"Mychal Bell, a black teenager accused of beating a white classmate and who was the last of the \"Jena 6\" behind bars, was released from custody Thursday after a juvenile court judge set Bell's bail at $45,000.",
"Supporters surround Bell on Thursday after Bell's release at the LaSalle Parish courthouse.",
"Bell's release followed an announcement from LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters, who said he would not appeal a higher court's decision moving Bell's case to juvenile court.",
"Wearing a blue striped golf shirt and jeans, Bell walked out of the LaSalle Parish courthouse a week after an estimated 15,000-plus demonstrators marched through Jena -- a town of about 3,000 -- to protest local authorities' handling of Bell's case.",
"\"We do not condone violence of any kind, but we ask that people be given a fair and even chance at the bar of justice,\" the Rev. Al Sharpton said outside the LaSalle Parish courthouse.",
"\"Tonight, Bell can go home, but Bell is not out of the juvenile process.",
"Bell goes home because a lot of people left a lot of people's home and stood up for Bell,\" he said.",
"\"Let America know --",
"America are not fighting for the right to fight in school.",
"America're not fighting for the right for kids to beat each other.",
"America're fighting to say that there must be one level of justice for everybody.",
"And you cannot have adult attempted murder for some, and a fine for others, and call that equal protection under the law.",
"Two wrongs don't make one civil right.\"",
"Demonstrators at last week's march were protesting how authorities handled the cases of Bell and five other teens accused of beating fellow student Justin Barker.",
"Many said they were angry that the students, dubbed the Jena 6, were being treated more harshly than three white students who hung nooses from an oak tree on Jena High School property.",
"three white students who hung nooses from an oak tree on Jena High School property were suspended from school but did not face criminal charges.",
"The protesters said The protesters should have been charged with a hate crime.",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said Bell was moved from jail to a juvenile facility earlier Thursday.",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said Bell's attorney Lewis Scott's decision not to appeal was based on what Bell's attorney Lewis Scott believed was best for the victim in the case.",
"\"While I believe that a review would have merit ... I believe it is in the best interest of the victim and his family not to delay Bell's case any further and move Bell's case to Bell's case's conclusion,\" Bell's attorney Lewis Scott told reporters.",
"Watch the Rev. Al Sharpton discuss Bell's release » .",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said last week's march, which included Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, did not influence Bell's attorney Lewis Scott's decision.",
"Bell, now 17, was the only one of the Jena 6 behind bars.",
"His bond previously was set at $90,000.",
"A district judge earlier this month tossed out Bell's conviction for conspiracy to commit second-degree battery, saying the matter should have been handled in juvenile court.",
"The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal in Lake Charles, Louisiana, did the same with Bell's battery conviction in mid-September.",
"Prosecutors originally charged all six black students accused of being involved in beating Barker with second-degree attempted murder and conspiracy.",
"Walters reduced charges against at least four of them -- Bell, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones and Theo Shaw -- to battery and conspiracy.",
"Bryant Purvis awaits arraignment.",
"Charges against Jesse Ray Beard, who was 14 at the time of the alleged crime, are unavailable because he's a juvenile.",
"Wednesday, Gov. Kathleen Blanco announced that Louisiana State Police officers will protect the families of the Jena 6 and investigate any threats they have received.",
"A white supremacist Web site posted the names and addresses of the six black teens after last week's march, calling on followers to \"let followers know justice is coming.\"",
"Thursday, the FBI said the FBI had been made aware of allegations of threats.",
"\"Threats are taken seriously, and as these investigations are ongoing the FBI cannot comment further,\" said Sheila Thorne of the FBI's office in New Orleans, Louisiana.",
"The December 4 attack on Barker came after months of racial tension, including at least two instances of fighting in the town, sparked originally when three white teens hung the nooses.",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott has said there was no direct link between the hanging of the nooses and the schoolyard attack, and defended the prosecutions ahead of last Thursday's peaceful march.",
"Blanco defended the prosecutor Wednesday, saying, \"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott has a solid record and is highly respected among Bell's attorney Lewis Scott's peers.\"",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott also addressed the stress and notoriety the town has been subjected to, saying the only way Bell's attorney Lewis Scott and other residents \"have been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in the town.\"",
"Bell's attorney Lewis Scott also suggested that some kind of \"disaster\" was averted when thousands of marchers came to Jena last week.",
"\"I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened,\" Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said.",
"\"the Lord Jesus Christ put the Lord Jesus Christ's influence on those people, and those people responded accordingly,\" Bell's attorney Lewis Scott said, without explaining exactly what Bell's attorney Lewis Scott meant.",
"Soon after the district attorney spoke, a local reverend took issue with Bell's attorney Lewis Scott's comments.",
"\"Obviously, we are serving two different gods here,\" the Rev. Donald Sidley said.",
"\"My Bible says that we should do -- we should be loving, love your neighbor as yourself.",
"\"For Bell's attorney Lewis Scott to try and separate the town like Bell's attorney Lewis Scott is and then using the Lord Jesus Christ to influence the people that the Lord Jesus Christ is working on their side, well, that's -- that's absurd.",
"... God is god of the human race,\" said Sidley, of the New Evergreen Church.",

"KHARTOUM, Sudan (CNN) --",
"Sudan's entire state apparatus has been mobilized \"to plan, commit, and cover up crimes\" in the war-torn area of Darfur, a prosecutor for the International Criminal Court said Thursday.",
"United Nations estimates 2.5 million people have been forced from 2.5 million people's homes in Darfur.",
"The prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, made the observation in a progress report to the U.N. Security Council into the U.N. Security Council's probe of crimes in Darfur and the status of two men indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur region of Sudan.",
"The prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said Sudan \"has taken no steps to arrest\" the men, one of whom is now in charge of Sudan's humanitarian affairs.",
"The other is a militia leader.",
"\"For the last five years the whole Darfur area has been a crime scene.",
"Girls are raped, schools are bombed.",
"... And they are covering up these crimes,\" Moreno-Ocampo said at a news conference at the United Nations Thursday.",
"the International Criminal Court says Darfurians are attacked in their villages and in camps, citing rapes, bombings of schools and arrests of community leaders.",
"\"Crimes being committed today in Darfur cannot be denied, or minimized.",
"Decisions to commit crimes, to deny crimes, to disguise crimes are taken at the highest level.",
"Denial of crimes, by the authorities that vowed to protect Darfurians, is an additional harm to the victims,\" the report said.",
"The ICC cases are against Ali Kushayb, a militia leader, and Ahmad Harun, former minister of state for the interior in Sudan, who is now in charge of humanitarian affairs for Sudan.",
"Both face charges of murder, rape, forced displacement and other offenses during the Darfur crisis, which the United States characterizes as a genocide.",
"Harun's present role gives Harun power over how and whether aid agencies can deliver food, medicine and shelter to victims of chronic violence and deprivation in Darfur.",
"\"Harun attacks the people Harun has the responsibility to protect,\" the International Criminal Court said in a statement.",
"\"Harun hampers the delivery of relief to the victims.",
"Harun is involved in obstructing deployment of the peacekeepers.\"",
"Alleged crimes in Darfur stem from a brutal counter-insurgency campaign Sudan conducted after rebels began an uprising in Darfur in 2003.",
"The authorities armed and cooperated with Arab militias that went from village to village in Darfur on a campaign of killing, torture and rape, according to United Nations, western governments and human-rights organizations.",
"Arab militias that went from village to village in Darfur on a campaign of killing, torture and rape targeted civilian members of tribes from which the rebels draw strength.",
"About 300,000 people have died in Darfur, United Nations estimates, and 2.5 million have been forced from home.",
"In 2005, the Security Council cleared the way for possible war crimes prosecutions by the International Criminal Court, a permanent tribunal set up to handle prosecutions related to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.",
"the International Criminal Court is based on a treaty signed by 106 nations -- excluding Sudan.",
"Prosecutors are investigating offenses in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and the Central African Republic.",
"Once the International Criminal Court indicts someone, authorities in one country or another have the power to detain the indicted person for trial at The Hague.",
"That has not happened in the case of Harun and Kushayb.",
"An arrest warrant for Harun charges that Harun was involved in the murder, rape, torture and forced displacement of civilians.",
"the International Criminal Court also says Harun encouraged such illegal acts in public speeches during Harun's tenure as minister of state for the interior.",
"the International Criminal Court says Kushayb led several thousand militia members and personally participated in attacks against civilians.",
"An arrest warrant outlines numerous cases of murder, rape and inhumane acts.",
"In Sudan, however, senior government leaders told CNN that reports of atrocities in Darfur were exaggerated.",
"\"Yes, there has been a war and some people have died, but it's not like what has been reflected in the media,\" said Interior Minister Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamid.",
"Musa Halil, an adviser to Sudan's president, has been accused by the United States of leading a militia responsible for atrocities.",
"And the U.N. Security Council has frozen his assets.",
"Yet he denies any wrongdoing.",
"\"There is no genocide,\" he told CNN.",
"\"Most people came to the refugee camps because of the pressure and were used there for political marketing.\"",
"Others told a different story.",
"In Darfur, eyewitnesses spoke of government airplanes and helicopters attacking defenseless civilians just four months ago.",
"They said the government struck in coordination with militiamen riding horses and camels -- a classic pattern that has unfolded around Darfur in recent years.",
"More than 115 people were killed in that attack, they said, and nearly 58,000 people fled.",
"CNN's Nic Robertson contributed to this report ."

