Wellbutrin and hair loss
EXCERPT:
July 28th 2010
10:50 PM
I threw my budeprion SR 150mg in the trash this morning.
I started losing hair a couple of weeks into taking it (I've been on it since May 2010, a couple of months now.) After having a complete blood work up and hormone testing, my doctor and I just attributed the hair loss to three instances of being sick throwing up and tummy problems since April 2010 (I have four kids and they brought it home from pre-school and passed these 'tummy bugs' all around our family).
It's been about eight weeks since the last episode of being ill and this hair loss is nothing like I've experienced before. It's even worse than hair loss you experience after having a baby or surgery!

Bill Clinton, Ron Burkle and the McDonald's scandal
EXCERPT:
Another business caught up ostensibly in the bigger scandal of which the game prizes are a tiny part, is Yucaipa Companies. Yucaipa owns 70 per cent of Golden State foods, one of McDonald's Hamburgers largest food suppliers. Yucaipa also is an investor in Simon Worldwide, Inc.
An interesting sidelight is how Rev. Jesse Jackson apparently pressured Yucaipa to reward Jesse's mistress, Karin Stanford, by paying her as a purported "consultant", ten thousand dollars per month. {See, Chicago Sun-Times, 1/26/2001.]
Some of the illicit dealings of Simon Marketing have come out in a suit where they and Coca-Cola are named defendants. The suit, pending in Chicago's federal courts also involved a fraud upon the court by Judge Blanche Manning hearing the case. The attorneys for Simon Marketing's liability carrier, referring to themselves as "attorneys for Simon Marketing", had originally stated in Court in the lawsuit, that they did not know of Cyrk. Later, the same lawyers, exposing their false prior statements, said they DID know of Cyrk.

EXCERPT:
First of all, he was the good guy in the relationship.
"When Clinton left the Presidency he had to make money, and there were certain limits on how he could do it," says Burkle. "In that regard, having him work for Yucaipa was the right thing to do. In other ways, it was the dumbest thing I ever did."
Nice guys always finish last! Burkle knows that now.
And the idea that he might be the one who embarrassed Clinton? Well. That's pretty rich.
"If someone wanted to embarrass [Clinton], I got thrown in it, too," says Burkle. "I got all that for free."
By the way, in the end, it was his decision, not Clinton's, to end the relationship.
Why? Because he was bored. "Burkle says he and Clinton don't see much of each other anymore and explains the rupture this way: "Before, every trip with him seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Now I have so many things to do."

DO WE NEED A “BEANIE BABY”* FRAUD
STATUTE?
ELLEN S. PODGOR**
INTRODUCTION
This is not an Essay calling for the protection of “Peanuts,” the
royal blue elephant.1 Nor is this Essay concerned with the confusion
surrounding “Iggy,” the Iguana or “Rainbow,” the Chameleon.2 This
Essay does not even reflect on the ramifications of Ty, Inc.’s decision
to retire Beanie Babies on December 31, 1999,3 followed by its later
decision to continue production.4 Rather, the focus of this Essay is on
whether Congress needs to pass a specific statute to criminalize
Beanie Baby fraud.
* “Beanie Babies” are produced by Ty, Inc.
** Professor of Law, Georgia State University College of Law. Visiting Scholar, Yale
Law School, Fall 1998. B.S., 1973, Syracuse University; J.D., 1976, Indiana University

suggestions and Professor Peter Henning for his comments on a draft of this Essay.
1. Ty, Inc., produced two different “Peanut” Beanie Babies. One is a light blue
elephant that was retired on May 1, 1998, and the other is a royal blue elephant that
was retired on October 2, 1995.
2. “Iggy” and “Rainbow’s” tags were inadvertently reversed in January, 1998. See
LES & SUE FOX, THE BEANIE BABY HANDBOOK 66 (1998).
3. See Paula Lyon & Natalie Evans, Ty to Retire Beanie Babies at Year End, CRAIN’S

all Beanie Babies as of Dec. 31, 1999); see also Claudia H. Deutsch, Ty Puts Beanie
Babies’ Fate Into the Hands of Consumers, N.Y. TIMES, Dec. 25, 1999, at B11 (discussing
Ty, Inc.’s announcement to “let the public vote on whether it should keep producing
new Beanie Babies in the new millennium”).

