The Ultimate Rejection Letter
2007-09-20 01:36:45
Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

Forklift removes 900-pound man from home
2007-09-19 13:16:11
Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health.
Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by the nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help, Fire Chief Tom Cochran said.
Cochran said the man had not left his home since 2003.
The man’s brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that creates a chronic hunger feeling that can lead to overeating and life-threatening obesity.
Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house. They covered the man with a blue tarp to shield him from onlookers and slid the platform onto a flatbed truck for a trip to Sparrow Hospital.

Man Says Wild Sex Caused SUV Accident
2007-09-18 19:40:18
A 22-year-old carnival worker blames two friends having sexual intercourse in the back seat of his car for an accident in which his Chevrolet S-10 Blazer struck a telephone pole.
Joshua D. Frank, who is living in a trailer parked on the Latah County Fairgrounds, pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor charge of failing to notify a police officer of a traffic accident. That’s after he left the vehicle at the site of the mishap. He was fined $188.
Frank told Moscow Police Department officers that he was driving the vehicle near downtown early Saturday while a man and woman were having sex in the rear of the vehicle.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Frank told authorities that the actions of the pair in the back caused the Blazer, which “was top heavy anyway,” to become “tippy” and lose control.
Frank left the accident scene with a minor head wound and returned to his trailer.
The other two occupants of the vehicle were treated for injuries, according ...

Mystery Illness Causes Obsessive Hair-Pulling
2007-09-17 13:20:44
Pearson pulled out most of the hair on the side of her head after a stressful event in 1997. “When I was 12-years-old, I started pulling out my hair very severely,” she said. “By the time I was 14, I was nearly bald. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-30’s that I actually got effective treatment.”
Pearson was suffering from trichotillomania, also known as “trich.” It’s a relatively unknown condition and it affects about 3 to 5 percent of the population.
“Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder; this is where people have the urge that they can’t control to pull their hair out,” said Allison Ashley-Koch, PhD, lead researcher at Duke Univeristy Medical Center.
Patients typically have bald spots.
“The most common site is the scalp, the eyes, the body, arms, legs, really about anywhere that there is hair is fair game for pulling,” Pearson said.
Researchers say it’s unclear exactly what’s cau ...
