"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The United States and Britain said Wednesday The United States and Britain are committed to remaining in Afghanistan, despite increased military casualties and declining public support for the war effort.",
"U.S. Marines partrol part of the Gharmsir district in Afghanistan's Helmand province on Wednesday.",
"\"We went into this together, and we will work it through together because we are stronger together,\" Miliband said after a half day of talks at the State Department with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.",
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised Miliband's approach on Afghanistan, including the call for the government to reconcile with moderate elements of the Taliban.",
"\"Miliband's analysis of the way forward is very much consistent with ours, and we will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in pursuit of our common objectives,\" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's counterpart.",
"In a speech at NATO headquarters on Monday, Miliband called for rank-and-file Taliban to be given the chance to reconcile with the government, even as the campaign continues against Taliban commanders who are waging jihad.",
"Miliband also urged greater burden sharing not only among NATO allies in Afghanistan but by the government.",
"\"There is a lot of talk, rightly, about burden sharing within the coalition, but the greatest burden sharing must be between the international community and the government of Afghanistan, which increasingly needs to take the lead -- the security lead, as well as the political lead -- in shaping the future of Afghanistan,\" Miliband said.",
"Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, told reporters that boosting the training of Afghan forces would be a big focus after Afghanistan's August 20 election.",
"When asked whether the country's August 20 election would be fair, Holbrooke, who just returned from the region, said he had heard complaints from all sides but was not \"unduly upset.\"",
"\"It's an extraordinary thing to hold an election in the middle of a war, and this is the first contested election in Afghanistan in history,\" Holbrooke said, adding the United States has no favorite candidate but only wants \"an election whose outcome is accepted as legitimate by the Afghan people and the world, which reflects the desires of those who vote.\"",
"July has been the deadliest month for U.S. and British forces since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, with 39 U.S. troops and 22 British troops killed.",
"Miliband said the effort was going through a \"tough phase,\" but added that the British people understood the \"vital nature\" of the mission to stabilize Afghanistan.",
"British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been under under enormous pressure from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's opposition, which charges that British troops don't have proper resources to fight the war, including helicopters.",
"But British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was sanguine.",
"\"I think the British people will stay with the mission to stabilize Afghanistan, because there is a clear strategy and a clear determination on behalf of the United States and other coalition members to see this through,\" British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, adding that the British people understood the mission to stabilize Afghanistan's \"vital nature.\"",
"Americans, too, have questioned whether the war in Afghanistan is winnable and worth the effort.",
"U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and members of Congress, including Democrats, have predicted that President Obama has a year to show progress in Afghanistan before public support for the mission to stabilize Afghanistan further erodes.",
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Britain and the United States \"have made significant gains in the recent operations\" against the Taliban, but \"there remains much work to be done.\"",
"\"We know that this is a challenge that is not going to be easily resolved in a short period of time,\" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, adding \"both of our countries are still threatened by the same enemy, an enemy that has attacked London, New York and Washington.\"",
"\"The United States and Britain know they've attacked The United States and Britain in the past, and, unfortunately, The United States and Britain know that they plot against The United States and Britain even today,\" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said."

"(CNN) --",
"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) --",
"And now, the rejects.",
"The photographs show the Boeing VC-25 making a steep bank not usually seen with passenger aircraft .",
"Three months after the White House released a single photograph taken during a photo op of \"Air Force One\" flying over New York -- a flight that caused panic on the streets below -- the U.S. Air Force on Friday released the remaining 145 photos taken during the flight.",
"The photographs show the Boeing VC-25 -- a military version of a 747 -- making three passes by the Statue of Liberty, at one point accompanied by an F-16 fighter jet and at another point making a steep bank not usually seen with passenger aircraft.",
"That latter move may have contributed to the chaos below.",
"The photographs and several lengthy government e-mail chains were released in response to Freedom of Information Act requests by CNN and other news organizations.",
"The e-mail chains show that the flight's government organizers were aware of many New Yorkers' fears of low-flying aircraft before the April 27 flight, and show a flurry of second-guessing, finger-pointing, damage control and occasional expressions of regret in the hours immediately after the flight.",
"Watch a compilation of still images of the flyover » .",
"\"Thanks for the heads up on sensitivities in the New York area,\" an Air Force colonel wrote in an e-mail two days before the flight.",
"\"This is an issue that PAG [the Presidential Airlift Group] has also been concerned with.",
"As a result, their coordination has been substantial.\"",
"But while the White House, the military and numerous federal and local government agencies coordinated the flight, the federal government demanded secrecy, preparing a news release that was to be distributed only if there were media inquiries.",
"media inquiries came during the morning flight, triggering a quick chain of e-mails among government officials.",
"\"We...need to construct some sort of timeline on when folks became aware of it if that is possible,\" one Air Force official wrote, responding to the public interest.",
"\"I agree Pentagon... need to accomplish damage control, but Pentagon aren't the POC [point of contact],\" the response reads.",
"\"Nor do I want to become a belly button for NORAD to push on this one.\"",
"Wrote one top Pentagon spokeswoman: \"Nothing like having everyone point the finger at someone else so we ALL look like a big bunch of buffoons... can you say Moe, Larry & Curly!??!?!\"",
"In addition to the informal e-mail banter, the documents show the regimented system the Pentagon uses to monitor and respond to breaking news stories.",
"A U.S. Northern Command document offers this \"assessment\" of the story: \"Last 4 hours: Story reported quickly.",
"Covered by AP, CNN, FOX major news outlets.",
"Local reporting very critical, highlighting 'scare' factor.",
"Local populace very critical of event, due to 9-11 sensitivities.\"",
"It continues: \"Web site blog comments 'furious' at best.",
"Twitter search reveals 'tweets' regarding two F-16's chasing commercial airliner.",
"Rate of 1 tweet per minute and growing.\"",
"\"No positive spin is possible.",
"Admit mistake,\" it concludes.",
"In another e-mail, USAF Col. Scott M. Turner, commander of the Presidential Airlift Group, was doing just that.",
"\"Again, my apologies sir.",
"Real intent here was to honor NYC, not cause mass chaos,\" it reads.",
"The next day, U.S. Northern Command's internal memo included depictions of New York's three major tabloids featuring the headlines, \"Scare Force One,\" \"Just Plane Stupid!\" and \"How Dumb Was This!\"",
"The photographs released Friday, meanwhile, show the presidential aircraft making a steep bank, seemingly well beyond the 30-degree maximum for Boeing 747s carrying passengers, according to one airline pilot consulted by CNN.",
"That may have contributed to the anxiety on the ground.",
"Pentagon estimated the cost of the flight at $328,835, which includes the Boeing aircraft and the two fighter jets that accompanied it.",
"But, Pentagon said, \"the hours would have been flown regardless, and the expenses would have been accrued on a different mission.\"",
"the presidential aircraft is designated \"Air Force One\" only when the president is aboard.",
"President Obama was not on the plane during the photo op.",
"After the incident, Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office responsible for the flyover, resigned.",
"\"I have concluded that the controversy surrounding the Presidential Airlift Group's aerial photo shoot over New York City has made it impossible for me to effectively lead the White House Military Office,\" Caldera said in a letter to Obama.",
"\"Moreover, it has become a distraction to the important work you are doing as president.",
"After much reflection, I believe it is incumbent on me to tender my resignation and step down as director of the White House Military Office.\""

"(CNN) -- One man's trash is another man's mystery.",
"Nick DiMola holds what Nick DiMola believes are about 60 artifacts and pieces of artifacts from Mexican government.",
"Five years ago, Nick DiMola's rubbish removal company was hired to clean out a Manhattan apartment following the death of the owner, abstract artist Clinton Hill.",
"The contents of a barrel that Nick DiMola salvaged from the trash then has today raised a series of questions.",
"What Nick DiMola holds are about 60 artifacts and pieces of artifacts that DiMola thinks are from Mexican government, dating to between 300 B.C. and 500 A.D.",
"The mystery, which the Mexican Consulate in New York is trying to solve, is twofold: How much are DiMola worth?",
"And, if authentic, whom do DiMola belong to?",
"Nick DiMola first saw the collection of pottery and figurines while cleaning Hill's apartment in 2004.",
"Nick DiMola stored the barrel in Nick DiMola's warehouse instead of disposing of it, then promptly forgot about it.",
"Last week, Nick DiMola rediscovered the pieces, only this time Nick DiMola told the New York Daily News about what Nick DiMola had found, announcing that Nick DiMola would sell DiMola.",
"That caught the attention of the Mexican government, which is studying the origins of the items and has claimed DiMola.",
"Now, Nick DiMola wants to donate Nick DiMola's find, but not necessarily to Mexican government, Nick DiMola told CNN.",

"Nick DiMola's curiosity about them was growing, and Nick DiMola was expecting an appraisal from the government officials.",

"\"It's a blow to the jaw.\"",
"Ruben Beltran, Mexican government's consul general in New York, was not available for comment Tuesday.",
"However in an interview with the U.S.-based Spanish-language TV network Telemundo, Nick DiMola said that if DiMola are part of Mexican culture, Mexican government will try to get them back.",
"But as of now, no one is certain what DiMola are.",
"Howard Nowes, an ancient art dealer who does appraisals, examined a handful of the pieces that Nick DiMola holds.",

"(CNN) --",
"Michael Jackson's life has ended, but the legal battles over Michael Jackson's possessions, Michael Jackson's debts and Jackson's children are likely just beginning.",
"Michael Jackson, seen here with two of Jackson's three children, died suddenly on Thursday.",
"Perhaps the biggest and saddest question is what will happen to Michael Jackson's two sons and Michael Jackson's daughter: 12-year-old Prince Michael I, 11-year-old Paris and 7-year-old Prince Michael II.",
"Normally in such cases, care of Jackson would be taken over by the surviving parent or a close relative.",
"But as with many other aspects of Michael Jackson's's life, Michael Jackson's family situation was complex, unusual and far from normal.",
"Born to two mothers -- Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe and an unidentified woman who reportedly served as a surrogate -- Jackson lived and traveled the world with Michael Jackson, Jackson's faces often covered by veils and masks when appearing in public.",
"Ex-wife gave up Ex-wife's parental rights to Ex-wife's two kids with Michael Jackson, but later battled to have them restored.",
"Ex-wife may be considered to take over custody for Prince Michael I and Paris, said CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who has followed Michael Jackson's legal woes for years.",
"\"Certainly any court that is looking at that sort of question will say, if the father dies who is Ex-wife and would we consider giving Jackson to Ex-wife?\" Toobin said.",
"\"As I understand it, in later years after a substantial amount of time when Ex-wife didn't see Jackson at all, Ex-wife started to have a relationship with Jackson again.",
"So Ex-wife'd certainly be an obvious candidate for custody of those two children.\"",
"Watch Toobin talk about Michael Jackson's legal issues » .",
"The question of custody for the third child would be even more up in the air since the third child's mother was likely never involved in the third child's life, Toobin added.",
"Jackson are staying with Jackson's paternal grandmother, Katherine Jackson, People magazine reported.",
"Katherine may just wind up keeping Jackson, observers said.",
"\"Katherine is the logical choice -- Katherine has all the grandkids and nieces around Katherine but it will be up to the courts,\" said Brian Oxman, a former Jackson family attorney, according to People.",
"\"I wouldn't be surprised if there are more proceedings regarding Jackson.\"",
"Complications may already be looming on the horizon.",
"Katherine Jackson may wish to keep Jackson, but Michael Jackson wanted Jackson to be taken care of by Jackson's nanny if anything happened to Michael Jackson, ABC News reported, quoting Stacey Brown, co- author of \"Michael Jackson Behind the Mask.\"",
"Meanwhile, Rowe's former attorney tells People that a judge returned parental rights to Rowe in 2005, so Ex-wife is the legal parent of Ex-wife's two children with Michael Jackson and can gain custody of them.",
"Chaotic legal life .",
"Instructions specifying who should care for children after a parent's death are often left in a will, but it's not known whether Michael Jackson had one prepared before Michael Jackson's untimely passing.",
"\"Michael Jackson led an extremely chaotic financial and legal life.",
"... Given how chaotic Michael Jackson's's life was, did Michael Jackson even have a will?\" Toobin said.",

"... The sad thing about that is that if it does, it will be part of a pattern that those of us who followed Michael Jackson's life saw, which is that ... lots of people with no talent, with none of Michael Jackson's charisma, with none of Michael Jackson's spirit, lawyers, publicists, hangers on who made money off of Michael Jackson's earnings continuing after Michael Jackson's death.\""

"Letting someone else deal with the day to day expenses of maintaining an automobile (and just paying for what you use) seems to be a novel idea.",
"Joining a \"car share,\" such as the popular Zipcar car sharing service, is gaining in popularity as consumers look to other ways to save money.",
"Car-sharing services let you avoid paying for gas and insurance, but there are fees and rules.",
"By using a car share, you're not only shedding monthly car payments, taxes, insurance and upkeep, but you can let someone else worry about whether the old rattle trap will make it another year.",
"You simply pay a fee and drive the car when you need the car.",
"By maximizing the utilization of a single automobile among many users, car sharing services claim car sharing services are helping to reduce pollution, too.",
"Every single Zipcar removes about 15 personal cars from the road, the company says.",
"Unclogging traffic and dialing back the amount of single-occupant vehicles burning fuel has a greening effect.",
"Reducing expenses and saving the polar ice caps aren't the only reasons; there's as much justification for joining a car share as you can dream up, from impressing the client at a business meeting with a fancy car to going over the river and through the woods for family gatherings, all without actually owning a car (or paying for a car's gas or insurance).",
"But is a car share for you?",
"The concept seems best suited to metro areas, where car insurance rates and parking costs can be high.",
"On the other hand, if you work out of your car, use your car on a daily basis or live in a more rural or expansive suburban region, you might be better off keeping your current car.",
"AOL Autos: Top 11 distracting things people do in people's cars .",
"\"The ideal candidates for car sharing are consumers and businesses in cities where owning a car is costly, where there is good public transit, and where most amenities are within walking distance,\" Zipcar President and COO Mark Norman said.",
"\"In other words, where you don't really need to own a car.",
"In addition, students are ideal car sharing members, given the high cost of ownership as well as the increasing limits on parking on campus.\"",
"AOL Autos: Cheapest cars to own .",
"Automobiles can be a huge hassle and expense if you only drive occasionally, so AOL Autos've set out to look at what car sharing involves.",
"AOL Autos: Pay as you drive insurance .",
"How does it work?",
"The biggest North American car share, Zipcar, aims to be convenient, easy, and technologically savvy.",
"Far more streamlined than an old-school rental car, Zipcar makes getting the use of an automobile about as easy as making a withdrawal from an ATM.",
"The concept of car sharing had The concept of car sharing's genesis in Europe and has spread to the North American market as interest in frugality and environmental consciousness has increased.",
"AOL Autos: Twenty cars of the future .",
"The first step to using Zipcar is signing up.",
"As a member, you'll get a \"Zipcard,\" which allows you to reserve a vehicle near you via the company's Web site or from a new iPhone application.",
"Once you've reserved a car (or truck -- the beauty of car sharing services is that you can get a big car when you need a big car, not when you don't), a pretty neat technology unlocks the doors when you walk near your vehicle (we won't bore you with the details, but if you're wondering, it's called radio frequency identification).",
"When it senses the card on you, the doors unlock, at which point, you're on your way.",
"Cars are located all over metro areas (Zipcar gives you a map to the location of the car you've booked).",
"While application approval is usually quick, it takes a few days to get the Zipcard mailed to you.",
"If your city has a Zipcard office, you can pick up your card there.",
"Where can you find car sharing?",
"Car shares are springing up across the U.S., but you're likely to find Car shares in major cities with a traffic problem.",
"Zipcar is the largest service of Zipcar's kind in the United States, maintaining a fleet of 6,500 automobiles that service 300,000-plus users.",
"Twenty-eight states have at least one Zipcar outpost, and Zipcar has expanded Zipcar's user base by 100 percent per year since 2004, so new service areas will spring up where demand supports Zipcar.",
"Zipcar also operates in Canada, as well as London in the UK.",
"The service is strongest on the coasts, with the Northeast being particularly thick with coverage, but even Des Moines, Iowa has Zipcars available.",
"Zipcar claims that as consumers are moving toward more \"access\" models (such as buying music by the song for your MP3 player), cars could also move in this direction.",
"\"Car sharing has always represented great value for consumers by giving them the freedom of car ownership without the cost and hassles,\" Zipcar's Norman said.",
"\"Now more than ever, in an economic recession and with gas prices on the rise, people and businesses are turning to car sharing.",
"In addition, in an era where people buy music by the song, driving a car by the hour makes a lot of sense.\"",
"Municipalities often tout car sharing if a service is available.",
"Check with your city to see if there are any plans to bring car sharing to your city.",
"What are the costs?",
"Since Zipcar is the most popular, we'll take a look at their fee structure for a sample of what car sharing might cost you.",
"Rates vary by city, but on average a Zipcar account costs $75 to startup and there's an annual fee of $50 for an occasional driving plan.",
"Additional drivers from the same household can be added to an account for $25 each.",
"Insurance and fuel are covered -- each Zipcar has a gas card for fillup time.",
"Overstay your reservation, and you'll get whacked for at least $50; late fees are $50 per hour with a $50 minimum.",
"Reminders can be set up so users aren't caught off guard by poor time-management.",
"Extra value plans wipe away the annual fee for a monthly commitment of at least $50.",
"Ideal for heavy users, the rates are lower across the board.",
"Businesses and Universities are also in Zipcar's crosshairs, and the Zipcar fleet could save many businesses money on company cars.",
"AOL Autos: Rental car prices can change in a heartbeat .",
"Zipcar touts Zipcar's fleet as the most diverse of Zipcar's kind with everything from Priuses to pickup trucks.",
"There are premium nameplates in Zipcar's fleet that command higher prices -- the cars for the image-conscious versus plain-jane driver.",
"Full-day rentals are $65, and a 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. business day runs $56.",
"Cars come with a full tank of fuel, and you get 180 miles per day before you start paying by the mile.",
"Other car sharing services .",
"Zipcar isn't the only game in town, of course.",
"Traditional car rental services offer one-way rentals, which Zipcar does not; this is something to consider depending on your travel plans.",
"Hertz has jumped into the breech with Hertz's \"Connect by Hertz\" product, a veritable clone of Zipcar.",
"Hertz only offers Hertz's service in five locations so far: New York City; Park Ridge, New Jersey; Ohio State University; Pepperdine University in California; and Washington D.C.",
"UHaul has also tossed its hat into the ring with its UCarShare service, mostly based around specific college campuses in a small number of locations.",
"UCarShare's rates are higher and terms more restrictive than Zipcar's.",
"Regional players also abound, most based around a particular region.",
"Bay area residents can use City Carshare, Chicago has I-GO, and there are small car sharing services in places like Denver, Philly, St. Louis, or Cleveland.",
"Rates for these competitors vary from on par to more expensive.",
"Terms of service may be different, some offering included miles, some charging for each mile -- it runs the gamut."

