Mexican slurs add insult to injury
Dear Readers: I was supposed to deliver this column to ustedes for Cinco de Drinko, but then Arizona's reprehensible SB1070 reared its ugly head. I could devote this column to that issue again, but Mexican-hating is a national sport, and we must darle chingazos wherever it pops out. Big shout-outs, though, to the Phoenix Suns for coming out en masse against the resolution, and the City of Tucson for suing its home state over the pendejada. Root for the former, and eat a bacon-wrapped hot dog in honor of the latter — and don't boycott either of them.
The issue before us: regional anti-Mexican slurs. A couple of weeks ago, I asked ustedes to share with me your home region's unique way of insulting Mexicans — in other words, hyper-local synonyms for wetback, beaner and other anti-Mexican slurs. My theory was that I would receive many, and my theory was proven correct. But like any good Mexican, I pirated that theory from someone else. "The number and nature of nicknames and particularly derogatory nicknames for particular ethnic groups in America is a reflection of the strengths of the ethnic conflicts in which they have been involved and the kinds of ill-feeling that such conflicts generate," wrote Christie Davies in her 2002 study of ethnic humor, The Mirth of Nations.
Below, in alphabetical order, are some of the better ones, followed by the region from which each slur originates and its etymology, if any. If your home town's way of hating Mexicans isn't listed, e-mail it to me, por favor!
Brazer: Chicago. Shortened version of bracero ("fieldworker"), a term most famously known in the United States under the auspices of the Bracero Program. This agreement between the American and Mexican governments, lasting from 1942 through 1964, officially brought cheap Mexican labor into the United States and helped kick off in earnest the Reconquista. Made famous in Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street.

Bronc: Santa Barbara, California. No known etymology.
Bully: Inland Empire, California. Refers to the bull decals wabs put on trucks.
Cheddar: Denver. An Anglicized shortening of chero, itself an elided way of saying ranchero ("farmer").
Chicali: Coachella Valley, California. A shortened version of Mexicali, the Mexican city two hours away.
Chook: Readers across the border region spanning New Mexico to McAllen, Texas, sent this in. It's short for pachuco, a slur against Mexican youth during the 1940s that was eventually appropriated by them and turned into the iconic zoot suit-wearing chuco suave.
Chopa/Chopita: The former comes from California's wine country, with sources ranging from Sonoma to Napa; the latter is more prominent in the San Francisco Bay Area. Etymology unknown.
Fronchis: El Paso, Texas. An abbreviation derived from "Frontera Chihuahua," the legend printed on license plates for cars in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, just across the United States-Mexico border.
Jagger: California's Central Valley. One theory says it's a badly mispronounced version of llegar ("to come") and refers to recently arrived wabs.
Mojarra: I received multiple entries for this word from the Dallas area, but I've heard mojarra uttered in other areas as well. The word is a play on mojado ("wetback"), as mojarra is the Spanish word for tilapia.
Paisa: American prisons. Short for paisano ("countryman"), this is actually a widespread slur but has a distinct definition in our prison system, referring to inmates born in Mexico to differentiate them from the Mexican cons born in the United States ("raza").
TJ: Oxnard, California. Acronym for Tijuana.
Wab: Orange County, California. No known etymology; theories range from it being an acronym for "went across border" to wab deriving from the classic anti-Italian slur "wop." The only problem with the latter explanation is that la naranja historically has had little Italian immigration and thus has as much reason to hate guidos as Know Nothing Arizonans do the Klan.
Webber: East Los Angeles. Though comments on urbandictionary.com suggest it derives from "wetback," the Mexican theorizes it's probably related to "wab." After all, until Arizona beat us last month, who knew how to hate Mexicans better than Orange County?

wikiHow to Dip Oreos in Chocolate
Chocolate dipped Oreo cookies are very popular at holiday time. Making your own is easy. You can make plain chocolate dipped Oreo cookies, or you can add your own special touches to the cookies to make them decorative and special for the holidays. You will follow a few basic steps to dip Oreo cookies in chocolate.
1Choose the type of Oreo cookies you would like to dip. There are choices other than regular Oreo cookies. You may want to try double stuffed, mint flavored, or there are different colors of Oreo fillings available for the holidays.
2Decide what type of chocolate you will use for dipping. Dark chocolate goes well with most Oreo cookies, but some people prefer white chocolate. You may want to purchase a white chocolate that has been colored, or you can color the chocolate yourself by adding a few drops of food coloring to the white chocolate as it is melting. For example, you may want to try green for St. Patrick's Day or red for Valentine's Day.
3Purchase either almond bark chocolate coating or candy melting wafers. You can also melt 9 oz. (255 g) chocolate chips with 1 1/2 tbsp. (23 ml) solid vegetable shortening.
4Place wax paper or parchment paper on a cookie sheet. This is where you will put the Oreo cookies after they are dipped in chocolate.
5Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave. Microwave at 30 second intervals, stopping and stirring each time. A double boiler can also be used to melt the chocolate. Begin dipping Oreo cookies immediately when chocolate is melted and smooth.
6Dip each Oreo cookie in the melted chocolate with a fork. Completely cover the Oreo with the chocolate by turning it with the fork or using a spoon to help spread chocolate over the cookie. Try to let any excess chocolate drip from the Oreo after it is dipped in chocolate, and then place it on your prepared cookie sheet. As an alternate method, you may want to use your fingers and dip only half of the Oreo cookies.
7Sprinkle the cookies with decorative candy sprinkles or colored sugar immediately after placing on the cookie sheet, if desired. You may also decorate with an alternate color of chocolate by drizzling the desired color back and forth across the top of the cookie. An example of this would be white chocolate covered Oreo cookies drizzled with pink. Some people even like to use this method with dark chocolate drizzled over dark chocolate.
8Allow cookies to harden. You can speed up the hardening process by placing the cookies in the refrigerator. Once the cookies have hardened, remove them from the cookie sheet and place in a closed container to store. If you are giving these as a gift, you could individually wrap them in cellophane bags and tie with decorative ribbon.

