  1. Except that youth football in Indiana has already started seeing leagues with 7-man and 9-man full-pad/full-tackle teams playing in them. Included in schools playing this type of ball is a 2018 and 2019 sectional winner 5A school and a 2018 state champion 3A school.
  2. Folks who are in that Texas region will tell you ... they take their football seriously down there. There's room for both 11-man and 6-man down there and it doesn't diminish the 11-man fervor.
  3. Remember that the 3 million+ votes that Clinton had over Trump? Didn't matter. Similarly with square miles. BTW, just for comparison ... Here's New York, in county coverage, in 2016. Clinton won 17 counties to Trump's 45. Trump dropped that state by 22%+ ... and 100% of its electoral votes. It ain't about square miles, it's about population density and votes when carving up states.
  4. What a difference a couple of weeks makes in the simply recent poll ...
  5. I'm thinking there might be a flaw in the algorithm ...
  6. The lack of "calendar" to have to play to has been particularly liberating. With Spring Break over and school back in session, there's still the job stress to a degree, but the lack of meetings, especially all those dang spontaneous ones, and the lack of having to be at this practice or that recital or this team picture or that parent meeting ... has allowed for more flexibility and less stress.
  7. Here's the original thread where the hire was announced with some run-up and subsequent commentary.
  8. Didn't Marian petition to move up two classes after they won the 1973 state championship?
  9. https://www.law360.com/tax-authority/federal/articles/1257333/immigrants-cut-out-of-senate-s-covid-19-stimulus-package FTA: Thousands of tax-paying immigrants won’t be eligible for stimulus checks under the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package that sailed through the Senate, which excludes “nonresident aliens” and those without Social Security numbers. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act specifically mandates that people considered “nonresident aliens” won’t be eligible for the $1,200 per adult and $500 per child benefit that Congress is hoping to slip into people’s bank accounts sometime this spring. It requires check receivers to have filed their 2018 or 2019 taxes with a “valid identification number,” which the bill specifically defines as a Social Security number, although other taxpayer identification numbers exist. It’s a move that cuts of thousands of immigrants off from accessing the relief caused by massive layoffs across the country as business is rolled back and people are asked to remain at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The United States leads the world in number of diagnosed COVID-19 cases as of Thursday afternoon, surpassing much larger China and heavily afflicted Italy. The National Immigration Law Center called the decision to pass a bill that cut off so many in the country from financial aid during a public health crisis as “disgraceful,” noting that many immigrants will end up playing “an essential role in our recovery as a nation.” “Immigrant workers and families who are paying taxes have been cut out from receiving a single dollar,” NILC Executive Director Marielena Hincapié said in a statement. “ Since no other relief package appears imminent, the stakes are high for millions of low-wage workers and immigrants, who also need economic support and access to health care.”
  10. Like the info. Anything that gets kids interested/involved in the game and off the couches is a good thing. Thanks to all of the coaches, communities, players, fans, and other supporters that put so much into helping to make and keep this such a great game!
  11. I'd conjecture it will be big businesses too. This thing with small businesses happened just recently in West Lafayette a few years back when they shut down South Street by the campus to do a road change for the infrastructure. Vonn's Dough Shop closed as did a gas station that was on a corner where one of the new high rises exists now. They claims that having that street closed for most of the summer made it non-viable for them to continue. I think there were a couple other businesses that relocated or folder along that corridor as well at the time.
  12. Pioneer '18 35-34 LCC '09 Pioneer '18 35-31 LCC '10 LCC '11 35-28 Pioneer '18 Pioneer '18 31-28 LCC '12 LCC '15 35-31 Pioneer '18 Would definitely make for some good football.
  13. Calpreps says 2017 Ben Davis takes a single game match-up.
  14. Even in the case of the French study, France's High Council of Health recommended against using hydroxychloroquine with the exception of serious forms of hospitalization. https://www.france24.com/en/20200324-chloroquine-can-work-some-insist-as-debate-on-using-anti-malaria-drug-against-coronavirus-rages FTA: At a press conference Monday, French Health Minister Olivier Véran announced that France’s High Council of Public Health had recommended not using hydroxychloroquine “in the absence of a recommendation, with the exception of serious forms of hospitalisation and on the collegial decision of doctors and under strict medical supervision”. Véran added that the High Council of Public Health “excludes any prescription in the general population or for forms not severe at this stage, in the absence of any conclusive data”. Following this opinion, Véran noted that in the coming hours he would issue a decree precisely framing and regulating the use of this treatment outside the traditional marketing authorisations for hydroxychloroquine, "which will be accessible to hospital medical teams who wish it", he added Monday at a press briefing.
