Last week, Jack Thompson told ABC's Nightline that he's out to destroy Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games.
Yesterday, attorneys for Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, fired off a letter to Wolfman Productions, a Connecticut firm which is promoting a college debate tour featuring the controversial Miami attorney.
T2's lawyers demanded that Wolfman immediately cease displaying a GTA San Andreas logo on the web page used to publicize the Thompson tour. By last evening, Wolfman Productions had apparently complied with the demand, as the GTA image is no longer visible. Remaining on the debate page, however, are well-known video game characters Duke Nukem, Master Chief and Lara Croft.
GamePolitics has not yet received a comment from Wolfman Productions, although, to be fair, it was after-hours when we learned of this situation via e-mail from Thompson. For his part, the Miami lawyer's response to the Take-Two cease-and-desist was typically vitriolic. An e-mail from Thompson to Take-Two's attorney read, in part:
Are y'all threatening CBS and ABC and Rolling Stone and every gaming site and magazine in the universe, or just my college debate booking agent because you and your bullying company think they can get away with it?
… I am going to have am absolute ball pointing out to the world that Take-Two, the self-righteous, great defenders of "freedom of expression," simply CANNOT abide Jack Thompson's agent using allegedly protected trademarks of Take-Two. Freedom of expression my butt.
By the way, we note that author Gerard Jones (Killing Monsters: Why Children Need Fantasy, Super Heroes & Make Believe Violence) has been added to the Thompson debate tour. That's a step up from Bob Gucicone, Jr., whose connection to the video game issue was unclear, at best.

I'm not entirely opposed to it. I'm coming from the standpoint of don't do it just to do it. If it is to be done I would like effort and thought to be at the forefront of its development. Past regions would be fun, yes, but isn't that why we've been getting remakes as well.
A new cluster of islands or a Mt. Silver and cities type of thing would be cool too. Especially if it managed to go completely under radar.

John (walhalla )
Bought one in February and hasn't ran good since. Skipping and starving for fuel. I called tech support and the told me how to adjust the Auto TUNER yea lol. Don't wast your money cheap product
Trevor (Palm Coast )
Great product. I notice a decent increase in performance at the top end that I had before. The only thing was my mechanic said that the jets that were recommended by Cobra for my bike left the bike very lean. He was able to get everything right with what was in the kit though. The bike runs better than ever and am very happy with the product.
Arthur (New Ellenton )
I've had people try to tell me that this won't work "get the power commander V"... Well, I'm here to tell you, if you are changing your slip-on mufflers, head pipes, intake, or even cams, this thing works. I have had it on three bikes now and not only has it improved performance, I get better gas mileage, lower run temps, and no decel pop to speak of. Love the auto-tune feature.
Jose (La Jolla )
I like that I can change the MAP on it from higher RPMs in the low end or high end. But now more power means more fun and I might think about a bigger bike.
Mark (Merrillville )
I had a 2007 R1 with a power commander 5 Graves full race exhaust and professionally tuned. And, you know those bikes only make a hundred and forty-nine horsepower stock mine was tuned to 172.8 the bad is R1 in the Midwest... Better ask somebody.
Ronald (Mooresville )
Install on my Yamaha Stratoliner was very easy, took less than 30 minutes. Luckily the tuner for my bike uses a 6 pin connector and not the injector connectors- so many seem to have a problem. Operation and tuning is easy. No PC needed and you can tune any time you want, even on the fly if you were to mount it where you can operate it while riding. That's not happening with a power commander! My bike runs much smoother and crisper now, throttle modulation is smooth and predictable. Fueling is much improved over stock. I have owned this tuner for about a month now and no regrets. Its exactly what my bike needed. *IMPORTANT* The Wiseco instructions for my bike are generic and not bike specific and neglect to tell you to disconnect the 02 sensor, which you SHOULD do. The Dobeck Performance web site (they make this tuner for Wiseco) is MUCH better for install and tuning info.

My husband told me today that the last few times we've had sex his penis was a little irritated the next morning. I did a quick search and found some information about vagina ph becoming more acidic during pregnancy and that could be the cause?
I don't recall this happening during my first pregnancy, so I was wondering if any of you ladies have any experience with this or any advice!


text: I am having the 27" iMac some months back. I am very fond of video songs and movies. I am looking for an external Blu-Ray Burner for iMac.

Waiting for your replies.

