the dividing line Thursday three
Category one
1. Either will do but Krispy Kreme—as long as they stay solvent.
2. Curls—I’ll eat puffs but only if a flood cuts us off from the store.
3. Vanilla
Category two
1. I never could understand the ground swell for Mary Ann. She was nice but Ginger was great looking.
2. Only people who eat cheese puffs liked Warren or would wear sandals with socks.
Category three
1. shotgun – I’m not a good shot
2. In a way they are all pros so why not watch the best ones.
3. What ever my wife buys me.
4. electric –I’m a multitasker in the morning
5. Paper when I can find ‘em.
6. see above the Warren answer.
7. My wife doesn’t like going to Wal-Mart. I love going on Friday night—I treat it like going to a fair. It’s fun and exciting.
8. Dog
9. Trying to move to mp3.
10. The one that set this off and Terry didn’t include –Khaki—I’m just not a jeans person.

this is happening more and more
Bankers’ hours?
This is going on in bigger cities already and why not. We demand that we can buy other things during the day and on weekends, so why not our financial stuff. I’ve taught on Friday night and on Saturday before and would do it again; what makes bankers think they are immune to market pressures orthat they are
‘better” then the rest of us. In fact I think lawyers should be open at night and on weekends also.

The junior level class is taking a test right now. That one is all MC. They have been at it for about 25 minutes I think many will be finished in about 5 minutes.

I found this article informative and helpful
Las Vegas SUN: Spouse As Next of Kin Law Has Many Roots
Not overly biased, well maybe some. It does seem to take a swipe at the religious right who don’t want the husband to have rights over those of the parents.
I haven’t linked to many conservative pundits who seem to have come unglued over this issue. I just wait for what they next think the government should change the rules about.

yes I am an idiot—why do you ask?
I was busy with a second copier while 25 copies of a version of the test were running off. I usually check the first one off—I didn’t check until I was back in my office. That version had the answer key as part of the test. I’m glad I found it before they took it.

not really much going on just dumb grunt work
Nothing really much fun—I’m making out tests and running them off. All my students have tests tomorrow except for the online section. Tomorrow will be fun as I’ll be doing some research stuff. However today is all about testing – I don’t even have any advisees coming by. That might actually be fun.

Don’t really want to say the Pope is not looking good but Michael Schiavo is flying over to meet with him.
Interesting news article having to do with the Schiavo video and our perceptions. Good on a couple of levels.

SCOTUS has turned down the appeal. I heard the parents this morning and they are calling this “judicial murder.” You take your chance with the courts you sort of have to go with what they say.

the spring has sprung edition of the Thursday Three
This one is all about the spring—
1. What is the ting you like most about spring? The best thing about spring is that it’s not summer.
2. What do you dislike about it—it is closer to summer.. Grass needs to be cut.
3. Spring in the title—how about a saying as in “as he spoke to the group he spring loaded them into the pissed off position.”

something like this was bound to happen if the brands kept getting blurred
News
This report says that either Buick or Pontiac might be discontinued. They say it is due to lack of investment over the years. It is also due to Chevy having every different type of car.

kind of exciting around here tonight
My son received a call from a college tennis coach. The coach has seen his tape saw him earlier. He wants to talk about a possible scholarship. Private school so it will probably cost us lots of money as tennis doesn’t usually get lots of full rides.
This isn't a sure thing but he is exicted.

No because of anything to do with Clinton. Because he can rule on the case and not feel threatened in either case.

you can’t tell the players without a scorecard
This should be my last post about the Schiavo case. The Dems who for years thought everything was a federal issue now love the states. The republicans now are in love with the federal courts.
Since I am [perhaps was] a republican let me tell them something: don’t come to me any more with issues of states rights. If Schiavo isn’t then abortions isn’t; if Schiavo isn’t then capital punishment isn’t; is Schiavo isn’t then gay marriage isn’t.
The party has sold its soul for political expediency.

why don’t the officers get “allegedly?”
WRAL.com - News - Halifax Deputies Shoot Man After He Allegedly Kills Girlfriend
They saw him beating her and allegedly he killed her. They shot him. I saw in the Atlanta case the person “allegedly’ killed the judge. You can have people caught on video doing something and the word used is allegedly. But let the cops be accused of something and that word is not used.
Don’ think it should be used for either here.

Las Vegas SUN: GOP Governors Cut State Workers' Rights
The days of organized labor being the untouchable force appear to be over. That can happen when you over play your hand. Once I see that the most you can do to me isn’t that bad – then I can take some action.

