AI is artificial, but it is not intelligent. I has a greater capacity for good work in certain areas like graphics and visualization. It is not very good with finances. I have no idea how well it does in other sectors like the military.

Please read carefully what Mark Rocchio said, particularly the last paragraph shown in Hoosier Pal's last post. They do not appear to have identified a medical cause for his cramps. They are going to give him a try-out practice test to see if they can figure out if they can use Thames during play. Again, they do not know what is causing his cramps and, unless they can figure out how to use him (Thames) in play he may or may not play during the season. The decision to have him play is in the air at this time. Of course, Thames wants to play.

@VeniceMenace The stuff that generally builds up in the muscles and causes the cramps is lactic acid, and the name of the medical condition is lactic acidosis. In cramps the lactic acidosis is localized to a muscle or muscles, not generalized (generalized lactic acidosis is usually a life end condition), the lactic acid just cannot be removed fast enough from the affected area and manifests as cramps. There are a large number of conditions, some of them genetic, that manifest through localized lactic acidosis and cramps. I am pretty certain that they have no idea what is causing the build up in Thames' case. 05 is correct saying that you cannot predict how long he can play in a given day before the cramps bring him down. I also know that Schertz likewise has no idea about what is causing the cramps. Thames is a good player that will play and continue playing until the cramps bring him down, same old story.

Remember the old saying "out of sight, out of mind." If you stop televising the games the Bills will most certainly fit the "out of sight" category, and will disappear from the public eye.

I you all are aware of the way the NCAA has handled cases like these, why are you surprised when the NCAA chooses Power teams to go to the Dance instead of mid majors with better win/loss records. You KNOW fairness has nothing to do with the NCAA decisions.

The new server appears to work just fine. Thank you.

What hat he is doing is requesting the server to start a sync which is done by an internal process within the server, and verified by the server after the sync's completion. This process is automatic and the server will indicate when it is done. The number of errors after such an automated process based sync should be minimal if any.

Believing in God and in Christianity does not mean believing in prayer. In case you have not noticed with your sharp journalistic perception, family style Christian churches are bursting with people and springing up everywhere. The US Catholic Church is closing parishes and schools everywhere. The Catholic Church is shrinking by leaps and bounds, at least in the US they are. The US Catholic Church has been importing priests from India and other places because we have a lack of native priests. Is this news to you? And by the way, you have no title of ownership or any right, to dictate how a person chooses to believe in God or be a Christian. Are you going to tell me next that I am condemning my eternal soul to rot in hell for eternity? If that is the case I appreciate your concern, and understand your "devotion" but I prefer to do things my own way.

It just crossed my mind that If you are ever visiting DC you might enjoy visiting Dumbarton Oaks. This is a large property owned by Harvard in Georgetown. It has fabulous formal English and French gardens and the mansion at the property houses Harvard's Byzantine and Pre-Colombian studies center. The house is a palace and contains a small museum with Byzantine antiquities and Pre-Colombian antiquities. A nice place to look at mosaics with Greek inscriptions and try to figure out what they say. There is no charge for visiting this place. It is a well hidden gem in DC, something tourists do not know is there. It is well worth your time, it is beautiful and the price is right.

Happy Easter, the Lord is risen.

It really does not matter how much money he makes. The pension is important but as long as he is playing with a regular contract the salary will increase. I am very glad to see him where he is currently and believe he has finally achieved his dream. Happy Easter to you and your family Jordan Goodwin.

You provided ample warning about what can happen, it is time to go ahead, see what problems surface, and fix them. I know it is easier said than done but that is the way things are. It takes time to get there but that is the way it is.

Thank you for sharing with us, and welcome to the Bills fans.

Good luck Steve, I remember when my company installed "upgrades" and the next working day the systems were really slow and some of the functions would do weird things.

A quick review of the fair number of posts since my post about the influence that lawyers being creative with their interpretations of the law are likely to have upon college sports makes me feel that you are all concerned about the possible incoming chaos. In case you are not aware of this, a civil (non criminal) trial is not a place where you find the truth about anything, it is a place where competing lawyers try to convince the jury that their point of view is the correct one. A civil trial is also a place where law as we know it is constantly altered by the results of new trials. Keep that in mind, when thinking about our future (SLU's future) in college sports. I think we will do very well IF we manage to roughly maintain our current status in college sports.

Interesting discussion. I would like to add my two cents worth of opinion to it. The issues involved with NILs and paying college athletes are complex and open to legal challenges. In my experience, the overabundance of lawyers in our country leads many firms to become creative in their pursuit of notoriety and income. This is understandable because without this kind of thinking generating creative legal interpretations and action, many law firms would likely go under. The situation described above is likely to generate an unending series of active law suits both individual but preferably class action suits (provided they can get enough claimants supporting the case). All of this activity will test all kinds of aspects of the basic legal issues involved in paying college athletes. Some suits will fail, but others will succeed, making the "injured" members of the claimant class or the injured individuals and their lawyers wealthier, and whoever is charged with paying the damages found significantly poorer. You can see the influence money has in generating all of the law suits already filed and the probably many other suits to be filed in the future. In my opinion, this legal process will definitely change the ways college sports will be played and financed in the not distant future.

Doc expert witnesses that will support whatever hare brained ideas the lawyers come up with are easy to find anywhere. I am sure he will have no problems finding a doc that can convince a jury he had serious incapacitating health issues. Every major employer HR department in the US keep docs on retainer to examine and approve benefits claims denials before they issue their claim denial. In case you do not understand what I am talking about, claims staff do not understand enough about medical issues for the HR department to risk going to trial without a real medical review by a trusted source.

I like Parker because he is a bundle of raw energy waiting to be shaped into purpose. Is Schertz the coach that can achieve this transformation? Who knows, maybe he is not this person, but if he is capable of doing this, Parker might be the spark that we need to light up our team. I assume that anyone that watched the ending rounds of the NCAA tournament is convinced that we plainly were not able to play at the level of those teams. We need a player or players to get us up to where we are competitive at that level.. I think Parker could be molded into the kind of player we need but this is my thinking. What matters is what Schertz is thinking.

I would really like to see a good effort to bring Sincere Parker back to the Bills.

Nice clip, I would say it is a jack up rig and considering the size of the waves, I would say it is located in the North Sea. How did I do?

Schertz is most certainly not Crews. He has been capable of choosing players that fit his system and can improve before he was hired by SLU. There is no reason at all to think that he cannot do the same for the Bills. We must remember that he became our head coach late in the season, and had limited opportunity to pick new players. This year is different, we will see how well he does with this year's player selections in the next season.

Their house was built on a slab, no basement.

My parent's house was sold soon after my mother died in the 80s. I like chips and dip.
