| Officer Barely Dodges Pole through Car Window Tragedy
A chase ended with a pole smashed right through the windshield of a Edgewood ISD patrol car. The school district police officer was after two men who stole an air-conditioning unit. The Edgwood ISD officer saw the two people stealing the air conditioner. She chased after them into the street, where the two men separated and one ran right in front of her police car. She then swerved to avoid the suspect and instead smashed into a chain link fence. A post from the fence crashed through the windshield. Luckily no one was in the passenger seat of the patrol car, because the fence post went completely through the windshield and into the passenger seat of the police car. The two thieves got away with the air conditioning unit they stole from the abandoned Edgewood Elementary School.
Schilling says he had no choice but to spurn shoulder surgery
Schilling could see why Henry feels rehab is best. "When you understand the depths of the different diagnosis, the incredible variations in potential treatments and timetables you should be able to understand to some degree why I might be upset at being forced to take this course of action," Schilling said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "That being said, that process is over and right now I am focused on trying to find out as quickly as possible whether or not this course of action will work." Red Sox team physician Dr. Thomas Gill recommended rehab for the tendon injury. Schilling sought a second opinion from Dr. Craig Morgan, who operated on the right shoulder in 1995 and 1999. Morgan felt strongly that surgery was best and that rehabilitation would fail and end Schilling's career.
Now at Hotels: The $250 Cigarette
Dan Cole checked out of his Connecticut hotel early on a Saturday morning last month and found an unwelcome surprise. The Courtyard Marriott Hartford-Farmington had slapped him with a $250 charge for smoking in his nonsmoking room. Mr. Cole is a smoker but insists he didn't light up in the room. He got busted, he thinks, for throwing a few cigarette butts he had stowed in his pants pocket into the room's trash. He pleaded his case to the front desk, but the clerk refused to take off the charge. The next day, Mr. Cole fired off a series of increasingly exasperated emails to customer service and the general manager. "Would you like me to take a polygraph to prove to you that I am not a liar?" he emailed Chris O'Donnell, the hotel's general manager. Mr. Cole is among the growing crowd of smokers ensnared by hotels' new and more stringent no-smoking policies.
Column 56: Finale
I'm sorry for bringing it up so suddenly, but it was a decision long in the making. With mounting responsibilities at work and in my personal life, I felt the need to turn my attention to them instead. My hopes are to get some kind of further certification to improve the knowledge that I bring to our team. As I love being on staff here, I came up with a compromise: I will give up my Q&A host position to take on the role of a reviewer. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up with everything now! Like everyone else in the RPG-loving world, I have been almost fully absorbed by the marvel that is Lost Odyssey. At five hours a night since I got it, I have reached to the fourth disk where I have been running through all the side quests I could find. The game is a blast and I do believe I will need to write a review on it.
