Witnesses say Edwards, Harvick Fight In Garage

Greg Biffle is not angry with his teammate Carl Edwards for starting a 12-car accident at Talladega Superspeedway.

Nor is Matt Kenseth.

Kevin Harvick? Not quite of it.

Witnesses said Edwards and Harvick scuffled Thursday in the Nationwide Series garage at Lowe's Motor Speedway after Edwards entered the garage stall Harvick and the two engaged in a lively argument.

Harvick seems to try to withdraw, but witnesses said, Edwards has reached his shoulder to turn back around him. Harvick then pushed Edwards, who stumbled on the bonnet of the car Harvick, and both had to be separated.

Witnesses said a member of the team of Harvick had Edwards in a Headlock that many people have tried to separate the two.

Harvick was not available for comment.

Edwards did not deny both claims, but would not discuss the incident.

"The agreement with me and Harvick is between me and him and there's nothing else to talk," he said. "I am not talking about that. It's just what it is. We know where each other stand and that's all. "

Although photographers CIA Stock Photography and Lowe's Motor Speedway drew instant, both refused to show the photos to the Associated Press said they had no plans to publish the photos.

Edwards has triggered the crash late Sunday when he tried to push Biffle that the three Roush Fenway Racing racing cars competing for the lead. But his bumper hanging on the corner of Biffle, sending Biffle in a slideshow directly into Kenseth.

Several competitors of the championship have been caught in the fray, including Harvick, who had harsh words for Edwards and his strategy after the accident.

"I know that fans will not be very proud of him sitting there riding around as a thought," said Harvick in a national television interview. "Had he been running all day, perhaps he would have known how long the front of his car was."

The Charlotte Observer obtained a photo of a handwritten note Edwards Harvick driver before leaving Talladega.

In this document, he used an expletive to "thank" Harvick for criticizing him on television and sarcastically added: "I was really trying to screw all day. Love, Carl. "

Biffle and Kenseth were upset with their teammate, immediately after the accident, but said they were on him when they got to Lowe's.

"We can point fingers all day about what happened," said Biffle. "He understands that he made a mistake and there is nothing we can do about it now. Although he did not want to wreck itself, because that is what he did, it destroys itself.

"I do not know what else to say about it, but I'm not crazy about him."

Kenseth, who argued with Edwards last fall at Martinsville, said he was initially shocked by the accident but had spent it.

"Our relationship is good," Kenseth said. "I was disappointed. I think Carl knew better. He was preaching the thing to be cautious and to work together and teammates and everything, so I was disappointed it happened, but it was an accident and it will happen. "

Jamie Lynn Spears Responds To Rumors Of Fiance Casey Aldridge's Infidelity

Jamie Lynn Spears goes on the folder in the latest issue of OK! Magazine on the nature of his relationship with fiancé Casey Aldridge, amid rumors that the father of her 3 months old daughter Maddie Briann has been unfaithful to the old "Zoey 101" star.

Shortly after Spears, 17, gave birth to their daughter in June, tabloids began reporting that Aldridge, 19, was to see other women and got one of them pregnant. In the OK! interview, which took place in Mississippi couple's home, Aldridge denied the allegations, noting that small-town politics has much to do with the surface noise.

"In a small town, everybody knows," he told the magazine. "But when the money game, you know who are your friends."

Meanwhile, Spears defended her boyfriend and accused women who have claimed that Aldridge has been dating for them to the attention. "What happened was that one of these girls did, and in this small town when one of them there, they're all like," good idea, "she explained." They all jumped on the movement. "

She also hard denied rumors that 28-year-old Kelli Dawson Aldridge is pregnant with his child, said that Dawson has a reputation for not telling the truth. "It's just completely fabricated," said Jamie Lynn. "He never had an intimate relationship with her, how is this possible? Here, this girl is called to invent stories."

But what most bothers Spears is the fact that Aldridge and the family have to deal with media control. "It hurts me to learn these things, because my family to read. It is not fair to them, "she says. "Casey's family is not used to that. They could assume it's true. My family knows he is not. It is certainly difficult for the family of Casey to deal with it, but you just explain that this is Part of this undertaking. "

Spears said that his own family is behind the young couple as they raise their daughter in the eyes of the media. "They know that if I was in a relationship like that, I would not put up with him," she says. "My family supports me, and they also support Casey. They read these stories and take it with a grain of salt ".

When asked about the future, the couple said they intend to marry, but not soon. Spears said she wants to wait until Maddie is old enough to take part in the ceremony. "We are committed and we are really happy with where we are now," she says. "There is no rush for nothing."

However, they work on their future: Aldridge is studying technology in south-west of the Mississippi Community College. And once the child grows older, Spears also hopes to attend college.

"I want to get my degree in business. I could take online courses now, but with Maddie being so young, it is difficult to sit down and focus, "she said. "I want to go to college and get my degree."

Meet Sarah Palin’s Radical Right-Wing Pals

In the afternoon of Sept. 24 in downtown Palmer, Alaska, as the sun began to sink behind the mountains of snow that flank the picturesque Mat-Su Valley, 51 years, Mark Chryson sat for an hour on a bench Park, reveling in tales of his days as chairman of the Alaska Independence Party. The stocky, gray-haired technician waxed nostalgic about quixotic battles to abolish taxes, support "traditional family" and the secession of the United States.

As long as Alaska remained under the boot of the federal government, said Chryson, IAPA has to stand on guard barrier to a new world order. He invited a journalist Show see some articles in his pickup truck that were intended for personal protection. "This here's my dog attack," he says with a laugh, defer delivery exuberant 8-pound butterfly his passenger seat. "Her name is Suzy." Then he fired a 9-millimeter Makarov pistol PM - once the issue of standards revolver Soviet cops - out of his glove. "I have enough weapons to raise a small army in my basement," he said, clutching the gun in his palm. "Then, if most people in Alaska." But Chryson added a message of reassurance to the residents of this remote place that some people in Alaska call "48". "We want to go our separate ways," he said, "but we're not going to kill you. "

Although Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, which advocates secession of Alaska from the EU, and organize ideas with other secessionist movements from Canada to the Deep South, it is not without influence of the State policy, particularly the rise of Sarah Palin. An obscure figure outside of Alaska, was Chryson political fixture in the birthplace of the Republic Vice-President candidate in more than a decade. During the 1990s, when AIP Chryson directed him and another radical right winger, Steve Stoll, played a quiet but central role in the election as mayor Palin of Wasilla and the definition of its political agenda after. Both Chryson Stoll and not only contributed to the Palin campaign financially, they have played major roles behind the scenes in the camp Palin before, during and after his victory.

