Product Quality
Comment:I recently purchased a Porter Cable Cordless tool package from your site. I purchased this package as I had prior experience with this product, and knew that these were the tools for me. Just holding the tools, provides a since of quality which you can feel. and actually using the tools simply reinforces this feeling of quality as you perform your drilling and cutting activities. Price for value was the reason that I picked your site for my purchase. Thank YouMrrite53California

Four quarters running, hogmeister Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG ) has confounded the critics by beating estimates and, in three cases, beating last year's record for earnings. But can it repeat the feat when reporting Q3 earnings Friday morning?
What analysts say:
- Buy, sell, or waffle? The 17 analysts who ride herd on Harley aren't so sure. Only four of them rate the stock a buy, a round dozen say you should only hold it, and one even thinks Harley's a sell.
- Revenues. Sales are expected to drop 6% to $1.53 billion this quarter.
- Earnings. Profits are predicted to fall twice as hard, down 12% to $1.05 per share.
What management says:
Interesting dynamic here: Sales were up nearly 18% year over year in Q2, but no thanks to you. According to CEO Jim Ziemer, sales through U.S. hog shops dropped 5.5%. What saved the quarter? Europe. And Japan. Outside our borders, Harley is riding high, with double-digit sales growth practically everywhere you look. What's up with that? Perhaps it's just that U.S. buyers sat out the quarter in expectation of the 2008 line of bikes, which was introduced in July. In September, though, management announced a big cut on their 2007 outlook, lowering previous full-year revenue and EPS guidance.
What management does:
Harley's gross margins have been sliding for the past several quarters, but up until we heard the guidance last quarter, it was looking like operating and net margins had stabilized. In its September guidance update, though, management flatly said to expect "lower operating margins," so don't look for the trends to improve anytime soon. Still, rivals Honda (NYSE: HMC ) and Polaris (NYSE: PII ) would kill for the chance to suffer those numbers. And don't even get me started on Harley's four-wheeled cousins Ford and GM. Those two are just happy when they post numbers without having to append a negative sign.

One Fool says:
So is there anything about Harley that could use a tune-up? Yes, and it's way overdue. That "thing" would be the continuing issue with inventories. I've talked about this problem so long I'm feeling hoarse (quite a trick, considering all I do is type), so I won't rehash it all here. Suffice it to say that with sales up 5% year to date, I'm concerned that inventories are still up 30% in comparison to the first half of fiscal 2006. While the recent strike at the company's York, Pa., plant probably means that the inventory situation isn't quite as bad as it looks, it looks really bad. So bad that I continue to believe this issue bears watching.
What was that about inventories again? And what strike is Rich talking about? Read all about both in:

New Test Identifies 193 Illness-causing Bacteria and Yeasts »

Read the New Test Identifies 193 Illness-causing Bacteria and Yeasts article »
Zmax is indicated for the treatment with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible isolates of the designated microorganisms in the specific conditions listed below. [See Clinical Studies]
Acute bacterial sinusitis in adults due to Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis or Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Community-acquired pneumonia in adults and pediatric patients six months of age or older due to Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Streptococcus pneumoniae, in patients appropriate for oral therapy. Pediatric use in this indication is based on extrapolation of adult efficacy. [See Use In Specific Populations]
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Zmax and other antibacterial drugs, Zmax should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment to determine the causative organism and its susceptibility to Zmax. [See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY] Therapy with Zmax may be initiated before results of these tests are known; once the results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
Zmax should be taken as a single 2 g dose. Zmax provides a full course of antibacterial therapy in a single oral dose. It is recommended that Zmax be taken on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours following a meal).
Pediatric Patients
For pediatric patients 6 months and older, Zmax should be taken as a single dose of 60 mg/kg (equivalent to 27 mg/lb) body weight. The Zmax dose in mL is equivalent to the child's weight in lb (1 mL/lb dose, see Table 1 below), for a body weight of less than 75 lb (34 kg). It is recommended that Zmax be taken on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours following a meal).
Pediatric patients weighing 75 lb (34 kg) or more should receive the adult dose (2 g).

aTo ensure accurate dosing, a dosing spoon, medicine syringe, or cup is recommended. |
Additional Treatment After Vomiting With Zmax
In the event that a patient vomits within 5 minutes of administration, the health care provider should consider additional antibiotic treatment since there would be minimal absorption of azithromycin. Since insufficient data exist on absorption of azithromycin if a patient vomits between 5 and 60 minutes following administration, alternative therapy should be considered. Neither a second dose of Zmax nor alternative treatment is warranted if vomiting occurs ≥ 60 minutes following administration, in patients with normal gastric emptying. In patients with delayed gastric emptying, alternative therapy should be considered.
Instructions For The Pharmacist
Constitute with 60 mL of water and replace cap. Shake bottle well before dispensing. Do not refrigerate. Constituted suspension should be consumed within 12 hours.
For pediatric dosing in patients weighing less than 75 lb (34 kg), use of a dosing device is recommended. The pharmacist should inform the patient's caregiver that any suspension remaining after dosing MUST be discarded.
Dosage Forms And Strengths
Each bottle of Zmax contains azithromycin dihydrate equivalent to 2 g of azithromycin. After constitution with 60 mL of water, each mL of suspension contains 27 mg of azithromycin. The suspension is a white or off-white color and has a cherry/banana flavor.
Storage And Handling
NDC 0069-4170-34 for combined adult and pediatric use is supplied in bottles containing 2 g of azithromycin and should be constituted with 60 mL of water.
Before constitution, store dry powder at or below 30oC (86oF).
After constitution, store suspension at 25oC (77oF); excursions permitted to 15-30oC (59-86oF) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Constituted suspension should be consumed within 12 hours. For adult patients, the entire bottle should be consumed. For pediatric patients, any suspension remaining after dosing MUST be discarded.

Last minute "see you at the caff" arrangement to meet up with the road ride, ride up on my own, the short quick way, quite a grey and mizzly struggle, iPod on LOUD.
At the top of the last hill before the caff I get a feeling in my water that they're just behind me, stop and get rid of the water in a hedge then cruise back down a few hundred metres and there they are, strung out.
Swing round, join in, chat. Apparently the average speed goes up 2mph.
Only 20 minutes before there had been chat about how nice a ride it had been so far without me, no cocking around, no sprinting for signs, no gradually upping the pace, just a nice steady ride.
Still, it wasn't me that went to the front up the next climb.

