ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Boston point guard Rajon Rondo has always been a bit unconventional, both on the court and off. As a player, he consistently posts huge stat lines and eye-popping numbers, despite coming into the League without much a jump shot. And off the court, Rondo doesn't seem to care much about managing his image the way many other athletes do — Rondo just wants to play ball and win games.
Rondo tore his ACL last season, and since then he's been watching games from the bench, occasionally with eye-popping results. He's also used Twitter, sparingly, until a tweet last night that set people guessing…
29,233,380 secs—
Rajon Rondo (@RajonRondo) January 14, 2014
What was Rondo referring to? Well, if you do the math, 29,233,380 seconds works out to about 338 days. On Friday night, the Celtics host the Lakers, and if you count backward from tip time on Friday, 338 days is the length of time to when Rondo suffered his injury. According to ESPN Boston, it's actually the exact amount of time from the actual surgery, which took place at 11:07 AM.

WASHINGTON, DC – The 1st Annual Roger Mason Jr. Ball for a Cause benefiting the NKF Serving the National Capital Area (NKF/NKA) on July 29 at Lucky Strike in Washington, DC attracted more than 300 people and raised $45,000 for the organization. The inaugural event introduced many new supporters to the National Kidney Foundation and its work.
Ball for a Cause guests had the chance to bowl and mingle with current and former athletes including Washington DC native Roger Mason Jr. of the San Antonio Spurs, Etan Thomas and Andray Blatche of the Washington Wizards, former Washington Redskin LaVar Arrington, former NBA star and University of Maryland standout Tony Massenburg, and DC United players Ben Olsen, Marc Burch, and Domenic Mediate. The athletes joined young kidney patients in the fight against kidney disease in the Washington, DC region.
Major supporters of Ball for a Cause include Roger Mason Jr. who made a $15,000 donation, the Washington Wizards, the San Antonio Spurs, Best Buy, UBC, Maureen Gleason Bryant, James Ryan Films, and Team Up World. Best Buy hosted a Wii Lounge, which was popular with young and old alike. WDCW provided transportation for the VIPs on the CW bus, which boasts luxury seating for 30.
Kidney disease is something that hits home for Mason. When Roger was 11, his father Roger Mason Sr. passed away from kidney failure. According to Mason, "It has been a dream of mine to be a part of such a wonderful organization that shares my vision. The National Kidney Foundation has helped many people live a healthier and happy life. I am proud that the event was a success and I look forward to years of supporting the cause."
The Washington, DC area has the highest prevalence of kidney disease in the nation but the National Kidney Foundation is working hard in the community to combat that. Funds from this event will be used to support vital research, patient services, public and physician education, and organ donation programs. Proceeds will also support NKF/NCA's Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), a comprehensive screening and education program targeted at at-risk individuals.
Preston A. Englert, Jr., President & CEO of the NKF Serving the National Capital Area said, "We were thrilled to partner with Roger on this unique fundraiser. His knowledge of the problem in the Washington, DC has helped to raise awareness about kidney disease and its leading causes—diabetes and high blood pressure—and get those most at risk vital information to improve their health."
The mission of the National Kidney Foundation is to prevent kidney and urinary tract diseases, improve the health and well being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increase the availability of all organs for transplantation.

Boy injured at Springfield power stationMay 14,2013Staff Report
SPRINGFIELD -- A 12-year-old Springfield boy was airlifted to Boston on Tuesday afternoon after he was injured at an electrical sub-station on Merrill Street in downtown Springfield.
Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston said the boy was with some friends and climbed the fence at the substation, got onto some equipment and grabbed an electrical line.
The incident caused downtown Springfield and a large portion of the town to immediately lose power.
Dotty Schnure, spokeswoman for Green Mountain Power, said the boy was "conscious and moving" before he was taken to Springfield Hspital.
The fact the boy was still conscious is a good sign, she said. The nature of his injuries was not immediately announced.
Schnure said Green Mountain employees checked the substation and it was still locked and secure at the time of the incident. She said that GMP was also starting its own investigation.
"Our hearts go out to the boy's family and we are wishing for the best outcome," she said.
Exactly how the boy made contact with the electrical wire is unknown, but Schnure said Springfield Police were
talking to the boy's companions to learn what happened.
The boy was first taken to Springfield Hospital, where he was picked up by the DHART helicopter for the airlift to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
The incident happened just after 4 p.m., and the incident knocked out power to more than 2,000 Green Mountain Power customers in Springfield, Chester, Rockingham, Weathersfield, Athens and Grafton.
Schnure said the South Street substation, as it is known, serves a large number of people in the area.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

David Moyes', whose contract was set to expire in June, will leave Everton at the end of this season. The club confirmed his departure in a release on their club website, and indicated that Moyes "met Chairman Bill Kenwright early yesterday evening and confirmed his desire to join Manchester United." Because Moyes is out of contract, Manchester United do not have to approach Everton about appointing them if he is their choice, as has been widely reported.
Moyes has refused to sign a new contract with Everton all season, indicating that he might have been willing to look elsewhere for employment even if the Manchester United job had not opened up. Everton have been in a serious financial bind in recent seasons, with Moyes having less money to spend than the team brought in through player sales.
The Manchester United press office tweeted early on Wednesday morning that Moyes had been appointed as United manager, but promptly deleted it. His confirmation has been expected since early on Wednesday, but United have not announced anything yet.

