Soldiers from Iraq, Afghanistan Cope with Combat Stress
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KEME NZEREM, Guardian Newspaper Correspondent: Saturday, May the 19th. It's late afternoon in Baghdad. Photojournalist Sean Smith captures this image. Inside a Bradley armored car, six U.S. soldiers and their translator are burning to death.
This is Sean's account of the horrific events of that day and the following two weeks. His footage starts with a rare moment of calm for Apache Company in Amiriyah, western Baghdad. Then, in the distance, an explosion.
This is Fourth Platoon. They rush out to investigate. Sean films the soldiers as they discover the target of the blast, the Bradley upside-down and on fire. It's been blown up by a roadside bomb.
But Fourth Platoon are too late to help their seven trapped colleagues. Live ammunition explodes inside the Bradley. Seconds later, and nervous, they raid a nearby house looking for the bomb-maker. They detain several men and leave them with interrogators.
SPECIALIST LAKE, U.S. Army: You've got grenades going off. You've got an IED blowing up your vehicle. And then you're expected to go back in those four to five hours and relax, to come back out and do another six hours. You just don't have time to do it. Your body never gets to come down. You're always on that heightened sense of alertness; you just don't have that rest.
KEME NZEREM: Forty-eight hours later, and Specialist Lake's unit are back in the neighborhood. They're conducting random house checks. They're jumpy, but this time all they find is a frightened and elderly woman.
The Fourth Platoon finds nothing and leave, but the next morning this is what happened. Apache Company, Second Platoon, are now on patrol. They're suspicious a car circling their position might be a lookout for nearby snipers. Still nervous after the Bradley attack, they order the car to stop and, when it doesn't, they open fire.
SOLDIER: Oh, he's dead.
SOLDIER: No, he's moving.
SOLDIER: I don't know.
KEME NZEREM: They drag the driver through the nearest front yard and try to revive him. The soldier's attempts to keep the man alive fail. A neighbor turns up; she thinks she knows who he is.
SOLDIER: They say they hired that guy. And they say he's just a taxi driver, that guy who got shot.
KEME NZEREM: The man was killed because he failed to stop. Second Platoon Specialist Vassell was there that day.
SPECIALIST VASSELL, U.S. Army: I challenge anybody in Congress to do my rotation. They don't have to do anything, just come hang out with me, and go home at the times I go home, and come stay here 15 months with me.
KEME NZEREM: The day starts with Second Platoon called to investigate a blast at an insurgent bomb factory. They pick their way through the rubble. Moments later, there's a secondary explosion.
Chaos, debris, and flying shrapnel, an Iraqi soldier has taken the brunt of it. Neighbors, both children and adults, are hurt, too. The Americans set up an emergency first aid operation. They try and help the wounded. A young boy has shrapnel wounds in his face and his body.
It's an ordinary day for the people of Baghdad and Apache Company.
SPECIALIST VASSELL: We're supposed to be on the way home right now. We were supposed to be flying home in six days. Six days. But because we have people up there in Congress with the brain of a 2-year-old who don't know what they're doing, they don't experience it.
I challenge the president or whoever has us here for 15 months to ride alongside me. I'll do another 15 months, if he comes out here and rides along with me everyday for 15 months. I'll do 15 more months. They don't even have to pay me extra.
Exhaustion of combat units
JIM LEHRER: More now, and to Margaret Warner, who recorded this conversation last week.
MARGARET WARNER: For analysis of what we just saw and what it tells us about the stress U.S. troops are under in Iraq, we turn to two former officers who counsel soldiers exposed to combat trauma. Former Navy Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft is a clinical psychologist in San Diego who sees exclusively combat trauma patients. In 2004, she directed a combat stress unit in Iraq and later wrote a book about the experience.
And former Army Major Brian Butler, who served in the first Gulf War, he's now a licensed professional counselor with the Colorado Springs Health Group working with soldiers back from Iraq.
Welcome to you both.
As clinicians in the field -- beginning with you, Heidi Kraft -- what's your reaction to what we just saw? What part of it rings most true to you?
FORMER LT. COMMANDER HEIDI KRAFT, Psychologist: I think the thing, as I watched that clip, that resonated the most with me was overarching exhaustion. I watched these soldiers as they moved through those minutes out there, and we went with them on those missions. And I felt like they just got more and more exhausted as the clip went on.
This is something, unfortunately, that with operational tempo many times we're up against, but of course sleep deprivation and physical and emotional exhaustion all play into a person's ability to cope with stress.
MARGARET WARNER: Brian Butler, what was your overall reaction?
FORMER MAJOR BRIAN BUTLER, Licensed Professional Counselor: My reaction was the multiple levels and dynamics of the trauma, anywhere from seeing a Bradley flipped it upside-down on its top with other Army soldiers dying inside, you have accidentally shooting the wrong person. You're trying to treat civilians who have nothing to do with the combat; they're just simply injured because of a bomb.
So you have all these multiple dynamics of trauma going on at the same time or within a space of a few days and, of course, combined with sleep deprivation and the other stressors that just come with being in a combat environment. It really rang true.
Not knowing who the enemy is
MARGARET WARNER: So, Heidi Kraft, we did see -- a recurrent thing was that they're in and out of these civilian houses, you have bombs going off, you have children bloodied and crying, you have a woman screaming when they just found an old woman looking for an IED planter. What's the overall impact on soldiers with experiences like that?
HEIDI KRAFT: I think that what these guys are seeing in this clip struck me as very, very similar to what my patients who happen to be Marines were telling me about their experiences in 2004. The mission of going door-to-door and working in these environments involves many times not having a clear understanding of who the enemy is and not being able to trust anybody.
