thanksgiving word search
Cyber Monday, the first Monday after Thanksgiving, has traditionally marked the start of the online holiday shopping period, the most important time of the year for Amazon and eBay. Amazon, which launched its Black Friday deals page earlier this week, is expected to set the pace.
"Amazon has doing tremendously well all year and continues to show strong double-digit growth," Patti Freeman-Evans, research director at Forrester, told TheStreet. "We expect to continue to see them do well."
During the third quarter, even as U.S. consumers emerged bleary-eyed from the recession, Amazon still reported sales of $5.45-billion, an increase of 28% on the same period in 2008.
Over the last few years the Seattle-based firm has earned a reputation for customer service, efficient shipping and a highly navigable Web site, factors that should help lure users from traditional retailers this holiday season.
The National Retail Federation (NRF), for example, has forecast a 1 per cent year-over-year decline in overall sales this holiday season, as ongoing uncertainty about job security and housing takes its toll on consumer confidence.
The Internet, however, will be retail's shining light. In another survey, the NRF found that almost half of online retailers expect their holiday sales to increase at 15 per cent over last year, with a third predicting up to 14 per cent growth. Tellingly, just one in five online retailers expects sales to flatten or decline.
Forrester forecasts online retail sales of $44.7-billion between November and December, an 8 per cent increase on the same period last year. This figure includes Amazon's sales, but not consumer-to-consumer businesses such as eBay, which recently gave a disappointing holiday forecast.
Amazon is nonetheless feeling the analyst love. Merrill/BofA, for example, recently increased its Amazon numbers through 2011, citing a continued shift toward online shopping this holiday season. The analyst firm gave the retailer a buy rating and raised the company's price target to $140.
"I think [this holiday season] is going to be huge for Amazon," Candace Corlett, president of WSL Strategic Retail told TheStreet, pointing to her firm's quarterly consumer surveys. "We're seeing more and more upper-middle income people and the affluent turning to the Internet for terrific deals."

Cyber Monday 2009: Online deals stretched out by stores
Filed under: News | By: Peter Chubb
Posted on: November 24, 2009 | No Comments
Retailers are not only thinking about Black Friday 2009 and Cyber Monday 2009, they know that they need to look well beyond that if they ever hope to claw some profits back by the end of the year. Once retailers have got this busy weekend out of the way, they then need to plan the rest of the holiday season.
All the usual websites will run online sales on November 30, Cyber Monday, such as Walmart, Target and Toys R Us. J.C. Penny will carry on their sales through to Tuesday and Wal-Mart will have new offers starting on December 4.
More retailers will be offering deals on Cyber Monday, up from last year but no by much. Not only will these online retailers offer money off, but also free shipping as well. However, according to a source from AP we will not see as many discounts online as we did last year.
This could have a huge effect on profits; shoppers will only purchase something on Cyber Monday if they think they are getting a great deal. Retailers know that they need to keep shoppers coming back after these big one day events, so will need to come up with offers throughout December.
There are mixed feelings about Cyber Monday, with many believing that it will take the place of Black Friday. However, we do not think that that will ever happen, if anything, it will be Cyber Monday that ends.

