| Bath man indicted for kidnapping, assault
A 28-year-old Bath man was indicted Wednesday on kidnapping and assault charges for allegedly attacking a 16-year-old girl last August. Darren P. McEathron is accused of dragging the victim into a wooded area off Birdseye Hollow Road in Wayne. The victim, who did not know her attacker, was riding her bicycle in the area. The man is accused of assaulting the girl Aug. 18, causing injuries to her face and extremities, according to state police at Bath. McEathron did not sexually assault the girl, authorities said. The victim was able to escape her attacker when he left her briefly unattended. McEathron, who was arrested in early January, was indicted without the results of a DNA sample he provided to investigators shortly after his arrest. Steuben County District Attorney John Tunney said his office has not yet received those results.

Ken Schellenberg, shown in a handout photo, wants to put a simple but highly engineered bottle rocket into orbit. This could be impossible, but the CEO of antigravityresearch.com already holds the altitude record for boosting an elongated pop bottle - propelled by a bicycle pump, water and a bit of soap - into the air. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO This could be impossible, but the CEO of AntiGravity Research already holds the altitude record for boosting an elongated plastic pop bottle - propelled by a bicycle pump, water and a bit of soap - into the air. Firing the ubiquitous, two-litre plastic container usually consigned to the recycle bin into space might create a whole new definition for space junk, but the dream keeps Schellenberg going.
Oil crisis ahead? 'Peakniks' build for future
If the day comes that oil grows so scarce that Austinites can't afford fruit hauled in from California and brownouts roll across Texas, Lester Germanio will live high, wide and cool in his West Lake Hills villa. Germanio and other Austinites who have banded together to trade information and survival tips are preparing themselves for what they see as inevitable deprivations as oil production declines past its peak. Some call them "Peakniks." .
Obama's women reveal his secret
America is the spirit of creative destruction, selecting immigrants willing to turn their back on the tragedy of their own failing culture in return for a new start. Its creative success is so enormous that its global influence hastens the decline of other cultures. For those on the destruction side of the trade, America is a monster. Between half and nine-tenths of the world's 6,700 spoken languages will become extinct in the next century, and the anguish of dying peoples rises up in a global cry of despair. Some of those who listen to this cry become anthropologists, the curators of soon-to-be extinct cultures; anthropologists who really identify with their subjects marry them. Obama's mother, the University of Hawaii anthropologist Ann Dunham, did so twice.
Obama profiles Americans the way anthropologists interact with primitive peoples.
Adspend predictions for 2008
Growth in these countries offsets the downward spiral seen in developed countries such as Japan and Germany and bumps up the worldwide adspend perspective to 5.3%, contributing US$359.5 billion out of the advertising pie.Internet adspend climbingIn 2007 the growth of Internet adspend drew money away from traditional activities and in the US was up 20% of the budget of national advertisers. Coen predicts that the Internet adspend will enjoy a sturdy 16.5% in 2008. Nevertheless, with all budgets coming under scrutiny in 2008, online marketers are also expected to think more carefully where they spend their cash this year.While adspend growth is expected for South Africa, this will be somewhat tempered by economic pressures. “With inflation at about 7%, 2% above the Reserve Bank's target, we can expect that advertising budgets will be tighter this year," comments Suliman.

Defending champion team returns to Langkawi
Stage 3 is a twilight hot dog circuit on the waterfront, while Stage 4 is a new circuit to the Classic. The course is entirely within Eastern Park, around the Botanical Gardens, and at two kilometers in length with long straights it should allow strong riders a chance to shine. The final stage also covers roads within Eastern Park, but is much shorter and features two technical corners and a nasty climb to the finish line outside the entrance to the Botanical Gardens. Melbourne's weather is predicted to be fine throughout. A near perfect 25 degrees for Stage 1, but steadily increasing to the high of 37 on Saturday before a cooler day for the thousands of recreational riders who are expected to join the professionals for Amy's Ride, the Amy Gillett Memorial ride, which proceeds the final stage.
