This has GOT to stop
According to this story on the website of LA's CBS affiliate:
Daniel Crowson, whose face was scraped and bruised, told reporters he lost an eye when he and a friend were set upon by as many as 10 UCLA fans simply they were "convenient" and "had the opposing colors on."
"There certainly was no instigation," the Torrance man said.
Crowson said he was taking punches from as many as 10 attackers, then "out of nowhere, I just remember seeing a flash of a bottle come across my face."
A cut to an eyeball took more than five hours to repair in surgery at Kaiser Permanente in Harbor City, he said.
His wife also recounted seeing her husband's injuries. "I see my husband come around the front of the car, covered in blood and just adrenaline-pumped, and screaming and saying, 'They hit me with a bottle, they hit me with a bottle,'" she said. "The glass that hit his eye went through every layer of eye, severing it all, all the way to the jelly."
Folks, I'm so appalled by this, I don't know where to begin. It's just a goddamn football game! And somebody lost an eye over it?!
Laugh or mock me if you want for lumping them together, but this sort of story is exactly why I rail against obscene taunts and the throwing of things - yes, even if it's just an empty cup - at opposing fans at ANY college football game in America: because, when a mob mentality takes over, verbal taunts can often lead to physical altercation. Mix in alcohol and things can get even worse.
The article ended by stating:
Anyone who saw the attack was asked to call Pasadena police at (626) 744-7113.
I'm a little baffled by that. I've been to the Rose Bowl many times and, the way things are set up, if it's just outside the stadium before the game, one would think somebody had to have witnessed this disgusting crime. There had to have been thousands of people nearby. If somebody did see this and didn't step forward immediately, shame on them. In my opinion, they are just as guility.
As college football fans we all need to take responsibility - not simply by not partaking in asshole behavior ourselves - but by doing everything in our power to report or stop it when we see it happening. This has go to stop. Now.
ED. NOTE: If any of our West Coast readers hear of more information about this or an arrest in the case, please let us now.

Thanks, Anon. Appreciate it. It's something I feel very strongly about. I was so saddened to hear about that. It could have been any of us at any game just cheering our team on.

i believe it was reggie mcneal. they wouldn't let him enter the rose bowl because the game was over and he said "you know who i am? i'm f***ing reggie mcneal, i play for the bengals!"

Ive attended the UCLA-USC game for 25 of the last 26 years. THe UCLA fans were the worst Ive seen in that timeframe. Since when did it become clever to wear a shirt that says "F*CK USC" (w/o the asterisk)as thousands of UCLA fans wore? And why were they so angry after the game, hurling f-bombs and picking fights with anyone wearing cardinal & gold? THEY WON!
John Wooden asked UCLA AD Dan Guerrero to have the UCLA fans show some class after the last home basketball game against SC. Same stuff there too. Apparently, they could care less about Wooden's opinions of their own student body.
- December 08, 2006 11:23 AM
Total agreement. I was sickened when I read that article.
In my mind it's not WHERE it happened, it's THAT it happened. I hope there's a special ring of hell set aside for the ignorant bastards who pull this stuff at sporting events.

I was at the game, it was an odd atmosphere. Before the game it was pretty laid back, a little ribbing, but only a few drunks taking it to the next level (no real problem). I left after Booty threw that pick on the last drive (I kinda figured how the thing would turn out at that point). I was parked out on the golf course. On my way back to my car, every 30 yards or so you would be confronted by an angry drunk UCLA fan screaming at you or throwing stuff. I just kept my head down and headed for the car. It seemed like things would only get worse. The saddest thing is that UCLA and USC are in the same city and draw from the same pool of applicants. Many people get into both. They are comparable institutions just a few miles apart, no one should lose an eye over a game. If you look at sites like Bruins Nation you see a level of vitriol that is beyond the norm. I root against UCLA, but I would not wish Karl Dorrell or his players any ill will, sometimes I fear that sentiment is not shared by both sides. I hope that any fans -- Bruin or Trojan who witnessed this incident will help bring the culprits to justice -- for the sake of both schools, and all of college football.
- December 08, 2006 12:03 PM
This is just like the video that you linked to the OSU/Michigan game where they are hollering f*** Michigan and actually get into a fight in the parking lot, it is totally uncalled for, if these boys like brawling send them to the Marine Corps recruiter and lets get them over to Irag for a wake up call, of course these pussies are probably to scared to actually fight someone man to man. Lock there ass up, if this man lost an eye I would think Aggravated Assault charges are a coming for someone, and rightfully so keep up the good work Yost and Benny loving it down here in the warm South.
- December 08, 2006 12:44 PM
I wouldn't doubt that happening at the game. As Grove and Trojan78 said ucla fans are horrible. Ive been to a few games where our car was trashed with food items etc...
I don't think it has much to do with the diehard bruin fans or even alumni. I think it has to do with the bandwagon fans or ex-raider fans who now root for either SC or ucla. I'm sure it happens at SC as well, though I think since a majority of the fans park and tailgate on campus, you see less of it. You gotta remember the Rose Bowl is like a 35 minute drive from the ucla campus.
No doubt the Mich/osu rivalry is probably the most heated in CFB but you guys are in two completely different states. The SC/ucla rivalry is seperated by a mere 10 miles.
- December 08, 2006 12:51 PM
Thanks for the support Yost. I don't expect these problems when we play Michigan in the Rose Bowl. I just hope we stop our losing streak. 2006 we were 0-2 in the Rose Bowl...hopefully things will change in 2007.
I hope they catch those UCLA fans. I imagine most UCLA fans would not condone this either. A real shame.

