Artificially Created Stem Cells Cure Sickle Cell in Mice

To cure sickle cell in mice just add skin -- no embryos necessary
has long covered developments in stem cell research -- everything from using the stem cells in practical medical research to creation
printable blood vessels
to using the cells in more outlandish experiments such as
the human-sheep "chimaera,"
which sounds like something straight out of
The Island of Dr. Moreau
Most importantly new research
allowed for the creation of pseudo-stem-cells from somatic (differentiated) cells
, via an induction process. The research was first pioneered by Japanese scientists and later confirmed by American researchers at
Whitehead Medical Center in Massachusetts. This new non-embryonic technique has the reluctant blessing of traditional stem cell opponents, including U.S. President George W. Bush and the Catholic Church.
The cells are dubbed induced Pluripotent Stem cells, iPS cells for short. Last month it was shown that the cells could be created as easily from human skin tissue as mouse skin tissue. Further, the research showed that the iPS cells behaved like true stem cells and could differentiate into the more than 200 types of cells in the human body.
Now scientists have
completed groundbreaking research
which gives an exciting glimpse into the tremendous potential the synthetic creation of stem cells can hold. Researchers at Whitehead have used the artificially created stem cells, created from mouse skin tissue, to cure mice of sickle cell anemia, a potentially fatal inherited disease. The research is published in the journal
and is titled
Treatment of Sickle Cell Anemia Mouse Model with iPS Cells Generated from Autologous Skin."
The research
sounds so good that many might wonder why the scientists at Whitehead are not rushing to put the process to work curing human disease. The reason for Whitehead's reluctance is that they are trying to change aspects of their creation approach in order to make it human safe. Researchers currently utilize genetically modified viruses in the induction process. The viruses have the potential to trigger tumor growth in healthy mammalian tissues.
"The big issue is how to replace these viruses", commented Rudolf Jaenisch co-leader of the research at Whitehead, in
an interview
with the
Washington Post
The current treatment method uses multiple rounds of viruses to modify genetic behavior of the cells. The first round of gene-modified viruses induces the cells to behave like stem cells. Next the scientists used a gene splicing technique to snip out the undesirable sickle-cell gene and replace it with a healthy gene. Finally the scientists used an additional round of viruses which induced the cell to develop into a bone marrow cell.
The marrow cells were injected into the mice with sickle-cell and anchored in the bone marrow and began to release healthy red blood cells.
"All the parameters we can measure are now normal," Jaenisch enthused. "The mice are cured."
Hopefully the researchers can modify the technique to avoid tumor induction as the potential of curing sickle-cell disease would help save many human lives. In humans sometimes sickle cell is treated by a bone marrow transplant, but only 20% of humans have a donor close enough to them to allow for a safe transplant. And over 20% of those who do receive transplants experience failure, often resulting in death. However, bone marrow created from a modified version of this process would be completely safe as the cells are genetically identical to the donor.
In the mice radiation was used to kill the bone marrow of the mice, but in humans chemotherapy drugs such as Idarubicin and Cytarabin can be used to kill the bone marrow in a less caustic manner. In mice 80 percent of the marrow cells now are the genetically healthy cells and they have experienced no tumor growth.
George Q. Daley, a stem cell researcher at Children's Hospital in Boston, said the test was proof that human clinical applications of iPS cells were feasible. He said, "There will be lots of unanticipated setbacks before we end up in the clinic, but this work suggests that we will ultimately get there."
Jaenisch surprised some by emphasizing that despite his group's success, research on embryonic stem cells should be pushed ahead, not halted.
"All the progress in this field was only possible because we had embryonic stem cells to work with first. We need to make more ES cells and really define which are going to be the best ones for different applications," he said.
Regardless, for stem cell proponents and opponents alike, this new research demonstrates a exciting process that may someday hold the cure for human diseases such as sickle-cell anemia, Parkinson's Disease and diabetes.

