...chunk undecided. It's the kind of math the centrists like. Peterson would first have to vanquish Reno in the primary, which means, he acknowledges, taking on the onerous task of convincing Democrats that he can "appeal ultimately to a wider section of voters than Democrats." Still, unless they can transform Peterson into a more galvanizing pol or make Reno more appealing to Floridians above Lake Okeechobee, the Democrats look about as likely to win as the alligators that Reno's late mother used to wrestle--and beat...
...lead is August?s unemployment number, expected to come in at an upticked 4.6 percent. Economic types will remember that unemployment always rises coming out of a slowdown as well as into a recession, so even an unpleasant surprise like 4.7 or 4.8 doesn?t mean anything bad, necessarily. Unless consumers think it does. Other consumer numbers are folded into the report, namely average workweek and hourly earnings, and those?ll be the garnishes. And then there?s wholesale inventories for July - normally one to watch very closely, since those shelves have got to get emptied before...

And the object lesson here may be that although the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is of limited strategic importance outside of the Middle East, when left to fester it has a nasty habit of breaking out of those strategic boundaries...
...negotiations this week will apply only to scientists who work directly for the federal agency. But according to NIH officials, any agreement will serve as a future guideline for all researchers who get government stem-cell funding.

On the whole, he valued the experience. But if he could change anything about his teen years, he would want more interaction with people his age. "I don't date, and that's something I attribute to home schooling," he says. Or consider Rachel Ahern, 21, of Grand Junction, Colo., who never set foot in a classroom until she went to Harvard at 18. As a child, she socialized with older kids...
