This claim is made in various places. I found it at OspreyMedia, via Pravda forums. (I know, and I'm not proud to be a member there).
OspreyMedia says this:
I pray this will help you to enlighten folks around you to the brave and courageous young people serving in our military.
And then gives a list of total military deaths from 1980 to 2006. The impression they seem to want people to get is that there were more deaths in peacetime than during the current war, hence the cost of the war isn't so great. (And, indeed, the title of the Pravda thread is "US Military Deaths – Higher During Peace Than War")
But the stats are delivered in a crude and deceptive fashion. First, there is no mention of population sizes. This is mentioned on the Snopes thread. That thread also gives a pdf that may be the source of the data at OspreyMedia. I found a different pdf, compiled by Paul Hutchinson, July 2007 (pdf).
There were more than 2 million soldiers in the US army in 1980. There were only about 1.37 million in 2000 (active duty).
Page 7 of the pdf has a table of death rates as a percent of total population. I can't be bothered with a complete cut-and-paste. I'm only going to to quote the numbers for 1980, 1990 and 2000. There is some variation. If you don't want to believe the trend from what I've selected, then go look at the original.
The fatal accident rate goes down:
1980 —- 0.072%
1990 —- 0.039%
2000 —- 0.026%
The homicide rate goes down:
1980 —- 0.008%
1990 —- 0.003%
2000 —- 0.002%
The death from illness rate goes down:
1980 —- 0.019%
1990 —- 0.012%
2000 —- 0.009% (Then up in the following years)
So, building on his predecessors' improvement in health and safety, Bush has added a death from hostile action element. This effect can be seen quite clearly in the graphs in the pdf.
OspreyMedia goes on to say:
You may initially feel confused when you look at these figures – especially when you see that in 1980, during the term of President Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities. What this clearly indicates is that our media and our liberal politicians pick and choose and tend to present only those facts that support their agenda driven reporting.
They choose not to print misleading stats.

World's most expensive home? Another bauble for a Saudi prince
Google celebrates its 19th birthday with 19 famous doodle games
Mohammed Ali Jinnah's daughter Dina Wadia passes away at 98 in New York
MBS' big gamble
Who is Prince Mohammed bin Salman and why is he at the centre of Saudi purge?
Search engine Google on Sunday dedicated its doodle to the legendary Bollywood singer Mohammed Rafi on his 93rd birth anniversary.
The doodle shows Rafi recording in a studio, while actors are lip syncing onscreen.
Born on December 24, 1924, Rafi took the Indian music industry by storm with his entry as a playback singer in 1941 and never looked back till his sudden death in 1980 at the age of 55.
His songs like "Yeh duniya yeh mehfil", "Chura liya hai tumne", "Tum jo mil gaye ho" and "Kya hua tera wada" are still famous amongst today's young generation.
Rafi left behind a treasure trove of immortal songs -- solos as well as duets with popular singers of his era. He sang qawwalis, ghazals, disco and pop in Hindi and various other Indian languages.
He died on July 31, 1980 due to heart attack.

I was lucky enough this year to visit Phuket, Thailand with my aunt and uncle. It was love at first sight for me. I fell in love with every aspect of Phuket... the laidback feeling of the beaches, snorkelling between a rainbow of sea life, intense sense of culture, the colourful and vibrant architecture of temples like Wat Chalong and of course the food! After my trip dreamt about backpacking through Southeast Asia because I could never get enough of this feeling of adventure that Phuket brought forward! #busabout #takemetoAsia

Twitchfilm.com Interview
During the opening hours of TIFF 2010, I sat down for an interview with Twitchfilm.com's Michael Guillen to discuss the City to City program, the role of personal taste in film festival curation, the emerging scholarly field of urban-cinema studies and some of what makes TIFF such a unique festival. Michael posted our interview on Twitch and on his own blog, The Evening Class, and he made me sound pretty dang coherent. (Also, just by looking at the other features on the website surrounding my interview, you can see how widely Twitch writers cover cinema and media culture: everything from film fests to one of the funniest ad campaigns ever. Have a browse.)
Thanks Michael!

TIFF's City to City 2010 focus: Istanbul
So, the blog entry I started right when we announced this year's TIFF City to City focus (way back in August) was never finished: strangely, TIFF kept me too busy.
While the post was supposed to be the big reveal on the focus city - Istanbul - this will instead be a look back at the programme that was, and a brief one at that.
You can read the text Cameron and I authored about our selection online here.
This page has links to all of the films we programmed - 18 in all.
Here is a link to an article reviewing the programme posted at CBC Arts Online, with arts reporter Jessica Wong, and here I am talking up CTC with Toronto Star reporter Ashante Infantry.
I may try to add to this post over time, but for now I just wanted to get the links up for the read-ables that are already out there.

