Wild boar attacks and injures 4 people in Berlin
Published: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 7:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 7:39 a.m.
BERLIN (AP) — Berlin authorities say they shot and killed a 120 kilogram (265-pound) wild boar after it attacked and injured four people including a police officer in a residential neighborhood.
Police said Tuesday the boar bit a 74-year-old man on the back and leg, and knocked a 74-year-old woman to the ground and injured her hip on Monday afternoon in the Charlottenburg area of the capital. It also bit a 24-year-old woman before she climbed aboard a parked car to safety. All three were treated in a hospital.
Police say when a police officer arrived, the boar attacked him and cut his leg before he pulled his gun and killed the animal with "multiple shots."
Wild boars are relatively common in green Berlin, though rarely cause problems beyond digging up gardens.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Never before have so few fought for the right of so many to wear so little.
Well, it wasn't exactly like Churchill and the Battle of Britain, but the handful of activists opposing a nudity ban in what's arguably the nation's most liberal and libertine city gave it their all and then some.
In the end, the specter of unchecked bareness was too much even for a city where usually anything goes, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 on Tuesday to enact a public nudity ban.
Moments later, boos and a sudden shedding of clothes by aggrieved audience members led to a hastily called recess as naked people loudly and lustily voiced their displeasure.
Gerhardt Clarke, 55, of Oakland wore only a white stocking cap, white socks and white underwear briefs as he shouted about recalling Supervisor Scott Wiener, the ban's author.
Clarke said he's confident he'll be able to keep on going starkers. Activists last week filed a pre-emptive lawsuit to block the city from implementing the ordinance, seeking redress for the right to undress. "This lawsuit will wipe out these fascist clones," Clarke predicted.
Others more soberly assessed what the ban says about a city that prides itself on openness.
"We used to say two men kissing was bad for children to see, but now we've learned better," Taylor Whitfield, 25, clothed, said in the corridor outside. "This is a step backward."
Even a city as comfortable as San Francisco with random, once-in-a-while nudity got the heebie-jeebies in recent years as more people, particularly a group of men in the predominately gay Castro district, took to walking around in the altogehter all the time.
The supervisors one year ago passed an ordinance requiring nude people to put something -- a towel, or maybe ... a newspaper?!? -- between their bare behinds and seats in public places; it also banned nudity in restaurants.
But outcry from city residents and business owners continued, and so Wiener -- a gay Democrat whose district includes the Castro -- introduced the ordinance to ban exposure of rear ends and genitals on public streets, sidewalks and transit. Naked breasts are still OK, as is nudity for children younger than 5 or for anyone at city-permitted parades, fairs and festivals such as the Folsom Street Fair, Pride parade and Bay to Breakers race.
A first citation would bring a fine of up to $100; a second in the same year would cost up to $200; and a third would bring a fine of up to $500 or could be charged as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.
Wiener at Tuesday's meeting noted his ordinance is far narrower than the broad ban that's been in effect for decades in the city's parks and port.
"For many years, public nudity has been part of San Francisco. ... For many years it wasn't a big deal, and few people cared," he said, but now it's a constant occurrence in a neighborhood where people live and work. "It's very much a 'Hey, look what I have mentality,' and we're seeing it in some other neighborhoods as well."
Supervisors John Avalos, David Campos, Jane Kim, Eric Mar and Christina Olague opposed the ban. Campos said this shouldn't be a police priority; Olague called the ban "a solution in search of a problem," given that the nudity is limited mostly to the Castro. Avalos screened a short clip from the 1970 film "Catch-22," wherein a soldier's nudity is deemed to pale beside the horrors of war.
A federal judge will decide in January whether to halt the law's Feb. 1 implementation. It probably will be a tough fight for the plaintiffs: The U.S. Supreme Court has held that public nudity bans don't necessarily violate the constitutional right to free speech.
One of the plaintiffs, Gypsy Taub, 43, of Berkeley, stood naked and angry outside City Hall after the vote. "It's not a government, it's a whorehouse," she said. "Money is running the show."
Asked what moneyed interests might want to ban nudity, Taub said it's "a right-wing backlash against the liberties in San Francisco. ... They think we're going to get out of hand if we have freedom to express ourselves."
California state law makes public nudity a misdemeanor only when a person acts lewdly.
But some cities enact stricter ordinances. San Jose bans nudity in public places and even on private property open to public view, for anyone over age 10. In Oakland, it's illegal for anyone to appear in any public place "nude or in any indecent or lewd attire."
Berkeley criminalized public nudity in 1993, though the ordinance had to be tweaked in 1998 -- when a troupe of nude street-theater performers started turning up at protests and other outdoor events -- so officers could charge it as an infraction, like a traffic ticket, rather than as a misdemeanor.
Even so, Officer Jennifer Coats, a Berkeley Police spokeswoman, said her department has had only three arrests and two citations for public nudity since September 2010, all based on citizen complaints.
But some cities don't have stricter ordinances: Santa Cruz doesn't, as some might expect. Nor does one of the Bay Area's most staid suburbs: Danville. But as you also might expect, Danville City Attorney Rob Ewing said, it "hasn't been an issue here.''

