  4. 'This tarnishes everything': Astros cheating allegations have baseball world demanding punishment SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Major League Baseball general managers slowly trickled out through the resort courtyard late Thursday morning to catch rides to the airport, talking and laughing with one another, giving their best Thanksgiving wishes, and promising to catch up on the phone. One GM stood off to the side, obscured by the tall bushes toward the check-in desk, not talking to a soul. Jeff Luhnow, general manager of the Houston Astros, was the man everyone was talking about at these annual general manager meetings, but for all of the wrong reasons. There may be 30 different agendas at these meetings, but this time virtually all were united on one front. They want to see the Astros go down. And go down hard. They want the Astros to pay a fortune in penalties, being fined a record amount of money, forfeiting draft picks, international signing bonuses, and two even told USA TODAY Sports they wish MLB would force them to vacate the 2017 World Series title.

  5. List all the sportsbooks you've used so far this year, and rate them. Share the good, the bad, and the ugly of each shop you are or have done business with so far this year.
  6. Why not POP the question and bring her home with you forever?
  7. How cold is it, really? Tell us about that artic blast ...
  8. Why is this fight happening again? What was the controversy? Seemed to me like Wilder beat Ortiz pretty easily, no?
  9. Unemployment benefits what a nice safety net to fall back on for situations like these.
  10. TheREV, is this a confirmed, official play?
  11. Nicotine vaping age to go up as CDC calls finding THC additive in lungs a "breakthrough" Federal officials announced Friday they discovered an oily derivative of vitamin E in the lungs of patients hospitalized with vaping-related illnesses, a finding the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called a "breakthrough." The additive, vitamin E acetate, is sometimes used to dilute THC oil, particularly by street dealers. THC is the compound in marijuana that produces a “high." Of 29 lung tissue samples from 10 states tested for the additive, all contained vitamin E acetate. "These new findings are significant because for the first time we have detected a potential toxin of concern — vitamin E acetate — in biologic samples from patients with lung injuries associated with the use of e-cigarette or vaping products," said the CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat on a call with reporters. She described it as a "breakthrough" that the additive was found "at the primary site of injury within the lung." The CDC reported as of Tuesday, the outbreak has sickened 2,051 people and resulted in 39 confirmed deaths. Schuchat noted the "trend in cases appears to be downward, but some states are still being hard hit." The announcement of a possible cause of the lung injuries came soon after President Trump told reporters Friday morning the administration would raise the legal age to purchase electronic cigarettes nationally, likely to 21. The move is tied to a much-anticipated rule on flavored vaping products Trump said would be announced next week. The legal age for vaping now varies by state with many allowing it at 18 and more increasing it to 21... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2019/11/08/vaping-legal-age-go-up-expected-part-flavor-ban-next-week/2529259001/
  12. Were they credit wagering or post up accounts? If credit, those are definitely a lot harder to look up... Coin wallets, yikes... that would sound like a mission impossible.
  13. DES MOINES, Iowa – A man convicted of murder was rushed from the Iowa State Penitentiary to a hospital in 2015 where his heart was restarted five times. He claims his life sentence was fulfilled by his short-lived death, and he has overstayed his prison time by four years... Benjamin Schreiber, found guilty of first-degree murder in 1997 and sentenced to life behind bars without the possibility of parole, was hospitalized in March 2015 after large kidney stones caused him to develop septic poisoning, according to court records. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was unconscious, records show. Though Schreiber signed a "do not resuscitate" agreement years earlier, medical staff called his brother in Texas who told them, "If he is in pain, you may give him something to ease the pain, but otherwise you are to let him pass," according to court records. Doctors proceeded to save his life by administering resuscitation fluids through an IV. Then he underwent surgery to fix the damage done by the kidney stones. link to the story: https://news.yahoo.com/man-serving-life-sentence-says-194608585.html
  14. There Are Billions in Unclaimed Assets Out There. Some Could Be Yours.Before his mother died in 2018 at the age of 84, Thomas Plante used some of his time on frequent visits to her home in Rhode Island to help get her estate in order. Early on, he found a life insurance policy that a relative had bought for her in 1933, when she was born. Because his mother had always lived in Rhode Island, Plante searched the state’s unclaimed property website for other assets. “I knew that if there was any money, that’s where it would be,” he said. “Once you start looking, you find — wow! — she had a bank account I didn’t know about.” He also found that she owned a few shares of stock in AT&T, SBC Communications and Brighthouse and had a number of uncashed dividend checks. The total value of her financial assets was modest, a little more than $10,000, but Plante, 59, said it was enough to give her a proper funeral, which was important to his mother, who was Catholic. Plante’s mother was one of many people for whom government agencies hold tens of billions of dollars’ worth of bank accounts, insurance policies, stocks, bonds, jewelry and other unclaimed assets. The owners of those assets have died, moved without leaving a new address or simply lost track of their property. No government agency tracks the value of all unclaimed assets throughout the country, but independent estimates, including for matured Treasury savings bonds, run as high as $80 billion. And the total has been growing faster than states can find owners or heirs. https://news.yahoo.com/billions-unclaimed-assets-could-yours-132301854.html
  15. This is important. Can we get an more thorough explanation, please?
  16. This week the Chargers’ owner denied his team will relocate to London. But such rumors are unsurprising when home support struggles Tom Kludt Thu 7 Nov 2019 09.00 GMT Last modified on Thu 7 Nov 2019 15.58 GMT Shares 23 Comments 41 The stands were a sea of Packers green rather than Chargers blue when the teams met in LA on Sunday. Photograph: Jake Roth/USA Today Sports The Los Angeles Chargers returned to southern California on Sunday after playing the previous two weeks on the road, but it didn’t make much difference. Home-field advantage doesn’t really apply to the Chargers, not when visiting fans routinely make the team feel like they’re behind enemy lines in their own stadium. That was the case again on Sunday, when the Chargers hosted the Green Bay Packers. The predominant color in the stands was the green of the visitors, and the cheers rang out louder for Aaron Rodgers than Philip Rivers. The home team won, convincingly at that, but most people left the stadium disappointed. It has become one of the peculiar features of the NFL calendar since both the Chargers and Rams relocated to Los Angeles in 2017, marking a reunion between America’s second-largest market and its most popular sporting league: more often than not, the teams’ home games look and sound like home games for the opposition. Chargers players were showered with boos when they took the field against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles two years ago. The Rams got the same treatment last season at home against the Packers. Both Rivers, the Chargers quarterback, and Rams quarterback Jared Goff have regularly been forced to use a silent count to combat the noise generated by the away side’s fans, typically an unnecessary measure to take for a team playing at home.
