They are correct, Jabba sounds right-down Jihadi to me, a good Saudi name, his minions are Mujahideen and the captive is of course Jewish, or half-Jewish half protestant, Carrie Fisher, the daughter of Eddy Fisher and Debby Reynolds. If you replace her image with tiny svelte beautiful Israel and Jabba's entourge and barren land full of sharpshooters and highway Jihadis with the Arab world, headed by the Saudi kleptocracy, the allusion is just about perfect. All imagery orchaestrated by Spielberg, cant get more Jewish than Spielberg can we?

Downtown is a bustle ... amid transformation
Downtown's Main Street is an obstacle course these days. If the fencing and yellow tape don't get in your way, the dust and "street closed" signs might.
On Friday, Main Street was blocked for tree planting and dust was flying from sandblasting.
"Some customers complain about it," said Jan Howell, owner of Emge's Deli & Ice Cream at 206 Main St. "Just signs of progress. It's usually not this bad."
Workmen are finishing the commercial first floor of the old JC Penney building, now a development primarily of condominiums called Renaissance on Main Street. A few blocks toward the river, the same developer, the Kunkel Group, has cordoned off the walk on the northwest side of the street. There, crews bent on interior and exterior renovations tear into the old deJongs department store and prepare the ground for construction of a new tower at Main and Third streets, components of another condo/commercial venture dubbed Meridian Plaza.
Across Main on the same block are more impediments to the pedestrian, if not the motorist. Michael Martin is transforming the old Baynham's building into loft apartments and commercial space he hopes will house a restaurant.
At the same time, Martin's Architectural Renovators is at work on the corner opposite Meridian Plaza on behalf of owner Debra Talley. She's turning the former site of Ace Printing & Graphics into downstairs retail and upstairs apartments.
A block to the southeast, at Third and Locust streets, work continues on a 21-condominium development in the old Permanent Federal building on floors above the relocated offices of Welborn Health Plans.
The residential boom Downtown has been accompanied by other office developments: Innovation Pointe's business incubator-technology amalgam is recasting The Centrum, also in the 300 block; Hilliard-Lyons began operating Monday in the former Koch Originals location at 110 Main St.; and just up Northwest Second Street is American General Finance's $35-million expansion of its corporate headquarters.
McCurdy development
A week ago, the city and Indianapolis developer Scott Hilliard Kosene unveiled a deal to develop at least 80 upper-end apartments and lower-floor commercial space in the historic McCurdy building. The city offered more than $1 million in incentives on the estimated $7.2 million project.
Perhaps fittingly, last week's announcement by Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel and Stephen Scott, Scott Hilliard Kosene chief executive, came within 11 days of the third anniversary of Weinzapfel's initial State of the City address, delivered less than five months after he took office.
The lone new initiative Weinzapfel announced was a subsidy program for developers who build loft apartments Downtown.
From Martin's completion, in early 2005, of the first pair of city-subsidized lofts to the projected completion in late 2008 or early 2009 of 80 McCurdy apartments, city programs have greased the rails for developments that will have added 177 new living units Downtown.
Howell, in business on Main for 32 years, primarily caters to the weekday breakfast and lunch crowd.
But lately, "we've been open some Saturdays. There are a lot of people down here. There are people coming down to the Children's Museum, walking the river ...
"Downtown," she said, "is coming along."
Gregg LaMar, director of the city's Department of Metropolitan Development, said the loft-development grants were a means "to test the market for: Is there a willingness in our community, that is Evansville and Vanderburgh County, to be part of the 'back to the city' movement?"
The proof is in the pudding, he suggested. From a $20,000 grant for each loft unit in the now-discontinued loft program, the city has weaned developers off grants altogether. Today's standard incentive? A $10,000 loan per unit. The McCurdy deal took a year to do, so it reflects the policy of a year ago, when a $10,000 loan was combined with a $10,000 grant.
Commercial resurgence?
What about commercial resurgence?
"Once you get a critical mass of residential, that influences the retail side," said LaMar, whose has a reputation as an engineer of center-city turnarounds. "Then, obviously, if you get a lot of offices Downtown, that will also influence the residential side and to a certain extent the retail side. They're all interrelated. What you look for are targets of opportunity."
Robert Goldman, a Downtown businessman, resident and advocate while also serving as president of the Redevelopment Commission, joined former Mayor Frank McDonald II as voices of caution in doling out more loft grants until some results were in.
"It's always a worry putting good money after bad," said Goldman.
But Goldman said Weinzapfel's wisdom is apparent in bringing LaMar aboard.
"Gregg LaMar seems to have brought a lot to the table in his knowledge of urban development. He's played his hand very well. I didn't see it at the time."
Both LaMar and Goldman have spoken in recent days of the time when Downtown runs out of property to develop.
"That would be a nice situation to have," said David Matthews of the appraisal firm David Matthews Associates. "We're years away from that."
He pointed out that Hilliard-Lyons' move leaves vacant its existing building at Fourth and Main streets.
Then there's the former Old National high-rise, far from filled though "the best deal in town" for office space.
"But the number of buildings that can be converted is limited," Matthews said. "... That's a nice problem to have."

Has anyone shot a Stoeger 8000 9mm? I believe it is a copy of the old Beretta Cougar. I am particularly interested in any "hands on" you might have as a shooter.

