PERFORATION of the gallbladder is a rare complication of gallbladder disease. In 1943 Cowley and Harkins1 collected 12,915 operations on the gallbladder reported in the literature and found that perforation had occurred in 433, an incidence of perforation of 2.8%. The experience at this clinic, recently reported by Fletcher and Ravdin,2 is similar, with 44 instances of perforation in 2,807 gallbladder operations, an incidence of 1.6%.
Niemeier3 has classified gallbladder perforations into the following three groups: Group I, chronic perforations with a fistulous communication between the gallbladder and some other viscus; Group II, subacute perforations with the formation of a pericholecystic abscess, walled off by adhesions from the general peritoneal cavity, and Group III, acute perforations into the free peritoneal cavity. Fletcher and Ravdin2 applying this classification to several reported series of perforations, found the average incidence of the three groups to be as follows: Group

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
WEDNESDAY, April 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Implementation of health care reform in Massachusetts was associated with an increase in emergency department use, according to a study published online March 24 in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.
Peter B. Smulowitz, M.D., M.P.H., from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues examined the extent to which Massachusetts health care reform (implementation started in 2006) correlated with changes in emergency department utilization. Emergency department utilization changes were compared for individuals from areas of the state that were minimally affected by health care reform versus those from areas that were most affected. In addition, changes in emergency department utilization were compared for those younger than 65 years and for those aged 65 years or older. Analyses included 13.3 million emergency department visits during 2004 to 2009.
The researchers found that emergency department use increased with increasing insurance coverage in Massachusetts. This association was consistent across all specifications and in both age groups. Compared with the pre-reform period, the implementation of health care reform correlated with a 0.2 to 1.2 percent increase in emergency department visits per year within-reform and a 0.2 to 2.2 percent increase post-reform.
"The implementation of health care reform in Massachusetts was associated with a small but consistent increase in the use of the emergency department across the state," the authors write.

Juan Manuel Marquez Wants The Promotional Cold War To End So We Can See The Best Fights In 2014
Juan Manuel Marquez has had a terrific career in boxing. He has had ups and downs in his career due to politics and knows how those politics play a part in fights being made. Marquez had to separate himself from Golden Boy Promotions in order to get his third and fourth fight with Manny Pacquiao.
For 2014 Marquez would like to see an end of the cold war between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank so that the best fights possible could be made including Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao.
"I'd like to see the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to erase all doubts," said Marquez. "I think it will be a great fight that would make people happy and not leave them in suspense of wondering what if these two fighters faced off. Secondly, I do not want the war between the promoters to continue so that Top Rank and Golden Boy so that they can make the best fights."

This man became a 1 punch KO artist overnight. He is a gay warrior like floyd.
Glen December 26, 05:05
Marquez is scared to fight Manny again for the reason that Pacquiao would require a VADA drug test. Marquez was in PED when knocked out Pacquiao.
mario cruz December 26, 08:05
Whoa! look who's talking. If Marquez really wants the best fights, why don't he give Manny Pacquiao a fifth fight. Anyways, the Pacman has given him all the chance, four chances to be exact, so he should reciprocate and have a fifth fight between the two of them. That is, if he is not afraid!

COLUMBIANA, Alabama -- High school senior Kansas Kirk, still wearing the same clothes from the previous day, was ready to head home today after sleeping overnight at the Shelby County College and Career Center.
"We slept well considering, but I'm really glad we're going home now," Kirk, an 18-year-old who attends Shelby County High School in Columbiana, said today.
Kirk was one of about 20 students who spent the night at the College and Career Center after Tuesday's snowstorm resulted in icy roads throughout Shelby County and central Alabama, making travel next to impossible for thousands.
Thanks to the efforts of the Shelby County Board of Education's transportation department, as well as Shelby County's highway division providing an escort, three buses opened their doors at about 12:15 p.m. to take the students from the Columbiana school to their homes in the Montevallo, Pelham and Oak Mountain areas and beyond.
"We're hoping in an hour or hour and a half, we're going to lower the flag and this will be a deserted area," College and Career Center Principal Tim Elliff said.
Elsewhere in Shelby County, schools were trying to make arrangements for transportation or waiting for roads to clear and parents to get their children.
"We've been able to evacuate the School of Technology," known as the College and Career Center, said Kevin Snowden, transportation director for the Shelby County School District. "We are in the process of evacuating Linda Nolen Learning Center" in Pelham and the Alternative School in Alabaster.
School district spokeswoman Cindy Warner said the Pelham school that provides education to special-needs students has received needed resources. "The principal is reporting now that they have plenty of food. We are also working on a plan with our transportation department and local police to get those kids home if possible," Warner said.
At other schools in the district, parents are trying to get their children, Snowden said. "Parents and local law enforcement are coordinating those efforts to get kids home, whatever is available as far as local resources," he said. "Helena has been incredible getting kids home."
Concerning whether all students in the district would be able to get home today, "that's going to be debatable because it depends on parental access," Snowden said. "Our goal is to have everybody home tonight, but we can't guarantee that."
Snowden pointed to a group of five students and eight adults at the Lakeshore Foundation in the Birmingham area, "and they can't get over the mountain."
"There's plenty of faculty with them. They have a safe place to stay, anything they need as far as food, medicine, help, adult supervision. They're just in a place where we can't get them out right now," he said. "We are going to reach out to the National Guard and see if they can help out in that situation."
At the College and Career Center, roughly 20 students slept at the school along with about 16 faculty members. The adults were planning to either ride in the buses or follow along in their own vehicles as part of the caravan this afternoon.
Shelby County High School in Columbiana provided some food to the stranded group, which also enjoyed a breakfast of eggs and cheese toast from culinary class supplies.
"We had cots or mats for everyone to sleep on," Elliff said about the bedding provided by Shelby County government.
Students this morning said they were ready to leave their school. "Real happy," senior Retro Ledlow, 18, of Pelham said about learning the buses were coming to get them. He recalled thinking, "Thank God. I'm ready to go. Where the buses at?"
Ledlow slept on one of the three couches in the school. "It was good, it was a good night," he said.
Natalie Burton, 16, who lives in the Inverness area off Highway 280, was worried about how she would get home if her route was closed. "They're going to get me as close to my apartment complex as possible, then I'm going to have to walk the rest of the way," she said.
She slept on a beanbag chair, which wasn't the most comfortable, she said. "It was not very good. I'm ready to go home," she said.
Students at the Columbiana school talked about watching movies, using their smartphones and playing video games to pass the time Tuesday night. "It's been an adventure, but I'm glad to be going home," Kansas Kirk said.

