text: 422 FXUS65 KGJT 200506 AFDGJT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Junction CO 1106 PM MDT TUE JUL 19 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Wednesday Night) Issued at 230 PM MDT Tue Jul 19 2016 In the large scale, an upper Low is spinning off the Washington- Oregon coast and the subtropical High is on the southern plains. This is producing a moist SW flow over the forecast area through the work week. Precipitable water was measured at 1.22 inches on the morning sounding, which is much above normal. Afternoon storms are being driven by orographic lift, marginal instability, and low shear environment. Thus storms are expected to be of the pop and drop variety. Outflow boundary clashes will likely keep storms going through the night. In addition a weak disturbance analyzed over the Mogollon Rim this afternoon will move to near the Four Corners this evening providing some additional forcing there. Wednesday a larger wave that was in NW Chihuahua this afternoon will work over the area. This looks to enhance thunderstorm chances along and south of a line from Lake Powell to Steamboat Springs. Storm coverage drops to isolated after midnight Wednesday with no additional forcing evident. The deep moisture, clouds, and showers bring good news and bad news. Good, the daily temperature spread will shrink with mild mornings and less hot afternoons. Bad, dewpoints in the 50s will keep the afternoons feeling muggy. More good, fire concerns are diminished. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 230 PM MDT Tue Jul 19 2016 Through Friday, the moist SW flow continues. Both the more moist NAM and the drier GFS keep precipitable water values over one inch. No significant disturbances are resolved for now so a broad brush monsoonal surge forecast continues. The southern and eastern portion of the forecast area looks to be favored for showers. By Saturday, the Pacific NW upper Low ejects through the northern Rockies. This turns the upper flow from SW to a drier west. The subtropical High also expands across the southern tier of states. All of this brings a strong drying and warming trend to the forecast area that continues into at least next Tuesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1106 PM MDT Tue Jul 19 2016 Moist monsoonal flow will continue to dictate shower and thunderstorm development over eastern Utah and western Colorado over the next 24 hours. An enhanced wave of showers and thunderstorms has moved over southwest CO this evening and will continue to track northward overnight. While this activity may weaken somewhat as it shifts north, some showers and thunderstorms will persist throughout the night and even into the morning hours. Outflow from passing storms/showers may create gusty localized outflow winds. VFR conditions will prevail but TSRA/+TSRA will briefly produce IFR VIS and possibly MVFR CIGS. Storm coverage will increase again Wednesday after 18z with the best coverage expected along and south of a line from KCNY northeast to KSBS. The strongest storms may produce heavy rain and small hail. && .GJT Watches/Warnings/Advisories... CO...None. UT...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Joe LONG TERM...Joe AVIATION...EH

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Drinking Juice May Stall Alzheimer's
Aug. 31, 2006 -- Drinking fruit or vegetable juice every other day may keep Alzheimer's disease away.
A new study shows people who drank fruit and vegetable juices more than three times a week were 76% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who drank juices less than once a week.
Researchers say the results suggest that a class of antioxidants found in fruit and vegetable juices called polyphenols may have a protective effect on the brain and help fight dementiadementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Polyphenols are found in fruits and vegetables, primarily in the skins and peels, and are abundant in juices, teas, and wine.
Juice Fights Alzheimer's Disease
In the study, published in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers followed nearly 2,000 Japanese-American adults from King County, Wash., for 10 years. The participants were aged 65 or older and were free of signs of Alzheimer's or dementia at the start of the study. Self-reported dietary information was obtained from 1,589 of the adults. The average age of this group was 72 years at the start of the study.
Previous studies show Japanese adults living in Japan have a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease. But Japanese people living in the U.S. have higher rates of the disease, which suggests that environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle may play an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
After adjusting for possible confounding factors, like smoking, educational status, and physical activity, the researchers found people who drank fruit and vegetable juices more than three times a week had a 76% lower risk of probable Alzheimer's disease compared with those who drank juice less than once a week. Drinking fruit or vegetable juice once or twice a week was associated with a 16% lower risk.
In addition, the study showed the protective benefits of juice appeared to be particularly enhanced in people who had a genetic marker linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease known as apolipoprotein E å-4 allele.
They also found no relationship between dietary intake of vitamins C and E, beta carotene, or tea and the risk for Alzheimer's disease.

don't ask me why, but i used to temporarily fix this problem by opening the box up and unplugging the IDE cable and power supply to the HDD. i'd let it sit for a minute or two, plug em back in, and presto! it would miraculously work again!
well, now it simply gives me the Error 7 code and doesn't do shit from this point. i understand this error means a bad IDE cable. but, i'm inclined to believe it's something else since i've swapped out the cable and still no luck.
i'm not familiar with these Xecuter chips (i was given this xBox) so i don't know how to fix this problem.
anyone out there have the same problem and know how to fix this?
thank you!!

