This study evaluates the impact of a longitudinal remote consultation (LRC) implementation strategy for collaborative care depression treatment among perinatal women receiving care from federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). All participating FQHCs will receive training in collaborative care. Cluster randomization will be used to assign the addition of LRC to select FQHCs. Differences in implementation success, clinical outcomes, and costs will be compared after a 12 month implementation period and 13-21 month sustainment period.
Depression is a common and serious disorder among pregnant women but few from low income groups receive effective treatment. The highly evidence based collaborative care (CC) model for depression has been shown to work for women in pregnancy but has not been widely implemented in this population. The proposed study targets improving dissemination of the evidence based CC treatment model for pregnant and postpartum women with depression, a common disorder of the perinatal period (pregnancy and the first year following birth). Longitudinal remote consultation (LRC) is an implementation strategy that has been have shown to improve fidelity to evidence-based practices and patient outcomes for mental health innovations. We believe LRC can be used with equal benefit for complex interventions such as CC.
The purpose of this study is to compare two implementation strategies for Collaborative Care depression treatment: 1) standard implementation and 2) standard implementation + Longitudinal Remote Consultation (LRC). This research is being done in order to assess implementation and patient outcomes in sites receiving a standard implementation approach with and without LRC. The results of the proposed study will provide information on the benefits and relative value of ongoing consultation, such as LRC, for implementation of complex interventions like collaborative care.
The proposed study will involve twenty federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) providing prenatal care and which are part of the national OCHIN Network. All sites will receive a standard implementation approach. After pre-implementation training ten of the sites will be randomly selected to receive LRC. Implementation and clinical outcomes as well as costs will be compared between the study conditions after a 12 month implementation period and a 13-21 month sustainment period. The results of the proposed study will provide critical generalizable knowledge regarding the benefits of ongoing consultation for implementation of complex interventions like collaborative care.

The Cambridge Companion to Ravel (Cambridge Companions to Music)
This Companion provides a comprehensive introduction to the life, music and compositional aesthetic of French composer Maurice Ravel (1875SH1937). Leading international scholars offer a powerful reassessment of this most private and elusive musician, examining his work in detail within its cultural context. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ravel's birth, the volume explores the full range of his work--piano repertory, chamber works, orchestral music, ballets, songs and operas--and concludes by analyzing the performance and reception of his music, including previously untranslated reviews.

5.0 stars 3 totalReview Jonathan Cantor
Posted by anonymous
After a long recovery from a serious car accident , I was referred to Jon Cantor to help me with all the legal matters . His professionalism and persistence has shown through in every way . Jon is a lawyer that truly cares for his clients and I highly recommend his services !
Posted by anonymous
I recently found myself in need of a good lawyer for an injury I had received while working. Thankfully I chose Jon Cantor who was knowledgeable, straight forward, and honest. When you sustain such an injury, life can become overwhelming. To then deal with such confusing legal matters can be daunting. Mr. Cantor takes the burden off your shoulders and the reassurance of allowing someone you can trust to navigate the rough waters of the legal world is a heavy burden lifted so that while I still struggle, at least some of my life can return to normal. I would highly recommend his services.
Posted by anonymous
I hired this lawyer to represent me after I was injured in a motor vehicle accident. I was very pleased with the personal attention he provided me and the tenancity in his advocacy. I believe he got me the best result possible. I have already referred business to him and will continue to do so.

We can remember the past and imagine the future but we can only see and live in the present moment. Time passes, frame by frame, some of them presenting situations from which we would like to escape.
Cinderella's story is familiar to us all and there are those times when we wished we had a Fairy Godmother. Failing that, the appeal of positive prognostications provide a reason to seek the services of a fortune teller and their crystal ball.
Ancient Chinese methods of divination such as yarrow sticks, tea leaves and the I Ching relied upon the conviction that there is no such thing as an accident, that everything is part of a matrix which interacts within itself in such a way that each part reflects the state of the other.
Interestingly, there are 64 hexagrams in the I Ching, 64 squares on a chessboard and 64 is 2 multiplied by itself 6 times. So it's binary.
The only two absolutes are relativity and change. The I Ching distills change into those 64 hexagrams or states of change. The method that is employed to ascertain which of those states applies to the present moment also relies on focus or intent from the participant to align the energy of their query with the casting of the coins or sticks.
The binary quality of yes or no would suggest that on a guess, one has a 50% chance of being right, a fact employed by many a shonkster with mailing list scams. For example, mailing share price predictions where a selection of stocks was forecast to rise to half of the list and mailing the same stocks predicted to fall to the other half of the list would still yield profitable results. A mailing list of 100,000 names can be purchased fairly cheaply and if you lost half of the subscribers each time you would still have 3,125 subscribers after 5 issues who would have had consecutive wins.
Now statistics don't lie but liars use statistics as we all know from our politicians, perfect examples of our facility to be misled. In Biblical days people were led by prophets, today by profits. No accident.
Blind Freddy can see that yesterday's gone and tomorrow hasn't yet happened, the best we can do now is to use our past experience and hopes for the future to make the present moment even better.
The Fairy Godmother would tap her wand on that.

UPDATE: V2.2 released!- adds single .mobileconfig files so users can choose only what toggles they want! Please refresh IconSettings page to see the changes.
V2.1 released!- added .mobileconfig files which can now install all icons for you automatically and do not leave blank Safari tabs open!
v2.0 – No internet connection required once the webclip has been added!
NB: For the latest IconSettings release, please go to the IconSettings home page
As featured on Engadget, Gizmodo, Modmyi and more, iPhoneZA presents:
iPhoneZA is proud to announce their very own, first of it's kind IconSettings
IconSettings allows you to create SBSettings-like toggles on your non-jailbroken iDevice (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) for FREE, as opposed to apps such as "Icon Project" which you have to buy for $0.99. This allows you to quickly Toggle system services such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi, brightness etc. in order to save battery, or for whatever other reason!
The full list of toggles are visible from our screenshots below.
To get started, simply visit the IconSettings web page from your iDevice and follow the instructions!
OR simply scan this awesome QR code using a free QR Code reader on your iDevice. Apparently BeeTag works fine for this since it has to open the link in Safari itself, rather than in the in-built web browser of the QR scanner app (thanks for the suggestion Marc )
NOTE: Apparently this only works on iOS5.0 and above.
Instructions (Automatic): – NEW in v.2.1!
– These will install icons automatically in one click and do not leave blank Safari pages open when the toggles are used like the manual method. This may take a while to install so be patient.
– Simply click on a .mobilconfig file below that you wish to install (on the IconSettings page)
– When it prompts for a password, enter your normal lock-password
Instructions (Manual):
1) Choose the Settings you would like to add to your homescreen below
2) Click on the link and it will open up in a new page
3) Click the "Cancel" dialog, and then click "Add To Home Screen" as you would normally add a bookmark. – NB: Wait for the icon image to load
4) Change tab back to the main tab and repeat from step 1!
It's as simple as that!
IconSettings is proudly brought to you by us here at iPhoneZA!

