ROMANS: It's about 20 minutes after the hour. "Minding Your Business" this morning. Cyber attack at the IMF. Another cyber attack this time at the International Monetary Fund. The "New York Times" reporting the attack happened several months before IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested over sexual assault charges. The IMF says it is investigating the incident but would not disclose further details. And you could be seeing higher food prices at the supermarket this fall. All the flooding, tornados, and droughts across the country made a hard planting season for America's farmers, this according to the Department of Agriculture. That could mean you'll be paying more at the market. But, gas prices are down. They've dropped nearly 17 cents on average in the past three weeks. And the latest national survey of prices at the pump says the average cost of gas will continue to fall. The current national average for a gallon of regular unleaded just dropped to $3.70, according to AAA. Stock futures are up slightly in premarket trading this morning. The Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P; 500 futures are all set to open higher ahead of the opening bell after six brutal weeks of losses now. And a new record was set in the annual charity auction for lunch with billionaire investor, Warren Buffett, a whopping $2.6 million. You can hear the bells of St. Anselm College behind me this morning. And 37 million, that's how much the movie "Super 8" raked in to the box office this weekend. The J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg dropped "X-Men: First Class" to number two and the "Hangover" sequel to third place. Coming up after the break, here from New Hampshire, how candidates get their game faces on. A veteran of President Bush's debate press team takes up behind the curtain in New Hampshire. Listen to the bells. AMERICAN MORNING back right after the break.