Palin Chryson successfully as it has advanced a series of anti-tax, pro-firearms, including one that amended the state constitution of language to better facilitate the formation of anti-militia government. She joined in their vendetta against several local officials they did not, and listened to their advice on hiring. She tried to name Stoll, a John Birch Society activist known in the Mat-Su Valley as "Black Helicopter Steve," an empty seat Wasilla City Council. "Every time I showed up to his door was open," said Chryson. "And this policy continues when she became governor."

When Chryson first met Sarah Palin, however, he did not really trust his policy. It was the early 1990s, when he was a member of a libertarian local pressure group called SAGE, permanent or against government excesses. (SAGE's founder, Tammy McGraw, Palin was coach of birth.) Palin has been a leader in a pro-sales tax citizens group called WOW, or watch on Wasilla, winning its policy before its identification 1992 campaign for City Council. Although he was impressed by his skills, Chryson Palin welcomed the election of caution, thinking it was too close to Democrats on the board and too pro-tax.

But soon, Palin and Chryson discovered that they could be useful to each other. Palin is running for mayor, while Chryson was about to take the presidency of the Alaska Independence Party, which at its peak in 1990, managed to elect a governor.

The AIP is born of the vision of "Old Joe" Vogler, a hard-bitten former gold miner who hated the U.S. government almost as much he hated wolves and environmentalists. His resentment peaked in the early 1970s when the federal government has begun installing the Alaska oil and gas pipeline. Powered by rabies raw - "The United States made a colony of Alaska," he said author John McPhee in 1977 - Vogler said a maverick candidacy for the post of governor in 1982. Although he has lost, Old Joe has become a force to be reckoned with, and a constant source of amusement for Alaska of the political class. During a discussion governor in 1982, Vogler proposed d ' use nuclear weapons to destroy the ice blocking roads in Juneau. "There is under gold!" He exclaimed.

Vogler is another step to run governor of the mansion in 1986. But the fortunes of the AIP suddenly changed four years later, when Richard Nixon Vogler convinced of the former interior secretary, Wally Hickel, for a period of Governor of his party under the banner. Hickel coasted to victory, overflow moderate Republican and a centrist Democrat. A Republican running archconservative AIP candidate Jack Coghill, was elected lieutenant governor.

Hickel failure thereafter as governor of the press for a vote on independence rankled Alaska Old Joe. With the sponsorship of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Vogler is scheduled to present its arguments in favor of Alaska before secession United Nations General Assembly in late spring 1993. But before he could, Old Joe's long, strange political career ended tragically in May that when he was assassinated by a fellow breakaway.

Hickel joined the Republican Party of the year after the death of Vogler and did not re-election. Lt. Gov. Coghill of the campaign to succeed him as a candidate for governor AIP ended in disaster, he peeled away just enough votes Republican, Jim Campbell, throwing the election of Democratic Governor Tony Knowles.

Despite the disaster, Coghill clinging to the AIP as president for three years. When he was asked to resign in 1997, Mark Chryson replaced him. Chryson pursued a dual policy of cozying up to secessionists and right-wing groups in Alaska and elsewhere, while trying to replicate the success of the AIP with Hickel to the infiltration of the mainstream.

Unlike some radical right, Chryson not put forward its ideas chartered with anger or paranoia. And in a state where gun rights of ownership and often a genuine religious fervor, Chryson was able to present himself as a typical Alaska.

It rose through the ranks of reducing the AIP of the platform to a single page that "90 percent of the people of Alaska could accept." This means washing of the old platform that Chryson called "racist" while taking into account the state of the Christian right more and more movement emphasizing the commitment to the AIP " traditional family. "

"The AIP is very family-oriented," said Chryson. "We are for the traditional family - father, mother, children - because we all know that Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. And we are not so Heather has two mommies. This is not a traditional family. "

Chryson to further streamline the AIP by the platform secessionist softening its language. Instead of calling immediate separation from the United States, the platform is now demanding a vote on independence.

Yet Chryson maintains that his party remains committed to full independence. "The Independence Party in Alaska had links to almost all independent movement in the spirit world," exclaims Chryson. "And Alaska is not the only place that the subject of separation. There are at least 30 different states are not talking about some kind of separation from the United States. "

"Race Baiting" - Campbell Brown Blasts McCain Campaign

In her "No Bias, No Bull" segment Wednesday night, Campbell Brown pleaded with the McCain campaign to stop what she referred to as "race baiting."

"It is getting very, very ugly," Brown said. "Tonight, we are cutting through the bull on the issue of race and this campaign."

Brown blasted McCain surrogates for injecting race Obama's race into the campaign narrative by invoking his middle name or referring to him as a terrorist, and she called on McCain to deliver a "much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement:

Look, everybody, we all know that we are in unchartered territory here. Never before has there been an African-American presidential nominee. So without question, race is going to be part of the conversation. Race baiting does not have to be. And yet, it is happening in this campaign.


Twice this week, surrogates for Senator McCain had made a point of calling Senator Obama "Barack Hussein Obama." The implication here is clear. It's foreign sounding. It's Muslim sounding. It's un-American sounding. It's dangerous sounding.


What it is, is race baiting. And that is what is dangerous. Inciting crowds, encouraging their angry outbursts. McCain supporters shouting "treason" and "terrorist" about Obama at these rallies - that is dangerous.


Earlier in the campaign, McCain denounced this stuff. He strongly denounced it. And today, it requires a stronger response, a much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement.

Palin Campaigned Years For Firing Trooper!

Todd Palin talked with more than a dozen government officials, many of them repeatedly in his crusade to get a soldier who fired it be regarded as a bad cop, a dishonest person and a threat Palin for the family, according to his sworn statement given Wednesday to legislative investigator.

The 25-page declaration Governor Sarah Palin her husband, in response to questions asked by the investigator, Todd shows that the efforts of the Palin began before his wife became governor and accelerated during the first 19 months of his administration.

Todd Palin leading the campaign against his former brother-State Trooper Mike Wooten, who had divorced sister of the governor in 2006 and who is involved in a fight over custody.

Two investigations - one by the Legislature and one by the state employees pension - are underway to see if Gov. Palin or members of his administration abused their powers for Wooten cooking, and if their efforts have resulted in the removal of the governor's commissioner of public safety, Walt Monegan, in July.

The Legislature ordered the investigation in late July and until this week Todd Palin and officials of the administration of Governor resisted subpoenas say what they know about Troopergate. Palin's statement Wednesday followed a state judge last week refused to invalidate the subpoenas. The Daily News has obtained the statement by Thomas Van Fleiner, a lawyer Todd and Sarah Palin.