Urbanism + Typography: The Fun Side of City Branding
I'm a tad besotted with the CitID project, which has received some recent coverage via the New Yorker and Fast Company, among other sites. An initiative of design firm Norwegian Ink, CitID invites designers to create logos for their cities that are superior to your run-of-the-mill, dry, tidy and often completely uninventive tourism efforts. (Torontonians may recall the hub-bub around the uncanny similarities between the Toronto Unlimited campaign and the Bahamas tourism design.)
Not everything submitted to the site will make your socks go up and down, but when designers get it right, the results are lovely. On the one hand, CitID represents a sound argument for more user-generated logo creation, an opportunity that too many organizations and companies deny themselves. On the other, it offers a breath of fresh air to those of us who spend too much time amid theory about how corporate branding is turning our urban surrounds into soulless, interchangeable yawnscapes. Maybe we only need to look out the window to learn that, actually.
In any event, as of today, there is still ZERO representation of any Canadian cities, so Canuck graphic designers, you know what you have to do. Toronto, Montreal, Sudbury, Halifax, Vancouver, Regina... none of these places is going to logo-ize themselves... at least not well.

And Another Overdue Mention...
Last spring, I co-edited an anthology on the cinematic representation of my hometown (and current home) with the inimitable Steve Gravestock, TIFF's Associate Director of Canadian Programming.
Toronto on Film was published by TIFF and distributed by Wilfrid Laurier University Press (by Indiana University Press outside of Canada). Click here for a link to the WLUP site.
You can read a review of the anthology in the Spring 2010 volume of Cineaste.
It was my first scholarly editing stab, both trial by fire and incredibly rewarding. The collection features essays by critic Geoff Pevere and scholars including Brenda Longfellow, Wyndham Wise and Justin D. Edwards, as well as contributions by TIFF's in-house experts Steve Gravestock, Piers Handling and Matthew Hays, tracing the evolution of the industry here, the eventual obsession with/necessity for role-playing as other cities (license-plating, as Geoffrey Nowell-Smith once referred to it) and, as of late, it's return to some semblance of... itself.

Overdue Mention...
Back in the summer, a chapter of mine - first ever to be published - finally saw the light of day after a many-year wait and valiant efforts by the editors to see the project to completion. The anthology is called Moving Pictures/Stopping Places: Hotels and Motels on Film, and was published in July of last year by Lexington Books.
My chapter, written concurrently with the formative stages of my dissertation work, is ponderously titled "Just an Anonymous Room: Cinematic Hotels and Motels as Mnemonic Purgatories." (Honestly... what was I thinking?) The approach is reflective of my (then less-developed) fascination with the intersection of space/spatialization and narrative in filmmaking, analyzing such spaces as "paradigmatic zones of transit and homelessness." I look at Leaving Las Vegas, Memento, The Business of Strangers, Tape, Century Hotel, Chelsea Walls, The Tesseract, Dirty Pretty Things and 2046 and deconstruct the functions of the hotel/motel space in support of the narratives' creation of purgatorial spaces.
Mercifully, I think the chapter held up over the years and the anthology overall contains some great, vigorous analytical writing.
The book is available on Amazon and other online sellers, and hopefully at many local and campus libraries.

Luna Warns Teachers Of Retaliation
Teachers are being warned they could lose their certification if they participate in efforts to recall Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna, repeal his new education reforms or engage in other political activities on school grounds. In a memo Friday, Luna said his office had received numerous inquiries and reports of teachers using their school email to coordinate political activities: proselytizing to students in the classroom and using pupils as couriers for political materials/Associated Press. More here.
Question: Is Luna's attempt to intimidate teachers a sign that the recall and referendum efforts are getting under his skin?

