Subtle malformations in the brains of patients with schizophrenia also tend to occur in their healthy siblings, according to investigators at the Silvio Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Shape abnormalities were found in the brain's thalamus.
The researchers performed brain MRI scans in 25 patients with schizophrenia and their non-affected siblings and compared the scans with those of 40 healthy volunteers and their siblings. Comparisons were possible through a process that converts images into three-dimensional models of brain anatomy, called high-dimensional brain mapping. The technique allows scientists to detect tiny differences in brain anatomy.
"We're interested in the thalamus because it has a lot of connections to the prefrontal cortex," says Michael P. Harms, Ph.D., senior scientist at the Conte Center. " In addition to psychosis, schizophrenia is characterized by other difficulties, such as issues with working memory and decreased cognitive performance. Those symptoms are believed to involve the cortex, and since the thalamus projects throughout the cortex, it's conceivable abnormalities in the thalamus may be related to those symptoms."
Since individuals with schizophrenia and their healthy siblings showed evidence of the same shape abnormalities in the thalamus, the researchers want to look more closely to determine whether these deformations may represent biological markers of disease risk.
"We devised a mathematical approach and developed a shape score based on the differences in shape that we observed between those with schizophrenia and the healthy control subjects," Harms explains. "Then we computed shape scores for the siblings of the schizophrenia patients. Their scores landed between the scores of the controls and the individuals with schizophrenia. The siblings had an intermediate degree of deformation in the thalamus."'/>"/>

US surgeons have succeeded in removing part of a patient's stomach through her vagina, paving the way for a new, less invasive form of obesity surgery.
The 'gastrectomy' procedure was carried out at the University of California San Diego Centre for the Future of Surgery on 29-year-old Maria Soto, who weighed 253 pounds before surgery despite only being five feet tall.
Ms Soto revealed: "I chose this surgery because I needed to lose weight and wanted a procedure that offered less pain and fast healing.
"I liked this option because there were only two small incisions and a short hospital stay."
During the 75-minute procedure, surgeons removed 80 per cent of the patient's stomach so that she now feels full after eating less.
Dr Mark Talamini, professor and chair of surgery at UC San Diego Medical Centre and president of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, commented: "Our goal is to continually improve and expand surgery options using emerging technology so that patients experience less pain and better outcomes."

Same-sex Marriage on Ballot in MaineWritten by Jack Kenny
"As Maine goes, so goes the nation," was a popular saying in the days when Maine voted before the rest of the nation and the choice was usually Republican or Democrat. But when Maine voters go the polls next Tuesday, they will decide whether the state's definition of marriage will be a union of man and woman or person to person. The Downeast voters face a referendum to determine whether the law establishing same-sex marriage, passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor last spring, will remain the law or be consigned to the dustbin of legislative history.
Those who would accuse Barack Obama of pandering to — if not sympathy for — Islamists have been handed some powerful new ammunition. In a disturbing move, the Obama administration is joining Muslim nations in supporting a UN resolution restricting criticism of religion, a measure reflective of those nations' blasphemy laws.
According to media reports, Pope Benedict XVI is continuing his efforts to return some disaffected Catholic traditionalists to the "fold." In the wake of the Second Vatican Council, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) were at odds with the papacy on several issues resulting from the council, which both sides viewed as fundamental.
That an "artist" would be accused of publicly assaulting the Christian religion is hardly news; even the obscene scribblings on display recently at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, Scotland hardly attracted any attention. Thus, when the Associated Press carries a headline, "Comic-Strip Artist R. Crumb Mocks Book of Genesis," the "news" in the story is not that yet another "artist" may be cashing in on shock value, but that the aging '60s artist was still alive. For a reader born after 1968 — unless they are "fans" of the underground comix genre — the most immediate reaction they would have to today's story is: "Who?"

