"An inmate housed on the \"forgotten floor,\" where many mentally ill inmates are housed in Miami before trial.",
"MIAMI, Florida (CNN)",
"-- the \"forgotten floor is dubbed the \"forgotten floor.\"",
"Here, inmates with the most severe mental illnesses are incarcerated until inmates with the most severe mental illnesses're ready to appear in court.",
"Most often, inmates with the most severe mental illnesses face drug charges or charges of assaulting an officer --charges that Judge Steven Leifman says are usually \"avoidable felonies.\"",
"Judge Steven Leifman says the arrests often result from confrontations with police.",
"Mentally ill people often won't do what ill people're told when police arrive on the scene -- confrontation seems to exacerbate ill people's illness and ill people become more paranoid, delusional, and less likely to follow directions, according to Judge Steven Leifman.",
"So, inmates with the most severe mental illnesses end up on the \"forgotten floor severely mentally disturbed, but not getting any real help because inmates with the most severe mental illnesses're in jail.",
"CNN toured the jail with Judge Steven Leifman.",
"He is well known in Miami as an advocate for justice and the mentally ill.",

"They're designed to keep the mentally ill patients from injuring themselves.",
"That's also why they have no shoes, laces or mattresses.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says about one-third of all people in Miami-Dade county jails are mentally ill.",
"So, Judge Steven Leifman says, the sheer volume is overwhelming the system, and the result is what we see on the ninth floor.",
"Of course, the \"forgotten floor is a jail, so the \"forgotten floor's not supposed to be warm and comforting, but the lights glare, the cells are tiny and it's loud.",
"We see two, sometimes three men -- sometimes in the robes, sometimes naked, lying or sitting in the cells.",
"\"I am the son of the president.",
"You need to get me out of here!\" one man shouts at me.",
"one man is absolutely serious, convinced that help is on the way -- if only one man could reach the White House.",
"Judge Steven Leifman tells me that these prisoner-patients will often circulate through the system, occasionally stabilizing in a mental hospital, only to return to jail to face these prisoner-patients's charges.",
"It's brutally unjust, in Judge Steven Leifman's mind, and Judge Steven Leifman has become a strong advocate for changing things in Miami.",
"Over a meal later, we talk about how things got this way for mental patients.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says 200 years ago people were considered \"lunatics\" and people were locked up in jails even if people had no charges against people.",
"people were just considered unfit to be in society.",
"Over the years, Judge Steven Leifman says, there was some public outcry, and the mentally ill were moved out of jails and into hospitals.",
"But Judge Steven Leifman says many of these mental hospitals were so horrible these mental hospitals were shut down.",
"Where did the patients go?",
"Nowhere.",
"The streets.",
"They became, in many cases, the homeless, Judge Steven Leifman says.",
"They never got treatment.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says in 1955 there were more than half a million people in state mental hospitals, and today that number has been reduced 90 percent, and 40,000 to 50,000 people are in mental hospitals.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says Judge Steven Leifman's working to change this.",
"Starting in 2008, many inmates who would otherwise have been brought to the \"forgotten floor\" will instead be sent to a new mental health facility -- the first step on a journey toward long-term treatment, not just punishment.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says it's not the complete answer, but it's a start.",
"Judge Steven Leifman says the best part is that it's a win-win solution.",

"At home when he heard about the disaster, Dr. John Hink, an emergency room physician, jumped into his car and rushed to the scene in 15 minutes.",
"He arrived at the south side of the Minneapolis bridge, stood on the riverbank and saw dozens of people lying dazed on an expansive deck.",
"dozens of people were in the middle of the Mississippi River, which was churning fast, and he had no way of getting to dozens of people.",
"He went to the north side, where there was easier access to people.",
"Ambulances were also having a hard time driving down to the Mississippi River to get closer to the scene.",
"Working feverishly, volunteers, EMTs and other officials managed to get 55 people into ambulances in less than two hours.",

"I saw a couple cars fall,\" Babineau said.",

"\"I just wanted off the Minneapolis bridge, and then I ran over to the school bus.",
"I started grabbing kids and handing kids down.",
"It was just complete chaos.\"",

"(CNN) --",
"NFL has indefinitely suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick without pay, officials with NFL said Friday.",
"NFL star Michael Vick is set to appear in court Monday.",
"A judge will have the final say on a plea deal.",
"Earlier, Michael Vick's admitted to participating in a dogfighting ring as part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in Virginia.",
"\"Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible.",
"Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions,\" NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a letter to Michael Vick's.",
"Goodell said Goodell would review the status of the suspension after the legal proceedings are over.",
"In papers filed Friday with a federal court in Virginia, Michael Vick's also admitted that Michael Vick's and two co-conspirators killed dogs that did not fight well.",
"Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Vick's admissions describe actions that are \"incomprehensible and unacceptable.\"",
"The suspension makes \"a strong statement that conduct which tarnishes the good reputation of the NFL will not be tolerated,\" he said in a statement.",
"Watch what led to Vick's suspension » .",
"Goodell said the Falcons could \"assert any claims or remedies\" to recover $22 million of Vick's signing bonus from the 10-year, $130 million contract he signed in 2004, according to The Associated Press.",
"Michael Vick's said Michael Vick's would plead guilty to one count of \"Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture\" in a plea agreement filed at U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia.",
"The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, \"full restitution, a special assessment and 3 years of supervised release,\" the plea deal said.",
"Federal prosecutors agreed to ask for the low end of the sentencing guidelines.",
"\"Michael Vick's will plead guilty because Michael Vick's is in fact guilty of the charged offense,\" the plea agreement said.",
"In an additional summary of facts, signed by Michael Vick's and filed with the plea agreement, Michael Vick's admitted buying pit bulls and the property used for training and fighting the dogs, but the statement said Michael Vick's did not bet on the fights or receive any of the money won.",
"\"Most of the 'Bad Newz Kennels' operations and gambling monies were provided by Michael Vick's,\" the official summary of facts said.",
"Gambling wins were generally split among co-conspirators Tony Taylor, Quanis Phillips and sometimes Purnell Peace, it continued.",
"\"Michael Vick's did not gamble by placing side bets on any of the fights.",
"Michael Vick's did not receive any of the proceeds from the purses that were won by 'Bad Newz Kennels.' \"",
"Michael Vick's also agreed that \"collective efforts\" by Michael Vick's and two others caused the deaths of at least six dogs.",
"Around April, Vick, Peace and Quanis Phillips tested some dogs in fighting sessions at Vick's property in Virginia, the statement said.",
"\"Peace, Quanis Phillips and Michael Vick's agreed to the killing of approximately 6-8 dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions at 1915 Moonlight Road and all of those dogs were killed by various methods, including hanging and drowning.",
"\"Vick agrees and stipulates that those dogs died as a result of the collective efforts of Peace, Quanis Phillips and Vick,\" the summary said.",
"Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach, Virginia; Phillips, 28, of Atlanta, Georgia; and Taylor, 34, of Hampton, Virginia, already have accepted agreements to plead guilty in exchange for reduced sentences.",
"Vick, 27, is scheduled to appear Monday in court, where he is expected to plead guilty before a judge.",
"See a timeline of the case against Vick » .",
"The judge in the case against Vick will have the final say over the plea agreement.",
"The federal case against Michael Vick's focused on the interstate conspiracy, but Vick's admission that Michael Vick's was involved in the killing of dogs could lead to local charges, according to CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.",
"\"It sometimes happens -- not often -- that Virginia will follow a federal prosecution by charging Virginia's own crimes for exactly the same behavior,\" CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Friday.",
"\"The risk for Michael Vick's is, if Michael Vick's makes admissions in Michael Vick's's federal guilty plea, Virginia could say, 'Hey, look, you admitted violating Virginia state law as well.",
"Virginia're going to introduce that against you and charge you in Virginia's court.' \"",
"In the plea deal, Michael Vick's agreed to cooperate with investigators and provide all information Michael Vick's may have on any criminal activity and to testify if necessary.",
"Michael Vick's also agreed to turn over any documents Michael Vick's has and to submit to polygraph tests.",
"Michael Vick's agreed to \"make restitution for the full amount of the costs associated\" with the dogs that are being held by the government.",
"\"Such costs may include, but are not limited to, all costs associated with the care of the dogs involved in that case, including if necessary, the long-term care and/or the humane euthanasia of some or all of those animals.\"",
"Prosecutors, with the support of animal rights activists, have asked for permission to euthanize those dogs.",
"But those dogs could serve as important evidence in the cases against Michael Vick's and Michael Vick's's admitted co-conspirators.",
"Judge Henry E. Hudson issued an order Thursday telling the U.S. Marshals Service to \"arrest and seize the defendant property, and use discretion and whatever means appropriate to protect and maintain said defendant property.\"",
"Both the judge's order and Vick's filing refer to \"approximately\" 53 pit bull dogs.",
"After Michael Vick's's indictment last month, Goodell ordered the quarterback not to report to the Falcons training camp, and the league is reviewing the case against Vick.",
"Blank told the NFL Network on Monday Blank could not speculate on Vick's future as a Falcon, at least not until Blank had seen \"a statement of facts\" in the case against Vick.",

