0 Will China surpass America in space?

China's space plans are ambitious, incremental and extensive. Should Americans be worried that China will overtake us in both space exploration and military capability in space? No, not yet. This week, China successfully achieved its first manned space docking with the launch of the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft that carried two men and China's first female astronaut. Part one of China's Project 921, a 30-year plan for space exploration that was approved in 1992, is complete. This is progress, indeed. Project 921 is the result of China's fear of being left behind in the development of space technology. Part one was about attaining human spaceflight....

0 Romney too timid on emigration

Now that President Obama has put the immigration issue front and center, Mitt Romney can't avoid the subject any longer. Romney needs to answer two simple questions: "What specifically are you going to do about the estimated 800,000 "DREAM'ers" at the center of President Obama's announcement last week - those young illegal immigrants under age 31 who, because they've graduated from high school or served in the military, are being told they'll be spared deportation? Would you deport them or let them stay in the United States?" And during his speech Thursday to the annual conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed...

0 Fergie: I don’t want to be ‘upsetting about sucking in my stomach’

There's no denying Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie (born Stacy Ferguson) has one of the best bodies in pop music — but even she has her insecurities. "I've learned to be more accepting of myself," she reveals in the July issue of Self magazine. "I'm 37, not 18, and I've got the lines to prove it." Fortunately, Fergie's got the body of an 18-year-old, but admits she has to work out a lot in order to keep her body toned and trim. "I want to be able to run around without worrying about sucking in my stomach!" It helps that her husband, "Transformers" actor Josh Duhamel, is also a gym rat.

0 Hollywood fetch out big guns for a superhero this summer

Comic book fans aren't the only ones expected to assemble in theaters Friday. Judging by its early international box office take, "The Avengers" -- the superhero equivalent of a musical supergroup -- should blow away the competition, kicking off the summer movie season as a hit with a wide spectrum of moviegoers. Early tracking estimates see it as possibly beating "The Dark Knight's" then-record opening weekend from 2008, which "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" overtook last summer. Not to be outdone, the final chapter in the Batman trilogy, "The Dark Knight Rises," also has high expectations of its own to meet on July 20. ("Rises"...

0 Mitt Romney Outpacing Reagan at This position in the Presidential battle

Mitt Romney's strategists say history is on their side, at least in one sense. They say Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is ahead of where challenger Ronald Reagan was against President Jimmy Carter in June 1980, a campaign Reagan eventually won handily. That June, Carter had 39 percent support, Reagan 32, and independent John Anderson 21, according to the Gallup Poll. Reagan went on to defeat Carter in the November election, 51 to 41, with Anderson at 7. A recent analysis by University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato buttresses the point. "Remember that this [Reagan-Carter] race appeared close until the...

0 GOP mood in the direction of Romney's fall forecasts brighten

Republicans riding high from a string of breaks in their favor are increasingly optimistic about Mitt Romney’s chances to claim the White House in November, even among conservatives who had qualms about making him the party’s nominee. The bullish take is reflected in interviews with party strategists and activists, including people who supported Romney rivals during the primary season. Mood matters because it can fuel fundraising and volunteer hustle. But some of those GOP players stress that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has little room for error if he expects to topple an incumbent president. The chest-thumping follows a GOP...
