I tried this recipe twice already, but I wasn't totally happy with it. I think it doesn't come out as thick as I expect it to. It IS very tasty, but I will either try another Bolognese recipe or try to alter this one to my tasting preferences.

After much speculation as to who Arkansas would name as their head coach, a surprising name has surfaced. Now former Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema is expected to sign a contract that will make him the new head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, according to Pat Forde at Yahoo! Sports.
The official announcement is expected sometime today, but the Razorbacks will wait until tomorrow to officially introduce Bielema as their new head coach. The move comes as a complete shock, as Arkansas was not even mentioned anywhere close to Wisconsin or Bielema in the recent weeks as their search for a head coach intensified.
However, the surprise factor will wear off in time, as the Bielema hire is a brilliant one for the university.
In this time with the Badgers, Bielema lead the school to three consecutive Rose Bowl appearances, the third of which is upcoming this January against Stanford.
The Razorbacks are looking to move away from the embarrassing end to the Bobby Petrino era that saw the school become the subject of scandalous tabloid headlines after the coach crashed his bike with his mistress — a woman who was not only an employee of the university but much younger than the senior coach.
Hiring Bielema starts to process of moving Arkansas away from that, and hopefully towards winning ways once again. The road isn't easy, but Arkansas already surprised everyone by stealing a really good coach away from a University he was seemingly happy at so the next order of business is to do something with it.

Synopsis: The two-part British miniseries Fall From Grace was set in the fifth year of WWII. To mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the invasion of France, Col. Sir Henry Ridley (James Fox) leaves an elaborate trail of false clues, not least of which is the fabrication of an entire "battle front." Swept up in the intrigue is novice British spy Lady Deirdre Seabright (Patsy Kensit), who slowly and painfully came to the realization that she would be expendable once Ridley's plan reached full fruition. ...

Southshore and gilneas wasn't orcs directly, but the forsaken are still part of the horde. Besides, wasn't it the warchiefs orders to invade gilneas in the first place?
With the stonetalon guy, it's still pretty alarming that it even happened in the first place. It got garroshs attention because it was on such a massive scale, but if there were smaller, similar incidents, im not sure they would have all gotten the same attention.
They may have been more brutal under guldan but they don't come across as evil as they do now. I find the lack of resources argument a little unconvincing considering the massive war effort all across Azeroth.

FILE - In this June 6, 1998, file photo, Victory Gallop and jockey Gary Stevens (11) edge out Real Quiet and jockey Kent Desormeaux as they cross the finish line to win the Belmont Stakes horse race at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. Desormeaux was criticized for making his move too early, and by the time Real Quiet was a furlong from the finish, Victory Gallop was making its charge at the wire to eventually take the win. As I'll Have Another prepares to attempt to win the Belmont Stakes in his quest to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and first in 34 years on Saturday, June 9, 2012, The Associated Press takes a look at some of the 19 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, but came up short in the final leg of the Triple Crown, and how the race unfolded.

PLAYERS: Lane Johnson
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Lane Johnson has his moment on the NFL Draft state with Commissioner Roger Goodell after being the 4th overall pick. Image via the Philadelphia Eagles Instagram. Eagles fans, the wait is over. There was no trading down—instead, when Oklahoma OT Lane Johnson was still available at number 4, the Philadelphia Eagles took him. The 6'6, 303 lb tackle will be an integral part of the Eagles' offensive, helping to protect Mike Vick, who at this early stage will presumably be Philadelphia's starting quarterback for the 2013 season. Johnson is an extremely athletic player–he has played both sides of the o-line as well as played quarterback and tight end in his career. Here is an excerpt from Johnson's scouting report, via The National Football Post: With rare foot quickness he is able to slide out to the corner easily to stop speed rusher's initial burst. His ability to block with base helps him to slide easily side to side to adjust to quick pass rush moves at the contact point. Although he...