katie couric dancing
ELEANOR: Don't worry, Grace. Marvin will fill you in on all that stuff.
GRACE: That's right, Eleanor. Who's Marvin?
LEO: That'd be me.
GRACE: Your name is Marvin?
LEO: Yeah, yeah. People always call me "Leo"... 'cause my name's Marvin.
JACK: [LAUGHS WITH A MOUTHFUL OF CAKE] You just married a guy, and you don't even know his name? Silly.
KAREN: It's okay, honey. He's been calling you "Grace" this whole time.
GRACE: I don't know your name?
LEO: Come on, my first wife didn't have a problem with that. Huh? [LAUGHS]
GRACE: You were married before?!
LEO: Okay, wrong time to try that joke. [QUIETLY] Are you okay, baby?
GRACE: Um, no, I'm-- Excuse me. [GRACE EXITS.]
LEO: Excuse me. [LEO EXITS AFTER HER.]
BOBBI: I knew she'd cock it up.
[GRACE GETS IN THE ELEVATOR. LEO FOLLOWS HER IN.]
LEO: Where are you going? You're blowin' this way out of proportion.
GRACE: [SIGHS] You're like a stranger to me... Marvin. I might as well have married my Israeli pen pal from when I was 15 who sent me love letters on Hello Kitty stationary.
LEO: Actually over there it'd be Shalom Kitty.
GRACE: [UPSET] Please don't joke right now. That was weird up there. I don't even know when your birthday is.
LEO: Okay, you wanna know some stuff about me? Here you go. I believe when I hold my breath, the guy on TV's going to make the basket. I'm in a Doors cover band, consisting entirely of surgeons called "The Operating Room Doors." And my deepest, darkest secret is that I don't like any food with raisins in it, but I do like raisins.
GRACE: See, we already have a problem. I love raisins. In everything! I even went to see A Raisin in the Sun because I thought there'd be raisins in it.
LEO: Grace, we have a whole lifetime to get to know each other, baby.
GRACE: I don't know. I don't know. I just wish that there was some way that we could be sure we were doing the right thing, you know. Just... a sign, something.
[THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN. KATIE COURIC IS WAITING TO GET ON.]
GRACE: Katie? Hi!
KATIE: [UNDER HER BREATH] Crap. [TO GRACE AND LEO] Hi! Thanks for watching! Do you have your own pens?
GRACE: No, no, no. It's Grace and Leo. Remember, from the other day in the park. We got married because of you.
LEO: Actually I got a colonoscopy because of you too. Not on the same day, though. And not in the park.
KATIE: Eee, the wedding. Sorry about that.
GRACE: What? What do you mean?
KATIE: No one called you? Ooh, awkward. We're scrapping the whole wedding segment, because the judge performing the ceremony wasn't licensed in New York. So all those marriages are invalid. Oops! Last time I use Tom Brokaw's nephew as my fact checker.
[KATIE GETS IN THE ELEVATOR AND THE DOORS CLOSE.]
GRACE: I guess I wanted a sign, and I think I got it. We're not married.
[GRACE WALKS AWAY. LEO STOPS HER.]
LEO: Hey, Grace. Grace! Hey, hey, hey. We'll go to city hall tomorrow. We'll do it all over again.
GRACE: I don't know that I can.
LEO: Why? Why not? What's changed?
GRACE: Everything has changed. I mean, the first time I said yes, it was impulsive and romantic and to a guy named Leo. And now-- [SIGHS] We know nothing about each other.
LEO: I knew everything I needed to know about you the first time I held your hand. Grace, we're already married. The rest is paperwork.
GRACE: How can you be so sure?
LEO: Because when it's right, you just know. You remember Tuesday? We woke up. I said, "Morning, wife." You said, "Hello, husband." Remember that? Remember how great that was? I want every day to be Tuesday.
GRACE: Every day can't be Tuesday. Today's Saturday, so it can't be Tuesday. Monday can't be Tuesday. Tuesday can't-- Well, Tuesday can, but Wednesday definitely can't be Tues--
LEO: Listen, listen, listen. Just come up with me. And I promise you everything is going to be fine. Please.
GRACE: I can't. I need time. I'm sorry.
[GRACE WALKS AWAY.]
[JACK AND KAREN ARE SITTING AT A TABLE, ENJOYING CAKE.]
KAREN: That was wild, wasn't it, Jackie? The way Grace just kind of spooked and ran off. Kind of like Rosie whenever I fire my gun in her room just as she's falling asleep.
JACK: Yeah, she's really upset. I've never seen Grace actually run from a cake.
KAREN: No.
[LEO ENTERS AND TAKES THE STAGE.]
LEO: Um, hi, everyone. I-I have a little bit of an announcement to make. Grace and I ran into Katie Couric in the lobby--
EVERYBODY: Oh!
LEO: And she said that we weren't really married.
EVERYBODY: Aw!
LEO: Turns out the judge that married us wasn't really legit, so... Anyway, we have this place till midnight, so stick around, you know. There's cake, there's booze, there's dancing. Well, have fun.
WILL: Leo, hey. I--I'm sorry. You okay?
LEO: I'm about as good as Bill Buckner of the '86 Red Sox.
WILL: Ooh, ouch. I'm sorry.
LEO: Do you even know what that means?
WILL: No, but anybody that's got 43 pairs of red socks obviously had issues. Where's Grace?
LEO: She took off. She--she was pretty freaked out. Can I borrow your phone, man? I think I need to call her.
GRACE: Uh, Leo, I think you might wanna give her some time right now. I know Grace. She's not like you. She's not impulsive. She once bought Impulse perfume and then returned it. That's why this whole getting married in the park thing all seemed so weird to me.
LEO: Yeah, well, I guess I should send everyone home.
[WILL SITS DOWN WITH KAREN AND JACK. LEO GETS ON THE STAGE AGAIN.]
LEO: Hi, it's me again. Listen, you're not going to like what you're about to hear.
GRACE: [ENTERING, HIGH-PITCHED OFF-KEY SINGING] Please don't let this feeling end, it not might come again, and I want to remember.
WILL: [TO KAREN] To be fair, he did say we wouldn't like what we were about to hear. [KAREN NODS.]
LEO: I thought you needed time to think.
GRACE: I did. And I realized I want today to be Tuesday.
[LEO AND GRACE KISS.]
KAREN: It's Tuesday? How long have I been out?
GRACE: Okay. So our first wedding didn't take. But we're havin' another one! And a real one this time. As for all these, ah, these lovely presents, I-I don't really know the protocol. Let's just call them engagement gifts. Bring another one at the wedding.
SCENE IV: The Synagogue
(Guests are arriving... WILL is in the foyer. He takes a skull cap from the basket of kippot and puts it on his head. He moves to the guest book.)
WILL: [TO THE GUESTS] Don't forget to sign the guest book. Okay, who wrote, "If it doesn't work out, call me." That's tacky. Don't forget to sign the guest book.
JACK: [ENTERING] Oh, perfect. I've been looking for this.
[JACK TAKES TWO SKULL CAPS AND PUTS THEM UNDER HIS TUX-COAT AS SHOULDER PADS.]
WILL: That's a little inappropriate!
JACK: Please. This is inappropriate? How about inviting people to watch a man and woman get married? Look how good it makes my shoulders look.
[WILL PULLS HIS OFF AND PUTS IT IN UNDER HIS COAT AND GRABS ANOTHER ONE
JACK: Well, Will. Congratulations. I think you've done a fantastic job at planning this wedding. I take my pants off to you.
WILL: You've gotta be kidding me. The photographer's late. Four people who RSVP'd "no" just arrived with dates. And the cake shows up with two grooms on it. Is the whole city gay?
JACK: Not yet. [WITH ENGLISH ACCENT] But if all goes as planned, come Monday morning... [WRINGS HIS HANDS WITH AN EVIL LAUGH] Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
WILL: And look at these boutonnieres. Dead.
JACK: They're fine.
WILL: They're dead, my friend. They just made contact with John Edward.
WILL: [YELLING AT A GUEST] Hey, hey, hey! Sign that guest book!
JACK: Lady, you're a wreck!
[JACK SLAPS WILL ACROSS THE FACE.]
JACK: But it's understandable. Today's a big day for you. You're not just losing a best friend, you're also losing a hag.
WILL: She's not my hag, okay? She's the most important person in my life, who used to be in love with me, and who for the last 15 years has never left my side. [VOICE BREAKING] She's been a hell of a hag.
[JOE AND LARRY ENTER.]
LARRY: Hey, Will.
WILL: Hey.
[LARRY HUGS WILL.]
LARRY: Hey. Are you okay?
WILL: Sure, why wouldn't I be?
LARRY: 'Cause you're losing your girl. You're single again.
JOE: Boy, I miss those days...
LARRY: That can be arranged!
JOE: I'm joking! I was joking.
[JOE HEADS IN.]
LARRY: [QUIETLY TO WILL] But if you know anyone.
GRACE: That's right, Eleanor. Who's Marvin?
LEO: That'd be me.
GRACE: Your name is Marvin?
LEO: Yeah, yeah. People always call me "Leo"... 'cause my name's Marvin.

sammy sosa face change
Sammy Sosa will be on Univision’s Tony Dandrades on “Primer Impacto” a two part interview. The first part will be aired on Tuesday.
When it was asked from Sammy Sosa “What’s going on with your skin?” he replied that he is using cream just to keep his skin smooth and soft and he uses that cream before going to bed. He spent lot of time in sun when he was playing for Chicago. Tomorrow he will be 41 year old. He says that he is surprised with the controversy this has caused.Sammy Sosa face before and after is hot. Sammy Sosa face before and after shows Sammy Sosa before and after he bleached his skin. You heard me right – the aspiring Baseball-Hall-of-Famer admittedly bleached his skin.
Sammy Sosa applied a cream that was supposed to soften his skin. Instead, it lightened his skin several shades. The change of his face before and after spurned the internet rumor mill. People started to wonder if Sammy Sosa was the next Michael Jackson.
You have to give it to the retired baseball player – he came right out and admitted what he did. He didn’t blame his lightened complexion on an illness, and he didn’t ignore the fact that everyone was talking about his skin tone. He admitted that he used a cream, and that the cream bleached his face.
I don’t understand why Sammy Sosa’s before and after pictures are so controversial. Light skinned people do plenty of things to make their skin appear darker. They lie in tanning beds and wear lotions that temporarily darken the skin. However, whenever a darker skinned person lightens their skin, it’s a controversy.
Enough with the double standard already! Sammy Sosa’s face before and after has the same level of handsomeness. He’s still a nice looking guy – he’s just a little lighter.

Katt Williams Arrested for Burglary | Katt Williams Mug Shot | Katt Williams Arrested | Katt Williams | Kat Williams | Katt Williams Burglary | Katt Williams Arrested for Trespassing | Kat Williams Arrested
Katt Williams,36,comedian known to entertain legions of fans across America for his standup routines and movie roles.
Williams has been taken into custody on charges of burglary and trespassing,on Sunday night 8th November 2009, in an Atlanta jail.
Major James Yarbrough,Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, says, homeowner in the Southwest Atlanta suburb called authorities around 9 p.m.on Sunday to report the comedian gained entry by breaking into the residence and stealing various items including jewelry.Comedian Katt Williams was arrested on burglary and criminal trespass charges in a west Georgia community Sunday night, according to a court official.
Celebrity actor Comedian Katt Williams has been arrested and thrown in the slammer in Georgia on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing. A deputy at the jail in Coweta County, southwest of Atlanta, confirmed Williams was being held there and that a magistrate was expected to set bond at an arraignment this afternoon.
Williams, 38, smiled broadly while posing for a mug shot photo at the Coweta County, Georgia, jail.
His first court appearance is set for 4 p.m. ET Monday, where a magistrate will decide if Williams is eligible for bond, said Deborah Matthews, a spokeswoman with the Coweta County Magistrate Court.
Everyone has a documentary these days… Deceased Wu-Tang rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s docu-film, Dirty, will host the NY Premiere tomorrow in Harlem. The film is said to celebrate the many characters of Ol’ Dirty and portray the man within the MC, Russell Jones.
However,Williams’s lawyer told CNN that the comic actor was a guest – not a burglar.

