...sounds, adding another useless track to the rest of the indistinguishable mess. As background music, “Hush” can be tolerable, even more-so when Chikudate stays quiet or knocks down her vocals a couple octaves, but as rock music the album can’t hold one’s attention. Asobi Seksu fails to take a step forward with their music, and perhaps even ends up taking a step backwards. Their last album, “Citrus,” was a fun and exciting listen; “Hush” is anything...
...population. That's still a potent tactic. On Feb. 9, a female suicide bomber killed 28 people, including 20 soldiers, at a screening point for IDPs. This kind of asymmetrical warfare--the LTTE was the global pioneer in the use of suicide bombers--allowed a few thousand fighters to hold their own for decades against the Sri Lankan army's 50,000 soldiers.

Since his victory, Chávez has already revealed his wish to remain in power until 2049, when, at 95, he would be older than his inspiration, Fidel Castro, is today.

All authorities in Lima told Iraqi museum officials was that the three tablets, more than 2,000 years old and each small enough to hold in the palm of one's hand, were found roughly a year ago in the luggage of an American traveling in the country and seized at the airport. "I'm not involved in the other details," says Dr. Amira Edan, who heads of the museum's efforts to reclaim lost artifacts...
