CNN --Hamas leader Ismail Haniya denounced the Annapolis summit in a televised address Tuesday. "The Palestinian people will not be bound by anything the Palestinian Authority agrees to in Annapolis," he said.

Неслучайное слово в этом посте знаете какое? Аннаполис.

U.S. officials are looking for a commitment by the Palestinians and Israelis to carry out previous agreements linked to the "road map" plan for Mideast peace.

Увы всем нам.

Chicago Tribune -- "It's just sad and terrifying that we're still dealing with this type of violence," U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a co-sponsor of the legislation, said at a roundtable held in Chicago. The bill was approved by the Senate in September and still needs approval by the House.

The bill would make some crimes -- such as drug trafficking and street gang recruitment -- committed by gang members eligible for federal penalties, including time in the federal prison system.

Сенатор Дик Дурбин зрит в самый корень.

VALPARAISO, Ind. - A Valparaiso High School sophomore was hospitalized Saturday after consuming morning glory seeds to get high.

The 16-year-old boy's mother called for help around 11:30 p.m. because her son was hallucinating.

Although the seeds are legal, there is an additional danger in that many of the commercially packaged seeds are treated with a poisonous coating to deter recreational drug use. This coating can cause nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain. Это в целом хорошо известная вещь, а вот хотелось бы знать историю вопроса -- сами торговцы семенами подсуетились? Можно купить и нормальные семена, если знать, что делаешь. Вот на моем пакетике из первого попавшегося магазина (на посадку) ничего не написано, он отравлен или нет?

Но хорошая жизнь!!! Снаружи отравители, дома неграмотная мамаша.

Chicago Tribune -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. accused "unscrupulous lenders" of targeting minorities for high-cost loans in a "form of redlining and racial profiling." He pointed to a study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition that shows African Americans of all income levels in the Chicago area were more than twice as likely as whites to receive the subprime and ballooning adjustable interest rate mortgages that can be a prelude to foreclosure.

Вот организация, вот исследование.

Chicago Sun-Times -- A recent FCC report found that cable TV reaches enough U.S. subscribers to trigger a rule within a 1984 law that would give the agency significant new powers to ensure program diversity.

The cable subscriber threshold in dispute is known as the 70/70 rule, whereby 70 percent of U.S. households have access to cable and 70 percent of those households actually subscribe.

Federal regulators also decided Tuesday to postpone voting on a proposal that, if approved, would have required broadcasters to lease excess channels to small businesses owned by women and minorities.

Правильно, вот что надо регулировать! Может, наша безумная кондоминиумная ассоциация наконец от него отпишется.
