Tyler Barnes, Milwaukee Brewers vice president of communications, said in an email Tuesday that Hank is on "dog bed rest" for the time being after being neutered.OUCH!!!
"Given the vet's recommendation, Hank has been placed on the 15-day disabled list," Barnes said. "A tough break after the thrill of his first opening day."
Hank, the stray that wandered into the Brewers' spring training camp in February and was later adopted by the family of a Brewers official, made his Miller Park debut at opening day Monday, taking a walk on the field with mascot Bernie Brewer.
While Hank was convalescing Tuesday, ABC had planned to air a report on the ballpark pup on "World News Tonight."
Because they just won the lottery THREE TIMES in TWO weeks.
They won $1 million back on March 12th when they matched five numbers in the Powerball . . . they won $50,000 in a Pick 4 drawing on the 26th . . . and they won ANOTHER $1 MILLION on a scratcher the next DAY.
That's $2,050,000 in lottery winnings in two weeks. And according to Calvin, quote, "We're not finished yet."
The Virginia Lottery didn't release the exact odds on winning a few of those jackpots, so it's tough to calculate the odds Calvin and Zatera beat . . . but we estimated it's well over one in a trillion.
~~The "Dancing with the Stars" Season Premiere Took Second Place in the Ratings
The 18th season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" got 15.4 million viewers. That was a strong start with the overall viewers, but it was down slightly from last season.
Meanwhile, the 100th episode of "Glee" only attracted 2.8 million viewers, which is low for Fox. And the series premiere of "The 100" pulled 2.7 million, which is on the high end for the CW. Here are last week's top ten shows:
1. "NCIS", CBS, 17.1 million viewers.
2. The "Dancing with the Stars" season premiere, ABC, 15.4 million viewers.
3. "NCIS: Los Angeles", CBS, 14.2 million viewers.
4. Monday's episode of "The Voice", NBC, 13.5 million viewers.
5. "The Walking Dead", AMC, 13.5 million viewers.
6. Tuesday's episode of "The Voice", NBC, 13.3 million viewers.
7. "60 Minutes", CBS, 11.3 million viewers.
8. "The Blacklist", NBC, 11 million viewers.
9. "Person of Interest", CBS, 10.9 million viewers.
10. "CSI", CBS, 10.2 million viewers.
("American Idol" continues to take the backseat to "The Voice". "Idol" had 9.8 million viewers on Wednesday and another 8.4 million on Thursday. You'll find the Top 25 shows on cable and broadcast TV at Zap2It.com.)
The NCAA tournament is all about the bracket, but that doesn't mean there aren't other interesting ways to frustrate yourself and lose money. For The Win looks at the nine most interesting prop bets for the upcoming tourney. (All odds courtesy Bovada and current as of Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET.)
The thing that's never happened is 6/1 while the thing that happened five years ago is 50/1? Granted, it's only a matter of time before a No. 16 beats a No. 1. (Don't be stunned if it happens this week. This is the first tournament in years where there isn't considerable buzz over the 16/1 potential. The surprise factor will be the key to one of these upsets.) And 16 dominoes have to fall to get all No. 1s to a Final Four, whereas the upset is a "lightning in a bottle" thing. Factor in the fact that wagering on a first-round stunner is far more fun than praying for chalk and that probably explains the odd odds gap.
Unless Alex Trebek or Bryan Adams have any remaining eligibility, we'll assume Bovada is talking about Andrew Wiggins (Kansas), Nik Stauskas (Michigan), Melvin Ejim (Iowa State) or Tyler Ennis (Syracuse). Four players on four teams no one is picking to win and the odds are still short at 10/1? No thanks.
There are actually 27 Canadians playing in the tournament this year, but since none of them are on Michigan State, there's no use thinking any will win MOP, right ESPN?
In the past four years, playing the under would have won. In the three years before that, the over hit. The lesson: Only wager on sure things, like the citizenship of MOP winners.
Ohio State scored 95 as a No. 2 seed in 2013. The next highest point total for the awfully named "second-round" games was VCU's 88. Only six teams scored more than 80 points.
Here's one way to keep NCAA tournament blowouts interesting. You won't know the true depths of being a degenerate until you spend a Thursday afternoon cursing Rick Pitino for playing walk-ons in the final two minutes of a blowout because it might cause Louisville's winning margin to dip below 33. For those who can't resist the rush, take note: In 2013, Syracuse won by 47 and VCU won by 46 but no other team won its second-round game by more than 32.
Zero buzzer beaters (5/7); 1 buzzer beater (2/1); 2 buzzer beaters (6/1); 3 buzzer beaters (10/1); come on, there's not going to be more than three.
The Internet so rarely fails you that it's downright devastating when you Google: "NCAA tournament buzzer beaters history" and can't find a comprehensive list on Wikipedia or any of the dozens of great college basketball sites that exist. Anyway, buzzer beaters aren't nearly as common in the 32 second-round games as television highlight reels would like you to believe. There's a reason Bryce Drew's 16-year-old shot is still played incessantly every March.
Big Ten (7/2)
Big East (6/1)
Pac 12 (6/1)
Big 12 (7/1)
The biggest takeaway is that despite having the most teams in the field, the Big 12 has the longest odds of any power conference. And that if the AAC's goal was to get people to confuse it with the ACC when both are listed near each other, well played, American Athletic Conference.
