| Wells fires free-kick winner
The game only got the go ahead an hour before kick off as morning rain had made the pitch very heavy but fortunately the wind got up and blew the worst of the showers away and the game went ahead. Cambridge had fought a 2-2 draw at the Beveree earlier in the season but on this occasion never really got to grips with the conditions or the opposition. .
Safe behind the wheel
We're so new (as) drivers and I just think kids make rash decisions," Emily said. "It's not just about drinking and driving. It's about road rage, speeding, text messaging and not wearing your seat belt." Their efforts earned them second place in the 2006-07 FBLA state competition and the chance to go to national competition. And that's where it ended. Sort of. This year, Denise Russo, and Hailey Mackin, both 16, have taken the wheel of the CARS project. Last week, the two conducted mandatory assemblies in the school theater for all River Ridge High School students. Denise and Hailey were understandably nervous when they took to the stage. Not an unusual emotion when some of your peers - perhaps the "invincible" kind - are laughing it up in the back rows.
Del Norte seeking reliable Internet
A study for rural broadband connectivity is making its way to Crescent City, which could quell service disruption problems. Redwood Coast Connect is inviting the public to attend a meeting on making broadband more accessible to Del Norte from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday in the Cultural Center. There will be a short presentation before the meeting opens for public comment. Redwood Coast Connect is conducting a study to see where broadband services are needed and wanted in Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity Counties.

Redwood Coast Connect will also be handing out paper surveys and doing random phone surveys this month.
Ash-West superintendent warns selectmen budget override possible
The override would also restore and fully pay for several sports and activities that were either cut or required a fee, Zapantis said. The curriculum renewal cycle -- which reviews and improves school courses over a period of six years -- would also be included in the original override, Zapantis added. Selectman Chairman John Fairbanks asked if the district's $785,000 excess and deficiency account -- which is made up of excess money not used during the fiscal year -- should pay for such programs instead of an override. "We chose .

Atty: Drop Mass. Teen's Murder Charge
Thursday, March 6, 2008. Shapiro asked a judge to throw out the murder charge against his client, arguing prosecutors improperly told the grand jury that it should not consider the student's mental disabilities.

Buffett calls Dexter Shoe his worst deal ever
Rather than use cash, Buffett used Berkshire Class A stock to fund the purchase. That Berkshire stock is worth eight times more now, giving the Omaha, Nebraska-based insurance and investment company a $216 billion market value. Dexter didn't make it that long. It ended shoe production in the United States and Puerto Rico in 2001, and Berkshire folded what was left into its H.H. Brown Shoe Group unit. "What I had assessed as durable competitive advantage vanished within a few years," Buffett wrote on Friday. "By using Berkshire stock, I compounded this error hugely. That move made the cost to Berkshire shareholders not $400 million, but rather $3.5 billion. In essence, I gave away 1.6 percent of a wonderful business -- one now valued at $220 billion -- to buy a worthless business." "To date, Dexter is the worst deal that I've made," Buffett went on.

Terrorist's case shows Yemen's flexible justice
Jaber Elbaneh has been one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorist suspects ever since he escaped from a high-security prison two years ago in Sana, the capital of Yemen. So when Elbaneh, a 41-year-old American citizen, walked freely into a Yemeni courthouse where his conviction was being appealed Feb. 23 , the judge and the prosecutor were stunned. They asked him to show identification, which he did. Then the broad-shouldered, bearded convict - who is accused by American prosecutors of providing support to Al Qaeda - surprised them again: He gave a speech. "I've been sentenced to 10 years in this case, and three years in another," he said. "But it's wrong; I haven't committed any crimes in this country or the United States." He added that after his prison escape he surrendered directly to Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who absolved him of any more jail time.
Meredith Kercher's funeral held
Kercher, an exchange student from Leeds University, was found semi-naked with a deep cut to her throat. Her brutal death made international headlines after prosecutors revealed their belief that she was killed because she refused to have sex with one or more attackers. It also resonated with European students as thousands of young people like Kercher study under the Erasmus exchange programme. Perugia is a choice destination. A suspect in her murder, Rudy Hermann Guede, a 20-year-old man from Ivory Coast, was extradited back to Italy earlier this month from Germany, for questioning over the murder. Police say they had found fingerprints matching his on Kercher's pillow, which place him at the scene of the crime. He left Italy for Germany after the killing and was arrested there on November 20.