The Federal Government Is Gambling With Our Lives
The actions of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are nothing less than gambling with the lives of more than 11 million U.S. citizens.
11 comments:
- Jake said...
I think that it is unfortunate that the tests are not going to be performed on the casks. The government needs to figure out a way to find the necessary funds to perform those tests. It is too much of a risk for the casks not to be tested. Utah and Nevada have seen first hand the affects of previous nuclear testing, and something needs to be done to avoid a similar problem.
- Max said...
The spending bill that was just approved by congress contained $27.8 million to cover a shortfall in compensation for downwinders. It seems to me it would be more economical to find the funds to test the casks, than to be exposed to the possibility of another downwinder incident.
- Kova said...
I think compensation for the downwinders is very necessary. My grandmother developed breast cancer as a result of the nuclear testing that was done and the money that she received was very needed. Many people experienced horrible things because of the testing and they deserve compensation.
- pramahaphil said...
What happens when the government approves the budget for the tests and the same nuclear waste has to pass through the same states, this time with a much larger price tag with all the added testing costs? I'm all for safety, especially when it comes to nuclear waste, but is it a bit much to say that they are gambling with lives when really it's just all about money??
- Student 01 said...
Every time you leave your house/apartment you are gambling. When you leave your front door and out into the big and hateful, scary, evil world you take your life into your own hands. Only paranoid people worry so obsessively about such things. The likely hood of you being hurt by one of these casks is probably less likely then you being hit by the presidential limo in Cedar City.
Both the article and the blog make it sound as if there has never been any testing on these casks, there has been some testing and they have been found to be safe to a point or the would have never considered using them.
- Bruce Banner said...
When comes to testing, it is all about money and who will profit from it. Saftey should be very important for the well being for the people and if the safety provision fails then the people should be will compensated for the mistakes.
- John West said...
I don't like the idea of all that waste coming along the I15 corridor in Southern Utah, but I realize that it has to be placed somewhere and from what I have heard and read Yucca mountain is a very good spot for the waste to be kept. Its remoteness and geological make-up are part of what is what makes it a good choice. Harry Reid ,senator from Nevada, has been trying in vain to get it [Yucca] removed from consideration for the waste, but I don't see it going anywhere but in the West and this is I guess as good as spot as any.
- Joe said...
Sounds to me like most of these people beleive that there are sufficiant testing being done. Adding more test would just increase cost, that is unneeded. I am not sure exactly what is being done but using more money to do things that are not needed is a waist of tax payers dollars.
- miles said...
I think that safety is important. The government is not only gambling with the probability to put our lives in danger but also gambling with a chance of lawsuits. Like the downwiders case, the government is gambling with the chance of the outcome if the casks are faulty.
- Dr. Tufte said...
-1 for four spelling mistakes in Joe's post.
There are two issues here: risk analysis and public choice.
The containers will never be 100% safe - nothing is. But I don't even want an evaluation of how risky they are. What I'd like is a list that details lives saved per dollars spent. If testing the containers is down somewhere near dying from anaphylactic shock from bee stings, then I'm probably OK with it. My guess is that it probably is: personal automobile travel is the biggest source of unalleviated risk in our society.
As to public choice, this says that small vocal minorities can have political power out of proportion to their voting presences; this coming at the expense of large silent majorities. The reason is that the costs (benefits) are focused on the minority, while the benefits (costs) are diffused over the majority. I wonder in this case if we're not hearing enough from the vast majority of American people that want this problem dealt with and finished.
Perhaps an alternative approach for the government is to post a performance bond - an explicit monetary statement of how much they will fork over to people in this area from Fort Knox if they screw this up.

