Happy Wednesday everyone. I hope you all have been having a great week. It is time for our usual roundup of mid-week questions:
- What games are you playing this week?
- Would you recommend those games to other Border House readers?
- What games have you ranting?
- Are any of those games listed ones that you want to see covered on the site?
I am hoping to spend more of 2013 clearing out my backlog, and focusing specifically on adventure games. As such, I started and finished Edna and Harvey: The Breakout this week. It is a point and click adventure game with cartoon style graphics. I found the game play enjoyable but the storyline contained many problematic aspects.
So, what have you been playing?

Gov. Peter Shumlin last Friday conducted a 25-minute interview with Burlington Free Press reporter Terri Hallenbeck in his Montpelier office regarding purchase of property next to his home in East Montpelier.
Shumlin made an agreement last year with neighbor Jeremy Dodge to buy the land, now valued at $140,000, for $58,000, allowing Dodge to avoid having the land go to a tax sale for overdue property taxes. The purchase price included paying off some of Dodge's other debts and allowing him to live there until July 15. In recent weeks, Dodge's friends and family began to question the value of the deal and Shumlin on Friday agreed to discuss possibly altering the deal with Shumlin.
Shumlin declined at the start to allow Free Press photographer/videographer Emily McManamy to videotape the interview. Here's the interview, edited slightly for brevity and clarity.
Gov. Peter Shumlin: "You're going to video this? Oh, (expletive). We don't want that. No, we're not doing that."
Burlington Free Press: "What do you mean we're not doing that?"
PS: "We won't do it. We're not going to do that. Make up your mind. You want print, we'll give it to you. We're not doing video. Sorry to be rough, but you guys didn't tell us. If you'd asked me I would have said no."
BFP: "I didn't think about it because it's our new world order."
PS: "Tell your new world order it's a no go. Not this. I thought you were shooting photographs."
BFP: "Are you not doing interviews with TV on this?"
PS: "Different kind of interview. Little teenie sound bites we give them, then we send them out the door. We want to have a conversation with you that's not on video." (Later, it would become apparent that WCAX-TV had videotaped a 20-minute interview.)
BFP: "Explain to me how this unfolded. Did you go to him and say, 'You're in trouble, can I buy your land' or how did this unfold?"
PS: "As you know, Jerry's my nearest neighbor, and I became aware that his property was coming up for tax sale by the town of East Montpelier."
BFP: "How do you become aware of that?"
PS: "It was a rumor in town. I can't even remember who told me, but anyway I knew. Everybody knew. It's a small town. People came up to me and said, "You might want to consider buying that property at tax sale, because it's coming up." I thought to myself that I had an obligation to inform Jerry, because we see each other a lot; we're friendly neighbors. He had been cutting some wood for me and doing some work, so it wasn't like I didn't know who he was. So I felt as a courtesy I should let him know I was aware that his place was coming up for tax sale, that I was an interested party. Although I don't know if I ever would have bought it actually, I didn't want to be doing it around his back.
"In that conversation he told me more about the financial challenges he was facing. I said, 'Listen Jerry, don't you have a family member or relative that can borrow the taxes due even if you have to put the deed in their name? That would be the best outcome, so get a good friend or relative to help you out because that's always the best outcome.' A tax sale is usually not a good outcome. He understood what I said. I didn't have any further conversations about him about that, and I wasn't paying much attention to it all.
"One day, I would say seven or eight days before the tax sale… . It was one of the rare opportunities where I had a little bit of free time, because, don't forget, I was in a campaign. I was stacking wood, and he came up and asked me if I would help and told me it wasn't going to work out for family and relatives to give him a hand, and he asked if there was any way I could help. So I said, 'Let me swing by later today, and we'll talk about it.'
"The first time I went into his house I quickly observed that, to put it diplomatically, during his ownership of the house that he inherited from his parents it had been destroyed. … I recognized that I was dealing with a person who had done some really despicable things to people, a person that I learned over the months I'd gotten to know him … that he was trying hard to better himself, and I was very hesitant to get involved. So I told him I'd think about it. He asked me to think quickly because he was very concerned about what was going to happen. What I realized when I went into the house, which I hadn't known until I'd gone in, was that he had no power, and therefore he had no water, and therefore he had no septic, and therefore he had no heat. And it was a cold October day."
BFP: "No woodstove?"
PS: "Not functioning. So in addition to the other challenges the house had had from dogs and cats and other animals for many years, … no one should have been living there in that condition. So I thought about it that night, recognizing that I had to get back to him shortly, and I made the decision as a neighbor and a Vermonter that I could not turn my back, and, as he had said, there was no one else in line that was willing to get involved.
"So we sat down and over a couple days came to an arrangement that I felt and he felt was fair for him and fair for me, and that's what we then followed. It was 58,000 bucks. I recognized I was going to have to spend $20,000 to $40,000 either removing the house or virtually gutting it whenever it was that he moved on. So I figured I was spending $90,000 to $100,000 for 14 to 16 acres of land; it's never been surveyed that I know of. And most importantly that I was creating a situation where he wasn't going to be homeless."
BFP: "How did you know he wouldn't be homeless?"
PS: "My goal was to try to get the plumbing back, get the house back functional. I still say it's not a place anyone should be living for any period of time, but functional for long enough for him to have the resources to go out and rent a house or apartment that would be suitable for a better quality of life.
"I see Jerry two or three times a week. He's never expressed to me in any way anything except gratitude for the help that he asked for that I gave him. I want to be clear, this was a fair deal for him, a fair deal for me. It wasn't until last couple of days through the press that I learned that he has had a change of heart. This is the news you don't know. I went and saw him this morning. … I gave him a letter so that he could show it to his family. I wanted to make sure they knew exactly what I was saying. I said, 'Listen, Jerry, I'm not one who wants to fight with my neighbors. I got into this from the beginning recognizing that there was a way to do this that would be good for you and good for me. You've now changed your mind about that, as I've heard through the press. I am committed to seeing this through and sitting down and addressing concerns that you have to ensure that you feel like it's good for me, good for you. The only provision this time is I'm not going to accept your refusal to hire a lawyer. You've got to hire a lawyer this time, and I will pay for it.' It was a good conversation, and that's what we're going do."
BFP: "You're committed to you acquiring this property, not nullifying the deal?"
PS: "I own the property. People keep saying you can solve this by giving the deed back and sending it to a tax sale. He would have been in jail the next week. You can't solve this by auctioning it off. There's nothing to buy, guys. The house has been destroyed."
BFP: "It's a nice piece of property, is it not?"
