"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) --",
"The tabloid-friendly tale of the so-called California \"Octomom\" continues to stir debate -- this time 2,000 miles away in the Georgia state capitol, where lawmakers say lawmakers're trying to prevent a repeat.",
"Proposed legislation regulating in-vitro practices came after Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets.",
"A Georgia state senator introduced bill.",
"Sen. Ralph Hudgens, a Republican from near Athens, Georgia, said A Georgia state senator's legislation was inspired by Nadya Suleman, the woman who said she gave birth to octuplets after being fertilized with six embryos -- an unusually high number.",
"\"She is not married,\" said Hudgens.",
"\"She is unemployed, she is on government assistance and now she is going to put those 14 children on the back of the taxpayers in the state of California.\"",
"Suleman, 33, had six children before the procedure.",
"A Georgia state senator' plan, which was co-sponsored by several other senators,",
"would limit the number of embryos a doctor could implant to two for women under 40 years old and three for women 40 or older.",
"Those numbers are slightly less than what's considered the norm in medical circles.",
"The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends no more than two embryos for women under 35 years old and no more than five for women over 40.",
"The reason for allowing more embryos in women over 40 is that it is more difficult for them to get pregnant.",
"State lawmakers in Missouri are considering a similar bill.",
"And England and Italy have had similar limits on the books for years.",
"At least some fertility doctors say the limits in A Georgia state senator' bill would hurt chances for women to get pregnant.",
"They say that while three embryos are usually enough, there are special cases when they need more.",
"\"What bill will effectively do is shut us down,\" said Dr. Daniel Shapiro, a fertility doctor in Atlanta.",
"\"Patients seeking reproductive care in Georgia will go to Tennessee or South Carolina or Alabama.",
"Patients seeking reproductive care in Georgia will just leave.\"",
"Breaking the law would carry a fine of up to $1,000 under bill.",
"Some critics of bill also see another problem, calling bill a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions in the state.",
"The bill, which A Georgia state senator titled the \"Ethical Treatment of Human Embryos Act,\" contains language that says \"a living in vitro human embryo is a biological human being who is not the property of any person or entity.\"",
"The anti-abortion group Georgia Right to Life issued a news release in support of bill on the day bill was introduced.",
"\"Georgia Right to Life supports A Georgia state senator in bill and wants to see strong protections in place to stop the dangerous practice of implanting more embryos than is medically recommended,\" The anti-abortion group Georgia Right to Life said, saying bill would help avoid premature births and low birth weight in in-vitro fertilization cases.",
"Realistically, bill faces long odds of passing -- at least in the near future.",
"Tuesday was Day 25 of the Georgia legislature's 40-day session.",
"Legislators will meet 10 more days, then take a break until June, when lawmakers will consider how money flowing to Georgia from the federal economic-stimulus plan may help lawmakers's ongoing budget woes.",
"According the the Georgia legislature's Web site on Tuesday, A Georgia state senator' bill had been read and assigned to a committee, but no other action had taken place.",
"Some Georgians from the lawmaker's part of Georgia say Some Georgians from the lawmaker's part of the state hope he has to keep waiting for a long time.",
"\"Unless A Georgia state senator is a physician, ethicist or other informed professional, A Georgia state senator should step aside and let the medical professionals determine what is best in individual cases,\" Dorothy West wrote in a letter to the editor of the Athens Banner-Herald, Hudgens' hometown paper.",
"\"There are other issues more important to the citizens of Georgia that should be addressed.\"",
"CNN's Elizabeth Cohen and Doug Gross contributed to this report."

"Jennifer Bilotta thought Jennifer Bilotta and Jennifer Bilotta's husband Michael had the perfect present for her husband Michael's cousin's wedding.",
"The gift in question -- a fused-glass plate decorated with a \"tacky scene of a bride and groom,\" Jennifer Bilotta recalls -- had been given to Jennifer Bilotta at Jennifer Bilotta's own wedding a few years earlier.",
"Nothing wrong with a little regifting as long as the bride and groom enjoy the gift.",
"Or so Jennifer Bilotta thought.",
"\"Jennifer Bilotta collects Barbies, and he collects G.I. Joes,\" says Jennifer Bilotta, 33, a publicist in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania.",
"\"The plate seemed up their alley.",
"So for their wedding gift, we gave them The plate along with a card with a check for the usual wedding amount.\"",
"But their wedding gift didn't go over well.",
"\"A few weeks after they got married, we were talking to them about their wedding gifts, and they mentioned this hideous glass plate that someone gave them,\" Jennifer Bilotta says.",
"\"a card with a check for the usual wedding amount must have gotten separated from The plate, so they didn't know a card with a check for the usual wedding amount was from us and they both went on about how ugly it was.",
"We never fessed up.\"",
"Watch when to send a gift » .",
"Deciding what to give (or not give) newlyweds is never an easy task, says Peggy Post, one of the country's leading etiquette experts and co-author of the book \"A Wedding Like No Other.\"",
"Before you turn into a guestzilla, however, take heart.",
"\"Gift giving doesn't have to be a stressful experience,\" says Post.",
"The wrong way to give .",
"Some gifts should never be given -- namely those that you yourself received.",
"Whether it's to save yourself some cash or to avoid the hassle of shopping, regifting is a wedding no-no, says Steve Kemble, star of Style Network's \"Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?\" and \"Married Away.\"",
"\"What makes you think someone is going to want a gift you did not want?\" Kemble says.",
"\"Plain and simple, re-gifting is tacky!",
"If you do not have the time to think about what a couple would really want, then don't give anything at all.\"",
"Kemble ticks off a few of his favorite wedding gift gaffes: shot glasses (\"I simply do not think there could be anything tackier,\" he says); knives ( \"they represent bad luck for a relationship\"); and, worst of all, deciding that a gift isn't necessary, because you gave the bride or groom a gift the last time they got married.",
"\"If you feel this way, then I feel you should not attend the wedding,\" he says.",
"\"If you are going to sincerely celebrate with them on their special day, then show that you are happy for them, and tradition says you should do this by honoring them with a gift.\"",
"The right way to give .",
"When it comes to gift giving, Rob Johnsen, co-founder of MyWedding.com, has some simple, if calculating advice: Decide how much your relationship is worth.",
"If the happy couple are two of your most cherished friends or relatives, get ready to fork over about $200, says Johnsen.",
"\"A blender or silverware off a traditional registry won't quite have the sentiment you are looking for,\" Johnsen says.",
"Is the bride or groom is someone you talk to only a few times a year, yet someone you still value?",
"Then keep your gift between $50 and $100, and feel comfortable selecting a set of dishes off the registry, says Johnsen.",
"For distant relations, friends of friends or other lesser acquaintances, limit your spending to $50.",
"\"Sentiment here really isn't of concern, so go for something off the registry, or some cash in a card is acceptable too,\" Johnsen says.",
"Peggy Post disagrees with putting a price limit on a wedding gift (\"There's no such thing as a dollar amount,\" Peggy Post says), but Peggy Post does suggest basing the amount you spend on your affection for the bride and groom and their family.",
"\"If you're a close cousin, you'd probably want to ratchet it up a bit, rather than if you're just an acquaintance,\" Peggy Post says.",
"Of course, not everyone can afford to give extravagantly, even if the newlyweds are dear friends.",
"Not to fear, Peggy Post says: You won't be breaking any etiquette rules by splitting the cost of a high-dollar gift with a fellow guest.",
"And, Peggy Post adds, it's especially acceptable if you're in your 20s and a recent college graduate with a limited income.",
"Cash is acceptable, too, as is deviating from the bridal registry.",
"\"Do what you feel comfortable with,\" Peggy Post says.",
"\"Just don't do something totally off the wall.\"",
"Gifts that make memories .",
"Sometimes, though, offbeat wedding gifts can impress.",
"Manhattan resident Samuella Becker, 53, says she'll never forget a gift someone gave her and her husband for her and her husband's wedding 24 years ago.",
"\"One of the members of her and her husband's wedding party, an attorney who I worked with at a major Fortune 500 company, gave her and her husband a magician to perform at her and her husband's reception,\" explains the owner of a media relations firm.",
"There was just one problem: The reception, held in the elegant Crystal Room at New York City's Tavern on the Green, wasn't exactly the ideal place for magic tricks.",
"But, Becker says, the gift, which might have been seen as tacky by some, ended up becoming a wedding-day highlight.",
"\"All guests, young and old, were absolutely entranced and filled with wonder as the magician performed trick after trick,\" she says.",
"It was a reminder, she says, that sometimes the most unusual and daring gifts can be the most memorable and welcome.",

"(CNN) --",
"Piracy off the coast of Somalia rose nearly 200 percent in 2008 compared to the year before, with bolder attacks over greater distances, an international piracy monitor said Friday.",
"The French military on patrol in the Gulf of Aden.",
"Somalia and the Gulf of Aden were the worst areas for piracy in 2008, according to the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC).",
"It said 42 vessels were hijacked there and 815 crew members taken hostage -- more than any place else in the world.",
"The increased ability of pirates to sail farther out to sea, coupled with the inability of the Somali government to respond, led to what the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) called an \"unprecedented\" rise in piracy in the area.",
"The problems off the coast of Somalia contributed to a global rise in piracy, which was up 11 percent in 2008 from the year before, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"\"The 2008 statistics surpass all figures recorded by Piracy Reporting Center since Piracy Reporting Center began Piracy Reporting Center's worldwide reporting function in 1991,\" said IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan.",
"Worldwide in 2008, a total of 49 vessels were hijacked and 889 crew members taken hostage",
", the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"Eleven crew members were killed and 21 others are missing and presumed dead.",
"The pirates are targeting every kind of vessel and are better armed and prepared to assault and injure the crew, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"Incidents involving guns nearly doubled from 72 in 2007 to 139 last year.",
"Pirate attacks last year included the hijacking of the largest ship ever taken by pirates, an oil supertanker called the Sirius Star.",
"Attackers seized the giant ship and the Sirius Star's 23-man crew in November and only released the Sirius Star last week after receiving a $3.5 million ransom payment.",
"The carrier's crew was released unharmed.",
"Last year's uptick in hijackings off East Africa has already spurred a number of international navies to patrol the Gulf of Aden.",
"IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan said IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan hoped that more governments would authorize more governments's naval forces to patrol the Gulf of Aden.",
"\"International navies are the only ones capable of effective response against piracy in the Gulf of Aden and can help to secure the safety and security of this major maritime trade route,\" IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan said.",
"Nigeria ranks second in world piracy with 40 reported incidents last year, including five hijackings and 39 crew members kidnapped.",
"The main difference between the East and West African pirate activities is that almost all the incidents in Nigeria are conducted within Nigeria's territorial waters, whereas most of the incidents along the East coast of Africa and the Gulf of Aden occur on the high seas, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"That means vessels in the Gulf area have a much harder time staying away from pirate-infested waters.",
"The motives for the attacks are also different.",
"In Somalia the motives are financial while in Nigeria they are at least partly political, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"Under-reporting of piracy in Nigerian waters is also a problem for the International Maritime Bureau, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"While 2008 appeared to be a bad year for piracy, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) noted declines in other areas of the world, especially in Indonesia.",
"IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan said sustained anti-piracy efforts by Indonesian authorities have resulted in declines every year.",
"More than 121 attacks were reported there in 2003 but only 28 were reported last year, most of which were opportunistic, low-level attacks, IMB Director Captain Pottengal Mukundan said.",
"Only two attacks happened last year in the Malacca Straits, which lie between Indonesia and Malaysia, compared to seven the year before, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"Farther south, the Singapore Straits saw a slight rise in incidents, going from three to six, the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"\"This welcome reduction has been the cumulative result of increased vigilance and patrolling by the littoral states and the continued precautionary measures on board ships,\" the annual report from International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center (PRC) said.",
"\"With the world economy in its present uncertain condition, there is a possibility of piracy increasing.",
"Navies and coast guards must continue therefore to maintain Navies and coast guards's efforts against pirates.\""

"Predatory mice are threatening the albatross population on a remote south Atlantic island and have caused the birds' worst nesting season on record, a British bird charity says.",
"Baby albatross on a remote Atlantic island are threatened by the island.",
"The research from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds indicates bad news for the Tristan albatross, whose only home is a south Atlantic island in the middle of the south Atlantic.",
"House mice not native to a south Atlantic island are threatening the Tristan albatross with extinction, the RSPB said.",
"the island are also threatening the native population of bunting, one of the world's largest finches, the RSPB said.",
"\"Without removal of the island, both the albatross and the bunting that live there are doomed to extinction,\" Grahame Madge, a conservation spokesman for the RSPB, told CNN.",
"The mice on a south Atlantic island eat the chicks of the albatross and bunting before they make it to the fledgling stage, the RSPB said.",
"This makes it especially difficult for the albatross population to survive because the birds lay eggs only once every two years -- a very low reproductive rate compared to other birds, Madge said.",
"\"What [the island] are affecting is the ability of the albatross to produce enough young to sustain the population,\" Madge said.",
"Adult Tristan albatross are threatened by longline fishing at sea, a practice in which boats put up numerous 100-meter long fishing lines baited with squid or fish.",
"The albatrosses are attracted to the bait and while some manage to steal it successfully, many more get snagged and drown, Madge said.",
"Because of the impact from house mice, introduced to the island by sealers in the 18th and 19th centuries, conservation alliance BirdLife International earlier this year listed both the Tristan albatross and the Gough bunting as critically endangered -- the highest threat level before extinction.",
"Gough Island, a British territory almost midway between Argentina and South Africa, is a place of stunning natural beauty.",
"a south Atlantic island is not inhabited by humans.",
"a south Atlantic island and nearby Inaccessible Island are both listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.",
"A survey of the albatross on a south Atlantic island in January showed 1,764 adults incubating eggs, the RSPB said.",
"A later survey revealed only 246 chicks had survived to fledgling.",
"\"the RSPB've known for a long time that the island were killing albatross chicks in huge numbers,\" said RSPB scientist Richard Cuthbert, who recently visited a south Atlantic island to assess the problem.",
"\"However, the RSPB now know that the albatrosses have suffered the albatrosses's worst year on record.\"",
"The bunting suffer because the island eat The bunting's eggs and chicks, and may also compete with The bunting for food in the winter, Cuthbert said.",
"\"The decline in bunting numbers is alarming,\" said Peter Ryan of the University of Cape Town, who has been studying buntings on a south Atlantic island since the 1980s.",
"\"Without urgent conservation action to remove the island, both the albatross and The bunting are living on borrowed time.\"",
"the RSPB has been studying whether it is possible to remove the island.",
"the RSPB said trials so far look promising, but the RSPB urged the British government to step up funding for the project.",
"the RSPB said eradicating the mice from a south Atlantic island would solve the primary conservation threat facing both bird species.",
"the RSPB said the RSPB had been working with New Zealand conservationists on a program to remove the island by dropping poisoned bait from helicopters.",
"Tristan albatrosses are one of 22 species of albatross in the world.",
"Albatrosses principally live in the southern Atlantic but some also live in the Pacific, the RSPB says.",
"Albatrosses are among the largest flying birds, weighing up to 25 pounds (22.5 kilograms).",
"One species -- the wandering albatross -- has a wingspan of 11 feet, the RSPB says.",
"The birds can fly thousands of miles without a pause, and The birds's only need to touch land is to nest and raise The birds's young, the RSPB says."