RE: Huzzah!
We kill life daily. All of us. We kill animals and eat their flesh, or murder plants to digest thier starches. Walking across the grass kills hundreds of invertibate life. We are all killers and we live from the death of other living things.
Sounds pretty harsh when put this way, but it is the truth.
So where do you draw the line? That's the question, and I'm not going to even atempt to adress that here.
My issue with "organized" religion is that they are constantly changing where the line is. It was OK for knights to kill during the crusades. It was OK to kill non-belivers. It was OK to burn witches. So "morality" has signifigantly changed over the millenia.
Your reasoning about toddlers is out of line. That toddler, or newborn for that matter, can be raised in any household, in another country for that matter. A 1st trimester ebryo can't.
And I also support that we should be able to euthenize terminally ill people.
While I personally don't like abortion, or would recommend it as an option to anyone, I think that it should be a leagal and safe option for one who choses it.
What astounds me is the number of people who are against something when its not them. How many people against abortion changed thier minds when its they who has to make the choice? How many against the death penalty until a loved one gets murdered? We love telling other people what to do, but no one wants to tell us what to do. Funny?
Coincidently, the majority of people who are anti-abortion also support the death penalty. So its OK to kill, but it's not OK.
The majority of people who are anti-death penalty are also pro-choice. Go figure?
Me. Leave me alone to make my own decisions. Don't tell me what I can't do. I think everyone else just has too much free time on their hands.

I was going to get awesomely cranky about how suddenly Barack Obama is nostalgic about campaigning against that nice John McCain, but then I realized: feeding a man's narcissism by writing, long involved posts about him helps neither you, nor the narcissist. So in the interests of Obama's own mental hygiene, let me be brief:
In 2008 the Obama campaign released an ad that mocked John McCain for his inability to send an email - which infuriated people, because the reason why he can't send an email is because his arms have never really worked properly after the North Vietnamese got done torturing him. When Obama's Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden dared mildly apologize for it, the Obama campaign humiliated Biden by having their lackey Bill Burton come out and retract Biden's apology.
This is what passed for 'civility' in the 2008 election cycle... but I can understand why Obama would get all misty-eyed about those days. It's natural for a coward to remember fondly the times when his fights were all with people who wouldn't - or couldn't - fight back...

A fun project that can include an adventure collecting shells at the beach. This guide is about sea shell wind chimes.
A set of seashell wind chimes is a great reminder of a summer vacation at the shore. Kids and adults love to collect shells, and here's something creative to do with them!
Windchimes made of sea things, beads, and recycled can lids seemed like a good fit for our deep sea-themed Bible School program. It will take two days. Kids will paint the shells, lids, and wooden beads, and add string, the first day; assemble the second day. Project would be good for a nature camp or pool party, too.
Approximate Time: Two 20-30 minute sessions.
*Can lids must be the kind left when you use the Pampered Chef-style can opener. The other kind are too sharp around the edges!

How does one drill holes in sea shells to string them to make a wind chime?
By Marger
With a dremel tool
I'm making my mother a sea shell wind chime for Mother's Day. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could put a small hole in the shells without breaking them?
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Brittany from Florida
You have too use a small drill bit & you have too turn it by hand or the shell will break. Have fun now they are fun too make.
I found it easy to use a dremel tool, to drill the holes in the shells. It works pretty good
Use a VERY small drill bit and drill a hole.
I just used a glover. This is a three sectioned pointed needle used with leather. My crab shell did not break due to the sharpness of the needle. For thicker shells, ie: mussels, etc. use a fine drill bit. These have worked for me. Good luck.
This is an sea shell wind chime I made when I got bored.
By Joyce wis
Here are instructions for making the wind chimes. If you have any questions, please post them.
I wanted something different so I got a star for the top instead of a circle -- I use 6 lb. fishing string, sea shells of any kind you want and a small drill bit.
Just be careful drilling the hole in the shell, because I did break 6 drill bits doing this. I bought the shells from a craft store so the shells were a little bit harder the regular shells are. I drilled a hole in just one end.
At each of the points of the star I tied the strings to go down. I didn't measure the string I just guessed at it, but it is about 2 ft. long. I put 6 sea shells down each string. Where I tyed the string together on the top, I put a fishing lure. I left it longer to come down for the center one where I have 8 shells coming down. I hot glued each one were i did tied the knots at so they wouldn't come out.
I hope this did helps you a lot. I also just got though making another one with the shells from when I go out too eat at a Chinese place here. Instead of leaving the clam shells there and let them throw them out I brought them home with me -- washed them up and let them dry.
Then the next day I drilled a hole in each end of it. There is 4 strands coming down with another in the middle.
|Sea Shell Wind Chime
|Joyce - OH MY GOSH! Those are beautiful. I too have a bunch of shells that I have picked up on trips and the like. That is absolutely beautiful. I don't have any kind of drill though so could you please make a suggestion? I'd appreciate it. I am just jumping up and down on the inside. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Dierberg Vineyard
Central Coast AVA
A Central Coast producer who continues to raise the standard.
This Special Feature comes from Dierberg Vineyard, one of the darlings of the Central Coast with an award-winning reputation that is just plain hard to beat. Founded in 1997 by Jim and Mary Dierberg, the winery focuses on crafting premium, limited production Burgundian-style wines from two very distinctive vineyard sites - one in the Santa Maria Valley and one in the Santa Rita Hills. These expressive, terrior-driven wines have garnered countless 90+ ratings and awards over the years, solidifying Dierberg Vineyard as a top Central Coast producer who continues to raise the standard for excellence. Jim and Mary Dierberg are no newcomers to wine, and in fact, have owned the Hermannhof Winery in Hermann, Missouri, since 1974. While the town's history and charm was appealing to the Dierbergs, the Midwestern climate couldn't support the traditional European varietals that Jim and Mary had grown to love.
In 1996, they moved to California's Central Coast, and achieved their dream with Dierberg Vineyard. Today, the entire Dierberg Vineyard operation is one big family affair, with the Dierbergs' grown children and their spouses intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of the vineyard and winery. It just the beginning of what promises to be a very endearing legacy.

