He said this transaction, which will create a giant firm with 22 million customers, was truly exceptional in its scale and would not usually be allowed.

Yahoo said it will implement its much-criticised search ad deal with Google despite possible anti-trust hurdles.

Rumours the US justice department would challenge the deal grew this week when it hired a veteran anti-trust lawyer.

fully within the guidelines of the law

They also committed themselves to wait three and a half months to give regulators time to scrutinise it.

We are confident the agreement makes sense. We are committed to moving ahead

Remember this is a voluntary process we engaged in and we think it's really working in terms of helping the Department of Justice understand the issues.

It has certainly been a tumultuous time for Yahoo in the press and externally, but I think the thing people should take away is that we are continuing to innovate and to push the edge.

anyone who had been unable to use the tickets because of the fire would be given as much help as possible with continuing their journey.

The fire itself, because it's in a tunnel, it's in a confined space, produces a lot of smoke and a lot of heat for our firefighters to contend with.

Now that we know that both sexes exist in the wild, we should intensify efforts to understand their ecology and further their conservation.

tracking down this particular species in a great expanse of rainforest was even more difficult.

The conservationists then trained their torches on the undergrowth.

It is hard to describe just how unlikely it was to have discovered a female of this particular species.

The only time you ever come across a female is by chance.

I really think that this time we have had luck on our side.

It still seems that these critically endangered creatures are on the very brink of extinction - and although we have been intensively searching the streams all through the night, it appears that the density of the population is precarious.

It is imperative for the future conservation of Costa Rican amphibians that collaborative efforts harness the skills of biologists, researchers, educators and committed individuals, if we are to save these rare species.

The attacks, which triggered the US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the Bush administration's war on terror, are regarded as the defining moment of President George W Bush's time in office.

he paid tribute to the acts of courage shown by Americans seven years ago, saying: "The worst day in America's history saw some of the bravest acts in America's history."

It is the last time Mr Bush marks the anniversary as president.

a top US military commander warned new tactics were needed to win the conflict in Afghanistan, which the US and its allies invaded three months after 9/11.

They aimed to topple the Taleban and hunt down Osama Bin Laden, who the US believes masterminded the attacks.

with the price of oil having been driven to new highs, so the cost of gas has gone up too.

And this will be about 20% more than when wholesale gas prices peaked at the start of 2006.

Energy suppliers have running costs and overheads other than just gas.

Various authorities have been taking a close interest in the energy sector over the past year or two.

long-standing contractual arrangements among continental gas firms mean that even when demand is high here, such as in the winter, they are unwilling to turn on the taps and divert extra supplies to the UK.

The government does not believe in the state regulation of prices and has pinned its hope on competition to keep prices down, as has the regulator Ofgem.

Not quite. Apart from using less energy at home, you can still cut your bills by switching supplier.

This might seem a waste of time if you assume that all suppliers are likely to move their prices up, more or less in unison.

if you have never switched, or did so only a long time ago, you may well be on a tariff that is noticeably more expensive than the best deals you can find now, even from your existing supplier.

With prices rising, more bill payers are considering deals that fix the price of energy for a set period of time - British Gas, for example, said 2.1 million of its customers are on a fixed-rate deal.

the company has an eye on its future and declared that for web users "the best is yet to come".
The right way to think about search is as a science that will evolve.

Zoos are fun for families to visit.
They serve very important fuctions in educating people about animals they might never see otherwise.

These fresh eyes help them discover new ways of seeing old ideas or of inventing entirely new ones.
As a result of this perspective, young people have been credited with many scientific and technological discoveries.
In fact, it is the older generation who is following the lead of young people.

Given the technological advances in the military,...
Traditional strength is not needed for newer lightweight equipment and non-battle situation.
Women can bring their keen intelligence to help meet today's military needs.
Women are known to multi tasks and interpret well.
Also known are women's fine motor skills and reflexes that suit high tech position.
Military strategists welcome to different approaches to strategic thinking that women bring as a result of the way they process information.

a story from TIME.
Why Disasters Are Getting Worse
abstracts:  It's a misunderstanding that the climate change making the disasters happened in recent years worse.  The worser damage is a result of more people living in somewhere dangerous to live.

note:

If climate change is having an effect on the intensities of storms, it's not obvious in the historical weather data.
And whatever effect it is having is much, much smaller than the effect of development along the coastlines.
Human beings have been clearing away our best protections all over the world.
Before we become hopelessly lost in despair, however, there is good news: we can do something about this problem.
Increasingly, climate change is on people's minds, and that is all for the better.
Even if climate change has not been the primary driver of disaster losses, it is likely to cause far deadlier disasters in the future if left unchecked.

Mr Straw likened Britain's current economic situation to an airliner passing through turbulence.
UK can weather the storm.

Mr Straw refused to speculate on possible measures to bolster the ailing housing market.
Because of the credit crunch, because of the difficulty people find in getting mortgages, there is a market in the private sector that is, to say the least, not as buoyant as it was.
