I'm not ripping Mario per se. I am concerned that his body is deteriorating. I hope that it is not, but he not just sitting out, they sent him off-site for evaluation. Hopefully it really just is a bruce smith deal.

His #1 fault is his health. Sitting out camp indicates more Glass Tim complex. I just hope we didn't waste his one full season one last year's disaster.

For next season, b-shift might be a great coping mechanism.

Speaking of Stadia: http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/25/us/new-york-madison-square-garden-relocation/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 They just complete a billion dollar renovation. Now they have 10 years to leave.

He totally Lance Armstonged his accusers.

I think it's an attempt to expand their demographic, especially with FOX1 starting. They have Hockey, Notre Dame, Cycling, English Premiership Soccer, and Golf. Adding NASCAR brings in a group of fans from a different part of the country, and potentially in a different income bracket.

That's the last time I do your bidding, Sensei.

Jagr will celebrate his 42nd birthday, likely while playing in his 5th Olympic Games (It would have been an amazing 7th if non-Russian professionals hadn't been barred prior to 1998). The guy appears to have not aged in the last 5-6 years. Maybe the time away from the grueling NHL helped his longevity. At worst, the Devils just signed an extra 2nd round pick in next year's draft.

As a parent, I can completely empathize with this thought. Our second is in the process of getting tested for Spectrum. I'd like a lot more research. My original complaint was about McCarthy, specifically because she drives fear of critical life saving medicine based almost entirely on a study and a man that has been refuted as fraud by multiple varying sources.

never. causality proves causality. correlation might be an indicator, or a red herring.

It is a possible step to finding a cause, but that phrase might be the most important phrase in science.

I am all for medical exemptions and I think more research should be done. I'm against vaccination exemptions based on pop culture belief in fraud science. The government keeps things quiet because part of the job of public health officials is to act like actuaries and protect the most people. A scared run of 5-10% of the population away from vaccinations would result in thousands of dead kids. I've found that observing your kids progress objectively as a parent is impossible. I'm not going to say what you witnessed didn't happen exactly as you witnessed it, but correlation is not causality. There is no science showing any link anywhere between vaccines and autism. To publicly trumpet "research" proven beyond a doubt to be fraudulent, as McCarthy has, is irresponsible. To give her a huge audience of new parents to spew these dangerous lies to is irresponsible to an extreme.

Yes. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/us/21vaccine.html?_r=0 Vaccine's aren't grounds for parenting fads and pop-pseudo-science. They are the greatest advancement of the 20th century.

One person not getting their kid vaccinated puts my kids at risk. That's not Darwinism, that's manslaughter.

Jenny McCarthy being hired by The View. If she is given a platform to spout her dangerous vaccine nonsense, people, mostly kids, will end up dead of completely preventable diseases. I love free speech, but this type of crazy is deadly.

You're ok with this? Also, Can I borrow the toddler sized Pit Bull costumes this weekend, my brother coming over for a barbecue, and our toddlers are perfect fightin' size.

The odd tall box shape at the top is critical for concealing the gas drilling rig hidden underneath. You think they're digging that canal for tourism? Fracking takes a lot of water.

Raiders.

It's also blatantly false. Women occasionally change their minds.

Massechusetts went from having the chairmanships of the top Foreign Policy Committee in the Senate (Kerry, Senate Foreign Relations) and the Top Domestic Policy Committee (Kennedy, Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions) to having ZERO chairmanships and the 96th and 100th ranked members by seniority.

Right. My point is the political slants, the narratives attached to all stories, the selection of stories even, they are letting us down. They didn't do their job in 2003 just the same as they are not doing their job now. And the reason they are not doing their job is they can make more money by not doing it than they could by presenting actual journalism and making people question their perceptions. Although I don't think the ties between the Obama Administration and the Networks are as tight as you seem to believe, I still think they are inappropriately connected. Read paragraph (3) which applies to all places other than the home and includes the stand your ground provisions.

I disagree, huge multinationals like Comcast and General Electric are totally concerned with profitability, to the exclusion of all other items. Also comparing the profitability of a cable news network and a broadcast affiliate network is not completely coherent. You're talking about 2-3 hours of news per day vs 24.

I don't know who this LPF is, but I will try and tackle your question. The actions of NBC et al. are neither and example of conscious nor unconscious bigotry. They are an example of something far worse, especially as it applies to our press: Completely Amoral Capitalism. Those pictures, this narrative, the entire court case as a construct for social commentary. All of it is a fabrication of journalists placing eyeballs before truth and ads before integrity. If there is a social comment to be made by this entire exercise, It's that one of the most important institutions in our society, the Press, is failing us wildly every day.

I still think this provision only prevents the prosecution from arguing that he could have walked away. I don't know what Zimmerman would have argued even if he wanted to bring it up. It says what the defendant is not required to do. It only would come up if the prosecution had said he should have walked away.