"(CNN) --",
"A high school valedictorian's plans to study medicine at a California state university have run headlong into the federal government's attempts to return Arthur Mkoyan, 17 and Arthur Mkoyan, 17's family to Armenia.",
"Arthur Mkoyan, 17, was 2 years old when Arthur Mkoyan, 17's family came to the United States.",
"\"I haven't been in Armenia since I was 2, so I don't really know anything about the place,\" said Arthur Mkoyan, 17.",
"\"All I've seen is just videos my mom has watched on the Internet.\"",
"Mkoyan's long-term plans were turned upside down one morning in April when two immigration officers arrived at the door of his family's house.",
"\"two immigration officers took both of my parents, and two immigration officers released my mom because my mom had to take care of us, since me and Arthur Mkoyan, 17's brother are minors,\" Arthur Mkoyan, 17 recalled.",
"\"But instead two immigration officers took my dad away to a detention center in Arizona.\"",
"Mkoyan, who has a grade-point average above 4.0 -- extra credit for Advanced Placement classes makes that possible -- is set to graduate next week from Bullard High School in Fresno, California.",
"Watch students from Arthur's school talk about Arthur Mkoyan, 17's case » .",
"Ten days later, Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to deport Arthur Mkoyan, 17 and Arthur Mkoyan, 17's family to the Armenian capital city of Yerevan, the same city Arthur Mkoyan, 17's family fled in fear 16 years ago.",
"Back then, Mkoyan's father, Ruben Mkoian (Mkoian and Mkoian's son spell he and his son's last names differently), was a sergeant in an Armenian equivalent of a department of motor vehicles, according to a court document.",
"\"Mkoian was approached with a bribe to register stolen vehicles.",
"Mkoian refused.",
"A co-worker took a bribe.",
"Mkoian reported the incident to the chief of the DMV, who told Mkoian to mind Mkoian's own business,\" the document states.",
"\"Subsequently, Mkoian and Mkoian's family were subjected to attacks Mkoian believed were attempts to silence Mkoian about corruption at the DMV.\"",
"In what his family considers one such attempt, his family's house was set on fire in 1992.",
"That led Mkoian to send Mkoian's family to Russia and then to the United States, Arthur Mkoyan said.",
"his family arrived in the United States in 1995 on six-month tourist visas, according to Virginia Kice, a public information officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.",
"his family settled in Fresno, where Mkoian worked as a truck driver and Mkoian's wife worked in a jewelry store.",
"his family set about living his family's lives, which soon included a younger brother for Arthur.",
"But after the visas expired, his family's application to remain in the United States was denied.",
"In 2002, an immigration judge ruled that his family had no legal basis to remain in the country, Kice said.",
"After his family's application to the Board of Immigration Appeals was rejected, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year denied his family's petition for a hearing.",
"the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was unpersuaded by Mkoian's assertion that Mkoian might still be subject to reprisal if Mkoian were to return.",
"\"Mkoian's fear that Armenian officials would be unable or unwilling to protect Mkoian seems unfounded because Mkoian provided little evidence that Armenian officials were unable or unwilling to protect Mkoian in the past,\" the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said.",
"To Kice, it's a simple matter of enforcing the law.",
"\"I would remind people that his family had ample access to due process,\" Kice said.",
"\"The case has been in litigation for more than 10 years.",
"Immigration experts on every level determined that they had no legal basis to be in the United States.\"",
"Kice noted that the government agreed to delay their deportation so Arthur Mkoyan, 17 can graduate with Arthur Mkoyan, 17's class.",
"Arthur Mkoyan, 17's schoolmates at Bullard are shocked that Arthur Mkoyan, 17's academic achievements haven't helped Arthur Mkoyan, 17's case.",
"\"It's really hard to get good grades in this school,\" freshman Alex Stewart told affiliate KGPE.",
"\"It's a challenging school, so to get a 4.0, you really gotta try.\"",
"Still, a longer-term reprieve remains possible, if unlikely.",
"Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, may attempt to pass a \"private bill\" that would allow his family to remain in the United States.",
"\"Our office is looking into The case,\" said Scott Gerber, a spokesman for the senator.",
"But the odds against it are long.",
"There is \"almost no chance\" that his family's quest for a private bill will succeed, said Daniel Kowalski, editor-in-chief of Bender's Immigration Bulletin.",
"\"Very few are being passed,\" Daniel Kowalski, editor-in-chief of Bender's Immigration Bulletin said.",
"In fact, of the 21 private immigration bills introduced last year, none was enacted.",
"In 2006, 117 were introduced, and none was enacted; in 2005, 98 were introduced, and four were enacted.",
"But the filing itself would buy the family time, since the filing itself suspends any efforts to deport his family until a \"private bill\" that would allow the family to remain in the United States's fate is determined.",
"Arthur Mkoyan, 17 appeared undaunted.",
"Arthur Mkoyan, 17 appealed to a reporter to publicize Arthur Mkoyan, 17's e-mail address ([email protected]) so Arthur Mkoyan, 17 can forward any letters of support to Feinstein.",
"Meanwhile, the academic skills Arthur Mkoyan, 17 has displayed in Fresno may not easily translate to college in Armenia.",
"Arthur Mkoyan, 17 said Arthur Mkoyan, 17 understands only a few words of Armenian."

"a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq also preserves thousands of earmarks for lawmakers who will deliver thousands of earmarks to constituents just in time for the holidays.",
"The final vote came at about 11 p.m. ET Tuesday -- after hours of debate that included two more attempts by the Senate Democrats to tie war funding to a plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.",
"Those efforts failed, as have dozens of others in the House and Senate since Democrats took control of Congress last year.",
"Earlier, members voted to add $40 billion for the war in Iraq that had been removed by the House -- which passed the spending bill on Monday.",
"a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq also includes $30 billion for troops in Afghanistan.",
"Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut who co-sponsored the push to reinstate the Iraq money",
"called its approval \"a very powerful bipartisan message of support for our men and women serving in Iraq.\"",
"White House officials have said President Bush would sign a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq if the Iraq money was added.",
"In the weeks leading up to the vote, President Bush had repeatedly pushed members of Congress to approve a military spending bill that did not place troop-withdrawal requirements on the military in Iraq.",
"a military spending bill that did not place troop-withdrawal requirements on the military in Iraq wraps together 11 of the 12 government spending bills for 2008 -- except for that of the Department of Defense, which was already funded.",
"Facing a president determined to keep spending in check and a unified Republican minority in the House and Senate, Democrats have been stymied at nearly every turn in Democrats's attempts to increase spending on Democrats's domestic priorities.",
"Fearing a politically dangerous government shutdown, Democratic leaders ultimately gave in to President Bush's top line number and trimmed $22 billion from the measure.",
"But Democrats stemmed Democrats's losses somewhat by shifting some funding from President Bush's priorities to Democrats's own.",
"And Democrats added billions more above President Bush's top line in \"emergency\" funding for veterans health care, California fires, border security and more.",
"The government spending watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, which scrambled Monday to pore over a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq, said the nearly 1,500-page bill that was made public late Sunday night has identified almost 9,000 earmarks worth $7.4 billion.",
"Many of almost 9,000 earmarks worth $7.4 billion avoided normal congressional scrutiny and were \"airdropped\" -- or slipped in without going through normal committee consideration -- into the final bill, the nearly 1,500-page bill that was made public late Sunday night said.",
"But Sen. Robert Byrd, D-West Virginia, chairman of the budget-writing appropriations committee, said a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq represents a dramatic decrease in pork-barrel projects from the one approved by President Bush two years ago -- when Republicans controlled Congress.",
"\"The total dollars that are earmarked is reduced -- hear me now -- by 43 percent,\" Sen. Robert Byrd, D-West Virginia, chairman of the budget-writing appropriations committee said Tuesday from the Senate floor.",
"\"That ain't chicken feed.\"",
"Arguing for a plan that would have begun pulling troops from Iraq within 90 days, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, became emotional as he called the President Bush administration's efforts in Iraq \"a continuing quagmire.\"",
"\"The best way to end this charade and protect our troops and our national security is to put the Iraqis on notice that the Iraqis need to take responsibility for the Iraqis's future,\" Kennedy said.",
"\"Unless there's a binding timeline for the redeployment of our troops, the Iraqis will not feel the need to make the compromises essential for a political solution.\"",
"a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq now goes back to the House for approval in its revised form.",
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expects a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq to pass the House, although House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will vote against a huge government spending bill that includes billions of dollars requested by President Bush to continue the war in Iraq because of the war funds added in the Senate version.",

"Doris Salcedo has created a mystery at London's Tate Modern gallery by refusing to reveal how Doris Salcedo seemingly managed to crack open a concrete floor.",
"\"Shibboleth\" is Colombian artist Doris Salcedo's first public commission in the United Kingdom.",
"The work by Doris Salcedo begins as a hairline crack then widens and deepens as Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern snakes across the full 167 meters (548 feet) of the former power station's Turbine Hall.",
"Doris Salcedo said \"Shibboleth,\" a statement about racism, took Doris Salcedo more than a year to make but has revealed little else about Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern's construction.",
"Doris Salcedo apparently created Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern elsewhere and spent the past five weeks installing Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern in the Tate, on the south bank of the River Thames.",
"Doris Salcedo refused to say how Doris Salcedo managed seemingly to crack open a concrete floor.",
"\"What is important is the meaning of Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern.",
"The making of it is not important,\" Doris Salcedo said.",
"Asked how deep Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern goes, Doris Salcedo replied: \"It's bottomless.",
"It's as deep as humanity.\"",
"Visitors meanwhile are warned not to trip on Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern.",
"London director Nicholas Serota insisted Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern was no optical illusion.",
"\"Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern has been made in the most painstaking, meticulous way by Doris Salcedo and Doris Salcedo's team before Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern was slowly inserted into the Turbine Hall,\" Tate director Nicholas Serota told the Press Association.",

"Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern's not an illusion - it's there, Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern's real.",
"\"From London's point of view, there were only two questions: could we realize it in the way Doris Salcedo envisaged?",
"And once Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern was created, would Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern damage the structural integrity of the building forever?",
"\"The answer to the first was yes, and to the second was no.\"",
"Tate director Nicholas Serota declined to elaborate further.",
"The installation will be removed next April by filling in Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern.",
"Tate director Nicholas Serota said: \"There is a crack, there is a line, and eventually there will be a scar and that scar will remain.",
"It will remain as a memory of the work and also as a memorial to the issues Doris Salcedo touches on.\"",
"The artist said Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern represents the gap between white Europeans and the rest of humanity.",
"Wire mesh is on show because it is \"the most common means of control used to define borders and divisions.\"",
"Salcedo said of Work by Colombian sculptor at London's Tate Modern: \"It represents borders, the experience of immigrants, the experience of segregation, the experience of racial hatred.",
"\"It is the experience of a Third World person coming into the heart of Europe.",

