Escape From Alcatraz Triathalon
In 29 years as a federal prison, nobody ever survived an escape from Alcatraz, but every year athletes from across the country prove it possible. To compete in the 32nd annual Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon, athletes must qualify or be chosen in a lottery, thus becoming one of 2,000 athletes participating in this modified international distance triathlon. Its grueling course begins with a 1.5-mile swim from a boat off of Alcatraz, transitions to an 18-mile bike ride and concludes with an 8-mile run that includes a 400-step Equinox sand ladder. Join in on rubbing it in the faces of those would-be escapees, or just watch from the sidelines — this year's race may be the best ever.

WHO: Small cancer risk after Fukushima accident
People exposed to the highest doses of radiation during the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011 may have a slightly higher risk of cancer that is so small it probably won't be detectable, according to a new report from the World Health Organization released Thursday.
AP Medical Writer
People exposed to the highest doses of radiation during the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011 may have a slightly higher risk of cancer that is so small it probably won't be detectable, according to a new report from the World Health Organization released Thursday.
A group of experts convened by the agency assessed the risk of various cancers based on estimates of how much radiation people at the epicenter of the nuclear disaster received, namely those directly under the plumes of radiation in the most affected communities in Fukushima, a rural agricultural area about 150 miles (240 kilometers) north of Tokyo.
Some 110,000 people living around the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant were evacuated after the massive March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant's power and cooling systems, causing meltdowns in three reactors and spewing radiation into the surrounding air, soil and water.
Experts calculated that people in the most affected regions had an additional 4 to 7 percent overall risk of developing cancers including leukemia and breast cancer. In Japan, men have about a 41 percent lifetime risk of developing cancer of an organ while a woman's lifetime risk is about 29 percent. For those most hit by the radiation after Fukushima, their chances of cancer would rise by about 1 percent.
"These are pretty small proportional increases," said Richard Wakeford of the University of Manchester, one of the authors of the report.
"The additional risk is quite small and will probably be hidden by the noise of other (cancer) risks like people's lifestyle choices and statistical fluctuations," he said. "It's more important not to start smoking than having been in Fukushima."
Experts had been particularly worried about a spike in thyroid cancer, since iodine released in nuclear accidents is absorbed by the thyroid, especially in children. After the Chernobyl disaster, about 6,000 children exposed to radiation later developed thyroid cancer, because many drank contaminated milk after the accident.
In Japan, dairy radiation levels were closely monitored and children are not big milk drinkers anyway.
WHO estimated that women exposed as infants to the most radiation after the Fukushima accident would have a 70 percent higher chance of getting thyroid cancer in their lifetimes. But thyroid cancer is extremely rare and the normal lifetime risk of developing it is about 0.75 percent. That would rise to 0.5 percent for those women who got the highest radiation doses as babies.
Wakeford said the increase in such cancers may be so small they will probably not be observable.
For people beyond the most directly affected areas of Fukushima, Wakeford said the risk dropped dramatically. "The risks to everyone else were just infinitesimal."
Some experts said it was surprising that any increase in cancer was even predicted and believe that the low-dose radiation people in Fukushima received hasn't been proven to raise the chances of cancer.
"On the basis of the radiation doses people have received, there is no reason to think there would be an increase in cancer in the next 50 years," said Wade Allison, an emeritus professor of physics at Oxford University, who was not connected to the WHO report. "The very small increase in cancers means that it's even less than the risk of crossing the road," he said.
Gerry Thomas, a professor of molecular pathology at Imperial College London accused the WHO of hyping the cancer risk.
"It's understandable that WHO wants to err on the side of caution, but telling the Japanese about a barely significant personal risk may not be helpful," she said.
Thomas said the WHO report used inflated estimates of radiation doses and didn't properly take into account Japan's quick evacuation of people from Fukushima. "This will fuel fears in Japan that could be more dangerous than the physical effects of radiation," she said, noting that people living under stress have higher rates of heart problems, suicide and mental illness.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My youngest child attends B-L Elementary and does very well. She is challenged each day in the classroom and the teachers have treated her like one of their own. The school itself is very nice and technological. I've been impressed so far with the students, parents and administration. Everyone in the community cares about the children.
my sister went to bates-burg for a time and then she went to forts pond and compared side by side this school is better because of the easy grading and instruction. this school is a school every school in the state should follow.
Learning is student centered. Technology is used to enhance learning and labs offer hands on experience.
I have always found the faculty and staff of B-L Elementary to be a caring, dedicated group of professionals. I love the small class sizes and individualized instruction that my children received there.

