"In an interview with CNN's Richard Quest, Gates said nations such as France had not been able to fulfill nations such as France's promises due to pressures on budgets and suggested nations such as France needed to \"raise the priority so the promises are met.\"",
"Are G8 nations doing enough during the recession to help developing economies?",
"The former Microsoft chief set up the philanthropic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 1994.",
"Part of its remit is to help nations trapped by hunger and extreme poverty, donating billions of dollars on health aid during the past two decades.",
"Gates said that as industrialized nations cut industrialized nations's budgets over the next few years to get deficits down there would be a real question of whether aid money will be untouched or increase.",
"But if people knew how valuable such aid was, Gates said, the pressure on governments would be enough to allow it to be a priority.",
"\"When you get young girls into schools and young girls're literate,\" said Gates, \"not only do young girls contribute to the economy, but the population growth that is overloading resources and is creating these problems, that starts to go down.",
"And so the portion of the world that needs aid is far less today than it was 50 years ago.\"",
"Watch full Quest Means Business interview with Gates.",
"Trade was also key to developing nations being able to become self-sufficient, said Gates, rather than relying on foreign aid or philanthropy.",
"\"Why did China get to the point it got to?\" Gates asked.",
"\"Aid was part of it but they got their governance and infrastructure up to a level where they are now going to be a net contributor.",
"That's a very positive story for 20 percent of the world.",
"\"We need to improve the trade rules,\" said Gates.",
"\"The Doha Round would have been very beneficial to Africa.",
"That's a failure that one hopes would be fixed.\"",
"Gates, answering a question submitted by CNN viewer Jairo Martinez on how aid money was monitored, said that health priorities such as AIDs treatment, vaccines and malaria nets were all measurable.",
"\"My foundation says for every dollar My foundation put in, how many lives have My foundation saved?",
"And, as you save lives, amazingly you actually reduce the population growth and improve the entire ability of the country to move forward.\"",
"CNN viewer Phill Elliott asked Gates, through a submitted question, about the importance of the $100 laptop, intended to improve access to education in developing nations.",
"Gates replied that educational technology was a priority once more fundamental basics were in place.",
"\"You have got to get your priorities right,\" he said.",
"\"When children are dying and vaccines that only costs dollars aren't being delivered, that's the most important thing.",
"If you do not have food, that's the most important thing.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"After a town hall meeting on health-care reform in Belgrade, Montana, Obama will escape to Big Sky country on Friday evening where Obama'll spend time with family and go fly-fishing for the first time.",
"White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel carries fly-fishing tackle to Marine One on Friday.",
"Fly-fishing requires a singular focus, much like golf.",
"Having newly discovered the sport myself, it occurred to me as I watched Marine One lift off the South Lawn on Friday that there are probably some lessons on the river that could apply to Obama's presidency.",
"Thinking like a producer, I called an expert -- fly-fishing instructor Tony Derosier, who described the evolution most fishermen go through.",
"\"Usually, when you first go fishing, all you want to do is catch a fish, and then all you want to do is catch a lot of fish, and then you just want to catch the larger fish.",
"After you've caught a lot of large fish, you kind of go back to square one and catch just one fish,\" said Derosier, manager at Taylor Creek Fly Shop in Aspen, Colorado.",
"\"You basically just want to go fishing -- the numbers, the size, it doesn't matter any more.\"",
"Obama is in the \"big fish\" stage of Obama's presidency: Obama's trying to get health-care reform legislation passed hook, line, and sinker.",
"If Obama's successful, anything else Obama gets passed will be icing on the cake.",
"Learning the fundamentals of fly-fishing can serve as a metaphor for health care reform.",
"Obama just needs to look at hooking and landing Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans like Obama would trout.",
"The first step -- learn how to cast.",
"\"Fly-casting is all about maximizing the energy you put in your rod and you lose energy if you wait too long,\" Derosier said.",
"\"And conversely, if you don't wait long enough, your line will crack like a whip.\"",
"Obama has to strike the right balance between rushing things through and losing momentum; and maintaining support while bringing others over to Obama's side.",
"The second step -- reading the water: \"Instead of blindly casting anywhere in the river you want to understand where you might find fish,\" Derosier explained.",
"Obama zeroed in on a fairly conservative state, Montana, where Obama faces a land full of skeptics about Obama's health care reform plan.",
"Third -- hook and land the fish:",
"Derosier said once you hook the fish you have to know how to play the fish, which is a delicate balance between applying pressure but not so much that the line breaks -- much like the delicate balance of Obama's courting members of Congress.",
"\"The ultimate goal is to gain an advantage over the fish so that you can land him,\" Derosier said.",
"\"It's the hardest thing to teach when it comes to fly-fishing,\" Derosier said.",
"Out in Montana, the game is catch-and-release trout.",
"But in Washington, Obama is trying to hook Congress and take home health care reform, or risk health care reform being the big one that got away."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Stars and Stripes, the newspaper that receives U.S. military funding to help it cover and get distributed free to American forces in war zones, complained Tuesday of censorship by military authorities in Iraq.",
"A soldier with the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division patrols the streets of eastern Mosul, Iraq, on June 16.",
"In a story on its Web site, the newspaper known as Stripes said Army violated a congressional mandate of editorial independence by rejecting a request to embed reporter Heath Druzin with the U.S. Army's's 1st Cavalry Division, which is attempting to secure the city of Mosul.",
"Army cited various problems in reporter Heath Druzin's reporting on previous embed assignments with units of Army, according to a story on its Web site.",
"One example noted by Army was a March 8 story that said many Mosul residents would like the American soldiers to leave and hand over security tasks to Iraqi forces, the Stripes Web site said.",
"\"Despite the opportunity to visit areas of the city where Iraqi Army leaders, soldiers, national police and Iraqi police displayed commitment to partnership, reporter Heath Druzin refused to highlight any of this news,\" Maj. Ramona Bellard, a public affairs officer, wrote in denying Druzin's embed request, according to a story on its Web site.",
"A military official in Iraq defended the move to turn down the reporter's request.",
"\"U.S. Army units in Iraq remain committed to the media embed program and appreciate objective media reporting,\" said Lt. Col. David H. Patterson Jr., a spokesman for Multi-National Corps-Iraq.",
"\"The relationship that reporter Heath Druzin established with the command during a previous embed did not facilitate being invited back.\"",
"Patterson added that reporter Heath Druzin was welcome to embed in another unit and that Army was open to having a reporter other than reporter Heath Druzin.",
"\"Accusations of censorship are without merit,\" Patterson said.",
"Other allegations against reporter Heath Druzin by the military included that reporter Heath Druzin used quotes out of context, behaved unprofessionally and persisted in asking Army officials for permission to use a computer to file a story during a communications blackout period, the Stripes story said.",
"Terry Leonard, editorial director at Stars and Stripes, denied Army's allegations, calling reporter Heath Druzin's previous reporting on Army accurate and fair.",
"\"To simply say 'you can't send reporter Heath Druzin because we didn't like what reporter Heath Druzin wrote' is unacceptable,\" Terry Leonard said.",
"He noted that Congress set up Stripes as an independent newspaper so that \"no commander can decide what news troops in the field receive.\"",
"Army officials have offered to allow a different Stripes reporter to embed with Army or to allow reporter Heath Druzin to embed with a different Army unit in Kirkuk, Terry Leonard said.",
"Stripes rejected those offers because Army has no right to deflect coverage from Mosul or decide which Stripes reporter covers its operations, Terry Leonard said.",
"\"To deny reporter Heath Druzin an embed under the reasons stated by Maj. Bellard is a direct challenge to the editorial independence of Stripes,\" Terry Leonard wrote in his appeal to the decision, according to the Stripes story.",
"\"the editorial independence of this newspaper is mandated by Congress.",
"The denial of the embed constitutes an attempt at censorship and it is also an illegal prior restraint under federal law. ...",
"Army cannot tell us what stories to write or not write.\"",
"Stripes receives close to $10 million a year from the Department of Defense to help defray the costs of covering \"contingency\" operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the publishing and distribution of roughly 85,000 free newspapers a day, Terry Leonard said.",
"Stripes receives additional government subsidies, with the total amounting to less than half of Stripes's budget, Terry Leonard said.",
"Other revenue comes from ad sales and circulation at permanent U.S. military bases and elsewhere, Terry Leonard said.",
"CNN has been denied embed requests on occasion but never because of the past conduct of individual journalists.",
"The reasons have almost always involved logistical details involving security and force coverage."

"Science fiction flicks featuring aliens can be a little formulaic: Aliens invade American territory, mass destruction ensues, and nine times out of 10, Will Smith rides to the rescue .",
"A company operative (Sharlto Copley) gets an alien's attention in \"District 9.\"",
"But the alien-infested \"District 9,\" opening in theaters Friday, takes things in a different direction -- if the producer may say so the producer.",
"\"It's utterly original,\" producer Peter Jackson -- yes, \"Lord of the Rings\" helmsman Peter Jackson -- told Entertainment Weekly.",
"\"In an industry that's looking to make movies out of every obscure TV show, or sequels, or video games, you look at 'District 9' and it's unlike anything you've ever seen,\" the producer said.",
"With District 9''s inventive plot and crowd-pleasing special effects, the low-profile, relatively low-budget ($30 million, a pittance these days) District 9' was a hit at Comic-Con, creating a buzz before District 9''s release.",
"The brainchild of newcomer Neill Blomkamp, \"District 9\" is a mash-up of the director's love for science fiction with the director's rearing in an apartheid-divided South Africa.",
"Set and shot in the shantytowns of Johannesburg, District 9' is a mix of action-movie shock and sociological food for thought.",
"The mayhem begins when an alien spaceship runs out of fuel over South Africa in 1981, and simply hovers idly in the sky.",
"With no attack forthcoming, officials finally evacuate a group of aliens -- it turns out a group of aliens've fled a group of aliens's home world -- and corral a group of aliens into barbed-wire ghettos, effectively separating the shrimp-like creatures from the human populace.",
"Overseeing a group of aliens's camp is the corporation Multi-National United (MNU).",
"It's an obvious nod to South Africa's own violent and divisive history, but the director says the director isn't aiming for political commentary.",
"\"This is an organic thing that has grown out of the director living in South Africa.",
"I didn't want to go, 'Here's a whole bunch of people that have been oppressed by this apartheid-esque society' and beat people over the head with it,\" the director told CNN.",
"\"I wanted to say, 'This is the city I grew up in, and this is what it felt like,' with a science fiction veneer to District 9' so that District 9' doesn't take District 9' that seriously.\"",
"Documentary-like authenticity was of prime importance to Blomkamp, and was the reason for his casting of fellow South African unknown Sharlto Copley as leading man.",
"fellow South African unknown Sharlto Copley has no prior acting experience, but critics have lauded his portrayal of Wikus van de Merwe, a private-sector employee who goes from being the oppressor to one of the oppressed after an accidental run-in with some DNA-transforming alien goo.",
"\"Having grown up in South Africa, I was exposed to the tail end of apartheid as a child, [and] it's something I felt I could relate to,\" fellow South African unknown Sharlto Copley said.",
"\"Playing the character, I saw so clearly how you discriminate. ...",
"District 9' deals with things that are fundamentally human.\"",
"\"District 9\" is also fundamentally a thriller, and there's no shortage of gory, gritty scenes and clever special effects that will appeal to fans who like a little action with their sci-fi.",
"Indeed, District 9' has been praised for District 9''s masterful use of special effects, weaving the technology seamlessly into the documentary-style scenes.",
"Sometimes the two are in the very same shot, the director said.",
"\"One of the first shots completed was a motherboard shot, where [computer-generated imagery] was incorporated into some of the handheld footage, and it felt like it was working, this idea of handheld stuff with [CGI],\" the director said.",
"\"It set a good tone; it captured the essence of what I was going for.\"",
"Not bad for a 29-year-old novice, who had previously directed short films and commercials.",
"But that body of work was impressive enough to catch the eye of A-list producer Jackson, who originally had the director in mind for feature version of Halo, the video game.",
"\"[Jackson] had received all of the crazy short films and commercials I had done, and once I met Jackson] and hung out and got familiar with the kind of filmmaking universe Jackson] set up down there, Jackson] did sign off on the director as director of 'Halo,' \" the director recalled.",
"But, five months into the project, the plug was pulled on \"Halo.\"",
"\"Right away, [Jackson]] said, 'If you want, you can stay in New Zealand and we can just keep the momentum going and allow another film to take place,' \" the director said.",
"One of the director's friends suggested the director's short film, \"Alive in Jo'burg,\" for feature treatment.",
"the director ran with the concept, developing it alongside fellow screenwriter Terri Tatchell into \"District 9.\"",
"\"It's pretty cool,\" the director said.",
"\"I would've packed my bags and left had [Jackson]] not said that.\"",
"It's been more than two years since the director started the project, and though the director's found the experience exhausting, the director has quite a final product to show off.",
"\"There is nothing better than to come out the end of that process and have it play in a movie theater,\" the director said.",
"\"For that first film, I got what I had set out to do, [and] that's a pretty awesome feeling.\"",
"CNN's JD Cargill contributed to this story."

