The moment I read this article "City may discipline EMS workers"
I knew I had to get the thoughts of my great friend Doug, who happens to be an EMT soon to be a paramedic working on his nursing degree.
He had some great thoughts on this so I will direct you to his tremendous blog posting on this case,

R.I.P. Doug Feiger, leader of the Knack,
Doug Feiger, leader of the Knack, dies in Woodland Hills - LA Daily News
I wasnt much of a Knack fan but I did love "My Sharona" and so did most of America in 1979. Disco had really sapped the energy out of the mainstream music scene by this time and then came this huge burst of fresh and new rock out of Detroit and set rock back on the forefront of the popular music landscape.
"My Sharona" spent 6 consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in August and September of 1979, thus making it Billboard's top song of 1979.

this is going to be a huge race for all horse racing fans to watch. I hope this gets some decent coverage on ESPN and brings people back to "the sport of Kings".
I will have to say I going with Rachel Alexandra. She has proven her strength and speed against the boys at the Preakness this year.
