...action. As well as providing news of upcoming competitions, pro tips on bot-building and rules for entry, the site is one of the first to employ the new SVG graphics and animation file format that lets you customize your onscreen destruction machines. You can't make a complete blueprint or engage in virtual combat - not yet, anyway - but online brainstorming might save time when you get down to the nuts and bolts of building...
...This is a case about ethnic cleansing, persecution and genocide," prosecutor Dirk Ryneveld told judges in his opening statement. In their effort to create an ethnically pure Serbian state, prosecutors say Bosnian Serbs worked from a "blueprint for the commission of genocide," killing some civilians and terrorizing those who remained into leaving. They did that, say prosecutors, by attacking and then destroying their villages and, in particular, by detaining the survivors in three now infamous "concentration-style" camps: Omarska, Trnopolje and Keraterm. Prosecutor Dirk Ryneveld told judges the court will hear from some of the camps' survivors. Full Story...
That's what makes the immigrants so important. Vilsack has designated three towns as Model Communities. Their mission: to come up with a blueprint for recruiting immigrants from other states and refugees who might be attracted by Iowa's low cost of living.

Even today, some cadres remain unconvinced by the mansion's art-deco touches. "I'm not sure the building has enough historical value to keep it from being demolished," sniffs He Bing, a park project manager. A blueprint of what Shanghai's new urban heart will look like in five months is taped above his head. On it, the Pei house is gone. The only building that emerges unscathed is a nondescript gray affair that once housed the office of a Communist Party magazine. "Now, that building has real history," says He. The Pei home may house a family...
...There will be no Clinton-style laundry lists on Tuesday night, and certainly no lists of things Bush wants to cut. (Those, and there won't be many, he'll save for the small print of the blueprint he sends to Congress on Wednesday morning.) This isn't reform, or reinventing government - just keeping the message focused. Bush basically ran a four-part campaign - tax cuts, education, the military and honor/dignity - and he's already put off his Pentagon overhaul for a year. The honor-and-dignity thing is selling itself these days, which leaves tax cuts and education. Everything...