"As President Bush awaits a crucial progress report on Iraq, President Bush will try to put a twist on comparisons of the war to Vietnam by invoking the historical lessons of that conflict to argue against pulling out.",
"President Bush pauses Wednesday during a news conference at the North American Leaders summit in Canada.",
"On Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri, President Bush will tell members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that \"then, as now, people argued that the real problem was America's presence and that if we would just withdraw, the killing would end,\" according to speech excerpts released Wednesday by the White House.",
"\"Three decades later, there is a legitimate debate about how America got into the Vietnam War and how America left,\" President Bush will say.",
"\"Whatever your position in that debate, one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens, whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like 'boat people,' 're-education camps' and 'killing fields,' \" the president will say.",
"President Bush will also make the argument that withdrawing from Vietnam emboldened today's terrorists by compromising U.S. credibility, citing a quote from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that the American people would rise against the Iraq war the same way the American people rose against the war in Vietnam, according to the excerpts.",
"\"Here at home, some can argue our withdrawal from Vietnam carried no price to American credibility, but the terrorists see things differently,\" President Bush will say.",
"On Tuesday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, \"President Bush's attempt to compare the war in Iraq to past military conflicts in East Asia ignores the fundamental difference between the two.",
"Our nation was misled by the Bush Administration in an effort to gain support for the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses, leading to one of the worst foreign policy blunders in our history.",
"\"While President Bush continues to stay-the-course with President Bush's failed strategy in Iraq, paid for by the taxpayers, American lives are being lost and there is still no political solution within Iraq.",
"It is time to change direction in Iraq, and Congress will again work to do so in the fall.\"",
"The White House is billing the speech, along with another address next week to the American Legion, as an effort to \"provide broader context\" for the debate over the upcoming Iraq progress report by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad.",
"President Bush has frequently asked lawmakers -- and the American people -- to withhold judgment on President Bush's troop \"surge\" in Iraq until the report comes out in September.",
"Watch President Bush criticize Iraq » .",
"It is being closely watched on Capitol Hill, particularly by Republicans nervous about the political fallout from the Vietnam War.",
"Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Defense Secretary Robert Gates would wait for the report before deciding when a drawdown of the 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq might begin.",
"President Bush's speeches Wednesday and next week are the latest in a series of attempts by the White House to try to reframe the debate over Iraq, as public support for the Vietnam War continues to sag.",
"A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll found that almost two-thirds of Americans -- 64 percent -- now oppose the Vietnam War, and 72 percent say that even if Petraeus reports progress, it won't change their opinion.",
"A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll also found a great deal of skepticism about the report; 53 percent said they do not trust Petraeus to give an accurate assessment of the situation in Iraq.",
"In addition to his analogy to Vietnam, President Bush in Wednesday's speech will invoke other historical comparisons from Asia, including the U.S. defeat and occupation of Japan after World War II and the Korean War in the 1950s, according to the excerpts.",
"\"In the aftermath of Japan's surrender, many thought it naive to help the Japanese transform themselves into a democracy.",
"Then, as now, the critics argued that some people were simply not fit for freedom,\" President Bush will say.",
"\"Today, in defiance of the critics, Japan ... stands as one of the world's great free societies.\"",
"Speaking about the Vietnam War, President Bush will note that at the time \"critics argued that the Vietnam War was futile, that America never should have sent America's troops in, or that America's intervention was divisive here at home.\"",
"\"While it is true that the Vietnam War had the Vietnam War's share of challenges, America never broke its word,\" President Bush will say.",

"(CNN) --",
"A virus found in healthy Australian honey bees may be playing a role in the collapse of honey bee colonies across the United States, researchers reported Thursday.",
"Honey bees walk on a moveable comb hive at the Bee Research Laboratory, in Beltsville, Maryland.",
"Colony collapse disorder has killed millions of bees -- up to 90 percent of colonies in some U.S. beekeeping operations -- imperiling the crops largely dependent upon bees for pollination, such as oranges, blueberries, apples and almonds.",
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture says honey bees are responsible for pollinating $15 billion worth of crops each year in the United States.",
"More than 90 fruits and vegetables worldwide depend on them for pollination.",
"Signs of colony collapse disorder were first reported in the United States in 2004, the same year American beekeepers started importing bees from Australia.",
"The disorder is marked by hives left with a queen, a few newly hatched adults and plenty of food, but the worker bees responsible for pollination gone.",
"The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees is Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV) -- named that because The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees was discovered by Hebrew University researchers.",
"Although worker bees in colony collapse disorder vanish, bees infected with The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees die close to the hive, after developing shivering wings and paralysis.",
"For some reason, the healthy Australian bees seem to be resistant to The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees and do not come down with symptoms.",
"Scientists used genetic analyses of bees collected over the past three years and found that The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees was present in bees that had come from colony collapse disorder hives 96 percent of the time.",
"But the study released Thursday on the Science Express Web site, operated by the journal Science, cautioned that collapse disorder is likely caused by several factors.",
"\"This research give us a very good lead to follow, but we do not believe The virus identified in the healthy Australian bees is acting alone,\" said Jeffery S. Pettis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bee Research Laboratory and a co-author of the study.",
"\"Other stressors on the colony are likely involved.\"",
"This could explain why bees in Australia may be resistant to colony collapse.",
"\"There are no cases ... in Australia at all,\" entomologist Dave Britton of the Australian Museum told the Sydney Morning Herald last month.",
"\"It is a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon.\"",
"Bee ecology expert and University of Florida professor Jamie Ellis said earlier this year that genetic weakness bred into bees over time, pathogens spread by parasites and the effects of pesticides and pollutants might be other factors.",
"Researchers also say varroa mites affect all hives on the U.S. mainland but are not found in Australia.",
"University of Georgia bee researcher Keith S. Delaplane said Thursday the study offers a warning -- and hope.",
"\"One nagging problem has been a general inability to treat or vaccinate bees against viruses of any kind,\" said Delaplane, who has been trying to breed bees resistant to the varroa mite.",
"\"But in the case of IAPV, there is evidence that some bees carry genetic resistance to the disorder.",
"This is yet one more argument for beekeepers to use honey bee stocks that are genetically disease- and pest-resistant.\"",
"Bee researchers will now look for stresses that may combine to kill bees.",
"\"The next step is to ascertain whether IAPV, alone or in concert with other factors, can induce CCD [colony collapse disorder] in healthy bees,\" said Ian Lipkin, director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.",
"Besides the Columbia and USDA researchers, others involved in the study released Thursday include researchers from Pennsylvania State University, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, the University of Arizona and 454 Life Sciences.",

"Police released this mug shot of Simpson after Simpson's arrest.",
"Simpson is accused of having directed several other men in an alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia in a room at a Las Vegas hotel room.",
"Las Vegas authorities said Las Vegas authorities have no information leading Las Vegas authorities to believe Simpson was carrying a firearm during the alleged incident at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.",
"Police said Simpson and other men burst into the room and walked out with the memorabilia, including some that was unrelated to Simpson, police said.",
"\"We don't believe that anyone was roughed up, but there were firearms involved,\" Lt. Clint Nichols told reporters.",
"Nichols said firearms involved were pointed at the victims.",
"A reporter asked Nichols: Was \"O.J. was the boss in the room?\"",