From the open spaces of Northumbria to the windswept North Sea coast, this region is rich in historical treasures to discover.
And the welcome is never warmer than by the fires of one of our traditional pubs where they know how to keep a good cellar and a well run kitchen.
Find out more and download a colour or back and white copy of our complete collection guide for North East.
Each pub belongs to its community, with The Tawny Owl near Hurworth being among the oldest buildings in the area. The Snowy Owl near Cramlington is so old its origins are lost in the mists of time. The Old Farmhouse at Middleton St George dates back around 250 years and was originally a pub called The Wheatsheaf, which became a farmhouse and then a pub again!
Plus, bustling cities such as Newcastle are vibrant and attractive urban centres, yet with their architectural and industrial heritage remaining intact.
It maybe remote but the North East has a lot to offer travellers, particularly those seeking rest and refreshment at a fine old Vintage Inn. Take the time to visit along the way!

In 2370, Constable Odo (who had, years ago, been certified as an officer of the Cardassian court system) acted as nestor to Chief Miles O'Brien during O'Brien's trial on Cardassia Prime for collaborating with the Maquis. Odo attempted to address the court several times, despite the prohibition against doing so, much to the anger of Archon Makbar. (DS9: "Tribunal")

Talk:False etymology/merger proposal text
A 'false" or "folk" etymology is an assumed or postulated etymology that current consensus among scholars of historical linguistics holds to be incorrect. Many false etymologies may be described as "folk etymologies," the distinction being simply that folk etymologies are widely believed to be true, and of anonymous origin. "Folk etymology" or "popular etymology" is an established term for a false etymology which grows up anonymously in popular lore. A modern folk etymology may be thought of as a linguistic urban legend, but folk etymologies can be very old and even establish themselves as accepted fact among scholars.
The term may be used in two distinct ways:
- A commonly held misunderstanding of the origin of a particular word, a false etymology.
- "The popular perversion of the form of words in order to render it apparently significant"[1]; "the process by which a word or phrase, usually one of seemingly opaque formation, is arbitrarily reshaped so as to yield a form which is considered to be more transparent."[2]
Erroneous etymologies can exist for many reasons. Some are simply outdated. For a given word there may often have been many serious attempts by scholars to propose etymologies based on the best information available at the time, and these can be later modified or rejected as linguistic scholarship advances. The results of medieval etymology, for example, were plausible given the insights available at the time, but have mostly been rejected by modern linguists. The etymologies of humanist scholars in the early modern period began to produce more reliable results, but many of their hypotheses have been superseded. Even today, knowledge in the field advances so rapidly that many of the etymologies in contemporary dictionaries are outdated.
False etymologies are a consequence of the longstanding interest in putatively original, and therefore normative, meanings of words, a characteristic of logocentrism. Until academic linguistics developed the comparative study of philology and the development of the laws underlying sound changes, the derivation of words was a matter mostly of guess-work, sometimes right but more often wrong, based on superficial resemblances of form and the like. This popular etymology has had a powerful influence on the forms which words take (e.g. crawfish or crayfish, from the French crevis, modern crevisse, and has frequently been the occasion of homonyms resulting from different etymologies for what appears a single word, with the original meaning(s) reflecting the true etymology and the new meaning(s) reflecting the 'incorrect' popular etymology.
The term "folk etymology", as referring both to erroneous beliefs about derivation and the consequent changes to words, is derived from the German Volksetymologie. Similar terms are found in other languages, e.g. Volksetymologie itself in Dutch, Afrikaans Volksetimologie, Danish Folkeetymologi, Swedish Folketymologi, and full parallels in non-Germanic languages, e.g. French étymologie populaire, Hungarian népetimológia; an example of an alternative name is Italian pseudoetimologia.
Folk etymology becomes especially interesting when it feeds back into the development of the word and thus becomes a part of the true etymology. Because a population wrongly believes a word to have a certain origin, they begin to pronounce or use the word in a manner appropriate to that perceived origin, in a kind of misplaced pedantry. Thus a new standard form of the word appears which has been influenced by the misconception. In such cases it is often said that the form of the word has been "altered by folk etymology". (Less commonly, but found in the etymological sections of the OED, one might read that the word was altered by pseudo-etymology, or false etymology.) Pyles and Algeo give the example of "chester drawers" for "chest of drawers;" similarly, "chase lounge" for "chaise longue."
Some etymologies are part of urban legends, and seem to respond to a general taste for the surprising, counterintuitive and even scandalous. One common example has to do with the phrase rule of thumb, meaning a rough measurement. An urban legend has it that the phrase refers to an old English law under which a man could legally beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb (though no such law ever existed).[3] The same idiom exists in other cultures – in Finland as "nyrkkisääntö" and in German-speaking countries as "Faustregal"; both mean "rule of fist."
In the United States, many of these scandalous legends have had to do with racism and slavery. Common words such as picnic,[4] buck,[5] and crowbar[6] have been alleged to stem from derogatory terms or racist practices. The "discovery" of these alleged etymologies is often believed by those who circulate them to draw attention to racist attitudes embedded in ordinary discourse. On one occasion the use of the word niggardly led to the resignation of a U.S. public official because it sounded similar to the word nigger, despite the two words being unrelated etymologically.[7]
Another false etymology claims that the term cracker dates back to slavery in the antebellum South. This is based on tales of overseers using bullwhips to discipline African slaves, with the sound of the whip described as "cracking". However, there is no evidence of this usage prior to the 20th-century, suggesting this is a neologism created through cultural assumptions. The term actually has much older origins in the British Isles, based on a term for braggarts.[8][9]

