...Durango. Car analysts at J.D. Power are predicting that by year's end, SUV sales will have posted yet another increase. At the luxury end, the jump could be significant: the hottest SUV on the market now isn't one of those crossover hobbits but the Hummer H2, a three-ton beast with the attitude and fuel efficiency of a battleship. The H2 has led the luxury-utility segment in sales since last summer; many dealers have months-long waiting lists of drivers eager to pay an average of $53,000 for them...

The FBI is sorting through all these conflicting stories, feeding them into its state-of-the-art Rapid Start mobile computer system, which can discern similarities in the accounts or subtle patterns...
...Thomas Akers and Kathryn Thornton -- are all veteran spacewalkers. Thornton, a nuclear physicist and mother of five, went on the 1992 mission that repaired the Intelsat communications satellite. On that flight, the 5-ft. 4-in. K.T., as the other astronauts call her, wasn't involved in wrestling the three-ton satellite into the shuttle's payload bay.
