Keep an eye on the kids in your life as more teens have been tryin’ to play this ‘game’. According to The Huffington Post , it has dangerous consequences : Detroit doctors report that some area teens are partaking in dangerous trend: a “chemical game of chicken” that can result in permanent damage to their bodies. In the game, which is called the “salt and ice challenge,” teens burn their skin by applying ice to a layer of salt on their skin and holding it for as long as possible. CBS News reported that adding salt can drop the freezing point of ice as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in severe injuries to the skin, including frostbite. WDIV reports that injuries related to the “salt and ice challenge” have been seen in Detroit recently, with teens coming to the emergency room with first-, second-and third-degree burns from the dangerous game. Dr. Ryan Shear of Botsford Hospital in Detroit said that in extreme cases, the damage could affect muscles, fat and bone, leading to permanently impaired range of motion. Shear told WDIV that he personally has treated three or four teens for “salt and ice challenge” burns in the past six months. He added that untreated burns — such as ones purposefully hidden from parental view — can increase the risk of infection. The “salt and ice challenge” made headlines in June after a Pittsburgh boy burned a cross onto his back playing the game with his brother and friends. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the boy’s severe, blistered injuries required drug treatment with a lotion that had to be applied four times a day for months and prevented him from swimming or going outside shirtless for the summer. How stupid bored can these kids really be?? Images via tumblr

Did You Know?? Dangerous ‘Salt and Ice’ Game’s Growing In Popularity With Teens
This sounds like a safe idea… According to The Daily Mail , Utah lawmakers aren’t too happy about the planned weapons training convention that’s set for tomorrow: The Utah Shooting Sports Council has said they usually gather around a dozen teachers each year for training to carry concealed weapons but this year demand skyrocketed after the tuition was offered for free. The powerful lobby claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut has been the catalyst for the massive interest, but Carol Lear, a chief lawyer for the Utah Office of Education said that the move was a ‘terrible idea.’ Arguing that teachers could be overpowered for their guns or misfire causing an accidental shooting, Lear said: ‘It’s a horrible, terrible, no-good, rotten idea.’ More than 200 Utah teachers are expected to pack a convention hall on Thursday for six hours of concealed-weapons training as organizers seek to arm more educators in the aftermath of the school shooting carried out by Adam Lanza in which 27 people, including 20 first-grade children died. The Utah Shooting Sports Council said it normally gathers a dozen teachers every year for instruction that’s required to legally carry a concealed weapon in public places. The state’s leading gun lobby decided to offer teachers the training at no charge to encourage turnout, and it worked. Organizers who initially capped attendance at 200 were exceeding that number by Wednesday and scrambling to accommodate an overflow crowd. ‘Schools are some of the safest places in the world, but I think teachers understand that something has changed – the sanctity of schools has changed,’ Clark Aposhian, one of Utah’s leading gun instructors, said Wednesday. ‘Mass shootings may still be rare, but that doesn’t help you when the monster comes in.’ Gun-rights advocates say teachers can act more quickly than law enforcement in the critical first few minutes to protect children from the kind of shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead December 14th at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. We understand wanting to feel safe but how would you feel if this was your kids school?? Images via tumblr

One of the hardest hit areas during Hurricane Sandy had another natural disaster today. According to The Daily Mail , the pregnant mother was already sick and injured when rescuers came to it’s side: A live beached whale washed ashore in New York’s Breezy Point but it may not stay that way for long. Firemen and rescue workers are spraying the whale with water in hopes of keeping it alive, but when marine mammal experts arrived on the scene they said that it would be best to let the sick whale die naturally. ‘The whale is severely emaciated. It’s in very bad shape. It’s a very sick whale,’ said Kim Durham, a representative from the Riverhead Foundation in Long Island. ‘Picking it up…would be inhumane at this point,’ she told Newsday. ‘Probably we’ll let nature take its turn with this animal.’ The whale is thought to be anywhere between 30 and 50 feet in length and most likely is a female humpback. The whale is thought to be pregnant, but that has not been confirmed. ‘I haven’t seen a whale like this in Breezy since I was a kid,’ local Joan Washington told The New York Post. The Breezy Point neighborhood in Queens has had its share of emergency activity this fall, as it was one of the hardest-hit areas during Hurricane Sandy. The whale was called in around 10.40am on Wednesday morning and volunteer fire fighters responded as best they could. ‘They couldn’t get the pump going so I was using a bucket to keep her nice and wet,’ said Ed Manley, a man who came from Florida to help out at Point Breeze ever since the hurricane. The whale was reportedly moving its flippers and opening its mouth which a biologist told The New York Times were signs of stress. ‘When large whales strand, it’s very difficult,’ Mendy Garron from the National Marine Fisheries Service told the paper. The whale was reportedly spotted by Lou Bassolino, a 66-year-old Breezy Point resident who regularly drives to the beach in the morning searching for his boat that washed away months ago. This morning, he told Newsday that he got his wife and grown daughters to help try and save the whale by doing the first thing Google suggested: pour water on it. ‘We’ve been through so much devastation here, we just wanted to save something. We wanted to save that whale,’ Mr Bassolino said. With all the violence that’s been going on, we’re glad to hear some people out there are doing good things. Images via twitter/tumblr

