Violently Bored Americans Begin Looting Puzzle Stores
NORTHWOOD, NHIsolated and desperate for a fun new hobby or pastime in the face of social-distancing measures implemented to fight Covid-19, hysterical mobs of violently bored citizens have begun looting puzzle stores across the country, sources confirmed Friday. People were grabbing up the jigsaws, the crosswords, the sudokuseven climbing over each other to get to the Rubiks Cubes, if you can believe that, said Howard Beaman, owner of the now-devastated Piece Time Puzzles, one of several hundred such specialty stores that reportedly had their windows smashed and saw their entire inventories seized by panicked Americans stuck at home and in dire need of a suitable diversion.

Five Years After a Nasty Crash, a Symbolic Layup for Josh Speidel
The two basketball buddies from Indiana, Josh Speidel and Everett Duncan, envisioned this happening hundreds of times in their careers at the University of Vermont: Duncan finding Speidel with a bounce pass, and Speidel finishing with a layup.
Instead, it happened only once, on Tuesday, when the Catamounts celebrated their seniors during the last game of the regular season. That the play happened at all was a testament to Speidels resilience, and to the work of many others at the campus that sits about 45 miles south of the Canadian border.
Shortly after committing to Vermont as a prized recruit, Speidel, now a redshirt senior, suffered a severe brain injury in a February 2015 car accident. Speidel, who had been known for his scoring and rebounding, was still in a coma in an Indianapolis hospital when Vermont Coach John Becker visited him and promised his parents, David and Lisa, that the university would honor his scholarship.

If the forum moderators would indulge me for posting a sports story here because this story is about so much more than basketball. It about a struggle and overcoming adversity. And as a Vermont alum, I am very proud of my alma mater.

Stephan Ross, a death camps survivor and founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial, dies
Source: Boston Globe
Stephan Ross invoked images beyond nightmares when he spoke of his imprisonment as a boy in Nazi labor and death camps 10 in all. He survived brutal beatings and ravaging illnesses and dashed away when told to wait in a line of those chosen to die.
The history of my childhood is beyond what you can tell civilized people, he once said, but he did so to keep alive the memories of his relatives and the 6 million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust.
What I had to endure is beyond what many people can understand, he told the Globe in 1995. Surviving was a relentless struggle day to day, hour to hour.

Very sad. I lived in Boston because I worked on campaigns. I walked by the memorial countless times.
Heart Surgeon Admits He May Have Accidentally Left Sanders' Medical Records In Candidate chest.
LAS VEGASAcknowledging the blunder following public pressure that his patient release the confidential documents, embarrassed heart surgeon Dr. Michael Sharrer admitted to reporters Monday that he may have accidentally left Bernie Sanders medical records in the candidates chest. Honestly, I just set them down for a second, and before I knew it he was all closed up, said Sharrer, who speculated that he must have misplaced the Vermont senators health records inside Sanders thoracic cavity while performing the stent procedure with the scalpel in one hand and the files in the other back in October. It was a manila folder filled with all kinds of test results and charts. It probably got tucked behind the rib cage. I really should have been more careful considering that was our only copy. We could try an X-ray, but they might be difficult to read because theyre probably all bloody. Man, we should really switch to digital records. At press time, Sanders critics were calling upon the presidential candidate to cut open his chest to release the records.