Many recalls end up undone
Owners sometimes take lax attitude to fixing known problems.
By Jerry Hirsch
Los Angeles Times Posted Jan. 3, 2015 @ 2:00 am
Los Angeles Times Posted Jan. 3, 2015 @ 2:00 am
LOS ANGELES – Each day, attorney Terry Harris sets out in his trusty 2002 Honda Civic, which has 150,000 miles – and has been recalled for a variety of defects considered dangerous by safety regulators.
Two are for air bags that can explode, sending shrapnel into the cabin. Another aims to fix a wiring problem that could make the headlights shut off suddenly.
"I think probability works in my favor. I don't feel that it is urgent," Harris said. "If I ever take the car into the dealership, I will get it fixed. But it is not at the top of my things-to-do list."
Automakers recalled about 60 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2014, almost double the previous record set a decade ago.
But as many as 35 million of these vehicles have not been repaired, according to some estimates – even though many have defects that have been linked to multiple fatalities.
"Any vehicle that is unrepaired is a risk," said David Friedman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's deputy administrator.
GM has repaired a little more than 60 percent of almost 2 million older cars equipped with a defective ignition switch linked to at least 42 deaths. But that leaves about 700,000 unrepaired cars on U.S. roads. At any minute, the ignition switch can shift off, causing the driver to lose control.
It's not the only potentially deadly problem. About 14 million vehicles from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Ford, Chrysler and other brands were recalled in 2014 because they have defective Takata air bag inflators. In a crash, the air bags can fail to deploy correctly and will shoot metal fragments inside the car.
The problem is connected to at least five deaths, according to the Center for Auto Safety. Less than 10 percent have been fixed, said Clarence Ditlow, the center's executive director.
Automakers have repaired only about 40 percent of all vehicles recalled in the U.S. in 2014, leaving more than 35 million vehicles with uncorrected defects, he said.
"There's no doubt someone else is going to die," Ditlow said.
Some vehicles don't get fixed because people decide their car is running well, and they don't want to take the time, Friedman said. Others never learn of the recall.
"How do you target people who don't have English as their primary language, who are not on Facebook or Twitter?" Friedman asked. "We have to start thinking about marketing recalls in the same way automakers sell new cars."
That's what GM is trying to do. The automaker is dealing with one of the biggest recall scandals in automotive history – and being investigated by the Department of Justice, Congress and NHTSA for not recalling the cars with the ignition switch problem much earlier.
Judging from the $1.2 billion federal fine Toyota paid out in 2014 – after admitting that it misled regulators and consumers about recalls – GM is likely to pay a similarly high penalty. Already, it has set up a compensation fund expected to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to those injured in crashes or to survivors of those killed.
"We have used every possible communications channel to try to motivate people to bring their vehicles in," said Ryndee Carney, a GM spokeswoman.
First there were traditional methods: direct mail, telephone calls and asking dealers to reach out to their customers. There's also been pervasive news coverage, including congressional hearings and NHTSA announcements.
The automaker also tapped "big data" to reach people. It shared owner names and car registration data for unrepaired vehicles with Tustin data marketing firm Acxiom. Acxiom then used the information to post messages on how to get the car repaired on the individual's Facebook page or while they were playing online games such as Candy Crush Saga or Words with Friends, Carney said.
These efforts helped GM get 60 percent of the cars repaired in about nine months, one of the best rates among large recalls in such a time period, Friedman said.
All automakers should adopt GM's approach, Friedman said.
Other strategies could get cars repaired more quickly, Ditlow said.
State departments of motor vehicles should have a digital tie-in to the NHTSA's federal database, notifying state officials if a car being registered has an outstanding recall repair, Ditlow said. They then could force the owner to repair the car being registering, he said.
Additionally, insurance companies might look up a vehicle's recall history when someone purchases or renews coverage, then ask owners to make repairs. Ditlow said. Requiring used-car dealers to make sure any recall work is completed before selling a vehicle would also take defective cars off the road, he said.
"Every little thing helps," Ditlow said.

A: Yes, very much. I also had an air rifle in Lhasa. And I have one in India. I often feed small birds, but when they come together, hawks spot them and catch them — a very bad thing. So in order to protect these small birds, I keep the air rifle.
Q: So it is a Buddhist rifle?
A: [ Laughs ] A compassionate rifle!
. . .
I also believe that the mouth is a gun, using air to throw words out, to say something. So that's a second meaning to Airgun Diaries:)

The Philippines was shaken when a certain love team took it by storm. Remember the love team that sold out arenas? That one love team that started on a split screen and had people hooked even though a majority of their story happened without them actually seeing each other? Not long after, Alden Richards and Yaya Dub or Maine Mendoza became the biggest names in our local entertainment industry.
Maine Mendoza was a new name in the business but what some immediately noticed was that she was a new beauty. And there are a few male celebrities who aren't afraid to admit their admiration for her.
Kimpoy Feliciano - Kimpoy is a social media influencer that started on Twitter. He is now a performer and recording artist. In one of his tweets, Kimpoy said that Yaya Dub is really beautiful. Plus he also added a cryptic message that his fans believe is for Maine.
Peter Torres - The NU Bulldogs Men's Volleyball superstar is a fan of Maine Mendoza. He even asked his professor permission to "go out" but he actually just watched Eat Bulaga and AlDub.
Kristoffer Martin - The Kapuso actor expressed his giddiness after realizing that Yaya Dub was following him on Twitter. Kristoffer even expressed following whichever barangay Maine was visiting.
Julian Trono - Julian is a dancer and actor currently paired with Ella Cruz. But when AlDub was at its peak, Julian tweeted about getting Yaya Dub if Alden was too slow. He was friends with Lola so he may possibly get a chance with Yaya Dub. He even tweeted Maine saying that he has a crush on her!
and Alden Richards! Yaya Dub's on-screen and hopefully true to life romance apologized to those who admired Maine. Alden said "sorry" because he said that Yaya Dub is only his, at the same time pointing at his heart.
What can you say about these celebrities' crush on Yaya Dub? Who do you think will win Maine's heart in the end? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

I have always wanted to watch hot air balloons going up. They have a balloon festival here in the next county over every year, but we have never gone. This year, they had multiple launch sites with evening launch times. The fairgrounds are just over the river from us, about 15 or 20 minutes away. They were scheduled to have 3 balloons go off on Friday evening. So we went over to watch. It was pretty cool watching them unpack the balloons and baskets, then filling them up. It was breathtaking watching them float into the air. So worth the trip.
I found that some of the photos I took at the launch would make a perfect layout with this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch. The sketch is for a 2 page layout, and I was so excited about that.
For the large photo on the left side of the layout, I created a collage of 8 photos of one of the balloons inflating.
I used Echo Park's Sweet Summertime collection for this layout. So cool that it had a balloon die cut and the colors were perfect. This is the right side of the layout.
And both pages together.
Thanks for looking.