That’s a slippery slope you’re sliding down… Sarah Silverman Defends Quentin Tarantino’s Use Of The N-Word In D’Jango Unchained According to Sarah Silverman, Spike Lee isn’t respecting the code of artists that declares that any and everything can and will be used in composing creative works. Lee recently sparked controversy after he deemed Tarantino’s latest piece of cinema, D’Jango Unchained , “disrespectful to (his) ancestors” due to the use of the N-word over 100 times. While out in Los Angeles, Silverman was asked what she thought of Spike’s refusal to see D’Jango According to Silverman: “Doesn’t it take place like during slavery? Wouldn’t it be odd if they didn’t have that horrific word in it?” “I think slave owners said it a lot, that’s why it has a stigma to this day.” While Silverman does claim to be a huge Spike Lee fan, she also acknowledges that he has some strange opinions when it comes to film. “I love Spike Lee, we were just talking about School Daze, but he’s a got a lot of mishegas (yiddish word for “crazy weird isht”) with art. I think you can’t really tell art what to do” What do you think about the use of the n-word so repetitively in D’Jango? Are you too offended by the word to even SEE the movie??? Image via WENN

Good Samaritans or white guilt at work ? It’s no secret that many great white rock and pop acts owe their sound and swag to black music, but it may come as a surprise that some artists have stepped up to the plate to give back to those less fortunate after their passing. According to National Enquirer reports : ROCK ’N’ ROLL SECRET: Too many white-boy rock groups (especially you, Led Zeppelin!) NEVER acknowledged their debt to those old-timey black blues musicians whose art they ripped off – but the Rolling Stones just can’t stop payin’ it back! Said a longtime business associate/close friend of the aging rockers: “It’s a little-known fact, but MICK JAGGER and the guys pay for the funerals of ALL the old bluesmen and blueswomen – most recently picking up burial expenses for the late, great ETTA JAMES and blues guitarist HUBERT SUMLIN. And nobody knows this because Mick and The Stones work hard to keep it quiet!” Kudos to the Stones. Can you think of some other white groups that owe a debt to black music? WENN

We already knew this but we’re glad someone ‘ official ‘ finally came out and said it. According to The Huffington Post , alcohol has a higher affect than good ‘ole mary does when it comes to our brains: A teen who consumes alcohol is likely to have reduced brain tissue health, but a teen who uses marijuana is not, according to a new study. Researchers scanned the brains of 92 adolescents, ages 16 to 20, before and after an 18-month period. During that year and a half, half of the teens — who already had extensive alcohol and herb-use histories — continued to use mary-jane and alcohol in varying amounts. The other half abstained or kept consumption minimal, as they had throughout adolescence. The before-and-after brain scans of the teens consuming typically five or more drinks at least twice a week showed reduced white matter brain tissue health, study co-author Susan Tapert, neuroscientist at University of California, San Diego, told HuffPost. This may mean declines in memory, attention, and decision-making into later adolescence and adulthood, she said. However, the level of herb use — up to nine times a week during the 18 months — was not linked to a change in brain tissue health. The researchers did not test performance; they only looked at brain scans. The study was conducted by researchers at UC San Diego and is scheduled to be published in the April issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. The damage occurs because white matter brain tissue develops throughout adolescence and into a person’s 20s, Joanna Jacobus, postdoctoral fellow at the UC San Diego, and co-author of the study, told HuffPost. Part of that still-developing brain tissue is where decision-making ability comes from, which can exacerbate substance use. “It becomes a cycle. If teens decrease their tissue health and cognitive ability to inhibit themselves, they might become more likely to engage in risky behavior like excessive substance use,” Jacobus said. The researchers are not sure why alcohol had an effect and that ‘green yahmean’ did not. They said the study results cannot be considered definitive without more research. They also said they do not know if the reduced brain tissue health is permanent. Because the researchers followed the subjects for 18 months, they were able to at least partially monitor preexisting differences in the two groups. But Jacobus conceded that eliminating other factors — such as genetics, home environment, and even minimal use of other drugs — is very difficult. Each teen in the study received brain imaging, a detailed substance-use assessment, and toxicology screening at the beginning of the study and at the end of the study — as well as substance-use interviews every six months. Do you think this study, along with the legalization of mary in more states, will cause more and more teens to start smoking at earlier ages?? Images via shutterstock

