"Washington (CNN) --",
"Jarrett does not like to talk about Jarrett.",
"I know this because we've sat down on numerous occasions for interviews, going back to the early days of Obama's presidential campaign.",
"But this one was perhaps the most challenging because the focus was on Jarrett.",
"Jarrett is fiercely loyal to Obama, as one of Obama's closest friends.",
"But Jarrett also advises Obama as president, with the title of Senior Adviser and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Liaison.",
"The ultimate insider does not spill the beans.",
"But doing a series on the power players inside the White House would not be complete without looking at Jarrett's role.",
"Jarrett has called Jarrett's relationship with the president a \"mind meld.\"",
"\"We're good friends who have known each other for a long time,\" Jarrett says.",
"\"Eighteen years, you get a pretty good sense of Obama.\"",
"Jarrett's first sense of Obama came in 1991 when Obama was a young law professor in Chicago, Illinois.",
"Jarrett was interviewing Obama's fiancée, the future first lady, Michelle Robinson, for a job in Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's office.",
"The protective partner, Obama, was making sure Jarrett was on the up and up.",
"Jarrett first explained the scene when I interviewed Jarrett in May 2008.",
"\"They sat next to each other and when Jarrett was speaking Obama would just look at Jarrett with this adoring Jarrett said with a laugh, \"but Obama was really tough on Jarrett in the nicest possible way.\"",
"The three became fast friends.",
"Now Obama says Obama runs every important decision by Jarrett, trusts Jarrett completely and considers Jarrett's family.",
"When I bring this to Jarrett's attention Jarrett accepts Jarrett's role humbly.",
"\"Well, I hope Obama would trust me the way any close friend does.",
"Obama knows I have Obama's best interest at heart and that I understand, because I'm part of the administration, the myriad of challenges Obama faces,\" Jarrett says.",
"\"So I hope Obama views me a sounding board, someone who's going to be honest, direct and candid with Obama at all times.\"",
"Jarrett laughs when I suggest perhaps Jarrett is Obama's consigliere.",
"\"You can tell I'm uncomfortable with this,\" Jarrett says when I try to get Jarrett to focus more on Jarrett's role.",
"Jarrett does not like to be singled out from the rest of the White House team.",
"Instead Jarrett paints a picture of what it would be like if I were in an Oval Office meeting with Obama.",
"\"When everyone's done talking, if there've been a couple of people who've been quiet, Obama'll say, 'Well, Jarrett, what do you think of this issue?' \"",
"Jarrett says.",
"Jarrett describes Obama's style in running the meetings as \"accommodating.\"",
"\"Obama reads people very well.",
"Obama's extraordinarily perceptive.",
"Obama can tell from the body language if someone is uncomfortable with something,\" Jarrett says.",
"But Jarrett can also read Obama's body language when Obama's heard enough talk.",
"\"Obama's not moody, but you can tell when Obama's ready for a conversation to end,\" Jarrett says.",
"\"Obama enjoys making sure there is robust debate, but when Obama's finished with debate Obama's finished.",
"Obama's ready to move on.",
"So I can detect when enough is enough, let's bring in the next issue.\"",
"Jarrett says newcomers to the administration have pulled Jarrett aside to get Jarrett take on how things were going.",
"\"Particularly early on, people who didn't know Obama as well as I did would come to Jarrett after a meeting and say 'What did Obama really mean?",
"I know Obama said this, but what is Obama really thinking?' and I took such delight in being able to say Obama meant exactly what Obama said.",
"That's who Obama is.\"",
"It's the intangibles that Jarrett sometimes brings to the table.",
"\"People are always looking for the hidden intent, the body language, and Obama is about as straight a shooter as you're going to ever come across.",
"So I think part of what I do is go around and give people some comfort to really trust what Obama said.",
"Obama meant exactly what Obama said.",
"You can take Obama at face value.\"",
"Jarrett says Obama does not make deals after Obama's meetings are done.",
"People don't trail Obama through the back door trying to change Obama's mind.",
"\"That's just not the way Obama operates,\" Jarrett says.",
"\"Obama likes to hear from everybody at the same time.",
"Then Obama makes a decision.\"",
"Jarrett's job includes acting as a liaison to the business community and conducting outreach to African-American groups.",
"But it's Jarrett's role as confidante to the president that makes Jarrett the ultimate insider.",
"Jarrett sits in on Obama's daily briefings in the morning that deal with national security and the economy.",
"Jarrett also attends policy meetings regarding Obama's agenda on health care, energy and education.",
"Jarrett facilitates and hosts small groups of CEOs to have lunch with Obama.",
"And Jarrett heads the Office of Public Engagement as Obama's contact with outside groups.",
"Jarrett says Jarrett also spends \"a good deal of time\" with Obama both personally and professionally.",
"Part of Jarrett's portfolio is working closely with the first lady's team, \"making sure there's seamless interaction between the East and West Wings.\"",
"Jarrett occupies the office previously used by Karl Rove and former first lady Hillary Clinton.",
"Jarrett is often the only woman in the room in briefings with Obama.",
"But Jarrett dismisses talk of tension with \"the boys,\" as some of the male power players are referred to in the White House.",
"\"We really do pull together as a team,\" Jarrett says.",
"While Jarrett's ability to freelance as Obama's senior adviser has rankled some, Jarrett says being inside the circle of power is a \"warm\" and \"inclusive\" environment.",
"As for Obama's all-male pickup basketball games, Jarrett says that's not where the real power resides.",
"\"I think what's really important is who does Obama surround Obama with and give substantial responsibilities to.\"",
"Jarrett's got plenty of responsibility.",
"Jarrett's challenge is separating Jarrett's friendship with Obama from Jarrett's job.",
"Often Jarrett takes Jarrett's cues from where Jarrett stands.",
"\"If we're in the Oval Office, I call Obama \"Mr. President.\"",
"It's very formal.",
"I think it's appropriate.",
"It's not just deferential to Obama but to the office,\" Jarrett says.",
"\"I really try to compartmentalize our friendship and what my role is outside the office, and my role as senior adviser.\"",
"When I ask Jarrett if that's a difficult thing to do, requiring Jarrett to flip a switch, Jarrett says \"no.\"",
"Jarrett says when Jarrett's in the Oval Office, they're all about business, outside, \"everything but business.\"",
"\"The one thing I don't do is try to mix the two.",
"I don't try to be Obama's friend when we're having a business conversation and I try not to burden Obama with office issues when trying to have downtime,\" Jarrett says.",
"When they're hanging out as friends, it's often indulging in their favorite pastime.",
"\"We like to eat,\" Jarrett says with a hearty laugh.",
"\"Obama's a healthy eater.",
"I'm not.",
"We have a lot of wonderful conversations around the dinner table -- something we've always enjoyed.\"",
"But now the dinner table is in the office.",
"The movies they enjoy watching, they now take in at the the office movie theater.",
"But despite that, Jarrett insists Jarrett's longtime friend is the same.",
"Jarrett says what Jarrett finds \"so appealing\" is Obama's still \"grounded.\"",
"\"Obama has a very good sense of self, Obama's steady.",
"Obama's temperament is very predictable,\" Jarrett says.",
"A year after Obama captured the office, Jarrett is still in awe.",
"\"Not a day goes by Jarrett don't pinch Jarrett and treasure this experience and opportunity to serve this president who also happens to be my friend.\""

"\"The young girl was obviously very traumatized to repeat this out loud, and I don't think The young girl had repeated it to anyone.\"",
"The young girl lied to Borkgren about The young girl's age when they first spoke.",
"\"The young girl said The young girl was 15 when The young girl was raped,\" Borkgren says.",
"\"I figured The young girl probably wanted to say The young girl was 15 because it's more acceptable than to say, 'I was 9 when they raped me.' \"",
"The United Nations estimates 200,000 women and girls have been raped in Congo over the last 12 years, when war broke out with Rwanda and Uganda backing Congolese rebels seeking to oust then-Congo President Laurent Kabila.",
"Rape became a weapon of war, aid groups say.",
"\"It is one of the worst places in the world to be a woman or girl,\" says Anneke Van Woudenberg, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch who has spent the last 10 years focusing on Congo.",
"\"These are often soldiers and combatants deliberately targeting women and raping women as a strategy of war, either to punish a community, to terrorize a community or to humiliate women.\"",
"Most times, the women are raped by at least two perpetrators.",
"\"Sometimes, that is done in front of the family, in front of the children,\" Van Woudenberg says.",
"Van Woudenberg sighs, \"What causes men to rape -- I wish I had an answer to that.\"",

"Human rights groups are eager to see if Clinton pressures Joseph Kabila, president of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the son of Laurent Kabila, to do more to pursue charges against top army commanders accused of rape.",
"\"Soldiers have committed gang rapes, rapes leading to injury and death, and abductions of girls and women,\" a report released last month by Human Rights Watch says.",

"There wasn't much I could do,\" The young girl told Van Woudenberg.",
"\"soldiers took me into the bush.",
"I stayed for five months with soldiers, and when I came back, I was five months pregnant.\"",
"Van Woudenberg adds, \"Gosh, the brutality against the women and girls is unimaginable.\"",
"Congo has taken some measures to try to curb the sexual violence.",
"In 2006, Congo's parliament passed a law criminalizing rape, with penalties ranging from five to 20 years.",
"Penalties are doubled under certain circumstances, including gang-rape and if the perpetrator is a public official.",
"Kabila's wife, Olive Lemba Kabila, has launched a public campaign speaking out against rapes of the nation's women and girls.",
"The army has also started a zero-tolerance campaign in which commanders have emphasized to troops that troops must respect human rights and protect civilians from harm, according to the U.N.",
"In May, the United Nations handed over the names of five top military officers accused of rape.",
"Two of five top military officers accused of rape are now detained in the capital of Kinshasa and the three others must report to authorities under close observation.",
"\"It's expected that a trial could happen soon,\" said the U.N. spokesman Yves Sorokobi.",
"\"It certainly is a big development. ...",
"It's important.",
"It's significant.\"",
"Still more must be done, aid groups say, starting with the establishment of a special court made up of Congolese and international judges and prosecutors to investigate rape allegations.",
"Borkgren, the photographer from Eugene, Oregon, says she went to the Congo after having a dream in which two women yelled at her to \"come over here.\"",
"She won the grant and traveled there for four weeks, beginning in November of last year.",
"She hitchhiked her way around the country, something she now admits was \"a little bit stupid.\"",
"She says she once came face-to-face with soldiers when she was shopping at a market by herself.",
"One of the men said he wanted to \"take me up to his camp.\"",
"She still can't shake the looks of the local women who were there.",
"\"That was interesting,\" she says.",
"\"When the soldiers were harassing me, the women looked ashamed of the soldiers.",
"And when the women saw me tell the women, 'No, go away,' the women looked at me quite surprised.\"",

"Borkgren first spoke with The young girl's father, who was initially reluctant to introduce her to The young girl's daughter.",
"He explained that the family had gone to authorities, only to be ignored.",

"TOKYO, Japan (CNN) --",
"Had this custody drama played out in the United States, Christopher Savoie might be considered a hero -- snatching Christopher Savoie's two little children back from an ex-wife who defied the law and ran off with children.",
"A Tennessee court awarded Christopher Savoie custody of his son, Isaac, and daughter, Rebecca.",
"But this story unfolds 7,000 miles away in the Japanese city of Fukuoka, where the U.S. legal system holds no sway.",
"And here, Christopher Savoie sits in jail, charged with the abduction of minors.",
"And Christopher Savoie's Japanese ex-wife -- a fugitive in the United States for taking Christopher Savoie's children from Tennessee -- is considered the victim.",
"\"Japan is an important partner and friend of the U.S., but on this issue, our points of view differ,\" the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo said Tuesday.",
"\"Our two nations approach divorce and child-rearing differently.",
"Parental child abduction is not considered a crime in Japan.\"",
"this story begins in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tennessee, with the January divorce of Christopher Savoie from his first wife, Noriko, a Japanese native.",
"Ex-wife had agreed to live in Franklin to be close to children, taking children to Japan for summer vacations.",
"Savoie in March requested a restraining order to prevent his ex-wife from taking children to Japan, saying Ex-wife had threatened to do so, according to court documents obtained by CNN affiliate WTVF and posted on the station's Web site.",
"A temporary order was issued, but then lifted following a hearing.",
"\"If Ex-wife fails to return to Tennessee [after summer vacation] with children following Ex-wife's visitation period, Ex-wife could lose Ex-wife's alimony, child support and education fund, which is added assurance to Father that Ex-wife is going to return with children,\" Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III noted in Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III's order on the matter.",
"After that ruling, Christopher Savoie tried to have Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III recuse Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III, as Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III was a mediator in the case prior to becoming a judge, said Marlene Eskind Moses, Ex-wife's attorney.",
"But that request was denied, as Christopher Savoie earlier said Christopher Savoie had no concerns about Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III hearing the matter.",
"Following the summer trip, Ex-wife did return to the United States, and Christopher Savoie then took children on a vacation, returning children to Ex-wife's ex-wife, Bruno's attorney, Paul Bruno, told CNN.",
"Watch latest report on Christopher Savoie's situation » .",
"But days later, on the first day of classes for 8-year-old Isaac and 6-year-old Rebecca, the school called Christopher Savoie to say Christopher Savoie's children hadn't arrived, Bruno said.",
"Police checked Ex-wife's home and did not find children.",
"Concerned, Christopher Savoie called Ex-wife's ex-wife's father in Japan, who told Christopher Savoie not to worry.",
"\"I said, 'What do you mean -- don't worry?",
"children weren't at school.'",
"'Oh, don't worry, children are here,' \" Christopher Savoie recounted the conversation to CNN affiliate WTVF earlier this month.",
"\"I said, 'children are what, children are what, children are in Japan?' \"",
"The very thing that Christopher Savoie had predicted in court papers had happened -- Ex-wife's wife had taken their children to Japan and showed no signs of returning, Bruno said.",
"After Ex-wife took children to Japan, Christopher Savoie filed for and received full custody of children, Bruno said.",
"And Franklin police issued an arrest warrant for Christopher Savoie's ex-wife, the television station reported.",
"But there was a major hitch: Japan is not a party to the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction.",
"The international agreement standardizes laws, but only among participating countries.",
"So while Japanese civil law stresses that courts resolve custody issues based on the best interest of the children without regard to either parent's nationality, foreign parents have had little success in regaining custody.",
"Japanese family law follows a tradition of sole custody divorces.",
"When a couple splits, one parent typically makes a complete and lifelong break from the children.",
"In court documents filed in May, Ex-wife denied that Ex-wife was failing to abide by the terms of the couple's court-approved parenting plan or ignoring court-appointed parent coordinators.",
"Ex-wife added Ex-wife was \"concerned about the stability of Father, Christopher Savoie's extreme antagonism towards Mother and the effect of this on children.\"",
"Ex-wife could not be reached by CNN for comment.",
"Bruno said Bruno helped Christopher Savoie pursue legal remedies to recover children, working with police, the FBI and the State Department.",
"\"We tried to do what we could to get children back,\" Bruno said.",
"\"There was not a whole lot we can do.\"",
"\"Our court system failed him,\" said Diane Marshall, a court-appointed parent coordinator who helped Christopher Savoie make decisions about children.",
"\"It's just a mess.\"",
"But Moses, Ex-wife's attorney, told CNN that the children's father had other legal options.",
"The International Association for Parent-Child Reunion, formed in Japan this year, claims to know of more than 100 cases of children abducted by non-custodial Japanese parents.",
"And the State Department says the State Department is not aware of a single case in which a child taken from the United States to Japan has been ordered returned by Japanese courts -- even when the left-behind parent has a U.S. custody decree.",
"Facing such statistics and the possibility of never seeing children again, Christopher Savoie took matters into Christopher Savoie's own hands.",
"Christopher Savoie flew to Fukuoka.",
"And as Ex-wife's ex-wife walked children to school Monday morning, Christopher Savoie drove alongside children.",
"Christopher Savoie grabbed children, forced children into Christopher Savoie's car, and drove off, said police in Fukuoka.",
"Watch CNN panel discuss Christopher Savoie's legal options » .",
"Christopher Savoie headed for the U.S. consulate in that city to try to obtain passports for Isaac and Rebecca.",
"But Japanese police, alerted by Ex-wife's ex-wife, were waiting.",
"Consulate spokeswoman Tracy Taylor said Consulate spokeswoman Tracy Taylor heard a scuffle outside the doors of the U.S. consulate in that city.",
"Consulate spokeswoman Tracy Taylor ran up and saw a little girl and a man, whom police were trying to talk to.",
"Eventually, police took Christopher Savoie away, charging Christopher Savoie with the abduction of minors -- a charge that carries a jail sentence of up to five years.",
"Bruno said if the situation were reversed and a Japanese parent had abducted a Japanese child and fled to America, U.S. courts would \"correct that problem, because it's a crime.\"",
"Bruno said Bruno has \"concerns about Japan ... providing a place for people to abduct children and go to.",
"The parent left behind does not have recourse.\"",
"Bruno added, \"the president and his administration should do something to correct this.\"",
"the U.S. consulate in that city met with Christopher Savoie on Monday and Tuesday, Consulate spokeswoman Tracy Taylor said.",
"the U.S. consulate in that city has provided him with a list of local lawyers and said the U.S. consulate in that city will continue to assist.",
"Meanwhile, the international diplomacy continues.",
"During the first official talks between the United States and Japan's new government, the issue of parental abductions was raised.",
"But it is anybody's guess what happens next to Savoie, who sits in a jail cell.",
"CNN's Kyung Lah in Tokyo, Japan, and Aaron Cooper, Saeed Ahmed and Carolina Sanchez in Atlanta, Georgia, contributed to this report."

