"WEST PARK, Florida (CNN) --",
"\"We are an army,\" says Andrea Ivory of the group gathered with Ivory early on a Saturday morning.",
"Breast cancer survivor Ivory is on a mission to educate Florida communities about the disease, one door at a time.",
"Armed with clipboards, leaflets and high spirits, Ivory leads Ivory into the neighborhood, where Ivory start knocking on doors.",
"The mood is lighthearted, but Ivory's mission is serious: to save lives, one house at a time.",
"Ivory're volunteers from the Florida Breast Health Initiative, or FBHI, and Ivory are waging war against breast cancer.",
"It's an effort started by Ivory, 50, herself a survivor of the disease.",
"Every weekend in the spring and fall, Ivory and Ivory's volunteers -- who include college students, senior citizens and suburban moms, all wearing matching T-shirts -- fan out across low-income communities in southern Florida, educating women about breast health.",
"They especially seek out uninsured women age 35 and older, who statistics show are twice as likely to be diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer, and thus more likely to die from the disease.",
"For Ivory, comparing this work to a battle isn't overblown.",
"\"The only thing that we have to fight the disease and lower the mortality rate is early detection,\" Ivory says.",
"\"We are the troops on the front lines.\"",
"Since 2006, Ivory has helped provide more than 500 mammograms to eligible women.",
"Ivory had always been diligent about getting annual mammograms, but when the breast cancer diagnosis came in 2004, Ivory took the breast cancer diagnosis in stride.",
"\"I just knew that the breast cancer diagnosis was for a higher purpose,\" Ivory recalls.",
"Ivory says that purpose became clear during Ivory's cancer treatment.",
"Reflecting on how lucky Ivory was to have health insurance and to have gotten annual mammograms, Ivory realized that thousands of women without health care were likely falling through the cracks and putting thousands of women without health care at risk.",
"\"thousands of women without health care don't even have a fighting chance,\" Ivory says.",
"\"The mission became reach[ing] those women.\"",
"Ivory started FBHI to do just that.",
"Ivory's mantra: \"Early detection is the best protection.\"",
"Do you know someone who should be a CNN Hero?",
"Nominations are open at CNN.com/Heroes .",
"The operation runs like clockwork.",
"The first three Saturdays of each month are devoted to outreach -- distributing educational materials and signing up women for free mammograms.",
"Ivory and Ivory's volunteers have visited nearly 18,000 homes.",
"\"I love knocking on doors,\" Ivory says with a smile.",
"\"I like to think of us as little pixies spreading breast cancer awareness.\"",
"On the last Saturday of each month, a large mobile mammography van from a partner hospital rolls into the neighborhood, bringing screening technology directly to women who need it.",
"As they line up around the van, the excitement is palpable.",
"Since many have never had a mammogram, Ivory and Ivory's team try to make the experience fun -- providing refreshments, smiles and support.",
"One mammogram recipient said the \"convenience factor\" of the free screenings made the offer too hard to refuse.",
"\"Ultimately this is the reason we do the work that we do,\" says Ivory, \"because we want to screen women who would not ordinarily have [the] opportunity.\"",
"Watch Ivory and her army in action » .",
"Telmilda Ariza, 62, always had health insurance, but after losing Ariza's job, Ariza's annual mammogram became a financial burden.",
"Ariza smiles when recalling the volunteers' first visit to Ariza's home.",
"\"They knocked on my door and, wow!",
"It was [a] miracle, coming from the sky,\" Ariza says.",
"\"It's something I really needed.\"",
"Ariza was so grateful that Ariza started volunteering and knocking on doors Ariza.",
"Watch Ariza describe how Ariza went from recipient to volunteer » .",
"Charlene Thomas, another of Ivory's regular volunteers, considers herself living proof of the program's impact.",
"Uninsured, she'd paid for her mammogram out of her own pocket, but when she needed a follow-up, she kept putting it off because it was so expensive.",
"\"I had other priorities.",
"It seems stupid now,\" she admits.",
"\"But I didn't think anything was wrong with me.\"",
"She finally asked Ivory for help and FBHI paid for the screening.",
"It led Thomas to a cancer diagnosis and ultimately a mastectomy.",
"\"The fact that I was diagnosed and am cancer free -- there's no way I would've done it without the Florida Breast Health Initiative,\" says Thomas, who was back knocking on doors three weeks after surgery.",
"\"Now I feel more of a sense of urgency.",
"I'm knocking on doors trying to find myself.\"",
"Stories like this only deepen Ivory's commitment to Ivory's cause.",
"For Ivory, every day is a chance to educate women about fighting the disease and Ivory says Ivory's determined to expand Ivory's efforts around Florida and far beyond the boundaries of Ivory's state.",
"Watch Ivory's group bring mobile mammography to the neighborhoods » .",
"\"In the future, Ivory want a fleet of mammogram vans.",
"Ivory'd love to do outreaches all over the country,\" Ivory says.",
"\"No woman needs to die from breast cancer.",
"I can't be a doctor, but I know I can save a life.",
"Every time I knock on the door, it's a chance to do that.\"",
"Want to get involved?",
"Check out The Florida Breast Health Initiative and see how to help."

"Noah Parton, 6, got prosthetics from foundation started by Jordan Thomas, right.",
"\"It was a beautiful day and we were going to go out spear fishing that night,\" said Jordan Thomas.",
"But when Jordan Thomas jumped into the water, the boat's wake dragged Jordan Thomas hard into its sharp, whirling propellers.",
"Jordan Thomas immediately knew what was about to happen.",
"\"I looked down -- my black fins were gone and all I saw was red just everywhere,\" said Thomas, an athletic teen who was captain of Jordan Thomas's high school's golf team.",
"\"But I had this unbelievable calmness over my body.\"",
"Watch video of Jordan Thomas telling Jordan Thomas's story » .",
"Jordan Thomas's father and mother, both doctors from CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, jumped into action.",
"\"All of a sudden, my 16-year old, happy-go-lucky captain of the golf team was potentially dying,\" said Dr. Liz Kennedy-Thomas.",
"Dr. Liz Kennedy-Thomas worked to stanch the blood flow from Dr. Liz Kennedy-Thomas's son's legs while his father rushed the boat to shore and fetched paramedics.",
"Jordan Thomas was rushed to a hospital where Jordan Thomas spent the next two weeks -- undergoing several surgeries on what was left of Jordan Thomas's legs and, along the way, discovering what would become Jordan Thomas's life's work.",
"While there, Jordan Thomas visited other amputees.",
"\"I just remember seeing so many kids who didn't have parents, didn't have health care,\" Jordan Thomas said.",
"\"I just knew that the future was grim for so many kids who didn't have parents.\"",
"The top-of-the-line prosthetics Jordan Thomas was fitted with -- the ones that helped Jordan Thomas return to the golf links -- cost about $22,000.",
"Jordan Thomas learned that many insurance plans only cover about $5,000.",
"That's especially tough on child amputees, who will outgrow several limbs before adulthood.",
"\"I had no clue,\" Jordan Thomas said.",
"\"It's one of those things, unless you're affected by it, you just don't know.\"",
"Jordan Thomas knew Jordan Thomas was lucky.",
"With a financially stable family, Jordan Thomas'll always be able to afford good legs.",
"Jordan Thomas asked Jordan Thomas's family to give a donation to help others, but ultimately a financially stable family decided to launch a fundraising foundation together.",
"\"By the time a financially stable family got home, a financially stable family had bracelets -- all kinds of stuff,\" Dr. Liz Kennedy-Thomas said.",
"\"a fundraising foundation was just sort of started by the time a financially stable family got home.\"",
"a fundraising foundation has raised $350,000 through bracelets, charity golf tournaments and cookouts.",
"Some of that is paying for prosthetics for three children until three children reach age 18.",
"One of three children is Noah Parton.",
"The precocious 6-year-old born with a congenital heart defect had a complication with a tube inserted in Noah's right leg, leading to an amputation above Noah's knee.",
"Noah's family's insurance would only pay for what's called a \"stubby\" -- a wooden artificial leg without a bendable knee.",

"And even day-to-day activities were tough.",
"\"It was hard to put Noah in the car because Noah's leg stuck out straight and I'd have my seat up as far as my seat would go and it would still hit the back of my seat,\" his mom said.",
"Thomas's foundation stepped in, buying Noah several knee devices -- a new one for each new leg Noah needs as Noah grows.",
"Now, Noah's mom said, Noah is unstoppable.",

"\"It's pretty simple,\" Rep. Robert Andrews, a New Jersey Democrat said.",
"\"Prosthetic devices are not cosmetic.",
"You can't walk without one or you can't lift something without one and I think one of the reasons people are so upset about the health care system in the nation is people had hassles like this.\"",
"Seventeen states have passed similar laws, most recently Missouri.",
"But amputee advocates say there needs to be a national law.",
"Kendra Calhoun, president and CEO of the Amputee Coalition of America, says there are 1.8 million amputees in the nation and at least 25,000 of them are children.",
"Kendra Calhoun, president and CEO of the Amputee Coalition of America said that with more sweeping healthcare legislation taking all the attention, \"our biggest hurdle [for a prosthetics law] right now is being heard.\"",
"Some insurance companies have argued that premiums would go up for everyone if Some insurance companies're forced to cover prosthetics to the extent advocates want.",
"Advocates cite a study Advocates say shows it would cost beneficiaries about five cents per month.",
"Meanwhile Jordan, who's now a junior in college, says he'd like to become a voice for otherwise voiceless children.",
"\"I'd really like to move into advocacy, giving a voice to the amputee community and just helping as many people as possible,\" he said.",
"\"Just making a difference and letting these kids live normal and happy, productive lives.\"",

"MADRID, Spain (CNN) --",
"Matador Joselito Ortega is breaking tradition and carrying advertising on Matador Joselito Ortega's capes in the bullring -- promoting a soft drink aimed at gays",
"Matador Joselito Ortega in an exhibition fight on Sept. 23 in the southern Spanish city of Malaga.",
"While fighting bulls, Matador Joselito Ortega will use capes embroidered with the words \"Gay Up,\" the name of the energy drink.",
"The move has many in the macho-steeped world of bullfighting seeing red.",
"But Ortega, 29, told CNN, \"I'm glad to be the first person (in bullfighting) whom the gay community will take as an icon.\"",
"\"People think the bullfighter is very tough, very rude and People only like women,\" Matador Joselito Ortega added.",
"\"But we are in 2009.",
"Everything must change.\"",
"Industry experts said it would be the first time advertising will appear on bullfighter's capes -- the large one used when the bull rushes into the ring, and a smaller one used later as the matador moves in for the kill.",
"In the 1980s, matador Luis Reina had a contract showing the brand name of Japanese electronics giant Akai on parts of matador Luis Reina's shiny \"suit of lights,\" while fighting.",
"\"But that lasted just one or two fights,\" recalls Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez.",
"Cayetano Rivero Ordonez has declined offers to carry publicity on Cayetano Rivero Ordonez's bullfighter's suit and capes while in the ring, Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez said, out of respect for \"the ritual of bullfighting.\"",
"\"The cape is a sacred thing,\" said Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez, adding that it's fine for premier bullfighters -- who are treated like rock stars -- to have lucrative endorsement deals for products, but only outside of the ring.",
"This is the first endorsement deal of any kind for Matador Joselito Ortega.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega became a full matador in 2006, facing the biggest bulls, but said Matador Joselito Ortega's fought only six or seven fights since then.",
"Yet a bullfighter in demand can have dozens of fights in just a single season.",
"\"Matador Joselito Ortega is a new bullfighter and Matador Joselito Ortega might see this as a way to get known,\" Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez said.",
"If so, it appears to be working.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega and Matador Joselito Ortega's drinks company have been flooded with media queries since Ortega and his drinks company made the announcement this week.",
"Pedro Suarez, the CEO at Grupo Banus Pi, the firm that makes Gay Up and took over management of Matador Joselito Ortega's career just two weeks ago, said they plan to organize an exhibition fight for Matador Joselito Ortega soon, and sell the TV rights exclusively.",
"Gay Up is a non-alcoholic energy drink made in Spain, drawn from a formula originally from Colombia.",
"Suarez said the company tried to sponsor a Spanish football (soccer) team but was turned down because of the Gay Up brand.",
"Then they found Ortega, who says Matador Joselito Ortega's not gay.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega's been gored six or seven times in Matador Joselito Ortega's career, which started 13 years ago as a junior bullfighter.",
"\"All sports teams have advertising on All sports teams's uniforms,\" Matador Joselito Ortega said, insisting Matador Joselito Ortega'd continue to fight bulls the same way, even with ads on Matador Joselito Ortega's capes.",
"Bull breeder Juan Pedro Domecq Morenes welcomed the change, saying it might help revive Spain's billion-dollar bullfighting industry, which Bull breeder Juan Pedro Domecq Morenes said in recent years has seen a 45 percent decline in the number of fights, especially in smaller village bullrings.",
"\"Only God is sacred,\" said Domecq, who also publishes a bullfighting Web site.",
"\"The rest of the traditions have to advance, modernize.\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Hundreds of thousands of children worldwide are thought to be working full-time on tobacco farms, suffering from toxic levels of nicotine exposure and abusive labor conditions.",
"Children as young as five-years-old work on tobacco farms in Malawi, according to Plan International.",
"In Malawi there are an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting.",
"On average an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting earn 17 cents for a 12-hour day of back-breaking, bare-handed work, according to a recent report from Plan International.",
"Handling burley tobacco leaves without gloves, in unwashed clothes and rarely bathing, an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting can absorb the same amount of nicotine in one day of harvesting that an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting would from smoking 50 cigarettes.",
"\"Sometimes it feels like you don't have enough breath...",
"You reach a point where you cannot breathe because of the pain in your chest.",
"Then the blood comes when you vomit.",
"At the end, most of this dies and then you remain with a headache,\" a recent report from Plan International quoted one child describing how he felt at the end of the day.",
"See pictures of Malawi's child tobacco farmers » .",
"\"Nicotine is water soluble and can enter via the skin, so if it has recently rained, or there is heavy dew, the nicotine migrates into the water on the leaf.",
"If the water on the leaf gets on to your shirt the water on the leaf essentially becomes a giant nicotine patch,\" explained Henry Spiller of the Kentucky Regional Poison Center.",
"After reading a recent report from Plan International, Spiller, who has researched Green Tobacco Sickness (GTS) in children working on tobacco farms in the U.S., told CNN that the Malawi children's symptoms were \"absolutely\" consistent with GTS.",
"The Minister of Labor for Malawi, Yunnus Mussa, has denied the findings of a recent report from Plan International and told CNN their figures were \"absolute trash.\"",
"According to Mussa, the government has been hard at work with UNICEF for the past two years to eliminate child labor and has made substantial progress.",
"\"No estate-owner has ever employed children age five to 14,\" he added.",
"In 2007 UNICEF estimated that 29 percent of children ages five to 14-years-old in Malawi worked, and that the majority of those children worked in agriculture.",
"There are more than 30,000 smallholder farmers in tobacco production and the crop contributes 70 percent of foreign exchange and 30 percent of GDP, according to the government Web site.",
"Figures aside, the pictures speak for the pictures, showing that the danger of nicotine poisoning is real and that better regulation and monitoring is needed.",
"\"There are a couple of things that could prevent this, like you should wash or change shirts,\" Spiller said, citing a study in which sweat rung out from tobacco workers' shirts contained up to 98mcg/mL of nicotine.",
"As well as exploitative conditions, an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting described repeated physical and sexual abuse from an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting's supervisors.",
"Many of the kids also complained of \"sticky stuff\" from the stalks that the kids could not wash off the kids's hands because the kids had no access to soap or water, according to Glynis Clacherty, who interviewed the children first-hand for the Plan report.",
"\"We are busy working and we don't have time to go for bathing, so we develop those sores,\" one 15-year-old girl told Clacherty.",
"an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting were working full-time on both large estates and small family farms, but none were working for their own families, and 36 of an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting were orphans.",
"The main reason an estimated 78,000 boys and girls employed in tobacco harvesting gave for working was poverty: lack of food, clothing or money to go to school were frequently cited.",
"\"A lot think it's fine for children to work.",
"They don't see the dangers of the pesticides or the opportunity cost of not going to school,\" said Susan Gunn, an expert in hazardous child labor at the International Labor Organization (ILO), referring to farmers in East Africa.",
"\"The new globalization of agriculture has a tendency to increase the demand for child labor,\" explained Susan Gunn, an expert in hazardous child labor at the International Labor Organization (ILO).",
"When you have growers that are working under contract to larger companies, in industries such as tobacco, sugar or flowers, the contract is made with the adults, who in turn use their families to reach a quota or get a livable income.\"",
"In recent years multinational tobacco corporations have been rapidly shifting farming production away from rich countries like the United States.",
"Nearly 75 percent of tobacco production is now done in developing countries such as Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, China, Brazil and India.",
"Re-location to poorer states by multinational firms increases the demand for all types of labor their, not just that of children, according to Professor Margaret McMillan of Tufts University.",
"If anything, Professor Margaret McMillan of Tufts University argues, increased investment can actually bring higher salaries and improved monitoring of abuse. \"If children are working in the tobacco fields, children are probably very poor and the alternatives could be even worse,\" Professor Margaret McMillan of Tufts University said.",
"\"I firmly believe that engagement by international corporations in African agriculture must happen, but international corporations should be monitored on all fronts.\"",
"Today UNICEF, the ILO, Plan International and others all remain active in Malawi, working with Malawi to develop links between the ministries of labor and agriculture to end child labor on tobacco farms.",
"Since the report came out in August, Plan International told CNN in an email that \"Malawi has been constructive in Malawi's response and are discussing/looking to work with Plan International to conduct a national survey to gauge the true scale of the issue and better enforcement of existing child labor laws.\""

"In just a few short weeks, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach could wake up at Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's home in Englewood, New Jersey, with Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi camped a few feet from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's front lawn.",
"Gadhafi may be staying in a tent on the front lawn of a New Jersey house owned by the Libyan Mission.",
"The authoritarian ruler of Libya is rumored to be planning to stay in an air-conditioned tent on the front lawn of a house owned by the Libyan Mission when Gadhafi attends the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September.",
"Members of the predominately Orthodox Jewish Englewood community are less than enthused about a visit from a leader who has made anti-Zionist statements in the past.",
"The recent release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber to Libya has heightened the animosity.",
"On Monday, Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-New Jersey, called for the U.S. Department of State to restrict Gadhafi's travel to the area around U.N. headquarters in New York City, saying in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he \"was particularly concerned by news reports indicating that [Gadhafi] plans to stay in New Jersey, where the families of many Pan Am 103 victims reside.\"",
"A representative from the Libyan Mission in New York would not confirm Gadhafi will stay in Englewood, only that Gadhafi is scheduled to come to New York.",
"Gadhafi has a history of setting up Gadhafi's extensive tent when visiting other countries, including Russia and France.",
"Media reports have said that Gadhafi's request to pitch Gadhafi's tent in Central Park had been denied, and the New Jersey property was a likely second choice.",
"Rabbi Shmuley Boteach said Rabbi Shmuley Boteach had previously been willing to approach Gadhafi's rumored visit with an open mind, but Rabbi Shmuley Boteach backtracked after the Lockerbie bomber's release.",
"\"Judging by Gadhafi's actions, Gadhafi hasn't changed one iota,\" Rabbi Shmuley Boteach said.",
"\"Gadhafi loves terrorists and welcomes terrorists as heroes and speaks with a forked tongue.",
"As soon as Gadhafi had the opportunity Gadhafi lionized people who committed murderous acts.",
"Gadhafi is a fraud.",
"I don't want Gadhafi or Gadhafi's security team near my home.\"",
"Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes said Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes was not informed of plans to erect a tent on the Libyan Mission, and no special permissions were requested from the zoning department.",
"Only through neighborhood residents and media coverage was Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes alerted to construction on the house that, according to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, began around three months ago.",
"Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes said Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes was \"mortified as a Jew and embarrassed as an American that a financier of terrorism is on U.S. soil.",
"[Gadhafi] is someone who has embraced terrorism and has not changed his spots.\"",
"Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes said the Libyan Mission has \"not paid a nickel\" on taxes for the Libyan Mission, and said Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes would only be \"willing to sit down with Gadhafi if Gadhafi brings a check to cover years of back taxes and overtime pay for the additional police forces needed for Gadhafi's stay, and apologizes to the Jewish residents and the Lockerbie victims' families of New Jersey.\"",
"Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, in a piece posted Thursday on The Huffington Post, where Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is a regular contributor, said the residence had been left \"derelict and neglected\" for many years until the recent construction.",
"In opposition to Gadhafi's possible visit to Englewood, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach said Rabbi Shmuley Boteach plans several steps, including legal action, which Rabbi Shmuley Boteach said would be in response to construction workers knocking down Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's fence and cutting down Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's trees.",
"\"My plan is to sue them, extract as much money as possible and use Libyan money for planting trees instead of buying bombs,\" Rabbi Shmuley Boteach wrote in another The Huffington Post piece Monday.",
"Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and Wildes also are planning a protest at the construction site on Sunday."

