Jim Buckmaster told a Delaware court on Friday that eBay's then-CEO Meg Whitman "slammed the door" on his request in 2007 to find a new owner for Craigslist shares held by eBay, which had just launched a rival U.S. classified ad business. U.S. teens ignore laws against texting while driving LOS ANGELES - Karen Cordova, a 17-year-old high school student and part-time supermarket cashier, admits she sometimes texts friends while driving home from work late at night, lonely and bored.