"First of all, we don't adore Mary; we adore God, only God.",

"Stiles, a resident of Pahrump, Nevada, was arrested in a traffic stop in October 2007.",

"Chester Arthur Stiles eventually admitted who Chester Arthur Stiles was and that Chester Arthur Stiles was being sought, authorities said.",
"The man who turned the tape over to authorities, Darrin Tuck, faced criminal charges because of the delay in turning Tape over, during which authorities alleged Darrin Tuck showed Tape to others.",

"Turkish Airlines workers carry the coffins of four staff who died in the crash.",
"On February 25, Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 from Istanbul to Amsterdam dropped from the sky on approach to the landing strip at Schiphol Airport, shattering into three pieces in a muddy field.",
"Pieter van Vollenhoven, head of the Dutch Safety Board, said A \"faulty\" flight instrument was one of the plane's two altimeters, which measure altitude.",
"Because of the \"faulty\" left altimeter, the plane on automatic pilot reacted as if the plane on automatic pilot were lower than it was and started to behave as if the plane on automatic pilot was touching down.",
"the plane on automatic pilot was at 700 meters but A \"faulty\" flight instrument indicated that the plane on automatic pilot was at ground level.",
"This caused the automatic throttles to slow the plane on automatic pilot down, leading to a loss of speed.",
"the plane on automatic pilot was on automatic pilot when the plane on automatic pilot crashed.",
"Van Vollenhoven said there had been misty weather and if it were clearer then the pilots might have noticed how far up the pilots were.",
"Van Vollenhoven said that if such instruments don't function, automatic pilots should not be used for landings.",
"Investigators said there had been faulty meter readings on two other flights but the pilots were able to land.",
"Van Vollenhoven said that the pilots realized the problem but failed to appreciate what had been happening until it was too late.",
"In the immediate aftermath of the crash investigators said the plane on automatic pilot fell almost vertically to the ground indicating the aircraft did not have enough forward speed.",
"The plane crash less than 500 yards short of the runway.",
"Passengers described feeling the plane on automatic pilot suddenly drop before impact, and at least one passenger said he heard the pilot trying to give more power to the engines before the plane on automatic pilot went down.",

"Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart wants craigslist to eliminate its Erotic Services section.",
"\"Craigslist is the single largest source of prostitution in the nation,\" Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said.",
"\"Missing children, runaways, abused women and women trafficked in from foreign countries are routinely forced to have sex with strangers because they're being pimped on craigslist.\"",
"The FBI found more than 2,800 child prostitution ads posted on craigslist, with Chicago, Illinois, in the top 10 cities for juvenile prostitution, Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said.",
"Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart also noted instances of what Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said was child neglect while parents were engaged in activity solicited on Craigslist.",
"In an e-mailed statement, Craigslist told CNN Craigslist had not seen Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart's complaint but that \"craigslist is an extremely unwise choice for those intent on committing crimes, since criminals inevitably leave an electronic trail to criminals that law enforcement officers will follow.\"",
"\"On a daily basis, we are being of direct assistance to police departments and federal authorities nationwide,\" spokeswoman Susan McTavish said.",
"\"Misuse of craigslist to facilitate criminal activity is unacceptable, and we continue to work diligently to prevent criminal activity,\" spokeswoman Susan McTavish said.",
"\"Misuse of Craigslist is exceptionally rare compared to how much Craigslist is used for legal purposes.",
"Regardless, any misuse of Craigslist is not tolerated on craigslist.\"",
"But Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said that the Web site for two years has ignored Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart's written requests to shut down the Erotic Services section and failed to take action or adequately monitor the Erotic Services section despite hundreds of arrests.",
"\"Pimps are preying on the most vulnerable members of our society and taking advantage of our struggling economy,\" Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said.",
"\"The worst part is craigslist's owners know craigslist's owners's Web site is still being used for illegal purposes and craigslist's owners're doing nothing to stop it.\"",
"Craigslist entered into an agreement with 43 states' attorneys general in November to enact measures that impose restrictions on Craigslist's Erotic Services section.",
"The agreement called for Craigslist to implement a phone verification system for listings that required ad posters to provide a real telephone number that would be called before the ad went public.",
"Craigslist also imposed listing fees, requiring a credit card, for ads in the section.",
"The proceeds were to be donated to charity.",
"Dart called the fees \"dirty money\" and said the move was a \"publicity stunt\" that had little practical effect because pimps use stolen credit cards or post ads in free sections."

"To pick up the morning paper and see the word \"recount\" in a headline stirs an ominous case of déjà vu.",
"Judge Robert Rosenberg examines a ballot in Broward County, Florida, during the election recount in 2000.",
"At issue in recent days in Palm Beach County is a local judicial race that is hardly of national note.",
"But problems with administering the local election, and statements from county officials that some critics call confusing, if not contradictory, have some worried about the coming presidential election.",
"Polls showing a dead heat in the battle for Florida's 27 electoral votes only add to the drama.",
"\"Managerially, software-wise, procedure-wise, training-wise, there is no confidence that these people will be ready in less than 50 days for the election we are all going to have,\" said Sid Dinerstein, the Palm Beach County Republican chairman.",
"\"Never again!\" was the county's promise after the butterfly ballots and hanging chads of the 2000 recount drama.",
"For 2004, the county switched to touch-screen machines.",
"There were no major issues here.",
"But some local Democrats, including Rep. Robert Wexler, demanded changes because some local Democrats, including Rep. Robert Wexler said the touch-screen system might be vulnerable to fraud and did not, in some local Democrats, including Rep. Robert Wexler's view, provide a reliable audit trail.",
"So the county switched again, to the county's third system in eight years, this time a paper ballot that is scanned by an optical reading device.",
"a paper ballot that is scanned by an optical reading device is then retained in case of recounts or other irregularities.",
"Local officials say the system works and promise a smooth Election Day.",
"But Sid Dinerstein, the Palm Beach County Republican chairman says the recount in the judicial race proves the folly of switching.",
"\"We could have had nice, reliable computers counting and giving all of us an honest count,\" Sid Dinerstein, the Palm Beach County Republican chairman said in an interview.",
"the 2000 recount drama led to major changes -- more than 40 states made changes or adjustments to the way more than 40 states conducted and administered elections.",
"\"We have had more change in our election process since 2000 than we have seen since the Voting Rights Act of 1965,\" said Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, a recent past president of the national association of top state elections officials.",
"Indiana spent some $67 million on new equipment, including a statewide voter file, and also requires a color photo ID on Election Day.",
"Rokita takes issue with those who question the reliability of newer, high-tech systems.",
"\"You know, Indiana use technology in every one of Indiana's financial transactions and social transactions -- why did Indiana not until 2000 put that type of technology to use when it comes to Indiana's most sacred civic transaction, you know, the voting process?\" Rokita asked in an interview at Rokita's office in Indianapolis.",
"\"The technology is just a tool.",
"And what the conspiracy theorists want you to believe is The technology runs the election -- and nothing could be further from the truth,\" Rokita said.",
"\"If you have well-trained people who know how to use that technology and those tools, to know what to do if a battery dies on election day, all those things, then you will have a fair and an accurate election and the people are the ones who will produce that.",
"And If they are not trained and they are not prepared, then you are not going to have a good election.",
"But it is the people, not the machines.\"",
"Indiana expects a record number of new voters this year, and Rokita is changing Rokita's usual advice as a result.",
"In the past Rokita has encouraged voting on Election Day, saying it builds community spirit and gives voters up to the last moment to ponder voters's choices.",
"But this year, given the high interest in Rokita's state and nationwide, Rokita suggests voters who are certain they will not change their minds help ease the burden -- and the potential for mistakes on Election Day -- by taking advantage of any early voting options in their states."

"HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) --",
"Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was in stable condition and recovering from head injuries Friday night after a car wreck that killed Susan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, medical sources told CNN.",
"Tsvangirai and Susan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, were en route to the prime minister's hometown of Buhera.",
"The crash, on a busy two-lane highway between Tsvangirai's hometown of Buhera and the capital city of Harare, comes just weeks after the start of a power-sharing agreement between Tsvangirai and Tsvangirai's political rival, President Robert Mugabe.",
"Analysts say The crash is bound to raise suspicion of foul play, with one former U.S. diplomat calling for an outside investigation, saying The crash is not the first time that a political foe of Mugabe has been killed or injured in a car crash.",
"Members of Tsvangirai's political party, the Movement for Democratic Change, said Friday that it was too early to tell whether The crash is anything other than an accident.",
"Tsvangirai's aide and driver also were injured in the head-on collision with a large truck, according to Tsvangirai's spokesman, James Maridadi.",
"Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa said Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa spoke to Tsvangirai at the hospital, and Tsvangirai was in \"relatively stable\" condition.",
"An MDC spokesman describes 'critical' accident » .",
"Sources at The Avenues Clinic in Harare said that Tsvangirai was in stable condition with minor head injuries and that Tsvangirai was alert and talking.",
"One source said the attending doctor had told Tsvangirai of Susan Tsvangirai's wife's death.",
"Another said that doctors were planning to keep Tsvangirai overnight for observation and that specialists were checking Tsvangirai's condition.",
"Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, took office last month under a power-sharing deal with President Mugabe after a contentious election.",
"Tsvangirai's MDC reached the power-sharing agreement with Mugabe in September after months of angry dispute that included violence.",
"More than 200 deaths, mainly those of opposition supporters, were reported leading up to and in the aftermath of a contentious election.",
"\"I'm skeptical about any motor vehicle accident in Zimbabwe involving an opposition figure,\" said Tom McDonald, the U.S. ambassador to Zimbabwe from 1997 to 2001.",
"\"President Mugabe has a history of strange car accidents when someone lo and behold dies -- it's sort of President Mugabe's M.O. of how they get rid of people they don't like.\"",
"Watch more on The crash » .",
"Tom McDonald cited the 2001 death of Defense Minister Moven Mahachi, Employment Minister Border Gezi's death in 1999 and the death last year of Elliot Manyika, a government minister and former regional governor.",
"All three died in car crashes.",
"\"This is several,\" Tom McDonald said.",
"\"So, when I hear that Tsvangirai was in an accident, it gives me pause.\"",
"McDonald, now an attorney with the Washington law firm Baker Hostetler, urged a full investigation by outside authorities.",
"One analyst who studies the region said The crash could \"exacerbate\" the fragile unity government.",
"\"There will undoubtedly be suspicions about the cause of The crash and whether there was foul play involved,\" said Jennifer Cooke, director of the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.",
"\"At a time when there needs to be confidence-building measures, this incident potentially raises suspicions and undermines the potential for greater cohesion of the government.",
"[There is] huge potential for the agreement to be manipulated by Mugabe.\"",
"Tom McDonald, however, was quick to say that traffic accidents are common in Zimbabwe.",
"The highway on which Tsvangirai was traveling is a two-lane road where tractor-trailers are common, vehicles in the country are often in bad shape and drivers often are inexperienced, Tom McDonald said.",
"\"It's certainly plausible that this was just one of those tragic things,\" Tom McDonald said.",
"The crash occurred on the Harare-Masvingo Road as Tsvangirai and Tsvangirai's wife headed to Tsvangirai's hometown of Buhera, south of the capital, Harare, Tsvangirai's spokesman said.",
"The couple, who were married in 1978, have six children, according to the British Broadcasting Corporation.",
"Last month, Susan Tsvangirai told a BBC affiliate that the past decade had been an \"endurance test\" for Susan Tsvangirai's husband and Tsvangirai's MDC colleagues.",
"\"People went through hell, but People stuck to People's ideals to seek change through democratic means,\" Susan Tsvangirai said.",
"\"This was a struggle that we endured with MDC cadres, activists, supporters and peace-loving Zimbabweans.",
"\"To them I say thank you so much for the support they gave MDC to reach this momentous period.\"",
"A former miner and union organizer, Morgan Tsvangirai first ran for president in 2002 against Mugabe, who has been the country's leader since it gained independence from Great Britain in 1980.",
"Since then, Tsvangirai has been charged with treason twice and accused of plotting to assassinate Mugabe.",
"Tsvangirai was arrested and allegedly beaten in 2007.",
"The criminal charges against Tsvangirai were dropped.",
"CNN's Nkepile Mabuse, Alan Silverleib and Doug Gross contributed to this report."

