News and Info on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Seriously, our hands are trembling at the mere thought of having to actually use any of these shameful peripherals. A camera that takes the good with the (mostly) bad? A star-shaped mouse guaranteed to accelerate the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome by 409%? A USB fan that blatantly lies about purifying the hot air coming from that clogged up tower of yours? All present and accounted for, sir, and that’s not even the half of ‘em. We have all ideas you too would want to keep your digits far, far away from any of the disasters linked below, but give the list a look and let us know which one you think is the

Supreme Court Associate Justice J. Mortimer Brinnin’s deteriorating mental condition had been the subject of talk for some months now, but when he showed up for oral argument with his ears wrapped in aluminum foil, the consensus was that the time had finally come for him to retire. Thank God, his fellow justices agreed—unanimously, for once—cameras weren’t allowed in the Court.
Brinnin was a distinguished jurist who had cast some of the most consequential votes of his day. But the sun had now (emphatically) set on that day. His mind, once capable of quoting entire opinions as far back as the nineteenth century, in toto and verbatim, was now succumbing to medication (for persistent sciatica) and increasingly copious evening martinis. He had taken to summoning his clerks in the middle of the night to tell them that there were moray eels in the toilet. On another occasion, also at three a.m., he met them at the front door holding a bag of kitchen garbage and instructed them that they must get it to Omaha—without delay. (Justice Brinnin had grown up there.) It was when Justice Brinnin became convinced that the ghost of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was whispering in his ears trying to influence his vote that he reached for the aluminum foil.

Born in San Francisco 60 years ago Tuesday, Tillery was once a queen of the San Francisco rock scene. As lead singer of the Loading Zone, a psychedelic soul-rock band from the East Bay, she recorded an album for RCA Victor and frequently appeared at the Fillmore Auditorium on bills with the likes of Cream, the Grateful Dead, Albert King, B.B. King and the Who. She was one of four big-voiced women fronting bands on the local rock circuit, the others being Tracy Nelson with Mother Earth, Lydia Pense with Cold Blood and Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company.

There’s a theory that says if Quinn didn’t possess matinee idol looks and had gone to school at, say, Middle Tennessee State instead of Notre Dame, the clamoring for him to become the starter would match the sound of one hand clapping.
To that we say, not here. Not now. Or ever.
Remember Kelly Holcomb, who did go to Middle Tennessee State and wasn’t GQ material. Or even Subway worthy, having to settle for his own barbecue sauce.

Professorville resident Arthur Morse, 86, seemed wistful as he looked back on his life and thought about the opportunities he’s missed.
“One thing I wanted to do — but I won’t get to do now — is a parachute jump. Somebody talked me out of it,” he said.
That was four years ago, when Morse was 82.
A retired mechanical engineer, Morse comes out to the Palo Alto Airport nearly every day. Flying is his passion — or at least, one of them. In his life, there have been many: cruising boats, sports cars, guns and motorcycles to name a few. But perhaps the most long-lasting has been small planes.

He does not go home at night and catalogue his level of frustration from year to year, but he doesn’t need to. For Kevin Millwood, 2008 has been the most tormenting, frustrating and humiliating season of his career. Nothing else — not even last year’s 10-14 record and 5.16 ERA — is even close. And that’s why his complete-game, 9-1 win over Detroit on Wednesday was significant. It gives Millwood a chance, with six weeks remaining, to make something out of this season yet.