on February 22, 2013 - 12:20 AM
TORONTO – A center on the third line, a central figure on the game's controversial play, Kevin Porter had an interesting night in his debut with the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night in Air Canada Centre.
Officially promoted earlier in the day, the Rochester Amerks captain drew a controversial goaltender interference penalty in the second period that wiped out a go-ahead tally by Steve Ott in the Sabres' 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Leafs goalie Ben Scrivens slid to his right beyond the crease and was bumped by Porter, who was being pushed by defenseman Mark Fraser. The puck ricocheted into the right circle, where Ott swatted it out of the air to seemingly put the Sabres in front, 2-1, with 12:52 left in the period.
But referee Dave Jackson quickly wiped out the goal, bringing howls of protest from the Sabres bench and an outstretched-arms gesture from interim coach Ron Rolston. The protest grew when Porter was penalized.
"I'm going hard to the net and trying to avoid him but you get pushed in and get a little piece of him," Porter said. "I guess I have to stay away from him a little bit more. I was surprised. I was pretty excited by the goal and then to have it taken back, I was a little bit surprised.
"That would have been a big goal. It wasn't a great penalty. But I'm going to keep going to the net and going hard to the net."
Rolston said he had not reviewed the play but was disappointed in the "double whammy" of the goal not counting and the penalty being drawn.
Sabres goalie Ryan Miller agreed with the notion Scrivens slid into the play.
"I don't know too many guys that get that call right now," Miller said. "I wouldn't even hope for that call. If I'm that far out and I'm leaning into a play, I expect to have to recover. We didn't get that benefit."
Porter played 14 minutes, 34 seconds in the game, taking over third-line duties from Jochen Hecht between Ott and Nathan Gerbe. The 26-year-old had played 165 NHL games with Phoenix and Colorado and led the Amerks this year with 44 points in 48 games.
Oddly enough, his last NHL game was on March 14, 2012 for Colorado in a 5-4 shootout win over the Sabres in First Niagara Center.
"The first shift tonight I was a little bit nervous but playing with those guys made it easier," Porter said. "They talk and help me out so it was a pretty easy transition."
Leafs forward and former Sabre Clarke MacArthur on the firing of Lindy Ruff: "It took me by surprise. I thought for sure they would work through it. ... They've always done that in the past where they've gotten through it and things have worked out there where they've gotten to the playoffs or they haven't. It was obviously shocking for a lot of people."
Leafs coach Randy Carlyle on Ruff: "I'm sure he's wondering what he's going to do today. Because yesterday he was working and running a hockey club. He's probably driving around today and wondering."
• The Sabres made room for Porter by putting Cody McCormick on waivers and he cleared Thursday, so he was loaned to Rochester. Oddly enough, his first game for the Amerks will be tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal against the Hamilton Bulldogs.
• The Sabres again scratched rookie Mikhail Grigorenko, with Rolston saying he did not yet know much about the team's No. 1 draft pick. When the Sabres were in training camp last month, remember, Rolston was in the middle of the season in Rochester.
• Andrej Sekera (charley horse) and Jordan Leopold were also scratched, with Leopold sitting out the morning skate because of what Rolston called an upper-body injury. Leopold, a healthy scratch Tuesday against Winnipeg, took a puck in the hand late in practice Wednesday but is also the subject of trade rumors.

William Shakespeare's classic tragedy "Macbeth" incorporates witches and ghosts, and the plot explores murder and other dark deeds committed to obtain power. Heidelberg University alumnus Ray Ouellette has written a dark comedy, "The M Word," which concerns a band of summerstock actors trying to produce a seemingly doomed production of "Macbeth."
The show is to have its premiere this weekend in Gundlach Theatre at Heidelberg. Performances are at 8 p.m. today through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to the sinister action in the script, the play is affected by drama behind the scenes. A frazzled director, played by Adam Oulton, is trying to navigate the egos and rivalries among the actors. Mac Wallace portrays the pompous Matthew, who has been cast as Macbeth. Whenever the other actors are not spot on with their lines and blocking, Matthew launches into an intimidating tirade. Then, there is the catty Chelsea, played by Ashley Helmick. In addition to the part of Lady Macbeth, Chelsea is Matthew's girlfriend.

