Assembly candidate severs ties with staffer arrested for OWI
As if things couldn't get any worse for the campaign of Assembly candidate Jeanne Tarantino.

Police officers invoke Fifth Amendment during Derek Williams inquest
During a hearing Wednesday into the in-custody death of Derek Williams, seven members of the Milwaukee Police Department - two in uniform - refused to answer any questions, including where they work and whether they are police officers.
Accompanied by private attorneys, the five officers and two sergeants read identical statements invoking their Fifth Amendment right, which protects against self-incrimination. Each ended by saying they "respectfully decline to answer questions."
Special prosecutor John Franke, obviously frustrated, questioned why Sgt. Todd Kaul, who was in full uniform, would not acknowledge he is a member of the force. »Read Full Article(230)
Bradley sought more security long before incident with Prosser
Madison - State Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley received stepped-up security from law enforcement more than two months before Justice David Prosser put his hands around her neck in a dispute over a controversial case, according to a court document issued Wednesday.
That disclosure came in a decision Bradley released recusing herself from the ethics case against Prosser over the June 2011 altercation. Bradley wrote in the filing that she and Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson to this day lock themselves in their offices when working after hours because of concerns about Prosser's behavior.
"If nothing is done, I wonder what will happen next in this escalating pattern of abusive behavior," Bradley wrote. »Read Full Article(729)
Walker rejects full Medicaid expansion, says 224,000 more to be covered
Madison - The state would turn down a full expansion of the BadgerCare program under the federal health care law, but 224,600 more state residents would still gain coverage as the law takes effect, under a proposal unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Scott Walker.
Speaking to an audience of hundreds at a meeting here of business lobby Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Walker said his plan would cover somewhat fewer people than a full expansion of Medicaid as provided under the federal health care law, which he said would cover 252,700 people, or 28,100 more than his own approach. But the Republican governor said that his proposal, which shrinks state health programs by a few thousand patients, would reduce the role of government in people's lives and make them more independent.
"Some people will portray this as not caring about people. I think it's just the opposite. I care too much about the people of this state not to empower them to control their own destiny," Walker told the audience. »Read Full Article(528)
Report shows Milwaukee choice schools lack specialty teachers
Milwaukee's private-school voucher program has swelled to nearly 25,000 students in 113 schools that largely mirror local public schools in terms of race and poverty, and rapid enrollment growth is raising new questions about how much taxpayer money the private schools should receive to adequately serve students.
Results from an annual survey of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program released Wednesday underscore what's already well-known about the voucher program: Participating private schools spend less to educate each pupil than Milwaukee Public Schools but offer little achievement data about how those pupils are doing.
The survey also offers a new reason that the voucher schools' per-pupil costs may be lower: About a third of the private schools report they do not have specialty teachers for subjects such as art, music and physical education. »Read Full Article(188)
Town of Delafield man found guilty of using computer to facilitate child sex crime
An 81-year-old Town of Delafield man told a jury Wednesday that he didn't believe the person on the other end of his sexually explicit, hot-and-heavy text and email dialogue in 2011 was really a 15-year-old boy.
No youth that age would really want to be carrying on that way with such an old man, Donald Riemer testified. He said he assumed "Tyler" was another other adult playing the role of a teenager as the two Craigs list acquaintances "horsed around."
"It was just fantasy," he said. "It was all stupid, but it was fun, like reading cowboy novels or something." »Read Full Article
Hacker may have accessed records for 43,000 people treated by Froedtert Health
A computer hacker may have gleaned personal information on about 43,000 people treated at Froedtert Health affiliates by gaining access to a staff member's computer, Froedtert Health said Wednesday.
Froedtert Health learned in December that access to the computer had been gained through a virus that, in turn, allowed access to patient files, according to a news release.
No evidence was found that any patient information has been accessed, but letters notifying the patients were sent this week as a precaution, the news release said. »Read Full Article(9)
Yellow pages scheme puts touch on small businesses
A company posing as Yellow Pages Network or Yellow National Directory is trying to scam small businesses in Wisconsin into paying invoices of several hundred dollars for yellow page services that the business never ordered. The scammers even provide a doctored voice recording of an employee as proof of the order.
Luckily, Michelle Keshel, owner of the New Berlin business Sales Automation Support Inc., isn't easily scammed. When her receptionist handed her a faxed invoice for an online listing in the Yellow Pages Network for nearly $600 including late fees, Keshel was skeptical.
" 'There's no way we ordered this,' " she recalled saying to the receptionist. "We don't buy any advertising." »Read Full Article(3)

Ann Wilson says relationship between cops, African-Americans is 'tenuous'
Ann Wilson, Mayor Tom Barrett's nominee to a vacant seat on the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission, says the relationship between the African-American community and the Police Department is "tenuous to say the least."
"We could be in a better state," Wilson said in an interview Wednesday. "I don't want to get into what could be different, but it could be better than what it is."
Wilson, manager of the Family Resource Center at the Hillside Terrace public housing development, is expected to appear Thursday before members of the Common Council's Public Safety Committee. Barrett reappointed her to the commission after the council voted to reject her initial appointment. »Read Full Article(62)

Authorities identify victims in Oneida County fire
Harshaw - Authorities have confirmed that a husband and wife died in a fire that destroyed their home in rural Oneida County.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Office said autopsies positively identified the victims as Mark Juel, 55, and Kaye Juel, 53, of Harshaw.
Crews found their bodies Tuesday after the fire destroyed the large house about 20 miles west of Rhinelander.
Firefighters arrived to find the house engulfed in flames. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Senate panel recommends flexibilities for UW System
Madison - The stage is set for the University of Wisconsin System to possibly gain new flexibilities that could allow it to do business more efficiently with less state funding.
But legislators who will debate just how much flexibility to give want assurances the public university system will be accountable to taxpayers and state leaders.
That's the take-away message from a hearing Wednesday by the Senate Committee on Universities and Technical Colleges as it formally received a legislative task force report exploring and recommending possible new flexibilities for the UW System. »Read Full Article(3)
$8.3 million donated for Marquette University journalism fellowship
A Minneapolis couple has donated $8.3 million to Marquette University's College of Communication to fund a new fellowship intended to produce world-class public service journalism projects and enable students to work with some of the news industry's best journalists, the university said Wednesday.
Peter and Patricia Frechette made the gift in honor of Patricia's parents, Perry and Alicia O'Brien, who graduated from Marquette in the mid-1930s. Patricia's father, Perry, was a longtime reporter with the Janesville Gazette and WCLO-AM radio in the 1940s and '50s.
The donation is the second-largest ever made to the J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication, behind only the $28 million the Diederichs gave in 2005. »Read Full Article(1)
Aldermen vow to stop plan to forgive $192,000 in back rent
At least two aldermen say they will head off a city proposal that would allow a restaurant and tavern owner leasing space in a parking ramp to walk away without paying nearly $192,000 in back rent.
The issue surfaced on Tuesday when members of the city's Public Works Committee were asked to approve a plan to terminate the city's lease with Centercourt 1118 LLC, the operators of Center Court Pub and Grille, 1118 N. 4th St., and forgive the debt.
Center Court is located across the street from the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The restaurant and bar is tucked underneath the Highland Blvd., parking ramp and is the responsibility of the city's Department of Public Works. »Read Full Blog Post(41)