Angina bullosa haemorrhagica: lesional immunostaining and haematological findings. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 2446654 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The aetiology of angina bullosa haemorrhagica remains obscure. Fourteen patients with clinical features suggestive of angina bullosa haemorrhagica were investigated. Haemostatic function tests were carried out on an initial 5 patients and immunostain studies on a total of 12 patients. The results indicate that the aetiology of angina bullosa haemorrhagica is associated with neither a haemostatic defect, nor an immunopathogenic basis, and the cause is, as yet, unclear. |

Am just setting up logrotate on an Apache server for the first time, but there is one aspect of its configuration I can't find in the documentation.
Currently, logs rotate just after 4am every Sunday morning. But logrotate is set up to run daily. What tells logrotate that Sunday is the correct day to do this?
I really want to make log rotation monthly (which is pretty simple using Webmin), but want to make sure that the logs will rotate in the early hours of the 1st day of the month.
Any help in clearing the fog would be much appreciated :)

| Digital KnightDK1436S"The
Lexington" A
unique, exclusive |
While very effective and efficient, "The Lexington" is obviously also a very specialized heat transfer press and is used mostly for commercial applications.
Without exception, every customer who has purchased the DK1436S has needed one of two benefits. First, they have needed the ability to press unusually long or wide items. The second reason is because they have needed the ability to heat press many multiples of the same items.
In the latter case, the specific 14"x 36" size allowed them to transfer more of what they were doing, simultaneously, than the other press sizes.
In the case of "The Lexington", we suggest (as we always do) that you carefully consider what type of products you will be working with the most. If the DK1436S is not best suited for the primary work that you will be doing, consider another heat press.
The DK20S (16x20) is an excellent, all-round large heat press. The DK20JS (20x25) will fit most needs for a very large press. The DK1820ST, "The Uniform King", delivers efficiency and adaptability for 2-sided transferring onto shirts and uniform tops, while nothing beats the DK1820S, "The Tile Master", for speed, power and productivity in ceramic tile sublimation.

SecurityNews and EditorialsWarhol worms? Nicholas C Weaver has done a worst-case analysis on just how quickly a virulent worm could infect essentially all of the vulnerable systems on the net. The answer: 15 minutes. One could quibble with the details and assumptions of the analysis, but the answer remains the same. A carefully-written worm could propagate worldwide in a very short period of time.This, of course, is a scary result. In 15 minutes, very little can be accomplished with things like security alerts, worm analysis, and patches. By the time anybody knows there is a problem, it's over. Some malware writer is sure to see an analysis of this type as a challenge; the probability of a high-speed worm in the near future seems high. The net, as it stands now, is a frighteningly vulnerable place. The August CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter. Bruce Schneier's CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter for August is out. Topics discussed include Code Red and the arrest of Dmitry Sklyarov. The truth is that we all got lucky. Code Red could have been much worse. It had full control of every machine it took over; it could have been programmed to do anything the author imagined, including dropping the entire Internet. It could have spread faster and smarter. It could have exploited several vulnerabilities, and not just one. It could have been stealthier. It could have been polymorphic. The newsletter also points to a biography of 'Alice' and 'Bob' by John Gordon that is well worth a read. Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt, with someone she doesn't trust, whom she cannot hear clearly, and who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax returns and to organize a cout d'etat, while at the same time minimizing the cost of the phone call. A coding theorist is someone who doesn't think Alice is crazy. Security ReportsBuffer overrun vulnerabilities in fetchmail. "antirez" (Salvatore Sanfilippo) has posted an advisory regarding two buffer overrun vulnerabilities in the much-used fetchmail program. Given a hostile server, arbitrary code can be run on the system running fetchmail. The solution is to upgrade to fetchmail 5.8.17. Distributors have been a bit slow in coming out with updates; here's what we have so far.Debian security update to Window Maker. The Debian Project has issued a security update to Window Maker fixing a buffer overrun problem that could, conceivably, be exploited remotely. Debian groff update. Debian has posted a security advisory for groff to address printf format string vulnerabilities. No other distributors have yet issued updates for this problem. Local root vulnerability in TrollFTPD. The TrollFTPD FTP server contains a buffer overflow problem which could result in root access for local users. The solution is to upgrade to version 1.27 or later. Note that the Pure-FTPd server, which is derived from TrollFTPD, is not vulnerable to this problem.

According to the FreeS/WAN home page, 'DES is, unfortunately, a mandatory part of the IPSEC standard. Despite that, we will not implement DES. We believe it is more important to provide security than to comply with a standard which has been subverted into allowing weak algorithms.'" A new system fingerprinting tool.