That wasn't enough for many angry supporters of the breast cancer charity, including Jennifer Williamson, a board member who resigned in protest.
"I couldn't stand by and watch the national leadership playing politics with women's health care," says Williamson, a Democratic state House candidate and long-time supporter of Planned Parenthood. She openly criticized the local Komen chapter for being too passive about the national group's foray into abortion politics.
But Williamson rethought her position. Last week, she asked to rejoin the board.
"I'm hoping that I can help be an ambassador to women who feel like the national leadership acted inappropriately," Williamson says.
The local affiliate hopes other angry supporters will return, much like Williamson.
Dozens of supporters initially vowed to withhold further donations, sounding off on Komen Oregon's Facebook page. Some continue to express doubts.
"While I applaud our local affiliate's rejection of the national Komen stance, I am still not prepared to support the organization," one posted. Others say they won't resume support until the national organization replaces its entire leadership.
Komen has lost other local supporters who oppose abortion. Some weren't aware that Planned Parenthood has received funding from Komen and were angry when Komen resumed funding Planned Parenthood's breast examinations. "I am sure that Planned Parenthood has done some good, but it can never make up for the horror of abortion," one critic commented on Facebook. "I will never support the Koman foundation with anything ever again!"
It so happens Planned Parenthood clinics never sought money from Komen's Oregon and Southwest Washington affiliate. But Williamson says the two organizations have worked together on women's health, for example, advocating for the Oregon Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act, which gives uninsured and low-income women diagnosed with those cancers access to medical assistance from the state.
Komen Oregon's board chair, Marta Monetti, says board members agreed unanimously to oppose the national funding decision. The national group adopted a policy against funding any organization under government investigation. Planned Parenthood was the only recipient affected; a Florida congressman, pressed by anti-abortion groups, is investigating whether Planned Parenthood used federal money to pay for abortions.
Monetti says the policy went overboard: "We want to be good stewards of our donors money but we felt that was way too restrictive."
"It seemed ridiculous to us," says Christine McDonald, Komen Oregon's chief executive officer, who is stepping down in April. She says her decision to leave is personal and not related to the controversy. She plans to remain active as a volunteer with Komen Oregon and make herself available as a consultant during transition to a new executive.
Komen Oregon's budget grew from $1.9 million to nearly $10 million during McDonald's seven-year tenure. She says it's too early to know how the Planned Parenthood controversy will affect the bottom line. McDonald says reservations for the group' $55-a-plate Lunch for the Cure in April are on track to equal last year's. Interest in Race for the Cure events, by far the largest fundraisers, will be a bigger test.
Winning back supporters whose trust in Komen has been lost won't be easy, Monetti says.
"I don't think there is any fancy communication effort that's going to address those issues people have. We have to forge ahead with our mission," she says.

Think of the forth annual DesCours exhibition as the interior/exterior design (décor) equivalent of the Fringe Fest.
Instead of charmingly kooky, experimental plays scattered in out-of-the-way locations, DesCours — an event by the New Orleans chapter of the American Institute of Architects — is a series of equally charming, equally kooky experimental architectural environments hidden in little-seen spots from the French Quarter to the Warehouse District.
The DesCours installations may be architecture but don't expect steel, glass and stucco; the cutting-edge designers tend to toy with next-generation technology. I'm told that one of this years' environments, by Gernot Riether, is supposed to envelope visitors in a cocoon-like inflating cavern. Another, by Doris Sung, is a structure made from a material that, I am told, transforms automatically with the temperature, expanding and contracting as if it were breathing.
As DesCours founder Melissa Urcan puts it, the event is "a platform for experimentation." The science-fictionish displays, she says, demonstrate "in a small scale the future possibilities of new architecture."
Watch Urcan describe DesCours 2009 in a video here.
One of the things that makes the exhibits so seductive, however, is that these futuristic designs are installed in age-worn historical sites that average New Orleanians don't ordinarily visit, thereby satisfying what Urcan calls the "simple voyeur" in all of us. Among the sites are the old Woolworth's dime store and Joy Theater, both on Canal Street. Some occupy private French Quarter courtyards. Part of the fun is the hide-and-go-seek aspect of wandering the streets in search of the scattered locations. And all of DesCours takes place after dark, lending the affair a certain nocturnal romance.
For adventuresome culture-cravers, DesCours is a night (or nights) out that won't soon be forgotten. Here are a few of my favorite memories of DesCours past:
Watch art critic Doug MacCash recommend DesCours in this "Times-Picks" weekend entertainment preview.
There were those big flat Plexiglas boxes filled with clear jelly upon which geometric designs were drawn in living algae by a computer plotter — the work of Allison Kudla — displayed in a tropical Vieux Carre courtyard.
There was that weird inflated white tent with six space suits sprouting from the sides — by Mary Hale — that looked something like a surrealistic Macy's Day parade balloon anchored near a French Quarter penthouse pool.
And best of all, there was the shadowy bank lobby on Carondelet Street, where thin shafts of flashing lights magically transfigured into hovering lizards, eyeballs and geometric shapes with the sideward shake of your head — by Hideyuki Ando, Tetsutoshi Tabata, Maria Adriana Verdaasdonk and Junji Watanabe.
In each case, the designers managed to beautifully blend avant architectural arts with old-time New Orleans dreaminess. And this year the experience promises to be even better, if for no other reason than it's twice as long.
Urcan said that the one-weekend schedule of past DesCours was too short, especially if there's a rainy day like last year. The new 10-day schedule that spans two weekends will, she hopes, allow for more word-of-mouth buzz to build.
Not that last years' exhibit wasn't well attended. DesCours is free, so there's no exact count of paid attendance, but according to Urcan's estimate, roughly 10,000 architectural arts lovers sought out the DesCours sites. She hopes the event, which has a budget of $132,000, will lure 15,000 this year.
For the first time, Urcan plans guided tours of the sites on the first Saturday and Sunday at 6 and 8 p.m., with the guest architects in attendance. Foot tours are $20 per person, bus tours (Sunday only) are $40. Both begin at the AIA Center of Design at 1000 St. Charles Avenue at Lee Circle. Depending on the popularity of the tours, Urcan said they may be repeated on the second weekend.
It's impossible to say which sites will be the DesCours 2010 standouts, but having studied the thumbnail descriptions on the website, I'm most intrigued by the plan by the Chicago firm Luftwerk to suspend thousands of black bird feathers in the Joy Theater at 1200 Canal St., upon which they will project video images of flight.
Urcan said she hopes that DesCours helps prove that "New Orleans is really a cultural city to be reckoned with." It's been my experience that her architectural treasure hunt may be the most otherworldly of all of the Crescent City's annual cultural outings.
What: Futuristic architectural décor experiments presented at 14 "hidden" historic sites, with live music in some locations.
When: Saturday through Dec. 12, from 6 to 10 nightly.
Admission: Free. Guided walking tours are $20 (cocktails included) and available Saturday and Sunday at 6 and 8 p.m., beginning at 1000 St. Charles Ave. A two-part bus tour of the above-and-below Canal Street sites is available on Sunday for $40. The first part begins at 6 p.m.; the second at 8 p.m. Call 504.525.8320 for details.
Where: Scattered locations in the French Quarter and Central Business District. Site No. 1 is the American Institute of Architects Center for Design at 1000 St. Charles Ave. at Lee Circle, where maps will be available. A map of all 14 DesCours sites can be found at descours.us. Call 504.525.8320. Look for a list of sites below.

