Host ,'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jesus!
The family has had more than its fair share of tragedies. Balthazar's father, Paul III, was kidnapped in 1973, and when Paul I refused to pay the ransom, his ear was cut off (the ransom was then paid)
Is this true? That's so... whoa.
he couple's first child, Cassius Paul Getty, was born on July 17, 2000
unfortunate name for his child
UB313 has been determined to be larger than Pluto. If Pluto is a planet it's hard to think of a reason why it wouldn't be the 10th planet.
I guess the undecided question is are there 8 planets or 10 planets now.
I've only seen one episode of One Tree Hill and the only thing I remember about it was that Moira Kelly was playing someone's mom and I kept waiting during the whole episode for her to say "Toe Pick!".
is not up to her previous investment-banking career
The article says she was a piano teacher.
So, for those knowledgable about Philly, what are the cute neighborhoods, that are kinda suburby? Would looking into New Jersey be better?
Aha, NOT the Central Park Jogger. A different woman raped and beaten about the head and left for dead in Central Park. How cheery. Here's the Central Park Jogger [link]
Glass half full? Barely a quarter full and that's arsenic!
Dude, there's a reason why I'm alternating between "The Worst Day Since Yesterday" and "Grace of God Go I" today. Flogging Molly understands my curmudgeonly angst!
the general public vastly underestimates the damage with head injuries, and Oliver Sacks essays underscored that
The general public also underestimates the extent to which Oliver Sacks is a good wrtier, but a terrible doctor. (This is according to my neurologist uncle who foams at the mouth whenever Sacks' name comes up, and an ex-patient friend of my sister's. The reason my sister's friend is now an ex-patient is because he was kicked out of the office for having a seizure in the waiting room. As in, he was waiting for an appointment, he started to have a seizure in the waiting room, and Sacks called security.)
In brief...it depends. Penetrating injury or not. How much pressure in the brain after the trauma and for how long. Which part of the head got whacked and whether there's nerve damage in there.
I think we can rate him as a Mild-to-Severe head injury, though, from what we know. And as Trudy suggests...
The treatment of TBI has undergone significant change in the last 20 years.
Prognosis:
The Traumatic Coma Data Bank analyzed 780 patients with head injuries and identified 5 factors that correlated with a poor outcome, as follows: (1) age older than 60 years, (2) initial GCS score of less than 5, (3) presence of a fixed dilated pupil, (4) prolonged hypotension or hypoxia early after injury, and (5) presence of a surgical intracranial mass lesion.
Along the Main Line is nice but pricey. We lived in Bryn Mawr, though there are plenty of places along the main line where you could live and living as far out as Wayne wouldn't be undoable if you planned on commuting by SEPTA). My BATT's family lived in Bala Cynwyd for a bit (which I think is where Billytea lived), Mount Airy (which I loved) and Fairmount. All of those are suburbany.