In his statement, Palin is unapologetic about its efforts to obtain Wooten fired, but he said he did not think that these efforts have nothing to do with Monegan dismissal. He said that his understanding is that Monegan lost his job because of a dispute with the governor and his staff on budgetary matters and the inability to fill vacancies soldier. "

He also suggested there was bad blood between the governor and Monegan on two other issues:

• An investigation of the governor Monegan whether it failed once to his trip, his child in a car seat as she was driving.

• The unavailability of the state aircraft soldier for the governor to use when traveling to Bush.

On the car seat, Monegan sent an e-mail to the governor 30 days before June 12, he lost his job, who said: "In a soon-to-be-legislator to retire, we received a complaint which you conduct Trig not in a car seat, if so it would be inconvenient in many ways. "

The governor responded to his private e-mail: "I have never driven anywhere without triggering a new car seat approved. I want to know who said no - pls give me this information now. "

Todd Palin, in his sworn statement, said it was a "false rumor" and that the governor was a passenger in a truck, on a private farm road without traffic at low speeds. "

On the plane soldier, "It seems that whenever Sarah need this plan, it was not available," said Todd Palin. "We were concerned that the Department of Public Safety was retaliation against Sarah for the sale of the jet Murkowski that the Department of Public Safety have the assistance of officials. " In 2007, the governor has sold a jet his predecessor, Frank Murkowski, bought in a controversial contempt of the Legislature.

In his statement, Palin repeatedly discusses his quest to get Wooten dismissed, but said he never said Monegan Wooten ignited. He said Wooten threatened Palin's stepfather, intimidation of persons as a soldier, drove in his private car after drinking, improperly used his private car to commute his children and falsified a worker to the request of compensation. Wooten was suspended for five days in 2006 after troopers investigated complaints against him.

"We have had many conversations about a guy who threatened my family and verbally assaulted my daughter. We talked about my concerns. We talked about Wooten possibly shoot one of my children for their part, as launch a bag of dope in the back seat just to establish a Palin, "he said of his conversations with Palin aid.

"I had hundreds of conversations and communication on the Cavalier Wooten in the past few years with my family, friends, colleagues, and with almost everybody I could - including government officials" , Said Palin.

"I spoke to both Wooten over the years that my wife told me to stop talking with her."

He said taking his concerns to Monegan it was following the instructions of ordinary citizens complain about the troupe.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong on lodging concerns about Cavalier Wooten Monegan or with his predecessor - State of complaints about the troupe are expected to go to the Commissioner," he said.

"I make no apology for wanting to protect my family and want to publicize the injustice of a violent soldier keeping his badge and abuse of workers' compensation. The real investigation should be conducted for the general public interest is the Ministry of Public Security's refusal to discipline its own. "

The price, amounting to about $ 29 per share represents a premium of 70 percent of Merrill recovery rate on Friday, while Merrill shares were trading at $ 50 in May and more than $ 90 in early January 2007. The agreement was approved by the directors of both companies. Merrill three directors will join the Bank of America board.

Merrill plans to establish a single communication to employees somewhere between 8 and 9 pm New York Monday.

Merrill has come under pressure to find a merger partner came after its liquidity began to leak its Friday and the company was concerned about a sharp drop in share price on Monday, according to the people 'within the company.

Merrill expects huge job losses with the merger. The brokerage division remains intact, but there will be large-scale reductions in manpower. CEO John Thain is also expected to leave.

"There is more," said a senior official Merrill.

The deal is that Lehman Brothers Holdings [LEH 3.65 -0.57 (-13.51%)] is preparing for bankruptcy after failing to find a buyer.

A spokesman for Merrill Lynch and Bank of America spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment. (See Charlie's panel of the purchase of Merrill Bofa on the left)

Merrill, wrestling with some of the same toxic debt - largely in connection with the mortgage - which torpedoed Lehman stock was hit hard by the credit crisis and says more than 40 billion dollars in the past year.

Last month, Thain prepared to more than $ 30 billion in debt repackaged in Dallas-based private equity firm Lone Star Funds.

"I'm surprised at the fact that Merrill Lynch would sell at the moment," said Bill Fitzpatrick, an analyst at Optique Capital in Milwaukee. "They seem to take steps to improve their business. They sold much of their Toxic. Merrill seems to be for me to move forward."

Despite these risks, the bank is considered by some as undervalued, partly because of its huge brokerage business, which analysts say is worth more than $ 25 billion.

The brokerage is the largest in the world with assets under management and the number of brokers.

Merrill has about 45 percent Thursday in the profitable asset manager Black Rock, with a value of more than $ 10 billion.

"It can be a powerful fit," said Rick Meckler, chief investment Liberty View Capital Management in New York.

But he added: "Merrill Lynch has made significant progress and the Bank of America shall have sufficient assets to be treated."

Meckler also noted that "due diligence" Bank of America should be on the books of Merrill would be a major undertaking, given the complexity of the exposure of the company in connection with mortgage securities and other complex debt.

With the mediation and share with a value of more than $ 35 billion combined, and Merrill on the market capital of about $ 26 billion, investors assigning a negative value of the investment bank, this implies a huge potential board losses.

On the other hand, it would not be the first time that the Bank of America made a rapid takeover.

In 2005, the Bank bought MBNA credit card company after less than a week of the due diligence, with Lewis saying that the company was comfortable with the takeover, because he knew that people and businesses.

Bank of America in the context of Lewis has in fact become known for large acquisitions and has more than $ 100 billion since 2004 buying other companies.

More recently it acquired troubled mortgage lender Financial Corp., and each country - although many are skeptical about this purchase - veteran analyst Dick Bove said last week, the recovery could prove a master stroke Lewis, as the Government takeover of the mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac May fuel for other lenders.

Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy

Lehman Brothers said he intends to bankruptcy, but the Chapter 11 will not apply to the filing of its broker-dealers and other units, including Neuberger Berman.

Lehman [LEH 3.65 -0.57 (-13.51%)] shall consider the sale of its broker-dealer and is in advanced talks with several potential buyers of its investment management division.

Bankruptcy is the end of a 158-year-old who survived two world wars and the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management, but could not survive the global credit.

Investors in recent weeks increasingly worried Lehman 46 billion dollars of mortgages and asset-backed securities, and its credit rating and ability to raise capital.

Officials of the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury steps to reduce the risks to the system and ensure the proper functioning of markets in the United States at the opening Monday. And the Federal Reserve has also agreed to accept lower quality assets in exchange for loans from the government.

Establish banks $ 70 billion credit facility

In addition ten Wall Street banks have decided to make a provision for guarantees on loans, and committed to fund $ 7 billion.

