"South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn ripped through India's batsmen on the third day of the first cricket Test in Nagpur, taking eight wickets as the hosts were forced to follow on.",
"South Africa paceman Dale Steyn took a career-best 7-51 as India, resuming on 25-0 overnight, were skittled for just 233 to concede a massive first-innings deficit of 325 runs.",
"The 26-year-old, whose previous best figures were 6-49, then took the wicket of first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag as India reached 66-2 at stumps on Monday.",
"The haul took South Africa paceman Dale Steyn to 193 wickets in South Africa paceman Dale Steyn's 37th Test and gave South Africa a great chance of winning the two-match series against a side who usurped their No. 1 ranking in the five-day format late last year.",
"South Africa paceman Dale Steyn claimed five wickets in less than four overs after tea as India collapsed from 221-4.",
"\"South Africa actually had the ball changed when South Africa came out after tea because the seam had popped open on the old one,\" South Africa paceman Dale Steyn told reporters.",
"\"South Africa hoped to get a bit of reverse swing -- it worked in South Africa's favor.\"",
"South Africa paceman Dale Steyn's strike partner Morne Morkel set the tone when Steyn had Gautam Gambhir caught by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher with Steyn's first delivery of the day, with the opener not adding to his overnight score of 12.",
"South Africa paceman Dale Steyn then bowled Murali Vijay for four as the No. 3 failed to play a stroke, and South Africa paceman Dale Steyn took the vital wicket of Sachin Tendulkar, the highest run-scorer in Test history, when South Africa paceman Dale Steyn tempted the veteran to edge a drive to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher for just seven.",
"first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag then added 136 with debutant Subramaniam Badrinath as first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag smashed first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag's 18th Test ton before giving away first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag's wicket to Wayne Parnell with an easy catch to J.P. Duminy deep in the cover field.",
"first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag hit 15 boundaries in 139 deliveries -- the same amount that the 29-year-old Badrinath faced in making 56, who took India safely to tea along with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.",
"But captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni fell to left-arm spinner Paul Harris in the first over of the final session, and South Africa paceman Dale Steyn had the 29-year-old Badrinath caught at midwicket before running through the tail.",
"Proteas captain Graeme Smith made the Indians bat again, despite wicketkeeper Mark Boucher not being able to take the field due to a back injury.",
"Morkel again accounted for Gambhir as the opener misjudged an inswinger and had his castle wrecked after shouldering arms, and South Africa paceman Dale Steyn had first-innings centurion Virender Sehwag caught by Proteas captain Graeme Smith at slip for 16.",
"Vijay (27) and Tendulkar (15) added 44 in the remainder of the 23 overs scheduled to be bowled before stumps, but will face a massive task to prevent India going 1-0 down in the series.",
"Meanwhile, New Zealand took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the one-day series against visiting Bangladesh, winning the second match by five wickets in Dunedin on Monday.",
"The tourists managed only 183-8 in The tourists's 50 overs as Mushfiqur Rahim top-scored with 86, and the Kiwis reached the Kiwis's target from only 27.3 overs with Ross Taylor smashing 78 off in a 52-ball innings featuring five sixes."

"(Entertainment Weekly) -- England doesn't yet swing in the transporting, ruefully tender coming-of-age drama \"An Education.\"",
"Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard star as a couple in \"An Education.\"",
"It's 1961, and Jenny (Carey Mulligan), a bright 16-year-old schoolgirl in a tidy London suburb, nurtures aspirations of sophistication that involve smoking cigarettes and dreaming of the day Jenny can sit in a Paris cafe.",
"Beatles-era grooviness and sexual liberation haven't yet reached this corner of the Empire, where cautious, 1950s-style postwar provincialism still prevails -- the same squareness the gents across the pond in \"Mad Men\" are just beginning to bend.",
"Jenny's dad (Alfred Molina) is fearful and fussy; Mum (Cara Seymour) is resigned.",
"So the good student studies Jenny's Latin, grinding for admisson into Oxford University.",
"Life lessons don't begin until she meets David (Peter Sarsgaard), who's in his early 30s, and Jewish, and suave.",
"He's so charmant, he even dazzles Mum and Dad.",
"Being included in David's exotic, if mysteriously shady, universe -- the travel, the jazz clubs that hint at wider horizons, and, oh yes, the sex -- is like a crash course in worldliness.",
"And as this picture of times that were a-changin' demonstrates with quiet, though conventionally built, artistry, worldliness has worldliness's discontents.",
"\"An Education\" is the vivid story of how one girl became a woman -- and how Olde England morphed into the youthquake center of '60s yeah yeah yeah.",
"None of which would be quite so vivid without the beguiling performance of Carey Mulligan.",
"Carey Mulligan's very much an It Girl, with Carey Mulligan's natural elegance in a brunet upsweep à la Audrey Hepburn.",
"And Carey Mulligan's protectively partnered by Sarsgaard in the tricky job of playing sweet yet suspect, a balance he sustains with nonchalance.",
"Equally important players: Dominic Cooper and the divine Rosamund Pike as David's ever-so-knowing pals, Olivia Williams as a teacher who hates to see her prize pupil make poor choices, and Emma Thompson, steaming forth like a battleship as Jenny's headmistress.",
"The movie, in a palette of cloudy blues, is adapted from a vivid memoir by British journalist Lynn Barber and directed by gifted Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig from a screenplay of economical empathy by \"High Fidelity\" novelist Nick Hornby.",
"Afterward, you'll want to listen to the Beatles sing \"She's Leaving Home.\"",
"It might be a girl like Jenny the lads had in mind.",

"Dafoe gets rid of all Charlotte Gainsbourg's medications.",
"Dafoe will be Charlotte Gainsbourg's partner and Charlotte Gainsbourg's grief counselor, and Dafoe will see Charlotte Gainsbourg through this, if only Charlotte Gainsbourg will place Charlotte Gainsbourg's trust in Dafoe.",
"Not a good idea for either of them, as it turns out.",
"Halloween is nearly upon us, but \"Antichrist\" is a mighty strange kind of horror movie, a wrenching psychodrama for two-thirds of \"Antichrist's running time before collapsing into a steaming heap of deranged sadism and supernatural symbolism in the outrageous third act.",

"The Danish provocateur twice won prestigious honors at the Cannes Film Festival (with \"Breaking the Waves\" and \"Dancer in the Dark\") and re-energized European art cinema in the 1990s with the Dogme movement's so-called \"Vows of Chastity.\"",
"It's not often that an art-house director takes up the implements to make a horror film, and for a while, \"Antichrist\" compels with its anguished intensity and audacious stylistic choices, not least the severity that keeps the focus exclusively on this man and woman, neither of whom is named.",
"The prologue -- the child's death -- is a luxurious, slow-motion rhapsody of explicit sex, black-and-white photography and baroque music, commingling with the infant's almost ersatz tragedy and finding perfunctory counterpoint in banal close-ups of the family's washer-dryer.",
"(There may be a deliberate echo here of the famous sex scene in Nicolas Roeg's \"Don't Look Now,\" a far more keenly calibrated examination of grief succumbing to the supernatural.)",
"Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg are riveting as the ill-matched couple.",
"Dafoe's an implacable rationalist, urging Charlotte Gainsbourg to confront Charlotte Gainsbourg's fears and venture into the darkest recesses of Charlotte Gainsbourg's psyche.",
"Charlotte Gainsbourg's not sure Dafoe's ready to share that torment with Charlotte Gainsbourg.",
"Dafoe and Gainsbourg's bitter, sometimes sourly funny back-and-forth fleetingly echoes the railing, pugnacious and remorseful men and women we find again and again in Strindberg and Bergman.",
"Of course, when those great Scandinavian dramatists wanted to shock us with the ferocity of the battle of the sexes and show a married couple going at it tooth and nail, those great Scandinavian dramatists's only weapons were words.",
"Mindful that This director's up against \"Hostel,\" \"Saw\" and the like, This director ups the ante considerably.",
"Hiking to a log cabin in the mountains to uncover the apex of This director's wife's fears (it could be anywhere, but let's imagine we're in the neighborhood of Burkittsville), the doctor's little experiment in exposure therapy ends in crushed genitals and, uh, worse.",
"Much worse.",
"It's safe to say This director knows this climax is over the top: \"Chaos reigns!\" announces a fox, in perfect English, just as \"Antichrist goes off the deep end.",
"Chaos reigns all right, and Gainsbourg's traumatized mom is transformed nonsensically into a raving psycho witch-bitch.",
"This director has often been accused of misogyny for the punishments that befall This director's heroines -- spuriously, in my opinion.",
"But this time the boot is on the other foot, and for once the charge seems to stick; no matter that the first half of \"Antichrist suggests Dafoe's smug therapist is due for a comeuppance.",
"Apparently someone had a seizure when \"Antichrist showed at the New York Film Festival recently.",
"When I caught up with \"Antichrist at the Vancouver International Film Festival two weeks ago, the screening was punctuated with the single loudest shriek I've ever heard in the theatre -- that would have been when Gainsbourg gets out the scissors for a spot of ad hoc auto-surgery.",
"There also was a very vociferous walk-out: a gentleman who fairly barked \"You get what you pay for, folks\" as he made for the exit a full 20 minutes before the end.",
"That unhappy camper had a point.",
"Either This director is barking up the wrong tree, or This director's pandering to the basest instincts of an audience that's seen it all before and still demands more, more, more.",
"Beautifully shot by Anthony Dod Mantle and acted with raw conviction, \"Antichrist\" is a calamitous atrocity from a major filmmaker, nothing more and nothing less.",
"If you don't believe me, go ask the talking fox.",

"Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Brown earned a glowing probation report six months after Brown was sentenced to \"labor-oriented service\" for assaulting Brown's pop star girlfriend, Rihanna, Judge said Thursday.",
"Brown, 20, sat silently in court Thursday afternoon as Judge reviewed Brown's probation report.",
"\"It looks like you're doing really, really well,\" Judge said.",
"The police chief in Richmond, Virginia -- where Brown is being allowed to complete Brown's sentence -- reported that Brown had worked 32 days of hard labor, Judge said.",
"Schnegg said when Judge sentenced Brown that Judge wanted to see Brown do \"actual physical labor, as opposed to some type of community service.\"",
"The report on Brown's court-ordered domestic violence counseling said Brown had completed 17 out of 52 groups sessions, Judge said.",
"The agency running the sessions reported \"you are participating and doing a very good job,\" Judge said.",
"Judge rewarded Brown by signing an order allowing Brown to again travel outside the United States for concerts.",
"When Brown returns to court on May 11, 2010, for Brown's next probation progress report, Brown will be \"way over halfway there\" to completing Brown's sentence, Judge said.",
"Brown was sentenced in August to serve five years probation and to spend more than 1,400 hours in \"labor-oriented service\" for the assault conviction.",
"Schnegg also put a restraining order in place, requiring Brown to stay 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards if the two are at the same industry event.",
"Judge issued a strict warning to Brown not to violate the order, which remains in place until 2014.",
"Brown was arrested after an early morning argument inside a rented Lamborghini on a Hollywood street on February 8, 2009.",
"According to Brown's probation report, an early morning argument inside a rented Lamborghini on a Hollywood street on February 8, 2009 began over an incident at a Beverly Hills party.",
"An earlier, sworn statement by Los Angeles Police Detective DeShon Andrews said the incident began when Rihanna found a text message on his cell phone from \"a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.\"",
"The pair argued while in the car driven by Brown, the police statement said.",
"It went on to describe the assault in great detail, saying Brown punched Rihanna -- identified in the statement by Rihanna's real first name, Robyn, and the first initial of Rihanna's last name, Fenty -- numerous times and put Rihanna in a headlock, restricting Rihanna's breathing and causing Rihanna to start to lose consciousness.",
"Brown threatened to beat Rihanna and kill Rihanna, according to the police statement, and Brown bit Rihanna's ear and Rihanna's fingers.",
"Eventually, the police statement said, \"Rihanna began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away.",
"A resident in the neighborhood heard Rihanna's plea for help and called 911, causing a police response.",
"An investigation was conducted and Rihanna was issued a domestic violence emergency protective order.\"",
"The detective said Brown sent a text message nine days later, apologizing.",
"Rihanna's injuries included cuts and bruises inflicted by a large ring on Brown's right hand, which Brown used to punch Rihanna, the police statement said.",
"\"Officers at the scene observed numerous contusions and abrasions to the victim's face and forehead, as well as bruising to Rihanna's left arm near the bicep,\" it said.",
"\"They also saw abrasions to Rihanna's arms near both wrists and on Rihanna's upper chest near Rihanna's collarbone and around Rihanna's neck.",
"There were abrasions on Rihanna's left leg and on the inside of Rihanna's upper lips.\"",
"Rihanna declined to speak to the probation investigator, so the police statement's details were gathered from police detectives who interviewed Rihanna soon after the attack.",
"\"He beat me up,\" Rihanna told the police, the police statement said.",
"Brown made a public apology in July in a video statement posted on Brown's personal Web site.",
"\"I have told Rihanna countless times, and I'm telling you today, that I'm truly, truly sorry in that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better,\" Brown said in a video statement posted on his personal Web site.",
"\"What I did was unacceptable, 100 percent.",
"I can only ask and pray that you forgive me.",
"Please.\""

"As Toyota recalls millions of cars, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that an average of 25 percent of U.S. consumers who get recall notices don't follow through and fix recall notices's vehicles.",
"The CNN Fact Check Desk wondered: Is there a way to ensure compliance with auto recalls?",
"Most vehicle recalls involve free fixes for the consumer.",
"• Clarence Ditlow with the Center for Auto Safety, a consumer watchdog group, says there is not a process to ensure that auto owners comply with recalls.",
"The center says vehicle insurers have an incentive and a method to reach car owners who haven't complied fully with recalls.",
"\"Insurers have the VIN [vehicle identification numbers], and Insurers could contact the insured drivers who have failed to comply,\" Ditlow says.",
"Because states are responsible for issuing a vehicle's registration, Ditlow sees an opportunity for state governments to force compliance.",
"Ditlow says that states could refuse to renew registration until the manufacturer's fix has been made.",
"However, Ditlow says, no states have taken this step so far.",
"• According to Edmunds.com, some states do require owners to make the requisite repairs before they attempt to sell the affected car.",
"• Jeanne Salvatore, with the Insurance Information Institute, says that auto insurers will pay damage claims caused by the current Toyota defects, then go after Toyota for reimbursements.",
"• CNN Personal Finance Editor Gerri Willis says that new car dealers are prevented from selling a defective car.",
"If recall communications are deemed insufficient, the NHTSA can require further efforts from the manufacturer.",
"But there is not a mechanism at the federal level to ensure that drivers comply.",
"• Bottom line: If the NHTSA's 25 percent noncompliance figure is any indication, there could be many affected Toyota models that do not get the requisite fix under the current recall.",
"Although there have been suggestions for how to better enforce recalls, there is no mechanism in place to force drivers to make the change.",
"CNN's Jen Haley and CNNMoney's Peter Valdes-Dapena contributed to this report."

