Woman crashes car into Midtown building
Then they were stuck in their house, depending on the kindness of neighbors and friends to take them to the store, going out to a show or for dinner etc. They went from being "active" to "captive." By contrast, Palo Alto could provide, should it choose to do so, alternative forms of transportation for people who do not drive by choice or are restricted from doing so. We have a great start with the Shuttle, but my dad cannot climb the steps to get into it. And it goes only to certain places in its current configuration at certain times. VTA does have its service, but I personally find it confusing, and it is not clear how it works for people without physical limitations that have been certified. I am not sure what the right approach is here, but there seems to be potential benefit to providing more robust means to people who really are better off not driving to get around.

Coup threat not yet over, says PNP chief
A small group of rebellious soldiers continue to pose a security threat to the Arroyo administration, which quelled a coup attempt last month by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and some junior officers. Philippine National Police chief Director General Avelino Razon Jr. made the assessment as he warned of more destabilization attempts until the middle of next year. "These people can still create a lot of trouble until the middle of next year," Razon said. "When election fever heats up the country by late 2008, they will become insignificant. They will be completely out of the political picture so they could become very desperate between now and that period," Razon said. Presidential elections will be held in May 2010. Mrs. Arroyo will not be eligible for re-election.
New Hampshire Is Again McCain's Focus
ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) -- New Hampshire made John McCain the last time he sought the White House. Now he's hoping the nation's first primary can save him. "We're moving up in the state. We're starting, in a sense, to see the same thing we saw in 1999, 2000. But we have a long way to go," the upbeat Republican presidential candidate told supporters during a six-day barnstorming of the state he won nearly eight years ago. By necessity, McCain is following a roadmap to the GOP presidential nomination that essentially boils down to the strategy he attempted in his first bid - use momentum from a New Hampshire win to try to triumph in South Carolina and beyond. He was thwarted from the party nod then. But he argues that two differences in 2008 work in his favor: the wide-open nature of the race, unlike in 2000, and a condensed primary calendar that leaves only 11 days between New Hampshire and South Carolina, with Michigan in between.
The main purpose in 'DMC4'? To make the characters — and you ...
The latter has a Devil Bringer arm that allows him to fight and move with magic abilities, while Dante has a briefcase that transforms into an arsenal of weapons, most of which are bigger than he is. Blasting dozens of demons, Kobayashi played stoically. And straight-faced was his expression when Gloria showed up or even when Dante started stabbing his sword at a monster yelling in typical "DMC" he-must-be-joking fashion: "First I whip it out, then I thrust it with great force." This is the series in which Dante even orders his pizzas in dramatic, if not always suggestive, fashion (see the beginning of "DMC3" for proof of that). Could it be that they design these games at Capcom in part to crack each other up? The humor angle didn't play with Kobayashi. "The main thing we try to strive for in the game is to make stylish and cool-looking action when you're playing the game," he said through a translator.
Twelve trees top home decorations
Prodigious party-givers, Teresa and Mike Dinger often stage elaborate fetes for their children, Haille, 9, and Hunter, 7. The events vary from gingerbread house-raisings to Shrek-theme soirees. Come Christmastime, the family's merry-making lasts a full month. And when the Dingers deck the halls, they raid a decorations-storage building of its contents, rent a U-Haul truck to bring it all home to Hixson and embellish the 4,500-square-foot residence with holiday finery from roof-line to rugs. "We want it to be magical for the children, a time they'll remember," said Ms. Dinger, 41, Siskin Hospital's marketing director, "but there aren't any no-touch areas. Everything can be replaced." .