Has anyone shot a Stoeger 8000 9mm? I believe it is a copy of the old Beretta Cougar. I am particularly interested in any "hands on" you might have as a shooter.
I have the Beretta Cougar in .40. I have found it to be very accurate, feels fine in my hands and is my current carry. My wife and daughter for some reason always end up with ftf's shooting that weapon however. They are not able to manage or grip it quite right I guess - it works fine for me. In 9mm it might be fine for them too. Trigger is a long take-up when in single action however. My Glock friends tell me to sell it asap and get the Glock. I am close to buying a G27, but am not ready to sell the Cougar. :-)
G27, Beretta 8040, Ruger GP100
Dittos--VERY accurate thanks to the rotating barrel. It's not really a small pistol, and it's heavy (which I believe lead to it's demise and to the rise of the PX4). I'll keep mine, in fact it's resting in a book holster right next to me right now.
"What does Marcellus Wallace LOOK like?"
I went to every gun shop within a 50 mile radius and most hadn't even heard of a Stoeger Cougar, yes they are small town shops, but I almost expect more out of them then the dude behind the counter at Bass Pro, BTW even he didn't know what I was talking about. If I could find one locally I would buy one. Don't feel like internet shoppong right now. I really want to hold one in my hand.
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!
Carry On!
The Stoeger is exactly the same thing as the Beretta but now it's made in Turkey and costs less. All parts interchange.
At sportsman's warehouse we generally have the 9mm in stock. It runs 329.99. I have personally sold 2 of them, I think we have sold 7 or 8 in the whole store. None of them have come back so far. I am not completely sure if all the parts interchange with the cougar, but I know they use the same mags.
To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.
George Mason
Mine is accurate and dependable. Not any problems at all and a joy to shoot as well. Now if I could just find one locallly in .40 caliber.......................
The Stoeger Cougar is the same gun as The Beretta Cougar. The sales of the Beretta Cougar were slow due to the high cost so Beretta shipped all of the machinery to Turkey to make them over there at about half the cost. Same metal, same steel, same machinery. Beretta owns Stoeger. Only the rollmark is different.
Had a Mini-Cougar .40 myself. Torqued pretty bad to me.
Glock 19/FEG/FM HiPowers/Keltec P32 for me. When I can't use my 870,N98 or Marlin .30-30 of course...
Shot one today and hated that long first trigger pull then the subsequent little itty bitty single action pull - yuk. I will stick with my 1911s and DA revolvers.
Thanks for the input though.

It would take an estimated extra $20 million to $30 million, but that might be a price worth paying, the governor said.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Friday the state may be willing to pay the extra $20 million to $30 million it would cost to include light-rail transit on the Interstate 35W bridge.
Pawlenty's comments came after nearly two weeks of debate and division among state, Minneapolis and federal officials over whether the replacement for the collapsed span should be built with the potential to carry light rail.
Before Pawlenty's comments, Minneapolis officials modified their stance, saying the bridge should have light-rail capacity but need not be built specifically for the Central Corridor line, which is to connect downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. The city's role could be pivotal because, under state law, it will be asked to provide "municipal consent" for the bridge design.
A disagreement over light rail could stall the project for months, jeopardizing the state's plans to push for completion by the end of 2008.
In Pawlenty's strongest statement of support for light rail since the bridge collapse Aug. 1, he said Friday on his weekly radio show: "It does appear from an engineering standpoint, we can build the bridge ... to be LRT-capable. I've sent signals to the mayor, and he's signaled back that the LRT piece is a significant consideration."
Pawlenty was referring to Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.
Rybak has pushed to have light rail on the new span. Its price tag without light-rail readiness is estimated at $250 million or more.
The Republican governor has been less enthusiastic about transit than the DFL mayor.
Pawlenty spoke just minutes before the Minneapolis City Council unanimously adopted a set of principles for the new bridge that include making the structure ready for light rail and bus-rapid transit.
Gubernatorial spokesman Brian McClung said the estimated extra cost of making the bridge LRT-ready is between $20 million and $30 million. McClung said the governor's office would ask the Legislature for bonding authority for the money.
Sen. Steve Murphy, the Red Wing DFLer who is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, called Pawlenty's comments on light rail "a huge step in the right direction," and he expressed optimism that the $20 million to $30 million could be found.
Rep. Alice Hausman, chairwoman of the House Capital Investment Committee, reacted positively to the potential funding request.
"I think there is just this universal feeling that if we're looking out 100 years, the bridge should be designed and built to specifications that would allow for transit in the future," the St. Paul DFLer said, adding that legislators from throughout the state are hearing a similar sentiment from constituents.
Last week's letter is dead
Rybak and Pawlenty have had differences on the issue almost since the bridge collapse. At a joint news conference Aug. 7, Pawlenty said he'd give "due diligence" to studying transit on the bridge.
But he also signaled that the bridge must be built expeditiously.
Rybak made it clear he wanted the potential for a rail line on the span built to endure for the next 100 years.
On Friday, Rybak called Pawlenty's LRT comments "major" and a welcome shift from even a week ago.

Arson-hit St Nicholas' Church to reopen after restoration
A medieval church devastated by fire five years ago is set to reopen after a £2.5m restoration.
St Nicholas' Church in Radford Semele in Warwickshire was targeted by arsonists in 2008, prompting a campaign to restore it.
Parts of it dated back to the time of the 11th Century Domesday Book. Facilities now include a kitchen and office for wider community use.
Reverend Martin Green will open the new church on Wednesday.
The vicar, Martin Green, told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire that the outside looks the same but it's a different story inside.
On May 15 a ceremony will mark the official handing back of the church. The first Sunday service will be held on May 19.

