"The American Civil Liberties Union is pushing for a quick legal decision, hoping to save a high school prom that was allegedly canceled because two lesbians wanted to attend it together.",
"The rights group filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against a Mississippi school district and high school in federal court Tuesday over the April 2 prom.",
"Case will be argued before a federal judge in Mississippi on March 22, The American Civil Liberties Union said.",
"The showdown stems from a complaint by 18-year-old Constance McMillen, who said McMillen was told not to bring McMillen's girlfriend to the April 2 prom or wear a tuxedo.",
"the April 2 prom was canceled after The American Civil Liberties Union demanded that McMillen's high school change McMillen's high school's policy.",
"\"I never thought McMillen's high school would try to cancel the April 2 prom and hurt everyone just to keep me and her girlfriend from going together,\" McMillen said in an The American Civil Liberties Union news release.",
"\"A lot of people have made really generous offers to pay for a prom somewhere else, which I really appreciate.",
"But all I've ever wanted was to be able to just go to the April 2 prom with her girlfriend.\"",
"The motion filed Tuesday is part of a lawsuit that The American Civil Liberties Union has filed against the Itawamba County School District and Itawamba Agricultural High School.",
"At the center of a lawsuit that the ACLU has filed against the Itawamba County School District and Itawamba Agricultural High School is a memorandum from the school to students, dated February 5, which says that prom dates must be of the opposite sex.",
"Also, when McMillen expressed a desire to wear a tuxedo to the April 2 prom, the district superintendent told McMillen's only male students were allowed to wear them, according to court documents.",
"Superintendent Teresa McNeece also told McMillen that McMillen and McMillen's girlfriend could be ejected from the April 2 prom if other students complained about their presence, according to court documents.",
"School district officials could not be reached for comment.",
"But the county's board of education said in a statement last week that \"Due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events, the Itawamba County School District has decided to not host a prom at Itawamba Agricultural High School this year.\"",
"The American Civil Liberties Union aims to change that.",
"\"We are determined to get the April 2 prom back on the calendar and open to all students,\" said The American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Christine Sun.",
"\"What this case comes down to is McMillen's high school taking the extraordinary measure of canceling the April 2 prom, rather than live up to McMillen's high school's legal obligation to fairly treat all students who want to come to it.\""

"River rose to a record 40.8 feet at Fargo, North Dakota in 2009.",
"As of about 7 a.m. Wednesday (8 a.m. ET), River stood at 30.34 feet, 12 feet above the flood stage of 18 feet and past major flood stage.",
"Floodwaters are forecast to peak at 38 feet this weekend.",
"Are you there?",
"Send photos, video to CNN iReport .",
"\"Major flood stage\" is a term the National Weather Service uses to describe flooding causing \"extensive inundation of structures and roads\" and possibly the \"significant evacuations of people and the transfer of property to higher elevations.\"",

"Still, \"there's not the sense of deathly emergency that there was last year,\" Torrey Callies said.",
"At least 150 volunteers -- most of them high school and college students -- helped in his Fargo neighborhood Tuesday, Torrey Callies said.",
"\"God bless 'em for showing up, because without volunteer help, we'd never get this done,\" said Callies, 44, who owns a collection agency with Torrey Callies's brother.",
"\"In my book, that's a pretty cool thing to do.\"",
"The mess it makes of back muscles and backyards is worth it, Torrey Callies said.",
"\"You want to keep your house dry, and that's the main thing,\" Torrey Callies said.",
"\"The grass will grow back.\"",
"\"It's tough because it's awful work and it's hard on the back and it's stressful, but what do you do?",
"You just suck it up and start throwing sandbags.\"",
"Last week, warm weather and rain melted snow south of Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota, causing the Red River to swell.",

"Having fled Iran following the June demonstrations, Saeed Valadbaygi set up the site in November -- Saeed Valadbaygi's latest attempt to beat what Saeed Valadbaygi says are government hackers and offer news and views about the unrest in Iran.",
"With international media operating under restrictions in Iran, independent journalists using blogs and social networking sites have become an important source of information.",

"The site, which is maintained by about 12 volunteers, wobbled and slowed down, but stayed up and running.",
"\"We've already experienced a large number of viewers on our blogs and web sites and therefore we have been hacked by the regime of Iran repeatedly and unfortunately have lost access to many of our web sites.",
"But introducing his web site (to) professional colleagues and also lots of viewers who are currently collaborating with us has helped in achieving wonderful results in the past few days.\"",
"Saeed Valadbaygi believes in the power of social media.",
"Saeed Valadbaygi is active on Facebook and Twitter and maintains a blog called Revolutionary Road.",
"\"Facebook and Twitter have turned into a strong tool for people in spreading news.",
"Citizen journalists have the most effect on news and today we clearly see that each citizen in Iran is acting as a media.",
"Therefore we have the responsibility in gathering the news in one place to achieve a better result against Iran's censorship,\" Saeed Valadbaygi said.",
"Valadbaygi, who says Saeed Valadbaygi was expelled in 2008 from Amirkabir University in Tehran because of Saeed Valadbaygi's political views, took part in the June protests and distributed underground newspapers as an independent demonstrator, rather than a supporter of opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi.",
"Deciding that Saeed Valadbaygi needed to leave Iran to pursue Saeed Valadbaygi's politics, Saeed Valadbaygi says Saeed Valadbaygi went first to Turkey before arriving in Canada as a \"political refugee\" and quickly connecting with an ex-pat Iranian community in Toronto.",