Hi Brandon, The names you mentioned seem to common names among the Pekareks. But we may be related further back. My grandparents siblings stayed in the Cleveland area, except George Pekarek, my grandfather brother, George Pekarek, and I don't know where he went after 1900, when he appeared in the census. I know he died probably in the early 1940's. It would be very interesting to see when the original Pekareks came to the United States, if they came together, if there were many of them, etc. A number must have traveled to Chicago, because there many there, and many in North Dakota, Nebraska, Texas, as well as scattered other places, and to South America. This is a fascinating search!

Buying store brands instead of name brands can lead to big savings, an average of 25 percent off your grocery bill. To see how store brands stack up against name brands, Consumer Reports did blind tests of 19 pairs of products.
Target's Market Pantry Ranch salad dressing tied Hidden Valley's. Quality-wise they're right about the same, but they had different flavors.
Walmart's Great Value granola bar tied Nature Valley's. Both were chewy and they were pretty much the same quality.
And when Clover Valley's crackers from Dollar General went up against Sunshine's Cheez-Its, it was a tie again!
But in some cases big-name brands did beat store brands. For example, Tropicana orange juice defeated Nice!, sold at Walgreens. It had a fuller orange flavor.
However, in most cases store brands did as well as or better than name brands. The bottom line: Store brands are worth a try, and they usually cost a lot less.
And Consumer Reports says that the savings and quality aren't limited to store-brand foods. For example, both Target's Up & Up paper towels and Walmart's White Cloud toilet paper have rated excellent in Consumer Reports' tests.

Cologne, Germany's Kompakt imprint has set the gold standard for cutting edge techno for nearly a decade. So, hopes were high for the release of label cofounder Michael Mayer's first long-player, Touch. Unfortunately, the album comes off as a routine exercise. The title track, while beginning with a huge flourish, is faceless dance music, and doesn't sound much different from a television ad for a new car. "Funky Handicap" starts out promisingly with a pulsing Teutonic bass, but devolves into an aimless sonic miasma by its end. Straying from the sleek sound Kompakt is known for, Mayer seems indecisive.

One of the things about "MASH" was that people wanted to see it a second time. That's typical of the recent Robert Altman style; "Brewster McCloud" is just as densely packed with words and action, and you keep thinking you're missing things. You probably are. It's that quality that's so attractive about these two Altman films. We get the sense of a live intelligence, rushing things ahead on the screen, not worrying whether we'll understand.
If anything, "Brewster McCloud" is more complex and more difficult than "MASH." For one thing, we don't have the initial orientation we had in "MASH," where we knew we were in the Army and we knew what the uniforms stood for and what was going on in the operating room. Those hooks helped us unsort the narrative. "Brewster" may not even have a narrative.
It concerns a young man who wants to build wings and fly (Bud Cort), a steely-eyed detective (Michael Murphy) and a tall blond who may or may not be the mysterious strangulation killer (Sally Kellerman, whom you may remember as Hot Lips in "MASH"). There's also a Texas billionaire, a kooky bird lecturer, and more raven guano than you can shake a stick at. If you don't know what guano is, don't worry; the movie makes it abundantly clear, in word and in deed. There's even an expert scatologist to explain.
Anyway, the young man hides in the Houston Astrodome and works on his wings. The detective investigates the murders. The girl appears mysteriously whenever she's needed to help the young man. And beyond that, there's nothing I can tell you about the plot that would be of the slightest help. Altman's style is centrifugal, whirling off political allusions, jokes, double takes and anything else that flies loose from the narrative center.
In "MASH" the device of the camp loudspeaker helped to keep things in a loose sort of order and provided bridges between scenes. In "Brewster," Altman uses even more narration. The lecturer on birds keeps saying things about birds that are reflected in the lives of human beings. A radio station announcer keeps us posted on the epidemic of strangulations. And Altman himself is always there, prodding something extra into a scene, adding action in the background as well as the foreground, making scenes allude to each other even when they are apparently not related.
But all of this isn't of much help -- is it? -- if you want me to explain what "Brewster" is about. I'm not sure it's about anything. I imagine you could extract a subject from it, and I'll try that the next time I see it. But I wonder if the movie isn't primarily style; if Altman doesn't have a personal sense of humor and wants his directing style to reflect it. One could, of course, get into a deep thing about birds and wings and freedom, but why?