Examples of words modified by folk etymology[edit]
- Old English bryd-guma ("bride-man") became bridegroom after the Old English word guma fell out of use and made the compound semantically obscure.
- The silent s in island is a result of folk etymology. This native Anglo-Saxon word, at one time spelled iland, derives from an Old English compound of īeg or īg + land, but was erroneously believed to be related to "isle", which had come to English via Old French from Latin insula ("island"; cf. Modern Spanish isla). Old English īeg, īg derives from Germanic *aujō = "object on the water", from earlier Germanic *agwjō, and is akin to Old English ēa = "water", "river", from prehistoric Germanic *ahwō. Hence through *ahwō, island is related, not to Latin insula, but rather to Latin aqua ("water"). (For a use of ēa, see Eton, Berkshire, Origin of the Name.).
More recent examples:
- asparagus, which in England became sparrow-grass.
- cater-corner became kitty-corner or catty-corner when the original meaning of cater ("four") had become obsolete.
Other changes due to folk etymology include:
- buttonhole from buttonhold (originally a loop of string that held a button down)
- Charterhouse from Chartreuse, the feminine of Chartreux
- hangnail from agnail
- penthouse from pentice
- shamefaced from shamefast ("caught in shame")
- chaise lounge from chaise longue ("long chair")
- lanthorn from lantern (as old lanterns were glazed with strips of cows' horn)
- A slug of liquor from the Irish word slog, meaning to swallow
When a back-formation rests on a misunderstanding of the morphology of the original word, it may be regarded as a kind of folk etymology.
In heraldry, a rebus coat-of-arms (which expresses a name by one or more elements only significant by virtue of the supposed etymology) may reinforce a folk etymology for a noun proper, usually of a place.
The same process sometimes influences the spelling of proper names. The name Antony/Anthony is often spelled with an "h" because of the Elizabethan belief that it is derived from Greek ανθος (flower). In fact it is a Roman family name, probably meaning something like "ancient".

