"The father of a New Year's Day baby pleaded guilty Thursday to killing the infant by violently shaking him.",
"Camryn Jakeb Wilson was the first baby born in 2008 in Summit County, Ohio, arriving at 12:33 a.m. January 1.",
"Craig Wilson's guilty plea in Akron, Ohio, to murder and child endangering charges ended a yearlong saga surrounding the death of Camryn Jakeb Wilson, the first baby born in Summit County, Ohio, in 2008.",
"\"This type of crime is always difficult to understand, but today I do hope that Camryn's mother has some closure and that today is one step toward healing,\" Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said.",
"the infant's mother, Crystal Wilson, had left the infant in his father's care on March 12, 2008, while Camryn attended a meeting.",
"When Camryn returned to their Cuyahoga Falls home Camryn found the infant in a baby swing, listless and breathing abnormally while Camryn's husband of 10 months sat on a couch.",
"Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital quickly determined that the infant had suffered traumatic brain injuries and bleeding in the infant's eyes that could only have been caused by violent shaking.",
"Learn about shaken baby syndrome » .",
"the infant died in Camryn's mother's arms, surrounded by other family members, on March 25, 2008, shortly after being removed from life support.",
"Craig Wilson, 29, confessed to police that Craig Wilson was frustrated after an argument with Craig Wilson's wife over Craig Wilson's ex-girlfriend and a child Craig Wilson had with her.",
"Craig Wilson shook and squeezed the infant before laying him in the swing but hadn't intended to hurt the infant, Craig Wilson told police.",
"The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome estimates that as many as 1,400 babies annually are injured or killed by shaking.",
"Despite the confession, the case dragged on for a year after an autopsy showed the infant had suffered broken ribs prior to the fatal shaking.",
"The finding raised the possibility that another person had previously abused the infant and perhaps contributed to his death, said Jonathan T. Sinn, Craig Wilson's defense attorney.",
"See photos of the family » .",
"Craig Wilson's trial was scheduled to begin Monday.",
"Sinn had hoped to negotiate a plea deal with prosecutors that would send Craig Wilson to prison for a flat 20-year term, but in the end, prosecutors wouldn't budge.",
"\"From the moment Craig Wilson was arrested, Craig Wilson took responsibility for Craig Wilson's actions and for the killing of Craig Wilson's child,\" Sinn said.",
"\"From a human perspective, that's very admirable.",
"From a defense perspective, it makes it difficult to mount a defense when somebody acknowledges completely their guilt.\"",
"Judge Lynne Callahan sentenced Craig Wilson to 15 years to life.",
"He is unlikely to be paroled in less than 20 years, Sinn said."

"(CNET) --",
"Craigslist's managers have complied with the wishes of most of the state attorneys general who demanded Craigslist's managers rid the site of prostitution ads.",
"Craigslist says Craigslist has removed prostitution ads, but some issues remain.",
"Craigslist replaced Craigslist's controversial \"erotic\" section with a new \"adult\" category.",
"And where Craigslist once relied on readers to flag dodgy advertisements, the company's employees now review every ad submitted to the adult area before they appear online.",
"Yet, Craigslist has been unable to block every solicitation for sex.",
"Catherine, a self-described sex worker from San Francisco, confirmed for CNET that she successfully posted an ad for her services to the adult section late last week.",
"She wished to remain anonymous, so neither the ad's photo nor text can be included in this story.",
"Regardless, it isn't hard to find questionable ads in Craigslist's new adult section.",
"The most noticeable difference between Craigslist's erotic and adult categories is the photos.",
"In the adult section, the photos are less provocative.",
"Less skin is showing.",
"When it comes to the text, however, the two sections are very similar.",
"Both are packed with ads for massage services.",
"Ads in both areas include descriptions of the masseuse's breast size (\"I'm a natural C cup\") and they are often photographed dressed in their underwear.",
"Even if most of these services are legitimate, and only a few are veiled offers of sex in the new adult area, plenty of others make little if any pretense about what plenty of others offer.",
"plenty of others typically include words such as \"busty,\" or \"fantasy girl\" in plenty of others's descriptions.",
"Often, plenty of others feature photos of a woman or man dressed provocatively in their underwear or bathing suit.",
"Some include hourly rates.",
"Clearly, Craigslist faces a significant challenge as Craigslist tries to purge prostitution from Craigslist's Web pages.",
"While it can ban nude photos and overt offers of sex, how can anyone expect the site to outlaw ads featuring photos of bikini-clad women offering phone numbers?",
"One can find racier images in department store ads.",
"The Internet has made it easier for merchants of all kinds to conduct commerce and reach wider audiences.",
"Should anyone be surprised that the sex trade has benefited from this as well.",
"If Craigslist were to disappear tomorrow, does anyone really expect that would curb prostitution?",
"A review of some competing online classifieds shows that while Craigslist has been a popular destination for sex workers, it is by no means the only one.",
"For example, Backpages.com is an online classified publication and Craigslist competitor.",
"The content it produces can also be found on the Web sites of some entertainment and alternative publications in major metropolitan areas, such as New York's Village Voice or San Francisco's SFWeekly.",
"Craigslist is G-rated compared with the photos found in Backpages' adult section.",
"Ads included nude photos while others showed people engaged in sexual intercourse.",
"A common ad would show a bare chested woman asking men to call her at a phone number.",
"In the area of Backpages that services Charleston, S.C., one ad found on Tuesday by CNET featured a photo of a bare-chested woman apparently engaged in masturbation.",
"It must be noted that there was nothing as graphic on Craigslist.",
"This is relevant because Henry McMaster, South Carolina's attorney general, last week threatened Craigslist with a criminal investigation.",
"Henry McMaster hasn't made any similar threats--at least none that has been publicized--against Backpages.",
"Managers at Backpages did not respond to an interview request.",
"In November, Craigslist and 40 state attorneys general, including Henry McMaster, signed an agreement that called for Craigslist to add more safeguards. The classifieds publication followed through and one of the new changes was a new requirement that anyone posting to the erotic section must provide a credit card.",
"All the parties hoped that criminals would be unwilling to provide identification and this would be deterrent.",
"\"Many of the classified and communication services on Craigslist provide the public with a valuable service,\" Henry McMaster wrote to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster on May 5.",
"\"However, it appears that the management...has knowingly allowed Craigslist to be used for illegal and unlawful activity after warnings from law enforcement officials and after an agreement with forty state attorneys general.\"",
"Since then, Craigslist did away with the erotic section and agreed to review every ad before it appeared, but Henry McMaster was dissatisfied.",
"Henry McMaster posted a note on Henry McMaster's site that said the \"Craigslist South Carolina site continues to display advertisements for prostitution and graphic pornographic material.",
"This content was not removed as we requested.",
"We have no alternative but to move forward with criminal investigation and potential prosecution.\"",
"This is at best an empty threat, says Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.",
"The Communication Decency Act protects Web sites like Craigslist from being held criminally liable for the actions of its users, Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, who added that Craigslist has no legal obligation to even review ads before they go online.",
"Had Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation had Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation's way, Craigslist would have never agreed to do the monitoring.",
"Craig Newmark, Craigslist's founder, had earlier gone on national TV and said that Craigslist would not do away with the erotic section.",
"Craigslist's reversal may have led Henry McMaster to believe Henry McMaster could shame Craigslist managers into doing more than what the law required.",
"\"It made life more difficult for Craigslist I think,\" Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation said.",
"\"But I was much more disappointed with (Henry McMaster) than Craigslist,\" Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation said.",
"\"Henry McMaster's threats were bogus to begin with and Henry McMaster was wrong to threaten (Craigslist's managers) with jail when the law is very clearly on their side.\"",

"(CNN) --",
"No one, especially not one of Mexico's top law enforcement officials, denies that killings by drug cartels have reached record levels.",
"Mexican police carry a body after a clash with gangs that left 21 dead in the state of Chihuahua on February 10.",
"But Monte Alejandro Rubido Garcia, executive secretary for the National System for Public Safety, has an explanation.",
"\"Mexico all of a sudden stopped being a drug-transit country and became a drug-consuming country,\" Rubido told CNN on Thursday.",
"That means gangs that once shipped drugs into the United States are now fighting each other to sell drugs at home, he said.",
"gangs that once shipped drugs into the United States's fights center on territory -- who gets to sell what and where.",
"\"The only way to settle gangs that once shipped drugs into the United States's differences is through violence,\" Rubido said.",
"\"gangs that once shipped drugs into the United States're fighting block by block in a very violent way.\"",
"The result is a brutal onslaught that resulted in about 5,400 deaths last year, more than double the 2,477 tallied in 2007.",
"Many analysts say Mexico is on track to set a record again this year.",
"Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the situation in Mexico a \"civil war\" on a national TV program a few weeks ago.",
"Larry Birns, director of the Washington-based Council on Hemispheric Affairs, terms it \"a sickening vertigo into chaos and plunder.\"",
"The violence also is a result of the Mexican government's stepped-up fight against the drug cartels.",
"President Felipe Calderon's administration has spent more money and confiscated more drugs than any previous one, Rubido said.",
"\"Every time Mexico strikes a blow against them, their reaction is more violence,\" Rubido said of the drug cartels.",
"A United Nations report released this week notes that the \"government of Mexico faces violent opposition by drug cartels to its attempts to fight organized crime and drug trafficking,\" adding that \"drug cartels have responded with unprecedented violence.\"",
"Much of unprecedented violence, Rubido said, is carried out in \"high-impact\" fashion, aiming to get attention and demoralize the cartels' enemies.",
"For example, decapitations have become common.",
"But decapitation often is not the cause of death.",
"\"They're first killed with a shot, then decapitated for maximum visual impact,\" the law enforcement official said.",
"\"They're trying to make Mexico go into reverse.\"",
"That will not happen, Rubido vowed.",
"\"The only way to fight this is like we're doing in Mexico.\"",
"Rubido listed three fronts in the conflict: a frontal assault on the gangs; prevention campaigns against drug use; and a common strategy and tactics among Mexico 1,660 police agencies.",
"It's a tough battle, Rubido admits, especially since the use of cocaine in Mexico has doubled in the past four years.",
"Cocaine traffickers, Rubido said, have been looking for new markets and have targeted Europe and Mexico.",
"Watch how the violence is affecting the United States » .",
"The U.N. report released this week notes that \"despite concrete measures adopted by the government, drug abuse remains high in Mexico, especially among school-age children and young people.\"",
"The war on drugs in Mexico is made even more difficult by rampant corruption, the report says.",
"\"There is so much money involved in the drug trade, there is so much fear involved in the drug trade, that no institution can survive unaffected,\" said Birns.",
"Says Peter Hakim, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based policy center: \"This has really revealed just how corrupt Mexican officeholders are, how many people in key positions in the anti-drug war have been taking money from narcotraffickers.\"",
"In one recent instance, Noe Ramirez Mandujano, who was the nation's top anti-drug official from 2006 until August 2008, was arrested on charges that he accepted $450,000 a month in bribes from drug traffickers while in office.",
"There have been other similar arrests of high-ranking officials for taking bribes from drug traffickers.",
"\"There's no way the public treasury can pay what the drug traffickers are paying,\" Hakim said.",
"Rubido acknowledges the situation.",
"\"It is a problem, and it is assumed as fact,\" Rubido said Thursday.",
"But Rubido also sees the arrest of high-ranking officials as proof that anti-corruption efforts are working.",
"Drug lords have two ways to battle anti-crime efforts, Rubido said: bribes and intimidation.",
"That intimidation can often take brutal forms.",
"Last weekend, for example, a police official in Tabasco state who had arrested a trafficker a week earlier was killed.",
"So were a police official in Tabasco state who had arrested a trafficker a week earlier's mother, a police official in Tabasco state who had arrested a trafficker a week earlier's wife, a police official in Tabasco state who had arrested a trafficker a week earlier's children and nieces and nephews.",
"a police official in Tabasco state who had arrested a trafficker a week earlier's brother, also a state police officer, was wounded, as were two others.",
"In all, 12 people were shot dead in three homes.",
"Six of 12 people were children.",
"A few days earlier, a retired army general was abducted, tortured and shot 11 times, less than 24 hours after becoming Cancun's top anti-drug official.",
"He, his aide and a driver were all found dead in a truck by the side of a road.",
"Cancun's police chief was arrested a few days later in connection with the slayings.",
"Still, Rubido and others say, most of the deaths involve just drug traffickers, not ordinary citizens.",
"\"Ninety percent of the people who died last year in organized crime were involved in crime,\" Rubido said.",
"\"The problem is among criminal gangs.\"",
"Rubido sees the Mexican government prevailing.",
"\"I have a firm conviction that it's a battle we will win,\" Rubido said.",
"Others are much less certain.",
"\"The occasional anti-drug battle is being won, but the war is being lost,\" said Birns of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs public policy institute.",
"\"And there's no prospect the war is going to be won.\"",
"That pessimism that the current strategy is working has led to calls for a new approach.",
"Last week, the former presidents of Mexico, Colombia and Brazil called for the decriminalization of marijuana for personal use and a change in strategy on the war on drugs.",
"Ex-presidents Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico, Cesar Gaviria of Colombia and Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil made Ex-presidents Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico, Cesar Gaviria of Colombia and Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil's announcement at a meeting in Brazil of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy. \"The problem is that current policies are based on prejudices and fears and not on results,\" Gaviria said at a news conference in which the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy's recommendations were presented.",
"Robert Pastor, a Latin America national security adviser for President Carter in the late 1970s, calls the problem in Mexico \"even worse than Chicago during the Prohibition era.\"",
"He said a solution similar to what ended that violence is needed now.",
"\"What worked in the U.S. was not Eliot Ness,\" he said, referring to the federal agent famous for fighting gangsters in 1920s and '30s.",
"\"It was the repeal of Prohibition.\"",
"Rubido is diplomatic, saying decriminalizing drugs is a \"terribly sensible\" approach that has received much thought.",
"But Rubido's not buying it.",
"\"This has become a world of globalization,\" Rubido said.",
"\"Globalization has many virtues, but some errors.",
"I can't conceive that one part of the world would decriminalize drugs because it would become a paradise for drug use.",
"It might bring down violence, but there would be social damage.\""

"During CNN's \"Going Green: Green Light for Business\" coverage, CNN've asked businesses to tell CNN how businesses balance the imperative for profit with environmental concerns.",
"Jonathan Breeze, the CEO of Jet Republic, tells CNN how he's working to create a carbon neutral airline.",
"LONDON, England --",
"Airline industry is often perceived as one of the bad guys in the climate change debate.",
"As a mode of transport, flying is regarded as being particularly polluting because of the amount of fuel used at high altitude.",
"And, it is estimated to be responsible for around 3.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions.",
"Jet Republic CEO Jonathan Breeze says it would be a mistake to let green initiatives in Airline industry fall by the wayside.",
"Airline industry's reputation was damaged further when Airline industry was excluded from the targets outlined in the Kyoto agreement, which was interpreted by some as an example of its disregard for the climate change issue.",
"This is unfair because Airline industry has taken great strides to reduce Airline industry's environmental impact.",
"For example, over the last 30 years, it has achieved a 60 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.",
"There is a great deal of research being undertaken by manufacturers into more efficient technologies and alternative fuels, while the Single European Sky initiative aims to improve flight planning across Europe to rationalize the amount of time an aircraft is in the sky.",
"Practically everything we do in our everyday lives has a carbon cost attached to our everyday lives, but aviation is an element that we believe has come in for an undue level of criticism, when in fact it is arguably working harder than most industries to address the issue of climate change.",
"The reaction to this criticism from governments has been taxation.",
"But making a special case of aviation fails to address the wider issues.",
"Aviation fuel is carbon taxed, but why is this tax not applied on other types of fuel such as electricity and gas?",
"The additional revenue that would be generated could be ploughed back into green energy schemes and help deliver heightened efficiencies that Airline industry is already investigating.",
"Punitive taxation, which is driving up the cost of air travel, will ultimately end up being absorbed by the operator or by passengers.",
"This, coupled with the current economic downturn, represents a significant threat to progress in Airline industry as it could lead to a stifling of innovation and development.",
"Meeting the challenge of climate change costs money -- modernizing fleets with more efficient aircraft comes at a price.",
"As an industry which has been hit hard by the current economic downturn, some of these initiatives could fall by the wayside.",
"To allow this to happen would be a grave mistake.",
"We identified climate change as one area where we wanted to set the standard in Airline industry, and as a new entrant to the market we have been able to build a commitment to carbon neutrality into the heart of our business operations.",
"It was a consideration in our choice of the Learjet 60 XR as the model of aircraft in our 110 strong fleet.",
"the Learjet 60 XR is the most fuel-efficient midsize aircraft in the world, something the Learjet 60 XR achieves by being built with light and strong modern materials, and flying higher and faster than other aircraft.",
"It's a perfect example of a win-win solution.",
"We burn less fuel; our customers enjoy lower pricing.",
"Aircraft positioning is another important consideration that has an impact on the amount of fuel consumed; our fleet is based all across Europe, to reflect where our clients are.",
"The positions of our aircraft are carefully planned and managed so that the number of \"over flights\" -- that is legs where the aircraft is empty -- are kept to an absolute minimum.",
"We wanted to be 100 percent carbon neutral from launch so we partnered with ClimateCare, one of Europe's most experienced providers of carbon offsets, where each project is rigorously audited and monitored for quality.",
"By comparison, under the European emissions trading scheme, which doesn't take effect until 2012, commercial airlines will only have to offset 15 percent of the carbon emissions commercial airlines create.",
"With the impact of aviation on climate change being widely reported, people are more conscious than ever about people's carbon footprint when using air travel.",
"While the overwhelming majority have not changed the amount the overwhelming majority travel because of it, it is certainly becoming a more important consideration and people are asking more questions before traveling.",
"We have found that our attitude towards mitigating the effect our business has on the environment has actually become a business benefit.",
"Our competitive pricing structure includes a carbon offset charge, which is passed on, in its entirety, to ClimateCare.",
"By acknowledging our responsibilities in the area of climate control and putting tangible measures in place, we have received considerable positive feedback from clients and business partners.",
"We believe that Jet Republic is at the forefront of modern European business.",
"If every company in Europe could run 100 percent carbon neutral, as Jet Republic does, the world would be a better place."

"The contestants vied for the chance to run one of Donald Trump's companies for a year, and Donald Trump fired someone from the losing team each week until he selected an apprentice.",
"Over the years, ratings for the reality show hosted by Donald Trump gradually declined, but Revived formula was revived in early 2008 with the first season of \"The Celebrity Apprentice.\"",

"(CNN) --",
"Suburban Philadelphia club has invited children from a largely minority day-care center to come back after a June reversal that fueled allegations of racism against Suburban Philadelphia club, a spokeswoman said Sunday.",
"Some kids from the Creative Steps Day Care center say club members made racial remarks.",
"The development came during a hastily called Sunday afternoon meeting of Suburban Philadelphia club in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania.",
"Club members voted overwhelmingly to try to work things out with the day-care center, which accused some swim club members of making racist comments to black and Hispanic children contracted to use the pool, said Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife.",
"Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife said Suburban Philadelphia club canceled its contract with the Creative Steps day-care because of safety, crowding and noise concerns, not racism.",
"\"As long as Suburban Philadelphia club can work out safety issues, Suburban Philadelphia club'd like to have them back,\" Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife told CNN.",
"Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife said Suburban Philadelphia club has been subpoenaed by the state Human Rights Commission, which has begun a fact-finding investigation, \"and the legal advice was to try to get together with these camps, \" Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife added.",
"Alethea Wright, Creative Steps' director, said, \"They should have done that before.\"",
"Wright has repeatedly lambasted Suburban Philadelphia club for Suburban Philadelphia club's tepid response to the charges and said the children in Wright's care were \"emotionally damaged\" by the incident.",
"\"the children in her care are scarred.",
"How can I take the children in her care back there?\" Wright said.",
"However, Wright's lawyer, Carolyn Nicholas, said the center will give Suburban Philadelphia club's offer \"due consideration\" once it is received and looks forward to sitting down with the parties.",
"\"the children in her care are our primary concern,\" Nicholas told CNN.",
"Swimming privileges for about 65 children from Creative Steps were revoked after about 65 children from Creative Steps's first visit June 29.",
"Some children said white members of Suburban Philadelphia club made racist comments to the children, asking why \"black children were there\" and raising concerns that \"black children might steal from us.\"",
"Days later, the day-care center's $1,950 check was returned, Wright said.",
"Club director John Duesler told CNN that Club director John Duesler had underestimated the amount of children who would participate, and Suburban Philadelphia club was unable to supervise that many kids.",
"Club director John Duesler called Club director John Duesler's club \"very diverse,\" and said Suburban Philadelphia club had offered to let day camps in the Philadelphia area use Club director John Duesler's facility after budget cuts forced some pools in the Philadelphia area to close.",
"Wright has rejected the camp's contention that the swim club's pool was overcrowded.",
"Suburban Philadelphia club had accepted a 10-to-1 ratio of children to adults and was considering adding up to three lifeguards, according to e-mails obtained by CNN.",
"But Club director John Duesler said last week that Suburban Philadelphia club also canceled contracts with two other day-care centers because of safety and overcrowding issues.",
"The Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission launched an investigation last week after allegations of racism at Suburban Philadelphia club.",
"The Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission said that as part of any investigation, the two sides eventually could be asked to sit down face-to-face with The Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission's investigators.",
"\"We always encourage opposing parties to communicate with one another if opposing parties feel opposing parties can resolve these issues amicably,\" Commission Chairman Stephen Glassman said.",
"Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife said Bernice Duesler, the club director's wife wasn't yet sure how Suburban Philadelphia club will \"reach out\" to Creative Steps and the other two camps.",
"And Wright said Wright still has concerns about the issue.",
"\"Are the members who made those comments still there?\" Wright asked."