There's a real vulnerability of our troops at this time in this conflict, which continues to sort of resonate through everything they do. So of course they're going to be impacted by having civilians be involved in these types of missions, and yet their orders are clear: They can't trust anyone. So it's sort of a double standard that will always be with them and certainly makes this whole process a lot more complicated.
MARGARET WARNER: Brian Butler, of course, the soldier doesn't know whom to trust, but they also see these civilians hurting, physically, emotionally. What kind of impact do you see it in your patients having had?
BRIAN BUTLER: It has a huge impact on them, in terms of the existential anxiety and the confusion they feel in trying to do the mission as well as they can, but at the same time there's no clear-cut boundaries and there's no clear-cut enemy, in terms of trying to distinguish them, the civilians, from the insurgents.
So it does cause a lot of confusion, and it makes them incredibly hostile, because they're in a hostile environment. And when you're in a chronic hostile environment, you tend to begin to see things with a hostile intent, and so you become hostile.
MARGARET WARNER: And the chronic nature of that hostile environment was something that one of the young soldiers talked about. And, Heidi Kraft, I just want to ask you about what he had to say. He said, "Well, you know, we have grenades going off and IEDs, and then we're told to go back and rest for six hours and then come back out again." And he said, "We don't have the time to come down." You're always with that heightened sense of alertness. You don't have time to rest.
Is that actually physically true and psychologically true that they don't get to come down?
HEIDI KRAFT: It is absolutely true, most definitely. The level of arousal in which a person is placed in a situation like that is very, very high. And it is really difficult, both physiologically but especially emotionally, to actually have the recovery process from that level of arousal.
Six hours just isn't going to even start to do it. And yet, as I mentioned, the operational tempo a lot of times doesn't allow them what they really need, which is the time to completely what we call reset, allow their physiology and their emotional cognitive processes to return to normal and heal during that short period of time, and in order to be able to go back.
Time to reset
MARGARET WARNER: And why is that important, to have that resetting time?
HEIDI KRAFT: Well, I think especially in this group that we watched in the clip, they were there for a very extended deployment, which was another thing that they complained about and had a difficult time with, so that we're talking here about two different things, very acute and emergent sort of reaction to what's happening in the moment, which is really the fight-or-flight response, but also a chronic, ongoing and relentless stress that they're up against day after day after day. So the two things layer over each other.
MARGARET WARNER: Brian Butler, what's your sense of what the body and mind need in the way of the intensity of the hostility and the protracted nature of it, to recover from that, to be ready to go back?
BRIAN BUTLER: The concerns I have are the impact on the brain structures and the brain functioning. Long-term chronic exposure to trauma and potential trauma does have an impact on brain function, and there are some recent studies that show that it also has an impact on brain structure.
There's a portion of the brain called the prefrontal cortex. And it is responsible for a lot of executive functions, things that you think about. It kind of is our logic center, if you will, to an extent. Research studies have shown that under prolonged, chronic trauma and stress, the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex is diminished.
There's another portion of the brain called the hippocampus, which other research studies have shown actually could possibly be shrinking in relation to the long-term chronic exposure to trauma, particularly in soldiers. So there's a concern with the impact on brain structure and function that chronic long-term exposure is causing.
And in the short term, absolutely, in World War II and in Vietnam, they frequently would pull whole units out of the front line and give them, oh, easily, a week, sometimes even more, to kind of refit, process what they've gone through, grieve the loss of their friends and their comrades, and then kind of go back in after they've had a chance to calm down and relax.
And those are the things that, if the operational tempo and the mission will allow, need to have happen. And I have no doubt the military is aware of that and are doing what they can to do that.
Processing trauma later
MARGARET WARNER: Heidi Kraft, the other pretty horrible, quite horrible scene, of course, involved the taxi driver mistakenly shot and killed, and then the woman crying and saying he was just coming to pick me up for an appointment. Now, again, what is the impact on soldiers of when something like this happens, when they're involved and responsible? How do they process that?
HEIDI KRAFT: There are many things that people process later in the trauma. A lot of times, these things are not processed in country during the mission, quite simply because you need to keep your blinders on and keep your head in the game and are not allowed -- don't allow yourself to go there, to be able to do the healing work.
But now -- I'm sure Brian would agree -- the people that I see now who have returned from combat and who are struggling with this process, one of the big themes that will emerge again and again is guilt of various types, guilt and shame, many times around the baseline moral and ethical conflicts of combat of any type. This particular conflict, as I had alluded to before, has this element of not knowing who the enemy is and not being able to trust anyone.
And that's what happened with the taxi driver, as well as the old woman. These guys had a very distinct order that they were following, which is, when they tell a car to stop, if it doesn't stop, their orders are clear, because they have to assume that's the enemy.
But I would expect that it's possible some of these guys may suffer from what we call sequelae of that later, and really do -- they struggle with this idea of being a human who values human life and, being in a position like that, having to make that choice, and then having the guilt that they will live with later. It's oftentimes a part of the presentation of post-traumatic stress disorder.
MARGARET WARNER: Thank you so much, Brian Butler and Heidi Kraft. Thanks for being with us.
BRIAN BUTLER: You are welcome. Thank you.
HEIDI KRAFT: Thank you.
JIM LEHRER: And both Heidi Kraft and Brian Butler will be taking questions about combat stress in an online forum. To participate, go to our Web site at PBS.org.

