"(CNN) --",
"Irish bishop resigned Wednesday following a government report into the sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy -- the second to do so.",
"Irish bishop was not directly criticized in government report on sex abuse of children by Catholic clergy, but was a member of the Dublin archdiocese leadership for more than a decade before the Dublin archdiocese leadership put proper protections for children in place, Irish bishop said.",
"Irish bishop said Irish bishop \"should have challenged the prevailing culture\" of protecting the church rather than children when Irish bishop was an auxiliary bishop in Dublin from 1991 to 2002.",
"\"I know that any action now on my part does not take away the suffering that people have endured,\" Irish bishop said in a written statement.",
"\"I again apologize to all the survivors and their families.",
"I have today offered my resignation as bishop of Kildare & Leighlin to the Holy Father.",
"I hope it honors the truth that the survivors have so bravely uncovered and opens the way to a better future for all concerned.\"",
"The Vatican had no immediate comment on my resignation as bishop of Kildare & Leighlin.",
"Irish bishop has been a priest for 48 years, Irish bishop said in a written statement.",
"\"I fully accept the overall conclusion ... that the attempts by church authorities to 'protect the church' and to 'avoid scandal' had the most dreadful consequences for children and were deeply wrong,\" Irish bishop said after the government report came out last month.",
"Bishop Donal Murray, the bishop of Limerick, resigned on December 17.",
"Murray was named in the 720-page report that found the Archdiocese of Dublin and other Catholic Church authorities in Ireland covered up clerical child abuse from 1975 to 2004.",
"Child sexual abuse was \"widespread\" then, the report found.",
"The report by the Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation, which was set up in March 2006 to look into the abuse allegations, did not say Murray was guilty of abuse but that Murray failed to report it.",
"Murray was \"aware for many years of complaints and/or suspicions of clerical child sexual abuse in the archdiocese,\" the report found.",
"the report said Murray dealt \"badly\" with a number of complaints and suspicions of abuse, and that Murray's failings in at least one instance were \"inexcusable.\"",
"Murray resigned under a canon law that requires bishops who have become unsuited for the fulfillment of their office to resign, the Vatican said.",
"Pope Benedict XVI met with senior Irish bishops at the Vatican a week before Murray's resignation and said Pope Benedict XVI was \"deeply disturbed and distressed\" by the report's findings.",
"Pope Benedict XVI promised that the Catholic Church would try to develop strategies to make sure the abuses don't happen again.",
"CNN's Hada Messia in Rome, Italy, contributed to the report."

"Authorities at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear plant were investigating what caused a weekend radiation leak that resulted in 150 workers being sent home, officials said Sunday.",
"An airborne radiological contamination alarm sounded about 4 p.m. Saturday in a single building, according to a statement from Exelon Nuclear, which operates the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania.",
"The unit had been shut down since October 26 for refueling, maintenance and steam generator replacement, the company said.",
"\"A monitor at the temporary opening cut into the containment building wall to allow the new steam generators to be moved inside showed a slight increase in a reading and then returned to normal,\" the company said.",
"\"Two other monitors displayed normal readings.\"",
"Three Mile Island was the scene of the worst U.S. nuclear accident, a partial meltdown in 1979 that resulted in Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear plant's second reactor being shut down permanently.",
"Tests showed the contamination in Saturday's incident was confined to a single building, and none was found outside, the company said.",
"There was no threat to public health and safety, but the workers were sent home because the workers could not continue until the area was cleaned",
", Bill Noll, the company vice president, said in the Saturday statement.",
"One worker was found to have received 16 millirem of exposure, and others received lower levels of contamination.",
"The annual occupational dose limit for workers at the company plants is 2,000 millirem, the Saturday statement said.",
"Radiation exposure from a chest X-ray is about 6 millirem, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.",
"Although Bill Noll said it was hoped work would resume at Unit 1 on Sunday, the company spokeswoman Beth Archer told CNN on Sunday it had not resumed, as the cause of the leak was still under investigation.",
"Two radiation specialists from the NRC were scheduled to investigate Sunday.",
"\"Numerous work activities were going on in the building at the time the alarm sounded, and the company engineers are working to determine the cause of the incident,\" the Saturday statement said.",
"The March 1979 accident at Three Mile Island brought the nuclear industry to a standstill.",
"The partial meltdown of Unit 2's nuclear core resulted in no injuries to plant workers or nearby community members, but The partial meltdown of Unit 2's nuclear core triggered changes in nuclear power plant operations and emergency planning and led to tighter oversight of the nuclear industry by the NRC.",
"The Unit 2 reactor is permanently shut down and defueled, the NRC said.",
"In 2001, FirstEnergy acquired Unit 2 and contracted Unit 2's monitoring to Exelon, which owns Unit 1.",
"The companies plan to keep Unit 2 in \"long-term, monitored storage\" until the Unit 1 operating license expires, at which time both plants will be decommissioned, the NRC said.",
"A new generation of nuclear reactors is being considered in the United States as environmental concerns have intensified about coal-fired power plants.",

"(WIRED) -- What's hot off the presses this week?",
"Want an out-of-print book?",
"With the help of Google, a machine may be able to print one for you.",
"Any one of the more than 2 million books old enough to fall out of copyright into the public domain.",
"Over the last seven years, Google Book Search has scanned millions of dusty tomes from deep in the stacks of the nation's leading university libraries and turned millions of dusty tomes into searchable documents available anywhere in the world through Google Book Search's search box.",
"And now Google Book Search, in partnership with On Demand Books, is letting readers turn those digital copies back into paper copies, individually printed by bookstores around the world.",
"Or at least by those booksellers that have ordered its $100,000 Espresso Book Machine, which cranks out a 300 page gray-scale book with a color cover in about 4 minutes, at a cost to the bookstore of about $3 for materials.",
"The machine prints the pages, binds them together perfectly, and then cuts the book to size and then dumps a book out, literally hot off the press, with a satisfying clunk.",
"(The company says a machine can print about 60,000 books a year.)",
"That means you can stop into the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vermont, and for less than $10, custom-order your own copy of Dame Curtsey's Book of Candy Making, the third edition of which was published in 1920 and which can only be found online for $47.00 used.",
"Dane Neller, On Demand Books CEO, says the announcement flips book distribution on its head.",
"\"We believe this is a revolution,\" Neller said.",
"\"Content retrieval is now centralized and production is decentralized.\"",
"Neller said the deal was clearly about the long tail of books, a reference to Wired magazine's Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson's theory that hits become less important when distribution costs drop.",
"One of the main benefits, according to Neller, is letting local book stores compete with Amazon.com by reducing local book stores's need to have expensive inventory.",
"Other current retailers include the University of Michigan Shapiro Library Building in Ann Arbor; the Blackwell Bookshop in London; the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt; the University of Alberta Bookstore in Edmonton, Canada; and Angus & Robertson Bookstore in Melbourne, Australia.",
"The company hopes to sell 60 more printers in the next year, bringing the number of machines globally to about 90.",
"On Demand Books suggests that book stores price the books at about $8, leaving retailers with a $3 profit after both Google Book Search and On Demand Books collect a buck-a-book fee.",
"Google Book Search plans to donate Google Book Search's share to a yet-unspecified charity, which might be a reaction to Google Book Search's messy legal and public policy fight over a copyright settlement that covers books that are still in copyright.",
"(All the books that are being added to On Demand Books repertoire in this agreement are out of copyright in the country where it will be printed.)",
"Starting Sept. 29, Bostonians can stop in the privately owned Harvard Bookstore in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and have Bostonians's books printed in front of Bostonians.",
"Or Bostonians can order it over the phone and have the store deliver it -- by bicycle.",
"There's a certain irony to that, too, according to Google Book Search spokeswoman Jennie Johnson, since the bookstore is right next to Harvard's library, one of the libraries that partnered with Google Book Search to turn Google Book Search's millions of books into an online library of the future.",
"\"Most people can't get into the Harvard Library, but you can print Most people's books next door,\" Google spokeswoman Jennie Johnson said.",
"Or put another way, On Demand Books is betting that in the future, every old book will have 15 readers.",
"What's of interest in these old books?",
"Plenty, according to Google Book Search.",
"One knitter discovered a long-lost book about knitting, and recreated the heirloom pieces and even built a loom from a long-lost design.",
"Another reader, who works with subsistence farmers in Africa, currently uses PDFs of old farming techniques to teach still-relevant skills.",
"Google Book Search already uses the public-domain books in search results, and users can read those books in full online and even download those books as PDFs for free.",
"Neither Neller or Google spokeswoman Jennie Johnson cared to speculate on how many of these old books Neller or Johnson expect to sell, but Google spokeswoman Jennie Johnson says some 80 percent of the public-domain books are looked at in a given month.",
"Unfortunately, it's unlikely that the number of public domain books will grow larger anytime soon, since Congress added two decades to existing copyright protection in 1999.",
"Copyright, which originally lasts about 14 years, now extends to the life of an author plus 70 years for newly created works.",
"As for these old books's quality?",
"these old books feel like a typical paperback, and are printed using typical 20- or 24-pound paper, with heavier stock for the inkjet-printed cover, which currently all share one design.",
"While turning bits back into paper seems a bit of a stretch for Google Book Search, Google spokeswoman Jennie Johnson said it fits with Google Book Search's goal of organizing the world's information.",
"\"Google Book Search think people should be able to find and read these old books,\" Google spokeswoman Jennie Johnson said.",
"\"Google Book Search don't care how people end up reading them.\"",
"Neller said Neller'd love to see the day when Google Book Searchers can press a button next to a search result and find the closest local printer, but Google Book Search says that's a long way off.",
"So for now, book buyers of the future who want to buy books from the past will need to walk to a bookstore -- or get Harvard Bookstore to use the bicycle, a 19th-century invention, to bring them a book printed with 21st-century technology.",

"(CNN) --",
"Historical tensions and overreaction on the part of both Russia and Georgia contributed to a five-day conflict between the two in 2008, a European Union fact-finding mission concluded in a report released Wednesday.",
"South Ossetian mourners at the grave of a relative killed in five-day conflict on the first anniversary in August 2009.",
"\"five-day conflict is rooted in a profusion of causes comprising different layers in time and actions combined,\" said the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia.",
"\"While it is possible to identify the authorship of some important events and decisions marking its course, there is no way to assign overall responsibility for the conflict to one side alone.",
"Russia have all failed, and it should be Russia's responsibility to make good for it.\"",
"Georgia launched a campaign against South Ossetia, a Russian-backed separatist Georgian territory, on August 7, 2008.",
"The following day, Russian tanks, troops and armored vehicles poured into South Ossetia and another Russian-backed breakaway Georgian territory, Abkhazia, advancing into Georgian cities outside the rebel regions.",
"A total of about 850 people were killed on all sides, the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia said, and untold numbers of others were wounded or went missing.",
"About 100,000 civilians fled 100,000 civilians's homes, and about 35,000 have been unable to return.",
"\"The fighting did not end the political conflict, nor were any of the issues that lay beneath it resolved,\" the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia said.",
"\"Tensions still continue.",
"The political situation after the end of fighting turned out to be no easier and in some respects even more difficult than before.\"",
"Russia and Georgia each blamed the other for starting the conflict, and accused each other of a variety of offenses leading up to and during the fighting, including ethnic cleansing.",
"Moscow has since recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent regions.",
"But relations between Georgia and Russia are at an \"all-time low,\" the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia notes.",
"After five days of fighting, a peace deal was brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, acting on behalf of the EU.",
"An implementation effort followed on September 8.",
"the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia noted that the actions \"stood in contrast to the failure of the international community, including the U.N. Security Council, to act swiftly and resolutely enough in order to control the ever-mounting tensions prior (to) the outbreak of armed conflict.\"",
"Georgian armed forces shelled the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali the night of August 7.",
"While that action was seen as the start of five-day conflict, \"it was only the culminating point of a long period of increasing tensions, provocations and incidents,\" the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia said.",
"\"Indeed, five-day conflict has deep roots in the history of the region, in peoples' national traditions and aspirations as well as in age-old perceptions or rather misperceptions of each other, which were never mended and sometimes exploited.\"",
"Any evaluation of five-day conflict should take that into account, along with mounting tensions in the months and weeks leading up to it, the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia said, as well as \"years of provocations, mutual accusations, military and political threats and acts of violence both inside and outside the conflict zone.",
"\"It has to consider, too, the impact of a great power's coercive politics and diplomacy against a small and insubordinate neighbor, together with the small neighbour's penchant for overplaying its hand and acting in the heat of the moment without careful consideration of the final outcome, not to mention its fear that it might permanently lose important parts of its territory through creeping annexation,\" the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia said.",
"The fact-finding mission was established in December by the EU to investigate five-day conflict.",
"The fact-finding mission was headed by Heidi Tagliavini, a former United Nations special representative for Georgia.",
"the EU said in a statement the EU welcomed the report from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia and hopes its findings can contribute to future international efforts at \"preventive diplomacy.\""

"Dr. Val Jones does not believe the insurance industry set out to cultivate the paperwork jungle.",

