The NFL has some skeletons in its medical closet, which could be exposed if the recent painkiller lawsuit goes to trial. But there are a few things bothersome about the case. Those issues, plus answering readers' mailbag questions
If I were an NFL attorney, I'd be concerned with former 49ers center Jeremy Newberry's claims about routinely getting shot up with the painkiller Toradol—and not being told, according to Newberry, that he risked kidney failure by taking the drug. Newberry has lost much of his kidney function now, and he claims it's because he took painkillers that were prescribed indiscriminately by team physicians, without regard to what they meant to his long-term health.
That's a sordid and damaging case, if true and if it can be proven in court. It's the kind of case the NFL cannot explain away, and there should be some nervous physicians in San Francisco, Oakland and San Diego, where Newberry (pictured above) played from 1998 to 2008.
The other part of the case that should concern the league is the purported systemic use, years ago, of cocktailing drugs to make their effects different than what their individual intentions were meant to be. To mix Toradol with even a minor pain-relief medication like Aleve is dangerous, and if it can be proven players were advised to do this and risk major organ failure … well, that's a gigantic lawsuit.
I am bothered by a few things in this lawsuit, filed last week by eight former players against the NFL, claiming that teams didn't properly notify them about the risks of taking painkillers during their careers. The attorneys for the eight players claim they are the name plaintiffs, and they represent 500 other players. I am bothered that players sued the league rather than individual teams; if it's team doctors that willy-nilly handed out drugs to keep players on the field, why not name names and sue team doctors? Keith Van Horne, Jim McMahon and Richard Dent are three of the eight plaintiffs, and they played mostly for the Chicago Bears. Why is it the NFL that's getting served here and not the doctors who handed out the medication?
I also am bothered by the timing of it. I do understand it often takes time for symptoms to emerge in retired players, but 37 years? Plaintiffs J.D. Hill and Ron Pritchard last played 37 years ago. They just got a lawyer now? What should the statute of limitations be for retired players to seek damages against either the NFL or their former teams? I don't know, but two generations is too long. Way too long. I doubt Keith Van Horne, the former Bears tackle, is just now noticing health problems—21 years after last playing—and a quarter-century after learning he played a season with a broken leg without being told of the consequences. But now is when he's suing.
Newberry and former offensive lineman Ron Stone stopped playing less than a decade ago, and it seems reasonable to suggest that six and nine years after players stopped playing is a fair window to file a suit. But 37 years?
It's clear the NFL has some skeletons in its medical closet, and I wish Newberry well in his struggle to be adequately taken care of if it's proven that drugs were dispensed without regard to his future health. And I also wish that the case won't be settled with a multimillion-dollar payout. I want to see and hear what really happened in NFL trainers' rooms, so the game can be sure—similar to bounty payouts—the same stuff never happens again.
But whacking team physicians from the seventies and eighties, which is most of what we're talking about here … how far back will attorneys go to let the sun shine on bad medical practices? A liberal pill dispenser in the sixties? Some crazy trainer in the fifties? That part of it bugs me, not to be unsympathetic to the cases of Pritchard and Hill. But how are we going to get to the bottom of what happened in a trainers' room 40 years ago? Who is still alive from then? Who has the memory to determine whether Hill or Pritchard is telling the truth—and how many witnesses can be brought forth to tell the truth about something that happened in 1973, or 1985?
I know there is strength in numbers, but if I were Newberry, I'd have flown solo on this case. I don't see how massing these cases together helps his cause. I'd have sued the teams and their medics who allegedly gave him Toradol without adequate warning. But however it is done, I hope his testimony illuminates a part of football that needs klieg lights shined on it.
Now onto your email:
ON RAY RICE. I usually love your column, but I was troubled by the section in today's MMQB on Ray Rice's press conference with his wife regarding their infamous Atlantic City elevator incident. Domestic violence against men by women is a huge problem in our society due to our culture of male bravado and toughness leading to most cases going unreported, allowing the violence to continue. While it's hard to conceive of a situation in which Rice was justified in knocking Palmer out, it is important to remember that if she was being violent with Rice, his first reaction (as with many people) could have been to fight. If that was the case, that his body's first reaction to being attacked was to fight back, then it isn't so hard to picture how he, a top-tier athlete, might have accidentally knocked out his wife before he could stop his initial bodily reaction. Saying that there is never any excuse to get physical with a woman is exceedingly ignorant and propagates the stereotypes and ideas that make life a living hell for men being abused by their wives or girlfriends. Women are just as capable as men of physically abusing their significant others, and should therefore be under the same scrutiny as men in a situation where both parties seem to be the obvious victim of domestic violence.
—Ben C.
Sorry, Ben. I cannot see the argument the way you see it. It certainly is reasonable to suggest that the woman could have been at partial fault here. However, she was the one who was dragged unconscious out of an elevator by Rice. Are there cases in which females are overly aggressive and hurt males? I am sure there are. But there is absolutely no evidence in this case to suggest that.
ON A TOUGHER DUI SANCTION. While I would commend the players' union for adding appropriate punishment to the substance abuse policy, a one-game suspension for a DUI conviction is a laughable deterrent. I would suggest at least four games, if not six. Make these coddled players seriously think about what repercussions their actions may cause by getting behind the wheel after a night of drinking.
—Jared, Silver Spring, Md.
Thank you for writing. While I agree with you that drunk driving should be penalized by the NFL more severely than it currently is, I cannot view a first-time DUI offense as being justifiable to miss 25% or 40% of the season. A one-game suspension is a good start and I believe it will be a better deterrent then the current system.
ON DAN SNYDER. Seems to me that the Washington football team's name issue has been going on for many years and there is always going to be a stalemate because Dan Snyder won't change the name. Has any thought been given by Roger Goodell and/or the other owners that if/when Snyder sells majority ownership of the team or if ownership is otherwise transferred, that a condition of sale or transfer would be a name change? Of course, you run the risk of the team not changing hands for years on end, but at some point, Snyder will either sell or pass away (sorry, I know that sounds morbid). In the meantime, hopefully they can negotiate for a name change, but this way, there is a guarantee that it will occur at some time in the future.
That is an interesting concept. But if Dan Snyder owns the team for, say, the next 25 years, and I believe that's quite possible, this certainly won't help the situation the league and the team is in now.
