...MacFarland's goal may indeed be in reach, but forging alliances with tribes to achieve it brings its own risks. For hundreds of years, tribal sheiks in western Iraq have skillfully played politics with powers who've arrived in their region. The campaign the United States is waging now in the sandy expanses of Anbar Province probably looks similar to the struggles waged there in the past by the British and the Turks in the eyes of at least some of the tribesmen who surround Sittar. And the United States may be doing itself more harm than good in long...
...According to Dr. Charles Cain, director of anesthesia at New York Presbyterian Hospital, it's not that hard to reach these danger levels. The average adult should not exceed 4g of acetaminophen a day. If someone is taking two extra-strength tablets of Tylenol, which are 500 mg each, every four hours (instead of the recommended every six hours), and then adds a few doses of a cold medication during the day, then they're easily reaching about 4g-6g of acetaminophen a day.

Although the U.S. views Iranian support for Iraq's Shi'ite parties and militias as destabilizing, it can do little to stop it. And last summer's war between Israel and Hizballah showed the reach of Tehran's influence. Iran supported Hizballah and supplied it with sophisticated weaponry, and not surprisingly basked in the glory of its perceived victory to overshadow the Sunni regimes that had condemned the Shi'ite movement. Iran's shadow continues to loom large over Lebanon as Hizballah tightens its grip...
...increase; it is a business, not an evil empire. Using the low estimation of a student’s annual textbook cost, the COOP already makes six million dollars a year off the College. When the better part of C-CAP’s proposed $200,000 in handouts reach COOP registers, the price increase will be slight—two percent, maybe even five percent—but an increase in its bottom line nonetheless...