1032 AMERICAN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW [Vol. 49:1031
In the past, I have argued in favor of specific fraud statutes.5 The
widespread use of generic fraud statutes, such as mail fraud6 and
conspiracy to defraud,7 have allowed prosecutorial discretion to
exceed what historically would have been considered part of the
executive function.8 Prosecutors have attempted to legislate against
new forms of criminality by prosecuting illegal activity under generic
fraud statutes.9 I considered the passage of the computer fraud
statute,10 the health care fraud statute,11 and the bank fraud statute12
to be legislative advancements because these statutes offered specific
legislative definitions of what would constitute criminal conduct.13
But in calling for specific statutes, it is equally important to realize
that enacting a multitude of specific statutes to address every new
instance of fraud is absurd. Although the constant enactment of new
federal statutes may foster political careers by demonstrating a tough
stand on crime,14 adding new volumes to the criminal code for
political purposes serves little benefit in the development of criminal
law.15 The excessive number of federal statutes is well documented
and is detrimental to the development of an efficient legal process.16
Discerning the appropriate line in legislative drafting between the
5. See Ellen S. Podgor, Criminal Fraud, 48 AM. U. L. REV. 729, 735 (1999)

more closely with the initial legislative purpose of the statute.”).

EXCERPT:
Mafia Ties It's well known that John McCain is rich, because of his marriage to Cindy Hensley McCain, who inherited the biggest Budweiser distributorship in Arizona, which earns $300 million a year, from her father Jim.
What's less well known is the source of that money. Jim Hensley and his brother Eugene worked for Kemper Marley, Sr., who had cornered the Arizona liquor market after Prohibition was lifted, and assigned the Budweiser distributorship to Jim Hensley. Phoenix police named (but never charged) Marley as the man who ordered the infamous assassination of Phoenix reporter Don Bolles in 1976. The man convicted of the murder -- John Adamson -- testified that Marley ordered the hit after a Bolles story forced him to resign from the state racing commission. Bolles was investigating mob ties in Arizona -- and had written about Marley's political and business dealings -- until 6 sticks of dynamite exploded under his car, killing him. Marley sued a coalition of reporters -- formed in response to Bolles' assassination -- for libel after they reported his ties to the mob and to Bolle's murder. The jury ruled that Marley was NOT libeled.
Hensley (Cindy McCain's father) and his brother were convicted in 1948 for falsifying records to conceal illegal sales of thousands of cases of liquor at Marley's firm. Five years later, Jim Hensley was tried for falsifying tax records at Marley's firm, but -- defended by William Rehnquist, who was later Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court -- he was acquitted.

Is Clinton for or against Israel?
EXCERPT:
He significantly deepened US involvement in Israel, which led to an increase in Israel’s dependence on America. He bolstered the status of the CIA – in addition to all of its previous activities including providing PLO members with weapons training. And finally, he made promises to Netanyahu and Barak which he ultimately failed to keep.

Most people think that the United Nations is a noble enterprise and they don’t understand the history and malignant character of the UN.
Christina Aguilera, Drew Barrymore and Sean Penn are probably unaware, even though they are UN Ambassadors to the World Food Program (WFP), that the intent of the UN is to implement one world government (see videos below). The UN WFP, which spreads GMOs in poor countries, is just one tool used for advancing the goals of Agenda 21, the overarching blueprint for depopulation and total control.

EXCERPT:
WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.