Despite the ongoing love-fest for all things fourth-seeded, the group including Michigan State and Louisville is "only" 2/1 to win the title. That's a little steeper than the 3/2 odds given to the No. 1 seeds. The rest of the odds are just like you'd expect. Interestingly, seeds Nos. 5, 6 and 7 are listed at 25/1, while seeds Nos. 8 and 9 are 20/1. Lots of people betting the farm on George Washington then?

1. Stacking plates. You might THINK you're helping, but it actually makes it harder for them. They have their own way of balancing stuff, so just let them handle it.
2. Letting your kids misbehave. Waiters hate it when you sit there and enjoy your meal while your kids freak out and make a mess on the floor. It's even worse when you seat your kids at a separate table and expect the waitress to watch them.
3. Making a mess. Don't rip up your cocktail napkin or straw wrapper into little pieces. It's immature, and it annoys your server.
4. Talking on your phone. Hostesses can't stand it when you walk into a restaurant talking on your cell phone. And it drives your waiter crazy because they don't know when to interrupt or if the call is important.
5. Leaving your cell out on the table. It makes them nervous that they'll spill something on it. Just put it away.
6. Walking in right before closing. If you go in five to ten minutes before a restaurant closes, all the workers will have to stay until you leave. That's really annoying. Especially if you're the only table there.
7. Leaving a bad tip. First off, don't leave anything besides money. Apparently, some people like to leave religious literature instead of cash. And if you pay with a coupon, tip on the full amount of the bill BEFORE the discount.
8. Lying about allergies. If you don't like something and don't want it on your plate, don't lie and claim it's because of an allergy. That becomes a HUGE deal for the chef and the people in the kitchen. And your waitress suspects that you're lying.
Ask most folks to name an Irish invention and they'll gleefully rattle off a list of comical Celtic creations like powdered water, the solar-powered flashlight and the pedal-powered wheel chair. Although it's easy to poke fun at the Irish, the sons of Erin have used their ingenuity over the years to create a number of devices that enriched our lives immeasurably.
Pour the perfect pint of plain and grab a bag of crisps as we take a glimpse at the Emerald Isle's top 10 contributions to the world.
Leave it to the Irish to revolutionize the potato. Joseph Murphy turned the lowly spud on its head in 1954 when he introduced cheese and onion chips. The flavored snacks became a huge sensation and Murphy later sold his seasoning technology for a small fortune to an enterprising American company. These days you can buy chips in dozens of questionable, stomach-churning flavors including Caesar Salad, Cheese Cake and Gara Masala. Why you'd want to eat any of them, however, remains a mystery.
If you've ever used soda water to remove a stain, you have Robert Percival to thank. The Trinity College professor created the bubbly beverage in Dublin in 1800. Like many Irish inventions, it eventually mingled with alcohol, giving us delicious concoctions like whiskey and soda and Campari and soda. Now those are Irish contributions worth drinking to!
it owes its creation to Ireland's very own John Phillip Holland. An engineer by trade, this bespectacled County Clare native developed the first submarine to be formally commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1900. Over the years, he also came up with a number of innovations for his underwater vehicle like the screw propeller, a hydrocarbon engine, the submarine gun, and an auto-drive mechanism. Modern warfare -- and the plot of Crimson Tide -- would be at a loss without his ingenuity.
Modern agriculture got a helping hand in the 20th century from Harry Ferguson, a whip-smart County Down bicycle repairman who invented the modern tractor -- and he didn't stop there. Ferguson went on to develop the first four-wheel drive Formula One car and he became the first Irishman to build and fly his own airplane. Today, his name lives on in the Massey Ferguson company, a successful privately owned firm specializing in tractor manufacturing.
Back in 1911, as Home Secretary in the UK, Winston Churchill issued a commission for a vehicle that was "capable of resisting bullets and shrapnel, crossing trenches, flattening barbed wire, and negotiating the mud of no-mans land." In other words, he was looking for something that could safely transport him through Belfast's sketchiest neighborhoods. The result was the world's first tank, a nearly indestructible armored vehicle created by Blackrock engineer Walter Gordon Wilson. The tank has since undergone a series of radical innovations, but the basic principles of this essential battle buggy remain the same.
U2 first began redefining pop music in 1976 when Bono and his bandmates began producing their unique style of stadium-rattling hits. The group has since sold more than 145 million albums worldwide and won an unprecedented 22 Grammy awards. While their music is certainly worthy of the accolades they've received, U2's greatest legacy might just be their social activism. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan summed it up best when he observed: "You have made people listen. You have made people care, and you have taught us that whether we are poor or prosperous, we have only one world to share. You have taught young people that they do have the power to change the world."
One of Ireland's most accomplished scientists, Holywood House resident John Joly cemented his place in history in 1894 when he came up with a technique for producing color photographs from a single plate. His simple, but ingenious, invention changed the way we see the world and paved the way for the full-color nudie mags we all know and love. Maybe that's why they call it, "getting your Jollies."
Although it may not have seemed like such a great invention when you were failing your chemistry in high school, it's hard to discount Robert Boyle's creation of this multilayered scientific discipline. The uber-intelligent Munster native came up with the foundations of modern chemistry in 1661 when he published The Sceptical Chymist, an oddly spelled but influential tome that laid out his groundbreaking theory of elements as the undecomposable constituents of material bodies. Hundreds of years later, teenagers are still silently cursing his name as they desperately try to wrap their heads around his brilliantly obtuse ideas.