"U.S. health officials said Wednesday U.S. health officials have found a contaminant in a blood-thinning drug produced by Baxter Healthcare Corp. that has been linked to more than a dozen deaths in the United States.",
"a blood-thinning drug produced by Baxter Healthcare Corp. that has been linked to more than a dozen deaths in the United States can keep potentially life-threatening blood clots from forming in the veins, arteries, and lungs.",
"In early February, the Food and Drug Administration launched an investigation and then a recall of some forms of the product.",
"The scrutiny began after a spike in reports of health problems associated with heparin, a drug made by Baxter from pig intestines at plants in China and Wisconsin.",
"Though the cause of the problems has not been determined, FDA investigators found \"a heparin-like compound -- that is not heparin -- present in some of the active pharmaceutical ingredients\" in both facilities, said Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.",
"the contaminant tested, \"reacts like heparin in some of the conventional tests used for heparin,\" which explains why it was not picked up, Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research told reporters in a conference call.",
"No causal link between the contaminant and the adverse events has been established yet, Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said.",
"Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research added that it was not clear whether the contaminant was added accidentally, as part of the processing or deliberately.",
"It also was not clear whether the contaminant was introduced in the company's plant in Wisconsin or the one in China, Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said.",
"Though Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said the exact structure of the contaminant has not been identified, \"the contaminant is similar to heparin glycans.\"",
"Glycans are polysaccharides, a complex class of carbohydrate.",
"Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research added it was unclear whether other heparin products used outside the United States might also contain the product.",
"Later this week, FDA will release recommendations on how manufacturers and regulators can screen for the contaminant, Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said.",
"Last year, pet food made in China was found to be tainted with an ingredient that replaced more expensive protein and that initial tests did not identify as a contaminant.",
"Asked if the heparin contamination could be a similar case, Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said, \"It's possible.\"",
"Doctors have used the blood-thinner for 60 years with \"no history of any problems whatsoever,\" said the FDA commissioner, Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach.",
"Its intravenous use can keep potentially life-threatening blood clots from forming in the veins, arteries and lungs.",
"the FDA commissioner, Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach said it would be \"disingenuous\" to expect FDA would be able to inspect \"every institution in every case.\"",
"Over the last fiscal year, FDA reported having inspected more than 1,000 foreign plants, a record.",
"Since FDA issued FDA's report that 19 deaths had been linked to the drug since January 1, 2007, it has received word of another 27 deaths, \"but many of those do not fit our definition of this type of event,\" Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research said.",
"In all, FDA has received 785 heparin-linked reports of adverse events -- including difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating and plummeting blood pressure that can lead to life-threatening shock.",
"\"They're continuing to come in fairly rapidly because there has been a lot of reporting of this,\" she said.",
"In a written statement, Baxter said Baxter's tests have suggested \"that the root cause may be associated with the crude heparin, sourced from China, or from the subsequent processing of that product before that product reaches Baxter.\"",
"Meanwhile, Scientific Protein Laboratories LLC, which supplies the company with the active pharmaceutical ingredients, issued a statement saying it is working with the FDA, Baxter and outside experts to identify the cause of the adverse events.",
"\"Thus far, no conclusions have been reached about the root cause,\" it said.",
"\"It is premature to conclude that the heparin active pharmaceutical ingredient sourced from China and provided by SPL to Baxter is responsible for these adverse events.\"",
"It said that its voluntary recall of suspect product was being made as a precaution.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"English football fans hoping to travel to Moscow for this month's Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea face spiraling costs and an anxious wait for visas amid a simmering diplomatic row between the UK and Russia.",
"Chelsea fans hoping to follow their side to Moscow face hefty expenses and an anxious wait over visas.",
"Upwards of 50,000 fans are expected to travel to the May 21 match from UK, defying expensive flights and warnings about a shortage of accommodation in the Russian capital -- one of the world's most expensive cities.",
"But there were fears on Thursday that Russia's stringent visa requirements for British citizens could further complicate matters for fans.",
"In a statement, the Russian Embassy in London pledged to fulfil the Russian Embassy in London's obligations to enable all fans with tickets to the game to travel.",
"But the Russian Embassy in London also criticized UK for tightening restrictions on Russians traveling in the opposite direction, imposed following the apparent murder of the exiled Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in 2006.",
"\"If we had an agreement similar to the one Russia has in place with EU, most problems could have been avoided,\" a statement said.",
"The embassy also criticized UK for imposing \"cumbersome\" visa requirements on supporters of the Russian side, Zenit St. Petersburg, which could reach the UEFA Cup final in Manchester on May 14, including biometric tests, online-only applications and interviews with consulate officials.",
"But there was speculation as well on Thursday that Moscow may be prepared to temporarily lift some visa requirements in a gesture of good will.",
"UK's Times newspaper quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying that Russian authorities would waive the need for visa applicants to produce a letter of invitation in the case of ticket holders.",
"UEFA communications director William Gaillard praised Russia's flexibility on Wednesday and said a simplified visa application procedure could be in place by the end of the week.",
"\"The Russians have shown great flexibility and hopefully within the next 48 hours we will be announcing a more simplified procedure for visas to make it easier for fans to get to Moscow,\" UEFA communications director William Gaillard told UK's Press Association.",
"Manchester United Chief Executive David Gill said on Wednesday that those traveling on official club packages were assured of a visa.",
"\"If you are on an organized trip, your ticket will be your visa.",
"The actual specifics and fine details will be addressed in the next day or so and then we will communicate with the fans.",
"\"Everyone recognizes in order for the match to be a showcase, which the match clearly will be, you have to ease entry into Russia while not totally doing away with what the Russian authorities require.\"",
"But Manchester United Chief Executive David Gill warned that demand for tickets would leave many fans disappointed: \"We could sell well over 100,000 tickets for this final, so there will be a lot of disappointed people.\"",
"Both United and Chelsea have each received around 21,000 tickets for the match.",
"But with officially allocated tickets expected to be snapped up by season ticket holders and loyalty scheme members, many more fans are expected to travel to Moscow independently.",
"Flights from London to Moscow on the day of the match, returning the following day were available for around $1,600 over the internet on Thursday.",
"But the British foreign office Web site advised Thursday that there were no hotel vacancies in Moscow and warned supporters that supporters would not be able to find a room on arrival.",
"Meanwhile, UK sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe urged fans to be on fans's best behavior in Moscow, warning that trouble could derail England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.",
"\"I was really impressed and pleased that the European champions final will be an all-English final but that brings some responsibilities for the teams involved and their supporters,\" UK sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe told PA.",
"\"the match should be a great advert for the Premier League and for English football but the match will also be the place everyone will be looking at if anything goes wrong.",
"\"If that happened it would not only be damaging for the two teams participating but could also have a big impact on the reputation of our game at a time when we are trying to encourage football nations to support our World Cup bid.\"",
"With the match due to kick off at 2245 local time, the British foreign office Web site advised supporters \"not to let alcohol spoil supporters's Champions League final experience,\" pointing out that smoking and drinking in Red Square are illegal.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A woman who helped raise Lisa Miller with Janet Jenkins's female partner in Vermont before the pair split can visit the girl in Virginia even though Virginia doesn't recognize same-sex unions, a court ruled Friday.",
"Janet Jenkins with Isabella, the daughter she helped raise with former partner Lisa Miller.",
"Virginia's Supreme Court ruled that Janet Jenkins and Lisa Miller's civil union in 2000 gave Vermont, and its law on same-sex unions, jurisdiction over their subsequent custody and visitation disputes.",
"Lisa Miller moved to Virginia with Lisa Miller in 2003, and a Vermont court granted Janet Jenkins visitation rights.",
"But Lisa Miller took the case to a Virginia court, which ruled that Janet Jenkins had no such rights there.",
"the case was considered by legal experts to be the first conflict between two state courts over a major legal question arising from same-sex unions.",
"Janet Jenkins's attorney, Joseph Price of the Washington law firm Arent Fox, said Friday's ruling \"just affirms the old principle that when these kinds of custody and visitation disputes begin in one state, that's where they should remain.\"",
"\"You can't shop them around to another state,\" Price said.",
"\"Virginia really had no choice but to enforce judgments and judicial orders from Vermont.\"",
"Vermont is one of the few states that allow same-sex partners to enter into a civil union.",
"Two years after Vermont recognized Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins' relationship, Lisa Miller gave birth to a daughter, Isabella, conceived through artificial insemination.",
"The relationship deteriorated, and Lisa Miller and the baby moved to Virginia.",
"A Vermont court later granted Lisa Miller a dissolution of the civil union and granted custody of the child to her and visitation rights to Janet Jenkins.",
"Lisa Miller then asked the courts in Virginia -- which does not recognize same-sex unions or marriages -- to take jurisdiction of the dispute.",
"A Virginia state judge eventually ruled that Janet Jenkins had no \"parentage or visitation rights.\"",
"The Virginia high court ruling Friday returned the case to Vermont's control, meaning Janet Jenkins can visit the girl, who is now 6.",
"Lisa Miller's attorney, Mathew Staver, said he was \"disappointed Vermont sidestepped the larger legal questions.\"",
"\"the case shows that one state is not an island in the same-sex marriage dispute, and underscores having state laws that protect traditional one-man, one-woman marriages,\" said Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, a law firm that fights on behalf of what it calls \"traditional families.\"",
"Lisa Miller said in 2005 that Lisa Miller was doing what was best for Lisa Miller's daughter and was no longer a lesbian.",
"\"I am Lisa Miller's mom.",
"I did conceive Lisa Miller; I birthed Lisa Miller,\" Lisa Miller said.",
"\"I'm raising Lisa Miller.",
"And in my opinion, Lisa Miller needs to stay with Lisa Miller 100 percent of the time, because I am the only person that Lisa Miller identifies as a mom.\"",
"Lisa Miller lives with Lisa Miller in Winchester, Virginia.",
"Janet Jenkins did not offer an immediate reaction to the ruling but said in 2005 that Janet Jenkins was only fighting for Janet Jenkins's rights as a parent.",
"\"Justice will be served for Lisa Miller,\" Janet Jenkins said.",
"\"I believe that.",
"And I'll do whatever it takes.",
"I'll be with Lisa Miller for as long as I can, or I'll be without Lisa Miller for as long as I have to, but I'm Lisa Miller's mom.",
"\"Lisa Miller's born here [in Vermont].",
"Lisa Miller's always here.\"",
"Price said Jenkins, who lives in Fair Haven, Vermont, was supposed to visit Lisa Miller last weekend, but Lisa Miller didn't appear with Lisa Miller.",
"the ruling comes a week after the California Supreme Court's refusal to delay the California Supreme Court's's recent decision legalizing same-sex marriage in the state.",
"Massachusetts also allows same-sex marriages; Vermont and three other states permit civil unions, and 12 other states give gay and lesbian couples some legal rights.",
"Virginia amended Virginia's constitution in 2007 to decree that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman."

