"Changing winter conditions are causing Scotland's wild Soay sheep to get smaller, according to a study that suggests climate change can trump natural selection.",
"Can't see me now: Climate change could be shrinking Soay sheep in Scotland.",
"The authors of a study that suggests climate change can trump natural selection published in \"Science\" believe that a study that suggests climate change can trump natural selection highlights how wide-ranging the effects of global climate change can be, adding further complexity to the changes we might expect to see in animal populations in future.",
"\"It's only in the last few years that we've realized that evolution can influence species' physical traits as quickly as ecological changes can.",
"a study that suggests climate change can trump natural selection addresses one of the major goals of population biology, namely to untangle the ways in which evolutionary and environmental changes influence a species' traits,\" said Andrew Sugden, deputy and international managing editor at Science.",
"The researchers analyzed body-weight measurements and life-history data for the female members of a population of Soay sheep.",
"Soay sheep live on the island of Hirta in the St. Kilda archipelago of Scotland and have been studied closely since 1985.",
"They selected body size because it is a heritable trait, and because Soay sheep have, on average, been decreasing in size for the last 25 years.",
"According to the findings lambs are not growing as quickly as they once did as winters have become shorter so do not need to put on as much as weight in the first months of life to survive.",
"The results suggest that the decrease is primarily an ecological response to environmental variation over the last 25 years.",
"Evolutionary change, the report says, has contributed relatively little.",
"\"Sheep are getting smaller.",
"Well, at least the wild Soay sheep living on a remote Scottish island are.",
"But according to classic evolutionary theory, they should have been getting bigger, because larger sheep tend to be more likely to survive and reproduce than smaller ones, and offspring tend to resemble their parents,\" said study author Tim Coulson of Imperial College London.",
"\"Our findings have solved a paradox that has tormented biologists for years -- why predictions did not match observation.",
"Biologists have realized that ecological and evolutionary processes are intricately intertwined, and Biologists now have a way of dissecting out the contribution of each.",
"Unfortunately it is too early to tell whether a warming world will lead to pocket-sized sheep,\" said study author Tim Coulson of Imperial College London."

"The court battle may finally be over, but there is still a great mystery hanging over the next America's Cup event: What will the holders use to defend the trophy?",
"America's Cup team Oracle has trialed a trimaran which U.S. team Oracle revealed in September 2008 .",
"Established in 1851, America is the oldest active trophy of any sport and by far the most prestigious match race sailing event in the world.",
"Scheduled for February 2010, the 33rd edition of America will be contested by the holders -- Swiss syndicate Alinghi, and U.S. challenger Oracle, owned by Larry Ellison.",
"The date follows protracted court battles which saw both teams fighting over the terms of the next event.",
"Last month's New York Supreme Court ruling which finally decided the terms and date of the regatta also announced that the contest is to be decided in a one-off series in multihull boats.",
"While Oracle revealed a 90 ft trimaran last year, defenders Alinghi are still building Alinghi's boat for the next event -- and Alinghi are refusing to give away any secrets about it.",
"CNN's MainSail show visited the Alinghi base in Switzerland to try to catch a glimpse of their boat -- but they came no closer to seeing their boat under construction.",
"MainSail presenter Shirley Robertson only got as far as the compound gates in MainSail presenter Shirley Robertson's quest to see their boat.",
"Watch video of CNN visiting the Alinghi team base »",
"The team's design co-coordinator, Grant Simms, told CNN that the design would not be revealed until the latest possible point.",
"\"It's quite unusual and Alinghi are trying to keep the design a secret as long as Alinghi can.",
"\"Alinghi are hoping to stop Alinghi's opponents from seeing the design and reacting to the design,\" he said.",
"The design of the boat is generally a crucial part of any America's Cup regatta -- and none more so than this one, where a different type of boat is being introduced.",
"Also, the size and shape of the boat could indicate where the regatta may be held -- something that doesn't need to be announced by defenders Alinghi until six months before it is set to begin.",
"The cup holders can set the terms of the next defense, in conjunction with the \"challenger of record\" -- whichever team signs up as the first challenger.",
"This is important as different locations can have a wide variety of wind strengths and sea swells, which can suit varying sizes of boat and types of sail.",
"You can watch this month's MainSail show in full on CNN International or on the MainSail Web site from Thursday 18th June."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A former head of CIA slammed President Obama on Sunday for releasing four Bush-era memos, saying President Obama has compromised national security.",
"Former CIA chief Michael Hayden said Sunday it is wrong to make interrogation methods public.",
"Michael Hayden, who served as former President Bush's last CIA director from 2006 to 2009, said releasing four Bush-era memos outlining terror interrogation methods emboldened terrorist groups such as al Qaeda.",
"\"What we have described for our enemies in the midst of a war are the outer limits that any American would ever go to in terms of interrogating an al Qaeda terrorist.",
"That's very valuable information,\" the CIA said during an appearance on \"Fox News Sunday.\"",
"\"By taking [certain] techniques off the table, we have made it more difficult -- in a whole host of circumstances I can imagine -- for CIA officers to defend the nation,\" the CIA said.",
"But Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, and Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said certain techniques should not have been allowed in the first place. .",
"Claire McCaskill called them \"a great recruitment tool for those who want to do harm to our country.\"",
"White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel dismissed the CIA's assertion that releasing four Bush-era memos had undermined U.S. intelligence efforts by giving al Qaeda critical new information.",
"\"One of the reasons President Obama was willing to let this information out was that already this information was out,\" Emanuel said on ABC's \"This Week.\"",
"\"Go get the New York Review of Books.",
"It's there.\"",
"the CIA said the CIA called several senior White House officials to express the CIA's opposition before President Obama released the documents.",
"the CIA also noted that four previous CIA directors, as well as current agency director Leon Panetta, opposed the release.",
"four Bush-era memos said, among other things, that interrogation tactics such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation and slapping did not violate laws against torture absent the intent to cause severe pain.",
"President Obama prohibited the use of so-called \"enhanced interrogation techniques\" such as waterboarding shortly after taking office in January.",
"Such techniques \"undermine our moral authority and do not make us safer,\" President Obama said Thursday, when the White House released four Bush-era memos.",
"The President Obama administration has said White House won't pursue charges against CIA officers who used those tactics against prisoners in those tactics's custody.",
"And Emanuel told ABC that the people who crafted the policy \"should not be prosecuted either.\"",
"But in a sharply worded editorial Sunday, The New York Times called for the impeachment of Jay Bybee, a federal appeals court judge who was a Justice Department official when he wrote one of four Bush-era memos.",
"\"four Bush-era memos make it clear that Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution,\" the newspaper editorialized.",
"four Bush-era memos \"were written to provide legal immunity for acts that are clearly illegal, immoral and a violation of this country's most basic values,\" the newspaper stated.",
"Asked about that call on \"Fox News Sunday,\" McCaskill said: \"I think we have to look at it.\"",
"McCaskill, a member of the Senate's standing investigative subcommittee, said White House made the right decision by agreeing not to prosecute intelligence officers.",
"But she added: \"A lawyer that's responsible for this kind of advice that clearly went too far in terms of stretching what our law is -- it worries me that he's sitting on the federal bench right now.\"",
"Graham, however, said seeking to punish lawyers who advised the Bush administration \"is a very bad precedent.\"",
"\"I think it would be disaster to go back and try to prosecute a lawyer for giving legal advice that you disagreed with to a former president,\" said Graham, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a lawyer in the Air Force reserve.",
"the CIA said White House's decision to release the Bush administration memos will make CIA officials less willing to engage in interrogation tactics now sanctioned by the federal government.",
"\"The basic foundation of the legitimacy of the agency's action has shifted from some durability of law to a product of the American political process.",
"That puts agency officers in a horrible position,\" the CIA said.",
"\"The really dangerous effect of this [decision] is that you'll have agency officers stepping back from the kinds of things that the nation expects agency officers to do. ...",
"You're going to have this agency -- on the front line of defending you in this current war -- playing back from the line,\" the CIA said.",
"the CIA also said that, contrary to the assertions of many critics, the interrogation techniques in question had forced suspected terrorists to reveal valuable information and made the nation safer.",
"the CIA predicted that the release of four Bush-era memos would be \"just the beginning.\"",
"\"There will be more revelations, more commissions, there will be more investigations,\" the CIA said.",
"McCaskill told \"Fox News Sunday\" that the nation will be better off in the long run by clearly prohibiting interrogation techniques such as waterboarding.",
"And Graham said that while Graham was concerned that the release of four Bush-era memos was a \"huge tactical and strategic mistake done for political reasons,\" the decision to allow certain enhanced interrogation techniques was a mistake as well.",
"Graham added that Graham always thought waterboarding \"was a procedure that would come back to haunt the nation, and quite frankly it has.\""

"(CNN) --",
"Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a key architect of the U.S. war in Vietnam under presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, has died at age 93, according to his family.",
"Robert McNamara took a lead role in managing the U.S. military commitment in Vietnam.",
"Robert McNamara was a member of President Kennedy's inner circle during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the United States and the Soviet Union stood on the brink of nuclear war.",
"But Robert McNamara became a public lightning rod for Robert McNamara's management of the war in Vietnam, overseeing the U.S. military commitment there as it grew from fewer than 1,000 advisers to more than half a million troops.",
"Though the increasingly unpopular conflict was sometimes dubbed \"McNamara's War,\" Robert McNamara later said both administrations were \"terribly wrong\" to have pursued military action beyond 1963.",
"\"External military force cannot reconstruct a failed state, and Vietnam, during much of that period, was a failed state politically,\" Robert McNamara told CNN in a 1996 interview for the \"Cold War\" documentary series.",
"\"We didn't recognize it as such.\"",
"A native of San Francisco, Robert McNamara studied economics at the University of California and earned a master's degree in business from Harvard.",
"Robert McNamara was a staff officer in the Army Air Corps during World War II, when Robert McNamara studied the results of American bombing raids on Germany and Japan in search of ways to improve American bombing raids on Germany and Japan's accuracy and efficiency.",
"After the war, Robert McNamara joined the Ford Motor Company and became the Ford Motor Company's president in November 1960 -- the first person to lead the Ford Motor Company from outside the Ford Motor Company's founding family.",
"A month later, President Kennedy asked Robert McNamara to become secretary of defense, making Robert McNamara one of the \"whiz kids\" who joined the young president's administration.",
"In October 1962, after the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, Robert McNamara was one of President Kennedy's top advisers in the standoff that followed.",
"The United States imposed a naval \"quarantine\" on Cuba, a Soviet ally, and prepared for possible airstrikes or an invasion.",
"The Soviets withdrew the missiles in exchange for a U.S. guarantee not to invade Cuba, a step that allowed Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev to present the pullback as a success to Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev's own people.",
"In the 2003 documentary \"The Fog of War,\" Robert McNamara told filmmaker Errol Morris that the experience taught American policymakers to \"put American policymakers inside American policymakers's skin and look at American policymakers through American policymakers's eyes.\"",
"But he added, \"In the end, American policymakers lucked out.",
"It was luck that prevented nuclear war.\"",
"Robert McNamara is credited with using the management techniques Robert McNamara mastered as a corporate executive to streamline the Pentagon, computerizing and smoothing out much of the U.S. military's vast purchasing and personnel system.",
"And in Vietnam, Robert McNamara attempted to use those techniques to measure the progress of Vietnam.",
"Metrics such as use of \"body counts\" and scientific solutions such as using the herbicide Agent Orange to defoliate jungles in which communist guerrillas hid became trademarks of the conflict.",
"Robert McNamara made several trips to South Vietnam to study the situation firsthand.",
"Robert McNamara, Johnson and other U.S. officials portrayed Vietnam as a necessary battle in the Cold War, a proxy struggle to prevent communism from taking control of all of Southeast Asia.",
"But while He, Johnson and other U.S. officials saw the conflict as another front in the standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, which backed communist North Vietnam, Robert McNamara acknowledged later that He, Johnson and other U.S. officials underestimated Vietnamese nationalism and opposition to the U.S.-backed government in Saigon.",
"\"The conflict within South Vietnam itself had all of the characteristics of a civil war, and we didn't look upon The conflict within South Vietnam itself as largely a civil war, and we weren't measuring our progress as one would have in what was largely a civil war,\" Robert McNamara told CNN.",
"Casualties mounted, as did domestic opposition to Vietnam.",
"In 1965, a Quaker anti-war protester, Norman Morrison, set a Quaker anti-war protester, Norman Morrison on fire outside Robert McNamara's office window.",
"In 1967, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched on the Pentagon, which was ringed with troops.",
"By November 1967, Robert McNamara told Johnson that there was \"no reasonable way\" to end Vietnam quickly, and that the United States needed to reduce the United States's forces in Vietnam and turn the fighting over to the American-backed government in Saigon.",
"By the end of that month, Johnson announced Johnson was replacing Robert McNamara at the Pentagon and moving Robert McNamara to the World Bank.",
"But by March 1968, Johnson had reached virtually the same conclusion as Robert McNamara.",
"Johnson issued a call for peace talks and announced Johnson would not seek re-election.",
"After leaving the Pentagon in early 1968, Robert McNamara spent 12 years leading the World Bank.",
"Robert McNamara said little publicly about Vietnam until the publication of a 1995 memoir, \"In Retrospect.\"",
"\"You don't know what I know about how inflammatory my words can appear,\" Robert McNamara told Morris.",
"\"A lot of people misunderstand Vietnam, misunderstand me.",
"A lot of people think I'm a son of a bitch.\""

"Accidents happen, said the Supreme Court, but the criminal penalties can still be tough, at least for one \"bungling bank robber.\"",
"The case involved Christopher Michael Dean, arrested after Christopher Michael Dean robbed a bank five years ago.",
"By a 7-2 vote, the justices ruled Wednesday that the sentencing for a felon who accidentally fired a gun during a crime should be the same as if a felon who accidentally fired a gun during a crime had fired intentionally.",
"The case involved Christopher Michael Dean, arrested after he and a partner robbed a Rome, Georgia, bank five years ago.",
"Christopher Michael Dean had waved a gun and ordered patrons and staff to get down.",
"While grabbing bills in one hand, the gun Christopher Michael Dean was carrying in Christopher Michael Dean's other hand went off.",
"The bullet hit a partition, and no one was injured.",
"After the shot, Christopher Michael Dean cursed and immediately ran out of a bank.",
"Witnesses later testified Christopher Michael Dean seemed surprised the weapon had gone off.",
"Christopher Michael Dean was charged in federal court and admitted committing the robbery.",
"Christopher Michael Dean's sentence included a mandatory 10-year prison term for \"discharging\" a weapon during a crime.",
"Christopher Michael Dean appealed, saying the sentencing enhancement required proof that Christopher Michael Dean intended to discharge the firearm, and Christopher Michael Dean's actions were accidental.",
"But in Chief Justice John Roberts's majority opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts said federal law \"does not require that the discharge be done knowingly or intentionally.\"",
"In what has become a regular feature of Chief Justice John Roberts's writing, the 54-year-old chief justice displayed a sense of creativity and sly humor in Chief Justice John Roberts's conclusions.",
"Chief Justice John Roberts openly called Christopher Michael Dean the \"bungling bank robber\" and quoted one patron's reaction to the bank gunshot: \"Melissa in the lobby popped up and said, 'Oh, my God, has Christopher Michael Dean shot Nora?' \"",
"Nora turned out to be all right.",
"Justice John Paul Stevens dissented in the case, noting, \"Accidents happen, but Accidents seldom give rise to criminal liability.",
"Indeed, if Accidents cause no harm Accidents seldom give rise to any liability.",
"The court nevertheless holds that petitioner is subject to a mandatory additional sentence -- a species of criminal liability -- for an accident that caused no harm.\"",
"Chief Justice John Roberts was supported by Justice Stephen Breyer.",
"Chief Justice John Roberts, however, saved the best for last in Chief Justice John Roberts's bench remarks, when summarizing the ruling.",
"\"An individual who brings a loaded weapon to commit a crime runs the risk that the gun will discharge accidentally,\" Chief Justice John Roberts said.",
"\"Those criminals wishing to avoid the penalty for an inadvertent discharge can lock or unload the gun, handle the gun with care during the underlying violent or drug trafficking crime, leave the gun at home, or -- best yet -- avoid committing the felony in the first place,\" Chief Justice John Roberts wrote .",
"That brought barely contained laughter in the audience of several hundred gathered in the courtroom."