mad men season finale
mad men season finale
mad men season finaleDon tells Bert Cooper about the buyout. Here is an exclusive look at Cooper’s reaction:
Indeed, the Titanic script would come in handy. Only that whole “never let go” advice would have been lost on Don. He wants to buy McCann out. And for the first time ever, we see some real ~emotion~ coming out of Draper! He’s mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore! He’s TAKING CHARGE. And there’s only one person who’s going to be by his side on this matter.
Roger Sterling.
Oh, sure, he’s coquettish at first. But Roger’s got the Lucky Strike account that’s keeping them afloat. Bert tells Roger to get on board. Don locks him into his steely-eyed tractor beam. And it seems these two are back in business.
Don comes home to find Betty in her usual stern mood as of late. She puts down the brass balls she’s been polishing for the last few weeks and asks Don to sit down. Her wasp wings spread out like a Phoenix rising from the ashes and she tells Don to find a divorce lawyer, as she has found her own. And in the immortal words of Sir Martin Lawrence:
Remember the Mad Men poster with the water rising up Don’s legs? (If not, see the first photo used in this post.) Well, it’s all been leading up to this. He tries to talk her out of it. She’s had a tough couple of weeks, he insists. But that ain’t it, Donny boy. She’s had a tough year. Seriously, though, how would you feel if you just had a baby and spent the last 5 months m-bating on a fainting couch fantasizing about a less handsome version of your husband while the man you married was putting it in your kid’s teacher? Pretty divorcy, right? Right.
Roger and Don steep some tea and ask to speak with Pryce. They offer to buy back the company for the purchase price plus 12 percent. He tells them that is just not possible and leaves. The men are still bound up by their contracts, i.e. screwed.
Betty and Henry meet with their divorce lawyer, who assumes, as we all have, that these two have had plenty of intercourse with each other’s private parts. He tells them to go to Reno for 6 weeks, establish residency, and make the divorce as easy as possible. But how much money does she want? Isn’t the rule half? Henry assures Betty he will take care of her and the three kids. It’s here we realize… holy… mother… of… God… in 6 weeks…
DON DRAPER WILL BE SINGLE.
Pryce calls Mr. Sheffield in London, who tells him that PPL is also being sold. This comes as a shock. Lane is, in many ways, his own neglected wife. And as we know, this episode is all about reclaiming. Reclaiming independence. Or, in Pryce’s case, his balls back.
HOBO FLASHBACK #2: Dick’s Mom is all “We’re poor!”, and his Dad’s all “Fine! I’ll sell it! And take it to Chicago tonight!” He’s drunk. He goes to untie his horse, as dick takes a swig from a giant jug. Lightning strikes, and Dick’s father gets kicked in the face by a horse. Hard. Like, has a horseshoe shaped cut and everything. He’s dead. Lesson learned: If you give in, you will get kicked in the face by a horse. And Don? He’s not gonna settle for that. No horse is going to kick DON F**KING DRAPER in the FACE. Emergency meeting time!
The plan: After some light bickering, Don proposes that Pryce fires them. Fire them to get out of their godforsaken contracts. But why should he? Hellewwww Pryce is the whipping boy of PPL. Don tells him they’ll put his name on the door if he goes through with it. He’ll finally be a man! It’s like his Biz Mitzvah. But if they’re going to start their own firm, they’ll need to pillage Sterling Cooper for all the necessary materials and employees.
It is here Mad Men turns into a veritable Jerry Maguire. I half expected Don to walk out of the office holding a goldfish over his head while Peggy pops a Lemonhead into her mouth, grabs her travel mug, and drives him to the airport. If only there was a memo…
Wait, there is one. Office is closed for the weekend. Pillaging time! Friday, December 13, 1963: Four guys became ballers. And the scramble begins: Get Pete on the line! Peggy, in Don’s office!
Now, you know Peggy has a newfound confidence because she’s sleeping with Duck. She doesn’t need Don, or his new company, or his attitude. And for the first time this season, we fall in love with Peggy again. There are so many balls poppin’ out all over the place it’s beginning to get hard to concentrate. First Kennedy gets shot and the next thing you know, women learn how to speak up for themselves! She tells him she doesn’t want to make a career out of being there so Don can “kick her when she fails.” He seems stunned. When did this baller lose his swagger? Oh right: This entire season.
And then there is Pete Campbell. Poor Pete. Rapes a girl, doesn’t get promoted. He’s down on his luck, to be sure, and that flannel robe he’s wearing seems to be the only comfort he has in his life. (On the real, he looks cozy.) Roger and Don want him as part of the new firm. But Pete, he’s a sensitive one. He wants to know if they’ve talked… (thin lipped delivery) to Ken? They haven’t. He warms up, but insists he gets paid a compliment before he agrees, because he’s a fancy lady from the 1700s. He wants in as partner, and it seems Roger is impressed. That little smile of his is so telling, isn’t it? Also, when did Roger become the best character on Mad Men?
mad men season finaleDon tells Bert Cooper about the buyout. Here is an exclusive look at Cooper’s reaction:
Indeed, the Titanic script would come in handy. Only that whole “never let go” advice would have been lost on Don. He wants to buy McCann out. And for the first time ever, we see some real ~emotion~ coming out of Draper! He’s mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore! He’s TAKING CHARGE. And there’s only one person who’s going to be by his side on this matter.
Roger Sterling.
Oh, sure, he’s coquettish at first. But Roger’s got the Lucky Strike account that’s keeping them afloat. Bert tells Roger to get on board. Don locks him into his steely-eyed tractor beam. And it seems these two are back in business.
Don comes home to find Betty in her usual stern mood as of late. She puts down the brass balls she’s been polishing for the last few weeks and asks Don to sit down. Her wasp wings spread out like a Phoenix rising from the ashes and she tells Don to find a divorce lawyer, as she has found her own. And in the immortal words of Sir Martin Lawrence:
Remember the Mad Men poster with the water rising up Don’s legs? (If not, see the first photo used in this post.) Well, it’s all been leading up to this. He tries to talk her out of it. She’s had a tough couple of weeks, he insists. But that ain’t it, Donny boy. She’s had a tough year. Seriously, though, how would you feel if you just had a baby and spent the last 5 months m-bating on a fainting couch fantasizing about a less handsome version of your husband while the man you married was putting it in your kid’s teacher? Pretty divorcy, right? Right.
Roger and Don steep some tea and ask to speak with Pryce. They offer to buy back the company for the purchase price plus 12 percent. He tells them that is just not possible and leaves. The men are still bound up by their contracts, i.e. screwed.
Betty and Henry meet with their divorce lawyer, who assumes, as we all have, that these two have had plenty of intercourse with each other’s private parts. He tells them to go to Reno for 6 weeks, establish residency, and make the divorce as easy as possible. But how much money does she want? Isn’t the rule half? Henry assures Betty he will take care of her and the three kids. It’s here we realize… holy… mother… of… God… in 6 weeks…
DON DRAPER WILL BE SINGLE.
Pryce calls Mr. Sheffield in London, who tells him that PPL is also being sold. This comes as a shock. Lane is, in many ways, his own neglected wife. And as we know, this episode is all about reclaiming. Reclaiming independence. Or, in Pryce’s case, his balls back.