A State Without a Conception
Israel under Sharon has become a sick country. It is gradually losing most of the promises that were borne by the Zionist movement before and after the establishment of the state, and especially so when the sand in the national hourglass is trickling away at a most alarming rate.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's greatest cruelty to his subjects is that he isn't prepared to reveal the method behind the madness into which he has dragged them. It would have been possible to manage somehow were it not for the mystery of this unique experiment in Western democracy: One person brings an entire country into an experience of the absurd that ranges between Samuel Beckett's plays and Israeli playwright Hanoch Levin's satires. It is not only the street, where most people do not believe him any more, that he has managed to hoodwink. An entire political establishment is flipping through his fingers like a card in the hand of a master of deception. Last week he was just a single vote away from no-confidence in the Knesset. This week, a sortie on Sheikh Ahmed Yassin slipped him easily into the Passover recess with an extreme right purring in satisfaction and a stammering main opposition.
This stalling of all of the political apparatus' wheels is already considered an incurable national malady. In the midst of the sound-and-light effects of the attack, helicopters, and vain policy promises, the fact that there has never been a period of such crashing in the parliamentary system has been forgotten. It is infected with the suspicion of corruption from the Sharon family on down. The insubstantial gallery in the Knesset is insulting. Even since Haaretz proved for the first time in the 1970s that there is organized crime here, the elders of Safed never dreamed that the mafia would penetrate there. The left in the age of former Meretz head MK Yossi Sarid and Yossi Beilin (formerly a Labor Party MK and minister, now extra-parliamentary head of the new party Yahad) has become the target of unprecedented enmity. Even a first-rate journalist and sworn dove like Nahum Barnea of the mass-circulation daily Yedioth Ahronoth heaps syntactical acrobatics of scorn on this beleaguered camp.
With Sharon, even more than in the nightmarish days of former prime minister Golda Meir, Israel has become a state without a conception, or what in Hebrew they call a konseptzia. Golda had at least two conceptions. One was that there is no such thing as the Palestinian people. The other, most famously, was what led to the Yom Kippur War. And she also had a third - that the protesting Sephardi Israelis "aren't nice." For three decades, the former hegemony party has spent most of its time at the playing field on the bench. The Labor Party has become accustomed to this to such a despairing extent that hardly anything remains of the slivers of creative enthusiasm in its political thinking. This is a special achievement of Sharon's, because there has not yet been - and you can count in Benjamin Netanyahu - a right-wing leader in power so destructive and so worthy of being deposed.
The hoof and mouth disease of a possible alternative government has been exacerbated by the strange crash of the center. The chance of a political center in days of national cholera is to funnel support into it from people who abandon the right and the left. Shinui did this, but blended into the murky wave of anti-conception. With a resounding electoral success, it began to erode most of its principles. Shinui is marching vigorously to a bad place in the center, joining that same channel of lack of direction. The extreme right has afforded the phenomenon a surrealistic dimension. These margins are striking terror into Sharon's heart, precisely at a time when the notion of the greater land of Israel - one of the most rooted conceptions ever in the history of political thought in Israel - has evaporated. Even Sharon, in what used to be the exclusive province of the lexicon of the left, has begun to talk against "the occupation." But his actions and his inactions have only underlined the new nullity of conceptual discourse: He said no to the occupation. So what?
This matter of non-conception has to do not only with formulations, of course. In a very important way, it is connected to the process of producing native leaders. Thus far, not a single one of them, with the exception of the late Yitzhak Rabin (and in a partial way Shimon Peres and Moshe Dayan, who never became prime minister) ever managed to perform as a leader with a firm, clear and comprehensive outlook toward resolving the conflict. This failure is the public elites' betrayal of their destiny. Therefore, Sharon, Ehud Barak, Netanyahu (and Yigal Allon, as is chillingly shown in the new biography by Anita Shapira) were such huge failures. And Sharon more than all the rest, because of his special potential for advancing a solution with the help of the right.
Israel under Sharon has become a sick country. It is gradually losing most of the promises that were borne by the Zionist movement before and after the establishment of the state, and especially so when the sand in the national hourglass is trickling away at a most alarming rate. Therefore, a question like whether it was correct to assassinate Yassin is dwarfed compared to several profound and frightening fundamental questions that go beyond this or that intifada - no matter how excruciating its contribution to the national anxiety. Without a change of direction, will the state be able to continue this way without collapsing? Has a rooted flaw in the national conduct come to light, some kind of extensive systems malfunction that is bringing down an almost existential danger on us? In short, is this national business approaching the threshold of an even graver crisis than is apparent, to a crumbling of the sort that has afflicted even great powers in a vortex of fatal mistakes? This is the context - and nothing less - in which it is necessary to view the worst and most dangerous period of leadership we have ever had here.

Obviously a Noob question, but hey- thats the reason some of us post right?
Anyway, a few questions about recovery rides-
What are they exactly?
What do they do for you? (or- Why should I do them)
How are they done?
How often are they done?
Now Ill assume for a really in-depth answer one would have to know my training schedule and all sorts of other information, but really Im just looking for the basics.
Thanks all ..

