7a Class: Okay… you just finished writing a nice newspaper for Crews. You are no expert but you do know about Crews enough to know what kids like and don't like about Crews. Now if you were able to make changes to Crews what would they be? Make a list of 3 -5 things you would like to see changed, improved, or implemented here at Crews that would make students learn better, enjoy school more or just be a good thing to try for a little while.
we could have more free days….also no snow makeup days.
I think Crews should have better lunches because the ones we ha ve right now are terrible!
I like Crews the way it is!
if we are to fix the socity of our public education we must first meet the needs of its students. We must fix tthe lunchs, improve learning classrooms, and bathrooms.
1. Go back to the original (NOT cheap) pizza from 6th grade.
3. Less days of school.
4. Charge less for ice cream.
I think at crewws we could use many things. The first thing i think we need is to have chick-fil-a every morning for breakfast. It is not like that is losing us money but it is making money. Also i think we need some new connections because it gets really boring haveing the same connections every year. And better lunches, defintally better lunches. The lunch here is not that good looking. like Chick-fil-a, or red lobster.
if i could improve Crews I would change the school hours to 9 to 2 pm, so the students will not be stressed! I would try and give the students more freedom, which includes little homework, no stressful tests, and easier classwork for the day!
To improve crews we could get better lunch. Lunch is very unappetizing at school. It has compelled some students to bring lunch to school from home which is a lot of work for parents.
I think our great school could be improved if students were allowed to choose their own connections. This way, students would be happier taking their preference. Also, we should be allowed to pick wherever we want to sit in the cafeteria. Sometimes friends aren't in our second period, and lunch is our only real time to talk freely. Lastly, I beleive the hard-working students attending this school are entitled to a ten minute fresh air break after lunch. It's no recess, but walking around outside for a little while refreshes our brains. Lunch is only 20 minutes anyway, not counting the time it takes to choose our meal from the variety offered in the cafeteria. In my opinion, these suggestions can definitely make our awesome school even better!
I think the Lunch menu should have more variety, and go back to serving the original pizza slices.
I think there could be some things improved at school. I think it would be better if Connections were A in the morning and B as the last class of the day. I think that would be better than going to connections all at once. I also think there should be recess on Fridays for 15 minutes. I think it would be good to get some fresh air after being in a classroom for 6 hours. Finally, some days students should have a study hall during the school day as there is no given evidence a studentb will study for a test. If those could be implemented here at Crews, it would make school much more enjoyable.
To improve Crews we can have no homework on any day of the week. We can do all of our work during class and spend the rest of our day when we get home doing whatever we want to do. For example, some people have sports to do after school and if they have homework they won't have time to do it if their sports takes up the rest of their day.
Instead of the cRCT in April, we will have a test at the end of the year in each class except math to see what you learned.IT doesnt count against. Also, I would like to change the school lunch menu. We can have ocal restaurant open up food stands in cafeteria so we will have more choices. Finally, gives students a 10-20 minute break during classes. WHY? So students can socalize more and not goof out that much in class.
The only thing that I think Crews should change is the pattern of days that we go to school. if we can go to school every other day rather than everyday the students and teachers would be able to work better after having a a whole day of relaxation. also the student and teachers will have more time to finish work that they may have brought home which lessens the pressure.
I think Crews should have more choices for lunch and a different scheldule.
To improve Crews I think during the week we should school every other day during the week.

Pokemon 3 - The Movie [VHS]
The most elaborate of the features to date, Pok¨¦mon 3: The Movie, Spell of the Unown introduces new Pok¨¦mon that debuted in the fall of 2000 in the Gold- and Silver-edition Gameboy games. En route to the Johto Tournament, Ash, Brock, and Misty visit the mountain village of Greenfield, where they encounter an 8-year-old girl named Molly. Her father, Professor Spencer Hale, disappeared when he set off to study the Unown, a group of 26 Pok¨¦mon that resemble letters. The Unown build a baroque crystalline shell around Molly's palatial home, send the leonine Entei to watch over her, and grant whatever she wishes--except the return of her father. What Molly really wants is a family: she refers to Entei as her father and has him kidnap Ash's mom to be her mother. Ash charges to the rescue with the help of Pikachu, Charizard, and Cyndaquil. In the climactic battle, Ash is joined by Brock and Misty, as well as the usually villainous Team Rocket. ("We figure if we don't help you, we're outta showbiz," Meowth explains.) Molly's father eventually reappears, but the viewer never sees the reunion with his daughter. Ash, Molly, and the other two-dimensional characters simply don't fit into three-dimensional, computer-generated crystal settings, and large sections of Pok¨¦mon 3 look like two movies unsuccessfully spliced together. A short is also included, "Pikachu and Pichu," in which the popular electric Pok¨¦mon wanders through a big city, getting into mischief with the mouselike Pichu brothers. --Charles Solomon
Awesome Movie, a must have!!
If you are an anime fan, you should buy this movie. I'm sure that many of you may think Pokemon is a childish, naive type of anime that's only for kids under age 10... however, Pokemon has more themes than just friendships even though it is not as sophisticated as Spirited Away...
Let me begin with graphics. I love the graphics in this anime, they are extremely detailed and varied in colours. There are scenes where 3D technologies are combined with 2D animations, they are rendered well, despite the fact that 2D is flat and 3D is more dimensional. Facial expressions are well reflected through characters' moods.
Next the sound. For North American anime fans, they know very well that almost every single anime is edited in some way so that the lip movements of characters fit the English voice acting. Well, you'd expect the same in Pokemon... As some of the earlier reviews point out, the Japanese version is longer in length and has more stuff to it; however, there is not a significant difference between the Eng and the Jap one. Personally I think the American voice actors and actresses for Pokemon have done a good job! They actually put their feelings and emotions into the anime to make it fit the overall atmosphere. (if you have seen Totoro's English version, that's what I call "bad voice acting"....) Some people hate the BGMs, because they are completely rewritten and recomposed. I love them, even they are miles away from the originals. The songs are cheerful and beautiful, "to know the unknown" for example.
Finally the story. Out of all 3 movies, this one is my favorite. The reason is because it teaches children and even adults lessons about love, loyalty, dreams, friendship, determination are intermixed in this film to make the story more complicated than most people expect. Every anime is childish in some way (except those blood lust ones), but every anime has its meanings and lessons about life incooperated inside... it's up to you to discover them.
Overall, Pokemon 3 is one of the best animes out there, it is not as childish as most people think, so get your hands on this great film before it becomes extinct in stores!!!...more info

The move starts out with The Movie Pickachu and the Pichu Brothers. Pikachu and Ash come to a building to rest.