Then there is the crew, who like to hang out in the bowels of the theater to get high. Leigh Barthel is cast as Jill, the stage manager who must maintain her sanity while placating the director and the leads. She is dating another actor, Robert, who would like nothing better than to play Macbeth.
Although Robert knows all of Macbeth's lines, his acting skills may not be up to the task. The frustrating situation drives some of the company to drink and prompts a few others to take more drastic measures. Their schemes to manipulate the production produce some humorous and unexpected outcomes.
Shane Ramsey, as Robert, relays his desire for the lead to Jill and asks her to help him get Matthew to drop out of the show. They come up with a daring plot that disables Matthew and moves Robert from understudy into the desired role.
Jill blames the "accident" on the inept crew; however, more complications develop no one saw coming. The actors wonder whether the production really is cursed, as some theater lore suggests.
Director Dan unravels a little more with each challenge but proclaims, "The show must go on."
Dan moves Brian (Brady Gibson) into the understudy spot for Macbeth as Robert begins to crumble under the pressure of being the leading actor. When he is late for rehearsal, Brian stands in for him. Dan is impressed with Brian's performance, making Robert even more insecure.
Some funny scenes result when Brian tries to upstage Robert at practice. In addition, other members of the troupe suspect Robert had a role in Matthew's injury. When Chelsea flirts with Robert, Jill becomes jealous and causes another "accident" in Chelsea's dressing room, while Robert threatens a fellow actor in parallel dressing room scenes.
It seems some of these modern actors have become Shakespeare's troubled characters.
Jill is forced to play Lady Macbeth in Chelsea's place, opposite the nervous Robert. The charcters have "wardrobe malfunctions" because the costumes were designed to fit other people. The chaos continues right up through opening night, with Dan going into meltdown just before curtain. The audience must rely on suspended disbelief to accept the outrageous antics of the actors and unlikely onstage mishaps.
In addition to those previously named, the cast includes Allyn Frye, Desmond Hall, Kristina Kamm, AJ Lacefield, Morgan LaFlure, Jenna Rhoades, Liz Rhode, Kayla Rollins, Deana Shook and Addie Woost.
The sound crew does a good job with all the cues that are needed to keep the pace of the show, and the costume mistress was able to adapt existing garments in the department's collection.
Student director Katelyn Hough has managed to keep her composure while orchestrating the first production of this original play. She said many of the cast members are involved in other campus groups and attendance at some rehearsals was spotty. This is her first experience at directing, so she had to learn to be the "bad guy" to get good results.
Hough also praised her first-time stage manager, Marina Richie.
"We both learned a lot," Hough said. "I did have good commitment from the cast and crew."
Chris Tucci was Hough's mentor for her directing debut. Although he stayed in the background as much as possible, she said he made himself available when she needed his guidance. Also, Hough made weekly phone calls to Ouellette to work out difficulties.
She said the playwright actually altered the script to make it work at Gundlach. Ouellette and his parents are expected to attend the Saturday performance of "The M Word."
Hough, a Heidelberg senior, said directing has been "fulfilling but exasperating." Having acted in numerous shows, she said the experience has given her a greater respect for what directors do.
Admission is a freewill donation. Due to some adult language, the play is not recommended for younger children.

Open Space General Planning and Development Policy:
The primary role of the Teller County Division of Parks in the protection of
open lands in the Teller County region is education and advocacy.
Direct acquisition and/or management of additional open lands is unlikely at
this time given the absence of dedicated funding for those purposes.
The Parks Division has been working with the Gold Belt National Scenic Byway
Board of Directors to foster education and advocacy of open land protection
options in southwestern Teller County and areas of northern Fremont County.
In addition, working with the Trails and Open Space Coalition of the Pikes
Peak Region, the Parks Division formed the Rural Lifestyles Protection Group.
This group, comprised of ranchers, rural property owners, agency officials and
interested community members, was formed in 1999 to foster the
"Preservation of Rural Lands" through education and advocacy directed
towards private property owners.

I'm so beyond sick of seeing him five feet from the puck, and watching him turn away from it. Rather than hustling and putting some pressure on the other team by going after the puck, he'd rather just float on by. SO LAZY.
The only thing this guy has ever been good for, and I have to give him credit for this, is that he can magically be in the right spot to tip the puck in. But he has never ever made a play (that i've seen) or created a turn-over or back-checked when it mattered.

Pretty frustrating to watch but in the grand scheme of things, I think he brings more to the table than Samuelsson.
Posted 18 April 2007 - 05:30 AM
I used to be a Lang supporter, but I just can't do it anymore. He COULD have tied the game, who knows what could have happened IF he actually got a shot off late in the 3rd. Instead, just like his "breakaway" in game 2, he reverted to the pace of a snail and botched any chance of success. BENCH HIM, PLEASE!
I was thinking the same thing when he took his sweet time there. GOD! Bench him!
This was so funny I had to set it as my sig.