Other languages[edit]
The French verb savoir (to know) was formerly spelled sçavoir, in order to link it with the Latin scire (to know). In fact it is derived from sapere (to be wise).
The spelling of the English word posthumous reflects a belief that it is derived from Latin post humum, literally "after the earth", in other words after burial. In fact the Latin postumus is an old superlative of post (after), formed in the same way as optimus and ultimus.
The spelling of the English word lethal reflects a belief that it is derived from Lethe, the river in the mythological kingdom of the dead. In fact it comes from the unconnected Latin word letum, meaning death.
In British English, aubergines are sometimes called "mad apples". The Italian word for the aubergine is melanzana, which was misheard as mela insana.
Medieval Latin has a word, bachelarius (bachelor), of uncertain origin, referring to a junior knight, and by extension to the holder of a University degree inferior to Master or Doctor. This was later re-spelled baccalaureus to reflect a false derivation from bacca laurea (laurel berry), alluding to the possible laurel crown of a poet or conqueror.
Olisipona (Lisbon) was explained as deriving from the city's supposed foundation by Ulysses (Odysseus), though the settlement certainly antedates any Greek presence.
In Southern Italy in the Greek period there was a city Maloeis (gen. Maloentos), meaning "fruitful". This was rendered in Latin as Maleventum, "ill come" or "ill wind", and renamed Beneventum ("well come" or "good wind") after the Roman conquest.
In the Alexandrian period, and in the Renaissance, many (wrongly) explained the name of the god Kronos as being derived from chronos (time), and interpreted the myth of his swallowing his children as an allegory meaning that Time consumes all things.
The American Grizzly bear is so named because its hair is grizzled or silver-tipped, but its name was later mistakenly derived from grisly meaning "horrible". This error has been perpetuated in the grizzly bear's scientific trinomial name: Ursus arctos horribilis.
Acceptability of resulting forms[edit]
The question of whether the resulting usage is "correct" or "incorrect" depends on one's notion of correctness; at any rate it is a separate issue from the question of whether the assumed etymology is correct. When a confused understanding of etymology produces a new form today, there is typically resistance to it on the part of those who see through the confusion, but there is no question of long-established words being considered wrong because folk etymology has affected them. Chaise lounge and Welsh rarebit are disparaged by many, but shamefaced and buttonhole are universally accepted. See prescription and description.
Influence on spelling[edit]
Over the course of time, many words have been altered in order to better reflect false Latin or Greek etymologies. Island (previously iland) and ptarmigan (previously tarmigan) are two such words. See English spelling reform—successes in spelling complication.
Special Cases[edit]
Deliberately False Etymologies[edit]
Incorrect etymologies have sometimes been created for purposes of propaganda. The opponents of the medieval Dominicans joked that Dominicani was derived from domini canes ("God's dogs").
People sometimes create etymologies to make a political point. The feminist term herstory implies, presumably with tongue-in-cheek, an etymology of "history" as "his story," with the effect, and probably the intention, of pointing up the male domination of the writing of history. Similarly, the term womanipulate[1] for manipulate as man-ipulate (actually Latin manipulare, "to handle", from manus, "hand") was created in the same way.
A backronym (portmanteau term for "back-formation and acronym is a special case of false etymology in which an existing word or acronym is provided with a spurious origin. Many of these can be invalidated as anachronistic – the putative terms providing the initialism may not have been in existence at the time of the word's first appearance, or the backronym may assume a historically unwarranted regularity of spelling. For example:
- F.U.C.K. (for fuck). There is an urban legend which states that the term "fuck" originated as an acronym, standing for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". According to this etymology, adulterers in medieval England would be charged with the crime of unlawful carnal knowledge. After a while the charge was shortened on the charge sheet to "F.U.C.K.", and so the term came to mean the act of adultery. There are a number of variations on this theme—the same acronym, it is claimed, was posted on stocks where adulterers were publicly humiliated. Another variation suggests that F.U.C.K stands for "Fornication Under Consent of the King", a phrase supposedly posted on the doors of those persons permitted to reproduce at a time of medieval population control or to indicate that a brothel had paid its tax and was licensed to operate. These etymologies can be shown to be false for a number of reasons, not least historical inaccuracy: the "population control" theory neglects the fact that at the time in question, fornication referred only to the sin of sex outside marriage, and would not have been used to refer to acts between married partners. Moreover, the practice of adopting acronyms and the like into everyday language (such as yuppie, nimbyism, scuba, radar and sonar) was not common practice until the 20th century. "Fuck" in fact entered Middle English from another Germanic source, most likely Scandinavian.
- "G.O.L.F (For golf) This false etymology states that Golf originated as an acronym for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden."[10]
- "Pom" or "Pommy", an Australian English, New Zealand English and South African English term for a person of British descent or origin. The exact origins of the term remain obscure (see here for further information.).
- T.I.P. for "tip" (in the sense of a gratuity for a waiter), alleged to stand for "to insure promptness". In fact, it is originally from thieves' cant.
Some words which are commonly thought to be eponyms, but are not:
- The word crap, after Earl (or Thomas) Crapper. The flush toilet was indeed popularised to a large extent and improved — though not invented — by an Englishman named Thomas Crapper, but the coincidence of his surname is only that — a coincidence. The slang term crap meaning faeces or defecate was in common use long before his time and can be traced back to Old English crappe meaning residue from rendered fat, and can even be traced as far back as Middle Latin to crappa. American-English has preserved the original meaning of residue. British-English speakers should be aware that, to American ears, the use of 'crap' as an exclamation of frustration is mild and inoffensive (on the same level as 'sugar' or 'cripes'). Similarly, when in the UK, American-English speakers should avoid using 'crap' as an exclamation in polite company.
- The word nasty, after Thomas Nast and his biting, vitriolic cartoons. The word predates Nast by several centuries and may be related to the Dutch word nestig, or "dirty".[11]
- "Fuck you/V sign" This folk etymology centers on archers who had their middle fingers removed in medieval times to keep them from properly aiming their arrows. English longbow archers caught by the enemy at Agincourt supposedly would have had their bow fingers amputated, since at that time the longbow was a devastating weapon and gave a great tactical advantage to the English. The unaffected archers could taunt the enemy by raising their index and middle fingers to show they were still intact and that the archers could still effectively "pluck yew". However, this story is untrue. (See the origins of the V sign for further discussion.)
- Lanzarote. A popular story claims that the conqueror Jean de Bethencourt was so impressed with the peaceful nature of the island's inhabitants that he broke his lance in half. The name supposedly derives from lanza rota (broken lance). This story is unlikely, the island is probably named after the 13th century trader Lancelotto Malocello.
- "Hiccough", a spelling still occasionally encountered for hiccup, originates in an assumption that the second syllable was originally cough. The word is in fact onomatopoeic in origin.
- "Welsh Rarebit" has been claimed to be the original spelling of the savoury dish 'Welsh rabbit'. Both forms now have currency, though the form with rabbit is in fact the original. Furthermore, the word 'Welsh' in this context was used by the English as a slur, meaning foreign, as with French letter, and does not indicate that the dish originated in Wales.[12]
- "scissors": the spelling reflects a belief that the word comes from Latin scindere (to tear); in fact the word is derived from Old French cisors (current French ciseaux), which comes from Latin caedere (to cut)
- "sincere" is often believed to come from sine cera, without wax. In fact it is almost certainly from the Latin roots sim-/sin- (as in "simplicity", "single") and cre- (as in cresco, grow), with the implication "of a single growth"
- "innocent": often wrongly believed to have the original meaning of "not knowing", as if it came from Latin noscere (to know); in fact it comes from nocere (to harm), so the primary sense is "harmless"
- "marmalade": there is an apocryphal story that Mary Queen of Scots ate it when she had a headache, and that the name is derived from her maids' whisper of "Marie est malade" (Mary is ill). In fact it is derived from Portuguese marmelo, a quince, and then expanded from quince jam to orange mermalada (Spanish), all kinds of jam (in German) and to citrus or ginger jam (in English).
- "sirloin": an equally apocryphal story features an English king (usually identified as Charles II) conferring knighthood on a beef roast, saying "Rise, Sir Loin!" Alas, the name merely means the top of the loin (from French sur, on or above).
- "average": a term used for damage sustained at sea (the arithmetical meaning came later). Popularly believed to be derived from a tax on goods (Law French "avers", goods, plus the -age ending). In fact it is derived, via French avarie, from Arabic awar, meaning marine damage.
- "adamant": often believed to come from Latin adamare, meaning to love to excess. In fact derived from Greek αδαμας, meaning indomitable. There was a further confusion about whether the substance referred to is diamond or lodestone.
- "pumpernickel" is said to have been given the name by a French man (sometimes Napoleon) referring to his horse, Nicole — "Il était bon pour Nicole" ("It's good enough for Nicole"), or "C'est une pomme pour Nicole" ("it's an apple for Nicole"), or "pain pour Nicole" (bread for Nicole). Some dictionaries claim a derivation from the German vernacular Pumpen (fart) and "Nick" (demon or devil) though others disagree.[13]
- "Sword" did not come from "God's word" ('sword) as a minced oath (in the same way that 'sblood is "God's blood" or strewth (originally 'struth, from "Gawd strewth") is "God's truth"). This confusion could come from the fact that God's word in the bible is said to be "sharper than any two-edged sword", and would hence relate to the Christian origins of many English words.

According to sources, Donald Trump's new trade team is no fan of how China and Mexico deal in trade with America.
Commerce Secretary nominee Wilbur Ross stated back in 2015:
"China…could be heading for some difficulties if the Trans-Pacific Partnership gets approved."
He also co-authored a paper where he called China "the biggest trade cheater in the world."
Now, Donald Trump is considering a 10% tariff on all imports or changes to tax policy that could possibly level the playing field.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, commented on Trump's plans by saying: "They want to get rid of existing trade agreements [and] put up tariffs…Those are all protectionist moves."
Derek Scissors, a China expert at the American Enterprise Institute, said, "If they come in with a 5% [tariff], that's very different than 35%."
At this point we have two options: Put up tariffs on other countries, or use taxes to make trade fair.
Needless to say, many question remain. How will this effect the global economy? Will Trump ruin our trade relations will this country? And if so, how will that effect monetary policy?