TELL CITY - The Golden Living Center-Lincoln Hills will hold its annual resident council Christmas bazaar from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at the center, located at 402 19th St. in Tell City.
Craft items, new and gently used items, candy, baked goods and more will be for sale. Proceeds will go to the Golden Living Center-Lincoln Hills resident council.
NEW BOSTON - St. John's Lutheran Church, one half-mile west of New Boston, will hold a Christmas bazaar from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Items include crafts, needle work, apple dumplings and homemade candies. Baked goods will include springerles, turnip kraut, turnip slaw, jellies, produce and more.
Soups, sandwiches and pie will be available throughout the day. Special soup will be sold by the gallon; anyone interested in purchasing a gallon must bring their own container. Everyone is welcome to the event.
In the Nov. 19 issue of The News, a few disturbing facts came to light about the number of women in Perry County who smoke or have smoked during pregnancy. It's chilling to realize that 47 percent of our county's pregnant women smoke, not only exposing themselves to the harmful effects of the toxins of cigarettes but exposing their babies to them as well.
The Perry County News continues to be far and away the most subscribed-to periodical here at home, with more than 75 percent of households receiving the newspaper via subscriptions or newsstands.
Community newspapers like ours are still in demand and while papers like ours have certainly felt the effects of the recession, we're faring better than many dailies.
I'm writing in response to Indiana Ninth District U.S. House Rep. Baron Hill's column appearing in The News Nov. 12 issue.
TELL CITY - "Have you admired the beautiful landscaping around the Lutheran Church on 12th Street (or) walked the new Perry County Greenway?" asked Tell City High School senior Alex Flynn.
TELL CITY - Tell City's advisory plan commission made quick work of three requests during their regular meeting Nov. 12.
First on the agenda was a request by Automated Routing to vacate an alley between Blum and Gutenberg streets that passes between buildings it has purchased from Swiss Plywood. Automated Routing's Justin Schaefer said vacating the alley would eliminate traffic concerns and allow the company to install large commercial doors that would still allow access for company vehicles and city utility trucks. The city will maintain utility lines in the area.
PERRY COUNTY - Sleigh bells will ring Friday and Sunday as Santa Claus, himself, visits Perry County for a pair of weekend parades. Cannelton's parade Friday, sponsored by Harry G. Myers American Legion Post 142 and its auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion detachment, will begin at 7 p.m.
Lineup will begin at 6 p.m. on Old Indiana 237 across from Canary's Power Equipment. The parade route will proceed along Indiana 66 to the stop light at Washington Street, where entries will turn right and proceed to First Street by the floodwall, where they will disband.
TELL CITY - "We had a pretty bad year on health insurance" in 2009, Pete Franzman told county commissioners Nov. 18, introducing his discussion of proposals for 2010.
More than $300,000 of last year's expenses "bled over" into this year, he said at the commissioners' regular meeting, and this year featured a lot of large, medium and small claims.

Lana Del Rey - Live @ iTunes Festival 2012 - Full Concert
Lana Del Rey did a whole show last night during the iTunes Festival at London's classic venue the Roundhouse. We love that she has one album out and it came out this year no less, but her songs sound like absolute classics. It's madness, haha. Her string quartet adds so much depth to her songs and that wistful piano makes our body ache from pleasure. Video Games was so cute and relaxed with Lana stepping down to her fans. Body Electric was the only track added and featured on the Paradise Edition of Born To Die that was performed, and we cannot wait to hear Ride and Cola performed live! Naturally National Anthem is the perfect concert closer with its dramatic and majestic tone. Check out the full concert below! Enjoy!
1. Blue Jeans
2. Body Electric

COLUMBIA — World champion disc golfer, Adam Morrison, placed second in the Show-Me State Games on Saturday.
The Games took place in Albert-Oakland Park, where Morrison has practiced disc golf since he was 5 years old. He is familiar with the course, as well as the clang of chains when his disc lands inside the elevated metal baskets.
But things didn't go as well as he had hoped.
"After getting in at 2 a.m., I was definitely not in prime condition to throw," said Morrison, 19, who returned early from a Wisconsin vacation to make the tournament. "I just wanted to get out there and support the Show-Me State Games today."
Tyler Landreth shot 104 in two rounds, beating Morrison who shot 107 in the 19-29 male division.
"A strong mental game is all it takes," Morrison said. "Anyone can do it if you don't let your errors get in the way of more success on the course."
Morrison won the 2012 PDGA 19-and-under Disc Golf Amateur World Championship last Saturday. The World Championships were held in Charlotte, N.C with more than 1,100 players competing in the event.
"I think he won it from the neck up," said his father, Paul Morrison. "He never let the bad shots get to him. He stayed very steady and didn't let the good shots get to him either."
During the fifth hole of the last round in the World Championships, the second place golfer, Stephen Economos, drove out of bounds twice, giving Adam Morrison a 5-stroke lead with four holes left to play.
"I had momentum on my side," Adam Morrison said. "I knew that with the way I was playing and with the way he was feeling emotionally, there was no way he was going to catch me."
After Adam Morrison hit the winning putt, he turned to his father and gave him a hug.
"He has always been a key part in my game with helping me stay focused and keeping my eye on the prize," Adam Morrison said.
A week after Morrison's victory in the World Championships, Landreth defeated him in the Show-Me State Games by 3 strokes.
"Coming in to the tournament, people told me he was the one I'd have to worry about," Landreth said. "It was fun playing with the guy who got to experience that."
Morrison congratulated Landreth on his victory after the tournament.
"One or two strokes can cost you a whole lot and you can just have a bad round," Paul Morrison said. "Everybody has off days."
Adam Morrison is the first Missourian to hold a world title in disc golf.
"It took 14 years but I kept working towards it," he said. "It's kind of cool that I'm setting that kind of standard and that's something that can never be taken away from me."

Last Tuesday, the fishing aboard the Northwestern is excellent and the cast and crew of Deadliest Catch filled their tanks to the brim in anticipation.
But an ineffective propeller, an unexpected sabotaging, an accident caused by an inexperienced deckhand and many other obstacles forced the fishermen to alter their strategy... and confront dangerous conditions.
As our episode guide to "Cheating Death" makes abundantly clear, there was no shortage of near-misses for this risk-taking bunch of seafarers.
No rest, Thirty-foot swells. Tensions pushed to the brink and loyalties called into question. What will transpire when the Deadliest Catch crew returns to an unforgiving sea again this evening on the Discovery Channel?Â
We'll be right here watching and will have an episode guide up tomorrow. This and the Dancing With the Stars results show make tonight a can't miss evening for fans of reality TV.

Assignable |
Detailed Description
A type is Assignable if it is possible to copy objects of that type and to assign values to variables.
- Refinement Of:
- Associated Types:
- Notation:
A type that is a model of Assignable x
Object of type X
- Definitions:
- Valid Expressions:
Name Expression Type requirements Return type Copy constructor X(x)
Copy constructor X x(y); X x = y;
Assignment x = y
Swap adobe::swap(x,y)
- Expression Semantics:
Name Expression Precondition Semantics Postcondition Copy constructor X(x)
is a copy ofx
[2]Copy constructor X(x)
is a copy ofx
[2]Copy constructor X x(y); X x = y;
is a copy ofy
[2]Assignment x
is a copy ofy
[2]Swap adobe::swap(x,y)
[3]Equivalent to { X tmp = x; x = y; y = tmp; }
- Complexity Guarantees:
- Invariants:
- Type(s) Modeling this Concept:
- int
- Notes:
- [1] One implication of this requirement is that a
type is not Assignable. For example,const int
is not Assignable: ifx
is declared to be of typeconst int
, thenx = 7
is illegal. Similarly, the typepair<const int, int>
is not Assignable.
- [2] The reason this says "
is a copy ofy
", rather than "x == y
", is thatoperator==
is not necessarily defined: equality is not a requirement of Assignable. If the typeX
is EqualityComparable as well as Assignable, then a copy ofx
should compare equal tox
- [3]
will not throw an exception for an assignable type. For types with remote parts,adobe::swap
must be specialized to swap the remote parts.
- [4] It is assumed that adobe::swap() will not throw an exception. Items with remote parts much specialize swap as described in swap.

