- A number of readers have noted the action by the U.S. Mint to outlaw the melting down or bulk export of coins. This has come about because the value of the precious metals contained in coins now exceeds their face value. The Mint would rather not have to replace pennies (at a cost of 1. |

- Beirut & Moscow- Reports from the Kremlin today are portraying President Putin as being 'furious' with the American president over his breaking of a promise to the Russian President to not provide US funding to the Israelis for their Lebanese War.Less than 3 weeks after making this promise the United States used a little known provision in their security agreements with Israel to fully pay for the war, and as we can read as reported by Israel's Ynet News Service in their article titled "US to double emergency equipment stored in Israel", and which says: "The American Congress gave Israel financial and security encouragement when the Senate and the House of Representatives gave their approval to double the emergency equipment the United States stores in Israeli stockpiles. Within the next two years the Americans will fill the military emergency stockpiles in Israel with double the equipment they now hold. In addition, the US will allow Israel to use the remainder of the US's monetary guarantees given to them that have not been used yet, and add up to USD 4. |

- Bob Seger is back. If you're a not a fan or even a casual fan of the 61-year-old heartland rocker, you may wonder where he's been. After all, his many hit songs, including Against the Wind, Night Moves and Shakedown, are still on the radio waves every single day. For 16 years, the proud Detroit native has been telling folks that Chevies are built ``like a rock'' and he was inducted into the rock hall in 2004, so his music hasn't gone anywhere. Neither have his fans, who still request said music on classic rock radio and who showed up en masse at the rock hall to support their heartland hero for Seger's induction, briefly turning the lobby into a concert during his post-speech performance. |

- A chauffeur accused of trying to extort $2 million from Yoko Ono says she made the accusations in order to stop his plans to pursue a sexual harassment case against her. Police say Koral Karsan had threatened to circulate embarrassing photos of the widow of former Beatle John Lennon. Police say Karsan also spoke of killing Ono and her son, Sean Lennon. Karsan was arraigned Thursday on an attempted grand larceny charge, after being arrested Wednesday. Karsan has denied trying to extort money from Ono and said on his way out of a police station Wednesday that Ono was trying to stop him from pursuing a sexual harassment case. |

- Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Household We're not sure about this whole pet anxiety thing (our cats seem to do just fine without us, thanks), but apparently dogs are a different beast. With that in mind, an Arizona inventor has just announced the "Chatterbowl," a regular dog dish bowl (not at all like this one) that will let you record a message to comfort your dog (up to 10 seconds) every time he or she comes to grab a snack or get some water. The $20 bowl has been advertised on cable TV in Dallas and Houston for a few days now, but it will reportedly hit other markets across the US in the coming weeks. |

- John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona is proposing legislation that could drastically change the internet blogosphere. The proposal called "Stop the Online Exploitation of Our Children Act" would require Web sites to remove user profiles posted by sex offenders. Now while in reality this seems like a great idea, the proposal lays way for lots of confusion. Some of the highlights of the bill would include _Personal blogs and comercial websites “would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000.” _While Internet Service Providers are already required to issue these sort of reports, under McCain's proposal, blogging websites with comments sections may face "even stiffer penalties" than Internet Service Providers. |
