- -02-03-05 NIH Workers Angered by Ethics Rules (MSNBC News)
"National Institutes of Health Director Elias A. Zerhouni stood before hundreds of NIH employees yesterday to explain why it had become necessary for him to impose, in his words, 'drastic' restrictions on stock ownership and other forms of outside income, which take effect today for all agency employees."
"The goal, as Zerhouni repeatedly explained, was to save the venerable agency's reputation, which had become badly sullied after 14 months of embarrassing revelations about conflicts of interest among NIH scientists."
"One after another, scientists, doctors and other agency staffers stepped up to the microphones and raged against the new rules, made public Tuesday. By the time it was over, 90 minutes later, nary a positive word had been uttered about the new policy and there was more vented spleen around than a busy medical center like the NIH might normally see in a year."
"Several attendees wanted to know why, if the goal is to restore public trust in the federal scientific enterprise, the rules are to be applied solely to NIH."
" 'Does this apply to the Department of Energy? To the Department of Agriculture? To the Defense Department?' asked Elaine Jaffe, a pathologist who is chief of blood diseases at the National Cancer Institute, to cheers and applause."
" 'If we really want to reassure the public," Emanuel added, 'why don't we apply these to everyone who gets an NIH grant?' "
"Another attendee noted that NIH employees are subject to periodic outside evaluations and reviews by nongovernmental scientists who are not subject to the same ethics restrictions -- a bizarre situation, the employee said, in which people with real conflicts of interest will be sitting in judgment of those with none." 2-05

- -09-25-06 Clinton Reveals Anger After Deceptive ABC Mini-Series About 9/11 (MSNBC News)
"Even Bill Clinton, who never met a camera he failed to charm, couldn't keep his rage out of public view any longer. Ever since ABC television aired its riveting but risibly fictive docudrama 'The Path to 9/11' earlier this month, former Clintonites have been seething. The miniseries had laid much of the blame for the failure to get Osama bin Laden on Clinton and his supposedly wimpy national-security team. The Bush administration, meanwhile, is portrayed mostly positively, seen gearing up to take on bin Laden when 9/11 hits."
"The former president said his anti-bin Laden efforts had far exceeded those of the Bush administration before 9/11."
"For the record, that is mostly true." 09-06

- Safe Schools (Awesome Library)
While the disaster in New York City has been an opportunity to pull together as a nation, and as a world, it also provides an opportunity to fight prejudice that arises from such a crisis. Schools and families can assure children and teens that while the assailants may have come from a single region of the world, children and families of Arabian descent or Muslim heritage in the USA are also in grief over the incident--but could be targets of misplaced anger. Teachers and parents can help to prevent the expression of misplaced anger toward innocent children and families in the USA. 9-01

"Since Rio, U.S. consumption of energy has jumped 21 percent and greenhouse gas emissions are up 13 percent, according to figures gathered by the United Nations and others." 8-02
- Senator Byrd Against War Powers Act for President Bush (BBC News)
" 'This resolution authorizes the president to determine, and authorizes the president to use, military forces as he will, when he will, how he will and wherever he will as long as the threat is tied to Iraq,' Byrd said. 'Suffice it to say that this is a blank check ... given over to the chief executive, not just this one but chief executives who will succeed him....'
'Congress is ceding lock, stock and barrel its power to declare war,' he said.
Byrd, who is widely respected for his deep knowledge of the Senate rules, told his colleagues at a Democratic Party luncheon that he would use those rules to put off a vote, a prospect that angered supporters of the resolution.' " 10-02

"With war perhaps just weeks away, activists such as Boardman have been coming to Iraq, and some say they will stay even if the bombs start to fall and American soldiers fight their way through the streets of Baghdad.

"Their presence angers critics who regard activists like Boardman as propaganda dupes of a totalitarian regime. " 12-02

- Bush Speaks Against Spread of Weapons (USA Today)
"Saying that terror groups wanted to use weapons of mass destruction as 'weapons of first resort,' President Bush called Wednesday for tougher global action against dangerous regimes and terrorist networks that seek those weapons."

"Bush also renewed his call, first made before the U.N. General Assembly last fall, for a new Security Council resolution demanding that all U.N. members enact stricter export controls and criminalize weapons proliferation."
"Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., said the president's intentions seemed long on rhetoric and short on action. She criticized him for not stepping up funding for the program to secure Russia's weapons and for withdrawing the United States from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty."
" 'He has consistently underfunded and even cut the nonproliferation programs that would make the United States safer,' Tauscher said." 2-04

- -05-14-05 Journalist: How the Uzbekistan Rebellion Started (Guardian Unlimited)

"Sharif Shakirov, the brother of one of the accused, told me that straight after the court hearings, officers of the National Security Service, the SNB, started arresting people who had been outside the court."
"The arrests continued through 12 May, and that night people went to try to get their friends and family members out of detention. They started at traffic police offices, and as numbers built up they moved towards a military unit based in the city, where they forced troops on to the defensive and seized Kalashnikovs."
"As the night went on, they went to the regional SNB building, where the newly- arrested people were being held. There was gunfire as SNB officers held off the crowds. Protest leaders said at least 30 people were killed, although there have been no verified casualty figures." 5-05

