Micah Johnson back at AAA, expected call up in Sept
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) Then you better not look at the outfield, if you don't want to see clown defense. It's hard for me to take the Sox seriously if they say that Johnson's defense isn't up to their standards, when they sign Melky Cabrera to a $50 million deal and forego a draft choice.. Regardless, no reason not to play Johnson the last 5 weeks of the season. Alexei and Beckham shouldn't leave the bench. Sox gave up O to put Saladino and Sanchez out there. It didn't help the team. It helped some of Cooper's pitchers, but not the team. Not sure the Sox gave up O for Saladino.

Reporter and cameraman shot/killed during live broadcast
I don't think we'll see copycats of news crew murders, but I'm guessing cat is out of bag for Gopro during shooting sprees. If there's one thing people with guns love it's taking pictures and video of themselves using guns. Was only a matter of time.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:39 AM) They were/are pushing their citizens to buy up real estate in empty cities built for millions as great investments. It's crazy. Does the outside real estate investment in US from China actually help US in any way? It seems to be a hinderance considering rent/house prices in th emajor cities.

Was reading something interesting on how china's huge investment into real estate to the point of overextension means they don't have an easy area to target to reinflate economy.

2015 TV Thread
I liked the ode to fight club with playing the pixies at the end. I actually hope that they do not unwind for us too much when elliot was speaking and when he was just imagining his dad speaking. That's part of the fun. Tyrell, well, there is the possibility he was this gung-ho because he also had a plan to bring down E Corp but from the inside. But that's...a hell of a plan. (Hey become the most successful tech person at the biggest company in the world, and then destroy it) But that's my wife's idea.

Iranian Nuclear Deal
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Because North Korea's economy is strong and heavily involved in international trade? GMAB. They trade a bit of money with China for electricity and then receive food aid to keep their people from starving. They have a sweet counterfeit trade with China.

Iranian Nuclear Deal
You guys remember when Clinton was appeasing North Korea too much and then Bush came in and we broke off communications to make it so much tougher on them and then they had an atomic bomb. They really respected the harder line.

KW to Toronto?
Apologize if this was explained, But wasn't the issue last year in JR rejecting that they were basically going around the back of JR's friend, the current president of the blue jays, in pushing him out? It wasn't that he objected to KWs move.

Iranian Nuclear Deal
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2015 -> 10:24 AM) yes, you're relying on Iran to collect them, but that's why the video and photography equipment come in. It's not independent collection, it would be collection with verification of appropriate collection, with no "trust" involved. If you don't personally collect the samples but you can verify the locations and conditions the samples are collected under and verify the chain of custody by observing that the appropriate sites are sampled after initial measurements, the seals on the samples are closed on video, and then the sampels are returned to the IAEA in a short time period with no damage to the seal, then you've got what you need to conduct an appropriate investigation of the site for nuclear material. That doesn't involve trusting Iran as I've outlined it here. Again, since the AP article was so vague I can't say with 100% certainty there is no loophole in there, but this seems like an entirely logical setup that an international organization would arrange in order to get access to secured military facilities for nuclear inspection. No country would want foreign observers on military sites so some procedure would need to be prepared to allow the necessary monitoring and sampling of those sites in order to make any agreement possible. It's vague because they scrubbed the older paragraphs, they said Iran did not have to provide photos and that IAEA would not be present during the sampling, except the final agreement will have the IAEA there on the ground while Iran gets the samples. Luckily, to assume more space, they have added four introductory paragraphs of politicians denouncing the revelations they have since removed.
