Bush draws crowd at Kansas City rally
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush energized more than 500 supporters during a 50-minute rally at Kansas City's Downtown Airport yesterday mom ing.
Joined by four Republican governors, Bush told the crowd, "I want you to know my spirits are high. I'm ready for the next two weeks."
The rally was the nominee's first stop on a "Barnstorm for Reform" tour, taking him next to Des Moines, Iowa, and Milwaukee.
The Texas governor outlined his plans to reform Social Security, Medicare, education funding and the tax code. He fielded questions from the crowd, drawing the biggest cheers for his remarks about farmers. He called agriculture a national security issue and promised to end policies that run farmers off their land.
Bush was joined by Govs. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, Bill Graves of Kansas, Kenny Guinn of Nevada and Bob Taft of Ohio. Taft requested a moment of silence for Missouri's late Gov. Mel Camahan, a Democrat killed in a plane crash a week ago.
The prepared text of Bush's speech opened with a paragraph devoted to Camahan, describing him as "a fine man and a good servant of the people here in Missouri."
However, Bush did not read that paragraph in delivering his speech.
His only mention of Carnahan came in response to a question having to do with the flow of water in the Missouri River.
Bosnian War tensions blamed for bar assault
ST. LOUIS — Leftover hard feelings from the Bosnian war were thought to be responsible for an assault in a St. Louis bar frequented by Bosnian immigrants.
About 1 a.m. Sunday, Damir Didovic and his brother Mirsaid began closing their bar, Sweet P's, in the Bevo neighborhood of south St. Louis. About six men with baseball bats arrived at the front door, according to Shirley Rukic, a patron and friend of the owners.
Damir Didovic was beaten and taken to Barnes-Jewish Hospital to be treated for two broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Rukic said. A hospital representative would not confirm that Didovic, 36, had been admitted.
The attack was unusually severe, the patrons said, but it was just the latest in a series of brawls that have managed to further drive a wedge in the region's Bosnian community, which numbers from 20.000 to 30.000.
The conflict has its roots in their wartorn homeland. Sweet P.'s patrons, who call themselves West Bosnians, long ago allied themselves with Finkret Abdlic, a Bosnian Muslim businessman who established an "autonomous" region in northwest Bosnia with an eye toward toppling the government in Sarajevo.
Cell phones to track location of customers
WASHINGTON — Cell phones soon will give wireless companies an idea of the whereabouts of customers and make it possible to market services to users based on where they like to shop and eat.
Before companies take advantage of these new business opportunities, the wireless industry wants the government to craft privacy rules.
The push for a nationwide policy by the leading wireless trade group — the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association — comes even as companies look to offer new location-based services on wireless phones. Consumers could receive a coupon for a free bagel on their phone as they walk by their favorite coffee shop, or someone stuck in a traffic jam could get information on alternate routes nearby.
The wireless industry was required by law to build more specific location technology into its networks so that public safety officials could pinpoint people making 911 calls from their cell phones. Companies are looking to harness that capability for new revenue opportunities.
But the benefits come with potential annoyances for consumers — such as getting unwanted ads on their phones—and privacy concerns.