Better Than The First Two
Short and sweet.This is the last movie kidswb dubbed 6 years ago.Its a whole lot better than the first movie and the movie 2000.But the werent bad i liked those two too.Huh theres alot of action sences in this see it if you havent yet most people were already detailed so thats why i dont want to say much....more info
I loved pokemon ever since it first came out and now a 3rd movie!It was actually better then the first two(even though lugia is my favorite pokemon)IT ROCKS.If the rating would go any higher,mine would be:9....thats alot,huh?Well i love pokemon no matter what!...more info
I liked it a lot!
I enjoyed Pokemon 3 a lot. It was good animation, it had pretty good comedy, and basically I just liked it. (I'm a big Pokemon fan. I usually like everything.) I also recommend Pokemon the Movie 2000....more info
Disapointed
I usually love anime (especially pokemon) but that movie was... just sad and I don't mean it was a particullarly sad plot but it was a sad atempt at a movie. I thought that the story exemplified childish ignorance and selfishness in the little girl. I also didn't like that girl didn't care if she had her real parents or not that she would just take Ash's mom and Entie(or however you spell it) as replacements. The fact that Entie was meerly a figment of her imgination was disapointing aslo. The 'Unknowns' I thought were the reasonless part that brought the whole story togather. But as anoying as it was it was slitly entertaining....more info
Almost as good as the first
In the third theatrical release of the Pokemon series, we are introduced to the "Unown" and their powers and abilities. This was almost as good as the first movie.
If you're unfamiliar with the basics, Pokemon (short for "POcKEt MONsters") are creatures a little like those from this world, but with strange and unusual powers and abilities that they use for their masters - masters that can be either good or evil. Ash and his friends train their Pokemon to fight battles with their enemies. They travel all over the planet to collect new and unusual types of Pokemon. They trap Pokemon in "Poke Balls" - a small device that hangs from a belt. When Ash's enemies release their Pokemon to do their work, Ash and his friends release their Pokemon, and they have a big battle.
The story revolves around Molly and her missing father. Molly's father had been involved in an archaeological expedition to find out more about the mysterious "Unown" - Pokemon that look like letters of the English alphabet. Molly's father accidentally falls victim to the Unown and his remaining work is shipped home. Molly finds the Unown blocks that her father unearthed and begins playing with them and accidentally activates their ancient powers. The Unown, sensing Molly's sadness, make Molly's dreams come true - her home becomes a crystal palace and they create a father figure for her - the enigmatic Entei, a lion-like Pokemon. As Molly's fantasy life becomes more real to her, the area that is affected by the conversion process started by the Unown grows. Soon it begins to threaten to engulf populated areas. Of course, Ash and company are nearby to help. Meanwhile, Molly expresses her desire to have a mother. Mysteriously, Entei responds by capturing Ash's mother and bringing her to the fantasy palace. Ash, along with his friends and Team Rocket (again) must stop the Unown and Entei before Molly's dreams become all too real.
This story is a fine addition to the Pokemon franchise. Its timeless story of what a little girl really wants if separated from her mother and father can foster discussions between parents and children. Molly, of course, finally understands what is important and the world returns to normal. This is possibly the most well done of the movies, although I liked the story and secondary plots of the first movie a little better. The art is top notch Anime at close to greatness, and the story finale with Molly making the final decisions, is not understated nor overstated.
There's also a Pikachu cartoon that younger fans of the TV show will enjoy.
Almost as highly recommended as the first Pokemon film, this deserves a place in a lot of home libraries and some school and counselor's (child psychologist's) collections....more info
Good movie for all kids!
The only complaint I have about this movie is that the short was so stupid! The other ones had a plot and were funnier, now this one is lame! The excitement starts 22 minutes into the movie after the short film (titled Pikachu and Pichu), with the actual feature (The Spell of the Unown or Unknown). Great visuals, beautiful colors, an OK soundtrack make this the viewing point. if I were you, I'd get your ticket 22 minutes into the film, skip the stupid and boring mini-movie! Great fun for kids and adults. The other mini movies ("Pikachu's Vacation" from the first movie, and "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure" from Pokemon 2000) were cute and funny!...more info
What a great childrens movie!!!!!
All along I thought the first movie was good! Until the second movie came out,witch was better. But when the third movie came out,it was the best!Those little Unown guys and all.IT'S THE BEST KIDS MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!...more info
My daughter was so,so excited about receiving this movie! It is one of her favorites. She is 7 years old....more info
It's good, but not great
Pokemon 3 is about the Unknown who feel sorry for a little girl who lost her family and so she instead creates this fantasy world where the legendary pokemon Entei is her best friend. WHen she craves a mother she sends Entei out, ironically enough Entei captures Ash mother. Ash then must go in and stop Entei and save his mother.
This movie unfortunatly suffered the same curse as the first with the story. Only instead of the story being a little to cutsey it's almost to dark. The little girl loses her family, then kidnaps someone elses parent. The action is good but unfortunatly the story is once again weak....more info
please Not Again!!
THE THIRD MOVIE WAS THE WORST MOVIE OF THE THREE.IT WAS ABOUT A GIRL WHO LOSES HER FATHER IN THE UNKNOWN AND SOLVES A PUZZLE IN WHICH A DOG-LIKE POKEMON GRANTS HER EVERY WISH.SHE STEALS ASH'S MOM AND THEY TRY AND GET HER BACK.THE ENTIRE MOVIE IS BASICALY A FANTASY WORLD WITH BORING BATTLE SEQUENCES.I WOULD GIVE IT 1 STAR.
EVERYONE WHO THINKS THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD,GET A HINT.HELLLLLOOOOO!!!THIS IS NOT THE GREATEST ANIME,IN FACT IT IS THE WORST ANIME.THERE ARE ANIME SHOWS I RECCOMEND TO YOU LIKE COWBOY BEBOP AND YU YU HAKUSHO WHICH PREMIER EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT AT 11 ON CARTOON NETWORK.RATHER THEN WACHING SHOWS LIKE BLUE SEED AND GUNDUM WING YOU ARE SITTING THERE WATCHING THIS......more info
This movie was totally cool!!!
I thought this movie was great!!! I'm not going to go into the whole summary, since every other reviewer has already done that for you. The only thing that I would change is that we see Molly being reunited with her father (and mother!!! for real!!) During the actual movie rather than during the credits. The only reason I knew it was there is because my sister likes to read the cast lists -_-' And for you people who wrote reviews that were against the movie, well, you shouldn't have watched it if you don't like Pokemon!!!!!! Plus, nobody who doesn't speak Japanese cares about how the Japanese version is. I'm sorry for flaming, but these reviews really tick me off!!!...more info
After you see this movie your'll find your self starting it over again. With the fun extra's on the menu it makes it a lot more fun and interesting this movie also has a free mini movie in front of it to get you into the right and fun frame of mind. If you liked the first too movies you'll not be disopponted with this, I conclude that if you like the Pokemon series and Movie series this is a must have for any fan....more info
GET JAPANESE VERSION
This movie rocked but it's so edited that it's not even worth to get
i own both verisons,the japanese and the US dvd, and what i can say is the japanese version is 10 min longer than the US version and you get it in 16.9 1.85.1 widescreen format.
In the US version they have changed the songs,bgm,names,dialog just simply everithing, without mentioning that in the US version they have removed all soundefect from the rear speakers,and in the japanese version you get also the US dub UNCUT on it,the japanese vesion may cost the double than the US version but it's worth it,that is because i gave just 1 star for this release
besides that all the movies and the series have been edited this way...more info
Sort of boring.....
The first two movies were okay, but this one was the boringest movie of all..........I wish they would released a subbed version of Pokemon on VHS and DVD....more info
The BEST movie they made
I saw the movie when it came and when I saw the info on it I thought that this had had to have been the best movie they had made and it was. If you have kids that are Pokemon fans I think you should take them to see this movie. It starts with Pikachu and Pichu. Pichu are brothers who meet Pikachu and Pikachu gets in trouble with this Pokemon that I dont know who it was. Then they get onto the movie and that was so cool to show all those new Pokemon that are not in the show. They really showed what this Pokemon are really like when they are in the wild. A MUST SEE MOVIE FOR KIDS ALL AGES!!!...more info
