Doctor Braves Snowstorm, Walks 6 Miles to Perform Emergency Surgery
By: Taylor Berman
A surgeon in Alabama trekked more than six miles on foot during Tuesday's snowstorm to perform life-saving brain surgery on a patient.
Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw was working at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham on Tuesday when he received word that a patient requiring emergency brain surgery had arrived at Trinity Medical Center, located more than six miles away. But because of Tuesday's storm, which effectively shut down transportation across the Southeast, Hrynkiw was able to drive only three blocks before traffic stopped. He quickly called the hospital.
"The cell service was bad so we were fading in and out," Steve Davis, charge nurse in the neuro intensive care unit at Trinity, told AL.com. "At one point, I heard him say, 'I'm walking.'"
Davis contacted hospital authorities, who notified law enforcement. "The police were looking for him," Davis said.
Several hours went by before Hrynkiw's calls got through. "He finally called me and said, 'Where's the patient? What's the status?'" Davis said.
Not long after, Hrynkiw finally arrived at the hospital, met with the patient's family, and performed the surgery. The patient, who would've died without the procedure, is doing well and is expected to recover.
"This just speaks volumes to the dedication of the [Dr.Hrynkiw]," Davis said. "When I saw him, all I could say is 'you are a good man.'" -
Married high school teacher, 24, accused of having sex with student, 15, more than 50 times
By: Alex Greig
A teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student more than 50 times has been arrested after turning herself in.
Carrie Miller, 24, is accused of sexual assault and enticement through electronic devices for allegedly having sexual contact with a then-15-year-old boy in the fall of 2012.
Miller, a Spanish teacher at Johnson County Central High School from Tecumseh, was married at the time of the assaults.
According to court documents, Miller had sexual contact with the boy between 50 and 60 times during the fall of 2012.
She was arrested Tuesday and went before a judge Wednesday, who set her bail at $25,000.
The probable cause affidavit says the two routinely exchanged text messages, graphic photographs and inappropriate conversations.
The alleged encounters were usually arranged by cell phone and took place in both Johnson County and an abandoned farmhouse in neighboring Nemaha County, where she will also face charges.
Miller was married to a Lincoln man in September 2011 and the couple filed for divorce in February 2013.
According to ABC 8, the information that led to Miller's arrest was provided by a tipster.
Deputy Johnson County Attorney Rick Smith said accusations of this nature rarely happen in the area. 'This is the first time I've heard of it in my 32 years,' he said.
Local parents were shocked at the allegations.
Grandparent Pat McKinney whose children and now grandchildren attend the school said her reaction was 'Shock, just shock.'
'Children at this age are easily manipulated,' McKinney told 1011, 'and easily led into doing something.'
McKinney and another parent, Carolyn Justus, said that they had heard nothing from the school about the incident and only found out about Miller's arrest through the media.
The school has not commented on Miller's arrest, saying only that the school is dealing with a 'personnel' issue.
Miller's next court date is February 26.

Poor Americans Can Now Get Their Twinkies At Big Lots
By: Ken Layne
Good news for America's growing ranks of poor people already plagued by heart disease and diabetes: Twinkies, the industrial ? -tube cakes that will never become stale, will now be sold by discount retailer Big Lots at up to 40% less than grocery store prices.
The snack brand briefly vanished in 2012 before returning last year with a non-union workforce. Twinkies are popular with the poor because they're cheap and sweet and filling. Until the old Hostess company and its unionized work force was shut down, Twinkies and Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread were available at Hostess "thrift stores" that sold the merchandise at a big discount.
Since those stores were closed, Americans have had to pay higher prices at the fancy fresh-food supermarkets. Big Lots, which sells a random assortment of discount items at run-down strip malls across America, now has the Hostess "thrift store" business to itself.
"The thrift outlets were extremely popular," Big Lots CEO David Campisi said in a press release. "We are thrilled to team up with this iconic brand and give customers a new destination to find outstanding savings on the products they know and love."
