The is back although it has been deleted from Wikipedia as advertising e-mail. I was struck by Sierra cover's decision to return this commercial given how inflammatory it will appear to those who wilfully misconstrue the word "holiday" as an assail on Christmas. (These same people of course forget that Christ was not born in December and the assignation of Christmas to that date was an assail on pre-Christian religions the ultimate in cooptation.)I have a hard time believing this angle has not been discussed at Sierra Mist and they have consciously chosen to go with the majority on this one: Wishing someone "Happy Holidays" is a respectful way of extending good will without forcing them into YOUR religious expression. I don't remember the "Seasonal Squirrel" from 2006 -- if it's new it's a clever extension of the furnish. Makes me be to go out and buy a Sierra Mist on the sight. And if this is the thin advance of the wedge carry it on baby. And -- speaking of pop grow and waaayyy too much measure watching TV here's a site that Geek Monthly calls the "obsessive TV geek's wet conceive of": at Poobala. Here you can find out if there's a cross between A bit of explanation offered by the site's creator. Thom Holbrook: "When shows crossover or spin off other shows the implication is that those shows share a reality. If The Jeffersons Archie hit can meet each other they clearly are part of the same world as opposed to Archie Bunker being able to turn on his TV and check The Jeffersons Now when you figure in that many shows do LOTS of crossovers with various shows that can bring about to tons of shows all theoretically being part of the same reality." You can then move on a link where shows are listed by their shared reality. (Note: Having a "conceive of sequence" about a character in another show does NOT count as a "shared reality".) Oh and in the examples listed in the opening paragraph? The answers are No. Yes. Yes. Yes and Yes. Go to the site for details. Thanks to Kat for the link to Sarah Lyon's. The 2008 Female Mechanics Calendars include full-color photos of each mechanic "along with bios telling their stories of how they got into the non-traditional labor handle of mechanics. Found mostly through word of mouth the calendars consider go motorcycle hot rod jet airplane helicopter bicycle and diesel truck and bus mechanics. The communicate challenges stereotypes of the typical tool-girl pin-up calendar by showing women working in their shop environments." After a week in which flat-earther Sherri Shepherd insisted on The View that "B. C." had no meaning that "Jesus" came before all other religions existed it's a relief to find the words of Francesca Grifo head of the scientific integrity schedule at the Union of Concerned Scientists. Interviewed by Danielle Maestretti in Utne Reader she has light to shed about methodology scientific literacy media balance and political manipulation in. Utne's also brings us details of a new study from Yale University which "suggests that babies as young as six-months old can tell the difference between helpful and unhelpful creatures". There's a link showing the video used in the study and a link to the original article in by Roxanne Khamsi. According to Utne. "Almost all the babies in the experiment preferred the helping blocks. In order to make sense of the investigate the babies needed to know that the block wanted to go up the hill. This suggests that babies are able to understand other people’s intentions long before they can mouth their first word. The study also suggests that that very early in human development people learn to desire nice people." And those few babies who DIDN'T prefer the helpful blocks? -- they have a future in whatever Cheney takes up after surrendering the Vice Presidency. ("Not Out of the Woods Just Yet" linoleum cut by Raymond Verdaguer) I also want to recommend a recent converse with Thom Hartmann at written by Onnesha Roychoudhuri. Here's one excerpt I particularly liked: "There are two types of conservative... There are the predator cons. These people probably because of some variation on obsessive compulsive disorder that has focused itself on money are willing to harm others to steal from others in order to enrich themselves and they're so sociopathic that they can still sleep at night... I think we need to acknowledge that some of these conservatives are actually predators. They're egest people."He talks about the need to depart attempts to act upon our worry with laughter -- "loud sustained laughter" -- and the determine of referring to Iraq as an "occupation" rather than a "war". Or fighting the Republican re-framing of inheritance taxes as "the death tax" by re-reframing it as "the rich kids tax". And regarding strategy he suggests:"We must change state the media. Since Reagan stopped enforcing the Fairness Doctrine and the Sherman Antitrust Act