COLUMBUS – The Carolina Hurricanes fell behind to the Columbus Blue Jackets but didn't mind because the result was different than the last time they played.
Carolina came back from a one-goal deficit by scoring three goals in the second period in a 3-2 win at Nationwide Arena on Sunday.
Brad Malone broke a 2-2 tie late in the second and the Hurricanes (26-24-8) ended a three-game losing streak.
One of those losses came Tuesday when they led 3-1 after the first period against the Blue Jackets.
"It was definitely in the back of our minds," Carolina defenseman John-Michael Liles said.
Columbus (30-35-4) rallied for a 4-3 shootout win to start a three-game winning streak that ended when the Blue Jackets couldn't hold a first-period lead on Nick Foligno's 25th goal.
"It was nice to be able to play them again in such a short time and come into their rink and get a win," Carolina defenseman Justin Faulk said.
Faulk and Ron Hainsey also scored for the Hurricanes. Andrej Nestrasil had two assists and Anton Khudobin made 22 saves.
Scott Hartnell scored the second goal for the Blue Jackets and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves.
"We just didn't play well, especially the first two periods," Columbus center Brandon Dubinsky said. "I thought the third period we got back to our game. It's been the story of our team."
A bland first period ended with a bang for the Blue Jackets when Foligno scored with 0.6 seconds left to give Columbus a 1-0 lead.
"Obviously it's a little disappointing, no question about that, but there's still 40 minutes of hockey," Carolina coach Bill Peters said. "That's the main thing."
Foligno took a pass at the right edge of the crease and tried to stuff the puck past Khudobin. After the initial save, Foligno was able to whack the puck through the pads before the green light went on.
Liles said the Hurricanes used the first intermission to regroup.
"It's over and done with. It's unfortunate," he said. "Nobody wants to give up a goal that late in a period, especially on the penalty kill. Guys refocused and from there were strong on the penalty kill."
If there was any momentum gained from Foligno's late score, it evaporated for the Blue Jackets in the second period because of a slew of penalties.
Columbus went to the box three times in the first 6:56 of the second and the Hurricanes made them pay to even the score to start a rush of four goals in a 5:49 span.
Carolina made it 1-1 on its fifth power play of the game with the 14th goal by Faulk. The defenseman scored on a shot from the high slot at 8:11.
"He's got the shot that's weapon and he's become more comfortable bringing the puck up the ice," Peters said.
Hainsey, a former Blue Jackets defenseman, scored his second goal with a shot from the left wall that went through traffic at 9:45.
"Some guys are going for one shift then the next shift it was hard to watch from the bench," Hartnell said. "It was a frustrating period to say the least. I don't think we're a good enough team to win when it's not 20 guys going. That's a fact."
The Blue Jackets tied the game 2-2 at 12:27 when Hartnell scored his 21st goal.
It was Hartnell's fifth goal in four games but rookie linemate Marko Dano did the work, taking the puck in the right circle and going inside and outside on Michal Jordan, sending the Carolina defenseman to the ice. Dano then skated to the net and sent a backhanded pass to Hartnell.
"When we were going out there he said, 'I'll be skating down the wing,'" Hartnell said of Dano. "I'm thinking that's a pretty confident player right before the draw.
"The pass was almost as nice as the move. It was a backhand, saucer pass. I'll take one of those every night for sure."
Dano would've appreciated the play more if the outcome of the game was different.
"It's nice when we can score a goal like that but we needed a big win for the team," he said.
Malone scored the game-winner at 14:00 with a redirect of a Brett Bellemore shot for his seventh goal with 6:00 remaining in the second.
"The guys have been strong mentally all year and they showed that again today," Peters said.

