  2. Ok..i'll Admit It - I Voted Democrat Because

    Actually, capital gains are triple taxed.

    http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb64...33/ai_n29237117

    Tax #1 - My paycheck is taxed.

    Tax #2 - I take what's left after being taxed and buy 100 shares of GE. The income of the company is taxed, and what is left over is earnings for the company.

    Tax #3 - I sell my 100 shares and I'm taxed, not on the amount I EARNED but on the amount the stock is worth when I cashed out.

    You do realize in step 3 you are taxed only on the appreciated value, correct?

    I knew it wouldn't be easy with them having Graham and Monroe this time. I'm proud of the way our team hung on and made key free throws down the stretch. Also glad to see we won without McCoy hitting every shot he threw up. Shows many differently people on our team have the ability to stepup.

  5. Obama Closes Gitmo

    Yes, we should have tried these criminals much quicker than we have. However, everyone seems to sympathize with these sorry bastards, they are animals and deserve to be treated as such. And in response to one poster, these guys aren't here for being innocent, they are known terrorist. Not one country in the EU has stepped forward and said they would welcome these guys in there country, wonder why? Is Europe just a bunch of uncaring people or are they smart not to want these people on their soil?

    Do you not pay attention to the news, hundreds of people have been released back to their countries...including many in Europe. The problem is it took 3+ years for "us" to decided which ones were in the wrong place at wrong time. There's still people who have had their case reviewed and it's been determined that their is no evidence of a crime, yet they are still their. I'm for closing GITMO, not for the wholesale release of all it's occupants. Use the justice system to try them, if innoncent release them, if guilty do whatever the sentence is.

    Have you seen him play? I know he's thin, but I wasn't thinking of him as a back to the basket post up guy, more of an athletic shot blocking type (a very poor man's Marcus Camby type). Knox I would hope would put on more weight and develop a post up game, but was thinking of Shaw as more of a 4 than a 5.

    Can't say that I have, but following the box scores...I see way too many 7 point games and not 15-20, etc.

    Since I had forgotten about Cameron Spencer...I have ammended my wish list:

    Tops is still Marcus Brister...he'd be ideal along side our smaller combo guards in White and Johnson.

    Assuming we get our RPI lost scholarship back, and banking on Spencer to be able to go out and take up space for 10-15 minutes per game, I'd love for our last scholarship to go to Jarred Shaw a 6'10" 210 lb. athletic post from Dallas Carter...that would give us a lot of athleticism and potential in our future frontcourt (Holman, Knox, Shaw).

    Should the rest of the recruiting season play out like this...or at least similarly with one JUCO and one freshman signing yet to come...our 2009-10 roster would consist of 3 freshmen (Holman, Knox, Shaw)...2 seniors (Tramiel, Johnson) and 8 juniors (TT, Hogans, Odufuwa, White, Mangrum, Shorter, Spencer, Brister).

    I love that we have such high expectations for such a young team...and while I am cautiously pessimistic about this year's teams chance at attaining the level of success I think befitting of the talent level here...I am widely optimistic about the future of the program that JJ has built.

    I would take a pass on Shaw...he would equal a slightly more athletic Ben Knox...

  11. Vito On Daniel Prior

    in Mean Green Football

    Where in the post does it say that Vito said "Hey Daniel, did you know UNT really sucks and was 3-21 over the last two years?...

    How do we know what caused Prior to express confidence in UNT's ability to turn it around? Maybe Vito asked, what drew you to UNT. Then Prior responded "_____,______, and _____. I also believe we will be able to get this thing turned around." For all of you who sit there and think Vito's only aim is to bring UNT down...there are plenty of other things that are bring us down. The beat writer aint it.

    From what I've been able to gather he and coach Ford have had a bit of a tiff...though I can't get much in the way of detail b/c the Okie State board is through Rivals and requires a membership...anyone with one who could read up and post it would be much appreciated. And yes, he did play against us...he started but played just 12 minutes before fouling out having gone 2-4 from the field for 4 points, 2 rebounds and a block. On the season he's played in 7 games and is averaging 8.3ppg, 3.9rpg, blocked 8 shots and had a season best 18 points and 7 rebounds against Tulsa.

    Brister is a guy I'd be elated to land. I was just doing some digging through a couple of JUCO sites and found him on a couple of different "Players to Watch" lists and I thought he would be the ideal fit for our backcourt situation...a big, passing point guard...only then did I look him up on Rivals and found he had already been offered...he's a local kid and his other offer at the moment is from Georgia State, which should give JJ an inside track. The other 2 JUCOs really have no local ties save for their current JUCO affiliation.

    Also...Shannon Shorter, our first signee at Paris JC is currently averaging 9.0ppg, 3.9rpg, 1.6apg, with 13 steals and is shooting 53% from the field (32 of 61), 73.3% from the line (33 of 45) and 33% from 3 (2 of 6). He's currently 5th on the team in scoring, though it is a balanced attack that looks much like UNT's scoring averages. Looking at the depth chart, and who JJ seems to be pursuing (Brister) I think Shorter is more of an insurance policy on Collin Mangrum...Brister, Johnson and White running the 1,2 spots with TT and either Mangrum or Shorter on the wings.

    I would really love to land Brister - someone who seems inclined to pass a few times a game at the 1 would be nice.

    I don't know if I can continue to donate my dollars for this... this is truly embarrassing. Something has to be done. I am not going to pretend to know what that is. But a change has to be made. There is no positive progression.

    We need to get a coach who can actually coach the talent we have. I do believe we have some talented players, but if this continues for another season or two...we may never recover.

WE BELIEVE IN THE MEAN GREEN!