The banks Bank of America, Barclays, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS. These banks have said they are committed to the funding of $ 7 billion each for a total of $ 70 billion in loan guarantee facility.

The banks say that they work together to help maximize liquidity of the market by means of continuous commercial relations, dealer credit terms and committed capital markets. This will also include orderly resolution of derivatives traded on the counter between the Lehman exhibition and its counterparties.

The ten banks say they intend to use the Federal Reserve SVT credit extended this week. The banks say their actions reflect "extraordinary environment."

Wall Street is preparing for Monday Grim

Wall Street traders returned to their offices Sunday afternoon to prepare for the impact on the market a package of bankruptcy and the interrogation of Lehman stock of approximately $ 700 million.

A Wall Street trader involved in discussions with officials of the Federal Reserve said that each company has given their exposure to Lehman Sunday morning and prepare for federal assistance in the outcome of the operations.

But Fed officials have said they will not participate in such a relaxing - they said the Wall Street firms themselves to determine what the best way to business with Lehman.

Bank of America sent a note to the operators derived Sunday saying: "Banks, brokers Lehman began clearing operations by 2 pm today ... net trades from the bankruptcy of Lehman midnight." The memo continued: "If a bankruptcy Lehman , Clearing transactions to be canceled, "namely the Bank of America Lehman hypothesis on the side of the trader would end.

"This is a way to the press before Wall Street opens tomorrow. The more they can the amount of the brokerage Lehman's book, the least bad heart, will counterparties as the files Lehman," Carlos Mendez, CEO of CPI Capital in New York .

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association has a special session from 2 pm to 4 pm, but traders said it was purely symbolic. They intend to trade through the night.

The cost of insuring the obligations of the investment bank blew in trading on Sunday.

Barclays withdraws

Earlier in the day, the United Kingdom to Barclays Bank's withdrawal from talks to buy Lehman. Barclays, which was regarded as the main candidate to buy Lehman would have been unable to agree on safeguards to protect against possible losses.

Top Wall Street executives arrived Sunday for another round of talks to resolve the crisis Lehman, and sources said the group has continued to work on how to deal with the possibility of an agreement not to do before Monday.

In mid-morning, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would have been involved in several telephone conversations with senior Washington officials gathered at the New York Federal Reserve. In addition, Bernanke said he made several calls to foreign central banks to carefully monitor the procedure.

New York Federal Reserve President Tim Geithner and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson was already on the Fed in New York when the senior Wall Street firms have begun to arrive.

Working the night to a written agreement Saturday to a consortium of banks Lehman support of the bad assets and sell the rest of the bank to Bank of America and Barclays. But sources said key elements of the transaction remains controversial Sunday morning. As indicated, the support of the banks' bad loans are balking at the amount of capital required of banks and they have supported a large part of Barclays and Bank of America.

The largest group was divided into several working groups to develop responses to different results. Among them is the way markets can prepare for the possibility that Lehman could not find a buyer before Monday.

Palin's Project List Totals $453 Million

Last week, the Republican presidential candidate, Senator John McCain said that his running mate, Alaska, Gov. Sarah Palin, did not seek or affect special interest spending of Congress, serving as a fiscal conservative. But the administration of the State Gov. Palin has the American taxpayer to finance $ 453 million in projects from Alaska in the past two years.

These projects include more than $ 130 million in federal funds that could benefit from the Alaska fishing industry and another $ 9 million to help oil companies in Alaska. It has also requested $ 4.5 million to improve an airport on an island in the Bering Sea with a year-round population of less than 100.

Gov. Sarah Palin has more than 130 million dollars in federal funds for the fishing industry in Alaska.

Senator McCain, the fight against wasteful spending and provides a central point of his campaign. He has never tried to withdraw his state of Arizona and vows to veto pork-barrel spending bills to his office as president, says these projects to go through the normal budget review. And he decided the argument that states that they are often the financing of major projects.

"If they are good projects, they can be admitted and opened in a New York minute, he says on his campaign bus earlier this year, before Gov. Palin to the ticket." If they are worthy projects that I know they are financed. "

During an appearance Friday on ABC, The View, "said Senator McCain Gov. Palin's vision, and has not asked Congress allocates." Not as governor, she did not, "he said.

In fact, in the current fiscal year, is seeking $ 197 million for 31 projects, records show. In the previous year, the first year in office, she requested 256 million dollars for dozens of other projects ranging from research on redfish and port attached genetics and sanitation in rural areas of obesity prevention. In comparison, his predecessor, Governor Frank Murkowski, asked more than 350 million dollars in its last years of his mandate.

The McCain campaign said Sunday that the governor Palin is generally one of the budget discipline. "His case is to reduce the number of applications for the allocation of the previous administration sizably," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds, the state has a veto unnecessary spending.

What Senator McCain comments on television on Friday, Mr. Bounds said: "If he gave viewers a wrong impression, certainly not the intention."

In an interview with ABC News on Friday, Governor Palin itself suggested that it is no longer to his condition. "The abuse of the reserves, American United Nations, it is undemocratic and it will not be accepted in a McCain-Palin administration. Book abuse stops."

If you press the record as governor, she said: "We have drastically reduced our request to reserve since my arrival in power. That's what I said residents of Alaska for those years that I was in power, is more".

The success of Alaska with the reserves is partly due to the power of Senator Ted Stevens, the top Republican in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The state of the attention in part because the state government is one of the richest in the United States Flush with oil and gas royalties, it is not to impose income tax or sales. In fact, the flow of money in the other direction: every man, woman and child this year, a check for $ 3200.

The McCain campaign is also under fire for his remarks on the stump and in television ads Gov. Palin killed the controversial "Bridge to Nowhere", $ 223 million reserve linking the mainland to an island with a low population density. In fact, they project initially and killed after he was widely criticized and Congress allowed the state to use the funds for other projects.

On the campaign, Governor Palin has repeatedly attacked Senator Obama on the reservation. "Our opponent has invited nearly one billion dollars in the reserve of three years. This is about one million euros for each working day," she said during a rally in Albuquerque, NM

Senator Barack Obama called for a total of $ 860 million in reserve in his Senate years to taxpayers based on common sense. This does not apply to $ 78 million for projects that are national in scope and was asked by many legislators. Senator Obama stop put all affect applications in fiscal 2009.

It is difficult to compare Senator Obama affect register with Governor Palin - States differ in size, for example, and both candidates have different roles in the process. But using the same calculation that the campaign of McCain, the total amount of dollars, divided by the number of working days so that each held office (assuming a five day working week for both), asked the governor Palin $ 980000 per day, compared with about $ 893000 for Senator Obama.