"The top military and civilian leaders of the U.S. Air Force were forced out Thursday over the handling of nuclear weapons, Defense secretary said.",
"the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley, left, and Secretary Michael Wynne have stepped down.",
"Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley and Secretary Michael W. Wynne resigned over the department's concern over two incidents, including the August flight of a B-52 bomber that flew across the country with nuclear weapons.",
"\"Focus of the Air Force leadership has drifted\" in terms of handling nuclear weapons and equipment, Defense secretary said.",
"In August, a B-52 bomber flew from North Dakota to Louisiana with the crew unaware that six nuclear-tipped missiles were on board.",
"Four officers were relieved of duty afterward, including three colonels.",
"Defense secretary also cited this year's discovery that components designed to arm and fuse nuclear warheads were accidentally shipped to Taiwan in 2006.",
"Watch Defense secretary talk about the firings » .",
"Critics also cite last month's news that the U.S. Air Force's 5th Bomb Wing failed a defense \"nuclear surety\" inspection -- despite having months to prepare and being under close scrutiny after the previous incidents.",
"a defense \"nuclear surety\" inspection found deficiencies in the Air Force's 5th Bomb Wing's ability to protect the Air Force's 5th Bomb Wing's part of the nation's nuclear stockpile.",
"The resignations come after a report on a Navy admiral's investigation that criticized the U.S. Air Force's reactions to the previous incidents.",
"Defense secretary said a report on a Navy admiral's investigation that criticized the Air Force's reactions to the incidents \"depicts a pattern of poor performance\" in which the U.S. Air Force brass didn't act to improve security after mishaps and the U.S. Air Force personnel handling nuclear weapons consistently failed to follow existing rules.",
"the U.S. Air Force leaders \"not only fell short in terms of specific acts, Air Force leaders failed to recognize systemic problems, to address systemic problems or, when beyond Air Force leaders's authority to act, to call the attention of superiors to systemic problems,\" Defense secretary said.",
"a Navy admiral's investigation that criticized the Air Force's reactions to the incidents found that although the Taiwan incident didn't compromise the integrity of the U.S. nuclear force, the Taiwan incident represented \"a significant failure\" by the Air Force to ensure sensitive military components, Defense secretary said.",
"Defense secretary said a report on a Navy admiral's investigation that criticized the Air Force's reactions to the incidents concluded that erosion in the branch's command and oversight standards helped lead to the previous incidents, and that the previous incidents could have been prevented if the oversight programs had functioned correctly.",
"Defense secretary said Defense secretary asked for the resignations after consulting President Bush.",
"Sen. Carl Levin, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Service committee, welcomed Defense secretary's decision.",
"\"Defense secretary's focus on accountability is essential and had been absent from the office of the Secretary of Defense for too long,\" Sen. Carl Levin, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Service committee said.",
"\"The safety and security of America's nuclear weapons must receive the highest priority, just as it must in other countries.\"",
"Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee, also welcomed the resignations.",
"Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee said Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee's long been concerned about what Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee called a series of dangerous the U.S. Air Force missteps in handling nuclear weapons.",
"\"The magnitude and frequency of these errors indicate a deep-seated problem within the U.S. Air Force culture, practice and training,\" Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee said.",
"\"The entire Department of Defense should immediately recommit The entire Department of Defense to ensuring the safety and security of our nuclear stockpile before one of these mistakes has lethal consequences.\"",
"A senior military source said the August nuclear weapons incident was the straw that broke the camel's back but that other leadership issues also factored into Moseley's and Wynne's resignations.",
"A previous investigation into the B-52 flight uncovered a \"lackadaisical\" attention to detail in day-to-day operations at the air bases involved, an the U.S. Air Force official said in October.",
"Maj. Gen. Dick Newton, assistant deputy chief of staff for operations, said A previous investigation into the B-52 flight found \"a failure to follow procedures\" by \"a limited number of airmen\" at the two bases.",
"Newton defended procedures\" by \"a limited number of airmen\" at the two bases themselves.",
"Wynne is not the first secretary of a military branch to resign since Defense secretary became Defense secretary.",
"In March 2007, Defense secretary announced the resignation of Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey in the wake of reports of substandard conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.",
"CNN's Jamie McIntyre and Barbara Starr contributed to this report."

"last month's incident, in which she was forced to painfully remove the piercings behind a curtain as she heard snickers from male TSA officers nearby occurred at the Lubbock, Texas, airport.",
"its officers at a Texas airport \"rightly insisted that the alarm that was raised be resolved,\" The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement posted on TSA's Web site Friday afternoon.",
"\"The Transportation Security Administration supports the thoroughness of the officers involved as they were acting to protect the passengers and crews of the flights departing Lubbock that day.\"",
"However, \"The Transportation Security Administration has reviewed the procedures procedures and agrees that procedures need to be changed,\" a statement posted on its Web site Friday afternoon said.",
"\"In the future, The Transportation Security Administration will inform passengers that passengers have the option to resolve the alarm that was raised through a visual inspection of the article in lieu of removing the item in question.\"",
"Woman and Woman's lawyer, celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, said they want a public apology from the agency, as well as a guarantee that future passengers with piercings will be treated with dignity and respect.",
"Allred pointed out that The Transportation Security Administration's Web site says passengers with piercings can undergo a pat-down inspection if passengers with piercings do not want to take passengers with piercings's piercings out -- an option Allred said Woman was never offered.",
"\"The conduct of The Transportation Security Administration was cruel and unnecessary,\" Allred told reporters at a news conference.",
"\"Last time that I checked, a nipple was not a dangerous weapon.\"",
"Allred said if an apology was not forthcoming, \"Mandi is going to have to consider her legal options.\"",
"Attempts by CNN to reach Allred for a response to the The Transportation Security Administration statement Friday afternoon were unsuccessful.",
"The Transportation Security Administration said in The Transportation Security Administration's statement The Transportation Security Administration acknowledges \"that procedures's procedures caused difficulty for the passenger involved and regrets (the) situation in which Woman found Woman.",
"The Transportation Security Administration appreciate Woman's raising awareness on this issue and The Transportation Security Administration are changing the procedures to ensure that this does not happen again.\"",

"Woman told the officer Woman had nipple piercings, Allred said, and a TSA officer called over another officer, who told Woman Woman would need to remove them.",
"\"Woman did not want to remove the piercings's nipple piercings,\" Allred said, reading from a letter Woman sent The Transportation Security Administration.",
"\"After nipple rings are inserted, the skin can often heal around the piercing and nipple rings can be extremely difficult and painful to remove.",
"In addition, once removed, the pierced skin may close up almost immediately, making it difficult and painful to reinsert the piercing.\"",
"More officers were called over, and the group grew to four male and two female The Transportation Security Administration officers, according to Woman.",
"Also, a small crowd of onlookers had started to gather.",
"The officers insisted that Woman remove the nipple rings, Allred said.",
"\"Woman felt humiliated by the scene that The officers were making,\" Allred said.",

"\"Arthur C. Clarke had been taken to hospital in what we had hoped was one of the slings and arrows of being 90, but in this case it was Arthur C. Clarke's final visit,\" Scott Chase, the secretary of the nonprofit Arthur C. Clarke Foundation said.",
"In a videotaped 90th birthday message to fans, Arthur C. Clarke said Arthur C. Clarke still hoped to see some sign of intelligent life beyond Earth, more work on alternatives to fossil fuels -- and \"closer to home,\" an end to the 25-year civil war in Sri Lanka between the government and ethnic Tamil separatists.",
"\"I dearly wish to see lasting peace established in Sri Lanka as soon as possible,\" Arthur C. Clarke said.",
"\"But I'm aware that peace cannot just be wished -- peace requires a great deal of hard work, courage and persistence.\"",

"Austrian investigators Monday released more details about the elaborate underground cellar where Fritzl kept Fritzl's daughter imprisoned for 24 years, along with three of their children.",
"Fritzl admitted to authorities Fritzl raped Fritzl's daughter and fathered daughter's children.",
"Investigators believe Fritzl planned to build Fritzl as early as 1978, shortly after, according to Fritzl's daughter, Fritzl began raping daughter at age 11 or 12, said police spokesman Franz Polzer.",
"The 73-year-old Austrian began building the dungeon as part of an addition to Fritzl's home that year, and simply added the hidden space -- which was not recorded in any building plans -- police spokesman Franz Polzer said.",
"It took Fritzl until 1983 to finish the addition, police spokesman Franz Polzer said.",
"Investigators recently discovered another door to the dungeon prison, which was blocked by a 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) steel and concrete door that Fritzl probably stopped using when Fritzl later constructed an electronic door for a second entrance, police spokesman Franz Polzer said.",
"Fritzl, who police believe was the only one with access to Fritzl, had to travel through an elaborate maze to get to the prison.",
"\"You would have to open up a total of eight doors, and ... (for the) last door which would go into this space (where the family was imprisoned), you would also have to use electronic opening apparatus,\" police spokesman Franz Polzer said.",
"\"We will have to find out perhaps later from now if perhaps there are other spaces we haven't discovered yet, and perhaps maybe there is something else interesting.\"",
"Fritzl was recently arrested and confessed to holding Fritzl's daughter, Elisabeth, captive in the dungeon under the Fritzl home for decades, repeatedly raping her and fathering seven children -- six of whom survived.",
"Three of seven children -- six of whom survived were adopted by Josef Fritzl and Fritzl's wife after Fritzl concocted the ruse that daughter had left the babies on their doorstep.",
"The story of the family's imprisonment began to unravel more than two weeks ago, when one of the children still in the dungeon, 19-year-old Kerstin Fritzl, fell seriously ill with convulsions.",
"The father agreed to take her to a hospital, the first time she was allowed out of the prison where Fritzl had spent her entire life with her mother and two brothers.",
"Dr. Albert Reiter, who is treating Kerstin, said Monday that while her condition is still \"grave,\" her condition \"has improved somewhat.\"",
"\"She has become more stable, but despite that we have to continue to keep her under sedation and give her respiratory help,\" Reiter said, noting it is not clear how long she will be kept under sedation.",
"daughter and daughter's two sons were reunited with daughter's mother, Rosemarie, who police say knew nothing about the basement prison.",
"Elisabeth and her two sons were also reunited with the three children that Josef had taken from daughter.",
"Elisabeth and her two sons is living in secluded quarters at a psychiatric clinic, where Elisabeth and her two sons are finding a daily routine and adjusting to sunlight -- something the two boys had never seen -- according to the clinic's chief doctor.",
"\"Elisabeth and her two sons have, in just the last couple of days, increased Elisabeth and her two sons's sensitivity to light,\" Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said.",
"\"So we have been able to equip them with protective sunglasses.\"",
"Five-year-old Felix is \"getting more and more lively,\" Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said.",
"\"Five-year-old Felix's fascinated by everything that Five-year-old Felix sees around Five-year-old Felix -- the fresh air, the light, and the food -- all of these things are helping them,\" Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said.",
"\"Slowly the color of their skin is changing back to a more normal (shade).\"",
"Dr. Berthold Kepplinger also said Elisabeth and her two sons are still getting to know each other and live together as a family.",
"Dr. Berthold Kepplinger praised daughter for having provided a daily living routine for daughter's children during her children's captivity.",
"Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said Elisabeth and her two sons is getting into a new routine in which the mother and the grandmother make breakfast for Elisabeth and her two sons, and her children make her children's beds.",
"However, Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said there is a noticeable difference between the pace of life of the children held in captivity and that of those who grew up in Fritzl's home.",
"Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said the mother, Elisabeth, takes breaks and naps several times a day.",
"The health of Elisabeth and her two sons is satisfactory and hospital staff have been able to let more and more light into the rooms where Elisabeth and her two sons is staying, Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said.",
"Dr. Berthold Kepplinger said her children, after being confined to a small space her children's entire lives, are finding it increasingly easy to be in larger spaces.",
"Initially the dungeon where Fritzl held Fritzl's daughter was only 35 square meters.",
"In 1993, around the time daughter was pregnant with daughter's fourth child, Fritzl decided to add to Fritzl, building another room that increased the entire living space of Elisabeth and her two sons to about 55 square meters.",
"On Wednesday or Thursday, prosecution authorities will attempt to question Fritzl -- who is no longer talking to police following Fritzl's initial confession, state prosecutor Gerhard Sedlacek said.",