MORE ON SNYDER. The fundamental flaw in your Redskins argument is that you assume Daniel Snyder should, or would, do what is in the best interest of the NFL. After the way the team was treated in the salary cap episode, why in the world would he do something that is in the best interest of the league as a whole? At least without massive compensation from the league?
—Stephanie, Evansville, Ind.
The only motivation Snyder has to do something now, other than listening to his conscience, is that he risks the wrath of the other 31 owners by continuing to make this a story for the next two or three years. I am not saying that he will continue to make it a story. The outside world will. But a headline is a headline, regardless of who prompts it.
ON OTHERCAT. I am offended by the name "Othercat." I hope you will join me in a crusade to persuade Mr. Benoit to change the name to a more cat-respectful name. Like "Mr. Fizzles."
—Mike Y., Concord, N.C.
You start the movement, Mike. I will be right on your tail.
First step, if there is any legal system left that still understands personal accountability, would be to reject the suit and have them go back through the team doctors, coaches and gm's or prove that Rozell/Taglibue directed teams to inject players and not inform them of the potential effects.
What does Goodell have to do with Keith Van Horne and his team doctor?
It would be something that may change the whole perception of the league if coaches like Noll, Landry, Shula, Walsh, Gibbs, Madden, Parcells, Ditka, (does not deserve to be in this group but his ex players are very very loud), Jimmy Johnson, Belchick were/are directing team doctors to inject players and leave out the details.
There is no way that this practice is allowed to happen without their knowledge.
We all understand how each generation builds, but the players from yesteryear believe that because when they played, they could not generate the interest or revenue that today's players due, but you can not escape the sense that they are still wanting to cash in (mismanaged their retirement perhaps?)
I am not clear that there is value in having someone playing hurt, but having them played injured seems like the quality of performance would be limited.
Performance remains the most critical element in the NFL.
Reporting on the NFL has, for many years, included talk of a player getting "an injection" before the game so he could play, or even at halftime. Of course we're never told what the injection contains. If a doctor is telling you that this injection will help you return to the field, then I don't blame the players. We can't expect them to be medical experts and have a full understanding of any long-term consequences from the drugs the team docs are giving them.
All of this is part and parcel of football culture in our country. If you're hurt you need to "man up" and get back on the field. You don't want to let the team down. So-and-so had a similar injury and he was able to play, why can't you?
Players are treated like cattle and are used until they are used up. I don't care what their paycheck looks like. They're NOT doctors, so it's foolish to put the blame on them for the consequences of taking these drugs.
These guys just need to shut up and play football.
About the DUI, all you have to do is point to Donte Stallworth. One person died from an athlete DUI. 1 game for first offenders? That is a joke. You can do something with a chance to end someone's life, and you miss 1 game.
DUI in our society should be a felony, first offense. You have to make the punishment for crime deter crime, to a degree. Doesn't always work, but if it wipes out 60% of the stupidity as a whole, then that is 6 out of 10 drunks off the roads. I like those odds better than 10 out of 10.
For the argument below that states about Peter King's kid being ran over by a drunk driver, I totally agree, though you have a different circumstance with certainly more press. Press coverage drives the disipline. I personally believe that if you are impaired and kill someone due to that impairment, then it should at least be second degree murder. Honestly, you know you are getting drunk, and therefore using a car (weapon) is pre-meditated in most cases. Yes I know there are exceptions, but it is all about getting that 6 out of 10. Then you have 4 morons to worry about.
Here is an idea. Instead of sideline doctors being an employee of the NFL or local team, make them employees of the players union. No player would want their agent to be an NFL employee, so why have a team doctor that is more beholden to the team's owner than the patient. How much money the union gets from the NFL to hire those doctors would be something for them to negotiate. And if they don't think they got enough money, or the players want better doctors, then they can pay more in union dues to cover the expense.
If Tom Brady ran down one of King's kids while inebriated I wonder if he would think the one game suspension was enough .
If some walked into a mall and started spraying bullets it is the same thing.
1. Drugs were used recklessly in the 70s and 80s ? WHAT ?
2.If they were on an elevator and she cracked him with a cell phone and kept wailing and he pushed her away and in a drunken stupor she hit her head against the wall and fell down, and was knocked out, that is not quite the evil picture as him delivering a right cross or a haymaker.if she is pummeling him with a phone in an elevator it is not like he can walk away.
what's wrong
We don't always get what we want in life. Everyone expects that just because all the civil rights groups are pushing for name change, that we'll get the happy Hollywood ending where the name is changed and everybody lives happily ever after. It's like if you go ask your boss for a raise. You can make an impassioned plea, stick up for yourself, etc. Ideally he will say you're right, I see it your way, shake your hand and give you the raise. The reality is often we're told 'no'. These groups (some who are legitimate, some just trying to serve their own agenda) can fight the good fight, but they may not get the resolution they desire.
I think that in an effort to honor Peter King, the Washington Redskins should change their name to the Washington Foreskins.
Peter King is a big a moon bat as Reid and Obama he should give up this football hobby and go to the NewYork Times
This talk of the Redskins name is the new path for a minority to make a change. Complain enough through social media to pressure someone to do what you want, like fire someone for saying something insensitive but well within their American right.
I like the football info, Peter, but this column seems to have gotten much more political in the past 2-3 years.
So Pete, I love you, but what is the statute of limitations??? I say never. The league knew all along that this game was ridiculously dangerous for these guys, and still profits off of their pain. It's really crazy when you think about it.
leave mr snyder alone and let him do what he wants as he owns the team!!! i am so sick of a few people trying to make a change because it offends them. grow a pair!!!
While I empathize with Jeremy Newberry and the others, I can't believe they can plead ignorance to all of this. I also suspect Toradol is not the only medication they ever put in their bodies that could have an effect on their organs. Most of these guys are university educated (to some degree) and have their own doctors and advisers.
I realize many were around before you were just able to go online and google things, but some common sense is required. Your body, you are responsible for what goes in it. Just like the PED clause in the CBA. And even if they knew, how many can honestly say they would have refused treatment? Like the concussion sufferers who hide their conditions?
@Bongo Players know this going in...the first thing they hear "perform or get cut and we will find someone who will".