Medical conflicts of interest: It's not just about the money
While much of the attention about conflicts of interest in medicine has focused on financial relationships between drug companies and doctors, other non-monetary issues are just as concerning, a leading medical researcher said in an online Q&A.
Professional rivalries, egos and the desire to appear in the press (fame) also have a major influence on medical science, said Duke University Medical Center vice chancellor and professor of medicine Robert Califf in a Q&A on the website CardioExchange.
Califf was asked about the growing concern that too many clinical trials are under control of drug companies and not the principal investigator of the trial. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Sen. Ron Johnson calls Violence Against Women bill unconstitutional
Washington, D.C. -- In a statement Wednesday, GOP Sen. Ron Johnson said he voted against re-authorizing the Violence Against Women Act because it contained "serious flaws," including an "unconstitutional expansion of tribal authority."
Johnson was one of 22 senators – all Republicans – who voted Tuesday against re-authorization of the law, which offers protections and aid to victims of domestic violence.
The 19-year-old law lapsed in 2011, and its latest reauthorization has been bogged down along partisan lines. »Read Full Blog Post(446)
Former DA Ken Kratz, alleged victim settle damage lawsuit
Green Bay - A settlement has been reached in lawsuit against a former Calumet County district attorney accused of sending racy text messages to a domestic abuse victim, federal court records show.
Stephanie Van Groll accused former prosecutor Ken Kratz of sexual harassment for allegedly sending her a barrage of messages, including some propositioning her, while he was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend in 2009. Kratz resigned as DA in 2010 after The Associated Press reported he had tried to spark an affair with the woman. More women later came forward and accused Kratz of sexual harassment.
No details of the settlement were released, WLUK-TV reported Tuesday. Van Groll was seeking unspecified damages in her lawsuit. The trial had been scheduled to begin next week in Green Bay. »Read Full Article(2)
Board predicts poor turnout for Wisconsin Supreme Court primary
Madison - State officials are predicting anemic voter turnout of less than 10% for Tuesday's primary for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The only statewide race on the ballot for next week is a primary for the state's highest court in which incumbent Patience Roggensack is matched against lemon law attorney Vince Megna and Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone.
There's been little public interest in the race for the court, despite its place as one the most important institutions in state government. The court currently is narrowly divided on some controversial issues between a bloc of four conservatives and a group of three justices, two of whom are consistently liberal. »Read Full Article(27)

Johnson sounds like he's ready to filibuster on Hagel nomination
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson has just publicly signaled support for a filibuster to delay the confirmation vote on former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel as President Barack Obama's defense secretary.
Hagel is just a "tool" Obama wants to use to hollow out the U.S. military and claim it's a bipartisan move, Johnson told conservative talk radio host Jay Weber on WISN-AM (1130) on Wednesday morning.
Johnson said he understood the concern over the fact that no cabinet-level appointee's nomination had been filibustered, but said it's too important a position to overlook Hagel's poor performance at a recent confirmation hearing. »Read Full Blog Post(62)
Fitzgerald says he and Walker oppose tonnage tax for iron mining companies
Madison -- Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Wednesday some Senate Republicans also want to modify mining legislation so that iron mining companies are charged a tax based on how much ore they take out of the ground, but that he and Gov. Scott Walker oppose such a change.
He said if the provision is included in the legislation, he expects Walker to remove it with the governor's expansive line-item veto powers.
Fitzgerald said he hopes the Senate can act on the bill by the end of the month. Before then, it needs to go through the Joint Finance Committee. A committee meeting has yet to be set. »Read Full Blog Post(17)
Bikers protest profiling and police traffic stops for wearing club patches
Phoenix, Ariz. -- A hearing room filled with patch-wearing motorcycle club members broke out in cheers as an Arizona Senate committee passed a bill requiring police to take training highlighting a ban on profiling of motorcyclists by law enforcement officers.
The unusual sight at the state Capitol was prompted by a bill attempting to address complaints from motorcycle club members who say they're frequently stopped by police for no legitimate reason.
Ken Mei of Phoenix, president of the local chapter of the Peckerwoods Motorcycle Club, said the treatment he and his fellow members receive from police makes it obvious they're being singled out. »Read Full Blog Post(28)

Glendale parade will go on
Although doubts were cast a month ago, Glendale's Fourth of July parade is set to move forward this year with a group of resident volunteers committed to planning the venerable event.
While the city's 2013 budget included $12,000 for a fireworks show amid Independence Day festivities this year, no money has been earmarked for a parade, which in years past cost between $6,000 and $7,000.
The decision not to fund the parade, made late last year by the Common Council during budget deliberations, was a deviation from past years where city funding had been allocated toward fireworks and a parade. Budget constraints were cited as a reason for the decision. »Read Full Article

Pot conviction reversed over improper arrest, entry and search
Some residents at a Milwaukee apartment complex had complained to the manager that one tenant, Daniel Cervantes, had been seen with a shotgun. The manager told a security guard who told police.
In June 2010, seven police came to Cervantes' door. He opened it a bit and was then pulled out into the hallway and handcuffed. Officers didn't find any guns in his apartment, but did find a book bag with pot, and Cervantes was charged with possession and convicted.
But the state Court of Appeals on Tuesday reversed the conviction, ruling the police had no probable cause to arrest Cervantes, no exigent circumstances, no reason for a protective sweep and no voluntary consent to search his apartment. Therefore, the court found, the marijuana was inadmissible as evidence against him. »Read Full Blog Post(21)

Large care center for children, elderly proposed for north side
An unusual development that would blend day care and medical programs for children, frail elderly and people with disabilities is being proposed for Milwaukee's north side.