Pro Football Weekly has confirmed the Foxsports.com report that two potential top-50 draft prospects, Georgia OLB Justin Houston and Iowa DT Christian Ballard, both tested positive for marijuana at the Scouting Combine.
PFW also has learned that Florida OL Maurice Hurt, a later-round prospect, also has tested positive for the drug.
Rumors of Ballard's failure ran rampant last week but could not be confirmed until late Monday night. Several league sources told PFW recently that Ballard informed teams during the interview process that he suspected he might test positive.
Houston has been linked to several teams in the back end of the first round, including heavily to the Packers at No. 32.
PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki believes both players' draft stock could be hurt and that there is a chance either one could slide to Round Three. NFL decision makers' concerns about habitual marijuana usage and testing positive again in the future might prevent teams from taking them in the first two rounds.
Hurt might not be drafted now, although it wasn't a guarantee he would before the positive test.

The zombie apocalypse comes to West Palm Saturday: You've been warned
- 10:07 am Friday, September 27th, 2013 by Leslie Gray Streeter
First, there was "Zombie Island: The Movie."
Then there was "Escape From Zombie Island."
Now, there's "2057: Return To Zombie Island," even though it's hard to fathom why one would choose to return to an island presumably filled with zombies once they had escaped.
It sounds wild, over-the-top and, again, zombie-filled.
And writer/director Gary Davis couldn't be prouder.
"Yes, the story continues," confirms Davis, whose locally filmed and cast 30-minute pilot will be shown at 4 p.m. Saturday on The CW West Palm WTVX. Davis and the zombies have had a long relationship with WTVX, which has been showing his work, including "Escape From Zombie Island," during the very early hours of Sunday morning, between midnight and 4 a.m., just like a classic monster show.

Playing at home in front of a national TV audience should be reason for celebration. But for the Philadelphia Union, it was more of a nightmare. Not only did they suffer their first defeat at PPL Park, 2-1 to the Colorado Rapids, but they also revealed after the game that leading scorer Carlos Ruiz would be leaving the team.
The Union had the better of play from the opening whistle, with Keon Daniel hitting a ball off the crossbar in the 26th minute. But it was the Rapids who struck first when Pablo Mastroeni flashed some of the skill we have seen all too rarely of late, turning around Union center back Carlos Valdes and striking a perfectly placed ball into the far upper corner.
Just before halftime, the Rapids extended their lead to 2-0 when Omar Cummings led Sanna Nyassi with a perfect through ball. Nyassi was able to get behind his mark and then beat Union goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon with a quick shot. It was Nyassi's fourth goal in his past three games and gave Cummings his team-leading six assist.
The Union continued to apply heavy pressure throughout the second half, but couldn't break through until Roger Torres scored a beautiful goal in the 3rd minute of stoppage time. He was able to beat two defenders inside the penalty area, cutting back behind Marvell Wynne and then unleashing a perfectly placed left-footed shot.
After scoring, Torres put his hand to his head in a similar way that Ruiz does when he scores goals. It seemed to be homage to Ruiz, who it was learned after the game that he was leaving the team. Union coach Peter Nowak seemed to indicate that fan and media criticism of Ruiz was at least partially to blame.

Ban Autos Emitting Poison
Bangalore was a great city to live in, with its weather, greenery and traffic. Now, those conditions are under extreme threat, and one of the primary causes is 2 - stroke auto rickshaws which emit extremely nauseous and poisonous fumes. They make driving a 2 wheeler a nightmare. For normal people and especially kids, breathing the air has become a necessary evil. Add to this the callous attitude of the drivers and more importantly thr Smoke Control Board, and the situation is dangerously escalating. Request all who feel similarly to sign the petition, which will be taken to the Smoke Control Board, Bangalore.

Pay It Forward Person Of The Week for the Week of July 2
Brothers Jovan and Marquis Turley are just over 1 year apart in age, having grown up together on Grand Rapids' Southeast Side.
They played basketball together while attending Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School, and were both awarded scholarships to play basketball while in College at Dominican University in Chicago.
This June the brothers also accepted their College Diploma's together.
The Turley brothers recently posted a Youtube video as a "thank you" to the people who have helped them succeed. A team of Mentors stepped in to help the boys after meeting them through an inner city basketball league.
At the time the boys were ages 8 and 10, they were being raised by their Aunt Barbara, living with five other children in a small home and with little means.
"If those people didn't exist in my life today I would have never graduated from college, I would never have attended Grand Rapids Catholic Central," Jovan Turley told FOX 17 News.
For Jovan it was the Cunningham Family from East Grand Rapids that became like a second family. Dr. Bill Cunningham and his wife invited Jovan over on the weekends, and took him along for Basketball Tournaments. Their son Casey and Jovan are the same age, and remain best friends today.
"Y'know God brought him and Marquis into our lives and for that we'll always be thankful," said Dr. Bill Cunningham.
A few years back Aunt Barbara died. Now when Jovan returns to Grand Rapids to visit, help coach basketball teams, or mentor other kids he stays with his mentor family.
This month the Cunninghams attended Marquis' and Jovan's Graduation Ceremony.
"Jovan's our sixth child," said Dr. Cunningham. "It's just another member of the family and when he called me about needing some additional money for a graduation present I said the best graduation present you can give me is graduation."
"There were always dreams," said Turley. "But when you come from where I come from there's always that doubt in the back of your mind that you might not make it. But when you have someone like Mr.Cunningham pushing you every day and giving you the willpower to succeed in life then you let go of that doubt and you know that the sky's the limit."
Jovan majored in Management. He is currently looking for his first job, and tells FOX 17 he hopes to follow Dr. Cunningham's example and mentor Grand Rapids youth.
FOX 17 will feature Marquis Turley's story in the coming weeks.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Kylie dazzles Charles and Camilla
10:56am Thursday 25th October 2012 in Entertainment News By Simon Patchett
Kylie Minogue dazzled the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall when she performed a surprise concert by royal appointment.
The pop princess sang three pared-down songs for Charles and Camilla at a St James's Palace reception to mark their Diamond Jubilee tour, which begins next month.
Ahead of the performance, Kylie tweeted "One is on one's way to St James's Palace" and posted a picture of a soldier on guard duty outside the historic building in central London.
Famous faces and dignitaries from the three nations the royal couple will be visiting - Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand - were invited to the event.
Among the 200 guests were comic Barry Humphries, soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, broadcaster and musician Rolf Harris, and former New Zealand rugby captain Sean Fitzpatrick.
But all eyes were on Kylie, who wore a stylish black evening dress and was joined on stage by two backing singers, a guitarist and a pianist.
She is celebrating 25 years as a singer and has released her 12th album in celebration - The Abbey Road Sessions. It features 16 songs from her career, with new orchestral arrangements, recorded in the famous Abbey Road studios where the Beatles created their albums.
Before singing the Locomotion, she told her audience: "The big question is, are you ready to swing your hips now?"
She then told Charles and Camilla: "Bon voyage, have a fantastic trip."