PS: "Yeah, but I've got $58,000 and growing into it, above what's fair. My point is, if there was a simple silver bullet to this. – We're dealing with someone who's got a criminal record as long as my arm. As I mentioned, he's done some really despicable things in his lifetime, as he will tell you. He's trying to better himself. When I came onto the scene , it wasn't just his property taxes, there was a whole menu of back bills, liens against the property, child support payments, a list of challenges a mile long that had to be navigated in order to get to the point where we could get power turned back on, get the plumbing fixed, get it livable for the winter, and now the question is, how do you move from a situation where he's living in a house that is really not a place where human beings should live to a place where he can have a better quality of life."
BFP: "What do you mean by seeing this through?"
PS: "We've had two conversations about his future plans. He brought it up both times. He mentioned to me that he was going to look at apartments. He's never said he was having difficulty. If he had said to me, 'Hey, Peter, this is going to take longer than I thought; Can I stay until after July 15,' I would've said, 'Sure.' My only plan for the property is to knock it down or gut it, and I'm not in a particular hurry to do that. My point is not through the press but by sitting down at a table together we can figure out a solution that ensures that … we're in a better place in light of Jerry's change of heart."
BFP: "Several people have brought up that if you knew how much he was paying in property taxes and how much money he apparently isn't making that two plus two is he was paying too much in property taxes. Did you have any sense of that?"
PS: "Once we agreed that we had arrived at an arrangement that was fair for him and fair for me, we had about six days to do this. I was running a political campaign. We were having a huge challenge figuring out how much he owed to child support, how much he owed to funeral homes, how much he owed to the town, how much he owed to the electric company. I won't give you the long list, but our focus was, how do we get these bills taken care of so that we can ensure Jerry doesn't have his house up for tax sale. … If people have ideas on ways to get any of the property tax money back, that would be great. The money would go to Jerry."
BFP: "You were a state senator for a long time. If someone came to you in that situation and certainly now as governor and said, 'I can't pay my property taxes …'?"
PS: "That wasn't what he was saying. He was saying to me, 'Listen, I've got $17,000 worth of back property taxes and a ton of other bills that have to be dealt with.' I didn't ask the question, 'How did you get these bills, why do you owe the power company, why do you owe taxes?' I said, 'This is a guy who hasn't paid his bills, doesn't have any money. Makes sense to me. I gotta go pay the bills.'"
BFP: "Why do you want the property?"
PS: "You know, you've got to understand that I didn't go looking for the property. Jerry came to me. … There was nobody else in the queue that would help. I can understand why. This is a violent offender who has done awful things to people. By the same token, he's a guy who's trying to better himself. He's my neighbor, and as a Vermonter I didn't feel I could say no to him; I saw an opportunity to have an outcome where it would be good for me and good for him. I would've picked up 14, 16 acres of land – it hasn't been surveyed, whatever it is — a piece of land for about $90,000 to $100,000 after tearing the place down or whatever has to be done, and he would've had a place to live and the resources to rent someplace better."
BFP: "How did you get to that price?"
PS: "I didn't spend a lot of time. We arrived at it together, and I explained to him – I was very candid. I said, 'Jerry, this place has to be knocked down or gutted. It's going to cost anywhere between 20- and 40,000 bucks to do that. I'm not willing to spend more than 100 grand on 14 to 16 acres of land.' The other time commitment that I put in to help Jerry remain in his home."
BFP: "Did you have any sense that this is you being pretty persuasive, that you were having this influence over him?"
PS: "I ain't buying that. He's very smart."
BFP: "Smart enough to know all of his options?"
PS: "I recognized that I could get criticized every single way possible. People could say, "Peter just walked away from this guy, let him become homeless, let him go back to jail, let his house go up for tax sale." He would have got quite possibly nothing out of it financially. So you can criticize me for that. You can criticize me for getting involved, it wasn't enough, or it was too much. All I can tell you is when he asked me to help and I agreed, I knew in my heart that I was agreeing to see this thing all the way through."
BFP: "Do you regret doing it on the back of an envelope or folder?"
PS: "Jerry and I had a number of conversations about the various options. We came to an agreement that we both thought was fair. I hired a lawyer to write out the agreements. … This was not done on the back of a manila envelope. It was done the right way with purchase and sales agreements and everything else people do in real estate."
BFP: "Did you suggest to him, 'Don't worry, you can use my lawyer' even once he said he couldn't afford one?"
PS: "Jerry never told me he couldn't afford one. That is one thing that is not true. I urged Jerry to get a lawyer on several occasions. He refused. My lawyer, Gloria Rice, urged him to get a lawyer. He refused. You cannot make someone do something they don't want to do. He refused to get a lawyer. He didn't tell us why. When I considered his involvement with the law in the past, I didn't think I needed to ask why he didn't want a lawyer. That might not be the profession he has the most respect for."
BFP: "So your lawyer never suggested, 'Don't worry, I can represent both sides?'"
PS: "Absolutely not."
BFP: "Did you ever think of it the way people are now perceiving it – you're taking advantage of somebody who has no means and is in a tough position?"
PS: "I think I just explained to you very clearly that I felt strongly as a neighbor and as a Vermonter that I wasn't going to walk away from somebody who was asking for help and for whom we could enter in to an arrangement that would be good for him and good for me. That's exactly what we did, and I'm disappointed he's now changed his mind, but in the spirit of being a good neighbor, I'm convinced we can work that out, too."
BFP: "Are you getting an earful on this?"
PS: "No."
BFP: "You don't think you have an image problem?"
PS: "I'm not going to speculate. I'm going to let Vermonters draw their own conclusions about this. The reason I'm talking to you and to other people in the press right now is that I don't think the reasons for me getting involved in this difficult situation have been clearly articulated, and I wanted to explain them for the first time."
BFP: "Where did you leave it with him? What happens next?"
PS: "We had a very nice meeting, and he agreed he would get a lawyer this time."
BFP: "As part of the deal it seems he was paying $1,000 a month in rent. Does that not seem like a lot?"
PS: "I never thought it was likely Jerry could be out by July 15, let's put it that way. Therefore, how much rent is it? Jerry's there for as long as is reasonable without paying rent, and I understood that going in."
BFP: "When you were getting (the property) reassessed, did you have any sense that, 'I'm the governor now, and it's the governor asking for a deal'?"
PS: "Governors still need to be able to live in Vermont and be a neighbor and part of a community. I have the same rights that every other Vermonter has when it comes to fair property assessments. The assessors came out for two reasons, not just this. They came out because my home had not been assessed. I wanted to make sure they were assessing the home I had built, because I wanted to make sure I was paying fair taxes in East Montpelier. Also, everyone in town hall broadly agreed and mentioned to me that Jerry's house needed to be reappraised, because no one had dared walk into it in for over a decade because of the fear of what would happen if they went inside."