"Former world number one, Pete Sampras, has described recently crowned French Open champion Roger Federer as the best player in history.",
"Federer after equalling Pete Sampras's record of winning 14 men's singles titles.",
"The 37-year-old American, nicknamed 'Pistol Pete' for his bullet-like serves, won a record 14 grand slam men's singles titles over a 15-year career, though never captured the trophy at Roland Garros.",
"In beating Sweden's Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6, 6-4 to take the French title on Sunday, Federer equaled Sampras's record and became only the sixth man in history to win each of the four majors.",
"Debate: Is Federer the greatest player ever?",
"The feat marks the 27-year-old Swiss out as the finest player to ever grace the game according to Sampras: \"What Federer's done over the past five years has never, ever been done -- and probably will never, ever happen again.",
"\"Regardless if Federer won there or not, Federer goes down as the greatest ever.",
"This just confirms it,\" Sampras told the Guardian newspaper.",
"\"I'm obviously happy for Federer.",

"I always believed I was good enough to get it - but holding the trophy, after all I've been through was just unbelievable.",
"I'm so proud right now you can't believe it.",
"\"For Federer there was never a question whether I was going to retire.",
"I worked extremely hard in the off season. Losing semifinals and finals all of a sudden wasn't good enough for people anymore.",
"But this victory is timely because I've proved many people wrong.\"",
"The historic nature of this victory was also not lost on Federer:",
"\"The records mean a lot to Federer especially after the last few years when I realized that I was (up there) with the greatest players of all time.",
"Of course I like to break records - because I look up to people like Sampras, Agassi, Connors and McEnrore, it's so great to be up there with those players.\"",
"However, in an ominous warning to Federer's rivals, Federer already said Federer had eyes on Federer's next conquest:",
"\"I still feel like I have much more left in Federer - I'm only 27 years-old and I'd like to play for many more years to come and I hope I reach many more titles.\"",
"Federer's vanquished opponent in the final, Soderling also praised Federer's conquerer: \"For me Federer is the best ever and I should know as I've player Federer many times,\" the world-ranked number 12 told CNN.",
"Next up for Federer is the third grand slam of 2009, Wimbledon, where Federer will aim to go one better than Bjorn Borg by winning the tournament six times when the event starts on June 22.",
"Federer's historic weekend win was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge who also tagged the Swiss simply the best that tennis has seen.",
"\"Today I wrote to Federer to congratulate Federer on this unique success because I consider Federer to be the best player of all time,\" the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge who also tagged the Swiss simply the best that tennis has seen told a media briefing in Brussels on Monday.",

"TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) --",
"Florida Gov. Charlie Crist announced Tuesday Gov. Crist would not run for re-election next year and instead will seek the seat being vacated by retiring GOP Sen. Mel Martinez.",
"Gov. Crist appeared alongside Sen. John McCain, left, during the 2008 presidential campaign.",
"Crist, who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 1998, was immediately endorsed by the Senate Republican campaign arm, which hopes to avoid a bruising primary fight.",
"Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio declared Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio's intention last week to seek the GOP Senate nomination.",
"\"Our country is facing the most profound public policy questions in our lifetime -- questions relating to the economy, taxes, healthcare, the environment and national security,\" Gov. Crist said in a statement released by Gov. Crist's campaign.",
"\"The answers to these questions will have a lasting impact on the country we love and the nation we will leave to our children and grandchildren.\"",
"Gov. Crist added in a statement released by his campaign: \"Here in Florida, we've shown that when we put people first and work together, much can be accomplished, and I intend to bring that same approach to Washington.",
"That is why, after thoughtful consideration with my wife Carole, I have decided to run for Senate.\"",
"A Quinnipiac Poll released last month showed Gov. Crist with a commanding 54 percent to 8 percent lead over Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio in the Republican primary.",
"But A Quinnipiac Poll released last month also found that more people overall, and Republicans specifically, would rather see Gov. Crist run for re-election as governor than seek the Senate seat.",
"Should Gov. Crist backers persuade Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio to abandon his bid, it would help national Republicans focus money and resources on other races in 2010.",
"GOP needs to win back seats GOP lost in 2008 to help weaken the Democratic hold on Senate.",
"Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to change Specter's political affiliation from Republican to Democrat and the increasing likelihood that Democrat Al Franken will eventually be named the next senator from Minnesota means that President Obama will have enough Democratic votes -- in theory -- for a filibuster-proof majority in Senate.",
"Last week, the Senate GOP was dealt a setback when former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, a popular Republican, decided not to challenge Specter.",
"But news that Gov. Crist would enter a Senate race was welcomed by Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.",
"\"While I believe Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio has a very bright future within GOP, Gov. Crist is the best candidate in 2010 to ensure that GOP maintain the checks and balances that Floridians deserve in Senate,\" Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee said in a statement.",
"\"Gov. Crist is a dedicated public servant and a dynamic leader, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee will provide the National Republican Senatorial Committee's full support to ensure that Gov. Crist is elected the next United States Senator from Florida.\"",
"Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio used a short blast on Twitter to chastise the NRSC for siding with Gov. Crist in the primary.",
"\"Disappointed GOP senate comm endorses Gov. Crist on day 1,\" Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio wrote.",
"\"Remember that reform must always come from the outside.",
"Status quo won't change Status.\"",
"GOP Rep. Vern Buchanan, who had been considering a Senate bid, instead said GOP Rep. Vern Buchanan, who had been considering a Senate bid would run for another term in the House and endorsed Gov. Crist.",
"Anticipating his entry into the Senate race, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last month aired the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's first television ad of the 2010 elections -- a small buy in the Tallahassee TV market -- that accused Gov. Crist of running away from the state's economic problems.",
"Florida Democrats echoed that line of criticism Tuesday shortly after Gov. Crist declared Gov. Crist's candidacy.",
"\"By running for Senate, Gov. Crist has cut and run on the Sunshine State, once again taking the easy way out, avoiding responsibility and leaving the hard work of facing Florida's problems to the next governor,\" Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman said.",
"\"At a time when Florida needs real leadership, unfortunately Gov. Crist is running from the mess Gov. Crist created, which is why Floridians are going to send Gov. Crist into retirement come Election Day.\"",
"Still, Gov. Crist remains very popular in the state that Gov. Crist has led since Gov. Crist was elected governor in 2006.",
"Gov. Crist's approval rating is at 66 percent, according to the Quinnipiac Poll.",
"While it had been speculated for weeks that Gov. Crist would run for Senate, Gov. Crist told reporters Tuesday that Gov. Crist made Gov. Crist's final decision this past weekend to run for Martinez's seat.",
"With conservatives and centrists battling for control of GOP, the upcoming primary contest in Florida will be closely watched nationally.",
"Gov. Crist is considered a centrist, while Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio is trying to appeal to conservatives in GOP.",
"When asked to talk about Gov. Crist's primary with Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio and the future direction of GOP, Gov. Crist instead spoke about bipartisanship.",
"\"Well, I think what's important to bear in mind is that we do things a little bit differently here in Florida, and that's another reason that I run for the United States Senate,\" Gov. Crist told reporters at a news conference.",
"\"We work together to solve problems and do what's right for the people of Florida.",
"the people of our state are the boss.",
"And I think regardless of party, we have to work together to get things done.",
"And that's what I'd like to take to Washington, D.C.\"",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A former Army captain who was dismissed under a federal law dealing with gays and lesbians in the military lost Pietrangelo's appeal Monday at U.S. Supreme Court.",
"U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene in the challenge to the \"don't ask/don't tell\" law.",
"Pietrangelo and 11 other veterans had sued the government over the \"don't ask/ don't tell\" law passed in 1993.",
"Pietrangelo was the only one who appealed to U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices without comment refused to intervene.",
"The provision forbids those in the military from openly acknowledging or revealing those in the military's homosexuality, and prevents the government from asking individual soldiers and sailors about their sexual orientation.",
"The Obama administration had asked U.S. Supreme Court not to take the case, and White House officials had said White House officials would not object to homosexuals being kicked out of the armed services.",
"During the presidential campaign last year, Obama said Obama supported throwing out the federal law but has taken no specific action on the controversy.",
"The Justice Department said in a high court filing the federal law was \"rationally related to the government's legitimate interest in military discipline and cohesion.\"",
"A federal appeals court in Boston, Massachusetts, had ruled against Pietrangelo, essentially ending his legal efforts.",
"But a San Francisco, California-based federal appeals court ruled partially in favor of Maj. Margaret Witt, allowing her lawsuit against the Pentagon to move ahead.",
"Those judges said the Air Force must prove the dismissal of the flight nurse would ensure troop readiness and cohesion.",
"Justices say state judge should have recused state judge .",
"In a separate ruling, U.S. Supreme Court on Monday found a state judge acted improperly when he refused to remove himself from a 2006 civil appeal despite having received financial support during his campaign from the CEO of the key defendant.",
"Chief Justice Brent Benjamin of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals cast the deciding vote in favor of that company.",
"In a 5-4 ruling, Justices found that a perceived conflict of interest should have led to the judge's recusal.",
"\"On these extreme facts the probability of actual bias rises to an unconstitutional level,\" Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote.",
"The issue has become a touchstone of a growing political debate over whether judicial election races -- which have become more expensive and contentious in recent years -- erode public confidence in the legal system.",
"The West Virginia case has attracted nationwide attention and was the basis for author John Grisham's 2008 best-seller, \"The Appeal.\"",
"the case now goes back to the state courts, where Benjamin likely will have to pull out of a rehearing.",
"The U.S. Supreme Court issued a narrow ruling on the specific facts of the West Virginia dispute, but the implications are likely to be felt nationwide.",
"Thirty-nine states elect some or all of Thirty-nine states's judges.",
"The facts of the case read like a legal thriller.",
"Businessman Don Blankenship, chairman of A.T. Massey Coal Co., spent $3 million supporting Benjamin's 2004 run for the judicial seat -- accounting for 60 percent of the money spent in support of his campaign.",
"Massey was involved in a decade-old business dispute with Hugh Caperton, owner of rival Harman Mining.",
"Caperton accused Massey of unlawfully interfering with his business relations.",
"A jury agreed, and in 2002 awarded Harman Mining $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.",
"Massey waited four years to appeal.",
"It was during those four years that Benjamin won Benjamin's state high court seat.",
"In April 2006, Benjamin declined to recuse Benjamin from Massey's appeal, which had reached Benjamin's five-member court.",
"West Virginia, like most state and federal courts, leaves to an individual judge's discretion the decision to stay out of a case because of a potential conflict of interest."

"STANFORD, California (CNN) --",
"Students and professors at Stanford University are protesting Donald Rumsfeld's appointment to a campus think tank, saying the former defense secretary does not uphold the \"ethical values\" of the school.",
"Rumsfeld has been appointed to the Hoover Institution, a think tank at Stanford University.",
"Shortly after Rumsfeld's appointment was announced in September, professor Pamela Lee began an online petition from faculty members opposed to bringing him to the Hoover Institution.",
"Since then, the petition has gained more than 3,500 signatures, including nearly 300 faculty members from such diverse disciplines as law, computer science, electrical engineering and drama.",
"\"We view the appointment as fundamentally incompatible with the ethical values of truthfulness, tolerance, disinterested inquiry, respect for national and international laws, and care for the opinions, property and lives of others to which Stanford University is inalienably committed,\" the petition reads.",
"\"As word of the letter got out, my inbox was flooded with messages from professors, students, staff and alumni asking to sign on,\" said Lee, a professor of art history.",
"the petition's signers include hundreds of Stanford University students in addition to the faculty.",
"\"Rumsfeld's a war criminal,\" said Sam Dubal, one petitioner, who also created a Facebook group called \"Rumsfeld -- You Are Not Welcome at Stanford University!\"",
"\"Rumsfeld's not worthy as an established member of Stanford University,\" Dubal said.",
"Despite the protests, school officials say that it is well within the Hoover Institution's right to appoint Rumsfeld.",
"\"There are lots of temporary appointments made around Stanford University,\" said Jeff Wachtel, special assistant to Stanford University president John Hennessy.",
"\"Departments have the right to invite people to campus in a variety of capacities.\"",
"Rumsfeld's one-year appointment as Distinguished Visiting Fellow places Rumsfeld on a task force on terrorism and ideology.",
"Rumsfeld will be joined by current Hoover Fellow George Schultz, secretary of state under Ronald Reagan.",
"Despite being housed in a tower on the center of campus, the Hoover Institution has only loose affiliation with Stanford University.",
"Meanwhile, supporters of Rumsfeld's appointment say that his presence on campus will help foster academic dialogue and fuel positive political discourse.",
"The outcry against Rumsfeld follows last April's attempt by President Bush to visit campus.",
"President Bush planned to meet with Fellows at the Hoover Institution but was blocked by protesters.",
"President Bush's meeting was later moved to Schultz's nearby house.",
"\"Many of us believe that Rumsfeld, in Rumsfeld's role as secretary of defense, has behaved in ways that are dishonorable, disgraceful and always disingenuous,\" said Dr. Philip Zimbardo, professor emeritus of psychology.",
"\"Rumsfeld authorized a list of interrogation methods that violated the Geneva Convention and the Convention against Torture used on detainees at Guantanamo Bay ... and Iraq's Abu Ghraib Prison,\" said Zimbardo, whose most recent book, \"The Lucifer Effect,\" finds that given the right \"situational\" influences, anyone can be made to participate in violent and depraved acts.",
"Lee said Lee's position does not discourage debate or public exchange of ideas.",
"\"Let me stress that the petition objects to Rumsfeld's appointment as Distinguished Visiting Fellow, an appointment we find without merit,\" Lee said.",
"\"In fact, there is nothing in the language of the petition that says Rumsfeld is forbidden to air Rumsfeld's views at Stanford or is not welcome for a public lecture or open forum.\"",
"But not everyone disagrees with the appointment.",
"\"Personally I disagree with Rumsfeld's politics,\" said Brett Hammon, a political science major.",
"\"But at the same time, I'm not sure I think it would be prudent for Stanford University to refuse hiring Rumsfeld just because most students disagree with Rumsfeld's politics.",
"I know I would hate it if I went to school in Texas and Stanford University refused to hire a prominent liberal politician just because most of the student body was conservative.\"",

"On this island and in Puerto Rican neighborhoods across America, you can go into almost any home and find a veteran living there or a photograph of a loved one in uniform hanging on the wall,\" Obama said.",
"Obama also took aim at Republican Sen. John McCain over his opposition to an update of the GI Bill.",
"an update of the GI Bill passed the Senate on Thursday afternoon by a 75-22 vote and passed the House this month by a similar margin.",
"an update of the GI Bill proposes to essentially provide a full scholarship to in-state public universities for members of the military who have served for at least three years.",
"\"I don't understand why Republican Sen. John McCain would side with George Bush and oppose our plan to make college more affordable for our veterans.",
"... Putting a college degree within reach for our veterans isn't being too generous; it's the least we can do for our heroes,\" Obama said.",
"Shortly after Obama's remarks, the Republican Sen. John McCain campaign hit back.",
"\"Obama talks about helping veterans, but when the choice came between delivering for our military men and women and playing partisan politics, Obama decided politics was more important,\" Republican Sen. John McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said Saturday.",
"Later Saturday, Obama marched along a street in San Juan, shaking hands with supporters as Obama walked in front of a banner that said \"Puerto Rico Con Obama.\"",
"This event was referred to as a \"caminata,\" a traditional parade for a candidate.",
"Obama remarked to the crowd, \"I will never forget the support and the friendship that I've seen here in Puerto Rico. ...",

"Clinton also vowed to clean up the former Navy testing ranges on Vieques, fund the famous Arecibo radio telescope, use federal dollars to put more cops on the streets and extend tax breaks to Puerto Rican companies.",
"Clinton made each of those promises in English, abandoning a translator early on, despite the growing din among distracted audience members who couldn't understand the full content of Clinton's stump speech.",
"Still, enthusiastic supporters hoisted signs like \"Puertorriquenos con Hillary\" and \"Hillary Presidenta\" while chants of \"Clinton! Hillary!\" filled the room.",
"Despite in the language barrier, Clinton seemed to be on familiar ground.",
"Clinton recalled a visit Clinton made to the island in 1998 on behalf of Clinton's husband to inspect damage from Hurricane Georges.",

"Clinton has done well among Hispanic voters in this year's primaries, and Clinton is expected to have similar success in Puerto Rico.",

"Spurred by the continuing political unrest in Iran, more than two dozen Iranian expatriate superstars are uniting to spread a musical message of non-violent resistance.",
"Neda Agha-Soltan was gunned down on a Tehran street on June 20.",
"The entertainers, poets, thinkers and actors are harmonizing on the song \"United for Neda,\" a call to action against human rights violations by the Iranian government against Iranians protesting the disputed outcome of recent presidential elections.",
"the song \"United for Neda was inspired by the plight of Neda Agha-Soltan, the 26-year old Iranian woman who was fatally shot on the streets of Tehran on June 20.",
"The ordeal was recorded on cell phone video and received international attention when it hit the Internet.",
"\"When I saw links to Neda being shot, it was so disturbing to me,\" said Iranian-British recording artist Mams Taylor, who wrote and produced the song \"United for Neda.",
"\"It hurt me, angered me and touched me at the same time, to think that these people are so courageous to go and seek these people's freedom,\" said Taylor.",
"While her death became a rallying point for justice, her name, \"Neda,\" in Farsi means \"the call/calling\" or \"voice\" -- a voice many people say cannot be muted.",
"\"The saga is still going on in Iran, and all we can do is carry on and echo their voice,\" said Shoreh Aghdashloo, the Oscar-nominated actress from \"House of Sand and Fog\" who sang in the production.",
"The video, much like the post-election protests, was a spontaneous response.",
"From the studio to the street rallies in Los Angeles, California, the entire music video was filmed using a cell phone.",
"\"With the big media ban and restrictions over there, we thought to commemorate and pay homage to what the protesters are doing over there,\" said Taylor.",
"\"So we thought it would be appropriate to develop the video in the same kind of light.\"",
"Watch the video and hear the song \"United for Neda » .",
"the song \"United for Neda was recorded in both English and Farsi to reach Western and Iranian audiences.",
"The English version of the video has drawn thousands of viewers since its YouTube release last week.",
"The Farsi version of the song \"United for Neda will be released Thursday.",
"Iranian actress Shila Vosough played a key role in bringing the artists together.",
"\"the artists came together despite the artists's varying political views,\" Iranian actress Shila Vosough said.",
"\"the artists united, hand-in-hand, to send the kids in Iran a message of the artists's love and support.\"",
"The political upheaval of the late 1970s forced many Iranian musicians, artists, actors and entertainers like Iranian actress Shila Vosough into exile.",
"Many of many Iranian musicians, artists, actors and entertainers like Vosough left unwillingly, not knowing when or if they would ever return to Iran.",
"\"I came to New York for a performance 32 years ago and have never been back to Iran since,\" said Iranian vocalist Sattar, who also sang in the video.",
"Sattar, who has millions of fans around the world, wants the Iranian people to know the Iranian people's voices are being heard.",
"\"As an artist, I see this as my responsibility -- to support Iranians with my songs and music,\" said Sattar, a one-time favorite of the Pahlavi royal family in Iran.",
"In 1979, at the dawn of the Islamic Republic under much popular Western music was outlawed as \"un-Islamic.\"",
"For years, Iranians have been forced to make music underground, buying or swapping on the black market or downloading from the Internet.",
"\"Music is a very powerful tool.",
"Music can move people and mobilize people around a cause, and this can be very threatening for leaders who want to silence the voices of their people,\" said Iranian singer Dariush.",
"Iranian singer Dariush has been singing about love, peace, freedom and justice for the Iranian people since before Iranian singer Dariush left 30 years ago.",
"\"I encourage other musicians to come join the cause against human rights violations in Iran and other places around the world,\" said Iranian singer Dariush.",
"Female singers were also banned after the revolution.",
"For decades female vocalists like Googoosh, one of the most celebrated pop divas in Iran, were silenced and forbidden to perform or record in Iran.",
"In 2000, Googoosh left Iran.",
"Shortly afterward, Googoosh made a comeback on the international stage, performing in front of sold-out crowds at venues around the world.",
"Googoosh's latest release, \"Man Hamoon Iranam,\" or \"I Am the Same Iran,\" is also dedicated to the young Iranians who died in the unrest.",
"Scores of musicians have tuned into the cause, showing support both in performance and on the Internet.",
"Just last week in Barcelona, Spain, the band U2 dedicated the song \"Sunday Bloody Sunday\" to the Iranian people and performed under a green-lit banner as Farsi lyrics scrolled up the screen.",
"The opposition in Iran has adopted green as The opposition in Iran's unifying color.",
"Other Iran-related videos that went viral on YouTube are the remake of \"Stand By Me\" by Iranian singer Andy and American rockers Bon Jovi; Joan Baez's \"We Shall Overcome\" tribute; and Wyclef Jean's performance of \"Equal Rights and Justice.\"",
"\"I hope the Iranian people realize that here in the West there are people supporting and backing the Iranian people's movement to seek freedom, and we would like to motivate the Iranian people to keep going,\" said Mams Taylor.",
"\"the world has lost many Nedas, most of many Nedas the world will never know,\" said Dariush.",
"\"There are many Nedas out there whose voices can't be heard, there are Nedas in prisons that are being tortured, there are Nedas screaming in the streets --walking the fine line between life and death everyday.",
"But she has become the symbol for all of them.\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Pregnant women in Peru are dying at scandalous rates, according to the author of an Amnesty International report into maternal mortality in Peru.",
"The report, \"Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru\" found that hundreds of poor, rural and indigenous pregnant women are dying because hundreds of poor, rural and indigenous pregnant women are being denied the same health services as other women in Peru.",
"The report, \"Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru\" also concluded that the government's response to tackling the problem was inadequate.",
"Peruvian government figures state 185 in every 100,000 women die in childbirth, but the United Nations says the number is much higher, 240 per 100,000, which makes the number one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the Americas.",
"In wealthy developed nations, only nine women die for every 100,000 births.",
"The five main causes of pregnancy-related deaths in Peru are hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia, infection, complications following abortion and obstructed birth, according to Peru's Ministry of Health figures.",
"Amnesty's Peru researcher Nuria Garcia said, in a written statement: \"The rates of maternal mortality in Peru are scandalous.",
"The fact that so many women are dying from preventable causes is a human rights violation.",
"\"The Peruvian state is simply ignoring The Peruvian state's obligation to provide adequate maternal health care to all women, regardless of who all women are and where all women live.\"",
"Amnesty's Peru researcher Nuria Garcia added: \"Health services for pregnant women in Peru are like a lottery: If you are poor and indigenous, the chances are you will always lose.\"",
"The report, \"Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru\" said pregnant women in Peru die because pregnant women in Peru lack access to emergency obstetric care, to information on maternal health, and to health staff members who can speak Indigenous languages such as Quechua -- a native Andean language spoken by some 5 million people in Peru.",
"According to The report, \"Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru\", 27 percent of deaths of women from pregnancy-related causes occurred during pregnancy; 26 percent occurred during the birth itself; and 46 percent during the first six weeks after giving birth.",
"A 2007 Census of Indigenous People showed that 60 percent did not have access to a health facility, said Amnesty International.",
"The report, \"Fatal Flaws: Barriers to Maternal Health in Peru\" notes that the Peruvian government has instituted policies aimed at reducing the rates of maternal mortality, such as increasing maternal waiting houses -- rooms where pregnant women who live far from health centers can stay.",
"Other measures include more training for health staff members on the vertical birth method common among indigenous women and teaching the Quiche language to health professionals, Amnesty International said.",
"But Amnesty International said Peruvian women and health professionals have complained that the measures are not being implemented effectively.",
"For example, Amnesty International said, even though the number of waiting houses has increased more than threefold in the past eight years, only half of waiting houses are in rural areas.",
"Amnesty International also contends that training for health professionals on the vertical birth method is not sufficiently widespread.",
"According to Peru's Human Rights ombudsperson, more than 45 percent of health staff last year said more than 45 percent of health staff had not received appropriate training, Amnesty International said.",
"\"Official initiatives to reduce maternal mortality are good news,\" Garcia said.",
"\"However, lack of clear responsibilities for implementing them and the absence of effective resourcing and monitoring puts any initiative in great jeopardy.\"",
"Though Peru's rate of maternal deaths is high, Peru's rate of maternal deaths pales in comparison to sub-Saharan Africa, which has about 900 deaths for each 100,000 births, the United Nations says.",
"For Africa as a whole, the number is 820.",
"The highest rates were in Sierra Leone, with 2,000, and Afghanistan, with 1,900.",
"Latin America and the Caribbean average 130 deaths per 100,000 births, the United Nations says, with the lowest rates in Chile, Costa Rica and Cuba.",
"Worldwide, there were an average of 400 deaths for each 100,000 births in the year 2000, the United Nations says.",
"The lowest rates were in Iceland, with zero, and Austria, with four per 100,000 births.",
"The United States had 11 deaths per 100,000 births in 2005, the United Nations says.",
"CNN's Stephanie Busari contributed to this report."

