A vietnamese girl had her 16 pound tumor removed from her face finally. The surgery took about 12 hours. They said it had been growing and disfiguring her since she was 3 years old. It is amazing of why her parents would let something like that grow for so long and not do anything about it. Money could have been a problem, but still to let your daughter grow up and slowly be disfigured and have the risk of having it grow over her airway.

The Miami Heat's head coach and Hall of Famer, Pat Riley, stepped down from his position on April 28 and saying that he is done coaching. He had been coaching for about a quarter of a century, and he thinks that he is done this time. In 2005 he had been talked back into coaching after his first retirement, but now he claims he will not be talked into doing it again. This was his final season. Riley was a great coach, although I am not a Heat fan, they had decent seasons under his wing. For all you sports fanatics, what is your opinion about all this? Do you think that the Heat will have better seasons without Riley?http://www.miamiherald.com/856/story/512860.html
I read an article about a gang dubbed the "Smiley Face Gang," who apparetnly are associated with the killing of 40 young men in the last decade. The murders have been in at least 10 states and each death was marked by a smiley face. That must be their calling card. It is a tad scary for being a young college male, but however, most of the murders have been white males. I found this article at http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_212144865.shtml
and there is a video too.http://kstp.com/article/stories/s421846.shtml?v=1
I found an article this morning on the web about how scientists have found out why absinthe is such a mind altering liquid. Apparently Van Gogh and Picasso had used it to help them with their paintings. This I did not know, but I guess it seems logical if you look at their works of art. The results that were given were that absinthe contains about 70 percent alcohol making it 140-proof. Today's vodka, gin, and whiskey doesn't even come close to that. Over the years it has been fought over as to why the green stuff was so potent. What do you think about it? Would you ever try absinthe?

The Kansas Jayhawks barely squeak by the Davidson Wildcats, making it the first time ever in NCAA basketball history for four number one teams to make it to the Final Four. Kansas outscored the Wildcats 59 to 57, but came close to loosing that lead or tying it with only a few seconds left. Sasha Kaun and Mario Chalmers led the Jayhawks with both 13 points, whereas Stephen Curry led Davidson with 25 points.
Kansas will play against former Kansas head coach, Roy Williams and his Tar Heels to advance on to the championship game. This is definately history to me, not only for the top four teams in the tournament to be in the Final Four, but for the Jayhawks to play against North Carolina. Personally, Kansas is going to have to play a much better, and smarter game against Carolina. Especially against Tyler Hansbrough, who happens to be one of the top scorers in the nation.
"This is Kansas' Jayhawks' 13th trip to the Final Four, but its first since 2003," the Associated Press stated. Now Kansas head coach, Bill Self, has been relieved of his rank of good coach who never made it to the big time, and will have the opportunity to coach against Williams and try to surpass North Carolina and its basketball team.
