Two Cincinnati women tell FOX19 they were stunned to learn young doctors, referred to as residents, had operated on them in surgeries that resulted in painful complications. However, teaching hospital leaders say residents aren't allowed to operate until they've undergone years of training and that it's safe.
But Donna Miller feels misled. When she met a veteran surgeon who was going to do her gallbladder surgery in Cincinnati, she says she asked him if he was the one who was going to be operating on her.
"And he said yes," Miller recalled. "Which to me, meant he was going to be doing my surgery."
However, the verb "do" seems to be in some dispute.
After a review of what happened in the operating room, University of Cincinnati Medical Center's Dr. Robert Wones, who's in charge of quality assurance, wrote Miller a letter, which she turned over to FOX19. In it, Dr. Wones said, "From our perspective, the resident surgeon did not 'do your surgery,' (the veteran surgeon) did."
The surgery went from a one-hour operation to take out Miller's gallbladder to a five-and-a-half hour ordeal, according to Miller, after a liver specialist had to be called in after a resident accidentally cut open her common bile duct, which is near the gallbladder. Miller isn't happy with the hospital's explanation either.
"Every other word was, 'We carefully did this, we carefully did that.' Carefully, carefully, carefully," Miller said. "Well, if they'd been so careful in the first place, I wouldn't have had to have had all that other surgery."
But from U.C. Medical Center's perspective, according to the letter written by Dr. Wones, the bile duct complication is fairly common. In fact, hospital spokeswoman Diana Lara says the common bile duct something a veteran surgeon might accidentally nick, too. However, it's not a "mistake," according to Dr. Wones' letter.
"We are sorry that this complication occurred but do not believe that it occurred because of a mistake or error on the surgeons' part," he wrote to Miller. "This complication was recognized promptly and treated appropriately by the team."
He also noted that it was a possible complication mentioned in the surgery consent form Miller signed, though it, too, is in dispute. There's a consent form in which a physician's assistant wrote "no medical students" next to a paragraph about residents and other personnel potentially being involved in the surgery. Miller put her initials under that. But she says she also signed another document, which the hospital says it has no record of, in which the physician's assistant crossed out the entire paragraph about residents and "other trainees" and Miller initialed.
From Miller's point of view, she clearly told the veteran surgeon she only wanted him operating on her and believes he gave her that assurance in their face-to-face consultation.
Dr. Wones, who agreed to sit down with FOX19 this afternoon but due to federal privacy laws could not discuss the specifics of Miller's case, says doctors should verbally inform patients about who's going to perform the surgery.
"I think I could agree with the statement that full and complete disclosure and transparency's a good thing," said Dr. Wones.
He says, though, that at a teaching hospital like UCMC the public should expect that residents will be involved in their healthcare. He believes that it's the hospital's affiliation with the University of Cincinnati that attracts some of the best surgeons in the country, many of whom want to be on the frontlines of medical research and teach the next generation of physicians.
By the time a resident is allowed to participate in a surgery, Dr. Wones says, they have undergone years of medical training.
"Our residents do (operate on) simulation mannequins, animals and so forth, before they operate on human beings. But yes at some point you've got to operate --- or examine or interview or whatever it is the doctors do --- on a real live patient," Wones said. "Otherwise, you would have no doctors."
Miller says that's fine. But she believes her wishes to not have anyone but the veteran surgeon operate on her were ignored. Complicating matters for her, she has no health insurance, inhibiting her access to good healthcare, she says. Miller wishes residents would only operate on those with health insurance in case there are complications. (The UCMC spokeswoman, through FOX19, welcomed her to get treatment for the pain she continues to endure since the hospital treats the poor and those without insurance. However, Miller told us she's too frightened to go back to UCMC and will never voluntarily go under the knife again anywhere.)
No one was sued in Miller's case. And no one was found to have committed malpractice.
Cincinnati medical malpractice attorney Don Moore, who hosts a weekly call-in show on FOX19, believes it's misleading for UCMC --- and teaching hospitals in general --- to claim that a veteran surgeon actually "did" an operation, when they merely supervised it.
"I don't think people think that way when it comes to driving a car or doing anything else that takes a great deal of skill," Moore said. "So the idea of saying that they're just doing the surgery, when they're letting a beginner learn without the patient's knowledge, is just wrong."
He also argues that the consent forms spelling-out the possibility of residents and other trainees performing the operation aren't sufficient because patients often aren't given enough time to read them before being asked to sign them.
However, patients at U.C. Medical Center are allowed to take consent forms home and study them, spokeswoman Diana Lara said. The forms only need to be turned-in by the time the surgery is set to begin.
Moore represented a woman who underwent a hysterectomy at an undisclosed Tri-State hospital and ended-up with a blood infection, resulting in sepsis. He allowed us to meet his former client as long as we agreed not to identify her because she signed a confidentiality agreement with the hospital as part of the lawsuit settlement.
Like Miller, Moore's former client blames the resident in her surgery for hurting her.
"She couldn't really tell what she was doing and she poked a hole in my bladder," the woman said.
She recalls that what was supposed to be a two-hour surgery turned into seven. She spent four days in the intensive care unit.
"I knew that residents could possibly watch and learn," she said, "but I didn't realize that they would be touching me."
The medical community says it is perfectly safe to be operated on by a resident. Studies on hysterectomies and gallbladder removals performed by residents showed no significant difference in the outcome than if they'd been performed by veteran surgeons, according to the summaries provided on the website of the National Institutes of Health.
The Ohio Medical Board points out that residents must obtain a training certificate before they can work in an Ohio hospital.
A spokeswoman there said Monday that of the 14 residents the board disciplined last year, all of the cases involved drug abuse, not malpractice.

