Funeral of Bahrain youth turns into street protest (Reuters)

DUBAI (Reuters) ? Bahraini police fired tear gas and sound grenades after hundreds of Shi'ite youths demonstrated on Sunday over the death of a 15-year-old protester a day earlier in the Sunni-ruled Gulf island kingdom, residents and activists said.

Confrontations between security forces and protesters take place almost daily in areas populated by majority Shi'ites, who led anti-government protests that were crushed last year.

"After the funeral, many of the mourners started protesting and the police began using tear gas and sound bombs. It is still going on hours later," a resident told Reuters from the mostly Shi'ite village of Sitra, south of the capital Manama.

At least one demonstrator was wounded after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister, activists said in Twitter messages.

The opposition said earlier that Sayed Hashim Saeed, who died on Saturday, had been hit by a tear gas canister at close range, but officials said the youth's body had extensive burns which could not have been caused by a tear gas canister.

"Preliminary investigations show that the deceased was among those who took part in attacks on security forces by throwing petrol bombs," the state news agency BNA quoted a police official as saying.

A coroner's report said the youth had a neck wound which may have been fatal and that the cause of death would be investigated.

Authorities said on Sunday they had arrested 11 "saboteurs" suspected of throwing petrol bombs at police during a protest on Friday in the village of Nuwaidrat, near Sitra, south of Manama, BNA reported.

Shi'ite youths chanting slogans against Bahrain's royal family clashed with riot police across the Gulf state on Friday and Saturday. Security forces fired tear gas to try to prevent them from blocking roads, a tactic often used by protesters.

Inspired by Arab uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, thousands of mainly Shi'ite Bahrainis took to the streets in February and March demanding curbs on the power of the ruling Sunni Muslim Al-Khalifa family and an end to perceived discrimination.

The broader pro-democracy movement was suppressed with military backing from Bahrain's Sunni-led Gulf neighbors Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

At least 35 people, including five members of the security forces, were killed in the unrest, according to an inquiry Bahrain commissioned into the protests and their aftermath. The inquiry said it found evidence of systematic abuse and torture.

Bahrain has promised to implement the inquiry's recommendations, which the U.S. Congress has linked to its approval of a $53 million arms sale to Manama. Opposition groups doubt the kingdom's commitment to reform.

On Saturday, the independent daily Al Wasat said on its website that the head of the body tasked with implementing the recommendations, Ali al-Salih, had resigned. There was no official confirmation of the report.

Bahrain is important to Western interests in the Middle East because it hosts the U.S. Fifth Fleet and faces Shi'ite giant Iran on the other side of the Gulf. Iran has denied Bahraini government accusations that it has incited the protests.

Boeing wins $3.48 billion U.S. missile contract (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? Boeing Co beat out Lockheed Martin to retain its position as the prime contractor for the U.S. long-range missile shield, the Pentagon said on Friday.

The U.S. Defense Department said it was awarding Boeing a $3.48 billion, seven-year contract to develop, test, engineer and manufacture missile defense systems.

A team led by Lockheed Martin Corp and Raytheon Co had vied with Boeing to expand and maintain the Ground-based Midcourse Defense, or GMD, hub of layered antimissile protection.

Boeing partnered with Northrop Grumman Corp to retain the work.

"We believe the government conducted a fair and open competition, making the right decision for the future of the program," Norm Tew, Boeing vice president and program director of GMD, said in a statement.

Lockheed said it was "honored" to have participated on the bid, a company spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.

The GMD contract's value to Boeing will have been about $18 billion from January 2001, when it formally became the system's prime contractor, through the end of this year, Boeing has said.

GMD uses radar and other sensors plus a 20,000-mile fiber optic communications network to cue interceptors in silos at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

The shield has been shaped initially to guard against ballistic missiles that could be fired by Iran and North Korea. It is the only U.S. defense against long-range missiles that could be tipped with chemical, biological or nuclear warheads.

'Synthetic' marijuana is problem for US military (AP)

SAN DIEGO ? U.S. troops are increasingly using an easy-to-get herbal mix called "Spice," which mimics a marijuana high, is hard to detect and can bring on hallucinations that last for days.

The abuse of the substance has so alarmed military officials that they've launched an aggressive testing program that this year has led to the investigation of more than 1,100 suspected users.

So-called "synthetic" pot is readily available on the Internet and has become popular nationwide in recent years, but its use among troops and sailors has raised concerns among the Pentagon brass.

"You can just imagine the work that we do in a military environment," said Mark Ridley, deputy director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, adding, "you need to be in your right mind when you do a job. That's why the Navy has always taken a zero tolerance policy toward drugs."

