  1. No, it is not a plan. It is a critical examination of an approach used in refugee camps. Try reading the summary that says this is not feasible. And note the emphasis on refugees. "Public health not only focuses on the eradication of disease but addresses the entire spectrum of health and wellbeing. Populations displaced, due to natural disasters or war and, conflict are already fragile and have experienced increased mental, physical and/or emotional trauma. While the shielding approach is not meant to be coercive, it may appear forced or be misunderstood in humanitarian settings. As with many community interventions meant to decrease COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, compliance and behavior change are the primary rate-limiting steps and may be driven by social and emotional factors. These changes are difficult in developed, stable settings; thus, they may be particularly challenging in humanitarian settings which bring their own set of multi-faceted challenges that need to be taken into account. Household-level shielding seems to be the most feasible and dignified as it allows for the least disruption to family structure and lifestyle, critical components to maintaining compliance. However, it is most susceptible to the introduction of a virus due to necessary movement or interaction outside the green zone, less oversight, and often large household sizes. It may be less feasible in settings where family shelters are small and do not have multiple compartments. In humanitarian settings, small village, sector/block, or camp-level shielding may allow for greater adherence to proposed protocol, but at the expense of longer-term social impacts triggered by separation from friends and family, feelings of isolation, and stigmatization. Most importantly, accidental introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission and increased morbidity and mortality as observed in assisted care facilities in the US.26 This is what intelligent people do. They consider all the alternatives, examine each one critically, reject those that do not work, and provide a write up of their analysis so that others may benefit from it. What demagogues do is write disingenuous articles about it aimed at riling up people who will not think for themselves.
  2. It is just easier to look for 40-0 or better since different conferences have different sized brackets. The last to do that was Ben Askren, who did it two years in a row. 2006 he went 45-0, 2007 he went 42-0. That also shows the problem. He had to fatten up on a lot of cupcakes to get to those numbers. He has talked about it on FRL too. Even looking at Sanderson's totals it includes a wins over teammates wrestling unattached, and wrestlers from Augustana, Coe College, Cumberland, Minnesota State-Mankato, Montana State-Northern, Millersville, Montclair State, Nebraska-Kearney, Portland State, Southern Colorado, SUNY-Buffalo, Wartburg, and William Penn, none of which would count now.
  3. We are both wrong. I missed Mendez because of the loses. And I just noticed he said regular season. I think the right answer is 2015 Gabe Dean who wrestled 32 D1 regular season matches and 35 total regular season matches.
  4. I do not trust that Putin has the same definition of crazy as the rest of us.
  5. Exactly 32? Ashnault in 2019. Parris wrestled 33 in 2023. noblesse oblige
  6. The point is that the article is jam packed with lies. There was no CDC plan. The document he references is a critique by the CDC of documents written by the London School of Hygiene about how to deal with refugees in refugee camps. When they refer to camps and camp-like settings they are referring to the following footnotes: 1. WHO. Pandemic influenza preparedness and mitigation in refugee and displaced populations WHO guidelines for humanitarian agencies Second edition. 2008. 2. Blundell H, Milligan R, Norris SL, Garner P. WHO guidance for refugees in camps: systematic review. BMJ Open. 2019;9:1–7. But you would have to actually read the CDC document and then look at the documents referenced in its footnotes and, in turn, read their footnotes to get that. All of that involves a willingness to think for yourself rather than rely on the clearly biased opinion of someone who has poorly written his article to conceal the truth. He is so general and vague in so many places that warning bells should have been ringing.
  7. Until the NIL Go rules are clear (there will inevitably be more litigation), I spend the money on coaches and facilities. Facilities are there to stay and coaches can be tied down with contracts. But if pay-to-play returns (and I think it will) then I drop facilities from the equation and give that chunk to athletes.
  8. I am trying to decide who read less of the CDC document, you or the author of this hilariously bad article (26 footnotes? Ooooo, scary).
  9. The English, who invented the game, invented the word soccer.
  10. Wait. Does this mean immigrants were not eating our pets?
  11. In 16 months Trump went from "the Epstein Files will expose the Democrats" to " the files were written by the Democrats". Kinda makes you think there are no Democrats in there after all. Oops. But Trumps? Absolutely. β€œWhy are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration?”
  12. There was just no way to predict that Putin could not be trusted. I mean, Trump empathisizes with autocrats, he identifies with them, he knows how they think. He gets beautiful letters from them. He trusts Putin over his own intelligence staff. He even talked about outsourcing intelligence work to Russia. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-sides-with-putin-over-u-s-intelligence-in-remarkable-helsinki-press-conference/ Trump is tight with Vlad. No one told him that Putin was untrustworthy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ukraine-president-volodymyr-zelenskyy-2025-60-minutes-interview-transcript/
  13. Infantino did it as a bribe to ensure that when the World Cup is in the US, Canada, and Mexico Trump will not ban travel from any qualifying countries.
  14. I do not doubt there are a large number of politicians on both sides of the aisle on the client list, but only Trump was dumb enough to make it an issue in order to get elected.
  15. Even worse for sports betting. Every bet is considered a session. Nevada federal legislators are crafting a new bill to try to overturn this element.
  16. A late change to the Big Beautiful Bill (I chuckle every time) reduced the deduction for gambling loses to 90% from 100%. Say you won $5k and lost $5k over the course of the year. Previously you would have no reportable net income. Now you will have $500 in taxable income, even though you had no income. My guess is that most casual gamblers do not report either wins or loses on their taxes, so this can seem like a so what. But in the case of an audit you should expect them to look at your online gambling history and hit you with a bill and a fine.
  17. Like Homer Simpson, who invented a meal between breakfast and brunch, I am an innovator.
  18. And another thing.... Its pinfall. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
  19. Don't listen to these guys. It's OSU, OSU and OSU. Dealer's choice.
  20. Hold all tickets. Today the Class Counsel took exception to the College Sports Commission's guidance with regard to collectives. β€œWe urge the CSC to retract the July CSC Memorandum and clarify that the valid business purpose requirement applies to NIL collectives in the same manner as any other entity,” the letter said. β€œIf the CSC does not retract the statement, Class Counsel will have no choice but to pursue relief from the Special Master as the July CSC Memorandum is already causing injury to class members.”
  21. Oops Yes, the Banachs too Meaning back-to-back happened in 1982, 1983, and 1984. And each time it was brothers, and only brothers.
  22. can't believe I misspelled Sebastian
  23. prior to 2103 it was scored as a 64 man bracket. So if the bracket had more than 32 wrestlers any non-pigtail winners of a first round match got an extra advancement point just for showing up.
  24. Brothers have won back-to-back six times. MSU's Merle and Burl Jennings in 1942 Oklahoma State's Dwayne and Darrell Keller in 1970 Oklahoma's Dave and Mark Schultz in 1982 Nebraska's Jim and Bill Scherr in 1984 And the aforementioned Brands boys in 1990 and 1992
  25. The lowest seeded pair to win bac-to-back are Oklahoma's Mike Sage (US) and Jerry Staley (6) in 1964
