With the Olympics coming to town, "some people are trying to downplay [the Straight Edge threat]," says James Yapias, a correctional and educational consultant.

Among members of the multiethnic study group, diastolic pressure (the bottom number) dropped an average...
...independence, the tiny country will be turned into a "sea of fire." That?s got independence advocates calling for an armed U.N. peacekeeping force to take control of the territory straight after the poll, although the international body is unlikely to send in troops in a situation where one group remains intractably hostile to the will of the majority...