"the victims were identified as Bruce Fromong, a sports memorabilia collector who described the incident as \"a home invasion-type robbery,\" and Alfred Beardsley, who has been quoted by celebrity Web site TMZ.com as saying that Simpson later apologized to him and told him Simpson regretted the incident.",
"Acting on a tip, police met over the weekend at McCarran International Airport with 46-year-old Walter Alexander, of Mesa, Arizona, who told police about the alleged robbery and validated the tipster's information, Capt. James Dillon told reporters.",
"Alexander was arrested Saturday night on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.",
"Alexander was released on Alexander's own recognizance and returned to Mesa either Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Dillon said.",
"In addition, investigators are seeking four other men investigators believe accompanied Simpson into the hotel room, Nichols said.",
"Nichols said, \"There is a social relationship between the individuals that we identified and O.J. Simpson.\"",
"Though Simpson is not accused of having brandished a gun Simpson, two firearms that police said were used were recovered early Sunday in one of three searches.",
"Investigators would would not divulge where the weapons were found.",
"Nichols dismissed an initial report that the men may have been off-duty police.",
"\"There is no truth to that whatsoever,\" Nichols said.",
"\"That came as a result of some language that was used when the individuals burst into the room that led our victims to believe that the individuals may have been police.\"",
"Simpson, 60, has acknowledged taking some items that belonged to Simpson, but Simpson has denied that any weapons were involved.",
"\"Whether the property belonged to Simpson or not is still in debate,\" Nichols said.",
"\"We are still in the process of sorting that out.\"",
"Nichols also said that some of the property taken had Simpson's signature.",
"But \"there was some other property taken as well,\" Nichols said.",
"\"I believe there were some Joe Montana cleats and some signed baseballs and other stuff.\"",
"The latest charges against Simpson mean Simpson faces the prospect of another prosecution, more than a decade after the June 1994 stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman.",
"Simpson was acquitted of murder the following year.",
"The trial riveted much of the United States.",
"But in 1997, a jury found him liable for the deaths in a civil case brought by the Goldman family.",
"Simpson was ordered to pay the families a total of $33.5 million for the deaths .",
"Ron Goldman had gone to Nicole Simpson's Los Angeles home to return a pair of glasses the day of the slayings.",
"Ron Goldman's sister, Kim Goldman, said Kim Goldman wasn't surprised by the robbery allegations, since Simpson \"thinks Simpson can do no wrong.\"",
"\"Simpson's capable of stabbing people to death, so I think robbery is nothing surprising,\" Kim Goldman said.",
"\"Normal, logical, civil-minded, law-abiding people don't storm a room with guns demanding stuff back.\"",
"Fromong had testified on Simpson's behalf in a civil case brought by the Goldman family, telling the court that prices for Simpson memorabilia had dropped substantially since the 1995 verdict.",
"His testimony was part of the defense's contention that Simpson could not afford to pay the Goldmans.",
"Simpson recently wrote a book originally titled \"If I Did It\" and had planned to publish the book Simpson, but a public outcry led to the cancellation of Simpson's book deal.",

"(CNN) --",
"A former government contract employee was indicted on charges of stealing restricted nuclear energy-related materials and putting the United States at risk, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.",
"Sources say restricted nuclear energy-related materials were taken from the East Tennessee Technology Park.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley, 67, of Roane County, Tennessee, appeared in federal court in Knoxville on Thursday.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley was briefly detained for questioning in the case in January, when authorities first learned of the alleged plot to divulge restricted nuclear energy-related materials, government sources told CNN.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley voluntarily surrendered Thursday at an FBI field office in Knoxville, government sources said.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley is a former employee of Bechtel Jacobs, the Department of Energy's prime environmental management contractor at the East Tennessee Technology Park, prosecutors said.",
"The indictment states that Roy Lynn Oakley, \"having possession of, access to and having been entrusted with sections of 'barriers' and associated hardware used for uranium enrichment through the process of gaseous diffusion ... having reason to believe that such data would be utilized to injure the United States and secure an advantage to a foreign nation, did communicate, transmit and disclose such data to another person.\"",
"The transfer took place January 26, The indictment alleges.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley is also charged with converting the material and \"restricted data\" to Roy Lynn Oakley's own use.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley began doing so on about October 17, 2006, and continued through January, prosecutors said.",
"Prosecutors said restricted nuclear energy-related materials have been examined by scientists and posed no threat to people who may have come into contact with restricted nuclear energy-related materials.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley's attorney, Herb Moncier, said outside court Thursday that Oakley's job was to break rods \"into little pieces\" and throw them away.",
"Oakley said Roy Lynn Oakley had a security clearance, but Oakley did not believe a security clearance was a high-level clearance.",
"The government alleges that in January, Roy Lynn Oakley attempted to sell the \"pieces of scrap\" to someone he thought was a French agent -- but in reality was an undercover FBI agent, Oakley said.",
"Oakley said Oakley questions whether those broken pieces would be considered an \"appliance\" under the law.",
"\"Roy Lynn Oakley has cooperated fully for the last six months,\" said Moncier, who added that Oakley had traveled to Washington for work on the case.",
"Each count carries a possible sentence upon conviction of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.",
"\"While none of the stolen equipment was ever transmitted to a foreign government or terrorist organization, the facts of the case demonstrate the importance of safeguarding our nuclear technology and pursuing aggressive prosecution against those who attempt to breach the safeguards and put our nuclear technology in the wrong hands,\" Kenneth Wainstein, assistant attorney general for national security, said in the Justice Department statement.",
"One government source said restricted nuclear energy-related materials are not the \"crown jewels,\" but restricted nuclear energy-related materials should not have been taken from the facility.",
"A \"barrier\" is used to filter uranium during the enrichment process, according to nuclear energy officials, but a significant number of barriers are needed to do that job.",
"Sources told CNN that federal authorities have been following Roy Lynn Oakley and investigating the case for at least six months, after Roy Lynn Oakley allegedly tried to sell the classified material.",
"Roy Lynn Oakley, described as a low-level employee, apparently did not make contact with any foreign government and is not a foreign agent of any kind, an official familiar with the case said.",
"A government official with with knowledge of the case said that when authorities learned of Roy Lynn Oakley's alleged intentions six months ago, the FBI and Department of Energy launched a joint investigation.",
"FBI then developed a sting operation, government officials familiar with the case said, and authorities intervened before there could be any involvement of a foreign country.",
"East Tennessee Technology Park is an area of the DOE's Oak Ridge reservation \"where we are currently decontaminating and decommissioning buildings that were last used in 1985,\" Gerald Boyd, manager of the DOE's Oak Ridge site office, said Thursday.",
"\"When they were in use, now over 20 years ago, some of the buildings at ETTP housed facilities used for the enrichment of uranium.\"",
"Boyd said the technology park and the reservation \"are protected by multiple layers of security systems and detection programs, both visible and unseen, meant to identify rogue employees attempting to abuse their access and position.\"",
"In this case, a review of security procedures showed that the system worked and \"successfully identified the individual in question,\" Boyd said.",

