Anti-government voters factor in Texas race

s AUSTIN, Texas – Debra Medina was hardly the ideal candidate in Tuesday's Republican primary: She didn't raise much money and came under fire for suggesting the U.S. might have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Still, she won nearly one out of every five votes, harnessing some support in the nascent tea party movement. The growing influence of the movement could be seen in the GOP primary, but Medina, who got 18.5 percent of the overall vote, wasn't the biggest winner. That was Texas Gov.… Continue

SeaWorld workers describe speed of fatal attack

MIAMI – A killer whale that dragged a trainer to her death eluded SeaWorld workers who furiously unfurled nets while it swam pool-to-pool during the attack last week, according to witness statements released Monday. After minutes of frenzied work to save Dawn Brancheau, the whale was finally corralled but still refused to unclench its teeth, according to the investigative reports released by the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Chile was ready for quake, Haiti wasn't

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The earthquake in Chile was far stronger than the one that struck Haiti last month — yet the death toll in this Caribbean nation is magnitudes higher. The reasons are simple. Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes, robust emergency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly constructed buildings. And Chile was relat… Continue

White House to release revamped Obama health plan

WASHINGTON — In a crucial week of high wire politics, Barack Obama is seeking to transform his top priority health care plan, now a liability for his presidency, into a trump card to outwit Republicans. But ahead of the president's bipartisan health "summit" on Thursday, Republicans also think they may have a winning hand, after building their resurgence on blanket opposition to the plan and Obama's wider agenda. The White House said it would release details of the plan on its website Monday.… Continue

All these years later, Miller complicated as ever

WHISTLER, British Columbia — New medal. Same old Bode. Or is it? Depends on whether you listen to what others say or what Bode Miller himself says. Before heading off to collect his bronze from the men's Olympic downhill Monday, the ever-enigmatic Miller sounded off on so many subjects, the way he so often has. Never a dull moment with this guy. He talked about how he "relaxed a bunch of my animosity toward the commercialism of the Olympics from the last time. I can't personally change that… Continue

There is a Santa!

So my 9 year old doesn't believe in Santa anymore! I am so bummed. My mother in law did some research and found a wonderful website that allows you to upload a picture of your living room with the Christmas tree and they add a video with a Santa! It looks so real. You can choose from 9 videos, add music and even a message. Also, you can send it to friends and family. I can't wait to show him! This is what Christmas is about. The joy of seeing the kids get so excited about the magic of Christmas.… Continue