"Back home, a battle is brewing in Congress over the next lucrative contract for military uniforms.",

"a fabric called Defender M made by the TenCate company is favored by the military for a fabric called Defender M made by the TenCate company's fire-resistant and breathable properties.",
"But a fabric called Defender M made by the TenCate company is made with a type of rayon imported from Austria, which normally would violate the military's buy-American requirement.",
"This specific rayon cannot be produced in the United States for environmental reasons, so Congress passed an amendment allowing This specific rayon to be temporarily imported.",
"The extension expires, or \"sunsets,\" in 2013, but that year's defense budget is being determined now.",
"The idea of the sunset is to give U.S. manufacturers time to come up with a comparable product.",
"At stake: a defense contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.",
"American competitors have submitted alternatives, but after independent testing at North Carolina State University College of Textiles, the Defense Department concluded that TenCate's Defender M -- with its foreign-made fibers -- is the most flame-resistant.",

"Based on independent testing at North Carolina State University College of Textiles, the Army says Defender M resists fire the longest of other fabrics.",

"\"There is no American competitor that can meet or exceed it,\" Isakson said on the Senate floor.",

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, opposed Isakson's amendment, debating on the Senate floor that it \"permanently extends this waiver and will end all efforts to produce a domestic material to make military uniforms.\"",
"Sen. Jim Webb, D-Virginia, agrees with Graham that U.S. companies won't have an incentive to invest in research and development.",
"He says the exception was supposed to be temporary, and \"favors foreign suppliers of rayon over our own American companies.\"",
"He argued on the Senate floor that in due time, U.S. companies would be able to demonstrate an ability to manufacture materials that meet the Army requirements.",
"He's also worried about jobs.",

"Haitian customs officials will work out of a cargo facility because of damage at the Port-au-Prince terminal, spokesman Tim Smith said.",

"When Lidia Schaefer learned in 1998 that one of the girls Lidia Schaefer'd met -- Medhine -- had been attacked and killed by a hyena after falling behind other children during the long trek home from school, Lidia Schaefer knew Lidia Schaefer had to act.",
"Lidia Schaefer began setting aside a third of Lidia Schaefer's salary and all of Lidia Schaefer's tips, and later sold Lidia Schaefer's house and car, to raise enough money to build a school for the village.",

"\"the school's simple, but the school's nice,\" Lidia Schaefer says.",
"Though Lidia Schaefer'd hoped to name the school in memory of Medhine, the government -- which runs the school -- instead named it the Lidia Secondary School, telling Lidia Schaefer, \"We want it to be your name so that more people [will] be like you.\"",
"Lidia Schaefer has indeed inspired many others to follow Lidia Schaefer's example.",

"We're reviewing two $99 turn-by-turn navigation applications for the iPhone, TomTom and Navigon.",
"Yes, that's right, a $99 application for your phone to take the place of a stand-alone device that doesn't cost much more than that.",
"First off, if you plan to use your iPhone as a turn-by-turn navigator, you'll need some sort of mount that keeps it in constant view of the sky (and to keep you from wrecking your car while trying to look at the screen).",
"As I was driving around downtown Atlanta, Georgia, TomTom spent a good amount of time telling me TomTom couldn't get a good GPS lock, even after I dug out a window mount from my box of bits and pieces.",
"TomTom have most of the features you would expect; basically, put in a destination, and TomTom tell you how to get there.",
"TomTom can save favorites; TomTom even have a walking mode (though I haven't played with this enough to recommend it).",
"TomTom take up a ton of space, and TomTom currently cost $99 (though the Navigon had an early buy-in price of $69).",
"the Navigon also has the TomTom beat on features: An early update added text-to-speech, which means Navigon's app says the street you should turn on and not just \"turn left.\"",
"the Navigon also just released a $24.99 (intro priced at $19.99) upgrade option that will give you live traffic information.",
"I've asked TomTom about possible updates, and TomTom say TomTom're considering what features to add.",
"My early call for the best interface goes to the Navigon app.",
"And this held up the more I used both of them.",
"I find it much more intuitive; things are where I expect them to be.",
"When I want to change something on TomTom, I often find myself repeatedly clicking through the categories, trying to find a particular setting.",
"the Navigon's interface is better for me.",
"An example of the interface conundrum: When I got the Navigon, I hit the \"home\" icon to tell the Navigon to direct me to my house.",
"Of course, I hadn't set that address up yet.",
"TomTom told me I had to add it from the \"manage favorites\" menu; the Navigon app asked me if I'd like to add it and let me do it right there.",
"Bottom line .",
"Overall, my preference for the Navigon app holds true.",
"I like the look and feel of the maps better, how the Navigon app switches to night view automatically and the Navigon app's on-screen and voice alerts.",
"TomTom, by comparison, seems very low-end -- the maps aren't as nice -- and without text-to-speech, the voice prompts fall short.",
"I like to know what street I'm looking for without looking at the screen.",
"The big feather (at an additional $120) in TomTom's hat is TomTom's car kit.",
"Essentially a dock designed for your car, the device adds power, a bigger speaker and a better GPS chip.",
"a better GPS chip should help the application be more accurate with your location and provide quicker prompts when you need to turn.",
"But at that point, you'll have spent more than $200 on a navigator that uses your iPhone as its brain.",
"I just got my hands on TomTom's dock, and although it's nice and should improve the GPS performance, I'm not sure it's worth an extra $120.",
"So, down to brass tacks: Is it worth it to pay $99 for a smart phone navigation application when you could buy a stand-alone model (likely with a better GPS chip) for the same or not much more?",
"Personally, I like having it all on my phone, one unit that does everything (and I probably won't forget it in the car to be stolen).",
"Other people will probably rather have the stand-alone.",
"And of course, there's a big caveat: Google.",
"The technology powerhouse has a turn-by-turn application in beta for The technology powerhouse's Android 2 operating system.",
"It's free for phones that run Android 2.0, and word is that they're in talks with Apple to get it on the iPhone (word that brought a big hit to the stock of both GPS giants, Garmin and TomTom).",
"Who knows what's in the future for TomTom?",
"But I'll bet TomTom'll come up with something to remain at least somewhat viable."

"the National Transportation Safety Board's conclusion that Edmonds fell asleep is partly conjecture, the National Transportation Safety Board acknowledged.",
"Edmonds, a part-time trolley operator, had an opportunity for adequate sleep the day of the wreck, although investigators were not able to determine Edmonds's sleep history.",
"In addition, Edmonds had been given a break earlier in the day, had not complained to co-workers about fatigue and was found to be free of drugs and alcohol.",
"\"We cannot say for certain that Edmonds did have it (sleep apnea),\" board member Dr. Mitch Garber said.",
"But the National Transportation Safety Board concluded there was a \"high likelihood\" that Edmonds had an undiagnosed sleep disorder, largely because Edmonds was obese and because tests showed Edmonds had taken doxylamine, an ingredient commonly found in sleep aids, suggesting Edmonds had trouble sleeping during at least one of the nights leading up to the accident.",
"In addition, there is a lack of other evidence to explain why Edmonds failed to slow or stop the train, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded.",
"Tests showed that the stopped train could be seen at a distance of 764 feet, and that \"there were multiple opportunities to slow and stop this (advancing) train,\" the National Transportation Safety Board investigator Wayne Workman said.",
"\"There was not any evidence that brakes were applied.\"",
"Edmonds's westbound train was traveling at 38 mph when Edmonds' westbound train struck the other train, which was traveling at 3 mph in the same direction.",
"An estimated 185 to 200 passengers were on the two trains during the collision in the Boston, Massachusetts, suburb of Newton.",
"Damage was estimated at $8.6 million.",
"the National Transportation Safety Board also noted that the MBTA had not installed systems on the MBTA's Green Line to prevent two trains from occupying the same stretch of track, the National Transportation Safety Board said.",
"The systems, known as \"positive train control\" systems, would have prevented the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board said.",
"One year after the accident, more than 50 people were injured in another accident on the same line.",
"the accident highlights two issues that have risen to the top of the National Transportation Safety Board's concerns in recent years, positive train control and operator fatigue.",
"the National Transportation Safety Board says positive train control issues were involved in two other light rail incidents this year, a May 8 wreck on the same MBTA Green Line and a June 22 wreck which killed nine on Washington, D.C.'s Metro system.",
"\"If technology exists... on the other (MBTA) lines, why would the Green Line not have everything possible... to prevent accidents from happening,\" the National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Mark Rosenker asked.",
"\"I don't understand that as an operator; I just don't.\"",
"The Metro system had a form of positive train separation, but investigators are exploring whether that crash resulted from a circuit malfunction.",
"the National Transportation Safety Board said fatigue issues affect all forms of transportation.",
"the National Transportation Safety Board noted that two pilots fell asleep during a flight over Hawaii and that sleep issues played a role in a Cosco Busan ship incident in San Francisco, California, and a fatal bus crash in Mexican Hat, Utah.",
"NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said details that surfaced in the Boston trolley crash will guide the National Transportation Safety Board in the future.",
"\"Now it is up to the National Transportation Safety Board, because the National Transportation Safety Board now are the advocates for these changes,\" NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said.",
"Recommendations resulting from the Boston crash \"raise the bar of safety not only in this system, but across the United States.\""

"Darrel Mohler, 72, is the younger brother of Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77, according to KSHB.",

"The British government has apologized and offered compensation to hundreds of people who suffered the effects of thalidomide, a drug once prescribed to pregnant women that later was linked to major birth defects.",
"Thalidomide sufferers and campaigners hailed the move and said the move was long overdue.",
"British doctors prescribed thalidomide for expectant mothers from 1958 to 1962 to control the symptoms of morning sickness.",
"The drug, developed by a German firm, was used internationally as a sedative and hailed because overdose simply caused prolonged sleep, not death.",
"Thalidomide also was combined with other drugs to create medications for asthma, hypertension, and migraine, according to the Thalidomide Trust, which supports victims.",
"Doctors and scientists began to notice gross limb malformations in infants starting in 1960, and scientists linked it to thalidomide the next year.",
"By then, Thalidomide had affected babies from Kenya to Peru to Japan, though most of the cases were in Germany, where Thalidomide had been available over the counter.",
"There are currently 466 people in the United Kingdom whose mothers took Thalidomide when they were in the womb.",
"Most of them have two or four limbs missing, and some also can't see or hear, according to the trust.",
"One of them is Louise Medus-Mansell, who was born in 1962 with no arms or legs.",
"\"It is a bonus, something that we didn't think would ever happen,\" she told CNN about the government's apology.",
"\"There's a lot of people today that have been waiting for the move from the government that have had partners die.\"",
"Medus-Mansell, who recently had a kidney transplant, published an autobiography this year titled \"No Hand to Hold and No Legs to Dance On.\"",
"Health Minister Mike O'Brien said the government is creating a £20 million ($32.5 million) fund over three years to meet the health needs of Thalidomide victims, who are between 45 and 51 years old.",
"The money will be distributed by the trust, Health Minister Mike O'Brien said, and will help reduce further degeneration of their health as the victims grow older.",
"\"the government wishes to express the government's sincere regret and deep sympathy for the injury and suffering endured by all those affected when expectant mothers took the drug thalidomide between 1958 and 1961,\" O'Brien said in the House of Commons.",

"\"It's not easy to find, in general, someone who will be willing to travel with you and deploy with you every two years,\" Yahya Hendi said.",
"\"But Nidal Malik Hasan did want a wife who would stand by Nidal Malik Hasan, is [a] loyal American, who will help Nidal Malik Hasan do Nidal Malik Hasan's work and Nidal Malik Hasan's service for the U.S. military.\"",
"Yahya Hendi's comments about Nidal Malik Hasan's search for someone who would remain with Nidal Malik Hasan throughout Nidal Malik Hasan's military career were at odds with some statements by Nidal Malik Hasan's family.",
"Relatives have said Nidal Malik Hasan tried unsuccessfully to leave the military early -- requests that may have come after Nidal Malik Hasan contacted Hendi.",

"Authorities say Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire at a military processing center at Fort Hood Army Post on November 5, killing 13 people.",
"Hasan, who was seriously wounded in the incident, was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder -- charges that make Nidal Malik Hasan eligible for the death penalty.",
"Two other imams have told CNN similar stories about Nidal Malik Hasan's search for a wife, and about Nidal Malik Hasan's conservatism and apparent devotion to Islam -- but those accounts seem to be inconsistent with behavior Nidal Malik Hasan exhibited in the last few months.",
"The manager of a strip club near Fort Hood has told reporters that Nidal Malik Hasan visited a strip club near Fort Hood a handful of times, staying for several hours each time.",
"\"You know, for me, everything that Nidal Malik Hasan did is against the teachings of Islam.",
"Killing fellow soldiers, fellow citizen men and women, the shooting, the bloodshed, speaks of someone who did not understand Nidal Malik Hasan's faith very well.",
"Islam is against going to strip clubs, but Islam's also against killing fellow citizens,\" Hendi told CNN.",
"When taken as a whole, Nidal Malik Hasan's actions in the weeks before the attack at Fort Hood -- the giving away of Nidal Malik Hasan's possessions, Nidal Malik Hasan's sometimes conservative dress in white Muslim clothing, and Nidal Malik Hasan's previous defense of suicide bombings during presentations to classmates -- seem to be those of someone who was preparing for his own death, said CNN terrorism analyst Peter Bergen.",

"Haiti's struggling democracy has survived on international aid and the muscle of a U.N. peacekeeping mission since a 2004 revolt that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.",
"The magnitude-7.0 earthquake that struck outside Port-au-Prince has set back efforts to get Haiti back on Haiti's feet \"by many, many years,\" said Stephen Randall, a senior fellow at the Canadian International Council, a Toronto-based think tank.",
"\"I don't think all of it is lost, but it's a very serious setback,\" Stephen Randall, a senior fellow at the Canadian International Council, a Toronto-based think tank told CNN.",
"President Rene Preval's government regrouped at a police compound near the Port-au-Prince airport after nearly all of government ministries suffered heavy damage in the January 12 quake.",
"Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive put the confirmed death toll at 72,000 on Tuesday, but estimates of the total number of fatalities run more than twice that high.",
"Mark Schneider, who led the Caribbean division of the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Clinton administration, said much has been done to build a non-corrupt police force and judiciary over the past six years.",
"\"Of the Clinton administration and sort of on the institutional side, I think a lot can be salvaged,\" said Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group.",
"But Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group said efforts to redevelop Haiti's long-ravaged economy may have been set back by \"decades.\"",
"iReport:",
"Search list of the missing and the found .",
"Haiti's public infrastructure -- roads, power and sanitation systems, hospitals and schools -- was already in poor condition before the January 12 quake.",
"The flimsy homes built across Port-au-Prince collapsed wholesale during the January 12 quake, and hospitals quickly ran out of medicine.",
"Clogged roads, damaged communications and airport congestion slowed the delivery of the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of international aid pledged in the week after the January 12 quake, leading to widespread frustration and sporadic looting around the capital.",
"Once the challenges of feeding, housing and treating hundreds of thousands of ill, homeless and hungry people are behind hundreds of thousands of ill, homeless and hungry people, Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group said, Haitians from all walks of society need to reach a new \"social compact\" aimed at ending its persistent problems.",
"\"The mismanagement of the environment; the narrow, self-interested actions of the economic elite that deny taxes to the government so the economic elite can't provide education to the population; the failure to establish government agencies that can provide services -- all those things are not the consequences of natural disasters, but all those things make Haiti more vulnerable when disasters hit,\" Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group said.",
"Though Haiti's economy has grown in recent years, Haiti is still the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with four-fifths of Haiti's 10 million people living in poverty.",
"Haiti's gross domestic product of $12 billion in 2008 is a tiny fraction compared to the $14 trillion generated by the United States, Haiti's largest trading partner.",
"In addition, years of deforestation has left a mountainous country in the middle of the Caribbean's hurricane belt vulnerable to flooding and mudslides, like the ones that killed thousands in 2004.",
"And poor construction left unknown thousands of people trapped in buildings that pancaked when the earth moved last week, said John Mutter, a professor of earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University in New York.",
"Full coverage l Twitter updates .",
"Stricter building codes and honest enforcement are necessary, but \"people will never be able to build strong, expensive structures if people don't have a strong economy,\" John Mutter, a professor of earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University in New York told CNN's \"American Morning.\"",
"\"The economy of Haiti cannot put Port-au-Prince back in place,\" he said.",
"\"Port-au-Prince's a perfect storm.",
"Port-au-Prince absolutely needs external intervention from the international community.",
"We have to think of what we're doing.\"",
"Haiti's governmental budget of about $1 billion per year is derived largely from customs fees and is wholly inadequate for the physical improvements needed, Stephen Randall, a senior fellow at the Canadian International Council, a Toronto-based think tank said.",
"Emigres send back more money than that every year, but more money than that goes to individual families, not to public projects.",
"\"the international community has been pressing the Haitian government to put more stock in taxation, but in fact, the real taxation that's taking place are the remittances,\" Stephen Randall, a senior fellow at the Canadian International Council, a Toronto-based think tank said.",
"\"It's a form of taxation, family to family, friend to friend.\"",
"But Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group said the influx of reconstruction aid could be an opportunity for Haitians to rebuild its infrastructure with more concern for its environment -- and to create jobs for Haitians in its construction.",
"\"That's the way you employ a lot of Haitians,\" Schneider, now senior vice president at the International Crisis Group said.",
"Reconstruction contracts should require \"both jobs and job training.\"",
"High-resolution images of damage .",
"The United States has been heavily involved in Haiti commercially, politically and militarily for most of the last century, including occupying Haiti for nearly 20 years in the early 1900s.",
"The Clinton administration restored Aristide to power in 1994 after a 1991 coup, and a U.S. jet hustled Aristide out of Haiti again in 2004 following a rapidly spreading uprising against Aristide's government.",
"Aristide has called Aristide's removal a U.S.-backed coup, an allegation Washington denied.",
"Now The United States is the largest contributor to Haiti, while Canada -- which also has a police contingent in Haiti as part of the U.N. peacekeeping mission MINUSTAH -- is the second-largest.",

