She’s still in the project but tragedy happened the other day. According [...]

A new U.S. intelligence report concludes that Iran’s nuclear weapons development program has been halted since the fall of 2003 because of international pressure.
The finding is part of a National Intelligence Estimate on Iran that also cautions that Tehran continues to enrich uranium and still could develop a bomb between 2010 and 2015 if it decided to do so.
The conclusion that Iran’s weapons program was still frozen, through at least mid-2007, represents a sharp turnaround from the previous intelligence assessment in 2005. Then, U.S. intelligence agencies believed Tehran was determined to develop a nuclear weapons capability and was continuing its weapons development program. The new report concludes that Iran’s decisions are rational and pragmatic, and that Tehran is more susceptible to diplomatic and financial pressure than previously thought.
Some of the changes in the new report reflect the use of “open source” intelligence—public information from
It's a sad day in Bay County...A federal judge in New York issued an order Thursday afternoon temporarily blocking construction of the new Panama City-Bay County International Airport, said an attorney representing a local pilot’s organization opposed to the project.Read the whole story.In my opinion, it's a shame that the selfish agendas of so few are able to stand in the way of progress for businesses and residents of an area that deserve economic growth and prosperity.Panama City Florida, long known as a popular tourist destination, has been awaiting this airport for many years. This move by a federal court judge has the potential to eliminate the expected growth and economic opportunities the new International Airport promised for Bay County Florida.If the organization known as Friends of PFN (the airports 3 letter FAA designation) a local pilot’s organization, are successful in blocking the construction of the new International Airport, Bay County and the surrounding area ma
Sevilla are alive and kicking, contrary to popular belief that the departure of manager Juande Ramos to Tottenham will leave them in disarray. Arsenal found, much to their dismay, that the Spanish team can match them in quality attacking football. It is fair to say the masters were outclassed at their own game, especially in the second half.
In the first half hour, it certainly looked like another day in the office for the Gunners when they took the lead with a slick opener, featuring a neat back-heeled pass from the Emmanuel Eboue, a floating cross from Nicklas Bendtner and an opportunistic finish from Eduardo da Silva.
But Sevilla did not cave in. They held on for their dear lives when Arsenal threatened to overwhelm. The turning point came when new signing Seydou Keita produced a stunning shot from the edge of the area after Gilberto got careless with a clearance. Sevilla proceeded to take charge of the game as the shock of conceding the first goal in 384 unbeaten minutes in the Cha

North Texas feels the love on ‘Prison Break’ DVD11:24 AM CDT on Monday, October 15, 2007By JOE O’CONNELL / Special ContributorA map in the Prison Break production office shows where the television fugitives have ended up around the country, but it’s likely they need a second, smaller map of North Texas to track the production itself. That’s good news for local cast and crew awaiting the fallout of a potential writers strike. For the currently filming third season, Prison Break is packing up and shooting more outside of the area, but the show’s second season was almost entirely shot here, and the producers have included a little North Texas love letter on the season two DVD box set via a featurette called “Turning Dallas Into America.” “We knew we had to play a number of different locales across the country,” executive producer and writer Paul Scheuring says in the featurette. “We needed to have desert, a big city and a bayou. We needed to have wide-open plains an

Royal Dutch Shell Plc's plan to drill the deepest offshore Alaskan oil well was halted by a court to allow consideration of the project's effect on bowhead whales and other animals. A federal appeals court in San Francisco yesterday ordered the company's vessels to stop operating pending resolution of a request by environmental groups and Eskimo villages to require more research on their impact on marine wildlife. The court put on hold the U.S. Minerals Management Service's approval of the plan and scheduled an Aug. 14 hearing. ``Vessels currently located in the Beaufort and Chuckchi Seas shall cease all operations,'' the U.S. Court of Appeals said. The ships ``need not depart the areas,'' the court said. Shell, the world's second-largest oil company, has said it invested $200 million in the drilling program. It studied the effects on sea mammals and developed a plan to respond to oil spills, the company said. Further resea

Last night, the O’s inning streak ended at 6, as the Angels beat the O’s on the left coast in Anaheim by a score of 3-2 last night in a close game. The Orioles gave AL win leader John Lackey a challenge, but the Angels were able to make the most of the opportunities against Daniel Cabrera and earn the win.Daniel went a little over six innings, and got his 6th loss of the year although he had another good start.The Orioles offense was provided by a two-run shot by Miguel Tejada to start off the game, but after that Lackey showed why he’s one of the best in the game.However, the boys in black and orange could not make the most of having men on base, and K-Rod, Francisco Rodriguez earned the save.***The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebeic has a recap of last night’s game, as does the Washington Post as the Baltimore Examiner.If you didn’t know already, Brian Roberts has been scorching hot for the Baltimore Orioles, and is the catalyst for the team at the top of the lineup.
Chinatechnews.com confirms Tom online will go private. Shares of TOMO are halted today. This move certainly points to the dangers of investing in emerging market stocks. A variety of Chinese internet related stocks are lower today as well including BIDU, SINA, etc. This isn't on the level of China lifting its reserves ratios which sparked last week's Shanghai selloff, but shenanigans like this will put the Chinese market further out of favor of investors.