Back in the '60s when hormones dictated our every move, life could get pretty complicated. Feelings were so strong, and urges took over everything. In junior high, we now had to struggle with pimples, budding breasts, vocal changes and dealing with our budding sexuality.
But, we were also embraced in the fold of Walter Reed Junior High, and thankfully, some teachers made this journey a little easier with their wise ways, patience, encouragement, and love of teaching.
Here are some of my favorites:
Mr. Maley-English
This guy was such a card. Those of you who had him for English probably remember his famed turtle races, his mambo style jig for learning our helping verbs that went like this:
"Is be been am are,
Was were has have had,
Do does did,
May can might,
Could must shall will,
Would should!"
His clothes were rumpled, and sometimes he fingered one of his false teeth, but Mr. Maley was so much fun, and his animated lessons truly took the sting out of learning.
Mr. Mack-Chemistry
Although this guy had the personality of a tortoise, his chemistry class was a whirlwind of fun. I remember learning about test tubes, beakers, and the purpose of a centrifuge. Remember those random explosions that would take place when various elements were combined with one another? Even when fires broke out, Mr. Mack was always calm, despite the hysterics that erupted from these mishaps.
Mrs. Bradley-Biology
Mrs. Bradley looked like she had escaped from a convent, but she was very knowledgeable when it came to the finesse of anatomic dissection. She never winced when she'd dispense those frogs and eyeballs for us to dissect, despite the screams from some of the students, and the occasional hurling.
Mrs. Harrop-Physical Education
Back in junior high, some of the P.E. teachers really enjoyed looking over the stall to make sure you took a shower. Yuck. Mrs. Harrop wasn't like that. She just stuck to the basics of helping us enjoy PE, and all the benefits of physical activity. She didn't have that stiff military persona, and if we were really on the rag, she didn't make us shower.
Mrs. Thedford-Math
This lady was a delight, with her gorgeous silver hair pulled back into a tight bun. For those of us who found math to be an engaging topic, she was a dream.
Mr. Galindo-Spanish
This handsome man was a real charmer, and what a great head of hair. I'm sure many female teens were in his radar, although I never heard any stories about impropriety. I do remember learning several basic Spanish phrases that went something like this:
"Ojala que te mejores pronto." (I hope you get better soon)
"Aqui esta la sal, y tambien la pimienta." (Here's the salt, and also the pepper.)
A few years later, I learned some other Spanish phrases, but they wouldn't be appropriate for this column.
What teachers do you remember and what classes did you like?

