"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"A campaigner for a British grandmother on death row in Texas made a unique plea for Carty's message's life Thursday -- from atop a plinth in London's Trafalgar Square.",
"Brian Capaloff uses Brian Capaloff's slot on the plinth in Trafalgar Square to campaign for clemency for Texas.",
"Texas, recorded Texas's message this week from the prison in Gatesville, where Texas is serving Texas's sentence, as part of an effort to win clemency.",
"Campaigners say Texas's trial was \"catastrophically flawed\" and that Texas's court-appointed lawyer failed to take steps that could have at least spared Texas the death penalty.",
"An appeal is pending in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.",
"\"I'm sorry if I sound like a desperate woman,\" Texas said on the tape.",
"\"I am desperate.",
"The British people may be my last hope.\"",
"A Scottish man who has taken an interest in Texas's case played her seven-minute recording over and over for an hour while standing atop one of Trafalgar Square's large statue bases, or plinths.",
"A Scottish man who has taken an interest in Carty's case held up placards with messages from Texas and stood in front of a life-size cardboard cutout of Texas.",
"Do you think the campaign will have any effect?",
"Send us your comments .",
"\"Please listen and tell everyone you know,\" Texas said in Carty's message's message.",
"\"Please don't let me die here.\"",
"A contest currently under way in London allows members of the public to win an hour atop the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square.",
"Winners can do anything during Winners's hour that Winners like -- perform, demonstrate, speak, or simply be silent.",
"Brian Capaloff, 46, who works for a local government homelessness service in Scotland, won a slot but couldn't think of what Brian Capaloff would do during Brian Capaloff's hour.",
"Brian Capaloff said Brian Capaloff asked Reprieve, a British charity that Brian Capaloff supports, whether Brian Capaloff could do anything for Reprieve, and Reprieve suggested Brian Capaloff focus on Texas's case.",
"\"I thought that was the most important thing of all -- to stop someone who is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, who I believe is innocent, of being executed,\" Capaloff told CNN.",
"It's \"just an unbelievable injustice.\"",
"Brian Capaloff said Brian Capaloff hoped Brian Capaloff's demonstration would lead people to inquire about Carty's case and ask people's members of Parliament to do the same.",
"\"Texas's speech to Trafalgar Square shows that Texas is a terrified woman, and with good reason,\" said Clive Stafford Smith, director of Reprieve.",
"\"Texas plans to kill Texas by lethal injection, which is a painful and lonely death.\"",
"He added: \"Texas must do everything in Texas's power to prevent Texas's death.\"",
"The British Foreign Office has filed two amicus briefs in Texas's case complaining that Britain was not notified of Texas's original arrest, said a The British Foreign Office spokesman, who declined to be named in line with policy.",
"The first was in 2006 with a U.S. district court in Texas and the second was in May of this year with the federal appeals court.",
"The British Foreign Office is also in close touch with Texas and Texas's legal representatives, a Foreign Office spokesman, who declined to be named in line with policy said.",

"Texas was convicted of taking part in the May 2001 murder of Joana Rodriguez, a 25-year-old Texas woman, Reprieve said.",
"Rodriguez and her 4-day-old son were abducted by men demanding drugs and cash; she later suffocated while her son survived.",
"Prosecutors said Texas had hired men demanding drugs and cash to kidnap Rodriguez so Texas could steal her baby because, even though Texas had given birth to children in the past, Texas was no longer able to get pregnant, Reprieve said.",
"Carty, who asserts Texas's innocence, was sentenced to death in February 2002.",
"Reprieve said Texas's court-appointed lawyer was incompetent.",
"Carty's court-appointed lawyer failed to meet Texas until immediately before the trial, failed to spot flaws and inconsistencies in the prosecution's case, failed to interview witnesses and did not look at key mitigating evidence, Reprieve said.",
"\"Carty's court-appointed lawyer told me Carty's court-appointed lawyer was too busy to work on my case,\" Texas said in Texas's recording.",
"Texas was born on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts to Anguillan parents and holds a British passport, Reprieve said.",
"Texas worked as a primary school teacher in St. Kitts, a former British colony, until Texas was 23 and later moved to Texas.",
"\"After Texas's conviction, investigators from Reprieve visited St. Kitts and learned that Texas was still remembered as a passionate teacher who frequently held extra classes for children with special needs.",
"Texas also taught at Sunday school, sang in a national youth choir and led a volunteer social-work group,\" Reprieve said.",
"\"This information would have enabled (Texas's lawyer) to present Texas to the jurors as a dedicated teacher and community leader -- factors that might well have induced the jurors to vote to spare Texas's life.\"",
"Texas worked as a confidential informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency during the 1980s, befriending suspected traffickers to get information and sometimes to make test purchases of drugs, Reprieve said.",
"Texas believes that Texas was framed because of Texas's work with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, Reprieve said.",
"Lawyers for Texas have lodged an appeal with the appeals court court in New Orleans, Louisiana, Reprieve said.",
"If the appeals court court in New Orleans, Louisiana rejects Texas's appeal, an execution date will be set, the charity said.",
"Brian Capaloff said Brian Capaloff had a lump in Brian Capaloff's throat when Brian Capaloff arrived at Trafalgar Square for Brian Capaloff's demonstration.",
"\"This is about someone's life and there's nothing more important than that,\" Brian Capaloff told CNN.",
"\"It is an emotional thing.\"",
"Only three of Trafalgar Square's four plinths have statues on top.",
"The fourth plinth never had a statue and has stood empty for years, with specially commissioned artworks occasionally being featured on top.",
"This year, sculptor Antony Gormley came up with the idea to have people stand atop Trafalgar Square as a sort of living monument.",
"Thousands applied for the chance to occupy Trafalgar Square.",
"The project runs 24 hours a day.",

"(CNN) --",
"The Guatemalan army stole at least 333 children and sold at least 333 children for adoption in other countries during the Central American nation's 36-year civil war, a government report has concluded.",
"Around 45,000 people are believed to have disappeared during Guatemala's civil war, 5,000 of Around 45,000 people children",
"Many of those children ended up in the United States, as well as Sweden, Italy and France, said the report's author and lead investigator, Marco Tulio Alvarez.",
"In some cases, report said, parents were killed so the children could be taken and given to government-operated agencies to be adopted abroad.",
"In other instances, the children were abducted without physical harm to the parents.",
"\"This was a great abuse by the state,\" Alvarez told CNN on Friday.",
"Investigators started examining records in May 2008 for a period that spanned from 1977-89, said Alvarez, the director of the Guatemalan Peace Archive, a commission established by President Alvaro Colom.",
"Of 672 records investigators looked at, Alvarez said, investigators determined that at least 333 children had been stolen.",
"at least 333 children were taken for financial and political reasons, Alvarez said.",
"Alvarez acknowledges that many more children possibly were taken.",
"Investigators zeroed in on the 1977-89 period because peak adoptions occurred during that time frame, particularly in 1986.",
"Investigators will investigate through 1995 and hope to have another report ready by early next year, Alvarez said.",
"A presidential ministry has determined that about 45,000 people disappeared during the nation's civil war, which lasted from 1960 to 1996.",
"About 5,000 of those were children, A presidential ministry said.",
"Another 200,000 people died in the conflict between the leftist guerrillas and right-wing governments.",
"the nation's public ministry and attorney general's office will determine whether anyone is prosecuted over the abductions, Alvarez said.",
"Asked if Alvarez would like to see prosecutions, Alvarez answered, \"I hope so.\"",
"Alvarez said Alvarez has attended several reunions of abducted children -- now adults -- and family members.",
"\"I can't tell you how happy that makes me,\" Alvarez said.",
"Adoption has served as a source of income in the nation for decades.",
"The war just made it easier for abuses at the hands of soldiers to occur.",
"the nation has the world's highest per capita rate of adoption and is one of the leading providers of adoptive children for the United States.",
"Nearly one in 100 babies born in the nation end up with adoptive parents in the United States, according to the U.S. consulate in the nation.",
"Adoptions can cost up to $30,000, providing a large financial incentive in a country where the World Bank says about 75 percent of the people live below the poverty level.",
"Officials fear that often times mothers are paid -- or coerced -- into giving up mothers's children.",
"Some unscrupulous lawyers and notaries, who have greater power in the nation than they do in the United States, have taken advantage of the extreme poverty and limited government oversight over adoptions to enrich themselves.",
"Alvarez said corrupt lawyers and notaries were the driving force behind many of the army abductions of children.",
"The problem is confounded because many Guatemalan parents can't provide for many Guatemalan parents's children.",
"The United Nations' World Food Programme says the nation has the fourth highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the world and the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean.",
"Chronic undernutrition affects about half of the nation's children under the age of 5, the U.N. agency said.",
"Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom Caballeros declared a state of national calamity this week because so many citizens do not have food or proper nutrition.",
"Despite the nation's problems, Alvarez hopes some good will come of the report, which was released Thursday.",
"\"We have to tell the truth about what happened,\" Alvarez said.",
"\"Guatemalan society must know what happened and must never allow it to happen again.\"",
"CNN's Arthur Brice contributed to this report ."

"HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pennsylvania (CNN) --",
"The president of The Valley Swim Club on Friday strongly denied charges of racism after his club canceled the swimming privileges of a nearby day care center whose children are predominantly African-American.",
"John Duesler said John Duesler underestimated the number of swimmers who would come to swim at his club.",
"\"It was never his club's intention to offend anyone,\" said John Duesler.",
"\"This thing has been blown out of proportion.\"",
"John Duesler said John Duesler's club -- which John Duesler called \"very diverse\" -- invited camps in the Philadelphia area to use John Duesler's facility because of the number of pools in the region closed due to budget cuts this summer.",
"John Duesler said John Duesler underestimated the amount of children who would participate, and the club's capacity to take on the groups was not up to the task.",
"\"It was a safety issue,\" John Duesler said.",
"The Creative Steps Day Care children -- who are in kindergarten through seventh grade -- went to his club on June 29 after the center's director, Alethea Wright, had contracted to use his club once a week.",
"During their first visit, some children said some children heard club members asking why African-American children were there.",
"One youngster told a Philadelphia television station a woman there said a woman there feared the children \"might do something\" to a woman there's child.",
"Watch Wright react to comments allegedly aimed at the children » .",
"Days later, the day care center's $1,950 check was returned without explanation, Wright said.",
"Wright was dismissive of John Duesler's comments Friday.",
"\"He knows what happened at the pool that day,\" Wright told CNN in a telephone interview.",
"\"I was embarrassed and humiliated.\"",
"Wright called it an \"unfortunate situation,\" adding, \"I know what happened; the members know what happened and a higher power knows what happened.\"",
"Watch",
"John Duesler say racism is not at play",
"After news reports of the incident, the office of Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) said Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) sent a letter to John Duesler asking John Duesler to reinstate the contract with Creative Steps, saying, \"I think that you would agree that there is no place for racism in America today.\"",
"John Duesler said John Duesler appreciates the senator's concern, but his club's board has yet to make a decision of how the club's board will proceed.",
"\"If his club're going to revise his club's policies here, his club need to make it so for all the camps,\" John Duesler said.",
"\"I just don't think his club're prepared for that.\"",
"Duesler earlier in the week told two Philadelphia television stations the children had changed \"the complexion\" and \"atmosphere\" of his club, a comment that protesters outside the facility Thursday said showed that racism was involved.",
"Bernice Duesler, John Duesler's wife, called the negative response Bernice Duesler, John Duesler's wife's husband has faced since the incident \"unbearable.\"",
"\"John Duesler's not one of the good guys -- John Duesler's one of the great guys,\" Bernice Duesler, John Duesler's wife said, holding back tears.",
"\"John Duesler doesn't deserve this.\"",
"Bernice Duesler, John Duesler's wife added, \"If there really was a racial issue that happened, my husband and I would be the first one[s] picketing.\"",
"Jim Flynn, who said he was one of the club members who made a complaint against the children, told CNN this week it was not racially motivated.",
"\"There were a lot of children in the pool and not enough lifeguards,\" he said.",
"\"As general members we were not told that they were coming.",
"If we knew, we could decide to not come when the pool was crowded or come anyway.",
"We could have had an option.\"",
"He also said invitations to two other day care centers, neither of which contained minority children, had previously been withdrawn.",

"The justices were scheduled to announce Monday whether The justices would take the case of Davis, but no order was released.",
"The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to take up the matter again in September.",
"Last fall, The U.S. Supreme Court granted Davis a stay of execution two hours before he was to be put to death.",

"\"We will continue to call on all authorities, including The U.S. Supreme Court, to finally hear the evidence that has motivated hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to raise hundreds of thousands of people worldwide's voices and demand justice.\"",

"Witnesses claimed Davis, then 19, and two others were harassing a homeless man in a Burger King restaurant parking lot when the off-duty officer arrived to help a homeless man.",

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

"After U.S. Marines began taking fire from insurgents in the town of Khan Neshin, in south Afghanistan near the Helmand River, the militants ran into a multiple-room compound, the U.S. military said.",
"Unsure of whether civilians were inside a multiple-room compound, U.S. Marines had an interpreter talk to the insurgents, said an official who asked not to be named because an official who asked not to be named was not authorized to speak publicly.",

"The released hostages told U.S. Marines that there were no more civilians inside a multiple-room compound, Pelletier said.",

"Then, another group of women came out, covered from head to toe according to custom, Pelletier said, with a couple of children in tow.",
"U.S. Marines attended to a screaming woman while the others walked away.",
"When U.S. Marines went into a multiple-room compound, U.S. Marines discovered that it empty, Pelletier said.",
"That's when U.S. Marines realized the fighters had dressed up as women to escape, Pelletier said.",
"\"Apparently these were tall, rather broad-shouldered women with hairy feet,\" Pelletier said.",
"U.S. Marines's restrained approach differs from previous hits on compounds when airstrikes were readily called in, an official who asked not to be named said.",
"Under a new tactical directive for forces in Afghanistan, some of which was unclassified Monday, forces must protect civilians soldiers and must be sensitive to Afghan cultural norms regarding women.",
"Pelletier said that during the standoff, \"U.S. Marines didn't have any female forces to do any searches, and U.S. Marines weren't going to violate cultural norms by patting down these women.\"",
"The standoff in the town of Khan Neshin was especially significant because it has been a Taliban stronghold for several years, and the U.S. military reported that the Afghan government regained control of the town of Khan Neshin Monday.",
"Coalition forces began talks with local leaders several days ago and have moved about 500 Marines into the town of Khan Neshin, a U.S. military news release said.",

