Liberal_in_LA's Journal‘Show me your stethoscope,’ nurse Facebook group responds to ‘The View’ mocking nurse for wearing 1
Have the folks on the view never gone to the doctor? Nurses have stethoscopes.A Facebook group called “Show me your stethoscope” has made it clear, you don’t mess with nurses. If anyone had any doubts about that before “The View,” co-host Michelle Collins poked fun at nurse and Miss America contestant Kelley Johnson, the backlash has made it clear you don’t denigrate the profession.
During the 2016 Miss America Pageant on Sunday (Sept. 13), Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson performed a monologue in which she talked about her profession as a nurse for the talent portion.
Then on Monday’s “The View,” Collins poked fun at the monologue, saying Johnson “basically read her emails out loud — and shockingly did not win.” Collins adds, “She helps patients with Alzheimer’s, which is not funny, but I swear, you had to see it.”
But the comment from “The View” that has brought backlash online comes from Joy Behar, who quipped during the segment, “Why does she have a doctor’s stethoscope around her neck?”

The AACN reports that nurses out number physicians four to one.
Clayton said that Shepherd University graduates approximately 75 nurses per year.
“(Nurses) are the ones that pick up the problem and work in partnership with the physician,” Clayton said.
“The nurse is the one that watches the patient’s heart rate and breathing and calls the doctor,” Jennifer Foster said, an area emergency room and ICU nurse.
I have deep ties to the nursing profession and find the comments made by The View anchors incredibly ignorant and rude.
My brother, Chad, a registered nurse has worked in an intensive care unit, the emergency department and currently is a flight nurse. In every single one of these departments, he needs to use “his” stethoscope to assess his patients.

Jeb stood on his tiptoes for debate group photo to catch the eye of "the love of his life"
Jeb Bush Explains Why He Stood On Tiptoes For GOP Group Pho
"Were you looking for someone?" Hemmer asked. "Or were you looking to be a little taller than the guy there at your right?"
Bush stood next to his chief rival, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, in the photo. But he insisted that he just made himself taller to catch his wife's eye out in the audience.
"I was looking over to the press to see where my wife was sitting because she's the love of my life and just I need to have eye contact with her before we started," Bush explained. "You've been married 42 years that's the kind of thing you do."

Pets are 'lazy thinkers' compared to wild wolves and domestication may be to blame
Have humans made dogs STUPID? Pets are 'lazy thinkers' compared to wild wolves and domestication may be to blame
Study compared how 10 wolves and 20 dogs solved a puzzle to reach food
Wolves were more persistent and successful than the domestic animals
The dogs looked to humans for guidance rather than tackling the problem
Scientists say domestication has changed how dogs tackle problems
They may be man's best friend, but dogs have little to thank humans for it seems.
Research suggests the domesticated pets can't solve problems as well as their wild cousins because living with us has made them 'incapable of thinking for themselves.'
In tests, experts presented a 'puzzle box' containing food to a group of dogs, and a group of wolves and while the wolves were capable of breaking inside, the dogs looked to humans for help.
----
Dr Udell gave 10 wolves, 10 pet dogs and 10 shelter dogs a clear box containing a piece of sausage.
To get inside, the dogs needed to pull off the lid using a length of rope.
They were presented with the puzzle both when a familiar human was present and when the human was not absent.
They were additionally given two minutes each to get inside the box.
Eight of the 10 wolves managed to solve the puzzle and eat the snack while just one of the 20 dogs managed the problem.
Dr Udell, whose work is published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, said the wolves tended to be more persistent than the dogs.

Domestication appears to have left dogs less able to solve problems than their wild wolf counterparts. Instead of tackling new problems themselves they look to humans for help. The picture above shows a dog that has got its head stuck in a decorative wall

Seattle officer who arrested black man carrying golf club as a cane fired for racial bias, confrontational manner
The white Seattle officer who arrested an African-American man she claimed swung a golf club at her was fired Tuesday for her racial bias and combative approach, the city's police chief said.
Officer Cynthia Whitlatch drew an outcry when the video of the July 2014 arrest showed William Wingate, 69, doing nothing besides leaning on the club like a cane.
The Seattle Police Department released the video in January and worked with the City Attorney's Office to dismiss all charges against Wingate.

