Robert Griffin III is a proud techie. He sits down with Katie Linendoll to talk about his favorite video game, his biggest gadget purchase and for some interesting audible callsTags: NFL, Robert Griffin III, RG3, Katie Linendoll, Assasin's Creed, Madden
Robert Griffin III gave the New York Giants plenty of trouble the first time he faced the Super Bowl champions.
The Washington Redskins rookie superstar believes he may be even more lethal in this rematch.
Griffin and the Redskins can win their third straight Monday night as they try to pull within one game of the Giants in the NFC East race.
The No. 2 overall draft pick's introduction to divisional play was a 27-23 loss at New York (7-4) on Oct. 21. He completed 20 of 28 passes for 258 yards and two scores and also ran nine times for 89 yards.
"It's a game we felt we should have won," Griffin said. "And we didn't win it, they got the win in their column and we got the loss."
That contest started a three-game slide for Washington (5-6), which has bounced back with consecutive NFC East victories behind its quarterback. Griffin threw four TD passes in each win in a five-day span over Philadelphia and Dallas, with the Redskins totaling 69 points.
"He is one of the best dual threats in our game today and we're going to have our hands full trying to stop that guy," Giants defensive end Justin Tuck said.
Griffin has doubled his season touchdown pass total over his last two games. Fellow rookie Aldrick Robinson has two TD catches in that span while Pierre Garcon, who missed the first meeting with a foot injury, is back and caught a 59-yard touchdown pass from Griffin in last Thursday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.
New York allowed 248 yards rushing in October -- its highest total yielded in three seasons. The Redskins are second in the NFL with 162.9 rushing yards per game behind rookie Alfred Morris, and now Griffin believes their passing attack is improved.
"The things they faced facing us the last time with the running game are still there but we've added elements in the passing game that make us more dangerous," Griffin said. "So they'll prepare for that and we'll see what happens."
While Griffin excelled the last time these teams met, the contest will be remembered for Eli Manning's game-winning 77-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz with 1:13 left. It came 19 seconds after Griffin hit Santana Moss for a 30-yard go-ahead score.
Manning received plenty of credit for the clutch play, but not from DeAngelo Hall. The cornerback said the defense blew the coverage, and that the Redskins "gave him that play."
Hall repeated his claim Wednesday.
"I could've made that throw," Hall said. "Eli's made a lot of great throws in his career, but like I said, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the guy was wide-open."
Not surprisingly, the Giants had a different viewpoint of the play.
"It was something that wasn't given to us," said Cruz, who is tied for the NFC lead with eight touchdown receptions. "The guys were in coverage, they were chasing after me, they were in position to potentially make plays on the ball, but unfortunately for them, they didn't do so."
Although Washington is allowing 301.4 passing yards per game for the second-worst mark in the NFL, Hall believes his defense matches up well against Manning. There may be something to that claim since the two-time Super Bowl MVP had only one touchdown to eight interceptions in a five-game stretch against the Redskins, including last month's contest before his strike to Cruz.
The pass to Cruz was Manning's last TD before a three-game stretch without one. The quarterback emphatically ended his drought Sunday with three scores and 249 yards as New York returned from the bye with a dominant 38-10 victory over Green Bay.
One negative for New York was that running back Andre Brown was lost for the season with a broken leg. Brown only has 385 yards, but he leads the NFC with eight TDs on the ground.
That opens the door for rookie first-round pick David Wilson to get more action. Wilson carried a season-high six times for 13 yards last Sunday.
"It's his time," coach Tom Coughlin said. "The timing as far as where he's coming from couldn't be any better, I don't think."
The Giants had a five-game win streak at FedEx Field snapped with a season-opening 28-14 loss last year. New York is two games in front of Dallas and Washington in the East.
"I think the stadium will be rocking, it'll be a great atmosphere Monday night," Manning said. "And it's a huge game for us, a chance to build a little bit more lead in the division for us."

Scouting Report
Giants-Redskins: What to watch
After watching film of both teams, Scouts Inc. breaks down key elements of the Week 13 Giants-Redskins matchup.
• Is the Giants' pass rush finally back? We saw a revival of the NASCAR pass rush versus the Packers, with four athletic guys rushing and seven dropping into coverage. For example, OLB Mathias Kiwanuka played a lot at DT, where he is an athletic mismatch for most offensive linemen. And when they get opposing offenses in pass situations, the Giants can tee it up. When the pass rush is going well, it protects the back end of this pass defense because the DBs do not have to hold their coverages too long. The Giants can exploit this Redskins O-line, but they must also set the edge, show good gap discipline and not let Robert Griffin III get outside on scrambles.

- African economies are growing amid bleak global conditions but the continent risks contamination from Europe's woes, a top economist said Tuesday.
