I haven't seen a jar of chipped beef in the stores since the 60's. Apparently, they still do make it. It has enough salt in it to make yer heart stop. And, NO, it's not corned beef. More like dried out bologna. Mom used to feed it to us long ago. Not one of the recepies that I carried forward... Mom couldn't find it one day and served us some ungodly creamed bologna on toast. We never let her live that one down and she never attempted to serve it again.

An 11-year-old Virginia boy is charged with making swatting calls to Florida schools

Flagler County emergency services initially received a bomb threat at Buddy Taylor Middle School on May 14, officials said. Additional threats were made between then and May 22. Flagler County is in central Florida on the state’s Atlantic coast.

Investigators tracked the calls to a home in Henrico County, Virginia, just outside Richmond. Local deputies searched the home this month, and the 11-year-old boy who lived there admitted to placing the Florida swatting calls, as well as a threat made to the Maryland State House, authorities said. Investigators later determined that the boy also made swatting calls in Nebraska, Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Alaska.

That he was ever Good IMO is questionable. The cult con-artists are pretty good at finding those that are repressing their true feelings of rage.
At least he only tried to murder a few cops.

Lot's of college kids these days are trying to murder entire civilizations.

Tampa doctor couldn't hear colonoscopy patient scream because he wasn't wearing hearing aids, board finds
I'm a bit skeptical. It's hard to believe that, even if he was completely deaf, that he wouldn't have noticed the thrashing that almost certainly would accompany a screaming patient, let alone the motions of the staff around him reacting to the situation. Also, how reasonable is it for someone to be so deaf that they couldn't hear that people were screaming just a couple feet away from him (regardless of whether he could make out what they were saying), but not so deaf that a set of hearing aids would allow him to carry on the kind of subdued conversations that take place in an operating room? On the other hand, it doesn't specify how long the delay was. If it was just a few seconds, it might have had more to do with him not being able to process information as opposed to not noticing it. I wonder how old he is and what is mental state is like. Plus, if he was allowing unlicensed people to perform procedures, that doesn't say a lot about his concern for his patients' well-being.