Consumers will get tickets delivered to their mobile devices via text, bar codes and apps.
The next few years will be big ones for mobile ticketing, a new study from Juniper Research concludes. One in every eight mobile phone users worldwide, 12.7%, will either have a ticket delivered to their phone or buy a ticket with their phone by 2015, up from about 4.5% today, Juniper predicts.
In the next few years, mobile tickets will start to enter the mainstream, Juniper says. While mobile ticket users are now concentrated in Japan, Central and Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia, there will be more opportunities for selling mobile tickets for transportation, sports and events, the report says.
"The key years will be 2011 to 2013, when we expect to see significant growth year on year, fueled by the availability of commercial mobile ticketing services and the early stages of Near Field Communication commercialization in countries other than Japan," Juniper says. "Penetration is forecast to double in percentage terms in this period." Near Field Communication, or NFC, is a technology that enables phones (or other items, such as credit cards) to interact with objects—such as posters and payment terminals—over a distance of a few inches.
Juniper says consumers will also receive mobile tickets via text message and bar codes, and through the mobile web and apps.
The research firm says a growing number of players are entering the mobile ticketing market, from venture capital funded start-ups to wireless network carriers to others from telecommunications, point-of-sale or e-ticketing backgrounds.
"With the profusion of smartphone apps, developers are keen to add ticketing to their portfolios, while mobile network operators are keen to offer integrated ticketing, coupon and wider mobile commerce services as they look to increase their offerings to attract and retain subscribers," Juniper says. As a result, it adds, many wireless carriers are either building ticketing programs in-house or contracting them out to vendors.

Aucklanders suffering from anxiety, depression or substance abuse are being red-flagged in doctors' waiting rooms, but the technology could soon be used in schools.
University of Auckland researchers tapped into iPad technology to screen hundreds of patients for a range of health ailments while waiting to see a doctor last year.
Professor Felicity Goodyear-Smith, who developed the programme called eChat, said it took a structured approach to health screening of major issues.
The initiative works by patients or students taking a survey on an iPad before they see a doctor, she said.
Patients are asked first if they have a problem, such as how much alcohol they drink.
The questionnaire then asks more probing questions of whether alcohol abuse is affecting their life.
Doctors are warned if the person's answers show they're a high-risk for abuse, anger, anxiety, depression or addictions.
"It lets doctors know the severity of the problem, not just if there is a problem," she said.
Goodyear-Smith said the person can then be referred on to helplines, therapy - or in some cases doctors can begin a mental health intervention.
Secondary school students at Tamaki College will soon be using the technology.
Students aged 16 and over answer the questionnaire on their computers and are referred on to the school doctor if required.
The technology is expected to be more widely used by early next year.
Health Workforce NZ granted the research team money to expand it into 30 clinics, with the majority of GPs in Auckland.
Goodyear-Smith said the programme was aimed at stopping high-risk patients or students falling through the gaps.
"Even if the person says no to help, they may come back because it has seeded the idea."
People who are suffering depression or struggling with addictions are not always being picked up by the health care system, she said.
The eChat system was trialled in 50 doctor clinics last year.
Goodyear-Smith said if the trial goes well it could be rolled out into more schools and doctors clinics as a nationwide preventative health programme.