Categories > Celebrities > Good Charlotte > Another Broken Day
Chapter 511 Reviews
don't want to give anything away on this chapter
Disclaimer - none of this is real - its all FICTION. I dont own Good Charlotte or Tony from mest
~ Billy's POV ~
[walking on the lonely road, the heartbreaking pain at my side
without two arms to hold me, nothing but the chain of goodbyes
I can't try to hide behind myself anymore
I can't try to reason with the pain and misfortune
so I will grab hold of forever and walk right through this open door]
I curled up in a tight ball as I heard the door close, trying to stop the tears from falling but they only fell faster. Images of Benji and me on the night I told him how I really felt kept repeating themselves over and over again in my head and the one thought that chases it is the knowledge that Benji doesn't love me and I have ruined the two most important things in my life.
My connection with Benji - and the band...Benji has always been my bestfriend no matter what was happening I could always go to him and tell him and he would always help me with it, we would always be together. weither it was blowing up the science lab together in school or just relaxing and watching movies. It was always the two of us..sometimes there would be others there, like Joel or Paul but me and Benji always had a connection cause we enjoyed doing the same things and liked mostly all the same stuff. Joel and paul are my bestfriends as well and I care about them...But Benji has always been the one I look up to, he saved me from my father and step mum when he convinced me that everything would be ok when I went and lived with him, that he'd keep me safe and protect me. which he did..no one had ever treated me like a real person, like I was worth anything until Benji. He was always there to hold me when I would cry myself to sleep, whispering in my ear that I was safe and that he wouldn't let anyone hurt me.
A choked sob fell past my lips at that last thought..He probably doesn't even remember promising me thoughs things..he's the one thats hurt me this time, it never hurt this much with the situation with my dad and step mother..I never cared about them. I learnt to numb myself of the emotional pain because I knew they never loved me and I never loved them...but I love Benji, have always loved him. He was the first person that I ever had feelings for in any sort of way. I was so stupid to think he could ever like me.
I turned over onto my back rubbing the tears from my eyes as they just kept coming, I stared up at the picture of Benji on my roof with blurry eyes. Night after night it made me smile just looking at it, now it made me sick to my stomach.
I hated Benji at that moment, hated him for making me think he would always be there for me, hated his smile, his laugh, hated his voice in the morning that I always enjoyed hearing. Hated him cause I loved him and cause he didn't love me back...I hated everything about him.
I sat up slowly, moving my legs underneath me to see if I can stand on my own. when I was finally standing on shaky legs I reached up and grabbed the picture of Benji from my roof and tore it down, ripping it into peices as I fell back onto my bed crying. Tearing at the poster till it was nothing but a pile of shredded paper on my bed. I sat on the bed staring at the remains of the picture and cried for what seemed like hours.
when I finally finished crying I swung my legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand, it took me two tries before I was finally walking into the bathroom that was attached to my bedroom. I walk in and lock the door behind me not wanting anyone to disturb me Not that anyone would care enough to come check on me. I'm nothing but a disease, a burden that people feel obligated to be with more than they actually want to.
I limp over to the cabinet on the left side of the bathroom and open up the top drawer and pull out the bottle of sleeping tablets that I take to help me sleep at night and a bottle of Jack Daniels that I keep hidden away. My legs start to give way on me as I try to make it to the toilet to sit down on the closed lid. I wipe the tears from my eyes and take a deep breath, refusing to let anymore tears fall as I open the bottle and place atleast 5 to 10 pills into my hand, and swallowing them quickly, taking a drink from the Jack Daniels. "I love you Benji" I whisper to the empty room as I drink more of the Jack Daniels, skulling it quickly.
I've drank more then half of the bottle by now but stopped taking the sleeping tablets that i'm holing in one hand and the Jack Daniels in the other. I slid off the toilet lid and lie down onto the floor, watching as the remaining pills spill onto the floor out of my reach. my eye lids becoming heavy and I sigh in relief as I feel myself falling asleep and hope that I don't wake up knowing that everything will be right when i'm no longer here to be in anybodies way.
Betrayed - Hate
My darkest fears have become a frightening truth
And the wounds are hidden so you cannot feel the pain
For I have chosen the path of misery and sorrow
And my skin will continue to wither and decay
Happiness - where are you?
Will this grief be swept away?
This madness must stop or this world I'll depart
As reality blends into horrific dreams
My departure from Earth is getting near
And as I approach death, I'll show no fear
I need you here to ease this pain
For I fear it shall never dissipate
Yet you are so far away and the blood continues to flow
I felt your warmth - I can't touch your skin
Remembering, as the knife caresses my flesh
And I summon forth suffering and despair
Yet it is something I do not wish to do
My blood absorbs the poisons
Drugged, confused - the walls enclose around me
My mind is so high - my spirit continues to fall
And the anguish recedes as life slips away
Breathless, I beckon eternal sleep
For I shall live no more to be with you
As I see your fate appear through the mist
~Benjis POV~
I pulled up outside my house in the driveway and sit in the car just staring at the front door, comtemplating if I should go in or not..I knew that everyone would of heard about what happened between me and Billy by now and I wasn't ready to face it yet, I wanted to visit Billy in the hospital and explain to him that what I did was wrong and that I didn't mean to hurt him at all. But I couldn't stand seeing him lying in that hospital bed hurt and knowing it was my fault, Its one of the reasons why I left, I just had to get away from it all and clear my head. So I rang Tony and explained to him what happened and asked to borrow his holiday house for a few weeks, I wanted to be alone but Jesse wouldn't let me leave without her.
I broke up with her two weeks ago, I just couldn't stand to be around her any longer, I never really could but I tried to be happy with her and ignore all the things I hated about her.
I never really cared for her she was just one of a long line of girls that i've had in the last six months, i've always felt like there was something missing in my life but I never really knew what. I thought I was just lonely so I got girlfriend after girlfriend trying to convince myself that each new one would be the ONE. The one I would be happy with and spend the rest of my life with, the one I would want to show off to the world and tell them how happy they make me. but none of them were, it just made me more depressed. I put my head down and look down at my hands sitting in my lap..I didn't realize I had been shaking until then. I took a deep breath and tried to control my shaking as I looked back at the house. Why was I so nervous? I've walked into the house millions of times before..But I just couldn't bring myself to get out of the car.
Over the last Few weeks i've been doing alot of thinking about how I really feel about Billy.
I never thought Billy could love somebody like me. Billy's beautiful, sweet and caring..everything i'm not. He's got alot more courage then I do, I never would of been able to do what he did and admit my feelings. I've been bestfriends with Billy since I was a teenager, we've always done everything together since the day we met at school. As I think back on it I can see all the clues pointing to the way Billy feels.
I run down the stairs jumping down three stairs at a time and then walk into the kitchen to see my twin brother Joel helping my mum with cooking dinner. I walk up to my mother and give her a kiss on the cheek .
"hey mama, is it alright if I just go over to Billys for half an hour he hasn't been at school all week and I want to see if he's ok. I'll try to be home for dinner" I say walking slowly to the back door as I speak and giving her my best puppy dogg face when I finished, silently begging her to let me go.
"ok Benji, just make sure your home for dinner. you know how angry your father gets when your not here for dinner" she says turning back to the vegtables.
"thanks mama" I turn around and almost run out the door before I feel a hand on my arm pulling me back. I turn around and look into Joels identical chocolate brown eyes.
"what Joel?" I whisper, pulling on my arm to free it from his grip but he just tightens his grip and pulls me closer.
"what do you think your doing Benji? Billy asked you not to go to his house anymore" he hisses looking me directly in my eyes and tightening his grip even harder, it'll probably leave a bruise.
I look at him defiantly and pull my arm out of his hand feircely, meeting his eyes with my own angry ones. "i'm worried about Billy and I want to go check on him. I'll be careful I promise."
"I don't want you to go Benji, you could get hurt" he whispers, I glance over at my mother to make sure she can't hear us and then back at Joel letting out a small sigh.
"I won't get hurt Joel, i'll be fine..I need to go so I can get back in time for dinner..if your worried about me getting hurt you should let me go..you know I have to be home for dinner" I take a few steps towards the door to make sure he can't grab me again, he doesn't say anything for a few seconds so I turn around and walk out the back door.
Just as I get to the side gate I feel a hand on my shoulder turning me back towards them, I know its Joel before I even turn around.
"Benji..atleast let me go with you so I know your alright" he says looking at me with sad and worried eyes. I look away from him and shake my head. "no Joel, stay here and help mama with dinner. I told you i'll be fine" He drops his hand from my shoulder and sighs sadly.
I turn around and walk out the gate and ignore his calls for me to come back, I know he watches me from our front lawn until I turn out of our street and head towards Billys place. I feel bad for not letting Joel come and as I get closer and closer to Billy's I regret my decision of making him stay home, But I couldn't let Joel come if there was a possibility of him getting hurt.
