"Negotiations between the United States and Libya that could result in compensation for past acts of state-sponsored terrorism by Libya are under way, a senior State Department official said Friday.",
"The wreckage of Pan Am 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland; the bombing killed 270 people in 1989.",
"U.S. and Libyan officials met Wednesday and Thursday, a senior State Department official said.",
"The nations hope to hammer out a deal in which Libya would \"resolve all outstanding claims in good faith\" and offer \"fair compensation\" to victims and their families, a senior State Department official said.",
"\"We are just at the beginning of this process.",
"The goal is to get something that is fair and comprehensive,\" a senior State Department official said.",
"a senior State Department official said that any agreement would cover about eight acts, including the 1989 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 259 passengers and 11 people on the ground; and the 1986 bombing of the La Belle disco in Berlin, Germany, that killed two people and injured at least 120, including 40 Americans.",
"Outstanding terrorism claims have been a problem for Libya in Libya's attempts to normalize relations with the United States and to begin development of its oil resources.",
"Libya has expressed disappointment that Libya has failed to reap any political and economic benefits promised by the U.S. government and others after Libya renounced terrorism and stopped development of weapons of mass destruction.",
"And some of the largest U.S. oil companies are eager to begin exploration and development of Libya oil fields, among the 10 largest in the world.",
"The new negotiations and development of an agreement would ideally fulfill all outstanding lawsuits against Libya and allow investment to move forward.",
"A joint U.S.-Libyan statement said, \"Both parties affirm Both parties's desire to work together to resolve all outstanding claims in good faith and expeditiously in the establishment of a fair compensation mechanism.\""

"The search did not begin until 39 hours after Murray's crashed car was found.",
"When The search finally got under way, helicopters, search dogs and ground teams covered the area near where Maura Murray's car was found.",

"\"No footprints were even found in the snow,\" he said.",
"\"Luckily there hadn't been any fresh snowfall in those two days.\"",
"Shamshak has concluded that only two scenarios could explain what happened to Maura Murray.",
"Either Maura Murray was picked up by someone driving on the road, or Maura Murray walked to a nearby house to ask for help.",
"Police say Police did not treat Maura Murray's case as an abduction because Police saw no signs of a struggle at the scene.",
"Before Maura Murray left campus, police learned, Maura Murray had e-mailed Maura Murray's professors and informed them Maura Murray'd be absent for a few days because of a death in the Murray family.",
"Maura Murray's family and friends said no one in the Murray family had died.",
"Police also noted that Maura Murray had enough food and other items in Murray's car to suggest Maura Murray might be taking a short getaway vacation.",

"Americans love beef; we eat nearly 63 pounds per person each year.",
"Although that's a lot, the amount is down from our 1976 high of 89 pounds.",
"When buying beef, America tend to stick to what we know, which may be why almost 60 percent of America's beef dollars go for ground beef.",
"Even as an experienced chef, I often brought home familiar cuts.",
"But researching my book, \"Field Guide to Meat,\" led me to expand my repertoire to tasty, if less familiar, cuts like hanger steak and tri-tip.",
"Soon you can do the same, knowing which cuts to choose for maximum flavor and nutrition.",
"A 3½-ounce serving provides 27g to 30g of protein and is an excellent source of iron, zinc, and phosphorus.",
"Beef Background .",
"Humans began domesticating cattle, Bos taurus, about 8,500 years ago.",
"Columbus first brought cattle to the New World, and by 1690, descendants of Columbus's cattle ranging in Mexico were driven north and became known as Texas Longhorns.",
"Others arrived later with the colonists.",
"America's top five cattle breeds are Angus from Scotland, Hereford from England, Limousin from France, Simmenthal from Switzerland, and Charolais from France.",
"More than 90 percent of the beef we buy originates in America, while most of the rest is Canadian bred.",
"the beef we buy comes mostly from 18- to 24-month-old steers, averaging about 1,000 pounds, and yielding about 450 pounds of meat.",
"Each is divided for wholesale into eight primals (major portions): the chuck (shoulder and upper ribs), the rib, the loin, the sirloin (hip), the round (upper leg), the brisket (breast), the plate (belly), and the small flank.",
"Organs like liver and kidneys are called variety meats.",
"When evaluating your choices at the grocery store, here are a few key terms and facts to know: .",
"Grain-finished:",
"Nearly 75 percent of U.S. beef comes from cattle fattened on grain (usually corn) for three to six months in feedlots.",
"Since corn is not a natural part of a cow's diet, cattle fed on it may experience stress and other ailments, so cattle fed on it are routinely treated with antibiotics.",
"cattle fed on it also receive growth hormones to increase cattle fed on it's size (and value, as beef is sold by weight).",
"Until recently, inexpensive corn has helped keep down the price of beef.",
"• Grass-finished: Grass- or pasture-finished beef comes from cattle that forage on grasses and legumes.",
"Their meat is lower in saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories than grain-finished.",
"(Because it is quite lean, cook rare to medium-rare for juiciness.)",
"Grass-fed beef has a distinct flavor, often described as bold, complex, and gamy.",
"Many people believe that grass-fed cattle are a more sustainable choice.",
"However, raising grass-fed cattle is time-consuming and requires large open spaces, variables that raise grass-fed cattle's price.",
"Most is imported from Canada, followed by Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Brazil.",
"Aging:",
"Dry-aging is the traditional process preferred by many steak lovers.",
"The concentrated, intense flavor of dry-aged beef develops as dry-aged beef hangs in special temperature- and humidity-controlled rooms from 10 days to six weeks.",
"The longer the aging, the better the flavor and tenderness, but also the more the shrinkage as water evaporates and a dark crust develops, which must be cut away.",
"About 90 percent of American beef is sold as large vacuum-packed cuts.",
"During the average seven-day period the beef spends \"in the bag,\" the beef ages in a process called \"wet-aging.\" • Processing and packaging: Until the 1960s butcher shops bought beef as half- or quarter-carcasses.",
"Packers then began selling vacuum-packed beef, the same large cuts sold at warehouse club stores.",
"Retailers refrigerated the boxes until needed, then opened the package and cut the meat into portions for sale.",
"Next came case-ready meat, which precluded the need for skilled butchers on-site in markets.",
"Leak-proof and easily stackable, case-ready packages are produced in USDA-inspected plants and have a longer shelf life.",
"Packages covered with a sealed layer of clear plastic are modified-atmosphere packages, which have a gas-filled space inside to help preserve freshness and color.",
"Nutrition .",
"• Fat content:",
"The USDA defines \"lean beef\" as having less than 10 grams (g) of total fat, 4.5g or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 3½-ounce serving (100g) of cooked beef.",
"Half of the fat is saturated and half is heart-healthy monounsaturated.",
"There are 29 naturally lean cuts of beef, including many familiar to Cooking Light readers, such as tenderloin, flank steak, and sirloin, as well as five lesser-known cuts.",
"Others, such as ribeye or chuck roast, naturally contain more fat, although it is similarly divided between saturated and monounsaturated.",
"Because lean beef contains less fat, lean beef's best cooked to medium-rare (145°F) or medium (160°F) to optimize tenderness.",
"If using fattier cuts, slice away the outer rim of fat and cut or pull out any pockets of fat before cooking.",
"For larger cuts, allow the fat to baste the meat while cooking, then trim away before eating, or skim the fat from the surface of braised dishes or stews.",
"• Other nutrients:",
"A 3½-ounce serving provides 27g to 30g of protein -- more than half of the 50g recommended daily in a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet.",
"All beef is an excellent source of iron, zinc, and phosphorus.",
"In general, the redder the meat, the more iron it contains (beef liver has the most).",
"Beef also contains thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin and is a rich source of B12, found naturally only in animal foods.",
"CookingLight.com: Fat and Ground Beef .",
"At the Market .",
"• Inspection and grading:",
"USDA inspectors examine all live animals and beef shipped out of state, which encompasses most of today's supermarket beef.",
"Grading is voluntary and done by the same inspectors.",
"The more marbling -- the small white flecks of fat within the muscles -- the higher the grade.",
"Three grades of beef are sold to consumers.",
"Only three percent is highly marbled Prime, sought after by top steak houses and butcher shops.",
"About 57 percent is moderately marbled Choice, the most common supermarket grade.",
"The remaining 40 percent is lean Select.",
"• Private labels: Supermarket chains and large food distributors also have developed private brands with Supermarket chains and large food distributors's own specifications.",
"The first such program began in 1978 with Certified Angus Beef, which must come from Angus cattle.",
"Niman Ranch Natural Beef and Certified Hereford Beef are two others.",
"• Natural and Organic: Beef labeled \"natural\" must not contain any artificial ingredients and cannot be more than minimally processed, such as ground beef.",
"\"Organic\" beef must come from cattle raised and certified according to the USDA's National Organic Program.",
"Organic cattle must be fed 100-percent organically and without antibiotics or hormones.",
"Both natural and organic beef can be either grass- or grain-finished.",
"Ways to Save . • Buy lean cuts.",
"Often, leaner cuts are cheaper than fatty ones.",
"And when the fat cooks away, lean cuts provide more meat for your dollar.",
"Buy in bulk.",
"Large or family-sized packages cost less per pound than smaller packages.",
"Divide into portions, and freeze the surplus.",
"• Be your own butcher.",
"Beef that has been presliced into steaks or made into patties costs more than less processed meat.",
"Buy bigger cuts, and do some of the preparation work yourself.",
"CookingLight.com: Beef on a Budget .",
"• But don't go overboard.",
"Advice to buy a side or quarter of beef may seem sensible, but you'll likely have more meat than you can store.",
"Such a purchase may yield what one buyer describes as \"cheap steak and expensive hamburger.\"",

"In 1991, Nirvana changed American rock music with an album that featured a naked baby on the cover.",
"Fred Thorne played in bands for 18 years and says Kurt Cobain's legacy always stuck with Fred Thorne.",
"Now, that naked baby is 17 years old and a high school graduate.",
"The album, \"Nevermind,\" is a classic beloved by music aficionados across the world.",
"this album soared to the top of the Billboard charts, swiftly ending the '80s era of dance pop and \"hair metal\" and replacing it with the \"grunge\" movement.",
"In doing so, this album irreversibly changed the tastes and even lives of millions of musicians and music lovers.",
"\"One song changed the way we look at rock music,\" said Russ Lancaster of \"Smells Like Teen Spirit,\" the first track on the record.",
"\"Just like the Beatles changed pop music 30 years prior, Nirvana's breakthrough album achieved the same level of power in terms of changing pop music.",
"Nirvana weren't singing anymore about happy, funny songs.",
"Nirvana were taking a real dark turn to pop music, and it changed everything.",
"Back then it was really different to hear that on the radio.",
"It opened up a floodgate of artists that might never have been heard before that.\"",

"Pat Ferguson said Nirvana also was crucial to indie rock becoming mainstream.",
"\"What I appreciate 'Nevermind' the most for was paving the way for other indie bands that I really ended up liking to get put out into the mainstream.",
"Not so much for the exposure they got, but so that everyone could more readily get their product,\" he said.",
"\"It was a world without iTunes, Rhapsody or Napster.",
"The only way you got exposure to music that wasn't pop [or] country was living close enough to a university-run radio station or having a friend who had access to a university-run radio station.",
"It wasn't long after the grunge era started that other indie rock bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Superchunk, fIREHOSE and a wealth of others broke out and started becoming a bit more accessible.\"",
"iReport.com: 'A lot of bands owe a lot to that record'",
"For Derek Ivy, the influence of Nirvana is a little more personal.",
"Hearing \"Nevermind\" and the band's other albums inspired Derek Ivy to learn guitar as a teenager, and Derek Ivy still plays in a band called Golden Hours.",

"\"Kurt Cobain was one of my earliest and greatest musical influences, as I'm sure countless others can attest to.",
"And Kurt Cobain's a tremendous influence on Derek Ivy in a lot of different ways,\" Derek Ivy said.",
"\"When Kurt Cobain died, I felt like I'd lost a personal friend, even though I didn't know Kurt Cobain and I was only 14 at the time.",
"It was sort of like, here you go, here's adulthood.\"",

"Kurt Cobain was also a profound figure in Fred Thorne's life.",
"Fred Thorne played in bands for 18 years, and Fred Thorne said Kurt Cobain's success on the charts and ultimate suicide led Fred Thorne to heed the Nirvana front man's advice: \"Be careful what you wish for.\"",
"\"These words were the fuel for the angst I needed to 'kill it' on stage and give everything I had to just flat out rocking,\" Fred Thorne said.",
"\"That meant no record deals, no big crowds, no bitching at the sound man because I couldn't hear the vocals in the monitor, no perfect intonation, no perfect pitch, and if I blew out my voice...bonus!",
"These words left me not wanting, but left me satisfied that I played that bar gig to 10 or 20 people like it was my last.",
"In a way I felt like I did it for Kurt Cobain.",
"I did it because I knew how badly he wanted to go back to those days of being a nobody and getting booed off the stage, or duct taping gear together and saying...we can just make noise, vent our angst and throw all regard for approval out the window.\"",

