And in the News Today...

Dow Industrials Plunge More Than 500: "The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 500 points today before gaining some of it back. The Dow dropped 546.02, or 4.3 percent, to 12,086.06 before recovering some ground. It was down 360.42, or 2.85 percent, at 12,271.84 with about a half hour of trading left."

Cheney unhurt in blast outside Afghan base: "A suicide bomber attacked the entrance to the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan Tuesday during a visit by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, killing up to 23 people and wounding 20 more."

NASA to pull hail-pummeled shuttle off launch pad: "The U.S. space shuttle Atlantis will be moved from its launch pad to a hangar due to damage caused by a hailstorm to the fuel tank, NASA said on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear if the move would delay the next launch, which is scheduled for March 15, but the U.S. space agency generally needs three weeks to ready a shuttle for liftoff once it is on the pad."

And I honestly don't know what to say about this one.
