1. Iraq -- Actions
   USNR PO2 Jaime S. Jaenke, 29, of Bay City, WI died in Al Anbar, Iraq as a result of enemy action when her HMMWV was struck by an improvised explosive device. Jaime was assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 25 from Fort McCoy, WI as a Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5) hospital corpsman/field medic. Originally from Iowa Falls, IA, Jaime had recently moved back there with her daughter and was starting her own business running an equestrian stable. Jaime had been an Emergency Medical Technician with the Ellsworth Ambulance Service in WI before she was activated in January and had been in Iraq about three months. She became the first female Iowan to die since WW II. Jaime leaves behind her daughter Kayla, mother Susan, and other family members.
2. Action -- Miscellaneous
   The biggest news in action figures this week is the the revelation of the new Heroes figures from Mezco Toys. With the success of the show, not to mention a very loyal and vocal fan base, it was only a matter of time before everyone's favorite characters were immortalized in plastic.
3. Action Force
   The Action Force has to discover who is this mysterious NO FACE who kidnapped Professor Moran because of his new discovery, a medicine which makes people doing what you want them to do. NO FACE wants to enslave the world by using this medicine.
4. Altruism -- Actions
   Altruism, defined as an action that benefits the receiver but comes at some cost to the performer, is one of the four types of social interactions that can occur between animals of the same species. Figure 1 summarizes these four interactions. Cooperation, where both actor and receiver benefit, and selfishness, where the action benefits the actor at the expense of the receiver, are by far the most common of the four interactions in nature. Spite, where both actor and receiver are harmed, and altruism are very rare.
5. Covert Action
   Covert Action is a stunning melange of rapid-fire retro imagery accomplishing Child's proclaimed goal to "disarm my movies." "I wanted to examine the erotic behind the social and remake those gestures into a dance that would confront their conditioning and, as well, relay the multiple fictions the footage suggests (the Ôfacts' forever obscured in the fragments left us). The result is a narrative developed by its periphery, a story like rumor: impossible to trace, disturbing, explosive."
6. Action Force -- Battle Action Force
   The Battle Action Force back stories that accompanied the release of the figures (see Battle Action Force tie in), were more extensive than were the case for the other Action Force ranges, with the possible exception of Z Force. Capitalising on the popularity of the real SAS, many of the comic back-stories of the characters and storylines involved SAS Force. Indeed, after appearing in the first-ever Action Force story[4], the SAS were the only Action Force unit that consistently appeared in storylines following the introduction of the third generation and the arrival of Cobra.
7. Action in New York
   The New York action is to start at 11.00 near the UNO Headquarters in 43 Street and 11 Avenue. Then, at 12.00 the action will be moved to the building of the Belarusian Consulate (3 Avenue between 44 and 45 Streets). Afterwards, at 14.00 the action participants will march along 3 Avenue till the UNO Office of Belarus in 67 Street.
8. Hunger -- Hunger Action
   Hunger Action is pleased that he Governor’s budget continues his reform efforts to increase access to public health benefit programs such as Medicaid and Child Health Plus while putting more emphasis on providing care to patients and strengthening primary care delivery. The Governor did agree to a number of the revenue strategies promoted by human service groups such as increased savings from bulk purchasing of prescription drugs and closing of corporate tax loopholes.
9. Rational Choice Theory -- Actions
   The methodological individualism of rational choice theorists leads them to start out from the actions of individuals and to see all other social phenomena as reducible to these individual actions. For Homans... it was also necessary to see individual actions as reducible to these conditioned psychological responses (see also Emerson 1972a and 1972b). This position was justified on the grounds that the principles of rational choice and social exchange were simply expressions of the basic principles of behavioural psychology. While many other rational choice theorists have rejected this claim - and Homans himself came to see it as inessential - it is worth looking, briefly, at the argument.
10. Political Action Committees (Pacs)
    WASHINGTON -- Financial activity by political action committees (PACs) increased during the 1995-96 election cycle, according to figures compiled by the Federal Election Commission. From January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1996, PACs raised $437.4 million, an increase of 12% over 1994, and spent $429.9 million, up 11% over 1994. Cash on hand as of December 31, 1996, totalled $103.9 million.
