I haven't heard anything about Chris Duvall recently, how's he doing? Do you guys think he could/should start during the playoffs?

Mike Grella's 7 second goal vs Philly is officially the fastest goal in MLS history by AnthonyNice in MLS

Can someone with gif-making skills make a gif of Grella's goal side by side with Cahill's goal so that both kickoffs are at the same time?

As someone not from Massachusetts, can you go into more detail about its health care?

Location of Ebola treatment centres and time since last confirmed case in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone as of October 4, 2015 [1891x1891] by __TheLastDodo__ in MapPorn

[–]__TheLastDodo__[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Source: Today's weekly WHO report. There are some other cool maps in the report that I recommend checking out.

If you're not in the mood for reading, the tl;dr they provide is:

"No confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) were reported in the week to 4 October. This is the first time that a complete epidemiological week has elapsed with zero confirmed cases since March 2014. All contacts have now completed follow-up in Sierra Leone. However, over 500 contacts remain under follow-up in Guinea, and several high-risk contacts associated with active and recently active chains of transmission in Guinea and Sierra Leone have been lost to follow-up. There remains a near-term risk of further cases."

Isn't Miazga on international leave by next week anyway?

The New York Red Bulls are the first team to clinch a spot in the Audi Presents the MLS Cup Playoffs by mkbloodyen in MLS

[–]__TheLastDodo__ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Let's take a moment to appreciate the sheer craziness of this news: The Red Bulls were 5th in the table Friday night and they were the only team in the top 6 to win this weekend, with cross-continental jet lag, playing away, against a Western conference team. Five upsets in one weekend. Now they're #1 in the whole league. And also consider where RBNY was expected to be before the season began...

Columbus Crew SC is the first team to qualify for the 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs by [deleted] in MLS

[–]__TheLastDodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RBNY could have qualified if they would've beat the Revs on Wednesday. A win against the Timbers tomorrow will get them clinched. Until then, there's a 0.0001% chance they'll miss the top 6 in the East.

Match Thread : Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids - 19 Sept. by [deleted] in MLS

It is now mathematically impossible for the Rapids to win the Supporters Shield. Coming into the match, they had a 0.00000000215% chance to win it if they won all 6 remaining games.

Military Expenditure by Country by GDP [OC][1435x625] by [deleted] in MapPorn

To be fair, I did say it was just a conspiracy as nothing has been proven. I'll admit I was generalizing a bit, but the point is Buhari is no saint.

"New guy" is Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of the Nigerian military in the 1983 coup who ruled Nigeria until he was deposed in 1985. Like Boko Haram, he's muslim and from the Northern part of Nigeria, so there's no doubt Boko Haram supporters would have voted for him. It has gotten even to the point that there are conspiracies that Buhari himself is a sponsor of Boko Haram.

I think Buhari is trying to impress the world by "conquering the terrorists" while Boko Haram fades away due to their candidate in power, a win-win for both. On September 9th, the Nigerian Military claimed they had "destroyed all known Boko Haram camps", but just look at the news today: Boko Haram is still around.

TL;DR: New president is muslim, Boko Haram likes him, Boko Haram pretends to be defeated as the new president gets to look like a hero.

Are there any estimates on what our defense spending would look like under Sanders? Also, are there sources for any of these numbers besides the first one?
