A tour of the White House is a great experience. It’s something that you should do if you get the chance. I have been in DC a couple of different times, but both times no tours were available the days I was free to go. Maybe next time. There is a lot of history around DC. Not just the White House, but all along the Mall. The White House is tough to get into now (for good reason), but the Smithsonian and all of the memorials and other museums make a DC trip worthwhile if you are into the history at all.

Sounds like you came through it well. Glad to hear. We had one serious hurricane during our Baton Rouge years, Gustav.

@justanotherfan I think you are getting the terms interpreted in a very narrow form. The Term Main Stream Media is not unique to hard news but to all form of media . The currently accepted definition is: Mainstream media (MSM) is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence a large number of people, and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought. Whether we like it or not, sources such as TMZ, Bravo, A&E, TLC and ET are considered part of the MSM since they report entertainment or lighter news in the same way ESPN and Fox Sports report sports news and both are considered MSM; many of these notworks have larger audiences than traditional outlets like CNN.

@JayHawkFanToo Because China has been in its current form (geographically, at least) for centuries, it is far more stable than the former Eastern Bloc ever was. This long history also means that, ethnically, China is actually quite homogeneous. The Han-Chinese make up over 90% of the population. While China is linguistically very diverse (nearly 300 languages, probably twice that if you include local dialects), most Chinese speak Mandarin (about 70%). Based on that, more than 60% of the population is both ethnically and linguistically united. Simply put, it is unlikely that China would break up even in the event of a revolution because of its longstanding historical borders. Many of the subgroups are so small that it would be difficult to break off into a separate nation, particularly for those that would be entirely surrounded by mainland China. I think those factors contribute to actually stabilizing China substantially. Even in the event of a change in governance, China would probably still have a population over 1B, making it a substantial world player either way.

KU need some votes. go here and vote for KU. UK is ahead, not because it is the better team but because it has more fans voting. Wall might have a slight edge over Mason and Hinrich and Prince probably pretty close with the edge to Hinrich but KU is much better at the other 3 position. 1 day left…

I’d still take him.

Former Thunder big man Nick Collison, who worked last season as a special assistant to GM Sam Presti, will be in a new role this year, having earned the title of amateur evaluation scout, according to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman.

@Ralster …as long as the check clears the refs don’t mind…

@Texas-Hawk-10 Absolutely agree. Skill guys, particularly RBs and WRs, can help right away because if you have speed, or elusiveness, that translates right away, particularly if you play for a coach that can get you in good situations.

HighEliteMajor said: He fought the law and the law won. Louisville has to clean house to help come penalty phase time. This web could expand. Yes it will expand and I fear this type of behavior might be more widespread than people think. I am worried about CBB.

@JayHawkFanToo There were 3 elements to the statement I proposed, none of which were in Trump’s actual statement. Even Fox accepted that Trump backtracked from the middle statement that contained some condemnation.

Look at the growth in Josh, comparing his late nite to this one taken the other day.

It won’t impact Texas because the NCAA can’t afford to give up 3 of their 10 Final Four sites.

@Texas-Hawk-10 @approxinfinity Like I said…if it is determined that any of the players involved was part of the championship game then the title will be stripped…or I should say, it should be. I guess we will find out soon enough; I am sure we will meet back here in the near future.

Again, the very best of all possible good fortune to you, Holly. Your tv presence brings smiles to fans everywhere. We need you on our sidelines.

@dylans I’m sorry that I challenged your work ethic. I didn’t mean it to come off that way when I wrote it. I didn’t think it was a personal attack when I wrote it, and certainly didn’t expect you to respond so aggressively to it. I just wanted to put in perspective what NBA players schedules are like. I apologize for offending you. Sometimes things get a little heated during the offseason when news get slow.
