but say Obama still has to prove he can get the new voters to the polls. In 2004, 1 million new voters registered in Florida, but Democrats lost by a bigger margin than in 2000.
“The machine that has been put in place by the Democrats is effective,” said Republican Brian Krolicki, the lieutenant governor of Nevada. But, he added, “There’s a difference between successful registration and a ground-swell. It’s mechanics versus momentum.”
As the deadline arrives Monday for voters to register in many states, Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is poised to benefit from a wave of newcomers to the rolls in key states in numbers that far outweigh any gains made by Republicans.
In the past year, the rolls have expand-ed by about 4 million voters in a dozen key states — 11 of them Obama targets that were carried by George W. Bush in 2004 (Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico,

In Florida, there are well more than double the number of newly registered Democrats as Republicans this year. In Colorado and Nevada the ratio is 4-to-1; in North Carolina, it is 6-to-1. Even in states with nonpartisan reg-istrations, the trend is clear — of the 310,000 new voters in Virginia, a disproportionate

A massive pumpkin is missing from the front yard of a home in suburban Flint, Mich. — and its owner suspects some mighty strong thieves. The 450-pound pumpkin had been on display for only a day at the Grand Blanc Township home of Bill Teer. He spent five months growing the Atlantic Giant. Teer is offer-ing $200 for the pumpkin’s return. He figures someone must have seen it — or at least the small team required to steal the colossal squash.

Here’s a safe bet for uncertain times: A lot of banks won’t survive the next year despite the U.S. government’s $700 billion plan to restore order to the finan-cial industry.
The questions: How many banks will perish and how they will be put out of their misery? Will it happen in outright closures by regulators
Hundreds of banks are likely to fail despite financial rescue plan
Not as many banks are likely to fail as in the S&L crisis, largely because there are about 8,000 fewer today than there were in 1988.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the problems won’t be as costly or as unnerving; banks are much larger than they were 20 years ago, thanks to laws passed in the 1990s.
“We just had a big party where people and businesses overbor-rowed,” said Joseph Mason, an econ-omist. “We had a bubble and now we want to get back to normal. Is it going to be painless? No.”
scrambling to preserve the dwin-dling deposit insurance fund, or will the end come in fire sales made under government pressure?
Enfeebled by huge losses on risky home loans, the banking industry is now on the shakiest ground since the early 1990s, when more than 800 federally insured institutions failed in a three-year period. That was during the clean-up phase of a decade-long savings-and-loan melt-down that wound up costing U.S. taxpayers $170 billion to $205 bil-lion, after adjusting for inflation.
The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Dem-ocrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed fed-eral limits as well as illegal contri-butions from foreigners.
RNC officials acknowledged that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama’s campaign.
The complaint asks the Feder-al Elections Commission to audit Obama’s campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters. The Obama campaign did not immedi-ately respond to a request for com-ment.
The government’s commitment to spend up to $700 billion buy-ing bad debts from ailing banks is likely to save some institutions, but analysts doubt it will be enough to avert a major shakeout.
“It will help, but it’s not going to be the saving grace,” because a lot of banks are holding construction loans and other types of deteriorat-ing assets that the government won’t take off their books, predicted Stan-ford Financial analyst Jaret Seiberg. He expects more than 100 banks nationwide to fail next year.

Warning: Young children should not keep hedgehogs as pets — or hamsters, baby chicks, lizards or turtles, for that matter — because of risks of disease.
That’s according to the nation’s leading pediatricians group in a new report about dangers from exotic animals.
Besides evidence that they can carry dangerous and sometimes potentially deadly germs, exotic pets may be more prone than cats and dogs to bite, scratch or claw — put-ting children younger than 5 partic-ularly at risk, the report says.
Young children are vulnerable because of developing immune systems, plus they often put their hands in their mouths and are awkward at handling animals, the report says.
That means families with chil-dren younger than 5 should avoid

carry, said Dr. Larry Pickering, the report’s lead author and an infec-tious disease specialist at the fed-eral Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For example, about 11 percent of salmonella illnesses in children are thought to stem from contact with liz-ards, turtles and other reptiles, Picker-ing said. Hamsters also can carry this germ, which can cause severe diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.
Data cited in the study indicate that about 4 million U.S. households have pet reptiles. According to the American Veterinary Medical Asso-ciation, all kinds of exotic pets are on the rise nationwide, although generally fewer than 2 percent of households own them.
The veterinarian group’s Mike Dutton — a Weare, N.H., exotic animal specialist — said the rec-ommendations send an important message to parents who sometimes buy exotic pets on an impulse, and “then they ask questions, sometimes many months later.”

