((IN A SUNDAY MORNING SURPRISE, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DONALD RUMSFELD ARRIVED FOR A QUICK VISIT TO IRAQ. LANDING AT A U-S AIR BASE IN THE WESTERN DESERT, HE OFFERED ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOME FIFTEEN HUNDRED MARINES.
(sot: Donald Rumsfeld)
"This is not a battle against large armies, navies and air forces. This is a test of will" HE PREDICTED THE VIOLENCE IN THE COUNTRY WOULD GET WORSE AS JANUARY ELECTIONS APPROACH, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SAID THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF REDUCING THE NUMBER OF U-S TROOPS AFTER THE ELECTION. THAT REDUCTION WOULD DEPEND ON EXPANDING AND IMPROVING IRAQI FORCES.
(sot: Rumsfeld)
"Your country is counting on you" LATER IN BAGHDAD - RUMSFELD CLEARLY DEFINED WHAT HE EXPECTS OF IRAQI SECURITY FORCES WHEN HE MET WITH SOME OF THEIR RANKS AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING THEM.
(sot: Rumsfeld)
"We can help but we can't do it. You have to do it."
(NAT OF BOMB SCENE)
SECURITY IS CERTAINLY STILL A PROBLEM, AS TWO CAR BOMBS EXPLODED IN BAGHDAD SHORTLY BEFORE THE SECRETARY'S ARRIVAL. ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER WAS KILLED WHEN HIS CONVOY WAS HIT. THE OTHER BOMB STRUCK NEAR A POLICE ACADEMY, KILLING AND WOUNDING SEVERAL STUDENTS AND POLICE OFFICERS. RUMSFELD ALSO MET WITH IRAQI INTERIM PRIME MINISTER AYAD ALLAWI AND WITH U-S AND IRAQI LEADERS WHO ARE NEGOCIATING CEASEFIRES WITH INSURGENTS. UNDER A NEW AGREEMENT, SHI-ITE REBELS IN SADR CITY WILL START HANDING OVER THEIR WEAPONS TO IRAQI POLICE ON MONDAY. ANOTHER TEST TO SEE IF SECURITY CAN BE ACHIEVED IN THIS UNSTABLE COUNTRY.

It was a beautiful fall day for racing in Southside, as more than 15 thousand fans showed up for the beatin' and bangin.'
We pick things up in the first heat race. The new SAFER barriers were put to the test early and often. This collision took place on the very first lap of the day.
Pole sitter Richard Landreth and Denny Hamlin dominated the first hundred laps of the main event. They swapped the lead numerous times, but some folks had more pressing issues, like this guy who worked his tan most of the day.
The hits kept on coming in this one. Turns three and four collected a few more members to the crash club. At the halfway point, the top 6 drivers were inverted, leaving Roanoke's Tony McGuire out front.
McGuire made himself right at home in the lead, never giving it up. He led the final 100 plus laps, holding off Timothy Peters for the checkers. McGuire is the first two time winner of the event. He knows perhaps better than anybody, that a little racing luck never hurts.

The California-based company Genetic Savings and Clone produced the cats as part of their pet cloning program.

((BEN CARLSON/GENETIC SAVINGS & CLONE; WE THINK THAT AH, CLONING IS A SERVICE THAT'S GOING TO BE OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXCEPTIONAL PETS AND THEY WANT ANOTHER PET THAT'S AS MUCH LIKE IT AS POSSIBLE. WHAT WE OFFER PEOPLE IS ESSENTIALLY A LATER BORN IDENTICAL TWIN.))

But it doesn't come cheap. The cost for a clone is 50-thousand dollars, but the price is expected to drop in coming years.