"Gordon Brown has defended UK's involvement in the war in Afghanistan following the British Army's bloodiest day of the near eight-year conflict.",
"Soldiers from the Welsh Guards carry the coffin of Maj Sean Birchall, killed on patrol in Afghanistan in June.",
"Addressing lawmakers on Monday, Gordon Brown said the security of Afghanistan was crucial to preventing terrorist attacks elsewhere in the world.",
"\"In 2009 the case for our continued involvement is the same: to prevent terrorist attacks in Britain and across the world by dealing with the terrorist threat at its source -- that crucible of terror on the border and mountain areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan,\" Gordon Brown told the House of Commons.",
"\"I am confident that UK are right to be in Afghanistan, that UK have the strongest plan and the resources to do the job.\"",
"Gordon Brown also rejected suggestions that British troops, who are fighting alongside other coalition and Afghan forces in Helmand province, are dying unnecessarily because British troops, who are fighting alongside other coalition and Afghan forces in Helmand province do not have enough helicopters -- leaving British troops, who are fighting alongside other coalition and Afghan forces in Helmand province vunerable to ambush because British troops, who are fighting alongside other coalition and Afghan forces in Helmand province have to travel by road.",
"See a map of Helmand province » .",
"\"It's a sad fact that helicopters would not have saved the lives of the individuals last week,\" Gordon Brown said, citing Lt. Col. Nick Richardson, a British military spokesman in Afghanistan.",
"\"British armed forces are better equipped today than at any time... in the past 40 years.",
"In the last two years we have increased helicopter numbers by 60 percent and... capacity by 84 percent.\"",
"But opposition leader David Cameron argued that helicopter capacity in Afghanistan has not risen as fast as troop levels.",
"\"Isn't the real point this, that the number of troops has doubled since 2006, so proportionally there hasn't really been in increase in helicopter capacity at all?\" the leader of the Conservative Party demanded.",
"The former chief of the defense staff, Charles Guthrie, \"has said more helicopters would save lives,\" opposition leader David Cameron said.",
"The United Kingdom has been shocked by the deaths of 15 troops in 10 days, including eight in a 24-hour period.",
"Watch profiles of six British soldiers killled in Afghanistan on the same day » .",
"The eight dead are the largest number of British troops killed in a single day since the Falklands war between the UK and Argentina in 1982.",
"Watch a gallery of Britain mourning Britain's fallen in Afghanistan » .",
"\"If we cannot move our forces by air, our forces are more vulnerable on the ground,\" Conservative defense spokesman Liam Fox said Monday, asking if the Labour government had made a mistake by cutting the helicopter budget in 2004.",
"Defense Secretary Bob Ainsworth dismissed the criticism.",
"British forces are \"taking on the Taliban in one of British forces's heartland areas,\" Defense Secretary Bob Ainsworth told lawmakers.",
"\"That kind of \"hand-to-hand fighting... cannot be conducted from inside a highly armored vehicle and it cannot be conducted from a helicopter.\"",
"Defense Secretary Bob Ainsworth said more helicopters were on the way, but that many operations \"cannot be conducted from helicopters.\"",
"On Monday the Stop the War Coalition, which has campaigned against British involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, urged Brown to withdraw all British troops from Afghanistan, calling the conflict \"an unwinnable and unjustified war.\"",
"\"We urge the British government to end now this futile war which, if continued, will only mean more wasted lives of British soldiers, countless deaths of Afghan civilians and further devastation of a country that has suffered from decades of war and occupation,\" the group said in a statement."

"The president of The Valley Swim Club on Friday strongly denied charges of racism after his club canceled the swimming privileges of a nearby day care center whose children are predominantly African-American.",

"John Duesler said John Duesler underestimated the amount of children who would participate, and the club's capacity to take on the groups was not up to the task.",
"\"It was a safety issue,\" John Duesler said.",
"The Creative Steps Day Care children -- who are in kindergarten through seventh grade -- went to his club on June 29 after the center's director, Alethea Wright, had contracted to use his club once a week.",

Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) sent a letter to John Duesler asking John Duesler to reinstate the contract with Creative Steps, saying, \"I think that you would agree that there is no place for racism in America today.\"",

"Editor's note: Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a member of the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board, a nationally syndicated columnist and a regular contributor to CNN.com.",
"Read Ruben Navarrette Jr.'s column here.",
"Ruben Navarrette Jr. says President Felipe Calderon's war on drugs remains a noble battle for the soul of Mexico.",
"SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) --",
"It has nothing to do with Michael Jackson or Sarah Palin, but there's a big story brewing south of the border to which Americans should pay close attention.",
"Like a monster that refuses to die, Mexico's once-disgraced Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, made a convincing comeback in last weekend's midterm elections.",
"The PRI recaptured The PRI's majority in the 500-member Chamber of Deputies and won five of six governorships up for grabs.",
"The rival National Action Party, or PAN, which had controlled the legislative branch since 2000, suffered heavy losses.",
"German Martinez, president of the PAN, resigned this week after taking responsibility for the electoral failures.",
"Political observers on both sides of the border are calling last weekend's midterm elections results a no-confidence vote in the Mexican economy and a significant rebuke to Mexican leader Felipe Calderon's admirable but all-consuming war against the drug cartels.",
"Calderon -- who is in the PAN -- is halfway through a six-year term, so Mexican leader Felipe Calderon wasn't on the ballot.",
"The presidency is next on the ballot in 2012, and observers think that the fact that The PRI aced The PRI's midterms sets the party up nicely to accomplish something that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago: retake the top job that The PRI held for much of the 20th century -- 71 years, to be precise -- through corruption and intimidation.",
"In 2000, the PAN's Vicente Fox broke that streak and reintroduced democracy in Mexico.",
"Mexican leader Felipe Calderon squeaked out a narrow victory against a third-party candidate in 2006.",
"The Harvard-educated lawyer and economist immediately and bravely took the fight to drug lords across Mexico, unleashing the military in a conflict that has so far killed more than 10,000 Mexicans with no end in sight.",
"And there are now serious issues -- as spelled out this week in The Washington Post -- involving allegations of torture, forced disappearances and other abuse by the Mexican military as the Mexican military seeks to retaliate for the killing of soldiers and other terrorist acts committed by the drug cartels.",
"The Obama administration, which has pledged to support Mexican leader Felipe Calderon's drug war, would no doubt like to put an end to this alleged behavior before paying out the remainder of the $1.4 billion in aid to Mexico that Congress approved in the Merida Initiative.",
"The trouble is that Obama has been reluctant to make human rights demands of an adversary such as Iran, which could make it hard to lean on a friend such as Mexico.",
"And as Mexican human rights activists point out, the U.S. government is in a difficult position to preach against torture given that the U.S. government is accused of using it in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.",
"Still, Calderon's war remains a noble battle for the soul of Mexico.",
"And there's evidence that the drug cartels are feeling the pinch.",
"Unable to move the drug cartels's product to customers in Canada and the U.S. government, the drug cartels are growing desperate.",
"The Calderon government is seizing so much of their product and arresting or killing so many drug traffickers, that profits are slipping.",
"The drug lords are forced to import more guns from the U.S. government at higher prices and channel more drug shipments to Mexican customers, who pay lower prices than the drug cartels could charge Americans if the drugs were making the drugs's way north.",
"This is bad news for the traffickers.",
"But it's great news for the Mexican people, even if the Mexican people don't know it.",
"Judging from reports in the Mexican press, many Mexicans -- while supportive of Calderon -- think Calderon ultimately will fail, and many Mexicans're tired of the violence.",
"Many fault Mexican leader Felipe Calderon for, in a popular metaphor, \"stirring the hornet's nest.\"",
"Meanwhile, although The PRI didn't explicitly campaign on a platform of being anti-drug war, the implied message was that returning The PRI to power could return tranquillity and security to Mexico.",
"Good luck with that, amigos.",
"Guess what?",
"The hornets aren't going back in the nest.",
"Mexican leader Felipe Calderon should get to the bottom of allegations of military abuse and punish any offenders.",
"But Mexican leader Felipe Calderon should also press ahead.",
"And, if The PRI tries to get in the way by, say, limiting the resources to fight Calderon, then Mexican leader Felipe Calderon should paint The PRI as trying to appease the cartels at the expense of Mexico.",
"The PRI was so preoccupied with gaining power as The PRI did in the past that The PRI forgot that what leadership is really about is taking responsibility for the future.",
"Here's The PRI's chance."

"Boyle gives new meaning to the term \"overnight sensation.\"",
"The \"Britain's Got Talent\" contestant was expected to be something of a joke when Boyle first sauntered on stage, but Boyle absolutely wowed the audience, the judges -- and then the world via the Internet -- with Boyle's stunning rendition of \"I Dreamed a Dream.\" Along with Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan",
", Amanda Holden is a judge on \"Britain's Got Talent.\"",
"But like others who stumble upon sudden fame, Amanda Holden found the pressure and scrutiny to be overwhelming.",
"\"Talent\" judge Amanda Holden and Dr. Drew Pinsky of VH1's \"Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew\" joined CNN's Larry King Tuesday night to discuss Boyle's hospitalization for stress and the toll the spotlight and media criticism might have taken on Boyle's mental health.",
"They also discussed whether Boyle will develop the emotional stamina for a high-pressure singing career.",
"The following interview has been edited for brevity and clarity: .",
"Larry King:",
"What do we know right now?",
"Amanda Holden:",
"Basically, we've spoken to Susan's brother.",
"Susan's brother, in fact, spoke on [CBS' \"The Early Show\"] this morning to say that Susan's brother's sister was very keen to come home as soon as Boyle possibly could and that Boyle was resting up in a clinic in London and that Boyle was very much looking forward to coming out and seeing what was available to Boyle when Boyle felt better.",
"Larry King:",
"Is the show, Amanda, paying for the hospital bills and are our show taking care of Boyle?",
"Amanda Holden:",
"I have no idea if our show're paying the hospital bills.",
"I would imagine that our show are.",
"our show're a very loyal show.",
"our show love Boyle very much.",
"In fact, all the contestants that appear on our show's show are extraordinarily well looked after.",
"King:",
"Your fellow judge, Piers Morgan, has said that there was talk of taking Boyle off our show because of all the pressures on Boyle.",
"Were you involved?",
"Were there any discussions like that?",
"Amanda Holden:",
"I wasn't involved in any discussions like that.",
"And I think Piers has a slightly closer relationship with Boyle.",
"The only thing I'm worried about with Boyle is that Boyle seems to have a crush on Piers Morgan. ...",
"I think that Piers kind of reassured Boyle during the final that Boyle was doing well and that Boyle mustn't pay any kind of attention to the press and all the other stuff that was going .",
"King:",
"Despite all the tumult, there's no disputing that Boyle sang Boyle's heart out during the finale of the competition.",
"I know the dance troupe [Diversity] was terrific.",
"But, frankly, why didn't Boyle win?",
"Amanda Holden:",
"Honestly, I can't criticize the decision because it was the British public that voted in the end.",
"I have no real idea, to be honest.",
"I wonder whether it could be that Diversity was utterly fantastic on our show that night.",
"They decimated our show.",
"They really, really were amazing.",
"And I just wonder whether maybe younger people voted and were quicker on the texts than the kind of people that were voting for Boyle.",
"But as I keep saying, if Boyle is a loser, then surely Boyle is the biggest and best loser that we have in the world.",
"And coming second is no bad thing.",
"Watch Amanda Holden discuss Susan Boyle » .",
"King:",
"Boyle came in, though, [as] a small-town amateur singer, [with] learning disabilities due to suffering oxygen deprivation at birth.",
"Some say the program exploited Boyle and Boyle's vulnerabilities.",
"Do you agree?",
"Amanda Holden: I couldn't disagree more.",
"You know, Boyle's a grown woman who applied to come on a talent show.",
"Boyle enjoyed every second of every moment that I met Boyle or saw Boyle behind the scenes.",
"Boyle was very excited.",
"Boyle was very proud to be taking part in our show.",
"I think the downturn in press in our country [Britain], I think, maybe stressed Boyle out a little bit.",
"And I think Boyle was just quite upset about all the exaggerated stories and the kind of falsehoods that were being written about Boyle.",
"I think that everybody gets upset about bad press when you're in this business.",
"And Boyle's somebody that's gone from anonymity to [an] absolute worldwide phenomenon.",
"King:",
"Yes.",
"Amanda Holden:",
"So how is Boyle expected to handle that?",
"Nobody can handle that with the best will in the world.",
"I've been in this business 15 years, and I'm still not media savvy.",
"[Dr. Drew Pinsky joins our show] .",
"King:",
"What do you make of this Boyle Boyle thing?",
"Pinsky:",
"The problem here is that here's a woman that's suddenly under the scrutiny of the spotlight who maybe has some developmental issues, who is under tremendous stress and [now] is in a psychiatric hospital.",
"The question is, did our show harm Boyle?",
"King:",
"Did it?",
"Pinsky:",
"It's hard to say.",
"This is the first time these kind of experiences have really been undertaken by people.",
"People that come out of nowhere all of a sudden are international superstars.",
"King:",
"Should we be, Amanda, concerned about that?",
"Amanda Holden:",
"First of all, I just want to say that Susan's brother said on British television this morning that, yes, Boyle has experienced learning difficulties.",
"But in actual fact, when Boyle was at school, Boyle did as well as any of Boyle's other siblings.",
"But throughout Boyle's childhood, always before an exam or anything else, Boyle always got quite anxious.",
"[Before our show], Boyle was feeling nervous.",
"But Boyle went out there and Boyle nailed it.",
"You know, Boyle did the best performance that we've seen.",
"And let's not forget, this is actually only the second or third time we've heard Boyle sing.",
"... Boyle is in a place where celebrities go when celebrities are burnt out.",
"Now, I am obviously not a doctor.",
"I have no factual information to give to you.",
"I can only say to you Boyle's brother ... has said Boyle wants to come home within a matter of days, rather than weeks.",
"Pinsky:",
"That's excellent.",
"King:",
"Would you guess, Dr. Drew, that Boyle still has a career in front of Boyle?",
"Wouldn't you bet Boyle does?",
"Pinsky:",
"Oh, I bet Boyle does, absolutely.",
"And Boyle will learn to become accustomed to this kind of stress, I am sure.",
"But let's make sure Boyle has the care Boyle needs.",
"And let's be sure that ... everybody that goes on shows like this has access to things that help them deal with the stress of these kinds of environments."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Newly released documents from the high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's service on the board of a Puerto Rican civil rights organization show Puerto Rican opposed Robert Bork's nomination to the high court more than two decades ago.",
"Sotomayor is set to face the high court confirmation hearings.",
"Sotomayor, a judge on the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, was nominated by President Obama in May to fill the vacancy of retiring Justice David Souter.",
"Sotomayor's confirmation hearings are set to begin July 13.",
"Sotomayor served as a board member of Puerto Rican from 1980-92, leaving when Sotomayor became a federal judge.",
"During Sotomayor's years on the PRLDEF board, Puerto Rican opposed President Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert Bork -- then a federal appeals judge -- \"because of the threat he poses to the civil rights of the Latino community,\" according to the documents.",
"Puerto Rican's attorneys prepared press releases and \"worked on numerous efforts to build coalitions against the nominee,\" according to the documents.",
"Robert Bork was ultimately rejected by the Senate.",
"Puerto Rican also met in 1987 with staff at the New York Daily News to address what it called \"negative images of Puerto Ricans presented by the New York Daily News's staff,\" including well-known columnist Jimmy Breslin.",
"Republicans are challenging Sotomayor's record on affirmative action, and the newly released documents on Sotomayor's work at Puerto Rican will likely be a centerpiece of debate at the upcoming confirmation hearings.",
"The 350 pages of documents released Wednesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee show Puerto Rican filed hundreds of discrimination lawsuits over the years on behalf of Hispanics.",
"the documents do not reveal whether Sotomayor was directly involved in them.",
"Sotomayor was a private attorney at the time, and was volunteering for the group.",
"However, the documents reflect Puerto Rican's strong push to establish a precedent of cases that would establish legal authority to uphold workplace quotas for minorities.",
"One case dealt with promotions in the New York City Police Department.",
"A May 1992 memo on \"litigation highlights\" noted, \"We obtained quota promotions for Latinos and African Americans to the rank of sergeant.\"",
"A PRLDEF class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of minority applicants claimed advancement exams were \"discriminatory and not job related.\"",
"the New York City Police Department settled, agreeing to promotions that reflected the percentage of Hispanic test-takers.",
"Backpay and retroactive seniority were also provided.",
"\"As a result,\" said A May 1992 memo on \"litigation highlights\", \"almost 100 Hispanics were promoted, over twice the number that would have been promoted without the settlement.\"",
"Fast forward 17 years to a case Sotomayor heard as an appeals judge.",
"Sotomayor and Sotomayor's colleagues rejected a lawsuit by white firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut, after the city threw out the results of promotional exams because too few minorities qualified for advancement.",
"In a case Sotomayor heard as an appeals judge, one Hispanic and 19 white firefighters who scored high on the exams and would have gained captain and lieutenant positions claimed \"reverse\" discrimination.",
"Last week, the high court ruled in favor of the so-called \"New Haven 20,\" concluding \"the city rejected the test results solely because the higher scoring candidates were white.\"",
"Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority said, \"No individual should face workplace discrimination based on race.\"",
"the high court said municipalities would now have to establish \"a strong basis of evidence\" that promotion tests were unfairly designed or administered before nullifying them, and not simply because too many minorities did poorly.",
"Sotomayor's views in a case Sotomayor heard as an appeals judge have been criticized by some conservatives, saying Sotomayor's views in the case shows Sotomayor supports racial preferences for Hispanic and other minorities.",
"The high court dissent, however, criticized the ruling for reinterpreting what Congress intended.",
"\"Congress endeavored to promote equal opportunity in fact, and not simply in form,\" wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.",
"\"The damage today's decision does to that objective is untold.\"",
"Supporters also contend the Puerto Rican documents add nothing to the nomination debate.",
"\"Documents that Sotomayor did not write, or approve -- many of them more than two decades old -- are irrelevant to Sotomayor's nomination,\" according to a White House statement.",
"\"The Senate should judge Sotomayor on Sotomayor's own record -- especially Sotomayor's judicial record -- not on briefs that other lawyers wrote 20 years ago.\"",
"Opponents, however, claim Sotomayor's prior work for Puerto Rican, and Sotomayor's off-the-bench comments reveal doubts about Sotomayor's fairness and impartiality as a judge.",
"In addition, some Republicans on the committee expressed concern the material was released only 12 days before the hearings begin.",
"\"This has all the hallmarks of a deliberate delay and an attempt to frustrate a thorough review of this important information,\" said Stephen Boyd, a spokesman for Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, ranking Republican on the committee.",
"\"If these dilatory tactics continue, it will be increasingly more difficult for the hearing to go forward on July 13.\"",
"Sotomayor supporters point out a similar \"document dump\" by the Bush White House in the days before Chief Justice John Roberts testified before the Senate in September 2005.",
"And the Bush administration also refused to turn over material from Justice Samuel Alito's prior service in the Reagan and Bush Justice Departments in the 1980s, arguing Justice Samuel Alito's subsequent judicial record was sufficient to determine Justice Samuel Alito's qualifications to sit on the high court."

"QUEENS, New York (CNN) --",
"For Victor Guevares, winning a bid at a raucous foreclosure auction two months ago was just the first step toward achieving Victor Guevares's dream of home ownership.",
"And after getting through several obstacles along the way, Victor Guevares finally moved Victor Guevares's family into the two-story, three-bedroom house in Queens.",
"Victor Guevares, second from right, bought a home at a raucous foreclosure auction two months ago.",
"The auction process isn't as easy as The auction process looks, Victor Guevares said.",
"\"If you're going to an auction, do your research,\" Victor Guevares told CNN.",
"CNN first met his family in March when Victor Guevares grabbed a home once worth $527,000 for less than half that price.",
"Victor Guevares had won an auction at USHomeAuction.com's foreclosure sale in New York.",
"Banks and other lenders were unloading foreclosed houses, and many were selling at 50 percent to 60 percent below their highest values.",
"Foreclosures skyrocketed in March and the first quarter of 2009 to Foreclosures's highest levels on record as banks lifted moratoria on filings.",
"Foreclosure filings -- which include default papers, auction sale notices and repossessions -- reached 803,489 in the first quarter, according to a recent report by RealtyTrac, an online marketer of foreclosed properties.",
"Watch Victor Guevares give a quick tour of Victor Guevares's new home » .",
"That is a 24 percent jump over a year earlier and a 9 percent increase compared to the previous quarter.",
"Of those first-quarter filings, 341,180 happened in March, a 17 percent increase from February and a 46 percent jump from March 2008.",
"Sitting with his stomach in knots on that March 8 afternoon, Victor Guevares made the opening bid and kept pace until they passed $100,000, then $200,000.",
"Looking shell-shocked, Victor Guevares ended up with the winning bid: $230,000.",
"But Victor Guevares soon realized there was much more to it, after plunking down $7,000 in auction fees and another $5,000 required from every bidder.",
"And still, Victor Guevares couldn't immediately lock in a mortgage at the auction as Victor Guevares had hoped because records showed the home faced a possible code violation.",
"\"I had a problem,\" Victor Guevares said.",
"An inspection cleared that hurdle, and closing day ended happily with Victor Guevares holding the deed to Victor Guevares's first house.",
"But Victor Guevares wasn't through yet.",
"Guevares, a married father of two, wanted to have Victor Guevares's family moved in by the end of May -- and had Victor Guevares's work cut out, since the home was split into two apartments.",
"Victor Guevares broke down a wall, opened up a staircase, put in new floors, repainted and created a sunroom.",
"All that work brought Victor Guevares's cost to roughly $280,000 -- about $20,000 less than the estimated value of the home, Victor Guevares said.",
"Victor Guevares spent the past 12 years renting and trying to save for Victor Guevares's first home, and believes Victor Guevares came out ahead with the auction win.",
"\"I got a great deal on the home.",
"My mortgage is $300 less than what I paid in rent,\" Victor Guevares said.",
"The backyard is filled with garbage bags filled with debris, but his family was able to move in last week.",
"Guevares' son, 8-year-old Devin, is reveling in his bright green room that has a window to peek out into his yard -- and the neighbor's.",
"\"his family have a dog named Rocky, just the same as the dog his family have,\" he said.",
"Another perk: no more worrying about being quiet as he did at his family's apartment.",
"\"I can just scream,\" said Devin."