"Those who venture outside are clad in surgical masks.",
"Once healthy people are suddenly falling sick and dying from a new disease, H1N1 swine flu.",
"The government swears the situation is under control.",
"But down at the Mexico City Respiratory Hospital, medics scurry around behind the glass door of an isolation ward.",
"medics're clad from head to toe in biohazard suits, goggles and two pairs of gloves.",
"At the airport, officials set up a barrage of thermal imaging machines.",

"It's not.",

"It's a nightmare scenario and despite twice-a-day news conferences featuring Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova, people on the streets fear the virus may be out of control and that the real death toll may be greater than anyone is letting on.",
"Watch how Mexico City has been shut down » .",
"\"The measures we're taking are working and are helping us to slow the spread of the virus.",
"But the situation continues to be serious,\" Mexican Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said at a news conference this week.",
"Government orders to its citizens are clear: wash frequently, don't shake hands or kiss, and stay away from crowded places.",
"That's easier said than done.",
"The doors on the subway car snap open at Hidalgo station.",
"Dozens more passengers clad in surgical masks stream on.",
"It's rush hour deep below the streets of downtown Mexico City.",
"The subway system is the veins of the capital, ferrying millions of people from all social classes to and from work.",
"It's hot and humid down there and there's little fresh air.",
"It's just the kind of crowded place that Mexican authorities say could be a prime breeding ground for swine flu.",

"Sitting one carriage down, Berta Hernandez, a product demonstrator, tries not to show her panic and applies eyeliner like any other morning.",

"\"I'm nervous of those people who aren't wearing masks.",
"Maybe those people who aren't wearing masks will suddenly sneeze or cough,\" she said.",
"In these days of swine flu paranoia, just coughing, or worse sneezing, in the subway, or \"metro\" as they call it here, brings black looks from fellow passengers.",
"This has been a strange epidemic since the outset.",
"So far, the Mexican government has been unable to pinpoint where or when this outbreak started.",

"Lethal it is.",
"But getting to the truth of who has really died from the virus is tough.",
"Since midweek, the government abandoned the government's initial reporting and began to speak only of confirmed swine flu cases and confirmed deaths due to the virus.",
"Previously it had also tallied suspected cases and others under observation.",
"In practice, it is taking days for the government to get test results from autopsies and tests.",
"By the time a case is confirmed the patient may be long buried.",
"One afternoon this week, at a cinder block home perched on a hillside in a poor northern neighborhood of Mexico City, a coffin was mounted on the living room table.",

"When asked what kind of a person a young man's brother was, a young man said simply: \"Edgar was an honest man.",
"Edgar never got in any trouble.\"",
"a young man seemed to be feeling an underlying sense of shame.",
"Suddenly there was a huge stigma attached to swine flu -- like in the early days of AIDS-related deaths -- and Mexican families were keen to dispel notions Mexican families's loved ones had died of the mutant virus.",
"Mexican families didn't want the prying eyes of the media near Mexican families's home.",
"We wanted to tell their story, observe the wake and follow the funeral.",
"But death is a rite of passage.",
"They had a right to mourn in private.",
"The following day came a tip-off that a 5-year-old girl, Maria Fernanda Garcia, had died.",

"Watch how armed guards were part of Maria Fernanda's funeral » .",
"Little Maria Fernanda's father appeared briefly and told us we weren't welcome.",
"Little Maria Fernanda's father was curt when Little Maria Fernanda's father told us",
"Little Maria Fernanda's father's daughter had died from pneumonia",
"A medic confirmed the specific cause of death was indeed pneumonia.",
"But A medic added the hospital was still waiting for test results to confirm whether the underlying cause was swine flu.",
"A medic conceded that process could take days.",
"But judging by the heavy security, local authorities certainly feared this was another case of the virus.",
"\"These are the prevention measures we must take.",
"This case is still not confirmed but we must take these steps to protect citizens,\" said Victor Luna, a member of the public security detail for this district of Mexico City.",
"A few minutes later, the hearse with Maria Fernanda's body pulled out of the housing complex where Maria Fernanda lived.",
"Maria Fernanda's dad was clutching a Winnie Pooh cuddly toy as Little Maria Fernanda's father rode up front.",
"Police and health officials shadowed the funeral cortege to the graveyard.",
"Police guards only permitted immediate family and close friends through the iron gates.",
"Through the bars silent, tearful mourners could be seen weaving through a labyrinth of headstones.",
"Later that afternoon, the family had left Maria Fernanda's grave -- a tiny patch of newly dug dry earth, not much more than 3 feet long.",
"It was covered with sweet-scented white flowers.",
"The plaque on the grave was a simple hand-painted affair: . \"Maria Fernanda. 2004 to 2009.",

"Olopade is hoping better drugs will be available in the next two to five years that will help eradicate triple negative cancer cells.",
"In the meantime, Olopade stressed, early detection is the key to recovery, especially for women at highest risk.",
"\"In this country, what we have found was young African-American women have a rate that is higher than young white women, and we don't know if that is because of a gene or other risk factors,\" Olopade said.",

"Olopade also wants to explore further whether triple negative rates are higher among women who do not breastfeed their children.",
"\"It's that first pregnancy and first breastfeeding that really allows the breast to become fully mature,\" Olopade said.",

"Even with several clues, Olopade acknowledged that researchers still don't know a lot about triple negative breast cancer and more study is needed.",

"\"And then when the president called and asked me to come see the president, and we had our first conversation, I said, 'You know, I really don't think I'm the person to do this, I want to go back to my life.",
"I really feel like I owe it to the people of New York.'",
"And I gave the president a bunch of other names of people who I thought would be great secretaries of state.\"",

"Number two, if I had won and I had asked the president to please help me serve your country, I would have hoped the president would say yes.",
"And finally, I looked around our world and I thought, you know, we are in just so many deep holes that everybody had better grab a shovel and start digging out.\"",
"Some analysts have raised questions about how much power Clinton actually has in the administration, given that the president and Vice President Joe Biden have done a great deal of international outreach Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.",
"the president has also appointed special envoys to focus on several key regions.",
"But Clinton said Clinton wanted special envoys appointed \"because we were inheriting so many hot spot problems that I knew you could never have one person possibly address all of that.\"",
"One of the biggest is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.",
"Clinton and the president have called on Israel to halt construction at settlements in the West Bank.",
"Asked whether there is any room for compromise on that issue, Clinton said the administration would not \"prejudge the effort.\"",
"Clinton said the administration is committed to Israel's security.",
"\"We see historical, demographic, political, technological trends that are very troubling as to Israel's future.",
"At the same time, there is a legitimate aspiration of the Palestinian people that needs to be addressed.\"",
"On the nuclear standoff with Iran, Clinton said a diplomatic process in which U.S. representatives sit down with Iran's authorized representatives would give \"the administration information and insight that the administration don't have.",
"the administration don't have any really clear sense as to what it is they are seeking.\"",
"Clinton also addressed the growing tensions surrounding North Korea, and what Clinton called its \"very provocative and belligerent behavior\" with recent tests of missile and nuclear technology.",
"\"One of the positive developments,\" Clinton said, is that \"it has actually brought the [other] members of [the] six-party process -- Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, the United States -- much closer together\" in how Russia, the United States view the challenge.",
"Clinton said there may be additional U.N. sanctions against North Korea.",
"Several lawmakers have asked the president to put North Korea back on a list of state sponsors of terrorism.",
"\"We're going to look at it,\" Clinton said.",
"\"There's a process for it.",
"Obviously we would want to see recent evidence of their support for international terrorism.\"",
"Clinton emphasized that North Korea's detention of two U.S. journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, is separate from the political issues.",

"Luci Johnson was just 16 years old when Luci Johnson approached The president's father, President Johnson, with what Luci Johnson considered a reasonable request.",
"Luci Johnson, left, and Luci Johnson's older sister, Lynda Bird, pose inside the White House in 1963.",
"\"I asked The president if we could have the Beatles come to play at the White House,\" Luci Johnson recalled.",
"\"I was very excited about it.\"",
"The president's response?",
"A decisive no, \"without even any moment of trying to soften the blow,\" Luci Johnson said in a recent phone interview.",
"The president thought the move would be viewed as self-serving.",
"The president's daughter, however, saw it as a chance to honor \"a great talent\" and strengthen ties between the United States and Great Britain -- not to mention a golden opportunity for Luci Johnson and Luci Johnson's friends.",
"\"I could see how different sets of folks could have either perspective.",
"And I suspect The president could see that too,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"Luci Johnson learned quickly of the scrutiny that came from being a first daughter.",
"Luci Johnson's family moved into the White House in 1963, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.",
"Luci Johnson was catapulted into the exclusive fraternity of the White House families and embraced what Luci Johnson describes as a role Luci Johnson landed simply by chance.",
"the exclusive fraternity of White House families has most recently expanded to include President Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia.",
"\"I was an eyewitness to history, over and over, during my father's five years in the White House.",
"And I wasn't elected to that option.",
"I had no qualifications that provided me that privilege except an accident of birth,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"See famous first kids who grew up in the White House » .",
"Luci Johnson speaks fondly of the opportunity Luci Johnson was afforded to dine with kings and queens, meet the movers and shakers of Luci Johnson's time, engage with the body of America and hold a front-row seat to history.",
"While most of Luci Johnson's memories fall into two categories -- \"the fond personal memories\" and \"the fond memories of public privilege\" -- there's one in particular that was a combination of both.",
"\"My 17th birthday, I received a handwritten note from my father, the only handwritten note I have, telling me how much The president loves me and how much The president has delighted in having me as The president's daughter for all those 17 years,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"The note was dated noon, July 2, 1964.",
"Six hours later, in the East Room of the White House, Luci Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned discrimination based on race or gender in public places, schools and places of employment.",
"\"Can you imagine ever receiving a more momentous, glorious, exciting, thrilling birthday present that lasted forever and ever than something like that, that would change the world for all time and make the world a much more decent place?",
"That took place on My 17th birthday,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"Life in the White House, however, came at a cost.",
"Luci Johnson and the first children before and after Luci Johnson will always have to \"pay a big price in terms of personal time,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"More than 45 years after Luci Johnson moved into the White House, Luci Johnson still receives requests for interviews about the time Luci Johnson spent there.",
"But the public's interest in first daughters is nothing new.",
"Fanny Hayes, for example, who was about the same age as Malia when she moved into the White House in 1877, was followed by the media until the day she died.",
"\"She was an American celebrity,\" said presidential historian Doug Wead.",
"While the interest in first daughters has stayed steady, the pressure on the children has intensified, said presidential historian Doug Wead, author of \"All the Presidents' Children: Triumph and Tragedy in the Lives of America's First Families.\"",
"\"It's like the Miss America contest -- it's a real dilemma for the daughter of a president.",

