Carla Hochhalter was instantly dubbed “the 14th victim” of the Columbine shootings, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of victims, and they continue to suffer–from wounds, from grief, from depression and from each other’s jealousy and wrath. Fearful of another massacre, school administrators and police have imposed a policy of “zero tolerance” for threatening remarks. Some angry parents are suing, or threatening to sue, the authorities, and others are seeking religious meaning in the tragedy....

Foligno, 32, elbowed Avalanche forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in open ice during the second period of Columbus’ 4-2 loss, sending his opponent crashing to the ice. Bellemare left the game and has since been diagnosed with a concussion and has been placed in protocol. According to head coach Jared Bednar, Bellemare will make the Avalanche’s upcoming five-game road trip through Canada and Minnesota and is feeling better today.

[HTML1] It’s no secret at this point that collector’s editions for gaming’s biggest releases are way out of hand, as evidenced by the reveal of a minifridge set to accompany Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 later this year.

In 1975, 15 years before he became a spoiler in Louisiana Republican politics by running for U.S. senator, Duke founded the Knights, a splinter group of the KKK. Duke wanted to recruit new “quality” members and to polish the Klan’s image, a cause his successor has embraced. An ordained Baptist minister, Robb shed his hooded robe for business suits and doesn’t shy away from the press or public....

Even together, these were not crushing blows to the Ramblers. They were defining, though. The only gauges the NCAA Tournament selection committee had by which to measure Loyola’s performance were those results; their games against chief Missouri Valley Conference rival Drake; their success in the 11th-ranked of 31 Division I leagues; and advanced metrics such as the NCAA Evaluation Tool, also known as the NET. None of this impacted Loyola’s selection to the tournament....

What Doctors Tend Worry About the Most in the Neuro-ICU These conditions are what tend to cause the most concern in the neurological ICU environment. Hyponatremia Neurological illnesses can cause the release of hormones that alter the concentration of sodium in the blood, which is known as hyponatremia.

Assassin’s Creed 2 isn’t known for having wonderful representation for women, but it does have some incredibly strong female characters that either teach or help Ezio in his journey to joining the Creed.

Or at least, Ubisoft’s version of these locations....
