Video and graphic: How the Navy shot down satellite
A U.S. missile on Thursday, Feb. 21, smashed a disabled spy satellite that was headed for Earth, an unprecedented mission for the Navy. Marine Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said officials had a "high degree of confidence" that the missile, launched from a Navy cruiser, hit exactly where intended — destroying the toxic fuel tank that officials said could kill if it fell to a populated area on Earth. The military concluded that the missile had successfully shattered the satellite because trackers detected a fire ball, which seemed to indicate the exploding hydrazine in the tank. A vapor cloud also suggested the destruction of the fuel, he said. Click the graphic at left, "Targeting a Dying Satellite," to learn more about how the mission was carried out.

Car Renters Beware: Credit Card Insurance May Not Have You Covered
BOSTON, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SmarterTravel.com, a comprehensive online travel resource, has announced a three-part article series on car rental insurance that every traveler needs to read. In the past, SmarterTravel, along with other industry experts, advised travelers not to purchase collision/loss damage waivers (CDW) because it is generally overpriced and many credit cards offer identical coverage. The advice has always been: use a credit card with collision coverage and you'll be protected through its policies. Moreover, any card that covers collision damage repair also covers "loss of use" (LOU) charges. However, in taking a closer look at the no-cost collision coverage offered by several major credit cards, SmarterTravel found that some credit card companies require a vehicle log. Travelers are learning quickly that credit card coverage is not as fool proof as it sounds.

Study: Casino plan overstates jobs
We cannot improve or build a region's economy based on an industry that depends on our citizens losing billions of dollars every year," Bailey said in a prepared statement. Meanwhile, Rep. Daniel Bosley, D-North Adams, sent out a position paper disputing the governor's claim that casinos are "inevitable." In it, Bosley argues that the tribe's plan to build a $1 billion Indian casino in Middleboro faces bureaucratic hurdles. "There are so many hoops that the native tribe would have to jump to get to a point where the governor thinks they would be," he said. Patrick has hired Spectrum Gaming to do an analysis of his plan. That $189,000 study won't be done for another two to three months, perhaps after the issue is decided. "I think a lot of people have their minds made up," Bosley said.
