No Surprises as Haider U-Turns Again
In a move that reflects his favored leisure activity, Austria's most infamous bungee-jumper Jörg Haider has bounced back from his decision to quit politics to continue his controversial career.
His detractors call him a 'yuppie fascist', a 'xenophobic opportunist' and a 'Nazi apologist'; his supporters refer to him as a considerate person with great imagination and his wife calls him a man who has become more romantic with the years.

Wireless Color Mini Video Cam
This wireless mini camera was designed to be used in conjunction with our Desktop Rovers but that doesn't limit you to such use (get creative!). The PTV16 will arrive with two housings. A specialized one like the one pictured to your left which mounts on the desktop mini rover, and a plain box housing you can use for other applications.

CHECHENZ WITH ATTITUDES "STRAIGHT OUTTA GROZNY"
Proud to Be a Chechen, Y’all! President Vladimir Putin may have succeeded in using the so-called "anti-terrorist campaign" in the breakaway Caucasus republic of Chechnya to rally Russian voters behind his dirty election campaign, but Chechen forces continue in their struggle, repeatedly inflicting heavy Russian casualties through guerilla campaigns in the mountains and in those regions that the Russians claim already to have "liberated."
