BROOKVILLE ŌĆö Those who were closest to him said Connor Gerg could make friends with anyone.
This was especially true at school and at the Brookville YMCA, Tina Householder said, where Connor spent most of his time.
"Although I wasn't in school with him, I saw that he had such a gift of being friends with everybody," Householder said. "And he often helped the underdog. He was such a kind, kind kid."
Sunday, Feb. 19, the Brookville YMCA is hosting Share the Love, a run/walk event to honor the life Connor lived.
Martha Lillian Costanzo, 98, of Derry, and formerly of Punxsutawney, died Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, in the Bethlen Home, Ligonier.
She was born June 26, 1913, in Punxsutawney, a daughter of the late Evritt and Lillie Bell Weiss Dunn.
She was married to Frank A. Costanzo, who preceded her in death.
Mrs. Costanzo was a member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Derry.
Surviving relatives include two sons, William J. Costanzo and wife Virginia of Derry, and Charles E. Costanzo and wife Lee of Birmingham, Ala.; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
Lois L. Dinger, 77, Brookville, died Friday, Feb. 10, 2012, at Jefferson Manor, Brookville.
She was born Feb. 19, 1934, in Dora, a daughter of the late Reed Ernest and Hazel Lucetta (Geist) Kunselman.
Nov. 15, 1952, in Jefferson County, she married Harold E. Dinger, who preceded her in death Aug. 23, 1998.
Mrs. Dinger was a homemaker and a member of the Calvary Church of the Nazarene, Brookville, where she was active in church affairs.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Unfortunately for the Punxsy Chucks junior high wrestling team members, they knew entering Wednesday night's match against St. Marys that they would have to perform flawlessly to defeat the Dutch, earning pins in every bout due to six classes the Chucks would have to forfeit.
While Punxsy didn't win on the scoreboard, the Chucks took to the mats with fury and picked up wins in seven of the eight bouts that took place, making what could have been a blowout a close match at 42-31.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Despite outscoring Ridgway 19-10 in the second half, Punxsy's ninth-grade basketball team was unable to overcome a 15-2 Elkers' halftime lead Thursday afternoon in Punxsutawney, and the Chucks fell, 25-21.
"Being down 13 at halftime, we came out, made some adjustments, worked their zone and almost came back for the win," Punxsy head coach Brandon Krug said after the game. "The kids played hard, but that first half was the difference. If we play harder in the first half, we win that game."
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Police seized heroin, crack cocaine, cash and more in a search of a South Main Street residence where two men were also taken into custody Thursday morning.
Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police said the Troop C Vice Unit executed a search warrant at the residence at 6:05 a.m. Thursday as the result of an undercover drug investigation.
Taken into custody were Kenneth Edward Ball, 60, Punxsy, and Aaron Albert Meanor, 28, Pittsburgh.
BROOKVILLE ŌĆö Since its inception, the Jefferson County Area Agency on Aging (JCAAA) has tried to provide county residents with resources that would allow them to stay in their homes longer.
But for the agency to continue to be a vital asset to the countyŌĆÖs older citizens, it is seeking help from one specific source ŌĆö the countyŌĆÖs oldest resident.
ŌĆ£I think thereŌĆÖs so much history out there that we need to embrace,ŌĆØ JCAAA Executive Director Randy Davis said. ŌĆ£We want to ask, ŌĆśHowŌĆÖd you make it? HowŌĆÖd you get there?ŌĆÖ We want to know the secrets to his or her success.ŌĆØ
Clair R. Shaffer, 96, DuBois, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012, at his home.
He was born June 14, 1915, in DuBois, a son of the late Harvey and Martha (Horn) Shaffer.
He was married to Dora (Waite) Shaffer, who preceded him in death Feb. 29, 1980.
Mr. Shaffer was a retired self-employed farmer.
He served in the U.S. Army and received a Purple Heart for his service in World War II.
He was Methodist by faith and a member of the Reynoldsville American Legion and Reynoldsville Eagles. He enjoyed farming and hunting.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö When the starting lineups were announced Wednesday night at PAHS, it appeared as if the Punxsy Chucks wrestling team would be at a severe disadvantage with three scheduled forfeits and two regulars out of the lineup. But Punxsy shuffled the lineup around and managed to pull off a surprising 39-30 victory over St. Marys in Punxsutawney.
"I'm really proud of the way these guys wrestled tonight," Punxsy head coach Eric Eddy said after the match. "We didn't give up a bunch of pins where we couldn't afford to, and it was just a great team effort."
Unlike last year, when my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl, the team I was cheering for this season was actually victorious.
Of course, I wasn't as emotionally invested in this year's game, but there were definitely a few reasons I was cheering for the New York Giants over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.

New York Post Gives Anthony Weiner a Fake Wall Street Job
Source: NYMAG.COM
The New York Post reported this morning that pre-Snapchat sexter and former U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner was going to Wall Street. Citing "sources," the Post reported that Weiner has landed a part-time gig as "a consultant at Concept Capital Markets, a Madison Avenue brokerage firm." That's news to Robert E. Moore, the CEO of Concept Capital Markets, who told us he's never met Weiner and hasn't offered him any kind of job. "We've never met him, never talked to him, never seen him," Moore said. "We don't know how that story started." Moore sent a memo to his employees this morning, calling the Post's story "inaccurate," and saying: "Concept Capital Markets has not engaged former congressman Anthony Weiner."