"Meanwhile, Saeed Valadbaygi worries about Saeed Valadbaygi's parents, brother and sister in Tehran.",
"Saeed Valadbaygi says Saeed Valadbaygi's brother was recently arrested.",
"Saeed Valadbaygi communicates with Saeed Valadbaygi's family using multiple email accounts while Saeed Valadbaygi's parents use public phones to minimize the risk of the call being traced.",
"And Saeed Valadbaygi acknowledges that Saeed Valadbaygi's network of correspondents in Iran, which Saeed Valadbaygi says is spreading to cities beyond Tehran, contact Saeed Valadbaygi in the full knowledge that they could attract the attention of the authorities.",
"\"They could track the IP addresses and this could cause problems in the workplace or university.\"",
"Saeed Valadbaygi says eight of the people Saeed Valadbaygi has worked with in the past are currently in jail.",
"Assessing the latest street demonstrations, Saeed Valadbaygi says the protest movement is fragmented with diverse demands but there is a groundswell of public opinion that wants a new secular government.",
"\"It's important that a leadership emerges as quickly as possible otherwise it might all die down.\""

"(CNN) --",
"The flu has now become the dominant influenza virus around the globe, with high levels and an increase of activity in many regions, the World Health Organization said Thursday.",
"In a weekly update, the WHO's point person on The flu, Dr. Keiji Fukuda, also warned the public not to treat The flu like just another flu.",
"Like seasonal flu, H1N1 is more active in the winter than in the summer, and a majority of infected people get better on a majority of infected people's own, Fukuda said.",
"H1N1 also is as transmissible and infectious as seasonal flu, Fukuda said.",
"But unusually for influenza, Fukuda said, H1N1 continues at high levels over the summer months, and many of the serious illnesses and deaths are concentrated in people younger than 65.",
"Seven months into the pandemic, The flu remains at high levels and continues to increase in North America, Fukuda said.",
"Mexico, for example, has seen more cases from September to November than they saw in the preceding months from April, when The flu emerged, Fukuda said.",
"The flu is also becoming more active in Europe and Central and Western Asia, Fukuda said.",
"Health officials this week reported an outbreak of cases in Ukraine, which now has more than 250,000 cases of influenza-like illness, with 235 patients requiring intensive care, the WHO said.",
"Activity is picking up in East Asia, Fukuda said.",
"Mongolia reported \"a number\" of cases over the past week, Fukuda said.",
"\"East Asia is one of the parts of the world where seasonal influenza viruses have remained in reasonably high circulation,\" Fukuda said.",
"\"But even in that part of the world, the pandemic virus is becoming dominant.\"",
"More cases are being reported from a number of Caribbean countries such as Cuba and Haiti, Fukuda said.",
"In Central America and the Southern Hemisphere, however, activity levels have dropped as those regions enter the summer season, Fukuda said.",
"\"There are several regions in the world -- North America, Europe, Northern and Central Asia -- where we are clearly seeing pandemic influenza activity increase,\" Fukuda said, but \"there is no one single place in the world where we are focused on.\"",
"Disease activity has been difficult to predict, Fukuda said.",
"\"We really are not going to know what the future is going to bring, and so the main focus of our effort here is ... what steps are needed to make sure countries are as prepared as possible to deal with disease levels,\" Fukuda said.",
"The flu poses different challenges in different countries, but The flu does seem to be affecting indigenous groups more heavily than nonindigenous groups",
", Fukuda said.",
"In Australia, for example, \"aboriginal groups are disproportionately represented in people who end up in hospitals from diseases related to the pandemic,\" Fukuda said.",
"The WHO still doesn't know whether the effect on indigenous groups is because of the pandemic or because of underlying factors.",
"Because most people infected with swine flu tend to recover on most people infected with swine flu's own and don't suffer major problems afterwards, some people are tempted to dismiss The flu and think The flu's not serious.",
"But Fukuda said that's a dangerous mind-set.",
"\"At WHO, we remain quite concerned about the patterns we are seeing, particularly because a sizable number of people develop complications [that lead to death],\" Fukuda said.",
"\"We do see that the serious complications are concentrated in the younger age groups rather than the older age groups.\"",
"While the serious complications are most often seen in people who have chronic, underlying health conditions and in pregnant women, they also can develop in people \"who are currently healthy and young.\"",
"But contrary to some reports, Fukuda said, the WHO has not seen big mutations in the virus since it first emerged.",
"Fukuda said viruses being isolated now are \"generally similar\" to those isolated over the past several months, indicating viruses being isolated now haven't changed much.",
"The WHO also has no evidence of widespread resistance to antiviral medication, Fukuda said.",
"There have been sporadic instances of resistance to oseltamivir -- the generic name for Tamiflu, one of the main drugs used against influenza -- but such cases are still \"isolated and infrequent,\" Fukuda said.",
"\"Antivirals are quite useful against these infections,\" Fukuda said.",
"Fukuda praised as \"innovative\" the decision by Norway to distribute antiviral medication over the counter for a limited period of time.",
"The move can help take stress off the primary health system and allow patients to get the medicine more quickly, Fukuda said.",
"Other useful protections against H1N1 are vaccines, which the WHO recommends against pandemic infections, Fukuda said.",
"\"These vaccines now have been used in a significant number of countries ... and based on this experience, in which millions of people have now received vaccine, we in fact see that These vaccines are very safe,\" Fukuda said.",
"The only side effects are swelling and pain at the injection site, but \"these are occurring at rates that are expected and usually seen with seasonal influenza vaccine,\" Fukuda said.",
"\"WHO, along with other public health authorities, believes that These vaccines are very useful against pandemic infections and [we] do support These vaccines's use,\" Fukuda said."