I wrap my jacket around me and look up at the dark cloud approaching. It looks like its gunna be a big storm. I put my head back down, watching my feet as I walk, only glancing up occasionally to make sure i'm going the right way. It only takes me a few more minutes until I am standing at the corner of Billy's street I can see his house from here, its a two story brick house with small rose bush out the front near the gate with a variety of other plants alongside the foot path leading up to the house with another small garden next to the front door.
I take a deep breath and continue walking until I'm standing out the front of Billys house, there a two cars in the drive way and another parked out the front so I know one of his parents are probably home. I walk up the foot path towards the door. When I knock on the door there was no answer, the door is open slightly and I could hear music playing in the house, I thought the music was just up to loud and Billy couldn't hear me knocking so I decided to let myself in and walked towards the source of the music playing upstairs, It was coming from the first room on the right.
when I walked in the first thing I noticed was a group of about 6 guys standing around a bed naked with there backs to me. I blush and turn away. Theres a woman in the far corner next to video camera that was faced towards the bed. She had straight blonde hair that went just past her shoulders and she was wearing a very short crimson red dress.
she hadn't noticed me standing at the door as she was to busy filming. The group of men standing naked around the bed were blocking my view of what or who was making the muffled screams on the bed. One of the naked men standing around the bed moved slightly to the side allowing me to see.
I took in a sharp breath and immediatly felt tears spring to my eyes as I saw Billy with his arms tied above his head, with a gag over his mouth. tears streaming down his face and eyes clentched closed as he was being brutely thrust into by another man, Benji couldn't see the mans face.
There was blood on Billys thighs and blood all over the bed below them. He felt like throwing up and running out of the room and never looking back, but he couldn't leave Billy here with these people. He contemplated if he could walk over to the bed and try to fight the guys, but they were all three times his size and there was atleast six of them. He had no chance in beating them.
He couldn't bring himself to look away, He watched silently as the man on Billy thrust one last time and moaned loudly before pulling out of Billy and rolling off him, cleaning the blood off of him with the bed sheet, he was the first to notice Benji standing in the doorway as he looked up at him. One of the other men who had been standing at the front of the bed started crawling onto the bed beside Billy who was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. "who the fuck are you?" the man who had just climbed off Billy asked, making every one in the room look at him. Billy still had his eyes clenched tight and whimpered as the man on the bed started stroking his chest.
Benji suddenly took a deep breath, realising that he had been holding his breath the entire time. He glanced quickly around the room before looking back at Billy, he couldn't open his mouth to speak and couldn't bring himself to move. He was shaking badly and felt like his legs were going to give way on him any minute. he looked over to the lady to see her smirking at Benji, the look made Benji's blood run cold.
"Billy, you never told us you had a friend coming over..we would of made arragements for him to join us had we known"she said. Benji shivered and felt like he was going to throw up.
Billy slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Benji, He eyes held such pain and confusion and another emotion Benji couldn't decipher as he looked Billy directly in the eyes. In that moment he would of done anything to see Billy's eyes fill with happiness. He wanted to walk over to the bed and pull Billy into his arms and hold him. But all he could do was keep eye contact and try to tell Billy silently he would get him out of here and help him.. he just wished he knew how. Billy closed his eyes and more tears ran down his cheeks.
The lady walked up to Benji an ran her hand down his chest, Benji flinched and pulled away from her, making her smile even more and try to touch him again. She giggled as he pulled away again "come on, you know you want to play..I see the way you look at Billy..you like him" She reached out quickly grabbing Benji's hand tightly and pulling him in towards her body, running her fingers through his hair. "I can see why Billy likes you, your gorgeous" she cupped Benji's face in her hands while her other hand was wrapped around his waist holding him to her. "yes..you would look very good in one of my movies" she ran her thumb over Benji's lips before slowly bending down to give Benji a Kiss, Benji Pushed her away feircely before she could kiss him though, a look of pure disgust coming to his face at the thought of her kissing him. He turned towards Billy to see the man on the bed lying in the same position next to Billy but this time stroking Billys thigh, the man whisper's something in Billys ear before removing Billy's gag and placing a kiss on Billys cheek. Billy whimpered before giving a small nod and turning towards Benji. "B-Benj" he had to lick his lips and take a small breath before trying again. "Benji..please, you have to leave..just go" tears slowly rolled down Billys cheeks.
Benji couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Billy..I can't leave you here....i'm sorry Billy" Benji took a step towards the bed but quickly took two steps back as he seen the lust in the guys eyes who were looking at him.
"no Benji...i'll be..ok...just leave ..I don't want you to see me like this" Billy trys to curl into a ball and hide himself but the man on the bed pushes his legs back down, not letting him move.
He couldn't leave Billy there...he looked at all the men and felt bile in his throat at the thought of what was going to happen to Billy once he left. The lady had been standing to the side away from Benji once he had pushed her away but she was now walking back over to him "I think he wants to stay Billy dear...I think he enjoys watching" Benji shot her a look of such hate it caused her smile to falter and she stopped walking towards him. "you stupid bitch..why are you doing this Billy??..what has he ever done to you?" I walked over to her and raised my hand to her, wanting so badly to hit her but I had been brought up better and knew not to hit a lady. "I'm leaving and Billy is coming with me NOW!"
"now see thats where you wrong...what was it ..Benji?? ..Billy is staying here with me and I have every right to do this to him...he's mine...and besides..he's gay so he should be enjoying this" she says smirking at Benji "if you would like to stay and join us ..then your more then welcome....or you can leave..but Billy is not going any where"
"Benji..please..just go..your just making it worse" Billy says quietly from the bed. I look over to him, he's not looking at me though he's shaking and looking down at the floor on the side of the bed as the man next to him is still watching me and stroking Billy's thigh. "i'm sorry Billy" I whisper before turning around and running out of the house, I don't stop running until I get home and collapse on Joels bed next to him in mine and his bedroom and finally let the tears fall. He pulls me into his lap and strokes my hair asking me whats wrong. I eventually stop crying and tell him everything that happened before falling asleep curled up next to him.
Billy avoided me the entire week at school, he wouldn't look at me and would always come up with excuses not to hang out with Joel, Paul and I.
I didn't blame him though, but I wanted to talk to him about what happened and get some answers. The last period on friday I got out of class 5 minutes early and decided to wait for Billy outside his classroom until he came out so I could talk to him. By the time I got to his room he was already walking out, he was looking down into his bag as I walked up to him. "Billy?" I asked quietly, He jumped and looked at me with wide eyes "just leave me alone Benji..I don't want to talk to you right now" he turns away and starts walking away from me, I follow him out into the school parking lot where its quieter and less people.
"Billy..just wait ok" I run up and walk beside him resisting the urge to reach my hand over and grab his chin and lifting his face up so his looking at me..I don't know how he'll react if I touch him so I put my hands in my pockets and continue walking with him. "Benji i'm serious ok..I don't want to talk to you anymore...I..I don't want to be friends with you anymore so please just leave me alone" I notice the tear that falls from his eye and I grab his shoulder gently making him stop walking. "Billy..your my best friend I care about you..I can't let you go back home....look..just come back to my place ok? please..I swear my parents will be fine with it and I won't try to make you talk about what happened..but I want you to kinow i'm always here for you and you can talk to me"
He hugs me suddenly, crying into my shirt. I hug him back telling him its gunna be ok and we'll get him away from his place. "what if she comes looking for me Benj..she'll hurt you and joel..your sister...I can't put you's at risk..its just better if I go back home...it's my fault it happens anyway" he whispers through sobs, I rub his back and hug him tighter "no Billy..none of this is your fault, you've done nothing wrong...I swear I won't let that bitch hurt you again...I walked out on you the first time and its been eating me up since...She won't hurt you again Billy" He starts crying again into my shoulder, I see Joel and Paul walking out of the school and I call them over, still hugging Billy and rubbing his back.
I explain to Joel that Billy is coming back to our place and his fine with it. When Billy stops crying we all go jump into Pauls car so he can give us a lift home. I sit next to Billy in the back seat and let him curl up at my side with my arm around him.
My mum was fine with Billy staying with us after I had told her Billy was living in an abusive household but thats all I had said..she didn't need to know any of the details until Billy was ready to tell her. He slept in my bed that night because he was afraid to sleep alone. He was curled up next to me with his head on my chest and his arm around me, I was stroking his hair softly listening to him breath. I slowly started to drift into sleep when I felt Billy look up at me "I love you Benji" he whispered so quietly I almost didn't hear it, I wanted to ask him if he had really said it or if I was imagining it but I had fallen asleep and had forgotten about it by the time I woke up in the morning.