6. Why doesn't he just run for something? I never understand this
if he wants to serve, why doesn't he just do it?
You know, Jerry Brown was Governor. He ran for President. Then he found smaller positions to fill so he could just serve the people. He didn't whine, he just did. A mayor job here, a AG job there. So why doesn't Weiner just take a position somewhere? to serve is what is important, the title is not. He already could have run for assembly or fill out some position or other, then run for the house again, or something else. Same with Spitzer Run for the election board. Move to VA and run there. Being that his wife is most likely going to do something in Hillary's administration in 2017, find a small position and by then work his way back up. After all, in 2014, there are only a few dozen seats we need to win that are currently red, you mean there is not one somewhere he could fill, and win? Surely there is some place he could win something at. Nothing is stopping him, should he actually want to serve the people and act like a good adult and not a spoiled brat teen. |

Thursday's Army All American updates
El Dorado defensive tackle Bijhon Jackson leads a Wildcats defensive unit that has held opponents to 20.5 points and 312.4 yards per game and posted two shutouts this season.
SAN ANTONIO The West team practiced from 10:30 to about noon today and are now finished with preparation for Saturday's Army All American game.
The practice mostly half speed but Arkansas defensive line commitment Bijhon Jackson continued to impress people with his power. He pushed one offensive lineman into the backfield on one play.
He and defensive end Solomon Thomas saw a lot of action together and will probably be in the same rotation on Saturday. Jackson and Thomas called the Hogs after today's practice. CLICK HERE
Offensive tackle Brian Wallace of St. Louis Christian Brothers showed off his quick feet again in today's practice. His athleticism and length give him a chance to be a very special player at the next level.
Pretty slow day overall with the short practice.
Registration for the combine being held on Friday will wrap up at 4:30 today. Several in-state and out-of-state prospects on Arkansas' radar will be participating.
Sophomore RB Denzel Mitchell of Jonesboro
Junior WR K.J. Hill of North Little Rock