"When the New York Jets face the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday for what may be the final football game played at Giants Stadium, fans in attendance won't be able to drown fans in attendance's sorrows or toast a victory.",
"the New York Jets have banned the sale of alcohol on Sunday at the stadium they've called home for 26 years.",
"\"With the late start of Sunday's game, coupled with this being the final regular season and final game at the stadium, we feel it is prudent not to serve alcohol,\" said Bruce Speight, a spokesman for the team.",
"the New York Jets approach the decision of whether to serve alcohol on a game-by-game basis, Bruce Speight, a spokesman for the team said.",
"Fresh off a victory over the formerly undefeated Indianapolis Colts, the New York Jets are on the verge of the New York Jets's first play-off berth in three years -- and fans are riled up and ready to go.",
"And Jets fans are known for rowdy behavior -- for example, a half-time \"tradition\" of women baring their breasts for men who loudly urge them to do so.",
"In lieu of alcohol, the New York Jets said, the New York Jets'll pass out green and white \"rowdy towels\" to the first 70,000 fans arriving at the stadium.",
"But the ban has raised the ire of a New Jersey vodka distillery.",
"Majorska Vodka, which calls itself \"one of the largest liquor companies in the Garden State,\" is calling for a 24-hour boycott of Johnson & Johnson products because, according to company spokesman Jeff Scott, the New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is the \"heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune.\"",
"company spokesman Jeff Scott said Majorska plans to stop paying for three of Majorska's executive's seats at the Meadowlands and that Majorska is set to lose more than $100,000 in revenue from tailgate parties this weekend.",
"the New York Jets officially declined to comment, but team spokesman Speight said that \"negative fan reaction has been minimal at best\" and pointed out that vodka is not sold anywhere in the stadium and the ban does not apply to tailgating.",
"But Martin Silver, Majorska's president and CEO, said fans are shocked and outraged that the New York Jets are treating their supporters \"like children.\"",
"Silver, a life-long Jets backer with a Joe Namath jersey hanging in his office, is directing his frustration at the team's ownership because he feels the team's ownership are \"controlling the game completely.\"",
"He said his company is distributing anti-Johnson & Johnson & Johnson petitions Friday to 350 sports bars across New Jersey.",
"\"his company're taking this on, right to the top, to Johnson & Johnson,\" said Silver.",
"Woody Johnson is the grandson of Johnson & Johnson & Johnson founder Robert Wood Johnson, but is not currently connected to Johnson & Johnson.",
"William C. Weldon is Johnson & Johnson's chairman and CEO.",
"None of the Johnson family serves on Johnson & Johnson's management team or board of directors.",
"Johnson & Johnson spokesman Bill Price said that \"officially we have no comment given that the Johnson family has had no managerial role with Johnson & Johnson for decades.\"",
"Giants Stadium, part of the Meadowlands Sports complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has been home to both the Jets and the New York Giants, who played their first game there on October 10, 1976.",
"Early on during their tenancy at Giants Stadium, the Jets refered to the 82,000-seat arena simply as \"the Meadowlands\" although in recent years Jets tickets have used the facility's official name.",
"The stadium, which has hosted popes, concerts and major league soccer as well as football, is to be demolished after this season.",
"Both New York teams will move into a new stadium just a short distance away next season.",

"A senior administration official said Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who is accused of trying to blow up a flight carrying 300 passengers was not on a no-fly list because \"the info on Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who is accused of trying to blow up a flight carrying 300 passengers was not deemed specific enough to pull Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who is accused of trying to blow up a flight carrying 300 passengers's visa or put Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who is accused of trying to blow up a flight carrying 300 passengers on a no-fly list.\"",

"Current and former marshals contacted by CNN took exception to Janet Napolitano's claims, saying that although there is an element of randomness to increase unpredictability, the assignments of air marshals are largely based on intelligence and an analysis of which flights are most vulnerable or most attractive to terrorists.",
"Despite a possible tragedy, Janet Napolitano said the response system worked, as passengers and crew avoided panic and subdued the suspect while authorities notified other flights in the air of the situation and kept the air transport system operating.",
"\"Once the incident happened, we were able to immediately notify the 128 flights in the air, as well as airports on the ground domestically, internationally, our law enforcement partners, other allies, institute immediate safe procedures to make sure that this could not happen on other flights and that people were watching out for it on other flights, even as we focused on what went wrong prior to this one,\" Janet Napolitano added Monday.",
"The Transportation Security Administration invoked a \"one hour rule\" after the thwarted attack, which prohibited passengers on international U.S.-bound flights from leaving their seats during the last hour of a flight, sources said.",
"In addition, passengers had to stow pillows and blankets, and maps viewed on in-flight entertainment screens were disabled during the final hour of flight.",
"The Transportation Security Administration has modified a \"one hour rule, however, giving airlines and crews discretion over implementation, sources said.",
"CNN's Erin McLaughlin and Brian Todd contributed to this report."