"A costumed reveler at a Captain Morgan party celebrates the rum named after the 17th century privateer.",
"We put them in our cocktails, but how well do we know them?",
"Here's some biographical detail on the men behind your favorite tipples: .",
"1. Captain Morgan .",
"Captain Morgan wasn't always just the choice of sorority girls looking to blend spiced rum with Diet Coke; in the 17th century Captain Morgan was a feared privateer.",
"Not only did the Welsh pirate marry Captain Morgan's own cousin, Captain Morgan ran risky missions for the governor of Jamaica, including capturing some Spanish prisoners in Cuba and sacking Port-au-Prince in Haiti.",
"Captain Morgan then plundered the Cuban coast before holding for ransom the entire city of Portobelo, Panama.",
"Captain Morgan later looted and burned Panama City, but Captain Morgan's pillaging career came to an end when Spain and England signed a peace treaty in 1671.",
"Instead of getting in trouble for Captain Morgan's high-seas antics, Captain Morgan received knighthood and became the lieutenant governor of Jamaica.",
"Mental Floss: 5 drinking stories that put yours to shame .",
"Johnnie Walker .",
"Walker, the name behind the world's most popular brand of Scotch whisky, was born in 1805 in Ayrshire, Scotland.",
"When his father died in 1819, Johnnie Walker inherited a trust of a little over 400 pounds, which the trustees invested in a grocery store.",
"Johnnie Walker became a very successful grocer in the town of Kilmarnock and even sold a whisky, Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky.",
"Johnnie Walker's son Alexander was the one who actually turned the family into famous whisky men, though.",
"Johnnie's son Alexander had spent time in Glasgow learning how to blend teas, but Johnnie's son Alexander eventually returned to Kilmarnock to take over the grocery from Johnnie's son Alexander's father.",
"Johnnie's son Alexander turned Johnnie's son Alexander's blending expertise to whisky, and came up with \"Old Highland Whisky,\" which later became Johnnie Walker Black Label.",
"Jack Daniel .",
"Jack Daniel was the descendant of Welsh settlers who came to the United States in the early 19th century.",
"Jack Daniel was born in 1846 or 1850 and was one of 13 children.",
"By 1866 Jack Daniel was distilling whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee.",
"Unfortunately for the distiller, Jack Daniel had a bit of a temper.",
"One morning in 1911 Jack Daniel showed up for work early and couldn't get Jack Daniel's safe open.",
"Jack Daniel flew off the handle and kicked the offending strongbox.",
"The kick was so ferocious that Jack Daniel injured Jack Daniel's toe, which then became infected.",
"The infection soon became the blood poisoning that killed the whiskey mogul.",
"Curious about why your bottle of J.D. also has Lem Motlow listed as the distillery's proprietor?",
"Jack Daniel's own busy life of distilling and safe-kicking kept Jack Daniel from ever finding a wife and siring an heir, so in 1907 Jack Daniel gave the distillery to Jack Daniel's beloved nephew Lem Motlow, who had come to work for Jack Daniel as a bookkeeper.",
"Mental Floss: The many myths of Jack Daniel .",
"Jose Cuervo .",
"In 1758, Jose Cuervo received a land grant from the King of Spain to start an agave farm in the Jalisco region of Mexico.",
"Jose Cuervo used Jose Cuervo's agave plants to make mescal, a popular Mexican liquor.",
"In 1795, King Carlos IV gave a land grant to Jose Cuervo's descendant Jose Maria Guadalupe de Cuervo.",
"King Carlos IV also granted the Cuervo family the first license to commercially make tequila, so the Cuervo family built a larger factory on the existing land.",
"the Cuervo family started packaging the Cuervo family's wares in individual bottles in 1880, and in 1900 the booze started going by the brand name Jose Cuervo.",
"the brand name Jose Cuervo is still under the leadership of the original Jose Cuervo's family; current boss Juan-Domingo Beckmann is the sixth generation of Cuervo ancestors to run the company.",
"5. Jim Beam .",
"Jim Beam, the namesake of the world's best-selling bourbon whiskey, didn't actually start the distillery that now bears Jim Beam's name.",
"Jim Beam's great-grandfather Jacob Beam opened the distillery in 1788 and started selling His great-grandfather Jacob Beam's first barrels of whiskey in 1795.",
"In those days, the whiskey went by the less-catchy moniker of \"Old Tub.\"",
"His great-grandfather Jacob Beam handed down the distillery to His great-grandfather Jacob Beam's son David Beam, who in turn passed it along to his son David M. Beam, who eventually handed the operation off to his son, Colonel James Beauregard Beam, in 1894.",
"Although Jim Beam was only 30 years old when Jim Beam took over the family business, Jim Beam ran the distillery until Prohibition shut Jim Beam down.",
"Following repeal in 1933, Jim Beam quickly built a distillery and began resurrecting the Old Tub brand, but Jim Beam also added something new to the company's portfolio: a bourbon simply called Jim Beam.",
"Mental Floss: A bourbon FAQ .",
"6. Tanqueray .",
"When he was a young boy, Charles Tanqueray's path through life seemed pretty clear.",
"He was the product of three straight generations of Bedfordshire clergymen, so it must have seemed natural to assume that he would take up the cloth himself.",
"Wrong.",
"Instead, he started distilling gin in 1830 in a little plant in London's Bloomsbury district.",
"By 1847, he was shipping his gin to colonies around the British Empire, where many plantation owners and troops had developed a taste for Tanqueray and tonic.",
"7. Campari .",
"Gaspare Campari found Gaspare Campari's calling quickly.",
"By the time Gaspare Campari was 14, Gaspare Campari had risen to become a master drink mixer in Turin, Italy, and in this capacity Gaspare Campari started dabbling with a recipe for an aperitif.",
"When Gaspare Campari eventually settled on the perfect mixture, Gaspare Campari's concoction had over 60 ingredients.",
"In 1860, Gaspare Campari founded Gruppo Campari to make Gaspare Campari's trademark bitters in Milan.",
"Like Colonel Sanders' spice blend, the recipe for Campari is a closely guarded secret supposedly known by only the acting Gruppo Campari chairman, who works with a tiny group of employees to make the concentrate with which alcohol and water are infused to get Campari.",
"The drink is still made from Gaspare Campari's recipe, though, which includes quinine, orange peel, rhubarb, and countless other flavorings.",

"Editor's note: Bob Greene is a bestselling author whose current book is \"When We Get to Surf City: A Journey Through America in Pursuit of Rock and Roll, Friendship, and Dreams.\"",
"Bob Greene says one dentist in Iowa found an ingenious way of keeping Greene's chair filled with patients.",
"(CNN)",
"-- You may not have the answer for how to thrive in a lousy economy.",
"I may not have the answer for how to thrive in a lousy economy.",
"But the truck stop dentist figured it out a long time ago.",
"\"When your dental practice is in a truck stop, you don't have a lot of patients coming in for their six-month cleanings,\" said Dr. Thomas P. Roemer.",
"\"You have people walking in holding people walking in holding their jaws in pain's jaws in pain.",
"Treatment is not optional -- people walking in holding their jaws in pain need to see a dentist, and people walking in holding their jaws in pain need to see me now.\"",
"Dr. Thomas P. Roemer's one-man dental office is inside the Iowa 80 Truckstop, at Exit 284 of Interstate 80, near the small town of Walcott.",
"The complex proclaims itself to be the world's largest truck stop, and if you've never been there -- well, the truck stop itself is probably a story for another time.",
"Suffice it to say that the establishment is spread over 200 acres, that the truck features the truck's own movie theater, a 300-seat restaurant with a 50-foot salad bar, the Super Truck Showroom (more than 75,000 truck-related items for sale, festooned with enough gleaming chrome to make you reach for your sunglasses).",
"But the topic for today is Dr. Thomas P. Roemer, and how Dr. Thomas P. Roemer ended up offering root canals in a building where people stop for diesel fuel.",
"These desperate economic times highlight the importance of individual inventiveness and ingenuity -- and a dentist has to be beyond ingenious to gaze upon an Iowa truck stop and figure out: A fellow could make A fellow a pretty nice living in there.",
"\"I had a regular dental practice over in Davenport,\" Dr. Roemer, 48, told me.",
"\"I had an advertisement in the Yellow Pages.",
"And in the early 1990s I noticed that I kept getting calls from truckers who were in a phone booth out by the Iowa 80 Truckstop.",
"They had stopped for fuel, and they were in a lot of pain, and they absolutely had to see a dentist.\"",
"Now...",
"Walcott, the town adjacent to the truck stop, has only 1,500 residents.",
"But the truck stop itself caters to an estimated 5,000 customers a day, most of them long-haul truckers passing through.",
"The light bulb above Dr. Thomas P. Roemer's head snapped on.",
"\"I made arrangements with the truck stop to open up an office,\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"\"At first I split my practice between my old office in Davenport and the truck stop office.",
"But I ended up closing the old one.",
"My entire practice is in the truck stop now.\"",
"Business is good, Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said, even during the recession.",
"There have been stories from around the country about doctors and dentists seeing fewer patients, because people just don't have the money to come in for regular checkups.",
"But a truck stop dental office is not a place where patients come because patients have planned it -- a truck stop dental office is a place where patients come because patients need immediate relief.",
"\"The sentence I hear the most often is, 'Do you pull teeth?'\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"\"Someone will come in with Someone's hand to Someone's face, and Someone'll want to have a tooth extracted.",
"Someone will have heard that I'm here.\"",
"But how do truckers learn about Dr. Thomas P. Roemer's practice?",
"\"Word of mouth,\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"(So to speak.)",
"The business model of most dental offices, Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said, is based on teeth-cleaning: A dentist builds up his or her list of loyal patients and their families who come in to get their teeth cleaned, and when they need fillings or crowns, the office is there for them.",
"The truck stop dentist, by necessity, turns that business model inside out.",
"\"I usually see a patient once, and then never see him again,\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"\"Truckers aren't going to say to Dr. Thomas P. Roemer, 'I'll be back for a cleaning on September 23 at 2 in the afternoon.'",
"Truckers can't plan where Truckers're going to be.",
"I make patient files for the people who come in, but I know that I'll probably never have a reason to open the files after they walk out the door.",
"These are mostly one-time patients.\"",
"Dr. Thomas P. Roemer doesn't have the luxury of knowing, at the beginning of a day, how many patients Dr. Thomas P. Roemer will see -- or even if Dr. Thomas P. Roemer will see any.",
"\"It can range from zero patients in a day to 15,\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"\"It's unusual for a patient to call in advance.",
"I'll know I have a patient when the door opens and a trucker walks in, with that look on his face.\"",
"Dr. Thomas P. Roemer's success, Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said, is based on two factors: the steady flow of those 35,000 people who pull in to the truck stop every week, and the actuarial certainty that some of those 35,000 people who pull in to the truck will be truckers with a mouthful of hurt.",
"\"I had a guy who came in yesterday who told me he was in such pain that he had tried to pull his own tooth,\" Dr. Thomas P. Roemer said.",
"\"I told him there was no need for that.",
"I told him that I could help him.\"",
"It does get a little lonely out at Exit 284, not being able to build up a continuing relationship with his patients, the way most dentists do.",
"Sometimes, as a patient is getting up from the chair to leave, Dr. Thomas P. Roemer will find Dr. Thomas P. Roemer saying: . \"Make sure you try to get your dispatcher to send you back this way.\"",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene."

"The Federal Aviation Administration released a recording of the pilot calmly telling an air traffic controller the plane would ditch on Thursday, a day after the National Transportation Safety Board said both the plane's engines contained the remains of birds.",
"Larry King:",
"Carl Bazarian, what goes through Carl Bazarian when you hear the recording, especially the calmness?",
"Carl Bazarian, survivor:",
"You know, to Carl Bazarian -- my son played it for Carl Bazarian this morning.",
"I found it incredibly stressful and sobering that we were so close to death.",
"And that's the bad side.",
"And I'm really not keen on hearing it too many more times.",
"But on the other side, it's exhilarating.",

"Vince, what goes through your mind?",
"Vince Spera, survivor: Larry, the entire conversation that you hear going back and forth is just indicative of how the entire cabin was.",

"Brad Wentzell, survivor: It's an amazing thing to hear, not only from our perspective, when we were basically going for a ride, but to hear from the man who -- just him and the Good Lord had our lives in his hand.",

"Bazarian:",
"First thing, the captain's very honest about it.",
"But I don't know how -- we all had disbelief.",

"Not panicky, I think Vince is right.",
"We were kind of cool, but concerned, overly concerned.",
"How did the captain regain the captain and do what the captain did?",
"I don't know how the captain did it.",
"King:",
"Vince, were there a lot of moments, Vince, when you thought you bought it?",
"Spera:",
"Actually, no.",
"There was never a point in time when I thought I was going to die.",
"Obviously, I think the way the people in the cabin behaved contributed to my feeling that way.",
"It was just a lot of control.",
"We felt like the pilot was in control.",
"Obviously, it all worked out.",

"King:",
"Alberto, how about when it hit the water?",
"Did you think you were going to go under?",
"Panero:",
"No.",
"I think as soon as we hit the water, we realized that the worst was over and the most important thing was to get out as soon as possible, making sure that the doors got open quickly and that everybody stayed calm and tried to exit as calmly as possible, because at first people were trying to get out quick and trying to push a little bit.",
"But I think everybody realized that the more organized that we did it, the faster we would get out.",

"It's a very real feeling.",
"I wasn't as optimistic.",
"No one ever knows when they're going to die.",
"I felt that was my time.",
"Apparently, the Good Lord still has a few things for me to do on this Earth.",
"King:",
"Carl, you're looking out the window here, I guess.",
"Bazarian: Yes, I was.",
"King:",
"What are you thinking?",
"Bazarian:",
"The first reality when we hit, I thought, initially, the landing was so good I thought we were back on the tarmac.",
"That was my immediate reaction.",
"But then the water -- immediately, we saw the water out the window.",
"Again, like Vince said, when we saw that daylight of the door opening, it wasn't a herd of people trying to rush out.",
"It was pretty good composure.",
"I guess Vince is right.",
"We picked up on the courage of the crew and the flight attendants.",
"King:",
"Vince, there was one passenger who thought he landed.",
"Spera:",
"Yes.",
"I heard several stories about reactions of different people.",
"Honestly, most of the people knew exactly what was going on and the people really just wanted to get out and get to safety.",
"But I did hear somebody attempting to pick up their bag and do some other things like that.",
"Fortunately, most of the people were on the right side of the plane.",
"I got to get out the left.",
"King:",
"Alberto, have you flown since?",
"Panero:",
"Actually, I have.",
"The next day I took a plane home.",
"I figured that was going to be the easiest way to just get over any kind of possible trauma, just get back on the plane.",
"And I just kept focused on seeing my family and friends and that got me through the flight pretty well.",
"And also the lady that was sitting next to me was very nice and just happened to make friendly conversation.",
"So it worked out pretty good.",
"Panero:",
"Brad, have you met the captain?",
"Wentzell:",
"I did meet the captain.",
"That was very real thing.",
"the captain's just as cool and calm in person as you would expect, for someone who was able to do, from what I believe, no one else on the planet could do.",
"the captain was very humble.",