Programmers often need to reason about how a program evolved between two or more program versions. Reasoning about program changes is challenging as there is a significant gap between how programmers think about changes and how existing program differencing tools represent such changes. For example, even though modification of a locking protocol is conceptually simple and systematic at a code level, diff extracts scattered text additions and deletions per file. To enable programmers to reason about program differences at a high level, this paper proposes a rule-based program differencing approach that automatically discovers and represents systematic changes as logic rules. To demonstrate the viability of this approach, we instantiated this approach at two different abstraction levels in Java: first at the level of application programming interface (API) names and signatures, and second at the level of code elements (e.g., types, methods, and fields) and structural dependences (e.g., method-calls, field-accesses, and subtyping relationships). The benefit of this approach is demonstrated through its application to several open source projects as well as a focus group study with professional software engineers from a large e-commerce company.

SC1: Animal Models of Pain: Progress and Challenges - (DETAILED AGENDA)
Jeffrey S. Mogil, Ph.D., E.P. Taylor Professor of Pain Studies, McGill University
Many are frustrated with the lack of translational progress in the pain field, in which huge gains in basic science knowledge obtained using animal models have not led to the development of many novel and clinically effective compounds. A careful reexamination of animal models of pain is therefore warranted. This course will describe the current implementation of animal models of pain, discuss a wide range of modulatory factors affecting data obtained within them, lay out the case for the replacement of current models by more sophisticated ones, and describe progress toward that goal.
Topics to be Covered:
2:00-5:00 pm
SC3: Nanotechnology for Enhancing Bioavailability of Poorly Soluble Drugs - (Detailed Agenda)
Shaukat Ali, Ph.D., Technical Support Manager, BASF Corp.
Wantanee Phuapradit, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Research & Development, Kashiv Pharma

Michael Perlman, Ph.D., Senior Scientist II, Biopharmaceutics and Physicochemical Profiling, Takeda Pharmaceuticals
Salin Gupta Patel, Associate Principal Scientist, Nanoparticles Technology Development Team Lead, Merck Research Labs
A significant number of new chemical entities (NCEs) are practically insoluble and thus, the industry is struggling to find solutions by adapting the non-conventional innovative and cost effective technologies in development of these molecules. This workshop will be aimed at understanding the significance of nanotechnology in formulation development and its role leading to enhance solubility and bioavailability of drug candidates.
6:00-9:00 pm (Dinner)
Jeffrey E. Green, M.D., Chief, Transgenic Oncogenesis and Genomics Section, Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute
Zoë Weaver Ohler, PH.D., Principal Scientist, Preclinical Evaluation Team Leader, Center for Advanced Preclinical Research, Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (NCI)
Neal Goodwin, Ph.D., Vice President Corporate Research Development, Champions Oncology, Inc.
Bruce R. Zetter, Ph.D., Charles Nowiszewski Professor of Cancer Biology, Department of Surgery, Harvard Medical School
Metastasis is the primary cause of patient mortality from cancer. This course will present methods that are used to study metastases in vivo using genetically-engineered mouse (GEM) models, standard xenografts, and patient derived xenografts to elucidate mechanisms controlling metastatic spread and therapeutic strategies using these preclinical models. Techniques used to disseminate tumors at metastatic sites and assess metastatic growth in vivo will be discussed, including tail vein and intracardiac injection, ex vivo pulmonary metastasis assay, luciferase imaging, and other non-invasive imaging modalities. Examples of specific topics to be covered include:
• Approaches to studying metastases in mice
• Strategies for experimental design with metastatic models
• Metastatic breast cancer models
• Metastatic ovarian cancer models (GEM and orthotopic)
• Melanoma metastatic models (orthotopic)
• PDX metastatic models

