 russian history should read at least 4 areas specially.Doctors all over the world are having difficulty finding matching donors for bone marrow transplants – a lifesaving operation for certain very serious illnesses.
And patients from ethnic minorities are the most at risk.
Because the transplants are much more likely to succeed when they are between people of similar genetic backgrounds, physicians try to find donors from the same ethnicity as the patients.
But, even in advanced nations, the pool of registered donors is relatively small, and ethnic minorities make up a small percentage of that small number.
In New Zealand, this means that patients who belong to the indigenous Maori population are much less likely to find a matching donor and receive a transplant than are the descendents of European settlers.
Rachel Sharma, a 20-year-old Auckland resident and leukemia patient, had to get substitute therapy when no matching donor could be found from the 11.6 million donors registered worldwide, the New Zealand Herald reported.
Eventually, Sharma received a cord blood transplant instead – one of only two such surgeries in New Zealand last year.
New Zealand officials have been promoting the donor registry for 12 years in an effort to bolster the numbers of Pacific Islanders on the list.
In the Czech Republic, physicians have had trouble finding matching donors for Roma, or gypsy, patients with leukemia.
The United States has had trouble finding matches for minorities as well.
The Lake County News-Sun reported on the case of Diane Perez, an eighth grader in West Chicago, who needs a bone marrow transplant.
Doctors say she will likely die without a bone marrow transplant, but they have been unable to find a matching donor.
About six million people are on the National Marrow Donor Program, the News-Sun reported, but only one million of these are black or Hispanic.
The number of Asians and Native Americans are even lower.
WCAX, in Vermont, reported on the case of Nicole Nelson, who is of Abenaki American Indian descent, and needs a bone marrow transplant to survive.
Nelson did not even know of her American Indian heritage until after she was diagnosed with aplastic anemia.
After doctors were unable to find a matching donor for Nelson, Todd Hebert, an Abenaki man, organized a donor drive in the tribe.
THE DABELS DIVULGE (RESURGENCE): walt whitman said what now?
walt whitman said what now?
One of the classes I am taking at the university is all about literature written mostly by dead white guys. There are some Chinese fellows in there and this semester there are even some African writers thrown in. But mostly it's white guys like Galileo and Locke. Hobbes and Thoreau. Goethe and Rousseau. Whitman. Who doesn't know Walt Whitman?? Someone has determined these writers to be awesome enough to have their writings compiled in a text book and studied by many many many a poor fool.
Actually, I seriously love this class and that is no word of a sarcastic lie. And, really, who am I to decide who is awesome enough to be studied billions of years later? I am thinking, though, that the criteria for being awesome is being confusing and really hard to understand, even though your native tongue is the same as mine.
Whatever, this is the class and I have to take it and I am okay with it. Even though it seriously cuts into my reading for pleasure time. Again, I love the class. I really love it.
This week, we did a plethora of readings commonly referred to as poetry. I am super awesome at poetry. Poetry is my my jam.
Shoot, I forgot to make a grocery list for the way home. And I can't remember what I was planning for dinner.
It is lagging -- O I think it is heavy with love, with love.
O night! I do not see my love fluttering out among the breakers?
Hmmmm, I do believe I just read a 20 page poem. I do believe I have no clue what just happened here. I am awesome at this book learning stuff. Banana. I reeeeeally want a banana. Right now. Where can I get a banana from?
That was a beautiful interpretation. Inspiring, really. Teach me, oh wise one.
Bananas are gross. Monkey food at best.

  email:          <EMAIL>Above: In place of today’s scruffy intersection of Cromwell and Hanover streets is this vision of Under-Armourized South Baltimore.
Streets named after colors, as in Black Street and Blue Street.
Trees planted so there is a variety of specimens on every block.
An iconic public building comparable to the grandeur of the Sydney Opera House.
Those are a few of the ideas that designers are exploring for Port Covington, where Kevin Plank’s Sagamore Development Company is planning a city within a city to go along with a new global headquarters for Under Armour.
Sagamore’s design team presented ideas for the west end of Port Covington and the Hanover Street corridor yesterday during a three-hour meeting with Baltimore’s Urban Design and Architectural Review Panel (UDARP).
How About a Tunnel?
During the presentation, city planning director Thomas J. Stosur threw out a suggestion of his own: Dig a tunnel to carry traffic under the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River to connect Port Covington with Cherry Hill, instead of the Hanover Street Bridge.
Stosur suggested that a tunnel could be a good way to take heavy trucks off portions of Hanover Street and otherwise mitigate the impact of through traffic in South Baltimore.
“It’s my idea,” he said after the meeting, explaining that it’s not part of any department plan or study.
Indeed, a Los Angeles-based consultant has just been hired by the city Department of Transportation to do a multi-million-dollar study to determine whether to repair or replace the aging bridge.
A tunnel is not one of the alternatives the consultant has been asked to study, with a report due in two years’ time.
Sagamore works on a much faster timetable.
It has been meeting frequently with UDARP to show ideas for various sections of a 266-acre redevelopment district, including a 50-acre parcel set aside for a new headquarters for Under Armour.
Plans call for up to 13 million square feet of development over the next 20 years. That’s more square footage than Harbor East, Harbor Point, Harbor Place, Harbor View, Canton Crossing and East Baltimore Development Inc. combined.
With each UDARP meeting, the designers are showing plans in greater detail. Sometimes, the discussions turn into brainstorming sessions in which they propose a wonderland of ideas.
Yesterday, when they discussed the West End of Port Covington and the Hanover Street corridor, the developers got down to specifics such as the names of streets and the specimens of trees they might plant.
Instead of planning one block with all oak trees or maples or elms, the landscape architects proposed planting a row of oak-maple-elm, oak-maple-elm, or some other combination.
In some cases the planners made suggestions for land Sagamore doesn’t own.
