. They have to sit him at least 1/2 a season or nobody will ever work w/ the league on an investigation again.
  7. Assuming the Eulers stay on track, the Sabres are set up to have the 2 best Americans in NHL history: LaLaLaLaLaLaFontaine & Jack. Pretty ####ing cool.
  8. Greg, why does it have to be one or the other? It could be both.
  9. Yup. Tiebreaker is ROW. Yotes gave 19. Sabres have 14. W/ only 3 left, Sabres have the edge.
  10. After all games played into 4/4, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 2 Arizona: 11 Edmonton: 16 Tiebreaker can't flip, so a tie goes to Sabres. There are currently 12 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 2 teams. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 2-1-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  11. After all games played into 4/4, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 4 Arizona: 11 Edmonton: 16 Tiebreaker can't flip, so a tie goes to Sabres. There are currently 14 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently 14 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres needed 1 point to break their way to eliminate Edmonton and they got it, so Edmonton was eliminated tonight. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 1-2-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  12. After all games played through 4/2, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 13 Edmonton: 16 In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 4 (of 5 remaining) games prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning all 5 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 18 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently 20 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres need 3 points to break their way to eliminate Edmonton so they could go 3-1-1 and still clinch 29th regardless of what Edmonton does. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 1-4-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  13. Presumably so shoppers can tell which outfits will keep the shopper warm. Who'd buy a sweater that freezes a mannequin's breasts off?
  14. After all games played through March, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 15 Edmonton: 22 In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 5 (of 6 remaining) games prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning all 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 24 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 22 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres need 3 points to break their way to eliminate Edmonton so they could go 4-1-1 and still clinch 29th regardless of what Edmonton does. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 2-4-0. Tomorrow night's game is most likely a W, so in their last 5 the Sabres need to go 1-4-0 or worse. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  15. Russia does not recognize petulant, decadent Americans as voice for Poland. Go back to standing behind France. If you would like to speak for Poland, agree to our reasonable requests.
  16. That's what the post above yours just said.
  17. After all games played today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: ELIMINATED Toronto was eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 6 (of 7 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 28 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 26 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona on Monday night. If the Sabres lose in regulation, then they can go 4-2 in their remaining 6 and still lock up 30th. No other H-t-H's between the 3 teams.
  18. The peaceful Russian people do not need your surrender yet. You can continue practicing that manouver until the time is appropriate.
  19. After the Arizona game today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 10 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: 27 Toronto could be eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to at least win 6 (of 8 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to OT but still winning 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. There aren't enough games left for TO to get the tiebreaker. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 30 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton and Buffalo / Toronto. There are currently only 28 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona and Buffalo and Toronto. No other H-t-H's between the 4 teams.
  20. Nyet. Ours are reasonable requests to resolve an unreasonable situation anything short is an affront to the valient Russian peoples.
  21. The history of recent years, and in particular the painful events of the past 2 days, have shown the existence of a subversive movement with the object of detaching a part of the territories of Russia from the Motherland. The movement, which had its birth under the eye of the Polish Government, has gone so far as to make itself manifest on both sides of the Russian frontier in the shape of acts of terrorism and a series of outrages and murders.Far from carrying out the formal undertakings contained in the declaration of the UN Charter, the Polish Government has done nothing to repress these movements. It has permitted the criminal machinations of various societies and associations directed against the Motherland, and has tolerated unrestrained language on the part of the press, the glorification of the perpetrators of outrages, and the participation of officers and functionaries in subversive agitation.It has permitted an unwholesome propaganda in public instruction; in short, it has permitted all manifestations of a nature to incite the Polish population to hatred of the Motherland and contempt of its institutions.This culpable tolerance of the Polish Government had not ceased at the moment when the events of March 27 last proved its fatal consequences to the whole world. It results from the depositions