1883-The keeper and crew of the Smith's Island Station, Virginia (Fifth District), saw a small schooner flying a signal near Isaac Shoal, five miles away from the station. They went out to her and found on board the captain of a sloop that wrecked the night before several miles from land. He had succeeded in swimming to a bar near the beach, where he was picked up by the crew of the schooner. Finding him suffering from exposure they signaled for assistance. The lifesaving crew applied bottles of hot water and resuscitated him. They then landed him in the surfboat and cared for him for six days until he was sent to his home.
1997- The Coast Guard announced plans to disconnect 18 fog signals, including nine along Lake Michigan's eastern shore, leading to a large public outcry that led the service to reconsider its plans.

Going throuth my papers I realized that if might be Coach Jerry Kill that Candi is talking about. He is a coach for the Univ of MN. He has brought a lot of attention to the world of ep. Dana keeps me abreast of his ongoings.
Cuilling, Dana is a participant whenever she gets a chance. That is her standing behind me the morning following my surgery.
I also found the Neurology Now editon that featured Samari Rolle. It is the Sept/Oct 2009 release. The article is "Rolle With It. It discusses "How The NFL'S SAMARI ROLLE MANAGES HIS EPILEPSY"
Cuilling, Neurology Now is a free monthly magazine that discusses many neurological mishaps. The email is www.neurologynow.com . Maybe they can deliver it to you.
angieView Thread
Nancy and Candi, I like your explanations about the VEEG to culling. I think my 1st one was done at a teaching hosp in Mpls. Great group of docs who were later involved in my brain surgery.
Candi, are you talking about Samari Rolle? I know he did a story for Nuerology Now about 4 years ago. I think he's still with the Baltimore Ravens. Nice article about a great guy. If I find the edition, I will share the month/year so that you can look it up.
Culling, I am glad to be of help to you whenever I can. I'm sure Candi and Nancy feel the same way.
Everyone have a good evening, day, or whatever. Right now the Little League is on. I'm cheering for that unique lady, Mone.
angieView Thread
Don't ever worrr about making a post rather "short-ish". We will read them rather it's a simply two sentences or a history. It's simply good to make a connection.
China!!! The wonders of the internet. Candi, as usual, was up on it. It never crossed my mind. I've never left America. I did trvel coast-to-coast when I was younger than five cuz my father was in the Air Force.
I tried acupuncture for about a year back in the 80s. It was effective for me for a short while. It didn't surprise/disappoint me when the seizures went on a rampage. That was simply how I was during my seizure active days. Situation was at peace for awhile then out of the blue I would hit another bump.
I don't know of any live chats for ep. If I hear of any, I will share it with you.
Keep sharing with us. If you are ever in our area, let us know.

Yea, school starts in a few weeks. I dropped by the school earlier this week. I told the principal that she can count on me Mon-Thurs. I want to keep Friday open for doc appts, weekly errands, or a day simply for me.
See you on the other posts.
Love you,

Hope your day is starting off with smiles.
Candi, I understand what you're saying about "epileptic" vs "having epilepsy". Coming from the black community, I had to fight for my identity of being "angie" vs being an "epileptic". I had a personal battle within my race so that I was recognized for myself, not an overactive brain. Though I did have support within the Black community, I also had my biggest battles there too.
Cuiling, do you live near an EFA(Epilepsy Foundation of America)? If so, think about asking them if they have a support group. Posssibly check a local hospital.
I live in the Vegas valley and participate in a monthly group that is managed by my doc. It does a world a good to be able to share stories with people who fully understand the seizures, meds, etc. But for right now, we are your support group.
Thanks Candi for your supportive words about my posts.
Hang in there Cuilling. Many answers seldom come when we're looking for them.

