...Israel also ratcheted up the rhetoric, with Defense Minister Amir Peretz warning on Monday that every vehicle carrying a Hizballah-bound weapon from Syria would be targeted. Still, despite the mounting tension, neither side is looking for a fight...
...violence seared the pages of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer novels (the first, I, the Jury, was published that year), so they explode on the screen in Railroaded! In Mann movies, the broken bottle, not the gun, is the favored weapon of menace, perhaps because it's more sickeningly intimate. John Ireland, the film's primary thug, breaks a bottle and comes after Joe. Raymond Burr, Mann's inspired (and quite literal) notion of a heavy, had used one in Desperate, and he does it again in Railroaded!, breaking a bottle over...

When tracked by Nike + iPod, the movements of the elliptical appear slow, and the stride appears short (because the machine's up-and-down motion is not taken into account, nor is its tension).

Moreover, gas reserves are estimated to disappear within 66 years, but proven, extractable coal reserves could last for up to 200. "World coal reserves are not merely abundant, they are superabundant," Britain's Clean Coal Task Group claimed...
...that the Administration violated their free-speech rights by taking ?retaliatory action? after Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador to several nations, wrote an op-ed piece questioning a central reason for attacking Iraq: President Bush?s claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Niger to make a nuclear weapon. Presumably, the retaliation was the outing of Plame as a CIA official, but there?s room to debate how much harm came of that act. She didn?t lose her job or get demoted or suffer any other obvious damage. And even if the outing violated federal law (and there...