"As president of South Korea, Kim helped bridge differences with North Korea.",
"Kim was either 83 or 85, according to conflicting sources.",
"The Nobel Prize Web site indicates Kim was born on December 3, 1925.",
"The Kim presidential library lists Kim's birth date as January 5, 1924.",
"Kim served as president from 1998 to 2003, and in 2000, Kim won the Nobel Peace Prize for fostering better relations between North Korea and South Korea.",
"Kim was admitted to Seoul's Severance Hospital more than a month ago for pneumonia.",
"Before winning the presidency, Kim struggled for decades as an opposition leader.",
"A former political prisoner, Kim endured a suspected assassination attempt, a kidnapping, repeated arrests, beatings, exile and a death sentence.",
"Shortly after taking office, Kim vigorously met political leaders of Western countries in a bid to gain support for Kim's \"Sunshine Policy\" to establish relations with North Korea.",
"Kim's policy of detente culminated when Kim met North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in June 2000, becoming the first South Korean leader to do so since the Korean War unofficially ended in 1953.",
"But Kim left a mixed legacy as president.",
"Although Kim helped pull South Korea out of a financial downward spiral, many of Kim's promised economic reforms failed to materialize.",
"A series of corruption scandals, including the imprisonment of two sons on graft charges, also tainted Kim's tenure.",
"\"Broadly speaking, Kim's place in history is going to be a positive one,\" said Brian Bridges, a political science professor at Hong Kong's Lingnan University who specializes in politics and foreign policies of the two Koreas.",
"\"While it is true that Kim's presidency ended in a cloud of controversy ... Kim did have a very significant impact in two ways: Kim took over at a time when South Korea was on South Korea's knees and pulled South Korea out from a tremendous economic downturn.",
"And Kim helped in significantly changing public opinion and popular thinking of South Koreans toward North Korea.\"",
"Kim was born to middle-class farmers on Ha Enido, a small island in South Cholla province, but the family moved to the nearby port of Mokpo so Kim could complete high school.",
"Kim began dabbling in anti-establishment politics while working in the shipping industry.",
"After Kim's fifth try for political office, Kim was elected to the National Assembly in 1961.",
"One month later, Gen. Park Chung-hee seized control of the government in a military coup, launching Kim's career as a key opposition figure.",
"The tough, authoritarian Park proved the perfect foil for the fiery oratory of Kim.",
"The more Park persecuted Kim, the more Kim's popularity grew.",
"During the height of the Vietnam War in 1971, Kim proclaimed Kim's liberal views on the reunification of North and South Korea.",
"the government branded Kim a communist, but in Kim's first presidential race Kim won 46 percent of the vote against Park.",
"Kim was headed to a rally in Seoul a month after the election when a truck turned directly into the path of Kim's car, forcing Kim off the road.",
"a truck hit another vehicle, killing two people.",
"Kim was left with a permanent limp from the incident, which was widely considered an assassination attempt.",
"Park tightened Park's hold in 1972, scrapping the constitution and doing away with any pretense of democratic rule.",
"Kim traveled to Japan for medical treatment and continued Kim's anti-Park campaign.",
"In August 1973, South Korean agents kidnapped Kim from a Tokyo hotel and took Kim out to sea in a small boat, on which Kim spent several harrowing days.",
"When then-U.S. Ambassador Philip Habib was informed of the abduction, then-U.S. Ambassador Philip Habib warned Park that he would face severe repercussions from the United States if Kim were killed.",
"Kim was returned to Kim's Seoul home, battered but alive, and spent the next nine years under house arrest, in jail or in exile.",
"In 1979 Park was assassinated by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency.",
"Another general, Chun Doo-hwan, imposed martial law as Park moved to take over the presidency.",
"Kim and other leading opposition figures were arrested as tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Kwangju, in South Cholla province.",
"Troops used force to quell the demonstrations, killing at least 200 people, by some estimates.",
"Kim was charged with sedition and nearly executed, but again the United States intervened.",
"Under a deal with then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan's administration, Kim boarded a plane to the United States in 1982.",
"When Kim returned to Kim's homeland a few years later, however, the United States could not help Kim.",
"As soon as Kim stepped off the plane in Seoul, Kim was knocked down by Korean security officers and dragged back into house arrest.",
"Kim made two more failed bids for president -- in 1987 and 1992 -- before declaring that Kim was quitting politics.",
"Kim's retirement did not last long and Kim was elected president in 1997, at the height of the Asian economic crisis.",
"Kim's inauguration marked the first peaceful transfer of power between rival parties in 50 years.",
"At the time of Kim's inauguration, Korea was plunging headlong into a financial crisis.",
"Kim told CNN then that Kim felt as though Kim was handed an empty vault.",
"Kim called on global investors to have faith in Kim's country's future -- and on Kim's people to forge his people's own recovery.",
"Thousands answered, trading in gold rings for cash as a symbol of Thousands's desire to revive Thousands's country.",
"The watershed moment of Kim's presidency came in June 2000 when he met North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, grasping hands and beaming.",
"But rapprochement talks between the countries hit a wall after conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak took office in early 2008, with a tougher stance toward the North than Kim and Kim's successor, Roh Moo-hyun.",
"In an interview with CNN in 2006, Kim looked back on Kim's long political life, secure in the belief that -- despite setbacks -- Kim's convictions were worth fighting for.",
"\"After I was sentenced to death, people from the military regime came up to Kim and said, 'If you cooperate with us, we will let you live.",
"If you don't cooperate, you will die.'",
"\"I said, 'If I compromise with you, I'll live temporarily, but I will die forever.",
"If I do not cooperate with you, my body will be dead, but I will live in my people's heart and history forever.",
"I rather choose to live in history forever.'\"",

"The \"vast right-wing conspiracy\" that attacked Clinton during Clinton's presidency has been weakened, but continues to operate against Obama, Clinton said Sunday.",
"Clinton said Republicans won't see a 1994-like surge at the polls in 2010.",
"On NBC's \"Meet the Press,\" Clinton was asked about the term Clinton's wife Hillary Clinton, now secretary of state, famously coined.",
"\"Is it still there?\" host David Gregory asked.",
"\"Oh, you bet.",
"Sure it is.",
"It's not as strong as it was, because America's changed demographically, but it's as virulent as it was,\" the former president replied.",
"\"I mean, they're saying things about him [Obama] -- you know, it's like when they accused me of murder and all that stuff they did,\" Clinton said, in an apparent reference to conspiracy theories surrounding the suicide of White House deputy counsel Vince Foster.",
"\"It's not really good for the Republicans and America, what's going on now,\" Clinton said.",
"\"I mean, they may be hurting Obama.",
"They can take Obama's numbers down, they can run Obama's opposition up.",
"But fundamentally, Obama and Obama's team have a positive agenda for America.\"",
"America needs \"a credible debate about what's the right balance between continuing to expand the economy through stimulus and beginning to move back to fiscal balance,\" Clinton said.",
"\"We need a credible debate about what's the best way to get to universal [health care] coverage.\"",
"Clinton was asked whether Clinton is concerned that the 2010 midterm elections could resemble those of 1994, when Republicans took control of the House and Senate two years into Clinton's first term.",
"\"There's no way\" that could happen, Clinton said, adding that \"America is more diverse and more interested in positive action.\"",
"Also, Clinton said, Republicans had control of Congress for several years under President George W. Bush, \"and Republicans know the results were bad.\"",

"At the heart of Florida researchers' high-tech efforts to protect black bears is a rather low-tech tool: day-old doughnuts.",
"A young bear sits next to a pine tree after being snared by one of the traps set by researchers.",
"Researchers use the doughnuts and other stale pastries to bait traps for bears.",
"Once snared, bears are tranquilized and then fitted with a GPS collar.",
"Using cell phone technology, every 15 minutes the collar sends a text message that tells researchers where the bear is located.",
"Tracking bears's movements -- or lack thereof -- is important.",
"Dr. John Cox, head of the South-Central Florida Bear Project, said the bear population, in order to stay healthy, must be able to travel to different locations throughout Florida.",
"They need to travel between different bear populations.",
"But that mobility has been decreasing.",
"There was a time, Dr. John Cox, head of the South-Central Florida Bear Project said, when the bears were free to roam Florida.",
"As development increased, however, the black bear lost much of the black bear's habitat.",
"And its habitat has become more fragmented due to development, primarily roads.",
"The result: the bears become more isolated, with inbreeding within that isolated population.",
"\"the bears is actually losing genetic diversity,\" Dr. John Cox, head of the South-Central Florida Bear Project said.",
"\"You see that loss of healthy genes in the bears over time.",
"\"That is a sign of isolation.\"",
"Having the bears wear the GPS collars is \"wonderful because the bears are telling us what habitat we need to protect,\" said Tricia Martin of The Nature Conservancy.",
"As of now, 55 black bears in the area have been fitted with collars.",

"Researchers want to know whether the bears's travels have them crossing a road, an orange grove, or somewhere else in order to get from place to place.",
"Collecting data on the corridors the bears need to travel will help in pinpointing what land should be sought for conservation purposes.",
"But first the bears must be snared -- and that's where the doughnuts come in.",
"\"The doughnuts are a good bait, The doughnuts can smell and it'll bring The doughnuts in,\" said Wade Ulrey, one of the researchers with the South-Central Florida Bear Project.",
"Recently a young female bear was found in a snare trap -- lured there by The doughnuts, or perhaps the brownie with whipped cream and a cherry that also had been placed there.",
"Ulrey and fellow University of Kentucky research scientist Joe Guthrie slowly approached a young female bear.",
"The animal, with a cable around its paw, tried to climb a pine tree to escape.",
"See photos of a snared bear » .",
"The researchers waited for a young female bear to calm down, then The researchers injected a young female bear with a tranquilizer that was at the end of an 8-foot-long pole.",
"As The researchers waited for the drug to take effect, Ulrey and Joe Guthrie returned to The researchers's truck to gather the tools The researchers needed to examine a young female bear.",
"\"We have a couple of bags of ice here to help keep a young female bear cool,\" Ulrey said as Ulrey placed the bags under the legs and arms of a young female bear.",
"The team scanned the 2½-year-old and realized a young female bear already had a microchip implanted under a young female bear's skin.",
"\"It's similar to an ID system used for pets,\" said Ulrey.",
"The chip tells The researchers that a young female bear was caught in 2007, when a young female bear was a cub still roaming Florida with a young female bear's mother.",
"The researchers weighed and measured a young female bear.",
"Then Ulrey used tweezers to pull out a bit of hair.",
"\"We can get a DNA sample from this to see if a young female bear is related to any other bears we've captured in the area,\" Ulrey said.",
"a young female bear, however, won't be telling researchers where a young female bear will be traveling.",
"a young female bear is too young to be outfitted with a GPS collar.",
"Ninety minutes later, the tranquilizer wears off.",
"a young female bear is awake and appears unharmed.",
"\"Usually the things you'll see is a little bit of an abrasion where they've rubbed some of the fur off, or maybe a cut,\" Cox said when asked about the danger of using a snare trap.",
"As this young cub wanders off, the research team can only hope a young female bear finds a road less traveled -- and stays off the highways."

"JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police in east Jerusalem stretched into Sunday evening after a visit by a Jewish group to one of the city's holiest sites.",
"Israeli border police charge towards Palestinian protesters during clashes in Jerusalem's Old City.",
"Street battles began in Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday morning, when Palestinians praying at the site -- known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, or \"Noble Sanctuary,\" and to Jews as Temple Mount -- began to throw rocks at the visiting Jews, said Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.",
"Police responded with stun grenades and arrested eight demonstrators, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.",
"Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld also said two Palestinians and two police officers were wounded in the melee, but Sheikh Ikrima Sabri, a former grand mufti of Jerusalem, said nine Palestinians were hurt.",
"Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat called the visit a deliberate provocation by hardliners opposed to a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and criticized the police response to the protests.",
"Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat compared the visit to the 2000 trip by Ariel Sharon -- before he was elected prime minister -- to the al-Aqsa mosque that Palestinians blame for touching off three years of violence.",
"\"We've seen this before, and we know what the consequences are,\" Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said in a statement issued Sunday evening.",
"Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said the visit was \"deliberately timed\" on the eve of the anniversary of Ariel Sharon's September 28, 2000 visit.",
"There was no immediate response from the Israeli government to Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat's statement.",
"The demonstration was broken up about 1:30 p.m., but Palestinians continued battling police with rocks and Molotov cocktails for several hours in other parts of east Jerusalem.",
"Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said Israel was \"deliberately escalating tensions\" in Jerusalem at the same time that U.S. President Barack Obama is trying to coax the two sides into restarting talks aimed a permanent settlement of the decades-old conflict.",
"\"Providing a police escort for settlers who are against peace at all costs, and whose presence is deliberately designed to provoke a reaction, are not the actions of someone who is committed to peace, but of someone who will go to extraordinary lengths to scuttle all hopes of peace,\" Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said.",

"Editor's note: Peter Bergen, CNN's national security analyst, is a fellow at the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank that promotes innovative thought from across the ideological spectrum, and at New York University's Center on Law and Security.",
"Osama bin Laden's the author of \"The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of al Qaeda's Leader.\"",
"Peter Bergen says Osama bin Laden is still alive and still significant eight years after September 11.",
"HELMAND, Afghanistan (CNN) --",
"Eight years after September 11, the \"war on terror\" has gone the way of the dodo.",
"And President Obama talks instead about a war against al Qaeda and al Qaeda's allies.",
"What, then, of al Qaeda's enigmatic leader, Osama bin Laden, who has vanished like a wisp of smoke?",
"And does Osama bin Laden even matter now?",
"The U.S. government hadn't had a solid lead on al Qaeda's leader since the battle of Tora Bora in winter 2001.",
"Although there are informed hypotheses that today Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province on the Afghan border, perhaps in one of the more northerly areas such as Bajaur, these are essentially guesses, not \"actionable\" intelligence.",
"A longtime American counterterrorism analyst explained to me, \"There is very limited collection on him personally.\"",
"That's intelligence community shorthand for the fact that the usual avenues of \"collection\" on a target such as Osama bin Laden are yielding little or no information about Osama bin Laden.",
"the usual avenues of \"collection\" on a target such as bin Laden typically include signal intercepts of phone calls and e-mails, as well as human intelligence from spies.",
"Given the hundreds of billions of dollars that the \"war on terror\" has consumed, the failure to capture or kill al Qaeda's leader is one of its signal failures.",
"Does it even matter whether Osama bin Laden is found?",
"Yes, it does.",
"First, there is the matter of justice for the almost 3,000 people who died in the September 11 attacks and for the thousands of other victims of al Qaeda's attacks around the world.",
"Second, every day that Osama bin Laden remains at liberty is a propaganda victory for al Qaeda.",
"Third, although Osama bin Laden and Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri aren't managing al Qaeda's operations on a daily basis bin Laden and al-Zawahiri guide the overall direction of the jihadist movement around the world, even while bin Laden and al-Zawahiri are in hiding.",
"Those messages from al Qaeda's leaders have reached untold millions worldwide via television, the Internet and newspapers.",
"The tapes have not only instructed al Qaeda's followers to continue to kill Westerners and Jews, but some also carried specific instructions that militant cells then acted on.",
"In March 2008, for instance, Osama bin Laden denounced the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper as a \"catastrophe\" for which punishment would soon be meted out.",
"Three months later, an al Qaeda suicide attacker bombed the Danish Embassy in Islamabad, killing six.",
"Some reading this may think: But what's the proof that Osama bin Laden is still alive?",
"Plenty.",
"Since September 11, Osama bin Laden has released a slew of video and audiotapes, many of which discuss current events.",
"After a nine-month silence, for instance, Osama bin Laden released a 22-minute audiotape on March 14, sharply condemning the recent Israeli invasion of Gaza.",
"Are these tapes real?",
"Not one of the dozens of tapes released by Osama bin Laden after 9/11 has been a fake.",
"Indeed the U.S. government has authenticated many of them using Osama bin Laden's distinctive voiceprint.",
"And what about the persistent reports that he is ill?",
"In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Osama bin Laden had kidney disease, for which Osama bin Laden required a dialysis machine, and was therefore likely dead.",
"But the stories of Osama bin Laden's life-threatening kidney problems are false, judging by Osama bin Laden's appearance in videos that Osama bin Laden released in 2004 and again in 2007, in which Osama bin Laden showed no signs of illness.",
"On the 2007 tape, Osama bin Laden had even dyed Osama bin Laden's white-flecked beard black, suggesting that as the Saudi militant entered Osama bin Laden's fifth decade, Osama bin Laden was not immune to a measure of vanity about Osama bin Laden's personal appearance.",
"In fact, Osama bin Laden looked much better in those videos than Osama bin Laden did in the video Osama bin Laden released shortly after the battle of Tora Bora in late 2001, where Osama bin Laden had narrowly escaped being killed in a massive American attack.",
"The situation is further complicated by the fact that Osama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri are almost certainly hiding out in the tribal areas of Pakistan, on the Afghan border.",
"Arthur Keller, a CIA officer who ran a spy network in Pakistan's tribal areas in 2006, told me the problems of working in the region: \"It's an incredibly remote area.",
"They're hiding in a sea of people that are very xenophobic of outsiders, so it's a very, very tough nut to crack.\"",
"An additional factor operating in Osama bin Laden's favor is the personal popularity Osama bin Laden has long enjoyed in Pakistan.",
"Three years after the September 11 attacks, for instance, a Pew poll found that al Qaeda's leader had a 65 percent favorability rating among Pakistanis.",
"However, it is clear from the videos of Osama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri that aired in the years since the attacks that bin Laden and al-Zawahiri are not living in caves.",
"In those tapes, both men's clothes were clean and well-pressed.",
"Caves generally don't have laundry facilities.",
"And the videos that they have released are well-lit and well-shot productions, suggesting access either to electrical outlets or to generators to run lights.",
"al-Zawahiri is often filmed in a library setting, and on one of al-Zawahiri's videos from March 2006, there are curtains clearly visible behind al-Zawahiri, suggesting that the tape was shot in a house.",
"By early 2008, the Bush administration had tired of Pakistan's unwillingness or inability to take out al Qaeda's leaders, and in July, the president authorized Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults in the tribal regions without the permission of Pakistan.",
"But in the face of the intense Pakistani opposition to American boots on the ground, the Bush administration chose to rely instead on drones to target suspected al Qaeda and Taliban leaders.",
"Bush ordered the CIA to expand the CIA's attacks with Predator and Reaper drones.",
"Between July 2008 and this month, U.S. drones have killed dozens of lower-ranking militants and at least 10 mid- and upper-level leaders within al Qaeda or the Taliban.",
"This strategy seems to have worked, at least in terms of combating the ability of al Qaeda to plan or carry out attacks in the West.",
"Law-enforcement authorities have uncovered no serious plots against U.S. or European targets that were traceable to militants who had received training in Pakistan's tribal regions after the drone program had been dramatically ramped up there.",
"The increased pace of the American drone attacks in Pakistani's tribal areas was motivated in part by the hope that The increased pace of the American drone attacks in Pakistani's tribal areas would increase panicked communications among the militants, which might help pinpoint the locations of the top leaders in al Qaeda or the Taliban, but that approach has not paid off when it comes to Osama bin Laden.",
"If killing Osama bin Laden with a drone has proved difficult, so too will be capturing Osama bin Laden alive.",
"Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard Abu Jandal told Al Quds al Arabi newspaper, \"Osama bin Laden gave me a pistol.",
"... a pistol had only two bullets, for me to kill Osama bin Laden with in case we were surrounded or Osama bin Laden was about to fall into the enemy's hands, so that Osama bin Laden would not be caught alive \"",
"Should Osama bin Laden be captured or killed, that would probably trigger a succession battle within al Qaeda.",
"While al-Zawahiri is the deputy leader of the terror group and therefore technically Osama bin Laden's successor, al-Zawahiri is not regarded as a natural leader.",
"Indeed, even among al-Zawahiri's fellow Egyptian militants, al-Zawahiri is seen as a divisive force, and so al-Zawahiri is unlikely to be able to step into the role of leader of al Qaeda and of the world jihadist movement that is occupied by Osama bin Laden.",
"By the law of averages, eventually, Osama bin Laden will be captured or killed.",
"Yet the ideological movement that Osama bin Laden helped spawn -- \"Binladenism\" -- will live on long after Osama bin Laden is gone.",
"That is Osama bin Laden's legacy.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Peter Bergen."

"Landlines and other forms of communication are not as efficient, so Peter Gathungu and millions of others in emerging nations rely on mobile phones.",
"Charging the phones can be a headache in towns and villages where electricity is scarce.",
"Peter Gathungu's troubles may soon be over, though.",
"Kenya's biggest mobile phone company, Safaricom Ltd., launched the nation's first solar-charged phone this month.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"British government announced Friday that more than 4,000 former Gurkha soldiers are the measure to settle in Britain, but Gurkha supporters quickly denounced the measure as meaningless.",
"Former Gurkha solider Tulbahadur Pun was awarded Britain's highest honor for bravery, the Victoria Cross.",
"Supporters have fought for years for more rights for the Gurkhas, Nepalese soldiers who have been part of the British Army for nearly 200 years.",
"Gurkhas have fought alongside the British Armed Forces in every conflict in that period, including both world wars, and are known for Gurkhas's ferocity and pride.",
"Despite Gurkhas's centuries of service, Gurkhas were not given the right to settle in the United Kingdom until 2004.",
"And even then the order applied only to those discharged after the British handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, when the Gurkhas Brigade moved from Hong Kong to Britain.",
"British government's announcement Friday applies to all Gurkhas, including those who left the British Army before 1997, if they meet one of five criteria.",
"The government's announcement Friday also says around 6,000 of the Gurkhas' dependents may be able to apply for settlement in Britain as well.",
"\"The guidance honors the service, commitment, and gallantry of those who served with the Gurkhas Brigade,\" Border and Immigration Minister Phil Woolas said in a written statement.",
"The Gurkha Justice Campaign, however, said British government's criteria for the Gurkhas''s resettlement are unrealistic and too difficult for many of the soldiers to meet.",
"\"Only a tiny fraction of the Gurkhas who retired before 1997 will win settlement rights under the new policy,\" The Gurkha Justice Campaign said.",
"\"The Gurkha Justice Campaign will now be taken back into Parliament and the courts.",
"British government needs to know British government will have a huge campaign against them who will commit to righting this wrong.\"",
"The High Court ruled last September that the 1997 cut-off date was fair, but added that caseworkers needed revised guidance on deciding the cases of Gurkhas discharged before the 1997 cut-off date.",
"Under the guidance, Gurkhas discharged before 1997 must meet one of five criteria to be considered for resettlement in Britain: . • Have three years' continuous residence in Britain, before or after service; • Have close family settled in the UK; • Have an award for gallantry, leadership, or bravery while in the brigade; • Have a chronic medical condition attributable to or made worse by army service; • Have served for 20 or more years.",
"Actress Joanna Lumley, whose father served in the Gurkhas while Lumley was a girl, has been an outspoken campaigner for their rights.",
"Lumley said the new criteria are harsher than Lumley expected.",
"\"They've given five bullet points which virtually cannot be met by the ordinary Gurkha soldier,\" Lumley told reporters Friday.",
"\"This one page of criteria has taken the government four months to come up with.",
"This one page of criteria has made me ashamed of our administration.\"",
"Lumley said most Gurkhas are allowed to stay in the UK for only two years, so three years of continuous residence is not possible.",
"Most Gurkhas, Lumley said, also have not been allowed to settle in Britain with Most Gurkhas's families.",
"The requirement for having won an award discriminates against the ordinary soldier who has no award, Lumley said.",
"\"This sends out not only to the Gurkha soldiers, but to our own men fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, the most appalling message: that unless you have been awarded a medal for gallantry, you're not a real soldier,\" Lumley said.",
"Only officers are allowed to serve 20 or more years, Lumley said, so most riflemen will not qualify for the service requirement.",
"And proving that an injury is related to army service will be nearly impossible for most, Lumley said.",
"\"How on earth are men who were injured in the 1940s, '50s, '60s going to be able to prove that men who were injured in the 1940s's long-term chronic illness is attributable to injures received during men who were injured in the 1940s's service?\" Lumley said.",
"A Home Office spokesman said the government believes hundreds of Gurkhas will still be eligible to settle in Britain.",
"\"British government would not accept that,\" A Home Office spokesman said of Lumley's criticisms.",
"\"British government would say that the criteria as British government see it is fair and balanced.\"",
"the Gurkhas Brigade originated in the 19th century with Nepalese soldiers who impressed British imperial troops with their ferocity and military ability.",
"The first Gurkha units were formed in 1815.",
"The first Gurkha units saw action in both world wars and were fundamental to the British military maintaining control of India in the 1800s.",
"Today there are 3,400 troops in the Gurkhas Brigade, operating from bases in Britain.",