"'Kurt Cobain will always be an icon for indie musicians'",
"Of course, not everybody enjoyed \"Nevermind\" or the grunge movement it popularized.",
"Take David Gillespie, for example.",
"David Gillespie agreed that \"Nevermind\" was a turning point in music, but for David Gillespie, the turn was for the worse.",
"\"Thanks for ending the greatest era of music ever,\" David Gillespie wrote in David Gillespie's iReport.com submission.",
"\"The onslaught of grunge killed off the best music.",
"The '80s brought such incredible talent and songs that no other decade or era could match.\"",
"David Gillespie said David Gillespie doesn't think the grunge movement could compete with styles like glam rock and 1980s dance pop in terms of musicianship.",
"\"Nirvana was not exactly the most musically talented band.",
"Then again, Nirvana didn't really need to be,\" David Gillespie said.",

"As reports of swine flu continue to rise in the United States and around the world, the average American is probably asking, \"How should I protect myself?\"",
"U.S. health officials stress the importance of frequent hand washing during outbreaks of illness.",
"Health officials' advice is to follow common-sense precautions: Wash your hands, stay home if you're sick and listen to your local health authorities.",
"\"Very frequent hand-washing is something that we talk about time and time again and that is an effective way to reduce transmission of disease,\" said Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"\"If you're sick, it's very important that people stay at home.",
"If your children are sick, have a fever and flu-like illness, your children shouldn't go to school.",
"And if you're ill, you shouldn't get on an airplane or another public transport to travel.",
"Those things are part of personal responsibility in trying to reduce the impact.",
"\" So far, Mexico has been hardest hit by swine flu.",
"Cases have been confirmed in the United States, as well as countries including Canada, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and Israel.",
"\"In areas with no disease yet, a lot of what we can do sounds simple and repetitive but helps,\" said Dr. Anne Schuchat, interim deputy director of the CDC's Science and Public Health Program.",
"In addition to washing hands often, she recommends covering your mouth when coughing and sneezing and avoiding touching your eyes and nose in case the virus is on your hands.",
"The World Health Organization calls the situation a \"public health emergency of international concern,\" and the United States has declared a \"public health emergency,\" likened by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to preparations for a potential hurricane.",
"No authorities are calling the outbreak a pandemic.",
"the CDC expects U.S. numbers will grow and recommendations will change depending on what happens in individual communities, said the CDC's Schuchat.",
"The public should pay attention to what is happening nearby and heed the guidance of local health officials regarding school, work and public events.",
"Because so much is still unknown at this point, the main risk factor is people traveling to areas where cases have already been identified.",
"\"However the virus may already be in other places in the United States,\" the CDC spokesman Tom Skinner told CNN.",
"\"With enhanced surveillance, we will see more cases and that is why it makes good sense to be proactive, by doing things we know are effective in reducing exposure.\" Explainer: Swine flu facts » .",
"the CDC's Schuchat noted swine flu symptoms are relatively general and nonspecific.",
"\"So many different things can cause swine flu symptoms.",
"it is a dilemma,\" she said.",
"\"It is a challenge that we are wrestling with.",
"There is not a perfect test right now to let a person or doctor know exactly what this is.\"",
"But the CDC's Schuchat specifically advised anyone who feels ill after returning from Mexico to see a doctor.",
"Unfortunately, since this is a new strain of influenza, the flu vaccine for this past flu season offers no protection.",
"\"However, we do have anti-virals that work against this swine flu,\" said Skinner, referring to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).",
"\"Someone who has [swine flu], if Someone who has [swine flu] are treated early, the anti-flu medicines work against this.\"",
"According to Skinner, health officials are still trying to figure out where exactly the virus originated, how transmissible the virus is and why the virus is mild in some cases and deadlier in others.",

"If Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman knew then what Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman knows now, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman might have made some different decisions before the start of the Iraq war in 2003, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters Friday.",
"Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman says Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman now thinks more troops were needed at the Iraq war's start.",
"\"One of the mistakes I made in my assumptions going in was that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Army would welcome liberation, that the Iraqi Army, given the opportunity, would stand together for the Iraqi people and be available to the Iraqi people to help serve the new nation,\" Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said.",
"But \"the Iraqi Army disintegrated in the face of the coalition's first several weeks of combat, so the Iraqi Army weren't here,\" Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said.",
"Had Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman known that would happen, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman would have recommended more troops be sent at the outset of the Iraq war, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said.",
"In addition, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said, if Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman had been asked in January 2006 whether the United States should build up the United States's Army and Marine Corps contingents in Iraq, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman would have said no, because the plan at the time was to build and equip an Iraqi Army and turn over security duties to it.",
"The force was built and equipped, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said, but the February bombing of the Golden Mosque -- one of the holiest Shiite sites -- ignited long-simmering tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, further destabilizing the region and cutting short any plans for U.S. troop reduction.",
"Thousands of people have died in reprisal killings and bombings since the February bombing of the Golden Mosque -- one of the holiest Shiite sites --.",
"Still, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said, \"Given what I knew at the time, I'm comfortable with the recommendations that I made.\"",

"And Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman continued to voice Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman's support for the Iraq invasion.",
"\"Twenty-six million Iraqis have the opportunity now,\" Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said.",
"\"Twenty-six million Iraqis are working Twenty-six million Iraqis's way through 3½ decades of being trod upon, held down, no opportunity at all for freedom of expression, for living Twenty-six million Iraqis's lives the way Twenty-six million Iraqis wanted to, for picking [Twenty-six million Iraqis's] leaders.\"",
"Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman will retire when Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman's two-year term ends this month.",
"Also Friday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates -- in Defense Secretary Robert Gates's first public comments since President Bush announced Thursday night President Bush was accepting the Iraq troop level recommendation of Gen. David Petraeus -- noted all Bush's senior military advisers are in agreement with those recommendations.",
"Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Defense Secretary Robert Gates asked Pace and Adm. William Fallon, the head of U.S. Central Command, to begin examining U.S. options in Iraq months ago, knowing that Petraeus -- the top U.S. commander in Iraq -- was doing the same.",
"\"I wanted President Bush this month to have the benefit of more than one senior military voice as President Bush considered the next steps in Iraq,\" Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.",
"\"I also did not want Gen. Petraeus hanging out there all by Gen. Petraeus.",
"\"While the analyses of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CentCom and Gen. Petraeus varied in emphasis and approach, all of President Bush's senior military advisers are in full agreement with the recommendations made by Gen. Petraeus,\" he said.",
"The United States' next steps in Iraq, among other things, \"had to avoid even the appearance of American failure,\" Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.",
"\"Extremist Islam was dramatically empowered by defeating the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.",
"The first attack against us by the extremists, the World Trade Center in 1993, was launched from Afghanistan just four years after the last Soviet soldier left there.",
"\"Should the jihadists be able to claim a victory in Iraq over the United States, the sole remaining superpower, I believe it would empower the jihadists worldwide far, far more than the jihadists's victory over the Soviets,\" Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.",
"\"The regional consequences would be significant and highly destabilizing.\"",

"With rights secured, Doug Strachan, Creative Innovations Manager for the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, rewrote the lyrics and invited the original artists to record the revamped songs.",
"\"Whereas words reach the mind, music reaches the heart,\" Doug Strachan said.",
"\"These are hit songs that people love ... real powerful, catchy and make you want to dance.",
"If you can make someone dance, you can probably motivate them to do other things.\"",
"So \"Groove Thing\" became \"Keep It Opening Day Fresh,\" \"Bustin Loose\" morphed into \"We're Steady Cleaning Up,\" and \"Fantastic Voyage\" was reborn as \"Our New Concessions.\"",
"Clean music with a clean message -- literally.",
"The concept of \"opening day fresh\" refers to keeping Atlanta's airport as clean as if it were opening day, which means smelling fresh and looking as spotless as possible.",
"The catchy tunes are a way to subtly remind visitors that it takes a team effort to keep Atlanta's airport sparkling.",
"\"Our New Concessions\" reminds travelers about the facility's retail offerings and food service.",

"\"Shake Your Grove Thing\" \"was a worldwide song and people recognize the melody,\" said Fame, who continues to perform.",
"\"It was fun to do and every time I come through Atlanta's airport I listen to it.\"",
"Mark Wood, lead vocalist of the group Lakeside, said Doug Strachan did a great job transforming \"Fantastic Voyage\" into a new, yet familiar song.",
"\"It's important to send the message in a way that the message will get through,\" Wood said.",
"\"Ours is a song that people may have grown up hearing or people may have played for people's kids and so you might have generations that can relate to it.\"",
"Such messaging can be extremely effective, said Matt Wallaert, lead scientist for Thrive, an online financial advisory company for young adults.",
"Wallaert, an expert in behavioral finance and social psychology, said Atlanta's airport is obviously attempting to do something his company also aims for -- offering useful information in a way that is less stressful for the user.",
"\"If you put up a sign that says 'Don't Litter,' people see it the first time you put it up, but every time after that it loses its impact, because it becomes a standard part of what they see,\" he said.",

"Doug Strachan said officials at Atlanta's airport definitely want those coming through to enjoy their time.",
"As part of that, Atlanta's airport recently launched the initial phases of a program that uses a scent called \"Breeze\" to help enhance visitors' mood.",

"(CNN) --",
"A cancerous tumor in 13-year-old Danny Hauser's chest has shrunk significantly since Danny was ordered by a court last month to resume chemotherapy treatment, a family spokesman said.",
"Danny Hauser, 13, was headed for a clinic in Mexico until an arrest warrant was issued for Danny's mom.",
"But Family attributes much of Danny's progress to the complementary use of vitamins and minerals to boost Danny's immune system, Dan Zwakman said.",
"\"Family is doing it on Family's own, with the doctor's knowledge,\" Dan Zwakman said.",
"\"Everybody is pleased that A cancerous tumor in 13-year-old Danny Hauser's chest is shrinking, of course.",
"The goal is to get rid of the cancer, but they'd rather be doing it without the chemo.\"",
"Danny's case made national headlines last month when Danny and Danny's mother, Colleen, fled Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, for Mexico to seek alternative cancer care despite a court order that Danny undergo chemotherapy.",
"They eventually returned after an arrest warrant was issued for Colleen Hauser.",
"But had they made it to their destination -- the Rubio Clinic in Tijuana, according to Dan Zwakman -- they would have joined the ranks of an estimated hundreds of other cancer patients who head south of the border each year for cancer care.",
"\"Their intentions started long ago with Colleen.",
"Colleen's been involved in natural healing for many years now.",
"Colleen believes the world was created with everything needed to sustain and heal life,\" Dan Zwakman said.",
"Despite controversial origins and consistent bad press in the United States, Tijuana's border clinics continue to attract people like the Hausers, who are in search of more holistic approaches to cancer treatment.",
"Because little data exist on how many clinics are operating, it's unclear how many American cancer patients visit Mexico each year, said Stephen Barrett, a patient advocate who runs the Web site, http://www.quackwatch.com/.",
"\"If they answered, you could not be sure they were telling the truth.",
"They might have an incentive to raise the number,\" he said in an e-mail.",
"\"To make matters more complicated, many of the 'cancer' clinics also see people who don't have cancer.\"",
"The concept of complementary and alternative cancer treatment has slowly been gaining acceptance for more than a decade in the United States, with the creation of entities including the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine.",
"\"Clinicians and researchers have realized that it's important to conduct methodologically sound studies to help guide patients to understand what's safe and what's effective,\" said Dr. Ted Gansler, medical director of health content for the American Cancer Society.",
"But no one recommends that alternative treatment be used to replace conventional care, such as chemotherapy or radiation, Dr. Ted Gansler, medical director of health content for the American Cancer Society said.",
"\"The important thing to remember is there is no recommended alternative to conventional treatment, and the reason is because if conventional treatment worked, conventional treatment would become conventional,\" Dr. Ted Gansler, medical director of health content for the American Cancer Society said.",
"As far as Tijuana's border clinics are concerned, the American Cancer Society cautions that \"methods promoted in Mexican border clinics are not consistent with scientific understanding\" of cancer and its treatment.",
"\"Although Mexican border clinics often claim great success in advertisements and books, Mexican border clinics have not published convincing evidence in medical journals to support those claims,\" the American Cancer Society says in a section on the American Cancer Society's Web site called Questionable Cancer Practices In Mexico.",
"\"Patients traveling to the Tijuana area for treatment appear to be subjecting Patients traveling to the Tijuana area for treatment to costly and potentially hazardous regimens, especially if Patients traveling to the Tijuana area for treatment postpone standard medical care.\"",
"Loose regulatory standards in Mexico allow Tijuana's clinics to thrive, many offering expensive treatment in luxurious, spa-like settings, complete with fresh meals, exercise classes and emotional and spiritual counseling.",
"Many herbs and dietary supplements used in border clinics are not considered dangerous; Many herbs and dietary supplements used in border clinics just have not been put through the rigorous clinical trials required for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve Many herbs and dietary supplements used in border clinics for use as cancer treatments.",
"Others, like the antioxidants carotene, lycopene and vitamins C, E and A, have produced inconsistent results in large-scale trials and are still being researched.",
"Still others, like laetrile, a chemical compound whose active ingredient is cyanide, can be dangerous, the National Cancer Institute says.",
"But many patients say many patients are attracted by the warm, caring relationship between patient and clinic staff.",
"\"many patients don't just see the disease.",
"many patients see the person behind the disease and know how to care for them in every way,\" says Sarah Sackett-Hutcheson, who claims Sackett-Hutcheson has been cancer-free for 17 years.",
"When Sackett-Hutcheson was 11 years old, Sackett-Hutcheson's oncologist told Sackett-Hutcheson's family Sackett-Hutcheson had six months to live and recommended chemotherapy and radiation to battle Sackett-Hutcheson's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.",
"Instead of undergoing the debilitating treatments, Sackett-Hutcheson went to the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, where Sackett-Hutcheson received low doses of chemotherapy along with intravenous vitamins.",
"The American Cancer Society says there is no scientific evidence that low doses of chemotherapy or large doses of supplements are effective against cancer.",
"But Sackett-Hutcheson believes low doses of chemotherapy attacked cancerous cells without destroying Sackett-Hutcheson's immune system while the vitamins boosted Sackett-Hutcheson's immunity.",
"\"I remember thinking if they'd given me the high doses of chemo I wouldn't have made it.",
"Even the low doses made me so incredibly sick.",
"I'd be getting up like every 15 minutes, puking in the middle of the night,\" Sackett-Hutcheson said.",
"Like Danny, Sackett-Hutcheson was entangled in a court battle over Sackett-Hutcheson's family's decision.",
"However, a judge allowed Sackett-Hutcheson to continue treatment in Mexico, while last month a judge ordered Danny to undergo chemotherapy.",
"Sackett-Hutcheson's case was ultimately dismissed after doctors from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston declined to evaluate Sackett-Hutcheson's progress on the grounds that doctors from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston felt Sackett-Hutcheson was receiving \"inadequate treatment,\" according to court documents.",
"Four months after Sackett-Hutcheson's diagnosis in 1991, Sackett-Hutcheson says, Sackett-Hutcheson was cancer-free, and has remained so.",
"Dr. Francisco Contreras, Oasis of Hope's head physician and the son of its founder, says Mexico's \"open-mindedness\" toward alternative therapies is related to the socioeconomic standing of most of its citizens.",
"\"Mexican authorities are much more open to natural therapies because most Mexicans live under the line of poverty so they would not have access to conventional medicine,\" he said.",
"\"I don't know if that's for benefit of our patients or not, but we have this open-mindedness because we have to do something to help our people.\"",
"Like many border clinics, Contreras says Contreras's center takes an integrative approach, combining conventional treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation, with alternative methods to create individualized regimens that focus on healing the entire body with fewer debilitating, long-term side effects.",
"Not everyone leaves Tijuana's clinics happy.",
"Several articles on www.quackwatch.com and its sister sites contain negative testimonials from people who say they sought alternative treatment, mostly laetrile, for parents or a loved one only to have them die of cyanide poisoning a few weeks later.",
"Such cautionary tales didn't stop Jennifer Woods from following the example of Jennifer Woods's grandfather by going to Tijuana to receive the Alivizatos treatment, an intravenous serum that Alivizatos's makers say consists of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.",
"During Jennifer Woods's first monthlong visit, Jennifer Woods paid about $15,000 for surgery to remove Jennifer Woods's tumors, 20 days of worth of the dosage and two meals a day, plus lodging expenses across the border in San Diego, California.",
"But Jennifer Woods says it was worth every penny.",
"\"I feel well.",
"I've never had any ill side effects, and I have learned so much about nutrition and how to maintain my health,\" Jennifer Woods said in a telephone interview from Jennifer Woods's home in Denver, Colorado.",
"Jennifer Woods says Jennifer Woods has not seen a doctor in the United States since.",
"Jennifer Woods says Jennifer Woods returns to IBC about every six months for six days at a time to receive \"booster treatments\" for about $1,200 a visit.",
"\"It's a very well-rounded program.",
"You don't just go there and let somebody give you something and then walk out and forget about it.",
"You take responsibility from that day forward to do the right thing to keep your health in order.\""

