    FUCK YOU, RON WELLMAN

    Hypothetically, what safeguards (institutional, legal, financial, etc.) exist to prevent an employee at a private business/institution from (1) awarding a fully-guaranteed eight-figure contract extension to an underperforming subordinate, (2) announcing his or her retirement approximately...

    Go Git 'Em, Danny !

    From the article: "Pittsburgh has a standard policy in place of not allowing an undergraduate transfer to go to ACC schools or a program on next season's schedule, and one source told ESPN that those restrictions will be included in the each player's release."

    Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

    Here's definitive proof that a good guy with a gun doesn't always stop a bad guy with a gun. (CNN) Deputy Scot Peterson, the 6-foot-5-inch school resource officer assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, resigned Thursday, under investigation for failing to enter the building as a...

    Red Panda’s Unicycle Stolen

    Didn’t see this posted. Sad news. Her halftime shows at Wake home basketball games were really entertaining. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/halftime-hit-red-panda-heartbroken-over-unicycle-theft/17304056/ I saw elsewhere that some schools are offering rewards for the unicycle’s return. I wonder...

    Who is the greatest living film director?

    Interesting topic. Based on continued relevance, career longevity, and overall directorial filmography (both quantity and quality), I think it is between Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Somewhat related, but I was amazed to learn of the career of the late actor John Cazale (1935–1978)...

    NFL Offseason Thread: 2018 NFL Draft

    Not to mention the fact that his team gets to play the Browns twice per season. In addition to being second only to Belichick (in win percentage), he’s also also runner-up to Bill on the list of largest single fines ever given to a head coach in NFL history...

    Will Wake Forest be hurt by the new tax bill (re: tax on endowment). Short answer: No

    I didn't see this discussed in the Tax Reform thread, but thought it was worth a separate discussion. "Senate Republicans passed a comprehensive tax bill this past weekend, [...adding] multiple amendments with broad-reaching implications for higher education to the bill on Friday, just hours...

    Time to eliminate the Liberty University Football series

    Does Wake pay Liberty for the "privilege" of this 2-for-1 series? I truly hope not, but some quick research suggests that it may be the case. For example, UVA has six contests with Liberty over the next 13 years. Under these separate 2-for-1 deals, UVA will be paying Liberty $500,000 to play in...

    Texas shooting

    According to this blog (link), a two-part test in Texas is used to determine whether a third party was allowed to use deadly force in defense of another on the basis of two reasonable beliefs. Texas Penal Code 9.33 A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect...

    First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

    Understood. But the statute talks about "donations of money" as separate from "contributions." The former is more straightforward (and perhaps less applicable to the current understanding of this case) than the latter.

    First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

    Definition of "Contribution" This was a very thorough analysis. Thank you. That said, I would like to point out that the statute (52 U.S. Code § 30101) has Definitions to provide additional guidance. Section 8 therein describes, in subsections A and B, what a "contribution" does and does not...
