War like no other: America's wounded return with haunting memories. They come from all walks of life. Some soldiers never return and we mourn.
Byline: Jim Carney and David Knox
Jan. 28--Jessica Clements' boyfriend took her to a Green High School basketball game a few weeks ago so they could watch his brother play ball at their alma mater. Her fun night out was in dramatic contrast to the spring and summer of 2004, when signs bearing her smiling face dotted the community, asking for prayer. The Army staff sergeant was in a military hospital, where she was given a 2 percent chance of survival after a roadside attack on the way to Baghdad International Airport. She had severe brain injuries. Now enrolled at the University of Akron, it was a refreshing moment to climb into the car with her friend, Paul Ellis Jr., for the trip to her home near Canton after the ballgame. But on the dark road, she shuddered in terror and grabbed Ellis' arm. Ellis saw nothing, and asked what was wrong.
It was a combat flashback. There were no terrorists, and there was no bomb, but on Clements' road to recovery, there are haunting leftovers from her involvement in America's post 9/11 military action.
Clements, now 30, is representative of the dramatic change in the nation's casualties in this war, in comparison with Vietnam. Among the casualties -- defined as those either injured or killed -- the survival rate is much higher because of quicker medical attention on the battlefield and in combat hospitals, great improvements in medical care and technology, and superior …

MINERAL OIL REVIVES DRY WOODEN BOWLS.(LIFE & LEISURE)

SEN. KLOBUCHAR PUSHES FOR STRONGER ONLINE PIRACY LAWS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 -- The office of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has issued the following news release:
At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today, U.
S. Senator Amy Klobuchar called for stronger laws that target Websites that steal copyrighted material and sell it, costing American businesses and the economy up to $100 billion each year. Many of these Websites appear similar to legitimate sites, leaving consumers unaware that they are purchasing pirated intellectual property. Klobuchar questioned several business and industry leaders at the hearing about what tools are needed to combat online piracy so that businesses can focus their resources on creating new innovative products and economic growth.
"As a former prosecutor, I know how critical it is that laws keep pace with technological advances," Klobuchar said. "Intellectual property is vital to our nation's economy, and our businesses rely on trademark and copyright laws to protect innovative ideas and products from theft."
Many of these Websites are operated offshore by international organized crime operations and use the profits to fund other illegal activities. Klobuchar pointed out that the current laws haven't kept up with technology, citing that it is currently a felony to sell counterfeit DVDs that together value over $2,500, but streaming those same movies over the Internet is only a misdemeanor.
Klobuchar last year cosponsored the bipartisan Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeit Act, a bill introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) that would curtail the practice of selling copyrighted material online. The bill would:
Give the Department of Justice the ability to take action against a domain name that is being used to traffic infringing material. The Department must publish notice of the action promptly and it would have to meet clear criteria that focus on the sites' substantial and repeated role in online piracy or counterfeiting
Provide safeguards allowing the domain name owner or site operator to petition the court to lift the order;
Provide safeguards against abuse by allowing only the Justice Department to initiate an action, and by giving a federal court the final say about whether a particular site would be cut off from supportive services.
