Two groups who are probably the happiest, cigar smokers, and MLB. There has not been a good reason for the animosity with Cuba for decades. And what we have been doing for the last century has clearly not worked, so its more than over due to change.

Its more than a job for most coaches. If you are in a job like this, it is closer to a calling and an identity than the crap jobs most of us go to on a daily basis. Even the money can be more of a competitive angle than a practical angle. Their wives probably enjoy the cash flow more than they do themselves.

I would guess they might look to add a couple guys late. They said they're still looking for a LB for the fall and might look at a JUCO OL as well - like the one who was at the spring game. We are 3 heavy as things stand now, and need at least 3 to clear up before the rest of the incoming class gets here. I can't see a point in rushing to fill the last 3 when the roster is over 110 with all the walk ons. Just save them for the next class and not take a last second gamble.

Hell, for my line of work, if they'd pay me what I can get in DFW, I'd be up there in a New York minute with my family (well...really, living in Lincoln, working in Omaha). Problem is, pay for the companies I've checked out isn't competitive with DFW or other major metropolitan areas with similar cost of living. What industry has that much of a wage gap?

Make no mistake, the ones trying to unravel the deal framework are not really motivated by 'Obama getting the credit" they are in the pocket of the defense contractors who desperately want us involved in another long term foreign military operation that brings in billions of dollars in revenue to their businesses. Tom Cotton is your poster boy, talks about bombing Iran, then goes to a very secretive meeting of defense contractors.

Yes, lets have a guy that doesn't have a college degree be the leader of our country. I dont' disagree with basically what you said but I find it funny at the same time. I have had many conversations on forums like this with liberal people who believe jobs that require a college degree are elitist and do nothing but hurt poor people and are designed to keep the poor in their place. Most degrees are garbage. Unless you have something like a medical, engineering or other sort of math/science degree, they hold little value, and should not have the weight and clout that they do. That said, Walker is no different than the rest of the GOP parade of idiots. Greedy, hypocritical and holding onto mentalities and ideas of eras past.

The more prevalent that legalized pot becomes, the more the price will drop. There will be no revenue on marijuana when it is grown by the quarter section and planted by John Deeres and not aging pony-tailed hippies on patios. The price will be slightly less than that of good alfalfa hay...so figure the government's share of $150 a ton... Dude, do you math much? I don't think you understand how taxes on things like tobacco and alcohol work. Legalizing micro breweries didn't make beer unprofitable, and gov's pull plenty of taxes on alcohol. Regardless if there is some price drop on the low end weed(high end stuff will remain much more expensive), govs still will be pulling millions in taxes. Add the benefit of not expending money in policing, prosecuting, and jailing people for weed. To say nothing of the crime decrease that has accompanied legalization. what else should we legalize to save money, meth, heroine? Not even remotely the same. Don't sit here and pretend they are related.

you mean just like professional athletes? I am an amateur competitive cyclist and I abstain from both... If you are serious enough about doing well, you won't do either as they will hinder your performance as well as land you in trouble as well. You clearly have never read stories from Olympic Villages....

The only way he's failing a test at the combine from smoking in Dec, is if they did a follicle test and not a urine test. I used to date someone who administered drug screenings, I don't buy RG's timeline. I also could not give a rip about weed. There was even discussion that pro sports were going to stop testing for it as there has been some early findings that it has beneficial qualities for various recovery needs.

You're 100%, but remember, they're all about love and if you don't agree with them, they'll f*cking kill you... Makes sense, as it is originally a cult to a Canaanite war god.

The method you are describing is exactly what I would call the buffet. The crimes and punishments I listed are directly out the the Bible, from the exact same chapter where people pull the justification for being anti-gay. Also the same chapter that would prohibit eating bacon, or any other pork product. During the Enlightenment and Renaissance Western culture changed and aspects like I listed were no longer enforced. Basically, Christianity did what it has always done, changed to continue its existence. If the crimes and punishments from the Old Testament were sought to be enforced in the modern world, it would vanish. Western culture simply will not tolerate 1st century mentalities in the modern world.