"Call of Duty," "Halo" and "Doom" all owe a debt to "Wolfenstein 3D." The classic PC game essentially invented the first-person shooter. The frenetic pacing and quick-twitch gunplay all started with American spy B.J. Blazkowicz's escape from a Nazi prison.
Despite its place in history, the series has had an uneven legacy. The reboot and sequel to "Wolfenstein 3D" have varied in quality, with each follow-up falling short of the last.
The latest entry to the franchise reverses that trend.
"Wolfenstein: The New Order" flips Blazkowicz's story on its head by imagining an alternate timeline in which the Nazis win World War II. The protagonist and his allies fail to defeat Gen. Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse in 1946, and a last, desperate raid on his Nazi compound leaves Blazkowicz in a catatonic state. After 14 years, he snaps out of it and has to gather what remains of the resistance to defeat the Third Reich.
It's a smart concept that gives the developer, MachineGames, license to be more creative with the world -- there are giant mechanized dogs -- while still staying true to the game's roots. Shifting the project to the 1960s allows the team to add a fascinating mythology that squares with each of the 16 chapters. Each stage, from the London Fortress to the labor camps, feels steeped in this alternate history. It's a universe that's just as compelling as anything this side of "BioShock."
Coinciding with the narrative twist, the developer also freshened up the gameplay. MachineGames came up with an elegant solution to a first-person cover system. By holding a shoulder button, players can lean out in any direction while in cover and blast Nazis. It's a vital move in firefights in confined areas and adds some cat-and-mouse mind games. Along with that, Blazkowicz has the ability to both wield guns and cut open weak fencing to unlock new areas.
Surprisingly, there's a stealth element that's serviceable. It's nowhere as advanced as "Metal Gear Solid," but it offers a rewarding change of pace. Even if sneaking isn't your thing, "The New Order's" layered level design supports other ways to play. Buttressing all of this is a perk system that augments five playstyles, so that people who like to fight with guns ablazing can have as much success as those who sneak behind enemy lines.
The new "Wolfenstein" already is better than its predecessors, but what ultimately makes it stand out is the characters and story. Yes, there are a few silly errors and some overwrought melodrama, but "The New Order" has some honestly poignant moments. It brings together a disparate cast of characters and makes players care for them as they struggle together against the Third Reich. Those scenes are what separate the new "Wolfenstein" from just another shooter.

HOUSTON -- It's closing in on 48 hours before the trade deadline (1 p.m. PDT Thursday), and just where do the A's stand?
For one thing, they're in a position where they don't need to make a trade, although they continue to explore second base options. And while they don't need an outfielder long term, they could use one until they know that Craig Gentry (disabled list, broken right hand) and Coco Crisp (neck) are healthy.
With the July 4 trade for starters Jeff Samardzija (pitching Tuesday night in Houston) and Jason Hammel (pitching the series finale Wednesday), the A's addressed their most pressing need going forward. On the other hand, you can never have too much pitching, so there's that.
But the trade deadline is not to be trifled with, so let's have a look as A's possibilities:
The Indians' Asdrubal Cabrera (.249, 9 homers, 40 RBIs) has been strictly a shortstop since 2010, but he came up as a second baseman/shortstop and if the A's were convinced he could give them the defense they need, he could be a nice bit of 28-year-old adrenalin for the A's lineup.
Then there's Aaron Hill. The Diamondbacks' second baseman is, at 32, having the worst year of his career (.255, 8 homers, 49 RBIs), but it was just last year that he hit .291 and two years back he hit .302 with 26 homers, and a change of scene could do the right-handed hitter well. He's owed a lot of money -- $24 million over the next two seasons -- and the A's wouldn't take that on without getting a bucket of money back from Arizona.
Talk about adding Nick Franklin from the Mariners has happened, but it's tough seeing Franklin a fix for this year. He's never played a full season in the big leagues and has spent most of this year in the minors after the addition of Robinson Cano. His defense is unproven, but he's been a consistent .300 hitter the last two years at Triple-A Tacoma, even if he hit just .128 in 17 games for Seattle this year.
And the Marlins have contacted the A's about possibility of the left-handed Milone, currently pitching at Triple-A Sacramento, heading to Miami.
Sean McAdam of CSN-New England first reported the A's interest in Lester, although Oakland is far from being at the top of the heap. Toronto, St. Louis, Seattle, Baltimore and the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the A's join the Brewers and the Braves in being interested enough to see if there is room at the table.
The Red Sox are willing to move Lester, and Lester is willing to be moved, but any decision is likely to come down to the final hours leading up to the deadline. At a minimum, the A's would have to send Milone to the Red Sox, but it's not clear the A's have enough in the minor leagues system to complete a deal for the veteran, who would be just a two-month addition.
Lester isn't the only starter the A's have asked about. They tried to get David Price from the Rays a month ago, but they moved to Samardzija and Hammel when the Rays said they weren't ready to make a move. Since then, it seems that Price will stay put with the Rays playing better, but you never know.
The A's couldn't hold on to left-handed hitting center fielder Sam Fuld because there was no room on the roster after early April, but Fuld, now with the Twins, would seem to be just what the A's need — a defensive whiz with the ability to play off the bench. He's done a decent job (.272, 1 homer, 17 RBIs in 51 games) for Minnesota, but he's probably available.

The March on Washington and the "I Have a Dream" speech transformed the nation.
It was 50 years ago and Isaac Garrett remembers exactly where he was as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
"We all have a duty and responsibility to see that Dr. King's dream is fulfilled," he said.
Garrett is the president of the Martin Luther King Jr. committee in Santa Barbara.
Born and raised in Louisiana, he headed to California in hopes of leaving racism behind.
"I left the South and really thought I was going to get rid of that but then after I tried to begin a life here in Santa Barbara I found that it was here as well," he said.
In 1963, he remembers watching the speech with his wife at his home.
"It gave me great hope," said Garrett.
Now, 50 years later, he watches as people remember the struggle.
"It makes me feel good but I think it would make me feel better if they remembered that the following day, the following week, the following month, throughout the year," he said.
To keep the history alive, students at the UCSB are taught what segregation meant for the people dealing with it.
"We try to make the connections between what happened then in the 1900s and how it created a mindset," said Dr. Jeffrey Stewart.
Stewart is the department chair for the department of black studies. He said the nation has come a long way, but there is still work to do.
"Recently the Cheerios commercial. Essentially they showed a mixed race couple in a Cheerios commercial and the racist reaction was astounding," said Stewart. "So it shows you once again how racism diverts us from the real issues that confront us."
Both Stewart and Garret believe more education is needed to keep the country moving forward.