M. Bounds, spokesman for the McCain campaign, said this "apples and oranges, because Senator Obama has asked Governor Palin, and because it has the ear applications.

LA: Audio Sheds Light On Deadly Train Wreck

Federal investigators said Sunday that records audio from a commuter train needed missing verbal safety between the engineer and leader in the seconds before the train collided with a freight engine, 25 dead.

Records obtained by the National Transportation Safety Board Metrolink dispatch center, the engineer and the chief called and confirmed light signals along the road, but the tapes are missing this call and response for the last two fires passing of the train just before the sinking of the fire, said Kitty Higgins, director of the NTSB.

Investigators also determined Sunday that train did not stop at red signal finally, making the train on a track where the Union Pacific freight traveling in the opposite direction, Higgins said during a press conference. The announcement confirmed earlier statements Metrolink spokeswoman Denise Tyrrell said Saturday that the engineer who walked the red signal and caused the accident.

NTSB experts are also plans for the mobile phone records of two teenagers and the engineer, who died in the accident, after the teenager told KCBS-TV has received a message from the engineer to 4: 22 pm Friday. The disaster took place moments later.

Higgins said that his institution is still not ruling out any possible cause of the collision. She said usually an investigation into a train accident last one year.

"There are a lot of things. In every accident I was concerned, it has never been a major factor. I call it the perfect storm. We try not to jump to conclusions," said Higgins.

The accident Friday was the nation worst rail disaster in 15 years. Besides the 25 deaths, 135 injuries, many critical, when the Metrolink train with 220 passengers cylinders in a Union Pacific freight train north of Los Angeles.

Higgins said the conductor and engineer were invited to call signals to each other as the train moved, but there was silence on sound recordings as the train passed a red light or yellow Last tag.

The couple has asked the light just right for these two, or a flashing yellow light signals approach.

"We did not register a Callout or confirmation of these two signals," she said.

She warned, however, that the train in May in a dead zone where the recording was interrupted.

Higgins said the NTSB for measuring the distance between points along the track on Monday.

She also said investigators wanted to talk to the chef, who was wounded in the shooting.

"It will be able to tell us if he recalled the engineer of the profession and the confirmation of these signals," she said.

Higgins said experts are still examining whether the signal was working properly and were Metrolink engineer in the line of sight. Investigators will also examine the data to ensure that the signals are fully operational.

But she stressed that obedience to signals on the runway was an engineer, their responsibilities at the head of a train.

"My view is that it is very unusual for an experienced technician to run a red light," she said.

Metro Link said earlier Sunday that a dispatcher tried to warn the engineer of the train he was on the brink of collision with a freight train, but the call came too late. The sender has a driver at the rear of the train, but he had already crashed into the oncoming Union Pacific, Metrolink officials.

However, the NTSB report contradicts the Metro Link. Higgins said the dispatcher noticed something was wrong, but before he could contact the train, the conductor - who survived - called to report the wreck.

Higgins said she believed the crash could have been avoided with the technology that stops a train on the tracks when a signal is obeyed. The technology, known as Positive Train Control, is not in when the collision took place.

"I believe that this technology could have avoided the accident. If he signal the train is stopped. I saw the test. It makes a difference," she said.

Rescue teams recovered two data recorders Saturday of the Metrolink train and a data recorder and a video of the freight train. The video images of the future cameras and data recorders have information on speed, braking, patterns and whether the horn was used.

Two days after the accident, men wearing green and orange safety vests and walk the track on Sunday in an early morning fog, while others broke photos and climbed into the tank wreck of the car's front passenger.

There were no reports of deaths Sunday hospitals and the scene was cleared of the bodies, said Lt. Cheryl MacWillie County coroner's Office. Two other victims were identified, leaving only two of whose names were not released pending notification of family.

The collision happened at a horseshoe part of the track in Chatsworth, on the western tip of the San Fernando Valley, nearly 500 meters long tunnel under Stoney Point Park. There is a rail connection to one end of the tunnel where a train can wait for another, said Tyrrell.

Was the train in downtown Los Angeles to Ventura County. The impact broke the Metro Link engine to the rear, jamming deep into the first car.

It was the deadliest accident involving passenger trains since September 22, 1993, when the Amtrak Sunset Limited plunged off a trestle into a swamp near Mobile, Ala., moments after the blunder was damaged by a tug, 47 people died.

Nearly 2,000 Brought To Safety In Texas After Ike

The number of victims of Hurricane Ike rose to 25 in nine states Sunday as rescuers said they had registered nearly 2,000 people from the water streets and houses. Glass strewn Houston was placed under a curfew week, and millions of people on the path of the storm remained in the dark.

As the waters began with the indentation of the first hurricane to make a direct hit on a major American city since Hurricane Katrina, the authorities have planned to go door to door in the night to reach untold numbers of people across the coast of Texas , Which on both sides of the storm and are still in their homes, many without power or supplies.

Many of those who do the safety of buses without knowing where they would end, and without knowing when they can return to what remains of their homes, if anything.

"I do not know what I'm going back. I have nothing," said Arma Eaglin, 52, who was waiting for a bus to a shelter in San Antonio after leaving his home and wade through chest deep water with nothing but her clothes. "I'm confused. I do not know what to do."

The hurricane also hit the heart of the oil industry in the United States: Federal officials said Ike destroyed a number of production platforms, but it was still too early to know what it would have serious consequences for the oil and gas.

Ike was downgraded to a tropical depression as it moved to the people and left Midsection more trouble in its wake. Roads were closed in Kentucky as a result of fierce winds. In the north, to Chicago, dozens of people in the suburbs had to be evacuated by boat. Two million people without electricity in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.

Of the 25 deaths, five in the hardest hit barrier island town of Galveston, including a body found in a vehicle immersed in water at the airport. Many deaths are outside Texas as the storm slogged north.

Ike 110 mph winds and waves hit Galveston without electricity, gas and communications base - and officials estimated in May can not be repaired for a month.

"We want our citizens to stay where they are," a tired Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas said. "We must not return to Galveston. You can not live here now."

Houston, the fourth largest city, has been reduced to a paralysis of the neighborhood, in some places. The power is in the center of the office towers Sunday afternoon, and the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex, was spared and remained open. These places were under power lines.

Its two airports - including George Bush Intercontinental, one of the busiest in the United States - were to reopen Monday with service limited, but the schools were closed until further notice, and the business district was part.

Five people were arrested at a pawn shop north of Houston and charged with burglary in what sheriff of Harris County, the spokesman Capt. John Martin described as looting, but there was no generalization peak crime.