Surprisingly, I'm not going to argue with most of you. Lang hasn't been on his game. I'll admit it. What bothers me, though, is that he isn't the only one that is screwing up, yet he seems to be the only one getting talked about negatively. Like some said, Sammy isn't doing his job either. Where are the "I hate Sammy" threads? Lidstrom had some bad plays last night too, but since he is so respected, no one dares to say anything about it.
Like I said, I'm not saying Lang is playing like a hockey god, but he isn't the only one who is responsible for the loss. All I'm saying is if you're going to complain about how one player sucks because he isn't playing well, you might as well complain about all of them. We lost as a team. Don't take it out on one person.
Thanks Offsides, You are too kind
Posted 18 April 2007 - 07:54 AM
The play that really pissed me off (besides losing two faceoffs in a row at the end of the game) is towards the end, he got a perfect pass in the middle of the slot and literally just stood there, holding the puck, instead of shooting the one-timer.
BTW, that amazing pass was brought to you by Bertuzzi. He actually caught the Calgary defense off guard with it, and instead of one timing or sending a quick wrister, he looked down at the puck giving enough time for their D to eat him up. Pathetic.
Question 1: Why doesn't the Detroit media (or Babcock) completely call Lang out? I mean why not? I would think reporters and Babs are watching the same game...so what do they have to lose? At least fire the guy up or something because he's playing like he's got nothing to prove. Which he should.
Question 2: Why was Lang out for the last draw (with 15 seconds left)? Why did Drapes come off? I'm still shaking my head at that one.

Back in the days of cowboys and indians. The cowboys would go out into the loan range for long periods of time, and come back with only the clothes on their back. This would mean they would be forced to strip down to there boots (which would be left on to avoid rattle snakes)to wash their clothes. Hence in order to avoid confusion with passers by, the cowboy would shout (or call if you will) "booty, booty" so people would be able to take measures to avoid seeing him.
ergo Booty Call

Student Schools Teacher in How NOT to Get Kids Excited About Learning (VIDEO)Meredith Carroll
Jeff Bliss isn't claiming he knows the right way to get kids excited about learning. But he definitely knows how not to get them excited: Give them packets.
The Duncanville High School sophomore got kicked of his World History class in Texas earlier this week after he questioned his teacher about why he and his classmates weren't being given the same amount of time to take a test as students in her other classes, according to MyFoxFW.com.
Bliss said the teacher used profanity in her response to him and told him to leave.
Upset by what he said was the teacher's "lack of passion for her profession," Bliss launched into a passionate speech about education, which was covertly recorded by a classmate.
"If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a freaking packet, there's kids in here who don't learn like that," he said to her. Bliss dropped out of school after his freshman year and later returned. He said he takes his schoolwork very seriously and would like all of his teachers to do the same.
The video has gone viral, and Bliss told Fox he's received support from teachers and administrators — and even his mom, even though he thinks his approach could have been better in letting his teacher know her approach left much to be desired.

Wonderful weather all year 'round
Silver City and Grant County have an almost ideal year-round climate, with plenty of sun and few very hot or very cold days.
According to the National Weather Service, our county is far removed from parts of the country prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.
And although we're part of the sunny southwest, there is just enough of a Fall and Winter to assure us four gentle seasons, with blazing fall foliage and at least occasionally a little snow to frame our spectacular views.
Altitudes in the County range from 4,000 above sea level in the high desert at the southern end of the county to mountains touching 10,000 feet in the north. Silver City, Bayard, Hurley and the central part of the county are just under 6,000 feet above sea level. Pinos Altos and other nearby communities to the north and east are at 6,000 to 7,000 feet.
Each winter brings one or two snow storms to the County, although it is unusual for snow to persist on the roads in the southern and central part of the county for more than a day, and snow accumulation of any amount in the south is not common. Area schools occasionally have snow-day cancellations, although these seem to be far too few in number for the students' liking.
The northern tier of the county and places elsewhere in the county above 7,000 feet can have snow on the ground for several days or more. The Burro Mountains, while quite close to Silver City, often have snow cover for several days at a time, as do the mountains east and north of Silver City.
Snow pack in the highest elevations of the county is an important source of river and groundwater, and is highly prized and welcome. Cross-country skiing, sledding and tubing are possible in these locations at times, but these activities are not reliably available throughout winter. There is no ski resort in the county.
Back-country travel and driving during the winter is best planned with the assistance of a Chamber of Commerce member familiar with the area you are traveling to. A few remote roads high in the County's mountains may be closed by bad weather for days or weeks at a time.
Cold Weather
Because of our low-humidity environment, temperature swings from day to night can be pronounced: The dry air heats up rapidly, but cools rapidly, as well. December and January nights can sometimes see temperatures in the teens or high single-digits, but the following afternoon can see temperatures in the 40s, 50s or higher.
Hot Weather
The same low-humidity environment that causes temperature swings in the winter provides a real benefit in the summer: Although sunny days in summer can occasionally reach 100 degrees, especially in the south of the County, nighttime temperatures can be cooler by 30 degrees or more. After the arrival of summer monsoon rains, cooling can take place rapidly any time after a rain.
While blisteringly hot weather is very rare, the County is almost always dry: Plan to take plenty of water whenever you travel, and most visitors find a lip ointment and/or sunscreen to be handy additions.
Never leave children or pets in cars, RVs or enclosed spaces. Summer temperatures in vehicles and enclosed spaces can reach 130 degrees or more very quickly.
Just give Cissy a call at (575) 538-1337 or email her for a no-obligation tour of the area.

SHENANDOAH JUNCION - Jefferson coach John Lowery knows his team will be a decided underdog when the Cougars face Hedgesville today in the Class AAA, Region II semifinals.
He is OK with that.
"I think we're the underdog," the veteran coach said Saturday after the Cougars beat Washington 4-0 to claim the Class AAA, Region II, Section 1 crown.