Mortgage finance company Fannie Mae said it is forgiving the mortgage debt of a 90-year-old woman who shot her-self in the chest as sheriff’s deputies attempted to evict her.
Fannie Mae announced Friday that it would dismiss its foreclosure action against Addie Polk’s mortgage and allow her to return to the Akron home where she’s lived since 1970. Polk remained in Akron General Medical Center and was expected to recover from chest wounds.
“I’ve lived here for at least 10 years, and before that ... I was in either Arlington or Alexandria — up in communist country.”

Without EU-wide plan, governments scramble to rescue failing banks
The deal came after two days of closed-door talks between the Paris-based bank, Fortis and gov-ernment authorities in an effort to restore confidence in the company before markets open Monday.
In Iceland — particularly hard-hit by the credit crunch — govern-ment officials and banking chiefs were discussing a possible rescue plan for the country’s overstretched commercial banks.
British treasury chief Alistair Dar-ling said he was ready to take “pret-ty big steps that we wouldn’t take in
ty of his or her investments. Hours later, her government announced a new bailout package totaling $69.2 billion for Hypo Real Estate, Germany’s second-biggest commer-cial property lender.
At the same time, Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme said France’s BNP Paribas SA had committed to taking a 75-percent stake in For-tis NV.
Leterme said the Belgian and Luxembourg governments would, in turn, take a blocking minority share in BNP Paribas.
Egypt sent its foreign minister to Iraq Sunday for the first time in nearly two decades, in a sign of growing Arab accep-tance of the country’s Shiite-led government.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said his visit was aimed at helping Iraq face its “many challenges,” including extremism, violence and sectar-ian hatred.
It was the first visit to Iraq by an Egyptian foreign minister since 1990, when President Saddam Hus-sein invaded Kuwait and his regime was largely shunned by Arab gov-ernments.
Also Sunday, 11 people died dur-ing a U.S. raid on a house in Mosul, where an extremist detonated a suicide vest. Five “terrorists,” and three women and three children, were killed, according to the state-ment. No American casualties were reported.
Iraqi police officials in Mosul said all 11 of the dead were family members.

Turkish war-planes have bombed Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq, the military said Sunday, two days after rebels killed 15 soldiers in an attack staged partly from Iraqi soil.
The planes on Saturday bombed rebel hideouts in Iraq’s Avasin Basyan region and returned safely to their bases, the military said.
Attack follows Kurdish rebels’ deadly assault on Turkish soldiers
The military’s deputy chief, mean-while, accused leaders in northern Iraq of tolerating the rebels.
“We don’t receive any kind of support from the local administra-tion in the northern part of Iraq,” Turkey’s Gen. Hasan Igsiz said Sunday. “Our expectation from them is to accept that the terrorist organization is a terrorist organi-zation and eliminate the support provided to it.”
Turkey is urging Iraqi Kurd-ish leaders to arrest the rebels and cut their supply lines, after rebels
on Friday fired mortars and artil-lery from Iraqi soil onto a military outpost in a Turkish valley in Aktu-tun, killing 15 soldiers and at least 23 insurgents.
Turkey’s civilian leaders have vowed to respond firmly to the rebels from the Kurdistan Work-ers’ Party, or PKK, which has been fighting for autonomy in the south-east since 1984.
But on the streets of Turkey, pub-lic anger toward Turkish leaders has mounted with each funeral held for the slain soldiers.