the best pokemon movie ever!!
this by far is the best pokemon movie ever!!!
it has a very beautiful yet sad story about a girl stuck in her dreams and having her everywish become true.the bad thing is that she doesnt know that the dreams that she dreams are becoming nightmares and fears.
great effects! :)...more info
Pok¨¦mon 3
I put five stars because i know the movie is going to be great, but i'd really rate it - because it's not out in vhs yet and your not selling it. I hope it comes out in vhs early, thanks!...more info
Pretty Faithful, but not as good as Original
Well, the movie itself is awesome. The art is beautiful, the music in the Japanese version is great, and the plot is superb.
The dub is the most faithful movie dub so far. However, there were some changes made. Kasumi's (Misty) great line, "I am Kasumi Yawa - the prettiest girl in the world!" was changed (so now we still don't know Misty's last name). Also, Mii's (Molly) mom was originally put in an insame asylum or something. She wasn't a missing researcher. And Mii originally said, "Your hand is so soft," instead of "I want things to be real again."
So, while at least the dub isn't a total rewrite like the first two movies, it did have a bit changed.
Nevertheless, I still recommend this movie. But, do me a favor, okay? Get the Japanese version of the movies. You probably won't understand a word unless you get fansubs, but you won't regret it. :)...more info
The third theatrical film for the Pokemon franchise
This release of the film includes the 20 minute short, "Pikachu and Pichu," that aired before the beginning of the film when it was screened in theatres; the short is also includes the introduction of the Pichu Brothers. However, you cannot choose to watch the short by itself; you have to select "Play" on the main menu in order to view it.
There ended up being six special features included on this DVD release. The first is a documentary called, "Making of 'To Know the Unknown'." It's about the girl group Innosense recording the song for the ending credits of the film. Unfortunately, the audio quality of the interview footage isn't the best.
You can also choose to watch a verion of the film with an audio commentary from the directors of the English dub. The "Johto Pokerap" is included; however, in my opinion, this Pokerap isn't anywhere near as good as the original Pokerap.
The theatrical trailer for the English dub of this film is included. There is also a Japanese trailer for the fourth Pokemon film; however, there are no subtitles, so if you don't know Japanese, you won't understand what's being said. Lastly, there is a text-only feature labeled, "Little Known Unown Facts." I thought this feature was a waste, because all of these facts come out during the course of the film.
Overall, Pokemon The Movie 3 is an enjoyable film. While there are some issues I have with the special features on this DVD, I would still recommend that this DVD should be in the collection of any Pokemon fan....more info
A Really Good Fairy Tale For Lovers of Pokemon
This is my official Pokemon movie review part 3 of 10. The Spell of the Unown, I don't like titles like that. I would have much rather preferred "Entei and the Mystery of the Unown," but hey, that's not my decision. I think this movie is a good one. I like the whole fairy tale aspect of it. It actually gets me in my creative mode. Entei was the first unreal pokemon, being that he was just a creation of the Unown and not the real Entei. I liked that Mrs. Ketchum had more of a role in this movie. I always thought they could do something more with her away from that horrible Mr. Mime. It's a good movie to watch when you're trying to clear your head....more info
Pokemon Rules
Another great film in the series of films released about the adventures of Ash and his friends....more info
BUYER BEWARE! I BOUGHT THIS ITEM AND GOT THE REAL DVD, BUT!!! THERE WAS NO COVER. NOW, I KNOW I BOUGHT IT USED! BUT IF THE SELLER WRITES "USED-LIKE NEW" AND DOESNT STATE THAT THERE ISNT A COVER, WHOS IN THE WRONG?...more info
To know the Unown...
This movie is the best Pokemon movie, after the first that is. I love both the soundtrack and the movie itself. I've watched it plenty of times, and still can't get enough of it!
Ash and friends arrive at what is supposed to be the most beautiful town anywhere, but are dissapointed to see a huge crystalized formation taking over a large mansion and moving towards the rest of the town. Ash must save a young girl who's unleashed the power of the Pokemon Unown. he must also find his way to where his mom has been taken inside the mansion. He battles a legendary Pokemon named Entei and travels through odd dimensions that are the dreams and wishes of the young girl, made real by the Unwon before he can rescue his mom and save the town.
I reccomend this movie to anyone, as it's a great family movie. I also think that the soundtrack should be purchased after seeing the movie so that you can hear the pop songs!...more info
I think All four Pokemon movies are so number 1 for I is the the number 1 fan they are so 1 I want all four movies for my DVD-ROM
And so What I want next is tickits to Japan. And I think all 4 are what I give rating is 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999!99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 stars....more info
One of the best Pokemon movies!!
Each Pokemon movie has something special about that the other ones don't have. I'd have to say that the first 1 is still the best, while Pokemon 2000 has it's really good parts. This movie's special parts are that that compared to the other movies and shows, the plot of this movie is intense, and way more exiting then the others. Also the moviez graphics is so great compared to the other movies itz ridiculous. I think this movie definetly haz its good partz for young audiences, but also older audiences will enjoy this too, and i don't care what other people have to say about the show, because in my opinion, u can be 95 years old, and still like pokemon. It's what we like, and nobody can tell us otherwiz!! Well, back to the subject, u should buy this video the 1st day it comes out if ur a big pokemon fan or not....more info
Best Pokemon movie yet!
Molly Hale lost her papa and mama while they were searching for "unown", a new type of pokemon. The Unown come to Molly and give her a "papa", which is actually a pokemon called Entei.
Ash and Company come to Springfield (the city where this movie takes place) to look for a pokemon center. But, they see the city of Springfield is covered by crystals and soon learns that pokemon is changing the landscape. Soon, Ash's mom is kidnapped, pokemon battles happen and Molly learns some things.
This is the best pokemon movie so far....more info
WAY BETTER THAN DIGIMON MOVIE!
Okay i suffered a lot with the first Pokemon film, but then, in the second film, i found it enjoyable, but this, this one it's truly very enjoyable,very mature story, great animation, quite very good music, but as many people say here the short stinks!, this film it's way funnier and way better than that digigarbage ot that Monster Rancher, but this is the kind of film that i will go to see to the cheap cinema or to the mall cinema, also let me tell you that the god of animation, Hayao Miyazaki, co directed and co writed the film, believe it or not, it's just that they didn't give him, credit, well, this along with Spy Kids it's one of the best children's films of the year....more info
Is there even a point to this movie?!
HELLO! Pokemon is like, the most annoying thing that's come out since...since...oh, I don't know! All I know is that everything about Pokemon is completely annoying and if you are over 12 years old, then it should be avoided at all costs! This movie makes me barf. And that little "cute" Pikachu is so annoying. Agh! Pokemon makes me scream! I hate all Japaneese animation because while it may look all cute and everything, it is really bad animation. Also, when the characters speak, their mouths move way too fast and they talk way too fast, too. This movie isn't even worth taking your kids to see...you'll be too embarrassed being there to even sit straight up in your seat! All this movie's about is fighting, fighting, fighting. Fighting over what? There really is no point to this movie! Is there even a a real script? Who cares if the little fuzzy furrballs are cute? I think they're horrible-looking creatures from Planet Hell. It is totally unrealistic and is just a way to kill time and to get your kids to shut up for a few hours. So I guess it is good for that. But besides that, please, please, PLEASE don't waste your money on this annoying [stuff]! While the kids may like it, teens and adults will find it rather embarrassing and horrible. If you're over 12 years old and you like Pokemon, then there is something terribly wrong with you! Have you gone for a brain check-up recently? Maybe you should if you're over 12 years old and liked this movie!...more info