That's a good point about USC games parking / tailgate being on campus, you see alot more supervision (cops, etc) at the Coliseium than at the Rose Bowl (LA City vs Pasadena?). I forgot to mention that during the 3rd quarter someone threw a full Miller light at me while I was sitting in my seat! It missed. I did not see who threw it, so I don't know what happened to them, but its low class to throw beers (did they smuggle the beer in just to throw it into the USC section?, why not save yourself the trouble and throw a coke or a water which you can buy inside?).
- December 08, 2006 1:12 PM
One important thing that shouldn't be overlooked is that these thugs were most likely not UCLA alumni or associated with the school.
You see, we have this problem here in LA with misplaced Raider fans. Without an NFL team to root for, they end up latching onto either USC or UCLA. It's easy too, because the Rose Bowl is near East LA, while the Coliseum is near South Central. Many of them don't even bother buying tickets. They just tailgate, get drunk, and gleefully harrass people.
If you could just give us your Lions, we could probably solve this problem.
By the way, you won't see this on January 1st. The East LA'ers around the Rose Bowl will be busy harrassing the Rose Parade watchers down the street. And, ex-Raiders with Trojan jerseys will be too tired from shooting their guns in the air on New Year's Eve.

Whoever was responsible for the beating should either serve a good several years behind bars or should pay their debt by going to Iraq for a few tours of duty
- December 08, 2006 2:42 PM
First of all, terrific post and nice job calling attention to this kind of thing. Ridiculous that you have to.
Second (since this seems like as good a place as any), can we please stop the argument, every time something like this happens, that there's no way they can actually be students/alumni of the school? Guess what? There are probably more degenerate screw-ups enrolled in colleges than there are patrolling the streets looking to sell crack.
- December 08, 2006 3:21 PM
- Reed4AU said...
Pay their debt off by serving in Iraq? As a brother of a marine I'm offended. It's his duty to be over in that hell and he's very proud of what he does as am I. It's not punishment for anything he did, it's his duty and it was his choice to enlist and to re-up. Why would you punish somebody by making them do something that thousands of service men and women did of their own free will. It seems it would be more of a punishment to our fighting men and women to send that UCLA douche over there.
On the subject of the original post. Anybody caught throwing something or fighting something should forfeit their tickets forever. No excuses!! Don't give me that I was drunk and it wasn't just me shit. I tailgate for most Auburn home games and usually a couple road games. I get drunk as a skunk, but never have fought nor thrown a damn thing. If I and freakin everyone I know can get drunk and have a fun time why can't everybody? So if your violent at any sporting game you should just get banned for life period, after a few diehard fans with season tickets lose their seats for life people will start to take notice.
- December 08, 2006 3:27 PM
This attack has been condemned on the UCLA blogs as well. This sort of behavior has no place in the sports world, or anywhere else, for that matter. The UCLA-USC rivalry is very intense, seeing as how the student bodies are drawn from the same pool, the schools are close together, and each school has it's strength (basketball, anyone?). But for it to get to the level of physical assault is absolutely not acceptable, and the parties responsible must be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Oh yeah? I've been checking BruinsNation every day since Saturday and I haven't seen a peep about it. I even emailed them to ask them why they haven't covered it.....
- December 08, 2006 4:55 PM
Why go to BruinsNation for anything? All they can say on their blog is FU*K USC over and over again. I doubt you will ever see anything support for that USC fan on that blog site. I went to the site after their stunning victory and couldn't believe all the F-bombs. Made me understand what Michigan goes through with tOSU a little better. This year does seem worse than in the past for some reason.
- December 08, 2006 5:38 PM
For all the attacking of BruinsNation for not addressing this issue, it was posted in the diaries on Wednesday and the punks who did this were universally condemned.
Whoever engages in this kind of behavior should be in prison. It is unacceptable at any level and cannot be tolerated.

I've had beer bottles thrown at me during the UCLA/Southern Cal game, and let me tell you, I would be happy to compare UCLA's fanbase to Southern Cal's. The Southern Cal alums may be rich, but much of the fan base in Southern California is markedly different. And I've seen enough SC shirts with FUCLA, Fuck UCLA, and middle fingers printed on them to know that Grover's assertion is simply intellectually dishonest.
You can't control who roots for your team, nor can you take this horrible incident and make some sort of blanket statement about fans. If you hop around the tubes, you'll see Bruin fans all condemned this outrageous attack the moment we heard about it. But again, I'll take the average Bruin fan over Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and the gang banging South Central...er...Southern Cal fans any day of the week.