Journal file photo by Ron Agnir
Hedgesville's Daniel Heleine, right, beats out a throw to first base as Jefferson's Andrew King catches the ball during the their season-opening game in March. The two teams will meet in today's Class AAA,?Region II semifinal.
"Hedgesville has the best team in our area this year. They've proved it on the field time in and time out. But our kids have some spunk to them, too. I think it will be an interesting game Monday night."
Hedgesville (25-7) has beaten Jefferson (22-12) twice this season.
"It's a whole new season now," Hedgesville coach Dirk Webb said. "We have played well, and we have beaten some good teams this year. Baseball is a strange game. Anything can happen."
Hedgesville has two close wins against the Cougars. The first time was in the season opener March 19, when Hedgesville won 4-2. The Eagles also beat Jefferson 11-6 April 18.
Hedgesville has been bashing the ball lately.
The Eagles have won seven straight, and they are averaging better than 10 runs a game over that streak.
Hedgesville is led by Daniel Heleine, who tied the team record for home runs with his 14th in an 11-8 win over Musselman in the Section 2 championship game. He also holds the school RBI record with 53.
The Eagles have benefited from moving Troy Markley from the leadoff spot to cleanup, a rare, but, in this instance, key move.
Markley was injured in a regular season game against Martinsburg, and the junior missed some time.
"We had to find a leadoff hitter, and Stevie (Hite) moved there and did a good job," Webb said. "When Troy came back, we moved him to four. He's a great contact hitter and batting behind (Heleine) allows him to see some good pitches and drive in some runs he wouldn't get to in the leadoff spot."
Jefferson, which has 22 regional championships and 10 state titles, has gotten a mixture of good pitching and timely hitting in claiming yet another section crown.
After falling 9-8 to Washington Friday in Game 2 of the Section 1 playoffs, Blake Johnson tossed a complete game 4-0 shutout to win the section championship.
Johnson won't throw Monday, but he is ready for the challenge of playing Hedgesville again.
"I don't know who we're pitching yet," he said. "But I'm ready to go out and get them and win a semi-regional game."
Teammate Andrew King agreed that pitching will be key for the Cougars.
We're feeling good," he said. "We have lots of pitching. I think we'll do well."
Meanwhile, it was the first sectional baseball championship for Hedgesville since 1980.
"It's a good feeling," Heleine said. "We felt really good coming into the season, and we felt like this would be our year. Advancing feels great, but we are hoping to do more."
Hampshire, the team that likely possesses the best pitching staff in the area, faces Buckhannon-Upshur in the other Region 2 semifinal.
The Trojans fell in their first game to Elkins in the Section 3 title series but rallied to sweep the series the following day in a doubleheader.

Morgan Freeman: Untouchable
With his elegant style, maintained despite flexing his considerable acting muscle in some pretty gritty roles, Morgan Freeman, 63, has been compared to Fred Astaire, who was a notorious disciplinarian. So what is it like for younger actors to work with so strong, if graceful, a presence? At a recent press gathering to promote his latest release, "Along Came a Spider," a prequel to 1997's "Kiss the Girls" (and, like the earlier movie, based on a novel by James Patterson), Freeman –- tongue firmly planted in cheek -- told PEOPLE: "The first thing I tell them is, never touch me. The second is, when I am talking don't talk. The third is, 'Don't be late to the set.' " In truth, said Freeman, "I don't tell them anything. This is something you have to live with. It is just another facet of having any kind of reputation. It goes before you and colors everything until people meet you. I am just a working stiff. I am not anybody's anything."

Christen Brown should have died Dec. 15, 1998.
That night a pickup truck hit the then 15-year-old girl in California. A four-inch scar runs down the top of her head as a permanent reminder of what happened.
"I almost died," Brown recalls. "But I didn't because Brian was my guardian angel."
She hitchhiked for two days from Bakersfield, Calif., to Amarillo to honor the friend she never met. Brown read about what happened to 19-year-old Brian Deneke in a magazine article and felt an instant connection.
"It really touched my heart," she said.
The Unity Through Diversity festival at the Peace Farm on Texas Highway 60 east of Amarillo began Saturday bringing together several bands and hundreds of people, like Brown, to honor Deneke's life.
He died after a fight in the parking lot of the Western Plaza Shopping Center on Dec. 12, 1997. Dustin Camp, then 17, struck Deneke with a Cadillac.
National media covered the event focusing on the differences between Deneke, a so-called "punk," and Camp, a "prep."
In September, a jury found Camp guilty of manslaughter, resulting in a $10,000 fine and probation for 10 years. Later, the Deneke family was awarded $20,000 from a compromise settlement.
"A person was murdered, and then raped by the justice system," said Martin Black, a friend of Deneke's from Amarillo. "It's just ridiculous."
Deneke's family and friends established the Brian Deneke Memorial Committee. This organization planned the weekend event to help spread their message.
"We want people to come together to experience diversity," said Mike Deneke, Brian's father.
Bands such as Government Cheese, John Blackburn, Strange Daze, The Staggers and Free Radicals performed Saturday. The bands donated their time for the festival to remember Deneke.
"Something like this, in his honor, he would have never perceived," Mike Deneke said.
Besides the music, people could buy T-shirts with Deneke's picture, along with art and food.
"We want them to know we support them," said Sandra Mathis, while assembling sandwiches at the Bob & Sons Taxi Service food stand. "It's for a good cause."
One incident during Saturday's event put a glitch in the festivities.
A 19-year-old Amarillo man apparently was upset when a television van entered the Peace Farm to cover the event, said Mary McIntyre, a Deneke Memorial Committee member.
"He had a problem with the media," she said.
After staff members unsuccessfully tried to control the man, the Carson County Sheriff's Department was notified.
The officer on the scene sprayed the individual with pepper spray, said Carson County Sheriff Gary Robertson.
"He was allegedly overdosed on something," Robertson said.
He was then transferred to Northwest Texas Hospital. The man will be charged with resisting arrest, Robertson said.
"He was overcome with grief, anger and alcohol," said Jeff Blackburn, the Deneke family attorney and one of the festival's organizers.
The entire Unity Through Diversity event was advertised as being drug-free.
The event will continue today with bands such as Sloe, That Hiding Smile, 12 Cents, The Undead and Mike Watt and the Pair of Pliers will entertain the crowd today.
The event costs $5. Bands will start playing at noon, with the final performance scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. The money raised in excess of covering the festival costs will go to the memorial committee.