Sir Archie Reuben Louis Michaelis (19 December 1889 – 22 April 1975) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1932 to 1952, representing the electorate of St Kilda for the United Australia Party and its successor. the Liberal Party.

Early life
Michaelis was born in St Kilda into a wealthy Jewish family who owned the successful leather tannery Michaelis, Hallenstein & Co. The family home was the historic mansion Linden on Acland Street, now a contemporary arts centre. He attended Wesley College and Cumloden School in St Kilda, until 1903 when his family took him to England to be educated at Harrow School.

In 1908, Michaelis returned to Melbourne, where he began working for the family business, and in 1912 he returned to England to work in the company's London office. He was in England when World War I broke out, and he immediately enlisted in the British Army, serving with the Honourable Artillery Company in the Middle East and in 1916 was commissioned in the Royal Field Artillery in which he served in Ireland and Greece.

Political career
At the 1932 Victorian election, Michaelis was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly representing the seat of St Kilda for the United Australia Party (later to become the Liberal Party). He was made a minister without portfolio in Ian MacFarlan's "stop-gap" ministry from October to November 1945.

In June 1950, Michaelis was elected Speaker of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. He was knighted in the 1952 New Year Honours. In October 1952, he was one of six members of the Victorian parliament who made affidavits to Liberal and Country Party leader Les Norman that they had been offered financial and political incentives by representatives of Thomas Hollway, a disaffected  MP and former Premier of Victoria, who needed parliamentary support for a planned motion of no-confidence against the governing Country Party led by John McDonald. Michaelis stated that he had been approached by a man named Raymond Ellinson, who offered him the position of Agent-General, another term as Speaker, and immunity from opposition in the next election. A Royal Commission was established to investigate the charges against Hollway, but it was postponed indefinitely on a legal technicality and never reconvened. In the subsequent state election in December 1952, Michaelis was defeated by the Labor Party candidate John Bourke, and retired from politics.

Former New Mexico lab chimps one step closer to federal sanctuary
Griffin Rushton | KOB
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – More than two dozen former lab chimps in New Mexico are one step closer to living out their remaining days in sanctuary.
"We've decided we don't need to use them anymore in medical research. I mean, they deserve a life like they had before we captured them or bred them," said Leslie Rudloff, an attorney with Animal Protection New Mexico.
On Friday, a U.S. District Court judge in Maryland ruled the National Institutes of Health does not have authority to decide if former lab chimps are healthy enough to be transferred to Chimp Haven – a federally-run sanctuary in Louisiana. The judge referenced the CHIMP Act, which requires the NIH to relocate all former lab chimps to Chimp Haven – a federally-run sanctuary in Louisiana.
According to a roster from May 2022, there are still 30 former lab chimps living in a facility on Holloman Air Force Base.
"They're in the same conditions they were in, in the same place they were in when they were tested upon," said Rudloff. "They don't know that tomorrow, somebody's not going to come and draw their blood or do a biopsy on them, you know, they're still in that same place."
The NIH officially ended the use of chimps in laboratory testing in 2015. By 2018, 94 chimpanzees were safely transported from Alamogordo to Chimp Haven; however, the NIH decided to keep 44 chimps at the base because they were reportedly not healthy enough to travel.
"They're sitting in basically almost like jail cells at the Air Force base," Rudloff said. "They're doing time for crime they didn't commit."
Since that decision, 14 of the chimps have died or were euthanized. Rudloff believes many of the chimps – 19 of whom are over 40 years old – are suffering from diseases that come with old age.
"Chimpanzees, as they age, are susceptible to the same diseases we are – high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, these sorts of chronic conditions," Rudloff said. "That's exactly why we want them transferred to the sanctuary, because they're in a better position to care for these chimpanzees and their disease."
Animal Protection New Mexico filed a lawsuit to transfer the chimps in January 2021. Friday's ruling was a result of that lawsuit, but it's not the only attempt to relocate the chimps.
Most recently, Sen. Martin Heinrich introduced a bill in March 2022 to relocate the – 34 at the time — chimps to the sanctuary.
"The sacrifice that they made — and let's say wasn't willing — they were captured, sent to a laboratory to do these horrible medical tests for decades," Rudloff said. "Ethically, I think, as a human race, we owe that to them for being mistaken thinking that that could maybe help humans, we owe them a great life."
The judge's ruling requires Animal Protection New Mexico — and other activist groups — to develop a plan forward by Jan. 13.
Rudloff says the goal is to relocate all the remaining chimps, but they are still working out the details.