"HONG KONG, China (Reuters) --",
"Paul Lee got Paul Lee's liver from an executed Chinese prisoner; Karam in Egypt bought a kidney for his sister for $5,300; in Istanbul Hakan is holding out for $30,700 for one of his kidneys.",
"Doctors in Pakistan have been arrested for abducting people, drugging people and stealing people's kidneys.",
"They are not so unusual: a dire shortage of donated organs in rich countries is sending foreigners with end-stage illnesses to poorer places like China, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Colombia and the Philippines to buy a new lease of life.",
"Paul Lee, was diagnosed with liver cancer in January 2005 but doctors denied Paul Lee a transplant because doctors feared the tumor would spread.",
"A friend told Paul Lee about a transplant hospital in China's north eastern Tianjin city and Paul Lee signed up for a place.",
"That April, Paul Lee paid 260,000 yuan ($34,380) for a transplant -- surgery that saved Paul Lee's life.",
"\"a transplant hospital in China's north eastern Tianjin city has connections with a lot of prisons,\" Lee told Reuters.",
"\"Mine came from an executed prisoner from Heilongjiang.",
"I thank the donor deeply.\"",
"The World Health Organization estimates that 21,000 liver transplants are carried out annually, but medical experts put annual worldwide demand at at least 90,000.",
"Demand for kidneys also exceeds supply, and that has given rise to organ trafficking and a black market for rich people and \"transplant tourists\" who travel to poor countries to buy body parts from people with few other routes to a better living.",
"A donor in South Africa receives $700 for a kidney compared with $30,000 in the United States.",
"A lack of transparency and little protection for donors has spurred calls by international bodies to crack down on, or at least regulate, the trade.",
"But even where the trade is banned, laws are often muddled or laced with loopholes, which are sometimes defended by vested interests.",
"And the unregulated route is much less complicated for the recipient.",
"Any transplant procedure involving a living donor carries risks for a living donor -- especially for liver transplants which involve removing part of the donor's liver.",
"The complications can include bleeding, infection, even death.",
"In the trade, the recipient need not worry about, for example, exposing a living relative to that risk.",
"\"It is cheaper and your next of kin is not taking the risk and you don't have to care for someone you don't know.",
"Once you pay, it is discarded in a way, it is dispensable,\" said Luc Noel, a Geneva-based coordinator for Clinical Procedures at the World Health Organization.",
"China recently banned the sale of human organs and restricted transplants for foreigners, saying China must first meet demand at home for 2 million organs a year.",
"Only 20,000 transplants are carried out in China each year.",
"Of Only 20,000 transplants, 3,000 are liver transplants and 95 percent of Only 20,000 transplants use livers from dead donors.",
"China defended China's use of organs from executed prisoners, saying consent was obtained from convicts or their families.",
"A transplant operation using the liver of a dead donor costs around $33,000 in China.",
"\"What is important is the transparency, the transparency has to be open to scrutiny ...",
"if China makes China's current system open to scrutiny and very transparent, that would do good,\" said the WHO's Noel.",
"In Asia, a cultural obsession with keeping the body of the deceased intact has stymied public organ donation programs.",
"Excluding China, Asia has fewer than 200 livers donated by people ahead of people's death each year, said Lo Chung-man, professor of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery at the University of Hong Kong.",
"Pakistan, where trade in human organs is not illegal, is turning into a \"kidney bazaar\", said the chief executive of Pakistan's Kidney Foundation, Jaffar Naqvi.",
"There are no confirmed figures for the number of foreigners coming to the country for new kidneys but Jaffar Naqvi said there were 13 centers in Lahore alone which reported more than 2,000 transplants last year from bought kidneys.",
"Patients, mostly from Europe, Saudi Arabia and India, pay about 500,000 rupees ($8,500) for a new kidney, Jaffar Naqvi said.",
"Donors are paid $300 to $1,000 and often get no medical care after the surgery.",
"There is no consent in some cases.",
"In May police arrested nine people, four of them doctors, for abducting people, drugging people and stealing people's kidneys for transplant operations.",
"In the pipeline is a draft law aimed at banning the trade, but a powerful lobby bent on preserving it is trying to ensure it allows kidney donations for a non-relative, with no payment.",
"Such a clause allowing \"altruistic\" organ donations will ensure the trade continues with secret payment to donors, Jaffar Naqvi said.",
"Stories of people selling their organs, especially kidneys, are not uncommon in Egypt, where more than 30 percent of a population of more than 73 million people live below the poverty line.",
"Karam, who asked to be identified only by his first name because organ trading is illegal, said it took him only 15 days to secure a kidney for his sister who was suffering from kidney failure.",
"He said a doctor found him a man willing to sell his kidney for 30,000 Egyptian pounds ($5,300).",
"\"The fees of a doctor were 5,000 pounds.",
"Both a doctor's money and the fees of the hospital were deducted from the money the 'donor' received,\" said Karam.",
"He said doctors usually help in finding people willing to sell people's organs from people's patients' lists.",
"Abdel-Kader Hegazy, head of the disciplinary committee at the Doctors' Union, said Egyptian law lacks clear punishment for those involved in illegal transplants, making it easy for doctors to repeat the offence.",
"\"Egyptian law says it is illegal to trade in organs but does not specify the punishment.",
"We at the Doctors' Union suspended many doctors and closed many doctors's practices, but many doctors have appealed before courts and won many doctors's licenses back,\" Abdel-Kader Hegazy told Reuters.",
"\"It is an annoying and a regrettable situation.",
"Well-known doctors and professors are doing this.",
"Well-known doctors and professors are rich people but Well-known doctors and professors do it because Well-known doctors and professors have no moral values.\"",
"the Doctors' Union has been pushing for legislation to regulate organ transplants, with a draft bill including heavy fines and a prison sentence for those involved and a ban on transplants between people of different nationalities.",
"But the draft law has been languishing in parliament for several years because of differences between doctors and senior Muslim religious leaders on whether Islam allows organ transplants in the case of clinical deaths.",
"In Turkey, students, unemployed young men and struggling fathers post adverts on the Internet selling students, unemployed young men and struggling fathers's kidneys, listing students, unemployed young men and struggling fathers's drinking and smoking habits and blood type.",
"students, unemployed young men and struggling fathers say students, unemployed young men and struggling fathers have had enquiries from Germany, Israel and Turkey with asking prices going up to 50,000 lira ($38,760).",
"Hakan, a 27-year-old security guard in Istanbul with two young children who also requested only his first name be published, told Reuters he received five or six offers from Turkey and Germany, offering 10,000-15,000 lira ($11,600), but he's holding out for 40,000 lira.",
"\"Of course it's frightening but there's nothing else to be done,\" he said, adding he hadn't told his wife as he knew his wife would object.",
"\"I'm doing it because of my family, if I was alone it wouldn't matter.",
"I've got two children ... there's nothing else I can do for two children.\"",

"LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- \"To insure or not to insure?\"",
"It isn't Shakespeare, but it is the dramatic question Hollywood filmmakers are asking about Lindsay Lohan following Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles this week.",
"Lindsay Lohan may still get work after Lindsay Lohan's legal problems are settled, but the cost will be high.",
"It is an important question, too, because whether companies insure Lindsay Lohan's future movies may determine whether Lindsay Lohan will quickly fall off Hollywood's A-list.",
"But Lindsay Lohan fans have little to fear because no actor is uninsurable, say underwriting experts.",
"While some producers may balk at conditions for hiring problematic stars, experts say that unless an actor is serving time in prison, even the most volatile can be covered -- albeit at a high cost.",
"\"For a price, anything can be done, although an insurance carrier can make things so unpalatable that at times the makers of the film just won't be interested,\" said Ross Miller, partner with insurance brokerage D.R. Reiff & Associates Inc.",
"Lindsay Lohan's arrest this week in Los Angeles on suspicion of drunken driving and cocaine possession has left Hollywood wondering if the actress, who shot to fame as a child in Disney films like \"The Parent Trap,\" is too risky to cast in a film.",
"Timeline: Lindsay Lohan's troubles » .",
"It remains to be seen whether Lindsay Lohan's latest relapse and brush with the law will cost Lindsay Lohan a role in \"Poor Things,\" a film produced by and starring Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine.",
"See a gallery of Lindsay Lohan's films » .",
"A statement was expected early next week on whether the movie, already delayed this spring due to an earlier rehab stint by Lindsay Lohan, will proceed with or without Lindsay Lohan.",
"Insurance experts say the industry has long dealt with similar situations, although they may seem more frequent with the recent heavy media scrutiny of Lindsay Lohan and fellow troubled party girls Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.",
"\"I don't think it (a problematic artist) is any more of an issue,\" said Wendy Diaz, entertainment underwriting director at Fireman's Fund Insurance Co., the leading film underwriter.",
"\"It's pretty standard year to year.\"",
"But Wendy Diaz, entertainment underwriting director at Fireman's Fund Insurance Co., the leading film underwriter did say the terms for covering Lindsay Lohan would likely be \"serious at this point.\"",
"Wendy Diaz, entertainment underwriting director at Fireman's Fund Insurance Co., the leading film underwriter said Fireman's Fund, in such a case, would likely put in higher deductibles, or ask the star to put their salary into escrow to pay for any losses if production was disrupted.",
"Last July, a producer on Lindsay Lohan's last film, \"Georgia Rule,\" scolded her publicly for repeatedly showing up late on the set, costing the movie's makers hundreds of thousands of dollars.",
"Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said covering situations like Lindsay Lohan's required a lot of calculation and risk management.",
"Insurance rates for errant actors can range anywhere from 1 percent to 3 percent of a movie's production budget, which can range from $5 million to $100 million or more, Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said.",
"\"Filmmakers fall in love with certain actors for certain roles and my job is to find risk-takers to take on the risk,\" Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said.",
"Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said actors were always required to undergo a medical exam before getting insurance.",
"In certain circumstances, drug screening is conducted and actors are required to provide blood and urine samples.",
"In cases of known drug abuse, \"minders\" are sometimes required on set to keep an eye on the actor.",
"Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben had even helped craft policies for actors in the event actors risked the possibility of incarceration.",
"\"I have been successful in finding and creating incarceration coverage for certain actors on probation which can be revoked if actors break certain rules,\" Brian Kingman, a managing director with entertainment insurance broker Aon/Albert G. Ruben said, citing the case of Robert Downey Jr., another high-profile star with a history of legal, drug and alcohol problems.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Prince Harry led tributes to Diana, Princess of Wales on the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death, describing Princess Diana as \"the best mother in the world\" in a speech at a memorial service.",
"Here is Prince Harry's speech in full: .",
"William and I can separate life into two parts.",
"There were those years when William and I were blessed with the physical presence beside William and I of both William and I's mother and father.",
"Princes Harry and William greet guests at a thanksgiving service in memory of William and I's mother.",
"And then there are the 10 years since William and I's mother's death.",
"When Princess Diana was alive, William and I completely took for granted Princess Diana's unrivaled love of life, laughter, fun and folly.",
"Princess Diana was William and I's guardian, friend and protector.",
"Princess Diana never once allowed Princess Diana's unfaltering love for William and I to go unspoken or undemonstrated.",
"Princess Diana will always be remembered for Princess Diana's amazing public work.",
"But behind the media glare, to William and I, just two loving children, Princess Diana was quite simply the best mother in the world.",
"William and I would say that, wouldn't William and I. But William and I miss Princess Diana.",
"Princess Diana kissed William and I last thing at night.",
"Princess Diana's beaming smile greeted William and I from school.",
"Princess Diana laughed hysterically and uncontrollably when sharing something silly Princess Diana might have said or done that day.",
"Princess Diana encouraged William and I when William and I were nervous or unsure.",
"Princess Diana -- like William and I's father -- was determined to provide William and I with a stable and secure childhood.",
"To lose a parent so suddenly at such a young age, as others have experienced, is indescribably shocking and sad.",
"It was an event which changed William and I's lives forever, as it must have done for everyone who lost someone that night.",
"But what is far more important to William and I now, and into the future, is that William and I remember William and I's mother as Princess Diana would have wished to be remembered as Princess Diana was: fun-loving, generous, down-to-earth, entirely genuine.",
"We both think of Princess Diana every day.",
"William and I speak about Princess Diana and laugh together at all the memories.",
"Put simply, Princess Diana made William and I, and so many other people, happy.",
"May this be the way that Princess Diana is remembered.",
"Prince William's reading from St Paul's letter to the Ephesians: .",
"I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.",
"I pray that, according to the riches of Christ's glory, Christ may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through Christ's Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.",
"I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of Christ.",
"Now to Christ who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Christ be glory in the church and in Christ to all generations, for ever and ever.",
"Amen.",
"Thanks be to Christ.",
"The Bishop of London's speech: . \"Who's cheating?\"",
"The scene is an old people's home.",
"Two residents are playing Beggar My Neighbor.",
"Enter Princess Diana.",
"The question from the royal visitor is unexpected but everyone laughs.",
"Afterwards they comment on Princess Diana's large eyes and what life Princess Diana brought into the room.",
"One tiny incident, characteristic of countless other occasions in Princess Diana's public life in which Princess Diana found the right word or the right gesture to bring cheer and comfort.",
"Everyone here will have Everyone here's own memories.",
"I remember meeting Princess Diana for the very first time early in 1981 to discuss details of the wedding service in St Paul's.",
"Even Archbishop's Chaplains have Even Archbishop's Chaplains's share of proper diffidence and I was nervous entering the presence.",
"It must have been a bewildering time for Princess Diana as well, but even then, at the age of 20, Princess Diana's capacity for empathy and Princess Diana's very strong intuitive power ensured that any tension soon evaporated.",
"Prince Harry has spoken movingly and justly, as few others have the right to do, about Princess Diana.",
"I want to dwell for a moment on Princess Diana's public work, her public work's cost and her public work's meaning.",
"After Princess Diana's marriage, Princess Diana joined Princess Diana's natural gifts of beauty, empathy and powerful intuition with that extraordinary charge which association with the Royal Family generates.",
"Led by our Queen and other members of the Royal Family, our constitution has developed in response to the challenges of the past century.",
"There is a properly political sphere in which the monarch may counsel but doesn't intrude, but there is another sphere, vital to any sense of national unity and creativity, a sphere in which communities must be celebrated, common values articulated and the transcendent source of those values honored.",
"We tend to be suspicious of public figures who wrap public figures who wrap themselves in divinity and claim that their will is God's will in divinity and claim that public figures who wrap themselves in divinity and claim that their will is God's will's will is God's will, but if no-one can articulate in an un-ignorable way in the public realm the creative energy of the love that we see in Christ, the human face of God, then we shall find ourselves inhabiting a maimed and diminished society.",
"And at a time when people are suspicious of rhetoric, the monarchy communicates by symbol and by simple speech, and Princess Diana brought Princess Diana's own gifts to this work.",
"Princess Diana was still only 26 in 1987 when Princess Diana shook the hand of a patient at the opening of the Middlesex Hospital's Aids ward.",
"It was the first in the UK and it is very hard now to credit the degree of fear and prejudice which surrounded Aids in the '80s.",
"Those familiar with the field have no doubt that Princess Diana played a significant part in overcoming a harmful and even a cruel taboo in a gesture which was not choreographed but sprung from a deep identification with those who were vulnerable and on the margin.",
"And Princess Diana had a similar impact in the USA.",
"An editorial in the New York Times in 1989 admitted ruefully that it had taken a foreign, and even a royal, dignitary to draw attention to a major public health concern in the US.",
"Princess Diana's work in the very last year of Princess Diana's life for the victims of landmines also caught the popular imagination internationally and certainly accelerated the adoption of the Ottawa Convention, banning the use of a weapon which disproportionately kills and maims women and children.",
"Princess Diana proved the eloquence of embrace and of touch which, of course, have been used by royal healers throughout the centuries.",
"And as Princess Diana said, in Princess Diana's words, \"the biggest disease today is not leprosy or TB but the feeling of being unwanted\".",
"Princess Diana sought out places of suffering, because they are so very often places of truth where the masks have been removed, and Princess Diana was not afraid to be with the dying and to comfort them in an unsentimental way.",
"Bill Deedes accompanied Princess Diana on some of Princess Diana's visits.",
"Bill Deedes's response to the cynics was typically robust.",
"Bill Deedes said: \"Princess Diana was one who sought above all to help vulnerable people in society and who did it so well.",
"Princess Diana was good at this because Princess Diana was vulnerable.",
"Princess Diana knew the feeling.",
"Princess Diana didn't set out to be a saint.\"",
"The role brought great power but, like any member of the Royal Family, Princess Diana also experienced the weight of expectation and the intensity of the scrutiny.",
"Honoring but managing The role and not allowing The role to take over one's personal humanity is a desperately difficult task.",
"As we have heard from Prince Harry, Prince Harry's mother Diana did all that Princess Diana could to prepare Princess Diana's sons for the work which lies ahead.",
"Princess Diana confessed to receiving a very great deal from some of those whose lives Princess Diana touched.",
"Princess Diana said of John, a young Greek suffering from cystic fibrosis: \"He showed no sign of anger, no trace of bitterness but touched us all with an aura of optimism and hope for the future such that I have never before encountered.\"",
"The love of Christ described in the lesson read by William contains the essence of the spiritual life.",
"Princess Diana recognized this quality of life in many of those, like John, whose lives Princess Diana touched.",
"It was a mystery which resonated deeply with Princess Diana and for which Princess Diana reached out.",
"And the mystery is this - the more you go beyond yourself, the more you will become your true self; the more you lose yourself in loving and serving others, the more you will find yourself; the more you keep company with those who suffer, the more you will be healed.",
"This is the knowledge which passes all understanding.",
"This is certain and has been proved experimentally in the life of all the saints.",
"It's easy to lose the real person in the image, to insist that all is darkness or all is light.",
"Still, 10 years after Princess Diana's tragic death, there are regular reports of \"fury\" at this or that incident, and Princess Diana's memory is used for scoring points.",
"Let it end here.",
"Let this service mark the point at which we let Princess Diana rest in peace and dwell on Princess Diana's memory with thanksgiving and compassion.",
"Let us also, echoing the words of Prince Harry, look to the future and pray, in the words of St Paul, for all those who serve our country as members of the Royal Family and most especially for the sons who were so precious to Princess Diana: .",
"\"I pray that you being rooted and established in love may have power with all the saints to grasp what is the breadth and length and depth and height of the love of Christ and to know this love which surpasses knowledge that you might be filled with the fullness of Christ.\"",
"Amen.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Kouchner's declaration that France had to prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program was not conventional diplomatic behavior.",
"But then Kouchner was never expected to be a soft-soaper on the diplomatic scene.",
"Kouchner has a reputation for challenging convention and authority.",
"A surprise appointment from the Socialist ranks to Nicolas Sarkozy's's conservative government, the founder of Medicins Sans Frontiers has always challenged convention and authority.",
"The former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali once called Kouchner 'an unguided missile' and Kouchner has been known to declare: \"To change the law you sometimes have to break the law\".",
"Kouchner was in Kouchner's youth one of the leaders of the students revolt in France in May 1968.",
"Kouchner is a humanitarian as well as a patriot, with a strong commitment to human rights.",
"Unusually for a man of the Left, Kouchner supported the US-led intervention in Iraq (while criticizing the aftermath).",
"But Kouchner did so on the grounds of Saddam Hussein's denial of human rights, not his possible possession of weapons of mass destruction.",
"Kouchner's and Nicolas Sarkozy's's concern for human rights lies behind their eagerness to join Gordon Brown's Britain in a new push for action in Darfur.",
"Kouchner did not come to Kouchner's position with any of former President Chirac's instinctive distrust of the United States.",
"Washington, which has been critical of some European states for some European states's weakness in confronting Teheran, will have been delighted by Kouchner's 'get serious' warning to Teheran.",
"But Kouchner is unlikely to be deterred by fears of upsetting the White House when Kouchner has criticisms to make of US policy.",
"How much should be made of Kouchner's words on Iran remains unclear at this stage.",
"They were scarcely on the same scale as former President Chirac's threat when former President Chirac was still in office to retaliate with nuclear strikes against any state found to be responsible for a large-scale terrorist attack on France.",
"But they are all of a piece with France's new high-profile style under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy.",
"Kouchner, for example, became the first French Foreign Minister to visit Iraq since 1988, insisting that there could only be a political solution to the country's problems, not a military one, and offering France's services as a mediator and 'honest broker' between Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds.",
"On Iran Kouchner is, in a way, merely echoing the words of Kouchner's President who declared in a speech last month that a nuclear-armed Iran would be 'unacceptable' and describing the stand-off over Iran's nuclear program as 'undoubtedly the most serious crisis before us today'.",
"Certainly Kouchner is making clear that France no longer takes the view once expressed by President Chirac that a nuclear-armed Iran might be inevitable .",
"In continuing to ratchet up the rhetoric over that threat and to underline the West's resolution on Iran's nuclear enrichment program Kouchner is supplementing Kouchner's president's warnings.",
"Neither is saying that military intervention against Iran is imminent or inevitable.",
"Neither has yet confirmed that France would be part of any such military action.",
"But both are stressing the risks which are piling up as a result of Teheran's brinkmanship.",
"Perhaps the strongest lesson though from Kouchner's intervention is Kouchner's underlining that the new administration in France is not a knee-jerk anti-American one -- and that France is in the business of reclaiming a role at the top diplomatic tables.",