Tyrannosaurus is a genus of large, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs that lived in the same time period as Triceratops. Extinct naturally some 65 million years prior to human evolution, temporal anomalies in the 21st century brought about their eventual re-introduction into the wild.
Ibis Island Incident Edit
The first recorded event of human-Tyrannosaurus interaction was the 2009 Third Energy Criticality Incident, when a timespace "exchange" caused by a Third Energy experiment sent a number of prehistoric creatures to 21st century Ibis Island. At least one T. rex was among them. This Tyrannosaurus killed and ate a number of humans during the night, including Cooper, a S.O.R.T. agent sent to investigate the experiment. It was revealed to have evolved to have an "obsessive" nature, persistently hunting for Regina, another agent, regardless of the many dinosaurs it could have consumed. It's relentless search for Regina at one point went as far as destroying the team's extraction helicopter by attacking it, mid-air; this forced the team underground.
The Tyrannosaurus made it's way down a large cargo elevator, following a group of survivors attempting to collect equipment necessary for their escape plan. Reaching the bottom level, it stumbled upon Regina again, but was knocked unconscious when it damaged an electrical generator.
This Tyrannosaur was killed by the agents the following morning as they escaped the island.
Noah's Ark Edit
In the 2050s, the Noah's Ark Plan was prepared. In order to prevent an increase in temporal anomalies from altering -or preventing- human evolution, the animals were forcibly displaced, and sent three million years into the future through an improved understanding of temporal mechanics; they were to be returned to their respective time periods once the temporal crisis would come to an end. A number of Tyrannosaurs were taken as well.
When the MTHR computer confining them in comatose conditions became corrupted, it began experimenting on the animals, turning a Troodon into a "leader" animal influencing the others. Possibly as a result of its corruption, the dinosaurs escaped and killed the human staff members, and escaping into the wild.
The genus became considerably notorious in this new world - an unrelated temporal anomaly sent a military-run city and the surrounding area to around the same time (accepting a few years leeway), providing teams of soldiers tasked with killing them. Unfortunately for the military, no T. rex was reported to have been killed, and they were considered to have no real weakness.
One Tyrannosaurus hunted Regina and Dylan Morton of a 2010 rescue team for miles in the forests against a lake, along with Edward City on the opposite side. Having lost an eye during it's first appearance, the dinosaur proved to be just as obsessive as the one Regina encountered one year earlier (relative to her time-frame). This ultimately led to it's presumed downfall when it stumbled into a Giganotosaurus' territory near the Missile Silo, where it was shaken like a ragdoll before being killed.
Another T. rex, notable for its pitch-black skin, was sent into Hyperspace as a result of the malfunctioning MTHR's manipulation of "Hyperspace", which was ironically causing the temporal incursions that the Noah's Ark team was sent to prevent. A Second World War fighter pilot, Mike Wired, was tasked by Dylan with shutting down MTHR and finally ending the temporal crisis. The pitch-black Tyrannosaurus first made itself known in an entire displaced city, before following Mike all the way up an active volcano. It was heavily injured in the fight with Mike, and fell into the lava.
Ozymandias IncidentEdit
As its crew succumbed to the effects of radiation sickness en route to a colony world, the MTHR system on board the Ozymandias was tasked with creating a new race of humans based on the crew's DNA samples. Unsatisfied with the humans' weakness to cosmic rays, it instead began culturing dinosaur DNA based on available reptile samples, and began augmenting those animals, instead. The outcome of Tyrannosaur experimentation was the Australis, a failed attempt at engineering an animal capable of surviving in vacuum.

Maintaining Your Weight With Parkinson's Disease
Malnutrition and weight maintenance is often an issue for people with Parkinson's disease. Here are some tips to help you maintain a healthy weight.
- Weigh yourself once or twice a week, unless your doctor recommends weighing yourself often. If you are taking diuretics or steroids, such as prednisone, you should weigh yourself daily.
- If you have an unexplained weight gain or loss (2 pounds in one day or 5 pounds in one week), contact your doctor. He or she may want to modify your food or fluid intake to help manage your condition.
Here are some tips for gaining weight.
- Ask your doctor about nutritional supplements. Sometimes supplements in the form of snacks, drinks (such as Ensure or Boost), or vitamins may be prescribed to eat between meals to help you increase your calories and get the right amount of nutrients every day. But, be sure to check with your doctor before making any dietary changes or before adding supplements to your diet. Some can be harmful or interfere with your medication.

Target: Kristján Loftsson, CEO of Hvalur, Iceland's only whaling company
Goal: Demand Kristján Loftsson cease the illegal hunting of fin whales
Commercial whaling has been illegal since the 1982 global moratorium, sponsored by the International Whaling Commission. However, Kristján Loftsson and his whaling company Hvalur have consistently flaunted international regulation and continued to target endangered fin whales for the sale of their meat, blubber, and oil. The second largest animal in the world, fin whales are renowned for their sleek shape and great size. For the past two years Hvalur has refrained from whaling, but in early May the company announced its decision to return to the hunt, hoping to profit from the growing whale meat market in Japan. Hvalur must be stopped to protect this important endangered species.
This is not Hvalur's first transgression. The company's previous illegal whaling history can be traced back to 1986, when it illegally hunted undersized fin and sei whales for "research purposes." Research whaling under a quota is permissible as long as whale byproducts remain within the country, but up to 77% of the whale meat hunted by Hvalur for "research" was exported to Japan for consumption. Worse, Loftsson has kept mum about the profits gained from whaling, leading many to question whether there is any economic profit in whaling or if Loftsson is merely pursuing a needless and extremely cruel hobby. Beginning in June, Hvalur plans to kill at least 154 fin whales.
Fortunately, the tide seems to be turning against Hvalur, even within Iceland. When Hvalur announced its plans to resume whaling in early May, several tourism and animal welfare organizations as well as one newspaper condemned Hvalur's undertakings. The international community has threatened economic sanctions if illegal whaling continues, and many Icelanders resent Loftsson's blatant disregard of whaling regulation that threatens Iceland's international interests as well as the gentle giants he hunts. By signing this position, you will demand that Loftsson renounce his decision to needlessly and illegally prey upon fin whales and hurt Iceland's international image.
Dear Mr. Loftsson,
I demand that you abandon your continued efforts to illegally hunt fin whales, efforts that are incontrovertibly against the 1982 International Whaling Commission moratorium on commercial whaling. Your company has consistently flaunted international regulation and continued hunting and selling the byproducts of these endangered animals despite previous sanctions against your company and your country.
Whaling is not only illegal, but entirely unnecessary. In today's increasingly globalized world, Iceland and Japan are no longer dependent on whales for food or fuel. Your actions are thoroughly unwarranted and unjustified. I demand that you renounce your abominable hobby and reverse your decision to hunt fin whales — creatures that are as endangered as they are magnificent. Your own nation seeks to distance itself from your despicable actions to destroy internationally protected whales, for fear of global sanctions because of your selfish and illegal enterprises. Abandon your plans to continue whaling immediately.