Following years of extensive renovations by Orient-Express, this Santa Barbara icon lives on to thrill a new generation of guests with its relaxed-luxe bungalow rooms, lush gardens, and personalized service. Built in 1915, the landmark-preserved, Mediterranean-style complex has hosted many luminaries over the years, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and privacy-seeking stars from Hollywood's golden years. After the original hotel fell into decline, Orient-Express purchased the 7-acre site and spent more than $100 million to revitalize the whole place. Rooms and suites come in two styles of bungalows—Craftsman and Mission—nestled among lush gardens, courtyards, and pathways. Because of the landmark status, many of the original architectural details have been preserved, but interiors have been refreshed to feature top-of-the-line furnishings, plush beds, heated floors, and free Wi-Fi; many rooms also have fireplaces, private terraces, or oversized tubs. The grounds also include
a serene lily pond (a favorite spot for weddings), an outdoor pool with ocean views, and a top-notch spa incorporating locally sourced products. Chef Leo Ayala's menus at the on-site restaurant ($$$$) focus on California coastal cuisine. The clubby lobby and bar hosts afternoon tea and live music at night, but the heart of the place is the dining terrace, which has panoramic views of city and ocean.

William Neil's compositions present the listener with an intense brilliant effect (FANFARE MAGAZINE) and represents contemporary writing at its most intellectual probing (CHICAGO TRIBUNE).
William Neil's compositions present the listener with an intense brilliant effect (FANFARE MAGAZINE) and represents contemporary writing at its most intellectual probing (CHICAGO TRIBUNE). His extremely characteristic harmonic world (CLASSICAL CD REVIEW) is fundamental to the unfolding of his music. Never exhausting his quest for what he calls "dream craft", Neil regularly performs with Project Fourth Stream, immersing himself in the energy of improvisation and spontaneous composition. In the 1980's Neil was appointed as the first composer-in-residence with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the first residency of its kind with a major American opera company. He then went on to produce award winning concerts and events at the New Music Chicago Spring Festival for several years. His has composed music for celebrated musicians including John Bruce Yeh and Chicago Pro Musica, guitarist Michael Lorimer and soprano Barbara Ann Martin. His Rhapsody for Violin, commissioned by the Abelson Foundation, was premiered in Prague by the Czech National Symphony conducted by Paul Freeman has been recorded and released on the New Albany label. The Rome Prize and the Charles Ives Award are among his honors. His work has been recognized through grants from the National Endowment of the Arts, the Illinois Arts Council, fellowships from the Fulbright Commission and the American Symphony Orchestra League and awards from ASCAP and BMI. In 2008 he served as the McKnight Visiting Composer with the American Composers Forum for the city of Winona, MN. Most recently, Trio Malipiero premiered his piano trio, Notte dei Cristalli, at the Teatro alla Specola in Padova in June. The La Crosse Symphony Orchestra, directed by Alexander Platt will premiere his Symphony No. 1 (Sinfonia delle Gioie) in October of this year. Neil is the artistic director of TheComposerStudio.Com, LLC that specializes in film and sound design for theatre. Recently, he has produced sound design for the In Tandem Theatre Company production of Beast on the Moon and The Glass Menageries in Milwaukee, WI.