A Pakistani wish list for the next U.S. president might read something like this: an end to cross-border strikes on mili-tants, more aid for the country’s bat-tered economy and greater support for its elected government.
But few people here expect to be satisfied with whoever enters the White House — a sign of the difficulties ahead for the United States in winning public sympa-thy at a critical time in the war on terrorism.
Pakistanis, many of whom speak English well, have been treated to considerable coverage of the U.S. race via local newspapers and
Activists in Hyderabad, Pakistan, demonstrate against U.S. strikes in Pakistani tribal areas. Few Pakistanis expect to be satisfied with the next U.S. president.
Few citizens see policy differences between presidential candidates
television channels. Few, however, are seeing substantive differences between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.
“Maybe Obama appears harsh-er, but McCain is sugarcoating the same bitter pill,” said Anwar Mah-mood, a small business owner.
Dealing with nuclear-armed Pakistan and the spillover of the Afghanistan war into Pakistani
territory is one of the biggest for-eign policy challenges awaiting the next U.S. president.
Obama has openly supported U.S. strikes in the lawless and rug-ged border region, and has ques-tioned whether Pakistan has done enough to fight militants despite receiving more than $10 billion in U.S. aid since 2001.
McCain says engaging Pakistanis is vital to defeating extremists, and that cross-border strikes shouldn’t be discussed “out loud.”
His vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, raised eyebrows when she appeared to endorse Obama’s more hawkish tone on Pakistan. McCain was forced to defend the remark, saying it was not meant to be taken as a policy statement.
“I don’t see much difference in essence in their approaches, so I don’t see any change in the policy, whoever comes to power,” said Kha-lid Mahmood, a longtime Pakistani diplomat.

The fatal crash of a Maryland State Police medical rescue helicopter a week ago has reinvigorated a debate about the future of the country’s only state-run air ambulance sys-tem and added new urgency to an effort to create stricter national standards for when to fly critically injured patients to safety.
Some Maryland lawmakers said the crash, which killed four, has increased pressure on the gov-ernor and the legislature to either privatize the service or find money to replace the aging fleet, even as a predicted billion-dollar shortfall
Rescue helicopter crash adds more pressure to replace aging fleet
threatens funding for almost all state services.
“I feel terrible that an accident like this is what’s bringing atten-
tion, but that’s the reality that we’re in,” said Delegate Dan K. Morhaim, D-Baltimore County, co-chair of the General Assembly’s Joint Commit-tee on Health Care Delivery and Financing.
Morhaim, a doctor of emer-gency medicine, said he strug-gles with the notion of spending so much money on an entire new fleet — 12 helicopters for between $120 million and $200 million — when dozens of other health pro-grams that could potentially reach a far greater number of state resi-dents could be funded in a year for less than the price of one new helicopter.
Because the patients being transported last week in the medevac may not have been seri-ously injured, some critics say the Sept. 27 crash in Prince George’s County is emblematic of a ten-dency to overuse medevac flights and put lives at risk unnecessarily.
A new statue pay-ing tribute to abolitionist Freder-ick Douglass has been installed in Judiciary Square.
Crews placed the 850-pound bronze likeness of Douglass in the lobby of One Judiciary Square on Fourth Street in Northwest Wash-ington on Saturday. Maryland sculptor Steven Weitzman created the piece, which was ordered by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
The 7-foot-tall statue features the orator standing by a lectern as he delivers his renowned 1852 speech on slavery and the Fourth of July.
Douglass was born into slav-ery in Talbot County, Md., around 1817 or 1818. As an adult, his mas-ter sent him to work in a Baltimore shipyard before Douglass disguised himself as a sailor to escape north to freedom. His autobiography, published in 1845, was a best-sell-er that helped fuel the abolitionist movement. After the war, Doug-lass spoke at Abraham Lincoln’s funeral and advocated for women’s rights.

Rosalba Posada can tick off a list of problems she has encountered trying to use prepaid calling cards to stay in touch with family back in Colombia.
There were the cards that didn’t deliver as many minutes as prom-ised and the cards that charged extra fees to call a cell phone. There were the cards that offered several hundred minutes of calling time but began deducting minutes if the minutes were not all used in a single call. There was the card that had already expired when Posada tried to use it just a few months after buying it. And there was the card that simply didn’t work at all.
“Some of those prepaid calling cards are good for nothing,” said Posada, a high school registrar who lives in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and now uses Skype, a free Inter-net calling service, to talk with her family. “All they do is make some companies rich while we, the cus-tomers, have no say.”
Maria Hernandez stocks shelves with long-distance calling cards at Bodega Yakimex in Yakima, Wash. The prepaid calling card business is a $4 billion-per-year industry.