History of bathing[edit]
hi - can anyone tell me how a French nobleman would have seen to his toilet in the 17th century? Were there bathtubs? The bath article isn't specific Adambrowne666 01:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- In that time frame, bathing, even among nobility, was rare. The tub would likely be portable and used in the kitchen, as that was the only place with the ability for servants to heat large quantities of water (in pots on the stove or fire). You also mentioned toilets, do you want to know how/where they urinated and defecated ? StuRat 01:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Remember, though, that we're talking about a time before water treatment plants. People didn't drink plain water, especially in Paris (it was known to be dangerous - Pepys mentioned in his diary that people had died of cholera after bathing in Paris water), and therefore they didn't wallow around in great tubs of it where they could swallow a mouthful. (Of course, they didn't understand that boiling it would make it safe.) They wiped themselves off with a damp cloth every morning - much safer than bathing.
- However, they didn't have very good fabric dyes; wool and silk dyes were especially unstable. Wool, linen and silk were just about the only materials they had, and linen was only acceptable for underwear. They therefore didn't - couldn't - wash their outer clothing. (Most people wore linen underneath their wool or silk suits.) This is why people were plagued with fleas and lice and why they smelled; they couldn't wash their clothes well enough to remove the vermin and smell. Of course, poor people sometimes didn't have access to water in any quantity, and they often only had one set of clothing; how do you wash in those circumstances?
- Getting back to Adambrowne666's question, though: you should specify exactly which nobles you're talking about, or if you're really talking about royals, a completely different matter. Louis XIV's toilette could take up to an hour, and nobles were expected to attend him. In his book The Decline and Fall of Nearly Everybody, Will Cuppy mentions that people who are tired of their current hectic social schedules should be glad they don't have to get up at seven in the morning to see Louis XIV put on his pants.
- Nobles themselves - it would differ depending on whether they were at court or not. Louis XIV made it an almost necessity for nobles to attend him at Versailles; he did this to control them (a nobleman dancing attendance on the King in his palace isn't able to raise an army in Provence). Winston Churchill mentions this in Part 1 of his enormous biography of the 1st Duke of Marlborough. Lesser nobles would have servants to help them. --Charlene.fic 18:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. Actually, I meant toilet in its original sense, to preen and bathe and prepare yourself for the day or whatever - but yeah, hit me with the urination and defecation. I have heard that in Versailles there were servants assigned the job of wiping their betters' bottoms, is that so? Adambrowne666 05:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Are you sure you want me to hit you with urine and feces ? I believe at least one king employed a Groom of the Stool, but this was not a very widespread position. :-) StuRat 06:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
It seems to have been normal for people to cleanse their hands and faces in the morning from a basin in the bedroom. A nobleman would have had plenty of servants to carry water. For bodily waste he would have used a chamberpot or a commode. The latter was a piece of furniture designed to conceal a chamberpot from view. During the late Middle Ages there was an erotic fad for men and women to eat a meal while naked in the same warm bath. This particular practice had probably faded by the seventeenth century, but illustrations do depict a bed near the tub. Durova 14:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent answers! Thanks, all. I wonder if the groom of the stool would take it the wrong way if I declined to shake hands with him. Adambrowne666 21:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, they can be rather anal about those things. :-) StuRat 13:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Water Fountain Deaths[edit]
Greetings...Sorry to disturb you...
I was just wondering...
How many people have died under collapsed water fountains?
Thank you for your time. :)
- That's OK, we were already disturbed before you arrived. I don't know of anyone having ever died under a collapsing water fountain, however. Has there been an epidemic of this I've somehow missed ? StuRat 01:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe you're referring to the incident on Aug 27 in Bharatpur district, Rajasthan? A water tank collapsed under the weight of a large group of spectators sitting on it. According to most references, 47 people were killed and around 30 were injured. Read the article at Expressindia, for instance. I don't know the total death toll of all people ever killed in accidents involving collapsing water tanks. ---Sluzzelin 03:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Suppose a man has two sons by two different women, who are sisters. The sons are thus half-brothers and also cousins - but genetically more closely related than usual half-brothers or cousins. This is similar to double cousins, too, but different because the cousins have the same father. Is there a specific term for this kind of relationship? Thanks! --Grace 06:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've never heard of such a term, but this situation must surely have arisen. (particularly in the case where the first mother dies).

US Flag[edit]
Are the things listed about handling the flag of the United States "respectful tradition" or are they a US (federal or state) "legal requirement"? -- SGBailey 06:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- According to the article's section on flag etiquette, these guidelines are defined as part of the United States Code, specifically the US Flag Code. Although they are federal law, they remain guidelines, and ignoring or breaking these rules has no legal consequences. I didn't compare all the items listed in the article with the actual code, but it seems that they aren't merely 'respectful tradition', but codified, albeit not legally enforcable, guidelines.---Sluzzelin 07:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
However, from time to time, when a particular US politician has something to hide, they will bring up an absurd "flag burning Amendment", to assign punishments to desecrating this symbol. Such "wrapping oneself in the American flag" happens on a regular basis. StuRat 07:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- And of course they tend to ignore that part of the Flag Code which says that the flag must be burned as the only appropriate method of descturction. They also ignore those parts about using it on paper plates, napkins, advertising and clothing. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- And in fairness, the actual text of the proposed "flag-burning" amendments actually allows congress to create laws prohibiting desecration of the US flag, not burning of the US flag. Not that I am in favor of such an amendment, mind you, but the authors have at least considered that burning a flag as a respectful method of disposal should continue to be allowed.

