NATIONAL TERROR-SUSPECT -- ATLANTA -- A suspected terrorist told a jury Tuesday he talked about jihad but never had an actual plan of violence. Ehsanul Islam Sadequee presented a 14-minute opening statement in his own trial Tuesday morning. He is accused of conspiring with known terrorists -- including one arrested with 40 pounds of explosives -- to launch a violent jihad. Prosecutors say he supplied video of Washington D.C., landmarks to overseas terrorists. 'There was no plan. There was a lot of talk about doing a lot of things,' Sadequee told the jury. 'A lot of just empty talk.' (Matteucci, Atlanta Journal-Constitution) MOUSE-CELLS -- WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Which came first, the mouse or the egg? For once, the age-old riddle is easy to solve. Today, it's the mouse. Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have created healthy adult mice out of mouse skin cells -- no sperm, no egg. Just skin. (Singer, Palm Beach Post) COMMENTARY KELSO-COLUMN -- AUSTIN, Texas -- I've got the cure for the unprovoked 'punch-and-run,' a new tradition on Sixth Street that involves goons in the entertainment district punching out the lights of passers-by just for the heck of it. Austin cops say that this year in the famous cluster of bars they've gotten eight reports of punch-and-runs. That's entertainment? My solution for the punch-and-run is a substitute I call the 'clink-and-duck.'

(Knorr, Atlanta Journal-Constitution) BUSINESS AIRLINES-OIL -- ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines and AirTran Airways are renewing their push for stronger regulations to limit oil speculation. They say such speculation contributes to huge swings in oil prices and financial losses for airlines -- not just when prices go up but also when they plummet and carriers are stuck paying higher prices due to hedging contracts. Travelers and workers are hurt in the process by flight and job cuts, the airlines say. (Yamanouchi, Atlanta Journal-Constitution) TRAVEL NY-SHAKESPEARE -- So, you're planning that theater getaway to New York, maybe for later this summer or next year. You've heard that the Public Theater does Shakespeare in Central Park, and that you can get free tickets by standing in line in the park. No, you think, too much trouble, too much uncertainty. But then you'd never meet Cutie McStaffman. You'd lose a chance to become one of the 'Mulch People.' And you might just miss out on one of the best theater experiences of your life.

(Wear, Austin American-Statesman) ARLINGTON-TRAVEL -- ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' shiny new home squats on its flying buttresses like a spaceship whose occupants plan to take over Texas. And that's pretty much what it is. Owner Jerry Jones and his crew are all set to rake in our bucks when the Cowboys launch their season this fall. (The stadium itself opened in June with a George Strait concert, although work continues on finishing touches.) Getting inside America's Team's new retractable-roofed inner sanctum won't be cheap, but it will be quite an experience, and I'm about to tell you how to grab it with as few hassles and expenses as possible.