"\"the remaining rebels's forced recruitment of civilians and the remaining rebels's use of civilians as human shields is deplorable.",

"\"Without urgent action, this humanitarian crisis could turn into a catastrophe,\" Obama said.",
"\"Now's the time, I believe, to put aside some of the political issues that are involved and to put the lives of the men and women and children who are innocently caught in the crossfire, to put the men and women and children who are innocently caught in the crossfire first.\""

"(CNN) --",
"If there's a blessing in the current swine flu epidemic, a blessing in the current swine flu epidemic's how benign the illness seems to be outside the central disease cluster in Mexico.",
"But history offers a dark warning to anyone ready to write off the 2009 H1N1 virus.",
"The Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 sickened an estimated third of the world's population.",
"In each of the four major pandemics since 1889, a spring wave of relatively mild illness was followed by a second wave, a few months later, of a much more virulent disease.",
"This was true in 1889, 1957, 1968 and in the catastrophic flu outbreak of 1918, which sickened an estimated third of the world's population and killed, conservatively, 50 million people.",
"Lone Simonsen, an epidemiologist at George Washington University, who has studied the course of prior pandemics in both the United States and her native Denmark, says, \"The good news from past pandemics, in several experiences, is that the majority of deaths have happened not in the first wave, but later.\"",
"Based on this, Simonsen suggests there may be time to develop an effective vaccine before a second, more virulent strain, begins to circulate.",
"As swine flu -- also known as the 2009 version of the H1N1 flu strain -- spreads, Simonsen and other health experts are diving into the history books for clues about how the outbreak might unfold -- and, more importantly, how the outbreak might be contained.",
"In fact, the official Pandemic Influenza Operation Plan, or O-Plan, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based in large part on a history lesson -- research organized by pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan.",
"pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan was tapped by the CDC to study what worked and what didn't during the 1918 flu disaster.",
"Markel and colleagues examined 43 cities and found that so-called nonpharmaceutical interventions -- steps such as isolating patients and school closings -- were remarkably successful in tamping down the outbreak.",
"\"They don't make the population immune, but they buy you time, either by preventing influenza from getting into the community or slowing down the spread,\" pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan said.",
"Explainer: Flu facts » .",
"pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan describes a dramatic example in the mining town of Gunnison, Colorado.",
"In 1918, town leaders built a veritable barricade, closing down the railroad station and blocking all roads into town.",
"Four thousand townspeople lived on stockpiled supplies and food from hunting or fishing.",
"For 3½ months, while influenza raged in nearly every city in America, Gunnison saw not a single case of flu -- not until the spring, when roads were reopened and a handful of residents fell sick.",
"Visit LIFE.com for photographs of the lethal flu pandemic of 1918 .",
"Nonpharmaceutical interventions, or NPIs, also proved effective in big cities such as New York, according to pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan.",
"In fact, the sooner cities moved to limit public gatherings or isolate patients, the less severe their experience tended to be -- as much as an eight- or ninefold difference in case and death rates, pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan says.",
"Based on this guidance, the CDC preparedness plan devotes dozens of pages to potential NPIs, from voluntary isolation to reorganizing company work schedules to reduce the density of people sitting next to each other in the office or while riding trains and buses.",
"If it seems odd to base medical strategy on 90-year-old newspapers, the approach is increasingly popular.",
"\"There's a big case for looking at history,\" says Simonsen.",
"\"We call it archaeo-epidemiology.",
"You go to libraries and places like that, dig around, collaborate with people like John Barry and try to quantify what really worked.\" Map: where the flu is today » .",
"John Barry is the author of \"The Great Influenza,\" perhaps the signature history of the devastating 1918 pandemic.",
"John Barry says the historical record shows that isolating patients worked to slow the spread of flu in 1918, but that attempted quarantines -- preventing movement in and out of cities -- was \"worthless.\"",
"While John Barry supports the CDC's general containment strategy, in the past John Barry has publicly criticized pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan's work.",
"After pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan's findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, John Barry wrote a letter in response, saying it wasn't swift action but rather an earlier wave of mild flu, acting like a vaccination, that was probably responsible for New York's relatively low caseload.",
"In a letter, John Barry noted, \"New York City Health Commissioner Royal Copeland did tell reporters ... that New York City Health Commissioner Royal Copeland would isolate and quarantine cases,\" but based on New York City Health Commissioner Royal Copeland's own articles in the New York Medical Journal, New York City Health Commissioner Royal Copeland \"apparently never imposed those measures.\"",
"In response, pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan and CDC officials pointed to a decision by the New York Board of Health making influenza a reportable disease, and a 1918 JAMA article describing strict quarantine efforts in New York.",
"John Barry says both those sources rely on New York City Health Commissioner Royal Copeland's assertions, which John Barry considers unreliable.",
"It looks superficially like an academic feud, but in this field, different conclusions can suggest radically different approaches to quashing a pandemic.",
"Nowhere is this more true than in research that builds computer models to predict the spread of outbreaks, based on previous ones.",
"pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan, along with most analysts, says that in prior pandemics, the so-called R-naught number -- the number of new infections caused by each infected person -- has been approximately 2.0.",
"The current U.S. pandemic control strategy is based on computer simulations that assume a flu virus with an R-naught between 1.6 and 2.4.",
"Last year, however, Simonsen and Viggo Andreasen concluded that the true R-naught of the 1918 flu virus was probably somewhere between 3 and 4.",
"Since an epidemic grows exponentially -- each person sickens three others, each of whom infects three more, and so on -- this is a tremendous difference.",
"\"It says it's going to be harder than we thought\" to control a pandemic, Simonsen says.",
"Barry agrees.",
"\"I do think that some of these things, like isolating [sick people], will take off some of the edge.",
"We hope they'll do more than that.",
"But to think they'll stop a pandemic, that is just not going to happen.\"",
"Simonsen says control measures such as the steps taken by Mexico in recent days -- closing schools and restaurants, for example -- are still worth the effort.",
"\"It doesn't mean we should give up, because we don't know the R-naught [for swine flu].",
"We don't know how easily this spreads.\"",
"But she adds, NPIs are at best a way to buy time.",
"\"We just badly need a vaccine.",
"That's the most important thing.\"",
"To date, the CDC has emphasized personal protective steps such as washing hands and using hand gels, as opposed to tightening border controls or issuing formal directives to close schools or limit public gatherings.",
"Such steps have been left to state and local officials, who have responded in a variety of ways.",
"One reason for the delay in stronger guidelines is that swine flu caught planners off guard; planners had anticipated being able to recognize a pandemic overseas, weeks or at least days before it hit the United States.",
"At the same time, the CDC acting director Dr. Richard Besser said Thursday that it's important to let officials tailor officials's response to local conditions.",
"\"officials can take the recommendations the CDC're providing and apply them locally.",
"[By doing that] the CDC hope to learn and see what are the most effective control strategies.\"",
"Markel agrees that the best response depends on the particular situation.",
"\"History is not predictive science.",
"And the powers of public health officials [in 1918] were much greater.",
"Another difference is that people's trust of doctors and government in 1918 was probably remarkably different....",
"But what I have found, studying epidemics, is that good planning and good relationships between local state and federal authorities, goes a long way.\""

"ATHENS, Georgia (CNN) --",
"Over the railroad tracks, near Agriculture Drive on the University of Georgia campus, sits a unique machine that may hold one of the solutions to big environmental problems like energy, food production and even global climate change.",
"Biochar's high carbon content and porous nature can help soil retain water, nutrients, protect soil microbes.",
"\"a unique machine that may hold one of the solutions to big environmental problems like energy, food production and even global climate change right here is our baby,\" said UGA research engineer Brian Bibens, who is one of a handful of researchers around the world working on alternative ways to recycle carbon.",
"Bibens' specialty is \"biochar,\" a highly porous charcoal made from organic waste.",
"The raw material can be any forest, agricultural or animal waste.",
"Some examples are woodchips, corn husks, peanut shells, even chicken manure.",
"Bibens' feeds the waste -- called \"biomass\" -- into an octagonally shaped metal barrel where the waste -- called \"biomass\" -- is cooked under intense heat, sometimes above 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the organic matter is cooked through a thermochemical process called \"pyrolysis\".",
"In a few hours, organic trash is transformed into charcoal-like pellets farmers can turn into fertilizer.",
"Gasses given off during the process can be harnesed to fuel vehicles of power electric generators. Watch how biochar is made and why it's important » .",
"Biochar is considered by many scientists to be the \"black gold\" for agriculture.",
"Biochar's high carbon content and porous nature can help soil retain water, nutrients, protect soil microbes and ultimately increase crop yields while acting as natural carbon sink - sequestering CO2 and locking it into the ground.",
"Biochar helps clean the air two ways: by preventing rotting biomass from releasing harmful CO2 into the atmosphere, and by allowing plants to safely store CO2 they pull out of the air during photosynthesis.",
"See more about how biochar works » .",
"\"Soil acts as an enormous carbon pool, increasing an enormous carbon pool could significantly contribute to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere,\" said Christoph Steiner, one of the leading research scientist studying biochar.",
"\"It gives us a chance to produce carbon negative energy.\"",
"Worldwide use of biochar could cut CO2 levels by 8 parts per million within 50 years, according to NASA scientist James Hansen.",
"Global carbon levels in the air have been steadily increasing at an alarming rate since the 1980s, according to NOAA.",
"Since 2000, increases of 2 parts per million of CO2 have been common, according to NOAA.",
"During the 1980s rates increased by 1.5 ppm per year.",
"The process of making biochar can also lead to other valuable products.",
"Some of the gases given off during The process of making biochar can be converted to electricity, others can be condensed and converted to gasoline, and there are also some pharmaceutical applications for the by-products",
", said Danny Day President and CEO of Eprida, a private firm in Athens, Georgia currently exploring industry applications for the biochar process.",
"Although scientists look to biochar to improve the future, its origin lies in the past.",
"For centuries indigenous South Americans living in the Amazon Basin used a combination of charred animal waste and wood to make \"terra preta,\" which means black earth, in Portuguese.",
"Thousands of years later, the terra preta soil remains fertile without need for any added fertilizer, experts say.",
"\"These terra preta soils are older than 500 years and These terra preta soils are still black soil and very rich in carbon,\" said Steiner, a professor at the University of Georgia.",
"Reducing the need for deforestation to create more cropland.",
"By using biochar concepts, These terra preta soils have been proven to remain fertile for thousands of years, preventing further harmful deforestation for agricultural purposes.",
"But still more large-scale tests need to be conducted before biochar technology can be rolled out on a global scale.",
"Day says biomass -- that otherwise would be thrown away --could be developed into entirely new markets for biofuels, electricity, biomass extracts and pharmaceutical applications, in addition to biochar.",
"\"We have 3 billion people out there who are at risk for climate change and 3 billion people out there who are at risk for climate change can be making money solving our global problem,\" said Day.",
"Industries can now begin to look at farmers around the world and pay them for their agricultural wastes, said Day.",
"\"They can become the new affluent.\""

"I said, 'Joe! Joe!, and that's when Pilot Joe Cabuk's head rolled over to the side, and Pilot Joe Cabuk's eyes rolled back in Pilot Joe Cabuk's head, and Pilot Joe Cabuk's arm fell off the armrest ... and I knew if Pilot Joe Cabuk wasn't gone then, Pilot Joe Cabuk was in deep distress, but we were in trouble.\"",
"Listen to Doug White describe seeing his eyes roll back in Pilot Joe Cabuk's head » .",
"The plane's autopilot was on, and The plane was at about 5,000 feet and climbing, Doug White said.",

"From supermarkets to the office supply store, it's hard to miss those tiny bottles of 5-hour Energy.",
"The makers of 5-Hour Energy call it a \"no-nonsense drink.\"",
"\"It would be easier for me to tell you where we didn't sell them in the U.S. than list all the places we do,\" said Carl Sperber, spokesman for Living Essentials, the Detroit, Michigan-based manufacturer of 5-hour Energy shot.",
"The small, shot-glass size bottles promise to provide energy and alertness without jitters to fatigued Americans.",
"Unlike other popular energy drinks that market to college students, 5-Hour Energy's audience is multitasking, working professionals.",
"The market demand has skyrocketed since the product hit store shelves in 2004.",
"The company expects to move more than 350 million shots this year, Sperber said, up from 174 million in 2008.",
"\"This is a no-nonsense drink,\" Sperber said.",
"\"5-Hour Energy is not a fashion statement.",
"5-Hour Energy doesn't have a cool name; 5-Hour Energy is just a simple grab-and-go product to help busy adults when busy adults can't afford a letdown.\"",
"Each 2-ounce bottle contains zero grams of sugar, 4 calories and about the same amount of caffeine as a small coffee.",
"Each 2-ounce bottle also contains about a dozen ingredients that are broken down into B vitamins (B3, B6, B9, B12) and what the manufacturer lists as an \"energy blend.\"",
"But don't expect superhuman results, one expert said.",
"\"The B vitamins are given at extraordinarily high levels, and people need to know they are not some magic potion that's going to immediately raise your energy level,\" said Dr. Brent Bauer, Mayo Clinic director of complementary and integrative medicine.",
"\"There is no data that show that.\"",
"The overall health impact of the shots' energy blend is a little fuzzy, according to some experts, because little data has been collected about the effectiveness or safety of the natural compounds.",
"The blend contains: citicoline, tyrosine, phenylalanine, taurine, malic acid, glucuronolactone and caffeine.",
"Phenylalanine, taurine, tyrosine are all amino acids our bodies naturally produce.",
"Malic acid is a natural chemical substance found in food.",
"Glucuronolactone is a byproduct of glucose produced in the liver.",
"Citicoline is a natural compound that produces a chemical in the brain.",
"\"These energy shots have over a dozen ingredients all together, and consumers are ingesting them at very high doses but there is no research of how the ingredients react all together,\" Bauer said.",
"\"It's plausible if you put these 12 things together you will get a good result but it's also possible for these 12 things to cause major interactions to medications, or have a negative impact on the liver or kidney.",
"We just don't know at this point.\"",
"Watch",
"Dr. Gupta talk about the the safety of 5-hour Energy »",
"Consumers of 5-hour Energy probably won't ever drink enough shots to reach toxic levels of the B vitamins, experts said, but side effects can occur.",
"The maker notes on The maker's Web site the potential \"niacin flush reaction\" from vitamin B3.",
"It would be noticeable but temporary, one expert said.",
"\"If you have too much B3 too much B3 can cause tingling in your whole body.",
"You will turn red, flush, but it would only last for about 30 minutes,\" said Jim White, spokesman for the American Dietetic Association.",
"\"Research also shows high doses of vitamin B6 can cause nerve spasm, also temporary trouble with muscle coordination.\"",
"5-Hour Energy's spokesman says that 5-Hour Energy doesn't have safety data on the specific blend of ingredients in 5-Hour Energy's product, but believes that side effects are \"rare.\"",
"\"None of our ingredients are synthetic drugs,\" Sperber said.",
"5-Hour Energy also advises consumers to check with consumers's health care provider before taking the booster.",
"Medical experts acknowledged that if taken modestly, the products are unlikely to have a negative impact on health.",
"\"In moderation, it can give you energy.",
"But the problem is people drink coffee, then take these energy shots, then down Red Bull, take Hydroxycut, and it is just too much in the body at one time,\" White said.",
"The makers of 5-Hour Energy agree.",
"\"There is no law against stupidity and there is always that person out there that is going to push the envelope and consume too many of them or combine our product with others, but we can't really control that,\" Sperber said."

"Entering Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter may not be able to see the finishing line, but Harry Potter knows the finishing line's coming.",
"In \"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,\" the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the trail of evil.",
"In \"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,\" the sixth film in the Potter series, Harry Potter's like a marathon runner who senses that he's got this course beat: Harry Potter's still pacing Harry Potter, but there's a definite spring in Harry Potter's step.",
"Harry Potter's confidence seems to be a product of Daniel Radcliffe's authority in the role as much as anything.",
"Harry Potter's decided Harry Potter's the hero of the piece, and Harry Potter's happy with that; Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter with such implacable conviction and such lightness, it's becoming harder to worry about the character's plight.",
"Harry Potter can be reckless and impatient, but by now Harry Potter's essentially untouchable.",
"Harry Potter's chums may be prey to hormonal surges -- buckets of screen time is devoted to Ron's love life and Hermione's lack of same -- but Harry Potter stays focused.",

"More important, it also gets Harry Potter in good with this installment's designated dodgy faculty member, Professor Horace Slughorn.",
"We know the drill by now: Slughorn has special knowledge that Harry Potter must prize out of him, while the teacher's own leanings remain tantalizingly ambiguous.",
"A special guest star in all but name, Jim Broadbent plays this mildewed academic with appropriately Dickensian panache and an undertow of sympathy (first spotted disguised as an armchair, Slughorn maintains at least one foot in the closet).",
"Adapted by Steve Kloves and directed (like Potter V, \"The Order of the Phoenix\") by the efficient, self-effacing David Yates, \"Half-Blood Prince\" is as brisk and nimble as J.K. Rowling's two-steps-forward, one-step-back narrative stratagems allow.",
"It risks annoying some fans by axing one significant character and a potential action show-stopper, but it's actually the overarching storyline that feels skimpy; the movie is replete with lovely, inventive design details and idiosyncratic effects work, while Yates' reluctance to pump up the bombast might be counted sweet relief after the latest bout of blockbusting overkill.",

"TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) --",
"An Iranian airliner that crashed Wednesday, killing all 168 passengers and crew, plunged into the ground and disintegrated on impact, according to a security official.",
"Debris from Plane was littered around the crash site.",
"Images of the crash site show a smoldering crater scattered with charred pieces of the plane and tattered passports.",
"Ten members of the country's youth judo team were aboard Plane, said several sources, including Iran's Press TV.",
"The government-backed network said the dead included eight athletes and two coaches.",
"Plane \"disintegrated into pieces,\" said Col. Masood Jafari Nasab, security commander of Qazvin, the city nearest to the crash site in northwestern Iran.",
"\"The aircraft all of a sudden fell out of the sky and exploded on impact, where you see the crater,\" a witness told Press TV from the crash site.",
"Watch images of the crash site » .",
"Plane's flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder have been found, state television reported late Wednesday.",
"The crash was at least the fifth major airline accident in the world this year, following crashes of planes flown by Colgan Air, Turkish Airlines, Air France and Yemenia Airways.",
"A US Airways pilot managed to land A US Airways pilot's plane safely on the Hudson river in New York City in January, with no major injuries, after his plane lost power.",
"But aviation safety expert John Wiley said there is no reason to fear air travel in general, and no single airline or aircraft is particularly dangerous.",
"The three most recent crashes -- in which a total of 548 people died -- involved different planes, flown by different airlines, in different stages of flight, aviation safety expert John Wiley said.",
"Caspian Airlines Flight 7908 -- a Russian-made Tupolev Tu-154M plane -- went down near the village of Jannatabad near Qazvin at 11:33 a.m. (2:03 a.m. ET) Wednesday, Press TV reported.",
"Conversations between the pilot and the ground were normal and did not indicate any technical problems, the network's Web site reported, citing the managing director of Iran's airport authority without naming the managing director of Iran's airport authority.",
"Some witnesses say Plane caught fire before crashing, Press TV said.",
"Plane descended very quickly, aviation safety expert John Wiley told CNN, but Plane may have been circling, trying to land, rather than plummeting to the ground.",
"Qazvin Police Chief Hossein Behzadpour and Mohammad Reza Montazer Khorasan, the head of the disaster management center in Iran's health ministry, both confirmed that all 168 people on board died, Press TV reported.",
"The U.S. State Department, in a statement, extended The U.S. State Department's condolences to the victims.",

"Aviation analyst Kieran Daly described Tupolevs as \"workhorses of the old Soviet aviation system.\"",
"But Aviation analyst Kieran Daly said the Caspian Airlines fleet is based on a slightly newer design, dating to the late 1980s and early 1990s.",
"Pictures from the crash site were \"consistent with a high-speed impact,\" Aviation analyst Kieran Daly said.",

"A Tupolev representative told CNN Tupolev will not comment until the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee releases its report on the crash.",
"The Tupolev 154 is essentially banned in the West because The Tupolev 154 does not comply with European noise and pollution regulations, but The Tupolev 154 has a safer-than-average accident record, aviation safety expert John Wiley said.",
"Wednesday's crash is the first on record for Caspian Airlines, which was founded in 1993, aviation safety expert John Wiley added.",
"The Iranian newspaper Hamshahri reported that Plane was flying from Tehran and was headed to Yerevan, Armenia.",
"The semi-official Mehr news agency listed the names of 153 passengers and 15 crew members.",

"That would have put the flight in one of the safest stages of travel, according to International Air Transport Association data.",
"Only about 5 percent of accidents take place during the phase called en-route climb, 16 to 20 minutes into a flight, when a plane climbs to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet.",
"About half of accidents take place during landing.",
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's condolences to the victims' families, as did the European Union.",
"Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sent Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's sympathies to the presidents of Iran and Armenia, the Kremlin said.",

"Asked about plans to practice before the 2009 All-Star Game, President Obama said Tuesday, \"I want to loosen up my arm a little bit.\"",
"\"The last time I threw a pitch was at the American League championship series, and I just wanted to keep a pitch high,\" President Obama said of President Obama's opening pitch at the 2005 Chicago White Sox-Anaheim Angels game.",
"Aiming high is a good strategy, says St. Louis Cardinals scout Matt Blood, but it takes more than on-point aim to make the perfect pitch.",

"Now, they look self-serving and greedy with foresight.",
"Goldman set aside $11.4 billion for employee compensation and benefits, up 33 percent from last year.",
"That's enough to pay each employee more than $390,000, just for the first six months of this year.",
"In June, Goldman bought back Goldman's preferred shares, repaying $10 billion Goldman received from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, and setting it free of limits on executive compensation and dividends.",
"But pay is not the key issue.",
"U.S. taxpayers deserve a large cut of the profits, not the chump change -- less than a half-billion dollars -- U.S. taxpayers got from preferred shares in Goldman and the relatively small amount U.S. taxpayers could get from warrants in Goldman's stock.",
"U.S. taxpayers should insist that a large part of Goldman's revenues and profits belong to the American public.",
"TARP money was just part of a series of bailouts and concessions that allowed Goldman to prosper at the expense of a flawed regulatory system.",
"In March 2008, Goldman, a primary dealer in Treasury securities, was among the beneficiaries of a massive backdoor bailout by the Federal Reserve Bank.",
"At the time, Henry Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, was treasury secretary.",
"In an unprecedented move, the Fed created a Term Securities Lending Facility, or TSLF, that allowed primary dealers like Goldman to give non-government-guaranteed \"triple-A\" rated assets to the Fed in exchange for loans.",
"The trouble was that everyone knew the triple-A assets were not the safe securities the triple-A assets were advertised to be.",
"Many were backed by mortgage loans that were failing at super speed.",
"The bailout of American International Group, or AIG, ballooned from $85 billion in September 2008 to that money.",
"Of that money, $90 billion was funneled as collateral payments to banks that traded with AIG.",
"American taxpayers may never see a dime of American taxpayers's bailout money again, but Goldman saw plenty.",
"Goldman may be the largest indirect beneficiary of AIG's bailout, receiving $12.9 billion in collateral, including securities lending transactions, from AIG after the government bailed out AIG.",
"The key question is whether Goldman asked AIG to insure products that were as dodgy as the doomed deal from Goldman Sachs Alternative Mortgage Products exposed by Fortune's Allan Sloan in Fortune's Allan Sloan's October 16, 2007, Loeb Award-winning article: \"Junk Mortgages Under the Microscope.\"",
"If the government had not intervened and if AIG had gone into bankruptcy, Goldman probably would not have received its $12.9 billion from AIG.",
"U.S. taxpayers and the American economy are owed some of the bailout money passed directly through AIG to Goldman.",
"Wall Street firms also reaped trading windfalls when AIG needed to close out AIG's derivative transactions.",
"This was the most lucrative windfall business in the history of the derivatives markets.",
"When AIG left money on the table, it was U.S. taxpayer money.",
"Goldman was granted bank holding company status in the fall of 2008.",
"Goldman already had the temporary ability to borrow from the Fed through the TSLF, which would have expired in January 2009.",
"Now Goldman has permanent access to lending from the Fed.",
"Goldman can now compete with the largest U.S. banks and borrow money at interest rates pushed as close to zero as possible by the Fed.",
"Goldman gets a further benefit: favorable accounting rule changes.",
"In addition, Goldman issued $30 billion of debt with a valuable government guarantee that remains outstanding.",
"Meanwhile, the American public faces a rising unemployment rate, falling housing prices, rising unemployment, higher local taxes and a dismal economic outlook.",
"Interested men with reputations and fortunes at stake rode roughshod over public interest.",
"the American public is owed part of the profits Goldman was able to make because of the largesse of our Congress.",
"Wall Street's \"financial meth labs,\" including Goldman's, massively pumped out bad bonds and credit derivatives that have melted down savings accounts, pension funds, the municipal bond market and the American economy.",
"Risky assets, leverage and fraud led to acute distress in the global financial markets.",
"The biggest crime on the American economy may go unpunished with no consequences to the perpetrators.",
"The biggest crime on the American economy was not predatory lending, but predatory securitizations, packages of loans that did not deserve the ratings or prices at the time they were sold.",
"They ballooned what should have been a relatively small problem into a global crisis.",
"Wall Street owes the American public for Wall Street's key role in bringing the global economy -- and in particular, the U.S. economy -- to the U.S. economy's knees.",
"Goldman is not alone in owing the American public.",
"It is not the worst of all of the Wall Street firms.",
"But among all of Wall Street's offenders, it is the most well-connected, and Goldman was the firm that cleaned up the most as the result of government bailouts.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Janet Tavakoli."