Please re-do "Kimi no Iru Machi" chapter 106
24th September 2010 11:49 | #1 |
Regular User
"Kimi no Iru Machi" chapter 106 was very poorly done. A lot of Japanese was not fully translated to English and the guy did such a poor job. I understand that he is new but he does not have to give an intro about him at the first page. Please change the first page to the same as the previous chapter and get all the translation done. I appreciate all the work. Cheers |

An interesting conversation with a European neurosurgical colleague, who decries the "gun culture" of America, took place that may be of interest to readers of GOPUSA. The dialogue began with a difference of opinion on an unrelated topic, but in the course of that exchange, I happened to innocently use a figure of speech that offended the other party, and the conversation below ensued.
The once-respected American Medical Association wants your doctor to butt into your constitutional right to own firearms.
Although only an embarrassingly low 32 percent of American physicians are members of AMA, the organization claims to speak for all doctors.
If your doctor is among the majority of physicians who are not AMA members, perhaps he could give you a laundry list of reasons for a refusal to participate. They could range from nonsense bureaucracy to politics.
What's wrong with this picture? I refer to the latest shooting, February 7, in which a 17-year-old man at a Monroeville Pennsylvania mall shot three people. The brief AP story was remarkably shallow and riddled with errors due to media bias. The story went on, "Pennsylvania native and ex-NFL quarterback Terrelle Pryor tweeted Saturday that he was at the mall, when the shooting occurred. 'Damn was just in Monroeville mall and just saw 2 ppl get shot.
Abstract — En la práctica de la medicina, el cirujano no puede garantizar el resultado porque pueden ocurrir complicaciones; lo mismo puede pasar con las armas de fuego, que pueden ser usadas indebidamente por personas que no deberían tenerlas. Los políticos no deben utilizar tragedias debido a tiroteos callejeros como pretexto para dictar leyes que restrinjan la libertad a los ciudadanos que respetan las leyes, son responsables y saben que la libertad va junto con sus derechos constitucionales y responsabilidades civiles.
Over the years, in both commentaries and letters to the editor in my local newspaper, I have noted the naïve expression of many letter writers and liberal pundits, who glossing over the Constitutional protections guaranteed by the 4th and 5th Amendments, opine, "If you don't have anything to hide, then you don't have anything to fear!" When the Soviet KGB needed culprits, their motto was "Show me the man and I will show you his crime." In other words, charges can be brought against anyone, once the State has decided to trample on the rights of any targeted citizen.

Research Europe Reporter: Hi Dr. Faria, I am a reporter for Research Europe, and I cover US research and science policy news. I am hoping to speak with you today because I am writing an article about the fact that President Obama has issued a memorandum directing the CDC and other scientific agencies to research the causes and prevention of gun violence, loosening the current restrictions on federal funding in that field.
David Oedel is incorrect in his assertion ("A right to armed revolt?", 1/27) that Justice Scalia's opinion in D.C. vs. Heller limits the right to keep and bear arms to weapons "in common use at the time" the Second Amendment was ratified. In fact, in his decision Justice Scalia characterizes such arguments as "bordering on the frivolous."
Pediatrician asks 13-year-old girl whether her parents smoke or own a gun, how much alcohol they drink, whether they use drugs, and how her parents "get along." Neither parent was present during the questioning, as would be required if the girl were accused of a crime.

Abstract — Gun violence and, most recently, senseless shooting rampages continue to be sensitive and emotional points of debate in the American media and the political establishment. The United Nations is already set to commence discussing and approving its Small Arms Treaty in March 2013. And following the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy in the United States this past December, American legislators are working frantically to pass more stringent gun control laws in the U.S. Congress.
In a recent article, Bill Ferguson, a local columnist for The Telegraph (Macon, Georgia), attempts to give readers a strong political soporific, as to deaden their need to remain informed and vigilant when it comes to guarding their Second Amendment rights from usurpation by a UN treaty.(1) But before that, he takes a swipe at conservatives, while intimating that he himself is a moderate Republican and was even a Romney supporter in the last election.(2) Once again, we have a liberal writer masquerading as a reluctant Republican or centrist, as to make his snake oil elixir a bit mo
In Part I of this three-part series I laid out the background and general intentions of public health gun control activists in the early years of their campaign. In this part we relate the events that led to exposure of the Centers for Disease Control in its crucial roles.
That [public health researchers] prefer the term "gun violence" is revealing
of their mind set in approaching the problem, because it puts the emphasis
on guns and not on the humans who misuse them.
Dr. Timothy Wheeler, Director,
Doctors for Responsibie Gun Ownership (DRGO)
Georg Hegel (1770-1831), the father of dialectical idealism, which Karl Marx transmogrified as Marxist dialectical materialism, lamented that what we do learn from history is that man does not learn its lessons!
AJC Reporter (Questions): Hello — This is Craig Schneider with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution [AJC]. I am writing a story on the controversy surrounding gun-related research, and I would greatly appreciate if you would give me a call.
Dr. Miguel Faria (Answers): Hi Craig, I received your questions and have arranged them in a question and answer format for convenience.
The latest shooting rampage of 26 people, including six adults and 20 children in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012, is a senseless tragedy, and words cannot convey the horror and the magnitude of the loss of innocent life. The second deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was carried out by 20-year-old Adam Lanza (photo, left), a loner with a personality disorder — and in critical need of psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then.
— Thomas Jefferson
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.
— Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles
of the Federal Constitution, 1787
DATELINE: Warsaw, Poland, 1943
In the wake of President Barack Obama's re-election on November 6, 2012, and the virtual demoralization of Republicans, it is important to recognize that the political mastery of the left does not last forever. Moreover, three new conservative, pro-Second Amendment senators and several freshmen representatives were elected. A solid Republican majority was preserved in the House of Representatives. So, the election did not mean complete defeat for the GOP.
The need for reducing gun violence is discussed along with the necessity for citizens to assume some responsibility for protecting themselves, their families, and their property from criminal elements because the police cannot physically be everywhere to protect us all of the time. The problem of sensationalization of gun crimes by the media, multiple shootings by deranged individuals, accidents with firearms, suicide rates, and children with guns are discussed.
The role of gun violence and street crime in the United States and the world is currently a subject of great debate among national and international organizations, including the United Nations. Because the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the individual right of American citizens to own private firearms, availability of firearms is greater in the U.S. than the rest of the world, except perhaps in Israel and Switzerland.
Charles Richardson's informative column on Macon and Bibb County crime statistics points out that while aggravated assaults have declined in the city and county, residential burglaries are up 6% over last year. These burglaries are associated with drugs and violence. The reality is that police cannot be everywhere all the time to protect our homes. Roadblocks and visible police presence may deter crime briefly, but unless we turn society into a police state even those measures will not suffice. Citizens must take some responsibility for their own safety.
Abstract — The AMA Council on Scientific Affairs did not conduct a rigorous scientific evaluation before supporting a ban on assault weapons. The Council appears to have unquestioningly accepted common misperceptions and even partisan misrepresentations regarding the nature and uses of assault weapons. This article examines the pivotal issues and proposes a rational approach to gun control and more effectual measures to reduce violence in our society.