pantyline comments:A VPL are very sexy, and appealing. Don't be ashamed, If you don't want a panty line wear pantyhose. VPL's adds to the excitement.
pantyline comments: i first fell in love wit pantylines back in high school to tell u the truth, and i think this is a great web site, just wish it was free, lil.
pantyline comments: i love pantylines!
pantyline comments: love them it's the thing to start my day.
pantyline comments: i love pantylines very much...i have 250 pantyline pics and 30 pantyline-videos
pantyline comments: Sorry, but panty lines are awful. I don't find them attractive at all; either on myself or other women. Either wear a thong or go commando.
pantyline comments: I am not a big fan of pantylines. And there's nothing more unattractive than a lady picking a wedgie out of her arse!
pantyline comments: I can deal with a woman's panty line a lot easier than I can, seeing her dress or a piece of toilet paper being tucked into them!
pantyline comments: VPL don't bother me at all. Grew up before there were thongs, it was an every day thing, seeing a cute girl's butt, pantylines were just, well, the frame to the picture.
pantyline comments: yea right ...to who..bet most guys will say that panty lines are sexy as hell..that is if they are not granny panties ...I drool over panty lines ...just depends who you are dressing for ...i see the advantage of no panty lines when wearing slacks in the office ..dont want the guys tripping over their tongues ....the only time going commando is sexy is when you wear a skirt ...you gals dont think cameltoe is sexy ha get real ...seeing the outline of a womans vagina through her pants ...will make me want to see more every time...hell I had rather see a woman in tight slacks with the lines of bikini panties showing through than see the same woman in her birthday suit
pantyline comments: I love seeing pantylines - I look constantly for them. I'm a butt-man and love trying to figure our what a woman is wearing. Its all about seeing.knowing something that is supposed to be secret, so its a little extra thrill.
pantyline comments: Pantylines and tight white pants or tight shorts
To me there is nothing sexier than seeing a woman's panty lines through her clothes. To catch a glimpse of the distinct crotch panel across her butt
pantyline comments:
visible pantyline comments: dam i love pantylines
visible pantyline comments: the best site!! i like it
visible pantyline comments: cool
visible pantyline comments: I like that Ass!
I know I smile a wide grin when you can see the pattern of a woman's panties under her tight white pants. I've been to many places and seen several women and men look admiringly at a cute female tush in snug pants with definite pantylines
Women trust me most men appreciate it, stop hiding the pantylines!!!!
visible pantyline comments: love mature woman in lycra sports
pantyline comments: i truly love pantylines and i love the idea of the type of service that you guys are providing. however, i always deal in cash and don't have a credit card. how can i arrange to send you guys some bucks so that i can become a member. is that possible or am i out of luck. pls lemme know. thanks for your time.
Trying to hide from panty lines with a Thong is a joke. Your panty line might be missing but it more obvious what you are wearing!! The Thong allows your trousers to ride up your crack to a point that is not the least bit attractive. And when it rides up above your trousers, well its crude, whats sexy about that? If you want to show off your crack do it with sexy panties, not with a rope up your crack.
TextField1:I do love pantylines.
Women, wearing a thong doesn't really hide anything anyway. And what is
the big deal if you have pantylines? 98% of all women wear panties.
Guess what,98% of guys wear underware. Remember women wear panties and
guys wear underware. Why don't we hear guys bitching about underware
lines? Women, if you wear the right size, no matter the style of
panties, you can have a very attractive bottom. When you are a size 7
and wear size 5 panties, thats the issue of most men or women. Why don't
we hear as much about women and their BRA-lines? They are much more
noticible, obvious, straps are very noticible when women wear tank tops
and different colored bras or a tube top and a regular bra. And the way
guys look at womens boobs, you would think that would be such a hot
topic. BRALINES instead of pantylines. Women, you are your worst
enemies. You all look at another woman or even a friend and tell us guys
to, "look at her ass, look at her pantylines. They! are
unbelieveable. You all gripe about other women. We just shut up and look
quitely and smile. You damn sure never hear a guy tell another guy to
look at another guys ass and bitch about his underware lines. We don't
care about such pety things in life.

Seniors lead way for Beekmantown girls' hockey
CHAZY — The Beekmantown Eagles girls' hockey team honored their seniors before Saturday's game against Ithaca.
Then, the seniors played their last home game to near perfection.
Alexis Guay, Amanda Peterson and Emily Raville all found the back of the net in their final home game of the season, while Ashley Terry kept the Little Red at bay defensively in Beekmantown's 6-1 victory over Ithaca in girls' high school hockey.
"It was senior night and this game was very special for the seniors," Eagles coach Ray Guay said. "The seniors, in particular, had a really good night. The line of Raville, Guay and Peterson was outstanding.
"As a team as a whole we put together a full game. I got to play all four lines in the third period and we made things work. The girls had a lot of fun."
After a scoreless first period, Beekmantown (11-0-1) erupted for five goals in the second.
Lauran O'Connor got the period started off strong just 50 seconds in with a goal on an assist from Kallie Villemaire. Raville made it 2-0 with Peterson and Guay collecting the assists. Peterson then had her turn on assists from Guay and Raville, making it 3-0.
Brielle Carnright and Clara Giroux each tallied with under two minutes remaining to give the eagles a 5-0 lead after the second. O'Connor, Villemaire and Katie Matott each finished with assists in the period.
The Little Red were able to get on the board at the 6:52 mark of the third period when Madison Gneo snuck one past Alyssa Pelkey.
Raville and Peterson then got Guay her goal as all three players on the line were able to collect goals.
Beekmantown had six different players score in the game.
Kayleigh Bell made seven saves, while Pelkey turned away six to collect the victory. Devin Bayloo stopped 46 shots in a losing effort for Ithaca.
"We had two good practices this week and all of that hard work really paid off," Guay said. "The girls are playing well and there is nothing more as a coach you can ask for. We know that every team is looking to beat us and we just have to step up to the challenge.
"Hopefully we can continue to keep rolling."
The Eagles will travel to St. Lawrence on Monday for a 7 p.m. contest.
Beekmantown 6, Ithaca 1
Ithaca 0 0 1 — 1
Beekmantown 0 5 1 — 6
Second period - 1, B, O'Connor (Villemaire), 0:50. 2, B, Raville (Peterson, Guay), 6:17. 3, B, Peterson (Guay, Raville), 7:00. 4, B, Carnright (O'Connor), 13:09. 5, B, Giroux (Matott, Villemaire), 13:33.

The search for a special-needs teenager ended just after 9:00 Sunday evening. The teen, who was missing since Friday, was found safe in a youth shelter Sunday night but instead of going home to her mother, she is now in the custody of Child Protective Services.
Phoenix police joined several other agencies Sunday, searching an area in the 800 block of East Bell Road for a missing endangered teen.
Deanna Lynn Blanco, 16, was last seen Friday at 8:30 p.m. in the area of 700 E. Bell Rd. in Phoenix.
Her disappearance was concerning to authorities because Blanco suffers Asperger and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and also has difficulty with her vision and hearing.
According to Phoenix Police, Blanco was found early Saturday morning by a driver. She was reportedly crying on the side of the road. Police say that driver took her to a local youth shelter which housed her overnight.
On Sunday, the youth shelter contacted Child Protective Services, police said.
Later in the evening, Child Protective Services stopped by the girl's home in North Phoenix. Police say that's when all agencies involved in the search became aware that Deanna was alive and well.
Phoenix Police say Deanna is in Child Protective Service custody and has not been returned home to her mother. It is unclear why Deanna is not being returned to her mother.