Wow, being accused of racism over attacking gang members. I guess if I attack members of the Klan, I hate white people too. Racism charges, ho hum. I choose to attack people who break laws and commit acts of violence, not races. But hey, it was the easy attack. I don't expect much else from a Southern Cal fan. Nuanced thought has never been the calling card of the Trojan.
- December 09, 2006 1:57 PM
- Beban said...
I will add that UCLA's history of racial progressiveness, from Jackie Robinson and Ralph Bunche to Lew Alcindor and Rafer Johnson speaks for itself, and that your most prominent African American alum is known for nearly decapitating two innocent people.
And since my conversations with people usually end when they throw out bombs like "racist", I will simply say 13-9. Fight on.
- December 09, 2006 2:12 PM
- usctrojan78 said...
I don't think that UCLA is racist. Your connection between the predominantly african american population of south central los angeles and crime is racist. As is your supposition that all people from the community around USC are gangsters. What do you have against Ice Cube -- Didn't like Friday? A little too "urban" for you?
- December 09, 2006 3:32 PM
my understanding from everybody i know who has lived in california is that the area surrounding USC is terrible with its high crime and violence. I've been to the area around UCLA myself and it was a very nice area. Beban is not racist he is just stating the facts
- December 09, 2006 4:20 PM
- usctrojan78 said...
While the area around USC is not as nice as the area around UCLA, by naming two prominent african american music artists and equating them with crime and USC he was making an analogy. Ultimately the sad fact is that
1. USC and UCLA fans do not get along.
2. We bring out the worst in each other.
3. We as fans, and the Universities that we cheer for need to help keep our events safe. We can dissemble all we want about who are worse fans, but applying the old Spiccoli test -- if your here and I'm here dosen't that make it OUR problem. As I stated in my original post, neither Bruin nor Trojan fans should tolerate this, and any past "transgressions" does not make what happened to that poor guy OK.
- December 09, 2006 4:36 PM
but your the one who turned it racial.
- December 09, 2006 4:45 PM
Just to clarify, your post states (twice, actually) that the fan lost his eye. They eye was damaged, and repaired in surgery. It doesn't make the attack any less vicious, but I think you'll agree that accuracy is important.
- December 09, 2006 5:21 PM
- Beban said...
If you would like a summary of the South Bay Daily Breeze article (the attacked man's home newspaper), here's the link.
His eye will be damaged, but he did not, in fact, lose it.
Just clearing it up, obviously not minimizing it. It's just terrible, either way. You might want to amend your post.
- December 09, 2006 5:45 PM
and to add on to what Tuneman7 said re "basketball anyone", I seem to recall that a pretty crappy Trojan team beat the might bruins last year. Putting petty games aside, I can say that in the 20+ years that I have witnessed the USC/UCLA rivalry in various sports, it's always the same thing--loud, angry, inferiority complex Bruins vs. discretely snobby, superiority complex Trojans. Neither description is terribly great but both are fairly accurate. The difference, in my experience, is the times that Trojans have instigated a fight are few and far between. Not sure if there is a similar comparison between Michigan OSU (in this context) but it is what it is. Football is a game, nothing more, nothing less. I appreciate that the "victims" of a long losing streak have a certain degree of built up angst, but for these Bruins to do what they did (fine, these Alleged Bruins) is disgusting. I hope they are caught, spend the 20 years assisting vision-impaired people, pay for all expenses relating to the injured guy's medical expenses (plus the criminal equivalent of punitive damages) and then, after all that is done, force them to watch every game of Bruin softball.

I stand corrected -- modern medicine saved the mans eye -- and left him with reduced vision. ISU read my original posts -- they have nothing to do with race -- I am however not afraid to call someone out for using racial language or conflating location, economic status, and color with criminality. Also what did Ice Cube do wrong?
- December 09, 2006 5:54 PM

Nice talking with you.

Hey, I'm not the one convicting Ice Cube of an Imaginary crime, accuracy is important after all.

The USC-UCLA rivalry isn't the most historic rivalry in the world (that's our rivalry with OSU), but it probably is the most bitter and most violent. There have been so many brutal incidents between USC and UCLA.
- December 09, 2006 8:57 PM
Let's see, two posts about bad fan behavior, neither realated to Ohio State, and both posts make comparisons to OSU fans. Nice. You guys are like a broken record.
This behavior is disgusting, its indefensible, I don't participate in it, and I rail against when I see it. However its hard for me to come to this blog and read about this stuff happening everywhere and hearing how its the same as Columbus, or more often, unique to Buckeye fans.
When are you guys going to get off your soapbox? Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with you saying that this behavior is wrong, I'm completely behind you in that department. I just get tired of you propogating the myth that OSU is the end-all, be-all of bad behavior.
And yes, I think its a little rediculous camparing a doughnut to a beer bottle. I don't disagree that the behavior leads to the same place, but by that logic I guess I'm supposed to look at Yost as a victim the same way I'd look at someone who lost an eye as a victim. That's not going to happen. When you lose an eye, we'll talk.