Hubert Gregg (14 July 1914 – 30 March 2004) was a BBC broadcaster, writer and stage actor. At the end of his life he was probably best known for the BBC Radio 2 "oldies" shows A Square Deal and Thanks for the Memory. In an earlier era he had also been a novelist, a theatre director and a hit songwriter.
Born in Islington, London, he worked for the BBC from the 1930s onwards, wrote the wartime hit "I'm Going To Get Lit Up When The Lights Go up in London" in 1943, and on seeing the German doodlebugs flying over London, composed the song "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", which became a hit and London folk anthem in 1947.
Gregg spoke German fluently, and during the war worked for the BBC German service, to such good effect that Goebbels assumed he must be a German traitor.
He was married three times: his first wife was musical comedy star Zoe Gail, with whom he had a daughter, actress-writer Stacey Gregg; his second wife was the actress and singer Pat Kirkwood; and finally in 1980 he married Carmel Lytton with whom he had two more children.

It's good to know that if you can't rely on the federal government, you can always rely on your state government.
I say this because I recently saw a news article that reported a certain state government had enacted a law that permitted its citizens to eat any roadkill they found, without fear of penalty.
Gee, thanks!
If Marie Antoinette said, "Let them eat cake," there's always a politician around to say, "Let them eat raccoon."
I hasten to point out that the state in question isn't my own, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Angry Jason Morrison won't do drive-time at 2UE
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 20, 2012
SENIOR brass at Fairfax Media's struggling Sydney talk radio station 2UE have found themselves in somewhat of a festive pickle with talk they're currently in an awkward stand-off with breakfast host Jason Morrison over a scheduling stoush.
It's understood Morrison, the network's conservative figurehead who was lured away from 2GB back in 2010, has been ordered to take up the drive slot recently departed by Paul Murray, who is headed to the morning shift in 2013.
But radio spies inform Confidential that Morrison, who hosted the rival drive slot at 2GB for almost 10 years, is reluctant to return to the afternoon post and is keen to remain as host of the breakfast slot which goes head-to-head with Alan Jones.
"Jason was offered a job at 2UE based on the notion he was to be breakfast host and give Jones a run for his money," our well-placed spy said. "Now they're bumping him to drive after two years.
"Obviously Jason is reluctant to move and management aren't budging either. So you could say things are tense, to say the least."
Contacted yesterday Morrison refused to comment on the matter, while network boss Chris Parker said only: "Jason is looking forward to returning to 2UE after a well-earned annual leave break and we'll be seeing him on Monday January 7.
"He is absolutely a part of our plans."
The latest beef follows the recent departure of long-serving program director Peter Brennan, who left his post in October after overseeing the station's reinvention as a more "left-leaning" broadcaster. Brennan's replacement will be the current 2UE news director Clinton Maynard

So over the last year I build a custom bolt action out of an old spyder compact. Long story short I Milled a slot to fit FS rounds into the breach. I already have a CP 16 in 2pc barrel, so I figured to save money I would just buy a CP barrel back with spyder thread and still use my 16in tip. I am planning on getting a .682 because I have no detents, and.682 is under bore enough to still be able to use regular paintballs.... but im afraid .682 may be to small for the FS rounds... what do you guys think?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Whats the smallest bore size......

I think you don't want to go any smaller than a .684 at the most with the FS rounds. The rifled barrel Tiberius worked on with Lapco is .683, and that's specifically smaller than the round to engage the rifling. Basically, you'll want something larger than the round to use them most effectively.

Flah writing script
British director Charles McDougall ("Sunday," "Hillsborough") is attached to direct "Cromanon."
The factual drama reconstructs Argentina's biggest non-natural tragedy: a fire at Buenos Aires' Republica Cromanon nightclub on Dec. 30, 2004, that killed 194 people.
"Cromanon" is written by Argentinean Alejo Flah, who penned TV series "Vientos de agua," by Oscar-nommed director Juan Jose Campanella ("The Son of the Bride"). Script is nearing completion.
"Cromanon" is the first feature production of Buenos Aires-based WoW, run by BBC documaker Ariel Piluso and partner Angie Mulhall, a former Channel 4 exec.
By Argentinean standards, pic's budget, a below-the-line $3 million, is high.
Film has pulled down around 10% co-production financing from Sweden's Film i Vast fund, which put up coin for many Lars von Trier films.
It can expect Incaa Argentine Film Institute aid. Pic is skedded to shoot in February, Piluso said.
Researched for two years, "Cromanon" follows a teen couple, two male buddies, a mother and a security guard before, during and after the fire.
McDougall's "Sunday" was Emmy nommed; "Hillsborough" won three British Academy Awards, including pic; McDougall won an Emmy for the "Desperate Housewives" pilot.
Both were shot with British cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, d.p. on Ken Loach's films and "United 93."
"Actors are given freedom to move around the set without marks. All lighting is from outside the set's windows. This is the style we are employing on 'Cromanon,' " said McDougall.
"Cromanon" involves wider reflections.
"The film's title is highly fitting: it's Cro-Magnon that there were 3,000 people in a club with capacity for 1,000," said Flah. "It's also Cro-Magnon that the police were on the take, that the emergency exit door was padlocked, that people were throwing fireworks in an enclosed space."