Although the Irish didn't invent the English language, it can be argued that they perfected it. From the searing satire of Jonathan Swift to the brilliant blather of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, Irish scribes have always displayed an enviable gift of gab. In the words of acclaimed author T.E. Kalem: "The English language brings out the best in the Irish. They court it like a beautiful woman. They make it bray with donkey laughter. They hurl it at the sky like a paint pot full of rainbows, and then make it chant a dirge for man's fate." For those of you keeping track at home, Irish writers won the Nobel Prize for Literature three times in the 20th century, which is a remarkable record for a tiny island nation boasting about 4,470,700 citizens.
Beer drinkers around the world owe a debt of gratitude to Arthur Guinness, the innovative Irish brew master whose delicious dry stout still bears his name. Guinness first began brewing ales in Leixlip before transferring his booming business to Dublin's St. James's Gate Brewery, where he signed an unprecedented 9,000-year lease at £45 per year. More than 250 years later, his famous "Pint of Plain" has become the best-selling alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland with sales exceeding €2 billion annually. Slainte!
Few icons from folklore and mythology have been branded and co-opted more than the leprechaun. Stories of their rare appearances and coveted pot of gold have permeated almost every aspect of popular culture. They have become so synonymous with Irish culture that the streets are filled with tall green hats and green coats every St. Patrick's Day. Their history, however, is far different from the traditional leprechauns that endlessly wander into bars and fight hangovers one weekend in March. Take a look at a few things you probably didn't know about leprechauns.
These days, it seems that even a toddler with a very loose grasp on the English language can identify a leprechaun thanks to its green clothes, red beard and short derby hat. Early Irish folklore, however, describes this mischievous being quite differently. According to the 1831 book 'Legends and Stories of Ireland' by Irish novelist Samuel Lover, Ireland's ancestors described leprechauns as short beings dressed in red who wore a "cocked hat" or a tri-cornered hat. So really you should be pinching your pals for not wearing a red sweater.
There seems to be a hole in the narrative of the leprechaun, besides the fact that the laws of biology, physics and tailoring prevent such creatures from even existing. According to the book 'A History of Irish Fairies,' there is no record in Irish folklore of leprechauns having a female counterpart in their ranks or even a solid record of how they procreate or reproduce. (Try to erase that image from your mind.) The book speculates that leprechauns are the offspring of fairies who were deemed "defective children…because of their shape and disposition."
The Irish isle may have popularized the legend of leprechaun, but they weren't the first to create stories about small people. Holland, for instance, has the "Kabouter," a small "gnome-like" creature that cobbles shoes (better known today as a "gnome"). The Isle of Man off the coast of the United Kingdom has the "fenodyree," a small, hairy, clumsy creature who would help farmers drive sheep and harvest crops.
Since leprechauns are embedded in Irish folklore and thousands of years old, it's hard to imagine someone in modern times or even in this century claiming to have seen one of the little buggers. The last legend, however, dates back to the year 1989. Pub owner P.J. O'Hare claimed to have seen one in the Irish town of Carlingford. According to the legend, he was selling some land when he heard a scream in a nearby well. He found a leprechaun's clothes and the bony remains of the creature and put them on display in his pub. The event has become so famous that it inspired an annual leprechaun hunt in the town. Of course, the townsfolk hunt for fake plastic leprechauns.
Of course, leprechaun legends and sightings aren't just limited to Ireland's shores (and no, we're not talking about the Alabama leprechaun). A small patch of carefully landscaped land sits in the middle of a road in Portland, Oregon, but it's not just roadside greenery to perk up a neighborhood street. It's actually a park dedicated to leprechauns. Local legend says that a reporter wrote a series of columns about the country's only leprechaun colony in 1947. The reporter, Dick Fagan, spotted one of the leprechauns digging a hole in the spot outside his window and captured it. He used his wish to get a park of his own, but the leprechaun tricked him and gave him the hole in the ground instead. The two-foot long patch of ground became an official city park in 1976 and serves as the epicenter of the town's St. Patrick's Day festivities.
Apparently, Sean Connery is so cool that he can get a leprechaun to grant him a wish without having to catch one. The Scottish actor starred in the classic 1959 Walt Disney film 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People' about an Irish storyteller who captures a leprechaun king and engages in a battle of wits with the little guy for his three wishes. Connery played the dashing leading man, Michael, who falls in love with Darby's daughter, Katie. According to the book 'The Films of Sean Connery,' Disney held an advanced screening at its Burbank studio with several movie producers in attendance including longtime 'Bond' film producer Albert R. Broccoli. Albert's wife, Dana, felt Connery had a certain sex appeal on screen that made him the perfect actor to fill 007's shoes and urged Albert to give him the role. It's surprising his catchphrase didn't become "Kiss me, I'm Bond."
Notre Dame might have a long tradition as the "Fighting Irish," but it doesn't date back to the school's founding. According to the university's archives, team names and mascots changed regularly throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries after local sports writers would use different nicknames to refer to the teams. Some of Notre Dame's early names included the Catholics, the Hoosiers, the Rockmen and the Bulldogs. They took on the "Fighting Irish" moniker in the 1920s, but switched again to the Terriers. Then in the 1960s, a human "leprechaun" joined the cheerleading squad during the game and the school stuck with the "Fighting Irish." They even released a new logo to meet their new mascot and have put a leprechaun on the sideline ever since. Apparently the leprechaun tryouts can be just as grueling and intense as the team practice.