I have a scenario I encountered recently I want your take on.
You are dispatched to a 40s black male DIB. Arrive to find him bent over hands on knees speaking in 2-3 word bursts. His wheezing is loud enough to be heard over the diesel engine when you exit the cab to approach him. He says he needs " 'buterol and decadron" repeating this over and over. He obviously has been down this road before. He admits to asthma and CHF. Noncompliant on all meds "he's out" (of his meds). LOUD wheezing is noted all lobes with diminished sounds in the lower lobes. He has a period of apnea and near LOC while you are starting an IV. He rouses to strong painful stimuli.
bp is 198/100
RR 30s to 40s
You have these tools that may be appropriate in this case;
CPAP with no greater than 7.5mm
NTG paste and tabs
Mag So
Epi 1:1000
Do you manage this as simple asthma as he insists it is or do you treat as CHF. What about both? What about Asthma with hypertensive crisis but no pulmonary edema? What would you do?
Views: 1658
If he's no longer alert, he's not a CPAP candidate, which is a shame. (I'm mentally reaching for etomidate and sux.) If he starts sucking down air again, he might be a candidate for BNTI. Was he bad enough to need BVM?
In the meantime, load him up with NTG, Decadron, and albuterol.
What's a DIB, by the way?
Difficulty In Breathing
He was alert, he just went out for a few seconds. I was able to quickly (2 seconds) wake him back up and he was CAOx3 I think he was sleep deprived or had narcolepsy, it was interesting.. He had good resp effort he was just getting tired. Had good pretty decent volume still.
As Dr-Exmedic stated it all depends on his mental status. It sounds as if he did have an altered level of consciousness ruling out CPAP. If he was alert and oriented then he is a definite CPAP candidate. Remember CPAP means C=COPD, P=Pneumonia, A=Asthma, P=Pulmonary Edema.
Only wheezes being auscultated = no Nitro administration with CPAP (assuming he was a candidate).
My treatment would consist of:
Oxygen = Nasal Cannula at 6 LPM w/ a DuoNeb treatment (Albuterol & Ipratropium)
IV = Normal Saline TKO
EKG = 12 Lead depending on medical history (cardiac hx, diabetes etc...)
I would "diagnose" this as just asthma. Hypertension deriving from the excitability of respiratory distress.
Unfortunately we do not carry any type of steroid! Steroids are taught to us throughout our education however it is a rarity that an Advanced Life Support service actually carries them.
In 12 years I've never seen an ALS ambulance without steroids, mostly Solu-Medrol. I'm sure they exist, I've just never sen them.
I don't think it matters much unless you have a long transport time.
What meds is he on for the CHF? Is this a physician dx or self dx? What meds is he out of?
I would go with the Asthma and start with Albuterol and Atrovent followed with repeated Albuterol. If the CHF is a valid hx I would steer way clear of the epi. The steroids, in my opinion, are to make us feel better since they take so long to work but, if I have them I would give them in this situation. His pulse ox is not bad enough to make me get real aggressive and his BP,Pulse,RR, and difficulty speaking could be a byproduct of anxiety brought on from the feeling he could not breath. After the DuoNeb it would be time to reassess and further treat this patient as needed. There is not a clear cut path but, the loud wheezing steers me away from getting aggressive with CHF treatment untill it is needed.
As a general rule, the less sure you are about the cause of a patient's symptoms, the less you should go into any protocol. Was the patient on the monitor during the syncopal episode? You may want to stay away from albuterol if he had a run of a tachycardia (something nice to think about from someone who was not there). Definitely CPAP if he's alert, BVM if he's not. Start with one albuterol and NTG and see how he does, and just continue those if he seems to tolerate it.
Hypoxia is a potent sympathetic nervous system stimulator. We all know that "not all that wheezes is asthma", but we should remember that not all that is hypertensive, tachycardic, and acutely short of breath (or, wheezing) is CHF. Would CHF be high up on the DDx? Absolutely. But, the vital signs may be the the result of the body's physiologic response to hypoxia. Also, I'm not one to doubt a patient's knowledge of their own body in situations like these (not to say that I take their word absolutely, but I strongly consider that they're likely correct).
Presented AO 3.....speaking
O2 as tolerated
IV placement for precaution
Transport/Eye Monitor him like a Trauma Hawk......
Dont make this GUY more TACHY,He needs in-house care....
Transport vs Meds or Some Crazy other brany-Hack CARE.....
Could lead to this:
Bradycardia, cardiac arrest, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac enlargement, circulatory collapse, congestive heart failure, fat embolism, hypertension, myocardial rupture following recent myocardial infarction, edema, pulmonary edema, syncope, tachycardia, thromboembolism, thrombophlebitis and vasculitis.
EMT before Para-God
There are numerous agencies in Northern Kentucky alone that do not carry steroids. However, average transport time is 10 minutes.
Timothy Rossette said:
In 12 years I've never seen an ALS ambulance without steroids, mostly Solu-Medrol. I'm sure they exist, I've just never sen them.
I don't think it matters much unless you have a long transport time.
If he's a candidate, CPAP would be your best shot, with an Albuterol/Atrovent Neb'd into the CPAP. If he doesn't improve after initial nebulizer, I'd consider Decadron since he hasn't been able to self-treat for a bit. Would consider MGSO4 if the HTN and wheezing didn't improve after the 1st nebulizer, also.....Could be anxiety, or air trapping contributing. Even if CHF exacerbation, CPAP and Mag would help reduce HTN causing the edema (if that's the underlying), and the Beta-agonists will aid you in hearing the rales after the wheezing decreases, if present. 12-lead prior to departing scene, and enjoy the ride. Dr. X, glad someone still thinks about BNTI.....while it does have it's place, it's fallen out of favor down here in the south a bit... :(

