| Bush noncommittal on troop cuts
We cannot take the achievements of 2007 for granted," he said. "We must do all we can to ensure that 2008 brings even greater progress for Iraq's young democracy." With Congress returning to work this week and a presidential election campaign in full swing, Bush set the stage for a renewed political debate this year over the Iraq war. As some brigades withdraw this spring and summer, the total number of troops in Iraq will remain at the level it has been almost from the beginning of the war in 2003, nearly five years ago. Bush said that additional withdrawals would depend solely on conditions in Iraq, which Petraeus is reviewing. During an 80-minute meeting, the president instructed the general, who is due to report in the spring on suggested troop levels, to make no recommendation that would jeopardize improvements in security.
Left-handed stormtroopers fight for ecommerce site
An ecommerce website specialising in products for the left-handed has enlisted Star Wars stormtroopers as part of its sales arsenal. The business was first established in 1968 as a shop in Soho and set up an ecommerce site in 2000. Around 13 per cent of the population is left-handed. By last year the site - www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk - was responsible for 80 per cent of the business' turnover, so when the lease came to an end this summer the company became a purely online operation. The company's director Keith Milsom explained: "We used to print a 28-page mail-order catalogue which was the main part of the business, but the cost of printing and mailing took quite a big part of the profit generated. With the internet it's so much easier, if we have a new product we can put it up on the site the same day.
Reunited, and it feels so good?
I don't know that he is taking less than he would get elsewhere either. It is more likely that he and Boras overplayed their hand and are now eating crow. I give the guy credit though. If I were him I would leave the yankees and their ungrateful fans far behind in my rearview mirror. The guy has had two MVP seasons and he still is not accepted by the yankee faithful. Kinda makes me think that he is simply taking the highest bidders money. .

Wow! First of all, I don't care if he is 13 or 16, Hispanic or American, he is old enough to know the difference between right and wrong and so is the teacher. She sexually abused a boy and that is that! As for his status as a citizen, I don't care how old you are, if you are here illegally and too lazy to become a citizen, you need to be deported until you can respect this country and our laws! It enrages me how people who are not citizens have more rights and priveleges than we do! What is wrong with this country?