Luck may not have been on the side of the makers of the schlocky 1993 horror movie starring Warwick Davis as a homicidal leprechaun trying to steal back his pot of gold, but it was with its female lead. The 'Friends' star made her big screen debut in the horror film that spawned five sequels including 'Leprechaun 4: In Space' and 'Leprechaun: In the Hood' where the evil green menace appeared opposite rappers Ice-T and Coolio. (When asked if she would like to apologize to the nation of Ireland for 'Leprechaun,' Aniston said, "I should've apologized? Didn't that punish me enough? Didn't my karma take care of it?")
Being the voice of an iconic cereal mascot in TV commercials may not sound like the work of a classically trained Shakespearian actor, but one of the industry's top voiceover artists was also one of the most acclaimed stage actors of his generation. Arthur Anderson, the man who voiced Lucky the Leprechaun for the Lucky Charms commercials for 29 years, is a longtime actor who started at the age of 12 on a CBS radio show and later joined Orson Welles' acclaimed theater group, the Mercury Theater. (He played Lucius in Welles' historic Broadway production of 'Julius Caesar' set against the fall of Nazi Germany.) Working with Welles helped Anderson build a career on stage, screen and television that has lasted well into his 80s. (Fun fact: Anderson's work with Welles served as the basis for the 2008 Richard Linklater film 'Me and Orson Welles' starring Zac Efron.) In addition to Lucky, Anderson was also the voice of Eustace Bagge on 'Courage the Cowardly Dog.' Will he come back for the new episodes?
Maybe the reason no one sees leprechauns anymore is because they are an endangered species. If that's the case, they are actually protected from destruction under European law. The Sliabh Foy Loop trail in the town of Carlingford, the same Irish town where P.J. O'Hare spotted his famous leprechaun, serves as the official protected land for the country's 236 remaining living leprechauns, according to a law filed with the European Union. The trail even has signs dotting the picturesque mountain landscape asking hikers to tread lightly in the heavily leprechaun-ized area. And warning to those in search of gold– according to the sign, "hunters and fortune seekers will be prosecuted."
On Tuesday afternoon, 31-year-old Robin Sandusky of Manhattan ordered a $6 kale salad at a restaurant called Guy and Gallard. And as she was eating it, she noticed something strange on her fork.
At first she thought it was a piece of asparagus, and was about to eat it . . . until she saw it had EYES and an ARM.
It turns out there was a SEVERED LIZARD HEAD . . . with one arm still attached . . . in her salad.
She took a photo and took the salad back, and the restaurant gave her a refund. But she's not planning on suing.
The manager of the restaurant says he has no idea how the lizard head got into the salad . . . or where the REST of the lizard's body is. Quote, "I've never heard of something like this. I've never even seen a lizard in New York."
Hey, listeners...really looking forward to this one! Reed will be on this Friday March 14th during the 9am hour. Here's his bio:
Back in the 1960s, I was the founder and lead member of the Milwaukee/Chicago-based band known as the "Destinations." We achieved initial recognition in 1965, by placing first in the Milwaukee Sentinel's "Battle of the Bands" competition, which encompassed the state of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Later, we were invited to perform at the engagement party for Lynda Johnson (daughter of President LBJ) and Charles Robb, which was held at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. While with the Destinations, I wrote, performed, and recorded the regional hit, "Hello Girl," the flip side of which was "With You." The 45, which coincidentally appears on the Destination label, was produced by the Robbs. "Hello Girl" rose to the Top 10 on regional recording charts. Back in that era, I performed and even recorded with a number of local groups, including Michael and the Messengers' 45, "Midnight Hour". On a weekly basis, I appeared on and co-hosted, along with the late Art Roberts (the legendary WLS radio deejay), the "Swinging Majority" TV show, broadcast over Chicago's WCIU-TV, Channel 26. I wrote a number of original tunes to perform on Art's program with the Destinations, as both the group's lead vocalist and lead guitarist.
Later, having left the Destinations to purse a solo career, I was privileged to work with the world-class Gospel singer, the beloved Mahalia Jackson, on a project known as "Give a Damn," designed to ease social tensions resulting from the 1967 riots in Chicago and other cities. Working with such show-business legends as Jimmy Durante, Dinah Shore, Della Reece, Robert Culp, and Jerry Butler, the performances were met with packed houses and overwhelming success in Chicago and New York.
I went on to join the ABC-TV/Filmation animated production of the "Hardy Boys" series, in which I performed the role of Frank Hardy. I recorded two albums with the Hardy Boys, "Here Come the Hardy Boys" and "Wheels."
I proceeded to become a member of the Grass Roots as the lead guitarist and vocalist. The Grass Roots, whose membership changed a number of times over the years, is well-known for such blockbuster hits as "Midnight Confession," "Temptation Eyes," "Where were you when I needed you," "Two divided by love," "Sooner or Later," and "Glory bound." For four years, 1970 through 1974, I crisscrossed America touring with the Grass Roots. You can hear me on the "Move Along" and "A Lot of Mileage" albums, as well as on the Grass Roots' "Anthology" and "Millennium" CDs. I am also credited on various Grass Roots compilation albums.