Article by Lucio Francesco Masci, appeared in Jemi (We are), an Arbëreshë / Italo-Albanian Website. Translation by Nick Ceramella
In the silence of music
A rare thing can be precious for its uniqueness, but also for its high expressive value, or for both reasons.
On Saturday 27 June 2015, in Santa Sofia d'Epiro (Shën Sofi), an Arbëreshë (Italo-Albanian) town in Calabria, Southern Italy, a rare, and perhaps unique event took place, William Neil's Concerto Verde, Bianco, Rosso (Green, White, Red Concert).
Besides some of his own compositions, he played on the piano some works by Alexander Scriabin, Johann Sebastian Bach, Burt Bacharach-Hal David, and Tom Gullion. Each piece was thematically introduced by six of his poems which were masterly narrated by the Arbëreshë scholar Nick Ceramella, who also translated them into Italian.
The title of the recital, Verde Bianco, Rosso, 'is above all a homage to Italy and its culture', Mr Neil says. But in more personal terms, each colour represents a different aspect: green symbolizes the balance between past and present, white the purity of voice and Neil's trust in his creativity instilled in his music and poems, and, lastly, red expresses the spontaneity which he cultivates in his piano improvisations.
As soon as the music starts, one is charmed, and virtually feels physically wrapped in it, so one has the sensation of getting absorbed into a whirl of notes. Meanwhile, the Being is poised in a state of pleasant relaxation in which one can hear the sound of silence until the whole experience becomes an agreeable dream. During this trip between sound and words, music and poetry, where poetry is also music and blends with it, one can see little by little, or rather hear, a wide variety of colours among which the most evident ones are the relaxing green, the spiritual white, and the creative red.
Mr Neil. this ecletic and peculiar musician-poet, who rejects any particular genre, though he finds himself in all of them, in agreement with the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce, confirms that Art has no genres. He does not only offer his works, but also those of composers of different periods, whose artistry he touches on with great inventiveness and originality. Thus making us perceive that Pure Beauty is timeless and does not belong to any genre.
By going from the romantic Scriabin and passing to the experimental jazz player Tom Gullion one can catch, however slightly, conscious or unconscious hints at some contemporary musicians such as Cage, Piazzolla, Glass, Jarrett, which confirms that music is basically an extreme elevation of human beings and that there is no genre distinction.
Through his amazing performance at Santa Sofia, Neil has not only shown his great expressive ability and talent, but equally important, as everybody has certainly noticed, also the courage of humbleness, a feature our World badly needs nowadays.
Now I would like to close this review by thanking our fellow-villagers, Nick Ceramella for offering us the terrific opportunity to delight in William Neil's music and poetry, and Demetrio Ceramella, promotor of this initiative financed by the local municipality.

While EKCO® Cookware is still offered in our vast product portfolio, EKCO® kitchen tools and gadgets grew at a tremendous rate over the years and historically EKCO® was the only notable kitchenware brand, almost single-handedly servicing the marketplace for many, many years. The EKCO® brand became the gold standard for quality, reliable utensils that were used for everyday day meal preparation in kitchens across America. Even with the variety of items to choose from today, EKCO® tools and gadgets still remain one of the most recognizable and trusted brands in the business!

Mango Beach Inn, St Lucia: hotel review
Marigot Bay, St LuciaShow on map
Mango Beach Inn, in the Caribbean, is a St Lucia hotel offering a homely vibe, excellent value for money and views over one of the most beautiful bays anywhere in the Caribbean.
Expert Rating
Fred Mawer lives with his family in Bath. His travels take him to the Caribbean every year, and he has been writing about the islands for the Daily Telegraph and other publications for more than 15 years.
Why go?
Mango Beach Inn looks out over a jungly garden to one of the most beautiful bays anywhere in the Caribbean. The only way to reach the homely b & b is by boat.
Like The Hotelegraph on Facebook for the latest hotel news and reviews
On the far side of Marigot Bay, a deep, verdant and jaw-droppingly beautiful "hurricane hole". To get to the b & b, you make a two-minute crossing on the little goes-on-request ferry, then follow a boardwalk through the mangroves. Marigot's beach - an idyllic, little sandy promontory poking into the bay - is a short stroll from the inn.
Mango Beach Inn is a family home, with cats and a dog moseying around. Guests have the run of a huge, airy, pillared and vaulted living room, with knock-out views across the bay, an honesty bar, breakfast tables, old clocks and seahorses on walls, a globe here, books and magazines there. Below the property lies a magical garden, home to lizards and hummingbirds galore and a secluded, oval-shaped swimming pool.
The British owners, Judith and John Verity, are very hands on, and have lots of stories to tell about life on St Lucia. They used to part-own and run the big hotel on the other side of the bay, now called Capella Marigot Bay.
Decorated with murals and a mish-mash of domestic furnishings, the five bedrooms feel like spare rooms in a private house. That said, all have en-suite bathrooms (with good plumbing to keep American guests happy, stresses Judith) and a fridge; two have private terraces; and all but one has air-conditioning - recommended, as it can often be sticky and rather airless in the bay.
Food & drink
With mangoes, papayas and bananas from the garden, local jams and honey, and fresh croissants from a bakery, breakfasts sound good. The Veritys own The Rainforest Hideaway (see our restaurant recommendations): one of the top places to eat on St Lucia, it is accessed from the Mango Beach Inn via a gate at the bottom of the garden.
Value for money
Good value, given that most accommodation on St Lucia is far from cheap. Bear in mind that The Rainforest Hideaway is expensive. Rates include breakfast and Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Family friendly?
Yes - the Veritys have lots of grandchildren, and Judith is very happy to babysit.