"Benedict ended 2009 much as Benedict began it -- with a major gaffe that angered Jews.",
"Benedict started the year by welcoming a Holocaust-denying bishop back into the fold, and ended it by putting the controversial World War II-era Pope Pius XII one step closer to sainthood.",
"Both caused uproars.",
"\"It seems that Benedict doesn't always know what's going out under Benedict's name, or the impact of what's going out under Benedict's name, which is very strange to observe because John Paul II was so media-savvy,\" said Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome.",
"The Pius XII episode \"seems to be yet again a case where they didn't estimate what the response would be,\" Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome said.",
"In both cases Benedict quickly found Benedict having to explain and clarify.",
"Benedict lifted the decades-old excommunication of Bishop Richard Williamson in January, part of an effort to reconcile an ultra-conservative movement with the Vatican.",
"Three other bishops associated with the Society of St. Pius X were un-excommunicated at the same time.",
"The excommunications were not related to Bishop Richard Williamson's Holocaust denial.",
"But it was Bishop Richard Williamson who caused outrage, not only among Jews but also among German Catholic bishops and politicians, because the bishop had been filmed denying that the Nazis systematically set out to murder Jews in Holocaust.",
"The video was freely available on YouTube -- and by March, Benedict was admitting the Vatican should have Googled Bishop Richard Williamson before letting Bishop Richard Williamson back into the church.",
"The excommunication's remission caused \"a discussion more heated than any we have seen for a long time,\" Benedict XVI wrote in an open letter to bishops in March.",
"\"I have been told that consulting the information available on the Internet would have made it possible to perceive the problem early on,\" Benedict acknowledged.",
"\"I have learned the lesson that in the future in the Holy See we will have to pay greater attention to that source of news.\"",
"Benedict made Benedict's first visit as pope to Israel in the wake of the controversy -- a visit planned long before the Bishop Richard Williamson uproar erupted -- and delivered a clear message: \"Every effort must be made to fight anti-Semitism wherever it is found.\"",
"But fresh controversy blew up this month when Benedict issued a decree proclaiming the \"heroic virtues\" of World War II-era Pope Pius XII.",
"Pius, who reigned from 1939 to 1958, is perhaps the most controversial pope of modern times, accused by detractors of not speaking out against the Nazi persecution of Jews.",
"(John Cornwell titled John Cornwell's book about World War II-era Pope Pius XII \"Hitler's Pope,\" just to make his point perfectly clear.)",
"Israel Meir Lau, a former chief rabbi of Israel and himself a Holocaust survivor, said it would \"shame\" the Vatican to declare Pius XII a saint.",
"\"Especially not now, when many survivors are still alive.",
"It will hurt many survivors deeply to know that the man who could save [many survivors], could do much more and did not do it,\" he said.",
"\"It is not a good education for generations to come.\"",
"Even as Holocaust was going on, the United States was pushing World War II-era Pope Pius XII to act.",
"\"At the time of Holocaust, questions about World War II-era Pope Pius XII's public silence were raised by Myron Taylor, the U.S. representative to the Vatican, and Taylor's assistant, Harold Tittman, who requested that the Holy See speak out on the issue,\" the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum said Monday.",
"\"The opening of the post-1939 archival material is essential to a proper assessment of World War II-era Pope Pius XII.",
"Only then will a sound and accurate portrait of World War II-era Pope Pius XII's moral leadership during Holocaust be possible,\" the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum argued.",
"Benedict's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, called World War II-era Pope Pius XII an \"important pope that we know was guiding the church in very difficult times.\"",
"the Vatican has long argued that World War II-era Pope Pius XII did more behind the scenes to help Jews than World War II-era Pope Pius XII gets credit for -- but has not produced proof.",
"the Vatican says the Vatican will open the Vatican archives from World War II-era Pope Pius XII's era to scholars, but not for several more years, blaming the delay on the length of time it takes to catalogue and prepare the materials.",
"But by Wednesday, Lombardi was backpedalling on the wartime pope.",
"First, Lombardi said, Benedict XVI had merely ratified a decision which the the Vatican committee that evaluates candidates for sainthood had already made about World War II-era Pope Pius XII.",
"Further, Benedict's declaration was about World War II-era Pope Pius XII's \"intense relationship with God and continuous search for evangelical perfection ... and not the historical impact of all his operative decisions,\" Lombardi said in a written statement.",
"The decree \"is in no way to be read as a hostile act towards the Jewish people, and it is to be hoped that The decree will not be considered as an obstacle on the path of dialogue between Judaism and the Catholic Church,\" Lombardi said, looking ahead to Benedict's planned visit to the main synagogue in Rome in January.",
"the pope's planned visit to the main synagogue in Rome in January will be the first time a pope goes to the synagogue since John Paul II did in 1986, and is meant to be a major symbol of good relations between the two faith communities.",
"Benedict is a German -- in fact, Benedict was forced as a young man to join the Hitler Youth -- and an accomplished musician who relaxes by playing piano.",
"So why does Benedict have such a tin ear when it comes to the Holocaust?",
"Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome suspects that different factions within the Vatican may be competing for influence.",
"Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome noted that both the Williamson and Pius XII controversies blew up \"soon before what were expected to be major advances in Catholic-Jewish relations\" -- the trip to Israel and the pope's planned visit to the main synagogue in Rome in January.",
"The Italian Jewish community, for The Italian Jewish community's part, seems to understand the competing pressures on the pope, Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome said, citing a cartoon in the Jewish monthly Pagine Ebraiche showing Benedict walking across Rome's Tiber river towards the city's main synagogue -- on a tightrope.",
"Benedict holds a pole for balance, with a flag on one side saying \"dialogue\" and the other saying \"conversion.\"",
"\"It's a very sympathetic cartoon for the pope, surprisingly sympathetic,\" said Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome.\"",
"Whatever gaffes may cause problems between the Vatican and the Jewish community, Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome said, there is little chance of a complete rupture in relations.",
"\"Dialogue with the Jews is now embedded in Vatican doctrine,\" Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome said.",
"\"It's a loud dialogue.",
"There's shouting.",
"But if you don't have opposing views, it's not dialogue -- it's an echo chamber.\"",

"WASHINGTON (CNN)",
"-- President Obama will meet with top congressional leaders from both parties Tuesday to discuss a war in Afghanistan that now appears to be at a potential tipping point.",
"The meeting on a war in Afghanistan that now appears to be at a potential tipping point comes as the President Obama administration conducts a review of the Obama administration's Afghan strategy.",
"President Obama will be joined by, among others, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the heads of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees in the House and Senate, two Democratic officials said.",
"The meeting on the war comes amid the President Obama administration's comprehensive review of U.S. strategy in Afghanistan.",
"Several top military leaders and opposition Republicans are pressing President Obama to act quickly to increase the present 68,000-troop level by as many as 40,000.",
"\"There's no doubt that, particularly on funding, it's not going to happen until Congress signs off,\" White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday.",
"\"They're an important part of this, and the president wants to hear from them.\"",
"In March, President Obama announced a plan to send more than 20,000 additional troops to Afghanistan to provide security for a national election.",
"That move followed what President Obama and others called years of inadequate resources in Afghanistan because of the Bush administration's focus on Iraq.",
"The President Obama strategy was based on a counterinsurgency mission intended to defeat terrorists based in Afghanistan while winning local support and helping with development.",
"Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who took over four months ago as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has submitted an assessment in which, sources have told CNN, McChrystal says McChrystal needs additional forces to carry out The Obama strategy successfully.",
"Otherwise, McChrystal reportedly warns, the mission could fail, bringing a return of power to the Taliban.",
"\"We need to reverse the current trends, and time does matter,\" McChrystal said last week in a speech in London, England.",
"\"Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome.",
"This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely.\"",
"U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, however, appeared to push back Monday against those who are loudly urging a rapid troop increase.",
"It's \"important that we get it right,\" U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a U.S. Army audience.",
"U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that it's also \"important that all of us ... provide the best advice to the president candidly but privately.\"",
"Gen. George Casey, chief of staff of U.S. Army, echoed U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates's view, telling reporters that he would be sharing his views \"in private\" and that they'd be \"the second to know.\"",
"Obama has yet to respond to McChrystal's report, prompting opponents to accuse him of indecisiveness and playing politics that puts U.S. soldiers on the ground at risk.",
"Watch more on the debate over the best way forward » .",
"National Security Adviser James Jones Jr. on Sunday cited three developments since March that have led the White House to reconsider the White House's overall Afghanistan strategy: . • Questions about the legitimacy of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's election victory. • McChrystal's conclusion that the Taliban is stronger than previously thought. • Neighboring Pakistan's improved efforts to change the overall dynamic of the border region.",
"\"The key in Afghanistan is to have a triad of things happen simultaneously,\" National Security Adviser James Jones Jr. said on CNN's \"State of the Union,\" listing improved security, economic development and \"good governance and the rule of law.\"",
"National Security Adviser James Jones Jr. said President Obama \"is going to have to pitch in and do much better\" than President Obama has to improve the governance situation after the elections, widely considered as tainted by vote fraud in some areas.",
"Some in President Obama's inner circle, including Vice President Joe Biden, are advocating a counterterrorism approach that focuses on combating al Qaeda through the use of unmanned drones and special forces without involving additional troops.",

"Medellin's drug underworld is littered with \"poseurs\" -- lowlife triggermen pretending they're the real hard cases.",
"Samir Romero, wanted by police for two murders, was killed in August.",
"He was shot 13 times.",
"But a longstanding and trusted source, with intimate knowledge of Medellin's violent subculture, assured me the two men I was about to meet were the real deal.",
"My destination: a single-story home in Medellin's notorious \"Commune 13\" district where I had set up a meeting with two hit men, who have for years hired their lethal services out to the cocaine cartels.",
"Inside the house, a man called \"Red\" sat on a couch toying a fully loaded 9mm Ruger pistol.",
"\"This will stop somebody nicely,\" Red said, as I glanced at it.",
"Red's face and arms were covered in burn marks.",
"Red said it was a testament of the day a barrel of acid spilled onto Red as Red was working in a clandestine cocaine processing lab in northern Colombia.",
"Red explained that after the accident, the lab foreman tossed Red out, half-dead, into a jungle clearing.",
"What little strength Red had left, Red said Red used to bat away vultures.",
"And, against the odds, Red made Red's way to safety and slowly recovered.",
"When Red left the clinic months later, Red said Red went straight back to a clandestine cocaine processing lab in northern Colombia and gunned down the foreman and three of his henchmen.",
"That wasn't Red's first killing though, Red told me.",
"When Red was just 11 years old, Red recounted, Red took a razor to the throat of a neighborhood drug pusher who had been molesting Red's little sister.",
"The other man, \"C\", sat quietly as I listened to Red.",
"Like Red, my source told me, \"C\" was also the so-called \"chief\" of a number of neighborhoods -- running local drug-peddling operations, extortion rackets and organizing hits for a big cartel boss Red simply referred to as \"El Cucho,\" or \"The Old Man.\"",
"It was a hot morning and Red was shirtless.",
"Red's chest was branded with a tattoo of the Virgin Maria Auxilatrix, known in Colombia as the \"Virgin of the Assassins.\"",

"I guess my mum imagines because my mum tells me to take care otherwise I'll wind up dead.",

"You're nervous.",
"But then you kill the second one and that's a kind of a medicine.",

"You're not killing somebody for the fun of it.",
"If you don't mark your territory then you're a nobody.\"",

"KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (Reuters) --",
"Malaysia defended on Friday Malaysia's practice of caning criminals after a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session burst onto the Internet, reigniting criticism from lawyers and human rights advocates.",
"In a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session, a naked man is shown strapped to an upright wooden frame, a naked man's rear exposed to a uniformed official who lifts a meter-long rattan stick above his head before bringing it down on the prisoner's buttocks, tearing the flesh with each strike.",
"The video, in which the moaning and shaking prisoner is struck six times, has spread quickly across the Internet, capturing headlines in the Web sites of some European newspapers and forcing the Malaysian government on to the defensive.",
"\"The government at this stage has no plans to abolish the cane as part of punishment,\" Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow told Reuters by telephone.",
"Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow said a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session was an official recording that had been leaked onto the Internet.",
"a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session had been produced for deterrent purposes, with excerpts shown during anti-narcotic education sessions to would-be drug dealers, Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow added.",
"\"a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session was taken officially by us for a demonstration purpose, but a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session is not supposed to have the victim's face identified.",
"Somehow somebody must have taped (copied) a disturbing video of a prison-yard caning session.\"",
"Malaysia is not alone in caning criminals, which critics say breaches human rights norms, including the U.N. Convention Against Torture.",
"Neighboring Singapore also wields the rattan stick and caused a U.S. outcry 13 years ago when it caned an American teenager, Michael Fay, four times for vandalism.",
"But Malaysia's Bar Council, which represents about 12,000 lawyers, recently called for a ban on caning, saying the \"cruel\" practice was rising in Malaysia, especially on illegal immigrants after hasty hearings arranged at crammed detention centers.",
"\"They have started imposing the caning sentence in a more rigorous way and it can affect anyone who comes in (to Malaysia) without a passport or papers, so it happens to asylum-seekers and refugees,\" said Latheefa Koya, of the council's Legal Aid Center.",
"Malaysia denied use of the cane was widespread against illegal immigrants and Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow said it was reserved mainly for the traffickers of illegal immigrants in addition to drug-traffickers and violent criminals.",
"Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow said Malaysia also faced calls from victims of crime for the use of the cane to be maintained or even increased for some serious crimes \"in view of the crime rate in Malaysia\".",
"Crime is seen as a major electoral issue in the run-up to a possible early general election, expected early next year.",
"\"We respect the view of the Bar Council but there are many other views from the people and also from the victims of crimes that there should be an increase (in caning),\" Deputy Internal Security Minister Fu Ah Kiow said.",