If you ask anyone who knew Lindsay Boling growing up, they'd likely tell you she was never funny. But, a lot has changed for the former University of Louisville soccer star, who recently moved to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a comedian. "If you ask anyone I know, they will tell you that I've never been funny – ever," laughed Boling, a graduate of Sacred Heart Academy. "I was pretty serious when I was in college."
However, with a little practice and a repertoire of jokes delving into such issues as awkward texting scenarios, the "stupidest movie titles ever conceived" and the strange placement of anti-drug ads, Boling has transformed herself from stand-out athlete to rising stand-up comic.
In the last two years, she's performed at such places as Comedy Caravan and the Louisville Improv, while also touring much of the U.S. Ready to try her hand at the Big Leagues of comedy in New York City, Boling landed in the Big Apple on Nov. 3. She was originally scheduled to leave on Halloween of this year, but had to postpone her move due to Hurricane Sandy.
The Voice-Tribune caught up with Boling to find out more about her blossoming comedy career and what she's most looking forward to as a funnywoman living in New York.
When did you first become involved in comedy?
I started doing it right after soccer ended, so the spring after my senior year at UofL. I kind of fell into it by accident. I was an English major and creative writer at UofL and (was) writing sketches and stuff, and then I saw this stand-up thing and didn't really know it existed, so I just Googled open mics and did it that way.
How do you choose which material to perform?
Sometimes it's a late night, Saturday at 1 a.m. and people are drunk, so you should probably go with a blue joke, which is a dirtier joke. You can't do jokes about books at 1 a.m. You just have to be able to read the crowd and have enough material where you can pick and choose.
The more personal jokes get, the more universal they'll become. The trick is to take experiences from your own life, but take it so everyone else is like, "Oh, that happened to me too." … I try not to make too much fun of pop culture. … It's too easy to make fun of Kim Kardashian.
What do you love most about comedy?
I think I'm finding out more about myself in doing this, because you get up there and act goofy but kind of have some substance to what you're saying.
Who is your female role model in comedy?
For me, it's always been Tina Fey because I love that she was a writer first and now she's performing more. … It's good that she's going out and being a voice for women. I like that she's able to branch out of comedy.
Do you find it tougher being a female comedian in an industry mostly dominated by men?
In the comedy community it never really comes up, which is kind of funny because people talk about female versus male comedians. … You'll have people come up to you after the show saying, "It's great to see a girl up there," or "I don't usually like female comedians but you were funny." But I never think about (the male versus female comedy perception).
I heard you performed for Bellarmine's men's basketball team. What was that like?
(Coach Scott Davenport) called me up one day, and Coach Davenport is great because he's always wanting to do fun stuff for the team. … I just kind of came in, no intro, no microphone, guys sitting around, (I'm) telling my jokes and they were laughing. That was definitely the most interesting show I've done, and I've done some weird ones.
What made you decide to move to New York to pursue comedy?
The sooner you go I think the better it will be. I'm kind of starting over by going there, but at least I'm starting at two years instead of eight years. Being around those people pushing me all the time, I think it'll make me better quicker. … It's definitely a scary move, especially when I graduated with an English major – what job am I going to have? … I know people up (in New York), but it's just like starting over. It's a huge scene there so I'll just be doing all the open mics that I can, meeting a bunch of people, hopefully getting my name out there and booking a lot of shows.
What's your ultimate goal with comedy?
I would love to be able to just say that my job is comedy and not have a day job anymore. … For me, as long as I'm doing that, whether or not it's going on the road doing stand-up or writing or performing on a stage. I just want to be able to say this is my only job.

Number of Servings for Teenage Girls
|Food Group
|Number of Servings*
|Bread, cereal, rice, and pasta
|Milk, yogurt, and cheese
|Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts
|2 (about 6 ounces)
*Teens will probably eat servings more closely resembling the size of an adult serving.
Teens' Special Needs
Two nutrients typically come up short in a teen's diet: calcium and iron. This usually happens due to poor eating habits, poor food choices, or not eating enough. Calcium-rich foods are vital to ensure strong healthy bones. Even as teenagers reach their adult height, bones continue to grow stronger and denser. Almost half of your bone mass as an adult is formed during the teen years.
What else can teens do for healthy bones? Besides eating a diet rich in calcium, including milk, cheese, yogurt, and calcium-fortified foods, teens should participate in weight-bearing physical activities. These may include running, tennis, soccer, dancing, volleyball, or inline skating. These types of activities trigger the formation of bone tissue. Also, they should go easy on soft-drinks, especially caffeinated ones, and avoid smoking.
Fatigue can be a sign of iron deficiency. When iron is in short supply, less oxygen is available to produce energy. Iron needs increase during the teen years. Girls need more iron to replace losses from their menstrual blood flow, and both boys and girls need more iron due to more muscle mass and greater blood supply. Iron comes from foods such as meat, poultry, seafood, legumes, enriched grains, and some vegetables.
It is important for teenagers to eat at least three meals per day to ensure they are consuming all needed nutrients. A meal skipped on occasion is not a concern, but skipping meals on a regular basis can mean missing out on essential nutrients.
Being physically active is just as essential to teenagers as it is to adults. One reason teens are not as active these days is too many sedentary activities, such as television; too many hours at the computer; and video games. Helping teens establish a lifelong habit of being physically active can help reduce their risk now for chronic health problems later in life. Keep in mind that you are a role model for your teen!
Essential: Boys and girls ages seven to ten need about 10 mg of iron daily. For girls during adolescence, ages eleven to eighteen years, the need jumps to 15 mg daily. For boys during adolescence, ages eleven to eighteen years, the need jumps to 12 mg per day.

