GAZA CITY -- The batteries are the size of a button on a man's shirt, small silvery dots that power hearing aids for several hundred Palestinian students taught by the Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children in Gaza City.

Now the batteries, marketed by Radio Shack, are all but used up. The few that are left are losing power, turning voices into unintelligible echoes in the ears of Hala Abu Saif's 20 first-grade students.

The Israeli government is increasingly restricting the import into the Gaza Strip of batteries, anesthesia drugs, antibiotics, tobacco, coffee, gasoline, diesel fuel and other basic items, including chocolate and compressed air to make soft drinks.

This punishing seal has reduced Gaza, a territory of almost 1.5 million people, to beggar status, unable to maintain an effective public health system, administer public schools or preserve the traditional pleasures of everyday life by the sea.

"Essentially, it's the ordinary people, caught up in the conflict, paying the price for this political failure," said John Ging, director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, which serves the majority refugee population. "The humanitarian situation is atrocious, and it is easy to understand why -- 1.2 million Gazans now relying on U.N. food aid, 80,000 people who have lost jobs and the dignity of work. And the list goes on."

it has began already. You don't hear that much about it nowadays but for decades it was much talked about, probably by Jehovah Witnesses. The last thing that will overtake humanity is complete hunger. And hardly a day goes by that we don't read something about the depletion of food sources:

Or on the contrary leave it for the very end, after all it is not like when Israel went into Iraq in the 1980's...This one seems to be a legitimate plant, but what about the thousands of centrifuges that supposedly are all around the country?

I believe the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki should be Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2007 because he has help to bring Iraqis together during uncertain times for Iraq and he has help make Iraq a democracy where all Iraqis could have a say in goverment.

Do you think this is a step in the right direction?
Or was it because the case was so publicised?
I hope it is the former.

Isn't it just too odd that Droopy has given his 28 year old son Steve, a police officer, $250,000? Isn't it just a wee bit too odd since Steve is Kathleen's child this money is probably from the insurance policy that should have gone to Steve in the first place?

And why has Cassandra, Stacey's sister, hired an attorney? He's not even a local, he is flying in to Chicago to meet with her.
and this:
Cassandra M. Cales, 21, 218 S. Park, Westmont. Aggravated fleeing a police officer exceeding 21 mph over limit: guilty; 4 days imprisonment, court costs/fines, $250. Resisting or obstructing a police officer: case dropped. Battery-make physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature: guilty; 4 days imprisonment, court costs/fines, $190. Speeding 40 mph or more over the limit: case dropped. Disobeyed traffic control signal: case dropped. Improper lane usage-change lanes unsafely: case dropped.