John stared up into the face of Sherlock Holmes. The old army gun was pointed directly at the bomb, which was sitting mere metres away from them on the poolside floor. Sherlock's perfectly chiselled features were stone-solid in concentration, his arm not moving an inch. John gripped the side of the changing cubicle he was crouching against and tried to steady his breathing, preparing for what might come.
Sherlock turned to look straight at him, and piercing blue eyes met brown. John saw a flicker of terror pass his face for an instant, and felt his heart rate skyrocket. If he pulled that trigger, they would both die within split seconds. John could not see how they could find a way out of this. If Sherlock shot the bomb, they would all die. If Sherlock didn't shoot the bomb, the snipers would kill them. But Moriarty would survive to kill again.
John looked down the pool towards the man who, faced with death, still had a smug grin on his face, almost daring Sherlock to pull the trigger just for the mere entertainment of it. He has to be stopped.
John took a deep breath and decided that since he was going to die, he might as well bring a criminal mastermind down as well.
'Sherlock', he whispered, the name almost a caress. Sherlock turned his head towards him slightly and John nodded in acceptance, as if to say 'it's okay'. Sherlock showed no sign of acknowledgement of the exchange between them.
He watched as Sherlock suddenly lifted his gaze to the balcony above them and grinned. John gaped in astonishment.
'I can't see what you find so amusing Sherlock, one of us is gonna have to make a move eventually. But either way, I win.' Moriarty's high Irish accent drifted and echoed through the swimming pool, emphasised by the taunting grin that followed.
'Oh, I don't think so.' Sherlock's strong, deep voice sounded confident, but still tinged with a little fear. John watched as he twitched his left eye. Nothing happened, but the red lights dotted all over Sherlock's chest flickered off for a split second.
Sherlock smiled and then lowered the gun, while John could only sit and watch. He's lost his mind!
'Oooh bad move, Sherly. Now it's my turn.' Moriarty danced around like a child excited about winning a game. 'Kill them.'
John took one last look at Sherlock, then closed his eyes and waited for the blackness to engulf him.
It never did.
John opened his eyes slowly.
Moriarty looked confused, then furious. 'KILL THEM!'
Still, nothing happened.
'Oh, shouting won't work. Sorry, Jim.' Sherlock spat the last word.
'What have you done?!' Moriarty started towards Sherlock, who remained still.
'Rache.' Sherlock said the word with an excellent German accent, seemingly into the darkness.
'Wha-' Moriarty's confusion was cut short as an almighty bang went off, amplified by the walls of the swimming pool.
John's gaze flashed from the bomb, to Sherlock, to his own chest, expecting a jab of pain and a spurt of blood.
Suddenly Moriarty sank to his knees, a look of utter astonishment on his face.
Before John could ask what had happened, a side door opened and in walked none other than D.I. Lestrade and Mycroft Holmes.
'Tranquilliser,' said Lestrade, and as if to illustrate it, Moriarty feebly pulled the dart from the side of his neck, still looking dumbfounded. He looked up at Sherlock, who was walking towards him.
John heaved himself up onto legs that felt weak, and it surprised him how scared he had been. Not for his life, but for Sherlock's. He began walking slowly towards his companion, who stood over the hunched figure of Moriarty, who was fighting to stay awake.
'Bitch.' Moriarty slumped back onto the floor, his arms tucked under him. Sherlock began to laugh.
Moriarty made a sudden movement. Sherlock, laughing, had no time to react. John had a fraction of a second's advantage.
Just as Moriarty pulled the gun from the waistband of his trousers, John rushed forwards and grabbed Sherlock, shoving him as far as he could.
But not far enough.
The bullet ripped through Sherlock's torso, and as the two companions hit the floor of the swimming pool, Jim Moriarty finally passed out.
John sat up to see Sherlock lying on the tiles in a growing pool of blood.
'SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE, NOW!' John roared as he tore his cardigan off. He was in Doctor mode now.
'Oh God...' Lestrade's stricken voice came from over John's shoulder, followed by the beeps of a mobile phone. Mycroft appeared at John's side.
Sherlock's face was paler than it's usual alabaster, and the effect made him look ghostly. He clutched at the growing red stain on his stomach and gasped for breath. Apparently the force of the bullet had knocked the wind out of him.
'John...' he croaked.
'Sherlock, it's going to be OK. I need you to apply pressure to the wound. Here.' John pressed his cardigan to Sherlock's stomach and, taking Sherlock's hands in his own, pressed them to the fabric, which was rapidly turning a sickly shade of crimson. Sherlock cried out in pain but quickly tried to stifle the sound.
'The ambulance is on it's way. It should be here in around six minutes.' Lestrade shouted, snapping his phone shut.
'Shit. He's losing too much blood. I can't tell where the bullet went through, or what's been damaged.' John's face was filled with terror. 'I need cloth, has anybody got any-' deciding on an easier option, he slipped an arm under Sherlock's shoulders and removed his suit jacket, then scrunched it up and pressed it to the dark red mess that had been Sherlock's white shirt. Sherlock's face was filled with pain as he looked up at John and put his hands over the Doctor's.

Ahead of the passage of the Women's Reservation Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Congress president Sonia Gandhi appeared confident of the 14-year-old saga drawing to a successful close before the day was through.
In a fleeting interaction with journalists in Parliament, Ms. Gandhi said she was keeping her fingers crossed and wished former allies — the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Samajwadi Party — were on board for the passage of the historic legislation.
Asked about the reservations expressed by the Trinamool Congress vis-à-vis the Bill, Ms. Gandhi pointed out that all allies had been supportive of this piece of legislation. Naming each ally, Ms. Gandhi said, everyone had supported it and "I don't see any problems within the United Progressive Alliance."