"(CNN) -- Jury selection was under way Thursday in the case of a man accused of sexually assaulting a toddler and capturing it on videotape years ago, a crime that triggered a nationwide manhunt and search for girl when Tape surfaced in 2007.",
"Chester Arthur Stiles faces life imprisonment if convicted of videtaping a sexual assault on a child.",
"Chester Arthur Stiles, 38, faces 22 felony counts in connection with the videotape, including lewdness with a child, sexual assault with a minor and attempted sexual assault with a minor.",
"If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.",
"Thursday is the third day of jury selection, said Michael Sommermeyer, spokesman for Clark County, Nevada, courts.",
"Some 200 potential jurors were called, according to CNN affiliate KVBC.",
"As of Thursday morning, only seven jurors had passed on to the next stage of selection, Michael Sommermeyer, spokesman for Clark County, Nevada, courts said.",
"Prosecutors hope to seat 15 jurors eventually, Michael Sommermeyer, spokesman for Clark County, Nevada, courts told CNN, meaning Prosecutors'll want a pool of about 35 to pick from in the final stage.",

"David Goldman says David Goldman can't understand why David Goldman can't have custody of David Goldman's son following his ex-wife's death in Brazil.",
"The U.S. government agrees.",
"David Goldman is fighting for custody of David Goldman's son after Bruna Bianchi Goldman died during another childbirth.",
"David Goldman told CNN's Larry King David Goldman had no idea when David Goldman dropped off David and Sean Goldman's wife and 4-year-old son at Newark International Airport in 2004 for a two-week vacation to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that David Goldman was about to become embroiled in an international custody battle.",
"Shortly after Bruna Bianchi Goldman arrived in Bruna Bianchi Goldman's homeland Bruna Bianchi Goldman called to say Bruna Bianchi Goldman wanted a divorce, which Bruna Bianchi Goldman obtained in Brazil, and would stay there with their son, Sean.",
"an international custody battle has taken many twists and turns and has gained the attention of the Department of State and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.",
"\"A child belongs with A child's family, and there is no reason why David Goldman should not get David Goldman's child back,\" Clinton said in a recent interview on NBC's Today show.",
"\"And we're hoping that that will be resolved very soon.",
"Obviously, if not, we will continue to raise it with the Brazilian government.\"",
"For nearly five years, David Goldman has fought to regain custody of David Goldman's son.",
"It's a case that has been complicated by Bruna Bianchi Goldman remarrying, getting pregnant and dying during childbirth last summer.",
"Sean Goldman is said to be living with Sean Goldman's stepfather, who has been granted provisional guardianship.",
"\"I went down ... to bring Sean Goldman home,\" David Goldman said on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday, figuring his ex-wife's death had made the custody issue a moot point, and \"we find out that this man doesn't file custody, but this man files to remove my name from a Brazilian birth certificate that they had issued for my son, who was born in Red Bank, New Jersey.\"",
"David Goldman continues to press David Goldman's case through the Brazilian government.",
"\"The Department of State is working diligently to ensure that David and Sean Goldman are accorded David and Sean Goldman's rights under the Hague Convention of 1980 on the civil right aspect of International Child Abduction,\" The Department of State said in a statement.",
"\"We'll continue to insist that the Brazilian government fulfill the Brazilian government's obligations under the treaty and international law.\"",
"The convention, to which Brazil is a signatory, \"is a multilateral treaty, which seeks to protect children from the harmful effects of abduction and retention across international boundaries by providing a procedure to bring about children's prompt return,\" according to the Hauge Convention Web site.",
"Brazilian courts have refused to return Sean Goldman to the United States for any custody hearings that New Jersey courts have ordered and the Brazilian government has not intervened.",
"As a result, the case remains a stalemate.",
"\"I would tell David Goldman that David Goldman's been very brave, as David Goldman has fought to have David Goldman's son returned to David Goldman,\" Clinton said in the NBC interview.",
"\"David Goldman's son is the most precious person in the world to David Goldman and David Goldman has gone not just the extra mile, but mile after mile, back and forth, trying to make it clear that David Goldman's son Sean deserves to be returned to David Goldman.\"",
"But on Larry King Live, Helvecio Ribeiro, a Bianchi family spokesman, questioned David Goldman's fitness as a parent.",
"\"I don't question the biological right,\" he said.",
"\"The fact of the matter is that in order to be a parent, you have to be more than just a DNA donor, Mr. King.",
"Fatherhood is not about making home movies and taking pictures, it's about sacrifice.",
"It's about providing support to your child.",
"It's about being there even when you're not there.",
"\"And David Goldman, while Bruna was still alive, failed to do so,\" Ribeiro said.",
"David Goldman visited David Goldman's son for the first time in more than four years last month -- a bittersweet experience that was heartbreaking when it was time to return to the United States.",
"\"He asked me why I haven't come to see Sean Goldman in all this time,\" David Goldman told Larry King, \"and that was very, very painful -- and the anguish on Sean Goldman's face when Sean Goldman asked me that question.",
"I didn't want to tell Sean Goldman that ... they're holding Sean Goldman.\"",
"International custody fights are common and were supposed to be simplified by the 1980 Hauge agreement, but conflicting court systems and conflicting accounts of relationships can trump international law.",
"The next step in this case is uncertain."

"A Texas grand jury indicted Jeffs on sexual assault charges, and five of Jeffs's followers also face a variety of charges, state Attorney General Greg Abbott said.",
"Members of the polygamous FLDS revere jailed leader Warren Jeffs as Members of the polygamous FLDS's prophet.",
"Jeffs was charged in the Tuesday indictment with sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony.",
"A conviction on the charge could mean a maximum penalty of five to 99 years or life in prison and a fine of $10,000, said Dirk Fillpot, a spokesman for the attorney general.",
"Jeffs, 52, is the so-called leader and \"prophet\" of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which broke off from mainstream Mormonism in the 1890s over the practice of polygamy.",
"The FLDS openly practices polygamy at FLDS's Yearning for Zion Ranch outside Eldorado, Texas, and in two towns straddling the Utah-Arizona state line: Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona.",
"Jeffs is accused in the indictment of assaulting a child \"younger than 17 years of age and not legally married to the defendant\" in January 2005.",
"The alleged victim, whose name is redacted on the document, \"was a person who Jeffs was prohibited from marrying or purporting to marry or with whom Jeffs was prohibited from living under the appearance of being married\" under Texas law.",
"The indictments, which were handed down by a grand jury in San Angelo, Texas, also charge four of Jeffs's followers with single counts of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 17.",
"One of the four also faces a count of bigamy.",
"A fifth follower is charged with three counts of failure to report child abuse.",
"The Texas attorney general's office was cooperating with other agencies to ensure the five others would be taken into custody, Fillpot said.",
"Their names have not been made public, and only Jeffs' indictment has been released.",
"Jeffs has been in custody since August 2006, when Jeffs was arrested during a routine traffic stop after spending several months on the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives list.",
"Jeffs is serving two consecutive sentences of five years to life in prison on accomplice to rape charges in Utah for Jeffs's role in the marriage of a sect member to his 14-year-old cousin.",
"Jeffs is being held Arizona while Jeffs awaits trial on similar charges.",
"It was not immediately clear when Jeffs would be brought to Texas.",
"Authorities seized more than 400 children in April during a raid on the Texas ranch.",
"more than 400 children were returned to more than 400 children's families after the Texas Supreme Court ruled Texas had no right to remove more than 400 children and lacked evidence to show more than 400 children faced imminent danger of abuse.",
"In May, DNA samples were taken from Jeffs as part of a criminal investigation into allegations that he \"spiritually\" married four girls ranging in age from 12 to 15, authorities said.",
"A search warrant seeking DNA samples said marital records -- known as bishop's records -- from the ranch show that Jeffs married a 14-year-old girl on January 18, 2004, in Utah.",
"marital records -- known as bishop's records -- from the ranch showed that Jeffs \"married\" two 12-year-olds and a 14-year-old at the Texas ranch, according to the search warrant.",
"One of the 12-year-olds, believed to have married Jeffs on July 27, 2006, was sexually assaulted by Jeffs later that day, the search warrant said.",
"the search warrant made reference to pictures of Jeffs with Jeffs's alleged underage brides.",
"In one photograph, the warrant states, Jeffs is kissing one of the 12-year-olds.",
"In another, Jeffs is shown with a 15-year-old wife at the birth of their child in October 2004.",
"Authorities had said DNA samples would determine whether Jeffs is the father of the children born to underage mothers.",
"FLDS spokesman Rod Parker, who is vacationing in Colorado this week, had no immediate comment on the indictment Tuesday.",
"\"As far as an indictment of Jeffs, I'd want to know a little more before I start talking about it,\" he said.",
"On Thursday, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is planning to hold a hearing on polygamy and the need for a \"coordinated state and federal response,\" according to an agenda.",

"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) --",
"You are about to meet Mr. Brown.",
"David Mann and Tamela Mann -- a real-life couple -- star in \"Meet the Browns\" as father and daughter.",
"David Mann's David Mann, star of the TBS sitcom \"Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns.\"",
"To borrow a phrase from the network's marketing -- David Mann's very funny.",
"David Mann's character -- \"Downtown\" Leroy Brown -- is a lovable, sometimes outrageous and always off-the-wall senior citizen who has stolen every scene he's entered in Tyler Perry's plays, movies and TV shows.",
"Mr. Brown no longer has to steal scenes, because TBS -- owned by CNN parent company Time Warner -- has ordered 80 episodes of half-hour comedy, based on the success of 10 pilot episodes.",
"\"Just in case I'm dreaming, don't pinch me,\" said David Mann.",
"\"I'm living the dream.\"",
"\"Meet the Browns\" is a spinoff of Tyler Perry's \"House of Payne,\" a sitcom that has yielded strong cable ratings for TBS, and it employs some of the same characters seen in Tyler Perry's movies and stage plays -- including a play and film named \"Meet the Browns,\" which is only mildly related to the TV series.",
"\"Meet the Browns focuses on Mr. Brown and his daughter Cora, played by David Mann's real-life wife, Tamela Mann, as Mr. Brown tries to turn Mr. Brown's house into a home for the elderly.",
"Those who have followed Tyler Perry's productions know that Mann was the conceived during a brief fling between Mr. Brown and Madea, Tyler Perry's female alter ego.",
"\"If it hadn't been for Mann, Brown and Madea, Perry's female alter ego probably would have killed each other by now,\" David Mann said.",
"\"Mann is the glue to this whole thing.",
"Mann keeps everybody grounded.\"",
"David Mann said Mr. Brown's speech and mannerisms are from a combination of people.",
"\"Grandfathers, uncles, relatives, you know, different friends you see.\"",
"David Mann said.",
"\"I use to go to a nursing home and just look at people, watch -- 'OK, that's how people're doing this.' \"",
"David Mann's biggest laughs come from David Mann's use -- or abuse -- of the English language which David Mann refers to as \"Mr. Brownisms.\"",
"Manipulate becomes \"manipudip,\" while hypnotize transforms to \"hepatitis.\"",
"\"You hear them as I spit them out, and it's just like, 'What was I thinking?' \"",
"David Mann said.",
"Mr. Brown's wardrobe, which is always two sizes too small for Mr. Brown's protruding belly, is a bright-colored mix of thrift store specials.",
"\"The clothes just kind of happened,\" he said.",
"\"Because, you know, you have that uncle or that relative in your family who just can't let the clothes go?\"",
"Since Mr. Brown originated on the stage -- in Tyler Perry productions -- David Mann had to adjust to the small screen.",
"\"I'm very animated and so I just had to make sure I toned that down for the screen because I'm so used to making sure that the person in the front row can see as well as the person in the balcony,\" David Mann said.",
"\"To bring that and condense it down for television was a transition for David Mann.\"",
"Camera operators are challenged to keep up with David Mann as David Mann moves around the set, sometimes re-writing the script.",
"\"One word can trigger a whole different thing with us, and that's what I love about working with Tyler Perry,\" David Mann said.",
"\"Tyler Perry gives you the freedom to go in there and create.",
"If you see something that can make it funnier, Tyler Perry gives you the liberty to go ahead and do it, create it and make it funny.\"",
"Tyler Perry directs every episode at Tyler Perry's new Atlanta studio on a sound stage next to where Tyler Perry also tapes \"House of Payne.\"",
"Mr. Brown never seems too far from David Mann.",
"In mid-interview, Mr. Brown emerges.",
"\"Oh, Mr. Brown can come out any time,\" David Mann, speaking as Mr. Brown, said.",
"\"All you got tuh do is say it, and Mr. Brown'll come.",
"Yeap, Mr. Brown is always 'round somewhere.",
"You jes' got tuh belieeeeeve.\"",
"Mr. Brown is played about 30 years older than Mann, which causes some confusion out of costume and in public, David Mann said.",
"\"What's funny is when people see me out people're like, 'Are you Mr. Brown's son?'",
"No, I'm Mr. Brown,\" David Mann said.",
"\"But that's good for the makeup team.\"",
"Perhaps the most awkward time is when David Mann is on the set, dressed as Mr. Brown, and David Mann wants to show David Mann's wife, Tamela Mann, some husbandly affection.",
"\"She is like, 'When you put that makeup on, you are Mr. Brown, you're not my husband.' \" he said.",
"\"So, she doesn't want me kissing on her and stuff.",
"She says 'it's like a dirty old man kissing and hugging on me.' \"",
"You can also see Mr. Brown in \"Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail,\" which hit theaters last month and has been a rousing success at the box office.",
"\"They finally got Madea,\" Mann said.",
"\"She's been to jail a few times, but this time Madea goes to prison -- or as Mr. Brown would say, 'prisnuh.' \""

"\"It became bigger than we thought.",
"\"We couldn't close out checks, and the drinks we made were never served.\"",
"Margaritaville's restaurant reopened Monday afternoon, and Margaritaville's restaurant's adjacent retail store reopened a few hours later, The fire department said.",

"Alex Pascual said Alex Pascual anticipated the historic San Carlos theater would reopen by Thursday, in time for a concert scheduled for that evening.",

"And we worked so hard, it's not fair,\" said La Creperie Cafe owner Yolande Findlay in a story published on the Keynoter newspaper's Web site Monday.",