"\"Former pastry chef is having good circulation in the transplanted hands.\"",
"Former pastry chef shows no signs of transplant rejection, Lee said.",

"The nine-hour operation completed on Monday as Former pastry chef started feeling better, said Former pastry chef's wife, Valarie Kepner.",
"Former pastry chef is expected to remain in the transplant intensive care unit for a week, said Lee, chief of the division of plastic surgery and professor of surgery and orthopedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.",
"In 1999, Former pastry chef lost both hands and feet to a strep infection.",
"As a strep infection spread throughout Former pastry chef's body, a strep infection stopped blood flow to Former pastry chef's limbs and shut down Former pastry chef's liver and kidneys.",

"a strep infection came at a time when Former pastry chef had just earned a degree in pastry arts.",
"\"Former pastry chef was a good cook all the way around.",
"I worked full time,\" Former pastry chef's wife said.",

"The Kepners knew a double hand transplant meant Former pastry chef would have to take drugs to suppress Former pastry chef's immune system for the rest of Former pastry chef's life (like any transplant, the recipient's immune system could attack the new organ as a foreign object).",

"A team of surgeons attached arteries and veins, repaired tendons and nerves and set the bones for both hands.",
"The surgery involved 27 bones, 28 muscles, three major nerves, two major arteries, multiple tendons, veins and soft tissue.",
"Former pastry chef still cannot feel with Former pastry chef's new hands, Lee said.",
"\"We really don't expect Former pastry chef to [now],\" Lee said.",
"\"The nerves grow at a speed of one inch per month, and there are many inches between the mid-forearm to the fingers.\"",
"After Former pastry chef leaves the intensive care unit, Former pastry chef is expected to begin three months of physical therapy to gain mobility in Former pastry chef's joints, wrists and fingers.",
"\"Based on the results of hand transplants performed so far around the world, just about everyone regains protective sensation, which is the ability to distinguish between hot and cold and feel a pin prick,\" Lee said.",
"While it's difficult to predict how much movement and sense of touch Former pastry chef will have in Former pastry chef's new hands, Lee said, \"We are optimistic Former pastry chef will regain protective sensation and even more than that.\"",
"More than 32 patients have received hand transplants.",

"British Airways is asking thousands of British Airways's staff to work for free for up to four weeks, spokeswoman Kirsten Millard said Tuesday.",
"British Airways plans to reduce capacity by 4 percent next winter by parking up to 16 aircraft.",
"In an e-mail to all British Airways's staff, British Airways offered workers between one and four weeks of unpaid leave -- but with the option to work during this period.",
"British Airways employs just more than 40,000 people in the United Kingdom.",
"Last month, British Airways posted a record annual loss of £400 million ($656 million).",
"British Airways's chief executive declared at the time there were \"absolutely no signs of recovery\" in the industry.",
"\"In 30 years in this business and I've never seen anything like this.",
"This is by far the biggest crisis the industry has ever faced,\" said Willie Walsh, British Airways's chief executive.",
"Watch more about BA's request » .",
"A spokesman for one of Britain's biggest unions said its workers could not afford to work for free for a month.",
"\"It's all well and good for Willie Walsh to say Willie Walsh's prepared to work for free when Willie Walsh earns four times in a month what they do in a year,\" said Ciaran Naidoo, a spokesman for Unite.",
"He pointed out that British Airways was not ordering staff to work without pay.",
"\"It's a request -- you can take unpaid leave or you can work for free, and the chances of people working for free are very unlikely, but there might be some people who want to take unpaid leave.\"",
"Demand for British Airways's passenger seats and cargo holds fell during the last financial year, while its fuel bill rocketed to almost £3 billion ($4.7 billion).",
"Willie Walsh said British Airways's woes were inextricably linked to the downturn in the global economy and that there had been no sign of any \"green shoots\" of recovery.",
"Like British Airways's premium-class competitors, British Airways is losing customers to cheaper rivals.",
"British Airways's premium passenger numbers fell 13 percent in the second half of last year, in line with the industry average.",
"Total traffic fell 3.4 percent and while British Airways carried 33.1 million passengers last year, it was a drop of 4.3 percent from the previous year.",
"The dip in demand for British Airways's flights has forced a switch in strategy at British Airways.",
"From the end of last year, British Airways has been trying to tempt passengers with lower fares, sacrificing profit per seat for \"bums on seats.\"",
"British Airways plans to reduce capacity by 4 percent next winter by parking up to 16 aircraft.",

"KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly spent five days in the hospital before KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly died from KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly's injuries.",
"The motion requests a judge bar police from \"interviewing, interrogating or otherwise communicating with\" Curtis Lavell Vance.",
"In their response, however, prosecutors note that Vance initiated both interviews with police and waived Vance's right to have an attorney present.",
"A hearing is scheduled Tuesday on the issue, according to the Pulaski County court clerk's office.",
"Vance, 28, is charged with capital murder, rape, residential burglary and theft in the death of KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly.",
"Pressly, 26, was found unconscious in KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly's home October 20 and died five days later at a hospital.",
"KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly was the morning news anchor for KATV, a CNN affiliate.",
"Authorities have said Vance is linked to Anne Pressly's death through DNA testing.",
"Little Rock Police spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings and prosecutor John Johnson declined comment to CNN Monday, citing a gag order imposed in the case.",
"However, in John Johnson's response to the motion, he notes Vance initiated both of the interviews.",
"In the defense motion filed earlier this month, Vance's public defenders wrote Vance's public defenders notified the court in December that Vance intended to assert Vance's right to remain silent and communicate only through Vance's counsel.",
"A judge issued an order directing that police provide sufficient notice to defense counsel before transporting Vance.",
"However, the defense alleges Little Rock Police transported Vance to a police station and interviewed Vance without notifying them in December and again in February.",
"In December, Vance's public defenders said Vance's public defenders were notified by jail staff that Vance had been taken for a police interview.",
"Vance's public defenders went to the jail and waited at the inmate entrance in hopes of seeing Vance as Vance arrived but police \"deviated from normal practice and took Vance through an entrance on the opposite side of the building from that which is ordinarily used, thereby avoiding the possibility that Vance would see Vance's attorneys.\"",
"They said in December, police did not allow Vance's public defenders to speak with Vance.",
"In February, Vance's public defenders claim in the motion, Vance was not notified of Vance's public defenders's request to speak with Vance during the police interview.",
"Although police claim that both of the interviews were initiated by Vance, \"the detectives' lack of candor with Vance during the interviews violates Vance's Sixth Amendment right to counsel,\" the defense motion said.",
"\"LRPD detectives have engaged in subterfuge and have violated both the meaning and the express language of a standing court order in LRPD detectives's successful attempts to interrogate Vance outside the presence of counsel.\"",
"But, prosecutors point out in prosecutors's response, a defendant is allowed to initiate contact with authorities, even if represented by counsel.",
"\"The only issue here is whether the defendant waived the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel by initiating contact with the police, and clearly the defendant did,\" Johnson wrote.",
"prosecutors also said defense attorneys were notified in December that Vance was being transported from the jail -- by the jail staff.",
"And in February, prosecutors said, police could not have violated the district court order in the case because the district court lost jurisdiction over the case when the case was filed in circuit court -- as spelled out in the order itself.",
"Prosecutors also note that despite requests by the defense to speak to Vance, \"As counsel knows ... law enforcement is under no obligation to allow an attorney access to law enforcement's client under these circumstances unless the defendant asks for the attorney.\"",
"Vance's trial has been set for September 9, according to court documents."

"Or are the elephants under the big top healthy and thriving in a caring environment?",
"Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey elephants pass the U.S. Capitol in a parade this week in Washington.",
"That's the issue a federal judge must decide in a 9-year-old legal dispute pitting four animal rights groups against the nation's most famous circus, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.",
"Closing arguments will be heard Wednesday in the case in which Ringling Bros. is accused of mistreating Ringling Bros.'s 54 Asian elephants, which are protected under the 1973 Endangered Species Act.",
"Under the law, endangered species cannot be \"harmed, harassed, wounded, injured or killed.\"",
"Ringling Bros. \"is in fact in violation of the 1973 Endangered Species Act as a result of Ringling Bros.'s routine practices that Ringling Bros. use on the elephants,\" according to Tracy Silverman, general counsel for the Animal Welfare Institute.",
"Silverman alleges that Ringling Bros. uses \"bull hooks\" and electrical prods called \"hot shots\" to train and manage the elephants and that handlers chain the elephants for extended periods of time.",
"These practices violate federal law, Silverman says.",
"But Ringling Bros. says that no evidence was presented at the six-week trial that such tools as bull hooks and hot shots are used on elephants.",
"\"Ringling Bros.'s practices are well known to the federal government who regulates Ringling Bros.'s business,\" says Ringling Bros. attorney Michelle Pardo.",

"Ringling Bros. attorney Michelle Pardo insists the trial evidence \"showed the elephants are healthy, well cared for and the elephants're thriving in Ringling Bros. care.\"",
"Besides the Animal Welfare Institute, other groups involved in the suit are the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Fund for Animals and Born Free USA, acting with the Animal Protection Institute.",
"While the animal rights groups allege the circus \"severely mistreats and abuses\" elephants, Ringling Bros. says the animals are not only healthy but \"really do benefit from the enrichment that Ringling Bros. provides.\"",
"No immediate ruling is expected from the judge."