"A Kentucky Chihuahua is expected to make a full recovery after a freak accident that left a large barbecue fork lodged in Smokey's head for days, according to the animal hospital where Smokey was treated.",
"During a family gathering two weeks ago, 12-week-old Smokey was waiting to be fed as Smokey's owner used the fork to shoo another dog away from Smokey's food, Su Smith, vice president of Cumberland Valley Animal Hospital in London, Kentucky, wrote in an article on the hospital's Web site.",
"As owner Vickie Brumley of Manchester, Kentucky, waved the fork, the handle broke off and the fork end was flung through the air, embedding itself several inches into Smokey's head.",
"Smokey immediately ran into the woods, Smith wrote.",
"For two days, Smokey's owner's family searched for Smokey despite bad weather and finally came to the conclusion that Smokey had either died of Smokey's injury or been killed by wildlife.",
"Brumley's brother, Hughie Wagers, was visiting his sister and sitting on the porch when Smokey came up the driveway with the fork still sticking out of Smokey's head, Smith wrote.",
"He rushed him to the animal hospital.",
"\"They arrived at 6:59 p.m., right as we were about to lock up,\" hospital staffer Michelle Duncum told CNN.",
"\"Mr. Wagers walked into the animal hospital and asked if we could please help him.\"",
"Staffers were shocked when Staffers saw Smokey, she said.",
"\"We had never dealt with anything like this before.\"",
"Veterinarian Keaton Smith knew Smokey's treatment might be expensive and spoke with Wagers about options, Smith wrote.",
"Veterinarian Keaton Smith offered to treat Smokey at the animal hospital's expense if Wagers allowed the animal hospital to call media outlets about Smokey's story.",
"However, staffers wanted to make sure Smokey would live through the night first before calling anyone, Smith said.",
"It only took Veterinarian Keaton Smith about 30 seconds to remove the fork from Smokey's head, hospital staffer Michelle Duncum said.",
"And when Veterinarian Keaton Smith arrived at the animal hospital the next morning, July 8, Veterinarian Keaton Smith found Smokey \"recovering much better than expected,\" Smith wrote.",
"Smokey has been advised to take it easy for a few weeks, but is expected to fully recover, hospital staffer Michelle Duncum said.",
"Smokey's owner did not immediately return a call seeking comment from CNN.",
"\"Smith asks everyone who believes this is a cruelty case to 'please back off' and stop jumping to unfounded conclusions,\" Smith wrote.",
"\"If you have never had an accident of any kind, you may cast the first stone, but there will be no criminal charges filed in this case.\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Strange lights in the sky, mysterious flashes, dozens of witnesses, a missing wind turbine blade and a tabloid splash featuring the pun: E.T. farm harm.",
"The Sun tabloid newspaper's UFO splash.",
"Let's hope there isn't intelligent life out there watching us.",
"Britain's tabloid Sun newspaper Thursday proclaimed from Sun's front page that a wind turbine was ruined after UFO hit one of its 20 meter-long blades in Conisholme, Lincolnshire.",
"Dorothy Willows, who lives near a wind turbine, told Sun she was in her car when she saw the sky in the sky.",
"\"the sky were moving across the sky towards the wind farm.",
"Then I saw a low flying object.",
"a low flying object was skimming across the sky towards the turbines.\"",
"Apparently, hours later, she and her husband were woken by a big bang; one of the turbine's three blades had gone.",
"It, was, however, on the ground below.",
"Other locals told Sun that the sky looked like \"balls of flames.\"",
"Russ Kellett, a UFO expert, told Sun: \"Balls of light were seen in the sky and the MoD [Ministry of Defence] has no explanation.",
"It must have taken a pretty massive object.",
"We are very, very, very excited.\"",
"However, The Guardian newspaper's Web site content director Emily Bell had a simple explanation for all those \"balls of light\" in the sky.",
"The Guardian newspaper's Web site content director Emily Bell told The Guardian the sky were fireworks The Guardian newspaper's Web site content director Emily Bell's brother Tim had bought at the local garden center for the 80th birthday party of dad Peter Bell.",
"\"It was a medium-sized fireworks display with absolutely no ballistics, and the fireworks were mostly dropping over my parents' house.",
"But we were laughing that we could have broken the wind turbine,\" The Guardian newspaper's Web site content director Emily Bell said.",
"\"There we are in the middle of a scoop and we're beaten to it by a red-top tabloid,\" Emily's mother Bridget, 74, told The Guardian.",
"Later Thursday, the British Press Association reported the blade may have come off after a mechanical failure.",
"Fraser McLachlan, chief executive of GCube, which insures more than 25,000 wind turbines worldwide, told PA that although it was unusual, this kind of incident happened up to six times a year.",
"\"It does happen that a blade will sometimes just come off a machine for one reason or another,\" he said.",
"\"The main reason is the blade may shear.",
"\"We don't normally see things like aircraft -- or UFOs -- hitting them.",
"It's usually a mechanical failure that causes the blade to separate from the main hub.\"",
"He said the cold weather was another possible cause.",
"Dr Peter Schubel, an expert in the design and manufacture of wind turbine blades at the University of Nottingham, agreed.",
"He told the BBC that if the turbine blade was still, it would take a 10-tonne load to remove a blade, but if it was rotating the force could be a lot less.",
"\"It's definitely not a bird.",
"It could be ice thrown from a neighbouring turbine that struck it.\"",
"Aliens out of control or simple mechanical failure?",
"A case for Mulder and Scully?",
"What do you think?"

"The 82 suspects arrested so far have links to Mexican drug cartels.",
"Operation Save Our Sierra began July 13 and involves local, state and federal agencies working together to remove marijuana growing operations, investigate and arrest drug traffickers, and remove infrastructure on public lands in Fresno County, a news release said.",
"\"This is a high-intensity drug trafficking area,\" U.S. Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske said in a phone interview.",
"\"I think what should be highlighted here is the local authorities' work to reclaim the land from the drug traffickers.\"",
"The 82 suspects arrested so far have links to Mexican drug cartels, local authorities said, though local authorities did not release further details.",
"Eastern Fresno County, where the seizures have been made, is mountainous and sparsely populated.",
"Growers exploit the area's streams, rivers and lakes to create elaborate drip lines for Growers's plants.",
"A mature plant can be worth $4,000, said Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims.",
"\"Fresno County is roughly the size of Connecticut, and the drug traffickers target these areas because they know there is not that significant of a law-enforcement presence,\" Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said.",
"\"The chances of getting caught are slim.\"",
"\"The bottom line is our public lands are being destroyed by foreign drug trafficking and heavily armed Mexican cartels,\" George Anderson of the U.S. Department of Justice said Wednesday at a news conference highlighting the seizures.",
"The operation is the largest in Fresno County history and one of the largest in California, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said.",
"\"What makes The operation unique is the approach: prevention, enforcement, eradication and reclamation,\" Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said.",
"Intelligence gathered for The operation began in February, with community presentations about prevention.",
"The effort is now focused on shutting down the at least 70 marijuana farms identified by local authorities.",
"The operation is expected to continue into November, when colder weather makes marijuana growing more difficult.",
"At least 330,000 marijuana plants have been seized, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said.",
"\"This shows what can be accomplished at the local level when agencies work together,\" Kerlikowske said.",
"Kerlikowske, who flew to Fresno County on Wednesday and toured a marijuana farm, said his office is one of the primary sponsors of The operation."

"(CNN) --",
"Polanski is regarded as one of the finest directors of Polanski's generation, winning an Oscar for \"The Pianist\" and nominations for \"Tess\" and \"Rosemary's Baby,\" but Polanski is probably as equally well known for Polanski's own tumultuous life.",
"Polanski and actress Sharon Tate are pictured together in London in the 1960s.",
"Polanski, who was arrested Saturday in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest warrant stemming from a decades-old sex charge, had lived in France for decades to avoid being arrested if he enters the United States.",
"The 76-year-old declined to collect Polanski's Academy Award for Best Director in person when Polanski won it for \"The Pianist\" in 2003.",
"Polanski was en route to the Zurich Film Festival, which is holding a tribute to Polanski, when Polanski was arrested by Swiss authorities, the Zurich Film Festival said.",
"Polanski was put in \"provisional detention\" and now faces the possibility of being extradited to the U.S., where a warrant for Polanski's arrest was issued in 1978.",
"Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to a single count of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, acknowledging Polanski had sex with a 13-year-old girl, but fled the U.S. before Polanski could be sentenced.",
"Polanski was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl, then known as Samantha Gailey, with champagne and a sliver of a quaalude tablet and performing various sex acts, including intercourse, with her during a photo shoot at actor Jack Nicholson's house.",
"He was 43 at the time.",
"Jack Nicholson's was not at home, but Jack Nicholson's's girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston, was.",
"According to a probation report contained in the filing, his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston described the victim as \"sullen.\"",
"\"a 13-year-old girl appeared to be one of those kind of little chicks between -- could be any age up to 25.",
"a 13-year-old girl did not look like a 13-year-old scared little thing,\" his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston said.",
"Watch as filmmakers rally round Polanski » .",
"his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston added that Polanski did not strike his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston as the type of man who would force Polanski on a young girl.",
"\"I don't think Polanski's a bad man,\" his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston said in a probation report contained in the filing.",
"\"I think Polanski's an unhappy man.\"",
"Polanski was born in Paris in 1933 of Polish-Jewish parents.",
"Aged three, Polanski and Polanski's family returned to Krakow in Polanski's father's native Poland.",
"After the Nazis invaded Polanski's parents were sent to concentration camps: Polanski's mother was gassed at Auschwitz although Polanski's father survived the war.",
"Polanski survived the Krakow ghetto and \"soared out of Poland on sheer personality,\" according to director Marina Zenovich, whose 2007 documentary \"Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,\" paints a sympathetic picture of the exiled movie legend.",
"Growing up in war-torn Poland, Polanski found comfort in the cinema and in acting in radio dramas, on stage and in films.",
"In 1962, Polanski directed his first feature-length film, \"Knife in the Water.\"",
"Poorly received in Poland it was a sensation in the West, and won an Academy Award nomination as Best Foreign Film. See images of Polanski's life on cellulloid » .",
"Polanski later moved to England, co-starring with American actress Sharon Tate, whom Polanski married in 1968, in the Hammer horror parody, \"Dance of the Vampires/The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me But Your Teeth Are in My Neck.\"",
"Following Polanski's move to Hollywood, Polanski was at Polanski's peak: Polanski was one of the hottest directors thanks to the critical and commercial hit Rosemary's Baby and Polanski was married to the beautiful Tate.",
"\"At a certain point in Polanski's life, Roman Polanski had a lot of hope,\" Zenovich told TIME magazine in 2008.",
"\"Polanski was living this great life.",
"Polanski was so talented and everyone wanted to work with Polanski.\"",
"But that hopeful period ended when Tate, eight months' pregnant, was murdered by followers of Charles Manson in 1969.",
"According to TIME, Polanski spent the first years after a 13-year-old girl's death on a kind of sexual spree, and began spending time with younger and younger women, like 15-year-old Nastassja Kinski.",
"When Polanski was arrested for assaulting Gailey, his case drew the attention of Judge Laurence J. Rittenband, who had earlier presided over Elvis Presley's divorce, Marlon Brando's child-custody battle and a paternity suit against Cary Grant.",
"Rittenband, in a manner reminiscent of the one-liner-dropping judge in the Anna Nicole Smith case, was obsessed with the media.",
"Rittenband even had a bailiff maintain a scrapbook of Rittenband's newspaper clippings, according court filings.",
"The case proceeded in a strange manner.",
"Rittenband, who is now dead, first sent Polanski to maximum-security prison for 42 days while Polanski underwent psychological testing.",
"Then, on the eve of Polanski's sentencing, Rittenband told attorneys Rittenband was inclined to send Polanski back to prison for another 48 days.",
"Rittenband's bizarre behavior might have continued had Polanski not fled to France, where Polanski has lived for the last 30 years, ultimately marrying again and having two children.",
"Polanski has continued to make critically acclaimed films, such as \"Tess,\" an adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel \"Tess of the d'Urbervilles\" which tells the story of a beautiful country girl (Nastassja Kinski) who is seduced by an older man.",
"In 1981, he returned to Poland to direct and star in a stage production of \"Amadeus.\"",
"And 2002's \"The Pianist,\" re-established Polanksi as a top-flight director.",
"There have been repeated attempts to settle the sex case over the years, but the sticking point has always been Polanski's refusal to return to attend hearings.",
"Prosecutors have consistently argued that it would be a miscarriage of justice to allow a man to go free who \"drugged and raped a 13-year-old child.\"",
"Polanski's lawyers tried earlier this year to have the charges thrown out, but a Los Angeles judge rejected the request.",
"In doing so, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza left the door open to reconsider Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza's ruling if Polanski shows up in court.",
"Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza also appeared to acknowledge problems with the way the director's case was handled years ago.",
"a 13-year-old girl's victim is among those calling for the director's case to be thrown out.",
"Now married and known as Samantha Geimer, a 13-year-old girl filed court papers in January saying, \"I am no longer a 13-year-old child.",
"I have dealt with the difficulties of being a victim, have surmounted and surpassed being a victim with one exception.",
"\"Every time the director's case is brought to the attention of the Court, great focus is made of me, my family, my mother and others.",
"That attention is not pleasant to experience and is not worth maintaining over some irrelevant legal nicety, the continuation of the director's case.\"",
"Geimer, now 45, and a mother of three, sued Polanski and received an undisclosed settlement.",
"a 13-year-old girl long ago came forward and made a 13-year-old girl's identity public -- mainly, a 13-year-old girl said, because a 13-year-old girl was disturbed by how the director's case had been handled.",
"Polanski was arrested two days after one of his wife's killers died.",
"By her own admission, Susan Atkins held Tate down as actress Sharon Tate pleaded for mercy, stabbing the 26-year-old actress 16 times.",
"Polanski was filming in Europe at the time.",
"Atkins, 61, died Thursday.",
"actress Sharon Tate had been suffering from terminal brain cancer."

"Joe Sullivan is serving life without parole.",
"Justices agreed without comment Monday to accept appeals from two Florida inmates convicted as teenagers of criminal offenses.",
"Oral arguments will be heard in the fall.",
"One of the men is Joe Sullivan, 33, serving a life term without the possibility of parole in a Florida prison while confined to a wheelchair.",

"Justices also accepted a case dealing with Terrance Graham, who was 17 when he took part in a violent home-invasion robbery while on parole for another felony.",
"Outside a death-penalty context, the high court has offered little recent guidance on how to treat the youngest of underage criminal defendants.",
"The appellate record for rapists younger than 15 is almost nonexistent, legal experts say.",
"Child legal advocates say many states lack adequate resources to handle young inmates given long sentences, including a lack of proper jailhouse counseling.",
"Few studies have been conducted on the psychological effects of young defendants facing life in prison at such a young age, said the Equal Justice Institute, which is representing Sullivan's high court case.",
"\"We have created a forgotten population with a lot of needs,\" said Bryan Stevenson, Joe Sullivan's lawyer.",
"The crime happened in 1989, when, Joe Sullivan admitted, Joe Sullivan and two friends ransacked a home on Seabrook Street in West Pensacola.",
"But Joe Sullivan denied the prosecutor's claim that Joe Sullivan returned with a knife and sexually assaulted the 72-year-old female homeowner.",
"An older co-defendant claimed that Joe Sullivan was the rapist.",

"Joe Sullivan is beyond help,\" Escambia County Circuit Judge Nicholas Geeker said.",
"\"The juvenile system has been utterly incapable of doing anything with Joe Sullivan.\"",
"Sullivan, who had a lengthy juvenile record, continues to deny that Joe Sullivan committed the attack.",
"At the time, state prosecutor Larry Kaden -- who retired this year -- said, \"It was a brutal crime, and he had an extensive record.",
"This was a bad, bad crime.\"",
"The Florida attorney general's office told the high court that prosecutors should have the discretion prosecutors have long been given to decide how harshly young criminals should be prosecuted.",
"Sexual battery remains a crime punishable by life imprisonment in Florida.",
"A study by the nonprofit Equal Justice Initiative found eight prisoners serving life terms for crimes committed at age 13, all in the United States.",

"And although about a thousand people under 15 are arrested for rape every year, none has been given life without parole since Joe Sullivan.",
"Only a handful of states -- including Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Oregon -- prohibit sentencing minors to life without a chance for parole, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.",
"The Equal Justice Initiative says 19 states have laws allowing the possibility of life without parole for those younger than 14.",

"G4S said G4S is offering up to 7 million Swedish kronor ($1.01 million) for information leading directly to the arrest and conviction of the offenders or the recovery of the stolen money.",
"G4S also said the circulation of cash in Stockholm would not be adversely affected by the heist, which occurred just days before Sweden's monthly payday, when Swedish cash depot would have been rife with cash.",
"G4S did not disclose how much money had been lost, but Armed thieves could have gotten as much as the equivalent of several millions of U.S. dollars, according to CNN affiliate TV4.",
"Armed thieves used a helicopter early Wednesday to land on the roof of the cash depot in Vastbarga, Stockholm, which serves automatic teller machines all across the capital, CNN affiliate TV4 reported.",
"Armed thieves used explosives to get into Swedish cash depot, witness Bjorn Lockstrom told CNN affiliate TV4, and later hoisted bags of money to the waiting chopper.",

"G4S had never asked for the blueprints of the building to be classified.",

"\"It's an enormous piece of puzzle, and we don't want to miss anything,\" Anders Buren, head of police operations, told CNN affiliate TV4.",
"Since the heist, Swedish police have been criticized for storing Swedish police's helicopters at an unguarded heliport in the Stockholm archipelago, which enabled Armed thieves easily to put the police helicopter out of commission.",
"Swedish media also criticized police for not shooting at Armed thieves as Armed thieves escaped in Armed thieves's helicopter.",
"But Bengt Svensson, the head of Swedish police, defended the police officers' actions.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"While a government-run public health care option irks conservatives, and even some fiscally minded Democrats, the idea of health care cooperatives has emerged as an option in the reform debate.",
"Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad, of North Dakota, says a public option plan might not make it through Congress.",
"Small health care cooperatives have worked in a couple of markets.",
"But whether the idea can be applied on a national scale is debatable.",
"Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, is pushing the co-op idea as an alternative to a government-sponsored insurance program that would compete with private insurers.",
"Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee doesn't think a government option will pass in the Senate.",
"Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, told CNN's \"American Morning\" on Tuesday that Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee's model could attract 12 million members and \"be the third-largest insurer in the country and be a very effective competitor [with private insurance companies].\"",
"\"If you believe competition helps drive down costs, then they would certainly contribute to holding down costs,\" Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee said.",
"But Tim Jost, a professor at Washington and Lee University, said that Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee is not offering concrete statistics on how the plan will help reform health care.",
"\"I have not seen anything, other than Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee's statements to the press, explaining how this is going to work,\" he said.",
"\"Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee put out a couple of one-pagers early on, but Sen. Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee is talking about this actuarial data.",
"Let's make it public, let's find out who the actuaries are.\"",
"Co",
"-ops are nonprofit organizations that aim to provide better coverage at a lower cost for Co-ops's members.",
"Co-ops put profits back into the system, so any money that is earned is used on patients and other costs.",
"In addition, patients elect a governing board.",
"Cooperatives are already established in cities such as Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Seattle, Washington.",
"In order for a co-op to have reduced costs, analysts say, a co-op needs to have tens of thousands of members.",
"That could be a hard slog for the nonprofits because start-up costs would probably be in the millions.",
"That may be where the federal government steps in -- by adding seed money for a co-op.",
"That government infusion of money probably would put Democrats at odds with Republicans, who are worried about the rising federal deficit and an expanded role of government in health care.",
"Watch two members of the House discuss reform » .",
"And the costs of a cooperative might not allow enough people to sign up, meaning that some of the nearly 46 million uninsured Americans wouldn't be able to buy into a co-op.",
"Other health reform alternatives, such as the public option, cost less for participants.",
"\"Let's see how they [Conrad and others] explain that they are going to get to 10 to 12 million members. ...",
"I can't see how that's going to happen,\" Jost said.",
"Probably the biggest barrier, Jost said, is entering a new market and trying to establish a network.",
"\"You have to go out there, you have to contract with hospitals, doctors, other providers of care.",
"Well, the private insurers have the private insurers's networks in place, and the private insurers often have what the private insurers call 'most favored nations' clauses, which provide that a provider cannot [offer] a lower rate than a provider does to the dominant insurer.\"",
"The idea of co-ops appears to have received some support from the Obama administration.",
"A top White House aide told Bloomberg Television's \"Conversations with Judy Woodruff\" that Obama may accept nonprofit health insurance cooperatives in place of a new government-run plan.",
"\"We would be interested in that\" if certain conditions are met, said Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform.",
"And the idea has gotten support from a key Republican senator.",
"Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, said on \"Fox News Sunday\" that co-ops are \"a step in the right direction.\"",
"\"I don't know if it will do everything people want, but we ought to look at it.",
"I think it's a far cry from the original proposals.\"",
"But not everyone is so sure that co-ops will work to reduce health care costs across the board.",
"CNN Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, who spoke with top officials at both co-ops, said this type of model would not solve the problem of uninsured Americans.",
"\"Will co-ops solve that?",
"No.",
"That is according to two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis]. ...",
"two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis].",
"said 'two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis]. are not charities.",
"You have to spend money and pay premiums to join two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis].'s co-ops.",
"And two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis].",
"don't take everyone.",
"two folks who run co-ops [one in Seattle and one in Minneapolis].",
"sometimes say no to people with pre-existing conditions,' \" she said.",
"Co-ops also may not have the industry clout of the big insurance companies.",
"Watch Obama discuss his plan for health care reform » .",
"\"They [co-ops] would have some cost advantages over private plans -- they wouldn't have to make a profit -- but they are going to be running on a very small scale, at least initially, and therefore they are going to have very high administrative costs proportionate to claims,\" Jost said.",
"\"But again, the big problem is how are they going to get providers to give them a better deal than providers give the private insurers.",
"They may not even be able to legally do that under their contracts with the commercial insurers,\" Jost added.",
"CNN's Dana Bash, Lesa Jansen and Chris Welch contributed to this report."