"(CNN) --",
"This is the summer of Auto-Tune.",
"The Gregory Brothers have become a viral hit with The Gregory Brothers's \"Auto-Tune the News\" videos.",
"No matter how hard some people -- notably Jay-Z --have tried to kill the trend of musicians using computers to make their voices sound like whiny robots, Auto-Tune technology continues to ride a cultural high.",
"Now the voice-altering effects are migrating from recording studios to YouTube and mobile phones.",
"An iPhone app called \"I Am T-Pain\" lets people manipulate people's voices to sound like the popular rapper and Auto-Tune advocate.",
"The Gregory Brothers, a sibling band out of Brooklyn, New York, has become a hit on YouTube with a series of videos that Auto-Tune cable newscasts and political speeches.",
"The Gregory Brothers, started The Gregory Brothers's series of videos called \"Auto-Tune the News\" during the 2008 presidential debates and has gained millions of fans in recent months.",
"CNN spoke with Andrew Gregory, a 27-year-old member of the band, about the popularity of Auto-Tune -- the trademarked name for the popular pitch-correction software -- and the role of technology in music and society.",
"The following is an edited transcript of our conversation: .",
"Why do you think your videos have taken off like your videos have?",
"I think with any sort of viral video there's a little bit of luck involved.",
"So The Gregory Brothers're counting The Gregory Brothers's lucky stars that The Gregory Brothers've been lucky enough to have it take off like that.",
"At the same time I think the novelty of seeing people like Katie Couric and Newt Gingrich sing has really captured peoples' attention.",
"How do you make your videos?",
"What actually goes into it?",
"Michael likes to joke that there's a huge Auto-Tune lever that Michael hooks up to Michael's computer and whenever Michael sees video footage Michael just pulls the lever, and anything that strikes Michael's fancy is automatically Auto-Tuned.",
"But there's a lot of technical stuff that goes into it.",
"... The Gregory Brothers scour a lot of footage to see what's going to work and what's not going to work.",
"The Gregory Brothers try to find what people are going to tune well and what people won't tune well.",
"... Really, by the time the video gets made I'd say it's eight or 10 days of work that goes into one of these videos, between the four of The Gregory Brothers.",
"What makes someone a good candidate for Auto-Tuning?",
"An example of a great candidate for Auto-Tuning would be either Katie Couric or Joe Biden.",
"Both Katie Couric and Joe Biden have just continued to astonish us with their unbelievable, almost hidden melodies in their speaking voices.",
"A lot of it has to do with how they project their voice in terms of their soft palate.",
"But it also has to do with how much of an oratorical fashion they speak.",
"Joe Biden, in a lot of Joe Biden's speeches, is delivering them in a preacher sort of fashion that tunes really well.",
"While someone who ended up tuning really poorly -- we thought he would tune really well! -- was Sean Hannity.",
"We thought Sean Hannity'd tune really well just because Sean Hannity is always talking really loud.",
"But it turns out that despite the fact that Sean Hannity was talking really loud, it was a nasal talking and it was a harsh and abrasive loud voice, so it ended up not tuning well at all.",
"Does President Obama make for a good Auto-Tune?",
"You know, what was great from President Obama was the campaign speeches.",
"President Obama's campaign speeches were excellent, because President Obama was sort of using that almost gospel-preacher rhetorical style.",
"Since President Obama's been president, President Obama's been so relaxed and sort of so laid back and cerebral and sort of intellectual.",
"President Obama's not been quite as excellent for Auto-Tuning because there's a lot more of a mumbly tone about President Obama.",
"A lot less of the \"Yes we can!\" and a lot more of the \"Weeeeell, as we see ...\"",
"Has \"Auto-Tune the News\" helped your other musical efforts or do you think it's pulling you away?",
"It's certainly making us focus a lot more on \"Auto-Tune the News.\"",
"As your videos have sort of grown in scope and become more popular, we can't help but continue to work on your videos as our fans clamor for more.",
"Do you ever use Auto-Tune in the other performances, like in your band?",
"The Gregory Brothers've never used Auto-Tune live.",
"The Gregory Brothers're no Ashlee Simpson.",
"But I think The Gregory Brothers've used Auto-Tune a little bit on The Gregory Brothers's record.",
"Right now it's a huge fad to Auto-Tune the crap out of people so that people sound like robots.",
"But on pretty much any record you listen to these days there's some level of Auto-Tune on it, even if it's a very, very small amount.",
"If there's just one small note that's just a little bit flat, why wouldn't you Auto-Tune it to make it sound OK?",
"Do you think it's hurting music at all that people expect a singer's pitch to be perfect?",
"It means that people who can't sing as well are becoming famous singers.",
"But I don't know, that's why I love going to see live music, because that really sorts out the real singers from the not-so-real singers.",
"If you could invent any technology or pick a technology that you would like to see invented, what would it be?",
"Oh, wow.",
"I'd probably go for a teleportation machine myself.",
"... Like the one they used in \"Star Trek,\" hopefully, right?",
"Where you can jump in a teleportation machine and get to your gigs without having to carry all your amps and drive eight hours in your van.",
"I mean, I play music for free.",
"It's carrying all your amps and driving places in your van that I have to charge people for.",
"That'd be the real revolution for the music industry.",
"Do you have the T-Pain iPhone app?",
"Yeah, The Gregory Brothers were beta testers for the T-Pain iPhone app.",
"Do you use the T-Pain iPhone app in day-to-day life?",
"The Gregory Brothers've been joking around and showing the T-Pain iPhone app to friends who didn't have the T-Pain iPhone app yet.",
"But The Gregory Brothers're playing The Gregory Brothers's first concert in a while tonight [September 11].",
"I'm in North Carolina.",
"And The Gregory Brothers're going to try to hook The Gregory Brothers's iPhones up to the sound system and The Gregory Brothers're going to try to T-Pain The Gregory Brothers's voices live.",
"So The Gregory Brothers'll see if it works.",
"Do you have a favorite iPhone app just in general?",
"I'm not much of an app guy, but when I really need to kill some time I go for PapiJump.",
"It's like the simplest, dumbest game possible on the iPhone.",
"Other than that, the New York Times app is nice.",
"What have you learned about the Internet in watching your videos go viral?",
"I think a lot of people are using the Internet for just a sort of quick laugh fix.",
"Whether you're bored at work or looking for something fun to do at home, people sort of live serious enough lives.",
"I think everyone loves to laugh.",
"And if you can get five minutes of the day at work ... to get a couple yucks in, I think you'd rather do that than watch your latest YouTube conspiracy movie or something."

"Overnight luxury cruise liners stacked with saunas, smorgasbords and duty-free shopping sail nightly between Stockholm and Helsinki.",
"Imagine enjoying a Scandinavian feast with a vista of archipelago scenery.",
"Budget travel rarely feels this hedonistic.",
"Boats between Stockholm and Helsinki offer the delights of a luxury cruise ship at an affordable price.",
"Two fine and fiercely competitive lines, Viking and Silja, connect the capitals of Sweden and Finland.",
"Each line offers state-of-the-art ships with luxurious meals, reasonable cabins, plenty of entertainment (discos, saunas, gambling), and enough duty-free goodies to sink a ship.",
"Of the two, Viking has the reputation as the party boat.",
"Silja is considered more elegant (but still has Silja's share of sometimes irritating and noisy passengers).",
"The Pepsi and Coke of the Scandinavian cruise industry vie to outdo each other with bigger and fancier boats.",
"The ships are big -- at 56,000 tons, nearly 200 yards long, and with 2,700 beds,",
"The ships're the largest (and cheapest) luxury hotels in Scandinavia.",
"Which line is best?",
"You could count showers and compare smorgasbords, but both lines go overboard to win the loyalty of the 9 million duty-free-crazy Swedes and Finns who make the trip each year.",
"Viking has an older, less luxurious fleet, but caters better to low-budget travelers, offering discounts to students, seniors and railpass-holders; selling cheap \"ekonomi\" cabins (shower down the hall); and allowing passengers to pay for deck passage only and sleep for free on chairs, sofas and under the stars or stairs.",
"Both Viking and Silja sail nightly from Stockholm and Helsinki.",
"In both directions, the boats leave about 4:30 or 5:30 p.m. and arrive the next morning around 9:30 or 10 a.m.",
"For exact schedules, see www.vikingline.fi or www.silja.com.",
"During the first few hours out of Stockholm, your ship passes through the Stockholm Archipelago.",
"The third hour features the most exotic island scenery -- tiny islets with cute red huts and happy people.",
"Going in this direction, I'd have dinner at the first sitting (shortly after departure) and be on deck for sunset.",
"Fares vary by season, by day of the week and by cabin class.",
"Mid",
"-June to mid-August is most crowded and expensive (with prices the same regardless of day).",
"Fares drop about 25 percent off-season for departures Sunday through Wednesday.",
"In summer, a one-way ticket per person for the cheapest bed that has a private bath (in a below-sea-level, under-the-car-deck cabin) costs about $125.",
"Couples will pay a total of about $375 for the cheapest double room (with bath) that's above the car deck.",
"If that sounds expensive, remember that you're getting overnight lodging, a fun scenic cruise, and substantial transportation to boot.",
"The fares are reasonable because locals sail to shop and drink duty- and tax-free.",
"It's a huge operation -- mostly for locals.",
"The ships are filled with about 45 percent Finns, 45 percent Swedes and 10 percent cruisers from other countries.",
"The average passenger spends as much on booze and duty-free items as for the boat fare.",
"The ships now make a midnight stop in the Aland Islands, a part of Finland that's exempt from European Union membership, to preserve the international nature of the trip and maintain the duty-free status.",
"While ships have cheap, fast cafeterias as well as classy, romantic restaurants, ships are famous for ships's smorgasbord dinners.",
"Board the ship hungry.",
"Dinner is self-serve in two sittings, one at about 6 p.m., the other a couple hours later.",
"If you pay for both the dinner buffet and breakfast buffet when you buy your ticket, you'll save 10 percent.",
"The price includes free beer, wine, soft drinks, and coffee.",
"Make sure to reserve your table, not just your meal; window seats are highly sought after.",
"Smorgasbord translates to something like \"bread and butter table.\"",
"It has evolved over the centuries to the elaborate spread seen today.",
"The key is to take small portions and pace yourself.",
"Begin with the herring dishes, along with boiled potatoes and knackebrod (Swedish crisp bread).",
"Next, sample the other fish dishes (warm and cold) and more potatoes.",
"Move on to salads, egg dishes, and various cold cuts.",

"Iggy Pop invented punk rock.",
"That's how cool Iggy is.",
"Iggy's songs have been covered by the likes of Guns N' Roses, REM, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Sex Pistols.",
"Iggy Pop: The wildest man in rock music.",
"Iggy is the wildest wild man of rock and Iggy's four-decade career has been marked by drug addiction, self mutilation and onstage nudity -- and at 61 years old Iggy is showing no signs of growing old gracefully.",
"Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, Michigan, James Newell Osterberg grew up in a trailer park.",
"When James Newell Osterberg began learning the drums as a teenager James Newell Osterberg's parents gave up his parents's bedroom to house James Newell Osterberg's drum kit.",
"It wasn't long before James Newell Osterberg took James Newell Osterberg's talent out of the bedroom, playing with high-school band The Iguanas, from which James Newell Osterberg later took James Newell Osterberg's stage name.",
"After graduating from high school in 1965, Iggy formed a blues band called the Prime Movers.",
"Following a brief stint at the University of Michigan James Newell Osterberg moved to Chicago, playing drums with local bluesmen, before returning to Michigan with James Newell Osterberg's sights set on fronting a rock band.",
"Watch Iggy show CNN around Miami » .",
"In 1967, James Newell Osterberg recruited guitarist Ron Asheton, his drummer brother Scott Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander and formed The band.",
"It was after seeing the Doors in concert, and inspired by Jim Morrison's confrontational stage persona, that James Newell Osterberg reinvented James Newell Osterberg as Iggy Pop, a drug-fueled, crazed whirling dervish of a front man, who would strut semi-naked around the stage, roll around in broken glass and dive headlong into the audience.",
"The band shortened The band's name to The band and released The band's eponymous debut in 1969.",
"Right from the start there was clearly something different about Iggy.",
"At the height of flower power, when The band's contemporaries were singing about peace and love, Iggy was singing \"No Fun\" and \"I Wanna Be Your Dog.\"",
"See photos of Iggy in action.",
"The album was a brilliant mess of raw, blues-influenced garage rock, but The album sold poorly, as did the 1970 follow up \"Fun House,\" later described by Jack White of the White Stripes as \"the definitive rock album of America.\"",
"Watch Iggy Pop show CNN around Miami .",
"By this time, Iggy had begun the Heroin use that would plague Iggy's career and in 1971, The band split up after being dropped by The band's record label.",
"That same year, Iggy met David Bowie, who took Iggy to England, re-united The Stooges and produced 1973's \"Raw Power.\"",
"With \"Raw Power,\" Iggy and The band created the blueprint for punk rock and made an album that would one day be regarded as a landmark in rock music, an album that Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain listed as Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain's favorite of all time.",
"Nonetheless, it was another commercial failure and in 1974, The band split again.",
"By this time, Heroin had taken over Iggy's life and in 1975 Iggy checked Iggy into a Los Angeles mental institution in an effort to kick the habit.",
"Bowie visited Iggy there and took Iggy along on his 1976 tour, before the pair moved to West Berlin in an effort to get away from the temptation of drugs.",
"It was there that Bowie produced and co-wrote Iggy's 1977 solo albums, \"The Idiot\" and \"Lust for Life.\"",
"The latter included the songs \"The Passenger\" and \"Lust for Life,\" which have since become staples of TV ads and movie soundtracks, spawning countless cover versions.",
"More commercial than The band's records, Iggy's solo albums were met with critical acclaim and better sales, but never breakthrough into the mainstream.",
"Songs that Bowie wrote with Iggy during this period were later included on Bowie albums, with \"China Girl\" becoming a hit single for Bowie.",
"Iggy carried on touring and releasing albums throughout the 80s, without much commercial success, although the single \"Real Wild Child\" was a hit in the U.S. and UK.",
"But by the end of the decade, Iggy was beginning to be recognized as \"the Godfather of Punk,\" with a new generation of bands citing Iggy as an influence.",
"Members of Guns N' Roses and the B52s appeared on Iggy's 1990 album \"Brick by Brick,\" which sold more than 500,000 copies, and Iggy's 2003 album \"Skull Ring\" featured the likes of Green Day, Sum 41 and Peaches.",
"But what really made \"Skull Ring\" special was that it re-united Iggy with Ron and Scott Asheton of The band.",
"After years on the periphery, Iggy was suddenly fashionable, with The band appearing at festivals all over the world.",

"Andrew Shapiro is founder and president of GreenOrder, a strategy and management consulting firm that specializes in energy and the environment and is a subsidiary of LRN.",
"Brad Bate and Ted Grozier, consultants at GreenOrder, also contributed to this article.",
"Andrew Shapiro says society should aim to transform all jobs into \"green jobs.\"",
"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"In a recent CNN commentary entitled \"Green jobs: hope or hype?\" Samuel Sherraden argues that green job creation will be insufficient to bring America out of recession.",
"But Samuel Sherraden narrowly defines green as a \"sector,\" and fails to see its potential as a strategy for the revitalization of the entire economy.",
"When the public debate is focused around the precise number of green jobs created in, say, a solar panel factory, we miss the opportunity as a country to think more broadly about greening the economy -- and building a foundation for real growth and competitiveness.",
"The aspiration to create \"green jobs\" should really be seen as shorthand for two public priorities -- immediate job creation and long-term transformation of the economy for sustainability and prosperity -- and both goals can be addressed simultaneously.",
"However, in judging our progress, a simple tally of jobs in \"green sectors\" is only a partial indicator of the impact and thus can be misleading.",
"A lot depends here on definitions.",
"For example, Samuel Sherraden cites a 2008 report produced by Global Insight on behalf of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which identifies a little more than 750,000 green jobs in U.S. today.",
"A report in the same year, from the American Solar Energy Society, counts more than 9 million green jobs in U.S..",
"This is not to say that one report is better than the other, but to point out that much difference -- in this case, more than 8 million jobs -- depends on how you count.",
"The critical point Samuel Sherraden misses is that it's not just job creation in new green industries that matter, but also new jobs in traditional industries -- or the retooling of old jobs -- to make those industries greener.",
"A great example is the real estate industry.",
"Energy efficiency retrofits of buildings and homes have the potential to yield significant savings in energy costs while creating work for building engineers, electricians, contractors, manufacturers and people in a whole host of other industries that would not typically be considered \"green.\"",
"By comparison, 10 or 15 years ago anyone who used a computer was considered to have a \"tech job,\" but now nearly everyone uses a computer (and a cell phone and a PDA) and yet we don't call all jobs \"tech jobs.\"",
"We talk about how technology has changed every industry and profession.",
"Moreover, even investments in sectors we recognize as green can have other positive economic impacts.",
"Investing in wind power, for example, creates jobs in wind turbine manufacturing plants as well as jobs in the industries that supply the plant with parts, jobs producing the materials that make up these parts, jobs producing the electricity used in the plant, and so on.",
"There is solid evidence that investment in green economic activity will result in more jobs than many other comparable investments because a greater proportion of funds would go toward labor and would remain in U.S..",
"The Center for American Progress and the Political Economy Research Institute examined the impact of comparable investments in the oil and gas industry, tax refunds to stimulate household spending, and six specific energy efficiency and renewable energy strategies.",
"The Center for American Progress and the Political Economy Research Institute concluded that $100 billion of investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency would create approximately 2 million jobs, compared to 1.7 million jobs from stimulating household spending and about half a million jobs from investment in oil and gas.",
"By investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency as strategies for our economy, we will create jobs in U.S., not just green jobs.",
"More importantly, we lay the groundwork for American economic competitiveness and moral leadership in a carbon-constrained world.",
"If we fail to support environmental innovation through investment and public policy, U.S. will find U.S. at a disadvantage relative to other nations.",
"U.S. is at a crossroads.",
"If we see green as an engine of growth, there is an unprecedented opportunity to create jobs and revitalize the economy through smart, wide-ranging investments supported by changes in public policy.",
"In the debate over green job creation, we must not lose sight of the larger objective -- the creation of an economy that is more sustainable, in terms of employment, competitiveness and impact on the natural world.",
"What we need to be asking is: How can we make every industry a green industry and every job a green job?",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Andrew L. Shapiro."