"We bought two first-class airline tickets to Peru on TACA through Cheaptickets.com.",
"But we soon found out two first-class airline tickets were economy-class seats.",
"We've asked TACA for a $1,100 refund -- the price difference between first-class and economy-class tickets -- but TACA won't budge.",
"Cheaptickets.com sent a $400 voucher that we don't want.",
"We've disputed the ticket charges with TACA, but it has denied our claim.",
"It's obvious to us we didn't receive what we paid for.",
"We've never sued anyone and I would rather not have to go there.",
"Do you have any other suggestions?",
"-- Virginia Pozo, San Francisco, California .",
"A: If you didn't get a first-class seat, you shouldn't have to pay for one.",
"TACA owes you a refund of the fare difference between the two classes.",
"And your online travel agency, Cheaptickets.com, should help you.",
"At the very least, you would expect TACA to take your side in a dispute.",
"So what happened?",
"From what I can tell, you booked what you thought was a first-class ticket through your online agent.",
"But TACA only delivered a seat in economy class.",
"In fact, TACA never treated this as a first-class reservation in the first place.",
"Was there a miscommunication between the agent and TACA?",
"Or between your agent and you?",
"Maybe.",
"As far as I can tell, Cheaptickets doesn't have a service guarantee comparable to the other big online travel agencies, which promises everything about your trip will be perfect.",
"But it's reasonable to expect that the products Cheaptickets sells will be on the up-and-up, and that if there's something wrong, Cheaptickets will fix it.",
"Cheaptickets' $400 voucher was a nice gesture, but not enough.",
"Why?",
"Two reasons: First, it requires you to buy another ticket or hotel room, and second, it doesn't come close to making up the price difference between the two tickets.",
"As I read your letter, it seems as if you spent some time on the phone with Cheaptickets and TACA.",
"Writing to the two companies might have yielded a more favorable result.",
"This is one of the rare times when you should have considered sending either a paper letter that included your confirmation and your boarding pass, or, if you're good with a PC and a scanner, an email with documents attached.",
"Receipts are important to resolving this dispute.",
"You need to prove you didn't get what you paid for.",
"Since you were doing business with an American company -- Cheaptickets -- TACA should have sided with you.",
"Invoking the Fair Credit Billing Act, the federal law that protects you from charges for goods and services you didn't accept or weren't delivered as agreed, might have encouraged TACA to see things your way.",
"I think TACA, Cheaptickets and TACA failed to meet TACA, Cheaptickets and American Express's customer-service obligations.",
"But who's responsible for your refund?",
"The correct answer is: The online travel agent who took your money and acted as an intermediary for the transaction.",
"I contacted Cheaptickets on your behalf.",
"A representative contacted you and said Cheaptickets reviewed Cheaptickets's phone transcripts and determined that it was at fault.",
"Cheaptickets refunded you $1,100 and let you keep the $400 voucher for the trouble.",

"The relationship between China and the United States is \"the most important\" bilateral relationship in the world, Victor Zhikai Gao said Monday.",
"Victor Zhikai Gao, now the director of the Beijing Private Equity Association, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that the United States should deal with Beijing \"with respect\" and not be \"too abrasive.\"",
"\"That's the minimum thing we can ask for, I believe,\" Victor Zhikai Gao said on the eve of talks between President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao.",
"Victor Zhikai Gao pointed out that China is now the United States's largest creditor nation, holding foreign reserves of more than $2 trillion, about two-thirds of which are assets that are denominated in U.S. dollars.",
"\"China-U.S. relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world,\" Victor Zhikai Gao said.",
"Obama appears keen to put past U.S.-Chinese disagreements behind Obama as Obama seeks Chinese cooperation on a host of issues from the global economy and climate change to nuclear proliferation.",
"Obama's also looking to China for leadership on how to deal with repressive regimes such as Myanmar and Sudan, both of which are friends of Beijing and major energy suppliers to China.",
"Critics of the U.S. president say Obama is downplaying what was once a central tenet of U.S. foreign policy, the promotion of human rights and democracy, in order to persuade China to help the United States achieve the United States's foreign policy goals.",
"But Obama insists the United States \"will never waver in speaking up for the fundamental values that we hold dear.\"",
"Victor Zhikai Gao acknowledged global concern about China's human rights record, admitting the situation is not perfect.",
"\"But if you look at today's human rights issues, and comparing that with what we had 30 years ago, 20 years ago, or 10 years ago, then China has made great improvements,\" Victor Zhikai Gao said.",
"Victor Zhikai Gao said China and the Chinese people are great admirers of the United States.",
"But Victor Zhikai Gao said, \"China's foreign policy is underlined by the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs.",
"If it is only up to the United States to discuss human rights issues in China, this is unbalanced.\"",
"Victor Zhikai Gao also tried to reassure critics in the United States, some of whom have accused China of manipulating China's currency to keep the cost of Chinese goods artificially low, about the impact of China's rapidly expanding economic power.",
"By some estimates, China's economy will be the same size as the U.S. economy by 2025, though there will still be a huge gap in economic output per person.",
"\"Let me make the record straight.",
"Over the past few months since the outbreak of the financial crisis, China has continued to purchase Treasury bonds issued by the U.S. government, rather than reducing Treasury bonds issued by the U.S. government in any way,\" Victor Zhikai Gao said.",
"\"So I think the American people need to realize that China has applied a very steady hand and very responsible hand in dealing with issues involving the dollar.\"",
"Victor Zhikai Gao said China has no desire to be an enemy of the United States.",
"\"Both China and the United States need to give each other due respect and need to incentivize each other.",
"And then we can work together towards a better peace and better world.\""

"\"It took CNN a while to realize, it goes back to my point of CNN were trying to make the fight fit the Army as opposed to have the Army fit the fight,\" Quantock said.",
"\"I think a lot of times CNN thought the insurgency would dissipate, CNN were working closely with the government of Iraq, CNN were trying to improve the Iraqi security forces, but at the end of the day, it didn't work out very well.",
"CNN had to get better at taking evidence off the crime scene.\"",

"At the start of this year, the rules detailed in the memo got even stricter.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Most of the world's 1.57 billion Muslims know that the Holy Quran states quite clearly that, \"Anyone who kills a human being ... it shall be as though a human being has killed all of mankind.",
"... If anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he has saved the lives of all of mankind.\"",
"Accordingly, it should come as little surprise to any reasonable observer that when Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan recently committed Hasan's shocking acts of mass murder at Fort Hood, Texas, America's Muslim community of over 7 million felt an added sense of horror and sadness at this senseless attack against the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.",
"True to form, many conservative media pundits wasted little time in pointing to reports that Hasan had said \"Allahu Akbar\" (Arabic for \"God is great\") at the start of his murderous rampage.",
"News coverage continuously showed the looping convenience store black-and-white videotape footage of Hasan wearing traditional white Islamic garb.",
"First of all, someone simply saying \"Allahu Akbar\" while committing an act of mass murder no more makes their criminal act \"Islamic\" than a Christian uttering the \"Hail Mary\" while murdering an abortion medical provider, or someone chanting \"Onward, Christian Soldiers\" while bombing a gay nightclub, would make their act \"Christian\" in nature.",
"Simply put; murder is murder and has no religion whatsoever.",
"Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan once wrote that, \"One most certainly does insult Muslims by tying Muslims's religion to movements such as terrorism or fascism.",
"Muslims perceive a double standard in this regard: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols would never be called 'Christian terrorists' even though Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were in close contact with the Christian Identity Movement.",
"No one would speak of Christo-fascism or Judeo-fascism as the Republican[s] ... speak of Islam-o-fascism.",
"[Many people also] point out that [it was] persons of Christian heritage [who] invented fascism, not Muslims.\"",
"According to Pentagon statistics, there were over 3,400 American Muslims serving in the active-duty military as of April 2008.",
"The Wall Street Journal reported that many officials believe \"the actual number of [American] Muslim soldiers may be at least 10,000 higher than the Pentagon statistics.\"",
"Thus, with thousands of patriotic American Muslim women and men proudly serving in the U.S. Armed Forces in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps it would behoove our army leaders to consider sending a strong message of American unity by appointing an American Muslim to be a part of the prosecution team against Hasan.",
"This would help show that the mass murders allegedly committed by Hasan have nothing to do with the teachings of our religion.",
"the U.S. Armed Forces can send a resounding message to all Americans and the rest of the world that the social fabric of our country will never become unraveled by murderous (and irreligious) gun-wielding felons -- whether it is a Muslim in Fort Hood, Texas, or a non-Muslim on a shooting rampage in an Orlando, Florida, high-rise less than a day later.",
"By appointing a multicultural (and multireligious) legal prosecution team made up of military lawyers of all races and religions, we can set a good example to show the rest of the world that our American legal justice system is truly equal for all people, regardless of all people's race, religion or socioeconomic status.",
"The larger point is that Muslims in America completely disavow and wash our hands of any acts of murder (or terrorism) claimed to be performed in the name of our religion.",
"Acts of mass murder, regardless of Acts of mass murder's time or place, are simply ungodly criminal acts that have no religion whatsoever.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Arsalan Iftikhar."

"(CNN) --",
"The death of Exodus Tyson after a treadmill accident highlights the issue of hidden dangers in the home.",
"Exercise equipment injures more than 25,000 children each year according to one safety organization.",
"While most parents know enough about covering outlets and keeping poisonous household cleaning products locked away from the reach of most parents's small children, most homes still have less obvious safety hazards that can have disastrous results for curious tots.",
"\"Parents often overestimate Parents's child's intelligence, and underestimate their abilities,\" explains Chrissy Cianflone, Director of Program Operations at Safe Kids USA, a nonprofit organization focused on preventing accidental childhood injury.",
"Case in point: falls from windows.",
"Though a parent might not regularly open windows in the house, it does not mean a child can't or won't.",
"Placing furniture close to windows is a commonly overlooked safety hazard; it allows children to easily climb up and out of the opening.",
"Relying on screens to protect against falls is an inadequate solution, since most screens can't hold the weight of a child.",
"Window guards are a safe choice: Window guards offer protection and cost less than $30 each on average.",
"Window treatment cords are another common, hidden pitfall.",
"To prevent accidents, parents should tie up any cords from blinds or curtains, high enough out of a child's reach, and make sure there is no furniture placed close by that would invite little ones to climb.",
"Cianflone warns against unwittingly placing changing tables and cribs within reach of the window coverings.",
"Dr. Gupta: Watch more on hidden dangers in the home » .",
"Power cords are a source of manifold dangers.",
"Power cords can cause electrical burns, strangulation, tripping, and serious head trauma from appliances being pulled down by little hands or feet.",
"Parents should unplug and secure power cords whenever possible, and move appliances out of the way.",
"With respect to home gyms, more than 25,000 children each year are injured from exercise equipment, including stationary bicycles, treadmills and stair climbers, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.",
"Many of those injuries are related to power cords.",
"Police in Phoenix, Arizona, say that Exodus Tyson was injured and later died after being strangled by a cord connected to the treadmill, possibly while playing with the machine.",
"Her mother performed CPR after the accident but Exodus was in need of life support by the time authorities arrived.",
"Since it's usually impractical to unplug a piece of exercise equipment after every use, parental supervision is the primary means of avoiding accidents.",
"Cianflone warns that if you have a home gym, \"make sure to limit your child's access to that room.",
"Keep the door shut and locked if you can, and if you have to leave that room, take your child with you.\"",
"Furniture tip-overs are another major unsuspected hazard.",
"A 17-year study published in May 2009 by the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that capsized furniture sent an average of 15,000 children a year to the emergency room.",
"The most commonly toppled furniture pieces are dressers and flat-screen television sets.",
"Pulling out one or more dresser drawers decreases the stability of the piece if the piece isn't attached to the wall.",
"Inexpensive wall mounting kits, available at hardware and baby stores, can secure up to 400 pounds of weight.",
"Similarly, flat-screen TVs -- lighter and less stable than their predecessors -- should be mounted to a wall when possible.",
"If that's not an option, Cianflone recommends positioning the set far back on a stand, enough so that a child climbing a stand would still be unable to reach the set.",
"Parents should also keep tabs on toy and product recalls, in case any purchases are found to be potential hazards.",
"A simple method to stay aware is to sign up for recall alerts via email from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.",
"A child's ability to get into certain types of trouble varies with the age and developmental stage of each individual child.",
"For general guidelines, parents can go to Safe Kids for an age-based breakdown of hazards.",
"Most critical is for parents to be aware of parents's particular child's abilities and level of curiosity.",
"\"Nobody knows a child better than the parent, so it's important to be well-educated so a parent can take the steps necessary to mitigate hazards for their own child,\" says Cianflone."