"1. \"Für Elise\" Bob Dylan wrote \"It Ain't Me, Babe\" for Joan Baez.",
"Written by: Ludwig van Beethoven .",
"Written for: Some girl probably not named Elise.",
"In fact, as far as most historians can tell, Ludwig van Beethoven didn't even know an Elise.",
"Instead, the song was originally titled \"Bagatelle in A minor\" based on some handwritten notation a Ludwig van Beethoven researcher claimed to have seen on a now-lost copy of the sheet music.",
"Further complicating things, Ludwig van Beethoven had hideous handwriting -- to the point that some scholars speculate the song was actually written \"for Therese,\" as in Therese Malfatti, one of several women who turned down a marriage proposal from the notoriously lovesick maestro.",
"2. \"Philadelphia Freedom\" Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin .",
"Written for: Billie Jean King, as a thank-you for a tracksuit she gave Elton.",
"And what a tracksuit it must have been!",
"The 1975 song remains one of the most popular disco hits ever, leaving thousands of Hustle enthusiasts wondering just what Billie Jean King had to do with Philadelphia, anyway.",
"Turns out, The 1975 song was a reference to Billie Jean King's pro tennis team, The Philadelphia Freedoms.",
"Prior to 1968, tennis players were all considered \"amateurs\" and weren't eligible to receive prize money.",
"So, if you didn't have the wealth to support yourself, you couldn't play.",
"Billie Jean King fought against those constraints, ultimately founding Professional World Team Tennis in 1974 and turning tennis into a paid league sport.",
"3. \"Lola\" Written by: The Kinks' Ray Davies . Written for: A transvestite.",
"But the question is, which one?",
"According to Rolling Stone, \"Lola\" was inspired by Candy Darling, a member of Andy Warhol's entourage, whom Ray Davies briefly (and cluelessly) dated.",
"If that's the case, then \"Lola\" is just another notch on Darling's song belt -- Lola's also referred to in Lou Reed's \"Walk on the Wild Side.\"",
"(\"Candy came from out on the Island/ In the backroom Lola was everybody's darlin'.\")",
"But, in The Kinks''s official biography, Ray Davies tells a different story.",
"Ray Davies says \"Lola\" was written after the band's manager spent a very drunken night dancing with a woman whose five o'clock shadow was apparently obvious to everyone but him.",
"4. \"867-5309/Jenny\" Written by: Jim Keller (of Tommy Tutone) and Alex Call .",
"Written for: Unknown, as the songwriters apparently make up a different story about its inspiration every time the songwriters're asked.",
"While the woman continues to remain a mystery, however, the phone number is all too real.",
"In fact, it's been wreaking havoc ever since 1982 and the passage of time hasn't quelled of the number of crank calls.",
"In 1999, Brown University freshman roommates Nina Clemente and Jahanaz Mirza found that out the hard way, when the school adopted an 867 exchange number for the school's on-campus phone system.",
"Immediately, the girls' innocuous Room No. 5309 became a magnet for every drunk college kid with a 1980s fetish.",
"Other unfortunate phone customers have fought back with creative and profitable solutions, like the holder of 212-867-5309, who put his phone number up for auction on eBay in 2004.",
"Bids approached $100,000 before eBay pulled the item at the request of Verizon, the number's actual owner.",
"5. \"Oh, Carol\" Written by: Neil Sedaka .",
"Written for: Carole King, naturally.",
"Neil Sedaka and King actually dated briefly in high school -- a romance Neil Sedaka was able to successfully milk with \"Oh, Carol,\" a then top-10 (if now somewhat forgettable) 1959 pop song.",
"However, the real success of \"Oh, Carol\" came a few months later, when it inspired King to write a rebuttal entitled \"Oh, Neil.\"",
"At the time, King and her husband, Gerry Goffin, were fledgling songwriters in need of a hit tune.",
"\"Oh, Neil\" wasn't that, but it did pay off.",
"After Neil Sedaka gave a tape of the song to Neil Sedaka's boss, King and Goffin landed jobs at the legendary Brill Building pop music factory, where the duo went on to write chart-toppers like \"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow\" and \"The Loco-Motion.\"",
"6. \"It Ain't Me, Babe\" Written by: Bob Dylan .",
"Written for: Joan Baez, though it clearly wasn't the nicest gift Bob Dylan could have given Bob Dylan.",
"The two met in 1961, when Joan Baez was an up-and-coming folk singer and Bob Dylan was a nobody from Minnesota.",
"Desperate to make Bob Dylan's break in the music biz, Bob Dylan worked like crazy to get Joan Baez's attention.",
"Bob Dylan eventually ended up going on tour with her, which is how Bob Dylan first became famous, and also how the two began dating.",
"For a while, they seemed like the golden couple, but things soon went downhill.",
"During a European concert tour together in early 1965, they had a huge fight and parted ways.",
"That May, Bob Dylan was holed up in a hotel after being hospitalized with a virus, and Joan Baez, hoping to remain friends, decided to bring Bob Dylan flowers.",
"Sadly, that's how Joan Baez found out that Joan Baez's ex was already dating someone else.",
"That someone else was Sara Lownds, whom Bob Dylan married a mere six months later.",
"\"Our House\" Written by: Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) Written for: Joni Mitchell.",
"In December 1968, Nash & Young and Joni Mitchell moved into a cozy little house in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles.",
"Though commonly left out of the hippy pantheon, Laurel Canyon was sort of a commune-home away from commune-home for San Francisco society -- not just CSN&Y, but also Jim Morrison, the Eagles, Frank Zappa, and more.",
"\"Our House\" was directly inspired by a lazy Sunday in the Nash/Mitchell household.",
"Nash and Mitchell went out to brunch, hit an antiques store, and then returned to find a cozy little house in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles just a bit chilly, at which point Nash & Young literally \"lit a fire,\" while Joni Mitchell \"placed the flowers in the vase that Joni Mitchell bought that day.\"",
"No, really.",
"The whole tableau seemed so ridiculously domestic to Nash & Young that Nash & Young immediately sat down and spent the rest of the day writing about it.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A wide-open presidential race and a willingness by candidates, interest groups, unions and corporations to buy TV time will lead to historic spending for political and issue-advocacy advertising in the 2008 election cycle, an analysis shows.",
"Mitt Romney has spent the most on TV advertising so far among presidential contenders.",
"The cost to try to influence the 2008 election could exceed $3 billion, according to TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group, CNN's consultant on political television advertising.",
"This is nearly twice as much than what was spent in 2004 when political and issue-advocacy television advertising rang in at $1.7 billion.",
"In 2006, $2.3 billion was spent on political and issue-advocacy TV commercials.",
"Just about every candidate running for an office from dogcatcher to president is spending the money, said Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer.",
"The costs to produce a TV commercial are no longer prohibitive for local and state candidates, who are turning more and more to the airwaves to reach voters.",
"See how spending breaks down for this year » .",
"And interest groups have spent $6.2 million on TV ads so far this year for state and local ballot measures.",
"On the national level, the cost of issue-advocacy television ad spending was $270 million in the first nine months of this year.",
"Subjects ranged from the Iraq war to telecommunications reform.",
"Television ads on health care alone total $60 million.",
"CMAG estimates more than $3 million of the $270 million spent to air issue-advocacy ads this year has gone for commercials in states and districts that are likely to have competitive House and Senate races in 2008.",
"Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer said Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer thinks this is just the beginning of interest groups \"pivoting from legislative advocacy mode to political mode.\"",
"\"What we expect to see between now and the end of the primaries, and through the general election, is groups will take a more aggressive stance on groups's advertising and actually target candidates,\" Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer said.",
"With 17 Democratic and Republican candidates running for president, CMAG predicts that more than $800 million will be spent on TV ads in the battle for the White House.",
"Up to now, the political commercials have been largely focused on the early states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.",
"Voters in some of the 20-plus states holding nominating contests on February 5 will start seeing ads in the coming months.",
"Mitt Romney leads all candidates in TV spending, having aired Mitt Romney's commercials more than 11,000 times this year at a cost of nearly $8.6 million.",
"This is a record for the number of airings at this point in a presidential election cycle.",
"Watch how Mitt Romney is way ahead in ad spending » .",
"In contrast, one of Mitt Romney's chief rivals for the GOP nomination, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has spent nothing on television ads, but Giuliani leads in the national polls and is within striking distance of the lead in several state surveys.",
"Giuliani enjoys widespread national name recognition, while Mitt Romney does not.",
"In the race for the Democratic nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has spent more than $2.3 million on television commercials, while New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has spent $1 million less and leads in both national and early state polls.",
"New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has probably benefited the most in the Democratic contest from the $2 million New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has invested in Richardson's's television commercials.",
"New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's humorous TV ads effectively stated New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's experience as a lawmaker, diplomat and executive, and positioned New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as a solid second-tier candidate.",
"Mitt Romney used Romney's $8.6 million in television ads to introduce Mitt Romney as a social and fiscal conservative to Republican voters.",
"Republican voters might otherwise not know much about Mitt Romney other than that Mitt Romney was the governor of the traditionally liberal Massachusetts.",
"Mitt Romney is leading polls in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.",
"Further evidence of how Mitt Romney's television commercials have helped is in South Carolina.",
"An American Research Group poll of South Carolina Republicans in August showed Mitt Romney registering at 9 percent with these influential primary voters.",
"A month later, and with $350,000 worth of commercials aired in the two weeks leading up to the next poll",
", Mitt Romney was up 17 percentage points.",
"Mitt Romney's latest ad began airing Friday in Iowa, and in Romney's latest ad Mitt Romney vows to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, to boost the military by 100,000 people, to strengthen U.S. intelligence capabilities and to monitor calls into the U.S. from al Qaeda.",
"All of these issues should play well with conservatives who participate in the Iowa caucuses.",
"While only a handful of Democratic candidates and Mitt Romney have used the airwaves until now, Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer said Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer expects this to change.",
"\"Before the end of October, I suspect all the frontrunner candidates will be on the air,\" Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer said.",
"\"As we get closer to primary day, the frontrunners will be joined by all the candidates in the race who are taking their last, best shot.\"",
"In the fight for Congress, CMAG predicts that as much as $639 million could be spent on television advertising.",
"Democrats control the House and Senate.",
"Evan Tracey, CMAG's chief operating officer noted that CMAG's 2008 election cycle forecast does not take into account unforeseen events such as former Florida Rep. Mark Foley's House page scandal or the September 11 terrorist attacks.",
"\"Politics is completely beholden to events,\" he said.",
"\"Events will ultimately determine how much is spent, where and when.\"",
"What television advertising challenges do candidates and interest groups face in the coming months?",
"\"Chances are, just as what happened in 2006, voters will be numb after watching hundred and hundreds of ads,\" said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report.",
"\"The sheer number of ads probably dilutes ads's importance.",
"After a while, ads just become lots of chatter and an ad will have to be really good to cut through the noise.\"",