"JERUSALEM (CNN) --",
"Israeli media are buzzing with reports that Avigdor Lieberman may become Israel's next foreign minister.",
"Avigdor Lieberman is loathed by ultra-orthodox parties because of Avigdor Lieberman's support for a Palestinian state.",
"The appointment of Lieberman, a polarizing figure in Israeli politics, could complicate the stalled peace talks with the Palestinians.",
"It could also further strain relations between Israel and moderate Arab countries.",
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still in the process of forming Israel's next government.",
"Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported this week that it is likely that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will select Avigdor Lieberman as foreign minister.",
"Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted a source close to the negotiations between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party and Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu.",
"Avigdor Lieberman would replace outgoing Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, head of the moderate Kadima party, which secured the most number of parliament seats in last month's election -- but not enough to form a coalition government.",
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been unable to woo moderate parties, including Kadima, into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.",
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be forced to concede some key ministerial posts to Lieberman's party, which would be the second largest faction in the new coalition government behind Likud.",
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to form a broad-based government, but it is unclear how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can keep that promise since Kadima and the moderate Labor Party have indicated that Labor Party plan to form an opposition to a Likud-led government.",
"\"Although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly largely agreed to making Avigdor Lieberman Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's foreign minister, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is thought to still be weighing the potential political damage the appointment of the hawkish politicians would do to the image of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government,\" Haaretz reported.",
"The Jerusalem Post, quoting unnamed diplomatic sources, reported that although Israel's ties with western Europe may suffer if Avigdor Lieberman becomes foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman may help improve the Jewish state's ties with Russia and eastern Europe.",
"Avigdor Lieberman is in a peculiar spot on the Israeli political spectrum Avigdor Lieberman is routinely categorized as a right-wing hawk.",
"But as a secularist who supports an independent Palestinian state, Avigdor Lieberman is loathed by Israel's ultra-orthodox parties, including Shas, which holds 11 seats in the Knesset and is another potential member of Netanyahu's coalition.",
"It is unclear how moderate Arab countries, who are still outraged over Israel's recent military operation in Gaza, would react to Avigdor Lieberman.",
"Egypt, one of only four Muslim countries that have full diplomatic ties with Israel, has been trying to negotiate a broader cease-fire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas leadership.",
"It is unclear whether those indirect negotiations would continue under the new Israeli government.",
"Avigdor Lieberman has said Avigdor Lieberman is unwilling to directly or indirectly negotiate with Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization by Israel for the Jewish state's refusal to recognize Israel and renounce violence against Israel.",
"Avigdor Lieberman does support \"the creation of a viable Palestinian state,\" which is the bedrock of U.S. policy in the region.",
"Avigdor Lieberman restated that support in a Jewish Week article, written shortly after last month's election.",
"That puts Avigdor Lieberman at odds with Netanyahu, who does not support a two-state solution.",
"However, Avigdor Lieberman's support of a Palestinian state comes at a high price.",
"Avigdor Lieberman has stated that Avigdor Lieberman would oppose any peace agreement that would divide Jerusalem as a shared capital between Israel and a Palestinian state.",
"Lieberman, who migrated from the former Soviet Union to Israel in 1978, has also called for Israel's boundaries to be redrawn to exclude much of Israel's Arab minority, a move that would strip them of their citizenship.",
"Palestinians with Israeli citizenship make up about 20 percent of the Jewish state's population.",
"Avigdor Lieberman frequently clashes with Arab members of the Knesset and has called for Arab members of the Knesset to be tried and executed for meeting with leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas.",
"Avigdor Lieberman wants all the Knesset members, both Arabs and Jews, to prove their loyalty by swearing allegiance to the Israeli flag and national anthem.",
"Arab Knesset member Ahmed Tibi has warned that Lieberman's rising popularity reflects a dangerous trend.",
"\"We are talking about a pure and obvious fascist phenomena invading the Israeli society,\" Arab Knesset member Ahmed Tibi said.",
"\"During the last years, racism became mainstream in the Israeli society.\"",
"Avigdor Lieberman's supporters credit Avigdor Lieberman with offering clear solutions to Israel's complicated problems.",
"In Avigdor Lieberman's article in Jewish Week, Avigdor Lieberman rejected accusations from Avigdor Lieberman's critics that Avigdor Lieberman's party is racist.",
"\"I stand at the head of the most diverse political party in the Knesset,\" Avigdor Lieberman wrote, noting that Avigdor Lieberman's party's Knesset members have included four women, three people with disabilities, a Jewish convert and a Zionist.",
"\"I find it a bit rich to be called a bigot.\"",
"Avigdor Lieberman said that Avigdor Lieberman \"look[s] forward to working with President Obama\" since \"U.S.-Israel relations are as strong as ever, and that our shared values and interests make our friendship unshakable.\"",
"Yossi Klein Halevy of the Adelson Institute of Strategic Studies said Avigdor Lieberman is tapping into the dark side of Israelis' concerns about security, particularly as militants in Gaza continue to routinely fire rockets on southern Israel .",
"\"Avigdor Lieberman is riding an ugly wave of resentment among many Jewish Israelis toward the Arab-Israeli minority,\" he said.",
"Ynetnews.com political correspondent Attila Somfalvi recently wrote that Avigdor Lieberman has become \"the leader of those who lost any hope or faith in the possibility of securing peace or engaging in talks with the Arabs.\"",
"\"The war in Gaza indeed restored the public's sense of security and lowered the anxiety level, yet Avigdor Lieberman is perceived as the man who will know how to do what needs to be done so that no more missiles land around here,\" she wrote."

"This spring break, thousands of college students will ditch the bars and the beaches to do something more meaningful with thousands of college students's vacation time.",
"Brad Vonck (bottom, left) and other student volunteers worked with the Cherokee Nation in Stilwell, Oklahoma.",
"Brad Vonck is one of Brad Vonck (bottom, left) and other student volunteers.",
"A sophomore at the University of Illinois, Brad Vonck will travel to San Juan, Texas, in a group of 13 students to volunteer with La Union del Pueblo Entero, an organization that helps strengthen the communities and lives of farm workers and their families.",
"\"Learning about different cultures is very important to me,\" Brad Vonck said.",
"\"I like to engage in different areas of life that I don't really understand.\"",
"Every year, more and more college students, like Brad Vonck, are choosing to spend more and more college students's valuable time off from school participating in \"alternative spring break\" programs -- community service-based opportunities dealing with the most pressing issues of the day, including hunger and homelessness, disaster relief and global warming.",
"\"If you can name a social issue, then students are doing trips around a social issue,\" said Jill Piacitelli, executive director of Break Away, an organization that trains and helps colleges across the United States promote alternative break programs.",
"For the past six years, these programs have been growing in popularity among college students.",
"Break Away estimated that this year, nearly 65,000 students will participate in Break Away's alternative break programs, an 11 percent increase from 2008.",
"\"It's a student-led social movement.",
"This is a group that very much wants to be involved in the world around them,\" Piacitelli said of the volunteers.",
"\"They're solution-oriented.",
"They want to innovate and lead and involve their peers.\"",
"The average domestic trip costs around $250 or $300, Piacitelli said, which includes \"housing, travel, social activities, food and often a donation to the community.\"",
"Many university programs offer financial aid and the option to raise money to help pay for trips.",
"\"It is rare that anyone who wants to go on a trip cannot go,\" Piacitelli said.",
"The affordability is part of the reason why so many students return for second or third trips.",
"Nikunj Shah, a graduate of Arcadia University, has taken several alternative spring break trips volunteering in the United States and Mexico.",
"this year, he will be traveling as an alumnus to Jean Lafitte, Louisiana, a city that has been largely ignored by disaster relief efforts in the wake of hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita.",
"\"I've always had an interest in helping people.",
"I've always been really involved in community service,\" Shah said.",
"\"So I saw this as an opportunity to go places I haven't been before, to get a feel for different cultures and to help people there that truly need help.\"",
"In an effort to expand their alternative spring break options, universities across the United States partner with humanitarian organizations like the United Way of America.",
"Randy Punley, director of corporate and media partnerships at the United Way, oversees the organization's Alternative Spring Break programs.",
"After Hurricane Katrina, the organization partnered with MTV to engage young people in the response effort.",
"\"the organization knew there was an interest and a passion in young people for the work the organization were trying to achieve,\" Punley said.",
"Since then, the organization has evolved and expanded, establishing chapters on college campuses.",
"the organization has also developed an Alternative Spring Break Social Media Challenge, encouraging young people to be active in young people's communities and use social media Web sites, like Facebook or Twitter, to involve other people.",
"\"Whether it started with the first Gulf War, punctuated by the September 11 attacks and Katrina and the economic meltdown, young people have a very different perspective about what's going on in the world,\" Punley said.",
"At the end of the weeklong trip, most students say it was the best week of most students's lives, Punley said.",
"The increasing interest in these programs, Punley believes, speaks volumes about the attitudes of Generation Y, a group of people who are eager to make an impact on the world around them.",
"\"It's such a difference from going home and not really feeling accomplished to going on these trips and meeting new people,\" Vonck said.",
"\"You get experiences that you wouldn't get sitting on the couch watching TV for a week.\"",
"Piacitelli said these programs encourage young people to continue serving young people's communities and those in need.",
"\"The students are the main benefactors of what goes on,\" Piacitelli said.",
"\"It changes The students's consciousness.",
"The students get really interested in social issues ...",
"The students see The students as active citizens, and helping the community becomes a priority.\"",
"Like Vonck and Shah, University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo has a passion for community service.",
"During University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo's spring break last year, University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo traveled to the Bronx in New York to volunteer at a homeless shelter.",
"University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo stayed at a hostel with other volunteers and helped serve food and organize clothing drives.",
"\"I never really had all that money to go off and do the whole Cancun, Mexico, spring break, and I didn't really want to, because I think that's throwing away money,\" University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo said.",
"\"When you can give back, it's selfish.\"",
"The trip to the Bronx in New York was a personal one for University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo who, at the age of 6, experienced poverty firsthand when University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo's family became homeless.",
"\"My family's better now, and I want to give back,\" University of Illinois senior Adriana Collazo said.",

"Of Roughly 31,000 U.S. troops, 20,000 will comprise four ground/maneuvering brigades, said Col. Gregory Julian, spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan.",

"GOLDEN, Colorado (CNN) --",
"Sometimes the best way to roll with the punches is to roll the dice.",
"Jerry Goldsmith was one of hundreds of people who turned out this week to apply for a casino job.",
"That's Jerry Goldsmith's attitude.",
"The Colorado man lost Jerry Goldsmith's engineering job of 29 years -- and the six-figure salary that went with it -- and is now applying for a casino job dealing craps, blackjack, roulette and poker.",
"\"I was angry.",
"I think everyone gets angry,\" says Jerry Goldsmith, 60, recalling Jerry Goldsmith's New Year's Day firing.",
"\"It's 'Why me?'",
"But after a while I just learned: One door closed, but many more just opened.",
"\"I just need to find the right one to go into.\"",
"Jerry Goldsmith was one of 750 people who showed up Wednesday to apply for casino dealer jobs near Denver.",
"Another 550 applied on Thursday.",
"The applicants were going after 90 spots in dealer school.",
"Earlier on Wednesday, Jerry Goldsmith had interviewed for a job as a cable TV installer.",
"They were Jerry Goldsmith's first job interviews since losing Jerry Goldsmith's job.",
"Jerry Goldsmith says that, at first, Jerry Goldsmith spent a lot of time on the Internet looking for work.",
"Jerry Goldsmith also contacted executive headhunters but was unable to find any leads in the engineering field.",
"So Jerry Goldsmith decided to expand Jerry Goldsmith's search into other areas.",
"Jerry Goldsmith says Jerry Goldsmith nailed the casino job interview and thinks Jerry Goldsmith would make a great dealer.",
"\"When you've been working hard all your life, quitting is just not an option, so I'll take on any opportunity I can,\" Jerry Goldsmith says, adding with a laugh: \"Hopefully there will be some exchange of gratuity in the business so I make something.\"",
"In a November referendum, Colorado voters approved a measure to expand betting limits at casinos in Colorado from $5 to $100 and to add the games of roulette and craps.",
"The new rules will also allow the casinos to stay open 24 hours a day.",
"the casinos currently close at 2 a.m. and open at 8 a.m.",
"Colorado hopes to benefit from the increased tax dollars, a portion of which will help fund community colleges, but before the first new tax dollar goes into state coffers, the casinos need to staff up.",
"\"Twenty-four-hour gaming adds a whole extra shift every day, seven days a week.",
"You're adding an extra shift in every department of the casino,\" says Jef Bauer, who runs three casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, for Golden Gaming: the Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gates and Golden Gulch.",
"\"We're looking to hire initially about 90 people into our dealer school, which we're offering free to learn how to deal craps, roulette and blackjack.\"",
"Golden Gaming currently employs about 400 people in Black Hawk and anticipates adding another 100 by July 2, when The new rules go into effect.",
"Black Hawk is a former mining town tucked into the Rocky Mountains about 35 miles from Denver.",
"Black Hawk and Black Hawk's next-door neighbor, Central City, became casino towns in the 1990s.",
"For years the towns flourished, but Jef Bauer, who runs three casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, for Golden Gaming: the Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gates and Golden Gulch says times are tough now.",
"\"We have just been through 12 months of declines in gaming revenues and head counts,\" Jef Bauer, who runs three casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, for Golden Gaming: the Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gates and Golden Gulch says, adding that Jef Bauer, who runs three casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, for Golden Gaming: the Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gates and Golden Gulch hopes the increased bet limits, new games and extended hours will bring the gamblers back to the tables.",
"Before the hiring event even started, more than 100 people were lined up, waiting for an interview outside of a bar in Golden, Colorado.",
"The would-be croupiers filed in, filled out applications and were assigned a number.",
"The would-be croupiers were photographed and then sat down for a 3-minute job interview.",
"No experience was necessary for the casino jobs.",
"Applicants who make the grade will attend a casino-run, part-time dealer school for three months, where they will learn the complicated games and qualify for a Colorado gaming license.",
"the casino jobs pay between $40,000 and $80,000 a year, depending on tips.",
"So who would make a good dealer?",
"\"Mainly what we're looking at is personality and an ability to entertain, and intelligence that can be proven in dealer school,\" says Jef Bauer, who runs three casinos in Black Hawk, Colorado, for Golden Gaming: the Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gates and Golden Gulch.",
"\"Most will probably never have dealt cards before.\"",
"That seems like just the ticket to Andrea Pitts, whose only casino experience has been on the other side of the table.",
"\"I'm a high roller,\" she says with a laugh.",
"\"I've never dealt cards before, but I love to play blackjack and I'm pretty good at it.\"",
"Pitts, 41, spent 12 years working in the trucking industry.",
"But the bad economy has taken the bad economy's toll, and now she has been forced to look for any kind of work.",
"Like most of the other casino applicants, she never pictured herself dealing cards.",
"But she says she is ready for the change of pace.",
"\"You have to keep yourself motivated.",
"It would be easy to sit at home and feel sorry for yourself, but that's not going to get you anywhere,\" she says.",
"\"I'm not afraid to take challenges -- that's what life is all about.\"",
"Casinos are big business.",
"According to the American Gaming Association, some 360,000 people work in 467 commercial casinos across the country, accounting for $13.8 billion in wages including benefits and tips.",
"The industry paid $5.78 billion in gaming taxes in 2007.",
"Alan Meister, an economist and the author of \"Indian Gaming Industry Report,\" says there were 346,000 people directly employed by 423 Indian gaming casinos in 2007.",