All players are expected to play hurt, the question here is if they were injured and lied to by team doctors and coaches/gm. Yeah Billy, get back out there even though you now run a 5.8 because you are injuried?
How that gets tied back to Rozelle; Taglibue and Goodell is my question?
@JeffWBrown : I like your point about premeditation. When I'm at a bar and I know that I'm driving, I know that I have to be responsible and keep my drinking under control. Going from "having a beer" to being drunk - or over the legal limit - doesn't just magically happen. Not to mention the fact that NFL players can afford to pay a taxi or hire a driver for the night if they know they'll be drinking.
@picklejuice : This makes far too much sense to ever happen.
@theboneman21 Actually, since it is Brady, Peter would tell Tom that it is OK and that he has two other kids......
I think running down a child while drunk would draw a different response from the NFL than getting a DUI.
Might not be able to "walk away", but he definitely could've subdued her until the elevator opened back up again. He doesn't have to hit her.
What makes a group legitimate or illegitimate in this case?
@Raiderforlife Do you know what a complete sentence is? Because what you wrote is not one.
How is the Redskins name not a football issue?
@Prov1 No doubt. Why would a limitations statute come in to play if there is still suffering occurring from this?
@daveg2011 Said the white male.
@Asterisk : Regardless of their education, they're not doctors. A doctor is giving them medicine. How in the world are they supposed to form their own opinion on what they're being given?
You think ?
The fact is, someone who drinks and drives is committing what amounts to attempted murder, plain and simple. The fact that it is such a small penalty for something so serious is a joke.
Those who think one game is enough are clearly out of their minds. It is too lenient to "celebs"
Even Vince Neil got off light.
@Jason1988 Define "subdue" without firm/strong physical contact (not necessarily hitting).
@Jason1988 Do we know he hit her as in punched her or did he push her away ?
@blynder @therick5000 : I think he means a group who actually fights for civil rights vs. a group who is getting involved solely for political purposes or just to make a name for themselves.
@Rickapolis @Raiderforlife Who cares. This is not high school. If you want to be grammar police then go teach.
@TimHi @Bonecrusher77 Do you read his bull not jus the Redskins name pay attention
@TimHi @Bonecrusher77 It's simply the name of a business... It affects NOTHING of their running game... it does NOT affect who makes the team... it does not affect their play calling... or ANYTHING about football actually.
How is it a football issue to you? FOOTBALL issue. Not political issue. Not what sponsors think, not what their fans think, not what the real Indian people think etc...
But FOOTBALL issues. Does the Redskins name affect their strength training program?
Does it affect how they do their drills? How many repetitions they do of a drill on the practice field?
Does it affect a play call in their games?
What FOOTBALL issue does it affect sir?
@Aaron14 @Prov1 : Besides the fact that there are a million reasons why these guys may have waited. Maybe they were given bad advice? Maybe they're NOT DOCTORS and never made the connection until other cases were publicized? Who knows.
I get the point that there's no real way to investigate what took place in a locker room 30+ years ago, but their concerns and issues are no less legit.
@Enusmith1 Wow, you REALLY got him there!
There does seem to be some flexibility in it - i.e., a first office could be *at least* a game suspension, which can be extended/added too as situations warrant. If the "baseline" or minimum sanction is a game suspension then they grow from there that would allow for sanctioning to be more appropriate to the incident. I.e., so the player/personnel guy/coach/owner who drives drunk on a rural road, 2 miles to his home under the speed limit might receive a lesser sanction than the player/personnel/guy/coach/owner who drives drunk down the middle of Manhattan 20mph over the speed limit in the middle of rush hour.
No no don't stop. Lord knows part of the issue may be a lack of dialogue.
Here is the deal - if I drive like a maniac in traffic, say 100 mph and I am serving strong cutting people off, I can be charged with a crime even if sober.
A player who smokes dope is treated the same as a drunk driver which is insanity. A player who takes Ritalin is treated the same.
Goodell claims to care about the league's image. Yet when one of his employees drinks and drives he threatens to kill the very people who give him them their money. Maybe the NFL big wigs are huge Don Draper fans and long for the days where driving surround with s beer was acceptable.
Ah so sorry, not trying to haggle over the term; just wondering how to punish something like this. Potential or actual? There are other "things" and "actions" that have the potential to do great harm (I don't want to discount that at all) but are not all treated equally... Where is the standard. Now I'm getting philosophical - you can tell me to stop now. :D
Fine. Haggle over the term. They are IMPAIRED so it doesn't matter what they think. Getting behind the wheel of a car is as bad as walking into a mall and opening fire.
Drink driving is endangering the public. No question.
Remember Donate Stallworth ?
It's a bad thing - don't get me wrong; but calling it attempted murder is a stretch to me. That is assuming that someone is planning on murdering someone when they drink and drive - I think most people think they're "ok" and/or they will not hurt anyone. Does it need a heavier sentence? I don't know, a suspension from a game and a heavy fine; plus some alcohol and drug counseling/rehab might be a good place to start. We cannot thoroughly punish someone for potential dangers - we have to punish someone for what they've actually done.
As to call someone out of their minds may be a stretch - some might be in their right mind but have different experiences. ;)
Who is Vince Neil?
That is a decent answer Bongo; and it does leave a lot of room for interpretation. If *I* as someone not a part of the group hear their concerns and deem them as political and self-serving then where does it go? These things are challenging - I think our collective skill as a country in being able to handle difficult conversations has taken such a huge hit. Maybe it's the 24hour news cycle... we're seeing the effects of this in the Legislative branch - lots of bickering, sounds bites - no resolutions, collaborations and progress.
@TimHarb @Rickapolis @Raiderforlife Don't you think it's at least kind of funny when a post critiquing a writer is itself terribly written?
@Sportsfan18: Yeah, but it's still a football issue. That's like saying that reporting on contracts and financial stuff isn't a "football issue". It's part of the game. The teams are part of the league.
In the rural area there are probably kids running around in the streets. I am not crazy about the idea of saying "sometimes it is not so bad"
A friend of mine got plowed in such a car. He survived but was in casts fun the chest down for months. We were in middle school and it was may of 1988, before cell phones. He lived in a rural area and was walking home at 1 am. He was walking on the shoulder of the road and wham.
He spent his summer vacation in the hospital and could never play sports again because some idiot was drunk driving.
True. True. Lots of situations to consider I suppose. And I hear what you are saying - I'm just not sure we can "punish" equally for potential perceived dangers. Seems a 1st offense should be more educational if there are not mitigating circumstances (such as the rural road w/the kids playing on it) where a basic sanction can be used in combination with other actions to prevent.

