There was something tacky about both Gulf wars but it wasn't the performance of the troops. Soldiers, sailors and airmen alike, at least those who wore American and British colors, performed superbly. They were professional and courageous -- and no surprise here.
But, even the Spanish-American War was far more of a military challenge than Saddam's sorry legions. Only the Battle of Grenada, when the United States invaded a golf course, compares with the various Desert Whatevers as pompous national farce.
When Ike got his parade down Broadway it was by way of the public saying "Thanks" for a victory won over several years at enormous cost in blood and treasure against Prussian armies sworn to advance demonic evil. In the first Gulf War, Gen. Schwartzkopf allowed the nation to experience a sort of "Call of Duty" version of the Ike's Great Crusade. If you slept in the morning that "Desert Storm" began then you missed most of the war. I greatly admired the men who gave us such a swift and relatively bloodless victory. I was embarrassed by all the hoopla that followed. We had not, after all, shown Rommel or Rundstedt who was Boss -- we had held a victory parade at the expense of a raggedy-ass collection of ill-matching hardware, ill-trained soldiers and politicized and venal commanding officers. The most admirable part of the whole business was that the senior Bush had the wisdom to stop our armored juggernaut before we had to take responsibility for the hot mess that is Iraq.
I cannot, therefore, agree with TE's assertion that "The first Gulf War left a durable imprint on America." The world's most technologically advanced military flexed its muscles against a sparring partner of Wally Cox or Don Knotts ferocity. Our commanding general (ghost-) wrote a book, there was a short-lived burst of what passes these days for patriotism and then everyone got back to the serious business of seeing who would be voted off the island. In fact, it was all rather embarrassing.
Some day -- although I hope not -- America may be involved once again in the sort of bitterly protracted bloodbaths that marked the two world wars. If that bloodbath includes the use of nuclear weapons then the suffering will be unimaginable. Then, we will really learn which of us are sunshine patriots -- or, in our own day, CNN-warriors.
I suppose that, like a lot of Americans, I am proud of our military. And, I am proudest of it when it is at home training to protect us all in case we have to face a REAL enemy. In the meantime, I begrudge every life sacrificed in some Ruritanian conflict dreamed up by neo-cons and other armchair geopoliticians who can watch their handiwork safely on cable TV news, remote from the battlefield.
After Ike ended the war in Korea, not one American uniformed personnel died in combat for the next eight years. Having seen war -- real war -- Eisenhower wanted no more part of it. He eschewed cheap patriotism and militaristic chest-thumping.
The first Gulf War was vaguely justifiable in terms of morality and national interest. The second Gulf War was jumped-up gunboat diplomacy foisted on us and the Iraqis by "Think Tank" politicians who felt America could remake the world and get a thrilling victory celebration in the bargain. Remember that "Mission Accomplished" banner mounted on the island of the USS Abraham Lincoln? That tacky chauvinism must have stuck in the craw of many brave Marines and soldiers who spent the next few years being crippled by IEDs while the politicos in DC tried to weasel out of their lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction.
I am all for a military parade. I will wave my American flag and cheer my head off when I see our magnificent fighting men and women march past me behind a banner that says "The Yanks Aren't Coming."
"[T]he Powell doctrine, as others dubbed it: have clear political objectives; use overwhelming force; maintain popular support."
Unlike the Rumsfeld Doctrine, used in the Second Iraq War:
Have no political objectives, use underwhelming forces, and ignore popular support.
I suspect this tender commenter has never been in a fire fight and likely has never served his country in any capacity other than that of disgruntled ass.
Was the genocide committed by Hussein against the Kurds, Assyrians, Mandeans, etc., America's fault as well? How does that compare to any economic sanction?
Fostering European "sympathy" is not a high priority for the U.S.
I'll open with a statement that I certainly respect the service the General provided to US during his career. And he clearly showed his skill in planning and then leading while the plan was executed.
