...Monday, Toyota released preliminary findings related to its investigation into the case of James Sikes, the driver of a 2008 Prius who said his car ran away from him on a San Diego area freeway, an incident recorded in a 22-min. 911 call as well as by dramatic pictures...

In the U.K., there are no differences among the major parties on the country's Afghanistan policy - and certainly no big-name politicians calling for the 9,000 British troops to be pulled out. But that doesn't mean the U.K.'s newest voters won't have an opinion...