Still no costume for your Halloween party? Well, I got you in this. You don't want to be another divorced zombie, a thirsty vampire or another hopeless mermaid out of the sea, right? In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you transform you face into a new halloween chic with the help of makeup!
Step 1.
Put a lot of foundation on your face. Pick the lightest color you have. (Now's the time to have that "Happy Foundation Day!" face). Seal it with a lot of white powder. Your everyday baby powder is great.
Step 2.
Put a Luminizer around your eyes, forehead, and cheeks. I'm using Forever 21 Luminizer. It will make your face whiter and brighter.
Step 3.
Blend your pink/orange blush on with platinum pink eye shadow and apply it above the crease of your eyes. After that, put a generous amount of black eye shadow on your lids.
Step 4.
Next, draw the eye lashes on your upper lids and on your eye bags. You may want to draw a thin guide so it'll be neat. You can do this with a pencil eyeliner or a liquid eyeliner for more definition.
Step 5.
Put foundation and and a nude eye shadow on your lips. Just don't eat 'em! To make the doll lips, put an X on your lips following your cupid's bow. To make it simple, make a heart shape on your upper lip and lower lip (Start with peach, your barbie/Minaj pink lipstick then top it all with little bit of blood red.). Line its outer part with black eyeliner to give emphasis to its shape.
Step 6.
To make the stitch on both sides of your mouth, draw a thin line with your red lipstick and with a gel liner or a liquid liner, draw stitch marks on top of the "wound". I used Maybelline Gel Liner
Here it is!
You can still rock your Post Halloween Party! Try it now to shake those traditional costumes off.

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." – F. Scott Fitzgerald
It is not exactly crisp yet as I write this on an early October Sunday that topped out at 85 degrees earlier today. Portland managed to pull out one of its most spectacular summers in years and I think maybe the city and I are sharing some feelings right now. Namely, really really not wanting to let go of the sun and the warmth and all the goodness that was Summer 2014.
And yet… Forward is the only way to go.
After some post-Missoula Marathon lethargy that stretched across weeks and weeks of no running, Hood to Coast kicked my ass sufficiently enough that I realized my running fitness had suffered. Big time. I'm not sure how I thought I could essentially take six weeks off and not lose it, but consider me hugely humbled as I've gotten back at it over the last several weeks. The speed I had built over the first six months of this year is all but gone, but I'm confident I can get it back. I was discouraged for a while, but I've been here before and I know what to do. It's so simple it's stupid. Run. That's all I have to do. I just have to run. And run. And run.
Nine weeks from tonight, I will be in the place I have found myself on a Sunday evening in early December for the last two years. A nondescript spot in a fairly forgettable city that nonetheless is one of my favorite places. A hotel room in Sacramento following my third California International Marathon that morning. After the rain in 2012 and the cold in 2013, I am going back a third time to see if I can FINALLY get the moderate temperatures and fairly perfect marathon conditions that CIM is usually known for.
But before my ninth marathon, nine weeks from now, I've stacked the fall with a whole mess of miles. Five races (including CIM) before the season is over.
Last Sunday I ran the Bellingham Bay Half Marathon with some Robinsons (cousin Sara and Uncle Greg) and in pulling out a hugely surprising sub-2 hour finish, made myself believe that perhaps I can get back some of the speed I lost this summer after all. There was a time, following my crazy, flash in the pan PR in Newport in May (1:44 wha?!!) when I thought I could run the half in Bellingham and possibly PR it. While not without some hills, it's another gorgeous sea level course that I could maybe do some damage on if I was ready for it.
So, that thing about how I usually only run relays with strangers? Well, I'm turning that six year tradition on its head next weekend and going home to Bend to run the inaugural Bend Beer Chase relay with some of my favorites. That this is actually happening is still sort of astounding to me. Running is not something this group usually does together.
Usually we do things like play bingo in senior centers. Really.
However, Molly and Erika conquered their first half marathons in Missoula this summer and we all love beer and Bend, so the 70 miles we're set to tackle next Saturday are maybe – of all the miles I will run in the next nine weeks – the ones I'm most excited about. Plus, beer.
After that, I'll run another half marathon – this one definitely not at sea level – when I head to Denver the weekend after the relay in Bend. The running is mostly like whatever who cares though because everyone knows the real reason I go to Denver.
And then, maybe the dumbest thing I'm set to do this fall. A trail half. The Silver Falls Trail Half Marathon. A trail run in Oregon in November. I'm looking forward to it because it's supposed to be beautiful and fun, but my goal will have nothing to do with speed and everything to do with staying upright and not falling and not getting injured and not doing anything to jeopardize CIM a mere five weeks later.
So, there's that. The five races that will make up Fall 2014. I'm not quite sure what things will look like on the other side of all those miles, but I do know that it feels so damn good to be back.