Frenulum breve, foreskin doesn't fully retract when penis is erect — surgery?
| related questions
Originally Published: November 16, 2007 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: October 3, 2008
|Share this
I'm a 19 yr old uncircumcised male. There was a group discussion about sex in my dorm, and people were describing how erect, an uncircumcised and circumcised penis should look alike, that the foreskin should pull back all the way. I had never thought anything of this before, but looking it up on the internet found that I have what I believe to be a frenulum breve, in that my foreskin retracts (unlike phimosis) but not all they way. Unfortunately, all of the information about this (as well as surgery info) is from the UK. I have searched the web for hours and couldn't find any information about this condition in the US. I was just hoping you might shed some light on my condition, as well as on a procedure called frenuloplasty.
Dear Reader,
There are many ways a penis, or foreskin, can look, and not necessarily one way they "should" look. As long as there is no pain associated with your foreskin not retracting all the way, it's probably just one more thing to appreciate about your anatomy's uniqueness. But let's explore a little further: The frenulum (Latin for "little bowstring") is a small strip of skin that joins the glans (the head of the penis) to the foreskin. It is often likened to the joining ridge under the tongue. Many men find that the frenulum is very sensitive and its stimulation can be erotic and arousing. Most often when the penis is erect, the frenulum allows the foreskin to retract completely and freely. However, if the frenulum is short, referred to, as you put in your question, as "frenulum breve," it can pull on the foreskin and cause it to slide forward. This pulling can be painful, especially during ejaculation, masturbation, and during intercourse, when the frenulum can actually tear and bleed.
But no need to despair. The procedure you ask about, a frenuloplasty, is a simple and highly successful procedure that can help to remedy any discomfort. Basically, a frenuloplasty is an operation that lengthens the frenulum. The average age for surgical treatment is from 17 to 27 years old. This outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthesia, often by an urologist — no need for admission in a hospital or any overnight stay. In a frenuloplasty, a series of small cuts are made in the frenulum in the shape of a z or a y (conveniently called to as a z-plasty or y-plasty), typically increasing the length of the frenulum from one to one and a half centimeters. The incisions are sewn up with small dissolving stitches, which are barely visible and should fall out in about ten days.
Most men do not need any painkillers apart from the anesthetic used during surgery. There can be a little bleeding for twelve to forty-eight hours post-operation, but this is usually minimal enough to allow for normal daily activities. It takes about six weeks for the operation to fully heal, but after three weeks most men are able to enjoy a normal sex life. Rarely, the skin may scar from the surgery, causing it to contract. In this case a circumcision might be necessary, but again, this is very unusual.
If you are experiencing pain as a result of your frenulum breve, you may want to make an appointment with your health care provider to discuss treatment options.

RSPCA warning over deadly dog disease
Posted: August 18, 2014|
AN outbreak of the potentially fatal parvo virus in Bristol has prompted a plea from the city's RSPCA to dog owners to ensure their pets are vaccinated against the disease.
Seven dogs have been seen at RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic in St Philips and at the PDSA within the last few weeks.
Damian Pacini, senior veterinary surgeon at RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic, said: "Canine parvo virus is a highly infectious disease that can be passed to other dogs before clinical symptoms are present and sadly, often leads to death.
"It mainly affects younger dogs and symptoms include vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, high fever, tiredness and loss of appetite.
"Some dogs can survive the infection with intensive veterinary care but many dogs die from the disease.
"Parvo virus is preventable through vaccination and I would urge dog owners to ask their vet about vaccinating against the disease and about booster vaccinations throughout their lifetime.
"Protecting your dog through vaccination is vitally important and should be the priority of any responsible pet owners."
"The parvo virus can cause terrible and unnecessary suffering in dogs that are not protected from the disease.
"So please, get your dog vaccinated today."