Ruben Vasquez taught first grade at Calderon Elementary
DEL RIO, Texas - A first-grade teacher in Del Rio is in federal custody on child pornography charges.
Ruben Vasquez has been on leave since July after ICA agents and Beaumont police picked up on his alleged activity on the internet.
Ruben Vasquez, 38, was put on leave from his job as a first-grade teacher at Calderon Elementary where he'd been for seven years.
However, the police chief for the San Felipe-Del Rio School District says federal agents told him it does not appear any local children were involved.
According to a federal affidavit, Vasquez claimed curiosity got a hold of him after his divorce.
Agents say they not only found child pornography on his home, but also pornography involving animals.
Parents say they still worry what kind of contact their children may have had with Vasquez.
"If they have any concerns that we to look into, we'll definitely do that," said San Felipe-Del Rio CISD police Chief Raymond Haynes.

Several groups in Tucson are joining the nationwide push today for more gun regulations.
They are observing six months since the shooting at Sandy Hook and making a call to local lawmakers in Washington D.C. These groups will meet this evening at the Little Chapel of Nations on the U of A campus.
The groups putting this on, Moms Demand Action and Organizing for Action, say this is part vigil, part press conference.
They will be paying tribute to the 26 lives lost in Newtown, and showing gratitude to some of Arizona's elected lawmakers.
What they will be doing is making neckties using paper and string, with a message written on front that reads 'I have gun sense.' These will be sent to representatives Grijalva and Barber, as well as Senator McCain, but not to Senator Jeff Flake, who voted no several weeks ago on gun control issues.
The groups are pushing for background checks for everybody and reducing magazine limits.
There are dozens of similar rallies being held all across the country today, to mark the six months since the Sandy Hook shooting.
As for the local rally, everyone is invited to attend at 7 p.m. at the Little Chapel of All Nations at First Street and Highland on the U of A campus.

Unlike previous years, Rina Begum, 36, a mother of three kids, is not very worried about sending her kids to schools during the upcoming rainy season. The housewife from North Karuna village of Hosnabad Union under Betagi Upazila of Borguna district recalls, 'Earlier, rainy season usually meant loss of school days. Rainfall during the four-month period made the roads connecting nearby villages to schools almost inaccessible. Children could hardly use these roads to get to school, leading to loss in school days.'