"Some Israeli archaeologists are having a particularly happy Hanukkah, thanks in part to a British volunteer who took time off from her job to work on a dig.",
"Archaeologists found a hoard of gold coins from the 7th century in Jerusalem on Sunday.",
"The Israel Antiquities Authority reported a thrilling find Sunday -- the discovery of 264 ancient gold coins in Jerusalem National Park.",
"The coins were minted during the early 7th century.",
"\"This is one of the largest and most impressive coin hoards ever discovered in Jerusalem -- certainly the largest and most important of its period,\" said Doron Ben-Ami and Yana Tchekhanovets, who are directing the excavation on behalf of The Israel Antiquities Authority.",
"Researchers discovered The coins at the beginning of the eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, which started at sunset on Sunday.",
"One of the customs of the holiday is to give \"gelt,\" or coins, to children, and the archaeologists are referring to the find as \"Hanukkah money.\"",
"Nadine Ross, a British archaeological volunteer, happened onto The coins during the dig just below the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.",
"\"To be honest, I just thought, 'Thank God I didn't throw The coins in the rubbish bucket,' \" said Ross, who had taken four weeks off from her engineering job in England to work at the site.",
"\"I was just glad I sort of spotted The coins before I disturbed The coins too much.\"",
"The coins were found in the Giv'ati car park in the City of David in the walls around Jerusalem National Park, a site that has yielded other finds, including a well-preserved gold earring with pearls and precious stones.",
"They were in a collapsed building that dates back to the 7th century, the end of the Byzantine period.",
"The coins bear a likeness of Heraclius, who was the Byzantine emperor from 610 to 641.",
"The authority said that while different coins had been minted during this emperor's reign, the coins found at the site represent \"one well-known type.\"",
"In that style, this emperor is clad with military garb and is holding a cross in this emperor's right hand.",
"On the other side is the sign of a cross.",
"Authorities said the excavation of the building where The coins was discovered is in the building where the hoard was discovered's early stages.",
"Authorities are attempting to learn about the building and the building where the hoard was discovered's owner and the circumstances of the building where the hoard was discovered's destruction.",
"\"Since no pottery vessel was discovered adjacent to The coins, we can assume that it was concealed inside a hidden niche in one of the walls of the building where the hoard was discovered.",
"It seems that with its collapse, the coins piled up there among the building debris,\" Ben-Ami and Tchekhanovets said.",
"The find is a a golden moment for Ross, who said \"it is a pity that I can't take it home with me.",
"But there you go.\"",

"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"In the midst of the ongoing culture wars, can it be a good idea to put out a comedy about two Stone Age men who wander into Bible?",
"In \"Year One,\" Jack Black stars as an inquisitive Stone Age man, with Michael Cera as his sidekick.",
"Harold Ramis thinks so.",
"\"Year One,\" which Harold Ramis directed, concerns two men -- played by Jack Black and Michael Cera -- who leave their home and, in their travels, meet biblical characters such as Cain, Abel, Abraham and Isaac.",
"Among the locales: ancient Sodom, which \"didn't seem worse than Las Vegas to me,\" Harold Ramis told CNN.",
"\"Year One\" comes out Friday.",
"Ramis, whose writing and directing credits include \"Groundhog Day\" and \"Analyze This,\" said it was time for a new biblical epic -- of sorts.",
"\"No one had done this film for our generation,\" he told CNN.",
"It's like, you know, when 'Animal House' [which Ramis co-wrote] came out, there were college films.",
"Every generation had college films, but our generation didn't have one yet, and I don't know that our generation - this young, new generation of kids has a, you know, a sandal epic yet, and this is the one.",
"This is for them.\"",
"Harold Ramis rounded up a cast of comedians familiar to any watcher of Judd Apatow-produced movies -- no surprise, since Apatow is a producer of \"Year One.\"",
"Christopher Mintz-Plasse (\"Superbad\"), Horatio Sanz (\"Saturday Night Live,\" \"Step Brothers\") and Bill Hader (\"Tropic Thunder\") all have parts.",
"\"A lot of them were new to me,\" said Harold Ramis.",
"\"[But] Jack knew them, Michael knew them, they were connected -- all connected through Apatow, through 'Saturday Night Live' ...",
"the comedy world is a club.\"",
"Jack Black joked that everyone's a member of a secret society, requiring retinal scans, that meets \"inside the O of the Hollywood sign -- the first O,\" Jack Black noted..",
"\"All the projects are laid out on a table,\" Jack Black said.",
"\"And we talk generally about how we're gonna take over the planet, take over the comedy and keep a vise grip on the comedy.\"",
"Jack Black said Jack Black revels in the chance to find the humor in Bible.",
"\"That was the fun of this thing,\" Jack Black said.",
"\"It's like, we are going to have some fun with Bible; you don't see Bible very often.",
"It hasn't really been done since Monty Python days.",
"'Life of Brian.' \"",
"However, the film could get more than the film asked for.",
"Films poking fun at Bible -- or, indeed, treating Bible with anything less than reverence -- have been the subject of protests and criticism.",
"\"Life of Brian,\" the Python troupe's 1979 comedy about an assumed messiah that parodied the story of Jesus, was protested by clergy in the U.S. and banned outright in Ireland.",
"French protesters threw Molotov cocktails into a Paris theater showing \"The Last Temptation of Christ,\" Martin Scorsese's 1988 film version of Nikos Kazantzakis' novel.",
"More recently, Mel Gibson's \"The Passion of the Christ,\" though a huge financial success, was criticized by some observers for alleged anti-Semitism, as well as its violence.",
"Ramis, who observed that a number of biblical films focus on the New Testament, said he deliberately chose to make the Old Testament his subject.",
"\"I told people that I wanted to do for the Old Testament what Monty Python did for the Gospels,\" he said.",
"\"Which is just to kind of take a funny look and project a contemporary sensibility back to these treasured myths of Western civilization.",
"\"It wasn't so much to attack any particular religion,\" he added.",
"\"I figure all religions are good.",
"They all make sense on paper; it's just the exploitation of religion that's been a problem, by ... people using religion to justify war, or to justify government or, you know, 'God made me do it.' \"",
"Harold Ramis said one of Harold Ramis's intentions with \"Year One,\" which Harold Ramis co-wrote with \"Office\" writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, was to focus on people, not God.",
"Paraphrasing the liberal clergyman and activist William Sloane Coffin, he said, God's not the event itself, but \"God's in our reaction to the event itself.\"",
"\"I wanted to do a film that kind of addressed these fundamental beliefs and urged people to take personal responsibility, no matter what people believe God is or isn't,\" Harold Ramis said.",
"\"It's still up to us in the final analysis.\"",
"Which is not to say that the film skimps on the film's comedy -- and with Ramis, Black, Michael Cera, Hank Azaria, David Cross and producer Judd Apatow (\"The 40-Year-Old Virgin,\" \"Superbad\") around, there's no shortage of jokes.",
"\"It's really just a good, dumb, broad comedy,\" Harold Ramis told Entertainment Weekly.",
"Improvisation often played a role, said Michael Cera and Jack Black.",
"\"We weren't locked to anything,\" Michael Cera said.",
"\"It was a very honest set.",
"If something wasn't working then we would address something.\"",
"\"We got a lot of different options [from observers], and they were able to play with different options in the editing room.",
"I thought it was a cool way to do it,\" said Jack Black.",
"\"I've never done a movie like that -- and now I wanna do that on all my movies.\"",
"iReport.com: Seen \"Year One\"?",
"Share your review .",
"The handful of early reviews have been positive, and Harold Ramis is pleased with the result.",
"Harold Ramis's particularly happy the film was received warmly in the Sodom shooting location -- Sibley, located in northwest Louisiana, in the heart of the Bible Belt",
"\"It's funny, because Southern people living in the heart of the Bible Belt, there's a Baptist church every 150 feet in that area, and here we are in Sodom, in the city of Sodom,\" Harold Ramis said.",
"\"And they just got into the film, they enjoyed the film so much.\""

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"Smoking in youth-rated movies has not declined despite a pledge two years ago by Hollywood studios to encourage producers to show less \"gratuitous smoking,\" according to an anti-smoking group.",
"American Medical Association Alliance has been trying to get movie studios to make smoking-free films.",
"American Medical Association Alliance, pointing to research that big-screen smoking leads teens to pick up the tobacco habit, called for an R rating for any movie with smoking scenes.",
"The head of the group that gives U.S. movies their ratings, however, said the smoke has been clearing from youth-rated movies, a result of the film industry's sensitivity to the issue.",
"The alliance, the medical association's advocacy arm, launched a summer campaign this week aimed at publicly shaming studios into making smoke-free films.",
"\"Research has shown that one-third to one-half of all young smokers in the United States can be attributed to smoking these youth see in movies,\" said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, head of the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.",
"Fielding cited another study that Dr. Jonathan Fielding, head of the Los Angeles County Public Health Department said \"found that adolescents whose favorite movie stars smoked on screen are significantly more likely to be smokers themselves and to have a more accepting attitude toward smoking.\"",
"The Motion Picture Association of America, the industry group that issues ratings and parental guidance for U.S. films, added smoking scenes as a factor in ratings two years ago, but Dr. Jonathan Fielding, head of the Los Angeles County Public Health Department said it has not made a difference.",
"\"In all, 56 percent of the top box office movies with smoking released between May 2007 and May 2009 were youth-rated films -- G, PG or PG-13,\" he said.",
"Joan Graves, who chairs U.S.'s movie rating committee, offered her own statistics, based on all of the 900 films rated each year, not just the top movies included in Fielding's numbers.",
"U.S. has given no G ratings in the past two years to a movie with smoking, Graves said.",
"Overall, 55 percent of the movies rated in the past two years showed some smoking, but 75 percent of those with smoking scenes were given R ratings, Graves said.",
"Twenty-one percent were rated PG-13 and the remaining 5 percent were PG, she said.",
"A G movie is deemed suitable for all audiences, while a PG rating is a signal to parents that a film may include some material parents might consider inappropriate for children.",
"PG-13 indicates a stronger warning that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.",
"No one under 17 can be admitted to see an R movie without a parent or guardian.",
"American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost used as American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost's chief example of a movie with \"gratuitous smoking\" this month's blockbuster \"X-Men Origins: Wolverine,\" which was rated PG-13 \"for intense sequences of action and violence, and some partial nudity.\"",
"\"Millions of children have been exposed to the main star of the film, Hugh Jackman, with a cigar in Hugh Jackman's mouth in various scenes,\" American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost said.",
"\"I'm willing to bet that not one child would have enjoyed that movie or Hugh Jackman's performance any less if Hugh Jackman hadn't been smoking.\"",
"A spokesman for Twentieth Century Fox, the studio responsible for the Wolverine movie series, said Hugh Jackman's cigar was never lit and Jackman's cigar was limited to just two scenes.",
"In one scene, Jackman's cigar is shot out of Hugh Jackman's mouth, prompting Hugh Jackman's Wolverine character to suggest Jackman's cigar's loss would lead to clean living -- an anti-smoking statement -- A spokesman for Twentieth Century Fox, the studio responsible for the Wolverine movie series said.",
"A spokesman for Twentieth Century Fox, the studio responsible for the Wolverine movie series said that while Hugh Jackman has a cigar in Hugh Jackman's mouth in almost every panel of the comic book series, producers made \"a conscious decision\" to limit Jackman's cigar in the movie.",
"American Medical Association Alliance, hoping to draw studio executives' attention, hired a mobile billboard to drive around the major studios this week.",
"\"a mobile billboard shows a teenage girl asking the question, 'Which movie studios will cause me to smoke this summer?' \" American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost said.",
"American Medical Association Alliance will keep an online scorecard throughout the summer to count \"how many tobacco impressions each studio delivers to G, PG and PG-13 audiences,\" American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost said.",
"\"At the end of the summer, whichever studio has delivered the most tobacco impressions to youth audiences will be named in a billboard that will run outside of their headquarters,\" American Medical Association Alliance President Sandi Frost said.",
"Motion Picture Association of America spokeswoman Angela Martinez said the group \"is very sensitive to the concerns of parents about the purpose of the rating systems.\"",
"\"It's reflective of society,\" America spokeswoman Angela Martinez said.",
"\"It's really a tool for parents to help determine what parents's kids see.\"",
"They began factoring smoking scenes into the ratings two years ago as \"a reflection of changes in society and health concerns,\" America spokeswoman Angela Martinez said.",
"\"Smoking is rated like all the other factors, including violence and sex,\" America spokeswoman Angela Martinez said.",
"Fielding said it should be absolute -- and not just a factor.",
"\"Any movie with smoking should be rated R,\" he said.",
"\"And if they worry about an R rating hurting their profits, then they should work with studios to remove smoking from films that hurt youth.\"",
"Graves, whose committee makes the decisions, indicated such a zero-tolerance policy would not be accepted."