steven tyler quits aerosmith
Was getting a Polish translator for Gen. Jaruzelski proving difficult? Did the emails to the long-dead Comrade Honecker keep bouncing? I mean, I expected this from The Guardian (and boy did they deliver), but I was rather surprised that The New York Times weighed in the Berlin Wall anniversary with this unbelievable nonsense from the Stalinist Slovenian academic Slajov Zizek, who inveighs bravely against the "rightists" in Eastern Europe, the "new anti-Communist scare," and supposedly resurgent "anti-Communist paranoia."
Nothing, alas, on those hideous dictatorships toppled twenty years ago today. No Stasi, no Securitate, no KGB. Not a peep about Lubyanka, Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, or Kolyma. Perhaps on the anniversary of Dachau's liberation, the Times can solicit a piece from that delightfully heterodox historian David Irving. A sample from Zizek:
Where does this resurrection of anti-Communism draw its strength from? Why were the old ghosts resuscitated in nations where many young people don’t even remember the Communist times? The new anti-Communism provides a simple answer to the question: “If capitalism is really so much better than Socialism, why are our lives still miserable?”
Why bother with this piffle (well, I suppose because it is in the New York Times)? And why bother when Cato's Marion Tupy, who grew up in a communist country, has already cut his argument to ribbons?
And yes, Zizek is actually a Stalinist. Writing in The New Republic, critic Adam Kirsch observed that "Under the cover of comedy and hyperbole, in between allusions to movies and video games, [Zizek] is engaged in the rehabilitation of many of the most evil ideas of the last century." And he quotes the great "rock star" of European academia as confirmation: "Better the worst Stalinist terror than the most liberal capitalist democracy." Quite.
In a forthcoming piece to be published elsewhere, I mention Zizek's starry-eyed Stalinism: "If Stalinism was indeed a negative development, [Zizek writes], it was because it was too capitalistic: 'Stalinist ‘totalitarianism’ was the capitalist logic of self-propelling productivity liberated from its capitalist form, which is why it failed: Stalinism was the symptom of capitalism.'" Note the scare quotes around totalitarian, and the utter incoherence of the argument that follows.
Obviously Americans have no interest in hearing the tired bromides of fire-breathing neoliberals and anti-communists; those relics of the Cold War like Havel, Walesa, Laar, or Michnik, who shamefully traded woman's rights and full employment for Coca Cola and the occasional McRib. But it is shameful that, on this day when millions were liberated from the 20th century's most sinister political project, the New York Times thought it clever to hand its opinion page over to a man dedicated to resuscitating the very ideology responsible for their enslavement.

berlin wall anniversary
berlin wall anniversary
The Berlin Wall was erected by the German Democratic Republic(GDR), and encircled the city of West Berlin, separating it from East Germany. The Inner German Border demarcated the border between East and West Germany. This Wall came to symbolize the Iron Curtain which symbolized both the ideological and physical boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of WWII to the end of the Cold War, in 1991. From 1961 and 1989, the Wall stopped emigration into West Germany. On November 9, 1989 the East German government announced that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany.
You got that right Teresa, World leaders past and present will be in Berlin today for the 20th anniversary of the fall of communist repression's most visible symbol: the 112-mile concrete wall that split the city for more than a quarter-century. Conspicuously absent: the president of the United States, Barack Obama. Obama's folks say he's too busy to accept German President Angela Merkel's invitation to attend today's festivities It's pathetic that Obama won't be there...0bama would never celebrate the destruction of communism. He considers it a day of mourning.
This just verifies how arrogant and narcissistic the Kenyan is.

sammy sosa pictures
Some shocking pictures of former slugger Sammy Sosa surfaced after the former Chicago Cubs star was seen at the Latin Grammy Awards.
Sosa’s friend says Sammy is “going through a rejuvenation process for his skin”. She says that women do it all the time. She calls pictures of the change “deceiving” and claims Sosa said “When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.”
While no cause has been concretely established at this time, some fans have speculated that Sosa's rampant steroid use in the '90s and 2000s is behind this.
Many have posited, although they cannot prove it, that steroid use could dramatically increase an individual's likelihood of becoming symptomatic with vitiligo.
Sosa played 18 seasons in the majors, hitting .273 with 609 career home run and 1,667 RBIs. He led the league in home runs in 2000 and 2002, and in RBIs in 1998 and 2001.

hurricane bill projected pathHere is a map and projected path of Tropical Storm Bill 2009 on Hurricane watch. Tropical Storm Bill's projected path was the Gulf but suddenly Claudette Texas let its policy die at the end of May, less than a year after reinsurers paid $1.5 billion in claims related to Hurricane Ike. 17 (UPI) -- Bill became the first hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season Monday, forming about 1160 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands, This storm could lie right in the path of this hurricane and if you live there, I would certainly keep an eye on this storm. The Caribbean Islands and the Tropical Storm Bill could be a long-term threat to the southeastern US coastline in the next week. Bill is expected to reach hurricane strength as it moves Just north of it, a hurricane shelter is under construction. The road will provide a clear and quick path to the shelter when every minute matters. "It's very hard to see a path to 60 votes without two yes votes from Florida's senators," said Jerry Karnas of the Environmental Defense Fund, If it holds to that path, it might miss Florida altogether, yet still would be a threat to the Mid-Atlantic states. Considering Bill is forecast to grow City Manager Bill Yenne says he hopes the city will receive the an extension for hurricane cleanup as other cities have. ???I'm hoping that logic will prevail "We spent a lot of money when we evacuated for Hurricane Gustav in September, and when we came back we didn't have any money to buy books," says Beal