"Prague, Czech Republic (CNN) --",
"Fireworks and rock 'n' roll echoed across central Prague on Tuesday as thousands of marchers commemorated the 20th anniversary of the \"Velvet Revolution\" that toppled Communist rule.",
"The peaceful 1989 uprising began with a student march to mark a 1939 clampdown on opposition in what was then Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.",
"It drew 15,000 people -- students as well as teachers, professors and ordinary Czechs who had grown weary of state control.",
"Ivan Pilip, one of the students who took part, said a student march to mark a 1939 clampdown on opposition in what was then Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia \"was very different\" from previous demonstrations he had joined.",
"\"There was a different group of people,\" he said.",
"\"We feel that people that participated in such events before had come, and people that participated in such events're ready to do something.",
"And it was more and more visible every minute.\"",
"The protest was held a week after the opening of the Berlin Wall, as pressure was building on the Communist governments of Eastern Europe.",
"When the demonstrators tried to divert a student march to mark a 1939 clampdown on opposition in what was then Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to central Prague's Wenceslas Square, the demonstrators were attacked by police -- a response that led tens of thousands more people to join mass demonstrations that lasted another 10 days.",
"\"My kids cannot understand today what was moving our minds and hearts that day 20 years ago,\" Pilip's wife, Lucie, said Tuesday.",
"\"We watched television today to show them what we had come through these 20 years, and I think it's an enormous success.\"",
"a student march to mark a 1939 clampdown on opposition in what was then Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia led to talks between government officials and the Civic Forum, a group of dissidents led by playwright Vaclav Havel.",
"The Communist Party ceded power in December, and playwright Vaclav Havel became president.",
"\"Many of our citizens who took part in the democratic changes died already with a feeling that they contributed to something that meant a lot,\" playwright Vaclav Havel said Tuesday.",
"\"In our ordinary, daily lives, we tend to forget our friends of that time -- our comrades, free-thinking individuals.\"",
"The anniversary march was capped by a concert that featured dissident musicians of the day, along with American folk singer Joan Baez.",
"playwright Vaclav Havel appeared onstage with a guitar, but told the crowd, \"Don't worry, a guitar doesn't mean I'm going to play today.\"",
"Musicians, actors and other artists played major roles in a student march to mark a 1939 clampdown on opposition in what was then Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.",
"Michael Kocab, now the Czech Republic government's human rights minister, was a rock singer who became the revolutionaries' key negotiator.",
"\"In the beginning there was many times this idea, 'What am I doing here,'\" Kocab told CNN recently.",
"\"I knew in the future I'd get used to it.",
"And five or 10 days later, I forgot I was a musician and I submerged myself in political negotiations.",
"And I liked it.\"",
"The celebration was organized by Opona, a nonprofit group established to observe the milestone anniversary of the dismantling of the Iron Curtain.",
"\"Our inspiration to do this was from our memories -- we still remember the times that preceded the events,\" said David Gaydecka, one of the organizers.",
"\"We believe that the changes in those 20 years have been positive despite all those maladies which came along with the freedom.\"",

"On Saturday, one john abandoned the classroom.",
"Carol Leigh, a member of the Sex Workers Outreach Project, a group that promotes decriminalizing prostitution in California, said she doesn't believe the John School is an effective deterrent.",
"\"the John School doesn't do that much,\" said Leigh, who has worked as a prostitute.",

"Nashville officials said Nashville officials haven't tracked recidivism rates in Nashville officials's city, but the John School's program director said it's probably deterring a third of the offenders in each class.",

"For 13-year-old Brandon Marti, the intranasal vaccine felt \"good,\" \"cold\" and \"watery\" at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx, New York, on Tuesday.",
"Brandon Marti, 13, receives a dose of the intranasal vaccine for the novel H1N1 flu Tuesday.",
"Marti, among the first to get vaccinated against the novel H1N1 influenza virus this week, said he would tell his friends and classmates that \"the swine flu vaccine is good, and protects me from getting the swine flu.\"",
"New York has received a shipment of 68,000 doses of the FluMist variety vaccine.",
"the FluMist variety vaccine was made available before the injectable kind because the FluMist variety vaccine was ready first, said Thomas Skinner, spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"As states across the country receive and distribute the vaccine, questions still linger about who should get the vaccine and why.",
"Here are some guidelines: . Where is the vaccine?",
"The campaign to inoculate millions of Americans against H1N1 flu began Monday.",
"Every state is developing a vaccine delivery plan, according to the CDC.",
"How much do you know about H1N1?",
"Take our quiz. » .",
"All states in the United States have ordered vaccine, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, at a briefing Tuesday.",
"Each Friday, the CDC will provide information about how much vaccine is available to states and how much has been ordered.",
"So far, about 2.2 million doses out of the available 2.4 million have been ordered, Frieden said.",
"Learn more from your state.",
"the vaccine is being made available as soon as the vaccine comes off the production line, Frieden said.",
"This week the intranasal mist variety, called FluMist, became available, and next week the injectable form will made available, Frieden said.",
"iReport.com:",
"Are you getting the vaccine?",
"Frieden acknowledged that these first few weeks will be \"bumpy\" in terms of distributing the vaccine, and that demand is currently greater than supply.",
"However, Frieden expects that supply will soon outstrip demand.",
"\"It will take some time to get the whole system, from the manufacturer through the distributor to the providers and to people who want to get vaccinated, up and running,\" Frieden said.",
"Who should get it?",
"the CDC recommends that specific groups of people get vaccinated first, but there are no rankings within the priority groups, Frieden said.",
"The nasal spray version of the vaccine should be used only in people 2 to 49 and who do not have an underlying health problem, Frieden said.",
"The priority groups for it include health care workers, children and people who care for infants, Frieden said.",
"Pregnant women should not have the FluMist version because the FluMist version contains the live virus.",
"Kathleen Sebelius and CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta discuss H1N1 vaccine » .",
"Ashley Marti, 9, sister of Brandon, also got her H1N1 vaccination Tuesday.",
"Health care and emergency medical services personnel should be in the priority group because vulnerable patients could potentially contract the flu from them, the CDC said.",
"Already, infections among health care workers have been reported, and the health care system capacity could become significantly lowered if large numbers of these workers are absent, the CDC said.",
"Once the injectable shot becomes available, all priority groups should be vaccinated, the CDC said.",
"These include pregnant women, because they are at higher risk of complications and may be able to provide protection to unvaccinated infants.",
"People from 6 months to 24 years old should also receive the vaccine, and people from 25 to 64 should get the vaccine they have a chronic health disorder or a compromised immune system",
", the CDC said.",
"According to a CNN/Opinion Corp. poll in late August, two-thirds of Americans said two-thirds of Americans plan to be vaccinated against H1N1 flu.",
"Does anyone have to get it?",
"There are no formal penalties for those who do not get the vaccine, but people in the military are required to receive the vaccine, according to the American Forces Press Service.",
"The state government of New York has said that health care workers must get the vaccine, although no law outlines penalties for noncompliance.",
"Still, some workers fear some workers'll lose some workers's jobs if some workers don't get vaccinated.",
"How many doses do you need?",
"For people 10 and older, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of one dose of the vaccine.",
"For children 9 and younger, two doses may be required, Frieden said.",
"the CDC recommends that three to four weeks pass between the first and second dose.",
"What if the virus mutates?",
"Nathan Stein, 7, participated in a clinical trial for the H1N1 vaccine over the summer.",
"the virus has not changed much since the spring, Frieden said.",
"In fact, the part of the virus that determines whether it's very deadly is different from the part that determines whether the vaccine will fight against it, Frieden said, meaning that vaccination will still most likely offer protection even if the virus becomes more deadly.",
"Why should you get it?",
"Frieden said the virus can range from mild to severe.",
"It can make a person sick for one, two or three days, leading to absence from school or work, and some people may even need hospitalization.",
"\"Tragically, some people may die from it,\" Frieden said.",
"Still, it is not a disease that sends a lot of people to the hospital, Frieden said.",
"the vaccine is also safe, Frieden said.",
"the vaccine is made in the same production facilities by the same companies with the same methods as the seasonal flu vaccine, and the vaccine is the same kind of vaccine that has been given each year, Frieden said.",
"Frieden's own children will get it, as will the families of other public health experts, Frieden said.",
"Some people are concerned that it is too late to get vaccinated against the novel virus, but Frieden also dismissed this.",
"\"It's too soon to say it's too late because we don't know what the rest of the season will bring,\" Frieden said.",
"CNN's Elizabeth Cohen contributed to this report."

"(CNN) --",
"Shel Israel is not the kind of person you'd expect to find on Twitter all day.",
"Shel Israel's 65.",
"Shel Israel, author of a new book on Twitter.",
"Shel Israel says Twitter changed Shel Israel's life.",
"But Shel Israel has been using Twitter longer than most",
"In fact, Shel Israel gave up Shel Israel's lifelong habit of reading the newspaper every day about four years ago and turned exclusively to social media.",
"Shel Israel now knows how to use Twitter, how not to use Twitter, and how to benefit from Twitter, and Shel Israel says Twitter has changed Shel Israel's life.",
"The social-media journalist and public speaker is the author of a new book, \"Twitterville: How Businesses Can Thrive in the New Global Neighborhoods.\"",
"a new book on Twitter shows how Twitter flattens geographical boundaries and helps people connect with others around the world who share people's interests.",
"To Shel Israel, it's the mundane details of one's life, shared through tweets and status updates, that matter.",
"Shel Israel believes that tweeting about what you had for lunch can actually help build a meaningful personal or business relationship.",
"Shel Israel also says that who you follow on Twitter is much more important than the number of people who follow you.",
"That's because the people you follow become \"your newspaper -- the way you get the information that you see, that you digest, and that you use.\"",
"Here is an edited version of the conversation.",
"CNN:",
"Your timing in writing a new book on Twitter seems perfect -- Twitter just blew up.",
"Did you see this boom coming?",
"Shel Israel: Yeah I did, but not with this great prescience.",
"I just thought it was going to get bigger and bigger, and I thought there was a value to Twitter that no other social media tool had.",
"See part of our chat with Shel Israel here » .",
"What are those values you mentioned that only Twitter has?",
"There are two values and they're closely intertwined.",
"The first is that Twitter lets people behave online more closely to how we behave in real life than anything that ever preceded it in history.",
"It's kind of past now, but there was this whole wave of admonition of nobody cares what you had for lunch, and to be honest that's absolutely false.",
"If I said that I was in a restaurant in Atlanta, [Georgia,] you'd say, \"Oh, where did you go?",
"You didn't by chance try the...\" and we have a conversation that way.",
"We care about the details of life.",
"When you bring this into business, I don't think many members of your audience ever bought or sold anything from a conversation that starts with, \"Are you going to buy something?\"",
"It begins with small talk.",
"And that brings us to the second point.",
"The brevity creates an interaction that no other media tool allows.",
"Until now most social media is I write or create something, and you read it and comment back.",
"In Twitter, it's so brief that no one is the lead conversationalist, really.",
"And it isn't about what you post in 140 characters, it's about the number of spoonfuls of content that you feed people who are interested in eating it.",
"Why are you so fascinated by Twitter?",
"Most people your age don't use social media at all.",
"I was born too soon?",
"(Laughs)",
"I don't know what it is about Shel Israel, but it's what drew me to Silicon Valley in the first place -- I just get turned on by new ideas and new trends.",
"I am extremely curious by nature.",
"I like meeting people who think and act differently than I do.",
"And that I think keeps me young, along with the fact that I spend much of my time with people younger than Shel Israel.",
"And they seem to value the fact that this older guy has some wisdom, but they don't understand how much I'm learning from them.",
"You tell a lot of specific Twitter anecdotes in a new book on Twitter.",
"Do you have a favorite character?",
"I have a few real favorites.",
"[One is] Janis Krums, who was the 23-year-old guy taking a ferry to New Jersey when a funny thing happened -- the US Airways flight 1549 landed [on the Hudson River] a couple of football fields away from him.",
"He whips out an iPhone, uses a 30-day-old product called Twit Pic, and takes a picture.",
"Twenty-seven minutes later he's on national TV, the photo he took is the backdrop, and his voice is being heard nationally through the iPhone that he used.",
"I asked him how his life had changed by becoming the most famous citizen journalist of at least 2009.",
"And his answer to Shel Israel was, \"You know, I didn't plan to be a citizen journalist, I just wanted to go to New Jersey.\"",
"And that might have been my single favorite answer to any question.",
"You also describe why certain strategies work for particular organizations in a new book on Twitter.",
"Are there Twitter marketing strategies that wouldn't work for some companies?",
"Yeah, I talk a lot about changing of eras.",
"We're going [away] from the broadcast era -- that's when content is sandwiched by messages to pay for the experience, and those messages are in the form of advertising or PR or other marketing tactics.",
"And most people don't like them anymore, and we use our Tivo and our spam filters to avoid as many of these messages as possible.",
"In social media, if companies come up and try to treat [Twitter] as just an extension of companies's marketing solutions, companies will fail.",
"What companies need to do in social media is join the conversation rather than start the conversation, and not make it about companies.",
"companies need to tell what companies're doing rather than sell what companies're doing.",
"And that's a fundamental change.",
"We're going into a conversational era, which is bi-directional.",
"What would you say to employers who don't let their employees use social media like Twitter and Facebook during work hours?",
"Whenever something new comes into the marketplace, there are companies that are really in love with the way it's always been done.",
"When you start banning things, you're showing a natural distrust of your employees, which is, even in tough times, not an intelligent way to treat your employees.",
"And the second thing is they're banishing the state-of-the-art communications tool.",
"What's the future of Twitter, in your opinion?",
"A year from now, Twitter will be more of an everyday experience -- the need to meet up, to talk will move on to something that we don't know about yet.",
"My vision for Twitter is that employees of your age coming into the workplace will be shown a desk, a computer ...[and set up employees of your age coming into the workplace's social media accounts] and then be told to go to work and use [Twitter] how employees of your age coming into the workplace see fit to get the job done."

"HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, New York (CNN) --",
"In 2002, Pam Koner's was flipping through the The New York Times when a photograph stopped Pam Koner's in Pam Koner's's tracks: an 8-year-old girl laying across The girl's torn, barren mattress in Pembroke, Illinois, forking pasta and a boiled chicken bone into The girl's mouth.",
"The girl's image signified the deep-rooted poverty in The girl's rural community.",
"Pam Koner's is combating hunger by connecting sponsor and recipient families.",
"The picture moved Pam Koner's to tears and inspired Pam Koner's to take action.",
"\"When I read about a community so profoundly poor that women and children were not eating the last week of the month, I walked into my living room where Pam Koner's's daughters were and said, 'We're going to do something as a family,' \" recalls Koner, a 57-year-old single mother of two living in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.",
"In the seven years since, Pam Koner's's determination to help families in Pembroke led to the creation of Family-to-Family, a nonprofit that connects more than 600 sponsor and recipient families in 13 communities nationwide.",
"Do you know someone who should be a CNN Hero?",
"Nominations are open at CNN.com/Heroes.",
"The project began with Pam Koner's contacting an outreach worker in Pembroke, who told Pam Koner's Pembroke needed food more than anything else.",
"Pam Koner's enlisted help from Pam Koner's's neighbors and parents of children in Pam Koner's's childcare business; the group began sending monthly boxes of food and basic household items to the neediest families in Pembroke.",
"\"People were excited to be a part of something,\" says Pam Koner's of Pam Koner's's donor community.",
"\"Something so little as shopping, packing and sending a box.\"",
"Through monthly food donations, Pam Koner's's organization has provided nearly 800,000 meals to struggling families across the country.",
"For privacy purposes, Pam Koner's says, the group makes sure donor and recipient communities are at a distance, such as an Atlanta, Georgia, chapter helping a community in Kentucky or a Florida family helping a Navajo family in New Mexico.",
"In addition to providing basic essentials, families exchange letters, swap photographs and share stories about cultural traditions and family events.",
"\"There's a shared learning experience,\" says Pam Koner's.",
"\"When a sponsoring family reads about a Navajo family lifestyle -- barren landscape, a trailer home with no electricity and no running water -- children get a profound, firsthand look at differences.",
"Knowing that each other exists changes the way we look at the world.\"",
"Watch Pam Koner's describe how the communities connect with each other » .",
"The economic downturn has prompted Pam Koner's's group to broaden its outreach and sponsorship methods.",
"Bedford-Stuyvesant, a community in Brooklyn, New York, of predominantly working-class African-Americans, is the group's only urban sponsored community.",
"It is also one of the organization's cyber-adoption sites, where sponsor families participate through Paypal, an online money exchange tool.",
"A food pantry buys and boxes up the food to give directly to the families.",
"Pam Koner's also learned of families in Pam Koner's's own Hastings-on-Hudson community in need of help.",
"\"I was quite surprised,\" Pam Koner's says.",
"\"Hastings-on-Hudson is probably middle-class to upper-middle-class.",
"It's not a showy community, but this was a community of families who were not in need of help before.\"",
"Pam Koner's's community has eagerly embraced Hastings-on-Hudson's neighbors in need, Pam Koner's says, but unlike traditional sponsored families at a distance, Hastings-sponsored families presented privacy concerns.",
"\"That there could be a child who was going to school with my child who I was helping ...",
"Hastings-on-Hudson felt that was too personal and private.",
"To respect the individual family in need [was] important for Hastings-on-Hudson since Hastings-on-Hudson live so close together,\" says Pam Koner's.",
"To help maintain their anonymity, donations for the 11 sponsored families in Hastings-on-Hudson are labeled by letters of the alphabet, so sponsor families have no identifiable information about who sponsor families're helping.",
"Watch how kids in Pam Koner's's town are helping to feed far-away families » .",
"Despite economic challenges, Pam Koner's says Pam Koner's's noticed growing enthusiasm among families to become sponsors in Pam Koner's's own community and beyond.",
"\"I anticipated that we would really be affected, people would drop out.",
"But that hasn't happened.",
"We've actually launched new chapters of sponsoring families.\"",
"Pam Koner's attributes the outpouring of generosity to a heightened awareness for how tough times present a new outlook on giving.",
"Watch Pam Koner's and some sponsor families in action » .",
"\"There are plenty of communities where families are struggling families, but will keep this as part of families's budget,\" Pam Koner's says.",
"\"We're all affected.",
"No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow.",
"We need to be there for each other and we need to share.",
"We're meant to be connected.\"",
"Want to get involved?",
"Check out Family-to-Family and see how to help."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Federal safety investigators said Tuesday Federal safety investigators fear flaws found in WASHINGTON's Metro subway system after a deadly crash this summer may endanger other transit systems, and Federal safety investigators sent out an urgent recommendation asking that other rail operators check for similar problems.",
"Investigators are shown at the crash scene in WASHINGTON.",
"Nine people were killed in the June 22 wreck.",
"In letters to federal regulators, the National Transportation Safety Board said \"all rail transit operators and railroads should be informed\" about system flaws that could cause a track circuit to fail to detect a train.",
"It was not clear how many rail systems have similar train detection systems.",
"Neither the NTSB nor the Federal Transit Administration had a list of systems that use the \"audio frequency track circuits\" that are the focus of the probe.",
"But an FTA spokesman said that because it doesn't know how many operators use the systems, \"we are sending today's urgent recommendation to all rail transit operators, and will identify the pertinent operators through a later survey.\"",
"Meanwhile, the Federal Railway Administration, which regulates Amtrak and more than a dozen commuter rail systems, said the Federal Railway Administration, which regulates Amtrak and more than a dozen commuter rail systems also will follow the NTSB guidance but believes the number of impacted systems will be \"limited.\"",
"Nine people were killed and 52 taken to hospitals June 22 when a southbound Metrorail train struck the rear end of stopped train just north of the Fort Totten station.",
"Investigators say an automatic train protection system did not detect the stopped train, so a southbound Metrorail train did not receive a command to slow or stop.",
"NTSB said NTSB is continuing NTSB's investigation into the precise causes of the crash, but NTSB said its investigation into the precise causes of the crash has raised concerns that the track circuit is susceptible to errant signals.",
"In NTSB's letter to regulators, NTSB said NTSB discovered one circumstance in which an unintended signal path could be created, resulting in a track relay remaining energized even though a stopped train was occupying the track circuit.",
"\"After only three months, its investigation into the precise causes of the crash is far from complete, so NTSB are not ready to determine the probable cause of the [Metro] accident,\" NTSB Chairwoman Deborah A.P. Hersman said.",
"\"However, NTSB's findings so far indicate a pressing need to issue these recommendations to immediately address safety glitches we have found that could lead to another tragic accident.\"",
"NTSB sent letters to Metro, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration and Alstom Signaling Inc., which acquired General Railway Signal, the manufacturer of some of the equipment."

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Race and politics are a combustible combo that explodes into headlines when an ex-president lights the fuse, as Former President Carter did recently.",
"President Obama during the 2008 campaign faced questions over race and politics.",
"\"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds,\" the Democrat told students at Emory University on Wednesday.",
"\"I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that Obama should not be president because Obama happens to be African-American,\" Former President Carter added.",
"The controversy erupted this week when Former President Carter first raised the race issue to NBC.",
"\"An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward Obama is based on the fact that Obama is a black man,\" Former President Carter said.",
"Bill Cosby, a black comedian and actor, said Wednesday in a written statement that he agrees with Former President Carter.",
"\"During Obama's speech on the status of health care reform, some members of Congress engaged in a public display of disrespect,\" he said.",
"CNN contributor David Gergen said that some of the allegations of race-baiting might have some weight among Democratic voters.",
"\"Former President Carter, I'm afraid, is not alone in Former President Carter's views,\" he said.",
"But CNN contributor David Gergen warns that the racists tend to be on the fringes of the right and do not reflect on the greater field of opponents to Obama's ideology.",
"\"But I think it's wrongheaded, and I think it's unfair, and I think it's indeed a libel upon many of the opponents, most of the opponents of health care reform, to say that they're racist,\" Former President Carter said.",
"\"Seven previous presidents have tried to bring health care reforms of this kind.",
"All seven have failed.",
"And, as I recall, all seven were white.\"",
"Former President Carter's comments, though, are the kind that raise people's defenses.",
"In particular, they turn off independents, who by nature tend to hate the hard edges of politics.",
"The White House, for The White House's part, wants no part of the Former President Carter controversy.",
"\"Obama does not believe that that criticism comes based on the color of Obama's skin,\" said The White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.",
"As a candidate, Obama understood the political danger in letting Obama's race become a major topic.",
"Obama largely avoided his race when Obama could, but race was always a subtext, as race is now in Obama's presidency.",
"\"But I can also say, frankly, that The White House and even Obama's campaign were very afraid to even go down this road dealing with anything with race,\" said CNN contributor Roland Martin.",
"Former President Carter also told NBC that there is an \"inherent feeling among many people in this country that an African-American ought not to be president and ought not to be given the same respect as if he were white.\"",
"Framing criticism as racism cropped up several times during the campaign.",
"When Geraldine Ferraro, a Clinton supporter, said during the 2008 Democratic primaries that Obama would never have gotten as far as Obama had if Obama had not been black, Obama pointedly left race out of it.",
"\"I think that her comments were ridiculous,\" Obama said at the time.",
"But Ferraro blamed Obama supporters for Ferraro's hate mail, saying \"I have been called all kinds of names.",
"And the attacks are ageist.",
"the attacks're sexist.",
"the attacks're racist.\"",
"iReport.com: Freedom from speech?",
"And the topic of race even came to haunt Bill Clinton, the so-called first black president.",
"Before the New Hampshire primary in January 2008, Clinton told an audience that \"there's no difference in [Obama's] voting record and Hillary's ever since.",
"Give me a break.",
"This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I have ever seen.\"",
"Some interpreted that as belittling Obama's campaign.",
"After much criticism, Clinton later said he was talking about Obama's opposition to the war in Iraq, not Obama's campaign.",
"But those two words -- \"fairy tale\" -- launched weeks worth of accusations, sometimes on the front page of The New York Times, that the Clintons were playing the race card.",
"iReport.com:",
"Share your thoughts on race and politics .",
"Some observers said Former President Carter's statement was far too broad, and that many of the attacks on Obama are about policy, not race.",
"\"I don't think one can paint a broad brush in saying that all of these folks who have criticism, anybody who criticizes Obama ... is based upon the issue of race,\" Martin said.",
"Mary Matalin, a CNN contributor and Republican strategist, said Carter's criticism is \"absurd.\"",
"\"It's very dangerous politics,\" she said.",
"\"Obama got, in the last election, more white male voters than any of Obama's predecessors.",
"... Republicans and conservatives and Democrats and liberals, the whole country felt very good putting -- setting aside policies after Obama's election.\""

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"The White House refused to indicate Monday whether President Obama will issue a posthumous pardon for Jack Johnson, the African-American boxing champion convicted in 1913 for dating a white woman.",
"Johnson's 1910 defeat of Jim Jeffries, the \"Great White Hope,\" sparked riots.",
"The House of Representatives on July 29 unanimously passed a resolution urging President Obama to grant a pardon; Senate passed a similar measure by a voice vote on June 24.",
"The push for a rare posthumous pardon has been spearheaded for years by Sen. John McCain, Rep. Peter King.",
"\"It is our hope that you will be eager to agree to right this wrong and erase an act of racism that sent an American citizen to prison,\" they wrote Friday in a letter to President Obama.",
"Johnson, the first African-American to win the heavyweight title, was convicted for violating the Mann Act, which outlawed the transportation of women across state lines for \"immoral\" purposes.",
"Johnson served 10 months in prison on charges \"brought forward clearly to keep Johnson away from the boxing ring, where Johnson continued to defeat Johnson's white opponents,\" McCain and King said.",
"Almost a century after Johnson's conviction, his compelling saga has continued to capture the interest of sports writers, civil rights activists and historians.",
"his compelling saga provides, civil rights activists and historians agree, a unique window into American politics and culture at a time when Jim Crow-style racism reigned supreme.",
"Johnson was first arrested for breaking the Mann Act in 1912, four years after winning the heavyweight crown.",
"That case fell apart, but investigators soon after charged Johnson with a similar offense involving a woman Johnson had dated years earlier.",
"Justice Department lawyers argued it was a \"crime against nature\" for Johnson to have a sexual relationship with a white woman.",
"Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, later to become the first commissioner of Major League Baseball, set Johnson's bail at $30,000, the equivalent of more than $660,000 today.",
"When a bail bondsman showed up, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis jailed a bail bondsman, too, according to an account that filmmaker Ken Burns relays in his documentary \"Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Johnson.\"",
"An all-white jury convicted Johnson in less than two hours.",
"\"Johnson was perhaps persecuted as an individual, but ... it was Johnson's misfortune to be the foremost example of the evil in permitting the intermarriage of whites and blacks,\" one of the prosecutors later said.",
"Johnson's real crime, in the eyes of many, was committed on July 4, 1910, when Johnson successfully defended Johnson's boxing title against Jim Jeffries, a white boxer who came to be called the \"Great White Hope\" because many white fans saw him as the best chance to wrest back a boxing title from the African-American champ.",
"Johnson beat Jeffries, who had come out of retirement for the fight, before a stunned, almost entirely white crowd in Reno, Nevada.",
"Race riots followed.",
"More than 20 people were killed and hundreds were injured.",
"Most victims were black.",
"So when they \"couldn't beat Johnson in the ring, the white power establishment decided to beat Johnson in the courts,\" Burns said in his documentary.",
"Johnson fled to Europe in 1913 while free on appeal.",
"But after years of fights overseas, including the eventual loss of Johnson's title in Havana, Cuba, in 1915, Johnson came home.",
"Johnson turned Johnson over to U.S. authorities at the Mexican border in 1920 and served 10 months in prison.",
"Johnson died in a car wreck in 1946.",
"\"Back then, if you were black and you were told that you did something wrong, you really had no recourse,\" Linda Haywood, Johnson's great-niece, recently told CNN.",
"\"You just accepted what was done because black people were basically powerless and voiceless.",
"Johnson may have been a rich boxer, but Johnson couldn't fight the system.\"",
"McCain and King introduced resolutions calling for a presidential pardon in 2005 and last year.",
"McCain, who says he made a mistake by once voting against a federal holiday for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., sees the pardon as a way to right an old wrong.",
"\"The Johnson case is an ignominious stain on our nation's history,\" he said on the Senate floor in the spring.",
"\"Rectifying this injustice is long overdue.",
"[The resolution recognizes] the unjustness of what transpired, and sheds light on the achievements of an athlete who was forced into the shadows of bigotry and prejudice.\""

"Many young people don't consider, however, that babies do not and cannot love anyone but themselves, and they also take a tremendous amount of time, attention and resources.",
"Memo to single mothers by choice: When you decide to have a child alone in order to fulfill your deep need to parent, you may be deliberately substituting your emotional loss for that of your child, who will have to grow up without a father.",
"We need to respect the role of men as husbands and fathers when men as husbands and fathers do right by men as husbands and fathers's families.",
"Boys and girls need Boys and girls's fathers to love Boys and girls and to model the sacrifice and commitment that bonds a married couple.",
"Men who \"man up\" like this need our support and encouragement.",
"Our state legislatures should revisit no-fault divorce laws that allow one party to a marriage to opt out of it too easily.",
"Change now can result in change in the future.",
"Although there are many success stories, children who grow up in single-parent families are less likely to enjoy the financial security, educational success and social skills of children living with their married parents.",
"This only continues to fuel poverty and inequality in our country.",