Americans are increasingly poor—48 million are now on food stamps—and poor people eat terrible food because it's cheap and addictive. When you eat nothing but processed fats, sugars and sodium for a while, everything else tastes "weird." -
Scientists grow human lungs in a laboratory for the first time... but they won't be transplant ready for at least 12 years
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
In a new frontier in regenerative medicine, scientists have grown human lungs in a laboratory for the first time - but they won't be ready for transplants for at least 12 years. University of Texas Medical Branch researchers produced the healthy ? last year but only unveiled it yesterday after months of testing. The development has the potential to benefit more than 1,600 people awaiting a lung transplant, after the lab lungs are tested on pigs for at least a decade.
'It's so ? cool,' Dr. Joan Nichols, lead University of Texas Medical Branch researcher, told CNN. 'It's been science fiction and we're moving into science fact.' According to ABC 13, researchers began the process with lungs from children who had died from 'trauma', most likely a car accident. 'We removed all the cells all the material in it, and just left the skeleton of the lung, or the scaffold, behind - the pieces of the lungs that are no cells,' Dr. Nichols said. 'That's why it's so white and pretty and there's no blood in it, it's very pretty looking.
'And then we added back cells from another lung that couldn't be used for transplant but still had some viable cells in it.' But it took months until UTMB medical student Dr. Michael Riddle built a piece of equipment that sped up the process. 'He's the one who went home and actually built using - I'm not kidding - a fish tank that he went and bought from a pet store, is what he built the first piece of equipment,' Dr. Nichols said.
Could the smell of your EARWAX reveal where you've been, what you've eaten and even if you are ? ? Scientists say substance is 'overlooked source of personal information' Have we finally discovered the Amazon's source? Scientists pinpoint its origin - making the river 57 miles longer than previously thought. The team said it took about 'four months to take the cells from the lung to where all you have is a bio-scaffold, and we took that process down to about three days'.
'It's taken us a year to prove to ourselves that we actually did a good job with it,' Dr. Nichols said. 'You don't run out immediately and tell the world you have something wonderful until you've proved it to ourselves that we really did something amazing.' She said researchers hope to transplant the first set of lab-grown lungs in pigs in the next two years.

Brighter than Einstein? Girl, 3, admitted to Mensa after teaching herself Spanish on an iPad as tests show her IQ is off the scale
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A three-year old girl with an IQ above 160 has just become the youngest person in Arizona to be accepted into Mensa. In fact, doctor's said young Alexis Martin did so well on intelligence tests they couldn't even calculate her IQ score exactly. Mensa is an international club which only accepts members who have an IQ score in the top two per cent world wide. The average person scores an IQ of approximately 100. But when Martin scored 160, the highest possible rating on the test, she matched the IQs of geniuses like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and BIll Gates, who are also thought to be in a similar range. Martin's parents said their little girl had given them signs she might be gifted for a long time.
'From 12-18 months old, we'd be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime story from the night before,' her father, Ian, told ABC 15. 'She didn’t just recite them, she recited them exactly.'
She's currently consuming books at a 5th grade reading level and even taught herself Spanish on the family's iPad. 'Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything, she never ever uses it in the incorrect context, ever,' said Ian.
And while her parents are grateful for her intellectual prowess, they are worried about what unique challenges it might give to raising Alexis. One of the doctors who tested her said Alexis could never go to a normal school and that children with her level of intelligence often suffer from high anxiety unless they're around similarly gifted boys and girls. 'Does she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant because we do want her to get that social aspect,' Ian said. -
Woman is JAILED for not returning a video she rented NINE years ago - even though the store has now gone out of business
By JAMES GORDON
She rented the film Monster-In-Law, but this woman might be thinking the law is a monster, in this case. Kayla Michelle Finley, 27, ended up spending a night in jail for failing to return a video rental she took out in 2005. Cops in Pickens Country in South Carolina say Ms Finley was sent a warning letter nine years ago that asked her to return the movie. When she ignored the demand, a warrant was issued for her arrest. Ms Finley was put behind bars for the night after she went to the police station to report a crime. She was charged with petit larceny and failing to return a rented video cassette.
