Elephants, whose memory is often celebrated, have also been thought by some experts to hold grudges. But "grudge" may be the wrong word - and it's not exactly a scientific term. More tenable than the notion of animals bearing grudges is the theory that they suffer stress. A 2005 paper in the journal Nature examined what some scientists called an "elephant breakdown" in Africa, and argued that elephants that had randomly attacked rhinoceroses were behaving pathologically. They were, the scientists suggested, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder - terminology usually reserved for humans - responding to years of hardship, inflicted by people...
...that they were not turning volunteers away. Instead, a lump sum is provided by U.S. military to local Iraqi leaders that is then divided among all the CLCs. The intent is to encourage Iraqis to keep the number of CLCs down, so that each man's salary does not suffer. Instead, men like Jabouri have divided the money among an ever-growing number of volunteers (resulting in some fighters' receiving just $70 a month), and then lobbying the U.S. military and the Iraqi government for more financial assistance...
...Monday Dec. 17, Nava admitted to writing the e-mail threats - "we are watching you all. we will destroy you... you will suffer," he wrote to himself and three other Anscombe members.

Instead, he ended up coming in third in 2004 behind Kerry and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards. And while Obama could certainly suffer as surprising a defeat as Dean, his supporters believe his operation is very different. Tom Harrington supported Howard Dean in 2004. This go-around he is Obama's co-chairman for Story County. "What's the difference? Organization!" said Harrington with a laugh at an Ames house party last month for a dozen...
This particular trial was for abuse of authority for illegally ordering the search and seizure of the home of his former security chief, Vladimiro Montesinos. On Tuesday evening, he was found guilty and sentenced to six years in prison on the charges, the first Peruvian president in history to suffer such humiliation. In contrast to his earlier belligerence, Fujimori calmly told the court that he would appeal the verdict, a very different response from the arm-failing, red-faced tirade of the previous...
