Just the thought of Rosie O' Donnell lying across a bed asking to be serviced is enough to keep me awake for the next few weeks. (although it was almost counter-balanced by the thought of Brooke Shields bent over the desk!!!)

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) *Does not apply to non profits where all employees are cheap. What some companies do not "get" is that they can attract better employees, and it isn't just by opening the checkbook a little wider. Working conditions, benefits, and treating the employees like adults will attract some excellent employees who value these things. Sometimes it is cheap or free stuff that makes the difference. Actually, I believe they are SUPPOSED to be called not-for-profits, since a good number of them do indeed make profits. MAybe thats how they make the profit?

Maybe they work for tips?????????

Smoking bans, with a side of irony A few minutes before dawn on Tuesday morning, I pulled myself out of bed, showered, put on my reporter hat (not really) and jumped in my car to head to a breakfast forum in north suburban Vernon Hills. The event, set up in a hotel conference room, offered quite the impressive spread. There were piles of bacon and ham. There was a tray filled with steaming scrambled eggs. And next to that, another one bursting with thick slices of French toast slathered in fried bananas and powdered sugar. A Jenny Craig convention, this was not. But considering that millions of Americans probably ordered the same meal at Denny's this morning, the breakfast event really wouldn't even be worth noting. If it weren't for the parties hosting it. Namely, the Lake County Health Department. And the American Heart Association. "I'm not just here this morning to eat bacon ..." a director for the heart association said with a laugh -- more at himself than the menu -- before he rolled into a discussion about the perils of puffing cigarettes. The breakfast forum was held as part of Lake County's effort to encourage more towns to pass smoking ordinances as part of the Health Department's goal to make the entire county smoke-free by the end of 2007. Eight municipalities have jumped on board so far. Now, as a non-smoker, I can certainly see the benefits of protecting our lungs and other organs from second-hand smoke. But, as a guy who also ran two miles before work this morning, I see the benefits of protecing our waistlines, too. As a result, I skipped the French toast on Tuesday. But the rest of the food tasted good. And the irony? It was delicious.

Semen 'may fuel cervical cancer' The molecule is contained in seminal fluid The growth of cervical and womb cancers may be fuelled by a hormone-like molecule in semen, a study suggests. The Medical Research Council team found that the exceptionally high levels of prostaglandin fuelled tumour growth. They told the Journal of Endocrinology and Human Reproduction that women with either cancer should ask their partners to wear condoms during sex. Cervical cancer is usually triggered by the human papilloma virus. There are about 2,800 cases each year in the UK. In 2004, the latest year for which there are figures, there were just over 1,000 deaths from the disease. It is the second most common cancer in women under 35. But scientists believe other factors are involved in causing the virus to develop into cancer. Potential treatment Prostaglandin occurs naturally in the cells which line the female reproductive organs. Its role is to regulate cell growth and direct the womb lining to either thicken or shed during the monthly menstrual cycle. But the concentration of prostaglandin in semen is 1,000 times higher. Cervical and womb (uterine) tumour cells have prostaglandin receptor molecules on their surface. The MRC team exposed cancerous tissue to prostaglandin. They found that the influx of prostaglandin in semen boosted the normal level of signalling between cells. This high volume starts new cascades of signals that eventually lead to an increase in tumour growth. The researchers say the finding may help develop a treatment which could stop prostaglandin reaching the tumour cell receptors, and therefore slow the progress of a cancer. Smear tests Dr Henry Jabbour, who led the research, added there was action women could take now. "Sexually active women who are at risk of cervical or uterine cancer should encourage their partners to wear a condom to prevent increased exposure to the prostaglandins that might make their condition worse. ''This also highlights the potential for a new therapeutic approach that will tackle both possible sources of prostaglandin - those produced naturally by women and those introduced to the body by sperm.'' And he said women with pre-cancerous cells may also be affected as it was possible those cells also had prostaglandin receptors, though more work was needed to look into that. Professor John Toy, medical director at Cancer Research UK, said: "This is an interesting piece of laboratory research but it has little relevance to women already diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK because they will already be receiving appropriate anti-cancer treatment. "The likelihood of any unprotected sex affecting the successful outcome of their treatment is considered slight. "The most important thing that women can do at this time to prevent cervical cancer from developing is to go for regular cervical smear tests." gee...i guess we CAN"T do anything right

GLASS SPOUSES CNN'S KYRA IS THE REAL CONTROL FREAK, DAD LAUGHS By JENNIFER FERMINO August 31, 2006 -- Takes one to know one. That was the amused reaction of CNN anchor Kyra Phillips' father yesterday to his daughter's accidentally broadcast bathroom banter - which included a pointed dig at her "control freak" sister-in-law. "I would think it'd be the other way around," a laughing Dan Phillips, 64, told The Post. "[Kyra's husband] John just kowtows to her all the time." He said he wasn't aware of any tension between his cable-news-star spawn and the alleged dominating daughter-in-law - but joked that Thanksgiving might be a little strained. "It's going to be interesting," said the Mobile, Ala., resident. "Absolutely!" He hadn't heard about the on-air blunder until contacted by a Post reporter - but was tickled by the story. "I'll be damned. It's like bloopers on TV," he chuckled. "She'll never live this down." Dan Phillips was talking about Kyra's wireless open mike that picked up and broadcast her conversation with a friend in the ladies' room, sending it out over the air at the same time CNN was carrying President Bush's speech from New Orleans live. Kyra said of her brother, "He's married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak." "Of course, brothers have to be, you know, protective," she told her friend. "Except for mine. I've got to be protective of him." Nothing much surprises Dan Phillips with his opinionated daughter, whom he affectionately calls the "Tasmanian Devil." "The people she works with love that crap [her outspokenness]," he said fondly. Charles Phillips, the supposedly henpecked brother, and his wife, Carrie, are "the type that would never say anything bad about anybody," said the father. Kyra Phillips, who's been married for about five years, also dished about her husband, but in a good way. "My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving, you know, no ego," gushed Phillips, totally unaware that her mike was still on. "Just a really passionate, compassionate, great, great human being." The embarrassing chat ended when someone quashed the commentary by warning the Emmy-winning "Live From . . ." host that her microphone was on and her dirty laundry was being aired. When reached at her home yesterday, the maligned sister-in-law, Carrie Phillips, said, "I don't really want to say anything." CNN blamed the broadcast booboo on a "technical malfunction with the audio board" and stressed that Phillips wasn't at fault. After the gaffe, she apologized on air, but made no further comments yesterday about the incident during her show