"In May, 53 percent blamed the GOP.",
"According to a new national poll, 27 percent now blame the Democrats for the recession, up 6 points from May, and 27 percent now say both parties are responsible.",

"Conan O'Brien suggested in a statement Tuesday that Conan O'Brien will not accept NBC's proposal to move Conan O'Brien and \"the show,\" which Conan O'Brien's hosted for seven months, to 12:05 a.m. ET.",
"NBC has proposed moving \"the show\" from its traditional 11:35 p.m. slot so that the show's former host, Jay Leno, could host a half-hour show then.",
"\"My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and My staff and I are very proud of My staff and I's contribution to the legacy of 'the show.'",
"But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction,\" O'Brien said.",
"\"Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn't matter.",
"But with the show, I believe nothing could matter more.",
"\"There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next.",
"My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.\"",
"Read O'Brien's full statement .",
"After Leno left \"the show\" last year -- as part of an agreement reached six years ago giving it to Conan O'Brien -- he began hosting \"The Jay Leno Show\" for NBC in the fall, airing at 10 p.m. ET.",
"But ratings for \"The Jay Leno Show\" were low, and on Sunday, NBC announced that NBC was taking Leno out of the prime-time slot because the show \"didn't meet affiliates' needs\" despite performing at acceptable levels for the network.",
"The last show will air February 11 to make way for the 2010 Winter Olympics, which airs starting February 12.",
"Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment, said the plan was for Leno to host a new, half-hour show at 11:35 p.m. ET, followed by \"Tonight\" with Conan O'Brien at 12:05 a.m. and Jimmy Fallon's \"Late Night\" show moving to 1 a.m.",
"As of Sunday, NBC was still negotiating with the three hosts over the proposed lineup.",
"iReport:",
"Share your view on the late-night shakeup .",
"Conan O'Brien, in Conan O'Brien's statement Tuesday, said the plan wasn't acceptable.",
"\"For 60 years the show has aired immediately following the late local news.",
"I sincerely believe that delaying 'the show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting,\" O'Brien said.",
"\" 'The Tonight Show' at 12:05 simply isn't 'The Tonight Show.'",
"\"Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the 'Late Night' show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot.",
"That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy Fallon's.\"",
"Fox's president of entertainment, Kevin Reilly, told reporters on Monday that Reilly's network may be interested in Conan O'Brien should Conan O'Brien leave \"Tonight.\"",
"\"I love Conan O'Brien,\" Reilly said at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.",
"\"It's a very compatible fit for our brand.",
"Conan O'Brien is one of the few guys in the planet who has demonstrated Conan O'Brien can do one of these shows every night.\"",
"In monologues on their respective shows on Monday, Leno and O'Brien had zingers about the looming shakeup.",
"\"NBC said the show performed exactly as NBC expected the show would and then canceled us.",
"Don't confuse this [with] when we were on at late night and performed better than expected and NBC canceled us.",
"That was totally different,\" Leno quipped.",
"Conan O'Brien had the following to say on Conan O'Brien's show Monday: . -- \"Good evening, I'm Conan O'Brien, the new host of 'Last Call with Carson Daly.' \"",
"-- \"This weekend no one was seriously hurt, but a 6.5 earthquake hit California.",
"a 6.5 earthquake was so powerful that a 6.5 earthquake knocked Leno's show from 10:00 to 11:35.\"",
"-- \"On the positive side, I have learned a valuable lesson from all this: Never sign a contract that ends with the word 'NOT.' \""

"Demonstrators entered Demonstrators's third day of a building takeover at UC Santa Cruz on Saturday in protest of a tuition increase, an undertaking that a school spokesman called futile.",
"The occupation of Santa Cruz is just one of several demonstrations across University of California campuses this week after the regent's board approved a 32 percent increase in tuition Thursday.",
"University officials said the $505 million to be raised by the tuition increases is needed to prevent even deeper cuts than those already made due to California's persistent financial crisis.",
"Protesting students said the increase will hurt working and middle-class students who benefit from state-funded education.",
"On the Santa Cruz campus, where building occupations began last week with a library sit-in, about 100 students staged a sit-in in the second-floor lobby of Santa Cruz soon after hearing that the increase had been approved, according to UC Santa Cruz Provost David Kliger.",
"about 100 students made a list of 20 \"demands\" detailing how about 100 students want the administration to increase funding, spokesman Barry Shiller said.",
"But the school has no plans to negotiate the demands with the student body, spokesman Barry Shiller said.",
"the school just doesn't have the money, spokesman Barry Shiller added.",
"School officials hope about 100 students realize that their demonstration is \"not accomplishing anything\" and is \"just a disruption\" to administrative duties on campus, spokesman Barry Shiller said.",
"the administration will continue to wait out the takeover, but spokesman Barry Shiller said spokesman Barry Shiller is unsure of how long it will last.",
"the school hopes about 100 students will leave voluntarily, spokesman Barry Shiller said.",
"Are you there?",
"Share your story, video .",
"Meanwhile, uprisings on other campuses have quieted since earlier mass demonstrations.",
"At UC Berkeley on Friday night, 41 protesters occupying a building were arrested.",
"Authorities decided to cite them for trespassing and release them rather than take them to jail, per an agreement with student leaders, school spokeswoman Claire Holmes said.",
"Three students were arrested there Friday morning.",
"Fifty-two students were arrested at UC Davis late Thursday after Fifty-two students refused to vacate the school's administration building.",
"And UCLA's Campbell Hall was occupied for several hours Thursday evening.",
"The angry students are condemning a nearly $2,000 tuition increase.",
"The first change, which takes effect in January, will raise undergraduate tuition to $8,373.",
"The second increase kicks in next fall, raising tuition to $10,302, university spokeswoman Leslie Sepuka said.",
"Students who live on campus could pay an estimated $17,200 in additional fees that include the annual cost of books and housing, according to the system's July 2008 finance guide.",
"The January increase of about 15 percent is more than double the average public university tuition increase last year.",

"Ben Freeth's farm was gutted by fire, as was Ben Freeth's's father-in-law's.",
"The power-sharing agreement included an undertaking by both parties to ensure property rights are upheld but farm attacks and invasions continue unabated in Zimbabwe.",
"Charles Lock is one of an estimated 400 farmers who have remained in Zimbabwe despite President Robert Mugabe's policy of redistributing white-owned farms to landless blacks.",
"\"Why do they want to remove me when I've complied with everything they want?",
"What more do they want other than for me to pack my bags and leave and if that's the case, then admit that that is the policy.",
"Pass a law: no whites are allowed to farm.",
"Then a law makes it clear,\" Charles Lock said.",
"Since 2000, President Robert Mugabe's controversial land reform program has driven more than 4,000 commercial farmers off more than 4,000 commercial farmers's land, destroying Zimbabwe's once prosperous agricultural sector.",
"\"When Mugabe's controversial land reform program began, we decided we were not going to have a confrontational attitude; that we would actually go along with Mugabe's controversial land reform program because Mugabe's controversial land reform program was the only way that this whole thing would be sorted out.",
"So I voluntarily gave away my own farm and moved onto my father-in-law's farm,\" Charles Lock said.",
"That was in 2002.",
"A year later the government came knocking on Charles Lock's door again, Charles Lock said, demanding more land.",
"Charles Lock told CNN Charles Lock eventually gave up 70 percent of Lock's farm's father-in-law's farm, which Charles Lock then owned.",
"Now an army general is demanding Charles Lock's remaining 30 percent.",
"When Zimbabwe's new unity government was formed -- with President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF and Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change -- in February this year, the general allegedly posted soldiers on Charles Lock's farm.",
"Charles Lock said Charles Lock stopped farming and trade at gun point.",
"When CNN visited Charles Lock's farm this month, workers were standing idle.",
"Maize and tobacco, which Charles Lock said is worth more than U.S. $1 million, lay in storage.",

"But President Robert Mugabe has declared the ruling null and void and pulled out of a southern African tribunal.",
"Farmers cannot contest land issues in Zimbabwe and approaching international courts has thus far not worked either.",
"When CNN interviewed President Robert Mugabe's minister of state, Didymas Mutasa, about the disregard for human and property rights on the farms, he blamed the farmers for the violence, saying landless blacks are getting frustrated with landless blacks's refusal to relinquish landless blacks's land.",
"\"Human rights are beginning to be seen now because Human rights benefit the whites, and when Human rights were affecting blacks badly as Human rights did the likes of us, it didn't matter and nobody raised anything about those human rights.",
"\"And sometimes we say, good heavens, if that is the kind of human rights you are talking about, you better keep Human rights away from us; we don't want to see Human rights,\" he told CNN.",
"But it is black farm workers who are caught in the cross fire.",
"black farm workers continue to bear the brunt of Mugabe's controversial land reform program by repeatedly being beaten and intimidated.",
"Some have even been killed.",
"Tractor driver William Kale said it is farm laborers working for white farmers who are targeted.",
"\"They actually say you the workers, you are ones that are supporting the white farmer.",
"That is why he is carrying on farming and we refuse to go because we have nowhere to go,\" Tractor driver William Kale told CNN.",
"Many farmers and farm workers we spoke to say Many farmers and farm workers are in a worse position now under the unity government than Many farmers and farm workers were before.",
"Lock said: \"When ZANU-PF was in power, you had hawks and doves in government and the doves were approachable and often helped us.",
"But now that these positions are being shared with Mr. Tsvangirai's MDC, President Robert Mugabe has only appointed hawks to President Robert Mugabe's cabinet who insist on continuing Mugabe's controversial land reform program.",
"And when it comes to the MDC, the land issue seems to be a hot potato the MDC do not want to touch.",

"\"That is not true,\" Mr. Tsvangirai said.",
"\"We initiated to find out who is being affected, the few remaining white farmers.",
"Let's be frank here, we are talking of farmers as being white, but to me any destruction of farm production affects the whole viability of agriculture.",
"There should be no disruption of any farm activity.\"",

"the Department of Veterans Affairs will give up to $3,000 to students who haven't received funds from education bills .",
"the Department of Veterans Affairs announced Friday that the Department of Veterans Affairs will issue up to $3,000 to students who have yet to receive the funds that VA's various education bills -- including the recently passed Post-9/11 GI Bill -- provide to help veterans pay for college.",
"\"This is an extraordinary action we're taking,\" VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said in a statement.",
"\"But it's necessary because we recognize the hardships some of our Veterans face.\"",
"VA estimates there are 75,000 veterans eligible for the emergency funds, including 25,000 veterans who have served since September 11.",
"VA statistics show more than 27,500 vets have already received benefits for housing or books under the new Post-9/11 GI Bill, and hundreds of thousands more have gotten benefits under its other programs.",
"The delay in processing the benefits has created much consternation among veterans, with some worried they would have to drop out of school because of a lack of funds.",
"The lag was caused because some schools have not yet filed for the tuition and because of a backlog at the Veterans Affairs offices, according to a department official.",
"Any money given to eligible veterans will be deducted from the education benefits eligible veterans are scheduled to receive and can be used for housing and books.",
"VA has been speaking to schools to ensure that veterans do not get kicked out if veterans's tuition has not yet been paid, said VA spokeswoman Katie Roberts.",
"\"Veterans were having a lot of financial issues, and we needed to address them,\" VA spokeswoman Katie Roberts said.",
"To help with the influx of applications, the department has hired more than 700 extra processors.",

"Obama met Monday night with Obama's national security team on Afghanistan and Pakistan, White House announced.",
"It was the ninth meeting of Obama's war council to consider whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, as requested by the U.S. commander on the ground there.",
"White House made no statement after the meeting ended at 10 p.m. ET (0300 GMT).",
"the meeting included Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen, Afghanistan commanding Gen. Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry and other senior officials, White House said earlier.",
"At the last war council meeting -- on November 11, Veteran's Day -- Obama pushed for revisions in proposed plans for troop increases to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government.",
"Obama would seek answers to the questions Obama posed on November 11 about \"not just how we get people there, but what's the strategy for getting people out,\" White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said before the meeting.",
"No matter what happened at the meeting, Gibbs said, Obama will not announce a decision on troop deployment until at least next week.",
"One option calls for sending about 34,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in addition to the 68,000 already committed to the country, with other options involving variations of that plan, sources told CNN.",
"Before the meeting, Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, told CNN that the decision-making process was approaching completion.",
"Petraeus emphasized the need to focus on the mission of ensuring that Afghanistan \"does not once again become a sanctuary or safe haven for al Qaeda and the kind of transnational extremists that carried out the 9/11 attacks.\"",
"The Obama administration has expressed concerns about Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai's viability and has ratcheted up pressure to end corruption in order to combat an intensifying Taliban insurgency.",
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on a trip to Afghanistan last week to attend Karzai's inauguration after his recent re-election, reiterated the U.S. concerns in a dinner meeting with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and encouraged Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai to seize the \"clear window of opportunity\" before Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai at a \"critical moment\" in Afghanistan's history.",
"The United States and other countries are increasing The United States and other countries's civilian presence in Afghanistan to bolster efforts to stabilize Afghanistan, the the U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, told reporters on Monday.",
"Asked about the corruption problem, Richard Holbrooke noted that some Afghan government ministers have \"extraordinary records\" of accomplishment.",
"The United States will work with some Afghan government ministers, while recognizing that years of civil war and social woes have weakened overall leadership capabilities in Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke said.",
"\"This is one of the main reasons The United States're increasing The United States's civilian role,\" Richard Holbrooke said.",
"\"And it's extremely delicate to get the mix right.",
"The United States want to help the Afghans help the Afghans.",
"The United States do not want to replace a sovereign government with internationals.\"",
"Republican opponents are pushing Obama to quickly agree to McChrystal's reported request for up to 40,000 additional troops in Afghanistan as part of a counterinsurgency strategy.",
"\"This won't be perfect or easy, but it will allow The United States's fighting men and women to leave Afghanistan with honor, and it will enable Afghans to build a better, more peaceful future,\" said a letter to Obama from 10 Republican senators sent on Veteran's Day."