jimmy conway parole 2004
jimmy conway parole 2004He was born James Conway in Bronx, New York as the illegitimate son to Jane Conway, a prostitute who was an immigrant of Anglo-Irish lineage from Dublin, Ireland. The father of James has never been identified. At age two he was placed in a foster home by his mother, where he spent most of his early years in a Roman Catholic orphanage run by nuns, never to see his birth parents again. He was shuttled around various homes and orphanages, where he suffered physical abuse and sexual abuse at the hands of various foster fathers and foster brothers. When he was 13 years old, Burke's foster father died in a car crash—he lost control of the car when he turned around to hit Burke, who was riding in the back seat. The deceased man's widow, who was in the car as well but survived, blamed Burke for the accident and gave him regular beatings until he was taken back into care.
He was finally adopted by the "Burke" family and he took the family name of Burke during this time. Jimmy lived with them in a large wooden boarding house located on Rockaway Beach Boulevard and Ocean Promenade in Rockaway, Queens. His time spent there during the beginning of his adolescence was a time of peace and calm. He remained close to the Burke family visiting his adoptive mother and father each Mother's Day, Christmas and on his adoptive parent's birthdays. On a monthly basis he would send them several thousand dollars in an unmarked envelope as appreciation for their attempt at raising him. It is rumored that he buried a portion of the loot from the 1978 Lufthansa heist which he orchestrated and helped carry out, on the site of his childhood foster home. Except for a quarter of the estimated millions taken in the heist the rest of the gold, silver and currency has never been recovered.
As he approached his teens, Burke began to get in trouble with the law and spent considerable time in jail. In 1949, aged eighteen, he was sentenced to five years in prison for forgery. He passed counterfeit checks for Dominick Cersani. Burke did not act as an informant for the authorities and that helped him gain favor amongst his Mafia contemporaries. Behind bars, he mixed with a number of Mafia members and made many contacts. Being of Irish descent, Burke could not become a full-fledged member of the Mafia, as only Italians were accepted into their ranks. However, they were happy to have associates of any ethnic background so long as they made money and did not cooperate with the authorities. Italian-American mobsters dubbed him "the Irish guinea."
Burke was an immense presence: burly, tall, and with brick-layer arms as result of earlier work as a bricklayer for the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, along with a temper to match. His job as a union bricklayer during the New York City construction boom was short lived and he gave it up to pursue a life of crime. He was known to be very polite and charming, but was a stone-cold killer. Said Henry Hill, "He was a big guy and knew how to handle himself. He looked like a fighter. He had a broken nose and he had a lot of hands. If there was just the littlest amount of trouble, he'd be all over you in a second. He'd grab a guy's tie and slam his chin into the table before the guy knew he was in a war.... Jimmy had a reputation for being wild. He'd whack you."
[edit] "Jimmy the Gent"
Prior to that, It is rumoured that Burke committed a number of murders for the Mafia during the 1950s in addition to many other crimes such as importing cheap untaxed cigarettes and buying even cheaper liquor. He married in 1962 and fathered two daughters, one of whom was Catherine Burke and two sons: Frank James Burke and Jesse James Burke, (named after the famous outlaw brothers of the Old West). Jesse James suffered from a stutter speech impediment and was widely ignored by Jimmy, and left to play in their home's basement filled with stolen toys. Burke is rumored to have murdered and dismembered an ex-boyfriend of his bride because he was being a nuisance. The police found his body cut up in pieces all over the inside of his car.
Burke was a mentor of Thomas DeSimone, Henry Hill and Angelo Sepe, who were all young men in the 1960s. They carried out jobs for Burke, such as selling stolen merchandise. They eventually became part of Jimmy's crew and worked out of South Ozone Park, Queens and East New York, Brooklyn. The pair helped Burke with the hijacking of delivery trucks. According to Hill, Burke would usually give $50 to the drivers of the trucks they stole, as if he were tipping them for the inconvenience, which led to his nickname "Jimmy the Gent".
Corrupt law enforcement officers, bribed by Burke, would tell him about any potential witnesses or informants. As many as 12 or 13 bodies a year would be found tied up, strangled, and shot in the trunks of stolen vehicles abandoned in the parking lots surrounding JFK Airport. Said Henry Hill about Burke: "Jimmy could plant you just as fast as shake your hand. It didn't matter to him. At dinner he could be the nicest guy in the world, but then he could blow you away for dessert."
He owned a bar in South Ozone Park, Queens called Robert's Lounge. It was a favorite hangout of Burke and his crew, and many other mobsters, bookmakers, loan sharks, and other assorted criminals. Burke ran a loan shark and bookmaking operation that was based at the bar, and high stakes poker games in the basement, of which he would receive a cut. Burke also owned a dress factory, also in South Ozone Park, Queens, called Moo Moo Vedda's, which kept him awash in laundered money. Though Burke was not a made member of the mafia, he nonetheless had the respect of a capo in mob circles.
In 1972, Jimmy Burke and Henry Hill were arrested for beating up a man named Gaspar Ciaccio in Tampa, Florida who owed Casey Rosado, a Union boss friend of theirs, a large gambling debt. They were charged with extortion, convicted, and sentenced to ten years in federal prison.
Burke was paroled after six years, then went straight back to crime, as did Hill, who got out around the same time. Hill shortly began trafficking in drugs; Burke was soon involved in this new enterprise, even though the Lucchese crime family — with whom they were associated — did not authorize any of its members to deal in drugs. This Lucchese ban was made because the prison sentences imposed on anyone convicted of drug trafficking were so lengthy that the accused would often become informants in exchange for a lighter sentence. This is exactly what Henry Hill would eventually do.
From a very young age, his mid teens, Burke was a willing hitman for the mafia and would kill anyone who stood in his way. His victims included the children, spouses, and other relatives of his enemies. The FBI believes he was involved in at least 50 murders during his career.
He notably slew nine people following the Lufthansa Heist. After Jimmy Breslin had written a disparaging and accusative article on Paul Vario, Burke strangled the journalist almost to death in front of a bar full of witnesses. He ordered the murder of his best friend, Dominick "Remo" Cersani, who became an informant and helped the New York City Police Department (NYPD) arrest Burke on a truck hijacking charge. Burke had Remo's body buried next to the bocce court behind Robert's Lounge. It was said that whenever Burke played bocce there with friends, he would jokingly say "Hey Remo, how're you doing?"
Burke frequently liked to lock his victims, notably the young children of his victims, in refrigerators. When Burke had a problem collecting money he was owed, and the unfortunate debtor had children, he would pick the child up in his huge arm, open the refrigerator with the other, and put the child inside and would say "if you don't do whatcha supposed to, I'm gonna lock your kid inside the fuckin' refrigerator" (1).
Much later, Burke allegedly attempted to kidnap and possibly hold to ransom, or kill Henry Hill's wife, Karen, and their two children when he suspected Henry of being an informant.
how does david blaine levitate
that he's going to show them how magicians levitate in stage acts. He has the rigging and everything setup (off camera) and performs it for them. In the cutting room, the footage of him rising a foot or so off the ground is spliced with the audience's reaction to his first levitation (the one they were told was real), and voila! you have an amazing television special. Again, this is from what I read online, I just want to drive that home so I don't get hit too hard Some of the other stuff he does is just out there though. I give him massive kudos for the endurance challenges he puts himself through--my idea of an endurance test is seeing how many minutes I can go without a cigarette. And his tricks are definitely fun to watch, even if they're explained or not.
it happened at the world s fair
Elvis Presley (as Mike Edwards) goes to Seattle for their 1962 "World's Fair" (set mainly in Culver City, though). Accompanying the singing pilot is his crop-dusting partner Gary Lockwood (as Danny Burke). Along the way, they pick up cute little Vicky Tiu (as Sue-Lin); and, they agree to take her to the fair, for her uncle. Mr. Presley and Mr. Lockwood succumb to weaknesses for women and gambling, and lose little Miss Tiu. Presley sings ten songs; he ogles shapely women, and falls for one Joan O'Brien (as Diane Warren).
Truly a FAIR film; "It Happened at the World's Fair" is more disappointing in that it does, after all, star Elvis Presley, a man capable of so much more. Two of the ten new songs are worthy: "They Remind Me Too Much of You" is a strongly sung ballad; and, "One Broken Heart for Sale" is a good, albeit medium-paced, rocker. The version of the latter song has an extra verse in the film, but the album version is punchier. Look out for future "Batgirl" Yvonne Craig (Dorothy Johnson) to really bust things up, in an early scene. At the fair, young Kurt Russell kicks Presley in the shins a couple times, after asking him, "Are you drunk?" Not enough happened at the world's fair to justify the length of this movie.

