...Silverman of the Harvard School of Public Health published a study in 2002 that found similarly disturbing results: When a sample of South Asian women in Boston were surveyed, 40 percent of them had experienced physical or sexual abuse in their current relationship, but only 11 percent went to seek outside help for their problems. Studies on this issue have not yet been performed on a larger scale, but the results from Massachusetts, a state with a thriving South Asian community, are indicative of a larger and worrisome reality across the nation’s South Asian households...

Indeed, with some 40 seats won by his followers, al-Sadr has emerged as a potential kingmaker.

With these considerations in mind, it is clear that the Cape Wind project should come to fruition...
...from one discussed in April last year, despite months of delays that involved around 40 high-level meetings between arms negotiators and 14 conversations between President Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. Agreement proved elusive because the treaty is based on the Cold War assumption that each side should seek to balance the destructive potential of its own arsenal precisely against that of the other. That has prompted some arms-control experts to suggest that Obama should focus on making further unilateral cuts to America's nuclear arsenal before seeking further symmetrical reductions. Such a move, they say, would foster...
