  1. 165 #4 Ramirez of Cornell loss to #29 Fish of MSU by a score of 8-4. All other 1-4 seeds have won up to 184 lbs. Please add what may transpire here. mspart
  2. https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive Marijuana use disorders are often associated with dependence—in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana frequently often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.20,21 Marijuana dependence occurs when the brain adapts to large amounts of the drug by reducing production of and sensitivity to its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters. https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/addiction.html Some people who use marijuana will develop marijuana use disorder, meaning that they are unable to stop using marijuana even though it’s causing health and social problems in their lives. One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1 Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2 The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3 Say again? I disagree with your first two points. Agree with your last 3 points. mspart
  3. He went 61 in the Dan Kolov tourney and got creamed 11-1 by Kaise Tanabe (JPN). I think he goes back to 57. mspart
  4. That is a response but not to the question I asked you. Here it is again in case you forgot: What do you think about the folks at the UC Davis throwing eggs, used pepper spray on breaking windows, and spraying graffitti as a protest of his very presence at the university? mspart
  5. So the thread starts with evil government and Plasi plays that as a religious thing. I think BB is correct, he has little reading comprehension. mspart
  6. Plasi, Since you have not heard of him until now, what do you think about the folks at the UC Davis throwing eggs, used pepper spray on breaking windows, and spraying graffitti as a protest of his very presence at the university? I'll even provide some links so you can read all about it. From left, middle, and right wing media sources. So you can pick and choose which you prefer. But just a hint, they all report the same thing. And guess what? Police Officers were assaulted and injured as part of mostly peaceful fun!! https://www.kcra.com/article/2-arrested-building-vandalized-uc-davis-event-conservative-activist/43326784 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/elon-musk-others-respond-after-protesters-smash-windows-hurl-eggs-at-charlie-kirk-event-on-college-campus/ar-AA18E5Bp?li=BBnbfcL https://www.foxnews.com/us/elon-musk-respond-protesters-smash-windows-hurl-eggs-charlie-kirk-event-college-campus https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-musk-charlie-kirk-campus-protest-b2301722.html https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article273154315.html mspart
  7. He knew the risks. Whether pot should or shouldn't be illegal, is not the issue. It is illegal to use. Therefore, he was not too serious about being in competition or is addicted and can't stop. Either way it is a problem. mspart
  8. 55 might be too much of a cut. But Gilman is in the room and maybe he thinks he has a chance. I would guess not. 61 this is more than likely. Going against Seth or Daton would be more up his alley. That would be quite interesting. mspart
  9. Accountability - Something the left hates except when applied to the right. mspart
  10. It's a good tactic except it is for juveniles. This is not how adults handle things. It is crazy that Law students at Stanford just can't stand to listen to an opinion that doesn't meet with theirs. How can these people become good law people if they cannot see the other side or even just listen to the other side? It is just too dangerous because they are out of their safe space. Coddling these ingrates really needs to stop. And the Head of DEI justified them in front of them and did all but cradle them in her arms. mspart
  11. Yikes! Only one more day until the big dance starts!!! mspart
  12. So did he lose his Bronze or not? I didn't know Chamizo lived in NY. That's interesting. Quite different than what he experienced in Cuba I would say. mspart
  13. Good thing the Capitol wasn't firebombed during this extremely serious insurrection like the CHAZ/CHOP zone did to the police station there. Not only that, another police station was firebombed with people inside and those mostly peaceful protesting insurrectionists tried to bar the door closed so no one could get out. That's attempted murder. But all that is ok, because that pales in comparison to Jan 6 where there was no attempted murder, no firebombings? Again, if Jan 6 was an insurrection, where was their armed military staff? Where was the firebombing? Where was the attempted and accomplished murder? (note: all deaths but one were of natural causes, stroke, heart attack etc) Where were the weapons of this unholy mob of insurrectionists? Where was the attempt to seize power? Where were the hostages? Where were the demands? And last but certainly not least, why was there a 2 hour time limit on the insurrection? After 2 hours, Capitol Police said time to go home and they all left. Now that was one heck of a serious unmitigated horrendous and extremely dangerous insurrection. You guys are stretching this to say it was a full fledged insurrection. There are examples of such if you care to look at them. If laws were broken, those that did so should be punished. But properly so, not by withholding evidence of an exculpatory nature. DOJ is again embarrassed by their lack of following the rules of a legal court proceeding. mspart
  14. De nada!! mspart
