...that was going. Sure he was cute and charming that night, but if someone cannot have the decency to pick up the phone and call you, you really need to just get over him. Quickly. In this age of email, AIM and facebook poking, reaching out and touching someone via telephone has almost become obsolete. Some people are just really intimidated about calling someone on the phone these days. Not that it is an excuse in this situation. But maybe if the pseudo-anonymity of AIM and email communication didn’t dominate, real-time, in-person communication wouldn?...
...Lewis Setliff, head of Task Force Guardian, the group charged with repairing the levee system. Setliff's team has been given an $800 million pocketbook to repair more than 200 miles of levee damage and construct three unique floodgate systems to stop storm surges from riding into the city via the three drainage canals breached after Katrina.

Washington appeared willing to slight Chen to placate Beijing, whose cooperation it needs on everything from reducing the U.S. trade deficit to reining in the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran. Given China's growing clout, the world looks set to become an ever...
...Seif al Islam says that Gaddafi?s confidence grew as the number of messages from the British and U.S. governments came in via MI6 and the CIA. The key breakthrough occurred on Sept. 6, 2003, when a British air marshal flew in to Tripoli on a Royal Air Force plane and handed Gaddafi a personal letter from the British Prime Minister formally agreeing to Gaddafi's conditions for proceeding. That paved the way for the visit of the MI6-CIA technical team to inspect all of Libya's top-secret WMD sites and report back to their governments...
