Or, you know, since American military forces may at times work with African military forces or be asked to deploy to central Africa the military decided it would be a good idea to work on treatments for a highly deadly disease that they would very likely come into contact with.

First of all, you have done some amazing work and brought back incredibly interesting and, at times, (in the case of Titanic) haunting images.

That being said, having reached the Challenger Deep-what do you plan to do next: do you want to return to the deepest part of the ocean, or do you find yourself drawn to a new destination(and what challenges do you expect to face in reaching that destination)?

Of course you won't, because right now you rarely see images of everyone looking at the photos anyway. But that's what these will be used for. If you are actually at a game, look at the sidelines and you will see an assistant coach by the bench holding a thick 3-ring binder. These binders hold photos taken from the coaches booth near the press box and show the other team in different alignments. With tablets allowed on the sidelines, instead of having someone run off a bunch of photos they can just be pushed to tablets on the sidelines. Depending on NFL rules they may even be able to push recordings as well. Players already spend hours each day watching film, if they could I am sure they would study film during the game as well. Since teams always tweak their game plan depending on the characteristics of their opponent, previous gamefilm can only tell so much.

And have you ever watched/attended a game and seen a large dry erase board on the sidelines? These are used to draw up or adjust plays on the fly. Generally the offensive or defensive coordinator will call down to an assistant and have them draw up the new play for the players to see. Using tablets the coordinator could draw up the new play himself and simply send it to the tablets the players have on the sideline. This could also allow for animated playback, showing the players how the coordinator wants the play to develop without having to draw more lines than John Madden having a stroke.

Then there is also the fact that for challenges the referees already use a hooded screen. They aren't going to be standing around in the middle of the field holding a tablet.

This guy should be head of the GOP

I think MLK is going to be too busy spanking his kids for eternity after the way they've fought over and tarnished his legacy these past few decades.

So would you argue that affirmative action and hiring/acceptance quotas are discrimination since they put a higher value on some races than they do others?

The scene with Saruman in the first movie.

You do realize for student loans (you went federal and not private I assume, right?) there are income-based repayment plans. For the next year I only have to pay $32 a month because I am only making about 27k for the year. There's no reason you should be paying $700 a month if you can't afford it.

I have a pinched nerve in my lower back. That caused more pain than when I walked around on a broken foot for 3 days, with some numbness and loss of strength to boot. I think an 11 is perfectly applicable.

Wrestlers used to draw a couple pints of blood before weigh-ins to drop a couple ounces to make weight. After the weigh-in they would re-inject the blood.

They wasted a very valuable opportunity here. The jaws do not have razor sharp jagged teeth nor are either of the recipients over 7 feet tall.

In many airports the airport police IS the city police

Strollers are always gate checked. You wheel the stroller down the jetway, take your kids out, and leave it by the door. After everyone has boarded, either the gate agent or the ramp gate crew will take the strollers and any carry-on bags that didn't fit in the overhead bins and stowes them in either the bulk bin(for widebody aircraft) or the front compartment (generally bin 1) in the belly of the plane (this bin is usually the last one filled up in an aircraft). When the aircraft lands that bin is the first one open and the gate crew takes the strollers and leaves them by the door of the plane. The gate checked bags end up at baggage claim or transferred to a connecting flight. But if you are flying with a stroller, you really don't need to bring your every day stroller that seats 4, has 6 cup holders, and has enough storage space you could live out of it for a month on your 5-day vacation to wherever. Those things are a bitch to try to lug up those stairs, especially when you have 4 of them. The small ones that fold up (some even have carrying bags with a shoulder strap) are so much easier and lighter. I have worked as a gate agent and on the ramp on gate crews at the busiest airport in the world, and my advice is this: make things as easy as you can for the crews, and your things are less likely to get damaged. Not out of malice, but because the amount of gate checks gets larger every year and right before departure is the busiest time for the gate crew.

I'm not buying it unless it has gold plated connectors.

Not exactly. There is a distinct difference between a soldier and a combatant. A soldier is trained and is a member of a standing military. The separatists can at best be described as "irregulars", or insurgents or rebels if you want to go with slightly more charged terminology. And who exactly is this "everyone" who are agreeing that they are all Eastern Ukranians? I have yet to see any reputable source make that claim. And Russia is not just supplying small arms to these groups. They are giving them tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery, and anti-air systems (both MANPADS and tracked systems). You don't just pick these systesms up and start using them. They are recieving training, either in Russia or locally from trainers that Russia has moved into Ukraine. And given the fact that the missiles were launched from inside territory controlled by the rebelsis a very important detail. Why would the Ukrainians have anti-air equipment deployed in an area they do not control, against an enemy with no air power? All evidence points to the missiles being fired by the separatists, which means Russia had a hand in at the very least training them on how to use the equipment if not providing that equipment as well as continuing to use their influence to keep the conflict going.