  15. Based on the latest videos, I think you would be hard pressed to call them all insurrectionists. There may have been a few with that motivation but based on what I have seen, most did not. Do insurrectionists wield phone cameras as their weapon of choice? Do insurrectionists destroy the building or keep it in general state of repair? Do insurrectionists give up after 2 hours when told to go home? Do insurrectionists plan an insurrection without the benefit of weapon of any kind? I think you would be hard pressed to say that as a truth these were all insurrectionists. mspart
  16. Biden giveth and Biden taketh away. I'm happy that he giveth but like the article said, likely the opened Willow area will be subject to numerous lawsuits. mspart
  17. I got more. mspart
  18. Scourge, Thank you for providing the link. I wonder why I hadn't heard of this? This did not make general news here did it? I don't remember any of this. Those from Azerbaijan that did this are monsters and need to be inflicted with international law or national law. I did not see that these guys are heroes for this, but that does not speak well of the country in general. Blood thirsty animals. mspart
  19. Austin DeSanto was on the Honor Roll. Not saying what field of study that was!! mspart
  20. Well, that's why they do the wrestling and see where it all comes out. mspart
  21. Not knowing better, I will agree with you on the customers. I agree with the $100M too, except they have pros taking care of their money so it can be done. Might not be worth the fees vs the bank fees but I don't know. SVB was 89% beyond insurance. This meaning that 89% of the money in SVB was beyond the $250k/account threashold. I'm not sure I would call those folks standard banking customers. I certainly wouldn't qualify as a standard bank customer at SVB. I can't find how many accounts were fully FDIC insured there. That might be interesting to know. How many accounts total, and how many fully insured. That info might support your position, or not, depending on the makeup of the account depositers. mspart
  22. I think it would be good for DF to get a win here, but overall I agree with CB. mspart
  23. WKN - You know nothing!!! Very good description. Why is this all happening now? I heard today that SVB went 8 months last year without a Risk Officer, someone watching the stuff you describe. I hope for all of our sakes that this is isolated but the article I presented shows a larger effect. Hopefully that calms down. Now for another question: FDIC insures each account for $250k. So if I had 1 million in SVB in one account, should I be able to demand all of that or just the $250k? FDIC made a decision on this, and it seems like we are making exceptions here. It seems it would have been smarter for me to have 4 accounts with $250k in each or possibly 5 with $200k in each. Then I would be covered right? Or is it per depositer? I also heard that when you did something with SVB you had to keep your money and accounts with them. It does make it easier by not having to go to several different banks to take care of your needs, but that seems like a local bank rule that may need to be looked at. No doubt the bank officers and shareholders should lose out. That's how it works. I hope they do not get bailed out or that will create a bigger threat to the economy I think. But I think the gov et al reimbursing 100% is not proper, legal, or good financial business. mspart
  24. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-news-today-live-updates-march-13-2023-114351107.html The moves came after stocks got smoked on Friday, rounding out their worst week so far this year. Federal regulators closed tech-focused lender Silicon Valley Bank in the biggest U.S. bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis. President Joe Biden addressed the nation Monday morning regarding the turmoil in the financial sector. Biden said that “no losses will be borne by the taxpayers” and he assured customers that they would be protected. The president also vowed to ask Congress and regulators to strengthen rules for banks. His remarks came after regulators took extraordinary action Sunday to stem the fallout in the baking sector. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg announced that depositors of the failed Silicon Valley Bank would be able to access all their money starting Monday. The saga of Silicon Valley Bank has had a rippling effect on a second bank: Signature Bank (SBNY) was closed Sunday, the second bank failure in three days. Among the measures, the Fed said depositors would be made whole. It created a new “Bank Term Funding Program” (BTFP) facility that enables other banks to obtain quick cash in exchange for collateral. Meanwhile, the sour bank sentiment spread across regional banks Monday, as the KBW Bank index (^BKX) fell nearly 12%, while index members including Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citigroup (C) all traded down. JPMorgan analysts led by Marko Kolanovic said in a note to clients that the stock plunge for larger banks was "overdone," but they did point to "emerging cracks" dating back to banks' fourth-quarter earnings that painted a daunting picture in the nearer term. "While we do not believe there is a banking crisis in the making and the SVB situation is somewhat unique, we do expect increased investor scrutiny of banks," the analysts said. Other regional bank stocks including First Republic Bank (FRC) plummeted more than 60% after JP Morgan lent the bank a hand. The California-based bank secured funding from the Wall Street giant that gives it more than $70 billion in unused liquidity. PacWest Bancorp (PACW), Zions Bancorporation (ZION), Regions Financial (RF), and Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL) stocks were halted Monday morning, triggered by volatility. The stocks ended the day down 20%, 26%, 7%, and 47%, respectively. SVB is having an affect on the financial system. Stocks generally were down today after being up on Biden's optimism. There is more to this article but 10 banks got hit hard today as named above. mspart