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"The Briton accused of hacking into U.S. government computers on Friday lost Gary McKinnon's court appeal to have Gary McKinnon's case heard in Britain, McKinnon's legal team said.",
"Gary McKinnon is accused of carrying out the biggest ever U.S. military hacking operation.",
"The decision means Gary McKinnon faces extradition to the United States, where Gary McKinnon is wanted for allegedly hacking into computers at the Pentagon and NASA.",
"Gary McKinnon's mother, Janis Sharp, promised to appeal.",
"McKinnon, who has admitted breaking the law and intentionally gaining unauthorized access to computer systems, wanted to be tried in Britain rather than the United States.",
"Gary McKinnon planned to ask judges at the High Court in LONDON to review a recent decision by the director of public prosecutions not to pursue legal action in Britain, a spokeswoman at the prosecutor's office told CNN July.",
"The prosecutor's decision effectively cleared the way for Gary McKinnon's extradition.",
"the United States says Gary McKinnon carried out the biggest military computer hacking of all time, accessing 97 computers from Gary McKinnon's home in LONDON for a year starting in March 2001 and costing the United States about $1 million.",
"Gary McKinnon, currently free on bail in England, has said Gary McKinnon was simply doing research to find out whether the United States was covering up the existence of UFOs.",
"Prosecutors in the United States and Britain disagree.",
"\"These were not random experiments in computer hacking, but a deliberate effort to breach U.S. defense systems at a critical time which caused well-documented damage,\" Alison Saunders of the Crown Prosecution Service said in February.",
"\"They may have been conducted from Gary McKinnon's home computer -- and in that sense there is a UK link -- but the target and the damage were trans-Atlantic.\"",
"U.S. federal prosecutors accuse Gary McKinnon of breaking into military, NASA and civilian networks and accessing computers at the Pentagon; Fort Benning, Georgia; Fort Meade, Maryland; the Earle Naval Weapons Station in Colts Neck, New Jersey; and the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, among others.",
"In one case, Gary McKinnon allegedly crashed computers belonging to the Military District of Washington.",
"Gary McKinnon is believed to have acted alone, with no known connection to any terrorist organization, said Paul McNulty, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.",
"A U.S. federal grand jury indicted Gary McKinnon on seven counts of computer fraud and related activity.",
"If convicted, he would face a maximum of 10 years in prison on each count and a $250,000 fine.",
"Gary McKinnon's lawyer, Karen Todner, complained that the United States has never provided evidence to prosecutors or Gary McKinnon's legal team to support prosecutors or McKinnon's legal team's extradition request -- and in fact, under Britain's Extradition Act of 2003, U.S. prosecutors are not required to.",
"Gary McKinnon has previously said it was easy for Gary McKinnon to access the secret files.",
"\"I did occasionally leave messages in system administrators' machines saying, 'This is ridiculous,'\" Gary McKinnon has said.",
"\"(I left) some political diatribes as well, but also a pointer to say, you know, this is ridiculous.\"",
"Gary McKinnon was on the brink of extradition in August 2008, when the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, refused to reconsider the decision to send Gary McKinnon to the United States, effectively clearing the way for Gary McKinnon's transfer.",
"Shortly after the decision to send him to the United States, however, Gary McKinnon was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and Gary McKinnon claims that diagnosis changed the case for extradition.",
"It was on that basis that Gary McKinnon made Gary McKinnon's appeals in Britain.",
"Asperger syndrome is a form of autism that affects a person's social communication and interaction, according to Britain's National Autistic Society.",
"Those affected often are of above-average intelligence and have fewer problems speaking than do those with autism.",
"They sometimes have difficulty knowing when to start or end a conversation and can be very literal in what they say, with difficulty understanding jokes, metaphors and sarcasm."

"(CNN) --",
"While investigators trudge through pig farms and remote villages in Mexico, searching for clues about the new swine flu, answers about the virus' origin may finally appear on a computer, based on genetic codes.",
"A researcher investigates swine flu at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.",
"At the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University, researchers are using public databases to trace the origins of the 2009 H1N1 virus.",
"researchers've found that the closest relatives to the 2009 H1N1 virus are viruses that were isolated from pigs in the United States in the past few years.",
"researchers's analysis, recently published in Eurosurveillance, suggests that the 2009 H1N1 virus has at least two swine ancestors, one of them related to a virus isolated in North America in 1998.",
"Still, the relatives are distant, and it's premature to conclude that the 2009 H1N1 virus came from the United States based on this analysis, said Raul Rabadan, study co-author and assistant professor at Columbia.",
"Influenza is like a small jigsaw puzzle with eight pieces, each with its own function, Raul Rabadan, study co-author and assistant professor at Columbia said.",
"a small jigsaw puzzle with eight pieces changes all the time, which is why exposure does not lead to total immunity and vaccines need to be updated yearly.",
"When two viruses infect the same cell, two viruses can create yet other viruses with pieces of each of the original strains.",
"This process is called reassortment.",
"the 2009 H1N1 virus is a reassortment of swine, human and avian genes.",
"Raul Rabadan, study co-author and assistant professor at Columbia and colleagues are finding the closest ancestors for each of the parts of the 2009 H1N1 virus and then trying to understand how the parts of the virus may have combined in the past, a complicated question.",
"It is impossible to know from the available data where geographically the 2009 H1N1 virus came from, but with more samples, researchers may be able to decipher more clues, he said.",
"Just from looking at the genetic code, it is unknown what species is the virus' host, how easily the 2009 H1N1 virus is transmitted and how deadly the 2009 H1N1 virus is.",
"\"We have a set of letters that you can try to map, and then you can try to see how this map is working, how would you know if a particular combination is giving you something?",
"That's something that has to be solved.\"",
"Although a 5-year-old boy in the small village of La Gloria, Mexico, is said to be \"patient zero,\" with the earliest confirmed case of 2009 H1N1, no one knows exactly how the boy contracted the 2009 H1N1 virus.",
"Read more about the boy .",
"Some say that tracking the origin of the 2009 H1N1 virus isn't as important as finding ecological weak points and bolstering surveillance.",
"\"We may not be able to say precisely say, 'This pig farm spawned the 2009 H1N1 virus' and all that, but I think it's very important to face the facts about what kinds of ecological settings are spawning danger,\" said Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.",
"For influenza, the new ecological stress points mostly relate to industrial-scale livestock and, in the case of avian flu, backyard chicken farming, Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations said.",
"In both of those cases, there are \"economic lives at stake\" in making decisions such as killing certain animals, Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations said.",
"\"We have to figure out a way we can surveil those populations, surveil that ecology, without the industries at stake -- or, in the case of chickens, the small family farmer in Indonesia -- feeling that the small family farmer in Indonesia's livelihood is challenged just by the very fact that anybody's even trying to do surveillance,\" Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations said.",
"But the genetic lineage of the virus does offer useful clues, Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations said.",
"Cooperation among the United States, Canada and Mexico in every step of the investigation has been profound, Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations said.",
"By contrast, Indonesia has refused to share bird flu samples with the World Health Organization in the past.",
"Some researchers say it's not surprising that a new virus such as 2009 H1N1 would seem to have a new virus such as 2009 H1N1's focal point in Mexico.",
"A 2008 Nature study co-written by Peter Daszak, president of Wildlife Trust, an international organization of scientists, used computer modeling to find that hot spots for emerging infectious diseases include China, Southeast Asia, Mexico, parts of Brazil, Europe and the United States.",
"A 2008 Nature study co-written by Peter Daszak, president of Wildlife Trust, an international organization of scientists showed that socioeconomic, environmental and ecological factors correlate with emerging infectious diseases and help identify \"hot spots\" for where they crop up.",
"Now, researchers are looking at travel and trade patterns from Mexico to shed light on how the virus has spread.",
"There's a large trade of pigs from the United States and Canada, as well as pig trades from other countries, each year into Mexico, Daszak said.",
"\"There's a lot of mixing, and a lot of potential for viruses,\" Daszak said.",
"\"It's equally likely that the 2009 H1N1 virus emerged in Mexico as the 2009 H1N1 virus is in Canada and the U.S.\"",
"The main driving factors for an emerging infectious disease are the demographics of people, livestock production and changing food production strategies, Daszak said.",
"Although scientists know of several thousand viruses, more than a million viruses could be out there, assuming every vertebrate species on the planet has 20 viruses that no other vertebrate has, and there are 50,000 vertebrates, Daszak said.",
"The lesson from the swine flu outbreak is that \"we missed the boat,\" Daszak said.",
"While resources were thrown at avian flu in Southeast Asia, the newest virus has emerged at the United States' doorstep, Daszak said.",
"\"We should have been out there looking for these things happening,\" Daszak said.",
"\"We should have been working better with those pig farms or with in any industry in a hot zone.\"",
"Anyone who is building pig farms or poultry farms in a hot zone of emerging infectious diseases should increase security, look out for new diseases in livestock or people, and investigate any novel diseases rigorously",
", Daszak said.",
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that each gene segment of 2009 H1N1 had its closest ancestor in swine influenza virus, and officials hypothesized that the reassortment of these genes occurred in pigs, said Nancy Cox, director of the CDC's Influenza Division.",
"\"It doesn't necessarily mean that that's where it occurred, but that was our working hypothesis based on the genetic relationship of each of the gene segments,\" she said.",
"Regardless of the outcome of 2009 H1N1, more infectious diseases will crop up over time, and there's no end in sight, Daszak said.",
"\"When you're in a genetic arms race like this, we're always going to be fighting this battle,\" Daszak said."

"Dan Kruse started to feel weak one day while hanging out with Dan Kruse's friends in a park.",
"The next day, Dan Kruse woke up completely jaundiced -- the whites of Dan Kruse's eyes were yellow -- and Dan Kruse urinated blood.",
"Dan Kruse, now 23, had food poisoning from E. coli bacteria as a teenager.",
"Deeply concerned, Dan Kruse's mother took Dan Kruse to the doctor, who told Dan Kruse to go to the hospital immediately.",
"Doctors determined Dan Kruse had a severe form of food poisoning that made Dan Kruse's kidneys shut down in a condition known as hemolytic uremic syndrome, caused by the bacteria E. coli.",
"A priest gave Dan Kruse last rites, and doctors said Dan Kruse would most likely spend the rest of Dan Kruse's life on kidney dialysis.",
"\"I didn't go to the bathroom at all for seven to nine days because of his kidneys shutting down,\" said Dan Kruse.",
"\"I definitely almost died.\"",
"But with the help of an experimental treatment involving medicine \"like a fine grain sand\" that he ate six times a day, Dan Kruse began to improve, and made a full recovery without dialysis.",
"Food poisoning from strains of E. coli is less common in the United States than salmonella, a bacteria that has caused more than 1,000 infections in a recent outbreak since April, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"Tomatoes have been implicated in a recent outbreak since April, but many other foods, such as raw meat and poultry, can spread salmonella and other kinds of bacteria.",
"Food borne illnesses result in more than 300,000 hospitalizations in the United States every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"About 76 million cases of food borne disease occur annually in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.",
"Salmonella and E. coli present Salmonella and E. coli in such similar ways that doctors can't tell which is which without testing a stool sample. Learn more about the differences between salmonella and E. coli » .",
"Both kinds of bacteria can lead to infections involving diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and sometimes a low-grade fever.",
"In most cases, an infected person will recover within a week without medicine simply by staying hydrated, doctors said.",
"People who experience voluminous, bloody and persistent diarrhea should seek medical attention, and may need antibiotics, said Dr. Jennifer Christie, gastroenterologist and assistant professor of medicine at Emory University.",
"When should you go to the hospital?",
"When you're not able to tolerate fluids, vomiting so much that you can't keep anything down, or have profuse watery diarrhea, said Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.",
"A racing heart along with diarrhea and vomiting indicates dehydration, Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",
"People with compounding medical problems such as cardiac conditions or diabetes should also seek medical attention, doctors said.",
"In some cases, especially among small children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems, the infection may become more severe and lead to long-term complications.",
"Salmonella can lead to a condition called Reiter's syndrome that involves joint pain, eye irritation and painful urination.",
"Chronic arthritis may result, regardless of whether a person takes antibiotics.",
"A common strand of E. coli, often called E. coli 0157, can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome, which makes bacterial toxins go into the bloodstream and destroy red blood cells.",
"This can result in kidney failure as a result of damaged cells clogging tiny blood vessels, according to MayoClinic.com.",
"That strain of E. coli is distinct from enterotoxigenic E. coli, which causes traveler's diarrhea.",
"People traveling to developing countries of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia are at particular risk for traveler's diarrhea, but it usually resolves in a few days and is rarely life-threatening.",
"Symptoms of food borne bacterial infections are also similar to those of some viruses, though bloody diarrhea is sometimes a telltale sign of bacteria.",
"To prevent food borne bacterial infections, medical professionals emphasize the importance of washing your hands after handling raw meat, poultry, and uncooked eggs.",

"Read more tips about food safety » .",
"While it is always a good idea to wash produce, a rinse doesn't always get rid of bacteria.",
"In fact, you would have to scrub a vegetable for several minutes with antibacterial soap to kill the invisible offenders, Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",

"This may sound like a no-brainer, but Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said it's not unusual for people to contract food borne illnesses this way.",
"\"Make sure your food looks good and tastes good before you eat your food,\" Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",
"Cooking at high temperatures also kills bacteria, but people do not typically cook tomatoes and other produce, Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",
"Avoid anything containing raw eggs, such as Hollandaise sauce, Caesar salad dressing, and undercooked French toast",
", Christie said.",
"Food that has been sitting out for hours at picnics or buffets may also be contaminated, Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",
"Hot food should typically be eaten hot, and meat should never cool below 140 F before reheating.",
"Below 140 F, bacteria thrive and multiply, regardless of the time that the food has been sitting out.",
"Similarly, cold foods like shrimp cocktail will go bad if allowed to warm.",
"\"You want to avoid a situation when your bacteria find your food just as appealing as you do,\" Dr. Iris Reyes, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania said.",
"Dan Kruse said Dan Kruse avoids alfalfa sprouts, which have been associated with E. coli outbreaks, but still eats meat.",
"\"I love meat, I'm a meat eater.",

"Michelle Obama arrives with President Obama in London, England, for the G-20 Summit.",
"During first lady Michelle Obama's whirlwind visit to Europe this past week, Michelle Obama's refreshing take on American style has emerged.",
"her refreshing take on American style is elegant, smart, appropriate and shows Michelle Obama to be comfortable in Michelle Obama's own skin.",
"Coverage surrounding Michelle Obama's wardrobe in Europe, from cardigans to kitten heels, has been relentless, riveting, fawning and, frankly, missing the objective of Michelle Obama strategically packed suitcase.",
"No doubt about it, Michelle Obama scored big, looking terrific everywhere, delighting everyone -- probably no one more so than Mickey Drexler, CEO of J. Crew.",

"You would have thought each of Michelle Obama's \"face offs,\" as both American and British tabloids labeled her meetings with Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's first lady Sarah Brown, and France's Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, had been deliberately set up as counter-programming to C-SPAN's coverage of the budget negotiations in Congress. Watch Michelle Obama wow the world » .",
"One wire service reporter asked me if Michelle, wearing a two-toned silk dress by Isabel Toledo, should have \"taken a bigger fashion risk\" when meeting the 83-year-old British monarch, who was all mumsy in blush pink.",

"Another wanted to know if I agreed that Michelle Obama's now-sold-out J.

"True, Michelle's reception has been equally rapturous.",
"But, Mrs. Kennedy's transatlantic mission nearly 50 years ago was to show the world that despite America's image of a country fueled by energy and youth, it was also one of elegance, poise and culture.",
"In addition, whether speaking in English or French, Mrs. Kennedy purposely presented Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy's husband as children of privilege, embracing the aura of Camelot, which had cast herself and her husband as American royalty.",
"Conversely, what's most striking about each of Michelle Obama's appearances is not the grandiose message, diverse labels or designers' origins.",
"Rather, it is their unmistakable, uniform accessibility and appropriateness.",
"Michelle Obama looks exactly like what Michelle Obama is: a modern American, working woman.",
"Michelle Obama's outfits appear comfortable instead of buttoned up, Michelle Obama's impression is pretty rather than formal, Michelle Obama's silhouette based on sportswear -- the form of design that is at the heart of American fashion -- not politics.",
"Add warmth, confidence, and openness and what the world is seeing -- besides someone who knows how to pack for a week -- is a woman they would want to know, to embrace as a neighbor or a friend.",
"Though I'm still having trouble getting past those kitten heels (note to Michelle: You'd look so much better in a four-inch pump.",
"Don't worry, your husband can handle it), what Michelle Obama has brilliantly accomplished in fairly record time is refashioning the image of Americans as relevant, approachable, relatable, and best of all, likable.",

"KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) --",
"Nepal's government ordered Nepal's army chief of staff fired Sunday, touching off street protests and a split in Nepal's Maoist-dominated ruling coalition.",
"General Rookmangud Katawal gestures after inspecting the guard of honour in New Delhi on December 12, 2007.",
"But Gen. Rookmangud Katawal has refused to accept Gen. Rookmangud Katawal's dismissal, and Nepalese President Ram Baran Yadav -- the constitutional commander-in-chief of Nepal's armed forces -- has told Gen. Rookmangud Katawal to remain in office, a presidential spokesman said.",
"Nepal's Cabinet voted to dismiss Gen. Rookmangud Katawal after the military refused Nepal's government's order to stop recruiting about 3,000 new soldiers to fill vacant positions when it has yet to take in former Maoist rebels, as a 2006 peace deal required.",
"The move prompted the Maoists' largest coalition partner to quit Nepal's government, the party's leader said.",
"\"Without consensus, the ongoing peace process will not reach the ongoing peace process's logical conclusion and the drafting of the new constitution will not be possible,\" said Ishwor Pokharel, general secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist).",
"\"The consensus that existed so far has come to standstill.\"",
"Supporters of both sides in the dispute took to the streets for demonstrations Sunday.",
"Despite sporadic clashes between the two factions, there were no serious injuries reported.",
"the Maoists' laid down the Maoists''s arms and won power in 2008 elections after an agreement that ended a decade-long insurgency.",
"Under the deal, more than 19,000 former insurgents were to be integrated into Nepal's security forces.",
"But two weeks ago, Nepal's government asked Gen. Rookmangud Katawal to explain why Gen. Rookmangud Katawal went to the Supreme Court to challenge Nepal's government's refusal to extend the tenure of eight brigadier generals in March.",
"Government spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara said Sunday that Nepal's government was not satisfied with Gen. Rookmangud Katawal's explanation and fired Gen. Rookmangud Katawal -- three months before Gen. Rookmangud Katawal's scheduled retirement -- in a meeting that the Maoists''s coalition partners boycotted.",
"Pokharel said Pokharel's party urged the Maoists' not to fire Gen. Rookmangud Katawal without a consensus in Nepal's parliament.",
"Pokharel said the Maoists, led by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, ignored that advice.",
"\"We do not like the way the Maoists''s way of functioning,\" Pokharel said.",
"the Maoists' hold 238 of the 601 seats in parliament, while Pokharel's party has 109.",
"the Maoists' could continue to hold power with the support of smaller parties, but Pokharel said Pokharel's party is working to form a new ruling coalition.",
"The Cabinet named an interim army chief, but presidential spokesman Rajendra Dahal told CNN that 18 parties in Nepal's parliament asked Yadav to keep Gen. Rookmangud Katawal on the job.",
"There was no immediate reaction from the government on the president's decision."