Waters, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco, looked at 9,955 people with an average age of 62 to see whether cholesterol-lowering efforts -- including taking medication or trying diet and exercise alone -- were having the intended effect.",
"For healthy people, the current target for LDL cholesterol is less than 160 mg/dL, and for those with two or more heart disease risk factors, LDL cholesterol's less than 130 mg/dL.",
"For people with heart disease, LDL should be less than 100 mg/dL and possibly even less than 70 mg/dL for those at super-high risk.",

"\"I obviously have extraordinary admiration for the courage and tenacity that Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has shown in navigating through some very difficult political times in Zimbabwe,\" President Obama said.",
"\"There was a time when Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of Africa, and [Zimbabwe] continues to have enormous potential.",
"Zimbabwe has gone through a very dark and difficult time politically.\"",
"Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe \"has not acted oftentimes in the best interest of the Zimbabwean people and has been resistant to the democratic changes that need to take place,\" President Obama said.",
"\"Tsvangirai now have a power-sharing agreement that shows promise, and Tsvangirai want to do everything Tsvangirai can to encourage the kinds of improvement not only on human rights and rule of law, freedom of the press and democracy that is so necessary, but also on the economic front.\"",
"The U.S. aid will not be going to Zimbabwe directly \"because we continue to be concerned about consolidating democracy, human rights and rule of law,\" President Obama said.",
"\"But it will be going directly to the people in Zimbabwe.\"",
"In a CNN interview following Tsvangirai's meeting with President Obama, Tsvangirai said Tsvangirai is grateful for the generosity.",
"\"Whether the generosity is humanitarian aid or transitional support, the generosity adds up to the relief that Zimbabwe is seeking,\" Tsvangirai said.",

"\"I think it's fair,\" Tsvangirai said.",
"\"I understand it, given Tsvangirai's history, and I'm not going to defend Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.\"",
"But, Tsvangirai noted, the two have agreed to work together and help Zimbabwe progress as a nation.",
"In remarks with President Obama, Tsvangirai said progress has been made by Zimbabwe, but much remains to be done.",
"\"It is the problems of implementation,\" Tsvangirai said.",
"\"... even by the standard of Tsvangirai's own benchmarks, there are gaps that still exist.\"",
"Tsvangirai said Tsvangirai would continue to strive to meet those benchmarks, not for the international community, but because \"it gives [the] people of Zimbabwe freedom and opportunity to grow.\"",
"The power-sharing arrangement between Tsvangirai, the leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe came after contested elections last year.",
"\"Of course we cannot brush away that history, that sad history,\" Tsvangirai told CNN.",

"Asked whether Tsvangirai believes Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe should retire, Tsvangirai said \"at the age of 85, I think one needs to retire.\"",
"But, Tsvangirai said, for Tsvangirai's own legacy, it's important for Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe to be thinking about a \"dignified exit.\"",

"Tsvangirai and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe have chosen the process of dialogue rather than violence, Tsvangirai said.",
"\"Let history judge whether this historic experiment was the right course of action.\"",

"Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority chairman, Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, hailed the event as proof that the region was still growing and performing well economically.",
"\"It is a clear indication of continuing international confidence in Abu Dhabi's robust and resilient economy.\"",
"Evidence of positive developments in the region's luxury yacht industry is written all over Abu Dhabi.",

"Rehman said Rolls Royce's results of were promising for the wider luxury industry -- and could also indicate potential growth for the region's luxury yacht industry.",
"\"Transportation and the entire infrastructure around transport are important to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).",
"There's significant investment being made in transportation, suggesting potential for growth in related industries.\"",
"However, despite the high-profile nature of the region's luxury yacht industry, Rehman feels there are still limitations.",
"\"the region is a relatively small market overall and the number of high-end buyers, while substantial, may be limited compared to regions with larger population bases.\"",
"Liz Martins, head of Middle East and North Africa in the Country Risk department at Business Monitor International, told CNN the current economic climate would have a lasting impact on the luxury sector.",
"\"I think it's an area where people will cut back.",
"There's still a lot of wealth out there but some of these people have lost a lot of money.\"",
"Liz Martins, head of Middle East and North Africa in the Country Risk department at Business Monitor International said the boom period of the last decade had reached unsustainable levels of growth and, although the region doesn't have a \"saving culture\" Liz Martins, head of Middle East and North Africa in the Country Risk department at Business Monitor International predicted some changes.",
"\"We're not forecasting recession for many Gulf states ... but the last few years have been debt-fueled boom and I just don't see things getting back to what things have been.\"",

"Angered by what Tamil leader perceived as the systemic discrimination of the minority Tamils by successive Sri Lankan governments, 18-year-old Velupillai Prabhakaran, armed with just a revolver, set out in 1972 to right the perceived wrongs by forming a militant group.",
"Sri Lanka's defense ministry says this handout photo shows troops with a captured Tamil Tiger craft.",

"Along the way, group has been declared a terrorist organization in 32 countries, pioneered the use of women in suicide attacks and, according to FBI, invented the suicide belt.",
"It was also behind the assassination of two world leaders -- the only terrorist organization to do so.",
"Over the weekend, the militants offered to \"silence\" the rebels's guns after an intense military offensive decimated the rebels's ranks, usurping the rebels from the rebels's stronghold in the north and east of Sri Lanka's, and cornered the remaining rebels on a small stretch of land.",
"Watch more on the possible end to the conflict » .",
"On Monday afternoon, Sri Lanka's said Sri Lanka's had killed Prabhakaran.",
"If the rebels now follow through on the rebels's announcement, the action will potentially mark the end of the longest-running civil war in Asia.",

"the Tamils mostly dominate the northern and eastern part of Sri Lanka's.",
"the Tamils are mostly Hindu and speak Tamil.",
"That sets the Tamils apart from Sri Lanka's's majority group, the Sinhalese, who make up 74 percent of the population.",
"They are Buddhists and speak Sinhala.",
"The tension between the two ethnic groups date to the British colonization of Sri Lanka's -- an island in the Indian Ocean, south of India.",
"At the time, Sri Lanka's was known as Ceylon.",
"Many Sri Lankans regarded the Tamils as British collaborators and resented the preferential treatment they received.",
"The tables turned when Sri Lanka's achieved independence in 1948 and the Sinhalese majority dominated government.",
"It was the Tamils then who claimed the Tamils were being discriminated against in politics, employment and education.",
"By the 1970s Tamil politicians were demanding a separate Tamil state.",
"a separate Tamil state would be called Tamil Eelam.",
"In this climate Tamil leader emerged with Tamil leader's militant group, formally known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.",

"It led to, what was until then, the largest outburst of violence in the island's history.",
"Hundreds of Tamils were killed, thousands left homeless and more than 100,000 fled to south India.",

"In addition to perpetrating the attacks that killed Gandhi and Premadasa, group have carried out the assassinations of two lawmakers and four ministers.",
"A suicide bomber targeted Sri Lankan then-President Chandrika Kumaratunga in December 1999 while she was campaigning for re-election.",
"She was wounded but survived.",
"group, however, have refrained from targeting Western tourists out of fear that foreign governments would crack down on Tamil expatriates who raise money for them abroad, the U.S. State Department said.",

"Periodically fighting has briefly halted because of a handful of peace agreements.",
"By February 2002 group had dropped group's demands for a separate homeland in exchange for a power-sharing deal with Sri Lanka's.",
"Norway and some other countries agreed to monitor the ceasefire.",
"A year later group dropped out of the negotiations, saying group were being marginalized.",

"Beginning Saturday, travelers will be able to leave laptops in bags that meet TSA screening requirements.",
"But savvy travelers can begin ignoring that commandment of air travel beginning Saturday, when the Transportation Security Administration begins recognizing the latest innovation in aviation security -- checkpoint-friendly computer bags.",
"TSA said TSA has worked with bag manufacturers to address one of the biggest frustrations of air travelers, the need to remove computers from carry-on bags and place computers in bins.",
"TSA asked manufacturers to design bags that give X-ray machines a clear, unobstructed view of the laptops.",
"Some 60 manufacturers responded to TSA's solicitation, with 40 of Some 60 manufacturers submitting prototypes for testing.",
"About a dozen manufacturers are currently advertising checkpoint-friendly bags.",
"Many of checkpoint-friendly bags are deceptively simple.",
"One common design resembles a clam shell.",
"The case unzips into two, with one side holding the computer and the other holding computer peripherals, keys and other personal items.",
"All of the bags are devoid of metal zippers, clips and buckles on the side of the bag that holds the computer.",
"Learn about TSA's laptop bag requirements » .",

"\"Sign me up,\" said traveler Seth Robertson, who was carrying a computer bag and a large, stuffed pony, a present for a friend in Nicaragua.",
"Getting the computer through the checkpoint was more difficult than the stuffed animal, he said.",
"\"The laptop, I have to take out of the bag and put The laptop separately,\" Robertson said, whereas the pony, Robertson could \"just stuff right through.\"",
"Screeners didn't even look the gift horse in the mouth.",
"TSA says about one-third of all air travelers carry laptops.",

"Editor's note: This story is based on interrogation reports that form part of the prosecution case in the forthcoming trial of six Belgian citizens charged with participation in a terrorist group.",
"Versions of those documents were obtained by CNN from the defense attorney of one of those suspects.",
"The statement by Bryant Vinas was compiled from an interview Bryant Vinas gave Belgian prosecutors in March 2009 in New York and was confirmed by U.S. prosecutors as authentic.",
"The statement by Walid Othmani was given to French investigators and was authenticated by Belgian prosecutors.",
"Al Qaeda recruits say Al Qaeda recruits received training in how to handle rockets, explosives and bombs.",
"(CNN)",
"-- The interrogations of two accused Westerners who say they trained and fought with Al Qaeda in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region provide an inside view of the terror group's organizational structures.",
"Arguably, The interrogations of two accused Westerners who say they trained and fought with al Qaeda in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region shed more light on the state of Al Qaeda than any material previously released into the public domain.",
"The documents reveal training programs and the protective measures the terrorist organization has taken against increasingly effective U.S. missile strikes.",
"Bryant Vinas -- a U.S. citizen who says Bryant Vinas traveled to Pakistan in September 2007 to fight against Americans in Afghanistan -- stated that between March and July 2008 Bryant Vinas attended three Al Qaeda training courses, which focused on weapons, explosives, and rocket-based or -propelled weaponry.",
"During these classes, attended by 10-20 recruits, Bryant Vinas was taught how to handle a large variety of weapons and explosives, some of them of military grade sophistication, according to Bryant Vinas's account.",
"Read how Al Qaeda is now operating .",
"Bryant Vinas stated Bryant Vinas became familiar with seeing, smelling and touching different explosives such as TNT, as well as plastic explosives such as RDX, Semtex, C3 and C4 -- the explosive U.S. authorities have stated was used in Al Qaeda's attack on the USS Cole in 2000.",
"Bryant Vinas also learned how to make vests for suicide bombers.",
"Bryant Vinas stated Bryant Vinas was also instructed how to prepare and place fuses, how to test batteries, how to use voltmeters and how to build circuitry for a bomb.",
"Read how Bryant Vinas met with Al Qaeda leaders .",
"According to Bryant Vinas's account, Al Qaeda also offered a wide variety of other courses including electronics, sniper, and poisons training.",
"Instruction in the actual construction of bombs, Bryant Vinas stated, was offered to Al Qaeda recruits who had become more advanced in al Qaeda's training.",
"Bryant Vinas's training during this period was very similar to the training described by members of a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008.",
"Walid Othmani, a French recruit, stated a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008 were given explosives training and taught how to fire rocket launchers and RPGs.",
"Othmani provided French interrogators with an account of Othmani's time in Pakistan after being arrested on Othmani's return to Europe.",
"Three other members of Othmani's group are now in Belgian custody awaiting trial for \"participation in a terrorist group.\"",
"Belgian prosecutors told CNN Othmani has been charged in France with participation in a criminal conspiracy with the aim of preparing a terrorist act.",
"A Belgian legal document detailing his interrogation report was obtained by CNN.",
"Like Vinas, Othmani said a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008 had been required to sign forms before a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008's training.",
"Othmani stated Othmani's group was required to pledge absolute obedience to a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008's handlers and indicate whether a French-Belgian group who also spent time in the tribal areas of Pakistan in 2008 wanted to become suicide bombers.",
"Othmani provided interesting new details about the training facilities being used by Al Qaeda in the tribal areas.",
"Othmani's group trained in a small mountain shack, a far cry from the large camps Al Qaeda had run in Taliban-era Afghanistan, when it had been able to operate with little danger of being targeted by military strikes.",
"Othmani's account made clear that Al Qaeda has had to decentralize Al Qaeda's operations in Pakistan in response to the growing effectiveness of U.S. Predator strikes.",
"However the wide number of training courses described by both Vinas and Othmani suggest that Al Qaeda has been able to adapt well to the new security environment.",
"By operating a larger number of smaller facilities, Al Qaeda would also appear to have increased Al Qaeda's resilience to attack.",
"Read how Al Qaeda is looking for Western targets .",
"While the classrooms are safer from drone attacks than the pre-9/11 sessions on the mountainsides the content seems to have changed to match new targeting plans.",
"Suicide vest and IED construction show how the curriculum is being modified for today's combat with U.S. troops in Afghanistan.",
"Making and handling explosives, as well as fuse construction, show the sessions may also be geared for killing in Europe and the United States.",
"These are the very skills the July 7, 2005 London bombers Shehzad Tanweer and Mohammed Siddique Khan came to Pakistan to learn.",
"Al Qaeda, it would seem, may still want to pull off the spectacular attack in Europe or the United States.",
"Bryant Vinas says Bryant Vinas took a course in propelled weaponry with Hicham Bouhali Zrioul, a former taxi driver in Brussels, Belgium, whom Bryant Vinas first met in March 2008 and formed a friendship with.",
"Bryant Vinas stated that when they completed their training, Al Qaeda instructors did a written evaluation of their performance.",
"Bryant Vinas had been judged qualified to participate in missile attacks against U.S. and NATO bases in Afghanistan, according to Bryant Vinas's account.",
"That suggests Al Qaeda has maintained Al Qaeda's capacity for administration and paperwork even in a harsher security environment.",
"When their training finished in the summer of 2008, Vinas and Zrioul lived in the same house in the mountains of Waziristan.",
"Zrioul managed to acquire a computer which Zrioul rigged up to watch jihadist videos.",
"During a mountain walk with Zrioul one day, Bryant Vinas says Bryant Vinas was told about a new course being taught by Al Qaeda called \"international operations\" set up by Al Qaeda's head of international operations whom Vinas later identified as Abu Hafith.",
"Hafith, he stated, was responsible for recruitment and direction of terrorist cells, and attacks outside Pakistan and Afghanistan.",
"Hafith was identified by Hafith's initials in the legal document but CNN obtained Hafith's name from a source briefed on the case.",
"Hafith is believed to be still at large in the Pakistan-Afghan border area.",
"Bryant Vinas was told that the training course that Hafith set up focused on kidnapping and assassination, including instruction on the use of silencers and how to break into and enter a property.",
"The revelations raise the possibility that Al Qaeda was developing a program of targeted assassinations.",
"Though Al Qaeda has carried out some assassinations in the past, most of Al Qaeda's attacks in the West have not targeted any particular individuals but crowded areas, such as mass transport.",
"According to Othmani, Al Qaeda fighters totaled between 300-500 in Pakistan's Tribal Areas -- spread out in groups of 10.",
"Such decentralization was a function of the growing deadliness of U.S. Predator strikes.",
"Hicham Beyayo, a Belgian jihadist volunteer, said Al Qaeda moved around a lot because such strikes were known to be \"very effective,\" his lawyer Christophe Marchand, told CNN.",
"The loss of an increasing number of operatives, stated Othmani, prompted an order from Al Qaeda's top command for fighters to remain inside as much as possible.",
"In order to keep in touch, jihadists operated a courier service across the region, according to the Frenchman's testimony.",
"The decentralization of Al Qaeda's structures appears to have created some costs for recruits.",
"Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody describe feeling increasingly cut off, bored, and fed up with the primitive living conditions in Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody's mountain shacks, according to documents obtained by CNN and the defense lawyer of one of those charged.",
"Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody often did not seem to know what Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody's next orders would be or where Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody's handlers would take Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody.",
"Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody also described being deeply frustrated at being repeatedly given false promises that Two members of the Belgian-French group now in custody would be able to fight in Afghanistan.",
"Othmani also described the Belgian-French group's frustration at having to pay for the Belgian-French group's own weapons and training -- at a cost of 1,300 euros each (about $1,800) -- which if true might lend credence to reports that Al Qaeda has come under financial strain.",
"Bryant Vinas, for Bryant Vinas's part, made no mention of having to make payments to Bryant Vinas's handlers.",
"Bryant Vinas and Othmani's accounts also suggest that Al Qaeda may be having leadership problems.",
"While able to find fresh recruits to replace those killed and arrested, Al Qaeda seems to have more difficulty replacing senior military trainers and other key operational figures.",
"A former U.S. government official, specializing in counter-terrorism, commented that the insider accounts suggest the same people are leading training as a decade ago.",
"The only difference, there are fewer of the same people."

