WASHINGTON (AP) -- Global warming poses a "serious threat to America's national security" and the U.S. likely will be dragged into fights over water and other shortages, top retired military leaders warn in a new report.

New search engine hopes to provide alternative to Google By Michael Liedtke, Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO - Apostolos Gerasoulis has a message for everyone who relies on Google.com as an online guide: It's time to move on to something better.
