Iraqi Government Starts to Take Shape
Henri Barkey, chair of the international relations department at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about Iraq’s agreement on the top government posts, including a Sunni parliamentary speaker, Shiite and Sunni vice presidents, and a Kurdish president. One area of concern is the impact the long weeks of behind-doors negotiations for a leadership has had on the public. It's taken some of the enthusiasm out, says Barkey, a former State Department Iraq analyst. A government that got out of the blocks quickly and was seen addressing the insurgency and the country's glaring lack of services could have built on the optimism people were feeling for Iraq's new democracy after the Jan. 30 elections, he says. As it is now, they've expended some of their honeymoon capital.”

Online Support Helps Patients with Rare Illness
Researchers from the department of sociology and anthropology at Lehigh monitored messages and users in an e-mail listserv for sufferers of primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disease affecting around five in every 100,000 people. The internet provides a highly valued outlet for people who have a rare disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, say the researchers. It appears to be particularly valuable for those who are newly diagnosed and in need of health information, but it is an important resource for people at all stages of the disease. The peer-to-peer support coupled with readily available medical information made the forum valuable for its users, said the study.
