| Obama Wins South Carolina Open Thread
Exit polls are saying that Barack Obama won big today in South Carolina, taking more than 80 percent of the black vote. Maybe more important, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards are battling for second place. How might this change the nomination picture, and what does this say about the race card the Clintons have injected into the campaign? .
BAGGAGE CLAIMS: How to keep both your luggage and sanity during ...
Scott Mueller worked as a baggage specialist in the airline industry for nearly 20 years before he could start telling people his real advice on how to get their luggage from point A to point B."One of the biggest things, the thing that causes people to go to the hospital, is to never put medication you need in a checked bag," Mueller said. "Way too often, that bag gets delayed or never arrives ... my airline had to rush more bags to more people than I would've liked to see."In another time line, one where air travel remained a rare luxury with free drinks and plenty of leg room, Mueller's new book, "The Empty Carousel: A Consumer's Guide to Checked and Carry-On Luggage," would never need to exist.But anyone who has started planning or even thinking about visiting relatives or taking a short vacation this holiday season should know by now that they live in the real world.
Cougars put shooting woes behind them, trounce Lobos
The struggling sophomore power forward drained his first shot from the baseline and wound up with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 5-of-6 from 3-point range. "As soon as I made it, and I realized it, I was like, 'wow, I made my first shot,' " Tavernari said after a long hibernation from accuracy. "I hadn't made my first shot in a while." Sam Burgess (15 points) also experienced that good first-time feeling, nailing a 3-pointer that followed Tavernari's 16-footer to open a 5-2 lead. What seemed on the scoreboard to be no big deal was, in fact, the beginning of a colossal one. The rest of the Cougars (15-5 overall, 4-1 Mountain West) fed off that spark as BYU nailed 13-of-16 treys and shot 50.9 percent from the field. The Cougars had been hovering around, making just one-third of their attempts in each of the last three games, and December's non-conference play didn't finish so hot, either.

TheStar.com | Baseball | Jays unveil vintage jersey
The new road jersey replaces the one they've used since 2004. The team is hoping the new looks will bring some good fortune back to the team after an injury-marred 2007 season left fans, players and club officials with a bad taste in their mouths. "If we can stay healthy, we can do a lot of damage in the AL East," said Accardo. "We're in a tough division, but if we can get all these guys healthy, there's a lot more to do." .
Area businesses have gone to the dogs
It appears society is going to the dogs and cats. The pet industry last year provided $40.8 billion in products and services, such as food, toys and veterinary care. The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association said the industry will grow even bigger in 2008. Businesses in the Mahoning Valley are cashing in. “I'm seeing now our pets are being treated more like our kids," said Karen Simpson, a floor manager at Petco in Boardman. “The economy is not in great shape, but people are still spending." This is evident in the business that's sprung up around what used to be a mundane task — bathing a pet. Today, pet owners can turn this into a special event by taking their pet to a self-service wash or a specialized spa. “The pet industry is seeing a humanization thing where throwing them in the bath tub and scrubbing them doesn't seem to cut it," said Leah Nelson, a spokeswoman for the manufacturers association.

On the other hand the Chief Minister is also keen that his supporters are adjusted, especially Ravinder Singh Ravi from Kangra and Dr Rajiv Bindal from Solan district.