Municipal campus proposal delayed
POULSBO Little Norways proposed municipal campus remains on track despite not making the scheduled Oct. 19 final presentation date. No date has been announced yet.
After the Sept. 27 open house, during which the initial site plan for the 10th Avenue location was presented, the municipal campus planning committee was expected to have any issues raised during that presentation resolved in time for tonights city council meeting.
That didnt happen.
However, Councilwoman Connie Lord said thats not necessarily a bad thing.
I didnt feel comfortable with all the information I had from a decision-making standpoint, Lord said, noting that as a member of the municipal campus planning committee, she had expressed some concerns about the proposal.
The delay should allow the architects from BLRB Architects in Tacoma more time to address the issues, so the council can make a better decision, she said.
Its not stopped at all, its just delayed so we can get more information, she said.
Even though its not exactly on schedule, the opportunity to purchase the land that will house the municipal campus from Olympic Resource Management has not been affected by the delay, she said, confirming that the opportunity still exists.
Among the issues being addressed during the postponement are the cost-model analysis, potential district court needs and further geotechnical study on the site, Lord said.
Mayor Donna Jean Bruce said while she didnt know the exact reason for the delay, the municipal campus project is still moving forward.
Councilwoman Kathryn Quade said she was heartened to hear about the delay of the final presentation on the municipal campus.
I dont think we need to rush this process and we need to make sure were doing the right thing at the right time, Quade said.
Councilman Ed Stern, who asked fellow council members on Aug. 17 to decide what direction they wanted to go with the municipal campus, said he felt the fact the council had a definite direction it was moving in was more important than the delay.
We know what were going to do and where and how soon, not when that I can live with, Stern said.

Posted on March 19, 2014
Post-menopausal women who smoke or have smoked in the past may have an increased risk of breast cancer compared with women who have never smoked. The authors confirmed this association in over 186,000 women enrolled in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, of whom about 7,500 developed invasive breast cancer during almost 10 years of follow-up. A major strength of the study was that the authors were able to control for alcohol consumption, which is known to increase the risk of breast cancer, and is more common among smokers.

Priscilla and Kenneth Thomas have grown accustomed to their daughters excelling in just about everything they try. But the latest accomplishment by Asha and Aiyana Thomas surprised even their parents.
Just days after eighth-grader Asha, who turns 14 on Thursday, was named Folsom Junior High's Student of the Year, fifth-grader Aiyana, 10, beat out several candidates at Folsom Elementary for the same honor.
Neither Folsom Elementary Principal Lesa Bodnar nor Folsom Junior High Principal Sharon Garrett, who combined have been in the St. Tammany school system for decades, had ever heard of sisters winning the award in the same year.
"(Asha) came home and told me she won Student of the Year, and I was washing dishes, and I said, 'OK, that's great.' Then I realized, and I said, 'What did you say?' " Priscilla Thomas said. "And Aiyana, kept saying, 'Wouldn't it be great if I won, too?' ... We're so proud. We were so surprised."
Just stand within earshot of the girls for more than 30 seconds, and it's not very tough to point out their differences. Aiyana is the one stealing the show, and Asha doesn't seem to mind one bit.
When it comes to grades, rarely do either of them see anything but A's, but they even go about that in different ways.
"Asha will come home and do what she needs to do," Priscilla Thomas said. "Aiyana comes home and grabs the (video game). I'll say, 'Aiyana, did you do your homework?' And she'll say, 'Oh, I'll get to it.' I'll have to make her stop and do it.
No need to worry about any jealousy between the two, however. Asha seems to roll with it all, and loves her little sister, even when Aiyana raids her closet.
"We have our moments, and we usually get along well, but sometimes we're just typical sisters," Asha said. "I love her to death, but sometimes I just want to go in my little corner and read and tune her out."
Each school in St. Tammany Parish names a Student of the Year, and teachers nominate and vote for the winners. The school system then interviews each honoree and names its three parish-wide winners.
On Monday, Superintendent Trey Folse's office named fifth-grader Kaley Pichon of Bonne Ecole in Slidell as the top elementary student; eighth-grader Gabrielle Treigle of Slidell Junior High won in the junior high division; and senior Morgan Laurant of Fontainebleau was the high school winner.
Despite falling short of the parishwide honors, both Asha and Aiyana said they were excited to be top students together in their respective schools.
They seem to have everything in perspective, and that includes what their plans entail not only for the immediate future, but well beyond that.
Asha says she plans to be a journalist, while Aiyana has four professions in mind.
"I want to be a pediatrician, a veterinarian, a professional ballerina and a pro soccer player," she said. "I'm going to make millions."