LOS ANGELES -- Chris Paul had a double-double in the first half and finished with 30 points and 13 assists to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 107-102 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night at Staples Center. Without leading reserve Jamal Crawford, sidelined by a sore foot suffered Tuesday in their win streak-snapping loss at Denver, the Clippers turned to their two stars, Paul and Blake Griffin. Paul made a fadeaway jumper over Kobe Bryant with 27 seconds left to put the Lakers away after the Clippers nearly surrendered a huge second-half lead. The Clippers led by as much as 19 in the second half before the Lakers trimmed it to as little as three. Griffin had 24 points, including 10 in the third quarter, but had just five rebounds. Matt Barnes had eight points in the second quarter off the bench for the Clippers, who jumped back into the win column after losing two straight following a team-record 17-game winning streak. Kobe Bryant had 38 points to lead the Lake...

МимимиFebruary 9, 2013Home • Minsk, Belarus
Ну вот же ж блин!
Quite possibly the best pint of Guinness in the world.
Хороший ассортимент, удобная парковка, мало очередей - отличный торговый центр
Good to come here to celebrate an occasion and enjoy the best steak in Dublin.
Great place for all kinds of car repairs at a reasonable cost.
Sometimes you can be lucky and park here. There are about six spots here.
Great ribeye steaks. Rare is delicious. Lovely interior, professional staff, superb restaurant overall.
This place is so terrible that I should be terrified of it but I'm terrified of being terrified so I'm not and it's nice.

Global warming is here …
Staff Report
FRISCO — With El Niño still strengthening in the Pacific Ocean, many parts of the northern hemisphere are breaking all-time heat record this week, including England, where tennis players in the early Wimbledon rounds have to contend with the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the UK.
The ongoing heatwaves parts of Asia, North America and Europe may be a clear sign that 2015 will, as expected, end up as the hottest year on record for the globe, and a sign of trouble ahead, as deadly heatwaves are expected to increase and put millions of people at risk, with the threat growing every year, according to a recent climate study.

Calvary Community Care can also provide help with basic tasks such as kitchen and bathroom cleaning, floor mopping, vacuuming, laundry, changing linen and meal preparation.
Respite care provides short-term relief for carers so they can take a break. Carers may need to balance family or work commitments with their carer role, or need to take a short break or holiday.

Respite care can be provided in the home, within day centres or at overnight cottages. We also provide support groups and education resources for carers.
Coming home after a hospital visit can sometimes be challenging, especially if family members are working, live interstate or aren't available to help. We can arrange a pick up from the hospital and help with shopping, pharmacy visits, meal preparation, housework and personal care. Overnight sleepover support is also available.
Our Hospital to Home services can be booked before hospital admission, during the hospital stay or before discharge.