"Every country is showing growth, that is the story: there is no country in Africa which is in the red," Mthuli Ncube, chief economist and vice president at the African Development Bank told AFP.
His figures do not include troubled Somalia and South Sudan.
"The lowest rate is in Swaziland with 0.8 percent. Even in North Africa: Tunisia recovered, Egypt recovered, Libya recovered in a big way," said Ncube, referring to the bank's growth estimates for mid-2012 to mid-2013.
"Even the worst countries are doing on average even slightly better than Europe."
The European crisis, which has hit tourism and led to falling raw material exports and a possible decline in investment and aid, remains a danger for Africa, warned Ncube.
"Any one percent drop in Europe's GDP would lead easily in a half a percent drop in Africa's GDP."
Among the Africa's economies set for the fastest growth from mid-2012 to mid-2013 are Libya with an expected growth rate of 14.8 percent after civil war saw the GDP plummet by more than 40 percent last year.
Ranging from just over seven percent to 8 percent growth are the Ivory Coast, Zambia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Angola, Mozambique, Ghana and Liberia. In Niger, 8.6 is forecast.
"We are not claiming by any means that this growth is inclusive, that it is creating lots of jobs, we are not claiming none of that, but it is growth nevertheless, and that is welcome," said Ncube.
The continent's powerhouse South Africa is among the slower performers, estimated to grow 2.9 percent, with its more integrated economy vulnerable to global tremors.
Growth in sub-Saharan Africa is forecast at 5.3 percent this year and 5.4 percent in 2013 — 6.3 percent for both years if South Africa is excluded — according to forecasts compiled with the OECD and the United Nations.
Growth in the whole of Africa is forecast to increase to 4.5 percent this year and 4.8 percent in 2013.
While those figures are significantly higher than in many Western economies, part of the gains are cancelled out by high population growth, which averages close to 3 percent in sub-Saharan Africa

PronunciationGeneric Name: methadone (METH a done)
Brand Name: Diskets, Dolophine, Methadose, Methadose Sugar-Free
What is methadone?
Methadone is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. Methadone also reduces withdrawal symptoms in people addicted to heroin or other narcotic drugs without causing the "high" associated with the drug addiction.
Methadone is used as a pain reliever and as part of drug addiction detoxification and maintenance programs.
Methadone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about methadone?
Taking methadone improperly will increase your risk of serious side effects or death. Even if you have used other narcotic medications, you may still have serious side effects from methadone. Follow all dosing instructions carefully.
Like other narcotic medicines, methadone can slow your breathing, even long after the pain-relieving effects of the medication wear off. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak. Never use more methadone than your doctor has prescribed. Call your doctor if you think the medicine is not working.
Do not stop using methadone suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Call your doctor if you miss doses or forget to take this medication for longer than 3 days in a row.
Do not drink alcohol. Methadone can increase the effects of alcohol, which could be dangerous. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how methadone will affect you.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using methadone?
Taking methadone improperly will increase your risk of serious side effects or death. Even if you have used other narcotic medications, you may still have serious side effects from methadone. Follow all dosing instructions carefully.
Methadone may be habit forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Never share Methadone with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
Do not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include codeine, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others). You should also not take methadone if you are having an asthma attack or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
To make sure you can safely use methadone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
a personal or family history of "Long QT syndrome";
asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
liver or kidney disease;
underactive thyroid;
curvature of the spine;
a history of head injury or brain tumor;
epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
low blood pressure;
gallbladder disease;
Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
enlarged prostate, urination problems;
mental illness; or
a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Methadone will harm an unborn baby. Methadone may cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using Methadone.
Methadone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Older adults and people with debilitating conditions may be more sensitive to the effects of this medication.
How should I use methadone?
Use exactly as prescribed. Never use Methadone in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Like other narcotic medicines, methadone can slow your breathing, even long after the pain-relieving effects of the medication wear off. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak. Never use more methadone than your doctor has prescribed. Call your doctor if you think the medicine is not working.
When methadone is used as part of a treatment program for drug addiction or detoxification, you will receive the medication through a clinic or special pharmacy.
Your doctor may recommend that methadone be given to you by a family member or other caregiver. This is to make sure you are using the medicine as it was prescribed as part of your treatment.
Additional forms of counseling and/or monitoring may be recommended during treatment with methadone.
Methadone is available in tablets, dispersible tablets, oral solution (liquid) and as an injection. The pill and oral liquid forms of methadone must never be used to make a methadone injection.
Measure the liquid form of methadone with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
The methadone dispersible tablet (Diskets) is made to be dissolved in water. Do not chew, crush, or swallow the tablet whole. Place the tablet into a 4-ounce glass of water, orange juice, or other citrus-flavored non-alcoholic beverage and allow the tablet to disperse in the liquid. The tablet will not dissolve completely. Drink this mixture right away. To make sure you get the entire dose, add a little more liquid to the same glass, swirl gently and drink right away.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
After you have stopped using this medication, flush any unused pills down the toilet.
