...community doesn't feel the same sense of being under siege. President Obama and his election symbolized to us that America no longer wanted it to be "us" versus "them" - it's going to be more inclusive and tolerant. I think right now people are more afraid of a Mexican guy with a cough than an Arab guy. I don't think people love us, but the anger has passed. (Read "Ignoring Arab-Americans...
...research suggests that the WHO acted wisely in raising the pandemic alarm - and that the threat of H1N1 may not have passed. In a study released May 11 in the journal Science, researchers from Imperial College London, along with WHO staff and Mexican scientists, conclude that H1N1 is transmitted considerably easier than the regular seasonal flu and is about as deadly as the 1957 Asian flu, which killed about 2 million people worldwide. A World Bank study last year found that a pandemic of similar severity today might kill 14.2 million people around the world, and cut 2% from...

The report said the Army had the highest count of gang members in its ranks, partly because it is the largest branch and partly because of relatively lax recruitment...
...minute intimate epic on a detailing of the disease. Then things get even more painful as Julia abducts the eight-year-old boy, locks him in her car trunk, ties him up and dopes him. And then she gets a maternal instinct, crashes her car through a U.S.-Mexican border wall and fights off a bunch of tough Latinos - all without taking a drop of her favorite beverage. At times Julia seems to have been made by a sloppy drunk, lurching down new narrative alleys, forgetting where it started, heedless to where it's heading. Indeed, Zonca and Swinton have...
