With the economy on the brink and elections looming, Congress approved an unprecedented $700 billion government bailout of the battered financial industry on Friday and sent it to President Bush who quickly signed it.
Just four days after the initial vote against the Bush proposed bailout, moments ago the House reversed its decision by a comfortable margin. And they did so in great dramatic fashion, breaking out in resonant applause when the result was announced.
The potential link between mobile telephones and brain cancer could be similar to the link between lung cancer and smoking -- something tobacco companies took 50 years to recognize, US scientists warn.

Pocket change can change global poverty! This project will include the increased use of change in daily activities of monetary exchange nationwide, including one day in Washington, D.C., designated to particularly promote the use of change in an effort to emphasize exactly how much money the United States has.Members of the movement should plan to pay for further purchases with as much change as possible, thus clogging check-out counters and demanding that more attention be paid to the money in transactions.

I became interested in Alzheimer's research five years ago when my father was diagnosed with the disease at 52 years of age. This year,(after moving from Denver, CO to Fort Smith, AR) I decided I wanted to do something to help. I went to one of the few people I felt I could talk to; my science teacher, Steve Arnold. After telling him about my dad and what I wanted to do, he sent out an e-mail to everyone on his list asking if they knew a way that I could get in touch with someone who knew how I could help.