Friday Things
1. Last Friday my Chief Culinary Consultant and I decided to take a much-needed fun day. We spent the morning watching the Penguins run their own hockey practice (ughhh, NHL lockout!), grabbed lunch at Ditka's (steakhouse burger!), then caught an afternoon matinee of Skyfall, the new James Bond movie. Ah-MAZING movie! Highly recommend! A few nights ago we went to see Argo, which was also a fantastic movie – my heart my racing the entire time! Next on my to-see list is Lincoln, then Jack Reacher, which was filmed in Pittsburgh. Movies tend to be feast or famine with me – there can be 6 to 8 months where nothing is released that looks remotely interesting to me, and then there's more than a handful I want to see all at once. What have you seen lately?
2. Good news! Instagram has finally enabled web profiles. That means if you aren't already following BEB on Instagram, now you can easily do so via the web. Follow, like and comment… all from your computer!
3. I'm not sure how much I've mentioned this before, but I am not a coffee drinker. When I say "not a coffee drinker," I mean that I actually hate the taste of coffee. You have to pour so much cream and sugar into a cup before I'll even go near it that it's downright sad. I've always equated drinking coffee with being a grown-up, so my total disdain for the drink makes me feel like I'm not quite grown up yet. Save a place for me at the kid's table next week; I'll be happy to drink some hot chocolate after dinner!
4. I'm plotting my Christmas picture with Einstein. We rocked reindeer antlers last year, but this year we might need to add lights! 😉
5. My grandma taught me how to crochet when I was pretty young, and it's something that I've picked up on and off over the years. I haven't made anything in quite some time, and was thinking that a homemade blanket would be a nice Christmas gift for my Chief Culinary Consultant's nana. I've been poking around for some new and different patterns, but haven't found anything I love just yet; feel free to share links below if you have 'em!
6. Yesterday I walked into Target with the intention of buying iced tea mix and a box of candy canes. I walked out with six bags. I don't know what happened. I saw Christmas plates in the $1 bins by the door, then bags of Christmas-themed candy, and the rest is a blur. Target, I wish I knew how to quit you.
7. Amen. Hallelujah.
8. I am officially caught up on all episodes of Homeland! It took me less than three weeks, and now I'm totally bummed that I have to wait for a new episode. Such an awesome show!
On another TV note, I caught the first episode of "The Men Who Built America" last weekend. It's a documentary series on the History Channel that chronicles the business empires of Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford, and how their innovations revolutionized the country from the end of the Civil War through the middle of the 20th century. I found it totally fascinating and can't wait to watch the next one (something new to catch up on!). Definitely check it out if you're looking for something new and different to watch!
9. I've been actively pinning things to my Healthy Living board over the past week or so… things like treadmill workouts and negative calorie foods. Great, right?! Wrong. The problem? I don't own a treadmill, nor do I belong to a gym. I also don't really care for most of the foods on that list. I'm really trying to motivate myself to work on a healthier diet and to exercise regularly… maybe Pinterest will lead me to the promised land 😉
10. TGIF! I so love this print!

