 roadLevi Johnston and Bristol Palin are apparently finished.

 roadNigerian gay activists speak out about anti-gay human rights abuses, specifically a new bill outlawing same-sex marriage: "The new law would mean prison sentences for gay people who live together, and anyone who 'aids and abets' them. The plea by activists was made to a public committee of the National Assembly which is discussing the bill.

It is already illegal to have gay sex in Nigeria but the new law would extend police powers to arrest suspects."

 roadObama "fast-tracking" global warming response?

 roadApple intros new iPod shuffle that speaks to you, telling you what song is playing and who's performing it.

 roadMan escapes from burning tanning bed.

 roadCalifornia Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George wants more security in courts, was glad Prop 8 was televised: "Televising court hearings on major issues such as gay marriage is a "giant civics lesson," he said. 'It
makes people better understand and appreciate the ultimate decision of
the court in any area,' he said. 'Whether they agree with it or not, at
least they don't just get the bottom line of who won and who lost. They
see what goes into the process.' George said the court's
decision in the Proposition 8 case could make it tougher for its
justices to win retention elections because it will upset people on one
side of the gay marriage issue. But he also said he doesn't worry about
that sort of thing. 'You've got to hang up your robe if you have to worry about looking over your shoulder,' he added."