That said though, the praise heaped upon him for being a great strategist is unearned. He certainly was a great student of military history. As a result, he did not need to develop an innovative strategy. He in fact used strategy which was described thousands of years ago in "The Art of War" and demonstrated brilliantly, unfortunately, by the German blitzkieg in France in 1940. Quoting here from Wikipedia - "Initially the depleted French forces put up stiff resistance, but German air superiority gradually overwhelmed French artillery positions. German forces outflanked the Maginot Line and pushed deeper into France as French forces began to collapse." Sound familiar? Kind of like American air supremacy depleting the strength of Iraqi fixed positions for 6 weeks and then using a highly mobile force to outflank the line of fixed defenses Saddam had placed in the desert, cutting off Iraqi units and using air surpemacy to support their destruction.
Use your strenghts (in this case air power and mobility) and avoid the enemy's strengths (in this case fixed defensive positions and superior ground force numbers). A strategy known for thousands of years. How to do this in modern warfare? Demonstrated by Germany in WWII.
I'm sure I'll be called a lot of names for casting dispersion on Stormin' Norman. But again - Stormin' Norman was a credit to the country and a great leader. My issue is all these people who think he did something novel. Those who feel his strategy in Iraq was innovative simply don't know much history.
The most magnificent machine on earth can be driven into a ditch by an idiot. It's up to the country to make sure the chances of putting an idiot behind the wheel are effectively limited, particularly when false premises can be manipulated.
Well said, DDA.
Threeye, those soldiers who are sucking your coffers dry (to paraphrase what you said) fought for your freedom (if you are American) and were possibly wounded for it. Whether or not you're American, you're reprehensible.
But, thanks for adding your opinion to this page...you have clarified that you are an idiot instead of just allowing us to think that you are one.
I realize that defending Hussein's actions rate about as high as defending Stalin, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure that he was unjustified in his invasion. The Kuqaitis were using directional drilling to tap into oil fields in Iraq, in essense they were stealing his oil out from under him. If Canada slant drilled into American oil fields, do you not think that the Americans would be moderately peeved?
He appealed to the US Ambassador to intervene and fix the situation or give him approval to fix it himself and he believed that he had received the go ahead from the US Ambassador to do so.
Given that Bush installed Hussein as President when he was the head of the CIA and given that he set-up and took down several of his operatives over time for personal gain (see Noriega and bin Ladin) it is not beyond suspect that Hussein was intentionally given a green light to invade just to set him up for a fall. Bush knew that Americans will always rally around a war president, but he forgot to time the war properly, he needed it to still be raging during the election.
GW1 was for a just cause , as Saddam had invaded Kuwait, a US ally.What about GW2? US and NATO have lost it out in Afghanistan because of GW2.Now Iraq is where it was in 2001.Ditto for Afghanistan in 2014.Post 9/11, USA had the sympathy and support of entire world.How is it now?
They certainly contributed to pushing the schedule.
But there was also a fair amount of push in the first Gulf War to get moving. And General Schwartzkopf pushed back until he had his supplies in place. (Of course, he was dealing with a President and administation who had actually been in a war and therefore probably had a better understanding of what he was doing and why.)
Nation-building directed by people who opposed the whole concept was certainly a problem. But before we even got to that, we had problems. Not that our military couldn't take Iraq's quickly. But that we were not prepared to deal with how quickly we did.
Perhaps it would be better to say that we had a policing problem, rather than a military problem -- but it was the military that was expected to do the job. We took Baghdad . . . and then were unprepared to control it. Not enough troops to maintain order (stop looting, etc.), but none of the supplies needed for policing either. And because we were not prepared to maintain order, the situation got out of control quickly and stayed that way for a decade.**
Would we have faced some kind of guerrilla campaign anyway? Sure. But if the Iraqi's had felt like we were prepared to run the place it would have been far smaller and had far less popular support.
** I admit that I think the biggest single error was this: If the US government had had an ounce of brains we would have told the Iraqi military right up front: "Return to your barracks and sit tight. Pay and allowances will continue as before if you stay there." Rather than abolishing their military and turning lots of armed and trained young men out into an economy which had nothing else for them to do and no jobs to support them. Yes, it would have been expensive. But far less expensive than the way we did it.
Regretably, we did not learn one of the critical lessons of the first Gulf War: logistics is critical. The difference between the first and second attacks on Iraq was that the first time we were lead by a general who understood that. So we did not see (as we did the second time) units stopping on the way to Baghdad simply because they had outrun their fuel supplies.