Keep track of how much of this medicine has been used. Methadone is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
If you miss your doses for longer than 3 days in a row, call your doctor for instructions. You may need to restart methadone at a lower dose.
What happens if I overdose?

Methadone Dosing Information
Usual Adult Dose for Pain:
Oral: Starting dose 2.5 mg to 10 mg every 8 to 12 hours. Dose may be slowly titrated to effect. More frequent administration may be required to maintain adequate analgesia however extreme caution is necessary to avoid overdosage, taking into account methadone's long elimination half-life.
IV, IM, subcutaneously: Starting dose 2.5 mg to 10 mg every 8 to 12 hours. Dose may be slowly titrated to effect. More frequent administration may be required to maintain adequate analgesia however extreme caution is necessary to avoid overdosage, taking into account methadone's long elimination half-life.
Usual Adult Dose for Opiate Withdrawal:
Initial Dose: 15 to 40 mg once a day. The oral route is preferred unless the patient is unable to ingest oral methadone, then parenteral form can be used. 5 to 10 mg additional doses may be given if symptoms of abstinence are distressing.
After one or two days, a 20% daily reduction in dose can usually be tolerated. Detoxification can usually be completed within 10 days.
Maintenance of opioid dependence: 20 to 120 mg/day.
Oral - Diskets:
Induction/Initial Dosing:
The initial methadone dose should be administered, under supervision, when there are no signs of sedation or intoxication, and the patient shows symptoms of withdrawal.
Initial dose: a single dose of 20 to 30 mg of methadone will often be sufficient to suppress withdrawal symptoms. The initial dose should not exceed 30 mg.
If same day dosing adjustments are to be made, the patient should be asked to wait two to four hours for further evaluation, when peak levels have been reached. An additional 5 to 10 mg of methadone may be provided if withdrawal symptoms have not been suppressed or if symptoms reappear. The total daily dose of methadone on the first day of treatment should not ordinarily exceed 40 mg. Dose adjustments should be made over the first week of treatment based on control of withdrawal symptoms at the time of expected peak activity (e.g., 2 to 4 hours after dosing). Dose adjustment should be cautious; deaths have occurred in early treatment due to the cumulative effects of the first several days dosing. Because diskets can be administered only in 10 mg increments, diskets may not be the appropriate product for initial dosing in many patients. Patients should be reminded that the dose will "hold" for a longer period of time as tissue stores of methadone accumulate.
Initial doses should be lower for patients whose tolerance is expected to be low at treatment entry. Loss of tolerance should be considered in any patient who has not taken opioids for more than five days. Initial doses should not be determined by previous treatment episodes or dollars spent per day on illicit drug use.
For Short-term Detoxification:
For patients preferring a brief course of stabilization followed by a period of medically supervised withdrawal, it is generally recommended that the patient be titrated to a total daily dose of about 40 mg in divided doses to achieve an adequate stabilizing level. Stabilization can be continued for 2 to 3 days, after which the dose of methadone should be gradually decreased. The rate at which methadone is decreased should be determined separately for each patient. The dose of methadone can be decreased on a daily basis or at two day intervals, but the amount of intake should remain sufficient to keep withdrawal symptoms at a tolerable level. In hospitalized patients, a daily reduction of 20% of the total daily dose may be tolerated. In ambulatory patients, a somewhat slower schedule may be needed. Because diskets can be administered only in 10 mg increments, diskets may not be the appropriate product for gradual dose reduction in many patients.
For Maintenance Treatment:
Patients in maintenance treatment should be titrated to a dose at which opioid symptoms are prevented for 24 hours, drug hunger or craving is reduced, the euphoric effects of self-administered opioids are blocked or attenuated, and the patient is tolerant to the sedative effects of methadone. Most commonly, clinical stability is achieved at doses between 80 to 120 mg/day.
For Medically Supervised Withdrawal After a Period of Maintenance Treatment:
There is considerable variability in the appropriate rate of methadone taper in patients choosing medically supervised withdrawal from methadone treatment. It is generally suggested that dose reductions should be less than 10% of the established tolerance or maintenance dose, and that 10 to 14 day intervals should elapse between dose reductions. Because diskets can be administered only in 10 mg increments, it may not be the appropriate product for gradual dose reduction in many patients. Patients should be apprised of the high risk of relapse to illicit drug use associated with discontinuation of methadone maintenance treatment.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Pain:
Note: Doses should be titrated to appropriate effects:
Neonatal abstinence syndrome:
Oral or IV:
Initial: 0.05 to 0.2 mg/kg/dose given every 12 to 24 hours or 0.5 mg/kg/day divided every 8 hours. Individualize dose and tapering schedule to control symptoms of withdrawal. Usually taper dose by 10 to 20% per week over 1 to 1 and 1/2 months. Note: Due to long elimination half-life, tapering is difficult; consider alternate agent.