and confessions of the criminal perpetrators of the outrage of March 27 that the Kaliningrad assassinations were planned in Warsaw; that the arms and explosives with which the murderers were provided had been given to them by Polish officers and functionaries belonging to the Solidarity; and finally, that the passage into Russia of the criminals and their arms was organized and effected by the chiefs of the Polish frontier service.The above-mentioned results of the magisterial investigation do not permit the Russian Government to pursue any longer the attitude of expectant forbearance which they have maintained for years in face of the machinations hatched in Warsaw, and thence propagated in the territories of the Motherland. The results, on the contrary, impose on them the duty of putting an end to the intrigues which form a perpetual menace to the tranquillity of the Motherland.To achieve this end the Rightful Russian Government see themselves compelled to demand from the Polish Government a formal assurance that they condemn this dangerous propaganda against the Motherland; in other words the whole series of tendencies, the ultimate aim of which is to detach from the Motherland territories belonging to it and that they undertake to suppress by every means this criminal and terrorist propaganda.In order to give a formal character to this undertaking the Polish Government shall publish on the front page of their "Official Journal" of the 29th of March the following declaration:"The Government of Poland condemns the propaganda directed against Russia - i.e., the general tendency of which the final aim is to detach from the Russian Motherland territories belonging to it, and they sincerely deplore the fatal consequences of these criminal proceedings.The Polish Government regrets that Polish officers and functionaries participated in the above-mentioned propaganda and thus compromised the good neighbourly relations to which the Polish Government were solemnly pledged by their declaration within the United Nations Charter.The Rightful Polish Government, who disapprove and repudiate all idea of interfering or attempting to interfere with the destinies of the inhabitants of any part whatsoever of Russia, consider it their duty formally to warn officers and functionaries, and the whole population of Poland, that henceforward they will proceed with the utmost rigor against persons who may be guilty of such machinations, which they will use all their efforts to anticipate and suppress."This declaration shall simultaneously be communicated to the Polish army as an order of the day by His Honorable the President and shall be published in the "Official Bulletin" of the army.The Polish Government shall further undertake: (1) To suppress any publication which incites to hatred and contempt of the Russian Leadership and the general tendency of which is directed against its territorial integrity; (2) To dissolve immediately the society styled "Soldiarity," to confiscate all its means of propaganda, and to proceed in the same manner against other societies and their branches in Poland which engage in propaganda against the Russian Motherland. The Polish Government shall take the necessary measures to prevent the societies dissolved from continuing their activity under another name and form; (3) To eliminate without delay from public instruction in Poland, both as regards the teaching body and also as regards the methods of instruction, everything that serves, or might serve, to foment the propaganda against Russia; (4) To remove from the military service, and from the administration in general, all officers and functionaries guilty of propaganda against the Russian Peoples whose names and deeds the Russian Government reserve to themselves the right of communicating to the Government; (5) To accept the collaboration in Poland of representatives of the Russian Government for the suppression of the subversive movement directed against the territorial integrity of the Russian Motherland; (6) To take judicial proceedings against accessories to the plot of the 27th of March who are on Polish territory; delegates of the Russian Government will take part in the investigation relating thereto; (7) To proceed without delay to the arrest of gatorman and of the individual named Bird Dog, a Polish State employee, who have been compromised by the results of the magisterial inquiry at St Petersberg; (8) To prevent by effective measures the cooperation of the Polish authorities in the illicit traffic in arms and explosives across the frontier, to dismiss and punish severely the officials of the frontier service at Kaliningrad guilty of having assisted the perpetrators of the Kaliningrad crime by facilitating their passage across the frontier; (9) To furnish the Russian Government with explanations regarding the unjustifiable utterances of high Polish officials, both in Poland and abroad, who, notwithstanding their official position, have not hesitated since the crime of the 27th of March to express themselves in interviews in terms of hostility to the Russian Government; and, finally,(10) To notify the Rightful Russian Government without delay of the execution of the measures comprised under the preceding heads. The Russian Government expect the reply of the Polish Government at the latest by 6 o'clock on Monday evening the 30th of March.
  22. We demand Poland allow our inspectors to investigate this horrible crime against the Russian people and all of humanity. We know nothing about the men in black riding in tanks in your Eastern territory. We also demand Ukraine and Geogia to allow our inspectors in to investigate this horrible crime against Russia.
  23. Actually, since there is no realistic way for the Sabres to tie for last AND lose the tiebreaker (behind Edmonton by 3 in ROW & behind Arizona by 4 in ROW) Sabres M# is 15.
  24. Jay, I expect I'd be in for 4 +/- 1. Thanks for setting this up again.