We've got start and end dates, and we'd like to generate a list of dates in between.
How would you create a set of dates that are within a user-defined range using T-SQL?
Over the years, commentators asked that my answer be fixed, as it was not totally corrected.
So I took the time to check the SQL statement on all versions of SQL Server that I could access, 2008, 2012, 2016, and the result was always correct.
However, I also looked at the internal stored procedures, and found that the access master..spt_values with a condition WHERE type=, instead of WHERE name is NULL.
However, as I tried to analyze the code that MSSQL internally when querying from spt_values, I found that the SELECT statements always contain the clause WHERE [type]='[magic code]'.
There may be a future version of SQL Server which defines a different [type] value which also has NULL as values for [name], outside the range of 0-2047, or even non-contiguous, in which case the result would be simply wrong.
However, I recently came across a problem when a customer tried to deploy a T-SQL database I had developed to Azure, and reported that Azure does not support querying master..spt_values, because it does not allow cross-database queries.
So on to the internets and see what solutions people come up with.
During research, I often came across mentions of "14 different solutions" to enumerate dates or integers, pointing to http://www.projectdmx.com/tsql/tblnumbers.aspx, a site which is long gone. Fortunately, it is backed up in the Wayback Machine, dated 20120620.

1.5GHz Dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 Runs the Full Benchmark Gamut, Impressive Even Without Their Next-gen GPU
Kellen February 21, 2012 @iamkellex 37
The crew over at Anandtech got a hold of a developer unit from Qualcomm that runs their Snapdragon S4 processor, aka the Krait, and put it through a series of benchmarks. This is the MSM8960 chipset that is dual-core and clocked at 1.5GHz. So no, this isn't the quad-core Krait that we will potentially see later this year, but none the less, you will likely be impressed since they have been designed for 28nm process. That essentially means that they will perform at incredibly high levels while consuming very little power when compared to other chipsets (current Tegra 3 is still 40nm). This is the future of processors even if this particular chipset is only dual-core. Don't let the lack of "quad" attached fool you.
One of the first benchmarks they ran was the a Linpack multi-threaded benchmark which may put your jaw to the floor. Yeah, it's that impressive. The next closest device is the Qualcomm developer unit from last year that ran a Snapdragon S3. The Galaxy SII and DROID 4 (which is surprising) are the closest retail devices. And again remember, this is only a dual-core processor, yet it doubles the performance of every other dual-core device on the list.
The only area that the Snapdragon S4 did not blow minds was in GPU tests. Since it includes an Adreno 225 GPU rather than Qualcomm's next-gen Adreno 300+, it's not all that surprising that it didn't blow away the iPhone 4S. The difference between the 225 and the 220 that you have seen in a number of Snapdragon S3 devices, is really just a speed bump. It still performs better than any other phone currently available, but it's the next Krait releases that we will really see the GPU performance jump off the charts.
We are supposed to see phones with the Snapdragon S4s ship within the quarter. Rumors have it that the HTC Ville could be the first, a device that we are fully expecting to see at MWC in a week. Don't think that because HTC has tossed a Tegra 3 into the Endeavor that they will abandon their lenghty partnership with Qualcomm. And don't even think about snoozing on the Ville because it says "dual-core" if indeed it does have the S4 inside.

The Pete Santilli phenomenon
http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/09/25/congress-moves-to-outlaw-the-alternative-media/
Congress Moves To Outlaw the Alternative Media | Dave Hodges – The Common Sense Show
The alternative media is having a dramatic impact on the worldview of the country, so much so, that the US Senate is legislating against the only objective media left in the country.
It is a well known fact that Senator Diane Feinstein wants your guns and now she wants control over your words. Feinstein believes that a proposed media shield law should be applied only to those she refers to as "real reporters." Feinstein chastises other reporters as being "basement-dwelling, pajama-clad bloggers with no professional credentials"
At issue is that the government could soon decide who is a journalist and who is not. Feinstein introduced an amendment, to Senate bill 558, that defines a "covered journalist" as someone who gathers and reports news for "an entity or service that disseminates news and information." The definition includes freelancers, part-timers and student journalists, and it permits a judge to go further and extend the protections to any "legitimate news-gathering activities." In the definition introduced in
Feinstein's amendment, somebody writing for a small town paper with a circulation of 30 would receive First Amendment protections, but quality news people such as Steve Quayle, John Stadtmiller, Jeff Rense, Doug Hagmann, Stan Deyo, Michael Edwards, Alex Jones, George Noory and Matt Drudge would not be considered journalists and therefore, the First Amendment would not apply to this group of aforementioned newsmen. With the passage of this amendment, our sources would not be privileged and many of our sources would dry up.
But Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper can take bribes from the CIA to not cover certain stories, yet Feinstein thinks they deserve protection as authentic journalists. Award winning journalist, Amber Lyon, quit CNN because of the CIA and CNN's complicity in obfuscating the truth from the American people, for a price. Obviously, journalistic integrity means nothing to someone like Feinstein.

Frankenstein is so morally repulsive I think she and santilli should be caged together like the rats they are.
This was an absolutely fascinating program that you had the courage to do, Dr. Fetzer, and THANK YOU FOR DOING IT!

Regarding the on air Judy Wood discussion:
1] Ms Wood has misrepresented the N.O.A.A. data concerning the position of Hurricane Erin relative to NYC on 911, to the extent of via her own self-composed data spreads, deliberately mislabeling data points to "prove" her theory, and...
2] the complete ignoring by her of a far larger natural weather phenomena that fully explains Erin's "strange" [to her] movements on 911.