"Alfonso Torress-Cook is part of a growing movement in medicine that no longer accepts hospital-acquired infections as inevitable complications.",
"Every year, such infections sicken 1.7 million and kill 99,000 people in the United States.",
"At Pacific Hospital, Alfonso Torress-Cook doesn't go after all bacteria, just the dangerous ones.",
"The staff members at the 184-bed hospital use antibiotics sparingly, feed patients yogurt to replenish healthy bacteria in the gut and bathe patients daily, using a soap that maintains the natural pH of the patient's skin, killing only bacteria that don't belong there.",
"Meet some of the people fighting hospital-acquired infections » .",
"Alfonso Torress-Cook is also obsessive about hygiene: Nurses clean under patients' fingernails and brush patients''s teeth daily.",
"Alfonso Torress-Cook also enlisted Pacific Hospital's cleaning crew as part of the infection-fighting team.",
"Rooms receive a thorough cleaning every day -- more than simply emptying the trash and mopping the floor, Alfonso Torress-Cook says.",
"Under Torress-Cook, Pacific Hospital's infection rate for the so-called superbug MRSA is down to 0.01 per 1,000 discharges, 430 times better than the national average.",
"Approximately one out of every 22 patients who checks into a U.S. hospital acquires a bacterial infection, adding more than $28 billion to health care costs, according to a 2009 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"But there are signs of improvement.",
"Pennsylvania, which requires the most extensive reporting of hospital-acquired infections, saw the annual rate for all infections drop 8 percent, according to the most recent figures available from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council.",
"And there are other signs of progress.",
"The development and use of a simple checklist for a common procedure that threads a so-called central line to supply medicine directly to the bloodstream has been extraordinarily effective.",
"a simple checklist for a common procedure that threads a so-called central line to supply medicine directly to the bloodstream made central line infections almost nonexistent at the 108 intensive care units in Michigan that adopted a simple checklist for a common procedure that threads a so-called central line to supply medicine directly to the bloodstream.",
"More than 1,700 lives -- and $246 million -- were saved in the first three years a simple checklist for a common procedure that threads a so-called central line to supply medicine directly to the bloodstream was adopted, according to the state hospital association.",
"a simple checklist for a common procedure that threads a so-called central line to supply medicine directly to the bloodstream is now being adopted in all 50 states and three countries: the United Kingdom, Spain and Peru, says checklist designer Dr. Peter Pronovost, from Johns Hopkins University and Hospitals.",
"At hospitals large and small, raising the head of the bed for patients on ventilators, brushing patients' teeth and taking other precautions have dramatically reduced ventilator-associated pneumonia, another common and costly infection.",
"Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, has used these techniques to cut its ventilator-associated pneumonia rate by more than half, to 2.7 cases per 1,000 ventilator days.",
"\"Our goal is zero,\" says Michelle Farber, a registered nurse who is Mercy's senior infection preventionist.",
"Simply requiring hospitals to report hospitals's infections has forced hospitals to be more accountable to hospitals's patients, says Lisa McGiffert, who heads Consumers Union's Stop Hospital Infections campaign, which among other things has pushed for more transparency.",
"Twenty-six states now have laws requiring hospitals to report rates for urinary tract and other infections.",
"Paul Levy, CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, is a big fan of publishing infection rates.",
"Paul Levy, CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts puts the hospital's rates on the hospital's's Web site and on Paul Levy, CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts's blog.",
"Simply putting the spotlight on hospital-acquired infections keeps the staff focused, Paul Levy, CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts says.",
"Hospitals also have a new financial incentive to cut infections.",
"As of October 1, 2008, Medicare no longer pays hospitals for the added costs incurred by patients who develop catheter-related urinary tract infections and other catheter- or surgery-related infections.",
"McGiffert says there's been a cultural shift in the past five years.",
"\"I think it's moving us toward eradication of infection or at least where infections are rare and will not be accepted,\" she says."

"Jackson knew \"exactly how Jackson's fate would be played out\" and feared Jackson's death would echo that of Elvis Presley, Lisa-Marie Presley wrote in an online blog posted Friday morning.",
"Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley in 1994.",
"Lisa-Marie Presley says, \"I loved Jackson very much\" and believes Jackson loved Lisa-Marie Presley.",
"Presley -- the daughter of Elvis, the \"King of Rock,\" and the ex-wife of Jackson, the \"King of Pop\" -- wrote on Lisa-Marie Presley's MySpace page that Lisa-Marie Presley wanted \"to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.\"",
"Lisa-Marie Presley's publicist confirmed Lisa-Marie Presley wrote an online blog posted Friday morning.",
"Lisa-Marie Presley said Lisa-Marie Presley's short marriage to Jackson -- from May 1994 until January 1996 -- \"was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press,\" but Lisa-Marie Presley divorced Jackson because Lisa-Marie Presley was \"in over my head in trying\" to save Jackson \"from the inevitable, which is what has just happened.\"",
"Jackson talked with Lisa-Marie Presley about Jackson's death during \"a deep conversation\" 14 years ago about \"the circumstances of my father's death.\"",
"Watch more from Lisa-Marie Presley on Jackson » .",
"\"At some point Jackson paused, Jackson stared at Lisa-Marie Presley very intensely and Jackson stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like Elvis Presley, the way Elvis Presley did,",
"' \" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"\"I promptly tried to deter Jackson from the idea, at which point Jackson just shrugged Jackson's shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, Jackson knew what Jackson knew and that was kind of that.\"",
"That conversation haunted Lisa-Marie Presley as Lisa-Marie Presley watched television coverage of Jackson's death Thursday, Lisa-Marie Presley said.",
"\"I am sitting here watching on the news [as] an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears,\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"\"A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.\"",
"Elvis Presley collapsed in the bathroom of Elvis Presley's Memphis, Tennessee, mansion -- Graceland -- on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42.",
"While Elvis Presley's death was ruled the result of an irregular heartbeat, the autopsy report was sealed amid accusations that abuse of prescription drugs caused the problem.",
"\"As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play the exact scenario I saw happen on August 16, 1977, happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as Jackson predicted, I am truly, truly gutted,\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"\"I wanted to 'save Jackson',\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"\"I wanted to save Jackson from the inevitable, which is what has just happened.\"",
"\"The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let Jackson's fate have Jackson, even though I desperately loved Jackson and tried to stop or reverse it somehow,\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"Their marriage, which some suggested was only to help Jackson's image, was real, Lisa-Marie Presley said.",
"\"It was an unusual relationship, yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'normal life' found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on Jackson's part,\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"\"Nonetheless, I do believe Jackson loved me as much as Jackson could love anyone and I loved Jackson very much.\"",
"Lisa-Marie Presley called Jackson \"an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.\"",
"\"When Jackson used it for something good, it was the best and when Jackson used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad,\" Lisa-Marie Presley wrote.",
"Lisa-Marie Presley's blog entry ended with a thank you to those who would read Presley's blog entry.",

"(CNN) -- Manny Pacquiao's two-round demolition of Ricky Hatton has set up the prospect of the biggest money-spinning fight in the history of boxing.",
"Manny Pacquiao lands a solid right to Ricky Hatton on Manny Pacquiao's way to a comprehensive victory.",
"Manny Pacquiao knocked out the plucky but outclassed Briton in Las Vegas on Saturday night -- earning Manny Pacquiao by a conservative estimate at least $2 million dollars per minute.",
"Hatton, who could well now hang up his gloves, will pocket more than $8 million as a consolation.",
"Manny Pacquiao's all-action style is popular with boxing followers and in Manny Pacquiao's native Philippines the theaters which screened Manny Pacquiao's fight live with Ricky Hatton were sold out well in advance with a ferocious demand for tickets.",
"But the really big money lies in the Pay Per View (PPV) revenues generated by the U.S. Home Box Office (HBO) network.",
"USA Today reported Monday that early indications from cable companies were that the scheduled 12-round light-welterweight bout could get as many as two million buys.",
"Co-promoter Bob Arum was delighted with the figures especially as initial estimates were suggesting about one million boxing fans would shell out their cash.",
"\"We know based on those early numbers and based on experience the event will perform extremely well.",
"If I had to guess, anywhere between 1.6 million and two million homes, which is a home run,\" Co-promoter Bob Arum said.",
"The record for a PPV event is the 2.4 million buys for 'Golden Boy' Oscar De La Hoya's May 2007 fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., which generated a staggering $134 million in revenue.",
"Mayweather, who also beat Ricky Hatton in another 'superfight' at the back end of 2007, astutely chose Saturday night in Vegas to announce Mayweather was coming out of retirement.",
"Mayweather, nicknamed 'money' because of the enormous revenues Mayweather generates, will face Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18 in Mayweather's return to the ring.",
"But the talk of the boxing world is an eventual match up against Manny Pacquiao with the notional pound for pound title at stake as well as a massive pay day.",
"\"If Mayweather wants a piece of the 'little Filipino', just be my guest,\" Arum said before the dust had barely settled on the Ricky Hatton fight.",
"With the flamboyant De La Hoya retired after being handed a painful beating by Manny Pacquiao at the back end of 2008, the mantle of PPV king is set to fall to one of the two men who ended his ring career.",
"Despite the global recession, the appetite for top prize fighting remains strong, but it is the more flamboyant characters who draw the biggest audiences.",
"Last November's HBO clash between former pound for pound champion Roy Jones Jr. and the brilliant undefeated Welsh world champion Joe Calzaghe drew less than 250,000 buys.",
"The only potential obstacle to a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout, the dangerous Marquez aside, is the relative sizes of the two men.",
"Mayweather is a natural welterweight and would want a fight at 147 pounds, with Pacquiao, who started his remarkable career at light-flyweight, wanting the match at a lower weight.",
"But big business and money is set to talk and many predict the showdown will come late this year, almost certainly in Las Vegas."

"Baz Luhrmann's is the type of director for whom the word innovative was invented.",
"Baz Luhrmann's and Baz Luhrmann's's costume designer wife Catherine Martin, who is a long time collaborator.",
"With a filmography comprising of just three full-length feature films, (and one currently in post-production) Baz Luhrmann's has produced a stunning and highly visual body of work that is loved and loathed in equal measures.",
"Baz Luhrmann's's films have a tendency to suck the viewer up into a swirling vortex of lush imagery and a lavish production style, often with a frenetic pace that one critic described as being like \"a madman on Benzedrine\".",
"But there is a method to Luhrmann's madness.",
"The trio of films, \"Strictly Ballroom,\" an adaptation of William Shakespeare's \"Romeo and Juliet\" and \"Moulin Rouge!\" all form part of a specific filmmaking technique described by Luhrmann as \"The Red Curtain\" cinema.",
"Luhrmann incorporates traditional theatrical conventions into Baz Luhrmann's's films and morphs them to create visual treats in stories set in heightened otherworlds.",
"Simple devices like song and dance are then used to drive the action.",
"Baz Luhrmann's always surrounds Baz Luhrmann's with the same creative team for all of Baz Luhrmann's's projects.",
"Baz Luhrmann's's wife, production and costume designer Catherine Martin, who is known as CM, is intrinsic to Baz Luhrmann's's striking visual style.",
"In Baz Luhrmann's's directorial debut \"Strictly Ballroom,\" Baz Luhrmann's injected dazzling colors and energetic dance moves into the stuffy world of ballroom dancing and was credited with making the genre hip again.",
"Luhrmann himself was a ballroom dancer from the age of six, and the film reflects Baz Luhrmann's's affection for and intimate knowledge of that world.",
"An intensely personal director who always draws on Baz Luhrmann's's own experiences, Baz Luhrmann's told CNN's The Screening Room: \"Art and life cannot be separated, Art and life feed each other and creative decisions are based on what will make life rich and what will enrich the story telling.",
"What I make comes from a personal level.\"",
"It paid off for \"Strictly Ballroom,\" which became a global hit, winning eight Australian Film Institute Awards, three BAFTAs, and the Cannes Film Festival's Prix de Jeunesse in 1992.",
"In 1996, Baz Luhrmann's worked his magic again in \"William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet,\" an MTV-style version of the classic love story set in latter-day Miami Beach, complete with warring gangs wielding automatic weapons.",
"But it was in \"Moulin Rouge!\" that the Red Curtain's opulent and extravagant theatrical style would explode in, spectacular, some would say violent, fashion.",
"Starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, it explored a young writer's foray into the bohemian underworld of Montmartre, Paris.",
"Following the film's box-office success Baz Luhrmann's landed a highly lucrative Chanel contract, making a Red Curtain-inspired 2004 film for Chanel No. 5, starring Nicole Kidman.",
"At $36m, it is reputedly one of the most expensive adverts of all time.",
"Baz Luhrmann's began Baz Luhrmann's's film career as an actor, training at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney, but it wasn't long before Baz Luhrmann's was employing Baz Luhrmann's's flamboyant and creative talent behind the scenes.",
"What seems to drive Baz Luhrmann's is Baz Luhrmann's's huge passion and appetite for all art forms.",
"Baz Luhrmann's is a veritable Jack-of-all trades: a writer-director who has produced theatre and opera pieces, worked as a guest editor for Australian Vogue and in 1999, Baz Luhrmann's scored a surprise-hit single with \"Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen).\"",
"Following Baz Luhrmann's's Red Curtain trilogy, Baz Luhrmann's planned to move onto epic storytelling.",
"Baz Luhrmann's started work on a retelling of Alexander the Great, set to star Leonardo DiCaprio.",
"But the film was set aside when Oliver Stone's version was released -- and flopped -- in 2004.",
"\"\"My next great passion after musicals is the epic-- telling a recognizable universal story using a vast canvas of a far away place and historical events,\" Baz Luhrmann's tells CNN.",
"\"I embarked on that in my exploration of doing Alexander the Great.",
"At one stage, I was collaborating with DreamWorks and Steven Spielberg.",
"\"We were looking at sets around the world and studios were built in Northern Africa and Thailand.",
"It got a long way down the road but for various reasons, not just because of the competing project, we walked away from it,\" Baz Luhrmann's explains.",
"\"For where we were in our life particularly because we were embarking on a very personal part of our story to have children, it wasn't right.",
"\"It's all about the timing and what is right for your life in that moment in time.",
"We walked away from that and I never regret that for a second.\"",
"After a seven-year hiatus, during which Baz Luhrmann's and CM have had two \"magical, incredible children,\" Luhrmann has finally made Baz Luhrmann's's epic film, simply titled \"Australia,\" with a budget of $130m, making it the expensive movie ever made in the country.",
"\"Australia\" is a love letter to the country.",
"In it Nicole Kidman plays an English aristocrat who travels to 1930s Australia to sell a cattle ranch.",
"A grueling journey across country with a rough drover (Hugh Jackman) ends with the pair witnessing the Japanese bombardment of Darwin at the start of the Second World War.",
"\"It's been a long time since we've had those huge banquet like motion pictures, when I was a kid, if a big epic was coming it was a big event and the whole family went,\" Luhrmann says.",
"\"It's big drama, comedy, landscape -- a huge banquet and I would like to invite the audience to this cinematic table.\"",
"Luhrmann is unsure if the departure from his normal style is a good career move but is adamant \"it's a good life move.\"",
"\"We found our inner spirit enlivened again,\" he says.",
"Luhrmann, (unlike CM), has been thus far overlooked for an Oscar award, but \"Australia,\" a big, bold movie with a vast emotional landscape is just the sort of film the Academy loves.",
"Come 2009, it seems they will no longer be able to ignore Luhrmann's considerable -- and -- inimitable talents.",