Jamie graduated from Birmingham City University in 2004 with a BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS - and less than a decade later he was appointed head of Welford Primary School in Birmingham in January 2013. He was 30 when he took up the post.
Attracting the attention of school leaders, by the end of his fourth year of teaching, he took up a post as a deputy head teacher and worked at this level until taking up his first headship at Welford Primary School. The school has 480 children, aged between 3 and 11 years.
You will leave us as a committed and confident teacher, who is eager to take a creative approach to creating a vibrant learning environment which will encourage our pupils to succeed.
You will be equipped with a wide range of knowledge and skills, which will make you highly employable and able to stand out from the crowd.
94 per cent of graduates of this course went on to work or further study within six months. Careers include teaching jobs in various levels of education. Those who went straight into teaching started off by earning an average full-time salary of £22,000.
Graduate Katy Helen said: "Since graduating, I've been teaching in the International School of Siem Reap in Cambodia, which follows the British curriculum. I am the Reception 2 Teacher and I'm also the Early Years Co-ordinator, which is a massive task for a newly-qualified teacher but I love it.
"It's been lots of hard work, but it's amazing the difference that has been made to the early years in that short time.
"When I first got to the school, the nursery and Reception 1 classrooms were very formal learning environments. After a lot of training with the two early years teachers and the directors of education at the school, I managed to convince them of the importance of learning through play and now I have completely changed the learning environments.
"I spent a week changing the classrooms and getting resources together. Now each classroom has a play-based area, role play area and home corner. When I saw the children's faces when they saw it for the first time, it was priceless which, for me, is the best part of the job."
Education courses are one of the top 12 degree subjects for getting a job according to a recent article in the Telegraph, with 92.6 per cent of graduates nationwide going into work or further study within six months of finishing their degree.
School experience is integrated closely with the work undertaken in the School of Education. The experiences are planned in a developmental and supportive manner with students progressively taking more responsibility for the classroom over the three years.
Each year has a range of school experience and a block practice.
Our students are well prepared before going into placement leaving them confident in the classroom when on placement.
OpportUNIty: Student Jobs on Campus ensures that our students are given a first opportunity to fill many part-time temporary positions within the University. This allows you to work while you study with us, fitting the job around your course commitments. By taking part in the scheme, you will gain valuable experiences and employability skills, enhancing your prospects in the job market.
It will also allow you to become more involved in University life by delivering, leading and supporting many aspects of the learning experience, from administration to research and mentoring roles.
Through our courses we give you the skills and experience needed to get a head start when applying for jobs. But we offer something extra too – Graduate+.
Our unique programme gives you the chance to develop valuable skills outside of the more formal classroom learning. We award points for Graduate+ activities (including firewalking!) and these can be put towards a final Graduate+ award.
Employment prospects are outstanding compared to national averages - we expect all students to obtain teaching posts on graduation. League tables show that our primary graduates are consistently successful in gaining responsible teaching posts.
All students on our Primary Education course take part in extensive placements to enhance their learning. Current students Abigail, Esma and Zoe provide an insight and share their experiences of life as trainee primary school teachers in a blog.
"I was excited about being in a small class as I thought this would make getting to know the children a lot easier. By the second day I knew all the children's names - they were so impressed!" Abigail said.

Normally I enjoy classic horror movies because of their inventiveness and their predisposition to be quite terrifying at times. The Amityville Horror strives to be original and scary, but at every opportunity it fails quite astonishingly. The film contains none of the elements that make a good horror movie.