"Violence in America — Effective Soutions" by Suter EA, Waters WC, Murray GB, et al. was originally published in the Journal of the Medical Association of Georgia, Volume 85, June 1995, pp 253-263 while Dr. Miguel A. Faria served as Editor-in-Chief of that medical journal. The following link is provided for readers who wish to read the entire article: http://rkba.org/research/suter/violence.html.
Abstract — Errors of fact, design, and interpretation abound in the medical literature on guns and violence. The peer review process has failed to prevent publication of the errors of politicized, results-oriented research. Most of the data on guns and violence are available in the criminological, legal, and social sciences literature, yet escapes acknowledgment or analysis of the medical literature.
Deja Vu in Medical Care
Science is concerned with the acquisition of knowledge and the pursuit of certainty, elusive as these noble goals may be, in contradistinction to bolstering ignorance, superstition, or willful misunderstanding. After all, science is charged with the attainment of general truths and the solving of the riddle of the mechanics and operations of the general laws of the universe.
The lessons of history clearly demonstrate to those of us who care to look that whenever science and medicine have come to be under the heavy hand of government, political pressures, or subordinated to the state, the results have been as perverse as they have been disastrous. Towards this end, I would like to share with you an egregious chapter on the perversion of science in the name of politics and ideology that has come down to us from the recent historic record.
The 1991 American Medical Association (AMA) campaign against domestic violence (and towards gun control) launched for public relations and media consumption went hand in hand with a previously articulated (1979) U.S. Public Health Service objective of complete eradication of handguns in America, beginning with a 25% reduction in the national inventory by the year 2000!(1)
As a physician, I have always been a staunch supporter of public health in its traditional role of fighting pestilential diseases and promoting health by educating the public as to hygiene, sanitation, and preventable diseases, as alluded to in my book, Vandals at the Gates of Medicine; but I deeply resent the workings of that unrecognizable part of public health incarnated in the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) with its politicized agenda and proclivity towards result-oriented research based on junk science.

High stakes at 'Demofest' as elections approach
Kansas Democrats will gather in Wichita on Saturday for their annual "Demofest" convention, where they will approve a party platform and rally in support of Paul Davis and other statewide candidates.
The event runs all day and evening Saturday at the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview. Davis and other Democratic candidates will hold a rally at 4 p.m.
Dakota Loomis, spokesman for the party, said this year's convention has high stakes because Democrats appear to be competitive in a number of statewide elections, including the governor's race, where Davis leads Gov. Sam Brownback in several early polls.
"I think Demofest will be a jumping-off point for a lot of people for the final months of the campaign, so it will be to rally our supporters to get out to do the work we need to do to get people like Paul Davis and (secretary of state candidate) Jean Schodorf over the finish line in November," Loomis said.
"We want to talk about what's going on here in Kansas," he said. "We want to talk about how we can make Kansas a better place for families."
For tickets or questions, contact the Kansas Democratic Party at 785-234-0425.