"Prince Harry has been serving on the frontline in Afghanistan and seen combat, but Prince Harry's deployment will be reviewed after the news was leaked by a U.S. Web site, the UK Ministry of Defense confirmed Thursday.",
"Prince Harry was deployed 10 weeks ago and Prince Harry's fellow soldiers were sworn to secrecy.",
"\"At the end of the day I like to sort of be a normal person, and for once I think this is about as normal as I'm ever going to get,\" Prince Harry said in a recent interview.",
"Prince Harry is third in line to the British throne and serves with the Blues and Royals.",
"The information had been kept secret for security reasons, said Gen. Richard Dannatt, the chief of Britain's General Staff.",
"Because of the unique circumstances of Prince Harry's Afghanistan deployment.",
"CNN, as well as other news organizations, chose to honor an embargo requested by the military.",

"Prince Harry holds the rank of cornet -- equivalent to a second lieutenant -- and serves as a forward air controller.",

"the military confirmed Prince Harry's assignment after a U.S. Web site broke the news blackout -- and Dannatt expressed displeasure at the report.",

"\"I am very disappointed that foreign Web sites have decided to run this story without consulting us,\" Dannatt said in a written statement.",
"\"It was my judgment that with an understanding with the media not to broadcast Prince Harry's whereabouts, the risk in (deploying Prince Harry to Afghanistan) was manageable.",
"\"Now that the story is in the public domain, the Chief of Defence Staff and I will take advice from the operational commanders about whether Prince Harry's Afghanistan deployment can continue.\"",
"Last year, the military ruled Prince Harry could not be sent to Iraq because publicity about Prince Harry's Afghanistan deployment could put Prince Harry and Prince Harry's unit at risk.",
"But Dannatt said the experience has demonstrated \"that it is perfectly possible for Prince Harry to be employed just the same as other Army officers of Prince Harry's rank and experience.\"",
"\"Prince Harry's conduct on operations in Afghanistan has been exemplary,\" the general said.",
"\"Prince Harry has been fully involved in operations and has run the same risks as everyone else in Prince Harry's battle group.",

"Shortly after the news of Prince Harry's deployment broke, several Islamist Web sites posted messages alerting several Islamist Web sites's \"brethren\" in Afghanistan to be on the lookout for the royal soldier.",
"\"O brothers of monotheism, if you find anyone with unusual security in his battalion, know that this could be the Prince Harry.",
"We ask God that he gets caught on your hands,\" one such posting read.",

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left, greets Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Sunday.",
"\"Iraq today doesn't present any threat as Iraq used to be in the times of the former regime,\" Nuri al-Maliki told Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during a Sunday meeting between two leaders, according to a statement from the prime minister's office.",
"\"Iraq is a constitutional state based on the rule of law, and Iraq seeks to develop Iraq's relations with the regional countries based on cooperation and mutual respect,\" Nuri al-Maliki said.",
"Earlier, Iran's state-run news agency IRNA quoted Nuri al-Maliki as saying that \"Iraq would not allow Iraq's soil to be used as a base to damage the security of the neighboring countries, including Iran.\"",
"Nuri al-Maliki's remarks come as the United States and Iraq are trying to reach a bilateral agreement on how long the U.S. military will remain in Iraq and what role it will play in Iraq's security.",
"But Nuri al-Maliki media adviser Ali Hadi said negotiations between Iraq and the United States are in Iraq and the United States's \"very early stages\" and were not part of Sunday's talks.",
"Watch Ahmadinejad and Nuri al-Maliki sit down for talks » .",
"\"The treaty is purely an Iraqi-American treaty.",
"The Iranians have nothing to do with The treaty,\" al-Maliki media adviser Ali Hadi said.",
"\"We will not discuss the progress or the key elements of agreements or disagreements with them because this is an Iraqi issue.\"",
"The proposed U.S.-Iraqi pact has triggered street protests in Iraq, where many suspect the deal could lead to the establishment of permanent American bases, a long-term presence of U.S. troops and a weakening of Iraqi government control over U.S. troops.",
"Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose militia was the target of a U.S.-backed Iraqi clampdown in Basra and Baghdad recently, has called for weekly protests against the agreement.",
"al-Maliki and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met Sunday afternoon, with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling on Iraq's neighbors and the United Nations to help restore security and stability to Iraq, IRNA reported.",
"And Nuri al-Maliki thanked Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his call for an end to longstanding U.N. sanctions against Iraq that date back to the 1991 Persian Gulf war.",
"Iran has long called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, which the United States invaded in 2003.",
"Meanwhile, the United States has accused Iran of arming and training \"criminal\" Shiite militias in Iraq and of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, allegations the Iranians deny.",
"It is Nuri al-Maliki's third visit to Iran since Nuri al-Maliki became prime minister more than two years ago.",
"The two countries, which are neighbors, both have Shiite Muslim majorities, and Nuri al-Maliki's ruling coalition is dominated by Shiite religious parties long backed by Iran.",
"Adnan Pachachi, a leading Sunni Arab member of Iraq's parliament, told CNN Pachachi, a former foreign minister wanted Nuri al-Maliki to call on Iran to stop supporting armed factions in Iraq.",
"\"I think this has to stop,\" Pachachi told CNN.",
"\"I hope that Nuri al-Maliki will make it absolutely clear that Iraqis of all parties, of all sectarian origins and ethnic origins, are strongly opposed to Iran's attempt to interfere in Iraq's affairs.\"",
"Pachachi, a former foreign minister, said Nuri al-Maliki's predecessor, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, allowed Iraq's security forces to be dominated by sectarian and ethnic militias, and that U.S. troops should remain until those influences are weeded out.",
"\"In the long run, it is in the interest of the United States to have a secure Iraq and armed forces and security forces of Iraq with undivided loyalty and allegiance to the state and not influenced by sectarian affiliations or party loyalties,\" he said."

"The fighting that erupted in Baghdad's Sadr City last month has killed 925 people and wounded 2,605, a top government official said Wednesday.",
"Iraqis mourn outside the Sadr City hospital Wednesday after several people were killed in clashes.",
"Most of the casualties consist of civilians and \"criminal elements attacked by us,\" said Tahseen al-Sheikhly, a spokesman for the Baghdad security crackdown called Operation Enforcing the Law.",
"Civilians are being caught in the crossfire because militants \"use the population to cover themselves,\" Tahseen al-Sheikhly, a spokesman for the Baghdad security crackdown called Operation Enforcing the Law said.",
"The number of Iraqi civilians killed and wounded nationwide continued to increase during April.",
"According to Iraq's Interior Ministry, 969 civilians died and 1,750 were wounded during April.",
"In March, the total was 923 civilians killed and 1,358 wounded -- a sharp increase over February, when 633 died and 701 were wounded.",
"Despite Shiite militants' calls for Iraq to honor a cease-fire, Tahseen al-Sheikhly, a spokesman for the Baghdad security crackdown called Operation Enforcing the Law said, the crackdown on insurgents will end when the insurgency ends.",
"\"I don't think there is a timetable for all this.",
"I can't tell that this will end tomorrow or the day after,\" Tahseen al-Sheikhly, a spokesman for the Baghdad security crackdown called Operation Enforcing the Law said.",
"The attacks \"will end when those aspects of violence end.\"",
"Tahseen al-Sheikhly, a spokesman for the Baghdad security crackdown called Operation Enforcing the Law echoed sentiments expressed earlier in the day by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who said Iraq will not accept the existence of a nongovernment armed force.",
"Word of the casualties came as the U.S. military said the U.S. military's highest death toll in seven months reflected an effort by Iraqi militants to reassert Iraqi militants after weeks of government crackdowns.",
"Watch how civilians are dying in the urban fighting (graphic content) » .",
"Three U.S. soldiers in Iraq were killed Wednesday in two roadside bombings, the U.S. military said.",
"The first incident occurred about 1 a.m. during a walking patrol in northern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.",
"The other two died about 4:50 p.m. when an improvised explosive device detonated in southern Baghdad, the U.S. military said.",
"Names of Three U.S. soldiers in Iraq were withheld pending notification of Three U.S. soldiers in Iraq's relatives.",
"Another U.S. soldier died Wednesday in a bombing in the northern Iraqi province of Ninevah, according to the U.S. military.",
"The deaths bring the April death toll for the U.S. military to 50, the highest monthly tally since September.",
"Most of the deaths occurred in and around Baghdad, and most were combat-related.",
"Since the war in Iraq began, in March 2003, 4,062 U.S. service members have died.",
"Over the past several weeks, militants have increased mortar and rocket attacks against civilian, government and military targets, said Gen. Kevin J. Bergner, spokesman for Multi-National Force-Iraq.",
"\"These indirect fire attacks have killed some 40 people in Baghdad, with some 370 others injured,\" Gen. Kevin J. Bergner, spokesman for Multi-National Force-Iraq said.",
"Troops \"are responding appropriately to These indirect fire attacks.",
"As we do so, we use precision strikes and take precaution to limit the damage,\" Bergner said.",
"\"We have said all along this will be a tough fight.\"",
"A member of the American-backed militia Sons of Iraq was killed Wednesday, and four others -- three of them also Sons of Iraq members -- were wounded, when an improvised explosive device detonated near the town of Hawija, Iraq, the U.S. military said.",
"The Sons of Iraq members were returning from a meeting when the explosion occurred, the U.S. military said.",
"The wounded were taken to a hospital in Hawija, about 70 kilometers (43 miles) southwest of Kirkuk.",
"U.S. and Iraqi troops have clashed with Shiite militants in Sadr City, a sprawling, crowded Shiite slum.",
"Many of the militants are loyal to cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and Muqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army militia.",
"Much of the fighting has been between Mehdi Army and U.S.-backed Iraqi security forces, which are dominated by a rival Shiite group, the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.",
"the fighting intensified March 25, when the Iraqi government announced a crackdown on \"criminal elements\" in Basra, a Shiite stronghold in southern Iraq.",
"the fighting soon spread through southern Iraq's Shiite heartland and into Shiite neighborhoods in the capital.",
"There also has been violence in areas dominated by Sunnis, such as Nineveh and Anbar provinces.",
"Skirmishes in Sadr City were aggravated this month when al-Sadr aide Sayyed Riyadh al-Nuri was shot outside al-Sadr aide Sayyed Riyadh al-Nuri's home in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.",
"al-Sadr suspended the activities of al-Sadr's's militia in August.",
"U.S. military commanders cited the suspension as a major reason for a decline in violence in Iraq.",
"Another factor, commanders said, was last year's troop escalation, dubbed the \"surge.\"",
"al-Sadr issued a cease-fire for al-Sadr's's followers March 30.",
"Fighting in Sadr City waned but remained intense, the U.S. military said.",
"al-Sadr has intermittently appealed for calm and threatened to rescind al-Sadr's cease-fire order in recent weeks.",
"Al-Maliki has threatened to boot al-Sadr's supporters from parliament if the Mehdi Army does not stand down.",
"An adviser to Al-Maliki said this week that Iraq would halt Iraq's assault on militias if the groups hand in the groups's weapons, turn in wanted militia members and refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Iraqi government and security forces.",
"al-Sadr has rejected the offer, saying Al-Maliki hasn't kept Al-Maliki's end of the present cease-fire -- under which, al-Sadr's supporters said, Iraq would free nonconvicted prisoners belonging to the Sadrist movement and discontinue attacks on al-Sadr's followers.",
"Last week, al-Sadr threatened to wage \"open war\" on U.S. troops if attacks do not cease.",
"al-Sadr issued a separate statement Friday to emphasize that al-Sadr's's militia would target \"occupiers\" and not Iraqis.",
"In a separate statement, al-Sadr also said al-Sadr would not accept the long-term agreement that the United States and Iraqi governments are crafting to replace the U.N. mandate for multinational forces in Iraq.",
"The mandate expires in December.",