Just a few days ago, my friends and I came across an old insane asylum. We sat outside for a while, drinking a few beers as we sat against the fence. A friend of mine, Chris, was telling us a story about a man who brutally murdered his wife and claimed that a demonic being named Hassan had done it and framed him for the murder. The man's name was Gregory Stone and he was put into the asylum back in 1978.
Despite the rumors of it being haunted and the No Trespassing sign that sat against the fence, we went inside anyway. We were all wandering through the building together, until I separated myself from the other guys. I know I probably should have stayed with them, but I didn't believe in ghosts or anything, so I figured I'd be fine exploring by myself. I found a room that had a bunch of old things. There was a desk with the chair still in place. There were cabinets, each with a single letter stuck to them. It must have been somebody's office or something. There was an envelope on the old desk and it was labeled "The Harley Case". The whole purpose of us wandering through the asylum was to find something interesting enough to take back home and prove to everybody that we were man enough to enter the asylum.
I opened the envelope and pulled out a cassette tape and a stack of papers; one of them being a drawing. The drawing was of some creepy man like thing, dated July 12th, 1978. I noticed an old tape/recorder that sat near the edge of the desk. I picked it up, surprised that it still worked. I dusted it off and I put in the tape, which was labeled "Stone session". The sound wasn't great, but I was able to make out the words without many problems. I typed the first part of the session into my computer.
(Side A)
Dr. Norman: How are you today?
Patient: I'm miraculous, Dr. Norman.
Dr. Norman: That's great, now let's get started.
Dr. Norman: Do you recall who Harley Stone is?
Patient: Why yes, Dr. Norman. She's Greg's wife.
Dr. Norman: Do you know what happened to Harley?
Patient: She was murdered, Dr.
Dr. Norman: Do you know who murdered her?
Patient: Sure I do. It was Hassan.
Dr. Norman: Are you sure it was Hassan? Why would Hassan want to hurt Harley?
Patient: Hassan didn't like Harley, Dr. Norman. He always talked about either ripping her head off or blowing her brains out.
Dr. Norman: Well, why didn't you tell anybody?
Patient: Because he said he'd kill me if I did. He said he'd kill everybody.
(There was like eight minutes of complete silence here for some reason.)
Dr. Norman: Do you know your name?
Patient: Of course, I do.
Dr. Norman: Can you tell me your name?
Patient: Marie (or Mary, I couldn't really tell.)
Dr. Norman: Can you tell me about Hassan?
Patient: I don't like talking about Hassan.
Dr. Norman: Please? It would really help me out.
Patient: Well only since you're cute. (She laughed)
Patient: He's a very bad man, Dr. Norman. He's not human, he's a demon.
Dr. Norman: What does he look like?
Patient: He's really creepy, Dr. Norman. (She whispered) He has long dark hair, he has scars on his face and his eyes are black. If you stare into them, you'd see your worse fears and they'll all come true. That's what scares me the most about him.
Dr. Norman: Is he here now?
Patient: He's always here, Dr. Norman. He's always watching.
Dr. Norman: Where is he? Why can't I see him?
Patient: He's right over there. He's watching you, Dr. Norman. Not everybody sees him, but he's always there. Always watching.
Dr. Norman: Can you talk to him?
Dr. Norman: Well, can you ask him why he's so angry? Why he killed Harley?
Patient: That's a bad word, Hassan. You should never ever say that.
Dr. Norman: What did he say?
Patient: He said that Harley was a bitch and that she had it coming for an awful long time.
(There was a few minutes of silence here.)
Patient: What are you drawing, Dr. Norman?
Dr. Norman: I'm writing some important information down.
Patient: What kind of important information?
Dr. Norman: It's confidential.
Patient: Well, can I draw?
Dr. Norman: Only if you tell me everything I want to know.
Patient: It's a deal, Dr. Norman!
Dr. Norman: Did you murder Harley?
Patient: Of course not! She was my best friend!
Dr. Norman: Well, Victor told me yesterday that you and Gregory were having an affair. Is that true?
Patient: Excuse my language, doctor, but Victor is a piece of shit. He's nothing but a wanna be Al Capone or Bugsy Siegel.
Dr. Norman: So it isn't true then?
Patient: Maybe there was one time, but that doesn't mean anything.
Dr. Norman: So, you didn't murder Harley out of pure jealousy?
Patient: I would never! It was Hassan. I saw him. (She started sobbing.)
Dr. Norman: There's no need to cry, I believe you. Now, do you know where you are?
Patient: I'm at home, I'm always at home.
Dr. Norman: You're not at home anymore. You haven't been home in weeks.
Patient: If I'm not at home, then where am I?
Dr. Norman: You're in a psychiatric institution.
Patient: Why am I here? I don't belong here.
Dr. Norman: You're here because you have problems that you(She cut him off)
Patient: Done! Do you want to see my drawing?
Dr. Norman: I'd love to.
Patient: Do you like it?
Dr. Norman: It's wonderful...what is it?
Patient: It's Hassan, what he really, really looks like.
Dr. Norman: Well I guess you weren't lying when you said he was creepy.
Patient: I'm gonna put his name on it so that now everybody knows what he looks like and that I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy, am I, Dr. Norman?
Dr. Norman: I think it's time to speak to Victor. Is that okay with you?
Patient: I guess so.
(The tape cut to the conversation with Dr. Norman and Victor.)
Dr. Norman: How are you today, Victor?
Victor: What's it to you, Doc?
Dr. Norman: Is something bothering you?
Victor: What ain't bothering me? This place is a living hell. It smells like piss, the people here are fucking strange and I just want to go home, ya know?
Dr. Norman: Do you know why you're here?
Victor: We're all here because of that piece of shit, Hassan. Ya know, he came to me and asked me to whack that chick?
Dr. Norman: What did you tell him?
Victor: I told him I was done with that type of work. I've been out of that business for a long time.
Dr. Norman: Answer me this question and I want an honest answer. Do you think you belong here?
Victor: Hell no! Listen, I ain't no crazy person, Doc. I may have a few bodies myself, but that came with the business. I did everything Boss told me to do.
Dr. Norman: What business do you speak of?
Victor: You know, I was part of a certain family. I was a mobster, a gangster. A damn good one too.
Dr. Norman: No you weren't.
Victor: Pardon me?
Dr. Norman: You were never part of any gang or mob in your life. You haven't killed a single person. You were a car salesman and you belong here, Victor. Just as much as everybody else here.
Victor: Let me tell ya a story, Doc, and this is how I know you're bull shitting me. There was this friend of mine back in 1922. He was a chatterbox, never would shut up about anything. Ya know what I did to him? Ya know how I got him to shut up?
Dr. Norman: What did you do?
Victor: Buon' anima (It took me a while to figure it out but I'm sure this is what he said.)
Dr. Norman: I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with that word.
Victor: It means I fucking killed him. I put a bullet in his head and I threw him in a ditch. I picked up his fucking brains and I fed them to my dog. That's how I know you're fucking bull shitting me, Doc. If you want proof I can show you to his rotten corpse because I'm sure it's still down there.
Dr. Norman: Do you want to know why you belong here, Victor?
Victor: I would love to know, Doc and this better be good because I don't like my time being wasted.
Dr. Norman: You were born in 1941. May 22nd, 1941.
Unknown man: Did you need something, Dr?
Victor: I ain't no crazy person, ya hear? I know when I was born. You can't bull shit me!
Dr. Norman: Show Mr. Stone to his cell. We'll continue the session in an hour or two.
Victor: I'll rip your fucking head off! I ain't no crazy person! I worked with Al Capone!