Rainbow Layer CakeJenny
OK, can you believe? Family Kitchen reader Lia submitted this entry for the Birthday cake contest and I have to say I'm in love. Mostly because it's just so brilliantly simple. Lia made it for her daughter's fourth birthday (which, speaking from experience, does seem to be peak age for girls' Rainbow Phases) and basically just used food coloring in regular vanilla batter for each layer (click to the jump for more detailed instructions). A big thank-you to Lia for submitting and to everyone who is flooding my inbox with more genius ideas. Winner will be announced in May, so keep them coming!
Directions for Rainbow Cake from Lia:
I used a doctored cake mix recipe for white cake. I had to double it so that I had enough for four layers. After mixing up the batter I divided it equally into 6 bowls. I colored each bowl with gel food coloring (it takes a lot less food coloring to get bright colors working with gel rather than liquid), making sure the colors were really bright. After spraying the pans with non-stick spray, I poured two colors into each pan: Red/Orange, Orange/Yellow, Green/Blue, Blue/Purple. When adding the second color to the pan I carefully scooped it in with a spoon rather than pouring so that the colors wouldn't mix too much. I actually used Wilton baking strips around the outside of the pans so that the cakes would rise evenly and I wouldn't have to trim off a bunch of the color. I baked according to the directions on the mix and left them to cool.
I made a double batch of cream cheese frosting (but you could also use simple buttercream). I left one half white and then divided the other half into three separate bowls. I colored one bowl orange, one yellow and one blue using the same gel food coloring. I tried to match the brightness of the cake as close as possible with the frosting so it would blend in. Then I just stacked, putting the blue frosting between the bottom two layers, the yellow frosting in the middle, and the orange frosting between the top two layers. Frosted the whole thing with the white frosting and decorated with colored nonpareils.

Valley gang task force uncovers arsenal of weapons in Cathedral City shooting
Officers seize 13 rifles and shotguns, 4 handguns and stockpile of ammunition
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - Nearly 20 guns and ammunition are now off the streets of Cathedral City.
"The task force did exactly what it's put together to do," said Lt. Chuck Robinson, of the Cathedral City Police Department.
Several hours after a shooting in the Dream Homes neighborhood on Wednesday night, police arrested 33-year-old Frederico Garza, of Cathedral City, and his suspected accomplice, 30-year-old Ester Lozano, of Desert Hot Springs.
Officers say Garza approached a 32-year-old acquaintance around 8:00 p.m. on San Gabriel Circle and demanded money. After the man refused, Garza exited the car and then began shooting at the victim as he ran away. Garza and his driver, Lozano, drove off.
Police say the shooting was not gang-related, but called the incident "senseless." No one was hurt.
The Coachella Valley Gang Task Force found the suspect's car in the 30500 block of San Joaquin Drive in Cathedral City. Officers served a search warrant on Thursday, which is what led them to weapons stashed throughout Garza's home.
"The folks involved in the shooting are recognized gang members in the community. They're armed. They're felons and they have weapons they shouldn't be in possession of," said Robinson.
Police said they found 13 rifles and shotguns, 4 handguns and a stockpile of ammunition, including the handgun used in Wednesday's shooting.
"It's scary because they're your neighbors. You don't know what they carry. It's a relief they caught him," said Jessica Escobar, of Cathedral City.
The suspects both face charges, Garza for attempted murder and Lozano for being an accessory.
Garza will also face multiple charges including possession of firearms.
"These are all serious felonies. We'll hopefully keep this person off the street," said Robinson.
Neighbors like Jessica Escobar hope so too.
"I hope they continue. Hopefully there will be a stop to it," she said.
Robinson says, "The victim is safe, suspects are in custody, weapons are off the street and Cathedral City is a safer place."
During the search of Garza's home, police arrested his sister 32-year-old Cecilia Garza for an outstanding drug warrant.

In regards to the three accidents in Brooklyn within a year it seems that there should be some way to test and retest a person after a certain age to see if their driving skills are adequate.
I think a person should have the privilege to drive if they pass certain requirements.
However, the Pamida was hit, the Shopko was hit and now the bakery. All of these accidents happened where pedestrians walk on a daily basis. What will it take? Hopefully not a person being injured or killed.
It would be nice if family members or friends would help the elderly with errands, etc. Thankfully no one has been injured so far.

