How I missed that is beyond me....Thanks Mavric

Why doesn't the Nebraska School Activities Associate post live results from the state swim meet? It's fairly easy to do and doesn't cost much. They do it for track.

He thought there was a burglar in the bathroom. That should hold up.

I'm with you on that. Jayski use to do classic points, but I think they even moved on.

'You' can call it whatever you want. NASCAR has a problem and they know it. There are only 6-8 cars that can win....some argue it is really less than 5. There is no passing. You beg for a 'debris caution' so you can see racing. I bet you will start seeing some unsponsored cars by the end of the season...my guess (Stenhouse/Newman). It you still want to argue about something you know very little about, I think this link is a pretty good insight into the multiple issues NASCAR has. http://www.jayski.co...s/statsmenu.htm Records Set In Lead Changes And Leaders Per Race in 2011: Tony Stewart won the title in the most statistically-competitive season in the 63-year history of the Sprint Cup Series. Two major NASCAR Sprint Cup competition records were broken this past season: average lead changes and leaders per race. There was an average of 27.1 lead changes per race in 2011, the most in the history of Sprint Cup competition. Additionally, there was an average of 12.8 leaders per event, also the highest average since the series' inaugural year of 1949. For the second consecutive season, the record books were rewritten. The previous record-highs in both statistics were set in 2010, when there were averages of 25.4 lead changes and 11.4 leaders. In addition, there were 131,989 total green flag passes (an average of 3,666 per race), which is a series-high since NASCAR began tabulating passing numbers in 2005. From green flag to checkered, races during the 2011 unfurled in a tight, unpredictable manner. Averaging a margin of victory of 1.321, a record 23 races featured an MOV under one second. That's the most since the inception of timing and scoring in 1993. Funny you could make a statement like that telling him he knows very little about it when you know even less yourself. I'd recommend bowing out for the evening if I were you. But if you want to keep discussing, the biggest problem with NASCAR today is the lack of personalities. First off I will admit that I am a big #24 fan but when Gordon is the badass in NASCAR, something is wrong, everyone is becoming too plastic, too corporate. NASCAR needs rivalries. As much as I hate them, NASCAR needs more Busch brothers. I thought maybe at one time Tony was going to take Dale Senior's role but he has become just another driver driving for a sponsor too. If you want to blame anyone for NASCAR's demise, blame Jimmie because everyone want to be him now, Mr Vanilla. Of course Junebug sucking it big time doesn't help either. I better stop before I completely neck out. That is strong using 2011. anyway..... 3 drivers won 42% of the races in 2012. There were less cautions than any over the last 5 years (which already alluded to). Cautions force strategy and also bunch the pack up. That's why races like Michigan are usually horrid. Michigan rarely has cautions. Although unbelievably talented, Jimmy Johnson is a snore. Kurt Busch is among the most hated in all of sports. Tom Osborne is a better interview than Junebug. NASCAR is praying big on Danica and kids like Darrell Wallace Jr. I believe they are also hoping that Travis Pastrana pans out. One driver won 39% races himself in 1998. The number of cautions is a meaningless stat. It's all about when the caution is and last year had plenty of "well timed" cautions at the end of the race that bunched everyone up. I know, it cost my guy a couple of wins at least. Junebug is a terrible interview but that's why people love him, he is just another dude out there. It's just too bad for the sport he can't win anymore. I agree on Danica, they are going to play her up as much as humanly possible which is why people hate her. Let her actually accomplish something first before giving her all the attention. I also guarantee she got the best engine from HMS for qualifying and her team did most work then anyone on the qualifying setup because they knew the publicity she could get for winning the pole. The other teams are much more worried about the race. I can't believe we have actually have a NASCAR thread going! 1998..wow? We going to have a weekly Neckcar debate?

Cautions force strategy and also bunch the pack up. That's why races like Michigan are usually horrid. Michigan rarely has cautions. I predict a rough year with new cars for everyone. I see Hendrick or Gibbs cars putting a beating on everyone. Hendrick destroyed everyone when the COT cars came out 5-6 years ago. Although unbelievably talented, Jimmy Johnson is a snore. Kurt Busch is among the most hated in all of sports. Tom Osborne is a better interview than Junebug.

lol @ nascar popularity "dwindling" sadly, nascar is bigger than ever Actually it's not... Ticket sales have been rather unimpressive for the last few years and I'm guessing viewership is similar. I'm one of those who is falling out with it. It's become too much like pro wrestling for my tastes. I'd rather watch F1, GT/touring cars or whatever the ALMS is called now. NASCAR may still be the most popular spectator sport in America but it's not what it once was. NASCAR needs to be very careful. F1 is now putting a watchable product on TV and it is catching in on in America. F1 has a chance of dethrowning NASCAR and putting a death punch to Indycar. I love racing and NASCAR has become boring. F1, AMA Supercross and NHRA are the only racing I enjoy watching anymore. I'm hopeful that ASCS sprint cars catch on. F1 has about as much chance to overtake NASCAR in America as Major League Soccer does over the NFL. You are talking about a sport that has one race, zero drivers and zero teams from the US. I wholeheartedly agree NASCAR is down, never thought I would see the day when Bristol was half empty, but no way in hell F1 will ever come close in popularity. You can't even find the races on basic cable no less. I think you make valid points. 'Speed' is basic cable, but they just lost the contract in the fall. http://www.racer.com/formula-1-lands-four-year-deal-with-nbc/article/263645/

lol @ nascar popularity "dwindling" sadly, nascar is bigger than ever Are you basing that on the empty tracks (attendance), falling TV ratings or reduction in big sponsorship $'s?

