| BREAKING: Virginia Beach-based Navy Seal Dies From Parachute Training
Another SEAL death occurred last month on 13 February, 2008 during a parachute training exercise near Marana, AZ. "The circumstances of these two incidents appear on the surface to be unrelated but that is why we conduct meticulous investigations," Geisen said.

Idenix Pharmaceuticals Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 ...
As we begin 2008, we are a stronger, leaner organization that will devote all of our resources to the discovery and continued development of antiviral drugs for the treatment of HCV and HIV." Financial Results For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, Idenix reported total revenues of $12.6 million, compared with total revenues of $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 consisted primarily of reimbursement by Novartis of expenses incurred by Idenix in connection with the development of Tyzeka(R)/Sebivo(R), the amortization of up front fees associated with development programs licensed by Novartis, and royalties associated with worldwide sales of Tyzeka/Sebivo. The $2.7 million reduction in total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 is due primarily to lower development expenses associated with licensed programs and subsequent reimbursement of such expenses by Novartis.
From the Editor :
He was eyeing off one of the chicks and asked me whether he should give her his number or email. I suggested email (being overseas and all) so I wonder how lucky he got or whether he actually gave a crap what I thought. And ....good old Shoaib, got to hand it to him, he knows how to pick up the ladies. He was back and forth, chatting up different babes and I must admit, the ladies seemed to be giggling like school girls when he left (probably to chat up a dozen more). .

People Karl Rove
This was written just before the Super Bowl and Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008 Thursday, December 20: Walter C. Uhler: Truth, Lies, Errors and Bullshit About Iraq and Iran (3 comments) The thought provoking book, On Bullshit, by Professor Emeritus Harry G. Frankfurt provides a perspective from which to evaluate bullshit flung by the Bush administration, the neocons and the mainstream media. Saturday, November 10: Cindy Sheehan: A New Direction to Disaster (5 comments) A response to Karl Rove's Wall Street Journal Op-ed and the Dem Congress' Iraq policy; In Karl's diatribe against the failed 110th Congress he makes all kinds of misleading and scurrilous claims about Congress.

Interview with FARC Commander Raul Reyes
But they persist and join the guerrillas, they flee from their houses and appear at our guard posts. It so happens that they join the FARC voluntarily. But many times when they leave they lie to their fathers and mothers and say that they were forced to join and the fathers and mothers believe them. And later, if the authorities conduct an investigation, the parents say that their son or daughter was forced to join and then that information is collected by Amnesty International or others. But I reiterate, it is not the policy of the FARC to recruit children or to enlist anybody by force.
Q: Why does the FARC use anti-personnel landmines when they cause civilian casualties? Reyes: The FARC uses mines against the public forces. The mine fields are used against the public forces, never against the civilian population, never.
Florida and Michigan back in play in Democratic race
In any way political and social radicalization leads always to the catastrophe for the radical political party itself and for the country if this party takes the power. The European experience helps to understand the actual political situation in the Democratic Party. Some prevision is possible to make just now: the “apocalyptical" battle that we witness will destroy both adversaries and also the Democratic Party as a punishment for its total inability to see the reality of its own Country and of the World. .