"Good generals study strategy. Great generals study logistics."
Compared to Iraq part 2 and Afghanistan, Iraq 1 was a resounding success - Saddam was kicked out of Kuwait with minimal casualties, the US maintained international support from a broad coalition including many Arab countries, and the financial cost was minor. I heard George H W Bush speak once about why he did not go on to Baghdad in 1991 - he said a) I had no plan for occupation b) the Iraqis might turn and fight instead of running c) the international support would evaporate overnight and the US would be left fighting by itself. Too bad his son didn't listen.
Did Kuwait attack Iraq? No. Therefore, "there is no way you can possibly justify the invasion of" Kuwait. You seem to have no problem apologizing for Hussein, but President Bush is a monstrous ogre. All of this left-wing, "blame America first, dictators later," loser-ism, is tiresome.
I served in the Army at the height of the second Iraq war, and while I didn't see combat myself, I served with several guys who had. From what they tell me, the problem in their infantry unit was the opposite of what you describe: Guys hid that they were suffering from PTSD symptoms for fear that they would not be allowed to go back into the field with their unit. I would guess that for every false report of PTSD from a VA benefit-seeker there are ten unreported cases from veterans struggling on their own with depression, anxiety, alcoholism and the fractured relationships that these and other effects of PTSD bring about.
The U.S. would never wage war against Canada with the casus belli being "slant drilling."
In any event, you seem to have a pretty easy time rationalizing invasion. I wonder if you can rationalize the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 as well. Certainly President Bush had more cause to invade Iraq than Hussein did to invade Kuwait. Yet, I'm sure your sympathy for invaders runs out when the aggressor is a western nation.
I'm sure you've created a terribly clever and profound dichotomy here.
Agree. I also forgot the fifth element -
Be arrogant, condescending, and mistreat with whom you disagree.
The problem with the Second Iraq War was not that we failed to take Baghdad fast enough.
The military task of invading the country happened quickly and with only minor hiccups.
The real problem was that we put ourselves in the task of nation building by an administration whose employees that had spent the entire Clinton administration criticizing just that concept.
We won the war (military on military conflict) easily, we were not prepared to win the peace.

Name: Kate Gradical Eyes A OR-1
Contents: 4.1 g
@cosme rating: 4.8 ★
Release date: 1.2.2010
Gradical Eyes A is the fourth generation eyeshadow palette in Kate's Gradical Eyes collection. It was preceded by Gradical Eyes, Gradical Eyes N and Gradical Eyes S. Gradical Eyes A has four gradational shades and a "long fix" formula cream base.
The Reflect Mirror Eyes range had beautiful colours but to me they are a disappointment due to the total lack of pigment. The shadows in Gradical Eyes A are total opposites - they have good colour payoff for such light shades! They are also creamy, smooth and they stay on my lids without creasing. Nonetheless I noticed that the textures of these powder shadows aren't consistent - the darkest shade is drier than the rest.
All in all, this quint restored my faith in Kate, and I shall expand my collection with the BR or GY shades (preferably when they go on sale → el cheapo haha!).
Name: Majolica Majorca Blooming Dream Eyes 02 Midnight Dream
Contents: 3.5 g
@cosme rating: 3.8 ★
Release date: 21.4.2010
This limited edition Majolica Majorca quad comes in a cardboard case. It contains four eye shadows: a translucent eye gloss with colourful sparkles, a white cream based eye base, a shimmery pale lavender nuance color and a shimmery light purple shadow color.
The white cream eye base is welcome addition as I find myself reaching for cream shadows more often these days. I enjoy using the pink and purple powder shadows, they are soft and pigmented. Regrettably, I tend to overlook the sparkly eye gloss when I reach for this quad – it doesn't do anything.
Midnight Dream is definitely a pretty item to own, but not a must-have =]
Name: Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus
Contents: 6 g
@cosme rating: 4.6 ★
Release date: 21.1.2009
I don't suppose I need to add my 2 cents on Lash Expander Frame Plus. It is one of the most popular mascaras for lengthening but it is amazingly hard to remove.
Name: Canmake Shimmer Jelly Eyes 02 Sugar Milk Tea
@cosme rating: 4.3 ★
Release date: 6.4.2010
According to the Canmake site, Shimmer Jelly Eyes is waterproof and therefore also sweat proof. This range is also supposed to last all day long.