Lavaud Street, Akaroa IT HAS BEEN PROVED ON HUNDREDS OF FARMS IN NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA. rnHAT Farmers using the Ridd Milking Machines and Watt" Oil Engines aro obtaining J_ the best results. A well known Canterbury farmer writes us 'that he has been dairy farming for this last seventeen years.but thnt he never had the satisfaction or results with hand milking that be bas experienced these last four years with the famous Ridd j Machines. Any milking or sucking machine will take the milk from a cow if a high VRCUum is applied/provided always that the cow will let down the milk.

It is not like a Paris dress creation that requires changing every season. The Hidd is the most natural milking machine yet invented: Cows milked with the Ridd will keep up their supply of milk quite as long as hand milked cows.

Stacie L. Price, the former PTA president at Johnnycake Elementary School, was given a suspended three-year prison term Monday after being convicted of stealing more than $9,000 from the organization.
Price was also fined $500 and ordered to pay court costs, and must serve three years of unsupervised probation. Prosecutor Michael S. Fuller had asked the judge to send the 39-year-old defendant to jail, saying she had violated a position of trust by writing checks to herself from the PTA's bank account over six months and stopped only "because she got caught."
Before being sentenced in Baltimore County Circuit Court, Price said she had paid restitution of the full amount she took — $9,697 — and described herself as "ashamed and remorseful." She said it was "fear of financial burden" that drove her to commit the thefts. Price, whose 11-year-old daughter attended the Catonsville school, acknowledged that her acts had "hurt a lot of people."

