Men In Black
CNN, Aug 4: Clashes between police and insurgents in the northern city of Mosul left 12 Iraqis dead and 26 wounded, hospital and police sources said Wednesday.
Rifle and rocket-propelled grenade fire as well as explosions were heard in the streets of the city.
A first-hand view of events.

Doctors refuse laywers.
So your last client managed to get restitution from that quack who left the clamp in her abdomen, just in time to pay for your daughter's delivery. Good luck finding an OB. Or perhaps your husband works for a law firm. Good luck with that nursing job. Maybe you're a neurosurgeon making less take-home than your insurance premiums. What are you going to say to the next ambulance chaser with migrane trouble? The war between the two solitudes could start racking up a real body-count.

The art of being Canadian is often making do. Same-sex marriage is a national hot-button issue right now. What
rights should homosexual partners have? What does it mean
to the church? There comes a new option in the debate:
civil union, not quite marriage, but more than just shacking-up. Will this be enough to satisfy as many
as possible under the circumstances?