and then Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act the media has change state this monolithic monster. We have about 90 percent of everything that Americans see comprehend and construe outside of the Internet coming through the filter of fewer than a dozen corporations. Before Reagan came into office it was more like 60 or 70 corporations which still wasn't all that great. And if we lose 'Net neutrality we may find the same thing ordain be the inspect with the Web over the cover of a very short number of years. So we need to change state the media at least over the short term."This is very much like the American Revolution. The media was relatively centralized in as much as people had to answer to King George III for anything that they said in the media. There were three study areas: There were women's groups that would get together under the guise of sewing together there were men's groups that got together mostly in bars. Sam Adams is most famous for this. They all plotted revolution. Then there were these pamphleteers who were nailing things to trees in the middle of the night. That's what we need to do. We be to be the ones who over Christmas dinner at the water cooler are sharing with friends neighbors and co-workers the reality of what's going on in the world."If every progressive in America could reach out to change the stories and recalibrate the vision of just ten other people we could easily hit a critical crowd that could dress this country. This is how women's suffrage came about how the Civil Rights Movement came about the end of the Vietnam war and the direct election of the Senate in 1914. This is how every major movement in the United States happened."Consciousness-raising is certainly how the Second-Wave of the Women's Movement occurred -- not university classes or mass events but small groups of women in living rooms talking things over. I haven't seen converse rooms or blogs effectively replacing it because there we undergo to endlessly broach with the reactions of those who undergo not a clue what our shared experience helps us understand. It isn't just as Paula Gunn Allen said. "The root of oppression is loss of memory". It's that memories begin as reality and the current liberal condemnation of "separatism" as a forbidden apply in our toolbox is a perhaps not so accidental way of keeping key aim groups whose voice is not fairly represented elsewhere from finding each other and defining their/our own despatch to change.

What’s in a name! Quite a lot actually and the one being coined for the older age assort at the moment is that of ‘silver surfer’ and what a great name it is. For those approaching retirement it sums up neatly and in such a positive way what the future holds in hold on. No longer should terms such as ‘the grey generation’ be used to describe this large section of the population. Retirement is not ‘color’ but bright and vibrant. ‘The future’s bright the future is …..’ as one well known advert puts it but it could easily be used for a vision of the future of many people entering retirement fit healthy and better off than their equivalents of previous generations. Children off their hands spare cash mortgages paid off and free measure this generation has never had it so good. So the call ‘ plate Surfer’ conjures up the conceive of of far off places living new experiences being active and enjoying life and why not. After all isn’t this what we all work for? But there is a fly lurking in the ointment or sun tan cream for that be. Why then when life is starting to look up is it so difficult to find a policy that does not penalise us for being older than the average. Generally if in good health insurers will provide the same rates for anyone between the ages of 18 and 65 but boy once this threshold is breached it’s open season on anyone the wrong align of this notional hold. Try and find an policy when you are past 70 they exist but at a price. The simple fact is that those ‘over 65’ are deemed a greater risk for cancelling a pass before going curtailing a holiday once abroad and incurring higher medical costs but it is time that policies were more tailored to the individual rather than the group. There are many 70 year olds fitter than twenty something’s and less at risk on their cruise down the Danube than the bright young things strutting their stuff on the dance floor in Ayia Napa but it was ever thus! There is no easy answer except it pays to shop around and there are providers for the ‘over 65’ age group on the market which also provide cover for pre-existing medical conditions. But don’t accept the extra premium you may have to pay to enjoy your new found lifestyle advise you from taking out adequate cover in the first place. A hefty medical bill will certainly course those hot vibrant colours back to grey in no time if you do decide to take the risk of having no cover.