Conference Paper: A Fully Automated Micro-Solid Phase Extraction Chip for Genetic Sample Preparation System[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper presents a fully automated micro-solid phase extraction (micro-SPE) chip for extracting genomic DNA from white blood cells. For realizing automated microfluidic control, high pressure dome-shaped microvalves are monolithically integrated. To increase the DNA extraction efficiency, silica beads were packed in the extraction microchannel involving two weir structures. Experimental results show that DNA extraction efficiency of the automated micro-SPE chip was 63%, averaged from five times successive measurement, in the first 8 mul elution solutions through automated SPE procedures. Furthermore, through the PCR-amplification of the beta-globulin gene, the extracted genomic DNA is verified that it is a good quality for downstream genetic assays.

Two people have been charged with drug dealing after police said they sold prescription drugs.
Phillip Steven Tracy, 25, and Stephanie Marie Mallette, 21, both of Indianapolis, were arrested Sunday. Tracy is charged with dealing a Schedule I, II or III controlled substance. Mallette was charged with aiding, inducing or causing an offense.
Last year, undercover officers bought prescription drugs, including hydrocodone and oxycodone, from Tracy on two occasions, according to a police report. During both incidents, Mallette, who was Tracy's girlfriend, drove him to the deals in Greenwood.
Tracy and Mallette, both of 5936 Lakeview Drive, were taken to the Johnson County jail, where each was being held on $40,000 bond.

Brad Harrington: The objective of a war, it must be remembered, is to obliterate the enemy: to kill them all and break up all of their stuff. And if it is our goal, then let's act on in completely; send over a few hundred thousand troops and wipe the targets off the map. If we have chosen military force as the instrument to employ to achieve the objective, let's not play around: accomplish the mission through absolute, overpowering attack, and then come home.
"It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it." — Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Republican National Convention Speech, 1952
In September and October of 2001, as a result of the 9-11 al-Qaida terrorist attacks, Americans overwhelmingly supported the war in Afghanistan, the purpose of which was to eradicate as much of al-Qaida and the Taliban who was harboring them as possible.
Eight years later, we find ourselves in a quagmire of our own making. Distracted for years by the war in Iraq, the original front in Afghanistan — and the much more proper and appropriate front of the two — languished, and most of the gains made there in 2001-2003 have been reversed. What do we intend to do about it?
President Barack Obama, in a speech given at West Point on Tuesady, has given us our answer: 30,000 new troops within the next six months, followed by a phase-out by the summer of 2011. This, I submit, is a travesty, and will only result in the senseless loss of more American lives with nothing to show for it in the end but another major defeat for the United States to pile on top of Korea and Vietnam. And for exactly the same reason: half-measures instead of decisive, overwhelming strength.
The objective of a war, it must be remembered, is to obliterate the enemy: to kill them all and break up all of their stuff. That is what war is; that is what war does. If that is not our goal, then we have no business being over there in the first place; better to just pull out now and be done with it.
And if it is our goal, then let's act on in completely; send over a few hundred thousand troops and wipe the targets off the map. If we have chosen military force as the instrument to employ to achieve the objective, let's not play around: accomplish the mission through absolute, overpowering attack, and then come home.
In typical weak-sister fashion, however, Obama has decided to hem and haw, which is the worst kind of strategy we could possibly implement: it does nothing but embolden the enemy by telling him that we are not really serious at all. And to add to that an actual departure date is nothing less than treasonous folly: for the enemy will simply outwait us — and hold the civilian population, who could be our greatest asset in fighting this war, as hostage to deadly reprisals should they assist us prior to that date.
Envision, if you will, al-Qaida or the Taliban revealing their strategy in such an incoherent fashion. No? No — it is only our waffling, indecisive, irresolute, fence-straddling president who tries engaging in such militarily imbecilic maneuvers. Whose side is this guy on, anyway?
So: when fighting a war, when is it proper to leave? When all of the enemy are dead and all their stuff is broken — and not a moment sooner. If that takes years, that is what it takes: or have we lost our will to win? Apparently so — and, if so, why bother sending over more troops? What does that accomplish?
Nothing, militarily, since victory no longer seems to be our objective in Afghanistan. But it allows Obama a political out, an exit strategy, a way of looking tough while paving the way to failure. Then, in 18 months, with a few hundred or a few thousand more of our soldiers lying dead or maimed on the mountainsides for no good reason, Obama can pull the plug in favor of running his next presidential campaign. How's that for strategy? Can you imagine employing that strategy against Hitler or Hirohito?
The total result, of course, will be a half-hearted attempt and catastrophe that will please nobody, stain the reputation of the United States for decades to come, and leave us ever more open to future terrorist attacks. Maybe we have decided to not be serious — but you can bet your bottom dollar that al-Qaida's not making that mistake. They have sworn to kill us all. And, given this kind of wanna-be-war stupidity on our part, they are probably going to eventually pull it off.
You do not negotiate with the enemy; you do not turn a war into a political football; you do not reveal your weaknesses for all the world to see and expect to accomplish your mission: you fight to win — or you lose. Which is it going to be?