Note: Doses should be titrated to appropriate effects:
Analgesia: Note: Dosing interval may range from 4 to 12 hours during initial therapy. Decrease in dose or frequency may be required approximately 2 to 5 days after initiation of therapy or dosage increase due to accumulation with repeated doses.
Initial: 0.1 mg/kg/dose every 4 hours for 2 to 3 doses, then every 6 to 12 hours as needed
Maximum dose: 10 mg/dose
Oral, IM, SubQ:
Initial: 0.1 mg/kg/dose every 4 hours for 2 to 3 doses, then every 6 to 12 hours as needed or 0.7 mg/kg/24 hours divided every 4 to 6 hours as needed
Maximum dose: 10 mg/dose
Iatrogenic narcotic dependency:
Controlled studies have not been conducted. Several clinically used dosing regimens have been reported. Methadone dose must be individualized and will depend upon the previous narcotic dose and severity of opioid withdrawal. Patients who have received higher doses of narcotics will require higher methadone doses.
General guidelines:
Initial: 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours
Increase by 0.05 mg/kg/dose until withdrawal symptoms are controlled. After 24 to 48 hours, the dosing interval can be lengthened to every 12 to 24 hours. To taper dose, wean by 0.05 mg/kg/day. If withdrawal symptoms recur, taper at a slower rate.
What other drugs will affect methadone?
Do not use methadone with any other narcotic pain medications, sedatives, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, or other medicines that can make you sleepy or slow your breathing. Dangerous side effects may result.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
a diuretic (water pill);
antibiotics such as azithromycin (Zithromax), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E.E.S., EryPed, Ery-Tab, Erythrocin, Pediazole), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), metronidazole (Flagyl) or voriconazole (Vfend);
heart or blood pressure medication such as diltiazem (Cardizem, Cartia, Dilacor, Tiazac) or verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan);
HIV medicines such as abacavir (Ziagen), didanosine (Videx), efavirenz (Atripla, Sustiva), nelfinavir (Viracept), nevirapine (Viramune), ritonavir (Kaletra, Norvir), stavudine (Zerit), or zidovudine (Retrovir);
an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate);
other narcotic medications such as pentazocine (Talwin), nalbuphine (Nubain), buprenorphine (Subutex), or butorphanol (Stadol);
rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane, Rifater); or
seizure medication such as phenobarbital (Solfoton) or phenytoin (Dilantin).
This list is not complete and there are many other drugs that can interact with Methadone. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.

LOL Cool J's ten tips for DJs
London's biggest underground sensation and the self-proclaimed 'voice of a generation' gives us an exclusive peek into his #champagnelifestyle
Sup! If you ain't heard of me, it's ya man LOL Cool J. And if ya have, sorry lol. So Time Out comes to me and is like 'we want you to put pen to paper and do us a column and that'. So I was like 'fair play, but I ain't used pen and paper since school lol and I ain't plannin on startin' again now'. So I typed it here for you. Just some tips and titbits. #tips #titbits #titties.
1. Lock up ya daughters
So my first tip is for the laydeez. When the LOL Cool J is around, lock up ya daughters and lock up yaselves. I'm a real laydeez man and I don't care who knows it. #lockedup #prisonbreak #sickTV
2. Play your decks like you play your gyal
Now onto the DJ stuff. 1st rule of being a successful DJ is that you gotta play your decks like you play your gyal dems – with care and love – but always knowing that the next big tune is just around the corner. So keep your finger on the pulse when it's not in the p%$$*e. #decks #doubledecker #242 #dalston #goodladsgotoheavenbadladscometodalston
3. You ain't nobody until your somebody
A bit of advice that I got from Diplo... well, I learned from Diplo. Once passed him a little mix CD I'd done and he thought I was passing him a drinks coaster. And I thought to myself, LOL, you ain't nobody until your somebody, and that's what's got me this far. #dreams #cancometrue #gabrielle #diplo #massiveG
4. Djing is an art
Any budding DJs out there, there is more to it than spinning decks, cashing checks and fingering skets. It's an art. #listenandlearn
5. Fuck Twitter
There's shit loads to be said for your social media marketing. Fuck Twitter, that's just a load of chumps showing off who they know. As you all know though, I update my Facebook on the regs and since landing here in the big smoke from Southampton and taking things a bit more seriously, it's got me two pub DJ sets and a blowie from someone that thought I used to be in Grange Hill. #socialmedia #marketing #business
6. Keep your eyes on the prize
Everyone in this town is striving for something – new crib, new job, new hoe or new homie (if you're that way inclined lol). Me, I'm always striving for the same thing: wanna be the next Tim Westwood or Vanilla Ice. So I guess this nugget of love is to keep your eyes on the prize. #eyes #prize #winner #olympicgames
7. Do the shitty jobs and the good ones will come
You've gotta speculate to accumulate. Much like when you're up in the club and all the gyal dems are turning their noses up at you. Keep pushing for the top notch taff and they'll come. May not be at 11pm, may not be at 2am. But sooner or later, they'll be all over the LOL CJ like a tramps jacket. Basically do the shitty jobs, graft, and the good ones will come. #tramps #homeless #charity #donate #topnotchtaff
8. Make sure they have your rider ready
When you're a DJ you travel all the time. I've been across London so many times my Tupac Oyster card wallet has more holes in it than he did. So make sure they have your rider ready and waiting for you. Mine is as follows...
