More than 200,000 Ohioans who registered to vote this year for the first time or updated their voting information since Jan. 1 could be affected by the latest court ruling requiring the state to set up a new registration verification system by Friday, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said. Brunner said she would comply with the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling late Tuesday but said she is deeply concerned that the decision is a veiled attempt at disenfranchising voters...

CUBA has demanded the US return Guantanamo Bay to the island nation and denounced the "war on terror" prison, where six detainees could face the death penalty. Cuba's Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque claimed today that suspects held in the US naval base in the southeastern tip of Cuba have been subjected to torture and face unfair legal treatment. Cuba rejects "the violation of human rights, unjust incarceration of prisoners held there without charges, and their appearance in courts without guarantees and in which they are convicted in advance,'' he told reporters. He did not directly refer to the case...

The United Arab Emirates has impounded the cargo of a vessel bound for Iran after discovering that "hazardous materials" aboard contravened UN sanctions placed on the Islamic republic to curtail its nuclear development programme. In a further ratcheting up of the UAE's determination to curb misuse of its ports, an official there confirmed that the cargo, detained for testing last month, contained materials banned by UN Security Council resolutions 1737 and 1747, while the purchaser of the materials had also been barred by the same resolutions. But he declined to identify the contents of the cargo or the Iranian company...

PRINCETON, New Jersey (Reuters) - Societies should not rely on market forces to protect the environment or provide quality health care for all citizens, a winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for economics said on Monday. Professor Eric Maskin, one of three American economists to receive the award, said that he "to some extent" takes issue with free-market orthodoxy championed by U.S President George W. Bush and some other western leaders. "The market doesn't work very well when it comes to public goods," said Maskin, a slight, soft-spoken 57-year-old who lives in a house once occupied by Albert Einstein. Maskin,...

1) I've read on several sites that ALCMs and warheads are stored seperately. 2) Buffs haven't sat on the Tarmac loaded with Nuclear weapons ready to spank the russians/Chinese since the early 90s. My question is could some idiot back then have neglected to take the warheads off the missiles and Armed ALCMs sat in storage with rest of the unarmed ALCMs for 16 years?

Although Ahmadinejad did not elaborate how Iran could fill a...

QUEBEC (CP) - The Quebec government would like it in writing every time oil companies increase gasoline prices in the province. Natural Resources Minister Claude Bechard said Friday the move to limit price fluctuations at the pump will protect consumers against what he calls "unjustified" hikes. This comes just days after Quebec imposed a carbon tax on oil companies and other energy producers to finance its plan to reduce greenhouse gases. The carbon tax is believed to be the first of its kind in Canada. Bechard said that oil companies will have to provide a written explanation to the provincial...

JUNEAU -- A proposal for another big construction project is gathering headlines across the world. No, we're not talking about a $30 billion pipeline to send natural gas to the Lower 48. This is bigger: A $10 billion to $12 billion tunnel under the Bering Strait linking Alaska and Russia. And another $50 billion to lay railways to make the tunnel usable.

AP - China's 2006 global trade surplus jumped nearly 75 per cent from the previous year to a record $US177.5 billion ($A227.7 billion), a state news agency said on Wednesday in a report that could fuel US complaints about market barriers and currency policy. China's trade gap has soared as it became the world's low-cost manufacturing centre, churning out furniture, toys, shoes and other goods, often for sale under foreign brand names. The jump in the trade gap came despite a small but steady rise in China's currency, the yuan, over the past 18 months. Washington is pushing for a...

By Matthew Cardinale, News Editor and National Correspondent, Atlanta Progressive News (December 01, 2006) (APN) ATLANTA -- US Rep. McKinney (D-GA) told a recent audience of the film American Blackout that she had written up Articles of Impeachment for President Bush five years ago in 2001. It was her mother, Leola McKinney, who pleaded with her and convinced her "not to drop" the Articles in the US House, at the time. The act of writing up Articles of Impeachment is not difficult, the Congresswoman said. "You just write them on a piece of paper," she said. The stunning fact was...

ANNISTON, Ala. -- Field upon field of more than 1,000 battered M1 tanks, howitzers and other armored vehicles sit amid weeds here at the 15,000-acre Anniston Army Depot -- the idle, hulking formations symbolic of an Army that is wearing out faster than it is being rebuilt. The Army and Marine Corps have sunk more than 40 percent of their ground combat equipment into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to government data. An estimated $17 billion-plus worth of military equipment is destroyed or worn out each year, blasted by bombs, ground down by desert sand and used up...
