A new “lap band” or adjustable gastric band wrapped around the stomach is a proce­ dure that is also gaining populari­ ty. The “ lap band” can be inflated or deflated by a physician by adjusting a control pad located beneath the skin using a syringe. Even gastric bypass surgery has become less invasive when sever­ al small incisions are made to allow the passage of long instru­ ments and cameras instead of a big incision. For the most part, the surgery is safe and effective, Gomez said as he showed those present videos of several of the proce­ dures. Ninety percent of patients who undergo the procedure will lose at least 50 percent of their excess body weight and most obe­ sity related problems either improve or become completely resolved. Generally, the effects of the surgery also change the patients’ outlook on life, Gomez said, as they become more inter­ ested in living a healthy lifestyle when they see the rapid weight loss. Complications, however, do exist, including intestinal leakage in the short term and anemia and deficiencies in B12 and calcium in the long term. Long-term defi­ ciencies are treated with vitamin supplements, Gomez said. The procedure is a difficult one that is challenging for surgeons to mas­ ter.

Women in Irish Oral Tradition Oral storytelling, traditional singing and other verbal arts can offer ways of thinking and knowing that are independent of the linear modes of writing and print. Moreover, like other kinds o f art, oral tradition offers individuals and communities ways o f constructing and maintaining identity, often against considerable external pressure. This course will explore oral verbal art in Irish and English, through tran­ scribed texts, sound recordings and film, paying particular attention to depictions o f and performances by women, and offering gendered readings of the material studied. W e will examine and discuss a number o f genres of oral verbal art, including the International Folktale, Legends of the Supernatural, and Lament Poetry, and will also pay attention to the use o f this material by twentieth-century writers. Translations o f Irish-language texts will be available, so no prior knowledge o f Irish is required. T he O bserver

Opening statements were scheduled to begin Wednesday. Al-Hussayen is accused of helping to run Web sites that supported the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and other groups allegedly pro­ moting terrorism. Federal prosecutors said he provided “material support” to terrorists, a crime that was expanded under the Patriot Act — the federal terrorism law passed after Sept. 11 — to include “expert advice or assis­ tance.” Al-Hussayen was arrested at his home on Feb. 26, 2003, and has gotten strong support from students and faculty on the Moscow campus, where he had a reputation as a positive leader of the small Islamic community. After the Sept. 11 attacks, he marched in a peace rally, donat­ ed blood and worked to educate local residents about Islam. Al-Hussayen’s lawyer has said that while his client set up the Web sites, any statements made on those sites supporting terror­ ism were not his, and he has been unfairly blamed for the ...... words of others. The case has been seen as a test of the portion of the Patriot Act that prohibits providing expert advice or assistance to terrorist groups _ a provision that critics say can snare people who may inadvertently provide assistance because of their spe­ cial skills. “We have a law that is shaky at best, and my feeling is that Sami is going to be the test case in this.” said Rand Lewis, director of the Martin Institute for Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution and the Martin School of International Affairs at the University of Idaho. But federal prosecutors said that in addition to running Web sites and e-mail groups for would-be terrorists, Al-Hussayen maintained bank accounts to funnel cash to another group with terrorist connections. He is also charged with 11 counts of visa fraud and four counts of making false state­ ments to cover up his alleged links to terrorists. Al-Hussayen has been jailed since his arrest. His wife and three children returned to Saudi Arabia in January rather than fight deportation. page 10 The Observer ♦ NEVES Wednesday, April 14, 2004 Pakistan says it shares on probe, no comment on bombs

L e c t u r e by I a n S u r u m a T H E REAL JAPAN: THE CULT OF AUTHENTICITY Voters of all races go to polls

Associated Press JOHANNESBURG — South Africans of all races voted Wednesday for a new govern­ ment for the third time in a decade with the party credit­ ed with ending apartheid poised for another sweeping victory. Braving an early morning chill, voters lined up from as early as 3 a.m. in some rural districts to cast their ballots for a new national parliament and provincial assemblies. While there is little doubt about the outcome, political leaders worry that the thrill of democracy is waning ten years after South A frica’s first all-race vote ended close to half a century of oppres­ sive white minority rule. In 1994, an unprecedented 19.5 million of the estimated 21.7 m illion eligible voters cast ballots, waiting in long, snaking lines up to a mile long. That number dropped to 15.9 million in 1999 — 71 percent of eligible voters — and analysts say turnout could be still lower this year.