"\"My speech to you is about the siege of Gaza and the way to liberate it,\" Bin Laden said.",

"The broadcast comes a day after another statement attributed to Bin Laden condemned European countries for siding with the United States in Afghanistan and for allowing the publication of cartoons considered insulting to Islam's prophet, Mohammed.",
"\"This is the greater and more serious tragedy, and the reckoning for it will be more severe,\" Bin Laden says.",

"\"The laws of men which clash with the legislation of Allah the Most High are null and void, aren't sacred and don't matter to us,\" Bin Laden said.",

"Bin Laden's last public statement was an audio message issued in December, when Bin Laden urged Bin Laden's followers in Iraq to continue battling U.S. troops there.",
"Wednesday marked the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.",
"The latest statement included no date reference beyond the cartoon controversy, which began in late 2005 when a Danish newspaper published a dozen cartoons about Islam, including one that depicted Mohammed wearing a turban resembling a bomb.",
"Violent protests erupted in early 2006 after other European newspapers reprinted the images as a matter of free speech.",
"Some Muslims believe it is forbidden by the Quran to show an image of Mohammed at all, and others were offended that the cartoon by artist Kurt Westergaard appeared to depict Mohammed as a terrorist.",
"Kurt Westergaard said Kurt Westergaard wanted Kurt Westergaard's cartoon to say that some people exploited Mohammed to legitimize terror.",
"Several newspapers in Denmark reprinted the controversial cartoons in February after Danish authorities arrested several people who were said to be plotting a \"terror-related assassination\" of the cartoonist.",

"Thousands of protesters clogged the tiny town of Jena, Louisiana, Thursday to show Thousands of protesters's indignation over what Thousands of protesters consider unjust, unequal punishments meted out in two racially charged incidents.",
"Officers lead Al Sharpton, center, through Jena, Louisiana, during Thursday's protest.",
"They swarmed over the grounds of Jena High School, where nooses were hung from a tree in early August 2006, about three months before six black teens known as the \"Jena 6\" were accused of beating a white classmate.",
"While the tension was palpable, news broke Thursday afternoon that the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal ordered a hearing within 72 hours to determine if the only one of the six still behind bars can be released.",
"The order has \"got to be good,\" Mychal Bell's attorney, Bob Noel, told CNN.",
"\"It means we have a day in court.",
"Any day in court is going to be a good day.\"",
"Earlier, there was an aura of a pilgrimage at the site where a tree once stood before school administrators had a tree removed.",
"Many people touched the ground and some retrieved a lump of dirt, said CNN's Eric Marrapodi.",
"CNN's Eric Marrapodi said the part of the town CNN's Eric Marrapodi was in was ill-prepared for the crowds -- no water or toilets were available.",
"In the background, groups shouted \"Black power\" and \"No justice, no peace.\"",
"The estimated 15000 to 20,000 demonstrators shut down the town of 3,000 in central Louisiana.",

"\"We are not a racial town.",
"We get along with each other, we get along fine.",
"This is something that got out of proportion.",
"It really has.\"",
"town's racial tensions were aggravated in August 2006, when three white teens hung the nooses the day after a group of black students received permission from school administrators to sit under the tree -- a place where white students normally congregated.",
"black students were briefly suspended from classes, despite the principal's recommendation black students be expelled, according to Donald Washington, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Louisiana.",
"A member of the LaSalle Parish School Board -- which had a role in supporting suspension instead of expulsion -- insisted the LaSalle Parish School Board -- which had a role in supporting suspension instead of expulsion -- is not prejudiced.",
"The panel felt the LaSalle Parish School Board -- which had a role in supporting suspension instead of expulsion -- took the appropriate action, Jonny Fryar said.",
"\"I talked to one of the parents, who called me and said their son thought it was a prank and naive to the fact of what it meant and their son was sorry,\" he said.",

"Because we have black students and white students playing football together.",
"black students and white students playing football together shake hands, get along.",
"This is an unfortunate incident.",
"We hope that the community can heal.\"",
"Although Donald Washington acknowledged the FBI and other investigators thought the noose incident bore the markings of a hate crime, a decision was made not to press federal charges because the case didn't meet federal criteria.",
"The students were under 18 and had no prior records, and no group such as a Ku Klux Klan was found to be behind their actions.",
"On December 4, about three months after the nooses were discovered, six teens, dubbed the Jena 6, were accused of beating classmate Justin Barker.",
"The six -- Mychal Bell, Robert Bailey Jr., Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis, Theo Shaw and Jesse Ray Beard -- were originally charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy, according to LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters.",
"Bell, the only one of the six who remains in jail, was to be sentenced Thursday after convictions for aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to do the same, but both charges have been vacated, awaiting further action by the district attorney.",
"Charges for Bailey, Jones and Theo Shaw also were reduced to battery and conspiracy when they were arraigned, while Purvis still awaits arraignment.",
"The charges for Beard, who was 14 at the time of the alleged crime, are unavailable because he's a juvenile.",
"Tina Jones, Purvis's mother, condemned LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters.",
"\"I hope that the D.A. will wake up and realize that the D.A.'s doing the wrong thing, and to release these kids,\" Jones said.",
"\"It's not equal.",
"The black people get the harsher extent of the law, whereas white people get a slap on the wrist per se.",
"So it is not equal here.\"",
"Jones maintained that Jones's son was not involved in the beating, but watched from a railing, and was not arrested that same day.",
"\"We have a long fight ahead of us, and we'll keep fighting until justice prevails in town,\" Jones said.",
"Purvis, who accompanied Purvis, was asked how Purvis's faring.",

"President Bush, who was asked about the rally at a news conference, said, \"The events in Louisiana have saddened me.",
"I understand the emotions.",
"The Justice Department and the FBI are monitoring the situation down there.",

"Martin Luther King III also attended, saying, \"This is about justice for the six young men.\"",
"Al Sharpton called town the beginning of the 21st century civil rights movement.",
"\"There's a Jena in every state,\" Jackson told the crowd in town on Thursday morning.",
"JoAnn Scales, who brought her three teenage children on a two-day bus journey from Los Angeles, California, to town, made the same point.",
"\"The reason I brought her three teenage children is because it could have been one of her three teenage children\" involved in an incident like the one in town.",
"\"If this can happen to them [the Jena 6] , it can happen to anyone,\" Scales said.",
"Ondra Hathaway was on the bus with Scales.",

"Thousands of people have taken to the streets of the South Korean capital in protest at the deal .",
"South Korea banned imports of U.S. beef in 2003 amid concerns over a case of mad cow disease in the United States.",
"The ban closed what was then the third-largest market for U.S. beef exporters.",
"It resumed limited imports last year -- allowing boneless beef from cattle under 30 months of age -- but that re-opening was subject to interruptions and closed altogether in October 2007.",
"A deal that South Korea and the United States struck last month bans the import of high-risk materials, like tonsils, brains, spinal cord marrow and a section of the small intestine, Agriculture Minister Chung Woon-chun said Thursday, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.",
"These parts pose the greatest risk of transmitting mad cow disease to humans.",
"The ban will be lifted within a few days, once South Korea's new import rules have been published.",
"The pending resumption of U.S. beef imports hasn't been without political costs for President Lee Myung-bak.",
"He apologized to South Korea last week for failing to fully understand concerns about mad cow disease.",
"In downtown Seoul, thousands of people have regularly staged protests, chanting \"We don't want crazy cows,\" since the deal to revive beef imports was announced.",

"In a letter to FAA, NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said that four other plane incidents \"provide clear and compelling evidence\" that controllers are sometimes operating while fatigued because of controllers's work schedules and poor use of rest periods.",

"\"Fourteen hours is still a very long day,\" NTSB board member Debbie Hersman said.",
"NTSB board member Debbie Hersman's conclusion is backed by 40 years of airline accident statistics compiled by FAA and cited Tuesday at an NTSB hearing.",
"\"After a duty period of about 10 to 12 hours, the number of observed accidents increased exponentially,\" NTSB staff member Malcolm Brenner said.",
"In February, the cockpit crew of a passenger plane operated by Mesa Airlines failed to answer air traffic controllers for 18 minutes, missed the flight's destination in Hawaii and continued for another 15 miles at 21,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean.",
"The investigation has shown that \"both pilots unintentionally fell asleep during cruise flight,\" NTSB staff member Jena Price said during a presentation to the safety board.",
"The crew of Go! Flight 1002 eventually answered concerned calls on the radio from ground controllers, turned around and safely landed.",