Wow – long time since anyone posted in this forum. However, it's handy when I want to rant.
AngelVox is a giveaway that specializes in providing listening functions for eBook enthusiasts.
One – reading book/text on a digital monitor hurts the eye a lot more (a lot, lot more) than reading a real book under sunlight/room light.
So, I wouldn't read eBooks unless they weren't offered in paper form.
Two – reading the eBooks out using a computer (I might be wrong in this line about AngelVox's function, but I'm just ranting ) with a digital voice sounds bad.
So, why would I buy this program? Especially since the portable version can be moved to another computer to use when I use the GAOTD key?!
Ridiculous. Just totally ridiculous.

Four more people have died of H1N1, bringing the total deaths in Orange County to 44, the Health Care Agency reported Monday. Among the latest deaths, all had underlying health conditions. One was a child, bringing the total number of kids who have died to 5.
Orange County has now received 710,430 doses of swine flu vaccine -- enough for 22 percent of residents -- and more clinics are offering the vaccine.
The clinics are still only open to those who fall into one of five target groups: pregnant women; anyone who lives with or provides care for infants younger than 6 months (e.g., parents, siblings and daycare providers); health care and emergency medical services personnel; young people age 6 months through 24 years; and adults 25-64 who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications.
Here's where you can go if you fall into a target group:
The county's Health Care Agency is offering free vaccines Monday-Saturday in Santa Ana by appointment only. To make an appointment, including for a second dose for children 6 months to 9 years, call 1-800-564-8448 Monday - Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Vaccinations are given at the Health Care Agency, 1725 W.

