Worth a try Glenn at RT , see if it works.

Desperate Puerto Ricans are drinking water from a hazardous-waste site Jose Luis Rodriguez waited in line Friday to fill plastic jugs in the back of his pickup truck with water for drinking, doing the dishes and bathing. But there is something about this water Rodriguez didn't know: It was being pumped to him by water authorities from a federally designated hazardous-waste site, CNN learned after reviewing Superfund documents and interviewing federal and local officials. Rodriguez, 66, is so desperate for water that this news didn't startle him. "I don't have a choice," he said. "This is the only option I have." More than three weeks after Hurricane Maria ravaged this island, more than 35% of the island's residents -- American citizens -- remain without safe drinking water. It's unclear whether there are public health risks from this particular well, however. The EPA said it plans to do testing in the area over the weekend. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/13/us/puerto-rico-superfund-water/index.html

Daikiel Shorts Relishing Role As WVU's Mr. Reliable It earned Shorts his "Mr. Reliable" moniker, and the wideout embraced the compliment, then kept battling week in and out to better himself as a player, a teammate a leader. The flashes of brilliance once displayed only fleetingly became increasingly more frequent over the last two seasons, when the senior has made a series of difficult, acrobatic catches, either over defenders, along the sidelines or in heavy traffic across the middle. Shorts has taken wicked post-reception hits as well, but rarely does the ball pop loose. "Daikiel has really developed his body and his mentality, he’s the toughest kid I’ve ever coached, and I mean it. He blocks his tail off, he’s unselfish and he cares and it means a lot. https://247sports.com/college/west-virginia/Article/Shorts-Relishing-Role-As-WVUs-Mr-Reliable-74939526 6'1 was very surprised he is not on PS

If the OL , Taylor and McCoy speak up after this season if this scheme is not working for them that would at least get Castillo fired.

We are fortunate to have someone who understands this here , thank you.

not sure how accurate this is AP December 15, 2016, 8:38 AM The study estimates that the cost of premium subsidies under the ACA will increase by $9.8 billion next year, rising from $32.8 billion currently to $42.6 billion. The average monthly subsidy will increase by $76, or 26 percent, from $291 currently to $367 in 2017. Currently more than eight in 10 consumers buying private health insurance through HealthCare.gov and state markets receive tax credits from the government to help pay their premiums. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obamacare-subsidies-to-jump-10-billion-in-2017/ On the news they are reporting the subsidy is $7B being cut ?

Any game on in my area plus Talladega 500 at 2pm

Trump to halt ObamaCare subsidies, legal fight likely President Donald Trump plans to halt payments to insurers under the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health care law also known as ObamaCare. It’s the latest effort in the president’s bid to ultimately “repeal and replace” what’s considered the signature legislation of his White House predecessor. Word of Trump’s latest plan came from two people familiar with the decision, who spoke to the Associated Press. They requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The White House said in a statement that the Department of Health and Human Services has determined there is no appropriation for cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers under the Obamacare law. Trump's decision was expected to rattle already-unsteady insurance marketplaces. The president has previously threatened to end the payments, which help reduce health insurance copays and deductibles for people with modest incomes, but remain under a legal cloud. Trump has privately told at least one lawmaker that the payments may continue if a bipartisan deal is reached on heath care, The Wall Street Journal reported. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/13/trump-to-halt-obamacare-subsidies-legal-fight-likely.html I do not think that would be legal, to stop payments

Watching the press conference with chief of staff Gen Kelly was encouraging . Very serious but has a good sense of humor.

McD and Beane are betting their careers on Castillo and Dennison till now unless the goal is to tank jmo

Fearing Trump torpedo, Europe scrambles to save Iran deal BERLIN/PARIS (Reuters) - European countries are scrambling to cobble together a package of measures they hope will keep the Iran nuclear deal on track if U.S. President Donald Trump ignores their pleas and decertifies the landmark 2015 agreement this week. The package would include a strong statement backing the deal by European powers, together with efforts to lobby the U.S. Congress and put wider pressure on Iran, officials said. But without strong U.S. support for the deal, senior officials in Berlin, Paris and London say it may be only a matter of time before the pact between Tehran and six world powers unravels, with grave consequences for Middle East security, nonproliferation efforts and transatlantic ties. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/10/11/fearing-trump-torpedo-europe-scrambles-to-save-iran-deal/23240125/

A living wage job that they are capable of , is cheaper then prison and crime During the great depression govt jobs were created for needed projects like infrastructure. My father and uncles were employed by the WPA program then enlisted for WWII

illegal guns are a major problem. I have no problem with responsible gun ownership . If the poor and not gifted for education had access to decent jobs, things would be different imo

O'Leary was 5 for 54 yds against Bengals. He is Taylor's new go to guy with C. Clay out.

If Shady can't run in this offense hard to believe someone else could . If the defense puts 8 or 9 in the box = no run game. Taylor and this OL are poorly suited for this scheme jmo Z. Jones needs to get it together and be a deep threat for the running game to open up. Losing C. Clay and Matthews makes matters worse for a run game.

An Iranian armed forces spokesperson warned it may be time to "teach Americans new lessons" if the Trump administration labeled Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Masoud Jazayeri, an IRGC commander and spokesperson, issued the threat, Reuters reported. “It seems the Trump administration understands only swear words, and needs some shocks to understand the new meaning of power in the world,” Jazayeri said, according to ISNA. “The Americans have driven the world crazy by their behavior. It is time to teach them a new lesson.” http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/10/10/iranian-armed-forces-spokesperson-its-time-to-teach-americans-new-lessons.html Seems like they are daring Trump to label IRGC a terrorist organization

NFL Owners Considering Rule Change Requiring Players to Stand for National Anthem The owners will discuss the possibility of changing the rule in a meeting next week. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/10/national-anthem-nfl-owners-rule-change-players-stand-update

I always thought the National Anthem should be America the Beautiful Who could protest during a song like that ? https://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/americathebeautiful.html

Trump challenges Tillerson to battle of IQ tests over reported 'moron' jab The president made the comments in an interview with Forbes, for a story published Tuesday. "I think it's fake news, but if he did that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win," Trump said. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/10/trump-challenges-tillerson-to-battle-iq-tests-over-reported-moron-jab.html

Not possible , the dead cap hit for both is way too high. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/marcell-dareus-7718/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cordy-glenn-9851/

Trump: NFL should not be getting tax breaks when players kneel during anthem "Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!" Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-nfl-should-not-be-getting-tax-breaks-when-players-kneel-during-anthem/article/2637003

I would not put any rookie QB behind this OL and receiver corp, it would ruin him .

Out of curiosity I googled that line The language is definitely archaic and seems a little confusing unless you know the context. “Essentially,” says writer and academic Jason Johnson, “Francis Scott Key was happy to see former slaves, who had joined the British as part of their Colonial Marines, getting slaughtered and killed as they attempted to take Baltimore.” About 6,000 African Americans fled to the British during the War of 1812, on the promise of freedom. Most of the men were recruited into the Royal Navy or into the Colonial Marines, a mostly black unit, which fought with distinction. https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-08-30/historians-disagree-whether-star-spangled-banner-racist I didn't know Flash was so religious , hope his career stays healthy .

Zay Jones off to a poor start , Matthews out is loading the box against Shady . Castillo and his complex OL scheme is not catching on yet , especially against a loaded box. Miller was good at RG last season , but not with this new system. I would not trade any of the 6 high picks . Taylor is better at scrambling and run option Just let this season play out and get better draft position. jmo