As I sit here reading shyster's farewell thread and fighting back the tears - Ol' Yeller is on, what can I say? - I'm reminded of something I meant to post last week.In TW, as I'm sure in every message board, people come and go all the time. Some people like to announce their retirement hours in advance, some people like to assure us that they're back after that frightening 4 day absence, and some just like to drop out of sight for months at a time.I'd like to dedicate this thread to everyone who likes to keep the online community abreast of their comings and goings. Mom ground you from the 'net for 2 weeks for spilling chocolate milkshakes on the keyboard? Drop a note. Just back from safari? Great. Been insulted once too often by p2c after defaming 'Shake It' and want to storm off in an indignant huff? Here's your podium!Now its up to you to judge when your absence merits reporting; personally, I plan to post 'I'm here' every time I log in to TW and 'See you later' every time I log out. But that's just good old unemployable drug dealer me. I didn't really lose youI just lost it for a whileYou know I am your daggerYou know I am your wound
Ok, I'm logging out now.Marquis is an unemployable, drug-dealing, bald tosser with no future, but much in his words ring true.
In reply to:I plan to post 'I'm here' every time I log in to TW and 'See you later' every time I log out.
I plan to post 'I'm here' every time I log in to TW and 'See you later' every time I log out.
So. They do that all the time on the General Hospital message board. Not that I've ever been there, but I've heard things.I might like you better if we slept together.
I like the idea of this thread. It is important to keep eachother informed. I will be leaving TW for a while. I have classes for most of the day and then I have to see a friend's play tonight. I probably won't be able to be back until tomorrow morning. If I am back early and am able to post tonight, I'll edit this message.Make a dream come true, give me money so that I can go see Daddy's concert.
I've just arrived at the office and should be checking in all day. So if there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact me.I will be leaving in 7 hours, and will not be checking in from home this evening. I try not to come here when I'm not being paid. The Gods forgot they made me...
Edited by Dan Dare on 11/18/03 10:53 AM (server time).
I woke up at eleven a.m. (the other side of insomnia), and here I am.It's taken about 15 minutes to see what there is to see here, so now I'm going to go to the gym. Knowing me, I'll probably check in briefly after I get back - just a five minute drop-in to see who loves me (PMs) and who hates me (search on p2c OR power2charm, all forums, last three days).Then I'll be off to a quiet park bench to continue my reading of "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow". That's right folks, I've joined Marquis in the ranks of the un-and-underemployed. (<--conflicted emotions about no longer having a job I hated)And the circus boss leans over, whispers into the little boy's ear, "Hey son, you want to try the big top?" ~ Springsteen
I just came back to the board today after taking a hiatus for a good few months. Will be lurking around from here on."Doing nothing gives me great pleasure. and believe me, i succeed wonderfully in it." - Morrissey
That is one damn magnificent avatar you've got there, creepgrrl. Oh...um...I think I might go away for a half an hour now. Don't worry! I'll be back!!Actually, I'm a lab mouse on stilts.
hi i'm here just for a quickie, i know some of you have wondered at my absence, but underemployment is sometimes worse than unemployment, and therefore i am now posting from the Sleepy Hollow library, forced to limit my time here to an hour, can't post after five or on sundays, because of course everyone knows that's a day of rest, and to punch the clock here at tw on a sunday would be somehow blasphemous. you can't see me cause I'm wearing black
Why, thank you. I'm rather fond of it myself."Doing nothing gives me great pleasure. and believe me, I succeed wonderfully in it." - Morrissey

|I climbed Humboldt to get a better view of the Crestone Traverse (not that the traverse route could actually be seen). Still, it gave me more confidence in making the traverse the next day. Humboldt was so nice, I was tempted to camp on top of it. Luckily I didn't, because the blue skies of the day gave way to a midnight thunder-boomer.

|Wanted to do Kit Carson but got waylaid by a leaky hydration bladder, started up at 5:35AM and reached an empty summit at 8:35. Pretty wet day all-and-all, but the weather held long enough, back to my truck at 10:38AM. My 30th 14'er on this fine wet morning. Sweet!!

|Fabulous Day on the East Ridge!
Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007
|It was cloudy and foggy the entire journey which made the ascent easier. Small clouds kept enveloping us as we traversed up the mountain which made the Humboldt drop off even more dramatic.
The East ridge was great, saw a lot of wildlife, but no other people until the summit...where we saw ~20 people and more on their way up.

Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is caused by an insult to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth.
Signs and symptoms appear during infancy or preschool years. In general, cerebral palsy causes impaired movement associated with exaggerated reflexes, floppiness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk, abnormal posture, involuntary movements, unsteadiness of walking, or some combination of these.
People with cerebral palsy may have difficulty with swallowing and commonly have eye muscle imbalance. People with cerebral palsy may have reduced range of motion at various joints of their bodies due to muscle stiffness.
The effect of cerebral palsy on functional abilities varies greatly. Some people are able to walk while others aren't able to walk. Some people show normal to near normal intellectual function, but others may have intellectual disabilities. Epilepsy, blindness or deafness also may be present.
People with cerebral palsy often have underlying developmental brain abnormalities.
Signs and symptoms can vary greatly. Movement and coordination problems associated with cerebral palsy may include:
The disability associated with cerebral palsy may be limited primarily to one limb or one side of the body, or it may affect the whole body. The brain disorder causing cerebral palsy doesn't change with time, so the symptoms usually don't worsen with age, although the shortening of muscles and muscle rigidity may worsen if not treated aggressively.
Brain abnormalities associated with cerebral palsy also may contribute to other neurological problems. People with cerebral palsy may also have:
It's important to get a prompt diagnosis for any movement disorder or possible delays in your child's development. See your child's doctor if you have any questions or concerns about muscle tone, muscle movement, coordination or other developmental issues.
Cerebral palsy is caused by an abnormality or disruption in brain development, usually before a child is born. In many cases, the exact trigger of this abnormality isn't known. Factors that may lead to problems with brain development include:
A number of factors are associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy.
Certain infections or health problems during pregnancy can significantly increase the risk of giving birth to a baby with cerebral palsy. Infections of particular concern include:
Illnesses in a newborn baby that can greatly increase the risk of cerebral palsy include:
Other factors of pregnancy or birth that are associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy include:
Muscle weakness, muscle spasticity and coordination problems can contribute to a number of complications either during childhood or later during adulthood, including:
If your child has cerebral palsy, how you learn about your child's condition may depend on the severity of the disabilities, when problems first appeared, and whether there were any risk factors during the pregnancy or delivery.
It's important to take your child to all regularly scheduled well-baby visits and annual appointments during childhood. These visits are an opportunity for your child's doctor to monitor your child's development in key areas, including:
Your doctor may ask you several questions during appointments, including:
If your family doctor or pediatrician believes that your child exhibits signs of cerebral palsy, you may want to discuss the following questions:
If your family doctor or pediatrician suspects that your child has cerebral palsy, he or she will evaluate your child's signs and symptoms, review your child's medical history, and conduct a physical evaluation. Your doctor may refer you to a doctor trained in treating children with brain and nervous system conditions (pediatric neurologist).
Your doctor will also order a series of tests to make a diagnosis and rule out other possible causes.
Brain-imaging technologies can reveal areas of damage or abnormal development in the brain. These tests may include the following:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses radio waves and a magnetic field to produce detailed 3-D or cross-sectional images of your child's brain. An MRI can often identify any lesions or abnormalities in your child's brain.
This test is painless, but it's noisy and can take up to an hour to complete. Your child will likely receive a mild sedative before the test. An MRI is usually the preferred imaging test.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses X-rays to obtain cross-sectional images of your child's brain. A CT scan may be used to identify abnormalities in your child's brain.
Scanning is painless and takes about 20 minutes. Because your child will need to be very still during the test, he or she will likely receive a mild sedative.
If your child has had seizures, your doctor may order an electroencephalogram (EEG) to determine if he or she has epilepsy, which often occurs in people with cerebral palsy. In an EEG test, a series of electrodes are affixed to your child's scalp.
The EEG records the electrical activity of your child's brain. If he or she has epilepsy, it's common for there to be changes in normal patterns of brain waves.
Your child's blood may need to be checked to rule out other conditions, such as blood-clotting disorders that can cause strokes, which may mimic cerebral palsy signs and symptoms. Laboratory tests may also screen for genetic or metabolic problems.
If your child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, you'll likely be referred to specialists for assessments of other conditions that are often associated with the disorder. These tests may identify:
Children and adults with cerebral palsy require long-term care with a medical care team. This team may include:
Medications that can lessen the tightness of muscles may be used to improve functional abilities, treat pain and manage complications related to spasticity or other cerebral palsy symptoms.
It's important to talk about the risk of drug treatments with your doctor and discuss whether medical treatment is appropriate for your child's needs. The selection of medications depends on whether the problem affects only certain muscles (isolated) or the whole body (generalized). Drug treatments may include the following:
Isolated spasticity. When spasticity is isolated to one muscle group, your doctor may recommend injections of onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) directly into the muscle, nerve or both. Botox injections may help to improve drooling. Your child will need injections about every three months.
Side effects may include pain, bruising or severe weakness. Other more-serious side effects include difficulty breathing and swallowing.
Generalized spasticity. If the whole body is affected, oral muscle relaxants may relax stiff, contracted muscles. These drugs include diazepam (Valium), dantrolene (Dantrium) and baclofen (Gablofen).
There is some risk of dependency with diazepam, so it's not recommended for long-term use. Its side effects include drowsiness, weakness and drooling.
Side effects of dantrolene include sleepiness, nausea and or diarrhea.
Side effects of baclofen include sleepiness, confusion and nausea. Baclofen may also be pumped directly into the spinal cord with a tube. The pump is surgically implanted under the skin of the abdomen.
Your child also may be prescribed medications to reduce drooling. Medications such as trihexyphenidyl, scopolamine (Scopace) or glycopyrrolate (Robinul, Robinul Forte) may be helpful.
A variety of nondrug therapies can help a person with cerebral palsy to enhance functional abilities. These include the following:
Physical therapy. Muscle training and exercises may help your child's strength, flexibility, balance, motor development and mobility. You will also learn how to safely care for your child's everyday needs at home, such as bathing and feeding your child.
Braces or splints may be recommended for your child. Some of these supports are used to help with function, such as improved walking. Others may stretch stiff muscles to help prevent rigid muscles (contractures).
Occupational therapy. Using alternative strategies and adaptive equipment, occupational therapists work to promote your child's independent participation in daily activities and routines in the home, the school and the community.
Adaptive equipment may include walkers, quadrupedal canes, seating systems or electric wheelchairs.
Speech and language therapy. Speech-language pathologists can help improve your child's ability to speak clearly or to communicate using sign language.
Speech-language pathologists can also teach your child to use communication devices, such as a computer and voice synthesizer, if communication is difficult.
Another communication device may be a board covered with pictures of items and activities your child may see in daily life. Sentences can be constructed by pointing to the pictures.
Speech therapists may also address difficulties with muscles used in eating and swallowing.
Surgery may be needed to lessen muscle tightness or correct bone abnormalities caused by spasticity. These treatments include:
Orthopedic surgery. Children with severe contractures or deformities may need surgery on bones or joints to place their arms, hips or legs in their correct positions.
Surgical procedures can also lengthen muscles and tendons that are proportionally too short because of severe contractures. These corrections can lessen pain and improve mobility. These procedures may also make it easier to use a walker, braces or crutches.
When a child is diagnosed with a disabling condition, the whole family faces new challenges. Here are a few tips for caring for your child and yourself:
Find support. A circle of support can make a big difference in helping you cope with cerebral palsy and its effects. As a parent, you may feel grief and guilt over your child's disability.
Your doctor can help you locate support groups, organizations and counseling services in your community. Your child may benefit from family support programs, school programs and counseling.
Most cases of cerebral palsy can't be prevented, but you can lessen risks. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you can take these steps to keep healthy and minimize pregnancy complications:

text: The VHS cover alone was enough to give me nightmares, but the movie was pretty darn creepy too. Casey (Nathan Forrest Winters), one of three brothers, has an intense fear of clowns. His older brother Geoffrey (Brian McHugh) mostly sympathizes with Casey's fears, even though he doesn't understand them. Oldest brother Randy (Sam Rockwell) however, constantly makes fun of Casey. After a night at the circus, where Casey runs away from three clowns that approach him, the boys return home to their empty house.

It's been a tough few month for the owners of the Frost Ridge Campground in Le Roy. Lawsuits, health problems and Saturday morning a large fire ripped through their home on North Road.
That fire started around 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning at North Road near Conlon Road. The Le Roy Fire Department was called to the scene after a passerby spotted flames coming from the residence.
When crews got to scene, they found flames coming from the home. Firefighters were sent into the house to try and save the front section, but had to evacuate the home after something exploded -- knocking down a firefighter. Crews say the firefighter remained at the scene and did not require medical attention.
The owners of the home, David and Greg Luetticke-Archbell, were not present at the time of the fire, but arrived later to find their home in flames. Greg was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital after becoming distressed at the scene.
Firefighters say the home was destroyed as a result of the blaze. More than twenty fire companies from Livingston, Monroe and Genesee counties responded -- mostly for tankers, as there was no water source on the road.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
David and Greg Luetticke-Archbell also own the Frost Ridge Campgrounds in Le Roy, which is currently the subject of two lawsuits related to live music at the campgrounds.