Ellis County GOP Executive Committee will be historic
On Nov. 1, the Ellis County GOP Executive Committee will hold their monthly meeting.
This night will be historic in the sense that County Judge, Carol Bush, will be present to report the reasoning behind the recent county tax increase voted on by the Commissioner's Court.
There has been a motion to censure the court for taking this action. Which brings me to my reason for writing. It is extremely important that you, voting members and citizens, mark this meeting date on your calendars and attend.
Although a vote of censure will do nothing to change the affirmed vote to raise our taxes, it will however send a message to the court that this vote is unacceptable by the party and the people of Ellis County.
Whether you agree with the censure or not, your vote and voice should be heard on this issue.
It is important to note that the amount of the tax increase is not what is most important.
It is the fact that they took no suggestions from the citizens or the county auditor, Mike Navarro, prior to passing this increase. Moreover, they have since instituted some changes which have and/or potentially could result in savings to the budget. These changes could have been reviewed and instituted prior to making the increase if they had been prudent.
As a citizen of Ellis County, I urge you to take the time to attend this Executive Committee meeting and let your voices be heard.

Double Elimination Starts in 40 Knots of WindAug-02-2013
40 knots welcomed the riders this morning for the start of the double elimination at the PKRA Fuerteventura. The race director decided to start with the women because the forecast was calling for more wind in the afternoon. The women were already on 5 to 6 kites and the men on 5 to 7 meters. Alexander Neto had the highest scoring heat of the day (33.86) and the highest scoring move; a switch S-mobe(7.4). Patrick Blanc, Reno Romeu, Christophe tack and Aaron Hadlow also landed some of the big tricks in the challenging conditions of Fuerteventura.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Pro-Abortion Study Admits Thousands of Women Hospitalized Every Year From Botched Abortions

Study Shows Big Drop in Teen Pregnancy Rates as Planned Parenthood Clinics Close
As a part of ALL's just-released meta-study of Planned Parenthood, STOPP researchers analyzed the teen pregnancy rate in 16 counties of the Texas Panhandle. In those counties, over an 11-year period, closures of Planned Parenthood facilities were ongoing in the face of strong community opposition to the abortion giant's presence.
Study: Planned Parenthood Health Services at Lowest Point Since 2006 While Tax $ Up 78%
The Planned Parenthood abortion business says it repeatedly: it's about women's health care not abortion. The abortion business will have much to explain following a new study released today by American Life League.
For years, conservatives and pro-life groups have fought public tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood because it is primarily an abortion business and the new study backs up that claim. The meta-study by American Life League shows that the total healthcare services delivered by Planned Parenthood have reached their lowest point since 2006, while taxpayer funding has increased 78 percent over the past six years.
Study Findings Alleviate Some Anti-Fracking Fears
- A new study found drilling and fracking for natural gas doesn't release a substantial amount of methane gas into the air.
- Some had feared the naturally occurring gas being released into the atmosphere might refute some of its more environmentally friendly points as an energy source, because as a greenhouse gas it could lead to planet warming.
- Despite the study's findings, some are saying the drilling operations evaluated were not necessarily indicative of "real operations."
Peer-Reviewed Study: Abortion is Not Safer for Women Than Childbirth
How often do you hear a child disposal apologist repeat the talking point that abortion is safer for the mother than childbirth?
It's never been quite the showstopper they hoped for, since annual pregnancy-related deaths in the United States (650) are less than a thousandth of 1% of the annual number of live births (3,953,590), because it seems like a new abortion mill is being busted for health violations almost every week, and ultimately because it wouldn't change the fact that abortion's mortality rate for the baby is virtually 100%.

By Jiminy, Where's Your Conscience?
That guy who bumped his cart right into the checkout line in front of you and is now avoiding your eyes–give him a smile when he does look at you.
The lady who processes your driver's license and barks out each bit of instruction to you as if you are completely inept–wish her a nice day and a beautiful tomorrow.
The neighbor who screams at your kids for walking on his lawn–invite him to stop by for a glass of lemonade sometime.
You'll deflate their balloons immediately as they wrestle with their conscience and say to themselves: "Was that me talking so mean? I really have to work on that."