From the Second Department of Surgery, Chiba University School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan.
Hypothesis Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a high-risk factor for biliary tract carcinogenesis because of a continuous reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract. It remains to be disclosed whether we should perform prophylactic excision of gallbladders and bile ducts.
Design A person-year method.
Setting A university hospital.
Patients We studied 68 patients with PBM treated between August 1, 1974, and December 31, 1999.
Main Outcome Measures Relative risks (observed number–expected number ratios) of gallbladder and bile duct carcinomas according to type of bile duct dilation (ie, cystic dilation, diffuse dilation, and nondilation).
Results Observed number–expected number ratios of gallbladder carcinomas were high: 291.3 in 43 patients with cystic dilation, 167.2 in 16 patients with diffuse dilation, and 419.6 in 7 patients with nondilation. Observed number–expected number ratios of bile duct carcinomas were 194.2 in 43 patients with cystic dilation before surgery and 142.8 in 39 patients with cystic dilation after long postsurgical follow-up. All these values were statistically significant (P<.01).
Conclusions The gallbladder carries a high risk for carcinogenesis in all types of dilation in patients with PBM. The bile duct carcinomas of PBM were exclusively identified by the type of cystic dilation. Prophylactic cholecystectomy should be recommended for all dilation types, and prophylactic excision of bile ducts including cholecystectomy should be performed in patients with PBM and cystic dilation. Complete excision of extrahepatic dilated bile ducts and careful follow-up for carcinogenesis in residual dilated bile ducts should be recommended for patients with PBM and cystic dilation.
IT IS WELL KNOWN that choledochal cysts are frequently associated with biliary tract carcinoma.1,2 Choledochal cysts are usually accompanied by anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal junction, for which the term "pancreaticobiliary maljunction" (PBM) is commonly used in Japan. As a clinical entity, PBM has commonly been accepted as the cause and pathogenesis of carcinoma of the biliary tracts.3,4 Reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract due to PBM has been considered a major risk factor for the development of biliary tract carcinogenesis in patients with PBM.5
Some patients with PBM have normal common bile ducts (nondilation type), and it is still unclear whether bile duct carcinoma develops even in those nondilation bile ducts.6 In this study, we classified patients with PBM into 3 types according to the complication of choledochal dilation: cystic dilation, diffuse dilation, and nondilation. Although the Todani classification of types of bile duct dilation has been widely accepted, we applied the simple classification described in the previous sentence, which is frequently used in Japan. The aims of this study were to clarify the frequent carcinogenic sites of biliary tracts according to the type of bile duct dilation present and to disclose the significance of prophylactic excision of gallbladders and bile ducts in patients with PBM.
We studied 68 patients with PBM who underwent excision of extrahepatic bile ducts by hepaticojejunostomy or cholecystectomy between August 1, 1974, and December 31, 1999, at the Second Department of Surgery, Chiba University Hospital, Chiba, Japan. Pancreaticobiliary maljunction is defined in Japan as a congenital anomaly in which the union of the pancreatic and biliary ducts is outside the duodenal wall, with an obviously long common channel, or exists in an apparently anomalous form.7 Confirmation is usually made by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.
We classified PBM into 3 types—cystic dilation, diffuse dilation, and nondilation—according to the complication of choledochal dilation using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiographic findings. Although the Todani classification of bile duct dilation types has been widely accepted, it includes rare types such as types II, III, IV-B, and V. Therefore, we applied the simple classification, which had been commonly used in Japan. The nondilation type was defined as having a maximum choledochus diameter of less than 10 mm and the other 2 types were defined as having a maximum diameter greater than 10 mm. The cystic dilation type was defined as having a ratio of maximum to portal minimum choledochal diameter greater than 2 and the diffuse dilation type was defined as having a ratio of less than 2. The diffuse dilation type included 16 patients with spindlelike or cylinderlike choledochus (Todani type Ic). Of 68 patients with PBM, 43 had cystic dilation (Todani type Ia [n = 23] or IV-A [n = 20]), 16 had diffuse dilation (Todani type Ic), 7 had nondilation, and 2 had unknown types.8
We analyzed the relative risk of bile duct carcinoma (gallbladder and bile duct carcinomas) in patients with PBM using the person-year method.9,10 Relative risk was calculated as the observed number–expected number (O/E) ratio, where the expected number was obtained from the standardized morbidity rate (SMR) and the observation period.11 The observation periods were the intervals between birth and the operation for the presurgery group and between the operation and the final day of observation for the postsurgery group. These periods were recorded between January 1, 1974, and December 31, 1999. Therefore, the beginning point of observation in the presurgery group was January 1, 1974, or birth day after January 1, 1974, and the ending point in the postsurgery group was the final day of observation, including day of death, before December 31, 1999, or during December 31, 1999. The SMR was obtained in each sex and age class for every 5 years for the general population in the central area of Chiba Prefecture in Japan (from the Annual Report of the Cancer Registration Project of Chiba Prefecture). The expected numbers were calculated as follows: product = (total observation period of each observed PBM patient in each sex and age class) × (the SMR of biliary tract carcinoma in the central area of Chiba Prefecture in each corresponding sex and age class). Because gallbladder and bile duct carcinoma were registered together in one category in the Annual Report, the SMR and expected numbers were calculated as biliary tract carcinoma involving gallbladder carcinoma and bile duct carcinoma, and the SMR and expected numbers were the same values in every dilation group. The expected number is considered to be the number of patients with biliary tract carcinoma (gallbladder carcinoma plus bile duct carcinoma) if patients with PBM had the same morbidity rate as the general population. The significance of the relative risk to the general population was tested by Poisson distribution. The level of statistical significance was defined as P<.05.
Pathohistologic examinations of excised gallbladders and bile ducts were performed in all patients. Confirmation of bile duct carcinoma was made by pathologists at our hospital (Chiba University Hospital, Chiba, Japan) using surgical or autopsy specimens. We classified the pathological stages of gallbladder carcinoma according to the 1997 TNM classification of malignant tumors of the International Union Against Cancer.12
Three (7%) of 43 patients with cystic dilation, 5 (31%) of 16 patients with diffuse dilation, and 6 (86%) of 7 patients with nondilation had gallbladder carcinoma. The expected number of biliary tract carcinomas was calculated as 0.0103 in 43 patients with cystic dilation, 0.0299 in 16 with diffuse dilation, and 0.0143 in 7 with nondilation by means of the person-year method using the SMR of residents of Chiba Prefecture. Therefore, the relative risk (O/E ratio) of gallbladder carcinoma was as high as 291.3 in 43 patients with cystic dilation, 167.2 in 16 with diffuse dilation, and 419.6 in 7 with nondilation.
Two (5%) of 43 patients with cystic dilation had bile duct carcinoma before surgery (O/E ratio, 194.2). Three (8%) of 39 patients with cystic dilation had bile duct carcinoma after primary surgery (O/E ratio, 142.8). All these values were statistically significant (P<.01). Because 1 patient had carcinomas of the gallbladder and bile duct synchronously, the number of patients with tumor-free PBM was 39 in primary surgery. All of these bile duct carcinomas could be identified on cystic-dilated walls in patients with PBM. The 3 patients with postoperative bile duct carcinoma developed carcinomas in residual dilated bile ducts 19 years 6 months, 8 years 8 months, and 2 years 5 months after surgery. All 5 patients with bile duct carcinoma had type IV-A cystic dilation using the Todani classification.