If you plan on breaking the law in Italy anytime soon, you'd better make sure you choose your getaway car very carefully.
In fact nothing short of a supercar that goes faster than 325km/h will give you even the slightest chance against the latest addition to the Italian State Police fleet.
This Polizia weapon is none other than the new Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. Speedy arrests are ensured by a 5.2-litre V8 that shoves 448kW and 560Nm through all four wheels to get the raging bull from zero to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 325km/h if necessary.
But isn't this a waste of taxpayer's money?
Not at all - Lamborghini has donated it to the police force, with CEO Stephan Winkelmann personally handing it over to police head Prefect Alessandro Pansa.
This is not the first time Italian police have had Lambo power at their disposal - the new Huracán Polizia replaces the Gallardos that were used since 2004 and 2008.

Breast Cancer
Is it reaction from radiation or IBC?
I have inflitrating ductal carcinoma stage 3A. Just finished a year of chemo and had radiation to the breast. Radiation finished in Sept. of 2007. Since then have had swelling of the breast,redness, heat, very sore and orange peel effect. they have done a biopsy where the lumpctomey was performed. Came back negative. Have been on several doses of antibotics since July. No results...Breast is getting worse..Went for another biopsy on the other side of the same breast. waiting for results. Idon`t agree with my doctor. What else can I do? Feel as if no one is listening to me. Thank you for your help
Radiation therapy can certainly cause the symptoms and signs you are describing, but so can cancer. If you don't agree with your doctor and feel that your concerns are not being appropriately addressed, then it is always reasonable to seek another opinion. If the second opinion agrees with your doctor, it will give you peace of mind. If not, you can decide with whom you are more comfortable.