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - A southeast Missouri man will go to jail for breaking into his ex-wife's e-mail and sending pornographic pictures of her to her relatives. Alfred Seals, 47, of Cape Girardeau, pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor tampering with computer data, and was sentenced to 20 days in jail. Seals gained access to his wife's e-mail account without her consent, then e-mailed the woman's family a Web site link and message stating, "something nice to see," according to a probable-cause statement. The link took users to a Web site that contained several pornographic pictures Seals took of the woman when they were married. The woman immediately suspected her ex-husband and went to police. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Well..if he wanted to get back at her it was only 20 days!!!!!

i didn't see any highlights or anything but if i understand this right....after getting an 8 run lead Lilly proceeded to give up 7 in the third. When Gibbons went to pull him, Lilly refused to give him the ball and when it was taken from him Lilly threw a temper tantrum. Once in the dugout, Gibbons told Lilly to never 'show him up' on the field, Lilly started to walk away, Gibbons grabbed his arm and a punch was thrown. actually....to me it sounds like Lilly was the ass who deserved the punch in the nose.

Idiots like this really piss me off....... BARRINGTON, N.H. -- A mother and her young daughter were riding horses when they became victims of a bizarre road-rage attack. On Wednesday, the two were strolling down a road near their Barrington home. Michelle Scannel said a teen driving his truck was coming by them quickly, and she motioned him to slow down. "He jumps out of his tuck and starts digging around in the back," said Scannel. "I thought he was going to get a gun. He just looked so crazy, grabs an oar and goes after her with it." "I was scared, and I thought I was going to die," said 7-year-old Brianna. Brianna and her mother began screaming. Several people in the area heard the ruckus and ran to help. One of those people, Milton Smith, 57, tried holding the teen back. Scannel said that's when the teen grabbed a knife. "One man got stabbed three times, and he got stabbed right over his eye," said Brianna. Police came moments later and took the male juvenile into custody. Scannel said her daughter is having trouble dealing with what she witnessed. "She's having panic attacks, not sleeping that well at night; petrified that someone is going to break in," said Scannel. Police have not released information regarding what happened, and it is unknown what kind of charges the juvenile might be facing.

I think this judge has got a screw loose..... Judge: Boys can serve sentence after football season KENTON, Ohio - A judge decided two teenagers can complete their high school football seasons before they serve 60 day jail sentences for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road. Two teens were injured. Judge Gary McKinley, a retired Union County juvenile judge hearing the case in Hardin County Common Pleas Court, said he knows his decision will be criticized. "I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm going to. I see positive things about participating in football," he told Dailyn Campbell, a junior quarterback. The judge's office said he had no further comment Wednesday because of pending cases. Campbell, 16, and Jesse Howard, 17, were each sentenced Tuesday to juvenile detention, to start after the football season this fall at Kenton High School. Teens stole the decoy from a man's home and created a base to help it stand upright because it had only two legs, Hardin County Prosecutor Brad Bailey told the judge. They drove up and down the road watching as drivers swerved to avoid the decoy. Bailey said Howard didn't stop the prank. Robert Roby Jr. of Kenton swerved to avoid the decoy deer on Nov. 18, and crashed his car into a pole and fence. His neck, collar bone, arm and leg were broken, and he has undergone 10 surgeries. His passenger, Dustin Zachariah, has brain damage, Bailey said. "None of these guys will ever know what our sons have gone through," Roby's mother, Mary, wrote in a statement to the court. "If they get nothing for what they've done, they'll do something worse later. They need more than a slap on the wrist." McKinley also placed the two teens on house arrest. They must pay fines and restitution, perform community service and write a 500-word essay titled "Why I should think before I act." The judge suspended two one-year juvenile prison sentences for each boy. In July, Campbell and Howard each pleaded no contest to two counts of vehicular vandalism and juvenile charges of delinquency by possession of criminal tools and misdemeanor theft. Trials are scheduled in the fall for three other defendants. Family and friends of the injured teens did not attend Howard's sentencing, leaving the courtroom after Campbell was sentenced. "They said they would not attend this hearing as their own way of showing protest to the previous ruling," Bailey told the judge. Zachariah now has the cognitive ability of a sixth grader, said his mother, Kathy Piper. When he applied for a job two weeks ago, he couldn't do the simple math on the application test, she said. The teens' medical bills have reached $700,000 and are expected to top $1 million, Bailey said. Both Campbell and Howard apologized during their sentencing hearings. "I think every day that I hurt someone, and that hurts me inside," Howard said. hmm...just a quick look online i found that the Kenton football team was ranked 3rd in the area.....i'm not saying, i'm just saying....maybe if the team sucked..they don't get a break??? either way...dumbasses all around.