"Industry executives refer to the practice as \"purging,\" Wendell Potter said.",
"\"When that business comes up for renewal, underwriters at his former company jack the rates up so much, the employer has no choice but to drop insurance,\" Wendell Potter said.",

"Cigna will offer rates that are reflective of the competitive group health insurance market.",

"Editor's note: CNN contributor Bob Greene is a best-selling author whose current book is \"When We Get to Surf City: A Journey Through America in Pursuit of Rock and Roll, Friendship, and Dreams.\"",
"\"Tumbling tumbleweeds\" have been romanticized in song, but they're no fun in some parts of the U.S. (CNN) --",
"\"Do we like them?\"",
"Patrick Victor, a game and fish commission employee in San Carlos, Arizona, repeated the question back to me as if I had proved my lunacy by asking it in the first place.",
"\"Do we like tumbleweeds?\" he said.",
"\"No one likes them.",
"They're not like in the cowboy movies.",
"We consider them garbage -- worse than garbage.",
"There is nothing to treasure or cherish about a tumbleweed.\"",
"We were talking about tumbleweeds because of a theory I had been pondering: .",
"In this country, because of the immediacy of news, it seems as if everyone from one coast to the other is worrying obsessively about the same thing at the same time.",
"You name it: the banking meltdown one day, the feared floods in Fargo, North Dakota, the next; the forced ouster of the head of General Motors one morning, followed soon after by the street demonstrations in London during the Group of 20 summit.",
"We all tend to fret together about one crisis at a time; undoubtedly there will be something new for all of us to be nervous about together before sundown tonight.",
"So the goal here was to come up with something utterly unlikely -- something that, in 2009, you wouldn't think would bother people -- and find out if it does.",
"Tumbleweeds.",
"That, just picked at random, was the test case.",
"\"They can be a pretty big problem out here,\" said Scott McGuire, a code enforcement inspector in Greeley, Colorado.",
"\"When the wind is right, they'll pile up right to the roofline of a house.",
"Seriously -- people can't see out of people's windows or even easily get out of people's homes.\"",
"There was something instructive, even (in an off-kilter way) comforting, about learning this: the affirmation that, in this increasingly monolithic country, there are still local vexations that override the breaking news bulletins on the national networks, that people in one pocket of America are routinely dealing with forces that people a few hundred miles away are blissfully unaware of.",
"Just hearing about it makes life seem somehow more life-size.",
"\"I meant what I said literally,\" Scott McGuire, a code enforcement inspector in Greeley, Colorado said, continuing on Scott McGuire, a code enforcement inspector in Greeley, Colorado's pinned-in-the-house-by-tumbleweeds theme.",
"\"They are big and prickly -- they can blow for hundreds of miles, sometimes all the way from Wyoming.",
"They go until the wind dies out or they run into something.",
"That's when people can have piles of them pressing against people's homes -- when the tumbleweeds stop there.\"",
"Tumbleweeds, if you haven't thought about Tumbleweeds in years, may seem like a gauzy memory from old Western movies, a nostalgic high-plains symbol of desolation and loneliness.",
"There was that campfire song by Roy Rogers and Roy Rogers's group, the Sons of the Pioneers; once you think of the lyrics and melody again, you can't get it out of your head: . \"See them tumbling down/Pledging their love to the ground/Lonely but free I'll be found/Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.\"",
"But in the 21st century?",
"In our connected-by-broadband, addicted-to-cell phones, technologically tethered nation? Tumbleweeds?",
"As something to be concerned about?",
"\"They're ugly and nasty,\" said Charlene Hardin, the county manager of Roosevelt County, New Mexico.",
"\"They can make our roads impassable.",
"You can see 12-foot-high, chain-link fences with tumbleweeds piled all the way up to the top.",
"12-foot-high, chain-link fences with tumbleweeds're very flammable",
"-- toss a cigarette, and you have a big fire.",
"\"Tumbleweeds are more than a nuisance out here.",
"We'll get complaints from people who can't even get out of their own driveways because the tumbleweeds have them hemmed in.\"",
"Tumbleweeds are mainly a plague in the West and Southwest: certainly not dire on the level of, say, a national security issue, but a perpetual pain in the neck.",
"They're a gnarled and unpleasant-looking plant, useless as a crop or nutritionally; they dry up, separate from their roots and blow across the land, spreading seeds.",
"They're thorny, are often painful to the touch and can grow as big as trash bags -- it's not uncommon to see tumbleweeds 4 feet in diameter rolling speedily along.",
"As Velda Bucklen, who lives west of Kersey, Colorado, and who was concerned about people just heaving errant tumbleweeds off people's property and thus onto nearby lawns, wrote in a letter to the editor of her local newspaper: \"They are prickly and strong.",
"... I have been guilty of tossing them into the street and sending them on their way.",
"Please don't fight with your neighbors.\"",
"The people of the United States, though, are nothing if not resourceful.",
"Just as you may have been unaware that tumbleweeds are a contemporary problem, so you may be heartened to learn that, as always, where some people see bad news, others see opportunity.",
"\"I thought there might be some money in tumbleweeds,\" said Linda Katz of Garden City, Kansas.",
"Linda Katz was right.",
"Linda Katz runs a company called Prairie Tumbleweed Farm (its motto is \"If they don't tumble, we don't sell them!\"), and Linda Katz said Linda Katz has found a steady mail-order market for tumbleweeds.",
"\"Personally I'm not fond of them, but apparently some people are,\" Linda Katz said.",
"\"They're just big, rolling weeds.",
"But people order them for wedding decorations.",
"People order them for dances.",
"Servicemen say tumbleweeds remind Servicemen of home.",
"I've taken two orders already today.\"",
"Finding them is not a challenge: \"They just roll by the house.\"",
"Linda Katz grabs them, puts them in boxes and mails them off.",
"And, to answer your question before you can ask your question: $25 for a large tumbleweed, $15 for a small.",
"Before we leave this topic so we can all return to more conventional news, a word from Bob Lee, director of weed and pest control in Cheyenne, Wyoming: .",
"\"I've seen people here who have gone away for a two-week vacation, and when people here who have gone away for a two-week vacation come back, there are so many tumbleweeds in front of people here who have gone away for a two-week vacation's house that people here who have gone away for a two-week vacation have to chop people here who have gone away for a two-week vacation's way to the front door.\"",
"So, Bob Lee, is there one stirring and inspirational parting message you'd like to convey to people?",
"\"Just that tumbleweeds don't have any redeeming features, as far as I'm aware of.\"",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene."

"Ruth Bendik's went to greet runners at the end of the race and, \"when I got out of the crush of people, I realized my purse was much lighter,\" Ruth Bendik's told CNN.",
"\"I was just so grateful not to have been harmed.\"",
"Last week, Josh Galiley, tree-care supervisor for the Central Park Conservancy, was chopping down a hazardous black cherry tree near Rumsey Playfield when Josh Galiley discovered Ruth Bendik's's blue leather wallet in the trunk of the tree, which Josh Galiley estimates is around 65 years old and 50 feet high.",

"Having been that low in the tree ... the location indicated it had been there for quite some time,\" Josh Galiley told CNN.",
"Ruth Bendik's wallet was a unique find, Josh Galiley said.",
"\"When you're cutting a tree and it's hollow, you expect stuff inside, shreds of material, old marbles, really just knickknacks compared to this,\" Josh Galiley said, \"Nothing with a story.",
"We peeked in and there were dates from the early '80s.",
"We figured this was different.\"",
"After Ruth Bendik's wallet was recovered, Josh Galiley said, officials were careful to inform Ruth Bendik's properly.",
"\"We thought Ruth Bendik's may not want to relive it,\" Josh Galiley said.",
"Ruth Bendik's sang praises for the individuals who returned Ruth Bendik's's wallet, including detective Frank Irizarry, who helped track Ruth Bendik's down.",
"\"The lengths they went to find me, the extent that they went through and the fact that they were concerned about my feelings really impressed me,\" Ruth Bendik's said.",
"Ruth Bendik's wallet still contained Ruth Bendik's's old driver's license and credit cards, Ruth Bendik's said, although $20 was missing.",
"\"Twenty dollars was a lot of money then,\" Ruth Bendik's said.",
"After two decades, much more has changed.",
"Referring to two of Ruth Bendik's's old bank cards from Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank and Banker's Trust, Ruth Bendik's said, \"I was shocked that both banks had closed.\"",
"But some things haven't changed.",
"Ruth Bendik's continues to have fond memories of Central Park.",
"The Ohio native, who has lived in New York for 40 years, still describes Central Park as one of Ruth Bendik's's favorite areas in New York.",
"\"It's a public place in an impersonal city,\" Ruth Bendik's said, \"It brings everyone together in a pleasant way of reconnecting with nature and beauty.\"",
"Today, Ruth Bendik's smiles at the idea of Ruth Bendik's's wallet buried in a cherry tree in Central Park for nearly 30 years, and Ruth Bendik's's happy to have it in Ruth Bendik's's hands again.",
"\"After all these years it's still available as a time capsule of my life.\""

"Most notably, \"Grey's Anatomy\" used Mat Kearney's song \"Breathe In, Breathe Out.\"",
"Mat Kearney's new album, \"City of Black & White\" (Aware/Columbia), is out Tuesday.",
"Watch the video for the single \"Closer to Love\" » .",
"The Oregon-born musician, 30, sat down with CNN to talk about Mat Kearney's songwriting journey, combining a big sound with personal observations and a certain \"weird TV show.\"",
"The following is an edited version of that interview.",
"CNN:",
"How important was Nashville, Tennessee, in your decision to be a songwriter?",
"Mat Kearney:",
"The first year I moved to Nashville, I started playing these songwriter nights with people like Nickel Creek, Duncan Sheik and even Ryan Adams.",
"... That was the first place I really started playing music and I had to really step up my game.",
"Really quick.",
"Or get kicked off the stage.",
"CNN:",
"This whirlwind world tour you completed last year -- how did it impact this new album and you personally?",
"Mat Kearney:",
"That tour was three years long.",
"[So] this record was a return back to community in Nashville and to sing. ...",
"So, [the tour] created this void for wanting to connect in a local way.",
"So many things happen when you're not out there running and gunning.",
"Falling in love with someone, getting your heart broken, being around friends -- that stuff can only happen when you stick around for a while.",
"CNN:",
"What's the significance of the title -- \"City of Black & White\"?",
"Mat Kearney: The title track I wrote in Istanbul.",
"We stayed in this place that overlooked the Bosporus, which splits Europe from Asia.",
"The song is about worlds colliding, being that far away from home, and also longing to be with someone you love in that distant land.",
"... It seemed like a good cornerstone to build the record on.",
"CNN:",
"You're an avid traveler, but this record is more concerned with planting roots.",
"How do you reconcile the two?",
"Mat Kearney:",
"I don't think, to be a traveler, you have to reject setting roots up.",
"That's the fun of this whole journey for me.",
"There are people I love in Nashville and would not want to go a day without talking to, but I want to see the world.",
"this record is coming out of an experience of reconciling those two things.",
"I played 275 shows for two years straight.",
"You have to travel between 275 shows.",
"So you're gone.",
"Some of those experiences shape this record.",
"There's a romantic side to it.",
"this record isn't a one-night stand record.",
"this record's not youthful idealism that's going after the masses.",
"There's some ideas of, say, that prodigal son who has walked away from you and you're sitting there saying, \"I'm here for you if you need me.\"",
"CNN:",
"The sound is big but the lyrics are intensely personal.",
"How did you meld those ideas together?",
"Mat Kearney:",
"Yeah, it's like the biggest song is one of the most personal.",
"\"Fire and Rain\" [not the James Taylor song] is a crazy four-on-the-floor song, but it's a song about someone who has left you.",
"Something about the juxtaposition of those two seem so interesting to me.",
"I didn't plan it.",
"It just kind of happened.",
"CNN:",
"You're one of the last musicians I have seen actually get airplay on [music television channels], and you broke through because of it.",
"Mat Kearney:",
"It's interesting how my music has gained success being accompanied by images.",
"When I was in college I wanted to study film.",
"My first passion was to be a cinematographer.",
"So maybe there's something innate in my music where it partners well with images.",
"It's worked on weird TV shows where doctors are making out and people getting logs pulled out of people's stomachs [laughs].",
"Somehow my music seems to work with that.",
"CNN:",
"How did your music become such an integral part of that show [\"Grey's Anatomy\"]?",
"Mat Kearney:",
"I really don't know.",
"Somebody somewhere ... started using these songs and these songs seem to work.",
"There are certain songs that lend themselves to images.",
"No one's licensing [Katy Perry's] \"I Kissed a Girl\" and putting it in shows.",
"That's a narrow-focused message that doesn't need much [in the way of] images."