"It all sounds good to Craig Taylor.",

"(CNN) --",
"Flying penguins are unusual.",
"Especially when penguins fly on a C-130 Hercules military plane.",
"Almost 400 lost Magellanic penguins march back to the sea after being rescued by animal-welfare groups.",
"In Brazil, the confused birds were rescued, rehabilitated and released last weekend after the confused birds's search for food left the confused birds stranded, hundreds of miles from the confused birds's usual feeding grounds.",
"Animal-welfare activists loaded the confused birds onto a Brazilian air force cargo plane and flew them 1,550 miles to the country's southern coast, where a crowd of onlookers celebrated as the confused birds marched back into the sea.",
"\"We are overjoyed to see the confused birds waddle back to the ocean and have a second chance at life,\" said veterinarian Dr. Valeria Ruoppolo of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the group that oversaw the rescue.",
"See photo gallery of rescued penguins » .",
"Magellanic penguins are warm-weather birds that breed in large colonies in southern Argentina and Chile.",
"The birds then migrate north between March and September, following The birds's favorite fish, the anchovy.",
"The birds are named after Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who first saw The birds in 1519.",
"But changes in currents and water temperature apparently confused the juvenile birds, who strayed too far north to the warm beaches of Salvador, Brazil, 870 miles north of Sao Paulo, Brazil.",
"Watch the penguins march into the sea » .",
"Starting in mid-July, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahía, \"It was just about raining penguins,\" Ruoppolo said.",
"\"There was not much of a food supply.",
"the confused birds were stranded and emaciated.",
"the confused birds had lost all the confused birds's muscles and body condition.\"",
"While occasionally a few birds show up so far north, the unusual sight of hundreds of wayward penguins posed a challenge for animal conservation groups.",
"\"We had to learn how to work with them,\" said Carlos Garcia, a spokesman for IBAMA, the Brazilian Institute for Environment and Renewable Resources.",
"\"Fewer than 20 penguins usually wash ashore, but with such a large number, we had to really understand the confused birds's biology and learn how to treat the confused birds.\"",
"The Instituto Mamíferos Aquáticos (Institute for Aquatic Mammals) also fed and cared for the hungry and disoriented birds.",
"Ruoppolo, who is also the emergency relief officer for IFAW, has a lot of experience saving penguins and other animals injured in oil spills.",
"Last week Ruoppolo worked with conservation groups and volunteers to save as many of the birds as possible.",
"\"We showed them how to stabilize the animals, to feed The birds and give The birds proper care,\" Ruoppolo said.",
"Healthy Magellanic penguins grow to about 27 inches tall and weigh about 9 pounds.",
"Ruoppolo said IBAMA -- the government's environmental authority -- and the Brazilian military were supportive throughout the unusual relocation mission.",
"On Friday, the confused birds were loaded into special crates and put onto the plane for the journey to Pelotas, in southern Brazil.",
"After the confused birds's first-ever flight, the confused birds went on a truck ride to the Center for Recovery of Marine Animals, where the confused birds rested for 24 hours.",
"the confused birds released at Cassino Beach the next day had to meet very specific health criteria, said Ruoppolo.",
"\"the confused birds's feathers had to be waterproof, the confused birds's overall body condition had to be good, the confused birds's lungs healthy, and the confused birds had to be able to catch food,\" Ruoppolo said.",
"the confused birds had some adult supervision for the confused birds's return to the wild.",
"the confused birds were released with a small group of adult penguins that had been nursed back to health after surviving an oil spill.",
"Scientists expect the older birds will help guide the little ones to nearby feeding grounds.",
"Some penguins are still being cared for, both in the north and south of Brazil.",
"the confused birds have bands on the confused birds's flippers so scientists can follow the confused birds's progress and learn more about the confused birds's migratory habits.",
"Of more than 1,600 penguins that washed ashore in northern Brazil, about half are still alive.",
"That is a fairly good outcome, given the fragile status of young birds on young birds's first migration, said Ruoppolo.",
"\"For all species you have animals that die within the first year,\" Ruoppolo said.",
"And without quick human intervention, the consequences would have been much worse.",
"At this point there is no way to know exactly why the animals became stranded.",
"While the Magellanic penguin population is not in jeopardy because of this one event, Ruoppolo said there are other threats, primarily from overfishing.",
"CNN's Paulo Nogueira contributed to this report ."

"Far too many passengers are being stranded on board commercial flights in the United States in delays, an air passengers' rights group said Wednesday.",
"Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Continental Airlines, and US Airways received an overall grade of \"F\" on the air travel consumer report card.",
"FlyersRights.org, in issuing what it calls an air travel consumer report card, said there were more than 1,200 tarmac strandings -- in which passengers are locked in planes on the runways -- in 2008.",
"Delta Air Lines had the greatest number of tarmac delays longer than three hours.",
"Southwest Airlines was rated the best for handling delays by letting customers get off delayed planes, as well as providing food, water and other items.",
"The longest delay the organization found was a January 2008 Delta flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Florida, in which passengers waited on the tarmac for more than 10 hours without food and water.",
"\"Too many Americans have been locked inside sealed airplanes, trapped in tubes on the tarmac, for three hours or more,\" said FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni.",
"\"It's time for Congress to give airline passengers the legal right to get off planes stuck on the ground for three hours or more.\"",
"FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni also said America's economic situation has exacerbated the problems consumers face on the airlines because of layoffs.",
"\"Airlines are trying to maintain or increase Airlines's profit margins,\" FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni said.",
"\"Airlines have decreased all of Airlines's goods and services related to flying.\"",
"FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni added that a timely flight is \"not just a matter of passenger convenience, it's a matter of public safety.\"",
"\"I wonder if heroic Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger and Captain Chesley ''s crew could have performed as heroic Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger and his crew did after seven, nine or even 12 hours on the tarmac?\" FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni asked, making a reference to the US Airways crew that made an emergency landing in New York's Hudson River in January.",
"FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni started FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni's organization after FlyersRights.org Executive Director Kate Hanni was stranded on the tarmac on an American Airlines flight in Austin, Texas, for more than nine hours in December 2006.",
"Mark Mogel, the group's research director, said FlyersRights.org has about 24,000 members, many of whom donate money, services and lobbying help.",
"The report card is based on government statistics, press reports, airline Web site data, reports on the group's hotline, and eyewitness accounts from January to December of 2008.",
"The report card surveyed 17 airlines for various kinds of tarmac delays, 17 airlines's menu and contracts of carriage and customer service commitments and issued grades for these separate factors and an overall grade.",
"As for the menu, Mogel specified that the menu grade is based on quantity, not quality.",
"The survey was looking to see whether there would be food on board during a tarmac delay.",
"Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Continental Airlines, and US Airways received an overall grade of \"F\" and American Airlines received an overall grade of \"D.\"",
"United Airlines, Airtran and American Eagle got a \"C.\"",
"Alaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines got a \"B,\" and Southwest received an \"A.\"",
"Five other airlines -- Atlantic Southeast, Comair, ExpressJet, Mesa and Pinnacle -- didn't get an overall grade because some categories couldn't be completed.",
"\"The fact that some airlines have received A's and B's and others D's and F's on this report card also shows that providing decent customer service and avoidance of strandings is both achievable and should not place an undue burden on the airline industry or lead to higher ticket prices,\" The report card's executive summary said.",
"CNN's Joe Sterling contributed to The report card."

"Unidentified man went over Niagara Falls and survived Wednesday afternoon, one of the few people to ever survive the plunge unprotected, authorities said.",
"It is unclear whether Unidentified man chose not to aid in Unidentified man's rescue or was physically unable to do so, officials say.",
"Unidentified man was seen entering the icy water just above Horseshoe Falls, on Canadian side, and apparently jumped in about 2:15 p.m, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Fire Chief Lee Smith said.",
"Smith said Unidentified man was in the near-freezing water for \"40-plus\" minutes before Unidentified man was rescued by Niagara Parks Police and Niagara Falls firefighter Todd Brunning.",
"Brunning, who was tethered to shore, swam about 60 meters (nearly 200 feet) into near-freezing Niagara River and was able to get hold of Unidentified man and bring Unidentified man to shore.",
"Niagara Parks Police initially used a helicopter from a private company, Niagara Falls Helicopters, to attempt a rescue of Unidentified man.",
"When that failed, Niagara Parks Police used the wind from the chopper's rotors to push Unidentified man closer to shore, Smith said.",
"Watch chopper hover over man in icy water » .",
"Smith said Unidentified man was \"being rotated in a cyclic fashion\" by near-freezing Niagara River's very strong currents.",
"Unidentified man did not aid in Unidentified man's rescue, officials said, though it was not immediately clear whether Unidentified man was physically unable to or Unidentified man did not want to do so.",
"Niagara Falls Fire Capt. Dave Belme said Unidentified man was not wearing any clothes when Unidentified man was rescued, but he added that it's not unexpected for a person to lose things while being washed down the falls.",
"Unidentified man's \"chances of survival without the quick response would be lessened,\" Smith said.",
"All of the agencies train for situations like this, Smith said, and All of the agencies are put to the test about a dozen times a year.",
"Still, Smith called Wednesday's rescue \"amazing.\""

"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"An expert on Lincoln photography thinks a photograph found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family-owned album showing President Abraham Lincoln in front of the White House could be one of the last photos taken of Lincoln before Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.",
"A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album is verified to contain an image of Lincoln.",
"Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's great-great grandson Ulysses S. Grant VI had seen the previously unpublished image in the general's personal photo album, but didn't think much of A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album until Grant scrutinized A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album earlier this year.",
"\"I started to think that A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album might be the White House,\" said Grant, a construction business owner from Springfield, Missouri.",
"\"Then I started to look at the height difference between the people in A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album.\"",
"Thinking that the towering individual commanding the attention of the other people in the image could be Lincoln -- who stood 6-foot-4 and is the nation's tallest president -- Grant called Keya Morgan, a renowned collector and scholar of Lincoln and Gen. Ulysses S. Grant photographs, to see whether Grant's suspicions could be verified.",
"Morgan, who owns the world's largest collection of Lincoln artifacts and original photographs, persuaded Grant to take the small photo out of the general's personal photo album to see whether any clues could be found on the back -- particularly the name of the photographer.",
"\"If you don't know who the photographer is, it's like not knowing who your father and mother are,\" Lincoln said.",
"Sure enough, the seal of photographer Henry F. Warren appeared on the back, along with an inscription: \"Lincoln in front of the White House,\" dated 1865.",
"Grant recognized the handwriting as that of Grant's great-grandfather and Gen. Grant's youngest son, Jesse Grant.",
"Those indicators, along with a revenue stamp used from 1864-66 to raise money during the Civil War, helped convince Morgan that the photograph could be the well-documented missing photo from Lincoln's last \"sitting.\"",
"Watch how photograph was verified » .",
"According to Morgan -- who cites Lincoln's secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay -- photographer Henry F. Warren took the last three photographs of Lincoln on March 6, 1865, just two days after his second inauguration.",
"Lincoln says photographer Henry F. Warren was desperate to take pictures of Lincoln, so he staged the first act of paparazzi photography.",
"According to Lincoln, photographer Henry F. Warren first took photos of the president's son Tad on the president's son Tad's pony.",
"The following day, photographer Henry F. Warren gave the pictures to the president's son Tad and told the president's son Tad to summon the president's son Tad's father.",
"Lincoln says that photographer Henry F. Warren was already set up to take the photo outside the White House, and that Lincoln gave him access afterward to take two more portraits on the White House balcony.",
"Will Stapp, founding curator of the National Portrait Gallery's photography department and a professional photograph appraiser, agrees with Lincoln's assessment of the long-lost image.",
"\"The figure itself, the physique -- in looking at it under a magnifying glass, I can see the shape of his beard; I can see the hairline,\" Will Stapp, founding curator of the National Portrait Gallery's photography department and a professional photograph appraiser told CNN.",
"\"It's similar to the impression you get from other photos taken of [Lincoln] from the same distance, like at the Gettysburg Address and his inauguration.\"",
"Stapp and Lincoln also say it appears that Lincoln is wearing the same clothes in the outdoor photo as Lincoln wore for the portraits taken the same day.",
"As one of only 130 photographs of Lincoln, A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album is an extraordinary find not only because of A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album's proximity to Lincoln's death, but because A photo found in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's family album shows Lincoln in a natural stance.",
"\"You could put yourself in the shoes of the people around [Lincoln] and see what it was like to live at the White House,\" said Morgan, who says Lincoln receives 10 to 20 requests a day asking Lincoln to verify potential Lincoln photographs.",
"Morgan, who purchased the photo from Grant, says Lincoln has received thousands of e-mails from Lincoln aficionados commenting on the find.",
"Lincoln's Web site, lincolnimages.com, received more than 5 million hits on Tuesday and crashed because of the traffic overload."

