  1. China has advanced a long way For the first time, scientists have successfully teleported a photon from the ground to a satellite in orbit. It’s been 20 years since quantum scientists successfully teleported a photon over 10 miles, proving that quantum entanglement — a process that Albert Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” -- was possible. Quantum teleportation is seen as the basis for unimaginably high-speed communication and foolproof cryptography. Since the two objects are not twins but actually the same object, what happens to one happens instantaneously to the other. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/07/11/space-breakthrough-scientists-teleport-photon-from-earth-to-orbit.html
  2. I like this mock better, @ 7 Bills take Josh Rosen and he has KC pick @13 13. Buffalo Bills: Kevin Toliver II, CB, LSU The 6-foot-2, 193-pounder is a big corner who can run. http://walterfootball.com/draft2018charlie.php
  3. Washington "reached for and displayed a gun while sitting inside his vehicle; just feet away from officers. [Washington] did not inform officers beforehand." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000819117/article/bills-dt-adolphus-washington-arrested-on-weapons-charge that move makes no sense at all , thank goodness the way police handled this
  4. Yikes , really , and I'm a conservative Catholic . I have no idea what age they are sure they are gay. I accept them for who they are when they know for sure. I don't know why medical science still does not have a reason for this. Once lived next door to 2 gay women , the kindest , nicest people I ever met
  5. Charter School funding in WNY Statewide, charter schools receive roughly 25% less funding per student than their traditional district school counterparts. This disparity is more severe in Western New York than anywhere else in the State. In Buffalo for example, charter schools receive roughly 40% less than their traditional district school counterparts. From that already limited funding source, most charter schools, and all Western New York charter schools, have to pay facilities costs, such as rent and utilities. Charter school students statewide receive $5,232 less than students in traditional district schools. This disparity is much worse in Western New York. In Buffalo for example, charter school students receive $9,811 less than their friends and neighbors in district schools. http://www.necharters.org/ny_funding_disparity_explained
  6. Private school teachers make way less than public school teachers. Average salaries are nearly $50,000 for public, and barely $36,000 for private. That’s not just a gap. It’s a chasm. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/10/why-are-private-school-teachers-paid-less-than-public-school-teachers/280829/ Can you even imagine school taxes if private schools closed ? Catholic school teachers in my area make way less then $36k
  7. The time Michael Jordan wore No. 12 Jordan’s No. 23 jersey is believed to have been stolen on the day of the game. The Bulls did not bring a backup No. 23 jersey with them, but the team did have a just-in-case No. 12 kit bearing no name on the back. https://www.si.com/nba/2015/02/18/michael-jordan-bulls-jersey-number-12
  8. Bush won all Florida electoral votes in 2000 , winning there popular vote by 537. Nader had 97,488 votes in Florida. He had a major effect .
  9. 6 promises Trump has made about health care No one will lose coverage. There will be insurance for everybody. Healthcare will be a “lot less expensive” for everyone — the government, consumers, providers. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-obamacare-promises-236021
  10. If Sammy is re-signed it will take cap space in future seasons.
  11. Oh I know about HUD and the mortgage debacle. That should have been checked when Clinton left office. I'm still a Kasich supporter , just guessing on the next D running in 2020. I want the next president to be able to work in a bipartisan manner to get something done with Congress.
  12. In September 2015 joint letter to Obama, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo offered to pay half of the project’s cost if the federal government picks up the rest, but did not identify how they would fund it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_Program_(Northeast_Corridor)
  13. They will go with the great orator Andrew Cuomo in 2020 , jobs and healthcare imo
  14. He had 1 good year out of 8 seasons. He is ok if the price is reasonable. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4894/gary-barnidge
  15. New coaches, new playbooks, player turn over. I would be happy with a well disciplined team and the right players on the field each play. Cut down on penalties . One more draft and free agency to fit this coaching system. Making the playoffs is not yet practical. Getting rid of the Rex circus was a great improvement.
  16. Georgia Military College DL Tavares Bingham and Western New Mexico RB Marques Rodgers are eligible for the July 12 NFL Supplemental Draft, a league spokesman confirmed to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000818313/article/two-players-eligible-for-2017-nfl-supplemental-draft https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/7/6/15930884/nfl-supplemental-draft-sees-two-eligible-players-for-buffalo-bills-tavares-bingham-marques-rodgers Neither player is expected to garner a draft pick in the upcoming event.
  17. NYS has paper ballots that are scanned . The paper goes into voting machine as the proof.
  18. The NY enhanced driver license or ID is proof of citizenship. I would be ok with showing that to vote. I need it to cross over to Canada.
  19. The more QBs declare the better chance the Bills can trade up but not for #1. That would cost too much.
  20. I would prefer that then a major war
  21. Trump was right about unfair trade agreements and sending millions of manufacturing jobs to low wage countries. The many thousands of closed factories here that use to support entire communities and yes offer health coverage. Politicians since Clinton and NAFTA sold this country out driving up the national debt. All the P/T min wage jobs that don't pay taxes won't reduce that debt Tax cuts to companies who bring back or create new jobs , sure.
  22. I won't argue ,I agree with you both. I just want to see the North give up there nuclear and missile programs then sanctions can be lifted. They are sitting on $6-$10 T worth of mineral resources. There only chance is a coup at this point though. https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2017/06/29/north-korea-is-sitting-on-a-stockpile-of-minerals-worth-trillion/23008501/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000058&
  23. Do you mean the South keeping the North nuclear program if there is re-unification? China would not allow that imo
  24. If Trump can deliver on his campaign promises , God bless him , I will be all in , honest.