"(CNN) --",
"Felipe Calderon's's ruling party paid the price for a weak economy in midterm elections as the opposition Revolutionary Institutional Party rolled to victories in the lower legislative house as well as state and local posts.",
"Felipe Calderon's wasn't on Sunday's ballot and has three years left in Felipe Calderon's's six-year term.",
"With more than 99 percent of the votes counted, PRI had 36.7 percent to 28 percent for Felipe Calderon's's National Action Party (PAN), the state-run Notimex news agency reported Monday.",
"The leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), which nearly won the 2006 presidential election, came in a distant third with 12.2 percent of the vote.",
"In response to the defeat, PAN president German Martinez resigned from the top party post Monday.",
"On Sunday's ballot were seats for 500 federal legislators, six governors and about 500 mayors and local legislators in 11 states.",
"Though Felipe Calderon's has three years left in Felipe Calderon's's six-year term and was not on Sunday's ballot, analysts said Monday Felipe Calderon's was held responsible for Mexico's problems amid the global economic downturn.",
"\"Felipe Calderon's got a beating because of the economy,\" said Ana Maria Salazar, a television and radio political commentator in Mexico City.",
"\"The government in power pays for it,\" said Peter Hakim, president of the Washington-based Inter-American Dialogue.",
"Besides the economy, Felipe Calderon's has had to face the consequences of a drug war Felipe Calderon's launched that has left more than 10,000 people dead since Felipe Calderon's came to office in December 2006.",
"Felipe Calderon's also had to deal with the H1N1 flu pandemic that first became known in Mexico this year.",
"Felipe Calderon's party has the most seats in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Mexico's Congress, but Felipe Calderon's party does not have a majority in either.",
"Felipe Calderon's party lost Felipe Calderon's party's lead in the lower house, as PRI will hold more seats when the new delegates are seated in December.",
"No seats were at stake in the Senate, which elects its members every six years.",
"Felipe Calderon's acknowledged the setback in a late-night address to the nation Sunday.",
"\"The federal government recognizes the new composition of the Chamber of Deputies since it is a sovereign decision of the citizens.",
"I congratulate who they have chosen,\" Felipe Calderon's said, adding Felipe Calderon's will work with the new representatives.",
"Felipe Calderon's will have no choice but to work with PRI, analysts said.",
"But since the PAN did not have control of either house of Congress, Felipe Calderon's has been compromising and making deals with the PRI and other parties since coming to power.",
"\"I don't think the job is much more difficult than the job was at the outset,\" Hakim said.",
"\"It's all a matter of degrees.",
"Yeah, it will make it a little more difficult.",
"But he has had to work through negotiation anyway.\"",
"Still, analysts said, PRI now wields considerable more power.",
"\"PRI're in a position to run Congress,\" said Andrew Selee, director of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Mexico Institute.",
"By forming temporary coalitions with the Green Party and other minor parties, PRI can block presidential vetoes, Salazar said.",
"\"PRI pretty much have control over the purse,\" she said.",
"Much more is at stake for PRI though.",
"After having held the presidency from 1929 to 2000 and then losing the presidency to the PAN in the last two elections, the party is looking for a path back to power.",
"Sunday's results were particularly significant because PRI finished third in the 2006 presidential election.",
"\"The presidential campaign has started as of today, Monday,\" Salazar said.",
"Also significant was PRI's apparent collapse as a major party, considering it came within 1 percent of winning the presidency in 2006.",
"That race was so close that the results were not verified until a controversial decision two months later.",
"Losing candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador refused to accept the results and announced candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador the winner.",
"Fistfights broke out in the Chamber of Deputies.",
"PRI drew away votes from PRI in Sunday's election, Hakim said, noting that may help Felipe Calderon's because PRI is Felipe Calderon's's main foe in Congress.",
"Working with a larger PRI may be easier.",
"But Salazar said Felipe Calderon's is on a deadline, until the 2012 presidential race really heats up.",
"\"His window of opportunity is for the next year and half,\" Salazar said.",
"\"PRI wants to show that PRI can lead, that PRI're a party of ideas.\"",
"No one knows if PRI is up to the task.",
"\"The big question is whether PRI will look forward only to the presidential elections,\" Hakim said.",
"\"PRI has to show that PRI're responsible and capable of governing again.\"",
"To do so, PRI has to make sure that internal fighting over who will run as the presidential candidate in three years does not paralyze PRI.",
"\"Don't underestimate the ability of PRI to cannibalize PRI,\" Salazar said.",
"PRI leader Beatriz Paredes has emerged as a major power broker.",
"As head of PRI and newly elected member of the Chamber of Deputies, PRI leader Beatriz Paredes will lead PRI's legislative efforts.",
"That's good for Calderon, Salazar said, because it will be \"much easier to negotiate with PRI leader Beatriz Paredes than with other factions of PRI.\"",
"But if the PAN and PRI can't agree, Salazar said, \"there will be a breakdown of consensus politics.\"",
"Mexico's leaders -- regardless of party affiliation -- also have to battle apparent disenchantment among everyday Mexicans.",
"Voter participation Sunday was about 30 percent, officials said, but more 5 percent of those were people who \"annulled\" their ballots.",
"They turned in a ballot but did not vote for anyone or defaced a ballot.",
"Their intent was to show that they cared enough to vote, just not for anyone on a ballot.",
"\"It's a repudiation of what is going on in Mexico in general,\" Salazar said.",
"Salazar sees \"a general skepticism,\" saying, \"Mexicans have tired of where things are going.\""

"One of 300 passengers on a United Airlines flight from Chicago, Illinois, to Tokyo, Japan, in April, Bachleda noticed white \"smoke\" billowing from the left side of the Boeing 747-400 jet on takeoff and then again at cruising altitude of over 30,000 feet.",

"\"Ma'am,\" Bachleda said.",
"\"It's looking bad.\"",
"Bachleda identified Bachleda and showed a flight attendant Bachleda's video.",
"\"I decided, if the captain doesn't know about this before we go oceanic -- meaning once we fly over the ocean -- and we're leaking this massive amount of fuel, this is going to be a bad day,\" said Bachleda, on a return trip back to Kadena Air Base in Japan, where Bachleda is stationed.",

"United Airlines spokesman Jeff Kovick said the captain would never have attempted a Pacific crossing.",
"In Bachleda's estimation, the plane, which United said has a capacity of 373,000 pounds of jet fuel, was losing about 6,000 pounds an hour.",
"Over the course of a 13-hour flight, the plane would have lost about 20 percent of the plane's tank.",
"But a former NTSB official said the plane still would have had to land because the plane lacked extra fuel to divert once the plane was over the Pacific or circle at the plane's destination.",

"Editor's note: On CNN's \"State of the Union,\" host and chief national correspondent John King goes outside the Beltway to report on the issues affecting communities across the country.",
"Christine Quinn, speaker of the New York City Council, and Christine Quinn's partner, Kim Catullo, talk to John King.",
"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"As Christine Quinn lobbies members of the New York Senate these days, the politician in Christine Quinn can understand what the gay rights activist in Christine Quinn sometimes cannot.",
"\"The fear of the unknown,\" is how Christine Quinn describes it.",
"\"This is a vote they've never cast before.",
"And they don't know how people are going to react.",
"You are in a position where people's reaction to you is the key to your success.",
"And the unknown creates fear and fear often creates paralysis.\"",
"Christine Quinn is the openly gay speaker of the New York City Council, and a proponent of legalizing same sex marriage in New York state.",
"\"It is really encouraging to see what's happening around the country in places where you really wouldn't expect it, like Iowa,\" says Christine Quinn's longtime partner, Kim Catullo.",
"\"To be in a place like NEW YORK and not have it just doesn't seem to make sense.\"",
"The New York Assembly passed legislation allowing same-sex marriages earlier this month, and the question now is whether there are enough votes in the state Senate to pass legislation allowing same-sex marriages before the legislature adjourns for the year.",
"Go behind the scenes with John King as John King discusses John King's report from NEW YORK .",
"Quinn, who spent time in Albany this past week meeting with undecided senators, is cautiously optimistic.",
"\"It was amazing how much openness there was,\" she said of private meetings with lawmakers who are undecided and even a few who have said they are likely to oppose legislation allowing same-sex marriages.",
"\"We just all have to create a moment for them to step forward.",
"So I really think it is going to happen this month, before the legislative session is over.\"",
"Maggie Gallagher sees the Senate math quite differently.",
"\"We are now working in 24 Senate districts,\" says Gallagher, president of the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriages.",
"\"We know we have generated thousands of phone calls to legislators.",
"I don't think they will be passing a gay marriage bill the legislative session.\" Watch both sides assess chances of passing same-sex marriage bill » .",
"The NEW YORK legislation is part of a growing national debate, and one which will gain even more attention because of the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy and the nomination of federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor to fill it.",
"\"Not tomorrow.",
"Not likely in the coming year unless the courts move dramatically faster than we are used to seeing them move,\" is how Columbia Law School Professor Suzanne Goldberg answers when asked when the issue of same-sex marriage is likely to make the Supreme Court docket.",
"\"But certainly some time in the next couple of years we're likely to see U.S. Supreme Court issue a position or two on this issue.\"",
"Columbia Law School Professor Suzanne Goldberg knows Sotomayer well; the judge is also a lecturer at Columbia.",
"\"We've never spoken about this issue,\" Columbia Law School Professor Suzanne Goldberg told us.",
"\"I have no inside information about her views.",
"What I would say is that she is both a wise person and a thoughtful person and being wise and thoughtful are the right ingredients for reaching what to Columbia Law School Professor Suzanne Goldberg is the right answer on this issue, which to Columbia Law School Professor Suzanne Goldberg is that equality applies to all people.\"",
"The likelihood of the issue reaching U.S. Supreme Court in the next year or two raises the stakes in the state battles.",
"Opponents of California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage vow to try again in 2010 in hopes of a different result.",
"A new federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 was filed this week and could well be among the cases that make it to U.S. Supreme Court eventually.",
"Five states now allow same-sex marriage: Maine, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts and Vermont, and the states with active debates include California, NEW YORK, New Jersey and New Hampshire.",
"In an interview in their apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of NEW YORK, Christine Quinn and Catullo agreed the ideal solution for them would be federal recognition of the right of same-sex couples to marry.",
"But the federal Defense of Marriage Act signed by President Clinton defines marriage as between a man and a woman.",
"And President Obama says President Obama supports civil unions and other benefits for same-sex couples but opposes marriage.",
"\"President Obama's not perfect on this issue and I want President Obama to be perfect,\" Christine Quinn said of President Obama.",
"\"And I'm fairly certain that pretty soon President Obama will be perfect on this issue and what we just have to do is keep talking to President Obama and keep educating President Obama and keep working on President Obama.\"",
"\"It doesn't help,\" Catullo says of President Obama's opposition.",
"Still, like Christine Quinn, Catullo hopes eventually, \"he can evolve.\"",
"Gallagher, of the National Organization for Marriage, is worried more about U.S. Supreme Court than any pressure on President Obama from gay rights activists.",
"\"Well I don't believe David Souter was on our side on this issue although we don't know for sure,\" Gallagher said.",
"So in Gallagher's line of speculating, swapping Sotomayor for David Souter isn't likely to swing U.S. Supreme Court in any major way.",
"Her major worry is if one of the more conservative judges decided to retire in the near future.",
"\"I don't think this one is going to tip the balance,\" Gallagher said.",
"\"But we're very close.",
"We're probably only one Supreme Court justice away from a nationally imposed right to same-sex marriage whether we like it or not.",
"That is the ultimate game plan of the gay marriage forces.\"",
"Catullo would prefer a conversation less political.",
"\"I really do believe that if someone lived next to us or really knew us, it wouldn't be an issue at all,\" she said.",
"\"I mean we are good people.",
"We're law-abiding.",
"We're taxpayers.",
"We're just an eight-year couple that's been together a long time and we do a lot of the things that a normal couple does.",

"Georgian troops take part in military exercises in January.",
"Georgian troops are to participate in NATO maneuvers this week.",
"About 500 troops at a military base outside the capital, Tbilisi, were involved in the rebellion, said the country's interior ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili.",
"Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said it was quickly brought under control, and the government reported a few hours later that the base was calm.",
"Initial investigations suggest that Russia, Georgia's northern neighbor and former ruler, may have had a hand in an attempted army mutiny that they believe was designed to disrupt planned NATO exercises in the former Soviet republic, Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said.",
"Russia denied involvement in the incident.",
"\"Tbilisi has pulled yet another anti-Russian prank.",
"... This is not the first time we are so vocally blamed for interfering.",
"It is typical that each time the charges become more ridiculous,\" the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.",
"Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili claimed that Georgia had secret recordings of the mutineers saying the mutineers had \"full Russian support.\"",
"\"We know Russia is against the planned NATO exercises in Georgia.",
"We know they have increased the troops at the border.",
"We don't have 100 percent evidence right now, because the investigation is ongoing,\" Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said.",
"But, Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili added, until the investigation is complete, officials won't point a finger at Russia.",
"On Tuesday afternoon, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili called on Russia to stop \"provocative maneuvers\" in Georgia, according to Georgia's English-language Prime News.",

"the Russian Foreign Ministry's warnings were not heeded.\"",
"Georgia's Utiashvili said the rebelling soldiers were heard saying the rebelling soldiers were \"unhappy with the political situation in the country.\"",

"A Senate subcommittee Tuesday tackled one of the most contentious issues in U.S. sports: the fairness of the Bowl Championship Series that decides the top college football team each season.",
"Tim Tebow, right, of the Florida Gators talks to coaches at the 2009 BCS national championship game January 8.",
"Convened by Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the hearing by the Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights subcommittee provided a sounding board for his state's disappointment over the inability of the undefeated University of Utah to qualify for the BCS national championship game last January.",
"BCS operates under an agreement among the major college football conferences that decides which teams qualify for the biggest bowl games each season, including the national championship game.",
"BCS also distributes the revenue generated by the bowl games, with the participating members taking part in more of the post-season matches and taking home more money.",
"Every season brings heated debate over the bowl lineup and calls for a playoff system similar to the ones used for every other National Collegiate Athletic Association sport, including small-college football.",
"President Obama has joined many Americans in expressing President Obama's preference for a playoff system to decide the nation's top college football team.",
"GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah complained that the BCS system denies outsiders -- such as Utah of the Mountain West Conference -- a fair chance to compete with major conferences such as the Big 12, Big 10, Pacific 10 and Southeast Conference for a spot in the lucrative bowl games.",
"Last season, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said, Utah went undefeated and gained a BCS berth in the Sugar Bowl against perennial power Alabama, which Utah defeated 31-17.",
"However, the BCS system prevented Utah from any realistic chance of selection for the national championship game, which pitted two teams that each had one loss on their records, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said.",
"For schools outside what GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah called the \"privileged conferences,\" the BCS system has \"significant and largely insurmountable obstacles to playing for a national championship,\" GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said.",
"University of Utah President Michael Young complained that the the BCS system system both stifles competition and guarantees the majority of revenue from bowl games to the traditional powers.",
"\"If you can't beat them, eliminate them,\" University of Utah President Michael Young said of BCS policy.",
"In response, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said the BCS system -- while imperfect -- is the only workable formula that ensures participation by major football powers such as University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman's institution.",
"BCS recognizes the strength and depth of traditional programs, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said, rejecting University of Utah President Michael Young's argument that Utah has no chance to improve Utah's status.",
"\"There realistically is something Utah could do,\" University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said.",
"\"They could play the schedule Nebraska played.\"",
"At the same time, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said that uneven odds are part of every university's experience at one time or another.",
"\"It's the same as when Nebraska walks into the NIH [National Institutes of Health] and seeks a federal grant and competes with Harvard,\" University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said.",
"\"Theoretically we have the same the chance, but do we really?\"",
"Two anti-trust experts provided conflicting testimony on whether the the BCS system system violates the Sherman Antitrust Act.",
"Barry Brett of the law firm Troutman Sanders insisted BCS holds what amounts to an illegal monopoly and \"uses this control to exclude all but BCS's founding members [from] fair access to the competition and control of hundreds of millions of dollars.\"",
"In response, William Monts III of Hogan and Hartson noted its founding members created the national championship game and therefore have the right to determine who participates.",
"William Monts III of Hogan and Hartson also warned against seeking anti-trust relief in court, saying a ruling against BCS would end BCS's existence without creating an alternative.",
"\"The peculiar irony of an anti-trust claim is that it is likely to sound the death knell for the playoff system proponents want,\" Monts said."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite crushing defeats in the last two elections, Senate Republicans have new \"energy and enthusiasm\" for winning back the majority, according to Senate Republicans's leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.",
"A top GOP leader says Bush, politically, was a \"millstone\" around the GOP's neck.",
"\"Bush had become extremely unpopular, and politically Bush was sort of a millstone around our necks in both '06 and '08,\" Sen. Mitch McConnell told reporters Friday.",
"\"Senate Republicans now have the opportunity to be on offense, offer Senate Republicans's own ideas and Senate Republicans will win some.\"",
"Many of our own ideas get presented as amendments to Democratic bills, and even though Democratic bills're usually defeated, Democratic bills can draw attention to GOP policy alternatives and force Democrats to take difficult votes.",
"\"Democratic bills become the way you chart the course for a comeback, which, in this country, always happens at some point,\" Sen. Mitch McConnell said.",
"\"The pendulum swings.\"",
"Sen. Mitch McConnell said many of the ideas for amendments come from conservative think tanks and other Republican thinkers off Capitol Hill.",
"\"Newt Gingrich, for example, has an idea a minute.",
"Many of those are quite good.",
"Many of those become amendments,\" he said.",
"Sen. Mitch McConnell also said Sen. Mitch McConnell doesn't mind the \"party of no\" label Congressional Democrats and the White House give Republicans.",
"\"I don't feel anyone should be apologetic for opposing a bad idea,\" Sen. Mitch McConnell said.",
"\"I'm not fearful of an effort to demonize dissent.\"",
"After being labeled by Democrats the \"party of no\" for criticizing the budget without offering solutions, House Republicans said Thursday that House Republicans have come up with a plan B -- though were later criticized for a lack of details.",
"\"Two nights ago, the president said, 'We haven't seen a budget yet out of Republicans.'",
"Well, it's just not true, because here it is, Mr. President,\" House Minority leader Rep. John Boehner said Wednesday as he held up a booklet that he said was a \"blueprint for where we're going.\"",
"Watch GOP leaders unveil their 'leaner' budget » .",
"The details of the GOP budget will be presented on the House floor next week, said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin.",
"\"We're going to show a leaner budget, a budget with lower taxes, lower spending and lower borrowing,\" Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin said.",
"a \"blueprint for where we're going includes familiar Republican proposals to limit \"wasteful\" government spending, cut the size of government and provide incentives to private entities to expand access to health care.",
"a \"blueprint for where we're going also includes a major overhaul of the tax code, proposing a marginal tax rate of 10 percent for income up to $100,000 and 25 percent for any income above that level.",
"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs laughed off Senate Republicans's proposal Thursday, joking that Senate Republicans's blueprint has more pictures of windmills than charts.",
"\"It's interesting to have a budget that doesn't contain any numbers.",
"I think the 'party of no' has become the 'party of no new ideas,' \" White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said at the daily briefing.",
"CNN contributor Paul Begala says that Republicans are simply out of ideas -- and have no one to blame but Republicans.",
"\"Senate Republicans are like an arsonist who complains that the fire department is wasting water.",
"Obama is trying to handle an immediate crisis while also laying the foundation for long-term growth.",
"Senate Republicans are doing neither,\" CNN contributor Paul Begala said.",
"\"Senate Republicans have no plan to stop the loss of jobs or to get capital markets functioning properly -- and Senate Republicans certainly have no plans for health care, education or energy, which are the keys to both long-term economic growth and long-term deficit reduction.\"",
"CNN contributor Paul Begala added: \"If this were 'Sesame Street,' the announcer would be saying, 'This program brought to you by the letters G, O and P ...",
"None of the crises the president is addressing were of the president's creation.",