Cholecystitis (ko-luh-sis-TIE-tis) is inflammation of the gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into your small intestine.
In most cases, cholecystitis is caused by gallstones that block the tube leading out of your gallbladder. This results in a buildup of bile that can cause inflammation. Other causes of cholecystitis include bile duct problems and tumors.
If left untreated, cholecystitis can lead to serious complications, such as a gallbladder that becomes enlarged or that ruptures. Once diagnosed, cholecystitis requires a hospital stay. Treatment for cholecystitis often eventually includes gallbladder removal.
Signs and symptoms of cholecystitis may include:
Cholecystitis signs and symptoms usually occur after a meal, particularly a large meal or a meal high in fat.
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. Abdominal pain that is so severe you can't sit still or find a comfortable position is an emergency, so have someone drive you to the emergency room in this situation.
Cholecystitis occurs when your gallbladder becomes inflamed. Gallbladder inflammation can be caused by:
The following factors may increase your risk of cholecystitis:
Cholecystitis can lead to a number of serious complications, including:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you have cholecystitis, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the digestive system (gastroenterologist), or your doctor may refer you directly to the hospital.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For cholecystitis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose cholecystitis include:
Treatment for cholecystitis usually involves a stay in the hospital to stabilize the inflammation in your gallbladder. Once your cholecystitis is under control, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove your gallbladder, since cholecystitis frequently recurs. In emergency situations, such as a ruptured gallbladder, surgery may be required right away.
If you're diagnosed with cholecystitis, you'll be admitted to the hospital. Your doctor will work to control your signs and symptoms and to control the inflammation in your gallbladder. Treatments may include:
Your symptoms may begin to go away in a day or two after being hospitalized.
Surgery to remove the gallbladder
Because cholecystitis frequently recurs, most people diagnosed with cholecystitis eventually require gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy). When you're feeling better, your doctor may recommend cholecystectomy. When you'll undergo surgery depends on your situation. If you have complications of cholecystitis, such as gangrene or perforation of your gallbladder, you may need to have surgery immediately.
Cholecystectomy is most commonly performed using a tiny video camera mounted at the end of a flexible tube. This allows your surgeon to see inside your abdomen and to use special surgical tools to remove the gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The tools and camera are inserted through four incisions in your abdomen, and the surgeon watches a monitor while guiding the tools during surgery.
Once your gallbladder is removed, bile flows directly from your liver into your small intestine, rather than being stored in your gallbladder. You don't need your gallbladder to live, and gallbladder removal doesn't affect your ability to digest food, although it can cause diarrhea that is usually temporary.
Because most cases of cholecystitis are caused by gallstones, you can reduce your risk of cholecystitis by taking the following steps to prevent gallstones:

Officially, Salvador Sánchez Cerén, the candidate of the FMLN, won the recent presidential election in El Salvador. So declared the country's Electoral Supreme Court in the face of challenges from the ARENA party. The difference between the two parties barely exceeded 6,000 votes. An incredible minutia, when almost 3 million people voted. ARENA asked for a recount of all the ballots, but a recount was not granted. The law was not on its side. Norman Quijano had to settle for a moral victory.
Nobody expected a result of that nature, especially because the FMLN beat him by more than 10 percentage points in the first round. It seems that today's cruel slaughterhouse in Venezuela reminded the Salvadorans that revolutionary radicalism can end up in a bloodbath.
Now, Sánchez Cerén, communist and former guerrilla, faces a bitter dilemma. Beginning in June, when he officially assumes the presidency, will he devote himself to creating the revolution that his little Marxist-Leninist heart asks him to do? Or will he accept that his is a very poor country, dollar-dependent, crushed by the street gangs, divided into hostile halves and whose main source of income is the emigrants' remittances, a panorama that advises against adding a dangerous political friction that might again unleash violence?
He would be the fourth of Fidel Castro's children placed in that quandary. The other three opted to embrace reality and forswear utopia.
Uruguayan José (Pepe) Mujica is one of them. The Cuban revolution sucked his brain, the way the books about chivalry affected Don Quixote, and when he was young he ended up embarked on the bloody adventure of the Tupamaros, major culprits of the collapse of Uruguay's exemplary democracy.
Mujica, who participated in violent deeds, spent 15 years in prison. When the military dictatorship ended, he integrated into the nation's political life and placed himself under the authority of the Constitution.
Now installed in the presidency, he has respected the rules of the game and has managed the economy in an orthodox fashion. That is why Uruguay, in 2013, was the Latin American nation that received the largest foreign investment per capita. Mujica had learned his lesson. Fidel Castro and his tyranny were relics from a remote past.
Another is Brazilian Dilma Rousseff. She was a Communist with links to the Revolutionary Armed Vanguard, a Marxist-Leninist group that robbed banks, killed people and hijacked planes.
She was the daughter of a Bulgarian communist, Pedro Rousseff, who had emigrated to Brazil. When she was 23, the Brazilian military, which kidnapped and murdered their enemies, imprisoned Dilma and probably tortured her. She left prison three years later, finished her studies in economics and eventually joined Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's Workers Party.
Once elected president, she also chose to forget her Castro-Guevaraist fantasies of youth. The Brazilian reality, in a post-Communist world, did not allow her to bet on the revolutionary roulette. She did not stray far from the model left by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, later continued by Lula da Silva.
Another of Fidel Castro's "realistic" (or renegade) children is the Nicaraguan Daniel Ortega. Like Mujica and Rousseff, Ortega was part of the Sandinista violence and spent seven years in prison for robbing a bank during Somoza's dictatorship.
In the 1980s, after the triumph of the insurrection, he presided over Nicaragua for the first time and learned the skills as he went along. It was the costliest course in governance in history. He destroyed the country, but perhaps fully learned what not to do.
When he returned to power in 2007 (thanks to the astounding clumsiness of the liberal opposition), Ortega knew that 66 percent of the population was against any revolutionary project. He didn't mind. More pragmatic than fanatic, he no longer intended to be like Fidel Castro. He wanted to be like Somoza, to perpetuate himself in power but without breaking with the business sector or the United States, while meticulously pilfering from Chávez and shouting anti-imperialist slogans.
Will Sánchez Cerén be the Castroism's fourth renegade child? Will he get lost in transit while chasing an impossible revolution or will he realize that that's the road to mayhem and death, as is happening in Nicolás Maduro's Venezuela? We'll find out shortly.

