| Indiana Senate OKs pull-tabs in bars
Extraneous provisions inserted in the House about liquor liability insurance and advance deposit wagering at off-track betting parlors also were removed. All they are asking for is a fair, level playing field, said Sen. James Arnold, D-LaPorte, who presented the bill on behalf of sponsor Sen. Robert Meeks, R-LaGrange, who has been ill this week. He also went further, telling his colleagues to vote for the bill as thanks for previous campaign contributions. I think each and every one of us needs to do a little bit of self-inventory on this issue and think back over our long history of politics how many times we have called upon these people to step forward for us in the way of donations, in the way of prizes, in the way of helping us get to where were at today, Arnold said.

His death in October leaves a huge vacancy that the Haga-Press can only hope will never be duplicated in the future. Rankin as a Kootenai county commissioner and as an ombudsman for the citizens of the county for dozens of years was never appreciated by Duane Hagadone or the editors of his newspaper as he often held their feet to the fire on issues vital to the public. That the Coeur dAlene Press now chooses to omit any mention of his passing in their top stories of 2004 is a badge of honor that Ron Rankin continues to wear. John Rook

Tioga DA asks appellate court to reinstate Harris verdict
Tioga County District Attorney Gerald Keene has asked a state court to reinstate a guilty verdict against Calvin Harris. On Wednesday, Keene mailed a 33-page brief to the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court, arguing that the judge's decision to throw out the second-degree murder verdict against the Tioga County businessman was incorrect, the district attorney said Friday. Keene declined to discuss the specifics of the argument laid out in the appeal. "The argument is that Judge Smith committed an error by setting aside the verdict," Keene said. The appellate court could reinstate the guilty verdict, or it could uphold Judge Martin Smith's ruling. If that ruling is upheld, Harris would be re-tried, Keene said. Harris, 46, was convicted last summer of killing his estranged wife, Michele, who disappeared in 2001.
9/11 Commission Purposely Set Up So 9/11 Staff Had Conflict of ...
Indeed, Lehman strongly implies that the Commission was purposely set up so that every single person involved would have a conflict of interest which would prevent them from conducting an honest investigation. Lehman himself is a textbook example of conflict of interest. In 1998, 9/11 Commission executive director Zelikow published an article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, entitled Catastrophic Terrorism: Imagining the Transformative Event. Some two years later, PNAC picked up the Zelikow language, saying that the campaign to convince the public to allow expanded use of U.S. military force around the world "is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor". Lehman was a member of PNAC, and a signatory to PNAC's plea for "a new Pearl Harbor".
'No mountain too tall, no river too wide'
AS HEATH Ledger's family head to New York, their tributes have revealed the heartbreak of losing a brother and son. Ledger's parents, Kim and Sally, and sister, Kate, are due to land in New York today. Kim Ledger will then accompany his son's body to Los Angeles, where a memorial service is planned, before returning to Perth for burial. In death notices published in The West Australian yesterday, the family spoke of losing "the most amazing 'old soul' in a young man's body". "We have observed you so determined yet quietly travelling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way no mountain too tall, no river too wide. "Our hearts are broken." The family said his true legacy would be his two-year-old daughter, Matilda, who arrived in New York on Thursday with her mother, Ledger's former fiancee, Michelle Williams.
Online Prostitutes Arrested In Williamson County
Women selling sex on Craigslist in Central Texas are on the radar in Williamson County, where undercover detectives have already made several arrests. Williamson County deputies said their sting began after a 17-year-old boy contacted an alleged prostitute from an ad on Craigslist. Craigslist is a popular community-based website launched in San Francisco that now has local community websites across the country. The site is used to by individuals to barter and sell goods and services. It also has an active job posting section. Investigators don't know what happened between the teenager and the prostitute. What they do know is the next day, two of the woman's associates came to the home to collect money. The teenager called police to report a burglary in progress.

FL was 55% Bush in 2004. Maybe many older Americans want liberal hand outs so it makes sense that McCain is their man. When you have limited income you pay very little tax so that is not a priority. Maximum freebees (that many never paid enough into to deserve) are the priority. Never mind if these programs (existing and future proposals) are economically unfeasible and would undermine good medical practices to a cattle trough socialist system. What happened to a FREE society? I hope the other states put McCain behind again. Less than 2M FL REP votes have such an influence is crazy. Why don't they debate all the issues fairly w/ many candidates. Then have primaries on the same day accross the country. That way you vote your mind and don't have to factor in who may win or not win...
WILL’S WOMEN - Catch Shakespeare’s great heroines all on one stage
For a guy who wrote in the late 1500s to early 1600s, William Shakespeare was sure in touch with his feminine side.Some Shakespearean scholars call the Bard a feminist for painting such layered and complex women like Cleopatra or Katharina.Others say he portrayed women as victims - most end up murdered, mad or suicidal, like Desdemona or Ophelia.No matter which school of thought you subscribe to, Shakespeare was a masterful storyteller, weaving tales of murder, mystery, deceit, sex, lust and intrigue long before Dynasty'' or Desperate Housewives.''Desdemona was murdered by her husband, Othello, because he suspected infidelity. Ophelia, Hamlet's sweetheart, went crazy and drowned. Cleopatra is the role many scholars consider the most complex of the Bard's women - she's a diva with the characteristics of a tragic hero.Shakespeare's women are immensely complex characters,'' said Rebekah Maggor, who wrote and performs in the one-woman show, Shakespeare's Actresses in America,'' under way through Feb.