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, administered a powerful drug that authorities believe killed the singer, a source with knowledge of the investigation confirmed to CNN on Monday.",
"Murray was with Jackson on the day that Jackson died.",
"Murray, a Texas-based cardiologist, allegedly gave Jackson the anesthetic propofol -- commonly known by the brand name Diprivan -- in the 24 hours before Jackson died, the source said.",
"The doctor's attorneys in a statement Monday said The doctor's attorneys wouldn't comment on \"rumors, innuendo or unnamed sources.\"",

"Murray was the doctor who was at Jackson's home when Jackson died on June 25.",
"Watch CNN's Ted Rowlands report on drug allegation » .",
"Last week, Texas authorities searched Murray's Houston medical office and storage unit, looking for \"evidence of the offense of manslaughter,\" according to court documents.",

"Chernoff said members of Murray's legal team were at Murray during the search, which Chernoff said \"was conducted by members of the DEA, two robbery-homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers.\"",
"Tammy Kidd, a spokeswoman at Chernoff's office, told CNN the search, which he said \"was conducted by members of the DEA, two robbery-homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers \"was absolutely a surprise to us, because we've had open lines of communication this whole time.\"",
"Police have interviewed Murray twice since Jackson's death.",
"A third interview was scheduled for July 24, but was postponed after the search warrants were executed.",
"It's unknown when the next interview will take place.",

"That result is effectively double what most industry observers had predicted for the debut of the fourth feature in Vin Diesel's car franchise, and it left in the dust a number of notable records: . - Best April opening ever, beating \"Anger Management's\" $42.2 million.",
"- Best Universal Pictures opening ever (three-day), beating \"The Lost World: Jurassic Park's\" $72.1 million",
"- Best F&F franchise opening ever, beating \"2 Fast 2 Furious'\" $50.5 million. - Best opening yet in 2009, easily beating the bows of the more-buzzed-about \"Monsters vs. Aliens\" ($59.3 million) and \"Watchmen\" ($55.2 million). - Best opening ever for stars Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster, as well as for director Justin Lin.",
"Oh, and let's not forget that it was the best opening ever for a car-themed movie!",
"(Beating \"Cars'\" $60.1 million.)",
"This outcome is impressive, indeed, something that has caught Hollywood by surprise and has the potential to really change things up -- like when summer-esque blockbusters are released (rarely does one open so early in the year) and like, you know, what everyone thinks of Vin Diesel.",

"Like the jaw-dropping early-year debuts of \"The Passion of the Christ\" and \"300\" before it, this is a history-making premiere that you may well be hearing about for a long time to come.",
"So, yeah, I almost forgot to mention: \"Fast & Furious\" was the No. 1 movie at the box office this weekend.",
"Coming in strong at No. 2 was \"Monsters vs. Aliens,\" which dropped a respectable 44 percent to earn $33.5 million.",
"In 10 days, the 3-D extravaganza has banked $105.7 million.",
"\"The Haunting in Connecticut\" (No. 3 with $9.6 million), \"Knowing\" (No. 4 with $8.1 million), and \"I Love You, Man\" (No. 5 with $7.9 million) rounded out the top five.",

"India launches India's first unmanned mission to the Moon in what is being seen as the 21st-Century, Asian version of the space race between the United States and the USSR -- but this time the two nations involved are India and China.",
"In September of that same year, a Chinese astronaut took a spacewalk, a Chinese astronaut's country's first.",
"A month later, India sent Chandrayaan-1 -- Chandrayaan means \"moon craft\" in Sanskrit -- on a two-year mission to take high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the lunar surface, especially the permanently-shadowed polar regions.",
"The craft, carrying payloads from the United States, the European Union and Bulgaria, will search for evidence of water or ice and attempt to identify the chemical composition of certain lunar rocks.",
"Nonetheless, India maintains competition does not drive the South Asian nation's space program.",
"Vikram Sarabhai, seen as the father of India's space program, made this case for government funding of the South Asian nation in the 1960s: .",
"\"India do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically-advanced nations in the exploration of the Moon or the planets or manned space-flight,\" Sarabhai said, according to Indian space group's Website.",
"\"But India are convinced that if India are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, India must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society,\" said Sarabhai, in what Indian space group described as a \"vision\" for India's space endeavors.",
"Earlier this year, the Indian government increased the federal budget for space research to around $1 billion from some $700 million, Indian space group spokesman S. Satish told CNN, as scientists propose to send astronauts into space by 2015 on solely Indian missions.",
"Indian space group was also studying the feasibility of sending a manned craft to the Moon by 2020, ISRO spokesman S. Satish said, adding that plans for unmanned Mars missions in the coming years have not been finalized.",
"Indian space group dropped a TV-sized probe on the Moon last November that Indian space group said sent sufficient signals to the mother craft before a crash landing.",
"But the country's space ambitions are not limited to public research endeavors, ISRO spokesman S. Satish said.",
"\"We have just entered the commercial satellite launch market,\" ISRO spokesman S. Satish said, including what Indian space group noted is now the world's largest constellation of remote-sensing satellites.",
"These satellites, according to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center, capture images of the Earth that are used in a range of applications -- agriculture, water resources, urban development, mineral prospecting, environment, forestry, drought and flood forecasting, ocean resources and disaster management.",
"Another major system, or INSAT, is used for communication, television and meteorology.",
"\"India have mastered the space technology in these 40 years.",
"India have already sent an unmanned mission to the Moon and now India look forward to sending a manned one there,\" ISRO spokesman S. Satish said."

"For almost a century, the old dog has traversed landscapes across the United States, with weary, budget-conscious travelers peeking out of the old dog's windows.",
"Greyhound bus services will run from London to cities such as Portsmouth and Southampton.",
"Now, the iconic Greyhound is taking to the road in Britain.",
"Greyhound Lines will run hourly bus services from London to select cities, starting Monday.",
"In contrast to Greyhound Lines's U.S. services, however, the buses are glitzier and more luxurious.",
"\"The UK service will have wireless Internet, spacious leather seats, more leg room and free newspapers,\" said Alex Warner, managing director of Greyhound UK.",
"\"Obviously, Greyhound Lines wanted Greyhound Lines's services to reflect the nature of UK passengers.\"",
"For inaugural Greyhound Lines service in Britain, the company aimed to start with the best the United States has to offer, Warner added.",
"In North America, the same services are available from New York and Washington to select cities such as Boston and Toronto, Canada.",
"\"There are plans to expand that.",
"Americans should watch closely.",
"Greyhound Lines will introduce more of the same services based on how well the same services are received in the UK,\" Warner said.",
"Despite the added benefits, fares will still target the budget-conscious traveler in Britain, according to Warner.",
"The service starts with a few cities -- from London to Portsmouth and Southampton, he said.",
"The approximately 120-kilometer (80-mile) trip will cost £1 ($1.60) if a ticket is bought in advance, Warner said.",
"Prices will go up to £4 or £5, depending on time of purchase.",
"\"Greyhound Lines are planning to keep the prices within that range,\" Warner said.",
"Greyhound Lines is owned by British transport company FirstGroup, which bought Greyhound Lines from Greyhound Lines's U.S. parent in 2007.",
"Greyhound Lines was founded in 1914, and has services in Mexico and Canada, according to Greyhound Lines's Web site.",
"In a nod to Greyhound Lines's cameos in American movies and songs, such as the 1969 film \"Midnight Cowboy\" and Simon and Garfunkel's 1972 hit \"America,\" Greyhound Lines plans to keep at least one tie to Greyhound Lines's U.S. origins.",
"Buses in Britain will be named after classic American songs.",
"The names include \"Sweet Caroline\" and \"Good Golly Miss Molly,\" Warner said.",
"CNN's Faith Karimi contributed to this report."

"Thousands of volunteers join the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" every year.",
"Ali Herbert resigned from Ali Herbert's position in a hospital to volunteer aboard a ship that provides free medical treatment to some of the world's poorest people.",
"Like any of the 450 volunteer crew members currently aboard the Africa Mercy, Ali Herbert can be called on at any time of the day to give blood, as the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" has no facilities for storing blood products.",
"Instead the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" operates a system where there are usually 30 donors for each blood type.",
"Ali Herbert says Ali Herbert recently helped a young woman who needed an amputation.",
"\"This young woman required a below-the-knee amputation, but was very weak so I was called in to give This young woman's blood as our blood groups matched,\" Ali Herbert told CNN.",
"\"It was an amazing experience because two minutes after giving her blood, I saw her blood go straight into This young woman's arm.",
"In the UK you have no idea what happens with your blood,\" Ali Herbert added.",
"The \"Africa Mercy,\" currently docked off the coast of Benin, West Africa, also operates as a floating hospital with medical facilities including six state-of-the-art operating theaters, an ophthalmic unit, two CT scanners and 78 hospital beds onboard.",
"The Mercy Ships charity began in 1978 and since then has been credited with providing medical services valued at $748 million, performing more than 41,000 operations and impacting approximately two million people.",
"Mercy Ships CEO Samuel Smith says The Mercy Ships charity has been able to help so many people through what Mercy Ships CEO Samuel Smith calls a \"unique business model.\"",
"Thousands of volunteers join the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" every year, and Thousands of volunteers not only do it for free but also have to pay for accommodation aboard the vessels; some like Herbert, pay around $600 a month.",
"See more images of volunteers onboard the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" » .",
"\"This allows almost all our resources to go into state-of-the-art medical facilities,\" Mercy Ships CEO Samuel Smith told CNN.",
"It costs about $1.25 million every month to maintain, has three wards and a small intensive care unit operated by top surgeons from around the world.",
"Would you give up your holiday to volunteer on the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\"?",
"Sound Off below .",
"One of them is Dr. Joe Nasser, a Canadian surgeon and one of the short-term volunteers.",
"Nasser is currently on board for three weeks, time Nasser took off instead of going on holiday with Nasser's family.",
"\"It's a wonderful thing to do, a great humanitarian gesture,\" Nasser told CNN.",
"\"There is tremendous need here, as these countries are very poor and have very few resources of any kind.\"",
"Nasser described a recent surgery Nasser performed on a 14-year-old boy with a benign but \"extremely aggressive tumor\" that had \"invaded\" almost the whole of the young man's face, leaving the young man completely disfigured.",
"Following successful surgery to remove the tumor, the young man was given a more \"acceptable appearance,\" Nasser said.",
"The charity behind \"Africa Mercy\" was founded by Texas-based Don Stephens and his wife Deyon.",
"Texas-based Don Stephens and his wife Deyon took out a bank loan in 1978 and purchased a retired luxury ocean liner for $1 million.",
"Texas-based Don Stephens and his wife Deyon's dream was to create a modern, mobile hospital that would provide free surgery and treatment to the world's poorest people.",
"In 1982 the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" sailed to Africa with 350 crew and a new name, the \"Anastasis.\"",
"the massive hospital ship \"Africa Mercy\" was the first of five ships that have served in more than 150 ports in developing nations around the world.",
"Last month, Texas-based Don Stephens and his wife Deyon were presented with the Humanitarian Award from Variety, the international children's charity for their 30-year commitment to treating the world's poor.",
"Don Stephens said the idea came after Don Stephens stayed on a tropical island, and a storm occurred.",
"\"There was a hurricane, and I heard that one of the girls had prayed for a ship to come with everything that was needed to clear up the storm damage,\" Don Stephens told CNN.",
"\"It was like a laser beam going off.",
"I couldn't get the idea out of my mind and I knew it was what I wanted to do.\"",
"In addition to complicated surgeries, The Mercy Ships charity also trains local medical professionals in modern health care techniques.",
"The charity also develops construction and agriculture projects.",
"\"The Mercy Ships charity then hope the countries' health care systems can be better off after The Mercy Ships charity leave for the next country,\" Don Stephens said.",
"Finding that the next country takes a lot of research and coordination with local governments and diplomacy.",
"In 2010 the ship will go to Togo, then South Africa.",
"The Mercy Ships charity is also planning to go to the Democratic Republic of Congo.",
"\"We need approval from the local governments and safety is also important.",
"Fortunately, The Mercy Ships charity has a very good reputation, particularly in Africa,\" explained CEO Samuel Smith.",
"\"People know that we're here to help, regardless of race, religion and political affiliation.\""

"convicted D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad was sentenced to death for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers.",

"Eagles head coach Andy Reid told reporters Eagles head coach Andy Reid knows there are some fans that will not accept Vick.",

"a 62-year-old woman who moved to Paris, France, from the western Africa nation of Cameroon tested positive for HIV in 2004, and researchers led by Jean-Christophe Plantier identified the virus as being closely related to a recently discovered simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).",
"The new gorilla virus \"has many of the biological properties necessary for human infection,\" a report published in the weekly Nature Medicine journal says.",
"\"The human case described here does not seem to be an isolated incident, as before coming to Paris the subject had lived in the semiurban area of Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, and reported no contact with apes or bush meat,\" French researchers said.",
"That would indicate that a 62-year-old woman who moved to Paris, France, from the western Africa nation of Cameroon contracted the virus from another human.",
"The significance of the latest findings is difficult to determine without more information, said Robert C. Gallo, who co-discovered HIV in 1984.",
"\"It's yet to be known,\" Robert C. Gallo, who co-discovered HIV in 1984 said.",
"\"It could be zero.",
"Let's see a more full report on this individual and let's see wider testing.\"",
"Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, calls the latest HIV variant \"an oddity\" but said it's not surprising that it cropped up, because the virus has been circulating in non-human primates for centuries.",
"The three previous HIV variants are labeled M, N and O.",
"The new one has been classified P.",
"The N and O variants, Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said, are extremely rare.",
"\"the virus's not significant unless the virus establishes the virus as a predominant strain,\" Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said.",
"\"We have not seen that with N and O.\"",
"Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases lumps the new P variant with the rare group because the virus has been detected in only one patient.",
"If the virus were widespread, Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said, \"we would already know about the virus.",
"When these things happen, you see a lot of these things around.\"",
"Even if the new variant proves lethal, it's not likely to increase AIDS infections, said Robert C. Gallo, who co-discovered HIV in 1984.",
"There are so many HIV variations, Robert C. Gallo, who co-discovered HIV in 1984 said, that one more is not likely to make a difference.",
"the virus is difficult to detect by conventional tests because the virus is not closely related to the other three HIV variants.",
"\"This demonstrates that HIV evolution is an ongoing process,\" co-researcher David Robertson of the University of Manchester said in a release.",
"\"The virus can jump from species to species, from primate to primate, and that includes us; pathogens have been with us for millions of years and routinely switch host species.\"",
"HIV can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, which attacks the body's immune system, giving rise to lethal infections.",
"Patients diagnosed with HIV can take medications to delay or stop HIV from developing into AIDS.",
"There are 33 million confirmed cases of AIDS worldwide.",
"The unnamed woman has no signs of AIDS and remains untreated, Nature Medicine said.",
"The most likely explanation for the emergence of the virus is gorilla-to-human transmission, though researchers say researchers cannot rule out the possibility that the chimpanzee SIV gave rise to the new strain \"either indirectly by transmission to gorillas and then to humans or directly by transmission to humans and also to gorillas.\"",
"Researchers said Researchers don't know how widespread the virus is among humans.",
"\"The human prevalence of the virus remains to be determined,\" a report published in the weekly Nature Medicine journal says, adding that \"it could be circulating unnoticed in Cameroon or elsewhere.\"",
"Western Central Africa bears close watching, Researchers suggest.",
"\"In conclusion, our findings indicate that gorillas, in addition to chimpanzees, are likely sources of HIV-1,\" a report published in the weekly Nature Medicine journal states.",
"\"The discovery of the virus highlights the continuing need to watch closely for the emergence of new HIV variants, particularly in western central Africa, the origin of all existing HIV-1 groups.\"",
"Co-researcher Robertson noted that the virus may not be restricted to Africa.",
"\"the virus also highlights how human mobility can rapidly transfer a virus from one geographical location to another as has been dramatically evident with the recent emergence of swine flu,\" Co-researcher Robertson said."