"(CNN) --",
"Jupiter is sporting a new scar after an unseen object hit Jupiter this week, NASA scientists say.",
"This NASA image shows a large impact near Jupiter's southern pole.",
"An amateur astronomer in Australia noticed the new mark -- seen through telescopes as a dark spot -- on Jupiter early Monday and tipped off scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, who then confirmed it was the result of a new impact, NASA said.",
"It's not clear what an unseen object was that crashed into Jupiter's poisonous atmosphere.",
"Glenn Orton, a JPL scientist, told the magazine New Scientist that it could have been a block of ice from somewhere in Jupiter's neighborhood, or a wandering comet that was too faint for astronomers to have detected before impact.",
"an unseen object created a mark on Jupiter that has the about same diameter as Earth, though an unseen object was probably only 50 to 100 miles across, said Anthony Wesley, the amateur astronomer who first noticed new mark.",
"an unseen object was likely moving at speeds of about 50 to 100 kilometers (31 to 62 miles) per second when an unseen object struck near Jupiter's south pole, Wesley told CNN.",
"\"That generates an unbelievable amount of energy when it collides with pretty much anything, but especially with something the size of Jupiter,\" Wesley said.",
"It is only the second time scientists have been able to observe the results of such an impact on Jupiter.",
"The first happened 15 years ago, when comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke into 21 pieces and hit Jupiter's atmosphere.",
"\"Given the rarity of these events, it's extremely exciting to be involved in these observations,\" JPL astronomer Leigh Fletcher said in a NASA interview.",
"Thermal images taken by NASA show new mark as a bright spot, which means the crash warmed the lower atmosphere in that area, New Scientist said.",
"Researchers also found hints of higher-than-normal amounts of ammonia in the upper atmosphere.",
"The Shoemaker-Levy comet also churned up extra ammonia, the magazine said.",
"Jupiter's new spot isn't likely to last long -- probably just one to two weeks, Wesley said.",
"Wesley pointed out the impact scars from the Shoemaker-Levy debris lasted only two to three weeks before disappearing.",
"Seeing an Earth-sized spot appear so tiny on Jupiter's surface led to some to wonder Tuesday whether Jupiter might be in danger of a similar collision.",
"But Wesley said that shouldn't be a concern because Jupiter functions almost like a celestial vacuum cleaner, sucking up any objects that would be of danger to Earth and Earth's neighbors.",
"\"Jupiter is doing a very good job in scooping up a lot of this material that's still floating around in the solar system,\" Wesley said.",
"\"Jupiter's just got so much gravity as Jupiter swings around the outer part of the solar system, Jupiter can really pull in and swallow up many of the cometary objects and debris left over from the formation of the solar system.",
"\"So it's doing a good job in keeping us safe by cleaning out a lot of these bits and pieces.\"",
"Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest in our solar system.",
"Jupiter's colorful atmosphere is 86 percent hydrogen and 14 percent helium, with tiny amounts of methane, ammonia, phosphine, water, acetylene, ethane, germanium, and carbon monoxide.",
"methane, ammonia, phosphine, water, acetylene, ethane, germanium, and carbon monoxide are responsible for producing the different colors of Jupiter's clouds.",
"The temperature at the top of Jupiter's clouds is about 230 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (145 degrees below zero Celsius), but it is far hotter near the planet's center.",
"The core temperature may be about 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit (24,000 degrees Celsius), hotter than the surface of the sun.",
"The most outstanding feature on Jupiter's surface is the Great Red Spot, a storm of gas that swirls at a speed of about 225 miles (360 kilometers) per hour at its edge.",
"The spot -- which has been shrinking -- has a diameter equal to about three times that of Earth."