I too wish I had had this support back in the 70s when my ep began. My mom certainly needed some support.
Whenever you do get an official diagnosis of epilepsy, you will never be an "epileptic." You will ge someone who has epilepsy. The term "epileptic" is a descriptive word that unfairly puts limitations on those of us who have epilepsy. We are expected to be able to only do so much. Much else is supposedly out of our abilities. That assuption is totally wrong and prejudicial.
Kids. Wow, kids!!!!! I started doing volunteer work with kindergardeners back in the mid 80s. I was taking a break from college. They were wonderful and very supportive. When a student asked me why I wore my medic alert bracelet, I simply gathered the class together. I explained to the kids, using words that they understood, what ep was. Yes, they had questions to ask me. "Can I catch a seizure like I caught my brother's cold?" "Are you contagious, Miss Angie?" "Are you taking your meds like the doc said?"
I remember explaining seizures like a power failure/shortage in the brain. The kids understood and stayed on the alert since that day.
Teach them early so that you can possibly eliminate some of the myths that are centuries old about ep. You just might be surprised about their reactions. If you show fear, then the kids have a reason to be afraid too.
I never learned to drive since my seizures started about a week before I turned 14. Without a car at my disposal, I learned to get around on the bus, commuter trains, by foot. Not driving didn't stop me from getting to where I had to go. Soon people were asking me where places were and how to get to them.
Yes, ep might take some things away from us. But we must make those adjustments so that we don't become the "epileptic" that society thinks we should be. This is also a time to test your inner strengths. Big adjustments but it can be conquered with a strong heart and will.
You know your kids better than we do. How do you feel they will respond to you talking to them about ep? Check Amazon for books about ep and kids. There are several.
BTW, after my brain surgery, a 5-yr old wanted to redo it for me. He planned to put a computer chip in and have me programmed as he wanted. His twin would often greet me with "I took your brain out last nite, Miss Angie, and made a brain sundae. I gave you my dog's extra brain!!" They kept me laughing.
Have a good day,

Happy to be able to spread some support or lend my ears(this case eyes) to you.
What makes one seizure differ from another? I would say it has to due with origin of the seizure. Where in the brain did the seizure begin. Since we have regions in the brain that are for specific functions, I would suppose that wheneve that area is disrupted that the outcome is going to be somewhat different than when another area is disturbed.
My initial seizures were recognized to be simple seizures, aka petit mal. Initially, I was simply daydreaming. But when the actions changed, the docs had to take another look. According to my mom, and others who saw them, I was smacking my lips, pulling at my clothes, turning my head to one side, tapping my toes, etc. Those physical actions told the docs that I had something other than simple seizures. Since I was having no convulsions, it was concluded that I had complex partial(now called complex partial). It was about that time that something showed on the EEG. The area of the brain that showed seizure activity didn't generate simple seizures. That seemed to fit my personality better since I was never a simple person nor was I an extremist. Unless it came to how my room was kept or how my clothes matched.
As time passed, I was changing clothes, taking phone messages, or changing bus lines during my seizures. I have no recall of such actions. My brain shifted to automatic drive.
Worried about losing your skills? This could be dure to the seizure location or some of the meds. I had trouble with short term memory. Test time was frustrating. Some meds slowed down my reflexes thus making it difficult to learn sign language. Don't think my difficulties are sure to happen to you cause we all react differently to the same meds.
What meds are you taking? Discuss these concerns with your doc as well as the pharmacy.
I hope I'm making sense to you, cuilling. Use my email to chat whenever you wish.
How's my wording, Candi?
take care ladies,
angieView Thread
Welcome to the family. You are still the "normal" girl you were prior to your 1st seizure. Having a medical condition does not take us out of the "normal" society. Most people have something that they feel takes them out of the "norm". Your's simply happens to be ep.
I feel that how you handle/live with ep is a personal choice. I've handled mine since '75 by being a stubborn girl who refused to be controlled by an over-active brain. I learned what I was able to do w/o setting off "additional" seizures. There is nothing wrong with limitations. I say "additional" cause there have been circumstances that may have contributed to seizures(carrying a full load at college, high sugar intake, stress factors, etc).
I have had one, maybe two, seizures that frightened me. I have also had a few that took me away from college a few semesters. Though I have never experienced the Nocturnal seizures, I do feel your frustrations. My initial doctors didn't believe them to be true seizures cause nothing showed on my tests for about 1.5 yrs.
My story, like Candi's is available to read. The young lady beside me is a dear friend who walked me through the preparation/expections for brain surgery. We had the same docs who thought we would be a good match.
Don't quit on yourself. "Normal" is a state of individuality. Do what you are able and continue to find what is needed for yourself to continue to a progressive path.
Candi, as always, is on top of things. She shares many of our thoughts.View Thread
My 1st seizure occurred shortly before I turned 14.
I noticed during those teen yrs, and during early adulthood, that my seizures were more active during my menses.
Have your daughter or you noticed any increase of activity during this time? Just a thought I'm throwing out.

