Just to clarify, Brian's reference to sickle cell trait doesn't relate directly to rhabdomyolysis, it relates to the linked article at EDSBS stating that most of the non-traumatic deaths of football players over the last several years have occurred during offseason conditioning, several of which resulted from sickle cell crises in people previously undiagnosed with sickle cell trait.  So the overall point of that article and the reference is the lack of oversight and screening for these things in general.

I believe that is Greg Hardin, associate AD. 

I know you've already fixed it, but is this by chance the virus that you got?  http://lifehacker.com/5499124/how-to-remove-xp-antispyware

A buddy of mine got that a while ago and asked me to fix it for him.  I just remember that the virus kept telling him he had to pay to get rid of it (which, of course, was bogus but he kept clicking it). I also remember it being a bitch to remove.  

Glad malwarbytes fixed it for you.

I've always used some sort of combination of Ad-aware, Ad-watch, and Spybot.  Does Malwarebytes cover the territory of all of those?

I've never been into the Packard Pub, but the first thing that needs to go is the sign out front.  

You say Michael Rosenberg doesn't "hate" his Alma Mater, which is fair; I don't think he hates his Alma Mater either; in fact I enjoyed "War as They Knew It".   This doesn't mean that he's above selling it out for his own personal gain.  Put yourself in Rosenberg's position: if someone were to give you some potentially (albeit marginally) incriminating facts about your alma mater, what would you do?  I personally would not start a months-long quest to have those facts brought to light.  

In regards to the Free Press as a whole: I think that the vitriol towards the paper stems from the fact that the Free Press has continued to sensationalize their now-flawed story in order to justify its initial publication.  The right thing to do would be to provide a balanced review of their information and sources; the prudent thing to do would be to downplay their lopsided portrayal of the situation by limiting the visibility of the story in their publications.  They did neither; in fact they are still trying to make the story more than it is (see the 8 page feature on it yesterday).  

I like the fact that they're denying Freep interviews now; there's no possible way that can be spun against the University.  Denying press passes, however, would just make the Freep more sensational in their stories and make UM look vindictive.  In the future, everyone in the Athletic Dept will know which reporters to ignore when the requests for interviews come about. 

You beat me to it. 

Find a friend who knows something about golf and who is willing to help you find some clubs on ebay.  Should be able to get them dirt cheap.  If you're just starting to get serious, whatever you get should be able to tide you over until you get addicted and will know enough to know which clubs will fit your game.  One caveat if you get used clubs: plan on getting the clubs re-gripped.  Grips may not seem that important, but if you start out with a set that has worn grips, it can spell bad news for your development as a player.  Oh, and always spend at least as long chipping/pitching/putting as you do hitting full shots at the range.