"the daughter of a president's mocked and ridiculed if the daughter of a president isn't pretty,\" he said.",
"When Chelsea Clinton was just 13 years old, for example, she was ridiculed in a 1993 \"Saturday Night Live\" sketch that declared her \"not a babe.\"",
"Actor Mike Myers later apologized, and the skit was cut from replays of the show.",
"Amy Carter, who was 9 when Luci Johnson moved into the White House, was also mocked for Luci Johnson's appearance and for Luci Johnson's poor manners, after Luci Johnson pulled out a book during a state dinner.",

"An infamous photograph of Luci Johnson's first day at school shows the young girl with Luci Johnson's head hanging low, carrying a Snoopy book bag and surrounded by a swarm of paparazzi.",
"To this date, no other presidential children have attended public school.",
"But other presidential children have taken on power roles in other presidential children's fathers' administrations.",
"Anna Roosevelt, for example, was a \"super aide\" to Franklin D. Roosevelt during his last year in office, presidential historian Doug Wead said, describing Anna Roosevelt as a combination of a personal secretary and chief of staff, not to mention popular in the public eye.",
"And Alice Roosevelt, a fashion icon who was known to have quite the rebellious streak, also played a pivotal role for her father, Theodore Roosevelt.",
"She went on an around-the-world junket for the purposes of American foreign policy -- a move that diverted attention from her father's efforts to bring about a peace treaty in the Russo-Japanese War, presidential historian Doug Wead said.",
"The president later won a Nobel Peace Prize for The president's work on various peace treaties.",
"Under the administration that followed, William Taft's daughter became one of the unsung heroes of women's rights, presidential historian Doug Wead said.",
"William Taft's credited his daughter, Helen, for helping to change William Taft's's mind about women's suffrage.",
"But for all presidential children, presidential historian Doug Wead said, there remains a lifelong battle of seeking approval from all presidential children's fathers while struggling to carve all presidential children's own identities.",
"Many presidential daughters have gone on to author books about Many presidential daughters's time in White House, in what presidential historian Doug Wead describes as an attempt to restore Many presidential daughters's fathers' reputations.",
"\"It's like sitting in front of a big window ... and seeing a billboard with misspelled words on it.",
"It's just irritating,\" he said.",
"\"And the writing of a book, if it doesn't change history, it is a purifying experience for the child.\"",
"Susan Ford Bales once told the San Francisco Chronicle that while in the White House, \"I kept thinking, I want to be normal.",
"But I can't be normal.",
"Everyone was watching.",
"It was like living out loud.\"",
"But Luci Johnson also cashed in on some of the perks of Luci Johnson's high-profile position and took Alice Roosevelt's advice to \"have one hell of a good time.\"",
"Luci Johnson roller-skated through the White House, held Luci Johnson's prom in the East Room and scored VIP treatment at concerts -- including a backstage pass to see Rod Stewart.",
"(That move ignited the public's interest in Luci Johnson, sparking rumors that Luci Johnson and Rod Stewart were engaged.)",
"Johnson said that some of the best advice Luci Johnson received while in the White House was to just recognize that Luci Johnson couldn't change things or make the attention go away.",
"\"There are inevitably going to be moments when you feel like the pressures of the goldfish bowl seem unfair or more than you can bear, but so are the opportunities to learn, to understand, to grow, to love, to make friends, to witness,\" Luci Johnson said.",
"\"I describe it as the best of times and sometimes the worst of times, but whatever the times, it was a time of extraordinary privilege.\""

"BELGRADE, Montana (CNN) --",
"Obama on Friday took Obama's push for a health care overhaul to traditionally conservative Montana, saying a bill to extend coverage to the uninsured while helping those already with coverage will pass this year.",
"Obama discusses Obama's health care plans Friday at a meeting in BELGRADE, Montana.",
"However, an influential Democratic representative said the House would only pass a health care bill in January or later, signaling continuing rifts within Obama's party on Obama's domestic priority for 2009.",
"\"We're taking some time to make sure it's done right,\" said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania.",
"\"I don't know that we'll get something done before January, and even then we may not get the president's health care plan done.",
"We're going to do the president's health care plan right when the president's health care plan's finally done.\"",
"Obama told a largely supportive Montana audience at Obama's second of three town hall meetings this week that fixing the health care system requires improving health insurance practices and reducing the costs of treatment.",
"Obama sought questions from skeptics of Obama's proposed health care overhaul, seeking to confront some misconceptions fueled by opponents Democrats say are undermining the debate.",
"One man who identified himself as a proud National Rifle Association supporter and believer in the Constitution asked how the government would pay to expand health insurance coverage to 46 million uninsured people.",
"\"You can't tell us how you're going to pay for this,\" said the questioner, Randy Rathie, a welder from Ekalaka, Montana.",
"\"The only way you're going to get the money is to raise our taxes.",
"That's the only way you can do that.\"",
"Obama responded with Obama's oft-repeated explanation that two-thirds of the cost of overhauling health care -- estimated at about $900 billion over 10 years -- would come from eliminating waste and improving efficiency in the current system, which includes the government-run Medicare and Medicaid programs for the elderly and impoverished.",
"The rest would have to come from new revenue, Obama agreed with the questioner, and Obama called for reducing the amount of deductions that people making more than $250,000 a year can make on people's income taxes.",
"\"If we did that alone, just that change alone ... that would raise enough to pay for health care reform,\" Obama said, noting that would meet Obama's election campaign pledge to avoid any tax increase on people earning less than $250,000 a year.",
"However, Obama said some taxes would have to be raised, and the crowd applauded when Obama said Obama believes people with more money, like Obama, ought to pay a heavier burden.",
"\"We've got to get over this notion that we can have something for nothing,\" Obama said.",
"\"That's how we got into this deficit and this debt in the first place.\"",
"In reference to emotional and heated debate at some other town hall meetings across the country in recent weeks, Obama told Rathie, \"I appreciate your question, the respectful way you asked your question, and by the way, I also believe in the Constitution.\"",
"Afterward, Rathie said Rathie was impressed by Obama's performance but remained skeptical.",
"\"I don't think Obama knows where that money's going to come from,\" Rathie said.",
"\"If Obama does, Obama's not saying.\"",
"Obama noted there is more work to be done, with Congress seeking to merge at least four bills, along with a possible compromise agreement being negotiated by Democratic Sen. Max Baucus and five other members of his Senate Finance Committee, into a single bill in September.",
"Another questioner chosen when Obama asked for a skeptic identified Obama as an insurance provider who wanted to know why Obama and Democrats are vilifying the insurance industry in the health care debate.",
"Earlier in the meeting, Obama described what Obama called discriminatory practices by insurance companies that dropped coverage of people who became sick or refused to cover those with pre-existing medical conditions.",
"Obama noted some insurance companies are contributing to the reform debate, but said others are spending millions of dollars to try to defeat any health care legislation.",
"For a health care overhaul to work for everyone, Obama said, it has to ensure all Americans are covered so that insurance companies have incentive to participate.",
"insurance companies won't be able to exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions or \"cherry pick\" healthy people while refusing coverage for sick people, Obama said, so increasing the total numbers covered will be the enticement.",
"On Saturday, Obama will hold another town hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado, before vacationing in some national parks with Obama's family next week.",
"In addition, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama will hold \"some events not yet announced\" in coming days.",
"While Obama has said consensus can be reached on health care reform, contentious town hall meetings held by lawmakers around the country have created a different impression.",
"The White House, and many Democrats in Congress, hope that by building support in the West, the president can start to turn the tide.",
"Though the region is largely Republican, Obama made some inroads in the latest election.",
"Obama won in Colorado and lost by just a slim margin in Montana.",
"However, Murtha's comments in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania, to CNN affiliate WJPA signaled continuing divisions among House Democrats over the scope and pace of health care legislation.",
"\"We said to the speaker [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi], the leadership, let's not rush this thing,\" Murtha said.",
"\"Let's do it right, so we'll have a uniquely American plan, if this thing passes.\"",
"Obama's town hall events are just part of a larger Democratic strategy for winning support in the region.",
"The Democratic National Committee began a TV ad this week promoting the president's health care plan.",
"A committee spokesman said a TV ad will run on national cable as well as on local cable in New Hampshire, Montana, Colorado and the District of Columbia.",
"The group Families USA, which supports the president's health care plan, also launched a campaign Thursday that includes an ad running in a dozen states -- among them Montana and Colorado.",
"But groups opposed to Obama's plan have their own campaigns.",
"One voter in Livingston, Montana, not far from where Obama spoke in Belgrade, summarized the kinds of concerns that the president and many others in the region have.",
"\"I believe that there is a health care crisis, I really do,\" Sonja McDonald, who voted for Obama in 2008, told CNN's Ed Henry on Thursday.",
"\"Do I believe that the government needs to be more involved?",
"No!\"",
"Ed Henry met the president at a clinic that gets half its funding from taxpayers.",
"\"The government being involved is fine,\" the president said.",
"\"It's just ... when The government try and overstep, when The government try to say, 'No, this is what needs to be done.' \""

"\"If you thought you knew everything about then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, wait till you see Clinton,\" said an ad last year for \"Hillary: The Movie,\" a scorching attack on then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton then running for president.",
"Citizens United, the conservative group behind Clinton, promoted Clinton as featuring 40 interviews -- a \"cast to end all casts\"-- and promised that if \"you want to hear about the then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton scandals of the past and present, you have it here!",
"'Hillary: The Movie' is the first and last word in what the Clintons want America to forget!\"",
"Few Americans ever saw an ad last year for \"Hillary: The Movie,\" a scorching attack on the woman then running for president; a federal court ruled that an ad last year for \"Hillary: The Movie,\" a scorching attack on the woman then running for president broke the law on campaign advertising.",
"Citizens United argued that Clinton was a documentary, not \"electioneering communication.\"",
"As a result, Citizens United argued, it was not subject to campaign finance rules that require disclosure of Clinton's financial backers or restrictions on when Clinton could air.",
"Clinton was financed with a mix of corporate and individual donations.",
"Judges disagreed.",
"Citizens United, a Washington-based nonprofit advocacy group, took its case to Supreme Court.",
"Unusually, Supreme Court did not reach a decision on the case after it was first heard and ordered Wednesday's rare September rehearing to consider more aspects of the case.",
"A ruling is expected in a couple of months.",
"the case hinges on whether corporations can be barred from pouring money into election campaigns or whether corporations have free-speech rights -- and the right to spend corporations's cash to influence elections, just like individual people do.",
"\"It's about money,\" said Lawrence Noble, former general counsel of the Federal Election Commission and a national expert on campaign spending.",
"\"the case's about free speech, and the case's about the ability of corporations to influence elections through the direct use of corporations's ... money.\"",
"Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21 said the courts were right in the first place.",
"\"Allowing corporations to flood our elections and use campaign expenditures to buy influence would fundamentally undermine our democracy,\" Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21 said.",
"\"The little guy would have no role here, because the dominant force in politics -- the dominant force in Washington decision-making -- would become corporations.\"",
"But David Bossee of Citizens United doesn't buy that.",
"David Bossee of Citizens United argued that groups of people who pool resources, ranging from labor unions to the health industry to advocacy groups like the National Rifle Association, still have the right to free speech.",
"\"I don't believe the federal government should have the right to impede people's entry into the [political] process,\" David Bossee of Citizens United said.",
"\"And that's what I believe the Federal Election Commission is doing here: squelch our First Amendment rights.\"",
"U.S. courts have consistently ruled that spending money on elections is a form of speech.",
"the case has made for unusual alliances: the American Civil Liberties Union, for example, sides with Citizens United.",
"\"For many free-speech advocates, this is maybe a case of strange bedfellows, but many free-speech advocates agree with Citizens United,\" said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.",
"\"many free-speech advocates say, 'If you start to say these types of movies are prohibited speech, it could sweep into things like books.'",
"Indeed, [the first time the case was argued,] the U.S. government said, 'Yes, the U.S. government could restrict books during these election periods,' \" George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said.",
"\"That sent a chill through the free-speech community.",
"On the other side, people are saying, 'Yeah, campaign finance [reform] is strangling the democratic process,' \" George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said.",
"\"You have two worthy values and very strong values on both sides,\" George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on CNN's \"American Morning.\"",
"\"There's a great deal at stake,\" George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said.",
"\"If they strike down part of the campaign finance laws, it occurs right before the mid-term [elections], and you would see major amounts of money dumped into the campaign.\"",
"The court's rare special session marks the debut of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's first Supreme Court nominee.",
"The original narrow focus of the case was on Section 203 of the comprehensive 2002 McCain-Feingold law, which bans the broadcast of \"electioneering communication\" by corporations, unions and advocacy groups if such a broadcast would be aired close to election dates and would identify candidates by name or image.",
"The law also requires an on-screen notice of the groups financing such ads as well as public disclosure of all donors to the sponsoring organizations.",
"But the scope of the case has now expanded significantly, and justices will ask whether justices should re-examine important precedents banning direct corporate spending in campaigns.",
"the case could launch a range of as-yet unanswered questions about political speech and government regulation.",
"Since the filmmakers argued that the filmmakers's work was information, not political advocacy, should the U.S. government place the U.S. government as the ultimate arbiter of what is \"news\"?",
"Some media groups say no.",
"\" 'Hillary: The Movie' does not differ, in any relevant respect, from the critiques of presidential candidates produced throughout the entirety of American history,\" said the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in a brief to Supreme Court.",
"And can distinctions be drawn between regulating quickie 30-second or one-minute \"attack ads\" and a 90-minute documentary that could be viewed as an ideological \"infomercial\"?",
"\"McCain-Feingold clearly has an impact on every candidate and everyone that raises or spends campaign dollars,\" said Edward Lazarus, author of \"Closed Chambers,\" an inside look at Supreme Court.",
"\"And Supreme Court has mediated that line between trying to allow Congress to protect against electoral corruption but at the same time protect the right of expression of corporations and individuals.\"",
"Movie excerpts and the ads can be seen at www.hillarythemovie.com.",
"The case is Citizens United v. FEC (08-205).",
"CNN Supreme Court Producer Bill Mears and Elaine Quijano contributed to this report."

