LAKE PLACID - A Lake Placid man was arrested Thursday on allegations that he had sex more than once with a 13-year-old girl, which led to her getting pregnant.

Beginning in 1793, England and France were intent on crushing each other. For over 20 years they fought a war over territories staked out by both sides during the previous 200 years. The Americans, having won their independence only recently, entered the war in 1812 after many of their merchant ships had been confiscated or destroyed by the British.

An erupting Mount Redoubt exploded again at 4:31 this morning -- its fifth and strongest discharge yet -- sending an ash cloud to new heights, the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported.

Seismicity has declined greatly over the past 90 minutes, although activity is still well above normal background levels. Clouds continue to obscure the webcam view, and the sun will be setting soon. AVO continues to observe potential activity with satellite and radar data. An AVO observation flight this afternoon reported no sign of ash emission, but observed significant steaming from a new melt depression at the mouth of the summit crater near the vent area of the 1989-90 eruption.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were: 1. The invention of beer, and 2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer, and the beer to the man.

The federal indictment filed today against state Sen. John Cowdery revolves around the oil tax legislation pushed so hard by Veco Corp. and its executives in 2006.

She said she was encouraged that development in Alaska was being included in energy discussions in Washington, D.C. But she said she found it "ridiculous" that the nation's leaders, including the president, were pleading with Saudi Arabia to ramp up oil production while places in the U.S. were still off limits to drilling. "We're ready to tap these resources," she said. "We're ready to share them with the rest of the U.S."

From a State of Alaska press release: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decided today that the owners of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline - BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc., ConocoPhillips Transportation Alaska Inc., Exxon Mobil Pipeline Company, Unocal Pipeline Company and Koch Alaska Pipeline Company LLC - failed to prove that their 2005 and 2006 rates were just and reasonable.