Muslims who engaged in Jihad do not kill[edit]
What is all this talk about muslims kill people when they engage in Jihad? Muslims performing Jihad do not kill. Here is proof straight from the mouth of Allah. Allah does not lie.
Quran 008.017
YUSUFALI: It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
PICKTHAL: Ye (Muslims) slew them not, but Allah slew them. And thou (Muhammad) threwest not when thou didst throw, but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair test from Him. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
SHAKIR: So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
18.104.22.168 10:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. We should then shoot whoever believes this, and it won't be us who kills them, but Allah, for surely nobody dies except by the will of Allah. I've had a similar thought on parents who deny their children life saving medical treatments on religious grounds ("only God can decide who lives or dies"). They should be shot in the head. If they die, it was God's will, and their designated replacement can then decide if the kids get treatment. If the replacement also says no, then shoot them in the head, too, etc. Eventually, the kids will be treated and we will have purged the planet of a few idiots, to boot.

Voltaire says it best.
Formerly there were those who said: You believe things that are incomprehensible, inconsistent, impossible because we have commanded you to believe them; go then and do what is unjust because we command it. Such people show admirable reasoning. Truly, whoever is able to make you believe the absurd is able to make you do the unjust. If the God-given understanding of your mind does not resist a demand to believe what is impossible, then you will not resist a demand to do wrong to that God-given sense of justice in your heart. As soon as one faculty of your soul has been dominated, other faculties will follow as well. And from this derives all those crimes of religion which have overrun the world. - Voltaire ( Questions sur les miracles 1765 ) Ohanian 10:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
So every act of violence ever performed in the name of Islam is justified? When the Pope says something thoughtless in the middle of a long speech, it's all right to attack churches including Orthodox and Anglican churches that don't even recognize papal authority? I consider it my duty to condemn attacks against mosques, and I write this as someone whose nearest relative was one of the last people to escape from the World Trade Center alive. Yet when people post the above and take it seriously, it's only a matter of time until some Christian returns a similar outrage against Islam and justifies it with "Wherever hurt is done, you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, bruise for bruise, wound for wound." Exodus 21:23-26 It's much harder to live by, "You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..."