The culinary world is Andy Allen's oyster, which is fitting, given that it was his modern seafood basket that clinched victory for him in last night's finale of MasterChef Australia.
The 24-year-old from Maitland, NSW, is still coming to terms with his win amid a whirlwind of post-show publicity that began early this morning.
His immediate plans are to travel with his best mate from the competition, Ben Milbourne.
"Ben and I are so keen to get over to Mexico and explore ... and cook our way through Mexico and see how they do it over there, so hopefully in the future we could open something like [a Mexican restaurant]," Allen told Fairfax today.
He hopes to receive offers from his win but says he is open to all experiences.
"If all else fails, I'm so keen to keep learning, I loved how much I learnt on the show," Allen said. "I basically took on absolutely everything anyone threw at me, so I'm really stoked I've got that black book that I can sift through all the names and numbers and restaurants that I would love to work at and get started.
"I'm getting my head around this Modern Australian thing, and the more I do, the more I love it. The last week, when I got dish of the day three days in a row, those three dishes I loved to cook — I love that style of cooking so I'm really keen to suss out that avenue as well."
He lists Sydney restaurants Gastro Park and Pier, seafood specialists in Rose Bay, as eateries on the top of his list to "check out".
"Then I'm probably going to sit down with all three judges — they probably know my food style better than me at the moment so I'm keen to sit down with them and get their advice on where they think I should go," Allen said.
A seafood main may have secured him a lead in the points in last night's decider but it was Allen's recreation of Christine Manfield's Gaytime Goes Nuts dessert that sealed the win. Incredibly, it was Allen's first dessert success of the 12-week series.
He said he was not frightened by the magnitude of the dish, which took three hours and 40 steps to create.
"I think it actually makes me want to try some more [desserts]. Taking those basics that I learnt in that dessert — making my first ice-cream, making my first bit of honeycomb, making my first caramel — these are all things that are in so many different desserts and I feel like I can apply different flavours and techniques to those things and be a bit creative, so I'm pretty keen to have a crack at my inner-dessert."
I'm a massive foodie but you've got no idea what the people were like in there. Food is their life, that's all they talk about 24/7.
Tight editing means that the audience does not get a good grasp of how involved the challenges are, Allen said, particularly Manfield's creation.
"That was a three-hour challenge and it was condensed into half-an-hour on the show, so they [viewers] really get no idea how much work we actually have to do, and what kind of work goes into that dish to make it so spectacular," he said
"I don't think they get a good judge at all. We actually have to go through the recipes in our interviews; we have to say step-by-step what we did and that could go for up to an hour, sometimes, and they seem to take a five-second grab out of it."
Allen hit his straps towards the end of the competition and agreed that early on, he was probably best known as the guy whose pants split in the early auditions.
"I probably wasn't myself for the first month. I thought I had to put this very straight character on and as soon as I realised that's not how it's meant to be, that people wanted to see me for me, it was the best thing I ever did," he explained. "Because it turns out that people have embraced who I am and they don't mind the character that I am. Once I got to let my hair down and just be myself, the competition got a lot easier."
Fame has already brought interesting and "hairy" situations, including a close encounter with a besotted female fan.
"We were out at a pub and she came up and announced her love for me," Allen said. "It wasn't once or twice, it was three times and she proceeded to ask me to marry her and it got a little weird there. It was tough [to get out of]. It was very, very tough. Obviously I didn't want to be rude or anything, I just sort of sneakily removed myself from the situation."
Allen said his friendship with Milbourne was vital for both to survive as long as they did (Milbourne made it to the final five).
"It was tough for both of us because we were so close to our family and friends. We'd go up to the gym and we'd lift some weights and we'd sit there for two hours talking about things other than the competition, which I think was really important for us.
"I'm a massive foodie but you've got no idea what the people were like in there. Food is their life, that's all they talk about 24/7. It was just good to have someone else I could relate to and get out of that bubble."
He says Kylie Millar is another contestant that he will be staying in close contact with, and the three of them are heading to Tasmania soon to run a pop-up restaurant.
The next dish to cook, Allen says, will be one he shares with his grandparents.
"I'm lucky enough to still have both sides of grandparents so I think I might get together with them and cook them something special because you never know what can happen at that age," he said. "I definitely want to make sure they try some of my food that I've been cooking. I could serve up anything and Nana and Pa and Nanny and Pop would say it was awesome, but I'll have to put up something special."
Allen says he's "definitely" overwhelmed with the options that face him now that the competition is over.
"It's probably the reason why I haven't got that certain food dream yet and it's probably the reason I don't want to pigeon hole myself into something that I have to do, because I'm so open to absolutely anything that comes to me," he said. "I still haven't found that thing that I want to do for the rest of my life in the food world. It's not a bad place to be, it's not a bad spot to be in. I'm thanking my lucky stars and still pinching myself every minute."
He is expecting the change in his life to be tough, "but I want it to be tough".
"I'm really keen to do that grind, to work hard, because I think I could get appearance after appearance, but at the end of the day, they're going to run out. There's going to be another MasterChef and there's going to be another MasterChef winner, so that's all going to run out, whereas if I can sustain myself in something that's worthwhile, then that lasts forever," Allen said.