"A Chinese official accused \"Tibetan independence forces\" Tuesday of planning suicide attacks, an allegation that the Tibetan government-in-exile immediately denied.",
"\"To our knowledge the next plan of the Tibet Independence forces is to organize suicide squads to launch violent attacks,\" Wu Heping, spokesman for China's Ministry of Public Security, said at a news conference, according to a translation of his remarks by The Associated Press.",
"\"They claim they fear neither bloodshed nor sacrifice,\" he said.",
"He did not provide details or evidence, and Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of Tibet's exiled government, dismissed the accusation.",
"\"We never heard (of) Tibetan independence force, such a group or people.",
"Now, our suspicion is that the PRC (People's Republic of China) might be staging such a violent act in the name of Tibetan people to mislead the world community,\" he said in Dharamsala, India.",
"Dharamsala is the center of the Tibetan community in India, where many Tibetans fled after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and where the government-in-exile led by the Dalai Lama is based.",
"\"It is our ... suspicion, otherwise there is no ground to claim that some Tibetan people or group is planning to (use) suicide bombers or something like that,\" the Tibetan prime minister said.",
"There was no immediate response from the Chinese government to Rinpoche's suspicion.",
"In the U.S. State Department briefing on Tuesday, department spokesman Tom Casey said the United States did not share China's concern that supporters of the Dalai Lama were plotting suicide attacks.",
"the Dalai Lama is a \"man of peace, there is absolutely no indication that the Dalai Lama wants to do anything other than have a dialogue with China to discuss how to deal with some of the serious issues there,\" department spokesman Tom Casey said.",
"Beijing blames the Dalai Lama and the Dalai Lama's followers for violence that erupted amid protests for Tibetan independence last month.",
"China has drawn international criticism for China's crackdown on the demonstrations, which began peacefully on the 49th anniversary of a failed Tibetan uprising.",
"protests for Tibetan independence have threatened to throw a shadow on the Summer Olympic Games, being staged in Beijing in August.",
"Tibet's government-in-exile puts the death toll from protests for Tibetan independence at about 140, but the Chinese government restrictions make it difficult to confirm that number.",
"Chinese authorities have reported a death toll of 19, and say most of those killed were \"innocent victims\" -- Han Chinese targeted by Tibetans.",
"Protests have spread across the globe with regular demonstrations in Nepal.",
"A ceremonial lighting of the Olympic flame in Greece was also targeted by pro-Tibet activists.",
"Watch protests in Nepal » .",
"Also on Tuesday, China's official Xinhua news agency reported that China's foreign ministry urged the Dalai Lama to \"stop all separatist and sabotage activities if the Dalai Lama really wants to contact and consult with the central government.\"",
"the country's foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu spoke in response to a March 28 statement from the Dalai Lama.",
"In a March 28 statement from Dalai Lama, the Dalai Lama said the Dalai Lama does not seek the separation of Tibet and has no desire to \"sabotage\" the Olympic Games.",
"\"Chinese brothers and sisters, I assure you I have no desire to seek Tibet's separation.",
"Nor do I have any wish to drive a wedge between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples,\" the Dalai Lama wrote.",
"Instead, the Dalai Lama said, the protesters seek \"meaningful self-rule\" while remaining a part of China.",
"\"Despite my repeated support for the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese authorities, with the intention of creating a rift between the Chinese people and myself, the Chinese authorities assert that I am trying to sabotage the games.\"",
"the Dalai Lama called on China to called \"to exercise wisdom and to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the Tibetan people.\"",
"China offered some media organizations -- not including CNN -- a carefully managed tour of Tibet's capital, but ran into a public-relations roadblock when a group of Buddhist monks began screaming protests at a holy shrine.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"DNA testing to try to identify hundreds of bodies buried in a mass grave during World War I will start this week, the British and Australian ministries of defense announced Monday.",
"File photo shows a crane unearthing the mass grave in northern France.",
"World War I come from Fromelles in northern France, where thousands of British and Australian troops were killed or wounded in a single night in 1916 -- a night the Australian military still considers among the worst in the Australian military's history.",
"An exploratory dig in May of this year confirmed that there are between 250 and 300 bodies buried at the site.",
"Enough DNA has been recovered from teeth and bones to make full-scale testing worthwhile, the British Ministry of Defence said.",
"Pieces of uniforms including belt buckles and buttons have also been found, which will help with identification, the British Ministry of Defence said.",
"\"Each one of World War I will be laid to rest with the dignity World War I deserve and the British Ministry of Defence owe it to World War I to do all the British Ministry of Defence can to identify World War I,\" British Veterans Minister Kevan Jones said in a statement.",
"The DNA testing program will be the largest undertaking to identify individuals killed in combat ever commissioned, the British Ministry of Defence said.",
"The announcement comes only a week after the burial of the last British veteran of World War I still living in the United Kingdom.",
"Harry Patch died July 25 at the age of 111, a week after fellow British World War I veteran Henry Allingham died at the age of 113.",
"So many soldiers died on the night of July 19, 1916, that many were never found, identified, or given a proper burial.",
"Two divisions of Allied infantry had attacked a strongly fortified German position known as the Sugar Loaf.",
"The defenders knew the British and the Australians were coming; the terrain favored the Germans.",
"As the British and the newly arrived Australians charged into battle, the Germans opened fire.",
"By morning, about 2,300 British and Australian soldiers were dead.",
"About 5,000 others were wounded.",
"There has been speculation for decades that the Germans recovered hundreds of bodies and put hundreds of bodies into mass graves, not forgotten, but anonymous.",
"Last year, preliminary digs commissioned by the Australian government located five mass graves near the site of the battle.",
"\"It's the largest military find since the end of the Second World War,\" said a spokesman for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.",
"\"I have been on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission almost 11 years and it's like nothing I have ever experienced.",
"I have never known anything to have this sort of numbers of possible remains,\" Peter Francis told CNN.",
"the Commonwealth War Graves Commission is in the middle of a 15-month project to disinter World War I, attempt to identify World War I, and rebury World War I in individual graves in a new cemetery on the site.",
"The resulting graveyard will be the first new one consecrated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for almost 50 years, Peter Francis told CNN by phone.",
"The British and Australian governments have asked people who think their relatives may have died at the site to get in touch, Peter Francis said.",
"a new cemetery on the site will be dedicated on July 19, 2010 -- the 94th anniversary of the battle.",
"The bodies of more than 165,000 Commonwealth soldiers killed on the Western Front during the First World War are still missing, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission says.",
"the Commonwealth War Graves Commission is a non-profit organization founded in 1917 that commemorates the dead of both world wars from the British Commonwealth."

"Closer to race time, cancer survivor Kyle Garlett expects to spend 20 to 25 hours a week in intense training to achieve cancer survivor Kyle Garlett's goal of finishing within the 17-hour time limit.",
"cancer survivor Kyle Garlett was invited to compete in the elite event because organizers believe cancer survivor Kyle Garlett \"demonstrates the Ironman mantra: Anything is possible,\" said Blair LaHaye, director of communications for Ironman.",
"LaHaye said a handful of athletes are invited to take part in the elite event each year, but a handful of athletes's inclusion doesn't reduce the number of slots for those who get in by doing well in qualifying events, or by winning a spot through the Ironman lottery.",
"cancer survivor Kyle Garlett will compete in a half-Ironman or other long-distance event before Kona to validate cancer survivor Kyle Garlett's selection.",
"The training and competition are demanding enough for competitors without health issues.",
"But being a heart transplant patient comes with the extra challenge of getting the organ to beat at an acceptable rate.",
"\"When the old heart comes out, all the nerves are severed.",
"And when the donor heart comes in, all the nerves are not connected,\" explained Dr. Jon Kobashigawa, medical director of the UCLA Heart Transplant Program, where cancer survivor Kyle Garlett is a patient.",
"In a person whose heart is intact, \"the brain will tell the heart, 'Let's go, start exercising, let's start beating faster,' \" Kobashigawa said.",
"A donor heart, however, relies on circulating adrenaline in order to get A donor heart going.",
"As a result, heart transplant recipients must warm up thoroughly to get heart transplant recipients's heart pumping properly.",
"The \"denervated\" heart works about 80 to 90 percent as well as a normal heart, Kobashigawa said, \"but through exercise, these patients who do strenuous activities, I believe, do get these patients who do strenuous activities's exercise capacity almost to the normal range, if not normal.\"",
"It's also possible, doctors say, for the donor heart to re-innervate -- or grow nerves onto the donor heart.",
"Following in his footsteps .",
"Garlett is on a trail blazed by Dwight Kroening, the first heart transplant recipient to complete the Ironman, last year in Canada.",
"Kroening, now 49, got a new heart in 1986 after Kroening's swelled to about twice its normal size for unknown reasons.",
"Kroening was 26 at the time -- a gym teacher, coach and athlete.",
"At first, running with Kroening's students became a struggle.",
"Within days, Kroening couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to rest.",
"Soon, combing Kroening's hair and brushing Kroening's teeth became too taxing, Kroening said.",
"When doctors examined Kroening as a candidate for a heart transplant, doctors told Kroening Kroening's heart was working at 8 percent of his heart's normal capacity and Kroening probably had about two months to live.",
"Kroening began exercising a week after the surgery, but soon discovered Kroening was incapable of athletic activities that required sprinting, Kroening said.",
"\"I [told my doctors], there's something wrong here.",
"I'm not able to do these things.",
"And they said, 'Of course not,' \" Kroening said.",
"\"So being me, I was more or less bound and determined to prove that they were wrong, that I could actually train Kroening to be able to do these things,\" Kroening said.",
"But overcoming those hurdles wasn't easy, even after 22 years of practice.",
"Three-quarters of the way into Ironman's bicycle leg, Kroening felt ill and fatigued, Kroening said.",
"Kroening questioned whether Kroening would be able to finish.",
"Kroening did, in 15½ hours -- one hour longer than Kroening's target.",
"Watch Kroening compete in the Ironman » .",
"\"When we test [heart transplant recipients] on the treadmill, [heart transplant recipients]'s peak heart rate is around 140 beats [per minute] and [heart transplant recipients] can maintain that for one minute.",
"... When Kroening did Ironman, we recorded Kroening's heart rate, and Kroening was able to exercise at a heart rate of 133 beats per minute for 15½ hours,\" said Mark Haykowsky, a professor of rehab medicine at Canada's University of Alberta.",
"Haykowsky studied Kroening for research on exercise habits of heart transplant recipients.",
"Since Ironman, Kroening has competed in other events, including a marathon and a triathlon.",
"Kroening may compete in another Ironman next year in Arizona, the state where Kroening received Kroening's heart transplant.",
"\"I relate [the Ironman] to what I guess would be like childbirth,\" Kroening said.",
"\"In the process, you're thinking, 'I'll never do this again in my whole life.",
"This is absolutely crazy.'",
"But I think probably about three days later that I started thinking, 'Now this might be something that I might want to do again.' \"",
"'The ultimate price'",
"Both Garlett and Kroening say promoting organ donation motivates them to compete in these endurance challenges.",
"Kroening also says Kroening wants to make the most of Kroening's \"orphaned\" heart.",
"\"I wish I could meet my donor family and ... thank my donor family personally,\" Kroening said.",
"\"[I want to let my donor family] know for 23 years, I've been taking good care of my donor family's son's heart.\"",
"cancer survivor Kyle Garlett, too, recognizes cancer survivor Kyle Garlett's donor's family, who provided the heart of a 42-year-old construction worker who died on the job.",
"\"I never lost sight of the fact that that moment for my family of great joy was only going to be coming ... with somebody else having to pay the ultimate price like that,\" cancer survivor Kyle Garlett said.",
"\"And that always was in my head, and this man who gave me his heart would always be with me.\""