2003: Year In Review What were the top stories of 2003? Here's our updated archive of year-end stories from publications around the world. ArtsJournal 12/28/03
A Nation Of Idiots? Or Just Navel-Gazers Addicted To TV? "The American intelligentsia is anxious these days... Anyone who watches television for more than five minutes can be forgiven for worrying about dumbing down, but the past year has seen a lively renewal of debate on this perennial topic." From Terry Teachout's blog post (here on ArtsJournal) calling for a re-embrace of 1950s-style "middlebrow" culture, to Curtis White's disgust with a new breed of self-important intellectual wannabes which "wants to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and has bought an SUV with the intent of visiting it," America's thinkers are unanimous that we need more old-fashioned thinking in our lives, but Canadian Kate Taylor feels they may be missing the point. The Globe & Mail (Canada) 12/31/03
Theoretically Speaking...Theory Might Be Dead For two decades now, the world of humanities studies has been ruled by theory. "But there are reports from the academic world that theory may have run out steam. 'Confidence in the technology of theory has faded. Theory's opacities and arcane terms may be entrenched, but 'they don't come at you with the old assurance and swagger." Boston Globe 12/28/03
The Nature OF Nurture (Or The Other Way Around) "Fifty years after the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, we are for the first time in a position to understand directly DNAs contribution to the mind. And the story is vastly different fromand vastly more interesting thananything we had anticipated. The emerging picture of natures role in the formation of the mind is at odds with a conventional view." Boston Review 12/03
Economist View: Gifts Are "Inefficient" Giving a present might make you feel good. But as an economic transaction, economists consider it inefficient. "So when I give up $50 worth of utility to buy a present for you, the chances are high that you'll value it at less than $50. If so, there's been a mutual loss of utility. The transaction has been inefficient and "welfare reducing", thus making it irrational. As an economist would put it, "unless a gift that costs the giver p dollars exactly matches the way in which the recipient would have spent the p dollars, the gift is suboptimal"." The Age (Melbourne) 12/24/03
The 17th Century Internet Think the internet is a revolution of sharing ideas? Nope. "The coffee-houses that sprang up across Europe, starting around 1650, functioned as information exchanges for writers, politicians, businessmen and scientists. Like today's websites, weblogs and discussion boards, coffee-houses were lively and often unreliable sources of information that typically specialised in a particular topic or political viewpoint. They were outlets for a stream of newsletters, pamphlets, advertising free-sheets and broadsides. Depending on the interests of their customers, some coffee-houses displayed commodity prices, share prices and shipping lists, whereas others provided foreign newsletters filled with coffee-house gossip from abroad." The Economist 12/18/03
Design For Design's Sake - Must We Always Be Entertained? "Highly noticeable design in itself has become an acknowledged competitive strategy, so that the public now expects to be perpetually captivated and entertained and flattered by the novelty and the variety of design in every kind of commodity, not just in the aspect of goods but in their physical ambience. Restaurants are as over-designed as the meals they serve; new boutiques selling wine or cheese or jams or cookies are fitted up like exquisite art galleries, with hushed spatial arrangements so arcane that the goods cannot readily be distinguished from the décor. Such establishments might not sit on the same street with the fake-ethnic diners, but the source of their overt allure is the same." The New Republic 12/12/03
Human Creativity vs. Human Crisis "Are we as a species really on the razor's edge between salvation and destruction? How does this impact the creative spirit of our generation?" Ben Tripp has had these and other fairly weighty questions on his mind of late, especially as the world appears to have settled into a near-permanent state of Global Crisis, which makes it fairly hard to concentrate on such niceties as Art. Still, we know from past experience that "the springs and freshets of Art will bubble up to wet the stoniest ground, if you must put it that way. But are all great works accomplished in the face of hardship, or can I get a massage?" CounterPunch 12/20/03
The Once And Future Toronto? There was a time when Toronto was one of the world's intellectual centers, writes Philip Marchand, a gathering place for the study of what used to be called "arts and letters," and there are those who believe it can be again. But as Canada embarks on a supposed 'new direction' under Prime Minister Paul Martin, one has to wonder about the priorities of the new PM and his countrymen. With the University of Toronto deemphasizing many of its less 'glamorous' departments and the country as a whole seemingly under-interested in the pursuit of studied thought for its own sake, can Toronto really be on the intellectual comeback trail? Toronto Star 12/20/03
Reasonable Faith, Or Faith In Reason? The 21st century's great intellectual conflict seems to be coming into focus, and it is a battle between Reason, the logic-based truth of scientists and academics; and Faith, the popular notion that truth is as much what we believe as what we can prove. The battle could be seen as a conflict between East and West, but those lines are blurring daily. It could be perceived as a battle between Left and Right, with the American right now teeming with evangelical Christians, and the left with secular intellectuals, but that leaves out the complicating factors of what is shaping up to be a truly global debate. "It is a conflict between competing certainties: between followers of Faith, who know because they believe, and followers of Reason, who believe because they know." The New York Times 12/20/03
The Commonplace Genius (What Fun Is That?) Is Mensa, the "genius" IQ organization, inflating applicants' test scores so as to boost its membership numbers? "Membership in the UK currently stands at a lowly 26,247 - the lowest figure in 15 years, more than 17,400 below the figure 10 years ago, when membership reached an all-time high of 43,652. While Mensa has a worldwide membership of 98,861, British Mensa, the heart and home of the society, is in a very sorry state indeed. So what has gone wrong? Well, pretty much everything..." Financial Times 12/14/03
Discrimination On The Basis Of... Not all generalizations are wrong. "Lawyers, philosophers and others have long pondered the legal and moral distinctions among discrimination, stereotyping and statistical probabilities, but they have not reached broad agreement. Beyond suspicions about rounding up the usual suspects, how do we know whether generalizations are based on sound empirical information or are a jumble of pop culture shorthand and bad science? What kinds of broad judgments are right and what kinds are wrong? How are categories constructed in the first place?" The New York Times 12/13/03
Theory Is Dead? "In the 1970's and 80's, legions of students and professors in humanities departments embraced the view that the world was a 'text' - that the personal and political were shaped by language and that literary and cultural critics possessed tools as powerful as those of, say, political scientists for understanding the world and effecting social change. While outside observers have long inveighed against theory's abstruse argot and political pretensions, this year theory seems to have lost much of its cachet, even among its would-be defenders." The New York Times Magazine 12/14/03
Stop Explaining My Art! Astronomers in Texas have determined that the famous figure in Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream, is meant to be reacting to a frightening, fiery Norwegian sunset, caused by the eruption of an Indonesian volcano. Kate Taylor would like these astronomers, and all other art-explaining scientists, to kindly take a seat and stop telling her what her favorite paintings are about. "The eager detectives who ferret out the scientific details of these artistic experiences always argue they don't mean to diminish the art, but that is the effect, however unintended, of their discoveries." The Globe & Mail (Canada) 12/13/03