02 Sugar Milk Tea is a shimmery beige. It has medium pigmentation - you can layer it easily if you think it is too sheer. It comes with a sponge tip applicator.
Name: Canmake Nudy Gloss Rouge 05 Honey Latte
@cosme rating: 4.2 ★
Release: 2009
Nudy Gloss Rouge comes in six different shades. They are packaged in a clear tube with a brush applicator. The shade that I received from Dina, 05 Honey Latte, is a nude beige.
I fell in love with it the moment I applied it on my lips - the formula is creamy and pigmented enough to wear alone. It isn't too sticky which is another plus. However, after a while and of course after meals, I noticed that the gloss settles into my lip lines and makes every line/crack super noticeable! Not an attractive sight at all >.<
I have reviewed some of the babies in the picture above in earlier posts. Do scroll through my August archive if you want to read them.
Thank you for staying with me till the end! ^^

Music Video Made on Microsoft Kinect Is Ghostly and Lovely
Hacks of the uber-popular Microsoft Kinect have become an art form of late, and a recent music video created for the band Echo Lake is no different. Reminiscent of Radiohead's "House of Cards" video, the above vid -- created by filmmaker Dan Nixon -- has a tech-flavored spin. Nixon says in a blog post on the band's Tumblr: "As far as I know (and I'm scared of checking) this is the first music video to be made with the Microsoft Kinect camera.

Struggle for the Islands
But he soon realized that the animals were more interesting than the rocks. He knew enough zoology to understand that a unique population of creatures was living on these isolated islands. They must have appeared on the islands recently, after the islands emerged from the sea.
After the iguanas, Darwin met the tortoises, and after the tortoises, the birds. He went after the birds with his shotgun, collecting their skins, which were small enough to be conveniently shipped home to England. He observed that there were three closely similar species of mockingbirds, but on each island there was only one species. This gave him the idea that a single species had arrived on the islands and split into three after settling on different islands. He wrote in his notebook, "Such facts would undermine the stability of Species." He did not do so well with the finches. He collected large numbers of them but labeled members of various finch species as blackbirds and wrens and woodpeckers. After he arrived in London a year later, he showed the specimens to John Gould, an expert on birds. It was Gould who discovered that the birds now known as Darwin's finches are a closely related group of thirteen species. Darwin then saw that the finches provided stronger evidence than the mockingbirds of a single ancestral species splitting into many daughter species specialized to various environments and various ways of life.
The fourth component of the book is the political manifesto. The book, like the television series, has a political agenda, most visible in the chapters written by Paul Stewart. The agenda is a view of the world which may be called "Doom-and-Gloom Environmentalism," or perhaps more accurately "Black-and-White Environmentalism." The world is seen as sharply divided into black and white, with no shades of gray. White is wilderness, the natural environment as it was before humans invaded and ruined it. Small patches of white survive in protected areas such as the Galápagos and parts of the Amazonian jungle. Black is cities and roads and shopping malls and parking lots, the areas where nature has been expelled and human constructions dominate. Since world population and industry are growing, the black areas are increasing and the white areas decreasing. The planet is inexorably turning black, and our only hope of improvement is a radical change in our way of living. Since any radical change is unlikely, the appropriate response of an enlightened person is gloom and doom.
According to the black-and-white environmentalist view, the only possible futures for the islands are to be totally white, a natural wilderness preserved from human disturbance, or to be totally black, a community of human predators with no respect for nature. They can only be preserved forever as a permanent Garden of Eden or ruined forever as a profitable business run by a mafia of real estate speculators. As an example of this attitude, I quote the concluding sentences of Stewart's chapter on the discovery of the islands:
There seem to be no happy endings on Galápagos. In Chapter 7 we will find that our own times on the islands may yet prove the saddest of them all.
In Chapter 7, the chapter on conservation written by Godfrey Merlen, we find the same message:
The fact is that, in a truly fundamental way, biological equilibrium has been altered all over the world, leading to the present disaster.
If the activities of humans all over the world are considered to be a disaster, then the history of our species is indeed, as Macbeth said, a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I prefer the viewpoint of Hamlet, who said, "What a piece of work is a man!"