WHERE in the post did it ONCE mention OSU? Uh...it didn't.
And no, I didn't compare the donut to the bottle. Again, show me where it states that.
Maybe you're just a tad touchy b/c when people bring up shitty fan behavior, the first school that comes to mind is usually Ohio State.
But somebody, maybe if OSU can get through a Saturday after a game without multiple arrests, fires, overturned cars and having to practically call out the National Guard, that perception might change.
- December 10, 2006 8:52 PM
- Yost said...
oops. "someday" not "somebody"
- December 10, 2006 8:53 PM
All I'm saying is that if you replace "empty cup" in the paragraph where you describe fan behavior that can escalate with "powdered doughnut", you're basically summarizing your post about your experience in Columbus this year.
This wouldn't bother me at all if there wasn't an implication at the time that this kind of behavior was both expected and uniquely OSU related activity. I think its fair game for you to condemn the behavior, but its the insistence that it doesn't happen in Knoxville or Morgantown or Southern Cal is what has burned me up in the past.
Ironically when OSU bloggers would say "it happens everywhere, why are you picking on us" the answer always came back "well you don't see this kind of behavior after an SC game do you?" Now we do. I hope you'll acknowledge that the next time you write a post slamming OSU fans.
That's all I'm saying.

I hear you, Anon. Point taken.
I guess my response is, I haven't been to Knoxville or Morgantown, etc. So, unlike folks who say, "It happens everywhere" based on some "friend of a friend" thing, I'm basing my accusations about C-bus on firsthand experience coupled with police/news/OSU president coverage.
Finally, I agree with you 100% INCIDENTS happen at ALL schools (yes, even my beloved Michigan). But, in the same way crime happens in all cities yet isn't the same in all cities, I believe -- at this point -- fan behavior, I'm sad to report, is worse at OSU than many other places *based on my experiences and what happened after Texas this yet, etc.*
Thanks for your comment.

What the hell are you talking about? The CBS News site said he lost it and the other link someone left here said it cut EVERY layer of his eye. Did he lose it as in it's an empty socket now? No idea. Does that change story if his eye is just a useless mass that will never be the same? Not one bit.
I don't get your point. The man's eye doesn't allow him to see the same way it did before he went to a college football game b/c he was jumped and attacked with a beer bottle.
- December 11, 2006 12:09 AM
*A cut to an eyeball took more than five hours to repair in surgery at Kaiser Permanente in Harbor City, he said.*
That's what the article says. The newspaper article from his hometown says the same thing. Either they repaired an eyeball in order to put it into a shot glass, or you are WRONG.
Look, it doesn't change the horrific nature of the crime, but you're either interested in getting it right or your not. If "close enough" is good enough for you, it just tells me I have to verify every story I get from your site.
I'm not debating this to be a dick. I'm debating it because I want you guys to get it right.

I know this happened over a year ago but I have something I would like to share. This happend to MY brother.
To the person that posted the crappy unfeeling comment about "if it's not on utube..." - i am here to say - it did happen.
It is a shame that in a stadium with thousands of people, not a single witness came forward - IN ALL THIS TIME!
No charges can be filed - because they have no idea who the attackers were, and not a single person witnessed the attack..
Our entire family is still recovering. My brother is slowly putting his life back together but this was a "random act of violence" that never should have happened.
Differences and rivalry within sports is what makes it fun... but - there are limits.

South Carolina's immigration law, considered among the nation's toughest before the U.S. Supreme Court tossed out much of the Arizona law upon which it was modeled, is going back before a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel, who blocked most of the South Carolina law from taking effect last December, holds a hearing Tuesday in Charleston.
The Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that much of the Arizona law was unconstitutional, tossing out provisions making it a state crime not to carry immigration papers and for illegal immigrants to transport or house themselves. South Carolina's law had similar provisions.
But Gergel also blocked a section of the South Carolina law allowing police to check the immigration status of those they pull over if officers suspect they are in the country illegally. The Supreme Court let a similar provision in the Arizona law stand.
Gergel said in court papers filed last summer that his order blocking the South Carolina law's enforcement needs to be revised in the wake of the high court decision.
Attorneys for the federal government and the American Civil Liberties Union sued last December challenging the constitutionality of South Carolina's law.
Other sections of the law took effect, among them the requirement that businesses check the legal status of new employees through a federal system.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, representing the state, had asked that the entire law be allowed to go into effect Jan. 1 while the lawsuit went forward. But Gergel turned down that request.
Officers would not be able to check the immigration status of those they stop until Gergel's order was changed, regardless of how the Supreme court ruled, Wilson wrote in a June letter to Public Safety Director Leroy Smith.

HIV Transmission Network Metastudy Project: An Archive of Data From Eight Network Studies, 1988--2001 (ICPSR 22140)
Published: Aug 9, 2011
Principal Investigator(s):
Martina Morris, University of Washington. Center for AIDS Research; Richard Rothenberg, Emory University. Rollins School of Public Health
Version V1
The purpose of this project was to establish a collection of datasets that could be used (1) to analyze the influence of partnership networks on the transmission of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, and (2) to examine the influence of study design on estimation of network properties and impacts. Eight studies contributed datasets to the collection.
They include:
- Colorado Springs Project 90, 1988-1992
- Bushwick [Brooklyn, NY] Social Factors and HIV Risk (SFHR) Study, 1991-1993
- Atlanta Urban Networks Project, 1996-1999
- Flagstaff Rural Network Study, 1996-1998
- Atlanta Antiretroviral Adherence Study, 1998-2001
- Houston Risk Networks Study, 1997-1998
- Baltimore SHIELD (Self-Help in Eliminating Life-Threatening Diseases), 1997-1999
- Manitoba Chlamydia Study, 1997-1998
Each study contains information on sexual, needle sharing, and/or social networks. Each dataset was harmonized to permit comparative analysis. Almost all of the studies were research projects funded by federal agency sources (e.g., United States Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health); one was funded by Canadian sources. These studies, all closed for further enrollment, provide a range of designs and study types as well as a range of transmitted diseases. This allows researchers to investigate the relative effect of personal behavior and network connections on the dynamics of disease transmission, and to explore the impact of sampling design on estimation of network properties. Respondents were asked questions about different test results such as HIV, chlamydia, syphilis and hepatitis. Demographic variables include race, ethnicity, marital status, age, and gender.

