3.10-2 Product Liability -
Failure to Warn
Revised to January 1, 2008
plaintiff claims that the defendant is liable under
the Connecticut Product Liability Act because it did
not provide adequate warnings or instructions to
advise users of the product that they would have to
do certain things to avoid being injured by using
the product. Failure to provide adequate warnings
or instructions, where they are necessary,
constitutes a product defect for which a product
seller is liable under the Connecticut Product
Liability Act.
plaintiff claims that <explain the plaintiff s
claim with regard to warnings>.
A product
seller is liable to a party who suffers injury or
loss from the use of a product if the product could
not be used safely by the ordinary consumer without
adequate instructions or warnings.
You must
decide whether a warning was necessary and, if it
was, whether the warning was adequate. In deciding
whether a warning was necessary, you may consider:
the likelihood that the product would
cause the harm suffered by the plaintiff;
the ability of the product seller to
anticipate at the time the product seller put the
product into the stream of commerce that the
expected product user would be aware of the risks
involved in using the product and the nature of the
potential harm;
the technological feasibility and cost
of warnings and instructions.
A product
seller has a duty to warn of hidden dangers in the
use of a product in the ordinary, customary way. A
product seller also has a duty to warn of dangers
that may result from misuse of a product if the
misuse is of a type that the product seller
reasonably should foresee.
A product
seller does not have a duty to provide a warning as
to a danger that is obviously involved in the
customary, ordinary use of the product or that is
obviously present if the product is misused.
A product
seller is not liable for failure to warn of risks
that were not known to it or that it could not
reasonably have foreseen at the time it put the
product into the stream of commerce.
Where the
product seller has provided a warning, it may still
be liable if the warning provided is not adequate to
advise the ordinary user of the nature and extent of
any danger associated with the reasonably
anticipated use, or with the reasonably anticipated
misuse of the product. In assessing whether the
warning that has been provided is adequate, you
should consider whether the danger is one that is
obvious to a user and whether the warning is placed
with proper prominence in relation to the risk to
which the warning applies. To be adequate, a
warning must be devised to communicate with the
person best able to take or recommend precautions
against the potential harm.
A product
seller that provides an adequate warning is entitled
to presume that such a warning will be heeded by the
user, and if the product is safe for use so long as
the warning is heeded, the product is not defective.
A product
seller is not liable for failure to provide a
warning if the plaintiff is aware of the danger.
If you
find that the product is defective because it failed
to provide a warning when one was reasonably
required or because the warning was inadequate, then
you will go on to consider the element of
causation. The plaintiff has the burden of proving
that the lack of a warning, or the lack of an
adequate warning, was a proximate cause of the
plaintiff's injuries. The plaintiff must prove that
if adequate warnings or instructions had been
provided, the plaintiff would not have suffered the
harm. If the plaintiff would have suffered the harm
even if adequate warnings or instructions had been
provided, then the defendant is not liable for
failure to warn.
Statutes § 52-572q; Haesche v. Kissner, 229
Conn. 213 (1994); Sharp v. Wyatt, Inc., 31
Conn. App. 824, aff'd, 230 Conn. 22 (1993);
Giglio v. Connecticut Light & Power Co., 180
Conn. 230 (1980); Gajewski v. Pavelo, 36
Conn. App. 601 (1994), aff'd, 236 Conn. 27 (1996).
In Vitanza
v. Upjohn Co., 257 Conn.
365, 378 (2001), the court held that the "learned intermediary doctrine" was
applicable to product liability claims. "The learned intermediary doctrine
provides that adequate warnings to prescribing physicians obviate the need
for manufacturers of prescription products to warn ultimate consumers
directly. The doctrine is based on the principle that prescribing
physicians act as 'learned intermediaries' between a manufacturer and
consumer and, therefore, stand in the best position to evaluate a patient's
needs and assess [the] risks and benefits of a particular course of
treatment." (Internal quotations omitted.) Id., 376. The learned
intermediary doctrine applies to prescription drugs;
Vitanza, and also to
prescription implantable medical devices such as pacemakers;

When it comes to a potential mate, a new survey finds that men and women are changing their opinions about their "must haves" and "deal breakers."
Among the findings, 65 percent said they would not date someone who had more than $5,000 in credit card debt.
The online survey was conducted by MarketTools Inc. for the Dallas-based dating website Match.com.
Among the "must haves," women want respect and men want someone in whom to trust and confide; both rate a sense of humor as key qualities for a partner.
When judging a potential date, both men and women rate teeth at the top, followed by grammar.

Tools & Resources
So you've made the decision to make your motorcycle your primary vehicle for getting around. Great choice: you'll likely save money on gas, parking, and repairs. But before you ride off into the sunset, plan a regular maintenance routine that will help ensure you'll be riding that bike for years to come.
Developing a motorcycle maintenance checklist can help you avoid costly (and unnecessary) repairs and potential safety issues. It's also a good idea to become familiar with your bike's owner's manual as maintenance requirements can vary between models. If you don't have the owner's manual, you'll likely find it available online.
Check these features regularly:
Tires: Stay aware of the tread depth and look for unusual wear patterns. Always make sure they're at the correct pressure; under-inflated tires are prone to blowouts and over-inflated tires wear more quickly. Here's a quick way to test the wear of your tires: insert a quarter between the grooves of the tire. If the tread doesn't reach past the top of Washington's head, it's probably time for new tires.
Oil: Check the level every week or so and top it off if necessary. Changing your oil is a simple, cheap way to keep your bike in good shape. If your bike is older or you drive it regularly for long distances, you'll need to change your oil more often. Synthetic oil is more expensive, but it makes the need for changes less frequent. Refer to your owner's manual for info on how often to change your bike's oil.
Lights and signals: Check your headlights, brake lights, high and low beams, and turn signals regularly. Since they won't necessarily show wear—and can actually just quit working suddenly—set up a reminder. The last thing you want is to be stranded because your lights stopped working.
Battery: Examine your battery and cables for corrosion or loose connections. Use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean the connections, then scrub with a household toothbrush. Use a voltmeter to test the battery and a charger if it's depleted. You don't want to be caught out in the cold—literally—with a bike that won't start.
Brakes: Keep an eye on brake pad thickness and brake fluid level. When brake pads wear thin, your ability to stop quickly and efficiently is compromised. Top off low brake fluid to the "full" mark or change it according to your owner's manual instructions.
Chain: Use a commercial spray to lubricate the chain liberally and often, especially if you're riding your bike every day. Dryness causes friction that can lead to poor performance or, worse yet, a chain that breaks while you're riding.
Fuel: Examine the fuel lines, keeping an eye out for leaks or other damage.
Oil, air, and fuel filters: Regularly check them to maintain optimal engine performance and efficiency. Your owner's manual will provide replacement intervals.
Steering: Check and tighten your handlebars and the steering nut. Turn the bars to make sure your steering feels smooth and tight and replace the bearings if the steering feels loose in any way.
Even the most dedicated gearhead should take the bike to the shop for service every once in a while. A professional mechanic is trained to spot potential hazards you may have overlooked. The beginning of riding season is a great time for a service appointment, especially if your bike's been stored for the winter.
Proper winter storage is a smart way to prevent service issues. Sitting in the cold for months on end can cause battery drainage, corrosive body rust, and damage to the fuel lines.
Proper riding gear is critical. For starters, you'll need a DOT or Snell-certified helmet, full eye protection, heavy-duty leathers, over-the-ankle riding boots, and full-fingered leather gloves. For info on choosing the right equipment—and what to avoid—check out our gear buying tips.
Staying on top of your maintenance checklist will go a long way toward keeping your bike in top condition. But breakdowns are unpredictable, so be sure to carry a motorcycle repair and tire inflation kit in your storage pouch.

