Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said.
Original Reporting – Comcast Sign Soaping
I took these photos after having heard from a friend driving home that the intersection was flooded with soap. This is original reporting. I had no part in the activities, nor do I have knowledge of who did.

- forgot to watch the 01:30 CDT Shuttle launch. Sad day! Apparently, it launched fine with out me. #
- @SpaceVidcast - So, is it normal that the Shuttle is still transitioning to OPS-2 an hour after launch? I thought it was done much sooner. #
- enjoyed chatting with some other NASA "nerds" at http://ustream.tv/channel/spacevidcast during the post-launch briefing. #
- My phone's TXT messages need an 'away button'. #
- @SpaceVidcast I would highly recommend/request recording Post-MMT and Mission Status briefings. NASA never re-airs them & you learn so much. #
- is dodging home run balls while waiting in line for free food. 440ft. #

A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared

- is thinking: % wise, for every person locked up in China, there are 5 in jail in the US. Numerically, it's about the same ~ 2.5million each. #
- wants to know where to find video of this infamous Mark Z. interview. *off to look* Twittering first. Googling second. #
- Sarah Lacy strikes me as an arrogant neophyte. Not reading it, I must assume BusinessWeek has pretty low standards to allow her to write. #
- has a feeling VIddler went down because of the Mark Z. full interview video. #
- watching the full interview. Mark Z. really does remind me of Gates. Sarah still interposed herself way 2 much, flirty, & twirling her hair. #
Sarah Lacy’s keynote at SxSW, with comments from Mark Zuckerberg.
Facebook's creator and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, being "interviewed" by Sarah Lacy at SxSW. Now infamous.
Example:
7:50 - "What we're doing as a mission is very interesting..."
Mark attempts to continue pulling together his thoughts.
8:04 - Sarah interrupts Mark, saying "That was such a [someone?] moment."
Awkward chuckles.
8:22 - Sarah "We'll get back to you in a minute."
9:33 - Sarah finishes her story. Mark, "So what was the question?"
I'd like to see her try and "interview", I dunno, say, Steve Jobs this way.
It gets worse.
Then she responds, post-interview:
She comes across as an arrogant neophyte, IMHO. But I think what people are most upset about is that they feel like they missed out on a chance to have a real Zuckerberg Keynote / Q&A, because Sarah wanted to sit on stage, lean back, twirl her hair, and chat with her buddy Mark. That's how people feel, I believe, and I'm not sure they're not justified in feeling that way.

Personal Story:
Installing DVD playback "for research purposes" on Edubuntu. How to article here. Note: I had to modify the terminal command slightly, to sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh as the script was no longer in an examples folder, when I pulled it off the repositories. I also used VLC instead of Xine as my DVD player of choice.

Digg Easter Egg Revisits old “Konami Code”
With a tip from Leo Laporte that Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, was over at techcabconfessions.com telling Digg secrets, I hopped on over into the chat room to see what I could catch. I picked up enough bits and pieces here and there to discover what the easter egg was.
If you enter the Konami Code first thing when visiting a Digg page, Digg's comment system will fetch and display all comments. Yes, you do in fact use the arrow keys, and instead of a start button, follow it up with the Enter key at the end.
Now, this will surely be old news to some - a google blog search seems to point at June '07 as the earliest mention (which may be when the new comment system was implemented), but it was new to me.