"Seattle, Washington (CNN) --",
"A pathologist hired by the family of one of two women whose mysterious deaths in Thailand drew worldwide attention says her \"lungs were 100 percent congested,\" Jill St. Onge's fiancee and brother said.",
"Seattle woman died while vacationing with Seattle woman's fiance at a Thailand resort.",
"\"A pathologist hired by the family of one of two women whose mysterious deaths in Thailand drew worldwide attention said Seattle woman's lung tissue was gone,\" said Seattle woman's brother, Robert St. Onge.",
"A pathologist hired by the family of one of two women whose mysterious deaths in Thailand drew worldwide attention has not determined what caused Seattle woman's lungs to fail, A pathologist hired by the family of one of two women whose mysterious deaths in Thailand drew worldwide attention said, and a final report on Seattle woman's May 2 death may still be weeks away.",
"But members of Seattle woman's family said members of St. Onge's family feel A pathologist hired by the family of one of two women whose mysterious deaths in Thailand drew worldwide attention's findings, though preliminary, are enough to contradict public statements made by Thai investigators that St. Onge was the victim of food poisoning.",
"\"I am 99.9 percent sure Seattle woman did not die of food poisoning,\" said Ryan Kells, Seattle woman's fiancee, who was with Seattle woman when Seattle woman died.",
"\"Seattle woman suffocated to death.",
"I am not a doctor, but I know when someone can't breathe.\"",
"Kells and St. Onge, both artists from Seattle, were on a three-month vacation through Southeast Asia when the couple arrived on Thailand's Phi Phi Island.",
"the couple had gotten engaged while on the trip and were keeping friends and family up to date with the couple's adventures.",
"\"Having a blast,\" Jill St. Onge, 27, wrote about the surroundings in a blog dedicated to the couple's travels.",
"\"Food, drink, sun and warm waters ... what else do ya need?\" the couple's vacation ended tragically when Kells found Kells's fiancee in the couple's hotel room vomiting and unable to breathe.",
"Kells rushed Seattle woman to a hospital where Seattle woman died.",
"Seattle woman was healthy and there was no obvious explanation for Seattle woman's sudden death, Seattle woman's brother said.",
"Just hours after Seattle woman fell ill, Julie Bergheim, a Norwegian tourist who was staying in a room next to St. Onge's at the Laleena Guesthouse, came down with similar symptoms.",
"She also died.",
"According to Thai media reports, police there are focusing on food poisoning as the cause of the women's deaths.",
"On Monday, the Phuket Gazette quoted a police commander as saying blood samples from both women indicated possible food poisoning from seafood.",
"Still, a police commander said, those results were only preliminary.",
"\"I don't know when the official results will be released,\" Maj. Gen. Pasin Nokasul told the newspaper.",
"\"The lab work [is being] expedited because the embassies of the two tourists want to know the cause of death as soon as possible.\"",
"Kells response to Nokasul's statement was harsh.",
"\"That she died of food poisoning is a ridiculous statement to make,\" he said, adding it is unlikely they would have been \"the only ones affected.\"",
"Dr. William Hurley, medical director for the Washington Poison Center, is also skeptical that food poisoning could have been responsible.",
"In food poisoning cases, Dr. William Hurley, medical director for the Washington Poison Center said, \"usually what kills you is the dehydration, not the toxin.\"",
"Dr. William Hurley, medical director for the Washington Poison Center added, \"Food poisoning is not something that typically kills someone this quickly.",
"It takes days.\"",
"Ingestion of a variety of chemicals could have caused Seattle woman and Bergheim's sudden deaths, Dr. William Hurley, medical director for the Washington Poison Center said, and could be consistent with the condition of Seattle woman's lungs.",
"But without further information, Dr. William Hurley, medical director for the Washington Poison Center said, it is impossible to say what killed the two women.",
"Kells said Kells thinks something in the hotel where they were where staying made Jill sick.",
"Kells remembers a \"chemical smell\" in the room and thinks Kells avoided becoming ill because Kells spent less time in the room.",
"On Saturday, the Phuket Wan newspaper reported that investigators visited the Laleena Guesthouse, taking samples and removing filters from the air conditioning units in the rooms where both victims had stayed.",
"Rat Chuped, the owner of the hotel, told the Phuket Wan newspaper her property was not to blame.",
"\"There is no problem with the Laleena Guesthouse,\" she said."

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"When Jackson collapsed at Jackson's rented mansion last month, Jackson's arms were riddled with marks and Jackson's arms's veins had collapsed -- both characteristics found in intravenous drug users, sources told CNN on Tuesday.",
"A source says Jackson had \"paper white skin.",
"As white as a white T-shirt.\"",
"The revelations add to the speculation that prescription drugs played a part in Jackson's death on June 25.",
"The exact cause is pending toxicology results that aren't due for at least another week.",
"A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death told CNN that Jackson had \"numerous track marks\" on Jackson's arms -- and that those marks \"could certainly be consistent with the regular IV use of a drug, like Diprivan.\"",
"The sources did not want to be identified because the investigation into Jackson's death is ongoing.",
"A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death said investigators found numerous bottles of prescription drugs in Jackson's $100,000-a-month rented mansion in Holmby Hills, but A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death would not confirm whether Diprivan was among them.",
"Watch what sources say on condition of Jackson's body » .",
"A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death also cautioned that it was too soon to say whether an intravenous drip of Diprivan caused the track marks.",
"Some appeared fresh; others older, A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death said.",
"The new ones could have resulted from the IVs that paramedics used when they tried to revive Jackson after Jackson was found unconscious.",
"Another source with knowledge of the case said Jackson's veins were collapsed in both arms, suggesting frequent intravenous drug use.",
"The first source said Jackson's body was \"lily white from head to toe,\" perhaps the result of vitiligo -- a condition that causes the skin to lose melanin and produce slowly enlarging white patches.",
"Another source with knowledge of the case said Jackson had \"paper white skin.",
"As white as a white T-shirt.\"",
"Jackson also did not have any hair -- a lingering effect, possibly, of an accident in 1984 when Jackson suffered burns to Jackson's scalp while shooting a commercial for Pepsi.",
"Also, said the second source, Jackson was emaciated -- despite the vigor Jackson's seen displaying in a taped rehearsal clip shot two nights before Jackson's death.",
"The drug Diprivan, known by the drug's generic name Propofol, is administered intravenously in operating rooms as a general anesthetic.",
"Last week, a nutritionist -- Cherilyn Lee -- said Jackson pleaded for the drug despite being told of the drug's harmful effects, because Jackson had difficulty falling asleep.",
"Sources close to Jackson told CNN that Jackson traveled with an anesthesiologist who would \"take Jackson down\" at night and \"bring Jackson back up\" during a world tour in the mid-'90s.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"John Dillinger's been a homicidal singing barber in \"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street\" and a drunken swashbuckler in \"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.\"",
"Johnny Depp is back as bank robber John Dillinger, revered in the Depression as a modern-day Robin Hood.",
"Now, Johnny Depp is back as another unexpectedly charismatic outlaw: Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, a character Johnny Depp says Johnny Depp's been drawn to since Johnny Depp was a boy.",
"\"I sort of had a fascination with John Dillinger when I was about 10, 11 years old, for some reason,\" Johnny Depp told CNN.",
"\"I always kind of admired John Dillinger, oddly.\"",
"Oddly, perhaps, because for a short but intense period between September 1933 and July 1934 John Dillinger and John Dillinger's gang rampaged through the American Midwest, staging jail breaks, robbing banks, and killing 10 men and wounding seven along the way.",
"John Dillinger's violent spree is the focus of gangster drama \"Public Enemies,\" the latest offering from director Michael Mann, and also starring Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard.",
"director Michael Mann is known for director Michael Mann's sympathetic portrayal of criminals, and Dillinger -- whose acts on the wrong side of the law led him to become one of America's first celebrities -- is the quintessential good hood.",
"In the 1930s, the United States was in the grips of the worst financial disaster in history -- a time when many Americans watched many Americans's life savings disappear and became jobless and hungry.",
"Members of the public blamed banks for losing banks's money and politicians for failing to stop banks.",
"For many, John Dillinger's exploits represented sticking it to the fat cats, and John Dillinger was idolized as a modern-day Robin Hood.",
"J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director at the time, may have made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy No. 1, but the bandit was careful not to alienate the public.",
"There is a memorable moment where John Dillinger drapes a coat over a female bank hostage during a raid to keep her warm.",
"Also, it's said John Dillinger never swore in front of women.",
"John Dillinger was always courteous even as John Dillinger tried to meet John Dillinger's target of robbing banks in under two minutes.",
"Crucially, John Dillinger never robbed the average guy, telling him to put his money away during robberies.",
"It is John Dillinger that Johnny Depp captures: a captivating revolutionary with the gift of gab who lit the public's imagination, causing people to flock to cinemas to watch John Dillinger's exploits in weekly newsreels.",
"Review:",
"Johnny Depp is great in 'Public Enemies'",
"Of course, the dark, violent side of Dillinger's psyche is unavoidable.",
"Johnny Depp plumbed the depths of Johnny Depp's own character to come up with those murkier elements.",
"That was something that took courage, according to Mann: \"Johnny Depp had John Dillinger in Johnny Depp; that's something I sensed.",
"Deep in the core of Johnny there's a toughness.\"",
"Johnny Depp gained recognition throughout the 1990s for immersing Johnny Depp in characters.",
"Johnny Depp shook off an early reputation as a teen pin-up in movies like Tim Burton's 1991 Gothic tale \"Edward Scissorhands.\"",
"Johnny Depp went on to cement Johnny Depp's reputation for unusual film choices and quirky performances in films like \"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory\" (2005) and \"Finding Neverland\" (2004).",
"In pictures: Johnny Depp's iconic roles » .",
"Johnny Depp says Johnny Depp felt a close affinity to John Dillinger: \"I related to John Dillinger like he was a relative.",
"I felt John Dillinger was of the same blood.",
"John Dillinger reminded me of my stepdad and very much of my grandfather.",
"\"John Dillinger seemed to be one of those guys with absolutely no bull whatsoever, who lived at a time when a man was a man.\"",
"\"Public Enemies\" was adapted by director Michael Mann from a nonfiction book of the same name by Bryan Burrough.",
"Is it sozzled Captain. Jack Sparrow or smooth Donnie Brasco?",
"Tell us your favorite Johnny Depp character in the SoundOff box below.",
"The \"Last of the Mohicans\" director is known for fastidious research and attention to detail, which in this case included collaborating closely with the FBI to check facts -- although director Michael Mann subsequently chose to gloss over some elements for the sake of the story.",
"director Michael Mann filmed in many of the locations where John Dillinger's story took place almost 80 years ago, including the Biograph Theater on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, where John Dillinger was finally shot dead by the FBI agents as John Dillinger came out of a Clark Gable movie.",
"They also shot at Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters in the far north of Wisconsin, the site of one of John Dillinger's most famous showdowns with the FBI.",
"John Dillinger was hiding out there after a botched robbery.",
"When the feds finally caught up with John Dillinger, two men were killed in the vicious gunfight.",
"\"We were able to shoot not just in the actual place where this happened, but in John Dillinger's actual room,\" says director Michael Mann.",
"\"There's a certain kind of magic for Johnny Depp to be lying in the bed that John Dillinger was actually in.\"",
"A lot of John Dillinger's success was down to superior guns and getaway cars.",
"Depp, who has experience shooting guns from previous productions, had to learn a completely different technique for the heavy guns of the time.",
"Johnny Depp says shooting the Thompson submachine gun was one of the highlights of the production: \"When you've got a beast like that strapped to you and you're emptying magazines, a 50-round drum, it's a good feeling.\"",
"The ride may have been thrilling for Johnny Depp but Johnny Depp also recognizes that the Depression-era setting has some extra significance these tight-belted times.",
"\"You know,\" says Johnny Depp, \"We're in the middle of a recession, teetering on a depression.",
"It's time to view the banks and grown-ups for what the banks and grown-ups are.\""

"The chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court says The chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court has evidence to prove Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is guilty of genocide, even though Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is not charged with the crime.",
"Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir remains president and has traveled to several countries since warrant was issued.",
"Luis Moreno-Ocampo spoke to CNN on Wednesday, two days after Luis Moreno-Ocampo appealed to the International Criminal Court to add genocide to the existing arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.",
"the International Criminal Court issued the existing arrest warrant for al-Bashir in March on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity relating to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's five-year campaign of violence in western Sudan's Darfur region.",
"\"The evidence shows it is genocide,\" Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"the existing arrest warrant for al-Bashir was the first one ever issued for a sitting head of state by the world's only permanent war crimes tribunal, based at The Hague in the Netherlands.",
"the existing arrest warrant for al-Bashir includes five counts of crimes against humanity, including murder, extermination, forcible transfer, torture and rape.",
"the existing arrest warrant for al-Bashir also includes two charges of war crimes for intentionally directing attacks against civilians and for pillaging.",
"Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir remains president and has traveled to several countries since the existing arrest warrant for al-Bashir was issued, even though any country that is party to the ICC has an obligation to hand Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir over to The Hague, the International Criminal Court says.",
"The United Nations estimates that 300,000 people have been killed in the conflict in Darfur, and 2.5 million have been forced to flee their homes.",
"Sudan denies the death toll is that high.",
"The violence in Darfur erupted in 2003 after rebels began an uprising against the Sudanese government.",
"To counter rebels, Sudanese authorities armed and cooperated with Arab militias that went from village to village in Darfur, killing, torturing and raping residents there, according to The United Nations, Western governments and human rights organizations.",
"The militias targeted civilian members of tribes from which rebels drew strength.",
"In his appeal to the International Criminal Court Monday, Luis Moreno-Ocampo complained that the judges' standard for adding the genocide charge to the warrant is too high.",
"the judges' want Luis Moreno-Ocampo to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir committed genocide, but that level of proof is not required for a warrant, which only requires a reasonable inference of guilt, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"\"They are requesting a level of evidence that is the level of evidence required at the trial stage, not at the beginning of the process,\" Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"Part of the reason that prosecutors cannot provide more evidence at this stage is because Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is attacking witnesses who are willing to provide information to prosecutors, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"Presenting more evidence could endanger the victims, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"\"It's a legal issue,\" Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"\"The judgment by itself is very important, but in addition I cannot accept this wrong legal standard.\"",
"the judges' believe the crimes that Luis Moreno-Ocampo classifies as genocide instead fall under the category of crimes against humanity, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said.",
"Even if Luis Moreno-Ocampo were successful in adding genocide to the warrant, Luis Moreno-Ocampo would still face a difficult task in proving the charges at trial, said Mark Ellis, the executive director of the International Bar Association.",
"\"Genocide is a much more complicated legal position to meet (than war crimes and crimes against humanity) because you have to show in proving genocide that there was an intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a group based on -- in this case -- ethnicity or race,\" Mark Ellis, the executive director of the International Bar Association told CNN.",
"\"Obviously Luis Moreno-Ocampo believes Luis Moreno-Ocampo would be able to prove this intent and so Luis Moreno-Ocampo wants the opportunity to prove that in trial.\"",
"But if Luis Moreno-Ocampo loses the appeal, Mark Ellis, the executive director of the International Bar Association said, it would not minimize the seriousness of the case.",
"\"The charges that have been (alleged) on war crimes and crimes against humanity are still very serious charges and The charges that have been (alleged) on war crimes and crimes against humanity are egregious acts,\" Mark Ellis, the executive director of the International Bar Association said.",
"A ruling on the appeal is likely within six months, Luis Moreno-Ocampo told CNN."