"Millions of Americans have always gone without the kind of routine medical care that is seen as a basic right in many countries.",
"The U.S. economic downturn -- meaning people lose health insurance when people lose people's job -- and the election of Obama have coincided to increase both the need and the opportunity to address the plight of uninsured America.",
"Obama's ambition is to provide insurance for the estimated 50 million Americans without coverage.",

"insurance for the estimated 50 million Americans is expected to cover doctors, hospital care and prescription drugs.",

"Fully one-sixth of the economy is devoted to it.",
"Under the current hybrid system, the United States pays for health care for ex-military, the extremely poor and the elderly.",
"But the vast majority of Americans have to pay for the vast majority of Americans's own health care and most do it where they work; many employers arrange health insurance and partly subsidize the premiums.",
"The rapidly rising cost is crushing all kinds of businesses, from car companies to family farms.",
"At the same time, hospitals and doctors say hospitals and doctors are falling behind because the payments hospitals and doctors receive from insurance companies aren't keeping up with hospitals and doctors's costs.",
"\"Within a decade the United States will be spending one out of every five dollars the United States earn on health care,\" Obama said recently.",

"The most profound disagreement centers on whether the United States should create the United States's own new health-insurance concern to compete with the private companies that provide insurance now.",
"Obama and many Democrats favor it; Republicans are dead set against it.",
"Part of the problem is that insurance companies fear the United States will put insurance companies out of business, by favoring or subsidizing the United States's own scheme.",
"The other part of the problem is more basic and ideological.",
"the United States already runs enormous health-insurance programs for the poor, the elderly and military veterans -- but many Americans see potentially mandatory government health-insurance as the foreign-born offspring of socialist states.",
"The economics: More debt .",
"Political opposition notwithstanding, The economics are going to be a problem too.",
"Health care is a $2 trillion-dollar-a-year industry that would have to expand to cover millions of people who are now uninsured.",

"One assessment by the Congressional Budget Office of the president's plan estimated the president's plan would cost more than $1 trillion over 10 years and only provide coverage for about 16 million Americans.",
"There's also the possibility that the impact of reform on many employers and virtually every wage-earner across the country will have a spillover effect on the economy as a whole, still lodged in recession.",
"The health care industry: Undecided .",
"Then there is the place where the politics and the economy overlap: the health care industry.",
"Doctors alone have spent roughly two-thirds of a billion dollars lobbying lawmakers in the last 10 years, according to the independent Center for Responsive Politics.",
"Add pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, nurses and other health care professionals and you get one of the most influential forces in U.S. politics.",

"The industry benefits from one crucial thing: Americans like Americans's doctors.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released July 1 found 54 percent of people worry that 54 percent of people's health care costs would go up if the administration's proposals get passed and only one in five thinks that his or her families would be better off under the Obama plan.",
"With all that in mind, Doctor James Braude says Doctor James Braude's optimistic the reform can succeed.",

"You might think the Senate just couldn't stomach elevating to Supreme Court a man with the name Ebenezer Hoar, but it seems the senators were offended by something other than aesthetics.",
"As President Ulysses S. Grant's attorney general, Hoar had insisted on rewarding merit rather than political loyalty, thus blocking a well-trod route for patronage.",

"Srinivasan said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received 40 reports of patients around the country developing high fevers and muscle aches after being injected with this specific product.",
"\"All of the cases had high fevers, some muscle aches, headaches, but no issues with heart problems that we were told of,\" Srinivasan said.",
"Michael Jackson's died June 25 of cardiac arrest.",
"The exact cause of death is pending toxicology results.",
"All of the people who had taken propofol recovered; only one was hospitalized and that patient was quickly discharged, Srinivasan said.",
"But, Srinivasan added, \"at high doses, endotoxin can absolutely cause lowered blood pressure and much more serious reactions.\"",
"\"It can cause decreases in blood pressure, which could precipitate problems with your heart.\"",

"\"We don't know what was at Michael Jackson's's house, but I'm guessing it was Diprivan because that's what the reporting has been,\" Karen Riley said.",
"\"This [the propofol recall] was endotoxin in this specific product.",

"(CNN) --",
"Bush told a global climate change conference Friday that U.S. will do U.S.'s part to improve the environment by taking on greenhouse gas emissions.",
"Bush Friday tells a global climate change conference \"we take this issue seriously.\"",
"\"We take this issue seriously,\" Bush said at the Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change, which the White House sponsored.",
"In Bush's address, Bush called on \"all the world's largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions, including developed and developing nations,\" to come together and \"set a long-term goal for reducing\" greenhouse emissions.",
"\"By setting a long-term goal for reducing\" greenhouse emissions, U.S. acknowledge there is a problem, and by setting a long-term goal for reducing\" greenhouse emissions, U.S. commit U.S. to doing something about it,\" Bush said.",
"Watch Bush address a global climate change conference » .",
"\"By next summer, U.S. will convene a meeting of heads of state to finalize the goal and other elements of this approach, including a strong and transparent system for measuring U.S.'s progress toward meeting the goal U.S. set.",
"Only by doing the necessary work this year will it be possible to reach a global consensus at the U.N. in 2009.\"",
"Bush said it will be up to each nation to \"design its own separate strategies for making progress toward achieving this long-term goal.\"",
"Bush said new technology, such as clean coal technology and biofuels, could help reduce greenhouse gases.",
"Bush also called for more use of nuclear, wind and solar power.",
"\"It was said that we faced a choice between protecting the environment and producing enough energy.",
"Today we know better,\" Bush said.",
"\"These challenges share a common solution: technology.\"",
"\"U.S. must lead the world to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and U.S. must do it in a way that does not undermine economic growth or prevent nations from delivering greater prosperity for their people,\" Bush said.",
"\"We know this can be done,\" Bush said.",
"\"Last year, U.S. grew U.S.'s economy while also reducing greenhouse gases.\"",
"If the preliminary numbers stand, it would make 2006 the first time in Bush's presidency that greenhouse emissions dropped.",
"In prepared remarks this week, Assistant Secretary of Energy Karen Harbert said, \"Preliminary data for 2006 suggests an absolute reduction in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions of 1.3 percent for that year despite economic growth of 2.9 percent.\"",
"In previous years, the administration also has said the administration's policies were reducing greenhouse emissions, but Department of Energy figures through 2005 show emission figures went up each year.",
"the administration also said during those years the administration was reducing \"greenhouse emissions intensity,\" a term referring to the ratio between emissions and the size of the economy.",
"the administration said our economy was growing at a faster rate than the emissions themselves.",
"While the White House has taken heat for the White House's environmental policies -- including from some Republicans such as Sen. John McCain -- Bush said at the conference Friday, \"By working together, U.S. will set wise and effective policies.\"",
"He added, \"I want to get the job done.",
"U.S. have identified a problem -- letU.S. go solve a problem together.\"",
"Other nations have been critical of the Bush administration's policy on climate change after the United States withdrew from the 1997 U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, known as the Kyoto Protocol.",
"That protocol, which was signed by more than 150 countries, called on industrialized nations to cut greenhouse emissions in absolute terms.",
"That protocol, which was signed by more than 150 countries, did not make that demand of developing nations.",
"That protocol, which was signed by more than 150 countries, expires in 2012.",
"Representatives of 16 countries, the United Nations and the European Union are attending this week's two-day conference.",
"The Bush administration has billed it as an initiative to develop a common approach to combat global warming following Kyoto's collapse.",
"At a Group of Eight conference in June, Bush pushed for a new framework on global gas emissions to counter the effects of global warming.",
"Bush said Bush believes every nation should set every nation's own goals.",
"Bush expressed concern that setting strict targets would damage the U.S. economy.",
"Instead, Bush said, industries should enact voluntary measures.",
"On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also told delegates to the global climate change conference that countries around the world must work together to combat climate change, much as countries around the world cooperate against terror and the spread of disease.",
"\"No one nation, no matter how much power or political will it possesses, can succeed alone,\" U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said.",
"\"We all need partners, and we all need to work in concert.\"",
"U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said U.S. takes climate change seriously, \"for U.S. are both a major economy and a major emitter.\"",
"In U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's address to the Major Economies Meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said an integrated response, including \"environmental stewardship, economic growth, energy supply and security and development and the development and deployment of new clean energy technology,\" is the key to moving forward on the issue.",

"The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to give the Treasury Department the power to ban future \"unreasonable and excessive\" compensation at companies receiving federal bailout money.",
"Bill would give Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner greater say on executive compensation.",
"The Pay for Performance Act of 2009, which passed by a vote of 247-171, would empower Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to define what constitutes reasonable compensation, as well as to ban bonuses not based on performance standards.",
"Geithner's guidelines would apply to companies receiving assistance from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.",
"Democrats provided heavy support for Bill, with only eight from that party voting against Bill.",
"Republicans, who are in the minority in The House of Representatives, were mostly opposed, with only 10 crossing party lines to support it.",

"(WIRED) --",
"In less than a week, Google announced an operating system to compete with Windows, while Microsoft announced that Office 10 will include free, online versions of Microsoft's four most popular software programs -- a shot at Google's suite of web-based office applications.",
"The fight between Microsoft and Google is over who'll be seen as the world's most important tech company.",
"And not more than a month and a half ago, Microsoft unveiled Microsoft's new search engine Bing, which Microsoft hopes will steal market share from Google and finally make it real money online.",
"From the news of it, it's a full-blown tech battle, complete with behind-the-scenes machinations to sic government regulators on each other.",
"It is, however, not a death match -- it's more of an fight to see who will be the King of Technology, since both companies pull in both companies's billions through completely different siphons and are unlikely to severely wound one another any time soon.",
"Google pulled in $22 billion in revenue in 2008, 97 percent of which came tiny text ads bought by the keyword and placed next to search results or on pages around the web.",
"Google makes a negligible amount of money bundling Google's online apps for businesses, charging $50 a head annually -- but mostly Google just gives Google's online text editor, email and spreadsheet programs away.",
"By contrast, Microsoft sold $14.3 billion worth of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint and other business applications over the last nine months, making a profit of $9.3 billion.",
"Microsoft made a further $16 billion in revenue in 2008 through sales of Microsoft's operating systems, which range from XP installations on netbooks, to Vista, to Windows Mobile to its server software.",
"Google now plans Google's own range of operating systems, starting with Android, an open-source OS for small devices like smartphones, and Chrome OS, a browser-focused, open-source OS that will run on notebooks and desktops.",
"Clearly top executives at each company look over at the others' pots of gold and dream of ways to steal them, or at least make it harder for the other guy to make money.",
"In fact, they even dislike each other enough to spend money to make the other one lose revenue -- take for example, Microsoft's behind-the-scenes campaign to scuttle last year's proposed Google-Yahoo advertising deal or its ongoing attempts to derail the Google Book Search settlement.",
"But in reality, Google is really about creating universes or ecosystems that Google hopes consumers will want to live consumers's technology lives inside.",
"And it's about ego -- a fight to be recognized as the world's most important technology company.",
"Microsoft would love for everyone in the world to be using Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to search through Bing to find a story from Microsoft's MSN portal to email via Hotmail or Outlook to a friend.",
"Add in a smartphone running Windows Mobile and an Xbox in the living room for the kids, and you have a Microsoft family.",
"And though it is much joked about, Microsoft is the dominant platform for software developers of all types, whether they are making small business software, massive online role-playing games or photo-editing utilities.",
"Google's ecosystem looks different.",
"Google's ecosystem starts with a Google Chrome browser (oddly running only on Windows) with a default homepage set to Google News or a customized Google homepage.",
"From there you might go to Gmail and then click on a Word document sent to you as an attachment which Google will quickly -- and safely -- open for you in Google's online word processor.",
"But most importantly, Google wants you to search and travel around the web, hitting web pages that run Google-served ads and Google tracking cookies.",
"You might think that Google is a really cool company to give away all this free technology, while never thinking about the persistent and silent data collection Google is undertaking to profile you in order to deliver you to advertisers for a premium.",
"So how do the two stack up in four key areas of competition?",
"Browsers: Internet Explorer in all its variations still retains close to 70 percent of the market (depending on who is counting and how).",
"That dominance remains, even though Microsoft's latest offering IE8 lags behind all the other major browsers in features and advanced web capabilities.",
"Firefox, Opera, and Apple's Safari have all driven browser innovation over the last five years, but most people have not been convinced to leave IE behind, despite other alternatives being safer and more advanced.",
"Why does it matter?",
"Well, IE installations come with a default home page, don't IE installations?",
"Google's Chrome browser, on the other hand, is a handsome, whiz-kid of a browser.",
"It's sleek and nimble, and it revolutionizes how tabs are handled.",
"The address bar is the search box (Google as default, naturally).",
"Each website opened runs as Each website's own browser instance and has very low permissions to read and write to files.",
"The sandboxing of tabs means that if a single website hangs or crashes, the rest are unaffected.",
"Meanwhile, lower permissions make it harder for a hacker to bust into your computer through your browser.",
"Chrome also has less than 2 percent of the browser market share.",
"Online Search:",
"Google's name now means search to most users.",
"Google's search engine means money to Google.",
"In June, Google delivered 78.5 percent of search results pages delivered to U.S. web users.",
"In the first three months of 2009, Google pulled in $5.2 billion in revenue, a majority of which came from AdWords, an auction-based service that triggers ads based on the keywords in a search query.",
"Microsoft recently debuted Bing, a new search engine Microsoft hoped would fare well in comparison to Google.",
"It's got some fine innovations, and shows Microsoft is thinking very hard about better ways to present information to users by finding ways to synthesize data, rather than just retrieving links.",
"Still, despite these improvements, a $100 million ad campaign, and generous press coverage that treats Bing like an underdog, Bing gained only a point in June to get Microsoft 8.2 percent of all searches.",
"Operating Systems:",
"Microsoft has been making operating systems since 1979 and has spent 28 years perfecting MS-DOS and Windows NT, the frameworks that Windows have been built around.",
"Microsoft is estimated to run on about 90 percent of all laptops and desktops in the world.",
"By copying Microsoft's competitors' best features, leveraging questionable licensing arrangements and using Microsoft's base of accustomed users to buy Microsoft time against innovators, Microsoft has held on to Microsoft's lead in the OS market for almost 30 years.",
"That's despite challenges from Digital Research, Apple and IBM.",
"Microsoft's newest version, Windows 7, will be available in the fall.",
"Early reviews say the OS boots quickly and sleeps fast, and avoids much of the confusing interface decisions that have made many dislike Vista, the successor to Windows XP.",
"Microsoft also dominates in the business world, where nearly every medium to large company standardizes around Microsoft Office.",
"Microsoft is also at work on version 6 of Microsoft's operating system for handheld devices, which Microsoft first launched in 2000.",
"Microsoft's OS advantages are immense.",
"Microsoft has millions of users who know nothing else and who like Windows.",
"There are millions who are attached to games or the thousands of desktop apps that are only available on Windows.",
"Thousands of devices just plug in and work on Microsoft's hardware.",
"And familiarity with Microsoft software is a requirement for a huge number of office jobs.",
"By contrast, Google first stepped into the OS game in 2007 when Google announced Google's Android operating system for small devices.",
"Google estimates that some 18 phone models will be running Google's system by the end of the year.",
"Last week, Google announced, but did not show off, a new OS to compete with Windows, dubbing OS Chrome OS.",
"That name signifies that Google's OS will be for the web and browser-based.",
"Google hopes to convince developers to write software that runs inside a browser, instead of on top of OS as developers for Windows and Apples' OS X do.",
"OS will also let web developers extend the power of web developers's websites by expanding the capabilities of the browser, allowing websites to lean on the browser for storage and processing help.",
"Advertising:",
"Google is largely powered by Google's innovative auction-based text ads on Google's own site, but then expanded into serving ads on other people's sites with the Adsense program.",
"Google bought the ad-serving and behavioral-profiling giant Doubleclick in 2007 for more than $3 billion, and has ventured into mobile, print, radio and television ads.",
"Microsoft has struggled to replicate Google's online advertising success.",
"Despite owning MSN.com -- a portal that is second only to Yahoo as a destination -- Microsoft has not made money on the internet.",
"To turbocharge Microsoft's ad-delivery technology, Microsoft paid more than $6 billion in cash in 2007 for aQuantive, a full-service online advertising concern.",
"Instead, Microsoft's online ad business lost $1.2 billion in 2008, double what Microsoft's online ad business lost in 2007.",
"Microsoft expects 2009 revenues to be higher than the $3.2 billion it took in last year, but has not said Microsoft would make a profit.",
"Contrary to what some might have you believe, the benefits of the Google-Microsoft competition are immense.",
"Microsoft had largely grown complacent until Google came along to shake up categories.",
"Gmail's massive online storage capability and fancy programming made Microsoft hustle to upgrade Microsoft's popular, though not user-friendly, web e-mail service.",
"Google Maps led to Microsoft's Live Maps, which now bests Google's efforts in some ways.",
"Google has been winning the fight for the last few years, showing that Google is still nimbler than the software giant from the Northwest.",
"But the pendulum may be slowing, or even poised to swing the other way.",
"With the innovations in Bing and the promise that Microsoft's online Office offerings will be free and more fully featured than the Google equivalent, Microsoft is taking on Google where it matters for users: on the field of innovation.",
"And that will make for an interesting race, no matter which horse you prefer to ride.",

"Editor's Note: This is the third in a five-part series exploring Judge Sonia Sotomayor's background and life with those who know Sonia Sotomayor, and revealing the experiences that might shape Sonia Sotomayor's views as a Supreme Court justice if confirmed.",
"Sonia Sotomayor won the Moses Taylor Pyne Prize, the highest honor given to an undergraduate at Princeton.",
"PRINCETON, New Jersey (CNN) --",
"Sonia Sotomayor spent Sonia Sotomayor's first week at Princeton obsessing over the sound of a cricket.",
"Growing up in New York City, Sonia Sotomayor's only notion of this insect was Jiminy from \"Pinocchio.\"",
"Sonia Sotomayor tore Sonia Sotomayor's dorm room apart looking for the critter every night.",
"Finally, Sonia Sotomayor's then-boyfriend and future husband visited and explained that a cricket was outside the room, where Sonia Sotomayor had been holed up most of that week in 1972.",
"\"This was all new to me: we didn't have trees brushing up against windows in the South Bronx,\" Sonia Sotomayor recalled in a speech to the Princeton Women's Network in 2002.",
"The freshman who was so taken aback by a cricket's chirping now has a more public challenge: Senate hearings on whether to confirm Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court justice, potentially the first Latina to hold such a post.",
"At one time, being different may have been difficult -- for it wasn't just Princeton's crickets that startled Sonia Sotomayor.",
"The academics and the students on the leafy Gothic campus, with Gothic's ivy-covered dormitories and castle-like towers, also made Sonia Sotomayor feel out of place.",
"Sotomayor, who was on a full scholarship, started \"a little more on the shy side,\" said Sergio Sotolongo, who attended high school and Princeton with Sonia Sotomayor.",
"\"Sonia Sotomayor did mention that, as a freshman, Sonia Sotomayor felt sometimes intimidated by others and didn't really raise Sonia Sotomayor's hand very much,\" said Sotolongo, now chairman and CEO of Student Funding Group in Liberty Corner, New Jersey.",
"Watch classmates, professor remember Sotomayor » .",
"As a first-year student, Sonia Sotomayor felt what Sonia Sotomayor's called a \"chasm\" between Sonia Sotomayor and Sonia Sotomayor's classmates.",
"Sonia Sotomayor really only knew the Bronx and Puerto Rico, while Sonia Sotomayor's classmates spoke of European vacations and skiing.",
"Sonia Sotomayor said in 1990 that Sonia Sotomayor felt Sonia Sotomayor was a \"product of affirmative action\" and questioned whether Sonia Sotomayor would have been accepted into the Ivy League using \"traditional numbers\" from test scores alone.",
"See how many of the Supreme Court justices went to Ivy League schools » .",
"Sonia Sotomayor would certainly have looked different to Sonia Sotomayor's classmates, with relatively few Latinos or minorities at Princeton during Sonia Sotomayor's college years.",
"Even being a woman was different for Sonia Sotomayor's class -- Princeton had opened Princeton's doors to women three years earlier, but male students were still superior in numbers and (in some cases) attitudes.",
"Judith Perlman, who lived down the hall, explained: \"I'd go to class and I would say things, and the professor would say, 'Oh, Princeton usually express Princeton in a more gentlemanly fashion here.'\"",
"Perlman and Sonia Sotomayor shared \"girl talk\" but about what they wanted to do with their lives, not about things like fashion, which interested neither.",
"Academically, Sonia Sotomayor also faced a gap.",
"Sonia Sotomayor would later graduate summa cum laude and be awarded the top undergraduate honor, the Moses Taylor Pyne Prize, but Sonia Sotomayor stumbled that first year.",

"It's been eight years since Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint first hopped on the Hogwarts Express, and the three have done little else since.",
"Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have kept each other \"level-headed,\" said Daniel Radcliffe.",
"Now that the ride will soon come to an end, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint is trying to fathom a life without the Harry Potter films -- an understandable difficulty, considering that Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint've grown up along with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint's characters.",
"The other item showing its age is the storyline of the sixth installment, \"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.\"",
"Part humor and part horror with a healthy dose of hormones",
", \"Half-Blood Prince\" is clearly more attuned for an audience who, like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, are no longer in grade school.",
"\"On the one hand, we have all this light romance and snogging, and on the other hand, people are getting killed, and bridges are being blown up,\" director David Yates said.",
"Potter 101: A guide to Harry Potter » .",
"Heavy stuff, certainly, but it's a challenge on par with the stars' blossoming careers.",
"Hear, see and read how the characters have grown » .",
"One can only imagine that by now, the Harry Potter series feels like home to Daniel Radcliffe, who landed the title role at 11 after playing supporting roles in the BBC's \"David Copperfield\" and the 2001 film \"The Tailor of Panama.\"",
"\"[Without it], to be honest, I don't know what I would've done,\" said Radcliffe, who turns 20 on July 23.",
"\"I had 'Copperfield,' but at that point I wasn't even dreaming about [acting] being a career then.\"",
"Since then, Daniel Radcliffe has grown into international stardom, reportedly earning $25 million per Potter film.",
"Indeed, Daniel Radcliffe has gotten raves away from the movie theater: In London and on Broadway, Daniel Radcliffe took on the role of Alan Strang, the mentally disturbed stable boy in Peter Shaffer's \"Equus,\" which required Daniel Radcliffe to strip naked in the play's final scene.",
"Daniel Radcliffe has also taken on roles in \"December Boys\" and the TV movie \"My Boy Jack,\" and Daniel Radcliffe is eager to keep at it long after the Potter series wraps.",
"So what about directing, then?",
"Only time will tell, Daniel Radcliffe said.",
"\"For now, I want to keep acting,\" Daniel Radcliffe said.",
"\"I don't think I know enough about the technical sides yet to even consider directing.",
"It would be something that I'm interested in, but it would be a long, long way off.\"",
"As for Emma Watson, when Emma Watson's not occupied with filming, Emma Watson can be found in the pages of fashion magazines -- including the advertisements.",

"Going from tween wizard to fashion icon is quite a leap, but it's one that appears to fit Emma Watson well; how many other Hogwarts students can count Karl Lagerfeld among their friends?",
"Like Emma Watson's co-star Rupert Grint (Ron), Emma Watson didn't have any acting experience when Emma Watson auditioned for \"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\" at age 9.",
"Emma Watson managed to beat out thousands of other girls for the role of Hermione, a part Emma Watson's said was \"life or death\" for Emma Watson.",
"Now that the series is close to the series's end, Emma Watson is eager to try new things.",
"\"I would've told Emma Watson not to take it so seriously and to try to have as much fun as you can,\" Emma Watson said Emma Watson would've advised Emma Watson's younger self.",

