Take Action on the Anniversary of Israel's Assault on Gaza!

Join MADRE and other members of the coalition US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation: join us in taking action for Gaza.

Almost one year ago, Israel unleashed "Operation Cast Lead" on the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel's 22-day assault killed about 1,400 Palestinians, injured thousands more, and destroyed billions of dollars of Palestinian civilian infrastructure.
To this day, Israel maintains a comprehensive siege of the Gaza Strip, an illegal act of collective punishment targeting 1.5 million Palestinian civilians. The siege denies Palestinians adequate access to food, clean water, sanitation, electricity, and even school books and construction materials for rebuilding,
Unfortunately, the United States is complicit in Israel's human rights abuses of Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. During "Operation Cast Lead," Israel misused U.S. military aid to kill and injure Palestinian civilians. Congress has approved another $2.775 billion in military aid to Israel for FY2010, in violation of the Arms Export Control Act. Last Month, the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the Goldstone Report, thereby undermining international efforts to hold Israel accountable for the human rights abuses and war crimes it committed before, during, and after "Operation Cast Lead." And the Department of Energy just awarded a contract to Motorola Israel, whose bomb fuzes enabled some of the bombs Israel dropped on Palestinian civilians during "Operation Cast Lead."
It's our responsibility to end U.S. support for Israel's human rights abuses and war crimes against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip and elsewhere. Below are several ways to take action to end U.S. support for the siege of the Gaza Strip.
At our national conference in September, US Campaign member groups voted overwhelmingly to endorse the Gaza Freedom March. Now it's time to step up and show our support with action.
The Gaza Freedom March will bring over 1,000 international human rights activists to the Gaza Strip to march side-by-side with Palestinians from the Rafah checkpoint in the south to the Erez checkpoint in the north of the Gaza Strip. The internationals participating in the Gaza Freedom March will convene in Cairo on December 27th, the day that "Operation Cast Lead" began one year ago, cross into the Gaza Strip on December 29th, and join with Palestinian activists to march the length of the Gaza Strip on December 31st.
The Gaza Freedom March will draw the attention of the whole world to Israel's ongoing siege of and the precarious humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. Even if you're not able to participate in the Gaza Freedom March, there are still things you can do in your community to support its goals.
Plan an event in your area in solidarity with the Gaza Freedom March
Gaza Freedom Marchers have put out a call for solidarity actions between December 27th and January 1st. You can organize a march in your community or another event, such as a vigil, film screening, art exhibition, or teach-in, during these days of action. Get more action ideas or register your event so others can find it.
While we expect that the Gaza Freedom March events will be powerful expressions of our collective sorrow over last year's attack on the Gaza Strip, we also know that one day of action won't end Israel's blockade or the U.S. support for Israel's human rights abuses of Palestinians. There are many ways to link your Gaza Freedom March event to ongoing actions to end the siege of the Gaza Strip and bring a just and peaceful resolution to Israel's military occupation and apartheid practices against Palestinians.
Connect your event to an ongoing campaign
One way to link your event to the struggle to end U.S. support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid in the Gaza Strip and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories is to become a Congressional District Coordinator (CDC) and invite participants in your event to future lobby meetings with your Members of Congress.
Members of Congress are currently scheduled to adjourn for their winter recess on December 18 and are expected to be in their home districts until January 11. During this winter recess, we are asking our CDC's to set up constituent meetings with their Members of Congress to ask them to end U.S. support for Israel's blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip. Register as a Congressional District Coordinator or coordinate one round of meetings with your Members of Congress and we'll help train and support you in setting up a meeting with your Members of Congress during the winter recess.
You can also connect your event to an ongoing boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign. While there are myriad corporations that profit from Israel's occupation and apartheid practices and deserve to be boycotted and/or divested from, we suggest you plug into an already active campaign that we are organizing or supporting. Three popular BDS campaigns are:
- Hang Up On Motorola: This campaign is working for accountability from Motorola, which profits by providing communications equipment to the Israeli military, "security" infrastructure to Israeli settlements, and products and services that normalize Israel's settlement system. Click here to order a campaign kit to get your community involved in this boycott.