Amazing interview. I heard the original pete santilli/fetzer interview and almost ripped my hair out.. The best part was Jim's off air rants. Fantastic. Then later that day santilli the douche replayed the interview with Jim's mic at half volume with added distortion. Totally pathetic!
Alex jones called it. He knew santilli was a fed. Thanks vinnie for despising to fight back!!'n
Well, it takes one to know one. Obvious shills like Santilli make shills like Jones look good.
Oh geez. I don't like things about Alex but the guy believes everything he's saying and no one has better framed the agenda in which we all should resist.
Wrong, wrong and wrong. He does not believe his own bullshit and no one has done a greater disservice to these issues by steering people who question 9/11 and other events into hard right wing idiocy. Koch Brothers/John Birch Society owned to the core.
Freudian slip 'deciding'
Jup, like I said back then, go check if you dont believe me Santilli, Wood, Celtic Rebel, Dallas Goldbug are all Feds in the same program to infiltrate truth movemet. And as I predicted Santilli would expose himself by calling for violence. Damn Im good!
I'm still not convinced Judy is a fed. Just a little socially retarded. Her book is amazing and still allows deep analysis for all theories. Again the fuming thing hasn't been resolved by the mini nuke theory. I believe , knowing the military, they threw everything at the buildings. Thermite, mini nuke and some sort of energy weaponry to possibly to destroy the debri that would have been created by the event as it happened. Peace!
Wood never wrote that book, she cant even recall whats in it. It is a psyop, a false lead. Like the hologram nonsense.
Well I've read it twice and it's f*cking fascinating.
Yes, but is it true?
Seriously the exploding Scott packs, the fuming, all the cars and the lack of heat. Not to mention the jumpers compelled to leap from a building naked. Why a psyop would so deeply open up these things I think would be quite counterproductive.
All video fakery, Judy's job is to hide the truth, no matter what.. And if a fancy theory about beams keeps a bunch of people from getting there then she still earns her pay cheque. Same with the rest of the shills
The buildings were video fakery?
Come on dude. Maybe the planes but the rest real.
Since you mention the jumpers, you could start there. They are twice the size of the 7 foot window panes. They don't act like jumpers in real fires, you expect they would reluctantly have no choice but to let go of a window ledge because of the heat or smoke. Instead they take world record leaps any Olympian would be proud of.
The super sharp photos and videos taken by the amateur photographers are way too convenient to take seriously, considering the jumpers were suppose to be coming from 70+ stories high.
Have you ever been to NYC? Or been in a tall building? Your framing f a point is really hollow.
I had probably been to the top of the World Trade Center 10 or more times. And for 3 years lived with it as the landscape view outside my front door. What your saying doesn't necessarily resolve a point. No offense but it's really vague. If you experience the scale if those buildings you realize if you fell from one those things you could end up blocks away. Looking from the observation deck was the craziest thing to experience. Your sense of vertigo would blow your mind even imagining how chaotic it would have been to fall from that height. It's very conceivable that you would fly around that thing like a leaf in the breeze if you even got close to the edge.
stevie.t November 12, 2013 at 11:13 AM
Also if you read Judy's book. She supposes they were forced from the building like being expelled from a microwave like a hot dog wrapped in a wet paper towel. If you've ever seen the footage of the many people hanging out of it swirling their clothing like flags, you can see the smoke emitting from their eye sockets and faces. They're literally disintegrating. The smoke isn't coming out the windows around them it's coming from them. It's fucking gross/crazy. You should google that shit. There's even a vid of a person being expelled from a window like a cork out if a champaign bottle. And it's not video fakery. It's hardcore.

I think Jewdy Wood has a problem with anyone who is publicly vocal that Israel played a major role on 9/11...
Don't blame the Jews for what the zionists did.
All jews are inherently evil,but if you want to play the zionist card Netanyahu just stated in Geneva that he speaks for all the jews of the world. 14/88
Everyone on this show agreed that Gordon Duff has never said anything they think is bull. Well, he said once he could call Vladimir Putin and have an American city nuked. Jim, man are you gullible!!
I listened to one Santilli broadcast, a recording embedded in Dr. Fetzer's VT article regarding the interview of Dr. Morgan Reynolds as a guest of Santilli in, I believe, January of 2013. I agree with Dr. Fetzer's interpretation of that disgusting interview.
Early in that recording Santilli was saying how Dr. Wood had told him how it was Dr. Morgan Reynolds who was the one who did the most to get her ideas out. What a joke! It was Dr. Fetzer and no other.
Santilli impressed me as simply a con artist and self promoter. However, Vinny's comments about Santilli being a psychopath rang true to me. Seems the FBI might want to think twice about hiring a psychopath. I understand psychopaths have a lot of rage and some can channel it so they end up the heads of large corporations and some are not so good at channeling and end up in prison, usually heinous violent crime for which they have zero remorse. I ran across something on the web a long time ago where Dr. Reynolds had been working for some private think tank and had occasion to deal with psychopaths in prison and wrote articles about psychopath behavior I find it odd that Dr. Reynolds apparently heard the infamous interview of Dr. Fetzer by Santilli and must have liked what he heard and so consented (arranged?) to being a guest on the show. Seems like Dr. Reynolds would have been able to detect the apparent personality disorder of Santilli and would have wanted no part of Santilli or his show. Soon after the show Dr. Reynolds did with Santilli, Santilli had to start his own network to have his own radio show , and Dr. Reynolds signed on immediately as a show host on a separate new show on that network, very odd behavior indeed. Why would he want to associate his and Dr. Wood's 9-11 work with a character like Santilli?
I'm totally with Susanne Posel in that we should focus on that fax letter. A transcript of that photo of that fax letter needs to be posted as part of the text of an article by Susanne on her site. I think that is "bombshell", surefire PROOF that Santilli is in the employ of the FBI. I do not recall in many long years of being in the conspiracy corner any of us ever having such solid incontrovertible proof. We need to take that ball and run with it. To me Santilli is not an "alleged" informant, he is a paid FBI operative. His FBI purpose is probably to stir up the alternative truth seeking entities and cause some big trouble for all alternative sites, huge blow to First Amendment. Joan Edwards posted a link above to a Dave Hodges story showing just how alternative media is the target of a current U.S. senate bill.
It's beginning to look like Dr. Wood Dr. Reynolds want to harm the alternative media too, but my main concern about them is that they deliberately chose to associate themselves with someone of such obvious dubious character. No way that can help the promotion of Dr. Wood's directed energy weapons THEORY?
A few times during this interview it was said that Gordon Duff was the person who decided to take down the Stew Webb article about Santilli from VeteransToday. I believe that is true but not for the reason Vinny postulated. I believe Gordon Duff thinks it is more important to maintain his relationship with Jeff Rense of Rense.com and Rense Radio Network than to expose Pete Santilli working for the FBI. Pete Santilli has a regular show on the Rense Radio and I believe Duff is a frequest guest of Rense. I am going to withdraw from visiting VeteransToday and Rense.com until I see that this strong evidence that Santilli is FBI makes Santilli disappear from the web. ( I have received an email from Stew Webb wherein he states that it was he himself who made the decision to take down the article, but I knew that was not true and probably just means Stew was under coercion by Duff.)
Please keep us updated about this most important matter.
these three have gone full retard