New elections loom as Queen Beatrix meets Dutch political leaders
Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Balkenende, right, wouldn't say anything after he'd met Queen BeatrixQueen Beatrix of the Netherlands has met with leading politicians to decide whether to accept the government's weekend resignation. The monarch has the power to call early elections or appoint an interim government.
The queen met Monday with outgoing Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, who heads the Christian Democratic Party, and the leaders of the Labor Party and the smaller Christian Union, as well as the presidents of the two chambers of parliament.
Queen Beatrix's decision about whether to accept Balkenende's resignation and appoint an interim government is expected within the next few days.
The government collapsed on Saturday after 16 hours of tough negotiations when the Labor Party refused to back fellow coalition members in supporting the extension of the Dutch military presence in Afghanistan.
A defeat for both parties
“We've experienced this failure both individually and collectively as a defeat. This doesn't change anything about the facts or the conclusions we have reached,” Balkenende said.
The outgoing prime minister said he expected the Netherlands to withdraw its 2,000 soldiers from Afghanistan in August as scheduled, but he also voiced concern about the impact of the withdrawal on his country's international standing.
"The moment the Netherlands says as sole and first country we will no longer have activities at the end of 2010, it will raise questions in other countries and this really pains me," he said.
NATO urges Dutch to reconsider
In an initial reaction to the collapse of the ruling coalition, NATO on Saturday renewed its call for Dutch troops to remain in Afghanistan for an additional 12 months in a reduced capacity.
Earlier this month, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen issued a formal request for the Netherlands to assume a new training role and postpone withdrawing its troops. This new military mission would focus on the provincial reconstruction team in Uruzgan, with greater emphasis on training.
The Netherlands' military mission in Afghanistan began in August 2006, and has already been extended by two years. Twenty-one Dutch soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Male white ego and Japan
Militarism and WW2 (1912 - 1945)
During the era of the weak emperor Taisho (1912-26), the political power shifted from the oligarchic clique (genro) to the parliament and the democratic parties.
In the First World War, Japan joined the Allied powers, but played only a minor role in fighting German colonial forces in East Asia. At the following Paris Peace Conference of 1919, Japan's proposal of amending a "racial equality clause" to the covenant of the League of Nations was rejected by the United States, Britain and Australia. Arrogance and racial discrimination towards the Japanese had plagued Japanese-Western relations since the forced opening of the country in the 1800s, and were again a major factor for the deterioration of relations in the decades preceeding World War 2. In 1924, for example, the US Congress passed the Exclusion Act that prohibited further immigration from Japan.
After WW1, Japan's economical situation worsened. The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the world wide depression of 1929 intensified the crisis.
During the 1930s, the military established almost complete control over the government. Many political enemies were assassinated, and communists persecuted. Indoctrination and censorship in education and media were further intensified. Navy and army officers soon occupied most of the important offices, including the one of the prime minister.
Already earlier, Japan followed the example of Western nations and forced China into unequal economical and political treaties. Furthermore, Japan's influence over Manchuria had been steadily growing since the end of the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-05. When the Chinese Nationalists began to seriously challenge Japan's position in Manchuria in 1931, the Kwantung Army (Japanese armed forces in Manchuria) occupied Manchuria. In the following year, "Manchukuo" was declared an independent state, controlled by the Kwantung Army through a puppet government. In the same year, the Japanese air force bombarded Shanghai in order to protect Japanese residents from anti Japanese movements.
In 1933, Japan withdrew from the League of Nations since she was heavily criticized for her actions in China.
In July 1937, the second Sino-Japanese War broke out. A small incident was soon made into a full scale war by the Kwantung army which acted rather independently from a more moderate government. The Japanese forces succeeded in occupying almost the whole coast of China and committed severe war atrocities on the Chinese population, especially during the fall of the capital Nanking. However, the Chinese government never surrendered completely, and the war continued on a lower scale until 1945.
In 1940, Japan occupied French Indochina (Vietnam) upon agreement with the French Vichy government, and joined the Axis powers Germany and Italy. These actions intensified Japan's conflict with the United States and Great Britain which reacted with an oil boycott. The resulting oil shortage and failures to solve the conflict diplomatically made Japan decide to capture the oil rich Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) and to start a war with the US and Great Britain.
In December 1941, Japan attacked the Allied powers at Pearl Harbour and several other points throughout the Pacific. Japan was able to expand her control over a large territory that expanded to the border of India in the West and New Guinea in the South within the following six months.
The turning point in the Pacific War was the battle of Midway in June 1942. From then on, the Allied forces slowly won back the territories occupied by Japan. In 1944, intensive air raids started over Japan. In spring 1945, US forces invaded Okinawa in one of the war's bloodiest battles.
On July 27, 1945, the Allied powers requested Japan in the Potsdam Declaration to surrender unconditionally, or destruction would continue. However, the military did not consider surrendering under such terms, partially even after US military forces dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, and the Soviet Union entered the war against Japan on August 8.
On August 14, however, Emperor Showa finally decided to surrender unconditionally.
