I always cheer for the Central, then the AL. So when the playoffs start, I'm confident there willbe central division teams to cheer for. Too bad we couldn't be leading the wildcard race instead of being so far out of it.

I was in my third or fourth recert on CPR when the instructor mentioned a student that was distraught that he had performed CPR and the person "still died". After hearing that, the instructor made certain to remind everyone if the person is alive, there is no need for CPR. We do CPR when the heart has stopped, a pretty good indicator that the person is dead. Also, the odds were so small on bringing anyone back.

Is it the loss of bodily functions that make it no fun, the understanding that the person is dead, or the stress of knowing you're the person's last chance?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 08:58 AM) So did they change the planetary definition again? I wonder what the new one is? But in the 1990s, more powerful telescopes revealed numerous bodies similar to Pluto in the neighborhood. New observations also showed that Pluto's orbit was oblong, sending it soaring well above and beyond the main plane of the solar system where Earth and the other seven planets circle the sun. That prompted some galactic grumbling from astronomers who began openly attacking Pluto's planethood. This is going to crush their tourist industry In a related report, Jason's girlfriends applied the same logic and decided he has no penis.

Lord, we don't need another mountain, There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, Enough to last till the end of time.

What a great story Go dad. Hey Dad, before thinking your all that, just think she's going to grow up to think you're an idiot

Link RAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight.After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930. The new definition of what is -- and isn't -- a planet fills a centuries-old black hole for scientists who have labored since Copernicus without one. Pluto is no stranger to controversy. In fact, it's been dogged by disputes ever since its discovery. (Watch why some think planet size doesn't matter -- 3:39)

I was hoping it was those bastards that protest at funerals.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 08:38 AM) I am guessing that things have only gotten worse since this time, but apparently over 200 people "confessed" to the Lindberg baby kidnapping. Which goes back to my earlier thought that most crimes aren't solved by brilliant police work, but by dumb luck and confessions.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 08:14 AM) No, they shouldn't. But these two had received less than most because they worked for Fox. I didn't want to make it personal to this, but doesn't it seem like reporters receive way more attention than anyone else? I wonder if he worked for the Middletown Crier, if it would be the same?

Steff, I was wondering the same thing. I can't believe at that time they had other, more promising leads. The only thing I could think of was time and money. Perhaps there are so many wackos like this they don't have the time and money to check everyone out.

Glad to hear everything is ok. Maybe you and Jim can swap storm stories . . .

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Three Mexican fishermen who survived nine months adrift in a small boat in the Pacific Ocean will now be investigated for possible links to drug trafficking, the government said on Tuesday. The three men, who said they left Mexico's Pacific coast fishing village of San Blas last November, were rescued two weeks ago more than 5,000 miles away near the Marshall Islands in the south Pacific. Their dramatic story of survival on the high seas -- staying alive by eating raw birds and fish, and drinking rain water -- has captivated Mexico. Few doubt the men, who are due back in Mexico on Friday, spent nine months lost at sea, but there are doubts over other parts of the story. All three men were first seen as national heroes but in recent days questions have arisen over why they went to sea in the first place and over two other men who died on board. "There will no doubt have to be an investigation. This case merits an investigation," Ruben Aguilar, the spokesman for President Vicente Fox, told reporters on Tuesday when asked about rumored drug connections. "There are a series of questions and the corresponding authorities will have to investigate." he said. Mexico's Pacific Coast is a drug trafficking highway and in the village of San Blas the streets are abuzz with rumors that when they began their voyage on a 25-foot (8-meter) boat, the men may not have been fishing for sharks as they claim. But the men rejected suggestions that they were involved in drug trafficking. "They are wrong because we went out to catch sharks," Jesus Vidana, one of the survivors, said in a television interview from the Marshall Islands, where they were finally returned to dry land on Tuesday. The fishermen also flatly denied suggestions that they may have eaten the bodies of the two dead men to stay alive. Continued ...

Should a reporter receive more attention than anyone else?

The mood of the board is we're done. Then an injury to Thome is veiwed as a big plus. I've given up trying to understand the average Sox fan.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Striptease send-offs at funerals may become a thing of the past in east China after five people were arrested for organizing the intimate farewells, state media reported on Wednesday. Police swooped last week after two groups of strippers gave "obscene performances" at a farmer's funeral in Donghai County, Jiangsu province, Xinhua news agency said. The disrobing served a higher purpose, the report noted. "Striptease used to be a common practice at funerals in Donghai's rural areas to allure viewers," it said. "Local villagers believe that the more people who attend the funeral, the more the dead person is honored." Wealthy families often employed two troupes of performers to attract a crowd. Two hundred showed up at last week's funeral. Five strippers were detained and local officials "issued notices concerning funeral management," Xinhua said. Now village officials must submit plans for funerals within 12 hours after a villager dies. And residents can report "funeral misdeeds" on a hotline, the report said.

Wow, not what I expected when I opened the thread.

5:15 AM and I'm working my lunch schedule already. I see a fish taco in my future. Not certain if it will be from The Oyster Bar (Voted one of the top 20 Beach Dives in America) or Dirty Al's. Anticipation . . .