Back in December of 2004 on The Official Google Blog, Google Software Engineer Kevin Gibbs announced that Google was launching a new Labs project. It was called Google Suggest and provides users with search suggestions in real time while they type. Gibbs mentioned that it actually all came about during his 20% time. He said,
The project stemmed from an idea I had a few months ago, and since then I've been working on it in my 20% time, which is a program where Google allows their employees to devote 20% of their working hours to any project they choose. What's really amazed me about this project is how in a matter of months, working on my own, I was able to go from a lunch table conversation to launching a new service. In my opinion, this is one of the things that really makes Google a great place; that the company's systems, resources and, most important, people are all aligned to make it as easy as possible to take an idea and turn it into something cool.
Four years later after Gibbs started the project in his spare time, and it has publicly launched. Those of you who use Yahoo's Search Assist will already have an understanding of what Google Suggest is all about. For those that aren't familiar, here are some ways that Google Suggest can help improve your searches. Google Suggest:
- Helps you form search queries
- Helps reduce spelling errors

Interestingly enough, in the announcement today, there was no mention of Kevin Gibbs who started this project originally. We don't know if he's moved on from Google, or if he's just no longer heading up this particular project.

Is it ok when the bite becomes worse before it gets better. I got the braces only on top, for now, and my teeth don`t really "fit" together anymore. My bottom teeth are ok, but I have to get my molars "brought down" and alighned with others on top.
Yes, it is common for things to "get worse before they get better". The time to worry is if the orthodontist wants to remove your braces and you are not happy with the result.

When England play Australia in any sport it is always a big occasion and when it is a World Cup, there is added expectation.
We go into Saturday's quarter-final without the injured Andy Farrell. It is not ideal to have a late change but we just have to get on with it.
Andy is an experienced guy and adds a fair bit of power and bulk to the midfield.
That is one of the most important areas of the game. If you let a team like Australia get momentum and quick ball, then you are going to struggle.
I know Andy's selection is a very emotive subject back home but for a rugby league great and Man of Steel to be picked in an England World Cup quarter-final team is a superb achievement.
I do feel sorry for him that he is out of the match but if we win at the weekend then hopefully he will have an opportunity to play a further part in the tournament.
In Test rugby, there is not a lot you can do physically to prepare yourself a week before the match.
You do not go all out and bash lumps out of each other because you often take four or five days to get over the games.
When we have a day off I try to get away from rugby. I popped out to try to do a bit of shopping in Marseille but I failed miserably and stopped at a café. Shopping is not my forte.
We are firm underdogs for this match but that does not bother me, in fact, I prefer it.
Nobody expects us to do anything. We were written off before this tournament, written off during it and that is quite a motivating factor.
People do not think you are going to win and it is quite nice to operate under the radar but now it is England versus Australia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
People are obviously going to start referring back to the triumph of 2003 but as a team we went into this tournament in a very different position from four years ago.
This is a separate game and both teams are starting with a blank sheet of paper. That match will have no bearing on this one.
The last time we played one of the top sides in the world we lost quite embarrassingly and so we have to make sure that does not happen again. There is no point beating around the bush, the South Africa game was a disaster.
Against Samoa we played for 50 minutes and, although individual errors let them back into the match, it was a big step forward from the match against the Springboks.
Tonga was another step forward and at times we started to look quite dangerous and creative as an attacking force.
Now we need to make an equivalent improvement if we are going to have a chance of winning on Saturday.
Australia are a very, very good side and they get the best out of the players they have. Their decision-making axis is very creative and they adapt to what they see in front of them.
Around the field they have a pack that can deliver good ball and outside they have some dangerous runners.
They are one of the most enjoyable sides to watch because they vary their game well and keep you thinking.
Australia have a young fly-half by the name of Berrick Barnes and to me he is the epitome of their sporting system.
They are so efficient in bringing through quality players that do not just have potential but are the finished product.
To be able to replace someone like Stephen Larkham so seamlessly is a credit not only to Barnes but also to the system they have in place.
Australia probably have the most experienced backline in the world and this side have peaked at the right time.
To beat them we will need a rock steady defence, good discipline and control of the ball.
We have to be confident. It is 80 minutes of knockout rugby, winner-takes all, that's it.
Form goes out of the window. It is not about what has gone on before, it is all about what happens on the pitch.
I just want to enjoy it and play as well as I can. Hopefully we can give ourselves the best chance of winning.
We have won a few trophies ourselves and we have some fairly experienced guys who have done it on a big stage. I can assure you that we will give it everything.
What are these?

