Great blocks by the lineman. However, what is overlooked by us casual observers is Thompson's block on the DE. The analysis explains that Kaelin Clay had been asked to make this block in the past few weeks and failed. Thompson, on the other hand, makes the block look easy and takes the DE 5 yards into the backfield after Shady goes by. Thompson has a ton more value than just his connection with Tyrod.

There was overwhelming evidence on the video to overturn the call on the field? How can they determine when he "recovered." It's a terrible call

Damn that thread is far down on the front page

They would only announce the three cuts today because they obtained three from the waiver wire, right? Edit: Nevermind, I found the list. LB Deon Lacy (from MIA), TE Khari Lee (from DET), OT Conor McDermott (from NE)

It's not about brand, it's just about knowing where to point your antenna. I have mentioned tvfool many times because it's extremely easy to use. Enter you address and point the antenna in the direction of the channel you want.

Damn, where is the like button? I would hit it as many times as possible! I get funny looks for being OTA, but I love it!

I see​, using any means possible is just bad form. Now I get it. Nope wasn't even going there. I just really wanted to know why most everyone's stance is always D's are terrible. It's true that all politicians are terrible, just say it as it is. They all use whatever they can to fulfill their agenda.

Why is it always the D's lack integrity? How many open Federal judge positions are out there because of the R's refusal to work bipartisan(ly?)? I'm not looking to put one group in front of another, I'm just stating that it seems hypocritical to say it's all the D's fault and they lack any integrity.

This happens a lot!

With all you right wing nuts on here , I'm not surprised that Colonel Angus from SNL (Christopher Walken) isn't listed. There's no good video to link except directly to NBC: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/colonel-angus-comes-home/n11685?snl=1

"... and with one wave of my magic wand, my brother was gone! HaHaHa!" Advisors: "Do we tell him?"

Oh, so now you know how the Federal Government and Trump feels! Find them, FIND the LEAK!! Give me your Cell Phone!

I can't believe I forgot Dexter!

I know what the STAR program (for Fed OSHA states, Voluntary Protection Program) is. It is an audit of your workplace once and then supplemental audits every X amount of years. The program was put in place to to decrease the amount of OSHA routine inspections. If a company stated they were following the VPP (or STAR) guidelines, then they were pretty much exempt from routine inspections. It's just like being ISO 9001 compliant. You make a claim, an audit is done once, and every few years they come back for a surveillance audit. It's a nice sign to say "look we are really safe!" but really it's no different than other companies. So you worked in the chemical industry, so you must be aware of the hierarchy of controls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_hazard_controls). Elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE. Rarely does a company work with the first two, since it would hurt their business. I get it. However the last three tend to be inverted in industries, where a reliance on PPE is paramount. The examples I provided showed a lot of shortcuts being taken that led to the disasters. If it were just simply middle management and training then your right it'd be fixed. It's not that though. Organizationally, there are major issues when the companies only look for soaring stock prices. They make their company an upside down triangle, ready to tip over at any moment. The executives don't care, however, because they make their money and move on (hence the job losses in America). One of the first things to go down the drain in these instances is the spending of safety and propagation of blaming the workers (and believe me if you were truly looking for the root cause of incidents, workers actions are rarely the problem). Insurance companies have done their damage as is. Safety programs are becoming convoluted and unnecessarily contradictory because of them. One policy will state to do X, while a second and third policy will state NOT to do X. Why is that?? It's to decrease culpability of the management and to show insurance that we have a program in place to cover your issues. State level DOL's and OSHA will not pick up the slack,. There are underfunded to begin with. The in-depth investigations will not get completed because they take too much time, and the organizations will deem them to cost prohibitive (not to mention the lobbying inside the organizations).

