Six in the frame for top AWM job
Six top business leaders are battling it out to become the next chairman of regional development agency Advantage West Midlands. The Birmingham Post has learned that they are Sir Roy McNulty, Brian Woods-Scawen, Bob Dover, Mike Beasley, Derek Harris and Barry Cleverdon. They are looking to succeed Nick Paul who steps down from the post in December. Whoever wins will play a critical role in the future of the region in everything from inward investment to regeneration. The two to three day a week post pays around £80,000 and is for three years, with a three year option.
The three front runners are believed to be Sir Roy, Mr Dover and Mr Woods-Scawen.
Sir Roy is a 70-year-old father of three who has been the £90,000-a-year, three-day-a-week chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority since 2001. He divides his week between regulating Britain's crowded airspace and helping to deliver the 2012 London Olympic Games in his other role as deputy chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority.
Winter storm whitewashes suburbs
Things won't just become normal when the snow stops," Cunningham said. "The airlines will have to play catch-up Friday and Saturday." It should take about 24 hours for airlines to get back on track once the snow stops, he added. The National Weather Service said a hazardous weather advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. today The advisory states snow will continue to fall throughout the day, and will be heavy at times. The total accumulation will be 6 to 10 inches. Metra officials reported no weather-related delays. ComEd spokesman John Dewey said there were no significant outages throughout the system. "The snow didn't cause an issue because there wasn't strong winds with it," Dewey said. Commuters Thursday, however, did have to contend with a power outage that knocked out traffic signals about 4:30 p.m.
Voice: Renison part of Calexico’s past
I have been reading your stories of late on Calexico and feel uncomfortable with the way your stories don't seem to tell the whole story. It's as if they are written to instigate and generate more controversy. You want controversy, why don't you do a story on the fact that our current Mayor John Renison seems to be running a political campaign at the expense of the taxpayers. He hasn't admitted to running for re-election but his TV commercials have him stating his name and standing in front of City Hall by himself. At his press conferences he is the only council member present. At least the pictures are only of him.&t=imperial,%20el-centro,%20calexico,%20imperial-county&r=mexico&category=world_news","newsvine","toolbar=no,width=590,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes")'>

Isn't it time to start impeachment of Bush?
The future appears more uncertain than at any time since the rise Hitler before the Second World War.Crisis in Pakistan. We supported Musharraf in spite of his dismal record in fighting terrorists.Our ``great decider'' has an emergency teleconference and hears of the crisis in Pakistan which may threaten Afghanistan. But, let us not return to our nation's capital. The brush must be cleared and a bike ridden. And the nation's defense bill must be vetoed so there will be no lawsuits against the Iraqi government.The reality is the emperor has no clothes but his advisers compliment him on his wardrobe. May we have an impeachment hearing now?Maureen UgoliniBloomington .
Debate takes on contentious air for U.S. Democrats
Obama camp has done very good job in maintaining a very good relationship with the media since they got huge donations to spend big, many reporters/analysts in this election season tend to put too much wrong emotion into their reportings. Never before was there a woman and a black running for President of the US, not you have and two of them. Race and gender did not get so much emotional attentions for the voters in the past. This is the first time this sensitive issue came into real life. Hillary for long time, ever since her involvement with the public health reform effort during Bill's reign, she became a very hated political person by some and at the same time very much respected and supported by some others. She is one of those you either love or hate. Nevertheless, on overall assessment, she is definitely a very outstanding person.
Feds: Man's guilty plea reveals two-state auto theft ring
HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) - Federal authorities say a man who pleaded guilty to transporting stolen cars is helping authorities expose a multimillion-dollar auto-theft ring involving hundreds of victims across Indiana and Illinois.
Thirty-nine-year-old Mahmoud Yusef Nassar of Schererville was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Hammond to 37 months in federal prison.
Court records say Nassar pleaded guilty to transporting two stolen cars - a Porsche and a Kia - across state lines after he paid dealership employees to give him the car keys.
Nassar's sentencing memorandum states that he gave up names and organizational details on the inner workings of an auto-theft ring involving hundreds of victims. Court records say that information already has led to search warrants and statements from others.
Fast and high: First 'Vette ZR1 sells for $1 million

GOALFLASHES AND MAJOR INCIDENTS (all times GMT)
As my colleague Bevo points out, bit harsh on Joe, that. Richard Dunne is on 5.38 after his error let in West Ham for the opener. 1652: "After Chelsea, Newcastle and Man City splashed a combined 18m on Asier Del Horno, Jose Enrique and Javier Garrido, is it fair to say that all Spanish left-backs are rubbish? I don't recall Raul Bravo being all that great at Leeds either."James Chello, via text 1648: HALF-TIME Manchester City 1-1 West Ham United 1646: "My friend made a suit for Junior Agogo, ordered it but never came to pick it up, he only found out he was in Ghana yesterday."davidoff2211 on 606 .