You could hear Victor screaming all the way down to his cell as it echoed through the recorder. The tape stopped as that was the end of side A. It lasted over thirty minutes and I was so hooked on listening to the tape that I guess I didn't even hear my friends calling out for me. I got a text from one of them and they had already left the building, thinking I was back at home. I text back that I was fine and flipped the tape around to side B, pressing the play button afterwards.
(Side B)
Dr. Norman: How are you feeling, Mr. Stone?
Greg: I'm stuck in a mental institution and everybody thinks that I killed my wife. How do you think I feel?
Dr. Norman: Well if you didn't do it, who did?
Greg: I already told you who did it! It was Hassan!
Dr. Norman: Tell me more about Hassan.
Greg: I've already told you enough.
Dr. Norman: What is your relationship with Hassan?
Greg: We were friends up until he killed my wife.
Dr. Norman: Do you know why he killed your wife?
Greg: He felt that she was getting in the way of our friendship.
Dr. Norman: Can you be honest with me? Is Hassan really real? Did you make him up?
Greg: Why the fuck will I make him up? I'm a 37 year old man.
Dr. Norman: Why can't anyone else see him?
Greg: I am not the only one. Steven sees him too, as do Victor.
Dr. Norman: Who is Steven? I've never met Steven before.
Greg: He's a friend of mine.
Dr. Norman: Can I speak to him?
Greg: What the fuck for?
Dr. Norman: Never mind then. Let's talk about your mother, do you know where she is right now?
Greg: She's in the hospital.
Dr. Norman: Do you know why she is in the hospital?
Greg: Because somebody tried to kill her.
Dr. Norman: Do you know who tried to kill her?
Greg: If I had to guess, it was Hassan.
Dr. Norman: Why would Hassan want to kill your mother?
Greg: The same reason he killed my wife, if I had to guess.
Dr. Norman: Are you sure he killed your wife?
Greg: I'm done talking about my wife.
Dr. Norman: Are you sure he killed your wife? Think about it, Mr. Stone.
Greg: I said I'm done talking about my wife!
Dr. Norman: Do you want some more time in the white room?
Greg: Fuck you.
Dr. Norman: You can make this easier for yourself, Greg. All you have to do is remember.
Greg: Remember what?
Dr. Norman: You have a problem, Greg. I just want to help you with it. Now, I've been playing along with you for too long. It's time for you to remember.
Greg: What the hell are you talking about?
Dr. Norman: Sit back in your chair, close your eyes and just take a deep breath. Try to remember.
Greg: What am I supposed to remember? What the hell is going on here?
Dr. Norman: Just keep your eyes closed, Greg.
Greg: I don't feel right. What the hell is going on?
Dr. Norman: It's just a simple pill to help you gain control of your mind. You've been losing yourself, Greg. You're slipping away and everybody who loves you is worried about you.
Greg: Everybody like who? Harley? Where the hell is my wife?
Dr. Norman: Calm down, Greg. Your wife is dead, remember?
Greg: She isn't dead. She's talking to me right now. She's always talking to me. She never shuts up!
Dr. Norman: What is she saying?
Greg: She says that you're trying to kill her. If you touch my wife, I swear on the holy God, I will fucking kill you.
Dr. Norman: Just keep quiet, Greg and close your eyes. Let your mind relax.
(There was about five minutes of silence)
Dr. Norman: Greg? Open your eyes, Mr. Stone. Now, who killed your wife?
Greg: My wife ain't dead, Doc.(His voice suddenly got deeper with an Italian accent.)
Dr. Norman: Victor? Am I speaking to Victor?
Greg: Ain't nobody else in the room, Doc. Except for Hassan but, oh that's right. You can't see him.
Dr. Norman: I wasn't done speaking to Greg. May I speak to him please?
Greg: Greg is asleep, Doc. It's only me now.
Dr. Norman: Do you remember our last conversation, Victor?
Greg: Ya mean when you tried convincing me that I'm a crazy person? How could I forget?
Dr. Norman: You told me that Hassan killed Greg's wife. Are you sure about that?
Greg: What the fuck do ya mean am I sure? I saw him kill her, I saw him chop her up into pieces. I saw the blood pour out of her head as he chopped it off. We all saw him do it, Doc.
Dr. Norman: Who is we?
Greg: The people I live with, Doc. That annoying bitch Marie, Greg, and Steven.
Dr. Norman: What if I told you Hassan isn't real?
Greg: (He laughed)You're always trying to bull shit me, Doc. It ain't gonna happen. I see Hassan, he's looking right at you and he doesn't like what you are saying.
Dr. Norman: What exactly is he doing?
Greg: He has a knife, Doc! And he's itching closer! He's gonna rip ya fucking head off, Doc!
Dr. Norman: Calm down now, Victor. You don't want time in the white room, do you?
Greg: Ya know something, Doc. You're a real piece of shit. You go around and ya tell people that they crazy when really, you're the only one who can't see him. Now let that sink in, Doc.
Dr. Norman: Tell me this, Greg. Why won't you remember?
Greg: You just called me Greg, my name isn't Greg.
Dr. Norman: I'm sorry, Victor. Can you tell me about Steven?
Greg: Steven is a bit on the weird side. He doesn't talk much.
Dr. Norman: Can I speak to him?
Greg: He isn't here right now. He's never here. He's probably out walking the streets like the crazy fucking drunk he is. If anybody belongs here, Doc, it's him. Even if he was here, he wouldn't speak to you. He don't peak to anybody.
Dr. Norman: How's your wife, Victor?
Greg: She's great. Hey, you wanna hear the story of how we met?
Dr. Norman: I would love to.
Greg: It was back in 1922, after I threw that fuck in that ditch. She was a friend of a friend and he introduced me to her. I'm telling ya, Doc. She couldn't keep her eyes off of me. I met her again the next day, and again after that. Eventually we were inseparable. If that I ain't love, Doc, then I don't know what is.
Dr. Norman: That's a beautiful story, Victor.
Greg: Ya damn right it is. She's the reason why I got out of that business. She was so scared that one day I'd end up in a ditch with bullet holes all in my body. I wasn't having that, Doc. I got outta that business real quick.
Dr. Norman: Well, it's getting late and the session is almost over. Can you do something for me, Victor?
Greg: It depends.
Dr. Norman: Can you sit back in your chair and close your eyes?
Greg: What the hell for?
Dr. Norman: Just an experiment. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Try to remember.
Greg: Remember what? I ain't no lab rat, Doc.
Dr. Norman: All you have to do is lay back, close your eyes and relax. I promise nothing will happen to you.
(Five minutes of silence)
Dr. Norman: Victor? Greg? You can open your eyes now. Mr. Stone, who killed your wife?
Greg: What? (His voice returned to normal here)
Dr. Norman: Your wife, Greg. Who killed her?
Greg: I don't have a wife. I never did.
Dr. Norman: That's great, Greg. You're showing some progress. Now, tell me why you are here.
Greg: Because, I suffer from a personality disorder and I almost killed my mother.
Dr. Norman: Do you know the names of your other personalities?
Greg: Well, there's Marie, Steven, Victor, and Harley.
Dr. Norman: That's good, now who is Hassan?
Greg: He's that creepy fucking guy over there.
Dr. Norman: Okay, I think we're done with today's session. Jonny here will show you to your room. That concludes session 4 of mental patient Gregory Stone who suffers from a rare personality disorder. The next session will occur on another date, which is to be determined.
The tape then stopped.
I was confused afterwards because I recalled my friend, Chris, telling me that he was put into the asylum for murdering his wife and blaming it on a demon named Hassan. But apparently, his wife never existed. I don't know about Hassan though, maybe Gregory Stone was really dealing with evil spirits. Or maybe he was just another person, losing control of his mind. I don't know what really happened in that asylum, but I do know that I would never walk in there again. I grabbed the tape and the drawing and I left the room. As I walked out, I had this creepy, unsettling feeling that something was just behind me, something was watching me.