FARMINGTON — A Rochester man charged with subsequent driving while intoxicated and many other offenses allegedly gave Farmington police a false identity at first in hopes of hiding his three bench warrants.
Derek D. Ford, 36, of Church Street, Gonic, was arrested on Friday, Jan. 4, and charged with DWI, receiving stolen property, resisting arrest, disobeying an officer, driving after revocation or suspension and transporting alcoholic beverages in addition to his three bench warrants.
Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey said police were officially called to the area of Poor Farm Road around 6:30 p.m. when a passerby reported a vehicle had gone off the road. The responding officer determined based on Ford's interactions that he was impaired and attempting to provide a false identity.
"The driver didn't have any I.D. on him and gave us a false name and continued to give us a false name throughout the time we had contact with him," Willey said, "even when he was taken into custody. At a later time, we learned his true identity including that he was wanted on a number of bench warrants."
The resisting arrest and disobeying an officer charge stem from Ford allegedly providing a false name. Willey said there was also an open container of alcohol in Ford's car.

MIAMI, FLORIDA -- 03/24/2016. I deposited my paycheck as usually. ATM recognized 950.00, but my check was 1950.00. Two days after I Call the customer services. After 25 minutes in hold they transfer to claims department. They promised solution in 12 hours. March 29 I went to the bank on Doral. The lady said my solution is bring the screenshot from my job, my job said is restricted information. I went back to the bank, the same lady said me I has to wait April 5 to get my money.
I asked for the manager, answer was she left early. Tuesday 2 pm and supervisor promised put the note in the system. My big question. WHO WILL PAY ALL THE FEES I WILL RECEIVE FOR NONPAYMENT IN TIME
Chase Bank ATM Chase or help you customer services?
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- My name changed 3 years ago. I sent the legal documentation to Chase and they promptly changed my name on my credit card as well as my mortgage. The problem is that they are refusing to change my name on my online profile. They insist that I need to go to the nearest branch which is hours away. It's ridiculous. Now they are refusing to delete my online profile. I want out of Chase!!!
LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA -- Wire Fraud: Someone did two wires out of our account. We did what Chase asked for, signed affidavits, closed account in September 5, 2015. Said it would be 10 days we would get our money back. On 9-15-15 I called about the money. "Oh it will be tomorrow." On 9-19-15 I called again. "Oh nooo, it's 10 days from 9-15." I said "No, it's 10 days from 9-5." Please so not believe Chase Bank - they lied to me.
HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA -- On Saturday March 1 of 2014 I went to my Chase local branch to open an account jointed with my mom in which I have power of attorney for. After speaking with **, the banker that took care of me, he told me he had to fax the power of attorney to their legal department. After he did, he was told that it needed further review and it will be done within 24 to 48 hours.
On Tuesday March 11, I went back to the bank to find out if it was reviewed. When ** called the legal department he was informed that it wasn't done yet. When I asked to speak with the branch manager I was told that he wasn't in so I asked to speak with the assistant manager. She told me that it can usually take up to 72 hours. Today Thursday March 6, being that it was past the 72 hours, I went by the branch to see if it was done and after speaking with the branch manager and he inquiring with the legal department, he told me that it has not been reviewed yet. I also speak with the district manager regarding this on a phone conference call at his office.
While I was waiting at the branch to speak with the branch manager, I received a phone call from the district manager which was the result of an e-mail I have sent earlier today to customer service via my account's secure messaging on their web site inquiring about this. In conclusion, I was told by the bank & district manager that until their legal department approves it, there is nothing they could do.
I told them that this was ridiculous since I have used this power of attorney for my mom to deal with everything for her. From buying a car, managing her phone, TV, electricity billing accounts to other things and never had this much of a problem. I told both the branch and district manager that I will be filing a complaint with several sources regarding this. I am currently a customer of their bank and have a checking and savings account with them.
I currently have an account joint with my mom at another bank, Ocean Bank; which I opened using the power of attorney on the same day, but wanted to close that account and open it with Chase because Ocean Bank only has a few local branches and not as many branches everywhere and they are not as good as a bank as Chase is.
I applied for a Chase Auto Loan with a credit score of 760. I was approved at a very aggressive rate (3.93%), and I called Chase to give them the vehicle information before I went and purchased it - VIN number, mileage, the whole nine yards. I purchased the vehicle and was elated. Dream car, great loan rate, low monthly payments. I faxed my purchase order to Chase the following day and was DECLINED.
I inquired how I could be declined when I was already approved, and got a bogus answer about their perceived value of the vehicle being different from the price they already approved and their hands were tied. Now I have to go back to the dealer and accept a rate twice what Chase offered. Chase - do not GUARANTEE to lend if you are not going to lend. Everyone, be careful about their conditional approvals, they are liars.
ILLINOIS -- So yesterday morning, I woke up to find an email from Chase alerting me to a possible fraudulent transaction on my credit card account that was made the night before. The email asked me to answer yes or know if I had made the alleged transaction and if I had any questions to call the customer service number listed. But it was different from the customer service number listed on my credit card and if 6 years on M3C has taught me anything, you don't respond to an email you deem suspect, and you don't call any phone numbers listed if you have an alternative number from a more reliable source.
So I went downstairs, credit card in hand to review my account online. Sure enough, the transaction was there so I called Chase at the number printed on the back of my card. Sure enough, Chase had sent me the email and because I said that the purchase was not made by myself or my husband (I checked with him), they closed out my account and have had new cards sent to my house.
The strange thing is that the transaction was from a legitimate website and was for a very tiny amount, I'm inclined to believe that someone innocently typed in the wrong credit card number which just happened to match mine. But, better safe than sorry and it's just as well since our cards are due to expire in May, so we just bumped up the timeline for getting our new card. Glad to see that Chase was on the ball here.
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- Chase Bank, closed my business accounts. Please do not open a business checking account with Chase. If your company deposit third party checks, deposit check drafts or depend on ACH transactions please choose another bank. Chase will close your account with no warning. We make large deposits every day and was surprise that Chase closed our account. Chase is only interested in investment accounts and mortgages, these accounts are easy for Chase to rip their customers off. We also recommend that you do not open a merchant account with this bank. Their merchant arm is called Chase-Paymentech. Please take warning.
This bank have left thousands of merchant very unhappy by closing their accounts. They will close your account on the day of payroll with no warning. The bank is no longer a good bank for businesses. Please, please do not make the mistake in believing this bank cares about you or your business. If you have an account with them close it or you will be very surprise. Most of the time if you have any money left in the account Chase takes about 30 days before you receive a check.
They sent me a closing check and had a stop payment placed on it. I had to wait an additional three days to get an overnight check from them. Chase has countless fraud charges pending against the bank various entities filed by the US attorneys in all districts. Do not invest in a doomed bank. Opening an account with them is a short-term bailout. Don't do it.
NEW YORK, TEXAS -- I logged into my online Chase account one day to see that Chase has closed all of my credit card accounts with no prior warning or prior issues. I had built up sizable amounts of reward points in my accounts that Chase has since taken away. I have been a loyal Chase customer for my entire adult life and have always paid off my credit card bills on time.
I contacted Chase and provided bank statements showing I have enough assets to support my outstanding credit lines. However, I am disappointed that Chase never even responded to my letter showing evidence that I am not a credit risk and the actions I have taken to address their credit concerns. This just shows Chase doesn't care about its customers and just wants to take their customers rewards points so that they can increase their profits.
