Changes coming for Daufuskie Island ferry service
Dating back to the early '90s, Beaufort County and the state of South Carolina have paid for limited ferry service for Daufuskie Island residents. The service is expected to continue, but a community panel hopes a new identification card system will make it harder for non-residents and private contractors to ride for free. What the Daufuskie Island Community Improvement Club -- the island's de facto governing body -- came up with is anID system that allows the club to create a list of full-time residents eligible to use the ferry. More than 100 people posed in recent weeks for the photo IDs, which Terri Painter, who's coordinating the effort for the Daufuskie club, says will prevent non-residents from using up pricey vouchers. "In my opinion, if they don't live here full time, they shouldn't get an ID because they'd be wasting the (resident) taxpayers' ...
TheStar.com | Sports | Raptor pair effectively combining their skills
We don't really need them to score when they're getting the ball to guys, where they're getting the ball to them," the coach said. Through intense film work and through the expected maturation of the 24-year-old Ford and the 26-year-old Calderon, the duo is learning to make better decisions and discovering the intricacies of their teammates in a revamped rotation that has two new starters and three new key backups. "It doesn't matter that much," said Ford. "Each individual, I understand their game, I know what those guys' tendencies are and I just change up my style depending who's in the game. "I watched so much film growing up as a kid and in college and I sort of got away from it in the NBA. Now coach Mike (Evans) gets with me every day, after every game, we study the good decisions I make and the bad decisions." Calderon, meanwhile, returns with another boost of confidence from a successful summer with the Spanish national team, which finished second in the European championships.
India Gujarat rioters get life for rape, murders
A special court which heard the case in Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra state, found 13 men guilty of a variety of crimes from rape and gang rape to murder and destruction or falsification of evidence. One accused has since died. 'The court handed life sentence to 11 of the accused and three years for the policeman,' defence counsel Rajendra Shirodkar told Reuters. 'We will appeal against the verdicts within a fortnight.' Human rights groups say about 2,500 people were hacked, beaten or burned to death in the riots that started after 59 Hindu activists burned to death inside a train in Gujarat. Hindu groups blamed a Muslim mob for the train fire, but a subsequent inquiry panel said it was an accident. Thousands of cases were filed by Muslim victims but a couple of them came to be seen as key to winning justice for hundreds of women who have sexual assault cases pending from the riots.

Britney's Fall From Grace Makes the Cover of Rolling Stone
To see more from the excerpt and what Britney had to say to her father while in the hospital, just read more The siblings run after Britney to get a video to put up on YouTube, and some of the shopgirls run after her to hand off the merchandise she left behind, and there's an entire bridal party wearing yellow T-shirts who have pulled out camera phones too. A crush of managers in black shirts and gold name tags try to keep the peace, but the crowd running after Britney gets larger, and now the shopgirls have started to catch up to her, one of them slipping spectacularly in her platform shoes, grazing her elbow. She pulls herself up, mustering the strength to tap Britney's shoulder. "Um, I'm from the South too," she mumbles, "and I was wondering if I could get a picture with you for my little sister." Britney turns to Ghalib and grabs his arm.
US elections 2004
For supporters of John Kerry, who have seen allegations about the Democratic candidate's military record sap his campaign, it must have seemed like a case of just deserts.
The president, George Bush, was last week looking vulnerable on the same grounds after CBS's flagship current affairs show, 60 Minutes, broadcast a report claiming he had been suspended from pilot duties for failing to meet the required standards. It was also claimed that a commanding officer had been put under pressure to "sugar coat" Mr Bush's performance reviews.
But while CBS stands by its story, allegations have now surfaced that 60 Minutes based a large part of the report on forged documents.
Although what one man - even a presidential candidate - did more than 30 years ago can seem rather trivial, the US election is being fought between a self-declared "war president" and a man who, in stump speeches, claims he would defend his country as president in the way he had defended it as a young man.
