| Getaway car in "100mph police chase" - court
Shuck also pleads not guilty to dangerous driving on the A4440 Broomhall Road in St Peter's, Worcester, and on various lanes in the Norton and Littleworth area. Alarms went off at the DVLA office just before 11pm that night. An hour later PC Otun saw the Mondeo pull into the viewpoint car park. Because it suddenly left, he gave chase and told the jury: "I was doing in excess of 100mph near the St Peter's gardening centre and wasn't getting close to the Mondeo. Numerous items were thrown out. At the time I was fearful for my life." One object later recovered was the 18inch long metal safe. Money was later seized from a third man who has pleaded guilty to burglary, said Miss Crabb. PC Otun said at Hatfield Bank the Mondeo stopped and two rear passengers fled, one wearing a jacket with distinctive white stripes on it.
Paris in the City of Brotherly Love
Paris Hilton headed to a mall in Philadelphia yesterday to do some promotional work for her upcoming movie The Hottie and the Nottie. She played with one of our favorite toys, the fabulous Flip camcorder while she chatted it up with local radio stations. Paris also met lots of screaming fans, and when asked about her appeal, she said, "I think maybe it's because I'm real. People can relate to me. They see things that have happened in my life. And that I'm sweet. I feel that when you truly are a good person, it will shine through in your eyes - shine through from your heart to your eyes - and people will see that. Princess Diana, who I love, she had that." Somehow, "real" isn't the first word that comes to mind when we think of Paris, but we do give her credit for heading to the mall to meet fans instead of hitting the stores.
Hillary and the Feminine Gaze, Up Close and Personal
Let's imagine this book's concept—30 well-known women writers talk about how they “feel" about Hillary Clinton—applied to 30 male writers and a male presidential candidate. Adjusting for gender, the essay titles would now read: “Barack's Underpants," “Elect Brother Frigidaire," “Mephistopheles for President," “The Road to Codpiece-Gate," and so on. Inside, we would find ruminations on the male candidate's doggy looks and flabby pectorals; musings on such “revealing" traits as the candidate's lack of interest in backyard grilling, industrial arts and pets; and mocking remarks about his lack of popularity with the cool boys on the playground (i.e., the writers and their “friends"). We would hear a great deal of speculation about whether the candidate was really manly or just “faking it." We would hear a great deal about how the candidate made them feel about themselves as men and whether they could see their manhood reflected in the politician's testosterone displays.
Ex-Student Guilty in Mass. School Plot
After Nee and two of the other students came forward in 2004, authorities uncovered a hit list of students, school officials and police officers. They also found hand-drawn maps of Marshfield High School, computer files on bomb-building and a shopping list of weapons and ammunition. "There have been three school shootings in the last six days. You have to take these things seriously," Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz said. Nee, 21, was 18 when he, Daniel Farley and Joseph Sullivan reported that a fourth student, Tobin Kerns, was planning to kill students and teachers at Marshfield, in Brockton, south of Boston. They said the attack was to be similar to the 1999 shooting rampage at Columbine High School in Colorado that left 15 people dead. .
Microsoft-Yahoo: Search Marketing Trends That Matter
It's clear the focus of their sales efforts are with organizations that will use them across media (inclusive of TV, radio, print, online display, and search). Here's a secret to the Microsoft-Yahoo bid that everyone's overlooking. Yahoo is following close behind Google as they expand their "open" network and begin to leverage their content assets to drive additional sales outside of search listings. I'm not ready to predict that the focus on all things outside search will kill the golden egg -- but I'm also not ready to predict it won't. Search Engine Use in U.S. Won't Change As much as Yahoo and Microsoft try, they'll do little more than make a small dent in Google's U.S. market share. Hitwise shows the wide gap between Google and Yahoo-Microsoft in core U.S.
Fresh charges filed against Pataudi in hunting case
A city court in Faridabad on Monday framed additional charges against former Indian cricket team captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and his accomplice Shashi Singh in a Black Buck hunting case. Pataudi was arrested with seven others in June 2005 for hunting endangered Black Buck deer and was released on bail after three days in prison. Pataudi was booked under sections 9, 39 and 51 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Carcasses of a Black Buck and two hares were seized from his Gypsy vehicle at the time of his arrest. At the last hearing, public prosecutor BL Soni moved an application to add two more charges against Pataudi and Shashi Singh under the Arms Act, 1959. Judge Rajendra Singh Dhanda, after hearing both sides, decided the prosecutors' arguments were valid and charged both the accused under sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959.
Got Cupid? Common interests key to finding love
"Basically people need to have common interests and common goals in life and they (should be) good at communicating with each other," said limited licensed psychologist Joe Kuchenbuch at Battle Creek's Psychological Consultants of Michigan. Naturally, most people will look for someone they enjoy being around and who will help them move forward in life, but Kuchenbuch said it may take a year or more to get beyond infatuation. Take David Hunter, 28, and Colleen Ellis, 29. The Battle Creek couple dated three years before getting engaged. Hunter wanted to finish college before getting married, but admitted it took time learning how to communicate their true feelings. Ellis agreed. "There were some rough spots when we first started dating, but I think we've learned to talk to each other better," she said.

Foxy Brown All Ears About Early Release
Foxy Brown gets into an altercation with a neighbor' would be great front-page headlines, whereas 'Foxy Brown brings Christmas toys to 30 disabled children' would hardly be mentioned." While she hasn't had a chance to put that idea into effect while behind bars, the "Chyna Doll" rapper has been doing her best to "maintain her profession" since she landed on the inside in September. She launched a Website so fans could keep track of her comings and goings, however geographically confined, and proceeded with plans to put out a new album in November. Her work was interrupted, however, when she was sentenced to 76 days in solitary confinement after tussling with another inmate outside the ladies' dining hall, refusing to submit a urine sample for a mandatory drug test and verbally trashing some of the guards. Brown ended up spending 40 days in isolation before reentering Rikers' general population Nov.
A call was made last night for Scottish banknotes to be legally ...
The issue of legal tender isn't really a big deal here, it only refers to settling debts. As the act of offering payment to a retailer for a product or service is just that, an offer that can be accepted or rejected, Scottish bank notes are in much the same position as Bank of England notes, i.e. the retailer can accept whatever they like whether it is a Bank of Scotland note, a Bank of England note or a bottle of badger musk. It is ridiculous that Scottish notes are often rejected by retailers in England, however a change in law could be a bit messy for the reasons above. I think that a scheme to encourage retailers to be sensible in their payment policies implemented by chambers or commerce, FSB or even Trading Standards would be a better route. .
Spirit Settles into Winter Spot, Opportunity Descends Deeper into ...
The story is far from over. The scientific data collected by Opportunity and Spirit will keep scientists on Earth busy for decades to come. And hope for Martian life, past or present, is not lost, not yet anyway. There are other locations still be studied onb Mars. Women Rule The MER mission, meanwhile, roves on and last Friday, February 22, the team made history in a new way. The entire tactical operations team for the mission, both onsite at JPL and offsite at the various remote institutions, was comprised of women, one of the premiere topics in Emily Lakdawalla's Planetary Society Weblog today. "It was fabulous," admitted Cindy Oda, mission manager. "You know the joke about women drivers. Well, we were joking the whole day that now women are driving on Mars, commanding rovers." Truth told, the guys couldn't help but tease them a little.
