Industry players plead for government aid: What have you done for ...

Many operators of tourist establishments in Lebanon are furious with the government over what they say has been a pattern of neglect of a key moneymaker for the country. They complain that the government has dragged its feet in providing help for tourism, even as the sector sees closures on a regular basis. They also argue that the government's pledges of financial support are meager when compared to the number of jobs that have been lost - and the number of Lebanese who have emigrated."We were invited by the government to invest in the sector but we were led astray," said Jean Beyrouthy, secretary general of the Touristic Federation. After the summer 2006 war with Israel, the government made a number of proposals to help the sector recover from the conflict. But according to industry insiders, the sector has not received a penny of government support to date.

Illinois and South Carolina Football Programs Deal With Players ...

West Palm Beach, FL (AHN) - Two college football programs were rocked this weekend with players getting arrested which might jeopardize their future with the schools. Two University of Illinois wide receivers were jailed on the suspension of possessing stolen property while South Carolina's prized quarterback recruit Stephen Garcia was arrested after allegedly keying a man's car.

The University of Illinois incident involved sophomore wide receivers Jody Ellis and Derrick McPhearson. AP reported the two were in a traffic accident on Friday and police found stolen property in their car's trunk while investigating the crash.

Police in Champaign, Illinois could not verify that report but the school's website did confirm the arrest.

Ron Zook, the team's head coach, later released a statement saying the two players were suspended indefinitely from the club.

UK voices concern at Iran 'sabre-rattling'

Britain said yesterday it was concerned at Iranian "sabre-rattling" about possibly putting captured British naval personnel on trial and for the first time voiced regret that the incident had occurred.

Iran's ambassador to Moscow was quoted as saying the 15 Britons captured eight days ago may face trial for illegally entering the Islamic Republic's territorial waters. But he later denied having made the comments, Iran's IRNA news agency said.

Britain insists the sailors were seized in Iraqi waters and Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said such talk worried her.

"Obviously, I am concerned. It is not the first person to have made sabre-rattling noises," she told reporters after a European Union foreign ministers' meeting in Germany.

But she struck a conciliatory note when asked by an Iranian television reporter if she had a message for Iran, saying: "The message I want to send is I think everyone regrets that this position has arisen.

Lawmakers Say Proposed Change in Auto Insurance Necessary

Mar. 19--Lawmakers are considering a change to Colorado's auto insurance system that critics say could cost consumers money but proponents are hailing as necessary aid to medical providers. Senate Bill 193 would require all motorists to have coverage of $25,000 in health benefits and $25,000 in rehabilitation. Proponents say the bill, sponsored by Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, is necessary because trauma and other medical providers are losing money under the state's three-year-old tort insurance system. The state's old personal injury protection insurance covered drivers who were hurt in an accident, regardless of whose fault it was. Each insurance company took care of its own client's costs.



But since that coverage became optional in 2003, drivers who don't have it have suffered huge bills.

Clothing with a conscience Dressing 'cruelty-free' doesn't have to mean sacrificing style

North of Boston image consultant Ginger Burr makes a silent statement every morning while getting dressed for work - her stylish wardrobe is 100 percent vegan.

What's vegan, you ask? Veganism is the practice of not eating meat, fish, eggs or dairy products - anything from an animal. And most people who follow the practice - who are known vegans - typically shun clothing made from animal byproducts, including leather, wool, cashmere, suede, shearling, down, silk and fur because they believe the animals are treated inhumanely.

"Veganism is more than what you eat, it is a personal philosophy of living a life of compassion toward all living beings," Burr said. "Sure, it takes a little extra thought and effort. But as my mother has always said, anything worth doing is worth doing well."

Burr, who hasn't eaten red meat in 25 years, decided to go vegan roughly a year-and-a-half ago after reading about what she considered to be cruel treatment of animals in the dairy industry.

Separating politics from pursuit of justice

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft had a standard spiel for new U.S. attorneys: "You have to leave politics at the door to do this job properly."

Maintaining that independence, without fear of repercussions, is the bedrock principle at stake in the controversy over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. As the top law enforcement official in each of their jurisdictions, these federal prosecutors have the power to destroy reputations, careers and even lives.

They're political appointees, but they're supposed to follow the evidence wherever it leads, without fear or favor. While presidents have the power to remove them for any reason, tradition holds that prosecutors should stay on the job unless they're corrupt or incompetent.

When Democrat Bill Clinton became president, he fired all but one of the U.S.

Let your muscles thaw in spring

Ah, spring.

Time to soak in the sweet embrace of mother nature, run out to celebrate the arrival of warmer days and immediately pull a hamstring.

Ouch.

Spring may awaken your inner Jack La Lanne. But if you've spent the last few months emulating John Goodman, then you might want to ease up a bit before going full throttle with activities.

"At this point, people are out running, hiking, gardening, playing softball," said Dr. Carol Scott, a certified sports medicine specialist and assistant director of the University of Nevada, Reno's student health center. "But if you've been fairly sedentary during the winter, then you can get injured out there. It's usually a matter of 'too much, too fast.'""

Lots of hurting

The type of spring injuries run the gamut of the different activities that cause them.

Virtual racing games linked to risk taking

WASHINGTON: Psychologists have taken the "media priming" effects of popular video console and PC-based games on the road, finding that virtual racing seems to lead to aggressive driving and a propensity for risk taking. Extending prior findings on how aggressive virtual-shooter games increase aggression-related thoughts, feelings and behaviors, researchers at Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians University and the Allianz Center for Technology found that of 198 men and women, those who play more virtual car-racing games were more likely to report that they drive aggressively and get in accidents. Less frequent virtual racing was associated with more cautious driving. According to this press release issued by EurekAlert, the findings appear in the March issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, which is published by the American Psychological Association.

I handled 9/11 from A to Z: Qaida No. 3

WASHINGTON: They called him the "Forrest Gump of terrorism" for his involvement in many terrorist acts and plans across the world going back to the mid-1990s. At a hearing in Guantanamo Bay last week, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed showed the moniker was well deserved, owning up his role in 31 terrorist plots, including 9/11, the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, and a host of plots and plans in between.

In a rambling, disjointed statement at a military hearing, the most coherent sentence the man initialed as KSM said was "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z." He expressed some regret over the incident ("I'm not happy that 3,000 been killed in America. I feel sorry even. I don't like to kill children and the kids") but rationalized it later saying, "The language of war is victims."

Among his involvement in many plots was one in which he said there was "surveying and financing for the destruction of the Israeli Embassy in India, Azerbaijan, the Philippines and Australia." There were also assassination plots against Presidents Clinton and Carter, and the attempt on the life of Pakistani's military ruler Pervez Musharraf.

Asbury Automotive Turns Five on the NYSE: Best of Times, Worst of ...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity . . .

- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Asbury turns 5 on NYSE Tuesday, Asbury Automotive (ABG) celebrated its 5 year anniversary as a publicly traded company. To go public simply means anyone that wants can buy a piece of ownership in the company (you, me, even my kid niece or nephews).

To celebrate, management hosted an analyst day where they provided "An Insider's View of Automotive Retailing." Meaning they had real people from the field/regions (not just senior management) talk about a number of the initiatives, processes, and ultimately try to show investors the Asbury culture.