Kabul (AFP) Dec 31, 2011
Foreign troops fighting in Afghanistan continue to pay a high toll, with more than 560 killed in 2011, the second highest number in the 10-year war against the Taliban-led insurgency.
Commanders from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) say violence is declining following the US military surge which saw an extra 33,000 troops on the ground.
But the UN says violence is up, while recent mass casualty strikes by the Taliban on civilians and coalition troops have fuelled analyst predictions that more bloodshed is likely as NATO hands control for security to Afghan forces.
The death toll of coalition service personnel in 2011 was 565 and includes 417 from the US and 45 from Britain, according to an AFP tally based on figures from independent website icasualties.org.
The number is down from a wartime high of 711 in 2010 after the start of the surge but up from 521 in 2009.
The fatality count has been worsened by several devastating attacks, including the car bombing of an ISAF convoy in Kabul in October which killed 17, and the shooting down of a helicopter in Wardak, south of the capital, in August in which 30 US troops perished.
But it is Afghan civilians who have paid the highest price.
The deadliest attack saw at least 80 people killed in a shrine bombing in Kabul on the Shiite holy day of Ashura in early December.
The surge troops -- ordered in by US President Barack Obama two years ago to turn the tide in the war -- have now begun to pull out, with 10,000 already gone and the rest leaving by next autumn.
Other foreign forces are also scaling down their missions ahead of a 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of all NATO combat forces. And one Western military official said some units have already been told not to carry out offensive operations.
Since the US-led invasion toppled the Taliban from power in 2001, a total of 2,846 foreign troops have died in the conflict.
"We've seen a considerable reduction in enemy attacks (this year). That's a result of successes on the battle field and a reduction of their capability to attack us," said ISAF spokesman Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson.
While fewer ISAF troops on the ground in the coming years may mean fewer coalition deaths, the civilian toll will not necessarily fall.
The UN said the number of civilians killed in violence in Afghanistan rose by 15 percent in the first six months of this year to 1,462. A full-year report is due out in mid-January.
Insurgents are blamed for 80 percent of the deaths, which are mostly caused by homemade bombs or IEDs.
NATO, which says enemy attacks are down eight percent, only includes "executed attacks" and not IED finds or instances where the Taliban intimidate local people.
Haroun Mir, an analyst at Afghanistan's Centre for Research and Policy Studies, said that while the Taliban were no longer engaging ISAF troops head-on, factions within the insurgency were intent on targeting civilians.
"The Taliban are deliberately targeting civilians to spread fear among the people. They want to show that despite the surge they are still active, that they have the capacity to disrupt life, especially in the cities," he said.
The international community is looking for a political solution to the war and moves have been made to establish a Taliban office, possibly in Qatar, to enable peace talks.
But Mir said although some members of the Taliban would be willing to negotiate, others, such as those based over the border in Pakistan, are likely to become increasingly isolated and unleash more violence.
"We expect more terrorist attacks and more political assassinations during the phase of transition. These radical groups will do everything possible, especially after 2014, to weaken the government," he said.
As security is handed over the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), which now number more than 300,000, can also expect to take on more casualties.
However, there is some optimism that the reduction in the foreign presence may in itself lead to a fall in violence.
"The hope is that as foreign troops hand security to Afghan forces fewer local people will become radicalised," said Fabrizio Foschini of the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
"And the insurgents won't kill as many civilians collaterally by using highly destructive tactics to target foreigners," he said.

Turkish PM sorry over deadly strike on Kurds
Gulyazi, Turkey (AFP) Dec 30, 2011
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed regret Friday for the killing of 35 Kurdish civilians in an air strike as mourners vented their fury and rebels called for an uprising. As locals buried their dead, Erdogan admitted that the victims of Wednesday night's attack near the Iraqi border were smugglers and not separatist rebels as the army had originally claimed.
