  1. Without looking it up on Google: something something British are weird.
  2. That's a little bit of an exaggeration, especially because of the religious influences on geocentrism. But it's true that we'll continue to develop our understanding of the physical universe. Instead, it'll be more about finding the limits of our models as we examine new regimes of space, time, and energy. For instance, we figured out the math, kinematics, behind how everyday objects move and how celestial objects move, but we found out that kinematics failed to describe what happened at very, very small spacial scales (think atoms versus bowling balls and planets). So we adjusted the model, adding some new (at the time) math, and called it quantum mechanics. As we explored higher and higher in energy (in particle colliders), we've needed to develop new math models and ways to think about how all of the forces and particles are related. But the most widely-accepted model doesn't attempt to describe everything, so we accept that there is more exploring and math to do to create and vet new or expanded models.
  3. Still skeptical, especially since the report (released directly to media outlets, ahem) only makes inference to data. I'll wait to see the peer-reviewed data and wait for my colleagues return from that AIAA conference in Orlando.
  4. I don't see any of those being of so extraordinary magnitude as to be fired. Some mistakes there, but nothing termination worthy. Jerseys were the closest, though. However, the LaFontaine business would certainly be an example of things not going smoothly.
  5. There's an aberration, looking at the front office pages for both teams: http://sabres.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=36588 http://www.buffalobills.com/about-us/front-office.html The Executive sections list Terry as Owner of the Sabres and Owner/CEO of the Bills. The Sabres list Kim as CEO/President of PSE and the Bills list as Owner/President of PSE. Little weird. Obviously, they're both Owners. Are they both CEOs of PSE? Is Russ the new President of PSE? The five EVPs of PSE are listed for both teams. I'm pretty sure that PSE is "running" both teams, and that the role of President of PSE was a redundancy that worked out "mutually." Maybe Ted didn't want to run the Bills, and Russ was okay with it. Cliff Benson may also be faced with the same decision: be CDO of PSE, including the Bills, or get Buddy Nixed.
  6. Read: I don't want to advertise my parties on social media anymore.
  7. Bettman: NHL would "have to consider" putting Quebec franchise in the Western Conference. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/799618?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter That's stupid. No need to consider it.
  8. Williams Williams Williams Williams Williams Williams Williams Campbell
  9. We have to be the first to colonize so we can mine all of the Turbidium to help the war effort here on Earth.
  10. In terms of total dollars and cents, it may be better for a prospective Seattle owner to take the saved franchise fee and invest in an arena.
  11. Too Many Cooks?
  12. That's what I was waiting for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5tgsGz60dA
  13. Shhh, you'll hurt their feelings.
  14. It's a research degree, for those that want to pursue scientific or engineering research professions. If you don't want/need/care to do research, then getting a BS or MS, and getting years of professional experience under your belt outweigh the benefits of the PhD.
  15. If Gary Bettman checks the following boxes, then I'll support him: Guarantees the continued existence of the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo* Apologizes for No Goal Donates at least $1 billion to WNY charities Dies *This was a trick. Terry Pegula already did this, therefore, I'll never support Gary Bettman.
  16. I've been to a few DD bouts, at least in their house league form, the Mad Rollin' Dolls. Good times. Back when the guy on the left was their mascot. I've also been been to more than a few Badger womens games. Also good times.
  17. 10 minutes straight upon introduction, periodically after that.
  18. First three home games conflict with Bills, other home games should be ok. With Burke, McDonald (captain at Maine), and Grigg (captain at RIT) at the blueline, and either Leveille (0.946SV% and a 1.18GAA last season with Minn) or McLaughlin (member of the national team, holds the NCAA D1 womens record for career saves) in net, we should be a sound defensive team.
  19. Branding: Las Vegas: Gamers, Jackpots, Silvers, Canyoneers, Railroaders, Atoms or Atomics Quebec City: (Nordiques, with permission), (Remparts, yoink), Bulldogs, Diamonds/Diamants, Nationales, Victors Seattle: Sea Serpents, Pioneers, Neptunes/Poseidons, Sirens, Raging Baristas, Shipwrights, Summits, Volcanoes
  20. I'd rather ship Columbus out and keep Detroit. Give the state of Florida to the MetroAtlantic and make Carolina the redheaded step child of the AtlanticNortheast Division...
  21. We'll have a new Ottawa and a new Atlanta to kick around for a couple years. Phoenix will move to Seattle, which will start a nice little rivalry with Vancouver. With eight teams per, divisions might finally be uned.
  22. Enjoy some science. http://www.nowykurier.com/toys/gravity/gravity.html
  23. No word on Proctor City?