"(CNN) --",
"English contains more words than any other language on the planet and added its millionth word early Wednesday, according to The site, a Web site that uses a math formula to estimate how often words are created.",
"The site says its millionth word was added to English on Wednesday.",
"The site estimates the millionth English word, \"Web 2.0\" was added to the language Wednesday at 5:22 a.m. ET.",
"The term refers to the second, more social generation of the Internet.",
"The site says more than 14 words are added to English every day, at the current rate.",
"The \"Million Word March,\" however, has made the man who runs this word-counting project somewhat of a pariah in the linguistic community.",
"Some linguists say it's impossible to count the number of words in a language because languages are always changing, and because defining what counts as a word is a fruitless endeavor.",
"Paul J.J. Payack, president and chief word analyst for The site, says, however, that the million-word estimation isn't as important as the idea behind Payack's project, which is to show that English has become a complex, global language.",
"\"It's a people's language,\" Payack said.",
"Other languages, like French, Payack said, put big walls around Other languages's vocabularies.",
"English brings others in.",
"\"English has the tradition of swallowing new words whole,\" Payack said.",
"\"Other languages translate.\"",
"The Internet, global commerce and global travel have accelerated the trend by putting English in contact with many other linguistic groups.",
"This has made English more rich and more complex -- hence all of the new terms, Payack said.",
"Still, Payack says Payack doesn't include all new words in Payack's count.",
"Words must make sense in at least 60 percent of the world to be official, Payack said.",
"And they must make sense to different communities of people.",
"A new technology term that's only understood in Silicon Valley wouldn't count as a mainstream word, Payack said.",
"Payack's computer models check billions of Web sites -- including the Global Top 5,000 media sites -- dictionaries, scholarly publications and news articles to see how frequently words are used, Payack said.",
"A word must make 25,000 appearances to be deemed legitimate.",
"Learn about how other languages stack up » .",
"Payack said news events have also fueled the rapid expansion of English, which Payack said has more words than any other language.",
"Mandarin Chinese comes in second with about 450,000 words, Payack said.",
"English terms like \"Obamamania,\" \"defriend,\" \"wardrobe malfunction,\" \"zombie banks,\" \"shovel ready\" and \"recessionista\" all have grown out of recent news cycles about the presidential election, economic crash, online networking or a sports event, Payack said.",
"Other languages might not have developed new terms to deal with such phenomena, Payack said.",
"Language experts who spoke with CNN said Language experts who spoke with CNN disapprove of Payack's count, but Language experts who spoke with CNN agree that English generally has more words than most, if not all, languages.",
"\"This is stuff that you just can't count,\" said Jesse Sheidlower, editor at large of the Oxford English Dictionary.",
"\"No one can count it, and to pretend that you can is totally disingenuous.",
"It simply can't be done.\"",
"the Oxford English Dictionary has about 600,000 entries, Sheidlower said.",
"But that by no means includes all words, Sheidlower said.",
"For example, Sheidlower said \"great-great-great-great grandfather\" could be considered a word, but wouldn't be in the Oxford English Dictionary.",
"There's a similar problem with numbers, which may be counted up by their pieces -- \"twenty\" and \"three\" -- but not always as a group, as in \"two-hundred twenty-three.\"",
"Part of what makes determining the number of words in a language so difficult is that there are so many root words and their variants, said Sarah Thomason, president of the Linguistic Society of America and a linguistics professor at the University of Michigan.",
"In the language of native Alaskans, Sarah Thomason, president of the Linguistic Society of America and a linguistics professor at the University of Michigan said, there are dozens of words for snow, but many of dozens of words for snow are linked together and wouldn't be counted individually.",
"Does that mean, Sarah Thomason, president of the Linguistic Society of America and a linguistics professor at the University of Michigan asked, that \"slush,\" \"powder\" and other snow words in English should be counted as one entry?",
"Thomason called the million-word count a \"sexy idea\" that is \"all hype and no substance.\"",
"Linguists and lexicographers run into further complications when trying to count words that are spelled one way but can have several meanings, said Allan Metcalf, an English professor at MacMurray College in Illinois, and an officer at the American Dialect Society.",
"\"The word bear, b-e-a-r -- is that two words or one, for example?",
"You have a noun that's a wild creature and then you have b-e-a-r, [which means] to bear left or to bear right, and there's many other things,\" he said.",
"\"So you really can't be exact about a millionth word.\"",
"Payack said Payack doesn't consider Payack to be the definitive count, just an interesting estimation based on set criteria Payack has helped develop.",
"\"It's always an estimation,\" Payack said.",
"\"It's like the height of Mount Everest is an estimation.",
"The height of Mount Everest has changed five times in my lifetime because as we get better tools, the estimates get better.\"",
"Payack said the count is meant to be a celebration of English as a global language.",
"And, while Payack says other languages are being stamped out by English's expansion, it's a powerful thing that so many people today are able to communicate with such a vast list of words."

"\"General Motors, back in the mid 80's, is the reason Spring Hill began to grow in the first place,\" Mayor Mike Dinwiddie said.",

"The last Saturn made in Tennessee rolled off the line in 2007.",
"After retooling, General Motors started building the Chevrolet Traverse in Spring Hill, but that production is now on that production's way out too.",

"Williams said Williams was also stunned about the end of Saturn.",
"\"I'm like everyone else, 'How can this happen?'",

"Health officials expect more than 3 million doses of H1N1 flu vaccine to be available in the first week of October.",
"Three flu shot manufacturers were licensed by the FDA last week.",
"\"3.4 million doses of vaccines will be available,\" said Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"\"All of that vaccine is the inhalable vaccine,\" Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.",
"That form of vaccine is marketed in the United States as FluMist and is approved only for healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49.",
"Pregnant women are not allowed to get the inhalable vaccine because the inhalable vaccine contains a live virus.",
"Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added that Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention thinks there some flu shots may be available in early October as well, but Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had a hard number only for the inhalable vaccine.",

"The 3.4 million doses of vaccine that will be shipped at the beginning of October are the first of 195 million doses the U.S. government has purchased from five vaccine manufacturers, Dr. Jay Butler, who heads the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.",
"Last week, the Food and Drug Administration licensed the vaccine from four of those companies.",
"Sanofi Pasteur, Novartis and CSL Limited all manufacture flu shots, and MedImmune manufactures the inhalable vaccine.",
"GlaxoSmithkline, which also is producing injectable flu vaccine, still needs to have GlaxoSmithkline's vaccine approved by the agency.",
"Health officials report that the new H1N1 flu virus has not changed from what was seen earlier this year, so Health officials are expecting the vaccine to be very effective.",
"In some parts of the country, the vaccine can't some soon enough.",
"The deputy director of the CDC's Influenza Division, Dr. Daniel Jernigan, said 21 states are now reporting widespread flu activity.",
"\"It's a very strange thing for us to see that amount of influenza at this time of year\" rather than much later in the flu season.",
"Jernigan said there's been only a small an increase in hospitalizations, mainly among young children and adults.",
"But there has been a lot of activity in outpatient settings.",
"Watch a report on the surprising spread of flu » .",
"Until the vaccine becomes available, health officials have recommended steps that people can take to cut people's chance of getting sick or, for those already sick, prevent the spread of the flu, including frequent handwashing, sneezing into a tissue or sleeve rather than into one's hand, and staying home when sick.",
"Those who are at the highest risk of getting seriously ill -- pregnant women, children, young adults and people with chronic lung or heart disease or diabetes -- should be the first to get vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus.",
"Health care workers and emergency medical personnel are also encouraged be vaccinated early.",
"\"Our goal is to ultimately make the vaccine available to every American who wishes to be vaccinated,\" Butler said.",
"\"The vaccine demand is hard to predict.\"",

"According to a CNN/Opinion Corp. poll conducted in late August, 66 percent of Americans plan to be vaccinated against H1N1 flu.",

"Punctuation promises comedy in \"The Informant!\" as if the title subject is a cartoon secret agent -- maybe Agent 86 in \"Get Smart.\"",
"Matt Damon, as a corporate turncoat, offers up secrets in \"The Informant!\"",
"But Matt Damon's not.",
"The whistle-blower worthy of an exclamation point in this groovy-looking, chuckle-baiting, fact-based movie from Steven Soderbergh is Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois.",
"It's the early 1990s.",
"The company man is helping expose ADM's alleged global price-fixing activities to the FBI, cooperating with the feds long enough to gather invaluable evidence.",
"But what Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois doesn't confide to Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois's the FBI handlers, and what Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois's wheat-colored jackets, Dilbert ties, and weakling mustache hide, at least at first, is that this inside source is not completely trustworthy.",
"Matt Damon, fattened up to fit Matt Damon's boxy suits, wears Whitacre's slack demeanor beautifully.",
"The star -- who has quietly and steadily turned into a great Everyman actor -- is in nimble control as Matt Damon reveals Damon's character's character's deep crazies.",
"Watch why Matt Damon gained 30 pounds for the role » .",
"Steven Soderbergh's amused study of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history is adapted from \"The Informant: A True Story,\" an amazing, deeply reported book by New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald.",
"That book told the story without editorial eye-rolling.",
"But somewhere between New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald's journalistic attention to detail and the bubbly, dialogue-besotted script by \"The Bourne Ultimatum's\" Scott Z. Burns, Steven Soderbergh has chosen to apply an attitude of arch whoopee, a greasy veneer of mirth over what is, no joke, a serious mess of malfeasance and mental instability.",
"It's tempting to laugh, but what's the joke: Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois?",
"ADM?",
"the FBI?",
"The fashion trends of Decatur?",
"Smarty condescension lurks behind the suburban bushes.",
"Had a '90s date and place card not been supplied, I would have remained in an honest muddle about the era depicted on screen.",
"And since Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois is subliminally likened to bumbling, fictional Maxwell Smart, that's probably as the filmmaker intended.",
"The artistic choice is reinforced by a '70s-era \"Laugh-In\" aesthetic seen in everything from the smiley yellow novelty typography of the opening credits to the fancy rubber-chicken music served up in heaps of horns and whistles by essence-of-'70s composer Marvin Hamlisch.",
"Sock it to me.",
"Playing it straight and letting his Sam-Donaldson-meets-Spock hairdo suggest otherwise, Scott Bakula makes an appealing the FBI agent with a deadpan grimace just this side -- or maybe it's the other side -- of \"Dragnet's\" Joe Friday.",
"Comedian Joel McHale from E!'s \"The Soup\" plays the fellow agent who stares with big round eyes while his partner squints at Whitacre's successive leakages of truth/lie/ truth/lie.",
"The always wonderful, huggable Melanie Lynskey, who stole the show in \"Away We Go,\" does more great wifely work as Ginger Whitacre, her husband's biggest booster.",
"A valued subset of Steven Soderbergh's audience is sure to dig iconic hipster comic brothers Tom and Dick Smothers in small roles.",
"In fact, the wily pair would fit right in with an \"Ocean's Whatever\" cast of coolios, enjoying some retro-style ensemble fun, regardless of whether the audience does.",
"Steven Soderbergh is as smart, stylish, and attentive a filmmaker as they come.",
"And there are moments in \"The Informant!\" when I can almost be convinced that the tonal feints he establishes at the intersection of joke and no-joke are seriously, thoughtfully meant to replicate the misaligned synapses in Whitacre's own head.",
"iReport.com: Matt Damon's latest worth checking out .",
"But if that's the intention, Steven Soderbergh ultimately made the choice to abandon interesting, dispassionate empathy for the more quick-fix payoff of amusement.",
"As Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois goes through Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a biochemist and well-placed executive at the agri-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in Decatur, Illinois's days, Matt Damon recites interior monologues of distracted observation in voice-overs meant to demonstrate how his character's unusual brain works.",
"In \"The Informant!\", that brain -- screwy and yet capable of doing important undercover work -- free-associates like Ellen DeGeneres on a swing through Walmart.",
"Cute, but as even Agent 86 would say in \"Get Smart\": Missed it by that much.",

"Egyptian women perform the Eid al-Fitr dawn prayer at a stadium in Mansura, 120 km north of Cairo.",
"The faithful were ushering in Eid al-Fitr -- three days of celebrations that Muslims mark with joyous community prayers, acts of charity, visits from far-flung relatives, gift-giving and elaborate feasts.",
"\"Think Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's -- all rolled into one.",
"It's that huge for us,\" said Sajjad Aziz of Hoboken, New Jersey.",
"Islam follows a lunar calendar, and the timing of Eid al-Fitr varies around the world depending on when the crescent of a new moon is sighted.",
"So, while most countries -- including the United States -- observed Eid on Sunday, some will begin their celebrations on Monday.",
"The night before Eid, entire communities gather on rooftops, scanning the sky with giddy anticipation.",
"\"It only needs one sighting of the moon in the whole country, and the whole nation erupts in cheers,\" said Qazi Arif, 35, of Sirajgong, Bangladesh.",
"\"It's a divine feeling, hard to describe.\"",
"Eid al-Fitr bids goodbye to Ramadan -- a month of dawn-to-dusk abstinence from food, drinks and other sensual pleasures.",
"Muslims believe the Quran, the religion's holy book, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad during Ramadan more than 1,400 years ago.",
"The Eid is one of two major holidays in Islam, alongside another called Eid al-Adha.",
"The latter commemorates the prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Abraham's son, Ishmael, for God.",
"On the morning of Eid, Muslims don new clothes and head to prayers that are often held in open fields to accommodate crowds too big to contain in mosques.",
"Those who can afford it donate a small percentage of their possession or its equivalent to the poor and needy so they too can avail themselves for the celebrations.",
"Feasts await at every house.",
"\"It's a festival principally about community.",
"We're even asked to take a different route when we walk back from prayers so that we can meet different sets of people to greet and celebrate with,\" said Wasim Iqbal of Karachi, Pakistan.",
"For Muslims in North America -- and countries where they are the minority -- Eid is a more subdued affair.",
"\"If you have family close by, then you can kind of capture the mood that you remember from back home,\" said Abdallah Gamal, a native of Egypt who lives in St. Louis, Missouri.",
"\"But it's not the same.\"",
"Because the U.S. Census does not ask about religious affiliation, it is difficult to gauge the Muslim population in the United States.",
"The Pew Muslim American study conducted two years ago estimated it at 2.5 million, while the Council on American-Islamic Relations places it as high as 6 million.",
"On Saturday, both President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered greetings to American Muslims.",
"\"We know there is more than unites peoples of faith than divides us,\" Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said.",
"\"So as Ramadan draws to a close, let us hold on to that spirit of community throughout the year to achieve our common goals of peace, prosperity and stability.\"",
"It is a message that Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, also shared during Eid al-Fitr prayers when Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai called on the Taliban to join the peace process in Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai's war-weary country.",
"The day wasn't one of universal comity, however.",
"In Yemen, the government and rebels accused each other Saturday of breaking a cease-fire they both asked for to commemorate Eid al-Fitr.",
"And Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei used Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's Eid al-Fitr sermon to launch another volley at the country's arch-rival Israel and at Western powers.",
"\"We're not quite there, I'll will admit,\" said Mehreen Ali of Boston, Massachusetts.",
"\"But have you seen an Eid prayer?",
"Rows and rows of Muslims all prostrating together in unison.",
"It's a feeling of such unity and brotherhood.",
"You have to believe that with that spirit present, anything is possible.\""

"(CNN) --",
"Actor Michael Jai White thinks the negative connotation surrounding the term \"blaxploitation film\" is a bunch of jive.",
"Actor Michael Jai White stars in the new spoof \"Black Dynamite.\"",
"\"The problem I have with the word is that it seems to encompass movies that don't fall under that category,\" Actor Michael Jai White said.",
"\"As soon as you hear the title 'Shaft' people think 'blaxploitation' and that is absolutely unfair because that film was made before the term even existed.\"",
"White, the star and co-writer of the new movie \"Black Dynamite,\" would rather people focus on what Actor Michael Jai White views as the positives of the genre of 1970s urban action films starring African-American actors",
"Actor Michael Jai White's new movie, which opened in limited release last weekend and will start going wider, follows the exploits of Black Dynamite, a former CIA agent who takes to the streets after his brother is killed by the mafia, orphanages are flooded with drugs and some bad malt liquor finds some bad malt liquor's way into the 'hood.",
"It is both a spoof of, and homage to, the genre whose films like \"Black Caesar,\" \"The Mac,\" \"Foxy Brown,\" and \"Superfly\" have developed a cult following over the years.",
"\"Black Dynamite\" caught the eye of Sony Pictures at the Sundance Film Festival and the studio acquired the rights to distribute the film.",
"A viral marketing campaign helped whip up anticipation for the movie, which also features former late-night talk show host Arsenio Hall and \"In Living Color\" cast member Tommy Davidson as pimps.",
"Director Scott Sanders said Director Scott Sanders has always been fascinated by the fact that while blaxploitation really only grabbed hold of the industry for about five years during the early 1970s, it was so influential.",
"\"It was such an extreme genre with the look and the music and there were really no boundaries or rules,\" Director Scott Sanders said.",
"\"It's always been a fascination for Director Scott Sanders given how much it influenced hip-hop, black culture and culture as a whole, given the brevity.\"",
"White, best known for White's roles in the films \"Spawn\" and Tyler Perry's \"Why Did I Get Married,\" said White is a huge fan of blaxploitation films and views White's movie as a loving send-up.",
"While White is aware that some of blaxploitation films were unintentionally funny with some of the films's low-budget gaffes -- such as the appearance of mic booms in some scenes -- and some of the films's stereotypes, White said the genre is a valued part of the industry's history.",
"\"blaxploitation films really saved Hollywood because the studio system was in trouble and they learned that they had a cash cow with blaxploitation films,\" White said.",
"\"Later they exploited a cash cow by making any movie and throwing the term 'black' in front of it and that's what made a cash cow exploitive.\"",
"blaxploitation films also gave African-American actors a chance to work and reflected a people's pride following the gains of the civil rights era.",
"Laurence Washington, managing editor and co-publisher of Blackflix.com, said blaxploitation films helped young, black fans like him realize that \"when we grow up we don't have to be train porters, busboys and waiters.\"",
"blaxploitation films instead portrayed handsome, brave and suave black heroes who always got the girl, Washington said.",
"\"When blaxploitation films came out in the '70s, black audiences had never had action film heroes black audiences could identify with,\" he said.",
"\"[blaxploitation films] also opened the door for today's black actors and directors to enter the mainstream.\"",
"Darius James, author of \"That's Blaxploitation!: Roots of the Baadasssss 'Tude (Rated X by an All-Whyte Jury),\" said blaxploitation films were like any other film that appeal to a specific audience, such as the indie movies of Roger Corman and Russ Meyer.",
"James said James grew up seeing civil rights workers beaten and hosed on television and the movies came out time when there was a sense of defiance and resistance against the marginalization of African-Americans.",
"\"These films, black exploitation films, reflected that spirit,\" James said.",
"White said White wishes there were more action films starring black actors these days.",
"The films of the past were fearless and about true emotion, White said.",
"\"The 'black is beautiful' movement had taken off and there was so much pride,\" White said.",
"\"When they called each other 'brother' they meant it.\"",
"\"The heroes were strong, sexy and The heroes kicked ass.\"",
"\"I ask 'Where is that now?'",
"I would like people to look at our film and say: 'Where are the black actors like that now?' \"",
"Jay Potts, the cartoonist behind World of Hurt -- which bills itself as \"The Internet's #1 Blaxploitation Webcomic\" -- said Jay Potts, the cartoonist behind World of Hurt -- which bills itself as \"The Internet's #1 Blaxploitation Webcomic\" -- hopes \"Black Dynamite\" furthers interest in the genre.",
"And while \"blaxploitation\" is a convenient moniker to lump in films that may not have always had the best production value, Jay Potts, the cartoonist behind World of Hurt -- which bills itself as \"The Internet's #1 Blaxploitation Webcomic\" -- said they were a testament to an era.",
"\"The films came out at a time when black people were learning about black people and flexing black people's creative muscles,\" Jay Potts, the cartoonist behind World of Hurt -- which bills itself as \"The Internet's #1 Blaxploitation Webcomic\" -- said.",
"\"To me, there was a lot of fun, had a lot of energy and while it always wasn't perfect by any means there was so much life in it that I hope people take another look.\""

"Charchian is familiar with the wellspring of offbeat companies fueled by the fantasy football craze; Charchian owns LeagueSafe, which stores league entry fees in a bank until it issues a payout to the winner at season's end.",
"Other specialty businesses, Charchian said, range from the obvious, such as trophy companies, to the esoteric, such as fantasy dispute resolution.",