A nasty contract dispute between the Broward Teachers Union and Pembroke Pines city leaders now threatens to completely dismantle the highly-successful Pines charter schools, as the city has unexpectedly released a privatization plan that could lead to hundreds of teachers losing their jobs.
"It would be terrible for them to do this," said Pines charter parent Linda Lougedo. "I'm, like, in shock."
Pines leaders have for months been warning that the city's seven-school charter system — despite years of "A" ratings from the state — was struggling financially. In recent weeks, the city asked its teachers, who are represented by BTU, to accept a pay cut that would cause them to be paid slightly less than teachers who work for the much-larger Broward School District. The change would be a reversal of fortune for Pines charter teachers, who in recent years have been paid higher wages than their Broward system counterparts.
Pines Mayor Frank Ortis said Monday the pay cuts, if the union agrees, would be short-term, with the hope that higher wages could be restored in a couple of years, when the charters are on stronger financial footing.
"I would commit that when we got the money, we would definitely pay them, without a doubt," Ortis said.
But leaders of the teachers' union have refused to go along with the salary reductions. Pines city officials responded with a dramatic (and highly disruptive) plan: partnering with Charter Schools, USA, a Fort Lauderdale-based firm that is one of the nation's largest for-profit charter school companies.
It's possible the privatization threat is merely the latest hardball negotiation tactic to force Pines teachers to accept pay cuts.
By bringing in a private operator, the city essentially would be creating a legal way to renege on its promises: Pines charters would be freed from their salary obligations under the existing teachers union contract. Ortis said he is opposed to the loss of control that privatization would mean, and he favors the city declaring "financial urgency" – another legal tactic that would nullify the union contract.
Should Pines opt for the more-controversial privatization route, it will force Pines charter school teachers to reapply for their jobs, and there is no guarantee that any of the 300-plus teachers who work there will be retained. For those who are kept on-board, it's likely that their salaries will keep dropping in future years, as private charter operators tend to pay teachers significantly less than public school districts.
Charter Schools, USA did not return a call Monday seeking comment.
Pines City Manager Charles Dodge, who also oversees the city's charter schools, handpicked the company through a no-bid contract. That fact — along with the city commission vote being scheduled for a Wednesday afternoon when many parents will be at work — has fueled criticism that the city is acting without transparency.
Pines charter parent Jody Giraldo said he moved to the suburban city from Miami about 14 years ago, and always valued its small-town government feel. But he said the "back door deals" being made to overhaul his child's school left him feeling disenchanted.
Ortis said the Wednesday vote was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. not to avoid scrutiny, but because it's anticipated there will be many members of the public who want to speak, and the earlier start makes it easier to accommodate everyone.
Asked about the no-bid selection process, Ortis noted that was the city manager's doing. Dodge did not return a call for comment Monday.
The city manager, did, however send a mass email Monday that sought to reassure parents. Dodge wrote that the schools were struggling to close a $2.1 million deficit, and he blasted the teachers union for insisting on more teacher raises as opposed to trying to find a workable budget solution.
Dodge's email downplayed the massive staff turnover that's expected if Charter Schools, USA is brought in. The city manager noted that the same school principals and vice-principals will remain, and "teachers will have the opportunity to be re-employed by this new organization."
Teachers and staff at the seven schools, which together serve more than 5,600 students, were reluctant to comment publicly on Monday — mindful that their future employment with the city already is hanging by a thread. When it comes to the source of the charters' overall budget problems, Pines city leaders have blamed years of cuts to state education funding, along with the refusal of Broward's school district to share capital-improvement dollars that it receives through local property taxes.
It's unclear, however, why Pines leaders, in previous years, agreed to teacher pay contracts that were more generous that what the city could arguably afford. And although Broward's school district has indeed refused to share its capital-improvement dollars, the district legally doesn't have to — when Pines sued to force that money to be shared, the city lost.

By JOHN CORYER
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State baseball team was supposed to have played six games by now.
The Cardinals, however, have played just two because of inclement weather.
Weather shouldn't be an issue beginning today when Plattsburgh makes its annual trip to Winter Haven, Florida for the RussMatt Invitational.
The Cardinals (0-2) will play 10 games today through Saturday, including the final three against Fredonia in SUNY Athletic Conference action.
The trip begins with a 2 p.m. doubleheader against Washington & Jefferson College this afternoon.
"Typically, we're able to get the games in down there," Plattsburgh coach Kris Doorey said on Thursday. "Sometimes it rains a little, but there's enough leeway for us to play all the games we have scheduled."
Plattsburgh, which opened its 2013 season last weekend with a 9-4 and 1-0 doubleheader loss at Farmingdale State, will also play Allegheny College (2), Hamilton College (2) and Framingham State (1) before tangling with Fredonia.
"Washington & Jefferson is currently ranked No. 22 in the country," Doorey said. "Allegheny had a pretty good season a year ago. Hamilton may be the weakest team on paper, but return a lot of players from last year. And Framingham competes well in their conference.
"We've scheduled some pretty tough games early."
The non-conference games lead up to the two-day weekend set against Fredonia, which represents three of the Cardinals' 18 SUNYAC contests.
"The three games at the end of the week are the most important ones for us," Doorey said. "We have to find a way to be ready to go. Fredonia hasn't played yet and they will have only a short time down here before they play us.
"Hopefully, that will work in our favor because we will have some games under our belt by then."
Doorey doesn't know what three pitchers will get the starts against the Blue Devils. He will use Plattsburgh's first seven games in Florida as an opportunity to see how will be the most prepared to take the mound.
"We only had three pitchers extend themselves last weekend," Doorey said. "Kyle Kelly pitched pretty well for us.
"But we haven't seen Rafael Ponce live in a game yet, Colin Crawford threw just a little and Mike Doughtie faced only three batters. We have to see some arms we haven't seen yet."
"The three games against Fredonia are more important than the three we have the following weekend against Cortland. We want to win all three games and get the season started well in the conference. If we come out of it with only one win, that puts us in an early hole."
Doorey is interested to see how his young team will react.
"We're really young this year," he said. "We will get to see how the freshmen react after playing 10 games in seven days. These will be high-intensity games.
"But we're pretty healthy to start the season and the players don't have to worry about anything down there, except playing baseball."