They are just targeting people with a lot of points so they can get the liability off their books for having to pay out their rewards. That big fat litigation reserve of billions that Mr. ** has set aside looks very very juicy for a class action. I am a lawyer and may just go ahead and start putting together the paperwork.
421 N DOUTY HANFORD, CALIFORNIA -- I have been battling identity theft more less since before July 2011. I told Chase Bank about it and said I would give them a folder with all information in it so that they be aware of my circumstances. They said OK. Then they said if I opened a new account with them and get new bank numbers, that would benefit me for less problems with past disputes I have been battling since 2006!
After I opened with new numbers on my account, I was also instructed to always report any disputes I may still be having and to always order a new Visa debit card with fresh number every time I may still be having the problems in my account. After having this newest account for only two to three months, I had in the last month or October 2011 only three disputes documented on my account and it totaled to an amount of seven dollars only. I also received conformation number on the disputes that everything had been straightened out in my account with Chase confirming this.
Then a couple of days after they cleared up these unauthorized debits, they told me their Chase Bank took an unanimous vote among the Chase representatives and they decided to kick me out of their bank in regards to three disputes that totaled up to seven dollars only and were proven to be unauthorized, and I have a statement letter saying that too.
I received this letter on October 26, 2011(?). I was told over the telephone by Claims department on October 24, 2011 that my account had been blocked because it is being closed. I asked why, they said it will tell you in a letter you will be receiving and they wouldn't tell me anything at all. Two days later I received that letter, I have called five times asking what happened because this letter does not tell me what happened exactly. Then when I call Social Security Death Benefits Department to tell them to mail the Benefits Check to my residence Social Security Administration, said I was too late in the month to be making any mailing changes because there's a deadline date then no changes can be made.
So needless to say, the Benefits were electronically deposited one minute after midnight on November 09, 2011. So I called Chase Bank again to let them know and they said they have received nothing. I happen to know that when Chase Bank receives any electronic deposits of any kind, that it is immediately documented on their system, and it isn't a debit withdrawal so it doesn't need to be held for two business days before posting to an account.
So tell me where is the Social Security Administration Treasury funds that Chase Bank received on November 09, 2011??? I then had the Social Security Treasury call the Chase bank confirming that the Benefits had been electronically transferred from the Social Security Treasury Department and had been received by JP Morgan
Chase Bank, NA, FDIC Establishment Bank location received in located at: Chase Bank - 421 N Douty, Hanford, CA 93239.
I drove to the Chase Bank to pick up the Benefits and Chase Bank would not give to me. I said, "Then give me my twelve dollars, you blocked in my account sixteen days ago. Your letter stated you were going to mail me the rest of my account funds in five business days. After the closing of my account, you kicked me out of without a reason. And I also want my monthly Benefits you received. I have bills due today that you are keeping from paying due to your circumstances of as why you closed my account. And now that its been closed for sixteen days already and you are still messing with my and now holding my monthly Benefits. I do not owe you any money and you also haven't given me my funds that were left in the account."
So they gave me my twelve dollars so I could have enough gas to get home on and said at 10 A.M. November 10, 2011 they would call me and tell me if I could pick up my Benefits funds or not yet. OK first - Chase Bank closed my account without telling why. Second - Chase Bank said they would refund my fund that were left in the account in five days. They did not.
Third - Chase bank accepted the electronic deposit that was sent from the Treasury Office of Social Security Benefits. Why did they except that Benefits Check sent to me at their bank when it was block for everything else? Fourth - do you think Chase bank is going to release my account funds that I asked for while I was at their Bank on November 09, 2011 if I had any pending balances? No I don't think so!
At least that is what they said in the closing letter and it's been sixteen days and they said in the letter ten business days, everything would be completed and released of the closure of my account they voted to close without telling me why or what the reason being in detail. Also I need that reason so that I may file a report on it with the rest of information I have put together for my police report on the identity theft that has been exposed on my behalf!!
This was instructed by the Federal Trade Commission on the list of instructions they gave me to go by to complete my Identity Theft Reporting it to the police to file. And then I receive a Case number to provide everybody, including Chase bank that I had told I was going to provide for them on my account problems. Look what they finished me with not only closing my account that I need, but by turning me into ChexSystem and maybe the Credit Bureau too. I didn't need that, I was barely trying to establish some good credit for once and now I won't be able to ever have a checking account again thanks to Chase Bank.
And I'm also one of the victims that Chase bank borrowed 200.00 from last year and I kept calling Chase Bank asking them why are you not finding the 200.00 that disappeared out of my account for three to four days. Then after that it reappeared, I asked Chase Bank where did you find it? They said 'we didn't, we don't know what happened'.
Now I'm going to sue Chase bank. I feel like I'm too stressed out and my blood pressure feels high and I also can't pay bills now. And they have been jacked us in dollars so I owe more and now I don't have enough money to ever catch up on being behind on my bills. And I sinking fast; and my name is on the blacklist of ever having another account of any kind or credit.
I, like many others, have been going back and forth with this bank. I started this whole process in Nov. '09. Not as long as some, but same story. I initially received one letter saying I did not send them something (which I did), so I went ahead and sent it again, called back, they said they received it. I waited a few weeks, called again (Dec. 28th), was told my case was closed that very day! They said I was missing paperwork (again) - she said if I faxed it, they could re-open my case, so I did. Called back again in 48 hours to make sure they received it, yes they received it, it's "complete" and in underwriting.
Every time I call, they say call back in a few weeks to check the status, so I called again, was told it was closed on Dec. 28th. I said yes it was and was also re-opened that same day and was supposed to be in underwriting. She couldn't see that so I asked for someone else. This lady told me she didn't know why she told me that. Yes it's open and being reviewed, she'll contact the gentleman who is handling it, make sure everything is in order and call me back - never got a call. I call several more times - everything seems OK - "under review". I think OK, we're getting somewhere now!
Nope - I call again, DENIED (Mar. 8). No phone calls, no letters - just read an article (**) where Chase said they have increased attempts to contact customers to complete paperwork. Call 36 times, reach out by mail 15 times and make at least 2 home visits! I received one letter the whole time after my initial application, and I've been closed and denied and told over and over I am missing paperwork! NO CONTACT! So again I re-sent things and was told to call back to make sure they received it.
Of course this time I had to re-send current bank statements, pay stubs and everything else...I did this, called, was told, yes, but why am I not showing rental income? Ummm, because I don't own a rental! I have given them several documents which I explained to them what they mean - I haven't owned that home in years and they have all the proof in front of them! I was then told OK, it's "complete" & under review AGAIN. I stewed for a few days and thought, 'this is a government program, there has to be somewhere to complain or get help'.
So I hit the net and found the MHA Help line 888-995-HOPE. A gentleman actually 3-wayed a call to Chase and they were a little more helpful and straightforward...said it's taking 4-9 months and sometimes 12 to get an answer after I've been told constantly 60 days. I said OK, except I've been closed and denied in a lot less than that a few times for "missing paperwork" and never received anything telling me that. She said well we TRY to send everyone a letter. No way! If I wasn't constantly calling these people and being proactive, I'd have no clue.
Peoplekeep calling!!! Who knows what will happen now? The MHA Help guy said to call them if I start getting the runaround again, which I will I'm sure. The more I read on the net, the more I believe Chase doesn't want to help people. I've even heard from people at work where the same thing with the paperwork is happening to them and then they get denied, etc. It's a mighty big coincidence!!!