Ado-trastuzumab emtansine
(add-oh traz-too-zuh-mab em-tan-seen)
Trade/other name(s): Kadcyla, trastuzumab emtansine, T-DM1
Why would this drug be used?
This drug is used to treat certain types of breast cancer. It is being studied for use against other types of cancer as well.
How does this drug work?
Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a type of drug known as an antibody-drug conjugate. It has 2 parts. The first is a monoclonal antibody (a man-made version of an immune system protein) called trastuzumab. It specifically attaches to the HER2 protein, which is found on the surface of cells and normally helps them grow. Some breast (and other) cancers have higher than normal amount of this protein on their cells. The second part is a chemotherapy drug known as DM1, which works by interfering with microtubules, part of the internal scaffolding needed by cells when they are dividing to make new cells.
The antibody acts like a homing signal, bringing the chemotherapy drug to the cancer cells, where it enters the cells and causes them to die when they try to divide. The antibody itself may also help to stop the cancer cells from growing and may cause the body's immune system to help kill them.
Not all breast cancers have too much of the HER2 protein on the cell surfaces. Your doctor will test your cancer cells to be sure they have this before starting treatment with this drug. (Most likely this will already have been done before you received other treatments aimed at HER2.)
Before taking this medicine
Tell your doctor…
- If you are allergic to anything, including medicines, dyes, additives, or foods.
- If you have ever had heart problems (such as congestive heart failure, an abnormal heart rhythm, or a recent heart attack), radiation to the chest, or if you have ever had medicines that might have damaged your heart. This drug may raise your risk of heart failure (see "Precautions" below).
- If you have any type of liver disease, including hepatitis or cirrhosis. This drug can damage the liver, which in some cases might even be life threatening (see "Precautions" below).
- If you have any other medical conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, gout, or infections. Your doctor may need to monitor you more closely during treatment.
- If you had to stop getting trastuzumab (Herceptin), a similar drug, because you had a reaction to it. People who have had serious reactions to trastuzumab should not get this drug.
- If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or if there is any chance of pregnancy. This drug can cause harm to the fetus if it is given to a woman during pregnancy Women who could become pregnant need to follow special precautions if taking this drug (see "Precautions" below).
- If you are breast-feeding. While no studies have been done, this drug may pass into breast milk and affect the baby. Women should not breast-feed during treatment with this drug (see "Precautions" below).
- If you think you might want to have children in the future. This drug has not been tested for its effects on fertility. Talk with your doctor about the possible risk with this drug and the options that may preserve your ability to have children.
- About any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines you are taking, including vitamins and herbs. In fact, keeping a written list of each of these medicines (including the doses of each and when you take them) with you in case of emergency may help prevent complications if you get sick.
Interactions with other drugs
This drug might interact with a number of other drugs and supplements, so it is important to check with your health care team before taking any new medicines.
Some drugs could cause this drug to build up in your blood, which might worsen side effects and other problems:
- Some antibiotics, such as erythromycin, clarithromycin (Biaxin), telithromycin (Ketek), and similar drugs
- Anti-fungal medicines such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), and voriconazole (Vfend)
- Some anti-depressant drugs, such as nefazodone (Serzone)
- Some anti-HIV drugs, such as indinavir (Crixivan), ritonavir (Kaletra), nelfinavir (Viracept), atazanavir (Reyataz), saquinavir (Invirase), and others
These drugs should be avoided while taking ado-trastuzumab emtansine if possible. If you need to take any of them, your dose of this drug may need to be delayed.
Some drugs and supplements might lower the levels of this drug in the blood, which might make it less effective:
- Anti-seizure drugs, such as carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital (Solfoton), and phenytoin (Dilantin)
- Drugs to treat tuberculosis (TB), such as rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane; also in Rifamate and Rifater), rifabutin (Mycobutin), and rifapentin (Prifin)
- The steroid drug dexamethasone (Decadron)
- St. John's wort (herbal dietary supplement)
Do not start or stop taking any of these medicines without talking with your doctor(s) about all of the medicines you take.
This drug can increase your risk of uncontrolled bleeding (see "Precautions"). Drugs and supplements that interfere with blood clotting can increase this risk further. These include:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) and many others
- Vitamin E
- Warfarin (Coumadin)
- Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
- Clopidogrel (Plavix)
- Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
- Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)
- Apixaban (Eliquis)
- Fondaparinux (Arixtra)
- Any type of heparin including enoxaparin (Lovenox) and dalteparin (Fragmin)
Note that many cold, flu, fever, and headache remedies contain aspirin or ibuprofen. Ask your pharmacist if you aren't sure what's in the medicines you take.
No other serious interactions are known at this time, but this does not necessarily mean that none exist. Check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about your other medicines, herbs, and supplements, and whether alcohol can cause problems with this medicine.
Interactions with foods
Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or grapefruit extract might change the level of this drug in your blood. Check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about whether you should avoid grapefruit products during treatment with this drug, and about whether other foods may be a problem.
Tell all the doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists you visit that you are taking this drug.
How is this drug taken or given?
This drug is given by infusion in a vein (IV). The dose depends on your weight.
The first dose is typically given over 90 minutes. You will be watched closely during the first infusion and for at least 90 minutes afterward for possible signs of an infusion reaction (see "Precautions" below). If you don't have any problems, later doses can be given over 30 minutes, after which you will be watched closely for another 30 minutes. Your doctor or nurse might give you medicine before your treatment to try to prevent an infusion reaction.
This drug is typically given once every 3 weeks. Later treatments might need to be delayed and/or the dose reduced if you have a reaction during the infusion or have other side effects. If the effects are severe enough, treatment with this drug might need to be stopped altogether.
This drug can cause infusion reactions in some people when it is given, especially with the first treatment. Mild reactions usually consist of fever and chills. More serious reactions happen rarely, but can be dangerous. Symptoms can include flushing (warmth and redness of the skin), feeling lightheaded or dizzy (due to low blood pressure), fast heartbeat, hives, nausea, itching, headache, coughing, tightness in the throat or chest, shortness of breath, or swelling of the face, tongue, or eyes. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you notice any of these symptoms during or after being given the drug.
This drug can damage the liver, which in some cases might be life threatening. Your doctor will check your liver function with blood tests before each treatment with this drug. Your dose may need to be lowered and/or delayed, or the drug stopped altogether if the tests show liver damage. Tell your doctor right away if you notice possible symptoms of liver damage, such as nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen (especially on the right side), yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, loss of appetite, or itching skin.
This drug may damage the muscle of the heart. This risk is higher if you are also treated with other drugs that can damage the heart, such as chemotherapy drugs known as anthracyclines (including doxorubicin and epirubicin). Your doctor will test your heart function before treatment and regularly (about every 3 months) during treatment with this drug. Possible symptoms of heart damage might include increased coughing, trouble breathing (especially at night), heart palpitations, rapid weight gain (5 pounds or more in less than a week – for a reliable weight, be sure to weigh yourself at the same time of day while wearing the same type of clothes), dizziness, fainting, or swelling in the ankles or legs. Tell your doctor right away if you start to notice any of these symptoms once treatment starts.
In rare cases, patients have developed severe lung disease (pneumonitis) during treatment with this drug. Tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms that might be caused by lung problems, such as trouble breathing, coughing, wheezing, or feeling tired.
This drug might cause nerve damage (neuropathy). This can lead to numbness, weakness, pain, or sensations of burning or tingling, usually in the hands or feet. These symptoms can sometimes progress to include sensitivity to cold or trouble walking or holding things in your hands. Let your doctor know right away if you notice any of these problems. If your symptoms are severe enough, this drug may need to be stopped or the dose reduced until they get better.
This drug might leak from the vein or needle and cause reactions such as redness, tenderness, skin irritation, or pain or swelling at the infusion site. If this happens, it is likely to be within 24 hours of the infusion. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you notice any of these symptoms.
Your doctor will test your blood throughout your treatment, looking for possible effects of the drug on blood cell counts or on other body organs. Based on the test results, you may be given medicines to help treat any effects. Your doctor may also need to reduce or delay your next dose of this drug, or even stop it altogether. Keep all your appointments for lab tests and doctor visits.
This drug can lower your blood platelet count, which can raise your risk of bleeding. Your doctor will check your platelet count before each treatment, and your dose might need to be delayed and/or reduced if you have a low platelet count. Be sure your doctor knows if you take any medicines that may affect your body's ability to stop bleeding (see "Interactions with other drugs"), because these can increase the risk of serious bleeding.
This drug can increase your risk of serious bleeding. The risk may be higher if your platelet count is low or if you are taking certain medicines such as blood thinners (see "Interactions with other drugs"), but bleeding has can happen without these risk factors. Tell your doctor right away if you cough up blood or have unusual bruising, nosebleeds, unexpected or severe vaginal bleeding, bleeding gums when you brush your teeth, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, or black, tarry stools. Bleeding that happens in the brain can cause symptoms of a stroke, such as weakness and/or numbness on one side of the body, and trouble speaking or moving. If you have these symptoms get emergency help.
This drug might lower your red blood cell count. If this occurs, it will usually happen a few months after starting treatment. A low red blood cell count (known as anemia) can cause shortness of breath, or make you to feel weak or tired all the time.
This drug can lower your white blood cell count. This can increase your chance of getting an infection. Be sure to let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have any signs of infection, such as fever (100.5° or higher), chills, pain when passing urine, new onset of cough, or bringing up sputum.
Do not get any immunizations (vaccines), either during or after treatment with this drug, without your doctor's OK. This drug might affect your immune system. This could make vaccinations ineffective, or even lead to serious infections if you get live vaccines during treatment or for some time afterward. Try to avoid contact with people who have recently received a live virus vaccine, such as the oral polio vaccine or smallpox vaccine. Check with your doctor about this.
This drug should not be taken if you are pregnant. This drug might cause problems with the fetus if taken at the time of conception or during pregnancy. Women who could become pregnant need to use effective birth control during treatment and for at least 6 months afterward. Check with your doctor about what kinds of birth control can be used with this medicine. Tell your doctor right away if you think you might be pregnant.
This drug might pass into breast milk, which could affect the baby. This drug should not be taken if you are breast-feeding. Women who are taking this drug and their doctors should decide if they will get this drug or breast-feed, but they should not do both.