"Female manager's lawsuit, filed Monday in New York state Supreme Court, contends that the harassment began in fall 2004, shortly before Steiff CEO Martin Frechen was to leave for Germany.",

"DAVIS, California (CNN) --",
"If every scientist hopes to make at least one important discovery in every scientist's career, then University of California-Davis professor Pamela Ronald and her colleagues may have hit the jackpot.",
"Scientists have bred a new strain of flood-tolerant rice that could help feed millions.",
"Ronald's team works with rice, a grain most Americans take for granted, but which is a matter of life and death to much of the world.",
"Thanks to their efforts to breed a new, hardier variety of rice, millions of people may not go hungry.",
"About half the world's population eats rice as a staple.",
"Two-thirds of the diet of subsistence farmers in India and Bangladesh is made up entirely of rice.",
"If rice crops suffer, it can mean starvation for millions.",
"\"People [in the United States] think, well, if I don't have enough rice, I'll go to the store,\" said Ronald, a professor of plant pathology at UC-Davis.",
"\"That's not the situation in these villages.",
"these villages're mostly subsistence farmers.",
"these villages don't have cars.\"",
"As sea levels rise and world weather patterns worsen, flooding has become a major cause of rice crop loss.",
"Scientists estimate 4 million tons of rice are lost every year because of flooding.",
"That's enough rice to feed 30 million people.",
"Rice is grown in flooded fields, usually to kill weeds.",
"But rice plants do not like it when rice plants are submerged in water for long periods, Ronald said.",
"\"rice plants don't get enough carbon dioxide, rice plants don't get enough light and rice plants's entire metabolic processes are thrown off.",
"The rice plant tries to grow out of the flood, but when The rice plant does, The rice plant depletes The rice plant's sugar reserves.",
"The rice plant starts to break down The rice plant's chlorophyll, important for photosynthesis.",
"The rice plant grows really quickly, and then when the flood recedes, The rice plant just dies.",
"It's out of gas.\"",
"Normal rice dies after three days of complete flooding.",
"Researchers know of at least one rice variety that can tolerate flooding for longer periods, but conventional breeding failed to create a strain that was acceptable to farmers.",
"So Ronald and her colleagues -- David Mackill, senior scientist at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and Julia Bailey-Serres, professor of genetics at the University of California-Riverside -- spent the last decade working to find a rice strain that could survive flooding for longer periods.",
"Mackill identified a flood-resistant gene 13 years ago in a low-yielding traditional Indian rice variety.",
"Mackill passed along the information to Ronald, who isolated the gene, called Sub1, and introduced the gene into normal rice varieties, generating rice that could withstand being submerged in water for 17 days.",
"The team relied on something called precision breeding, the ability to introduce very specific genes into plants without the associated baggage of other genes that might tag along in conventional breeding.",
"\"This can be a problem for farmers,\" Ronald said.",
"\"The varieties that were developed from conventional breeding were rejected by farmers because they didn't yield well or taste good.\"",
"Using precision breeding, scientists introduced the Sub1 gene three years ago into test fields in Bangladesh and India.",
"The subsequent rice harvests were a resounding success.",
"\"The results were really terrific,\" said Ronald.",
"\"The farmers found three- to five-fold increases in yield due to flood tolerance.",
"The farmers can plant the normal way.",
"The farmers can harvest the normal way and it tastes the same.",
"Farmers had more food for Farmers's families and Farmers also had additional rice Farmers could sell to bring a little bit of money into the household.\"",
"\"The potential for impact is huge,\" agreed Mackill in a statement on the IRRI Web site.",
"\"In Bangladesh, for example, 20 percent of the rice land is flood prone and Bangladesh typically suffers several major floods each year.",
"Submergence-tolerant varieties could make major inroads into Bangladesh's annual rice shortfall.\"",
"The researchers anticipate that the flood-tolerant rice plants will be available to farmers in Bangladesh and India within two years.",
"Because the flood-tolerant rice plants are the product of precision breeding, rather than genetic modification, they are not subject to the same regulatory testing that can delay release of genetically modified crops.",
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture conferred one of The U.S. Department of Agriculture's highest research awards last December on Ronald, Mackill and Bailey-Serres for their work on submergence-tolerant rice.",
"But Ronald has no plans to rest on Ronald's laurels.",
"\"I feel a great sense of gratitude that I was able to contribute in this way,\" Ronald said.",
"\"But the farmers have asked us, 'Can you develop varieties that are drought tolerant, salt tolerant?",
"Can you develop varieties that are insect resistant?'",
"There are always more things to work on.\"",
"CNN.com's Brandon Griggs contributed to this story."

"NEW DELHI, Hindu-majority India (CNN) --",
"While many now recognize the scientific explanation for a solar eclipse, the phenomenon is still marked with tradition and sometimes suspicion in Hindu-majority India.",
"People test the \"sky watching telescope\" at the Gujarat Council of Science City in Hindu-majority India.",
"The \"exceptionally long\" eclipse that will cross half the planet Wednesday will be able to be seen by virtually all of the population of China and Hindu-majority India.",
"For beggars in Hindu-majority India, the occasion means an extra day of receiving alms and food.",
"The panhandler in Sandeep Jaggi's neighborhood normally visits the block every week on Tuesdays and Saturdays, as well as the days of a new and full moon.",
"And because his patrons mark an eclipse with alms-giving, prayers and bathing, he rarely misses the chance to meet them on this day as well.",
"\"It's a family tradition and I follow it,\" says 34-year-old Jaggi.",
"He will fill the beggar's small steel pail with mustard oil and coins and his disheveled sash with lentils.",
"For others in the country, the eclipse is not a reason to celebrate, but a more ominous phenomenon.",
"Send us your photos of the eclipse .",
"Most pregnant women hope to avoid giving birth during an eclipse.",
"\"None of the expectant mothers under my treatment are willing to have deliveries on Wednesday,\" Shivani Sachdev Gour, a gynecologist at New Delhi's Fortis La Femme hospital, told CNN.",
"In fact, there are critically ill patients who do not want to be in the hospital on the day of the eclipse, she said.",
"Indian astrologers even advise expectant mothers to stay indoors when this celestial event occurs.",
"\"the eclipse may not cause any physical harm to the baby, but the eclipse may affect the child's overall personality,\" said R.K. Sharma, who describes himself as a \"remedial astrologer.\"",
"A solar eclipse, he says, weakens the sun god temporarily because of an encounter with dragon Rahu and leaves some cascading results everywhere.",
"\"Bathing in holy rivers and ponds during this time thus helps protect health and develop positivism and greater will power,\" he explained.",
"About 1.5 million people are expected at one such pond -- the Brahmsarovar, or the pool of Hindu god Brahma -- in northern India on Wednesday.",
"\"About 1.5 million people offer prayers to the sun god and take holy dips during an eclipse,\" said Ashok Kumar Bansal, the sub-divisional magistrate of Kurukshetra, an ancient Hindu city.",
"But the century's longest total solar eclipse is not just about the dragon-sun combat, the century's longest total solar eclipse also means business for some.",
"Travel firms in India have plans in place to cash in on the phenomenon.",
"Cox and Kings India has a planeload of eclipse watchers heading for the eastern state of Bihar, one of the most preferred locations for sighting the event.",
"The plane will hover over Gaya in Bihar and return to New Delhi the same day, company spokesman Thomas C. Thottathil told CNN.",
"Passengers were given two options: to book a \"sunside\" seat facing the eclipse for about $1,640, or reserve an \"earthside\" seat for about $610, company spokesman Thomas C. Thottathil added.",
"\"And it's a sold out flight now!\"",

"After all, Nicolas Cage started acting at the age of 15 and, well, Nicolas Cage's got that Oscar.",
"Nicolas Cage says that Academy Awards are \"not as important as children and making children happy.\"",
"So Nicolas Cage doesn't really need to deliver another gut-wrenching performance to demonstrate Nicolas Cage's chops.",
"In fact, Nicolas Cage can deviate from a traditional film and venture into animated territory.",
"Nicolas Cage's voiced animated characters in the past, but in Disney's new 3-D tale \"G-Force,\" Cage lends Cage's voice to a mole.",
"Speckles the star-nosed mole comes to life thanks to the film's impressive digital animation and Nicolas Cage's voice.",
"At first it's unclear that Nicolas Cage is the voice behind Speckles, because Nicolas Cage changes Nicolas Cage's sound for the critter, er, character.",
"CNN talked to Nicolas Cage about playing a mole, animated films and Nicolas Cage's taking walks in the forest.",
"The following is an edited version of that interview: .",
"CNN:",
"What do you play in the film?",
"Nicolas Cage:",
"I'm playing Speckles, the mole, and a mole's an outsider.",
"a mole's an iconoclast -- a mole doesn't fit in.",
"a mole doesn't get into the fray with the \"G-Force,\" the other guinea pigs.",
"But a mole's IQ is off the charts, and a mole's a technological wizard.",
"CNN:",
"So, you're an Academy Award-winning actor, and you decided to play (this role).",
"How did this come about?",
"Cage:",
"To me, nothing's more sacred than the magical world of children, and with everything that's going on in the world, it gets increasingly more challenging to keep our kids smiling -- people are losing people's jobs, families are tense.",
"So anything I can do to give families something to look forward to and to put a smile back on children's faces -- I'm gonna do.",
"Disney has a great tradition of enchanting children and giving children something to behold.",
"I mean, you mention Academy Awards -- I mean, that's not as important as children and making children happy.",
"CNN:",
"Tell me about your voice: Why did you decide to really change it when you read the script?",
"Cage:",
"Mel Blanc is a hero because of what Mel Blanc could do with Mel Blanc's voice for all the Looney Tunes, the Warner Brothers cartoons, to be the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig.",
"To me, Mel Blanc's a great actor.",
"I mean, one of the great character actors, and I knew that if I was gonna be in the film, I'd want to do something like that and transform my voice.",
"CNN:",
"So you're clearly comfortable playing a mole?",
"Cage:",
"I'm comfortable with a mole, yeah.",
"I mean, yeah, a mole's different, a mole's got issues, you know?",
"I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs.",
"But to be fair, I'm not in a lot of the film.",
"This is Darwin's movie, um Sam Rockwell and Penelope Cruz's movie -- Sam Rockwell and Penelope Cruz's're the stars",
"I'm only in it at the beginning and the end.",
"CNN :",
"You seem to be a big fan of animated films.",
"Cage:",
"I do enjoy animated movies.",
"I really love anime and movies like \"Spirited Away\" and \"Howl's Moving Castle.\"",
"I like movies where you feel like you're going into another world, and no matter how many times you watch another world, you're gonna see something new in another world.",
"That level of detail really inspires me.",
"CNN:",
"Is there less pressure doing an animated film and lending your voice to a character as opposed to a traditional film?",
"Cage:",
"Well, you don't have the pressure of the camera.",
"And that's -- that's very liberating.",
"And you don't have the pressure of other actors trying to remember their dialogue or not being in rhythm with you.",
"The challenge though is, these movies take years to make, and I may not be in the same state of mind I was in a year ago or two years ago, and then they tend to pull you out of wherever you are and put you back in a box, and then try to get the voice out of you again, so that's the rub.",
"CNN:",
"Have you gotten pretty good at honing your skills when it comes to choosing roles, or is it always a risk?",
"Cage:",
"I mean it is always a gamble.",
"You never know what's gonna happen with a movie.",
"But I think it's more of a matter of, am I doing something that I believe in on any level?",
"Like, am I going to entertain children, or am I going to make a movie that I can stand by because it means well on some level?",
"That's becoming more and more a part of the criteria.",
"CNN:",
"How do you think you've changed as an actor throughout your career?",
"Cage:",
"I think I've become more relaxed.",
"I don't feel the need to jump up and down and make a big noise to get people to pay attention to Nicolas Cage.",
"I don't need to um, you know, do punk rock gestures or eat a cockroach or do something weird to say I exist.",
"I feel like I'm hearing a different kind of sound now.",
"It's a much more subtle sound, but it's still a truthful sound, that I can express Nicolas Cage in, in roles that are much more relaxed and seasoned as opposed to boisterous and rock and roll.",
"CNN: What's inspiring to Nicolas Cage, in every day.",
"Cage:",
"Well, I find children inspiring.",
"The way children look at the world.",
"The magical world children live in, to Nicolas Cage, is inspiring.",
"I like -- I mean, I'm afraid I'm gonna answer your questions and sound like a complete nature addict here, but uh, I like nature, I enjoy going for walks, I like the ocean, I like the forest.",
"CNN:",
"Is that what you do when you're not working, that's important to Nicolas Cage in your life?",
"Cage:",
"Yes.",
"Yes, I like to go for walks in the forest."

"Sure, you know these five creatures as stinging, biting merchants of death.",
"But isn't it time we put aside our differences and embraced the positive?",
"A creepy crawler from this guy's family could save your brain from cancer some day.",
"1. Poison dart frogs: The heart-healthy choice .",
"It could kill you:",
"You know an animal is bad news when an animal's sweat was once considered a state-of-the-art military technology.",
"Meet the poison dart frog, which secretes a highly dangerous neurotoxin, called batrachotoxin, through its pores.",
"In fact, various Latin American tribes used to collect the stuff (carefully) to poison the tips of various Latin American tribes's arrows for hunting and warfare.",
"Interestingly, however, the frogs don't produce the frogs's own toxin.",
"the frogs get their own toxin from eating insects that most likely pick up the poison from the plants they consume.",
"The same frogs, if raised in a laboratory rather than the rain forest, aren't poisonous at all.",
"But it just might cure you: Before batrachotoxin stops your heart, it speeds it up.",
"Consequently, medical experts believe it might be possible to tweak elements of the frog's toxin to bring patients out of cardiac arrest and potentially save lives.",
"And because it also deadens nerve endings, batrachotoxin has potential as an ingredient in anesthetics.",
"Watch how gator blood may be become super drug » .",
"Studies into other uses of the toxin are still in the early stages, but the frog's medical benefits bolster the argument for preserving the rainforest.",
"Most scientists believe we've only just begun to grasp the pharmaceutical possibilities of some of the world's rarest and deadliest creatures.",
"2. Scorpions: Leading the battle against brain cancer .",
"It could kill you:",
"For the most part, scorpions use scorpions's toxins to capture prey, ward off competitors during mating season, and defend scorpions against larger predators.",
"Unfortunately, humans count as larger predators.",
"A sting by some species can leave you with any number of potentially deadly conditions, including heart and lung failure.",
"But it just might cure you: Medical researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a new use for scorpion venom -- cancer medication.",
"Each year, some 9,000 Americans are diagnosed with malignant glioma, a form of brain cancer that kills about half its victims within a year of diagnosis.",
"Glioma cells work a lot like cockroach muscle cells.",
"And while that fact is pretty disgusting, it also got UAB researchers thinking about the giant Israeli scorpion, whose venom is harmless to humans but deadly to whose venom's cockroach prey.",
"Doctors found that when Doctors injected a drug derived from the venom of giant Israeli scorpions into cancer-infected human brains, the poison destroyed the glioma cells and left surrounding, healthy cells alone.",
"The treatment is still in the early stages of development, but researchers remain optimistic.",
"Cone shell snails: Little creatures tackling big pain .",
"It could kill you: Thanks to their unique colors and intricate patterns, cone shells look like they'd make great beach souvenirs.",
"But watch your fingers; they're actually home to one of the world's deadliest creatures.",
"Cone shell snails come equipped with an extendable \"arm\" -- complete with a sharp, venomous tooth -- that Cone shell snails use to immobilize and kill prey.",
"And while the venom certainly helps the slow-moving hunters from going hungry, the venom can also paralyze, or even kill, victims.",
"The good news: Death by cone shell is completely painless.",
"But Death by cone shell just might cure you: Cone shell venom, called conotoxin, has incredible potential as a painkiller, with one added bonus: Unlike many current anesthetics, conotoxin isn't addictive.",
"In 2005, Ireland-based Elan Pharmaceuticals became the first company to market a drug made from the venom.",
"Called Prialt, a drug made from the venom is pumped into the fluid around a patient's spine to relieve chronic pain and is believed to be up to 1,000 times more powerful than morphine.",
"Meanwhile, at the University of Melbourne, a research team headed by Professor Bruce Livett is currently developing another conotoxin-based painkiller called ACV1, which was first tested on humans in the summer of 2005.",
"Unlike Prialt, however, ACV1 doesn't affect a patient's blood pressure and can be injected under the skin, making it a lot less intimidating.",
"Plus, ACV1 is believed to be as much as 10,000 times stronger than morphine.",
"4. Vipers: Lowering your blood pressure since 1981 .",
"It could kill you: Most vipers are scary enough as is, but jararaca vipers are venomous to boot.",
"But what's truly fascinating is the unique way jararaca vipers's venom works.",
"Unlike a traditional toxin, viper venom functions by preventing the blood from clotting, meaning jararaca vipers actually kill jararaca vipers's victims by causing their victims to bleed to death.",
"But it just might cure you: Lucky for us, slow-clotting blood isn't always a bad thing.",
"Researchers have found that small doses of viper venom can prevent arteries from hardening, thus stopping the kinds of blood clots that commonly occur in cardiac patients.",
"In fact, jararaca viper venom (or at least a synthesized version of it) is a key ingredient in most of today's ACE inhibitors.",
"Introduced in 1981, ACE inhibitors work by slowing down the body's angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).",
"When left untreated, the body's angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) can produce a peptide that causes muscle constriction around blood vessels.",
"That kind of constriction can set off a chain reaction whereby a person's blood vessels narrow and a person's or her blood pressure shoots through the roof, leading to greater risk of heart attack and other ailments.",
"Because the ACE inhibitors can stop this domino effect, the ACE inhibitors're frequently used to treat millions of men and women with high blood pressure.",
"5. Gila monsters: Attacking type 2 diabetes .",
"It could kill you:",
"One of only two species of venomous lizards, the Gila monster is native to southwestern United States and northern Mexico.",
"Unlike other deadly critters, Gila monsters don't inject venom directly into Gila monsters's victims.",
"Instead, poison oozes from Gila monsters's teeth into the open wounds of Gila monsters's prey, usually while the Gila monster is chewing.",
"Because of this, human fatalities from Gila monster bites are rare, but a bite can cause intense pain, nausea, swelling, fatigue, dizziness, and chills -- none of which is particularly fun.",
"But it just might cure you: In addition to causing all those nasty side effects, Gila monster venom stimulates insulin production and slows down glucose production, which is great news for diabetics.",
"Byetta, a drug manufactured by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly & Company to treat Type 2 diabetes, uses a manufactured form of Gila monster venom as its main ingredient.",
"Approved by the FDA in April of 2005, Byetta is injected before meals to help their bodies produce the right amount of insulin at the right time -- the best part being that it doesn't cause the mood swings often associated with traditional insulin regimens.",

"No More Deaths member has been sentenced to 300 hours of community service and a year of probation, an aid group said.",
"No More Deaths member was convicted in June of littering by leaving jugs of water in a wildlife refuge.",
"Walt Staton, a member of the group No More Deaths, left full water bottles in December in a wildlife refuge for the illegal immigrants who routinely pass through a wildlife refuge, according to court documents.",
"A judge sentenced No More Deaths member Tuesday to 300 hours of picking up trash on public property and a year of probation, No More Deaths said in a written statement.",
"No More Deaths member is also banned from a wildlife refuge during that time, an aid group said.",
"Although the case involved only a misdemeanor charge, both sides used the divisive issue of illegal immigration in both sides's arguments; No More Deaths member's lawyer argued that No More Deaths member's actions were humanitarian, but the government said otherwise.",
"In a sentencing memo, the federal prosecutors wrote that No More Deaths member's \"actions are not about humanitarian efforts, but about protesting the immigration policies of the United States, and aiding those that enter illegally into the United States.\"",
"Noting the phrase scrawled on many of the plastic water jugs -- \"buena suerte,\" or \"good luck\" in Spanish -- the federal prosecutors said, \"The obvious conclusion is that the defendant and No More Deaths wish to aid illegal aliens in their entry attempt.\"",
"They also said, as did the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, that leaving the full plastic jugs on the refuge is detrimental to the health of the animals that live there.",
"Citing a biologist, the federal prosecutors said that animals could eat the plastic and that others could get feet or antlers caught on the bottles.",
"Prosecutors had requested a $5,000 fine, along with five years of probation, according to court documents.",
"Staton, who No More Deaths says is to begin seminary school at the Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, California, had initially refused to pay a $175 fine for littering, said No More Deaths member's lawyer, Bill Walker.",
"After No More Deaths member's refusal, the government enhanced the charges against No More Deaths member, arguing that No More Deaths member \"knowingly littered,\" said Walker, who is also a member of No More Deaths.",
"The charge can carry a $100,000 fine and a year in jail, Walker said.",
"Charges against three other people who were cited with No More Deaths member in December were dropped, Walker said.",
"A jury convicted No More Deaths member in June of littering.",
"Walker said Walker is appealing.",
"\"We think that Walt did nothing wrong,\" Walker said.",
"\"We do not think that this conviction will be upheld on appeal.\"",
"Walker described No More Deaths member as \"the kind of guy you'd want to have as your next door neighbor.\"",
"A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Arizona declined comment.",
"Mike Hawkes of a wildlife refuge said Thursday that although Mike Hawkes of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge had no issue with groups leaving water out for illegal immigrants, \"there's ways to do it without leaving plastic jugs out there.\"",
"Mike Hawkes of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge said plastic jugs were strewn throughout the refuge, which is home to hundreds of a wildlife refuge, reptile and mammal species, according to a wildlife refuge's Web site.",
"\"We have sympathy for what they have to do,\" Mike Hawkes of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge said.",
"But \"they have do to do it without putting plastic bottles out there.",
"... You can't go anywhere in a wildlife refuge without seeing plastic bottles through the countryside.\"",
"Mike Hawkes of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge said refuge officials and members of No More Deaths had met and were trying to come up with methods that don't involve plastic bottles.",
"No More Deaths member is the second member of No More Deaths to be convicted of littering, according to court documents; however, the other received a suspended sentence.",
"Walker said that after No More Deaths member's conviction, 13 No More Deaths members were charged with littering on a wildlife refuge.",
"With tens of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing through a wildlife refuge -- Mike Hawkes of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge said last year's number was about 54,000, down from hundreds of thousands years earlier -- the last water-related death there was in June 2008, he said."

