I'd really appreciate it, I need a fall back.

Today was a busy day and I should know more Monday.

Sorry

Sure will

I forget how fun Vegas can be

Penn State's Beaver Stadium is already one of the toughest away venues in college football. But this fall—thanks to some scientific chicanery—it's going to be nearly 50% louder, making it almost impossible for opposing QBs to be heard.

PSU's not achieving the increase by adding more seats or handing out more thundersticks. In fact, they're just going to relocate the 20,000 seats in the student section to the southern end zone. The real story is how they got there, starting with data crunching that goes back in the 07-08 season. That's when Penn State grad student Andrew Barnard used 11 sound meters to record crowd noise at three home games:

What he found: that when opposing teams had the ball, the noise level in the stadium hit 110 decibels—50 times the volume as when Penn State was on offense. Not surprising on its own, but the info enabled Barnard to find the spot where the raucous student section could be most effective:

When the stadium was empty, he searched for the best spots for an audible assault by carrying a noisy speaker around to 45 different seats and measuring how loud it sounded on the field... For seats on the sidelines, closer was better. Students sitting in the highest rows contributed very little to the overall sound. But the situation was reversed behind the end zone. Higher seats could be heard better than field-level seats because of a trick of the stadium's architecture, said Barnard.

The move is expected to cut the range of a quarterback's voice by an additional six inches, meaning more false starts, more penalties, and more opportunities for the Nittany Lions.

Vegas is awesome. My neighbors live there in the winter and love it!

That is my neck of the woods there.

Welcome to the IHop. Why do they call it the IHop? When I leave there, I don't really feel like hopping. Its more like, Iiii can barely move, or Iiiii need a wheelchair.

Asking $15k.

I think he wants it. He has to figure out how to ship it and where he wants to do a pre-purchase inspection, but otherwise I bet he says yes :) At least I have a good feeling for him and I know he does of me. I hope so as the instant it is gone I'll get on getting rid of the truck and shopping for a replacement :)

Ship? Fuck that. Drive it!

x2. It's always fun to drive a newly bought car across the continent :D

I had trouble finding the gear shifter when first driving the jeep

road trips are the best :)

or he could fly me out there and I'll drive it east for him ;)

Two years back, consumer research told us the vast majority of DVR users skipped commercials; now, statisticians at Duke University say that's not the case. More importantly, even those who do hit that oh-so-tempting skip button aren't necessarily spending less on advertised products as a result. Pulling data from over 1,200 TiVo boxes over the course of three years, Professor Carl Mela and colleagues found that a staggering 95 percent of television was watched live instead of recorded, giving viewers no opportunity to skip, and even when there was an opportunity, users took it only 6.5 percent of the time.

Moreover, every attempt the researchers made to find a "TiVo effect" failed -- comparing those who had DVRs with those who didn't, they found no significant difference in the amount TV watchers spent on nine different goods (including cleaning and grooming products) advertised.

Yup it's pretty much official now, I have a 15% chance of keeping my job in 4-6 months.