Two years ago, only 29 Marines and sailors were investigated for Spice. This year, the number topped 700, the investigative service said. Those found guilty of using Spice are kicked out, although the Navy does not track the overall number of dismissals.

The Air Force has punished 497 airmen so far this year, compared to last year's 380, according to figures provided by the Pentagon. The Army does not track Spice investigations but says it has medically treated 119 soldiers for the synthetic drug in total.

Military officials emphasize those caught represent a tiny fraction of all service members and note none was in a leadership position or believed high while on duty.

Spice is made up of exotic plants from Asia like Blue Lotus and Bay Bean. Their leaves are coated with chemicals that mimic the effects of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, but are five to 200 times more potent.

More than 40 states have banned some of its chemicals, prompting sellers to turn to the Internet, where it is marketed as incense or potpourri. In some states, Spice is sold at bars, smoke shops and convenience stores.

Sellers based in the United States and Europe advertising the incense on the Internet did not respond to emails or calls seeking comment.

The packets often say the ingredients are not for human consumption and are for aromatherapy. They are described as "mood enhancing" and "long lasting." Some of the sellers' Web sites say they do not sell herbal mixes containing any illegal chemicals and say they are offering a "legal high."

Service members preferred it because up until this year there was no way to detect it with urine tests. A test was developed after the Drug Enforcement Administration put a one-year emergency ban on five chemicals found in the drug.

Manufacturers are adapting to avoid detection, even on the new tests, and skirt new laws banning the main chemicals, officials say.

"It's a moving target," said Capt. J.A. "Cappy" Surette, spokesman for the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

The military can calibrate its equipment to test for those five banned chemicals "but underground chemists can keep altering the properties and make up to more than 100 permutations," Surette said.

Complicating their efforts further, there are more than 200 other chemicals used in the concoctions. They remain legal and their effects on the mind and body remain largely unknown, Navy doctors say.

A Clemson University created many of the chemicals for research purposes in 1990s. They were never tested on humans.

Civilian deaths have been reported and emergency crews have responded to calls of "hyper-excited" people doing things like tearing off their clothes and running down the street naked.

Navy investigators compare the substance to angel dust because no two batches are the same. Some who smoke it like a marijuana cigarette may just feel a euphoric buzz, but others have suffered delusions lasting up to a week.

While the problem has surfaced in all branches of the military, the Navy has been the most aggressive in drawing attention to the problem.

It produced a video based on cases to warn sailors of Spice's dangers and publicized busts of crew members on some of its most-storied ships, including the USS Carl Vinson, from which Osama bin Laden's was dropped into the sea.

Two of the largest busts this year involved sailors in the San Diego-based U.S. Third Fleet, which announced last month that it planned to dismiss 28 sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.

A month earlier, 64 sailors, including 49 from the Vinson, were accused of being involved in a Spice ring.

Many of the cases were discovered after one person was caught with synthetic pot, prompting broader investigations.

Lt. Commander Donald Hurst, a fourth-year psychiatry resident at San Diego's Naval Medical Center, said the hospital is believed to have seen more cases than any other health facility in the country.

Doctors saw users experiencing bad reactions once a month, but now see them weekly. Users suffer everything from vomiting, elevated blood pressure and seizures to extreme agitation, anxiety and delusions.

Hurst said the behavior in many cases he witnessed at first seemed akin to schizophrenia. Usually within minutes, however, the person became completely lucid. Sometimes, the person goes in and out of such episodes for days.

He recalled one especially bizarre case of a sailor who came in with his sobbing wife.

"He stood their holding a sandwich in front of him with no clue as to what to do," he said. "He opened it up, looked at it, touched it. I took it and folded it over and then he took a bite out it. But then we had to tell him, `you have to chew.'"

An hour later when Hurst went back to evaluate him, he was completely normal and worried about being in trouble.

"That's something you don't see with acute schizophrenic patients," he said. "Then we found out based on the numbers of people coming in like this, that OK there's a new drug out there."

Hurst decided to study 10 cases. Some also had smoked marijuana or drank alcohol, while others only smoked Spice.

Of the 10, nine had lost a sense of reality. Seven babbled incoherently. The symptoms for seven of them lasted four to eight days. Three others are believed to now be schizophrenic. Hurst believed the drug may have triggered the symptoms in people with that genetic disposition. His findings were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in October.

He said there are countless questions that still need answering, including the designer drug's effects on people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or traumatic brain injuries.

What the research has confirmed, he said, is: "These are not drugs to mess with."