Cumbria Police boss fears force may have to merge as budget plea rejected
Last updated at 15:56, Friday, 21 February 2014
PROPOSALS to increase the police's budget have been knocked back by Cumbria County Councillors – putting the force at risk of merger, it has been claimed.
Yesterday's meeting of Cumbria County Council's police and crime panel rejected plans which would have seen the police share of council tax increase by 1.93 per cent – the equivalent of £3.96 per year for a band D property.
The panel voted against the proposed increase eight to three. A decrease in crime with a reduced workforce was cited as one of the key reasons.
However, Cumbria police receives around 25 per cent of its budget through a Home Office policy known as "damping" which is under review. Police fear Cumbria could lose millions within two years if the funding formula is changed.
Richard Rhodes, police and crime commissioner for Cumbria, fears should the damping funding be withdrawn, Cumbria would be a prime candidate for a force merger.
He told the panel: "There is no speculation the government are going to review police funding.
"There are talks of mergers and one very simple way the government could force a merger would be to heavily reduce damping, and my office has advised you of that risk.
"The proposal in front of you could reduce that risk."
The police and crime commissioners' executive panel is due to meet on Monday, where the force budget is set to be discussed by Cumbria's top officers.
Councillor Celia Tibble, chairwoman of the panel, voted in favour of the proposals.
She said: "I'm very concerned about the risk, as with other blue light services, that we are going to be penned in with North West as the ambulance service has.
"I've big concerns for Cumbria that we will lose our identity."
Justifying the decision to reject the proposals, Councillor David Wilson said: "One of the reasons we are rejecting this proposal is mainly the reduction of crime in the county. Mr Rhodes is doing well."
Mr Rhodes declined to comment following the meeting.

What an unexpectedly great conversation!! I loved all the talk about finding and following your own unique path as a artist! Learning about the Uncabaret is like finding a history book on something you thought you knew, but didn't!
Thanks Scott. Mary Lynn is fun to talk to and listen to:) Come say hi at a show if you are ever in LA.
Great live chit chat. Lovely. Yes comedy clubs are odd the world over.
Am in LA from UK so hoping to see your show Beth. Love what you said about recognising people's rhythms and you saying your comedy got worse before it got better. I think people do worry about laughing AT women. thanks for this so interesting to hear your discussion.-
We're at First & Hope every Sunday night. Come check it out.
My reply looked so unfriendly when I saw it – thanks niki – do come – it;s fun – lots of rhythms and fun. Say hi when you are there.
I don't want to criticize anything about the show because MaryLynn is such a likeable person, but for God's sake-for those of us who are childless on purpose, there is nothing charming about a kid constantly trying to interrupt and make sure we all know he's there. I have to keep in mind that most kids are overindulged, and I think that one is, too. One previous podcast sounded like it was being recorded out of a tin can, interspersed with screaming children. In fact, the only thing recorded in full sound was a gaggle of screaming kids.
People who like kids won't understand any of that, of course. Thanks to Beth for being diplomatic about the interuption. I would have told the kid to beat it. -

County Legislature Appoints Binghamton City Engineer as New Highway Superintendent
Friday, July 25, 2014
Cortland County has a new Highway Superintendent. Lawmakers have voted to hire Broome County resident Philip Krey to serve as the next head of the County Highway Department, Solid Waste Division, and County Airport.
Krey who lives in Conklin is currently Binghamton's City Engineer. He has previous engineering experience in the private sector as well.
Krey was approved unanimously by the legislature last night, he says he looks forward to settling into his new role here in Cortland County.
Krey pledged that he will work to continue the county's current 10 year multi-million dollar road and bridge capital improvement plan. Krey believes the plan is adequately tackling the needs of the county's aging infrastructure, he says trying keep up with highway repairs is always a challenge given the limited resources that many communities face.
As Binghamton City Engineer Krey was in charge of design, management and construction supervision of all city projects including street reconstruction, water and sewer systems, parks, bridges and all other infrastructure.
He administered the City's Sidewalk Assistance Program, maintained and updated city maps and provided engineering services to other city departments. Krey's responsibilities also included oversight of Binghamton wastewater treatment plant. Krey acknowledged he has never managed a landfill or an airport before, those two facilities also fall under the County highway department.
Krey's appointment follows a nearly five month long search, he succeeds former County Highway Superintendent Don Chambers who left in March to take the same position in St. Lawrence County.
Initially the county did not see at lot of interest in the job. Lawmakers voted to raise the salary to draw in more applicants.
Krey will be paid nearly $94 thousand dollars a year not including fringe benefits. Krey is expected to start at the end of August and will be required to move to Cortland County as a condition of his appointment.