Evans Towne Center Park has the Lady Antebellum Pavilion, which is scheduled to host many events in the coming months. (WRDW-TV / March 21, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, March 21, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- You've heard it before: Someone complaining there's nothing to do around town -- but that's about to change in Columbia County.
The Evans Towne Center Park has a lot of events scheduled throughout the spring and summer. From country and rock music to symphony and blue grass, there really is something for everyone.
Holly Hall and her son, Liam, love the new park.
"There's been no other place like this in our area so I'm very excited about it," Hall said.
And they love that the calendar is filling up with concerts and events. Commissioners just approved the money to help front the cost of getting some big names here.
Lady Antebellum dedicated the park last October, and now the acts are pouring in after them.
"The park is catching on; it's the focal point of Columbia County and we've got quite a lineup of concerts from now all the way through November," said Barry Smith, director of Community and Leisure Services.
April is country month. Masters week will be ParTee at the Park on April 5, featuring Little Big Town and Josh Kelley, who's performing for the first time on the stage that bears his name.
Then, there's Kicks 99's "Hooked on Country" with Craig Morgan on April 27.
"Any big-name country people -- we would jump at the chance to come up here and see that concert," Hall said.
May has a mix with rock bands Seether and Chevelle coming on May 3, POPS Under the Stars with the Symphony Orchestra Augusta on May 12 and the third annual Banjo-B-Que on March 25 and 26.
"This year we're going to have 65 teams and they'll be the top teams in the nation," explained Christy Beckham, marketing manager for hosts A.B. Beverage Company.
It's the first year the barbecue and bluegrass festival will be in Evans, making the move from North Augusta.
"We're thinking if we move over here we'll have more community involvement, a lot more families. If anything, it's going to make it prettier ... because the whole park is beautiful," Beckham said.
Banjo-B-Que is a tribute event to the company's late owner, who died of cancer. It draws crowds from all over the country and is a Kansas City Barbeque Society event.
June and July are filling up fast, too, with performances by Rick Springfield on June 8 and Beach Music featuring the Tams, Swinging Medalions and the Drifters on July 13.
"We're having a lot of varied events here for all tastes and all ages," Smith said.
This really is only the beginning; another seven or eight acts are in negotiations, including a season-ending concert in October, they promise will be big.
And it's not just live music. There's a boat and RV show there this weekend, dog events and a giant Easter egg hunt coming up, too.