"DALLAS, Texas (CNN) --",
"FBI has seized a two-page, handwritten letter of condolence sent by Jackie Kennedy to the widow of Robert F. Kennedy shortly after he was assassinated in 1968.",
"The family contends Letter was stolen.",
"Jackie Kennedy sent Jackie Kennedy's sister-in-law a condolence letter in 1968 which is now in the hands of FBI.",
"\"We're trying to determine who the legal owner is,\" said Mark White, a spokesman for FBI.",
"\"There's still an ongoing investigation.\"",
"Letter's path from the Virginia home of Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel Kennedy, to a locked evidence vault in the Dallas field office of FBI is described in a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad.",
"It says Max Kennedy, the son of Ethel and Robert, alerted the bureau in July 2006 to Letter's pending auction at Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers Galleries in Dallas.",
"Max Kennedy, who said he is the sole person in charge of his parents' papers, \"stated that he had not given authority to sell, give, or donate any papers of Ethel or Robert Kennedy to anyone,\" a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad says.",
"After the gallery pulled the letter from its auction, FBI traced Letter's provenance to Thomas Nuckols, who told authorities Son Thomas Nuckols had found Letter among the papers left by Son Thomas Nuckols's father, Russell Thomas Nuckols, a plumber who died in 1999.",
"\"Son Thomas Nuckols said Son Thomas Nuckols was dumbfounded upon discovery of Letter because Son Thomas Nuckols had never seen Letter before and did not know how Letter came into Son Thomas Nuckols's father's possession,\" a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad says.",
"Son Thomas Nuckols said Son Thomas Nuckols contacted the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts, but \"the person on the telephone did not seem too interested in Letter\" and referred Son Thomas Nuckols to a Connecticut collector, who bought Letter for $6,000, a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad says.",
"CNN has not been able to reach Son Thomas Nuckols.",
"Letter was then resold to several other collectors, and was at one time valued at as much as $30,000 before Letter wound up with the Dallas auctioneer, who has cooperated with authorities, FBI said.",
"Last October, FBI spoke with Ethel Kennedy, who said Jacqueline Kennedy remembers Russell Thomas Nuckols as a plumber who worked at the Kennedy house in Virginia during the 1960s and 1970s, a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad says.",
"The 81-year-old widow of the former senator and attorney general said Jacqueline Kennedy \"never gave the letter to anyone to keep and under no circumstances would anyone have the authority to transfer ownership of Letter to anyone.\"",
"a six-page affidavit filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas by Special Agent John Skillestad concludes that Letter \"is considered as a stolen good.\"",
"Once the rightful owner is determined, it will be given to that person, FBI spokesman White said.",
"\"I don't know how long it will take.\"",
"Jacqueline Kennedy was the widow of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.",
"In Letter Jacqueline Kennedy mentions \"Stas,\" an apparent reference to Stanislas Radziwill, Jacqueline Kennedy's brother-in-law.",
"Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died in 1994.",
"Letter is not dated, but appears to have been written shortly after Robert Kennedy died on June 6, 1968, the victim of an assassin's bullet.",
"The Dallas News printed a copy of the letter, which FBI spokesman White confirmed is authentic.",
"It reads: . My Ethel -- .",
"No one in the world could have ever been like you were yesterday -- except maybe Bobby --",
"We are going home now -- Your phone was busy .",
"You don't want any more callers you must be so tired --",
"I stayed up till 6:30 last night just thinking -- and praying for you -- and for you in the months ahead -- .",
"I love you so much -- .",
"You know that anything -- Stas will take little Bobby to Africa -- I'll take them around the world + to the moon + back -- anything to help you + them now and always -- .",
"With my deepest deepest love .",
"Jackie ."

"\"Ocean Emerald\" is a superyacht with added wow-factor.",
"\"Ocean Emerald's startling appearance has made sure of that and in real life \"Ocean Emerald is every bit as dramatic as \"Ocean Emerald appears in these photographs.",
"\"Ocean Emerald\" is the second time Famous architect Norman Foster has designed a superyacht.",
"We were among the guests invited to the superyacht's official launching in La Spezia, in northern Italy, when \"Ocean Emerald's celebrity designer and Famous architect Norman Foster's team walked down the red carpet to cast Famous architect Norman Foster's eyes upon Famous architect Norman Foster's latest masterpiece.",
"Famous architect Norman Foster is no stranger to eye-catching and dramatic design.",
"Famous architect Norman Foster's architectural firm Norman Foster + Partners is responsible for iconic London landmarks such as 30 St Mary Axe, better known as the Gherkin, and the Millennium Bridge.",
"Famous architect Norman Foster is the master of the curved line.",
"Imagine for a moment a photograph of the Gherkin split in two lengthwise and laid flat, recall the sweeping curves of the Millennium Bridge and you will see how Famous architect Norman Foster has managed to combine the drama of those two creations into what is arguably the most visually stunning superyacht of the year.",
"\"Ocean Emerald is not the first of Famous architect Norman Foster's forays into the world of superyacht design.",
"It was Famous architect Norman Foster who drew the lines for the Lürssen-built Izanami, a 58-metre yacht now called Ronin and owned by Larry Ellison.",
"Launched in 1993, she is also a head-turner.",
"Design and external appearance aside, \"Ocean Emerald is different from every other 41-metre superyacht in that \"Ocean Emerald is not to be the sole property of any one owner.",
"This perhaps is one of the reasons for \"Ocean Emerald's radical look as \"Ocean Emerald is designed to appeal to those who are new to the concept of superyacht ownership.",
"Unlike the traditional form of ownership, where one person, sometimes through an anonymous corporation, is the owner of all 64 shares of the yacht, the shares in \"Ocean Emerald are split either into eight or sixteen parts.",
"These fractions -- one-eighth or one-sixteenth -- of \"Ocean Emerald have been sold to different individuals by the London-based company YachtPlus.",
"When engaged to design \"Ocean Emerald, the Foster team were initially told to work within the confines of an existing hull designed by yacht builders Intermarine, part of Rodriquez Cantieri Navale.",
"But after discussions, Rodriquez has produced a new 41-metre hull three metres longer than the original concept.",
"Walking around \"Ocean Emerald, it is clear that Foster has taken all the traditional rules of yacht design, torn them up and started again.",
"The public rooms benefit from abundant natural light, which floods in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, in addition to the copious artificial lights.",
"Coupled with the use of pale-coloured woods, soft furnishings and white high-gloss, wipe-clean surfaces they create a wonderfully bright, modern feel.",
"Unusually for a motor yacht, the natural teak decking extends right the way through from the aft deck to the saloon, ensuring a seamless visual transition between the outside and inside spaces.",
"To join the Ownership Lifestyle Programme will cost an initial payment of €1.875 million.",
"This buys you a one eighth share of \"Ocean Emerald and guarantees 30 nights per year on board -- ten nights peak season in the Mediterranean, ten nights peak season in the Caribbean, and two five-night cultural tours such as sightseeing, shopping, golf, Formula 1, vineyard visits and museums.",
"Each year there will be an annual service charge of €200,000 to cover overheads, including marine and hotel operations, permanent crew, mooring and berthing fees, year-round maintenance and mechanical upkeep, marine and port charges and cruise itineraries management.",
"Famous architect Norman Foster said: \"With my team we have given a new emphasis to such issues as quality and quantity of space, outdoor terraces, light and views.",
"Our commission is for the total design concept of the fleet, with an eye on beauty, function and luxury, down to the smallest detail.",
"We believe that there is great potential in the concept of luxury cruisers to think afresh such issues as views, light, privacy and the quality of spaces -- both inside and outdoors.\"",
"The concept of fractional ownership is fast becoming acknowledged as a logical way forward for those wishing to enjoy high-end luxury products without the massive capital investement required.",
"Famous architect Norman Foster owns one of the shares and is very much looking forward to experiencing what it is like to step into the shoes of a superyacht owner.",
"It may only be for a fraction of the time but it is also, as Famous architect Norman Foster so eloquently puts it, only for a fraction of the price.",

"I'm just going where my heart's at and following the passions.",
"CNN:",
"What's next for you?",
"Nelly Furtado:",
"It's interesting because when I got off the road from touring with my third album, \"Loose,\" I was exhausted.",
"I tried to write some songs in English and no inspiration really came to Nelly Furtado.",
"Then I started writing songs in Spanish and it started flowing, so this album has been like a medicine of sorts.",