"Bangladesh police have detained or arrested more than 18,000 people in the last 11 days in a crackdown on crime Bangladesh police say is aimed at improving security ahead of December elections.",
"People arrested by Bangladesh police in Bangladesh police's latest round-up arrive at a jail in Dhaka.",
"Human rights groups decry the actions as politically motivated.",
"The round-ups began May 28, days after the two main political parties said the two main political parties would not cooperate with the military-backed caretaker government on organizing December elections.",
"Police told CNN that by Saturday 16,916 arrests had been made, while local media reported another 1,548 were arrested Sunday.",
"the two main political parties said hundreds of the two main political parties's party members had been taken into custody.",
"\"The timing and targets of the arrests are a dead giveaway the arrests are politically motivated,\" Brad Adams of the New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a statement.",
"\"It's obvious that they are paying the price for the two main political parties's refusal to accept the military-backed caretaker government's conditions to participate in December elections.\"",
"the military-backed caretaker government rejects the allegations.",
"The detentions, the military-backed caretaker government said, are part of a planned sweep to rid the country of criminals.",
"\"Our IGP [Inspector General of Police, or chief of police] categorically said this special drive was being conducted to create a congenial atmosphere before the general election,\" said Kamrul Ahsan, a spokesman for Bangladesh Police.",
"\"It is not politically motivated,\" he said.",
"\"The intention is not to harass anybody politically.\"",
"The crackdown began after the Awami League and the BNP said the two main political parties would not cooperate with the military-backed caretaker government to develop a roadmap toward democracy unless the military-backed caretaker government first releases the two main political parties's leaders.",
"The two women who head the two main political parties -- Sheikh Hasina of the Awami League and Khaleda Zia of the BNP -- are in police custody on corruption-related charges.",
"Hasina is charged with bribe-taking.",
"Zia is being held on charges of graft for improperly awarding a multi-million dollar government contract.",
"The current political crisis in the Muslim-majority South Asian country of 150 million can be traced, in large part, to the lingering animosity between the two women, political observers say.",
"the two women's rivalry runs so deep that the women are known in the country as the \"Battling Begums.\"",
"Begum is an honorific given to women of rank in the country.",
"Since the country's independence in 1972, the Awami League or the BNP has ruled Bangladesh for all but eight years.",
"the two women have served as prime minister at one point or another.",
"After its last stint in power ended in 2006, the BNP handed over rule to a caretaker government to conduct elections, as mandated by the country's constitution.",
"But the Awami League refused to recognize the neutrality of a caretaker government.",
"Hasina accused Zia of stocking a caretaker government with the BNP backers.",
"Supporters and party members took to the streets in months of deadly clashes.",
"To stem the tide of violence, a military-backed government took control in January 2007 and imposed an indefinite state of emergency.",
"It also postponed elections until it said it could clean up the country's graft-ridden politics.",
"a caretaker government adopted the Emergency Powers Rules.",
"the Emergency Powers Rules allowed authorities to arrest people without a warrant as long as there was reasonable suspicion that he or she was connected to a crime, Human Rights Watch said.",
"A wave of detentions followed.",
"By some estimates more than 90,000 people were detained before some were released and others charged with crimes.",
"Among those arrested were more than 150 top politicians, including Hasina and Zia -- leading to the current political stalemate.",
"the military-backed caretaker government wants to hold elections in the third week of December, and said the crusade on crime is part of the military-backed caretaker government's plan to ensure trouble-free balloting.",
"The political parties allege the arrests are intended to pave the way for the election of pro-government candidates.",
"The political parties want The political parties's leaders set free before The political parties sit down and talk with the military-backed caretaker government about a roadmap toward a successful election.",
"The political parties also threatened to organize mass movements to secure The political parties's leaders' release.",
"\"It's kind of an impasse,\" said Taleya Rehman, founder and executive director of the Bangladesh-based non-profit Democracy Watch.",
"\"the military-backed caretaker government is conducting political dialogue with small parties.",
"But they are of no significance.",
"the military-backed caretaker government need the two major parties.\"",
"On Monday, the military-backed caretaker government announced the military-backed caretaker government was releasing Hasina from custody on medical grounds so Hasina can go abroad for treatment.",
"A similar release for Zia was also expected.",
"Party members say the military-backed caretaker government's move is a ploy to sideline the two women from the elections by sending the two women out of the country.",
"Hasina has a damaged ear resulting from a bombing attack that targeted Hasina's four years ago.",
"Zia is believed to have arthritis.",
"Meanwhile, the detentions continue -- almost 1,800 a day.",
"In addition to political party members, the crackdown has also swept up several journalists.",
"\"That actually makes the arrests suspicious in some people's minds,\" said Sultana Kamal, executive director of the legal aid group, Ain o Salish Kendro (Law and Adjudication Center).",
"\"If you just arrest any Tom, Dick and Harry saying this person may have arms, then people will legitimately raise questions about the mode of the whole operation.\""

"Even as a youngster, Jack Daniel understood that if people remembered Jack Daniel, people would remember Jack Daniel's whiskey.",
"To that end, Jack Daniel decked Jack Daniel out in a formal knee-length coat, a vest, a tie, and a wide-brim planter's hat, and was never caught out of \"uniform\" again.",
"Jack Daniel also established the Jack Daniel's Silver Cornet Band -- a 10-member outfit solely devoted to promoting Jack Daniel's whiskey across the countryside.",
"With uniforms and instruments from the Sears & Roebuck catalog and a specially designed wagon for traveling, Jack Daniel made sure the Jack Daniel's Silver Cornet Band -- a 10-member outfit solely devoted to promoting his whiskey across the countryside played every saloon opening, Fourth of July celebration, and political rally around.",
"But perhaps Jack Daniel's most brilliant decision concerned how to present Jack Daniel's whiskey.",
"From the beginning, Jack Daniel had been one of the first sellers to stencil Jack Daniel's distillery name on Jack Daniel's whiskey jugs.",
"Next, Jack Daniel upgraded to round, custom-embossed bottles.",
"But when a glass salesman showed Jack Daniel a prototype square bottle in 1895, Jack Daniel realized Jack Daniel'd stumbled upon something unique.",
"The new bottles not only stood out from the crowd, but also had a shape that would prevent The new bottles from rolling around and breaking during transport.",
"In addition, the square look reinforced the idea that Jack Daniel was a square dealer who put honest work and high standards first.",
"Whatever effort Jack Daniel put into Jack Daniel's marketing, Jack Daniel never let quality slip.",
"In 1904, Jack Daniel decided on a whim to enter Jack Daniel's whiskey in the taste competition at the St. Louis World's Fair.",
"It came as little surprise when Jack Daniel won.",
"Lucky No. 7 .",
"Perhaps Jack Daniel's greatest coup was the name Jack Daniel gave Jack Daniel's high-quality product -- Old No. 7.",
"Naturally, nobody seems to know why.",
"The official historian at the Jack Daniel Distillery today says it's the most oft-asked question on factory tours.",
"As you might imagine, many theories have been advanced.",
"Jack Daniel had seven girlfriends.",
"Jack Daniel believed the number seven was lucky.",
"Jack Daniel was honoring a merchant friend who owned seven stores that distributed Jack Daniel's liquor.",
"Jack Daniel misplaced a batch of whiskey for seven years and, upon finding it, labeled it \"Old No. 7.\"",
"None of these stories, however, makes as much sense as the less-than-sexy explanation from Jack Daniel biographer Peter Krass.",
"Simply put, Jack Daniel was originally assigned a district tax assessment number of 7.",
"But when the IRS consolidated districts within Tennessee, the IRS arbitrarily reassigned Jack Daniel the number 16.",
"Jack Daniel didn't want to confuse Jack Daniel's loyal consumers, and Jack Daniel certainly didn't want to bend to the government, so Jack Daniel began labeling Jack Daniel's bottles \"Old No. 7.\"",
"More than 125 years later, this act of defiance still makes Jack Daniel's labels stand out.",
"Jack Daniel .",
"Jack Daniel never married.",
"Some say it's because Jack Daniel was married to Jack Daniel's work; others say it's because Jack Daniel never found a girl who measured up to Jack Daniel's high standards.",
"Or perhaps it's just that Jack Daniel was too busy catering to the greater Lynchburg population -- throwing elaborate Christmas feasts, hosting exquisite costume parties in Jack Daniel's second-story ballroom, and donating money to every church in Moore County.",
"But by all accounts, Jack Daniel was quite a ladies' man.",
"Jack Daniel was a perfect dance partner, a polite conversationalist, and a fantastic gift-giver.",
"Unfortunately, Jack Daniel also gravitated toward girls young enough to be Jack Daniel's daughter (or even granddaughter).",
"Once, Jack Daniel even asked for a woman's hand in marriage, but a woman's father denied Jack Daniel -- partly because Jack Daniel enjoyed keeping Jack Daniel's own legend alive and always hesitated to reveal Jack Daniel's true birth date.",
"When Jack Daniel proposed, a woman's father made it clear that any man unwilling to disclose his age was \"a little too old for such a young girl.\"",
"The early bird gets the gangrene .",
"Hard as it might be to believe, in the end, the great distiller actually died from getting to work too early.",
"As the story goes, one morning in 1906, Jack Daniel arrived at Jack Daniel's office before anybody else.",
"Jack Daniel tried to access the company safe, but had a terrible time remembering the code.",
"After a few frustrating minutes, Jack Daniel kicked the safe as hard as Jack Daniel could.",
"Jack Daniel badly bruised Jack Daniel's left foot and immediately began to walk with a limp.",
"The limp only grew worse with time, and Jack Daniel later discovered the injury had led to blood poisoning.",
"Then came gangrene, then amputation, and then, five years later, death.",
"It's not the happiest ending for the story, or the clearest cut, but it is the best, because it adds to the mystery and mystique of Jack Daniel.",
"As they say, where facts cannot be found, legends fill the empty space and that's perfectly fine for the keepers of the company flame.",
"After all, as Jack Daniel believed, the more memorable Jack Daniel's image, the more memorable Jack Daniel's whiskey.",

"The now-discarded winning lyrics had begun with, \"Viva Espana,\" or \"long-live Spain,\" and critics complained that phrase harkened back to the right-wing dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, who led a military uprising in 1936 against the elected government and won a Civil War, ruling Spain until his death in 1975.",
"\"You have to consider that many Spaniards don't consider Spain's anthem as many Spaniards's own.",

"The president of the Spanish Olympic Committee conceded The president of the Spanish Olympic Committee doesn't know when there will be lyrics for Spain's anthem, and many here say there isn't enough time to get lyrics approved before the Aug. 8 start of the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.",