Incremental Innovation in the Development of Biopharmaceuticals Part 2
Incremental Innovation in the Development of Biopharmaceuticals Part 2
04.04.13 | By
Eric A. Utt, Ph.D., Director, Worldwide Policy for Pfizer, wraps up the second of a two-part series on incremental innovation. During the 1940s and 1950s, tuberculosis patients were housed in sanitariums, frequently alongside patients who had been institutionalized with various mental illnesses. At this time, mental disorders such as schizophrenia and depression were not accessible to effective drug treatments. In an attempt to improve the anti-tuberculosis effects of isoniazid, Roche scientists synthesized a related compound, iproniazid. Clinicians treating tuberculosis patients in sanitariums reported unexpected side effects. In tuberculosis patients treated with iproniazid, the drug not only showed anti-tuberculosis activity, but also caused euphoria and psycho stimulation. In fact, the drug was intentionally used off label to improve the depressed mood of chronically ill patients with tuberculosis. Researchers at Northwestern University followed up on this observation, demonstrating that iproniazid is a potent inhibitor of a class of enzymes in the body called monoamine oxidases. In addition, N. S. Kline, J. C. Saunders, and M. Loomer were interested in the biochemical and pharmacological actions of iproniazid in animals and its clinical side effects in tuberculosis patients. They designed an open clinical trial with iproniazid. In the study, patients who had been institutionalized for an average of 20 years with stable depression were chosen at random, without regard for the particular underlying diagnoses. After several weeks of treatment with iproniazid, roughly 70% of the patients were reported to show significant improvement in their depression symptoms. Numerous follow up studies confirmed those findings. That is the how and the why behind iproniazid (trade name Marsilid) becoming the world's first modern antidepressant. With the discovery of monoamine oxidases (MOAs) and their inhibitors (MOAIs) altered the theory of depression as a mental illness. MOAs were shown to be involved in the metabolism of several neurotransmitters, including serotonin. That discovery gave way to the biochemical basis for depression upon which the development of modern selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, is based. While important for the many reasons cited above, MOAIs like Marsilid were associated with severe, often intolerable side effects. This resulted in the search for new compounds that were similarly efficacious, but had a better side effect profile. Today, we have a whole host of related medicines that perform outstandingly against depression with reduced side effects. This important development began with the discovery of antibiotic activity in a previously unexamined chemical compound, isoniazid, back in 1912. This is the way of science, and of scientists. One simply does not "order up" a new medicine. We build upon seemingly minor discoveries and observations until they converge to lead up to new approaches and new conclusions about disease biology and its treatment. This is why it is so vital that society supports science, including educating the next generation of scientists, funding academic research and teaching institutions, encouraging biotechnology pioneers, and developing a robust commercial enterprise to translate scientific discoveries into useful products. We don't know where the next new medicine will come from, but we do know that without the process of incremental innovation, there will be no new discoveries that lead to the next wave of life-saving and life-changing medicines.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- One person was killed Saturday afternoon in a multicar accident at an Interstate 280 onramp.
The southbound Westborough onramp was closed for two hours because of the fatal accident and a second accident, a hit-and-run.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating both accidents, which occurred at 12:20 p.m., said Officer James Evans.
Officers initially thought one accident had occurred but later found that there were two, he said. The fatality was the result of the multivehicle accident, he added.
The San Mateo County coroner's office had not yet released the name of the victim, pending notification of the family. Evans said he did not know if the victim was a man, woman or child or whether the person was driving one of the vehicles involved in the crash.
"We don't have any reports of any other injuries at this time," he said. "And we don't have the exact number of vehicles involved."

Bialoglowy, Holy Cross cruise past Kennedy
WATERBURY — Holy Cross made quick of Kennedy on Friday at Municipal Stadium, coming away with a 43-6 victory to improve to 3-2 on the season.
Halfback Andrew Bialoglowy led the way for the Crusaders, running for 211 yards and three touchdowns.
"The holes were open," Bialoglowy said. "On most of my runs I wasn't even touched the hole was so big. I just read where to go on the play, then once I got past the secondary, I beat them on my own. But it was all thanks to the line.
He got things going early for the Crusaders as he ran five times on Holy Cross' first drive for 46 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run. After the defense forced a three-and-out, Trai Weaver took the ensuing punt 55 yards to the house to put Cross up 13-0.
"When you get a special teams touchdown, or a great return that's going to put you in a position to score, it's going to lift a team," Holy Cross head coach Mike Giampetruzzi said. "That's what it did. It kept our offense off the field, we were able to get another score and it was a good thing for us."
The return took the life out of Kennedy early, allowing for Holy Cross to put points on the board quickly and put the Eagles away early.
Cross forced Kennedy to punt on their next possession, then marched 75 yards down the field on 11 plays to score again. Juwan Hall got the goal-line carry for the Crusaders to extend the lead, 21-0.
Holy Cross was able to score twice more before the first half was done, and were up 36-0 at the break. Bialoglowy scored on seperate runs of 47 and 39 yards at the midway and end of the half.
The Crusaders were effective on the defensive end of the ball forcing Kennedy to go three-and-out on six of their seven possessions, holding them to 27 total yards in the half.
"We talked about it all week," Giampetruzzi said. "When we're on defense, we want to get a three-and-out, and tonight we did that. We had a couple of kids come back from injury, and they were really focused this week as we had a great week of praice.
Cross slowed the tempo in the second half as they coasted to victory. No team scored in the third quarter, but the Crusaders' Mike DeMaria punched home a 2-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter to push the lead, 43-0.
Kennedy made their final drive of the game count, as they moved 80 yards down the field to score their lone touchdown of the contest.
Running back Bryan Garcia-Medina led the way on the drive, running six times for 62 yards and converting a fourth down attempt to put the Eagles in the red zone.
Quarterback Larry Lock scored the touchdown for Kennedy, converting on a fourth-and-goal carry from the 1-yard line.

More and more South Carolina women are getting pregnant unintentionally.
However, South Carolina ranks number three nationally in creativity and commitment in addressing the issue.
News 12's Meredith Taylor is on your side with what a local pregnancy center is doing.
Since 1987, hundreds of people have visited the Aiken Pregnancy Care Center and needed help.
"Some of those referrals from previous clients, sometimes health department refers to get slip to apply for Medicaid processing," says client services manager Kelli Riley.
Riley says 200 to 250 women come for free pregnancy tests each year.
"Last year, we saw 106 positive tests, about the same number coming through, but a few more are testing positive than negative," says Riley.
According to research from the Guttmacher Institute, a privately funded research group that focuses on sexual health and family issues, some blame the increase on state budget cuts in family planning programs.
Riley says it's something else.
"Just more promiscuity among young teens today," she says. "Just more accepted to be sexually active.
The majority of clients here are between 18 and 24 years old.
The Palmetto State has the 17th highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation.
While the pregnancy center here in Aiken sees less people than the centers in the Augusta area, the slight increase in unintended pregnancies has volunteers pushing for education.
"Well we talk to the girls when they come in, especially if they test negative at that time, talk about abstinence until marriage," says Riley. "Then, we go out to speak to different groups, we speak to church youth groups."
Work that volunteers of this non-profit organization hope will put an end to an upward trend.
The pregnancy center also offers parenting classes and takes in donations. Nationally, half of all pregnancies are unintended.