"Filmmaker Michael Moore, whose new documentary \"Sicko\" takes on America's health care system, faced off Tuesday with CNN chief medical correspondent and practicing neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta.",
"Moore and CNN's Gupta argued Tuesday about Gupta's report on Moore's film \"Sicko\" Moore criticized a report Gupta did on CNN Monday on \"Sicko.\"",
"\"He said the facts were fudged,\" Moore said, referring to Gupta, on CNN's \"Larry King Live.\"",
"\"That's a lie.",
"None of the facts are fudged.\"",
"Moore and Gupta shouted and argued over data Gupta used and data Moore used.",
"Moore said Moore's staffers backed up the film's facts to Gupta before Gupta aired and that Gupta aired it knowing Gupta's facts were wrong.",
"Gupta disputed that.",
"Watch Moore, Gupta make their points » .",
"\"We try and look for some of the best sources we can possibly find,\" Gupta said.",
"\"Moore has a lot of different numbers.",
"... You're sort of cherry-picking data from different reports.\"",
"Both agreed, however, on the basic premise of \"Sicko\": Problems abound in America's health-care system and need to be fixed.",
"\"I thought it was a good movie, and I wanted to say that,\" Gupta said.",
"\"I think it strikes at the irrefutable fact -- it's broken.",
"We get it.\"",
"Gupta praised Moore for raising awareness of the issue.",
"However, Gupta said Gupta was concerned that the movie -- which notes that other developed nations such as France and Canada have universal health care --suggests that health care in those countries is free.",
"While patients may not pay for services at the doctor's office, patients do pay high taxes to fund such a system, something Gupta said Gupta was concerned that \"Sicko\" audiences might not realize.",
"Moore responded by saying Americans pay more in copays, deductibles and insurance premiums.",
"\"We [America] have a system built on profit,\" Moore said.",
"Moore asked Gupta if the current system, which requires him to receive approval from an insurance company before performing some procedures, is cumbersome to Gupta.",
"\"It's a shameful system, especially when I'm dealing with some of my patients,\" Gupta said.",
"But Gupta questioned Moore's apparent solution -- putting health care in the hands of the Bush administration, which Moore fiercely criticized in the past, particularly in Moore's film \"Fahrenheit 9/11.\"",
"\"The government actually used to do things right,\" Moore said in response.",
"\"The problem is who we put in power.\"",
"Moore has adamantly opposed the war in Iraq and said The government should reprioritize -- a position Moore took many years before skepticism of the war in Iraq's success abounded in Washington.",