LOL Cool J rider:
1 x can of Lynx Africa
20 x blue WKDs (for the laydeez)
10 x magnum jonnies, xtra-large. lol
1 x box of cocktail sausages
2 x salt and vinegar Discos
No delivery. No play.
9. Keep yourself fresh all day
Always, I repeat, ALWAYS keep your fishing tackle on you. I mean, you never know when you might need it. We're talking your Lynx, your Burbs Brit, your VO5 stylin' wax (your jonnys ;-P ) and some chewie. Keep yourself fresh all day. Erryday. #lynx #bigcats #zoo #favouritemagazine. Gotta remember where you came from too. I'm a Southie boy at heart and will always remember that. And my fans have got me where I am today so big up to my crew dems. #LOLCJcrew #CoolJcrew #loveforthecoolj
10. Remember it's about poppin' bottles and livin' it up
And finally, the first rule of being a baller like me is partyin' all night and sleeping all day. Apart from when you're at work. You've gotta remember it's about poppin' bottles and livin' it up. This is how I roll. #roll #sausageroll #sausagefest #lads #ladsonthetown #CHAMPAGNELIFESTYLE
Oh, one more thing… for any laydeez or DJ managers interested lol, you can get me on firstname.lastname@example.com. You gotta get yourself connected #carphonewarehouse #shamelesspromotion

Question: From Carmichael, California, USA:
Our seven year old has begun second grade at a new school which does not have a nurse on-site at the school. The school district's rules state that only an RN or LVN is permitted to inject emergency glucagon in case my son becomes unconscious. Their suggestion is that they use the gel as a substitute, and then telephone 911. Do you recommend this? If not, please explain why.
This is probably okay, but I believe that all of us need to continue "the glucagon fight." (See a previous answer.) The gel is safe to use as long as there is no seizure activity. However, it will take longer than glucagon. I have also heard from several parents that because of good Samaritan laws, willing lay people can be designated to administer glucagon if need be.
The good news is that with careful blood glucose monitoring, and attention to early warning signals of hypoglycemia, this should be a non-issue. I think that the use of glucagon in this day and age is much more rare than previously, but it is still important that it be available to use in selected circumstances.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana is formally fighting against a Ville Platte ordinance that it says "prohibits foot traffic on all public streets, highways, roads, alleys, parks, places of amusement and entertainment, places and buildings, vacant lots and other
unsupervised places throughout all of Ville Platte" after 10 p.m. on weeknights.
According to the lawsuit, the ordinance was enacted in February in response to a spike in car burglaries throughout the Evangeline Parish town.
The "walking curfew" is in effect between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, the lawsuit states.
Originally, the law was set to expire after 60 days, but the council has approved three extensions on the curfew since its passage. The current extension is set to expire next week. The Advocate reports that the council recently voted against extending it for another six months.
"The people of Ville Platte have been forced to remain indoors in violation of their rights to pursue their activities," ACLU of Louisiana Executive Director Marjorie R. Esman says. "This law makes criminals out of Ville Plate residents who simply want to walk their dogs, go around the corner to visit a neighbor, or walk to a nearby store to buy needed supplies. Ville Platte has wrongly detained scores of people simply for walking to their destinations. Punishing people for relying on their feet rather than a car for transportation makes no sense and has a disproportionate impact on those who can afford it the least."
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Ville Platte resident and Evangeline Parish NAACP president Arthur Sampson, claims that the city of Ville Platte has refused to provide a copy of the ordinance to Sampson, despite repeated requests for a copy from both Sampson and his attorney.
"Not only has the city refused to provide plaintiff a copy of the curfew ordinance, the city has responded to plaintiff's requests by providing copies of other ordinances and misrepresenting those ordinances to be the curfew ordinance, when they were actually ordinances pertaining to
reflective clothing and restrictions on open alcoholic beverage containers," the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also claims that the night after the law was enacted, Ville Platte Mayor Jennifer Vidrine reportedly patrolled the streets in a police car with lights flashing.