text: It seems like only a few days since the last write-up of an RPG created by former Bioware developers. Neo Scavenger is actually the work of a single man, Dan Fedor, and it's a less lavish production than The Banner Saga. This is a brutal game about survival in a harsh world. It's also one of the best single player turn-based RPGs I've played for a long time.

FOOD. you can't fault it. There is plenty to choose from in the buffet. ( Zanzibar ) We ate at the red velvet in the evening and the menu was good with plenty options. The service was excellent and the waiters ware great.
CABIN. Was very clean. Beds are made in the mornings and fresh towels, and in the evening your bed is turned down and more fresh towels. The cabin boy comes to introduce himself when you first get there. If you need any thing just let them know and they go out of there way to do it for you.
EXCURSIONS. We didn't go on any of them they are very costly from the ship. most ports have a little shuttle bus that's free,to the end of the port. and you can go it alone. There is plenty of busses and maps and it costs so much less to do it that way.
THINGS TO DO ON THE SHIP WHEN AT SEA. there is a paper that is left in your cabin each night telling you what's on and where. Its very informative, Its a must to go to the theater every night. The entertainment is very good, it lasts about 45 minutes.
NEGATIVES There are not a lot of English passengers on board. There are a lot of Germans Italian's, and a mixture of other Europeans. And I will say this they have no manners and they are rude, they push and shove you. I found that hard to deal with. But I will say that the staff on board were helpful and very pleasant to deal with.
DESTINATIONS. The one place that this ship should not sail to is Morocco. Its dirty and third world and the Arabs do not leave you alone. All the other places you visit are beautiful clean and if you want to eat there or get a drink that's fine. I would not recommend you eat or drink any thing from morocco or you might be ill.
I would go on this cruise again but I would not get of at morocco when it docks. I would use MSC again to cruise, We had a great time. and if you read this I'm sure you will fell at ease for your cruise. Happy sailing.

Volleyball Sweeps TAAC Foe Troy State, 3-0
Nov. 4, 2000
TROY, Ala. - Junior outside hitter Carrie Arago (Orlando, Fla.) recorded her 11th double-double of the 2000 season as the Jacksonville University volleyball team defeated TAAC rival Troy State, 3-0, Saturday afternoon at Trojan Arena.
Arago tallied 21 kills and 17 digs in the victory as the Dolphins recorded a .272 attack percentage (57 kills, 16 errors, 151 attempts) while holding the Trojans to a .071 clip (36 kills, 25 errors, 155 attempts).
The win snapped a two-match losing skid for JU as the Dolphins improve to 14-10 overall and 5-3 in league activity. Troy State, meanwhile, fell to 19-9 on the season and 3-5 in the TAAC.
Senior middle hitter Brooke Jackson (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) also finished with a double-digit kills total with 10 while four Dolphins finished with 10-or-more digs. Freshman outside hitter Kelly Ryals (Gainesville, Fla.) led all players with 22 digs, followed by Arago, senior middle hitter Tiffany Twaddle (Dallas, Texas) with 11 and senior outside hitter Juanita Barb (Sarasota, Fla.) with 10.
The Dolphins opened the match scoring the first four points before cruising to a 15-7 win in game one. Game two began with Troy State jumping out to a 2-0 lead, but JU came back to win the second stanza, 15-7. Game three was a back-and-forth battle, as JU held a 9-8 lead. But the Dolphins would go on a 6-1 run to end the match en route to a 15-9 victory.
TSU's Erika VanHootegem led the Trojans with eight kills. Emily Larson had 18 digs, and Amy Kellog chipped in with four service aces. Andrea Ellisor and Rachel Hassan added 12 digs apiece.
JU returns to action when the Dolphins travel to Daytona Beach, Fla., to take on Bethune-Cookman on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.