The 7 Worst Things Airline Pilots Have Done Mid-Flight
People with a fear of flying often cite the sense of helplessness as one of the most terrifying aspects of the phobia. When you travel by air, you're entrusting your very existence to someone you've likely never met, nor know anything about, and that can be disconcerting. But of course, flying is the safest form of travel there is, thanks to endless safety measures and professional, competent flight crews.
It is a little harder to share in that unshakable confidence if you're on a flight where ...
#7. A Pilot Rants Over the Intercom About Sex With His Flight Attendants
In 2011, a Southwest Airlines pilot lamented to his copilot about how vagina-less his life had become. A common complaint, perhaps, but in this case he didn't realize the mic on his headset was on, and that he was blasting his lonely cock lament to every other flight crew in the vicinity trying to use the frequency, as well as the air traffic control towers. And as bad as you think it was, trust us, it was worse. Here's the audio file, if you want to listen to it. It just goes on and on.
"My shrink told me I had mother issues, but that just gave me a boner."
His lack of sex, as he would go on to explain to dozens of listening strangers, was through no fault of his own, but rather that of Southwest Airlines. They had apparently implemented a hiring policy that allowed for, in his opinion, far too many flight attendants who simply didn't meet his standards. He starts out with a statistical analysis, playing it conservatively by only offending homosexuals and older women:
"Well, I had Tucson to Indy all four weeks and, uh, Chicago crews ... there's 12 flight attendants ... 11 fucking over the top, fucking ass-fucking homosexuals and a granny."
Via Momgrind.com
"Oh yeah? Well, you should have seen me back in the day, sonny, before the gender reassignment."
He then upped the stakes by tossing in the overweight ladies, henceforth known as "grandes":
"Eleven. I mean, think of the odds of that. I thought I was in Chicago, which was party land ... After that, it was just a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes ..."
And then finally, he admitted what most of us were suspecting all along:
"Oh I don't give a fuck. I hate 100 percent of their asses."
"And the Mexicans. Man, don't even get me started on the Mexicans."
He goes on and on, bemoaning the lack of acceptable plunder-caves for his lonely penis (declaring only one prospect to be "partly doable"), until finally an air traffic controller is able to interrupt and get on the air to advise, "OK, whoever's transmitting, you better watch what you're saying." Oblivious, the pilot blundered on through the warning (and through the persistent sounds of countless other pilots and controllers trying to key up their mics), delivering a fascinating anecdote that ended with, "... but they're still mopeds, you know what I mean? I still wouldn't want anyone to know if I had banged 'em."
Finally, the same air traffic controller is able to break in again and says, "OK, someone's got a stuck mic and, uh, telling us all about their, uh, 'endeavors,' and we don't need to hear that." There is nothing further from the pilot, who by this point had managed to clog up air traffic for several minutes over one of the busiest airports in the country while other planes were trying to land. A Southwest spokesperson would later tell reporters that the "pilot had been reprimanded, suspended without pay ... and sent to diversity training" as a result of the embarrassing and offensive rant that went out over the Texas airways, but in a small act of pity toward his shitty sex life, refused to divulge his name.
"Around here we just call him Grande McGrannyFuck."
#6. A Fistfight Breaks Out Between Pilots and Crew, then Spills Out into the Cabin
If you were to make a list of the top five things you never want to see a pilot do, right near the top (perhaps behind only "falling out of the cockpit with a knife in his back" and "asking passengers over the intercom if anyone has any heroin") would have to be "getting into a brutal fistfight with the crew, right there in the aisle."
"I'd like to fist you a question. Sorry, I'm not good with puns."
Yes, that happened, on an Air India flight. A 24-year-old "air hostess," Komal Singh, claimed that the pilot had groped her during the pre-flight briefing, presumably during the demonstration of the aircraft's flotation devices. She told this to the chief flight attendant (or "purser"), a male and a friend of Singh's. Instead of telling her to file a grievance once they were all safely on the ground, the man decided that vengeance could wait not a moment longer. He burst into the cockpit like the shark from Jaws to confront the guilty party.
At this point, a full-fledged fistfight broke out between the pilot, copilot, purser and Singh that spilled out into the galley in full view of 113 passengers and crew, leaving the airplane unmanned for 10 straight minutes.
"If suddenly things get vertical and we all start floating, just sort of punch us toward the cockpit."
At one point during the brawl, the pilot likened the scenario to a hijacking, and threatened to divert the plane to Karachi for an emergency landing. Eventually, the combatants either beat each other into exhaustion or suddenly realized the colossal stupidity of holding a Brawl for All aboard a commercial airliner involving the only people present who could actually fly the damn thing.
"The pilots are dead. It's your time to shine, grandma."
After an inquiry by the authorities, both pilots were cleared of the sexual harassment charges, but in regards to the brawl, everyone involved got "charge sheeted." Which we're thinking is less than what a post-9/11 flight attendant would get in the USA if he had burst into the cockpit with the intention of punching the pilot. Speaking of which ...
#5. A Pilot Gets Stuck in the Bathroom, Causing a Terrorism Scare
On a recent Chautauqua Airlines flight from North Carolina to New York, the pilot left the controls while the plane was in a holding pattern for landing to go make a quick trip to the bathroom. The affair concluded, he attempted to leave the bathroom and return to the cockpit, but found that due to some malfunction with the door, he was now locked inside.
Slowly realizing that his life had somehow become a Mr. Bean movie, the desperate pilot began shouting for help, alerting a nearby passenger who told the pilot to hang on while he got the attention of the copilot. This good Samaritan made his way to the front of the plane and began pounding on the cockpit door, shouting about a trapped pilot in his heavy "Middle Eastern" accent.
Via ABC News
ABC News was kind enough to supply this diagram, showing that the shitter is in the ass-end of the plane.
The copilot immediately notified air traffic control of the following: "The captain disappeared in the back, and, uh, I have someone with a thick foreign accent trying to access the cockpit."
When asked to clarify just what the hell was going on, he responded, "What I'm being told is he is stuck in the lav. Someone with a thick foreign accent is giving me a password to access the cockpit, and I'm not about to let him in." He then asked for the appropriate course of action.
Via Airport-int.com
"The most important thing is to determine whether you're in a dark comedy or something more slapstick."
He was ordered by the controllers to initiate an emergency landing while they prepared to call everyone from fighter squadrons to Delta Force to prevent the next 9/11. But before the situation spun completely and hilariously out of control, the pilot was able to force his way out of his toilet prison and let himself back into the cockpit, where, to the relief of all, he notified the ground that everything was fine and that he really had gotten stuck in the bathroom like a magnificent dumbass. Presumably the passenger was still arrested for the act of banging on a cockpit door while in possession of a foreign accent.
"If you're innocent, sir, then how do you explain the cloth on your head, let alone the mustache?"
#4. A Pilot Narrowly Avoids the Planet Venus
For most humans, our brain is never less functional than at the moment we wake up, which you already know if you've ever spent 20 minutes trying to "answer" your alarm clock because you were just having a dream that Commissioner Gordon was calling you on the Batphone. So you can imagine what can go wrong if you were to, say, wake up behind the stick of an airliner.
In January of 2011, the drowsy first officer of an Air Canada flight traveling from Toronto to Zurich decided to get in some nap time, which is actually permissible under that airline's rules and is not uncommon for transcontinental flights. A little more than an hour later, he woke up, sleepily scraping the eye boogers of upper atmosphere from his face. At this point, he overheard the pilot calmly and matter-of-factly mention that there was a U.S. military aircraft in the vicinity. No big deal.
They almost never bite.
But the muddled officer looked out of the front windshield and noticed what appeared to be the exterior lights from an oncoming plane, heading right for them. "Holy shit!" he thought, "It's that military plane the pilot just mentioned! It's not just in our vicinity, it's about to ram us out of the fucking sky! Shiiiiiiiiiit!"
With seemingly no time to lose before what he perceived to be an imminent collision, the first officer heaved the control stick forward, sending the craft into a sudden 400-foot plunge and flinging passengers all over the fuselage.
"If we plunge into a zero-gravity dive, the captain recommends attempting either a wicked flip or boning somebody."
After completing this bone-jarring maneuver, the flight officer probably looked over to the pilot with his hand raised and ready to receive a high-five. He was likely instead met with the cold hard stare of a man contemplating the best way to dropkick a co-worker through the emergency exit. The lights of the oncoming craft turned out to be the planet Venus, which, while on their trajectory, they were in no real danger of hitting.
The first officer's emergency dive, however, had put the plane dangerously close to the actual location of the aforementioned military plane, which was coasting along only 1,000 feet below. Oh, and 16 passengers claimed injury as a result of getting tossed around by the sudden maneuver, and a class action lawsuit for $20 million is in the works.
"I knew this flying thing would eventually pay off."