Poorly Inflated Tyres Cost Drivers Extra On Their Fuel Bills
According to research carried out by TyreSafe, an estimated third of drivers in Great Britain are using more fuel than they actually need and are putting themselves into dangerous driving situations because they fail to regularly check that their tyres have the correct level of air pressure.
This statement comes in a month that has seen the average petrol prices reach a new all time high of 119.9p per litre.
TyreSafe has estimated that £700 million worth of fuel is being wasted each year as a result under inflated tyres. If you ensure that you check the pressure regularly and make certain that your tyres are inflated to their correct level, your tyres will not only last longer, but thanks to the minimum amount of rolling resistance, your fuel bills will not be higher than they need to be.
TyreSafe's chairman Stuart Jackson was quoted as saying, "The recent rises in petrol prices are hitting drivers hard, yet many are failing to make one very simple check and adjustment that could save them hundreds of pounds over the year.
"By taking just a few minutes once a month to ensure that their tyres are inflated to the recommended levels, many drivers will notice a reduction in their fuel bills, helping to make their motoring safer and more affordable again."

The FA confirmed on Thursday they had charged Bruce following remarks he made to the media after his side's 1-0 Premier League defeat at Tottenham.
Bruce was unhappy with the decision to award Spurs a penalty, which Roberto Soldado scored to give the home side the points.
Referee Michael Oliver adjudged that Ahmed Elmohamady had handled the ball in the box after the ball ricocheted off his legs and onto his arm - a decision Bruce branded a "joke", adding: "I have to ask the question, would we have got it? In my opinion, he (Oliver) couldn't wait to give it."
After Hull's second defeat to Spurs in the space of four days, in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, Bruce revealed he had already been informed he would be charged by referees chief Mike Riley, who also admitted to the former Sunderland boss that Oliver had made an error in awarding the spot kick.
"I've been charged," Bruce said. "Mike Riley rang me on Monday morning telling me they've made a huge mistake. What am I supposed to say?
"I thought the referee today was tremendous. We like to see what we've witnessed today and let's not lose that. What is the law and what is it supposed to be? I'll argue my case. It will cost me a few quid, but I'll do it."
A statement on the FA website read: "It is alleged Bruce's comments called into question the integrity of the match referee, and/or implied that the match referee was motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute, in contravention of Rule E3(1)."
Bruce has until 6pm on 4 November to respond to the charge.

VIDEO | UFC Fight Night 27: Roger Bowling Wants to 'Smash' Abel Trujillo After 'Dirty' Knee
Roger Bowling talks about his No Contest against Abel Trujillo at UFC Fight Night 27, whether he thought the illegal knee was intentional, wanting a rematch, feeling disrespected by his opponent at weigh-ins, and more.
One Response to "VIDEO | UFC Fight Night 27: Roger Bowling Wants to 'Smash' Abel Trujillo After 'Dirty' Knee"
So if it was supposedly a dirty knee and hit you in the face and it was on your left side then why is the right side of you face look like it got worked but yet the side where supposedly those dirt knees hit barely even touched. such a liar and you, spiritwolf, and the diaz brothers need to quit making excuses for losing.
The first knee was definitely in the chest and the second was close but didn't look like it was aimed at the face and if it did touch the face it only grazed the left side of his face, not the right. The punch after the second knee on the right side of his face is what cut him and dazed him.
So his claims that the knee landed where he got the cut over his right eye are false.

WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP — A day-long fundraising event took place Friday for the new KISS Theatre in Luzerne County.
The non-profit theatre organization for kids was forced out of the Wyoming Valley Mall earlier this year, and is now renovating space in the East End Centre.
It's big, it's dirty, and it's loud. But, workers here at the East End Centre in Wilkes-Barre Township are getting the show on the road, cleaning up this space for the KISS Theatre.
"Sixteen feet high, unobstructed, perfect for a theatre with lots of office space, rehearsal space, etc. attached to it. The only problem is there's nothing in it," said KISS Theatre artistic director David Parmelee.
KISS Theatre stands for "Kids Innovating Stage and Sound." The group is renting the empty space here at the East End Centre in Wilkes-Barre Township. Shopping center owner Joe Amato offered the location when the group was evicted from the Wyoming Valley Mall.
"You feel like you're giving back, and I think that's important. That's one of the reasons I do all my properties and my construction in this area. I love the Valley," said shopping center owner Joe Amato.
Members of the KISS Theatre say they're already putting in the time and the effort, but with a little bit more money, they could put all this stuff to good use. That's why the non-profit theatre group is working to raise money to pay for $170,000 worth of renovations and materials. The group has already raised $50,000. They hope to raise another $60,000 on Friday by getting 2,500 people to donate $25 each online.
The goal? To have the theatre ready for opening night in November.
"It's important for them to donate because this is a place for kids to be kids and have fun and do shows and everything, so we want to keep this company running and running," said Katie Fitzgerald of Mountain Top.
You have until midnight to donate to campaign on the KISS Theatre website.

FRISCO - After a stellar showing at the Southland Conference Indoor Championships last weekend, jumper Johnathon Reece was named the conference's Freshman of the Year on Thursday.
Reece, a native of New Waverly, Texas, finished second in the high jump at last week's meet with a mark of six feet, 8.75 inches, which was the second-best performance by a Southland athlete this season and just 1.25 inches shy of becoming a top five performer in Lamar history.
He also finished ninth in the long jump with a distance of 22 feet, 11 inches.
"Winning Freshman of the Year was something that I came into this season wanting to do," Reece said. "I still think that I could have performed better, but winning it in indoor season is really a big thing for me because I think that I'm more comfortable jumping outdoors. Now I want to go win it again in outdoor season."
"I'm very excited for Johnathon, especially because he's only going to get better from here," head coach Trey Clark said. "Overall, I would say he's had kind of an up-and-down season at times, but that's the life of a freshman. He really stepped it up at conference and performed exceptionally well under all that pressure."
"He's a very good competitor, but we knew that when we brought him in," Clark continued. "I really think that this is something that he can hang his hat on in training and competition. He's already done well, and I think this will only push him to get better."
Reece is the third Lamar track athlete to earn the conference's Freshman of the Year honors, joining current teammate Ryan Creech, who won the award a year ago, and 2007 honoree Francis Kasagule.