Germany routs Brazil, 7-1, in semifinal
Belo Horizonte, Brazil — The fireworks began at dawn. All around this city, loud pops and bangs rang out as men and women and children, so many dressed in yellow, set off flares and beeped car horns.
It was supposed to be a magical day. The Brazilian national soccer team, playing at home, was one game away from a World Cup final.
No one could have guessed the tears would come before halftime. No one could have imagined there would be flags burning in the streets before dinner. Certainly no one could have envisioned that Brazilian fans, watching their team play a semifinal in a celebrated stadium, would ever consider leaving long before full time.
It all happened. The 2014 World Cup, first plagued by questions about funding and protests and infrastructure and construction, then buoyed by scads of goals and dramatic finishes and a contagious spirit of joy from the locals, will ultimately be remembered for this: the home team, regarded as the sport's superpower, being throttled like an overmatched junior varsity squad that somehow stumbled into the wrong game.
The final score was Germany 7, Brazil 1. It felt like Germany 70, Brazil 1. By the end, the Germans were barely celebrating their goals anymore, and the Brazilians, starting with their coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, could manage little more than blank stares.
In the stands, the Brazilian fans — the ones who stayed around at least — passed the time by cycling through obscene chants about each player, as well as the Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff.
"I think," Scolari said afterward, "that it was the worst day of my life."
He was surely not alone in that sentiment. Sports are often a haven of hyperbole, but there was little risk of that here Tuesday. Given the circumstances and the stakes, this result — a soccer massacre of the highest order — may well be remembered as the most surprising in World Cup history.
At the very minimum, it will go down as Brazil's worst loss, surpassing a 6-0 defeat by Uruguay in 1920. It was also Brazil's first loss in a competitive home game since 1975, a stretch of more than 14,000 days. For more than six decades, Brazilians had been hoping to erase the embarrassment of their team's defeat in the 1950 World Cup final — also against Uruguay — which denied them a championship the last time they hosted their favorite sport's biggest tournament.
Somehow, the fans came away from this World Cup with a nightmare even darker.
"It was the biggest embarrassment of all World Cups — 7-1 in a semifinal playing at home?" said Marcel Guimares, 38, who traveled to Belo Horizonte from Brasilia. "Not even in a video game."
The record will show that Brazil played without its top scorer, Neymar, who was injured in the quarterfinals, as well as without its top defender, captain Thiago Silva, who was suspended. As important as both players were to Brazil, however, it is difficult to imagine either one having made much of a difference.
The Germans were merciless, playing with grace and unity and a raw power that saw them rip open the Brazilian defense. Thomas Mueller opened the scoring in the 11th minute, blasting home a corner kick from just 6 yards. Miroslav Klose followed about 12 minutes later, knocking in a rebound to record his 16th career World Cup goal and become the tournament's all-time leading scorer.
By then, the mood at the Estadio Mineiro already had deflated, but the fans had no idea what was yet to come. In the next 6 minutes, Germany scored three more goals, which essentially ended the match before a half-hour had been played. Toni Kroos scored two of those goals; Sami Khedira added the other.
"I couldn't change anything," Scolari said. "It was one goal after the other. There was nothing to be done during that breakdown."
The second half — yes, they played the second half — was more of the same. Andre Schuerrle scored two more goals for Germany. Brazil kicked the ball around as if in a stupor.
"If someone had said before that we are going to win 7-1," Kroos said, "I would certainly not have believed it."
Oscar, a Brazilian midfielder, did manage to score in the final minutes, but the goal prompted little excitement. By then, reality had set in: Brazil will leave this tournament having never played a game at the Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. The final will be played there Sunday, but it will be Germany walking onto this country's most famous stage to face either the Netherlands or Argentina in a bid for its fourth World Cup title.

