NCAA Tournament Catfight!

Miller Brewing Co. unveiled 10 new ads Thursday for the company's wholesale distributors at their annual meeting in Las Vegas. The new spots, a continuation of the Miller Lite "Story Tellers" campaign, include five ads that are spinoffs of the "Catfight" spot that stirred controversy last fall.

Let's Not Ban Therapeutic Cloning Too.
Two weeks ago, the US House of Representatives voted to ban all forms of research that involved the study of human cells, including reproductive cloning and so-called "therapeutic cloning", whose technical term is Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT).

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said:

... "it is clearly immoral to criminalize using so-called 'therapeutic cloning'"

Now the Senate has a bill, S 303 IS: Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Research Protection Act of 2003, that proposes "To prohibit human cloning and protect stem cell research".

My friend's daughter has Diabetes, and asked me help them protect stem cell research. I'm in favor of protecting stem cell research, but why does the govenment tie the protection of this research with the banning of human cloning?

Use this link to contact your representative to tell them how you feel.

Big Dig plans March 30 openings.
Boston Globe Staff Photo by David L. Ryan

Ravi Jain, the Jamaica Plain resident who has succeeded in becoming the first civilian to drive in the Big Dig's new turnpike connector tunnels from Logan Airport, as well as the Leverett Circle Connector bridge, said he considers the next milestone to be the most important. He has been working on plans to be the first across the Zakim Bridge.

''It's like being the first to go to Fenway Park. You know it's going to be a symbol of Boston for decades,'' said Jain. ''We've all been living with this for more than a decade now, and the bridge is gorgeous. I can't wait.''

Watch for my friend Ravi to be the first one across the bridge!

All About Me – By Elizabeth Smart.

Fresh mountain air
Mixed with the smell of pine right after a rainstorm,
Wild flowers,
And the color sky-blue.

Going on long horseback rides,
Skiing down hills of snow.

The taste of fresh homemade bread,
Right out of the oven with butter on top melting.

Hot Fire Balls on a cold winters day.
Harps, pedals, and strings.

Ice frozen lakes with snow falling on top.
Cold days, warm cheery fires
And roasting marshmallows over bonfire.

March 15th: International Eat an Animal for PETA Day.

If you haven't heard by now, PETA has started yet another offensive ad campaign . This one really reaches bottom—they are using Holocaust terminology, quotes, and pictures to liken the "slaughter" of animals to the slaughter of the Jews by the Nazis. So let's make up our own outrageous publicity stunt. Let's designate Saturday, March 15th, as International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. Everybody set the date on your calendar, and either go out and enjoy a great steak, or cook one at home. Or cook up some chicken or fish or anything else that PETA wouldn't want you to eat.

Mmm...meat.