Ville Platte Police Chief Neal Lartigue, one of seven city officials named as defendants in the lawsuit, tells The Advocate he supports the ordinance, which he says was enacted "for public safety."
Read the lawsuit here .DEC 4 This post on Philebrity, an arty Philadelphia blog, previews the lecture Bobby Jindal gave last night in the City of Brotherly Love. Sadly, not a lot of love headed Bobby's way in this post, which indicates a level of disdain for our Guv generally limited to residents of our lovely state.
DEC 4 The NOLA Defender blog goes old-school next year, this post tells us. The blog, which features news and extensive arts coverage, will publish free print versions quarterly, the story says. In a business that seems to be heading away from the printed version, it is nice to see that going the other way for a change.
DEC 4 There's another story on state employee abuse of public credit cards in the news, and blogger CB Forgotston has the solution: get rid of them. We don't need them; it's more work without them to accomplish what you need to accomplish, but what's wrong with that, CB wants to know. The legislature needs to pass a law forbidding the things, he says.
DEC 4 Here's one of two recent posts on the Lens about spending at two charter school operations in New Orleans. This one is about training for less than 200 KIPP employees in Vegas -- which cost nearly $120,000. That's $120,000, with six figures. The other operation was the Friends of King schools, which sent the staff, including eight of nine board members, to a retreat at the beach. That cost $70,000. So far, the Lens is the only media covering this. One wonders if that would be the case if this level of spending had happened in a public school operation.
DEC 4 In the effort to lay blame for our disappearing coast, a board charged with protecting our coast voted to sue the US Army Corps of Engineers Tuesday, this story on NOLA.com says. One suit will seek to force the corps to pay for damage caused by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet project, and the other will seek to force the corps to pay for a levee system in Algiers on the West Bank. Interesting.
DEC 4 Thanks to blogger Robert Mann's Facebook page, we know about this story in the Washington Blade, which says that the Louisiana National Guard has decided to process same-sex partner benefits. The story was posted Tuesday, following an interview with a guard chief by the Blade. That same day, the Advertiser ran this story, which said Louisiana is still a hold-out on same sex benefits. So which story is correct?
DEC 4 One Alabama fan shot another dead, this WWL story tells us, because she didn't feel the other fan was upset enough about Alabama's loss to Auburn. The women were at a party, and the dead lady, mom to three children, was joking with other party-goers about the loss, which didn't sit well with the shooter, the story says. Police think alcohol might have been a factor. Ya think?

I Hate Guys Who Hit Women
An Angry Little Girl
We are driving down the road, talking happily, my 2 kids in the back, Mr. Glow is driving. We're on a business errand in one of the towns I lived in growing up. After a little talk, we are driving to one of the two houses I lived in. I can barely remember it. I was nine years old. We find it, and I feel emptier somehow. The house is there, and I know it, but it was never my home. So we're looking for the other one. It was out in the middle of nowhere, and I can't remember. I have vague notions of the bricks on the neighbor's patio and of the deep ruts in the road that lead from my house to the field where we planted our garden that year.
I am remembering my step-brother that year. he was sixteen and I was ten, and he was the coolest thing ever. I adored him. I remember that my step-dad used to raise dogs, and I can remember the noise, the smell, puppy kisses on top of puppy kisses. I remember that there was a drought that year, and that we carried 5 gallon buckets of water down every day to water the garden. I remember that I was angry that my step-brother was trusted to cut the okra with a knife, and I was not. I remember how hot it was, and my new perm, and begging to wear makeup. I remember the time when my mama cut her hand on that okra knife, and went up the hill to bandage it, and the big snake that was in the garden, and how my step-brother showed an amazingly cool head and got us out of there unharmed.
It was a good summer in my head.
Somehow I have blocked out the horror that was my childhood.
I don't mean that I can't remember it, because the vivid details spring to mind with ease. But I have tried to pass it off as nothing because I couldn't stand to see the horror on people's faces.
So I'm telling Mr. Glow stories about this house, and this step-father (one of five), and the good ones are making us laugh, and then I'm telling stories about my father and step-father - how my daddy used to carry a gun to Mama's house, just in case. I didn't know it then, but have been told later...and that this step-father was afraid of my father, and that may have saved the life of my mama and me.
I remember when we lived downtown, and the time when the step and my mom were fighting so loudly that we could hear them from the car. I didn't want Daddy to know, told him all was well. I went back in, and tried to help my mom. She'd tried to get to the phone to call the police, and he jerked the cord out of the wall and started choking her with it. My nine-year-old body hurtled through the air to land on him, biting, clawing kicking...I knew he wouldn't hurt me because he'd been threatened by my father. He'd draw his hand back, and I'd remind him of Daddy.