The authorities said Sunday noon that 1,984 people were rescued, including 394 by air. In addition to people who were literally pulled to safety, the figure includes those who have been affected by the crew as they waded through water trying to get dry.

Still others chose to stay in their houses along the coast of Texas, even after the danger of the storm had passed. There was no immediate Sunday to count how many people remained in their homes, or how many are in danger. The Red Cross reported 42,000 people were on the state and the Red Cross shelter Saturday night.

The search and rescue effort was the largest in the history of Texas, more than 50 helicopters, 1,500 researchers and teams of federal, state and local agencies.

Once the refugees safe and dry, there was another problem - where they go. Some buses are in shelters in San Antonio and Austin. Shelters in Texas scurried to find enough cots, and some arrived with little money and no idea what the coming days held.

From the town of Orange alone, near the Louisiana line, more than 700 people have tried to dry - "a heroic attempt to organize an evacuation that nobody had expected," said Mayor Brown Claybar.

Hundreds of people have been around a secondary school in Galveston, some with pets, overstuffed Duffel bags and medicine while waiting to board a bus to a shelter. Some did not know where they are and still not know when they can return.

"I have nowhere to go," said Ldyyan Jonjocque, 61, waiting for a bus with maintaining the straps of her four Australian shepherd dogs. She said she had to leave two dogs at home. She wept as she told officers his rescue in a dump truck.

The rescue teams pledged to keep searching until they knocked on all doors and planned to work throughout the night for the second day in a row. They were helped by a lower water, but there were constantly surprised when people sloshed ranks and cities.

Two people who took a flat-bottomed boat to look at a funeral home in the city of Orange, identified by the local cemetery and found dozens of coffins have jumped above the ground water. Only a fence to drag the area.

"I have not seen any bodies, coffins," said one man, Warren Claybar.

The storm also has a toll in Louisiana, where hundreds of houses were flooded and power outages that compounded the state struggling to recover from Hurricane Gustav, which hit on Labor Day.

In Hackberry, La, about 15 miles from the coast, the dismissed employees of a large shrimp boat off the road with a bulldozer, but the team had to stop because of the strong currents in water and see the difficulty of the road.

Ike, which more than 80 deaths in the Caribbean before reaching the United States, has slain seven people in Texas, including a 4-year-old Houston boy who died of poisoning by carbon monoxide from the generator of his family was used to power. Six people died in Louisiana, including a 16-year boy caught in rising water.

Two players were slain by a falling tree in Tennessee, Indiana had four deaths and two Illinois reported storm-related deaths. One person was slain in Arkansas when a tree fell on a mobile home and a tree fell on a house, a person slain in Ohio, where three deceased.

President Bush plans to visit the region Tuesday. On his trip to Texas, Bush said he intends "to express support for the federal government - on the one hand, sympathy and support from the other - for this recovery and reconstruction effort."

The oil industry would like to know how severe damage was inflicted to at least 10 production platforms destroyed by the storm. Characteristics of the size and production capacity of the destruction of the platforms are not readily available, but the damage was a fraction of the 3,800 platforms in the Gulf. By comparison, Hurricane Katrina destroyed 44 platforms.

As the remnants of the hurricane and listened to the north, heavy rains caused floods and power outages in parts of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.

More rain fell in Chicago on top of 6.6 inches Saturday, the teams and 30,000 sand bags placed along the Chicago River was 2 meters above the normal level Sunday. Forty people in the suburbs of Albany Park had to be evacuated by boat.

SWAT commander Sgt. Rodney Harrison and five other members of the Port Arthur Police Department have 2 1/2-ton truck in the waters, looking for victims in Louisiana Sabine Pass, near the border Sunday morning.

The waters were so intense and roads blocked, so that the gear broke in the hand of the driver. After two hours of struggle, the team had little to show for their work than others sopping clothes and exhaust stripes faces. They dodged an even alligator.

"You have people who have families that their home life on the line to come here and save someone a bad decision," said Harrison. "I do not think the law. I do not think fair to everyone."

A Massive Hurricane Ike Ravaged Southeast Texas - Galveston

Ike a huge hurricane ravaged southern Texas early Saturday, Batter the coast with rain and fierce winds that decided that the residents too late, they should have heard calls to evacuate appealed in vain for relief.

Although this would be the beginning of the storm toll was already clear, the damage has been significant. Thousands of homes were flooded, roads were washed away and several fires have burned without the crew could not reach. But the greatest fear was that thousands of people are entered for the relief flight would be submerged houses and neighborhoods.

"The sad truth is that we should go ... and our people in difficult circumstances to save people who have not chosen wisely. We will probably be the largest search and rescue operation ever conducted in the state of Texas," says Andrew Barlow, spokesman for the Governor Rick Perry.

The eye of the storm powered ashore at 3:10 am EDT Galveston with 110 mph wind, a strong Category 2 storm.

More than 1.3 million customers - 2.9 million people - lost power, and warned suppliers could be weeks before all service was restored. There was also concern wind could break the windows of skyscrapers that the sparkling profile of the city America's fourth largest city. Forecasters said the worst winds and rain will come after the center came ashore.

Although 1 million people fled the coastal residents near where the storm was landing, the three countries said only about 90,000 remained. As the storm front moved to Galveston, fire crews rescued nearly 300 people who changed his mind and fled at the last moment water wade through the execution of clothing and other goods.

"We do not know what we find. We hope to find people who are left alive," Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas said. "We keep our fingers crossed all the people who remained on the island of Galveston managed to survive."

Storm surge was pushing in the vicinity of an elementary school in nearby Johnson Space Center in Houston, where Mayor Bill White has made waves earlier with a bullhorn trying to force people to leave. Thousands of homes may be damaged, a spokesman for the mayor said, but it was too dangerous to go out and collect the district at the height of the storm.

A historic restaurant, Brennan's of Houston, was destroyed by a fire when firefighters were thwarted by a strong wind. The restaurant was an institution in the city center for more than four decades.

On the side of the far east of Houston, Claudia Macias was raised with her newborn and was tried in vain not to think of swaying trees outside its doors, wind or through its lively windows. She had been through other storms, but this time was different, because it was a new mother.

"I do not know who sleep here tonight, maybe the baby," said Macias, 34.

Before joining the shore, the storm about 600 miles, almost as big as Texas itself. As a result of the hurricane size, the shallow coastal waters and largely unprotected coastline, forecasters said the biggest threat would be flooding and storm surges, with Ike should launch a wall of water two storeys high - 20 to 25 meters -- the coast.

The fire left three buildings in Galveston burn because the water was too high for fire trucks to reach. Six meters of water collected in the Galveston County Court House, on the island of Montreal, according to reports on the storm National Weather Service Web site.