- Educate oneself about different identities and experiences.
- Challenge one's own discomfort and prejudices.
- Learn and practice the skills of being an ally.
- Take action to create interpersonal, societal and institutional change.
Be self-aware. This means knowing who we are and what we believe.
Know about the issues. This includes basic facts, statistics, laws, policies etc.
Be open. Allies promote respect, they acknowledge and celebrate differences.
Take action. Allies share what they know and realise that to change society they must take a stand for human rights.
Allies offer support and share a common interest in the cause of those they are allied with. In social justice issues, being an ally to another person or group of people is a key component in challenging oppression and privilege.
When people form an alliance to speak out against prejudice and discrimination, people who are the target of that prejudice are not the only ones who benefit. All of us, regardless of our identity, benefit when any of us take steps toward eliminating prejudice and discrimination in our society. We all benefit from our collective efforts to create a better educated and more understanding world that treats each of us with dignity, respect, and equality.
Being an ally is more than being sympathetic towards those who experience discrimination. It is more than simply believing in equality. It means being willing to act with and for others in pursuit of ending oppression and creating equality.

Why You Should Slack Off to Get Some Work Done
Author: Clive ThompsonClive Thompson
Zohar Lazar
How much do you slack off at work?
If you're the average white-collar drone, the odds are it's an astonishing amount. A 2015 survey by a UK firm asked 1,989 office workers how many hours they spent "productively working" each day. The average: A paltry two hours and 53 minutes. The rest of those eight-hour workdays consisted of kicking back: checking social media, reading news, or talking to friends.
Viewed one way, this is absolutely dismal. We're supposed to live in the age of 24/7 "crushing it," right? We're the Adderall generation! Sleep is for the weak!
Ah, but maybe these employees subconsciously understand something about the nature of work. Science is increasingly finding that there's enormous value in working much less each day—and relaxing far more. It might even be the secret to true productivity.
Consider the lives of some of history's most accomplished people. When Alex Pang, author of Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, examined these folks' daily schedules, he was surprised to find they formally worked for about ... four hours a day. Darwin, for example, would beaver away for three or four hours in the morning, then knock off for the afternoon, maybe take a long stroll, write some letters, and top it off with a nap. He'd do another 90 minutes before dinner, then call it a day. Still, he cranked out On the Origin of Species, an imaginative breakthrough that transformed science. What the hell?
"It turned out that all these people went on long vacations and did hobbies, and their daily lives were a lot more leisurely than ours," Pang tells me. A 1951 study of scientists and technologists found the most productive ones worked 10 to 20 hours a week in the office, though they also worked some at home.
A languid pace can produce terrific results because rest allows us to gather our resources. Those long walks and hours pursuing hobbies breed deep reflection and creativity. And midafternoon naps? They're cognitive gold, as Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at UC Irvine, has found. "They improve alertness, help consolidate information you learned earlier, and help with emotional regulation," she says.
Even a bit of procrastinating has its advantages. Being a moderate procrastinator may simply be your mind's way of demanding more space and time—or of focusing on things that really matter, which may not be Task No. 1 glaring at you balefully from atop your to-do list. (Philosopher John Perry calls this "structured procrastination.")
One cautionary point: Pro-leisure science does not give permission to trance out on Twitter or graze Netflix endlessly. Because, hey, all those superproductive folks who worked four hours a day didn't just park their brains during their off-hours. No, they hiked athletically, played instruments, painted, and chatted with friends in pubs. They were engaged in what Pang calls "active rest." Perhaps this was easier in a time before Facebook feeds. Their leisure was regenerative because it was woven of intentional activity, stimulating the mind and the spirit.
Still, this is good news about leisure, yes? If only we could act on it! It's not easy; workplace culture rebels against it, being governed as it is by the Puritan work ethic. ("There will be sleeping enough in the grave," as Benjamin Franklin liked to say.) This bursty style of work is hard to square with the demands of service jobs. And even in white-collar offices, the standard is to keep everyone's butt in the chair for eight hours a day.
Until we crack that nut, we'll spend our leisure hours in the same meager and unproductive way we do now—zoning out, online, in our cubicles.

Had to go with the Reuben. Normally, pastrami is fatty and chewy, but this meat was super-tender and amazing. The price seemed a little high at first, but the portions are huge (two whole pickles, if you're into that sort of thing) and I don't know if they keep Reuben's pre-made in the back (it tasted right off the grill), but our order came to the table in less than 5 minutes. Wow!