- -09-19-05 Venezuela vs USA (WorldPress.org)
"As President Hugo Chavez adeptly leverages Venezuela’s oil wealth to forge an array of regional alliances that leave the United States out in the cold, U.S. — Venezuela tensions are heating up. Boosted by the rising prices of oil and the deepening regional anger over U.S. imperial arrogance, Chavez has proved able not only to construct a counter-hegemonic constituency in Venezuela among the country’s poor majority but also to piece together a regional network that is challenging U.S. political and economic dominance. Uncle Sam is becoming the odd man out in the hemisphere claimed as U.S. domain since the early 19 th century." 9-05
- -12-09-05 "Mirror Neurons" Associated with Communication Impairment (Scientific American)
"More than one in 500 children have some form of autism, according to the Centers for Disease Control. All autistic children suffer from an impaired ability to communicate and relate to others, but some of them are able to socially interact to a greater degree than their peers. A recent study of a group of these so-called high functioning autistics suggests the neurological basis for their social impairment."
"Neuroscientist Mirella Dapretto of the University of California Los Angeles and her colleagues surveyed the brains of 10 autistic children and an equal number of nonautistic children as they watched and imitated 80 different faces displaying either anger, fear, happiness, sadness or no emotion."
"The autistic children differed from their peers in only one respect: each showed reduced activity in the pars opercularis of the inferior frontal gyrus--a brain region located near the temple." 12-05.
- -03-04-06 Holland Approves Baby Euthanasia (TimesOnline.co.uk)
"A committee set up to regulate the practice will begin operating in the next few weeks, effectively making Holland, where adult euthanasia is legal, the first country in the world to allow 'baby euthanasia' as well."

" 'If a child is untreatably ill,' Verhagen explained, 'there can be horrendous suffering that makes the last few days or weeks of this child’s life unbearable. Now the question is: are you going to leave the child like that or are you going to prevent that suffering?' " 03-06
- Editorial: Why Conservatives Feel Betrayed (Washington Post)
"The main cause of conservatives' anger with Bush is this: He talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative."
"For years, congressional Republicans have sold themselves to conservatives as the continuation of the Reagan revolution. We were told that they would take on the Washington special interests -- that they would, in essence, tear down K Street and sow the earth with salt to make sure nothing ever grew there again."
"But over time, most of them turned into the sort of unprincipled power brokers they had ousted in 1994. They lost interest in furthering conservative ideas, and they turned their attention to getting their share of the pork." 05-06

- 01-24-07 Senate Committee Passes Nonbinding Measure Against Troop Buildup (CNN News)
"The committee vote, 12-9 along party lines, capped hours of debate in which Republicans and Democrats vented their frustration and anger -- both with the administration and their own past unwillingness to change the course of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops."
Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, the committee's senior Republican, "voted against the [nonbinding] measure, saying, 'It is unclear to me how passing a nonbinding resolution that the president has already said he will ignore will contribute to any improvement or modification of our Iraq policy.' "

- Obama's Grandmother (Time.com)
"Several thousand miles and a world away, Barack Obama is campaigning to change American politics. But in the tiny farmstead where his father used to herd goats, his Kenyan relatives are praying for anything but more political upheaval."
"The Obamas live about an hour's drive — first on potholed asphalt roads then on a rutted dirt track into the village of Kogelo — from the city of Kisumu, the center of opposition support, standing on the shores of Lake Victoria. The population here is Luo, arch-rivals of President Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe. Angry mobs torched shops, bars and garages belonging to Kikuyu businessmen and forced their families to board buses for their tribal homelands in Central Kenya. In spite of the apparent political breakthrough in the capital Nairobi, the anger remains even if the mobs have been called off for now." 03-08
- 08-10-08 What Bush Got Right (Newsweek.com)
"A broad shift in America's approach to the world is justified and overdue. Bush's basic conception of a 'global War on Terror,' to take but the most obvious example, has been poorly thought-through, badly implemented, and has produced many unintended costs that will linger for years if not decades. But blanket criticism of Bush misses an important reality. The administration that became the target of so much passion and anger—from Democrats, Republicans, independents, foreigners, Martians, everyone—is not quite the one in place today. The foreign policies that aroused the greatest anger and opposition were mostly pursued in Bush's first term: the invasion of Iraq, the rejection of treaties, diplomacy and multilateralism. In the past few years, many of these policies have been modified, abandoned or reversed. This has happened without acknowledgment—which is partly what drives critics crazy—and it's often been done surreptitiously." 08-08
- -09-23-08 A Massive Transfer of Power to the Treasury Department (U.S. News)
"Lawmakers closed in on a massive $700 billion rescue deal for the nation's troubled financial sector even as many lawmakers greeted the proposal with anger and skepticism, criticizing both its substance—a "cash for trash" scheme to buy troubled investments is how one put it—and the warp speed at which they're being expected to act."
"In perhaps the most ambitious economic overhaul since the New Deal, the bill would fundamentally redefine the relationship between government and the country's financial sector. Still, Democratic and Republican leaders in both chambers say the huge package could win congressional approval—probably with modifications—as early as week's end." 09-08
- -01-16-09 Surprising Causes of Tuition Hikes (U.S. News)

"Those questions have been frustrating parents and students for years. A new report provides some surprising answers that will, unfortunately, probably only frustrate and anger them even more. At public colleges, tuition has generally been driven up by rising spending on administrators, student support services, and the need to make up for reductions in government subsidies, according to a report issued by the Delta Cost Project, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C." 01-09
