NEWS IN BRIEF

SPORTS IN BRIEF
WEATHER FORECAST
Today: Partly cloudy, high of 42.
Generally, I have a set round of procrastination attempts I go through
every night before starting my homework.
Tonight: Mostly clear, low of 30.
I check my email, I check away messages, I check my email again..
Tomorrow: Sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, but mostly windy. Highs in
the upper 40s and lows in the low 30s.
Then I go to Quizilla to learn about myself–for instance, what “shade
of moonlight” I am. (Silver, in case you were wondering.)
TODAY’S SHARPLES MENU
Lunch: French bread pizza, crinkle cut fries, Tuscan bean bake,
succotash, peas, Greek bar, magic cookie bars
Dinner: Grilled strip steak, duchess potatoes, pasta with sauce, wild

NEWS REPORT
* With 84% of precincts reporting, Senator John Kerry had 39% of the
votes in the Wisconsin primary compared to Senator John Edwards’ 35%.
The strong showing by Edwards came as a surprise, leading some to
believe that the Democratic race is narrowing to a two-person field.
Howard Dean, despite his weak showing, still plans to continue through
Super Tuesday.
* Pakistan recently began helping U.S. troops in tracking down al
Qaeda
members in order to crush the terrorist network. With the U.S. on one
border of Afghanistan and the Pakistanis on another, leaders hope to
drive al Qaeda troops towards U.S. and Afghani fighters. Al Qaeda has
taken to attacking peace keepers, aid workers, and civilians.
* In a continuing effort to crack down on illegal file sharing, the
RIAA
sued another 531 people in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Orlando, and Trenton.
So far, the computer users have only been identified by IP addresses
and
are using the courts to find names and addresses. The common outcome of
these cases is an out of court settlement.