"Editor's note: A gunman killed 10 people and A gunman Tuesday in southern Alabama.",
"It's the most recent example of mass killing sprees that have traumatized communities over the years.",
"Here's how one city responded.",
"In the worst mass shooting in the U.S. at the time, a gunman killed 23 customers in a Texas cafeteria in 1991.",
"(CNN)",
"-- On October 16, 1991, A gunman drove a pickup truck into Luby's cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, and fatally shot 23 people and wounded more than 20 before killing A gunman.",
"For more than 15 years, Texas had the dubious distinction of being the site of the deadliest mass shooting in the United States -- until a student killed 32 people and a student at Virginia Tech in 2007.",
"\"You can never prepare for an incident like this,\" says Killeen city councilman Fred Latham, who was mayor pro tem of the city, which had a population of about 66,000 at the time of the shooting.",
"But Killeen's experience shows a city can survive the grief, pain and stigma of such an incident.",
"About 80 people were in the cafeteria, many of About 80 people taking their bosses to lunch for National Bosses Day when A gunman arrived.",
"A gunman methodically chose A gunman's victims, most of whom were women, before A gunman was wounded by police and shot A gunman.",
"Latham, who is 60 and a real estate broker, has been on the city council off and on for 16 years.",
"He spoke to CNN.com Wednesday.",
"CNN:",
"What are your memories of that day in October?",
"Fred Latham:",
"It was a tragic day in Texas's history, Many of the people who were killed or injured I personally knew.",
"It was just a big shock that anything like that could ever happen in Texas's community.",
"CNN:",
"Where were you when it happened?",
"Fred Latham:",
"I was with the mayor and the Waco city engineer, looking at potential road improvements and we just happened to be driving near where Luby's was, and we saw some roadblocks being set up and we knew something terrible had happened.",
"There were police cars and barricades and you had the sense that something was wrong.",
"CNN:",
"What are your memories of the days after the shooting?",
"Fred Latham:",
"Texas came together as far as trying to help resolve the issues with the people who were victims or their families who were trying to get through it.",
"There were a lot of human resource agencies that came, American Red Cross, a lot of counselors.",
"It was just overwhelming.",
"I think the phones into Killeen were jammed from people all over the country trying to check on their family members.",
"Luby's was the kind of place that would attract any kind of person.",
"That was Bosses Day that particular day, so you had a lot of extra business there, I'm sure.",
"And many of the people were in our school district.",
"our school district is one of the biggest employers in the region.",
"So when you had administrators or people in that administration office killed, administrators or people in that administration office're going to be known by many, many people.",
"The commanding general at Fort Hood sent in helicopters and all kinds of extra assistance that might be needed.",
"...Fort Hood is the major employer in the area.",
"At that time there were some 42,000 assigned troops there and some soldiers were actually killed.",
"You can never prepare for an incident like this from somebody that just goes off.",
"How they pick a destination you don't know.",
"A gunman drove all the way from Belton, which is about 16 miles to our east.",
"A gunman wasn't a Killeen resident, so how A gunman picked Luby's you don't know.",
"A gunman actually drove through the front window and the people that were in the restaurant thought maybe A gunman had an accident where you try to apply the brakes and hit the gas pedal.",
".... When A gunman came out shooting, the people were kind of trapped.",
"I was proud of our community as to how they handled the situation and overcame all the adversity.",
"Everybody was concerned about the welfare of the families and the people who were victims, Luby's began a fund to help defray some of the expenses and I think people from all over the country sent money.",
"We formed a committee that helped look at how you disburse money.",
"I think that was successful and helped some with the aftermath.",
"CNN:",
"What are the emotions that a community goes through?",
"Fred Latham: Grief, just disbelief that something like this could happen, all the same emotions that you go through with any significant death in a family, I suppose.",
"To have at the time...that this was worst shooting anywhere in the world, it gives a stigma that you don't ever want to have for your city.",
"It's similar to the one that happened at Columbine and at Virginia Tech.",
"Nobody has the answers as to why these things happen and the randomness of the person shooting his victims doesn't make any sense.",
"It's not logical, you can't comprehend it.",
"To see death happen to people, people were just there to have a meal with people's boss and have a celebration of that and no interaction with the person that perpetrated this act.",
"CNN:",
"Were the churches and houses of worship involved in trying to heal the wounds?",
"Fred Latham:",
"Absolutely, the churches throughout Texas came to the aid, performing counseling and having funeral services.",
"There was a lot of compassion, if anything good came out of this, it was the fact that we realized that we all really cared more about each other more than we ever thought.",
"CNN:",
"Has Texas recovered?",
"Fred Latham:",
"It has been resilient.",
"We've been in a dynamic part of central Texas where the economy has been good for many years.",
"[There's] the resiliency and the strength of Fort Hood, which is one of the most efficient training facilities for Fort Hood and Fort Hood has continued to grow.",
"A lot of people have retired here and the cost of living is good.",
"There's affordable housing, the weather is good ... then you've got a work force that's educated and disciplined, and they're fairly young.",
"CNN:",
"You talked about the stigma of having the worst mass killing in the world.",
"Fred Latham:",
"The tendency for the news media, each time an event like this happens, they'll list one, two, three, four, five, where the most killings occurred and you're mentioned in that top five.",
"And that's not something we want to be reminded of.",
"CNN:",
"Some people say the stigma can hurt a town economically, but the stigma doesn't seem to have done so in Killeen.",
"Fred Latham:",
"Texas're a very mobile community.",
"Texas's population turns over at least 30 percent every five years.",
"Maybe two-thirds of our population [now] weren't even here or doesn't even know anything about this.",
"So Texas're different from a longtime community that doesn't turn over like that.",
"CNN:",
"What advice would you have for other mayors or other city council people in towns who experience these kinds of incidents?",
"Fred Latham:",
"Well I would accept help from others.",
"You're not in it by yourself.",
"You'll be surprised at the resiliency that you'll have as a community.",
"Texas will come forward, embrace that.",
"You'll get through it, but you won't ever forget the victims or what has happened to Texas."

"BRASILIA, Brazil (CNN)",
"-- A doctor excommunicated by the Catholic Church for performing an abortion on a 9-year-old rape victim received a standing ovation during a national convention on women's health, according to a local media report.",
"Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho excommunicated the doctors who performed the child's abortion.",
"The response came during the opening ceremony of an event hosted by Brazilian Minister of Health Jose Gomes Temporao.",
"The newspaper O Povo reported that Brazilian Minister of Health Jose Gomes Temporao called on the audience to acknowledge the \"brilliant\" work done by a medical team in the child's abortion, performed in Brazil's northeastern city of Recife.",
"The girl was pregnant with twins after being raped, allegedly by The girl's stepfather, police were quoted in media reports as saying.",
"The abuse had gone on since The girl was 6, authorities said.",
"the child's abortion was performed March 4 during the fourth month of pregnancy, according to media reports .",
"Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho excommunicated the doctor, The girl's mother and the medical team involved in the procedure.",
"However, her stepfather was not excommunicated, with Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho telling Globo TV that, \"A graver act than (rape) is abortion, to eliminate an innocent life.\"",
"The girl was not excommunicated, Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho said, because Catholic Church law says minors are exempt from excommunication.",
"\"The church is benevolent when it comes to minors,\" Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho told Globo TV.",
"\"As for the adults, especially those who approved it, performed the child's abortion, the excommunication is applicable.\"",
"\"God's law is above human laws,\" Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho said.",
"The case has outraged the Brazilian public and fueled a controversy reaching the highest levels of church and state in a nation whose law bans abortion except in cases of rape.",
"Brazilian Minister of Health Jose Gomes Temporao recently said doctors must put law before religion.",
"\"The question posed is very simple.",
"There is a Brazilian law which states that a pregnancy can be interrupted in case of rape,\" Brazilian Minister of Health Jose Gomes Temporao said.",
"\"It is legitimate for The church to have The church's dogmas, but its dogmas must not be imposed on society as a whole,\" Brazilian Minister of Health Jose Gomes Temporao added.",
"Earlier, a verbal spat ensued between President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the archbishop over The church's decision.",
"\"As a Christian and a Catholic, I find it deeply lamentable that a bishop of The church has such a conservative attitude,\" Lula said on Globo TV.",
"\"In this case, the medical profession was more right than The church,\" Lula said.",
"Meanwhile, a Vatican cleric told Italy's La Stampa newspaper that he supports Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho's decision to excommunicate all involved in the abortion except for the child.",
"Dr. Olimpio Moraes, one of the doctors involved in the procedure, said he thanked Archbishop Don Jose Cardoso Sobrinho for his excommunication because the controversy sheds light on Brazil's restrictive abortion laws.",
"He said women in Brazil's countryside are victimized by Brazil's ban on abortion.",
"Some of the doctors vowed to continue attending church services, despite being expelled.",
"\"The fact that I was excommunicated will not keep me from going to Mass, praying, conversing with God, and asking him to illuminate me and my colleagues in our medical team to help us take care of people in similar cases,\" one doctor said.",
"TV Globo reported that the child, who is from a town outside Recife, has stayed in the city to recover and to escape media coverage.",
"Her current condition is not known.",
"A new report by Brazil's IPAS, a non-governmental organization that works with the health ministry, indicates that more than 1 million women undergo illegal abortions in Brazil each year.",
"About 250,000 are treated by doctors for traumas due to botched abortions, said Beatriz Jalli, an IPAS official.",
"Studies at a Brazilian hospital dedicated to treating female victims of violence, the Perola Byington in Sao Paulo, indicated that more than 40 percent of the cases involved children.",
"\"This is why the Recife case is so important for women in Brazil,\" Jalli said.",
"Jalli said the liberated \"Girl from Ipanema\" image that many foreigners have of Brazilian women is far from reality.",
"\"We live in a male chauvinistic, patriarchal society with a very high rate of sexual crimes against women and minors,\" she said.",
"\"Our reproductive rights are constantly criminalized.\"",
"CNN's Helena de Moura contributed to this report."

"Domestic violence is the most common cause of injury to women ages 15 to 44, according to the National Institutes of Health.",

"Abuse can influence a victim's future behavior in relationships and even in friendships, depending on whether the victim stays or leaves, said Mark Crawford, a clinical psychologist based in Roswell, Georgia.",
"Those who stay are likely to stop trusting their own perceptions and become passive in both romantic and nonromantic relationships.",
"Victims who do leave -- which is the healthier choice, Mark Crawford, a clinical psychologist based in Roswell, Georgia said -- often become over-accommodating because Victims who do leave -- which is the healthier choice want to avoid conflict, even verbal disputes, at all costs.",

"It makes sense that abused women would report worse health, given that people in stressful situations have higher levels of stress hormones, which interfere with immune function, Crawford said.",
"Other studies show a clear connection between depression and abuse.",
"Adult women who have been abused in a relationship in the past five years have rates of depression 2½ times greater than women who have never been abused, according to a different study of more than 3,000 women.",
"They are also more likely to be socially isolated, said author Amy Bonomi, associate professor at The Ohio State University.",
"Women who have been abused prior to, but not during, the past five years had depression rates 1½ times greater than those without abuse experience, said Bonomi, who has collaborated with Dimer on research on abused women.",
"\"People like to sort of think that, 'Well, abuse is just when you have a black eye, you sustain a broken bone,' \" Bonomi said.",
"\"But we see lots of different effects in other areas, like depression and social isolation, and we've actually proven that with the data.\"",
"Women who have suffered violence also seem to have a greater likelihood of substance abuse, but it's unclear how the two are related -- one doesn't necessarily cause the other, and there could be other factors involved, Bonomi said.",
"A 2008 study of 3,333 women, which Bonomi worked on, found that middle-aged women who suffered child abuse, sexual or other physical abuse, had a greater likelihood of depression, as well as a higher body mass index.",
"These women also spend up to one-third more than average on health care costs.",
"About 34 percent of women in the sample said About 34 percent of women in the sample had been abused.",
"While Paranjape's study found that women with the highest levels of abuse reported having poor health, the same number of diseases were reported among those women as the women in the sample who had less or no abuse.",
"This indicates that there is something else that makes abused women report feeling unwell, she said.",
"\"When your patient says your patient don't feel so good, you might want to think about asking what other issues may be going on,\" she said.",
"People who have gotten out of a relationship should go through the work of learning what issues set People who have gotten out of a relationship up in that situation, and reflect on the warning signs, Crawford said.",
"Experts recommend finding a counselor and other means of support, but people who have been abused should think twice about revealing too much in online support groups, because people who have been abused's abusers could discover what people who have been abused're saying, Dr. Jane Dimer said.",
"Research has also shown that violence escalates in abusive relationships among couples who go to marriage counseling, Dr. Jane Dimer said.",
"Some women do feel stronger having been through the experience of abuse, Dr. Jane Dimer said.",
"Dr. Jane Dimer found healing through advocacy and research on the subject, Dr. Jane Dimer said.",
"Calling a domestic violence hot line is a good first step for anyone who is experiencing abuse, Dr. Jane Dimer said.",
"\"Whether you're a pop star or somebody that's working front lines -- an employee at a grocery store selling the pop star magazine -- you're at equal risk for having this,\" Dr. Jane Dimer said."