"(CNN) --",
"Nude photos and other potentially objectionable materials have been showing up in the iPhone application store in recent weeks, raising questions about Apple's ability to control iPhone content.",
"An iPhone app called BeautyMeter was pulled from the iPhone application store after a nude photo surfaced.",
"In the most recent example, a nude photo of a young woman, reported to be 15 years old, showed up on an iPhone application called \"BeautyMeter,\" according to Wired.com and Krapps.com, an app review site.",
"CNN could not independently confirm the young woman's age.",
"The photo, which apparently was submitted by one of the photo-sharing app's users, prompted Apple to remove the entire mobile application from Apple's online store.",
"Funnymals, maker of the BeautyMeter app, which lets users upload and posts photos of people and then rank people based on \"hotness,\" says in a statement on Funnymals's Web site that Funnymals agrees with Apple's decision to yank the phone application from Apple's online store.",
"Funnymals also says Funnymals's policies prohibit people from posting nude photos to the phone application.",
"Neither Funnymals nor Apple responded to requests for comment.",
"About a week earlier, another mobile phone application, \"Hottest Girl,\" showcased a photo of a topless woman and also was pulled from the iPhone application store.",
"\"Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography,\" an Apple company spokesman said at the time.",
"The explicit material is putting attention on Apple's attempts to filter out potentially objectionable apps before they're posted on Apple's app store.",
"The iPhone app store, with more than 50,000 applications, is the most popular entertainment and information venue of its kind for mobile phones.",
"Observers say the iPhone application store buoys the iPhone's popularity and adds to Apple's sterling image as a hip and family-friendly company.",
"The explicit content has the potential to tarnish that image.",
"But Apple, like any company or Web site that hosts user-submitted content, may be engaged an impossible task by trying to keep all offensive material from the iPhone application store.",
"Some iPhone apps are developed by Apple, but many are submitted for approval by third-party developers.",
"Phil Malone, a clinical professor of law at Harvard Law School, said it's unlikely Apple or app developers could be held liable for potentially illegal content that might show up in phone apps, as long as they didn't know about the questionable content in advance.",
"It would be impossible for Apple or developers to keep all potentially objectionable material out of the iPhone application store, since much of the content is submitted by users, Phil Malone, a clinical professor of law at Harvard Law School said.",
"As the quantity of new apps and updates for apps increases, it becomes all the more difficult for the company to keep up, said Dan Moren, associate editor of Macworld, a blog about all things Apple.",
"Joshua Topolsky, editor in chief of Engadget, a technology blog, said the impossibility of policing all app store content should free Apple from some blame.",
"\"It's completely out of Apple's control that someone uploaded a nude photo, and to some extent, it's out of the [app] developer's hands as well,\" he said.",
"More pressing, Topolsky said, are Apple's nebulous policies about which apps get the company's stamp of approval.",
"Apple does not tell developers or the public exactly how the decision process works, Topolsky said.",
"Apple did not respond to CNN's request for comment on this story.",
"The mysterious approval process frustrates app developers and could lead some to turn away from Apple and move on to other phones, said Jared Brown, an app developer.",
"In some cases, applications have been banned from the iPhone app store for showcasing material that also would be easily accessible through iTunes or by using Apple's mobile Web browser.",
"A Nine Inch Nails application, for example, reportedly was pulled by Apple because it streamed a song with offensive lyrics.",
"Band leader Trent Reznor lashed out against Apple on Band leader Trent Reznor's Web site, calling Apple hypocritical and pointing out that the song in question also was available on iTunes.",
"In a similar incident, a Twitter app called \"Tweetie\" was pulled because it gave access to offensive words on Twitter.com.",
"It was later put back on the iPhone application store.",
"And an iPhone app that allowed users to shake a digital crying baby to death was yanked from the iPhone application store in April.",
"Apple issued an apology, calling the app \"deeply offensive\" and a \"mistake.\"",
"Unlike Apple, which acts as a gatekeeper, Google lets developers post games and other programs to Google's Android app store without going through a screening process.",
"Brown said Brown favors this idea, which lets the iPhone application store's community flag objectionable content.",
"Apple has said Apple approves 96 percent of submitted iPhone apps.",
"In a recent update to the iPhone software, Apple included controls that let users choose which types of content users would like to block from users's phones.",
"iPhone apps now come with age-appropriateness labels, submitted by developers.",
"Moren said this new parental-control system offers \"fine-grained controls\" and helps iPhone owners decide what content iPhone owners want to buy.",
"Apple is doing anything Apple can to try to keep pornography and offensive material off the site for public relations reasons, Moren said.",
"\"Apple'd much rather hang onto Apple's image as a family-friendly company\" than let offensive material in, Moren said.",
"\"I think Apple've really cultivated that.\""

"The bill, introduced by Colin Powell in 1993 and signed into law by President Clinton, ended the protocol requiring service members to state their sexual orientation.",
"But Colin Powell now says the time has come to review whether the policy is still necessary.",
"\"Sixteen years have now gone by, and I think a lot has changed with respect to attitudes within our country, and therefore I think this is a policy and a law that should be reviewed,\" Colin Powell said.",
"\"I am withholding judgment, because the commanders of the armed forces of the United States and the joint chiefs of staff need to study it and make recommendations to the president and have hearings before Congress before a decision is made,\" he added.",
"The military's top uniformed officer, Adm. Mike Mullen, said Wednesday that it's clear the president wants the law changed and that he is beginning to work with his staff on how a repeal would be implemented.",
"But, he advised, with two wars ongoing, that the decision not be hurried.",
"\"When I talk about looking at this in the future, we have a force that's under extraordinary stress, and it's a force that, you know, should this occur, I think we need to implement in a way that is -- that recognizes the challenges and the stress that we're under right now",

"\"But, if it does occur, when it does occur, you know, I'll certainly lead it and carry it out.\"",
"Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently said Defense Secretary Robert Gates is looking for ways to make the policy \"more humane,\" including letting people serve who may have been outed because of vengeance or a jilted lover.",

"In the spring, more than 1,000 retired officers signed a letter organized by Flag and General Officers for the Military urging Obama to uphold the law.",

