Pulled Groin Muscle..Impossible to Sleep 2008-03-04 01:50:00 A groin pull is a common injury that is due to a strain of the muscles of the inner thigh. A groin pull can be quite painful, and when severe, can limit even normal daily activities. Things that require a lot of rapid direction change are most susceptible to groin injuries. Any activity that creates sudden loaded abduction or adduction of the groin muscles can trigger a “pulled groin”. Hip misalignment also can manifest asymmetric hyper-recruitment of a muscle group. Conversely, a groin pull can also create asymmetry in hip alignment. Pain with motion or stretching of the hip joint. Usually located on the inside, and can sometimes be very close to the pubic bone. The injury usually is focused at the musculotendinous junction and involves disruption of the fibers to various degrees and Read more:Sleep

Chief Justice Roberts Defends ExxonMobil..Exxon Pleads for Relief in Alaska Oil Spill Case..We Are Pleading for Lower Fuel Prices..Fuck Exxon! 2008-02-29 00:03:00 thinkprogress.orgYesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on how much money Exxon

should be forced to pay as damages for its Exxon Valdez oil spill 19 years ago. The Washington Post's Dana Milbank notes that ChiefJustice
John Roberts
appeared "bothered" that Exxon might have to pay for its destruction:What bothered the chief justice was that Exxon was being ordered to pay $2.5 billion -- roughly three weeks' worth of profits -- for destroying a long swath of the Alaska
coastline in the largest oil spill in American history."So what can a corporation do to protect itself against punitive-damages awards such as this?" Roberts asked in court.The lawyer arguing for the Alaska fishermen affected by the spill, Jeffrey Fisher, had an idea. "Well," he said, "it can hire fit and comp Read more:Spill

COUNTDOWN TO 24...BUT NOT UNTIL JANUARY 2009 2008-02-16 02:42:00 AP NEW YORK -- Fans of the Fox drama 24 will have to wait until next January to see Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer again, this television season's most prominent casualty of the Hollywood writers strike. The network has committed to air a full season on consecutive weeks and had been planning to start last month. But if it had started airing new episodes soon, the season finale would not have taken place until the summer, when TV networks rarely show their high-profile programs. Even though eight episodes for this season had already been filmed before the beginning of the writers strike, producers would have had to ramp up production soon to complete the season. A January 2009 start seemed the best way to comply with viewers' wishes that a season's episodes run without interruption to conc
Beagle Finally wins at Westminster After 100 Years..What a Beautiful Dog!! A Carbon Copy of Our Baby "Sam" 1966-1979 Who Will Always Be in Our Hearts 2008-02-14 06:50:00 Beagles are known for their loud baying cry, their curiosity, their love of people and their messiness. They love digging, getting into garbage and howling. None of these traits seem to match those of the prim and proper dogs seen running around the arena at dog shows, but Tuesday that all changed. Doggie history was made when Uno, a nearly 3-year-old beagle, was awarded best in show at the Westminster
Kennel Club dog show. By Wednesday afternoon, Uno the beagle already had been on the "Today Show," taped the Martha Stewart Show and was preparing to tape the Letterman show for Wednesday night. Uno also was the featured guest at a dinner for dog enthusiasts at the famous New York restaurant Sardi's, where he dined on steak. He is scheduled to ring the bell that opens the stock market Friday Read more:Beagle

Garlic Turns Blue 2008-03-07 06:40:00 Q: I recently pressed fresh garlic onto a chicken breast and placed lemon slices on top. After baking, I peeled back the lemon to see that my garlic had turned blue! (I ate it and it was very good). Why does it turn blue?A: Acid is the culprit. Garlic
contains anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments that turn blue or purple in an acid solution. While this color transformation tends to occur more often with immature garlic, it can differ among cloves within the same head of garlic.The bad news is the acid-soaked garlic looks like something a Smurf might serve at the dinner table. The good news is the garlic flavor remains unchanged (except for the flavor of the acid) and is totally edible without bodily harm.-Source: Food Network Kitchens