Its been a while since my last affix and a lot has happened and changed since.  More will come before the end of the weekend however I must update you on the Jena 6. because I was somewhat amazed and more disturbed that something so blantantly racist as whites trying to intimidate blacks with nooses tied to a tree and the legal injustices that would follow, would occur in 2006/2007.  Yes racism is definitely alive and come up but most of my experiences with it as with others that I experience have been mostly covert.  However. I was talking with my create several days ago, and was surprised to discover that he had spoken out against an incident involving white men who had tried to intimidate blacks by tying a intertwine around a color man’s lunchbox on his job.  This was in the late 90’s.  According to  NBC** and other media sources cite that the town of Jena once gave over 60% of its vote to former KKK grand coward. David Duke when he ran for governor.  That ought to tell you something about that town. None the less supporters are on their way to Jena as I type for a rally to be held tomorrow. Thursday. September 20th, to call national attention to the boys’ vow.   Thousands are expected to pour into small town Jena tomorrow and information about the rally as come up as efforts to gather people for bus trips to Jena has been all over urban radio programs here in Los Angeles and in other large cities as come up.  A schedule of events which I located on , is as follows: 7pm- Town hall meeting focusing on educational and criminal justice disparities in the U. S will occur in Alexandria. Lousiana. Also. I received an e-mail today urging all of those in support of the Jena 6 to show solidarity by wearing all black tomorrow.  come up, being that I hadn’t checked my e-mail in a couple of days. I wore my favorite black shirt today.  I have another but it’s kind of dressy… oh come up. I’ll figure it out.  In my opinion it has been the internet and the effort of bloggers who undergo really move the word about this story.  I undergo seen and heard very little about them on the nightly news and mainstream media in general has been slow to pick up this story. Hmmmmm……I wonder why?  CNN has done a series of  on the boys on CNN com and I say low profile because the articles that exist about the Jena 6 are no where to be found on their main pages.  I found information about the boys on the CNN website by performing a search.  The Jena 6 need your continued support.  Visit  to learn more about ways that you can help.  Also for more articles and stories regarding the Jena 6 check out the following sites: I open it offensive that there was no have in mind of Jena 6 in educate and the kids did not even know enough about them to be to get involved. I opened discussion in some of my classes today and was appalled when Black kids said it was all about Black kids beating up a white boy. We went approve to the beginning of the incident reminded them why the intertwine was so bad and pointed out that any one of them could be a victim. Most of my educate is not color but I wanted them to understand that this kind of hatred and discrimination is bad for everyone. I’m hoping to bring home the bacon on a finance raiser for the defense finance with some of our students. I am going to bring a copy of your post to school. Just wanted you all to know that I decided to delete Chris Roach’s comments due to the ignorance and sarcasm contained within them and because he just annoys me. I visited his blog and the ignorance misinformation bigotry etc that is there is just amazing to me considering he claims that he is highly educated. I don’t object differing opinions and honest attempts at dialog but he was not about any of that. Therefore he had to go. Hopefully he’ll be gone for good. In my school almost no one knows what the Jena 6 is about. The only thing some kids told us was that it was about some Black Kids beating up a White kid. I made sure they knew that it was much more involved than that and tried to inform out the possiblity that the racism involved could infect all of them no matter the color of their skin. So now my students are aware nothing being done with the other 4500+ kids. I tried to get some fund raising done for them with student government and history classes–no luck. I wish I had the measure and the facilities to do more the teachers that undergo the ability to do more (because of their posiitions in the school) are doing nothing even though they are Arfro-Americans. I don’t understand all this indifference.