- Stop Caterkiller: This campaign is working to stop Caterpillar from profiting from Israel's home demolitions and apartheid wall. Caterpillar's equipment was even mentioned over 25 times in the U.N. Goldstone Report on "Operation Cast Lead." Join us in pressuring this U.S. corporation to end sales to Israel of equipment that it systematically uses to deny Palestinians their human rights. Click here to order a campaign kit to educate and activate your community.
- Stolen Beauty: This campaign is focused on Ahava cosmetics, a corporation that is based in an Israeli settlement on Palestinian land in the West Bank. Not only is Ahava headquartered in an illegal settlement, it also literally sells stolen Palestinian resources from the Dead Sea. Click here for campaign ideas and resources.

Clancy's 22nd Annual Alcothon by GMan - over 7 years ago
"The Alcothon is an event my friends and I started last year. We had it at Clancy's Pub in Covina, CA. We started drinking at 6:00am and finished at 2:00am the following night. Why? Just because. Last year's T-shirts were made by a silk screener at a Swamp Meet so this year we wanted to get some really nice shirts. Custom Ink was awesome. We were able to creat our own design, have them shipped when we needed them and they had the best deal on price."

Blastomycosis CauseBlastomycosis is caused when the conidial forms (spores) of the fungus becomes airborne and are inhaled by a person or susceptible animal. Although the spores can be destroyed by specialized lung cells, the fungal cells are dimorphic and some spores may change into a yeast-like form that is much more resistant to the lung's defensive cells. The body temperature triggers the change from spores to yeast forms; these yeast forms multiply, and some may be transferred to other body organs and the skin by the blood or lymphatic system. This action happens during the incubation period described below in the symptom section. Next Page: Patient Comments & ReviewsThe eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Blastomycosis: |

Atlantic Sun Releases Preseason Men's Basketball Poll
MACON, Ga. – An unprecedented three straight conference championships and nine returning letter winners earned the Belmont Bruins the nod from both the coaches and the media as the preseason pick to win their second consecutive Atlantic Sun regular-season title as well as a fourth straight conference championship.
The Eagles were selected ninth in both polls after losing 11 letterwinners and four starters from last year. The Eagles do welcome one of the most celebrated recruiting classes in school history along with Ed Rolax, Reed Baker and Kyle Marks, all redshirts from the 2007-08 season.
The Bruins, led by 2008 A-Sun Coach of the Year Rick Byrd, will have to find a replacement for two-time All-Atlantic Sun performer and the eighth-leader scorer in A-Sun history, Justin Hare. After two years of winning the tournament MVP, Hare saw his teammate and preseason All-Atlantic Sun pick Shane Dansby claim in the honor in 2008. Dansby, one of five seniors on the 2008-09 squad, averaged 14.0 points per game during the tournament and connected on 7-of-12 from the 3-point arc. Belmont earned first-place votes from seven of the 11 A-Sun coaches and 25 of the 33 media members. Belmont enters the year as one of only six teams in the country to have earned its league's automatic bid in each of the last three seasons. The other five include last year's two NCAA Tournament finalists Kansas (Big 12) and Memphis (Conference USA) as well as mid-major powers Davidson (Southern), Winthrop (Big South) and Oral Roberts (Summit).
The schools Belmont defeated in the semifinals and championship game, ETSU and Jacksonville respectively, shared the second spot from the coaches while the Dolphins edged out the Buccaneers in the media poll. Jacksonville continued its ascent under head coach Cliff Warren. After one win in 2005-06, he improved to 15-14 in 2006-07 and 18-13 last year while compiling a 23-11 mark in A-Sun play those last two years. Warren returns all five starters from last year led by the trio of preseason All-Atlantic Sun guard Ben Smith and forwards Marcus Allen and Lehmon Colbert. All three averaged better than 13.0 points per game, a feat unmatched by an A-Sun team in 2007-08.
ETSU features senior guard Courtney Pigram, the coaches' pick for preseason Player of the Year. Last year, he led the team in scoring at 15.8 points per game and needs 555 points to join Centenary's Willie Jackson as just the second player in conference history to accumulate 2,000 points. Pigram and Kevin Tiggs represent one of the top returning duos in the conference. The two seniors combined to average over 30 points per game. Only one other school, Campbell, features two teammates that averaged as many points per game as did the Buccaneer pair. With 19 wins in 2007-08, head coach Murry Bartow increased his career total to 198. The second win he earns will make him the seventh current A-Sun coach with 200 coaching wins.