Less than a day after surging to an election victory, the right-wing alliance led by the media magnate Silvio Berlusconi became enmeshed in a power struggle today that threatened its ability to form a strong government.
Some commentators also warned that the strong showing of the neo-Fascist party, one of the partners in Mr. Berlusconi's coalition, could signal a resurgence of extremism and anti-democratic fervor 51 years after the ouster of Mussolini. A Troubling Echo
When the leader of the neo-Fascist National Alliance party, Gianfranco Fini, hailed some 2,000 supporters early today in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, hundreds of youths in the crowd gave straight-arm fascist salutes and chanted "Duce! Duce!" -- the rallying cry for Mussolini.
Official overall election results showed the right-wing coalition with 366 seats in the 630-seat Chamber of Deputies, an absolute majority, leaving its leftist adversaries a poor second with 213 and Italy's formerly all-powerful centrists with only 46. Four seats in the lower house went to representatives of smaller parties and one remained to be assigned.
In the Senate, the right wing fared less well, winning 155 of the 315 seats. Thus the coalition needs to coax at least three representatives of other parties to join its ranks to clinch control. The Senate and the Chamber have equal legislative weight, but most bills originate in the Chamber.Continue reading the main story
The right-wing parties are cemented less by ideology than by their decision to campaign together and by the temptation of shared spoils.
Mr. Berlusconi favors tax cuts and a push to sell off Italy's bloated state-owned industrial sector. The Northern League, led by Umberto Bossi, wants to distance the affluent north from the central Government in Rome. The neo-Fascists, led by Mr. Fini, want a strong central authority and have vaguely pressed a claim to territory in the former Yugoslavia. The Rival Claims
Since the first computer projections emerged Monday night, Mr. Berlusconi has been talking as if the mantle of power should naturally fall to his three-month-old Forza Italia party, the biggest single vote-getter in the coalition, with about 20 percent.
Mr. Fini, whose neo-Fascist party has sought to distance itself from Mussolini's anti-Semitic policies, has said he would support a bid by Mr. Berlusconi for Prime Minister. By tradition the head of the leading party is usually asked by the President to form a government.
But Mr. Bossi, of the Northern League, has said he would not support Mr. Berlusconi as Prime Minister because the tycoon's vast holdings in television, supermarkets, advertising and publishing present a conflict with the national interest.
Today the dispute intensified when the Northern League insisted it should lead the country. "The Italian people expect that the Northern League should be entrusted with the role of governing elite," the party said in a statement.
But some analysts took the league's demand as a bargaining position before negotiations among the rightists on forming a government. Those talks will open after the new Parliament convenes on April 15 to elect its two speakers. Talk of 'Treason'
Mr. Bossi seemed to soften his tone at a news conference tonight in Milan, saying, "I think we will manage to have a government with the parties chosen by the voters." He left open the issue of its composition and leadership.
The Northern League took only 8 percent of the vote. But under Italy's new voting system, based on both direct and proportional balloting, his followers could claim 106 seats in the lower house -- twice its share in the previous Parliament and more than enough to scuttle the right-wing's legislative majority if it chose to do so.
The Northern League's demand for the Prime Minister's job drew no immediate response from Mr. Berlusconi, who had responded to Mr. Bossi's earlier threats to pull out of the alliance by calling him a traitor.
"The parties that campaigned with us must form a government with us," Mr. Berlusconi said. "Anything else would be high treason."
Mr. Fini, the neo-Fascist, said he would never accept a Northern League Prime Minister, reflecting the fundamental differences between the two parties in ideology and personality. 2 Parties Talk, at Least
Mr. Berlusconi and Mr. Fini met in Rome today without Mr. Bossi to begin talks on a coalition government. "We spoke of everything, including Bossi," Mr. Fini said.
It is by no means clear how Mr. Bossi's supporters would react to a withdrawal from the coalition, which would sever them from the center of power. Mr. Berlusconi plans to meet with Mr. Bossi later in the week, a Forza Italia spokesman said.
After two years of soul-searching over Italy's future, some commentators said the post-election jockeying suggested how little Italy's politics had changed.
"Behind the great change, there was to be seen the usual Italian political uncertainty, unstable if not ungovernable, seeking only cease-fires or revenge," said Marcello Sorgi, a columnist for La Stampa of Turin.
The right-wing landslide in the lower house, which is more accustomed to razor-thin centrist majorities, seemed nonetheless to reflect the indignation of many Italians over the corruption that has consumed the governing elite for the past two years. Since 1948, the now-disgraced Christian Democrats and their allies have ruled Italy in 52 successive coalitions.
But the lurch to the right also raised alarms. While the neo-Fascists call themselves post-Fascists and have repudiated Mussolini's racist laws, they trace their lineage to the former dictator. Symbolically, Mussolini's granddaughter, Alessandra Mussolini, a candidate for the neo-Fascist party in Naples, won a seat in Parliament. Enter Right, Neo-Fascists
For years the neo-Fascists have hovered on the fringes of Italian politics, securing a steady 5 or 6 percent of the vote but no significant representation.
But now, with the neo-Fascists claiming 105 seats in the lower house, almost three times its previous share, "it will no longer be like this," said Eugenio Scalfari, editor-in-chief of La Repubblica, which opposed the right-wing alliance.
The neo-Fascist party "has become part of the political circuit and its adversaries and allies must take this into consideration," he said. The demonstration Monday night in Piazza del Popolo, he added, "made a deep impression, with its Fascist salutes and the singing of hymns from a time that we hoped had been buried forever." The Other Also-Rans
An unofficial breakdown from the right-wing parties indicated that Forza Italia had won 155 seats in the lower house, the Northern League 106 and the neo-Fascists 105.
But a final breakdown is not expected until Wednesday, in part because the system of alliances used made it more complicated to divide the spoils.
It was not only the centrist parties that were snubbed by voters looking for new faces, new promises and a new start.
Achille Occhetto, leader of the Democratic Party of the Left, the former Communists, emerged with his leadership in question after a lackluster campaign that drew unfavorable comparisons with Mr. Berlusconi's polished use of television. "Occhetto challenged Berlusconi, he lost, and in the new system, it's difficult for the loser to return to the fray," Mr. Sorgi wrote in La Stampa.
There was a reminder today of what had inspired Italians to jettison their postwar leaders: in a Milan court, a former Prime Minister, Bettino Craxi, went on trial on charges of official corruption. His decimated Socialist Party failed to draw the 4 percent of the votes needed to win parliamentary representation. Thus, after years at the center of power, the Socialists seem doomed to oblivion.
Mr. Craxi did not attend the proceedings, in which his lawyers argued that the trial should be moved away from Milan because he faced a "campaign of hate and aggression" in the city that once formed his political power base.
Judge Paolo Enrico Carfi rejected the request, saying, "There is no real danger to Craxi."Continue reading the main story