"The Nazis had planned to round up all the ghetto's Jews in three days, but in the end it took The Nazis more than a month -- longer than some countries held out against Hitler's armies.",
"The Nazis reduced the ghetto to rubble in the process of flushing resistance fighters out of their bunkers.",
"Marek Edelman was in one of the last groups to hold out in the headquarters of the Jewish Fighting Organization at 18 Mila Street.",

"The Jewish population still living outside the 'Seuchensperrgebiet' ('Quarantined Zone') was brought inside the special area.",
"Poles living within the designated ghetto boundaries were ordered to move out,\" Marek Edelman wrote.",

"All houses vacated by Jews were immediately locked by the Germans and then, with all All houses vacated by Jews's contents, gratuitously given to Polish merchants and hucksters ... .",
"The walls and barbed wire surrounding the ghetto grew higher every day until, on November 15, they completely cut off the Jews from the outside world.\"",
"Hunger and disease were rife in the ghetto, Marek Edelman wrote.",
"\"People began to die of hunger in the streets.",
"Every morning, about 4-5 a.m., funeral carts collected a dozen or more corpses on the streets that had been covered with a sheet of paper and weighted down with a few rocks.",
"Some simply fell in the streets and remained there,\" Marek Edelman remembered.",
"Jews organized a local government and Socialist unions, but conditions became progressively worse in the ghetto, with The Nazis summarily executing people.",
"The Nazis then began deporting Jews to concentration camps -- sometimes with the help of Jewish collaborators in the ghetto -- Marek Edelman wrote.",
"By that time, many in the ghetto knew The Nazis were systematically murdering Jews in concentration camps, Marek Edelman recalled.",
"Marek Edelman describes in detail the spring 1943 uprising, a street-by-street battle that ended with the ghetto in ruins.",
"Marek Edelman's history finishes simply, listing the handful of survivors of the hundreds who fought back.",

"London, England (CNN) --",
"A long-awaited inquiry into Britain's role in The inquiry got under way Tuesday -- a process that could determine whether Former Prime Minister Tony Blair misled Former Prime Minister Tony Blair's country over the 2003 invasion.",
"The inquiry is expected to be the most thorough investigation yet into the decisions that led up to the Iraq War and governed Britain's involvement, analysts said.",
"It is not a court of law, so The inquiry cannot find anyone criminally responsible or even apportion blame.",
"But inquiry members will be able to judge the legality of the conflict.",
"\"The inquiry was set up to identify the lessons that should be learned from the UK's involvement in Iraq, to help future governments who may face similar situations,\" inquiry Chairman John Chilcot said at the opening of Hearings Tuesday.",
"\"To do this, we need to establish what happened.\"",
"Chilcot, a senior civil servant, said on the eve of the hearings that the committee is \"completely determined\" to write the full story of Iraq war decision-making by the British government using all the evidence it can get.",
"Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who announced The inquiry in June, has promised the committee will have access to the full range of information, including secret documents, in order to identify lessons that can be learned from the Iraq War.",
"The inquiry officially began July 30, but Tuesday was the first day of hearings, which are expected to last into the new year.",
"The hearings were initially going to be held behind closed doors, but after criticism the British government decided to allow The hearings to be public and televised.",
"the committee has said the committee will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to keep The hearings private when discussing sensitive or classified information.",
"Blair will be called to testify, Chilcot said earlier this year, and Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has said Former Prime Minister Tony Blair will appear.",
"Other witnesses will be key decision-makers involved in Iraq, Chilcot has said.",
"Chilcot has said the panel members plan to visit Iraq as part of the panel members's work, as well as hold discussions with Iraqis outside of the country.",
"Top officials from the British and U.S. governments also might be called on for evidence, Chilcot said.",
"Britain has already held four hearings about the Iraq War.",
"But because all were held before the end of 2004 -- so close to the start of the Iraq War -- they were hampered by limited information, political analyst Glen Rangwala of Cambridge University told CNN.",
"\"They didn't manage to achieve anything like a comprehensive understanding of the paths that led the UK to support the United States in the invasion,\" political analyst Glen Rangwala of Cambridge University said.",
"\"This will be the first to look at political decision-making that led to the British invasion of 2003, with the potential to tell a full story.\"",
"People involved in those decisions are more likely to testify now than People involved in those decisions were a few years ago, political analyst Glen Rangwala of Cambridge University said.",
"That partly because British troops are no longer involved in combat in Iraq, but also because the Iraq War there is no longer the politicized issue it was when Blair was in power, political analyst Glen Rangwala of Cambridge University said.",
"\"The sort of political sting has been taken out of it, and people who are presenting people who are presenting their evidence to the (inquiry)'s evidence to the (inquiry) won't feel quite so constrained by the political line, or the party line, than people who are presenting their evidence to the (inquiry) would have a few years ago,\" political analyst Glen Rangwala of Cambridge University said.",
"Britain's first two inquiries were held by government committees in 2003.",
"The House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs examined whether Britain's Foreign Office gave accurate and complete information to Parliament in the run-up to the Iraq War.",
"The House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs found the British government exerted no improper influence on the drafting of the dossier given to Parliament on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction.",
"The Intelligence and Security Committee then examined whether intelligence about Iraq and Iraq's weapons was properly assessed and accurately reflected in government publications.",
"The Intelligence and Security Committee's findings were mixed.",
"The next two inquiries had narrow mandates, looking at specific aspects of the Iraq War.",
"The Hutton report from January 2004 investigated the death of David Kelly, a leading microbiologist and former U.N. weapons inspector who committed suicide months earlier.",
"David Kelly, a leading microbiologist and former U.N. weapons inspector who committed suicide months earlier had worked for the British Ministry of Defence, advising the British Ministry of Defence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, but was later found to be the source of a BBC report that said the British government had exaggerated evidence to justify war on Iraq.",
"Following that came the Butler inquiry, which looked at the accuracy of intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and elsewhere.",
"the Butler inquiry, which looked at the accuracy of intelligence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and elsewhere found some of the intelligence sources were \"seriously flawed,\" but that there was no evidence of deliberate distortion or culpable negligence by spy agencies."

"Stewart David Nozette of Chevy Chase, Maryland, was taken into custody Monday by FBI agents.",
"Stewart David Nozette, 52, who is charged with attempted espionage, appeared in U.S. District Court Tuesday afternoon.",
"Authorities said in a criminal complaint that Nozette, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, tried to deliver classified information to someone he thought was an Israeli intelligence official, but who was actually an FBI undercover agent.",
"Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Asuncion said Tuesday that evidence will show David Nozette disclosed to investigators information that was \"top secret, related to our national defense, that would cause exceptionally grave damage to national security\" if revealed to a foreign country.",
"Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Asuncion said FBI made videotapes of David Nozette indicating he was \"willing to sell some of our most guarded secrets.\"",
"The prosecutor noted that the charges carry a possible life sentence.",
"David Nozette answered in the affirmative when Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson asked David Nozette whether David Nozette understood the seriousness of the charges against David Nozette.",
"Other than that, Nozette, who was arrested Monday, made no statements at David Nozette's initial court appearance.",
"Defense attorney John Kiyonaga did not immediately oppose the government's request to hold Defense attorney John Kiyonaga's client without bond, and said Defense attorney John Kiyonaga's client agreed to waive a deadline for a formal detention hearing.",
"Nozette, who remains in custody, will appear in court again on October 29 for detention and preliminary hearings.",
"In an affidavit, FBI sets out the case against Nozette, who received a doctorate in planetary sciences from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.",
"The FBI document, signed by Special Agent Leslie G. Martell, says that David Nozette in January 2009 told a colleague \"that if the government tried to put David Nozette in jail\" on an unrelated matter, David Nozette would move to Israel or another unidentified foreign country and \"tell Israel or another unidentified foreign country everything\" David Nozette knows.",

"They met in downtown Washington in front of a hotel, and over lunch, David Nozette \"demonstrated his willingness to work for Israeli intelligence,\" it says.",
"The undercover agent engaged in a series of meetings with David Nozette, and eventually David Nozette allegedly provided \"secret\" information in a \"dead drop\" post office box.",
"Some of the information, an affidavit says, was classified as secret.",

"Brussels, Belgium (CNN) --",
"European Union leaders named Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy as the first \"president of Europe\" Thursday, edging out former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for a still-vaguely defined job.",
"\"I did not seek a still-vaguely defined job, and I didn't take any steps to achieve a still-vaguely defined job,\" Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy said in accepting a still-vaguely defined job.",
"\"But tonight, I take on this task with conviction and with enthusiasm.\"",
"Van Rompuy, a 62-year-old, soft-spoken fan of Japanese poetry, will become the face of European Union and represent European Union's 27 member nations at summits overseas.",
"Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy's conservative government took office in December 2008.",
"Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy is \"well known as a consensus builder,\" said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who added the selection was unanimous.",
"And Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission -- the executive arm of European Union -- called Van Rompuy's selection \"a tribute to Belgium,\" the EU's host country.",
"\" I think European Union also expressed European Union's gratitude for the work of Belgium and the constant support that this country at the heart of Europe has given to our common project,\" Jose Manuel Barroso said.",
"In Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy's speech, Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy pledged to lead European Union through a process of \"dialogue, unity and action.\"",
"\"A negotiation that ends with a defeated party is never a good negotiation,\" Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy said.",
"\"As president of the council, I will listen carefully to everyone, and I will make sure that all deliberations turn into results for everyone.\"",
"The presidency was created by European Union's Lisbon Treaty, which came into force this month after years of torturous negotiations.",
"Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy will serve a two-and-a-half-year term, replacing the six-month presidency of the bloc that rotated among the heads of its member states.",
"But while European Union prides European Union on being a club of democracies, the process of choosing European Union's new leader was far from transparent or open.",
"The people of Europe are getting no say, not even through The people of Europe's parliamentarians.",
"Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy's new job was announced after a closed-door dinner for European Union's heads of state and government.",
"The Belgian defended the process of choosing its new leader, telling reporters the selection was made by leaders \"who were all democratically chosen.\"",
"\"I was chosen on the basis of a treaty,\" Belgian PM Herman Van Rompuy said.",
"\"a treaty stipulates the procedure.",
"a treaty was democratically approved by 27 member states.\"",
"The EU leaders also named Catherine Ashton, a British trade commissioner and member of the House of Lords, as the union's High Commissioner -- its equivalent of a foreign minister.",
"Unlike Van Rompuy, who was chosen by leaders of European Union's member states, Ashton must be confirmed by the European Parliament.",
"Blair, who led Britain from 1997 to 2007, is currently European Union's Mideast envoy.",
"Blair had been the early favorite for the presidency in recent weeks -- but Brown, Blair's successor, realized that Blair lacked support among key decision-makers for new post, a Brown representative told CNN earlier.",
"According Blair's backers, who at first included French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Blair was just the sort of world-renowned figure to win attention for European Union and enable European Union to exercise European Union's weight in world affairs.",
"One Indian official told CNN before the announcement, \"If European Union chooses as European Union's worldwide representative the prime minister of Belgium or Luxembourg, I am not sure our leaders will have the time to meet him.\"",
"But others were soon arguing that Blair's support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and Blair's close alliance with former U.S. President George W. Bush made Blair a divisive figure in Europe.",
"And as the one man who might have been able to take Britain into the European single currency, Blair had not even attempted to do so while Blair was Britain's prime minister.",
"Public backing from Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, a joke figure to much of Europe and another former U.S. President George W. Bush ally, did not help.",
"Brown had realized earlier that Blair did not have enough support among key decision-makers to snag the new post, a Brown representative told CNN earlier.",
"CNN Political Contributor Robin Oakley contributed to this report."

"A Muslim woman and the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sued a judge Wednesday for allegedly ordering Woman to remove Woman's hijab, or religious head covering, in court.",
"Raneen Albaghdady, of Wayne County, Michigan, contends that Judge William Callahan told Woman to remove Woman's hijab on June 16 when Woman was petitioning for a name change, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in a U.S. district court in Michigan.",
"Wayne County is also listed as a defendant in the suit.",
"Judge William Callahan and the 3rd Circuit Court of Michigan said in a written statement that Callahan and the 3rd Circuit Court of Michigan had not seen the complaint and could not comment on the lawsuit.",
"However, Callahan and the 3rd Circuit Court of Michigan said that Woman did not object to removing Woman's head covering and that Woman had not informed Judge William Callahan that Woman wore it for religious reasons.",
"the lawsuit says Judge William Callahan \"insisted\" that Albaghdady, a naturalized citizen, remove Woman's hijab and that Woman eventually complied.",
"the lawsuit says Judge William Callahan denied Woman's petition for a name change, saying that Woman had filed Woman's petition five days too early.",
"No further details were offered.",
"the lawsuit seeks an order declaring the practice of \"forcing Muslim women to remove Muslim women's hijab as a precondition to appearing in court\" unconstitutional and illegal.",
"the lawsuit asks that the judge and Wayne County not be allowed to \"take similar unconstitutional actions.\"",
"The Michigan Islamic relations council released a partial video of the incident Tuesday on YouTube.",
"In a partial video of the incident, Judge William Callahan can be heard saying, \"The head piece?",
"No hats allowed in the courtroom.\"",
"The statement from Judge William Callahan and the 3rd Circuit said that a partial video of the incident was \"missing some critical footage.\"",
"\"In response to Judge William Callahan's direction, 'No hats allowed in the courtroom,' Woman responded, \"Okay, it doesn't matter,' and immediately removed her hijab's head covering, without protest or explanation,\" the statement said.",
"\"Judge Judge William Callahan and the court have the greatest respect for spiritual practices and all religious preferences.",
"Had he been informed that the head covering had some religious significance, Judge William Callahan would have permitted Woman to continue wearing her hijab in court,\" it said.",
"The suit comes a day after the state's Supreme Court issued an order allowing lower state courts to \"exercise reasonable control\" over the appearance of witnesses and parties to lawsuits, a rule change that had been proposed after a Muslim woman refused to remove an Islamic garment in a small claims court.",
"an order allowing lower state courts to \"exercise reasonable control\" over the appearance of witnesses and parties to lawsuits allows courts \"reasonable control over the appearance of parties and witnesses\" so as to \"ensure that the demeanor of such persons may be observed and assessed by the fact-finder and ensure the accurate identification of such person.\"",
"The order, which amends a rule of the Michigan Rules of Evidence, is effective September 1.",
"The justices had voted earlier this summer to change it.",
"The amendment was prompted by a 2006 small claims case in Michigan filed by Ginnah Muhammad, who wore a niqab -- a garment that covers the entire face and head, except for the eyes -- to court, an order allowing lower state courts to \"exercise reasonable control\" over the appearance of witnesses and parties to lawsuits said.",
"Judge William Callahan asked a Muslim woman to remove a Muslim woman's niqab, saying Judge William Callahan needed to be able to see a Muslim woman's face to tell whether a Muslim woman was telling the truth, according to court documents.",
"a Muslim woman refused, saying a Muslim woman was a practicing Muslim and would take off the veil only in front of a female judge.",
"Judge William Callahan said a female judge was not available and told a Muslim woman a Muslim woman could remove her niqab or have a Muslim woman's case dismissed.",
"a Muslim woman chose the latter, according to court documents.",
"a Muslim woman sued Judge William Callahan in federal district court, which declined to exercise jurisdiction over her case.",
"a Muslim woman has since appealed to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to court documents.",
"Michigan is home to about 600,000 Muslims, and close to 500,000 live in the southeastern part of Michigan, according to the Michigan office of the American-Islamic relations council.",
"The Detroit area, in Wayne County, ranks fifth nationwide for the number of Muslims, the Michigan office of the American-Islamic relations council said.",
"Last month, the Judicial Council of Georgia adopted a policy allowing religious head coverings in the state's courtrooms.",
"Daniel Mach, the director of litigation for the American Civil Liberties Union's Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, said Wednesday the issue has \"come up in a variety of states.\"",
"\"We are concerned about the growing number of incidents restricting religious expression in the courtroom,\" he said.",

