Major powers clash with U S over UN inspections stance
In the UN Security Council, major powers rebuffed the United States and pressed for more time for weapons inspections after chief inspectors Blix and ElBaradei raised questions about U S intelligence. France led with a demand for more time though Britain and Spain supported Washington's aim while Russia and China urged continued inspections and wary of war. Powell warned against “tricks” as France’s Villepin drew applause and the council anticipated a possible March 14 ministerial meeting. Saddam banned WMDs ahead of the report, while Blix noted improved cooperation yet continued gaps in disarmament.

Fuel Costs Shift for South Carolina School Bus Fleet
Donald Tudor of the South Carolina Office of Transportation says the school bus system budgets for fuel at 98 cents a gallon, relying on cost cutting and delayed equipment purchases. Despite a spike to $1.01 per gallon in the first week, Tudor notes July saw 78 cents and projects an average of about 91 to 92 cents if trends hold, keeping them under budget unless an unbudgeted spike appears. He emphasizes tax exemptions on federal and part of state fuel taxes for school transportation and that the legislature would be alerted if needed.