"The world's wildlife has declined by 27 percent since 1970 because of the human impact on the environment, the World Wildlife Fund said Friday.",
"These two adult frilled-neck lizards are threatened species and are bred in captivity in Australia.",
"The WWF's latest Living Planet Index shows terrestrial, freshwater and marine species all suffered declines in freshwater and marine's populations between 1970 and 2005, with freshwater species experiencing the biggest drop.",
"The WWF's latest Living Planet Index is included in a report called \"2010 and Beyond: Rising to the Biodiversity Challenge,\" which The WWF prepared for an international biodiversity conference in Germany later this month.",
"\"No one can escape the impact of biodiversity loss because reduced global diversity translates quite clearly into fewer new medicines, greater vulnerability to natural disasters, and greater effects from global warming,\" said James Leape, director-general of WWF International.",
"The WWF's latest Living Planet Index measured 4,000 populations of 1,477 vertebrate species, which The WWF says is a good indicator of overall biodiversity trends.",
"Terrestrial species in both temperate and tropical areas fell by an average of 25 percent during the 35-year period, The WWF said.",
"Marine species fell by 28 percent in the same period, with a dramatic decline between 1995 and 2005, The WWF said.",
"\"Many marine ecosystems are changing rapidly under human influence, and one recent study estimates that more than 40 percent of the world's ocean area is strongly affected by human activities while few areas remain untouched,\" the the WWF report said.",
"Freshwater species in both temperate and tropical regions fell by 29 percent between 1970 and 2003.",
"The WWF said that is especially significant because despite covering only about 1 percent of the total land surface of the planet, inland waters are home to more than 40,000 vertebrate species.",
"In tropical regions, freshwater species were especially hard-hit; the index shows freshwater species suffered a 35-percent drop between 1970 and 2000.",
"The WWF said The WWF had insufficient data to chart tropical freshwater species beyond 2000 and temperate freshwater species beyond 2003.",
"The causes of the declines are varied but ultimately stem from human demands on the biosphere, such as consumption of natural resources or the displacement of ecosystems, The WWF said.",
"The dominant threat to marine life is overexploitation -- harvesting or killing animals or plants beyond the species' capacity to replace the species', The WWF said.",
"Overfishing is one example.",
"Overexploitation is also a threat to terrestrial species, according to the report, which cites the hunting of tropical forest mammals.",
"Overharvesting of timber is also a major factor, it said.",
"Invasive species, whether introduced deliberately or not, are another threat, especially in freshwater ecosystems, where they are thought to be the main cause of extinction among endemic species, The WWF said.",
"Pollution and overall climate change are other factors causing a loss of biodiversity, The WWF said.",
"The WWF called on governments attending this month's conference to take urgent action to reduce the rate of loss by 2010.",
"The WWF wants governments to establish protected areas, particularly those areas important for food security, water supply, medicine, and disaster mitigation, and to commit to zero deforestation by 2020."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"On March 30 the Open Skies treaty went into effect, liberalizing air travel between the U.S. and Europe.",
"But how will the ease of restrictions on transatlantic routes affect business travelers?",
"Under Open Skies, European and U.S. airlines will be given unlimited access between Europe and U.S. points.",
"the Open Skies treaty puts an end to the exclusive arrangement granted to British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, United Airlines and American Airlines to fly transatlantic out of London Heathrow.",
"But with the airport currently operating at almost-maximum capacity, new flights will be severely limited.",
"As a result competition is fierce for Heathrow slots, with airlines paying as much as $60 million to get airlines's hands on them.",
"For each flight that is added, another less lucrative service is scrapped.",
"Airlines are giving priority to high-yield business routes to and from Heathrow.",
"While European carriers are now allowed to fly from any point within E.U across the Atlantic, the U.S. domestic market remains closed to European carriers.",
"Operators in Europe hope that a second phase of the Open Skies deal will mean a relaxation of restrictions on European airlines' investment in U.S. carriers and the ability for European airlines to compete in the U.S. domestic market.",
"The issue is pending in U.S. Congress.",
"If the U.S. doesn't deliver, there is a clause in the agreement that states the Open Skies treaty -- phase I included -- can be torn up.",
"Industry experts foresee some fare wars in both economy and business-class.",
"Service options are also likely to improve as competition intensifies.",
"U.S. airlines will vie with BA, the dominant carrier at Heathrow, that currently has flights to 24 U.S. cities.",
"The biggest challenge to the incumbent airlines operating out of Heathrow will come from carriers in the SkyTeam alliance, that includes Air France and KLM, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines News, and Continental Airlines.",
"Before the Open Skies treaty, the SkyTeam alliance offered no transatlantic routes to and from Heathrow.",
"By summer the SkyTeam alliance will offer 10 percent of these flights.",
"SkyTeam carriers will be located for the first time in Terminal 4.",
"Given the size of the market for U.S.-London flights, airlines will continue to offer services from Gatwick, London's second-busiest airport.",
"the Open Skies treaty will intensify competition for ailing U.S. airlines on what has been ailing U.S. airlines's most profitable route.",
"Analysts expect to see consolidation between U.S. airlines as they combine international networks to beat competition.",
"One advantage U.S. airlines can offer is opportunity for connecting flights to other European cities as well as on to Asia and the Mideast.",
"European carriers on the other hand, cannot operate domestic flights within the U.S. New flights and new airlines .",
"Oneworld Alliance .",
"British Airways will shift British Airways's Dallas and Houston services from Gatwick to Heathrow and British Airways's Warsaw operation to Gatwick.",

"In the words of Vice President John Nance Garner, the vice presidency \"isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss.\"",
"Aaron Burr is best known for shooting and killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804.",
"That may be true, but the characters who've held the job are definitely worth a few good pages of trivia.",
"Join mental_floss in toasting seven backup plans that made this country great.",
"1. Chester Arthur:",
"James Garfield's V.P. Chester Arthur took office under the thickest cloud of suspicion.",

"But Chester Arthur's luck didn't last.",
"President Rutherford Hayes eventually stepped in and fired Chester Arthur from the post.",
"Even with the kickback scandal and claims that Chester Arthur'd been born in Canada (which should've disqualified Chester Arthur for the vice presidency), Chester Arthur still managed to get elected on James Garfield's 1880 ticket.",
"After James Garfield passed away 199 days into his presidency, Chester Arthur didn't hesitate to sign the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.",
"Much to the chagrin of Conkling, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act revamped civil service by effectively killing the same patronage system that made Chester Arthur very, very rich.",
"In cleaning up civil service, Chester Arthur also cleaned up Chester Arthur's reputation, and Chester Arthur exited the White House a hero.",
"Henry Wallace:",
"Franklin Roosevelt's second V.P. Henry Wallace was a dedicated devotee of Eastern mysticism.",
"While serving as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture in the 1930s, Chester Arthur allegedly sent Chester Arthur's guru to Mongolia under the pretense of collecting grasses that could withstand drought.",
"In reality, Chester Arthur was diverting funds to help Chester Arthur's guru hunt for evidence that Christ had visited Asia.",
"But it wasn't Chester Arthur's spiritual beliefs that landed Chester Arthur America's No. 2 job.",
"Chester Arthur was a big Franklin Roosevelt fan and supported Franklin Roosevelt's's entire platform, which is why Franklin Roosevelt's handpicked Chester Arthur as Franklin Roosevelt's's third-term running mate in 1940.",
"Chester Arthur wasn't popular with the Democratic Party, but when Franklin Roosevelt's made it clear Franklin Roosevelt's wouldn't run without Chester Arthur, the Democratic Party acquiesced.",

"In 1948, Chester Arthur unsuccessfully ran for president on the Progressive Party ticket, espousing views that sounded shockingly Marxist.",
"Chester Arthur even described corporations as \"midget Hitlers\" attempting to crush the labor class.",
"But nobody can say Chester Arthur didn't know how to own up to Chester Arthur's mistakes.",

"Of course, William R. King's predilection for wearing scarves and wigs only fanned the rumors.",

"4. Richard M. Johnson: Martin Van Buren's V.P.",
"Despite his credentials as a war hero and a Kentucky senator, Vice President Richard M. Johnson was never accepted in Washington.",
"Perhaps that's because Vice President Richard M. Johnson dressed like a farmhand, cursed like a sailor, and made no secret of Vice President Richard M. Johnson's three black mistresses, who were also Vice President Richard M. Johnson's slaves.",
"The first mistress bore Vice President Richard M. Johnson two daughters before",
"The first mistress passed away; the second tried to run off with a Native American chief, but Vice President Richard M. Johnson captured and resold her; and the third was the second one's sister.",
"Vice President Richard M. Johnson attempted to introduce this third mistress into polite society, but the couple wasn't well-received.",
"With the support of Jackson, Vice President Richard M. Johnson landed the vice presidency under Martin Van Buren in 1836.",

"The plan could have worked, but one of Aaron Burr's co-conspirators ratted Aaron Burr out.",
"Aaron Burr was tried in 1807 before the Supreme Court, which found Aaron Burr not guilty, mainly because Aaron Burr hadn't actually committed the treason yet.",
"A free man, Aaron Burr turned Aaron Burr's sights on Florida.",

Johnson, then kissed the Bible and staggered away.",

"May God bless and spare Abraham Lincoln!\"",
"Unfortunately, God didn't.",
"The South surrendered six days before Abraham Lincoln's assassination, leaving Vice President Richard M. Johnson to handle Reconstruction -- a job Vice President Richard M. Johnson bungled so completely that Congress moved to impeach Vice President Richard M. Johnson.",
"Incredibly, Vice President Richard M. Johnson avoided being booted out of office by just one vote.",

"The following March, John Cabell Breckenridge returned to the country with John Cabell Breckenridge's family, but John Cabell Breckenridge's name wasn't officially cleared until 1958, when a Kentucky circuit court judge dismissed John Cabell Breckenridge's indictment.",

"\"Si\", the man replied.",
"My producer, Patricia Pedraza, translated the rest.",
"\"The fear is with both immigration and the police.",
"Now you cannot trust absolutely anybody.\"",
"In Irving, Texas, a Dallas suburb of about 200,000 people, right next to the big airport, an estimated 40 percent of the city is Latino, and anecdotally, we're told there are a lot of undocumented workers here, people who are in the U.S. illegally, but clearly don't view themselves as criminals.",
"\"They take innocent people, they think we're all the same,\" another undocumented worker told me.",
"The fear is a reaction to what's called the Criminal Alien Program.",
"Since September of last year, Irving police started to refer anyone arrested in their community to federal authorities, who check their immigration status.",
"\"It's only for people who have violated Texas laws, and are arrested and brought into the Irving jail,\" said Larry Boyd, Irving's police chief.",
"As a result, referrals for deportations have shot up to 1,600, more than 40 times the number from the year before.",
"Statistics from police show that while some of those referrals were for people who committed serious crimes, the majority were a result of misdemeanors and traffic warrants.",
"Many sources told me that a growing number of Latinos here are afraid to drive.",
"The risk is being caught with a suspended license, going to jail and getting deported.",
"See the effect the program has had on Irving » .",
"But if some in the Latino community are lying low, advocates for immigrants are speaking out -- accusing the city and police of targeting Latinos without cause.",

"\"You have to start somewhere,\" said Sheik Shah, an Irving resident who emigrated to the U.S. from India and is now an American citizen.",
"\"Because right now, we have so many loopholes for people to come in here and work illegally.\"",

"One read: \"Please help deport all illegals.",
