A federal appeals court in Colorado ruled Tuesday that a local police department does not have to compensate a homeowner whose house was destroyed by 19 hours of gunfire between officers and an armed shoplifting suspect who had chosen to barricade himself inside to evade arrest. Lech’s home, valued $580,000, was marked for demolition in 2015 after a SWAT team used armored vehicles to breach the structure, deployed tear gas and explosives and shot 40 mm rounds in an effort to drive the suspect out after he refused to surrender and shot at officers, the Post reported. The suspect broke into the house when no one was home to use it as a hideout. Lech's attorney told the Post that his home insurance company paid him $345,000 for the damage but that amount did not come close to covering additional costs related to personal property damage, demolishing and rebuilding the home and taking out a new mortgage on the new house. “It’s a miracle insurance covered any of it in the first place,” attorney Rachel Maxam told the Post. “Insurance is for fires, floods. There’s no ‘police blew up my house’ insurance.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-federal-court-rules-police-dept-owes-homeowner-nothing-after-swat-destroys-his-house

A.J. Green to Bengals: 'Long-term deal or let me go'
ALF replied to Warcodered's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sure a long term contract but not guaranteed due to injury history. -
With there season lost it's a smart move to see if Ryan Finley has potential or team will move up in the draft. Dalton will likely start next season as a bridge QB could even be Bengals .

Jamal Adams denies he ever requested a trade, says Jets GM 'went behind his back' "At the end of the week last week, I sat down with the GM and Coach Gase and told them I want to be here in New York," tweeted Adams. "I was told yesterday by my agent that the GM then went behind my back and shopped me around to teams, even after I asked him to keep me here! Crazy business." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jamal-adams-denies-he-ever-requested-a-trade-says-jets-gm-went-behind-his-back/ Was Leonard Williams trade proof that Jets’ Joe Douglas has started brand-new rebuilding process? https://www.nj.com/jets/2019/10/was-leonard-williams-trade-proof-that-jets-joe-douglas-has-started-brand-new-rebuilding-process-or-does-nfl-trade-deadline-restraint-show-otherwise.html That is why I want to stay with McD and Beane long term. Rebuilding with new GM and HC sets a team back too far . The exception was getting rid of Rex , he was a big mistake to bring here.

Did the Bills ever take a survey of season ticket holders of the type of new stadium they want ? How much more in ticket prices they would be willing to pay for a indoor stadium ?

Jordan Howard says Eagles wore down Bills, 'they didn't really want to tackle us "We were able to wear the defense down," Howard said, via Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Can said the SDF had been working since May 15 with the CIA to track al-Baghdadi, and managed to confirm he moved from Deir Az Zor in eastern Syria to Idlib province, where he was killed on Saturday. "All intelligence and access to al-Baghdadi as well as the identification of his place were the result of our own work. Our intelligence source was involved in sending coordinates, directing the airdrop, participating in and making the operation a success until the last minute," Can said. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/sdf-al-baghdadi-underwear-stolen-dna-tested-raid-191029070259141.html

Trump ordered Mattis to 'screw Amazon' on Pentagon contract, according to new book A new biography of former Defense Secretary James Mattis reports President Donald Trump personally got involved in who would win a major $10 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to the Pentagon, according to the website Task & Purpose, which writes about military issues. That hotly contested contract was awarded to Microsoft on Friday evening over Amazon in a months-long battle. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/26/politics/amazon-donald-trump-jim-mattis-pentagon-contract/index.html

I'm more concerned with the OL to run and pass protect to find out if Allen is a keeper.

It's up to Beane and the scouting staff to upgrade the roster.

NASA scientist creates engine concept that can reach 'close to the speed of light' A NASA scientist has created a new concept for an engine that he says can move "close to the speed of light" – all without any moving parts or need for fuel. The paper, written by David Burns from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, discusses a "helical engine" that can be used to travel across interstellar distances, send astronauts to the moon in approximately one second and Mars in less than 13 minutes, according to The Sun, which first reported the news. "A new concept for in-space propulsion is proposed in which propellant is not ejected from the engine, but instead is captured to create a nearly infinite specific impulse," Burns wrote in the paper's abstract. "The engine accelerates ions confined in a loop to moderate relativistic speeds, and then varies their velocity to make slight changes to their mass. The engine then moves ions back and forth along the direction of travel to produce thrust. This in-space engine could be used for long-term satellite station-keeping without refueling." The concept, which Burns admitted he is not sure is viable, takes inspiration from high-tech particle accelerators, similar to what is seen at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. https://www.foxnews.com/science/nasa-creates-engine-concept-speed-of-light

A possible solution for tanking? Reinvent the draft.
ALF replied to Samwell Tarly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A fire sale to tank for a QB is a big risk . Takes too long to build a OL to give a QB a chance to develop . Rosen hasn't had a chance so far. -
Pence says NBA akin to 'wholly owned subsidiary' of Beijing Vice President Mike Pence accused the National Basketball Association of acting "like a wholly owned subsidiary of the authoritarian regime" in China on Thursday. Speaking in Washington, Pence accused the NBA and sportswear giant Nike of not sufficiently speaking out in favor of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. "Some of the NBA's biggest players and owners, who routinely exercise their freedom to criticize this country, lose their voices when it comes to the freedom and rights of other peoples," Pence said. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/24/politics/pence-nba-nike-china/index.html Wow , way to go Pence

Bi-Partisan Support For Impeachment
ALF replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Major League Baseball said Wednesday it has launched an investigation after a longtime umpire wrote on Twitter he would buy a semi-automatic rifle ahead of a feared second U.S. civil war if President Trump were to be impeached. Rob Drake, a 50-year-old fulltime MLB umpire, posted the remarks Tuesday before deleting them soon after. His account had been deactivated by Wednesday. He first began working for the league in 1999 before becoming a fulltime umpire in 2010. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/mlb-umpire-tweet-trump-impeachment-civil-war-rifle-gun-rob-drake -