We saw Argo this week too and really enjoyed it! Skyfall is next on my list, maybe later this weekend. Ditto to everything you said on #3 – even with ridiculous amounts of cream and sugar, I still won't go near the stuff and I was starting to think I was the only one 🙂 Love, love, love that someecard!
The golden pup picture made me laugh. My sister-in-law has one and the dog will let her do anything she wants. The first Christmas, she wrapped Sophie in lights and took a picture for the family Christmas card (the kids didn't make the cut that year!). For Halloween, they dressed her in a squirrel costume, which was fine until a black lab started chewing the costume right off of Sophie. Who needs kids? 🙂
I feel like you and I are soul sisters for the following reasons:
1. I also hate coffee and often feel left out because of it. I've become more of a tea drinker lately though, so that helps.
2. I much prefer appetizers and desserts (especially desserts) over main courses.
3. I refused to eat vegetables most of my life, and I now definitely prefer them in the cheesiest way possible.
4. I love love LOVE my dog.
I think we would be great friends haha!
I too have always associated coffee drinking with being grown up. Well I am old but guess I am not grown up as I still don't drink coffee. I feel so uncool that I don't hang out in coffee houses. But on the bright side by not hanging out in coffee houses spending way too much money on a cup of coffee I have more money to spend at Target!! And I totally feel the same about my résumé.
Have a great weekend!
Definitely check out Ravelry! I would recommend the Tweed Lap Afghan by Vanna White. You have to buy the pattern book, but it is super easy if you are just getting back to crocheting. If you do use that pattern, make sure you use at least one dark and one light color to make the stripes stand out.
I LOVE the last print, it is so true! Also Einstein in Lights, too cute! I wish my dogs would sit long enough for me to dress them up for Christmas! My Boy Lab gets so excited when I dress him up that he pees. He loves wearing hates, shirts, whatever gets him attention! What a weirdo! My Girl Golden Retriever hates anything on her. It makes her go bonkers and she rips it right off!
Have a great weekend!
I will give a thirds, (fourth?) recommendation for Ravelry, but also Natural Stitches in East Liberty (same plaza as Trader Joe's) for a local yarn shop. They are super friendly and knowledgeable and can help you pick out yarn. They have couches and chairs to hang out and chat and say "hey, am I doing this right?" which is so helpful when you are re-learning.
We loved Skyfall, and I'm dying to see Argo next.
I watched The Men Who Built America last weekend too. While I thought the show is well done, the images from the Jonestown flood and the attempted assassination on Henry Frick scared the beejesus out of me. I had to stay up and watch some late-night Food Network to calm myself down for sleep. 🙂
I love a good documentary and will have to check out that series of shows on the History Channel. My current addiction is Downton Abbey on PBS. I suppose you've seen it, but if not, I think you would enjoy it. I was able to get the first two seasons from the library. Season 3 starts January 6 – I am looking forward to it! Oh and by the way, I really enjoy your blog! Right now I am off to Target – honest. Last but not least, I have never been able to drink coffee, even when I worked the night shift. But why does it smell so good?!
I always think granny squares are the way to go for crocheted afghans. You crochet them one at a time (therefore they are very portable for commuting on the subway and/or bus) and then comes the tedious part of stitching them all together.
Actually, my favorite crocheted afghan pattern is the Harlequin Afghan in Jan Eaton's Crochet Basics. It's made up of hexagons, and on the last row of the hexagon you stitch them together (avoiding the tedious end-of-project sewing together). It's also portable, since you can complete most of a hexagon (except for the final round) while commuting.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (21Alive) - Parasailing accident victim, Sidney Good was released from an Indianapolis hospital Tuesday.
Sidney was released one week after her friend, and the other teen injured in the parasailing accident, Alexis Fairchild, was finally released to go home.
Sidney's parents, Eric and Amy Good, released a statement Tuesday:
With more than 37 days being spent in hospitals in Florida and Indiana, we are finally able to take our daughter home. Today Sidney is being released from Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) to return home where she will continue to recover from her injuries. She will need to continue therapies as an outpatient and will have frequent follow ups with her doctors going forward, but she will be home.
We are in a much better place with Sidney now than we were a month ago. Her recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. We thank God, the talented doctors and nurses as well as the therapists for her amazing progress. We would also like to thank everyone at home and around the country for all the prayers and support during these difficult weeks.
So now both girls are homeward bound after several surgeries and spending about a month in hospital care.
Alexis, 17, returned to IU Health Methodist Hospital two weeks ago to undergo more surgery on the injuries she sustained in the July 1 accident off Panama City Beach, Fla.
In a statement released through the hospital July 30th, Alexis' parents will continue her rehab in Northeast Indiana.
"Our daughter has a long road to recover," Michael & Angela Fairchild said. "She will receive IV treatments at home and will begin outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy in Fort Wayne."
She will have more surgery in the coming months, her parents says.
Alexis took to Twitter on Tuesday night with an update of her own.
"Thanks to all who's prayed," Alexis said in a note uploaded to her @fairteen account. "I'm just thankful to be coming home and blessed to be doing as good as I am!"
#UPDATE pic.twitter.com/akVAPag1Gf— alexis fairteen. (@fairteen) July 31, 2013
Statement from Michael & Angela Fairchild - July 30, 2013
"Alexis was released from IU Health Methodist hospital this evening and began her journey home to Huntington, IN. She will receive IV treatments at home and will begin outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy in Fort Wayne. Alexis will have another surgery in a couple months. Our daughter still has a long road to recovery.
"Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for all the prayers and support we have received from around the world. We would like to thank those who have arranged fundraising events and upcoming blood drives and motorcycle rides in our hometown in honor of our daughter and Sidney Good. We'd also like to thank the medical teams at IU Health Methodist who have cared for Alexis."

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- In this week's episode of Cool Science Monday, Martin Fisher from Science Central will talk about Bernoulli's Principle.
It is named after a Swiss mathematician in the 1700's Daniel Bernoulli. He researched air pressure. When air moves across a surface, it decreases the air pressure.
When Martin blew air across a piece of paper, it decreased the air on top of the paper, but the air pressure under the paper was greater, and pushed-up the paper. Next, I suspended a ping pong ball in an airstream from a hair dryer. The force of air pushed it up, the force of gravity pulled it down, the air moving across the sides of the ball decreased the pressure, so the higher air pressure in the room pushed in - and suspended the ball in a column of air.

