Total U.S. debt will be $35T at the end of this year. Current debt service costs on obligations coming due is roughly 5%. We have a large amount of debt coming due in the next 12 months. Do the math

$35T x .5% = $1.75T in debt service. This is assuming we can keep debt service at 5% which is hardly a guarantee due to the extremely large amount of treasuries which have to be sold. The Federal Reserves is about the only buyer of U.S. Treasuries at this point. Just printed money. It’s a shell game.

At what point will our political leaders address this issue.? What point will the media cover this issue?. What point will the American people pay attention? Assume the answer to all the above is “when everything crashes and we can’t pay entitlements or we continue to print money and inflation hits 20-30% (maybe higher).

Anyone familiar with the Sheffield United local club. They are looking to start a team for “2013 youth”. My son has been approached about his son signing up?
Should 6 year olds really be in a competitive club like Sheffield?

Marquis, hits the portal. Probably graduating. Good luck.

After the 1994 & 1995 TU MBB NCAA Sweet 16 teams went into the Hall of Fame Saturday, coach Tubby Smith spoke. Some interesting stuff about the current landscape of college athletics, and Lou Dawkins and Gary Collier added their thoughts at the end:

Thought it was high time to have a counter thread to Aston’s . Will start with this gem

I figured I would start this thread. My son will be playing for Union (starting JV goalie and varsity backup). I will learn a lot tomorrow about what the season will look like and who the teams to beat after tomorrow's preseason festival in BA. I know Union will be playing BA and Bixby and there may be a 3rd game thrown in. Things kick at BA's Kirkland Complex (between 71st and 81st on Lynn Lane) at 2pm for Union (Union varsity/JV vs BA at 2pm (I would assume main field will be varsity, lower field for JV). Union will then play Bixby at 4:15pm (same set up).

BA has something like 10 seniors on their team this year. Union has 18! And while 18 seems a lot there are about 8 of them that have never appeared in a varsity game...I do think most of them are at least rostered with varsity for the start of the season. Out of the 18, the entire Union defense is seniors and have been starting and playing together for the last 3 years. The back 5 all play for the Blitz 04/05 EA team and the GK plays for the TSC 04/05 ECNL team. Interestingly the primary goal scorer will be a junior...and he's one of the fastest people I've ever seen with the ball at his feet. Union is also working with a 2 HC system this year as 2 of the assistants are basically sharing interim HC duties...Union's HC is dealing with a custody issue in one of the tribal court systems right now and is away from the team. From what I've heard Union will be among the top 4 teams in the state along with BA, Norman North, and maybe one of the Edmond schools (Memorial or North...will learn more about them this Saturday at the Deer Creek tournament). Bixby lost a lot last year but may have the top returning GK in the state in Casey Copenhaver. Owasso also has an excellent GK but the rest of that team lacks speed and technical precision. Jenks will be solid but believe it or not they're still struggling to find a way to replace Will Edwards...they just don't have that dynamic special player to carry them when needed nor enough dynamic pieces to make up the production, a la the Oakland A's moneyball roster.

Just as I feared... January 6th is going to become a Beerhall Putsch for Trump and his insane followers.

This is exactly why Trump should have been convicted when he was impeached.

FIBA rules call all fouls on offensive players initiating contact while dribbling. If NCAA officials start following this pattern as has been recommended then 80% of Haggerty’s game is gone. Team USA lost to France in the Olympics for this exact reason. TU was hoping they would never change to this interpretation but now maybe we would be okay with it. With rules as currently interpreted, the defender cannot keep from being called with a foul when contact is initiated by the offensive player.

Haggerty was one of the best in the nation at what is called “foul baiting “.

Pasteurization seems to break the flu down, but who would have thought bird flu would infect cows?


Commercial milk supply

On April 24, the US FDA announced it found genetic evidence of H5N1 virus in commercially purchased milk samples. The testing, conducted with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cannot distinguish between whole virus or viral fragments. H5N1 viral remnants have also been identified in milk samples by NIAID-funded researchers and a team from Ohio State University. The results indicate the H5N1 outbreak in dairy herds is likely far more widespread than official counts indicate. Preliminary culture tests are so far negative for viable virus in the milk supply, but tests are ongoing.

The FDA and USDA have said that based on currently available information, the US commercial milk supply is safe because it undergoes the pasteurization process and milk from cows known to be sick is diverted from the supply and destroyed. Pasteurization is likely to inactivate the virus but not eliminate the presence of viral particles that could be detected using PCR testing. HPAI H5N1 has been found almost exclusively in raw milk in the current outbreak, and the FDA reiterated its longstanding recommendation to avoid its consumption.
