Cyclone hits Mozambique
Cyclone Jokwe lashed Mozambique Island before hitting the northern coastal province of Nampula, traveling with winds of up to 130 kilometres per hour, Radio Mozambique said. No casualties have been reported and the extent of the damage is not yet known. The government declared a red alert, the highest level, in Nampula and a lesser, yellow, alert in the central provinces amid fears the storm will cause more damage. Cyclone Jokwe is moving in a southwesterly direction toward the inland districts of Nampula and is expected to hit the central province of Zambezia on Monday, bringing with it moderate rain. The cyclone brushed the northern tip of Madagascar on Wednesday before crossing the Mozambique Channel. Flooding - the worst since 2001 when 800 people died - is slowly subsiding in many parts of northern and central Mozambique.
Researchers solve decade-old mystery of hydrogen storage material
Environmentally friendly hydrogen gas fueled vehicles can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the countrys dependence on sources of fossil fuel. Though several hydrogen vehicles exist on the market today, there is still much room for improvement in the way that hydrogen is stored on-board the vehicle. With current technologies, hydrogen gas storage tanks have to be as large as or larger than the trunk of a car to carry enough gas to travel only one to two hundred miles. .
Paris Hilton has new boyfriend, reality show
The "war against our will" continues because Americans are so apathetic that they can't be bothered to vote out of office whoever fails to change the course in Iraq. The buck stops with American citizens, as in any democracy. In terms of citizenship, you're as lazy and irresponsible as these celebrities you're obsessed with. .
OCTOPUS GARDEN: Should Lindros be in the Hall?
Will he be inducted in the Builder category? His stubbornness ultimately contributed to the Colorado Avalanche mini-dynasty." Remember, the Nordiques/Avs got Peter Forsberg from the Flyers for Lindros. (And the Wings thank him for that.) CBSsports.com ran a poll asking if Lindros should make the Hall, and the last time we checked, 62% said no. A Hockey News poll was running 66% negative. So it might be a tough sell. The real problem might be that Lindros couldn't live up to others' expectations. He just wasn't the Next One he was supposed to be. Isn't Igor a lock? Speaking of this year's induction class, there wasn't room for Igor Larionov, who had a stellar international career, was a trailblazer for Russian players coming to the NHL and played a key role in three Stanley Cup winners for the Wings.

Obama, McCain Win Wisconsin Primaries
Barack Obama racked up another victory Tuesday night, defeating Hillary Clinton by a wide margin in the Wisconsin Democratic primary while also proving he can win big in a primary-style election in a state with a small minority population. Meanwhile, John McCain won both the Wisconsin and Washington Republican presidential primaries, besting longshot rival Mike Huckabee. Democrats were awaiting results in the Hawaii Democratic caucuses. Washington also held a Democratic primary, but it was a beauty contest only, awarding no delegates. Speaking in Texas, where he had already traveled to get a jump on the March 4 race there, Obama briefly mentioned the Wisconsin victory in a 45-minute speech that was raucously received by the estimated 20,000-strong crowd. "We just heard we won tonight in Wisconsin," Obama said to catcalls and applause.