After fleeing war-torn Europe in 1942, a young Manuel Izquierdo arrived in Portland and quickly found guidance in the city's leading artists. Over time, the sculptor created metal and bronze statues that still dot public spaces across the Portland area, including The Dreamer in Pettygrove Park. This major exhibit showcases the genesis of his 60-year career.

The information in this article applies to:
I am getting the following error in my plan and I don't understand what it means.
"This 'OBJECT' overlaps or crosses itself. It may not look correct in 3D. Filled objects may also draw incorrectly in 2D."
This is a result of a CAD-based closed polyline such as a slab, custom countertop or polyline solid overlapping itself. To solve this issue, find the object that is overlapping itself and correct the problem.
Overlapping lines can be hard to find, so try turning off layers to simplify what you see on-screen and looking closely at the edges and corners of closed CAD-based objects.
You can also try turning off layers to isolate the problem object. If you turn a layer off and the error stops displaying, then look for objects on that layer.
Keep in mind that if this error displays when you create a 3D view, the problem could be on any floor. Try creating a Render Floor Overview on each floor to determine which floor the item is on.

Video: Vince Gill pays tribute to George Strait as part of "Sixty for Sixty"
Country music's biggest stars and fans are helping to make history by joining the "Sixty For Sixty" movement (#60for60), which celebrates George Strait as he approaches the 60th No. 1 single of his career with "Give It All We Got Tonight," before his 61st birthday on May 18.
"Sixty For Sixty" first started on Valentine's Day when fans rallied together on Strait's Twitter and Facebook pages encouraging local country radio to meet the challenge and spin the record. It appears their efforts have paid off as "Give It All We Got Tonight" is the fastest certified gold single of Strait's career and currently sits in the top 15 on the country radio charts. It is the first single from his forthcoming album, due for release in late spring.
As a tribute to Strait's incredible career that includes more No. 1 singles than any artist in history, in any genre, fellow country music artists including Oklahoma native Vince Gill, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Josh Turner, Darius Rucker, among others, have joined the "Sixty For Sixty" movement, posting tributes to Strait on YouTube.
By visiting www.sixtyforsixty.com, fans can learn how they can help the movement using Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The website will continuously update as more artists, celebrities, and fans join this movement for "King George."
With more than 68 million albums sold, Strait has influenced and inspired country music, fellow artists and fans for more than 32 years. His current two-year final U.S. tour, "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour," recently debuted in the No. 1 slot of Pollstar's "Concert Pulse," topping Justin Bieber, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Dave Matthews Band, and The Who. So far, the Texas troubadour has sold out 16 venues on the 2013 leg of "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour" within minutes, including record-breaking attendance figures in Knoxville, Tenn., Lexington, Ky., and in upcoming San Antonio and Houston markets.

Things are good . How are things across the pond?
yep, yep. all is well - just bloody cold hopefully you've been getting more sun than we have.
Oh, it's been bloody cold here too hehe
Actually, I make you right. (I've been hearing about places like New York, etc.)
I must tell you this; apparently there's a place in America (I'm not sure what state) that is actually called Hell- and there was the most wonderful headline in the papers over here, that showed a picture of the place, covered in snow and ice, and the title was (something like) 'Hell has officially frozen over!' ( I had to save it just for proof!)