It's Official - We're All Nerds "Over the past decade, those cultural phenomena that we once filed as geeky minority pursuits have become our masters. The internet now boasts a global community numbering 679 million. Video gaming pulls in more annual revenue than Hollywood. For its part, the film industry seems increasingly in thrall to the comic-book movie , the sci-fi epic and the wizard fantasy. Next week sees the release of the final instalment in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, awash with elves and hobbits and surely the most monumental nerd-fest of the lot. All of which raises some frightening implications. Could it be that there are more nerds today than there were before?" The Guardian 12/12/03
"Y" Me? Every generation has those writers who somehow help define it. But "Generation Y, the teens and early twentysomethings who are said to represent the biggest chunk of pop culture marketing power, have no one who has encapsulated their generation in their writing so far. Sure, there are some authors their age but they haven't produced a work meant to encapsulate the generation. Nor has one of them been called upon to become the chief essayist, chronicler or spokesperson for their peers. So where are they? 'This isn't a literary generation. It's the MTV/highspeed Internet generation'." MobyLives 12/10/03
Class Warfare Meets The Digital Divide The gap between countries with ready access to information technologies and the internet, and those without, is rapidly becoming the next likely staging ground in a global class war of haves and have-nots. A summit in Geneva is attempting to identify some potential solutions before the problem explodes into an open conflict which could result in the have-not countries setting up their own semi-global networks in an effort to sidestep American 'net dominance. But the major obstacle to finding an equitable solution appears to be that the countries with all the clout - most notably, the U.S. - have little to no interest in sharing their power. Wired (Reuters) 12/11/03
The Year That Was (And Not Any Better) Why do annual reports always make things look as rosy a possible, asks Theatre Communications Group director Ben Cameron. So his assessment of the current year in theatre business: "Conceived in affluent times, the 2002 fiscal year was one redefined by the events of 9/11, by unanticipated new patterns of audience behavior and fears of terrorism, by a crumbling national economy and rapidly escalating unemployment. As our recently released TheatreFacts 2002 demonstrates, it was a year in which local and city funding fell by 44 percent, in which the number of corporate donors fell, in which foundation funding slipped and in which field expenses grew more quickly than earned revenues. It was a year in which 54 percent of theatres finished the year with a deficita shocking slide from the 71 percent that had achieved a surplus just two years earlierand had not individual contributors rallied in unprecedented numbers, covering more than 20 percent of expenses, as opposed to the 9.6 percent covered five years agothe results would have been far worse." Theatre Communications Group 12/03
Should America Get To Control The Internet? Many Americans probably aren't aware that their country controls the global Internet, and the vast majority of information technologies which make it up. But the rest of the world is well aware of it, and many other countries aren't happy about it. "Some developing countries, including China, South Africa, India and Brazil, want control out of the hands of a private organization selected by the United States and instead with an intergovernmental group, possibly under the United Nations." Wired (AP) 12/09/03
Who Really Invented The Telephone? Did Alexander Graham Bell really invent the telephone? "Documents marked 'confidential' that recently were found buried in the archives of the Science Museum in London suggest British telephone executives covered up the fact that a German science teacher invented a working telephone 13 years before Alexander Graham Bell created a somewhat similar device." Discovery 12/09/03
Death Of Theatre Criticism? Theatre criticism is dying, writes Bill Marx. But why? "The fact is most of today's critics have no interest in ideas: they are functionaries who treat reviewing as diplomacy rather than provocation. Once criticism becomes a job, rather than an act of passionate thought, timidity inevitably follows. 'The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction,' proclaims poet William Blake. The consumer guide critics are winning; the horses that provide context are going to the glue factory on their knees. And a tear or two should be shed. But do not despair, because in the future the tygers of wrath will growl and a mad dog or two bark." WBUR (Boston) 12/04/03
Knowledge For Wisdom, Not Acquisition Academia screwed up, writes Nicholas Maxwell, and we need a revolution to fix it. "We urgently need to bring about a third intellectual revolution, one which corrects the blunders of the Enlightenment revolution, so that the basic aim of academia becomes to promote wisdom, and not just acquire knowledge. Every branch and aspect of academic inquiry needs to change if we are to have the kind of inquiry, both more rational and of greater human value, that we really need." The Philosopher's Magazine 12/03
The Downfall Of MTV "MTV has always pursued teenagers; what has changed is the sort of teenagers it is chasing, and what ideal of cool it established to court them. During the 1980s and early 1990s, the network tried to convert its viewers, suggesting to hungry-for-hipness suburban teens that there was something out there cooler and more compelling than their own high school melodramas. The gospel has since changed. What MTV is selling its teen audience now (with "Sorority Life," "Fraternity Life," "Spring Break: Cancun," a more juvenile "Real World") is a bland vision of the immediate future in which the first years of college look pretty much like high school, but without parents or homework. The focus is on having fun, not being challenged by new or different experiences." Washington Monthly 12/03
Is Copyright Killing Culture? "Culture as we know it is increasingly bound up in the very laws that are supposed to nurture it. Copyright law has gone from promoting creativity to hindering artistic expression, thanks in part to the efforts of a few giant corporations that are sitting on billions of dollars worth of intellectual property. Culture is paying the price for these bad laws. In fact, the labyrinth of copyright has already had a devastating effect on an entire art form." Durham Independent 12/03/03
Who Owns What After We've Bought It? This idea that companies ought to be able to control music after we've bought it is a flawed one. "The issue is one of who owns, or has rights to use our common culture. That means stuff we created ourselves, and only we can decide is worth sharing. And as many of you pointed out, what we call the 'entertainment industry' today is merely a distributor, much like the Victorian canal owners were in the last century, in Britain. The smarter Bridgewaters bought into the upcoming railways, while the dumber canal owners didn't, and died a natural death. Today's pigopolists don't "own" the culture simply by claiming that their exclusivity is based on technology - that's a social contract we don't buy, and history, in most cases, is on our side." The Register 12/03/03
In My Humble Opinion... "There are perhaps three types of opinion. The first is the educated man's opinion that certain popular beliefs are stupid. The second is the sort that drove Flaubert to near madness, the opinion that certain original thoughts are stupid. Third, there is the conventional "wisdom" about what is correct. Opinions flourish only in periods or cultures without a dominant religion." The Telegraph (UK) 12/02/03
Art - I Can't Conceptulaize It Is conceptual art really art at all? The debate never seems to end. "Conceptual art refuses to be judged in conventional artistic terms, in terms of the material art object. But nor can it be judged as a pure idea, either. The result is that it occupies a kind of no-man's land, where it is difficult to judge or hold it to account." spiked-culture 11/20/03