After one week visiting the Galápagos as a tourist, I cannot claim to be an expert. But I learned enough to convince me that the black-and-white view of the islands is wrong. I learned most from our professional guides, who are obliged by law to pass examinations every few years to make sure that they know the rules of the national park as well as the names and ecological relationships of the local plants and animals. They are not required to pass examinations about the human problems of the islands, but their knowledge of the human problems is as accurate as their knowledge of the fauna and flora. To me, the human problems are the most interesting. The Galápagos National Park was established by the government of Ecuador in 1959, comprising 97 percent of the land area of the islands. Within the park, entry is tightly restricted and private ownership is prohibited.
The remaining 3 percent of the area, including the places where human settlements had already existed on four islands, remained open for private ownership and development. The 1959 division worked well for forty years. Three percent of the land was ample for a small population of settlers, most of them employed in the administration of the park and in businesses catering to the needs of tourists. In 1986 the Galápagos Marine Resources Reserve was created, adding a large area of ocean to the national park. Within the marine reserve, fishing boats and tourist boats were restricted, and large tourist boats carrying hundreds of passengers were prohibited.
Human problems became acute during the last ten years, when the number of flights between the Ecuador mainland and the airport on Baltra adjoining Santa Cruz island increased dramatically. Visitors became more numerous and also wealthier, as tourist boats and hotels became more luxurious. The province of Galápagos, with its capital at Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal island, quickly became the richest province of Ecuador, and settlers poured in to share the wealth and seek their fortunes. The village of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz was closest to the airport and grew rapidly into a city. The price of real estate escalated.
The government found it easy to set strict limits to the numbers and movements of tourists, but it was politically impossible to set strict limits to the numbers and movements of settlers. The government could not forbid its own citizens to move from one province to another. After arriving on the islands and finding their development of property restricted by ecological rules, settlers organized protests and strikes against the local government. The park administrators now consider the most serious threat to the ecology of the islands to be the settlers and not the tourists.
Our guides described the continuing battle between libertarian settlers on the one side and environmentalist park administrators and government officials on the other. As long as both sides hope for total victory, no satisfactory solution to the problem is possible. The black-and-white view of the situation envisages only the total victory of one side or the other, either the settlers destroying the ecology or the park administrators expelling the settlers. Our guides do not believe in total victory for either side. They have their feet in both camps. They have lived their professional lives in the service of the park, educating the tourists and protecting the beauty of the islands, but they look forward to joining the private sector of the economy when they retire. They have had opportunities to invest in real estate on the islands, and the rising market will allow them an earlier and more comfortable retirement. They will do whatever they can as private citizens to spread ecological awareness among the settler population, and to develop their property in an ecologically responsible fashion.
Our guides see the future of the islands as a continuing compromise, with park administrators continuing to fight for the ecology and settlers continuing to fight for their freedom. The settlers know that their prosperity depends on the tourists who are attracted to the park, and the park administrators know that effective enforcement of their rules would be impossible without the cooperation of the provincial government elected by the settlers. The national government of Ecuador in Quito has the overall responsibility for maintaining the park and making the rules. The national government is generally in favor of a strict interpretation of the rules, but it must also be responsive to the complaints of the settlers. It is likely that the settlers will become politically stronger as their numbers and their wealth increase. An enduring compromise will probably require some yielding of economic development rights from settlers to the park and some yielding of territory from the park to settlers.
In the past, the most serious damage that the settlers have done to the ecology has been the release of imported species such as goats and pigs, which multiply rapidly, run wild, and devour the native vegetation. Where the native vegetation was destroyed by goats, the population of giant tortoises also dwindled rapidly. The greatest success of the park administration has been the organized extermination of feral goats and pigs on several islands. After the exterminations, the native plants recovered quickly.
The biggest extermination campaign, getting rid of 60,000 feral goats on the biggest island, Isabela, is now coming to an end. The weapon that defeated the goats was the "Judas goats," sterilized male animals that carry radio beacons so that they can be easily located. The Judas goats attract feral goats that can then be killed by hunters. Smaller introduced species such as rats and insects can probably not be exterminated at any reasonable cost. They are on the islands to stay. The islands will never be restored completely to their original state, but the elimination of goats and pigs can cure the worst of the damage. A park kept clear of the larger feral species, including humans, is a reasonable compromise between total preservation of the ecology and total freedom for the settlers.