Getting Up To Speed With...Danny Horner
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Madman Photography)
Fans of the Cottage Grove Speedway will never forget one of the greats to come out of the famed ¼-mile clay oval in the last twenty-five years, Danny Horner. Horner, from Cottage Grove, took the Pacific Northwest by storm in 2006 by winning both the Cottage Grove Speedway 360 Sprint title as well as the Northern Sprint Tour championship in the organization's final season. In addition to the crowns that year he would obtain he also won the first two legs of the 2006 edition of Speedweek Northwest first at the Southern Oregon Speedway in White City and again the next night at his home track, the Cottage Grove Speedway.
Danny Horner is also a three-time Limited Sprint (now called Northwest Extreme Sprints) champion at CGS and also managed to earn a couple of championships while in Kage Karts. Horner was able to earn the Rookie of the Year award in the Limited Sprints at Cottage Grove in 2000 and five years later the same award for the 360 Sprints. 2005 also would see him capture the Rookie of the Year award for the Northern Sprint Tour.
2007 looked like it was going to be a bigger and better year for him but unfortunately he was injured in a major crash at USA Raceway (now called Tucson International Raceway) in Arizona while racing against the World of Outlaws. During the crash Horner sustained a severe neck injury that would put an immediate halt to his racing plans. Since then he has only raced a handful of times usually just once a year.
Since then he's been quite busy marrying his lovely wife Trisha and raising their son Andrew. We got a chance to talk with Danny about his achievements of the past and his plans for the future. Now without further ado let's get up to speed with Danny Horner.
Driver: Danny Horner
Home Track: Cottage Grove Speedway
Hometown: Cottage Grove, Oregon
Occupation: Timber Faller
Age: 32
Years Racing: 15
Classification: Northwest Extreme Sprint
Team: Horner Racing
Car: 75H
Chassis: Maxim
Sponsors: Horner's Inc., Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply, Brian Crockett Motorsports
BD: Well Danny life has been definitely busy for you with the start of a family and everything.
DH: For sure. I got married to my wife Trisha in 2011 and our son Andrew is now three soon to be four. They are really the ones that want me to keep racing. Andrew's got a couple of laps in a Kart under his belt but isn't quite ready yet to race. I don't think it will be too long before he's out probably not this summer but maybe the following summer.
BD: The last couple of years you've made a few appearances at Cottage Grove in a Limited Sprint. Are you planning to do that in 2014?
DH: We're kind of on the fence with money, equipment, etc. on what we're going to do. I definitely want to race the Marvin Smith Memorial and run as much as we can. With the way the schedule is set it still gives me a chance to go camping and do stuff with the family. I might even have my brother Steven hop in the car if I can't drive one night. But if we don't tear any equipment up we should be able to make most of the races.
BD: Fans who have watched you run through the years may remember your start in the Limited Sprints but I remember you running in the Kage Karts. When did you exactly get started in them?
DH: I started in Karts when I was about ten. What started it all was a guy named Bill Farley, who was working with my dad, had a go-kart and drove it around the work parking lot. That's when my dad got bit by the bug. He got one for my older brother Ron and then got one me and then my little brother Steven. Pretty soon Scott Bangle and Rick Pallin got them too and it just started to grow from there.
I ran them for about eight years and started out in the 5HP Briggs before moving up to 125cc, then to 250cc and then eventually to the 500cc class. I primarily ran Cottage Grove and Roseburg, both indoor and their outdoor track (Diamond Speedway) that they had. We also ran Lebanon, Corvallis Indoor, Albany Indoor, Red Bluff down in California a couple times, and even over in Prineville sometimes.
I didn't get started racing Sprint Cars until I was eighteen. I think my dad would have put me in one when I was sixteen but I opted to get a pickup truck before a Sprint Car. Scott Bangle had found out that Jesse Thistle had a car for sale and sweet talked my dad into getting me one. We put a motor together and the rest is history.
BD: Some people that really know you may know the answer to this question, but why do you race the #75H?
DH: Me and my brothers were big fans of Marvin and Dale Smith. Ron picked #41 so I went with #75. All of us brothers really looked up to both Marvin and Dale when we were growing up and watching them race, in fact we still do.
BD: In 2006 you won both the Northern Sprint Tour and Cottage Grove Speedway championships. Would you say that was your biggest achievement?
DH: I think so, I mean it was definitely the best year we ever had. Before the season started around here we went to Oklahoma and Arkansas to race and ended up going to California a little bit.
When we won the NST championship it was pretty close. I think I only won it by four points over Roger Crockett even though Roger won the race on the final night at Yakima. Our mag came loose during the main and I couldn't restart worth a darn and fell back to third but on a long run I could go full speed. If I would have dropped one more spot I would have lost the title. I ended up having a heck of a race with Joe Ramaker for second and I ended up getting by him. I had so much fun in that race Yakima is such a cool track.
BD: When you got injured back in 2007 it really hurt your neck pretty bad. How is your body doing now seven years down the road and do you have to get it checked on at all?
DH: I had a burst fracture to my C-5 vertebrae. I've went back to the doctors a few times and they said it looked good. It feels good and it doesn't seem to give me any problems.
BD: I know everyone must ask you this question all the time and feel free to say pass if you don't want to answer it. Do you think there will be any chance of you returning to racing fulltime at some point or will it most likely just be an every now and then kind of thing?
DH: I don't see myself racing fulltime but you never know. We just want to go out there and have some fun on the weekends.
The Cottage Grove Speedway is set to host a test and tune play day on Saturday April 5th while the first race of the year is planned for the following Saturday on the 12th. Log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com for news stories and articles related to the upcoming 2014 campaign.

