Wall Street eases back to work.

U.S. stock futures edged higher early Monday as investors returned from the long weekend and eyed the possibility of a higher bid for Wall Street firm Bear Stearns.About three hours before the start of trading, Nasdaq and S&P futures were a shade higher, although a comparison to fair value suggested a weak open. U.S. and European markets were closed Friday.

I guess this is good for everybody,because even though i don't really know alot about economics,i know that this is really good regarding the economy of the U.S.A.Economists surveyed by Briefing.com forecast that home sales will slip further to an annual rate of 4.86 million from 4.89 million in January, which would set yet another record low for that measure.

Report: New York governor, wife admit to past infidelities.

New York Gov. David Paterson, who took over the state's top job Monday after Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal, has admitted he and his wife Michelle had affairs during a rough patch in their marriage several years ago, a newspaper reported.Paterson told the Daily News that he maintained a relationship with another woman from 1999 until 2001. He and his wife eventually sought counseling and repaired their relationship.

Great.....we just get out of a scandal,into possibly another one.The past governor resigned because of his actions,but this one even admits that he has done it in the past......But thinkking about it,he learned from another man' mistake,and he fixed it by beuing honest,which is an exellent qualitythat a governor most have.

Tornado takes 'Mrs. Bonnie,' animal lover .

There was just simply no one better to turn to than the eccentric grandmother who loved animals so much that her 86-acre North Georgia farm was home to donkeys, goats, high-priced show dogs and even a few wayward deer.

On Saturday, nothing was left of that bucolic sanctuary after a 130-mph tornado ravaged it. Bonnie died, thrown 50 feet from her home as her husband Michael cried out her name, their neighbors Joe and Jamie Wheeler said. This is just sad to see people like this die instead of a murderer or a rapist.

Dupre's MySpace page evolves with scandal.

In three days, Ashley Alexandra Dupre went from being an unknown 22-year-old aspiring musician to the fifth most-searched subject on Google because of her alleged sexual encounters with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer."A week ago, only [Dupre's] friends cared," he said. "But once you put it up for the world to see, you can't control which fraction of the world will see it."

To me there is nothing new with this because it has happened before....It's really sad to see that this is becoming more and more common everyday, the governor is the one to set the example, but then we get people like this who even though might be a good man, cheated on his wife and disappointed everybody.

Thousands mourn slain UNC student; cops search for killer.

Thousands of students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill gathered Thursday to remember student body president Eve Carson, who was shot and killed in a suburban neighborhood near campus."She has been taken from us in a terrible act of violence," Moeser told the students, who stood and sat somberly in front of him, some holding yellow daisies.

Well to be honest this is not new, and it is a shame to say it, but this is now becoming something that is happening on a regular basis,people are getting frightened to go to a university, with the fear that some psycho might just come and start shooting random people, i think that we need to come up with a way to prevent this, or at least a way to stop all of those murderers

14 Americans arrested in child porn sting .

Fourteen Americans are in custody as part of a global crackdown on a well-organized child porn ring that used sophisticated encryption technology, the FBI and Justice Department announced Tuesday.The suspects allegedly used Internet newsgroups and large file-sharing networks to trade and share images and videos.

I think this is really good news, because they should try to eliminate child porn.The only people worse than the people making the child porn is the bastards who buy it, those nasty pedophiles,i hope they all get arrested so we can erradicate that nasty child porn from our world.
