  1. It was explained on CNN that the govt didn't have phones that allowed for multiple email accounts. She didn't want to have to keep switching between two phones. Classified emails don't go through those phones anyways, there's a seperate system that's used for example when overseas that are secure and managed by career employees. She broke no law, it wasn't in effect until after she left office. Kerry is the first SoS to use the govt account exclusively. Any work email she sent to another govt official was backed up and saved on their end, so there are no missing govt emails. It's no different then if she had two seperate accounts, in the end the work emails are saved, the personal emails are hers to do with as she wishes. Just like Jeb Bush who used a private account for state business in Florida, and had to go through the same process of seperating work from private emails, it wasn't illegal. So you can stay fixated on the latest gocha Clinton conspiracy theories, or start vetting and decide which Republican is going to lose in the general election.
  2. Reasonable explainations for reasonable people. For the Clinton haters, no explaination will ever suffice.
  3. I went to the Rocketship 7 show, whose set was on the right side of the room, and Dialing for Dollars which was on the left. It seemed much smaller than you envisioned on tv. I spilled my bottle of orange pop on my corduroy pants.
  4. For Pegula it's a PR decision, and a smart move. He doesn't want to lose the good will generated about the team since Rex was hired.
  5. Still think he's the 2nd best RB on the team today. I would hate to see him go to another AFC East team.
  6. There was a Twilight Zone episode about that. An army tank crew ended up fighting Indians in the 1800's.
  7. Why can't Daylight Savings Time move forward at 3pm on Monday?
  8. It's going to ruin Ladies Nights in bars. Dudes will start cross dressing for cheaper drinks.
  9. Time for Boeheim and Gross to resign. Why should the players pay for their decisions. http://www.syracuse.com/orangesports/index.ssf/2015/03/ncaa_finds_syracuse_violated_drug_policy_committed_academic_fraud_gave_extra_ben.html Syracuse, N.Y. Syracuse University committed more than a dozen infractions of NCAA rules over 10 years, including a failure to exercise institutional control. These were among the findings of wrongdoings: Lack of institutional control SU failed for 10 years to exercise enough control over its athletic program and "employed deficient monitoring systems involving academics, drug-testing, and athletes' relationship and engagement with the community." The NCAA singled out men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim for failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance over 10 years. "The institution permitted athletics success to supersede NCAA standards of conduct," the NCAA said. "Student-athletes and institutional staff committed violations freely or did not know that their conduct violated NCAA legislation. Many of those violations went undiscovered for years." Academic misconduct The NCAA found that an SU athlete submitted a paper in a course he'd already completed as a way to improve his course grade and restore his NCAA eligibility. The submitted paper was prepared with the help of two employees of the athletic department who no longer work at SU. In the the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, a part-time tutor and three football players committed academic fraud when they provided false information on athletes' involvement in an internship program to a professor who later gave the athletes academic credit. The part-time tutor was Hank Leo, who's the chief executive officer of the Oneida YMCA. The internships were required for a degree in Child and Family Studies, a popular major among athletes in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamic. In 2004-05, 18 percent (24 of 134) of football players were enrolled in that major, according to university records. As a result of SU's investigation into that misconduct, the university found other instances of athletic department employees providing inappropriate edits on drafts of papers or take-home tests for three other athletes. Under the direction of SU's director of basketball operations, the university's student-athlete support services staff operated contrary to institutional policies and procedures, the NCAA said. That director, Stan Kissel, resigned in December 2012. The NCAA found that Kissel, along with an SU support services mentor, engaged in academic fraud for basketball center Fab Melo. Extra benefits SU discovered and reported to the NCAA that a former university representative and employee of the YMCA in Oneida County paid $8,335 to five SU athletes. The payments did not coincide with YMCA-related events. The representative was Jeffrey Cornish. SU's lawyers asked school employees whether Cornish provided checks to SU athletes from an account he managed. In 2003, Cornish drove SU basketball star Carmelo Anthony to a speech and stopped at a neighbor's house so Anthony could sign autographs. In 2005, basketball players Terrence Roberts and Hakim Warrick attended basketball tournament that Cornish was involved in. In 2001, football players R.J. Anderson and Kyle Johnson participated in a reading event at the Oneida YMCA. The YMCA sued Cornish in 2008, claiming he set up a bank account using the YMCA's not-for-profit tax ID number without the agency's permission and diverted as much as $338,462 to his own benefit. The NCAA found that Cornish paid SU athletes out of that account. Failing to follow its drug-testing policy SU discovered and self-reported to the NCAA that between 2001 and 2009, the athletic department administered drug tests to athletes in a way that was inconsistent with the written policy. In those years, Syracuse didn't follow its written drug-testing policy. "Like many of the other severe violations involved in this case, the institution's actions regarding its dismissal of the written drug testing policies and procedures were aimed at preserving student-athletes' ability to compete for the men's basketball program," the NCAA report said.
  10. Sorry, I thought I was alone. The loud bass from the car next to me at a stop light. Dogs barking, especially at night.
  11. The mean, or median?
  12. If only you could be your own woman.
  13. Do you think that just because a seat is cold that it's never been used before? They reserved it for you? At least it tells you that it works.
  14. Better than wet ones
  15. How's his footwork on floor mats?
  16. Gives new meaning to Connecticut Yankee.
  17. Is that a new category on Jeopardy?
  18. You're confused, that was your mattress. I'd pass, too much cushion.
  19. From December: "He's still working in the football realm. He's keeping himself in shape, and he's really looking to hit it hard, from what I hear," WR Vincent Jackson said. "I'm hoping he gets another opportunity this upcoming training camp, and I think somebody should give him a chance. He's a very talented kid, despite his past problems or issues or anything that went on here. Everybody deserves a second chance, a fresh slate." Freeman went 10-6 in his first full season as a starter in 2010 under Raheem Morris. He even set club records for touchdown passes (27) and passing yards (4,065) in 2012. But a clash with Greg Schiano, the coach who succeeded Morris after he was fired, and accusations that his voluntary participation in the league's substance abuse program was leaked devolved into Freeman being released. " 'Free' had all the intangibles, all the makings to be a great player in this league," DT Gerald McCoy said. "Just some things were missing. I pray that he gets those going and comes back in the league and does what he's supposed to do." http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/ex-bucs-qb-josh-freeman-working-to-return-to-nfl/2210777
  20. He smoked when he was younger. He said he wished he could go back and never start.
  21. If you can make a living on the money, take the job that will make you the most happy. Dream jobs don't come around too often.
  22. Yes, but very gently. Looks fragile.
  23. You bastard! Next you'll say Elvis is dead. They should take Leonard to the Genesis planet.