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

"ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) --",
"Iason Athanasiadis's ordeal began at Tehran airport, shortly after Iason Athanasiadis checked in for Iason Athanasiadis's flight to leave Tehran.",
"Iason Athanasiadis said Iason Athanasiadis endured hours of questioning over several weeks in sound-proofed rooms by interrogators Iason Athanasiadis could not see.",
"\"I was heading to the gate,\" Iason Athanasiadis said.",
"\"This guy materialized on my right.",
"This guy said 'are you Iason Fowden?' [Athanasiadis' passport name].",
"I said 'yeah that's me.'",
"This guy said 'please step to the side ... you're not going to be flying tonight.'\"",
"It was an ominous introduction to Iran's security apparatus.",
"Iason Athanasiadis spent the next 21 harrowing days in Iranian prisons, accused of espionage, subjected to interrogations and, on several occasions, beatings.",
"The journalist, a freelance writer and gifted photographer who had been on assignment for the Washington Times newspaper at the time of Iason Athanasiadis's arrest, spoke to CNN by phone from Iason Athanasiadis's parents' home in Athens Thursday, several days after an extraordinary international lobbying effort helped secure Iason Athanasiadis's release.",
"Iason Athanasiadis has extensive experience reporting in Iran.",
"Iason Athanasiadis also did graduate level academic work in Iran in 2004, as part of a program sponsored in part by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.",
"Iason Athanasiadis realized Iason Athanasiadis was in serious danger at Tehran airport on June 19, when a half dozen plain-clothed security officers arrived and began leading Iason Athanasiadis out of the building.",
"Iason Athanasiadis resisted, and began yelling to crowds of nearby passengers that Iason Athanasiadis was a journalist.",
"\"I got kind of pulled kicking and screaming and getting punched behind an escalator,\" Iason Athanasiadis recounted.",
"While being dragged outside to an unmarked car, Iason Athanasiadis said Iason Athanasiadis managed to get the attention of a Western-looking woman waiting in Tehran airport.",
"To this day, Iason Athanasiadis says Iason Athanasiadis does not know the woman's name.",
"But Iason Athanasiadis believes the woman was instrumental in helping spread the word of Iason Athanasiadis's detention.",
"\"the woman was the best thing that happened to Iason Athanasiadis that day,\" Iason Athanasiadis said.",
"\"I just said 'I'm a Greek reporter for the Washington Times.",
"Please contact the Greek Embassy.'",
"And the woman ran after Iason Athanasiadis with a note pad and pen and asked me to spell my name.\"",
"International human rights organizations estimate thousands of Iranians have gone missing, since Iran launched Iran's crackdown on opposition activists and journalists following the disputed June 12 presidential elections.",
"Eyewitnesses in Tehran say many families are still struggling to determine the whereabouts and official status of many families's detained relatives.",
"But in Iason Athanasiadis's case, the Greek Foreign Ministry announced it was working for Iason Athanasiadis's release just days after Iason Athanasiadis's arrest.",
"That night, Iason Athanasiadis says security officers forced Iason Athanasiadis to ride into Tehran from the airport, with Iason Athanasiadis's head buried in Iason Athanasiadis's lap.",
"Later, when Iason Athanasiadis tried to make a phone call from a police station in Tehran, Iason Athanasiadis said security forces tackled Iason Athanasiadis, threw Iason Athanasiadis to the ground, beat Iason Athanasiadis with a club and pepper-sprayed Iason Athanasiadis.",
"Eventually, they transferred Iason Athanasiadis to Tehran's notorious Evin prison, where Iason Athanasiadis witnessed new Iranian prisoners being delivered by the busload to the prison gates.",
"That is where the interrogation began.",
"Dressed in a prison-issue uniform, Iason Athanasiadis endured hours of questioning over the next several weeks in sound-proofed rooms where Iason Athanasiadis was never allowed to see Iason Athanasiadis's interrogator.",
"\"I just sat in one of these school desk situations, a chair with a desk extension,\" Iason Athanasiadis explained.",
"\"I was told to face the wall ... and they sat behind Iason Athanasiadis and they crooned into my ear.\"",
"On the second day of Iason Athanasiadis's incarceration, a prosecuting judge told Athanasiadis, a fluent Farsi speaker, that Iason Athanasiadis was facing charges of espionage.",
"Since incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of the June 12 election, opposition candidates and their supporters have accused Iran of falsifying election results.",
"In response, Iran has accused Western governments, particularly Britain, of organizing large protests in the streets of Tehran and other cities.",
"\"The lesson I take from this is that the Iranians,\" Iason Athanasiadis said, \"have decided to start arresting foreigners.\"",
"Last May, an Iranian-American freelance journalist named Roxana Saberi, was released after being detained for four months on charges of espionage.",
"This week, French President Nicolas Sarkozy demanded the release of 23-year old Clotilde Reiss, a French academic reportedly arrested last week on charges of spying.",
"Meanwhile Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian who freelanced for Newsweek, is another prominent intellectual now sitting in an Iranian prison.",
"According to the New York-based organization Committee to Protest Journalists, Iran is now the \"world's top jailer of journalists,\" with at least 30 reporters and bloggers in prison.",
"Unfortunately, few of these prisoners enjoyed the international support that was rallied on behalf of Iason Athanasiadis, said Michalis Kosmides, a Greek journalist and vice president of the Foreign Press Association in London.",
"After learning of his colleague's arrest, Michalis Kosmides, a Greek journalist and vice president of the Foreign Press Association in London launched a Facebook page titled \"Free Iason.\"",
"Meanwhile, the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Istanbul, also intervened.",
"the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Istanbul sent a high-ranking cleric and a letter to the Iranian Consulate in Istanbul, to plead for Iason Athanasiadis's release \"on humanitarian grounds,\" said Father John Chryssavgis, an adviser to the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Istanbul.",
"\"Iran has separate nodes of power,\" Michalis Kosmides, a Greek journalist and vice president of the Foreign Press Association in London said.",
"\"the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Istanbul's statement appealed to one node with religious sentiments.\"",
"Iason Athanasiadis says the lowest point came 19 days after Iason Athanasiadis's arrest, when it appeared Iason Athanasiadis would be released.",
"\"They took me to the airport, the Greek ambassador met me with a ticket.",
"We started heading towards the gates, then we suddenly veered off to the escalator,\" the 30-year old journalist said.",
"\"I promptly got re-arrested and spent this very strange night in a windowless room listening to bags thumping through the chutes and listening to departure announcements ...",
"it was the most scary time.\"",
"It took another 24 hours of intense diplomacy led by Greek ambassador Nikolaos Garilidis before Iason Athanasiadis finally flew safely out of Tehran.",
"Throughout Iason Athanasiadis's ordeal and the countless accusations of spying, Iason Athanasiadis said Iason Athanasiadis realized one thing about Iason Athanasiadis's captors: his captors had never bothered to read any of the articles Iason Athanasiadis has published over the years about Iran.",
"\"I was shocked that his captors would arrest someone who had lived in Iran and had such a record of trying to introduce Iranian society to an outside audience.\""

"Turning to immigration, Obama said Obama is committed to \"fix the broken immigration system.\"",
"all three countries depend on all three countries's borders being safe and secure, Obama said, adding that Obama supports \"orderly and legal\" migration, while respecting the American tradition of welcoming immigrants.",
"Obama also responded to critics who say that the United States has not been forceful enough in demanding the return of ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya to power, calling them hypocritical.",
"\"The same critics who say that the United States has not intervened enough in Honduras, are the same people who say that the United States're always intervening and that Yankees need to get out of Latin America.",

"\"the United States have been very clear in the United States's belief that ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya was removed from office illegally, that it was a coup, and that ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya should return,\" Obama said.",
"The United Nations and Organization of American States, including the United States, have called for ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya's return, but more than one month later, the interim government of Roberto Micheletti remains firm and talks between the two sides have so far been unsuccessful.",

"\"That's precisely what we want to see from the United States,\" Harper said.",

"Obama told journalists that Harper has raised the issue every time they have met.",
"Harper has complained the \"Buy American\" provision is protectionist and could harm trade relations between the closely linked North American economies.",
"\"This in no way this has endangered the billions of dollars of trade taking place between our two countries,\" Obama said, standing beside Harper and Calderon at a final news conference.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Treating flu-stricken children with anti-viral medication including Tamiflu and Relenza could do more harm than good, a new report has warned.",
"Researchers say not enough study has been done into the long-term effects of anti-virals on children.",
"Researchers from the University of Oxford found that while the anti-virals reduced the duration of illness by up to one day and a half, they had \"little or no effect\" on the likelihood of the children developing complications.",
"Researchers from the University of Oxford conceded that Researchers from the University of Oxford didn't know the extent to which Researchers from the University of Oxford's report applied to the current swine flu pandemic, but said, \"based on current evidence, the effects of anti-virals on reducing the course of illness or preventing complications might be limited.\"",
"In compiling their report, published in the British Medical Journal, Researchers from the University of Oxford searched the world for trials of Tamiflu and Relenza on children under 12.",
"Researchers from the University of Oxford found seven in total; four relating to flu treatment, and three to prevention.",
"Researchers from the University of Oxford say none offered a big enough study to determine whether anti-virals have any effect on the chances of children developing serious flu-related complications.",
"\"Researchers from the University of Oxford've got very little data to go on.",
"These drugs have been used on tens of thousands, in fact millions of children worldwide, and Researchers from the University of Oxford've found only four trials of treatments involving less than two thousand children,\" said the report's author, Dr Matthew Thompson, a senior clinical scientist at the Department of Primary Health Care, the University of Oxford.",
"\"Researchers from the University of Oxford didn't find any trials of children under one.",
"And none of the trials was big enough to show if there's any effect on serious complications like pneumonia or being hospitalized,\" he said.",
"the report found that while anti-virals reduced the duration of flu in children, they had little or no impact on the likelihood of the child developing ear infections or any other condition that may require antibiotics.",
"A review of one study into the effect of anti-virals on asthmatic children, who are considered to have a higher risk of developing complications from the flu virus, found that they did not reduce the risk of the asthma attacks.",
"the report said that one in 20 children who take Tamiflu suffer nausea and vomiting, as indicated in warnings from the drug's manufacturer.",
"\"That obviously can be a particular problem in young children and infants where getting dehydrated is a complication of influenza,\" Thompson said.",
"The three studies that focused on the use of anti-virals to prevent influenza taking hold, showed that their potential to stop the spread of flu was \"fairly small.\"",
"\"We'd need to treat 13 children with the preventive course of one of these drugs to prevent one of 13 children from getting flu,\" Thompson said.",
"the report's authors suggested governments were too quick to recommend anti-virals as the first defense against the spread of swine flu.",
"In the United Kingdom, people who suspect people who suspect they have the virus have the virus are urged to phone a government helpline.",
"If enough symptoms match the operator's list, people who suspect they have the virus're given an online voucher so a \"flu friend\" can collect a course of Tamiflu.",
"\"Researchers from the University of Oxford're not criticizing the current Department of Health policy, but Researchers from the University of Oxford hope they'll inform perhaps a slight shift in policy in terms of use of these drugs,\" Thompson told CNN.",
"Department of Health said the report was right to suggest bed rest and over the counter remedies for people with mild cases of flu, but added that it was potentially dangerous to deter people with severe cases of flu from taking Tamiflu, including children.",
"In a statement, a spokesman said: \"Whilst there is doubt about how swine flu affects children, we believe a safety-first approach of offering anti-virals to everyone remains a sensible and responsible way forward.",
"However, we will keep this policy under review as we learn more about the virus and its effects.\"",
"The British Medical Association (BMA) also adopted a cautious stance.",
"The chairman of the BMA's general practitioner's committee, Dr Laurence Buckman, said doctors always have to balance the risk of major complications from swine flu with the potential side-effects of anti-virals.",
"\"While we know they are safe, we do know that vomiting and diarrhea can occur in some children and adults who take them,\" he said, adding \"The more we learn about these drugs the more we will know how to treat patients with the most up-to-date clinical evidence.\""

"KAMPALA, Uganda (CNN) --",
"At least four people have been killed in two days of rioting in Uganda's capital after radio broadcasts encouraged listeners to violently take to the streets against the government, officials said Friday.",
"Residents of the Kasubi suburb, west of Kampala, try to flee from violence as a soldier takes photos.",
"The rioters heard \"sectarian\" broadcasts on Thursday that \"systematically incited the listeners to cause chaos and destruction wherever they could,\" said a statement issued by Minister of Information and National Guidance Kabakumba Masiko.",
"a statement issued by Minister of Information and National Guidance Kabakumba Masiko described those who took part in the rioting in Kampala and its suburbs as \"marauding thugs.\"",
"The broadcasts aired in the Buganda Kingdom, said police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba.",
"Ethnic and political tension between the kingdom and the government had been escalating over the past few weeks.",
"Police and army officers were injured and police-owned property also was damaged along with other vehicles and shops, said the nation's police chief, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura.",
"In Natete-Ndeba, a southwest suburb, a police station was looted of a police station's ammunition and prisoners set free before rioters burned the prison, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said.",
"A curfew has been declared in the suburb, and in Kampala the army is providing support to police, said Kayihura.",
"A doctor at a Kampala hospital said more than 50 people had sought care there, most with broken bones, but others had cuts and gunshot wounds.",
"About 60 people were arrested in Kampala, but arrest totals in the surrounding areas were not available, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said.",
"Four radio stations were ordered shut down, Masiko said.",
"Many of the rioters were Baganda between the ages of 18 and 35, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said.",
"Baganda are Uganda's dominant ethnic group, making up about 16.9 percent of the population, according to The CIA World Factbook.",
"The kingdom is one of the oldest monarchies in Africa.",
"The people live mostly in central Uganda and along the shoreline of Lake Victoria.",
"Tension between the Buganda Kingdom, headed by King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, and Uganda President Yoweri Museveni had been increasing recently over land laws, sovereignty and political power, issues over which the two sides have been in talks for years.",
"the government sees Mutebi as a traditional leader only and does not allow Mutebi to participate in politics.",
"Further estranging the two is a breakaway faction of the Buganda Kingdom, the Banyala.",
"Some interpreted police forces' breaking up a group of Baganda amid preparations for festivities as support for the Banyala, especially after a the Banyala demonstration opposing the Buganda Kingdom prompted no police action.",
"It is unclear why the police broke up a group of Baganda earlier in the week.",
"Riots broke out after the incident, and again when radio announcers pushed Baganda to take to the streets again.",
"Uganda President Yoweri Museveni said in a broadcast statement that Uganda President Yoweri Museveni tried to contact Mutebi to discuss the issue as \"mature people\" but Uganda President Yoweri Museveni could not reach him on the phone.",
"Uganda President Yoweri Museveni also said that Uganda President Yoweri Museveni had intelligence reports showing that the Buganda Kingdom has received foreign funding to carry out a hate campaign against the government.",
"Asians, mostly of Indian origin, suffered severe losses when Asians, mostly of Indian origin's business were attacked and looted, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said.",
"Although officials said the broadcasts encouraged listeners to put into action their contempt for the government, during such outbreaks of violence Asians are often targeted.",
"Some view Asians as being most protected by the government because of special holidays or tax benefits Asians may get.",
"In addition, reports of Asians mistreating natives have fueled tension between the groups.",
"None of the four people killed were Asian or of Asian descent, police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said, but in the northern suburb of Kawembi about 30 Asians had fled to a police station for protection on Thursday and remained there Friday.",
"Samson Ntale contributed to this report for CNN."