"Also, with most leagues costing less than $10 a week and with the average player spending nine hours weekly researching and tweaking his or her roster, \"the dollar-per-entertainment value is really advantageous,\" Charchian said.",
"Fantasy players at CBSsports.com spent an average of 102 minutes per visit on the site, according to Nielsen data from last year.",
"the site has more users willing to pay to play, whereas competitors like NFL.com and Yahoo! host predominantly free games, \"so it's more meaningful to competitors like NFL.com and Yahoo!,\" Kint said.",
"Kint could not divulge specific figures but said \"millions\" play CBSsports.com's free and pay games.",
"Entry fees and related fantasy products make up about 30 percent of the site's non-advertising revenue, Kint said.",
"Advertisers are getting wise to the \"coveted market,\" comprised largely of young, educated males, Kint said, as evidenced by the site's partnerships with Ford, Snickers, Buffalo Wild Wings and Dave & Buster's.",
"\"When people are down and depressed, people look for escapes.",
"Fantasy football fills that void like booze and anything else that kind of distracts you,\" said Ed Reichow, owner of Titlecraft, which builds custom trophies only for fantasy footballers.",

"\"And the wife isn't going to get upset if you put it on the mantle, because it's nicer than some of the furniture in the room.\"",
"But what would the wife think about buying insurance policies on your fantasy football players?",
"Some spouses must be OK with it because, FSI's Giaccone reported, business has been threefold what FSI's Giaccone expected -- this, despite that it costs considerably more, percentagewise, to insure a fantasy quarterback than it does a real quarterback.",
"Chris Nash, an underwriter with Australia-based Sportscover, which insures athletes, said the average U.S. football player pays up to 4 percent of the sum insured.",
"FSI's products range between 10 percent and 15 percent of the league entry fee.",
"Despite the contrast, FSI's Giaccone described fantasy insurance as a must-have for fantasy die-hards.",
"FSI's Giaccone went so far as to question the sanity of some fantasy players who might ignore FSI's Giaccone's product.",

"Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar of Springdale, Arkansas, are the parents of 18 children, and their family is the focus of a TLC network reality series.",
"The Duggars say The Duggars are grateful for The Duggars's 18 children, and may have more.",
"Joy Behar, guest host Thursday night on \"Larry King Live,\" asked The Duggars how The Duggars are able to stay debt free with such a large family and what The Duggars thought of Nadya Suleman, the single mother who recently gave birth to octuplets after having fertility treatments.",
"Following is a transcript of their conversation.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Let me ask you something.",
"What is your reaction to this octomom?",
"Nadya Suleman, the story.",
"What do you think about that?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"Well, I just know from my own heart, I can't judge and look at This woman and judge This woman's situation.",
"I just know from my own heart, and personally God changed The Duggars's heart about children years ago.",
"And so The Duggars've kind of gone about it the old-fashioned way.",
"And so The Duggars are enjoying each one of the blessings that God has given The Duggars, and The Duggars're thankful for each one of the blessings that God has given us.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Right, at least The Duggars enjoyed having the babies, you went through the sex then the giving birth.",
"This woman didn't have any of that, except the giving birth, which must have been rough, don't you think?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"Oh, my, I can't imagine.",
"I had twins, but I have -- I just can't imagine having eight at once and the responsibility that that brings.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Why do you suppose This woman has provoked such negativity?",
"They have a \"USA Today\" Gallup poll saying 70 percent of those surveyed are unsympathetic to This woman.",
"What is going on?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"Well, you know, I feel like probably more than anything it's just the fact of the responsibility issues from their perspective, and I, you know, I imagine that's probably more of the animosity that's out there.",
"And so -- but I do -- I just can't imagine, you know, This woman -- how This woman's going to handle that many little ones under the age of 8.",
"That's a lot of little ones all at once.",
"Jim Bob:",
"The Duggars just need to pray for This woman.",
"Joy Behar: But The Duggars haven't experienced that kind of hostility for the children you have.",
"Is that because you're married?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"I don't know.",
"I think maybe, you know, being that God's given The Duggars's one or two at a time and The Duggars've kind of done it the old-fashioned way, I don't know.",
"The Duggars love them, The Duggars're enjoying them, and by God's grace The Duggars're taking care of them if God gives The Duggars one more.",
"So I just think The Duggars're grateful.",
"Joy Behar:",
"I understand that The Duggars are debt free.",
"I can't even imagine how you pulled that off.",
"... How did you do that?",
"Jim Bob:",
"Well, back about 18 years ago, The Duggars saw Jim Sammons' financial seminar on DVD, and it was life-changing.",
"At that point, The Duggars purposed to try to get out of debt and try to stay out of debt.",
"And The Duggars's family motto is to buy used and save the difference.",
"The Duggars shop a lot at garage sales, thrift stores.",
"Michelle Duggar: Auctions.",
"The Duggars bought The Duggars's industrial kitchen equipment that way, The Duggars's vehicles that way, and so The Duggars really cut corners and The Duggars live very frugally.",
"Jim Bob:",
"That's right, The Duggars've never bought a new vehicle.",
"So The Duggars do live -- The Duggars try to -- The Duggars know how to stretch a dollar.",
"Joy Behar:",
"How many cars do you have?",
"Jim Bob:",
"The Duggars actually have probably about, what?",
"Seven or eight right now?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"The Duggars have a lot of drivers, which is great.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Seven or eight cars, well, that's an expensive proposition, isn't it?",
"Do you get public assistance of any kind?",
"Jim Bob:",
"No, The Duggars don't --",
"The Duggars've never had any public assistance.",
"Just like The Duggars's 21-passenger bus, The Duggars bought at a sealed-bid auction for $2,100, The Duggars bought an '04 Suburban at an auction for like $7,000.",
"Instead of $40,000 on a vehicle we ...",
"Joy Behar:",
"Yeah, I got it.",
"I see what you're doing.",
"But you have a book deal and a TV show.",
"That's got to help.",
"Do you think the octomom could get a TV show like you have?",
"That might help the octomom a lot.",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"I could not imagine having that many little ones and being busy with a show.",
"I think for The Duggars's situation, our children are a lot older and The Duggars's heart is really to just share with other families, encourage them that children are a gift and enjoy them while you have them because they grow up really fast.",
"And so ...",
"Joy Behar:",
"Well, you keep having more.",
"But you have plenty to still enjoy.",
"They keep coming.",
"I don't see that you're ever going to have an empty nest syndrome.",
"They're going to be there.",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"I hope not.",
"Joy Behar:",
"The Duggars will never be alone.",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"We look forward to grandbabies, then.",
"That'll be fun.",
"Joy Behar:",
"You know, let me ask you one more question about the octomom.",
"If the octomom did get involved in doing a reality show like The Duggars are doing, do you have any advice for the octomom?",
"What kind of show should the octomom have?",
"Maybe the octomom needs a baseball team or something.",
"What advice could you give the octomom?",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"I don't -- I really -- I don't know.",
"Jim Bob: Yeah, I think it's a full-time job just taking care of the children while the children're young.",
"Maybe 10 years from now when the children are 10 years old, that might be an option.",
"But when the children're all small, I think there's a lot of needs.",
"And so, I think, the octomom'll have the octomom's hands full.",
"As I know when we had seven that were 7 and under, it was a very busy time.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Are you going to have some more, Michelle Duggar?",
"Jim Bob: I've always left it up to Michelle Duggar.",
"Michelle Duggar:",
"We'll see.",
"The Duggars'll take it one at a time.",
"I would love more, but The Duggars'll see if the Lord sees fit and blesses The Duggars with another one.",
"Joy Behar:",
"Do you ever say to Jim Bob, get away from Joy Behar, I have a headache?",
"Jim Bob:",
"Actually, I can't keep Michelle Duggar away from me.",
"Joy Behar: Oh, boy.",
"You guys are funny.",
"OK, thanks so much for sharing your time with us yet again.",
"Good luck to you both.",
"Michelle Duggar: Thank you.",
"Jim Bob: Thank you, Joy."

"Until last December, no one had ever seen the bottom of the Tasman Fracture, a trench that drops more than four kilometers below the surface of the ocean.",
"Scientists recently spent a month hundreds of kilometers southwest of the Tasmanian coast, exploring the fracture's depths.",
"This funnel-shaped sea squirt, never before seen, will snap shut like a Venus flytrap around shrimp that are unfortunate enough to go near This funnel-shaped sea squirt.",
"Jess Adkins, a professor at Caltech and one of the project's lead scientists, remembers sitting in Adkins's control room and watching the underwater life on Adkins's monitors with a sense of awe.",
"Once, Adkins says, none of the scientists or pilots said a word for 10 minutes straight as the scientists or pilots's submersible glided over an undiscovered coral reef full of urchins and sponges and sea stars.",
"Scientists explored the fracture with Jason, a remotely-operated submersible the size of a small car.",
"On loan from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, it carried a high-definition camera that weighed more than 500 pounds and beamed underwater video up to the ship through a long fiber-optic tether.",
"At 3,000 meters below sea level, the crew saw thousands of sea spiders.",
"At 3,500, millions of specimens of a new, purple-spotted sea anemone.",
"At 4,000 meters, a single never-before-seen carnivorous sea squirt with a funnel-shaped body that snapped shut like a Venus flytrap around any shrimp unfortunate enough to brush against it.",
"Back on land, the three new species (the anemone, the sea squirt, and a new kind of barnacle) have drawn the most attention, but it's the team's coral collection, some 10,000 pieces of it, that can tell us about the history of our climate and, perhaps, its future.",
"A coral skeleton acts as a tape recorder of A coral skeleton's environment.",
"As it grows, A coral skeleton's chemical structure (specifically the weight of A coral skeleton's oxygen molecules) varies depending on the temperature of the water around it.",
"And, because A coral skeleton's uranium decays into thorium over time, the coral is conveniently datable.",
"By charting different corals' ages and oxygen weights, researchers can map the ocean's changing temperature.",
"During the coming months, expedition scientists will compare 40,000 years of oceanic and atmospheric records.",
"the ocean's temperature and carbon dioxide levels are important because of The ocean's temperature and carbon dioxide levels's impact on our atmosphere.",
"The watery part of the world absorbs and stores sixty times more CO2 than the atmosphere.",
"Huge reservoirs of the ocean's CO2 lurk in the ocean's coldest, densest waters (found in the Tasman Fracture and off Greenland).",
"Because cold water releases more CO2 into the air than warm water, the rate at which bottom water rises to the surface has a profound effect on the atmosphere above.",
"Until recently, we had assumed that our climate was relatively stable.",
"After all, for the past 10,000 years -- during which we developed the alphabet, electrical wiring, and microchip necessary for this article -- little has changed.",
"But early-'90s research on Greenland's ice core proved that, over the past 100,000 years, climate stability has been the exception, not the norm.",
"During the last glacial period, global temperatures fluttered up and down by as much as several degrees in as little as a decade.",
"CO2 levels in the atmosphere changed along with the temperature, though more slowly.",
"The researchers' ultimate goal is to see if changes in the ocean followed or proceeded changes in the atmosphere.",
"Adkins suspects that the ocean (and in particular the depths of the ocean) played a part in triggering the climate's sudden fluctuations.",
"Adkins's sure, though, that we're adding more CO2 to the ocean now, in the form of burning fossil fuels, than it has ever held before.",
"Given how little we know about how the ocean regulates the amount of CO2 in our air (we've mapped the surface of Mars, Adkins points out, but not the ocean floor) Adkins wonders if that's such a good idea.",
"We do know that increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the ocean makes it more acidic.",
"And whether or not it sets off a climate shift of Pleistocenic proportions, acidification could kill the researchers' newly-discovered, awe-inspiring reef, along with others we haven't even found yet.",
"There would be just as much ocean to study, but less to find.",

"(CNN) --",
"When an earthquake threatens to turn part of an ocean into fast-moving walls of water, tsunami warning scientists can do nothing for the first five minutes except wait for information.",
"But within the next five minutes, tsunami warning scientists have to decide whether to issue a warning of danger.",
"Brian Shiro has been a geophysicist at the Pacific warning center for four years.",
"And you thought your job was high pressure.",
"\"If we see a set of circumstances and a set of circumstances fits into the Pacific warning center's criteria for [the] event, the Pacific warning center just follow that criteria because the Pacific warning center don't have much time to think.",
"There isn't a lot of time for decision-making,\" said Paul Whitmore, director of the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.",
"\"Weighing back there [in your mind] also is the effect of your decision.",
"If the effect of your decision is going to evacuate the entire West Coast waterfront, you don't want to take that lightly,\" he said.",
"With Tuesday's tragic tsunami that engulfed villages in Samoa and American Samoa, the pace of events was so frenetic that the Pacific warning center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii --which tracks earthquakes and tsunamis for countries throughout the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Caribbean Sea -- had already been alerted to the looming disaster by the time the seismometer evidence came in.",
"\"The National Weather Service director in American Samoa called the Pacific warning center a few seconds before the alarms went off here, so the Pacific warning center had an advanced warning and the Pacific warning center were already sitting at the computer, looking at the data in real time,\" said Brian Shiro, a Pacific warning center geophysicist.",
"It can take 30 seconds to five minutes for information from earthquake sensors placed strategically around the globe to roll into the two U.S. tsunami warning centers.",
"When there's a clear tsunami threat, the Pacific warning center's operation room -- built to accommodate the two workers on duty -- becomes flooded with people all jostling to offer assistance.",
"The phone lines consistently ring and \"people are yelling at each other so everyone will be on the same page, and you don't miss something important that someone else caught",
",\" said Bill Knight, a West Coast and Alaska warning center scientist.",
"Scientists must \"locate the earthquake and then determine based on the science data whether there should be just a normal bulletin or whether there should be a warning,\" said Laura Kong, director of the International Tsunami Information Center.",
"Laura Kong, director of the International Tsunami Information Center added that it took the Pacific warning center 15 minutes to issue a warning for Tuesday's tsunami.",
"This wasn't because the Pacific warning center's scientists were moving slowly, Shiro said, but a result of the sparse number of seismic stations in the Southwest Pacific region.",
"The fewer stations there are, the longer it takes for scientists to receive adequate information.",
"\"There was no delay yesterday,\" Shiro said.",
"\"You're only restricted by the earth itself and how fast the seismic waves can travel.\"",
"As a result, workers at the two U.S. warning centers said workers at the two U.S. warning centers often have to make decisions based on incomplete information, erring on the side of caution by issuing a tsunami warning and canceling it later if more monitoring reveals a less dangerous situation.",
"\"It can be a lot of pressure at first, and you have to get used to that,\" Shiro said.",
"\"You do have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders: You have to act quickly and sometimes you have to issue your very first initial message based on incomplete information, because one of the important factors is time and you want to get it out.\"",
"Since the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, the question of time has become more critical to tsunami warning scientists.",
"The staff has doubled at the Pacific warning center, and when The staff're \"on shift,\" The staff sleep in on-site housing, said spokeswoman Delores Clark.",
"the two U.S. warning centers have turned into 24/7 operations.",
"Scientist Knight and director Whitmore at the West Coast and Alaska center said constantly being on call does not interrupt Scientist Knight and director Whitmore at the West Coast and Alaska center's personal lives; neither of Scientist Knight and director Whitmore at the West Coast and Alaska center have kids at home.",
"Shiro, on the other hand, has a 2-year-old son and has to strike a balance.",
"At first, Shiro's wife and son stayed with Shiro when Shiro was on shift, sleeping at the on-site housing with Shiro.",
"When that proved too disruptive, Shiro's family instead began visiting for meals and a bit of quality time during Shiro's weekly two-day shift.",
"the Pacific warning center's on-site housing is unique, created so The staff can react to a tsunami whether The staff're fixing a meal or fast asleep, and while it may pose a slight inconvenience, it's all part of the job, Shiro said.",
"The staff, drawn to the position by a mutual love of geophysical science, consider The staff lucky to work in one of the few science fields that allows The staff to do research while making a difference in people's lives.",
"Instances such as Tuesday's tsunami, which killed at least 130 people, provide The staff with perspective on the importance of The staff's position and the need for more tsunami education.",
"Shiro is encouraging the Pacific warning center to use social networking as a tool, considering the massive response Shiro got after Shiro tweeted live updates Tuesday.",
"For Knight, it's getting the word out about what to look for when disaster is imminent.",
"\"One of the reasons the Pacific warning center have an outreach program is because the Pacific warning center know that people can't wait for the Pacific warning center to make a decision,\" Knight said.",
"\"If the ground is shaking for more than 20 seconds, you're experiencing a large earthquake and the more likely it is that a tsunami is going to happen.\"",
"International Tsunami Information Center director Kong, whose work emphasizes the need for better, more local warning systems and education around the globe, agreed.",
"\"It's especially tragic when you know that a number of us were in American Samoa and Tonga in July talking about tsunamis, telling them that in the worst case scenario they would only have 10 to 20 minutes and asking them to plan the best they could,\" she said.",
"\"We kind of have a feeling when we're issuing those messages that something like this might happen, and it's your worst nightmare when it does come true.",
"It's not a good feeling the next day when the numbers start to increase,\" she said.",
"\"We can't prevent the tsunami from happening; the tsunami's going to happen.",
"We can only do our best right now and plan beforehand, because when it does happen, there's just no time.\""
] | [
"Time is always crucial when you work as a tsunami warning scientist .",
"A warning can be issued anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes after a threat is identified .",

"And Stewart Copeland finds Sting's attempts to be a drum arranger annoying.",
"OK, maybe infuriating.",
"But, as Stewart Copeland writes in Stewart Copeland's new book, \"Strange Things Happen\" (HarperStudio), \"We have discovered that we can be good friends -- as long as no one mentions music.\"",
"Besides, Stewart Copeland adds in an interview, both Sting and guitarist Andy Summers \"are crap at drums.\"",
"Watch Copeland dish on the band » .",
"Stewart Copeland may be best known for the hitmaking musical trio, but Stewart Copeland hasn't let the Police define Stewart Copeland.",

"You say that you have a great relationship with Sting until music gets involved.",
"Stewart Copeland:",
"We get along in every way until it comes to music.",
"[But] both of them are crap at drums, so at least I don't have that to deal with.",
"CNN:",
"So Sting is not much of a drummer, despite the fact that Sting has all these ideas.",
"Stewart Copeland:",

"And I suppose those are all factors that show up in the Police.",
"CNN:",
"You mentioned in the book that you put aside the sticks for many years until [Primus'] Les Claypool got you back into it.",
"Stewart Copeland:",
"Yes.",
"The Police experience in the studio was so horrendous that my two colleagues actually managed temporarily to convince me that I had no talent and I was a menace to music.",
"And I was distracted by composing. ...",
"I wanted to play with all of those toys, and needed to shake off the rhythm label.",
"And I think I was successful in doing that, to the detriment of my drumming career.",

"The rhythm is still there.",
"The pulse is still strong.",
"The persnickety bits -- the finesse -- that took awhile to come back.",