"It's been nine years since Kim and Curtis Christiansen were married.",
"Since then they've had their ups and downs, but they've remained close.",
"But when Curtis began snoring about three years ago, Kim began sleeping on the couch.",
"After Curtis Christiansen's snoring drove Kim's wife, Kim, to sleep on the couch, Curtis Christiansen saw a sleep specialist.",
"\"Curtis Christiansen's snoring was so loud.",
"At first I would just elbow Curtis Christiansen to wake Curtis Christiansen up,\" Kim said, \"But then I became concerned.",
"Curtis Christiansen would just (Kim gasps for breath).",
"It would take Curtis Christiansen's breath away.\"",
"At first Curtis Curtis Christiansen figured Curtis Christiansen was tired, a little run down from Curtis Christiansen's job.",
"Curtis Christiansen thought his snoring was just a symptom of Curtis Christiansen's exhaustion.",
"But when Curtis Christiansen started nodding off while waiting at a traffic light, Curtis Christiansen knew something was wrong.",
"\"I became more aware of this choking and waking-up feeling,\" Curtis Christiansen said.",
"Kim Christiansen finally persuaded Kim's husband to go to a sleep specialist.",
"The diagnosis: obstructive sleep apnea.",
"According to the National Sleep Foundation, more than 18 million American adults have sleep apnea, and many of more than 18 million American adults don't know it.",
"Some people think Some people's snoring is just a side effect of a busy lifestyle.",
"Watch more on the difference between sleep apnea and snoring » .",
"In some cases, that's true.",
"But the National Sleep Foundation says the National Sleep Foundation's trying to get more people to realize how important it is to know the difference between occasional snoring and apnea.",
"Studies have shown that sleep apnea has some serious side effects.",
"A disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep, apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, despite efforts to breathe.",
"That can cause broken sleep patterns and low blood oxygen levels.",
"Doctors say these side effects can lead to hypertension, heart disease, and mood and memory problems.",
"In a recent study at the University of Maryland Medical Center, researchers found that sleep apnea can cause a rise in depression and that sleep-related breathing disorders can also worsen nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder.",
"And because sufferers are usually sleepy during the day, apnea can increase the risk of automobile crashes.",
"There's no question it can be life-threatening, doctors say.",
"So how do you know whether your snoring is something more serious?",
"When snoring starts to affect your daily habits, you should see a doctor, said Dr. Thomas LoRusso, director of the Northern Virginia Sleep Diagnostic Centers.",
"\"A bed partner may notice that the patient stops breathing and snores loudly, \" LoRusso said.",
"\"And the daytime symptoms are sleepiness, poor concentration, problems waking up in the morning.\"",
"LoRusso says a good way to check your sleep habits is to note your levels of fatigue during the day and jot down other symptoms you might be having.",
"And if you have a bed partner, ask whether he or she has noticed any \"choking or gasping while you snore,\" LoRusso said.",
"\"The person you sleep with, many times, knows your snoring better than you.\"",
"Specific lifestyle changes can help you avoid sleep apnea, the sleep foundation said.",
"LoRusso agrees.",
"\"Cut out the alcohol,\" LoRusso said.",
"\"It can make the upper airway muscles to relax.\"",
"And watch your weight.",
"Losing pounds can \"cure\" sleep apnea, especially for overweight people, LoRusso said.",
"If you smoke, try to quit, LoRusso said.",
"Smoking creates swelling in the upper airway, making apnea worse.",
"These seemingly small changes can have dramatic results.",
"\"In some cases, changing these factors can eliminate sleep apnea from some patients,\" LoRusso said.",
"For Curtis Christiansen, it wasn't that easy.",
"Not only was Curtis Christiansen thin and a non-smoker, Curtis Christiansen suffered from high blood pressure and high cholesterol and, because of a previous health issue, had only one kidney.",
"Curtis Christiansen needed help immediately.",
"Curtis Christiansen's doctor recommended a device called a CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure device.",
"It's a mask or nose piece that blows air into the airway to keep the airway open while a patient sleeps.",
"Although surgery is an option for those who have problems even with the CPAP, Curtis Christiansen wasn't one of those who have problems even with the CPAP.",
"Since Curtis Christiansen's diagnosis, Curtis Christiansen has gotten Curtis Christiansen's blood pressure under control.",
"When Curtis Christiansen started wearing the CPAP, Curtis Christiansen confesses, Curtis Christiansen'd leave the CPAP behind when Curtis Christiansen went out of town.",
"\"But I found I wasn't getting a good night's sleep, so now I take the CPAP along,\" Curtis Christiansen said with a smile, \"and I have a restful vacation with my wife.\""

"BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN/In Session) --",
"Ex-wife earned $1 million a year as a high-powered financial executive, yet Ex-wife told a jury Ex-wife woke up hungry in a cold house because Ex-wife's husband controlled everything.",
"Ex-wife testifies about the 12 years Ex-wife spent with a man Ex-wife thought was one of the Rockefellers.",
"Ex-wife said it took years to leave the man who told Ex-wife Impostor was a member of the moneyed Rockefeller clan because Ex-wife didn't know the online passwords to their bank accounts.",
"Being the breadwinner offered Ex-wife no status in Ex-wife's marriage, Sandra Lynn Boss, 42, testified Tuesday at Ex-wife's former husband's kidnapping trial.",
"\"You mistakenly confuse money and power.",
"Money and power are not the same thing in a relationship,\" Ex-wife explained under cross-examination by Ex-wife's former husband's defense attorney, Jeffrey Denner, who at times seemed stunned by Ex-wife's answers.",
"The lawyer asked Ex-wife why Ex-wife didn't assert Ex-wife given that Ex-wife was a \"dynamic, intelligent woman\" who financially supported the family.",
"Ex-wife responded, \"I did assert Ex-wife but the abuse was pretty rough.",
"There was a lot of anger and yelling.\"",
"Watch how Ex-wife felt powerless to leave » .",
"Ex-wife said Ex-wife believed the fanciful stories Ex-wife's husband wove around Impostor's image as Clark Rockefeller and never saw any sign of mental illness.",
"Denner asked how a successful businesswoman who was educated at Stanford and Harvard universities could fall for an impostor who called himself Clark Rockefeller.",
"\"There's a big difference between intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence,\" Ex-wife explained.",
"\"I'm not saying I made a very good choice of a husband.",
"It's obvious I had a pretty big blind spot.\"",
"Rockefeller, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, is accused of kidnapping their daughter, Reigh, for six days in July and taking the child to Baltimore, Maryland, where Impostor'd bought a townhouse near the harbor.",
"Impostor's trial began last week in Boston, Massachusetts.",
"In Ex-wife's second day on the stand, Ex-wife described the decline of a 12-year marriage that began with a whirlwind summer romance before Ex-wife's second year at Harvard business school.",
"By the time Ex-wife's marriage ended, Ex-wife said, \"My personal life was scary.\"",
"Ex-wife repeatedly referred to Ex-wife's 48-year-old ex-husband as \"the defendant.\"",
"Defense attorney Denner referred to Defense attorney Denner's client as \"Clark\" during questioning.",
"Boss, who now lives in London, England, with Reigh, 8, publicly told Ex-wife's story for the first time on the witness stand.",
"Ex-wife has been excoriated in the media.",
"One New York writer called Ex-wife a \"ding-bat doormat\" who married a \"Crockefeller.\"",
"It's more complicated than that, Ex-wife explained under cross-examination.",
"\"Impostor told compelling stories.",
"It seems stupid in hindsight, and it really was, but that is how it was. ...",
"I lived with a person who told me a set of internally consistent things.\"",
"And so, Ex-wife never questioned why Impostor never seemed to make any money, possess a driver's license, or bring any family around.",
"Ex-wife had no doubt Impostor had a billion-dollar art collection, even if Ex-wife was annoyed Impostor would refuse to sell off a piece or two when money got tight",
"Ex-wife was questioned at length about one particularly bizarre story Impostor told.",
"Impostor said a fall down some stairs left Impostor mute as a child -- until Impostor saw a dog and spontaneously uttered \"woofness\" at age 10.",
"Ex-wife did acknowledge on the stand that Ex-wife considered \"woofness\" to be a \"stupid word.\"",
"And, Ex-wife said Ex-wife didn't question Impostor when Impostor told Ex-wife that asking people to pay Impostor for work Impostor did was beneath the dignity of a Rockefeller.",
"Ex-wife initiated divorce proceedings after hiring a private investigator in 2006, who determined that Ex-wife's husband definitely was not who Impostor said Impostor was.",
"Impostor agreed to part, surrendering custody of their daughter for $800,000, two cars, Ex-wife's engagement ring and a dress Impostor had given Ex-wife.",
"On July 27, during an agreed-upon custodial visit, Impostor allegedly abducted Reigh.",
"\"I was completely traumatized,\" Ex-wife said.",
"\"I was hysterical.\"",
"Defense attorney Denner questioned Ex-wife at length about Ex-wife's client's mental state during their marriage.",
"Ex-wife said Impostor told Ex-wife in 1999 that Impostor thought Impostor was having a nervous breakdown folowing the Asian market collapse.",
"They moved from New York as a result.",
"But, despite the defense attorney's prodding, Ex-wife would not characterize Ex-wife's former husband as delusional.",
"\"The defendant was often very unpleasant -- lack of empathy, anger, control issues, absolutely.",
"I'm not a psychologist, but Impostor was hard to live with ...",
"I saw behavior that made me think that Impostor wasn't at all well, yes,\" Ex-wife testified.",
"Again, Defense attorney Denner suggested that Ex-wife's situation did not make sense, pointing out, \"You are a consultant with one of the most prestigious companies.\"",
"Ex-wife replied: \"I come from a place where you don't even jaywalk.",
"It never occurred to Ex-wife that I was living with someone who was lying to Impostor.\"",
"Ex-wife added, \"He was lying to a lot of people.\"",
"Ex-wife was followed to the stand by FBI experts and another former wife.",
"The defense case could begin Wednesday."

"President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday held Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu's first face-to-face meeting since each took power, confronting a range of potentially divisive issues.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama visit at the White House on Monday.",
"At a pivotal moment in the Middle East peace process, the two leaders met at the White House to discuss, among other things, the endorsement of a two-state Palestinian solution and relations with Iran.",
"The issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions became an increasingly urgent one in recent months.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants a time limit for negotiations relating to such ambitions, with the threat of military action if no resolution is reached.",
"President Obama is seen as unlikely to provide a timetable.",
"Both Israel and the United States believe Iran is seeking nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear energy program; Tehran denies the accusation.",
"Israeli leaders have pointed to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls for the end of Israel as a Jewish state and argue that quick action is needed.",
"At an Oval Office news conference, President Obama again refused to commit to an \"artificial deadline\" for Iranian negotiations.",
"But President Obama also warned that President Obama would not allow such talks to be used as an excuse for delay while Iran develops a nuclear arsenal.",
"President Obama said President Obama expects to accelerate such talks after the June Iranian elections.",
"\"I firmly believe it is in Iran's interest not to develop nuclear weapons, because it would trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and be profoundly destabilizing in all sorts of ways,\" President Obama said.",
"It \"is important ... to be mindful of the fact that we're not going to have talks forever.",
"We're not going to create a situation in which talks become an excuse for inaction while Iran proceeds with developing ... and deploying a nuclear weapon.\"",
"President Obama said the United States is not \"foreclosing a range of steps, including much stronger international sanctions, in assuring that Iran understands that we are serious.\"",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that although \"the common goal is peace ... the common threat we face are terrorist threats and organizations that seek to undermine [that] peace and threaten both our peoples.\"",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Iran the biggest threat to peace in the region.",
"\"If Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons, Iran could give a nuclear umbrella to terrorists, or worse, could actually give [terrorists] nuclear weapons.",
"And that would put us all in great peril,\" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.",
"The divide between Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu -- President Obama is considered to have a more conciliatory approach to the Arab world than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- was dramatically illustrated shortly before Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting by Israel's decision to begin construction at the West Bank outpost of Maskiyot.",
"A number of families evacuated from Gaza are now being resettled in Maskiyot; several are living in temporary housing.",
"A government spokesman said the construction's start date and the timing of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip are a coincidence.",
"President Obama wants such outposts dismantled, along with an immediate freeze on settlement expansion.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to allow natural growth in Jewish settlements in the West Bank -- for example, allowing children who grow up in a settlement to build a home alongside that of children who grow up in a settlement's parents.",
"President Obama also supports the idea of a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not endorsed the idea of a Palestinian state, arguing that Israel needs security guarantees and a clear Palestinian partner for peace talks.",
"\"I want to make it clear that we don't want to govern the Palestinians.",
"[If] Israel's security conditions are met and there's recognition of Israel's legitimacy -- Israel's permanent legitimacy -- then I think we can envision an arrangement where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side in dignity, security and in peace,\" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.",
"Pressed on the question of a two-state solution, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thinks \"the terminology will take care of the terminology if we have the substantive understanding.\"",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet were sworn in March 31.",
"A day later, Israel's new hard-line foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, distanced himself from the Annapolis process, the 2007 relaunch of peace talks adopted by his predecessor, Tzipi Livni.",
"The PLO issued a statement after the meeting criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to more explicitly endorse a two-state solution.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu \"missed yet another opportunity to show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be a genuine partner for peace,\" chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said.",
"\"Calling for negotiations without a clearly defined end-goal offers only the promise of more process, not progress.\" chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat praised President Obama for supporting a freeze on Israeli settlement activity.",
"Despite their differences, President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree on numerous key issues, such as U.S. military and financial support for Israel.",
"President Obama highlighted President Obama's stance during President Obama's presidential campaign.",
"President Obama also supports funding for Palestinian entities not controlled by Hamas, which controls Gaza and which the United States labels a terrorist organization.",
"Before making Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with leaders of Jordan and Egypt, viewed as potential partners in the effort to bring peace to the region.",
"President Obama will host Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on May 26 and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on May 28.",
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also scheduled to deliver a long-awaited speech on relations between the United States and the Muslim world in Cairo, Egypt, on June 4.",
"Some Palestinian leaders have expressed hope that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from the new U.S. administration, may soon choose to accept the principle of a two-state solution.",
"\"If, in fact, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were to make an unequivocal statement about acceptance of this as a solution concept, then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should immediately be asked to begin, immediately, to implement Israel's other obligations under the road map,\" said Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister.",
"The road map, put together by the Mideast Quartet -- composed of the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States -- calls on Israel to stop settlement building and Palestinians to stop terrorism.",
"The plan was introduced in 2003 but immediately stalled.",
"Monday's meeting between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was largely expected to be a chance for Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu's positions rather than iron out differences.",
"Aides on Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that each leader views the other as a friend in peace efforts.",
"CNN's Paula Hancocks contributed to this report."

