I'm not a fan of the first round pick because he's an LSU recruit. I'm hoping he decides the ladies in college are better than on the minor league bus tour for a few years.
Is that because LSU is a bad school, has bad recruiting or because Deshields Jr is not a good player to begin with?
Seems to have a good chance at being a good ball player.
Astros win on Lee 10th Inning Slam
Also update on draft signings

Colorado.. Yes
Baylor.. No way in hell
You were correct
Colorado accepts invitation to join Pac-10
I believe A&M will join SEC, also I can't say that I feel sorry for the schools(KU, KSU, ISU, Baylor, and Missouri) left out as the SWC was disbanded.
It would be nice if it could work out one of these ways with a new SWC or UH joining the Big 12.

So what will happen to the smaller conferences like CUSA if or when there are 4 Super conferences?
Also I wonder if Baylor or Colorado will get in Pac-10?

(Also, T 2 THA C, "their" is not the same as "there".)
Dang thanks captain obvious. Did not realize my post was being graded. If I correct it, could I at least get some rep points! lol

What "reforms" do you suggest?
If they're convicted, send them out of state, but I do agree that if they are still tied up in courts that they should have access to local counsel.
Expansion of house Arrest and pretrial services for non violent minor offenses. I read in the chron a while back how some inmates are in Harris County awaiting trial longer then the actual max sentence is for the crime commited

These two projects are not mutually exclusive. HCTRA will develop any planned toll road that is toll-viable. If both roads are toll-viable, then they both get built. It has nothing to do with prioritizing certain non-financial factors over others; that's just the HCTRA following the legislatively-authorized rules that it is bound to.
They couldn't mention that in the article, of course, because it would mean that there's not a controversy.
For the record: there's not a controversy.
Fact, TxDOT has repeatedly told the public that the Hempstead Managed Lanes will be constructed before US-290 construction begins, to give people travel options and minimize disruption during construction.
Fact, Harris County has not committed to the managed lanes and Txdot has not clearly stated a plan B if the managed lanes are not built. The 290 project team has stated they have some ideas for temporary HOV lanes but not much will happen if anything.
IMO there's no project more toll-viable(Maybe the South Sam Houston widening)
In the interview, the woman said something about HCTRA reallocating funds away from Hempstead for some reason.
Robin Holzer"... Last year in June of 2009 Harris county cut there allocation for Hempstead in half to just a little over a billion dollars and they redirected most of that money toward construction of the proposed Grand Pkwy..."
"The current proposal for US-290 is predicated on concurrent plans for the Hempstead lanes. In its 2008 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Harris County allocated $2.05 billion to the proposed Hempstead Managed Lanes over five years. However, in its 2009 CIP, Harris County cut the Hempstead allocation in half, to just $1.08 billion, despite only a 12% decrease in HCTRA’s overall budget from $5.2 billion to $4.6 billion
."
Note: It dose state "As of this writing, the public cannot know what Harris County’s Hempstead Lanes commitment will be in its 2010 CIP, scheduled for public hearing on June 22, 2010. It is unclear whether the County will restore its commitment to build the Hempstead project timely.
So maybe no controversy, after all, if the funding is allocated back to Hempstead come June 22, 2010. If not then sounds like a problem if the FEIS is based on Hempstead managed lanes being built 1st

Harris County looks for cheaper jail cells
IMO it makes it real hard on the families who must drive out of state or to Newton, Tx to see there loved ones, when they were arrested in Harris County and not yet sentenced.

Or because he was a 'roided up douche? The Astros should have shopped Berkman last year. He's past his prime now and they need young talent in a bad way.
I would love to see Berkman stay in an Astros uniform ala Biggio and Bagwell,but I believe Berkman and Oswalt deserve to go somewhere they can contend while the Stros rebuild.
Who knows, maybe he really wasn't nice. He always seemed like a nice guy on camera.
Don't know if he was on roids or not, but would not be surprised if he was.
Bagwell and the question of steroids
I'd say have to agree with Justice. Is it possible he did yes(Steroids Era in Baseball) But compared to players like Clemens and Bonds Jeff seemed small to me especially standing next to Clemens.
Also what y'all think about the Astros draft picks? I like them considering the top 3 expect to sign.
A closer look at the Astros' picks
Top picks hope to sign with 'Stros

Hempstead Toll Road Might not be built 1st by Harris County
Im in favor of building Grand parkway but not if it is going to jeopardize Hempstead toll road getting built within the near future.
Who would you contact in Harris county to let them know this is ridiculous!
-
One of the main excuses for this thing is to improve traffic commutes on 290 -- even though there are far more cost effective (though not necessarily cheaper) way of doing just that. The worst thing about the Grand Parkway is that it will be taking away county resources from directly tackling the real, existing transportation problems we face. Planning for future growth is all well and fine, but you have to take care of the existing problems first. It's like stock investing -- you never start until you pay down your credit card debt. There are SO many other things that Judge Emmett and the gang should be worrying about before they try to tackle issues related to future growth.
The project has been shown on governmental planning documents since the early 1960's. Someone recently suggested using segment-E as a relief of 290, probably not a good suggestion, but Grand Pkwy has been planned for a while. Every time I go to Dallas I think im glad they are planning now instead of waiting untill devolopment dictates where infrastructure goes.

First time dancing since 1992 vs Tom Penders and the Longhorns

I like the scoring and all but the game last night shows how much we need Battier, Ariza and Lowry. Also, I think it is good for young guys to get some minutes.

I went on a road trip for Christmas to Conneticut, and I can say I stoped and went through many places and nothing was close to Houstons skyline. I even went to NYC and it did not seem really tall except for Manhantan, even it really did not seem overly taller than Houston.

There is a short stub at the south end of the red line going west, out Holmes Rd, for about a mile or so. Does anyone know why this section was built? It stops before reaching South Main.
I believe its part of the rail yard, shop facility. I think its used to repair/ test the trains before there put on the actual line.

This area by the Stadiums have come along way since 2008. I remember thinking when they would finish Disco Green. Now 1 Park Place finished, Disco Green finished, Disco Tower almost finished, and the Embassy Suites on its way. Lost at least two parking lots and still have no trouble finding parking @ Rockets games conventions etc!!
-
The only thing I dnt like about this building is that the sky bridge will chnage the view of skyline from Preston and Smith.

TC, why is there an apostrophe in your signature?

METRO doesn't call the new ones by color. interesting that former city controller (and current mayor AKA annise parker) has now hired former city controller george grenias to follow METRO dealings.
also the overpass over the current harrisburg underpass has been eliminated according to METRO spokespersons on east side in order to save 5 million. i guess the underpass that was too narrow is suddenly wide enough.
Interesting, how new voices changes things!!!

Im glad to see progress on light rail, anxious to see what will happen on the SE line?

I agree, but the one thing I really like about new stadium design that cost the extra 13 million is how they left an opening to see the Downtown skyline. Any renovation of Robertson would have blocked this view.