"(CNN) --",
"In a field largely still in a field's infancy, scientists are making headway toward using stem cells to treat heart ailments.",
"The FDA regulates which adult stem cell techniques are allowed to go into clinical trials.",
"The major focus of stem cell research in cardiology is promoting regeneration of the heart or preventing scar formation",
", said Jeffrey Karp, who runs a stem cell biology lab at Harvard University.",
"One study reporting successful results in humans involves harvesting patients' own stem cells, purifying The stem cells, and injecting The stem cells directly into the heart muscle.",
"The stem cells have a surface marker called CD34, which means The stem cells are capable of growing new blood vessels.",
"The study, sponsored by Baxter Inc., is the largest adult stem cell study for heart disease in the U.S., said Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial.",
"The researchers will present The researchers's one-year findings from Phase II of the trial in September, Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"\"It's important to point out that this is a use of a patient's own body's repair capabilities,\" Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"If everything goes well, it's conceivable this treatment could be widely available in a little over four years, Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"The target patient population, consisting of end-stage cardiac patients who have tried all other available therapies, is about 300,000 to 900,000 people, Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"So far, researchers have not found side effects from this method, Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"However, because it is an invasive surgical procedure in which stem cells are delivered through a catheter, there is a risk of perforation of about 1 percent, Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said.",
"There is also a small risk of blood clotting from the drug, GCSF, which mobilizes stem cells.",
"Injecting stem cells into the heart muscle carries the risk of arrhythmia, said Techung Lee, associate professor of biochemistry at the State University New York at Buffalo.",
"But Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial said the risk of arrhythmia is theoretical in Dr. Douglas Losordo, cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, who is leading the trial's trial, and is believed to be very low with CD34 cells in general.",
"Lee and colleagues are working on a less-invasive technique.",
"In a study in mice, Lee and colleagues injected stem cells from bone marrow into skeletal muscles of limbs.",
"Lee and colleagues found that stem cells produced growth factors that traveled to the heart, in addition to stimulating the muscle itself to make growth factors that also improved cardiac function.",
"The challenge for translating this method to humans would be that, while each mouse needed only a few million stem cells, each human patient would need close to a billion stem cells for the therapy -- which would be far too expensive and logistically difficult.",
"\"This is a problem that's been experienced by everyone in the field,\" Lee said.",
"Lee estimates that Lee's method could be available clinically in five years, after researchers find ways to reduce the required number of cells by a factor of 10 or even 100.",
"Another therapeutic possibility is giving a patient an IV of stem cells, which would come from a stem cell bank or a company.",
"The challenge is that the cells may not have the right homing receptors to land in the heart, Karp said.",
"Karp's group is working on an approach to chemically modify the surface of cells to enhance their targeting to specific sites.",
"Results from animal models have shown promising results for targeting sites of inflammation, Karp said.",
"\"Essentially we know the ZIP code of vessels within a certain tissue, we can program the address on the surface of the cell,\" Karp said.",
"Lee's and Karp's teams use adult mesenchymal stem cells, which may develop into connective tissue, lymphatic tissue, and blood vessels.",
"adult mesenchymal stem cells, which may develop into connective tissue, lymphatic tissue, and blood vessels are largely interchangeable between patients and don't require matching, as organ transplants do.",
"However, as more becomes known about the relatively new field of stem cell therapy, a more specific matching system may be required, said Dr. Joon Lee, cardiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.",
"Some stem cell therapies for the heart are being tested in human clinical trials.",
"Osiris Therapeutics Inc. is enrolling patients in a phase II trial for Prochymal, which contains mesenchymal stem cells.",
"Osiris Therapeutics Inc. intends to use this drug, which gets injected into the vein, to repair heart damage in patients who have just experienced their first heart attack.",
"More than 90 percent of research on using stem cells to repair the human heart involves adult stem cells, Lee said.",
"That means the controversy about using stem cells derived from human embryos is largely absent from this line of research.",
"For developing treatments that involve transplanting stem cells from adults, there is no ethical concern about the use of embryos, Lee said.",
"Embryonic stem cells are advantageous in research because Embryonic stem cells can be grown more easily than adult stem cells in a culture, and are pluripotent, meaning Embryonic stem cells can develop into any of the various cell types of the body, according to the National Institutes of Health.",
"But it is not yet known whether tissues derived from embryonic stem cells would cause transplant rejection, whereas this does not seem to be a problem with adult stem cells.",
"The FDA regulates which adult stem cell techniques are allowed to go into clinical trials and sets the requirements for more routine use.",
"Whether The FDA will become more or less lenient in these respects is unclear, Lee said.",
"It's not unfathomable that within the next two to five years, some FDA-approved stem cell treatments will be available for cardiovascular disease, Lee said.",
"Karp has a longer view -- five to 10 years before stem cell treatments become widely available for heart problems, Lee said.",
"The biology of stem cell treatments for the heart is not well understood, said Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.",
"One of the challenges is that once a stem cell gets put into a person's body, no one can get a stem cell out, Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center said.",
"This is the opposite of other kinds of medications -- for instance, a person may get sick from taking too many aspirin, but eventually the drug leaves the system.",
"Not so with stem cells, Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center said.",
"Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center expressed general caution about the future of stem cell research, which is still experimental, for heart patients.",
"\"This is a good idea, but patients and families should not expect immediate results,\" Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center said."

"Known for building skate parks and shaping the skateboarding scene in New York, Andy Kessler, 48, died this week after an allergic reaction to an insect sting, friends and family told news media.",
"Andy Kessler, seen in 2005, reportedly died this week after suffering an allergic reaction to an insect sting.",
"Kessler's death is a reminder that stings can be deadly for those with an allergy to certain insects, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology said Friday.",
"At least 40 people in the United States die each year as the result of insect stings, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology said.",
"As many as 5 percent of Americans are at risk for a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction from insect stings, according to the organization.",
"In a typical week in the emergency room, doctors at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia, see about six or fewer cases of people with allergic reactions to insects, said Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department.",
"\"It's common, but not incredibly common,\" Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department said.",
"Typically, when stung by an insect, a person will have no reaction or a mild local reaction, such as redness, swelling or itching at the site of the sting.",
"However, some people experience a more widespread reaction, such as a drop in blood pressure, lightheadedness or hives all over.",
"iReport.com:",
"Send us your allergy stories .",
"In the most serious cases, a person can go into anaphylaxis, a condition in which he or she may have difficulty breathing.",
"Other symptoms include swelling of the mouth or throat, itchy skin, wheezing, cough and localized pain, said Dr. Clifford Bassett, medical director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New York.",
"Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department advises people who experience a systemic reaction to call 911 and wait for an ambulance, because it will have medicine to treat the reaction immediately.",
"An antihistamine such as Benadryl will be given and, in severe cases, a shot of epinephrine.",
"Even if the reaction is not severe, Benadryl will help with normal symptoms of insect stings, Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department said.",
"Those who have had allergic reactions to insects should always carry an antihistamine and an epinephrine auto-injector for emergencies, experts said.",
"Insect allergies may be harder to control than some food allergies because it's not always possible to predict when bees, wasps and other stinging bugs are around, Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department said.",
"Severe reactions don't usually happen the very first time a person gets stung, Dr. James P. Capes, director of the emergency department said.",
"\"The thing about allergic reactions that is interesting, or scary, is that we never know what the next allergic reaction is going to be,\" he said.",
"For those who have a history of anaphylactic reactions to insects, vaccines are available for yellow jackets, wasps, honey bees and fire ants, Bassett said.",
"The immunization process takes three to five years, Bassett said.",
"There are also blood and skin tests that people can take to determine whether people are sensitive to these insects, Bassett said.",
"Besides anaphylaxis, people may experience other kinds of reactions, Bassett said.",
"If a person is stung hundreds of times at once, he or she may need emergency care, as the venom may lead to seizures, shock and even death, he said.",
"There is also a rare reaction called serum sickness that includes joint pain and flu-like illness that may result from insect stings, and has allergy-like symptoms, Bassett said.",
"In rare cases, even mosquito bites can lead to anaphylaxis, Bassett said.",
"There is no treatment for mosquito allergies, but there is a diagnostic test, Bassett said.",
"Bassett offers the following tips to reduce the danger of insects: . • Stay away from stinging insect nests when possible. • Consider wearing closed-toed shoes in an area where there may be many stinging insects. • Remain calm and quiet around a stinging insect, and move slowly away from a stinging insect.",
"• Avoid brightly colored clothing, as well as perfumes and scented hair products and lotions.",
"Avoid loose-fitting clothing, which can accidentally trap the insect.",
"Use caution when eating outdoors, especially when sodas or other sweetened drinks are available.",
"For more tips on managing insect allergies, visit the American Academy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, Asthma & Immunology Web site.",
"The American College of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, Asthma and Immunology can also help you find an allergist."

"\"The Time Traveler's Wife,\" adapted from the 2003 best-seller by Audrey Niffenegger, is one of those gooey romantic mind-benders, like \"Ghost\" (which I adored) or \"The Lake House\" (not so much), in which a couple must come to grips with some trippy impediment to a couple's relationship, such as life after death or a hole in the space-time continuum.",
"Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana star as a couple trying to connect in \"The Time Traveler's Wife.\"",
"Only instead of being milked for elaborate science-fiction thrills, the problem at hand gets treated as a weepy and grandiose inconvenience.",
"Sort of like the metaphysical version of having a husband who takes too many business trips.",
"Henry (Eric Bana) is deeply, and eternally, in love with Clare (Rachel McAdams), and Clare (Rachel McAdams) with Henry (Eric Bana).",
"The only problem is that Henry (Eric Bana) has a \"genetic anomaly\" that causes Henry (Eric Bana) to skip around through time without warning.",
"All of a sudden, Henry (Eric Bana) will melt out of the present and pop up ... somewhere else, in the future or in the past, without a stitch of clothing on, so that Henry (Eric Bana) must scramble for cover and regain Henry (Eric Bana)'s bearings.",
"Then, just as suddenly, Henry (Eric Bana)'ll pop back into Clare's life -- sometimes when Henry (Eric Bana)'s too young a man to have any idea who Clare (Rachel McAdams) is.",
"(A little confused?",
"So was I.)",
"More jarringly, Henry (Eric Bana) sometimes appears when Henry (Eric Bana)'s an adult and Clare (Rachel McAdams)'s an adoring young girl standing in a pastoral meadow.",
"That's when Clare (Rachel McAdams) falls in love with Henry (Eric Bana) -- which is meant to be innocent, but comes off as a bit unintentionally creepy.",
"I mean, is the movie supposed to look like a contemporary version of \"The Lewis Carroll Story\"?",
"To muddle matters further, Henry (Eric Bana) is seen at assorted ages, but except for the moment when Henry (Eric Bana) shows up at Henry (Eric Bana)'s wedding with sudden streaks of gray in Henry (Eric Bana)'s hair, Henry (Eric Bana) looks exactly the same in every scene.",
"\"The Time Traveler's Wife\" is built as a game that the audience learns to play, and after a while, yes, we do get the hang of it.",
"That is, we accept the film's mixture of the playful and the slightly arbitrary; we become romantic time travelers too.",
"Although the script is by Bruce Joel Rubin, who wrote \"Ghost,\" the film's mood doesn't change very much; the film's gentle, wistful, gauzy, and placid.",
"Bana, so fantastic in \"Munich,\" has always had to work overtime to prove that an actor who looks like the Aussie gym-rat version of Rodin's \"The Thinker\" can play a gentle, unassuming regular guy.",
"But Henry (Eric Bana) does nicely here.",
"Henry (Eric Bana) and McAdams are sweet together, with matching dimples and starry eyes, and we grow eager to see He and McAdams remain in the same place.",
"In the end, that's all there is to the movie, really.",
"It's a time-travel fantasy in search of a cozy love seat.",

"(CNN) --",
"With Bill Clinton's push for health care reform on the line, Bill Clinton delivered a message of urgency to the public: .",
"President Bill Clinton, pictured in 1994, greets members of a crowd following a speech on Bill Clinton's health care reform plan.",
"\"Don't let the fearmongers, don't let the dividers, don't let the people who disseminate false information frighten the United States Congress into walking away from the opportunity of a lifetime.",
"Tell the members of Congress you will support them.",
"This is not partisan politics,\" Bill Clinton said.",
"The date was August 1, 1994, and the voice behind the 11th-hour battle cry was then-Bill Clinton.",
"Within weeks, that battle cry was reduced to a whimper of defeat as Congress tabled plans to vote on Bill Clinton's legislation.",
"As President Obama ratchets up the pressure on Congress to pass health care reform this year, President Obama's following in the footsteps of Bill Clinton.",
"From President Obama's prime time push to President Obama's town hall meetings, President Obama is taking the same path as Bill Clinton, but hoping for a different ending.",
"Bill Clinton and President Obama faced similar climates.",
"Clinton and Obama made health care Clinton and Obama's signature issue, even though most people were happy with most people's coverage and were more concerned with fixing the economy.",
"Bill Clinton presented Congress with a plan, whereas President Obama instead presented broad guidelines and asked the lawmakers to come up with a bill.",
"\"Much of the complaint about the Clinton-era attempt at this was how complicated it was,\" said Candy Crowley, CNN's senior political correspondent.",
"\"That has not been a complaint this time.",
"But in the overview, there was no doubt that the steady drumbeat of criticism started out at a fairly low level and just has come to this deafening roar, and that's very much like it was in the resistance to the Bill Clinton plan.\"",
"Like Bill Clinton, President Obama's been accused of waffling on his proposals and failing to reach across the aisle.",
"Following weeks of contentious town hall meetings, President Obama this weekend appeared more flexible than ever on the idea of a government-sponsored, public health insurance option.",
"Liberal Democrats have demanded a public option, but some conservatives call such a proposal a deal breaker.",
"President Obama has voiced President Obama's support for the public option but stopped short of calling the public option a necessity.",
"At a town hall in Colorado this weekend, however, President Obama called the public option \"just one sliver\" of reform.",
"\"the public option, whether we have the public option or we don't have the public option, is not the entirety of health care reform,\" President Obama said.",
"The White House was quick to insist that The White House's stance has not changed, and sent talking points to congressional Democrats trying to ease concern about the public option.",
"The White House has been \"boringly consistent\" on the issue, The White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.",
"Watch: Is the The White House changing its message? » .",
"Bill Clinton was accused of backtracking after Bill Clinton seemed to back down from Bill Clinton's stated goal of universal coverage at a 1994 National Governors' Association conference.",
"Democrats protested and The White House insisted that Bill Clinton's words were misinterpreted.",
"But those reading the tea leaves knew the effort was losing steam.",
"Some Democrats distanced Some Democrats from Bill Clinton as the 1994 midterm elections neared.",
"Bill Clinton and other key Democrats tried to compromise with a scaled-down version of Bill Clinton's original plan, but the effort unraveled and eventually faded from the agenda.",
"\"It's the art of dealmaking, and it's not surprising that they would both face this.",
"In the face of huge outcry, presidents or politicians look for a compromise,\" Crowley said.",
"\"When you see the possibility that it could go down in flames, you look for ways to appease the critics of it, and both Bill Clinton, and now it appears President Obama, are trying to do that -- to find some way to pass something.\"",
"When Congress reconvenes after the August recess, lawmakers will return to a different climate on Capitol Hill, kindled by the protests of those who have been questioning President Obama's proposals.",
"Sen. Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, said last month that if Republicans can stop President Obama on health care, \"it will be President Obama's Waterloo.\"",
"Bill Clinton's agenda was bruised following Bill Clinton's health care defeat, but it was Bill Clinton's party that was dealt the hardest hits.",
"The Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994 for the first time in 40 years.",
"It took another 12 years to get it back.",
"Mary Matalin, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor, predicted a repeat of history for President Obama, should health care fail.",
"\"What is right about conventional wisdom is, Bill Clinton'll be fine, but the Democrats in Congress won't,\" she said on CNN's \"State of the Union.\"",
"\"And you are already hearing Democrats in Congress saying, 'This is deja vu.",
"This is what happened with Bill Clinton.",
"Bill Clinton makes Democrats in Congress walk the plank, then Democrats in Congress lose,' as they did,\" she said.",
"Bill Clinton acknowledged the political importance of a health care win in Bill Clinton's speech before the Netroots Nation convention last week.",
"Passing comprehensive health care legislation, Bill Clinton said, \"is not only the morally right thing to do.",
"It is politically imperative for The Democrats to pass a health care bill now, because one thing we know and that I have lived through is that if you get out there and then you don't prevail, the victors get to rewrite history.\"",
"Democratic strategist and CNN contributor James Carville said that since it's clear that Senate Democrats don't have the 60 votes needed to get a full Senate vote, Senate Democrats should instead force Republicans to filibuster the bill.",
"\"Then, you say, 'They're the people that stopped it.",
"We had a majority of Democrats.",
"We had a good bill.",
"They stopped it,' \" said Carville, a former adviser to Bill Clinton.",
"Republicans under the Bill Clinton administration threatened to filibuster, but the warnings proved inconsequential, as a good bill never got that far.",
"As health care reaches a turning point for President Obama, \"timing is everything,\" Crowley said.",
"\"It's not an election year -- yet.",
"To me, that works on President Obama's side, where it didn't with Bill Clinton because the minute it becomes an election year, it's just different, because congressmen, senators are looking at what senators's constituents are saying back home, and senators's jobs are on the line,\" Crowley said.",
"But that safety net won't hold for long, and President Obama has only a few more months to show whether history will repeat itself or be rewritten.",
"\"I think the time is critical for President Obama because at the end of the year, Congress goes off and takes a recess ... and so you end up having a pretty narrow time frame, and then when they come back in January -- guess what, it's an election year,\" Crowley said."

"The vote split the Democrats, with 20 supporting a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state and 35 opposing a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state.",

"Supporters of a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state argued a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state would help deter criminals; opponents claimed a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state would, in effect, force most of the country to conform to regulations in states with the loosest gun-ownership standards.",
"Opponents of a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state mounted a huge campaign to stop a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state.",
"Mayors Against Illegal Guns -- which says it represent more than 450 mayors in 40 states -- took out an ad in USA Today opposing a controversial measure to allow people to carry concealed weapons from state to state.",

"\"There's no evidence that if you have a gun, you're safer,\" he said on CNN's \"American Morning\" Wednesday.",
"\"Quite the contrary.",

"He argued that concealed weapons deter crime.",
"\"Carrying a concealed weapon is a sign of self-defense, self-protection, and I think a concealed weapon lowers crime,\" he said.",

"She's been a comedian, talk-show host and feared red carpet fashion critic.",
"Now you can add winner of \"The Celebrity Apprentice\" to Joan Rivers's lengthy resume.",
"Donald Trump and Joan Rivers attend \"The Celebrity Apprentice\" season finale Sunday in New York.",
"After weeks of competition, the 75-year-old dynamo beat out 15 other contestants, including Dennis Rodman, Tom Green and Brian McKnight, to take the top spot in this season's edition of the reality show hosted by Donald Trump.",
"Rivers went up against poker champion Annie Duke in Sunday night's finale in which both women were charged with planning a VIP party and silent auction for the last and deciding task.",
"\"both women're both tough, both women're both smart and they both hate each other,\" Donald Trump observed at the beginning of the reality show hosted by Donald Trump.",
"The apparent tension between Joan Rivers and poker champion Annie Duke continued in the final boardroom, part of which played out in front of a live audience, with both finalists bickering and interrupting each other repeatedly as Donald Trump looked on.",
"In the end, poker champion Annie Duke raised far more money at poker champion Annie Duke's event, but Joan Rivers was able to attract more celebrities and provide a better overall experience for the guests at Joan Rivers's party, and Donald Trump declared Joan Rivers the winner of the competition.",
"\"Your level of energy has been amazing,\" he told Joan Rivers.",
"The victory means $250,000 for Joan Rivers's charity: God's Love We Deliver.",
"If the reality show hosted by Donald Trump thrives on conflict, the reality show hosted by Donald Trump got plenty of mileage out of Joan Rivers.",
"Joan Rivers blew up at country singer Clint Black, referred to another contestant as a \"stupid blonde\" and smashed a champagne glass out of frustration at one point.",
"But Joan Rivers seemed to be especially infuriated by poker champion Annie Duke, calling poker champion Annie Duke a \"despicable human being\" -- the tamest of the insults Joan Rivers hurled in poker champion Annie Duke's direction over the course of the reality show hosted by Donald Trump.",
"Joan Rivers even walked out in a huff after Joan Rivers's daughter, and fellow contestant, Melissa was fired from the reality show hosted by Donald Trump.",
"The exit, complete with bleeped obscenities, was turned into a cliffhanger of sorts when it seemed like Rivers might not come back, but she returned to the reality show hosted by Donald Trump for the next task.",
"You might think a show that's best known for the phrase \"You're fired\" might not do so well in a bad economy when thousands of people have heard similar words for real at thousands of people's workplaces, but the reality show hosted by Donald Trump averaged more than 8 million viewers a week, according to Entertainment Weekly.",
"EW:",
"Did the right one win?",
"Revived formula .",
"\"The Apprentice\" made a splash when it debuted in 2004, making a reality television star out of Donald Trump and contestants such as Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.",
"For several seasons, the reality show hosted by Donald Trump took ambitious young mogul wannabes, divided ambitious young mogul wannabes into teams and had ambitious young mogul wannabes compete in tasks that ranged from selling lemonade to creating advertising campaigns for major corporations.",
"The contestants vied for the chance to run one of Donald Trump's companies for a year, and Donald Trump fired someone from the losing team each week until he selected an apprentice.",
"Over the years, ratings for the reality show hosted by Donald Trump gradually declined, but Revived formula was revived in early 2008 with the first season of \"The Celebrity Apprentice.\"",
"The tasks, pressure-cooker atmosphere and boardroom bickering stayed the same, but the competition now featured contestants with varying degrees of fame and focused on raising money for charity.",
"The first \"Celebrity Apprentice\" top spot went to Piers Morgan, the prickly judge on \"Britain's Got Talent\" who made news this spring when he invited singing sensation Susan Boyle to dinner after Susan Boyle's memorable performance on the show.",
"Morgan also made several appearances on this season's \"Apprentice,\" sitting in as Donald Trump's \"eyes and ears\" during one episode and interviewing the final four candidates in another.",
"Morgan's aggressive questioning seemed to annoy the celebrities, especially Jesse James, who glared icily at Morgan when Morgan kept asking Morgan why Morgan did not turn to Morgan's wife, Sandra Bullock, for help in raising money during the various tasks.",
"Perhaps Bullock might be tempted to try competing on the reality show hosted by Donald Trump herself.",
"NBC announced last month NBC is bringing back \"The Celebrity Apprentice\" for another installment in the spring of 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported."

