"Mini
nuclear plants to power 20,000 homes." ... "Nuclear
power plants smaller than a garden shed and able to power 20,000 homes
will be on sale within five years, say scientists at Los Alamos [New Mexico],
the US [United States] government laboratory which developed the first
atomic bomb." ... "The miniature reactors will be factory-sealed, contain
no weapons-grade material, have no moving parts and will be nearly impossible
to steal because they will be encased in concrete and buried underground."
... "The US government has licensed the technology to Hyperion, a New Mexico-based
company which said last week that it has taken its first firm orders and
plans to start mass production within five years. 'Our goal is to generate
electricity for 10 cents a watt anywhere in the world,' said John Deal,
chief executive of Hyperion. 'They will cost approximately $25m [£13m]
each. For a community with 10,000 households, that is a very affordable
$250 per home.'" ... "The company plans to set up three factories to produce
4,000 plants between 2013 and 2023." ... "The reactors, only a few metres
in diameter, will be delivered on the back of a lorry to be buried underground.
They must be refuelled every 7 to 10 years." -By John

"30-minute
Obama ad shows campaign muscle." ... "[2008 Election
Democratic Presidential Candidate and Illinois Senator] Sen. Barack Obama's
30-minute TV ad, which ran simultaneously on broadcast and cable networks
at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, is muscle-flexing that has little precedent, a
campaign advertising expert said." ... ""It's evidence, if you needed any,
that the Obama campaign has more money than there is ad time left to buy,"
said Evan Tracey, director of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. "This
is flexing the muscles."" ... ""The strategic brilliance of this for Obama
is that he is going to consume about 24 hours of the news cycle," Tracey
said. "It boxes [John] McCain in, takes the oxygen out of the room."" ...
"In the carefully produced infomercial, Obama laid out his plans for the
economy and for bringing an end to the war in Iraq." ... "It also featured
stories of struggling families in swing states such as Ohio and Missouri
and included testimonials from high-profile supporters, including Kansas
[Democratic Governor] Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and New Mexico [Democratic
Governor] Gov. Bill Richardson." ... "Obama's Republican opponent, Arizona
Sen. John McCain, was not mentioned, nor was the GOP [GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican].
The spot ended with a brief, live Obama address to a rally in Florida,
another hotly contested state in this year's campaign." -By

- "Why
Gov. Bill Richardson didn't endorse Clinton: The
New Mexico governor says he was dismayed by pressure from the Clinton camp,
and impressed by Obama's optimism. Besides, 'you don't transfer loyalty
to a dynasty.'" ... "Before he endorsed [2008 Election Democratic Presidential
Candidate] Barack Obama, before he drew the wrath of the Clintons [2008
Election Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband,
former Democratic President Bill Clinton] and was likened to Judas, [former
2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and current Governor of]
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson nearly endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton
for president." ... "But Richardson hesitated, and as the Democratic campaign
turned ugly, he grew angry." ... "There was that "3 a.m." TV ad, in which
Clinton questioned Obama's personal mettle. "That upset me," Richardson
said." ... "There were some ham-fisted phone calls from Clinton backers,
who questioned Richardson's honor and suggested that the governor, who
served in President Clinton's Cabinet, owed Hillary Clinton his support.
"That really ticked me off," Richardson said." ... "Still, even as he moved
from Clinton toward Obama -- "the pursuit was pretty relentless on both
sides" -- Richardson wrestled with the question of loyalty. After 14 years
in Congress and a measure of fame as an international troubleshooter, Richardson
was named Clinton's U.N. [United Nations] ambassador, then Energy secretary:
"two important appointments," Richardson said." ... "He finally concluded
that he had settled his debt to the former president: He had worked for
Clinton's election in 1992, helped pass the North American Free Trade Agreement
as part of his administration, stood by him during the Monica S. Lewinsky
sex scandal, and rounded up votes to fight impeachment." ... ""I was loyal,"
Richardson said during an extended conversation over breakfast this week
at the governor's mansion in Santa Fe [New Mexico's capital]. "But I don't
think that loyalty is transferable to his wife. . . . You don't transfer
loyalty to a dynasty."" ... "He was impressed by the mostly positive tone
of Obama's campaign, and grew to appreciate the substance and depth of
their private conversations." (1, 2)