$550,000,000 it's a stunning amount of money and it's what Wednesday night's record Powerball jackpot is up to.
Can you even imagine having that much money?
A lot of south Georgians are dreaming about it and hoping they match the numbers being picked right now.
The atmosphere was optimistic in one Albany Convenience store where so many tickets were sold at this particular location that they ran out of playing slips for a while all because players want a piece of the 550 million dollar pie.
Kendra Hunter was one of many people waiting in line this evening at Woodalls on Slappey Blvd. to get her hands on Powerball tickets.
The winning ticket will make someone more than a half a billion dollars richer.
"I hope these are to winning tickets, Lord, to freedom. Thank you Jesus," said Virginia Sherman.
We watched as many came in shelling out cash, hoping to be the winner of tonight's jackpot.
"I'd just like to win part of it, I wouldn't want all of it," said George Harper
George Harper says he spent more than 40 bucks for tickets Wednesday night but if he wins he'll look out for future generations.
"My Grandbaby wants to go to art school and that's $40,000 a year," said Harper.
"If I win I'm going to buy a brand new home and everybody in my household a brand new car," said Sherman.
The real winner in tonight's madness is students here in Georgia and this hits close to home for Hunter because she is a school teacher and that's why she played Wednesday night.
"The money goes to the Georgia lottery which helps college students and students in the state of Georgia," said Hunter.
With the odds being at 1 and 175,000,000 these players still like their chances to win.
"If you don't play, you aren't going to win," said Harper.
He and many others hope they hold the winning ticket.
You are more likely to be eaten by a shark or win an Oscar than hit Wednesday's jackpot but if you do get the right numbers, make sure to sign the back of that ticket to claim whatever prize you win.
And those winning numbers are 5, 23, 16, 22, 29 and the powerball is 6.

TRION, GA (Times Free Press) -- The death of an inmate on Christmas night at Hays State Prison in Trion, GA, was the second in a week.
State investigators say they don't believe the deaths are related,
though both died in the same cellblock at the maximum security prison.
"They weren't tied any way together," Georgia Bureau of
Investigations Agent James Harris said. "That was the first thing on our

convictions, was killed in a prison cell late Christmas night after

Meet Ryan Chalmers. He's rolling from Los Angeles to New York, hoping to inspire and raise money with every push.
"Right when we got into Kansas City it's been phenomenal - people honking, waving, on the sidewalk cheering you on. It's been encouraging to show the awareness we're building is happening," Chalmers, with Push Across America, said.
When he finishes, it will be the first time a racing wheelchair has ever been pushed all the way across the country.
"It's going really well so far. We're on schedule. I've enjoyed the flatlands the last week and a half. We got through the Rockies and that took a little while. It's nice. We had a couple of climbs getting into the city, which were a little rough, but it's been a good day," Chalmers said.
Chalmers was born with spina bifida and has never had complete use of his legs. He's an Olympic para-athlete, but said that never would have been possible without the work of an organization called Stay Focused.
"It brings teens and young adults to the Cayman Islands to get them certified in scuba diving. It's made such a difference in my life," he said.
Chalmers has been with the nonprofit since 2005.
The young man said the freedom he felt under water made him believe anything was possible, including the 4,000-mile ride he's currently on.
"The message we try to get out there is never give up. Find your passion, set goals, stay focused and achieve," Chalmers said. "One (goal) is to raise awareness for all people with disabilities. Really show people, able-bodied or not, if you're passionate and set goals, you can achieve anything."
As he races over mountains and plains - through the wind, rain and heat - that message keeps him going.
"No matter what this is going to hurt. You can't really train your body for six to eight hours in a racing chair. It's going to hurt, but a lot of it is going to be mental. You've just got to push through those days where your legs and arms are hurting. But we've had great support along the way, so it's been very doable," Chalmers said.
Chalmers' goal is to complete his trip by mid-June. You can track his progress and donate to Stay Focused by going to pushacrossamerica.org.

