The Afghan side is waiting to get the letter this evening, CBS News has learned.The Loya Jirga, a traditional council of 3,000 prominent Afghans, can revise or reject any clause of the draft agreement.

A few days after former Vice President Al Gore conceded the 2000 presidential election, he and former President Bill Clinton had what sources described as an hourlong blunt exchange, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.In what sources close to both men described as uncommonly blunt language, Gore forcefully told Mr. Clinton that his sex scandal and low personal app stanley us roval stanley cups uk ratings were a major impediment to his presidential campaign, the Post said.People close to Mr. Clinton told the newspaper the former president responded with equal force that it was Gore s failure to run on the administration s record that hobbled his ambition.

They had to cover a lot of territory, said one Dem stanley mugs ocrat, whom the paper described as being close to Mr. Clinton and Gore.

Former Pennsylvania Sen.

Sometimes sitting on the sidelines watching two people destroy each other creates an opportunity in and of itself, Santorum told reporters on Monday as he toured a PGT Manufacturing, a window manufacturing plant here. As we saw in South Carolina, the race changed dramatically in a matter of days, in a week and we ve got better than a week here before the Florida vote and lets just see how this race starts to evolve.

Army General stanley tumbler Gustave Perna, the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed, acknowledged during a briefing on Saturday there was a miscommunication with states about how many doses of Pfizer sCOVID-19 vaccine would be initially available to them.Perna s briefing came after more than 10 states were told this week the number of doses of the vaccine they were expecting to receive next week has been cut, with little information as to why.

Perna said that Operation Warp Speed would not cut corners in distributing the vaccine. He announced that distribution has begun, with FedEx and UPS Wrja Obama: We Knew Enough to Stop Terror Attack
This is not the end of the Clinton story. If we know anything about Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton it is that there is always another chapter, and it will not fail to be interesting. But her departure from the presidential race Saturday almost certainly does mark stanley quencher the end of the longest and most important thread of the Clinton story. For nearly 40 years the presidency has been the organizing principle of their lives together. Her appearance at the National Building Museum to thank supporters and endorse Barack Obama represents the final, fading light of a shared dream. Both Clintons decided at young agesmdash;years before they ever met each othermdash;that they wanted lives swimming in the main currents of history. Both impressed a succession of teachers, friends, and mentors that they were destined to do just that. Once they became a couple, in 1971, they spent a generation working and climbing to position him to run for president. Starting in 1991, they spent what is now nearly another full generationmdash;time does move onmdash;winning the office, keeping it in the face of a remorseless opposition, and positioning her to replicate his achievement. Could it happen yet You can fashion scenarios. Maybe Obama decides he does want her as garrafinhas stanley vice president after all. Or he l stanley thermobecher oses in 2008 and a regretful party concludes she was the better choice and turns to her in 2012. Or he serves two terms and then she gets to run in 2016, at a

A lot of us put ear buds in our ears, but that about as intrusive as mainstream headphone-wearing gets for us humans. This pair of bird headphones is a bit different. Epoxied to this little guy skull, this set of special headphones is blasting some off-key tunes so scientist can learn how bird auto-tune works. The minds behind this project are Samuel Sober at Emory University in Atlanta and Michael Brainard of the University of California, San Francisco who aim to find out more about how birds tune them stanley cup selves in mid-song. When the bird sings, the headphones which although attached to the skull are at least cushioned play back a pitch-shifted version of the song to see how the bird reacts. It turns out if the pitch shift is small, they ;ll try to f stanley quencher ix it, but if it way off, they ;ll just ignore it, probably because they don ;t even recognize it as themselves. What the ultimate goal of this research Ostensibly to learn something cool about how birds hear themselves, and let all just hope that it; I ;m perfectly fine with my own non-bird headphones that I can take off at will.

Forget the cheesy fedoras and femme fatales for a moment. Film noir was, at its heart, about light a stanley quencher nd shadow, hope and despair, good and evil 8230;and the difficulty of distinguishing everything in between. For this week Shooting Challenge, rediscover noir. The Challenge Capture a stanley cup photo in the film noir style. That means black and white with low-key lighting. Does it mean detectives and dames Not necessarily. Go for the feeling and the tone, first and foremost. The Technique If film noir is known for anything, it low-key lighting. All this term means is, rather than evenly light a scene with a number of bulbs, one light fires from one angle only. This creates deep shadows where traditional wisdom would advise you fill the dark pools with another light. Of course, you don ;t need to light your scene with a single light in a literal sense. Just go for strong whites and deep blacks high contrast. For this sort of lighting, I really dug this simple tutorial that shows how a single light can work with a figure. The Example Our lead photo is from one of the earliest and most iconic examples of film noir, 1955 The Big Combo. Note its lack of texture, even within the smoke in this case. This frame is all about shape and contrast, figures and a disquieting frame within the frame. The stanley cup Rules 1. Submissions need to be your own. 2.