"Then the splitting migraines came.",
"Shawna Coronado soon discovered the furry causes: Harrington and Kalamazoo.",
"Shawna Coronado endures headaches and congestion to keep Shawna Coronado's 30-pound pug, Harrington.",
"Shawna Coronado's 30-pound pug and orange tabby scattered dead skin flakes around the house, triggering Shawna Coronado's allergic reactions.",
"Shawna Coronado's two daughters are also allergic, but Her two daughters's reactions are less severe.",
"Like the 10 million American pet owners with allergies, the Coronados faced a dilemma: Can human and dog co-exist in the same house?",
"\"the Coronados love them,\" said Shawna Coronado about Shawna Coronado's family's pets.",
"\"her family's pets're adorable.",
"her family's pets're really the Coronados's babies.",
"her family's pets're part of the family.",
"the Coronados could never live without her family's pets.\"",
"Allergies can cause itchy eyes, hives, sneezing, congestion or even asthma.",
"To keep animals around, allergic pet owners get shots, pop antihistamines, squeeze eyedrops, squirt nasal spray, use inhalers or just deal with it.",
"Others try to find a dog that won't trigger the symptoms.",
"President-elect Barack Obama's family has said President-elect Barack Obama's family is seeking a \"hypoallergenic dog,\" because of President-elect Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia's, allergies.",
"Unfortunately, there's no such thing.",
"The belief that certain breeds are hypoallergenic is \"a complete misconception,\" said Dr. Robert Wood, chief of pediatric allergy and immunology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.",
"\"You can't predict by type or breed, or length of hair.\"",
"Pet allergies are not caused by dog hair, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology noted in a recent statement.",
"\"The allergen is produced in saliva, urine, dander-- it's not just hair,\" said Dr. Wanda Phipatanakul, an allergist at Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.",
"\"Even with a hairless dog, there are still allergens.\"",
"For their next pet, the Coronados are considering a poodle.",
"Although poodles, bichon frises and Malteses are often touted as hypoallergenic dogs, these breeds all produce allergens.",
"There hasn't been sufficient research to determine whether certain breeds are more allergy-friendly, said Dr. Clifford Bassett, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at The Long Island College Hospital in New York.",
"\"There is not a lot of research in this area,\" Dr. Clifford Bassett, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at The Long Island College Hospital in New York said.",
"\"There are differences between breeds, but we don't have research to definitively say.",
"They all produce allergens.\"",
"The key factors are the animal's size and the volume of hair.",
"The fur can collect pollens, mold spore and allergens and bring them indoors, triggering reactions.",
"Even so, reactions vary widely, because everyone's body is different, doctors say.",
"Before committing to a pet, make an arrangement to bring the animal to the home for a trial period to see how the person with allergies fares.",
"\"It's always going to be trial and error,\" Wood said.",
"\"Someone might be allergic to one breed, but the main dog allergen that people are allergic to is present in all dogs.\"",
"It is also possible for someone to develop dog allergies months or years after bringing the animal home.",
"If symptoms arise, doctors recommend getting tested to be certain that the allergy is coming from the animal.",
"Allergic reactions could come from other irritants, such as pollen or dust.",
"A person's allergies can also inexplicably change over time.",
"In the same way that some people outgrow food allergies, there is a rare possibility that pet owners could outgrow pet owners's allergies to animals, experts said.",
"Pills and medications are available to treat the symptoms, but the best remedy, said Philatanakul, is to not have pets.",
"\"There's nothing that can be done except for avoidance,\" she said.",
"\"There's no cure.",
"You're exposing yourself to high levels of allergens in your home.",
"We generally recommend they should not have a pet.",
"It's not recommended.\"",
"For many families, having a loving, furry companion outweighs the runny noses, wheezing and water eyes.",

"After cutting out beer, bread and cheese from Shawna Coronado's diet, Shawna Coronado says Shawna Coronado doesn't get as many allergic reactions.",
"But Shawna Coronado can't pick up the cat without getting congested.",
"Sometimes Harrington and Kalamazoo trot into the house bringing all sorts of allergens with them and trigger Shawna Coronado's allergic reactions.",
"Despite the discomforts, the Coronados aren't getting rid of the Coronados's animals.",
"\"the Coronados's lives are so enriched because the Coronados have dogs and cats,\" Shawna Coronado said.",
"\"You can live in a positive way and live well with the pets or you can suffer every day and think it's miserable.",
"It's really how you look at it.",
"The reason we live with pets is because we live life in a positive way and we work it out.\"",
"Shawna Coronado's two daughters have cat allergies, but Her two daughters don't have asthma or breathing difficulties, so Kalamazoo is staying put in their Warrenville, Illinois, home.",
"\"Pets are healing for we humans,\" Coronado said.",
"\"Pets are for my children.",
"the Coronados adore Pets as part of the family.",
"On a mental health level, children gain something from pets.",
"Children gain a lot from being in nature and being outside.",
"Dogs and cats as pets are part of that experience.\"",
"Pets do provide therapeutic value, said Dr. Clifford Bassett, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at The Long Island College Hospital in New York.",

"On Tuesday morning, hundreds of donors contributed more than $17,000 through Jackson.",
"But then, the high volume of traffic caused it to crash frequently and for long periods of time, the mayor's office said.",

"Massachusetts sued the U.S. government on Wednesday, challenging the constitutionality of a federal law that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman.",
"Massachusetts says Defense of Marriage Act denies same-sex couples essential rights.",
"\"Massachusetts're taking this action today because, first, Massachusetts believe that [the Defense of Marriage Act] directly interferes with Massachusetts's long-standing sovereign authority to define and regulate the marital status of Massachusetts's residents,\" Attorney General Martha Coakley said Wednesday afternoon.",
"\"Massachusetts has a single category of married persons, and we view all married persons equally and identically,\" she said.",
"\"DOMA divides that category into two distinct and unequal classes of marriage.\"",
"The lawsuit argues that the act, which became law in 1996, denies same-sex couples essential rights and protections, including federal income tax credits, employment and retirement benefits, health insurance coverage and Social Security payments.",
"\"In enacting DOMA, Congress overstepped Congress's authority, undermined states' efforts to recognize marriages between same-sex couples, and codified an animus towards gay and lesbian people,\" Massachusetts wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in federal court.",
"Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, said that about 16,000 same-sex couples have been married there since 2004, when it began issuing marriage licenses.",
"Since that time, The lawsuit said, \"the security and stability of families has been strengthened in important ways throughout Massachusetts.",
"\" Massachusetts is challenging Section 3 of the law, which defines marriage as \"a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife\" and a spouse as \"a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.\"",
"Before the act, The lawsuit argues, defining marital status was the prerogative of the states.",
"Defense of Marriage Act \"eviscerated more than 200 years of federal government deference to the states with respect to defining marriage,\" it said.",
"The lawsuit also argues that Defense of Marriage Act forces Massachusetts to treat same-sex married couples differently from heterosexual married couples, particularly through determining who qualifies for the state's Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, and whether a same-sex spouse of a veteran can be buried in a veteran cemetery.",
"\"But for DOMA, married individuals in same-sex relationships in the commonwealth would receive the same status, obligations, responsibilities, rights, and protections as married individuals in different-sex relationships under local, state, and federal laws,\" The lawsuit said.",
"The defendants named in The lawsuit include the Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and the United States itself.",
"Charles Miller, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said the Department of Justice will review the case but noted that President Obama supports the legislative repeal of Defense of Marriage Act.",
"In March, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders -- the same Boston-based group that successfully argued in 2003 for same-sex marriage rights in Massachusetts -- also sued the federal government over Section 3 of Defense of Marriage Act.",
"Besides Massachusetts, three other states recognize same-sex marriages: Connecticut, Maine, and Iowa.",
"Vermont and New Hampshire will join Vermont and New Hampshire's company when same-sex marriages become legal later this year and early next year."

"Sunday, Jim McDonnell, assistant chief of staff of the Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday, said Forest Lawn officials were working with the Jackson family on their plans, which were part of \"a package\" of events Tuesday.",
"His comments, however, did not answer questions about where or when Jackson would be buried.",
"There is speculation that the burial will be at Forest Lawn's Glendale location, but the media have been swarming around the Hollywood Hills memorial park, located right off the freeway behind Disney Studios.",
"Tito Jackson's ex-wife, Delores \"Dee Dee\" Jackson, is believed to be buried there.",
"Forest Lawn Memorial is the first stop tourists make in search of the crypts of Hollywood greats.",
"Numerous books and Web sites such as findagrave.com and seeing-stars.com claim to have insider knowledge about celebrity grave locations on the properties, but Forest Lawn is unrelentingly secretive about who, exactly, is entombed in Forest Lawn's parks.",
"\"Forest Lawn hold the privacy of Forest Lawn's client families in very high regard,\" said Bill Martin, spokesman for the Glendale location, which is considered the \"mother lode\" for celebrity grave hunters.",
"\"There are certain areas and property types that have limited access.\"",
"The tombs of Sammy Davis Jr., Humphrey Bogart and Jean Harlow are in locked areas not accessible to the general public, according to findagrave.com.",
"With that kind of commitment to privacy, it's understandable why Jackson, known for being reclusive, might be buried there.",
"Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks, said Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks wouldn't be surprised if Jackson were to be buried at either location.",
"Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks was first drawn to Forest Lawn Glendale because of Forest Lawn Glendale's artwork and statuary, but once Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks found out that celebrities were \"buried with the regular people,\" Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks said, Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks began to grave hunt.",
"\"We leave flowers and take pictures,\" Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks said of Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks's time at famous graves.",
"\"It's the way of remembering someone who made a difference, who cheered me up when I was a kid or entertained me.",
"With Jackson ... if Jackson ends up at a cemetery, I'll definitely go and take flowers.",
"They feel like a member of the family, so you treat them like a member of the family.\"",
"Even if you can't find a way to see your favorite celebrity's crypt, Los Angeles residents said that just stepping foot in Forest Lawn Glendale is an experience in itself.",
"\"I know for some people cemeteries can be intimidating or just where you go to mourn.",
"But at Forest Lawn, it isn't sad; it's really a beautiful place,\" said Beth Zeigler, an Echo Park, California, professional who frequents Forest Lawn Glendale's museum.",
"But if you call any of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuaries a cemetery, you would be remiss.",
"There are certainly graves behind Forest Lawn Glendale's majestic wrought-iron gates, but that's where the similarities end.",
"Amid Forest Lawn Glendale's 300 acres, Forest Lawn Glendale has three churches, replicas of all of Michelangelo's works and a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's \"The Last Supper\" in stained glass.",
"Instead of above-ground tombstones, Forest Lawn Glendale uses flat, engraved markers for grave sites, so from afar all you can see are grassy hills.",
"Forest Lawn Glendale draws over a million visitors each year, including 70,000 who come to get married.",
"Built in 1906 as a traditional cemetery, Forest Lawn was revamped by Dr. Hubert Eaton in 1917.",
"Like Jackson, Dr. Hubert Eaton was \"an icon [of Dr. Hubert Eaton's] time,\" said Laura Kath, author of \"100 Years in the Life of Forest Lawn.\"",
"\"[Dr. Hubert Eaton] is the man who first envisioned the memorial park concept, that cemeteries should not be filled with tombstones but should celebrate the life of those entombed there and celebrate the living,\" Laura Kath, author of \"100 Years in the Life of Forest Lawn said, \"and people loved the whole concept.",
"Dr. Hubert Eaton was a visionary.\"",
"Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks agrees whole-heartedly with Dr. Hubert Eaton's vision.",
"\"Cemeteries are for the living,\" Avid grave hunter Lisa Burks, who frequents both the Glendale and Hollywood Hills parks said about her visits to celebrity tombs.",
"\"We're remembering celebrity tombs.",
"It sounds crazy, but I dare anyone to do it, and I'd bet it would make anyone feel good.\""

"(CNN) --",
"Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a key architect of the U.S. war in Vietnam under presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, has died at age 93, according to his family.",
"Robert McNamara took a lead role in managing the U.S. military commitment in Vietnam.",
"Robert McNamara was a member of President Kennedy's inner circle during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the United States and the Soviet Union stood on the brink of nuclear war.",
"But Robert McNamara became a public lightning rod for Robert McNamara's management of the war in Vietnam, overseeing the U.S. military commitment there as it grew from fewer than 1,000 advisers to more than half a million troops.",
"Though the increasingly unpopular conflict was sometimes dubbed \"McNamara's War,\" Robert McNamara later said both administrations were \"terribly wrong\" to have pursued military action beyond 1963.",
"\"External military force cannot reconstruct a failed state, and Vietnam, during much of that period, was a failed state politically,\" Robert McNamara told CNN in a 1996 interview for the \"Cold War\" documentary series.",
"\"We didn't recognize it as such.\"",
"A native of San Francisco, Robert McNamara studied economics at the University of California and earned a master's degree in business from Harvard.",
"Robert McNamara was a staff officer in the Army Air Corps during World War II, when Robert McNamara studied the results of American bombing raids on Germany and Japan in search of ways to improve American bombing raids on Germany and Japan's accuracy and efficiency.",
"After the war, Robert McNamara joined the Ford Motor Company and became the Ford Motor Company's president in November 1960 -- the first person to lead the Ford Motor Company from outside the Ford Motor Company's founding family.",
"A month later, President Kennedy asked Robert McNamara to become secretary of defense, making Robert McNamara one of the \"whiz kids\" who joined the young president's administration.",
"In October 1962, after the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, Robert McNamara was one of President Kennedy's top advisers in the standoff that followed.",
"The United States imposed a naval \"quarantine\" on Cuba, a Soviet ally, and prepared for possible airstrikes or an invasion.",
"The Soviets withdrew the missiles in exchange for a U.S. guarantee not to invade Cuba, a step that allowed Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev to present the pullback as a success to Soviet premier Nikita Kruschev's own people.",
"In the 2003 documentary \"The Fog of War,\" Robert McNamara told filmmaker Errol Morris that the experience taught American policymakers to \"put American policymakers inside American policymakers's skin and look at American policymakers through American policymakers's eyes.\"",
"But he added, \"In the end, American policymakers lucked out.",
"It was luck that prevented nuclear war.\"",
"Robert McNamara is credited with using the management techniques Robert McNamara mastered as a corporate executive to streamline the Pentagon, computerizing and smoothing out much of the U.S. military's vast purchasing and personnel system.",
"And in Vietnam, Robert McNamara attempted to use those techniques to measure the progress of Vietnam.",
"Metrics such as use of \"body counts\" and scientific solutions such as using the herbicide Agent Orange to defoliate jungles in which communist guerrillas hid became trademarks of the conflict.",
"Robert McNamara made several trips to South Vietnam to study the situation firsthand.",
"Robert McNamara, Johnson and other U.S. officials portrayed Vietnam as a necessary battle in the Cold War, a proxy struggle to prevent communism from taking control of all of Southeast Asia.",
"But while He, Johnson and other U.S. officials saw the conflict as another front in the standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, which backed communist North Vietnam, Robert McNamara acknowledged later that He, Johnson and other U.S. officials underestimated Vietnamese nationalism and opposition to the U.S.-backed government in Saigon.",
"\"The conflict within South Vietnam itself had all of the characteristics of a civil war, and we didn't look upon The conflict within South Vietnam itself as largely a civil war, and we weren't measuring our progress as one would have in what was largely a civil war,\" Robert McNamara told CNN.",
"Casualties mounted, as did domestic opposition to Vietnam.",
"In 1965, a Quaker anti-war protester, Norman Morrison, set a Quaker anti-war protester, Norman Morrison on fire outside Robert McNamara's office window.",
"In 1967, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched on the Pentagon, which was ringed with troops.",
"By November 1967, Robert McNamara told Johnson that there was \"no reasonable way\" to end Vietnam quickly, and that the United States needed to reduce the United States's forces in Vietnam and turn the fighting over to the American-backed government in Saigon.",
"By the end of that month, Johnson announced Johnson was replacing Robert McNamara at the Pentagon and moving Robert McNamara to the World Bank.",
"But by March 1968, Johnson had reached virtually the same conclusion as Robert McNamara.",
"Johnson issued a call for peace talks and announced Johnson would not seek re-election.",
"After leaving the Pentagon in early 1968, Robert McNamara spent 12 years leading the World Bank.",
"Robert McNamara said little publicly about Vietnam until the publication of a 1995 memoir, \"In Retrospect.\"",
"\"You don't know what I know about how inflammatory my words can appear,\" Robert McNamara told Morris.",
"\"A lot of people misunderstand Vietnam, misunderstand me.",
"A lot of people think I'm a son of a bitch.\""