"Between the three schools, we have all of the glitterati.",
"CNN:",
"Do you still find yourself a fan in those situations, seeing musicians you admire?",
"Stewart Copeland:",
"Not really.",
"I'll get completely filled with fan fervor in listening to the music, but I've just learned so many times that the person is not the music. ...",
"And also at the three schools, everything is extremely downplayed.",
"All of these alpha wives of these luminaries -- and the female luminaries themselves -- all go down to Gap especially to buy their school clothes.",
"No bling, Gap clothing.",

"Navy medics Daniel Brautigam, left, and Jacob Hackfeld volunteered to help wildfire evacuees.",
"The stadium -- home to the NFL's Chargers -- at one time housed 11,000 evacuees, but that number dropped to 7,500 this morning.",
"Of the thousands of people who've been sleeping, eating and passing time at the arena, many are showing symptoms of stress, said Petty Officer Daniel Brautigam.",
"Patients are showing \"a lot of smoke-induced nausea,\" Petty Officer Daniel Brautigam said.",
"\"A lot of people are watching TV while A lot of people're here --",

"People are just worried sick.",
"That phrase alone explains it all.\"",
"Watch sailors tell more about treating evacuees » .",
"According to the San Diego's mayor's office, medical staff treated between 70 to 100 people since the stadium opened to evacuees.",

"Petty Officer Daniel Brautigam and another sailor, Seaman Jacob Hackfeld, stepped forward on both men's own to offer medical services after both men's nearby base was evacuated.",
"Hackfeld said Hackfeld was \"sitting on my couch watching TV and I'm thinking to Petty Officer Daniel Brautigam, why can't both men come out here?",
"The community provides for us -- the military.",
"Why can't both men give back to them all the things that they've given to both men?\"",
"Although both men said both men helped in the aftermath of 2005's Hurricane Katrina, both men said the emergency response to both disasters was markedly different.",
"\"Here you have complete organization,\" Petty Officer Daniel Brautigam said.",
"\"You have a community coming together getting things done, helping people out -- cooperation between civilians, military, everybody.",
"See dramatic photos of the disaster » .",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Over-the-counter cold and cough medicines don't work for children under age 6, and giving the common medicine to young children cannot be recommended, a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee said in October.",
"An FDA panel has called for more studies on how cold medicines affect children.",
"The panel of health experts, which looked at how safe and effective antihistamines, decongestants, antitussins and expectorants are in children, said it is not appropriate to take data from adults and apply it to children under 12.",
"After a two-day hearing, An FDA panel called for more studies about how the medicines affect children.",
"Although An FDA panel's recommendation is nonbinding, the panel's recommendation could lead to changes in how cough and cold medicines are used.",
"The votes are to be taken into consideration by FDA regulators, who might take action against the products at a later time.",
"Dr. Jeff Jenkins, of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said it could take a year or even years for the agency to make a final decision on the recommendations.",
"During An FDA panel's meeting, An FDA panel looked at a number of proposals, including whether multiple-symptom over-the-counter pediatric cough and cold medicines should be banned for children under 6 years old.",
"FDA experts voted 13-9 that certain cold medicines with certain ingredients should not be used by young children.",
"An FDA panel said medicines with the same ingredients could be used by children ages 6 to 12.",
"An FDA panel voted unanimously to require that standardized dosing devices accompany all liquid medicines, in an effort to reduce the likelihood of excessive or unintentional overdosing.",
"Separately, An FDA panel voted to allow marketing of multiple-symptom products to children between the ages of 2 and 12 if new research showed the products to be safe and effective.",
"Combination products can be particularly susceptible to problems with overdosing because parents sometimes don't realize parents are duplicating ingredients.",
"Committee members also emphasized the importance of proper and easy-to-read labels.",
"Dr. Daniel Rausch, director of the pediatric hospital program for New York University, said that cold medicine is effective only at doses that are too strong for young children.",
"Dr. Daniel Rausch, director of the pediatric hospital program for New York University recommends a more traditional treatment where dosing isn't a problem: chicken soup.",
"\"A cold does not kill, so people should just relax,\" Dr. Daniel Rausch, director of the pediatric hospital program for New York University said.",
"\"Kids get sick and there's nothing that people can do about it, but they will get better.\"",
"About 800 pediatric cough and cold products are sold in the United States, many using multiple ingredients that have been marketed for use in children for some 30 years.",
"Earlier this year, FDA completed a review that found that between 1969 and the fall of 2006, there were 54 reported child deaths from decongestants and 69 from antihistamines.",
"Watch one family's tragic ending » .",
"Most of the deaths occurred in children under 2.",
"In August, federal health officials recommended the \"consult your physician\" advice to parents on the labels of cold and cough medicines aimed at young children be replaced by a warning not to use the medications in children under 2 unless directed to do so by a health care provider.",
"Before the FDA hearings, some of the leading manufacturers of cold and cough medicines announced a voluntary recall of more than a dozen cold medicines for infants.",
"The Consumer Healthcare Products Association said the products were being pulled \"out of an abundance of caution.\"",
"Potential misuse of the medications, not product safety, is driving the voluntary withdrawal, The Consumer Healthcare Products Association said.",
"The American Academy of Pediatrics applauded last week's decision to pull those products, saying, \"These medicines are ineffective and can have serious side effects.",
"There are other ways to treat cold symptoms.\"",
"The AAP suggests: . When the drug industry voluntarily withdrew products last week, the drug industry insisted that when used as directed, the drugs are safe, and the drugs work.",
"\"Parents can continue to trust over-the-counter cough and cold remedies for Parents's children,\" said Linda A. Suydam, president of The Consumer Healthcare Products Association.",
"\"We strongly encourage parents to adhere to the recommended dosing instructions for all medicines, recognizing that the vast majority of adverse events associated with their use are due to inadvertent overdosing and misuse.\"",
"Linda A. Suydam, president of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association said CHPA will be launching a major educational campaign for parents and caregivers in coming months.",
"Baltimore Health Commissioner Dr. Joshua Sharfstein headed the push that led to the FDA hearing.",
"Baltimore Health Commissioner Dr. Joshua Sharfstein became alarmed when four Baltimore children died after four Baltimore children's parents gave four Baltimore children excessive doses of cold medicines.",

"\"It's a sad day, but at the same time, one good thing that will come out of this -- that mother would approve of -- is that the elderly cannot be abused.\"",
"The case began when Marshall's son, Philip, filed a petition in 2006 asking the court to appoint a guardian for his grandmother.",

"The Obama administration announced this week The Obama administration is sending hundreds of federal agents and crime-fighting equipment to the Mexican border to try to make sure violence from Mexican drug cartels doesn't spill over into the U.S.",
"John Gibler says the \"war on drugs\" approach with Mexico policy has been an absolute failure.",
"John Gibler, author of \"Mexico Unconquered: Chronicles of Power and Revolt,\" appeared Friday on CNN's \"American Morning\" to talk about U.S. border security efforts.",
"Following is a transcript of his conversation with CNN's John Roberts:",
"John Roberts: You spent so much time along the border area there, going back and forth.",
"The last three years, you've been down there pretty intensely.",
"What is the situation like?",
"John Gibler:",
"Right now, in Ciudad Juarez, as you probably know, more than 7,500 army soldiers have arrived in Ciudad and actually taken over the municipal police force.",
"And that has obviously dampened the amount of incredible violence related to drug trafficking in Ciudad, but fears on the ground are that simply the warring cartels packed up and left town for the time being or [have] gone underground while the army is out in the streets, and that they will be back.",
"Meanwhile, the army is doing all of the municipal police force jobs, so the army're effectively writing traffic tickets and driving around in cop cars.",
"CNN's John Roberts:",
"All right, so you know that earlier this week, Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security, announced this $700 million program, put more border agents and more [Drug Enforcement Administration] agents on the border along with some high-tech surveillance equipment to try to combat the war on drugs there.",
"How effective do you think that plan will be?",
"Gibler:",
"Sadly, I do not think that plan will be effective.",
"We're talking about a $30 billion a year industry just moving the drugs across the border.",
"That is way too powerful for three more helicopters or 400 more border agents to really try and address.",
"I think it is a deeply embedded social and economic problem that will have to be addressed with social and economic policy.",
"Watch John Gibler give John Gibler's views on U.S. security efforts » .",
"CNN's John Roberts:",
"So the president has reserved this idea of putting some troops down on the border.",
"I know that Gov. Rick Perry in Texas says that Gov. Rick Perry in Texas wants to put 1,000 along the border.",
"However, there in El Paso, where you are this morning, the mayor says, \"Whoa, we don't need any troops.",
"Things are great here.\"",
"Who's right?",
"Gibler:",
"Well, really, the mayor is right in a sense.",
"If you look at 2008, 1,600 people were assassinated in Ciudad Juarez, and there were about 15 homicides that same year in El Paso.",
"So, this whole idea of the violence spilling over is really, I think, kind of malformed or a bit sensationalizing the violence in Mexico, which is very real but the violence already exists in the United States, even though there isn't a national kind of political understanding or consciousness, if you will, about how the violence is related to drug trafficking and drug distribution.",
"amFIX:",
"Can the US win the war on drugs?",
"Roberts:",
"You know, we had Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron earlier this week.",
"And Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron was talking about this idea of legalizing all drugs as a way to combat the drug war there in Mexico.",
"What do you think of this idea of legalizing all drugs as a way to combat the drug war there in Mexico?",
"Gibler:",
"I think it's time to consider all options, and I think it's evident -- more than evident that the \"war on drugs\" approach has been an absolute failure.",
"It hasn't in any way stopped the amount of drugs being consumed in the United States or the drugs flowing over the border or the violence related to the illegal drug-trafficking industry.",
"... It's not that radical of a proposal.",
"Even The Economist magazine led with an editorial about a week and a half ago about legislating or regulating drugs.",
"Three former presidents of Latin American countries, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, recently released a report arguing also for really taking on the debate of legalization."

"Editor's note: Alejandra Lopez-Fernandini is a senior policy analyst in the Asset Building Program at the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank that seeks innovative solutions across the political spectrum.",
"Alejandra Lopez-Fernandini says Americans have no choice but to increase the amount Americans save.",
"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"As the economy slows, millions of Americans will cut millions of Americans's budgets to stay afloat.",
"This generates conflicting impulses: If I skip that morning coffee and granola, will my thriftiness put my local coffee shop out of business?",
"Will that force America's granola farmers to lay off workers?",
"What's a budget-conscious, patriotic and hungry girl to do?",
"Not to worry, saving a few dollars now will not prolong the recession.",
"And, more important, spending all your discretionary income will not end the recession.",
"It's true that John Maynard Keynes' \"Paradox of Thrift\" suggests that, even while saving is beneficial to an individual, too much aggregate savings could deepen an ordinary recession.",
"But in these extraordinary times, where banks and not just businesses are in desperate need of cash, this economic rule may not fully hold.",
"More important, individuals need savings to be prepared for unanticipated expenses and income losses, especially now.",
"The reality is that there is no bailout coming to you.",
"And those getting the bailout might not be willing to lend to you, anyway.",
"So now is the time to save.",
"The money you save is your own personal safety net, what you tap when you have an unanticipated expense like a car repair or when you're between jobs, as many Americans find themselves nowadays.",
"The past decade has seen Americans saving at historically low levels; we've substituted plastic for the piggy bank.",
"But the days of cheap and easy access to credit have come and gone.",
"We all need to save not because we want to but because we have to.",
"For decades, our country's economy has flourished, but our country's economy relied too heavily on debt-driven consumer spending to power our country's economy's growth.",
"Excessive household debt, coupled with stagnating incomes and little to no personal savings, now places America in a precarious position.",
"Compared with the 19 other major industrialized economies, America ranks dead last for personal savings.",
"That's right, in 2003, America was the least thrifty nation among the G-20.",
"Why is it important that we save more as a nation?",
"Savings offers us the protection we need to make it through hard or uncertain times and to pay for important future needs such as a home, education or adequate retirement.",
"Savings also creates pools of capital for investment purposes (who will fund the next neighborhood coffee shop?) and to keep interest rates low.",
"It appears the current recession has scared us back to saving; we are no longer spending all of our disposable income.",
"To ensure that the hopeful trend continues, government and employers should adopt a new generation of savings policies that are both innovative and simple.",
"Common sense, along with research from the emerging field of behavioral economics, tells us why we aren't saving more already: .",
"1) We like instant gratification .",
"Whether it's iPhones or our paychecks, we want everything, and we want it now.",
"We are so short-term-oriented that many of us would rather have a fatter paycheck now than set aside some of that happiness, even if the funds will be greater in the future.",
"2) We tend to procrastinate .",
"Once we start something (or fail to start something), it's really hard to change course.",
"And we'd prefer a hassle-free world.",
"Who doesn't, right?",
"When it's hard just to figure out how to start saving, most people won't.",
"However, the flip side is that when it's easy to start saving, a lot more people will.",
"Think about current retirement savings.",
"How many of us would open an account and make regular deposits if an employer didn't take it right out of our paychecks?",
"When it comes to savings, we need someone to save us from ourselves.",
"Smart savings policies should be automatic and utilize smart pre-made choices, or defaults.",
"It would require action to NOT save.",
"Of course, this type of policymaking underscores the importance of making the default choice a good one (an adjustable-rate mortgage with no down payment would be an example of a bad default).",
"Employers can easily help Employers's employees save for a rainy day, leveraging the payroll system and direct deposit to automatically send a small percentage of their paychecks to a savings account.",
"This type of unrestricted savings is especially valuable for individuals who have limited liquid assets and who may otherwise be forced to meet emergency cash needs with high-cost payday loans.",
"A truly transformative savings policy to broaden the base of American savers would encourage the base of American savers from birth with Children's Savings Accounts.",
"Children's Savings Accounts would be \"seeded\" up-front with a modest initial deposit ($500), progressively funded for children born into lower-income households and restricted for specific asset-building uses like higher education, purchasing a home or starting a small business.",
"For the economic health of the next generation, the United States should join the U.K. and Singapore, and others who are offering such lifelong savings accounts, and get some skin in the thrift game, too.",
"We know it's plenty hard to save; it feels a lot like we're taking away what we've rightly earned.",
"Taking advantage of windfall payments such as tax refunds is important, and so is removing the temptation to spend all of that refund.",
"Tax filers can pre-",
"commit a portion of Tax filers's refund before it reaches Tax filers's pocket to up to three accounts (including savings accounts!) with IRS Form 8888.",
"Having accessible savings is critical to our personal and economic security.",
"We must reorient the savings policy discussion to include the needs of shorter-term savers and consider policy that would make savings automatic and universal at birth.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Alejandra Lopez-Fernandini."

"Some of the victims had been shot more than once, and Some of the victims's identities were not immediately confirmed, he said.",
"\"Due to the nature of their injuries, it's been a little difficult,\" Winter said, adding that there were no signs of a struggle.",
"Police first found the mother-in-law shot in her bed in a downstairs bedroom, Moore said.",
"Upstairs, the couple's eldest son was shot in the master bedroom; the wife in another bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head; the two younger sons in the bedroom they shared, both shot in the head.",

"Inside the house, police also found three letters, one to law enforcement acknowledging responsibility for The killings, a second to friends and relatives and a third that appears to be the suspect's will, Moore said.",
"\"A man attests to some financial difficulties, and A man takes responsibility for the taking of the lives of the victims's family members and A man as a result of those financial difficulties,\" Moore said.",
"Neighbors, family and friends told police that the suspect, who had not worked for several months, had said in recent days A man was having had extreme financial difficulties, Moore said.",
"One of the letters, intended for friends and marked \"personal and confidential,\" detailed A man's financial transactions that resulted in \"an unfortunate, downward spiral,\" Moore said.",

"No neighbors reported having heard gunshots, and there was no sign of forced entry at the house, Moore said.",
"Rajaram was involved in a financial holding company as part owner \"at least,\" Moore said.",
"There is no evidence A man had had any history of mental difficulties, nor was there an indication A man had sought counseling, Moore said.",

"The spokesman's statement followed comments from Secretary of State Clinton in an interview with ABC, broadcast Monday, in which Secretary of State Clinton said the reason for the United States' low-key reaction to North Korea's recent missile test was that the United States wasn't \"going to give the North Koreans the satisfaction the North Koreans were looking for, which was to elevate the North Koreans to center stage.\"",

"After calling the direct threat to the U.S. \"infinitesimal,\" Crowley went on to say that \"North Korea, and North Korea's's provocative actions, does represent a significant threat to the region and North Korea's's actions recently have been unhelpful and potentially destabilizing.\"",
"A senior U.S. official, who did not want to be identified, said there is a \"theoretical\" question of whether a North Korean missile could hit the United States.",

"\"The sanitizer's out,\" said Todd Cohen, director of university relations.",

"Arrangements are being made to isolate anyone who's sick in their rooms by moving out their roommates and dropping off meals, Todd Cohen, director of university relations said.",