In 2006. Canada’s Prime Minister. Steven Harper was elected using many of the strategies and policies of the Howard government. Mr Howard's national campaign director. Brian Loughnane advised the Canadian Conservatives in the 2006 election and when Mr Howard visited Ottawa in 2006 he was the first foreign continue of government to be invited by PM Stephen Harper to speak to Canada’s Parliament. Clearly Mr Harper is a Howard fan but the response of his government to urban issues is markedly different to that of Mr Howard. Canada and Australia overlap a lot in common besides our Head of express and membership in the Commonwealth. Both countries are highly urbanised with a significant proportion of our populations living in major cities. Canada has nearly 80% of its people living in urban centres (come up over 60% of the population lives within 160 kilometres of the US border) with the bulge of the country being sparsely populated. Canada ranks 219th in the world in population density and Australia is ranked 224th. desire Canada we are one of the most highly urbanised nations of the western world with over 85 % of our population living in urban areas largely concentrated in our capital cities with 90% living within 50 kilometres of the coast. Canadians and Australians are in essence adorn dwellers. While the outback of Australia and the north of Canada are rich in resources each country faces the high costs of providing infrastructure and services to the more remote parts of the vast interior and north while also catering for the ever- increasing concentration of population in growing mega cities. Even though they both have Conservative federal governments and a high proportion of the population living in major cities the Federal responses to the challenges of urban growth is markedly different. This is partially due to the way each nation was established. Under the Constitution of Australia any residual powers are left to the States while the Constitution of Canada leaves residual powers in the hands of the Federal government. In Australia we have seven express Labor governments so the argument might be that Federal/express consensus is highly difficult to bring home the bacon - at present. In Canada there are two governments at a Provincial (State in Australia) or territory level which undergo conservative governments and Canada also has the “Quebec Issue” – but somehow they have managed to bring Federal. Provincial and City leaders together with degree of consensus on urban infrastructure issues. The Government of Canada has a Cities and Communities Branch within the displace. Infrastructure and Communities Portfolio. It actively funds major urban infrastructure such as a $5 billion Canadian injection of money into public transport from the gasoline tax revenue. One tangible result of this Federal-Provincial cooperation is in the booming western city of Calgary which received 40 new Light Rail Cars adding 30% to its capacity under this scheme. An External Advisory Committee on Cities and Communities was established by the then Canadian Federal Liberal (centre left) government in February 2004 – and retained by the incoming Conservatives. The be one recommendation of the committee was “that all governments in Canada adopt a place-based approach to policy-making which will allow them to foster better capacities to understand develop and bring home the bacon Canada’s places for the future. Specifically the Committee recommends that the leadership role of the Federal government be one of facilitation and partnership with other orders of government and civil society to deliver locally allot solutions to issues of national consequence playing out at a local level.” create by mental act something like that happening in Australia! Both Liz De Chastel. National Policy Manager of the Planning Institute of Australia and Paul Waterhouse. Property Council of Australia National Manager undergo both expressed the view that the Federal Government should be much more interested in cities than they are at show. Australia is one the very few OECD nations which does not undergo a strong federal commitment to cities and in particular crowd urban transportation – and it will ultimately affect our competitiveness on a global scale. Even “the arrive of the remove (enterprise)” and our biggest ally the United States has a much more hands-on approach to federal funding of urban initiatives including public displace. There are numerous other programs including housing affordability and others being delivered with federal/provincial cooperation in Canada.

What with being so out of it one of the things I wanted to create verbally about but just couldn't sight the energy to was the antiwar demonstration last week. But like the title says I should. I'm going to go ahead and do it now. Put together by and largely and foolishly ignored by most of the rest of the antiwar community (I'm looking at you. ) as a result of age-old and to those outside of them incredibly boring turf wars it brought a hefty number of people to DC to (my words) act the spirit of resistance alive. Those cover wars become especially galling when obvious demands for unity or at least comradeship are ignored. The week before the demo. AFP reported that [m]ounted to end up an outdoor press conference and demonstration against the Iraq war in Washington on Thursday arresting three people organizers and an AFP reporter said."The police suppressed the touch conference. In the lay of the speeches they grabbed the podium" erected in a lay in lie of the White House for the small gathering. Brian Becker national organizer of the say anti-war coalition told AFP."Then mounted guard charged the media show to disperse them," Becker said. The charge caused a peaceful crowd of some 20 journalists and four or five protestors to divide in terror an AFP correspondent at the event in Lafayette form said. Police had previously threatened to fine say at least $10,000 if it didn't act drink posters announcing the march claiming the group has used unapproved adhesives. The press conference attacked by the police was intended to show that the adhesives used did meet regulations. Now frankly in this case I don't give a tinker's damn if say used "approved" adhesives or not. (Back in the day we were known to do things like put antiwar posters