To achieve a stable equilibrium between the park and the settlers for centuries to come, it would be desirable to get rid of boundaries dividing individual islands. Boundaries could be redrawn so that each island is wholly in the park or wholly outside. For example, the two heavily populated islands Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal might be opened and the two lightly populated islands Isabela and Floreana might be closed to settlers. If this land swap were done now, it would require moving about 4,000 settlers out of a total of about 40,000.
The advantage of the deal for the park would be to gain complete control of the biggest island, Isabela, which is also the most diverse ecologically and geologically. The advantage for the settlers would be to possess two complete islands with a large net increase of territory. The division of land area between park and settlers would become about 85 to 15 instead of the present 97 to 3. Whether such a resettlement can be negotiated, either now or in the future, remains to be seen. The disadvantages are as obvious as the advantages: for the settlers, uprooted lives, and for the park, diminished territory. Most likely, the present division of the islands will last a long time, until some quarrel between park and settlers causes an acute crisis and compels the national government to impose a more stable arrangement.
Since I grew up in England, I tend to think of all environmental problems in terms of English analogies. England emerged out of the last ice age only 15,000 years ago, even more recently than the Galápagos emerged from the ocean, and was colonized by species migrating from the European mainland. After the newly arrived species, human settlers came to England. When they arrived, England was a pristine wilderness, and we may imagine an international park administration set up then to preserve the ecology. What should the park administration have done? What fraction of the land should have been set aside as a permanent wilderness, and what fraction should have been open to settlers? We may imagine the park administration and the settlers quarreling about these questions in England, just as they do in the Galápagos today.
In the real world, when the settlers arrived in England ten thousand years ago, there were no park administrators and no barriers to settlement. England was overrun with settlers who did what they pleased with the wilderness, first building forts on hilltops, then chopping down trees and converting forest into farmland, then building villages in valleys and cities beside rivers, then covering the country with furnaces and factories and railways and roads, polluting the air with soot and the rivers with sewage. While they were destroying the wilderness and transforming the ecology, the settlers incidentally built cathedrals and gardens, wrote plays and poems, invented machines and discovered laws of nature. Finally, in the last century, the settlers, now fifty million strong, began to clean up the environment and take care of the wildlife. Today the English countryside is entirely man-made, quite different from the original wilderness of uninterrupted forest, but it is still beautiful, rich in variety of habitats and species. This English history raises another question. If England had been governed for the last ten thousand years like the Galápagos by a park administration, would the final result have been better?
After examining the example of England, I do not know whether, in the long run, any international park regime dedicated to preserving the wilderness could have achieved a better result than the settlers who took possession of the land free of all restraint. Taking a long view, I am equally uncertain about the future of the Galápagos. It may well be that in the long run the settlers will do better than the park. Human settlement and wilderness are equally a part of nature, and our task as custodians of the planet is to help them to coexist peacefully. To take care of the islands in the long run, we need both the park administration and the settlers. We cannot know what problems they will face. A human presence in the islands is important not only for the future of the Galápagos but for the future of Ecuador as a whole.
After our week in the islands, we spent a second week in Ecuador, in the Amazon jungle east of the Andes mountains. We stayed at Sacha Lodge, a tourist hotel deep in the jungle. The long trip down the river to the lodge reminded us of Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Our professional guides in the jungle are Amazonian natives who have grown up in that part of Ecuador. One of them was brought up by a grandfather who was a shaman, using the medicinal plants of the jungle to heal wounds and cure diseases. The grandson speaks five languages fluently, Spanish, English, and German as well as two native languages. Just as in the Galápagos, the guides are passionate environmentalists, expert in the ecology of the jungle, and also well informed about the human problems of the Amazon region. They intend to retire, as soon as they have saved enough money, to jobs in the private sector. They see the Amazon region, like the Galápagos, as a land of opportunity. For them too, ecological preservation and human presence go hand in hand.

Deceptive Sales Practices. Competition from Windows Office Live. Investigations from numerous state attorney generals, including Illinois and Texas.
