Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Delano today and during the presentation at least two students fainted. Photographer Casey Christie got a photo of one of the students and the Gov helping her up.
Here's the info Casey sent with the photo: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger helps a Cesar Chavez High School AP student, advanced placement, up off of the stage after she fainted in the middle of the governor's speech Thursday in Delano. She was one of two students who fainted during the governor's speech after the students had stood on the stage for about an hour during lunchtime. Both students were fine after the incident. Bonus: Now you can even read the transcript of the Governor's comments.
During our morning news meeting each day we look at the stats for Bakersfield.com to see what you all are reading. It helps us figure out what you all are really interested in (of course it's not the only measuring stick we use.)
Well this morning, sitting at the top of the list -- with five times as many page views as the next story -- was an Associated Press story on a Border Patrol agent shooting and killing someone crossing the border illegally. Normally our wire stories get much lower traffic than our local stories. So when one jumps to the top it's usually a big hint that some site is linking to our story. Some site with a big audience. Sometimes it's Fark.com. Today it is WorldNetDaily. If you haven't heard of WorldNetDaily, check out their wikipedia entry. What does a Twinkie look like after falling seven stories? Being web video geeks, we shot the whole thing. Enjoy. He got just about all the final matches and stayed up until 4 a.m. editing them. You can watch the video here. We have gotten a ton of viewers on the video -- especially the final match in the 160 pound weight class. Apparently this was a pretty awesome match. Several wrestling message boards have been buzzing about the winner's prowess. My favorite quotes: "Welch is just a junior. After he gives up the first takedown, he just eats this dude's lunch. Watch the footsweep at about 2:15." from huskermat.com forums "This kid is amazing, watch how he gets taken down at the begining, then like he is pissed he was scored on, just dismantles the poor kid he's wrestling against." from themat.com forums |
