ORINDA, Calif. -- Debbie, a 17-year-old now down to 86 pounds and ever closer to her secret goal of 81 pounds, slowly awoke in her bed on a hospital intensive care unit. She was so groggy from her drug overdose that the only thing she noticed was the painful burning sensation in her nose. She then discovered that she couldn't move her hands to rub the unpleasant sensation away. Debbie had survived her suicide attempt and finally figured out that padded leather restraints secured her wrists and ankles to the sides of the bed. The burning sensation came from a tube that had been inserted through her nose down into her stomach. The tube had been used initially to pump out whatever pill fragments in Debbie's stomach had not been absorbed before she reached the hospital. After monitoring her for awhile the medical doctor decided that because her nutritional condition was so precarious, the nasogastric tube would be used for feeding Debbie's malnourished body.
Obama to appear in Minnesota Saturday
In a move that draws fresh attention to the growing importance of Minnesota in the presidential contest, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama will appear here on Saturday, just days before the crush of primary and caucus contests that will occur on Super Tuesday "Minnesota, for the first time in our memory, is going to matter and matter big time in presidential politics," said Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak on Monday, announcing the Obama appearance and unveiling two television ads that begin airing statewide today. Rybak is the chairman of Obama for Minnesota.

No details were available on where and when on Saturday Obama would be in Minnesota, but Rybak said the appearance would be geared toward turning out caucus-goers for Feb.
Ward Churchill, ACTA and Public Opinion
Those who wish to preserve academic freedom, and I do, would do well to incorporate Neal's concept of responsibility and Eismeier's invocation of Shils.

Elisha Cuthbert starts the New Year in a bikini
She has hit the comeback trail hard. She was falling apart and heading toward looking like a soccer mom and that's pretty bad when you ain't married and don't have kids. She's looking rocking and sport'in here so more power to her trainer. She looks in such great shape, I'm going to avoid mentioning the utterly retarded sun glasses built for a giant and refrain from any requests to punch her in the head. Still, going with one color would have been better. .