holiday destinations[edit]
Between the dates of 1964-74, what were the most popular holiday destinations in England? I need to know this for my english A-level homework, and have not had any success in looking on the internet or in books.
- I don't know, but I guess Brighton and Blackpool would be up near the top. --Richardrj talk email 09:39, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- it will generally depend where people were travelling from. some random seaside resort towns of the time would be Bournemouth, Brighton, Weston super Mare, Skegness, Scarborough, Blackpool, Bognor Regis. There are also the national parks, such as the Peak District National Park (Buxton and Matlock), etc etc Morwen - Talk 13:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- It always used to be said that the "big three" seaside resorts were (in no particular order) Blackpool, Bournemouth and Brighton. I have no statistics to back that up - just that they were referred to in that way. And there was a strong element of tradition - people in a particular industrial town often used to go en masse to the same resort - eg during Wakes Week people from Halifax went overwhelmingly to Morecambe. Jameswilson 00:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Are you talking about holiday destinations popular with the English or with holiday destinations popular with those visiting England from other parts of the UK and internationally? I think you'd find a huge difference. People from abroad don't flock to English seaside resorts much, but are fascinated by London (above all), Stratford, and Stonehenge. --Charlene.fic 20:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
American vs English or British ethnicity[edit]
Since when do ethnicities stop forming? When a country such as Belgium or Switzerland, Spain or Russia and Germany is formed of composite former nation-states, do the newfound citizens not produce children that identify ethnically with their new nation? For instance, I am British, French and Irish ancestrally in the USA. I know that paternally, my ancestors came during the reign of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's one king. Then again, there were relatives of the same surname who were there in the old Virginia colony, who fought against their master George III of Hanover's yoke and declared themselves American. These remnants of 1776 still identify ethnically/ancestrally as American, rather than any UK-related fief under the Crown. British, French and Irish Protestants who were there in 1776 identify as American--but the Orange-Nassau/Pennsylvania Dutch and Netherlands/New York Dutch people still proudly claim their Continental roots. I would say that is proof that old roots don't always hold water. I have recently begun to shear off my British cultural allegiance, with an understanding of my own American heritage and am just fine adopting the mantle which better describes me. Although 3rd generation American, I have differences with the modern (Germanophile) UK and disagree with a lot of how it is going. In short, I would NOT want to live there now, in this day and age. If you do not believe me, at least believe the United States Census Bureau. People of the three major racial backgrounds apart from non-French Continental colonials present in 1776, are represented as: "American", "African American", "American Indian" in this map page...Maps of American ancestries I would consider American nation-state status to be more legitimate in the way of providing an ethnicity. Canada and other Commonwealth nations are still tied to the UK and it would be silly to pretend that the English in Canada have no identity, especially when contrasted to the French--even the Scots and Irishmen maintain individualist presences. Éponyme 09:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
So it makes sense that I could be American ethnically, British culturally and White racially? Éponyme 10:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose people started seeing themselves as English rather than Anglo, Saxon, Norman, etc., after they became a complicated mixture of the various tribes. Later, they started thinking of themselves as British rather than English, Welsh, Scottish, etc. Similarly, people will start to identify themselves strictly as Americans when they are each a complex mixture of ethnicities. For example, I'm English, Scottish, and French. If you add another dozen ethnicities I'd just have to consider myself "American" and forget about breaking down my origins further. StuRat 10:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- All of those categories are arbitrary social identification labels. You can also be a Red Sox fan, catholic, and an easterner with about the same degree of biologic determination. alteripse 10:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
I guess my point is that relatively speaking, there is legitimacy in this and I'm not crazy when it comes to my preference. It sure beats trying to keep ties with Britons who don't want to be bothered with Britons who've "gone colonial" and assimilated with rebels. Éponyme 10:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's certainly possible to have, as an individual, different values for the three. I'm no expert on the subject, but I'm not sure about your choices for ethnicity and culture. Is there American ethnicity? Native american, I'd guess. And I know there's a constant debate about whether there is a "British culture". I know a few Scots who argue strongly against. --Dweller 10:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
That's what I'm getting at. I strongly object to any aborignalization of the Indians, whom have their own diverse tribes of Asiatic origin and are categorized by their ethnic names beneath the collective "American Indian" name. That reminds me of when some ignorant people think we got Democracy from the Iroquois Indians. Those folks don't follow Washington, DC and I'll be damned (by Britons, especially) before I consider myself Native British either. I'm not going to be the lapdog for Political Correctness. I was born in America, to American parents and some of my ancestors were of UK and French Canadian origins. I see it that way and there is no way that the ethnic protestors in the Ward Churchill crowd would want to be called "American" as that is a latinized/feminized Italian name, just like the District of Columbia. BTW the state of Indiana is the best we Americans get to identifying these Indians on any honest level. These people had names before Columbus or whoever came and the anachronistic appelation "American race" for their roots is fallacious. I was merely interested to see what y'all think about people identifying with their national roots on a historical and genetic level. It is different from Europe in some ways. On another level, our identification is like France. I am as much a Virginian as my forefathers were Northumbrians and before that, from the Frankish east of Brittany. I believe that regional identities work and are "real", just as much as I believe "race" has social and genetic value. Of course, many European ethnic names came from pagan deities and one would give special meaning compared to "American"--named after a mere mortal. Éponyme 10:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe I got my stupid head on, but I'm not really following you. I think you're arguing that you have American ethnicity. I'd suggest you're more likely to have a strongly American culture. A Sikh person whose family has lived in (say) Sweden for (say) 5 generations can still be ethnically and racially Sikh, not Swedish, even if totally integrated culturally. --Dweller 11:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Especially when ignoramuses like me try to answer on subjects they really don't have sufficient knowledge about :-) --Dweller 11:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
The American Census Bureau has accepted "American" as ancestry and therefore, a legitimate ethnicity--based in those rebel colonists who cast off their British rule and established a new identity, or else Romans were just Trojans and blah blah blah. Maybe Thracians still exist? BTW, Morwen this is a legit topic (humanities) and you can shut your mouth and go away. The Indians are not ethnically or racially American, but I am ethnically American. Indians have sovereign tribes still in existance. They never embraced American to mean them ethnically, only geopolitically in respect to Old and New World differentiations. Éponyme 11:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please be civil. The reference desk is for questions. If you have a question, please ask it. My answer would be that the entire concept of ethnicity as applied to people of general mixed european descent is bogus and evil. Morwen - Talk 11:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- But that's not a very interesting answer! I think a siesmic (sp?) shift occurs when people go from tribal to city living. I had a friend with a tribal background who couldn't understand that I didn't know what tribe I was from (the loudmouths?). Another interesting point was that we had an almost identical repertoire of jokes that started 'There was this man who...' and he couldn't understand that I didn't know the man in the joke, whereas it took me a while to realise that when he started a joke with 'There was this man in our village who...' he actually knew the subject of the joke. Rentwa 16:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what the question is that I am supposed to be answering. But I will say that "ethnicity" is best understood in terms of a group identity based on cultural difference from other neighboring groups. A British identity would not emerge among subjects of the United Kingdom until Scots and Englishmen identified with each other as opposed to some other group. So, British identity was probably strongest under the Empire, when Scots and Englishmen shared in the imperial project and shared an identity in opposition to the natives of India, or during the world wars, when both groups shared a common interest in fighting off the threat German invasion or aerial bombardment. In more recent times, Englishmen and Scotsmen are more likely to find their ethnic identities in opposition to each other. As for ethnicity in the United States, it is very complicated but again boils down to group self-identification in opposition to other groups on cultural grounds. Sometimes it is done on little more than ancestral grounds. Typically, though, when ethnicity no longer has much cultural content but is merely a matter of ancestry, many people who have that ancestry will not identify strongly with it. For example, some of my ancestors brought my family name from Ireland to the United States around 1850. However, my last name does not suffice to make me identify as ethnically Irish. I was not raised Catholic, and I have been to Ireland and consider it a delightful, but foreign country. If I have an ethnicity, I guess it is "American." But I don't think that the U.S. Census Bureau can be cited as a guide to whether a particular ethnicity is "legitimate." Their decisions on which labels to use are ultimately political, with only a contingent link to anthropological or sociological reality. Marco polo 17:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