I was instrumental in forming the group that eventually became known as "Player," which released the smash hit, "Baby, Come Back" in 1976.
In 1977, I went off to New York to perform the role of Paul McCartney in Broadway's production of "Beatlemania" at the Winter Garden Theater.
In the early 1980s, I toured with Badfinger. The group at that time consisted of Tommy Evans, Mike Gibbons, Bob Jackson, Donny Dacus, and myself. My performances with Badfinger are recorded on two multi-CD sets (1982), "Live in Concert, DBA/BFR" and "Would the Real Badfinger Please Stand Up?" a Japanese import on the Westwood label.
I have co-written songs with Don Johnson and worked with music luminaries such as Kiki Dee, Mick Jagger, Harry Nilsson, and with John Lennon on one album. I've performed the vocals for a number of nationally-aired TV commercials, and have had the pleasure of meeting a number of performers as well as skilled technicians in the motion-picture industry. I've even worked in the front office of MCA Distribution, in charge of ordering for the entire company.

The series premiere of "Resurrection" got 13.9 million viewers. That was a huge ratings hit for ABC and it was the most-watched show last Sunday night.
The season finale of HBO's "True Detective" had 3.5 million viewers, which is great for a PAY cable channel. Once you factor in DVR users and re-runs, an estimated 11 million people watched the finale. Here are last week's top ten shows:
1. "The Big Bang Theory ", CBS, 18.1 million viewers.
2. "NCIS ", CBS, 17.9 million viewers.
3. Monday's episode of "The Voice ", NBC, 15.6 million viewers.
4. Tuesday's episode of "The Voice", NBC, 14.5 million viewers.
5. "NCIS: Los Angeles", CBS, 14.4 million viewers.
6. "Resurrection", ABC, 13.9 million viewers.
7. "The Walking Dead", AMC, 12.7 million viewers.
8. "Blue Bloods", CBS, 12 million viewers.
9. "The Millers", CBS, 11.6 million viewers.
10. "Criminal Minds", CBS, 11.4 million viewers.
Meanwhile, "American Idol" pulled 10.5 million viewers on Wednesday and 9.8 million on Thursday.
That's about five million less than what "The Voice" got this week.
(You'll find the Top 25 shows on cable and broadcast TV at Zap2It.com.)
They got breast implants, lip enhancements, and tattooed eyebrows. They also have skin peels together every week, tan on the same schedule, eat the exact same diet, do the exact same exercise, and wear the same clothes and shoes.
They seem happy with the results, and if you saw them your head probably would turn . . . but not in a good way. Because they don't look REAL.
Apparently getting CARTOONISH amounts of plastic surgery has that effect. So even though they're 28, the plastic surgery adds decades.
They say they're now even sharing a boyfriend . . .
Which is why using keywords is probably more important than you realize. So here are the top ten words and phrases you should and SHOULDN'T use.
The number one word you SHOULD use is . . . ACHIEVED. 52% of hiring managers said they like to see it on a resume.
The rest of the top ten goes: Improved . . . trained . . . managed . . . created . . . resolved . . . volunteered . . . influenced . . . increased . . . and decreased.
The top phrase you SHOULDN'T use is "best of breed" . . . which is a dog show term. We're not sure WHO would use that on a resume, but 38% of hiring managers said they'd probably reject someone who did. And we don't blame them.
The rest of the top ten phrases you SHOULDN'T use goes: Go-getter . . . think outside the box . . . synergy . . . go-to guy . . . thought leadership . . . value add . . . results-driven . . . team player . . . and bottom line.
Brett Favre has really cultivated a new look in retirement. We already knew he had been growing out a big beard, but who knew he was also working out like a madman?
A few people snapped pictures with Favre after meeting him at a conference in Orlando last week, and the former quarterback's new look was evident.
Favre's huge gray beard is even larger, bushier, and whiter, and he also is ripped like the incredible hulk. Dude has a giant vein going up his left forearm, almost like a piece of barbed wire embedded in his skin. His biceps look pretty massive too.
Goobye Brett Favre, hello Paul Bunyan.
"The 86th Academy Awards" got 43.7 million viewers. That was the highest-rated Oscars in 10 years.
Meanwhile, the 6th season premiere of NBC's "The Voice" returned to decent numbers, with 15.9 million tuning in on Monday. That dropped to 13 million for Tuesday's episode.
And the return of "The Blacklist" benefited from "The Voice" lead-in with 11.2 million viewers. Here are last week's top ten shows:
1. "The 86th Academy Awards", ABC, 43.7 million viewers.
2. "Oscars Red Carpet Live", ABC, averaged million viewers.
3. "Big Bang Theory", CBS, 17.7 million viewers.
4. "NCIS", CBS, 17 million viewers.