Roof leakage, mold and fungus growth accelerate drastic waterproofing solutions, prominent amongst which is roof repair. Nothing is more irritating than water marks on ceiling or pools of water on interior floors. Damaged roof is a major problem as it promotes mildew and mold growth in wet crannies and nooks, even causing health problems and creating unhealthy domestic environment.
Causes of roof repair are not unusual and Causes of Roof Repair Allison IA 50602 they happen to any house for several reasons. Irrespective of the type of roofing material used, damage is inevitable. The best idea is to locate the issue while it is still manageable and small. Some of the major causes of roof repair are extreme weather conditions, which promote water seepage causing serious interior damage.
Other Prominent Reasons
Besides weather, other prominent causes for roof repair include wind, corrosion Allison IA 50602 and wear and tear. Normal wear and tear accelerates the process of roof damage. Roof traffic by small animals and birds, falling objects from trees or those blown by wind lead to early deterioration of roof materials.
High speed hurricanes or storms lift roofing materials from anchors. Few roofing materials are highly prone to corrosion, especially in regions where there are projections such as chimneys and vents, Roof Shingles - How to Eliminate Shiners! Allison IA 50602 valleys and flashings. Where there is corrosion, there is bound to have roof damage.

Three weeks ago, my 25-year-old nephew Jared took his dog Coco for a walk. They found his frozen body at noon the next day. Jared suffered from schizophrenia.
I had heard many stories of Jared's troubles over the years, troubles that first surfaced with the onset of puberty.
One year, Jared didn't eat for five weeks. He thought he could get his energy from the sun. It almost killed him. Another time, he took to eating only carrots. He ate so many carrots that he turned orange, and his parents cut him off.
Jared had to have his own refrigerator; his food could not mingle with anybody else's food.
"Why?" I asked his father.
"He's trying to cure himself," answered Ryan, shrugging his shoulders.
I was concerned that Jared might be dangerous, but he was only a danger to himself. In fact, the vast majority of people with schizophrenia withdraw from society and are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators.
People with schizophrenia can have hallucinations, hearing voices in their head that comment on their thoughts and actions. These voices could be having conversations with other imaginary or hallucinatory voices.
They may have bizarre delusions, often paranoid in nature. Someone's out to get them. Someone or something is putting thoughts in their head, or removing them. Their thinking can be completely disorganized. Socially, they are understandably inept and behave inappropriately. They retreat from social activities and become isolated.
Watching pictures roll by on a screen as his sister Sarah gave his eulogy, I could see the change in Jared. He was a typical happy young boy, frolicking with his younger brother, who obviously idolized him as younger brothers do. The two boys would be flexing their muscles in bodybuilder poses, or bouncing up and down on a trampoline.
As the photos showed Jared getting older, the bright shiny eyes suddenly became vacant. I noticed, from the beginning of the picture show, that Sarah, several years older than Jared, always had a protective arm around him, more so than her youngest brother Daran, as if she somehow knew, from some intuition, that this one needed more protecting, more care.
Jared and Ryan were going to walk the dog together three weeks ago.
"Why don't I walk the dog now, and you can walk him later?" Jared asked Ryan. "That way she'll get two walks in."
Reluctant to let Jared go alone — in fact, his wife had told him not to — Ryan nonetheless let Jared go.
"He seemed so happy," Ryan explained, choking back sobs of incredible grief. "I knew he loved Coco so much, and I let him go."
Two hours later, Jared's mother returned home to a frantic Ryan. The search began. They searched all night. He was found at noon. Efforts to revive him failed.
Ryan showed me pictures of Jared's trail in the deep snow. He was heading home. You could see the many places where he had fallen, completely exhausted, and then got up to walk again. The large, roundish impressions in the snow marking where his body fell got closer and closer together as his strength weakened. The medical examiner estimated his final collapse at 8 a.m. He had been out in the 5-degree weather for 16 hours.
We'll never know what happened. Did he try to commit suicide and then change his mind? About 10 percent of schizophrenics do take their own lives. Did he get lost, following (or running from) voices or sounds that no one else could hear?
Sarah's eulogy of her brother she loved so much was incredibly moving. Everybody was crying.
"Nobody deserves this disease" were her final words.
But a lot of people have it, some 2.5 million in the U.S. Of the roughly 600,000 homeless people in this country, about one-third suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. That's more than the population of Winston-Salem, and twice the number of schizophrenics receiving treatment. People with mental illness comprise 20 percent of the prison population. We have a problem.
I asked Vickie Carpenter, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, what would be No. 1 on her wish list for mental health treatment.
"Public education in our schools, so peers can recognize when there may be a problem," she said, adding, "We need to get over the fear. We don't need to be afraid of people who are mentally ill. This (schizophrenia) is a brain disorder. It's a chemical imbalance in our bodies, just like every other disease we can get."
In the wake of Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama has promised more money for mental health care in this country through Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education). AWARE hopes to spend $50 million to train 5,000 mental health professionals to work with young people in schools and communities. The goal is to actively reach out to 750,000 of these unfortunate souls and refer them for treatment. There is a need to "actively reach out" because of the sense of shame and secrecy associated with mental illness.
It's terribly unfortunate that it took the tragedy at Newtown to bring the issue into focus, but at least it's on the radar screen now.
Nobody deserves this disease.