It was when officers were taking her personal details, they noticed the outstanding warrant. Adding to the bizarre set of circumstances Ms. Finley faced, the rental shop, Dalton's video, has long since closed down. When Ms. Finley didn't return the movie nine years earlier, the business owner went to a Pickens County magistrate who issued an arrest warrant. The tape was taken out on a three-day rental and was supposed to be returned after 72 hours.
She was apparently sent several certified letters to turn herself in but ignored them all. Ms Finley denied ever receiving the warnings, and said she would fight the charges delivering a scathing message towards the sheriff's department. 'It’s obvious that Pickens County has nothing better to do,' Finley told Fox News reported. 'I fully intend on fighting this, it’s ridiculous I had this happen to me,' she said. Deputies say that whilst businesses may come and go, outstanding warrants never expire.
A judge issued a $2,000 personal recognizance bond Friday morning, and she was released.

Depressed factory worker is mauled by Chinese zoo's white tiger after offering HIMSELF up as food in front of horrified onlookers
By TED THORNHILL
Chinese zoo keepers managed to save the life of a mentally disturbed man after he announced he wanted to improve the lives of caged tigers at a local zoo by offering them his own body to eat. Yang Jinhai, 27, had posted several online messages about how optimistic he was about starting a new life after getting a job as a security guard in Chengdu in southwest China's Sichuan province. But he quickly found the job boring and monotonous and moved instead to a job in a printing factory where he also then resigned, saying that he felt there was more to life.
After going to the local zoo he wrote how depressing it was to see the ‘noble and magnificent tigers’ living in such humble surroundings, where they were caged and unable to follow their natural instincts to hunt and ? .
He then announced that he had decided to sacrifice himself in order to provide the Bengal tigers with support. Eyewitness Feng Lin said: ‘He climbed up the outside of the cage and jumped inside expecting, I assume, that the tigers would pounce on him. Instead the two tigers, a male and a female, seemed more nervous than anything else and the female actually ran off. ‘He then tried to antagonise the tigers by pulling faces at them. Eventually he was attacked by the male where he was cut after being scratched and bitten before he could be rescued by zoo keepers who fired a tranquilliser dart at the male tiger.’
They then pulled the man out of the cage.
Yang's family told local media Mr Jinhai had been depressed for a long time and said that he had been taken to a home where he was given psychiatric counselling to cope with his problems.

Rupert Murdoch’s $800 Million Tax Break Kneecapped Australia’s Budget
By: J.K. Trotter
Australia’s Financial Review reports today that a massive cash payout of $882 million AUD (approximately $800 million USD) to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp has decimated the Australian government’s annual budget:
The single largest factor in the underlying deterioration of the federal budget announced by Treasurer Joe Hockey in December was a cash payout of almost $900 million to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. The massive windfall, revealed in the US group’s accounts a week ago in New York, was at a time when News Corp newspapers were highly critical of the budget and called for deep cuts.
The payout resulted from an Australian tax court’s ruling that News Corp did not owe taxes on a complicated series of paper loans arranged by News Corp executives in 1989 and cashed out twelve years later, after sitting in bank accounts held in overseas tax havens.
“The galling feature for [Australia’s] Tax Office,” Review reporter Neil Chenoweth writes, “is that the original deals that cost taxpayers $882 million cost News nothing.” Even after collecting the payout, the Murdoch-owned newspaper The Australian declared the country’s socialist Labor party as “the main obstacle standing in the way of repairing the budget’s bottom line.” -

Urban Outfitters Tries to Save Itself With Hipster Workout Clothes
By: Kate Dries
Not content with their still-struggling revenue stream, Urban Outfitters is expanding into patterned leggings, short-shorts and tiny tank-tops. Does this sound like what they already sell? It's all very different – this time, the clothes are for working out.