"Plastic flowers decorate a car destroyed in last week's bombings in Baghdad, Iraq.",
"Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported Iraq was ordering Iraq's ambassador home after Iraq summoned Iraq's envoy from Syria and demanded that Damascus turn over two Iraqis living in Syria who played \"direct roles in the execution of the terror attack,\" last Wednesday, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.",
"A string of bombings struck Iraq's capital August 19, with two truck bombs ripping through the Iraqi Finance Ministry and Foreign Ministry.",

"Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki visited the Foreign Ministry bombing site Tuesday.",
"\"We know it was the Baath Party, known for the Baath Party's heinous crimes throughout history, along with al Qaeda, who did this,\" Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said, according to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's office.",
"The Islamic State of Iraq, the umbrella group for al Qaeda in Iraq, has claimed responsibility for the attack, which Syria condemned.",
"\"Syria felt pain over those bombings and strongly condemned those bombings, describing those explosions as painful terrorist bombings and reiterating the Syrian support to the security, stability, safety and unity of Iraq,\" SANA reported.",
"\"But what is regretful is the hastiness of Iraq to arbitrarily accuse Syria while analysts say the issue was internal political or, perhaps, foreign disagreements.\"",
"Iraq asked Tuesday that Syria \"hand over all those wanted [by the Iraqi judiciary] for committing crimes of murder and destruction against the Iraqi people,\" al-Dabbagh's statement said.",
"al-Dabbagh's further demanded that Syria expel \"terrorist organizations that use Syria as a headquarters and launchpad to plan terrorist operations against the Iraqi people.\"",
"SANA reported that the Syrian government was willing to help the Iraqis investigate those bombings.",
"\"Syria informed the Iraqi side of Syria's readiness to receive an Iraqi delegation to inspect the evidence available to them concerning those bombings's perpetrators,\" a Syrian official said, according to SANA.",
"\"Otherwise Syria considers what has been broadcast through the Iraqi media as mere fabricated evidence intended to serve internal political goals, and the conflicting and contradicting statements by the Iraqi officials are proof of that.\"",
"a Syrian official added, \"Syria, which has frequently repeated Syria's keenness on the unity, independence, security and stability of Iraq, expresses Syria's regret that relations between Syria and Iraq have become subject to internal disagreements and perhaps foreign agendas.\"",
"In its claim of responsibility for the attacks, Iraq said, \"The earth shook under Iraq's feet and Iraq's hearts were torn in fear and horror.",
"... And the weakness and fragility of Iraq's state became apparent to everyone.\"",
"The statement was posted on Web sites typically used by the group.",

"The spokesman for al-Ahmed's wing of the Baath Party in Syria contended Monday that the videotaped statement was fabricated and alleged that Wissam Ali Kadhim Ibrahim, who was identified as a former Baathist police official could have been paid to make it.",
"The spokesman for al-Ahmed's wing of the Baath Party in Syria said the paths and ideologies of the Baath Party in Syria could never meet with those of al Qaeda, and blamed the attacks on struggles between Shiite parties in Iraq.",
"Some midlevel and senior members of the Baath Party in Syria sought refuge in Syria after the U.S. invasion that ousted former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003.",

"Automotive expert Tom Torbjornsen, Smoke is coming out of the tailpipe of my 2002 Chrysler Sebring with 90,000 miles.",
"Is this a big problem?",
"I have to put a quart of oil a week in An oil-thirsty engine.",
"What should I do?",
"-- Sally, New York .",
"Sally, Generally, engines burn oil due to a few reasons: bad valve seals, worn valve guides, pressurized crankcase (oil pan) due to a clogged PCV valve or breather system, and blow-by from worn piston rings.",
"Bad valve seals:",
"The valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber.",
"Oil is pumped at 40 to 80 PSI (pounds/square inch) of pressure into the top of the head, lubricating the valve-train.",
"The valves have seals to stop the flow of oil down into An oil-thirsty engine when the valve is open.",
"If seals to stop the flow of oil down into the engine when the valve is open fail then oil is allowed to flow down into the combustion chamber and is burned.",
"Worn valve guides:",
"A small cylindrical chamber called a valve guide does just what A small cylindrical chamber's name says ...",
"A small cylindrical chamber guides the valves.",
"These guides wear out over time causing eccentricity (slop).",
"The excess gap that forms allows oil to flow down the valve stem into the combustion chamber to be burned.",
"Normally the valve seal stops this flow.",
"However, in this case the gap is too great for the valve seal to work.",
"AOL Autos:",
"Should you use synthetic motor oil?",
"Pressurized crankcase due to clogged PCV or breather system: Your car's engine is a giant air pump, consequently Your car's engine must breathe.",
"The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system allows Your car's engine to exhaust the excess pressure buildup (which is a natural phenomenon of the internal combustion engine).",
"Carbon is a by-product of an engine and can build up in The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, clogging the breathing passages.",
"This in turn pressurizes the oil pan and pushes oil up into the fuel delivery system where it is fed into Your car's engine and burned.",
"AOL Autos:",
"Do I need to replace my air filter?",
"Blow-by from worn piston rings:",
"The pistons in your car's engine have seals around The pistons in your car's engine in the form of rings.",
"These rings have two functions: (1) These rings seal the combustion chamber so that the power developed from the firing of the cylinder is not lost.",
"(2) These rings provide vital lubrication to the cylinder walls.",
"When These rings wear out, the pressure from combustion reverses down into the oil pan, pressurizing it, and forcing oil into the valve covers.",
"From there it goes through the breather system, back into the fuel delivery system, and into Your car's engine to be burned.",
"I have to put a quart of oil a week in Your car's engine.",
"Is this a big problem?",
"It's hard to say without performing some diagnostics on Your car's engine.",
"A quart of oil a week is excessive.",
"It could be due to a plugged PCV or excessive internal engine wear.",
"Take the car into the shop for engine diagnostics.",
"My guess is that the tech will perform a compression test along with a cylinder leak down test after he/she determines if the PCV system is open.",
"During these tests the tech tries to determine if there is loss of engine compression, blow-by, or excessive oil consumption due to ring wear.",
"If excessive ring wear is discovered then further engine teardown will be necessary to determine if Your car's engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced.",
"AOL Autos:",
"How often should you change your oil .",
"What is the difference between blue and white smoke?",
"Your car's engine can emit different colors of smoke: .",
"Blue smoke:",
"Blue typically means that engine oil is being burned in the combustion chamber.",
"In rare cases, when a vehicle is equipped with a transmission that uses a device called a vacuum modulator valve (to soften shifts between gears according to engine vacuum) the diaphragm can break inside the valve and cause transmission fluid to be sucked into Your car's engine via the vacuum line feeding the valve and burn.",
"AOL Autos: Fluid leaks: unsafe and expensive .",

"William Safire joined New York Times as a columnist in 1973.",

"William Safire rejoined the President Nixon team in 1968, when the Republican eventually won the White House, and became one of the administration's top speechwriters.",

"But William Safire left the administration to join that nattering club in 1973, when William Safire left the President Nixon administration to join the Times.",
"William Safire's often-pugnacious voice -- William Safire once denounced then-first lady Hillary Clinton as a \"congenital liar\" -- held down the right flank of the Times' op-ed page for more than three decades.",

"Safire also wrote four novels, several collections of columns and a political dictionary that was first published in 1968.",

"KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) --",
"One Marine was killed in action and several others wounded Thursday in a major U.S.-led offensive in southern Afghanistan, the Marines said.",
"the Marines prepare for Operation Khanjar at Forward Operating Base Dwyer, Afghanistan, on Thursday.",
"The push, called Operation Khanjar, is targeting militants in Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold and poppy-growing region.",
"The forces are attempting to gain and hold ground in poppy-growing region ahead of national elections in August.",
"Almost 4,000 Marines and sailors, along with several hundred Afghan security forces and British troops, worked to clear Taliban militants from population centers in the Helmand River valley.",
"Almost 4,000 Marines and sailors have been operating in the districts of Nawa and Garmsir in central Helmand province and \"as far south as the vicinity of Khan Neshin, the capital of Rig district in the region of the Helmand River valley known as 'The Fishhook.' \"",
"the Marines stressed the mission \"is to provide security for population centers\" and \"connect local citizens with local citizens's legitimate government while establishing stable and secure conditions for national elections.\"",
"Helmand's governor, Gulab Mangal, said Helmand's governor, Gulab Mangal believes Operation Khanjar will work and has assured the populace that Operation Khanjar will provide security for the populace.",
"Helmand's governor, Gulab Mangal's spokesman also confirmed that resistance had been minimal.",
"the Marines said about 80 percent of the Marines are in direct combat, with the rest working in support.",
"Taliban resistance has been light and sporadic, consisting of intermittent small arms fire, the Marines said on Thursday.",
"the Marines have encountered only relatively small groups of militants.",
"\"Indications are the militants break away shortly after the militants make contact,\" Marine spokesman 1st Lt. Abe Sipe said, referring to what is regarded as the Taliban's habit of running and hiding after troops confront them.",
"A Taliban spokesman said the group's fighters had killed 33 soldiers and destroyed several vehicles.",
"CNN could not independently verify the Taliban claims because of safety and access issues.",
"There has been an outcry in Afghanistan over civilian deaths in the Afghan war's crossfire, with much ire directed toward coalition air operations.",
"But the Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan emphasized in a news release that the Marines have not \"received any confirmed reports of civilian casualties or damage to property.\"",
"the Marines said the Marines have not utilized \"artillery or other indirect fire weapons, and no bombs have been dropped from aircraft.\"",
"the Marines operates under NATO's International Security Assistance Force.",
"The assault has prompted Pakistani authorities to redeploy troops along the Afghan border to stop Taliban from escaping the push in poppy-growing region.",
"More than 30 U.S., British and Danish troops have been killed there since January, with the latest being the Marine on Thursday and a pair of British soldiers slain in poppy-growing region on Wednesday.",
"the push is the largest since the Pentagon began moving additional troops into the conflict this year, and the push comes after a British-led operation launched last week in the same region, the Marines said.",
"When President Obama announced President Obama's strategy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan, President Obama said American soldiers and Marines \"will take the fight to Taliban in the south and the east, and give us a greater capacity to partner with Afghan security forces and to go after insurgents along the border.\"",
"President Obama also said the bolstered deployment \"will also help provide security\" ahead of August presidential elections in Afghanistan.",
"The Obama administration has moved about 21,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan, the original front in the war launched after the September 11 attacks.",
"It is also the first big move since U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal took over as the allied commander in Afghanistan in mid-June.",
"In Washington, a senior defense official said the size and scope of Operation Khanjar are \"very significant.\"",
"\"It's not common for forces to operate at the brigade level,\" a senior defense official said.",
"\"In fact, they often only conduct missions at the platoon level.",
"And they're going into the most troubled area of Afghanistan.\"",
"a senior defense official said Operation Khanjar is a \"tangible indication\" of the new approach that McChrystal -- a former chief of the Pentagon's special operations command -- is bringing to the nearly eight-year war.",
"\"They're not just doing an offensive push to get bad guys; they're going in to hold the area and stay there,\" a senior defense official said.",
"\"This approach is indicative of McChrystal's philosophy: measuring success by the number of Afghans protected, not bad guys killed.\"",
"During McChrystal's confirmation hearing in June, McChrystal told senators that the conflict requires a new focus on counterinsurgency to reduce violence and build support for the U.S.-led NATO alliance among Afghans.",
"\"Although I expect stiff fighting ahead, the measure of success will not be enemy killed.",
"the measure of success will be shielding the Afghan population from violence,\" McChrystal said.",
"Taliban ruled most of Afghanistan before Taliban's allies in al Qaeda attacked New York and Washington on September 11, 2001.",
"Though quickly toppled after the attacks, Taliban's leaders escaped, and the movement regrouped in the Afghan countryside and across the border in Pakistan.",
"poppy-growing region was once known as the breadbasket of Afghanistan, but the fertile land is now used for growing poppies.",
"Afghanistan produces more than 90 percent of the world's opium, with most of that coming from the poppies in poppy-growing region.",
"The drug trade is an import source of income for the Taliban and major supply routes run through poppy-growing region.",
"CNN's Atia Abawi in Afghanistan, Nic Robertson in Pakistan and Chris Lawrence and Barbara Starr at the Pentagon contributed to this report."

"Airline passengers who were trapped on tarmacs \"like sardines in a can\" had Airline passengers who were trapped on tarmacs \"like sardines in a's opportunity to air Airline passengers who were trapped on tarmacs \"like sardines in a's grievances Tuesday at an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing that shared some of the characteristics of those flights.",
"an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing that shared some of the characteristics of those flights was sponsored by advocates of the Airline Passenger Bill of Rights.",
"an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing that shared some of the characteristics of those flights was overbooked: The room had more participants than seats.",
"The take-off was slightly delayed: The hearings started five minutes late.",
"And, appropriately, it lasted more than three hours, the maximum time passenger advocates say people should be confined on the ground.",
"an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing that shared some of the characteristics of those flights was sponsored by advocates of the Airline Passenger Bill of Rights, which would require airlines to give passengers the option of leaving a plane after it has sat on the ground for three hours.",
"The proposal, which lacked adequate support in 2007 and 2008, has gained steam this year because of several highly publicized incidents, including a nearly six-hour overnight wait involving a regional jet in Rochester, Minnesota.",
"\"We were not offered food.",
"We were not offered water,\" said Link Christin, one of 47 passengers on the Rochester plane.",
"\"The toilet broke at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was impossible to sleep.",
"Either Baby One cried, or Baby Two cried, or my foot got stepped on by somebody going to the bathroom.\"",
"\"People have asked me, 'Why didn't you do something?' \" he said.",
"\"As a practical matter, you're a little bit in shock; you're in survival mode.",
"You're being told every hour that you're going to get off.",
"... There was always a carrot in front of us that we think is going to get us off the Rochester plane.",
"And I suggest to you that that's why 47 people did not mutiny that evening.\"",
"The star witness for the passenger advocates was Robert Crandall, former chairman and chief executive of American Airlines, who spoke in support of the three-hour limit.",
"\"We can and we should solve the problem of extraordinarily long tarmac delay by imposing reasonable obligations on the airlines and other agencies that make up our aviation system,\" Crandall said.",
"But Crandall added that Crandall favors a looser four-hour limit until 2011 to give the industry time to adjust operating procedures.",
"Crandall said the industry's resistance to the rule is rooted in its \"preoccupation with safety.\"",
"the industry resists any change \"that is not fully understood and has not been thought through in every detail,\" Crandall said.",
"Crandall said Crandall believes that the rule can be made without affecting safety.",
"While saying that lengthy tarmac delays can have significant impacts on individuals, Crandall said the problem is statistically small.",
"In the first seven months of this year, only 776 of 3.8 million flights -- or 0.02 percent -- experienced tarmac delays of more than three hours, Crandall said.",
"Sen. Barbara Boxer, sponsor of the Airline Passenger Bill of Rights, called her bill \"extremely modest,\" saying many passenger advocates want even tighter time limits.",
"the rule would give pilots discretion to keep passengers on board longer than three hours for safety reasons, such as lightning storms, or if the pilot believed that the plane would take off shortly.",
"But two hearing participants testified that a three-hour rule could worsen the situation, increasing the number of canceled flights.",
"\"I don't believe the rule will actually change things very much at all, given the small number of affected flights,\" said Amy Cohn, an associate professor at the University of Michigan.",
"\"And when it does change things, I think some passengers may be helped, and others may be harmed.\"",
"If one passenger insists on being released, Amy Cohn, an associate professor at the University of Michigan said, the plane would return to the terminal, possibly delaying departure for everyone else on the plane.",
"Amy Cohn, an associate professor at the University of Michigan said the focus on extremely lengthy delays is also diverting attention from the more pressing problem of routine delays.",
"If Congress fixed routine delays, it would help alleviate lengthy delays, Amy Cohn, an associate professor at the University of Michigan said.",
"Tuesday's hearing was sponsored by FlyersRights.org and the Business Travel Coalition.",
"And though it was held in a House of Representatives office building, it was not an official House hearing.",
"Writers and editors for travel industry publications took the place of members of Congress in questioning the witnesses.",
"Organizers said the top airline industry organization declined to participate."

"Matador Joselito Ortega is breaking tradition and carrying advertising on Matador Joselito Ortega's capes in the bullring -- promoting a soft drink aimed at gays",
"Matador Joselito Ortega in an exhibition fight on Sept. 23 in the southern Spanish city of Malaga.",
"While fighting bulls, Matador Joselito Ortega will use capes embroidered with the words \"Gay Up,\" the name of the energy drink.",
"The move has many in the macho-steeped world of bullfighting seeing red.",
"But Ortega, 29, told CNN, \"I'm glad to be the first person (in bullfighting) whom the gay community will take as an icon.\"",
"\"People think the bullfighter is very tough, very rude and People only like women,\" Matador Joselito Ortega added.",
"\"But we are in 2009.",
"Everything must change.\"",
"Industry experts said it would be the first time advertising will appear on bullfighter's capes -- the large one used when the bull rushes into the ring, and a smaller one used later as the matador moves in for the kill.",
"In the 1980s, matador Luis Reina had a contract showing the brand name of Japanese electronics giant Akai on parts of matador Luis Reina's shiny \"suit of lights,\" while fighting.",
"\"But that lasted just one or two fights,\" recalls Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez.",

"\"The cape is a sacred thing,\" said Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez, adding that it's fine for premier bullfighters -- who are treated like rock stars -- to have lucrative endorsement deals for products, but only outside of the ring.",
"This is the first endorsement deal of any kind for Matador Joselito Ortega.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega became a full matador in 2006, facing the biggest bulls, but said Matador Joselito Ortega's fought only six or seven fights since then.",
"Yet a bullfighter in demand can have dozens of fights in just a single season.",
"\"Matador Joselito Ortega is a new bullfighter and Matador Joselito Ortega might see this as a way to get known,\" Curro Vazquez, a former bullfighter who now manages one of Spain's top-tier matadors, Cayetano Rivero Ordonez said.",
"If so, it appears to be working.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega and Matador Joselito Ortega's drinks company have been flooded with media queries since Ortega and his drinks company made the announcement this week.",
"Pedro Suarez, the CEO at Grupo Banus Pi, the firm that makes Gay Up and took over management of Matador Joselito Ortega's career just two weeks ago, said they plan to organize an exhibition fight for Matador Joselito Ortega soon, and sell the TV rights exclusively.",
"Gay Up is a non-alcoholic energy drink made in Spain, drawn from a formula originally from Colombia.",
"Suarez said the company tried to sponsor a Spanish football (soccer) team but was turned down because of the Gay Up brand.",
"Then they found Ortega, who says Matador Joselito Ortega's not gay.",
"Matador Joselito Ortega's been gored six or seven times in Matador Joselito Ortega's career, which started 13 years ago as a junior bullfighter.",
"\"All sports teams have advertising on All sports teams's uniforms,\" Matador Joselito Ortega said, insisting Matador Joselito Ortega'd continue to fight bulls the same way, even with ads on Matador Joselito Ortega's capes.",
"Bull breeder Juan Pedro Domecq Morenes welcomed the change, saying it might help revive Spain's billion-dollar bullfighting industry, which Bull breeder Juan Pedro Domecq Morenes said in recent years has seen a 45 percent decline in the number of fights, especially in smaller village bullrings.",

"Michigan's Supreme Court issued an order Tuesday allowing lower state courts to \"exercise reasonable control\" over the appearance of witnesses and parties, a rule change proposed after a Muslim woman refused to remove an Islamic garment in a small claims court.",
"A niqab is a garment that covers the entire face and head, except for the eyes.",
"The order allows courts \"reasonable control over the appearance of parties and witnesses\" so as to \"ensure that the demeanor of such persons may be observed and assessed by the fact-finder and ensure the accurate identification of such person.\"",
"The order, which amends a rule of the Michigan Rules of Evidence, is effective September 1.",
"The amendment was prompted by a 2006 small claims case in Michigan filed by Ginnah Muhammad, who wore a niqab -- a garment that covers the entire face and head, except for the eyes -- to court, The order said.",
"According to the Detroit Free Press, Muhammad was contesting a $2,750 repair bill from a car rental company because Muhammad said thieves broke into the vehicle Muhammad was using.",
"As Muhammad prepared to testify, Judge Paul Paruk asked Muhammad to remove Muhammad's niqab, saying Judge Paul Paruk needed to be able to see Muhammad's face to tell whether Muhammad was telling the truth, according to court documents.",
"\"I can't see certain things about your demeanor and temperament that I need to see in a court of law,\" Judge Paul Paruk said at the time.",
"Muhammad refused, saying that Muhammad was a practicing Muslim and would take off the veil only in front of a female judge.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The Supreme Court has agreed to review a civil liberties dispute over Government's power to criminalize \"support\" of a terrorist organization.",
"The Supreme Court will review a key provision of the 2001 Patriot Act.",
"The justices on Wednesday accepted review of a key provision of the 2001 Patriot Act, and whether the 2001 Patriot Act threatens free speech rights of those who would assist non-violent activities of designated groups.",
"Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States, federal prosecutors have pursued \"material support\" cases against at least 120 individuals or organizations, winning convictions in about half of those cases.",
"Nearly every such domestic terrorism-related prosecution has included that charge as part of the indictment.",
"At issue is whether the 2001 Patriot Act allows prosecution of those with knowledge of \"any service, training, expert advice or assistance\" to a foreign terrorist organization, as designated by Government.",
"A federal appeals court in San Francisco, California, struck down several parts of the legislation, finding them too vague to satisfy the Constitution.",
"Government then asked the high court to intervene and uphold the 2001 Patriot Act.",
"Among those charged under the \"material support\" provision: John Walker Lindh, an American Muslim captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan; the \"Lackawanna Six,\" men from Buffalo, New York, who attended an al Qaeda training camp; several men in Portland, Oregon, who allegedly sought to travel to Afghanistan to fight on behalf of the Taliban; a group of young Virginia individuals who allegedly tried to assist a Kashmir terror group; and James Ujaama, an African-American activist in Seattle, Washington.",
"The key plaintiff in the current appeal is the Humanitarian Law Project, a Los Angeles, California-based non-profit that says its mission is to advocate \"for the peaceful resolution of armed conflicts and for worldwide compliance with humanitarian law and human rights law.\"",
"HLP sought to help the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a group active in Turkey.",
"Known as PKK, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a group active in Turkey was founded in the mid-1970s and has been labeled a terror organization by the United States and the European Union.",
"the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a group active in Turkey's leaders have previously called for militancy to create a separate Kurdish state in parts of Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran, where Kurds comprise a population majority.",
"In its appeal to the high court, the government noted that \"since its inception, the organization has waged a violent insurgency that has claimed over 22,000 lives.\"",
"HLP claimed HLP wanted to advocate on behalf of the PKK before the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, and conduct other advisory sessions and public awareness campaigns.",
"Another plaintiff is an American physician who wanted to help ethnic Tamils in an American physician who wanted to help ethnic Tamils in his native Sri Lanka's native Sri Lanka.",
"Much of the island nation is controlled by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, which has also fought for decades to carve an independent state.",
"The government claims the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, which has also fought for decades to carve an independent state have \"used suicide bombings and political assassinations in its campaign for independence, killing hundreds of civilians in the process.\"",
"HLP and a group of Tamil doctors say HLP and a group of Tamil doctors merely wanted \"to provide HLP and a group of Tamil doctors's expert medical advice on how to address the shortage of medical facilities and trained physicians\" in the region but \"HLP and a group of Tamil doctors are afraid to do so because HLP and a group of Tamil doctors fear prosecution for providing material support.\"",
"the 2001 Patriot Act was passed six weeks after the 9/11 terrorism attacks.",
"the 2001 Patriot Act included amending a previous anti-terror law to strengthen the \"expert advice and assistance\" provision, making it a crime punishable by a 10- to 15-year prison sentence.",
"The Justice Department calls the material support provision \"a vital part of the nation's effort to fight international terrorism.\"",
"Officials told the justices the law is constitutional since \"the statute in question regulates conduct, not speech, and does not violate the First Amendment in any of its applications.\"",
"And the government argues lawmakers properly used lawmakers's authority to address a pressing problem.",
"\"Congress has banned a broad range of material support -- regardless of whether the terrorist group claims to engage in otherwise lawful activities, and regardless of whether the support is ostensibly given to assist those supposedly lawful activities,\" said the administration's brief.",
"The case is Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project (08-1498).",
"Oral arguments will be held early next year, with a decision expected by the spring."