FORT GORDON, Ga. (WRDW) -- A squirrel is to blame for the post-wide power outage at Fort Gordon Saturday.
A media rep with Georgia Power says the squirrel got into equipment in the substation area, and that's what caused the blackout and explosion sound.
He said the "boom" sound came from when the squirrel touched the wrong piece of equipment.
The lights went out around nine Saturday morning.
The Fort Gordon Facebook page said everything is back to normal and the Main Exchange and Commissary are open. MWR facilities are in the process of reopening.
Here's an explanation from the post:
"Just to clarify, shortly before 9:00 a.m., the post lost power after a reported explosion-like sound in the vicinity of Nelson Hall. We still have no additional information as to what exactly occurred or what the estimated time of repair is.
Thank you for your patience. We'll keep you posted."
However, the Youth Center will be closed Saturday, the page said.
Georgia Power assessed the situation, the page said.

OK, so I'm running a little bit late with today's Food Frames. But I assure you, there's a good reason! I have to go hang out with the wacky competitive canners at the Cape Fear Fair & Expo tonight, story to come (eventually, I promise!)
But that is neither here or now, so let's get down to the serious weekly business of Food Frames! Lots of Fall goodness starting to show up. In addition to being Halloweenish, the playful Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie from TheatreNOW executive chef Denise Gordon you see above is packed with rutabagas, parsnips and all other manner of root veggies.
We've got about 25 photos this week, which means they're all squirreled away in a gallery, just click the above photo to fire it up.
Oh, and it looks like we have a little game this week. Manna cook Kyle Lee McKnight is toying with us this time around. He shared the photo you see to the right, but gave no clues as to what it might be, just slapping the teasing caption of "Guess what???" on the photo. To take a stab with your best guess, click the photo to tweet an answer his way.

English novelist Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812 – 1870) not only achieved fame in his lifetime, but continues to be popular to this day. He is known for his iconic characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and for his portrayal of Victorian London, as if the city was another character in his stories.
BBC: Charles Dickens Animation5 stars
Yup, you read that correctly. BBC presents a delightful animated introduction to Charles Dickens' life. In addition to the video, there is a multimedia version, called Scene Selector, an annotated slide show with hotspots for the discovery of additional material about Dickens life and work. For more Dickens fun, follow the Play the Game link to Survive Dickens' London. "Dodge through Victorian London, avoiding the gangs and villains and trials and tribulations of Dickensian London in order to seek out Charles Dickens in his chalet hideaway in Rochester."
David Perdue's Charles Dickens Page5 stars
David Perdue's fan page is dedicated to enhancing "the reader's experience, providing background on Dickens, his work, and the times in which he lived." And, he's successful on all counts! Visit for Dickens Fast Facts, summaries of each of his novels, a cross-linked list of 400 Dickens characters, a look at Dickens' London, a timeline, and a glossary that defines terms from Victorian English that you probably don't not know. "Blacking -- shoe or boot polish. As a child Dickens was employed at Warren's Blacking factory."
Victorian Web: Charles Dickens5 stars
The Victorian Web is a compilation of literature resources from Brown University. The Dickens section contains several hyperlinked biographies as well as critical reviews of biographies written in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The links allow you to dive deeper into the material, to learn, for example, about the role that child labor played in the Industrial Revolution. Literature students will appreciate the sections on themes, genre, characterization, imagery, and the political and social history of Dickens' times.
PBS: Dickens5 stars
PBS Dickens (online companion to the 2003 three-part television series) covers both his life and career with essays by Joel J. Brattin, Professor of English at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. This attractive site includes illustrations from some of Dickens first editions, and reproductions from his original serial publications. "Dickens' first novel, the brilliantly comic THE PICKWICK PAPERS, brought him enormous fame. Like all his subsequent novels, it was originally published serially, that is, in installments or parts over time. He not only published serially but wrote serially too, planning each installment carefully."

First hands-on of BlackBerry Onyx, the Unreleased Traditional 3G, Wi-Fi, 3.2MP BlackBerry
There you go! CrackBerry has just completed the first hands-on of the unreleased BlackBerry code-named Onyx. The Onyx has been talked about for a few months now. It's NOT the touchscreen QWERTY BlackBerry, but rather a more traditional device featuring a 3G radio with Wi-Fi, GPS, and 3.2 megapixel camera. Its expected that this model may actually become part of the Tour family joining the CDMA 9630.
Here is a list of known features:
- 3G device – GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS (Bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900)
- 480 by 360 display, beveled edges
- 256 megabytes of internal memory (same as Curve 8900, 8520)
- 1550mAh M-S1 battery (same as Bold)
- 3.2 megapixel camera, with flash and auto focus
- GPS and Wi-Fi
At this time the processor speed isn't exactly known but its expected to be a little faster than the Bold's 624MHz one. No ETA as to when this device will be released, but stay tuned for more details coming within the next little bit.