Turning the entire week into a mockery/great big waste of time, the producers voted out Jessie in Big Brother 11 Episode 16. Then Michele won HOH, putting her in the position of actually having to pick a side.
Big Brother is running about 20 minutes behind due to the golf overrun. A live blog will begin as soon as 60 Minutes is over.
We're half way through the season, yet Michele has not made either a friend nor an ally, but in doing so, she has also not made any enemies either. This week, she may well have to make some enemies. Her only somewhat useful offer for an alliance is Chima's women's alliance, which would leave her the opportunity to target the couple or the bully. Since Jessie's gone, though, the easiest thing may be to just keep the momentum the way the producers have forced it to go.
Chima's containing herself. We know that won't last very long.
Jeff says that Jessie and Natalie were walking to the finals unless somebody did something. Next time try winning a challenge for a change or maybe actually playing better if you feel that strongly about it.
Natalie assumes that Michele's going to put her up. Chima is having difficulty believing that because Russell told her that she needs to be medicated and is just as bad as Ronnie said.
Russell wants to try to start over with Michele. That'll last pretty much as long as she's in power, and then he'll flip out at her again.
The three girls who were crying over Jessie's eviction open up his wine bottle. Kevin will just sit there and grin and bear it. Well, not so much grinning as rolling his eyes. Jeff, Jordan, and Russell want no part of this and eat outside. It is a little creepy.
Michele has decided she wants Chima to go home because she's the biggest threat. To the guys. You'd have to be a complete idiot to think Chima's a threat to the women. She wants Russell gone in the worst way, and she's the one pushing the women's alliance because she wants a woman to win. It's entirely possible Michele is a complete idiot, though.
The contestants break into four teams of two for the have/have not competition: Jeff and Jordan, Michele and Russell, Natalie and Chima, and Lydia and Kevin. There you have basically the pairs of the house. Michele has essentially made it so she's stuck with Russell at this point. Good luck to her. It's a gross eating challenge in which they must correctly place casseroles in their correct locations. They will work together as a group to make sure they can all eat every day. Chima's got a sour look on her face the whole time. In the middle of the challenge, she tells Russell not to look at her. They do not win food for Monday but do match for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They will be getting the BBQ grill and hot showers but no steak and lobster dinner.
Russell wants to know if Jordan likes Jeff as a boyfriend. If he lived in Charlotte, maybe. He proposes to her, and she says yes. In like 23 states, it's pretty much official.
Natalie doesn't think Michele would make an enemy in this house if Russell went home. She's right. He has no real allies, and he's attacked everybody at one point or another (then he apologizes when they get the power, and goes right back to attacking them the next weeek). On the other hand, if she targets either side, that whole side will now see her as a target, albeit perhaps less of a target than some other people.

big brother chima evicted
CBS said producers removed the 33-year-old freelance journalist from the voyeuristic reality series for breaking the show's rules. The network also said Simone will not be part of the jury that selects the $500,000 grand prize winner.
"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the 'Big Brother' house for violating the rules," CBS said in a statement released Saturday. "She will not be part of the show's jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."
A CBS spokeswoman did not immediately return messages seeking further comment.
Simone, from West Hollywood, Calif., was last seen on the show conjuring conspiracy theories after her ally, bodybuilder Jessie Godderz, was spontaneously nominated for eviction Thursday because of the "coup d'etat," a power secretly voted on by viewers that was used to overthrow Simone's nominations.
"Looks like me and the producers need to have a little bit of a talk," she said.
Since entering the "Big Brother 11" house last month, Simone has been one of the season's most outspoken houseguests. When she was nominated for eviction during the first week, CBS censored her live last-plea speech, which referenced derogatory terms used by her competitor.
Seven contestants remain on "Big Brother 11."

ma anMa and Pa Kettle live in a falling down shack with 14 of their 15 kids. Tom, the eldest, is away at college. Ma can't remember all of her kids names, and Pa is extremely lazy. Pa enters a contest to supply a slogan for a tobacco company so he can get a new tobacco pouch. They end up winning the grand prize, a new, modern house with many electronic features. My expectations of this film was that it would have more slapstick elements in it, like Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello, but it doesn't. It has gentle humor, most of it stemming from Pa Kettle's "fish out of water" situations, ie a poor country man living in a house with modern conveniences. This film was OK, but I really didn't laugh out loud too many times. More of a gentle type of humor, it just brought smiles to my face. d pa kettle

Kennedy assassination
Cronkite is vividly remembered by many Americans for breaking the news of the death of President Kennedy on Friday, November 22, 1963. Cronkite had been standing at the United Press International wire machine in the CBS newsroom as the bulletin of the President's shooting broke and clamored to get on the air to break the news. However, cameras were not ready for use and Cronkite would be forced to break the news without them while one warmed up.
At 1:40 PM, A "CBS News Bulletin" bumper slide broke into the live broadcast of As the World Turns (ATWT). Over the slide Cronkite began reading:
"Here is a bulletin from CBS News. In Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade in downtown Dallas. The first reports say that President Kennedy has been seriously wounded by this shooting."
A second bulletin arrived as Cronkite was reading the first one, which detailed the severity of President Kennedy's wounds:
"More details just arrived. These details about the same as previously...President Kennedy shot today just as his motorcade left downtown Dallas. Mrs. Kennedy jumped up and grabbed Mr. Kennedy, she called "Oh no!," the motorcade sped on. United Press [International] says that the wounds for President Kennedy perhaps could be fatal. Repeating, a bulletin from CBS News: President Kennedy has been shot by a would-be assassin in Dallas, Texas. Stay tuned to CBS News for further details."
Just before the bulletin cut out, a CBS News staffer was heard saying "Connally too," apparently having just heard the news that Texas Governor John Connally had also been shot while riding in the Presidential limousine with his wife Nellie and Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy.
CBS then rejoined the telecast of As the World Turns during the show's first commercial break. A commercial for Nescafe coffee and a sponsor bumper for the first half of the show that had just completed were then aired, followed by a bumper for the scheduled episode of Route 66 to air that night and a ten second station identification break for the CBS affiliates. Just as ATWT was set to return from break, with show announcer Dan McCullough set to announce the sponsor of the second half of the program, CBS again broke in and was once again forced to use the bulletin bumper slide as the news staff was still waiting for the camera to warm up. In this bulletin Cronkite reported in somewhat greater detail about the assassination attempt, while also breaking the news of Governor Connally's shooting.
"Here is a bulletin from CBS News. Further details on an assassination attempt against President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. President Kennedy was shot as he drove from Dallas Airport to downtown Dallas; Governor Connally of Texas, in the car with him, was also shot. It is reported that three bullets rang out. A Secret Service man has been...was heard to shout from the car, "He's dead." Whether he referred to President Kennedy or not is not yet known. The President, cradled in the arms of his wife Mrs. Kennedy, was carried to an ambulance and the car rushed to Parkland Hospital outside Dallas, the President was taken to an emergency room in the hospital. Other White House officials were in doubt in the corridors of the hospital as to the condition of President Kennedy. Repeating this bulletin: President Kennedy shot while driving in an open car from the airport in Dallas, Texas, to downtown Dallas."
Cronkite then recapped the events as they had happened: that the President and Governor Connally were shot and in the emergency room at Parkland Hospital and no one knew their condition as of yet. He then reminded the viewers that CBS News would continue to provide updates as more information came in.
CBS then decided to return to ATWT, which was now midway through its second segment. The cast had continued to perform live while Cronkite's bulletins broke into the broadcast, apparently unaware of the developing story taking place in Dallas. ATWT then took its second scheduled commercial break. It would be the last anyone would see of the show- or for any normal broadcast television- until Tuesday, November 26.
As he had twice before, Cronkite broke in with an audio-only bulletin accompanied by the (at least for that day) ever-present CBS News Bulletin bumper slide:
"Here is a bulletin from CBS News...President Kennedy has been the victim of an assassin's bullet in Dallas, Texas. It is not known as yet whether the President survived the attack against him."
This particular bulletin went into even more detail than the other two, as for the first time Cronkite detailed where the shooting victims were wounded (Kennedy had been shot in the head, Connally in the chest). At the conclusion of the bulletin, Cronkite told viewers to stay tuned for further details, perhaps implying that the network would be returning to regular programming. However, Cronkite remained on the air for the next ten minutes, continuing to read bulletins as they were handed to him, followed by recapping the events as they were known and interspersing the new information he had received where appropriate. He also brought up recent instances of assassination attempts against sitting Presidents (including the murder of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak in a botched assassination attempt on then-President-elect Franklin Roosevelt), as well as a recent attack of United Nations ambassador Adlai Stevenson in Dallas which resulted in extra security measures being taken for Kennedy's visit to the city. He also received word that Congressman Albert Thomas of Texas had been told that for the moment the President and governor were still alive.
By 2:00 EST, Cronkite was informed that the camera was ready, and told the viewers over the air that CBS would be taking a station identification break so that affiliates could join the network. Within twenty seconds, all the CBS affiliates (with the exception of KRLD in Dallas, which was covering the tragedy locally) joined the network's coverage. Cronkite appeared on-air in shirt and tie but without his suit coat, given the urgent nature of the story, and opened with this:
"This is Walter Cronkite in our newsroom in New York. There has been an attempt, as perhaps you know now, on the life of President Kennedy. He was wounded in an automobile driving from Dallas Airport into downtown Dallas, along with Governor Connally of Texas. They have been taken to Parkland Hospital there, where their condition is as yet unknown."
Cronkite then tried to throw to KRLD's coverage of the Dallas Trade Mart meeting that the President was supposed to address, but the camera was not ready. After a few seconds, Cronkite started speaking again, but shortly after he had begun, the broadcast abruptly cut into the aforementioned meeting where the station's news director Eddie Barker was reporting (a director was audibly heard saying "Okay, go ahead. Switch it" while Cronkite was talking). He said that the President was still alive (as Cronkite had been told by the report from Congressman Thomas earlier and directly by Congressman Jim Wright just moments before Barker's report was filed). About five minutes later, Barker reported that rumors had begun to circulate that Kennedy was in fact dead.
Cronkite reappeared several minutes after Barker reported that Kennedy was rumored to have been killed, advising that two priests had been called to Kennedy's bedside, although the reasons for which were not made clear. He also played an audio report by KRLD's Jim Underwood, recounting that someone had been arrested in the assassination attempt at the Texas School Book Depository. After said report, Cronkite was told that KRLD was reporting that that the President was dead and Barker was reporting that he had been told by a doctor at Parkland Hospital of the President's death. While the coverage continued at the Dallas Trade Mart meeting, Barker said that the assassination was officially confirmed, but neither the Associated Press or United Press International had done so. He then retracted the statement, saying that it still had yet to officially be confirmed that the President was dead. Shortly thereafter, CBS stopped showing KRLD's coverage and returned to their own coverage of the incident.
As he had been doing, Cronkite again reported the events as they were known. At 2:27 PM EST, word reached Cronkite of a report filed by Dallas bureau chief Dan Rather, which had stated that the President was dead but was unconfirmed. Rather's report had been originally given to CBS Radio, which relayed the report as if Kennedy actually was dead. There was some debate going on in the newsroom at the time whether or not to air the report. Cronkite delivered the news to the nation. Since Rather's report, as he had delivered it, only theorized that the President was dead and no word to that effect had come from any wire service (although Kennedy had died nearly thirty minutes before Rather's report was filed), Cronkite stressed that the report was not an official confirmation of the President's death and continued to report on the incident as if the President was still alive.