Downtown, Cairo, Egypt.
Kazaz: Downtown Cairo's Hub For Cheap Fast Food
It's easy to get discouraged by cheap baladi food in Cairo, where sometimes a taameya sandwich for 2LE can be a huge, regrettable mistake. If you're looking for a dependable baladi restaurant that delivers up Cairo's yummiest fast food that's also always affordable, however, then what you're looking for is Kazaz.
Aside from offering every variety of taameya and foul that exists, Kazaz's shawerma sandwiches are Downtown's finest. The meat is fresh and sautéed with tomatoes, onions and peppers. The sandwiches come in three sizes, the smallest of which is served in a semi-sweet, sesame seed Kaiser bun and drizzled with tehina sauce. The medium and larger sizes are served in classic, long shawerma rolls. Baladi burgers are another Kazaz classic that can hit the spot. In between a sesame seed roll, a perfectly sunny-side-up egg sits on a beef patty with cheese and all the fix-ins.
A review on Kazaz wouldn't be complete without mentioning their terrific lentil soup. Although not quite suitable for warm weather, you might find yourself ordering it anyway; it's just that irresistible. The lentil soup has the perfect thickness and is served with raw onion, fresh lemon and tiny pieces of crunchy, fried bread.
Conveniently located next to Ahwa Bustan and Stella Bar, many regulars pick up something quick before heading to a nearby hangout. Although Kazaz is mostly known for its fast food service, there is a seating area upstairs if you're looking for a sit-down meal. Try the 1/4 chicken meal, which is served generously with chicken soup, rice, mixed vegetables and fresh salad. There are other Egyptian goodies and they're all pretty delicious, including molokheya, mahshi and fresh okra in tomato sauce.
Kazaz's take-away section stays open until the very early hours of the morning, so it's a perfect place to satisfy a midnight craving or to hang out after a long night. Kazaz delivers in the Downtown area, so if you live in the neighbourhood; you're in luck. They're generally quite fast, but they definitely have their off nights.
Kazaz is living proof that delicious food in Egypt can be affordable. Foul and taameya varieties never exceed 2LE to3LE, shawermas cost between 4LE to 9LE, and lentil soup costs 4LE. Full meals, such as the 1/4 chicken meal, cost around 20LE to 25LE.
No matter how much we love pizza, sushi or nachos, our very own traditional Egyptian cuisine will forever remain our go-to comfort food; because let's face it, it's in our genes. Craving some homemade Egyptian food, we paid a visit to Maadi's Kazouza on Street 9, which hits enough right notes in terms of atmosphere and delicious Egyptian street bites offered.
After miraculously finding a parking spot around the corner and doing a discrete little happy dance - spotted by the people in the car next to us - we were greeted by thefriendly staff into an all-outdoors area, where we took our seats next to several fans leaving us slightly pacified in the insufferable heat.
With a traditional Ahwa Baladi setting, Kazouza offers Egyptianised décor with retro touches, including circular Ahwa tables, old-looking salt and pepper shakers, aged frames as well as vintage tin boxes - the kind of stuff you'd find at grandma's house.
Checking the menu, we were a little disappointed to find that many items were either unavailable or are still to be added in Kazouza's new menu. .
After some debate, we opted for some fries (8LE) and Cheese Sambousak(14LE) as appetisers, which arrived, hot and delicious, in no time.
The fries were gold and crisp, while the four sambousak pieces satisfied our afternoon cheese-cravings; perfectly crunchy on the outside, with soft molten cheese on the inside infused with fresh mint.
Coming up next was the much anticipated feteer, Kazouza's signature dish served on a wooden cutting board; we went for a Mixed Meat Feteera (50LE) - comprised of sausages, minced meat and salami mixed with vegetables and cheese. We also wanted to try out Kazouza's Kofta sandwiches (12LE), served in fino bread.
Taste-wise, the feteer was among some of the best we've ever had, boasting a fluffy texture, fresh ingredients and a balanced combination of cheese, meat and veggies. As far as the size goes, however, the portion was rather small. The kofta sandwiches were also a success; smothered in tomatoes and tehina, the meat wasn't too greasy and we loved flavourful seasoning.
After our feteer and kofta fiesta - and after washing it all down with some cold refreshing lemon juice and some Karkadeh (11LE each) - we were ready for dessert. Dessert, however, wasn't ready for us; many of the items in the menu, including rice pudding and cream caramel, weren't available at the time of our visit.
We eventually opted for Cream and Custard Feteer (31LE). It must have been fate, though, because we quickly forgot about the unavailable dishes; filled with heavenly fresh cream, sprinkled with coconut and dripping a delicious syrup, it made up for the initial dessert choices we craved.
Overall, we left Kazouza with mixed feelings; on one hand, the food and the service were excellent, the décor and props were creative, but on the other hand, the small portions and the unavailability of several items was disappointing.

