| Football: Agent disputes severity of Ikegwuonu's knee injury
Uribe also performed the surgery on another Rosenhaus client, running back Willis McGahee, a former Hurricanes standout who suffered a serious knee injury in his final college game in January 2003. Rosenhaus predicted McGahee still would be a first-round pick in the next draft and that's what happened. The Buffalo Bills took McGahee with the 23rd pick overall."I'm still projecting, because of (Ikegwuonu's) age (22) and the way guys come back from these injuries ... the type of people we have working with him are the exact same people that worked with Willis McGahee, a first-round pick and first player drafted at his position," Rosenhaus said. "I'm not going to project that for Jack but I will tell you, I still think he's going to be drafted in the early rounds." Ikegwuonu was working out at Perfect Competition, a training facility in Davie, Fla., for the NFL draft, which will be April 26-27.
Official Version of Naval Incident Starts to Unravel
Israelis and their allies in the US administration do not tolerate obstacles - including patriotic US Naval officials who expose their hoaxes. There are a few clear heads remaining in the upper eschelons of the US Armed Forces which have managed to escape the earlier purges of the Rumsfeld-OSP-Wolfowitz-Feith cabal. Admiral Fallon and other like-minded American officers should have their drivers check their cars before starting the engines - the mafia that took us to war in Iraq and is pushing for war with Iran can get very rough. It is disgusting to have this played out again and again and again. They will never be satisfied until they have destroyed all independent nations in the Middle East using American manpower and treasure - and destroying the US economy and Bill of Rights in the process.
Skepticism of Faculty and Tenure
It is not to get people to work harder or be more productive. Further, anyone who has worked for 6-7 years has the presumption of continued employment and can assume they will not be fired without cause. Zogby does not inform people of the real protections offered by tenure but presents it as something it is not intended to be, both in the definition they give and in the wording of the question. Once they have tenure, most people work hard because they wish to be promoted to Full Professor. Once they attain that rank, they probably work as hard as anyone does in a long-time job with no prospect for further promotion. Tenure isn’t to motivate productivity. It is to protect academic researchers from controversy. I think the source of the idea that professors do not work hard is the media, not David Horowitz.
