Guardsmen on smuggling charges
While the other two square off over "fairy tales" and the relative legacies of Dr. King and Lyndon Johnson, Edwards looks smart -- and substantive. Only a fool would count him out.How ironic that, after all the excitement about a woman in the White House, or an African American, race and gender politics could make it easier for Edwards to position himself as the democrat's best chance to win back the White House. .
And now, the snow report
Taggart said he spent an hour to digging out the heavy snow in the driveway of his Fern Valley home, which is in the upper reaches of Idyllwild. He said the wet conditions created extremely icy roads Tuesday after temperatures dropped below freezing. Chains were required on Highway 243 from Lake Fulmor, which is about 14 miles above Banning, through Idyllwild to Mountain Center. Roman Rodriguez, an information officer in the U.S. Forest Service Idyllwild station, said driving Tuesday was treacherous. "Black ice is all over the hill," he said. "There is ice below 4,000 feet." He said the 10 inches of snow on the ground in Idyllwild is not the soft stuff people love. "When you walk on it, it's like walking on ice clods," he said.
2nd-best, but not No. 1
Too much wind and warmth in October slowed the early bow harvest significantly. A harvest spike during rut pushed the preliminary bowhunting harvest to 64,217, just short of the 65,179 in 2006-07. The second firearm season was stunted by wind every day and a nasty storm the final weekend, but hunters still totaled the second-best harvest of 116,708 for both firearm seasons. But wacky weather in the Midwest -- and lots of it -- is only natural. The deer seasons are long enough to make some allowance for stretches of rough weather. The mind-bending cold weekend of the late-winter and CWD seasons didn't stop hunters from posting a significant jump to 11,506 and 883, respectively, from 8,892 and 808 in January 2007. Another 4,333 were taken in the muzzleloader-only season and 897 in the youth deer season.

Curbishley calls for rousing display
We have competed so far this year especially against the top four sides, and they have all been tight games. I hope we give the fans something to get behind. "We have to get on the front foot and attack it as much as we can. If we attack it right we'll give ourselves a chance." Liverpool have been hitting the headlines for off-field reasons so far this season, with the club's American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillette generating most of them with talk of buy-outs and replacing current manager Rafael Benitez with Jurgen Klinsmann. Curbishley believes that has not only undermined Benitez's authority but also tarnished the club's glorious reputation. He said: "I was lucky enough, or was that unlucky enough, to play against the great Liverpool sides and they just got on with it and won most things.
Price-savvy 'social epidemic' sweeps U.S. border
What has become a regular exodus of Canadians riding the strong loonie across the border is expected to peak later this week as U.S. retailers brace for the traditional Black Friday kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. In a way, the lineups of buses and cars that will flank border crossings as early as tomorrow is just one symptom of what one economist has diagnosed the "social epidemic" of cross-border price comparisons that has taken hold of the nation. .
The schools for success
What's interesting about this latest research is that it shows how each of the countries we studied has a different approach, but they're all systematic in how they provide sports schools. We're not." Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore and Sweden are the countries that feature in the report, which is the second major piece of research commissioned by the foundation, following last year's into Scotland's sporting culture. That report warned that Scotland's international sporting success was being held back as a result of the lack of an integrated strategy for elite sport and the failure to develop "cultures of excellence". It prompted the foundation to call for the reintroduction of competitive sport in schools - a campaign that won widespread support, including that of the then First Minister Jack McConnell.
