Everyone should consider attending one of our upcoming free health screening events. After a simple fingerstick you will have a physician consultation and receive educational materials about any conditions for which you may be at risk. The whole process will only take 20 minutes, and no appointments are necessary. Please fast for…
Thank you Smile Politely for doing this interview. International law professor Francis Boyle is an amazing person. I fully support his filed complaints against the Bush II administration for their crimes. If these people are not held responsible for their illegal actions, then current and future Administrations…
and the other half? do I detect damning with faint praise? But I get your drift about the six seats sold, although they will be competing for something with a leg up. Not that it would matter to one of the top, um, 20 or so, no…
I’m not sure what I mean, either. I may be echoing the off-the-cuff sentiments of Dean Hurd: It really doesn’t matter if those last six seats were sold to the highest bidder. The six least-qualified people aren’t going to be competing for big dollars. But…
I’m not quite sure what Rob’s somewhat cryptic comments indicate, but I’ll make a guess: the comment about 90 percent of UI grads not being up to snuff is bitterly sarcastic (and rightly so). The point is that the ratings and rankings game is endemic in the…
@Stuart: Speaking as a U of I LAS grad, you learn me. @UrbanaJake: I agree with your anger. BUT, “They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted.“ isn’t true. And since we know you said it to make a point, I get…
Rob, You are Exhibit A in being a drone. No one cares—you are part of a scam. Blacks, Chicanos, others, didn’t get a fair shake. They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted. Now they sit with no law degree and are…
When I was in law school (‘95-‘98) the big firms were interviewing ONLY the top 10% of each class. It said so in black & white on the little cards posted outside the career services office. That’s 18 to 21 people. Why? Because their studied…
Well perhaps I did have a bone to pick, Stuart. Given the Law School scandal has little to do with a prof trying to make a worthwhile point in an international forum. I owe you a beer at your favorite watering hole. Maybe I live in a world…

I love eating Vietnamese food, and having growing up my entire life eating it, I was excited to go. I really wanted to like this place because of all of the hype I had heard——unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. I got the pho (vietnamese soup) and thought…
Kaiyo was decent for a sushi buffet, but it definitely isn’t as good as KO fusion. I thought it was better than any sushi I’ve ever had at a chinese buffet, but was not as good as my least favorite sushi item at KO fusion. However, I…
What is an antibiotic-free egg? And how can you tell?
Great article. I’ve always found that by making it in the blender, I can be my typical impatient self and pour tons of oil in at once. It’s very forgiving that way, though not fool proof.
I will be at Danu this evening. And seeing as tomorrow - St. Pat’s - is my birthday, I will be celebrating with tons of green and fun!
Big Blue will actually be on 6-9, despite what is posted elsewhere. Then, hightail it over to Bentley’s!
Ahh - good point - I will plug them in the appropriate sections.
Yeeee! This sounds so fun! Any word on covers for any/all of these? Maybe SP could spring for punch cards and some discounts if we make it to all, eh?
Ok, just tell me when I can exhale - Just curious, since all the globalists, carbon traders, and pretty much anyone with copious amounts of wealth have weighed in on population reduction in recent years, i was wondering what yer magic number was. Some of the more…
ESPN360!!!!! For those that don’t know, you can watch the ESPNs’ games on your puter.
...and given the lack of smiley emoticons i chose to employ, that reads far more sarcastically than i ever intended (my apologies). i actually find this to be a great article and an interesting discussion, seriously : )
Once it leaves the basement, it is then called what? hmmm…....could it be mainstream? accessible? appealing on a mass-level? POP??? Quickly it will become a fad, over-saturate the media, and piss people off. Then everyone can write articles based on how that shit sucks, too. chickens are…
So John is seeing all comments as being authored by John. I am seeing all comments as authored by me. The first comment was Mysterious McDade who evidently acquired an Optimism Hat and is now seeing how it fits.
No, everyone is me! Muahahaha! I so didn’t make that first comment so I thought maybe someone was trying to get my goat, adding me to the staff. I hope jumping to that conclusion is forgivable. Yeah, uh, I guess I should say that I swear I…
I have reached Nirvana, I guess. Everyone is me.
Something weird is happening.
WTF guys? Does impersonating a user in the comments section run afoul of your commenting policy?
In general, I think music is much more interesting now than in 1995. I definitely am very glad contemporary music has expanded beyond the four-piece rock lineup that dominated much of the 90’s. The point of the above isn’t so much about a sound or an instrument…
2010 is not 1995. I’m not sure why anyone would expect a music scene to remain stationary as the world of popular music moves around it. Also, today, making popular music with mainstream appeal and being innovative and cutting-edge are usually exact opposites.
I didn’t know that the LED was created here. That’s awesome.

“Adam Scott, original author of the Bulls Balls article, did not respond when asked to comment on this decision, probably because his email now filters out messages with the phrase “Bulls Balls” in them.“ And he should, as he put up a picture of an imitators product…