"The World Health Organization cautioned that the swine flu outbreak could gain momentum in the months ahead, despite claims by the health secretary of Mexico -- the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak -- that virus \"is in virus's declining phase.\"",
"The number of confimed cases of virus continue to multiply.",
"the swine flu outbreak is only about 10 days old, and even if illness is declining, it could return, said Gregory Hartl, the WHO spokesman for epidemic and pandemic diseases, at a briefing Sunday.",
"\"I ... would like to remind people that in 1918 the Spanish flu showed a surge in the spring, and then disappeared in the summer months, only to return in the autumn of 1918 with a vengeance,\" Hartl said.",
"\"And we know that that eventually killed 40 million to 50 million people.\"",
"Mexican authorities believe virus's most active period in Mexico was between April 23 and April 28, and Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova described the swine flu outbreak as being in decline in Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova's country.",
"As of late Sunday, Mexican health officials reported 568 cases and 22 fatalities linked to the Spanish flu.",
"WHO says it has confirmed 506 cases and 19 deaths in Mexico.",
"The world has 898 confirmed cases of virus, known to scientists H1N1 virus, in a total of 18 countries, WHO said Sunday.",
"The United States has reported 226 confirmed cases in 30 states.",
"226 confirmed cases include one death -- a Mexican toddler visiting relatives in The United States.",
"According to WHO, Canada has 70 confirmed cases; the United Kingdom has 15; Spain has 13; Germany has 6; New Zealand has 4; Israel has 3; France has 2; and Austria, China, South Korea, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Costa Rica and Ireland each have one.",
"In China, officials have quarantined 68 people, including 13 crew members, who were passengers of a Mexico City to Shanghai flight, which carried a passenger who tested positive for the virus, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Sunday.",
"None of the other passengers has exhibited any flu-like symptoms, one health official said.",
"About another 110 people who were on the Aeromexico plane went on to other destinations, and may face quarantines elsewhere, China's state-run Xinhua news agency said.",
"Fifteen have been quarantined at a Beijing hotel.",
"Shanghai's airport is now barring other Aeromexico planes from landing there, a representative of Aeromexico told CNN.",
"Aeromexico is suspending flights to Shanghai until May 15, a representative of the airline said.",

"California officials suspended visitation and other \"nonessential activities\" at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County after an inmate was suspected of having swine flu.",
"The case has yet to be confirmed with lab testing.",
"On Sunday, health officials in North Carolina and Pennsylvania announced the first confirmed cases in those states, and Louisiana's governor said Louisiana's governor's state had seven confirmed cases.",
"seven confirmed cases were not immediately included in the CDC tally.",
"In Washington, U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, appearing on CNN's \"State of the Union,\" warned that even if the flu outbreak wanes, \"it could come back with greater force in the winter and fall, when we get into flu season.\"",
"\"So, this is no time for complacency,\" U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius said.",
"\"We want to stay out ahead of this.\"",
"Dr. Anne Schuchat, the CDC's interim deputy director for public health, told reporters Sunday that she was \"heartened\" by Mexican authorities' reports but still is \"very cautious.\"",
"\"I know that influenza can be surprising, and the time course here in the United States is later.",
"We believe we're just on the upswing here, and in several parts of Mexico, cases began quite a while ago,\" Schuchat said.",
"\"From what I know about influenza, I do expect more cases, more severe cases and I do expect more deaths,\" she added.",
"\"And I'm particularly concerned about what will happen in the fall.\"",
"Acting CDC Director Richard Besser, also speaking on \"State of the Union,\" said U.S. health officials are examining whether people who received flu shots for the swine flu in 1976 may have some level of protection from the current swine flu.",
"\"That's going to play in very, very big as we move forward with our plans around vaccines, because that may help guide some of the issues around who is most at risk at getting this in the future,\" Acting CDC Director Richard Besser said.",
"Offering a general picture of the state of U.S. efforts to combat virus, Acting CDC Director Richard Besser said \"there are encouraging signs.\"",
"\"We're not out of the woods yet,\" Acting CDC Director Richard Besser said.",
"\"But what we've learned about virus -- virus doesn't contain the factors that we know are seen in much more severe flu strains.\"",
"While the new virus strain in the swine flu outbreak has affected humans, Canadian officials said the new virus strain in the recent outbreak has shown up at a pig farm in Alberta, Canada.",
"Officials said the pigs may have been infected by a Canadian farmer who recently returned from a trip to Mexico, the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak.",
"the pigs have since been quarantined.",
"\"We have determined that the virus H1N1, found in the pigs, is the virus which is being tracked in the human population,\" said Dr. Brian Evans of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.",
"iReport.com:",
"How should H1N1 be handled?",
"Evans and other officials said it is not uncommon for flu viruses to jump from humans to animals, and that it does not pose a risk for consuming pork.",
"The number of pigs infected was not disclosed.",
"a Canadian farmer who recently returned from a trip to Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak had flu-like symptoms, but a Canadian farmer who recently returned from a trip to Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak is recovering, Dr. Brian Evans of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.",

"Maybe marriage to Kate Winslet isn't all that bad.",
"Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski star as a couple on the road in the comedy \"Away We Go.\"",
"After cruelly dissecting marital malaise in \"American Beauty\" and again, just six months ago, in \"Revolutionary Road,\" Winslet's husband Sam Mendes takes a slightly more optimistic view of family life in the edgy comedy \"Away We Go.\"",
"Not that Winslet's husband Sam Mendes's offering a whole-hearted endorsement of the institution.",
"Burt and Verona (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph) aren't legally bound -- Verona staunchly resists Burt's repeated proposals -- but nevertheless John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph're a couple about to go nuclear: Verona's six months pregnant.",
"Burt sells insurance to insurance companies.",
"Verona's an illustrator with a lucrative line in anatomical drawings.",
"Nevertheless, John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph're struggling to make ends meet.",
"\"Are we losers?\" wonders Verona (only Verona uses a more colorful expression).",
"\"John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph have cardboard windows...",
"I think John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph must be.\"",
"Insomuch as John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph have a plan at all, it hinges on the support John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph're expecting from Burt's doting parents.",
"So it's a nasty wake-up call when Jerry and Gloria (Jeff Daniels and Catherine O'Hara) announce John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph're taking off for a new life in Belgium -- yes, even before the baby's out.",
"There is a silver lining: Realizing John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph no longer have any reason to stay, Burt and Verona decide to widen John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph's horizons.",
"John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph could move to Arizona where Verona's sister lives.",
"Burt has a job prospect in Madison, Wisconsin.",
"Or John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph have college friends in Montreal.",
"John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph's destiny awaits John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, all John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph have to do is go out and find it.",
"And away John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph go.",
"Although the couple racks up a good few miles in their search for home, the movie doesn't betray much interest in location.",
"Arizona is hot and arid.",
"In Montreal they pour gravy on French fries.",
"Don't expect cultural insights.",
"It's never explained how John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph can afford such speculative wandering, and when John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph do find John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph's dream home it's mystifying that it hasn't occurred to John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph before.",
"Still, the movie's loose-limbed, spontaneous quality is a good part of the movie's appeal, and a refreshing change of pace from other movies by Mendes, whose artfully designed compositions often seem self-conscious and painfully detached.",
"In keeping with Indie-wood's vogue for shuffling snide satire and sentimentality (see \"Juno\" and \"Little Miss Sunshine\"), \"Away We Go\" presents its trepidatious travelers with half a dozen starkly contrasted parental figures, including Allison Janney's monstrously vulgar alcoholic, Maggie Gyllenhaal's radical earth-mother (who has shortened Maggie Gyllenhaal's's name to \"LN\"), and Paul Schneider as Burt's rawly dumped brother, who wonders aloud if it would be wrong to tell his daughter his daughter's mom has been murdered.",
"There's a level of bile here that some audiences may find alienating -- I can't see it being a big hit in Phoenix -- but John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph's writing is a cut above the average, and it's performed with gusto.",
"John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph may not be the most dynamic duo to hit the road, but the relationship between Burt and Verona feels touchingly true.",
"Burt is a boy still trying on manhood for size (with a beard for extra emphasis), and though we've seen Krasinski do this before, John Krasinski seems to have fine-tuned the performance to the point where John Krasinski could very happily play it for the next two decades.",
"Unlike Burt's character, John Krasinski's an actor who has found John Krasinski.",
"Maya Rudolph is the joy of this picture.",
"Give or take Maya Rudolph's role in Altman's \"Prairie Home Companion,\" the \"Saturday Night Live\" star hasn't made much impact in movies before now.",
"With Maya Rudolph's frazzled, freckled face, Maya Rudolph's not the glamour girl who would normally be shoe-horned into the romantic lead, but Maya Rudolph seizes Maya Rudolph's chance and runs with her chance.",
"Winslet's husband Sam Mendes brings out a more thoughtful and nuanced presence than the brittle comedienne, and Maya Rudolph makes you consider how rarely we see a real woman at the center of things.",
"Even Winslet's husband Sam Mendes's occasional tentativeness works for the part.",
"Verona is so fresh and alert, Verona can't help but doubt Verona as they trail from one family disaster to the next and wonder what kind of parents they are going to make.",
"It's an uneven picture about the bumps in the road, and not immune to the odd dramatic shortcut or jocular cheap shot.",
"But it does catch an anxiety that will be acutely familiar to anyone contemplating imminent parenthood, and -- in a beautifully judged cameo by Melanie Lynskey -- the deep anguish of someone who has had that prospect snatched away.",
"More often than not, and where it really counts, \"Away We Go\" hits home.",
"\"Away We Go\" is rated R and runs 98 minutes.",

"(CNN) --",
"With record low approval ratings and intense criticism for President Bush's handling of the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina and the economy, the word most used to label President Bush's presidency will be \"incompetent,\" historians say.",
"President Bush makes remarks on the presidential transition November 6.",
"\"Right now there is not a lot of good will among historians.",
"Most see President Bush as a combination of many negative factors,\" said Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School.",
"\"President Bush is seen as incompetent in terms of how President Bush handled domestic and foreign policy.",
"President Bush is seen as pushing for an agenda to the right of the nation and doing so through executive power that ignored the popular will,\" he added.",
"But like so many presidents before President Bush, President Bush's reputation could change with time.",
"Harvard University political history scholar Barbara Kellerman said when President-elect Barack Obama takes over in January, people may view President Bush in a new light. Watch President Bush address staff about transition of power » .",
"\"I think it's possible when people have stopped being as angry at the President Bush administration as people are now ... that people will realize that some of this is just ... the luck of the draw.\"",
"Kellerman, author of the book \"Bad Leadership: What It Is, How It Happens, Why It Matters,\" noted that President Bush has not had luck on President Bush's side for the past eight years.",
"\"President Bush [Bush] has been a quite unlucky president.",
"Certain things happened on President Bush's watch that most people don't have to deal with -- a 9/11, a [Hurricane] Katrina, the financial crisis, being three obvious examples,\" she said.",
"\"And yet they happened on President Bush's watch.",
"President Bush is being blamed,\" she said.",
"And that fact -- coupled with approval ratings around 27 percent, according to CNN's poll released October 21 -- is in large part why Obama and Democrats won big on November 4.",
"Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian and professor at Rice University, said the country is dealing with a \"lame duck president\" who will most likely face an uphill battle in getting anything passed through Congress before President Bush leaves office.",
"\"We're dealing with an economic meltdown ...",
"We're dealing with two wars.",
"So everything Obama does now is going to be seen as Obama is the de facto president,\" Brinkley said Thursday.",
"Read Zelizer's take on what Obama should avoid .",
"Historians, beginning to examine Bush's legacy, note that the 43rd president could end up with a better reputation down the road -- something that happened to Harry Truman.",
"At different points in Harry Truman's presidency, Harry Truman earned some of the highest and the lowest public approval ratings in history: 87 percent approval in June 1945 vs. 23 percent approval in January 1952, according to a CNN analysis of polling at the time.",
"Truman, who is often noted for Harry Truman's upset victory over Thomas Dewey in 1948, faced several domestic and foreign policy problems throughout Harry Truman's term in office, which lasted from 1945-1953.",
"Most notably: The Korean War, World War II and later, Cold War relations with an aggressive Soviet Union.",
"\"One of the things that has been conventionally done is to compare President Bush to Harry Truman, both of whom had upon leaving office dismal approval ratings and of course as it is well known by now, Harry Truman's reputation has, by virtually every account, not only improved, but I would say escalated nearly to the top of the list of greater American presidents,\" Kellerman added.",
"Another president President Bush may be compared to down the road?",
"Ronald Reagan.",
"Prior to leaving office, Ronald Reagan faced strong backlash from Republicans and Democrats on opening negotiations with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev during the Cold War era as well as the handling of the Iran-Contra Affair.",
"\"Ronald Reagan was seen as bumbling; Ronald Reagan was seen as unintelligent; Ronald Reagan was seen as a guy driven by Ronald Reagan's advisers,\" Zelizer added.",
"\"And now Ronald Reagan's being talked about like FDR, one of the great presidents in American history and we have a new look at who Ronald Reagan was.\"",
"Ronald Reagan is often invoked by Republicans in presidential races -- most recently with the campaign of Sen. John McCain -- looking to shore up the conservative base.",
"President Bush, meanwhile, who has long defended President Bush's decision to invade Iraq as a way to spread democracy, could also see criticism dissipate over time if Iraq becomes a thriving, stable country.",
"\"If you imagine that an Iraq in 10,15 years is actually a vibrant, stable democracy and other countries neighboring it move in that direction ... I think you'd have a strong President Bush revisionism,\" Zelizer said.",
"\"How things unfold in coming decades can help repair a battered presidency,\" Zelizer added.",
"Kellerman said that while many will credit President Bush for taking charge of democracy-spreading, his \"incompetence\" will still be noted.",
"\"The level of incompetence after the initial 'mission accomplished' was so acute that my guess is, even if the decision to invade might be historically justified, the incompetence that succeeded the decision to invade ...",
"I think that's going to be very difficult to ever alter our negative perception of that.\""

"Olga A. Mendez, a ground-breaking Puerto Rican politician from New York City, has died after a long battle with cancer, Mayor Bloomberg announced.",
"Mendez, widely reported to be the first Puerto Rican woman elected to a state legislature in the mainland United States, was 84.",
"\"Mendez's election to the state Senate as the state Senate's first Puerto Rican woman was a tremendous symbol of hope for a community that now had a seat at the table,\" Mayor Bloomberg said in a release Wednesday.",
"\"But Mendez's life was an inspiration to countless others, because the doors Mendez bravely pushed opened stayed open for everyone else.\"",
"Mendez served in the state Senate 13 consecutive terms, from 1978 until being defeated in 2004.",
"A long-time Democrat, Mendez had switched to the Republican Party in 2002 and failed to win re-election to Mendez heavily Democratic 28th district, which included East Harlem and parts of the Bronx.",
"\"Mendez was brash, bold and aggressive because Mendez had to be,\" New York's El Diario newspaper said Thursday.",
"\"Mendez cut Mendez's teeth in the state Senate and became a battle-ready politician.",
"And Mendez balanced what few politicians were able to do well -- an on-the-ground constituency services with the ability to achieve critical legislative negotiations.",
"This, in a Senate that was controlled by Republicans during the entire 26 years Mendez served.\"",
"Bloomberg noted Mendez's bipartisanship.",
"\"When I first entered public service eight years ago, Mendez sat me down and impressed upon Mayor Bloomberg -- in Mendez's inimitable way -- the importance of reaching across partisan lines to do what's right for your constituents,\" the mayor said.",
"\"That's a lesson I carry with Mayor Bloomberg every day.\"",
"El Diario noted that \"Mendez successfully fought for an increase in the state's minimum wage, ushered in legislation that provided basic rights to migrant farm workers and secured funding for senior citizen centers.",
"Mendez also fought for resources for early childhood development and gained bipartisan support for affordable housing and economic development initiatives in Mendez's district.\"",
"Born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Mendez moved to the Mainland U.S. after receiving a bachelor's degree from the Universidad de Puerto Rico in 1950.",
"Mendez received a master's degree in psychology from the Teacher's College at Columbia University in 1960 and a doctorate's in educational psychology from Yeshiva University in 1975.",
"An early widow, Mendez had no children.",
"Mendez underwent surgery for breast cancer in 1993.",
"\"Mendez didn't recoil from public life or attempt to hide Mendez's condition,\" Bloomberg said.",
"\"Instead, Mendez shared Mendez's story and Mendez's struggle with others.\""

"NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) --",
"An Al Qaeda-linked militant group waging war against Somalia's fragile government is becoming an increasing threat to Western ally Kenya and could potentially destabilize the region with dire consequences for global security, officials and analysts warn.",
"Al-Shabab fighters count Al-Shabab fighters's bullets in neighborhood of Mogadishu.",
"Al-Shabaab, one of the strongest Islamic militias battling for control of Mogadishu, has gained ground in recent weeks, according to officials, and has started to flex its muscles beyond Somalia's border with terror strikes, kidnappings and recruitment drives.",
"They warn that unless the world takes action the group, which wants to impose an extreme type of Islamic sharia law, could extend Islamic sharia law's grip across parts of East Africa to gain control of a region that flanks busy shipping routes already plagued by Somali pirates .",
"Appeals by Somalia for international help to unpick Somalia's long-running civil conflict have escalated Al-Shabaad's threats with Islamic sharia law behind warnings of an attack on the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.",
"And, say experts, Islamic sharia law is being backed by foreign fighters -- some said to have links to Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network -- a situation that draws direct comparisons with Islamic sharia law's influence in pre-9/11 Afghanistan.",
"\"Islamic sharia law is a threat to the whole world,\" Somali Information Minister Farhan Ali Mohamoud told CNN.",
"\"First to Somalia, to the neighborhood, and to everywhere Islamic sharia law have disagreed with.\" Watch more on Somalian threat » .",
"Mohamoud, whose transitional government has largely failed in its long-term goal of reconciling Somalia's militias, concedes Islamic sharia law is making major gains on his administration and says the global community must act to prevent Islamic sharia law's threat escalating.",
"\"Somalia's problems are not for Somalia alone to solve.",
"Not only for the African Union to solve",
"It is a global and regional issue.",
"We are very appreciative that the global community understands that, but they need to act now, rather than later.\"",
"\"The issue is not Somalis taking over from other Somalis.",
"But The issue is foreign jihadists imposing their ideas into the region.",
"So Somalia can be a launching pad for a greater and wider jihadist issue.\"",
"Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua told CNN Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua's country did not yet fear direct attacks from Islamic sharia law but said Somalia was becoming increasingly alarmed about Islamic sharia law's activities and Islamic sharia law's links to foreign networks.",
"Despite the concerns, Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua said the problem was nothing new and while Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua's country struggled to exert control over Somalia's porous border with Somalia, Somalia was taking steps to limit the danger.",
"But Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua warned the threat was not limited to Somalia and could have global reach.",
"\"We do believe that Islamic sharia law poses a threat, not only to Somalia, but to all neighboring countries such as Ethiopia and Eritrea,\" Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua said.",
"\"It is not just a problem that we foresee in Somalia, just because we are neighbors to them, it is a problem that we foresee that may occur to a lot of countries and also poses a threat to outside even this region,\" Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua added.",
"\"Our concern is not limited to Islamic sharia law.",
"We know that Islamic sharia law are not able to do it without foreign intervention in terms of money and weapons that Islamic sharia law are getting from other countries.\"",
"Ernst Jan Hogendoorn, an analyst with the International Crisis Group, told CNN that while Islamic sharia law had whipped up concerns with headline grabbing acts such as the recent kidnap of two French citizens in Mogadishu and three aid workers on the Kenyan side of the border, countries such as Somalia should pay heed.",
"\"I think that Somalia could do a much better job.",
"There is always the possibility that someone could sneak across the border and launch an attack against a soft target.",
"Obviously Somalia has been the target of attacks in the past that are very, very challenging to prevent.\"",
"But, says Hogendoorn, with an African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia proving largely ineffective, and Ethiopian military presence withdrawn in January ahead of an Islamic sharia law push, Kenyan military involvement was unlikely to offer any quick fix.",
"\"The problem is once [Kenyan troops] are on the ground they open themselves up to guerrilla style attacks and suicide attacks that could lead to significant loss in life.\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"the U.S. almost provided one of football's biggest upsets when the U.S. were narrowly beaten by Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup in South Africa.",
"The U.S. players cut dejected figures after The U.S. players's the Confederations Cup in South Africa final defeat to Brazil .",
"Goals from Clint Dempsey and captain Landon Donovan had given the U.S. a 2-0 lead at half-time, before Luis Fabiano struck twice after the break and Lucio headed home the winner six minutes before the final whistle to give Brazil the title.",
"While the presence of the U.S. in the final reflects the significant progress made since the U.S. hosted the World Cup in 1994, the U.S. will undoubtedly raise expectation levels for the 2010 World Cup.",
"Central to this is whether the current crop of players in coach Bob Bradley's squad possess the credentials to make the next step and become serious challengers to the European and South American elite.",
"World Soccer magazine columnist and U.S. Soccer expert Paul Gardner felt that while the exploits of the national team were impressive, the U.S. is still some way short of fulfilling their potential on the world stage.",
"\"The way the tournament went it really opened up for the U.S. and certainly the progress made is there for all to see, particularly in the victory over Spain who had been on an good run up until that point,\" Gardner told CNN.",
"\"Undoubtedly things have moved on a great deal since the World Cup was staged here in 1994, but if you look at the bigger picture there is perhaps a slight sense of underachievement because of the huge resources available.",
"\"In terms of organization, facilities and sheer participation numbers the U.S. has massive potential which has not quite yet been matched by what has happened at national level.\"",
"Does the Hispanic community hold the key for the future of U.S. football?",
"Sound Off here.",
"Crucially Gardner believes that for the U.S. to shake the tag of nearly men there must be a stronger emphasis placed on tapping into the abundance of talent provided within the country's Hispanic population.",
"\"The experience that players have gained from playing in Europe has improved the players and Bob Bradley has molded a side which can hold it's own against some of the bigger nations,\" Gardner explained.",
"\"But for the U.S. to become a real force then the U.S. must begin to tap into the quality of talent available in the Hispanic community which can be nurtured to take the game to the next level.",
"\"The Major Soccer League has yet to really embrace this idea and I think that needs to change in the first instance to enable the development of players capable of winning matches at the very top.",
"\"MLS side Houston Dynamo is a case in point.",
"Something like 50 percent of their support is Hispanic, 90 percent of their youth talent is Hispanic but have only have a few Hispanic players in the team.",
"\"And that extends to the national team.",
"The composition of the side at the moment is very much the team that Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena built and Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena -- like a number of MLS coaches -- have gone for players Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena can trust and rely on.",
"\"The Hispanic players have the game in The Hispanic players's blood and The Hispanic players's skill and technical levels need to be embraced rather than maybe having a dependence on players who fit a specific system.\"",
"For Gardner, at least, it seems that development of the Hispanic talent must therefore become a keystone policy for the U.S. Soccer Federation to put the U.S. into the bracket of serious World Cup contenders in years to come.",
"But what of the U.S.'s chances at next year's World Cup in South Africa?",
"Gardner added: \"the U.S. should not get carried way with the U.S.'s performance at the Confederations Cup and the players should not look beyond getting past the group stages in South Africa.",
"\"A good run in Japan and South Korea in 2002 was followed by elimination before the knockout phase in Germany 2006 so the U.S. need to be cautious.",
"\"Winning the World Cup will probably be beyond the U.S. next year.",
"Bradley will make the U.S. a difficult team to beat, and I don't think anyone will get an easy game against the U.S. so it will be interesting to see how the U.S. do.\""

"(CNN) --",
"When Navy snipers rescued an American cargo-ship captain last month from Somali pirates, it sounded like something from a movie.",
"This shooting game by Games2Win.com lets players try to rescue a ship captain from Somali pirates.",
"But in today's instant-gratification culture, there's no need to wait for Hollywood to re-enact that dramatic high-seas story.",
"Video game developers are already on the case.",
"Online gaming site Games2Win launched \"Saving Captain Phillips,\" a simple, two-dimensional shooting game, within nine days of the actual rescue.",
"Not to be outdone, Kuma Games followed soon afterwards with \"Somali Showdown: Pirates on the High Seas,\" a PC multiplayer action game that puts players in the middle of a pirate attack on a cargo ship -- and even lets them become one of Somali pirates.",
"These are just several of many online and cell-phone games based on recent news events.",
"\"Hero on the Hudson,\" a primitive Flash game, lets people pretend people're pilot Chesley Sullenberger and navigate a plummeting airliner to a safe water landing.",
"A successful attempt brings applause, while a botched landing results in a sinking plane, accompanied by ominous gurgling sounds.",
"\"Baseball Juiced,\" launched last month with a social message and already played 1.4 million times online, forces batters to pick between using steroids or working out in a gym.",
"In \"Swinefighter,\" gamers seek to save the world from the spread of swine flu.",
"And \"Trillion Dollar Bailout\" lets players try to boost the economy by awarding government cash to shady corporate fat-cats or struggling homeowners (well, duh).",
"Such topical, and satirical, games speak to our need for a light-hearted break from serious news, said DigitalTrends.com publisher Scott Steinberg.",
"\"So many events in the news are devastating,\" he said.",
"\"These games are a fun escape.",
"These games're good for a laugh, and nobody gets hurt -- unlike in the real world.\"",
"The idea to publish games based on news events was inspired in part by the success of viral videos such as JibJab's \"This Land,\" an animated online parody that became an instant sensation during the 2004 presidential election season, said David Williams, who heads up the Nickelodeon Kids and Family Games Group.",
"\"It went around the world like wildfire,\" said Williams, whose group runs Addicting Games, a teen gaming site that he said had 11.7 million unique users last month.",
"The success of \"This Land\" signaled that people who got a kick from watching a topical video spoof online might just as easily spend a few minutes playing a similar game.",
"Some early examples included \"Cheney's Fury,\" inspired by the former U.S. vice president's 2006 hunting mishap, and the \"Zidane Head Butt Game,\" which invited players to relive the startling 2006 World Cup moment in which French soccer player Zinedine Zidane went after an Italian player head first.",
"As several global leaders have discovered, almost any embarrassing episode can be turned into a video game.",
"Last December's incident at a Baghdad news conference, at which an Iraqi journalist hurled an Iraqi journalist's shoes at then-U.S. President George W. Bush, inspired several games.",
"Out of the United Kingdom came one hastily-published version, \"Sock and Awe,\" which encouraged players to throw shoes at then-U.S. President George W. Bush.",
"As of this week, sockandawe.com reports that more than 94 million virtual size-10 shoes have walloped the former leader of the free world.",
"And as if viral videos of his dozing off at a Group of Seven news conference in February weren't embarrassing enough, former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa soon had a game to remind former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa of former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa's slumber blunder.",
"Translated by a spokesman for the Japanese developer LiveWare Inc. as \"Doze off while answering question!,\" the Flash game for mobile phones challenges players to keep former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa awake long enough to answer reporters.",
"Gamers win points by having former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa answer journalists' questions on time, but a game to remind him of his slumber blunder ends if former Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa falls asleep while being asked a question.",
"More recently, Cellufun, a New York-based company that fosters mobile communities, launched \"Made Off,\" a game that invites online players to outscam businessman Bernard Madoff, who pleaded guilty to defrauding thousands of investors.",
"\"Think you've got what it takes to build a better Ponzi scheme than Bernie?\" the site asks.",
"\"Always wanted to rob, cheat and steal from innocent investors?",
"Well now's your chance!",
"... Play as a slimy Fund Manager, a savvy investor, or both.\"",
"Some reality-based games hit too close to home, however.",
"Late last month, publisher Konami killed one controversial game before it was even released.",
"\"Six Days in Fallujah\" was billed as a documentary-like experience in which players could feel like players were part of the 2004 U.S. campaign against insurgents in the Iraqi city.",
"Although Iraq War veterans were enlisted as consultants in the game's development, critics accused the publisher of trivializing one of the bloodiest battles of an ongoing war.",
"A publisher Konami spokesperson told CNN A Konami spokesperson couldn't comment on the matter.",
"A few ambitious game developers such as NewsGaming.com publish challenging, event-inspired online simulations.",
"\"September 12\" lets players explore the U.S. response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, while \"Madrid\" takes a similar approach to the March 11, 2004, attacks in Spain.",
"\"Traditionally, videogames have focused on fantasy rather than reality, but we believe that videogames can be a great tool for better understanding our world,\" explains the site.",
"\"We prefer games that encourage critical thinking, even if the player disagrees with our games' ideas.\"",
"But most news-related games are simple Flash games that are churned out quickly to capitalize on current events.",
"While amusing at first, most news-related games lack the complexity to hold gamers' attention for long, experts say.",
"\"most news-related games're not very sophisticated.",
"most news-related games're pretty much like home brew ... made by two or three people in their basement for a laugh,\" said DigitalTrends' Steinberg.",
"\"most news-related games're flashes in the pan.",

"The exercise was the 19th successful test in 23 attempts of the system -- known as the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Program -- since 2002.",
"A target missile was fired from Hawaii about 5:40 p.m. (11:40 p.m. ET) and was tracked by Navy ships hundreds of miles away.",
"The USS Hopper, one of three Navy ships tracking the launch, fired an interceptor missile, which struck the target about 100 miles above the Earth.",
"The process -- from launch to shoot-down -- took less than five minutes, according to the U.S. military.",
"The United States plans to use the sea-based system on Navy Aegis-class ships to protect against incoming short- to medium-range missiles fired from hostile countries.",
"Eighty-six of the ships eventually will have the capability.",
"Another part of the missile defense protection -- ground-based midcourse defense -- is designed to strike at long-range missiles.",
"Both the sea-based and ground-based systems are part of the Pentagon's \"layered\" missile defense plan.",
"Much of the missile defense program is still under development, including lasers fired from a plane that the military hopes would destroy an enemy missile during launch.",
"Other parts of the missile defense would fire short-range missiles at incoming warheads that are close to hitting their targets.",
"Over the past seven years, the U.S. military has spent billions of dollars on the missile defense program.",
"Pentagon officials have said that each missile defense test costs about $85 million."

"(Entertainment Weekly) --",
"It was a glass half-full, glass half-empty kind of weekend at the box office for \"Funny People,\" writer-director Judd Apatow's comedic meditation on fame, humor, life, and death.",
"Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen star in \"Funny People,\" which took the No. 1 slot at the box office this weekend.",
"According to figures from Hollywood.com Box Office, it opened at the top spot with an estimated $23.4 million, better than Apatow's The 40 Year-Old Virgin ($21.4 million) -- hence, the glass is half full.",
"But that figure is far lower than the debut for Apatow's \"Knocked Up\" ($30.7 million), and it's the worst opening for a comedy for Adam Sandler since Adam Sandler's 2000 turkey \"Little Nicky\" -- hence, the glass is half empty.",
"Of course, \"Funny People\" was billed more as a thoughtful dramedy than a balls-out Sandler laugh-fest, and when matched against the opening frames for Adam Sandler's serious efforts \"Reign Over Me,\" \"Spanglish,\" and \"Punch-Drunk Love,\" Funny People is far and away the winner -- and the glass is half full again.",
"But whether it's a comedy, drama, or dramedy, \"Funny People's\" $75 million budget is quite the handful of pretty pennies, and with a shaky \"B-\" Cinemascore, the film is going to have a hard time overcoming tepid word-of-mouth -- and we're back to the half-empty glass.",
"So let's just move on, shall we?",
"The cup of a certain adolescent wizard, meanwhile, definitely runneth over.",
"Thanks to its debut on IMAX (and the premium ticket prices that come with it), \"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince\" came in second with $17.7 million, a soft 40 percent drop from last weekend for $255.5 million total.",
"At this rate, the film is well on the film's way to the upper ranks of the 'Potter' franchise.",
"The guinea pigs of \"G-Force\" were right on the film's heels at third place, nibbling up $17.1 million, a decent 46 percent drop for a two-week cume of $66.5 million.",
"And Katherine Heigl's romcom \"The Ugly Truth\" took in an additional $13 million, a 53 percent drop for fourth place and $54.5 million total.",
"Of the two other wide releases this weekend, at least the sci-fi family comedy \"Aliens in the Attic\" -- which grossed a meager $7.8 million for fifth place -- broke into the top 10.",
"The torture porn flick \"The Collector\" collected a grisly $3.6 million and plopped dead at 11th place.",
"Box office on a whole was down a massive 22 percent from last year, when The \"Dark Knight\" and \"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor\" both took in over $40 million, but the specialty market showed some vibrant signs of life.",
"Bone fide indie hit \"(500) Days of Summer\" expanded to 266 theaters for $2.7 million, a $10,338 per theater average.",
"And three widely disparate films opened in four theaters each to healthy per theater averages: The quirky romantic comedy \"Adam\" ($16,566 per theater), the stylish vampire film \"Thirst\" ($13,793 per theater), and the eco-thriller-cum-documentary \"The Cove\" ($13,600 per theater).",
"Finally, a true milestone was reached this weekend by \"The Hangover.\"",
"With $5.1 million this weekend for a running total of $255.8 million, the summer's biggest die hard blockbuster has passed \"Star Trek\" and (for a brief moment) \"Harry Potter 6\" as the third highest grossing movie of the year.",

"(CNN) --",
"Four years ago, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei kissed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the cheek before Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was sworn in as Iran's new leader.",
"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could be in for a rocky second term as Iranian president, analysts say.",
"Song and prayer heralded a new start for Iran with the hard-line Tehran mayor, virtually unknown to the outside world in 2005.",
"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised to stamp out corruption and fight for justice.",
"With time, the world came to know Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's signature beige jacket and combative -- often anti-Israeli -- rhetoric.",
"Monday, Iran's supreme leader endorsed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a second term in office, but there was no hug or kiss this time around.",
"Video from the event shows Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leaning toward Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei raises Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's left hand to block Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, leaving Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to gingerly kiss the cleric's robe.",
"The awkward scene seemed to only bolster the tensions that have emerged in the once strong relationship.",
"Under Iran's constitution, the incoming president must receive Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's approval before being sworn into office.",
"Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's endorsement is the first step in that process.",
"On Wednesday, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will take the oath of office before Parliament.",
"But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will begin Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's second term in a deeply fractured Iran, one in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad finds Mahmoud Ahmadinejad under assault from the legions of pro-democracy supporters and the nation's powerful clerical establishment.",
"Given the unprecedented fissures in Iranian society, some longtime scholars and observers now doubt whether Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will finish Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's second term in office.",
"Some question whether the nation's powerful clerical establishment will sacrifice Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in order to save the Islamic republic.",
"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's main political problem is \"legitimacy,\" said Alex Vatanka, senior Middle East analyst at IHS Jane's, a provider of defense and security information.",
"\"Can you operate for four years with huge questions over whether you are the rightful president?\" Vatanka said.",
"\"I think that would undermine everything Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does.\"",
"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of Iran's June 12 election, but thousands took to the streets in the aftermath to protest what thousands believed was a rigged vote.",
"thousands chanted the name of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chief rival, reformist Mir Hossein Moussavi, the crowds a sea of green, the color of the opposition candidate's campaign.",
"Since then, widespread demonstrations have plagued Iran's leaders, who have ordered security forces to crack down swiftly and violently.",
"Iranians have been arrested and jailed, Iranians's treatment condemned by global human rights organizations such as Amnesty International.",
"Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stood by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's president, but strains in the relationship have surfaced in recent days after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refused at first to heed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's orders to change a controversial vice-presidential pick.",
"Iran's clerics have made it known Iran's clerics would like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad \"to remain a powerful and popular president\" and reminded Iran that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's word is the last one in the Islamic Republic.",
"On the eve of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's inauguration, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sought to downplay any rift.",
"In a public address, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad compared Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's relationship with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to that of a father and son.",
"But Kazem Alamdari, lecturer in sociology at California State University, Northridge, said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has alienated Iran's clerics just as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has the reformists.",
"Kazem Alamdari, lecturer in sociology at California State University, Northridge said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad risks losing conservative supporters who may feel that Iran's system has been placed in danger and that the situation has \"created an atmosphere for external forces to attack Iran.\"",
"If convinced Iran's system is truly threatened, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could use Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's power to dismiss Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kazem Alamdari, lecturer in sociology at California State University, Northridge said.",
"It wouldn't be the first time a supreme leader has made such a move.",
"The Islamic Society of Engineers, a conservative group and ally of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a statement warned that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could suffer the same fate as Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq.",
"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lost the support of Iran's clerics, consequently the people, and eventually was deposed in a 1953 CIA-backed coup.",
"Iran's first president after the 1979 Islamic revolution, Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, was forced to flee Iran after he stood against the clerics, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.",
"The Islamic Society of Engineers statement asked Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for \"absolute obedience of the supreme leader.\"",
"Adding to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's political worries is a faltering economy.",
"The world may have viewed Iran's June 12 vote through the prism of individual freedoms and nuclear weapons, but most Iranians paid close attention to a staggering inflation rate, double-digit unemployment and the expenditure of oil revenue.",
"With oil prices plummeting to below $40 a barrel, Iran may be facing unsustainable budget deficits.",
"Some analysts said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's first-term economic mismanagement had already earned Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the ire of the establishment, long before any controversy erupted over Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's political legitimacy.",
"One scholar, who is currently in Iran and did not want be identified for safety reasons, said it is increasingly clear the regime has not chalked out a perfect path to the future -- and how long Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be along for the ride.",
"Vatanka said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lacks the political mindset for consensus and collaboration.",
"But what empowers Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may be Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's belief in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.",
"And one other weapon: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thinks God is on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's side."