Over the past decade, the pre-paid calling card business has mush-roomed into a $4 billion industry that has injected new competition into the market for international phone calls and provided a critical lifeline to connect immigrants with family and friends back home.
But consumer watchdogs and government officials warn that certain segments of the market are plagued by fraud and decep-tive practices that give consumers fewer minutes than they pay for and tack on all sorts of hidden and unfair “junk fees.”
These charges and fees often end up leaving buyers with far fewer minutes for calls than they thought they were getting.
The Hispanic Institute, a non-profit advocacy group, estimates that the average calling card deliv-ers only 60 percent of the min-utes promised — cheating con-sumers out of $1 million a day.

I haven’t bought any iPod accesso-ries like cases or “skins.” With the exception of the scratch-prone plas-tic on the first iPod nano, I’ve found that most of these things stand up pretty well to abuse. You might pick up some scratches or scuffs here and there, but — c’mon, we’re not talking jewelry here. It’s OK if your iPod (or other media player) looks used after awhile.

Another road win against a division opponent has the Wash-ington Redskins in perfect position to make a run at the NFC East.
Clinton Portis ran for 145 yards and one touchdown, wide receiv-er Antwaan Randle El threw a TD pass, and the Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles 23-17 on Sunday.

defense. The Eagles had allowed just 53.8 per game on the ground. Shaun Suisham kicked three field goals beyond 40 yards, helping the Red-skins overcome a 14-0 deficit.
Jason Campbell threw for 176 yards and Washington’s offense didn’t commit a turnover for the fifth straight game.
Portis ran in from the 4 to give the Redskins a 23-14 lead early in the fourth quarter. Washing-ton started the drive at the Eagles 43 after a 28-yard punt return by Randle El and a personal foul pen-alty on Tank Daniels at the end of the play.
Washington took its first lead at 16-14 on Randle El’s 18-yard TD pass to Chris Cooley early in the third quarter.

loss, 26-24. They’ve now played all three division rivals on the road and their next three opponents — Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis — entered this week with a combined record of 1-10.
The Eagles (2-3) are danger-ously close to having to look ahead to next season. They were the only NFC East team to miss the play-offs in 2007, finishing last for the second time in three years. With Donovan McNabb healthy coming into this season, they were hoping to make a run at the Super Bowl. Instead, they’re buried in last place again.
DeSean Jackson had a 68-yard punt return for a score, but the Eagles couldn’t generate much on offense. Brian Westbrook, back after missing a game with an ankle injury, had just 84 total yards.
Meanwhile, Portis piled up the yards against the league’s best run

The New York Giants embar-rassed the Seattle Seahawks with a nearly flawless performance in a 44-6 victory Sunday.
Eli Manning, who was 19-of-25 for 267 yards, threw two touch-downs, Brandon Jacobs ran for two
Even without leading receiver, New York wins 8th straight game
more and the unbeaten Giants scored on their first five possessions.
The win was the eighth straight for the Giants (4-0) dating to last year’s playoffs, and it gave the defending Super Bowl champions their best start since 1990, when they posted a 13-3 record and won the NFL title. The Giants rolled up 523 yards in total offense, their most since collecting 524 yards against Green Bay in 2002.
Not only did the Giants win, but they did so with leading receiver Plax-ico Burress suspended for a game for missing a team activity on Sept. 22.
It was another bad East Coast trip for the Seahawks, who are 1-6 in their last seven cross-country f lights. The four-time defending NFC West champions are now 1-3, their worst start since 2002. They were limited to 187 total yards.
Thanks to John Danks and the White Sox, Chicago still has one team standing.
Danks pitched another big game to save the season, and well-traveled DeWayne Wise delivered a two-run double as the White Sox beat Tampa Bay 5-3 Sunday, trimming the Rays’ lead in their AL playoff series to 2-1.
Game 4 in the best-of-five match-up is Monday in Chicago, with Gavin Floyd facing Tampa Bay’s Andy Son-nanstine.

Less than 24 hours after the Cubs were swept out of the playoffs by the Dodgers, dashing Chicago’s hopes for a crosstown World Series, the White Sox avoided elimination before a black-shirted, white towel-waving
crowd of 40,142 in their home park. Danks, who beat Minnesota 1-0 last Tuesday in the tiebreaker for the AL Central title, shut down the Rays for 6 2/3 innings. Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth, striking out Carlos Pena with a nasty curveball with a runner on for his fifth postseason save.
He had four in 2005, includ-ing two in the World Series victory over Houston. After the Rays won 6-4 and 6-2 at home, the White Sox were revived at U.S. Cellular Field, where they were 54-28 this season.