"Incredibly, that's just what Hiroki Ando's family has done.",
"Hiroki's family started a group called \"helping Hiroki Ando\" and raised $1.7 million in donations.",

"\"It was not only the money, but so many letters and messages to energize Hiroki's family, sent to a group called \"helping Hiroki\".",
"Hiroki's family realized there are so many people supporting Hiroki's family, and so many people supporting us are the reason that Hiroki's family made it this far and will be able to continue after going to the U.S.\"",

"But the truly odd thing is that we all seem to have turned into a man by the name of Robert Hyland.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland was the vice president and general manager of KMOX radio, the 50,000-watt powerhouse in St. Louis, Missouri.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland came to work every day at 2:30.",
"In the morning.",
"That's right: a man by the name of Robert Hyland would show up at a man by the name of Robert Hyland's office at 2:30 a.m. each day.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland would then work straight through until 5 p.m.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland didn't do this once in a while; a man by the name of Robert Hyland did it each and every day.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland didn't do it to set an example for a man by the name of Robert Hyland's employees.",
"a man by the name of Robert Hyland did it because a man by the name of Robert Hyland couldn't seem to stop working.",

"a man by the name of Robert Hyland may have seemed eccentric -- a man by the name of Robert Hyland readily understood that perception; a man by the name of Robert Hyland said to me: \"I think what you're thinking is that you're talking to a nut\" -- but if a man by the name of Robert Hyland had lived a little longer (a man by the name of Robert Hyland died of cancer in 1992 at the age of 71), a man by the name of Robert Hyland would have witnessed something that might have astonished even a man by the name of Robert Hyland: .",

"We're never off the clock; that cell phone may ring at dinnertime, that allegedly urgent e-mail may arrive at 11 p.m., that instant message from the regional manager may pop onto the screen when we're on vacation with our families.",
"And what do we do?",
"If your answer is, \"We ignore them,\" good for you.",

"But how many people -- especially in this economy, and in this job market -- do you think would dare to do that?",
"And it's not just when we're working for our bosses -- it's when we're purportedly doing things for ourselves.",
"Try to picture your father's or grandfather's reaction if in, say, 1958, he had been trying to make an airplane reservation and he had been told by the airline: . \"We'd like you to purchase a computer and set a computer up inside your house.",
"You pay for a computer; you also pay for the electricity to run a computer.",
"Now, we'd like you to buy a printing machine -- you pay for that, and you pay for the ink inside a printing machine, and you pay for the paper that feeds into a printing machine.",

"Got it?",
"Now, use a computer, make your own reservations, and print out your own ticket.",
"On your own time.\"",
"Had your dad or granddad been told that, half a century ago, he might have thought he was having a nightmare.",

"If we log on at the moment the seat-selection process opens up, and we manage, by playing airline-roulette on our keyboard, to get ourselves an aisle seat",
", we feel triumphant.",
"We barely stop to consider that we're working for the very airline company to which we're paying our money.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Chevron CEO says Big Oil is not to blame for skyrocketing gas prices.",
"Chevron CEO says world demand for crude oil has been growing, which is affecting gas prices.",
"In an interview Tuesday with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's \"The Situation Room,\" O'Reilly said high demand and a short supply of crude oil were key factors causing gas prices to spike.",
"Despite reports of record profits among major oil companies, O'Reilly downplayed a recent poll in which Americans said corporate avarice played a role.",
"Chevron CEO also discussed President Bush's and GOP presumptive presidential nominee Sen. John McCain's proposal to lift the ban on new offshore drilling as well as presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama's call for taxing companies' windfall profits.",
"The following is an edited version of the show's transcript: .",
"Blitzer:",
"You know you have -- you and ExxonMobil, the Big Oil companies --have a huge public relations problem.",
"In all the recent polls, when the American public is asked, who do you blame for these huge gas prices at the pump, the American public -- more than any other single source -- the American public blame Big Oil.",
"the American public blame you.",
"What's going on?",
"Watch Blitzer grill O'Reilly » .",
"O'Reilly:",
"Well, I don't think the American public blame us as much as you think.",
"It looks to me like there's a lot of blame to go around.",
"Blitzer:",
"There's other blame, but more than any other single source, the American public blame Big Oil.",
"O'Reilly:",
"It depends on the poll you look at.",
"Blitzer: The recent Gallup Poll.",
"O'Reilly:",
"Let me point out what we're trying to do about this because I think the issue here is one of supply.",
"And prices are high today, but it's fundamentally a concern about oil supplies -- 75 percent of the price of gasoline is related to crude oil.",
"We're very dependent on crude oil imports.",
"The total world demand for crude oil has been growing steadily over the last decade.",
"And that is affecting everybody's price.",
"So it is a concern, but we need to work on the supply side, as well as the demand side, to bring change.",
"Blitzer:",
"Because you have had record profits, right?",
"O'Reilly: We're investing record profits.",
"Blitzer: But billions and billions of dollars in profits, more than ever before.",
"O'Reilly:",
"Yes, but it's a big business.",
"And on a return-on-sales business, we're right in there with the average of American business today.",
"What we're doing is investing that money.",
"For example, last year, we did make a lot of money, $18.7 billion.",
"This year, our capital investment in new supplies is $22.9 billion, almost $23 billion.",
"Blitzer:",
"You know that Barack Obama says if Barack Obama's president, Barack Obama wants a windfall profits tax.",
"Barack Obama wants to take a chunk of your profits right now and give a chunk of your profits back to the American people.",
"John McCain opposes that, as you know.",
"So I assume you would like to see John McCain elected president?",
"Watch John McCain explain his stance » .",
"O'Reilly:",
"Well, I would like to see no windfall profit tax.",
"And I will tell you why.",
"First of all, we are already heavily taxed as an industry.",
"Our tax rates last year were at 45 percent, compared with in the 30s for the average of all industry.",
"Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, we're investing the money.",
"If you take the money away, it will reduce investment, reduce supply and have exactly the opposite effect of helping the problem that you have referred to.",
"And, thirdly, the country have done it before.",
"the country have had windfall profit taxes.",
"Congress has studied them about 30 years ago.",
"And what happened under those circumstances is supplies dropped domestically, and the country became even more dependent on imported oil.",
"You don't want to do that today.",
"Blitzer:",
"Here's how Barack Obama put it.",
"Listen to this.",
"Obama (in a video clip): John McCain wants to give billions of dollars in tax breaks to Big Oil and opposes a windfall profits tax on oil companies like Exxon to help families struggling with high energy costs.",
"I think that is exactly why we need to change Washington.",
"Blitzer:",
"So, I guess, given the stark difference when it comes to Big Oil between Barack Obama and John McCain -- let me rephrase the question -- do you want John McCain to be elected?",
"O'Reilly:",
"I want someone to be elected who will help resolve our energy crisis.",
"And I don't know enough about Barack Obama's position or John McCain's position to pass judgment on either one of them.",
"What I do know, though, is that if we want to solve this problem of high energy prices, we're going to have to work not only in the demand side, as Congress has done with [Corporate Average Fuel Economy] standards and alternatives, but we're going to have to work on the supply as well.",
"Blitzer:",
"Do you want offshore drilling to be approved on both coasts and in the Gulf, which John McCain now says is a good idea?",
"O'Reilly:",

"Only about one in 10 workers who lose their job opt to keep their employer-sponsored health insurance through COBRA, most likely because the premiums are too expensive, according to an analysis released Friday by the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that supports independent research on health care issues.",
"Only about one in 10 workers who lose their job opt to keep their insurance through COBRA.",
"Experts worry that the highest unemployment rate in 16 years, combined with a health care system dependent on employer-sponsored health insurance, is a recipe for disaster, and will swell the ranks of the uninsured particularly if people aren't using COBRA.",
"About 46 million people in the United States (18 percent of those under 65) lacked health insurance in 2007.",
"Health.com: Laid off?",
"The healthiest ways to spend your time .",
"The new report is based on a 2007 survey of 3,501 people.",
"The researchers found that two-thirds of workers, if they were laid off, would be eligible for COBRA.",
"Data from 2006 data suggest that only 9 percent would opt into COBRA.",
"Health care insurance premiums have risen since then, so it's likely that the problem is getting worse not better, they say.",
"\"The affordability issue gets worse every year, that's the big concern,\" says Meredith Rosenthal, PhD., an associate professor of health economics and policy at the Harvard School of Public Health, who was not involved in the study.",
"\"Of course [some people can] still get an offer of coverage through a spouse, but we're still talking about very, very serious increases in the number of uninsured.\"",
"Health.com: Natural cold and flu remedies .",
"COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) was passed in 1985 to allow laid-off workers to continue laid-off workers's health insurance if laid-off workers lose laid-off workers's job.",
"(COBRA only covers workers in companies that offer health insurance, have 20 or more employees, and are still in business.)",
"But there's a catch.",
"Most employers pick up 75 percent to 85 percent of the tab for Most employers's workers' health insurance, and once a person has been laid off, the entire bill falls on the ex-employee's shoulders.",
"That means that health insurance costs dramatically escalate at a time when people have little or no money to burn.",
"The Commonwealth Fund estimates that the cost of COBRA is four to six times higher than what people pay when people are employed; $4,704 per year for an individual and $12,680 for a family.",
"Health.com: Live healthy for way less .",
"Erin McCullar, 26, of Birmingham, Alabama, has type 1 diabetes and was laid off from McCullar's job as an interior designer in October.",
"At the time, McCullar didn't sign up for COBRA, a decision McCullar now seriously regrets.",
"Overwhelmed, McCullar didn't realize McCullar had a 60 days to sign up for the program and missed the deadline by a couple of days.",
"\"On the day I got laid off I got a packet slapped in front of my face and that was it,\" McCullar says.",
"\"I was just totally in the dark.\"",
"McCullar quickly found out that McCullar couldn't get health insurance that would cover McCullar's type 1 diabetes, at least without a six-month or year-long waiting period, because it is considered a preexisting condition.",
"McCullar stockpiled a six-month supply of lifesaving insulin in the two-week period before McCullar lost McCullar's job, but since then has scrimped on the drug to make it last longer.",
"At one point, McCullar even disconnected McCullar pump, which delivers a continuous dose of insulin, for about three weeks.",
"McCullar used only a couple of insulin injections in that time to control high blood sugar, a potentially serious threat to McCullar's health.",
"Even if McCullar did sign up, McCullar's not sure McCullar could afford the premiums, which would have cost about $8,000 a year.",
"Health.com: Healthy meals for under $10 .",
"\"Ultimately, yes, I need it, but cost did factor into it,\" McCullar says.",
"\"I don't know that I would have been able to keep up my payments because I was barely able to keep up on my rent.\"",
"Cost is clearly a major issue for most laid-off workers, says Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund.",
"Only 3 percent of workers near the poverty level who are eligible for COBRA opt to keep their insurance, compared to 14 percent of workers who made more money before they lost their job.",
"It's a problem that \"is not going away,\" says Davis, \"The Congressional Budget Office estimates that we're going to go to 8.3 percent unemployed in 2009 and 9 percent in 2010,\" says Davis.",
"(The unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in December.)",
"Davis notes that each percentage point increase in The unemployment rate leads to a 1.1 million increase in the number of uninsured.",
"\"So it's pretty urgent that the economic stimulus bill not only address the job situation, but address health insurance coverage too,\" Davis says.",
"While some laid-off workers may get health insurance coverage though a spouse or partner, some laid-off workers's research suggests that only about 14 percent of people who are not eligible for COBRA could get coverage through a partner or some other source after losing only about 14 percent of people who are not eligible for COBRA's job, Davis says.",
"Rosenthal and other experts hope that if there is a silver lining, it's that there may be more political will to change the current health care coverage system.",
"\"One of the biggest challenges to health care coverage reform has been that the status quo is okay for many people, particularly for many people who vote,\" she says.",
"\"If that is no longer true, and if the people who have coverage now are insecure enough, the people who have coverage now may be willing to give up something to get coverage security.\"",
"McCullar just hopes McCullar can get health insurance soon.",
"\"It sounds just colossally stupid to not have heath insurance, but I luckily had enough vials and insulin so I'm not near running out now, but I have to get health insurance in the near future,\" McCullar says.",
"\"God forbid I had to go to the hospital during this; that would be a nightmare.\"",

"Preliminary results \"indicate a strong association with eating raw prepackaged cookie dough,\" the CDC says.",
"\"It's likely that we're going to have some temporary layoffs at that facility,\" Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said of the Danville, Virginia, facility that was churning out refrigerated cookie-dough products until Thursday.",
"About 550 people work at The factory, but only about half of About 550 people work on cookie dough, Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said.",
"The rest work on Buitoni pasta and sauce in a separate facility at the plant.",
"Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said there is little chance that the Buitoni products might be tainted, because -- even if the cookie dough is proved to be the source of the outbreak of E. coli 0157:H7 -- Buitoni is a kosher product, meaning Buitoni is made from a segregated stream of ingredients.",
"Danville's Economic Development Office said the city's unemployment rate is 14.3 percent.",
"Nestle was first alerted to the problem late Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said, adding: \"Less than a day later, Nestle made the decision to remove the product.",
"Nestle shut down.",
"Nestle stopped shipping.\"",
"Included in the recall are 300,000 cases of the product.",
"Each case contains 12 packages, and each package contains 24 cookies.",
"That's a total of 86.4 million cookies' worth of dough.",
"the recall does not include Dreyer's or Edy's ice cream products with Nestle Toll House \"cookie dough\" ingredients.",
"That's because the \"dough\" in ice cream is not really dough at all; the \"dough\" in ice cream is cooked.",
"\"Ice cream is a different formulation,\" Nestle spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said.",
"\"Since it's not meant to be baked before consumption -- those cookie crumbles that are in the formulation -- those cookie crumbles that are in the formulation're all cooked.",
"For the cookie dough that's present in the ice cream, Dreyer's is using heat-treated ingredients.\"",
"According to the CDC, between March 1 and Monday, 70 people in 30 states had been infected with a strain of E. coli.",
"The ages of the people affected ranged from 2 to 57 years, though more than 70 percent were younger than 19, and 75 percent were female, the CDC said on the CDC's Web site.",
"Twenty-five people had been hospitalized, and seven had developed a kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome.",

