| McCain looks confident; Democratic race tightens
I think that this will continue to drag on. There are some in the Democratic Race that would rather sacrifice the life and momentum of the party for their own selfish dream. The test of character and motives will take place tomorrow night once all of the votes are in regarding who is a real Democrat. John Mcain will gain all of the delgates needed and Oh how happy they will be that the Democrats are still inhouse fighting. I will be glad when this is all over. I am simply sick of it! .

FBI Says Airline Plotters Had No US Link
The terrorism conference drew hundreds of British and international law enforcement officials, intelligence agents and lawyers. Two former British extremists _ one who spent more than four years in an Egyptian jail _ also spoke, warning that militants will change tactics once they think they've been profiled.
A host of challenges confront counterterrorism agents today, including technology advances that make communication undetectable, Internet recruiting sites, gaps in international law that limit international cooperation, and the mutation of al-Qaida.
"I do not have an al-Qaida cell that I could put on the board for you," Billy said. "We have not seen that. We have seen individuals with some links _ some indirect ties, some more direct _ but to have (a) cell that is plotting and moving forward has yet to be found."
The men accused of trying to blow up at least 10 U.S.-bound airliners in 2006 are to appear in a London court in April _ just one of many terrorism cases with international implications.
The hottest new cruise ships for 2008
Because mega cruise ships are homogenous in so many areas—from their multiple mall-like restaurants to the pre-fab cabins, giant playrooms and sprawling spas—cruise lines strive to differentiate themselves in any way they can. But what makes a new cruise ship ink-worthy? It's not enough to be adrenaline-pumping and ear-splitting; they need a weird factor to turn our heads. These days, many cruise lines aim to make waves—and grab market share—with outlandish gimmicks. But who says gimmicks can't be fun? Celebrity's upcoming Solstice, for instance, has a patch of grass on an upper deck for picnicking, golf putting and croquet. If that's too snoresville for you, experts lead glass-blowing demos nearby. Fluted goblets anyone? Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas has a surfing simulator that shoots out 20-mile-an-hour waves.
Page 2: Oliver's Twist
Another high school coach once told me that working a football sideline, for him, was always "a dance with madness." Time and again, in the ebb and flow of tense competition, he felt damaging words for officials and players clog in his throat like thick sludge, held there by the thinnest fabric of conscience. Coaches, of course, are far from alone. Athletic events, from the stands to the scoreboard, routinely include as many vented spleens as splendid victories. When it comes to supporting our kids, whether as coaches or parents, common sense is often the most costly turnover on the stat sheet. As the father of a teenage athlete, the only thing keeping me from going Wacker on a referee from the bleachers, time and again, has been the feel of my wife's gentle hand on my shoulder.

Austin-area volunteers for Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton are doing far more than the typical telephoning of voters at dinner time. Although phone banks in their Texas campaign headquarters buzz morning till night, such calling is supplemented by unusual electronic outreach, a mix of e-mail and personalized social networking via MeetUp groups and Web sites.