"Pratibha Patil, the ruling coalition's 72-year-old nominee for the mainly ceremonial post, easily beat opposition-backed challenger and vice president, Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, in a vote by the national parliament and state politicians.",
"\"This a victory of the people,\" Pratibha Patil's told reporters after official results were announced Saturday.",
"\"I am grateful to the people of India and the men and women of India and this is a victory for the principles which our Indian people uphold.\"",
"Pratibha Patil's won about two thirds of the electoral college votes.",
"There had never been any doubt Pratibha Patil's would win, given support from the ruling coalition.",
"Pratibha Patil's, Pratibha Patil's emerged on the national stage when the Congress-led coalition and its communist allies failed to agree on a joint candidate.",

"Supporters hoped Pratibha Patil's's candidacy would help bring issues that plague women in India, like dowry-related violence, into the public spotlight.",

"India has had a number of female icons in the past -- most famously Sonia Gandhi's mother-in-law, Indira, who was one of the world's first female prime ministers in 1966.",

"(CNN) --",
"Explorer Dennis Schmitt found an island nearly two years ago near Greenland.",
"Fishermen pass by Greenland's Ilulissat fjord in this September 2004 picture.",
"Such a discovery would usually elicit curiosity, even wonder perhaps, but Such a discovery evoked mixed feelings for the explorer.",
"an island was once thought to be a peninsula attached to Greenland by an ice shelf or a glacier.",
"But such a large amount of ice melted, it revealed an island.",
"\"I very quickly realized two things,\" Explorer Dennis Schmitt told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a visit to an island earlier this year.",
"\"One [was] that Such a discovery was going to be significant because Such a discovery was going to be an example of climate change.\"",
"\"The other thing was that Such a discovery meant Such a discovery was really happening.",
"It wasn't a joke.",
"It wasn't just statistics.",
"It was really happening.\"",
"Explorer Dennis Schmitt calls Explorer Dennis Schmitt's discovery an island.",
"Many climatologists and scientists say arctic ice melt and other changes in the Earth's climate are the result of an increase in the world's temperature, a trend widely called global warming.",
"Many global warming experts say the phenomenon, if unchecked, is capable of altering the world's climate and geography.",
"In the worst-case scenario, experts say oceans could rise to overwhelming and catastrophic levels, flooding cities and altering seashores.",
"Other scientists and observers, a minority compared to those who believe the warming trend is something ominous, say it is simply the latest shift in the cyclical patterns of a planet's life.",
"Most of the scientific community believes that some warming is occurring across the globe and through some layers of the atmosphere.",
"But why it is occurring and what that means for the future is scientifically and politically contentious.",
"the Earth's temperature averages about 60 degrees Fahrenheit (about 16 degrees Celsius).",
"The average surface temperature has warmed one degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius) during the last century, according to the National Research Council.",
"The temperatures were relatively unchanged from 1880 to 1910, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.",
"They rose till about 1945, cooled until about 1975 and have risen steadily to present day.",
"There are several possible reasons for the warming, scientists say.",
"A change in the Earth's orbit or the intensity of the sun's radiation could change, triggering warming or cooling.",
"The reason most cited -- by scientists and scientific organizations -- for the current warming trend is an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, which are in the atmosphere naturally and help keep the planet's temperature at a comfortable level.",
"The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, for instance, has increased by 35 percent since the dawn of the industrial age, according to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, commonly referred to as the IPCC.",
"The presence of methane is now 151 percent above pre-industrial levels, but the rate of increase has slowed in recent decades, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.",
"Meanwhile, nitrous oxide increased by about 18 percent during the past 200 years.",
"Many scientists and experts who have studied global warming believe the increase is primarily the result of human activities, like the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from vehicles and the clearing of forests.",
"\"For the last 30 years, there's no way there's anything natural that can explain it,\" Stephen Schneider, a professor of environmental studies at Stanford University in California, said.",
"\"A vast bulk of the knowledgeable and honest community ... will say the science is settled and humans are at least a majority of the reason behind the warming,\" he added.",
"Many scientific organizations share Schneider's view, ranging from the national academies of the countries that comprise the G8 to the National Research Council, the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union.",
"But there are those who do not share his view, and among the skeptics is Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.",
"\"We've suddenly taken to reading tea leaves,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"When we saw cooling from 1940 to 1970, we were proclaiming global cooling.",
"Since then, there's been a few tenths of global warming, so we're proclaiming global warming.\"",
"Lindzen believes the current warming trend is the result of natural variability, where a planet goes through phases of warming and cooling and the human contribution to it is minimal.",
"\"The Earth is always getting colder and warmer,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"It's always changing.",
"In fact, this is true of any fluid-covered planet.\"",
"Asked about glacial melt, which many observers point to as evidence of global warming, Lindzen said the way glaciers change and move are phenomena largely unexplained.",
"\"We don't know why, but it's perfectly clear that glaciers change even though the temperature is cooling at the place that they've occurred,\" Lindzen said.",
"\"What we're doing is cherry picking any event that occurs and then saying that's occurring due to global warming.\"",
"Yet, for Schneider, it is a cause for concern and alarm.",
"\"We're already in serious melt, nobody can explain it.",
"The models don't predict it,\" Schneider said.",
"\"We don't know what's going on up there.",
"All we know is that we could be triggering something really nasty.\"",
"The greatest point of contention is the possible implications for future political and economic policies for the world's nations.",
"The IPCC in February 2007 projected that if carbon dioxide levels doubled relative to pre-industrial levels, temperatures could rise between 3.6 to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit (2 to 4.5 degrees Celsius) by 2100.",
"The lower end of the range could cause more intense hurricanes, droughts, wildfires and flooding, Schneider said.",
"The higher end could lead to the catastrophes commonly associated with the visions of Hollywood filmmakers.",
"Uncertainties, however, plague such forecasts, which are based on computer simulations and models.",
"The models contemplate factors associated with how the atmosphere, oceans and continents interact, all natural elements that have unpredictability intrinsic to them.",
"\"Exactly how much it's going to warm up, we don't know,\" Schneider said.",
"\"That it's going to warm up?",
"I'd bet anything on that.\"",