"With Wi-Fi access at airports, hotels, and aboard airplanes, business travelers don't have to look very hard for a wireless Internet connection.",
"Wi-Fi hotspots at airports may put users' computers at risk, but no more so than at coffee shops, experts say.",
"But with these public wireless hotspots becoming more prevalent, in addition to more travelers using smart phones for Web access, are business travelers putting themselves at a security risk?",
"The short answer, some technology security experts say, is yes.",
"But some technology security experts add that the use of Wi-Fi at these spots is no riskier than at a coffee shop.",
"\"It's a shared medium, and if you can connect to it, someone else can connect to it and monitor your traffic,\" said Marty Linder, a senior member of the technical staff at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute CERT/Coordination Center.",
"\"That has nothing to do with the security of the network.",
"It's just the nature of the beast.\"",
"For Fran Hanna, the convenience isn't worth the risk.",
"The sales representative from Chapin, South Carolina, would frequently bring Fran Hanna's computer on business trips and access Wi-Fi through Fran Hanna's hotels.",
"Hackers tapped into Fran Hanna's computer, resulting in inappropriate material being sent through Fran Hanna's account.",
"Fran Hanna had to get her computer restored twice, which cost Fran Hanna's $900.",
"And while Fran Hanna still isn't sure where Fran Hanna was when Fran Hanna picked up the malware, Fran Hanna said the only wireless device Fran Hanna will bring with Fran Hanna as Fran Hanna travels is a cell phone for voice calls.",
"On the other hand, picking up public wireless isn't a major concern to Brian Fitzpatrick, the CTO of a technology firm in Alpharetta, Georgia, and a frequent business traveler.",
"Brian Fitzpatrick, the CTO of a technology firm in Alpharetta, Georgia, and a frequent business traveler generally avoids transmitting sensitive personal or company data using these hotspots.",
"But as Brian Fitzpatrick, the CTO of a technology firm in Alpharetta, Georgia, and a frequent business traveler sees it, having Brian Fitzpatrick, the CTO of a technology firm in Alpharetta, Georgia, and a frequent business traveler's information stolen \"is more likely to happen in some face-to-face transaction than it is even online.\"",
"In addition to open networks, experts say the physical loss of devices poses a threat for business travelers.",
"The combination of replacement cost, detection, forensics, data breach, lost intellectual property costs, lost productivity, and legal, consulting and regulatory expenses sets a company back an average of $49,246 per lost laptop, according to a study released in April by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by the Intel Corporation.",
"However, lost laptops with encryption saved companies nearly $20,000, compared with those that did not have encryption, according to a study released in April by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by the Intel Corporation.",
"Encrypted disks safeguard data by scrambling information on them.",
"They unlock that information only when the user enters the proper passcode.",
"\"I don't know how many times we've heard about laptops being stolen and laptops have no encryption on laptops.",
"And it pretty much means that the bad guys can get to your data.",
"Immediately.",
"They don't have to know your password or anything, they can just get to it,\" said Patrik Runald, chief security adviser for F-Secure, an Internet security company.",
"And many businesses do not yet require many businesses's employees to use passwords on their smart phones, leaving lost devices \"woefully unprotected,\" said Pat Clawson, CEO and chairman of Lumension Security.",
"Tips for staying secure .",
"Despite the potential for security breaches, there are simple steps you can take to keep yourself armed as you connect wirelessly on your travels: . • Use an encrypted disk to safeguard the information on your laptop or smart phone, Linder said, and make sure you log off of your computer when you're not using your computer.",
"In most cases, when you hibernate your computer, your computer's memory is recorded unencrypted.",
"\"You cannot for convenience close your lid, let your computer go to sleep and believe that if someone steals your computer, your data is protected, because it's not,\" Linder said.",
"Runald recommended free software called TrueCrypt (truecrypt.org) that you can use to encrypt the content on your local drive and on USB flash drives.",
"• Turn off your wireless and Bluetooth connections if you're not using wireless and Bluetooth, said Clawson.",
"\"Those are electronic doorways into your devices.",
"On my BlackBerry, I can sit there and scan for open Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connections.",
"I [can] then gain access to what's in your files you may have stored in there, your contacts.\" • Use an anti-glare shield on your computer to prevent others from spying, Linder suggested.",
"With such shields, you must be face-to-face with the screen to be able to read the screen.",
"• Regularly back up the data on your laptop or smart phone, Runald said.",
"Several companies offer backup services, but you can also save information on other computers and disks.",
"Even if your data is encrypted -- eliminating your fear of sensitive information getting stolen -- backing up the data will make it easy to transfer to a new phone or laptop, Runald said.",
"• If you lose your smart phone and don't want others to access your information, call your provider and request that the device be wiped of information, Runald said.",
"Runald also suggested considering software that allows you to send a text message to your phone that will remotely wipe it and block others from accessing its content.",
"• To ensure that you're visiting an authentic Web site and not getting duped by a phishing scheme, some experts suggest logging onto those sites through your company's VPN connection.",
"But technology company CTO Fitzpatrick says technology company CTO Fitzpatrick hesitates to use VPN from a public Wi-Fi hotspot: \"Even though all the traffic is encrypted,\" technology company CTO Fitzpatrick said, \"if your machine got compromised in some way, it is sort of a gateway into your network.\""

"Clinton said Wednesday -- the eve of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's inauguration for a second term -- that now is a \"critical moment\" for Afghanistan, because Karzai has a \"clear window\" to demonstrate what kind of government Karzai will lead.",
"Speaking to staff members at the U.S. Embassy, Clinton said there is a careful and thoughtful review of U.S. policy going on \"because we know this is a turning point.\"",
"\"We want to be a strong partner to people of Afghanistan,\" Clinton said, \"and to government.\"",
"Clinton met with embassy staff before meeting with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.",
"Afterward, Clinton had dinner with Karzai.",
"The two, flanked by their senior aides, met at a second-floor reception room at Karzai's palace.",
"They spoke about Clinton's travel schedule and about the planning for Karzai's Thursday inauguration.",
"They also spoke about the difficulty in accommodating all the Afghans who want to attend the ceremony.",
"government expects about 800 people to attend in all; some will have to stand.",
"Clinton's attendance at Karzai's Thursday inauguration will show U.S. support for Karzai's government after an election that was tainted by fraudulent balloting.",
"Karzai is under intense international pressure to clean up corruption within Karzai's government, and Clinton was to deliver a tough message on the need to show results, a senior U.S. official tells CNN.",
"The senior U.S. official, who is not authorized to speak publicly about details of Clinton's meeting with Karzai, said the Obama administration already is discussing with the Karzai government specific \"benchmarks\" that will require Afghan ministries to be certified as \"open and transparent\" if Afghan ministries are to receive direct payments from the U.S. government.",
"If ministries are not certified as open and transparent, ministries can continue to receive technical assistance, but not direct U.S. funding, a senior U.S. official says.",
"If the assessments determine that the ministry needs additional specific technical assistance to be certified, the U.S. will provide it.",
"Clinton's first visit to Afghanistan as secretary of state comes as Obama is deciding whether to send up to 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, as requested by McChrystal.",
"A major factor in Obama's decision on how many troops to send to Afghanistan centers on government's ability to partner with the U.S. government to fight the Taliban.",
"In the past several weeks, Eikenberry has sent two cables to Washington expressing reservations about troop increases amid lingering concerns about Karzai and the uncertainty about government Karzai will put in place.",
"On Sunday, Clinton said Clinton had \"made it clear\" that the U.S. government won't provide civilian aid to Afghanistan's government agencies without an effective certification process that shows the money will be spent on its intended purposes.",
"\"We believe that President Karzai and government can do better,\" Clinton said on the ABC broadcast \"This Week,\" adding that Obama's administration was \"looking for tangible evidence\" that the Karzai administration would be more responsive to the needs of the Afghan people.",
"Clinton cited the need for government to crack down on fraud and \"demonstrate there's not impunity for those who are corrupt.\"",
"a senior U.S. official says the U.S. government has certified departments in the Ministries of Public Health, Communications and Finance to receive direct U.S. government assistance.",
"During the next three months, a senior U.S. official says, it will assess the Ministries of Education; Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock; and Rural Rehabilitation and Development.",
"Two assessments will be carried out -- financial and procurement -- at each ministry.",
"If Two assessments determine that the procurement, financial, and expenditure systems are adequate, the U.S. government will certify them as having the capacity to accept direct assistance.",
"government already has announced government is creating a commission that will investigate allegations of corruption.",
"the U.S. government also says the U.S. government will create a tribunal in the Justice Ministry that will prosecute corruption cases that a commission that will investigate allegations of corruption has investigated.",
"a senior U.S. official says the U.S. government is not trying to \"hector, lecture or look over the shoulder\" of government, but the U.S. government does want to make sure U.S. tax dollars are spent wisely.",
"the U.S. government, a senior U.S. official says, \"wants an Afghan-led process to fight corruption.\"",
"Clinton told the NBC program \"Meet the Press\" on Sunday that the primary U.S. mission in Afghanistan is defeating al Qaeda, rather than making a long-term commitment to rebuild Afghanistan.",

"Specifically, their lungs have slightly more, and larger, emphysema-like \"holes\" than those with less smoke exposure, says Gina Lovasi, M.P.H., Ph.D., of Columbia University, and her colleagues.",

"Case was brought by an Italian woman, Soile Lautsi, who objected to the crucifixes on the walls in her two sons' classrooms.",
"Italian courts had ruled earlier that the cross was a symbol of Italy's history and culture, prompting Lautsi to take her case to the European court in Strasbourg, France.",
"It awarded her 5,000 euros ($7,400) in damages Tuesday.",
"Italy said Italy would appeal the European Court's verdict and leading Catholic figures expressed astonishment and anger.",
"The ruling \"is cause for bitterness and many perplexities,\" the Italian Conference of Bishop said in a written statement.",
"The bishops said The bishops were still studying The ruling, but The ruling appeared to result from \"ideological bias\" and a lack of understanding of \"the multiple significances of the crucifix.\"",
"\"The ruling does not take into account the fact that in Italy the display of the crucifix in public places is in line with the recognition of the principles of the Catholicism as 'part of the historical patrimony of the Italian people,' as stated in the Vatican/Italy agreement of 1984,\" The bishops said.",
"The Vatican in Rome, which has been the seat of the Catholic Church for most of the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history, did not officially respond to The ruling.",
"But Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re told the leading Italian daily La Repubblica Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re could not understand The ruling, and that no one with common sense could have expected The ruling.",

"London, England (CNN) --",
"Britain said Wednesday Britain will appeal a European court ruling that certain police stop-and-search powers are a breach of human rights.",
"Under Section 44 of Britain's Terrorism Act 2000, uniformed officers may stop any pedestrian or vehicle and search them, regardless of whether uniformed officers have reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.",
"Human rights groups complain the rules are subject to abuse, but Britain calls the powers an important tool in the fight against terrorism.",
"British Home Secretary Alan Johnson said British Home Secretary Alan Johnson was disappointed in Tuesday's ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, because the appeals had previously gone through the British courts and been rejected.",
"\"We are considering the judgment and will seek to appeal,\" British Home Secretary Alan Johnson said in a statement.",
"\"Pending the outcome of this appeal, the police will continue to have the powers available to the police.\"",
"London's Metropolitan Police said that because of sensitivity and concerns about use of the stop-and-search powers, they are only being used at \"pre-identified significant locations\" like landmarks, tourist sites, and crowded places, or where certain police operations are taking place.",
"The case began in September 2003, when police stopped and searched two British nationals who were on their way to a London demonstration.",
"Kevin Gillan was on Kevin Gillan's bicycle and wearing a backpack when police searched Kevin Gillan.",
"Kevin Gillan was allowed to go after about 20 minutes, the court said.",
"Pennie Quinton is a journalist who was on Pennie Quinton's way to cover a London demonstration when police stopped and searched Pennie Quinton, the court said.",
"Police ordered Pennie Quinton to stop filming even though Pennie Quinton showed Pennie Quinton's press cards; the official record of Pennie Quinton's search said Pennie Quinton was stopped for about five minutes, though Pennie Quinton says Pennie Quinton thought it was closer to half an hour.",
"Kevin Gillan and Pennie Quinton complained that the police use of the stop-and-search powers under Section 44 breached the European Convention on Human Rights -- specifically Gillan and Quinton's right to liberty and security, right to respect for private and family life, freedom of expression, and freedom of assembly and association.",
"The case reached the Law Lords, Britain's highest court, but the Law Lords dismissed the appeal in March 2006 because the Law Lords said the Law Lords weren't convinced her search disrespected Gillan and Quinton's private lives.",
"Even if her search did not respect Gillan and Quinton's private lives, the Law Lords found, the procedure was in accordance with the law and was proportionate to counterterrorism efforts.",
"Kevin Gillan and Pennie Quinton then appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, which heard The case in May and issued its ruling Tuesday.",
"\"It's fantastic news after a long struggle,\" Kevin Gillan said, in a statement issued by the human rights group Liberty, which took The case to court.",
"\"I look to the government for a strong response.\"",
"Said Quinton, in another statement issued by Liberty, \"There has to be a balance between private life and security.",
"the court has shown that Section 44 is an invasion of people's right to liberty and privacy.\"",
"the court found that the powers amounted to a clear interference with the right to respect for private life.",
"a clear interference with the right to respect for private life was compounded by the public nature of the search, because it brings an element of humiliation and embarrassment, the court found.",
"Legal safeguards were not adequate enough to curb the wide discretion police had to use the powers, the court found.",
"the court said that wide discretion was a cause for concern.",
"\"The officer's decision to stop and search an individual was one based exclusively on the 'hunch' or 'professional intuition,'\" the court wrote in the court's decision.",
"\"Not only was it unnecessary for him to demonstrate the existence of any reasonable suspicion; he was not required even subjectively to suspect anything about the person stopped and searched.\"",
"Because officers have no obligation to show a reasonable suspicion, it is \"almost impossible to prove that the power had been improperly exercised,\" the court said.",
"As a result, the court said, the stop-and-search powers were not in accordance with the law.",
"Liberty called on Britain to ensure that Section 44 is only applied when authorities believe it is necessary to prevent terrorism.",
"It should be applied to specific areas and for not longer than 24 hours, Liberty said, which would prevent authorities from applying the measures on a rolling basis and over large parts of a city.",
"Liberty also called on Britain to publish notice that authorization for Section 44 has been given."

