Canadian Press: RASHA MADKOUR KATY, Texas (AP) - A plan to build a mosque in this Houston suburb has triggered a neighbourhood dispute, with community members warning the place will become a terrorist hotbed and one man threatening to hold pig races on Fridays just to offend the Muslims.
Many neighbourhood residents claim they have nothing against Muslims and are more concerned about property values, drainage and traffic. |

8 Dec 06 Thick low clouds over the launch site forced NASA late Thursday to scrub a night launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery just minutes before the planned blastoff.
The seven astronauts -- two women and five men, including Sweden's first astronaut -- were strapped into their seats ready for liftoff, but low-lying clouds forced a last-minute postponement of the 9:35 pm (0235 GMT Friday) blastoff. |

08 December 2006 The Mexican fast-food chain Taco Bell is at the centre of America's latest food scare, after nearly 100 people were reported to have fallen sick with an acute bacterial infection after eating contaminated green onions at Taco Bell restaurants.
The chain immediately dropped the onions at all 5,800 of its North American outlets, and closed dozens of branches along the eastern seaboard. Government investigators working on similar cases are trying to find out how vegetables apparently infected by animal faeces entered the food chain. |

mumzeeskitchen.blogspot.com 8 Dec 06 The elephant called the Iraq Sudy Group has labored long and hard and, after keeping their secret until "after the election", has brought forth a gnat. They have utterly failed to discover a method for extracting W's grubby little fist from the cookie jar this time. Instead they have delivered another missive of pomposity which has nothing new to offer and can only prove one thing. We are in another quagmire and there is no way we can get out of it without being covered with mud. One does not walk out of a door with honor after walking in without any. This committee recemmendation deserves only one title: "Too Little, Too Late".

In Florida, 18,000 missing votes likely changed the outcome of a Congressional election. A naïve public tries to make excuses for the "undervotes" speculating that maybe the voters decided to boycott the race or were confused by the electronic ballot design on the screen of the electronic voting machines. Some even suggested that innocent "glitches" might be at fault. But a hacker, using self-deleting malicious code to erase votes without detection, gets the satisfaction of altering an election without getting caught or even leaving proof a crime was committed.