The passing earlier this week of former Congressman E. Clay Shaw — one of a nearly extinct species of good-government public servants — threw into starker contrast the dysfunction we now face in our leadership.
Conservative politicians don't assess the Affordable Care Act's value by its intrinsic ability to help or harm Americans, but by the reflexive response the word itself can elicit from constituents. The dozens of time-wasting repeal votes the U.S. House has held with such regularity serve only to reinforce the credentials of the would-be repealers with future primary voters. It doesn't matter that the Democratic-controlled Senate would never pass them, or that the president would veto them. The point is that the word "Obamacare" tightens resolve and loosens wallets.
They also have been candid in admitting that once a program that actually benefits people lumbers into motion, it creates a constituency that will never let it die. Over time, that program becomes ingrained in the holistic view of what it is to be an American. Social Security and Medicare are prime examples.
Surveys show that small-government zealots change their tune when questions get specific about cutting benefits that pertain to them or their families. Small government is fine when it's somebody else getting whacked. This is why wealthy contributors to Congress, who have little to gain from government largesse (except from quiet, behind-the-scenes corporate-welfare policies), instruct their toadies to slash programs for the less fortunate. They see themselves as the ones paying for them.
Here in Florida, as in other Republican-ruled states that have turned down the federal implementing funds for the ACA — and that refuse to run their own insurance exchanges — our government is doing everything it can to gum up the works. As long as benighted voters in the Sunshine State continue to buy into the notion that their state rep's willful hobbling of this program harms the hated Kenyan-born pretender, the foot-dragging will continue.
This policy carries with it a time bomb for cynical state officials, however. The same voters who viscerally detest "Obamacare" have friends and relatives everywhere, including in states like California that are actively embracing the plan. When home folks start hearing news about the affordable coverage people in other parts of the country are getting, they're going to wonder why they aren't getting it, too, no matter what it's called. Progressive candidates for state office will make sure voters know where to lay the blame. "Repeal Obamacare" will quickly fade from the lexicon of self-interested candidates.
If you think I'm wrong, ask yourself how many politicians voluntarily bring up same-sex marriage anymore, compared to the "old" days.

Some local residents were standing up for life Sunday during the 14th annual Life Chain here.The chain was formed in Cambridge on Sunday. Life Chain is a national event held on the first Sunday of every October to coincide with the start of Respect Life Month. Participants of all ages were invited to take part by picking up a sign in front of the Guernsey County Courthouse and then quietly take a place along the sidewalk facing Wheeling Avenue or Southgate Parkway.Signs featured three different messages: Abortion Kills Children, Jesus Forgives and Heals and Adoption, The Loving Option.Similar Life Chains took place all across America as a peaceful witness to pro-life views.With recent pro-life appointees joining the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito those participating in Sunday's pro-life events were hopeful the court will someday overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion.The local chain was sponsored by Guernsey County Right to Life.

Beetles Top Latest Inventory of Newly Discovered Species
Posted on January 18, 2012
More than half of the 19,232 species newly known to science in 2009 (the most recent calendar year of compilation) were insects. 9,738 or 50.6 percent of the newly discovered species in 2009 were insects according to the 2011 State of Observed Species (SOS) report released Jan. 18 by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University. The word cloud above visually represents the number of species in each category discovered and officially described in 2009.
Of the newly discovered insects many of them (about 36%) were beetles. Over 3,485 new beetle species were discovered in 2009. This is not surprising as beetles are extremely common on Earth. Scientists estimate that 25% off all known life forms on Earth are beetles. British geneticist and evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane is quoted as saying that the Creator, if he exists, has "an inordinate fondness for beetles."
Here are some more highlights of the report:
- Almost 24% of the new vascular plant species discovered in 2009 were in the monocot order Asparagales, which includes orchids, hyacinths, irises, daffodils, amaryllis, allium, aloe and, of course, asparagus.
- Year to year, the largest order of newly discovered insects is the beetles, and, 2009 was no exception. 3,485 new beetle species (Coleoptera) were officially described including rove beetles (568), ground beetles (421), long-horned beetles (369), leaf beetles (356) and scarabs (288).
- Only 41 new living mammal species were officially described in 2009 and of those, 83% were either bats (44%) or rodents (39%). Almost 90% (133) of the new living amphibian species described in 2009 were frogs.
- There was almost five times more fossil bird species (34) newly described in 2009 than living birds (seven).
- Typical of most years, the largest number of new fish species was in the order Perciformes and 29% of those were in the families Gobiidaw (22) and Cichlidae (11). Gobies include some of the tiniest fish on Earth, and the cichlids include some of the most popular aquarium fish, including the angelfish and damselfish.
- Of the 626 newly described living crustacean species, 224 (31.8%) were in the order Decapoda, which includes crayfish, crabs, lobsters, prawns and shrimp.
- The Colubridae is the largest family of snakes and in 2009, almost 65% of the newly described living snakes were colubrids. In addition to 31 new snakes, new reptile species (living) included 38 lizards, 29 geckos, 12 iguanas, five chameleons and two turtles.
- More than 13% of the new fungus species (living) described in 2009 were gilled mushrooms in the order Agaricales (178). Of the mushrooms, more than one-fifth (21.3%) were in the family Marasmiaceae, which includes shiitake mushrooms.