~End Flashback~
I jumped suddenly as there was a knock on the car window beside me bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked over to see Joel standing there looking at me angrily, I hadn't seen him this mad at me in a long time, I slowly get out of the car and stand in front of him. I thought he was going to hit me but instead he hugs me tightly so I can't breath before relaxing and letting go of me and taking a step back.
"HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU JUST TAKE OFF BENJI? ..BILLY-YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS LYING IN HOSPITAL - ALMOST DEAD- AND YOU JUST TAKE OFF ON A FUCKING HOLIDAY WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND??" he yells suddenly. I lean against the car- slightly taken back by the change in attitude, but I deserve it I know I do. I look at him sadly and try to think of something to say. "i'm sorr-" but he doesn't let me finish before he starts yelling at me again.
"YOUR SORRY??..I'M NOT THE ONE YOU NEED TO BE APOLIGIZING TO" he begins to pace back and forth in front of me. "DO YOU KNOW BILLY'S IN THERE CRYING OVER YOU..HE'S CRIED EVERY NIGHT BENJI-EVERY NIGHT. I HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD EXPLAINATION" he stops in front of and crosses his arms over his chest looking at me expectently.
"Joel if you will listen to me for two seconds without yelling..." I take a deep breath and look my brother in the eyes. "I never wanted to hurt Billy..I know thats all my fault and i'm the one to blame...if I had of known maybe I could of spoken to Billy -"
"SPOKEN TO HIM?? BENJI YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO SPEAK TO HIM IN THE HOSPITAL..ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS TO SEE YOU" he yelled cutting me off again.
"would you just shut up Joel...do you think it was easy for me to see him in that hospital bed- " I try to explain to him calmly but he cuts me off again
"Benji it wasn't easy on any of us..especially since we also had to pick up the peices of your mess when you left" he says quietly shaking his head. "Benji..his in his room right now..I don't know if its a smart idea for him to see you right now but you owe him an apoligy" he gives me another hug. "its good your home though, I missed you" he whispers in my ear "I missed you to Joel..and I really am sorry" he nods and lets go of me turning around and walking back into the house. I grab my bag out of the trunk and walk inside.
Tony immediatly pulls me into a hug and pats me on the back "hey man, glad you came back we were all going crazy without you here" he says smiling.
"thanks Tony..thanks again for letting me stay at your place" I say. walking towards the stairs to try and find Billy as soon as possible to explain to him how I felt.
":no worries Benj..your my mate i'd do almost anything for you" Tony says. I nod and turn away from him walking towards the stairs, I get stopped by a few more people before Joel comes over and turns there attention away from me. I smile at him thankfully and he gives me a smile and a nod back..no matter what I do he can never stay mad at me.
I make my up the stairs and knock on Billys door, theres no answer. I knock a bit louder and start to get worried as theres no answer, "Billy?" I knock again and wait a second before opening the door slowly "Billy? you in here?" I call out but he's not in there. I walk over to the bed and notice the poster that Billy kept of me on the roof lying on his bed in shreds, I sigh quietly and feel tears come to my eyes but I don't let them fall.
I walk over to the closed bathroom door and knock quietly. "Billy...Billy!" I try to open the door but its locked. "Billy..I know i'm probably the last person you want to talk to right now..but..I am really sorry for what I did..just let me in and we can talk about it..please Billy?" I wait a few seconds for a reply but get none. "Billy...come on open the door and we can talk" I wiggle the door handle and try to get it to open but its no use. I sigh and sit down outside the bathroom door. "fine..if you want to be a baby I'm gunna sit out here until you come out" I shout through the door. Billy never was good at the waiting games, and I know that after calling him a baby would only make it worse.
I sit there nervously, glancing at my watch almost every minute for the past 5 minuites..usually he's given up by now, he really must hate me right now. I stand up and put my ear to the door trying to hear any sort of movement but I hear none. "Billy?" I whisper quietly with tears rolling down my cheeks. I wipe them away and stand up, taking a few steps backwards before running straight at the bathroom door and banging into it with all my weight. I bounce off the door and land on the floor on my back staring up at the still closed door. "fucking hell". I stand back up and run into the door another 6 times but its no use I can't break it down. I stay on my back on the floor staring up at the bathroom door trying to catch my breath.
I lie there for a minute before I realize I don't need to break the door down because you can open the lock from the outside with a small key that Billy keeps in his drawers next to his bed. I get up and run to the drawers pulling out the drawer out and dumping everything in it on Billys bed. Theres pages and pages of Billy's artwork that hes been drawing lately, I push them all to the side and search through all the things from his drawer, theres pens, pencils, condoms and atleast five diffrent keys I pick up all of them and run back over to the bathroom door and try to open it.
"just hold on Billy" I whisper putting the first key in the lock and try to turn it but it doesn't work I pull it out and throw it to the floor as I try another key, it works and I drop all the remaining keys on the floor as I push open the bathroom door to see Billy collapsed onto the floor with tablets lying scattered around him and an empty bottle of JD on the kitchen bench next to the sink, I stand in the door way, to afraid to get closer and touch him cause it would make it all real. My heart is thumping against my chest and my throat is tight making it hard to breath. I fall to my knees next to Billy and gently touch his shoulder, my eyes clouding over with tears. "Billy" I whisper shaking his shoulder lightly.
Fuck. Shit. this is all my fault..I should of gotten into the bathroom quiker instead of sitting outside like a child. I roll Billy onto his back and sigh gratefully as I see his still breathing. I put one hand behind his knees and the other around his shoulders as I pick him up and carry him into his bedroom and sit him gently onto his bed. Brushing his hair off his face and tucking it behind his ear, moving my hand down and slowly stroke his cheek. He looks beautiful lying there with the sun shining in through the curtains and casting a glow around him. I don't know why I never noticed his beauty before, My thumb lightly brushes over his bottom lip moving his lip ring to the side where it catches the light. I lean down and kiss his fowhead so gently I could only just feel his skin against my lips. "I'm so sorry Billy" I whisper with my lips still against his forhead.
"Benji?" I hear Billy quietly.
My breath catches in my throat and I jump back, moving my hand off Billys face. Billy's looking up at me tiredly with a small smile on his face I smile down at him and look into his beautiful blue eyes, placing my hand back on his cheek and stroking my thumb under his eye as if to wipe away all the tears I know his cied. "hey Billy..just go back to sleep" I whisper.
I can tell his trying to fight to stay awake as his eyes open and close a few times. "Benji..I thought you hated me" He moves one of his hands up and puts it over the one of mine on his face. "I don't hate you Billy, I could never hate you...I-I ..just go back to sleep Billy, you need to rest"
I pull away from him and stand up, pulling the blankets that are lying at the bottom of Billys bed over Billy, he has his eyes closed but I can tell his not asleep yet. I comb my fingers through his hair before standing back up and beggining to walk out of the room. "Benji?" I turn around and see Billy looking at me with tears in his eyes, I immediatly feel tears come to my eyes as I Billy so sad. "can - can you stay with me - just until I fall asleep?" he asks in a small voice, I can tell he thinks i'm going to be leaving him again but is afraid to say anything about it. "..sure Billy" I walk back over to the bed Billy watches my every move with tired eyes.I move all of Billys artwork and everything off the bed and place them back in the drawer, as i'm placing the artworks in the drawer I notice one in the middle of the pile. All I can see is my hair messed up like it always is when ever I wake up in the morning I pull it out and stare at it. Its a drawing of Billy and I asleep on his bed. him lying on his side with me pressed against his back with my arms around him. It looks so real, we both look content and happy in the drawing. I look at Billy and his looking at me sadly, probably afraid i'm going to freak out on him and leave. "its Beautiful Billy" I say, he looks at me and smiles his eye lids dropping as he can barely keep his eyes open. He looks so adorable lying there "I drew it.." he yawns and snuggles up to the blankets more before looking at me again and continuing. "drew it two days before I told you how I felt" he whispers looking away from me and sighing. I frown and put the drawing back in the drawer and then pull back the blankets and crawling in under them lieing next to Billy. I put my arm around his shoulders pulling him into my arms. He stiffens and trys to pull away when I first try to pull him to me but he soon relaxes against me, placing his head on my chest and putting his arm around me.
"this isn't another game is it Benji?" he asks softly avoiding eye contact.
"No..Billy" I put my hand under his chin and lift his face towards me so he has to look at me. "I did alot of thinking when I was away Billy..and .I feel like shit for what I did..I don't expect you to forgive me straight away..But I truly am sorry and.." I stop there, the rest of my words dying in my throat. I've never liked guys before..so I was afraid to admit my feelings for Billy. whenever I caught myself staring at a guy I would force my attention to there girlfriends, over the last month and a half i've realised that I care for Billy deeply..alot more then just a best friend. I sigh and look back down at Billy and realise that he's fallen asleep. I pull Billy tighter to me and let myself relax as I drift off to sleep. Hoping that when I wake up I will finally be able to admit to Billy how I feel and hope he doesn't hate me for leaving.
ok...so that chapter officially sucked...i'm really sorry...review anyway please..even if you hate it.

