In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African-American school and killing 14 of them. Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their affidavits, the suspects’ “final act of violence would be when they attacked Obama while wearing white suits and top hats and driving “their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows. The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share “very strong views about White Power. Schlesselman listed “being racist as his occupation on his Myspace page. He further wrote: “I’m white. I’m proud. I get angry. I like guns. Cowart also had a Myspace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of “My Guns . On his page he wrote, “Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees. Some have questioned the pair’s ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party. “We honestly don’t know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked about, said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times. “But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is. Cowart and schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday. 【查看更多】

Dear Customers,

I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read — as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories, and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.

Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines, and newspapers.

We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands — to get out of the way — so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed — you do your reading directly from the device.

We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.

Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces — less than a paperback — but can carry two hundred books.

Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!
