...honey Jaime King) and the mine owner's son Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles), who was Sarah's beau back in the previously awful day. To secure an R rating, the film has halved corpses, a fetus eviscerated from its victim's body and, possibly a first, a major role (local party girl Irene, played by the fourth-billed Kelly Rue) that requires humping, fleeing and screaming, performed entirely in the nude except for high heels...
...apparently has told Vladimir Putin. Last month the Russian government announced an increase in tariffs on imported cars, sparking angry protests from motorists. The move is meant to support a local car industry that temporarily shuttered factories because of withering demand. "Now that our producers are forced to slash production, I think it is absolutely unacceptable to spend money on acquiring [imported] foreign cars," Putin said. In Indonesia, the government is slapping import restrictions on about 500 items. Importers will require licenses and can only bring in the goods through specified ports.

But Oberstar is in constant contact with Obama's shadow Administration and, with the help of John Mica of Florida, the committee's top Republican...
...Still, Oberstar points out, "We're not going to substitute our judgment for local judgment. But I think there's enough sensitivity among state agencies that have real need, real benefit, and will have lasting service to the community." He then grabs a sheaf of papers from his desk. The printouts, which look like massive Excel spreadsheets, are a list of ready-to-go water projects in Minnesota. Stabbing at the sheets, Oberstar points to one item, a smallish request to build a sewage system for a tiny town in Minnesota. "I suppose someone from New York City...