"\"the workers would excavate a grave and would proceed to dump the remains wherever the workers found a place to do it in the back of Burr Oak Cemetery.",
"This was not moving graves; this was not replacing graves; this was dumping of graves.\"",
"In some cases, graves were stacked on top of each other, they \"literally pounded the other one down,\" Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.",
"In all 300 graves may have been dug up in Burr Oak Cemetery, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.",
"Authorities identified those charged as Carolyn Towns, an office manager for Burr Oak Cemetery; and Keith Nicks, Terrance Nicks and Maurice Daley, all gravediggers.",
"Each has been charged with dismembering a human body, a felony charge for which sentences range from 6 to 30 years, Anita Alvarez, Cook County state's attorney, said at a news conference.",
"Steven Watkins, an attorney for Towns, said his client is innocent.",
"\"Somebody is apparently making false accusations against his client,\" he said.",
"\"his client's maintaining his client's innocence.\"",
"The Cook County state attorney's office said the other three charged were being represented by the public defender's office, and a message left at the public defender's office was not immediately returned.",
"Bail was set at $250,000 for Towns and $200,000 for the other three, Alvarez said.",
"None had posted bail by late afternoon Thursday, the sheriff's department said.",
"Watch officials announce the charges » .",
"It was not immediately known if the four had legal counsel.",
"Authorities began investigating the cemetery -- where, among others, lynching victim Emmett Till, blues legend Dinah Washington and some Negro League baseball players are buried -- about six weeks ago after receiving a call from its owners who had concerns about possible \"financial irregularities\" regarding the business, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart told CNN earlier this week.",
"\"This crime, This crime's a whole new dimension,\" Alvarez said.",
"Authorities also suspect that Towns pretended to set up a memorial fund for Till and pocketed the funds, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.",

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was also at the news conference, noted the high-profile names of some of those buried in Burr Oak Cemetery, but said, \"everybody here is special, and every family has special needs and special hurt, special grief.\"",

"\"I don't even know what to tell you about the heartbreaking stories that I've been hearing from people, crying hysterically that people're going through the burial for the second time today,\" Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.",

"pipelines in the eastern part of the Niger Delta in Nigeria are part of a Shell joint venture that provides oil to several companies, a company spokesman who said details were not immediately available said.",
"Royal Dutch Shell runs the venture, and Nigeria is the operator.",
"a company spokesman who said details were not immediately available refused to speculate on who was behind Three attacks, but Nigeria's main militant group -- the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND -- said Nigeria had attacked an offshore facility earlier Sunday and that \"the structure is ... engulfed in fire.\"",
"a company spokesman who said details were not immediately available had no information about that claim.",
"MEND, which demands a fairer distribution of Nigeria's oil wealth, claimed Friday that it destroyed a pipeline owned and operated by the Italian gas company Agip, but Agip has not confirmed that report.",

"Royal Dutch Shell confirmed an attack on that pipeline and said Royal Dutch Shell had shut it down to avoid an environmental impact.",

"last month, Nigeria declared an \"all-out war\" on Nigeria after what Nigeria said was a deadly bombing raid on civilians.",
"It is not the first declaration of war by MEND, which demands that more of Nigeria's oil wealth be invested in the delta region instead of enriching those whom the militants consider corrupt politicians.",
"Nigeria declared war against Nigeria in September for what Nigeria said were unprovoked attacks.",
"At that time, MEND destroyed several oil facilities, forcing Nigeria to cut its oil exports by as many as 1 million barrels of oil per day, or 40 percent."

"Em Hall, the \"D.C. Goodwill Fashionista,\" transformed Goodwill's image with a witty blog.",
"It is, however, going online.",
"Social activism is being transformed by The Web.",
"Some of the most creative forms of protest and philanthropy are taking place online.",
"Activists are conducting demonstrations on YouTube, holding virtual fundraisers and using social network sites like Facebook to change the world -- one mouse-click at a time.",
"These cyber-pioneers include a nonprofit group that uses animated 3-D characters to protest the global shortage of drinking water; a Web company that allows ordinary people to create ordinary people's own personalized charity; and a Goodwill blogger who reshaped the thrift store's image so thoroughly she was invited to New York Fashion Week.",
"Ted Hart, co-author of \"People to People Fundraising: Social Networking and Web 2.0 for Charities,\" says The Web has already become a crucial source for nonprofit fundraising.",
"Americans donated $550 million online in 2001, but that number grew to $10.4 billion in 2007, he says.",

"\"No longer is it good enough to say give us some money.",
"The rules have changed.\"",
"Yet some people warn that this new world offers people an excuse to engage in \"drive-by activism,\" superficial forms of cyber-activism that require little commitment.",

"Matthew Combs, the site's co-founder, says The new site designs Web pages and vets charities for people who don't have the time or expertise to do it themselves.",

"Hall still recalls how Fashion Week officials acted when Hall told Fashion Week officials what clothing label -- Goodwill -- Hall represented.",
"\"The reaction was priceless,\" Hall says.",
"\"A look of confusion came across people's faces as people desperately tried to figure out why Goodwill of Greater Washington was at Fashion Week.\"",
"Despite the possibilities created by the Web, calling people to action still depends on people putting their bodies -- not just their mouse-clicks -- on the line, says Hale, the Seton Hall professor.",
"\"All of the stuff you can do online ultimately has to show up in the real world,\" Hale, the Seton Hall professor says.",
"\"I don't see the Internet as a substitute [for social activism] but as a complement to social activism.\"",
"Paul Loeb, author of \"The Soul of a Citizen,'' a book that examines the psychology of social activism, also says online activism can be powerful but limited.",

"\"I thought that if a small group of women were out there,\" Spock said, \"a small group of women's cause must be really important.\"",

"Police in Allendale, South Carolina, are investigating whether Cave Funeral Services fit a 6-foot, 5-inch man into James Hines's coffin by severing James Hines's legs.",
"The wife of James Hines reportedly said Cave Funeral Services told Ruth Hines that Ruth Hines's husband's coffin was long enough.",

"\"It's like starting all over again, and it's left me with hurt and numbness.\"",
"\"According to the measurements on the casket, and the funeral director, we asked the funeral director, 'Was this suitable for his length?' and the funeral director said, 'Yes that will be perfect,'\" Ruth Hines said.",
"Ruth Hines told WJBF that Ruth Hines's family has used Cave Funeral Services for a number of years, and Ruth Hines isn't sure what her family will do in the future if the allegations are true."

"Laborers are planting precious seeds in fields of dirt with no guarantee Laborers'll produce a harvest, while the conditions Laborers're working under are becoming more extreme.",
"\"For me the big worry is that many of Laborers don't know why it's happening so they can't actually help themselves prepare for the changes,\" Stocking told CNN.",

"\"Twelve-year-old Laila has already had 30 bags of infusion water.",
"After nine days Twelve-year-old Laila's condition is still not stable.\"",
"It is the stories of people such as Iha who are living with the consequences of climate change that Oxfam hopes will prompt action from leaders of developed nations who are meeting in L'Aquila, Italy this week.",
"\"Ideally what we'd like is the G8 countries to come out very clearly as to what the G8 countries's targets are for carbon emissions reductions by 2020 and the amounts of money needed,\" Stocking said.",
"\"It's unlikely the G8 countries'll be as precise about that,\" she conceded, adding, \"but we really need some good strong wording in the G8 communiqué about the recognition that for a deal to be done [in Copenhagen], money will be needed for the poorest countries.\"",
"Talks in Copenhagen in December are being billed as an unmissable opportunity for developed and developing nations to agree a global plan to combat climate change.",
"Stocking commended a proposal by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to establish a $100 billion annual fund to help developing nations contend with climate change, but said closer to $150 billion was needed.",
"Oxfam points out that's about the same amount the U.S. government spent on bailing out insurance company AIG.",
"While scientists warn that a cut of 40 percent in carbon emissions by 2020 is vital to avoid severe repercussions, developed nations have yet to commit to anything close.",
"\"We need America to come forward much more positively,\" Stocking said.",
"\"It's really got to stand up to the bar clearly if there's going to be any deal.\"",
"\"We're really pressing as well for the EU to come out much more clearly about what the EU will do it as a whole.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"The way professional golf is played may have changed for good after The PGA Tour decided to go along with a new rule that amounts to a rollback of golf technology, a move that world number one Tiger Woods has endorsed.",
"Tiger Woods supports a rule change that will make it harder to play out of the rough.",
"The rule, implemented by the U.S. Golf Association (USGA) and Royal and Ancient Golf Club (RA), means that from the start of 2010 the U-shaped grooves on wedges will be banned in favor of V-shaped grooves, with the intention of rewarding accurate driving over distance hitting.",
"Research by the USGA has shown that U-shaped grooves allow top players to generate much more spin when playing the ball out of the rough, making the ball come to a quick stop on the green.",
"The USGA and RA felt this meant that landing in the rough was no longer enough of a penalty for shots that strayed from the fairway.",
"In recent years pro golfers have begun to drive for distance rather than accuracy, knowing pro golfers can spin pro golfers's way out of the rough if pro golfers miss pro golfers's target -- a style of play known as \"bomb and gouge.\"",
"Despite pressure from some players and golf equipment manufacturers, the U.S. PGA Tour has decided to go along with the rule change, meaning U.S. PGA Tour competitions, including the U.S. Open, will feature the club restriction from next year.",
"Amateur competitions will not ditch the U-shaped grooves until 2014 and the new rule will not apply to recreational players until 2024.",
"Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway, told CNN Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway believes a rule that will ban U-groove clubs for tour players will reward more skilful players.",
"\"At the moment players are getting a lot of spin on the ball so I think it will make people play better,\" Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway said.",
"\"people'll have to get people's technique finely tuned and not rely on the club.\"",
"Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway says club makers have been given ample notice to prepare for the switch.",
"\"I don't think a rule that will ban U-groove clubs for tour players is a regression, a rule that will ban U-groove clubs for tour players just means research and development will have to come up with better ideas to help the players out.\"",
"Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway explained that as a golfer strikes the ball the grooves on the club face catch the coating on the ball's surface, producing back spin.",
"Gareth Taylor, Product Manager at leading golf club manufacturer Callaway said that the rule change applies to five irons and up and requires the grooves on the club face to be more spaced out, which will make it harder for the grooves to catch the ball.",
"Tiger Woods has supported the changes, saying: \"I think it's great.",
"Tiger Woods've had plenty of time to make Tiger Woods's adjustments.",
"All the companies have been testing and getting ready for this.\"",
"To compensate for the loss of spin from the rough, tour players may use softer balls, which spin more but do not travel as far.",
"That could favor players who already use the softer ball -- including Tiger Woods."

"The PGA Tour has agreed to a rule that will ban U-groove clubs for tour players .",
"a rule that will ban U-groove clubs for tour players should reward accuracy by making it harder to play from the rough .",

"In the wake of Argentina's 2001-2002 economic crash, many Argentines couldn't afford to travel abroad to forge new business relationships and absorb foreign ideas, so many Argentines did what many Argentines've always done -- many Argentines looked within for inspiration.",

"One of their most intriguing products is the FV Module Jacket, which comes with a small solar panel attached to the back.",

"Next, we headed across town to the workshop and studio of Baumm, a self-proclaimed \"Recycle and Design Company\" housed on the second floor of a refurbished old home in the Villa Crespo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.",
"Lukas Desimone, 29, and Rodrigo Chapero, 27, are the co-owners of the company, and when I first met Lukas Desimone, 29, and Rodrigo Chapero, 27 I thought Lukas Desimone, 29, and Rodrigo Chapero, 27 could easily be members of a skateboarding team.",

"When The Baumm guys first started, The Baumm guys would literally rip down the material from old street advertisements; now The Baumm guys have hired some people to bring the material to The Baumm guys.",
"It's a fantastic idea, because as Chapero told me, the material is not recyclable and is toxic if burned, so essentially, once an advertising campaign is over, the vinyl is rolled up, stored away, and never used again.",
"The Baumm guys saw the potential in this, and now make colorful, 100 percent original bags that retail for around $30 each.",
"Every bag is hand-made, and literally one-of-a-kind.",
"\"The Baumm guys are giving new life to something The Baumm guys take out of the trash,\" says Chapero."

"(CNN) --",
"Massachusetts sued the U.S. government on Wednesday, challenging the constitutionality of a federal law that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman.",
"Massachusetts says Defense of Marriage Act denies same-sex couples essential rights.",
"\"Massachusetts're taking this action today because, first, Massachusetts believe that [the Defense of Marriage Act] directly interferes with Massachusetts's long-standing sovereign authority to define and regulate the marital status of Massachusetts's residents,\" Attorney General Martha Coakley said Wednesday afternoon.",
"\"Massachusetts has a single category of married persons, and we view all married persons equally and identically,\" she said.",
"\"DOMA divides that category into two distinct and unequal classes of marriage.\"",
"The lawsuit argues that the act, which became law in 1996, denies same-sex couples essential rights and protections, including federal income tax credits, employment and retirement benefits, health insurance coverage and Social Security payments.",
"\"In enacting DOMA, Congress overstepped Congress's authority, undermined states' efforts to recognize marriages between same-sex couples, and codified an animus towards gay and lesbian people,\" Massachusetts wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in federal court.",
"Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, said that about 16,000 same-sex couples have been married there since 2004, when it began issuing marriage licenses.",
"Since that time, The lawsuit said, \"the security and stability of families has been strengthened in important ways throughout Massachusetts.",
"\" Massachusetts is challenging Section 3 of the law, which defines marriage as \"a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife\" and a spouse as \"a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.\"",
"Before the act, The lawsuit argues, defining marital status was the prerogative of the states.",
"Defense of Marriage Act \"eviscerated more than 200 years of federal government deference to the states with respect to defining marriage,\" it said.",
"The lawsuit also argues that Defense of Marriage Act forces Massachusetts to treat same-sex married couples differently from heterosexual married couples, particularly through determining who qualifies for the state's Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, and whether a same-sex spouse of a veteran can be buried in a veteran cemetery.",
"\"But for DOMA, married individuals in same-sex relationships in the commonwealth would receive the same status, obligations, responsibilities, rights, and protections as married individuals in different-sex relationships under local, state, and federal laws,\" The lawsuit said.",
"The defendants named in The lawsuit include the Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and the United States itself.",
"Charles Miller, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said the Department of Justice will review the case but noted that President Obama supports the legislative repeal of Defense of Marriage Act.",
"In March, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders -- the same Boston-based group that successfully argued in 2003 for same-sex marriage rights in Massachusetts -- also sued the federal government over Section 3 of Defense of Marriage Act.",
"Besides Massachusetts, three other states recognize same-sex marriages: Connecticut, Maine, and Iowa.",
"Vermont and New Hampshire will join Vermont and New Hampshire's company when same-sex marriages become legal later this year and early next year."