ALAMEDA -- Brian Leonhardt has come so far that he is finally on a first-name basis with Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
Until last week, Olson called Leonhardt "Bemidji" in reference to his having attended Bemidji State University in Minnesota. Other times it was "Bemeedge," which is a mispronunciation, although Leonhardt conceded, "I'm not in any position to correct him."
With Leonhardt thrust into getting work with the first-team offense at tight end because of David Ausberry's knee injury and a lack of experience at the position, Olson actually dropped a "Brian" on him during a meeting.
"I think it was the first time he used my actual name," Leonhardt said.
The Raiders are looking for an in-line tight end to pair with Mychal Rivera, who is listed as a tight end but more often than not is flexed outside, lines up in the backfield or goes in motion.
Leonhardt caught three passes during practice Sunday, and in three seasons at Bemidji State caught 112 passes for 1,431 yards and 15 touchdowns. Still, he is clear on his role.
"I was the leading receiver in three of my four years in college, but my strength was always blocking," Leonhardt said. "In high school we ran a split-back veer, and all I did was block."
Jeron Mastrud, who played in all 16 games for the Raiders last season as the in-line tight end and started 12, had only six catches for 88 yards.
The Raiders waived Leonhardt last year after training camp but signed him to the practice squad, where he remained all season.
"I've seen constant improvement from him every day," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "From his first day here, to now, I mean's he's grown by leaps and bounds."
With two preseason games to play and the Raiders having the ability to look for a veteran tight end before the cutdown to 53 men, Leonhardt is not looking too far ahead, imagining himself on the field Sept. 7 against the New York Jets.
"I'm trying to do everything I can each day to get better," Leonhardt said. "What I'm happy about is the things I wanted to improve on after the first preseason game were better in the second one."
Quarterback Derek Carr, defensive tackle Justin Ellis and defensive tackle Matt McCants sat out while recovering from concussions. Wide receiver Juron Criner is out with a hip injury.
"You've got to read into it a little bit," Woodson said. "We started those games slow and allowed teams to go down the field and put up points. ... We're not circling the wagons or anything like that. We'll be all right."

Genre/Subjects: Crime, Educational, Human Rights, Nature, Student
Programs: Documentary, Spotlight on ColoradoLanguage: English
Special Earth Day screening Monday, April 22nd at 7pm
Activist Tim DeChristopher live via Skype for a post film Q&A
Digital presentation - Tim DeChristopher, an environmental activist, will be released from prison on 4/21. On 4/22 (Earth Day) we're holding a one-night nationwide screening of BIDDER 70, the fantastic documentary that chronicles the act of civil disobedience that landed Tim in prison for the past 2 years. The screening will be followed by a SKYPE Q&A with Tim from the Tower Theater in Salt Lake City. Audiences across the country will be able to submit questions for Tim via Twitter.
BIDDER 70 follows Tim, a University of Utah student, who on December 19, 2008, in a dazzling act of civil disobedience, derailed the outgoing Bush administration's illegal Bureau of Land Management oil and gas auction. As bidder #70, Tim bid $1.8 million and won 22,000 pristine acres surrounding Utah's National Parks. He had no intention to pay or drill. Tim was indicted on two federal felonies with penalties of up to ten years in prison. A personal portrait, BIDDER 70 illuminates how the choices we make deter-mine our future and the world we live in.The Huffington Post called BIDDER 70 "a most inspiring film" and Slant Magazine wrote, "By the film's end, DeChristopher's audacious direct action seems not only heroic, but also accessible, possible, and perhaps one of the few real ways forward."

