My daughter works as a project manager for a national printing company, and they got their largest ever single order yesterday. Half million dollar order for masks for the NYC Police Dept. [Hap sez: I'm confused: has the printing company retooled to make masks, or is the NYPD having something printed on the mask? @sherpa, clarify?]

Bruno Sammartino. Once he threw 600 pound Haystacks Calhoun out of the ring his legend was sealed.

As long as nobody calls him "Squeaky."

Garo Yepremian? Can't wait to see the fake extra point pass attempt.

You have used a single word in your post that leads me to conclude your claim of ex Navy is valid. The rest of your post........ The point is that if the Iranian Revolutionary Guard continues to behave in a hostile manner that effects navigation in international waters, a Skipper of a US combatant may well decide that such activity is a threat. He is responsible for his ship and crew, and as an ex sailor, presumably, you would want him to act appropriately.

This isn't that big of a deal. It's been going on for years. It's just a way to let them know you know about them. I've done scores of these intercepts of Soviet bombers and one potentially hostile Iranian one. The complaint is how the Russians are doing it. There is a protocol to approach from the rear, on the side, from 4 or 5 o'clock, or 7 or 8 o'clock, and make your presence known in a non threatening way. The Russians are intercepting intel gathering airplanes and doing things like flying inverted near them, or "thumping" them. Thumping is flying under them with a good deal of overtake speed, then pulling up through their projected flight path, resulting in them flying through your wake turbulence and jet wash. It's a really stupid thing to do. If they breach the protocols, they invite a weapon response. As an example, when the two Libyan Migs were shot down by US Navy F-14'a from Kennedy. If you listen to the audio, the US pilots repeatedly mention the Migs turning into them in a head on intercept. That is to display the clear hostile action, and justify the response. Splashed Migs Audio starts at 2 minute mark. This Iranian revolutionary Guard thing has been going on for years as well, but they are playing with their lives if they keep it up, as these are clearly aggressive and possibly threatening tactics.

That's one way. There is also a ring behind and above your head. You grab it with both hands and pull the face curtain over your head. Very important to have your spine completely vertical during the sequence, or you'll likely suffer back injury. The seat is disabled by a lever that is behind your head, at neck level. When enabled, it fits inside the seat. If it is disabled, that lever would be jamming the back of your neck, so it's always enabled in flight.

Nope. Can't be disabled, and it isn't a "button." Since French, probably said "surrender," which caused him to select it. Just kidding.

In a head scratchier, Browns select Kim Jung Un. Oops. Hit google News instead of NFL Office.

So legal lease terms should be abrogated? Wow. Opens up all kinds of possibilities.

Incredibly non technical and non Palmeresque, but how 'bout somebody talk to him about not coming out of the locker room like a lunatic? He seems almost out of control until he gets a couple series, settles in, and then looks pretty good.

Best ever was Kramer. Barney Fife was up there.

Allen and Singletary need to cover up the ball with two hands when going down. Allen especially needs to acknowledge that the NFL knows he can be separated from the ball from behind, because he doesn't protect well enough.

Things are happening. The University of Virginia may have developed a barrier breaking test that is way quicker and cheaper. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A research team at the University of Virginia says it might have found a new way to detect COVID-19. Dr. Ben Orsburn’s team is using a device nearly every lab in the world has on hand, and could potentially diagnose patients within hours of them becoming infected. “The reason that we decided to make our data public, or to make our message public, was when it occurred to us that basically, every hospital in the world these days and every university has a mass spectrometer of some kind,” Orsburn said. Dr. Orsburn is at the forefront of a new method that may detect coronavirus far faster than traditional DNA testing. The theory is that certain proteins in the virus might appear before a patient even realizes they have been infected. Orsburn says this idea was first proposed during the SARS 2003 outbreak, though the field wasn’t developed enough at the time to test effectively. “The understanding is that these viruses are similar and that an early detection method could detect the nucleocapsid protein in SARS would be at least there is a nucleocapsid protein in this virus as well.” Orsburn’s theory found a home in labs in China and Germany. “Probably within 36 hours or so, we actually saw real proteomics, real protein mass spectrometry data being released by a German group that and their data very strongly mimics our model,” the doctor said. “You see this nucleocapsid protein just go up in abundance really early infection.” COVID-19 proteins appear in infected samples within hours, and can be detected days before a patient would even begin showing symptoms. Work is underway to make this detection method widely available. The team is already working with a company in New York to potentially make rapid sample preparation methods more easily accessible nation wide. Other labs are building similar detection methods based on the theory." https://www.nbc29.com/2020/03/17/uva-researchers-may-have-found-faster-way-detect-covid-/

No. I had it for about three years, and it was our go to ball for games, but I left it overnight at our park after changing from and afternoon of football to basketball, and somebody swiped it. Great ball. A little fatter than the ones we usually used. Funny thing about that. I never went down to the end zone for extra points, but that Sat night game, I noticed a much smaller end zone crowd, so I went down and got it after a Pats TD. On the way out, I was holding it, and a cop told me that I'd never make it to my father's car alive with that thing, so I stuffed it under my shirt and made it.

I got one on an extra point. Went up and caught it, and when I came down I ended up on the concrete and people were kicking me in the side, but only a few times, then I got up. A beautiful Wilson J5V. It was during a game that is a bit notable for Bills trivia people. A Sat night game in Oct, 1969 against the Patriots. Simpson was out because of an injury the week before. Max Anderson had his face mask knocked off and a few teeth knocked out during the game, so the Bills were playing back up running back H. Preston Ridelhuber. On a third and short, Rauch called this little option pass that was supposed to be thrown to the tight end for a short gain and first down. Ridelhuber saw the TE was covered, but he saw Haven Moses wide open, and being an ex high school QB, hit him for a 45 yard touchdown, and a Bills win. What I remember of Dennis Shaw was that he used to throw these ducks and Marlin Briscoe would out jump the DB's and catch them, occasionally. Just as frequently they were picked. Shaw lost his job to Joe Ferguson.

Choose well. There is not one single piece of equipment that I have ever owned is more frustrating when it doesn't work, or more productive when it does.

Seems like a shortsighted viewpoint. It shouldn't be "baffling." Health care facilities have no additional capacity to handle this, so it is possible that very difficult decisions will need to be made. This isn't a question of "most people coming through it just fine."

I don't think there's any reasonable chance the NCAA basketball tournament gets played on schedule.

Anybody remember a place called "Jim's" on the lake shore? Place used the same hotdogs as Ted's, and served huge Sealtest ice cream cones. We used to drive out there whenever we could. Place was fantastic.

Yes it does, and the ignorance of them. Maybe unrelated, but the "forgetting it's in my carry on" scenario happens quite often, as has been pointed out.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. It seems as though he had it at the ticket counter, and was not trying to get through a security screen or take it aboard. The problem is that it is not legal in NYC. Regarding having guns on airplanes, you can check them, and they go in the baggage compartment. You cannot carry one in the cabin, unless you are in one of the groups of people who are authorized to do so, and there are a few. If you are in such a situation, the gate agent is advised and tells the captain, so the crew knows what seat has one, and if there are ore than one, they are informed of each other. Since people in the cabin with guns would be be authorized to have them, the divert to LGA scenario above makes no sense.

"Working at his craft." Projectile vomit phrase.

I've always like John Kasich, ex Ohio gov.

They absolutely understand the customer base. They monitor it hundreds of thousands of times per day.