That night, he had nearly broken her arm, blacked both her eyes, tried to choke her with the phone cord and then his hands. I ran outside at the last, yelling that I was calling the police, trying to draw him off of her to chase me. I ran out in the road, in front of a car...and it was my father, having been circling the block the whole time.
I'm sobbing hysterically, finally get to the neighbor's to call the police. Able to call my aunt, to get him to leave. Mama's alive, and will live. My job is done.
How many times did this happen with him and the others? No idea.
I know that by the time I was ten, I was sneaking into Mama's closet and keeping a bag of necessities hidden in my closet, so that if we had to leave in the night, we'd have clothing, shoes and a blanket. I stole money from her purse to keep in that bag too, so we'd have the gas to get somewehre, or the money for a hotel if need be.
I never rested easy, always on tenterhooks, always afraid of what would happen next. Afraid of every little noise in the night - was that just walking around, or was "it" starting again? When was the right moment to show myself? You had to time these things just right, sometimes they'd settle down on their own, and I would get in trouble if I jumped in. So I needed to be damn sure it was life or death before I added my presence to the altercation. and God forbid I call the police. That was embarrassing to my mom. She hated that. So I needed to be sure he was 1. actually attempting to kill her at that moment, and 2.that he wasn't going to stop by me yelling or throwing things, or picking up the phone.
I have wondered, since that day a few weeks ago - how my mother could have raised me in that situation. Forgetting for a moment the blind stupidity that she showed by going back time after time to men who tried their hardest to kill her - how could she take her daughter into that? How could my father, my beautiful, wonderful father - who always made sure I had a new book or some kind of dollar store toy to take back every week, just to remind me that he loved me and would be back for me on Friday...how could he have left me there? I am a mother, and there is no way in Hell that I would let my kids stay in that if there was an alternative. How could two parents who loved their daughter allow it to o on? Did they think I was really that resilient - that I could just cowboy up and move on? I guess I did. But it has caused lifelong scarring that I am only just beginning to uncover. We never found the house. I don't know if it burned or if my memory is just faulty, and I couldn't stop crying. I don't know why, but it was like the floodgates opened. I didn't realize that I was so affected by these memories...I am just realizing that that angry, scared little girl still lives inside me, wishing for those happy memories to be the only ones, wishing she was whole again.
Mama died when I was sixteen - of colorectal cancer. She was married to a man who was not physically abusive. He just stole the pain pills that made living with cancer a bearable thing. By then, I was so used to covering things up that I didn't even notice. I tried my hardest to blend in, tried to not cause a stir, because I wanted people to like me. I haven't really even allowed myself to think of this as something big. The cancer that took my mother was dreadful, but everyone who praised me for being "so mature" had no idea. I had already lost my mother. Nearly every night from the time when I was six to when I was fourteen. Compared to the violence of those years, cancer was an easy killer.

Thanks, whiteangle. It's a part of my past, but not something I think about often. Every experience we have colors who we are, and who we will become. Life is amazing in that we are equipped to deal with just about anything. As I said...the worst summer of my life, I remember fondly. It's a trick, learning to concentrate on the best things about a situation. And even perhaps thrive a little. :)
im very sory for your pain,my live has bein full of abuse..but i let god guide me......my thoughts are with you hun.....
*hugs Dest* I should come with a warning label, I guess. ;)
NDD - and mine was nowhere near as bad as yours was, my friend. At least you had courage. It's still something I lack, but I'm getting better. Thank you. **hugs** -
Sadly, when left in God's hands very little evil is punished in this life. These subhumans must be neutralized by any means necessary. There are many means to that end; the authorities (although they are slow to intervene), family, friends, woman's support groups, even strangers in the street will sometimes intercede but in the end it falls to the victim of abuse to refuse to be a victim any longer. Abusers are typically cowards and when faced with determined opposition they will often run. On the other hand risking one's life to stand up to a creature like this is not always the best choice. As you intimated Glow, planning an escape and leaving no trace of your whereabouts may be the best course.
You have my sympathy Glow as does every victim of abuse. I'm sorry you had to endure such a horrific childhood. -
i know its ridiculous! one day they will know what it feels like though. god spares no evil !
i am speechless, i wish i could type my sisters story but i couldn't bear to write it again. going over and over it hurts me so much. she is still alive. but the guy who nearly killed her roams the streets and tries to add me on facebook like nothing has happened
I guess that's what frustrates me, Tasmin...I know what "the worst" I have felt is. And nothing in my adult life can compare to my childhood. But then even when I was in the situation, I knew that I had a mother and father who loved me. And that love made all the difference. I have had some awful times, and awful memories, but Lennon and McCartney said it best, "All you need is love" I have always known that my life wasn't "so bad" because I had love. In my adult life, it's been the absence of love (real or imagined) that has made such a bleak landscape.