Then things got a lot better.
He's received so many awards over the last week, about the only thing he didn't get was a call to New York for the Heisman ceremony.
The Oklahoma center just wrapped up another selection to the All-Big 12 team – his third. He will finish his career at OU with 49 starts.
"This is a tremendous honor, just overwhelming," Ikard said in a release. "When you consider all that this trophy represents from academic achievement to athletic achievement along with community service, I think this definitely ranks up there as the biggest honor I've received."
The award, named for former Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, is given annually by the All-Sports Association of Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
Ikard even got to make a trip to New York for the National Football Foundation's annual awards.
Pretty good stuff for Ikard.

The maxim may tout apple pie, but in reality there's nothing more American than cornbread, whether in the form of Rhode Island's johnnycakes, Maine's sweet corn muffins, New Mexico's tortillas or Georgia's skillet-baked version. From cornbread dressing to casserole, there's really no form of this staple we don't like. These spots serve up my picks for the best cornbread (and its close relatives). Vote for your favorites in the AJC's Best of the Big A cornbread search through the weekend; winners will be posted on Monday.
Watershed ****
406 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur. 404-378-4900,
The vegetable plate at Watershed becomes the ideal setting for a slice of the restaurant's dreamy spoon bread, inspired by the late, great Edna Lewis. Part cream, part cornmeal: all heaven.
Harold's Barbecue not rated
171 McDonough Blvd., Atlanta, 404-627-9268
The barbecue at this classic joint in Atlanta's West End has left me scratching my head the last few times I've been, but the Brunswick stew and cracklin' corn bread are still worth the trip. Rendered pork fat and cornmeal make a match better than peanut butter and chocolate, and the crisped-edged goodness sis just right for dipping into the hearty stew.
Thelma's Kitchen not rated
302 Auburn Ave., Atlanta, 404-688-5855
Atlanta's queen of soul food, Thelma Grundy, keeps right on truckin' with her soulful Southern favorites, from fried chicken to collard greens. But you're going to need something to sop up that pot liquor, right? That must be why her cornbread — a simply made version that will remind you of your grandmother's — is so good.
Rincon Latino ***
5055 Buford Highway, Doraville, 770-936-8181
Something magical happens when masa is formed into a thick tortilla, stuffed with cheese and sealed on the griddle. The undeniable flavor of corn mixed with soft, white quesillo — a stringy cheese similar to mozzarella — forms a flatbread singed with welcoming flavor. In El Salvador, the result is called a pupusa, and served with a pickled slaw of cabbage, onion and carrots called curtido, it reigns as Central America's most popular lunch and street food.
Pacci ***
866 West Peachtree St. N.W., adjacent to Hotel Palomar, Atlanta, 678-412-2402
Polenta takes cornmeal to a different level, and a visit to Pacci should certainly include Georgia native and chef Keira Moritz's elusively tender duck confit. It falls from the bone with just enough (but not too much) fat, yet sports an ethereally thin, crisp crust, over gorgonzola and polenta studded with a contrast of fat blackberries in a sweet preserve.