I'm at a point in my life where I want to be with someone who I would like to marry and raise a family with someday. I am not a party type of girl and don't go out to the clubs and bars to just hang out. That doesn't mean that I don't like to have a glass of wine or a cocktail every so often. I am driven and passionate about life and am very loyal and love to be around other people. I know what I want out of my life and I work hard for what I have. I enjoy being laid back and hanging out and like to be in the company of others.
I am not a huge movie person. I like comedy, romance, action and a few more. I am not a movie buff by any means.
Music is a passion of mine. I like a wide variety of music, but do not listen to heavy metal or rap. I enjoy country, pop, rock, classical, alternative and others.
My favorite food is sushi but I am also a huge fruit lover. There is almost no fruit that I don't like. I am not a picky eater.

3. My pets: I have 2 bunnies and 2 cockatiels. They keep me very entertained.
4. My friends. I love them each dearly and they help make me who I am.
5. My love for helping people. I cannot imagine myself in a better field or having a different career. When you change people's lives, its a very good feeling.

An artistic celebration of femininity
Femininity has often been explored by painting's great masters. Now, you can see for yourself with a visit to Austria and to an art exhibit that showcases female beauty as seen through the eyes of Klimt, Kokoschka and Egon Schiele.
When three Viennese masters celebrate women, beauty and sensuality are front and center. This fall, Vienna's Belvedere Museum, the renowned home of the largest collection of Austrian art, has brought together a selection of works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka that all illustrate the point. On view? 128 paintings, all almost life-like in size and all skillful in revealing the true beauty of the female body – from a passionate embrace by Schiele, to Klimt's voluptuous Madonna and Kokoschka's couple, locked in a blue-tinted embrace. It all makes for a stunning homage to naked confidence and liberated womanhood. Each part of the exhibition, which is divided according to four evocative themes including portraiture, mother and child, the couple and the nude, explores the female form with strength and without consideration of social restriction. Now, all you need to do is go and admire.
"Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka and Women" runs until February 28, 2016 at the Belvedere Museum, Vienna. Prinz Eugen-Straße 27, 1030 Vienna, Austria. Tel: +43 1 79 55 71 34.

A Student's Account of an End-of-Year Simulation Trip
Cultural Dialogue and Mint Tea
by Charlotte Bennborn, M.A., 2008
Let's be honest, a dual, bilingual Masters Degree is something we would all like to be able to add to our CV. At AGS, this is a possibility, and year after year a number of us take on the extra challenge of the Université Paris XI (Sceaux) program in Strategic Negotiations. It is an arduous degree, taking up many precious hours. But it is all worth it in the end, not least as each year culminates in a final negotiation in a (hopefully) exotic location.
The 2007 batch of students were not disappointed as the destination for the yearend simulation was Alexandria, Egypt. Do not be fooled into thinking the students spent their time sipping mint tea whilst enjoying a view of the sparkling Mediterranean. The seven days were packed to the brim with hard work, tough negotiations, and little sleep.
More than a hundred students from French, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Lebanese universities came together at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to thrash out an agreement on the final contentious articles of the "The Charter of Alexandria on Cultural Interactions and Crisis Management".
The fiftypage document is the fruit of eight months of work by the Master's students and aims to present modes through which conflict within the EuroMediterranean region can be prevented and resolved through cultural interaction. To this end, the participants spent a large part of their academic year immersing themselves in the role of a specific country either party to the EuroMediterranean Partnership or a state with a vested interest in the region's affairs.
Under the caption of "Cultural Interactions and Crisis Management in the EuroMediterranean Region", the multinational student body spent two days engaging in heated negotiations in a conference room at the renowned Alexandria Library. The simulation came to an emotional end when all parties agreed on the remaining articles of the charter and gave their seal of approval to the final document. The end of the negotiation was followed by a daylong conference on the very same topic, headlined by experts in the field.
Despite plenty of preparatory work, development of tactics, dealmaking and nighttime negotiations in hotel corridors, we did have one day in which to take in the most famous of all Egyptian landmarks - the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Between you and me ... the Sphinx really is surprisingly small! There was also an official tour of the impressive architectural wonder that was our "office" for three days of our stay - the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
For some of us, the visit even included a taste of what the life of a diplomat may have in store when we were invited for an evening at the town's French consulate. My personal impression is that diplomacy really involves an open bar, a nice buffet, and fervent exchanging of business cards.
On a serious note, Alexandria 2007 was a testament to what true intercultural dialogue is all about. Just among the students from the Sceaux program in Paris, we represented no less than seventeen nationalities. The negotiation may have been a student exercise, but it certainly highlighted the pertinence of favoring intercultural dialogue as a means for conflict prevention and resolution.
Considering that 2008 will be the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue as designated by the European Commission with special focus on youth, the Alexandria negotiation and conference could not have been staged at a more appropriate time.