BAY CITY, MI — Bay City Central's halls wouldn't be quite so hallowed without Bill Hewitt.
A plaque honoring Hewitt welcomes students as they enter the hallways each day, recognizing one of the very few Bay City football players who made it all the way to the National Football League.
That fraternity is about to grow by one.
Central graduate Trenton Robinson, a four-year standout at safety for Michigan State University, is projected to be selected in the NFL Draft, which runs Thursday through Sunday on ESPN.
If Robinson plays on Sundays, he'll join the ranks of Bay City football legends Jerry Leahy, Wayne Meylan, Dennis Wirgowski and Jim Kanicki and have his own hallowed place in local lore.
"I'll be paying attention to him and wishing him the best of luck," said Kanicki, a nine-year veteran of the NFL. "He's about to get a great opportunity in life."
While Bay City's contribution to the NFL is a short list, it's headlined by a Pro Football Hall of Famer in Hewitt. A Central star during the formative years of the sport, he went on to play end at the University of Michigan before going pro with the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers from 1932-43.
Known for being the last player to compete without headgear, he is credited for conjuring the lateral play that won the Bears the 1933 NFL championship.
Leahy was another Bay City native to make it to the top, although he played in only one game for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1957. A St. Joseph graduate, who later returned to coach his alma mater to a 9-0 season in 1960, he shined at tackle at the University of Colorado and was drafted in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions.
From 1963-73, Bay City produced five NFL draft picks, with Kanicki, Meylan and Wirgowski all going on to professional careers. Jerry List, the last Bay City native drafted when he went in 1973, and Rick Czap were selected but never played in an NFL game.
"I didn't expect to get drafted," said Wirgowski, an all-American at Central who went on to play at Purdue University. "I had an injured knee and I assumed I was done. The Bears came to Purdue and had a bunch of guys work out and I didn't even go."
Wirgowski saw game action at defensive end from 1970-73, playing three years with the New England Patriots and one season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He said he received a $3,000 signing bonus from the then-Boston Patriots after being selected in the ninth round.
"Back then there was no awe and shucks to (being drafted)," said the 64-year-old Wirgowski, who returned to the area after his playing days. "But now there is more of that because of the money. These guys are making millions a year. (If you) play five years, you live in a mansion."
Kanicki enjoyed the longest playing career among the Bay City players, lining up at defensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns for seven years and the New York Giants for two seasons after being a second-round draft pick out of Michigan State University in 1963.
"In the weeks leading up to the draft, a number of teams would come through and prod you," said Kanicki, now 70 and semi-retired from his steel business in Ashtabula, Ohio. "They'd measure you, run you through sprints and agility drills. I was 280 pounds, ran a 4.8 (40-yard dash) and was benching about 500 pounds back then, so I had a good feeling I was going to be selected pretty high.
"I wish I was 20 years old today, I wouldn't be working for a living."
Kanicki, who played in 116 games in his NFL career, played for a host of coaching icons, going from high school legend Elmer Engel at Central to college legend Duffy Daugherty at MSU to NFL legend Paul Brown with the Browns. But his biggest adjustment was going from fan to teammate of players he followed as a kid.
"I'm lockering next to Lou Groza, I'm two lockers away from Jim Brown and a few lockers away from Gene Hickerson. These guys are all Hall of Famers," Kanicki said. "You go from watching them on TV or reading about them in the paper to being in the same lockerroom and on the same field. I wasn't in awe of it, but I had a lot of respect for the people who were there."
Meylan came out of Bay City Handy and became a College Football Hall of Famer at linebacker for Nebraska. He was taken in the fourth round of the 1968 draft by the Browns and played 29 games over the next three seasons with Cleveland and Minnesota.
Another Bay City native to play NFL football was Troy Evans, who moved to Cincinnati when he was 11. Evans capped his eight-year career as the special teams captain for the New Orleans Saints as they won the Super Bowl in 2010.
Czap, a state wrestling champion at Central, was taken in the 12th round of the 1966 draft by the Browns after a his collegiate career as a tackle at Nebraska. List, the Handy grad who played tight end at Nebraska, went in the 11th round to the Oakland Raiders.
The only other Bay City players ever selected in the draft were Bob Allman and Jarv Walz. Allman was taken in the very first NFL draft in 1936. The Bay City Central and Michigan State University standout played one game with the Chicago Bears that season. Jarv, a Bay City Central and Central Michigan University graduate, was picked in the 24th round by the Lions in 1956 but never played an NFL game.
Three other Bay City players competed in the NFL in the pre-draft era, including Howard Auer and Cedric Smith of the University of Michigan and Arthur Beckley of Michigan State University. Auer played two games with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1933, Smith played two games with the Buffalo All-Americans and Milwaukee Badgers in 1923-24 and Beckley played five games with the Dayton Triangles in 1926.
Bay City has also had a host of players sign free agent contracts or have tryouts with NFL teams but never appeared in game action, such as All Saints grads Mike Panasuk and Gary Evans, St. Mary's Dick Corcoran, Bay City Western's Tony Grant and Bangor John Glenn's Brandon Geyer.
But now Bay City's NFL club is poised to welcome a new member as Trenton Robinson readies for the call.
"It would mean a lot to a lot of people around here," Wirgowski said. "It's good for the city to have another one after 40 years."

Ben Affleck helps out with the kids! Here's the actor-director playing Mr. Mom. Ben dropped Violet off at summer school. He brought Seraphina and their adorable dog along for the ride, too. Violet got quite a send-off yesterday- LOL.
We've seen Ben handling both of his daughters. I'm looking to see him step out solo with all three kids, like Jennifer Garner has done. Maybe he's practicing with taking the dog out with them ;-).