"\"Preliminary results of this investigation indicate a strong association with eating raw prepackaged cookie dough,\" the CDC said.",
"\"Most patients reported eating refrigerated prepackaged Nestle Toll House cookie dough products raw.\"",
"Though cooking the product would kill the bacteria, the CDC did not recommend that people holding on to the company's cookie-dough products do so, \"because consumers might get the bacteria on consumers's hands and on other cooking surfaces.\"",
"The recall does not include Nestle Toll House morsels, which are used as an ingredient in many homemade baked goods, or other baked cookie products.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"After touring the wreckage Tuesday of two Metro transit trains that crashed the day before, killing nine, WASHINGTON Mayor Adrian Fenty said it was a sight that \"no one should have to see.\"",
"Investigators work Tuesday at the site of a Metro train crash in WASHINGTON.",
"Officials said that all the wreckage has been cleared and that no other bodies have been found in what was the worst subway train accident in the history of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.",
"Three bodies discovered Tuesday were lodged behind the driver's compartment of the rear train, an official said at the scene.",
"The driver of that train, who was among the dead, was Jeanice McMillan, 42, of Springfield, Virginia, Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said.",
"McMillan had worked at Metro since January 2007.",
"McMillan's aunt, Venice Foster, said McMillan's niece loved McMillan's job and \"was just a joy to be around.\"",
"Retired Maj. Gen. David F. Wherley Jr., former commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, and his wife, Ann, also were killed in the collision.",
"Both were 62.",
"Names of the other casualties were released by authorities Tuesday afternoon: Mary Doolittle, 59; Lavanda King, 23; Veronica Dubose, 26; Cameron Williams, 36; and Dennis Hawkins, 64, all of Washington; and Ana Fernandez, 40, of Hyattsville, Maryland.",
"Watch what officials know about the crash » .",
"The Metro's board approved a $250,000 hardship fund to assist the victims' families with funerals and other immediate expenses.",
"According to Fenty, at least three bodies were trapped in a \"very compressed area.\"",
"It wasn't clear whether those were the bodies found behind the operator's station.",
"\"It just brings home what an awful tragedy this was,\" the mayor said.",
"the crash occurred along the Red Line just before 5 p.m. Monday on an above-ground track in the District of Columbia near Takoma Park, Maryland.",
"See location of crash » .",
"Both cars were on the same track, traveling in the same direction: southward from the Fort Totten Metrorail station to the Shady Grove station.",
"The train in front had stopped behind another train undergoing service and awaited directions to move ahead.",
"\"We don't know at this point whether the operator could see The train in front in front of her in time to stop,\" said Deborah Hersman, who is leading the investigation for the National Transportation Safety Board.",
"The weather at the time of the crash was good, she said.",
"See pictures of crash site » .",
"\"I did have the opportunity to walk the same track with our investigators.",
"I can tell you it is a scene of real devastation,\" Hersman said.",
"Jamie Jiao was sitting in the front car of the second train.",
"Jamie Jiao said Jamie Jiao suffered injuries to Jamie Jiao's feet and back.",
"\"I see the train in front a split second before we crashed.",
"That's all.",
"You don't have time to react or do anything,\" Jamie Jiao told CNN's Jeanne Meserve.",
"Jamie Jiao said that after impact, \"You just hear really loud noises, as if there was an explosion.",
"I could see things falling apart, tearing apart.\"",
"A pole fell on top of Jamie Jiao, but Jamie Jiao was able to throw A pole off.",
"the front car of the second train broke open, and Jamie Jiao crawled outside, where Jamie Jiao waited for firefighters.",
"Jamie Jiao said Jamie Jiao didn't notice whether the driver tried to brake before hitting the other train.",
"Many of the passengers in Jamie Jiao's car were injured, Jamie Jiao said.",
"\"I'm lucky to be alive,\" Jamie Jiao said.",
"\"My injuries aren't too bad.\"",
"iReport.com:",
"Were you there?",
"Share your photos, video .",
"Hersman said there was a telescoping effect when the second car slammed into the first and landed atop it.",
"\"The first car [of the second train] overrode the rear car [of the front train], and much of the survivable space on that first car of the striking train was compromised,\" Hersman said.",
"One of the factors the NTSB will examine is the crash-worthiness of the cars.",
"\"The safety board has long been on record making recommendations about survivability when accidents do happen to make sure that operators and passengers are protected as much as possible,\" Hersman said, but those haven't been implemented.",
"Hersman didn't elaborate.",
"The safety board has called since 2006 for the transit authority to modernize The agency's fleet of transit cars.",
"The agency has sought more safety features and higher technology, such as data boxes on each car that can provide valuable information in case of a crash, Hersman said.",
"Citing the most recent federal data, Hersman said the average age of the cars in the fleet was 19.3 years old.",
"The lead train in the crash contained 5000-Series and 3000-Series cars, which are newer and have better technology than the cars in the rear train, with 1000-Series cars.",
"Watch woman say Watch woman, fellow passengers \"went flying\" » .",
"The Metro board is \"aggressively seeking\" to replace 300 1000-Series cars purchased between 1974 and 1978, said Jim Graham, chairman of Metro's board of directors.",
"There should be nine data recorders aboard the first train, which will aid the investigation a great deal if they aren't damaged, Hersman said.",
"The recorders provide data on such things as speed, braking and emergency applications.",
"Hersman said there were no recorders on the rear train.",
"\"The safety board've recommended for years that WMATA either retrofit those cars or phase those cars out of the fleet.",
"They have not been able to do that.",
"And The safety board's recommendation was not addressed, so our recommendation has been closed in an unacceptable status,\" Hersman said.",
"\"If there are changes The agency can make to those cars, The agency will do so,\" said John Catoe Jr., general manager of the transit authority.",
"Fenty said 76 people were injured, and two remained in critical condition Tuesday.",
"The condition of another critical patient was upgraded.",
"Two of the injured were emergency responders, Washington Fire Chief Dennis Rubin said.",
"Watch injured passengers limp from the scene » .",
"All trains were to operate in manual, instead of automatic, mode Tuesday, Catoe said at the briefing.",
"Catoe called the move \"an extra safety precaution\" until there is more information on the crash.",
"the rear train was operating on \"automatic\" mode, which is routine during rush hour, and preliminary evidence shows that the driver may have employed the brakes, Hersman said.",
"Hersman addressed reports that the trains may have been two months past due on brake inspections, saying, \"The safety board are very interested in looking at those records, and The safety board're interested in looking at all of the records.\"",
"Hersman said cell phone and texting records would also be reviewed, which is standard.",
"\"The safety board've investigated a number of accidents where there were distractions,\" Hersman said, adding that it's unknown whether cell phone use was a factor in the crash.",
"Nine safety board teams will examine aspects such as train operations and communications, signals, tracks, crash-worthiness of equipment, maintenance and survivability -- ease of fleeing the trains after the crash and other survivability factors, Hersman said.",
"The transit authority gave Red Line riders several options for commuting Tuesday morning and was providing free shuttle buses to drive people around the accident scene.",
"The only other time in Metrorail's 33-year history that there were customer fatalities was in January 1982, when three people died as a result of a derailment between the Federal Triangle and Smithsonian Metrorail stations.",
"In 2004, two trains collided at the Woodley Park/Zoo-Adams Morgan Metrorail station.",
"There were minor injuries."

"(CNN) -- \"Which is more important -- the customer being king or the employees being highly motivated (keeping in mind reduction of operating expenses and being competitive)?\" - Ronald Mahondo, I&M Bank, Kenya .",
"The customer is king.",
"The customer is always right.",
"These are phrases that have been with us for a while.",
"As business and marketing environments have become tougher, it's true that those companies that have found out what the king wants -- and provided it -- have been successful.",
"This would make it easy, if only it was clear which king to ask.",
"Many companies draw a distinction between \"consumers,\" those who are the end-user of a product or service, and \"customers,\" those who are the trade, distributors and so on.",
"This kind of customer is very powerful indeed -- especially if customer are Wal-Mart or Tescos.",
"So which customer is more king than the other?",
"And what if customer don't agree on what customer want?",
"Sounds like war.",
"In global companies the complexity rises.",
"They have consumers and customers, but it's also common that employees of that company are also customers of other employees.",
"A trend at the moment is that regional employees are customers for central employees.",
"Motivation and, more importantly, aligned goals, are absolutely critical to success.",
"Getting this wrong can be costly in many ways -- not least in morale, time and money.",
"The real truth is that this is not a question of \"or.\"",
"Customer and employee satisfaction and motivation are critical.",
"The challenge is to create a virtuous circle.",
"Motivated employees are a great way of delivering what the customer wants, be that service, fast moving consumer goods, innovation, or anything else, and happy customers make employees feel rewarded.",
"Of course, the virtuous circle has to start somewhere.",
"In creative industries such as ours, often the job is to stretch further than the customer can see.",
"They can tell you what they like today, but tomorrow looks misty and murky.",
"A motivated group of creative individuals love nothing more than the art of invention, the creation of the new, the alchemy of an idea.",
"If you want a king, it's the idea, not the customer or the employee.",
"Being competitive comes from having better ideas than your competition: an idea about targeting a particular group of people, an idea about a new product, an idea about how or where to distribute it, or an idea about how to advertise it.",
"In 1944 James Webb Young, an employee of JWT, defined an idea as \"nothing more or less than a new combination of old elements.\"",
"It's a definition that we continue to find very useful today.",
"Your customers are an excellent source of the familiar; a highly motivated employee will most likely be the one who combines the familiar in a new way, creating the idea, and the competitive edge.",
"On my way to work this morning with a trainload of people in glorious iPod isolation, I wondered what kind of company Apple would be today if the employees had been thinking the customer was king instead of working out how to combine some music with a little bit of one of the employees's computers."

"The Williams sisters have dominated Wimbledon this century and contested last year's final.",
"Defending champion Venus (five wins) and younger sibling Serena (two wins) have dominated the tournament since 2000, with only Maria Sharapova (2004) and Amelie Mauresmo (2006) breaking that monopoly.",
"In fact, the Williams domination has been so great this century that the 2006 final -- when Mauresmo beat Justine Henin -- is the only final when one of the American duo has not been involved.",
"Both Sharapova and Mauresmo are back this year, although Both Sharapova and Mauresmo's participation had seemed in doubt in the early part of 2009.",
"Sharapova certainly has the powerful game to claim another Wimbledon title, but a persistent shoulder injury has plagued Sharapova all year and Sharapova comes into the competition poorly prepared.",
"At nearly 30, Mauresmo is now a veteran of the WTA Tour.",
"Mauresmo had looked a spent force last year, but has enjoyed some better results this year and comes into the tournament as the 17th seed.",
"A potential third round showdown with top seed Dinara Safina will test Mauresmo to the limit, although Mauresmo would undoubtedly have the fans' support should that encounter materialize.",
"Safina's standing as world number one has divided opinion.",
"The Russian is yet to win a grand slam and wasted another opportunity to end that particular hoodoo when losing to compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova in the French Open final last month.",

"SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- Convicted \"Unabomber\" Ted Kaczynski, who terrorized the country with a series of mail bombs over nearly two decades, is fighting to stop a public auction of his diaries and other personal possessions.",
"Kaczynski is fighting auction of possessions like this jacket and sunglasses made famous by a police sketch.",
"But Kaczynski's five-year legal battle will come to an end soon unless Kaczynski can convince the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.",
"\"I regard Kaczynski as the essence of evil.",
"Kaczynski's evil and amoral.",
"Kaczynski has no compassion,\" said Dr. Charles Epstein, who was seriously injured in 1993 when a bomb went off in a piece of mail Epstein opened at Epstein's home.",
"The blast destroyed both of Epstein's eardrums, and Epstein lost parts of three of Epstein's fingers.",
"Epstein, 75, is a world-renowned geneticist and retired professor at the University of California at San Francisco.",
"Epstein is one of four victims who are owed $15 million in court-ordered restitution from Kaczynski, and Epstein told CNN the auction was important to victims.",
"Watch why the auction is causing controversy » .",
"\"Who would think that we would still be sitting, this many years later, still having dealings ... with the man who tried to kill us?\" Epstein said.",
"Kaczynski was arrested in 1996, pleaded guilty in 1998 and is currently serving a life term in the federal \"Supermax\" prison in Florence, Colorado.",
"CNN was given exclusive access to videotape the items that will be up for auction, which were seized from the Montana cabin in which Kaczynski lived for years and held in evidence by the FBI in San Francisco and Washington.",
"See who else calls \"Supermax\" home » .",
"The property includes tools, typewriters, knives and a hatchet; Kaczynski's degrees from Harvard and the University of Michigan; and the glasses and hooded jacket made famous by an artist's rendering of the suspect.",
"But experts say the most valuable items probably will be the 40,000 pages of Kaczynski's diaries and other writings.",
"\"Personally, I don't think Kaczynski has any rights to anything,\" Epstein said.",
"\"I think Kaczynski abrogated all of Kaczynski's rights by Kaczynski's behavior.\"",
"The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the victims earlier this year, and now Kaczynski has until June 15 to file a notice of appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court.",
"Steve Hirsch, a California attorney who represents the victims, said he doubts the U.S. Supreme Court would consider an appeal, and thinks the auction could happen later this year.",
"A private company will handle the auction, but no company has yet been selected.",
"\"the victims were placed in this terrible position of either accepting this idea of an auction with all of its problems or letting Kaczynski have all of Kaczynski's things back, which would have been another wound for the victims,\" Hirsch told CNN.",
"In handwritten legal documents, in which Kaczynski refers to Kaczynski as \"K,\" he claims, \"The District Court's orders violate K's First Amendment rights.\"",
"\"The case involves the question of whether the government, consistent with the First Amendment, can confiscate an individual's personal papers and sell an individual at public auction to enforce payment of a debt,\" Kaczynski wrote in one of Kaczynski's numerous legal arguments.",
"Lawrence Brown, acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of California, said his office has no choice but to support the auction.",
"\"This is a directive from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals,\" he said.",
"\"We were put in a situation where it was sort of an either-or.",
"Either we returned all of the property back to Kaczynski, or we sought to maximize the property's value by holding an auction to put the property back towards the $15 million that's owed in restitution.\"",
"Kaczynski, now 67, killed three people and wounded 23 others in a string of attacks from 1978 to 1995.",
"The remainder of the victims have declined to seek restitution.",
"Federal agents gave the case the code name \"Unabom\" because universities and airlines were the early targets.",
"Kaczynski quit a tenure-track position at the University of California-Berkeley in 1969 to build a 13-by-13 foot shack near Lincoln, Montana, where Kaczynski lived without running water or electricity until Kaczynski's 1996 arrest.",
"Agents closed in after Kaczynski's brother noted similarities between Kaczynski's old letters and journals and the bomber's 35,000-word anti-technology manifesto.",
"The New York Times and the Washington Post agreed to publish the document under a promise that the bombings would stop.",
"\"If some funds are raised by this auction, to help out some of the victims, well, then that does help promote some level of justice,\" Brown said.",
"\"But you just cannot right the tremendous wrong that Kaczynski committed.\""