Cervical Cancer: paradigms at home and abroad - National Cancer Institute
NCI Perspective
Cervical Cancer: paradigms at home and abroad
Cervical cancer, a disease that will affect more than 12,000 women in the United States this year and more than a half million women worldwide, leads to significantly fewer deaths when effective early detection methods are available, either via a Pap smear or with a test for presence of the human papilloma virus (HPV). However, such tests aren't readily available to many women in low-resource settings, and even for those women with access to health care services, compliance with recommendations for testing is not assured. For example, among women with access to care, 50 percent of those who developed invasive cervical cancer had not been screened three years prior to their diagnoses. Until screening usage is widespread in all populations and incidence rates drop dramatically, there will be far too many deadly cases of this disease, and these cases will more likely be found in women from low-resource settings, both domestically and abroad.
If cervical cancer is caught sufficiently early, it often can be cured. Conversely, for those women who present with late-stage disease, there remains a need for better therapies. At this year's plenary session at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago on June 2, 2013, issues related to cervical cancer were front and center. NCI was a large part of this discussion, having sponsored a clinical trial that will have an important impact on the treatment of late-stage disease, and also having funded a screening trial in India using a network of community outreach workers to offer low tech-screening by direct visualization of the cervix coated with dilute acetic acid (vinegar), a process known as VIA.
Cervical cancer microvessel density showing blood supply to tumor
Discussants for the findings presented at ASCO were Ted Trimble, M.D., director of NCI's Center for Global Health, and for the screening trial, Sarah Kobrin, Ph.D., program director in the Process of Care Branch of the Behavioral Research Program, NCI. Trimble and Kobrin traveled to India to meet with a team of doctors, nurses, and community health workers, as well as two patients who had been in the trial (Reference: "Effect of visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) screening by primary health workers on cervical cancer mortality: A cluster randomized controlled trial in Mumbai, India," by Surendra Srinivas Shastri, M.D., of Tata Memorial Hospital, India, and colleagues).
Commonly used in the U.S. and higher-resource countries, the Pap smear is a relatively sophisticated test that requires trained cytologists to examine the cells retrieved from the cervix and consistently identify samples that are abnormal. Shastri's study looks at the less sophisticated technique of VIA that relies on direct visualization of the cervix after it is swabbed with vinegar. His challenge was not only to identify a test that works, but also to find a method to get the test to women in communities where health care facilities and transportation may present challenges.
In the trial, local health workers and community residents were identified and trained to provide VIA to women who needed screening. More than 75,000 women from 10 communities had multiple rounds of VIA. The screened women were compared to over 76,000 women from 10 similar communities where women were informed about cancer risks and the available screening facilities, were given vouchers for free cervical cancer screening at Tata Memorial hospital, but were not offered the outreach system with VIA performed by community health workers. The trained outreach workers also helped ensure that women with abnormalities were escorted to Tata Memorial hospital, where they underwent re-examination with colposcopy (which uses a tool to provide an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix) and then received appropriate diagnostic testing and treatment. The findings from this study showed that the community screening group had a 31 percent reduction in death due to cervical cancer, which is significant.
The success of this trial in reducing death can be attributed to the combination of the VIA test and the outreach system Shastri's team developed. Interim results from this study were published in the International Journal of Cancer (Reference: "A cluster randomized, controlled trip of breast and cervical cancer screening in Mumbai, India: methodology and interim results after three rounds of screening." 2010:126:976-84. Indraneel Mittra, Gauravi A Mishra, et al). Other studies that incorporated the VIA test did not show such positive results, perhaps because they had different systems of follow-up.
In Western populations, new cases of cervical cancer are not frequently seen at an advanced stage because early-stage detection is much more common and effective, via either a Pap smear or HPV test. Where not identified at an early, curable stage, cervical cancer can spread locally and into distant organs. Advanced cervical cancer is difficult to treat and is life-shortening for the generally young women who are diagnosed with it. At ASCO, Trimble also discussed key findings of an NCI-supported clinical trial (Reference: "Incorporation of bevacizumab in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer: A phase III randomized trial of the Gynecologic Oncology Group"). Preliminary results from this trial were announced by NCI in February 2013 (see http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/newsfromnci/2013/GOG240).
Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a drug designed to bind to the VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) protein. Bevacizumab may block a tumor's ability to tap into nearby blood vessels and may prevent the tumor from connecting to the blood supply it needs for continued growth. This Gynecologic Oncology Group study used bevacizumab, along with other conventional chemotherapy agents, in women with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer that was not curable. The trial compared women who received bevacizumab plus chemotherapy with those who received chemotherapy alone and found those who received bevacizumab had lower mortality, with a nearly four month longer survival. This is a significant survival advantage for an advanced cancer that can progress rapidly.
Specifically, a total of 452 patients in the United States and Spain with metastatic, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer not curable with standard treatment were enrolled between 2009 and 2012. The trial was designed to answer two questions. First, it looked at two combinations of chemotherapy drugs, in an attempt to determine whether topotecan in combination with paclitaxel was superior to cisplatin and paclitaxel in combination. The study then examined whether the addition of bevacizumab to either regimen improved overall survival.
Patients who received bevacizumab lived a median 3.7 months longer than those who did not receive bevacizumab. Progression free survival, meaning that after treatment the disease did not worsen, was 8.2 months for those who received bevacizumab vs. 5.9 months for those who received chemotherapy alone. However, patients receiving bevacizumab experienced more side effects than those who did not. These side effects were consistent with side effects previously known to be associated with bevacizumab and included hypertension, neutropenia (a low white blood cell count), and thromboembolism, or formation of blood clots. Quality of life during the trial was also measured and there were no significant differences reported between those who received bevacizumab and those who received chemotherapy alone.
"This is welcome news, as progress has been very difficult against this cancer, and GOG physicians and patients who participated have made an important contribution," said Jeff Abrams, M.D., clinical director of NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis.
The trial in India of acetic acid and the trial in the United States of bevacizumab would seem, on the surface, to be unrelated. The facts are more nuanced. Vinegar is inexpensive but bevacizumab, like many advanced chemotherapy agents, is relatively expensive. Visualization of the cervix using acetic acid to improve early diagnosis combined with effective patient assistance and appropriate follow-up can make a difference in places where cervical cancer is the leading cause of women's cancer and women's cancer deaths. Bevacizumab is an option for therapy of already advanced disease.
"NCI's hope is that the research reported at ASCO this year with acetic acid visualization will ultimately make the need for use of bevacizumab and chemotherapy agents, as well as for studies in advanced cervical cancer, a much reduced occurrence," said Elise Kohn, M.D., head of the gynecologic program in NCI's Clinical Investigations Branch.


The world currently has an estimated 6,775,235,741 population, up from an estimated 3,031,720,298 population in 1960. A large measure of being able to feed this large population is food preservation.Think of how much additional food volume we would need if not for food preservation. Think of how many times you go to the grocery store to purchase bread. If the bread went moldy after a day or two instead of a week or more, how much moldy bread would you be throwing away?
As for food preservatives with fancy names that often get bashed. Think of how much energy it saves the world. Bacon can cost anywhere from $3.00 to $12 or more per pound. The $3/lb. bacon most likely uses preservatives that are not natural while the more expensive bacon probably uses a more traditional method during manufacture. The $3/lb bacon consumes less energy based on how long it takes to make compared to the more expensive bacon. If everyone was only allowed to consume the more expensive bacon, think of how many more bacon factories there would be needed. Each factory would consume energy and resources that could be saved with the continued use of chemical process and preservatives.
Food preservation isn't just a question of should we or shouldn't we be eating it. It's more of a question of how do we feed over 6 billion people without it. I'm guessing the people trashing food preservation haven't thought of it much in those terms.
