| Obama and McCain ride momentum; Clinton feels the pressure
What does that say for the Hill'/Bill return to the White House? She might be a woman, but a very needy one! We had 8 years of the Clinton lying, cheating, twisting of truth, spineless response to initial attacks from Mid-east. Hillary is NOT a uniter and her husband makes it virtually impossible to be so. Do this county a favor and vote for ANYONE but the Clintons! .
Personal bankruptcies jump 96% in Metro Orlando
Amid the growing mortgage-debt crisis, personal bankruptcies nearly doubled in Metro Orlando last year, although they remained far lower than the record levels earlier this decade, according to court figures released this week.
Nearly 7,060 debtors declared insolvency in Orlando's federal bankruptcy court in 2007, up 96 percent from 2006, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida reported.
Fueled by the mortgage crisis, personal bankruptcy is reaching all levels of the income spectrum -- from affluent professionals to lower-income subprime borrowers, bankruptcy lawyers said.

Super Tuesday Won't Decide Nominations
Barack Obama. There will be nearly 1,700 Democratic delegates at stake on Feb. 5, enough to put a candidate well on his or her way to the 2,025 needed to secure the nomination. But even if somehow either Clinton or Obama won every one of those delegates, it wouldn't be enough. And with two strong candidates, the delegates could be divided fairly evenly because the Democrats award their delegates proportionally _ not winner-take- all. The biggest prizes among the Democratic states are California (370 delegates), New York (232) and Illinois (153). All three states award Democratic delegates proportionally, with most delegates awarded according to the popular vote in individual congressional districts, and the rest based on the statewide vote. The wild card for the Democrats involves the superdelegates, nearly 800 elected officials and members of the Democratic National Committee.
ORU alumni support sought
Uncertainty remained Saturday about what effect Richard Roberts' resignation as president will have on Oral Roberts University, but some observers said it was a step toward improvement.
"I think people are going to be waiting and watching: OK, can it survive without a Roberts at the helm?" said Donald R. Vance, professor of biblical languages and literature.
Vance said he thinks alumni need to support ORU as it undergoes this transition, after being led for 42 years by a Roberts. ORU professors are committed to the school's evangelical Christian mission, but that might not be obvious without a TV minister as president, he said. Christian colleges across the country are led by non-ministers -- "it will just be different for us."
ORU leaders have not addressed what role, if any, Roberts will have at the university.
Adams: Yes, I'm interested in Saints job
FORMER Saints player Micky Adams has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant manager's job at St Mary's. Adams made over 150 appearances during his spell at the Dell, between 1989 and 1994, and has previous managerial experience in the Championship with Leicester and Coventry. He guided the Foxes to promotion to the Premiership in 2003 against a backdrop of financial difficulties. The 46-year-old joined Colchester United as assistant boss last summer, but left the role earlier this month. Adams said he would be very interested in returning to the club he loves, this time as manager. "Obviously, it is a job that would interest me," he told the Daily Echo last night. "I am available for work. .