" I went back to it because it was a better game. "I think I'm already following you, but if I wasn't, I would be now.
I love the original game. It had so much more depth to the gameplay, had a more cohesive story line, and runs/looks great even today on a good PC.@bartok said:
" Was Mass Effect 1 really the better game ? Maybe you liked the story better which is a matter of taste but did you really enjoy the brain dead enemy A.I., the numerous vehicle sections, the elevator rides, and the all around jankiness better then Mass Effect 2 ? "Mass Effect was unique. It had a very deep set of mechanics, all of which were fleshed out really well. Some were overboard (Inventory management was TERRIBLE), but it was a deeper, more cohesive game. Mass Effect 2 was just a shooter with a few basic abilities thrown in there, and a really disconnected, unimportant story. You go from saving the galaxy to saving small colonies of a single race. And a lot of the things Shepard and Co. do in ME2 fly in the face of what a lot of people's original Shepards stood for. The AI isn't any better, just better shots, which has little to do with the complexity of the AI, and the friendly AI isn't different at all, they just fudge the numbers to make them capable of hitting a target.

Finished my first playthrough earlier today, or, I guess that would be yesterday now. About half an hour later I started a New Game + and beat the game again in about 4 hours by just hammering the X button through all the conversations; a shame I can't skip the cutscenes as well. Feels weird to finish a Bioware RPG in less time than it took me beat Call of Duty 4 my first time, even if I already knew where to go and what to do, not that I'm really complaining about that. I'm actually thinking of doing a third playthrough tonight in hopes of getting to level 60, since I'm at 51 right now. Once I get there, I'll start a new career and try a different class. It's doubtful I'll go for the Insane achievement, but who knows, right now my soldier class is absolutely ripping through everything without even coming close to dying, aside from when a Thresher Maw decided to surface directly underneath the Mako; sadface.

Playing it at the moment actually. Still hate the Mako. Really don't know who to leave at Virmirie. Kaidan is cool and all, but Ashley just HAD to mention her family. Damn it
'officially" I have two shepards. Female paragon and a male renegade. I had to replay my male renegade through ME1 because some decisions he made were not that evil
It is still a great game to replay. Virmire and Ilos are still fucking great and the combat made it easy on casual(15 hours in total for everything)

I've played through it twice, and that's all the times I need to play through it. The idea that anyone could get the full S rank in this game baffles me to no end, mostly because of how totally and horrendously boring all the side content is.
I'm gonna play through this at least once more before ME3 comes out. Totally customize my experience for my first playthrough of 3.
I've played through the first Mass Effect 7 times, but yet not once since Mass Effect 2 came out. I got pretty good at the original. My last playthrough totaled 3 1/2 hours from beginning to end. You can just rip through the story missions on any difficulty if you have a fully leveled up character. I love those games so much. I can't wait to play through them again nearer the end of this year.

Once you've completed the game the first time, you're so powerful that you barely need to pay attention during combat. I got all the ally Achievements over the course of a week or so by kind of half-ass playing while listening to music/podcasts or talking on the phone.
I'm replaying it right now. I'm trying to speed through everything as fast as possible so I can import into ME2 with a different playthrough. I honestly don't know if it's worth it... I'm not having that much fun.
Also, the renegade path seems to not leave many left to come back in the sequel, at least from what I've read. Almost doesn't seem worth it, except for a few big decisions (though I'm killing the Rachni, and that just means they won't be there anymore... so is it even going to be interesting to see the difference?).

It's a bummer that instead of making the vehicle easier to use for those who (inexplicably) had trouble with it they just removed exploration from the second and, I assume, third game. The exploration made the "world" feel huge, and most the planets are really distinct feeling. Admittedly the side missions could have used more variety in content and design.

I've been trying to, but the shooter controls of the first one are so inferior that I might end up buying the PS3 version so I can use the comic to make my decisions from ME1.
You can get the comic on the 360.
I love ME1 I've probably completed it about 10 times now. Definatly my favourite game on the 360.
I played mainly as an adept/vangaurd so I really didn't see a problem with the shooting. I actually prefer the power system in ME1 as you can use more powers more frequently.
What's the big deal with the mako missions? It works fine for what you need to do with it.
I want to go back because I need to save Wrex and have him in ME 2 for me. I was nice to him when he was getting angry so I'm not sure how to keep him from getting killed. Can I revert to a previous save and somehow keep him from dying, then recomplete the rest of the game? Do I need a certain charm level?
I'm hoofing it through 2 right now, but when I finish that and 3 when it comes out I'm going to go back and do a massive play through of all three games. I really underestimated just how awesome the story and the game itself for that matter really is. It actually is quite a bit of fun when you finally become a spectre.

