Pte. Rob Adams, who was kneeling five metres from where the bomb landed and was completely engulfed by the fiery flash, received a concussive head injury. He was airlifted by helicopter to hospital at the coalition's Kandahar Airfield base. Although 17 Canadian troops were within 45 metres of the blast, and shrapnel splinters up to a half-metre long littered the farmer's field where the laser-guided bomb hit, nobody died. But nearly a dozen soldiers were blown through the air. We heard it coming. What went through my head was, 'I can't believe they bombed us,"' said one soldier who had been standing just over 10 metres from the impact point.

On a recent trip to California I stopped in at the San Diego Automotive Museum in San Diego's scenic Balboa Park. The museum is noted for housing some of the rarest and most beautiful cars ever created along with a fairly substantial collection of vintage motorcycles and assorted automobilia. As I moved past a jaw-dropping '32 Cadillac convertible coupe and a pristine coffin-nosed '37 Cord 812 Sportsman, I spotted the Tucker '48 Sedan in a corner exhibit. Finished in Waltz blue with extra large wide whitewall tires, the [Preston Thomas Tucker] is in original condition (except for a repaint) and is fully operational and roadworthy. Standing 60-inches tall, 79-inches wide and 219-inches long it is a very large, roomy car and would have carried a list price of $2,450.00. The car's Californ...

The series seeks to differentiate itself from the other medically themed series in this fall's pack (NBC's Mercy and CBS's Three Rivers) by focusing on the front lines of health-care delivery -- first-responder paramedics who respond to emergencies and provide crucial life-saving treatment under difficult and dangerous circumstances. The problem is that the act is so impetuous and the attraction so unlikely that there's little reason for the Billie-Zack relationship to continue beyond the series' premire. And as it does, in a strictly hands-off fashion, there doesn't seem to be much potential for heat to develop as Billie's waistline expands. [Jenna Elfman]'s an adept sitcom performer, but this material doesn't take advantage of her talents. It's unlikely Accidentally on Purpose will be...

Sliced and diced by a snaking grid of speeding motorways into grimy concrete sections with names like the Toy District and South Park, downtown L.A. is no Manhattan. For decades it's been derided for its lack of greenery and the thousands-strong homeless community along Skid Row. Take away Hollywood's helicopter shots of a glittering skyline and the heart of the city's core lies naked to the truth -- it's been a last resort. That's now fading into the past. In a place where mothers dress like their teenage daughters, downtown is trying to make itself look 20 again. Developers are equally ambitious across downtown on Bunker Hill, near Frank Gehry's monstrous stainless steeled and acoustically acclaimed Walt Disney Concert Hall. There another Gehry-commissioned spectacular, the Grand Av...

Theo Sabourin, [Luc Sabourin]'s brother and next door neighbour, was also evacuated. But he returned the next day and wouldn't leave after that. He said RCMP had agreed to check on his pumps and didn't. "I told them I'm going back no matter what you say. Very dangerous, yeah, but we have people who have lived here for how many years and have been through how many floods?" said [Martens], who could probably be a Don Cherry stand-in with his fondness for straight talk. "And people sitting in the head offices in Winnipeg didn't have the foggiest clue what was happening out here, and had no experience, and they're telling us where to go and what to do. That is wrong." "Our commerce did not notice there was a flood last year," said reeve Herm Martens. "I think it's really something when yo...

It's an 18-hole golf course. We don't know how far the water covers -- we'll have to go up in a helicopter to see -- but it has gone a long way. "Nature's going to do what she's going do," the mayor said. Red River flows are anticipated to slowly decline in the coming week, so there will be less force to move the jam. River levels within Selkirk are likely to decline even if the jam does not move, but a risk exists that levels may temporarily rise if frazil ice south of town moves past the bridge.

SOROTI, Uganda -- Tiny fish swim beside the dugout canoes that residents are using to escape their flooded homes, riding the water gushing through the streets of this eastern Uganda town. I've lost everything," Martha Amongin, 56, told The Associated Press in Magoro, a town in eastern Uganda that is surrounded by floodwater and has become inaccessible by road. "Life is going to be bad. "Some people are scared to get on the boat, they don't know water and they have never used a boat before," he said. "But what choice do they have?"