They say they’ve exhausted every other possible lead. And according to the LA Times , police can’t solve the puzzling crime due to Kendrick’s clean record: It was dawn when word spread throughout the neighborhood. People stepped outside to absorb the news and then lingered in disbelief. Kendrick Blackmon — a 22-year-old church musician they all watched grow up — had been shot to death driving home in South Los Angeles. Months have passed since that April morning and there is still no answer as to why an affable young man who steered clear of trouble was gunned down. Authorities say they have exhausted every lead. Now, Kendrick’s family and friends are hoping that a $50,000 reward offered by the city of Los Angeles will turn the tide by encouraging witnesses to come forward. “Before I leave this Earth I hope I find out who did this,” Kendrick’s grandmother, Alberta Blackmon, said Thursday, wiping tears from her cheeks. Standing inside the 77th Street Community Police Station, the 68-year-old woman who raised Kendrick called the shooters “cowards” and pleaded for the public’s help. “If anyone out there knows anything, please let the police know,” she urged. Detectives say Kendrick’s clean past has made it difficult to determine a motive. He was not affiliated with any gangs and appeared to be well liked in the community. Yet the senseless nature of the act smacks of being the work of a gang, said Det. Mel Hernandez. On April 21 about 1:30 a.m., Kendrick was driving his white Chevrolet Monaco south on San Pedro Street. He and two friends were on their way home from a party. As they neared Century Boulevard, a black sport utility vehicle, carrying what appeared to be five men in their 20s, pulled up next to them and opened fire, Hernandez said. Kendrick, the only person hit, was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He sustained a gunshot wound to the upper right cheek, according to coroner’s records. He was just six blocks from the home he shared with his grandmother. Now, Alberta Blackmon said, the house is eerily quiet. It was Kendrick who filled the rooms with jokes, brought over friends, stocked food in the refrigerator and made her feel safe at night. Kendrick’s death has left an emptiness in the neighborhood. People stop by to check up on Alberta Blackmon, who now lives alone. Alberta said she was harder on Kendrick than her other grandchildren because she saw his potential. She nagged him, dished out tough love, constantly said she expected more. “Don’t you love me?” he asked time and again. Alberta said she always gave the same reply: “I want you to be able to take care of yourself when I’m gone.” She never imagined it would be the other way around. We hope his shooter is caught soon so his family can finally have closure. Images via facebook/shuterstock

Like Lindsay is the epitome of hygiene…SMH Lindsay Lohan Did Not Want To Kiss Charlie Sheen In “Scary Movie 5″ According to TMZ reports : Who KNOWS where his mouth’s been??? At least that’s Lindsay Lohan’s explanation for shutting down a “Scary Movie 5″ kissing scene between her and Charlie Sheen — saying she refused to lock lips with him in the movie because of his spotty history. Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, she was supposed to kiss Charlie three times during their “Scary Movie” bedroom scene, but she ultimately refused to do it because of Charlie’s wild partying past. It’s unclear what Lindsay was so paranoid about — but we’re told BOTH parties had to sign releases that they didn’t have cold sores. Lindsay’s telling friends she warned producers ahead of time that she had issues with kissing Charlie — who’s had considerable dental work done in the last couple years — but they didn’t change the script until it was time to shoot the scene. Ho, who knows where YOUR mouth has been!!! We’re told they used a body double for some of the kissing parts — with moderate success — but otherwise tried to write out the kissing entirely. According to sources, Charlie was cool as a cucumber about the whole thing, and never voiced any concerns with the rewrite … or Lindsay’s objections. In fact, as we first reported, Charlie eventually gave Lindsay $100,000 to help pay off her taxes. See there, Charlie still showed yo’ Hollywood trailer trash azz some love. Now, kiss that man dammit! Image via Weinstein Company