Crooks and Liars embedded a video with Neil deGrasse Tyson on the place of science in our society. It's a good interview.
I mention it here because he talks about the taxicab fallacy. He does not use that term, but I think he expresses the basic idea.
The Immoral Minority had a post with another good NdT quote. There is a difference between scientific claims and political claims.
Just yesterday I listened to an episode of the Green News Report in which they covered the climate change "debate" between Bill Nye and Marsha Blackburn. Blackburn kept saying there is no scientific consensus on climate change. There is.
98% of climate scientists say it is happening and caused by humans. It is not a scientific controversy. A scientific controversy is when a sizable proportion of scientists in a field have not been able to make a determination. I do not know what the threshold is to stop saying a thesis is under debate, but I am guessing that it is lower than 98%.
A thesis might conflict with your political ideology. Or your religion. It might hurt your profit margin. It might inconvenience you. But all of those are different than scientific controversies.
Not everyone in this world believes in any sort of god or spirit. And not all who do are christian. And since there are so many denominations, obviously there is a lot of disagreement within christianity. So why don't conservatives apply the same "there is no agreement" logic to their religion?

Because conservatives are idiots?
Sometimes I wonder. Are they idiots or just evil*?
They're smart enough to know that an informed public would demand reductions in fossil fuel consumption and tighter government regulation. Imagine the impact on billion-dollar corporate profits if an educated public and the federal government began a concerted effort to reduce fossil fuel consumption.
This simply will not do. So they spend big money to attack the source of the political threat: an informed public. Then they scuttle back into the shadows, hoping nobody notices the conflict of interest.
"[IRS data for 2003 to 2010 on 91 climate change counter-movement (CCCM) organizations funded by 140 different foundations] shows that these 91 CCCM organizations have an annual income of just over $900 million, with an annual average of $64 million in identifiable foundation support. The overwhelming majority of the philanthropic support comes from conservative foundations. Additionally, there is evidence of a trend toward concealing the sources of CCCM funding through the use of donor directed philanthropies." (source)
The problem with billion-dollar disinformation campaigns is that they work, at least in the short term:
"In response to a survey question in the fall of 2012: Do scientists believe that earth is getting warmer because of human activity? 43% replied no, and another 12 % didn't know. Only 45 % of the U.S. public accurately reported the near unanimity of the scientific community about anthropogenic climate change. This result reflects a broad misunderstanding of climate science by the general public.
"A number of analyses have shown that one major factor driving this misunderstanding and an overall lack of legislative action is a deliberate and organized effort to misdirect the public discussion and distort the public's understanding of climate change. This literature has revealed a great deal about the nature of efforts to deny and/or distort climate science. It clearly shows that a number of conservative think tanks, trade associations, and advocacy organizations are the key organizational components of a well-organized climate change counter-movement (CCCM) that has not only played a major role in confounding public understanding of climate science, but also successfully delayed meaningful government policy actions to address the issue."

*Billionaires using billion-dollar disinformation campaigns to ensure they make billions more, possibly jeopardizing the human race in the process, qualifies as evil in my opinion.
"They're smart enough to know..."
Hasty generalization. The Right has two constituencies - the very rich (including their wanabees) and those stupid enough to believe what the super rich tell them to believe.
"nobody notices the conflict of interest"

Video:How to Brush Teethwith Dr. Lawrence Spindel
Even though you've been doing it for years, it's quite possible that you do not brush your teeth the way a dentist hopes you do. See the best tooth brushing techniques and practices you should be using.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Brush TeethHi, I'm Dr. Lawrence Spindel. I have a dental practice in Manhattan with an emphasis on cosmetic, preventive and implant dentistry. I'm here today for about.com to explain how to properly brush your teeth. Brushing your teeth is probably the single most important thing you can do on a daily basis to keep your mouth healthy.
Many people take it for granted, but if done properly it's very important and it can save your smile. But it actually is technique sensitive and requires some skill.
Create a Brushing RoutineBrushing your teeth should be done in a systematic way. Start brushing in one corner of your mouth and work your way around until you finish an arch. Then switch to a different surface, the inner surface for example, and work your way around until you finish that. Then you can switch to the lower arch or the upper, whichever one hasn't been done, and do the same thing.
I'd like you to, when you're brushing your teeth, to start in the same place every day. You place your tooth brush at a 45 degree angle, resting against the gums and use a very short stroke. Probably going one and a half teeth at any given time. Do that for about 10 seconds. And then move over to the next 2 teeth. Work your way around gradually until you have completed the entire arch. It's ok if it's feeling awkward to switch the toothbrush to a different angle. Most dentists say that brushing your mouth thoroughly should take about 2 minutes. But if you want to, you can spend more time.
When you finish the arch, you can do the inside. When you're doing the inside of the teeth it's better to move the toothbrush vertically and go up and down. Sometimes I use the tip of the brush to clean near the necks of the teeth, which is the most important area. That's probably why most of the toothbrushes have what's called a power tip. This is designed for getting the, especially the upper and lower interiors on the inside.
Brush the Upper TeethWhen you've completed the arches it's important to open wide and brush the occlusal surfaces of all your upper teeth. Switch to the lower arch and do the same thing. Ten seconds for two teeth. Work your way around the arch gradually. It doesn't require a great deal of pressure to have the process be effective. Switch to the other direction, holding the brush the other way.
Brush Teeth InsidesWhen you've completed the outsides of your teeth, switch to the inside. Again, at 45 degree angle. It's perfectly ok to life the toothbrush up vertically and use the power tip to continue brushing. When you reach the lower interiors, move your tooth brush more vertically and switch to an up and down motion. Once you get to your cuspid tooth you can switch back to what you were doing on the other side. And using the front part of the toothbrush to do the cleaning.
Forty five degrees, pick a corner to start at. Short strokes, quick vibrations, quick. As fast as you can, that's it, that's it. I would angle it a little bit higher, like that. Very good. Now gradually work your way around. Ten seconds per area. Let's see you do the inside now. Remember, you got to angle it down. You've got to use the power tip. When you get to the front – you're going to switch it so that it's vertical. And make sure you open your mouth as wide as you can, cause you've got to get near the gums. Go ahead.
I find it helpful to do this in front of a mirror. So, you can actually see where the brush is being placed. Brushing your teeth is probably the single most important thing you can do on a daily basis to keep your teeth healthy.