Related Projects
A strategic dredging project will begin mid-August 2013. The project will vastly improve navigation in the Ashtabula River and Harbor Area of Concern. Dredging is expected to be complete in October, at which time the AOC may be designated an Area of Recovery.
In 2011, Ohio EPA began a large habitat restoration project using Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funds. This federal, state and local effort will develop 1,500 feet of fish shelf in the lower two miles of the river. The shelf will provide native fish species a shallow water habitat to forage and spawn. This project compliments an in-water and shoreline project to increase fish habitat completed in 2010 under the Great Lakes Legacy Act.

About the Ashtabula River
The Ashtabula River lies in extreme northeast Ohio, flowing into Lake Erie's central basin at the city of Ashtabula. Its drainage basin covers an area of 137 square miles, with 8.9 square miles contained in western Pennsylvania. Major tributaries include Fields Brook, Hubbard Run and Ashtabula Creek. The city of Ashtabula is the only significant urban center in the watershed. The rest of the drainage basin is located in predominantly rural and agricultural areas. There is concentrated industrial development around Fields Brook and east of the river mouth.
From the 1940s through the late '70s, unregulated discharges and mismanagement of hazardous waste caused serious contamination in the river's sediments and degraded its biological communities. Major pollutants include PCBs, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mercury and other heavy metals. Regular dredging is being prevented due to the contaminated sediments, seriously impeding both commercial and recreational navigation.
Since 1983, fish consumption advisories have been posted for the Area of Concern. The impairments primarily trace back to the unregulated release of toxic substances from various industrial facilities, including the Fields Brook Superfund site. The 1991 remedial action plan identified six beneficial use impairments in the Ashtabula River AOC.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption
- Degradation of fish and wildlife populations
- Fish tumors or other deformities
- Degradation of benthos
- Restriction on dredging activities
- Loss of fish and wildlife habitat
Efforts towards restoration
The Ashtabula River remedial action planning process began in 1988 with the establishment of the Ashtabula River RAP advisory council. That same year, the council agreed to focus upon an AOC defined as the lower two miles of the Ashtabula River, Ashtabula Harbor and the adjacent nearshore of Lake Erie. A variety of agencies and organizations contribute to the Ashtabula River RAP including federal, state and local agencies, local businesses and industries, and nonprofits.
- 1,600 linear feet of fish shelves were created in 2011 using funds from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The shelves will help restore fish habitat and improve native fish's ability to forage and spawn in shallow waters.
- A comprehensive restoration project began at the 5 ½ Slip site on the Ashtabula River. The site encompasses a very large portion of the AOC and is a critical part of delisting. Expected outcomes of the effort included remediated wetlands, thousands of feet of fish shelves, improved fish and wildlife habitat, improved oxygen levels and better flow rates.
- A Great Lakes Legacy Act cleanup was completed in 2008 at the cost of approximately $70 million. Over 630,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment was removed that included 25,000 pounds of PCBs and other hazardous materials. The project was a collaboration among federal, state and local agencies, and the effort helps to decrease human health and ecological risks that the Ashtabula River poses.
- A post-dredging habitat enhancement report was published in 2008. The report detailed possible restoration plans to consider in the future. Projects are prioritized based on specific criteria and most relate to habitat restoration. However, land preservation and human recreation efforts are also considered.
- Restoration activities at the Fields Brook Superfund site were completed in 2003, though cleanup efforts are ongoing. Continued remediation and monitoring will minimize future contamination in the Ashtabula River AOC.
- A comprehensive management plan for the river was issued in 2001. The plan includes analyses from an investigative and feasibility study, an environmental impact statement, remedy selection and community support.