Table 1 shows the pathological stages, operative methods, and prognoses in 14 patients with gallbladder carcinoma. In the cystic dilation group, 2 of 3 patients had gallbladder carcinoma as highly advanced as stage IVB and died within 2 years 2 months of surgery because of tumor growth. In the diffuse dilation group, 3 of 5 patients had gallbladder carcinoma as advanced as stages III and IVA; 2 of them died within 2 years of surgery because of tumor growth. On the other hand, in the nondilation group, 5 of 6 patients had gallbladder carcinoma at the relatively early stage II. Two patients underwent cholecystectomy alone and remain free from recurrence.
Table 2 shows the prognoses of 4 patients who underwent cholecystectomy only.
All patients other than those who underwent cholecystectomy only underwent bile duct excision with cholecystectomy. Table 3 shows the cancer stages and sites in 5 patients with bile duct carcinoma. Patient 1, a 50-year-old woman, developed carcinoma in the middle of the common bile duct (stage II [T2]) and also in the gallbladder (patient 1 in Table 1). Because of cancer surface spreading for intrapancreas bile duct, pancreaticoduodenectomy was carried out with hepaticojejunostomy. The postoperative pathohistologic examination revealed adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the common bile duct and gallbladder. Patient 2, a 55-year-old woman, generated carcinoma in the upper segment of the common bile duct that invaded the intrahepatic bile duct wall. Multiple liver and peritoneal metastases were revealed during surgery, and the patient died 4 months later (stage IVB [M1]).
Patients 3, 4, and 5 developed carcinomas in the residual dilated bile ducts 19 years 6 months, 8 years 8 months, and 2 years 5 months after surgery, respectively. These 3 patients had no history of abdominal surgery. Patient 3, a woman aged 35 years at the time of hepaticojejunostomy, was admitted to the hospital 19 years 6 months after Roux-en-hepaticojejunostomy with symptoms of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis and subsequently died of septic shock. The autopsy disclosed that the undifferentiated adenocarcinoma originated in the hilar bile duct, with liver and lung metastases (stage IVB [M1]). Patient 4, a woman aged 24 years at the time of the first jejunal interposition, underwent a second exploratory operation 8 years 8 months after the jejunal interposition because obstructive cholangitis was generated by the tumor mass in the bile duct of the hilar area in which cystic dilation occurred: the pathological finding was then revealed as adenocarcinoma (stage IVA [T4]). Patient 5, a woman aged 18 years at the time of jejunal interposition, was admitted to the hospital 2 years 5 months after jejunal interposition with symptoms of pneumonia; she died of respiratory failure. The autopsy disclosed that undifferentiated adenocarcinoma originated in the bile duct of a left lobe, with direct invasion to the lungs and heart (stage IVB [M1]).
Gallbladder carcinoma is frequently detected in patients with PBM with and without choledochal dilation.6,13 In the present study, the incidence of gallbladder carcinoma in patients with PBM was 291.3 times higher in the cystic dilation, 167.2 times higher in the diffuse dilation, and 419.6 times higher in the nondilation group than in the general population. Because of the high frequency of gallbladder carcinoma, we should affirm the necessity of prophylactic cholecystectomy for patients with PBM. The incidence of gallbladder carcinoma was high in the nondilation group (6 of 7 patients) and 419.6 times higher than in the general population, perhaps because PBM could be diagnosed in most patients in the cystic dilation and diffuse dilation groups by means of identification of dilated choledochus, using ultrasonography and after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, whereas, in all patients in the nondilation group in this study, PBM was detected by the findings of elevated lesions in gallbladders and after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The remaining patient had adenomyomatosis in the gallbladder, and we have never primarily detected PBM in patients with nondilation. There might have been latent PBM cases of nondilation without elevated lesions in the gallbladder, which could not be identified by screening tests such as ultrasonography. Therefore, the actual number of patients with PBM and nondilation would be higher.
In this study, all 5 bile duct carcinomas were identified in patients with PBM and cystic dilation, which were classified as type IV-A dilation according to the Todani classification (Table 3). The frequency of bile duct carcinoma in PBM of a cystic dilation type was 194.2 times as high as in the general population. Pancreaticobiliary maljunction with cystic dilation is prone to complications such as cholangitis, biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, lithiasis, rupture, and pancreatitis.14- 16 For these reasons, we should accept the necessity for the excision of extrahepatic bile ducts in PBM with cystic dilation. A reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract due to PBM has been considered an important factor in the development of biliary tract carcinogenesis in patients with PBM. We excised extrahepatic bile ducts with hepaticojejunostomy mainly in cases of choledochal dilation with PBM. We consider this surgery valuable as a separation operation to terminate mixture of the bile and pancreatic juice. However, as we previously reported,11 the incidence of bile duct carcinoma is still high, even after the excision of extrahepatic bile ducts in patients with PBM and cystic dilation. The refluxed pancreatic juice might have played an important role in the histological change of cystic-dilated walls to the precancerous stage, leading to bile duct carcinoma after long-term dormancy.17 In the present study, the postoperative incidence of bile duct carcinoma was 142.8 times higher in patients with PBM and cystic dilation than in the general population.
As presented in Table 3, the bile duct carcinoma of patients with PBM developed in the cystic-dilated walls. It is possible to excise extrahepatic bile ducts in primary prophylactic surgery. Therefore, we should completely excise extrahepatic dilated bile ducts in patients with PBM and cystic dilation. However, in patients such as patient 5 (Table 3) who develop cancer in the intrahepatic dilated bile duct of the left lobe, it is impossible for us to resect the hepatic lobe as a prophylactic operation. Long-term careful follow-up is necessary in such patients.
In Japan, there has been discussion about the excision of extrahepatic bile ducts in PBM without choledochal dilation because of the low frequency of its coexistence with bile duct carcinoma, despite the reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract due to PBM.6 In this study, we could not find enough evidence to support the propriety of excision of extrahepatic bile ducts in patients without cystic dilation because we did not observe bile duct carcinoma cases other than the cystic dilation type of PBM. Four patients with PBM underwent cholecystectomy only (Table 2). One patient had the diffuse dilation type and the other 3 had the nondilation type. One year 6 months, 3 years 7 months, 7 years 2 months, and 12 years 3 months passed without any tumorigenesis or symptoms in these patients after the primary cholecystectomy, although cholecystectomy on its own does not terminate the reflux of pancreatic juice. The results show that there were no cases of bile duct carcinoma in patients with PBM and diffuse dilation or nondilation and that postoperative PBM cases after cholecystectomy did not provide us with a positive approach to the excision of bile ducts in patients with PBM without cystic dilation. Complications are not unusual in the hepaticojejunostomy of normal choledochus, and most patients with PBM are relatively young. Therefore, cholecystectomy might be applicable for PBM without bile duct dilation, given enough information about the importance of follow-up. If minimally invasive imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography are further developed to reveal anomalous PBM, more PBM cases of nondilation will be found, even in patients without any clinical symptoms or findings. Cholecystectomy, especially laparoscopic cholecystectomy, might be recommended for patients with newly detected PBM of nondilation type to decrease the incidence of gallbladder carcinoma. Prognoses of gallbladder carcinoma are poor.18
In conclusion, first, we should affirm the necessity of prophylactic cholecystectomy in all PBM cases with or without choledochal dilation. Second, we should focus our attention on carcinogenesis of cystic-dilated bile duct walls and the gallbladder in PBM and address the risk of carcinogenesis in residual cystic dilation bile after excision of extrahepatic bile ducts because carcinogenic processes might continue even after surgery if cystic-dilated bile duct walls are left behind. Third, prophylactic cholecystectomy with follow-up might be applicable for PBM patients without cystic dilation to prevent gallbladder carcinomas that are frequently encountered in those types.

Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The atmospheric air ingested into the automobile engine. The automobiles working in the dusty environment are prone to take dust along with the air. The dust grains can damage the automobile engine spares by wear. The dust grain should be removed from the air and clean air should be introduced into the automobile engine. Dust separators are available in the market which can cater these requirements. One dust separator was taken and the performance analysis of the dust separator was done. A separate test rig was built up and experiments were carried out , comparison of the given dust separator was made with the dust separator model 46 and model 200.

Guns OK, now how about free speech?
Posted By Chelsea Schilling On 07/02/2010 @ 12:40 am In Front Page | Comments Disabled
(Photo: Students for Concealed Carry on Campus) |
The U.S. Supreme Court has now ruled that Americans have a constitutional right to own firearms – and now one group is asking, what about students' right to free speech about guns?
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a group that battles college speech restrictions nationwide, is drawing attention to widespread college censorship of student speech concerning guns.
"In the wake of Monday's Supreme Court decision in McDonald v. Chicago, debate about the Second Amendment and gun rights is sure to be hotter than ever," said FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. "Meanwhile, on too many college campuses, students have been prevented from and punished for attempting to form groups to advocate for gun rights, protesting campus restrictions on concealed carry or even simply telling gun-related jokes."
He added, "[A]n informed populace is essential to our democracy, and colleges and universities should be welcoming a debate on the role of guns in our society, not stifling it."
FIRE has launched its first film in a new series focusing on how U.S. colleges and universities are preventing students and faculty members from speaking out on the weightiest political issues of the day. The group plans to continue its series with expert interviews and "hard-hitting investigations into the stifling of campus discussions about our society's most contentious issues."
The first video can be seen below:
The video was filmed on location at campuses in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Texas and features interviews with students from colleges where administrators have been accused of attempting to stifle debate over licensed concealed carry of firearms by students. FIRE notes that administrators at the colleges declined to be interviewed for the film.
FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley said the new series seeks to shed light on an issue that has become a serious national problem.
"Seeing is believing, and film is key to showing the public both that censorship on campus is real and that it has real costs," Shibley said. "Our new video initiative will expose new audiences to some of the worst abuses of free speech on campus. Raising awareness of these abuses will help FIRE in our fight to defend debate and dissent on campus."
FIRE has published a list of cases in which college students have been punished or threatened for wearing empty holsters, forming gun-rights groups, posting flyers, sending e-mails and even giving a presentation for speech class on concealed weapons.
The FIRE website says the group takes no position on the issue of concealed carry on campus, but "strongly believes that students should be free to advocate any side of the debate."
WND reported in April when college students across America strapped on empty gun holsters to protest laws and policies prohibiting licensed concealed carry on college campuses.
The weeklong protests were sponsored by Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a grass-roots organization of more than 44,000 college students, faculty members and citizens who support the right to self-defense on campus. The group has members in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
According to the group, colleges have not only discriminated against concealed-carry permit-holders, they often censor students who disagree by ignoring or attempting to stop students from discussing the issue of concealed carry.
Organization member Christine Brashier reported being banned from handing out fliers about the group by a Pennsylvania college that purportedly told her, "You may want to discuss this topic but the college does not, and you cannot make us."
During the spring 2009 semester, Texas' Tarrant County College tried to stop students from wearing empty holsters on campus until a federal judge ruled that the ban violated the First Amendment.
FIRE's new video features an interview with Robert Comer, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas at Lone Star College, Tomball, who was banned from distributing satirical flyers with "Top 10 gun safety tips" including, "If your gun misfires, never look down the barrel to inspect it."
Administrators purportedly told Comer the flyers were inappropriate, confiscated them and threatened to disband his group or put it on probation for a year.
In the video, Comer said Americans must safeguard their rights to free speech and gun ownership.
"That's one of the most important rights that we have as Americans," he said. "If we don't treasure it, if we don't hold it close to our heart, then we're done. We cease to be the free country that we were."

HOUSTON Giving trastuzumab and anthracyclines at the same time is effective at treating HER-2-positive breast cancer, but there is concern that this combination can be associated with an increased risk of cardiac toxicity. New research from Aman Buzdar M.D., professor and vice president of clinical research at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and colleagues in the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, shows these agents do not need to be given concurrently to achieve a high rate of complete pathological remission.
The findings, published in the journal Lancet Oncology, investigated the timing of trastuzumab administration with anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy.
"In a previous MD Anderson study concurrent administration of trastuzumab with chemotherapy, including anthracyclines, demonstrated high pathologic complete response rates in breast cancer patients with HER-2-positive disease," Buzdar said. "In the current trial, we examined whether concurrent administration of anthracyclines with trastuzumab was necessary to achieve the high pathologic response rates or whether these drugs could be given sequentially. Findings show that high pathologic response rates were observed in both treatment groups with similar cardiac safety profiles in both arms of the trial."
The randomized phase III trial enrolled 280 women with operable HER-2 positive invasive breast cancer at 36 centers across the United States from September 2007 through December 2011.
Patients were randomly assigned to two treatment regimens, 138 in the sequential group who received fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide on day one of a 21-day cycle for four cycles followed by paclitaxel plus trastuzumab weekly for 12 weeks.
The 142 patients in the concurrent group were treated with paclitaxel and trastuzumab weekly for 12 weeks. This was followed by fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide on day one of a 21-da

The vessel, the PC-22 Warao, ran aground on a reef off the coast of Brazil in 2012, resulting in heavy hull and propulsion system damage.
Navantia built the ship and delivered it to the Venezuelan navy in 2011.
The contract for the services is between Navantia and Brazilian company Ecovix-Engevix. Navantia did not detail the value of the award but said it "represents 40,000 hours of work for Navantia."
In addition to technical consulting services, Navantia will also provide the propulsion, power generation and automated control systems for the ship's hull. Much of the work will be performed in Cartagena, Spain.
Navantia, which has a presence in Brazil and is modernizing a Brazilian navy ship, said repairs to the Venezuelan vessel are being conducted at the Brazilian Navy Arsenal at Rio de Janeiro.

She shrugged them off...until the very real Erich Langlois woke her one night. He was dark and dangerous, sexier than any man she'd ever known. But what was he doing in her bedroom? And cast a spell on her emotions If the townspeople were to be believed, witchcraft ran in the Langlois family.