Rachael Yamaga-ta knows that a sizable portion of her audience might never hear her new album the way she intended. Due out Oct. 7 via Warner Bros., “Elephants ... Teeth Sinking Into Heart” consists of 15 tracks spread over two CDs, one with ballads and one with rockers.
The idea, the New York-based singer-songwriter says, was to pres-ent “two different sound experienc-es” in a manner that preserves the emotional purity of each. “Of course, it’s all going to end up on iPod shuf-fle anyway,” Yamagata says with a laugh. “I accept that that’s how it goes these days. But I didn’t want to help that process along.”
As its atypical presentation suggests, “Elephants” reintroduc-es an artist who has undergone some changes since the release of her 2004 debut, “Happenstance.” That album slotted easily into the early-’00s girls-gone-mild craze that erupted in the wake of Norah Jones’ success. But the new disc is an artier, more cerebral affair, with introspective arrangements full of chamber-goth piano and jagged-edged guitar.
The first disc’s centerpiece, “Sun-day Afternoon,” stretches beyond the nine-minute mark. “This record isn’t really going for mass appeal,” Yamagata says. “Nothing on it strikes me as a traditional pop-ra-dio hit. If anything breaks, it’ll be because the audience was waiting for this kind of sound.”
“We were working in a studio isolated on a mountain in upstate New York,” adds Bright Eyes mem-ber Mike Mogis, who produced the bulk of “Elephants.” “Mood-wise, if that darker feeling wasn’t in there prior to going up there, it certainly got added while we were there.”
Perry Watts-Russell, senior vice president of A&R at Warner Bros., says he’s proud of the label “for supporting me and Rachael with a record that is not what would be perceived as conventionally com-mercial.”
For her part, Yamagata, who will hit the road this fall with the all-girl Hotel Cafe tour, still can’t believe she found a home for her latest creation. “Right off the bat, Warner Bros. started talking to me about ‘Sunday Afternoon,’” she remembers with a laugh. “I was, like, ‘You’re a record label and you fell in love with a song that goes on for nine minutes and 13 seconds? Really?’”

Pickler hopes her new, eponymous country record sounds like a winner.
Kellie’s Post-‘Idol’ Pickle
Although Kellie Pickler’s first album garnered three hits, went gold and made the singer a star, it wasn’t the debut she would have crafted had she had her own way. “Small Town Girl,” released in 2006, was put together in a hurry to capitalize on her sudden fame from being one of the finalists on “Ameri-
While Pickler’s first album went to No. 1 on the country chart, one of country music’s biggest superstars is “Idol” winner Carrie Underwood, who took the crown in 2005. Her sound is country-pop, not unlike Underwood’s. Both women are also petite blondes with powerful voices. But David Scarlett, senior editor of Country Weekly magazine, said Pickler has shown she has her own sound. Said Scarlett: “When you hear one [on the] radio, you know who it is.”

can Idol.” Pickler was working on songs over the phone with Nashville co-writers while on an “Idol” tour and didn’t have much input in the CD’s direction. “It was so rushed,” said the North Carolina native.
She doesn’t have those concerns with her new self-titled sophomore effort — an album that is arguably the introduction to the real Kellie Pickler. The 22-year-old picked the producer, the songs and even the cover art of the new CD. She also co-wrote half the 10 tracks.
We thought not, but Yamagata will release her jagged album “Elephants ... Teeth Sinking Into Heart” with Warner Bros. Tuesday.

James Earl Jones, who has voiced some of entertainment’s most memorable characters, will receive the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. SAG Presi-dent Alan Rosenberg called Jones “a vocal presence without peer.”
“His long and quiet devotion to advancing literacy, the arts and humanities deserves our apprecia-tion,” Rosenberg said Thursday.
Jones, who said he was mute as a child because of a stuttering prob-lem, credits reading with helping him find his voice.
“Through a love of reading, I was able to overcome my muteness and pursue a career in which my voice would be my most prominent asset,” the 77-year-old actor said.
He is known to fans of all ages as the voice of Darth Vader in “Star Wars” and Mufasa in Disney’s “The Lion King.”
Jones has several honors, includ-ing two Tony awards, three Emmys, an Oscar nomination and the National Medal of Arts.
He will be presented with the Life Achievement Award at the Screen Actors Guild awards on Jan. 25.
Jones is also a devoted advocate of the arts.
America’s Voice Is Honored
“Beverly Hills Chihuahua” was barking up the right tree with moviegoers, who put the Disney comedy at No. 1 for the weekend with a $29 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Ghost Story for Wee Ones
Neil Gaiman, author of adult fantasy brain-benders such as “The Sandman” series, takes on an orphaned boy who is lost in a graveyard and adopted by resident spirits.