My apology if anyone has been offended by my use of the word "breed". The purpose of the usage was purely for rhetorical emphasis. Plus this expression has been in common use for the precisely this purpose by both side. Anyhow, there are small but vocal support for binational one-state solution from both side precisely because of "the reality" of demography.As of the claims that there is "fertility collapse" among Israeli Arab, the statistics simply does not back such claims. As of Jewish immigration, the global and overall demographic trend of Jewish Diaspora is no better than Jews in Israel. Plus a collapse of Eastern Block is a one off event and it should not be seen as a trend. Here is a statistics from Israel Central Bureau of Statisticshttp://www1.cbs.gov.il/shnaton57/st02_05.pdf
It is worth noting that:
1- the Zionists opposed letting the dispossed Jews of Europe go to the US. Ernest Beven's attepmts to convice the US to accept them came to naught.
2- the challenge to the UN's authority to divide a country against the will of the majority of its inhabitants should have been submitted to the Internaional Court of Justice as proposed by the Iraqui and Syrian delegates to the UN, but it was blocked by Zionist pressure in Washington.
Vapour, Your comment reflects a great deal of ignorance and racism, and an ideology not too different from the Nazis in Europe. Look at yourself in the mirror.
Has anyone else noticed that whenever it seems as though a solution is in the offing one side or the other commits an atrocious act that stops it? Since the Israelis get American taxpayer money and the Palestinians get Arab oil money could it be that since peace would stop or drastically reduce the flow of money to both sides, neither want peace? Sometimes I think the Israelis and the Palestines deserve each other.
Lyn MThe main problem with Yakobson and Rubinstein Israel's apologetics is that they are of interest only to arm chair moralists. In practical terms, Israel is an established fact and whatever happened in 1948, it's impossible to turn the clock 60 years back. The Arabs are facing a very simple option, either they accept the reality and agree to compromise on a two state solution, or there will be another war. That's the situation.
Vapour wrote:October 25, 2008 22:21Why is there no mention of ""demographic bomb". Arab would simply out breed Jews making Jewish state an impossible notion in democratic context.***************************The Arab demographic bomb has been massively malfunctioning lately everywhere from North Africa to Israel and even to the fundamentalist Saudi Arabia. The bomb is already struggling to outperform Jewish immigration to Israel and at the current rate of the collapse of Arab fertility, the bomb may get completely defused with the next decade. Never mind that Israelis are no demographic pushovers, this is no Europe.
While Yakobson and Rubinste wrote a whole book defending Israel's "right to exist," in several points alluded to in the review stand out for their falseness: "... the fact that the Jews were homeless as well as stateless" prior to Israel's founding. This just simply isn't true. Jews had citizenship in their respective places of origin, and some still do. While many were made homeless by WWII, so were many other citizens war-torn countries. Nor was Palestine the only place that would accept Jewish refugees, Argentina and at least one other country (Australia or South Africa) accepted refugees from the Nazis throughout their reign in Germany.Secondly, the authors dispute the idea that the UN gave most of Palestine to the Jews because of their ancient claim. So what if that wasn't reason the UN recommended the partition? This is a classic propaganda ploy, to win a single point but one which isn't really germain. To imply that it follows from the UN reasons for recommending the partition (i.e., that the Jewish refugees of Europe needed to go there, itself a Zionist premise which hasn't been proven, and likely more based on strong desire by Zionists to get Jews to immigrate to Palestine than anything) that Israel has a right to exist. The majority of the people of Palestine were against the partition, but they weren't consulted. Of course many Zionists claim the ancient "right," and anti-Zionists dispute it, and the fact is that international law generally doesn't support such ancient rights. While the authors argue that the "right of return" isn't discrimnatory, this is ignoring that whole foundation of Israel was specifically based on getting rid of non-Jews from Palestine, a goal of Zionists from the inception of the movement. In 1948 and for many years after, Israel and its Zionist founders conducted a campaign of mass murder and terror against Palestinian civilians, innocent men, women and children often of otherwise peaceful villages. This is what the authors call non-discrimnatory, killing people who don't follow the dominant religion, destroying their homes and taking thier land and livelihood away, then excluding them and their descendents forever from their country of birth? Non-Jews are still encouraged to emigrate, for many years by state policy and even today by state practices. Israel gives preference in immigration to Jews who converted to the religion over people who were born in what became Israel. That's what they call "kin." If Israel followed similar kinship rules as described of Germany, Greece, Finland, Poland and Armenia, the Palestinian refugees would be allowed to return.
Why is there no mention of ""demographic bomb". Arab would simply out breed Jews making Jewish state an impossible notion in democratic context.
If Jews and non-Jews would have perfectly equal rights in Israel, what would be Jewish about it?If they are not going to have equal rights, the problem is obvious...The fact the UN devided the Land (whatever you want to call this land) into two states to host Jewish who flew from Europe is in itself a disgrace to democracy and human rights!! Shouldn't the UN guarantee a safe stay for the Jewish community in any place it lives in instead?
I don't understand how a two-state solution is now being considered as a democratic and rightful solution, while it contradicts the human rights declaration!!!Two-state solution as discussed here means that all arabs who come from Israeli cities belong to Palestinian territories and don't have the right to be citizens in their own cities!!! I don't care about two-states, one state, or no state at all solution, all I4m saying is that every human being has the right to live in the city he and his fathers and grandfathers were born in!!!!
Just think about it - Israel has the second largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the US and is a top-5, if not 3, world R&D center. If you compare those achievements with two export products (i.e. oil and terrorism) of their enemies the discussion seems to be rather pointless.