PINOLE -- A city councilwoman this week muted her recent critique of her Hercules counterpart's enlistment of a Pinole employee to help silence a blogger, explaining that the intent was not to indict -- or defame -- anyone.
At the Nov. 15 meeting of the Pinole/Hercules Wastewater Subcommittee, Pinole Councilwoman Debbie Long had said the recent removal of Pinole City Engineer Dean Allison as project manager for the upgrade of the two cities' jointly owned wastewater plant was "a direct result of the actions of the (Hercules) councilwoman, (Myrna) de Vera,"
De Vera had taken offense at a June 15 posting on Hercules Patch by Hercules resident Kent Von Aspern, an employee of HDR Engineering, which holds the Phase I improvement design contract for the plant upgrade. De Vera notified Allison, who reported the posting to Von Aspern's boss at HDR.
Allison reported back to de Vera in early July that the blogging would stop. When Von Aspern resumed blogging soon after, de Vera emailed Allison, who responded, "this is not good." No postings have appeared under Von Aspern's name on Patch after July.
On Nov. 13, Pinole announced the hiring of its retired former city engineer, Keith Freeman, as replacement project manager for Allison, who remains as Pinole city engineer and public works director. Freeman will be paid $75 an hour, up to $15,000 through the first phase of the plant upgrade design.
At the subcommittee meeting, Long said de Vera's action was costing both cities money. The two cities will split the cost of Freeman's services evenly.
At Tuesday's Pinole City Council meeting, Long said the discussion at the subcommittee the previous week "had nothing to do with an indictment of her (de Vera) or what she did or didn't do -- that was irrelevant."
The discussion was not an indictment of Allison either but "just the opposite," Long continued, adding that Allison has received "a lot of accolades" for his work.
"But it was a perception that has arisen, due to the actions of Councilwoman de Vera, and we had to clear the air on that part of it," Long continued. "So it wasn't a matter of defaming anyone in the process. It was a matter of explaining why ... we replaced ... the project manager."
De Vera said last week she could not comment on what was said at the Nov. 15 wastewater subcommittee meeting because she was absent. The subcommittee consists of Long, Pinole Councilman Tim Banuelos, de Vera and Hercules Mayor Dan Romero.
The subcommittee meeting, meanwhile, has been video-archived on the Pinole city website.
Long said Wednesday that she had not backed down from what she said at the Nov. 15 subcommittee meeting. Rather, she said, she wished to clarify that she commented on de Vera's action, and not de Vera herself.

A portion of a train derailed early Friday at BMW Manufacturing's Spartanburg County facility.
BMW spokeswoman Sky Foster said no injuries occurred as a result of the incident, which occurred just before 6 a.m. on a line headed for Charleston.

Teachers Union, Politicians Angered by Mayor's NRA Comment
The city's teachers union and dozens of politicians – including several mayoral hopefuls – have asked Mayor Michael Bloomberg to apologize for comments that loosely compared the United Federation of Teachers to the National Rifle Association.
Bloomberg — speaking Friday during a weekly radio appearance about stalled negotiations for a new teacher evaluation system — argued that the teachers union, like many groups, is made up of rank-and-file members who don't always agree with their leaders:
"Most of them are not in sympathy with the union. There's a small group in the union — and that's typical of an organization like that. It's typical of Congress. It's typical of unions. It's typical of companies I guess, where a small group really is carrying the ball and the others aren't necessarily in agreement. The NRA is another place where the membership, if you do the polling, doesn't agreement with the leadership."
The NRA comment prompted anger from UFT President Michael Mulgrew, and the politically powerful union sent a letter Sunday to Bloomberg signed by dozens of state and city officials that asks for an apology. They planned to hold a press event Monday at 2 p.m.
"Coming three weeks after the senseless killings in Newtown, CT., such an offensive comparison not only vilifies New York City teachers, but also mocks the work they do every day to educate, uplift and protect our children," the letter said. "You have earned a national reputation for speaking out against the excesses of the NRA. Your comments Friday, however, show astonishingly poor judgment and are unworthy of you, your position and your record."
Presumed mayoral candidates Bill Thompson, Christine Quinn, John Liu and Bill de Blasio all signed the letter.
In response to the request for an apology, Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson said: "As the mayor has said before, the union is a special interest group focused on advancing its agenda whether it's in the public interest or not. Their refusal to agree to a fair evaluation deal is just the latest example of this."

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team will usher in another milestone in its debut season when it plays its first Southland Conference games this weekend at Dugan Stadium. The Islanders will play host to conference foes Southeastern Louisiana (Friday, 4 p.m.) and Nicholls (Sunday, 1 p.m.) on the university's Momentum Campus.
The Islanders wrapped up non-conference play last weekend with a pair of contests against talented foes in the Courtyard Marriott Wilmington Women's Soccer Invitational. A&M-Corpus Christi dropped a 4-2 decision to host UNC-Wilmington and a 3-0 contest at the hands of Elon on the weekend. Freshman Yvette Franco scored two goals in the UNCW match and earned All-Invitational honors.
Franco has been the Islanders' greatest standout on the stat sheet, as she currently is fifth in the nation in goals per game (1.167). The Corpus Christi native has netted seven goals in her six career games, with all of those coming in a four-game stretch. The Carroll High School product has three contests this year with more than one score.
Franco is not the only standout so far this season for the Islanders, though. The team has gotten strong play in goal from senior Audrey Baldwin, as she has turned aside 72.9 percent of opponents' shots on goal.
Southeastern comes into this weekend out to a tremendous start, boasting a 5-1-1 record with its only loss a double-OT heartbreaker at Southern Miss. The Lady Lions have gone into overtime on three occasions, with a win over Louisiana-Lafayette and a tie against Louisiana-Monroe. Southeastern has a 4-0 record against teams from the SWAC on the season.
Kelsey Salcido has paced the offense so far on the campaign, with her six goals trailing only Franco in the Southland and her 18 points putting her atop the league. Casey Peacock has six goals as well on the year, chipping in 15 points, while nine other players have found the back of the net. In goal, Hope Sabadash has been strong, turning aside 38 of the 41 shots she has faced with a 0.46 goals-against average.
Nicholls (6-0-1) is one of just a handful of teams nationally that is yet to suffer a defeat. The Colonels have defeats of ULM (3-2 in overtime) and Louisiana (2-1) to their name, along with a tie against a solid South Alabama program. In addition, Nicholls has posted a 4-0 record against SWAC opponents, needing overtime to knock off Prairie View. The Colonels will play a home match against McNeese State on Friday before coming to the Coastal Bend on Sunday.
The Colonels offense is paced by Spencer Valdespino, with her five goals and 12 points on the season. But Nicholls has four other players with at least three goals on the year, and a total of 12 players have scored goals on the season. Four different keepers have played for the squad, with Taylor Mosley leading the way with an .882 save percentage and 33 saves on the year.
Live video and live stats will be available for both contests, and updates will be provided on Twitter @IslandersSoccer. Tickets can be purchased from the Islanders Athletics Ticket Office by calling 825-BALL (2255) or online at GoIslanders.com.

