Cain opens up, calls Obama a liar

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Not everyone needs to go to Disney World to have fun in central Florida. After one of Herman Cain's strongest showings yet at a Republican presidential debate Thursday, and two days with conservative activists in the state, he won the "Presidency 5" straw poll in Orlando over the weekend, beating front-runner Texas Gov. Rick Perry by more than 20 points. While straw polls are not scientific and their results can be poor indicators of whether a candidate will  win a party's nomination--the latest actual Florida poll put Cain near the bottom--they can help spark some momentum, especially for lower-tier candidates. For Cain, a 65-year-old businessman, mathematician, author and radio host from Atlanta, Georgia,...

The hottest housing markets in America

Living in a hot real estate market offers both home owners and home buyers some consolation amid this sustained economic downturn. But strong sales alone don't constitute a hot market - it takes rising prices, too. Online real estate valuation and search company Zillow has calculated the U.S. metro areas that have experienced the largest gains in home values over the past five years, based on the company's home-value estimates and its Zillow Home Value Index, which is generated from those value estimates. The five-year gains in estimated value range from 0.6 percent to 16.9 percent, while the estimated gains in dollar value range from $667 to $21,444. See full report: 10 Metros with Greatest 5-year Gains Methodology:...

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have a lot in common: They're A-list movie stars, they have dated Brad Pitt, and they can both stop traffic with their arresting good looks. Now there's one more similar thread: The two are fashion doubles. The celebs were spotted on different continents dressed like they had called each other to plan their matching outfits. Each was found carrying similar styles of the Tom Ford "Carine" handbag that features shiny black leather, a chunky gold clasp, and a two-toned chain strap. This luxe look doesn't come cheap: E! Online reports that the handbag runs a whopping $2,200. But it didn't stop there. The pair also seem to be wearing the same oversized, gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses. And in addition to the...

DEAD SEA, Israel (AFP) - Dawn over the lowest spot on earth illuminated a Dead Sea very much alive on Saturday, as more than 1,000 floating nude Israelis posed for a mass shoot by US photographer Spencer Tunick.The project, Tunick's first in the Middle East, is part of a bid to boost Israel's campaign to have the salt-saturated feature recognised as one of the world's seven natural wonders in a global online vote in November.Experts warn that the Dead Sea could dry out by 2050 unless urgent steps are taken to halt its demise.For Tunick, a Jewish American who has arranged naked human bodies over prominent landscapes and landmarks ranging from a Swiss glacier to the Sydney Opera House, a nude installation is an indicator of a host country's...

SYDNEY, Sept 18, 2011 (AFP) - - Deep in the silence of Australia's Outback desert an imposing American spy post set up at the height of the Cold War is now turning its attention to Asia's growing armies and arsenals.Officially designated United States territory and manned by agents from some of America's most sensitive intelligence agencies, the Pine Gap satellite station has been involved in some of the biggest conflicts in modern times.But its role in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans, and in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, had been little recognised until one of its most senior spies broke ranks recently to pen a tell-all account.Intelligence analyst David Rosenberg spent 18 years at the base, 20 kilometres (12.4 miles)...

Twentysomethings will need to save much more than their parents did for retirement Retirement won't be impossible for Generations X and Y, but they will need to save considerably more than the baby boomers to make up for less employer and government help. Fewer young people have access to generous retirement benefits, including traditional pensions and retiree health insurance. And anyone born in 1960 or later must wait an extra year, until age 67, to claim the full amount of Social Security they are entitled to. Those who claim at the same age their parents did will get less. Here are some ways 20- and 30-somethings can get on track to retire comfortably. Set a worthy goal. In a 2010 survey of 226 registered investment...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, in a populist gesture designed to appeal to voters, will propose a "Buffett Tax" on people making more than $1 million a year as part of his deficit recommendations to Congress on Monday. Such a proposal, among suggestions to a congressional Super Committee expected to seek up to $3 trillion in deficit savings over 10 years, would appeal to his Democratic base ahead of the 2012 election but likely not raise much in revenues. White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in a tweet on Saturday the tax would act as "a kind of AMT" (Alternative Minimum Tax) aimed at ensuring millionaires pay at least as much tax as middle-class families. The "Buffett Tax" refers to billionaire investor...

BEIJING — In the name of fighting pollution, China has sent the price of compact fluorescent light bulbs soaring in the United States.By closing or nationalizing dozens of the producers of rare earth metals — which are used in energy-efficient bulbs and many other green-energy products — China is temporarily shutting down most of the industry and crimping the global supply of the vital resources.China produces nearly 95 percent of the world’s rare earth materials, and it is taking the steps to improve pollution controls in a notoriously toxic mining and processing industry. But the moves also have potential international trade implications and have started yet another round of price increases for rare earths, which are vital for green-energy...

10 Fastest Cars of 2011

Every year, car manufacturers roll out new makes and models that push technology to the breaking point. Edmunds.com, an automotive-information Web site, evaluates these cars and explains what consumers are getting for their money. This includes engine design, cosmetic details, and, naturally, speed.

Some of the cars on this list are new models out this year, or rolling out the next. Others have remained mechanically unchanged for two or three years, but still...