"\"I don't know what I'm going to be doing, really,\" the actor told the Los Angeles Times.",
"\"I'm going to miss it, I think, because I've been doing this my whole life.\"",
"Despite Grint's start as an unknown -- Grint reportedly submitted hip-hop lyrics describing Grint's character to snag the part of Ron Weasley -- Grint's arguably been the most adventurous of Grint's co-stars, having played opposite Paul Giamatti in the 2002 family comedy \"Thunderpants\" and starring in 2009's sexually charged thriller \"Cherrybomb.\"",

"And, Daniel Radcliffe said, they've helped each other cope with fame over the years.",
"Daniel Radcliffe said that on the red carpet, \"[the fans are] cheering for a kind of person they see in newspapers and in interviews and in films, and that's a different person to you.",
"You have to keep that -- that persona -- and the person you actually are as separate as you possibly can, and then you will avoid becoming arrogant.\"",
"Which is why it helps to have two people who know you well, on set and off.",
"\"I think we've all kept each other pretty level-headed over the years,\" Daniel Radcliffe said.",

"Brig. Gen. Hani Abdel-Latif said 50 to 60 protesters gathered in Cairo's Manshiyet Naser slum because 50 to 60 protesters were upset with the health ministry's decision to slaughter all pigs in Egypt.",
"But local media reported the number of farmers clashing with police on Sunday was in the hundreds.",
"Experts have criticized Egypt's move, announced last week, to slaughter all pigs in the country regardless of whether all pigs in the country are infected.",
"There have been no confirmed cases of the virus in Egypt.",
"And according to the U.S.-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, humans cannot get the swine flu virus, known to scientists as the H1N1 virus, by eating pork.",
"The CDC says human infection from pigs most likely occurs when people are in close proximity to sick animals, such as in pig barns.",
"But Egyptian officials cite how avian flu still exists in Egypt because, Egyptian officials say, Egypt did not take sufficient protective measures when that disease was first discovered there in 2006.",
"Most Egyptian pig farmers are Coptic Christians, a group that makes up about 10 percent of the 80 million people in Egypt.",
"The farmers do not observe the Muslim ban on eating pork, and historically The farmers have coexisted peacefully with the Muslim majority in Egypt.",
"The farmers also work in the garbage industry and use The farmers's daily collections to feed The farmers's herds, which number about 300,000 animals in Egypt.",
"With the government-mandated slaughter under way, Egypt's Health Ministry declared Saturday that \"Egypt is free of the swine flu.\"",
"Dr. Hamid Samaha, head of Egypt's Public Institute for Veterinary Services, said that starting Sunday Egypt will compensate pig farmers by paying as much as $45 for a disease-free pig and about $5 for diseased ones.",
"Egypt's Health Ministry told CNN Egypt's Health Ministry's workers are freezing all the disease-free meat and plan to give it back to its owners once the ban on pigs is lifted.",
"But according to Egypt's state-run al-Akhbar newspaper, ministry sources said Egypt does not have enough facilities to store the frozen meat.",
"Ministry spokesman Dr. Abdel-Rahman Shaheen said Egypt will open two new slaughterhouses in two provinces near Cairo, al-Alioubiya and al-Giza.",
"Ministry spokesman Dr. Abdel-Rahman Shaheen also announced Saturday that Egypt's Health Ministry has enlisted 100 additional doctors and nurses to help in health quarantines at Cairo Airport, where travelers are being questioned if travelers have been to Mexico recently.",
"And more are expected to be hired to help at Alexandra's main seaport, where the government declared a state of emergency last week.",
"CNN's Housam Ahmed in Cairo contributed to this report."

"The news that one of America's TV icons is suffering from cancer brought sadness.",
"Learning the type of cancer Farrah Fawcett had made some squeamish.",
"Farrah Fawcett, shown here in 2004, learned Farrah Fawcett had cancer in 2006.",
"Former \"Charlie's Angels\" actress Farrah Fawcett, 62, was hospitalized this week.",
"Farrah Fawcett received a diagnosis of anal cancer in 2006.",
"This type of cancer is less common than rectal and colon cancer, and the location of the tumor and risk factors make people squeamish about discussing it openly, doctors said.",
"Colon cancer at one time also was not openly talked about, because of the body part and functions affected, but with the public awareness campaigns and celebrities advocating for screenings, it has been largely destigmatized.",
"Anal cancer is less familiar.",
"Farrah Fawcett has not publicly confirmed the specifics of Farrah Fawcett's illness, but is working on a documentary, titled \"A Wing and a Prayer,\" about Farrah Fawcett's health battle.",
"Anal cancer affects more women and her illness is usually found in people who are in their early 60's.",
"The American Cancer Society estimates that 5,000 new cases of anal cancer are diagnosed each year and about 680 people die from anal cancer annually.",
"Meanwhile, colorectal cancer has 148,000 new cases and about 50,000 deaths each year.",
"The numbers of anal cancer cases are rising, although experts haven't been able to pinpoint why.",
"Cultural squeamishness about certain body areas could prevent early diagnosis and treatment of anal cancer, said Dr. Petr F. Hausner, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.",
"\"Patients in the United States hate to be examined in certain body areas,\" said Hausner, who trained in Czechoslovakia.",
"\"They like to keep their private parts more private than in Europe.",
"In the U.S., the patients hate those exams and physicians hate to do them.",
"The examination is incomplete.\"",
"The cultural discomfort might be a minor factor, though.",
"\"The bigger role is the virus,\" Hausner said referring to the human papilloma virus, a key risk factor for anal cancer that also can cause cervical cancer.",
"Getting vaccinated against HPV is a step in prevention, Hausner said.",
"More than half of anal cancer patients experience bleeding as a symptom.",
"Others have no symptoms or report common conditions, such as hemorrhoids, fissures, or warts.",
"Symptoms also include itching or pain in that area, changes in the diameter of stool, abnormal discharge, swollen lymph nodes in the anal or groin areas, according to the American Cancer Society.",

"Patients should consult with Patients's physicians, Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said.",
"Anal pap smears are routine only for HIV-positive patients, who are at higher risk for this cancer.",
"There are no anal cancer screening recommendations for non-HIV individuals, because it remains a rare disease, Hausner said.",
"People whose immune system are suppressed, from HIV or drugs taken after organ transplants are at risk for anal cancer.",
"Other risk factors include a sexual history with many partners, a medical history of human papilloma virus (HPV), sexually transmitted diseases or gynecological cancers.",
"People tend to view anal cancer negatively, because People associate the cancer with a few of the cancer's risk factors -- such as sexually transmitted diseases or anal sex, Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said.",
"\"It's one of the risk factors, not the only risk factor,\" Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said.",
"\"It's fair to say people are stigmatized, Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said, primarily because of the disease's association with that type of sex.",
"When the cancer is caught early, chemotherapy and radiation are highly effective.",
"But if the cancer doesn't respond to treatment and spreads to other areas of the body, the five-year survival rate plummets to 20 percent, Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said.",
"\"Anal cancer is unique,\" Dr. Cathy Eng, associate professor in the department of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center said.",
"\"The majority of time you can cure the patient, but if you have recurrent or residual disease, you could end up losing your sphincter.\"",
"your sphincter are muscles that holds in urine and feces.",
"If your sphincter is removed, the patient must have a special bag, called an ostomy pouch, that collects the waste.",
"Anal cancer is \"much rarer than colon cancer,\" Hausner said.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Sotomayor strongly asserted Sotomayor's adherence to the law while dodging questions about Sotomayor's personal beliefs on the third day of Sotomayor's Supreme Court confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.",
"Sotomayor answers questions from senators on Wednesday, the third day of Sotomayor's confirmation hearings.",
"Asked repeatedly Wednesday by Republicans about Sotomayor's controversial statement that a \"wise Latina\" could reach a better decision than a white man, Sotomayor called it a poorly expressed but valid point about the value of differing perspectives in applying the law.",
"Senators from both parties pressed Sotomayor on Sotomayor's personal views on issues such as abortion, gun control and executive powers.",
"But Sotomayor consistently answered Sotomayor needed to know the specifics of a particular case, such as applicable state statutes and other facts.",
"Sensing frustration over Sotomayor's responses, the federal appellate judge offered an explanation about how judges approach the law.",
"\"What we do is different than the conversations citizens have about what citizens want the law to do,\" Sotomayor said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, who sought Sotomayor's views on the legality of some kinds of abortions and whether there was a fundamental right to possess firearms and self-defense.",
"Judges look at the facts of a case and apply the law based on those facts, Sotomayor said.",
"\"It's not that we make a broad policy choice and say this is what we want,\" Sotomayor continued.",
"Watch Face Off: Should Sotomayor be confirmed? » .",
"Sotomayor's performance rankled Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the former Republican committee chairman who changed parties last April.",
"Specter repeatedly cut off Sotomayor's responses Wednesday, saying Sotomayor was not answering Specter's questions.",
"Later, in praising Sotomayor's record as a judge, Specter said: \"I'm not commenting about your answers, but your record is exemplary.\"",
"\"You'll be judged on your record more than your answers,\" he said.",
"If approved by the committee and confirmed by the full Senate, Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice, the third female justice and the 111th person to sit on the nation's highest court.",
"Watch Sotomayor being questioned » .",
"Sotomayor's dispassionate answers on a range of issues displayed a command of legal concepts that impressed even Sotomayor's harshest interrogators.",
"Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, appeared to rule out a filibuster attempt against the nomination by his minority party, telling Sotomayor that \"you will get that up-or-down vote on the Senate floor.\" Watch Cornyn quiz Sotomayor on abortion » .",
"Democrats predicted Sotomayor would be confirmed with support from members of both parties.",
"Cornyn and other Republicans raised the \"wise Latina\" statement for a second straight day, asking whether it meant Sotomayor had a gender, ethnic or racial bias.",
"Sotomayor said the remark Sotomayor made in several speeches was never intended to mean that one gender, ethnic or racial group was better than another.",
"\"It is clear from the attention that my words have gotten and the manner in which it has been understood by some people that my words failed,\" Sotomayor said.",
"\"They didn't work.\"",
"iReport.com:",
"Share your thoughts on the Sotomayor hearings .",
"However, Sotomayor defended the point Sotomayor was trying to make, and said other Supreme Court justices including Sandra Day O'Connor and Samuel Alito had expressed similar thoughts.",
"\"The message that the entire speech attempted to deliver, however, remains the message that I think Justice O'Connor meant, the message that higher nominees, including Justice Alito, meant when Justice O'Connor said that Justice O'Connor considers Justice O'Connor's Italian ancestry when deciding discrimination cases,\" said Sotomayor.",
"See how Sotomayor compares with justices on the court » .",
"O'Connor, the first woman Supreme Court justice, had said she believed a wise female judge and a wise male judge could reach the same conclusion.",
"\"I don't think Justice O'Connor meant that personal experiences compel results in any way,\" Sotomayor said.",
"\"I think life experiences generally, whether it's that I'm a Latina or was a state prosecutor or have been a commercial litigator or been a trial judge and an appellate judge, that the mixture of all of those things, the amalgam of those things help me to listen and understand.\"",
"Sotomayor repeated Sotomayor's statement from Tuesday that poor wording caused misunderstanding of what Sotomayor meant to say, explaining that judges \"rely on the law to command the results in the case.\"",
"\"So when one talks about life experiences, and even in the context of my speech, my message was different than I understand my words have been understood by some,\" Sotomayor continued.",
"Cornyn pressed Sotomayor if Sotomayor stood by Sotomayor's words from Tuesday's testimony that Sotomayor's \"wise Latina\" statement was a failed rhetorical flourish using \"words that don't make sense and that they're a bad idea?\"",
"\"I stand by the words.",
"It fell flat,\" Sotomayor responded.",
"\"And I understand that some people have understood my words in a way that I never intended.",
"And I would hope that, in the text of my speech, that my words would be understood.\"",
"In one of Wednesday's few sharp exchanges, Sotomayor rejected Alabama Sen. Jeff Session's contention that Sotomayor had pre-judged the issue of gun control.",
"Learn more about Sotomayor's past rulings » .",
"Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, asked whether Sotomayor would recuse Sotomayor from gun control cases because Sotomayor ruled in the past that the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment does not apply to state gun control laws.",
"\"I have not made up my mind.",
"I didn't say that I didn't believe it was fundamental,\" Sotomayor shot back.",
"Sotomayor explained that the word \"fundamental\" in legal terms refers to whether a federal statute applies to the states.",
"The ruling cited by Sessions referred to a prior case that made the determination, Sotomayor said, so Sotomayor was following the precedent.",
"Sotomayor previously said Sotomayor recognizes an individual right to bear arms as recently identified by the Supreme Court in the ruling District of Columbia v. Heller.",
"Also Wednesday, Sotomayor told how an episode of the television show \"Perry Mason\" influenced Sotomayor to become a prosecutor.",
"Sotomayor cited an episode in which Perry Mason, after winning yet another case, consoles beleaguered prosecutor Hamilton Burger by noting it must be hard to expend such effort only to have charges dismissed.",
"\"No, my job as a prosecutor is to do justice, and justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not,\" Sotomayor quoted the prosecutor as saying.",
"\"That TV character said something that motivated my choices in life,\" Sotomayor said."

"Human smuggler's wife, Araceli Valencia, was mopping the kitchen in their family home on a typical warm spring morning in Phoenix, Arizona, \"when Valencia suddenly felt a hard object pointed to the back of Valencia's head and a voice in Spanish tell Valencia not to move,\" according to a Phoenix, Arizona, police investigative report.",
"\"I told you not to look at me!\"",
"Valencia heard one of the kidnappers bark as he struck Human smuggler across her head.",
"Valencia's four children bawling, Valencia was hustled into a bedroom where an armed man fondled Valencia and threatened to rape Valencia if Valencia didn't tell an armed man where Human smuggler hid Human smuggler's money, according to a Phoenix, Arizona, police investigative report.",
"After beating and binding Andrade, one of the kidnappers put a gun to Valencia's head.",
"His message: the kidnappers're taking your husband and SUV.",
"the kidnappers'll be watching your house.",
"If you call the cops, Human smuggler's a dead man.",
"Andrade, Human smuggler's wife would later tell police, was a mechanic and freelance human smuggler, or coyote.",
"Police say Human smuggler's 2006 kidnapping was evidence of a growing trend in Phoenix: drug and human traffickers abducting each other for ransoms or retribution.",
"Watch why Phoenix is the hotspot » .",
"a growing trend in Phoenix: drug and human traffickers abducting each other for ransoms or retribution continues, as police investigated roughly a kidnapping a day in 2007 and 2008 and are on track to shatter those numbers this year.",
"Police are stingy with details of fresh cases navigating the court system, but recently allowed CNN to review the files from Human smuggler's kidnapping.",
"For two and a half days after Andrade's abduction, the kidnappers -- including a man whom Human smuggler later said had been a friend -- deprived Men's victim of food and water.",
"Through the door of the closet where Human smuggler was held, Human smuggler could hear the cries of other victims being tortured in the house, the report said.",
"Meanwhile, Valencia had defied the kidnappers and called police, who listened to Human smuggler \"scream and howl in pain\" over the phone as the kidnappers tried to cut off Human smuggler's ear and a finger.",
"The torture would continue until Valencia came up with the ransom, the kidnappers told her.",
"Hear Andrade's wife plead with the kidnappers » .",
"the kidnappers were true to the kidnappers's word.",
"Human smuggler was pistol-whipped and beaten with a baseball bat and the butt of a rifle.",
"the kidnappers tried to gouge out Human smuggler's eye and slashed open Human smuggler's left eyebrow.",
"the kidnappers burned Human smuggler's back as well -- presumably, police said, with a blowtorch found at the scene.",
"Read how the next door neighbors knew nothing of this .",
"Human smuggler \"could feel Human smuggler's pants and underwear being cut open by an unknown person,\" Human smuggler told police.",
"Human smuggler was told to bend over and was beaten when Human smuggler refused.",
"\"Human smuggler felt Human smuggler's legs being forced apart and heard Aldo say he was going to get his money,\" the report said.",
"the kidnappers then sodomized Human smuggler with a broomstick, a pair of scissors and a wooden dowel used to hang clothes in a closet.",
"Kidnappers creative with coercion .",
"Ferocity is often a hallmark of the abductions taking place in this south Arizona city of 1.5 million that serves as a prime transshipment point for drugs and human cargo.",
"Watch how the kidnappers choose the kidnappers's targets » .",
"Phoenix police say Phoenix police have yet to witness the level of violence -- the beheadings, the bodies shoved in drums -- that Phoenix police's counterparts are seeing in Mexico City or the border town of Juarez.",
"\"It gets close sometimes,\" said Lt. Lauri Burgett, who heads the Home Invasion and Kidnapping Enforcement squad.",
"Kidnappers will smash Kidnappers's victims' fingers with bricks, snip their victims''s backs open with wire cutters, carve their victims' up with knives or simply shoot their victims'.",
"\"We've had their victims' electrocuted.",
"They set their victims' in a tub with water and use kind of barbaric means and zap a tub.",
"I think it was a battery hooked up,\" Burgett said.",
"Two kidnappings last year resulted in murders, Burgett added, but it's not the norm.",
"Phoenix police formed the HIKE squad in October after two years of unprecedented kidnapping numbers -- 357 in 2007 and 368 in 2008 -- gave Phoenix the dubious distinction of being the nation's kidnapping capital.",
"Home invasions were not far behind: 317 in 2007 and 337 in 2008.",

"\"It's all about the money.",
"And there's so much money to be made in this that you can't stop it, but you can try to reveal it, and then you can try to do something about it,\" Burgett said.",
"The task force has made dozens of arrests, but as of March 31, Phoenix had 101 reported kidnappings.",
"If the trend continues, Phoenix will record an increase in kidnapping for a fourth straight year.",
"More frustrating is that the numbers represent only a third, maybe less, of Phoenix's kidnappings, said Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a police spokesman with 16 years of drug enforcement experience.",
"Most kidnappings aren't reported, he said, because the victims are generally smugglers, drug dealers or illegal immigrants -- or some combination of the three.",
"Other criminals targeted .",
"The most common cases are criminal-on-criminal -- drug smugglers or coyotes snatching rivals or their loved ones.",
"In some cases, a drug dealer may have lost a load or failed to make a payment, but there are also cases when kidnappers do it solely for the ransom, which can be between $30,000 and $250,000, Thompson said.",
"\"[The victims are] wearing the doper bling-bling, and they target The victims,\" Thompson said.",
"\"We've had several cases where the ransom amount has been $1 million that the person has asked for.",
"In addition to that, they often ask for drugs -- 100 pounds of marijuana, perhaps a pound or two of speed, a pound or two of cocaine or several ounces of heroin.\"",
"Phoenix police have even arrested victims after rescuing them, Burgett said.",
"Less frequent but still accounting for 78 kidnappings last year are cases in which coyotes hold their human cargo captive or steal another coyote's patrons, known as pollos (Spanish for chickens), Burgett said.",
"Burgett said human trafficking is often linked to the drug trade because both industries require the same routes and subterfuge to ferry both industries's wares into the country.",
"See what other cities have a cartel presence .",
"There are rarely \"true victims\" in Phoenix's kidnappings, the lieutenant said.",
"However, one criminal attorney who has represented at least 10 kidnappers in the last decade insists that the coyote business is \"uglier than the drug trade\" and that pollos are often killed or forced to do coyotes' bidding when they can't come up with the ransoms.",
"\"In the drug business, the people getting killed are in the drug business.",
"the people getting killed are not end users, not consumers,\" said Antonio Bustamente.",
"\"In the coyote business, the people killed are really innocent.",
"[First-time] illegal entry is a petty offense.\"",
"Though many might debate the innocence of victims entangled in Phoenix's border-related violence, police say there have been instances when the kidnappers snatched the wrong mark.",
"Girl mistakenly snatched .",
"On the evening of March 17, 2008, a 13-year-old girl and The friend's friend were walking out of a home in the suburb of Avondale.",
"They were planning to play basketball.",
"The friend, according to a police investigative report, was the niece of a man named \"Chucky.\"",
"a man named \"Chucky and a man named \"Chucky's cohorts, witnesses told police, had earlier stolen 55 pounds of marijuana and left several men tied up in a vacant house.",
"Hours later, a police investigative report said, armed men arrived at a man named \"Chucky's sister's house in three vehicles, one a white Chevrolet Tahoe with blue-and-red strobes like the police use.",
"armed men wanted a man named \"Chucky, armed men's drugs or $24,000.",
"The 13-year-old said The friend didn't know a man named \"Chucky.",
"When The friend tried to walk away, \"one of armed men grabbed The friend by the neck, pointed a gun at The friend and forced The friend in the vehicle,\" a police investigative report said.",
"Eventually, armed men called the girl's mother to demand ransom.",
"A police officer took the phone and informed the men armed men had The friend.",
"The friend was released relatively unharmed in the suburb of Surprise.",
"The case serves as a reminder that as police scramble to tamp the bloodshed before it reaches the levels proliferating south of the border, collateral damage is a reality.",
"Watch how the kidnapping often occur in quiet neighborhoods » .",
"The origins of the kidnappers -- 90 percent of whom hail from the Mexican state from which the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel takes the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel's name -- also remind law enforcement that 150 miles south lies a country racked with a more extreme brand of violence.",
"Human smuggler was fortunate that police were able to find Human smuggler.",
"On Human smuggler's third day in captivity, an undercover officer posing as a loan shark convinced the kidnappers to lower the kidnappers's ransom from $50,000 to $10,000 and the title to the Ford Expedition they had stolen.",
"When the kidnappers arrived at the drop point, a Safeway supermarket parking lot, police swarmed on the kidnappers's green Chevrolet Tahoe, the report said.",
"One of the men, Luis Alberto Castro-Vega, then 23, disclosed Human smuggler's whereabouts after police promised not to charge him with kidnapping.",
"Only Castro-Vega has been convicted of crimes associated with Andrade's kidnapping: first-degree burglary, theft by extortion, armed robbery and three counts of aggravated assault.",
"In September 2006, a judge sentenced Castro-Vega to 54 years in prison.",

"(CNN) --",
"A double amputee sprinter has won the right to be eligible to compete at this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing after sport's highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.",
"Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorious competed in two able-bodied athletics meetings in 2007.",
"Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Oscar Pistorius' Oscar Pistorius, who runs on prosthetic blades, is eligible to compete against able-bodied athletes.",
"Pistorius, 21, who lost both legs below the knees when Oscar Pistorius' was a baby, runs on shock-absorbing carbon-fiber prosthetics that resemble bent skis -- earning Oscar Pistorius' the nickname \"Blade Runner.\"",
"Pistorius, a Paralympic Games champion and world record holder, had lobbied the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to allow Oscar Pistorius' to compete at the Olympics this August, but after extensive tests the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) ruled in January that Oscar Pistorius''s J-shaped prosthetics qualify as technical aids, which are banned in IAAF-governed sports.",
"the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) does allow athletes with prosthetics to compete in able-bodied sports, as long as the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) believes they do not give the athlete an unfair edge.",
"But Friday's ruling by Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland, overturned that verdict.",
"In a statement, Court of Arbitration for Sport said that Court of Arbitration for Sport's panel had \"not been persuaded that there was sufficient evidence of any metabolic advantage in favor of a double-amputee\" using Pistorius' blades.",
"Appeals of court decisions are allowed, but on very limited grounds.",
"But Court of Arbitration for Sport said Court of Arbitration for Sport did not exclude the possibility that future scientific tests could be developed which might enable the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to prove that the blades provided Oscar Pistorius' with an advantage over able-bodied athletes.",
"The South African won gold in the 200 meters, and bronze in the 100 meters at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens.",
"Oscar Pistorius' holds the Paralympic world records in the 100, 200, and 400 meters.",
"Since Athens, Oscar Pistorius' has competed in two able-bodied races in which Oscar Pistorius' finished second and last, respectively.",
"Oscar Pistorius' will have emphasized to the court the disadvantages Oscar Pistorius' feels Oscar Pistorius' has by running with prosthetics, CNN World Sport's Don Riddell said.",
"\"There are disadvantages when it's windy, when it's raining, (and) it takes Oscar Pistorius' longer to get up to speed at the start,\" CNN World Sport's Don Riddell said.",
"\"Oscar Pistorius' will be hoping that they take everything into consideration and not just rule on how much spring Oscar Pistorius''s prosthetic limbs give Oscar Pistorius'.\"",
"In November, the IAAF carried out tests on Oscar Pistorius' over two days at the German Sport University in Cologne to determine if Oscar Pistorius''s prosthetics, known as Cheetah limbs, could be considered a technical aid.",
"A team of more than 10 scientists used high-speed cameras, special equipment to measure ground-reaction forces, and a three-dimensional scanner to record body mass.",
"A team of more than 10 scientists concluded Oscar Pistorius' was able to run with Pistorius''s prosthetic blades at the same speed as able-bodied sprinters with about 25 percent less energy expenditure.",
"Oscar Pistorius''s blades gave Oscar Pistorius' an energy return nearly three times higher than the human ankle joint offers in maximum sprinting, they said.",
"CNN World Sport's Don Riddell described Friday's ruling in Oscar Pistorius''s favor as \"groundbreaking,\" and said it raised questions about the future of paralympic sports.",
"\"What does this do to the future of the Paralympics if Oscar Pistorius''s allowed to run in the able-bodied Olympics?",
"Is Oscar Pistorius' actually doing a disservice to other Paralympic athletes?",
"Does it cheapen the Paralympic Games?\" CNN World Sport's Don Riddell asked."