But there was some good news: a freighter failed with 22 men aboard, they have the bulk of the storm safety, and a tug was on the way to save them. And an evacuee Calhoun County gave birth to a baby girl in the toilets of a shelter with an expert in the field of geriatric psychiatry, who delivered her first baby in two decades.

"It's a bit like mounted on a bicycle," Dr. Mark Burns told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung after he helped Ku Paw pleased with his fourth child.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said more than 5.5 million prepackaged meals are sent to the region, with more than 230 generators and 5.6 million liters of water. At least 3,500 FEMA agents were stationed in Texas and Louisiana.

If Ike is just as bad as feared, the storm could travel up Galveston Bay and send an increase in the Houston Ship Channel and the Port of Houston. The port is the country's second largest, is economically vital and complex of ports, pipelines, depots and warehouses that receive, cars, consumer electronics, industrial equipment and other goods across the world and on ships large quantities of petrochemicals and agricultural products .

The storm could also force the water up to seven bayous by wire Houston, flooding neighborhoods to flood, that they are flooded during ordinary storm.

The oil and gas industry was almost Ike, because it was addressed to the nation's largest refineries and petrochemical plants. Wholesale gasoline rose about $ 4.85 per gallon for fear of shortages.

Ike is the first hurricane hit a metropolitan area of the United States since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans three years ago. For Houston, it would be the first major hurricane since Alicia in August 1983 came on earth Galveston Island, killing 21 people and caused 2 billion dollars of damage. Houston has a population explosion, many residents of the now in the storm track has never experienced anger, full of a hurricane.

Although Ike's Center was to Texas, gave birth to the storms, the closure of schools and knocked on the power in the south of Louisiana on Friday. An estimated 1,200 people were in shelters in Monroe and Shreveport, and another 220 in the medical needs shelters.

In the south, near Houma, Louisiana, Ike breached dikes and flooded more than 1,800 homes. More than 160 people had to be rescued from the site of severe flooding, and Gov. Bobby Jindal said he expects the numbers to grow. In extreme cases, residents of low water, where communities have continued to rise continued to refuse the help of the National Guard to flee their homes, authorities said.

One of the dead was a policeman Los Angeles, and later in the evening, officers and sheriff's deputies formed lines in the vicinity of the wreck and was hailed as one body was packed past.

The accident "a terrible sound, like a bomb, a huge noise," said Julio Pedraza, 35, who lives and works in a horse near the boarding facilities. He said he saw the passengers from the wreck, and others, and he helped the wounded, including one with peeling the skin of his forehead.

"They were screaming for help and tears," Pedraza said in Spanish.

Firefighters treated the wounded yard three areas in the vicinity of the wreck, and helicopters flying in and near landing area on a medical evacuation flights.

The rescuers worked on the roof of the wreck and through holes in the car of the victims. Dazed and injured passengers seated on the ground and ground on both sides of the track.

Surgeons were sent to the scene.

Ms. Stephanie Hall, chief physician in Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, said three people in critical condition - two females and one male - were treated in the hospital.

"These are tremendous injuries," she said.

Seven men and one woman were taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. "We are, we hope to get through the night with all the survivors of their injuries," said Dr. Mark Morocco. Eight others were transported to cedars-Sinai Medical Center. None of their conditions were immediately known.

A male passenger told KNBC-TV he Metrolink aboard the train in the suburb of Burbank and spoke with another passenger when the accident occurred.

"In an instant, I was at my friend from the tower. It was so fast. It was devastating," he said. The man was visibly injured, but could walk with the help of firefighters. The man said he was involved in a devastating 2005 Metrolink crash in Glendale and was in conversation with other passengers during Friday's accident took place.

Trains collide in the Chatsworth area of the San Fernando Valley.

Metrolink spokeswoman Denise Tyrrell said there were 220 passengers on board the passenger train, with a driver and driver.

"I do not know what the cause of the disaster. It is clear that two trains are not supposed to be on the same track at the same time," Tyrrell said that erupted in tears and trembling.

The speed limit for freight and passenger trains on the part of the track is 40 mph, Tyrrell said, and if both trains traveling at the border they beaten with a total strength of 80 mph.

Tyrell said Union Pacific told her that four crew members on the freight train, which was a "local" from Oxnard and a trip to Chatsworth.

The status of the crew of the cargo was not immediately known.

Union Pacific spokesman said Zoe Richmond, than it is in California for freight and commuter trains share the same path.

"You see a lot in California, where commuter trains share tracks with freight trains," she said, adding that she could not speculate on the cause of the crash.

Tyrrell said the Metrolink train left Union Station in the center of Los Angeles and was headed north-west of Moorpark in Ventura County.

The accident occurred in an area where the tracks form a "U", approximately 2500 meters wide. At the top of the curve is 500 meters long tunnel that runs under the Stoney Point Park, popular with climbers for its large boulders.

On the north side of the rail tunnel is connected with a length of the track where trains can wait for another, said Tyrrell.

The area where the accident occurred, which is used by freight and commuter trains, has a reputation for difficulty, said Najmedin Meshkati, a professor of engineering at the University of Southern California.

"This piece of the track - 18 miles - had lots of accidents at railway crossings, many other accidents in the past 10 years," Meshkati said.

The federal investigation into the accident will be conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board, said Steven Kulm, a spokesman for the Federal Railroad Administration. The FRA will proceed with an investigation into whether a federal rail safety rules were violated, he said.

When asked about how the two trains ended up on the same track, Kulm said, "We are still far from all the information."

The overthrow of cars is part of a Bombardier black and white coach, which are often used for regional railways. Each double-decker car is about 16 meters high and 10 meters wide and up to 160 passengers, depending on the configuration.

The worst disaster in the history of Metro Link held on January 26, 2005, in the suburb of Glen Dale, when a man parked a petrol soaked SUV on the tracks. A Metrolink train derailed and beaten the SUV, hitting another Metrolink train traveling in the opposite direction, 11 people slain and wounded about 180 others. Juan Alvarez was sentenced this year for the assassination cause of the accident.

Sarah Palin Convention Speech: "It Went Very Well"

The controversy over Bristol Palin daughter of pregnancy gave Republicans the chance to railroad the media Wednesday night.

The night formerly known as the Night of the Three Republican National Convention was devoted to "The reform and prosperity." But even more important was the party and the country, first significant look at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who in no time has become not only a national politician, but a controversial figure and a symbolic import.

