NBC’s Trauma showing signs of life…
Rumors are swirling around the internet that, thanks to a recent ratings boost, the love-it-or-hate-it Trauma may be resuscitated by NBC after all.
NBC had planned to run the original 13 episodes that it had ordered, but now rumor has it that more episodes are forthcoming. Some believe that the ever-perplexing Nielsen ratings are responsible, but others believe that a groundswelling of fan support has tipped the scales in the show’s favor.

Iraqi police learn from US Army medics
It’s not often that positive news comes out of Iraq. So it’s refreshing to hear that medics from the 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team are teaching Iraqi federal police medical skills used to treat traumatic injuries. Part of the Iraqi Security Agreement, security forces in Baghdad are learning the skills they’ll need to stand on their own when the US forces eventually leave.
