Sorry We Have To Let You Go, Can You Repay Your Bonus On The Way Out?
=================================
John Schuett got laid off from a Silicon Valley telecom firm -- and then his former employer told Schuett to repay 1,250 worth of a signing bonus because he didn't stay at the firm a full year.

Schuett got a $2,500 signing bonus when he signed up with San Jose-based Valiant Networks. In October, he lost his job after just six months. Soon after, he received a letter from Valiant threatening him with a collection agency if he didn't return half the bonus.



EEEE OWWWW OHHHH YOW!!!!!!!!!!!
=================================
An inmate at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre who was told he has flesh-eating disease on his genitals is being treated in hospital, where he is scheduled to undergo reconstructive surgery this week.

Marlon Gidluck's family is accusing jail officials of delaying treatment, causing him to suffer needlessly.

Gidluck, 22, compares the damage done by the infection as being akin to putting his penis "in a pencil sharpener." Half of his penis had to be removed to clear away dead tissue and infected areas.

The mind of da Vinci: where design and practicality meet, have lunch, do a little bridge design, then a little painting, then invent the helicopter, then move on to something else. This bridge makes a visit to Norway more likely for me.

You are walking down a winding dirt back road. It is about an hour before sunset, crisp and cool. You look up and a vast distance down the path you see a figure heading in your direction. You are surprised to have seen someone so far away. But, you keep walking, expecting nothing more than a friendly nod as you pass. He gets closer. You see he has a flowing red cape. He is closer--a blue bodysuit with a yellow-red crest on the chest. Closer--craggy features on a chalk-white face, and blue highlights in a disheveled mop of raven-black hair. You and he are fifty yards apart. You, and Bizarro, the cracked mirror image of Superman are twenty yards apart. You approach on the lonely country avenue. You nod. He salutes, and flies off.