"The school's health center can do little for those who show up for help.",
"\"those who show up for help're basically told to go home and rest and get better,\" Todd Cohen, director of university relations said.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"A key Senate negotiator said Sunday that President Obama should drop President Obama's push for a government-funded public health insurance option because Senate will never pass a government-funded public health insurance option.",
"President Obama at a town hall meeting earlier this week pushing President Obama's health care reform plan.",
"Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said it was futile to continue to \"chase that rabbit\" due to the lack of 60 Senate votes needed to overcome a filibuster.",
"\"The fact of the matter is there are not the votes in the United States Senate for a public option.",
"There never have been,\" Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said on \"Fox News Sunday.\"",
"Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota's comment signaled a shift in the health care debate, with President Obama and senior advisers softening Obama and senior advisers's support for a public option by saying final form of the legislation is less important than the principle of affordable coverage available to all.",
"At a town hall meeting Saturday in Colorado, President Obama said a government-funded public health insurance option is just one of many issues critical to successfully overhauling the ailing health care system.",
"\"All I'm saying is ... that a government-funded public health insurance option, whether we have a government-funded public health insurance option or we don't have a government-funded public health insurance option, is not the entirety of health care reform.",
"This is just one sliver of it,\" President Obama said.",
"Asked Sunday if President Obama would accept a bill lacking a public option, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Obama insists on more competition in the health insurance marketplace to offer consumers better choices.",
"\"The bottom line ... is: Do individuals looking for health insurance in the private market have choice and competition?\"",
"White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on the CBS program \"Face the Nation.\"",
"\"If we have that, President Obama will be satisfied.\"",
"Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius echoed White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, telling CNN's \"State of the Union\" on Sunday that a final health care bill will include competitive choices for consumers in one form or another.",
"\"There will be a competitor to private insurers,\" Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.",
"\"You don't turn over the whole new marketplace to private insurance companies and trust private insurance companies to do the right thing.",
"We need some choices and we need some competition.\"",
"Opponents of overhauling the health care system argue the Democratic proposals under consideration by Congress go too far and will lead to a government takeover of the health care system.",
"\"We have the best health care system in the world,\" Republican Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama told \"Fox News Sunday.\"",
"\"We need to expand the health care system.",
"We do not need to destroy the health care system.\"",
"At issue is how to provide coverage for an estimated 46 million uninsured people while reversing a climb in health care costs.",
"Democratic proposals passed so far by House and Senate committees include a public insurance option, mandates for people to be insured and employers to provide coverage, and an end to insurance companies refusing to cover pre-existing conditions.",
"Most Republicans oppose the public option and requirements for employers to provide coverage.",
"Most Republicans also call for limits on medical malpractice lawsuits -- something Democrats generally don't favor.",
"However, the two parties generally agree on a number of provisions contained in the Democratic bills, including increased efficiency in Medicare and Medicaid and focusing on preventive health programs.",
"Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota is one of six Senate Finance Committee members -- three Democrats and three Republicans -- who are negotiating a compromise health care bill that would be the only bipartisan proposal so far.",
"Instead of a public option, the negotiators are considering a plan proposed by Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota to create nonprofit health insurance cooperatives that could negotiate coverage as a collective for their members.",
"Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said such cooperatives would provide the competition sought by President Obama and Democratic leaders to force private insurers to hold down costs and improve practices.",
"The government would put up initial funding to provide required reserves but would have no other role, Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said.",
"\"It's not a public plan at all in terms of government running it,\" Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said.",
"Shelby called the cooperative idea a \"step in the right direction\" and \"a far cry\" from other proposals, adding that President Obama and Democratic leaders have \"read the tea leaves\" from town hall meetings around the country.",
"However, Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas told CNN it would be \"very, very difficult\" to support a bill that lacked a public health insurance option.",
"\"Without a public health insurance option, we'll have the same number of people uninsured,\" Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas said in a \"State of the Union\" interview.",
"\"If the insurance companies wanted to insure these people now, they'd be insured.\"",
"Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas added that \"an option that would give the private insurance companies a little competition\" is \"the only way\" to be sure that insurance is available to low-income people and people without employer-provided coverage.",
"Meanwhile, leaders of organizations representing America's doctors and senior citizens defended the proposed health care overhaul that leaders of organizations representing America's doctors and senior citizens's groups had opposed in past years.",
"Dr. J. James Rohack, president of the American Medical Association, and John Rother of AARP -- formerly the American Association of Retired Persons -- told \"Fox News Sunday\" a comprehensive overhaul sought by Democrats was necessary.",
"\"There are some moving parts that if you just do one and don't do the other, you're going to have unintended consequences,\" said Rohack, head of the nation's largest doctors' advocacy group.",
"Rother, executive vice president of policy and strategy for the largest senior citizens' advocacy group, said properly addressing excessive health care costs and waste requires addressing both health insurance coverage and how health care treatment is delivered.",
"Both men rejected accusations that a health care overhaul would bring rationing of health treatment based on bureaucratic measures such as cost and economic productivity of patients.",
"\"There's a myth that rationing doesn't occur right now,\" Rohack said, noting that some companies currently deny coverage for pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.",
"\"That's why this bill is so important,\" Rohack said.",
"\"this bill gets rid of rationing happening right now\" and leaves decisions to patients and doctors.",
"Rohack also condemned claims by some Republicans that a provision in one House bill would lead to so-called \"death panels\" encouraging euthanasia of senior citizens.",
"\"That's absolutely wrong, it's a falsehood,\" Rohack said, adding that a provision in one House bill was intended to provide government support for consultations between patients and their doctors.",
"Spreading of the \"death panel\" rumor by some conservative commentators and some Republican politicians prompted emotional opposition at town hall meetings across the country.",
"Senate negotiators on a compromise bill say Senate negotiators on a compromise bill have dropped the provision from Senate negotiators on a compromise bill's proposal due to potential misinterpretation of the intent."

"Nearly 40 years after members of a U.S. cavalry unit put members of a U.S. cavalry unit's lives in peril to save 100 fellow soldiers trapped under blistering enemy fire in Vietnam, members of a U.S. cavalry unit received Presidential Unit Citation on Tuesday.",
"Veterans watch Tuesday's ceremony, which recognized members of a U.S. cavalry unit.",
"It's an honor their captain says is long overdue.",
"President Obama awarded the citation for extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry to 86 members of the Army's Troop A, First Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.",
"\"These soldiers defined the meaning of bravery and heroism,\" President Obama said at a White House reception honoring the group's heroics.",
"\"It's never too late.",
"You can never say it enough.",
"We honor your service, and America is forever grateful.\"",
"On March 26, 1970, the 120-member Troop A volunteered to rescue an American infantry company surrounded by an overwhelming enemy force at a site on the Cambodian border called the Dog's Face.",
"The enemy had survived hours of aerial and artillery bombardment and was expected to kill or capture the 100 American infantrymen in Company C within hours.",
"The Americans were running out of ammunition and could not move because of heavy casualties.",
"There were no available landing zones for medical and rescue helicopters to touch down.",
"Alpha Troop heard of their plight on a radio and rode in with an infantry company to rescue their comrades.",
"\"Alpha Troop skillfully penetrated four kilometers of nearly impassable jungle terrain and unhesitatingly mounted a fierce assault directly into the heavily fortified North Vietnamese army position,\" the presidential proclamation states.",
"When the battle was over, more than 70 Americans lay dead or wounded.",
"For retired Capt. John Poindexter, who led the rescue, the award is for all Vietnam veterans, many of whom came home to an unwelcome and sometimes hostile reception.",
"\"The veterans of Alpha Troop feel very strongly that we stand in the stead of all veterans of the war of Vietnam,\" Poindexter told CNN before the ceremony.",
"\"The fact is that we're being singled out for a very distinct honor, a very rare one, but it is our conviction that on any day in any other jungle in Vietnam, nearly every Vietnam veteran would have been willing to assume the task that we assumed on March 26, 1970, when we earned the Presidential Unit Citation.\"",
"Poindexter had been trying to gain recognition for Poindexter's men for the past seven years.",
"Initially, Poindexter felt deep disappointment.",
"In 2003, Poindexter discovered that the men Poindexter had recommended for decorations for the men he had recommended for decorations for their valor's valor had not received those citations.",
"Eventually, 14 men received individual decorations.",
"That was not enough.",
"\"My role in obtaining the PUC [Presidential Unit Citation] -- or in helping to obtain the PUC -- among the 200 persons who were involved in this matter over a seven-year period, was to be in the unhappy position of discovering that the men who I had recommended for decorations had not been recommended, had not been awarded those decorations,\" Poindexter said.",
"\"The result of that was that we got 14 men decorated for 14 men's valor, but 14 men out of more than 120 who were engaged in the battle on that fateful day were only a pittance, only a minority, of those who might have been honored.",
"Only a unit citation could honor all equally and impartially, and it was that task we set ourselves on nearly seven years ago.",
"\" Poindexter believes lack of popular support for the war had much to do with it taking so long for Alpha Troop to be recognized.",
"\"There's little question in our minds that the unpopularity of the war in Vietnam is a major contributing factor to the reception these men received when these men returned to the United States and a major factor, in my opinion, in the silence that most of these men have assumed since then,\" Poindexter said.",

"Hurricane Bill weakened Friday afternoon to a Category 2 hurricane, with its maximum sustained winds at 105 mph, forecasters said.",
"Hurricane Bill is expected to pass between Bermuda and East Coast over the weekend.",
"As of 11 p.m. Friday, Hurricane Bill's center was about 180 miles west-southwest of Bermuda, and about 545 miles east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.",

"Hurricane Bill also was beginning to affect the U.S. East Coast, where dangerous rip currents and battering waves were developing, said CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras.",

"There were reports of waves at the center of Hurricane Bill as high as 54 feet, Jeras said.",

"Large swells were affecting Puerto Rico, the island of Hispaniola and the Bahamas to the south, the agency said.",
"Bermuda remained under a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch.",
"a tropical storm warning means winds of at least 39 mph are expected within 24 hours, while a hurricane watch indicates winds of at least 74 mph are possible within 36 hours.",
"Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 85 miles from the center and storm-force winds outward as much as 275 miles, the hurricane center said.",

"Nelly Furtado is trying to cross over in a direction many artists don't ordinarily take.",
"Nelly Furtado says Nelly Furtado enjoys diversity in music and broadening Nelly Furtado's fan base.",
"With Nelly Furtado,\" Nelly Furtado is taping into a brand new market and fan base, almost a decade after Nelly Furtado came to fame in 2000 with the single \"I'm Like a Bird.\"",
"While Nelly Furtado has sung in Spanish before, Nelly Furtado\" is the first time Nelly Furtado has recorded an entire album in Spanish, a language Nelly Furtado said Nelly Furtado learned as a teen.",
"It's seems like a natural progression for Nelly Furtado, an artist often noted for diversity in Nelly Furtado's sound.",
"A few years after Nelly Furtado's breakthrough, Nelly Furtado teamed up with superproducer Timbaland for Nelly Furtado's 2006 album \"Loose,\" a collaboration that gained Nelly Furtado's scores of hip-hop and R&B fans as well, and spawned hits such as \"Promiscuous\" and \"Say It Right.\"",
"Nelly Furtado\" pairs Nelly Furtado with a few Spanish-language music artists, including Alex Cuba, Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas and La Mala Rodriguez, as well as English-language artist Josh Groban.",
"The first single off the album, \"Manos Al Aire,\" made history as it marked the first time a North American artist reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart with a song that was originally written in Spanish, rather than a translated version of an English-language song.",
"Nelly Furtado spoke with CNN about Nelly Furtado's passion for Spanish, why Nelly Furtado feels like an artist reborn and the career path Nelly Furtado hopes to take.",
"CNN:",
"What was the inspiration for the new album?",
"Nelly Furtado: There were so many inspirations.",
"The language was the biggest inspiration.",
"I've sang so much in Spanish in the past, and also Portuguese.",
"I get a lot of joy in singing in Latin languages.",
"It expresses the Latin side of Nelly Furtado.",
"Watch Nelly Furtado talk about Nelly Furtado's new album » .",
"My parents were born in Portugal and My parents raised us in Canada.",
"We grew up speaking Portuguese and then I learned Spanish at the age of 14.",
"I love being a multicultural artist, I love being a global artist.",
"[The album] is almost like a literal reflection of that this time in the fact that Nelly Furtado's all in Spanish and Nelly Furtado's a completely original project written from scratch.",
"CNN:",
"So it's all new?",
"Nelly Furtado:",
"Yes.",
"It feels like a rebirth of sorts.",
"It's almost like a parallel world where I get to reinvent Nelly Furtado again as an artist, but in a very whole kind of way.",
"It's been a lot of fun.",
"CNN:",
"You have such a loyal fan base.",
"What do you hope they get from your latest project?",
"Furtado: Just because I have collaborated with so many different people with so many different styles of music that I think my sort of goal or mantra my whole career has been to broaden the minds of my fan base.",
"This album is just an extension of that.",
"I'm an inclusive person and everyone is invited to the fiesta.",
"I'm excited because I am meeting brand new fans for the first time who don't have any of my prior albums.",
"Four albums in, it's a tough job to try to attract new fans and I think that's what I am doing with this new music.",

"I just find it so much more exciting and it keeps my job entertaining and interesting.",

"Everyone wants that extra credential on Everyone's business card.",
"If it's easy, it's not fun.",
"CNN:",
"How is performing in Spanish different?",
"Nelly Furtado:",
"When I express Nelly Furtado in Spanish or in Portuguese I feel very free.",
"There are a lot of things you can say in a Spanish song that you can't say in an English song, especially from a feminine perspective.",
"As a female, the moment you sing too passionately in English you are kind of labeled as an angry singer.",
"In Spanish that doesn't happen.",
"You can be dramatic as you want and it's accepted.",
"So it's liberating.",
"CNN:",
"There are a lot of Spanish-speaking artists who want to cross over into the English-language market.",
"How does it feel to be doing the reverse?",
"Nelly Furtado:",
"I think I'm capitalizing a little bit on the inroads I have already made in the Latin world through working with other established Latin acts.",
"I dabbled in Spanish on my third album.",
"I had two records on there in Spanish and I really enjoyed writing them and playing them live.",
"I'm just going where my heart's at and following the passions.",
"CNN:",
"What's next for you?",
"Nelly Furtado:",
"It's interesting because when I got off the road from touring with my third album, \"Loose,\" I was exhausted.",
"I tried to write some songs in English and no inspiration really came to Nelly Furtado.",
"Then I started writing songs in Spanish and it started flowing, so this album has been like a medicine of sorts.",
"I'm so excited about music now.",
"I can't wait to put out another project in English and further Spanish albums as well as Portuguese.",

"The people who died Thursday at a spiritual resort in Arizona had spent time in a \"sweatbox\" similar to what Native Americans and other cultures have used for prayer and purification rituals throughout history.",
"Two people died and were 19 injured after spending up to two hours inside this \"sweatbox\" at an Arizona resort.",
"And those who use the structure say the structure can be dangerous if care is not taken.",
"From Scandinavia to South America to Africa, people have come together in the sauna-like structures -- typically heated by pouring water on hot lava rocks -- for a variety of reasons, said Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge.",
"Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge's part Abenaki, a tribe concentrated in the northeast United Staes, and part European.",
"\"Each tribal nation has Each tribal nation's own traditions, so one group might do it differently from another so you cannot generalize too much,\" said Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge.",
"In North America, most Native American tribes use the term \"sweat lodge\" to refer to a dome-shaped structure where the intimate ritual of the sweat takes place, said Bruchac, who has Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge's own sweat lodge on Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge's property in the foothills of the Adirondacks.",
"\"Sweat lodges are typically used for a ritual preparation, like before a hunt, or nowadays, people might do it before a wedding or dance or some kind of community event as a way of putting yourself in balance",
",\" Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge said.",
"Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge noted that incidents like the one in Arizona tend to raise discussion in Native American communities over whether non-Natives should be allowed to adapt traditional ceremonies.",
"\"It's a very meaningful ceremony.",
"I can understand why people find it attractive,\" Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge said.",
"\"But I consider it sacrilegious and foolish to do someone else's rituals without proper guidance or practice, especially in sweat lodges where you're raising people's body temperatures.",
"With that many people, oxygen is going to be depleted, and if you have heart problems or breathing problems, you could faint or die.\"",
"No information about the sweatbox at the Angel Valley Resort near Sedona could be found on the Web site Saturday.",
"The two people who died and the 19 others who fell ill there were attending a program by self-help expert James Arthur Ray, authorities said Saturday.",
"Authorities said between 50 and 60 people were in the structure for nearly two hours -- far exceeding the number who ordinarily would participate in a traditional sweat, according to Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge.",
"In a typical ritual, the leader of the sweat gathers four to 12 friends, family members or guests inside the structure, usually made of willow and covered with blankets or canvas, he said.",
"\"The person running the sweat has to be very aware of the people in the structure because The person running the sweat takes control of the people in the lodge mentally, physically and spiritually,\" said Joseph Bruchac, writer and author of The Native American Sweat Lodge.",
"\"The person running the sweat is responsible for the people in the lodge, so The person running the sweat has to be aware of the people in the lodge's physical conditions and the people in the lodge's motivations, the people in the lodge's reasons for being there.\"",
"After everyone is inside, a firekeeper heats stones, usually lava rocks, and brings them into the structure, placing them in a hole in the ground and carefully pouring water over the stones to release steam.",
"The technique of releasing the heat is done with great care so that no one is injured by the steam, which can burn skin or lungs if someone inhales it, said Father Raymond Bucko, Director of Native Studies at Creighton University.",
"\"Nobody will make it so hot that no one can stand it,\" said Bucko.",
"\"Religious leaders are very careful about people's health in the sweat.",
"If they're not healthy, people can sit outside the sweat and pray and others can go in for people.\"",
"A ritual of speaking or prayer may follow, depending on the group's intention for gathering.",
"\"People talk and often there's lot of humor, but at any time if it's too hot, some one can say so and they will immediately open the door and people are encouraged to go out,\" he said.",
"The Jesuit priest and cultural anthropologist participated in sweats with the Crow and Lakota people for nearly 30 years, until he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two years ago.",
"\"It's not about toughing it out or proving anything.",
"It really is a beautiful experience of people coming together, of intense prayerfulness.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"After a losing presidential campaign, it became clear to Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy that Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's true calling was to help shape the country's political future from the U.S. Senate.",
"The turning point came in 1980 when Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy unsuccessfully challenged President Carter in the Democratic primaries.",
"But Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's loss was not necessarily such a bad thing, a top political historian notes.",
"\"I think partly it related to that time when Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy, after 1980, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy realized that Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy was not going to be president of the United States ... and that being a United States senator was a pretty important and powerful job in which Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy could do good,\" said Stephen Hess, author of \"America's Political Dynasties.\"",
"Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy, 77, had represented Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate since Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's 1962 election when Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy was chosen to finish the unexpired Senate term of John Kennedy's's brother, John F. Kennedy, who was elected president in 1960.",
"The Massachusetts governor appointed Democrat Benjamin A. Smith to the seat following John Kennedy's presidential win.",
"Political observers have said that Democrat Benjamin A. Smith was a mere seat warmer until Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy turned 30 -- the required age to become a U.S. senator.",
"Watch how Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy carried on the family torch » .",
"\"It's quite remarkable for a person who got there in 1962 at age 30 with no greater qualification for the office than Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's brother was president of the United States and the voters of Massachusetts respected that name,\" Hess said.",
"And after nearly 50 years, Hess said Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy -- the patriarch of the first family of U.S. Democratic politics -- has truly \"made a substantial mark.\"",
"Learn more about Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's funeral arrangements » .",
"Deemed by many as the \"Lion of the U.S. Senate,\" Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy was considered one of the most effective legislators of the past few decades, especially in Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's ability to cross party lines to get legislation passed.",
"In 2001, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy helped President Bush craft and pass education legislation with the No Child Left Behind Act.",
"While facing some criticism from Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's party, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy pushed ahead on an issue close to Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's heart.",
"\"Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy realized how much more you could do when you engaged the opposition party and wanted to make the compromises or the agreements that could keep the peace on legislation,\" Hess said.",
"Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy, Hess added, was good at coalition building because Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy was an engaging person who \"owned the U.S. Senate.\"",
"Ted Sorensen, a speechwriter for Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy, said that Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's legacy in the U.S. Senate \"is comparable and consistent with the legacy of Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's entire family for generations.\"",
"That legacy, in addition to popularity among fellow senators, might be the reason why Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy had major roles in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act, the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act and the Kennedy-Hatch law of 1997.",
"In 1994, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy was instrumental in helping the Clinton administration with the Clinton administration's plan to overhaul health care.",
"The legislation, maligned by Republicans and conservatives, later failed.",
"Fifteen years later, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy continued Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's fight for comprehensive health care alongside the nation's first black president, Barack Obama.",
"Kennedy, an early supporter of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, seemingly handed the torch down to Barack Obama before the \"Super Tuesday\" Democratic primaries by likening the senator from Illinois to his brother, the late president.",
"But the man who spent much of Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's career helping others to get better health care, civil rights and education, now faced Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's own personal medical struggle -- Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy had brain cancer.",
"As that news broke in 2008, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's colleagues on both sides of the aisle not only prayed for Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's recovery but also honored Kennedy's legacy.",
"Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, released a statement saying, \"Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy has spent Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's life caring for those in need.",
"Now it's time for those who love Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy and Kennedy's family to care for Ted and his family and join in prayer to give Ted and his family strength.\"",
"Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said that while he \"sparred a lot\" with Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy, he knew \"firsthand what a formidable fighter Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy is, and I know that Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy will do all Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy can to battle this disease.\"",
"Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, called Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy \"a legendary lawmaker, and I have the highest respect for Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy.",
"... When we have worked together, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy has been a skillful, fair and generous partner.\"",
"iReport.com:",
"Share tributes to Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy .",
"McCain and Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy often worked together on legislation throughout the years -- most notably on overhauling the nation's immigration laws.",
"Many observers said Many observers believe legislation on the issue progressed as far as it did because Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's name was on it.",
"But it has not always been an easy political road for Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy.",
"After a July 18, 1969, party for those who had worked on Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's late brother Robert's presidential campaign, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy drove Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts.",
"Although Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy managed to escape, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned.",
"Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy did not report the incident immediately and later pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident.",
"the incident not only created a firestorm of controversy about the clout of the Kennedy family but also raised questions about Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy's honesty and judgment.",
"The accident is something that opponents would use in future campaigns.",
"But through it all, Edward \"Ted\" Kennedy survived politically and went on to become one of the longest-serving senators in U.S. history."