The next step in college athletes' attempt to form a union occurs Tuesday when Kain Colter, Northwestern's quarterback last season, states why he believes college players are employees.
Many people have made a similar statement before. They haven't done it before the National Labor Relations Board.
Hearings over the unionization attempt intensify this week in Chicago, where an NLRB regional office is hearing the case. The legal debate on whether college athletes can collectively bargain with universities figures to take years through many appeals. There are doubts whether the players' efforts will be successful.
For now, Colter -- who has become the face of the movement on behalf of Northwestern football players -- will be "the star witness," said Ramogi Huma, president of the College Athletes Players Association (CAPA). CAPA will attempt to prove that Division I athletes' responsibilities on and off the field are different from their academic work.
The idea of college athletes becoming employees has been bubbling for decades. And if Huma is to be believed, this historic attempt would not even be happening if the NCAA and its members had been more proactive in concussion management on behalf of players.
Huma, who founded the National College Players Association to support college athletes, said he has thought about pursuing a union since he played football at UCLA in the 1990s. But he wrestled with whether players had the necessary answers to important questions, including the NCAA's assertion that athletes are students first and thus not employees.
"We were concerned we might disrupt college sports in a major way," Huma said. "That wasn't the goal of this thing. Over the years, it's always been a consideration for me but it was never a goal. There were lots of unanswered questions. Could college sports afford it?"
What changed for Huma to pursue a union? He points to the NCAA's stance on concussion management compared to safety measures negotiated by the NFL Players Association with owners in recent years.
A year ago, Huma attempted to hold a news conference about concussions at the BCS Championship Game media hotel in Miami. He said the Marriott hotel pulled the plug on the event due to pressure from the BCS.
"That's what did it for me," Huma said. "I think that was kind of a turning point for me. I felt the only way college athletes would get comprehensive reform is getting collective bargaining."
Huma said he believes NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline, whom he has met, has good intentions and an appropriate agenda to deal with concussions. Hainline wants to eventually create a centralized database to track concussions for every college athletes and wants to unify college sports on other concussion-related issues.
"I think if he was given authority to implement policies he would be effective," Huma said. "Unfortunately, his position doesn't have power. He can outline the best protections to be applied in college sports, but he's not given the power to carry it out. That's part of the dysfunction of NCAA sports. There is no one individual, no one school, no one conference that can implement comprehensive reform."
Colter, who has called the NCAA a "dictatorship," told The Chicago Tribune that it clicked to form a union last summer while interning at Goldman Sachs in private wealth management. Colter recalled an instructor jokingly saying he couldn't believe college athletes don't have a union given as much money as they produce for universities.
"It kind of clicked," Colter told The Chicago Tribune. "I thought: Why don't we?"
'It will create a new standard'
It's not as if only now the public has taken notice of whether athletes are being treated fairly. Paying players has been a topic for decades. But as the money involved in the games increased, so did the public scrutiny.
There was the legal pressure from the 2009 filing of the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit, which is ongoing, over the NCAA's use of college athletes' names, images and likenesses. There was the 2011 South Park episode about the NCAA's concept of amateurism that took criticism to younger audiences. And there was the meticulous takedown article of the NCAA in 2011 by Civil Rights historian Taylor Branch in The Atlantic, a publication read by many high-educated people.
Lawyers for CAPA say they want to demolish the myth of the "student-athlete" label, which was created in 1964 by former NCAA Executive Director Walter Byers to make legal arguments that athletes aren't employees. CAPA argues that college athletes provide the same service as NFL and NBA players -- perform for universities that bring in billions of dollars in revenue -- but without the rights of employees.
A Northwestern attorney is arguing that Division I football players are primarily students, according to SI.com's article from the start of the NLRB hearings last week. The attorney questioned who would be eligible to join the union and pointed out that walk-ons are team members but don't receive scholarship benefits. He also raised a question of whether athletes could be considered temporary employees, an idea that a CAPA attorney said has no merit.
Past cases involving teaching assistants' attempts to unionize at universities have produced mixed results. The NLRB ruled in 2000 that teaching assistants at New York University are employees entitled to collective bargaining, but reversed its decision in 2004.
The board announced in 2012 it would reconsider that ruling, but a settlement between the teaching assistant and the university occurred before going through with the appeal. The students involved in that settlement partnered with the United Steelworkers, which is also helping the Northwestern players.
"The fact the Steelworkers have committed to help us I think is the difference maker," Huma said. "They have some of the best labor lawyers in the nation and they have the resources to take this as far as they need to go."
Huma said CAPA is not advocating for players to strike. "I think there's a lot of power in getting people a seat at the table," he said.
Based on legal precedent over how the courts view college athletes, many sports law experts have expressed doubts that players will succeed in forming a union. William Gould, a former NLRB chairman, has said he thinks athletes have a better case than the graduate assistants.
"The principal reason for that is their work -- they have conditions of employment, they have compensation, they're directed and supervised by the coaching staff -- their work is not related to the educational enterprise," Gould told USA Today Sports.
The NLRB only governs the rights of private sector employees. Northwestern is a private university. College athletes at public universities would have to go through state labor boards to form a union.
Huma said he envisions more players wanting to unionize create a national association.
"The one X-factor in this whole thing is recruiting," Huma said. "When some of the states, for instance, don't allow public employees to join a union, they're going to have to think twice if or when that results in the loss of talented recruits. We've already gotten contacts from parents of recruits who see this as a positive thing, and if players at Northwestern can establish a union, those players are going to be better protected. I think after we reach critical mass, it will create a new standard."

A former football standout at De La Salle and Riverdale high schools was sentenced Thursday in Montgomery, Ala., to 32 years in prison for kidnapping his ex-fianceé and her two children last year.
Prosecutors say Therral Hatfield, 26, abducted the woman and children at gunpoint in New Orleans. During a restroom break at a Flomaton, Ala., truck stop on April 21, 2010, the woman left a note asking for help on a paper towel. A customer found it and gave it to store workers, who alerted authorities.
Police arrested Hatfield about 75 miles away along Interstate 65. The woman, Latasha Hill of Old Jefferson, and her two children were in the vehicle, as was a pistol.
A jury in U.S. District Court convicted Hatfield on Nov. 17.
Hatfield grew up in Old Jefferson and was a premier running back at De La Salle and, after transferring, Riverdale. He played for Indiana State University in 2004-05.
He was sentenced by Judge Keith Watkins, whom President George W. Bush appointed to the bench.
The Press-Register of Mobile, Ala., contributed to this report.