Monday 11 February 1660/61
At the office all the morning. Dined at home, and then to the Exchequer, and took Mr. Warren with me to Mr. Kennard, the master joiner, at Whitehall, who was at a tavern, and there he and I to him, and agreed about getting some of my Lord's deals on board to-morrow.
Then with young Mr. Reeve home to his house, who did there show me many pretty pleasures in perspectives,1 that I have not seen before, and I did buy a little glass of him cost me 5s. And so to Mr. Crew's, and with Mr. Moore to see how my father and mother did, and so with him to Mr. Adam Chard's (the first time I ever was at his house since he was married) to drink, then we parted, and I home to my study, and set some papers and money in order, and so to bed.
- 'Telescope' and 'microscope' are both as old as Milton, but for long while 'perspective' (glass being sometimes understood and sometimes expressed) did the work of these. It is sometimes written 'prospective.' Our present use of 'perspective' does not, I suppose, date farther back than Dryden. — Trench's Select Glossary. — M. B. ↩

I've got Straus winning the 1 and 3rd rounds, with the 3rd being a 10-8. Curran needs separation and a finish.
I've got Straus winning the 1 and 3rd rounds, with the 3rd being a 10-8. Curran needs separation and a finish.
Straus won the 4th, but jeezus Herzog could've been more active in separating them more than once.
Curran needs a finish, he cannot let Straus get the takedown and Straus is a cardio beast. Figure BFC is pretty fucking pleased this card isn't on PPV, not the greatest lol.
So are we on our way to the Bellator version of Strikeforce: Nashville?— T. P. Grant (@TP_Grant) November 3, 2013
Curran needs a finish imo but who am I? I've seen some great judging as of late
Curran's gotta be out on his feet or utterly gassed. No other reason for him to be looking for the takedown. I got Straus taking the entire fight, with Curran maybe getting the second. Don't see Curran getting any scorecards. Good showing for Straus, but not the type of exciting fight they wanted for this card.
Not really an exciting fight but good for Straus.
In the end, the only prize a fighter keeps is you. I only ask that you continue supporting all athletes. Keep supporting them, because in the end your applause is the only thing that remains. The rest is only an illusion. - Wanderlei to fans
Props to Straus, Curran fought like shit. Looks like Pitbull has a mighty good chance of winning the title going forward.

Date:July 30,2011-August 9, 2011
Depart:New York City, NY
Arrive:Washington, D.C.
Distance: 372 Miles
An all too short trip to New York City came to an end, and I was back across the Brooklyn Bridge and onto a ferry to New Jersey. The ferry was one of many that I would need to take as I bike along the Jersey coast. With a degree in Marine biology and a love of the ocean, it had been far too long since I had felt the ocean, so instead of going to D.C. via Philadelphia I chose the long route via the Jersey Shore!
The first day was 72 mile ride to Manahawkin, NJ and went great. The first view of the beach was amazing and I knew that I would be enjoying flat ground for a while! I got there and met an amazing retired teacher who I'd be staying with. He is a cancer survivor and a very inspirational person. He brought me to a friend of his for some BBQ, got me an interview with the local paper, and has remained a great follower throughout the ride. Through comments and gestures by his friends, it was obvious that this guy was and is a huge inspiration to all those who had the opportunity to be in his class. I learned alot in my short time there, and he was a great host.
The next day I headed further south to Ocean City, NJ, ate an awesome philly cheese steak and enjoyed the ocean water for the first time in over 4 months! Suprisingly chilly, but felt great after a days ride. The hosts were great, and the next day was a short ride to Wildwood, NJ to stay with my childhood friend, and longtime neighbor. It was great to see him, and he treated me to an amazing lobster dinner.
I went to bed and rose early due to an early ferry ride I had to make which left Cape May at 7:30am and was followed by a 99 mile ride! A southern breeze didn't make my long day any easier, but after traveling through New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland , I finally arrived to Chincoteague Island in Virginia, home of wild ponies and an amazing state park.
Chincoteague Island Wild Ponies
Due to a incorrect assumption on the schedule for the ferries, I had to stay in Chincoteague Island for a couple days instead of 1. Apparently some of the ferries in this area only run on Friday and Saturday. Luckily, my host was a great guy and didn't mind me staying couple extra days. With the extra days I got some work done, as well as a little exploration of the lush island. The island was great, but I was itching to get across the Chesapeake bay and head to Washington D.C.
Finally on Friday morning I set off to the Ferry, climbed aboard and enjoyed a long, 20 mile ferry ride to Smith Island, where I transferred over to another ferry for another 20 mile ferry ride. Once on land, I had another 20 miles to bike before arriving in St. Leonard. It was a short stay, a short night, and I was again off with Washington D.C. being my destination of the day!
It was a 68 mile ride that I thought would never end! My excitement for the city was making minutes feel like hours, and when I finally saw the tip of the Washingon Monument, the feeling was overwhelming! Chills shot through my body just as they did when I saw the Statue of Liberty. Washington D.C. wasn't only a great destination in that I would be biking on the same ground in which so many important decisions have been made, but it is here that Infinity and Beyond would be making their 2nd donation! In D.C. I stayed with a good friend of my dad's who had a condo in Arlington, VA just a few miles south of all the wonderful sites of D.C. This made it very easy and convenient to bike there to see the amazing buildings. I had a few days to explore the city and gets some work done before I headed off towards VA Beach, the Outer Banks, and then Charlotte, NC!
Here is an article describing the donation!
I know this was a long article, but I appreciate you all following along as I ride around the country to raise money for infinity and Beyond and our mission. I hope you enjoy what you read, and I hope it encourages you to get out, get active, and strive to make a difference in the world.