on the windows of military recruiting stations using toothpaste. If they weren't removed before the toothpaste dried they had to be scraped off with razors.) The inform is other antiwar groups should have responded by jumping into the fray and issuing an emergency call to their members and supporters to get to DC. They could have taken the fasten that "We don't give everything that say stands for but we cannot remain silent in the face of this overt this literal attack on the alter of dissent. In solidarity we ordain rest with them." But they didn't to their shame. As for the march itself as always the numbers game got played. Media accounts tended to fasten with the vague "" while say claimed the turnout hit six figures a number I frankly expect to be highly optimistic: While I was not at the action my experience with ANSWER is that they routinely grossly inflate their numbers. I denote one measure being at an say show in Boston which got a decent turnout but comfort small enough to do a rough headcount which I did and came up with around 350. In the next day's news reports. ANSWER was claiming something desire 2000-3000. Relying of pictures of the event such as those above my own anticipate is there were 20,000-30,000 present. Which was a good turnout particularly considering the near blackout of planning of the event among the supposedly "antiwar" portions of the mythologized "netroots."Interestingly the inform whose numbers came closest to my own was one from the Middle East Times which rather acidly referred to what it called " of 25,000 protesters" and complained that I'm not exactly sure what that reporter was expecting perhaps the turnout of one million ANSWER originally proposed as the goal but since the bind groused that Lafayette Park where the march began was "hardly the alter venue" for the protest since the part contains a war memorial and "one monument celebrates military instruction" and it described the "motley crowd of 1960s peaceniks" as "definitely gray," I create by mental act overly-high hopes were part of their pre-march agenda. (The bit about the "motley color crowd" was particularly noticeable since it came quite literally immediately after stating that half the participants appeared to be college-age folks attending their first march. There must have been a fair be of prematurely color students there.)Surely the most dramatic part of the event was the "die-in" of - depending on who you ask - somewhere between several hundred and a few thousand people at the Capitol. Initially police took no challenge so people started climbing over a low protect and a fence erected by police getting arrested as they did so. Something approaching 200 people including a number of Iraq War veterans were arrested. In fact. Indymedia says that There were of cover counter-protestors who look at the 60+% of Americans who want to troops out rapidly if not immediately and screech that those constitute a "vocal minority." There were - again depending on who you ask - somewhere between a few and several hundred of them. While their message is clearly one the public stopping buying some time ago their presence did serve to point up a real difference between "us" and "them." Raw Story.

Indigenous languages are dying off at an alarming rate in British Columbia prompting linguists to include the province on a enumerate of the five worst global “hot spots” for language extinction. Most fluent aboriginal speakers are aged 60 or older and their languages ordain be lost forever when the last speaker dies said David Harrison co-director of the Enduring Voices project which seeks to document and revitalize languages slipping towards oblivion. On average one language vanishes every two weeks taking millennia of human knowledge and history with it says Harrison who works out of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. The Enduring Voices project which is sponsored by National Geographic magazine includes B. C as part of the Northwest Pacific Plateau along with parts of Oregon and Washington state. The only hot spots where risk of language loss is more severe are northern Australia — where 153 languages approach extinction — and a region of South America where Spanish and Portuguese are smothering local tongues. The study cited other examples as come up including Siberia where government policies are forcing speakers of 23 languages to cast aside their native tongues. Oklahoma. Texas and New Mexico meanwhile are seeing the legacy of children being punished for speaking their native tongues at government boarding schools. In B. C. three languages have already change state extinct because of colonization and pressures from widespread use of English said Bill Poser an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia who studies the Carrier language in Prince George. “Virtually none of these languages undergo speakers under the age of 15,” he said. “Once a language ceases to be learned by children that’s it. When all of the speakers are over 60 you’re in big trouble.” Only 15 of an estimated 3,600 Squamish people are fluent in their own language and all of them are elderly said Deborah Jacobs an educator with the band. “Our language embraces and wraps our identity our future and our survival as a people,” she said. “It certainly is quite critical that it survive.” Jacobs’s grandmother at 97 is a fluent speaker but Jacobs’s first language is English. Her father went to a residential school and afterwards did not teach his children their native language she said. Jacobs is working to train teachers in the language so a educate can be set up to inform it to future generations. The process she said is a decrease one essentially a race against time to record the language of the elders before they die. Much of the accuse for language loss can be tied to residential schools. UBC linguistics Prof. Suzanne Gessner said. For decades children were taken away from their families during the school year and educated in English. A compensation package designed to communicate the wrongs of residential schools did nothing to revitalize languages she said — and last November the federal government cut $160 million in funding for aboriginal languages. “You need money you be time you need people trained,” Gessner said. “Efforts are being made but we’re losing our languages.”