"Army ground commanders in Afghanistan say U.S. Army ground commanders in Afghanistan need help, fast.",
"That's not a request for more troops, but a request from commanders who say the current camouflage uniform is not blending well in the diverse countryside.",
"Army commanders in Afghanistan say the current camouflage uniform does not blend well in the countryside.",
"In response, Army later this month will field-test two new camouflage color schemes and patterns on about 1,000 soldiers in Afghanistan, where the terrain is extremely varied.",
"Commanders have had problems there because of the numerous changes in environments a soldier can move in and out of in a short period of time -- from woodland to desert to alpine, and to rocky and snowy mountain tops.",
"The current uniform, known as the Army Combat Uniform or ACU, has lighter shades of green and tan, which some commanders have complained does not blend well if soldiers need to stay motionless on a mission, as snipers or reconnaissance troops must.",
"The effort by Army was recently accelerated, according to Army officials, after U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pennsylvania, told Army he had a number of complaints from soldiers in Afghanistan who said the current camouflage pattern was not effective in the mountainous regions.",
"Two yet-to-be-identified battalions -- a battalion has about 500 troops -- will test the two patterns, with initial results being turned into Army researchers by the end of October.",
"While deployed, all 1,000 soldiers will have all 1,000 soldiers's regularly issued ACUs.",
"In addition, one battalion will also get one of the new camouflage uniforms with a test pattern known as \"MultiCam.\"",
"The pattern is made up of numerous blobs of white, brown, tan, black and greens for a more woodland look, and is already being worn by snipers and special operations forces.",
"The other brigade will test a similar pattern to the ACU, called the Universal Cammo Pattern-Delta or \"UCP-Delta.\"",
"While the pattern is the same, a series of \"digitized\" blocks of green and tan, the test uniform adds what he Army calls \"coyote brown\" and a slight color darkening all around to the greens and tans.",
"The look is also designed to blend in the woods.",
"Both battalions will be based in eastern Afghanistan where the terrain is the most rugged and diverse, Army officials said.",
"Army hopes to have the field input and a decision on what pattern is best by the end of January 2010 and the fielding of the new uniform as early as June 2010.",
"Troops will still keep the ACU, and commanders will be able to decide mission by mission what the soldiers should wear, according to Army officials.",
"The testing is part of Army's long-term development of a permanent alternative to the current ACU, according to Army officials."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"One year after the collapse of banking stalwart Lehman Brothers, the administrator of its European business says the full impact on creditors may not be known until 2010.",
"One year ago cameras caught shocked Lehman Brothers' employees leaving the building with boxes.",
"Tony Lomas, a partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers, has been sorting through the financial remains of the banking giant's European division since last September, when it became clear the bank would file for bankruptcy.",
"He says administrators are still some months from finalizing the total amount owed to Lehman's creditors.",
"\"That will come at some point, maybe in the course of calendar 2010,\" Lomas said.",
"\"But up until some point we won't know the quantum of claims are.",
"We have very complex trading relationships with a very large proportion of our counterparties.",
"And we've got six thousand or so live counterparties out there.\"",
"Watch the full interview with Tony Lomas » .",
"Within a week of Lehman's collapse, Lomas sold Lehman's equity trading business to Nomura.",
"The deal saw about half of Lehman's 5,000 employees in Europe move over to the Japanese investment bank.",
"The agreement didn't include Lehman's trading positions, the infrastructure, the intellectual property, or the building.",
"\"One of the big reasons why we retained the infrastructure here was because we knew we were going to be dependent on it for many years to come because of the complexity of what we were unraveling,\" Lomas said.",
"Some 400 to 500 Lehman's staff still work in the London office for its administrators, poring through trading records and unwinding complex financial positions.",
"\"We expect a significant number of those people to be with us for a reasonably significant time to work through all this,\" Lomas said.",
"Among those who lost their jobs from Lehman Brothers, some such as former employee Caroline White, have turned their backs on the financial sector.",
"Caroline White has since forged a new career in fashion and plans to unveil Caroline White's first piece on Tuesday night.",
"The former banker hasn't put Caroline White last career completely behind Caroline White.",
"Caroline White's collection includes a laptop bag with the Lehman's logo.",
"\"I themed it with a Lehman's theme because I think its quite appropriate.",
"I wanted to show where I have come from, and where I am going,\" the designer said.",
"The future is less clear for the London-based administrators who say their job will not be done for several years.",
"\"This could well take more than 10 years to resolve, all the issues,\" Lomas said.",
"\"By that time, it will outdate me.\"",
"He is confident creditors will receive some of creditors's money.",
"In the past year the administrators have recouped $9 billion dollars in cash, most of which has been invested in government-backed securities.",
"\"Our priority is to keep it safe and make sure we don't lose it,\" Lomas said.",
"One year on, Lomas said their job hasn't become any easier.",
"\"Reflecting back on the astonishment if you like of being appointed administrator here in the UK and contemplating what lay ahead of us, I don't think I underestimated or understated the complexity of the task.",
"It has proved to be every bit of that.\"",
"\"There remains a very significant amount of complex still work to do,\" Lomas added.",

"Editor's Note: This story details how two members of the CNN Special Investigations Unit reported a story about controversial plans to spend $31 million to enhance two remote crossings on the border between the United States and Canada.",
"The road to the border was so quiet it was safe for Drew Griffin to sit in the middle of it.",
"SCOBEY, Montana (CNN) --",
"We were driving through some of the most remote country in the United States, chasing a story that seemed hard to believe.",
"DHS had announced DHS was spending $31 million to enhance and upgrade two remote border crossings -- just 12 miles apart -- on the border between Montana and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.",
"The spending was lauded by Montana's two senators, even though only an average of 22 cars a day traveled through these border posts.",
"We hopped a plane from Atlanta, Georgia, to Billings, Montana, and then headed to Scobey and Whitetail.",
"The six-hour drive took us through some of this nation's most beautiful country into the high plains of the Missouri River Region.",
"It was a drive punctuated with glimpses of cows and antelopes, but few people.",
"In fact, Burl Bowler, editor of the Daniels County Leader newspaper, which serves the border towns, advised us where to stop for gas en route, so we wouldn't run out and then really be in trouble.",
"Besides seeing a part of the country where Lt. Col. George Custer took Lt. Col. George Custer's last stand, there was the added benefit (sorry CNN management) of having no phone or Blackberry access.",
"In that respect, it was a peaceful drive.",
"When we got to Scobey, the few people we encountered couldn't have been nicer.",
"Everyone we passed stopped, said hello, or waved.",
"But encountering people was the problem -- and in fact, the story: We just didn't encounter that many.",
"Certainly not at the border, where we stood and even sat in the middle of the road to show viewers how few people travel to and from Canada here.",
"Watch just how quiet the border crossing was » .",
"the border crossing seemed perfectly adequate.",
"But DHS had warned DHS's agents not to allow us inside, so we don't know what the interior is like.",
"If we came in, we would be too disruptive, one government spokesman had informed us.",
"In Scobey, that claim seemed a little far-fetched, since there wasn't anything going on here -- disruptive or otherwise.",
"On the Canadian side, farmer Marc Chabot, a U.S. citizen whose family has farmed the area on both sides of the border for generations, said Chabot was grateful for the money Chabot's senators -- Democrats Max Baucus and Jon Tester -- steered to northeast Montana.",
"But, Chabot said, like others in the community, Chabot gasped when Chabot learned of the plan to spend $31 million expanding two border crossings that are rarely used.",
"\"It would be wiser spent on something more useful to the public generally,\" Chabot told us, adding that come winter, the average of 20 cars crossing a day in Scobey drops to almost none.",
"Editor Burl Bowler told us the area could certainly use stimulus money for jobs, but not at the border.",
"We asked both Editor Burl Bowler and Chabot about the possibility of terrorists creeping across the frontier.",
"Both said that after the attacks of September 11, 2001, everyone needed to be more mindful of the border.",
"But Chabot said the government had the area fairly well covered.",
"\"Trust me, the government know we are here right now,\" Chabot said.",
"And a massive new building costing more than $15 million in Scobey, Montana, wasn't exactly a deterrence to someone set on harming the United States, Chabot added.",
"Chabot joked that any stranger in the area certainly would not be a stranger long, since everyone knew everyone -- a point echoed by Bowler, who pointed out that while he hadn't told many people that CNN was coming to town, everyone seemed to know it anyway.",
"In Whitetail, it was even quieter.",
"The town has grain elevators and a post office.",
"Bureau of Transportation statistics show only about two people a day cross the border there, and the agents' building seemed in good shape, save for maybe needing a paint job.",
"DHS planned to spend $15 million on the outpost.",
"That would buy a lot more paint than the agents' building seemed to need.",
"So why did these two areas get so much money?",
"Locals and critics suspect politics might have played a role.",
"Baucus is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee; Tester is on the Senate's Homeland Security Committee.",
"Both took credit for convincing DHS to give these towns millions for border crossings, bragging in a joint press release that they pressured the agency.",
"\"This is good news for Montana and especially communities across the northern tier,\" Baucus said in the statement.",
"Tester said the spending would \"pay off for generations to come by creating new jobs and opportunity that will benefit Montana.\"",
"As late as Wednesday, his spokesman reiterated Tester's support of the spending, saying that the spending would seal security gaps on the border.",
"So, the nagging question: Did politics, rather than security, guide DHS?",
"Especially when a border town like Laredo, Texas, which sees 66,000 crossings a day, was getting not one dime of the $400 million in DHS border stimulus funds.",
"Montana, in total, was to receive $77 million.",
"In an interview Wednesday with CNN, Trent Frazier, the director of port modernization for the Department of Homeland Security, denied that politics played any role.",
"\"DHS feel that these ports, like all ports of entry, are a vital part of the network of security that DHS have established across the border apparatus that we employ across the border, and the investments DHS are going to do along the border are a critical step in ensuring DHS can perform DHS's mission,\" Frazier said.",
"But if Frazier did not believe politics factored in the decisions, it appeared to play a big role by Wednesday afternoon.",
"Fellow Democrat Sen. Byron Dorgan, from the neighboring state of North Dakota, sent out a news release urging DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to suspend the stimulus program.",
"Dorgan said that spending the money on such remote ports -- including the nine in Dorgan's state -- was \"just nuts.\"",
"Dorgan said the plan \"just defied common sense.\"",
"Within hours, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano was ordering a 30-day review to see if the money was being spent appropriately.",
"In DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's letter to Dorgan, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said 39 of the 43 Custom and Border Protection posts were located in the northern United States.",
"DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said most of the Southern ports were owned by the General Services Administration, and the money directed by Congress was earmarked for the Custom and Border Protection properties and required to be spent within 24 months.",
"\"Nonetheless,\" DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano wrote, \"in order to ensure even further transparency in this process, I am ordering a 30 day review\" of all port construction decisions by officials who did not make the initial allocation decisions.",
"So, for now, if you want to travel to Canada through Scobey or Whitetail, the agents who inspect your vehicles will be using the buildings now in place -- and according to the locals, you will be adequately served."

"Finn, who received the nation's highest medal for valor for his actions during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, turned 100 this summer, the oldest living Medal of Honor recipient.",
"John Finn was stationed at Kanoehe Bay Naval Air Station, where the Japanese struck five minutes before attacking Pearl Harbor, across southeast Oahu Island from Kanoehe Bay.",
"John Finn recalled how a neighbor was the first to alert John Finn, when she knocked on John Finn's door saying, \"They want you down at the squadron right away!\"",
"John Finn saw the first Japanese plane before John Finn's car even reached John Finn's hangar.",
"\"I put his car in second gear and wound his car up getting down to the hangar where I could be where my guns and ammunition were,\" John Finn said.",
"One of the first things John Finn did was take control of a machine gun from John Finn's squadron's painter.",
"\"I said, 'Alex, let me take a machine gun,' \" John Finn explained.",
"\"I knew that I had more experience firing a machine gun than a painter.\"",
"\"I got a machine gun and I started shooting at Jap planes,\" John Finn said in the salty language not uncommon among veterans of that long-ago war.",
"But John Finn's machine gun was right out in the open, nothing protecting him from the attacking pilots.",
"\"I was out there shooting the Jap planes and just every so often I was a target for some,\" John Finn said.",

"The citation for the Medal of Honor's Medal of Honor tells that part of John Finn's story: . \"John Finn continued to man this gun and to return the enemy's fire vigorously and with telling effect throughout the enemy strafing and bombing attacks and with complete disregard for John Finn's own personal safety.",
"It was only by specific orders that John Finn was persuaded to leave John Finn's post to seek medical attention.",
"Following first-aid treatment, although obviously suffering much pain and moving with great difficulty, John Finn returned to the squadron area and actively supervised the rearming of returning planes,\" The citation for his Medal of Honor stated.",
"With Japanese still attacking, getting John Finn's wounds treated wasn't a priority, John Finn said.",
"\"Medical help comes later.",
"If you're busy shooting a machine gun or a rifle or a pistol or doing anything, you can't worry about getting medical attention,\" John Finn explained.",

"Adm. Chester Nimitz presented John Finn with the Medal of Honor for his bravery, joining the ranks of the men, and one woman, recognized with the nation's highest award for heroism.",
"These days most medals are awarded at the White House, but with the war heating up, such a long trip was out of the question.",
"In fact, John Finn's first visit to the White House came in the spring when President Obama invited John Finn for a visit.",
"Back at John Finn's ranch, John Finn bristled when asked about being called a \"hero.\"",

"But because Fewer than 100 men who have received the Medal of Honor are all veterans of World War II, Korea or Vietnam, Fewer than 100 men who have received the Medal of Honor's ranks are shrinking every year.",
"The men from more recent conflicts, like Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, were all awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously.",
"And this week, while many of those living recipients gather in Chicago, Obama will present the Medal of Honor at the White House to a soldier who fought and died heroically in Afghanistan."