Oh come on — why did you have to post that pic of the pupusas at Rincon? I love those things. Now there's no way I'm going to eat the Lean Cuisine I brought to work with me. I'll end up being bad again and going to Buford Highway for the greasy goodness (the cabbage salad stuff counters the oily pupusas well).

Eclipse Responds To USAF Request for Very Light Jets
Albuquerque, N.M.-based Eclipse Aerospace responded Friday to a U.S. Air Force request for information (RFI) concerning possible replacement of the service's 178 Beechjet 400-based T-1 Jayhawks with very light jets. This is the second time the USAF has put out feelers for VLJs, having issued a broader RFI for these small jets in November 2006.
Eclipse Aerospace says its Eclipse 550 could save the government "more than one billion dollars" in fuel and operating costs over 10 years. "That 'b' is very significant," Eclipse CEO Mason Holland told AIN. The company notes that its jet would also save the USAF as much as 13 million gallons of jet fuel annually.
The RFI, part of the specialized undergraduate pilot training multi-place training track, calls for a commercial, off-the-shelf Part 25 aircraft capable of a wide range of training operations, including formation maneuvers and high-speed, low-level flight. The Eclipse, however, is certified to the less stringent Part 23 standards, though Holland explained that the RFI is merely the "Air Force's wish list," not set-in-stone requirements.
While the USAF is only exploring its options at this time, Holland believes the service is eager to make a decision in light of possible budget sequestration on March 1. "The Air Force is looking to save money, while also protecting [its] training assets," he said. "I'm not sure if this process would be held up [by sequestration] or accelerated, but our option would save money regardless."

I want to maintain backup of my servers for that I am looking for a fast a reliable Network storage device of atleast 2TB
The device must have a fast Ethernet connection and if possible must support USB as well.
I have used Lacie, WD & NetGear but the speed of data transfer is very slow on 100Mbps LAN. Even the software provided is not powerful enough to do lots of things.
Any recommendations plz?

Wood fuel pellets and briquettes are easier to store, burn 'clean' and are a far more economical choice than burning logs or fossil fuels.
Our bagged 6mm Verdo wood pellets are manufactured from 100% virgin timber and are sourced within the UK.
Wood pellets make an ideal material for horse bedding or cat litter. They're free from chemicals, so they won't harm your horse or cat. They're odour free and make cleaning easy too.
Wood Pellets for Fuel | Cat Litter Wood Pellets | Horse Bedding Wood Pellets | Biomass Boilers | Wood Briquettes

We've been waiting a long time for this. If you've been operating a biomass boiler in your commercial or industrial unit you've had the benefit of the Renewable Heat Incentive for a couple of years. But as of 9 April 2014, the RHI applies to homes too…
04 04 14
Until recently, the wood that would make an ideal pellet in terms of energy efficiency, cost efficiency and ease of production was also the wood that proved stubbornly difficult (and costly) to break down. But not anymore…
12 03 14
As more people switch to biofuel, there's one question we're asked again and again. How do we know there'll be enough wood pellets or briquettes to go round?
"I have used wood pellets for years now, finding it the most economical bedding. Some batches from the cheaper competitors simply didnt break down at all and ended up being false economy.
PLQ wood pellets however have introduced pellets that are as competitive in price to the cheaper brands but also crumble effectively. I've trialled a pallet, and have just reordered more with a view to taking a lorry load.