"About 123,000 U.S. troops are in Iraq now, and President Obama says all combat forces will be gone by the end of August 2010, leaving as many as 50,000 noncombat troops to advise and train Iraqi forces before leaving by the end of 2011.",

"It has long been the final destination for terminally ill patients who want to end their lives, offering what many consider to be a dignified way out of their suffering.",
"But now, Switzerland is proposing legislation that would limit the practice of assisted suicide to people who are terminally ill -- or ban the practice of assisted suicide altogether.",
"If either proposal is adopted, people suffering from a chronic illness or who have a mental illness could no longer legally take advantage of assisted suicide.",
"The Swiss Federal Council says The Swiss Federal Council doesn't necessarily want to end the country's liberal laws, which allow someone to assist a suicide as long as they are not motivated by their own interests.",
"But The Swiss Federal Council says organizations that provide assisted suicide in Switzerland -- such as the well known Dignitas clinic -- are increasingly testing the boundaries of the law, requiring the government to lay out specific guidelines and restrictions.",
"Recent cases have drawn more attention to \"suicide tourism,\" in which people who can't legally seek assisted suicide in people who can't legally seek's home countries travel to Switzerland, where it is allowed.",
"Dan James, a 23-year-old British rugby player, ended James''s life at a Swiss assisted suicide clinic last year.",
"James' had been paralyzed from the neck down in a rugby accident.",

"Purdy's case went all the way to the Law Lords, Britain's highest court, who ordered the director of public prosecutions to issue a new policy on assisted suicide.",
"He did so last month.",
"Multiple sclerosis is chronic disease and some times can be terminal, leaving open the question whether Purdy might qualify if the new Swiss proposals are approved.",
"At least 117 Britons have traveled abroad for an assisted suicide since 2002, at an average of two a month, according to Dignity in Dying, which advocates giving terminally ill adults the option of assisted suicide.",
"Switzerland's Parliament is now considering two proposals from the federal council, the seven-member cabinet that heads the government.",
"Consultations on two proposals from the federal council, the seven-member cabinet that heads the government will last until March.",
"The first option would ensure that the person committing suicide is doing it of their own free will, and that the person assisting them is not driven by personal gain.",
"The first option would also make assisted suicide an option only for those suffering from a terminal illness -- not for those suffering from a chronic or mental illness.",
"The suicidal person would have to declare that The suicidal person has given \"long and proper consideration\" to The suicidal person's decision,\" according to the federal council.",
"That is intended to prevent spur-of-the-moment decisions that have not been thought through, the federal council says.",
"Patients must also present two different doctor's certificates from two different doctors, one stating that Patients have the legal capacity to decide Patients's options for Patients, and the other stating that Patients suffer from an incurable physical illness that will result in death within a short period.",
"For those with chronic or mental illnesses, the federal council said the federal council supports \"comprehensive treatment, care and support, in the sense of palliative medicine\" rather than suicide.",
"Those assisting with suicide face criminal charges if Those assisting with suicide don't make sure of these steps, the federal council says.",
"Those assisting with suicide must also discuss alternatives to suicide with the patient, and must not accept payment for Those assisting with suicide's services that would exceed the costs and expenses of the suicide.",
"\"This provision ensures that those assisting a suicide are not driven by personal gain, and that those assisting a suicide's prime motivation is to help the person who wishes to die,\" the federal council says.",
"\"the federal council firmly believes that, by determining these duties of care, the negative aspects and abuse of organized assisted suicide can be prevented, and 'suicide tourism' can be reduced.\"",
"the federal council says the federal council prefers stricter legislation for assisted suicide, but the federal council is also giving Parliament a second option for a complete ban on organized assisted suicide.",
"\"a second option for a complete ban on organized assisted suicide rests on the belief that individuals working in assisted suicide organizations are never actually motivated by purely altruistic reasons, and may develop a close relationship with the suicidal person,\" the federal council says.",
"Dignity in Dying said it welcomes the first option, restricting assisted suicide to terminally ill, mentally competent people.",
"\"Individual patient autonomy has to be balanced against the need to protect potentially vulnerable people,\" the group said in a statement Thursday.",

"Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) --",
"Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office contacted the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan about reports ambassador warned against sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, a Karzai spokesman told CNN Thursday.",
"Two U.S. officials confirmed to CNN that ambassador sent two cables to Washington expressing reservations about troop increases amid uncertainty over Karzai government.",
"One official, who spoke on condition of not being identified because of the sensitive nature of two cables, said the two communications \"expressed concern and reservations about troop increases in Afghanistan\" until more is known about Karzai government after Karzai's recent re-election.",
"Separately, a senior U.S. official also confirmed the existence of two ambassador classified cables.",
"a senior U.S. official said ambassador expressed reservations about troop increases because of lingering concerns about Karzai and uncertainties about Karzai government Karzai is going to put in place.",
"a senior U.S. official also asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of two cables.",
"In Kabul, ambassador's office would not confirm to Karzai's office the reports about two cables, Karzai spokesman Seyemic Herawi said.",
"Karzai spokesman Seyemic Herawi said Karzai will not comment on the reports about the cables without more information from the U.S. Embassy.",
"Should more troops be sent to Afghanistan?",
"Share your thoughts .",
"ambassador previously expressed worry about corruption in Karzai government and Karzai government's ability to partner with the United States to fight the Taliban.",
"A senior State Department official told CNN that President Obama's administration has questions about Karzai's behavior, suggesting it has been inconsistent.",
"Asked for an official response on reports of two cables, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said the U.S. Embassy does not comment on private messages, but did confirm that there had been correspondence between ambassador and Karzai.",
"In Washington, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly declined to comment Thursday on ambassador's communications.",
"\"We are not going to get into the details of this kind of advice,\" State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.",
"\"This is a privileged channel of communication.",
"They have the right to receive this advice in a confidential way,\" State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.",
"\"ambassador has been providing this kind of advice and analysis to the president and secretary since ambassador arrived,\" he said.",
"\"Karzai really deserves the right to be able to gather all of this information from all of the different principals, people involved in the shaping of this policy.\"",
"Earlier, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said, \"We won't discuss classified documents publicly, but, as we have said for months, success in Afghanistan depends on having a true partner in the Afghan government.\"",
"Initial reports of cables sent by ambassador appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times.",
"All three newspapers attributed Initial reports of cables sent by Eikenberry to senior U.S. officials, without identifying senior U.S. officials.",
"The developments came as Obama told Obama's war council Wednesday that the U.S. troop commitment to Afghanistan is not open-ended, and then asked for revisions to options Obama previously received for sending more troops, a senior administration official told CNN.",
"The war council -- comprising top Cabinet, Pentagon and administration officials -- met with Obama for the eighth time to discuss a request by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan for up to 40,000 more troops.",
"The meeting lasted more than two hours, according to a senior administration official.",
"\"The president and Obama's team discussed the length of time that it would take to implement the options Obama's been presented,\" a senior administration official said.",
"\"The president believes that we need to make clear to Karzai government that our commitment is not open-ended.",
"After years of substantial investments by the American people, governance in Afghanistan must improve in a reasonable period of time to ensure a successful transition to our Afghan partner.\"",
"In particular, Obama pushed for revisions in proposed plans for troop increases to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to Karzai government, a senior administration official said.",
"Earlier, a senior administration official and a U.S. military official independently told CNN that one option presented to Obama calls for sending about 34,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, in addition to the 68,000 already committed to Afghanistan.",
"a senior administration official said the plan would send three U.S. Army brigades, totaling about 15,000 troops; a Marine brigade of about 8,000 troops; a headquarters element of about 7,000 troops; and 4,000 to 5,000 support troops.",
"three U.S. Army brigades, totaling about 15,000 troops would be brought in gradually, in three-month intervals, according to a senior administration official.",
"The troops would be spread across Afghanistan, mainly focusing in the south and southeast, where much of the fighting is, according to a senior administration official.",
"one option presented to Obama has been a favorite at the Pentagon in recent weeks, a senior administration official added.",
"That is only one option, a senior administration official emphasized.",
"Three other options, a senior administration official said, would be \"different mixes,\" or \"different components of it.\"",
"Despite reports to the contrary, Obama has not decided the number of U.S. troops Obama will send to Afghanistan, White House officials said.",
"Such reports are \"absolutely false,\" Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.",
"And anyone who suggests otherwise, \"doesn't have, in all honesty, the slightest idea what they're talking about.\"",
"Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee urged Obama in a letter sent Wednesday -- Veterans Day -- to agree to the request for additional troops by U.S. military leaders in Afghanistan.",
"The letter, signed by 10 Republican committee members, said success in Afghanistan will require enabling local leaders to govern and secure local leaders's country without substantial international assistance.",

"Just because we were embarrassed by these highly edited tapes, which don't tell the whole story again, and hopefully that will come out, doesn't mean that these people didn't break the law in order to embarrass and attack the organization,\" ACORN said.",
"ACORN was referring to the former White House employee who recorded conversations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky about White House intern Monica Lewinsky's sexual encounters with President Clinton, which ultimately led to his impeachment.",
"ACORN was in the headlines during last year's presidential campaign after GOP allegations of falsifying voter registration applicants.",
"Some of its voter registration workers were prosecuted, and some other employees resigned.",
"But after the recent release of videos, the political criticism grew.",
"In videos, some ACORN workers advised the undercover conservative activists how to set up a prostitution business involving underage, foreign girls.",
"Along with firing employees, ACORN also is conducting an investigation through an independent auditor.",
"The Justice and Treasury departments are investigating ACORN, too.",
"The U.S. Census Bureau has terminated ACORN's involvement in The U.S. Census Bureau's public outreach program, both chambers of Congress have voted to deny federal funding to ACORN, and several states are looking into ACORN operations.",
"In addition, ACORN suspended tax preparation services ACORN carried out as part of an Internal Revenue Service program.",
"And Bank of America announced Bank of America is pulling Bank of America's funding of an ACORN housing affiliate until Bank of America is satisfied that all issues related to ACORN have been resolved.",
"ACORN contends ACORN also has been responsive to allegations that some canvassers falsified voter registration applications and turned in those who falsified voter registration forms.",
"\"We were punished for following the law and doing the right thing, and that part of the story was never told,\" she said.",
"\"And so nine months later it finally began to resonate with folks that we had not had one individual who voted fraudulently in the presidential election because of an ACORN registration -- not one Mickey Mouse, not one Donald Duck, not one New York Jet, Giant or any other fraudulent person.\"",
"One of the shadows over ACORN is an embezzling incident involving Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke.",
"ACORN acknowledged that the founder's sibling embezzled nearly $1 million from ACORN.",
"ACORN disputed reports that a subpoena from the Louisiana attorney general's office showed that the amount was up to $5 million.",
"ACORN said the claim is \"speculation, \"completely false\" and not based on any documentation.",
"ACORN attributed the contention to two \"disgruntled former board members.\"",
"ACORN's group works in poor precincts across the country considered Democratic turf.",
"ACORN said e-mails from Karl Rove, when he was Bush's top political adviser, show that ACORN was targeted to stop ACORN's voter registration efforts because \"we were moving too many minorities to vote\" and \"changing the power dynamics\" in local elections.",
"Such critics of ACORN believe \"we needed to be stopped,\" ACORN said.",
"\"I do think that after 40 years of going after the rich and powerful, I think you make some powerful enemies.",
"I think since 2004, things have been ramped up.\"",
"ACORN said ACORN has been demonized and news about ACORN has served as a Republican fund-raising tool.",
"ACORN said this form of \"modern-day ACORN McCarthyism has got to stop.\"",
"\"Last week, members of Congress were asked, 'Are you now or have you ever been members of ACORN?",
"Everybody should take pause at that.",
"Everybody should say, 'Wait a minute.",
"This is not how we have discourse,' \" ACORN said, making reference to the familiar phrase from McCarthy-era hearings in the 1950s: \"Are you now or have you ever been a communist?\"",
"Appointed to ACORN's post in 2008, ACORN said ACORN has been working hard to improve the group's management practices to \"restrengthen, reorganize and put together the 21st-century ACORN.\"",
"\"I'm proud to say that they've made it clear to ACORN that I will continue to be tortured for at least another year.",
"If the board thought or our membership thought that I should resign, I would do it in a heartbeat,\" ACORN said.",
"\"I don't think, however, it is fair to judge me as I'm cleaning up a previous administration, and now we have real documentation that these are political attacks on us, which is unprecedented.\""

"(CNN) --",
"I spoke at TED in 2006, the year they started to put the talks online.",
"I'm told that since then, the talk has been downloaded more than 3.5 million times in more than 200 countries.",
"The number of people who've seen it may be 20 times that or more.",
"I have a stream of e-mails, tweets and blog posts round the world from young people, parents, students, teachers, cultural activists and business leaders of all sorts.",
"young people, parents, students, teachers, cultural activists and business leaders of all sorts tell me how deeply young people, parents, students, teachers, cultural activists and business leaders of all sorts relate to the talk and often that young people, parents, students, teachers, cultural activists and business leaders of all sorts've seen or shown it many times at meetings, conferences, workshops and retreats.",
"Parents tell me Parents've shown the talk to Parents's children; young people tell me young people've shown the talk to young people's parents.",
"young people say young people've laughed and sometimes cried together and had a different sort of conversation as a result.",
"Changing the conversation is one of the primary purposes of TED.",
"Why has the talk had such an impact?",
"I think there are several reasons.",
"To begin with, the talk is short.",
"the talk is part of the genius of TED.",
"In a world of instant messaging, rampant data and overspecialization, brevity is a virtue.",
"(Even so, I've seen blogs that strongly recommend the talk but warn that it's almost 20 minutes long.)",
"A second factor is that, based on the audience's reaction, the talk is entertaining and funny at times, which always helps.",
"And I'd just had my hair cut.",
"We may never know how much that simple act contributed to the global appeal of the talk.",
"But the real reason for its impact is that what I'm saying clearly resonates deeply with people of all ages and across many different cultures.",
"I believe that the argument is becoming more urgent by the day.",
"What is the argument?",
"In a nutshell, it's that we're all born with immense natural talents but our institutions, especially education, tend to stifle many of immense natural talents and as a result we are fomenting a human and an economic disaster.",
"In education, this vast waste of talent involves a combination of factors.",
"They include a narrow emphasis on certain sorts of academic work; the exile of arts, humanities and physical education programs from schools; arid approaches to teaching math and sciences; an obsessive culture of standardized testing and tight financial pressures to teach to the tests.",
"The result is a disastrous waste of talent among students and their teachers.",
"To sense the scale of this disaster, you only have to look at the alarming rates of turnover among faculty and the levels of drop out, disaffection, stress and prescription drug use among students.",
"Even for students who stay the course and do well in education, the rules of success have changed irrevocably.",
"Just look at the plummeting value of college degrees.",
"The waste of talent in education is not deliberate.",
"Teachers are as anxious about this as everyone else, but many of Teachers feel trapped in the awkward groping of national reform policies, many of which misunderstand the problems as well as the solutions.",
"The waste of talent in education isn't deliberate, but The waste of talent in education is systematic.",
"The waste of talent in education happens in part because the dominant systems of education are rooted in the values and demands of industrialism: the dominant systems of education are linear, mechanistic and focused on conformity and standardization.",
"Nowadays, the dominant systems of education're buttressed by major commercial interests in mass testing and by the indiscriminate use of prescription drugs that keep students' minds from wandering to things they naturally find more interesting.",
"The tragedy is that meeting the many social, economic, spiritual and environmental challenges we now face depends absolutely on the very capacities of insight, creativity and innovation that the dominant systems of education are systematically suppressing in yet another generation of young people.",
"Reforming the dominant systems of education is not enough.",
"The truth is that we are caught up in a cultural and economic revolution.",
"This revolution is global in scale and unpredictable in nature.",
"To meet This revolution, we need a revolution in the culture of education.",
"the culture of education has to emerge from a richer sense of human ability.",
"To shape the culture of education, I believe we have to leave behind the manufacturing principles of industrialism and embrace the organic principles of ecology.",
"Education is about developing human beings, and human development is not mechanical or linear.",
"It is organic and dynamic.",
"Like all living forms, we flourish in certain conditions and shrivel in others.",
"Great teachers, great parents and great leaders understand those conditions intuitively; poor ones don't.",
"The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community.",
"There is no alternative.",
"There never was.",
"The good news is that all around the world there are wonderful examples of people and organizations that are making determined efforts to do things differently in education -- and in business, health care, architecture, communities and cultural programs.",
"There are examples of these all over the TED Web site and in the expanding ripples of the TED prizes.",
"TED is a great example of the spirit of collaboration and inter-disciplinarily that is the essential to a genuine culture of creativity.",
"What are the principles of this culture?",
"Towards the end of my talk, I mention a book I was working on called \"Epiphany.\"",
"a book I was working on called \"Epiphany was published this year under a much better title, \"The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything\" (Viking) and is now in 11 languages.",
"It draws on conversations with people in science, business, education, the arts, sports and more on how education, the arts, sports and more found in education, the arts, sports and more the talents and passions that have shaped education, the arts, sports and more's lives.",
"But a book I was working on called \"Epiphany is not about education, the arts, sports and more: a book I was working on called \"Epiphany's about you and your children, if you have any; and your friends too, if you have any of those.",
"There's a wealth of talent that lies in all of us.",
"All of us, including those who work in schools, must nurture creativity systematically and not kill it unwittingly.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Sir Ken Robinson."