What to Watch: TV Picks for November 21 - 27
If you've missed the latest collaboration between Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, this is the perfect chance to get on board. Ricky (recently confirmed to return to host the Golden Globes) and Stephen send their sad sack friend Karl Pilkington out to see the world and make fun of him mercilessly as he whines and complains his way around some of the most incredible locales on our planet.
It sounds mean, and it is. But you'll only feel sorry for poor Karl -- who'd be happier at home in his flat with a cup of tea -- for a few minutes. then you'll be laughing too hard to care. This week, Karl takes the legendary Trans-Siberian Express train into China. Fans may remember Karl's feelings about the Great Wall from last season. He was, shall we say, unimpressed.
'An Idiot Abroad' Season 2 Trailer: Karl Pilkington's Bucket List (VIDEO)
There is something inherently hilarious about watching Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant torture their dim-witted friend Karl Pilkington. The running mockery started on Gervais's podcasts, which were eventually animated and turned into HBO's 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' and then gloriously continued with 'An Idiot Abroad.'
The premise of the show is simple and delightful. Gervais and Merchant send Pilkington, the polar opposite of someone you might call a worldly man, on a series of adventures to distant, exotic lands. In Season 1, which scored record-high ratings for the Science Channel, Karl traveled to the 7 Wonders of the World, struggling with the food, local language and customs every step of the way.
In the trailer for 'An Idiot Abroad 2: The Bucket List', we see Karl looking at a list of 100 Things To Do Before You Die, lamenting that he has to tackle any of them. "If I was on my deathbed, there's no way I'd want to be climbing Kilimanjaro," he says.
"It's not things to do a few minutes before you die, it's things to do in your life," retorts Gervais, chuckling.
Check out the trailer after the jump.
OWN Renews 4 Shows & Picks Up 6, Jeanne Tripplehorn Gets Lifetime Movie and More
According to Deadline, the Oprah Winfrey–fronted network has ordered six new episodes each of 'Ask Oprah's All Stars,' 'Enough Already! With Peter Walsh' and 'In the Bedroom With Dr. Laura Berman.' Viewers can also look forward to eight new episodes of 'Oprah Presents: Master Class.'
Joining OWN's lineup is 'Confronting ...,' 'I Owe You My Life,' 'Louie Spence Dance Project,' 'My Mom and Me,' 'Sweetie Pies' and 'Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal.'
The new unscripted shows run the gambit from dramatic to cute.
'Confronting ...' follows the mediation process between a victim and offender, and 'I Owe You My Life' tells the stories of everyday heroes. Look for campy dance antics on 'Louie Spence Dance Project' and an examination of mother-daughter relationships in 'My Mom and Me.' Former Ike Turner backup singer Robbie Montgomery and her soul food restaurant are the subject of 'Sweetie Pies,' a reality dramedy. Over on the other side of the spectrum is 'Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal,' which will tell the story of couples who have survived infidelities.
In other TV news ...
• Science Channel has given 'An Idiot Abroad' a season 2. Look for Karl Pilkington to tackle a bucket list during his world travels in season 2. [TV Guide]
• 'Big Love' star Jeanne Tripplehorn and Patricia Clarkson have joined Lifetime's 'Project Five.' The anthology series about breast cancer has celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore on board to direct. Tripplehorn will play an oncologist and appear in all five short films. [Deadline]
Karl Pilkington Finds Out He's the 'Idiot Abroad' (VIDEO)
Apparently, Gervais had some difficulty (uh-huh) selling the proposed title 'Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders,' and came up with a title that everyone agreed upon. "I want to run it by you," Gervais said." 'An Idiot Abroad'."
Pilkington did a slow burn, telling Gervais that wasn't what they had talked about.
"Yeah, but they were saying, you know, 'Who's Karl Pilkington.' "
'Well, who's the idiot abroad?' Pilkington inquired.
Karl, come on.
'An Idiot Abroad': Karl Is Kidnapped in Israel (VIDEO)
Thing is, they forget (yeah, right) to give him any advance notice of said schooling. Steve explains over voicemail, "There'll be a team of people who'll just jump out at you at some point when you least expect it."
The message is too late: Karl's already been kidnapped. They tackle him, cover his face and drag him into the back of an SUV, shouting and hitting him the entire time. He has no idea of the set-up, and the poor guy thinks he's actually being kidnapped. Let's hope Karl's "friends" are making such exploitation monetarily worth his while.
Karl Pilkington is Impressed with the Taj Mahal But Otherwise Hated India (VIDEO)
Thus it was a near genius idea when they approached British network Sky 1 to film a travel show with Pilkington at the center. Actually, it was Gervais and Merchant's idea. Pilkington, a proud homebody with no interest in the world outside his town, had to be talked into it.
Thus, 'An Idiot Abroad' (Sat., 10PM on Science) was born.
Stephen Merchant on Karl Pilkington's Adventures as 'An Idiot Abroad'
When I asked Stephen Merchant if he helped his friend and writing partner Ricky Gervais with some of the scathing jokes he said on the Golden Globes awardcast last week, he acknolwedged that he did, but "I'm not going to take any credit for anything, because I want to work in Hollywood again," he said with a nervous laugh.
Seriously, though, Merchant wonders why there's been so much hubub about Gervais' jokes. "If you can't make jokes about movie stars, I don't know who you can make jokes about," he told me yesterday. "It just seems like they are a perfectly legitimate, fun target, because they have won. They've won the lottery of life. They're the best looking, they're the richest, they're the most privileged. And generally speaking, in my experience, they can laugh at themselves."
Merchant and Gervais have a lot going on at the moment. In addition to their individual projects, they've got two projects on the air that revolve around their friend and podcast partner Karl Pilkington. There's the second season of HBO's 'The Ricky Gervais Show,' which started last week, which contains clips from the trio's famous podcasts rendered as cartoons.
Then there is 'An Idiot Abroad,' debuting Saturday at 10PM ET/PT on the Science Channel. In the documentary series, Pilkington is sent to exotic locations to see how a simple man from England with "interesting" observations deals with different cultures.

If you asked me to choose my favorite pecan dessert, I would have a really difficult time because I love pecan pie, but these praline pecanss would be in the running. Crunchy pralines may technically be more authentic New Orleans style, but I can't resist the creamy version. I use real cream—no evaporated milk—because I believe if you're going to buy a candy thermometer and make praline pecans, they deserve real cream. And yes, I say "praw-leenz."
This recipe is the partner to the Bananas Foster milkshake recipe I developed for the magazine Where Women Cook, and you'll find that recipe in the Spring 2011 issue which came out last week. You can make the Bananas Foster milkshake with purchased pralines or even plain candied pecans, but in case you are itching to try your hand at making candy, these are a fun way to start. I borrowed Shirley Corriher's technique because the woman knows her stuff, but I use cream and bourbon in mine because they go together so well.
I'm delighted to be in the Spring 2011 issue of Where Women Cook and featured on their website this week. If you haven't seen the magazine yet, it's definitely worth checking out and I'm honored that they wanted to include me. This week I'll be at their site, Amuse Bouche, sharing stories, tips, photos, and of course another recipe. I want to share Where Women Cook with you, and I'm offering a one-year subscription to one lucky reader. To enter the giveaway, just visit my Facebook fan page and click the Like button. Anyone who "likes" my Facebook fan page is entered in the giveaway. The magazine ships to U.S., Canadian, and international addresses. The giveaway closes at 8 P.M. EST on March 13, and Random.org will select the winner. Look for the announcement of the winner on the Facebook fan page soon after.
[The giveaway has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated!]
[Disclosure: This giveaway is not sponsored by Where Women Cook or Stampington & Company.]
- 2 cups (224 g) pecan halves
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- dash sea salt
- 1 cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (131 g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350° F/175°C.
- Spread the pecans on the foil-lined baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and fragrant. Add 2 tablespoon unsalted butter and salt to the hot nuts and stir. Set aside to cool.
- In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the granulated and brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and heavy cream. Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the pecans and continue slowly boiling until the temperature reaches 242° F/117° C on the candy thermometer, or almost firm ball stage. If you boil it too fast, the sugar grains don't fully dissolve and the mixture won't set properly.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla and bourbon using the heat-resistant silicone spatula. Continue stirring vigorously until the candy loses its glossiness, becomes creamy in appearance, and thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Don't stir for too long or it will become grainy.
- Very quickly drop the candy mixture by tablespoons onto the baking sheet lined with a silicone mat, about 1 to 2 inches apart. Allow to cool completely. Store at room temperature wrapped in plastic.
baking sheet lined with foil
3-quart pot with heavy bottom

Recipe Notes:
The bourbon should be a good one that you like, but does not have to be top shelf.
The candy will keep for up to three days.

