...level. Children's-merchandise aisles are dominated by characters from television and movies. It's rare that a character known through books alone can win the instant toddler recognition that drives many kids' purchases. And while Kirk's books have been big sellers, he has not had the runaway success of Ian Falconer's spunky little pig Olivia or President Bush's personal favorite, Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Still, neither Falconer's nor Carle's works are being spun into anything nearly so ambitious as the Sunny Patch brand, Miss Spider's line of goods. Target, Callaway...
...very different. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is focused on a particular joint, rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease--an autoimmune disorder in which the body's defense system attacks the joints by way of the thin layer of cells called the synovium that line and lubricate the joints. The runaway immune response clogs the synovium with infection-fighting cells that release proteins called cytokines. These are compounds that fuel inflammation. The synovium becomes engorged with new blood vessels and begins to grow, kudzu-like, penetrating and further damaging cartilage and bone...

I especially love him because he was in the thirteenth episode of the second season...
...want to make films people want to go and see," she says. "I don't see myself as being élitist in any respect." Ramsay isn't waiting around to see whether Morvern Caller will be her breakthrough movie; she's already writing an adaptation of Alice Sebold's runaway best-seller The Lovely Bones, which is due to begin shooting next summer. She remains unperturbed by the recent collapse of the production house that commissioned her for the job. It's just another extraordinary situation, calling for unconventional action. Ramsay will know what...