5. Monday's season premiere of "The Voice", NBC, 15.9 million viewers.

When Henry Wolf hopped on his BMW motorcycle to take a leisurely four-hour ride, he never imagined that the ridged seat would give him an epic erection that was still going strong 20 months later. Now he's suing BMW for lost wages, medical expenses, and mental and emotional distress. Since suffering from priapism (the medical term for a boner that just won't quit), Wolf has been "unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish," his lawyer stated in the lawsuit. No word yet from BMW, but apparently both the motorcycle and medical communities are baffled by Wolf's condition, since motorcycle seats are much more likely to cause a very different problem: impotence. Either way, be careful out there, bikers: those seats are definitely not working in your favor. [Yahoo News]

Cancelling F1 Would "Empower Extremists"-Bahrain Prince
Prince says Grand Prix a force for good; Says protests not aimed at Formula One
April 22, 2012 10:12 by kippreport
Cancelling Sunday's Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix would only "empower extremists", the country's Crown Prince told reporters on Friday as police in the small Gulf state battled to put down pro-democracy protests.
Prince Salman did not respond directly to questions about whether he could guarantee the safety of teams, however, saying instead that he was able to guarantee that the protests were not directed against Formula One.
Standing alongside Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone at the Sakhir circuit, the Crown Prince made it clear to the assembled TV crews that calls from home and abroad for the race to be scrapped would fall on deaf ears.
"I think cancelling the race just empowers extremists," he declared, without specifying exactly who he had in mind.
"For those of us trying to navigate a way out of this political problem, having the race allows us to build bridges across communities, to get people working together. It allows us to celebrate our nation. It is an idea that is positive, not one that is divisive."
The Prince's statement came after two of the 12 Formula One teams said their staff had seen protesters and petrol bombs on their way back from the track to hotels in Manama, the capital.
The Britain-based Force India team missed Friday's second practice session for safety reasons to ensure staff could get back to their hotels safely before nightfall. Two shaken team employees have already left the country.
Bahrain's ruling al-Khalifa family, a Sunni Muslim dynasty ruling a majority Shi'ite population, is struggling to quell a wave of protests by Shi'ite youths unhappy about what they say is preferential treatment for Sunni Muslims in everything from housing to jobs.
The government hopes to use the Grand Prix to show that life in the small Gulf state is getting back to normal after pro-democracy activists launched an Arab Spring-inspired uprising last year.
The protests were initially crushed, but were not stamped out; demonstrations and clashes are frequent.
F1 teams, who started their race preparations on Friday, have been rattled by the violence. Sauber said their mechanics had seen masked people with fire bombs on the highway on Thursday evening.
But Ecclestone played down the concerns in typical fashion, telling reporters earlier that Force India may have been targeted for a reason that had nothing to do with the race, suggesting that the media were enjoying the situation.
"It's a lot of nonsense. You guys love it. What we really need is an earthquake or something like that now so you can write about that," declared the 81-year-old billionaire.
He could not call off the race even if he wanted to, he added, because "it's nothing to do with us, the race. We have an agreement to be here, and we're here. The national sporting authority in this country can call the race off."
Almost lost from view among a crush of photographers and reporters, Ecclestone said the decision to go ahead had "given the protesters an incredible platform for all you guys to talk to them."
The Crown Prince said it was important that the race, the first in Bahrain since 2010 after last year's was cancelled following a bloody crackdown on the uprising, went ahead.
Asked about calls from British politicians for the race to be scrapped, he said the appeals did not reflect British public opinion as a whole.
"I think this race should continue because it is indeed a very big event for this country, it is important economically, socially. Political parties from across the whole spectrum, both conservative and opposition, have welcomed the race," he said.
Pro-democracy activists have said they plan to hold a series of 'days of rage' to coincide with the Grand Prix.

Seattle U - APNI 2013 - page 19
Hello everyone - this is my second time applying. A month ago, I bombed the interview! If this is your first time applying, there's a world of information from previous years, especially from the 2012 thread where we reached... Read More
0Feb 13, '13 by conniferousWow, I am so glad I decided to check this thread today! I wanted to lay off reading the posts because I get soooo anxious when I read them. It looks like they're getting super close to contacting us! Thanks to Hawaii for the update!
0Thanks Stephanina. Your response was more direct than what they gave to me. Well people, it seems that things are about to start shaking. Good luck to EVERYONE! It is clear that we all want to be at SU. Please let us all know right away if you get an invite. I'm still thinking that those applying to the FNP track will be the last to know (fingers crossed that isn't the case), but it would still be nice to know when the emails actually start going out.
0Feb 13, '13 by icelind, CNAAs the response time has been increasing I feel like I'm psyching myself out, I'm not very confident now that I'm going to get an interview...anyone else in the same boat?
0I am DEFINITELY in the same boat. Even knowing that emails have not quite gone out yet (or are just beginning to go out now), I have this sense of foreboding. I am waging psychological warfare on myself and I know it, but can't seem to help worrying a little. My confidence is beginning to wane. I'm right there with you.Last edit by Hawaii808 on Feb 13, '13
1Feb 13, '13 by icelind, CNAOkay, I'm glad we're in the same boat! I just want to know so I can get on with the rest of my life! lol
0Feb 13, '13 by FinnCatInstead of going to the gym, I diverted to my neighborhood bar. So yes I feel nervous. But we all have to realize that committees make random and arbitrary decisions. They are not going to invite the best set of candidates to interview. Beyond some objective criteria that most of us meet, there are a multitude of subjective factors that we cannot control. But I have no doubt that each of you, regardless of the program or when it will happen, will make damn good NPs.