June 2000: Vol. 79, No. 3
Dog days in D.C.
Law grad Beth Thompson Kertscher and professor Walter Hellerstein argue U.S. Supreme Court cases on consecutive days
by Kathy Pharr (ABJ '87)
eth Thompson Kertscher (JD '95) was practicing law in Atlanta when Judge J.L. Edmondson (JD '71) of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals assigned her to represent a Georgia inmate who was serving a life sentence for two murders. Robert Jones' parole complaint had failed in federal district court, but his appeal had piqued the interest of the 11th Circuit.
Hellerstein (right) won his case, running his Supreme Court record to 2-0. Kertscher (left) lost hers, but found the experience invaluable.
Kertscher worked long hours to refine the written statement of her argument, and she got help from her old college mentor, UGA law professor Dan Coenen, who is an expert in constitutional law and a former judicial clerk to the late Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun. Kertscher says Coenen made a huge difference in the quality of her legal brief: "He suggested everything from how to connect the ex post facto clause to cruel and unusual punishment cases to little turns of phrases that ended up being a real nice touch in the brief."
In December, Kertscher endured a grueling four-hour practice session in UGA's Hatton Lovejoy Courtroom where she had honed her talents as a moot court student. The justices for this legal dress rehearsal were UGA law professors Anne Dupre (JD '88), who also clerked for Justice Blackmun, and Randy Beck, who clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy. Coenen served as chief justice.
On Jan. 11, at precisely 10 a.m., the marshal banged the gavel to announce the entrance of the Supreme Court justices. When her case was called, the 28-year-old Kertscher strode to the front respondent's table, flanked by co-counsel LeeAnn Jones (JD '86) and Bill Custer (JD '86). Kertscher was pleased with how the argument went. But when the ruling was handed down on March 28, it wasn't what she wanted to hear: a 6-3 decision against her client.
"The experience was wonderful, although I'm very disappointed in the outcome," she says. "If I had the opportunity to do this again, I'd take it in a heartbeat."
On Jan. 12, the day after Kertscher's Supreme Court case, UGA law professor Walter Hellerstein, one of the nation's foremost experts on state and local taxation, went before the Supreme Court to argue Hunt Wesson, Inc. v. Franchise Tax Board of California, a complex case concerning taxation of interest allocations.
"The Supreme Courtthey're a bunch of extremely talented, smart and engaged justices," says Hellerstein. "On the other hand, the justices hear cases that are so different that they can never know as much about my case as I know about it. So they're really looking to me for answers to questions that trouble them."
In February, Hellerstein learned he had won his case, improving his Supreme Court record to 2-0. He plans to share his experiences with his tax law students.
"It helps students to understand cases," he says, "because I can indicate to them that what they see in the appellate opinion is not everything that has gone on in the months, indeed years, before it actually becomes an appellate opinion. So I think it's very important for professors to do things outside the Ivory Tower."
Renaissance man
Medicine and pro football are at the top of Tommy Lyons' résumé, but there's much more. Is there anything the man can't do?
by Stacie Sutton (ABJ '99, BS '00)
Lyons (AB '71, MS '71) is a lot of things all wrapped up in one person: doctor, athlete, piano player, conductor, pilot.
What's amazing is that in the course of one lifetime, Lyons, who's only 51 years old, has realized most of his childhood ambitions. He's a doctor and a pilot. He's a talented enough musician to have served as a guest conductor with symphony orchestras. And though he never became a horse trainer, he did play pro football for the Denver Broncos, so it must have been fate.
"I was like everyone growing upfull of dreams and hopes," says Lyons (AB '71, MS '71). "But I've gotten to do so many things I dreamed of doing. I was lucky."
Of all his ambitions, Lyons says football made everything else possible. At UGA, he started for three years as a center and was a two-time All-American. Even with an outstanding college career, he didn't see football in the big picture. When his college playing days were over, Lyons planned to pursue a career in clinical psychology. But when the Denver Broncos picked him in the 14th round of the 1971 NFL draft, the opportunity was too tempting to pass up.
Lyons started 49 consecutive games for the Broncos. Off the field, he sought greater challenges: "While I was playing football in Denver, a little voice said, 'Maybe you want to do a little more. Maybe you want to be a doctor.' "
Good idea, he thoughtbut wait, I shudder at the sight of blood. To test his resolve, Lyons watched several surgeries and decided that, in the interest of healing people, it was something he could get used to. In 1977, he graduated from the University of Colorado Medical School. For most people, medical school and pro football are feats unto themselves, but Lyons says combining the two seemed like the most natural thing to do. "Football had gone hand in hand with academics since high school," he says. "I didn't know anything else."
While he was playing football for the Broncos, the director of the Denver Symphony Orchestra learned that Lyons was an avid piano player and asked him to be a guest conductor. "It was at once nerve-wracking and fantastic," Lyons recalls. "Take the most amazing sound system and multiply it times 10. That's what it's like to stand there. I swore I'd never do it again, but it's addicting." Lyons later served as guest conductor for the Greeley (Colo.) Philharmonic.
Lyons inherited his love of flying from his father, who was a pilot in World War II, and he is an avid pilot. Finding time to get in the air is another matter entirely. He and his wife Cheryl (BSHE '86) have two children, and his medical practice is a demanding one.
As director of the Center for Women's Care and Reproductive Surgery in Atlanta, Lyons divides his time between the office and the operating room. He uses a unique procedure that enables women to have hysterectomies on an outpatient basis. Most go home the same day. Typically, they return to work within two weeks. "The procedure is called laproscopy," says Lyons, "which basically means big operations through small holes tinier in diameter than a ball point pen."
Lyons has traveled all over the world, teaching his surgical techniques to doctors in Japan, Korea, Russia, and New Zealand. "There's something to learn everywhere you go," he says. "Even if you're a teacher, you still learn something."
She stood up for what was right
Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes broke the color barrier at UGA, but Atlanta music educator Mary Frances Early was the University's first black graduate
by Matt Winston
Early now heads Clark Atlanta University's music department, which is located in an old church.
Early was so moved by the photo that she decided to return to her home state and enroll in graduate school at UGA. A little more than a year later, she earned a master's degree in music education, becoming UGA's first African-American graduate.
"I felt that the responsibility to do the right thing should not fall just on the shoulders of those two brave students," says Early (MMEd '62), who was honored in April by UGA's Graduate and Professional Scholars. "Fighting these types of injustices should be everyone's responsibility. I just wanted to do my part."
Early says the interview session for admission to UGA's graduate school was obviously meant to discourage her: "I was asked all sorts of inappropriate questionsthey even asked me if I had ever been a prostitute." But she was admitted, and when Charlayne Hunter returned to school Early became her roommate. Their biggest obstacle, as well as Holmes', may have been loneliness.
"The students were tolerant," she says. "Most ignored me and went about their business. It was difficult for them to be seen with me. More often than not, I ate meals alone."
Not everyone was tolerant. Early recalls the day when football players formed a human chain in front of the library steps to prevent her from entering. "All I wanted to do was go inside and study," she recalls, "so I put my head down and charged toward them like the Bulldog I was supposed to be. They moved out of my way."
Early sang in the UGA chorus, meaning she also integrated extracurricular activities. On May 16, 1962, she made UGA history when she received her degree at spring commencement. By then, there were nearly a dozen African-American students on campus. A year later, Holmes and Hunter earned their degrees.
Early is currently chair of the music department at Clark Atlanta University. She was a music teacher and administrator in the Atlanta public schools for 37 years, and she is a past president of the Georgia Music Educators Association.
The students, faculty, and staff who gathered to welcome Early back to campus in April got to see some important pieces of civil rights history: Early's acceptance letter to graduate school, the tassel she wore at commencement, and a letter of congratulations written to her by Martin Luther King Jr.
"When I think about the numbers of minorities on campus then and compare them to now, I'm not encouraged," says Early. "The struggle began 39 years agoand it is far from over."
End of an era
Milton "Red" Leathers and Frank Lumpkin Jr., the last two remaining members of the '29 team that upset Yale, died a few weeks apart
by Dan Magill (ABJ '42)
ast Oct. 26, before the Homecoming game versus Kentucky, the University honored the last living members of the revered '29 team that upset mighty Yale in the dedication of Sanford Stadium: Milton "Red" Leathers of Athens and Frank Lumpkin Jr. of Columbus.
Both in declining health and well past 90, they made their way to the 50-yard line via wheelchair and golf cartand were given a standing ovation by 85,000 fans. Leathers (BSC '33) was an All-Southern Conference guard in 1930-31. Lumpkin (M '31) was a four-year "scrub team" lineman, but he went on to become one of his alma mater's most generous athletic boosters.
Leathers (right) helped the Dogs defeat Yale twice, and Lumpkin became a generous athletic benefactor.
Red Leathers was Athens High's only four-letter athlete: all-state on the undefeated state championship football team in '27 (he called signals even though he played tackle); all-state in basketball on teams that twice lost to Vienna's "Wonder Five" by a basket; all-state first baseman in baseball; and a shot putter in track.
At Georgia, Red starred in the Bulldogs' 15-0 victory over Yale in '29, and two years later was a hero in the Dogs' 26-7 win over Yale before 75,000 in the Yale Bowl, intercepting a pass and racing 50 yards to the goal line. In 1933, as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, Red became UGA's first NFL player.
Stationed at the Pentagon during World War II, he developed an ordinance distribution plan that the British government said, "shortened the war by months." Back home, he built his family's business into an internationally known firm that traded to 18 countries.
Frank Lumpkin Jr. was born in Columbus, and his family has played an important role in both UGA and Georgia history. The UGA law school was founded by his great-grandfather, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, first chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, and Joseph's brother Wilson was governor of Georgia.
Frank made a name for himself as a business and civic leader in Columbus. His principal profession was insurance, and he was known for his outspoken stylewhich friends believe may have been a result of his admiration for Gen. George Patton, who was a close friend of Frank's father. Patton, accompanied by generals Omar Bradley and George Marshall, liked to sip whiskey at the Lumpkin household while they were stationed at Fort Benning. Frank later served under Patton in Europe as a lieutenant colonel in the 709th Tank Battalion.
One of Frank's many financial contributions to UGA athletics will improve the football pressbox. He also funded a much-needed building adjacent to the dressing rooms in Sanford Stadium that will be used for TV, radio, and post-game press interviews. It will be named the Frank Lumpkin Media Center.