Refinery29 reports that Urban will be bringing Without Walls to certain Urban stores in March. The brand is made of "performance clothing and gear for fitness, surf, trail, and cycle, so you can keep moving without looking like everyone else," their YouTube description explains. "We don't chase adventures, we create them." Without Walls will sell clothes from well-known companies like Vans and Patagonia, and, if the promo video they've released is any indication, shoot all their ad campaigns in that overlit, feels-like-you're-hungover style they enjoy so much.
Last week, MarketWatch reported that Urban's fourth-quarter sales rose at Free People and Anthropologie but fell at Urban Outfitters. -
Connecticut gym teacher, 25, 'had sex with male high school student four times in her own home'
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
A Waterbury, Connecticut school teacher has been arrested on charges she spent the last two months having sex with a male student at her home.
Crosby High School physical education teacher Meghan Eagan, 25, was charged with four counts of second degree sexual assault and has since posted $1,000 bond.
Police say that between December and January, Eagan had sex with the student four times.
Booking photos show a smirking Eagan appearing unfazed by the accusations, which do not specify the student's age but are based on Eagan's position of authority over the victim.
Police declined to release the student's age.
Eagan is due to return to court February 25.
She has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation at her school, reports the Hartford Courant.

The NYPD Didn't Translate Murdered Mother's Spanish-Language Warning
By: Sarah Hedgecock
When Deisy Garcia was threatened by her husband, she filed a report with her local police precinct. Then she and her children were murdered–and critics believe they'd still be alive if police had translated her report, which she wrote in Spanish.
Garcia, who lived in Queens, filed her first report against her husband, Miguel Mejia-Ramos, after he assaulted her in May. Such reports are required by law, and instructions on the forms are written in English and Spanish. Since Garcia was a Guatemalan immigrant she elected to file hers in her native language. In it, she said she feared he might ? her or their children. She filed a second report in November, also in Spanish, although it did not mention the same fears for her life.
Neither report was translated until January, by which point it was too late: Garcia and her two daughters had all been fatally stabbed. Mejia-Ramos was later apprehended in Texas as he attempted to make his way to his native Mexico. Speaking to the New York Post, Garcia's brother said the bureaucratic failure is at least partially to blame for his sister's death:
Garcia's brother José Garcia, 19, added, "When someone comes to them with a problem but only speaks Spanish, find someone who speaks Spanish. "They're supposed to help us no matter who we are. My sister and her kids might still be alive if they had done their jobs."
The NYPD is required by law to translate any reports written in foreign languages–a rule about which authorities reminded all precincts after Garcia's death. The department is looking into software to automatically translate foreign-language reports. -

@Black_Samson, there is hope to quell your spider fears!Florida Man Overcomes Fear of Spiders By Tattooing Spider on His Face
By: ADAM WEINSTEIN
Eric Ortiz doesn't like spiders. Which is why he got this black widow spider tattoo on his cheek, just below his eyeline, in December: So he can overcome spider that which spider he fears most spider spiiiiiiider SPIDER.
Ortiz' bold statement—he posted this pic on Facebook with the exclamation "Now I will give everybody something to look at!!!!!"—came to light this week when he reported to Volusia County Court in Central Florida to account for driving on a revoked license again, and was kind enough to grant an interview to a reporter from the Daytona Beach News-Journal:
"Everybody fears spiders," Ortiz said. "That's why I got it. Just to, like, make me know, that that's what I fear, but not to fear it. You know what I'm saying?"...
Ortiz's particular method of dealing with arachnophobia gets attention.
"Everybody looks at it like, "Damn spider" 'cause if you're going around your house, you know what I'm saying, you see those spiders, you're going to jump, you're going to jump, so putting one on my face, I say you know what, I'm going to see what people think."
What do people think?
"Some people say 'Why did you get it? You're never going to get a job," Ortiz said. "Some people say "It's cool, man. The tattoo on the face, I would never get it but that one came out cool.'"