Madison Handles Mason

If there was one play that typified the kind of night Madison County had, it was the final play of the first half. The ball at midfield, the Mountaineers could have easily gone into the break by taking a knee and enjoyed starting the second half with a three possession lead. Instead Madison coach Stuart Dean decided to give a trick play a whirl and thanks to a lot of running from Ashton Weakly and a timely fumble recovery from Logan Carpenter, the Mountaineers had put the game out of reach. It was just one of those nights, and coming off a tough loss last week to Manassas Park, the 33-7 drubbing of George Mason was exactly the kind of win this team was looking for.
"Defensively we came out and just played attack defense, something we didn't do last week," Dean said. "So it was really good get back on track there, very exciting for our guys. Offensively, we were able to mix it up with the run and the pass. We still have some things we can work on though."
Madison wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as it received the opening kickoff and marched down field before Carpenter punched in the first of his three scores on the night, this one on a run from 10-yards out.
Two possessions later at the beginning of the second quarter, Carpenter broke to the left edge of the field and ran in his second touchdown, a 34-yarder to make it 14-0.
With the running game more than established, Madison went to the air despite the soggy weather and saw success there as well. Quarterback James Graves made 20-0 when he hit Weakly from 26-yards out on a beautifully placed ball to the right corner of the endzone.
Madison got the ball back with little time on the clock, but on the last play from scrimmage of the half, Dean pulled out the reverse. With more than half the defense thinking that it was a fake, Weakly had plenty of daylight ahead of him before the secondary was able to track him down.
"Originally it was designed to be a pass, but I saw it was covered so I just ran down the field," Weakly said. "I was trying to make a play and got tackled, fumbled and then Logan was just there to get a perfect bounce."
With the clock on Carpenter's mind, Weakly had an ironic miscue.
"The whole time he was running down field I was yelling at him, 'Ashton, pitch it! Pitch it! Pitch it!'" Carpenter said. "He didn't hear me though and I was just thinking I hope he fumbles (when he gets tackled) because we had no time left. There was nothing to lose."
With time expired, the receiver's timely fumble bounced right at the goalline as he was being brought down. And as if it had been planned the whole time, Carpenter was there to pick it up and walk in for the touchdown to make it 26-0.
"It was supposed to be a toss-sweep reverse pass," Dean said. "Ashton did what we told him to do (in that situation) though, he backed off the pass and got around the first defender and then made some things happen."
With the rain coming down at a steady pace in the second half, not a lot of accomplished. A drive aided by a pair of costly penalties on third down allowed Mason to work its way into the endzone. The Mustangs were able to cut the deficit down to 19 points on a 1-yard quarterback keeper towards the end of third. However, Madison answered back with Graves' second passing touchdown. On fourth and long from the 12-yard line, the quarterback struck Cole Smith on an impressive throw and catch to wrap up the scoring on the night.
"We needed this," Carpenter said. "We needed something more than just a win. Something to build our confidence back up and I think we got it."
Carpenter finished the game with 18 carries for 150 yards. Weakly had three catches for 62 yards. Smith also hauled in three catches and had 37 yards. Graves was 8 for 11 passing for 145 yards.
"It was weird because usually we have the rule 'if it's raining, don't bother wearing your gloves,'" Weakly said. "But something was just working today."
Madison (3-2, 1-1 Bull Run District) will head up to face rival Clark County on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