In a sovereign desktop app with multi-level undo/redo (ie Photoshop, Word, etc), would being able to save and restore the undo history of a file with the file itself be a good thing or a bad thing? My initial reaction is "good", however I've found I occasionally hold Control+Z until it stops working to revert to a previous version. Any studies or experience with this?
One example of such an application is IntelliJ IDEA (and some other programming environments). In addition to the usual project-specific external revision control, IDEA has a user-specific local history which saves a revision of every file on every save (the history is stored inside the user's home directory). The old revisions are stored by default for 3 active work days, after which the old revisions are removed. Coupled with the feature of automatically saving all files every few seconds (my preference is after being idle for 5 seconds), this means that you will never need to think about saving files, and you can always get back the old data. It's a real lifesaver when programming. (Sometimes I also use it to find out how many hours I've worked on a project, to record my work hours, because the local history shows the date and time of every change.)
An external revision control is still needed, but for other needs - there you will commit changes typically when you get some consistent piece of work done, at least once every 1-2 hours, and it's also a way to distribute your changes to other team members and to make backups. The local history on the other hand is for recovering from mishaps a few seconds or minutes after it happened.
I think that many other programs would benefit from a similar local history. I would love it if my Office Suite would have it, because a undo/redo stack and manually saving the files are very primitive ways of recovering lost data (they don't allow selective recovery and they don't survive restarting the program). I also remember seeing an image editing application (I don't remember the name - I think it was only for Mac), where all edits were done as transformations of the original picture, and you could at any time go back to change any of the previous edits. So such an history is possible even with image editing.
I don't think that I would want the history to be stored inside the file being edited - otherwise it would get very big (a revision every couple of seconds; my local history for programming projects I've worked on within one year is 370 MB) and it could cause a security problem by leaking data which you thought you removed - but a per-user history would be great.
every once in a while I wish photoshop or word had such functionality, On the other hand like you said I often press control-z until it stops.
Another issue is performance. Think a draft word document being passed around and edited for weeks. It would be huge! and take forever to load.
Yet another issue is privacy. I don't want people to see what steps I took to paint the picture in Photoshop, or what my previous proposal to the board was.
In conclusion, I think it can be nice but you would have to have a way to purge the history for performance sake and for privacy and also perhaps if a person presses ctrl-z you should stop when you hit the state the doc was when it was last opened and ask if he is sure he wants to continue.
It seems to me that you don't want undo/redo, but file versioning, or revision control. (I don't know about Photoshop, but Word has this feature, disabled by default).
Perhaps a timeout on undo that defaults to 5 minutes (and may or may not be an editable timeout length)? It would address the very valid concerns that people have here about the value of undo data days/weeks/months later. And it would address the issue brought up here of accidentally closing an application and losing the undo data. And would maintain the value of holding down Ctrl+Z to clear out all changes during the "session" (where now a "session" means any usage that has inactivity less than 5 minutes at a time)
Personally I think it is bad. A Version control system would be better for this. I don't think users expect undo to work this way. I don't see how they can remember what is in their undo stack back several days. And potentially this can eat up a lot of disk space and memory in your app. I mean users essentially never get rid of data. How do you deal with use cases where users want to free space on their hard disk because they are running low?
I like this a lot, for small and larger projects.
Google Chrome when you restore a tab you accidentally closed, will come with full back history - which is awesome in its own right.
Some productive applications build their artifacts from a stack of actions, like 3D modelling where you apply operations in an endless stack and can then go in and change earlier operations and have that change propagate through the stack to the current modifier. The file format is then based upon the flow of actions, not on an end result.
Any application where it's not obvious to "publish" a final or public version of an artifact however would incur a lot of risk. Like if you send a word document with complete history of changes that would offend the receiver (like an offer where you've changed the client name from another client or whatnot).
My feeling is that this is the wrong tool for the job. Undo and Redo is about the actions within this process, so that I can undo/redo an action before I save and move on. Saving across sessions seems to me to be a different requirement, versioning is more the style. I can see there is a place for keeping the redo stack with a saved version of a file/application, meaning that you could open a version and immediately undo the previous actions, but when you start do more actions, you lose this - the stack is restarted.
I can see that it would be useful - I can see some times that I would like it - but I still think that it is not the right useage of this facility.

