President Obama’s remarks concerning Syria on August 30th were troubling on three counts that received scant attention. First, he based his legitimacy on so-called international norms instead of invoking natural law. The Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons violates God’s natural law and natural rights.

Third, and most hypocritical, is the focus on the type of weapons used instead of the actual deaths. Obama stated, “What we will do is consider options that meet the narrow concern around chemical weapons, understanding that there is not going to be a solely military solution to the underlying conflict and tragedy that’s taking place in Syria.” This is a playing a statistical game about death in international relations. We are now engaged in weighing the quantification of death and the style of death. This is tragic, immoral and disturbed. It is, like much with this administration, a victory for tortured jargon and technocracy over substance and morality.

Of the 28 million risky loans, 74% were on the books of government agencies, principally Fannie and Freddie.

It bears saying, though. If you don't have to think about which child gets your last piece of bread until payday or how to get medicine, you do have more room to think of how to make more money or get more education. Since some seem to think all poor people are just lazy slobs who want handouts, I think this is important. Perhaps they are too worried about survival to think about how to best evade taxes or how to get that college degree. Perhaps bad things happened to them and they lost what they did have...it does explain a lot, whether people want to face it or not.

Around modern fishing vessels the same scavenging appetite often means that albatross seize the baits and are snagged and dragged under, to be retrieved only hours later when the fishermen recover their longlines. The euphemism applied to this inadvertent death is ‘by-catch’. What it means in reality is that each trawler crew, as it processes the fish, builds up an ancillary heap of drowned seabirds. For the fishermen they are nothing but an inconvenience. Each dead and worthless albatross caught on a hook means one less valuable fish for the hold. In a single fishery for bluefin tuna off the Australian continental shelf, Japanese trawlers were estimated to be losing A$7 million (£4.3 million) annually because of birds.

Sexual activity is often equated with an exercise workload of 2 to 3 METs in the preorgasmic stage and 3 to 4 METs during the orgasmic stage. This is equivalent to walking a treadmill at 3 to 4 miles per hour. This amount of energy expenditure has also been compared to climbing 2 flights of stairs at a brisk pace, although this may not be a useful indicator in those who are older or less physically fit or who have significant CVD. For those with HF, the 6-minute walk test can easily be administered in the clinical setting to assess stability and ability for exertion. HF patients who are not able to manage the 6-minute walk test, or expend â3 to 5 METs, may not be able to handle the exertion required for sexual activity. This should be discussed with the patient and partner.â