Yahoo! News - White House: Schiavo Bill Not a Precedent
How does the White House or anyone in congress know what will be a precedent? This is a bad piece of legislation and runs the risk of being a horribly bad bill once the judges get their hands on it.
If you get the idea that I’m still steamed about the way the congress and the White House have acted—“you are correct, sir.

let’s get this straight
If for some reason my wife doesn’t remember, if I ever get like the woman in Florida—don’t let me get that far.
Stop it earlier than that. Don’t listen to the docs—they will always find another treatment that might work. Please don’t listen to anyone in politics. Unhook me at the earliest possible moment.

I think this is going to damage the republicans
ABC News: DeLay Says He's Not Giving Up Schiavo Fight
This case could be the fault line that divides the conservatives from the libertarians. It really seems to have moved beyond whether she lives or dies. My wife and don’t agree as to the removal of the feeding tube but both of us are concerned that congress thinks they need to become involved.
The GOP is showing exactly what I never liked about them—a willingness to become involved in my personal life using their agenda. They are acting just like the liberals.

UAB wins and as a bonus beats LSU
College Basketball Tournament Brackets
Sorry Ms. Janis but being an Ole Miss graduate as well as a Blazer, having one of my teams beat LSU is always great.
UAB gets Arizona next so we are not likely to get to the round of 16 this year. But hey, last year they beat Kentucky in the second round.
I’m not much of a basketball fan but I must say I’m getting used to having a team in the NCAA and also getting past the first round.
So far it looks like a bust for the SEC.

The musical tribute to Larry
1. I can sort of play the electric bass in a very country way. What is a county way you might ask—well someone might. Here is what I hear a coulnty bass player should do in deciding what to play on each song—“think of the very least you should play here then play half of that.
2. I would really like to play the fiddle—and it fits for today because Irish fiddle styles are my favorite.
3. I guess you could add guitar to that but I’m taking a guitar class now. Some of you might want this method for your churches—go here to find the method and the details -- Fretboard Fellowship. I’ll be glad to tell you about my experience.

it looks like we are hiring a new coach today
ECU expected to name new coach today
The new coach is an assistant now but had been a head coach before and had a bad record in four years. Maybe he learned something fro that experience but since many people liked the old coach [also with more losses than wins] I don’t see hiring one with a similar record will help the situation.

Well, outings and corporate appearances don’t really count—do they? The tour thinks that the appearance might not be right—well duh.

why does Mother Nature hate our spring break
It seems that whenever we have spring break the weather is not good. Today it is in the low 40’s and wet. Sure makes me want to do springy type things. Maybe I should have gone to Florida.

what a long wait for such a poor post
The nautical Thursday Three
As to the first two questions—we weren’t boat people. However, when I lose the weight the prednisone has caused me to gain—I’m buying a sea kayak. Right now I’d extend over the sides—Ok for buoyancy but not for balance or aesthetics.
Where would I go if money were not a problem.. Well, before the press got hold of it I figured out that taking a cruise was as cheap as going to a nursing home or assisted living facility. Albeit with better food, scenery, activities and the ship has a bar.

a battle for the soul and the future of American labor
The Beaufort Gazette: Labor splits on focus of AFL-CIO's efforts
Do they spend their money on organizing or on political activities? Traditionally the craft unions have been big on organizing and this is the direction taken mostly since Sam Gompers. A move to less organizing and more political, [how could there be more? Well there could] would signal the continuing of a trend toward European style unionism.

Cooking smells: chitlins—don’t even go there; duck—way too much fatty smelling fat even for me; brussell's sprouts—bad to eat worse to smell
I can’t stand to watch any or all reality shows—occasionally I get trapped into watching one with my wife [the list includes American Idol] I’d rather smell chitlins. On cable, The Sopranos, fun loving mobsters and their families don’t interest me and “the Family guy” everyone says I should like it – maybe I’m just being contrary
What am I immune to? Well it better not smell—kid sickness will get me if I’m down wind. I can usually eat all sorts of things made from combinations of other things. In terms of real immunity—I don’t seem to get the flu or cold sores or the something going round stomach bugs.

Las Vegas SUN: Young Murderer Cheers Death Penalty Ruling
In act two five people on the court will decide, probably using EU rulings, that life without parole is cruel and unusual, especially for young people. They really should be given a chance. That would be the nuanced view. I think this will come up in a few years. Not for a while because they are saying life means life at least for now.

working from home today
I don’t have class on Tuesday so I can stay here and work. Most of what I need from the library is online and the statistics program I use is loaded on my computer thus why not stay here. Especially since my cold and earache have come back.
