Name this disorder

Okay, some clues... The guy is from China. Yes, he lives in a country with government run health care. Funny thing (not so funny thing)is, he didn't have enough money to get his condition appropriately managed. Now, he can't pay the surgical cost to get his jaw removed. Okay... Name this TUMAAAAA.

The fat craze...Striving for less than mediocracy.

So, I was sent this article by a friend. What I want to know is... where has self dignity gone? I get the "I'll do anything to get fame" idea. But, seriously! Playing Russian Rulet and a spouse supporting such behavior? Here's my goal...I will strive for less than mediocracy in the surgical field. Ah, I now feel more respected. Speaking of... reason 111 not to become obese. You will win a tracheostomy tube (breathing through a tubed hole in your neck), to help with your sleep apnea in order to stop your heart from collapsing while you sleep. Uh, that is, if we can get the tube in. Mrs. Obama, I found a place for you to start your campaign.

An obese mother in the US is trying to put on weight in order to become the world's fattest woman.

Donna Simpson, from New Jersey, weighs 273kg (606.6 lbs) but told the Daily Mail newspaper she had her heart set on reaching her goal weight of 1000lb (450kg) in two years.

The 42-year-old already holds the title of the world's fattest mother after giving birth to her daughter in 2007 when she weighed 241kg.

"I'd love to be 1000lb ... it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down," Ms Simpson told the Daily Mail.

Ms Simpson, who needs a mobility scooter to go shopping, eats huge amounts of junk food each week and tries to move as little as possible so she doesn't burn off as many calories.

"I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favourite," she said.

Ms Simpson said she also loved eating sushi and would often eat 70 big pieces in one go.

Her 49-year-old partner Philippe — who she met on a dating site for plus-size people — was encouraging her to reach her goal, she said.

"I think he'd like it if I was bigger ... he's a real belly man and completely supports me," she said.

To put on enough weight, Ms Simpson will need to eat 12,000 calories a day, which is six times the recommended daily intake for women.

In order to pay for the enormous amounts of food she is eating — her weekly grocery bill is $815 — Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.

Falling Rock

While on family road trips when a kid, we would relentlessly ask my dad to tell us the story of "Falling Rock". He had an elaborate story on how this native american indian boy was to find the name that fit him. He ended up disappearing. So, THAT is the reason we have so many signs in Colorado to look out for Falling Rock.

Well...Looks like he decided to finally show up, with a BANG.

Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon I-70 closed to all traffic in both directions between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero

GLENWOOD CANYON – Just after midnight, on March 8, a large rockfall incident hit I-70 in Glenwood Canyon , near mile marker 125 just west of Hanging Lake Tunnel. (The rockslide on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 2004, was in the same general area, though rocks came from a different location on the hillside.) I-70 is closed in both directions to all traffic at Glenwood (mm 116) and at Dotsero (mm 133). While there is no estimate for a re-open time, Colorado Department of Transportation will blast and break up larger boulders today and continue work to assess when a portion of the roadway may be opened for travel. CDOT will implement emergency contracting procedures and meet with contractors over the next couple of days as crews develop repair plans. It is estimated that this slide brought 20 boulders onto the interstate, ranging in size from 3 feet to10 feet in diameter. The largest is estimated to weigh about 66 tons. The rocks have made holes in the elevated sections of roadway—the largest being in the westbound lanes (closest to the hillside) and measuring 20 feet by 10 feet. Another hole in the lower eastbound lanes measures 6 feet by 6 feet. There are a half a dozen other holes and “dips” in the roadway, as well as areas where rocks are embedded. Most of these repair areas appear to be approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. Rocks are scattered over 100 yards of roadway. Also damaged are three sections (about 120 linear feet) of steel guard rail and 100 linear feet of median barrier. The damage is similar to that resulting from the 2004 rockfall incident. ALTERNATE ROUTES: from westbound I-70: exit at US 40/Empire to State Highway 13 and back to I-70; exit in Silverthorne and take State Highway 9 to US 40 and State Highway 13; exit at Wolcott/State Highway 131 to US 40 and State Highway 13. From eastbound I-70: exit at Rifle/State Highway 13 to US 40 and back to I-70. Travelers may also wish to use US highways 160, 285 and 50 if traveling to destinations south. I-70 is not expected to open any time soon. CDOT appreciates the patience of travelers and want everyone to be assurred that crews are doing everything possible to get the roadway safely open to traffic.