Your calling it tribal identity means nothing to me. Yes, I would like to live in a nation state, not some multicultural paradise or a bastion of Proletarian internationalism. In fact, I lived in both and I was not impressed.

Oh yes."A two state solution won't work because that would require that the Palestinian state be an actual functioning state, not an Israeli puppet, or a failed or tottering one. Whether the Palestinians are even capable of creating a functioning state divided like Pakistan in '48 is another open question. This will be a long bumpy ride with both neighbors hoping the other ill. All in the name of nationalism, history, religion and reality. Where do we get off this bus?"This may well be the case. So what? You can offer something better besides intellectually challenging accepted identities? One of Israel's biggest problems in the last years was a steady trickle of refugees fleeing the Arab genocide in Darfur. Israelis don't fancy themselves with the idea of finding one day that it's their turn to live in refugee camps. The status quo may not be perfect but it's sure better than turning a whole country into one big Sudan or Lebanon.
NB12You find nothing wonderful or exciting about "societies united on the basis of democracy, equal protection and respect for human rights than on the basis of tribal identity?" Understanding the local realities is fine but it should not become an excuse for accepting a status quo which is dangerous, unfair and ultimately unworkable. The fact that the status quo currently favors a particular class does not make it wise policy (or excusable) - look at South Africa and apartheid. (The comparison between Israel and the Arabs and Czechoslovakia's situations does not work: for one, the Czechs and the Slovaks were stitched together.)If the world is becoming more nationalistic and not less, more sectarian and not ecumenical, given all that history has shown us, I would think you might want to explore some other options. Any society which depends on general instability in its region for its preservation sits on a knife's edge.What I suggest will be challenging for people whose identities depend on tribal attachment and the notion of the other. While that view may make the world easier, it is also wrong, blinkered and dangerous. Again, I am suggesting no solution for the Middle East. Given the state of minds on both sides, I see none. A two state solution won't work because that would require that the Palestinian state be an actual functioning state, not an Israeli puppet, or a failed or tottering one. Whether the Palestinians are even capable of creating a functioning state divided like Pakistan in '48 is another open question. This will be a long bumpy ride with both neighbors hoping the other ill. All in the name of nationalism, history, religion and reality. Where do we get off this bus?
With respect to IOBJECT, a clarification of my view: indeed Iran and Hamas are the Islamic hardcore religious; Syria and Fatah are the ethnic-Arab flavor of nationalism.
By the way there is nothing wrong about Arab nationalism if practiced sensibly. Anwar Sadat of Egypt gave an example there.
Equally there is everything right about Jewish Nationalism, when practiced in moderation, and with respect to other nationalalities including the Arab one.
So I regret Bernard Rex finds such thoughts "chill inducing". All countries of the world define themselves on a national basis, and the trick (taught by History) is to practice in moderation. Arguments against this are slightly out-of-touch when applied to the world at large; but if they are concentrated against Israeli nationality alone, they border on discrimination. "Chill inducing" indeed.
Its true as he says, Israel must maintain "a vigilant defense", but man does not live by defense alone. A moral compass is necessary if society is to function, which is why its important to keep a clear view of what constitutes right and wrong.
Bernard RexYou may think what you want about what should be wonderful to believe in and what the ideal state should look like, but you should always bear in mind that many people find nothing wonderful or exciting about your ideas (I am one of them). And the general direction of things in many parts of the world is about more nationalism and not less of it. Even in the same Europe. Any reasonable solution should be taking into account the local realities and not what you want the locals to believe to be wonderful.The reality of the Middle East is that it's only moving from its sectarian identities into its religions ones and back. For such a region the velvet divorce the style of the former Czechoslovakia is the best possible solution, but even this seems to be impossible in most places. So what you are talking about here?IOBJECTPan Arabism is dead. Besides a couple of bloggers and the three and half SSNP supporters in Lebanon, nobody cares about it today.
Working Man is completely incorrect on Syria and Fatah. Syria has a complete secular government , and Fatah is a secular organization composing of Muslims , Christians and Druze. Iran and Hamas are the Islamic hardcore religious.What is "occupation" claims that Arabs didn't have nationalism. Then whatever happened to Gemal Abdul Nasser? He created the whole idea of Pan Arab nationalism which is still pretty alive to this day. Every Arab country flag is comprised of the same colors; green , red , white , and black all which are Pan Arab nationalistic colors.Gaza was not offered to Egypt until Israel decided that it didn't want it to be a separate state. And likewise with the West Bank , it was offered to include Jordan as to dissolve the idea of a people called "Palestinians" and instead to call them Egyptians and Jordanians.
Working Man diverts; he does not address the central tragedy of the middle east. I am not offering any solutions, two state, one state, whatever. Ultimately, the survival of a nation does not depend on asserted "rights" - while it would be wonderful to believe that nations and peoples have inalienable rights, sadly, it isn't true. (No one worries about Carolingian, Byzantine or Frankish self determination.) Israel will maintain itself as a Jewish state so long as it maintains a vigilant defense and a policy to ensure that its non-Jewish minority remains a minority. If circumstances do not permit this, for whatever reason, then it will not. It is entirely conceivable (and probably likely) that Israel will endure but not a Jewish state but as a secular one. On the whole, wouldn't it be better if people formed societies united on the basis of democracy, equal protection and respect for human rights than on the basis of tribal identity? Sadly, Europe, as heretofore largely driven by tribalism and religious identity, has given its Jews a rotten time. That's why I said it is sadly ironic that the Jewish people have opted for the "blood and soil" solution to their problem, considering how well this solution has worked so far. There's too much sad irony in the middle east. Working Man is certainly correct when he says that religious/ethnic identity is very strong and dangerous in Israels neighbors and would-be adversaries. But, the rise of such fundamentalism/ethnic fervor can be traced - we can argue the degree another time - to European, Israeli and later American treatment of these peoples and states. They became more radicalized as they grew more frustrated. True, their leadership has been largely corrupt and failed to protect their people's interests, which is why saying the Palestinians made a choice is absurd. Those peasants made no choices. The deck was stacked against them. (Read Benny Morris' Righteous Victims.) Of course, the greater irony is that it is Israel's best short term interests that its neighbors have weak ineffective and corrupt governments which poorly serve their people. How much safer would Israel feel if its neighbors were progressive, efficient, modern and aggrieved?Even accepting Working Man's assertion - which, living in Holland, I do not - that there are "robust movements that feel pride in their national groups or religious affiliation... that constitute the vast majority of citizens," is this a necessarily a good thing? This is chill inducing. It is one thing to like who you are; quite another to believe that it entitles you to more rights or special dispensation. Furthermore, why should one feel pride in one tribe's history at all? Regarding one's tribal/national history, it's history and you did not do it. Isn't collective pride the flip side of collective guilt? Neither is right. Seeing ourselves as groups as opposed to individuals can lead to dangerous things.As said, history has given the Jew a bad deal; the worst irony would be if Israel did too.
Interesting comments on the creation of the state of Israel and how the "palestinians" do not have a state....One must look at the region and also understand at this time the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands jews from the arab world that had lived in their historic homes since before the ARABS came from Arabia...Jews were living in the middle east areas before the arab invasions and occupation of Mohammed.Who deserves a state is a great question, start with the Kurds!I know it's not politically correct, but at the time of 1948 the ARABS of the area in question did not feel a NATIONALISTIC movement within them.Thus the rejection by the Arabs for an additional state.Gaza was always claimed by Egypt and the west bank was claimed by Jordan.Regardless of what the League of Nations had set forth as a legally correct positiongiving the majority of the east and west bank to the Jewish people, in 1948 that precedent setting position was tossed and Jordan & Iraq were created to be given to the displaced "kings" of arabia..."Nationalism" is not a normal idea for the arab world and thus today we call for a creation of an additional arab state to solve the "palestinian" issue. All the pieces for a Palestinian state to create it'sself have been there for decades, you cannot force them to actually become a nation when one really does not exist...
Bernard Rex asks "a basic question that applies to all countries and certainly not just Israel - should a country be defined by a certain ethnic (whatever that means), religious (easier to define but still messy) or other identity? Isn't doing so anachronistic?"
Philosophically that is intesresting but in practice all known countries have defined themselves on these bases. Even if one argues that in some places other ideas are arising - they are certainly not arising amongst Israel's critics. Iran, Syria and all Palestinian groups (whether Fatah or Hamas) are hard-core religious (Islamic) and Ethnic (whether Shia or Arab, as the case may be).
Furthermore, even among the countries cited by Mr. "Rex" (Holland, Denmark, France), there are robust movements that feel pride in their national groups or religious affiliation and taken together constitue the vast majority of citizens.
People who argue as Mr. "Rex" are being dishonest. The practical result of their argument is to justify the destruction of Jewish independence. Mr. "Rex" exposes his motives with his last argument, "why should Palestinian peasants pay the price for European barbarism?".
Answer: Palestinians are not paying the price of European barbarism, but rather the price of their choice. They rejected the two-state solution offered by the U.N. in 1947, even though Israel accepted it. Instead Palestinians chose an Arab war with the annihilation of Israel as its goal. They lost that war.
War causes suffering and much injustice on both sides. But the two-sate solution remains the moral and rational choice.
One suspects some, with motives similar to Mr. "Rex", are moving away from the two-state propsoal precisely because Israelis have accepted it.
"But the inescapable fact is that the Arabs of Palestine never got the state the UN promised them, and those in the West Bank and (until recently) Gaza have spent the past 40 years under Israeli military occupation, with no citizenship rights at all. That, the authors imply, is another story, separate from the one that interests them: the internal quality of Israeli democracy and the rights of Israel's own Arabs. In logic, maybe. But in the eyes of the Palestinians, and others, it is hardly surprising, after all the stateless decades, that the two stories have merged."You overlook the fact that Israel chose not to annex Gaza and the West Bank. It had always hoped some day to give away most of these territories, but the Arab states initially refused any deal (The three Nos of Khartoum) Following the OSLO agreements, these lands are now autonomous, with the PA controlling the West Bank and Hamas Gaza. Israel did annex Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and the Arab population were offered full rights as Israeli citizens. If most Arabs/Druze have not taken up these rights, is it Israel's fault?

