...elect Obama's words are clear and I am comforted to hear them. Most of all, I think I can trust the government again. However it happened, so many Americans have lost faith in their leaders and their government's ability to stand for things noble and good. The previous Administration never apologized for its errors; it didn't seem to care what others thought of them. So I didn't care anymore. But now I do because I believe Obama listens and understands and has his heart in the right place. It's a gift, Mr. President. Thank...
...operating procedures. But the law has yet to be fully implemented. "We've done about 40% to 50% of what we need to do," said Jusman Djamal, Indonesia's transport minister, during a Jan. 12 press conference held in the wake of the country's latest deadly accident. The previous day, a ferry traveling from Pare-Pare on the west coast of Sulawesi island to the Indonesian city of Samarinda had rolled over in a storm. So far, only 35 survivors and two bodies have been found. Up to 330 people still missing are feared dead...
...Battisti and Naylor looked at the effect that major heat waves have had on agriculture in the past - like the ruthless heat in Western Europe during the summer of 2003 - and found that crop yields have suffered deeply.

Similar effects were seen during a major heat wave in 1972, which decimated farms in the former Soviet Union, helping push grain prices to worryingly high levels. If those trends hold in the future, the researchers estimate that half the world's population...
...recount would be worth the time and tax dollars, going so far as to say he would “step back” if he were in Franken’s position. Coleman’s current lawsuit contesting the election results now reveals the hollowness of his previous rhetoric. Even supposing that Coleman’s contentions are legitimate, he should have watched his mouth before or stuck to his guns and accepted the results of the recount without a challenge—now he looks like a liar, a sore loser, or perhaps both...
...Tony Blair and the buddy in question is George W. Bush. Later today in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, Bush is set to dole out a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Blair, Britain's former Prime Minister. Blair has earned the bauble - previous recipients include Nelson Mandela and Doris Day - "for [his] efforts to promote democracy, human rights and peace abroad," according to the White House. Blair's spokesman seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Blair is being feted as much for the exercise of hard power as soft, describing the medal as a "great honor...