I've... uh... never played it.
I have both games with all the DLC and I'll get around to them eventually, promise.
I just finished playing ME1 (2nd play-thru) last week. Made it to 59. I tried to get to 60 but it wasn't happening.
I wanted to make sure that I played ME1 and ME2 (at least 2 plays each) before hitting ME3.
I just started ME2 this week. I'm very happy that I played ME1 at least 2x. It was totally worth it. I was a little reluctant to play ME1 because folks dissed the gameplay controls. Now I realize that those folks probably went to Disney World (ME2) before visiting Disney Land (ME1). If all you know is Disney Land (ME1) then the gameplay is pretty dope.
I fired it up to start a renegade FemShep. The Genesis DLC for ME2 was an option, but I think I'd rather play ME1 in its entirety and get the full experience.
Have already punched out a civilian, and pulled a gun on and extorted some others for material gain. Giving Williams lip for being incompetent and losing the rest of her squad on Eden Prime was amusing also.
Renegade FemShep is going to do well.

Ancient thread.
Despite all of the not-so-great aging, I do plan to replay it at some point. But not now. I've been dicking around with Dragon Age Origins for months now, and I want to finish it. The same for KOTOR. If I'm not on Bioware overload by then, I'll do my Mass Effect replay then.
Strangely enough, after finishing ME1 the second time I immediately bought the comic book thingy so I'd never have to replay the first game again. To this very day, I've never actually used it.

Carmel Valley company helping effort to have 1988 chemical weapons attack on Halabja recognized as genocide
By Kristina Houck
The Kurdish people want the United States to recognize the former Iraqi government's 1988 chemical weapons attack on Halabja as genocide, and a local company is helping them make it happen.
An official Kurdish delegation on Aug. 14 presented Carmel Valley-based Imani Lee, Inc. with documents related to the March 16, 1988 attack on Halabja, a town in northern Iraq.
"When I was doing research on Halabja and seeing the pain and suffering that people went through, in a lot of ways, it reminded me of what we felt on 9/11. It's horrible what they went through. They were innocent villagers and Saddam Hussein just decided he wanted to commit genocide," said Lee Martin, founder and owner of the language and translation services company. "It makes me proud that Imani Lee can be involved in something so important that's going from San Diego to the national stage to the international stage."
A project of the Kurdistan regional government in coordination with the Philadelphia-based Dialogue Institute of Temple University, Imani Lee was selected to translate the Arabic documents to English. The materials include official government and military documents as well as eyewitness accounts of the attack.
"The content of the documents are proof of the involvement of the Iraqi government back at that time," said Bakir Hama Sidiq, a member of the Iraqi parliament, through translator Raid Behnam, Imani Lee's project manager and Arabic linguist.
A Halabja native, Sidiq was a law student at the University of Baghdad when the attack occurred. He lost 23 family members in the attack. A practicing attorney, today Sidiq is seeking reparations for the families of the victims.
"From the beginning in the '80s, Saddam ordered those documents not to be signed by himself," explained Sidiq, who prepared witness testimony used in the trial proceedings of Hussein. "They are signed by other agencies like military agencies, intelligence agencies. But it is well known that the only two persons authorized to order the use of mass destruction weapons were Saddam Hussein and Chemical Ali (Ali Hassan al-Majid, Hussein's cousin), or the chief of staff, if it was authorized."
The attack, which Hussein ordered in the days preceding the conclusion of the Iran-Iraq War, killed about 3,000-5,000 Iraqi Kurds and injured about 7,000-10,000 others. The post-Hussein Iraqi government executed al-Majid in January 2010 for his role in the attack on the Kurdish town and other crimes against humanity.
The delegation will present English translations of the documents to the U.S. Congress before the end of the year in an attempt to get the legislative body to officially declare the deadly attack as genocide.
"There was a saying that we only had God in heaven and we had mountains on the ground," said Khder Hassan Muhammed, a Kurdish Appeals Courthouse judge, through Behnam. Also a law student at the University of Baghdad at the time, Muhammed lost relatives in the attack. "Now we don't only have God in heaven and mountains on the ground, but we have friends. We need for these friends to know about this atrocity so they can tell the world about it so that we can gather all efforts in order for it not to happen to any other nation or people around the world."