EWTN Catholic Q&A |
Vocation and Parents Question from anonymous on 10-21-2012: |
What advice would you give to someone who is discerning a religious vocation in secret, and is absolutely terrified of their parents finding out? What is the best way to defend a call to religious life to parents who do not necessarily even believe in the idea of vocation? |
Answer by Richard Geraghty on 11-09-2012: |
Dear Anon, That is a hard question. When Mother Angelica reached the age of eighteen, she had to sneak away from her single parent mother to go to the convent. Her mother would have raised an emotional storm which would have been hard on both of them. At a certain point you have to act the adult and choose the path you think you must take.

Well, it happens that this has 2 modes of execution, with DirectX 9 and 10.
When I execute the game with DirectX 10 and crashes over time saying that the executable stopped working. The times that takes to crashes is totally aleatory but it will crash surely.
And when I execute it with DirectX 9 it runs perfectly but there's this bar on the lower part of the screen, that takes forever to get full each time I enter the game or minimize it.

The drama culminates in this Flickr forum, where Hawk jumps in to defend Zooomr's one other employee, coder Kris Tate. But he does a pretty bad job of it, admitting, "I'm not a coder and quite frankly couldn't tell you computer code from newspaper type...I also don't really understand coding ethics and all that either."
Hawk then returns to invite all the angry Flickr users to Zooomr ("But even I'm growing tired of the negativity. Come play on Zooomr") in what has to be the world's most poorly thought-out marketing ploy.
Why is the CEO doing this poorly? Blame the drink. Hawk admits in one message, "I've had a couple of bottles of wine at this point."

It is beyond a tremendous burden to put on a rookie, much less one who is handling the ball.

La Nina's Brewing, Forecasters Warn
WASHINGTON — Forecasters warned Tuesday that a La Nina weather pattern – the nasty flip side of El Nino – is brewing, bringing with it the threat of more hurricanes for the Atlantic.
Officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced the official end of a brief and mild El Nino that started last year. That El Nino was credited with partially shutting down last summer's Atlantic hurricane activity in the midst of what was supposed to be a busy season.
"We're seeing a shift to the La Nina, it's clearly in the data," NOAA Administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. La Nina, a cooling of the mid-Pacific equatorial region, has not officially begun because it's a process with several months with specific temperature thresholds, but the trend is obvious based on satellite and ocean measurement data, he said.
"It certainly won't be welcome news for those living off the coast right now," Lautenbacher said. But he said that doesn't mean Atlantic seaboard residents should sell their homes.
Forecasters don't know how strong this La Nina will be. However, it typically means more hurricanes in the Atlantic, fewer in the Pacific, less rain and more heat for the already drought-stricken South, and a milder spring and summer in the north, Lautenbacher said. The central plains of the United States tend be drier in the fall during La Ninas, while the Pacific Northwest tends to be wetter in the late fall and early winter.
Of special concern is west Texas which is already in a long-term drought, which during a La Nina will likely get worse, Lautenbacher said.
Historically, El Ninos and La Ninas are difficult to forecast, said National Center for Atmospheric Research senior scientist Michael Glantz, who studies how they effect humans.
"I don't see it as a useful forecast," Glantz said. "Every event since they've been looking at El Nino … surprised scientists."
La Ninas tend to develop from March to June and reach peak intensity at the end of the year and into the next February, according to Vernon Kousky, NOAA's top El Nino/La Nina expert. La Nina winters tend to be warmer than normal in the Southeast and colder than normal in the Northwest.
Andrew Weaver, a meteorology professor at the University of Victoria in Canada, said NOAA's forecast looks good because the signs of a brewing La Nina are apparent just below the ocean's surface.
"La Nina is the evil twin sister of El Nino, so it's good or bad depending on where you live," Weaver said. However, in general La Ninas do not have as costly effects on humans as El Ninos do, he said.
The last lengthy La Nina, from 1998 to 2001, helped cause a serious drought in much of the West, according to NOAA drought specialist Douglas Lecomte.
"There are winners and losers, people tend to concentrate on the losers," Lautenbacher said.