Takes Custody of Another Wayward Client
At last in U.S. military captivity, ousted former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein will soon mark an important 20th anniversary, the kind of anniversary that brings with it an appreciation of the ironies of life, and politics. His captor, Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, might also recall long-forgotten memories or memories best forgotten of what he was doing exactly 20 years ago. If so, he will remember that he was in Baghdad, as a special envoy from then-president Ronald Reagan, assuring his host that, to quote the secret National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) that served as his talking points: the United States would regard "any major reversal of Iraq's fortunes as a strategic defeat for the West." So began the effective resumption of close relations between Baghdad and Washington that had been cut off by Iraq during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Within a year, Washington would fully normalize ties with Saddam and even suggest that the dictator had become a full-fledged "Arab moderate," ready to make peace with Israel. Of course, the reason for this rapprochement nay, avid courtship was the bad turn that the war between Iraq and Iran had taken for Baghdad. A victory by Teheran, which seemed imminent, would pose a major threat to US interests in the Gulf, such as access to the region's oil. It was a question of the lesser of two evils, as explained succinctly by Howard Teicher, who worked on Iraq as a member of Reagan's National Security Council (NSC). "You have to understand the geo-strategic context, which was very different from where are now," he told the Washington Post earlier this year. "Realpolitik dictated that we act to prevent the situation from getting worse." It was presumably realpolitik that also persuaded Rumsfeld not to bring up Iraq's use of chemical weapons with Hussein in their first meeting Dec. 20, 1983, even though the administration knew about it. (After long insisting that he did raise the issue with Hussein, the recent release of State Department memoranda obtained by the National Security Archive has forced Rumsfeld to change his story. He did mention the issue, among many others, when he met with then-foreign minister Tariq Aziz separately.) For the next five years, Washington would quietly ensure that Saddam got all the military equipment he needed to stave off defeat, even precursor chemicals that could be used against Iranian soldiers and Kurdish civilians. Not that Washington supported the use of chemical weapons, particularly against civilians. It was more that the Reagan administration was very reluctant to condemn their use by Iraq back then. How much more of this intimate relationship Saddam will recall when he gets a public forum is undoubtedly a concern of many current and past administration figures. The situation echoes the worries of former US president George H.W. Bush over what Panamanian strongman Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega might say in open court about his long and intimate connections to US intelligence agencies when he surrendered to the U.S. military after Washington's invasion of Panama in 1989. Of course, Noriega was recruited while he was still in the military academy, and his rise to power was facilitated tremendously by those ties. He was a paid agent from the beginning, and, while a rogue who did not hesitate to intimidate and occasionally knock off a few dissidents to keep things quiet, he was never the mass murderer and serial invader of his neighbors that Saddam has been. On the other hand, Saddam was also a beneficiary of the CIA's help even if he did not get the kind of sustained attention that Noriega received and long before Rumsfeld's visit at that. According to an investigative report by Richard Sale of United Press International (UPI) published last April, Saddam's first contacts date back to 1959, when the CIA backed an assassination attempt in which he took part against then Iraqi prime minister Gen. Abd al-Karim Qasim, the man who overthrew the western-backed monarchy the year before. At the time, Iraq as in 1982 was seen as a key strategic asset, and Qasim's decision to withdraw from the Baghdad Pact and subsequently get cozy with Moscow was seen by Washington as a potentially disastrous setback. Saddam, an aspiring young Ba'athist tough, was handled on behalf of the CIA by a local agent and an Egyptian military attaché, who set him up in an apartment opposite Qasim's office, according to Adel Darwish, author of Unholy Babylon: The Secret History of Saddam's War, in an account backed up to UPI by U.S. officials. The specific hit, however, was botched when Saddam "lost his nerve," according to another UPI source. When Qasim was finally overthrown in a Ba'ath Party coup whether the CIA supported it is a matter of dispute, although the party's secretary-general at the time said, "We came to power on a CIA train" Saddam was back as head of the party's secret intelligence branch, and, according to Darwish, was leading execution squads of Iraqi National Guardsmen who were hunting down and killing suspected communists included on lists provided by ... the CIA. In the early 1970s, then-president Richard Nixon tilted definitively toward the Shah of Iran as the main protector of US interests in the Gulf. It was not until 1979, when the Shah was overthrown and Saddam installed himself as president of Iraq, that Washington once again began taking an interest in Baghdad's internal affairs, although no evidence of any link between Washington and Saddam's elevation has come to light. Washington's standoffishness changed when the incoming Reagan administration realized by late 1981 that Baghdad could lose the war with disastrous consequences for US interests in the region. In early 1982, it removed Iraq from the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, making Baghdad eligible for billions of dollars in agricultural credits and sales of "dual-use" equipment goods, such as chemical precursors, sophisticated communications equipment and technology that could be useful in weapons programs, with both civilian and military uses. As the Iranians continued to shift the strategic balance, however, the situation became more urgent. On Nov. 26, 1983, NSDD 114, which remains classified, was signed by Reagan, even as US intelligence had learned that Baghdad's forces were using chemical weapons to stop the Iranian offensive. Rumsfeld was soon on his way to Baghdad in a trip that, by 1985, would result in Washington supplying Saddam with some 1.5 billion dollars worth of weapons equipment and technology, including items applicable to Iraq's nuclear or biological-weapons program, such as anthrax strains and pesticides. At the same time, the CIA was tasked to ensure that its former charge not run short of either weapons or vitally needed intelligence on the disposition of Iranian forces, a task, according to a 1995 affidavit by Teicher, that then CIA director William Casey took to with abandon. Casey, for example, used a Chilean arms company, Cardoen, to supply Iraq with cluster bombs that he thought would be particularly effective against Iranian "human wave" tactics. In addition to the credit, equipment and covert military assistance, Saddam also got diplomatic help from Washington at the United Nations and elsewhere in fending off condemnations of his use of banned weapons during the war, as well as efforts in Congress to cut off US help. The CIA was still providing intelligence and other help when Saddam used poison gas that killed some 5,000 Kurdish noncombatants in Halabja in March 1988. The attack was part of the infamous Anfal campaign, which wiped out dozens of northern Kurdish villages and that is certain to figure prominently, along with a number of other particularly egregious atrocities known to Washington at the time they were committed, in any eventual trial against the former leader. All US support for Iraq ended two and a half years later when Saddam invaded Kuwait under circumstances that have suggested to some observers including, perhaps, Saddam himself that Washington might have encouraged him to do so. It is almost certain that at that moment he remembered Rumsfeld's trip, and it seems likely he may reflect on it again Saturday. Rumsfeld, however, might not have been so inclined.

I'm usually a size 27 in J Brand, True Religion, R&R and Rich and Skinny, so I got a 27 in these and they fit perfectly!
