U.S. Combat Troops Leave Iraq
The last combat troops have left Iraq. The brigade's departure came more than seven years after the March 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein's regime. The most recent Pentagon figures showed 4,415 US soldiers have died in the conflict. This will leave 56,000 advisory troups in the country.

From a small town in northeast Florida: We had one known swine flu case in our daycare; we had sent the kid home with 103 fever and the mom called to say that he had been identified with swine flu.
He was out a week. It somehow skipped his twin sister.
We’re using a lot of hand sanitizer.
Thanks for your update Cil, I was wondering how it was going in your daycare. I must admit that has me worried. Right now daughter is still out on maternity leave and took Cora out of daycare while she is home with the baby. But they both go back in Nov., and flu season will be in full swing. Cora of course will get the H1N1 vaccine when it’s available, but there is no protection for the infants.
You come up with the most useful information. What would I do without you?
Bookmarked! (BTW, Laurie and I have been fairly lucky so far although Laurie attempted to do too much each day for the last 3 weeks and spent a few days home for for her trouble, half the time in bed. Never follows her own advice that one).
Kirk M´s last blog ..Twas the night before the referendum
That is so interesting that tomorrow is the official start date of flu season. I read that the geniuses at Google know when the flu is on the rise because of the massive amount of searches conducted through their engine (just some trivia).
The upside to all this is, that hand washing is on the rise.
Keli´s last blog ..Stupidity and Clients
I’m in one of the “widespread” states. And it’s true! It has ripped through the local schools. We are not allowing kids under 18 to set foot in the hospital. And even the good guys wearing masks.