stars and dwarf/minor planets named after scientists[edit]
Hi there
I was recently reading that Esperanto inventor L.L. Zamenhof has a minor planet named after him. I wonder what other semi-obscure scientists/politicians/literary personalities have minor or even dwarf planets named after them? Or even stars, comets etc would be interesting to find out.
Thanks in advance for any help with this project anyone can offer.

- A euphemism for sexual activity (although I can't find an online reference for it, I've heard this mentioned - it's not that unlikely because both the terms "jazz" and "ragtime" have that origin);
- A description of the movement one makes when one has a strong religious feeling (from US gospel music); and
- An old English description of the movement of a sailing ship (this is the oldest in print, dating back to the 1600s)[1]

The Pope; His Sermon; His Regret; and the Response from Muslims.[edit]
So, the Pope has now intimated his regret that some members of the Islamic Faith appeared to misunderstand that his intentions were not to attack their faith or beliefs - merely to initiate a discussion surrounding the unacceptability of violence and murder in the name of (any) religion. That may or may not be a reasonable stance for him to take. And one that may or may not be accepted by those offended. But if the offended Muslims claim they were offended by his remarks (taken from the 14th century text he was quoting from) because they were "false", is their reaction not a good sign that indicates their rejection of the "allegation" that Muhammed (pbuh) had brought nothing but violence into the world? In other words, the offended Muslims must therefore believe that Muhammed (pbuh)had in fact brought only GOOD things into the world? That being the case, would someone more enlightened than myself point me to the universally accepted list of what all those good things were (and supposedly remain)? Might they include for example that conversion to Islam (or any religion)involving aggression or duress is unacceptable (and would Muhammed (pbuh) actually want such conversions)? Would the list include tolerance, peace, harmony, and a rejection of murder and terrorism in His (Allah's) or any other Deity's name? And would the list include patience and understanding when someone's faith (Islamic or Christian, Jewish, Shinto, Buddhist, Atheist or Agnostic) was uncertain and they merely wanted to ask a few intelligent questions to satisfy their God-given logic, curiousity and intelligence that they weren't merely and slavishly being led up some 7th Century visionary's garden path? And how do the offended Muslims suggest that the Pope's intimated suggestion that rational and peaceable discussions between all those secular and religious groups affected by and involved in this seemingly never-ending problem proceed? Is there another Solomon (pbuh) out there? If not I hope that God reads this plea for enlightenment and understanding and sends one who is acceptable to all the parties involved.

It's very tempting to make grand generalisations about all Muslims based on the actions of an extremely tiny, but very visible, minority. People who blow up churches (or fly planes into the World Trade Centre, for that matter) in the name of Islam have no brief to formally represent the religion of Islam. They are just individuals misguidedly expressing their personal stuff. Those who paint all Muslims as violent church-exploders are indulging in just as extreme an over-reaction as the church-exploders themselves. JackofOz 10:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Islam is wrongly condoned as a religion of terror. They are patient with their desires & they constantly practice their faith. What right does pope have to comment about the way another sect of population practices its faith. First he needs to advocate & inculcate the habit of proper practice of his faith by the christian community(the west) (Its useless depiction of female status and lack of family values in the west by abusing freedom). :—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52(talk • contribs)
what a great debate this is? personally, i have no beef with what the pope says becuase, well, hes a bastard. (ever heard what he says about women? gay men? - offended muslims should count themselves blessed!) but in response to one part of the question that hasnt been addressed: without getting into too much detail (becuase whenever i do, some wikipedant jumps down my throat), without islamic culture, maths wouldnt be what it is today. in fact, through thir contact with india, they brought zero to europe -i mean, their "good"contributions have not been nothing!

