Biker Tries to do a Good Deed | cnbnews.net

On January 9th, a group of Pekin, Illinois bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge . So they stopped.

George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper, and says, \”What are you doing?\”

She says, \”I\’m going to commit suicide.\”

While he didn\’t want to appear \”sensitive,\” he didn\’t want to miss a be-a-legend opportunity either so he asked … \”Well, before you jump, why don\’t you give me a kiss?\”

So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that … and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another one.

After they finished, George gets approval from his biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, and says, \”Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That\’s a real talent you\’re wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?\”

\”My parents don\’t like me dressing up like a girl.\”

It\’s still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.

Box Score | Recap | College Football Highlights

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Sean Mannion threw for 276 yards and a touchdown, Oregon State’s defense smothered Wisconsin’s Montee Ball and the Beavers upset the No. 13 Badgers 10-7 on Saturday.

Mannion connected with Brandin Cooks on a 20-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half to give the Beavers a 10-0 lead then turned it over to the Oregon State (1-0) defense that forced two turnovers and held Ball to 61 yards rushing.

The win snapped Wisconsin’s 33-game non-conference winning streak, the second-longest in the country behind LSU.

Wisconsin finished with 207 yards and only 35 on the ground. It was the lowest total yardage for Wisconsin in five years. The previous non-conference loss for Wisconsin (1-1) came early in the 2003 season when the Badgers lost to UNLV.

Battaglia: Reach Out to Troubled Troops

By Claudette Roulo

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2012 – The military’s top enlisted leader wants service members to use September’s National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month as an opportunity to learn what to do when a fellow service member, family member or veteran reaches out for help.

Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Bryan B. Battaglia, senior enlisted advisor to Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said service members who seek assistance — and those who are in a position to offer it — need to know that it’s OK not to be OK.