Let the inappropriate comments began because 'Danica is on the Pole'. I have followed nascar most of my life and I find this a little convenient as nascar popularity dwindles. http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/8956961/danica-patrick-first-woman-win-daytona-500-pole In related news, Courtney and Brittany Force both running today in NHRA. Brittney already out, but Courtney is still rolling.

Many use pay pal like a credit card. He probably was just financing his motorcycle.

I use craigslist and paypal for a lot of stuff. I like the site zoomthelist.com because you can search the entire country at once. I have bought and sold several items $250-$500 using paypal, but there have always been phone conversations. I'd have a hard time with a motorcycle...Is the dude going to pick it up in person?

Dude can wrestle. http://www.omaha.com/article/20130215/PREPZONE/702159828/1001

Any undecided kids out there: If you are semi-mechanical and you want to make some solid money quick....go to Milford. Get into there electronics, specifically troubleshooting PLC's program. You'll be make more money than the psych majors in a lot less time. We can't keep these kids (19-20) at all because so much money is being offered to them.

Mechanical Engineer with a MBA are like gold right now.

You are equating a bingo game with a bad education/getting jipped. There is no substitute for experience. You will use very little of your education. It's not your fault..you don't know what you don't know. Enjoy your time in Lincoln and move on. You'll be surprised when you get into 'business' and you find out you are working with a History major from Hastings college or a Secondary Ed major from Peru. Your boss will have a mechanical engineering degree from UNL. While that never answers my question, it still isn't necessarily true. I've had internships where I would have to bring my textbooks to work and read before I could do any work. Of course that speaks more for entry-level positions, and doesn't happen as much for people higher in the food chain. But as I said, how the world is isn't my point. Why should it be that? Why are you fine with wasting 4 years of your life on an education that won't prepare you one bit for what you're going to do? If you consider it a waste, that is something that you will have to deal with. It is a bridge between high school and your professional life. One class isn't going to break your professional career. Although I would have never thought it 20 years ago, you will benefit from being a member of organizations (greeks, volunteering, internships, clubs, professional groups) as much as your education. There is no text book for 95% of the situations you will encounter. The only text books I ever see are Stats or Engineering. Even those guys use google. What do I think the point of getting a degree and what society/companies believe are two different things. I can get into that if you want, but I would prefer not to. I think it is a problem that we force everyone into college. It isn't for everyone, but there really is no alternative. A 'business degree' is not a trade. You can't have the same expectation as someone that went through Welding at SCC. edit...which Buster describes above. Business is not Lawyer, Doctor or accountant. Take it for what its worth because I'm not trying to argue with you. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm not a fan of basketball, but I had the chance to go to a game at Cameron about 5 years ago. It was pretty awesome. Can't really compare it to anything I had been to before. Hope he is traveling with security.....Durham is a craphole.

That might not be a bad one, when I was looking for jobs a year or so ago there were a lot of those type out there. I took a class as a management elective for my major in supply chain management and it was way too easy so I didn't really pay attention. Now I wish I had because I'm sure I could have found a job a lot quicker if I could have regurgitated what I was supposed to learn. For the most part unless you have an absolutely crappy professor and text to work from you basically get out of college what you put into it. I found that out the hard way. I've heard that different companies throughout the midwest pushed UNL to start the new major. I guess Union Pacific and several other companies are really wanting midwest kids in the field. The starting salary isn't half bad for most of them either. Entry level supply chain (ERP) jobs are difficult to fill. It is an entry level job for all different types of professionals and many find out it is not what they are looking for. There is also a lot of turnover. There is definitely money involved, but it will take you a little while to get there. I guarantee you it would be more to your benefit to learn SAP or AS400(going away) then spend another year in college. Union Pacific doesn't pay jack for people with no experience. edit....I was talking to 'head hunter' a few months ago and there is lack of qualified Supply Chain Managers in the Nebraska area. He actually said a lot of the country. I have worked in manufacturing my entire career and it wasn't something that interested me.

Also...this quote struck me. It made me remember back to people I went to school with. Various people could be taking the exact same courses in the exact same major. One group would have the attitude..."This is stupid"..."This is a horrible education"....."Why the hell are we doing this"... bla bla bla.... This group typically didn't get squat out of college. The other group learned it, took it serious, got involved in their majors...etc. These typically are the ones that excelled in college and in their jobs after college. I know this is an over generalization. But, it held pretty true with the people I saw in college and know them now. Buster, You nailed it again my friend. I haven't used my major since day one and I do fine. So many people think a degree = $'s. I laugh at all the people getting MBA's right now. They have no plan. MBA is a good plan if you know what you are getting it for. I hear so many colleagues say that want more money or they want to expand their opportunities so they are getting a MBA. They are wasting their time. MBA's only = $'s if you go to Duke, Standford, Emory, Harvard..(there's a few more). Your degree is what you make of it. If you want to complain about 'bingo' and then use that as a limiting factor in your future, you won't be successful.

I have trouble that this lunatic killed innocent people. Whether or not he was wrongly terminated, it doesn't really matter, there is not excuse for his actions. LAPD didn't kill him, nor was it Riverside PD or the Game Wardens he got in a gunfight with. It likely wasn't even the San Bernandino County Sheriff. I bet he shot himself like the coward he is when he knew there was no way out. Spend 10 minutes scanning that 'manifesto'. Dude had serious issues.

Watching coverage of this on TV makes me sick. People defending a cop killer are disgusting. This guy is a wreck and this article sites issue after issue. http://www.latimes.c...9369,full.story

There is seriously a rumor that something else is going to happen?