This stock stinks, and I do not believe they have a competitive moat.
And now I hear what the real problem is:Naked Short selling! That must be it. It's not the deceptive sales practices, or the rampant trademark infringment. It couldn't be the useless tools this company is peddling to unsuspecting buyers hoping to expand to the online marketplace! No, none of that!I wish CEOs would spend more of their time running their companies rather than complaining about the emerging, unprovable short-selling conspiracy! I always allude it to the Wizard of Oz. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" Its simply misdirection. This company has several real problems. I don't believe Naked Short Selling plays a role in any of them.

What is Fenofibrate?
Lofibra 134 mg Cap
Drug Name:
Other Brand Names:
Tricor, Triglide
Fenofibrate is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "fibrates." It works by increasing the natural substance (enzyme) that breaks down fats in the blood. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. Lowering triglycerides in people with very high triglyceride blood levels may also decrease the risk of pancreas disease (pancreatitis). In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, drinking less alcohol, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.

Until we are fortunate enough to get an enlightened council and mayor, we will have to put up with this kind of nonsense. It's easy to do when you are not spending your own money. But it doesn't matter now, with the eyesore going next store to The Keg restaurant, the harbour front has been ruined. On another note, I would love for someone at The Telegram to investigate and tell us what the farce of road calming on Old Topsail Road cost us, before the election in the fall would be great.

Please explain how the building is an "eyesore". The traffic calming is the result of countless complaints from residents about people speeding down the road? So, what do you think is better? A few thousand dollars on this "farce" you speak of, or someone getting killed by a car driving 70 down Topsail Road. Perhaps you should run for council?

Vision 'evaluating new cities'; Are the Bahamas next?
Despite Vision Airlines' plan to drop five of its 24 routes, company COO David Meer says via a release that "we still offer a robust schedule of flights, and these few reductions will not significantly impact our revenue or passenger traffic."
RELATED: Vision axing service to 5 of its 24 cities
Additionally, he adds "we are currently evaluating the addition of a number of new cities that have solid passenger flow to Florida, Las Vegas and the Caribbean."
The Bahamas appears to be one of those destinations under evaluation.
The Tribune newspaper of the Bahamas reports Vision "will start non-stop jet service on a 136-seat Boeing 737 aircraft to Grand Bahama" from five U.S. cities. The service, to begin Nov. 11, will be from Baltimore/Washington; Fort Lauderdale; Louisville; Raleigh/Durham and Richmond.
The Freeport News of the Bahamas says the service will come through "a public/private partnership agreement that has been struck between the government and Vision Airlines."

TOMAH, Wisc. - Officers have been cleared in the fatal shooting of a suspect during a traffic stop on April 22. The Monroe County District Attorney determined officers acted with "tremendous courage" in using appropriate force to kill Seth McCloskey, 28.
The intense sequence was captured on dashcam, clearly showing McCloskey exit his vehicle and begin firing on officers. After firing, he returned to his vehicle to attempt an escape, but was shot and killed by officers.
Officer Josh Kenworthy was shot in the foot by McCloskey, losing part of a toe in the process. According to the LaCrosse Tribune, Kenworthy was unaware he'd been shot until the gunfight had concluded and he noticed an exit hole in his right boot. He should be able to return to work in 12 weeks.
According to the Chicago Tribune, McCloskey may be linked to at least 10 random shootings in Wisconsin and Illinois. His red truck, seen in the video, matches one that witnesses have placed at recent drive-by shootings.

Watch Millen dance with his new Genesis Coupe at Long Beach
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Apr 17th, 2012 at 12:58PM
Earlier this month, Rhys Millen took to Formula Drift Long Beach to introduce his newly updated 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe racer. After securing second place during qualifying and besting Nick D'Alessio in the top 32 battle, Millen spun on his second run of the top 16 contention versus Daigo Saito. Saito was 2011's D1 Japan champion. The spin knocked Millen from a shot at the podium all the way to sixth place, where he tied with Tyler McQuarrie with a combined 64 points. With a total of six rounds left in the season, Millen and the Hyundai crew still have a shot at nabbing a championship... Read More

Anyone a COPE Clinical Care Extender?