  15. About 24 hours ago you were saying this about Fauci ... Are you sure the President should be associated with him?
  16. Not really sure how you came up advocating individuals kill themselves. I know that the typical MO is to attempt to puts words in the mouths of posters, but even if so, this one's a
  17. You don't know what "anecdotal" means, do you? Here's what the CDC says ... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/therapeutic-options.html Due to higher in-vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its wider availability in the United States compared with chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine has been administered to hospitalized COVID-19 patients on an uncontrolled basis in multiple countries, including in the United States. One small study reported that hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin reduced detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory tract specimens compared with a non-randomized control group but did not assess clinical benefit [7]. Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are associated with QT prolongation and caution is advised when considering these drugs in patients with chronic medical conditions (e.g. renal failure, hepatic disease) or who are receiving medications that might interact to cause arrythmias. Hydroxychloroquine is currently under investigation in clinical trials for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and treatment of patients with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. In the United States, several clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection are planned or will be enrolling soon. More information on trials can be found at: https://clinicaltrials.gov/external icon. There are no currently available data from Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) to inform clinical guidance on the use, dosing, or duration of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although optimal dosing and duration of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 are unknown, some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally different hydroxychloroquine dosing such as: 400mg BID on day one, then daily for 5 days; 400 mg BID on day one, then 200mg BID for 4 days; 600 mg BID on day one, then 400mg daily on days 2-5. Heard it's best if you take it with "kool-aid."
  18. Reporter: "Dr. Fauci, it was explained yesterday there has been promise with hydroxy-chloroquine, this potential therapy for people who are infected with coronavirus. Is there any evidence to suggest that, as with malaria, it might be used as a prophylaxis against COVID-19?" Fauci: "The answer is no. And the evidence that you’re talking about, John, is anecdotal evidence. So, as the commissioner of FDA and the president mentioned yesterday, we’re trying to strike a balance between making something with a potential of an effect to the American people available, at the same time that we do it, under the auspices of a protocol that would give us information to determine if it’s truly safe and truly effective. But the information that you’re referring to specifically is anecdotal. It was not done in a controlled, clinical trial. So, you really can’t make any definitive statement about it."
  19. Approved for treatment and prevention of COVID-19. Look at the President's statements and you can see that he's talking specifically about treatment for COVID, not in general for something else. Geez, Rogaine's been FDA-approved too for many years, but not for contraception.
  20. Has nothing to do with it ... the President said those statements and they hadn't been approved. Matter of fact, the subsequent post helps promote the point in the danger of misinformation ... especially the commentary of the "power of the U.S. Presidency" which can lead to unintentional, or perhaps, intentional consequences. Perhaps some Senators might be investing in Teva at this point?
  21. "It's shown very encouraging -- very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. And that's where the FDA has been so great. They -- they've gone through the approval process; it's been approved. And they did it -- they took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we're going to be able to make that drug available by prescription or states." "Normally the FDA would take a long time to approve something like that, and it's -- it was approved very, very quickly and it's now approved, by prescription." Except that it hasn't been approved by the FDA.
  22. Life is pretty unfulfilling if it's all about winning/losing. It's about the journey. Been in "losses" before in my life where there was plenty to learn and grow. Consequently, I've been in many "wins" that weren't much more than one number on one side of the scoreboard being bigger than the other. Like @Gipper said, "Life is better when we're all successful." When I was a center director back in the day, I had a piece of art in my office that was captioned, "There's no better exercise for the heart than reaching out and lifting people up."
  23. Four of my kids are still in school ... my two oldest attend Purdue, so classes resumed, albeit online, for them today. My two youngest are homeschooled and, just like on snowdays, class continues for them. My middle child, who attends public school full-time is basically now on extended Spring Break until May 1 ... and driving the rest of us bonkers. For my wife and I, we are both with employers that have us working from home, so we can't even "escape" to the office. 😀