Largest city in the world by metropolitan area[edit]
I have searched everywhere and cannot find which is the largest city in the world my metropolitan area, I can find land mass here and poputation statistics but it is still not the metropolitan area which includes other shires and towns that are included in a metropolitan area. Does anyone have or know where I can go to get the facts?
- The Greater Los Angeles Area has 87,972 km^2, according to the List of metropolitan areas by population - none of the other top 100 metropolitan areas is larger.---Sluzzelin 22:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose that depends on how you define the city boundaries. Mount Isa lays claim to the title and that got acknowledged by the Guinness book of world records. But it's size is 'just' 42.904 km², against 82.300 km² for Chongqing and 95.288.5 km² for Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Or so the articles say. A government can easily get one of its cities at the top of the list by redefining the city boundaries. So the question is a bit pointless, unless you have a clear definition of what you want to know. Which starts with what you want to know it for in the first place.

Raffaello Sanzio[edit]
What type of architect style did Raphael use?
Yes... it doesnt name a style that he used. I dont see why I want to know as the answer to the question. I want to know as it has been topic of discussion in certain circles lately. The largest city by metropolitan area was the question. Not population nor land mass or local government area. I just wanted to know given the definition of "metropolitan area" as given here at wikipedia. So i anyone knows could they answer it here. Many thanks to those of you who have tried.

Replacing actual lit candles, the first electric Christmas tree lights are credited as to having been hung by the president of Thomas Edison's company, Edward H. Johnson, in his home on New York City's Upper East Side, back in 1882. Initially too costly for most families, by the early 1900s, Christmas lights were made safe and readily available to the masses. Since then, these light have taken on many different shapes, sizes and colors. Finally, in 1998, LED Christmas lights began popping up everywhere in America, and today, these energy-efficient bulbs remain the ideal lighting choice to keep your home lit-up through the entire season.
So, as we celebrate the holidays and look back on an eventful year for our company, we find a common theme – lights. By changing our name, we made it clear that we now offer an enormous selection of light bulbs; and with another holiday season, we again decorate our homes and businesses with festive lights.
Keeping in line with the spirit of illumination, below are 13 images from 13 famous holiday-themed movies, all depicting some sort of lighting display. From a famous cinematic explosion, to two romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan, to a movie with an actor named Bing, we hope you have fun identifying the photos you can scroll through on the left with the matching films listed on the right. Answers will be revealed in next week's blog.

The discovery in Dunedin of a World War 1 soldier's paybook
has delighted his 92-year-old daughter.
Pat Heckler, of Waikouaiti, drove to Dunedin yesterday to
retrieve the paybook issued to her father, the late John
Preston, of Goodwood.
''It's terrific. I'm a great hoarder and this is just
astonishing,'' she said.
Mr Preston, a sheep farmer, served as a gunner in England.
His paybook recorded his ''net daily rate'' of 2 shillings
and sixpence (half a crown) for ''active service in the
In 1914, the average New Zealand wage for a 58-hour week was
16 shillings and ninepence, and in 1918 the average wage for
a 52-hour week was 1 10 shillings and sixpence.
Mr Preston's paybook was found in a box, tucked underneath a
staircase inside the old Reed Building in central Dunedin
just before Christmas.
Max Bennett found the box and its historic contents while
clearing part of the building for Dunedin developer Lawrie
There was little else in the box, just a bit of rubbish, he
Mrs Heckler was thrilled to be given the paybook yesterday,
having heard Mr Forbes talk about its discovery on a 39
Dunedin News programme recently.
She is the last surviving child from Mr Preston's first
Her older brother, John Preston jun, was killed in an
accident in the Manuka Gorge about 11 years ago, and their
mother, Florence, died at a young age in the mid-1920s.
Mr Preston remarried and had four other children, Mrs Heckler
said. He died many years ago, she added.
''When he came back from the war, he went farming at Flag
Swamp and was a farmer his whole life. His father was a
farmer, and the family home was Centrewood in Goodwood,'' Mrs
Heckler said.
She remembered watching her father play billiards at the
Palmerston RSA, where she and her brother were told to ''be
quiet and not make any trouble''.
Mr Preston was a quiet man, but loved talking about history,
Mrs Heckler said.
''He was a great storyteller; you could never get him off the
stories of the past.''

Albert has been a staple in the Braves' organization as a player, coach and manager since 1972 and comes to Rome from the organization's Gulf Coast League team, which was 7-9 through Thursday.
He has managed or coached at every level and in 2000 was honored as the organization's Minor League Manager of the Year.
For Walbeck, it's the second time the 41-year-old been fired in less than a year. The former Major League catcher has put together an extremely successful Minor League coaching career despite bouncing around in recent seasons. He led West Michigan to Midwest League championships in 2004 and 2006 and was the 2006 Midwest League Manager of the Year.
Baseball America named Walbeck the 2007 Minor League Manager of the Year, the same year he was named Eastern League Manager of the Year with Double-A Erie.
Walbeck coached third base in the Majors with Texas in 2008 before returning to the Minors, where he won the Eastern League championship with Double-A Altoona last year and was again named EL Manager of the Year. The Pirates, however, fired him after the playoffs.
This season, Walbeck's Braves are 28-56 and in last place in the Class A South Atlantic League's Southern Division.
Walbeck, a 1987 eight-round pick, played for the Cubs, Twins, Tigers, Angels and Philles in the Majors from 1993-2003.