Cemeteries don’t scare Neil Gaiman. The best-selling author of fantasy fables finds them “incred-ibly peaceful places.”
“I love going to graveyards. I love going to graveyards not because they’re spooky, but because there’s something marvelously restful. You know, you’ve got all these headstones. They have these won-derful little messages on them,” Gaiman says.
Gaiman’s latest work, “The
Graveyard Book,” takes place in a cemetery where an orphaned boy is raised by a vampire, a werewolf and a witch. The seed for the idea was planted about 25 years ago, Gaiman says, when he was living in his native England and would take his young son Michael to ride his tricycle in a nearby cemetery.
Inspiration struck. Gaiman thought he could write a book similar to Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book,” about a child adopted by wild animals. Instead, he would write about a child “who is adopted by dead people and taught all the things that dead people know.”
After more than two decades of
starts and stops, Gaiman finally fin-ished his novel last year. He launch-es a U.S. tour this week, reading a chapter of the eight-chapter book in each city (one long chapter will be split in two). Video of each read-ing will be posted the next day on Gaiman’s new, kid-friendly Web site, Mousecircus.com, where fans can view it for free. When Gaiman wraps up the tour Oct. 8 in St. Paul, Minn., he will have read the entire 312-page book.
The book opens with a baby boy’s escaping an assassin who has massacred his parents and older sister. The boy totters to a decrep-it cemetery, where he’s adopted by ghosts. “Essentially, the world of the graveyard is this glorious extended family,” says Gaiman, who chose a British cemetery as the book’s set-ting so his hero could interact with historic characters.
A Kuwaiti official says authorities abruptly ended a music concert by an Egyptian singer in this conservative Muslim country when a young female fan jumped onstage, hugged the male singer and kissed him.

Olympic medalist Misty May-Treanor, who’s been triumphing on “Dancing With the Stars,” may be benched. She was injured — no one’s saying where, but her ankle is rumored — and received medical attention Friday.

For a woman on a mis-sion with a reputation for angry, Ani DiFranco has finally sat herself down and taken a deep breath.
On her first album in two years,
DiFranco reflects on becoming a mother and seems more relaxed than her activist alter ego. Even the record’s title, “Red Letter Year,” sends a message of contentment.
The songs sound like vintage DiFranco, peppered with her pierc-ing electric guitar and poetic lyrics. The topics are the same, too. Fem-inism, strength, individuality and
introspection all come through, but this time around there’s no scream-ing. This isn’t the Ani DiFranco of the anguished 1997 live album “Liv-ing in Clip” or her acclaimed 1995 CD “Not a Pretty Girl.”
But it’s not all baby booties and good karma either. Known to have strong political opinions, DiFran-co lashes out, just not as often. On
“Alla This,” she writes: “I can’t sup-port the troops cuz every last one of them is being duped.”
But it seems some of the room in her writing that was reserved for political and societal anger has been taken up by the happiness she’s found in motherhood.
The track “Present/Infant” is almost a rock ’n’ roll lullaby for her daughter, an uplifting song that has the once-bitter DiFranco singing, “I’ve got myself a new mantra. It says: Don’t forget to have a good time!”

Cable TV has final-ly gotten the hint. Flipping houses just isn’t in vogue anymore. I was intrigued by the fact that HGTV was adjusting to new realities with the series “My Big Amazing Ren-ovation” (9 p.m., HGTV), which puts the emphasis on improving an existing home instead of trying to buy a new one.
Unfortunately, the accent here is on “Big” and ludicrously expen-sive. The properties under reno-vation tend toward the gargan-tuan. In one episode, we watch a 1,500-square-foot bungalow be transformed into a 5,000-square-foot “dream” home. Whose dream
viewer is supposed to take away from watching a high-strung client bossing around a harried contrac-tor. Gone are the days when HGTV shows taught us skills like caulking. Now it’s all about watching people spend other people’s money.
Then just imagine the “after” version of this house.

