or
"Meetings: None of Us Is As Dumb As All of Us"
or
"Procrastination: Hard Work Pays Off After Time, But Laziness Always Pays Off Now "

Found a great new blog written by an Army Blackhawk pilot in Iraq. His post on 'Ramadan Thus Far' contains the following line I just love about why things are harder for terrorists in the Sunni triangle:

"
"In the past decade, there has been an increased interest in herbal medicines
and treatments, both from the mainstream medical community and the general
public. One need look no further than the cold drink section of the local
supermarket to see the various herbal supplements that are prominently
displayed on many drink labels. In an effort to provide critical evaluations
of these various herbs and related products, the University of Texas at El
Paso has created this important website in order to disseminate information
about research findings related to herbal use and to provide these findings
in both English and Spanish."

New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer rolled out an expanded version of his
drug pricing Web site yesterday, hoping to assist those New Yorkers lacking
health insurance or prescription drug benefits to comparison shop. From Long Island Newsday:
The online reference guide includes the 25 most popular prescription drugs on the market, and, for the first time, has prices from pharmacies in all of the state’s 62 counties.
”With information from this Web site, consumers, especially seniors on fixed incomes, the uninsured and those lacking adequate prescription drug coverage, can comparison shop and keep their costs as low as possible,” Spitzer said in a prepared statement.
Under current New York State law, each pharmacy is required to carry an expanded version of this guide, known as the Drug Retail Price List, which covers nearly 150 prescription drugs, and customers are able to view it at any time.""
