The Bill Richardson difference

Dressed in a blue blazer, khaki slacks and a red tie, Richardson was speaking in the recently restored local courthouse and a chunk of his mostly gray-haired audience of about 60 voters was sitting in the jury box. As the Democrat with the longest and most varied résumé in the race (14 years in the House, stints as U.N. ambassador and energy secretary in Bill Clinton's second term, and New Mexico governor since 2003), Richardson is beginning -- just beginning -- to get a long, serious look from voters already a trifle bored with Hillary Clinton versus Barack Obama.

Fumo defends Pa. student-loan agency's spending practices

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A state senator on the board of Pennsylvania's student loan agency criticized an ongoing state audit of the agency's spending practices Thursday, alleging that it was politically motivated.

Sen. Vincent J. Fumo, D-Philadelphia, said the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency's spending on business travel, entertainment and promotions have helped boost its revenues.

State Auditor General Jack Wagner announced in April that his office would audit PHEAA, citing news reports of lavish spending. The audit is expected to be completed by the end of June.

"The going out ... and entertaining and marketing brought this agency a ton of money," Fumo said during the board's monthly meeting. "I think the auditor general should be ashamed for trying to run a political campaign on the backs of the students of this commonwealth."

Wagner is seeking re-election this year and is considered a potential candidate for governor in 2010.

Kevin Keegan joins race to lure Jonathan Woodgate from Teesside

Tottenham Hotspur have made contact with Middlesbrough regarding Jonathan Woodgate, although the North London club are expected to face competition from Newcastle United for the centre half. Kevin Keegan is a known admirer of the 28-year-old – he handed him his England debut in 1999 – and may attempt to take him back to St James’ Park.

As of yet, no bid from Newcastle has been forthcoming, but Keegan is understood to have taken soundings from associates of Woodgate, who spent 20 months on Tyneside before signing for Real Madrid for £13.4 million in 2004. There are unconfirmed suggestions that the defender has become unsettled at his hometown club, even though he joined them on a permanent basis only last year.

After his successful loan spell on Teesside last season, Woodgate’s form has dipped and while he has been troubled by cramp and hamstring injuries, Gareth Southgate’s team have appeared more assured without him.

Djokovic ends Federer's streak of 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals

Djokovic broke him to pull ahead at 3-1 in the second set. He finished off the game by getting to a drop shot on the dead run and flicking a backhand past Federer that kissed the line. Djokovic roared and raised his fist, then repeatedly pounded his chest.

He broke again to pull ahead at 5-1. Serving for the set, Djokovic looked a little tight, and Federer took advantage to break. When he held to make it 5-3, the divided crowd erupted into dueling chants of "Let's go Roger, let's go" and "No-vak, No-vak."

Federer forced deuce as Djokovic served again for the set.

Known for his tendency to bounce the ball up to two dozen times before serving, the Serbian got a time delay warning. Instead of being shaken, Djokovic was fired up. He ripped a forehand winner and glared up at chair umpire Pascal Maria of France, then blasted an ace and stared defiantly at Maria again.

Jacoby: The Lancet's overblown figures

So naturally there was great interest when the Lancet published a study in October 2006, three weeks before the midterm U.S. elections, reporting that 655,000 people had died in Iraq as a result of the U.S.-led war.

Hundreds of news outlets, to say nothing of antiwar activists and lawmakers, publicized the astonishing figure, which was more than 10 times the death toll estimated by other sources. (The Iraqi Health Ministry put the mortality level through June 2006 at 50,000.)

If The Lancet's number was accurate, more Iraqis had died in the two years since the U.S. invasion than during the eight-year war with Iran. President George W. Bush, asked about the study, dismissed it out of hand: "I don't consider it a credible report." Tony Blair's spokesman also brushed it off as "not .

We own the Rock

The important point is that there is no economic difference for the Treasury between providing a direct loan through the Bank of England or providing a guarantee against losses to someone else who has provided a loan.

So in order to calculate the financial exposure of the public sector to the Rock, you have to add together the £26bn of tax-payer backed loans actually made to the troubled bank and the commercial loans and deposits that are now subject to a Treasury guarantee.

And on the basis of the statement put out this morning by the Treasury, more-or-less the entirety of the Rock's business has been underwritten by all of us.

But don't be too alarmed.

It doesn't mean we're at risk of losing £100bn.

Most of the Rock's lending is underpinned by assets, in the form of the houses owned by its customers.

Contest encourages reuse of T-shirts The 2008 eco-fashion design contest Green T, a SewGreen project, is under way, focusing on the cotton t-shirt as a symbol of the problems with the conventional apparel industry.

The goal of the contest is to reduce purchases of conventional cotton Ts, buying organic, not treating T-shirts as throw-away items and putting old ones to use in creative new ways.