Keeping Specific PDB Files from Loading in the Debugger
As I've discussed, PDB files are wondrous bundles of binary joy. However, loading missing PDB files can quickly become an angst-ridden teenager as you wait what seems like forever on a network timeout for missing symbols. This is especially apparent in Tom's question:
For nearly two years I've been searching the Internet for an answer to this question: is it possible to get the DBGHELP.DLL to /not/ load a PDB for a specific DLL? I have applications that have lots of third-party DLLs for which I have no PDB files (read: "drivers for a database company that shall remain nameless") and I'd like to tell the DBGHELP.DLL to avoid attempting to search for those PDBs. In fact, I have been investigating the possibility of making stub PDBs with no information and stuffing them in a private symbol server just to make symbol loading faster.
Any thoughts?
Oh, I have many thoughts, and like Tom, some of them are not wholesome when wrestling with that "database company that shall remain nameless" because they won't release symbols for their native compiled drivers. For those of working on native binaries that third parties plug into, it's trivial with the linker /PDBSTRIPPED switch to generate the same kind of PDB files Microsoft makes available on its public symbol server. You're not giving up any secrets with stripped symbols!
The good news for all of us needed to skip loading a few PDB files is that the debugger folks at Microsoft know your pain and have a decent solution. Unfortunately, most people haven't seen it because the trick is in the SymProxy discussion, which is how you host your own HTTP symbol download. Mentioned in passing is "This feature exists in the client debugger..." There is one small bug is how they tell you to do the exclusion is incorrect, but easily fixable.
The first way to exclude particular PDB files is to create a file called SYMSRV.INI and put the Exclusions section in like the following:
I love the wildcard support! The documentation doesn't tell you where to place that file, but it needs to be in the same directory as SYMSRV.DLL. That's why I don't care for this approach because that means you need to put this file in every place where you have a debugger as they all use SYMSRV.DLL to do their symbol loading.
A better approach is to put the exclusions in the registry so every debugger automatically picks them up. The documentation says to put them in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but the real place is HKEY_CURRENT_USER. First, create a key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Symbol Server\Exclusions. In that key, create REG_SZ values for the PDB files, including wildcards, for the PDB files you want to skip. Here's an example .REG file for skipping NOTEPAD.EXE and for Tom, the wildcard for what I'm guessing he'd like to skip <grin>:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Symbol Server\Exclusions]
In the value field, you can put anything you want, like a comment as to why you need to skip loading these PDB files. Alternatively, you could fill the void with pithy quotes to provide a moment of Zen for anyone reading your registry.
Using the above .REG file, I debugged NOTEPAD.EXE with Visual Studio and here's the proof that no download from the Microsoft symbol server took place.
There are a couple of more questions in my queue, but if you have more, please don't hesitate to ask if there's something you wanted to know about PDB files. Please let me live my dream of educating everyone about PDB files!

We found that everyone using their own symsrv.dll was problematic so every machine has _NT_SYMBOL_PATH that specifies the dll to use e.g.,

Awesome! Thank you very, very much for this!
I've been long-plagued by the issue of timing out due to trying to load symbols when attempting to attach for remote debugging to a (very large) third party app that we have written a plugin for - this will help a TON.
Thanks again, you rock. :)

Resources that I have found incredibly valuable in my businesses
Time-sheet Template Spreadsheet
If you're ANYTHING like me, you are constantly switching between working on different projects – whether that's working for a client or on unpaid work. I found it was essential a few years ago, to keep track of this time to provide my clients with a detailed breakdown of what I had done with my time (and their money) each month. Nowadays I use it just as much to keep an eye on how I am spending time on different projects and businesses, even if I don't submit it to anyone at the end of the month. Download the spreadsheet template below, and use the instructions included or watch the how to video included below. O and if you have anything to say about it, comment below
Download the Timesheet Template
Procrastination Resources
As a sole trader or entrepreneur, you have complete control over your time, no one telling you what to do, breathing down your neck – great huh? Well not always…one of the hardest things to get used to when in control of your own time, is using it in the best way. Procrastination was an issue I faced quickly after becoming self employed and one of the first and most valuable resources I turned to was a podcast on procrastination from Professor Tim Pychyl at procrastination.ca. I developed a spreadsheet (anyone noticing a theme here?) to help analyse and 'budget' my time, and make more reasonable goals.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