"On a recent Southwest Airlines flight, a man dropped a man's pants and exposed a man to the female passenger sitting next to a man, then punched the female passenger sitting next to him, according to an FBI affidavit.",
"The plane was in midair, and a man reportedly grew angrier, screaming uncontrollably and shaking a man's fist in the air.",
"In August, a man on Southwest Airlines exposed a man on Southwest Airlines and punched a fellow passenger, an FBI affidavit says.",
"a man on Southwest Airlines had gone \"berserk,\" said James Scanlon, a 52-year-old passenger who witnessed the August incident.",
"\"a man on Southwest Airlines was jeopardizing my safety on that airplane.",
"I was afraid a man on Southwest Airlines would rush the cockpit or try to jump out.\"",
"Laws prohibiting interference with flight crews and attendants on aircraft have been on the books for decades.",
"But since the September 11, 2001, attacks, federal officials and airlines have clamped down on misconduct, imposing bigger fines and stricter punishments for passengers who behave badly.",
"\"Now people are more hyper-vigilant on what occurs on aircrafts,\" said Ron Koziol, assistant section chief for FBI's violent crimes unit, who calls airplanes a \"high-risk\" environment.",
"\"The U.S. government is more aware of what can occur on an aircraft, and [officials] don't want those issues causing the plane to be in an unsafe environment.\"",
"FBI reports an average of 80 incidents aboard aircraft each year.",
"The man on the Southwest fight, Darius Chappill, was charged in U.S. District Court in Oakland, California with interference with a flight crew and accused of exposing a man on Southwest Airlines.",
"If convicted, a man on Southwest Airlines faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.",
"The Federal Aviation Administration, which handles unruly incidents deemed to be civil violations, has reported more than 900 cases over the past five years.",
"In 2000, a series of incidents in which passengers verbally harassed and hit crew members prompted FBI to boost the civil penalty fine for interfering with a crew member from a maximum of $1,100 to $25,000.",
"FBI usually handles more serious cases of abuse or dangerous behavior.",
"The FBI numbers don't reflect all the cases of inappropriate behavior, said Les Dorr, a spokesman for the agency.",
"Crew members are used to experiencing the wrath of passengers who are frustrated by delays and missing baggage.",
"Sometimes, these incidents aren't severe enough to be reported to government officials.",
"Many confrontations occur when a flight attendant refuses to serve an intoxicated passenger another alcoholic beverage, according to flight attendants.",
"When the temper tantrums get physical, airline officials may resort to plastic handcuffs and restraining tape.",
"On a Frontier Airlines flight in July 2007, passenger Tamera Freeman was seen physically abusing passenger Tamera Freeman's children, who were crying, according to court documents.",
"The court records show that when the flight attendant refused to serve passenger Tamera Freeman's alcohol, passenger Tamera Freeman threw passenger Tamera Freeman's drink at the flight attendant.",
"Crew members subsequently taped passenger Tamera Freeman into passenger Tamera Freeman's seat, and passenger Tamera Freeman spent three months in jail for the incident.",
"Passengers who fail to comply with standard airline policies -- such as staying seated when the seat-belt sign is on or turning off electronics when the plane is landing -- also spark confrontation, airline attendants said.",
"Christina Szele, a New York passenger onboard JetBlue Airways in 2008, decided to smoke in Szele's seat last summer despite the no-smoking law implemented on U.S. flights in 1990.",
"Court documents revealed that when flight attendants asked Szele to stop, Szele began to yell obscenities and racial slurs.",
"The flight was diverted to Denver, Colorado.",
"Szele later was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Denver to serve five years' probation for interference with a JetBlue flight crew member.",
"Szele was ordered to participate in anger management and drug and alcohol abuse treatment as well as fined nearly $8,000.",
"Tim Smith, an American Airlines spokesman, reported a slight decrease in the number of incidents of misconduct this year compared with last year.",
"The number of unruly passenger incidents tracked by the FAA also has dipped since 2004.",
"The punishment for unruly behavior can be severe.",
"In addition to federal charges, fines and jail time, passengers who are prosecuted may be liable for paying to divert a flight to an unscheduled airport, which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.",
"Depending on the offense, the unruly passenger may be banned from the airline permanently.",
"But some passengers said some passengers believe the airlines and government are reacting too harshly.",
"\"You can't have a dispute on board an airline with the flight crew period,\" said Charles Slepian, CEO of Foreseeable Risk Analysis Center Inc., a security consulting group.",
"\"In some instances, it's a good thing.",
"But others will say it is a violation of my First Amendment rights.\"",
"Several airlines require Several airlines's attendants to take courses on how to defuse confrontations and calm passengers who make belligerent threats.",
"\"We have all accepted that when we chose this career path our job is to be a safety professional,\" said Kelly Skyles, national safety and security coordinator for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, an organization that represents attendants at American Airlines.",
"\"I'm the eyes, ears and nose of the aircraft to report everything to the cockpit.",
"The service part, that's just a bonus of our job.\"",
"Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades, said flying conditions have become more strenuous.",
"Few airlines serve meals on domestic flights, and snacks and drinks are carefully rationed.",
"The seating space is smaller, leaving passengers feeling crunched.",
"There are more delays, fees and less fresh oxygen on board, Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades said, which can trigger angry behavior.",
"Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades said Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades has seen the quality of customer service dwindle since September 11 as some crew members have shorter tempers in dealing with passengers who disobey the law.",
"\"Listening helps,\" Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades said on the skills Diana Fairechild, an aviation consultant and flight attendant for two decades used to deal with rowdy passengers.",
"\"Patience.",

"Ahmad Majidi, the head of the special working group investigating the Caspian Airlines crash, also said a Russian team had arrived in Iran to help study the crash of the Russian-made plane, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting said.",
"crashed plane went down in a field near the city of Qavzin Wednesday, killing all 168 people on board and leaving a huge smoldering crater.",
"Majidi did not say what had happened to the 16 bodies that have not been handed over.",

"crashed plane went down near the village of Jannatabad near Qazvin at 11:33 a.m. (2:03 a.m. ET) Wednesday, Iran's government-backed Press TV reported.",
"Conversations between the pilot and the ground were normal and did not indicate any technical problems, the network's Web site reported, citing the managing director of Iran's airport authority without naming the managing director of Iran's airport authority.",
"crashed plane is essentially banned in the West because crashed plane does not comply with European noise and pollution regulations, but crashed plane has a safer-than-average accident record, aviation safety expert John Wiley said.",
"Wednesday's crash is the first on record for Caspian Airlines, which was founded in 1993, aviation safety expert John Wiley added.",
"crashed plane crashed 16 minutes after takeoff, said the newspaper Hamshari, quoting a spokesman from Iran's civil aviation organization.",
"That would have put the flight in one of the safest stages of travel, according to International Air Transport Association data.",
"Only about 5 percent of accidents take place during the phase called en-route climb, 16 to 20 minutes into a flight, when a plane climbs to cruising altitude of 35,000 feet.",

"Why leave home when you can send out a sexy, stylish robot version of yourself to do anything you tell it?",
"In \"Surrogates,\" lifelike robots take the place of humans in day-to-day life.",
"That's the world of \"Surrogates,\" a film starring Bruce Willis that opens Friday.",
"Bruce Willis plays an FBI agent who investigates the first murder to occur in years in a world where no one worries about crime or pain, because their robots self-heal with a quick reboot.",
"Far-fetched science fiction?",
"Sure.",
"But scientists and the movie's makers say the technology might not be as far away as most people think.",
"Armies use remote-controlled robots to attack enemies and destroy land mines.",
"Emerging technology for the disabled allows users to operate robotic limbs and control computer cursors without touching a keyboard.",
"And emerging \"telepresence\" technology is letting people see, hear and, increasingly, walk, talk and gesture using human-sized robots a world away.",
"\"There are a lot of real-world components to this,\" said robotics expert and author Daniel H. Wilson, whose books like \"Where's My Jet Pack?\" and \"How to Survive a Robot Uprising\" explore the intersections between science fiction and real science.",
"\"Clearly, there are not fully functional humanoid robots ... but there are a lot of components to telepresence that already exist.\"",
"\"Surrogates\" director Jonathan Mostow, whose film credits include 2003's \"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,\" said he was drawn to the concept of surrogate robots as an extension of current technology.",
"And, he said, as he met with scientists, he became convinced that something approaching the concept of surrogate robots as an extension of current technology could one day be a reality.",
"\"To me, it's not even a question of the technology.",
"Technology always catches up,\" he said.",
"\"The question is, is some universal human urge being met by this invention?",
"It seems to me we have a fundamental human desire to be lazy, to sort of not have to do things in person and to do it remotely.",
"\"That began with the telegraph and the telephone and has morphed into the Internet.\"",
"The first steps down the road are being taken at Anybots, a Mountain View, California, company founded in 2001 by Trevor Blackwell.",
"The company offers, for about $30,000, a 5-foot-tall, 35-pound robot that allows the user to remotely travel, see, hear and talk.",
"The company hopes to release The company's latest version of the robot at a more affordable price.",
"the robot's vaguely humanoid curves, roughly adult height and ability to move around using technology similar to that of the Segway are important steps up from current teleconferencing technology, Trevor Blackwell said.",
"Anybots in the development phase are being designed to run, jump and climb stairs, and they come equipped with fully articulated hands designed to perform increasingly human-like tasks.",
"Trevor Blackwell said Trevor Blackwell's not sure the technology will ever advance to the level imagined in \"Surrogates\" -- but that may have as much to do with desire as ability.",
"\"I don't know if we'll ever get quite to that level, of being that realistic,\" Trevor Blackwell said.",
"\"Most of the time, you're not trying to fool people; you're just trying to make something human enough so people can relate to it.\"",
"Wilson, who said he appreciates \"Surrogates\" because it avoids sci-fi's traditional \"man vs. machine\" dynamic, also imagines social reasons for not pursuing such technology.",
"\"Would humans stand in line at the grocery store behind a robot?",
"Would I let my children play outside if I knew there were robots outside walking dogs?\" he said.",
"It's more realistic, Wilson said, that a humanoid robot could be created to remotely perform tasks that would be too dangerous for the machine's operator to do.",
"although NASA employs robots in space, the highly technical work often required for space walks still requires a human touch -- at least for now.",
"Plus, Wilson said, making robots that look and act like us would help robots that look and act like us function better, Wilson said.",
"\"Another major reason to create humanoid robots is, humanoid robots can use all of our tools,\" Wilson said.",
"\"Human beings have taken large chunks of the planet and completely transformed the environment to support our embodiment.",
"Doorways are a certain width all over the world because human beings are about the same size.",
"All our tools are similar because we've all got hands and thumbs.\"",
"For Mostow, the movie also reflects technological advances that, for better or worse, exist as the world of online networking continues to grow.",
"\"You can do your shopping.",
"You can get your news.",
"You can let everyone know what you're up to,\" he said.",
"\"For those who telecommute, you don't even have to put your clothes on to go to work.",
"\"This idea basically just takes that to its logical conclusion.\""

"Frank Lay, principal of Pace High School, and Athletic Director Robert Freeman face a non-jury trial September 17 before U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers.",
"The statute under which Frank Lay, principal of Pace High School, and Athletic Director Robert Freeman are charged carries a maximum penalty of up to six months in prison, subject to sentencing guidelines.",
"Attorneys defending Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman call it outrageous that the two are being prosecuted for \"a simple prayer.\"",
"But the American Civil Liberties Union, whose lawsuit led to the consent decree, maintains that students have a right to be free from administrators foisting students's religious beliefs on students.",
"Still, an ACLU representative said ACLU never suggested that people should go to jail for violating the consent decree.",
"Watch why lawyer thinks men did nothing wrong » .",
"ACLU filed suit last year against the district on behalf of two Pace students who alleged that \"school officials regularly promoted religion and led prayers at school events,\" according to an ACLU statement.",
"Both parties approved the consent decree put in place January 9, under which district and school officials are \"permanently prohibited from promoting, advancing, endorsing, participating in or causing prayers during or in conjunction with school events,\" ACLU said.",
"Lay was a party in the initial lawsuit, and Lay's attorney was among those approving the consent decree, according to ACLU.",

