    Tuesday Storm Thread

    Depends on how far North in the metro you are... According to the 3 pm scan of WSR-88D, it looks like the southern edge might track pretty close to the far Northern edge of Ankeny. If it develops at all South, the DM metro will be under the gun. Southern development is definitely possible...

    Chops Owners Want to Sell/Move Franchise

    Note to the DM Register, the CHL is NOT the level below the AHL. I'm not sure what to call the CHL. It is a league of either old guys that dont want to give up hockey or club hockey guys that tried out and got a spot on the team. I can't imagine this is a product that would sell in DM. Are...

    Snow in ND in June!?!?!?!?

    There aren't any consistent signs that this pattern is going to change in the next week. After a week, most models are just a guess, but the EURO is hinting at one.... I looked at the 8-10 Euro (ECMWF) model which has been the best long range model lately and it keeps wildly flipping back and...

    Snow in ND in June!?!?!?!?

    It is an abnormal weather pattern issue caused by the Jet Stream being pushed way to far South for June. Normally the Jet stream would be in Southern Canada not over the Iowa/Misery border. #1 We have big High Parked over Greenland that wont move. This is the 'block'. SInce weather is...

    What if someone spends 25% or less of their life sleeping ? Should they still splurge on an expensive mattress ?

    June 1, 2009: The Return of Marty Tirrell and Conan O'Brien

    I'm going to continue my speculation, but my guess is that Clear Channel is paying Marty to the end of his contract or they paid his contract out on the grounds that he can't 'compete' until it is up. Kind of how employers will give you a severence package if you agree to not 'sue' them. Any...

    June 1, 2009: The Return of Marty Tirrell and Conan O'Brien

    I think 'Cotman' can do his Sportscenter in Iowa bits and Marty can do his mouth of the midwest bits on 1700 is because they aren't a 'show'. Even though Marty is trying again as a 'syndicated' show, I think the 'show' concept is what gets him in trouble with his former employer...

    June 1, 2009: The Return of Marty Tirrell and Conan O'Brien

    I think it is a 'Non compete clause' that stopped the F-bomber's show on 1700. Never fear though, the F-bombers been buddying up to uberconnected lawyer Jerry Crawford's for years so I fully expect a challenge of that clause. You think that constant on air shilling for the Iowa Energy was a...

    Round Guy and Garman

    Will the media conglomerates that run DM radio PLEASE learn a lesson! Quit recycling talent! Marty had multiple discretions in his past and they got no better at his KXNO employment. F-Bombfest wasn't the only thing he did. Remember the hole golf trip (U.S. Open ?) /credential fiasco that...

    Principal A Class Act

    You do realize that many people have been fired to make a departmental budget and not because they aren't doing (meaningfull) work ?

    Since I'm not a subscriber, I cant read much of this article but they have a target stock price of $20 a share ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the stock been as high as $24 a share in the past 2 weeks ?

    Remember Jackson Vroman ?

    Jackson Vroman is playing 'pro' basketball overseas. Only Google would find me a story about the FIBA Asia Champions Cup. Vroman scored 32 points. Here is the link to the article: Jakarta Globe

    What does it tell the market when your stock is around $24.00 (it was at open on Monday) and you decide on issuing more stock @ 19.75 a share ?

    Alumni Association survey

    I want to jump on this positivism approach. The Alumni Association's use of telemarketing isn't as bad as some of the others out there. Especially since they stopped calling after about 20 hangups. For example, those 'people' that call me about my car warranty expiring 3 times a night are...