The top 8 parenting controversies of 2011 (The Week)

New York ? Crotchless thongs, ADHD medication, chicken-pox lollipops, tiger moms ? parents had plenty to argue about this year

Moms and dads can all agree that parenting is no easy job. But ask them what's the best way to raise a kid, and get ready for an argument. Here, a list of eight parenting controversies that heated up talk at the dinner table in 2011:

1. Crotchless thongs... for 7-year-olds
A Colorado mom alerted the media when she visited a clothing store called Kid N Teen and found leopard-print, crotchless thong panties sized to fit girls as young as 7. The store's owner defended herself by saying that particular garment was meant for teens. But her critics ? and there were many ? said nobody should be urging teenage girls to buy underwear designed to make it easier, and faster, to have sex. "Holy triple inappropriate, Batman," said Meredith Carroll at Babble.

2. ADHD: Are we over-drugging our kids?
The number of kids being treated for ADHD with prescription drugs, such as Adderall, rose from 1.8 million in 1996 to 2.3 million in 2008. The biggest jump was among teens. Some doctors chalked up the rise to greater recognition of ADHD, while others said we're in the middle of an over-prescription "epidemic." I've prescribed these drugs to kids for more than 30 years, said Dr. Lawrence Diller at?The Huffington Post. I believe in "the effectiveness and safety of these medicines." But we should all be worried about a medical system "that is so dependent on this treatment."

3. The "insane" mail-order "chicken pox lollipops" craze
One of the year's more bizarre twists in the vaccine wars came when authorities had to warn parents not to order lollipops licked by children infected with chicken pox, which are being sold online. The theory behind the candy is that you give it to your kids so the exposure will inoculate them. One doctor calls the trend a form of "Middle Ages vigilante vaccination," and health officials warn it's dangerous and illegal to send infected materials through the mail.

4. Live birth... as performance art?
A pregnant New York City artist, Marni Kotak, arranged to have her baby in an art gallery...?as an audience watched. Kotak should be ashamed of the way she put her artistic vision ahead of the health and safety of her baby, said L.S. Carbonell at Lez Get Real. Her baby deserved to be born in a warm, safe place, not a public environment full of germs. But the sharing of intimate body functions is central to the history of performance art, said Ceridwren Morris at Babble, and the visceral act of giving birth certainly surely qualifies.

5. The great apple juice debate: FDA vs. Dr. Oz
TV medical expert Dr. Mehmet Oz caused a nationwide food fight when he said apple juice, which parents frequently give to their children, can have dangerously high levels of arsenic. The FDA fired back, saying "there is no evidence of any public health risk from drinking these juices."? Dr. Oz's statements are "extremely irresponsible," said Dr. Richard Besser at ABC News. Maybe, said Danielle Sullivan at Babble. But remember, the FDA shrugs off plenty of things many of us "do not feel are good for our kids," like trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and meat injected with hormones and antibiotics.

6. Is Chuck E. Cheese creating tiny gambling addicts?
California mom Debbie Keller?sued Chuck E. Cheese Pizza for $5 million, claiming the restaurant's arcade games transform kids into gamblers. "It's time to crown a new hero in the mom world," said Jeanne Sager at The Stir. Chuck E. Cheese's games of chance are nothing but a training ground for Vegas. Then Keller should have just stayed away, said?Perez Hilton. If anyone's a gambling addict, it's her ? she's "rolling her legal dice for a $5 million jackpot!"

7. Vegan breastfeeding: A deadly crime?
A French vegan couple was prosecuted for neglect in the 2008 death of their 11-month-old daughter. They fed her only breast milk, which doctors say left the baby with a vitamin A and B12 deficiency due to her mother's diet. They also ignored a doctor's advice to get the baby treated in a hospital for bronchitis, trying natural remedies instead. This should "communicate a clear message to other vegans," said Sarah Pope at The Healthy Home Economist. "Abstinence from all animal foods is a danger to one's health and most particularly, your baby!" Nonsense, said Mike Adams at Natural News. This is simply anti-vegan bias.

8. Do Chinese "tiger moms" raise the best kids?
Yale law professor Amy Chua ignited a national debate when she argued in The Wall Street Journal that strict Chinese mothers raise more successful children than coddling Western parents. "If the goal is efficiency, excellence, and success," says Henry Blodget at?Business Insider, it would appear that tiger moms do have "most American mothers beat." Sorry, but there are "downsides of telling children what they can and cannot do or be," says Mike Vilensky at New York. "It's hard to imagine a dictatorial mom like Chua raising a Bill Gates or a Mark Zuckerberg."