Former Hendersonville attorney Sam Neill was sentenced Thursday to six to eight years in prison for embezzling close to $2.5 million from his clients.
Former Hendersonville attorney Sam Neill was sentenced Thursday to six to eight years in prison for embezzling close to $2.5 million from his clients.
His sentence for the state embezzlement counts will run concurrently with the three-year federal sentence he received Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Asheville.
Now a twice-convicted felon, 63-year-old Neill will serve three years of his sentence in federal prisons and three to five years in state prisons before he will be eligible for release at age 69.
"I had a breakdown and committed serious transgressions," he told the court, as his son's eyes pooled with tears. "I intend to use whatever time I have left to make up for this."
Judge William Pittman ordered Neill's state punishment to run concurrently with his federal sentence.
In September, the disbarred attorney pleaded guilty to five counts of embezzling close to $2.5 million from his clients, including more than $884,000 from a trust set up to help charitable institutions care for the needy.
Pittman consolidated the first two of Neill's five embezzlement charges Thursday in Henderson County Superior Court into one count for a punishment of six to eight years.
He then combined the remaining charges into one count for a suspended sentence of a minimum six years and eight months to a maximum of seven years and 11 months, which will only be activated if Neill fails to obey the terms of his release.
The judge ordered Neill to pay the restitution he has promised to his victims and to serve 36 months supervised probation upon his release from state custody.
Neill will remain free under "electronic house arrest" between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. until U.S. marshals contact him to begin his federal sentence within four to six weeks.
"When I think about the judgments, I'm not quite sure what number of years would have been right or wrong. At the end of the day, it would just be wonderful that we actually would see the money that was intended to come to benefit the mission of Four Seasons," said Chris Comeaux, president of the hospice organization, which was promised $500,000 by Barry Clemo in his will.
"Barry Clemo devoted his life to Four Seasons," where his first two wives passed away, Comeaux told the court. Clemo's hospice family called him "Mr. Fix-it" because the dedicated volunteer was always there to fix things. But when he fixed his will to carry on his legacy of supporting the organization's mission, with 10 percent of his gift going to serve the indigent, Comeaux said Clemo didn't know his last wish would die with him.
Comeaux told the court that Clemo's gift to Four Seasons "would have provided, with compounded interest, 756 palliative care experiences to families just like his." Now, Comeauz said he hopes, but doubts, they will see the full restitution.
'Destroyed Clemo's legacy'
The Community Foundation of Henderson County was also set to benefit from the Barry Clemo Charitable Remainder Trust. Special Agent Andrew Papas, with the State Bureau of Investigation's financial crimes investigation unit, said Neill admitted to taking $884,514.71 from the trust between April 8, 2009 and Nov. 15, 2010. He promised to repay the trust $1,150,000.
"Mr. Clemo was a very humble man. He told me that his gift may not be the largest amount of money that the foundation worked with, but for him and his wife, it was the greatest gift they could ever give," said McCray Benson, president of the foundation.
The trust created funds to help animals suffering from inhumane treatment and to assist families with loved ones at their end of life.
"I can still remember how much this legacy meant to Mr. Clemo and how happy he was at this ability to help others," Benson said. "The actions of Sam Neill destroyed the Clemos' legacy."
Papas testified that he started looking into the case of missing funds in the Clemo Trust in 2011, nearly two years after Clemo passed away. Four Seasons and the Foundation had not seen a dime.
In his investigation, Neill confessed that he also took funds from other trusts and estates, Papas said, totaling $2,479,197.35 between 2000 and 2010.
"...Mr. Neill represented himself to many in our community and across North Carolina as a champion of charitable causes. His actions in stealing money from Mr. Clemo's trust made plain that nothing could be further from the truth," Benson said.
Neill's lawyer, Joseph B. Cheshire, said his client worked with each of the successors to come up with plans for restitution.
Charles Waters, handling the Irene Meinke Trust, said repayments were "not negotiated in a sense of give and take," but were offered in a "take it or leave it" deal with real estate as collateral.
He said Neill withdrew $342,000 from the Meinke Trust on Feb. 6, 2009, assigning repayment to deeds of trust to property owned by Mascral Inc.
"These deeds and trusts at the time were second and third liens on the collateral property. Those deeds of trust have since been wiped out by bankruptcy actions, so the collateral is worthless," Waters said.
Attorney Edward Harrelson, representing the Edna A. Davis Revocable Living Trust, said their restitution is tied to property that has yet to be marketed for sale. The trust was set up to benefit the Blue Ridge Humane Society, St. Jude Christian Research Hospital, Alley Cat Allies, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"I do not know if we will ever receive any real restitution from the defendant," Harrelson said. "As an attorney in Henderson County, I cannot say that I am personally angry, but I am profoundly saddened and disappointed."
Waters said this was a hard case for him and for the profession he has devoted his life to since 1968. County lawyers had escaped from a cloud of bad publicity after local lawyer Jim Toms was charged with embezzling about $1.5 million from his clients in 1995, he added.
The case of Sam Neill has also weighed heavily on his family.
"When my brother told me, I guess my first duty was to make sure that he didn't try to kill himself because he was so distraught about this," said Roy Neill, younger brother of Sam Neill.
Both brothers agreed to sell a tract of family land they now co-own that once hosted an old drive-in theater to help repay the Clemo Trust. The property is now listed with a sale price of $1.9 million. Sam Neill's half of the proceeds will benefit the trust.
"Our family wants to help how we can," Roy Neill said. "He (Sam Neill) has done a lot for people over the years. He has his faults just like everybody else, but we were not raised to be thieves. It was a shock to me when I found out that he did this."
Roy Neill said he initially thought his brother was going to tell him he had cancer when Sam Neill asked to see him two years ago.
"He had lost 60 pounds over a period of about six months," Roy Neill said, recalling his brother bursting into tears in front of him as he began to talk about the embezzlement. "It was very contrary to the way he'd lived his life."