My Darkest Secrets: Molested By Two Cousins.There are secrets of my childhood no one knows, not even my parents. I have experienced things no child should have, all behind closed doors. Being sexually molested I feel has put a toll on my life and how I look at it. Around the ages of 8 to about 11 or 12, constant things I've dealt with has been affecting me. Imagine having to do things you didn't and shouldn't even be doing, being held against your will, so someone else can have their pleasure with you, you're crying, but can't make a sound, knowing that may cause you to get hit and being taken advantage of even more. Now imagine that person being a family member…. Just let that sink in for a minute. Now I wanted to tell someone but I just didn't want to stir up any damage, but when I think now, I feel ashamed, guilty, in the wrong because I was becoming a victim to something I may could have stopped early on. In these situations My family and I were living with my aunt and her seven boys and one daughter (my cousins). One day I had stayed home from school because I was sick and my cousin , was home. It was just us alone watching videos, and then he out of no where body slammed me and started dry humping me. I told him to stop but he just slapped me and laughed. Now I was afraid but was more afraid of him hitting me again so I stayed still while he unbutton my clothing and started doing things I didn't want to do. Until finally someone came home and he let me go. I never told a soul. My other cousin, his brother would touch me at night every night, like grabbing my hand and making it massage his private area and rubbing mines and then I would feel this wetness over my body and it was just disgusting. I was about 8-12 so I was unsure of what it came from or what it was. I got tired of it one time and told my cousin, his sister and she told her mom but nothing never happened. Few years later this same person also tried to take my virginity. Another time I cam home early from school and his mom(my aunt) left so it was just him and I there, I had recently started my period, and I thank God because that is what saved me from losing my virginity to my cousin at such a young age. So at this time, he didn't care and started doing things anytime, and when I was home with him, he made me get naked and do things with him, he got bored so he said he was going to stick it in, I was so afraid because I wasn't ready to have sex, I was only 12, as he reached for a condom, I told him please no, I am on my period, and he stopped and put his clothes back on. That was the last time I had ever been touch by either. Soon after my family and I moved out into our own house. These things have affected me and made me close up into a shell and become the person I am today. I always felt I needed help, someone to talk to but I always felt ashamed, guilty, and disgusted because of what happened, and why I never told my parents or anyone. I remember when we would go visit my aunt and cousins, the one who tried to take my v card, would always come up to me and smile and touch my hair and rub my arms and I would feel disgusted and angry because he knew what he had done but he seemed like he knew he had me, it was a terrible feeling. I always get mad at myself. There were plenty of times I grab a bottle of pills, threw on some depressing music and was ready to go. I have a few suicide notes, and each time I write one, when I am finish I realize I have a lot to live for. I am depressed, a very troubled soul, and I ask God for forgiveness and help every night. When I see the two people who I called family, the ones who caused me so much pain, I feel even more hurt and relive the dark times. I say I forgave them, but honestly if I did, then why would I still be affected by it? I don't have the answer for that, and I don't think I ever will. I have a scar tattooed on me that I have been trying to heal and remove for years. I feel I should share my story with other girls who have or are going through secrets similar to mines. Even if no one reads this, typing this all is helping me feel better, a little. This all happened between the ages of 8 and 12, now I am 23, and still dealing with how to completely heal and moving on.
I am 21 and was sodomized regularly by my cousin from ages 3 to 7 and it is effecting me really bad now. I have nightmares and have lost all will to live. I contemplate suicide everyday and have no social life. I want to die
please pass on this so that the other victims might open up
It is not your fault, don't ever think it is. He had control over you that you were affraid of which made you not want to tell. And you can always tell someone if YOU want to dont go by wht others may think go by what's best for YOU and what helps you to overcome this.
Forgive them....And avoid them plssssssss.........Even i was very sad fr weak moments happemed wit me but just forget past and think f future...help others then ur mind wil b positive...god forgives you
At 12 my 26 year old cousin started touching me. It went on for half a year before I told and he moved out of state. I can't imagine having that happen for years. I'm sorry you had to deal with that but you aren't alone. I've been sexually assaulted as well...by a stranger too. If you ever need to talk I'm here. Thanks for sharing.
Well it was really hard to get over and I still think about how it changed me. I dealt with it (at that time) with suppressing it and trying to forget that it ever happened. I hated the way it made me feel when I did think about it or even talk about it, but when I realized I wasn't to blame and that I was an innocent victim I was able to let go, and tell myself that I wasn't going to let it ruin me. When I told people in my family, they said it was my fault for "enticing" my cousin. That really hurt me, but as I grew older I knew that wasn't so. Right now as far as that situation goes I feel at peace. Bug unfortunately a couple months ago I was sexually assaulted by a complete stranger (as mentioned above) that I was powerless against and that has effected me much more than being molested by my cousin. Now, in focusing on getting over that incident. It's hard and takes time but I think eventually you will. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I'm here if you want to talk more in depth.
I'm sorry about what happened to you. I can understand. I went through the same things. But you need to forgive yourself and stay strong. Take care.
That was horrible I hope something helps you feel better

is no secret. America, and the world, is becoming a
more frequently obese society. Not only obese, but morbidly
obese. By some estimates, 400,000 deaths each year can
be attributed to obesity. Morbid obesity has passed
tobacco as the number one cause of preventable death
in the U.S. And, while those numbers are staggering,
they pale in comparison to the millions of individuals
with severe health risks that impact their daily quality
of life. These risks include diabetes, high blood pressure,
sleep apnea, joint problems/pain, back pain, heartburn,
increased cancer risk, infertility, and depression.
Further, we sometimes forget the psychological consequences
of obesity. This includes discrimination, negative self-image,
and social isolation.
about medical treatment for obesity? A successful diet
and exercise program can be expected to produce at most
a 20 pound weight loss. This is almost always temporary
with inevitable weight regain exceeding that which was
lost. Weight loss drugs produce similar results, but
can not be used long term because of side effects. Weight
loss surgery, by comparison, provides permanent weight
loss and will average 60% weight loss of a person's
excess weight (example: if 100 pounds overweight, this
would be 60 pounds). Surgery is the only viable solution
for the morbidly obese person.
can surgery do? It will cure diabetes, sleep apnea,
hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in over 80% of patients.
No other medical treatment available can come close
to that kind of results!! Further benefits include:
life extension by many years, significantly decreased
obesity-related costs (medications, food, health related
care, lost days at work) and a return to an active lifestyle
with friends and family.
are two primary surgeries that are done in the United
States and around the world: Lap Band and Gastric Bypass.
There are differences and similarities between the two.
Gastric Bypass has been around the longest and has the
longest follow-up information (roughly since 1992).
It is still considered the gold standard for weight
loss surgery because of this. Lap Band received FDA
approval in the United States in 2001. It had been performed
in the rest of the world since 1993.
to which procedure you will receive, well, that choice
is up to the patient. There is not a right or wrong
choice. The surgeons at NCSA will explain the details
of both and what the patient must do to be successful.
They may guide you to which surgery would be best for
more: Laparoscopic Banding
| Gastric Bypass Surgery
has truly become an epidemic. The numbers are staggering.
Three in five Americans are either overweight or obese.
In the past 20 years adult obesity has doubled. It is
estimated that there are 10 million morbidly obese people
in the United States. And our children are affected
as well: 17 % of kids aged 2- 19 were overweight in
2004. This is important because we know 75% of obese
children become morbidly obese adults. And finally,
the economic impact is significant: over $200 billion
obesity related costs annually, which is 10% of our
national medical costs. The good news is there are solutions
for you. Spend some time with our surgeons and we will
devise the proper course of action for you.