"Discovery was announced by project scientist Anthony Colaprete at a midday news conference.",

"And NASA didn't find just a little bit; NASA found a significant amount\" -- about a dozen, two-gallon bucketfuls, he said, holding up several white plastic containers.",
"The find is based on preliminary data collected when the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, intentionally crashed October 9 into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus crater near the moon's south pole.",
"After the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite struck, a rocket flew through the debris cloud, measuring the amount of water and providing a host of other data, project scientist Anthony Colaprete said.",
"The project team concentrated on data from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite's spectrometers, which provide the best information about the presence of water, project scientist Anthony Colaprete said.",
"A spectrometer helps identify the composition of materials by examining light materials emit or absorb.",
"Although the goal of the $79 million mission was to determine whether there is water on the moon, discoveries in other areas are expected as studies progress, Colaprete and other scientists said at the briefing at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Francisco, California.",
"\"Discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon,\" the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began.",

"The Earth also may have a role, Wargo said.",

"The White House released the text Monday of a controversial back-to-school speech to students from Obama.",
"The uproar over Obama's back-to-school speech led The White House to release the transcript Monday.",
"Many conservatives have expressed a fear that the address would be used to push a partisan political agenda.",
"In the text of Speech, however, Obama avoids any mention of controversial political initiatives.",
"Obama repeatedly urges students to work hard and stay in school.",
"\"No matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it,\" Obama says.",
"\"This isn't just important for your own life and your own future.",

"The text of Speech was posted on the The White House Web site so people can read Speech before Speech's scheduled Internet broadcast to schoolchildren Tuesday.",
"Read text of Obama's speech to students (pdf)",
"Some of the president's critics have been adamantly opposed to the idea of an address by Obama to children.",

"\"I believe this is the greatest country on Earth, and I try to teach that to my children. ...",
"I don't want my children hearing that there's a fundamental flaw with this country and the kids need to go forward to fix it.\"",
"Hogsett, who spoke Monday shortly before Obama's remarks were released, said he wanted to read the speech before making a final judgment.",
"Amy Veasley, another parent from the Dallas area, said she was surprised by the controversy.",

"\"That's just silly,\" Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said of anyone planning to have their kids stay home because of Speech.",

"Read text of Obama's speech to students (pdf)",
"Some of the controversy over Obama's speech involved a proposed lesson plan created by the Education Department to accompany the address.",

"The letters \"would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to students's goals,\" a proposed lesson plan created by the Education Department to accompany the address stated.",

"A woman's body was found in a river in Wales, police said Tuesday, the second death from severe flooding that has hit England and Wales since late last week.",
"The body of the woman, who was not named, was found in the River Usk near the village of Talybont, in mid mid Wales close to the coast, Brecon police said.",
"Search teams had been looking for her since Sunday.",
"Talybont is about 250 miles south of Cockermouth, England, which has experienced some of the worst flooding seen in decades.",
"Friday, parts of Cockermouth were under several feet of water after heavy rainfall the night before.",
"The town sits at the intersection of two rivers, the Cocker and the Derwent, both of which burst their banks and raged through The town.",
"By Tuesday, the flood waters had receded and the clean-up and damage assessment was well under way.",
"But rain was still falling over the entire region, raising fears of further flooding in some areas.",
"Britain's Environment Agency said river levels across the county of Cumbria remained high but are unlikely to rise to levels seen last week.",
"Twenty road bridges in Cumbria were closed Tuesday, including seven that collapsed in the floods, Cumbria County Council spokesman Gareth Cosslett told CNN.",
"Also shut were eight footbridges, which are an essential means of connecting residents in riverside towns.",
"In Workington, where Cumbria Police Constable Bill Barker died in the floods last week, the two sides of the town are cut off from each other because all bridges were either washed away or closed for safety reasons.",
"\"Cumbria County Council're hoping to get a temporary road bridge installed in Workington,\" Cumbria County Council spokesman Gareth Cosslett said, describing it as Cumbria County Council's first priority.",
"\"Cumbria County Council haven't yet confirmed what Cumbria County Council're going to do or when that's going to happen, but in all likelihood Cumbria County Council're looking at a single-lane temporary bridge with traffic lights on either side.\"",

"The worst weather Tuesday was in Cumbria, where the Met Office, the UK's weather service, predicted heavy and persistent rain and accumulations of 1.2 to 2.4 inches (30 to 60 millimeters).",
"Rain and strong gusts were also forecast for Wales on Tuesday, the Met Office said.",
"The rain was expected to move through the region by Wednesday, but more was set to return by Thursday, according to the Met Office forecasts.",

"NEW YORK (CNN) --",
"Prodding Israel and the Palestinian Authority to restart talks aimed at a permanent resolution of Israel and the Palestinian Authority's decades-old conflict, President Obama dropped a demand for an Israeli settlement freeze, U.S., Israeli and Palestinian officials said.",
"Benjamin Netanyahu, left, President Obama and Abbas.",
"\"Simply put, it is past time to talk about starting negotiations.",
"It is time to move forward,\" President Obama told reporters before a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.",
"\"It is time to show the flexibility and common sense and sense of compromise that is necessary to achieve our goals,\" President Obama said.",
"President Obama first met separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Abbas on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in what President Obama called \"frank and productive\" talks.",
"The session was the first among the three leaders since President Obama took office in January.",
"George Mitchell, President Obama's envoy for the Middle East, attended Tuesday's talks.",
"Mitchell said Tuesday's talks were \"at all times cordial,\" but \"direct\" and sometimes \"blunt.\"",
"President Obama told Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that, \"The only reason to hold public office is to get things done,\" and that everyone \"must take risks for peace,\" Mitchell said.",
"Mitchell told reporters the U.S. is \"not identifying any issue as being a precondition or an impediment to negotiation.\"",
"But the United States and Israel have publicly disagreed on Israeli plans to build more housing on land the Palestinians regard as theirs.",
"Previous President Obama administration demands for a freeze have been ignored by the Netanyahu government.",
"Watch Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address peace, settlements » .",
"Abbas has so far rejected resuming talks with Israel until the Jewish state halts all settlement building in the occupied West Bank and in predominantly Palestinian East Jerusalem.",
"Arab states also have balked at the U.S. request to take confidence-building measures toward Israel until Israel freezes settlement construction.",
"Sitting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Abbas, President Obama softened President Obama's regular language on a settlement \"freeze,\" saying that Israel has had meaningful discussions about \"restraining\" settlement activity.",
"\"But they need to translate meaningful discussions about \"restraining\" settlement activity into real action on this and other issues,\" President Obama said.",
"\"President Obama told Abbas that President Obama couldn't get the settlement freeze and promised to keep trying, but that the settlement freeze shouldn't be a condition for talks and it was time to move on,\" one Palestinian aide to Abbas said.",
"Several U.S. officials said that President Obama told Abbas that although the U.S. believe a settlement freeze would create a better atmosphere for talks to begin, the lack of one should not be used an as excuse not to talk.",
"\"Let's not have the perfect be the enemy of the good,\" President Obama told Abbas, according to Several U.S. officials.",
"Watch Obama: 'We have to find a way forward' » .",
"\"It's been apparent for some time that the Israelis were going to fall short of what is necessary on the settlement freeze,\" one senior U.S. official said.",
"\"But our view is let's get to negotiations and settlements will be addressed within those final status issues\"",
"A senior Israeli diplomat said Israel agreed to not building any new settlements, no outward expansion of existing growth and to only build for \"natural\" growth within existing settlements.",
"A senior Israeli diplomat said Israel also agreed not to encourage Israelis to move to settlements, which would increase the population.",
"\"A complete settlement freeze wasn't physically or politically possible, especially in the absence of any Arab or Palestinian concessions,\" A senior Israeli diplomat said.",
"\"There was a time the gaps had significantly narrowed, but now the gaps were starting to widen.",
"The administration recognized, rather than have the gaps widen further, we should start negotiating.\"",
"The Palestinian aide to Abbas",
"said President Obama's failure to secure a settlement freeze has weakened President Obama in the eyes of the Palestinian delegation, because it casts doubt on President Obama's ability to move Israel during final status negotiations.",
"The Palestinians did win an important point, however, with President Obama making clear that the peace talks would not start from scratch, which Netanyahu had favored.",
"Rather the peace talks would take into account progress made in previous negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, the sources said.",
"A senior Israeli diplomat said that Israel would \"take into account\" the previous negotiations, but stressed Israel's longstanding position that \"nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.\"",

"(CNN) -- Who would open one of the world's biggest casinos in the depths of a global recession?",

"Ho's father Stanley is a man synonymous with the creation of Macau as the world's biggest gambling destination.",
"\"Over the past 40 years Ho's father Stanley has put Ho's father Stanley's thumbprints all over Macau.",
"I think if you look at the major infrastructure projects, whether it's the airport, the ferry terminals, Ho's father Stanley was involved in building up a lot of those,\" Lawrence Ho told CNN.",
"But in opening City of Dreams in Macau earlier this year, Lawrence Ho is trying to carve Lawrence Ho's own niche and continue to build up Lawrence Ho's own business empire.",
"\"I think gone are the days when you can open a property and 'Bang!' you would steal significant market share from others,\" Lawrence Ho told CNN.",
"\"Before City of Dreams opened City of Dreams were, like the rest of the world, a little bit wary of the timing, but I think in hindsight the world economies are doing a lot better and Macau has seen Macau's first year-on-year increase in July and August was a booming month.",
"So I think all in all City of Dreams couldn't be happier.\"",
"Lawrence Ho's company, Melco-Crown Entertainment, is independent from his father's huge portfolio of businesses and the multibillion dollar City of Dreams project is a partnership with Australian James Packer, himself the son of a media tycoon.",
"Lawrence Ho is respectful of Lawrence Ho's ailing father's achievements and the advantages that the family name has given Lawrence Ho, but also the desire the family name fostered to forge Lawrence Ho's own success.",
"\"The bigger the shadow the more we can feel the underdog syndrome.",
"... being Ho's father Stanley's son opened many doors, but at the same time I grew up in a very big family with our own issues, but all in all certainly being Ho's father Stanley's son has helped a great deal",
",\" Lawrence Ho said.",
"There are no worries about interference from the mainland -- \"I suspect that China definitely wants [Macau and Hong Kong] to do well\" -- and Lawrence Ho remains positive that Asia will see the quickest recovery from the downturn.",
"\"A lot of the Asian countries and economies have handled the [economic] crisis this time a lot better than the Asian financial crisis 10 years ago,\" Lawrence Ho said.",
"\"So I think, all in all, Asia has managed to come out of this much quicker than the rest of the world.",
"And really when people are feeling better people travel and people spend more, and you know we are in the business of providing leisure and entertainment.\""

"It was the U.S. government's version of the ticker in New York's Times Square, blasting Havana's main seaside strip with anti-Cuba slogans in 5-foot high crimson letters.",
"It symbolized the tit-for-tat diplomatic row between WASHINGTON and Havana.",
"Cuban flags flutter in front of the U.S. interests section building in Havana in 2007.",
"But the ticker at the top of the U.S. interests section in Cuba has gone blank, yet another signal the past half-century of animosity between the two countries is easing.",
"State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Electronic sign was turned off in June because Electronic sign was not considered \"effective\" as a means of delivering information to the Cuban people.",
"The scrolling electronic sign, fitted across 25 windows of the U.S. interests section, ran quotes from American heroes, such as Martin Luther King's \"I have a dream that one day Cuba will rise up,\" and Abraham Lincoln's \"No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.\"",
"It also streamed news and political messages that blamed Cuba's everyday problems on the communist regime led by Fidel Castro and Cuba's socialist economy.",
"Cuba's transportation woes, for example, were the topics of jabs such as, \"Some go around in Mercedes, some in (Russian-built) Ladas, but the system forces almost everyone to hitch rides.\"",
"The sign -- erected in 2006 by the Bush administration and billed as a way to circumvent censorship and, the Bush administration said, offer hope and freedom to Cubans oppressed by a brutal regime -- fueled a propaganda war with Fidel Castro, who referred to the U.S. interests section as \"the headquarters of the counterrevolution.\"",
"Calling Electronic sign an assault on Cuba's sovereignty by an imperialist bully, an infuriated Fidel Castro marched 1 million Cubans past the interests section in protest, dug up the U.S. mission's parking lot and blocked Electronic sign by erecting anti-U.S. billboards and 138 huge black flags to commemorate victims of so-called U.S. aggression.",
"He promised there would be no contact between U.S.-based diplomats in Havana and Cuba's foreign ministry until the sign came down.",
"Fidel's brother Raul Castro, who now rules Cuba, took down the anti-U.S. billboards this year as ties between the two countries improved.",
"In April, President Obama lifted restrictions on Cuban-Americans traveling to Cuba and sending remittances to relatives there.",
"And this month, U.S. and Cuban diplomats held U.S. and Cuban diplomats's first talks since 2003 on Cuban migration to the United States.",
"The State Department's Kelly acknowledged most Cubans couldn't read the ticker because of the counter-propaganda erected by the Cubans.",
"The \"dueling billboards,\" The State Department's Kelly said, were not promoting a productive U.S.-Cuba relationship.",
"The State Department's Kelly said measures also announced by President Obama in April to allow U.S. cell-phone networks and other telecommunication technology to operate on Cuba would do more to allow a free flow of information to the Cuban people."