His girlfriend wasn't too happy, though.
"She was mad at me," he said.
Ortiz' online status currently lists him as "single." -
Fat Fatties Only Exercise Like an Hour a Year, Says Science
By: Adam Weinstein
America, you're bulbous. Which is cool, if that's cool with you! The thing is, you're lazy as all get-up, too, and we have data to prove it: Obese women get one hour per year of exercise, and obese men get less than four hours. "They're living their lives from one chair to another," says a judgey researcher.
Scientists at the University of Alabama used data from a government survey to find the seemingly obvious correlation, according to HealthDay:
In the new study, researchers examined the results of a 2005-2006 government survey of adults aged 20 to 74. Among other things, the survey tracked the weight, diet and sleep patterns of nearly 2,600 adults.
Accelerometer devices were used to track their movements, providing insight into how much they exercised.
The study defined "vigorous" exercise as activities that burn fat like jogging and jumping rope, but not sexual activity. According to Archer, who was at the University of South Carolina when the study was conducted, sex isn't as much of a fat-burning activity as certain other kinds of exercise so it doesn't qualify as vigorous.
The researchers found that the average obese woman gets the equivalent of about one hour of exercise a year. For men, it's 3.6 hours a year.
Put another way, fat chicks get about 10 seconds of real exercise a day. For dudes, about 35 or 36 seconds. (Are you sure sex, or at least a quick ? , doesn't count?)
Some of the fat people in the study "are moving probably a fair amount," Archer said, "but the vast majority are not moving at all."
Now, that's a correlative relationship, but no causal connection is suggested. Do people:
1. get fat because they're lazy?
Or, do people:
2. get lazy because they're fat?
As a fat dude, I say: Yes. I didn't need science to tell me that. What I need science to do is make sure I can eat Hot Pockets again soon. If I sprint around the living room in the two minutes that they're cooking, I'll be the most active obese person in the world.

For a guilt-free way to enjoy cake, just add seaweed: Extract stops fat being broken down and absorbed by the body
By FIONA MACRAE
Dieters could soon have their cake and eat it – guilt-free.
Scientists plan to add a seaweed extract to some of our favourite foods to make them healthier and tastier.
The colourless and tasteless powder stops fat being broken down and absorbed by the body – which could help the pounds fall off.
In tests, a fibre found in seaweed was better at blocking fat than many weight loss supplements – and almost as good as the over-the-counter diet pill Alli.
The success of the tests means new diet cakes, sausages, bread and soft drinks could soon be on the supermarket shelves.
The excitement surrounds alginate, a gel found in seaweed that is already used in small amounts to thicken ice cream, yoghurt and toothpaste. Some companies also use it to make the head on beer last longer.
Now the Newcastle University research suggests it could also help halt the rising tide of obesity. Tests showed it stopped up to three-quarters of the fat in food being digested into pieces small enough to be absorbed by the body. Researcher Dr Matthew Wilcox said: ‘Normally, between 95 and 100 per cent of all the food eaten is broken down and absorbed.
‘If you don’t absorb as much fat, then hopefully you can lose weight.’
The research team was also able to identify which types of alginate are most effective.
Now they are in talks with several major food companies to make alginate-supplemented products. More testing is needed but the first products could be on supermarket shelves next year.
Unlike low-fat foods, fat wouldn’t be removed from any alginate-enhanced products, meaning taste shouldn’t be affected. If anything, adding the seaweed fibre could enhance it.
Volunteers who ate the alginate bread found it tastier than the normal version – perhaps because the slices were moister.
And fat-busting effect wouldn’t be limited to the supplemented food.
For instance, the fat in a burger and chips would be targeted by alginate in the bun or in the fizzy drink accompanying the meal.
Dr Wilcox added that while healthy eating and exercise should be the mainstay of any diet, seaweed supplemented foods may give slimmers an extra boost.