"Beirut journalist Habib Battah is a blogger, freelance journalist and documentary filmmaker based in New York and Beirut.",
"BEIRUT, Lebanon --",
"When I heard Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg was coming to Lebanon, I jumped at the opportunity to show the world a different side of the country I had grown up in.",
"So I hit the phones, tracked down the promoter and before I knew it, I was driving to the airport to film Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's arrival.",
"Beirut blogger Beirut journalist Habib Battah with U.S. rap legend Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg.",
"When I first met Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg (as Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's known by Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's very courteous suit-wearing bodyguards), Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg was seated in the VIP lounge of Beirut International Airport, surrounded by entourage while awaiting passport control.",
"Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg had never been to the Middle East before, and I was wondering why Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg decided to perform in Lebanon.",
"Outfitted in a hooded sweater, despite the sweltering heat of the Lebanon summer, Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg leaned forward and told me in Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's low voice: \"There are a lot of places I could have started but I chose to start here because I felt they've been supporting me you know -- they've been down with me for long time.\"",
"By \"starting\" in Lebanon, Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg meant that Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg intended to embark on a Middle East tour in the coming months.",
"\"Me and my man Roger had a nice conversation about putting together a Snoop Dogg Middle East tour ... so we gonna try to get that together over the next couple of months,\" Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg, flanked by my man Roger's forever-smiling local organizer, Lebanese entertainment mogul, Roger Kalaouz, told a room full of eager photographers and entertainment journalists.",
"But the Lebanese paparazzi still wondered, why Lebanon?",
"\"This is my first chance to party with the people of Lebanon,\" Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg said.",
"\"They were always partying to my music but now they get a chance to actually party with Snoop Dogg.",
"\"This is the party capital of the world,\" Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg added and the room filled with applause.",
"Hours later, Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg drove the locals wild once again during the show's performance in front of thousands of adoring young fans by holding up a Lebanese flag on stage and then performing an impromptu sing-along with the chorus line \"Beirut, Lebanon.\"",
"When the show ended just before one a.m., Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg did not leave Lebanon without living up to Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's promise to party hard.",
"Acting on a tip from a source close to Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's circle, I managed to follow Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's entourage to the afterparty, at a massive and highly exclusive rooftop club overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Lebanese mountains.",
"I entered a massive and highly exclusive rooftop club overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Lebanese mountains through the back entrance with members of Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's band that I had met at the airport.",
"When we got inside, the champagne was flowing and a massive and highly exclusive rooftop club overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Lebanese mountains was rocking with hundreds of people.",
"A mixture of house and trance music reverberated across all surfaces as fireworks lit up the evening sky.",
"Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's band and crew were ecstatic, sporting looks of awe when Snoop's band and crew reached Snoop's band and crew's VIP tables in the balcony section which boasts outdoor air conditioning.",
"And even though the European electric beat was quite a stretch from the hip hop he produces, Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg seemed to be getting down -- waving Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's hands in the air.",
"But it wasn't long before the Dogg switched things up grabbed the microphone: \"You are now rocking with the big Snoopie D.O. double jizzle for shizzle dizzle\" Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg said, sending screams through the glamorous crowd.",
"Then Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg turned toward the DJ podium: \"Hey! Yo! DJ!",
"Why don't you play some of that Snoop Dogg sh*t?",
"Once again the glamorous crowd was electrified, as Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg began rapping to Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's track \"Drop it Like It's Hot,\" (Part of the that performance is available on Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's Web site.)",
"Later Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg played other local favorites such as \"Gin and Juice\" and then rocked to a new track \"That's the Homie\" from Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's upcoming album \"Malice in Wonderland\" while being filmed by two cameraman and a flash light.",
"The Lebanon show producer, my man Roger later explained that Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg was actually filming part of the music video for the new track that night.",
"And when Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg left the club at 3 a.m., the party continued till seven in the morning, according to my man Roger, in true Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg fashion, back at the hotel.",
"my man Roger says my man Roger's now preparing for Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg's Middle East tour beginning in December, with a focus on cities in the oil-rich Arabian Gulf states, such as the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and maybe even Saudi Arabia.",
"Though it remains unclear how much my man Roger actually paid Legendary U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg to perform in Lebanon, my man Roger emphasized that the bidding process was intense with much competition from promoters in other Arab countries.",

"Editor's note: Jay S. Winuk, co-founder of MyGoodDeed, is the brother of Glenn J. Winuk, an attorney and volunteer firefighter and EMT who died in the line of duty when the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed on September 11, 2001.",
"This week Glenn was posthumously honored with the 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor from the United States of America.",
"Jay Winuk says September 11 is best observed as a day of service to others.",
"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"The upcoming eighth anniversary of the attacks of September 11 raises a compelling question for millions of Americans: How should we best observe this uniquely tragic day in our nation's history?",
"Surely, it should not be a holiday.",
"This is no time for days off from work and three-day weekends to enjoy barbeques and white sales.",
"No, September 11 is a day for reflection, and September 11's historical and emotional significance should not lessen with time or be diminished in any way.",
"It is a day to focus on the substantial lessons learned.",
"I'm a 9/11 family member.",
"My brave brother, Glenn J. Winuk, was a partner at a large law firm, Holland & Knight, located two blocks from the World Trade Center.",
"For almost 20 years Glenn was also a volunteer firefighter and an emergency medical technician.",
"When the Towers were hit, Glenn borrowed rescue equipment and ran from safety toward the South Tower to participate in the rescue effort.",
"Glenn died when the South Tower collapsed.",
"Soon after the attacks, I co-founded, with my friend David Paine and other 9/11 family members and friends, a grassroots initiative called MyGoodDeed.",
"Our goal?",
"To establish the anniversary of September 11, 2001 as an annually recognized national day of service.",
"Our widely shared view was that there would be no better way to pay tribute to those thousands lost and those millions who rose in spontaneous, compassionate and effective service to help rebuild our spirit and our nation in the aftermath of the attacks.",
"Supported by all the leading 9/11 family, survivor and volunteer organizations, the initiative has since attracted the attention and participation of millions of people around the world, from all 50 states and more than 170 nations and territories.",
"People choose whatever form of kindness and service People'd like to perform each 9/11.",
"And with acts large and small, People are making a real difference in the lives of people and communities in need.",
"Some make donations -- clothing, books, eyeglasses, money, blood.",
"Some help repair schools and parks and beaches.",
"Some send care packages to our troops overseas, or work in soup kitchens.",
"Some read to the blind, or visit the elderly.",
"This Sunday, retired New York Giants great George Martin is leading a fundraising walk from New York to New Jersey to raise money for the health care of thousands of rescue and recovery workers of Ground Zero who are ailing as a result of their service after 9/11.",
"There is no limit to what people can do to participate.",
"Of note is that just like those who died in the horror of that September morning, those who engage in service on 9/11 represent a wide range of political preferences, ages, races, religions, economic status and geographic locations.",
"Unlike as suggested recently by some conservative journalists and bloggers, this 9/11 service phenomenon is not new and is certainly not about some kind of liberal agenda intended to diminish the meaning of September 11 or redefine it for political gain.",
"Indeed, the notion of engaging in service to mark each 9/11 began during the Bush administration, and has been widely supported by both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill.",
"In fact, in 2004 the U.S. Congress unanimously passed House Congressional Resolution 473, saying the anniversary of September 11 should be a national day of service and compassion.",
"In April of this year, President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, substantially bi-partisan legislation that included a provision formally establishing September 11 as a \"National Day of Service and Remembrance.\"",
"The 9/11 community largely applauded this major step forward.",
"And as I watched President Obama sign the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, substantially bi-partisan legislation that included a provision formally establishing September 11 as a \"National Day of Service and Remembrance, along with members of the ServiceNation coalition and surrounded by a diverse group of political leaders, educators, students, service volunteers and others, I experienced both chills and a feeling of great warmth as I thought about Glenn.",
"Service as a way to honor the victims, workers and volunteers of September 11 ensures that future generations will learn not only about the attacks but about how good people around the world responded when our nation was severely wounded.",
"Further, it serves as a productive and meaningful way forward out of the ashes of September 11 as our national challenges are now as great as ever.",
"Some people say, \"Enough about 9/11 already.",
"Let's move on.\"",
"Surely, I understand that.",
"Even while remembering, we must move ahead.",
"And that's really the point about this observance.",
"Let's pay tribute to all those who were injured or who perished, like Glenn, and to all those who rose in service to save and protect our nation, by looking forward and by improving the lot of those people and communities in need.",
"This moment in history was not just about the attacks.",
"This moment in history was also about compassion.",
"And that is the lesson of the events of 9/11, and for me is the essence of this National Day of Service and Remembrance.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Jay S. Winuk."

"Michael Cera and Black go in search of meaning -- and some food -- in \"Year One.\"",
"Quite the opposite, in fact.",
"It's a stretch to envisage Keaton picking up bear poop, as Black does here, giving it an appraising sniff, then a quick lick.",
"And I can't imagine Black peeing down Black's own nostrils, as Michael Cera does (Black's chained upside down at the time).",
"Not to say this monkey business isn't funny; these are the highlights of a relentlessly low-brow lark, notwithstanding several sophomoric speeches in a panicky existentialist vein.",
"Black is Zed, a sorry excuse for a hunter in a tribe that has yet to discover the wheel.",
"Black's buddy Oh (Cera) is even further down the totem pole, a mere gatherer.",

"It's no fun being a sidekick all on your lonesome.",
"Co",
"-written and directed by comedy veteran Harold Ramis (\"Ghostbusters,\" \"Groundhog Day\"), \"Year One\" is little more than a series of juvenile skits dressed up in toga party glad rags.",
"It rambles off into Old Testament territory when the boys stumble across Cain (David Cross) killing his brother Abel (Paul Rudd), then arrive in the desert in the nick of time to save Isaac's neck (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) from Isaac's zealous father's knife -- though Isaac's foreskin is another story.",
"Sorely lacking the anarchic edge that Monty Python brought to \"The Life of Brian\" and the sheer chutzpah of Mel Brooks' \"History of the World: Part One,\" \"Year One\" is more akin to one of those old Bob Hope-Bing Crosby jaunts -- two guys bicker and banter in exotic climes, hopping from scrape to scrape without ever reaching the bottom of the barrel.",
"Inevitably, Zed and Oh find themselves on the Road to Sodom, where Oliver Platt's plummy High Priest orchestrates orgies in the afternoon then presides over human sacrifices in the evening.",
"It is in Sodom that Michael Cera will prove Michael Cera's manhood.",
"Black's manic over-reacher and Cera's shy mumbler complement each other well enough in theory, but at 39, Black is almost old enough to be the 21-year-old Cera's father.",
"It's a big age gap for a comedy duo, and they never quite mesh or convince as bosom buddies, even if they're fairly amusing separately.",
"Among the supporting cast, only Hank Azaria's fundamentalist Abraham really seizes on the possibilities; only Hank Azaria's fundamentalist Abraham and Oliver Platt's deliver the goods.",
"Too many others, on the other hand, just seem to have dropped by to hang out for a day or two on set.",
"Typically, neither Juno Temple nor June Diane Raphael gets any breathing room as the heroes' designated distressed damsels; Ramis ogles female flesh as enthusiastically as he milks homophobia for cheap laughs.",
"Bearing the tell-tale scars of slash-and-burn post-market testing editing -- several early scenes simply hit a brick wall -- \"Year One\" isn't an out-and-out disaster.",
"It's just another feeble comedy that never finds its rhythm or builds up a head of steam.",

"Michael Ian Black, left, and Michael Showalter have \"Issues\" in their new Comedy Central show.",
"You can hear it in the comedian's deadpan delivery, which makes some of Michael Ian Black's serious musings sound like jokes -- and some of Michael Ian Black's jokes sound like serious philosophizing.",
"You can see it reflected in Michael Ian Black's VH1 \"I Love the ...\" guest spots, in which Michael Ian Black acts as if the most ridiculous pop cultural events are worthy of solemn commentary.",
"The absurdity is also obvious in Michael Ian Black's new Comedy Central show, \"Michael and Michael Have Issues,\" in which Michael Ian Black and pal Michael Showalter -- the two go back to the early-'90s troupe The State -- play exaggerated versions of Showalter doing such things as competing for the attention of an intern and torturing a reporter as Showalter make a TV show.",
"\"Michael and Michael,\" which airs Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central, premiered last week for a multiweek run.",

"The following is an edited version of the interview.",
"CNN:",
"How did Comedy Central come about?",
"Michael Ian Black:",
"The last show [Michael Showalter and I] did together was called \"Stella,\" which was also on Comedy Central.",
"After that, I talked to Comedy Central about doing a different show, and Comedy Central said sure.",
"I brought on Michael to help me make it.",
"you guys made that pilot, that pilot didn't go, but when that pilot was done, Comedy Central said, \"Comedy Central'd still like you guys to do something.\"",
"So you guys started pitching around ideas, and this is the one that stuck.",
"CNN:",
"Does Comedy Central keep a hands-off attitude with you guys?",
"Black:",
"Yes and no.",
"Comedy Central definitely trust you guys to a certain extent.",
"you guys've had a long relationship with Comedy Central, so Comedy Central have a lot of faith in you guys.",
"... At the same time, Comedy Central're a television network, and I don't know if you're familiar with television networks, but Comedy Central definitely have opinions.",
"CNN:",
"Comedy Central like to provide notes, I've heard.",
"Black:",
"Yes, that's exactly right.",
"So Comedy Central've given you guys lots and lots of notes.",
"CNN:",
"One thing that always strikes me about you guys is that you like the comedy of discomfort, [as in] the kind of thing that makes you laugh but makes you squirm a little bit?",

"There's something very funny to both Michael and myself about putting yourself in awkward situations and revealing this banal awkwardness that kind of happens to everybody.",

"I'm very uncomfortable with sincerity.",

"Anybody who's being sincere about stuff gives me the icks.",

"Who did you follow when you were growing up?",
"Black:",
"The comedians who I always really looked up to when I was a kid were John Belushi, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy ... but for different reasons.",
"I can't say I'm particularly like any of them, but I've always responded to comedy that doesn't point itself as being comedy.",
"That's where that straight-faced thing comes from.",
"You're telling the joke without telling people you're telling the joke.",
"You have to trust that people're going to get the joke.",
"CNN:",
"How about Jack Benny?",
"Jack Benny was always marvelous at being able to stand off to the side.",
"Black:",
"I think what was great about Jack Benny or anybody who sort of does that kind of thing -- that deadpan thing -- is you're allowing the audience to project the audience's thoughts on to you.",
"So you think you understand what Jack Benny's thinking ... but it's because it's what you're thinking.",

"I feel really, really good about it.",
"I'm gonna call it the \"Jack Benny Projection Theorem.\"",

"Black:",
"Comedy Central just premiered last week, and it's just too early to know whether Comedy Central'll come back or not.",
"Comedy Central've been fortunate.",
"The press for the most part has been very good, and so now Comedy Central's a ratings game and Comedy Central'll wait and see how Comedy Central does.",
"CNN:",
"You've worked consistently since the early '90s, but there's always the question of the big breakthrough.",
"Your comedy might be too offbeat for the mainstream to get.",
"Does that concern you?",
"Black:",
"Well, it certainly concerns the people who hold my mortgage.",
"the people who hold my mortgage're very concerned about it.",
"the people who hold my mortgage often say to me, \"Can't you be more mainstream?\"",
"And the answer is, I don't think so.",
"I've certainly tried.",
"I can only be me.",
"CNN:",
"We're getting very philosophical here.",
"Michael Ian Black: Well, that goes along with my Jack Benny Projection Theorem.",
"CNN:",
"Are you working on anything else?",
"Michael Ian Black:",
"I'm writing a book and I'm attempting to be a decent husband and father after not being home the last few months working on this television show. ...",