"\"Aquino was the agent of change in Philippine democracy,\" said Ray Donato, the nation's consul-general in Atlanta.",
"Aquino, the first woman to lead the Philippines, had been battling colon cancer since March 2008 and died of cardio-respiratory arrest at 3:18 a.m. Saturday (3:18 p.m. Friday ET), said Mai Mislang, a spokeswoman for Aquino's son, Philippine Sen. Benigno Aquino III.",
"Funeral arrangements were being set up, Mai Mislang, a spokeswoman for her son, Philippine Sen. Benigno Aquino III said.",
"Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has also announced a 10-day mourning period for the former president, said Ray Donato, the country's consul-general in Atlanta.",
"\"Aquino was the agent of change in Philippine democracy, and almost all the Filipinos I know revered Aquino during Aquino's presidency,\" Ray Donato, the nation's consul-general in Atlanta said.",
"Aquino had been born into a wealthy family and was educated in the United States.",
"Aquino had not been involved in politics before Aquino's husband, opposition leader Benigno \"Ninoy\" Aquino Jr., was gunned down at Manila's airport in August 1983 as he returned from exile.",
"The political novice took over the leadership of Aquino's husband's movement after his death and challenged Marcos in a 1986 election, making a yellow dress Aquino's trademark and bolstered by the support of the country's Roman Catholic churches.",
"Marcos had been backed by the United States, the former colonial power in the Philippines, for two decades as a stalwart anti-communist.",
"Marcos and Marcos's wife Imelda were friends of then-President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy.",
"But widespread allegations of electoral fraud and a mutiny by the country's military led the Reagan administration to withdraw the Reagan administration's support, and Marcos went into exile in Hawaii.",
"Aquino took office in a country with a $28 billion debt, widespread poverty and a persistent Marxist insurgency.",
"Aquino put in place a U.S.-style constitution that limited presidents to a single six-year term and survived seven coup attempts -- including one that was supressed with American help.",
"Aquino also oversaw the closure of the major U.S. military bases in the country before leaving office in 1992.",
"the major U.S. military bases in the country had been a bulwark of American power in the Pacific since the early 1900s and employed nearly 80,000 Filipinos, but Aquino's opponents argued the country was too dependent on the United States.",
"Aquino announced in 1990 that it was time to begin negotiating the \"orderly withdrawal\" of U.S. forces."

"Nighttime raids in which troops enter private homes have sparked problems for U.S. and NATO forces.",
"The raids are viewed as overly invasive -- a violation of the privacy of the home in Afghan culture -- and they can turn violent.",

"Some troops and local commanders have expressed concerns that recent rules can inhibit Some troops and local commanders's ability to take action under fire.",

"\"Iran has committed Iran to follow all the obligations and the like,\" Jalili said, speaking through a translator provided by the Iranian delegation in Geneva.",
"\"What I want to emphasize is that Iran's cooperation with the agency and the way Iran look specifically regarding to nuclear energy is that Iran believe that nuclear warheads are illegitimate and no country should have these kind of weapons.\"",
"He said nuclear energy for peaceful purposes \"is the right of every sovereign state and country.\"",
"Watch more from the Jalili interview » .",
"There were a number of developments at a meeting Thursday in Geneva between Iran and world powers over Iran's nuclear program; Solana said a meeting Thursday in Geneva between Iran and world powers over Iran's nuclear program \"represented the start of what Iran hope will be an intensive process.\"",

"The senior U.S. official told reporters that the enrichment would happen in Russia.",
"\"The potential advantage of the third-party enrichment proposal, if the third-party enrichment proposal's implemented, is that the third-party enrichment proposal would significantly reduce Iran's [low-enriched uranium] stockpile which itself is a source of anxiety in the Middle East and elsewhere,\" the senior U.S. official told reporters in a briefing Thursday.",

"Christian is reunited with Christian's uncle and grandmother in Beijing.",
"Christian is Christian Norris -- Christian's 17 now and Christian stood there unmoved as Christian's father and uncle wept; perhaps because to Christian both men are distant memories.",
"\"I don't really remember my dad that much,\" Christian said quietly \"I just remember my uncle, who raised me much of the time.\"",
"Christian's low-key, almost stone-faced demeanor was in stark contrast to Christian's father Jin Gaoke.",
"\"There are no words to describe the joy I felt when I saw Christian.",
"Christian is like a piece of flesh from my own body.\"",
"Christian's uncle Jin Xiaowang chimes in.",
"\"The hair on Christian's arms makes Christian look American, Christian has lots of hair on Christian's arms.\"",
"Christian set this day in motion three years ago when Christian asked Christian's adopted mother Julia Norris to find Christian's Chinese family; a search from Maryland in the United States, to a remote village in central China, which would eventually involve hundreds of China's savvy Internet users.",
"Despite Julia's background as a federal and private investigator and Julia's work on the TV show \"America's Most Wanted,\" Julia's search kept proving fruitless.",
"Police and orphanage records were incomplete and Christian's memories were vague.",
"\"The first obstacle was that I was focusing on the wrong province.",

"Both the village name and Shanxi province were wrong -- Julia was looking in the wrong place hundreds of miles to the east. Watch the emotional reunion » .",

"Christian also likes garlic ... and from Christian's memory Christian's family grew potato and corn, which gave us a hint of the region Christian used to live.\"",

"It was just sad.\"",
"Christian still has much to talk about with Christian's Chinese family, \"but I'm pretty clear that I wasn't abandoned.\"",

"Christian's Chinese relatives all say His Chinese relatives all respect Christian's decision about where to live but hope that just maybe Christian will want to stay.",

"The news on the housing market continues to be bleak as bleak can be.",
"In just one example, the January numbers from the Case-Shiller index -- a popular collection of data about repeat sales of single-family homes -- show that home values in Phoenix are down almost 50 percent from home values in Phoenix's peak in July 2006.",
"Clark has bought several foreclosures over the years and has Clark's eye on another.",
"There are similarly dismal numbers in Las Vegas and Miami (both down more than 40 percent) and San Francisco and San Diego (both down 40 percent).",
"But you've got to realize that housing stats are skewed by bubble markets such as these, where people were trying to get rich quick on someone else's money.",
"Yet still, sometimes you can be left feeling like there's no good news in all of this.",
"Well, I have some for you.",
"Half of all home purchases in February were by first-time homebuyers, according to The Financial Times of London.",
"Those buyers were taking advantage of incredible interest rates and low housing prices, not to mention new tax incentives for first-time homebuyers.",
"How about you?",
"If you want to get in the game, you've got to look REO -- and I'm not talking about the classic rock band REO Speedwagon!",
"REO stands for real-estate owned property.",
"It's where you buy directly from the bank after they foreclose on a property.",
"Banks are notoriously bad property managers.",
"It's not uncommon for Banks to let a property go unloved and neglected for several months.",
"Before long, the property starts looking like a haunted house on Halloween.",
"The grass is unkempt, the shutters are falling off and windows may be broken.",
"That's when you can really swoop in and steal a deal.",
"I've bought a number of foreclosures over the years.",
"My most recent purchase was last year, but I'm thinking about buying another foreclosure I saw while filming with my HLN show crew.",
"Watch Clark finding a bank-owned bargain » .",
"I'm particularly a fan of houses that smell!",
"The odors can usually be eliminated very easily.",
"But buyers are quickly turned off by a stinky house, and that means I can really underbid on my offer.",
"If you want to start looking for REOs in a specific part of town, try finding a real estate agent who farms that area.",
"You can also try searching the web by visiting sites such as HUD.gov, HomeSales.gov, EmailForeclosures.com and Trulia.com.",
"When searching for foreclosures or distressed property in the single-family home market, be on the lookout for several things: an established neighborhood that's 10 years or older; a neighborhood that is mostly owner-occupied; and a house that is structurally sound with cosmetic damage only.",
"My rule of thumb has always been that you want to buy 20 percent below fair market value for homes and 30 percent below fair market value for condos.",
"Speaking of condos, the condo market in particular has a lot of hazards.",
"When you buy a condo, you're buying an obligation and a commitment in a condo association.",
"Do not buy in a building that has been recently constructed.",
"You want to look for established condo buildings that have been there six years or longer.",
"With established buildings, you know that most people are paying most people's condo fees.",
"And finally, remember that foreclosures and REOs are just part of a larger category of \"people problem\" houses.",
"\"people problem\" houses are the kinds of houses that sit on the market as wounded ducks because the owners endured job loss, divorce, relocation or any other of a host of troubling scenarios.",
"The real key to finding a deal is to know the local market conditions where you're buying.",
"Go after the properties that are REOs for 45 days or longer.",
"Lenders are usually unrealistic about the pricing of properties on Lenders's books for about the first 6 weeks.",

"(CNN) --",
"A controversial policy that limits the amount of time NATO troops can hold Afghan detainees is under review by U.S. Defense Department officials, a spokesman for U.S. Defense Department told CNN.",
"The review of what's known as the \"96-hour rule\" is under way as CNN questioned whether the rule was putting soldiers in danger.",
"Under the rule, NATO troops have 96 hours to either turn over detainees to Afghan authorities or release them -- a rule put in effect to avoid Abu Ghraib-like offenses.",
"\"U.S. Defense Department are currently reviewing the rule, but have yet to make decisions about how U.S. Defense Department wish to proceed in light of some of the obvious problems associated with it,\" Geoff Morrell, deputy assistant secretary of defense, told CNN in a statement.",
"\"As soon as U.S. Defense Department have something concrete to say about U.S. Defense Department's way ahead with respect to this aspect of detainee operations, U.S. Defense Department will of course share it with the Afghan government, our allies in the fight and, of course, the public at large.\"",
"NATO forces fighting in Afghanistan have operated under the rule since December 2005.",
"But soldiers interviewed by CNN said the rule could put them in danger because the rule forces them to release detainees in a short time span.",
"The rule, contained in a directive outlining International Security Assistance Force detention policies, resulted from consultations with U.S. military and Afghan commanders, said James Appathurai, spokesman for NATO.",
"CNN's Abbie Boudreau's blog: At the 96th hour .",
"\"NATO have to balance the requirement for protecting NATO's soldiers with the reality that Afghanistan is a sovereign country, that there must be limits on the time NATO can detain Afghans before handing Afghans over to Afghan authorities,\" James Appathurai, spokesman for NATO said.",
"\"Afghan authorities can also talk with detainees to extract information.",
"It is not as though the interrogation needs to end when we hand them over to Afghan authorities.\"",
"Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. Central Command, however, said Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. Central Command was not convinced that 96 hours was enough time -- particularly for high-value targets.",
"\"Ninety-six hours is not enough if you are going to ensure that they stay behind bars, obviously,\" Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. Central Command told CNN after a question and answer session in Atlanta.",
"\"Again, there has to be a process by which the individuals that need to be detained are detained, or that if the individuals that need to be detained're handed off to Afghan officials that there's confidence in the system working.\"",
"James Appathurai, spokesman for NATO announced the rule in December 2005.",
"At CNN's request, NATO compiled statistics on what has happened to detainees since the agency began keeping such records in 2006.",
"Under the rule, about one in four detainees has been released.",
"U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who was in Afghanistan last year and who is a colonel in the Air Force Reserve, said the rule puts soldiers in danger.",
"\"The one story I hear told over and over and over again [is] 'Senator Graham, the rule makes no sense.",
"the rule is putting our folks at risk for no higher purpose.",
"the rule needs to change,'\" Graham said.",
"\"So the level of frustration is now turning to anger, and quite frankly, here's what's going to start happening -- we're going to take less prisoners.",
"They're going to start shooting these folks.\"",
"Graham said Graham is not satisfied about how the rule was first implemented.",
"\"I've been asking for months now, 'Who the hell made the rule up?",
"Why did you pick 96 hours versus 80 hours or a hundred hours?",
"What's the source document?",
"What analysis went into whether or not this is an effective tool to deal with problems that we have in Afghanistan?'\" he said.",
"\"I can't get anyone to tell me how the rule was formed, whose idea the rule was and how the rule became policy.\"",
"The case of Roger Hill, a former Army captain who received a general discharge for his role in the questioning of 12 detainees, prompted CNN's investigation of the rule.",
"Those 12 men had worked on Hill's base in Afghanistan, including one who was Hill's trusted interpreter.",
"Hill was the commander in charge of the Wardak Province in eastern Afghanistan for much of 2008.",
"Hill said Hill feared the enemy was tracking Hill's every move and suspected an inside threat.",
"\"Out of a 90-man company, we had 30 wounded, to include two killed in action,\" Hill said.",
"Hill told CNN that Hill's headquarters sent a team to the base to detect possible spies.",
"a team screened cell phone activity to find out which Afghan civilians working on the base might be working for the Taliban.",
"\"It turned out that it wasn't just one or two or three, but we actually had a full dozen,\" Hill said.",
"Hill's trusted interpreter was one of them.",
"Angry and frustrated that Hill's trusted interpreter might be sabotaging missions, Hill detained all 12 men in a small building on the base.",
"When Hill took all 12 men in a small building on the base, the 96-hour countdown began.",
"the rule is designed to give the Afghan government control over detainees and avoid abuses like what happened at the Iraqi prison Abu Ghraib in Baghdad.",
"But Hill said the rule does not work, and many times dangerous suspects are released because there's not enough time to gather evidence.",
"The other problem, Hill said, was that the evidence against all 12 men was too sensitive to hand over to Afghanistan.",
"Hill was ordered not to share classified intelligence with Afghanistan for fear it could be used against U.S. soldiers in future battles.",
"\"So we're in this Catch-22, where they're saying, 'Hey Afghanistan'll take all 12 men off your hands, but give Afghanistan the evidence,'\" Hill said.",
"\"And I'm saying, 'I can't do that because there are technologies and techniques utilized that I can't sacrifice for this one particular case that will be used again in a fight later on.'",
"'Well, if you can't give Afghanistan the evidence, then Afghanistan can't take all 12 men off your hands.'",
"So, the clock continues to tick.\"",
"As the clock ticked toward the 96-hour NATO deadline, Hill made a decision that would cost Hill Hill's military career.",
"\"I decided that I needed to break protocol and interrogate them myself,\" Hill said.",
"\"I took three gentlemen outside, sat three gentlemen down, walked away, and fired my weapon into the ground three times, hoping that the men inside, left to all 12 men's own imagination, would think that all 12 men really needed to talk.\"",
"Hill walked back inside.",
"\"And sure enough, some of the detainees started to talk,\" Hill said.",
"What the detainees told Hill was enough to convince the Afghans to take all 12 men into custody, including Hill's interpreter.",
"Hill said Hill felt Hill had made the correct decision to protect Hill's soldiers, but the Army charged Hill with detainee abuse, leading to Hill's discharge from the military.",
"And all 12 men ended up being released, despite the confessions, according to the Army investigators.",
"No one knows where all 12 men are now and what all 12 men're doing."