Some Broadway shows are legendary for their success, and some for their failure.
Stephen Sondheim’s “Anyone Can Whistle” ran for nine performances in 1964 before closing. Depending on who you ask, it was ahead of its time or
it was massively incoher-ent. Either way, it’s become a cult favorite with peo-ple who have cult favorite Broadway musicals, and
the Signature Theatre is producing a one-night-only concert version star-ring regulars Will Gartshore and Tracy Lynn Olivera. Oh, the plot? It’s about a tiny town that manufactures a miracle to bring in tourism and what happens when the members of a mental institu-tion escape.

Liam Gallagher belts out the band’s mediocre tracks.
How the Mighty Fall The general consensus is
that Oasis lost the plot with its third record, 1997’s “Be Here Now.” Even the band dismisses the CD as over-bloated.
But there was no redemption for the Gallagher brothers with Oasis’ fourth record, 2000’s “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.” Not only did the CD include a typo in its title, confirming the Gallaghers’ status as entertaining dullards, but it was dipped in neo-psychedelic effects to cover for its lack of catchy songs.
The title of Oasis’ seventh album, “Dig Out Your Soul,” has all the words spelled correctly, but it won’t make anybody forget “Definite-ly Maybe” (1994) or “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” (1995). In fact, after hearing the wholly unin-
spired “Dig Out Your Soul,” you may not even reach for Oasis’ first two records again, fearing you might have misjudged them. (Don’t worry:
They’re still great Brit-pop albums.) It’s tempting to try to place every Oasis song with its Beatles ante-cedent, but “Dig Out Your Soul”
often looks to the decade after the Fab Four’s demise for its inspira-tion — particularly 1970s British glam-rock, but with none of its sexy swagger. Still, “To Be Where There’s Life” has sitar and backward tape effects and “The Shock of the Lightning” gibberishly states “love is litany/a magical mystery,” because Noel Gallagher always has to nick something from the Beatles.
“Waiting for the Rapture” is an example of “Dig Out Your Soul’s” other primary weakness: its utter halfheartedness. The Noel-sung tune just peters to an end, with the elder Gallagher apparently ready to welcome the rapture flat on his back. Even regular singer Liam Gallagher can’t muster any of the sneer that helped make early Oasis songs such snotty joys. The CD ends with “Solider On,” though at first I was hoping Liam was moan-ing, “So long.” Alas, no such luck.

Peggy Noonan began her political life as a Reagan speechwriter and now makes her liv-ing as a columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Her work is considered serious, but
it’s always imbued with a classical femininity and gentleness — which is rare and not necessarily desirable in a political columnist. Noonan’s new book, “Patriotic Grace,” decries the current political climate and encourages every-one to come together in a mannered way and get along. She was a foot soldier
in the Reagan revolution once upon a time (maybe she stood next to John McCain!), so if that’s your thing, you should go. Borders,1801 K St. NW; 6:30 p.m., free; 202-466-4999. (Farragut West)