You know those Nike Air Force 1 styles currently floating around that go with a very obvious "Blazer" inspiration? It appears as if the Nike Dunk High is doing the same. Shown here is the shoe dressed up in a similar suede, along with a bellied Swoosh shaped like the one found on that ancient basketball sneaker from the Beaverton team. Stay with us through the click for this first look at the shoe and keep your eyes peeled to see if there's a chance of more Nike Dunk High styles joining this one with the Blazer look.

Gotta admit, I slacked again in the area of posting to SP ... (and I had computer issues)...BUT I DID maintain a healthy level of calories while I was away, at least.
So two other SP "wanderers" (lol) and I challenged each other to 'come home' within 48 hours. We are to post 1 blog, sign each other's wall, and track at least one meal to get going again.
Here I am, Ladies: I'll be looking for you within the next 36 hours. Clock's ticking... just sayin'...
(I'm glad to have accountability partners in life. Thanks for my friends, Lord!)
I think it was Editor...yes, I'm sure it was, in one of her Lenten Diet devotionals recently...
She said, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" That really stuck out to me! I've been telling myself that every time I feel tempted to cheat. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Overall, I think it is the best motivation I have ever heard.
Recently, I modified it just a bit (apologies, Friend...) I tell myself, "That doesn't taste nearly as good as you would like to look in a few months... So, which would you rather have? You can only choose one or the other!" And sometimes it works... at other times it doesn't.
I've come to the conclusion that human motivation is just not enough sometimes. It really IS a spiritual battle! The immaterial part of me wants to be free, but the flesh is demanding and weak. The apostle Paul himself struggled with this issue of the flesh. He said, "I keep under my body and bring it into subjection..." Oh, I wish I could say that as well. Until then,
I will make it more a matter of prayer to resist, to exercise, and to gain control of the flesh that keeps my spirit imprisoned. ...and I will keep telling myself, "NOTHING tastes as good as skinny feels (or looks!)" Great idea, Sparkfriend. Thanks for the movtivation once again!
Thank God for moms :) Mine lives in the apartment attached to my house. Tonight she surprised the kids with pizza since my husband was working late and she wanted to spare me another night of cooking! What a dear :)
...And what a test! My brain just doesn't "know when to say 'when' " in regards to pizza...
But tonight, I actually stopped at two pieces, and I stayed within my calorie limit for the day.
Know what helped? Before I ate it, I tracked all my food for the day and found out what I could afford. You might say, it's like budgeting. If the calories aren't there, we can't afford to spend them, right? (Love, love, LOVE that tracking device on SP!)
The leftoevers sure do look good, but I'm looking beyond them at the "me" that I want to see this summer... I'd rather have my goal than a bit of chewy, cheesy, salty hot goodness... (OH, I have to stop thinking about this!)
Thank you, Spark People!! Your program works!
Well, I did it... I let the spark go out... But not for long~~
After an out-of-the-routine week and a birthday, I found myself not wanting to log in and record meals eaten... Not only was it going to be a disappointing total, but also it would have taken WAaayyyy too long to record every little thing!! LOL
Well meaning, loving people brought all the wrong things into the house to celebrate with me: Chinese everything, New York style cheesecake... all my favorites! Of course, the leftovers screamed my name from inside the fridge for days... I HAD to get them out of there. Unfortunately, they didn't leave the house, but rather ended up on my plate... :(
Ok, this is a new day, a new week, and and new year (51st)... Time to start again and make my new eating preferences better known. I will encourage those around me to offer me healthier choices, and I will limit my deviation from the plan to very small amounts.
That's the plan. Will it work? I believe so. One thing I know for SURE, is that without a plan, it definitely WON'T work.
Let's get back up and try again...
What a crazy day! Seems I ran to meet deadlines from sun-up 'til sun-down! Our church hosted a dinner for a family after a funeral today. As I set the desserts out on the serving tables, a pecan pie caught my eye... Definitely one of my favorites!
It was just about all I could do, but I walked away, and settled for a cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer instead! 70 calories vs. hundreds... pretty good trade off, I think :)
Although most of the "comfort food" was fried or buttered, or in some way laden with calories, I found that simple moderation was possible. Very small portions of the "bad" stuff and a hearty helping of tossed salad was actually very satisfying. I'm starting to see changes in taste and preferences... I'm so happy with that change!
Can't say enough good about this program and the wonderful team mates that keep me on track! I tell everyone I talk to about SP. It's SO helpful!

Spooner had entered two pleas to the homicide charge: not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. That set up the trial to be conducted in two phases: the first to determine whether he was guilty of the homicide, and if so, a second to determine whether he was mentally competent at the time.
While Spooner didn't deny what he did, he had a hard time explaining to the prosecutor why he did it.
When Williams asked if he took the safety off the gun because he wanted to kill the boy, Spooner said he didn't know. Williams asked why Spooner fired a second time and Spooner again said he didn't know.
Finally, Williams asked whether Spooner felt bad about taking Darius' life.
"Not that bad," he replied softly.