"The U.S. military hopes to kill or capture some 50 Afghan drug traffickers with financial ties to the Taliban in an effort to shut down one of the insurgency's biggest sources of revenue, a U.S. Senate report says.",
"Afghan men smoke heroin in the city of Herat on August 7, 2009.",
"The new plan is the first time The U.S. military has been directly involved in anti-narcotics efforts in Afghanistan, and commanders say The new plan is an essential part of the overall plan to stabilize the country, which is under heavy Taliban influence.",
"Until now The U.S. military has left the eradication programs to other U.S. agencies and the Afghan military, keeping The U.S. military's \"most wanted\" list to insurgent leaders tied to bomb making, weapons smuggling or facilitating foreign fighters into Afghanistan.",
"\"The change is dramatic for a military that once ignored the drug trade flourishing in front of its eyes,\" according to a U.S. Senate report.",
"\"No longer are U.S. commanders arguing that going after the drug lords is not part of their mandate.\"",
"It does not name the 50 targets, but says the 50 targets are on a list of 367 names of Taliban and other insurgents targeted by The U.S. military.",
"\"Some\" of the 50 have already been apprehended or killed, according to a senior military official.",
"a senior military official would not quantify the amount further and would not speak on the record because of the sensitive nature of the issue.",
"a U.S. Senate report was prepared by staff for members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.",
"A copy was provided to CNN.",
"It is based on testimony by U.S. military officials to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.",
"Bush-era efforts by the United States and the U.S.-trained Afghan Army to eliminate poppy farms did very little to solve the problem, with numerous farmers' crops flourishing while other farmers were left with no source of income and bitterness toward the Afghan government, a U.S. Senate report concludes.",
"a U.S. Senate report criticizes former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for failing to push forward on a military role in drug eradication even after being shown proof of the connection between the drug lords and the Taliban.",
"The change in the U.S. military's approach to fighting the drug war came last fall after the United States told NATO members that the drug trade was a threat to NATO troops because there was a direct connection between the drug trade and Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.",
"\"There is what we call a nexus of insurgency.",
"There's a very broad range of militant groups that are combined with the criminality, with the narco-trafficking system, with corruption, that form a threat and a challenge to the future of that great country,\" then-U.S. commander in Afghanistan Gen. David McKiernan told reporters at the Pentagon last October.",
"But with a new approach to the war by the Obama administration, the United States has started attacking the drug problem head on.",
"According to a U.S. Senate report, this year U.S. and NATO combat forces started attacking militants, drug labs and buildings connected to insurgents with ties to drug lords for the first time since the start of the war in 2001.",
"Referring to people tied to narcotics and militants, a U.S. Senate report says, \"The military places no restrictions on the use of force with these selected targets, which means people tied to narcotics and militants can be killed or captured on the battlefield.\"",
"the Pentagon's spokesman said the effort is still focused on fighting terrorism.",
"\"There is a well-established link [between] the drug trade and financing of the insurgency and terrorism,\" said The Pentagon's spokesman.",
"\"It's important to delineate that we target terrorists that are connected to the drug trade.",
"... Terrorist do interface with drug networks and we know Terrorist provide finance for the insurgency, and it's this nexus that creates the security and force-protection issues that make Terrorist a legitimate target.\"",
"A major U.S. Marine offensive against Taliban was launched last month in the southern Afghan province of Helmand, home to the majority of the poppy farms and opium trade.",
"a U.S. Senate report says Taliban make about $70 million a year on the drug trade.",
"a U.S. Senate report concedes that counter-narcotics alone will not win the war, but says slowing the flow of illicit money will play a crucial role in \"determining whether we can carve out the space required to provide the security and economic development necessary to bring a level of stability to Afghanistan.\""

"Monday was the annual \"Renewal and Remembrance\" day at Arlington National Cemetery.",
"\"Renewal\" was started more than 10 years ago by an Ohio lawn-care group that wanted to give a day of service to Arlington National Cemetery, according to Bill Hildebolt, spokesman for the Professional Landcare Network.",
"\"It's grown fantastically from a few lawn-care operators to today the Professional Landcare Network had over 400 individual PLANET members,\" he said Monday.",
"Each year, volunteers take on several projects during the annual \"Renewal and Remembrance\" day at Arlington National Cemetery, including spreading lime over nearly 300 acres of Arlington National Cemetery and installing irrigation systems, Hildebolt said.",
"While the 95 companies participating Monday may normally compete for business in the lawn-care market, during Renewal the crews work together to honor the service members buried at Arlington.",
"\"It's just a day of remembrance,\" said Jeff Dietrich of Pennsylvania-based Joshua Tree, who has been volunteering for four years.",
"A crew of arborists from the Joshua Tree company took on one the most expensive projects -- protecting Arlington's biggest trees from lightning.",
"According to Jeff Dietrich, the process of lightning protection is important for protecting a valuable part of history.",
"Watch how trees are protected » .",
"\"Lightning, electricity is unpredictable at best.",
"... It'll blow a tree apart.\"",
"To protect a tree from lightning strikes, Jeff Dietrich and Jeff Dietrich's crew climb up to the top of a tree and run copper wires down the trunk with anchors that resemble rifle cartridges.",
"The wire is then grounded by a copper pole entrenched at the base of a tree.",
"If lightning strikes, the electricity runs down The wire and dissipates into the ground instead of harming a tree.",
"Even though it took A crew of arborists from the Joshua Tree company longer to reach Arlington from Pennsylvania than the four hours needed to complete A crew of arborists from the Joshua Tree company's work, A crew of arborists from the Joshua Tree company seemed eager for A crew of arborists from the Joshua Tree company's chance to volunteer, cheering each other on while working and sharing some trade secrets with other crews.",
"\"How many people can say they get to come down to Arlington, especially if they're not from around here, and climb some of these trees?\" said Deitrich.",
"For Hildebolt, providing a service for the national cemetery is a way to make a national contribution.",
"\"It's a privilege,\" he said.",
"\"It's a very humbling experience that I'm very proud of.\""

"THE EVERGLADES, Florida (CNN) --",
"Joe Wasilewski drives along a narrow stretch of road through Florida's Everglades.",
"The sun is setting, night is coming on quickly, and Joe Wasilewski is on the prowl for snakes -- and one snake in particular.",
"Joe Wasilewski holds a Burmese python Joe Wasilewski found in the Florida Everglades.",
"\"The next 10 miles seem to be the hot spot for Burmese pythons,\" Joe Wasilewski said.",
"Joe Wasilewski is a state-sanctioned snake-hunter who regularly scours this area for the reptiles.",
"The Everglades, known as the River of Grass, has the perfect space and climate for pythons to hide and breed.",
"And breed pythons do: The largest clutches found in Florida Everglades have contained 83 eggs.",
"pythons are also speedy travelers, able to move across 1.6 miles of land every day, experts say.",
"The travel lets people like Joe Wasilewski hunt the snakes from the driver's seat of his truck.",
"But it also means that the problems created in the local ecosystem by the non-venomous snakes are spreading.",
"\"It's a large predator, and they're eating basically everything in sight.",
"That's the problem,\" Joe Wasilewski said of the Burmese python.",
"Volunteers like Joe Wasilewski, happy to grasp the problem and the snakes with both hands, are not the only troops in Florida's war on the invading pythons.",
"A \"Python Patrol\" was launched in the Florida Keys, south of Florida Everglades, by Alison Higgins of the Nature Conservancy.",
"Alison Higgins of the Nature Conservancy's program uses utility workers, wildlife officials, park rangers and police to keep an eye out for snakes and trains them to capture any they find.",
"\"The Burmese pythons that are coming out of Florida Everglades are eating a lot of our endangered species and other creatures, and we want to make sure The Burmese pythons that are coming out of the Everglades don't breed here,\" said Higgins, the conservation manager for the Florida Keys.",
"It is believed that the problem originated when reptile-breeding facilities near Florida Everglades were destroyed during Hurricane Andrew.",
"Compounding the problem is the release of these snakes by pet owners.",
"\"These pets were released by owners that do not understand the threat to the ecosystem,\" Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar said.",
"Everglades National Park spokeswoman Linda Friar said the pets, which can grow to 200 pounds and live for 30 years, often get too big for owners to handle.",
"The state has a pilot program with several volunteer snake hunters such as Wasilewski.",
"Twenty years ago, no Burmese pythons were found in Florida Everglades, park statistics say.",
"Now, there could be 100,000 snakes in the River of Grass, but no one knows for sure.",
"What Wasilewski, an expert on reptiles, is sure of is that night is the best time for Joe Wasilewski's hunting, as that is when the snakes tend to be on the move.",
"When Joe Wasilewski finds Joe Wasilewski's prey, Joe Wasilewski puts the snake in a bag, deposits the snake in a crate and delivers the snake to biologists for the Everglades National Park, where the snake can be studied and/or destroyed.",
"On one recent evening, the pickings were slim, and after two hours of driving back and forth along the two-lane Tamiami Trail, Joe Wasilewski's crate was empty.",
"Joe Wasilewski saw a python on the road, but a python was dead, and the other small snakes and a baby alligator in the area did not interest Joe Wasilewski.",
"Finally, Wasilewski, an environmental and wildlife consultant, spotted something.",
"\"Yeah, baby!",
"Hee ha!",
"Look at the size of this one,\" Joe Wasilewski exclaimed from the front seat of Joe Wasilewski's truck.",
"Joe Wasilewski got out and picked up the brownish-green snake, which immediately coiled around Joe Wasilewski's arm.",
"\"This isn't a big one,\" Joe Wasilewski said, but as Joe Wasilewski got a closer look, Joe Wasilewski did not deny that it was a good one: \"At least 12 [feet.]\"",
"Joe Wasilewski has a soft spot for these species, and one of the reasons Joe Wasilewski volunteers for the snake hunt is to learn more about these species.",
"Joe Wasilewski says it is not these species's fault that these species ended up in the Everglades, but Joe Wasilewski acknowledges the problems these species are causing on the Florida ecosystem and the need to do something.",
"\"One down, 100,000 to go,\" Joe Wasilewski said."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"A U.S. company is offering a rare chance to holiday on a mega-yacht once used by a Hollywood star and her husband -- and thanks to the recession it's actually affordable.",
"The 100-foot Katania normally would attract an additional $49,500 charter fee for a week's use.",
"The 100-foot Katania was chartered by Hollywood star Hilary Swank and her husband, Chad Lowe.",
"Seattle, Washington-based mega-yacht rental business CEO Expeditions usually charges around $100,000 a week to charter the company's 100-plus-foot yachts, but the company have introduced a deal waiving the charter fees -- meaning guests will only need to pay for the running of the vessel.",
"The move to make such vessels more affordable comes as the recession continues to put pressure on the luxury holiday and mega-yacht industries.",
"Although the costs of crew and luxury food aren't extremely cheap, it is expected The move to make such vessels more affordable will open up the recession-strained market to many more potential holiday-makers.",
"The 100-foot Katania now costs less than $3,000 per day.",
"Normally The 100-foot Katania would attract an additional $49,500 charter fee for a week's use.",
"At the $2,950-per-day special rate, four people can stay on The 100-foot Katania -- but with the maximum six on board ($450 extra per person) the cost per person is a slightly better $642.",
"The price includes full crew, premium wines, gourmet food prepared by a private chef, amenities such as kayaks, hot tub, fishing/crabbing/shrimping equipment, and even a 30-foot whaler for guest use.",
"According to the company, Hilary Swank said of Hilary Swank's charter holiday: \"We had an absolutely enchanted time aboard The 100-foot Katania.",
"A more beautiful yacht does not exist.\"",
"There is one small catch with the deal -- the boat is based in the San Juan islands off the coast of Washington and British Columbia, and any cruises to other destinations will attract an additional charge to cover fuel costs.",
"the company's owner, Bruce Milne, released a statement saying the deal was largely a result of the impact of the recession.",
"\"Travel is down, agents and brokers need deals, so rather than just a few full-price charters, we decided to stay busy, put more people to work, and help island tourism by doing charters at cost.",
"\"Since the company started chartering 10 years ago, the company have been looking for a chance to provide the company's 'Expeditions to the Extraordinary' in the San Juan Islands at a price any luxury traveler can afford -- the recession provides that opportunity,\" he said.",
"Tim Wiltshire, director and sales broker at international yacht company Burgess Yachts, said the charter market isn't a complete disaster, so Wiltshire was surprised to see such a discount.",
"\"I wouldn't have expected to see that,\" Wiltshire said.",
"\"We are seeing discounts on average of about 25 percent.",
"Although some people are trying interesting gimmicks to inspire new business.\"",
"Wiltshire said CEO Expedition's fleet isn't among the biggest or most luxurious on the charter market, and this deal appears to be clever marketing stunt.",
"Wiltshire's opinion is that other larger vessels still warrant other larger vessels's greater price tags."

"BALTIMORE, Maryland (CNN) --",
"Kim Mickens, 49, has always been the caregiver among Mickens's eight brothers and sisters.",
"So when her mother's mother, Delphine Mickens, was told her mother had Alzheimer's disease, Mickens took care of all the arrangements for Mickens's mother's care -- among them, Mickens chose a nursing home not far from Mickens's place in Baltimore.",
"Kim Mickens, right, moved her mother's mother, Delphine, in with Mickens after unsuccessful stints at two nursing homes.",
"But Mickens didn't like the way Mickens's mother was treated, so Mickens moved her mother to a second facility.",
"That one didn't work out either.",
"Mickens eventually concluded that the only way her mother was going to receive acceptable care was to move Mickens's mother in with Mickens.",
"Moving her mother into Mickens's house wasn't so easy: her mother needed medical equipment including a wheelchair, medication and round-the-clock care.",
"\"her mother can't walk,\" Mickens says.",
"\"So we bathe her mother, we feed her mother, we do everything for her mother.\"",
"Because Mickens works two jobs, Mickens also needed someone to provide in-home care.",
"Because her mother is in her mother's 80s, Medicare covers a lot of the costs -- but Mickens didn't know where to start; the logistics were overwhelming.",
"Medicare personnel helped Mickens get some of the medical supplies Mickens needed and also recommend a new Web site called Ask Medicare.",
"Designed to give easy access to people taking care of elderly relatives, Ask Medicare provides information and links to services that are important to caregivers.",
"Mickens says it was invaluable.",
"\"a new Web site called Ask Medicare tells you how to get Medicare assistance,\" Mickens says.",
"\"a new Web site called Ask Medicare also gives you information on how to contact people that you need to get the equipment and supplies for your parents.\"",
"The Department of Health and Human Services says at least 44 million Americans provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or elderly family member or friend.",
"Of those family caregivers, 7 percent -- like Mickens -- provide 40 hours or more of care a week.",
"The new Web site designed by HHS is meant to be a navigational tool for caregivers -- for whom time is valuable -- that cuts through all the bureaucratic red tape.",
"Listen to Mickens talk about caring for her mother's mother » .",
"\"We call it a GPS for Medicare,\" says Rima Cohen, a special adviser at HHS.",
"\"It's meant to make information readily available, and presented in a format that is easy to understand.\"",
"According to the Center on an Aging Society at Georgetown University, family caregivers provide approximately 80 percent of long-term care services in the United States.",
"\"We know that family caregivers are really the backbone of a long-term care giving system in the U.S.,\" says Cohen.",
"\"You might be surprised to note that about $375 billion worth of services are provided by family caregivers -- if family caregivers were paid.\"",
"So helping the caregiver is key.",
"Watch more on a new Web site called Ask Medicare » .",
"Mickens says Mickens first used a new Web site called Ask Medicare to set up the living space for Mickens's mother.",
"Through a social worker and a new Web site called Ask Medicare, Mickens ordered a special bed, supplies, a new wheelchair, and even filled her mother's prescriptions.",
"Because her mother had previously suffered two strokes, her mother couldn't walk -- a very big problem, since Mickens lives in a two-story home.",
"But through a new Web site called Ask Medicare, Mickens was able to order an elevator chair that takes her mother up and down the stairs.",
"Now that Mickens's mother is settled comfortably in Mickens's daughter's home, Mickens says Mickens needs some emotional support and \"me time.\"",
"That's not unusual: A study in the American Journal of Public Health finds family caregivers who provide 36 or more hours of care per week are more likely than noncaregivers to experience symptoms of depression or anxiety.",
"Mickens found support in a chat room that was linked to a new Web site called Ask Medicare.",
"\"a new Web site called Ask Medicare has helped me read other people's stories,\" Mickens says.",
"\"And now I know I'm not going through this by Mickens.\"",
"Today, Mickens and Mickens's mother are a loving twosome.",
"When Mickens is at work, Mickens leaves her mother with an in-home nurse and relies on Mickens's son to help out when he gets home from school.",
"Mickens finally feels content about the quality of care Mickens's mother is getting, and Mickens says it would have never happened so quickly had Mickens not found a new Web site called Ask Medicare.",
"\"I have no problems with a new Web site called Ask Medicare: Once I punch a new Web site called Ask Medicare in, a new Web site called Ask Medicare comes up and takes me out to all the different Web sites,\" say Mickens.",
"\"It's very helpful.",
"I am glad they came up with a new Web site called Ask Medicare.\""