"Clark has proven himself repeatedly as a very effective project manager for our railroad and for much larger railroads in the Lower 48," said Brooks. "I have full confidence in his ability and leadership to head the Alaska Railroad's engineering functions. Clark has the clear vision needed for this executive leadership role."
"In 40 years of railroading, I can easily say that Tom Brooks stands out as a true leader," said ARRC President and CEO Chris Aadnesen. "Not only does Tom possess the professional and technical skills required of a chief engineer, he routinely facilitates cross-departmental problem solving. The ARRC has benefited greatly from his steady, resourceful approach to management. Always an excellent role model, Tom has molded his department's senior staff to become effective leaders that are capable of carrying the load as he retires."
Brooks joined the Alaska Railroad in 1986 as the engineering office supervisor. The next year, he was named manager, civil engineering, marking the first of several promotions during a 27-year career. In 1991, Brooks became chief engineer, a title he has held ever since. In 2005, Brooks added executive duties as assistant vice president of projects and in 2010, he rose to vice president of engineering.

I think it was a good move buy both Spotify and Sony to partner up with each other. This will lead more people to purchase a Playstation and subscribe to Spotify respectively. When someone is at a store purchasing a gaming counsel and cannot decide between the XBOX ONE and PS4 they may lean more towards the PS4 because they can get all there music on it. For those that already have a PS4 they may feel more inclined to subscribe to Spotify. This article was a good read.

Jay Z doesn't give many interviews. In conversation, he often pauses mid-sentence, considers, rewinds, slices and reshapes his answer, choosing a more appropriate word or analogy that draws a finer point before revealing it to the interviewer. What's commonly assumed is a mistrust of the press may just be that unlike his work in the studio or onstage, Jay Z doesn't ultimately control the final result of an interview, and therefore treads more carefully while giving one.
Jay Z has set his sights on buying Aspiro, the Swedish parent company of two subscription streaming services, WiMP and TIDAL. The offer of 464 million Swedish krona, or $56.2 million, represents a 59.1 percent premium over yesterday's closing share price. It was announced by Aspiro early this morning and has already been accepted. Trading of Aspiro stock was up 76 percent on the news this morning, to 0.08 per share.

There is no known cure for this but there are treatments which can help relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life. See below for more details on this condition from endometriosis.org. Feel better, Kirsten!
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrial stroma and glands, which should only be located inside the uterus) is found elsewhere in the body.
It is generally acknowledged that an estimated 10% of all women during their reproductive years (from the onset of menstruation to menopause) are affected by endometriosis. This equates to 176 million women throughout the world, who have to deal with the symptoms of endometriosis during the prime years of their lives.
The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain.
The pain often correlates to the menstrual cycle, but a woman with endometriosis may also experience pain that doesn't correlate to her cycle – this is what makes this disease/condition so unpredictable and frustrating.
For many women, the pain of endometriosis is so severe and debilitating that it impacts their lives in significant ways.
Endometriosis can also cause scar tissue and adhesions to develop that can distort a woman's internal anatomy. In advanced stages, internal organs may fuse together, causing a condition known as a "frozen pelvis." This is not common, but it does happen.
It is estimated that 30-40% of women with endometriosis may not be able to have children (if you suspect you suffer from infertility, please see our section on endometriosis and infertility).