Within your subconscious depths lie infinite wisdom, infinite power, and an infinite supply of all that is necessary.Joseph Murphy
We seek pitifully to convey to others the treasures of our heart, but they have not the power to accept them, and so we go lonely, side by side but not together, unable to know our fellows and unknown by them.William Somerset Maugham
There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Leadership is mostly a power over imagination, and never more so than in combat. The bravest man alone can only be an armed lunatic. The real strength lies in the ability to get others to do your work.Lois McMaster Bujold
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.Fawn McKay Brodie
When you have an enemy in your power, deprive him of the means of ever injuring you.Napolon Bonaparte
Power is founded upon opinion.Napolon Bonaparte
A world marked by so much injustice, innocent suffering, and cynicism of power cannot be the work of a good God.Pope Benedict XVI
Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.James Baldwin
Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.Francis Bacon
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.Francis Bacon
Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.Susan Brownell Anthony Jacob
Only He who has the power to punish can pardon.Ali bin Abu-Talib
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.Susan Polis Schutz
Well, anybody who cannot embrace the power of Internet is just limiting themselves.Wiz Khalifa
A person who is worthy of being a leader wants power not for himself, but in order to be of service.US Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.Publius Syrus
Your positions of authority, your millions of dollars of personal wealth, your public relations consultants, your privilege and your power cannot mask the hollowness of your character.Tomas Young
Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.Paulo Coelho
Words have the power to release pent-up emotions as well as to define them in rational and meaningful terms.Jeffrey Cohen
He who never looks up to a living God, to a heavenly presence, loses the power of perceiving that presence, and the universe slowly turns into a dead machine, clashing and grinding on, without purpose or end. If the light within us be darkness, how great is that darkness!James Freeman Clarke
Democracy elects men totally lacking in scruples, without any morals; those who will pay better, thus those with a higher power of corruption; magicians, charlatans, demagogues, who will excel in their fields during the electoral campaign. Several good men would be able to slip through among them, even politicians of good faith. But they would be the slaves of the former.Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
Knowledge, having irritated and stimulated our appetite for power, will lead us inexorably to our ruin.Emil Cioran

Pyxis (almost) nightmares. PLEASE be careful.
- 11The Pyxis is a touchscreen, and we all know how sensitive touchscreens can be. Plus, there are many ways to go about pulling the med for the patient. Search by pt name, search by bed number, search by generic name, search by brand name, etc.
I've always been extra careful with the Pyxis for that reason. At the top of the screen (in smaller letters than it should be, IMHO), it shows the name of the patient and the med that you are pulling. PLEASE look at it carefully!
A few times when I was pulling, the wrong patient name came up because I must have touched the wrong name. Once I get to the med, the wrong med name has come up for the same reason.
I was waiting in line with a co-worker, and she was pulling a narc. I just so happened to look at the screen right before she hit exit, and I realized she had pulled sux instead. (The patient had been intubated during the hospital stay, so it came up as a previously administered med, and she must have accidently hit that one.)
I stopped her immediately, she looked at what she had in her hand, and she turned ashen. The bedside five rights may have stopped her before giving it to the patient, but we never know what our co-workers practice habits are, unfortunately.
The Pyxis is convenient and it helps ensure correct billing. It has its flaws as the above story can attest.
One time, however, it saved me and my coworker.
At my place of employment, floats, registry, and agency do not have access to our Pyxis, so someone has to pull for them. I volunteered to pull a narc for a float recently. She told me the name of the narc, but I didn't look at the MAR she had in her hand (my mistake, from which I learned). When the list of previously administered meds for the patient came up, the narc she told me had never been pulled, but another one had. We rechecked the MAR, found that she misread the name, and we pulled the right one. She apologized profusely to me, but the important thing is we caught it.
Just thought I would share as a lesson I learned from.
- 2Jul 21, '12 by blondy2061h, MSN, RNA lot of my patients, being a specialty area, are all on the same meds. I've gotten to like the 6th med I had to pull before realizing I was under the wrong name.
- 1Jul 21, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNyou can give this feedback to the pharmacy, who signs the contract for the pyxis, and they will pass it on, or you can contact pyxis directly and tell them.

tel: 800.727.6102
- 1Thank you, Grn Tea. A relatively simple reprogram of the Pyxis could help. Once you choose a patient or a med, it could ask you to confirm pt or med in BIG LETTERS right in the middle of the screen. Having both at the top in small letters is a problem, IMO.
- 1Jul 21, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNtell 'em. it's always been my experience that manufacturers are pretty receptive to nursing feedback, assuming you're not doing something completely off the wall. this does sound like an easy fix to avoid a lot of problems, so they should be able to adjust the resolution on the screen or the letter size or add the confirmation in big letters, whatever is easiest.
- 1Jul 21, '12 by tokmom, BSNPyxis isn't foolproof, that's for sure! We have bedside scanning and I'm thankful for it!
- 2Jul 22, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorMachines are falliable the is why you must do the 5 "R's" prior to administration as you look at the patients arm band and MAR.
- 1Jul 22, '12 by Liddle Noodnik GuideI like the idea of having to confirm, IN BIG LETTERS ... each person, each drug. maybe seems redundant but in this case redundant is GOOD!
- 2Jul 22, '12 by CapeCodMermaid, RNHow big are the letters on the MAR? The pyxis is only a tool. And, just because we don't already have enough to think about, the 5 rights are now 7...the right to know what the medication is for and the right to refuse.

I used two different kinds of Core'dinations Cardstock and a cuttlebug embossing folder to resemble a stained glass window effect and twisted black thread coming through to look like spider webs – very creepy, no? The 'window' together with the stylish black and white patterned paper finish off this creepy chic page. I placed the whole matt on blue cardstock as I didn't want it to be the traditional Halloween colors!