JONESBORO, Ark. – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team (0-3) was unable to hold off the second half play of Arkansas State (1-1), falling 84-71, Sunday afternoon at the ASU Convocation Center in Jonesboro, Ark. Senior Myeisha Myles had a career-day with 24 points on 10-for-12 shooting and pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds.
Joining Myles in double-digit scoring was sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks with a season-high 12 buckets and junior Jessica Jammer tallied 11 points and grabbed down seven rebounds in her first start of the season.
The Red Wolves were led offensively by three players in double-digits in a game that featured nine lead changes and three ties. Jane Morrill had 31 points in 37 minutes of play while Ashley Olvera had 21 points on 3-of-7 three point shooting, and Meghan Lewis added 17 points.
The Islanders and Red Wolves battled back-and-forth, before Texas A&M - Corpus Christi took the lead at the 8:49 mark in the first half off a Myles layup in the paint. The Islanders went on an 8-0 run that started with back-to-back threes by freshman Trish Amboree and Anderson-Sparks that put the Islanders up 23-18 with 6:12 left in the half. Amboree then followed up with a layup in the paint to take the 25-18 lead.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi shot 46 percent from the field (29-63) to the Red Wolves 43.5 percent from the field (30-69). The Islanders' bench outscored Arkansas State 12-7. The Islanders had a season-high 12 assists and led the Red Wolves in the paint 42-34.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi maintained the lead going into halftime up 37-31.
The Red Wolves got hot from behind the arc taking the 58-57 lead in the second half with 11:12 left to play. Back-to-back three pointers by Olvera put Arkansas State up for good 71-61 with 7:34 left in the game.
Myles led all scorers with 10 points and seven rebounds at the half. Trish Amboree added nine points. The Islanders shot 50 percent from three-point land and tallied 20 points in the paint behind 41 percent shooting.
At the half the Red Wolves were led by Lewis with nine points and Morrill chipped in eight. Mekena Randle led the team in rebounds with seven. Arkansas State's head coach Brian Boyer earned his 200th career win with the victory.
The Islanders will return home to face Iona at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at the American Bank Center. The game is part of a double header with the men's basketball team. Tickets for both games are as low as $8 and are available at GoIslanders.com or by calling 825-BALL (2255).

Members of the Oak Ridge High School Orchestra directed by Jenifer VanTol, recently participated in the Tennessee All East and All State orchestras.
For the All East orchestra, they competed with other students from all over East Tennessee, and 19 students from the Oak Ridge High School Orchestra were selected to play in the orchestra.
The students spent Feb. 7 to 9 at the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg for a weekend of intense rehearsals culminating in a final concert conducted by Alex Jimenez of Florida State University. They performed music by Kirt Mosier, Arturo Marquez and Vaughn Williams.
Three students from ORHS with the highest scores in these very competitive auditions had the opportunity to perform with the Tennessee All State orchestra with other top musicians from all over the state.
They met at the Chattanooga Tivoli Theater from April 10 to 13 to rehearse and ultimately perform Stravinsky's "Firebird" Suite, Gershwin's "American in Paris," Berlioz "Roman Carnival Overture" and "Mambo" from Bernstein's "West Side Story." The conductor of the All State Orchestra was Steven Byess who also conducts the Tupelo Symphony Orchestra and the Arkansas Philharmonic.

DETROIT -- It's déjà vu all over again.
The Detroit Tigers rallied from an early three-run deficit, erasing the A's hopes of clinching the American League Division Series on Tuesday with an 8-6 victory that had more drama than the entire group of pictures at the last Oscars ceremony.
In the end, the Tigers went from elimination to survival and from Max Scherzer starting Game 5 to Justin Verlander, because Scherzer pitched two yo-yo innings of relief. Game 1 starter Scherzer picked up the win even after putting five of the 11 men he faced on base.
That leaves Verlander to reprise his role. Twelve months ago, Verlander was the Game 5 starter who eliminated the A's in the ALDS.
Before Tuesday's game, the A's were set to pitch Bartolo Colon in Game 5, but manager Bob Melvin appears to be leaning toward Sonny Gray. The 23-year-old rookie threw eight shutout innings against the Tigers in Oakland on Saturday.
That drama will play out in due time. The A's, who have fashioned themselves as the ultimate one-game-at-a-time team, now might have only one game left. It's win or stay home, and to win they're going to have to beat Verlander, who has allowed one run in his past three postseason starts against them.
"We have much more experience this year than we did last year," A's first baseman Brandon Moss said. "We hadn't played them in a Game 5 before. Now we have. We know what to expect."
In truth, the A's expected to close this series out in four games. They took an early 3-0 on an RBI single and a two-run home run by Jed Lowrie, and for four innings, starter Dan Straily allowed just one runner. But with two men on in the fifth, one pitch got away from Straily. Jhonny Peralta hit a tying three-run homer, and from that point the A's and Tigers were riding waves of emotion that at times favored both teams.
Straily came back to retire six of the next seven men he faced, thinking "I halted their momentum a little bit there," he said.
And the A's jumped back in front when Scherzer took over in relief to start the seventh. At first it looked like a terrible gaffe by manager Jim Leyland. Stephen Vogt singled, Eric Sogard moved him up with a bunt, and Coco Crisp singled him home with the third of his four hits. The A's were back in front, 4-3.
That meant Melvin had both the lead and his bullpen, one of the best in the game, set up the way he wanted. The first man he went to, Sean Doolittle, saw Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez take him over the wall. That's not to say it was a home run. Right fielder Josh Reddick made a leap for the ball, and he said he might well have caught it had a fan not gotten in the way.
The umpiring crew was split on what the call should be, but after a brief view of the play on videotape, they didn't see enough evidence to take the tying homer off the board. Moments later, the Tigers went in front when Peralta doubled and Austin Jackson, who struck out his first three times at-bat, "shattered his bat into six or seven pieces," Doolittle said, for a go-ahead single.
Just like that, the Tigers had their first lead since Game 1.
It seemed like momentum was all Detroit's. Surely Scherzer wasn't going to blow up here. But that's just what happened. Moss walked to start the eighth, Yoenis Cespedes doubled, and Seth Smith was intentionally walked. Now it was the Tigers who had their backs to the wall. The A's ostensibly could afford a loss. Detroit couldn't, and the A's had the bases loaded and none out with Reddick up.
Scherzer, the favorite to win the A.L. Cy Young Award with a 21-3 record, muscled up with a flurry of fastballs, the softest of which came in at 97 mph to Reddick. The outfielder worked the count full, then Scherzer went against the book and threw a changeup that broke inside.
"The changeup looks just like the fastball," Reddick said. "That's what makes him so tough. He'd just thrown me seven, all 97, 98. I swung at that (fastball motion). It was a (gutsy) pitch."
Scherzer struck out Vogt and got Alberto Callaspo to line out, Callaspo in particular getting good swings.
If that didn't deflate the A's, what happened next surely did. Ryan Cook got two quick outs in relief but put two men on base, and reliever Brett Anderson came on. In short order, he issued a walk to load the bases, a wild pitch to score a run and a two-run double down the third-base line. Suddenly, a 5-4 game had become an 8-4 game.
Oakland got two runs on Cespedes' two-out single in the ninth, but Smith, the potential tying run, struck out to end it.
The A's do get another shot at Verlander, and unlike last year, they have a day off to prepare for him.
"These games happen," Crisp said. "Now we just have to press the reset button, just like we've done all year."