After the Buccaneers, the coaches' poll and the media mirror each other choosing Lipscomb fourth followed by Stetson, Mercer and Campbell. The Bisons again host the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Championship and look to three sophomores, Josh Slater, Adnan Hodzic and Brandon Brown, to fill the void left by last year's leading scorer, Eddie Ard.
Stetson returns all five starters from a team that won 11 conference games for the first time since the 1986-87 season and finished at .500 (16-16) for the first time since 2000-01, when the Hatters went 17-12 in Derek Waugh's first season as head coach. Garfield Blair earned a spot on the preseason All-Conference team after leading the Hatters in both scoring and rebounding (16.1 ppg and 5.7 rpg).
Mercer made the lone coaching change after the 2007-08 season, hiring Bob Hoffman to replace Mark Slonaker. Hoffman owns 400 coaching wins at three previous stops and features a squad returning James Florence, the 2006-07 Freshman of the Year and Calvin Henry, the 2007-08 Defensive Player of the Year in addition to transfer Daniel Emerson gaining eligibility after sitting out last year.
Campbell begins a new era with the opening of the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center, a 3,095 seat venue replacing the venerable Carter Gymnasium. Junior Jonathan Rodriguez, a preseason All-Conference selection enters 2008-09 as the second-highest scorer among juniors with 1,162 points. He trails only Davidson's Stephen Curry, who has tallied 1,662 points in his first two years. He finished the 2007-08 season as one of six players to average at least 20 points per game and 10 rebounds per game. Among that group, NBA lottery picks Michael Beasley (Kansas State), Jason Thompson (Rider), Big East Player of the Year Luke Harangody (Notre Dame) and National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough (UNC).
The two polls conclude with the league's four re-classifying schools with Kennesaw State leading the group followed by FGCU, USC Upstate and UNF. Both the Owls and Ospreys conclude their re-classifying era this year and gain eligibility to the A-Sun Championship in 2009-10.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

San Antonio Express-News
Dan Cook, a San Antonio legend whose career as a sports columnist and broadcaster spanned more than a half-century, died Thursday after a long illness. He was 81.
Insightful, humorous, colorful and brutally honest, Cook spent 57 years in the newspaper business — 51 of those at the San Antonio Express-News — interviewing sports' greatest legends, from Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey to Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Tom Landry.
Cook joined the Express-News on Aug. 14, 1952, as a copy editor and writer, and became an award-winning columnist and sports editor for the Evening News.
He was executive sports editor of the Express-News from 1960-75, when he became a full-time columnist.
In addition to print journalism, Cook worked as a sportscaster at KENS-TV for 44 years, from 1956-2000. It was there in 1978 that Cook uttered the famous phrase, "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," which is listed in Bartlett's "Familiar Quotations." He later said he first used the phrase in a column about two years before.
The two jobs helped to create a macho, yet fatherly image that, coupled with his folksy, shoot-from-the-hip style, made him a South Texas institution.
"When they write the final history of San Antonio newspapering, his name will be up at the top," said Frank A. Bennack Jr., CEO of the Hearst Corp., vice chairman of the board of directors and chairman of the executive committee.
"I finally had to buy the (Express-News) to get him," Bennack quipped. "Readers loved him. Audiences loved him. He was the genuine article."
Former Express-News editor and publisher Charles Kilpatrick, who knew Cook for m
"People believed that if Dan Cook said it, it must be true," Kilpatrick said. "And he wrote in such a way that everyone understood what he was talking about."
Cook's pseudonymous Benjamin P. Broadhind character, a fast-talking, barroom bettor who served as Cook's alter ego, became a reader favorite. Kilpatrick said Cook made Broadhind so lifelike, many people thought he was a real person.
Cook's opinions often would get him into trouble. He didn't always say or write what was politically correct. As a result, especially in his early years at the paper, he often received hate mail accusing him of being a racist.
Kilpatrick said he never tried to censor Cook, who came to represent the voice of the common man and average fan.