Italian Chicken, Mushroom, and Zucchini Skillet
Italian is often my go-to cuisine when I want something easy. There are so many things you can do with tomatoes, olive oil, and your favorite Italian herbs.

This meal comes together quickly and is full of lots of hearty vegetables. Use the vegetables listed in the recipe or substitute what you have on hand. Vegetables like red bell peppers, yellow summer squash, and eggplant would also make good additions or substitutes.

Italian Chicken, Mushroom, and Zucchini Skillet
Yield: serves 4 - 6
1 lb. chicken breasts (cut in half) or tenderloins
2 squares Italian Herb Sauté Express® Sauté Starter
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 zucchini, cut in bite-size chunks
2/3 cup sundried tomatoes
2 15-ounce cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
In a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet, melt the Sauté Express® Sauté Starter over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Pat the chicken dry on both sides. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Turn and cook the other side until browned and the chicken is cooked through. While cooking, brush some of the Sauté Express® Sauté Starter on the side of the chicken facing up.
Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Add the olive oil to the pan. Over medium heat, sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic, zucchini and sundried tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. If using, stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Transfer the chicken back to the pan and spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over top of the chicken. Cook, covered, over the stovetop or in the oven at 350 degrees F until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is bubbling.
Disclosure: I've partnered with Land O'Lakes for an exclusive endorsement of Sauté Express® Sauté Starter. This blog post is sponsored by Land O'Lakes. All opinions are my own.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Ascletis said today it obtained exclusive rights from Assent R&D Ireland to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the next-generation HIV protease inhibitor (PI) TMC310911 in greater China, including mainland China and Macau. Johnson & Johnson's Janssen subsidiary will retain all rights in the rest of the world, and is eligible to receive royalties based on product sales in greater China.
"This licensing agreement for TMC310911 adds a third drug candidate in late-stage development to the Ascletis pipeline, which aims to provide innovative therapeutics for important medical needs in China," Jinzi J. Wu, Ph.D., Ascletis' president and CEO, said in a statement.
The other two are ASC-06 (ALN-VSP), a clinical-stage, first-in-class, systemically delivered RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of liver cancers that is being developed with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals; and ASC-08 (danoprevir), a clinical-stage hepatitis C protease inhibitor being developed with Roche. Earlier this month, Ascletis and Roche said they would collaborate to develop and commercialize Roche's investigational drug danoprevir in China for hepatitis-C virus.
"Based on research to date, we believe that TMC310911 has the potential to offer a new standard of care, especially for HIV-infected patients exhibiting multi-drug resistance to current PIs," Dr. Wu said.
Three clinical studies completed by Janssen, including a Phase IIa study, showed TMC310911 to have a favorable safety and tolerability profile and demonstrated clinical proof-of-concept in treatment naïve, HIV-positive patients. Published studies have also shown that TMC310911 offers a higher genetic barrier to the development of resistance than any existing HIV PIs; and exhibits broader activity against multi-PI resistant recombinant clinical isolates of HIV than any currently approved PI, including the current standard of care darunavir.
With operations at the National High Tech Industry Development Zone in Hangzhou, China, and at North Carolina's Research Triangle Park and Ascletis specializes in clinical development of medicines and commercialization for the growing Chinese pharmaceutical marketplace.
On its own, Ascletis is developing the cancer drug ASC-06 (ALN-VSP), which consists of two siRNAs designed to target a pair of genes involved in the growth and development of cancer cells: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and kinesin spindle protein (KSP), also known as eglin 5 (Eg5).

- grabbing NPCs and using them as shields. snapping their neck or throwing them, like in VCS, would be good.
- better wardrobe and a character customization system
- destructable environment; buildings etc.
- better weapons. Id like to see what was used in EFLC with a mix of San Andreas and VC. Hammers, flamethrowers, screw drivers, machetes, chainsaws, miniguns, sticky bombs, heat seekers, grenade launchers. For new weapons; cross bow, taser and pickupable objects such as bottles, poles, brooms and shovels to be used as a melee weapon.
Thats all i got for now
Tazers are not new weapons. But I do agree that they should be in GTA V, and honestly every GTA after 2. For some reason R* seems to refuse putting a tazer in to any recent game.
