...overcomes the odds to become a firehouse dog or a shepherding dog, I'm going to barf up my food and not eat it afterward. I've got some feelers out for some scripts with dog antiheroes, someone cool who loves his pups but has to kill people who harbor the pirated DVDs he sniffs out. Because it's what he's been trained to do. And because it's right...
...quite sure what it does, but in Sydney right now APEC is impossible to ignore. For its sake guards patrol the Harbour Bridge, dummy motorcades race through the streets, zoo animals are being moved to an island in the harbor so VIP wives can view them in peace, and a 3-m-high wall is going up around the Opera House. Even Sydneysiders who've missed the preparations know that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum Leaders' Week, which runs from Sept. 2-9, will be giving them a public holiday. It's the biggest event the country has held...
...various times in American history, public service and private effort went arm in arm. After Pearl Harbor, Rosie the Riveter and Uncle Sam exhorted people to help the war effort, and Americans responded.

The two parts were assembled in Texas, its 50,000 tons hoisted onto a ship, and sailed 15,000 miles around the tip of South America (it was too big to use the Panama Canal), arriving in Pearl Harbor in January 2006. Its ultimate destination is the more challenging waters of Adak, a farflung outpost in Alaska's Aleutian island chain, famous for terrible weather and 100-foot waves. The MDA claims the SBX is powerful enough to spot a flying baseball in San Francisco from New York, and more...
...Based X-Band radar will finally be up and running in Alaska is hard to say. Right now, the target date is early next year, but to Col. Fellows, pinning these answers down is beside the point. Sitting in his hotel room watching the white dome near the Pearl Harbor memorial put the system's goals in perspective. "People in Hawaii understand SBX because that's what we're trying to do - prevent something from attacking us without forewarning," Fellows says. "If we had been able to stop that, history would have been changed...