PALO ALTO -- Tesla Motors revealed Thursday that it is drastically ramping up electric car production with a new assembly line at its Fremont factory and broke ground on a potential site for its much anticipated battery "gigafactory" just across the California border in Reno.
The Palo-Alto based company reported Thursday that it delivered 7,579 all-electric Model S sedans in the second quarter and increased its expectations for 2014 deliveries to more than 35,000 cars. By the end of next year, Tesla expects its delivery rate to exceed 100,000 units per year. That number will include both the Model S and its next car, the Model X, a crossover SUV scheduled to come out in 2015.
Tesla shares were up slightly in after-hours trading on a tough day for the market.
In a letter to shareholders Thursday, the company announced it has broken ground in Reno, Nevada, on a site that could "potentially be" the location for the massive battery factory it plans to build in partnership with Panasonic. However, Tesla said it is still evaluating several locations in four other states, leaving hope that California is still a contender, along with Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Tesla's audacious plans for the $5 billion gigafactory, which will occupy roughly 10 million square feet and eventually employ 6,500 workers, has set off a fierce competition among states hoping to land what has become one of the nation's most intriguing economic development prizes due to its promise of highly sought-after manufacturing jobs.
"Tesla was born in California and currently employs over 6,000 people, making them the largest automotive company in the state," said Brook Taylor, a spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown's Office of Business and Economic Development. "The administration is working every day to help companies expand in California, and Tesla is certainly one of those companies."
Speculation about Reno had been rampant after an electric-vehicle advocate in Nevada posted photographs of the construction site, which was known by the code name "Project Tiger." But the gigafactory is a huge strategic move for Tesla and Panasonic, and Tesla is keeping its options open while trying to get the best tax and incentive package from the competing states.
"We want to make sure the gigafactory deal is compelling for all parties," CEO Elon Musk said during a conference call with analysts. "In Nevada, the ball is in the court of the governor and the state legislature."
Jennifer Cooper, a spokeswoman for Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's Office of Economic Development, said Thursday that discussions with Tesla are confidential and ongoing.
"The final site for the first gigafactory will be determined in the next few months, once we have full visibility and agreement on the relevant incentives and processes for enabling the gigafactory to be fully operational to meet the timing for Model 3," Tesla said in a shareholders letter published Thursday.
Tesla also announced Thursday that it has signed an agreement with Panasonic to partner on the gigafactory. Each Model S is powered by more than 7,000 lithium-ion battery cells, which Tesla buys from Panasonic. While the battery cells are similar to those used in laptops and game consoles, Tesla's were jointly developed by Tesla and Panasonic specifically for electric vehicles.
Reno, with its proximity to Tesla's Fremont factory, has always been considered a top contender, and Sandoval and U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., have been actively engaged in making northern Nevada's case to Tesla.
The gigafactory is expected to drive down the cost of battery packs, which is key to making electric cars more affordable. Tesla plans to sell its Model 3 for roughly $35,000, or about half the cost of the cheapest Model S.
"By building its own battery facility, Tesla can take full control of its battery supply and eliminate that restraint, a shift that could mesh effectively with increased global distribution and demand from China," said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "But long-term sustainability and profitability will require a high-volume, affordable model with widespread appeal. That remains the big challenge Tesla must overcome in the next few years."
Tesla said sales of the Model S are "off to a very encouraging start in China," with deliveries concentrated in the areas around Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.
The electric-car maker lost $60.7 million, or 50 cents a share, on $769 million in sales in the second quarter.
"The most important statement is the 100,000 run rate at the end of next year," said Ben Kallo, an analyst with R.W. Baird.

Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have access to:
For more information about the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, visit their Web site
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been accredited by the Joint Commission, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality healthcare services. This voluntary accreditation signifies that the hospital's efforts to provide highest-quality healthcare have received professional and national recognition through stringent evaluation and consultation from the Joint Commission.
For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients and their families. Mid-Columbia was the first Alliance affiliate to adopt and embrace, hospital-wide, Planetree's philosophy of patient-centered care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the Planetree vision into its facility.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been recognized for its outstanding commitment to performance excellence and has received the Oregon Quality Award, which is based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The award is given to industry leaders who have achieved outstanding performance evaluations in leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources, process management and organizational outcomes.
Celilo has received the highest-possible rating by the independent organization that surveys and evaluates cancer centers nationwide, The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2013 Celilo received accreditation "with commendation."
Celilo's overall approval rating indicates that, after a thorough examination of 36 standards of care and reporting, a CoC surveyor found zero deficiencies. Approval with commendation is an even loftier citation that means Celilo staff also eclipsed CoC standards in each of nine additional measurements.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center was named as one of seven Oregon companies to demonstrate outstanding commitment to families and community. The Families in Good Company Award is a reflection of Mid-Columbia's dedication to helping employees manage work and family demands, with such benefits as flexible work schedules, job sharing, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, on-site child care and wellness programs.