I know that bad things can be the cause of depression but I also think they can be the driving force to enjoy your life the best you can.
Some memories are almost unbearable yet we have no choice but keep them with us.
Your story is tragically sad but it was nothing you did wrong and there was nothing more you could have done to change things.
All you can do for yourself and your mums memory is to live as happily as possible now.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Patient Stories
Tom Ritchie
Throughout his retirement, Tom Ritchie of Metter exercised on a regular basis and managed to maintain a sensible diet, allowing him to lose 20 pounds along the way. Even though he seemed like the picture of health, Tom didn't know that his life would take a dramatic turn for the worse.
One afternoon, while working on the roof of his barn, Tom broke out in a sweat that soaked him from head to toe. All alone and having a difficult time breathing, Tom was able to call 911. He remembered that his mother-in-law had mentioned a new doctor coming to East Georgia Regional, so he asked EMS to take him to Statesboro. Upon arrival at East Georgia Regional Medical Center, Tom was met by Dr. Christopher Leggett, the hospital's new interventional cardiologist.
Results from Tom's exam showed a 99.9% blockage in an artery known as "the widow maker". Dr. Leggett immediately transferred Tom to the hospital's state-of-the-art cath lab, where Dr. Leggett inserted a stent and opened Tom's blocked artery.
Without access to an interventional cardiologist like Dr. Leggett, and a hospital like East Georgia Regional Medical Center, Tom would have been taken to a facility some 50 miles away - a long time to wait in such an emergency. Today, Tom Ritchie is back to leading a healthy and active life, has finished the roof on his barn, and realizes that heart disease can happen to anyone.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in the United States. At East Georgia Regional, we provide comprehensive, technologically advanced heart care delivered by knowledgeable, experienced cardiac professionals. Our heart care specialists offer state-of-the-art offer a full spectrum of heart care, from diagnosis and emergency intervention to the latest treatments, preventive education and rehabilitation.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- With a handshake as firm as a wrench, Danica Patrick greets a guest, then quickly takes a seat on the couch in her 18th-floor hotel suite.
The windows look south upon the ocean meeting a sun-splashed beach, but Patrick doesn't give a glance. Now that she has reached the pinnacle of her sport in popularity, she's often too busy to enjoy the view.
Patrick's always going 200 mph, and it's by choice. This year she added 13 Nationwide dates to her IndyCar schedule, and she concludes her rookie NASCAR season this weekend an hour south of South Beach at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The results, she concedes, have left her crying on a few friendly shoulders. Her average Nationwide finish has been 29th. She has yet to crack the top 20 and in the past four races settled for 36th, 30th, 27th and 32nd.
"I give myself As and Fs all the time," Patrick says. "I'm feeling comfortable in the car now. Just the simple things of how to start the car, all the fans, different things -- that's so much less overwhelming to me than it was in the first couple of months. This race stretch has been good to get comfortable. Unfortunately we haven't had the results."
The poor showings have weighed on Patrick on and off the track.
"Usually it's more like sadness and frustration that comes out in the form of crying on a shoulder," she says. "It's hard. I want to do well. I want to impress people. I want to show I can do it."
Patrick denies she's stretched too thin, and rejects the idea she should have honed her stock-car skills in lower series than Nationwide.
"I don't think I bit off more than I can chew at all," she says. "Nationwide was where I wanted to go and where everyone recommended I go as well. Drivers told me to do it."
Despite a series of disappointing finishes, business remains brisk. Patrick continues to take advantage of her popularity with lucrative endorsement deals and also finds time for community service. She conducted a series of interviews Wednesday to promote awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, encouraging people to get screened for the illness via the website DRIVE4COPD.com.
Patrick says her expanded racing schedule gives her an expanded audience.
"I'm racing more, so I'm in the news every weekend," she says. "You're on TV more. There has been more interest, and more opportunities. It has helped with the awareness of my brand."
Patrick will move her base of operations from the oceanfront suite on bustling South Beach to a tour bus in sleepy Homestead for NASCAR's final weekend of the year.
She says she's comfortable in either setting.
"I fit in kind of anywhere," says Patrick, who grew up in Roscoe, Ill. "I really enjoy cooking and playing card games and board games. That's small-town. But I love getting dressed up. I love going to an amazing restaurant and eating some great food and drinking some wonderful wine and being kind of on the scene. I think it's good to have both."
On her last visit to Homestead-Miami Speedway seven weeks ago, Patrick took second place in the IndyCar race. She'll try to finish her rookie NASCAR year on a positive note with a more aggressive approach developed after a few months of rubbing fenders.