"With its launch of iPhoto 09, Apple has begun showing some reasons why it's worth enduring the hassle of geotagging your photos.",
"Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president, unveils iPhoto 09 at Macworld Tuesday.",
"It's generally not easy right now to label your photos with information about where you took the pictures -- the process usually is done with special software to marry the photos with location data taken from a separate GPS receiver.",
"Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, demonstrated what you can do with iPhoto at the Macworld 2009 keynote Tuesday.",
"iPhoto works best with photos that already have been tagged.",
"That's getting more common, as GPS hardware support becomes less of a rarity.",
"For example, Nikon's Coolpix P6000 has a built-in GPS receiver, and Nikon has begun selling Nikon's GP-1 GPS receiver, which can plug into Nikon's SLR's flash mount so location data is embedded in the photo.",
"Apple's iPhone can geotag Apple's iPhone's own photos, and camera manufacturers say GPS support in cameras has become a matter of when, not if.",
"But the software also can help you tag your own images.",
"Clicking a photo flips it over, letting you type in a location, then showing the spot using a map.",
"(Google supplies back-end mapping services).",
"Helpfully, iPhoto then can spread that location data to other photos with similar time stamps, and similar time stamps can be bundled together into a group called an event.",
"OK, but what can you do?",
"Once you have geotagged photos, what can you do with them?",
"For one thing, sift through them geographically using iPhotos' new Places interface.",
"Viewing an iPhoto event can show an associated collection of pushpins on a map, and clicking each pin shows the photo.",
"For another, you can search for photos based on where you took photos, not on whatever filing system you might use.",
"iPhoto can handle geographic hierarchies, so if you labeled a photo with \"Eiffel Tower,\" it'll find it with a search for \"France\" or \"Paris.\"",
"Last, you can create photo books based on location.",
"For people who want to create albums of people who want to create albums of their travels's travels, this is a good idea, especially since you can use the tags both for selecting photos to print and to add maps into the book itself.",
"There's no support for the painful part of geotagging, though: extracting location data from a GPS unit.",
"There are other programs that can handle that chore, including Microsoft's Pro Photo Tools, Breeze Systems' Downloader Pro, or GPS Photo Linker.",
"iPhoto is bundled with Macs, along with other members of the iLife suite: iMovie, Garage Band, iWeb, and iDVD.",
"People who have earlier versions can upgrade to iLife 09 for $79.",
"Tag, you're it .",
"In some glorious future, computers might be able to understand the content of your photos just by \"looking\" at them, letting computers retrieve just what you want when you ask.",
"But for now, it's mostly up to you to add metadata, textual information such as titles, captions, star ratings, and geotags.",
"If you want to find pictures of the Sydney Opera House, you'll have to know when you took pictures of the Sydney Opera House, what folder you tucked pictures of the Sydney Opera House into, or hope you labeled pictures of the Sydney Opera House with appropriate tags.",

"(CNN) --",
"If you're on Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking site, you could be the next victim.",
"Experts say cybercrooks are lurking just a mouse click away on popular social networking sites.",
"That's because more cyberthieves are targeting increasingly popular social networking sites that provide a gold mine of personal information, according to The FBI.",
"Since 2006, nearly 3,200 account hijacking cases have been reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.",
"It starts with a friend updating his or her status or sending you a message with an innocent link or video.",
"Maybe your friend is in distress abroad and needs some help.",
"All you have to do is click.",
"When the message or link is opened, social network users are lured to fake Web sites that trick social network users into divulging personal details and passwords.",
"The process, known as a phishing attack or malware, can infiltrate users' accounts without users''s consent.",
"Once the account is compromised, the thieves can infiltrate the list of friends or contacts and repeat the attack on subsequent victims.",
"Social networking sites show there is ample opportunity to find more victims; the average Facebook user has 120 friends on Facebook.",
"\"Security is a constant arms race,\" said Simon Axten, an associate for privacy and public policy at Facebook.",
"\"Malicious actors are constantly attacking Facebook, and what you see is actually a very small percentage of what's attempted.\"",
"As some social networking sites experience monstrous growth, some social networking sites are becoming a new -- and extremely lucrative -- frontier for cybercrime.",
"Facebook says Facebook has 300 million users, nearly the size of the U.S. population, and Facebook continues to attract users outside the college student niche.",
"From February 2008 to February 2009, Twitter, a micro-blogging site where users post 140-character messages known as tweets, grew 1,382 percent to more than 7 million users.",
"\"They [cybercriminals] are very adept to using social engineering,\" said Donald DeBold, director of threat research for CA, an Internet security company.",
"\"Your friend is in trouble traveling in another country, 'I lost my wallet.",
"I need help.'",
"They exploit the curiosity aspect out of human nature.\"",
"A few decades ago, malicious software and viruses were usually the result of a prank, but Internet security experts say today's attacks are profit-driven.",
"A study from the Indiana University in 2005 discovered that phishing attacks on social networks operated with a 70 percent success rate.",
"These users had fallen for the scam, opened the foreign link and released personal information.",
"Cybercriminals are employing phishing and malware attacks for a number of reasons, including trying to redirect users to sites where profit is fueled by the number of visitors.",
"They also try to elicit private information like passwords and bank account numbers to perform scams.",
"Early this year, Twitter experienced several phishing attacks in which a Web page that looked identical to the widely recognized light blue Twitter page was a hoax.",
"Twitter warned users to double-check the URL to ensure they were visiting the correct site.",
"The Internet Crime Complaint Center received more than 72,000 complaints about Internet fraud in 2008 that were referred to law enforcement agencies for further investigation.",
"These cases involved financial losses amounting to $264.6 million, an increase from 2007.",
"Each person lost an average of $931.",
"\"Most of us would want to help a friend in need, but if it's an online friend, and they want you to wire money, you should double-check,\" FBI spokesman Jason Pack said.",
"Security experts said it makes sense that cybercriminals are turning to social networking sites.",
"Personal information is abundant on sites like Facebook and MySpace.",
"Each time users give out valuable information like birth dates or addresses, users could be providing hints about users's password, security experts say.",
"The American Civil Liberties Union has expressed concern about the information visible through Facebook quizzes and applications.",
"\"They'll have access to all that information, so they can sell it, they can share it, they can do an awful lot with it,\" Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for privacy-related issues with the ACLU, told CNN.com in September.",
"Many Internet security experts consider the first virus attack on the PC to have occurred in 1986.",
"By the early 1990s, viruses transmitted on floppy disks became ubiquitous.",
"When the World Wide Web became widely available that same decade, viruses, worms and malware became problems in e-mail accounts, frustrating users who clicked on messages thought to be legitimate.",
"In the new millennium, the most common form of malware attack has become known as drive-by downloads.",
"While surfing on Google or Yahoo, spyware or a computer virus is automatically and invisibly downloaded on a computer, requiring no user interaction for a computer to be infected.",
"\"We are on the verge from shifting from the World Wide Web being the No. 1 victim of infecting to social network,\" said Mikko H. Hypponen, chief of research technology at F-Secure Corp.",
"F-Secure Corp.'s company sells anti-virus software and malware protection programs.",
"\"It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.\"",
"Social networks are fighting the aggressive attacks from cybercriminals.",
"Most sites have information pages dedicated to educating users about the risks of Internet scams.",
"Users can become a fan of \"Facebook Security\" and receive updates on how to protect Users's accounts.",
"One of the most common pieces of advice given by security experts is to change passwords frequently.",
"Facebook has also developed complex automated systems that detect compromised accounts.",
"They spot and freeze accounts that are sending an unusually high number of messages to their friends.",
"Company security officials said Facebook is a closed system, which can be helpful in erasing phony messages from all accounts.",
"At News Corporation's MySpace.com, News Corporation's creates blacklists of phony accounts to prevent people from clicking on a faulty link.",
"Hemanshu Nigam, first chief security officer for News Corporation's, said News Corporation's warns about suspicious links and educates users about the harm phishing and malware attacks can bring.",
"\"News Corporation's are prepared for malware attacks,\" he said."

"Dean McDermott told Dean McDermott's then-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, that Dean McDermott'd been having an affair with Tori Spelling and that Dean McDermott'd found Dean McDermott's soul mate, Mary Jo Eustace recalled Tuesday on HLN's \"The Joy Behar Show.\"",

"Susan Atkins, shown here after her indictment in the Manson murders, was denied parole again Wednesday.",
"Parole hearing was the 13th for Susan Atkins, 61, who is battling terminal brain cancer.",
"Held at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, California, Parole hearing stretched to more than six hours.",
"The panel set another hearing for Susan Atkins in three years, said Michele Kane, spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.",
"Susan Atkins was 21 when Susan Atkins and other followers of Charles Manson participated in a two-night rampage that left seven people dead and terrorized the city of Los Angeles in August 1969.",
"Susan Atkins and the others -- Manson, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Charles \"Tex\" Watson -- were initially sentenced to death in the slayings of five people, including Sharon Tate, and two additional deaths the following night.",
"Their sentences were automatically commuted to life in prison when the Supreme Court struck down the nation's death penalty laws in 1972.",
"Watch Susan Atkins, victims' kin speak » .",
"By Susan Atkins's own admission, Susan Atkins, known as Sadie Mae Glutz within the Manson family, held Sharon Tate down as Sharon Tate pleaded for mercy, and stabbed the actress 16 times.",
"Sharon Tate was eight months pregnant.",
"In a 1993 parole board hearing, Susan Atkins said Sharon Tate \"asked me to let Sharon Tate's baby live. ...",
"I told Sharon Tate I didn't have any mercy on Sharon Tate.\"",
"After killing Sharon Tate, according to historical accounts of the slayings, Susan Atkins scrawled the word \"pig\" in blood on the door of the home Sharon Tate shared with Polanski's husband, director Roman Polanski.",
"Polanski was not home, but three of Sharon Tate's house guests were also slain by the killers, as was a teenager who was visiting the home's caretaker in his nearby cottage.",
"In an interview scheduled to air Friday on CNN's \"Larry King Live,\" Linda Kasabian, a former Manson follower who was the prosecution's star witness against Manson and Atkins, recounted the slayings.",

"As of earlier this year, Susan Atkins was paralyzed over 85 percent of Susan Atkins's body and could not sit up in bed or be moved into a wheelchair, according to a Web site maintained by Susan Atkins's husband and attorney, James Whitehouse.",
"Susan Atkins has been described as a model prisoner who has accepted responsibility for Susan Atkins's role in the slayings and now shuns Manson.",
"But Tate's sister, Debra Tate, told CNN in an e-mail in March that she does not think any Manson family member convicted of murder should ever be set free, saying the slayings were \"so vicious, so inhumane, so depraved, that there is no turning back.\"",
"\"The 'Manson Family' murderers are sociopaths, and from that, The 'Manson Family' murderers can never be rehabilitated,\" Tate said.",

"\"Unlike the reader, or the people who seem to think Manson was cool, I can't think about it for an hour or so and then go on with my life.",
"Just like the families and friends of the victims, this is with me every day.",
"I have to wake up every day with this and, no matter what I do for the rest of my life and no matter how much I give back to the community, I will never be able to replace what my crime took away.",

"\"the release is only the latest in a series of unprecedented steps by the president to increase openness in government,\" Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform said.",

"According to Interpol's statement, the Rwandan arrest warrant says Uwayezu was alleged \"to have acted individually and as part of a conspiracy to plan and commit genocide by instigating Hutus to kill Tutsis in the area of Gikongoro, as director of the Groupe Scolaire Marie Merci college in Kibeho.\"",
"Uwayezu is accused of \"participating in meetings with government and military authorities which allegedly planned the extermination of the Tutsi ethnic group\" and \"complicity in the massacre of some 80 students in May 1994 in the college which Uwayezu headed.\"",
"Uwayezu arrived in Italy in 1997, took an alias, and was working as a vicar at the Church in Empoli commune near Florence when Uwayezu was seized, Interpol said.",
"Uwayezu was identified after Interpol's fugitives unit received information and pictures from Rwandan authorities.",
"The Archdiocese of Florence issued a statement about the arrest two days ago, saying The Archdiocese of Florence hopes the justice system will come up with the truth about the case.",
"But, The Archdiocese of Florence said, \"The Archdiocese of Florence stand by the fact that Uwayezu has always declared Uwayezu's estrangement to the events in question and The Archdiocese of Florence accompany Uwayezu in prayers.\"",

"Don Guido Engels, the head of the parish and a priest, told the ASCA news agency that \"Uwayezu never cultivated feelings towards another ethnic group.",

"\"This operation is a credit to law enforcement officers and agencies in Italy and Rwanda.\"",
"Two years ago, Interpol created a unit dedicated to searching for fugitives in the genocide who were wanted by Rwanda and the U.N.-sponsored International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.",
"So far, seven people wanted by Rwanda and five wanted by the U.N.-sponsored International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda have been arrested.",
"Police in Uganda recently arrested and extradited a man who is among the most wanted suspects from the Rwandan genocide.",
"Idelphonse Nizeyimana was picked up at a hotel in Rubaga, a suburb of the capital, Kampala.",
"The arrest, by Ugandan police, was part of an operation between the tribunal, Ugandan authorities, and Interpol.",
"Idelphonse Nizeyimana was transferred Tuesday to a U.N. detention facility in Arusha, Tanzania, where the U.N.-sponsored International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is based.",
"the Rwandan genocide left an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus dead over a 100-day period, the United Nations and Interpol say.",
"Millions more were raped and disfigured, and nearly an entire generation of children lost their parents."