Domestic Contracts
Domestic contracts are an important consideration for anyone in a family business or from a high net worth family that is planning on getting married or entering into a common law relationship. This topic is a very complex and emotional one and needs to be handled with expert advice and counsel.
Domestic contracts can cover a wide range of topics, but typically involve an agreement, made before or during the marriage or cohabitation, that decides what to do with assets, debts, and other marital obligations in the case of marriage or cohabitation breakdown. The two most popular forms of domestic contracts are prenuptial agreements or "prenups", and postnuptial agreements or "postnups".
In many cases, children of high net worth families are beneficiaries of family trusts, and shares of the family business may be transferred to them in the future. In the event of a marriage or cohabitation breakdown, the lack of a domestic contract will in most cases result in considerable adverse financial consequences.
It is a good idea to have a conversation with your children about the need for a potential domestic contract when they are considering marriage or cohabitation. This will allow them to better understand this topic and ensure the issue be brought up with their prospective spouse in the proper manner.
Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a domestic contract entered into prior to the marriage or cohabitation. The intent is that you and your spouse will enter the marriage with a clear understanding of the division of finances should the marriage or cohabitation end. There is a lot of flexibility in making the agreement, subject to some specific limitations. These limitations are that; the agreement must not be unconscionable to the other spouse, the agreement must honestly disclose all relevant information, and the spouse-to-be must have independent legal advice and counsel. If the prenuptial agreement does not violate these conditions, it has a much better chance that it will be upheld by a courts in the future.
Postnuptial Agreement
A postnuptial agreement is a domestic contract entered after the date of marriage or coahabitation. The agreement is meant to settle financial issues that are present during the marriage or cohabitation. This need for this type of agreement may arise when the parents of a grown married child are planning to distribute assets to their children and prior to doing so they request that a domestic contract be entered into by their child and his/her spouse. As can be imagined, trying to implement a postnuptial agreement could result in some very difficult discussions between a married or common law couple.

Bloodless Cardiac Surgery is a Team Sport
Since starting a multi-disciplinary blood management program, transfusions have been substantially reduced at The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
"Ninety percent of our patients weighing more than 25 kilos have surgery without receiving blood," says Vincent Olshove, CCP, Chief Perfusionist at The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
He lists blood management strategies employed by the Nationwide Children's Hospital perfusion team after six years of developing procedures and protocols:
- Move oxygenator and heart-lung machine close to the sterile field and work with surgeons to cut down tubing lines
- Use intraoperative acute normovolaemic hemodilution (ANH): draw 10-20 cc's of blood per kilogram before the surgical incision. At the end of the surgery, return the patient's blood — the patient benefits by having his own clotting factors and platelets
- Use retrograde autologous prime (RAP): Displace crystalloid in the circuit with patient's own blood before going on bypass
- Employ aggressive hemofiltration and ultrafiltration to keep hematocrit as high as possible
- Reduce circuit size to 1/8 inch arterial line and 3/16 inch venous line
- Select size of hemoconcentrators, circuit and oxygenators to patient need — not one size fits all
- Use continuous blood gas monitoring to decrease the need to draw blood samples for arterial blood gases
- Use modified ultra filtration (MUF) at the end of procedure: increases red blood cells, oxygen delivery and hematocrit, and reduces exposure to donor blood.
"It's helpful to have so many protocol variables to choose from," says Tom Preston, CCP, Nationwide Children's Hospital. "And while we have an aggressive bloodless approach, we still use blood if it's the right thing to do." He says the situation dictates whether blood products must be given, such as in a neonate's prime circuit or when warming a patient with low hematocrit.
What is Blood Management?
Mr. Olshove, who helped implement the hospital's formal blood management program in 2006, defines blood management:
"Blood management is minimizing blood, or blood product use, and, alternatively, basing transfusions on patient need — not based on the comfort level of the clinician."
Through experience, the Nationwide Children's Hospital perfusion team learned that establishing a blood management program requires a multi-disciplinary approach; the buy-in expands beyond the operating room. Mr. Olshove suggests starting with the surgeons, and then anesthesiologists, and then the intensive care unit team. "It's impossible to achieve results without everyone on board," says Mr. Preston.
An effective blood management program involves all hospital areas that contact the patient. "Every couple of cc's make a difference," Mr. Olshove adds. "We need to change the mind set of everyone. Lab testing and sampling, tends to be the biggest consumer of the patients' blood for kids. Through our blood management program, we get the bedside clinicians and lab involved to help minimize blood draws and find a way to scale back sampling."
Mr. Olshove believes ICU nurses and physicians have been 'protocolized.' "If the hematocrit hits a magic number, they have to give blood. What about symptomology?" he asks. "We should look at the patient, physiologic parameters, and lab values to determine triggers to give blood.
When they see the blood management results, they support the effort rather easily, adds Mr. Olshove. "Bloodless cardiac surgery is a team sport."
