...many sufferers including Rumsfeld (and, lest there be jealousy on the other side of the aisle, John Kerry had his cuff done during the last presidential election) the cuff gets into trouble primarily because it doesn't have enough room; it gets rubbed on, abraded, sanded down, weakened and eventually torn by the undersurface of the bone ( the acromion) that you feel when you put your hand on top of your shoulder. This mechanism, called "impingement," is the initial culprit in most cases. It's probably not "the old high school football injury" coming back to plague you in your...
...that still leaves us a little short in the romance department. Shorter, in fact, than we were when the hazy, lazy days began, what with Mel Gibson having revealed something irreducibly ugly in his nature - in vino veritas, lest we forget - and the world having concluded that Tom Cruise is Public Weirdo #1. I don't say that these formerly adored guys can't make a comeback; America's memory loss, both short- and long-term, and especially when it come to celebrity misbehavior, has reached truly epidemic proportions. But the truth is that these actors have long since ceased...
Brain Break: 1. A late-night snack in the dining halls of Houses and in Loker (see Loker Commons). 2. Where to rediscover the brownies you didn’t eat at dinner. 3. Where Adams House sometimes stations its security guard at 10:00 p.m., lest a Quincyite try to grab a bite (see Adams House...
...stony soil for ISAF. As troop levels increase in the south, commanders anticipate attacks elsewhere in the country where their forces are not so numerous and helicopters are in short supply. The camps in Pakistan from which Taliban fighters flow into Afghanistan (though Pakistan denies it) are off-limits lest attacks destabilize President Pervez Musharraf. Within Afghanistan, ISAF's rules of engagement don't permit it to attack the Taliban outright, but do permit "proactive self-defense" - an ambiguity exacerbated by the differing restrictions each national contingent has negotiated to the rules of engagement that reflect its government's willingness...
...year-old United Nations peacekeeping mission known as UNIFIL. France took the lead in co-sponsoring Resolution 1701, but then dispatched only 200 engineers, the first of which came ashore in southern Lebanon in dinghies. France has wanted clearer guidelines on when its troops can use force, lest they be left helpless if the conflict heats up again, though President Jacques Chirac agreed Thursday night to dispatch another 1,600 soldiers to the effort. Complicating matters, the Syrian government, perhaps exploiting Europe's dithering, is rejecting Resolution 1701's call for U.N. troops to police the Syrian-Lebanese border...
