Incorrect, only 14 ATHLETIC departments made money...football makes money at MANY schools, but not enough to keep the entire athletic program afloat at all but 14.
Only a handful of women's programs even come close to breaking even and not too many men's basketball or baseball teams do much more than break even.
Incorrect. The only advantages plasma has over LCD is that the "blacks are blacker", meaning higher true contrast ratio, and also the side viewing angle is a bit better at least when compared to cheap LCDs.
This is correct with some products, but many of the store label products are made by another manufacturer. Several large manufacturers make the bulk of Wal-Mart branded pharmaceuticals, largest is Michigan based Perrigo which does sell products under it's own label but is not a household brand...but there are several others.
Also, in the electronics section the brands you recognize are often actually Wal-Mart specific products. Look at the specific model of TVs by Samsung, Philips, and LG. Some of them are the same as every where else, but many are a cheaper model that lacks a few features (often just disabled in firmware...but that is another product differentiation story). This is for two reasons, one they can often undercut most other mainstream retailers this way but also they don't have to price match if they are the only ones offering a specific model.
Actually, huge quantities of soy protein isn't that great for people either due to vegetable estrogen analogues and such. A moderate amount is great for you, shouldn't really be the foundation food source though.
You don't have to use vodka to make extract when you can just leave the vanilla "bean" innards in the ice cream. Drink the vodka, eat the strawberry or vanilla ice cream.
I personally like to add eggs to my ice cream (New York versus Philadelphia style...), so I always cook it anyway. Unfortunately in my state, you can only legally buy raw milk directly from the farmer on the dairy premises...so that makes it difficult to buy raw milk anyway.
Last I checked, the price to pay for things like roads doesn't scale proportionally with the price of gas. The fact that gas went from $1.50 to $3 a gallon on some day , doesn't now mean the roads require twice as much money to pay for them.
The states get a proportional increase in tax; which is a mass 'hidden' tax increase, that they get to blame the oil companies on.
Why would a per gallon charge scale up when the cost of gasoline rises? 15 gallons is 15 gallons whether it costs 1 dollar or 100 to purchase.
If anything, as fuel efficiency increases the amount of money states are collecting via the fuel tax is shrinking, not rising.
You made the assumption that there actually is a "church" associated with this group and they hold services. They don't, this is an organization which likes to call itself Westboro Baptist Church...nothing more.
In a short statement, you summarized 2002-2005 for me. Until I realized I could make more of a difference and make more money at the same time doing something totally different, it probably would have been my life from 2005-now as well...
Why do you assume they are 1 kilometer in solid thickness? I would imagine a suitable structure MUCH thinner would suffice. Obviously if you are building a ringworld type structure with habitat on the inside, that is a different matter...but as far as a basic collector it would not need to be nearly that thick nor would it be solid.
Agreed. Most politicians that label themselves conservatives are good salesmen who pander to the religious majority and old people. Most politicians that label themselves liberals are good salesmen who pander to minorities and the young. When it is all said and done, they are all salesmen who are trying to sell the same thing (a giant pile of horseshit) to different people.
Don't feel too bad, when those of us actually from Arkansas put AR on a form the most common guess outside of the area is Arizona. People are stupid everywhere...
I disagree somewhat. I live in zone 7 too (barely actually...right on the border of 7a and 6b), last summer I didn't get tomatoes or squash at all and very few cucumbers for all of July and August. I had okra and yard long beans out of this world though. The day time temps were enough to scorch the tomatoes had they not all died due to the incredibly high night time temps.
The bright side is this year I already have multiple green tomatoes and MANY squash blossoms on giant (for this time of year) healthy plants. I planted a ton of stuff in March that I normally plant in May because it was so warm...tonight's low is 40 and I'm just hoping that my own little microclimate isn't any lower since everything is far to big to cover. A continental climate is a bitch
I can get generic Zyrtec at the grocery store for $30 for 300 pills...I'm not worried that my $10 insurance co-pay won't get me 30 pills any longer. Now what is funny is the people who still buy the brand name because they are convinced that they work better and just happen to cost 100x as much.
In my experience in long term care, pharmacists do a tremendously better job of catching drug interactions than the physicians. Our consultant pharmacists literally catch multiple drug interactions a month in prescriptions that the physicians wrote, some quite severe. To be honest though, the computer system catches 95% of them before they are even ordered.
That is BS, malpractice suits against physicians are notoriously hard to fight...much less win. The only specialty that runs the risks of which you speak are OB/GYNs and pediatricians.
I agree with the metformin...especially once the nausea stage passes. Statins though carry some decent risks and should be monitored by a physician, no way around it.
Same experience here. A few summers ago we hosted a party for about 40-50 people, mostly 20-45 year olds from work. I stocked the liquor cabinet and devoted the whole fridge to a great variety of different beers. It was only in the mid-80s, but at the end of the day very little of the beer in the inside refrigerator had been drank (mostly by my brother in law and myself). The garage fridge I keep stocked with Bud Light and some wheat beer for drinking while working in the yard and garden was nearly empty though.
Completely blew my mind. I drink the stuff when I am sweating my ass off and don't want to further dehydrate myself, don't see much other use for it. Oh well, I guess diversity is what makes the world go round...
Closer British ties would actually imply that Canadian English would have evolved with British English. American English without those ties would have had a more pronounced island effect.
Onions and their ilk (garlic, leeks, shallots etc) are all very sweet when cooked as well. Roasted garlic can easily add as much sweetness as an equivalent amount of straight refined sugar.

Damn, now it makes perfect sense...Noah was only ~250 years old when he died. Makes the whole bible seem more legit.
INTERNS at Facebook make a third as much...INTERNS. Stop bitching and get a better job! ;)

Unfortunately a very small number of gun deaths in the US are committed with rifles.

From a nested link in the link you posted, gun deaths outnumber blunt object deaths 17 to 1 in 2011. The other years in the article were similar.

No, no...they host 100,000 songs valued at $10,000 each by the RIAA itself.