And Cook wasn't afraid to criticize. In a column during Roger Maris' quest to break Babe Ruth's home-run record in 1961, he ripped the New York Yankees slugger as "a brooding, immature crybaby who would have been run out of baseball by the sharp-tongued bench jockeys of Ruth's day."
Cook had no explanation for his longevity.
"I've never figured it out," he once said. "All I know is I outworked a lot of people. I thought they'd fire me after about three years, and probably should have."
A book, "The Best of Dan Cook: Collected Columns from 1956 to 1990," was published in 2001. The first printing of 5,280 copies sold out in less than a month.
Cook's work habits still are the stuff of legend around the Express-News Sports Department. Former sports editor Barry Robinson, now the newsroom's director of administration and recruitment, was hired by Cook in July 1969.
Then, Cook was writing six columns a week, delivering two sportscasts a day at KENS-TV (in those days the TV station was owned by the newspaper and KENS stood for Express-News Station) and doing two daily radio commentaries, in addition to his duties as sports editor.
Robinson marveled at Cook's output, calling it "nearly super human."
As for Cook's popularity, Robinson had a simple explanation.
"He was going to be the same around Darrell Royal as he was the beer vendor at the ballpark," Robinson said, referring to the legendary former football coach of the Texas Longhorns. "Everybody loved Dan."
Cook had a chance to go to Chicago and be a syndicated columnist, Robinson recalls, but stayed because of the "love affair" he had with the public in San Antonio.
"I think Dan knew it was a special relationship," Robinson said, "one that could never happen anywhere else."
The stories about Cook — as well as Cook's stories — are as legendary as the man himself.
Blackie Sherrod, who retired in 2003 as sports columnist at the Dallas Morning News after 60 years in journalism, was perhaps Cook's best friend in the business. He and Cook were part of a breed of sportswriter that lived for the big game and big event, then went to their favorite watering hole afterward to relive it all.
They helped to form the "Geezers Club" that met once a year in Dallas and included such newspaper icons as Edwin Pope of the Miami Herald and Furman Bisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Sherrod said Cook was always the life of the party and his keen wit never failed to make him laugh.
One of his favorite Cook stories came when the two were covering the Kentucky Derby one year. He said prior to the race, a friend of theirs approached Cook, an avid bettor, and asked him about one of his daughters. She wanted to know where he planned to send her to college.
"It all depends on who wins this race," Cook said.
Cook is survived by his wife, Katy; daughter Marie Gian and her husband, Mike, of Rockport; son Danny Cook and his wife, Laura, of San Antonio; daughter Alice Ann Ashton and her fiancé, Doug Beauchamp, of San Antonio; and three grandchildren, Brad Gian, Dani Parker and Britney Ashton.
David Edwards 1987-2008
David Flores San Antonio Express-News
Bracing for the worst and praying for the best, the mother of paralyzed former Madison High School football player David Edwards reflected on her son's life as it flickered late Wednesday morning.
"I don't know what the outcome of this will be, but if God takes my baby home, I'll be OK with that," Faye Stanton said. "He won't be in a wheelchair anymore and he'll be in heaven."
Stanton paused briefly before continuing.
"My human side, though, wants my baby back at home," she said. "And I don't care if he's in a wheelchair."
Edwards, who had been in critical condition since slipping into a coma Monday night, died less than two hours later at Northeast Methodist Hospital. He would have turned 21 on Saturday.
Edwards, a quadriplegic since he was injured while making a tackle in a 2003 playoff game, had battled pneumonia and other respiratory problems since the fall.
He stopped breathing shortly after going to bed Monday night. His mother and a neighbor performed CPR on him before paramedics arrived at the family's Northeast Side home.
The paramedics revived Edwards before transporting him to Northeast Methodist, but Stanton said the complications of the pneumonia were too much for her son to overcome.
"David's at peace now," Stanton said. "He's not suffering anymore. He was a gift and an inspiration to everyone he touched. That's what he leaves us."
Cedric Stanton remained with his stepson's body for nearly an hour before joining the group.
"It's hard to say goodbye but I know he's in a better place," said Stanton, who married Faye when Edwards was 7. "He was a good young man."