After the second installment of ABC's "The Bachelor" last night, Ben Flajnik made a guest appearance on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" program. Of course, filming of "The Bachelor" has wrapped up and Ben knows how it ends, but he kept his lips pretty well-buttoned.
Still, though, the keen-eyed observer could tell a few things and it appears Blakeley, the cocktail waitress who bears an uncanny resemblance to Cruella De Vil, won't be around much longer.
Ben, looking California-casual with his cream-colored shirt untucked, collar unbuttoned and sporting a loosely knotted skinny black tie, admitted there's a lot of making out this season, but as he sheepishly says, "I had to go through the process." Yeah, we get it. Someone had to do it.
As for Blakeley, though, who won a rose last night, Ben told Kimmel, "Clearly, I have no idea what I'm doing." He said he has limited time with the women, but when he saw Blakeley's behavior when he wasn't around -- we don't need to recap it for you, do we? -- he was surprised.
Courtney was another rose winner last night and when Kimmel described her "twisting the knife" in the backs of the other contestants, Ben said, "Yeah, I saw that. I thought, ew, sick burn." (We had to look it up. From urbandictionary.com: Sick burn: to insult someone on an elevated level; to put someone down to the lowest.)
But don't bet on her leaving soon. Kimmel and several internet prognosticators think she'll be in the final four, along with Kacie B, Lindzi and Nicki Sterling.

A new family at Whidbey Furniture
Oak Harbors Whidbey Furniture has passed from capable hands to equally capable hands after 59 years of ownership by the Eelkema family.
Ed Baran and his wife Susan Walker Baran officially took over the business in August, bringing with them decades of furniture experience.
Ed has worked in the furniture industry for 27 years, many of them spent as a buyer for the Bon Marche, Meier & Frank in Portland and The America Group, all three companies 11-to-20 store chains. He also managed a Thomasville Furniture Store and worked in upholstery manufacturing for three years.
Susan has also been involved with furniture in the last couple of years. Prior to managing a furniture store in Seattle, where the couple resided, she also managed the Bellingham Nordstrom and ran her own business manufacturing bath and body products. Her experience in merchandising is invaluable in the partnership.
Shes very knowledgeable, Ed said.
Its a total team effort, Susan added.
The couple now lives in Useless Bay, where her mother has resided for 20 years.
Seventeen years ago, the furniture professional came very close to purchasing a store in Seattle, but held off in the end. When he heard that Whidbey Furniture might be on the market, Ed and his wife jumped at the opportunity.
Prior to the acquisition, the couple considered building an entirely new furniture store. Ultimately, purchasing Whidbey Furniture emerged as the right choice.
Its the largest furniture store on the island and has been successful for many years, Ed said of the nearly 25,000-square-foot building with an additional 10,000-square-foot warehouse at the rear.
Painting the outside of the store has given Whidbey Furniture a classy facelift. And flowers in front of the Oak Harbor staple are a welcoming touch.
This gives it a fresh, new look, Ed said. We will also be doing some painting inside and carpet work.
Customers familiar with the store before it changed hands should notice subtle differences, but overall the same quality products and helpful employees.
We re-merchandised the bottom level and cleaned it up a bit, Ed said. Were going to keep a solid 70 percent of the merchandise, so the content will basically stay the same.
What will change is the inclusion of an updated inventory that augments the already high quality furniture offerings. Whidbey Island is a melting pot of demographics and the new owners are catering to the diverse needs.
Were bringing newer, updated looks and classifications to the store, Ed said.
One cant be everything to everybody, he acknowledged, but Whidbey Furniture can do its best to keep money on the island by attempting to do just that.
Some people go off the island, Ed said. So, were going to do some upgrading. Offer more modern looks.
Las Vegas and High Point, North Carolina are the two largest furniture markets in the country. Twice a year in both cities, a colossal exposition is held for buyers. Ed has been to High Point 35 times, in addition to overseas buying trips in Italy and Brazil. A keen eye, however, is only part of the game.
Relationships in the furniture industry are huge, he said.
Reputations are just as huge. Whidbey Furniture came with a sterling reputation, a credit to the well-respected family who started the business. Ed and Susan are continuing the tradition.
It all fits, he said. We love it.
A longtime athletics coach, Ed has had the displeasure of taking the helm with severely dysfunctional teams. Walking into Whidbey Furniture has been the opposite experience.
Its a great team, he said. Not a lot of things are broken. Its just tweaks and adaptations.
Susan emphasized that with an expansive warehouse, customers have ample opportunity to buy off of the floor.
To have choices, thats important, she said. We just want to offer more.
Born in England and having lived in the UK for a considerable amount of time, Susan admittedly brings a European bent to the partnership. Whidbey Furniture is not simply a business venture, but an opportunity to craft a masterpiece.
Its like having this big canvas to paint on, she said. Its been so much fun.

Little League All Stars hit rough road
The South Whidbey Boys 9- and 10-year-old All Stars lost two heartbreakers in their run at the state title last weekend.
The team, which swept the District 11 tournament the week before to qualify for state, were shut down in their first game Saturday against Mill Creek, 18-0, then defeated on Sunday in a one-run loss to Richland, 5-4.
"This was a very young tournament team," said coach Mark Hanna after Sunday's game. "Only two of these kids have played at this level before. Next year the team will know where the bar is, and what mistakes not to make in games like this.
"I am so proud of these kids, especially for coming back after that crushing 18-0 defeat Saturday and almost beating the Richland team the next day."
In Sunday's game, behind T.J. Fallon's power pitching, South Whidbey was ahead by two runs going into the bottom of the sixth inning and needed only to hold Richland for the win.
But the Richland team scored one more run with two outs, making the score 4-3. South Whidbey closer Andy Groves threw two strikes, but the batter hit the third pitch, sending a high fly ball over first base.
"In classic Little League blooper tradition, the first baseman and the left fielder both went for the ball, neither calling it and running into each other, missing the catch. The winning run came in," Hanna said.
Other plays were missed throughout the game that could have given Whidbey a greater edge going into the last inning, Hanna said, but the final error sealed the team's fate.
"I think our island boys did a great job," Hanna said. "In the last game we were ahead until the final inning, but at all times our kids showed good sportsmanship, which is the first and most important lesson in baseball. They also were scrappers, never giving up. It was an honor and a privilege to coach them."