We loved our stay in San Francisco.
The room was very spacy.
We had a gorgeous view over the city.
Due to our jetlag we saw every sunrise;)
Laurence and Nick were very nice and gave us much privacy.
If we ever come back we would definitely like to stay there again!
The appartment which is located in the attic of their house is fantastic - great view, good bed, clean & tidy and nice bath.
The host Laurence is great - amongst others, he gave good advice on what´s good in SF and the area.
Nick sent daily mails with tips and insights.
Will return to Nick and Laurence next time I´m in SF.
Great place, fantastic unique view over the San Francisco bay, extremely friendly and helpful host! Short, it will lack nothing!
Super nice and safe neighborhood with Castro eetttentjes delicious!!
I'd better book fast if I were you!
We will be back!
Peter and Gerda
Geweldige plek, fantastisch uniek uitzicht over de san Fransisco baai, uiterst vriendelijke en behulpzame host!!kortom het zal je aan niets ontbreken!
Super fijne en veilige buurt Castro met delicious eetttentjes!!!
Ik zou maar snel boeken als ik jou was!!
Wij komen zeker terug!
Pieter en Gerda
La experiencia ha sido fantastica.
Todo excepcional.
Thanks Nick and Laurence for your gorgeous advices and your hospitality.
Nice nice to meet you.
Loved our stay in this cool SF artist's garret cum penthouse. It's much bigger than it looks on the photos; it actually takes quite a while to walk from one end of the apartment to the other! The bed is huge and comfy. The jacuzzi splendidly decadent and the view simply stunning.
The open bathroom arrangement is a bit strange, but as the place is so big, it really didn't cause us any problems. There is a shower attachment but as the roof slopes you can't stand up under it.
Our hosts, Nick and Laurence, were welcoming and helpful, and they seem to have thought of pretty much everything. It's a really comfortable place to stay and you feel pretty cool there too, as you lounge around drinking in the view of this fabulous city or sunbathing in front of the open window.
Not sure this place would be great for party animals. There is an expectation that you'll be quiet (being on the top floor and above everyone else). This was fine for us and meant that the whole building was v peaceful and quiet.
We thought the location of this apartment was great. Two mins walk to the Muni (10 mins to downtown from your front door) and historic F line streetcar and, on lots of other transport routes. If you walk a few hundred yards up the hill from the apartment you can get fabulous views from Corona Heights and Buena Vista parks. The Castro is also handy for the Mission, the Haight, painted ladies, Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks and loads of other things you'll probably want to see.
The Castro was splendidly bonkers, and good fun, and welcoming for straight couples too. It's a far cry from Fisherman's Wharf, but you may just think that that's a good thing.
As already written by our predecessor both hosts couldn´t have been more kind and helpful. They provide as much information as possible in preparation of your trip and also during your stay, though we always had our privacy.
The location is perfect, convenient and calm neighbourhood, however in the middle of Castro with a good transport connection and many restaurants, bars and shops within splitting distance.
The appartment is clean and comfy, and, again, with a breathtaking view.
Heartily recommended
This room has the most amazing view of SF. The bed was so comfy we were sad to leave
The Castro is a great place to stay for transport links and is much better than downtown if you want to be close to Golden Gate Park and really feel SF.
Nick and Laurence are great hosts and are most helpful and welcoming.
The house is so Charming, five stars plus
Sarah and Jordan Rubinstein
Very unique and romantic place with magical view of the city!!! Everything is very special about it: Beautiful interior design where you find Marilyn Monroe smiling at you , comfortable and spacious bed, that will help you to recharge for up coming adventures, big bath tab, where you can warm up after foggy walks on Buena Vista, and of corse breath taking view will be there rather you having a cup of coffee in a morning or enjoying a bottle of wine at night. We fell in love with Attic as much as with neighborhood, full of restaurants, lil shops and famous Castro theater. Laurence is a wonderful host, hospitable and very thoughtful . I would definitely recommend this place for people who are looking for romance and a little bit of magic. Perfect for couples:)
Absolutely fantastic location, room, and host. Couldn't have been more kind or helpful. Heartily recommended.
Also we felt on the whole, with Nick and Laurence well. Going through the narrow spiral staircase up once you have a fantastic view over San Francisco. However, I can the words of a previous Bwertung then that the uninsulated roof represents some impairment. Especially in the morning when trying to shower (it has only the big tub in the attic, not so easy) one notices the lack of heating and it is quite fresh so wet in the tub. Wi-Fi is available and functioning more or less well. The road to Castro Station is very short and the connection to Downtown SF great, either by F-Streetcat-line or by underground Muni are great. We had no car but have bought us this Muni Passports, doing great. Best buy immediately upon arrival at the airport. And from the airport, we let go of a public van from the company "Go Lorries". Is stress free and goes from door to door. All in all a great time. Thanks to Nick and Laurence
Auch wir haben uns im Grossen und Ganzen bei Nick & Laurence wohl gefühlt. Wenn man mal durch die enge Wendeltreppe oben ist hat man einen fantastischen Blick über San Francisco. Allerdings kann ich mich den Worten einer vorherigen Bwertung anschliessend, dass das nicht isolierte Dach eine gewisse Beeinträchtigung darstellt. Vor allem morgens beim Versuch zu duschen (es hat ja nur die grosse Badewanne unter der Dachschräge,gar nicht so einfach) merkt man die fehlende Heizung und es ist doch recht frisch so nass in der Wanne.
Das WLAN ist vorhanden und funktioniert mehr oder weniger gut .
Der Weg zur Castro Station ist sehr kurz und die Anbindung an Downtown SF super, entweder per F-Streetcat-Linie oder per Underground-Muni sind super. Wir hatten kein Auto sondern haben uns dieses Muni-Passports gekauft, geht prima. Am besten gleich bei der Ankunft am Flughafen kaufen. Vom und zum Flughafen haben wir uns von einem Public Van von der Firma "Go Lorries" fahren lassen. Ist stressfrei und geht von Tür zu Tür.
Alles in allem eine tolle Zeit. Danke an Nick & Laurence

Do you like the catchy title for this post?
No particular order here. Do love Google Analytics, though.
- "dear professor i would like to inform that i couldn't make an assignment because my internet connection it was very bad" (that is awfully specific, no?)
- "the people in my academy class are assholes" (I wonder if what this person found here was useful)
- "the theme for lesser blessed" (I'm not doing your homework for you, cool guy)
- "will they shut down the school if 15% of kids are sick" (what are you planning?)
- "sample graded spanish essays" (you were definitely disappointed)
- "post traumatic stress doctors elk river mn" (you, too)
- "five stages of grief rip-off" (that's fair, actually)
- "in what type of courses do you tend to earn the highest grades?" (not mine, pumpkin)
- "i swore to make my home work assignments my first priority" (believe it or not, 7 people found the blog with this search string — sounds like February regrets if ever I've heard them)
- "i got a doctorate am i a dr" (well, not that kind)
How did you meander over here, good reader? Hilarious search term or something less entertaining?