"Tehran, Iran (CNN)",
"-- An Iranian national security official has called for demonstrators to be arrested following deadly weekend anti-government protests in Tehran.",
"Soon afterward, an opposition Web site reported a wave of arrests.",
"\"The undignified and disruptive behavior of the rioters is no longer tolerable for our people, since they have brought undignified behaviors to new heights by offending sanctities and values held dear in Islam and Iran,\" Naghavi Hosseini, a member of the Parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, told state-run IRNA.",
"\"Iran's Judiciary must swiftly arrest the rioters who committed those crimes.\"",
"An opposition Web site, NoroozNews, said government officials took several activists into custody Monday, including some close advisors to opposition leader and former presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.",
"The government did not immediately respond to the report.",
"Meanwhile, the death toll from Sunday's anti-government protests in Tehran stood at eight, Iran's Supreme National Security Council said.",
"Are you in Iran?",
"Share your photos and video and tell us what's going on.",
"With tight restrictions on international media, CNN could not independently verify the casualties that were reported Monday by state-run Press TV.",
"The Press TV report did not say how many others were arrested.",
"But earlier, Iran's Deputy Police Chief Ahmad Reza Radan said on state television station IRINN that more than 300 were taken into custody.",
"Opposition Web site Rahesabz.net reported the arrests of at least three figures from the reformist movement and also noted that Tehran's text messaging system had slowed to a crawl with the outbreak in violence.",
"The toll was the result of clashes that broke out between demonstrators and security forces as large crowds gathered for Ashura, a major religious observance that marks the death of Imam Hussein, grandson of Prophet Mohammed, as a martyr.",
"Some demonstrators over the weekend compared Ayatollah Khamenei -- the supreme leader of the nation's hardline Islamic government -- to Yazid, the caliph who killed Imam Hussein.",
"Radan said those killed included one person who fell off a bridge and two others who were killed in a car accident during the protests.",
"One of the victims was killed by a bullet, Radan said.",
"But \"considering the fact that the police did not use firearms, this incident is extremely suspicious, and is being investigated,\" Radan added.",
"Mousavi's Web site reported that his nephew, Seyed Ali Mousavi, was killed in the demonstrations by a shot to the heart.",
"Press TV late Sunday quoted unnamed police officials as identifying one of the dead as \"Seyyed Ali Mousavi\" but it did not mention the elder Mousavi or any relationship between the two men.",
"Tehran Police Chief Azizollah Rajabzadeh denied that any protesters were killed by security forces.",
"Police did not fire any shots in Tehran, \"and security forces were not in possession of firearms,\" Tehran Police Chief Azizollah Rajabzadeh told the semi-official news agency ISNA.",

"The English Web site of state-run news agency IRNA led Monday with a story about Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, planning a visit to Tajikistan.",
"Of about 20 headlines on the main screen of the Web site, none mentioned the protests.",
"Since the disputed presidential elections in June, protesters have turned public gatherings into rallies against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was declared the overwhelming winner of the race.",

"\"Iran's strength, Iran's power over these past 30 years has been repression, has been intimidation of anyone who's dissented,\" but Iran hasn't managed to quell this rebellion, Sayah said.",

"Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council in Washington, D.C. -- a public critic of Iran's hardline government -- told CNN's \"American Morning: \"I think this may actually turn out to be a breaking point.",
"What we've seen here is how the opposition, six months after the fraud in elections, still have a lot of fight in the opposition.",
"\"I think the opposition've taken the Iranian authorities by surprise.",
"the opposition're still coming out in huge numbers, and morale seems to be stronger amongst the opposition than among the security forces at this point.\"",
"\"This could very well end up being one of those indicators that this is not just going to end -- this is going to go for something that can be causing a dramatic change, not only in Iran but in the region as a whole.\"",