Many different organizations handle chemical issues, depending on where they are. The CSB has never been able to enforce anything, they have provided recommendations to the chemical industry. The CSB was created in 1990, operational in 1998, following the design of the two programs you mention: NTSB and federal DOT. Enforcement of the laws fall under OSHA and the EPA. Have you heard of these major industrial incidents: http://www.csb.gov/west-fertilizer-explosion-and-fire-/ http://www.csb.gov/chevron-refinery-fire/ http://www.csb.gov/tesoro-refinery-fatal-explosion-and-fire/ http://www.csb.gov/ndk-crystal-inc-explosion-with-offsite-fatality-/ http://www.csb.gov/e-i-dupont-de-nemours-co-fatal-hotwork-explosion/ (Tonawanda Explosion) http://www.csb.gov/kleen-energy-natural-gas-explosion/ http://www.csb.gov/citgo-refinery-hydrofluoric-acid-release-and-fire/ (You probably don't know this one, but watch the security video of the Hydrofluoric Acid release, scary stuff) http://www.csb.gov/imperial-sugar-company-dust-explosion-and-fire/ http://www.csb.gov/bp-america-refinery-explosion/ http://www.csb.gov/macondo-blowout-and-explosion/ (Deepwater Horizon) Now I didn't just list a ton of incidents. I listed a lot of FATAL incidents (minus the HF one) that happen in out country. This is only a small percentage of the investigations they have completed. Do you really think OSHA would do as much in-depth investigation as these? A lot of safety recommendations and practice best practices can be learned from these investigations. The Chemical industry poses a significant hazard to workers on site, but also civilians around these sites. Bophal anyone? https://www.britannica.com/event/Bhopal-disaster Folding into OSHA, for instance, will decrease funding and decrease the effectiveness of the CSB. It wouldn't be too long before some bureaucratic person came along said, "CSB, what does it do? Cut it," just like is happening here. Well meaning people think that consolidating resources is a good idea, but in reality consolidation usually just saves money and decreases output.

You know what the statement meant, but continue to ignore that about 13 people die a day at work in the United States. Ha!🍻

I can agree with the sentiment of your statement. All large organizations, whether they are government or a corporation, have redundancies that can be weeded out. But I don't believe that this list is a list of redundant agencies providing duplicate services. It is more political than that. The CPB is the most obvious one. Cut the CPB and you get rid of NPR. Awesome for conservatives, right? But cut CPB and great shows that can be used to promote STEM to children is gone (Bill Nye the Science Guy on PBS in the 90s, Nova science, current). There won't be enough donation funding to keep PBS afloat in all cities. Read through that list and you can see that these are politically motivated, many providing services for low income citizens.

Working in the chemical industry, I'm upset at the proposed gutting of the Chemical Safety Board (CSB). This organization has done nothing but investigate fatal accidents and incidents within the chemical industry for over 20 years and provide detailed analysis of the incidents and how to prevent them. The CSB also provides best practices that prevent deaths in the industry. When a significant event happens in the chemical industry, I have always looked forward to their investigations and findings to see if there is any takeaways that I can use at work. The best example I have is the from Dupont welding incident in Tonawanda. Our life critical permits changed as a result of that incident, and if we changed them others did too. This seemingly inconsequential change will undoubtedly save lives. Not working in the industry, I can see why people would think it's a waste of money. Considering the amount of people our country kills a year at work (Private industry: 4379 in 2015), I think could stand to learn what each organization does before cutting it.

Do we have an update on how this researcher is doing now? I'm​ asking that because it is generally agreed that if you do the Atkin's diet you will do fairly well in dieting, until you stop. Once you stop, there's a high likelihood that you will balloon right back up. The results are astonishingly unexpected, but I will still stay away from McDonald's food because I don't devote as much time to excising as he did.

That's a pretty poor response, I might add

So you have a mud flap type antenna. Best reception would be to place it high near an exterior window or wall. Every time you place the antenna in a new place you need to do a channel scan on your TV, or your less likely to get new channels. Don't trust the mileage that these antenna are giving. If you did a tvfool plot you'll be looking for the signals in the green area as a high likelihood of receiving. Once you get to the yellow area, you probably aren't going to receive those stations unless you are on an exterior window. Also if a channel is in the white center area of the plot, your powered flap will cause "overload" and will decrease your ability to receive other channels. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the surgery.

That last part is what differentiates a mindless follower from a rational thinking human being. Just because you have a view on something doesn't mean you can't be wrong. To use an over used saying, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. Those that can accept this reality have an ability to understand more of the world around them and can act in a rational forward thinking manner.

Holy ****, really? I think someone should just continually eat these "most nutritious" burgers and see what happens to their body. Not surprising that the Freakonomics people came up with it.