- "Attorneys
probe deepens." ... "The federal investigation into
the firing of nine U.S. attorneys could jolt the political landscape ahead
of the November [2008] elections, according to several people close to
the inquiry." ... "Washington’s attention has been diverted from the scandal
since the August resignation of Alberto Gonzales as attorney general, and
has focused instead on Democrats’ efforts to hold White House officials
in contempt for ignoring congressional subpoenas to testify on Capitol
Hill about the firings." ... "But recent behind-the-scenes activity in
several investigations suggests that the issue that roiled Congress in
2007 could re-emerge in the heat of the [2008] election year. Two inquiries
by the House and Senate ethics committees are examining whether several
congressional Republicans, including one running for the Senate this year,
improperly interfered with investigations." ... "As potent as the congressional
probes might be, they appear to be far narrower than a sprawling inquiry
launched by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG)
and the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)." ... "Investigators
from these offices have been questioning whether senior officials lied
to Congress, violated the criminal provisions in the Hatch Act, tampered
with witnesses preparing to testify to Congress, obstructed justice, took
improper political considerations into account during the hiring and firing
of U.S. attorneys and created widespread problems in the department’s Civil
Rights Division, according to several people familiar with the investigation."
... "The internal Justice Department probe cannot bring charges but can
refer findings to a U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia or a special
prosecutor, who could then pursue a criminal investigation." ... "[Former
New Mexico U.S. Attorney David] Iglesias’s case is in the crosshairs of
all three investigations. Testifying before Congress, he alleged last year
that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) pressured
him to accelerate an investigation of a Democratic politician in New Mexico
ahead of Wilson’s tight [2006] reelection bid. Iglesias said he did not
plan to bring charges before the November elections, and was fired in December
2006." ... "In a sign that the investigation has widened beyond the nine
fired attorneys, Justice last summer interviewed Thomas Heffelfinger, U.S.
attorney in Minnesota, who resigned before it was revealed that he was
targeted for dismissal." -By Manu Raju

is a [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate] Bill Richardson
man. He thinks the New Mexico governor, with his background as a United

of Energy, is well seasoned for the White House." ... "But Grove has a
backup plan." ... "If Richardson fails to qualify under Iowa's complicated
system of counting Democratic caucus votes, Grove says he will switch his
vote to former North Carolina Sen. [Senator and 2008 Election Democratic
Presidential Candidate] John Edwards." ... "Second choices usually don't
fare well in politics. In Iowa, though, being second could be critical
to success." ... "When Iowa Democrats caucus on Jan. 3, candidates who
receive less than 15 percent of the vote are considered nonviable. Their
backers have the choice of either going home or casting their ballots for
their second choice." ... "Grove picked Edwards as his second choice because
he likes Edwards' emphasis on helping restore rural America and his populist
message about the declining middle class." ... ""I like his fighting spirit,"
he said." ... ""His message really resonates with you. I just personally
like him."" -By Rob Christensen

could be prosecuted, McKay says." ... "The U.S. Inspector
General may recommend criminal prosecution of [Republican President Bush's]
departed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at the conclusion of an investigation,
possibly as early as next month, the fired former U.S. attorney for Western
Washington told a Spokane audience Friday." ... "His refusal to open a
federal criminal investigation into voter fraud allegations in Gov. Chris
Gregoire’s razor-thin victory over Republican challenger Dino Rossi in
2004 [election] may be the reason he was fired, John McKay told the Federal
Bar Association." ... "Appointed by President Bush in October 2001 to the
top law enforcement job in western Washington, McKay said he believes he
and seven other U.S. attorneys were fired last December by Gonzales for
political reasons, perhaps with former White House chief of staff Karl
Rove pulling strings." ... "Gonzales “lied about” reasons for the firings
when questioned under oath in July by the Senate Judiciary Committee and
now has hired a lawyer and is refusing to answer questions from the Inspector
General, McKay said." ... "“There was a conspiracy to politicize the Justice
Department,’’ the former U.S. attorney said, “and they did not get away
with it.”" ... "[Former New Mexico U.S. Attorney David] Iglesias has filed
a Hatch Act complaint, alleging Rove and other White House officials may
have violated that federal law in his firing." ... "[Former San Diego,
California U.S. Attorney Carol] Lam has said she believes her firing was
tied her office’s aggressive investigation of Rep. [California Republican
Representative] Randy “Duke” Cunningham, a Republican congressman who later
pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion." -By