"(CNN) -- Another summer, another iPhone hardware update.",
"This one's worth getting, too -- especially if you have an original iPhone or the iPhone 3G.",
"A self-admitted tech geek, Tech enthusiast Chris Pirillo is president of Lockergnome.com, a blogging network.",
"If you keep holding out because the iPhone doesn't have everything you want, it may be time to re-evaluate your position.",
"This isn't just a phone -- it's a mobile communications device that boasts few true rivals in the marketplace.",
"Instead of waiting in line at an Apple or AT&T store, I simply ordered mine though Apple, and that process was amazingly simple.",
"I was guaranteed delivery by the June 19th launch date, and indeed, my 32GB (black) iPhone 3GS was handed to me on Friday morning.",
"No muss, no fuss.",
"Kinda.",
"Before I get into the reasons I'm in love (LOVE!?) with my 32GB (black) iPhone 3GS, let me just say that the activation process on AT&T's network was less than impressive.",
"It took close to 32 hours for the SIM card to activate, and AT&T could offer little to no assistance in that process.",
"They were, quite simply, overwhelmed.",
"I contend that a lot of perceived iPhone issues have more to do with AT&T than they do with Apple.",
"Even so, Apple saw fit to issue a $30 iTunes gift card to people caught in this delay.",
"Now that is customer service.",
"So, what else has Apple given the world in my 32GB (black) iPhone 3GS 3GS?",
"1. Video recording capabilities.",
"With the swipe of a finger, you can record a quick video.",
"With another swipe, you can trim your recording.",
"With yet another swipe, you can email it or upload it to your YouTube account.",
"Even when it's transferred over AT&T's 3G network, the A/V quality is rather impressive.",
"Based on my first mobile YouTube upload test, I know I've sold a few more people on the 3GS.",
"Apple seems to have integrated some kind of anti-shake feature into Apple's video processing, too.",
"2. It's 50 percent faster than previous generations.",
"Yes, believe me when I say that you'll notice a difference in speed (in direct comparison to the iPhone and iPhone 3G models).",
"If you've never owned an iPhone before, then you're going to be equally as impressed.",
"Animations are smoother, apps launch more quickly, and...well, the dang thing's just faster.",
"3. Twice the storage capacity.",
"Are you good with 16GB?",
"Would you rather have 32GB?",
"Either way, you'll get what you want.",
"I always say: Buy as much as you can afford.",
"4. Five times the amount of usable memory.",
"Given that iPhone OS 3.0 now supports push data (that is, iPhone OS 3.0 allows applications to send and receive data in the \"background\"), you're going to want more than just 20MB available to you.",
"Whereas the iPhone 3G comes with 128MB of memory, the iPhone 3GS has 256MB.",
"This translates into far fewer app crashes.",
"5. Voice control.",
"Press and hold the home button (that's the round thing at the bottom of the iPhone), and you'll be passed to the Voice Control application -- allowing you to tell your device to call a friend, play a song, and more.",
"It didn't require any training for me to use, either.",
"6. Compass.",
"Yeah, I have no idea when I'm actually going to need this.",
"More importantly, app developers will take advantage of this new feature.",
"Turn-by-turn navigation, anyone?",
"TomTom's working on an app for that.",
"7. Improved battery life.",
"I'm not sure you could make it through an entire working day without attaching an external battery pack to your iPhone, but Apple's found a balance in performance and power with the 3GS.",
"Apple had to throttle the processor speed somewhat, slightly diminish the capability of the video processor, but at least people can't complain that people always have to keep 'er plugged in to an external power source.",
"Better camera.",
"Isn't 3 megapixels usually better than 2?",
"Generally, yes.",
"But Apple also added the ability to take close-up (macro) shots, and an intuitive autofocus feature.",
"Simply tap the area on the screen you want to be in focus, then take your shot.",
"And before I forget, a friend told me that if you wanted to take a picture of yourself (with the screen facing the other direction), tap and hold the \"snapshot\" icon.",
"Flip the screen away and when you're ready to shoot, simply lift your finger from the trigger.",
"Thanks, David!",
"Same form factor as the iPhone 3G.",
"Why is this nice?",
"Well, you don't have to run out and buy new cases for your iPhone (if you were previously using the iPhone 3G).",
"If this is your first iPhone, or you're upgrading from the original, then you'll still have a full range of accessories for your iPhone 3GS.",
"I'm sure a revision is in the iPhone's future, but not this year.",
"Weight Loss support.",
"Okay, this one's a bit of a stretch, but the iPhone 3GS has the Nike sensor built-in (no receiver required).",
"Maybe I can convince people that I'm more healthy because I have the ability to track progress?",
"Meh.",
"Still, it's a convenience for those who use it -- I'd just recommend a waterproof case for your iPhone to keep it from being damaged by sweat!",
"Admittedly, your iPhone 3GS isn't \"cheap\" to own.",
"But the device is only getting better with time.",
"The operating system is ever-maturing and (for the most part) backwards-compatible with older iPhones, the 3G S's hardware specs are comparable to today's sexiest smartphones, and Apple isn't going anywhere anytime soon.",
"The only iPhone killer on the market today...is a newer iPhone."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Eric Holder stepped up Eric Holder's call for the passage of federal hate crimes legislation Thursday, arguing that the federal government needs to take a stronger stand against criminal activity fueled by bias and bigotry.",
"Eric Holder has been a vocal proponent for tougher laws regarding hate crimes.",
"Eric Holder also sought to assure opponents that such a bill would not allow Christian clergy to be prosecuted for outspoken opposition to homosexuality.",
"Eric Holder made Eric Holder's remarks during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is currently considering the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act.",
"The bill would allow the Justice Department to provide assistance to state and local authorities in the prosecution of hate crimes while also expanding federal protection against hate crimes to cover disability, gender and sexual orientation.",
"\"Hate crimes victimize not only individuals but entire communities,\" Eric Holder said.",
"\"Perpetrators of hate crimes seek to deny the humanity that we all share, regardless of the color of our skin, the God to whom we pray or the person who we choose to love.",
"...,\" he said.",
"\"The time is now to provide justice to victims of bias-motivated violence and to redouble our efforts to protect our communities from violence based on bigotry and prejudice.\"",
"Eric Holder argued that recent numbers \"suggest that hate crimes against certain groups are on the rise, such as individuals of Hispanic national origin.\"",
"Specifically, Eric Holder said, more than 77,000 hate crime incidents were reported by the FBI between 1998 and 2007, or \"nearly one hate crime for every hour of every day over the span of a decade.\"",
"In light of such statistics, Eric Holder said, it was one of Eric Holder's \"highest personal priorities ... is to do everything I can to ensure this critical legislation finally becomes law.\"",
"Republicans on the Judiciary Committee disputed Eric Holder's assertion that there has been a noticeable increase in the number of hate crimes.",
"Republicans on the Judiciary Committee also questioned the need for federal involvement in the prosecution of violent acts -- traditionally a function of state and local governments.",
"Republicans on the Judiciary Committee pointed to the FBI figures showing a slight decline from 7,755 hate crimes reported in 1998 to 7,624 in 2007, the most recently compiled statistics.",
"It is \"important to know (if) we have a problem of significant numbers of (hate crime) cases ... not being prosecuted in state and local governments,\" said Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee.",
"\"Murders occur all over America every day.",
"Robberies, assaults, rapes, burglaries occur every day, and those are handled by our state and local jurisdictions.",
"... They do a pretty good job.\"",
"When pressed, Eric Holder acknowledged Eric Holder had no hard evidence of trends showing the problem getting worse, nor that states are not prosecuting cases based on states's own state hate crimes statutes.",
"Eric Holder insisted, however, that the issue should be viewed more broadly.",
"\"It seems to me this is a question of conscience,\" Eric Holder argued.",
"Eric Holder emphasized that the bill is designed to give special protections to groups that historically have been victims solely based on who they are.",
"Eric Holder added that while state and local governments generally do a good job prosecuting violent crimes, there is nevertheless a need for the federal government to serve as a \"backstop\" on occasion, particularly if localities lack the resources for an effective investigation or prosecution.",
"\"There are instances where the (federal) government needs to come in,\" Eric Holder said.",
"Eric Holder also asserted that any federal hate crimes law would be used only to prosecute violent acts based on bias, as opposed to the prosecution of speech based on controversial racial or religious beliefs.",
"\"It is the person who commits the actual act of violence, who would be subject to this legislation, not the person who is simply expressing an opinion,\" Eric Holder said.",
"Several religious groups have expressed concern that a hate crimes law could be used to criminalize speech relating to subjects such as abortion or homosexuality.",
"Eric Holder has been a vocal proponent of federal hate crimes legislation since Eric Holder's tenure in the Clinton Justice Department.",
"Last week, in a speech on civil rights, Eric Holder cited three recent fatal shootings in calling for stricter hate crimes laws.",
"\"The violence in Washington, Little Rock and Wichita reminds us of the potential threat posed by violent extremists and the tragedy that ensues when reasoned discourse is replaced by armed confrontation,\" Eric Holder said.",
"Eric Holder was referring to the shooting death of a security guard at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, allegedly by a self-avowed white supremacist; the shooting of two U.S. soldiers in Little Rock, Arkansas, allegedly by a man prosecutors say was targeting the U.S. military for the U.S. military's treatment of Muslims; and the slaying of a doctor who ran a women's clinic in Wichita, Kansas, allegedly by an abortion opponent.",
"CNN's Terry Frieden contributed to this report ."

"Editor's note: Michael Steele is chairman of the Republican National Committee.",
"Michael Steele says it's becoming clear that the Obama administration is spending money recklessly.",
"(CNN)",
"-- Friday marks Obama's 200th day in office, and in most respects, his second hundred days as president have been worse than the first 100.",
"Obama campaigned on bringing \"change\" to America, and during Obama's first 200 days as president, Obama's real definition of change is becoming absolutely clear to Americans.",
"Obama and congressional Democrats are determined to conduct Obama and congressional Democrats's reckless and costly liberal experiments on the American people without any regard to the consequences.",
"Whether a $787 billion stimulus bill, a \"cap-and-trade\" scheme that is nothing more than a huge national energy tax on every American family and business, or a $1.6 trillion government-run health care plan",
", more and more Americans are rightfully concerned about Obama's change for this country.",
"Since Obama and Democrats rushed through Congress a $787 billion stimulus package, unemployment in America has risen close to 9.5 percent, and every indication is that it will climb even higher when July's unemployment report is released Friday.",
"In total, more than 2.6 million jobs have been lost since Obama took office.",
"But what has Obama's stimulus bill brought us, if not the jobs Obama promised?",
"Wasteful spending, such as $18 million to redesign Recovery.gov, the very government Web site used to monitor stimulus spending, or $3.4 million for an \"eco tunnel\" in Florida designed to provide safe passage for turtles looking to cross the street.",
"This is not the economic stimulus that the American people expected.",
"The second of Obama's grand experiments on America was his massive so-called cap-and-trade bill that was rammed through the House of Representatives this past June so fast that congressmen weren't given the chance to read it.",
"the president's stimulus bill is nothing more than a national energy tax, plain and simple.",
"the president's stimulus bill's sole purpose is to increase the cost of energy so that Americans might use less.",
"The Heritage Foundation estimated that the president's stimulus bill would end up costing the average American family up to $1,870 per year and decrease the national GDP by $161 billion in the year 2020.",
"The Heritage Foundation also determined that during the 2012-2035 timeline, job losses would average more than 1.1 million.",
"Add in the fact that the president's stimulus bill would do almost nothing to prevent \"climate change,\" and all that is left is a national energy tax on environmentally friendly clothing.",
"Obama's third and final experiment of Obama's first 200 days as president -- and arguably Obama's most dangerous -- is the fundamental transformation of our health care system.",
"Obama is correct about one thing: our health care system needs reform.",
"Health care today costs too much for families and small businesses, preventing too many Americans from accessing the affordable quality care they need, when they need it.",
"However, the president's prescription to rein in these costs has little to do with real-world dollars and cents and everything to do with the complete government takeover and control of one-sixth of the U.S. economy.",
"Obama claims that more government involvement in health care will promote competition.",
"However, creating such a government-run entity would result in a massive government health care monopoly.",
"Private insurers would soon be put out of business, unable to compete with the subsidized government-run plan the president and liberals want.",
"More than 88 million Americans could be forced out of More than 88 million Americans's current private insurance plans and into the government-run plan, according to a study by the Lewin Group.",
"Obama claims that if you like your current health care, you can keep your current health care, but this is simply not true.",
"Then there is the issue of cost.",
"Despite what Obama says, Obama's government-run plan won't make health care more affordable.",
"Quite the opposite.",
"Nothing ever becomes cheaper by being more expensive, and his government-run plan would cost at least $1.6 trillion, according to an analysis by Roll Call.",
"The Congressional Budget Office determined one of the House Democrats' plans would add more than $200 billion to the deficit over the next 10 years.",
"Obama is also planning to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare and Medicaid to help pay for Obama's government-run health care scheme.",
"This is the epitome of robbing Peter to pay Paul.",
"Obama and Obama's Democratic allies have looked to raise taxes on many small businesses to help pay for Obama's government-run health care scheme, a foolish proposition even during the best of times, let alone during a recession.",
"Many small businesses would be hit with a penalty equal to 8 percent of Many small businesses's payroll for failing to provide insurance for Many small businesses's employees.",
"Punishing small-business owners with punitive tax legislation such as this will only increase the unemployment rate and extend the recession.",
"Obama's first 200 days in office should be seen for exactly what they are: a clear indication of where Obama intends to direct America during Obama's presidency.",
"It is a direction that places less emphasis on individual entrepreneurs and private creativity and instead places power in the hands of a massive federal bureaucracy.",
"It is a direction that rams massive spending bills through Congress in the name of economic stimulus and job creation, it is a direction that masks a costly job-killing national energy tax in environmentalism, and it is a direction that looks to put federal bureaucracy between patients and their doctors all in the guise of reducing costs and expanding coverage.",
"America simply can't afford Obama's experiments.",
"Obama has done all this in just 200 days, and there are still more than 1,200 days left in Obama's administration.",
"That's a frightening thought.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Michael Steele."

