* I am totally against the government bailing out all these bigcompanies even the automakers. If they are making bad businessdecisions and losing their companies, thats their fault. Let themfile bankruptcy. Someone else will rise up and take their place. Noone rose up to help me when I filed bankruptcy. The government neverstepped up to help me out. It was my decision. n For all you chumpsso eager to pat Bill Stewart on the back: West Virginia should neverhave lost to a Conference USA team, should not have lost toColorado, should not have lost to Pitt.

WASHINGTON - A former Mississippi sheriff's deputy was arrested Wednesday in the 1964 slayings of two black teenagers who were long believed to have been kidnapped and killed by the Ku Klux Klan.

Until recently, Seale was thought to be dead, and the investigation into the two deaths had long been abandoned.
Seale was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon and was taken to Jackson, Miss. He is expected to be arraigned Thursday on …
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Football Hall of Famer Andy Robustelli, who played for the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams during a 14-year NFL career, has died. He was 85.
"He was one of the greatest players in franchise history, and one of the finest, most dignified gentlemen you could ever meet," Giants President John Mara said. "Andy was a man's man in every respect."
It wasn't immediately clear where and when Robustelli died. His death was first reported by The Advocate of Stamford.
The 6-foot-1, 230-pound defensive end played for the Rams from 1951-55 and the Giants from 1956-64, but his arrival in New York ushered in one of the greatest eras in Giants' …
Two suicide bombings that killed 42 at a popular Sufi shrine in Pakistan's east stirred outrage in this terror-scarred nation Friday. Several people blamed the U.S. presence in Afghanistan for spurring the attacks, while some faulted a minority sect that itself was viciously targeted weeks ago.
The bombings of Lahore's Data Darbar shrine, the burial site of a famous Sufi saint, struck at the heart of the moderate Islam most Pakistanis practice. The assault wounded 180 people and again demonstrated the potency of militant groups that are linked to but operate far from the northwest tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
Thousands of people had gathered late …
The single most underrated speed element today is the time it takes Web pages to load. That can be very frustrating when doing voting record and opposition research.
SPEED HAS PLAYED a key role with computers since the inception of the digital age in the 1940s. The very raison d'�tre of electronic machines is their ability to carry out computational procedures faster than humans.
But speed is not always what it's cracked up to be. On the other hand, speed is sometimes given short shrift. Understanding the differences can help campaigns and political organizations make smart PC buying decisions and smart Web site design decisions.