"Editor's note: Harry Shearer is an actor, author, director, satirist, musician, radio host, playwright, fine artist and record label owner who is the voice of a variety of regular characters on \"The Simpsons,\" most notably Mr. Burns, Smithers and insufferable neighbor Ned Flanders.",
"Harry Shearer says the White House isn't getting actively involved in protecting New Orleans from flooding.",
"(CNN)",
"-- I spent much of this month in my adopted hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.",
"Uncharacteristically for August, the streets and restaurants and galleries and music clubs were largely full and throbbing with energy.",
"There are hubs of entrepreneurs all over town trying to invent the future.",
"And thankfully, Mayor Ray Nagin's term is only months away from Mayor Ray Nagin's term's end.",
"Between my weeks in the Crescent City, I joined some local folks in traipsing up to the Aspen Institute to share the news of New Orleans with interested outsiders.",
"One talked about the progress in rebuilding homes.",
"Another discussed the reform of the public-school system, the decoupling of the schools from a centralized board, resulting in New Orleans becoming the leader in charter-school enrollment.",
"A third talked about the move to neighborhood medical clinics, an effort to replace the hospital beds missing in the flooding's wake.",
"A fourth reported the good economic statistics, marred only by the continuing shortage in affordable rental housing (80,000 units were whacked by the flood).",
"And a fifth discussed the citizen activism that is helping, along with a determined U.S. attorney (who's just sent Rep. William Jefferson and William Jefferson's brother Mose to jail), to clean up local politics.",
"After all, it was New Jersey pols, not New Orleans ones, who got snagged in a scheme involving black-market kidneys.",
"Wish we'd thought of that.",
"All good news.",
"And all transpiring under a shadow, one made all too evident early last week when New Orleans experienced a collective shudder as the spinning cyclonic shape of Hurricane Bill appeared on TV screens.",
"New Orleans, hit so hard by what so many (including President Obama in President Obama's Sunday interview with the local newspaper) still see fit to describe, mistakenly, as a natural disaster, is making remarkable progress, while the agency that so disastrously failed at building a protective system mandated by Congress -- the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -- may be making some of the same mistakes in rebuilding that system.",
"And the White House, for the second consecutive administration, seems not to care.",
"Me?",
"I'm a humorist, a comic actor, a sometime musician-filmmaker-novelist-blogger.",
"What the hell do I know about what happened to the city I love?",
"Since the levees collapsed, I've been reading the local newspaper, the Times-Picayune, watching and listening to the local media, which, post-disaster, have rediscovered their mission to make local news more than a recitation of the previous day's murders, car crashes and celebrity misbehaviors.",
"While the national media packed up and moved away after the initial orgasm of anger at FEMA, the local media reported something remarkable: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was claiming that the flooding was due to the \"overtopping\" of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's levees and floodwalls, while two teams of pro-bono forensic investigators were finding evidence that no overtopping had occurred.",
"As the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers started denigrating pro-bono forensic investigators, pro-bono forensic investigators kept digging, and kept coming up with the real story, available now for all to see (though all too few have) as the ILIT report from the University of California at Berkeley and the Team Louisiana report from Louisiana State University.",
"the ILIT report from the University of California at Berkeley and the Team Louisiana report from Louisiana State University's conclusions: The \"hurricane protection system\" built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had serious design and construction flaws, baked into The \"hurricane protection system\" built by the Corps over 40 years under administrations of both parties, that caused catastrophic failure in more than 50 locations under storm surge conditions markedly less than The \"hurricane protection system\" built by the Corps was advertised to withstand.",
"You and I, federal taxpayers, had paid to flood New Orleans.",
"Since the Obama administration took office, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has: announced that one part of the new \"system\" will be built using a \"technically not superior\" solution, because of funding problems; and, defying a Congressional mandate, delivered a report supposed to offer a post-2011 plan for so-called Category 5 storm protection 20 months late and lacking a specific plan, offering only a menu of possible options.",
"It's almost as if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is inviting someone else to do the job.",
"Someone else can.",
"A New Orleans architect, David Waggonner, has been convening a group of local architects and planners and engineers and their Dutch colleagues to mine the eight centuries of collective wisdom of the Netherlands about the challenge of living with water.",
"The resulting plans, published as the \"Dutch dialogues,\" make for inspiring and depressing reading; inspiring because they offer a vision of a city that has stopped fighting a war against water and has learned to use water both to enhance value and to enhance safety, depressing because there is so clearly no federal impetus, from the president on down, to embrace such a new approach.",
"President Obama, who has mainly limited the president's comments about New Orleans to feel-good boilerplate, did pledge to make good on the president's promise on that eerie, floodlit night in a deserted Jackson Square in 2005, to rebuild New Orleans better and stronger.",
"But the president has yet to actively intervene to make sure New Orleans gets state-of-the-art flood protection and robust and timely coastal wetland reconstruction.",
"Like the president, the president so far seems to be acting as if just saying it makes it so.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Harry Shearer."

"Michael Schumacher remains very much part of the Ferrari set-up as an advisor for the Formula One team.",
"The 28-year-old Brazilian is currently in intensive care at the AEK military hospital in Budapest after suffering a fractured skull in a freak accident in qualifying for Saturday's Hungarian Grand Prix.",
"the injured Felipe Massa's condition has improved in the past 24 hours with doctors taking the injured Felipe Massa out of a medically-induced coma on Monday night.",

"\"My expectation is that the injured Felipe Massa would walk out of the AEK military hospital in Budapest on the injured Felipe Massa's own.",

"I would like to point out that, although the injured Felipe Massa is recovering, this is not the end of the story, the injured Felipe Massa is still in a life-threatening condition.",
"Of course, the danger is decreasing by the day.\"",
"While the news regarding Massa's condition continues to be encouraging, behind the scenes Ferrari are faced with the task of finding a replacement driver.",
"Doctors have said the injured Felipe Massa will be out for at least six weeks, although there are still fears the injured Felipe Massa may never return as a result of the injured Felipe Massa's injuries.",
"the injured Felipe Massa will certainly miss the European and Belgian Grands Prix at the end of August, although the current four-week break before the next race in Valencia gives the Italian team time to assess their options.",
"On the list of likely replacements could be Schumacher -- who won five of his drivers' titles with Ferrari and works as an advisor for the team.",
"The 40-year-old German's representative Sabine Kehm told CNN: \"There is no offer from Ferrari, but if Ferrari decided Ferrari need Ferrari, Ferrari would certainly weigh Ferrari's options.\"",
"Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni later confirmed to the Press Association that Schumacher, who retired in 2006, was an option.",
"\"We have said before that it is possible that Michael Schumacher could return to help us out,\" said Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni.",
"\"However, we have two test drivers at Ferrari (Luca Badoer and Marc Gene) at the moment and Ferrari is an advisor.",
"Does safety need to be improved in Formula One?",
"\"We have not spoken to Ferrari and we will have to wait and see what happens.",
"It is something for (Ferrari team principal) Stefano Domenicali to consider over the coming weeks.",
"\"We need to see how the injured Felipe Massa is and the situation will evolve from there.",
"We are not in any hurry, the first and foremost thing is the injured Felipe Massa's recovery.\"",
"Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni also provided further encouraging news regarding the injured Felipe Massa, although Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni played down Bazso's assertion that the injured Felipe Massa could walk out of hospital as early as next week.",
"\"I think that on Monday the injured Felipe Massa improved a lot but we have to remain cautious,\" Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni said.",
"\"It is not useful to put forecasts on these things.",
"I think for the moment we should just enjoy the positive improvements that the injured Felipe Massa is making.\"",
"the injured Felipe Massa was hurt when a spring that had fallen from the back of Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP car struck the injured Felipe Massa on the helmet at high-speed, causing the injured Felipe Massa to lose control of the injured Felipe Massa's car and crash into a tire barrier.",
"On Monday, Professor Robert Veres, the surgeon who operated on the injured Felipe Massa over the weekend, told reporters that the injured Felipe Massa had suffered some damage to the injured Felipe Massa's left eye, which could threaten the injured Felipe Massa's future in the sport.",
"\"It's too early to say about the injured Felipe Massa's future as we don't know the extent of the damage.",
"Without an operation it's very hard to evaluate the eye's function,\" said Vares.",
"the injured Felipe Massa's crash came less than a week after Formula Two driver Henry Surtees, the son of former world champion John Surtees, was killed in similar circumstances, knocked unconscious by a tire which flew off another car in a race at Brands Hatch in England, before crashing.",
"Formula One's safety record has improved dramatically in recent years, with the last fatality in 1994 when the legendary Brazilian Ayrton Senna crashed at Imola."

"At the time of the cancellation, officials said, renewal of program was being considered.",
"At that point, program had been brought to the new CIA director's attention.",
"CIA Director Leon Panetta canceled the effort in part because Congress had not been notified about it, officials said.",

"Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who ran CIA from 2006 to 2009, downplayed the program during a speaking engagement in Washington.",
"\"This was not a very prominent thing during my time as director,\" Hayden said.",
"\"What you had were three separate efforts under three different directors to deal with an issue that everyone understood was a problem in a capacity that everyone agreed we should have.\"",
"A spokesman for CIA would not comment on the details of the still-classified program.",
"\"CIA Director Leon Panetta thought this effort should be briefed to Congress, and CIA Director Leon Panetta did so,\" spokesman George Little said.",
"\"CIA Director Leon Panetta also knew program hadn't been successful, so CIA Director Leon Panetta ended program.",

"Blackwater says Blackwater's employees were returning fire after its employees were attacked by armed insurgents, but an Iraqi investigation concluded that the guards randomly fired at civilians without provocation.",
"The incident led to The Iraqi government's refusal to renew the firm's operating license in the country when it expired in May.",
"Although Blackwater lost the Iraq contract, the company, which changed Blackwater's name to Xe earlier this year, continued to get multimillion-dollar contracts from the U.S. government for work in Afghanistan."

"Image released by the Brazilian Air Force shows oil slicks in the water near a debris site.",
"Airlines confirmed that at least a dozen aircraft departed roughly at the same time and traversed approximately the same route, but did not report problematic weather conditions.",
"This has led some aviation experts to suggest that technical problems on the airplane might be the main cause of the crash, though they may have combined with weather conditions to create serious problems.",
"The new information raises more questions than answers about Air France 447, believed to have plunged into the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between the coasts of Brazil and West Africa on May 31, presumably killing all 228 aboard.",
"the plane's computer system reported a series of technical problems about four hours after takeoff and immediately after entering a large storm system a few hundred miles from the far eastern coast of Brazil.",
"Severe winds, updrafts and even lightning have been mentioned as possible causes of the crash, potentially triggering a failure of The plane's technical systems.",
"But aviation experts cautioned that weather alone would not normally cause a crash.",
"Planes routinely fly through large storms, using the sensitive radar on board to navigate through specific storm cells.",
"When conditions are severe enough, planes can easily deviate around or above storms, experts say.",
"In addition to Flight 447, Air France had four other Paris-bound flights that left in the same broad time frame from that part of the world, according to an airline spokesman.",
"One flight left Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at 4:20 p.m. At that same moment, another Air France flight left nearby Sao Paulo.",
"A third Air France flight left Buenos Aires, Argentina, at 5:50 p.m., also heading for Paris.",
"A final Air France flight left Sao Paulo at 7:10 p.m., almost exactly when the doomed flight took off from Rio.",
"All of these flights took a similar route toward Paris, heading first toward Recife on the east coast of Brazil and then continuing northeast over the Atlantic.",
"None of the other flights experienced anything unusual, an airline spokesman said.",
"All arrived in Paris the next day, with no significant delays of any kind.",
"That same evening two Air France flights bound for Madrid, Spain, left Brazil at about the same time as Flight 447; one departed from Rio de Janeiro and another from Sao Paulo, according to officials at Air France.",
"Those flights also reported no problems.",
"It was the same story for one British Airways flight and three Air TAM Brazil flights, all of which flew routes similar to the missing plane.",
"Although none of the other flights are known to have reported weather problems en route, aviation experts said weather can change suddenly and vary over short distances, so one plane might experience conditions far worse than another."

"(CNN) -- U.S. troops have launched a \"major operation\" against Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan, U.S. military officials announced in Afghanistan early Thursday.",
"U.S. Marines gather for a briefing in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on Wednesday.",
"About 4,000 Americans, mostly from U.S. Marines, and 650 Afghan soldiers and police launched Operation Khanjar -- \"strike of the sword\" -- in the Helmand River valley, the U.S. command in Kabul announced.",
"The push is the largest since the Pentagon began moving additional troops into the conflict this year, and The push follows a British-led operation launched last week in the same region, U.S. Marines said.",
"The push is also the first big move since U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal took over as the allied commander in Afghanistan in mid-June.",
"In Washington, a senior defense official said the size and scope of Operation Khanjar are \"very significant.\"",
"\"It's not common for forces to operate at the brigade level,\" a senior defense official said.",
"\"In fact, they often only conduct missions at the platoon level.",
"And they're going into the most troubled area of Afghanistan.\"",
"Helmand Province, where much of the fighting is taking place, has been a hotbed of Taliban violence in recent months.",
"At least 25 U.S. and British troops have been killed there in 2009.",
"a senior defense official said Operation Khanjar is a \"tangible indication\" of the new approach that McChrystal -- a former chief of the Pentagon's special operations command -- is bringing to the nearly eight-year war.",
"\"They're not just doing an offensive push to get bad guys; they're going in to hold the area and stay there,\" a senior defense official said.",
"\"This approach is indicative of McChrystal's philosophy: measuring success by the number of Afghans protected, not bad guys killed.\"",
"The Obama administration has moved about 21,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan, the original front in the war launched after the September 11 attacks.",
"During McChrystal's confirmation hearing in June, McChrystal told senators that the conflict requires a new focus on counterinsurgency to reduce violence and build support for the U.S.-led NATO alliance among Afghans.",
"\"Although I expect stiff fighting ahead, the measure of success will not be enemy killed.",
"the measure of success will be shielding the Afghan population from violence,\" McChrystal said.",
"The Islamic fundamentalist Taliban ruled most of Afghanistan before The Islamic fundamentalist Taliban's allies in the al Qaeda terrorist network attacked New York and Washington in 2001.",
"Though quickly toppled after the September 11 attacks, its leaders escaped, and the movement regrouped in the Afghan countryside and across the border in Pakistan.",

"The Pentagon has revolutionized warfare during the past decade, making unmanned aerial vehicles, known as UAVs, a staple of modern combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.",
"A USAF technician at Creech Air Force Base, checks Hellfire missile attachments on a Predator.",
"Remotely-controlled drones, such as the Predator and the Reaper, have allowed the U.S. military to spy on and attack enemy combatants without putting their own forces at risk, thereby making UAVs a must-have.",
"\"The real advantage of unmanned aerial systems is unmanned aerial systems allow you to project power without projecting vulnerability,\" says USAF Lt. Gen. David Deptula at The Pentagon.",
"But as USAF commanders try to provide enough pilots to take charge of drones, many are considering another aspect of the warfare revolution -- the psychological impact on those controlling the vehicles.",
"As Dr. Kory Cornum, a USAF colonel, explains: \"Whereas we have thousands of years of data on what it's like to go to war really, we only have a few years of data on what it's like to go to war virtually.",
"And so we don't have really enough data.\"",
"Pilots are now dealing with something never experienced before -- a rapid transition from intense combat to home comfort, often in less than an hour.",
"Some describe it as a version of post-traumatic stress disorder, often more associated with soldiers directly in harm's way.",
"Peter Singer, an adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign team and author of \"Wired for War,\" described one encounter with a frustrated non-commissioned officer.",
"\"a frustrated non-commissioned officer actually banged the table, saying: 'No one is paying attention to this issue of PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] among my men and women, no one's paying attention to it,\" Singer says.",

"Less than an hour after targeting Morgan Andrews'll be back in suburban Las Vegas, Morgan Andrews's drive home more physically dangerous than the combat mission Morgan Andrews has just undertaken.",
"Commanders at Creech say that if there is stress, it comes from relentless around-the-clock shift work.",
"Morgan Andrews says that like any good pilot Morgan Andrews has learned to compartmentalize Morgan Andrews's life, using Morgan Andrews's commute to and from work to transition.",
"\"I think about work, I think about what happened,\" Morgan Andrews explains, \"what I could've done better, anything I maybe did wrong that I could've done differently, how could I do it better next time.",
"I just kind of go through it and usually, by the time I get home, I've sorted it all through my mind and stick it away in a file and go on with life.\"",
"For Morgan Andrews, fighting from Nevada more than outweighs the drawbacks of long overseas deployments, allowing Morgan Andrews to enjoy life at home with Morgan Andrews's family and friends.",
"Cornum adds that the drive home is more of a blessing than anyone realized.",
"\"It does give you some amount of time, as opposed to if you lived on base and you could literally walk out of war and into your house,\" he says.",
"\"I don't know if 30 minutes is enough.",
"But it gives you time to decompress.\"",
"But conducting remote warfare, as Cornum explains, brings with it stress that vary from those usually experienced by troops.",
"\"The big difference is that when you are actually deployed, you are with all your battle buddies who are experiencing the thing 24/7.",

"Man-made climate change threatens to stress water resources, challenge crops and livestock, raise sea levels and adversely affect human health, according to a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday.",
"Farmers and workers in central California are suffering through the third year of a worsening drought.",
"The nearly 200-page document on global climate change -- released by White House science adviser and mandated by Congress -- does not include new research, but encompasses several recent studies on the effects of global warming over the last half century.",
"Among a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday's key findings are an \"unequivocal and primarily human-induced\" rise in the Earth's temperature of 2 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 50 years, and a projection of more rapidly changing temperatures over the next several decades.",
"\"It's not just a problem for the future,\" said Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.",

"The continuing temperature rise is likely to spur a series of negative consequences for the Earth's energy supply, water, transportation, ecosystems and health, a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday said.",
"\"[a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday] tells us why remedial action is needed sooner rather than later, as well as showing why remedial action must include both global emissions reductions to reduce the extent of climate change and local adaptation measures to reduce the damage from the changes that are no longer avoidable,\" said John P. Holdren, the White House science adviser.",
"Among a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday's specific predictions: Longer and more intense heat waves; increased heavy downpours likely to cause widespread complications such as flooding and waterborne diseases; reduced summer runoff, creating greater competition for water, especially in the West; rising ocean water temperatures that will threaten coral reefs; an increase in wildfires and insect infestations; and more frequent coastal flooding caused by rising seas.",
"a report released by the Obama administration on Tuesday is the first in almost a decade to break down impacts of climate change on regions and economic sectors of the United States.",