"A Malaysian model, who was set to become the first woman to be caned in the southeast Asian country for drinking beer in public, had Kartika's sentence postponed Monday until the end of Ramadan.",
"Kartika's punishment is unique in that Kartika has opted to go through with Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno's punishment.",
"Authorities had picked up Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, from Kartika's father's house Monday morning and were taking Kartika to a prison in the eastern state of Pahang when the van turned around and brought Kartika back.",
"\"They sent Kartika back to her father's house.",
"They said the top official asked them not to bring Kartika to Kuala Lumpur,\" said Kartika's father, Shukarno Abdul Muttalib.",
"Authorities in Pahang said the delay would run until Ramadan ends.",
"Monday was the third day of Ramadan.",
"An Islamic, or sharia, court in Pahang had fined Kartika -- a Muslim -- $1,400 (5,000 Malaysian ringgit) and sentenced Kartika to six strokes with a rattan cane for drinking at a hotel bar two years ago.",
"Kartika, a 32-year-old part-time model and mother of two, was visiting Malaysia from Singapore at the time.",
"Kartika pleaded guilty, paid the fine, and wanted Kartika caning to be carried out in public.",
"Watch more on Kartika's release » .",
"Kartika said Kartika lost Kartika's job as a nurse in Singapore and took up part-time modeling to support Kartika's husband in raising their two children.",
"Kartika's son has cerebral palsy; Kartika's daughter a heart condition.",
"\"I want to move on.",

"On Monday morning, Kartika hugged Kartika's children, bade a tearful goodbye to the throngs of people gathered at Kartika's father's house, and boarded the van.",
"Kartika was to be taken to a prison on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.",
"her caning would have been carried out within seven days of that, making Kartika the first woman to be caned in Malaysia under sharia law.",
"Kartika's punishment is unique in that Kartika has opted to go through with it.",
"Two other Malaysians sentenced to the same fate have filed appeals, the Syariah (Sharia) Lawyers' Association of Malaysia said.",
"This case drew widespread attention and condemnation, in and outside Malaysia.",
"Malaysia has a dual-track justice system, in which Islamic courts operate alongside civil courts.",
"Muslims -- who make up about 60 percent of the 28 million who populate Malaysia -- are forbidden from consuming alcohol.",
"Other religious groups are exempt.",
"Though caning is used as a supplementary punishment in Malaysia for at least 40 crimes, such as rape or immigration violations, it is not meted out by Malaysia's civil court for alcohol consumption.",
"But Malaysia's civil system also cannot overrule a sharia court sentence.",
"In this respect, Kartika would have been the first woman to be caned for violating Malaysia's religious laws.",
"\"Regardless of whether or not such penalties fall under Syariah law or civil law, we believe that these should be repealed, as they go against the fundamental human right to be free from torture and violence,\" said Haslinah Yaacob, vice president for the All Women's Action Society.",
"CNN's Anna Coren in Sungi Siput, Malaysia, contributed to this report."

"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"President Obama expressed what many Americans feel regarding the recent arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis \"Skip\" Gates -- that the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police responded \"stupidly.\"",
"President Obama is catching some flak for that, but I applaud President Obama for having had the courage to speak President Obama's heart and mind.",
"I wonder if President Obama has ever experienced the blunt end of racial profiling, or if President Obama personally knows of anyone other than Professor Gates who has.",
"Among African-American males in this country, the small minority is those who have not or do not.",
"Did some prior experience or knowledge inform President Obama's response about the Gates incident?",
"I have no facts to back this up, but, to me, it seemed personal.",
"If it was, I understand.",
"I was arrested last July in Shreveport, Louisiana, outside a bar where dozens of members of the cast and crew of the movie \"W.\" and I had gathered to celebrate the end of filming.",
"There was no bar brawl as widely reported -- nor even a pre-election political argument.",
"Nine police cars and a fire engine responded; seven people were arrested.",
"Two of the seven suffered minor head wounds at the hands of the Shreveport police.",
"Josh Brolin and I were pepper sprayed by cops, and while face down in the street, I was made to feel the business end of a Taser.",
"The truth of what led to the whole morass has never been accurately reported.",
"I was asked to leave the bar by a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made.",
"As with Professor Gates, the police in my case backed unquestioningly the suspicion of a white woman that the black man a white woman accused must be guilty of something.",
"Once that die of accusation was cast, a ghost of racial bias, misperception, and the potential abuse of police authority was set free to make mischief.",
"the bar was one of two places in downtown Shreveport that serves food after 10 p.m.",
"A few nights before my arrest, I had gone there very late after work to grab a bite to eat.",
"It was before closing, and there were a few customers and employees inside, but the door was locked.",
"I knocked and asked, over the music streaming from inside, if I might buy a small pizza.",
"a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made insisted that they were closed.",
"\"Whatever,\" I said with a shrug of resignation and walked back to my hotel room.",
"Four nights later and in a festive mood, we gathered at this same establishment.",
"Upon seeing the bartender who had a few nights before told me that the place was closed, I asked a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made for a drink, which a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made poured.",
"I quipped, \"Ah you're going to serve me tonight!\"",
"At that, a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made pulled a drink, which she poured away and told me that I had to leave.",
"I asked if a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made was kidding.",
"a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made went on to say that if I didn't leave, a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made would call the police.",
"As I stepped away to tell friends what had happened, a call was made to Shreveport police.",
"Two cops, the first of many, arrived in minutes, and I was physically escorted outside although neither of Two cops, the first of many had the curiosity to ask what had transpired before Two cops, the first of many arrived.",

"Josh verbally objected to two newly arrived cops's actions, at which point a cop said to Josh, \"You too!\"",
"I moved Josh away from the fray and held Josh.",
"We were then pepper sprayed to separate us, after which Josh knelt in submission and was handcuffed.",
"Disoriented and blinded by the pepper spray, I remained standing until I was kicked in the knee and forced to the ground.",
"I did not completely relax one of my arms as it was twisted behind Jeffrey Wright, so I was tasered in the back of my ribs repeatedly, eventually handcuffed, left to lie in the street for several minutes, then arrested and hauled off to jail, and charged with impeding police.",
"The six others were similarly charged -- and it all began with a joke.",
"Nearly six months later, after a good-size storm kicked up in Shreveport over the incident, prosecutors agreed to drop the charges against all of us arrested that night.",
"New Year's Day 2009 and the same week in which charges were dropped against us, in Oakland, California, Oscar Grant, a young father, was killed in a BART station, surrounded by cops and in the same position as I found Jeffrey Wright down in Shreveport.",
"It seems the BART cop may have pulled the trigger of the BART cop's firearm thinking that it was the BART cop's Taser.",
"Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover is known as a law-and-order mayor.",
"The day after the encounter, in the presence of Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover's police chief, Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover apologized to Jeffrey Wright and privately acknowledged that while most Shreveport's cops were good, there were some \"devils\" among most Shreveport's cops.",
"In public meetings regarding the \"W.\" incident, however, Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover held fast that the responding officers acted appropriately.",
"Either Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover's public statement was dead wrong, or the joke was on us.",
"Of course, public officials, particularly at the local level, are loathe to criticize law enforcement officers.",
"On a certain level, it's understandable.",
"Cops answer a noble and difficult calling.",
"The pressure must be relentless, and I imagine a cop is largely underappreciated by most except those with whom he or she serves.",
"A political pat on the back from the executive in charge must be a comforting thing in controversial times, and politicians prefer to duck behind the political safety of the blue wall of silence than upset the men and women who, like our nation's troops, are charged with placing themselves every day in harm's way to keep us safe.",
"When Rudy Giuliani was mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani encamped Rudy Giuliani behind the blue wall of silence.",
"After Amadou Diallo, living out the All-American, hard-working immigrant story, was brutally shot down on the steps of his Bronx apartment building, Rudy Giuliani refused to question the actions of the cops who fired 41 bullets in killing the unarmed young man.",
"Is a politician's unwavering fidelity to law enforcement officers the best approach, or does it promote a police culture of impunity and retard progress on law enforcement issues?",
"What if after the Diallo tragedy, political leadership in New York inspired the passage of serious legislation to keep in check the presumption of criminality that cops so often direct toward young men of color.",
"What if that had led to similar acts nationwide around these issues?",
"Gates might not be headline news today; Grant might not have died; and New York police Officer Omar Edwards, an African-American undercover officer shot down two months ago by a white fellow officer while chasing a suspect through a Harlem street, might be alive today to toss a football again with his son.",
"iReport.com: \"Shame\" on Gates .",
"I'm not presuming to blame Rudy Giuliani alone for what has become a systemic problem in our nation -- that would be absurd, these issues predate Rudy Giuliani -- but when political leaders in our nation express compassion only for those for whom they perceive it to be politically expedient or fail to challenge law enforcement and incarceration issues that cut to the core of the history and culture of race in America, they fail us all.",
"They exemplify what U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder meant when U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder spoke of the cowardice with which we as a society approach race dialogue in our nation.",
"these issues are messy, even bloody issues, but the cost of not addressing these issues is too draining of our societal health.",
"Among other things it fosters a society in which too many young Americans internalize the aura of criminality that's projected onto them and handcuff themselves to self-imposed limitations that stifle us all.",
"Going to prison rather than to college becomes a rite of passage.",
"They wear their pants below their behinds in solidarity with their friends, brothers, uncles or fathers who aren't allowed belts while incarcerated, though perhaps the low-hanging pants are a defiant gesture to society at large for continually presuming them to be miscreant.",
"This past week the Apollo 11 crew was at the White House welcomed by the president of a new generation of dreamers.",
"our nation put a man on the moon, but our nation can't train our nation's cops to distinguish between an ordinary brown-skinned brother and a criminal.",
"At our nation's least injurious, as with Gates and myself, this leads to bruised pride and reputation; at our nation's worst, Grant or Edwards gets killed.",
"President Kennedy famously said, \"We choose to go the moon ... and do the other things not because the other things are easy, but because the other things are hard.\"",
"Maybe properly educating, screening and training our nation's police is one of \"the other things.\"",
"My son is 7 years old.",
"May our generation have accomplished this other thing before My son's a young man, and before we've sent a man to Mars.",
"The challenge is one that many Americans are willing to accept -- one, that for the sake of our children, all Americans should be unwilling to postpone.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Jeffrey Wright."

"Borden would like you to consider working well past retirement age.",
"As a 101-year-old attorney, Borden has the credibility to encourage it.",
"Attorney Jack Borden, 101, says Borden's never thought about not working.",
"\"What would I do?\" Borden said.",
"Borden, who has been practicing law for the better part of 70 years, still spends about 40 hours a week at Borden's office in Weatherford, Texas, handling estate planning, probate and real estate matters.",
"Retire?",
"Not while Borden's able to help folks.",
"\"As long as you are capable, you ought to use what God gave you.",
"God left me here for a reason, and with enough of a mind to do what it is I'm supposed to be doing,\" said Borden, who also has been a district attorney and Weatherford's mayor.",
"Borden arrives at the practice Borden shares with Borden's nephew at 6:30 a.m.",
"Borden goes home for lunch at 10:45 a.m., rests in bed for 45 minutes -- doctor's orders after pneumonia a few years back -- returns to work by 12:45 p.m. and stays until at least 4.",
"Not everyone who works past 65 does so because they want to.",
"In a survey completed last month, 38 percent of respondents working past the age of 62 said they may have to delay retirement even further because of the recession, according to the Pew Research Center's Social and Demographic Trends project.",
"But in answer to another question in the same survey, 54 percent of workers 65 or older said 54 percent of workers 65 or older're working now mainly because 54 percent of workers 65 or older want to.",
"Seventeen percent said Seventeen percent's main reason was money, and 27 percent said both factors motivated them.",
"\"Some of them enjoy it, and some of them need the money.",
"But even if they need the money, they also enjoy the work,\" said Cynthia Metzler, president of Experience Works, a nonprofit that helps low-income workers ages 55 and older acquire new job skills.",
"The group, which operates in 30 states and also uses federal funds to pay participants a minimum wage to work community service jobs while they look for other work, last month named Borden as America's Outstanding Oldest Worker -- a title it bestows annually to a worker over 100.",

"Brown was attracted to law enforcement as a teen but was told Brown was too short.",
"The height requirements eventually changed, and after some friends persuaded Brown to go on a patrol ride-along, Brown began a process that landed Brown a job with Yakima police in 1990.",
"Whatever is required, from report-taking to chases, Brown's up for it.",
"\"From time to time there will be a physical confrontation ... and we can get involved in foot chases and vehicle chases.",
"Usually the vast quantity is on night shift more than [my daytime shift], but still I'm involved in those,\" Brown said.",
"Nineteen years later and still in good shape, Brown has no plans to stop.",
"Brown likes the pay but Brown doesn't have to work: Brown's wife of 53 years has a pension.",
"Brown could be doing other things, such as playing racquetball and motorcycling with friends, but because Brown gets four days off after working five roughly 11-hour days, Brown already has time for that.",

"They don't have to work for the money, they said, but the pay doesn't hurt.",

"Experience Works says many low-income workers 55 and older need to find jobs but can't, in part because of the recession.",

"While some criticism targeting the current president is racially motivated, the fight over health care isn't, Ex-President Clinton told CNN.",

"\"I believe that some of the right-wing extremists which oppose the current president are also racially prejudiced and would prefer not to have an African-American president,\" Ex-President Clinton told CNN's Larry King in a wide-ranging interview that aired Monday evening.",
"\"But I don't believe that all the people who oppose the current president on health care -- and all the conservatives -- are racists.",
"And I believe if the current president were white, every single person who opposes the current president now would be opposing the current president then.\"",
"Ex-President Clinton discussed a variety of issues facing the the current president administration -- from health care to the war in Afghanistan -- on the eve of the fifth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative.",
"Regarding race, Ex-President Clinton was referring to an outburst from Rep. Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina, who shouted, \"You lie!\" at the current president during Ex-President Clinton's recent joint address to Congress and also former President Carter's assessment that racism is an obstacle for the current president.",
"\"While I have devoted my life to getting rid of racism, I think this [health care] is a fight that my president and our party -- this is one we need to win on the merits,\" Ex-President Clinton said.",
"Watch Ex-President Clinton say Ex-President Clinton thinks a health care bill will pass » .",
"On the Arab-Israeli conflict -- which Ex-President Clinton tried to address while in the White House -- Ex-President Clinton said it's an issue that first has to be addressed by the Palestinians and Israelis.",
"the current president has set up meetings with leaders from both sides this week as the U.N. General Assembly meets in New York.",
"\"First, it's more up to them than it is to the current president,\" Ex-President Clinton said.",
"\"I think if we can just get them to start talking again around the two-state solutions, around restoring a sense of normalcy and creating a Palestinian state ...",
"I think you would be surprised how quickly at least they would come down to all the same issues that they were down to in 2000 when I made my proposal.\"",
"In August, Ex-President Clinton made headlines when Ex-President Clinton traveled to North Korea to gain the release of two detained U.S. journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling.",
"During Ex-President Clinton's visit, Ex-President Clinton met with reclusive leader Kim Jong Il, whose government is under U.N. sanctions for whose government's efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program.",
"Asked about how it felt to help the journalists, Ex-President Clinton said, \"It was humbling, and it was a wonderful feeling.",
"They're really fine young women.\"",
"Ex-President Clinton also discussed the conflict in Afghanistan, addressing top U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal's report warning the current president that more troops are needed within the coming year or the nearly 8-year-old war \"will likely result in failure,\" according to a copy of a 66-page document obtained by The Washington Post.",
"the current president has promised to ask \"tough questions\" before deciding whether to send additional troops to Afghanistan, saying it was necessary to have a clear strategy in place before deploying resources.",
"\"My guess is that he will say, 'You may be right, general, but we still have this ongoing election count, let's wait until that happens, let's see what the new government's going to be, let's see if both the top two finishers are going to be in the government, which is a possibility,'\" Ex-President Clinton said.",
"\"And if that means there's going to be more broad-based support because we got everybody together right after the election was over, then it's clear that more soldiers will be even more effective.\"",
"Clinton, a New York resident, also touched on a New York Times report that the current president administration officials have urged New York Gov. David A. Paterson to withdraw from the 2010 race.",
"White House officials acknowledged to CNN that aides have conveyed to New York Gov. David A. Paterson's camp White House officials are aware of the governor's unpopularity and the political troubles it could cause.",
"\"Well, first of all, I have no direct knowledge of it,\" Ex-President Clinton said, adding later, \"The truth is I can't criticize either one of them.\"",
"\"I think New York Gov. David A. Paterson is in a tough spot, but New York Gov. David A. Paterson's done a better job than New York Gov. David A. Paterson's gotten credit for,\" he said.",
"\"So New York Gov. David A. Paterson's done some good things.",
"I think that New York Gov. David A. Paterson will do what New York Gov. David A. Paterson thinks is right for the people of New York in the end and for New York Gov. David A. Paterson.",