Lynn had its most important games of the season at the friendly confines of Posey Memorial Field last year.
This year the Bears will have to do their damage on the road if they hope to repeat last year's success. Lynn plays six road games in 2011, including contests against Class 1A, Region 5 leaders Marion County and Parrish as well as a game against Winston County rival Addison to close the season. Four of the six road opponents made the postseason in 2010.
Lynn tallied 11 wins last year — it's highest win total since 2000 — while advancing to the state quarterfinals. The Bears took second in the region behind Marion County and won two playoff games before falling to R.A. Hubbard 34-30 in the third round.
Coach Philip Smith's squad will be road warriors in 2011.
The Bears open the year at Shoals Christian (6-6 in 2010). After back-to-back road games against Berry (6-4) and Meek (2-8), Lynn plays five of its last seven games on the road, though three of those require short trips to neighboring counties.
In Week 4, Lynn plays a key region game at Parrish (10-4). The Bears have won five straight games against the Tornadoes, their longest winning streak in the rivalry, which dates back to 1950.
Lynn plays at Carbon Hill (2-8) in a non-region game in Week 5. Last season the Bears put a school-record 76 points on the scoreboard in a 76-28 win over the Bulldogs.
Lynn returns home in Week 6 against Hubbertville (7-4), which advanced to the playoffs last year for the first time since 2001. Following a road trip to South Lamar (3-7) in Week 7, Lynn plays its final home game against Brilliant (2-8) in Week 8.
The Bears travel to Marion County (8-4) in Week 9 to take on the defending region champs before closing the season at Addison (10-3). Lynn defeated Addison 16-15 in 2010 and has won back-to-back games against the Bulldogs for the first time since the 1950s.
Lynn's 2011 football schedule
Aug. 26-at Shoals Christian; Sept. 2-Berry; Sept. 9-Meek; Sept. 16-at Parrish; Sept. 23-at Carbon Hill; Sept. 30-Hubbertville; Oct. 7-at South Lamar; Oct. 14-Brilliant; Oct. 21-at Marion County; Oct. 28-at Addison

And being about the same age as Peter, Josh, Kenny & Johnny, I can totally appreciate the melding of the two. The love-of and influenced-by really shows up on this album, and the result is a pure winner… more "October Rust" in form and style, a bit of a departure from the funeral dirge of "World Coming Down", a little lighter perhaps, and more musically diverse (and therefore interesting). LIKM has everything TON fans have come to expect: the cover tune (Angry Inch), the politically incorrect tune (I Like Goils), the play on words and love gone wrong tunes (How Could She, A Dish Best Served Coldly), songs of self-loathing and disenchantment (I Don't Wanna Be Me, Life is Killing Me). Musically, TON is in top form here. As usual, Peter and Josh produced the album (can anyone imagine anyone else producing a TON album??), so it has the flavor we've come to expect. You know, the kind that can only be cooked up by the world's foremost Brooklyn NYC goth metal band? The only thing missing from this album is the goof intro track… these are dear to my heart, as one of my fondest memories was the afternoon I came home to find my husband cursing the new DVD/CD player because it wouldn't play CDs right… he'd grabbed "World Coming Down" off the TV cabinet and track 1 (Skip It) was giving him fits… I'm looking forward to seeing Type O Negative when they hit town in early August. Life is good again (even if it's killing Peter Steel).

Still proving that gothic metal need be mordant and humorless, New York's Type O returns with their sixth album of misanthropy, high drama and perversion with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Towering frontman Pete Steele is still the band's focal point and his lyrics are more grotesquely hilarious than ever. Musically, Life is pretty accessible, eschewing much of the brutal, thrashy heaviness of Type O's early material. "(We Were) Electrocute" is a sleek, electro-pop homage to 1980s New Romanticism that showcases Josh Silver's funeral synth lines. The adrenaline-fuelled soft-rock rush of "I Like Goils" comes on like Andrew WK in a vampire cape. And "Less than Zero" finds Type O Negative revisiting one of their more surprising influences, the Beatles, as a sitar cuts through the eerie gloom. –Louis Pattison