Spinal decompression exercises are the mainstay of the Sarah Key Method lower back at home workout. And don't be confused here: it doesn't matter what the diagnosis – all spinal conditions benefit from a gentle daily spinal decompression regime in order to turn the tables on a back's steady decline.
If I explain first why our backs get so painful you will understand why these exercises are so essential.
Our discs contain fluid - and when we sit or stand for lengthy periods during the day it gets squeezed out. That, in a nutshell, is what causes lower discs to start degenerating - and in some instances becoming painful. Indolent lifestyles and sedentary occupations usually mean that fluid expressed from our discs by day is not getting back easily enough by night. In other words, the fluid content of our discs goes into incremental steady decline.
The back problems intensify as the sustained compression of our discs (as we sit slumped at our computers or carrying out other sedentary, minimal movement tasks) gradually smothers their metabolic life. The lumbar discs in particular, gradually become too sleepy to carry out normal maintenance and repairs, with the result that they – sooner than any other structure in our body – are the first to start breaking down. Our muscles stiffen up too, as they try to protect the sore bits, and this too can be a source of back pain.
You will see in the comprehensive section on the BackBlock and also on the section on Traction that the Sarah Key spinal decompression exercises are better described as 'pressure change therapy' (PCT) because that is exactly what they are. This spinal decompression routine is not just about pulling the spine apart, effective as this is to a limited degree.
The PCT model also involves loading the lumbar spinal segments in a controlled way (by the knees rocking and reverse curl ups see also 'The Best Abs Exercises') and alternating this with passive hyperextension over the BackBlock to create distraction.
The variation in pressures stimulates the discs internally which is critical for geeing up their metabolic rate and the repair processes. The alternating pressures also help move fluid around inside the discs. Most importantly of all, they help squidge stale fluids out and suck fresh ones in to the lumbar discs. And this is vital for boosting their nutrition and day-to-day maintenance.

Virgen De Copacabana Group
Hilaria is the group president and has been a merchant for several years because she needs to help her husband meet household expenses. She started out selling clothing and other products; now, she only sells cheese. On weekends, she goes to a part of Lima known as Huarochiri to buy the cheese for her discerning customers. This business has been very satisfying for her in that she has been able to get to know this place and look for better prices so that she can earn higher profits.
The group treasurer is Jorge. He sells tubers in one of Huaycan's markets. He has been in this line of work for 13 years and it has allowed him to support his three children, who are still school-aged. Jorge is happy with the loan and is very responsible and strict with the group.
Edith is a member who, with much effort and with help from her husband, was able to purchase a mototaxi (three-wheel vehicle used to transport passengers and cargo). Because she must care for her young daughter, she leases the mototaxi to a trustworthy person. She provides public transportation services during weekends to earn extra income for her home.
The entire group appreciates the loans granted by KIVA and EDAPROSPO.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Julia Blackwood - Heroes' Loft
Julia watched Kiba as he talked, acknowledging him, making sure he could tell she was listening. However, she did not respond until he was finally done... Perhaps it was because she simply did not interupt, but when she /did/ respond all he got was a thoughtful "Huh...". She didn't know what to say! She was tempted to ask him why he thought he could communicate with her telepathically, but it seemed pretty heavily implied he didn't know. They were on the same page. He didn't know more than she did. Also, they were approaching Shadoan. The boy greeted them both and Julia greeted him in turn with an ever so friendly smile.
That's okay, Shadoan! We'll just become one big love square~
"Hey..! We both offered to take the night shift for tonight. Jack's off doing something on his own... Would you mind taking the morning shift?" she asked, rather straight up. She was silently thinking of other things, Kiba related things. That wasn't to say she was dismissive. She just didn't beat around the bush, at least not this time. Though, she couldn't help but silently take note that Shadoan was foraging for his own dinner instead of taking advantage of the facilities. It wasn't her style personally. She tended to carry around a bit of food and drink in her purse. What better place than
that am I right?

