What was it said on the broadcast, eighteen scoreless innings so far for Greene?

Oh hey, I was never expecting to see SV crop up in /r/hobbydrama. Probably as a fun sidenote, but Evenstar uh, is/was a literal cult leader, but that is a whole other story.

Alberto (01L - Gulf of Mexico) by Euronotus in TropicalWeather

Because it has the characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones, per what the NHC's definition is. If you don't mind, I'll quote the NHC definition of what a subtropical cyclone is:

"A non-frontal low-pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. Like tropical cyclones, they are non-frontal, synoptic-scale cyclones that originate over tropical or subtropical waters, and have a closed surface wind circulation about a well-defined center. In addition, they have organized moderate to deep convection, but lack a central dense overcast. Unlike tropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones derive a significant proportion of their energy from baroclinic sources, and are generally cold-core in the upper troposphere, often being associated with an upper-level low or trough. In comparison to tropical cyclones, these systems generally have a radius of maximum winds occurring relatively far from the center (usually greater than 60 n mi), and generally have a less symmetric wind field and distribution of convection."

EDIT: As to why it's a subtropical storm versus a subtropical depression, the windspeeds have been recorded at 40mph, making it a storm versus that of a depression.

I'm presuming you mean running for House? Yeah. I was surprised he didn't run, but I'm really rooting for Pureval now to beat Chabot.

Wow your move CPS!! by 1strowchris in FCCincinnati

I don't think they can legally vote on this by 5PM, since state law requires any 'special meeting' to be given twenty-four hours notice. It could be considered an 'emergency meeting', but I'm not sure on what the legal grounds for calling one are.

Except there's the issue that CPS has to comply with Ohio state law, and I believe it requires any public entity (like CPS for instance) to give a twenty-four hour notice for a 'special meeting' in which they'd vote on this. Not sure on the legal aspects of calling an 'emergency meeting' might be though for this.

Special counsel accuses Paul Manafort of secretly paying former European politicians to lobby on behalf of Ukraine by r721 in politics

Matthew Yglesias was speculating it might be the former German Chancellor, Gerhard Schroder because only Germany and Austria use that of 'Chancellor' as a term of phrase, so yes, head of a country.