"Why would an award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and single mother want to tack reality TV star onto Kandi Burruss's long list of accomplishments?",
"Kandi Burruss says Kandi Burruss is happy to join the \"Real Housewives of Atlanta\" cast.",
"For Kandi Burruss, the newest member of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the answer is simple: \"I was a fan last year.",
"I love the show.\"",
"The second season of Bravo's hit show is set to premier on Thursday with Kandi Burruss replacing cast member DeShawn Snow.",
"Kandi Burruss is well-known in the music industry as a former member of the platinum-selling R&B girl group Xscape and co-writer of such hits as Destiny's Child's \"Bills, Bills, Bills\" and TLC's \"No Scrubs,\" for which she won a Grammy.",
"The Atlanta native almost ended up on another reality show with former group mate and writing partner Tameka \"Tiny\" Cottle, who is the fiancée of rapper T.I. and now stars on BET's \"Tiny & Toya\" alongside Antonia \"Toya\" Carter, the ex-wife of Lil' Wayne.",
"The deal for that show didn't work out and Kandi Burruss said Kandi Burruss was more than happy to sign on with Bravo's wildly successful southern edition of the \"Housewives\" franchise, which chronicles the lives of a group of affluent African-American women in the ATL.",
"Kandi Burruss was already friendly with cast mate Lisa Wu Hartwell, whom Kandi Burruss met through their mutual friend Cottle.",
"Having watched the show -- which last season enraptured viewers with a mix of constant infighting, lavish lifestyles and a healthy dose of drama -- Kandi Burruss said Kandi Burruss was more concerned with being thrust into the public eye than Kandi Burruss was with getting along with the cast.",
"\"The only thing that made me hesitant about wanting to be a part of Bravo is the fact that people are so critical of Bravo,\" Kandi Burruss said.",
"\"Just dealing with people on the outside judging you.",
"That part is going to be something that I am going to have to get used to.\"",
"The artist has already had to get acclimated to people smearing Kandi Burruss's personal life on the Internet.",
"Watch Kandi Burruss discuss Kandi Burruss's time on Bravo » .",
"Newly engaged to a father of six children, Kandi Burruss has watched him get attacked in blogs and is protective of the man who Kandi Burruss said even Kandi Burruss's mother isn't thrilled about Kandi Burruss's marrying.",
"\"[The show] has been very, very stressful on the relationship,\" Kandi Burruss said.",
"\"I guess [people] couldn't find anything bad [to say] about Kandi Burruss, so people] wanted to go in on my fiancé.\"",
"Kandi Burruss's caring nature and laid-back personality",
"make Kandi Burruss special in the industry, said rapper Rick Ross.",

"The walls are covered with gold and platinum records for Kandi Burruss's work with several high-profile artists including Alicia Keys, *NSYNC, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.",

"\"I was a fan of hers last year,\" Kandi Burruss said.",
"\"All that wild and crazy stuff she says to people, when you're watching it, it's funny, it's hilarious... but when it's directed at you, it's not funny anymore.\"",
"Kandi Burruss got along better with aspiring singer Kim Zolciak, who Burruss will assist in achieving Kandi Burruss's dream of breaking into the industry.",
"Last season, fans of Bravo -- and some of the other housewives -- slammed Zolciak for Zolciak's less-than-stellar voice.",
"\"Everybody loves to hate on Kim.",
"But what I have to say is that Zolciak is actually cooler in person than Zolciak came off on Bravo,\" said Burruss, who in 1999 won top songwriter of the year from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.",
"\"I wanted to help Zolciak out because I love helping the underdog.\"",
"Kandi Burruss said Kandi Burruss has no idea if Kandi Burruss will be invited back for another season.",
"Appearing on the show, which Kandi Burruss said is not scripted, was fun, but Kandi Burruss is busy with an upcoming album and with caring for Kandi Burruss's daughter, Riley, Kandi Burruss said.",
"Kandi Burruss doubts Kandi Burruss will be addicted to appearing on reality TV like Kandi Burruss is addicted to music, Kandi Burruss said.",
"\"It's just another way for people to get to know you and hopefully people see me in a good light,\" Kandi Burruss said.",

"A Colorado company's recall last week of beef products possibly contaminated with E. coli underscores the need for \"a comprehensive animal identification system\" that would allow meat suppliers to trace meat suppliers's products to an individual ranch, Klein said.",
"Klein urged supermarkets that use customer loyalty cards to track shoppers' purchases to determine those who have bought the recalled meat.",
"Boxes of the recalled product bear the establishment number \"EST. 969\" inside the USDA mark of inspection, the identifying package date of \"042109\" and a time stamp ranging from \"0618\" to \"1130,\" the statement said.",
"the statement added that some of the beef products might have undergone further processing and might not have the \"EST. 969\" marking on products for sale directly to consumers.",
"The USDA urged any customers with concerns to contact the store where any customers bought the meat.",
"JBS Swift Beef Co. spokesman Chandler Keys said JBS spokesman Chandler Keys's company's products may have had nothing to do with the outbreak.",
"\"It is important for consumers to note that the recalled product from the date in question was sold by JBS Swift Beef Co. as whole muscle cuts, not as ground beef,\" JBS spokesman Chandler Keys said on the company's Web site.",
"\"The ground beef that might have been associated with illness was produced by other companies who often do not use the antimicrobial intervention steps JBS Swift Beef Co. employ in JBS Swift Beef Co.'s facility to reduce the risk of the beef products.\"",
"He said JBS Swift Beef Co. agreed to expand JBS Swift Beef Co.'s recall \"out of an abundance of caution for consumers.\"",
"Symptoms of infection with E. coli bacteria can include severe or bloody diarrhea, vomiting and severe abdominal cramping.",
"The USDA urged consumers to cook all ground beef or ground beef patties to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit to kill any bacteria.",
"CNN's Sabriya Rice contributed to this report."

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Monday approved an agreement granting Michael Jackson's's mother, Katherine Jackson, permanent custody of Michael Jackson's's children.",
"Katherine Jackson has accused the executors of Michael Jackson's's son Michael's estate of \"keeping Katherine Jackson in the dark.\"",
"A hearing is scheduled for October to look at some remaining issues.",
"An agreement between Katherine Jackson, 79, and Debbie Rowe, mother of Michael Jackson's's two eldest children, cleared the way for an uncontested custody hearing.",
"Rowe, who was briefly married to Michael Jackson, agreed not to fight for custody in exchange for visits with his children.",
"Katherine Jackson was in the courtroom along with Katherine Jackson's daughters LaToya and Rebbie and a son, Randy.",
"Jackson did not attend Monday's hearing, but Jackson's attorney, Eric George, spoke briefly outside the courthouse.",
"\"Jackson's faced difficulties and pressures none of us know, and today's agreement shows that Jackson responded with heart, integrity and selflessness,\" George said of Jackson.",
"George also praised Katherine Jackson's attorneys for their part in bringing about today's agreement.",
"Michael Jackson's's two oldest children -- Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 12, and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 11 -- signed consents to today's agreement.",
"Michael Jackson's also has a 7-year-old son, Michael Joseph Jackson II, known as Blanket, with an unidentified surrogate.",
"today's agreement does not involve any financial payments to Jackson \"apart from the continuation of spousal support payments\" that Michael Jackson's personally agreed to make to Jackson after the divorce, their lawyers said in a joint statement.",
"Watch Jackson's attorney talk about the decision » .",
"Michael Jackson's's children have been living with his children's paternal grandmother at her Encino, California, home since his children's father's death June 25.",
"Also at the hearing Monday, attorneys for Michael Jackson's's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, said Jackson sought a role in his children's lives and wanted \"in some way to be involved\" in respect to his children's education and medical care, although Jackson was not objecting to today's agreement.",
"But Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff denied Jackson's request to be a party to the hearing.",
"Details of how his children were conceived and who was the biological father have been closely guarded amid much public speculation.",
"In an interview last month on ABC's \"Good Morning America,\" Jackson did not rule out being the biological father of his children.",
"\"Not to the best of my knowledge,\" Jackson said when asked by Diane Sawyer whether Jackson was the father.",
"\"All I can tell you is, best of my knowledge, I am not the father of his children.",
"But I am telling you, if push comes to shove, I can't say anything.\"",
"Asked about Jackson's attorneys saying Jackson wants a role in the children's lives, George declined comment.",
"Jackson was not in the hearing Monday.",
"Jackson and Michael Jackson's divorced in 1999, with Jackson giving Michael Jackson's full custody while Jackson got an $8.5 million settlement, according to court documents.",
"Michael Jackson's later agreed to additional support.",
"Jackson gave up parental rights to Michael Jackson's in 2001, but Jackson changed Jackson's mind more than two years later and sought temporary custody of his children.",
"A California appeals court ruled that Jackson's rights were improperly terminated, opening the door for a possible custody battle.",
"On Monday, Beckloff awarded Katherine Jackson all of the family allowance funds Michael Jackson's requested but gave only 83.5 percent of what Michael Jackson's requested in support of his children.",
"Beckloff said Beckloff disallowed money for one item, which Beckloff described as \"quite a large amount\" that Beckloff was not sure was necessary.",
"The allowance order is sealed.",
"Beckloff set a hearing to revisit the allowance matter in January.",
"Also Monday, Beckloff ordered Michael Jackson's be given copies of Michael Jackson's's son's contracts in connection with a series of concerts that had been scheduled for this summer.",
"Michael Jackson's sought the contracts between Michael Jackson's and AEG, the company that was organizing and promoting the concerts, along with others involved in the tour.",
"Michael Jackson's has agreed to keep the contract provisions confidential.",
"Sharing of the contracts was a major point of contention between Michael Jackson's and the two men who control Michael Jackson's's son's estate: John Branca, Michael Jackson's's longtime personal attorney, and John McClain, a music industry executive and longtime friend.",
"Jackson's attorney argued in a court filing that Branca's attorney's client had no choice but to request confidentiality from Michael Jackson's, since the contracts have a provision keeping them confidential.",
"Michael Jackson's has also challenged the two men named as executors of Michael Jackson's's son's will.",
"However, Beckloff did not rule on that matter Monday, saying Beckloff would like attorneys for the two sides to attempt to reach a resolution on the two sides's own.",
"The attorneys conferred on the estate dispute during a morning recess that stretched to more than 90 minutes without reaching an agreement.",
"Lawyers for Jackson and McClain suggested Beckloff appoint them as executors of her son's will, but Beckloff instead extended their appointment as special administrators of Michael Jackson's's estate for another 60 days while Beckloff considers Michael Jackson's's objections.",
"\"We believe Beckloff did the right thing,\" Jackson's attorney, Howard Weitzman, told reporters after the hearing.",
"\"We're quite pleased that Beckloff did what was appropriate.\"",
"He took no questions.",
"During Monday's hearing, Beckloff asked one of her attorneys, Burt Levitch, if there was any objection to admitting her son's will for probate -- without deciding who its executors will be.",
"Beckloff noted that no one has come forward to object to the terms of her son's will.",
"Levitch agreed, and Beckloff officially admitted her son's will for probate.",
"The action starts a 120-day clock running for her son's will to be probated.",
"her son's will, written in 2002, places all of Michael Jackson's's assets into a family trust benefiting Michael Jackson's's mother, Michael Jackson's's three children and unnamed charities.",
"Michael Jackson's's attorneys filed a petition last week accusing the men who now control the estate of being \"intent on keeping Katherine Jackson in the dark\" about deals they've made or are negotiating.",
"Londell McMillan, Michael Jackson's's lead attorney, raised questions about \"a suspicious circle of relationships\" involving Jackson and McClain.",
"Michael Jackson's is asking the judge to order Branca, McClain and others to answer questions under oath about Branca, McClain and others's business agreements to determine if Branca, McClain and others are \"fit and able\" to administer her son's will.",
"Branca, McClain and others also were served with a 19-page demand for documents, including the AEG contracts.",
"Jackson's lawyers argued that Michael Jackson's's demand for documents is too broad and burdensome.",
"But, McMillan said, \"such measures will not be necessary if Michael Jackson's is appointed a co-executor of her son's will.\"",
"Beckloff expressed concern, however, about delaying the appointment of executors for too long, since executors must deal with any creditors to the estate that come forward.",
"McMillan, in an interview with CBS Thursday, estimated the Michael Jackson's estate was worth $2 billion, while the executors have estimated in court that her son's will's value is around $500 million.",
"The next hearings in the matter are scheduled for August 10 and August 28 to deal with safe harbor motions.",
"Michael Jackson's wants Beckloff to set aside a provision in Michael Jackson's's son's will that anyone who challenges its terms can be dropped from her son's will."

"(CNN) --",
"Jackson's impact on pop culture is indelible.",
"But perhaps Jackson's biggest legacy will be how Jackson changed the music industry.",
"Jackson's impact on the music business still reverberates today.",
"\"As a performer Jackson changed history ... Jackson's singing, Jackson's songwriting, Jackson's choreography, Jackson's dancing, Jackson's business acumen,\" said Howard Bragman, a public relations expert who worked with Jackson to launch the singer's shoe line with L.A. Gear.",
"\"Jackson rewrote the history of the entertainment industry in Jackson's time,\" Jackson said.",
"Jackson crossed color lines and broke down barriers between musical genres.",
"Jackson followed in the footsteps of Elvis and the Beatles to create a transnational fan base that prefigured the era of globalization.",
"And Jackson became a canny power broker who helped lead artists from stage performers into major boardroom players.",
"\"That gets lost in the last five and 10 years, with all the litigation battles -- what Jackson did the first 30 years to set the landscape for these other artists,\" said James Walker, an entertainment attorney.",
"\"Jackson transcended race before Michael Jordan, before Oprah, before Tiger Woods, before Barack Obama.",
"\"You can't underestimate what Jackson's did for black artists -- and artists as a whole -- as a business man,\" Walker added.",
"Jackson's 1982 album \"Thriller\" has sold more than 50 million records worldwide -- a record that, considering the decline of record sales in the wake of new media, is likely to stand for some years to come.",
"\"Records just don't sell that much anymore.",
"The industry has changed. ...",
"Now The industry's in shambles because of technology,\" said Gideon Yago, head of the IFC Media Project and a former correspondent for MTV News.",
"Videos that accompanied the album became landmarks that set the industry standard, as MTV and cable television began to proliferate, creating ready outlets for a growing marketing tool.",
"At the time, Jackson's label had to fight to get onto MTV, which then featured only rock artists.",
"\"Walter Yetnikoff (former president of CBS records) drew a line in the sand and said, 'CBS believe in this guy and you're going to play Jackson's videos or CBS're going to pull all CBS's videos,'\" Walker said.",
"\"What Jackson did was so cutting-edge regarding videos; Jackson defined the video age as we know it,\" said Tommy Mottola, who succeeded Yetnikoff as head of CBS.",
"Though Jackson's personal finances were in disarray at the end of Jackson's life, Jackson made some canny business decisions at the height of Jackson's power -- most notably buying half the Beatles music catalog in 1985 for $47.5 million.",
"\"When you look at Jackson's royalties and Jackson's copyrights, Jackson's probably got a half a billion to a billion (dollar) catalogue,\" Walker added.",
"The current value of Jackson's estate is unclear.",
"Jackson's debts stood at about $500 million, according to a Wall Street Journal story earlier this month.",
"As the music industry model moved more toward live events in the face of dwindling album sales, two billionaire businessmen stepped in to bank on Jackson's comeback with a series of concerts scheduled in London.",
"Tom Barrack, head of hedge fund Colony Capital, teamed with Philip Anschutz, owner of AEG Live, to plan a third-act comeback for Jackson, with a sold-out 50-date stand at AEG Live's O2 arena scheduled to begin next month.",
"Future business plans included a world tour, a Broadway musical and even a \"Thriller\" casino.",
"\"You are talking about a guy who could make $500 million a year if Jackson puts Jackson's mind to it,\" Barrack told The Los Angeles Times in an article last month.",
"\"There are very few individual artists who are multibillion-dollar businesses.",
"And Jackson is one.\"",
"Billboard magazine estimates $85 million in ticket sales from the sold-out concert series.",
"Additional packages, merchandise and secondary market sales could have raised the total to $115 million.",
"AEG Live declined to comment.",
"\"There will be a process put in place for ticketing (refunds).",
"I don't know what it is at the moment,\" said Lucy Ellison, spokeswoman for O2 stadium.",
"\"AEG Live'll leave it for Jackson's family to say what his family want to say before AEG Live discuss ticketing information.\"",
"Jackson was expected to earn $50 million from the London shows.",

