	Bomb kills 14 Marines as insurgents step up tactics - The Boston Globe
		Yesterday's bombing, which also claimed the life of an Iraqi interpreter, was the latest display of the more sophisticated insurgent weapons and deadlier tactics that US commanders have warned about for months, top military officials said.
		The Marines were driving on a road early yesterday when their armored vehicle was struck by a massive bomb, powerful enough to blow apart the amphibious assault vehicle, which weighs more than 25 tons.
		The carrier, capable of carrying 18 combat-ready Marines and designed to plunge into the surf and travel over rough terrain, is not as fortified as a tank, but is nevertheless highly protected with thick armor plates.

		The SDB is a penetrating bomb with a weight in the 90 to 112 kilogram (200 to 250 pound) range, and with a length of about two meters (6 feet 6 inches).

		For though Americans know him primarily as the conceptual architect of the New Babylon, a utopian and minutely detailed plan for the city of the future, Constant is a painter, and at the age of 83, he still paints—every day, in fact.
		To mark this publication, the Rotterdam Witte de With center for art organized an exhibition that included drawings, plans and scale models of the New Babylon project.

	Buckcherry: Time Bomb (2001): Reviews
		Time Bomb is loaded with two things that are markedly absent from most of today's hard rock scene: memorable melodies and a loose but swinging rhythmic foundation.
		Time Bomb is one romping anthem after another almost clear through to the end, a "hidden" piano ballad that serves only further cement the band's status as a throwback to the days of overwrought arena rock.
		Although a less consistent effort as a whole, Time Bomb is a lot more fun than its predecessor and suggests capacity for songcraft not evident on the band's debut.

	Benchmarks Iraqi People Targeted
		Judged from this overall pattern, the figure of "only" 21 MFB attacks carried out in December was an anomalously low figure, almost certainly attributable to the relatively restraint that the insurgents exercised during the run up to and immediate aftermath of the Dec. 15 parliamentary elections in Iraq.
		However, it is clear that even before the explosion of civic strife across Iraq last week after the Golden Mosque bombing, the elections and their results had failed to have any impact whatsoever on the number of insurgent attacks against Iraqi civilians.