I've have written a guide on how to implement your own DSL made in Eclipse MF with RSyntaxTextArea. This is the first draft, so there are no images or tables. This is part of master thesis, so I will populate it with images and rewrite a couple of time this semester, but thought I could share it with the community and see/hear/read what people think. It would also be very cool if someone would try to use this guide to implement a language.
For now I'll just link to my master blog over at tumblr, but I can post it here if people want that; http://thingmlosf.tumblr.com/post/41209 ... xttextarea

The 5 Most Misguided April Fools' Pranks of All Time
April Fools' Day is great in concept. The problem is that a very large portion of the population has no idea what a prank actually is, or how they work. And while it's merely annoying that most of your co-workers think a "prank" is nothing more than a random, pointless lie, there are always those few who go too far in the other direction.
#5. Those Wacky Husseins!
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
We need to make something clear right now: This article itself is not an April Fools' prank -- everything below actually happened, as far as we know (always feel free to check our sources). We have to tell you that now, because everything in this entry sounds like bad, gruesome parody. It's not -- Saddam Hussein's regime really was a bunch of wacky pranksters.
For instance, on April 1, 1998, the Babil newspaper (owned by Saddam's brutal son Uday) quoted President Bill Clinton in a front page story, saying the U.S. had decided to lift sanctions against Iraq. This was potentially lifesaving news for impoverished Iraqis living under the strict sanctions, so you can only imagine their tears of joy ... which quickly dried when they turned to page two and saw, "April Fools'! It is the beginning of spring. Many happy returns!" Ha! You starving kids just got Uday'd!
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"Dude, next year, you should pretend to be Freddie Mercury, announcing that you faked your AIDS."
Uday had a whole year to think about how to top himself, and on April 1, 1999, the paper's fake headline stated that monthly food rations would now include bananas, Pepsi, and chocolate. You can guess how that thigh slapper went over.
But then, like all great comedians, the Husseins eventually started recycling material, reusing the crowd-pleasing sanction gag in 2000 and the oh my aching sides! ration one in 2001. Unfortunately, Captain Bringdown, er, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdula Aziz bin Abdullah Al al-Sheikh ground the clown car to a halt by banning April Fools' Day altogether in 2001 for some strange reason.

But there would be one last hurrah for the wacky Iraqi pranksters. In March of 2003, Iraq was invaded by a coalition of forces led by the U.S. and UK. As thousands of American-led coalition troops stormed across Iraq, the Iraqi Ambassador to Russia, Abbas Khalaf Kunfuth, held a press conference. It was expected he would announce that Iraq conceded defeat. Instead he held up a piece of paper that he identified as a news flash from Reuters and read, "The Americans have accidentally fired a nuclear missile into British forces, killing seven ..."
He paused, to allow the reporters to absorb the horror of the situation, before shouting, "April Fools'!"
"Suck my fucking joke, dickheads! Choke on it!"
Again, we want to make it clear: That absolutely happened.
#4. Playboy Runs a "How To Beat Your Wife" Guide
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
There was a time when a respectable publication could joke about domestic abuse and everyone would just have a good-natured laugh about it (after all, isn't that what The Honeymooners was about?). That time was not the year 2000.
On April Fools' Day of that year, the Romanian edition of Playboy published an article giving their readers some handy tips on how to beat their wives senseless, a piece easily identified by its title: "How to Beat Your Wife without Leaving Prints." In this, men were advised to grab them by the hair to make sure they couldn't get away, and then hit them with a variety of items including sticks, washing machine belts, and kitchen knives. Ha! Just the kind of gentle ribbing we all love on this fine holiday!
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
"Remember when you said I was a huge nerd for buying this ridiculous knife and a subscription to Playboy?"
Oh, and the tips were ostensibly provided by an ex-policeman, so readers could be sure that no one could ever find out about their heinous acts of fuckshittery. Meanwhile, men who showed hesitation at the thought of beating their women to within an inch of their lives were told to take up knitting, apparently because they aren't cut out for being a REAL MAN.
Now, this would have been considered a shitty and grossly-offensive piece of satire if it had been published in any other country. But in Romania, this was just a step shy of bringing Nicolae Ceausescu back to life to conduct the beatings himself. You have to understand that at the time, Romania just happened to have one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the world, a situation exacerbated by widespread poverty and a poor education system. And, while we don't mean to sound creepy here, those tips look pretty goddamn authentic.
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
Overlooking Brasov is called a "Romanian warning."
Rightly, an almighty shitstorm soon ensued, with protests taking place in the country's capital of Bucharest that were supported by 51 organizations all over the world. Playboy apologized and pledged to donate money to a variety of anti-domestic violence programs, including those that would provide shelters for victims, some of which it may or may not have sent there.
True to form, however, one of the Editors responsible for the piece tried to defend it by saying that the tips wouldn't have worked anyway, making this whole "hate crime" thing completely moot. That's right, he'll surely figure out that beating a woman with a kitchen knife doesn't work! It just kills her! April fool!

"And then I was all bleeding and screaming -- holy crap, that was theteh best prank ever!"
#3. The Classic '"Fake Your Own Death'" Bit
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
You know who doesn't celebrate April Fools'? Cops. Much to the surprise of pranksters everywhere, "April Fools'" is actually not a valid defense in court. So before you plan your wacky prank, please make sure the thing you're doing isn't against the law. For instance, did you know that in many places it's a crime to fake your own death? It's true! Damn it, it's political correctness run amok!
So, it was April of 2004 and a guy named Randy Wood from rural New York decided he would play a prank on his ex-wife. In a stunt that we're pretty sure could have accidentally killed him for real at several points, he rigged up a harness in a tree in his front yard, with a fake noose, to make it look like he had hanged himself. He calls her up and tells her to come over, because he had something to show her. Then he climbs the tree and manages to get himself into his fake suicide setup without actually murdering himself in the process.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Nope, nothing could possibly go wrong here at all.
Of course, it's impossible to know exactly how he thought this would play out. Remember, this was his ex-wife. Did he think she would run up in tears and hug his lifeless body, and suddenly remember how much she missed him? Or did he think she would scream in horror, at which point he would open his eyes and say "BOO!" and try to induce a heart attack?
Because what actually happened is his wife did what you're supposed to do when you see somebody dangling by their goddamned neck from a tree limb: She called 911. Then they sent fire trucks, ambulances, and cop cars to the scene. At which point Wood had to either admit that it was all a stupid prank, or try to pretend that he had tried to kill himself with a harness that looped around his crotch due to a gross misunderstanding of human anatomy.

