“Where hacks come to spew nonsense” - B2B
Australian cyclist Matthew Rex is in a serious but stable condition after being hit by a car driven by friend and training partner Chris Jongewaard in Normanville, South Australia on Saturday night.
Rex was riding with another person when the crash happened near to the Normanville hotel where Rex and Jongewaard had been celebrating Rex’s 22nd birthday.
Sorry Ped, I am not inviting you to my next birthday party.
Local cyclist Dan Casper ran up to the top of the IDS tower last Saturday morning in 6 minutes and 18 seconds.
Sounds impressive? Well, at that rate it would take him 19 and a half years to run stairs up to the moon. Not so impressive after all, huh?
Just got the analysis of the MRI this morning:
HISTORY: Several previous shoulder dislocations.
TECHNIQUE: Coronal T1, FSE T2, FSE T2 with fat sat. Sagittal FSE T2. Axial dual echo T2.
FINDINGS
OSSEOUS ACROMION OUTLET: The aromion is curved, type II. There is no anterior or lateral downsloping or evidence of subacromial spur. AC degenerative changes cause minimal narrowing the supraspinatus outlet.ROTATOR CUFF: Intact.
GLENOID LABRUM: There is abnormal signal throughout the anterior labrum at the base of the labrum with an extensive anterior labral tear associated with the history of previous recurrent dislocations. Posterior labrum is intact. There is abnormal signal at the base of the superior labrum as well and I suspect there may be a SLAP type component as well involving the superior and anterior labrum.
BICEPS TENDON: Intact.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES AND CARTILAGINOUS SURFACES: There is a moderate-sized Hill-Sachs deformity with associated bone marrow edema in the posterior lateral aspect of the humeral head. Bone marrow signal is otherwise normal. Glenohumeral articular cartilage is intact.
ADDITIONAL FINDINGS: No joint effusion or subacromial or subdeltoid fluid.
IMPRESSION:
1. Hill-Sachs deformity with associated bone marrow edema.
2. Extensive labral tear involving the base of the labrum throughout the anterior labrum. There is also a superior labral tear associated with this.
3. No evidence of rotator cuff tear.
Hey, I am no expert, but this doesn’t sound real good to me…
A Hill-Sachs deformity is an indentation or groove on the head of the humerus arm bone which may occur after one episode of shoulder dislocation. This proves that I am not a liar, at least about the dislocation that is.
The Glenoid Labrum is ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the end of the scapula where it meets the head of the humerus. Sounds like there are some problems with it.
OK web monkeys, what is the diagnosis? Surgery or physical therapy? We find out on February 22.
Local radio right winger Jason Lewis is promoting his petition to prevent Minnesota politicians from spending the budget surplus.
Let me urge you to join Minnesota’s Tax Cut Coalition today by signing the petition below. And by registering you can even choose the state tax cut you think would be most beneficial to you and your family. Our website will keep a running tally of your vote and we here at KTLK will keep you updated on our progress. Once all the signatures are collected and your selections registered, you and I will officially present this petition for tax relief to the Governor and leaders of the Legislature on the steps of the capitol on Saturday April 14th, 2007 at noon! That’s right, this whole effort will culminate in a massive Tax Cut Rally in St. Paul.
Wow. Community democracy in action right? I think that is great. Give the people a voice and force those in government to follow the wishes of the citizenry!
I wonder how he feels about the recent Gallup poll stating that 63% of Americans want Congress to set a time-table for withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2008.
Listen to the people right Jason Lewis?
So we find out the gender of Baby Smithers II on Thursday. What’s your guess?