"(CNN) --",
"Jacmel was the artsy town Kathryn Bolles would travel to on weekends, a respite from the bustle of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince.",
"But when a colleague with the Save the Children organization returned from once-scenic Jacmel on Friday, Kathryn Bolles said he was traumatized.",
"\"He said it's horrible what's happened there,\" said Bolles, the emergency health and nutrition director for Save the Children in Haiti.",
"\"People are lost, dead, missing.",
"Houses are down and facilities are down.",
"It sounded similar to what we're seeing here in Port-au-Prince.\"",
"Attention has focused on Port-au-Prince since Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude quake, as it is the country's most populous city -- at more than 1.2 million people -- and has suffered tremendous devastation.",
"Thousands of homeless victims have taken to sleeping in the streets, without food, water and medical attention.",
"Others are buried beneath the rubble, and rescuers have miraculously pulled out survivors who were entombed by the debris.",
"Elsewhere, though, preliminary reports are telling of how the crisis has gripped residents beyond Port-au-Prince.",
"\"What we're hearing from text messages, from e-mails is that all along the coast going west and then down south, towns are absolutely destroyed,\" said Bolles, who has worked in Haiti since 1999 and spoke to CNN from Port-au-Prince.",
"Kathryn Bolles learned of the extent of the damage from colleagues, people on the street and other aid groups.",
"Just to the west of Port-au-Prince is Carrefour, a city of 442,000 that felt violent shaking during the quake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.",
"Damage there is expected to be heavy -- reports have yet to come in, the U.S. Geological Survey said.",
"West of that is Leogane, a city, like Carrefour, that is passed on the road to Jacmel.",
"More than 30 miles further west of Port-au-Prince is Petit-Goave -- all towns, Kathryn Bolles said that are reeling from the quake.",
"Leogane's main hospital was flattened, as were numerous other buildings, Kathryn Bolles said.",
"Kathryn Bolles said Kathryn Bolles heard the \"whole town had collapsed.\"",
"Among the other areas, Kathryn Bolles said Kathryn Bolles was told an orphanage full of 1,500 children collapsed, and many people were dead or missing.",
"CNN has yet to independently verify damage or casualties outside Port-au-Prince, but reports continue to build in bits and pieces.",
"About a three-hour drive south of Port-au-Prince in Jacmel, there were reports of an orphanage that toppled, and of a hospital for women that collapsed, said Alana Salcer, spokeswoman for Cine Institute, a film school in Jacmel.",
"Staff at the school and students there have written Alana Salcer, spokeswoman for Cine Institute, a film school in Jacmel about the dire situation in Jacmel, and even shot footage of buildings ripped open and survivors lying in streets.",
"To keep the lights on and communication open, the school has had to rely on a generator after power lines went down.",
"The home of the school's editing teacher, Andrew Bigosinski, fell down a hill when the earth violently shook, and many others lost many others's homes, Alana Salcer, spokeswoman for Cine Institute, a film school in Jacmel said.",
"Just east of Port-au-Prince, makeshift camps have been erected in the public squares of the densely populated area of Delmas, Cine Institute founder David Belle told Alana Salcer, spokeswoman for Cine Institute, a film school in Jacmel in an e-mail shared with CNN.",
"Cine Institute founder David Belle described a harrowing scene on the road to Port-au-Prince: .",
"\"Moving into the city ... the destruction gets worse and worse and the street is lined with piles of swollen, rotting bodies.",
"...Periodic road blocks have been set up by residents, protesting the lack of any aid presence and angry at stench and indecency.",
"Huge tractors and dump trucks were just beginning to arrive and load bodies as we passed thru.\"",
"American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone said the biggest obstacle outside Port-au-Prince was getting medical treatment to the injured.",
"American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone arrived in Port-au-Prince Wednesday and had driven east toward the border with the Dominican Republic to escort an American Red Cross Emergency Response Unit into Haiti, said Red Cross spokesman Jonathan Aiken.",
"American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone told Red Cross spokesman Jonathan Aiken that about 30 minutes out of Port-au-Prince, American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone was still seeing significant and widespread damage.",
"Medical care was limited, as local clinics were overwhelmed by demand, American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone said.",
"Makeshift treatment facilities were established for those who fled Port-au-Prince, many of whom had broken bones and other serious injuries, American Red Cross logistics expert and relief worker Colin Chaperone said.",
"Exacerbating the dangerous situation was the reality that medical supplies were running out.",
"Roads are slowly becoming easier to navigate, but aid is still slow to get outside Port-au-Prince.",
"Kathryn Bolles said that Kathryn Bolles's team plans to travel as far as her team can to assess the situation and offer help.",
"\"There really needs to be a humanitarian response and a humanitarian response needs to be immediate,\" Kathryn Bolles said.",
"\"Outside of Port-au-Prince there really hasn't been anything.\""

"New York (CNN) --",
"The son of the late Gambino family crime boss Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don is set to stand trial in federal court in New York on Monday on murder and racketeering charges that could put Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don in prison for life if Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don is convicted.",
"'Junior' Gotti's lawyer, Charles Carnesi, talks with reporters outside the federal courthouse.",
"Three previous racketeering trials against John \"Junior\" Gotti, 45, have ended in mistrials in New York.",
"The government says The government has learned since Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's previous trial, \"that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don had participated in three murders, that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don had run a multi-million dollar cocaine trafficking network, that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don had overseen a systematic effort to tamper with trial juries, grand juries and witnesses, and that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don had participated in various other violent crimes,\" according to court documents filed by prosecutors.",
"The defense claims the newest round of charges is part of The government's ongoing quest to convict Gotti.",
"case was moved to New York in December from Florida, where the original indictment was handed up.",
"A superseding indictment was filed in case on August 3.",
"In the first indictment, Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don was only charged with violating the federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.",
"A superseding indictment formally charged Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don with the drug-related murders of two men -- allegations mentioned as part of the first indictment -- along with the RICO charge.",
"The RICO law is used to target organized crime groups -- in this case, the Gambino crime family.",
"Gotti's defense attorneys, however, allege in court filings that \"The government has engaged in a 'win at all costs' campaign riddled with misconduct.\"",
"\"The government charges the same conspiracy, albeit with new garnishments,\" said one filing from July.",
"\"After having received frustrating results in three separate trials, case was hijacked to the Middle District of Florida in a shameful attempt to forum shop or judge shop or both.\"",
"Federal prosecutors, meanwhile, say in court filings that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's allegations Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don is a victim of a government vendetta are unfounded.",
"Since Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's previous trials, prosecutors maintain, prosecutors have \"uncovered extensive new evidence of Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's criminal conduct in the course of investigating and prosecuting another Gambino family captain.\"",
"the first indictment alleges that Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don was at times an \"associate, soldier, captain and de facto boss\" in the Gambino family, and also served on a \"committee of captains\" formed in the early 1990s to assist in family administration.",
"\"The principal purpose of the GCF (Gambino crime family) Enterprise was to generate money ... for the GCF Enterprise members,\" the first indictment says.",
"\"The principal purpose of the GCF (Gambino crime family) was implemented,\" the first indictment continued, \"through various criminal activities, including criminal acts involving the felonious manufacturing, importing, receiving, concealing, buying, selling and otherwise dealing in narcotics and other dangerous drugs, extortion, armed and unarmed robbery, armed home invasions, illegal gambling, extortionate credit transactions, theft and bribery.\"",
"To further their activities, family members threatened and caused economic injury, the first indictment says, as well as threatening and using physical violence \"ranging from simple assault to murder.\"",
"The two murders Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don is charged with are those of George Grosso, who died in December 1988 in Queens, and Bruce John Gotterup, slain in November 1991 in Queens.",
"the first indictment also accuses Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don in connection with a third murder, that of Louis DiBono in October 1990 in the parking garage of the former World Trade Center, but does not allege a third murder, that of Louis DiBono in October 1990 in the parking garage of the former World Trade Center was drug-related.",
"Although the murder charges carry a potential death sentence, prosecutors have said prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don.",
"The trial will be the latest chapter in a long legal saga.",
"In late 2006, a third mistrial was declared in a federal case against Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don on charges including racketeering and extortion.",
"Prosecutors said Prosecutors would not retry Gotti, who was accused of ordering attacks on radio talk show host Curtis Sliwa after the Guardian Angels founder criticized Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's father on his program.",
"radio talk show host Curtis Sliwa was shot three times but recovered and testified against Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don.",
"At the time of Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's arrest in August 2008 on the latest charges, Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's attorney, Charles Carnesi, told reporters he \"was very disappointed to have to go through all this again.\"",
"Carnesi continued, \"You can imagine the toll it took on Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don and Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don's family to have to fight three times in the course of a year, to feel that, OK, perhaps it's over ... because the government itself came to the conclusion, no more.",
"It's very disheartening for Junior Gotti, son of late \"Teflon Don to be back here again.\"",
"Gotti's father, John Gotti Sr., was nicknamed the \"Teflon Don\" because prosecutors had trouble making charges against him stick.",
"He died in prison of throat cancer in 2002."

"Deposed Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya will not be reinstated as head of state, an overwhelming majority of the Honduran congress voted Wednesday.",
"In an hours-long process, 111 lawmakers voted in favor of a motion not to return Zelaya to office.",
"A majority of 65 votes in the 128-member body was required to reject his reinstatement.",
"Zelaya was removed from office in a military-led coup on June 28 and replaced by congressional leader Roberto Micheletti.",
"On Wednesday, lawmakers voted one by one and addressed the chamber as lawmakers cast lawmakers's vote, making for a slow process.",
"The vote was a key part of a U.S.-brokered pact that representatives for Zelaya and congressional leader Roberto Micheletti signed October 29, giving the Honduran congress the power to decide Zelaya's fate.",
"The United States expressed disappointment Thursday over the latest rebuff to The United States's diplomatic efforts to end the political crisis in Honduras.",
"U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo Valenzuela continued to call on Honduras to allow Zelaya's return and to create a unity government in the interim period before the new president takes office next month.",
"\"The United States are disappointed by this decision since The United States had hoped the [Honduran] Congress would have approved his return,\" U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo Valenzuela said in a conference call with journalists in Washington.",
"\"The United States's policy since June 28 has been consistently principled.",

"\"The absence of democratic, constitutional order is the unacceptable status quo,\" a senior U.S. administration official said on the conference call, remaining anonymous under the ground rules of a conference call with journalists in Washington and because of the sensitivity of the situation.",
"\"The election is a step toward a day where Honduras will have an electorally legitimate government in place.\"",
"Zelaya, who says Zelaya does not recognize The election, also has said Zelaya would not accept the post even if the Honduran congress voted Zelaya back in.",
"Accepting the job, Zelaya said, would legitimize the coup.",
"Many nations said before The election Many nations would withhold recognition if Zelaya were not returned to power.",
"Some countries, such as The United States, Colombia and Costa Rica, have said Some countries, such as the United States, Colombia and Costa Rica will recognize Lobo.",
"Others, such as Argentina, Brazil and Spain, have said they will not.",
"Despite the diplomatic pressure from abroad, lawmakers were voting the will of the people, Congressman Juan Angel Rivera Tabora said.",
"\"History will judge us, and I'm certain History will judge us positively,\" Congressman Juan Angel Rivera Tabora said.",
"\"the Honduran congress didn't make this problem.",
"this problem came to us.\"",
"Those voting against Zelaya echoed those sentiments.",
"After the coup, the same body voted to install Micheletti as interim president.",
"Wednesday vote only happened because the agreement between the two sides called for Wednesday vote, many lawmakers repeated.",
"Zelaya's supporters argued that the coup was an illegal act that only restitution could heal.",
"the Honduran congress sought opinions from the nation's Supreme Court and other bodies before holding the vote.",
"the nation's Supreme Court ruled last week that Zelaya cannot return to office without facing trial on charges that Zelaya acted unconstitutionally when Zelaya tried to hold a vote that could have led to the removal of presidential term limits.",
"the nation's Supreme Court ruled before the coup that the vote was illegal and the Honduran congress had forbidden the vote.",
"the coup came on the day the term-limits vote was to have been held.",
"Micheletti and his supporters have insisted that Zelaya's removal was a constitutional transfer of power, not a coup.",
"But the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the European Union and most nations -- including the United States -- condemned the coup and demanded that Zelaya be reinstated immediately.",
"Zelaya wasn't.",
"Zelaya, who was flown out of Honduras while still in Zelaya's pajamas on the day of the coup, has been staying at the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras' capital since secretly returning to Honduras September 21."

"SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (CNN) --",
"You've got your spot on a lounge chair angled into the hot Caribbean sun, with tall, slender palm trees jutting out over your head.",
"As you gaze at the calm turquoise waters and sip that refreshing rum drink, you may ask yourself, \"What more could I possibly want?\"",
"Visitors can climb the tower at Fortaleza Ozama for a view over the rooftops and out to sea.",
"For many travelers to the Dominican Republic, that chair -- usually secluded inside a mega all-inclusive resort complex -- is the sole destination.",
"And don't get me wrong, it's a great one.",
"the Dominican Republic's stretches of sand are some of the best on the planet.",
"But if you never leave the high walls of your tourist compound, you're missing out on a gem of a capital city.",
"Santo Domingo is the New World's first city, with 16th-century buildings, quaint colonial streets, romantic ruins and a lively atmosphere.",
"All you need is a full day to experience Santo Domingo's architecture, culture and food.",
"Plus, it's only a $9 coach bus ride from Punta Cana.",
"So when you begin to tire of the antics of the \"animation team\" at the resort, and the color of your skin starts to resemble the papaya or watermelon you're eating, consider a short trip to Santo Domingo.",
"Founded soon after Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World, and run by his son Diego, Santo Domingo became the colonial capital of the Americas and launch pad for further Spanish expeditions.",
"Despite several raids by pirates, the oldest section of town remains largely intact.",
"Known as the Zona Colonial, the oldest section of town contains many European \"firsts\" in the Western Hemisphere including the first street, cathedral, hospital and university.",
"How to see it all in a day .",
"Start at the heart of the zone, Parque Colón, a square that borders the cathedral and is always full of life.",
"You can sit and watch children chase pigeons as you gaze up at the simple beauty of the oldest cathedral in the Americas.",
"Next, head over to the oldest fortress in the New World, Fortaleza Ozama, built in the early 1500s.",
"There you can climb the tower for a view over the rooftops and out to sea.",
"Back on street level, walk up a couple blocks to the expansive Plaza España, site of two museums and a hangout for locals, especially in the evening, when kids crisscross the square on scooters or fly kites, and couples sit quietly together.",
"The Museo de las Casas Reales and the Alcázar de Colón -- Diego Columbus' palace -- show you how the wealthy Spanish lived when the wealthy Spanish came to the early colonies and provide some history of the island's colonization -- all for a buck or two.",
"Next, head over to a pair of impressive ruins.",
"Gaze up at the towering walls and arches of the Americas' first hospital, Hospital de San Nicolás de Bari.",
"Then, just up a picturesque bend in the road lined with colorful houses, you'll find the large ruins of Monasterio de San Francisco.",
"Pirate attacks and earthquakes brought down the monastery.",
"The hospital was merely abandoned in the 18th century, and later dismantled for safety.",
"Now let yourself wander a bit through the streets, checking out the colorful surprises around every colonial corner.",
"You'll discover the varied architecture of people's homes, and get a view into Dominican city life.",
"In just a few blocks, I ran across a pickup game of baseball, the national sport and passion, in the middle of the street, with adults using just a broom handle and roll of tape; several \"kiddie\" pools in the streets, where both children and adults were cooling off in the afternoon heat; and a handful of corner parks alive with activity.",
"After exploring, your final destination is the zone's main drag, Calle El Conde.",
"This pedestrian-only street is the place to shop.",
"You'll find street sellers hawking colorful artwork; music stores to pick up that merengue and bachata music you've heard blaring out of everyone's stereos; and jewelry shops featuring native amber and the sky-blue stone larimar found only in the Dominican Republic.",
"By now, you've certainly worked up an appetite walking in the hot sun.",
"Parque Colón and Plaza España each have a row of chic sidewalk cafés, although they're a bit pricey and touristy.",
"Consider wandering a bit through some side streets to find a more local establishment, where you can feast on typical cuisine such as la bandera dominicana (a red beans and rice dish), several stews, fried plantains or yucca and delicious tropical fruits.",
"And if you still feel like dancing the night away, hop in a taxi to the Malecón, Santo Domingo's seafront boulevard, where the large hotels have popular dance clubs pumping merengue until the wee hours of the morning.",
"The bus ride .",
"Getting to the capital city from the beach areas is cheap and relatively easy.",
"Expreso Bávaro runs from the Punta Cana area for $9 in an air-conditioned and comfy coach bus.",
"On your four-hour ride, you'll get a glimpse of some smaller Dominican towns, a towering modern cathedral, distant mountains and vast sugarcane fields.",
"Metro and Caribe Tours provide similar services from the beaches on the north coast around Puerto Plata.",
"The buses to/from Punta Cana don't run long into the evening (The buses to/from Punta Cana leave each side at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.), so you'll want to make this an overnight trip.",
"The Zona Colonial has several boutique hotels that are quaint, clean and reasonably priced.",
"You could even arrange to fly out of Santo Domingo's Las Americas airport, rather than Punta Cana."