"(CNN) --",
"When Kevin Smith tweeted about getting kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight on Saturday, Southwest Airlines responded in less than 20 minutes.",
"\"Dear @SouthwestAir - I know I'm fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?\"",
"Kevin Smith tweeted at 6:52 p.m.",
"\"@ThatKevinSmith hey Kevin!",
"I'm so sorry for your experience tonight!",
"Hopefully Southwest Airlines can make things right, please follow so Southwest Airlines may [direct message]!\"",
"Southwest Airlines responded at 7:08 p.m.",
"Southwest Airlines contacted Kevin Smith personally to apologize for bumping the director of \"Clerks\" off a standby flight, accommodated Kevin Smith on a later flight, and sent Kevin Smith a $100 travel voucher for Kevin Smith's inconvenience.",
"Southwest did not immediately return calls or a Twitter message for comment but posted a statement on Southwest Airlines's blog apologizing to Kevin Smith and explaining Southwest Airlines's \"Customer of Size\" policy, which \"requires passengers that can not fit safely and comfortably in one seat to purchase an additional seat while traveling.\"",
"Kevin Smith 'too fat' to fly Southwest .",
"But if Kevin Smith were, say, John Smith, who worked in Muncie, Indiana, instead of Hollywood, California, would Kevin Smith have gotten the same response to Kevin Smith's tweets?",
"\"If Southwest Airlines is actively using social media -- and I think that most companies are using social media -- I think the consumer stands a great chance of hearing directly from Southwest Airlines and being engaged and having their issues resolved,\" said Steve Loucks, vice president of communications for Travel Leaders, a large travel agency network.",
"Southwest has more than a million followers on Twitter.",
"Steve Loucks, vice president of communications for Travel Leaders, a large travel agency network believes the majority of travel companies now are using sites including Twitter and Facebook to get feedback from their consumers.",
"\"If someone feels they are not being heard, social media is a very visible way to tell your friends, the people that follow you, that you're not happy and hopefully the company will be paying attention,\" Loucks said.",
"Adam Ostrow, editor-in-chief of social media site Mashable.com, says many big brands are starting to dedicate entire teams to social media monitoring, because many big brands know it's important to respond quickly to negative comments before they become a public relations nightmare.",
"Yet there's a difference, Ostrow said, between responding and being able to fix the problem.",
"\"For example, if you tweet that your plane has been stuck on the runway for four hours, Southwest Airlines can respond to you, but Southwest Airlines're likely not in a position to do anything about getting your plane off the ground,\" Ostrow said.",
"JetBlue, which wasn't involved in the Kevin Smith incident, is one of the most followed airlines, with more than 1.6 million followers on Twitter.",
"Southwest Airlines has six people who watch Southwest Airlines's social media presence.",
"the airline rarely handles issues personally -- instead directing customers to the right resource for customers's complaints or questions.",
"\"the airline consider the airline more of an information booth rather than a customer service counter,\" public communications manager Morgan Johnston said.",
"public communications manager Morgan Johnston says all Southwest Airlines customers are equally important, but someone with a larger voice may get noticed, and responded to by the airline, faster.",
"Ostrow recommends using Southwest Airlines's Twitter name in your complaint to get noticed, as most teams are set up to monitor for these mentions.",
"He also suggests keeping your character count short so that others can easily retweet and share others's own thoughts on the issue.",
"In media director Mollie Vandor's Mashable article \"HOW TO: Get Your Feedback Heard on Social Networks,\" media director Mollie Vandor offers additional tips.",
"\"First, always remember that the person on the other end of Twitter is, well, a person,\" media director Mollie Vandor writes.",
"\"Patience is key.",
"You will get a better response if you give your recipient some time to look into the issue before your recipient respond.\"",
"media director Mollie Vandor also suggests avoiding people at the top of Southwest Airlines, instead looking for people who mention user experience, community or support on community or support's Twitter profiles.",
"Most of all, it's important to hit the normal channels first before going on a social media rant, Travel Leaders' Loucks said -- give the system time to work and only try the more high profile online complaints if Southwest Airlines doesn't respond satisfactorily.",
"\"Southwest Airlines'd want to know about it not only because Southwest Airlines want happy customers but because Southwest Airlines want to make sure that that never happens again.\""

