'It is a horrible situation in which one man, unable to cope with life, threatens to jump from a sixth-floor window - with a child in his arms. But there is something typically Chinese in the way the man is prevented from leaping - when an abseiling fireman ensures the pair's safety by dropping from the window above and delivering a Kung-Fu-style flying kick. His actions send the man and child tumbling back into the room, potentially saving two lives with his daring act. The incident happened in Seongdong-gu district, in Xining City, on October 16&quot; - Dailymail</description>

Shi'dea Lane Speaks Out On Cleveland Bus Driver Hitting Her&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On Sept. 18th, a 22-year veteran bus driver named Artis Hughes elected to go off and hit a 25-year-old woman named Shidea Lane with an uppercut, then throw her off the bus - or try to. There were a number of cameras in smartphones around, so the man's actions were captured on several videos. But why would he be so stupid as to take such an action? Whatever the reason, there's something about being a bus driver that can bring out the worst in a man, regardless of color.</description>

			<description>&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comedian Bernie McGrenahan Teaches Sailors, Marines Real Life Lessons on Alcohol Abuse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
By Jamie Chevalier, Seahawk Contributor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; class=&quot;afimg&quot; src=&quot;http://www.japanbases.com/Portals/0/activeforums_Attach/Comedian_Bernie_McGrenahan.gif&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Comedian Bernie McGrenahan takes a picture of himself and one of his new fans after his Comedy is the Cure presentation at the Benny Decker Theater March 23. McGrenahan, one of today&amp;rsquo;s top stand-up comedians in America, spoke to Sailors and Marines about the dangers of alcohol abuse during the 90-minute comedy show. Photo by Jeffrey C. Doepp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Comedian Bernie McGrenahan brought his Comedy is the Cure presentation to the Benny Decker Theater on board Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY) March 23. McGrenahan, one of today&amp;rsquo;s top stand-up comedians in America, spoke to Sailors and Marines about the dangers of alcohol abuse and his brother&amp;rsquo;s suicide during the 90-minute program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGrenahan said he hopes his presentation will open the eyes of people who may have a problem with alcohol. He said many people use alcohol to cope with stresses of daily life and they do not want to admit that it has become a problem in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I try to, through identification, take them through the mind of a problem drinker, so when I&amp;rsquo;m done, those that are drinking frequently will be able to identify and maybe walk out of here willing to make a change,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mcgrenahan opened the program by telling jokes about everything from Kim Kardashian to military commissaries. Once he had the audience&amp;rsquo;s attention, the focus of the program shifted to his own story with alcohol abuse. He said the first time he got drunk was when he was in the eight grade, and that his drinking continued through high school and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I was an &amp;lsquo;A&amp;rsquo; student and baseball player my whole life, but when I got to high school my friends and I liked to drink,&amp;rdquo; he told the audience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said they always tried to control it by saying &amp;ldquo;only on weekends&amp;rdquo; but that soon changed. By his senior year, McGrenahan said he was barely getting through high school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;This &amp;lsquo;A&amp;rsquo; student was getting &amp;lsquo;Ds,&amp;rsquo;&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGrenahan lost his chance at a baseball scholarship but still went to college. But the drinking continued and he eventually ended up with three &amp;lsquo;Driving Under the Influence&amp;rsquo; charges by the time he was 25. He spent six months in the Los Angeles County Jail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Do you know how many of my drinking buddies came to see me during those six months? None,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with talking about his struggles with alcohol, McGrenahan spoke of his brother Scott&amp;rsquo;s suicide. His brother also had a drug and alcohol problem. Scott shot himself in the family&amp;rsquo;s backyard. McGrenehan used that story to ask the audience to think twice before turning to suicide when times get tough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;If the Navy gets tough, you get depressed, you miss your family. Don&amp;rsquo;t think about hurting yourself. We&amp;rsquo;ve lost too many Sailors and Marines to suicide. Talk to your CMC (command master chief), your chief&amp;rsquo;s, or Fleet and Family Support Services,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CFAY Chief Staff Officer Capt. Donna Kaspar said the combination of personal testimony and comedy helped keep the audience&amp;rsquo;s attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The relaxed style and appealing format provided a fresh and compelling approach in addressing some very serious subject matter,&amp;rdquo; Kaspar said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gunner&amp;rsquo;s Mate 2nd Class Katherine Curtis, from CFAY Legal, said she appreciated the way the program was presented.
&amp;ldquo;Sometimes stories from the heart are the best and as heartbreaking as it is, it also shows that no matter what happens you can always rise above it,&amp;rdquo; Curtis said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chief Electronics Technician (SS) James Rose III, the CFAY Drug and Alcohol program advisor, said having this type of show is important for military members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Everyone is used to the standard Navy training that typically involves an hour or more of a presentation-style format that can bore you to tears,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;By providing a funny show that entertains and carries the Department of the Navy message was a great way to get Sailors to actually listen to that message,&amp;rdquo; Rose said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McGrenahan started the Happy Hour with a Message show in 1995. In 2007, the office of Chief of Naval Operations, out of Millington, Tenn., contacted him when they wanted a more creative and innovative way to present the issues of high-risk drinking to service members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;They wanted to bring fresh, creative training approaches that Sailors not only pay attention to, but enjoy as well as learn from. And I hope I&amp;rsquo;ve done that for the Sailors here,&amp;rdquo; McGrenahan said. &amp;ldquo;I appreciate our men and women in uniform and I don&amp;rsquo;t take my freedom for granted. I want to thank them all for their service.&amp;rdquo;</description>

			<title>ME SO BAD</title>
			<description>So there's this lady in Iwakuni who always posts on our local facebook classified page USING ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It drives me nuts &amp;amp; I've called her out about it a few times to no avail.&amp;nbsp; I guess people don't understand anymore that ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED RUDE!&amp;nbsp; IT IS THE DIGITAL EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING IN SOMEONES FACE. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So today she has this post... &quot;DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY 3DS GAMES FOR SALE?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my usual wise-ass way, I reply (on Facebook) &quot;What do you think of Shift Lock?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, so she totally doesn't get my joke and she replies &quot;I WILL ASK MY SON ABOUT SHIFT LOCK.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My wife is totally pissed at me for being so obnoxious online; I'm wiping the tears from my eyes only hoping her son is like 14 years old and he'll have to patiently explain to his mom what shift lock is.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ME SO BAD!!&lt;br /&gt;</description>