After suffering a heart attack or other heart-related event, patients often find increasing their level of physical activity to be an exercise in anxiety.
A new program at Water's Edge is designed to ease those feelings of trepidation. Classes supervised by an exercise specialist are being offered for those who no longer need continuous heart rhythm monitoring but who are not quite ready to start exercising independently.
"The biggest benefit is that participants will be exercising in a safe place," says Brandon Strizich, exercise specialist and fitness manager at Water's Edge. "The program provides peace of mind, with monitoring by a professional."
The classes are open to anyone with a physician's referral. After an individual assessment, participants will begin a supervised exercise program tailored to their specific needs. The emphasis is on aerobic exercise, using fitness equipment that includes treadmills, stationary bicycles and upper-body strengthening exercise focused on improving cardiovascular conditioning.
The length of time participants spend attending the program will depend on their progress and readiness to continue conditioning on their own. Classes will meet twice a week at Water's Edge. Some private insurance programs will pay for the cardiac exercise development program.
There are typically four phases involved in cardiac rehabilitation. Phase 1 begins while a patient is still hospitalized, with intensive medical and rehabilitation assistance that continues in the outpatient setting. It extends into the patient's home and community as he or she works toward optimal heart health.
One of the biggest advantages of the classes at Water's Edge is that they allow people facing the same medical and physical issues to work together and support each other as they work toward optimal health.
The second phase involves the beginning of physical exercise, with constant monitoring of heart rhythm normally required. MCMC already offers the first two phases of cardiac rehabilitation. The new cardiac exercise program at Water's Edge is part of the third and fourth phases of rehabilitation, when a patient moves toward self-sufficiency.

Night Lighting: Would You Choose Safety or the Stars?
The street you live on, your neighbor's garage or even your own back porch probably has one: a light that goes on when it gets dark. Most likely, it was installed with the hope that it would make your neighborhood a safer place to live.
The conventional wisdom is that better outdoor lighting deters criminals — those who would do their dastardly deeds in the cover of darkness. But whether or not the facts bear that out, we do know that lighting up the night eradicates something else: the ability to see the stars in the night sky.

Croatia is one of the ecologically best preserved parts of Europe. It is a land where the hues of the sunny and warm Mediterranean happily blend with the tranquillity and freshness of mountains and the gentle sway of the golden plains of Pannonia. A land of truly divine inspiration that has delighted many of the world's prominent men of letters. A rare European landscape which boasts as many as eight national parks in so small an area!
With Risnjak, Paklenica, the Plitvice Lakes and Northern Velebit in the mountainous area, and with the Kornati Archipelago, the island of Mljet, the Brijuni Archipelago and the Krka waterfalls in the coastal area, Croatia is indeed a jewel of the primeval beauty of nature. Adding to that two arboretums, one in Trsteno, near Dubrovnik, and Opeka, near Vinica, numerous historical parks and protected nature parks, it is indeed a green land, with as many as 4300 plant and as many animal species.
Do not delay: sail the azure blue waters of the Adriatic and discover the island which is one of the last habitats of the griffon vulture in Europe. For dedicated nature lovers in Croatia you can put to sea with an adopted dolphin or, if you are particularly lucky, encounter the mysterious and rare Mediterranean monk seal. Whatever you decide to do, you will find that this is a place where the colours of nature are at their warmest and fullest.
The Brijuni Archipelago National Park comprises the islands of Veli Brijun, Mali Brijun and twelve smaller isles. These islands have been an oasis of rest since the times of Antiquity. Consequently, quite apart from their natural beauties they are also the setting for interesting historical sites. On the largest of the islands there are tracks and trails ideal for cycling along, while the smaller ones are best explored by kayak.
The Kornati archipelago is the most densely grouped cluster of islands in the Mediterranean, consisting of 152 islands, isles and reefs strewn between the islands of Dugi otok and Žirje, with high cliffs on Klobučar, Mana and Rašip Veli. Around the isle of Purara, towards the open sea, there is a special submarine reserve. Although the individual islands are small in area they are attractive not only as a part of kayaking and sailing routes but also as a hiking destination. Clean, clear waters teeming with life are perfect for diving and fishing.
For two-thirds of its course this virginally pure karstic river, with its seven magical waterfalls and which rises near the town of Knin, flows through canyons. The area is exceptionally rich in endemic flora and fauna, containing 222 types of bird. The watermills along the rivers and above the waterfalls, ruins of fortifications rising above the canyons, the picturesque mouth of the River Čikola above Skradinski buk waterfall - all are specific features of the river landscape. The Krka's estuary, the 23.5 km-long Lake Pruklja, which reaches up to Skradinski buk is rich in shellfish, freshwater and saltwater fish. Sitting in Lake Visovac, between Roški slap and Skradinski buk (13 km) waterfalls, is a tiny island upon which, set amid a park of sylvan charm, is a Franciscan monastery with a long history. The Krka Monastery (Arhanđelovac) is located in the area of Kistanje, at the point where the canyon widens. The quiet river and lakes are ideal for canoe and kayak tours, but for which it is necessary to obtain a special permit.
The national park occupies the western, wooded part of the Island of Mljet. Five different types of forest and remnants of a primeval forest, numerous song birds, and the habitat of the snake (or short-toed) eagle which feeds on non-venomous snakes and lizards. A small, saline lake is linked to a larger lake by a canal. In the middle of that lake is the tiny isle of St Maria on which there is a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. It is possible to reach the most cunningly hidden beaches and sea caves, going beyond the boundaries of the lake and the park, by canoe or kayak; or to walk the shaded paths to Illyrian hill forts or the cliffs on the side of the island facing the open sea; or cycle to its karstic plains or the island settlements and view their traditional architecture, ancient churches, charming wine cellars and taverns offering local specialties.
The widest part of the Velebit massif - edged on the seaward side by bare rocks, and on the mainland side by wooded plains - extends from the Vratnik Pass (698 m) on the road Otočac-Senj, to Veliki Alan (1379 m). The peak of Zavižan (1594 m), where there is a mountain lodge and a botanical garden, is an excellent starting out point for hiking and riding expeditions. The area offers serious challenges for experienced mountain bikers, climbers, fliers and speleologists. The ridge trail, known as the Premužić Trail, leads through the Rožanski kukovi reserve and offers breath-taking views of the sea and the islands all the way to the Island of Rab, as well as to the Hajdučki kukovi reserve, which is subject to a strict preservation regime.
The awe-inspiring torrent gorges of Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica which run parallel to each other offer an insight into the unspoilt wilderness that exists not far from the beaches of the Croatian side of the Adriatic Sea, and rank among the most attractive natural areas in the whole of the Mediterranean: dense forests of black pine and beech, watering points for game and delicious springs issuing from beneath the highest peaks of Velebit. Velika Paklenica is a veritable climbers' Mecca, while cave lovers are drawn by the formidable Manita peć. A rocky trail leads to the entrance into the park, through the gorge to a mountain lodge (6 km). Several other organized shelters are to be found across the mountain. Mala Paklenica, with its dry bed and untamed wilderness of rugged karst and endemic plants and animals, should be negotiated only by experienced hikers.
A wondrous creation of forest landscapes snuggling between the mountains of Mala Kapela and Plješivica; a system of sixteen lakes interlinked by numerous waterfalls. The largest and highest of these lakes, resting on a dolomite bed, are Prošćansko jezero (639 m) and Kozjak; the lower lakes, covered in a layer of limestone, splash in a waterfall 136 m down, from whence the River Korana issues. The area also includes the primeval forest reserve of Čorkova uvala, where 120 types of bird and numerous caves still further enhance this unique landscape. The mountain climate makes for snow and ice across the mountains, forests, lakes and waterfalls from November to March. This park offers quite the most beautiful cycling and walking paths anywhere in Europe. If opting to travel instead by canoe, a special permit is required.
The western mountain massif linking the Alps with the Dinaric range, encompassing Veliki Risnjak (1528 m) and Snježnik (1506 m) abounds in karstic phenomena - rifts, abysses, gravel areas, caves and potholes; large areas are covered by mature coniferous forests, mountain pastures, sub-Alpine and Alpine flora, of which many species are endemic. Bears, wolves, chamois, Alpine deer, wild boar and lynx are the largest members of the animal world hereabouts. Mountain rivers and streams provide habitats for common trout and other fish of the Salmonidae family. Risnjak is extremely interesting for mountaineers and mountain bikers, while the River Kupa is ideal for kayaking and canoeing.

