| Not Worth The Shot?
He believes the impurities result from frequently invading the closed circulatory system with injections. You damage the fragile cells which then die and appear as distortions in the DNA and RNA, he explains. According to El-Bishlawi, patients undergo routine blood tests, which are required by companies in the Gulf, and then they are told they have HCV. They exhibit no symptoms, do not feel anything, but are told they have a life-threatening disease. It is a mafia that aims at draining Egyptians of their health and money. They say Egypt is the country with the highest rates of HCV in the world. They do this to make us look bad, and then make money in the process, he alleges. And then they tell us it will cause cirrhosis and cancer in the far future. But that would be because of bilharzia, and not HCV.
Inqlings: Booker: Rumors are wrong
Q102 morning man Chris Booker yesterday shot down a New York Post item that said he's considering "two lucrative radio deals and a major TV gig" in New York. Booker, under contract here till May 2009, told me that he believes that the Post blurb, attributed to "industry sources," was inspired by an anonymous posting on a blog. (The Internet is an industry, right?) He also denied another unattributed rumor, on the blog Orbitcast.com last week, that he was telling people he would take over mornings at New York radio station WXRK when Opie & Anthony's contract expires. "All I know [about the alleged job offers] is what I read about on the Internet," Booker said, seemingly relieved that my questions did not involve girlfriend Alycia Lane. Booker, now modeling on "Got Milk" billboards, acknowledges that he's in the market for TV appearances that he can fit around his day job; he recently wrapped work for TV Guide Channel.
'E911' Turns Cell Phones into Tracking Devices
Cell phones will be taking on a new role in 1998, beginning a slow transition to becoming user tracking devices. The outcome of this shift reassures some, but has others calling for restrictions on how cell-locating information can be used. The impending first phase of the FCC's rules is aimed at enabling emergency services personnel to quickly get information on the location of a cell phone user in the event of a 911 call. By April, all cellular and personal communications services providers will have to transmit to 911 operators and other "public safety answering points" the telephone number and cell site location of any cell phone making a 911 call. The aim of the law is to bring to cell phone users the same automatic-locating capability that now exists with wireline phones.
Oscar Events
It was my first time seeing the film, which has been on the festival circuit since Telluride back in September. I don't think I can even begin to qualify it. I'm pretty sure it's an undeniable work of art, but beyond that, I need time to let it soak in and, most assuredly, I'll need another viewing. I didn't even mosey over to Haynes during the reception because, quite frankly, I have no idea what I would have said to him. In any case, my opinion isn't what's important. What IS important is how floored the viewers in attendance were. There was even a cryer. Yeah, a cryer. Michael Mann was in attendance, said he enjoyed the film, and spent quite a while making the rounds during the reception. Most enthusiastic, however, was Ben Foster, who could not contain his sheer glee, not only at "I'm Not There," but at what he calls a "great year for movies." He had recently come from seeing the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men," which had him on a high to go along with the Chivas Regal he was throwing back.
NHL around the league notebook
Slowly, as the Chicago Blackhawks continue to improve, the fans are coming back to cheer on the Original Six club.
Wednesday night's 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators drew a crowd of 20,511- the first sellout of the season at the United Center.
The win was Chicago's fourth in a row.
"There's confidence in the locker-room, no matter who's in the lineup," Nikolai Khabibulin told the Chicago Tribune as the 'Hawks played without injured star winger Martin Havlat.
"In a game like tonight we didn't play our best game but we made the big plays when we really needed it. As soon as they scored a goal we got one right back, they scored another one, we got it right back. The guys are playing with a lot of confidence."
Chicago took another hit though, as defenceman James Wisniewski injured a knee in a fight and will be out for four to six weeks.
Rising above roommates
Can your dog pay taxes, give consent, sign a form, take on your debt, authorize end of life care, co-sign a mortgage or provide health insurance to you? I find it odd that people who oppose same sex marriage so often trot out this straw man argument. If - when confronted with sex between consenting adults - your thoughts automatically turn to bestiality, I'm thinking you ought to seek professional help.