BAGHDAD — Identity cards issued to members of Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr's illegal militia are brandished openly in areas controlled by the firebrand Muslim cleric, reflecting widespread defiance of the central government.
Other Iraqis also seek the protection of the cards, which ensure the bearer of safe passage in Sadr City — home to about 2 million Shi'ites in Baghdad — and parts of southern Iraq.
Private militias are theoretically banned in Iraq, but Sheik al-Sadr's Mahdi Army has cemented its control of the neighborhood so thoroughly that anyone wishing to travel to Sadr City must get permission from the local Sadr offices or risk getting killed.
One 23-year-old Sadr City resident said he uses his identity card to pass through militia checkpoints or enter certain buildings.
The Mahdi Army is feared throughout Baghdad because of its reputation for attacking the U.S. military and those working for the Americans, the young Shi'ite said.
"If I show this badge to a Sunni in Baghdad, he respects me," he said proudly. "The Mahdi Army also kills Ba'ath party leaders who killed a lot of people — but they just kill the leaders."
Even Western security companies, some of whom have clients working in the city, are cooperating with the system.
"In order for these guys to operate in Sadr City, they have to go to the local district office and get permission," said one private security operator, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The ID cards are one more piece of security in a country, where street checkpoints can be run by the Iraqi police one day, imposters the next day and armed militiamen the day after that. There are at least five armed militias in Baghdad.
Before returning sovereignty to the Iraqis last year, the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority issued an order that militias must disband or the political parties they represent would be denied from participating in the political process. Nine political parties signed onto the idea, but it was never enforced.
Now some political leaders are openly merging their militias into the government and civil society structures, including the security forces run by the Ministry of Interior.
"Security forces themselves are not always just responsible to government authorities," said a Western official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
"There is unquestionably killing going on by militias and armed gangs. In places like Basra and Babil and Baghdad, militias have been involved in extrajudicial killings as well as kidnapping."
Sadr City has a police force and administration, but neither interferes with Sheik al-Sadr or his Mahdi Army, the Western security operator said. The system keeps terrorists out, but has created a mini-state beyond the government's control.
Other militias are increasingly visible in other parts of Baghdad, each protecting the interests of its political patron. And there does not appear to be any concerted effort by the government to control them.

Some asthma inhalers 'could stunt growth' in children, study finds

Corticosteroids, commonly found in brown inhalers, could stunt growth in children under two
Two days down and a dozen in the bag. It is as stark as that; finish in the top two and inside the required time and a place at the home Games is the reward. There is no more crushing championships in which to win a bronze – then endure the medal ceremony – than these Olympics trials and the unifying emotion of all the qualifiers, be it Rebecca Adlington, with her two Olympic golds, or 17-year-old Craig Benson, who grabbed his place in the 100m breaststroke by three-hundredths of a second, was simple: relief.
New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, has died in eastern Syria after slipping into the country to report on the uprising against its president.
The impeccably hip credentials of HN's Roberto Carlos Lange (exotic Ecuador to Florida to Brooklyn background; he's an artist doing a "project"; album recorded in the middle of a field in Connecticut, etc) are rather at odds with the wonderfully gloopy Latin-cheese of this Spanish language, old school synth-session's best tracks.
Britain may face EU courts over poor air quality, but tests on new 'sponge-like' materials offer hope
The advance buzz on Stevens' sixth album proper was that the banjo-toter had gone digital.