"a White House-backed climate change bill that seeks to reduce the United State's greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050's future remains unclear in the Senate, where leaders are holding off advancing leaders's own version of a White House-backed climate change bill that seeks to reduce the United State's greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050 until a White House-backed climate change bill that seeks to reduce the United State's greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050 clears the lower chamber."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A woman asked Rep. Allen Boyd at a town hall meeting the other day if health care reform proposals would force people to let the government access people's bank accounts.",
"False rumors about health care have been aired at town hall meetings, like this one in Maryland last week.",
"\"That's not true,\" the Florida Democrat responded.",
"\"When someone sends you something on the Internet that sounds crazy, how about just checking it a little bit?\"",
"The CNN Truth Squad, which fact-checks political claims, has debunked the bank-access rumor as false.",
"Yet that claim, and others that have been disproved, keep coming up in the national debate on health care reform, inflaming an already emotional issue.",
"Heated protests have disrupted town hall meetings nationwide, with people shouting at legislators and venting anger at President Obama.",
"While the anger is genuine, some of the anger is based on misunderstandings of the actual proposals, said Kenneth Thorpe, a health policy expert at Emory University.",
"\"People are freaked out because there's a lot of bad information and misinformation being ... put out there by opponents of health care reform,\" Kenneth Thorpe, a health policy expert at Emory University told CNN.",
"Obama and the Democrats say misleading information sows fear and anger, particularly among senior citizens who are worried about how changes in health care could affect Medicare.",
"The White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have set up Web campaigns to refute what The White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi describe as provably false information.",
"\"It is now evident that an ugly campaign is under way not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wrote in a recent commentary.",
"Republican opponents respond that the emotional reaction is due to Democratic efforts to rush through legislation that amounts to a government takeover of the health care system.",
"Republican opponents say the proposals eventually will lead to a system that rations treatment based on an individual's ability to contribute to society.",
"\"We've actually started a national debate about exactly what is at stake here,\" Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Wednesday.",
"Speaking on MSNBC, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said the town hall meetings across the country are reflecting that debate.",
"However, when asked directly about one of the most controversial statements by some Republicans -- that a House bill would create \"death panels\" to decide who gets treatment -- Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele refused to acknowledge that such language was misinformation.",
"The CNN Truth Squad determined the \"death panel\" claim was false, along with others spread by conservative commentators and activist groups who say Democratic proposals would promote euthanizing elderly Americans and mandate free health insurance for illegal immigrants.",
"One of the most disputed provisions, contained in a House health care proposal, would pay doctors for consultations with patients on end-of-life issues, such as living wills.",
"a House health care proposal is similar to one originally written by Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia.",
"Opponents have implied or said outright that consultations would be required -- even though a House health care proposal says they would be voluntary.",
"Some Republicans and Democrats have rejected the \"death panel\" language, but the issue keeps coming up.",
"At a town hall meeting Tuesday night in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, powerful House Democrat Rep. Barney Frank called the notion that health care legislation required killing elderly people \"the single stupidest thing I've heard.\"",
"Obama says the misinformation confuses people over an already complex issue that requires public understanding.",
"\"The notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so that members of Congress can go around pulling the plug on grandma ... when you start making arguments like that, it's simply dishonest,\" Obama recently said.",
"Wendell Potter, a former insurance company communications executive, told CNN that the insurance industry deliberately spreads false information with the goal of disrupting the debate.",
"the insurance industry hires public relations firms that create front groups to try to \"destroy health care reform by using terms like 'government takeover of the health care system' or we are heading down a 'slippery slope toward socialism' or 'we're going to kill your grandpa' because of these health care regulations,\" said Potter, now a senior fellow at the Center for Media and Democracy, which calls itself a nonpartisan watchdog group on public relations spin.",
"Asked to respond to Potter's accusation, the director of strategic communications at America's Health Insurance Plans, Robert Zirkelbach, acknowledged in an e-mail Wednesday that the group opposes some aspects of Democratic health care proposals.",
"\"We have been very clear and up front since day one about our opposition to a government-run insurance plan that would dismantle employer coverage, bankrupt hospitals, and increase the federal deficit,\" Zirkelbach's e-mail said.",
"He denied that employees of his group, which is the national association of health insurers, were \"responsible for disruptive and inappropriate tactics at health care town hall meetings.\"",
"However, some of the language cited by Potter is used by politicians, including Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who told the NBC program \"Meet the Press\" on Sunday that \"the Democrats want a government plan, where the government will take over health care.\"",
"Democratic proposals call for creating a government-funded health insurance plan for people who otherwise lack coverage.",
"That is the so-called public option, which they say would compete with private insurers.",
"Hatch and other Republicans argue the public option would create a subsidized competitor that would drive private insurers out of business, leading to the government taking over the health care system.",
"Though Democrats deny that Republican assertion, that Republican assertion touches on broader fears among conservatives.",
"Many conservatives consider the proposed health care overhaul an irresponsible and dangerous expansion of the government.",
"Many conservatives liken it to socialist-style control over private issues, at a cost of nearly $1 trillion over 10 years.",
"At the same time, Americans facing an economic recession and costly government responses -- such as the $787 billion economic stimulus package and billions more paid to bail out the financial services and auto industries -- are fearful of further change and additional federal debt.",
"Such concerns come up repeatedly at the town hall meetings held by Democrats and Republicans.",
"The deficit recently topped $1 trillion for the first time; Obama has said Obama hopes to cut The deficit in half by the end of Obama's first term.",
"\"When the economy is hurting, people are more inclined, I think, to be skeptical, nervous,\" Frank said.",
"The misinformation, while refuted, has brought changes in the debate.",
"Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh exulted Monday when Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said that Senate negotiators dropped the end-of-life consultation provision from Senate negotiators's proposal because Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa worried it \"could be misinterpreted and implemented incorrectly.\"",
"Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh said on Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh's radio show that no matter what the health care proposals say, the health care proposals will result in less money available for health care.",
"\"It will forever transform the relationship between Americans,\" Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh said.",
"\"We will instantly become rivals.",
"We're going to become competitors vying against each other for precious health care dollars.\"",
"Grassley, who is one of three Republicans negotiating a possible bipartisan health care agreement, has used controversial language himself.",
"Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa told a town hall meeting last week Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa couldn't support a provision that would \"pull the plug on grandma.\"",
"Former Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle called such comments part of the problem.",
"\"It's hyperbolic, it's fear-mongering, it's actually politics at its worst,\" Former Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle said Sunday on NBC's \"Meet the Press.\"",
"\"That's the kind of thing that generates the kind of anger and fear and anxiety that people have today.\""

"(CNN) --",
"Many Google users probably didn't notice this month that Many Google users can now display Many Google users's search tips in the Hawaiian language.",
"Hawaiian is one of more than 125 \"interface languages\" now available on Google.",
"Wedged between Hausa and Hebrew, Hawaiian is one of more than 125 \"interface languages\" now available on Google.",
"The list also includes some humorous twists on English, including \"pirate,\" \"Klingon\" and \"Elmer Fudd.\"",
"But for Hawaiian educators, the addition of Hawaiian is a small step toward legitimizing a language that is considered \"critically endangered\" by the United Nations.",
"\"It's the capstone of a lot of work,\" said Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo.",
"\"We've been doing this work for 18 years, simply trying to make it easier for people who speak Hawaiian to use these kinds of technologies.\"",
"It marks the first native American language available through the \"Google in Your Language\" program.",
"Getting started .",
"It took Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo several years to get the project off the ground through the \"Google in Your Language\" program, which was launched by Google not long after Google was founded in 1998.",
"\"The idea was to enable users worldwide to be able to access Google in the language of users's choice, and if Google wasn't available, to enable users to help make Google so,\" Google spokesman Nate Tyler said.",
"\"Why limit users to a set of dominant languages if users were willing to help make Google users's own?\"",
"The results of the search are still in English, although the user can select a preference for Web pages written in more than 40 other main languages.",
"Google works with linguists like Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo who are interested in translating search instructions into their language.",
"\"Volunteers sign up on Volunteers's own to provide translation,\" Tyler explained.",
"\"Volunteers simply sign Volunteers up, declare a language proficiency, and then start translating or reviewing the products that are available for volunteer translation.",
"\"When the translations are completed, we make the product(s) available in that language.",
"Recent other languages like this include Maori language.\"",
"It was the Maori project, launched last year, that actually helped get Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo's initiative off the ground.",
"Three years ago, Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo started e-mailing and calling Google about a Hawaiian language project, but Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo got no response.",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo put a Hawaiian language project on hold until last year.",
"\"When I heard the Maori version came out, I asked Google about the Maori version,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"\"Apparently the original (language) coordinator had gone and as soon as a new coordinator was brought online, they set up the system.\"",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo began working on the massive translation project sometime late last year.",
"\"It was whenever I could find an hour or two in between teaching or other duties,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"\"It was a combination of personal and work time.\"",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo spent more than 100 hours translating the search terms that appear on the Google page into Hawaiian through the program.",
"\"I did the actual translation from beginning to end, and then I consulted with my colleagues at the university who have worked on these projects in the past,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"\"I wanted to be very consistent -- such as how you say 'Go to this menu and select this' -- or people may become confused.\"",
"What's Hawaiian for 'browsing' the Web'?",
"Some of the Hawaiian words for terms such as \"links\" or \"Web browser\" had already been established when Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo and others worked on translating the Netscape Navigator search engine in 1997.",
"\"Over the years, we usually face the debate of do we want to 'Hawaiianize' an English word, or take an old Hawaiian word and give an old Hawaiian word a new meaning,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo explained some of the challenges in translating terms, such as \"browsing\" or \"surfing,\" into Hawaiian.",
"\"People use the term 'surf the Internet' and People'll say 'he'e nalu' which is literally surfing the ocean out on a board,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo explained.",
"\"But we use 'kele,' which is what you do when you're steering a canoe.",
"So we chose that as you're navigating the net.\"",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo finished the translation project in April, but there were issues with the code for the search engine that would not activate the Hawaiian language interface.",
"the Hawaiian language interface actually launched on Apple's Safari browser first because Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo had worked with Apple to ensure that the language's diacritical marks and characters were available on Apple's computers.",
"\"Now, it comes with every computer that they ship,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"See and hear phrases in Hawaiian » .",
"Some Apple computer users who had selected Hawaiian as their primary language for other programs noticed a couple of weeks ago that Google's search terms started appearing in Hawaiian, too.",
"\"People started calling me and asking, 'Did you hack into my computer?",
"My Google is in Hawaiian,'\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"\"And that was the point I said, 'OK, word is getting out about this' and I put out a news release.",
"I was afraid someone was going to start freaking out, 'Why is my computer in Hawaiian?'\"",
"Important milestone for Hawaii's culture .",
"The initiative is an important milestone for Hawaiian linguists and cultural educators who have pushed to have their native language taught in schools alongside English.",
"It wasn't until the 1980s that the law banning the Hawaiian language from being taught in schools was overturned.",
"the law banning the Hawaiian language from being taught in schools was established in the late 19th century as a prerequisite to Hawaii becoming a U.S. territory.",
"Today, more and more Hawaiians are studying and majoring in Hawaiian language programs.",
"There are Hawaiian language immersion programs in which English is taught as a second language.",
"Mona Wood, a Hawaiian speaker and owner of a public relations firm in Honolulu, said there has been a kind of Hawaiian language \"renaissance\" in the state since the late 1970s.",
"\"Even tourism has been learning and growing and realizing that our 'host culture' must be added to the visitor experience,\" Wood said.",
"\"There are many more programs available at hotels and shopping malls that weren't there 20 years ago.\"",
"Wood said that when she studied Hawaiian in college, it was under the foreign languages department.",
"\"It has been so wonderful to see so many of our youth embrace the native culture and see the programs expand to the point where there is an entire Hawaiian Studies Department,\" she said.",
"\"One can now get a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) and M.A. (Master of Arts) in Hawaiian language.\"",
"Wood -- who owns Ikaika Communications, which represents local officials, local and national companies and celebrities including Duane \"Dog the Bounty Hunter\" Chapman -- said that when she was growing up, \"Our culture was dying in every way.\"",
"\"Learning my roots came through my own curiosity -- choosing to take hula lessons when my mom wanted me to take piano,\" she said.",
"\"Then I went to the Hawaiian High School, Kamehameha, and continued with some Hawaiian classes and joined a club at UH (University of Hawaii).",
"\"Seeing Hawaiian knowledge becoming an asset over the years has been truly satisfying,\" she said.",
"Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo hopes the Google initiative is another step toward giving Hawaiian \"the same status as English and other major European and Asian languages\" -- particularly in the fast-moving sector of technology.",
"\"To Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo personally it's very important that we are giving the opportunity to have as many things in Hawaiian as in English,\" Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo said.",
"\"So if we had not begun to address technology in the early 1990s, we would be telling people that this is a place where Hawaiian doesn't belong.",
"You have to revert to English.",
"\"We didn't want to send that kind of message so we've worked to make the language more accessible.\""

"\"There was nothing that would cause you to question it.",

"But tucked away beyond the tangle of bushes, high grass and trees was a blue tarp that concealed the only world Jaycee Dugard had known since Dugard's abduction.",
"Fred Kollar, undersheriff of El Dorado County said the property had \"a hidden backyard within a backyard.\"",
"It included several sheds no taller than 6 feet, two tents and several outbuildings, \"where Jaycee Dugard and the girls spent most of Jaycee and the girls's lives.\"",
"It also held a vehicle that matched the description of the car used in Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping, Fred Kollar, undersheriff of El Dorado County said.",
"a hidden backyard within a backyard was inside the first and was \"screened from view.\"",
"One of the sheds was soundproof, Fred Kollar, undersheriff of El Dorado County said.",
"In it were sheds and tarps, a makeshift bathroom and shower, along with electricity supplied by extension cords.",
"Fred Kollar, undersheriff of El Dorado County compared the primitive conditions to camping.",
"Jaycee Dugard lived for several years there by Jaycee Dugard.",

"\"But living in a backyard for the last 18 years does take its toll.\"",

"UNITED NATIONS (CNN) --",
"UNITED NATIONS is calling on NATO to do more to stop the Afghan opium trade after a new survey showed how the drug dominates Afghanistan's economy.",
"Afghan villagers tend to opium poppies in Taliban-controlled Helmand province in April 2007.",
"The report from the U.N.'s Office on Drugs and Crime shows the export value of this year's poppy harvest stood at around $4 billion, a 29 per cent increase over 2006.",
"Despite Afghan security forces' efforts to curb the Afghan opium trade, 660 tons of heroin and morphine were trafficked out of the country in 2007, The report from the U.N.'s Office on Drugs and Crime said.",
"Opium is derived from poppies, and the data on cultivation was collected by examining satellite images and by assessments on the ground.",
"The report from the U.N.'s Office on Drugs and Crime said opium has accounted for more than half of Afghanistan's gross domestic product in 2007.",
"InvestorWords.com defines GDP as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time, usually a calendar year.",
"According to the U.N. survey, about a quarter of the earnings from opium go to farmers.",
"The rest goes to district officials who collect taxes on the crop, to drug traffickers and to the insurgents and warlords who control the Afghan opium trade.",
"Antonio Maria Costa, executive director of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, urged NATO to take a more active role in countering the spread of the drug trade, which has increased dramatically since the American-led invasion to remove the hard-line Islamist government of the Taliban in October 2001.",
"\"Since drugs are funding the insurgency, NATO has a self-interest in supporting Afghan forces in destroying drug labs, markets and convoys,\" Costa said in a written statement to coincide with the release of the survey.",
"\"Destroy the Afghan opium trade and you cut off the Taliban's main funding source.\"",
"James Appathurai, a NATO spokesman, said coalition forces were equally concerned by the rapid growth in the Afghan opium trade.",
"\"NATO share the U.N.'s concerns,\" Appathurai told CNN.",
"\"Drugs not only poison people, but they poison economies and governments, and it is in everyone's interest to stop this proliferation.\"",
"Appathurai said NATO forces were providing assistance to Afghan police through training and transport but Appathurai said there were no plans to deploy coalition troops to intervene directly.",
"\"The issue of whether we can do more is certainly a live discussion for NATO, but at the moment this is a matter for the Afghan government,\" Appathurai said.",
"Farming of opium poppies has been almost eradicated in the north and west of the country, Appathurai said.",
"However, Appathurai said, in the lawless southern provinces and especially in the Taliban stronghold of Helmand, poppy production was going on largely unchecked.",
"According to the report, U.N. observers have noticed a proliferation of heroin labs in neighboring countries and along trafficking routes.",
"Costa said heroin labs are dependent on precursor chemicals, like acetic anhydride, that must be smuggled into the region.",
"Costa called for tighter controls in chemical-producing countries and stronger intelligence-sharing between Afghanistan and Afghanistan's neighbors.",
"\"Drug trafficking is a transnational threat, and therefore national initiatives have their limitations,\" Appathurai said.",
"Appathurai said the most effective way to curb the drug trade was tackling the insurgency head-on.",
"Appathurai also said it was important to provide alternative work for poor Afghan farmers to encourage poor Afghan farmers to give up opium production.",
"\"You cannot have eradication in isolation.",
"If we don't give poor Afghan farmers the support to produce alternative crops, then by wiping out poor Afghan farmers's opium fields, you are only creating enemies for the future,\" Appathurai said.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Brand new runways are opening at three major airports Thursday, giving the aviation community something to cheer about in a year of dismal economic and travel news.",
"Washington Dulles International Airport's new runway opens Thursday ahead of the busy holiday travel season.",
"Washington Dulles International Airport will get a fourth runway, Washington Dulles International Airport's first runway addition since Washington Dulles International Airport opened in 1962.",
"Chicago's O'Hare International Airport's new runway is part of a massive, multi-billion dollar modernization program.",
"Previously, six of the airport's seven runways intersected.",
"When the entire project is completed in 2014, the airport will have eight runways in parallel configurations considered safer and more efficient.",
"Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's new runway is being especially welcomed because of the region's notoriously wet climate.",
"Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's new runway will allow planes to take off and land two abreast during inclement weather.",
"The current runways are too close to allow simultaneous operations in foul weather.",
"Airport officials claim Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's new runway will cut delays in half.",
"Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said travelers will benefit from coast to coast.",
"See runways at the three airports » .",
"\"It is going to make a difference,\" Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said.",
"\"It is going to allow us to conduct more operations, meaning more takeoffs and landings per hour at the three airports and will help move passengers efficiently through.",
"\"That, we hope, will give travelers a good experience this holiday season,\" she said.",
"President Bush, this week, touted the arrival of the three new runways, noting that 14 new runways will have opened during his administration.",
"However, aviation experts warn airport infrastructure still lags behind demand, and that real estate realities in the New York area, perceived to be the epicenter of aviation delays, mean that new runways are least likely to be built where new runways are most needed.",
"Watch what Web sites offer best travel deals » .",
"\"It would really be nice if we had even one new runway\" at each of the nation's most congested airports, namely LaGuardia, Newark and JFK,\" aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins said.",
"\"It would do an enormous amount to relieve congestion throughout the nation.\"",
"iReport.com: What are your holiday travel plans?",
"aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins said new runways in New York are pipe dreams because of land constraints and local opposition.",
"\"Local opposition wins.",
"There's no opposition that is as tough to beat down as local opposition,\" aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins said.",
"Chicago O'Hare's International Airport, which has purchased more than 500 single-family homes to make room for expansion, remains in court battles with several property owners.",
"Aviation experts argue the experience at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia demonstrate that new runways are invaluable to airlines and travelers.",
"A new runway that opened there in 2006 has increased operations by 25 to 30 flights an hour, shaved minutes off average flight delays and saved airlines $10 million a week in fuel costs, airport officials said.",
"Air traffic controllers are generally happy with the added concrete Air traffic controllers will lord over.",
"\"There's no greater supporter of runways than controllers,\" said Doug Church, spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA).",
"\"It's reason to shout and celebrate from the rooftops.\"",
"However, the new Dulles airport runway may not be of much benefit at the start.",
"Controller Chris Sutherland, the NATCA representative for the Potomac Consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), explained that because only one taxiway has been completed, planes that land heading north must roll to a stop, turn around and taxi more than a mile and a half to the taxiway, costing the airlines both time and money.",
"\"Bottom line, the users are going to fight us tooth and nail if we try to land them on that runway out there,\" Sutherland said.",
"The airport also does not have the technology necessary to use all three parallel runways in inclement weather, Sutherland said.",
"\"Washington-Dulles International Airport're actually creating delays with additional new concrete and that's kind of going against why Washington-Dulles International Airport built it in the first place,\" Sutherland said.",
"An airport official and Department of Transportation officials said Washington-Dulles International Airport must open the new Dulles airport runway before Washington-Dulles International Airport can close the center runway and complete work on the remaining taxiways.",
"Work is scheduled for the spring.",
"aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins jokingly said new runways inevitably come on line precisely when they are not needed, but aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins said airline delays are here to stay.",
"\"There's every reason to believe that until we're all comfortably dead, we will all enjoy delays in air traffic,\" aviation consultant Darryl Jenkins said."

"Iris Botros and Iris Botros's husband, Luis Andros, are accused of trying to smuggle twins out of Egypt.",
"Last week, The women were led into a Cairo courtroom in handcuffs, along with six other people.",
"The women stood in a big black cage in the courtroom, looking apprehensive amid the hubbub.",
"To The women's defenders, all The women were trying to do was provide orphans with a better chance in life.",
"To the prosecution, The women were involved in forging documents to try to adopt children illegally and smuggle children out of Egypt.",
"Along with The women, the accused include their husbands, two doctors, a nun who ran an orphanage, and an Egyptian banker.",
"Watch The women get bundled into court » .",
"A year ago, Hagelof, a U.S. citizen who lives in Egypt with Suzanne Hagelof's husband, adopted a child from an orphanage run by the Coptic Christian Church, a religious minority in Egypt.",
"Suzanne Hagelof says no money changed hands.",
"Several months later, Luis Andros, a U.S. citizen who is originally from Greece, and his wife, Iris Botros, left Luis Andros, a U.S. citizen who is originally from Greece, and his wife, Iris Botros's restaurant business in North Carolina for Egypt.",

"She paid the orphanage about $4,600 for the twins -- partly for clothes and partly as a donation.",
"The women wanted to take the children to the United States -- in Hagelof's case for a visit, but in Iris Botros's case to begin a new life in Wake Forest, North Carolina.",
"And that's where the trouble began.",
"To get a visa for the children, The women went to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.",
"According to The women's attorneys, the documents The women presented included birth certificates and certificates signed by doctors stating The women were the natural mothers.",
"According to defense attorneys, The women knew The women were using forged documents.",
"Embassy officials became suspicious of forged documents -- partly because The women seemed too old to be the mothers.",
"Both Hagelof and Botros are in their mid- to late forties.",
"the U.S. Embassy in Cairo contacted Egyptian authorities, and both Hagelof and Botros -- along with their husbands -- were arrested soon afterward, as was a nun from a Coptic orphanage and a banker who allegedly helped Iris Botros make contact with the nun.",
"Also arrested were two doctors who had written the certificates for the three infants, all of whom are now at an orphanage not affiliated with the church.",
"Neither the U.S. Embassy nor the U.S. State Department will comment on the case, citing the ongoing trial.",
"Iris Botros's husband, Andros, blames the embassy for their plight.",

"A few feet away, Suzanne Hagelof called out, \"The women want to tell The women's story,\" while Suzanne Hagelof's husband, Medhat, looked on, quiet and dejected.",
"As reporters tried to talk to the defendants, a guard intervened, shouting \"Sit down, sit down.\"",
"Adoption has long been illegal under Egyptian law as well as being forbidden under sharia, Muslim religious law.",
"Fostering is legal but uncommon.",
"Fostering has become a high-profile issue since Suzanne Mubarak, wife of the president, embarked on a campaign to stamp out human trafficking.",
"She recently told CNN that human trafficking \"exists in all societies.\"",
"\"I came to realize what an insidious crime this was and how it was just really built on profit.",
"On not only low morals, on no morals at all,\" she said.",
"And that's how the prosecution seems to be framing this case, using a law passed last year that provides for tough penalties for human trafficking.",
"Khalil Adil El Hamani, the attorney representing Hagelof, says Egyptian authorities want to prove that all the defendants are from one gang and are trafficking children, so as to make this case seem to be a giant conspiracy.",
"The women insist The women had no idea what The women were doing was illegal and have no link with human trafficking.",
"The attorney representing Iris Botros and Iris Botros's husband says their only crime was to dream of being parents.",
"\"They are now are in jail because of this dream,\" The attorney representing Botros and her husband told CNN after the first hearing in this case a week ago.",
"\"They never thought that they will be in jail.",
"They thought that they are going to adopt only.",

"The next stage of the trial takes place May 16, and proceedings could last six to eight months.",