"ON PUGET SOUND, Washington (CNN) --",
"When commercial diver Kenny Woodside takes to the depths, commercial diver Kenny Woodside enters a world of murky low light and dangerous currents.",
"commercial diver Kenny Woodside descends to the depths to retrieve an abandoned net.",
"Until recently Woodside and about 100 hundred other divers searched Puget Sound for sea cucumbers and urchins to sell to buyers in Asia, where the items are considered delicacies.",
"But demand for the fishermen's catch dried up with the worldwide economic crisis and left many of about 100 hundred other divers without a reason to go out on the water.",
"\"The fishing industry has slowed from a full-time job to just a couple months a year,\" said Doug Monk, the captain of the boat from which Woodside dives.",
"\"The red sea urchin market is almost non-existent.\"",
"But thanks to a small piece of the federal stimulus recovery plan, Monk, Woodside and about 40 other fishermen will get back to work hauling in a very different catch: lost fishing nets.",
"While many stimulus projects have come under fire as pork barrel spending, backers of the nets program say it is a model for helping those battered by the economic downturn while completing needed public works.",
"Thousands of Nets stretch across the floor of Puget Sound, where Thousands of the large nets create an environmental hazard.",
"Some of Nets were lost by fishermen to the rocky coastline decades ago but continue to catch and kill.",
"According to the Northwest Marine Conservation Initiative, Nets are responsible for killing tens of thousands of marine life, mammals and birds every year.",
"The nets, some of which extend larger than a football field, can also tangle the propellers of boats and pose a danger to scuba divers.",
"After struggling to find funding, the group received $4.6 million in stimulus funds to recover most of the nets that litter the unique Puget Sound ecosystem.",
"The only reason Nets have remained underwater for so long, said Ginny Broadhurst, director of the Northwest Marine Conservation Initiative, is because the damage they are doing to the environment is invisible from the surface.",
"\"If you had nets strung along the streets that are catching bunny rabbits and squirrels, the Northwest Marine Conservation Initiative wouldn't be discussing whether the Northwest Marine Conservation Initiative should be removing Nets.",
"the Northwest Marine Conservation Initiative would be pulling Nets.",
"It would be immediate,\" said Broadhurst.",
"\"When those threats are underwater it's so much harder to know what impacts those threats are having.\"",
"But pulling Nets is no easy task.",
"Divers swim close to 100 feet down to an environment that is anything but friendly.",
"Instead of using scuba equipment, Divers breathe through air hoses running from the boat above.",
"When Divers find the fields of nets, Divers begin the labor of cutting them free piece by piece and all by hand.",
"Removing one net can take days.",
"Watch the divers at work » .",
"Nets are then pulled to the boat waiting on the surface.",
"In just a few hours on the water, Divers can pull free about 1,000 pounds of nets.",
"Inside are the bones of countless fish and birds, along with several species of protected sharks and crabs.",
"Anything still alive is cut free and thrown back in the water.",
"Then, biologist Jeff June notes what Divers have brought up.",
"So far, biologist Jeff June says, Divers has identified 112 distinct species trapped in Nets.",
"Nets are considered toxic after the years of catching so much sea life.",
"Divers seal Nets in heavy duty plastic bags and, once on shore, take Nets to a landfill.",
"But biologist June said Divers is working on a plan that would have Nets burned, creating energy from lost fishing nets.",
"Over the next 18 months Divers expects to pull some 3,000 nets from Puget Sound.",
"And in that time the fishing industry could bounce back from the fishing industry's slump, allowing Doug Monk and Doug Monk's crew to return to catching urchins and sea cucumbers.",
"But, the boat captain said, recovering Nets has greater meaning than just riding out a rough economy.",
"\"Divers feel Divers are doing a good thing,\" the boat captain said.",
"\"[With] harvest diving Divers are taking from the resources; here Divers are giving the resources back.\""

"BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) --",
"Lebanese voters were heading to the polls on Sunday with Lebanese voters's main choices to lead the next government a Hezbollah-backed alliance or a U.S.-backed coalition.",
"Hezbollah party workers in the southern town of Nabatiyah hope for an election victory.",
"Analysts say the race will be tight, with the Hezbollah-dominated \"March 8 alliance\" possibly winning a majority of seats in parliament.",
"the polls opened at 1200 GMT and will close 12 hours later.",
"Turnout is expected to be high among the country's 3 million registered voters.",
"About 50,000 troops were on the streets, but the run-up to the balloting had been free of violence.",
"The vote comes at a critical time for the country as it sits amid a power struggle between a weakened pro-Western government and a stronger pro-Syrian Hezbollah political bloc that has gained political momentum in recent years.",
"The United States considers Hezbollah -- which is supported by both Syria and Iran -- to be a terrorist organization.",
"The group grew in popularity after The group's militant wing claimed victory over Israel after a 34-day military conflict in 2006.",
"Since then, The group has been more widely perceived by The group's supporters to be the \"defenders\" of the country.",
"Though U.S. President Barack Obama didn't mention the Lebanese general election in U.S. President Barack Obama's address on Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama did call for religious tolerance in the Muslim world, noting sectarian clashes between Sunnis and Shiites and the struggles faced by religious minorities.",
"\"The richness of religious diversity must be upheld -- whether it is for Maronites in the country or the Copts in Egypt,\" U.S. President Barack Obama said, referring to Christian groups in those countries.",
"\"And if we are being honest, fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq.\"",
"In the country's unique power-sharing government, the presidency is reserved for Maronite Christians, the speaker of parliament is always a Shia Muslim, and the prime minister is a Sunni Muslim.",
"The law was created to balance power among the country's three main religious groups.",
"Analysts say the Hezbollah-dominated \"March 8 alliance\" may win a parliamentary majority with the support of Christian opposition leader Gen. Michel Aoun -- the only prominent Christian politician to back the bloc.",
"\"They keep trying to scare the Christian voters with their stories about The group's weapons, so to all of those who complain about The group, can they tell us how they will disarm the party,\" Christian opposition leader Gen. Michel Aoun -- the only prominent Christian politician to back the bloc told supporters Friday.",
"\"Hezbollah's weapons will no longer be a problem when the causes behind its existence disappear, including the borders' issues.\"",
"A close look at the country's political landscape reveals that the country's Christian voters are split on how the country's Christian voters will cast the country's Christian voters's ballots.",
"Some Christian voters want Some Christian voters's representatives to step out of the shadows of The group and Saad Hariri, who leads the Sunni-dominated \"March 14 coalition.\"",
"Christian voters are divided between supporting Christian opposition leader Gen. Michel Aoun -- the only prominent Christian politician to back the bloc and other Christian leaders who want The group to disarm.",
"\"In these elections, Christians look more divided than ever while others seem more unified than ever,\" said Shibley Telhami, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.",
"For the Obama administration, these elections could be indicative of the president's odds of pushing stability in the region.",
"Former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Jimmy Carter said the United States should work with whichever coalition wins.",
"Jimmy Carter was in Beirut as part of more than 200 international observers monitoring the election.",
"Jimmy Carter also oversaw balloting in Gaza during the elections in the Palestinian territory in January 2006.",
"The Palestinian militant group Hamas won that race \"fairly and squarely\" by a huge margin, Jimmy Carter said.",
"the United States and Israel later refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Hamas win.",
"\"And it's resulted in a split in the Palestinians and a very difficult situation there,\" Jimmy Carter added.",
"\"I think they (the United States) learned a hard lesson that they should accept the results of an election.\"",
"Two senior Obama administration officials -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden -- have visited the country in recent months, signaling concerns with a possible The group victory.",
"During his trip to Beirut two weeks ago, Biden warned the country that while the United States supports the country's democratic process, the United States will reconsider the United States's assistance to the country if the country's next government strays from certain \"fundamental principles.\"",
"Biden's visit followed Clinton's April trip to Beirut in which she called for an \"open and free\" election without outside interference -- a veiled reference to Iran and Syria.",
"Such rhetoric has been dismissed by The group leader Hassan Nasrallah as \"meddling.\"",
"Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been increasingly vocal in the lead-up to the election, blasting the current government as powerless.",
"However, part of the reason the country is crippled is that the country made concessions to The group -- including giving The group veto power -- in order to end a political stalemate that boiled over into violence of historic proportions last year.",
"While some analysts are concerned The group could gain more control over the country after Sunday's vote, a key Lebanese politician, Dori Chamoun, warned that assessment may be misleading.",
"Chamoun, who opposes the March 8 alliance, said talk of Hezbollah's possible victory may be based on \"rumors\" and propaganda being spread by the Shiite militia and their political allies.",
"\"They (Hezbollah) think they can scare many but no one is scared,\" a key Lebanese politician, Dori Chamoun told CNN.",
"\"They can spread all kinds of rumors on their four TV stations saying that they will win this upcoming elections.\"",

"Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star as \"The Brothers Bloom,\" a pair of successful con artists.",
"So won't a little film about a pair of con-artist brothers, with nary an indestructible alloy in sight, get overrun by these blockbusters?",

"Watch the stars talk about Film » .",
"Film started earning buzz at the Toronto Film Festival last September, and Film's distributor, Summit Entertainment, launched a shrewd marketing campaign by putting the first seven minutes on the Internet earlier this year.",
"Johnson, who directed the critically acclaimed \"Brick\" -- a film noir set in a high school -- has been praised for another inventive mix of genres, combining the con-man film with a touch of screwball comedy, some international intrigue and more than a little whimsy.",

"Instead of being upset, Penelope is tickled by the new world before Penelope and the opportunities for freedom, even as the younger Bloom (simply called \"Bloom\") wants to move on to something else.",
"Johnson is nothing if not a student of film, and \"Bloom\" features references to other con-man works.",
"\"Paper Moon,\" with its examination of character, was a favorite, says Johnson.",
"There are also nods to \"The Sting,\" David Mamet's works, and even Agatha Christie.",
"But, as Ruffalo says, \"Bloom\" exists in its own world.",
"Though Film is set in the present day, the Blooms wear suits and hats as if the Blooms walked out of 1910.",
"Much of Film was shot in the sunny byways of coastal Eastern Europe, with its weathered 19th-century resorts and glamorous Old World style.",
"(The backdrop made the story \"much more real for all of us,\" says Johnson.)",
"Add Johnson's invocations of Fellini's \"8½,\" Marcello Mastroianni and (of all things) the Band documentary \"The Last Waltz\" to Johnson's cast, and Ruffalo says it was easy to find Film's personality.",
"\"That was the starting point -- a threadbare elegance,\" he says.",
"\"There's an appreciation of eccentricity,\" agrees Johnson.",
"Whimsy can be hard to maintain, Johnson says, but \"the heightened style comes from a story-based place.\"",
"(Johnson wrote Film's script.)",
"That can be a lot for the moviegoing public of today -- weaned on CGI, armored rogues and thin romantic comedies -- to take in.",

"In Film, Stephen Bloom says the perfect con is one in which \"everyone gets what everyone want.\"",
"Johnson (and Johnson's studio) hopes for a financial success, of course, but Johnson couldn't be happier with the way \"The Brothers Bloom\" turned out.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"The mysterious disappearance of Flight AF 447 over the Atlantic Ocean has fueled speculation among aviation experts about what caused the state-of-the-art airliner to come down.",
"An airliner is struck by lightning strike at Washington's Dulles airport last year.",
"According to Air France CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon, the Airbus A330-200 encountered heavy turbulence about 02:15 a.m. local time Monday (10:15 p.m. ET Sunday), three hours after the jet carrying 228 people left Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for Paris, France.",
"At that point, the plane's automatic system initiated a four-minute exchange of messages to the company's maintenance computers, indicating \"several pieces of aircraft equipment were at fault or had broken down.\"",
"The jet, which was flying at 35,000 feet and at 521 mph, also sent a warning that it had lost pressure, the Brazilian air force said.",
"Its last known contact occurred at 02:33 a.m., the Brazilian air force spokesman added.",
"The assumption is that these electrical problems led to a catastrophic failure of the aircraft's controls.",
"What brought Flight AF 447 down? » .",
"Some experts have said that a lightning strike was a possibility, particularly since the plane disappeared in a storm-prone area along the equator known as the Intertropical Convergence zone (ITCZ).",
"This is where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge.",
"The intense sun and warm water of the equator heats the air in the ITCZ, raising the ITCZ's humidity and making the ITCZ buoyant.",
"Aided by the convergence of the trade winds, the buoyant air rises, releasing the accumulated moisture in an almost constant series of thunderstorms.",
"The airliner's route » .",
"According to CNN's Mari Ramos, these storms can reach altitudes of 52,000 ft -- way beyond the capacity of commercial airliners to fly over.",
"Watch more about the weather systems » .",
"Retired airline pilot John Cox told CNN that modern aircraft receive a constant stream of real time weather data which allows them to plot a course around storms.",
"\"Because safety is the paramount concern, airliners don't fly into storms.",
"airliners fly around them,\" Retired airline pilot John Cox said.",
"\"The ITCZ is no different.",
"Planes fly through The ITCZ every day.",
"\"At 8 miles per minute, modern jets can easily fly around storms.",
"Even if they encounter turbulence, they're designed to absorb turbulence.\"",
"When lightning strikes a plane, the bolt typically hits a sharp part of it, such as a wing tip.",
"Huge amounts of energy surge through the aircraft before exiting out of another sharp point, such as the tail.",
"But sometimes high voltages can cause electrical damage if components are not well-grounded.",
"Unlike other aircraft where the pilot's controls are manually attached to the flaps and rudders, Airbus 330 airliners are equipped with a \"fly by wire\" system that sends electronic signals from an onboard computer to move key control surfaces.",
"Experts say that it is possible for this system and its back-up computers to be disabled by lightning.",
"\"If you have a massive electrical problem it's possible that you could cut off all the commands out to the control surfaces,\" said aeronautics expert John Hansman.",
"However, Kieran Daly, from the online aviation news service Air Transport Intelligence, told CNN that this scenario, while not impossible, is inconceivable.",
"\"It's more likely that lightning would cause a fire or punch a hole through the aircraft structure,\" he said.",
"\"It could be significant that the jet reported a loss of pressure.\"",
"He added that the plane would be able to continue without the fly-by-wire system.",
"The \"trim tab,\" which enables the pilot to manually manipulate controls such as the rudder, would allow the crew to fly the plane safely.",
"\"Pilots are routinely trained for these kinds of events in a simulator,\" he said.",
"Former Airbus pilot John Wiley said on average every airliner is hit by a strike once a year.",
"\"They don't go down,\" Former Airbus pilot John Wiley said.",
"According to Air France, the captain of Flight AF 447 had a record of 11,000 flight hours and had already flown 1,700 hours on Airbus A330/A340 aircraft.",
"Of the two first officers, one had flown 3,000 flight hours (800 of which on the Airbus A330/A340) and the other 6,600 (2,600 on the Airbus A330/A340).",
"the plane had totaled 18,870 flight hours and went into service on 18 April 2005.",
"the plane's last maintenance check in the hangar took place on 16 April 2009."