"The beer is flowing, the polka band is playing, and dancers are twirling across the dance floor.",
"Couples dance at Blob's Park, a dance hall that owes its revival, in part, to the economic downturn.",
"Blob's Park lives again.",
"The popular Bavarian beer hall and weekend nightspot had closed Blob's Park's doors in 2007, the victim of an unlikely foe: progress.",
"Developers, eager to build on the 400 acres of prime real estate in the bustling Baltimore/Washington, D.C., corridor, had purchased the 400 acres upon which the dance hall sat.",
"It was the end of an era for the farmland first owned by Max Blob, a German immigrant, who, among other things, helped found America's first \"Oktoberfest\" 70 years ago.",
"Blob was the great-uncle of Max Eggrel, who grew up on the land in Jessup, Maryland.",
"Standing on that farmland recently, Eggrel recalled the old days.",
"\"We would farm during the week and have a biergarten during the weekend,\" Eggrel says.",
"Those weekend events were held in a small, wood-framed building situated between rows of golden crops.",
"a small, wood-framed building situated between rows of golden crops would come to be known as Blob's Park, a restaurant, dance hall and German-style biergarten.",
"a small, wood-framed building situated between rows of golden crops opened in 1933.",
"Thousands of patrons came to know the dance hall, which saw most of its business on Friday and Saturday nights.",
"But time marched on, and developers came calling.",
"\"My brother ran the park until New Year's Eve (of 2007), and the rest of my family members decided, with the pressure from developers, to sell land,\" Eggrel says.",
"\"land butts right up to Fort Meade and the NSA (National Security Agency) facility,\" Eggrel explains.",
"Fort Meade is currently going through major renovation and upgrades on Fort Meade's facility.",
"Fort Meade is part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program implemented by the Department of Defense in 2005 that will see thousands of new jobs on base.",
"With all these jobs comes a need for housing, Eggrel says.",
"\"There are people that are going to be working there, and people that are going to be working there are going to have to live somewhere, and so this is one of the spots.\"",
"Private developers are expected to build townhomes, condominiums and retail storefronts on the rolling hills of farmland where Blob's Park stands.",
"But that's somewhere in the future.",
"For now, the economic crisis gripping the country has played a role in the revival of Blob's Park.",
"With the economic slowdown, developers couldn't see spending all the money on building upon land since there currently isn't a demand.",
"\"The infrastructure is going to take time to develop.",
"There is no water or sewer on land right now,\" adds Eggrel, who still lives on land.",
"Once land was sold and Blob's Park shut down, Eggrel found Eggrel gazing out Eggrel's front yard at the facade of a dance hall and all the open space surrounding it.",
"\"The building was sitting there, just inviting someone to jump in and bring The building back,\" Eggrel says.",
"That's exactly what Eggrel set out to do.",
"But it wouldn't be an easy task.",
"\"To open The building back up took a sizable financial risk,\" Eggrel says.",
"\"I just had the vision that The building could succeed again and be bigger then The building was before, and I was just willing to take a sizable financial risk.\"",
"Eggrel took Eggrel's idea to the developers and a few attorneys.",
"the developers agreed to rent 40 acres of land back to Eggrel, a small portion compared to the land Eggrel grew up on, but it gave Eggrel the right to reopen the doors to Blob's Park.",
"Eggrel spent five months renovating The building, and in January 2009 Eggrel and Eggrel's employees reopened the doors to the public.",
"Watch the action on the dance floor » .",
"The building currently has a three-year lease, but Eggrel speculates the dancing could go on for as many as 10 years -- or so Eggrel hopes.",
"Eggrel says Eggrel's customers share a deep affection for Eggrel's place.",
"For $8, his customers can listen to or dance to live musicians who play for five hours every Friday and Saturday night.",
"The customers who keep coming back to the hall week after week have as much fondness for The building as the owner himself.",
"\"Every week someone else comes up to me and thanks me for opening it back up,\" Eggrel says.",
"As for the economy and Blob's Park, Eggrel has this to say: \"I hope it takes a long time to rebound.",
"The longer The building stays open, the happier I'll be.",
"And so will hundreds of other people.\""

"A man suspected of fatally shooting an Iowa football coach Wednesday was released from a hospital the day before, without the knowledge of police, who had asked to be notified, authorities said.",
"Thomas had been with the school district for more than 30 years and was well-known in the region.",
"Mark Becker, 24, faces first-degree murder charges in the death of Ed Thomas, 58, a longtime football coach at Aplington-Parkersburg High School.",
"Investigators believe Becker walked into Aplington-Parkersburg High School's weight room, where Thomas was overseeing athletes' weight lifting, about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday and shot Thomas multiple times as about 20 horrified students looked on.",
"Thomas was flown to a hospital, where Thomas later died.",
"\"It's just too early to speculate\" on a motive for the shooting, said Kevin Winker, assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.",
"Authorities said Becker was a former student at Aplington-Parkersburg, which is about 100 miles northeast of Des Moines, Iowa, and a former football player.",
"The agency, however, noted that Becker had \"recent contact\" with police in Cedar Falls, Iowa, about 25 miles to the east of Parkersburg.",
"On June 20, Becker led police on a high-speed chase after Becker allegedly broke into a man's house, according to a division statement.",
"Becker was taken into custody, but early the next morning authorities determined Becker needed medical attention and Becker was taken to a hospital.",
"Police asked to be notified when Becker was released, a division statement said.",
"But on Tuesday, Becker was released and spent the night at Becker's parents' Parkersburg home before heading to the high school Wednesday morning, the division said.",
"\"Law enforcement was unaware that Becker had been released.\"",
"Cedar Falls police earlier said in a statement that Cedar Falls police responded June 20 to a report of a man breaking several windows in a Cedar Falls home with a baseball bat and driving Becker's car through a garage door.",
"Just before officers arrived, Becker fled the scene in Becker's car and was seen leaving the area.",
"Becker was arrested after a pursuit that reached speeds of more than 80 mph, Cedar Falls police said.",
"Becker was taken into custody by Butler County authorities and later taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, according to the statement.",
"\"Cedar Falls police was awaiting notification that the subject was to be released from custody in order to arrest Becker and file the charges relevant to the Cedar Falls incident,\" according to the statement.",
"Becker faces felony charges of criminal mischief and eluding authorities, along with traffic offenses, in the Cedar Falls incident, Cedar Falls police said.",
"Winker would not provide further details about why Becker was transported to a hospital.",
"A 911 call was received at 7:47 a.m. Wednesday regarding the high school shooting, the Division of Criminal Investigation said.",
"Becker was located in the driveway of Becker's parents' home, where Becker was arrested without incident.",
"Coincidentally, Becker had been released from the same hospital where Becker's alleged victim died -- Covenant Hospital in Waterloo, Iowa.",
"Thomas had been with the school district since 1975 and was a regionally well-known coach, according to district Superintendent Jon Thompson.",
"The coach's son, Aaron Thomas, spoke briefly to reporters Wednesday, saying that his father would want to be remembered not only as a coach, teacher and father, but also for Becker's involvement in Becker's church, calling Becker \"a man of deep faith who touched many lives.\"",
"\"God always has a reason,\" he said.",
"\"At this time, it's very tough for us to understand that.\"",
"He thanked the community for an outpouring of support, recalling residents' struggle to rebuild after a deadly tornado struck the Parkersburg area last year.",
"But he also reminded residents to have concern and compassion for Becker's family.",
"\"We ask that people pray for them as well, and that people take time to comfort and be with them,\" he said.",
"\"I know that my father's legacy ... will live on,\" Aaron Thomas said.",
"\"Without a doubt, we're going to miss Thomas.",
"We will have many great memories to share and to think back upon.",

"The school was placed on lockdown immediately.",
"Crisis counselors were on the scene to assist students who witnessed the shooting, Thompson said.",
"A vigil was planned in Thomas's honor Wednesday night.",

"HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) --",
"Raúl Castro misinterpreted Cuban President Raúl Castro's offer to start talks with the United States, Fidel Castro's brother Fidel said Wednesday, appearing to dismiss the U.S. leader's call for Cuba to release political prisoners.",
"Fidel Castro appears with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, left, and brother Raúl Castro in a photo released in June.",
"In an essay published in state-run newspapers Wednesday, the ailing revolutionary leader said the people Washington calls political prisoners are \"in the service of a foreign power that threatens and blockades our homeland.\"",
"Fidel Castro's comments come after signs of a thaw in the decades-old impasse between the United States and the communist-ruled island to its south.",
"Raúl Castro lifted all restrictions on visits and money transfers between American citizens and relatives in Cuba this month, while Raúl Castro said Cuba is prepared to talk with the United States about \"everything -- human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners.\"",
"Speaking at a conference of inter-American and Caribbean leaders Sunday, Raúl Castro said the Cuban leader's declaration was \"a sign of progress.\"",
"Raúl Castro added that the Cuban government could send a much clearer, more positive signal by releasing political prisoners or reducing fees charged on remittances Americans send to relatives in Cuba.",
"But Fidel Castro wrote Wednesday, \"There is no doubt that Raúl Castro misinterpreted Raúl's statements.\"",
"\"When the president of Cuba said Raúl Castro was ready to discuss any topic with the U.S. president, Raúl Castro meant Raúl Castro was not afraid of addressing any issue,\" Fidel Castro wrote.",
"\"That shows Raúl Castro's courage and confidence on the principles of the revolution.\"",
"Raúl Castro said Cuba would be willing to release prisoners held since a 2003 crackdown on dissidents if the United States would release five Cubans convicted of spying in 2001.",
"And Fidel Castro criticized Obama for not doing more to lift the U.S. embargo on Cuba, imposed in 1962.",
"\"Should we wait for so many years before Raúl Castro's blockade is lifted?\" Fidel Castro asked.",
"\"Raúl Castro did not invent it, but Raúl Castro embraced it just as much as the previous 10 U.S. presidents did.\"",
"Fidel Castro ceded power to Fidel Castro's brother in 2006 before undergoing surgery for a still-undisclosed intestinal condition.",
"But Fidel Castro remains head of the Communist Party, and Fidel Castro's essay raises the question of who would be calling the shots in any talks with Washington.",
"\"Who's in charge?\" one Havana man asked Wednesday.",
"\"Raul -- ah, Fidel -- ah, Raúl.\"",
"But a woman who spoke to CNN said, \"Raúl Castro is Raúl.",
"Raúl Castro's the one you have to listen to now.\""

