  1. So much parity in college basketball right now I just don't know who to pick. Feel like I need to pull for an SEC team (Kentucky) but I really like WVs play right now. I have no faith in Kansas for some reason??

    Anyway I'm hoping for some good week 1 upsets so that everybody's brackets get screwed up quick.[6] I'm playing the ESPN Tournament Challenge. I was in the top 50K for a little while last year. That thing is so tuff to win. Great time of year for some really good BB.

  2. Heck, people old and young have yardsales with underpriced stuff all the time. I won't even buy it unless I think it's a good deal (IE:underpriced) so what's the difference? Mark has a good point. The owner of that mountain of valuable treasure dies and the kids have a yardsale and the stuff goes even cheaper. I don't see how that's better.

    If those two guys weren't on a TV show they would already be out of business IMHO. No way they make enough to live on.

  3. The below info is from WebMD. ADHD is not a condition associated with how or where you are educated. [8-)]

    The exact cause of
    attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not
    known. But inherited genetic factors are likely responsible. Ongoing research
    is focused on identifying
    genes that cause a person to be susceptible to
    ADHD.


    Using various imaging tests, researchers have been able to
    observe the brain at work. They have found a possible link between ADHD
    and:


    • Brain structure.
    • The function of
      chemicals in the brain that help regulate attention and activity (dopamine and
      norepinephrine).
    • Differences in function of some of the areas of
      the brain that affect attention and impulse control.

    Also, research shows that a mother's use of cigarettes,
    alcohol, or other drugs during pregnancy may increase the risk for ADHD. Some
    studies suggest that exposure to lead may cause symptoms associated with
    ADHD.1


    Although many parents believe
    that foods with sugar and food additives make their children more hyperactive,
    these foods have not been shown to cause ADHD. In a comprehensive review of
    research, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that restricted
    diets seemed to help only about 5% of children with ADHD, mostly either young
    children or children with food allergies. Other research has shown that sugar
    is not related to ADHD.1


    A study by the
    National Institute of Mental Health found that certain parts of the brains of
    children with ADHD develop normally but about 3 years later than in children
    without ADHD.2 This may be why some children seem to
    grow out of the disorder.