Adams State College coach Lindy Mortensen instructs high school volleyball players at the 2011 Four Corners Volleyball Camp at Mancos High School. This year, the camp will be held in Cortez at Montezuma-Cortez High School and Cortez Middle School to accommodate the increased number of campers.
The annual Four Corners Volleyball camp, in association with Adams State College and Mancos High School, keeps on growing. It�s a camp for middle school and high school volleyball players, who want to have a college volleyball camp experience at an affordable price. This concept has resonated greatly, as the number of campers has increased every year. Last summer, the amount of participants was simply too big for MHS. �I�d like to give Mona credit for promoting the camp,� said ASC coach Lindy Mortensen, who will assist MHS head coach and camp clinician Ramona Shepherd in running the camp for the eight consecutive year. �Every summer, it�s been a consistent camp for us. She�s grown it to add a couple more courts and we appreciate that.� Shepherd called her friends in Mortensen and Montezuma-Cortez High School volleyball coach Barbara Chappell to brainstorm. The sum 80 to 90 campers last year was great. But to have the ultimate camping experience, Shepherd and Mortensen have partnered with Chappell to hold the camp in Cortez on June 18-20. Three courts will be used at both M-CHS and Cortez Middle School to accommodate each camper. The middle school kids will be at CMS and the high school players will compete at M-CHS for three days. �With a larger camp, I can afford to bring more of our players,� said Mortensen of her Grizzlies assistants. �We�re bringing a player from every position this year. When you have more kids at a camp, I think each court is a little more competitive. They�re more balanced in skill. It�s good to have more players to draw from in skill. That benefits the campers.� Having a player coach at every skill position is something that Mortensen feels will keep her and Shepherd�s skills camp growing in the future. �That�s the plan right now, is to have a big Four Corners camp,� she said. �It really enables us to see a lot of kids in the state. It gives us the opportunity to see a lot kids and meet a lot of coaches. It�s great for our campers to see our players and it helps them, too.� Mortensen will also be coaching inside the M-CHS Gym once again. She led the Lady Panthers to a 193-46 volleyball record from 1996-2004, including six straight Southwestern League titles. Chappell was an assistant on Mortensen�s staff at the time. �I�m excited. Barbara Chappell was my assistant in Cortez for a while. It�s just really fun to work with these coaches,� Mortensen said. �Being back in the Cortez Gym, we have a lot of good memories there. My kids had a good experience there. My husband coached (boys basketball) there. Cortez was and always will be a big part our lives.� Mortensen�s daughter, Annie Rice, played for her mom at M-CHS. Rice moved onto play two years at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling before playing two years and graduating at Fort Lewis College in Durango. She will help assist with the camp as well. �Me and Mona share a lot of the same philosophies in coaching. That makes it nice to do a camp with them,� said Mortensen. Forms and permission slips can be obtained from the following: Call or write Shepherd at 560-1411 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For Cortez, call Chappell at 570-9990. At CMS, forms can be picked up from Kent Russell. Dolores kids can see Dave Hopscia and kids in Dove Creek need to see coach Scott Knuckles. All checks are to be payable to Mancos volleyball. Reach Bobby Abplanalp at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Mega Sena Lottery
History Of Mega Sena:
The Caixa Mega Sena lottery may be just one of many international lotteries available from Brazil but it is undoubtedly the most popular. The game has changed little over the years with the exception of the original number system. |
Pairs of numbered balls were picked randomly from two spinning cages. Together the balls created a 2 digit number from 01 up to 60. The first cage contained the balls for the first digit and ranges from 0 – 5. The second cage contained the balls for the second digit and ranges from 0 – 9. When all 6 unique 2 digit numbers were drawn, the draw was finished.
Since draw No. 1140 this complex drawing process has been streamlined. The balls are now selected from a single spinning globe. Each segment of 10 balls is coloured differently from the rest, with a total of 6 colours across all the balls.
Number selection for the Mega Sena is very simple. Select 6 unique numbers out of a possible 60. Match 6 chosen numbers to the numbers drawn and you win the jackpot.
The cut-off time for purchasing tickets on PlayHugeLottos.com is 14:00 or 15:00 PM GMT on the day of the draw (depending on UK daylight savings time).
Mega Sena Jackpots And Mega Da Virada:
Jackpots in this lottery game can reach impressive numbers, as seen in 1999 where a winner from Salvador walked away with an impressive R$64.9 million. Another notable win took place in July 2008 when two winning tickets matched the results to equally split the top prize of R$53.1 million.
This Brazilian lottery is drawn twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8pm Local Time (UTC -3). The draw itself is held in a truck that travels all over Brazil in a different city for every draw which ads to the excitement.
Mega Sena draws are shown on Brazilian TV in the show called 'Momento da Sorte' (Lucky moment).
Mega Sena Prize Tiers:
Mega Sena only pays out prizes for the top 3 prize tiers. The prize value for each tier is based on a percentage value of the total prize fund (46% of the total lottery earnings).
Match 6 balls – 35% of prize fund
Match 5 balls – 19% of prize fund
Match 4 balls – 19% of prize fund
The remaining funds accumulate for special drawings including Mega Da Virada which is held on New Years Eve every year. It is very popular with Brazilians due to the large jackpots ( R$194.3 Million in 2010).

While he finished with a 3.32 ERA and 36 saves in 40 opportunities, Cleveland's Chris Perez's 2011 performance suggested that worse days were on the way. One struck in Thursday's opener.
Justin Masterson allowed just two hits and struck out 10 in eight innings, only to watch Perez blow a 4-1 lead in the ninth against the Blue Jays.
Masterson was terrific from the get go, allowing just a homer to Jose Bautista while getting 20 of his 24 outs via a K or a groundout. Perez seemed likely enough to protect a three-run lead from there, but he managed to retire just two of the seven hitters he faced while blowing the three-run lead in the ninth.
What's scary about Perez was the way his strikeout rate fell off last year. He went from fanning 61 guys in 63 innings in 2010 to 39 in 59 2/3 innings last year. Flyball pitchers who don't get swings and misses simply aren't very good bets, and Perez's swing-and-miss rate has deteriorated each year since his debut.
Vinnie Pestano relieved Perez today, got the final out of the ninth to preserve the tie and then pitched a scoreless 10th in a tie game. He had more than twice as many strikeouts as Perez last year, finishing with 84 in 62 innings, and it'd be no surprise if he soon becomes Cleveland's closer.

As a Jays fan, I was happy with Perez today; however, since he is on my fantasy team, I hope he recovers next week.

E5 made me proud, today. That double to tie the game was epic…till he went TOOTBLAN, but still..

As someone who took Pestano as their last pick and does not have Perez I will have to hope against that.

Time for a scan or Chris Perez' arm and shoulder. You don't lose that much in a year without a real possibility of injury.

Was there an official reason why Luis Perez wasn't thrown out of the game for almost hitting Choo in 15th inning? There was a warning earlier in game, did they just throw that warning out the window?
- Matthew Pouliot - Apr 5, 2012 at 11:01 PM
Umpires are still allowed to use discretion after the warning. They gathered together after the pitch and bench clearing and decided it wasn't intentional.

Okay, see I didn't have the sound on, so thank you. But I know the Indians didn't lose because of that…LOL They lost because they had no clutch hitting today at all. But if they take the series, I'll take that anytime.

It's amazing how every time a guy has an off day you guys manage to come up with a picture of the guy making a retarded person's face to accentuate the point.

Thanks. It's a gift.
