Gross woman, go wash your ass.

Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

Employee's suit: Company used waterboarding to motivate workers

A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe.

Ellis said the exercise was a dramatization of a story in which a young man asks Socrates to become his teacher. Socrates responds by plunging the student's head underwater and telling him he will learn once his desire for knowledge is as great as his desire to breathe.

However, Ellis said Christopherson explained the exercise before Hudgens volunteered, no one held Hudgens down and Hudgens was free to get up if he was uncomfortable.

"It was meant to be a team-building exercise," Ellis said. "Everybody was . . . involved and enthusiastic."

US FDA names contaminant in Baxter's heparin

Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:27am EDT

WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators said on Wednesday they had identified a contaminant found in batches of Baxter International's (BAX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) recalled blood-thinner heparin as part of their investigation into serious reactions and deaths.

Wow!! Just wow... That is NOT safe. There is an issue of immunoresponsiveness of the heparin or the ineffectiveness of the heparin--it exacerbates clotting or whatever the symptoms were... Meaning it is NOT heparin that was injected, but thioled-heparin. Just ugly!!!

As screwed up as this state is right now, I don't think it's screwed up enough to elect him.

The detectives figured it out when they took another look at the bulletin board of baby pictures and noticed an unusually high number of redheads.

I so remember this episode... oh wait, i recall the SVU one, the fountain of youth guy that was impregnating all the teen girls and bringing them into the cult with Mrs. Haggerty.

I just feel bad for the child, I have no problem with gender reassignment, but a child will have to deal with the decisions of his/her mother...errr father for the rest of their lives... Furthermore, I think this is interesting, but bringing this into the news could effect the child, on top of an already complicated and confusing situation. (i think someone in the comments section of the article mentioned this as well)