Rhones of personality: Collin Cranor of Livermore's Nottingham Cellars has a knack for crafting Rhone-style wines of distinction, so it only makes sense to put a face, literally, to those varietals. The winemaker's new brand, Vasco Urbano Wine Company, showcases these exceptional Rhones with a caricature on each label that relates to or represents the varietal.
The inspiration came from a book by Anne Marshall Homan and Richard W. Finn: "Vasco's Livermore, 1910: Portraits from the Hub Saloon." It's a collection of caricature drawings by Urbano Lorriero, an Australian artist who traveled through Livermore in 1910 drawing the town's people. Cranor wanted to capture and tell their stories while representing his wines: The crisp 2013 Grenache Rose ($24) is called Speck, named after a soda shop owner who traipsed through town selling ice on a horse-drawn carriage. The wines are available in the Notthingham Cellars tasting room or at the Wine Steward in Pleasanton. Details: www.facebook.com/vuwine.
Doodle that label: Always wanted to sketch your own label? Scratchpad, a new brand from Buellton-based Terravant Wine Company, allows wine lovers to draw their own label at the time of purchase. Each bottle of Central Coast wine -- they offer a 2011 chardonnay ($13), 2012 sauvignon blanc ($11) and 2011 pinot noir ($15) -- has a blank label and comes with a charcoal pencil so that you can write or draw whatever you want on the bottle. Lorde lyrics? A dinosaur? Self-portrait? Up to you -- and all Instagram worthy. The wines will be available in July. Find out more at www.terravant.com.
Seo's summer sippers: Want to preserve our planet? Drink wine. Well, specifically, green living expert Danny Seo's new Philosophy Wines. The author and nationally syndicated columnist (who was born on Earth Day, by the way) has partnered with Patianna Organic Vineyards in cool-climate Mendocino to release two screw-capped beauties: A fruit-forward 2011 Zinfandel (80 percent old-vine) and a lemony 2012 sauvignon blanc. They retail for $19.99 and are available at www.philosophywine.com.

Good but not excellent
Slight shipping damage and quality of wood could have been better but once assembled it appears to be well designed and solid, worth the money but company should package better.Read More
Great little island for a small kitchen
This is a great added piece to a small kitchen, add's some counter space as well as some storage- Looks exactly how pictured you do need to treat the wood from time to time.Read More
Awesome Kitchen Island
Build well and perfect for my kitchen. Provides plenty of space for my pots and pans and a great food preparation area on top.Read More
This is a very nice piece of furniture but really hard to assemble. I hired someone todo it for me and he had a few negative comments to make about the directions. The finished product is good and exactly serves the purpose of moveable work surface. It's also very good looking.Read More