"\"Even in the face of current economic and political challenges confronting the economy, the Zimbabwe dollar ought to and must remain its currency, so as to safeguard our national identity and sovereignty.",
"... its currency is a fundamental economic pillar of our sovereignty,\" said Gideon Gono, governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.",
"\"Accordingly, therefore, this monetary policy statement unveils yet another necessary program of revaluing our local currency, through the removal of 12 zeros with immediate effect.\"",

"One U.S. dollar is trading above 300 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.",
"This third attempt to lop off zeros comes barely six months after Zimbabwe last adjusted Zimbabwe's currency as its currency continues to lose value.",
"World-record inflation estimated to be in the billions of percent -- but officially at 231 million percent as of July last year -- has quickly eroded its currency's value again and again.",
"The highest note on the new set is 500 Zimbabwe dollars.",

"Last week, Zimbabwe's acting finance minister, Patrick Chinamasa, allowed the use of foreign currency by everyone else.",
"Despite the use of foreign currency, the Zimbabwe dollars are in acute shortage, resulting in many people sleeping outside their banks hoping to get money the following day.",
"Regarding the cash shortages, Gono blamed Germany for dropping a contract that helped Zimbabwe print money.",
"\"Zimbabwe has suffered bouts of cash shortages, which have disadvantaged both the corporate and household sectors,\" Gono said.",
"\"As a country, Zimbabwe have come to terms with this stubborn reality that Zimbabwe were put under economic sanctions by Germany, which unilaterally cut a 50-year-old contract to supply Zimbabwe with currency printing paper, machinery, spare parts and inks without notice in July last year.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"House Democrats unveiled House Democrats's revised version of health care reform Tuesday, offering a proposal that includes a government-funded health insurance option, requires both individuals and employers to participate, and taxes the wealthy to help cover costs.",
"Obama has urged Congress to work quickly on creating a health care reform bill.",
"Democratic House leaders said the measure, titled \"America's Affordable Health Choices Act,\" met the requirements set by Obama for health care reform by lowering costs to consumers and businesses, letting people keep people's current plan if desired, and preventing denial of coverage due to pre-existing medical conditions.",
"\"The House proposal will begin the process of fixing what's broken about our health care system, reducing costs for all, building on what works, and covering an estimated 97 percent of all Americans,\" Obama said in a written statement.",
"\"And by emphasizing prevention and wellness, The House proposal will also help improve the quality of health care for every American.\"",
"Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, said The House proposal is intended to repair a \"dysfunctional\" health care system that is draining the U.S. economy while leaving 46 million Americans without health insurance.",
"\"We are going to accomplish what many people felt wouldn't happen in our lifetime,\" Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California said.",
"But House Republicans slammed The House proposal and pledged to try to amend The House proposal as three House committees begin considering the legislation later this week.",
"Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, said the bill \"without any question will kill jobs, will limit access to health care, will raise taxes and will lead to a government takeover of health care.\"",
"Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri said Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri will offer an amendment requiring all elected federal officials, including Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, to enroll in the new public insurance option.",
"Republicans and some fiscally conservative Democrats also question the cost of health care reform.",
"An earlier draft of The House proposal carried a price tag of $1 trillion over 10 years.",
"The Congressional Budget Office said The House proposal also would cost $1 trillion.",
"However, a senior Democratic House committee staffer said the CBO analysis only covered costs without factoring in cost-saving measures worth $500 billion over 10 years or the revenue from tax surcharges on wealthy Americans, estimated to raise more than $500 billion over a decade.",
"According to the CBO, The House proposal would cover 97 percent of Americans by 2015.",
"The House proposal includes tax surcharges on Americans in the top 1.2 percent of income.",
"The House proposal proposes a 5.4 percent surtax on couples earning more than $1 million, a 1.5 percent surtax on couples with income between $500,000 and $1 million, and a 1 percent surtax on joint incomes over $350,000 or individual income over $280,000.",
"Anticipating Republican complaints that the tax surcharges would harm small business owners who report their income as personal, Democratic sponsors said The House proposal would affect less than 5 percent of all small business owners.",
"Specific provisions of The House proposal include: . -- A Health Insurance Exchange providing individuals and small business with choices for coverage, including a government-funded public option.",
"-- No more coverage exclusion for pre-existing conditions.",
"-- Affordability credits for low- and moderate-income individuals and families, available to those with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, or $43,000 for individuals and $88,000 for a family of four.",
"-- Limits on annual out-of-pocket spending.",
"-- Expanded Medicaid coverage to individuals and families with incomes at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty level.",
"-- Required participation by individuals, with a penalty of 2.5 percent of adjusted gross income for non-compliance.",
"-- Requirement that businesses with payrolls exceeding $250,000 provide businesses with payrolls exceeding $250,000's employees with health coverage or contribute up to 8 percent of businesses with payrolls exceeding $250,000's payroll on their behalf.",
"-- A series of measures intended to reduce costs of Medicaid, Medicare and other existing systems.",
"A statement Tuesday from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups opposed some of The House proposal's proposals, calling for market forces and employer autonomy instead of mandated participation by businesses.",
"\"Exempting some micro-businesses will not prevent this provision from killing many jobs,\" A statement Tuesday from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups said.",
"The House proposal now goes to three committees for debate and revision before consideration by the full chamber.",
"The Senate also is considering health reform measures that contain some of the House bill provisions.",
"Obama has said Obama wants both chambers to pass both chambers's respective proposals before Congress goes on Congress's August recess as part of a timetable to get a final bill to Obama's desk by the end of the year.",
"House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia argued that the current economic conditions mean Congress should take its time on a major overhaul of the health care system.",
"\"There's no need for us to be rushing into passing legislation before the end of this month at the potential cost of, really, millions of jobs,\" House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia said Tuesday.",
"A CNN-Opinion Research Corp. survey released July 1 found that a slim majority -- 51 percent -- support Obama's health care plans, but most worry that their costs would go up, and only one in five think their families would be better off.",

"People with a gene variant that sharply increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease in old age may show memory impairment earlier than thought -- sometimes well before People with a gene variant that sharply increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease in old age's 60th birthday, according to new study in the New England Journal of Medicine.",
"A variant of the APOE gene indicates whether a person has a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.",
"Between 20 and 35 percent of Americans have one or two copies of this gene variant, inherited from one or both parents.",
"People with one copy of the variant, called apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE e4), have a 29 percent lifetime risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, while people who don't have it have a 9 percent risk.",
"People with two copies of APOE e4 have an even higher Alzheimer's risk, but it's hard to define the exact percentage as only 2 percent of the population falls into this category.",
"Despite the gene-related health problems, another study in the same issue of the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that people who learn they do have APOE e4 seem to handle the information pretty well.",
"But the researchers excluded people with anxiety or depression, and the researchers followed people for just a year.",
"Therefore, the results don't tell the whole story about what it would be like for most people to find out whether most people carried the APOE e4 gene.",
"Nevertheless, the findings are an important first step, said Dr. Kenneth Kosik, a professor of neuroscience at the University of California Santa Barbara and the codirector of UCSB's Neuroscience Research Institute.",
"\"I think it opens the door to ask the deeper questions,\" said Kosik, referring to the possible consequences for individuals and society if widespread APOE testing were introduced.",
"(Kosik was not involved with either study.)",
"If people do find out people have the APOE e4 gene, Kosik added, the new memory study could make the news harder to bear.",
"Dr. Richard J. Caselli, of the Mayo Clinic Arizona, in Scottsdale, and his colleagues followed 815 people ages 21 to 97 with normal mental function, including 317 who had at least one copy of the APOE e4 gene.",
"On one test of a person's ability to learn and remember (the Auditory-Verbal Learning Test) gene carriers showed declines in gene carriers's scores beginning in gene carriers's 50s.",
"For people without the APOE e4 gene, this decline started in people without the APOE e4 gene's 70s.",
"\"We're not talking anymore about a retired population; we're talking about people who will be in the midst of their career,\" Caselli said.",
"Caselli added that many would be in positions of responsibility in which they need to have all their wits about them -- and they may not.",
"Health.com: Eat smarter in your 30s, 40s, and 50s .",
"\"[The study] forces us to really think about the brave new world of genetics,\" and how this information might be used, Kosik said.",
"Although there had been a \"clear line\" between having the APOE e4 gene but being dementia-free and having Alzheimer's disease, that distinction isn't as clear anymore, Kosik explained.",
"For someone who discovers he or she has the APOE e4 gene, Caselli said, \"The only advice I have is, 'Don't panic.'\"",
"Right now, APOE gene testing is only recommended for people with mild problems with mental function or dementia; for people with no symptoms, APOE gene testing should only be done in a research setting, experts said.",
"Nevertheless, labs have sprung up that will offer the \"worried well\" an APOE gene test for a fee.",
"Having APOE testing without adequate medical, psychological, or genetic counseling is \"inappropriate,\" said Dr. Hyman Schipper, a professor of neurology and medicine at McGill University, and the director of the Centre for Neurotranslational Research at SMBD--Jewish General Hospital, both in Montreal.",
"In these situations, Dr. Hyman Schipper, a professor of neurology and medicine at McGill University, and the director of the Centre for Neurotranslational Research at SMBD--Jewish General Hospital explained people may not interpret the results correctly, and could run the risk of psychological harm.",
"For example, people who find out they carry the gene for Huntington's disease -- which means they have a 100 percent chance of developing a devastating neurodegenerative condition if they live long enough -- do indeed experience anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, Dr. Hyman Schipper, a professor of neurology and medicine at McGill University, and the director of the Centre for Neurotranslational Research at SMBD--Jewish General Hospital noted.",
"Health.com: Fight aging -- the real secrets to staying young .",
"In the second study, Dr. Robert C. Green of the Boston University School of Medicine, and his colleagues in the REVEAL Study Group set out to look at whether something similar would happen to people who found out they carried the Alzheimer's gene.",
"Dr. Robert C. Green of the Boston University School of Medicine, and his colleagues in the REVEAL Study Group assigned 162 symptom-free people at random to a group who would receive their APOE genotyping results and a group who would not be told their results, and then checked the study participants's level of anxiety and depression -- as well as stress related to the gene test -- six weeks, six months, and one year after the study participants got the news (or didn't).",
"All of the study participants had a parent with Alzheimer's disease, but none of the study participants had any signs of mental impairment or dementia.",
"People who found out they didn't carry the gene variant were less stressed about the test than those who found out they did carry the gene.",
"Green and his team also found that the higher a person scored on initial tests of anxiety and depression symptoms, the more likely he or she was to be anxious or depressed after finding out about the gene, although the researchers had excluded people with severe anxiety or depression from the study.",
"However, there were no differences between the groups that were told the news and those who were not.",
"The fact that people in the study agreed to be randomly assigned to get people in the study's APOE results suggests people in the study \"are not representative of those who have a strong perceived need to know or need not to know,\" Rosalie A. Kane and Dr. Robert L. Kane of the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, wrote in an editorial published with the studies.",
"the study also considered only the psychological impact of the news, they say.",
"Some people might make major life decisions based on the news, such as deciding to hoard Some people's money or spend it all.",
"In addition, employers and health insurers are banned from discriminating against someone based on their genes, but companies offering long-term-care insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance are allowed to take this information into account.",
"Health.com: How to get your way with body language .",
"One major reason why learning APOE e4 status could be so stressful is that there's no clear way to reduce Alzheimer's risk.",
"But there could be soon, some experts say.",
"\"We don't know yet how by doing interventions whether or not we can beat the APOE gene or at least diminish its effects,\" said Kosik.",
"\"We do know that the likelihood of getting Alzheimer is very much affected by people's exercise level, people's blood pressure, people's cholesterol levels, perhaps people's diet, and the degree to which people engage in cognitive challenges.",
"All of those things have data, some stronger than others, that you can have some effect on your likelihood of getting Alzheimer's.\"",
"But, Caselli points out that trying to encourage people to exercise in order to prevent heart disease, for example, has been far from successful, and getting people to be active to ward off Alzheimer's may be equally difficult.",
"Health.com: Heartburn or heart attack?",
"How to tell the difference .",
"Maybe, however, the thought of losing our minds is a bit more motivating than the idea of heart disease.",
"\"There is some recent evidence to suggest, in fact, that personal knowledge of APOE status and general AD risk profile may spur healthy midlife adults to adopt or modify behaviors that might protect against Alzheimer,\" Schipper said.",
"Health.com: 10 Risk factors for heart disease .",
"Apolipoprotein is a cholesterol-carrying molecule, and the gene that makes the protein comes in three slightly different versions -- e2, e3, and e4 (there's no e1).",

"Although polls had indicated the race had tightened considerably in the past few weeks, most analysts had predicted that FMLN's Funes would win.",
"\"It's a sign that there's democracy in El Salvador, which is something the United States tried to foster,\" said Bernard Aronson, who as President George H.W. Bush's assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs from 1989-93 was heavily involved in ending El Salvador's 12-year civil war.",
"The FMLN, which is the Spanish acronym for the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, was formed in late 1980 as an umbrella group for five leftist guerilla organizations fighting a U.S.-backed military dictatorship.",
"The guerrillas and the government signed a peace pact in 1992 and the FMLN became a legitimate political party.",
"By some estimates, 75,000 Salvadorans died during El Salvador's 12-year civil war.",
"The new president will find \"a country that still retains a lot of bitterness, a lot of division,\" said Peter Hakim, president of the Washington-based Inter-American Dialogue policy institute.",
"\"El Salvador is completely divided,\" the ARENA party party official Adolfo Torres said on CNN affiliate TCS TV station Sunday night.",
"The election, Hakim said, was \"an important test of how far El Salvador has come.\"",
"The result also will be an important test of how far El Salvador will go.",
"With an economy in deep trouble and neither party having enough seats to control the national Legislative Assembly, much will depend on the party that lost.",
"\"Conflict occurs when one person wants to force a conflict,\" Hakim said.",
"\"Compromise requires both sides.\"",
"No one is certain how the ARENA party will handle the loss.",
"\"That's a big unknown,\" said Heather Berkman, a Latin America analyst with the consulting firm Eurasia Group.",
"\"I still think the ARENA party'll play ball.",
"the ARENA party have an incentive to get along with the new administration.",
"the ARENA party certainly don't want to be shut out of the process.\"",
"Otto Reich, who served in high-level Latin American posts for Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, sees the possibility of a spirited fight from the ARENA party.",
"\"If I had to guess, I'd say the ARENA party will try to put democratic obstacles in the way of an FMLN consolidation of power,\" Otto Reich, who served in high-level Latin American posts for Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush said.",
"Although ARENA, which are the Spanish initials for the Nationalist Republican Alliance, has come back from a 14-point deficit in some polls two months ago, Otto Reich, who served in high-level Latin American posts for Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush said winning a fifth consecutive term was \"swimming against the tide.\"",
"\"People in El Salvador are weighing risks and opportunities,\" Otto Reich, who served in high-level Latin American posts for Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush said.",
"\"People in El Salvador have an opportunity to replace a party with which People in El Salvador have gotten tired.\"",
"Hakim also saw voter fatigue with the ARENA party, saying, \"One party has managed El Salvador forever and ever.\"",
"Many of the 2.4 million Salvadorans who voted weighed competing doubts.",
"\"The uncertainty is that the FMLN has never been in power,\" Berkman said.",
"But voters also asked voters, Berkman said, whether voters were \"better off than voters were five years ago, 10 years ago.\"",
"Avila, Berkman said, could not run on a message of change.",
"Funes' message of change and putting new people in power was more effective.",
"Since the war ended, Salvadorans have mostly supported the ARENA party because of concerns over the FMLN's left-wing agenda and the group's guerrilla background.",
"There also have been outside influences.",
"\"El Salvador has been afraid to vote for the left because of fears from Washington,\" Larry Birns, director of the nonprofit Council on Hemispheric Affairs, said recently.",
"With the election of Barack Obama as president of Washington, Salvadorans may expect a different attitude from Washington.",
"El Salvador, Colombia and Peru have been the United States' closest allies in Latin America.",
"Birns calls the three nations \"Washington's street-corner guys.\"",
"With an FMLN victory, El Salvador joins other Latin American countries that have elected leftist leaders in recent years -- Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Argentina, Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador and Brazil.",
"But Berkman and others warn that Washington must not lump everyone together.",
"\"People tend to look at the left in Latin America and oversimplify it,\" Berkman said.",
"\"There's the good left and the bad left.\"",
"Or as Aronson put it, \"There's leftists, and there's leftists.\"",
"Aronson sees two types of leftist governments in Latin America: \"institutional\" governments like Brazil's that \"have made peace with the free market\" while still championing social programs, and populist, more-radical governments like Venezuela's.",
"Analysts are not sure what to make of FMLN's Funes, a former freelance journalist for CNN en Español who is projecting a moderate image.",
"\"the FMLN did something very clever,\" Reich said.",
"\"the FMLN put somebody at the head of the party who is not a guerrilla, not a terrorist.\"",
"the FMLN may not know what to expect from FMLN's Funes.",
"Berkman calls it \"an issue of uncertainty\" between the former journalist and the former guerrilla group.",
"\"There's a lot of unknowns about how the relationship between FMLN's Funes and the FMLN will proceed,\" Berkman said, adding that Berkman will watch FMLN's Funes's Cabinet picks and whether FMLN's Funes brings in people from other parties.",
"FMLN's Funes's victory was a defining moment for the FMLN.",
"\"It's an important transformation,\" Hakim said.",
"\"The ex-guerrillas have to make a decision: Are The ex-guerrillas going to try to bring about revolutionary, radical change or manage the whole country and have step-by-step reform?\"",
"Aronson sees it as \"a test of whether they will be pragmatic or ideological.\"",
"the FMLN may not have a choice but to be pragmatic.",
"the FMLN holds 35 seats in the 84-member National Assembly.",
"the ARENA party has 32 seats.",
"Forty-three votes are needed to pass most legislation and some measures require \"supermajority\" approval of 56 votes.",
"That means that, if the ARENA party and the FMLN cannot agree on a measure, ARENA and the FMLN have to look to one of the minor parties for support.",
"The PCN, which is the National Conciliation Party, has 11 seats and could emerge as a power broker.",
"Two others parties hold six seats.",
"\"It is in the PCN's interest to play ball as well,\" Berkman said.",
"\"the PCN will act as a moderating force.\"",
"Berkman also said the FMLN will likely take a moderate approach because the nation relies too much on outside investments and remittances from Salvadorans living abroad for the former guerrillas to adopt too much of a radical approach.",
"But Hakim worries about something else.",
"\"I think the ARENA party may be prepared for this [loss],\" Hakim said.",
"\"I'm concerned that the FMLN may not be prepared to govern.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The cause of a deadly Washington Metro subway crash last month remains a mystery, with one problem identified by investigators persisting even after engineers replaced a key part that was believed to be faulty, a top Metro official said Tuesday .",
"Investigators are shown at the crash scene in WASHINGTON.",
"Nine people were killed in the June 22 accident.",
"At a congressional hearing, Jim Graham said Metro replaced a device that was \"fluttering,\" signaling the presence of a train one moment and not the next.",
"\"You'd think that that would remedy the issue, that ... we would have solved the problem,\" said Jim Graham, chairman of Metro's board of directors.",
"\"In fact, the new device ... continued the same fluttering as the former device.\"",
"\"We're left with a very compelling mystery as to what is going on here,\" Jim Graham said.",
"The National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation, acknowledged that Metro's system of detecting trains continues to have unexplained, intermittent failures.",
"\"Sometimes it's working; sometimes it's not, even with those changes,\" NTSB member Deborah Hersman told a House committee.",
"\"We've walked back the cable to see if there might be some cabling issues.",
"There's a lot of challenges here and we're changing out some components and trying to identify what the problem is,\" NTSB member Deborah Hersman said.",
"Metro has said Metro will operate the subway trains on manual control until officials have identified and fixed the problem with the automatic train system.",
"Nine people were killed and scores were injured during the June 22 crash just north of the Red Line's Fort Totten station.",
"At Tuesday's hearing, a passenger on one of the trains gave a dramatic description of the accident.",
"Patrick Tuite of Kensington, Maryland, said Patrick Tuite had just put down Patrick Tuite's newspaper and closed Patrick Tuite's eyes to relax when Patrick Tuite heard a screeching sound, someone yelling and \"one of the loudest bangs I've ever heard in my life.\"",
"Patrick Tuite said in the impact, Patrick Tuite hit the seat in front of Patrick Tuite.",
"When Patrick Tuite peered into the forward-most car, Patrick Tuite saw extensive damage.",
"The floor of the forward-most car had collapsed \"accordion-like,\" Patrick Tuite said.",
"\"We could hear the people at this point in the forward-most car,\" Patrick Tuite said.",
"\"And it was pretty chaotic.",
"They were screaming; they were upset,\" Patrick Tuite said.",
"But the collision had jammed the doors between the cars, making it impossible to reach victims in the forward-most car.",
"It wasn't until Patrick Tuite got off the train that Patrick Tuite realized the forward-most car was thrust into the air, Patrick Tuite said.",
"Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia's Congressional delegate, chided the NTSB for making prohibitively costly safety recommendations while ignoring cheaper, common sense solutions, such as putting the newer, more robust rail cars at the front and back of trains.",
"\"Over and over again, you said, 'Do the impossible,' \" Norton, a Democrat, said, referring to the NTSB recommendations that Metro replace older cars with sturdier new ones.",
"\"Why didn't the transportation board at least recommend this rather low-tech, low-cost step?\"",
"NTSB member Deborah Hersman said the NTSB's role is to push for safety improvements.",
"\"the NTSB do make recommendations, Ms. Norton, and the NTSB don't have to pay for them, so the NTSB recognize that frustration,\" NTSB member Deborah Hersman said.",
"\"But the NTSB's charge is not to [consider costs].",
"the NTSB's charge is to recommend what the NTSB think is in the best interest of the safety community.",
"the NTSB are the conscience and the compass of the transportation industry, and they [transportation providers and regulators] get to decide if and how they implement it,\" NTSB member Deborah Hersman said."

"ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) --",
"There is a shiny addition among the Ottoman mosques and palaces that make up Istanbul's stunning skyline: the metallic, mirrored dome of the new Sakirin Mosque, a Muslim place of worship built with a woman's touch.",
"When sun reflects off Sakirin Mosque's dome, light can be seen across the Bosphorus Strait.",
"For what may be the first time in history, women have been at the forefront of the construction of a mosque in Turkey.",
"One of the project's leaders is Zeynep Fadillioglu, an interior decorator who has designed restaurants, hotels and luxury homes from New Delhi, India, to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and London, England.",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu helped organize a team of traditional mosque artists specializing in Islamic calligraphy, along with craftsmen in glassworks, metal-casting and lighting who, like Fadillioglu, have built careers working in exclusively secular architecture and design.",
"\"I want people to feel peaceful and be left with people as much as possible and yet have beautiful art and artistic symbolism around people,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu said.",
"Istanbul has a venerable tradition of mosque architecture, dating back centuries to when Ottoman sultans declared Ottoman sultans caliph, or spiritual leader of the Muslim world.",
"Watch Zeynep Fadilioglu show off Zeynep Fadilioglu's work and inspirations » .",
"The shores of the Bosporus Strait are studded with 16th century masterpieces such as the Suleymaniye Mosque, built by Ottoman's most famous architect, Mimar Sinan, and ornate, neo-Baroque jewels designed by the Armenian Balyan family in the 19th century.",
"But Istanbul's most senior Muslim cleric laments that mosque design suffered a decline after the collapse of Ottoman in the wake of World War I.",
"\"In the last 70, 80 years, we have built mosques that are copies of Ottoman architecture,\" said Mustafa Cagrici, the mufti of Istanbul.",
"\"This wasn't a good development, because the copy can never be as good as the original.\"",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu and Zeynep Fadilioglu's team of artists are hoping to change that.",
"Look at photos of the mosque » .",
"Sakirin Mosque was commissioned by a wealthy Turkish Arab family and built in one of Istanbul's oldest cemeteries.",
"The designers put a number of contemporary touches on the structure, giving Sakirin Mosque plate glass walls etched with gold-leaf verses from the Quran, framed by giant cast-iron grids.",
"The mihrab -- the alcove that points worshippers in the direction of Mecca -- is made of asymmetrical ovals, similar to a design used by Zeynep Fadilioglu to decorate a restaurant in London.",
"And the chandelier is a multi-layered series of metal and plexiglass rings, carrying Quranic inscriptions and dripping with scores of delicate glass teardrops.",
"\"the chandelier brings the high dome down to the people,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu explained.",
"\"So when the people pray and kneel the people don't feel lost with the light and the light shelters the people.\"",
"Many of the artists here never worked on a mosque before.",
"\"It's special that a woman's hand is involved in this,\" said one of them, a male carpenter named Metin Cekeroglu.",
"\"If you think about it, a home is made by woman.",
"And if we think about Sakirin Mosque as a home of God, we can also say women will make Sakirin Mosque much better.\"",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu said one of Zeynep Fadilioglu's goals was to bring extra attention into the design of the women's section of the mosque, an area that Zeynep Fadilioglu says is often neglected by architects.",
"According to Islamic tradition, worshippers are segregated by gender at mosques.",
"\"I have seen mosques where women have been pushed to the worst part of stairs, cramped area.",
"Sort of as if (they are) unwanted in the mosque,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu said.",
"\"That is not what Islam is about. ...",
"Women are equal in Islam to men\"",
"Five minutes' drive from Sakirin Mosque stands the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, a 16th century structure built by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in honor of Sultan Suleiman's favorite daughter.",
"Unfortunately, female worshippers do not get to enjoy its stunning stained glass windows the way the men do.",
"female worshippers have to pray in a small women's section, hidden behind a bank of chest-high shelves that store shoes.",
"At Sakirin Mosque, Zeynep Fadilioglu said, Zeynep Fadilioglu gave women praying on the balcony an unobstructed view of the dome, the ornate chandelier, and the area on the floor where the imam will lead prayers.",
"\"I would like to come here to pray,\" said Elif Demir, an 18-year old art student with a funky, orange-dyed haircut who was working on the chandelier.",
"\"Sakirin Mosque is completely different because of the light that's coming through the walls, through the glass.\"",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu's role in Sakirin Mosque is all the more surprising because Zeynep Fadilioglu comes from a jet-set side of Turkish society not normally associated with Islam.",
"\"It is unusual,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu conceded, \"because first of all not many modern people have been commissioned to design a mosque.\"",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu spoke in a recent interview at Ulus 29, the expensive Istanbul hilltop restaurant and bar that is owned by Zeynep Fadilioglu's husband.",
"Amid the Ottoman- and Selcuk-inspired flourishes Zeynep Fadilioglu has sprinkled around the restaurant are echoes of designs seen at Sakirin Mosque.",
"A glass chandelier made of hundreds of crystal tear drops hangs above the bar, similar in style to Sakirin Mosque's chandelier.",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu said being a night club owner does not prevent Zeynep Fadilioglu from also being a Muslim.",
"\"You might be surprised in Turkey to find some very modern-looking people being very religious at the same time,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu said.",
"Religion is a hot-button political issue in Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country with a strict secular system of government.",
"For the past eight years a fierce power struggle has been under way between an urban secular elite and a rising new class of religiously conservative Turks from the Anatolian heartlands.",
"Unlike the wives of Turkey's Islamic-rooted president and prime minister, Zeynep Fadilioglu does not wear the Islamic headscarf that is often seen as the symbol of this new class of Turks.",
"Zeynep Fadilioglu said politics have polarized society.",
"\"In my childhood ... you didn't differentiate between who was religious,\" Zeynep Fadilioglu explained.",
"\"Whoever wants to worship or visit Sakirin Mosque, Sakirin Mosque's open, Sakirin Mosque's ready for them.\"",
"On May 8, Turkey's prime minister attended an inauguration ceremony for Sakirin Mosque.",
"Afterward, in an interview with CNN, the mufti of Istanbul called it the start of a new era of mosque design in Turkey.",
"\"It is in Islamic tradition for women to commission mosques ... and now we have women who are building mosques as well,\" Cagrici said.",
"\"God willing, I hope the world will see more of these beautiful mosques, touched by women's hands.\""

"-- Today in Washington, some politicians like to suggest that the many challenges we face as a nation mean we shouldn't tackle health care reform.",
"Nothing could be further from the truth.",
"With more and more of America's families, businesses, and local, state and federal governments struggling with the crushing costs of health care, health care reform has never been more important.",

"Unless we fix what is broken in our current system, everyone's health care will be in jeopardy.",
"Health care reform is not a luxury.",
"Health care reform is a necessity.",
"It's important to look at the size of the problem we face and where we stand.",
"Today, we have by far the most expensive health system in the world.",
"We spend 50 percent more per person on health care than the average developed country, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.",
"We spend more on health care than housing or food, the McKinsey Global Institute reported.",
"Nearly 46 million Americans are uninsured, millions more are underinsured, and Nearly 46 million Americans aren't the only ones who are suffering.",
"The high cost of care is hurting all of us.",
"A recent study by Families USA estimates that insured families pay a hidden health tax of more than $1,000 every year.",
"a hidden health tax of more than $1,000 is the amount businesses and families with insurance have to pay in insurance premiums, taxes and donations to help cover the cost of treating uninsured Americans.",
"Health insurance premiums for families that are covered through a job at a small business have increased 85 percent since 2000, and more small businesses are thinking about dropping health insurance benefits.",
"Nationwide, health care costs consume 18 percent of our gross domestic product.",
"If we continue on our current path, health care costs will consume 34 percent of our GDP by 2040, and the number of uninsured Americans will rise to 72 million, according to the Council of Economic Advisers.",
"Even though we spend more than any other nation on health care, we aren't healthier.",
"Only three developed countries have higher infant mortality rates.",
"Our nation ranks 24th in life expectancy among developed countries.",
"More than one-third of Americans are obese.",
"These statistics are the signs of a system that is both unacceptable and unsustainable.",
"These statistics also show us the high cost of doing nothing.",
"If we choose the status quo, more Americans will be uninsured, costs will continue to rise, and every American's health care will be at risk.",
"Inaction is not an option, and reform is long overdue.",
"The Obama administration is working to enact reform that will reduce costs for families, businesses and government; protect people's choice of doctors, hospitals and health plans; and assure affordable, quality health care for all Americans.",
"We are guided by a simple principle: Protect what works about health care and fix what's broken, and do it in a way that does not add to the deficit.",
"Obama has already introduced proposals that will provide $950 billion over 10 years in savings to finance health care reform.",
"Much of these resources come from wringing waste out of the current system and aggressively prosecuting fraud and abuse.",
"We will continue to work with Congress as it explores other financing options, and Obama is open to ideas about how we finance health care reform.",
"But we are not open to deficit spending.",
"Health care reform will be paid for, and Health care reform will be deficit-neutral over 10 years.",
"Working together, we can pass real health care reform that gives Americans the choices Americans deserve and the affordable, quality coverage Americans need.",
"And we know Americans do not want us to wait.",
"Too many people have suffered without basic medical care or paid too much for it.",
"For years, Americans have called on Washington to meet this challenge.",

"The body of woman was found near woman's car Wednesday, the apparent victim of an ammonia leak from a nearby plant in Swansea, South Carolina, police said.",
"The leak occurred at the Tanner Industries plant as a hose had been connected from a delivery trailer containing anhydrous ammonia (purified ammonia) to a storage tank in the facility, said David Binder, director of quality safety and regulatory affairs for Tanner Industries.",
"\"During that operation, a hole burst in a hose,\" David Binder, director of quality safety and regulatory affairs for Tanner Industries said.",

"Firefighters arrived within 10 minutes at the plant, where Firefighters saw a large, light-colored, dense plume, and closed area roads to traffic, he said.",
"The ammonia hovered first over U.S. 321, then moved into a wooded area, blackening its foliage, Allard said.",
"Public safety personnel searched the vicinity for any people or animals affected by the leak, and -- at 9:30 a.m. -- found woman's body next to woman's vehicle, which was parked on the side of U.S. 321, Allard said.",

"woman apparently got out of the vehicle and was overcome by the fumes, Allard said.",
"An autopsy has been ordered.",
"woman's name was not released pending notification of woman's family.",
"Seven people were taken to Lexington County Medical Center in stable condition with respiratory problems, none of which was life-threatening, Allard said.",

"\"On some days we've counted up to 30 patients a day who've lost their jobs and their health insurance,\" Doctor James Braude said.",
"So Doctor James Braude and Doctor James Braude's colleagues offer as much free care as Braude and his colleagues can afford.",

"We're addicted to helping people.",
"And when we can't, we go through withdrawal.\"",
"Millions of Americans have always gone without the kind of routine medical care that is seen as a basic right in many countries.",
"The U.S. economic downturn -- meaning people lose health insurance when people lose people's job -- and the election of Obama have coincided to increase both the need and the opportunity to address the plight of uninsured America.",
"Obama's ambition is to provide insurance for the estimated 50 million Americans without coverage.",
"Watch why many in rural U.S. have concerns » .",
"insurance for the estimated 50 million Americans is expected to cover doctors, hospital care and prescription drugs.",
"But just about every detail is still being negotiated so it's not certain who would be covered, what they would be covered for or whether people who don't want insurance would be forced to have it and pay for it.",
"The plans that emerge could become the Obama administration's most ambitious domestic program and potentially a big, early test of his presidency.",
"American medical care needs attention .",
"Even though nearly 50 million of its roughly 300 million people have no routine health care, the United States spends more going to the doctor than any other industrialized nation in the world.",
"Fully one-sixth of the economy is devoted to it.",
"Under the current hybrid system, the United States pays for health care for ex-military, the extremely poor and the elderly.",
"But the vast majority of Americans have to pay for the vast majority of Americans's own health care and most do it where they work; many employers arrange health insurance and partly subsidize the premiums.",
"The rapidly rising cost is crushing all kinds of businesses, from car companies to family farms.",
"At the same time, hospitals and doctors say hospitals and doctors are falling behind because the payments hospitals and doctors receive from insurance companies aren't keeping up with hospitals and doctors's costs.",

"The most profound disagreement centers on whether the United States should create the United States's own new health-insurance concern to compete with the private companies that provide insurance now.",
"Obama and many Democrats favor it; Republicans are dead set against it.",
"Part of the problem is that insurance companies fear the United States will put insurance companies out of business, by favoring or subsidizing the United States's own scheme.",
"The other part of the problem is more basic and ideological.",
"the United States already runs enormous health-insurance programs for the poor, the elderly and military veterans -- but many Americans see potentially mandatory government health-insurance as the foreign-born offspring of socialist states.",
"The economics: More debt .",
"Political opposition notwithstanding, The economics are going to be a problem too.",
"Health care is a $2 trillion-dollar-a-year industry that would have to expand to cover millions of people who are now uninsured.",
"The president has some ideas for new efficiencies but most estimates suggest the total cost of caring for Americans would rise dramatically.",
"Washington is already carrying record debt and would have to find a way to pay for record debt.",
"One assessment by the Congressional Budget Office of the president's plan estimated the president's plan would cost more than $1 trillion over 10 years and only provide coverage for about 16 million Americans.",
"There's also the possibility that the impact of reform on many employers and virtually every wage-earner across the country will have a spillover effect on the economy as a whole, still lodged in recession.",
"The health care industry: Undecided .",
"Then there is the place where the politics and the economy overlap: the health care industry.",
"Doctors alone have spent roughly two-thirds of a billion dollars lobbying lawmakers in the last 10 years, according to the independent Center for Responsive Politics.",
"Add pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, nurses and other health care professionals and you get one of the most influential forces in U.S. politics.",
"They successfully organized to defeat health care reform when the Clinton administration tried it 15 years ago.",
"The industry benefits from one crucial thing: Americans like Americans's doctors.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released July 1 found 54 percent of people worry that 54 percent of people's health care costs would go up if the administration's proposals get passed and only one in five thinks that his or her families would be better off under the Obama plan.",
"With all that in mind, Doctor James Braude says Doctor James Braude's optimistic the reform can succeed.",
"If not, Doctor James Braude says, \"the United States go back to the same system and the United States have 50 million people without insurance, which means you are one brain tumor away from bankruptcy.\""

"In March, President Obama announced that the U.S. government would provide the backing for Chrysler and General Motors vehicle warranties under the \"Warrantee Commitment Program.\"",
"Can I take my vehicle for service and warranty work to another (surviving) dealer?",
"Yes, but make sure it's a certified dealer.",
"If you're going to take your Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge vehicle in for warranty work, you can do so at a closing dealership until June 9.",
"After that time, Chrysler will no longer pay those dealers for warranty work.",
"GM vehicles will receive service and warranty work at closing dealers until GM vehicles shut down.",
"Will there be good deals on GM vehicles?",
"The Chrysler dealerships to close will have about 44,000 units on hand, or roughly what Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge sell across the country every 2-3 weeks (using April's sales numbers as a guide).",
"There will be deals, but be warned that if those 44,000 aren't sold before June 9, Chrysler will work to redistribute them to other dealers.",
"Whether the best deals will be had before or after June 9 is likely negligible; if you're interested in a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge product, you will save a lot of money on a new purchase right now.",
"One important factor to keep in mind is that approximately 10% of those remaining units are 2008 vehicles.",
"Be careful the car you're looking at hasn't been sitting on the lot inactive for too long; cars actually do \"rot.\"",
"General Motors's dealer announcement is a different story, since General Motors isn't releasing the names of the closing dealers.",
"Dealers who chose to disclose their shutdown may provide better deals.",
"AOL Autos: Why do cars rot on the lot?",
"How many people and jobs are affected by closing dealers?",
"The impact on communities will be significant.",
"Since dealers typically employ about 50 people and contract with a handful of suppliers (consider the business that sells paper or office furniture to each dealer), there will be impact within the community.",
"Some economists, however, believe that the impact will be less than expected, since dealers typically have a high turnover rate and technician jobs were in a short supply already.",
"But, the related aspects of dealer closings are certain: think of the little league baseball teams and charities that receive funding from do-gooding dealers.",
"Even real estate is affected; car dealerships usually set the market for commercial real estate in smaller communities.",
"When those go empty, the entire city feels the pain.",
"AOL Autos: Pressure to buy American .",
"Why were these dealers chosen?",
"Both Chrysler and General Motors have expressed interest to shrink their dealer base.",
"Company officials cite various data points related to choosing these dealers, but the main one is performance.",
"General Motors said that the average dealer of the 1,100 affected only sold 35 cars in all of 2008.",
"Chrysler cites similar numbers, with half Chrysler's closing dealerships selling less than 100.",
"But, even after these reductions by Chrysler and General Motors, Chrysler still have more dealers than other manufacturers.",
"Using April 2009's sales data as a proxy, Toyota has approximately 95 dealers per 1 point of market share in the U.S., while Chrysler has 256 and General Motors will have 172 (at the end of 2010).",
"This means that, effectively, Toyota is able to sell more vehicles per dealership.",
"AOL Autos: Fate of the GM brands .",
"Can dealers do anything about this?",
"Typically, dealers would have protection under state franchise laws against such events.",
"However, in Chrysler's case, state franchise laws are not applicable since Chrysler declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.",
"Chrysler dealers can (and likely will) protest the process by which Chrysler dealers were chosen (sales volume, number of brands in the store, the area in which the dealership operated).",
"But after June 9, Chrysler dealers will have to take down Chrysler dealers's signs.",
"General Motors dealers will likely organize GM dealers's own group, but details of that are unclear at this time.",
"AOL Autos:",
"Are extended warranties worth it?",
"Even after cuts, do the big three still have too many U.S. dealers?",
"Some companies need fewer dealers to sell the same amount of cars: .",
"Chrysler LLC Number of dealers: 2411",
"Market share: 9.4",
"Dealers per 1 pt. market share: 256 .",
"Ford Motor Co. Number of dealers: 3723",

"(CNN) --",
"The average American woman can live long enough to celebrate The average American woman's 80th birthday, so if a woman is able to become pregnant using in vitro fertilization with a donor egg at 56, a woman could still watch a woman's child grow into an adult.",
"But just because it's possible, does that mean a woman should?",
"Some feel that having children after 45 is unfair because the parents might not live to see the kids become adults.",
"The death of 69-year-old Maria del Carmen Bousada of Spain, who used in vitro fertilization with a donor egg to have twin boys at 66, has the fertility treatment community bracing for a backlash.",
"It could rival the fallout from octuplet mom Nadya Suleman -- and it seems to have already started.",
"In a national online survey about fertility conducted in May by Johnson & Johnson's Babycenter.com, 7 out of 10 moms who responded wanted tougher regulation laws for IVF treatments, and half of the 1,095 respondents thought it was bad for the children if a parent conceived past 45.",
"Fertility specialists understand those concerns, but Fertility specialists say it's not that simple.",
"Although it's rare for anyone older than 55 to get the go-ahead for IVF, that guideline is peer-enforced rather than mandated, and decisions typically are made on a case-by-case basis.",
"Georgia Dardick, an advertising executive in Boynton Beach, Florida, was one of those cases.",
"Florida woman tried to conceive via IVF six times and seriously considered adoption, but at 51, Florida woman wasn't ready to let go of Florida woman's desire to have a baby.",
"\"Fifty was the cutoff for my doctor, but they agreed to give us one more try,\" Florida woman said.",
"Florida woman had Florida woman's daughter in January.",
"Florida woman said Florida woman never planned to have a baby at 51, but feels that Florida woman made the right decision, despite the judgments others may have.",
"\"The word selfish has come into my mind.",
"But for any parent, having a child is selfish.",
"No matter what your age is, once you have that child, you owe that child everything.",
"I live the best, healthiest life I can.\"",
"Doctors say society's views of aging needs to change.",
"\"The 40 and 45-year-old of today is not the 40-year-old of the past; the 50-year-old [today] is not the same of the past,\" said Dr. John Jain, a physician at the Santa Monica (California) Fertility Clinic who has treated age-related infertility for 15 years.",
"\"They're eating healthy.",
"A woman who is 45 is barely halfway through [A woman who is 45] life.\"",
"Healthy or not, having a child at that age can cause tremendous stress on the body.",
"Candidates for IVF after 45 use either an egg donor or their own frozen embryos from a prior cycle and are screened for underlying medical problems, such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension or lung disease, said Dr. Charles Coddington of the Mayo Clinic's reproductive endocrinology department in Rochester, Minnesota.",
"Still, \"if somebody were in good health, it would be hard to say, 'you shouldn't have a baby,' \" he said.",
"\"One has to judge where they are, health-wise and financially.\"",
"But if a woman who claims to be 55 is actually in a woman who claims to be 55's mid-60s -- as Bousada reportedly did -- what's a doctor to do?",
"Not much, physicians say.",
"Watch report on death of 69-year-old mother » .",
"\"The truth may get dimmed to fit into the realm of a patient that may be acceptable.",
"I don't sit there and say, 'Go get your birth certificate.'",
"If someone's coming in and they're saying they're 52 or 55, I take it at face value,\" Coddington said, who does refer questionable cases to the fertility center's ethics board.",
"Even for those who choose to use it, the availability of this technology can be a double-edged sword.",
"Florida woman said Florida woman wouldn't change anything, but if Florida woman did have to do it all over again, Florida woman said Florida woman may have considered adoption earlier.",
"\"In a way, there's this hope always out there for you, and once you get into it, it's harder to break away,\" Florida woman said.",
"It's the intense desire to have a biological child that Manhattan-based psychotherapist Joan Wingroad, who specializes in fertility issues for women 40 and older, has been treating for 20 years.",
"\"I work with women who've been very successful.",
"women who've been very successful went to the right schools, got married and women who've been very successful feel that everything comes to you if you work hard.",
"But then women who've been very successful realize pregnancy doesn't happen that way,\" said Wingroad.",
"Wingroad helps Wingroad's clients find balance -- and limits -- by creating a plan: How long should her clients try IVF?",
"How long until her clients consider adoption or child-free living?",
"\"her clients need that.\"",
"Wingroad said, \"because many times a doctor will say, 'Look, this is your money, this is your dream; who am I to say that you can't do it anymore.'\"",
"While doctors do help women try to reach women's dream, Jain said Jain isn't afraid to tell a patient \"no\" if they simply aren't healthy enough -- or are just too old.",
"But, Jain said, it's all based on Jain's judgment as a trained physician.",
"\"Ninety-five percent of us do a great job about regulating ourselves.",
"I personally don't want to see more regulation, because more regulation becomes problematic, and it can be more costly.",
"Someone who's failed three cycles and [has already spent] $50,000 -- with the next cycle, will I be more aggressive?",
"Certainly,\" Jain said.",
"\"But maybe there's a middle ground, if the rule is that donor IVF will not be offered for women over 55 years of age.",
"Regulations at the extremes might be useful.\"",
"Even though Florida woman plans on living Florida woman's life as a new mom for quite some time, Florida woman said having a baby at Florida woman's age isn't ideal.",
"Florida woman and Florida woman's husband are taking careful precautions by adjusting She and her husband's financial planning to make sure She and her husband's daughter will be financially secure.",
"She and her husband're also tightening bonds with extended family and friends, should anything happen to her or her husband -- a decision Bousada may have made as well, as Florida woman's twin boys are now in the custody of a relative.",
"Those, Florida woman said, are the decisions one has to make when having a child later in life.",
"\"\"People feel that it's not fair to the child because you may not live long enough,\" Florida woman said.",
"But as someone who lost a father as a teenager, Florida woman knows \"there are no guarantees in life.\""