“Your perceptions of race and other protected categories appear to be so deeply seated that they likely impacted the authoritarian manner in which you treated this man and your refusal to deviate from that approach towards an individual whose actions did not warrant such treatment,” the document said.

Syrian father tripped by Hungarian camerawoman arrives in Barcelona with his son to start new life
Osama Abdul Mohsen and his young son, Zaid, made headlines globally last week after they were filmed being kicked by Petra Laszlo as they fled across a field on the Hungarian-Serbian border.
The pair, who were among dozens of migrants attempting to escape police at the crossing, ended up in Germany, where media reports revealed Mohsen had worked as a football coach in Syria.
And now, staff at a school for football coaches in the suburb of Getafe in Spain have tracked down the devoted father - and offered to help him rebuild his life by giving him a job and accommodation.

Muslim teen creates clock, shows teachers, gets arrested
When Ahmed Mohamed went to his high school in Irving, Texas, Monday, he was so excited. A teenager with dreams of becoming an engineer, he wanted to show his teacher the digital clock he'd made from a pencil case.
The 14-year-old's day ended not with praise, but punishment, after the school called police and he was arrested. A photo shows Ahmed, wearing a NASA t-shirt, looking confused and upset as he's being led out of school in handcuffs.
"They arrested me and they told me that I committed the crime of a hoax bomb, a fake bomb," the freshman later explained to WFAA after authorities released him.
Irving Police spokesman Officer James McLellan told the station, "We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only tell us that it was a clock."
The teenager did that because, well, it was a clock, he said.
On Wednesday, police announced that the teen will not be charged.

When Ahmed was called out of class, he said he was brought into a room with four police officers, one of whom said, "Yup. That's who I thought it was."

NYPD agrees to stop apartment raids looking for man who died 9 years ago
Brooklyn woman who was so frazzled by NYPD cops banging on her door looking for her late husband that she taped the death certificate to their apartment door has accepted $10,000 from the city to settle her lawsuit.
Security guard James Jordan had four outstanding warrants for public drinking when he died in 2006, but that didn't stop arrest-hungry cops from the 79th Precinct from pounding on his apartment door in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
“Every time they do a sweep they come here,” widow Karen Fennel, 56, told the Daily News last year. “It’s very upsetting.”
After Fennell filed suit in Brooklyn Federal Court alleging that cops kept barging in to her apartment, the NYPD admitted the mistake and vowed to update its paperwork.
____!
The city had previously settled with Jordan’s son, James Jr., for $10,000, and his friend, Anthony Solis, for $8,500. Both were plaintiffs in the suit. They claimed they were falsely arrested for possession of a pocket knife during an illegal raid by cops looking for the dead man.

a family fights to keep its area 51 land. the Air Force wants it for 5.2 million
This week, Sheahan visited his father's grave site for what he thinks will be the last time, now that the U.S. Air Force wants to buy the land and has vowed to use eminent domain to get it. The Sheahan family, which has owned the land in southern Nevada since the 1880s, doesn't like the government's price: $5.2 million for 400 acres of land and mining rights.
The Sheahan family has owned Groom Mine, a piece of land in Area 51, for more than 125 years
A September 10 deadline to accept the offer has passed with no agreement, and Joe Sheahan is digging in for a legal fight.
"If I come out with nothing, so be it," he told CNN. "I'm not going to lay down and say it's OK."
The Air Force wants the land because, after decades of escorting family members into the highly restricted space, it can no longer ensure the family's safety during the "near-24/7 operation" at the base, officially known as "The Nevada Test and Training Range."
"We've tried to do everything we can, include canceling missions when they come out," said Col. Thomas Dempsey, commander of the facility. "And that's a tremendous expense to taxpayers."
