Veterans Become Pro-War Candidates
He's also part of VoteVets.org, a counterpart to Iraq Vets for Congress that has created Internet ads for anti-war veterans seeking office.

Legal counsel rules on hangar use by Dokter
Big Bear Airport Manager Garry Dokter shouldn't have done it. Storing his plane in the X-22 hangar at the airport for free was a gift and a violation of the Conflict of Interest code within the Political Reform Act.Big Bear Airport board vice president Gary Steube read the opinion of district's legal counsel Elizabeth Martyn at the Feb. 6 meeting. Dokter's storage of the plane was a gift, according to Martyn. The monthly rent for the hangar is $390, which is the gift limit for a public employee in a calendar year.However, Dokter stored the plane in the hangar from November 2007 until Jan. 8, 2008. Steube said he would look into how long the plane was stored and make a correction to the statement read into the minutes of the Feb. 6 meeting and also ask for a correction of Martyn's legal opinion.The conflict of interest code requires public employees to disclose gifts of greater than $50 from an individual within a calendar year and prohibits gifts greater than $390.
Enraged Investors Turn on UBS's Ospel
Mr Ospel resisted calls for his resignation, saying: "I intend to ensure that UBS gets back on the road to success." UBS has been the worst casualty of the credit crunch among Europe's major banks. In a series of announcements, it has been forced to take $18bn (£9.1bn) of charges after its investment bank got burnt trying to compete with Wall Street rivals in racy credit markets that collapsed last summer. The writedowns caused UBS to post a loss for 2007 -- the first since the bank was formed nearly 10 years ago. In a further blow, the bank is also facing a claim for losses by HSH Nordbank, a German lender, on $500m of collateralised debt obligations that HSH alleges UBS "dumped" on it before the market imploded. The world's biggest wealth manager is raising SFr13bn to shore up its capital position and retain the trust of rich, cautious clients in its core private banking business.

Police Seek White, Thin Man In Killing
The man, whom police have called a "person of interest" but not a suspect, was seen by neighborhood residents about the time of the killing Monday on Madison's South Side. Police spokesman Joel DeSpain on Friday said detectives now are comfortable describing the man as white and having a thin build. Before Friday, police hadn't released a race for the man, because of conflicting witness reports, or an estimated weight or body shape. The man also was said to be about 6 feet tall and was last seen carrying a new-looking, bluish-gray backpack and wearing a white knit cap with a red W on it. He was described as wearing a tan, sheepskin-type jacket, though police aren't sure if it had a hood or not. .