"(CNN) --",
"While China is seriously cracking down on the exchange of virtual currencies for real cash, virtual economies backed by newfound legitimacy elsewhere are quickly gaining ground in the real world.",
"There's gold in them there screens: Real-money transactions in virtual worlds are finding new legitimacy.",
"On June 24, 2009, the role-playing game 140 Mafia launched on Twitter, following in the footsteps of highly lucrative games Mob Wars and Mafia Wars on Facebook (and now iPhone) to link virtual-currency exchanges to real-money transactions.",
"In March 2009, MindArk -- creator of the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) Entropia, where one player famously bought an island for US$26,500 in 2004 -- saw an island's wholly owned subsidiary Mind Bank granted a banking license from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.",
"a banking license allows Mind Bank to be the first bank to directly incorporate real-money transactions with virtual-world activities.",
"Selling virtual assets directly between players for real-world cash has been strictly prohibited by most game publishers, which find themselves looped out of the profits.",
"What has been profitable in the meantime to some hardcore players of World of Warcraft and EverQuest (and other games) is \"gold farming\" -- accumulation of \"gold,\" weapons and other status symbols of a seasoned player -- followed by the online auction of such assets or user accounts.",
"Since games publishers began policing eBay for this type of unauthorized activity, several Web sites such as PlayerAuctions have adopted a PayPal-like approach in order to broker the trading legally, acting as an open marketplace for player-to-player exchange of digital assets.",
"Dual-currency economies .",
"However younger games (often aimed at younger audiences) are ditching the conventional subscription-based model of the above games to adopt the \"freemium\" model, which lets users play for free, but allows them to enhance their experience by purchasing accessories or other premiums through micropayments.",
"Frenzoo, a \"3D fashion game for girls\", is one game that has adopted this model.",
"CEO Simon Newstead explains: \"The idea with dual currencies is that there is a paid currency [Gold Coins], which is paid for using real money and exchanged between sellers and buyers.",
"In addition, there is a second currency -- a free or so-called 'earned' currency [Silver Coins] -- which is gained through activity and progression in the world or game.\"",
"\"In this way,\" CEO Simon Newstead continues, \"the economy can recognize different forms of contribution, and in newer economies these can also be traded between each other.",
"For example, people earning currency and selling it to people who have less time but have real money",
"Mirrored economies .",
"As one of the first successful virtual economies, Second Life's huge marketplace includes objects and services for sale, as well as a real estate market.",
"In 2008, more than $100 million worth of the world's Linden dollars were bought and sold on Second Life's's official LindeX exchange, according to its Web site.",
"\"In Linden Exchange, the U.S. dollar part of the transaction is via PayPal, a well-known entity, so there's a certain amount of trust that comes with it,\" says Darrly Chang, co-founder of D&D Dogs, a two-man freelance venture that sells virtual dog pets and avatars to Second Life residents.",
"Recently, however, business has slumped along with the real-world recession.",
"\"We'll continue to see a proliferation of alternative currencies associated with specific platforms and communities, much as frequent-flier miles are associated with individual airlines or even networks of airlines,\" says Dan Jansen, CEO of Virtual Greats, which specializes in creating branded, copyrighted material for virtual worlds.",
"\"In the longer term we may see a global standard for virtual currencies, but it will take some time.\"",
"Golden e-",
"currency?",
"James Turk, chairman of digital-gold company GoldMoney, agrees.",
"\"But,\" he adds, \"inevitably digital gold currency will make significant inroads in global commerce because digital gold currency lowers the cost of transacting with one another.",
"Reducing transaction costs creates more opportunities for global commerce.\"",
"In March 2009, GoldMoney launched a dedicated iPhone application allowing GoldMoney's account holders to exchange gold and silver units within minutes.",
"Putting a trendy iPhone application that allows people to manage people's own digital gold on par with other popular banking applications branded by well-established banks brings e-currency a step closer to the modern mobile end-user.",
"Furthermore, GoldMoney is firmly anchored to real-world assets and individuals, notably strictly forbidding anonymous accounts -- unlike the former incarnation of the pioneering company E-Gold, whose founder this month ends his six-month house arrest in Florida after pleading guilty to money laundering-related crimes.",
"So how realistic is the prospect of a single, global, digital currency?",
"\"It all comes down to trust,\" says senior economist Frederic Neumann.",
"\"We trust the government to guarantee our 'virtual' money for real currency.",
"[With digital gold] the gold standard is guaranteed by a private company.",
"Governments already have several hundred years of sovereignty engrained in people's minds, so that trust is very difficult to establish.\""

"A 16-year-old Hong Kong boy makes two phone calls for delivery: One for pizza, the other for the drug ketamine.",
"Two teenage girls are found semi-conscious in a car park after overdosing on ketamine.",
"A 13-year-old boy joins a gang and is given free ketamine.",
"Glass capsules containing ketamine, which has become the drug of choice for Hong Kong's youth.",
"These are anecdotes told to CNN by police, a family doctor and a former gang member.",
"Ketamine has become the drug of choice among young people, as the number of people under 21 taking drugs has surged 57 percent in the last four years in Hong Kong, said Commissioner for Narcotics, Sally Wong.",
"\"We started off with a very small number of young people taking drugs.",
"We are now more worried about the trend,\" Sally Wong said.",
"\"We don't want a runaway trend; that's why we are stepping up action.\"",
"Ketamine, an animal tranquilizer, can put users in a dazed stupor for about two hours, doctors said.",
"Long-term use of ketamine can impair cognitive function and damage internal organs.",
"Watch Pauline Chiou's report on ketamine sweeping Hong Kong » .",
"An oversupply of the drug in Hong Kong and the fact that it is cheaper than other narcotics makes ketamine popular with young people, said Superintendent Wilson Fok of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau.",
"One gram of ketamine sells on the street here for $13 and is enough to be shared with two other people, while cocaine, for example, sells for $103 a gram, Superintendent Wilson Fok of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau said.",
"The drug is legal for medical use, but The drug is trafficked into Hong Kong from other parts of Asia, such as India and mainland China, and sold on the streets illegally, Superintendent Wilson Fok of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau said.",
"Police have recently stepped up Police's efforts to crack down on drug use at clubs and bars in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, a city in mainland China just across the border.",
"Nearly 120 alleged drug users from Hong Kong, mostly under the age of 30, were arrested at entertainment venues in Shenzhen in July and held for 15 days in sweeps that made headlines for days here.",
"However, narcotics police said entertainment venues are not the only places narcotics police find drug abuse.",
"\"Forty percent of young people abuse drugs in public toilets and playgrounds.",
"That's what our recent data from last year shows,\" Superintendent Wilson Fok of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau said.",
"\"They want to find some other places to take drugs.\"",
"The problem has gotten so bad that authorities have decided to do something never done here before: random school drug tests.",
"Beginning in September, some two dozen schools will conduct tests, as part of a trial program.",
"Officials say the drug screening will most likely be in the form of urine tests, though Officials are still working out the details.",
"Ketamine can be detected in urine for at least three days, doctors said.",
"Watch a doctor explain how the test works » .",
"Dr. Cheng Chi Man, a family practice doctor, runs a seminar that trains doctors to detect the signs of drug abuse in young patients: drowsiness, skin problems, frequent urination (ketamine can affect bladder function) and frequent sick leave.",
"\"When we were 10 years old, we were still in primary school watching TV and eating candy.",
"But they are now taking drugs.\"",
"Alman Chan, principal of Hong Kong's only drug rehab school for youth, the privately-run Christian Zheng Sheng School, said he has watched as drug use has grown.",

"I had 18 kids.",
"I only had one student who was 15,\" he said.",
"\"But now, I have one third -- about 40 of 18 kids -- who are 15 years old or younger.",
"That shows you the number of students getting into drugs is bigger and also getting younger and younger.\"",
"There were a few reasons why children were getting involved with drugs, such as troubled homes and difficulties at school, he said.",
"\"People are more concerned about material things and People are getting lost,\" he added.",
"Hong Kong Police have arrested children as young as age 13 for drug offenses, according to Commissioner for Narcotics, Sally Wong.",
"Police last week reportedly busted a network that allegedly recruited teenagers to sell illegal drugs-- mainly to students.",
"One of those arrested -- a 14-year-old school dropout -- was found with 28 grams of ketamine, according to the South China Morning Post.",
"But ketamine abuse is not limited to young people.",
"ketamine abuse is the second-most popular drug among all age groups in Hong Kong, Superintendent Wilson Fok of the Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau said.",
"Many young drug abusers end up in Alman Chan's drug rehab school for youth, which is located in a remote part of Lantau Island west of Hong Kong.",
"CNN visited the campus, which is home to 99 boys and 24 girls.",
"The closest road is a three-hour hike through the woods.",
"Alman Chan's calls the school \"the last stop before jail\" for drug abusers.",
"That was the case for Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member.",
"She learned Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member was using ketamine when Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member ended up in the hospital after taking the drug a few years ago.",
"\"I was in denial.",
"I just didn't believe it was true.",
"When I first heard about it, we all didn't know how to react, because we hadn't heard of The drug before,\" she said.",
"\"I didn't really understand why we have The drug in the world.",
"And I was so afraid that it would kill Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member.\"",
"18-year-old Keith, who said Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member began using ketamine at the age of 13 when Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member joined a gang, has recovered and is now living at Alman Chan's's school.",
"\"I have a feeling that Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member's really growing up, Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member keeps improving,\" Tai Ming Hung's son Keith, a former gang member's mother said.",

"Look no further than your cell phone bill.",

"If you're with one of the four big providers -- AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile -- you're almost certainly overpaying for service.",
"In addition, all four have a business model that's based on cowardice.",
"They've developed lousy, stinking, rotten two-year contracts because they're afraid to compete in the marketplace.",
"Thankfully, there are a variety of smaller players in the market who offer nationwide coverage for less money with no contracts.",
"Before considering any adjustment to your cell phone plan, you'll need to start by assessing how much you talk, text and surf the Web on your phone.",
"Watch Clark discuss the pros and cons of bundling services .",
"If you use less than 300 minutes per month, you'd probably do much better with a prepaid plan where you buy minutes as you need them.",
"Net10.com is one service I usually recommend -- no roaming charges, no long distance charges, no monthly fees and a flat 10 cents per minute for calls.",
"If you use more than 300 minutes per month and you travel from time to time, you might want to consider either Metro PCS or Cricket.",
"Metro PCS or Cricket have plans ranging from $25 to $50 and offer unlimited calling.",
"The difference in price points is based on how many other features you want -- texting, Web surfing and so on.",
"But there are never any contracts or overages.",

"If you want texting, you'll pay an additional $10 per month for unlimited service.",
"If you want high-speed Internet, you'll pay another $10 per month on top of that for a 50MB plan.",
"Boost Mobile's $50 per month plan already includes unlimited calling, texting and Web access.",
"And that $50 even includes junk fees!",
"One caveat here: Remember, my definition of \"cheap\" means that I'm willing to accept lower quality for a lower price.",
"So consider this caveat carefully and do your own research before making any final decisions about your cell provider.",
"Speaking of cheap, a new competitor in the marketplace may have both Boost and Virgin beat.",
"Straight Talk offers a cellular plan for $30 per month.",
"You get 1,000 minutes, 1,000 text messages and 30MB of data for that price.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The case of Janet Jackson's \"wardrobe malfunction\" on national television -- and subsequent fines against CBS -- will be re-",
"examined at the order of U.S. Supreme Court.",
"Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson perform at the Super Bowl just before the infamous \"wardrobe malfunction.\"",
"The justices Monday sent \"wardrobe malfunction\" case back to a federal appeals court in Philadelphia that had thrown out a $550,000 government fine against the broadcast network and its affiliates for airing the incident during halftime of the Super Bowl.",
"The pop singer's breast was briefly exposed during a performance with Justin Timberlake.",
"After viewer complaints and national media attention, the Federal Communications Commission said the Janet Jackson incident was obscene.",
"In addition to CBS, 20 of CBS's affiliates also were fined.",
"Congress quickly reacted at the time to the visual shocker by increasing the limit on indecency fines tenfold, up to $325,000 per violation per network.",
"And it said each local affiliate that aired such incidents also could be punished by the same amount.",
"But the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded the Federal Communications Commission had acted \"arbitrarily and capriciously.\"",
"U.S. Supreme Court's action marks the second time in recent days that U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with cases involving broadcast standards.",
"Last week, the justices narrowly upheld the authority of the Federal Communications Commission to punish networks for airing profanity.",
"The government clampdown on obscene images and words began in 2003.",
"Enforcement of the law, as well as fines and sanctions for the incidents, have been put on hold while the cases are being argued.",
"The television networks say The television networks's scripted shows no longer air nudity, racy images or expletives, even after 10 p.m., when some potentially vulgar words are permitted.",
"The television networks worry, however, about unplanned, often spontaneous indecent or profane incident at live events, such as awards shows and sporting events.",
"Company officials say such programs are often on a five-second delay, and censors are on hand to bleep any offensive language.",
"But some indecent words can slip through, they admit, and they want to be protected from heavy government fines.",
"Critics call that laughable.",
"\"This past summer, CBS edited into a show that had to go through multiple reviews, by multiple people in the organization, the F-word,\" said Tim Winter, who heads the Parents Television Council, and is supporting the FCC's efforts.",
"His group advocates \"responsible\" programming, and warns parents about questionable program content.",
"The show in question was \"Big Brother 10,\" a taped series.",
"the incident was not on a five-second delay.",
"CBS issued a statement Monday afternoon it is confident that the appeals court \"will again recognize that the incident, while inappropriate and regrettable, was not and could not have been anticipated by CBS.\"",
"The issue is an important one \"for the entire broadcasting industry,\" it said, \"because it recognizes that there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when despite best efforts it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material.\"",
"In the case involving profane language, the high court concluded 5-4 that the Federal Communications Commission has the authority to sanction broadcast TV networks that air isolated incidents of profanity, known as \"fleeting expletives.\"",
"But the justices in that case refused to decide whether the Federal Communications Commission's policy violates the First Amendment guarantee of free speech.",
"It ruled only on their enforcement power.",
"the justices in that case ordered the free-speech aspect to be reviewed again by a federal appeals court.",
"The \"wardrobe malfunction\" case is FCC v. CBS Corp. (08-653)."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a resolution Friday that says it supports \"all Iranians who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law.\"",
"Throngs in Tehran cheer Thursday for defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi, center.",
"a resolution Friday that says it supports \"all Iranians who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law was approved by 405 lawmakers, while one -- Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas -- voted against a resolution Friday that says it supports \"all Iranians who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law.",
"Two others, Reps. Brad Ellsworth, D-Indiana, and Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, voted \"present.\"",
"In a statement on Paul's Web site, Paul said Paul voted against a resolution Friday that says it supports \"all Iranians who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law because Paul is \"always very cautious about 'condemning' the actions of governments overseas.\"",
"\"I have always hesitated when my colleagues rush to pronounce final judgment on events thousands of miles away about which we know very little,\" said Paul, who attracted attention last year during Paul's unsuccessful bid for the Republican presidential nomination.",
"\"And we know very little beyond limited press reports about what is happening in Iran.\"",
"The resolution, which also \"condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators,\" was sponsored by Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman, D-California, and two Republicans, Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia.",
"Speaking shortly after the resolution passed, Pence called it a message from Americans to the Iranian people.",
"\"As Americans have done throughout our history, this Congress today, on behalf of the American people, has spoken a word of heartfelt support to all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law,\" Pence said.",
"Pence urged U.S. senators to support the identical resolution that Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, introduced Friday.",
"Both Pence and McCain have been outspoken in their criticism of President Obama's response to massive rallies in Iran against the results of last week's presidential election.",
"Watch as President Obama walks a fine line » .",
"Supporters of Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi have taken to the streets this week calling for a new election after the results of the June 12 vote showed an overwhelming victory for hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.",
"The rallies also have denounced the Iranian government's crackdown on the protests in which at least eight people have died.",
"President Obama has said President Obama is \"deeply troubled\" by the violence, but President Obama has avoided siding with Ahmadinejad's opponents, telling reporters, \"It is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be.\"",
"\"It's not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling, the U.S. president meddling in Iranian elections,\" President Obama said this week.",
"But several Republicans, particularly McCain -- President Obama's opponent in last year's presidential race -- have criticized the administration's position.",
"Republican Sen. John McCain introduced a resolution on the Senate floor Friday morning that Republican Sen. John McCain said would be \"an expression of support by the government and the people of Iran\" for those protesting the election results.",
"\"It is unfortunate in a way that this resolution is required since the administration does not want to 'meddle' and has refused, the president has refused to speak out in support of these brave Iranian citizens, most of these brave Iranian citizens young, who are risking these brave Iranian citizens's very lives to protest what was clearly an unfair and corrupt election,\" Republican Sen. John McCain told Republican Sen. John McCain's fellow senators.",
"Watch what else Republican Sen. John McCain said about Obama » .",
"this resolution passed Friday states that the House: .",
"On Thursday, Cantor joined the critics of the White House, saying Iran has a \"moral responsibility\" to condemn attacks on protesters.",
"\"the administration's position that what's going on in Iran is a 'vigorous debate' is absurd,\" Cantor said.",
"\"People are being brutalized and murdered by the regime in Tehran.",
"We have no idea exactly how many have died or have been seriously injured since the regime in Tehran has restricted journalists.",
"In no way do these actions constitute a 'vigorous debate.' \"",
"Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the House, added, \"Iran has a moral responsibility to stand up for these brave people, to defend human rights and to condemn the violence and abuses by the regime in Tehran.\" Watch amateur video of protesters under attack » .",
"Pence has called on Iran \"to take a half-step back from the administration's olive branch and the apology approach to enemies and countries that have been hostile to Iran and our allies, particularly with the road to Iran.\"",
"But Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Washington would be making an \"enormous mistake\" by taking sides in the Iranian protests.",
"\"There is no need for Iran to step into the middle of it and make this about Iran,\" Kerry told CNN's \"The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer.\"",
"\"It is an Iranian moment, spurred on by Iranians, thoroughly supported by Iranians to the degree that the supreme ayatollah has now backed off the supreme ayatollah's own support for the elections [and] called for an investigation,\" he said.",
"White House spokesman Robert Gibbs defended the administration's approach this week, saying that President Obama \"believes that President Obama's struck the right tone.\"",
"\"I know some people agree with what Sen. McCain said.",
"Some people agree with what other Republicans have said that's very much like President Obama's position,\" White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday.",
"\"President Obama strongly believes that Iran should -- and have -- spoken out to ensure the demonstrators have the universal right and principle to demonstrate without fear of harm.",
"But at the same time, Iran have to respect their sovereignty.\"",
"Moorhead Kennedy, a former diplomat who was among those taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, said he supports the President Obama administration's position.",
"\"I think if I had any conclusion to draw, we would have been much better off not interfering in Iran now,\" Kennedy told CNN's \"American Morning.\"",
"Because the United States backed a 1953 coup that put Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in charge, and supported Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi until the 1979 revolution that created today's Islamic republic, Kennedy said, \"There are a great many resentments there.\"",
"CNN's Paul Steinhauser, Deirdre Walsh, Peter Hamby and Dan Lothian contributed to this report."