three for hope
three for hope We are now two eliminations away from naming the next American Idol, and Simon Cowell's prediction that Adam Lambert's duet skills may have bought Allison Irahetamore time in the competition turned out to be an unqualified prediction. Allison is out of the competition leaving American Idol an all boys contest from here on out. Lambert will be challenged by fellow males Kris Allen and Danny Grokey, and of the two only Allen was spared first from elimination, which could indicate that all the heart throb needs to do is keep up his game to be crowned American Idol; or not. (Although there was no real bottom three this week, it was all for effect.)
With much of the fandom expressing Cowell like glee for the Lambert/Irahetamore duet, predicting the American Idol winner may hinge on whether or not Allison's fans will now give their votes to Adam. Allison's style seems more compatible with Lambert than Gokey or Allen, so it would make sense that those voters who do not dispassionately stop contributing to the tally after Allison's elimination may break for Adam Lambert and turn the tables. Allison may no longer be in the game, but her voters are still out there and have just become a lot more influential towards the American Idol end game.
Once the game has narrowed, the voting gets very interesting based on this sort of vote splitting behavior – the audience expands towards the finale and those who vote religiously have to vote for someone, so trends can go out the window and safe bets are off. Certainly Lambert's existence in the bottom three for two weeks in a row would seem to indicate that his chances for American Idol victory are slipping away, but Allison's fans may hold the key to turning his chances around. Of course, Kris Allen's fast save tonight could be just more of Ryan Seacrest's signature hyperbole, creating tension out of thin air – that is why he is the task master of American Idol.

cerebral vascular disease
In a healthy, anatomical structure of the body, the cartoid arteries form the main blood supply to the brain. Following a stroke, voluntary control of the muscles may be lost, depending on the type of stroke the victim is encountering. Another form of cerebrovascular disease includes aneurysms. In females with defective collagen, the weak branching points of arteries give rise to protrusions with a very thin covering of endothelium that can tear to bleed easily with minimal rise of blood pressure. This can also occur with defective capillaries by tissue cholesterol deposition especially in hypertensive subjects with or without dyslipidemia. If bleeding can occur in this process, the resulting effect is a hemorrhagic stroke in the form of subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage or both. Strokes can also result from embolism, or a ruptured blood vessel. Embolism blocks small arteries within the brain, causing dysfunction to occur. Spontaneous rupture of a blood vessel in the brain causes a hemorrhagic stroke.
In the main structure, the carotid arteries overspread the majority of the cerebrum. The common carotid artery divides into the internal and the external artoid arteries. The internal carotid artery becomes the anterior cerebral artery and the middle central artery. The ACA transmits blood to the frontal parietal and a small part of the occipital lobe. The MCA is the largest branch of the internal carotid artery. From the Basillar artery are two posterior cerebral arteries. Branches of the Basillar and PCA supply the occipital lobe, brain stem, and the cerebellum.
Ischemia is the loss of blood flow to the focal region of the brain. The beginning process of this is quite rapid. The duration of a stroke is usually two to fifteen minutes. One side of the face, hand, or arm may swell up. During this time, you may lose conscious control and faint. Brain deficits may improve over a maximum of 72 hrs. Deficits, as stated before, do not resolve in all cases. The neurological recovery period includes stable, to improving, brain function. Stable is the period by which neither nutrient supply is regained, nor is it lost. Improving, depending on a hospital code, generally means that the arteries gain control and blood flow functions consistently within the brain. The cartoid arteries connect to the vertebral arteries. These branch off into your cerebellar and posterior meningenial arteries, which supply the back of your brain. It is significant that one maintains a healthy and balanced diet in order to prevent cerebrovascular disease.
Also, during ischemia, interneurons weaken, causing an insufficient amount to perform vital functions to be present. The neuroglis become congested or maintain loss during a cerebrovascular accident. If impulse amount ceases, then life itself will cease and the victim may enter the stage of clinical death. Neural pathways weaken, therefore decreasing action potential. The neural arc, which in general consists of sensory and motor neurons, weaken as well. The muscles become paralyzed in some cases for life. Paralysis also includes the weakening of the receptors in the body, unless improvement is made. Cerebrovascular damage to the brain is what makes it difficult for receptors to receive the impulse and transmit it of a neuron. This chemical reaction is then transmitted creating a poor reflex to the body. The meninges that also protect the brain and spinal cord are deeply weakened, allowing the victim to suffer vast transmission of diseases or unstable growth or maintenance if the victim is not in resting position.
During the stage of paralysis, the spinal tracts do not have much to do with the enduring condition of cerebrovascular disease, either, in time may shorten the life of a victim who is suffering because the nutrient supply is weakened in transmission during cerebrovascular disease. Descending and ascending tracts will generally be cut off during cerebrovascular disease, which conducts impulses down from the cord of the brain. This is known as anesthesia in a minor case.
In a healthy body, the cerebrospinal fluid (also known as CFS) may also weaken the cortoid plexus, into a network of brain capillaries. Certain types of hydrocephalus ("water" or CFS on the brain) may be treated by using a shunt (medical) or a cerebral shunt, which involves inserting a hollow tube (or the shunt) through a blocked channel so the CSF can be used to be drained to another portion of the body. The dermatomes are a skin surface area which is regulated by the spinal cord. During a stroke, these may be damaged.