Harlem's Little Blackbird
by Renee Watson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was a great example of the biography genre, because of the way it covered the major events that occurred in Florence Mills life. I was amazed at how much she had to overcome and the amazing things she did to further civil rights. A truly talented woman. I originally picked up this title because of the title and illustrations. Intrigued, I wanted to learn more and found myself immersed in Mills story and wanting to learn more about the woman herself. Very well depicted story and beautifully illustrated. Media: Mixed Media
This was a very cute biography of Florence Mills, a singer and dancer during the Harlem Renaissance who came from almost nothing. It's a very inspirational story about sticking to your dreams and I enjoyed it a lot, especially since I had never heard of her before. I wish I could hear her music, but we find out during the author's note that her music was never recorded.
The illustrations were very cute and colorful, which I think will appeal to children very nicely. The reading level is younger elementary students, but this is a good book for all ages. Another great book for a history lesson, especially for learning about the Harlem Renaissance, segregation or biographies.
A little girl, coming from almost nothing, knew from a young age that her strongest powers were in her vocals. Following Florence's journey to stardom, one automatically wants to dance and sing along (even without hearing her voice). Standing up against racist times, Florence helped pave the way for other talented souls through her tenacity. With a song like a bird, nobody could resist the allure of her ballad. Touching the hearts of over a hundred thousand people through her enchanting voice, the tale of her influence lives on.
I really enjoyed this biography. The main message of this story is to inform students of the great singer and dancer Florence Mills and to teach them to never give up on your dreams. There were several things I liked about this book. First, I liked the use of repetition in the story. The story repeated the phrase, "If my voice." This makes shared reading fun and easier for the kids to join in. I also thought the book had a well developed plot. The book spent a little time in each age era from a young child to when she was old and could no longer sing. It was very easy to follow and not confusing. Lastly, I enjoyed the concept of the book. Children always say they want to be a dancer or professional athlete etc when they grow up. In this story they were able to see a young girl stick with her dreams and actually grow up to be the dancer and singer she wanted to despite what everyone else told her.
Florence Mills, or Harlem's Little Blackbird, found singing and music both comforting and uplifting. Soon, people began to notice her amazing talent and she would go on to perform in local venues as well as venues around the world. Her generosity and talent would make her a role model, and her "cry" for equal rights would be heard by everyone, and everyone loved her.
The author's note informs readers that her voice was never recorded and her performances were never filmed. But her legacy leaves on due to the impact she left behind.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375869735, Hardcover)Zora and Langston. Billie and Bessie. Eubie and Duke. If the Harlem Renaissance had a court, they were its kings and queens. But there were other, lesser known individuals whose contributions were just as impactful, such as Florence Mills. Born to parents who were former-slaves Florence knew early on that she loved to sing. And that people really responded to her sweet, bird-like voice. Her dancing and singing catapulted her all the way to the stages of 1920s Broadway where she inspired songs and even entire plays! Yet with all this success, she knew firsthand how bigotry shaped her world. And when she was offered the role of a lifetime from Ziegfeld himself, she chose to support all-black musicals instead.
Fans of When Marian Sang and Ella Fitzgerald: The Tale of a Vocal Virtuosa will jump at the chance to discover another talented performer whose voice transcended and transformed the circumstances society placed on her.

A tribute to lesser-known Harlem Renaissance performer Florence Mills includes coverage of her youth as a child of former slaves, her singing and dancing performances that inspired songs and entire plays, and the struggles with racism that prompted her advocacy of all-black theater and musicals.… (more)

Mar 10 2009Obama Reverses Stem Cell Research Policy
Obama, in a pow-pow-power move, signed an executive order (I need a pad of those) yesterday that has " cleared the way for a significant increase in federal dollars for embryonic stem cell research". Now I don't even know what that means, but I do want to clone my dog. And also, grow a tail.
"Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident," Obama declared.
Obama signed the executive order on the divisive stem cell issue and a memo addressing what he called scientific integrity before an East Room audience packed with scientists. He laced his remarks with several jabs at the way science was handled by former President George W. Bush.
"Promoting science isn't just about providing resources, it is also about protecting free and open inquiry," Obama said. "It is about letting scientists like those here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology."
Well rooty tooty, fresh and fruity! Maybe scientists will finally be able to unlock the secret of my seductive pheromones. Here -- lick my armpit. You taste that? It's called gin, and I sweat it. You ever made love to a man that smells like a pine tree? It's coniferous.

Thanks to Ryan, who is a huge proponent of both twig and branch cell research.