Hendry down on farm - looking for final pieces
Described as an annual "farm tour", Cubs GM Jim Hendry attended the I-Cubs win last night over New Orleans. If I were a talented player, perhaps a player who has already seen major league action this year, and currently holds a major league batting average over .370, I would be heartened to know that the Big Boss is here to see me rake.
Daryle Ward has a .100 batting average as a pinch hitter. He cannot run nor play the field. If he manages to get on base, we almost always have to employ yet another bench player to run for him. Last night he got a sac fly to drive in a run, and it seemed like a major victory for him. Like the scene in "Little Big League", when Billy Hayward's favorite player broke a 0-for-21 slump with a seeing-eye squibber to right...it's time to put the Fat Kangaroo out of his misery.
Jimmy, bring home more than just some funnel cakes and beef jerky from your trip. Bring us some Micah Hofpauir, and some bullpen help while you're at it. I'm stickin' the fork in Bob Howry. He's done.
Bob "Homerun" Howry
Bob Howry has lost all ability to pitch! DUH !
Earlier in the year it was Michael Wuertz stinking up the joint, but now Howry is filling that role.
Lou has given him every oppurtunity to pitch his way out of this funk, but enough is enough already. Bob has got to go. How can Lou have any faith at all in his ability to pitch. He came into a game with a 7 run lead, and he let the Braves right back into that game last night. Daryle Ward has turned into a totally useless offensive or defensive bench player. Both of these guys should be put on waivers immediately. I'm sure they won't be picked up, but we do get the oppurtunity to dump them and their salaries. Micah Hofpauir should be on this team right now. If the Cubs have any chance of getting to the World Series this year, they can not afford the dead weight of players like Howry and Ward.
Turned into a totally useless defensive bench player. Long ago my friend, Long Ago.
This is MLB. Putting a player on waivers only gets rid of him, it doesn't get rid of that players' salary.
Waiving Bobby is not the smart move. Place him on the DL until September when you can expand your roster to 40. Give him a few weeks to clear his head, etc.
The man's a quality big league pitcher. He's hit a bad spell now, but that doesn't mean you should cut ties with him when there is an excellent alternative option.
This has been a message of Pestilence

The proposed physician-assisted suicide ballot question is poorly written, confusing and flawed. The ballot question as written lacks safeguards, poses a safety risk, and could result in depressed patients taking their life before they get mental health counseling and treatment and before they know about hospice and palliative care approaches. The ballot language cannot be changed between now and election day on November 6th.
Vote NO on question 2.
A prognosis is always just an estimate
Under this ballot question, anyone who has been given six months to live would be eligible to obtain a life-ending prescription. But many doctors know that kind of prognosis is just an educated guess. Individuals sometimes live much longer than doctors predict. If this ballot question is passed, patients could end their lives months or even years before their time, based on an incorrect prognosis of having less than six months to live.
No psychiatric care is mandated by this ballot question
The so-called "Death with Dignity" act lacks effective safeguards. All patients requesting a life-ending prescription would not be required to meet with a psychologist or psychiatrist, professionals who are trained to detect and diagnose mental health concerns. Some patients may already be suffering from mental health issues and a terminal diagnosis could surely push them deeper into depression. Others might become depressed upon learning of their illness and fear being a burden on one's family, and still others develop a sense of hopelessness.
But instead of referring patients to a mental health specialist, doctors working under this law would merely be required to have patients receive a second consenting opinion from another physician, also not required to be a psychiatrist. Patients faced with potential life-ending illnesses should receive not only physical care but also mental health assistance as well. Their choice should not be influenced nor their remaining time cut short due to treatable depression or hopelessness. The proposed law does nothing to address the mental health of terminal patients before ending their lives, treatment which may well renew their desire to live. This is just wrong!
There is a better way
The hospice and palliative care field has made significant advances in the past few decades. Today, patients with terminal diagnoses can often live full and largely pain-free lives. When they do become more ill, they receive compassionate care that prevents needless suffering. Expanding and improving these end-of-life care options should be our state's priority, not physician-assisted suicide.
Question 2 is poorly written! The ballot question does require prescribing physicians to mention alternatives to assisted suicide, such as palliative or hospice care. However, the ballot question fails to ensure patients have adequate information and access to these forms of care.
Question 2 is confusing! In addition, under this proposal, physicians who prescribe life-ending drugs are not required to have any understanding or expertise of the array of end-of-life care options. Without properly explaining these alternatives, terminally ill patients and their families would be left without the information they need to make an informed decision.
Question 2 is flawed! When a patient receives a terminal diagnosis, one of the first treatments they need is help dealing with the emotions associated with the end of life. Palliative and hospice care professionals are trained to provide that level of compassion and care. We have better, more positive and constructive ways to care for patients with terminal illnesses. Physician-Assisted Suicide is not the answer.
A more thoughtful process than a complicated and confusing ballot question
The state legislature has often considered voting on physician-assisted suicide but legislators have yet to forge a consensus on the myriad of legal, ethical and moral issues involved. Now proponents of physician-assisted suicide are attempting to bypass the state legislature by presenting an oversimplified and deeply flawed ballot question. If the ballot question passes in November, there will be no other steps or requirements to be fulfilled and the flaws and unintended consequences will be part of a new law. If passed by the voters, physician-assisted suicide will be legal in Massachusetts on January 1, 2013. A ballot question is not the way to decide these complex questions and end-of-life decisions.
This is our one chance to VOTE NO. We must take a stand against suicide and fight for better, more compassionate care for patients facing a serious illness.