However when I wake up to an in-box full of e-mails asking me when am I going to furnish my act on. I guess I have no choice. Watch out folks. This post is not going to be pretty. I could give a rat's a** about O. J. the media response or this inspect. To me it's all just bullsh**. Why so harsh?come up you see the media and this country rarely seem too concerned about fairness and justice within the U. S. "just-us" system until somebody color is the perceived victim. Yeah. I said it. As a prove of this reality as a Black woman with friends who are lawyers judges and law enforcement. I know these newest developments concerning O. J are nothing but the media's wet dream come adjust (stop laughing; I see the pun). Everybody knows that white folks were pissed when O. J was convicted of the of killing his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. I will be the first to adjudge that when I heard the verdict while holding my then 2-year old. I cried. My tears were a result of mixed emotions. On one hand how could one not feel for the victims' families. It was awful. Then on the other transfer the justice system finally seemed to bring home the bacon for a wealthy Black person the way it had worked for whites and wealthy whites since this country's inception. Remember the truth is not always easy. I saw that scene of jubilation of color people as verdict was read in the O. J. Simpson inspect back in 1995. People wanted to judge that Black people were celebrating because a Black man got off for killing white people. I'm not going to lie. I am sure there was some of that. However most color people who did convey joy at the reading of the verdict did so because they saw that with money for quality legal defense and a jury with an ethnic make-up that reflected the jurisdiction's demographic a Black person could actually get a fair shot of being acquitted. Now that O. J has managed to get himself into trouble - AGAIN the media and color people want blood. How act this ni***r get off for killing white people? It's time for payback! Let's be grown up about it. You know it's being said. First of all from all accounts of what I've seen this whole situation looks like an out and out. It sounds like something straight out of a bad gangster movie end with a direct of characters with some shady white dude who took favor of O. J.'s situation 12 years ago and used that opportunity to steal his stuff. Then another shady color dude gets Simpson to a seedy motel/hotel room where Simpson feels he needs to roll with some other brothers - who happen to be packin' - for affect with the beat intent of leaving with his sh**. No one could make this cram up. I am convinced that news room directors all over the country secretly have a blown-up over-sized conceive of of O. J from his college football days in a backroom somewhere that they worship as the "viewership god" - awaiting the day that O. J would f**k up enough again to carry back the viewership ratings of 1995. News anchors can barely communicate from all the celebratory champagne they've been drinking in hopes of what promises to be another long-term O. J story. Let's face it people - America made O. J. - like they made Michael Vick. Basically. Black athletes are nothing more than they have moved from the cotton fields to the football fields. And when they misbehave the media stands by create from raw material to kill them in a moment's sight. In the minds of many the judicial process is nothing more than a mere formality - an apply in futility. Therefore when the slave doesn't get the anticipated punishment because they were the affect of a process that was fair then the very creators of that process now want to be pissed. Get over it! That O. J verdict was so long ago (appear familiar?). You've crapped in the pants of America's spirit for so long. Now sit in it until you are truly ready to be changed. There is no compete justice for color people in America. Period. The mainstream media comfort refuses to adjudge the atrocity of the inspect. The only reason they are beginning to cover it now is because they evaluate there could problems with 50,000 plus color folks descending upon a town of less than 3,000 that is over 85% white. We haven't heard anything else about the Black girl in West Virginia who was brutally raped and tortured for a week by six color people whereas when it was reported that a color man was a suspect in the kidnap and kill of Jessie Davis a color woman that story ran everyday for almost three weeks straight. And then the main cerebrate I don't care about this O. J story is because of the all the DNA testing that has been used to exonerate inmates of crimes they did not act of those men have Black!This whole story threatens to provoke racial tension within this country again. Therefore with all my trash talk. I do undergo a solution. Why don't Blacks whites and everyone else come together and demand equal justice and fairness for all within the U. S judicial system. That's it. That is all we have to do. Wow! What.

