| New boss Megson watches Wanderers
Not even bothered reading this propaganda, the truth is we are a laughing stock, and today im embarrest to be a Bolton fan, looking forward to the protest tonight just to get rid of some of this anger. I have spent the last 24 hours trying to come up with someone who is currently in a job at any league club who would have been worse, cant think of one, if anybody else can let me know. We are witnessing the demise of Bolton, with the idea of selling off its assets, clearing its debts and selling it off to the biggest bidder. DISGRACE. .
McCain ready for dirty tricks this time in South Carolina
Huckabee beat the Clinton machine in Arkansas four times so I'll let you answer that. Ed Rollins Reagan's Architect and now Mike's still likes donuts and booze and may be getting older and balder but his memory is still good and I think he's got one more winning campaign in him. Ed remembered Democrats prayed for the Republican nomination of B rated movie star and eventual Governor Ronnie Reagan in 1980 and their prayers were answered. I guess they forgot to pray about the general election for Reagan won with a landslide. I read a few days ago a headline on Drudge and elsewhere the Democrats were again in a “silent" prayer mode for another “B rated star" guy in this case the “Mike" guy called Huckabee who they want to be the Republican nominee. They better be careful what they pray for because he is clothed in the same clothe as Reagan a “Great Communicator and Chief"! I wonder if their prayers will be answered again.
Australians caught in fraud ring
BRAZILIAN police say they and US counterparts have broken a sophisticated international ring that made millions defrauding individuals and companies in Australia, Britain, Spain, the US and Asia. Thirty people were arrested in Brazil and two Brazilians were arrested by the FBI in Miami, the Brazilian federal police said. The network, whose base of operations used to be an office in Sao Paulo before moving to Buenos Aires, employed telemarketers of various nationalities to flog non-existent investments on financial markets. "The gang used technology to set up (internet) sites of fake mergers and acquisitions companies, and US and Asian regulatory agencies, as well as various contracts and documents to fool foreign owners of shares with low liquidity,'' police said. Victims were lured with offers high returns - but first had to deposit funds to cover "brokerage fees and taxes''.
Fischer faces council challenge from businessman Ivie
FARMINGTON — Since announcing his candidacy for City Council District 2, local business owner Dennis Ivie has attended City Council meetings and met with department heads in city government. "We usually just hear about the hot spots, but it's been really nice to visit with the top employees," Ivie, 59, who also serves on the city's Planning and Zoning Commission, said. "I have a totally different perspective on what's going on ... we need help to do more good things." But incumbent Mary Fischer pointed to her 20 years of experience as a city councilor. "I don't need any on-the-job training," she said. "I have a great understanding of the issues and ... I can assume the duties immediately." Fischer and Ivie are the two candidates up for election in District 2, which generally is located on the west side but slices into the center of the city.
Calif. High Court's Leanings Hard to See in City of Hope Patent Case
Whether a $500 million damages award against Genentech Inc. stands will probably come down to whether the California Supreme Court interprets a 32-year-old contract as establishing a fiduciary relationship between the biotech giant and a research center. That issue was the focus of Tuesday's oral argument in the long-awaited case, as the court's justices attempted to nail down exactly what constitutes a fiduciary relationship in a patent contract. All seven justices -- including 1st District Court of Appeal Justice James Lambden sitting in for recused Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar -- asked tough questions without tipping their hands about who would prevail. Attorneys for both sides were well-regarded appellate specialists. Jerome Falk Jr., a partner in San Francisco's Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin, represented Genentech, while Peter Davis, counsel in the San Francisco office of Reed Smith, presented arguments for City of Hope National Medical Center.

Other labor costs add to the bill. Contract issues like work rules, line relief and holiday pay amount to $630 per vehicle - costs that the Japanese don't have. And paying UAW members for not working when plants are shut costs another $350 per vehicle. .
Online FarmersOnly matchmaking service lets singles in rural America ...
CARLISLE, Pa. -- Sonya Rinker was looking for a guy: someone who was kind, respectful and had a special place in his heart ... for John Deere tractors. She didn't know that somewhere along these rolling Pennsylvania hills there was such a man, a shy guy named Tom with two vintage Deere tractors. He had been looking for a gal, someone who'd put up with his milking cows at 3 a.m. and his six-day work weeks. Sonya Rinker and Tom Henisee lived 57 miles apart when they both signed up for an online matchmaking service designed to link up people just like them -- farmers and others who know their way around a barn and a milking machine. Playing the dating game isn't easy in rural America: Tens of thousands of twentysomethings have moved out in recent decades, small towns have shrunk, younger farmers have become a dwindling commodity Sonya was just 24, but already worried and eager to find a mate.
The Receding Hemlines of Crown Heights
Returning to the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, for a Shabbos is an exhilarating experience. Lubavitchers are arguably the most alive people in the world, and there is a pulse and electricity in the air that can scarcely be found anywhere else.What I did not expect, however, was to be approached by a large number of young rabbinical students (bochurim) of marriageable age who wanted counseling as to how to overcome their obsession with a woman's looks on dates. Some of the bochurim who approached me had dated upwards of 40 women and had been instantly dismissive if she wasn't a beauty. Mind you, these were not bums. Most were outstanding young scholars, deeply religious, serious about their rabbinical degrees, and desirous of going out--right after marriage--to the far corners of the world to spread Judaism.
H-T Hotline columnist Rebecca Robbins
Just a point of protocol: it's unlikely that I'll be able to answer Hotline questions in this format, but I'll be happy to take your questions and add them to my list. Anything else you want to know about writing the Hotline column is fair game. And feel free to call me Becky. Rebecca is my more formal nom de plume dating back to my lawyer days (and it's the name my dad prefers). QUESTION: what is the most interesting thing you have ever had to cover in Hotline? jeremy williams, bloomington REBECCA ROBBINS: I admit I'm partial to the science-related questions. One week I wrote about whether bubbly soft drinks contribute to global warming (they don't, much) and about Zeller's Congruence, a mathematical formula for determining the day of the week one was born. And I always enjoy the wildlife and nature questions.