Phelps rides home with a wave |
Pleasure in the Cubs’ defeat |
Making sense of the bailout |
The idea of paying a single, simple fare to fly on an airliner is becom-ing as quaint as stewardesses in short skirts.
American Airlines is about to accelerate the trend of breaking the cost of a trip into an airfare plus many smaller fees.
Starting next year, American, which led a stampede by U.S. car-riers to charge customers for check-ing even a single suitcase, plans to imitate the a la carte pricing struc-ture pioneered by Air Canada, air-line officials say. There are likely to be a few basic fare plans, and trav-elers can pick additional services — for a fee.
Fans of “unbundling,” as it’s called, say it gives travelers lower base fares with the option of pay-ing for extras that they really want, from beverages to blankets.
Some travelers are wary, how-ever, and suspect the airlines are
American Airlines’ Dan Garton, left, talks about the customer’s experience. The airline plans to initiate a la carte pricing structure next year by “unbundling” charges for passengers.
Fare Trade-Offsjust trying to chisel them a few bucks at a time.
Telephone and cable compa-nies have been using this pricing approach for years to offer extras such as premium channels and pay-per-view events.
Now airlines see unbundling as a way to boost revenue and defray sky-high prices for jet fuel. In recent months, they have added and increased charges for fuel, checked baggage, changing flights, upgrading from coach and other services.
There may be no going back to all-inclusive fares, even with the recent decline in fuel prices.
“We, as an industry, have opted to not just raise [ticket] prices but to raise prices and change the fee structure,” said Daniel Garton, American Airlines’ executive vice president of marketing. Without fees to offset rising costs, “you’re not going to be talking about fees
— you’re going to be talking about lost service ... being able to have a flight to San Diego,” he said.
UAL Corp.’s United Airlines expects to raise $700 million a year from fees. Northwest Airlines Corp. estimates baggage charges will
bring in $150 million to $200 mil-lion a year. Continental Airlines Inc. predicts it will generate more than $100 million just from a new $15 fee for checking a single bag.
Airlines have grown more sophisticated at wringing every
last dollar out of a flight, partly by lowering and raising fares based on supply and demand. Much of this magic, called “yield management,” is invisible to passengers, but it results in people in the same cabin paying wildly different amounts for the same flight.
Executives at Air Canada, which revamped its fare structure and began unbundling five years ago, look down their noses a bit at the actions of their U.S. counterparts, saying a la carte pricing should be about transparency and customer choice, not simply revenue.
Air Canada went through bank-ruptcy earlier this decade, and when it emerged in 2004 it was losing customers to low-cost rival West-Jet Airlines Ltd. Air Canada fought back by creating a bare-bones ser-vice to compete with WestJet fares, with extra amenities for picking a fancier plan.
On Air Canada’s Web site, trav-
elers pick from four fare levels. The top tickets, called Latitude and Executive Class, are fully refund-able and come with priority check-in, food and other goodies.
The cheapest fare, called Tango, requires extra fees for upgrades such as a food voucher, advance seat selection and airport lounge access. Tango passengers can save another $3 by declining frequent-flier miles or not checking a bag.
Air Canada passengers give the airline credit for making fares understandable — “It’s nice to know where I could save money,” said Amanda Kruzich, a cosmet-ics company marketing rep who recently flew on Air Canada from Toronto to Dallas.
Still, Kruzich said she would rather have an all-inclusive fare.
“I feel nickel-and-dimed when I have to pay extra for everything,” she said. “Just throw it all in and tell me what the fare is.”

I hope that the average consumer will be able to refinance his house and get a car loan. If you’re not looking to refinance, then per-haps you will be able to get a loan to buy your first home.
I think there is enough blame to go around. There is clearly not enough effective regulation in place to prevent banks and investment banks from making bad loans and taking on too much debt. I also believe that credit conditions were too easy and the Federal Reserve kept interest rates way too low for too long. The combination of low interest rates, lack of regulation and speculative mania were the causes of this situation.
I think we have been in a reces-sion for the last several months. The best evidence of that is the monthly employment reports that continue to show job losses across the economy. I think the federal government’s response will deter-mine the length of the recession. If this current plan is effective in

returning liquidity to the credit markets, perhaps we can avoid a protractive recession.
The $700 billion isn’t really a loan. The $700 billion will be used by the government to purchase assets from troubled banks. If done correctly, the value of these assets purchased should rise over time, making the taxpayer whole. The government will be increasing its debt level to fund these purchases. No, we can’t really afford to do this, but we prob-ably can’t afford not to do it, because the credit markets are completely frozen.

This is a good time to turn over a new leaf. Even a bro-ken promise can be successfully revived — and honored.
What you’re only imagining may actually come to pass — provided you make a few key decisions while in the right state of mind.
You are in need of both mental and physical stim-ulus. Without one working in tandem with the other, you are sure to become disenchanted.
You can use the element of surprise to your distinct advantage, but you must take care that you are sympathetic to those around you.
You may find yourself ruled by baser instincts; be sure not to have anything really piv-otal on the line right now.
You’re not
about to give up until you’ve attained precisely what you’re after — no mat-ter how much you may have to sacrifice in the process.
A challenge that arises is likely to be more social than professional. Concentrate on playing the game at arranged functions.
You may be struggling with a co-worker over triv-ial issues, letting the big picture get away from you — possibly for good. Use care.
You may not know quite how to express what is on your mind, but be willing to try. Others are expecting you to come through.
Don’t be so unstructured and imaginative that those working with you do not know what you are striving to accomplish.
You’re sure to be intrigued by the approach that a close friend takes in trying to get your atten-tion. Be open and receptive.
Don’t over-emphasize your own stake in a current project. You don’t want others to think you’re in it only for yourself.
