When my wife was nearing the age where you must pay on
her tax shelter annuity, she hadn't heard anything from the company
which handles her money. She went up to the man who handles
her account, and he told her he would switch the TSA money into some
other account. He failed to do so.

The man who does our taxes where did this advisor put the TSA funds.
He told us he didn't do anything. We are aware that there will be penalties
on all of those monies for all of for 2014 and five months of this year. The man
who does our taxes is in contact with the IRS about the penalties. Is there any
hope that the IRS will be merciful.

This has nothing to do with me except the president of the company contacted
us when my wife transferred all of her accounts to another company. I have
been friends with the president for over fifty years. My suggestion to him was for his
company to pay the penalties since his employee made the mistake. But there was nothing
in writing at the time my wife told her advisor to reinvest the TSA funds

basketball times early top 25 for next season:
#1 UNC
#2 UVA
#3 KY
#7 Villanova
#18 Butler
Others w/ votes: Xavier, GTown, Providence

unclear if Georgetown was excluded because the poll was taken pre-DSR-decision to return.

Hoop Scoop - Top 50 recruiting classes:
#14 Marquette
#22 GTown
#25 St. John's
#33 Providence
#39 Villanova

interestingly - Temple's class came in at #49 - supporting the argument some were making on this board several months back that the VU class was not much better than the TU class.

Binghamton

ESPN article pegs them as a potential F4 team.

Eric, there is number 3.

I can't wait to have Eric pull up all the negative posts on what will be the #1 college basketball league - top to bottom in America very soon. We will look back at our BET title this year very fondly like the programs at Cuse and GTown look at theirs. Take a look at this league...

Nova - clearly a top 10 program in America the past two seasons and for the forseeable future - Brunson, Spellman, Booth, Paschall, Hart, Jenkins, Bridges, Donte and the beat will go on...

GTown - will be a handful next year. DSR - and then young guys like Copeland, Govan, Peak, Derrickson, White... Get some guards and we'll have a huge challenge. Top 20 program for sure going forward. Too much talent not to be.

SJ - Mullin will get them going with that group of assitants. Will be a Top 20 program as well - at least.

Marquette - Wojo looked solid last year. Add Ellenson and Cheatum with other pieces like Carter and they look like they will be a Top 25 caliber outfit very soon.

PC - With Dunn, they will be Top 25 this year. Dunn, Lindsay, Bentil, Chukwu, Owens - all Top 100 pedigrees and Cooley can coach.

X - great young talent. Will be a Top 30 group going forward and dangerous always in March

Butler - have another year or two at least with existing talent - an NCAA tournament team/program

SHU - Freddie will be challenged by Slice and the guys in Queens - will be interesting. Current talent is NCAA worthy next year - Gibbs, Whitehead, Delgado - surrounded by Carrington, Rodriguez, etc.

Creighton - have a Top 50 big coming in according to Rivals - transfers - etc. Will be solid, but league around them looking too good...

DePaul - DOA with Leitao - need some team to be lousy

Next year I see the following NCAA teams:

Locks: Nova, GTown, PC, X, Butler

Threats: SHU, Marquette

Not Ready Yet: St. Johns

Not there: Creighton (still tough though) and DePaul (have some guys)

Top to Bottom - the best conference in America - and getting stronger at the top each year.

Going forward - 8 legit NCAA threats every year. This is a six bid league for the forseeable future - with only 10 teams.

UCONN - come on down!

It didn't make Eric's front page, but my granddaughter Katie has officially become the third generation and sixth member of my family to commit to Villanova! This is a great financial boost to me since I already have the Nova gear and bumper stickers. What a relief!

Can a black guy ever get arrested again by a white cop without a riot afterwards? Seems like everyday this shit is going on. What gives?

i think Giants go OT from Iowa and Eagles mortgage the farm for M2. Tom

were the first two players taken in the NFL draft, only one has had great success.........I think it has happened 5 or 6 times including last night..From the first time, with Jim Plunkett....who won a Super Bowl toward the end of his career but did not have a great career.......If the trend continues, who will be the likely bust? Winston or mariota??

Baltimore is only the latest city reacting initially to heavy handed police practices but ultimately the hollowing out of the middle class by the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs. Our African-American male citizens are the victims of trade policies which created over a 40-50% unemployment rate in most cities. 5,000,000 manufacturing jobs lost since NAFTA in 1993. The pending Trans Pacific Partnership treaty must be scrapped and a true private-public partnership to train and employ Americans requires a top priority. Corporations must step up and stop the outsourcing of jobs and give our fellow Americans a fighting chance to succeed. Educational improvements and criminal justice reform require more than the lip service of politicians. Maximum effort is required or we'll repeat the history of the 1960s. Shape up people.

Terry LArrier. Leaving VCU. Really liked him summers ago as a teammate of Booth at Nike Global games. Also thought he had a decent rookie year at VCU

In the next 10 games the Phillies are scheduled to see the following pitchers:

Gio
Fister
Scherzer
DeGrom
Harvey
Niese
Fister
Scherzer
Zimmerman
Strasburg

I started this thread for one reason only. To get BWs predictions on total runs scored.

I'm setting the O/U of runs scored at 24.5. Give me your over/under and the total runs you expect in these 10 games.

Sidenote: with 7 games vs Nats it's possible some unearned runs score because their SS is a butcher.

Im in my early 30s. Has to be either Guns n Roses or Rage Against the Machine.

Have the first Rage album on now. Increible'.

@jeffborzello
List for Villanova transfer Dylan Ennis: Purdue, Illinois, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia Tech, Baylor, Oregon, Duke.



I thought he would have a lot of high major interest. Don't see any A-10/MAAC type schools on that list.

Starters on a top five team with experience who can defend and shoot don't grow on trees. He was a big loss.

The more I read and hear about this draft, I find out there is a lot of chatter about him.
I also would not be surprised if four of Nova's grads end up in an NFL camp.

Posts not showing up.

Selmore, I'm in on Murray surpassing McCoy's rushing total from last season. Names the stakes.

Another transfer from The "B" to St John's

Elbert Maxwell a senior from Pittsburgh won the long jump this weekend. The very first Nova win in a field event at these great relays. WOW. Congrats Elbert. My daughter and her boyfriend both Nova seniors,are buddies with Elbert, commonly called E. He is very well liked by his teammates and class mates. So good things do happen to good people. Congrats E.

Anybody local have anything to share regarding spring practice?
