Calculating the Risks in Pakistan

A small group of U.S. military experts and intelligence officials convened in Washington for a classified war game last year, exploring strategies for securing Pakistan's nuclear arsenal if the country's political institutions and military safeguards began to fall apart.

The secret exercise — conducted without official sponsorship from any government agency, apparently due to the sensitivity of its subject — was one of several such games the U.S. government has conducted in recent years examining various options and scenarios for Pakistan's nuclear weapons: How many troops might be required for a military intervention in Pakistan? Could Pakistani nuclear bunkers be isolated by saturating the surrounding areas with tens of thousands of high-powered mines, dropped from the air and packed with anti-tank and anti-personnel munitions? Or might such a move only worsen the security of Pakistan's arsenal?

“Cars torched over ‘calm’ French New Year”
Tue Jan 1, 2008 6:51am EST

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PARIS (Reuters) - Vandals torched 372 cars as France celebrated the New Year, down on the figure last year after a night the police described as “relatively calm.”

Cars are burned fairly regularly in France and the image of vehicles in flames in poor suburbs became symbolic of riots in 2005 when angry youths set fire to thousands of cars.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “At the height of the 2005 riots as many as 1,400 cars were attacked in overnight violence. In protests over President Nicolas Sarkozy election last May, demonstrators set fire to 730 vehicles.”

Thank you everyone for your prayer for my pastors son Nate
and Dusty Feet. Nate and some others got home today.

They hid others in the orphanage and church as they were
leaving. He said hopefully we saved some lives.

Tuberculosis spreading in Pueblo

Another active case of tuberculosis has been identified in Pueblo, bringing to three the number of active cases that have been diagnosed. Meanwhile, the Pueblo City-County Health Department continues to test people who may have been infected by the sick individuals.

Not all Sterlite employees tested for TB

Co-workers of the Sterlite, Corp. employee that tested positive for tuberculosis last month are being tested for the disease, but only those on her shift.

Chris Tapia, office specialist with the Mohave County Department of Public Health, said there is a testing hierarchy involving tuberculosis cases.

Happy New Year! Brrrrrr from here and wishing for 90 degree warmth to hurry back.

Jill St.Clair website

Jill's website is no longer available effective today, and I, for one, will miss her and hope she continues to post news and/or links of importance here at TM. I thank her for her excellent job of keeping links and information available to all of us. I will be praying for her and her husband to successfully get through this very rough patch in their lives.