Beautiful Island but wish the finish was different
I really like the island. It's perfect for a small space. It's not super hard to build but does require patience. I missed the step of putting the bars that allow the leaf to work on somehow! It is in the directions at the end but it's not super clear so pay attention there. There is no finish on the top and it stains easily so another note to be careful. However, it's beautiful and I am very happy with it.Read More
Kitchen Cart
It took me about 2.5 hours to put together alone (I am 5' 3", 105 lbs woman). Assembly is ok but not super straight forward like assembling frame less Euro cabinets (Instruction is good). 2 person will be better for assembling doors. After completed, the cart seems pretty strong. Caster rolls nice. Drawer rolls fine and I am happy with how the drawer rolls in/out (they are standard epoxy coated drawer roller slides). The veneer wood on particle board seems thick enough (not melamine top finish that you see on particle board). Looks like either thicker or comparable to the wood veneer top on cabinet grade plywood). The assembly uses lots of dowels and fair amount of screws. But after putting together the whole unit, it holds up pretty strong. What I like: The doors are very solid doors Butcher block is heavy, nice, solid looking and really good I love the flip top butcher block and hinges the hold the flip top Love the spice rack What I don't like Back, side panel, drawer bottom and drawer back are particle boards (It was already stated in the Q&A section that back and side are particle boards. So I know what I was getting. Cabinet grade plywood will put the cost higher. So you can't blame it.) I was disappointed with the particle board drawer bottom. I plan to change out with plywood from local home depot or lowe's later. The connection to the drawer front to the drawer side assembly is very shaky every time I pull the drawer out because I could not tighten the special screw provided no matter how I adjusted it. May be it is me and not the screw. I will add L-bracket to secure the front to the side. Nothing structural but just that shaky front every time I pull the drawer. The door assembly with dowels. You can only put the bottom brace in after sliding in all the doors. If you need to take out the door for certain reason (repair for dent or whatever), you need to remove the bottom brace. I guess putting the hinges on side rails might weaken the structure of the cart in the long run since the side rails carry the majority of the weight. Dowels go into the top and bottom rails. These rails are thicker and hold the cabinet to make it square(it seems) rather than carrying all the weight). But doors open and closes fine. Feels sturdy.Read More
Do NOT Purchase
For the price paid, this piece is not worth your money or your sweat. Aside from the fact I paid over *** to put together my own piece of furniture, it is not *** quality. The drawer is the worst part. First off- it's super cheap siding. Secondly, it does not slide properly and is incredibly frustrating to use...so I don't. The rest of it just feels chintzy. The towel rack came to me broken, but I wouldnt bother putting it on anyway because it's cheap and too small. The fact that the wood does not have a finish is just dumb. It's rough and will probably stain soon. I cannot believe I paid so much for this cart. It's definitely not worth it.Read More
Very pleased with this product!
The island was not difficult to assemble. We thought the wood color on the front piece of the drawer was a lighter than the rest of the island, so we called the company and they sent another, darker piece immediately, which matched the rest of the island perfectly. The wood is beautiful and the quality is great. We now need to put the Butcher's Oil on the island; I know it will be even more attractive with that on it.Read More
Catskills Island
I received the Island a week ahead of schedule. The packaging was dinged up, but the island was in perfect condition, packaged well. There is a lot of color variances in the wood, but I think it looks great. The variance in color gives it character. Doors open and close well, and do not "hit" or "rub" and drawer slides smoothly. As others have mentioned the bottom of the drawer is pretty light weight, but I'm putting plastic utensils in it, not lead bricks :) It did take my husband and I about 3 hours to put together, and we are fairly adept at handy-work, but it was worth it. All pieces were there, no stripped screws, bent brackets, etc. One package of screws was not labeled the same as shown in the book, but using common sense it was not a problem. Over all the product was as described, well made, fit together nicely, and instructions were fairly easy to follow.Read More

What are the dimensions different with drop leaf down?
Hello Karen, the table with the drop leaf up is approximately 38 inches wide x 26.5 inches wide x .875 inches thick. With the drop leaf down it is approximately 38 inches wide x 16.5 inches deep x .875 inches thick. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can this item be lightly sanded and stained to match our existing cabinets? Is the top removable so I can put my own granite on it? What is the depth of the actual cabinet without the top? Thanks.
Hello edemoret1, We do not recommend any alterations to our items as the alterations will void any warranties as well as make the item non-returnable.

What parts of this island contain the hardwood veneers?
Thank you for contacting us katt1821. The side and back panels. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
The name says flat panel door, but the photo has shaker doors. 1) Is it just the wrong picture and I can count on these being flat panel doors? 2)Are the flat panel doors in other items from this brand really flat panel door products? (I'm afraid that two photos were swapped and I will end up with the wrong product.)
Hello jennifergiles, This kitchen island has received excellent reviews! I apologize for the confusion; the images are correct. This does have flat panels doors, which means just the panel is flat, not the entire door. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Does this come in a painted finish? Or is it able to be painted over the oil finish?
Hello bowach, This particular item does not come in a painted finish, you may want to search for "Movable island" which will bring up some options that you can choose from. If you decide to paint, make sure that the paint you use is compatible with the oil that is in the wood.

December 26, 2006
VIDALIA, Ga.---3,000 transplants are done each year in the United States, but we rarely meet the people behind them. In this Special Assignment, we introduce you to a Georgia couple celebrating perhaps the biggest gift either has ever received.
Cheryl Cottle and Sonny Graham are in love, and their story starts in the least likely of places: an operating room.
"It was very easy to fall in love with him," Cheryl told News 12.
But nothing was easy about their journey. In fact, this couple shares an intimate secret that runs deep--so deep not even those in the medical field can explain it.
It began in 1988 when Cheryl married then-husband Terry Cottle in Charleston, South Carolina.
"Friends and family were his top priority. There was nothing he wouldn't do for any of them," Cheryl said.
The Cottles were happy. Terry worked as an EMT and was active in the community, even coaching his son's baseball team. But on March 16, 1995, that family life would be flipped upside down.
"It s still really hard for me and the kids to talk about," Cheryl said.
Terry was rushed to the hospital after being hit by a bullet. There, doctors declared him brain dead.
Cheryl then made one of the hardest decisions of her life: to donate her husband's organs.
Nancy Kay is the founder of Lifepoint, Inc.
"We work specifically with donor families to make sure they understand the donation process...that they understand what's going to take place," she explained.
In total, five of Terry's organs were matched with recipients. Among them was 57-year-old Sonny Graham.
"My heart rate had gone down to about 38 beats a minute, and that s way below normal," Sonny said.
Sonny was given just six months to live. His only chance of survival was a heart transplant.
"My minister walked up beside the bed as they were taking me to O.R., and he said, 'You're not afraid, are you?' I said, 'Not in the least'."
Five days after Terry's accident, Sonny underwent surgery at Charleston's Medical University Hospital. It was a success; doctors replaced his heart with Terry's.
Months later, Sonny wrote a letter to Cheryl, thanking her. That letter would spark a storm of affection, and eventually the two agreed to meet.
"It was like he just knew who I was instantaneously, and we had an immediate bond," Cheryl said. "It was incredible."
"I couldn't believe what was going through my whole body," Sonny said.
It was a gut feeling that neither expected and neither could deny.
"She was different," Sonny said.
The same woman who had given him his heart had stolen it.
"This is a love story," Kay said. "And it's a love story for mankind. She didn't know who these organs would be going to."
Today, the couple is married. They've been married for two years and lead a simple life in southeast Georgia.
And Sonny swears that at each sight of Cheryl, his heart still skips a beat.
"It's a relationship that a lot of people should have," he said.
Over 94,000 people are in the same shoes Sonny was just eleven years ago, waiting for an organ transplant. There are over 700 in South Carolina alone. If you're interested in learning more about organ donations, visit your local DMV to pick up a donor card, or visit lifepoint-sc.org.