Madison football coach Jim Streety, who visited Edwards one last time Wednesday morning, maintained a close bond with the former standout defensive back and his family.
Edwards is also survived by brothers Devin, 19, and Dhaylen, 1, and sisters Deira, 16; Deandra, 15; and Shyla, 1.
"It's very hard," Devin said. "We're going to miss him a lot, but he left us a good example of how to live."
Two of Edwards' former teammates, Tony Dillard and Richard Downs, arrived at the hospital minutes after he died.
"It just hurts," said Dillard, who graduated from Madison in 2005. "He was doing so well. This caught everybody off guard. Even after he got hurt, he was the same old David. He never changed. He always had that big smile."
Edwards, who played safety, was a junior when he severed his spinal cord while tackling Austin Westlake wide receiver Coy Aune on Nov. 15, 2003.
Coy and his mother, Marci, drove from Austin on Tuesday to visit Edwards and lend support to his family. Marci Aune said she had painted a birthday poster for Edwards and planned to mail it Wednesday.
Coy Aune, a senior at Texas, and Edwards became good friends and kept in touch in the years after that dark afternoon at Neptune Field in Austin.
"It's sad for all of us who knew and loved David," Coy Aune said. "It's tough to deal with because we're going to miss him. I'm happy in a way, because he's running around and doing all the things he loved to do before he got hurt, but I'm losing a great friend."
Aune, who went on to play football at UT, said Edwards was a role model throughout his struggle with paralysis.
"After you saw the way he handled what he faced every day, it made your problems seem insignificant," Aune said.
Edwards overcame the challenges of his life-altering injury to graduate with his class in spring 2005. He attended classes at San Antonio College last year before illness forced him to withdraw.
Edwards' death was especially tough on Eddie Canales and his family. Canales co-founded Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Organization in 2003 after his youngest son, Chris, suffered a paralyzing injury while playing for San Marcos Baptist Academy in 2001.
Said Chris Canales: "The world lost a good man today. When I'm feeling down, I always think of David's smile. He will inspire me to go on and he never will be forgotten."
He graduated from Madison in 2005 and visited the school and attended athletic events often after the accident. Said Madison basketball coach John Valenzuela: 'He's a once-in-a-lifetime student who taught us more than we could ever teach him.'
Edwards died Wednesday afternoon at the age of 20.
Services are set for 4 p.m. Sunday at Littleton Gymnasium. Other arrangements are pending.
Donations to help the Edwards family can be sent to Madison High School, 5005 Stahl Road, 78247.
In Memoriam
Henry Robert Iglesias
One of The Most Wonderful Spirits I Have Ever Known
December 15, 2007
My good friend
I just received a phone call from his wife with the sad news.
He was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year and underwent an operation that didn't get all of it.
Henry was an outstanding singer, songwriter, musician. He was an even greater friend. His friendship and love were unconditional. When I was broke and homeless in Los Angeles in the early-90's, Henry took me in, gave me his couch and fed me.
He continues to nourish me spiritually.
My wife Beth and I had booked a flight to go see him the day after Christmas. Sadly, I'll never see him again - at least not in this world.
His memorial service will be on December 30th, his birthday.
While I grieve, I am also thankful for knowing such an amazing spirit and having such a true and rare friend.
Henry, I miss you.
I'm sure the Angels are partying with you in Heaven right now. Save a glass of The Golden Nectar of The Gods for me... I'll be there soon.

The 404 286: Where we turn up the heat with Scott Jones
Scott Jones from online gaming web site Crispy Gamer comes to the show to talk about everything under the sun, including his stint as a writer at a porn magazine and the video game industry in general. Jeff and Scott wonder why anybody would ever buy the new Nintendo DS, while Wilson reminds everyone that there are a billion Asian girls who love cute gadgets.
In addition, Justin ponders out loud whether he should get rid of his iPhone 3G. After realizing that Apple and AT&T have bled him dry, he thinks a CrackBerry or maybe just a *shock* regular old flip phone and an iPod classic might be a better value for him. As usually, our listeners also call in shocked about discovering the meaning of some choice words on Urban Dictionary. We're never going to tell you on air what "sp--- d---ing" is. All that and more on today's episode of The 404.