We do Buddy Check 12 reports every month on Heartland News to remind women about the importance of early breast cancer detection and to provide support and information for those battling with cancer..
For the next several months, Judy Settle is going to help us do that.
Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, and she's agreed to let us go along with her on her journey to beat the disease.
First, let's meet Judy.
"I have 2 children, my daughter is 11, my son is 14. He's a thriving student at Notre Dame and my daughter has special needs. She has Down's Syndrome so I home school her," Settle said.
"My brother lives with us because he also has cancer and has been going through treatment," she added.
The 48 year old, Jackson mom is a busy woman. She's admittedly got a lot on her plate and earlier this year, breast cancer was piled on top of that. She first found a lump while getting out of the shower in January.
"All of a sudden I stopped and I was just like, that doesn't belong there," she said. "Then I started feeling more closely and the fear gripped me but I put it aside," she added.
At first she thought it was a fibroid cyst, something common in her family. That along with a little superstition lead her to wait until February to call her doctor. Judy said bad news had always come in January for her family for some time, so there was no way she was calling in January.
So a couple of weeks later in February, she made the call.
Her doctor ordered a round of tests.
"And then I waited, that was the hard part," Judy said.
On February 16, Judy tested positive for Invasive Ductile Carcinoma.
She remembers getting the news.
"I hung up the phone and I sat there and took a few deep breaths and thought I was going to lose my mind."
Her first calls to her best friend, then her priest. Like most moms, her biggest concern, her children.
Oh my God, how do I tell my son," she wondered. "With my brothers news being bad I thought, I'm going to be dead in a few years or weeks of months."
She says her priests words helped her move forward.
"First you take a deep breath, you find out exactly what your prognosis is and you present it to him in a calm uplifting way and he won't be terrified," those were the words she said he told her.
And that's what she did. She says she and her son were even able to share a few laughs when she broke the news.
A lot of women can relate to Judy's story. A busy mom, a caretaker, the family cornerstone.
But she says she's not sharing it so you'll feel sorry for her, she's sharing it so you or someone you love can maybe feel a little support and comfort on their own journey through breast cancer.
And it doesn't take long to realize, Judy's strength is inspiring.
"I just have the sink or swim attitude. I've had it all my life," she said.
She says her daughter helped teach her that.
"You don't have options in life when it comes to something like that. You either survive or you don't and I don't want to be one of those that sits in the corner and shrinks and goes away," she said. "I want the world to hear me… laughs…I roar," she said added laughing.
And so Judy is roaring her way into treatment. She's already had a mastectomy, and has begun the process for reconstructive surgery.
And we were there on April 11th as she started the first of 16 weeks of chemotherapy. She will also undergo radiation. She'll receive all her treatment at the Southeast Cancer Center in Cape Girardeau.
She's says already there have been hard times.
"I kept it together in front of everybody, when we went to bed that night, the tears just flowed," she remembered of getting the news.
But with the support of her husband of 20 years and her strong sense of humor, "We have had laughs at every turn," she said.
She hopes her battle can help someone along their own."
"Cancer isn't a good thing but it doesn't have to be that scary cause there's a lot of people willing to give you emotional support. It's something we go through, it's just a bump in the road."
To help others through their bumps in the road, Judy will share the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to battling breast cancer.
She does have a good prognosis and we are honored to go along with her as she beats this disease.

FRUITLAND, Md. - The Salisbury Wicomico Art Council (SWAC) went Broadway for it's annual fundraiser Saturday Night.WMDT's Alyana Gomez was there to host the evening, which included dinner, dancing and an auction, to raise money in support of the organization.
Funds will cover a large portion of the nonprofit's operating budget, which helps local, state and national arts advocacy and arts education.
"People don't realize the arts are an economic and academic engine so when children take art in school, their test scores are higher, truancy is down," said Therese Hamilton, Executive Director of SWAC. "You don't see a kid with a tuba on their hip ditching school."
It was one of two major fundraisers for SWAC, but the organization still needs your help. To learn more visit their website: www.getSWAC.org.

DURBAN, South Africa (AP) -- South Africa has been boosted by the return to training of striker Lehlohonolo Majoro ahead of Saturday's African Cup of Nations quarterfinal against Mali.
However, defender Anele Ngcongca has been ruled out of the last-eight game in Durban after being suspended for two yellow cards.
The team says Majoro has recovered from a cut to his left shin in the Group A win over Angola that needed stitches and ruled him out against Morocco. He will train by himself until Thursday.
Coach Gordon Igesund also shrugged off the unavailability of Belgian-based right back Ngconcga, saying he was close to picking Siboniso Gaxa on the right of defense for the quarterfinal game anyway.
Igesund says "everything happens for a reason ... I think things were meant to happen this way."

Politico: Dodd To Stay At Banking
by Nathan Empsall, Tue Sep 08, 2009 at 05:29:33 PM EDT
Big scoop from Politico:
Sen. Chris Dodd is expected to remain chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, two Senate insiders told POLITICO.
Dodd is expected to make the announcement Wednesday, according to sources in Connecticut and Washington.
A decision to stay at the banking panel rather than take the gavel at the Senate would be a surprise after widespread speculation that the embattled Dodd would prefer to take the top spot at the Health, Education, Pensions and Labor committee left vacant by the late Ted Kennedy. But staying at Banking would allow Dodd to be the lead player on a major overhaul of financial regulations later this fall. With Dodd staying on Banking, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), would be next in line to take the Health committee chairmanship and guide that panel through the final negotiations on health care.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, given Dodd's friendship with Kennedy and his need for a poll-bolstering move, but it also seems like good news to me. Harkin's not a bad guy to have in charge of the labor committee; I'm caring less and less about Senate health care posturing in the hopes that the House takes the lead; and as iffy as Dodd may be at Banking, he's probably a better choice than the more conservative Tim Johnson (D-SD) would be. If Harkin does take the position, the embattled Blanche Lincoln will likely take over his role as Chair, a move that could help us keep her Arkansas seat in Democratic (if not progressive) hands.