"LIMA, Peru (CNN) --",
"Peru's Congress voted overwhelmingly to revoke two decrees that indigenous groups had said would result in the exploitation of indigenous groups's native lands for oil drilling, mining and logging.",
"A man shouts slogans at a demonstration in Lima against the Garcia government on June 11.",
"The 82-14 vote on Thursday with no abstentions came after five hours of intense debate.",
"\"Today is a historic day,\" said Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle, in a statement on the group's Web site.",
"Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle repeated the group's call this week to the group's members to abandon further opposition efforts, including blockades of rivers and roads.",
"\"My brothers from Yurimaguas affirmed that My brothers from Yurimaguas will return to My brothers from Yurimaguas's communities as soon as the legislative decrees are repealed,\" Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle said.",
"\"the group are thankful because the will of the indigenous people has been heard and the group only hope that, in the future, government will pay attention to and listen to the people and not legislate behind the people's backs.\"",
"However, despite praising President Alan Garcia for supporting the revocation of the legislative decrees, Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle said that had he done so earlier, lives might have been saved.",
"Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle called for the repealing of seven remaining legislative decrees and the immediate lifting of the state of emergency and curfew in the city of Bagua.",
"And Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle asked the government to stop the political persecution of Daysi Zapata, vice president of the Interethnic Association for Development of the Peruvian Jungle's group's leaders, including Alberto Pizango, who faces charges in Peru related to the clashes.",
"He flew this week to Nicaragua where he was granted asylum.",
"The vote came a day after President Alan Garcia's cabinet chief, Yehude Simon, called on lawmakers to repeal the laws which have created tension between the government and indigenous communities in the Amazon.",
"Striking the contentious Forestry and Wildlife Law and a related decree -- laws that Congress had voted last week to suspend indefinitely -- \"will prevent more blood from being spilled,\" Simon said Wednesday.",
"\"the government must have the wisdom to know when the government's best to back down,\" Andina cited Simon as saying.",
"Simon announced this week that Simon will resign once peace is restored.",
"Simon's call marked a turnaround, considering that last week, Simon called the repealing of laws in response to the protest the equivalent of bowing to extortion.",
"Violence earlier this month in northwest Peru left more than 30 dead and more than 50 wounded, according to reports.",
"Indian rights advocates put the number of dead and missing higher, with some groups saying more than 100 were killed or missing.",
"the legislative decrees were part of numerous decrees that President Alan Garcia passed through special powers awarded to President Alan Garcia by Congress last year with the goal of having Peru meet rules set in a free trade agreement with the United States.",
"The decrees made it easier for companies to gain concessions for oil drilling, mining and logging, including on indigenous lands.",
"The forestry law, in particular, removed some 45 million hectares (more than 170,000 square miles) of Peruvian jungle from the government's list of protected lands.",
"the government is taking three major steps to address protesters' concerns, Vicki Gass, senior associate for rights and development at the Washington Office on Latin America told CNN.",
"Those include requesting to repeal the legislative decrees, ending a state of emergency in the Amazon area and forming a working group with the indigenous groups, Vicki Gass said.",
"the government's responses have diffused tensions, but \"had the government done this process of consultation earlier, we wouldn't have seen the blockades, and avoided the violence,\" Vicki Gass said.",
"The real test for the government will be how seriously officials listen to the concerns of indigenous citizens, Vicki Gass said.",
"\"These are positive steps, but the question is the process -- will they really allow for detailed debate?\" Vicki Gass said.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Savana Redding won a partial victory of Savana Redding's Supreme Court appeal Thursday in a case testing the discretion of officials to ensure classroom safety.",
"Savana Redding leaves the U.S Supreme Court in April.",
"Savana Redding was 13 when Savana Redding was strip-searched.",
"Savana Redding was 13 when administrators suspected that Savana Redding was carrying banned drugs.",
"No medication was found, and Savana Redding later sued.",
"Justices concluded that Search was unreasonable but that individual school administrators could not be sued.",
"The larger issue of whether a campus setting traditionally gives schools greater authority over students suspected of illegal activity than police are allowed was not addressed fully by Justices.",
"\"Savana's subjective expectation of privacy against such a search is inherent in Savana Redding's account of it as embarrassing, frightening and humiliating,\" wrote Justice David Souter for the majority, likely Justice David Souter's last opinion before Justice David Souter steps down from the bench next week.",
"But reflecting the divisiveness over the issue, Justice David Souter said, \"Justices think these differences of opinion from Justices's own are substantial enough to require immunity for the school officials in this case.\"",
"Whether the school district would be liable was not an issue before Justices.",
"\"I'm pretty excited that Justices agreed with me, Justices see that it was wrong for the school to do that,\" Redding said from her Hobbs, New Mexico, home after the ruling was announced.",
"\"I'm pretty certain that it's so far less likely to happen again\" to other students.",
"Redding was an eighth-grade honor student in 2003, with no history of disciplinary problems at Safford Middle School, about 127 miles from Tucson, Arizona.",
"During an investigation into pills found at Safford Middle School, a student told the vice principal that Savana Redding had given her prescription-strength 400-milligram ibuprofen pills.",
"The school had a near-zero-tolerance policy for all prescription and over-the-counter medication, including the ibuprofen, without prior written permission.",
"Savana Redding was pulled from class by Vice Principal Kerry Wilson, escorted to an office and confronted with the evidence.",
"Savana Redding denied the accusations.",
"A search of Savana Redding's backpack found nothing.",
"A strip search was conducted by Vice Principal Kerry Wilson's assistant and a school nurse, both females.",
"Savana Redding was ordered to strip to Savana Redding's underwear and to pull on the elastic of her underwear, so any hidden pills might fall out, according to court records.",
"No drugs were found.",
"\"A strip search was the most humiliating experience I have ever had,\" Redding said in an affidavit.",
"\"I held my head down so that they could not see that I was about to cry.\"",
"Souter said Vice Principal Kerry Wilson initially had \"sufficient suspicion\" to justify searching Redding's backpack and outer clothing.",
"But when no contraband was found, the officials went too far by continuing the search of her underwear.",
"With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, Savana Redding and Savana Redding's family sued, and a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled against the school, calling A strip search \"traumatizing\" and illegal.",
"a federal appeals court in San Francisco said the school went too far in the school's effort to create a drug- and crime-free classroom.",
"Justices found little agreement on key issues.",
"Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed that Search was illegal but would have also made individual officials liable for damages by Redding.",
"\"Vice Principal Kerry Wilson's treatment of Savana Redding was abusive, and it was not reasonable for Vice Principal Kerry Wilson to believe that the law permitted it,\" said Ginsburg, who was especially forceful during oral arguments in April, criticizing the school's actions.",
"But Justice Clarence Thomas took the opposite view: that administrators deserved immunity and that Search was permissible.",
"\"Preservation of order, discipline and safety in public schools is simply not the domain of the Constitution,\" Justice Clarence Thomas said.",
"\"And, common sense is not a judicial monopoly or a constitutional imperative.\"",
"In 1985, Justices allowed the search of a student's purse after she was suspected of hiding cigarettes.",
"Such a search was permitted if there were \"reasonable\" grounds for believing that it would turn up evidence and when the search was not \"excessively intrusive.\"",
"Opinions in 1995 and 2001 allowed schools to conduct random drug testing of high school athletes and those participating in other extracurricular activities.",
"Justices was being asked to clarify the extent of student rights involving searches and the discretion of officials regarding those they have responsibility over.",
"Adam Wolf, an ACLU attorney who represented Redding, applauded the decision.",
"\"When parents send parents's kids to school, parents can now breathe a sigh of relief parents will not end up naked before school officials,\" Adam Wolf, an ACLU attorney who represented Redding said .",
"But school administrators said the ruling does not make school administrators's jobs any easier.",
"\"The home medicine cabinet now poses a serious threat to students, who may take those medications for abusive purposes,\" said Francisco Negron, general counsel for the National School Boards Association.",
"\"That's a problem schools are trying to stem.\"",
"\"How they determine now whether the drug is dangerous, whether it's not dangerous -- that kind of clarity and that kind of guidance, Justices did not give us.\"",
"Redding, now 19, said Savana Redding has never gotten over Savana Redding's experience.",
"\"Before it happened, I loved school, loved everything about it.",
"You know, I had a 4.0 GPA, honor roll, and now, well, afterwards I never wanted to go to school again.\"",
"Savana Redding is attending college.",
"The case is Safford Unified School District No. 1 v. Redding (08-479)."

"These are iconic images, the kinds of shots that changed the way people viewed history as it unfolded.",
"They put human faces on conflicts and became rallying cries for movements, inspiring those who demanded change.",
"But while these photographs -- chronicling a single, silent moment -- were taken by seasoned photographers, two of whom won Pulitzer Prizes, this time amateur cell phone video is grabbing worldwide attention.",
"It captures the death of a young woman named Neda Agha-Soltan, galvanizing protesters in Iran and shaping perceptions of a land and people few Westerners know.",
"See how images have inspired change » .",
"\"Every revolution needs icons and symbols -- an image that embodies a sense of universality of blight and at the same time innocence,\" said Roya Hakakian of Connecticut, a writer, poet and journalist who was born and raised in Iran.",
"\"The image of Neda does both.\"",
"The graphic video of Neda's death, caused by a gunshot fired during a protest in Tehran, Iran, records Neda's final moments: Neda's eyes turn toward the camera, people scream and struggle to revive Neda while blood streams across Neda's face.",
"Watch how Neda's proven to be a tipping point » .",
"Having gone viral with the help of social networking sites such as Twitter, the video of Neda's death has earned her the highly revered status of martyr.",
"Neda is now known as the \"Angel of Iran\" and is inspiring poetry.",
"Neda is mourned publicly despite Revolutionary Guard threats, and Neda's likeness graces posters.",
"For Hakakian, who left Iran about 25 years ago, the significance of Neda's image runs deep.",
"She said it's part of a larger picture of current protests being propelled by women, and a reflection of the Iran and the Iranians she knows.",
"What outsiders have seen over the past three decades, she said, are fist-pumping men decrying America, images of hostages and \"the burning of Uncle Sam effigies.\"",
"Americans, she continued, have gotten to know little beyond the talk of Hezbollah and Hamas support, discussions of nuclear bombs and the rants of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling for, among other things, the destruction of Israel.",
"\"We come from different corners of the world, but we see the same thing,\" Hakakian said of the video of Neda's death.",
"\"You don't need to be Iranian.",
"You don't need to be Neda's neighbor.",
"You don't need to know Neda's name. ...",
"Anyone can watch this and come away with the sense of injustice and what's taking place, and I think that's why it's catching on.\"",
"Graphic images have long played a role in driving social awareness and change, said Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma.",

"And the brutalized body of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy killed in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman, was shown at the insistence of his mother at his funeral, galvanizing the civil rights movement, Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma said.",
"In more recent years, amateur video was credited with capturing the 1991 beating by Los Angeles police of Rodney King.",
"And the first images out of Virginia Tech during the 2007 campus shooting were taken by students before professionals could hit the scene, added Nora Paul, founding director of the Institute for New Media Studies at the University of Minnesota.",
"The challenge today, in a time when anyone can post images, is making sure graphic photos or videos are put in context and used by news organizations in a way that moves stories forward, both Paul and Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma agreed.",
"While news outlets may blur faces, offer warnings to viewers or not even use some images, the vastness of the Internet means that once they are out there -- no matter how horrifying or inappropriate for viewers -- it's next to impossible to stop them from being circulated.",
"\"Even if you try to control access, the dam is already broken,\" Paul said.",
"As for the impact on viewers, the effect of disturbing and violent images is hard to measure, said Elana Newman, who teaches psychology at the University of Tulsa and is a specialist in psychological trauma.",
"An image often can communicate \"the depths of pain\" in a way that words alone cannot, Elana Newman, who teaches psychology at the University of Tulsa and is a specialist in psychological trauma said.",
"But Elana Newman, who teaches psychology at the University of Tulsa and is a specialist in psychological trauma added scholars often debate whether such images turn people away from news, desensitize people or bolster a story's credibility.",
"And there is also the challenge to consider of \"balancing the privacy of the victim with the importance of telling the story.\"",
"Elana Newman, who teaches psychology at the University of Tulsa and is a specialist in psychological trauma's own opinion?",
"\"These images are helpful when these events are far away,\" Elana Newman, who teaches psychology at the University of Tulsa and is a specialist in psychological trauma said, because These images can bring home a story.",
"These images, however, are \"not helpful to people when people're in people's own backyard.\"",
"And the impact on the person who captures the image is often untold.",
"John Filo was a senior photography student at Kent State when John Filo snapped the photo that became a symbol of the shootings on campus and helped propel the anti-war movement at the time.",
"John Filo doesn't remember going through six rolls of film that day, but John Filo remembers being shot at and is all too aware that a mere feet -- even inches -- separated John Filo from life or death.",
"In 13 seconds, four students were killed and nine were wounded.",
"It took \"a good nine years\" for John Filo to sort through the experience, John Filo told CNN.",
"John Filo's relationships suffered, as did John Filo's confidence as a photographer.",
"John Filo grappled with survivor's guilt, the images John Filo saw but didn't share and the anxiety about how John Filo's work affected other people's lives.",
"\"Everyone that was there that day was affected,\" said Filo, now director of photography for CBS media relations.",
"\"At least I had something to do that day.",

"Francis Ouimet's shock win 1913",

"American journeyman Lucas Glover denies Phil Mickelson, a perennial bridesmaid at the event, a fairytale victory at Bethpage Black.",

"DreamWorks is \"a company with unrivaled resources for making epic films of the highest quality, offers an unprecedented opportunity for educating the largest possible audience about our father's legacy as the leader of America's greatest nonviolent movement,\" Dexter King said.",
"\"Just as Sir Richard Attenborough's film, 'Gandhi,' educated many millions of people all over the world about the Mahatma's teachings, I believe this project can do the same regarding the life, work and teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., and I sincerely hope my brother and sister will join us in supporting this urgently needed project,\" Dexter King said.",
"Tom Houck, an Atlanta public relations agent who has known King since the 1960s, when he was King's father's driver, suggested the dispute could be resolved.",
"\"I don't think that either Bernice King or Bernice are opposed to having a megafilm done on the big screen by DreamWorks, but I think it's the mechanism and the way it was done that's got them upset,\" Tom Houck, an Atlanta public relations agent who has known all three children since the 1960s, when he was their father's driver said.",
"\"They're feeling that, until they resolve some problems with Dexter King, that they're not going to be very forthcoming in letting this project go forward,\" he said.",
"Tom Houck, an Atlanta public relations agent who has known all three children since the 1960s, when he was their father's driver suggested someone such as the Rev. Andrew Young, a close aide to the patriarch during the civil-rights movement, might be able to help the siblings reconcile.",
"Young is a former Atlanta mayor and former U.N. ambassador.",
"\"Bernice King and Bernice want to have some reconciliation with Dexter King before King sign off on it,\" Tom Houck, an Atlanta public relations agent who has known all three children since the 1960s, when he was their father's driver said."

"The condition causes a person to lose melanin, the pigment that determines the color of skin, hair and eyes, in patches or all over the body.",

"I do not know the extent of the medications that Jackson was taking,\" Jackson said.",
"Cardiac arrest, distinct from heart attack, affects about 300,000 Americans every year, Dr. Clyde Yancy of the American Heart Association told CNN.",
"Without immediate efforts to resuscitate a person, the survival rate is usually 5 percent to 15 percent, Dr. Clyde Yancy of the American Heart Association said.",
