Two tons of Georgia boiled peanuts to go to troops in Iraq Daniel Yee THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FOREST PARK, Ga. — Soldiers in war often yearn for the comforts of home not found on the battlefield — a new pair of socks, a package of homemade cookies. Soon, members of Georgias 48th Infantry Brigade will be receiving something they can’t find anywhere else: boiled peanuts from their home state. Two tons of the peanuts — about 5,000 store-ready, 12.5 ounce packages labeled “The Country Caviar” and “Georgia Fresh Green Peanuts” — were loaded into four Iraq-bound shipping containers on Tuesday. It’s expected to take a week for Atlanta-based shipping giant UPS Inc. to deliver the shipment of Hardy Farms peanuts to the brigade’s 4,300 soldiers. “There’s enough peanuts for every one of them to get a pouch,” said Rex Bullock, the Pitts, Ga., farmer who helped “Operation Boiled Peanuts” get off the ground. “Peanuts are a big crop for Georgia. This is something you’d eat if you grew up in the South.” The project started when one of Bullock’s former employees, Spc. Clark Rountree, made a simple homesick request in late July — he yearned for boiled peanuts amid the parched sand and 130-degree temperatures of Iraq. © ZEUS Internet Marketing Specialist Zeus Industrial Products, Inc. is the leading manufacturer of fluoropolymer tubing for use in the medical device, aerospace, electronics, analytical, semiconductor, and environmental industries.

Nation Cell phone ban urged for teenage drivers New drivers have enough things to worry about without, adding cell phones and other wireless devices to the mix, federal safety regulators say. They want all states to make it illegal for teenagers and other novice drivers to jabber on phones. The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday voted to add to its annual list of “Most Wanted Safety Recommendations to States” a ban on novice drivers using any wireless communication devices. “Learning how to drive while distracted is definitely a recipe for disaster," said the board’s ( chairman, Mark Rosenker. World Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter dies at 96 Concentration camp guards stood with their rifles ready, awaiting the order to fire at Simon Wiesenthal and other prisoners standing on the edge of a pit where their bodies would topple. The future Nazi hunter waited to die. And waited. Hours later, after many of the condemned slumped in exhaustion, the camp commandant delivered a reprieve: Soviet troops were coming and the prisoners would be taken away. “We thought we were going mad," Wiesenthal later wrote. “Perhaps we feared (or hoped) we were mad already. " Wiesenthal, who died Tuesday in his sleep at his Vienna home at age 96, was driven by his memories of the Holocaust to fight for justice for its victims, dedicating himself to tracking down Nazi war criminals and to being a voice for the 6 million Jews who perished. Chileans look to help Andean mining town SEWELL, Chile — This old mining town high in the Andes has no streets. It has stairs. Its houses and shops spread across two mountain slopes at an elevation of 7,250 feet, too steep for vehicles. Seen from a distance, the town looks like a pyramid of steps flanked by buildings painted in vivid hues of green, yellow, red and blue, i* Chileans are striving to restore a town that played a historic role in the birth of the copper industry, the country’s main export. The government, which declared the town a national monument in 1998, hopes to persuade UNESCO to add it to the U.N. agency’s list of World Heritage sites. Sewell was founded a century ago as home for hundreds of miners working shafts at nearby El Teniente, the world’s largest underground copper mine.