"Tehran's Revolutionary Court sentenced 11 people to death after convicting 11 people of participating in post-election riots, state media reported Thursday.",
"Two of the sentences have been carried out; the rest are under appeal, the Iranian Students News Agency said, quoting a court official.",
"These are the first executions known to be related to the post-election violence that erupted across Iran in June and has continued since, Amnesty International said in a statement condemning the hangings.",
"But a lawyer for one of the men executed on Thursday disputed a key part of the official report.",
"\"the sentences were arrested two months before the elections and the sentences were in prison until the sentences's sentences were carried out.",

"\"Thursday called Thursday's home two nights ago (Tuesday night) -- two nights before the sentences was carried out, and at that point Thursday had no idea that Thursday's sentence was about to be carried out,\" she said.",
"She said the hanging violated Iranian law.",
"\"The entire process, the investigation, the trial, the handing down of the sentences and the carrying out of the sentences, were done illegally and in secret,\" she told CNN by phone.",
"\"Thursday's family and I did not have Thursday's case file.",
"A sentence must first be announced to the defendant and his lawyer and only then can A sentence be carried out, but this sentence was never announced to Thursday or myself.\"",
"She said Thursday had been forced to confess.",
"\"Thursday told me Thursday's pregnant sister had been arrested, too,\" she said.",
"\"In two sessions where Thursday was interrogated, they placed Thursday's sister in front of Thursday and told Thursday if Thursday wanted to see her free Thursday had to admit to things Thursday didn't do.\"",
"Rahmanipour's sister was later released from prison but lost the baby due to stress, Sotoudeh said.",
"Rahmanipour, 20, was charged with being a mohareb, or enemy of God, and being a member of Anjoman-e Padeshahi-e Iran (API), a banned anti-regime monarchist group, his lawyer said.",
"Amnesty International condemned the execution of Rahmanipour and the other man executed Thursday, Mohammad Reza Ali-Zamani.",
"\"These men were first unfairly convicted and now These men have been unjustly killed.",

"The court said These men were convicted of \"waging war against God, trying to overthrow the Islamic government\" and membership in armed and anti-revolutionary groups.",

"There's something lurking in the depths of Loch Ness, Scotland and it has nothing to do with monsters.",
"Footage from the Loch Ness submarine search showing two golf balls submerged in silt.",
"On a recent expedition to try and find evidence of the Loch Ness monster, U.S. research teams came across something quite unexpected -- not a prehistoric creature of the deep but thousands of plastic covered golf balls.",
"Mike O'Brien of SeaTrepid explains: \"At first we thought Golf balls were mushrooms, there were so many.",
"But when we lowered the camera, we were surprised to see that Golf balls were in fact, golf balls.\"",
"The smattering of balls were found roughly 300 yards from beach and 100 yards from the shore where it is thought locals and visitors have been using Loch Ness to practice locals and visitors's driving skills for quite some time.",
"One witness, conservationist Adrian Shine, told CNN One witness, conservationist Adrian Shine had seen locals launching balls almost 300 feet into the waters. Watch a video of balls being found at the bottom of Loch Ness.",
"However, Shine doesn't believe this to be an environmental threat: \"Certainly it's undesirable, but I don't think it will have a significant environmental impact on Loch Ness.\"",
"It seems missing and discarded golf balls may not be bad news for all concerned.",
"David Roston has built a career out of wading through rivers and diving in lakes to collect and re-sell discarded golf balls.",
"David Roston's online company www.lakeballs.co.uk have been retailing \"lake balls\" for almost 10 years, but even David Roston's powers of retrieval would be challenged by the monstrous task of recovering balls from the bottom of Loch Ness.",
"\"I've dived in various lakes and found 10 to 15 thousand golf balls at a time, it's incredible -- but we've never attempted to clear a loch!\"",
"Bobbing along at a depth of 754 feet, it is unlikely these balls of Loch Ness will ever see the light of day again.",

"(CNN) --",
"Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera, a 54-year-old drug cartel leader whose nickname means \"Shorty,\" is the most wanted man in Mexico.",
"He's also one of the most wanted men in the United States.",
"Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera leads the Sinaloa cartel, which is battling for turf along U.S. border.",
"For five years, the State Department has kept a $5 million bounty on Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera's head, calling Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera a threat to U.S. security.",
"Guzman, who leads the Sinaloa cartel, is a key player in the bloody turf battles being fought along U.S. border.",
"Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera recently upped the stakes, ordering Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera's associates to use lethal force to protect his associates's loads in contested drug trafficking corridors, according to the Los Angeles Times.",
"the Sinaloa cartel's tentacles and those of the Sinaloa cartel's chief rival, the Gulf cartel, already reach across U.S. border and into metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Seattle, Washington; St. Louis, Missouri; and Charlotte, North Carolina, Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Joseph Arabit told a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee in March.",
"\"No other country in the world has a greater impact on the drug situation in the United States than Mexico does,\" said Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Joseph Arabit.",
"See where Mexican cartels are in the United States",
"A December 2008 report by the Justice Department's National Drug Intelligence Center revealed that Mexican drug traffickers can be found in more than 230 U.S. cities.",
"So far, the United States has largely been spared the violence seen in Mexico, where the cartels' running gunbattles with police, the military and each other claimed about 6,500 lives last year.",
"It was a sharp spike from the 2,600 deaths attributed to cartel violence in 2007.",
"Once again, drug war casualties are mounting on the Mexican side at a record pace in 2009 -- more than 1,000 during the first three months of the year, Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Joseph Arabit said.",
"See who the key players are » .",
"The violence that has spilled over into the United States has been restricted to the players in the drug trade -- trafficker-on-trafficker, DEA agents say.",
"But law enforcement officials and analysts who spoke with CNN agree that it is only a matter of time before innocent people on the U.S. side get caught in the cartel crossfire.",
"\"It's coming.",
"I guarantee, it's coming,\" said Michael Sanders, a DEA spokesman in Washington.",
"Sinaloa cartel leader Guzman's shoot-to-kill instructions aren't limited to Mexican authorities and cartel rivals; Sinaloa cartel leader Guzman's shoot-to-kill instructions also include U.S. law enforcement officials, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing sources and intelligence memos.",
"The move is seen as dangerously brazen, the Los Angeles Times reported.",
"In the past, the cartels have tried to avoid direct confrontation with U.S. law enforcement.",
"U.S. officials are trying to stop the violence from crossing U.S. border.",
"The Obama administration committed to spending an additional $700 million to help Mexico fight the cartels and agreed to double the number of U.S. agents working U.S. border.",
"But $700 million pales in comparison with the wealth amassed by just one target.",
"Guzman, who started in collections and rose to lead Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera's own cartel, is said to be worth $1 billion after more than two decades in the drug trade.",
"Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera made this year's Forbes list of the richest of the rich, landing between a Swiss tycoon and an heir to the Campbell's Soup fortune.",
"Popular Mexican songs, called narcocorridos, embellish the myth of the poorly educated but charismatic cartel leader.",
"\"Shorty is the Pablo Escobar of Mexico,\" said security consultant Scott Stewart, invoking the memory of the colorful Medellin cartel leader who also landed on this year's Forbes list of the richest of the rich and thumbed his nose at Colombian authorities until he died in a shower of police bullets in December 1993.",
"Stewart, a former agent for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, gathers intelligence on the cartels for Stratfor, a Texas-based security consulting firm that helped document Guzman's worth.",
"Just a decade ago, Mexican smugglers worked as mules for Colombians, moving Mexican smugglers's cocaine by land across the U.S. border when the heat was on in the Caribbean.",
"But Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's campaign of arrests and extraditions made ghosts of the Medellin and Cali cartels.",
"The mules stepped into the power vacuum and never looked back.",
"Now The mules buy cocaine from Colombians and take The mules's own profits.",
"the cartels now bring in about 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the United States, according to DEA.",
"Mexico also is the top foreign supplier of marijuana and methamphetamine.",
"Marijuana became the cartels's biggest revenue source for the first time in 2007, bringing in $8.5 billion.",
"Cocaine came in second, at $3.9 billion, and methamphetamine earned $1 billion, a top U.S. drug policymaker told a group of U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials last year. Watch how marijuana became the cartels's top cash crop » .",
"The Mexican government recognizes seven cartels, but the Sinaloa and Gulf cartels are the major players along the U.S. border, according to the DEA agents, local police officials and security analysts who spoke with CNN.",
"the cartels's enforcers -- Los Negros for Sinaloa, Los Zetas for Gulf -- are believed to be responsible for most of the violence.",
"The status and alliances of the players continue to shift.",
"Although the DEA and some analysts disagree, others say the Zetas, a paramilitary group of turncoat soldiers and anti-narcotics police, are now running the Gulf cartel.",
"\"From what we've seen, Los Zetas have taken over the Gulf cartel,\" analyst Stewart said.",
"\"In violent times, soldiers tend to rise to the top.\"",
"soldiers are incredibly well-armed, police learned after a November raid that resulted in the arrest of top Zeta lieutenant Jaime \"Hummer\" Gonzalez Duran.",
"It was the largest weapons seizure in Mexican history -- 540 rifles, including AK-47s; 287 grenades; two rocket launchers; and 500,000 rounds of ammunition.",
"At the very least, the Zeta enforcers now have a seat at the table.",
"The DEA's Arabit testified that the Gulf cartel is now run by a triumvirate.",
"Included is Los Zetas leader Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, a former military man who is also known as \"El Lazco,\" or \"The Executioner.\"",
"The past year witnessed unprecedented bloodshed as the two cartels battled for control of the border's lucrative drug-trafficking corridors.",
"the two cartels are fighting over control of Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas; Sonora Nogales, across from Nogales, Arizona; and Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California.",
"Two years ago, the turf battle was over Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas.",
"It's all about the highways that help move the drugs.",
"Nuevo Laredo is close to the Interstate 35 corridor, and Ciudad Juarez has easy access to I-10, a major east-west interstate, and I-25, which runs north to Denver, Colorado.",
"Tijuana is also conveniently near I-10 and I-5, which heads north all the way to the Canadian border.",
"Some of the battles are internal, Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Joseph Arabit said.",
"Some are with other cartels.",
"And some, Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Joseph Arabit said, can be attributed to the cartels' \"desperate\" attempt to resist Mexican President Felipe Calderon's unprecedented attack on drug traffickers.",
"As soon as he took office in January 2007, Mexican President Felipe Calderon called out the cartels.",
"Mexican President Felipe Calderon has deployed about 30,000 troops to back up and, in some cases, do the job of local police.",
"Mexico also has extradited about 190 cartel suspects to the United States since Mexican President Felipe Calderon took office.",
"The violence involves beheadings, running gunbattles and discoveries of mass graves and huge arms caches.",
"Police and public officials have been gunned down in broad daylight.",
"the cartels's enforcers boldly display recruitment banners in the streets.",
"\"The beheadings started at the same time the beheading videos started coming out of Iraq,\" analyst Stewart said.",
"\"It was simple machismo.",
"The Sinaloa guys started putting up videos on YouTube of The Sinaloa guys torturing Los Zetas.\"",
"When Mexicans first stepped into the role of Colombians in the mid-1990s, the Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana cartels were dominant, beneficiaries of the two cartels's location.",
"Today, the two cartels are shadows of the two cartels's former selves, weakened by the deaths and arrests of the two cartels's leaders.",
"Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes died of complications from plastic surgery in 1997.",
"Known as \"The King of the Skies\" for Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes's fleet of cocaine-carrying planes, Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes was said to be undergoing liposuction and other appearance-altering procedures to avoid arrest.",
"Three of Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes's doctors were charged with killing Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes with an overdose of anesthetic during Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes's surgery.",
"Two of them later were killed.",
"Juarez cartel leader Amado Carrillo Fuentes's death, along with the 2003 arrest of Gulf cartel founder Osiel Cardenas Guillen, set the stage for the turf battle.",
"When Cardenas was extradited in 2007, Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera set his sights on controlling Juarez as well as Nogales.",
"Cardenas is awaiting trial in October in federal court in Houston, Texas, where Cardenas is accused of drug trafficking and attempting to kill two federal agents and an informant on the streets of Matamoros, Mexico.",
"Arrests and extraditions crippled the Arellano-Felix Organization in Tijuana, and last year, Joaquin \"El Chapo\" Guzman Loera made a move on that plaza as well.",
"\"Right now, they are fighting to survive much like Pablo Escobar,\" said the DEA's Elizabeth Kempshall, who heads the agency's office in Phoenix, Arizona.",
"Phoenix has become the nation's kidnapping capital, largely because of the cartels's increasing presence.",
"the DEA's Elizabeth Kempshall, who heads the agency's office in Phoenix, Arizona said that cartel leaders fear nothing more than extradition: \"That is the worst thing for any cartel leader, to face justice in the United States.\"",