@ 2-4
economy recycles every 49- 50 years or so
clone the vampires
this is meant to be a bigger recession then 1929 thou :P
@1 - @3 Supreme fail, irreversible firstardation.
...nobody's listening
yes, and possibly a worldwide currency at the end of it
@4, It's because he's trying to distract us by giving us 'hope' and 'change' in all the places that don't matter.
F.U.C.K. you Obama.
6- Moron. Start reading and stop regurgitating the scare tactics.
Why the F*CK is this political crap here? Or are you attempting to qualify this as "awesome"? Psh.
*physically sitting on hands and biting tongue to pre-empt politcal rant*
It's about time. I need a new set of lungs and a new heart. Hurry up science. I don't have all decade.
I don't come to this website to read political debates...I come here to read about worthless stupid products that the Japanese create, to read about the inevitable destruction of man kind at the hands of our robot brethren, to read about some weird bra someone created, or a watch that you can't possibly tell time off of.
Please Mr. Geekologie writer, next time you receive or find an article such as this..pass it by and post some breasts.
@12 I second that, best closing suggestion I've heard all week.
Oops you used a bad word, I tried to change it but it still didn't work, anyway I was saying I don't support O S A M A I mean the new pres. He shouldn't waste other people's money.
Actually scientists have been able to research stem cells since it was discovered, and they have been doing so for years.
Obama just allowed the goverment to give funding to companies to help them research.
yay for science
Agree with #12.
Plus this is fake. photoshop, but an older copy. The shadows are all wrong. They just spliced parts of what nixon did with pictures of some sperm/egg dance party. Hell... that might be a mspaint job.
I don't think anybody misses Spam Artist :)
"GW, I think 'it' worked"
Obama is an idiot.. A complete idiot
Kup, LSDiesel, softlicious, apparently didn't get the memo that we're not calling Obama Osama anymore. Now we're calling him a libtardsocialistcommunistradicalmarxistfascist. Get with the times morons.
Are you saying that the ability to cure certain diseases is unnecessary? This is the future of medicine.
Timbo how long did it take you figure out Dubya was not too bright.? Seven years. Idiot
Kup are you serious? Osama... That was the best you could do. DUMB@SS
yaaay Obama clones! how fun...
Finally, now they can actually start spinal treatments for para and quadrapalegics to get them walking again!
I think that is the first time I've seen you post something that didn't make me want to set you on fire. Good job!
He has some cajones for going against the religious right.
27 - Right, because in this post-Bush-era political climate, it MUST take balls to go against the RR. *eye roll*
@27-isnt science a religion.
@22 you're an idiot too
" Hey guys! I just got some babies to
Murder!! Woohoo let's gooooo!!!"
Hey, maybe if you guys keep yelling "change" at the top of your lungs, like you did during the election, there will be some.
maybe not.
@The Right Wing Agenda
Get the sand out of your collective vaginas. I'd gladly dissect a fetus that was on its way to the medical incinerator so I can walk again. At least that fetus got more out of its existence than becoming a puff of smoke.
Are you aware that stem cells are sourced from many places other than aborted fetuses?
There are Embryonic Stem Cells, Umbilical Cord Stem Cells, Placenta Derived Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cells.
Can you please link me to your dead fetus recycling facility? What do you do with em anyway?
"Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident," Obama declared.
Neither does life.
Because every pregnancy had to have been done on purpose, right!
The ban that was lifted had never banned obtaining stem cells from the sources you mentioned. It banned obtaining them from inseminated eggs and fetuses.
Penicillin wasn't planned, I would say it is now a medical miracle. Doesn't mean it was an accident. All depends on what you think an accident is....
Lol @ calling a baby "Mommy's little accident"
I think not planning to have a baby when you have sex and then getting pregnant is pretty accidental.
37- Actually, the ban was on federal FUNDING of that procedure; you get 1/3 credit for trying though.
40- You mean participating in an act DESIGNED to create a baby and getting preggers, is an accident? Perhaps in your head, but not in the eyes of nature.
That said; bring on the cure to life threatening diseases through the death of unborn children - seems like we're robbing Peter to pay Paul. But as long as we're using death as birth conrol, we may as well try to do something helpful with it.
~Pro Choice with a Bit of Vomit in Her Mouth.
Wow only 41 comments for a religiously, scientifically, and politically motivated post. You're all slackers and should be ashamed.
PS. Everyone knows dead babies are best with Sweet BABY Ray's.
You mean having sex and NOT wanting to procreate is not something that we typically do? OooooOoooOohhh....
"...and grow a tail." Are you into the furry fandom? Just wondering, and if your wondering about me, the answer is hells yeah, and proud. Oh, and "kup" celebrating second, I must tell you second place is a fancy name for losing. lolz futurama reference.
Hooray! It's so nice that science is back in the White House. It's refreshing that we have a president who doesn't base policy on a 2000 year old fairy tale involving magic and superstition. Perhaps we're finally moving away from Bronze Age thinking and toward scientific enlightenment.
@32, 45 - wholeheartedly Agree
to anyone who doesn't approve.. get off your high horses. science is the first place you turn to in the time of medical need. let it do it's thing.
@45: My thoughts exactly. I just breathed a sigh of relief that we actually have someone with an open mind in a position of power, one who makes logical decisions, not ones based on antiquated superstitions.
Good job America, time to move in the right direction (as in correct, not Right-winged). I salute you Mr. Obama, literally and figuratively.
And for those of you talking about the economy: It's a fcuking recession, get over it. Only those who buy and sell stocks will be able to right this, and it'll happen in due time.
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in NEver Back Down where Max worked nights in a morgue, and turned the morgue into a whorehouse for his own fun and profit.
