Yes, he's for real.  Don't you know that high school athletics exists for
the sole purpose of creating athletes for college athletics which exists
for the sole purpose of creating athletes for professional sports?  It's
really just a big farm system that the pro teams would hate to disturb
because it might end up costing them money.  Who cares if these guys have
a rudimentary knowledge of the basics?  They don't need to know how to
speak - the media will interview them, anyway.  And they don't need to
know how to count all that money, either, cuz they can hire accountants to
do that for them.  As long as they can sign their name or some semblance
thereof, that's all the education they need.

Actually, there was an interesting comment made in the article that has
some validity.  One of the coaches was quoted as saying that by the time
the athletes get to the point of taking the SAT, it's too late to teach
basics.  The basics should've been learned in elementary school, not the
jr. and sr. years of high school.  He said that maybe we should be paying
the elementary school teachers the most.  Interesting thought.

I just recently moved to Texas and discovered this strange confection

butter log candy stick have to do with a chicken?  Why does the chicken
on the box wear a law enforcement badge?  Indeed.

I must know.

	No offense taken. It's not the size, it's what you do with it. ;-)
	The Austin Library "system" is spread out to many MANY branches,
	13 or so, Most of the books are in the branches. You can request

The real problem is in using our institutions of higher learning as
staging areas for our pro sports.  We should establish serious
minor leagues for football and basketball so that athletes who don't
want to go to college and who are not yet ready for pro sports can
devote their energies in a less-competitive forum intended for the
purpose.  Let's face it--there are excellent athletes out there who
have no business getting anywhere near a university (either because
they're not academically inclined or because they simply don't want
the education).  The college coach gets stuck playing babysitter to
jocks whose only concern is to make a billion dollars farting around
on ESPN for the amusement of a nation full of armchair quarterbacks.
I can't imagine what would be more humiliating for a great athlete,
or embarrassing for a university, than for the athlete to fake his
or her way through an "education" just to get a shot at the pros.

Baseball has established a pretty deep minor league/farm league
structure for jock husbandry.  Let's cut the paternalistic delusions
going on at our universities and do the same for basketball and
football.

And when's ESPN going to start carrying Running Man?  :-)

Take care,
Lindsey

AR Stereo Remote Control				$50 obo

This is an infrared remote control device that can be attached to any
stereo system that has a tape loop.  It offers control over on/off,
volume, balance, and source select.  Can be used with older units that
don't have built in remote control.

To use it, you would connect it in the tape loop of the receiver.  You
then make any tape deck connections to the back of the AR unit.  You
can still use a tape deck, the AR unit is just placed within the loop.
You then set the receiver to monitor the tape and adjust the volume to 
near maximum.  You can now use the remote control to adjust the actual
volume and select between the sources.  

Email or call if you would like more information.

I have two super-single futons and a maple frame that I am trying to sell.
The super-single futons, when placed on top of each other, are approx
8" thick.  A super-single futon is about 4" narrower than a double sized
mattress.  The futons are in very good shape.  The frame is made
out of maple.   The frame raises the futons about 12" off the floor.
The original prices for these items were $125 per futon and $225 for the 
frame.  Everything is about 2 years old, so I depreciated accordingly.
$100 takes the entire set up.
My home phone is 479-0506 or send e-mail.

I have three Sierra games for sale, that I want to get rid of.  All three
are in perfect shape.  

   Quest for Glory I, new 256 color version
   Space Quest IV     
   King's Quest V

I'd like to sell them all together.  First person to offer $55 (I'll cover
the shipping) takes them.  I'll sell them separately for $25 a piece, but
I'd rather just sell them all together.