It was the night of its history, the way they care to talk teleprompter: "But we'll see, because we are open-minded about what we will be to anticipate," CNN Wolf Blitzer. Far from being an obstacle to the event, the unexpected news of the pregnancy Palin Bristol is a gift, both for the party and the press. It is a projector on a favorite Republican enemy, "the media", in which criticism of slightly more than they deserved, for a story about a story. And he gave the press, which was boring for a convention, both a story and the operation of a new opportunity to talk about themselves.

Mitt Romney, the parade of former opponents who have preceded Palin. It was a little dour and warmongering. Mike Huckabee followed, measured and somewhat humorous and pastoral. He opened with a good joke: "I am very happy to speak here on behalf of my second choice for the Republican candidate for the presidency."

Rudy Giuliani later stand-up comedy routine had another, much sour tone, even his statement that Barack Obama was the emergence of "remarkable" played like a chain reaction. (Never have the words "community organizer" is pronounced in this horror as they were Wednesday evening in St. Paul.) It was frequently interrupted by chants of "USA" and other things I could not do that.

Palin immediately followed Giuliani, his introductory video nixed to save time. It is expandable, but in any case, as his speech at the same time a family album and a clarification of his case. They very well with the teleprompter, given the speed with which it has been hustled in this position. He secured an impressive performance, both friendly and brutal people into the ranks.

When Palin was up to the end of McCain and his wonderful family - it looks like Grandpa in this mixture is perhaps not a bad thing - it is difficult to see how it could be a valuable asset to the campaign.

Google Chrome - The GBrowser Vs Mozilla Firefox

Undoubtedly, Google, in addition to the open source browser - known as the "CHROME" - is under pressure from other open source browsers such as Firefox. It can be a devastating blow to Firefox, which has accrued and has about 18 percent market share away from the Internet Explorer browser in a short period of time.

Although Google is a fervent supporter of the Mozilla team, it seems that the online giant has decided to take on Microsoft with a complete portfolio of web applications, instead relying on other open source projects to fill in gaps. Could this explain the recent release of Mozilla vice president, engineering Mike Schroepfer on Facebook?

Or is it a prelude to the takeover of Google Mozilla? Google finally, was recently extended funding of Mozilla and someone must have been informed that Chrome. In a recent blog reflective on Mozilla 10 years, Mitchell Baker stressed the support of Google as an important indicator for the success: "Another important element is the financial resources Mozilla enjoys. We have to renew our agreement with Google for a period additional period of three years. This agreement is now an end in november 2011 instead november 2008, we have the stability of income, "Baker wrote."

Chrome, which facilitated the launch of a beta test today is a very comprehensive open source Firefox browser and is unique in several respects.

Firstly, they have a specific function of shipping known as Incognito, which allows users to navigate in total privacy. There is no record sites visited or any aspect of the Web session. (Firefox is preparing for this feature in FF 3.1, but it's not there yet).

Google has the tab-style navigation metaphor used by Mozilla and Microsoft to a new level. Chrome user interface features tabs at the top, instead windows using tabs. The research group - called a omnibox - is the URL box at the top of each tab. Some pop-ups can be attributed to each tab to protect the integrity of each process. Just as Mozilla and Adobe AIR Prism, Chome allows Web applications are launched in their own window without the Web search bar for Web applications to run alongside the software at the same time.

Chrome also multi-process and includes a virtual machine Javascript.
Multi-support has been said that a significant improvement in the stability of the browser, because it can support multiple Web applications at the same time and isolate any process in its own tab. If a web application crashes, for example, would not in the browser together - all corrupt tab. Surfers can begin a process in a tab and ga at work in another. The V8 Javascript Virtual Machine is designed for speed and supports the largest web applications today.

Chrome Google also has an open source rendering engine known as Webkit, the same engine used in the Google Android. This will undoubtedly easier to integrate Google next mobile platform - Android - Google Desktop, now equipped with its own browser. That can not be good news for Firefox "Fennec" team.

Larry Dignan of ZDNet show perhaps that Google and Mozilla are working together as a team tag defeat of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google May and perhaps buy the team from Mozilla Firefox and the integration of the two bases for a code punched Kock Microsoft 's Internet Explorer. Mozilla browser, Google Labs? Given the close cooperation of both projects, it is more than possible.

If not, but the beginning of Chrome can not be good news for Firefox. Google has so dynamic market that is not necessarily the best open source Firefox browser to move. And at first glance, Chome seems pretty good.

What The Bristol Palin's Sexologist Say

First things first. Full details: I am pro-comprehensive sexuality education for choice (I think that people are entitled to their choice when it comes to their bodies) for same-sex marriage, and I firmly believe that faith is not a place in public education. And quite frankly, the appointment of Sarah Palin excites Obama me as a fan, but he scares me crap, as a woman.

When I was sixteen, two years before I had sex for the first time, I made a free sheet with the words "Support vaginal Pride," plastered across the front. I had chosen, sticker on the choice of rally somewhere in 1992. I am always been pro-choice in theory, but until you became pregnant with my son, I do not have any idea how to choice-I really do not. Although I love my son, pregnancy is excruciating for me. I was depressed, daily haul of twenty weeks, uncomfortable, my body felt like it does not belong to me, and I tried to become pregnant! I could not imagine that you go through this (let alone raising a child at the end) if I am not ready physically let alone emotionally. Although pregnancy is right for me to a certain point in my life, it certainly is not good for anyone, especially a teenager.

Going through with the pregnancy - whether the fetus with special needs or not - not even women characters. This makes it not brave. What is courageous is honest with them and determining whether or not you are able to yet another life in this world and unconditionally to care for him. He is as brave and fair to acknowledge that it is unable to care for the baby, and so decide to stop. Palin is not martyr. To make sure that no place on pedestal of their activities. It made my decision and many other women, make them. I am a fan of all elections and Palin is not better than anyone else.

However, from a political point of view of gender equality, Palin is terrifying. Sarah Palin is anti-choice located on board. She did not believe in abortions for girls and women who are victims of rape or incest.

As for Bristol Palin, manager of a pregnant 17 - the age, it follows the footsteps of many girls this year, still another event, the prize of pregnancy. I do not know when he became the fashion for girls to forgo protection is knocked and refuse to consider the possibility of termination, but clearly our policy on reproductive health and sexuality education services (especially abstinence only movement) have made large damage to our youth. Very frankly this incident highlights the fact that Governor Palin adherence to abstinence-only until-marriage sexual education is the loss of time and money.

Let's try to remember that those of us who support a woman the right to choose not to imply that all women of the project and to end during pregnancy. We believe that every woman is entitled to its decision, and for some, this means that the termination, for others it means a continuation of the pregnancy. Ultimately, that I (and have all these politicians?), Koito suggest that women not able to do this? What is right for Palin (a questionably her daughter) was definitely not the right solution for everyone.