economic depression
1933 -1.3%.During the Depression, unemployment was 25% and wages (for those who still had jobs) fell 42%. Total U.S. economic output fell from $103 to $55 billion and world trade plummeted 65% as measured in dollars. The Depression was aggravated by poor monetary policy. Instead of pumping money into the economy, and increasing the money supply, the Federal Reserve allowed the money supply to fall 30%. The "New Deal" created many government programs to end the Depression, but government programs alone could not end it. Unemployment remained in the double-digits until 1941, when the U.S. entry into World War II created defense-related jobs.
A Depression on the scale of that in 1929 could not happen exactly the way it did before. Many laws and government agencies were put in place because of The Great Depression with the express purpose of preventing that type of cataclysmic economic pain. Central banks around the world, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, are so much more aware of the importance of monetary policy in regulating the economy.
However, there is only so much monetary policy can do without fiscal stimulus. The incredible size of the national debt limits government spending that could be used to stimulate the economy. Both monetary and fiscal policy are needed to prevent a global

kat von d without tattoos
Playing by her own rules, Kat lives a fast-paced, rebel lifestyle. Hers is a life of freedom: she sets her own schedule, picks her clients and parties all night, all while running and maintaining a burgeoning business. Kat balances tattooing and running her business with attending red carpet events, making appearances and currently putting together a three day music and tattoo festival called MUSINK (Feb. 22-24) in Orange County.
A true L.A. woman, Kat finds her inspiration in the City of Angels. Whether she's partying at the hottest bars and clubs or checking out bands, Kat is constantly finding interesting ideas for her art. Through her active lifestyle she’s forged close friendships with and often tattoos several of the actors, athletes and rockers who live in L.A. Celebrities who have flocked to Kat for her signature fine-line, black-and-gray life-like portraits include Jenna Jameson, Jared Leto, Eric Balfour and Margaret Cho as well as members of My Chemical Romance, Metallica, Slayer, Queens of the Stoneage, Incubus, Scott Ian and Sebastian Bach.
While Kat has lived most of her life in Los Angeles, she was born March 8, 1982, in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Kat's family moved to the United States when she was 4, settling in Colton, Calif. Her father and mother were born in Argentina, though her father's family origins were German and her mother's was Spanish-Italian.
Kat is close with both her parents and her siblings, however; it was her paternal grandmother, a professional pianist form Germany, who turned Kat onto the arts. Pushing Kat to take piano lessons, her grandmother introduced her to some of the great composers, including Beethoven, whose work Kat immediately fell in love with. This encounter in turn led Kat on a never-ending journey to discover other composers, painters and sculptors from that time period.
As Kat became a teenager, she was exposed to punk rock music and became immersed in its culture. At age 14 she got her first tattoo, an old English "J" on her ankle, a memento of a love gone-by. Shortly thereafter, Kat did her first tattoo. She tattooed a Misfits skull, representing one of her favorite bands, onto one of her friends. Ironically, she ended up tattooing one of the original members of the Misfits years later.

By age 16 she was hooked and working at tattoo shops in and around Los Angeles. A few years later Kat was at True Tattoo in Hollywood, working alongside notable artists like Clay Decker and Chris Garver â€" who brought her down to Miami Ink. There, she further honed her signature style, developed her hard-core following and came into her own as an artist. Tattoos aren’t just everything to Kat Von D, they are her life. - Kat Von D

So You Think You Can Dance
Results Show Recap - July 16, 2009
Hello, and welcome to Fox' So You Think You Can Dance: The Results Show - LIVE. Tonight, ten become eight as two more dancers are sent home--with no opportunity for the judges to save them. Tonight's So You Think You Can Dance opens with a group dance to Janet Jackson's So Much Betta.
I didn't catch who choreographed it, but it was awesome. Cat lets us know that Mia, Tabitha and Napoleon, Tyce and Dmitry were nominated for Emmys. In case anyone is interested:
Bleeding Love • Tabitha D'umo and Napoleon D'umo (Danced by Chelsie and Mark)
Mercy • Mia Michaels, (Danced by Katee and Twitch)
Adam and Eve / Silence • Tyce Diorio (Danced by Jessica and Will)
A Los Amigos • Dmitry Chaplin (Danced by Chelsie and Joshua)
I'm surprised Tabitha and Napoleon's No Air routine (danced by Katee and Joshua) didn't get nominated, but I loved Bleeding Love too! Congratulations to everyone!
Nigel also got an honorary Doctorate! Congratulations!
We get recaps from last night before we officially get down to business.
RESULTS:
Top Five Girls:
Janette: SAFE!
Randi: Bottom 2.
Jeanine: SAFE!
Kayla: SAFE!
Melissa: Bottom 2
We get some season six previews and I've got to say, I see some potential top twenty dancers already!
RESULTS:
Top Five Guys:
Jason: SAFE!
Evan: SAFE!
Kupono: Bottom 2
Ade: Bottom 2
Brandon: SAFE!
Next week's guest include Ellen DeGeneres and some past dancers. YAY!
Since this week the solos are to give everyone one last chance to dance and not to save them, I won't get into them too much, except that there is no way Melissa or Ade belonged in the bottom tonight. (Not that Randi and Kupono did, but the other two really brought their A-game tonight)
The Black Eyed Peas perform while the judges deliberate and to be honest, as much as I love them, I wish these shows would bring lesser known bands or older ones--I'd love someone to bring Fleetwood Mac or have a boy band reunion just for the fun of it. It would be a cool change of pace and probably bring back lots of cool memories for people.
RESULTS!
Randi and Kupono are going home. They are given hugs, kisses and montages before they have to say goodbye. Best of luck to them.
Tune in next week for more dancing, cool guests and eliminations on So You Think You Can Dance. Goodnight!
amber alert 72b381
An unofficial Amber Alert that apparently originated in Salt Lake City last Sunday night crisscrossed the country over the following two days, convincing well-meaning text messagers and Twitter users from Maryland to California that a 7-year-old girl in their state had been abducted by a man driving a "newer silver truck" with the license plate number 72B381.
The message is false. Police say there are no real missing-person cases fitting that description.
A very early version of the alert read as follows:
FWD: FWD: FW: AMBER ALERT A 7 yr old girl was taken by a man driving a newer silver truck. The license plate reads 72b381 please please pass on.
By the time Utah authorities disavowed the bogus message on Monday, it had already spread to Wisconsin...
Retweet: AMBER ALERT. A seven year old girl was taken by a man driving a newer silver truck. license plate # 72B381 Menomonie area FWD PLZ
...not to mention Woodward, Oklahoma...
