...part of the Hendrick racing team, whose drivers finished in the top three spots in the NASCAR standings this year. Hendrick has more resources than any other team, and has been called the New York Yankees of racing. Do you feel you get the same kind of resentment that many fans feel towards the "big guys" like the Yankees who are able to outspend the competition? Not necessarily. Our fan base really respects what we've done as an organization. They respect Rick Hendrick. If [resentment] is a problem, we love it. It means we're doing our jobs...
...recession affected your team? Without a doubt, it has affected all teams. We have a long-term relationship with General Motors, and their restructuring certainly effected our organization.

Sweden's Tommy Tuvuynger and his team of professional hunters don't have to go far to find their prey. Tuvuynger is employed to keep down rabbit numbers in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

...strikes, by two U.S. fighter jets, killed some 142 Afghans near the northern city of Kunduz and continue to reverberate in Berlin. Called in by Colonel Georg Klein, then ISAF commander of the German-run Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) base in Kunduz, the operation was a rare moment of combat for Germany's armed forces, which mostly concentrate on rebuilding projects rather than chasing down Taliban fighters. Jung, who switched office last month following Germany's elections, initially claimed that only "Taliban terrorists" had been killed. But on Sept. 7 he conceded that there may have been some civilian casualties...