PITTSBURGH — Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's decision not to seek re-election has given whoever succeeds him an opportunity to shine a national spotlight on a city that continues to reinvent itself as a post-industrial 21st century success story, say political experts and the leading candidates to replace him.
And in heavily Democratic Pittsburgh, which hasn't elected a Republican mayor since the Great Depression, that successor is likely to be crowned in Tuesday's primary, in which former state Auditor General Jack Wagner and City Councilman Bill Peduto are badly outpacing two other Democrats, state Rep. Jake Wheatley and community activist A.J. Richardson.
"We can have the re-establishment of Pittsburgh right now, in this race, rather than waiting until someone wins" in November, said Joseph Sabino Mistick, a law professor and longtime Pittsburgh political pundit.
Ravenstahl, 33, became the youngest mayor of a major American city in September 2006 when, as a 26-year-old City Council president, he automatically succeeded Mayor Bob O'Connor, who died of brain cancer.
The "young mayor" label landed Ravenstahl interviews on CNN, CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman" and other outlets, and seemingly limitless momentum to continue transforming a cash-strapped, once-mighty industrial center into a world leader in medical and technical research.
But personal and political scandals have derailed the mayor's role in all that.
Ravenstahl divorced his high-school sweetheart — saying she didn't care for the political spotlight — yet has repeatedly been burned by its glare himself, appearing glassy-eyed in photos posted on night-life blogs and disappearing at a ski resort the weekend a deadly blizzard crippled the city in February 2010.
Ravenstahl announced he wouldn't run again in March, blaming speculation about a federal grand jury investigation into police finances and related media hound-dogging for sucking the fun out of his job and taking a toll on his family.
Since then, federal prosecutors have charged Ravenstahl's former police chief with creating, then stealing from a slush fund fed by fees the city collects when officers work off-duty security details. Now prosecutors appear to be focusing on Ravenstahl, calling his secretary and two bodyguards before a grand jury and subpoenaing records for the mayor's home improvements by a contractor whose other company has done $2.2 million worth of work for the city.
Ravenstahl denies wrongdoing and his attorney has said he's not been told the mayor is target of the investigation. But the damage has been done.
"He had everything going for him, and he blew it in a lot of different ways, personally, politically and professionally," said Jon Delano, a political analyst and reporter for KDKA-TV, the city's CBS affiliate.
But Delano and Mistick said Ravenstahl's self-ouster gives primary voters a chance to reinvigorate the city's profile.
The mayor's office has also shrunk under Ravenstahl, the political experts said, with both hoping a "bigger" mayor like David L. Lawrence, Richard Caliguiri or even Sophie Masloff will emerge.
Lawrence, for whom the city's convention center is named, was mayor from 1946 to 1959 before becoming governor. He presided over the city's post-war boom and was a visionary who positioned the region for economic redevelopment. After the steel industry bust, Caliguiri deftly managed the city's 1980s decline before dying in office as a beloved father figure and giving way — as O'Connor did to Ravenstahl — to Masloff.
The screechy-voiced Jewish grandmother drew laughs for her out-of-touch pop culture malapropisms — referring to Bruce Springsteen as "Bruce Bedspring," and the Grateful Dead as "the Dreadful Dead" — but remains the city's political matriarch at age 95.
Delano and Mistick agreed that Wagner and Peduto both have the personalities and tools to become the next strong mayor of a city clearly on the upswing.
Despite its still-hefty corporate presence — including H.J. Heinz Co., U.S. Steel and charitable foundations fueled by the fortunes of those companies and others —the city's future appears to be its "meds and eds" and tech industries. They're driven by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a pioneer in research and organ transplantation; and Carnegie Mellon University, renowned for its robotics and computer science programs and partnerships with Google Inc., among others.
But Wagner and Peduto offer huge stylistic differences in managing those resources and city government.
"Jack Wagner's approach will be steady as you go. He has the breadth and background to run city government and will be all about, 'Let's bring in good people and we'll make Pittsburgh work again,'" Delano said.
"You need to work with others, you need to work with the City Council, you also need to work and have an agenda in front of the state government and the federal government," said Wagner, 65, by far the more traditional candidate.
Peduto, 48, argues that city government isn't just broken, it is decreasingly relevant, at least in terms of the political power needed to continue transforming the city.
"It's not a top-down power structure," he said. "You need to decentralize the power."
Peduto believes in empowering community groups and making room for smaller, startup companies rather than kowtowing to the city's larger corporate entities.
"The next great chapter in Pittsburgh's history is turning that model upside down," he said. "That's what the mayor can do: change the power structure of the city."

"The Metro system represents a new era of transit service for the Twin Cities that would not have been possible without the success of our first light-rail line," said Lamb. "Supported by connections from regional bus service, Metro routes will be recognized as our primary system of transit lines."
References to "Hiawatha" and also "Route 55" have been replaced with "Metro Blue Line" in printed schedules, maps, online content and other communications materials. Replacement of signs at stations and the repainting of train cars will be completed in the months ahead during typical maintenance cycles.
All Blue Line trains will now have three cars (instead of a mix of two- and three-car trains) and will run every 10 minutes for most of the service day. This additional service capacity is possible due to 12 new light-rail vehicles that have been added to the line.
Customers have boarded light-rail trains nearly 85 million times since the line began service in mid-2004, ridership is trending almost 30 percent ahead of projections for the year 2020.
