    Sort of like a Sooner or Husker?

    Broadly defined, Rule 11 tends give courts discretion to award attorney fees and other sanctions against attorneys and/or their clients who make frivolous or baseless claims or make filings solely to harass parties, increase their adversary's expenses or unnecessarily drag out court proceedings. These are case-by-case findings, but it seems that this filing would fit into the bucket if the State has the balls to pursue the sanction.

    Ward Johnson signed this? *cough* Rule 11 Sanctions *cough*

    He was a terrible attorney in private practice, so I would not have expected more from him as AG. What UND really needed was help from NoDak's congressional stooges. Florida State and Utah got full-throated support from their politicos at the beginning of this fiasco and it ended well for them. Nodak's clowns were MIA.

    If the recent BP Gulf cases are any indication, you can sue everyone in the chain of work, especially if they contributed to the harm in some respect.

    Qualtrics emails are out ... vote early, vote often, folks.

    I got my email, thankfully. Let's get this train wreck over, and move on.

    Only if he claims to be channeling the spirit of Crazy Horse in his initial pleadings.

    I hope he does sue, and gets his ass summarily bounced out of court, with an order to pay the defendants' attorney fees, and possibly a Rule 11 sanction.

    I kind of questioned that "study" too, when I saw that Washington & Lee was rated are more competitive than UVA.

    Considering Saudi dropped its oil pricing to Asia and the US late last week, I don't see them buckling on the production front. And they still are the 800 lb. gorilla in OPEC.

    The fix is in! Sundogs it is!!!!

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/01/sports/obannon-ncaa-case-court-of-appeals-ruling.html?_r=0 Sort of a mixed bag, in that COA appears intact, but it left the NC$$ liable to potential anti-trust exposure.

    Nope. Just linking an article stating the obvious.

    Pop?

    Not really a fan of any of them. I'm not sold on Rough Riders since any historical ties to the actual military unit TR organized are tenuous at best. The unit was largely organized in the southwest for the specific reason they wanted men who were used to hot, nasty climates, even though it probably had some troopers from NoDak. Besides, Rough Riders seems like a cheap and easy way to rip off Red River based on contrived historical convenience, regardless of awards, unofficial mottos, etc. Yes, I said "NoDak" as I've referred to myself that way many times, and I'm bemused by those who are offended by the term. (Nodak, please!) Better that than being a "Pumpkin Head" from West Virginia. Not really a fan of it for a team name. Sundogs and North Stars? Really? Fighting Hawks? Meh. Maybe, if only because I'm fond of birds of prey. So, who knows? I'll probably hold my nose and flip a coin for Rough Riders or Hawks, sort of like I do in most general elections ...

    According to the email it already has me registered based on the email address they have on file. I should still have an und.edu email address I used for Facebook years ago, but I have it forward any messages to my Gmail account. Be damned if I could recall the UND email address, let alone the password ...

    Well, I got my handy-dandy voting reminder card the other day, to go with my handy-dandy eligibility email. So let's get this done.

    Or you add internal security to your stores with thick plexiglass partitions, push through money slots, etc. For the companies, the costs probably outweigh the benefits for "customer experience" and the relatively small amount of cash these robberies take. It's also easier from a liability perspective if the employee just gives the money without any hassle.
  20. ScottM
    Or drop safes that ensure a minimal amount of cash after a certain time. Some clerk making minimum wage should not be expected to deter a robber, armed or otherwise.

    Proof positive, kids, that you should never drink paint thinner.

    What? And deprive us of the entertainment value of reading the "opinions" of the utterly clueless?
  23. ScottM
    Given this guy's driving record, it seems like he needs some help. I hope he gets it.
  24. ScottM
    If that's his stance, then his "ties" to UND aren't as strong as he thinks they are.

    Watch out for falling chads ...
