2 weeks 2 days ago Don't understand their headlines

For 2013, only the last 30 entries out of 1511 show a negative 30 year ROI.  There are 1481 with a positive ROI which represents probably 700-1000 schools (since schools are listed twice for in-state and out-of-state tuition).  Even the 2012 data has many more than 150 entries or 150 schools with positive ROI, including my alma mater down below the half-way point in the list.

YMMV, but all these analyses are based on medians.  Be exceptional.  Enjoy life.  And you may end up with returns well beyond these, or benefits that are more than financial.

3 weeks 6 days ago Watching a lot more

but that's due to there being a competitive team in town...  Should be an exciting last evening of the season.

It is very strange for Detroit and Columbus, who will only see an Eastern Conference team for at most one series in a year (if one of them makes the finals), then they'll be in the East next year.  The Jets won't see their future West-mates at all for a year before they go West.  Will be interesting to see if familiarity helps or hinders each of these teams going into the new alignment next year.

3 weeks 6 days ago Use

Lenovo and HP laptops at work. With my own money, only Macs. For the OP and either simple or complex video editing a MBP would seem the better choice. Don't forget educational or corporate discounts, if they apply. Haven't paid full price for a Mac in over 20 years (yes my first one was the 2nd model to come out). Highly recommend AppleCare on laptops due to extra abuse they get moving around. Unibody case though will eliminate many previous issues that the plastic cases had. Productively getting 7 years plus out of the Macs. Knowing how much the support desk is called at work for the Windows PCs I use, and the 4 or 5 year refresh, seems like better TCO for the Macs. And I can still open a Unix shell window if I need to.



For consumer cameras, I've had so-so luck with Sony. But I've certainly gotten used to the interface. Make sure to get HD in this day and age.

Rutgers policy on no-shows.

  • Students are limited in the number of times per season and the total number of times while enrolled as students that they can be a no-show for games.
  • Students who accumulate two (2) no-shows in one football season will be ineligible to claim tickets for the remainder of the season.
  • Students who accumulate five (5) total no-shows in football while enrolled as a student will be ineligible to claim tickets for the remainder of their time as students.

Doesn't quite address re-selling seats of late people and maybe relegating them to SRO (found this one while trying to search the web for anyone implementing such a system), but still...you're getting to buy season tix at a discount vs. those a few sections away, just GA now.

4 weeks 2 days ago so if this is the logo

4 weeks 3 days ago So this got me wondering WWTBEHD

What would the Big East have done?

Found an article from a couple years back where Pitino was complaining about the Big East scheduling and proposing 2 divisions once TCU joins the Big East to bring them to 17 basketball schools.  One of his divisions was fairly accurate, albeit split off to an entirely "new" conference:

Eastern Division
Villanova, Georgetown, St. John's, DePaul, Marquette, Seton Hall, Providence, Notre Dame, and South Florida.

Western Division
Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville, West Virginia, Cincinnati, TCU, Rutgers and UConn.

In less than 2 years, they ended up with essentially 2 divisions, except as two conferences they get two automatic qualifiers:

The New Big East (The Catholic 7 plus others):

From the Pitino Eastern Division:
Villanova, Georgetown, St. John's, DePaul, Marquette, Seton Hall, Providence 
From the A10:
Butler, Xavier
From the Missouri Valley:
Creighton

The AAC () Basketball members, although Pitino's own school and Rutgers leave after the league's first year:

From the Pitino Western Division:
Cincinnati, UConn (Louisville to ACC, Rutgers to B1G in 2014)
From the Pitino Eastern Division:
South Florida
From C-USA:
UCF, SMU, Houston, Memphis, and in 2014: Tulsa, East Carolina, Tulane
From the A10:
Temple

And who scrammed, or will scram, from Pitino's divisions?

Gone From Pitino Western DIvision:
Notre Dame (ACC)
Gone or Going Soon from Pitino Eastern Division:
Syracuse (ACC), Pittsburgh (ACC), Louisville (ACC in 2014), WVU (Big XII), TCU (MWC, never joined Big East and went to Big XII instead), Rutgers (B1G in 2014)

It's all Pitino's fault.
