...lack some necessities. But instead of “aiding” the Palestinians by supplying them with missiles and mortars, Syria, Iran, and other countries in the region could provide them with much-needed food and medicine.

But unfortunately for the long-suffering Palestinian people, this Gazan “government” doesn’t actually seem to be interested in either real peace or economic growth...
...Drug Warfare in Mexico Re TIME's postcard from Culiacán: "Mexico's drug war" is in fact America's war fought in another country [Dec. 29].

"In a vaginal delivery, that baby instigated the labor, and is therefore ready and can be healthy at 37 weeks," says Dr. Catherine Spong, chief of the pregnancy and perinatology branch at NICHD and one of the co-authors of the paper. These results also do not apply...
...hoping that Jobs will appear at a small get-together set to occur in a few weeks in Palo Alto. There, the team who developed the original Macintosh computer will gather to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that seminal desktop computer. Needless to say, Jobs has been invited. But even if he is healthy, it's far from certain that he'll attend. He rarely goes to Apple anniversary parties. To quote one of the invitees: "The old joke about Steve is he only shows up at the parties that he throws...