"A Doctors without Borders medic helps a sick child in a Darfur refugee camp.",
"Humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), says MSF was preparing to vaccinate around 100,000 people in southern and western Darfur against Meningitis, when MSF was told to leave Darfur.",
"\"We were in the process of organizing a vaccination campaign.",
"At the moment there's no one there that can take over those activities, which is really worrying,\" Gemma Davies of MSF told CNN.",

"\"Living in such close proximity, the potential for a meningitis outbreak to spread quickly is quite high, Davies, MSF project coordinator for southern Darfur, told CNN.",

"So far MSF has confirmed 32 meningitis cases and four deaths, and has seen dozens of other suspected cases.",
"Thousands of unvaccinated refugees and villagers are now exposed to the airborne disease in densely populated camps and villages throughout Sudan.",

"South Koreans have protested regularly since April when the government of President Lee Myung-bak announced the government of President Lee Myung-bak would resume importing beef from the United States after a five-year ban.",
"a five-year ban was instituted over a case of mad cow disease in the United States in 2003.",
"The widespread public protests essentially paralyzed the government of President Lee Myung-bak, who replaced seven top aides this month and plans to reshuffle his Cabinet.",
"Tens of thousands of auto workers in South Korea went on strike Wednesday to oppose the government of President Lee Myung-bak's lifting of a five-year ban.",

"South Korea's new pro-U.S. president agreed to lift a five-year ban in April before a summit with U.S. President George W. Bush.",

"The government has vowed to get tough with the rallies.",
"In Washington, the White House announced that U.S. President George W. Bush would visit South Korea on August 5-6 before heading to the Beijing Olympics.",

"LONDON, England (CNN)",
"-- painting painted 400 years ago and kept anonymously in an Irish home for much of the time since is now believed to be the only painting of William Shakespeare created during William Shakespeare's lifetime.",
"The portrait of William Shakespeare is thought to be the \"only\" portrait painted during William Shakespeare's lifetime.",
"The image reveals a wealthy Shakespeare of high social status, contradicting the popular view of a struggling playwright of humble status, according to Stanley Wells, a professor who chairs LONDON's Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.",
"Wells, a distinguished William Shakespeare scholar, arranged for three years of research and scientific testing which confirmed it was painted around 1610, when William Shakespeare would have been 46 years old.",
"\"A rather young looking 46, it has to be said,\" Wells said.",
"William Shakespeare died in 1616.",
"painting shows William Shakespeare with rosy cheeks, a full head of hair, and a reddish brown beard.",
"The most common portrait of William Shakespeare is a gray image showing a bald Bard with a small mustache and beard, and bags under his eyes.",
"The identity of the man in the portrait was lost over the centuries -- until Alec Cobbe saw a portrait from Washington's Folger Shakespeare Library.",
"That painting, which fell into disfavor as a William Shakespeare portrait about 70 years ago, turned out to be one of four copies of Cobbe's portrait.",
"The portrait \"shows a man wearing expensive costuming, including a very beautifully painted ruff of Italian lacework which would have been very expensive,\" Wells said.",
"\"It establishes, for me, that William Shakespeare in William Shakespeare's later years was a rather wealthy, a rather well affluent member of aristocratic circles in the society of William Shakespeare's time,\" Wells said.",
"\"There's been too much of a tendency to believe that Shakespeare, being the son of a glover, coming for a small town in the middle of England, that William Shakespeare necessarily retained a rather humble status throughout William Shakespeare's life.\"",
"Wells reads even more into what Wells sees in William Shakespeare's newly-found face.",
"\"I think it's plausible as a portrait as a good listener, of somebody who would have been capable of writing the plays, clearly the face of a man of high intelligence,\" Wells said.",
"\"It's the face of a man, I think, who betrays a good deal of wisdom in his features.",
"But, of course, as somebody (King Duncan) says in William Shakespeare's story Macbeth, 'there's no art to find the mind's construction in the face.'\"",
"It should be noted that William Shakespeare's King Duncan paid a price for judging Macbeth to have the face of an honorable man.",
"Macbeth later murdered the king.",
"The public can read William Shakespeare's face from the original painting at Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon where it goes on display for several months starting April 23.",
"painting then returns to the Cobbe family, which inherited painting when an ancestor married England's Earl of Southampton -- a friend of Shakespeare who likely commissioned painting's painting."

"The committee also found that NASA \"engaged in an abuse of authority\" through his \"habitual use of profanity,\" and recommended disciplinary action \"up to and including removal,\" Gordon and Miller wrote.",
"NASA defended NASA at a 2007 congressional hearing, arguing that NASA had upheld NASA's oath of office.",
"\"At NASA, I have taken the responsibilities of office under the Inspector General Act seriously and without compromise to root out and prevent fraud, waste and abuse, and to promote the economy and efficiency of the agency,\" NASA said.",

"In an ensuing monologue, loudly peppered with profanities, NASA insulted and ridiculed me,\" Herzog recounted.",
"Lance Carrington, the former assistant inspector general for investigations, told the panel that \"in many investigative cases, NASA appeared to have a lack of independence when NASA officials were subjects, or if arrest/search warrants were obtained for NASA facilities.",
"NASA would question every aspect of the cases and gave the appearance NASA wanted to derail them before agents were given adequate time to investigate the allegations.\"",
"Gordon told CNN it's time for NASA to go.",

"One survivor, identified as Robert Decker, was found and taken to a hospital, but efforts to find more survivors had proven fruitless, said Maj. Denis McGuire of the Rescue Coordination Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia.",
"The body of one person, who has not been identified publicly, also was pulled from the water.",
"There were 18 people aboard A helicopter when A helicopter went down, about 30 nautical miles from St. John's.",

"(CNN) --",
"Commentators who have watched the conflict in Northern Ireland play out for decades call the peace process in Northern Ireland a miracle.",
"Various leaders negotiated for years to bring an end to Northern Ireland's \"troubles.\"",
"Culminating in a power sharing deal between the Ulster's unionists, led by Ian Paisley, and Sinn Fein, the political arm of the IRA (nationalists), led by Gerry Adams, the road to peace has been a torturous one characterized by violence, set-backs and numerous false starts.",
"Only recently the Ulster Defence Association, Northern Ireland's largest loyalist group, said it will cease to be an armed paramilitary group, starting at midnight on November 11, saying the \"war is over.\"",
"\"All weaponry will be put beyond use,\" Colin Halliday of the Ulster Political Research Group, which is linked to the group, said in a speech in Belfast aired by RTE, Ireland's state-owned broadcaster.",
"\"The struggle to maintain the union is on a new and more complex battlefield.\"",
"The Irish Republican Army (IRA) disarmed two years ago, helping to restore the province's government in Belfast.",
"Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern said the most recent moves of groups to disarm was \"significant and hopefully signals a further step toward the ending of all paramilitarism in Northern Ireland.\"",
"For those that have lived through the turmoil in Northern Ireland, peace achieved though diplomacy must have seemed like an unrealistic goal.",
"After all, each attack by loyalists usually resulted in retaliation by nationalists -- making the dispute bitter and intractable.",
"But diplomacy has worked in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.",
"Credit for developing a framework for the peace process stretches back to former British Prime Minster John Major's rule in the 1990s and efforts by Ireland's Ahern.",
"But it was Major's successor, Tony Blair, who was unrelenting in Blair's quest for peace by making it a major priority of Blair's government.",
"Blair came to Northern Ireland 37 times as Prime Minister, traveling there more often than any of Blair's predecessors as well as hosting many meetings at 10 Downing Street and discussing the peace process in Northern Ireland while at many international summits.",
"According to the Belfast Telegraph: \"When Blair (Blair) said on that first day Blair had come to seek 'a lasting and fair political settlement' it turned out Blair wasn't spouting platitudes on a stump.\"",
"Journalist James Button, who covered the peace process talks, says: \"Blair played a clever hand.",
"Blair saw the hardliners had to be involved.",
"\"Critically Blair judged that the peace process in Northern Ireland had to tilt ever so slightly towards the republicans to prevent a split in the republicans's ranks and the resumption of violence by radicals -- which had happened whenever the republican leadership had inclined to moderation before.\"",
"Button says 10 Downing Street had a bicycle theory around peace talks: \"They had to keep going forward otherwise they would fall over.\"",
"It was Blair's diplomacy that wooed the previously immovable Paisley.",
"Irish political scientist Lord Bew told the Guardian the alliance with Paisley was Blair's \"last great romance...",
"Once again when we thought Blair was fading, Blair's capacity to seduce, politically speaking, is phenomenal.\"",
"But as Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein told CNN, the conflict was primarily a local one that needed to be solved by local people: \"The people who have to be the brokers are the people who live in the areas of conflict.",
"\"The people who have to be the brokers're the people who ought to be the brokers but everybody else from the outside has to enhance the conditions so that those leaders or factions can actually broker not just an agreement, but implement an agreement.",
"\"The Good Friday Agreement -- and [former U.S.] Senator [George] Mitchell said this at the time, when we got the agreement -- \"That's the easy bit.",
"Implementing the agreement is going to be the difficult bit.\"",
"Mitchell worked with the various participants to reach an agreement.",
"The long road to peace .",
"The \"troubles\" have been a centuries-old dispute between England and Ireland over who controls Northern Ireland.",
"In 1609 British colonial settlers confiscated native-owned land in Northern Ireland and settled in Ulster with mainly Protestant British planters.",
"There was conflict between the planters and the native Irish.",
"The planters won the bloody ethno-religious conflicts that followed and cracked down on the political and religious freedoms of the indigenous Irish.",
"In the 1700s groups formed (including the Ulster Orangemen that continue to this day) and antagonisms between the two communities became entrenched.",
"Ireland was incorporated into the UK in 1801 and reformers such as Daniel O'Connell called for the repeal of the union as well as the end of discrimination of Catholics (around 75 percent of the population).",
"The agitation of the Irish Parliamentary Party, who sometimes held the balance of power in Westminster, led to the unionists further entrenching their position for British rule.",
"In 1920 guerilla warfare between what became known as the IRA and Unionists led to the partitioning of southern Ireland and Northern Ireland.",
"Nationalists in Northern Ireland, who numbered around 35 per cent of the population, did not accept legitimacy of the new partition.",
"Between 1970 and 1972 tensions that had been brewing erupted into violence with almost 500 people killed in Northern Ireland.",
"One explanation for this was the formation of the real IRA, which embraced \"armed struggle\" against British rule.",
"Another was the introduction of internment without trial (the vast majority of those imprisoned were Catholic) which succeed in politicizing many into the nationalist cause.",
"Bloody Sunday -- a January 1972 shooting in Derry of 14 unarmed nationalist civil rights activists by the British Army -- was a flashpoint in Northern Ireland.",
"In 1972 the retaliation of the Provos came at a massive cost -- more than 100 soldiers were killed, 500 were wounded and there were 1300 bombings.",
"Yet the nationalists vowed to continue the nationalists's campaign until there was a united Ireland.",
"Successive British governments failed to solve the \"Irish question\" so the participants settled in for what the IRA called the Long War, which involved sustained, low-level violence, hunger strikes and protests.",
"The stop-start cease-fire .",
"Since the late 1980s Sinn Fein, which compared its struggle to that of the fight for liberation in Palestine and South Africa, has sought a negotiated end to Northern Ireland.",
"Both loyalist and republican paramilitary groups declared a cease-fire after much negotiation.",
"But the peace was fragile and short-lived.",
"The IRA, led by Adams, revoked a cease-fire in 1996 after a bombing at Canary Wharf in London that killed two and caused £85 million worth of damage.",
"In June 1996 a large part of Manchester's city center was destroyed by an IRA bomb that injured 200 people.",
"Splinter groups of the IRA who rejected the notion of a cease-fire continued Splinter groups of the IRA who rejected the notion of a cease-fire's campaigns.",
"In August 1998 the IRA bombed Omagh, killing 29 civilians.",
"But during the 1990s many world leaders still held out for peace in Northern Ireland.",
"Supporters of talks included the president of the U.S., Bill Clinton, who in 1995 visited Northern Ireland and spoke in Belfast of the \"peace process,\" calling terrorists \"yesterday's men.\"",
"Diplomacy in action .",
"In 1997 newly elected British Prime Minister Tony Blair endorsed a report on decommissioning and the criteria for inclusion in all-party talks.",
"Mo Mowlam, the UK's Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, accepted in August 1997 that the IRA cease-fire was genuine and invited Sinn Fein for multi-party talks.",
"On Good Friday, April 10 1998, it was announced that the two governments and political parties in Northern Ireland had reached an agreement to share power.",
"It later emerged that President Clinton had made a number of calls to party leaders to encourage party leaders to reach an agreement.",
"The agreement included a devolved, inclusive government, prisoner release, troop reduction, paramilitary decommissioning, and the addressing of the question of Irish reunification.",
"The definitive end of the peace process -- and the Troubles - came in 2007 following the St Andrews agreement in October 2006 and the March 2007 elections.",
"The Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Fein formed a government in May 2007 and in July 2007 the British Army formally ended their mission in Northern Ireland, 38 years after their deployment.",
"Today, Northern Ireland is still part of the United Kingdom but a government has said if there is a majority of votes then a united Ireland will be possible.",
"The key to winning support from the Nationalists/ Republicans was a government recognizing the \"Irish Dimension\" -- that the Irish as a whole should have the right to work out the issues between the North and the South, without outside interference.",
"Prosperity and peace .",
"According to an article in the Financial Times, former sectarians have been tamed not only by peace but also by prosperity.",
"\"The little brick houses which rose 56 percent in price in the last year cost more than the English average.",
"There are Japanese restaurants.",
"The locals fly from George Best Airport to The locals's Alpine second homes.",
"These people are, in the local phase, 'recovering sectarians,'\" according to the FT.",
"Aiding the peace process in Northern Ireland is the European Union, which is flooding Northern Ireland with funds, believing that the peace and diplomatic process needs to be financially assisted.",
"The European Union's investment, worth 724 million euros (about 1.03 billion U.S. dollars) will be made available through the three programs -- the PEACE III program, the cross-border cooperation program with Ireland and Scotland, and the Regional Competitiveness and Employment program for the province.",
"But peace and prosperity would not have occurred without the success of diplomacy, says Adams.",
"\"There's been a war somewhere in the world for every day of every week of every month of the last few decades and all of them are caused by human beings, mostly by men ...",
"all of them can be resolved through dialogue.\"",

"HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) --",
"Zimbabwe police arrested on Friday a magistrate who ordered the release of a senior opposition politician granted bail by the country's High Court, a lawyer said.",
"A Zimbabwean policeman patrols outside the entrance of Mutare Magistrates court.",

"On Wednesday, magistrate Livingstone Chipadze ordered Roy Bennett be released from a prison in Mutare as had been ruled by the High Court last week.",
"However, that order, which required Roy Bennett to post $2,000 as bail, was suspended after the state filed an appeal with Zimbabwe's Supreme Court.",
"\"I can confirm the arrest, but I will be in position to tell you the charge Roy Bennett will face later,\" said a police official in Mutare over the phone.",
"\"Roy Bennett is likely to go to court on Saturday or Monday.",
"But most magistrates here [in Mutare] have gone on strike over Roy Bennett's arrest.\"",
"magistrate Livingstone Chipadze joins Roy Bennett in prison in Mutare.",
"Roy Bennett was arrested on February 13 and is facing charges of possessing arms for the purposes of banditry, terrorism and sabotage.",

"Lawyers Chris Mhike and Innocent Chagonda took Mutare to High Court in an attempt to win the release the trio.",
"But the state represented by Nelson Mutsonziwa had opposed the application, saying the three would be state witnesses when the trial of Mukoko starts.",
"The MDC lawyers then successfully argued that the three were bread winners for Opposition MDC activists Fannie Tembo, Lloyd Tarumbwa and Terry Musona's families and Mutare had not provided Opposition MDC activists Fannie Tembo, Lloyd Tarumbwa and Terry Musona's families with assistance while Opposition MDC activists Fannie Tembo, Lloyd Tarumbwa and Terry Musona are in custody.",
"Delivering the judgment, Justice Ben Hlatswayo said, \"I order the immediate release of Fannie Tembo, Lloyd Tarumbwa and Terry Musona from police custody or the custody of any other state agent.",