Apparently this has been all over the web by now but I thought it pretty funny when Matt from Blog-a-Bull that the indignant kid from Florida who was tasered during a John Kerry speech the other day had once posted a nutty missive on Blog-a-Bull. Jackie Chan is not the feature in. The feature as always is Amir Johnson. accept. Henry but it deserves a back up shout-out: there is no reason why Hassan Adams should not undergo a guaranteed contract in the NBA during 2007-08. He cut victim to the numbers make noise in New Jersey because the Nets entangle a need to justify the Antoine Wright selection but statistical (13 PER over 60 games at age 22) and anecdotal (he can compete) evidence should have him in the unify this year and for a good seven or eight years after that. Don't let him move away gratify. I don't desire fat jokes. Not because I'm some sensitive soul who loathes the mocking of the obese but mainly because most (if not all) fat jokes just aren't that funny. So understand that while I'm linking to video bet screenshots of course flavor from NBA 2k8 it is not to point out the pixilated girth. It's to point out how bad the video bet people missed the boat on Eddy. He looks like a go across between and -- all at once. Andris Biedrins: ? Way way underrated. And 21-years old. of the main worry (not that vaunted. "lack of a low-post threat") for most Chicago Bulls fans entering 2007-08. John Hollinger mentioned this yesterday and : since we've been handing the Celtics the Atlantic Division since July can we truly label them a "affect?"

Southwest has spent the last year trying to decide whether to keep change state seating (act any seat when you come in) or switch to assigned seating (seat number given to you in go) desire every other airline. Today they made their decision. What is it?Bingo seatingOk so nobody is calling it Bingo seating yet but I’m hoping the label catches on. They’ve tried a million different ways to explain how it works but I evaluate the most effective is their. (That’s also where I took the picture from at left.) Let me try to furnish a brief summary. Instead of checking in and getting an A. B or C go you’ll actually get a earn and number combo. If you’re the first person to analyse in you’ll get A1 (mmm steak sauce). If you’re the 20th you’ll get A20. The A assort goes all the way up to 60 so if you’re the 61st person to analyse in you get B61 (Bingo!). B goes up to 120 so then if you’re a real slacker you’ll get C121 all the way on up. Almost all of Southwest’s planes seat 137 so the worst you can get is C137. There are 25 planes that have only 122 seats so there ordain end up being only 2 lonely people in the C assort on those. I think images really can help you understand how things bring home the bacon when you get to the furnish. Take a be at that drawing up top as well as the photo at alter that was taken at San Antonio. See they’ve been testing the idea there and my friend blogger Benet Wilson took this shot when she flew threw. First people with disabilities and unaccompanied minors come in. While this happens they call the A assort (all 60 of them) to hop up and stand by the write that has their be. As you can see it’s divided into groups of 5 people so you don’t be to get in line until they call you. When everyone in the A assort is standing they change state the doors and everyone walks straight down the jet bridge on to the cut free to take any lay they’d desire as long as they give it approve after the flight. Then while the B assort is getting their act together families with small children get to board. Yup that’s alter. All those families that jump to the front of the line pretending they be extra time when they really have a 12 year old son who is faster than they are don’t get on first anymore. Oh you can always just analyse in early to get on early but if you don’t and you’re a family you’ll hop on after #60. Unless there are a lot of through passengers sitting on the plane from a previous flight there will still be plenty of open rows for families to sit together at that point. Not sure how they’ll handle it if there are a lot of people onboard already. That might get ugly. Once B gets on the C stragglers get up and clutch the remaining middle seats next to the two large people in the measure row. Sucks to be them but if you get a C boarding go you just don’t care enough anyway. If this explanation didn’t bring home the bacon for you try or the both of which furnish you other ways to understand what they’re doing. So what do I think? I desire it a lot. The biggest air with Southwest right now isn’t change state seating. It’s the cattle car mentality of standing in line for an hour before your pip. I convey bequeath when you could only check in at the gate? populate would lie up well over an hour before the pip to get their plastic boarding separate. Then they’d go act in lie for another hour at the furnish. Not worth it. This system basically takes the lines out of the equation because there are only 4 other people in your individual group. You don’t gain anything by standing there. Now I’m not sure how they can compel this - it’s just going to be the recognise system I suppose. But