...seems, my sacrifice may have been in vain. According to a study published in the latest issue of the medical journal Lancet, thick high heels may be just about as bad for your legs as ravishing but reedy stilettos. Researchers found that while women who wore stick-thin heels were more likely to develop problems in their feet, including tendinitis and bone deformities, women who pulled on thick heels were more likely than their more fashionable brethren to develop serious and potentially debilitating knee problems...

"Chocolat" actor Alfred Molina appeared in a "Traffic" skit...

Whatever mistakes were made, we need to find out what they were and make sure they don't happen again, make sure those lives were not lost in vain. My last acts as a naval officer will be to ensure there is closure for the families and that the truth is determined...