- 0Feb 3, '09 by nursing_hopefulHi there,
I am looking into volunteering in the COPE Clinical Care Extender program in Southern California. If you could help answer a few questions, that would be great!
1. How hard is it to get into volunteering for this opportunity? (I do not have ANY healthcare experience. At most, I'm taking my first nursing pre-requisite class.)
2. What hospital did you or do you volunteer at? What kind of experiences did/do you have?
I'm starting to prepare myself for a 2nd career in the healthcare industry (possibly nursing but I'm not sure yet). I already have a bachelor's degree and hope to volunteer at a hospital to get me better exposure at what healthcare professionals do.
Thanks so much for your time!
- 1Feb 4, '09 by shelbiasThe CCE program is the best way for a person with no medical background to see if a career in the healthcare industry is right for them. I was in the program for a couple of months until schedule conflicts at work and school prevented me from participating.
1. All you need to do is send your application. Once selected, they will ask you to come in for an interview. Just do your best and answer their questions. That's pretty much how I got in.
2. I did all of my clinical shifts at Queen of the Valley Hospital in West Covina. It's a bigger facility than the other options.
Good luck!
- 1Feb 6, '09 by Maikafer-RNI didn't find it to be too difficult to get "hired."
Pretty much everyone who filled out an application was told to come for an interview. They were group interviews with about 4 applicants and 2 interviewers. We each got 2 or 3 questions (I think) and then I forget what happened after that (whether they told us on the spot or if we got a call).
I had to do 3 8 hour days of orientation (all on weekends) - but lunch and breakfast were provided.
You need to get BLS certified and get a TB test and your Hep B (which you'll need anyways if you're going into nursing).
I had no healthcare experience prior to this and actually hadn't even been in a hospital before and I thought it was an excellent opportunity for me. I felt like once I was in nursing school, I wasn't afraid to talk to patients or other nurses and I felt comfortable in the hospital setting.
I did my CCE at Hoag Hospital in Newport. I had rotations through medical pulmonary, telemetry, GI lab and L&D but the hospital pretty much offered experiences in any unit (even ER and sub-ICU I believe).
They are a really nice hospital and I hoped that my experience there would help me get a job once I finished school but they never posted any openings for new grads and every time i called they kept telling me to check online...but anyways...I say go for it and try to do as much as you can while you're there.
- 0Mar 7, '09 by jordangirl2345what kind of questions do the ask in the interview??? I didn't know it would be so much like the hiring process in order to be able to volunteer!
- 0Jan 16, '10 by mellowyellow2I recently went through the entire interview/app process a week before christmas.
My location was at St. Mary's Medical Center in Long Beach.
You have to schedule an interview online and yes, dress business casual. They asked us to bring our applications to the interview and there were about 10 applicants and 3 people doing the interview. I think there are a total of about 5 or 6 questions and the first few are kind of icebreaker questions and more laid-back. There were about 3 or 4 questions that really got to the root of what they were looking for. Just be sure you're able to commit to the program of working at least once a week for 3-4 hours, have a true goal of being in healthcare, and just really be yourself. Generic answers are not always the best bet.
For instance, when asking what quality you'll bring to the program, trust me, someone will say "hardworking."
Sometimes they let you choose which questions to answer, but for the in depth questions they ask everyone their own question and some questions are repeated(used more than once).
There is also a written essay that they make you do before the interview starts. Nothing too difficult, just an opinion essay.
They email to let you know your acceptance and they require you to have a TB test from the last 3 months, 2 MMR shots in your lifetime, Hep B, and to be CPR certified. Everything else they'll let you know once you start the program.
Hope this helps!
- 1May 31, '10 by dowens8It's not like a work interview at all. Most people that interview get in. They ask questions like if you come across someone who starts throwing up what do you do. Are you able to to handle stressful situations and if you need to throw up what do you do. But even if you answer wrong they don't really care they just want to see if your compitent.
- 0Jun 1, '10 by dowens8You get this like packet and for the 3 days of training you go over everything and then your tested on it. I studied the night before and got an A on it but if things don't come easy to you just read over the whole manual and they tell you most of the things that are on the test. So they will tell you to star this slide or what not. So it's not very hard. you must get 80% to enter into program.