He is kinda having his point proven though. There were statements made on TV by people associated with the police that could easily be taken as threats to find a reason to arrest him.

There was an article in the World Herald about a week about regarding something similar in Omaha. Employers were having a very hard time finding people for jobs, and were having to expand into people they would not normally hire, or sweeten the deals to get people in the door. Though in Omaha the unemployment rate is something like 3% so that may or may not be the same up there.

At the time, they were Christian lands that had been taken. So before the bible was written, the time commonly referred to as BC, that part of the world was christian? I'm sure he's only counting from the time the Christians conquered the places the first time. A good chunk of the Old Testament tells tales of conquest, including the slaughter of children. Its interesting that for a religion that likes to make itself out to be the only true one that existed from the dawn of time, there were a hell of a lot of other religions in the area and mentioned repeatedly by the Bible itself.

What do you mean by face value? What's with everyone selling literary genre and interpretation study so short all of the sudden? Face value is definitely not the way the Bible was intended to be taken. As to your last sentence, I don't understand that at all either. The central tenants of Christianity are love God and love people. A lot of Christians are striving towards changing society, but the ones that can be linked to ISIS in any way, shape, or form, aren't Christians. See, you are already into the buffet mentality. Not at face value. You either get to claim "The Word of The Lord" like clergy are prone to using, or you have a book that has more in common with The Brothers Grimm. Your book of love openly calls for women who have premarital sex to be stoned to death. For those who curse their parents, to be put to death. Adultery, death. Apostates, death. It openly condones slavery, and has rules regarding it even. Who is actively trying to create a place with rules exactly like these? ISIS.

But at the same time you don't retain a much information as you could, because you don't see it as important since you can go back and look it up at will You retain different information, not less. Its beyond a cop out to say people can't remember anything because they can look up info.

Inerrant means a lot of different things to different people. So basically what you're saying, at least from my understanding, is that the Bible is................something. Not really. Either every word of the Bible is to be taken at face value, or not. And I can assure you it is 100% treated like a buffet where Christians pick and choose what they want to adhere to. This is not even debatable, or they would be striving to make a society that would very closely resemble what ISIS is doing.

Probably because it tends to stay out of science in general, or just throws the word "miracle" down to explain it away. And you would actually be amazed at what the ancients actually knew with some regards to science. The Egyptians didn't build the Pyramids by accident. And people are still trying to explain how they did something we would use heavy equipment to accomplish. True dat. But I was thinking more of common misconceptions of the time. Like that the earth is flat. Or heavier than air flight is impossible. Given that there is a thousand pages written by umpteen different authors 2,000 to 3,000, it seems likely some odd anti-scientific stuff would have been mentioned. I'm not pointing to that, saying it proves anything. Or doesn't prove anything. I just find it interesting. Also keep in mind the Catholic Church has done a number of edits/translations over the centuries, and a passage here or there could easily be removed if it was going to bring up issues. And that for the most part, things like flying or the planet as a whole were not going to be concepts the vast majority of people ever thought about. Science Fiction would not show up in literature for centuries yet. To say nothing of the fact that large parts of the book as a whole borrow from much older mythology and story telling.

In 2012 I could see that number being accurate. That was Taylor's best season by far, and he was actually pretty good about finding the open man that year. That was one of two years under Pelini with a QB hitting over 60% of their passes. Ganz in '08 being the other.

That cell phone thing is such garbage. Because we no longer need to memorize phone numbers does not make us morons. We have so much more information we deal with on a daily basis, using a 'contacts' list instead of memorizing phone numbers is no argument. And really, how many numbers did people used to memorize? People were much more prone to keeping most of that info in a paper format, either a little black book, a rolodex, or a stack of business cards.

And KETV reported that court paperwork shows that she alleges that this is the 4th time it has occurred this year.

One of the reports I have read on it amounted to they were arguing loud enough that someone else called the cops, and when they arrived her injuries were visible, at which point the police arrested him. Why he was not out of jail quickly is that Lancaster County does not release domestic violence suspects until after the arraignment, which should have been today. Really not shocking that Riley didn't hire him. With "treating people the right way" being a critical qualification, he clearly did not fit the mold.