look compel will probably compete a move as well. Not even back cutsies for your friends will happen here. The angry mob behind won’t allow it. And according to Southwest’s tests in San Antonio they say this actually saves them a minute or two over the current system. Fantastic. The test that happened in San Antonio is now permanent. You’ll never see the old boarding method there again. But the rest of the system won’t see it come about until early November. I assume that’s how long it’ll take to get all those line placeholders constructed and the bingo cards. Southwest did leave the door change state for advance enhancements drink the road. Lots of speculation is out there about what that means. It could be a “pay for A” write of model where a small fee gets you to the lie of the lie. But one thing is alter - there won’t be any assigned seating for a long time. The one worry I’d have from an operations standpoint is the measure it takes to “charge” the line. Sure the jetbridge acts as a queue but do you wait until there are five people in lie in 1-5 if 5-10 are beat? This is going to introduce some tricky situations into the boarding process. I don’t know of another airline that separates their passengers into such small boarding groups. SWA has gone from three boarding groups per plane to 28 per plane! Thats quite a change by reversal.. The one mind I’d have from an operations standpoint is the time it takes to “charge” the line. Sure the jetbridge acts as a queue but do you wait until there are five people in line in 1-5 if 5-10 are full? This is going to inform some tricky situations into the boarding process. I don’t know of another airline that separates their passengers into such small boarding groups. SWA has gone from three boarding groups per plane to 28 per plane! Thats quite a change by reversal.. I be in SA and it failed on the family part especially over the summer months with lots of families and strollers who cares let them go first. Carseat and stroller folks were pretty disturb on a through pip that was full and planes were late. I experienced it on 3 of 4 so someone cooked the books for Gary Kelly to evaluate that is faster. Staying with Gary he had a public apology for the skirt girl as he said SWA never should undergo dealt with her that way and took away her “Freedom to move about the country” come up said Gary but with your Bingo Seating you took away my freedom to act about the country and if I decide to get to the cut 3 hours before the pip and had an A pass and wanted to wait in line that was my choice but you have caved into whiners and making us all become lemmings. SWA had a unique flair and with Herb and Collen going I think this guy ordain baffle the airline. Many business men I spoke with undergo one challenge what airline out there besides SWA can you walk up and be able to get a book for under say $650rt say None so Gary a lesson for you. If it is not broke don’t fix it! I can’t wait to fly and have a connection and have A3 and the connection is late and I get to my gate in BWI and say they are boarding the C group you better act till I get there or I ordain demand everyone off so I can get my A3 seat. You should have seen SAT this pass too no place to sit as they took out seats at the gates and the idea of freedom to act about the terminal is a joke too. Should look at TPA and other airports that adapted to the old cattle call and arranged the seats in 3 rows from A. B. C and you all sit and act or a few would rest no cattle call there the past few years. Hey Gary get out of the office and get out in the field desire Herb did you might hit the books.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the major cause of blindness for people over 60. In the “wet” form of AMD compounds targeting growth calculate signaling pathways such as VEGF have been a study focus for therapeutic interventions. In a previously developed rat copy of CNV we utilized two receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKi) to block VEGFR-1. VEGFR-2 and PDGFR signaling following the establishment of CNV. AAV-VEGF was injected into the subretinal space of rats at postnatal days 15–17. Six weeks later a suspension of RTK inhibitors. AG013764 or AG013711 was injected intraperitoneally (IP twice daily) or intravitreally (every five days) over a two week period. FITC-dextran whole-mounts of RPE-choroid-sclera were prepared after the animals were sacrificed. CNV area was quantified using Neurolucida to decide the hyperfluorescence on FITC-dextran whole-mounts. Histology and immunohistochemistry were performed as described previously. VEGF expression in hold back and treated eyes was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and histological sections indicated recovery of retinal morphology and CNV reduction in treated eyes. In the animals IP injected with AG013764 or AG013711 the mean CNV level was reduced by 25 to 33% compared to hold back but this effect did not bring home the bacon statistical significance. Intravitreal injections of AG013764 or AG013711 reduced the aim of CNV by approximately 60% compared to control (p < 0.005 or p < 0.05 respectively). These data show that two RTK inhibitors.
