A little over two decades ago Rose Harn's normal life ended. That's when a drunken teenager plowed into her car causing debilitating and irreversible injury to the 58-year-old mother of three from Nampa, Idaho. Since that time, her husband Michael has transported his bed-bound wife to events where Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) set up booths. Their trips came to a halt in August when the pair was asked to leave the fair they had appeared as volunteers at the MADD booth.

The interstate highway system is the economic lifeblood of the United States. Cargo trucks, shady vans, and locals all jostle for position on the wide open roads with the occasional shady car full of personal possessions signaling a cross country move on the cheap.

Terrorist Hunter: Terrorist or Freedom Fighter? Defender of Freedom or loony-bin wack-job? The question recently came to light during the case of Michael Curtis Reynolds, a regular old white American who was recently convicted of trying to help Al Qeada plot to blow up oil pipelines and other key American energy installations. Part of his defense -- which only took the jury an hour to dismiss -- was that he was actually a terrorist hunter posing as a terrorist who would later turn over the theoretical people he collaborated with to the proper authorities.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum is something of a legend on the campus of Idaho State University. His research isn't really ground-breaking, nor has he cured cancer, but he has gotten a lot of publication and press, though it's not usually the kind that scientists are known for.