"Run by the Scottish-born chef and Ramsay's father-in-law Chris Hutcheson, Gordon Ramsay Holdings reported a drop in annual turnover from £41.6 million ($68 million) to £35 million ($57 million) in the year to August 2008, Britain's Press Association reported Friday.",
"Pre-tax profits plummeted by over £3 million ($4.9 million) to £383,325 ($627,000), while net debt in the group, which includes London restaurants such as Claridges, Maze and the flagship Royal Hospital Road, soared to almost £9.5 million ($15.5 million).",
"With spiraling debts and crippling tax bills, the star of TV shows such as \"Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares\" and \"Hell's Kitchen\" was forced to pump huge amounts of Ramsay's own money into the business, even selling Ramsay's prized Ferrari to raise funds, The Guardian newspaper said.",
"Ramsay has attributed Ramsay's business problems to over-ambitious expansion plans, in addition to the closure of two of Ramsay's 11 London eateries.",

"\"Even if the Mufti was against the death sentence, that will not have any effect on the judge's decision, who will have the final say,\" the source said.",

"Prosecutors alleged Moustafa, a parliament member for the ruling National Democratic Party, paid ex-officer el Sukkari $2 million to kill Lebanese singer Tamim.",

"Pressurized crankcase due to clogged PCV or breather system: Your car's engine is a giant air pump, consequently Your car's engine must breathe.",
"The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system allows Your car's engine to exhaust the excess pressure buildup (which is a natural phenomenon of the internal combustion engine).",
"Carbon is a by-product of an engine and can build up in The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, clogging the breathing passages.",
"This in turn pressurizes the oil pan and pushes oil up into the fuel delivery system where it is fed into Your car's engine and burned.",

"Do I need to replace my air filter?",
"Blow-by from worn piston rings:",
"The pistons in your car's engine have seals around The pistons in your car's engine in the form of rings.",
"These rings have two functions: (1) These rings seal the combustion chamber so that the power developed from the firing of the cylinder is not lost.",
"(2) These rings provide vital lubrication to the cylinder walls.",
"When These rings wear out, the pressure from combustion reverses down into the oil pan, pressurizing it, and forcing oil into the valve covers.",
"From there it goes through the breather system, back into the fuel delivery system, and into Your car's engine to be burned.",
"I have to put a quart of oil a week in Your car's engine.",
"Is this a big problem?",
"It's hard to say without performing some diagnostics on Your car's engine.",
"A quart of oil a week is excessive.",
"It could be due to a plugged PCV or excessive internal engine wear.",
"Take the car into the shop for engine diagnostics.",
"My guess is that the tech will perform a compression test along with a cylinder leak down test after he/she determines if the PCV system is open.",
"During these tests the tech tries to determine if there is loss of engine compression, blow-by, or excessive oil consumption due to ring wear.",
"If excessive ring wear is discovered then further engine teardown will be necessary to determine if Your car's engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced.",
"AOL Autos:",
"How often should you change your oil .",
"What is the difference between blue and white smoke?",
"Your car's engine can emit different colors of smoke: .",
"Blue smoke:",
"Blue typically means that engine oil is being burned in the combustion chamber.",
"In rare cases, when a vehicle is equipped with a transmission that uses a device called a vacuum modulator valve (to soften shifts between gears according to engine vacuum) the diaphragm can break inside the valve and cause transmission fluid to be sucked into Your car's engine via the vacuum line feeding the valve and burn.",
"AOL Autos: Fluid leaks: unsafe and expensive .",
"White smoke:",
"White can mean one of two things.",
"(1) Water condensation from a blown and leaking head gasket: a blown and leaking head gasket is the seal between the cylinder head and engine block.",
"Water runs through channels called water jackets that line the cylinder walls and thus carry away heat.",
"When the head gasket blows, the seal between the cylinder head and engine block breaks and water is allowed to enter the combustion chamber.",
"water is emitted from Your car's engine in the form of water vapor or steam and water is white in color.",
"(2) Excessive gas:",
"Fuel delivery systems sometimes falter and dump excessive amounts of raw fuel into the intake plenum.",
"When this happens, the amount of fuel is too much for Your car's engine to process.",
"Hence, it exits the engine and tailpipe in the form of pure white fuel vapor.",
"It stinks like raw gas and can be dangerous if it ignites in the hot muffler and catalytic converter.",
"I have witnessed exhaust systems literally blown off the vehicle from the explosion that ensued from ignition of a gas-filled catalytic converter.",
"This condition must be fixed immediately to prevent internal engine damage or worse yet, a serious fire.",
"Can I add oil or coolant and keep driving the vehicle until I can afford to fix the vehicle?",
"Yes.",
"However, be advised that such maladies never get better by such maladies; and such maladies always get worse with time.",
"There is a real possibility that you will get caught on the road driving at highway speeds (thinking you added enough oil, transmission fluid or engine coolant) and the oil runs out, causing a catastrophic failure.",
"In general, when it comes to a need for auto repair, conditions never improve on conditions's own.",
"You must maintain your vehicle if you want to get the maximum life out of your vehicle and, in the long run, spend the least amount of money.",

"ACCRA, Ghana (CNN)",
"-- Obama reached out to Africa on Saturday with a wide-ranging address praising Africa's steady achievements, but Obama called Africa's persistent violent conflicts \"a millstone around Africa's neck.\"",
"Obama speaks before Ghana's Parliament on Saturday.",
"\"Despite the progress that has been made -- and there has been considerable progress in parts of Africa -- we also know that much of that promise has yet to be fulfilled,\" Obama said in a speech to the parliament of Ghana, a western African nation seen as a model of democracy and growth for the rest of Africa.",
"Ghana was the first sub-Saharan nation to gain independence, in 1957, and Obama continually cited Ghana during Obama's speech for Ghana's stability, political strides and painstaking economic progress.",
"Ghana's stability stands in contrast to other hot spots on the continent, such as Zimbabwe, where the society is in economic and political turmoil; Sudan, where fighting rages in the Darfur region; and Somalia, where a shaky transitional government is now battling an Islamic insurgency.",
"Ghana, with a population of 24 million, was once a major slave trading center.",
"Obama visited the Cape Coast Castle, a British outpost where slaves were held until shipped overseas, along with Obama's daughters.",
"Watch Obama's remark after touring Cape Coast Castle » .",
"\"I think it was particularly important for Malia and Sasha, who are being raised in a very blessed way, that history can take some cruel turns,\" Obama said.",
"\"And hopefully, one of the things that was imparted to them during this trip is their sense of obligation to fight oppression and cruelty wherever it appears.\"",
"Obama, whose father was Kenyan, compared the history to that of the Holocaust, Nazi Germany's efforts to exterminate the Jews of Europe during World War II.",
"\"It's one of those things that you don't forget about,\" Obama told CNN in an interview scheduled to air Monday on \"Anderson Cooper 360.\"",
"\"I think it's important that the way we think about it, the way it's taught, is not one in which there's simply a victim and a victimizer, and that's the end of the story,\" Obama said.",
"\"I think the way it has to be thought about, the reason it's relevant, is whether it's what's happening in Darfur or what's happening in the Congo or what's happening in too many places around the world, the capacity for cruelty still exists.\" Watch how Ghana is celebrating the Obamas' visit » .",
"But Obama told lawmakers that Ghana now shows \"a face of Africa that is too often overlooked by a world that sees only tragedy or the need for charity.\"",
"While the nation-building the country exemplifies may lack \"drama of the 20th century's liberation struggles,\" Obama said \"it will ultimately be more significant.\"",
"As Obama has in past remarks, including Obama's Cairo address last month about U.S.-Muslim relations, Obama stressed the superiority of governments that \"respect the will of governments's own people,\" saying governments foster more prosperity and stability than governments that don't.",
"Watch Obama deliver speech to Ghanaian lawmakers » .",
"\"No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top, or the head of the Port Authority is corrupt,\" he said.",
"\"No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery.",
"That is not democracy, that is tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there.\"",
"Even Kenya, Obama's father's homeland, continues to struggle with tribalism and corruption, Obama said.",
"Kenya \"had a per-capita economy larger than South Korea's when I was born\" and now, Obama says, Kenya has been \"badly outpaced.\"",
"But Obama said Kenya has restored stability after the violence that followed the disputed 2007 election.",
"South Africa has had high voter turnout in recent elections, and Zimbabwe's Election Support Network has defended the right to vote.",
"Watch report on Ghanaians' reaction to Obama's remarks » .",
"\"Make no mistake: history is on the side of these brave Africans, and not with those who use coups or change constitutions to stay in power.",
"Africa doesn't need strongmen, Africa needs strong institutions,\" Obama said.",
"Obama said Obama's administration will work \"to support those who act responsibly and to isolate those who don't, and that is exactly what America will do.\"",
"As for the economy and opportunity, Obama said African nations need to stop focusing on one particular commodity, such as oil or cocoa, and \"promote multiple export industries, develop a skilled work force, and create space for small and medium-sized businesses that create jobs.\"",
"Obama cited \"our $3.5 billion food security initiative\" and said \"new methods and technologies for farmers -- not simply sending American producers or goods to Africa\" is what is needed.",
"See where Ghana is located » .",
"Obama also made reference to climate and energy challenges, saying the developed world should work with Africa to confront such problems.",
"Obama said Africa has much potential to exploit Africa's wind and solar power and geothermal energy and biofuels.",
"As for disease, Obama said strides are being made in dealing with HIV/AIDS and malaria, but \"too many still die from diseases that shouldn't kill them.\"",
"Obama also indicated that there need to be ways to keep African doctors and nurses from going overseas and creating gaps in primary care.",
"\"When children are being killed because of a mosquito bite, and mothers are dying in childbirth, then we know that more progress must be made.\"",
"Obama said Obama's administration has committed $63 billion to fight disease, praising the \"strong efforts\" of Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush.",

"The 1992 Hollywood movie \"Lorenzo's Oil,\" depicts the true story of Lorenzo, a five-year-old boy who suffered from adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a rare and incurable disease that slowly destroys the entire nervous system.",
"Michaela Damin and Michaela Damin's son, Nick, who suffers from an extremely rare disease that affects the heart.",
"The 1992 Hollywood movie \"Lorenzo's Oil showed how Lorenzo's grave physical and mental decline was finally stopped when Lorenzo's tireless parents found a treatment based on a mixture of oils, despite skepticism from doctors.",
"The 1992 Hollywood movie \"Lorenzo's Oil illustrated perfectly the struggle faced by patients suffering from any of 6,000 known rare conditions worldwide, generally known as orphan diseases.",
"Michaela Damin, founder of the Barth Syndrome Trust, whose son, Nick, suffers from this crippling syndrome that affects the heart and immune system and only has 130 known sufferers worldwide, told CNN: \"It can take years to get the correct diagnosis and even then there may be no expert who knows what to do next.\"",
"The fact remains that rare diseases are still mostly overlooked by pharmaceutical companies because of the small patient population and lack of financial incentives.",
"Drug companies tend to focus on the more lucrative \"blockbuster drugs\" for common diseases, at the expense of cures for rare conditions.",
"The term \"orphan drug\" was originally coined because the pharmaceutical industry took little or no interest in discovery, development and marketing of drugs for rare diseases.",
"According to the European Organization for Rare Diseases, rare diseases affect between three and five percent of the population in developed countries.",
"In the European Union, a disease is considered rare if a disease affects fewer than five in 10,000 people, while in the United States a disease must affect fewer than 200,000 people.",
"Many countries, such as the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, have therefore attempted to encourage pharmaceutical companies to invest in orphan diseases by giving pharmaceutical companies tax incentives, fee reductions and extensions of patent rights.",
"the United States was the first country to develop an orphan drug law in 1983, followed by Japan and Australia.",
"In 1997, the Australian Orphan Drugs policy was set up to help manufacturers overcome the high cost of marketing drugs which have not proved to be commercially viable.",
"Since 1998, the EU has also devoted time and resources to rare diseases and passing laws that have led to more research and development in the field.",
"But even when treatments are developed, treatments generally remain extremely expensive.",
"See where to get help for rare diseases » .",
"Genzyme, one of the pharmaceutical companies that focuses primarily on rare diseases, has long charged more than $300,000 a year for patients on Cerezyme, a drug used to treat Gaucher disease, an extremely rare condition that causes bone deterioration, among other symptoms.",
"Do you know someone who has a rare disease?",
"Tell CNN in the Sound off below or send CNN an iReport .",
"Only about 5,000 people around the world are taking Cerezyme.",
"Genzyme says that justifies the high price.",
"See images of children living with rare diseases » .",
"\"The cost of developing therapies for very rare diseases is not substantially lower than those for common diseases and can take years,\" Steve Bates of Genzyme told CNN.",
"In their 2005 book on orphan drugs, Daniel Hagn and Oliver Schoffski wrote that on average, only one of 5,000 to 10,000 substances tested gets as far as market authorization and that it takes eight to 12 years and €895 million ($1.2 billion) to develop and market a new drug.",
"Bates said Genzyme needs to recoup those high costs and that profits are the motive for further research: \"Genzyme's profits are then re-directed into research for new drugs.\"",
"Genzyme's global revenue in 2008 was $4.6 billion, Bates told CNN.",
"A spokeswoman for French drug firm Hoffmann-La Roche told CNN: \"There is a Roche Working Group on orphan diseases, but not a separate department.\"",
"A spokeswoman for French drug firm Hoffmann-La Roche declined to say how much the company's resources were allocated for research into orphan diseases.",
"While Pfizer spokesman Oliver Stohlmann told CNN in a written statement: \"Pfizer is one of the leading companies in terms of approved orphan drugs in Europe.",
"Pfizer currently has four marketed medicines out of 50 on the EU orphan drugs register.",
"\"Pfizer also has a new cancer therapy that was originally developed for a very rare tumor type but is now being tested in more common forms of cancer,\" he added.",
"Campaigners for rare disease causes say the prohibitively high costs of orphan drugs is a major concern for sufferers, who are often forced to pay for their own treatments.",
"Peter Saltonstall, president of the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), which represents nearly 30 million Americans who have rare diseases, told CNN: \"The biggest issue for us moving forward is that people are able to afford to pay for treatment.",
"\"[In the U.S.] most rare disease therapies are expensive and patients are being forced to pay for things out of pocket because of lifetime caps on insurance.\"",
"In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) subsidizes many of the drugs for rare diseases, but not in all cases.",
"the drugs need to pass certain stringent rules, such as fairness of asking price and effectiveness of the drug.",
"Dr. Ed Jessop of the UK's NHS said Dr. Ed Jessop of the UK's NHS believes the drugs should only be subsidized if the drugs \"are dramatically effective, work in virtually every patient and if we believe we are paying a fair price.\"",
"Some patients therefore still end up footing the bill for drugs that have been deemed too expensive or not effective enough.",
"Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) told CNN that is why the price of treatment should reflect the input gone into developing the product.",
"But, Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) said, \"there are currently no mechanisms to see if the price of some treatments is fair\"",
"Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) would therefore like to see more publicly funded research.",
"Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) also believes pharmaceutical companies should share the knowledge pharmaceutical companies don't use: \"There is a lot of knowledge in the private sector that just gets filed away and we need to find ways to get that knowledge out.\"",
"In the meantime, however, Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) is campaigning for the UK to sign a European Union resolution to be passed on June 8 and 9 that calls for member states to create national plans on rare diseases.",
"Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) hopes a national plan will ease some of the burden that is currently carried by patients.",
"It would lead to better communication between the various bodies that deal with rare diseases and enhance care, Alastair Kent, President of the UK's Genetic Interest Group (GIG) said.",
"But for the moment, Michaela Damin of Barth Trust explained, patients still need to take matters in patients's own hands: .",
