Cracker company unveils cheesy sculpture in time for Fourth of July

A sculpture of the signing of the Declaration of Independencemadefromaone-tonneblock of cheddar cheese glistened on the sidewalk of Times Square in New York yesterday as an artist's tribute to the Fourth of July.

In-flight Cell Ban Advances In Congress

narramissic writes "The awkwardly named Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace (HANG UP) Act was approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on a voice vote Thursday. The bill would make permanent the long-standing ban on in-flight cell phone calls by the FAA and FCC.
