...national discussion about racial profiling and sparking a media frenzy that ensnared even President Barack Obama. Police were tipped off by a passerby who says she saw what appeared to be a break-in at the home. But the individuals she saw were actually Gates and his car driver forcing their way through the professor's jammed front door. Police Sgt. James Crowley, who arrived on the scene to investigate, said that Gates reacted belligerently and refused to identify himself when asked, but Gates said that he cooperated fully and that officers had targeted him because he is black...
...same period. No, somebody - somebody young - must be enjoying this soul-sapping would-be comedy. Maybe I'm missing the wit in the Alvin 2 pileup of purloined plot points, toilet and fart jokes and tired references to old movies. (The "You talkin' to me" bit from Taxi Driver simply must be retired from overuse.) Or maybe kids aren't as cinematically precocious as I thought they were. (See the top 10 movies...
...best-selling newspaper El Universal rapidly accumulated more than 1,000 comments, the majority negative to the idea. Similar objections can be heard on the capital's streets.

And will Schumacher be able to adjust to the changes that have been made to the sport's rules since he last raced at the end of 2006? (For example, there are now limits to how many engines can be used, pit-lane speeds, starting weights and track testing.) Aylett believes Schumacher will do fine, saying he'll "come back in with fresh...
...cents per kilometer in 2012, with the tax going up every year until 2018, when it is expected to top out at an average of 6.7 cents per kilometer. So, for instance, a trip from Amsterdam to Eindhoven and back - a distance of about 250 kilometers - will cost the driver of a standard sedan about €7.5 ($10.75) in 2012. Rates will be higher during rush hour and for people who drive gas-guzzlers instead of fuel-efficient models. All the revenue will go toward improving road and rail infrastructure...