"Life is Killing Me" is an album that was four years in the making, and is undoubtadly Type O Negative's best work since the classic "October Rust". Returning to their more melodic and catchy sound a la "Bloody Kisses" and "October Rust", "Life is Killing Me" almost abandons the epic dirges that have become such staples of the band, but in return we get Type O at their musical best, and "Life is Killing Me" is undoubtadly one of the band's best albums. The anthemic "I Don't Wanna Be Me" carries a punkish vibe throughout, while "I Like Goils" is a hilarious toungue-in-cheek take on lead singer Pete Steele's brushes with getting hit on by homosexuals. The title track is a fast paced fist pumping song that will make long time fans of the band stand up and salute. Other standout tracks include "Less Than Zero", "Tod's Ship Gods", "How Could She?", and the surprisingly touching and heart wrenching "Nettie" which tells about Pete's mother. Josh Silver's keyboard work is phenominal here, some of his best in quite some time, and the band as a whole sounds much more tighter than they did on the previous album "World Coming Down". All in all, "Life is Killing Me" is one of, if not the, best albums of the year.
It has been 5 years since the last Type O Negative album, and many thought that Type O was done for good. If you thought that I can not stress how wrong you were. Although World Coming Down was a very good album it still did not live up to their albums like Bloody Kisses or October Rust. This newest release "Life is Killing Me" is in my opinion their best album since Bloody Kisses, and their second best release overall. Unlike World Coming Down, this entire album is good with no weak, boring songs. This album kicks off with an upbeat number "I dont wanna be me", followed by more good songs like "less than zero" and "I like goils". However, this album hit its peak in the middle with tracks 7-10, which are 4 of the best songs Type O has ever written. These four songs, "How could she?", "Life is Killing Me", "Nettie", and (We Were) Electrocute" are all unbelievable songs that remind you why you started listening to Type O Negative in the first place. In conclusion, this is the first Type O Negative CD to actually challenge Bloody Kisses for their best album. In the end this album is right behind Bloody Kisses, and shows that Type O Negativ are still here, and have officially sealed themselves as music legends.:
i can count those cd which i loved from start to finish, on one hand. Life is killing me makes no exception, it's just 75 minutes of sheer gothic/groovy/doom/punk goodness. TON makes a jaw-droppingly (does such term exist?) organic music that meanders through all the above mentioned styles (and then some) and still comes out as in-your-face, remarkably tight music. jee, i almost forgot about the lyrics!well just like the music, they also range from doomy lyrics about loss and despair, to happy-go-lucky downright hilarious (try the exquisitely 'macho' , "I like Goils"), more than a mere passing nod at punk (Angry inch) as well as tunes in the purest heavy metal vain such as "i dont wanna be me". this is greatness from start to finish and i'm even tempted to place it above "Bloody Kisses" because TON never sounded that good and catchy. well at least not for a whole straight 75 minutes! for all of you cynics out there, this album is for you! Thank you, TON, for a blinding return to form.
Dark, Moody, Happy, Uplifting, Rock, Goth, Industrial, Catchy, Kitschy, Playful, Poetic, Silly; all this and more rolled up into one CD. Though I don't skate directly into the hardcore Goth music culture, I enjoy flitting about the edges of the genre and sampling what looks to be tasty offerings.I thought that Type O Negative was strictly for heavy Goth aficionados, but I was wrong. If you like rock or industrial or both, you will probably like this CD also. Type O Negative's Peter Steele manages to blend all these different variations and inflections into a mix that doesn't deny any of its origins.The first song, "Thi13teen" is a short instrumental, only one minute and not worth much mention as it is mostly an introductory piece. Following it is "I Don't Wanna Be Me", which is so darn catchy it's addictive. Fast and fun, I find myself singing this ditty in the halls at work."Less than Zero" uses a sitar in its hypnotic melody, with dark and gross lyrics that talk about snot and poop, pus and blood; all combine to form another of my favorites from this CD. I love the grinding of the guitars in combination with the relaxed sounds of the sitar and a bit of added conga drums to spice up the exotic flavor of the music."Todd's Ship Gods" is more about remembering what Father told you, bringing to mind how big adults were when we were little, and how whatever they said was taken for granted. I'm sure this is just my interpretation, but I like the song nonetheless and found that despite rather moody lyrics, the tune has an uplifting quality that is subtle but undeniable."I like Goils" is very catchy, kind of like "I Don't Wanna Be Me", and has some absolutely hilarious lyrics involving vocalist/songwriter Peter Steele letting the world know which way he swings, a special message to the high heeled boys that "he likes Goils"."A Dish Best Served Coldly" is a dreary and sullen seven minute ride through a stupor of vengeful thoughts, not one of my favorites."How Could She?" takes a silly lyrical tribute to the past babes of TV, both real and cartoon, and places it to ballad versus and thumping choruses, and wraps up with a little thrashing before falling back into the ballad. Not a favorite, but certainly a fun piece."Life Is Killing Me", the title song for this CD, is a showcase for Steele's Goth influenced vocals, with the melody practically stopping while he intones his dissatisfaction with the medical institutions and professionals; then speeding up to a fast and catchy chorus. This is one of my favorites, another one of the tracks I find myself humming in the hallways at work. Though "Nettie" starts out with heavy Gothic vocals, it quickly turns into a pure rock chorus compete with a driving "railroad" beat. This would be the "love song" of LIKM, with Steele actually penning some affection into the words."(We Were) Electrocute" is a playful, nostalgic glance back at our wasted youth, with an amusing "Na na na" chorus and some excellent drum and guitar work at the ending."Iydkmigthtky (Gimme That)" is one of the more "Gothic" tunes on the CD, Steele using his deep guttural voice especially on the third verse, and the tune is dark and rather monotonous, following the morose humor of the genre.Now "Angry Inch", this song is Punk all the way, with a heavy "Murderdolls" influence to the music and side-splittingly funny lyrics about a sex change operation gone wrong. One of my favorites! )"Anesthesia" is a haunting song, beautiful and poetic and moving. It's a love song, but its about lost love and the numbness that follows that loss. There are also some interesting synthesizers in this tune, sometimes piano and sometimes organ, and you can practically hear the tears in Steele's voice. Beautiful song. "Drunk In Paris" is a short, one and a half minute instrumental that has the mood of one of the old-time scary movies; Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, masters of the B&W horror flicks."The Dream Is Dead" is also a song of lost love, but moodier and more desolate than "Anesthesia", with some excellent guitar work and a pulsating beat, there is more angst and less hurt in this version of painful reminiscing. What an awesome CD, quite flexible to all my moods, with sound vocals and talented instrumentals. If you are a fan of either rock, industrial, or goth, you will be able to find what you like in this excellent recording. Enjoy!

