Claims about climate change rebutted
CAFE standards literally saved the American auto industry from itself. They were producing gas-guzzling lemons in the 1970s. When the Arab oil barons decided to insert the reamer up America's collective kazoo, Americans turned to Japanese-built cars that got better gas mileage. CAFE standards forced our automakers to build a better product and made them viable again. Then they circumvented the CAFE standards by selling light trucks as passenger cars or sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Judging from their sales trends, it's only a matter of time before they come crawling again, hat in hand. Citizens in USA produce an average of 24.3 tons of CO2 emissions per year while the average for the world is 5.6 tons of CO2 per person per year. Global warming deniers refuse to face these facts because of gluttony, greed, fear, and stupidity.

'Ozark Jubilee' guitarist Haworth dies at 85
In 1990, he joined Jan and Charles Lee to form the Goodwill Trio, named after his family's group. They played in churches and for senior citizens, Jan Lee said. "And everywhere we went, people knew Speedy Haworth. He was just a staple for the Ozarks." Jim Luttrell worked with Haworth on "The Slim Wilson Show" and again in the last four years. In between, Luttrell performed regularly with the Presleys in Branson. Performing with his friend these last few years, he said, "were some of the best times of my life. And I've been a musician for 69 years. "I will miss him as long as God lets me have a memory."

Panel OKs outlet mall on East Riverside
A zoning permit for a 400,00-square-foot outlet mall on the city's northeast side is on its way to the City Council for approval. The Code and Regulation Committee unanimously endorsed Monday the special-use permit for The Preferred Outlets of Rockford, to be located at East Riverside Boulevard and Interstate 90. City planner Todd Cagnoni said many concepts of the new zoning and ordinances are being incorporated into the plan, including bicycle racks and lower signs along Bell School Road. The committee added a condition in the plan that a connection to Springwheat Street be one-way so traffic can't leave the mall and into residential streets. Palm tree debate Ald. Frank Beach, R-10, is trying to find a compromise on a request for lighted palm trees in the parking lot at San Jose Taqueria, 3725 E.
Lancaster boy beaten with bat over a bike 5:18 PM
LANCASTER, S.C. -- A 13-year-old boy endured a brutal beating, as a police report the details of how he was hit with a bat, punched in the abdomen, kicked in the side, rolled down a hill -- all because of a bike. Detectives say his attackers could face some serious prison time. "We had a kid that noticed his bicycle was gone from the front of his apartment," said Lancaster police detective Brenner Hartley. So the 13-year-old boy went looking and found it quickly. His bike was behind his home with five teenage boys crowded around it. Investigators say the boy knew it was his bike because it's not like any other bike in the neighborhood. "It was a bike made up of many different parts, it was blue, and it was a trick bike," said Hartley.
Campus crisis response review looks at technology to issue alerts
A major review of crisis prevention and response strategies at the University of Saskatchewan will include recommendations for improved technology to send emergency alerts across campus. David Hannah, associate vice-president of student and enrolment services and one of the staffers leading the review, said Monday an improved alert system will likely be in place by the start of the fall semester. The review began after a mass murder last spring at Virginia Tech in the United States. It should be finished and forwarded to university administration within the next month, said Hannah. .
