Israel Warns of Disaster in Gaza
Fifteen rockets and a mortar round also landed closer to the Gaza-Israel border, causing no injuries. Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai told Army Radio that because of the militants' attacks, Israel had "no other choice" but to launch a massive military operation in the Gaza Strip. .
Doris Goodwin on Obama's Borrowings
In the days since Gerald Ford's death, so much praise has been heaped on the late president's blanket pardon to his predecessor, Richard Nixon, that you'd think Tricky Dick was Jean Valjean. These magnanimous pronouncements are a preening exercise in cost-free generosity three decades after the fact. They reflect little or no consideration of the merits of the pardon itself. No new information has emerged during the past 32 years that makes Ford's pardon to Nixon look any more justifiable; indeed, what facts have dribbled forth make it seem less so. (More on these later.) Nor can the pardon plausibly be considered an example of the bipartisan spirit for which Ford is justly, if too extravagantly, praised by Washington insiders. The pardon may have had the long-term effect of tamping down partisan warfare between Democrats and Republicans over a possible criminal trial (obstruction of justice would have been the likeliest charge), but when a Republican short-circuits prosecution of a fellow Republican, you can't call that bipartisanship.
On the brink of the wild, Alaska's largest city grows up
Strip malls have replaced strip clubs, big-box stores draw more customers than bars and residential neighborhoods have supplanted the RV parks that once sprawled across the state's most populous city. Located in southcentral Alaska, Anchorage is the economic capital of a state more than twice the size of Texas."Anchorage has kind of grown up," said Alaska author and longtime resident Charles Wohlforth, who writes the annual Alaska travel guide for Frommer's. "It's left its adolescence and is becoming more of a mature city."The tumultuous years of oil-fueled booms and busts in the 1970s and '80s, have given way to two decades of steady growth, as Anchorage's economy has expanded to include burgeoning retail, health care and tourist industries. Since the mid-1990s, its air cargo hub has become one of the three largest in the world.
NORM: LV notables also get test notices
A number of high-profile locals, who had medical procedures done at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, have also been contacted, according to sources in the medical community. "Entertainers were among those notified," said a source. "It (the center) was the largest endoscopy group in town." About 40,000 patients have been advised to get blood tests due to possible exposure to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, because of the center's medical practices from March 2004 to Jan. 11. The center was closed by the city on Friday under an emergency suspension order. .
E-mail still ranks as top threat to U.S. industry
This isn't malware for the masses anymore," said Jeff Green, senior vice president, McAfee Avert Labs. "Cybercrooks have become extremely deft at learning the nuances of the local regions and creating malware specific to each country. They're not skilled just at computer programming - they're skilled at psychology and linguistics too." But with the skills evident in today's cyber crooks is authentication an answer and can learning how to better manage your mail help? The answer is yes on both points, but according to McAfee's Jeff Green, "We're in a constant chess match." IT-Business Canada reported last week Friday that the Quebec provincial police force arrested 17 hackers associated with running a one million-computer botnet that caused an estimated CAN$45 million in damage.