"No, keep explaining. Every word you say is dramatically helping your case."
As it turns out, faking an incident to dispatch emergency services is punishable by a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail. "He said he did it as an April Foo's' joke, but obviously it's not a funny matter," Sherriff Reuel Todd said. Damn, we guess they set the bar pretty high in West Monroe.

Is state ready for hospital takeovers?
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's veto of a bill facilitating the acquisition of Waterbury Hospital, a nonprofit institution, by Vanguard Health Systems Inc., a profit-seeking corporation, has prompted questioning of his motives.
The bill easily passed the legislature, the governor's office helping to negotiate it. But hospital workers' unions appealed to the governor afterward with concerns that the acquisition would threaten their jobs. So now, having vetoed the bill and likely blocking the acquisition while leaving the hospital in financial trouble, as many hospitals are, Malloy again is being accused of being a pushover for organized labor.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Studies have long held that breastfeeding lowers the risks babies will develop things like infections, allergies - even diabetes.
But in Kansas, CDC figures from 2011 show, of the 75 percent of moms who start breastfeeding, only 41 percent are still breastfeeding at six months - and only about ten percent are breastfeeding exclusively for that length of time as recommended...
A new effort aims to boost those numbers.
Stormont-Vail pediatric hospitalist Dr. Steven Crouch is among those involved with the High 5 for Mom and Baby campaign. Crouch says hospitals play a role in making the breastfeeding experience easier.
The United Health Ministry Fund in conjunction with the Kansas Hospital Association are spearheading the effort. It covers five things hospitals can do to help moms establish breastfeeding and successfully continue it.
The first is encouraging skin to skin contact. Crouch says the warmth of the mother, along with her smells and sounds, are comforting to the baby and trigger the natural tendency to want to nurse.
The next two items are aimed at not confusing the baby while they get the hang of breastfeeding. Those are no pacifiers for at least the first two weeks (after that, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends putting babies down to sleep with a pacifier to reduce risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and hold off on bottle feeding as long as possible. Crouch says the process of getting nutrition from a breast is different than a bottle so it confuses the baby to be switching back and forth too soon.
The fourth item on the list is "rooming in." Unless there's a medical reason, the little ones should stay in mom's hospital room. Crouch says the practice keeps mom close at hand when baby needs to feed and also allows the mother to learning baby's clues for when he is hungry.
Finally, mom and baby should leave the hospital armed with resources for help, such as La Leche Leagues or the hospital's breastfeeding clinic.
Crouch says, if there's a concern or a problem, a mother might start to feel insecure and coming back to a place where someone can help them through the issues and dispel an misinformation can build confidence and help a woman to stick with breastfeeding.
The next phase of the campaign involves training hospital staffs around the state about the five key points.

With ICS my phone now ALWAYS mounts my SD card as an external drive when I plug it into a computer. Sometimes I just want power, especially if I am trying to play a game that's on my SD card. Under the previous version I had the option to connect JUST for charging, without talking to the computer at all. Is there a way to get this functionality back w/ an ICS device?
With Android 4.0 ICS, charge only mode is no longer available.
Unfortunately there's no app to deal with this issue AFAIK.
You can try, but I believe that this isn't possible with your phone, but for future readers, placing the phone in "media transfer mode", allows access to SD cards on both phone and computer.
Further into this matter
One can always disable the "automount" feature from the host OS:
Windows 7
You can plug the phone in and charge it using a powered USB hub that's not connected to a computer, this will just charge without mounting drives.
It sounds like something you probably won't have handy, but have a look at your PC's screen. Many modern screens have powered USB sockets, but aren't actually connected to the PC (unless you plug a second USB A->B cable between the screen and PC which many people never do).
I charge my phone at work this way by plugging it into the screen, as we're not allowed to plug un-approved USB devices into our PCs (and if we do they're actively blocked).
From your home screen go to your settings. Depending on the phone ( I have the HTC EVO Design 4G for Boost Mobile) you should see an option for "Connect to PC". Select this option and you should see two things. The first is "Default Connection Type" and the second is "Ask me". Ask me will have a box beside that you would check. Once checked and you exit back tothe home screen any time you connect to your PC itwill bring up the prompt again.

Dec. 6, 2012 -- Popping a painkiller such as ibuprofen to ward off exercise pain or anticipated pain is a common practice among athletes of many ability levels.
Some think it will also improve performance as it reduces pain.
But the practice may be hazardous, according to new research that focused on the use of the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen before and after workouts.
"We conclude that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) consumption by athletes is not harmless and should be discouraged," writes Kim van Wijck, MD, a surgical resident at ORBIS Medical Center, Maastricht, the Netherlands.
She found ibuprofen aggravated exercise-induced injury in the small intestine in healthy, trained men who were used to endurance workouts. "We used only two oral doses of ibuprofen, in the evening and in the morning before the exercise, and did see small intestinal cellular damage," she says.
"This damage was fully reversible approximately one hour after cessation of the exercise bout," van Wijck says.
She worries, however, about long-term use and its effects.
The study is published in the December issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
Painkillers Before Exercise: Study Details
For the study, van Wijck evaluated nine healthy, trained men. On average, they were age 27.
They typically spent three to 10 hours weekly in endurance sports. She assessed them on four occasions to look at the effect of ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). In four sessions, they:
- Took 400 milligrams of ibuprofen twice before cycling an hour
- Cycled an hour without taking ibuprofen
- Took 400 mg of ibuprofen twice while at rest
- Rested without taking ibuprofen
In previous research, van Wijck showed that exercise reduces blood flow in the gastrointestinal system. It is also known that NSAIDs like ibuprofen can reduce blood flow.
In the new study, she evaluated indicators of intestinal injury after each of the four sessions. Both ibuprofen and cycling resulted in higher levels of these indicators. Levels were higher after cycling with ibuprofen than after any of the other three conditions.
The combination of ibuprofen and exercise also decreased what experts call ''gut barrier function," possibly resulting in bacteria escaping from the intestines into the blood.