SFU roundup: Van Laare nets 18
Guard Kia van Laare of New Westminster had a game-high 18 points as the Simon Fraser University women's basketball team downed the Western Oregon Wolves 80-38 at SFU's West Gym on Saturday.
All of her points came from beyond the arc hitting six of eight shots from three-point range.
"For me I just think it works to be calm and focusing on shooting," said van Laare in a press release. "Our guards are really good at getting the ball to the open person and I was open [Saturday]."
With the win, the Clan are 8-1 on the season and 2-0 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play. They don't play again until Dec. 29 when they play host to the Trinity Western University Spartans.
"Going into this break, it's really important we set goals for ourselves in practice and do our best to keep our fitness up," said van Laare. "We need to focus on what' to come because we have some big games coming after the break."
Last Thursday, the Clan women opened up GNAC play by downing the visiting Saint Martin's Saints of Lacey, Wash., 82-45. Erin Chambers led the Clan with 24 points while van Laare contributed nine points and three assists in 19 minutes of floor time.
Men lose to defending champs
The Clan men's hoopsters kicked off conference play with a 93-76 loss to the defending NCAA Division II champion Western Washington University Vikings on Saturday.
SFU's David Gebru had a game high 34 points for the Clan, who next play on Dec. 17 against Dominican University of California Penguins in San Rafael and the Academy of Art University Urban Knights in San Francisco on Dec. 19.
Soccer dreams dashed
Simon Fraser University men's soccer squad's attempt to become the first Canadian school to win a NCAA championship came to an abrupt end Thursday. The Saginaw Valley State Cardinals of Michigan downed the Clan 3-1 in a championship semifinal in Evans, Ga.
The Cardinals scored the only goal of the first half in the 15th minute, but then added two more in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Carlo Basso got SFU's only goal in the 59th minute on an unassisted play.
After the tournament, SFU's Matt Besuschko was named a first-team all-American, while Michael Winter earned a spot on the second team with freshman Ryan Dhillon making the third and Carlo Basso receiving honourable mention.

Low sales force employee cutsFeb. 16, 2001
Students among those losing their retail positions
By TYLER EMLER
Students who used to shop at retail stores such as Structure and Montgomery Wards might have come back from Christmas to a shocking discovery -- the stores are now gone. Structure, which suffered from inadequate sales, and Montgomery Wards, which has closed all of its stores nationwide, are victims of a national trend of slumping retail sales.
The national retail slump, caused by a drop in consumer spending, has forced many stores to limit the number of employees they carry.
'A lot of these stores base the number of people that they have on staff [on] the volume [of sales],' said Pamela Patrick, assistant manager of American Eagle Outfitters in the Richland Mall. 'If we're not doing the volume, then [managers] kind of put a stop on hiring.'
Patrick said they cut their number of employees from five to two because of a lack of customers.
Sonia Hassler, the store manager at Bealls Department Store in the mall, said, 'your payroll is your biggest controllable expense in a retail store. You can have 50 [employees] and your store is going to look great, but you're going to have a high payroll cost. So you have to have an associate ratio to your customers.'
Hassler said Bealls' owner, State Stores Inc., has closed 300 stores, one of which is in Bellmead, because of 'economical problems with the trends' after 'filing a chapter 11 bankruptcy.'
She said there were now only 330 stores left.
Jack Stewart, president and CEO of the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, said the low retail sales are not abnormal and that the sales in Waco are currently stable. He said the first few months of the year generally have low consumer spending.
Stewart said the reason stores like Montgomery Wards are having problems is because they aren't able to stay competitive.
'The good stores survive, and the bad stores won't,' he said.
Some major department stores, such as Sears, have not experienced any drops in sales.
Gary Self, the store manager of the Sears in Waco, said his chain actually experienced an increase in sales over the last few months.
'Nationally we were up a little over 3 percent. We had a nice increase [in sales] in January,' Self said.
Self said February sales were slow but that it was because of cooler weather rather than national trends.