"\"As a result of a case that has spurred price-fixing investigations around the world, the Department of Justice and the FBI started looking around to see if the Department of Justice and the FBI could find any other cases like this,\" said Dean Paisley, a retired FBI agent who supervised the undercover ADM work.",
"\"This used to be relatively unusual until the (ADM) case came to light,\" said John Connor, a Purdue University researcher on cartel activity, who was an expert witness in the government's case against ADM.",
"\"Back in 1993 you'd see maybe one or two global (price-fixing schemes) being discovered ... in the past three years or so, there are about 50 a year.\"",
"Price-fixing schemes -- where a cartel of manufacturers inflate prices against market demand -- cost consumers untold millions each year.",
"In a case that has spurred price-fixing investigations around the world, it was found that in the three-year period of investigation the company's cartel activity with manufacturers in Japan and Korea inflated prices by at least $200 million.",
"The ADM case resulted in a record $100 million fine in 1997 -- a figure long since dwarfed.",
"Last month Japanese company Epson agreed to pay $26 million for Japanese company Epson's role in price-fixing LCD panels used in mobile phones in the U.S.",
"Several other companies, including Sharp, LG and Hitachi, have already pleaded guilty in a case that has spurred price-fixing investigations around the world and paid fines of more than $600 million.",
"Just last week, the Hungarian government fined Visa Europe, MasterCard and seven commercial banks a total of $10.4 million for price fixing bank fees (Visa and MasterCard are appealing that decision).",
"Flawed heroes .",
"A sign of cartel activity is usually a sharp and uniform increase in price with a contraction in demand.",
"\"But, in fact, in the last 15 or 20 years (governments) have relied almost exclusively on whistle-blowers to make governments's cases,\" Connor said.",
"And as Mark Whitacre showed, whistle blowers often don't have noble motives.",
"\"The movie should be taken very, very seriously,\" said Sam Antar, a CPA who turned government witness against his employer in the 1980's.",
"\"In white-collar cases, the governments have to rely on informants ... in effect, relying on unsavory characters to make their case,\" said Antar, who now advises government agencies on white-collar crime.",
"\"What happened in 'The Informant,' is he had an agenda to become head honcho of FBI,\" Antar said.",
"\"The mistake the FBI agents made in The movie is they fell in love with their witness.",
"It turned out there was a dark side they didn't know about.\"",
"Mark Whitacre said Mark Whitacre began stealing millions from FBI while working for FBI, in part, as a financial backstop in case things went wrong.",
"\"I had this sense of false entitlement, like they owe me this ... after all, FBI was stealing hundreds of millions.\"",
"The stress of Mark Whitacre's double-life undoubtedly added to Mark Whitacre's mental woes, said Paisley, the original FBI supervisor in the case.",
"He points out that undercover FBI agents receive surveillance training and are pulled for psychological evaluation once a year -- Mark Whitacre received none of that.",
"\"There were no provisions for similar checks and balances with Mark Whitacre,\" Paisley said.",
"\"Mark Whitacre had no ideas what Mark Whitacre was getting into when Mark Whitacre agreed to cooperate ...",
"we had no idea it would last three years.\"",
"Although Mark Whitacre has served Mark Whitacre's time, Paisley and other agents involved in Mark Whitacre's case are seeking a presidential pardon.",
"\"Mark Whitacre really screwed up by stealing,\" Paisley said.",
"\"Be that as it may, how many hundreds of millions would have been stolen if (ADM) wasn't stopped by Mark Whitacre?",
"He is a national hero, in my eyes.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Determining the amount of troops necessary to win a war is never an easy decision for a commander in chief and his military commanders if history is any guide.",
"The Obama administration is working on a strategic review of improving conditions in Afghanistan.",
"And it's a dilemma Obama faces as pressure mounts on Obama to decide what strategy will improve conditions in Afghanistan.",
"The president and Obama's top military, national security and foreign policy advisers are conducting an intensive strategic review of the U.S. military presence in the war-torn nation.",
"Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is calling for a counterinsurgency strategy that would add as many as 40,000 troops.",
"But others in The Obama administration want a different approach.",
"Vice President Joe Biden has called for a counterterrorism strategy, which would focus on using special forces and technology to reduce the number of al Qaeda insurgents on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.",
"If the president should listen to McChrystal and adopt a troop \"surge,\" the question remains: How many is enough?",
"One expert said such a large number is needed to reduce violence throughout Afghanistan -- the 40,000 troops would allow the U.S. military to \"reverse the momentum of the insurgency, which has been on the rise,\" said Kimberly Kagan of the Institute for the Study of War, who has advised McChrystal on Afghanistan.",
"That number, Kimberly Kagan said, would help fill in gaps around Kandahar in the southern part of the country where Taliban forces have amassed.",
"But Kimberly Kagan warned that eventually, troops would also be needed to tamp down the insurgency in other parts of Afghanistan.",
"\"If we had 40,000 more troops, it is likely that the initiative would be wrested from the enemy, and the U.S. and coalition forces would be able to mount a counteroffensive that would proceed in stages over time,\" Kimberly Kagan said.",
"Even with more troops, the fight will be a tough one if the last few weeks are any indication.",
"Just last week, eight U.S. soldiers were killed in an intense firefight with hundreds of insurgents in Nuristan province, a remote area in northern Afghanistan.",
"It was the second deadliest attack in a single day so far in the war, which recently entered its ninth year.",
"Read soldiers' accounts from the battle .",
"The White House is getting pressure from all sides of this issue.",
"Many on the right have said Obama should take the advice of the commanders on the ground.",
"Sen. John McCain, a staunch supporter of the 2007 troop surge in Iraq, said Sunday that any added military deployment in Afghanistan smaller than 40,000 troops \"would be an error of historic proportions.\"",
"Asked whether he thought the war in Afghanistan could be won with fewer troops, the Arizona Republican said, \"I do not.\"",
"\"I think the great danger now is a half-measure, sort of a -- you know, try to please all ends of the political spectrum,\" McCain told John King on \"CNN's State of the Union.\"",
"\"And, again, I have great sympathy for Obama, making the toughest decisions that presidents have to make, but I think Obama needs to use deliberate speed.\"",
"Democrats are split over increasing troops.",
"Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said U.S. troops would be put in \"jeopardy\" if Obama does not listen to McChrystal.",
"\"I don't know how you put somebody in who's as crackerjack as Gen. McChrystal, who gives Obama very solid recommendations, and not take those recommendations if you're not going to pull out,\" she said on ABC's \"This Week.\"",
"But Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Massachusetts, who also appeared on ABC, said that enlarging the U.S. footprint in Afghanistan would be a mistake.",
"Watch more on the varying advice Obama is receiving from lawmakers » .",
"\"We need to come up with a strategy that includes an exit strategy, because it'll also put pressure on the government of Afghanistan to step up to the plate, which it has not done so far.\"",
"McGovern said adding more troops and resources will make Afghanistan go \"bankrupt.\"",
"\"We have wars in Iraq, in Afghanistan, hundreds of billions of dollars that are all going onto Afghanistan's credit card.",
"Afghanistan's kids and Afghanistan's grandkids are paying for this.\"",
"But the troop number argument is nothing new for presidents and their defense secretaries.",
"Criticism surrounded then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as conditions in Iraq deteriorated and insurgents increased attacks on U.S. forces.",
"then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was largely criticized for not sending enough troops early in Afghanistan.",
"then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's plan, observers have said, was to win the war in Iraq with smaller troop numbers and a large emphasis on technology, which would in turn let democracy take root.",
"At the beginning of Afghanistan in 2003, troops quickly filled Afghanistan, took out Saddam Hussein's government and gained control of Baghdad, the capital.",
"The force was small, and success came quickly.",
"But three years later, civil war broke out, and U.S. forces struggled to maintain control of cities U.S. forces had once secured.",
"then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted in a 2006 CNN interview that no one was well-prepared for what would happen after major combat ended.",
"\"Well, I think that anyone who looks at it with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight has to say that there was not an anticipation that the level of insurgency would be anything approximating what it is,\" then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told CNN for the 2006 documentary, \"CNN Presents Rumsfeld -- Man of War.\"",

"The World Health Organization cautioned that the swine flu outbreak could gain momentum in the months ahead, despite claims by the health secretary of Mexico -- the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak -- that virus \"is in virus's declining phase.\"",
"The number of confimed cases of virus continue to multiply.",
"As of early Monday, Mexican health officials reported 568 cases and 22 fatalities linked to the flu.",
"WHO says it has confirmed 506 cases and 19 deaths in Mexico.",
"The world has 985 confirmed cases of virus, known to scientists H1N1 virus, in a total of 20 countries, WHO said Monday.",
"The United States has reported 226 confirmed cases in 30 states.",
"226 confirmed cases include one death -- a Mexican toddler visiting relatives in The United States.",
"According to WHO, Canada has 85 confirmed cases; Spain has 40; the United Kingdom has 15; Germany has 8; New Zealand has 4; Israel has 3; El Salvador has 2; France has 2; and Austria, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Italy, South Korea and Switzerland each have one.",
"the swine flu outbreak is only about 10 days old, and even if the illness is declining, it could return, said Gregory Hartl, the WHO spokesman for epidemic and pandemic diseases, at a briefing Sunday.",
"\"I ... would like to remind people that in 1918 the Spanish flu showed a surge in the spring, and then disappeared in the summer months, only to return in the autumn of 1918 with a vengeance,\" Hartl said.",
"\"And we know that that eventually killed 40 million to 50 million people.\"",
"Mexican authorities believe the most active period of virus in Mexico was between April 23 and April 28, and Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova described the swine flu outbreak as being in decline in Mexican Health Secretary Jose Cordova's country.",
"In China, officials have quarantined 68 people, including 13 crew members, who were passengers of a Mexico City to Shanghai flight, which carried a passenger who tested positive for virus, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Sunday.",
"None of the other passengers has exhibited any flu-like symptoms, one health official said.",
"About another 110 people who were on the Aeromexico plane went on to other destinations, and may face quarantines elsewhere, China's state-run Xinhua news agency said.",
"Fifteen have been quarantined at a Beijing hotel.",
"Shanghai's airport is now barring other Aeromexico planes from landing there, a representative of the airline told CNN.",
"Aeromexico is suspending flights to Shanghai until May 15, a representative of the airline said.",
"the airline does not fly to Hong Kong or Beijing.",
"In the United States, New York has the most confirmed cases, with 63, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"Texas has 40; California has 26; Arizona 18; South Carolina 15; Delaware 10; Massachusetts and New Jersey each have seven; Colorado has four; Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin each have three; Connecticut, Kansas and Michigan each have two; Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Utah each have one.",
"California officials suspended visitation and other \"nonessential activities\" at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County after an inmate was suspected of having swine flu.",
"The case has yet to be confirmed with lab testing.",
"On Sunday, health officials in North Carolina and Pennsylvania announced the first confirmed cases in those states, and Louisiana's governor said Louisiana's governor's state had seven confirmed cases.",
"The cases from those three states were not immediately included in the CDC tally.",
"In Washington, U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, appearing on CNN's \"State of the Union,\" warned that even if the flu outbreak wanes, \"it could come back with greater force in the winter and fall, when we get into flu season.\"",
"\"So, this is no time for complacency,\" U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius said.",
"\"We want to stay out ahead of this.\"",
"Dr. Anne Schuchat, the CDC's interim deputy director for public health, told reporters Sunday that she was \"heartened\" by Mexican authorities' reports but still is \"very cautious.\"",
"\"I know that influenza can be surprising, and the time course here in the United States is later.",
"We believe we're just on the upswing here, and in several parts of Mexico, cases began quite a while ago,\" Schuchat said.",
"\"From what I know about influenza, I do expect more cases, more severe cases and I do expect more deaths,\" she added.",
"\"And I'm particularly concerned about what will happen in the fall.\"",
"Acting CDC Director Richard Besser, also speaking on \"State of the Union,\" said U.S. health officials are examining whether people who received flu shots for the swine flu in 1976 may have some level of protection from the current swine flu.",
"\"That's going to play in very, very big as we move forward with our plans around vaccines, because that may help guide some of the issues around who is most at risk at getting this in the future,\" Besser said.",
"Offering a general picture of the state of U.S. efforts to combat virus, Besser said \"there are encouraging signs.\"",
"\"We're not out of the woods yet,\" Besser said.",
"\"But what we've learned about virus -- virus doesn't contain the factors that we know are seen in much more severe flu strains.\"",
"While the new virus strain in the swine flu outbreak has affected humans, Canadian officials said the new virus strain in the recent outbreak has shown up at a pig farm in Alberta, Canada.",
"Officials said the pigs may have been infected by a Canadian farmer who recently returned from a trip to Mexico, the epicenter of the swine flu outbreak.",
"the pigs have since been quarantined.",
"\"We have determined that the virus H1N1, found in the pigs, is the virus which is being tracked in the human population,\" said Dr. Brian Evans of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.",
"iReport.com:",
"How should H1N1 be handled?",
"Evans and other officials said it is not uncommon for flu viruses to jump from humans to animals, and that it does not pose a risk for consuming pork.",
"The number of pigs infected was not disclosed.",
"The infected farmer had flu-like symptoms, but The infected farmer is recovering, Dr. Brian Evans of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.",

"The sharks arrived and disappeared quickly.",
"I only mention this because I had to be up at four 4 a.m. to get picked up for my day of shark cage-diving, and, clearly, I wasn't getting too much sleep.",
"Not a good start.",
"Nevertheless, I managed to get out of bed on time, and actually felt pretty decent as we drove two hours from Cape Town to some quiet fishing village where about 30 cold, tired backpackers squeezed onto an old boat and into the sea in search of great white sharks.",
"Somebody had to say it: \"We're gonna need a bigger boat.\"",
"But tight as it was on board, we survived, and soon found ourselves bobbing over the waves as small fish began to circle the chum.",

"Now, maybe this has something to do with their biology, or maybe this has something to do with England beating Croatia 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier the night before.",
"Either way, I found it interesting that our friends across the pond were collectively becoming violently ill.",
"One would have thought this would have attracted more sharks -- that fine, rich mixture of lager and pies -- but the seas remained great white-free.",
"In all, it was sort of a bittersweet experience.",
"Being that close to such spectacular sharks was a rare, lifetime opportunity, but of all my South African experiences, this was the most expensive and, in many ways, the least rewarding.",
"Of course, I chalk this up mostly to the early start and cold weather, but, even at its best, I've definitely had better times in my life.",

"But \"Earthlike\" is a relative term.",
"The planet's composition may be similar to that of Earth, but its environment is more like a vision of hell, the project's lead astronomer said.",
"It is so close to the star it orbits \"that The planet may well look like Dante's Inferno, with a probable temperature on The planet's 'day face' above 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and minus-328 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 200 degrees Celsius) on The planet's night face,\" said Didier Queloz of Geneva Observatory in Switzerland, the project leader.",

"the other side could actually have ice\" if there is water on The planet.",

"The astronomers were stunned to find a rocky planet so near a star, Hatzes said.",
"\"Scientists would have never dreamed you would find a rocky planet so close,\" Hatzes said.",

"The planet, known as CoRoT-7b, was detected early last year, but it took months of observation to determine that it had a composition roughly similar to Earth's, the European Southern Observatory said in a statement.",
"Astronomers were able to measure the dimensions of The planet by watching as The planet passed in front of the star The planet orbits, then carried out 70 hours of study of The planet's effect on The planet's star to infer The planet's weight.",
"With that information in hand, Scientists were able to calculate its density -- and were thrilled with what Scientists found, Hatzes said.",
"\"What makes this exciting is you compare the density of this planet to the planets in our solar system, it's only Mercury, Venus and Earth that are similar,\" Hatzes, of the Thuringer observatory in Germany, told CNN.",
"They were helped by the fact that CoRoT-7b is relatively close to Earth -- about 500 light years away, in the constellation of Monoceros, the Unicorn.",
"\"It's in our solar neighborhood,\" Hatzes said.",
"\"The thing that made it easier is The planet's relatively close, so The planet's relatively bright.",

"Roman Polanski has been arrested in Switzerland on a decades-old arrest warrant stemming from a sex charge in California, Swiss police said Sunday.",
"Roman Polanski attends a film premiere in Paris, France, in June 2009.",
"Polanski, 76, was taken into custody trying to enter Switzerland on Saturday, Zurich police said.",
"A spokesman for the Swiss Justice Ministry said Roman Polanski was arrested upon arrival at the airport.",
"Roman Polanski has lived in France for decades to avoid being arrested if Roman Polanski enters the United States and declined to appear in person to collect Roman Polanski's Academy Award for Best Director for \"The Pianist\" in 2003.",
"Roman Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to a single count of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, acknowledging Roman Polanski had sex with a 13-year-old girl.",
"But Roman Polanski fled the United States before Roman Polanski could be sentenced, and U.S. authorities have had a warrant for Roman Polanski's arrest since 1978.",
"Watch what happens now for Polanski » .",
"Roman Polanski was nominated for best director Oscars for \"Tess\" and \"Chinatown,\" and for best writing for \"Rosemary's Baby,\" which Roman Polanski also directed.",
"Roman Polanski was en route to the Zurich Film Festival, which is holding a Roman Polanski tribute this year, when Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss authorities, the Zurich Film Festival said.",
"A provisional arrest warrant was issued last week out of Los Angeles, California, after authorities learned Roman Polanski was going to be in Switzerland, Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, told CNN on Sunday.",
"There have been repeated attempts to settle the case over the years, but the sticking point has always been Roman 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.\"",
"The Swiss Justice Ministry said Roman Polanski was put \"in provisional detention.\"",
"But whether Roman Polanski can be extradited to the United States \"can be established only after the extradition process judicially has been finalised,\" a ministry spokesman said in an e-mail.",
"\"It is possible to appeal at the federal penal court of justice against an arrest warrant in view to extradition as well as against an extradition decision,\" a ministry spokesman wrote.",
"\"Their decisions can be taken further to the federal court of justice.\"",
"Gibbons said the extradition process will be determined in Switzerland, but said authorities are ready to move forward with Roman Polanski's sentencing process, depending on what happens in Zurich.",
"Roman Polanski was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and a sliver of a quaalude tablet and performing various sex acts, including intercourse, with a 13-year-old girl during a photo shoot at actor Jack Nicholson's house.",
"Jack Nicholson's 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.",
"his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston added that Roman Polanski did not strike his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston as the type of man who would force Roman Polanski on a young girl.",
"\"I don't think Roman Polanski's a bad man,\" his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston said in a probation report contained in the filing.",
"\"I think Roman Polanski's an unhappy man.\"",

"There have been repeated attempts to settle the case over the years, but the sticking point has always been Roman 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.\"",
"Roman 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 Roman Polanski shows up in court.",
"Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza also appeared to acknowledge problems with the way Roman Polanski's case was handled years ago.",
"According to court documents, Roman Polanski, Roman Polanski's lawyer and the prosecutor thought Polanski, his lawyer and the prosecutor'd worked out a deal that would spare Roman Polanski from prison and let the young victim avoid a public trial.",
"But the original judge in the case, who is now dead, first sent Roman Polanski to maximum-security prison for 42 days while Roman Polanski underwent psychological testing.",
"Then, on the eve of Roman Polanski's sentencing, the judge told attorneys the judge was inclined to send Roman Polanski back to prison for another 48 days.",
"Roman Polanski fled the United States for France, where he was born.",
"In the February hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza mentioned a documentary film that depicts backroom deals between prosecutors and a media-obsessed judge who was worried the judge's public image would suffer if the judge didn't send Roman Polanski to prison.",
"\"It's hard to contest some of the behavior in the documentary was misconduct,\" said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza.",
"But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza declined to dismiss the case entirely.",
"Legal experts said such a ruling would have been extremely rare.",
"Roman Polanski's victim is among those calling for the case to be tossed out.",
"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 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 case.\"",
"Geimer, now 45, married and a mother of three, sued Roman 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 case had been handled.",
"Following Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza's ruling earlier this year, a 13-year-old girl's lawyer, Larry Silver, said he was disappointed and that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza \"did not get to the merits and consider the clear proof of both judicial and prosecutorial corruption.\"",
"He argued in court that had \"Mr. Polanski been treated fairly\" Roman Polanski's client would not still be suffering because of publicity almost 32 years after the crime.",
"Roman Polanski's arrest Saturday came two days after one of Roman Polanski's wife's killers died.",
"The director's pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, and four others were butchered by members of the Manson \"family\" in August 1969.",
"Roman Polanski was filming in Europe at the time.",
"By her own admission, Susan Atkins held the eight-months-pregnant Tate down as she pleaded for mercy, stabbing the 26-year-old actress 16 times.",
"CNN's Frederik Pleitgen, Brooke Bowman, Karan Olson and Ann O'Neill contributed to this report."