We do overrate our players consistently. I would say that right now, at this moment there isn't a single star player on our team. I am sure someone will find a way to disagree, but you need at least one or two top drawer players on your team to win (among other things like grit which we don't have either). Price and PK are destined for greatness, and they can be a great foundation. In the meantime I feel like all of the forwards are middles.

I agree that Eller should probably hone his skills in Hamilton. It seemed to work for Pach. It would just be easier to learn the hard way if that makes any sense.

I am not a big fan of Martin, but there is plenty of blame to go around. I think PG should go too. They form a pair, both can walk. Gauthier took a gamble by letting #44 go, and he lost. Gauthier saw the beat down from Boston last season, and he did not put together a real 4th line. Apparently Bob and PG were chatting over a half hour after the game was done.

- "Banshee TA" Album
- Description: Banshee is a collaboration of Hermance Design and Restore a Muscle Car, the same Trans Am aficionados that organize the annual Bandit Run.
Based on the new Camaro, this Firebird conversion package is intended to fill the void left by the demise of Pontiac. It's the marriage of truly innovative design and the experience of dedicated Pontiac experts that distinguishes this package from the rest of the crowd.
We're creating a high performance car that unmistakably pays homage to the Firebird's heritage while focusing on what a real evolution in styling could have been. We have a unique opportunity to shed many of the corporate restraints that plagued muscle cars for decades in order to produce something enthusiasts actually want. This is the car based on years of hearing "What if…" from enthusiasts and designers alike. We listened.
Aside from the obvious styling considerations, we're currently working with a number of vendors to determine the final list of performance, convenience and comfort options that will optimize the platform at a competitive price. The upgrades will be significant and well planned. Don't believe for a second it's going to be yet another rebadged 2010 Camaro with big spoilers and split grill. - By: restoreamusclecar