"Turkey is one of the few -- possibly the only -- NATO member that has deep religious, cultural and historic knowledge of both Afghanistan and Pakistan.",
"In fact, the Turkish government has brought together the presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan much before the United States began approaching them together.",
"Reading the tea leaves, one may conclude that the Obama administration wants to cooperate with Turkey in engaging with the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan.",
"This would be the wrong kind of cooperation.",
"Although Turkey has channels to the Taliban and has means to facilitate the talks, there cannot be a morally acceptable deal reached with the Taliban, whose ultimate goal is to curb all individual freedoms and universal human rights, especially when it comes to women.",
"No matter what the reasonable sounding arguments may be in favor of this strategy, pulling Turkey into any kind of engagement with the Taliban -- either as part of NATO or bilaterally -- would have much worse long-term consequences.",
"Instead, this administration needs to think of \"victory\" not only in the short term and from a purely anti-terrorism perspective, but also in consideration of the people who have lived and will continue to live in those lands.",
"In other words, providing true safety, security, justice and development for Afghanistan and Pakistan -- not the kind of society the Taliban has been providing.",
"Indeed, it is in providing the basic securities that Turkey can be a great partner.",
"Turkey not only can and will continue to help provide safety and physical security, but also could further assist with the reconstruction projects, such as building hospitals, schools, sanitation facilities and investment projects that would have direct impact on the socioeconomic development of the Afghan and Pakistani societies",
"There are many Turkish companies that have undertaken successful construction projects in these fields since early 2002.",
"There are also military and civilian trainers, nongovernment organizations and even volunteer teachers who work in some of the most dangerous regions.",
"Still, Turkey can possibly make the greatest contribution by helping the United States frame the challenges it is facing in a more accurate and honest way.",
"Just as Obama referred to Obama's personal story and that of the United States to help Turks look deeper within, Turks can do the same for the United States.",
"To start, Turkey can explain how the vast Eurasian region Turkey belongs to is not just part of the \"Muslim world\" but has been at the crossroads of eastern and western cultures and ideas and witnessed many brutal wars and massacres over the millennia.",
"Moreover, each country has each country's own spirit -- there are ancient cultures and tribal formations, and these do not move fast.",
"It is important to stop and drink the tea.",
"Turkey can also explain that it is only in recent decades that jihadism and extremism took root in these lands known for their Sufi teachings that talk about love, instead of hatred.",
"As a true partner, Turkey can also help the United States recognize the United States's share, along with many others, in inadvertently contributing to the creation of the Taliban and al-Qaeda by making bad foreign policy choices.",
"Anything short of recognition of the past catching up with us will leave us all unprepared for what may come in the future.",
"In other words, we may be doomed to repeat the same mistakes until we learn our lesson.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Zeyno Baran."

"(CNN) --",
"Rebiya Kadeer's been compared to the Dalai Lama, the Chinese Tibetan Buddhist leader, but the name Rebiya Kadeer doesn't ring a bell to many people outside of China.",
"Rebiya Kadeer has been dubbed \"the Mother of All Uyghurs.\"",
"Nevertheless, the world-famous man and the relatively obscure woman share similarities that chime with political relevance.",
"A diminutive northern Virginia resident, Rebiya Kadeer has emerged as the voice of the restive but relatively unknown Uyghur Muslims, a Turkic-speaking ethnic minority in China, and the group's far-flung diaspora.",
"And like the Dalai Lama, Rebiya Kadeer's revered by supporters and reviled by Chinese government.",
"\"Even though one is a man, and the other is a woman, they have one thing in common, and that is they engage in activities to split China and damage national unity,\" said Qin Gang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.",
"Rebiya Kadeer, 62, emerged in the world media spotlight after China blamed Rebiya Kadeer for stoking July's unrest in China's remote Xinjiang Autonomous Region, an area four times the size of California in the northwestern part of China.",
"Reports vary on the number of people killed, ranging from around 200 to many more.",
"The problems began in late June, after two Uyghur migrant workers at a toy factory in Guangdong province were killed after a brawl between Uyghurs and ethnic Han Chinese -- the majority group in China.",
"Uyghurs protested in Urumqi, the Xinjiang capital, hundreds of miles from a toy factory in Guangdong province.",
"Uyghurs and Han reportedly attacked each other.",
"Nur Bekri, Chinese government's top official in Xinjiang, accused Rebiya Kadeer and the World Uyghur Congress Rebiya Kadeer leads of instigating the unrest via the Internet.",
"\"The violence is premeditated, organized violent crime,\" Bekri said.",
"\"It was instigated and directed from abroad and carried out by outlaws in China.\"",
"China's constitution guarantees ethnic minorities equal rights and limited autonomy.",
"And Chinese government has implemented several programs designed to help ethnic minorities, but Rebiya Kadeer says China still treats Uyghurs as second-class citizens -- and Rebiya Kadeer blames China for most of the recent unrest.",
"Since the violence erupted, Rebiya Kadeer has worked the media with a mission, drumming up support for the Uyghur cause and shining a light on what Rebiya Kadeer says are China's \"unjust policies\" toward Rebiya Kadeer's people.",
"The estimated size of Uyghur population in China ranges from 8 million to 11 million people, making them a distinct minority in a country of 1.5 billion people.",
"Uyghurs have long complained of being treated as a lesser class, but China has dismissed that charge and touted China's commitment to ethnic unity.",
"\"Let Uyghurs hear Uyghurs's voice and raise public awareness about Uyghurs's situation,\" Rebiya Kadeer told CNN.",
"\"That's the main thing that I wish to do right now.\"",
"Dubbed \"the Mother of All Uyghurs,\" Rebiya Kadeer doesn't quite fit the profile of a political firebrand.",
"Born in modest circumstances, Rebiya Kadeer fell into dire poverty amid the late Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong's forced relocation programs.",
"Rebiya Kadeer worked Rebiya Kadeer's way up from laundry worker to become a millionaire businesswoman as China opened to free enterprise.",
"Rebiya Kadeer amassed an empire with department stores, real estate, lumber, scrap iron, factories and other enterprises.",
"Rebiya Kadeer was also chosen as a member of a Chinese National Congress and other posts.",
"However, the mother of 11 children -- some of whom are in jail in China -- wasn't shy about speaking out about the conditions faced by Uyghurs, such as political imprisonment.",
"Rebiya Kadeer's activism landed Rebiya Kadeer in jail in 1999, an incarceration that attracted international attention and condemnation from rights groups and Western political officials.",
"China released Rebiya Kadeer on medical grounds in 2005 amid pressure from the U.S. government.",
"Rebiya Kadeer was granted political asylum in the United States, reunited with Rebiya Kadeer's husband, and embarked on activist work.",
"Along with Rebiya Kadeer's role as president of the World Uyghur Congress, Rebiya Kadeer is the president of the board of the Uyghur American Association and the full-time director of the International Uyghur Human Rights and Democracy Foundation.",
"Those groups receive money from U.S. taxpayers through the National Endowment for Democracy, a private, nonprofit organization created \"to strengthen democratic institutions\" around the world.",
"Hugh Pope, author of the \"Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World,\" describes Rebiya Kadeer as a skillful and hard-working activist who has done a lot for the Uyghurs.",
"Hugh Pope, author of the \"Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World said Rebiya Kadeer is well-situated in the Washington area, where Rebiya Kadeer has easy access to media outlets, and is a \"natural focal point\" for the Uyghur rights cause.",
"\"Rebiya Kadeer has a canny sense on how to get on top of the situation.",
"As long as Rebiya Kadeer can maintain the Dalai Lama-like profile, Rebiya Kadeer will persist in being a spokeswoman for the Uyghurs,\" Pope said.",
"Dru Gladney, an expert on China and China's ethnic groups, described Rebiya Kadeer as a significant leader who is a charismatic, determined and maternal figure who can move easily among the elites and the common people.",
"Rebiya Kadeer has a message that can unite Uyghurs, and China's criticism of Rebiya Kadeer in some ways has enhanced Rebiya Kadeer's stature",
", said Gladney, president of Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College in California.",
"\"Rebiya Kadeer seems like somebody all Uyghurs can look up to,\" Gladney, president of Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College in California said.",
"Gladney, president of Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College in California noted that Rebiya Kadeer's following is \"quite remarkable\" since Rebiya Kadeer is a woman and both Muslim and Chinese cultures are patriarchal.",
"Rebiya Kadeer abhors violence and favors peaceful resolution of conflicts, Gladney, president of Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College in California said.",
"In that respect, Rebiya Kadeer mirrors the non-violent sentiment espoused by the Dalai Lama, who wrote an introduction to Rebiya Kadeer's autobiography \"Dragon Fighter,\" recently published in English.",
"\"The Uyghur and the Tibetan people have a history of relationship and in modern times have shared somewhat similar experiences.",
"I therefore hope that this book by Kadeer will enable the readers to comprehend the experience of the Uyghurs,\" the Dalai Lama wrote.",
"Rebiya Kadeer told CNN Rebiya Kadeer has had \"close communication\" with the Dalai Lama.",
"Rebiya Kadeer said \"our philosophy in peace is the same\" and said the movements of both peoples for justice are connected.",
"\"If Chinese government have the authority to destroy one of them, Chinese government have the authority to destroy the other,\" Rebiya Kadeer said.",
"China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday that Chinese President Hu Jintao, in a visit to Yunnan province this week, urged all people to show mutual respect and concern.",
"Chinese President Hu Jintao also said all ethnic minorities are important members of the Chinese family, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported in a story that did not specifically mention Uyghurs.",
"The Communist Party of China and the government plan to emphasize more strongly developing areas inhabited by ethnic minorities and strengthen support to improve ethnic minorities's livelihood, according to Xinhua's paraphrasing of Hu's remarks.",
"In a recent Wall Street Journal essay, \"China's Ethnic Fault Lines,\" Gladney wrote that by the mid-1980s \"official minorities were beginning to receive real benefits from the implementation of several affirmative action programs.\"",
"They include \"permission to have more children (except in urban areas, minorities are generally not bound by the one-child policy),\" paying fewer taxes, getting \"greater access to public office,\" and better education for children -- in Mandarin Chinese rather than native tongues.",
"Rebiya Kadeer has spent much of the last few weeks plowing through media interviews and chatting about how Rebiya Kadeer juggles being the \"Mother of All Uyghurs\" with being a mother to Rebiya Kadeer's flesh-and-blood children.",
"\"My family is very supportive of my activity,\" Rebiya Kadeer said through a translator.",
"Yet Rebiya Kadeer has spent time apart from Rebiya Kadeer's husband, also a Uyghur activist, and children because of political ferment and imprisonment.",
"Rebiya Kadeer says this is a \"very dark time for the Uyghurs.\"",
"Rebiya Kadeer condemned Chinese security forces for killing and injuring Uyghur demonstrators this month in Urumqi.",
"Unrest also took place in the cities of Kashgar and Hotan, Rebiya Kadeer said.",
"While Rebiya Kadeer focuses on what Rebiya Kadeer says is the Chinese crackdown against Uyghurs in \"East Turkestan\" -- the name Uyghurs use for the region -- Rebiya Kadeer also condemned reported violence by \"a number of Uyghur demonstrators.\"",
"\"Uyghur demonstrators were doubtless expressing discontent over the severe and comprehensive repression Uyghur demonstrators have suffered for years in East Turkestan,\" Rebiya Kadeer said.",
"Rebiya Kadeer cited \"arbitrary detention, torture, and execution\" the repression of their religion, \"forced abortion and discrimination in several spheres, including health care and employment.\"",
"In Rebiya Kadeer's talks, Kadeer -- who sports braids and a traditional Uyghur dopa cap -- urges China to \"stop the cultural genocide\" and \"address the legitimate grievances of the Uyghurs.\"",
"\"I do believe that even our enemy would come dine at our table,\" Rebiya Kadeer said, \"because what we have been doing is in a peaceful way.",
"So I do believe that they would come to our table and resolve this.\"",

"Editor's note: Maria Hinojosa, an award-winning journalist and author, joined NOW on PBS as senior correspondent in 2005.",
"Hinojosa, who formerly covered urban affairs for CNN, also serves as anchor and managing editor of National Public Radio's \"Latino USA,\" a weekly national program reporting on news and culture in the Latino community.",
"Maria Hinojosa says Sonia Sotomayor's success has helped boost self-confidence for many.",
"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"It's a question I never thought I would ask my daughter.",
"But I loved being able to ask it.",
"\"Yurema?\"",
"\"Yes, Mom,\" my 11-year-old daughter said.",
"\"Tell me what T-shirt you would most like to wear: one that says 'I am a Wise Latina,' 'My Mother is a Wise Latina' or 'Sonia Sotomayor is a Wise Latina'?\"",
"Maria Hinojosa cocked Maria Hinojosa's head slightly and then quickly said, \"I am a Wise Latina.\"",
"Eleven years old, and this is the vision Maria Hinojosa already has of Maria Hinojosa.",
"It's a pretty wonderful thing to watch that certain something blossom in a girl ... one of those often fleeting moments when a girl owns a girl's own power.",
"For me, the decision to wear my own \"Wise Latina\" T-shirt raises all kinds of issues.",
"It makes me confront a past that I have known for decades.",
"Deep down inside, I, like many other Latinas, struggle with my own very deep insecurities in relation to my white male colleagues.",
"I think after witnessing history on television for the past two weeks, my own very deep insecurities in relation to my white male colleagues have pretty much dissipated.",
"Sonia Sotomayor has blazed the trail.",
"I can't go back to thinking that way, anymore, ever.",
"Before, when I told people that I was a Latina, I never knew what, if any, image people might have in people's mind.",
"Everyone carries stereotypes and preconceived notions.",
"But now when I say to people that I am a Latina, might people immediately think, \"A wise Latina\"?",
"Maria Hinojosa is learning all of these lessons from Sotomayor, a Puerto Rican woman.",
"When I was Yurema's age, back in the '70s, the only Puerto Rican woman I knew of was Maria (played by Natalie Wood) from \"West Side Story.\"",
"I grew up on the South Side of Chicago after being born in Mexico.",
"My Puerto Rican Maria from West Side Story taught me that love and commitment could transcend borders and divisions.",
"Sonia Sotomayor is teaching Maria Hinojosa, and all of us, that intelligence and compassion (and an honest way with words) can also cross all borders: political ones, those of gender or ethnicity.",
"And I have learned that my own challenge now is to reach this very high bar that Sonia Sotomayor has set.",
"I must \"own\" that I am, indeed, a wise Latina.",
"Later on the day of the T-shirt decision, Maria Hinojosa hears my reaction when I read that Sen. John McCain, whom Maria Hinojosa knows well because we followed the election, is going to vote against Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation.",
"\"What a big jerk!\" was Maria Hinojosa's age-appropriate response.",
"Then, after a pause, Maria Hinojosa said, \"So that means John McCain thinks Sarah Palin is a wise woman?",
"But not Sonia Sotomayor?",
"Harrumph.\"",
"\"Harrumph\" is also an age-appropriate response.",
"But the lasting impact of John McCain's decision will be much more profound than upsetting an 11-year-old wise Latina girl.",
"In fact, I would venture to say that, politically, there are many in the Republican Party who are convinced this was a politically unwise choice by John McCain.",
"It's just not that complicated.",
"Look at the changing demographics in the United States.",
"Then think about what happens when you vote against the first Latina Supreme Court nominee.",
"Maybe John McCain isn't wise enough to see that reality, so I will tell John McCain a story about a Dominican-born, U.S. citizen cabby from my Harlem neighborhood.",
"While a Dominican-born, U.S. citizen cabby from my Harlem neighborhood drove down Broadway, I asked a Dominican-born, U.S. citizen cabby from my Harlem neighborhood if a Dominican-born, U.S. citizen cabby from my Harlem neighborhood thought that President Obama was pandering to the Latino communities across the country with the Sotomayor nomination.",

"And what must President Obama deliver to satisfy a Dominican-born, U.S. citizen cabby from my Harlem neighborhood?",