Good Thursday. What a warm start to the day. Temps are in the 60s his morning with clouds, patchy fog, and a few isolated showers to boot.
As we move through the day, we will stay warm (a high near 70), but the main focus will be the development of rain and thunderstorms this afternoon.
Expect scattered showers to move in ahead of a front this afternoon and this evening. With that we could see a few storms as well. The biggest threat from any storms that pop up would be damaging winds. Small hail is a SLIGHT possibility.
Tonight, the rain showers will become more numerous, and through the day Friday, as the front stalls out over us, rain will train into the area all day long.
We will see the rain continue into Friday night, then taper of heading into Saturday morning.
Saturday will be a bit cooler as behind the front winds will blow from the north at 10-15 mph, keeping highs in the mid 40s.
We will see more rain lifting in overnight Saturday into Sunday. The rain will once again hover over us keeping it wet and rainy all day Sunday and Monday.
Cold air will move in Monday night, and may transition some of the remaining rain showers into some light mixed precipitation early Tuesday morning. Lows Tuesday morning will be in the low to mid 30s, so it shouldn't be a big deal. We will see clear skies with highs only reaching about 40 Tuesday afternoon.
I mentioned cold air next week... Highs will be in the low 40s and lows will drop into the 20s Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Cinque Lee, a 20-year-old Chicago man, has been arrested in the shooting death of Iona's Michael Haynes. Lee was identified by witnesses as the shooter, and had been brought in for questioning Tuesday. He will appear in bond court Thursday.
According to the Chicago Tribune, a 20-year-old man has been taken in for questioning in the shooting death of incoming Iona basketball player Michael Haynes. Haynes' brother was also arrested for threatening several people with a gun on the night of Michael's death. Thankfully he did not shoot anyone that night in retaliation. More updates as we hear them on this.
Yahoo's Dagger blog adds more reaction to the shooting death of Michael Haynes that took place Thursday night. Haynes was recruited out of a junior college event in Las Vegas (the new amateur basketball capital of the world it seems). From coach Tim Cluess in the Yahoo piece: "He was one of those kids you wanted to coach because he was a different personality," Cluess said. "He wanted better in his life, and it wasn't just about basketball. He wanted to be mentored, he wanted someone who was going to care about him and he wanted to be in a family atmosphere."
The Iona athletic department has issued a statement in response to the shooting death of incoming forward Michael Haynes. Haynes was shot dead Thursday night in the continuing violence that plagues the Chicago South Side. Coach Tim Cluess had this to say: "The Iona family is devastated with the news on Michael's passing," he said. "His passion, energy and excitement for his opportunity this year makes this tragedy even more upsetting. Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his family."

Thanks for the suggestions. The White Chicken Chili recipe looked very good. Suggested it to the wife. She said chili for lunch and promptly warmed up some of the left over Hormel. She was very generous. She threw in two hotdogs. The hotdogs were probably left overs.
Wife is looking over my shoulder. It's turkey and dressing for supper.