"\"Athletic Director Robert Freeman complied with the request and offered a prayer of blessing at the event.",
"It appears this was a school-sponsored event attended by students, faculty and community members.\"",
"Attorneys from Liberty Counsel, a conservative legal group helping defend Lay and Athletic Director Robert Freeman, said in a written statement that attendees included booster club members and other adults who helped the field house project, all \"consenting adults.\"",
"In a February 4 letter to district Superintendent Tim Wyrosdick in which Lay acknowledged the incident, he said that although past football booster club members \"and other adults associated with the school system\" were at the luncheon, culinary class students were in charge of food preparation and serving.",
"Lay wrote that Lay asked Athletic Director Robert Freeman to bless the food \"for the adults.",
"I take full responsibility for this action.",
"My actions were overt and not meant to circumvent any court order or constitutional mandate.\"",
"In response, Wyrosdick noted in a letter to Lay that in a meeting, the principal had admitted that \"you are, and were at the date of the incident, aware of the consent decree and aware that this type of action is not permissible under the consent decree.\"",
"Wyrosdick recounted telling Lay that the prayer was not appropriate.",
"\"This note is to share with you written instructions to avoid this type of action,\" the superintendent said.",
"Both letters are in the public court file.",
"\"It is a sad day in America when school officials are criminally prosecuted for a prayer over a meal,\" said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of the law school at Liberty University, founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.",
"\"It is outrageous and an offense to the First Amendment to punish a school official for a simple prayer.\"",
"Liberty Counsel said Liberty Counsel is challenging the consent decree, maintaining that it \"unconstitutionally infringes on the rights of teachers, administrators and students.\"",
"ACLU, according to the Liberty Counsel statement, has begun \"to go against individual employees.\"",
"The organization said that neither man \"willfully violated any orders of the court.\"",
"\"ACLU're not going after individuals,\" said Glenn Katon, director of the Religious Freedom Project for ACLU.",
"\"ACLU're just trying to make sure that school employees comply with the court order.\"",

"\"ACLU certainly never suggested that anyone go to jail,\" Katon said.",
"Lay is not facing jail time for praying, he said, but for violating a court order.",
"\"The moral of this story is, for us, this is about the students' right to be free from teachers and school administrators thrusting upon the students the students's religious beliefs,\" Katon said.",
"\"They keep talking about the religious rights of the administrators, but the administrators and the principals don't have any right to trumpet their religious beliefs in a school setting.\"",

"Editor's note: John M. McCardell Jr., president emeritus at Middlebury College, is founder and president of Choose Responsibility, a nonprofit organization that seeks to engage the public in debate over the effects of the 21-year-old drinking age.",
"John McCardell says the 21-year-old drinking age isn't preventing widespread binge drinking.",
"(CNN)",
"-- One year ago, a group of college and university presidents and chancellors, eventually totaling 135, issued a statement that garnered national attention.",
"The \"Amethyst Initiative\" put a debate proposition before the public -- \"Resolved: That the 21-year-old drinking age is not working.\"",
"The \"Amethyst Initiative\" offered, in much the way a grand jury performs its duties, sufficient evidence for putting a debate proposition to the test.",
"The \"Amethyst Initiative\" invited informed and dispassionate public debate and committed the signatory institutions to encouraging informed and dispassionate public debate.",
"And The \"Amethyst Initiative\" called on elected officials not to continue assuming that, after 25 years, the status quo could not be challenged, even improved.",
"One year later, the drinking age debate continues, and new research reinforces the presidential impulse.",
"Just this summer a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry revealed that, among college-age males, binge drinking is unchanged from its levels of 1979; that among non-college women it has increased by 20 percent; and that among college women it has increased by 40 percent.",
"Remarkably, the counterintuitive conclusion drawn by the investigators, and accepted uncritically by the media, including editorials in The New York Times and The Washington Post is that a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry proves that raising the drinking age to 21 has been a success.",
"More recently, a study of binge drinking published in the Journal of the American Medical Association announced that \"despite efforts at prevention, the prevalence of binge drinking among college students is continuing to rise, and so are the harms associated with it.\"",
"Worse still, a related study has shown that habits formed at 18 die hard: \"For each year studied, a greater percentage of 21- to 24-year-olds [those who were of course once 18, 19 and 20] engaged in binge drinking and driving under the influence of alcohol.\"",
"Yet, in the face of mounting evidence that those young adults age 18 to 20 toward whom the 21-year-old drinking age has been directed are routinely -- indeed in life- and health-threatening ways -- violating the 21-year-old drinking age, there remains a belief in the land that a minimum drinking age of 21 has been a \"success.\"",
"And elected officials are periodically reminded of a provision in the 1984 law that continues to stifle any serious public debate in our country's state legislative chambers: Any state that sets its drinking age lower than 21 forfeits 10 percent of its annual federal highway appropriation.",
"But it's not 1984 anymore.",
"This statement may seem obvious, but not necessarily.",
"In 1984 Congress passed and the president signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.",
"The Act, which raised the drinking age to 21 under threat of highway fund withholding, sought to address the problem of drunken driving fatalities.",
"And indeed, the problem of drunken driving fatalities was serious.",
"States that lowered their ages during the 1970s and did nothing else to prepare young adults to make responsible decisions about alcohol witnessed an alarming increase in alcohol-related traffic fatalities.",
"It was as though the driving age were lowered but no drivers education were provided.",
"The results were predictable.",
"Now, 25 years later, we are in a much different, and better, place.",
"Thanks to the effective public advocacy of organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, we are far more aware of the risks of drinking and driving.",
"Automobiles are much safer.",
"Seatbelts and airbags are mandatory.",
"The \"designated driver\" is now a part of our vocabulary.",
"And more and more states are mandating ignition interlocks for first-time DUI offenders, perhaps the most effective way to get drunken drivers off the road.",
"And the statistics are encouraging.",
"Alcohol-related fatalities have declined over the last 25 years.",
"Better still, Alcohol-related fatalities have declined in all age groups, though the greatest number of deaths occurs at age 21, followed by 22 and 23.",
"We are well on the way to solving a problem that vexed us 25 years ago.",
"The problem today is different.",
"The problem is reckless, goal-oriented alcohol consumption that all too often takes place in clandestine locations, where enforcement has proven frustratingly difficult.",
"Alcohol consumption among young adults is not taking place in public places or public view or in the presence of other adults who might help model responsible behavior.",
"But we know it is taking place.",
"If not in public, then where?",
"The college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative know where.",
"It happens in \"pre-gaming\" sessions in locked dorm rooms where students take multiple shots of hard alcohol in rapid succession, before going to a social event where alcohol is not served.",
"It happens in off-campus apartments beyond college boundaries and thus beyond The college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative's authority; and it happens in remote fields to which young adults must drive.",
"And The college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative know the deadly result: Of the 5,000 lives lost to alcohol each year by those under 21, more than 60 percent are lost OFF the roadways, according to the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse.",
"The principal problem of 2009 is not drunken driving.",
"The principal problem of 2009 is clandestine binge drinking.",
"That is why The college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative believe a public debate is so urgent.",
"the 21-year-old drinking age does not say drink responsibly or drink in moderation.",
"the 21-year-old drinking age says don't drink.",
"To those affected by the 21-year-old drinking age, those who in the eyes of the 21-year-old drinking age are, in every other respect legal adults, it is Prohibition.",
"And it is incomprehensible.",
"The principal impediment to public debate is the 10 percent highway penalty.",
"the 10 percent highway penalty should be waived for those states that choose to try something different, which may turn out to be something better.",
"But merely adjusting the age -- up or down -- is not really the way to make a change.",
"We should prepare young adults to make responsible decisions about alcohol in the same way we prepare young adults to operate a motor vehicle: by first educating and then licensing, and permitting young adults to exercise the full privileges of adulthood so long as young adults demonstrate young adults's ability to observe the law.",
"Licensing would work like drivers education --",
"Licensing would involve a permit, perhaps graduated, allowing the holder the privilege of purchasing, possessing and consuming alcohol, as each state determined, so long as the holder had passed an alcohol education course and observed the alcohol laws of the issuing state.",
"Most of the rest of the world has come out in a different place on the drinking age.",
"The United States is one of only four countries -- the others are Indonesia, Mongolia and Palau -- with an age as high as 21.",
"All others either have no minimum age or have a lower age, generally 18, with some at 16.",
"Young adults know that.",
"And, in Young adults's heart of hearts, Young adults also know that a law perceived as unjust, a law routinely violated, can over time breed disrespect for law in general.",
"Slowly but surely we may be seeing a change in attitude.",
"This summer, Dr. Morris Chafetz, a distinguished psychiatrist, a member of the presidential commission that recommended raising the drinking age, and the founder of the National Institute for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse admitted that supporting the higher drinking age is \"the most regrettable decision of my entire professional career.\"",
"This remarkable statement did not receive the attention This remarkable statement merited.",
"Alcohol is a reality in the lives of young adults.",
"We can either try to change the reality -- which has been our principal focus since 1984, by imposing Prohibition on young adults 18 to 20 -- or we can create the safest possible environment for the reality.",

"KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) --",
"The U.S. military bombed about 300 tons of poppy seeds in a dusty field in southern Afghanistan Tuesday in a dramatic show of force designed to break up the Taliban's connection to heroin.",
"The U.S. military bombed about 300 tons of poppy seeds in a dusty field in southern Afghanistan Tuesday.",
"The air strike occurred mid-day in Helmand province and was observed by CNN's Ivan Watson, who is embedded with the U.S. Marines operating in Helmand province.",
"The U.S. military dropped a series of 1,000-pound bombs from planes on the mounds of poppy seeds and then followed with strikes from helicopters.",
"Tony Wayne, with the U.S. State Department, said the strikes on poppy seeds, that can be used to make opium and heroin, is part of a strategy shift for The U.S. military to stop the Taliban and other insurgents from profiting from drugs.",
"Watch U.S. military bomb poppy seeds » .",
"\"There is a nexus that needs to be broken between the insurgents and the drug traffickers,\" Tony Wayne said.",
"\"Also, it is part of winning the hearts and minds of the population because in some cases they are intimidated into growing poppies.\"",
"In a bid to encourage Afghan farmers to swap out Afghan farmers's poppy plants for wheat crops the U.S. Agency for International Development has been offering Afghan farmers seeds, fertilizers and improved irrigation.",
"Observers have noticed a significant decline in the opium trade in Afghanistan, with the number of poppy-free provinces increasing from 13 in 2007 to 18 in 2008, according to a U.N. report released last year.",
"Opium cultivation in the country, which has 34 provinces, dropped by about 20 percent in a year, the U.N. reported in August.",

"\"At the end of the day, what we found is successful is that we work in areas that we can work,\" Rory Donohoe, a USAID development officer told CNN in a recent interview in Helmand province.",
"\"We come to places like this demonstration farm where Afghans can come here to a safe environment, get training, pick up seeds and fertilizer, then go back to districts of Afghans's own.\"",
"Watch Afghans speak about the change in Afghans's farming practices » .",
"Many of Afghanistan's northern and eastern provinces have already benefited from USAID alternative farming programs, which have doled out more than $22 million to nearly 210,000 Afghans to build or repair 435 miles (700 kilometers) of roads and some 2,050 miles (3,300 kilometers) of irrigation and drainage canals.",
"Giving Afghan farmers improved access to markets and improved irrigation is successfully weaning Afghan farmers away from poppy production, according to officials at USAID.",
"Over the years, opium and heroin -- both derivatives of the poppy -- have served as a major source of revenue for the insurgency, most notably the Taliban movement that once ruled Afghanistan.",
"\"If you can just help the people of Afghanistan in this way, the fighting will go away,\" said Abdul Qadir, a farmer in Lashkar Gah.",
"\"The Taliban and other enemies of Afghanistan will also disappear.\"",
