DAVID AXELROD
April 20, 2008
Barack Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, admits that his campaign is not all positive.
"Our negative view is not of Hillary Clinton, our negative view is of the politics of Washington. It's broken, it has to be fixed, and you can't do that when you wink and nod at the very practices that are essentially corrupting the system and making it difficult to get anything done."

DICK DURBIN
April 20, 2008
Illinois Senator, Dick Durbin, says that Obama will not allow the Republicans to define him.
"When it comes to all these comments behind closed doors, we're living in this YouTube era now, where almost anything can be taped and played back, that's the reality of political campaigning. But I can tell you this, after the last debate, after all of the comments back and forth, Senator Barack Obama is not going to allow the Republican party to define him. He is going to make it clear what he stands for, what his values are and when you take a look at that rally Friday night in Philadelphia, 35,000 people showed up. That's an amazing turnout, the biggest we've had in our campaign. It's an indication that he's inspiring a lot of people to get involved in politics."

CHUCK SCHUMER
April 20, 2008
New York Senator, Chuck Schumer, argues that the Democratic candidate's handling of the unavoidable Republican attacks is an important quality to factor during this nomination process.
"The key questions here, we know, that the public at this point prefers the Democratic party when it comes to foreign policy when it comes to domestic policy and we know that the Republicans are going to throw at us these diversionary, nasty issues. How you deal with them is an important issue in this campaign, not the most important, but an important issue."

ED RENDELL
April 20, 2008
Pennsylvania Governor, Ed Rendell says it is "despicable" that the Obama Camp held a press conference call during the campaign's train tour.
"While he's on a train trip talking about 'how we don't have distractions and we're not going to be negative and how negative Senator Clinton is', John Dickerson from Slate wrote on that very train trip, in between stops, they did a conference call in which they did that despicable conference in which this fellow suggested that Senator Clinton couldn't lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier because she was mistaken about Bosnia. As low a blow as I've seen."

This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Space station hardware in the foreground includes the Mini-Research Module (MRM1, center) and a Russian Progress vehicle docked to the Pirs Docking Compartment (right). Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then 'stack' them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 47 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA...