In Situ Solidification
Geo-Solutions recently wrapped up an in situ solidification (ISS) project in Massachusetts. The ISS at this site was used to reduce the impact of contamination from a former chemical manufacturing facility. Solidification was performed on a volume of 19,000 CYs down to 10' to 15' below the working surface. The solidification reagent mix on this site consisted of Portland cement and water. Check out a photograph of in situ solidification on a project in Massachusetts at: plus.google.com/GeoSolutions

The United States has begun withdrawing troops from Iraq ahead of a major August pullout. A contingent left July 13, cutting short their normal 12-month tour of duty.
The August withdrawal is billed as ending the U.S. combat mission in Iraq, fulfilling a vow President Obama made shortly after taking office last year. Yet some 50,000 "noncombat" troops will remain, along with thousands of private contractors and other U.S. personnel. It remains to be seen what the impact will be on Iraq, and whether all U.S. troops will really leave by 2011 as specified in the agreement signed by President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in the Bush administration's final days.
The number of U.S. troops in Iraq is already down to around 75,000 from a peak of about 170,000 during the 2007 "surge."
Under the status of forces agreement signed in December 2008, the U.S. agreed to pull out of Iraqi towns and cities by June 30, 2009, and remove all troops by Dec. 31, 2011.
U.S. troops did withdraw from Iraqi cities last June, moving to massive bases nearby. However they continued to conduct joint operations with the Iraqi army, officially at the Iraqis' request.
Violence continues, with suicide bombings in Baghdad on Sunday killing at least 43 Sunni "Awakening Council" members waiting to collect their government paychecks. Yet attacks are down overall, according to a variety of sources.
U.S. officials are taking pains to insist that next month's withdrawal will proceed as planned. The U.S. pullout "will not in any way affect the physical stability of Iraq," Vice President Joe Biden told ABC News shortly after the Sunday bombings.
Earlier this month, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. Ray Odierno, suggested that UN peacekeeping forces could be brought in to northern Iraq when U.S. forces leave, to help the Iraqi government curb violence in Mosul and other areas disputed between Kurds and Arabs.
Odierno said a UN force would benefit both the Iraqis and the U.S., enabling President Obama to stick to his withdrawal timetable.
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Tovo, who heads U.S. operations in Anbar province, told the Christian Science Monitor he and his Iraqi counterparts believe that "political opportunism" is behind most of the current violence "in this uncertain period when we are working on national government formation." Tovo reflected a wide Iraqi view that when the new Iraqi government is formed, "a lot of this will settle down."
The attacks, which are being credited to "al-Qaeda in Iraq," come in the context of a four-month political leadership stalemate following Iraq's March 7 national elections. The elections did not produce a clear winner, with Maliki's State of Law slate coming in 2 votes behind a slate headed by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. Neither garnered enough votes to form a government on their own. Both presented themselves as non-sectarian, but Maliki's party is Shiite Islamist while Allawi's slate is linked to former Baathists. The outcome was skewed by a controversial election law which essentially disenfranchised smaller parties, including Iraq's well-respected Communist Party and other democratic and ethnic minority parties, and handed their votes to the dominant slates.
Since March, the big political blocs have been engaged in non-stop deal-making, each trying to line up support to head the new government. Neighboring countries, especially Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia, are involved, each seeking a post-occupation Iraqi government that is friendly to the economic and political interests of their respective ruling circles.
And the U.S. is looking for a friendly and stable Iraqi government that will quell the remaining violence, enable the U.S. to free its strained military for Afghanistan and other ventures, and put out a welcome mat for U.S. corporations.
Of course, certain right-wing U.S. circles want to keep a military presence there. And Iraqi commentators say some Iraqis, including some former Baathists but others as well, want the U.S. to stay, feeling the Americans will help them gain leverage over their opponents.
Before the March elections, some saw the U.S. as favoring the Allawi slate. Certainly, Allawi's campaign benefited from vast sums of money from Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally.
Biden went to Iraq July 3, his fifth trip there since taking office as vice president 18 months ago, to press for a speedy resolution to the governmental crisis. Reportedly he pushed for an alliance between the Allawi and Maliki slates. But according to the Iraqi political analysis site Niqash, "Biden's visit raised fears among the other major political parties that they will be excluded from the government." Since then, the wheeling and dealing has continued.
Iraqis say the much talked-of Sunni-Shiite divide was largely manufactured and then exacerbated by the U.S. occupation. Saddam Hussein's Sunni-based regime also included Shiites. Allawi, a former Baathist now heading a Sunni-based slate, is a Shiite. Maliki's Shiite slate also includes Sunnis. Communists and other progressive parties include Sunnis as well as Shiites.
But Shiites, persecuted under Saddam Hussein, and generally associated with Iraq's working class and poor, make up 60 percent of the population. Together with the Kurds, who are 20 percent, and some smaller ethnic minorities, they have no intention of allowing Allawi and his Sunni-Baathist-linked slate to take the prime ministership.