In Sweden, the Interfaith Climate Summit has issued forth with the The Uppsala Interfaith Climate Manifesto, a perfectly ordinary amalgam of religious sentiment and environmental alarmism typical of ecumenical groups. Which is to say that there's precious little political, economic or scientific insight in the broadside from Uppsala. Of course, there's no indication from the summit's participants that the causes and cures proposed for global warming may be controversial, especially in the scientific community. Yet, what sets the Hope for the Future! manifesto apart from total banality, and makes it interesting, is its unmistakably coercive tone about what both developed and developing countries "must" do about climate change. Apparently, the "global village" ethic of environmental activists does not apply when demands are made of the powers that be. The manifesto was signed by Fr. John Chryssavgis, representing the Ecumenical Patriarch, and Fr. Leonid Kishkovsky, director of … [Read more...]

It's not unusual for Americans to threaten to move to Canada when their candidate loses. But this year, the presidential election has sparked a new movement. Americans are filing petitions seeking to secede from the union and form new governments.While some may think it's stupid, hundreds of thousands aren't so quick to mock the movement."I think what people are really saying is they want a smaller and less intrusive federal government," said Republican strategist Ted Delisi. People in more than 30 states, including Georgia, have filed petitions asking the Obama administration to allow a state to withdraw from the United States and create its own government.The documents have been filed on a section of Whitehouse.gov called "We the People."As of Tuesday night, Texas has the most support with more than 23,000 signatures.Once any petition reaches 25,000 signatures in 30 days' time, it mandates a response from the Obama But a response doesn't necessarily mean change."It's not in the President's power under the Constitution to let a state secede. In fact, it's not clear whether anyone, even Congress, could let a state secede. It might, in fact, take a constitutional amendment," said Bill Funk, a law professor at Lewis & Clark.At last check, the petition filed by Georgians had nearly 24,000 signatures.

At the July 9 meeting, Mayor Drew Gilbert recommended replacing Guin and prosecutor Sam Sullivan with Benjamin Goldman of Hand Arendall LLC in Birmingham.
Guin, who has represented Cordova for 18 years, said he learned the council was considering making a change after reading the newspaper account of the meeting.
"When I read that, I was concerned that there was a problem. The mayor assures me there is not, that y'all are just simply exploring options," Guin said.
Guin said he asked for the opportunity to speak to council members, most of whom took office for the first time in November, so they could get to know him better.
Guin cited his institutional memory as an advantage to the city.
"If we start talking about mining, for instance, I can tell you all the problems we've had, the court cases. Those are things I just know off the top of my head from a long time of representing the city," Guin said.
He emphasized the point later in the presentation with a reference to the current multi-million dollar sewer project funded largely through the United States Department of Agriculture.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management filed suit against the city in November 2005 after several illegal discharges were emitted from the wastewater treatment plant.
Guin said the city incurred few legal fees over the eight years that he represented them on that case.
"Our philosophy was to drag this thing out so we could get the money to put it in place. That's what we did. It didn't have to be litigated. You didn't get charged a penalty for over eight years of work. You came out great on this," Guin said.
Guin said the 16 years that he served in the Alabama House of Representatives also benefits the city because his various committee assignment provided him with a thorough knowledge of the state code.
"Most of these ordinances and things that you deal with, I had some direct hand in writing. So when we talk about implementing those things, there's not a lot of it that I have to research. I know it because I dealt with it in its inception. That just saves you money," Guin said.
Guin added that he views his work with municipalities as community service and as a result charges them approximately half of his normal rate.
Guin said his fee for Cordova of $125 per hour has remained steady over the years and does not reflect some services for which he does not charge, adding that he did not bill the city for working on the police department's policies and procedures manual on his recent vacation.
Guin said Gilbert had expressed a concern about the length of time it takes for him to review the city's paperwork.
Guin explained that he had an agreement with previous mayors to work at his own pace so the city would receive several small legal bills over the course of several months instead of one large bill.
"I can do it as fast as you want. If there's a priority, let me know," Guin said.
Guin also addressed Gilbert's desire for a city attorney who would also serve as prosecutor.
Guin said he turned down previous offers in other cities because his schedule as a legislator would not allow him to effectively serve as prosecutor. However, he said he would be willing to do so now.
No motion related to the position of city attorney was made at Tuesday's meeting.

A common-law marriage is one that involves two people living together as though married, holding themselves out as spouses, without participation in a formal wedding ceremony.
Some states, such as Colorado, Alabama, Texas and Pennsylvania, recognize common-law marriage. Minnesota does not.
Common-law marriage was abolished in Minnesota in 1941.
However, Minnesota does recognize common-law marriages entered outside the State of Minnesota.
In other words, if you have legally established a common-law marriage elsewhere, and have moved to Minnesota, then your marital relationship is recognized under Minnesota law. Courts will give "full faith and credit" to the marital relationship.
If you live in the State of Minnesota, and are cohabitating with a domestic partner, it is highly recommended that you sign a cohabitation agreement. As cohabitants, you are better protected if you do so.
Such agreements address the division of property in the event that your relationship fails. Otherwise, the Court will typically allocate property in direct proportion to the litigants' financial contribution.
If you have a question concerning cohabitation agreements, or wonder whether your common law marriage is legally recognizable under Minnesota law, we're here to help.
Call (763) 323-6555 to speak with one of our experienced family law attorneys free of charge.