People here bitching about using the unborn for scientific research while there are babies starving to death all over the world and you spend your time on Geekologie. Its easy to talk the talk right?...........
#49 I'm more worried about those starving babies precious stem cells going to waste than of providing them with food.
One - My tip rules.
Two - This isn't political, it's scientific. The majority of things you read on here have some kind of basis in science if you have yet to notice. Whether it be of anthropological significance, like the recent "vampire" skull, or just some crazy mutation like the octo-girl (posted a while back) which is choc-full of biological significance, it still pertains to science.
The only reason you see this as political is due to the controversy that has enveloped it, and will continue to do so until you realize how monumental this truly is. Also, to the person who told Obama to get effed - is this you: http://www.geekologie.com/2009/03/why_do_terminators_timetravel.php ?
Bam! Now, for all of the ladies here on Geekologie - here's me: http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1320/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1320R-193997.jpg . What I lack in good looks, charm, stamina, sexual prowess, pigment in my hair, etc., I make up for in... Well, I once had a tip on Geekologie. Not all at once, now!
Science stands in the first place in the time of medical need. Waiting for more developments
Oh god, a quick scan of the first 40 comments on this thread made me want to bash my head against a wall. It's on Geekologie because it's related to SCIENCE you idiots. Even if you do read this blog just to see the "girls dressed as anime characters" articles, why would you admit that? Nay, BOAST about being in the bottom IQ percentile of the Geekologie readership?
And yet here you all are, spouting misguided platitudes and you're all absolutely convinced that it should be a political issue because it's been made into one by your born-again egomaniacal ex-prez and his nasty little friends. And then you're whining about your current prez when all he's done is make life easier for a bunch of researchers. Why are you even reading this blog if you're against scientific progress? Ah yeah right - the anime chicks. Screw you guys.
@53 - I'm not against science, but I don't like murder. I also don't like the government to fund projects, I believe in the market economy. Barack Osama or libtardsocialistcommunistradicalmarxistfascist, as he nowdays uses to call himself (@21 - thanks for sharing), anyway libtardsocialistcommunistradicalmarxistfascist is a fücking libtardsocialistcommunistradicalmarxistfascist who is spreading the wealth around and I don't like that. If you know how to cure people who have cancer 100% of the time, then you should get some venture capital behind your project, not federal money. The government isn't supposed to decide which project is viable and deserves money, that's what they did in the sovjets and it's plain wrong. I think all democrats should go live in Cuba or perhaps Sweden, go to Sweden u stupid democrat!
Present..... ummmMmm.. Ahhhh.. You see...... Umm...... WHERE THE HELL IS MY TELEPROMPTER?!?!?!?!
@29 No science isn't a religion. One runs on facts, the other blind, willful ignorance
@30 You're the moron. The potential for human life isn't human life. How many sperm go unused every hour you masturbate? You should be tried for genocide, you mass murderer.
@35 Yes it does.
@ the rest of you. If you were dying of a horrible disease I bet none of you would turn down any cure developed from stem cells, hypocrites.
LIBERALS and
There has never ever been a ban on researching stem cells or using embryos to use as testing stem cells.
Bush didn't ban research on stem cells.
Obama didn't lift a ban on research.
Obama just allowed the government to give grants to companies that are researching stem cells.
There are hundreds of companies that have been researching stem cells since it was possible. They would just get private funding and not use government money.
No wonder the Republicans lost. Judging from these comments, they're stupid.
58- See comment #41. Thank you, have a great day!
60- See comment #15. Thank you, have a great day!
61 - You win this time...
@55: Your way failed miserably, it's our turn now...watch and see how it's done correctly.
It kind of surprised me seeing a political statement on Geekologies. I cant recall when (if) that happened the last time. As Count Orlock said, I don't come for political comments I come to read about the gamer/tech geek sub-culture. I have plenty of other websites to stress about this kind of stuff.
But since you opened the Pandora's box - embryonic stem cell research is worthless and ideologically driven. The reason government wants to put money in it is because the private sector wont - Adult stem cells have given us 70 breakthroughs. Embryonic stem cells? ZERO. 70 to 0. Dont waste your money.
Never mind the fact that you are killing people to perform this research. On the moral rung of evil the current US government would be looking UP at the NAZIS. You can't never create life from death.
@everyone- mass FAIL.
The truth is nobody really cares what you think. So shut it.

Jason Terry's homecoming is the main story of the evening. He had some words today about that return to his former team
Speaking during an interview on Boston sports radio WEEI (93.7 FM), Terry talked about his homecoming, the Celtics getting ripped by coach Doc Rivers at shootaround on Friday, and his growing disdain for the Miami Heat.
As for being back in Dallas, Terry offered: "I'm going to be fired up, man. This is a big game for us, not only for me, but for our team. We dropped one in New Orleans; definitely shouldn't have lost to them. We've got to get back and get things rolling."
Asked if it will be emotional, Terry said not to expect tears, just smiles and hugs for the former teammates he won a title with. But his main priority is getting Boston back on track.
"My focus is on winning this game," said Terry. "I'm not going to get caught up in the emotional things tonight, just because I know how important it is for us to get the win tonight." (Via Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston)
Should be a fun reception for JT. Other bad news of note for Boston. Shawn Marion is back in lineup tonight after missing eight games due to injury. He should make a bad rebounding situation worse for Boston.
Prediction: Mavericks 96, Celtics 89