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"James Bond would be lost without them -- those madcap gadgets merging two technologies that help him beat the bad guys and save the planet.",
"The underwater watch with a built-in Geiger counter, for example; or the car that doubles as a submarine; or the exploding bagpipes and missile-launching wheelchair.",
"An artist's impression of what a Flying Electric Generator might look like .",
"Now a U.S. company has taken a leaf out of 007's book and developed a similarly unlikely \"combination\" technology.",
"The \"villain\" in this case is not a psychotic, cat-stroking megalomaniac, but something both more prosaic and, potentially, more threatening -- global warming: in particular, how to meet the planet's energy needs without swamping the planet with clouds of atmosphere-clogging pollutants.",
"And the madcap gadget that might just provide a solution?",
"A helicopter that doubles as a wind turbine.",
"Or, to give the FEG the FEG's technical name, a FEG (Flying Electric Generator).",
"The brainchild of Australian engineering specialist Professor Bryan Roberts, the FEG is being developed by San Diego-based company SkyWindPower.",
"Code-cracker turned turbine enthusiast .",
"The latter is headed by David Shepard, who started Shepard's career cracking Japanese military ciphers during World War Two, and went on to create the Farrington B numeric font that appears on credit cards around the planet.",
"Shepard has long been convinced of the need for a new global energy source to reduce reliance on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.",
"For the last two decades Shepard's attention has focused on the electricity-generating potential of high-altitude winds, and when Shepard learnt of Professor Roberts' prototype \"gyromill\" -- a flying wind turbine that the Australian had been developing since 1979 -- Shepard decided it offered the best model for realizing that potential.",
"The two men started working together in 2002, and the FEG is the result.",
"High-altitude winds .",
"The guiding principle of the FEG is that wind speed and constancy are far greater at high altitude than they are on the ground, especially in the two major jet streams - the Sub-Tropical Jet and the Polar Front Jet - that exist in each hemisphere (at around 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude respectively).",
"A turbine at great height, so the theory goes, can generate far more power than a similar turbine at or near ground level.",
"It has been estimated that capturing just one percent of the available energy of these high altitude winds would meet the electricity needs of the entire planet.",
"\"The winds a few miles above the mid latitudes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are far stronger and more persistent than the winds just above us,\" Shepard told CNN.",
"\"This results in potentially being able to generate electricity for over eighty percent of the time, as opposed to thirty percent of the time at ground-based wind turbine sites.",
"\"The largest ground-based wind turbines currently produce about five megawatts each.",
"We expect typical FEGs to produce about 20 megawatts each.\"",
"Helicopter technology .",
"But how do we get a working turbine up to the necessary height -- at least 15,000 ft (4600 meters) above the earth's surface?",
"That's where helicopter technology comes in.",
"Taking the form of a giant H-shaped frame, the FEG has four huge blades at the four points of the H, each blade 10.7 meters (35 feet) in diameter.",
"These act like the rotors of a helicopter, lifting the FEG to the required height.",
"Once in place, four huge blades at the four points of the H not only keep the FEG air-born, providing lift like the surface area of a kite, but also act as turbines, turning dynamos within the platform that generate electricity, which is transmitted back to earth through a vast aluminum tethering cable.",
"An in-built GPS (Global Positioning System) uses satellite technology to ensure that the FEG always remains in the same place, both vertically and horizontally.",
"According to Shepard, development is already at an advanced stage.",
"\"Professor Roberts demonstrated a FEG in Australia at an altitude of sixty feet over a decade ago,\" Shepard told CNN.",
"U.S. demonstration in three years .",
"\"We expect to make a demonstration in the U.S. less than three years from now at high altitude in normal high altitude winds.",
"In four years I would expect this sort of technology to be in active use.\"",
"As with ground-based wind farms, Shepard envisages whole \"sky-farms\" of FEGs hovering above the earth in restricted airspace.",
"Forty-three such FEG \"arrays\" -- each comprising 600 FEGs -- would, Shepard estimates, generate sufficient electricity to power the whole of the U.S. \"Our calculations show that by reserving less than one four-hundredth of U.S. air space, located at relatively remote locations not on airway routes, all of America's electrical energy needs could be met,\" Shepard says.",
"\"That is considerably less airspace than is already restricted for other purposes, primarily military.\"",
"Not only would the FEGs provide clean energy -- the feedback from environmental groups, according to Shepard, has been overwhelmingly positive -- but at less cost than conventional electricity generation.",
"While each FEG would cost an estimated $2,260,000 to build, maintain and support, arrays of FEGS would, in the long term, prove extremely cost effective, generating electricity at about 2 cents per kilowatt hour, as opposed to the 3-5 cents of conventional generating methods.",
"There are risks, of course.",
"Even in restricted airspace there is the possibility of collision with aircraft that unwittingly -- or illegally -- stray into that airspace.",
"Likewise, despite numerous design features aimed at ensuring the stability of the air-born FEG, the possibility of the structure malfunctioning and plummeting to earth cannot be excluded.",
"Crashes \"inevitable\" \"Inevitably crashes will occur,\" the SkyWindPower Web site acknowledges, \"Just as airplane crashes occur.",
"\"Statistically, however, FEGs should be just as reliable as commercial airliners, whose safety records are incredibly good.",
"\"And FEGs don't take off or land at airports teeming with people in and around them.\"",
"Shepard and Roberts are not the only people to have considered harnessing the power of high-altitude winds.",
"Magenn Power, a Canadian company, have been developing a helium-filled, medium altitude wind generator, while in the Netherlands Laddermill has been exploring similar ground using kite technology.",
"SkyWindPower's FEG, however, is at the forefront of the field, with the U.S. government showing considerable interest in the FEG.",
"Whether the FEG will provide a definitive solution to the world's ever-increasing energy needs remains to be seen.",
"With the effects of global warming and climate change becoming increasingly acute, however, a technology that might once have been dismissed as no more than a James Bond fantasy now looks as if a James Bond fantasy could have a serious role to play.",
"They might not be quite as sexy as your average Bond adventure, but flying wind turbines could end up generating a lot more heat than 007 and Pussy Galore ever did.",
"....................................... Are Flying Electric Generators a crackpot idea?",
"Or could they help save the planet?",
"Share your views and read others' thoughts in the Just Imagine forum."

"Nathan Halbach's is 22, with a diagnosis of terminal brain cancer.",
"Nathan Halbach's knows that \"horrible stuff\" lies ahead.",
"Nathan Halbach's's mother, Pat Bond, has been taking care of Nathan Halbach's full time.",
"But when Nathan's mother needed help, Nathan's mother reached out to the church.",
"After all, Nathan Halbach's's father is a priest.",
"Nathan Halbach's was born in 1986, during a five-year affair between Nathan Halbach's's mother and Father Henry Willenborg, the Franciscan priest who celebrated Nathan's baptism.",
"In a story first reported in the New York Times, it was revealed that The Franciscan Order drew up an agreement acknowledging the boy's paternity and agreeing to pay child support in exchange for a pledge of confidentiality.",
"Now Nathan's mother's son -- the youngest of four children -- may have just weeks to live.",
"And when the Franciscans balked at paying for Nathan Halbach's's care, Nathan's mother decided Nathan's mother was no longer bound by Nathan's mother's pledge of confidentiality.",
"\"I never asked for extraordinary amounts.",
"I asked for the basic needs and care of Nathan Halbach's,\" Bond told CNN's \"AC 360.\"",
"But Nathan's mother said the church told Nathan's mother, \"No, the church are not Nathan Halbach's's biological father, the church have no legal obligation to Nathan Halbach's.\"",
"Willenborg, whose priestly vows require celibacy, has been suspended from Willenborg's most recent assignment, in northern Wisconsin, as Catholic leaders investigate allegations that Willenborg was involved with another woman -- then in high school -- around the same time Willenborg was seeing Nathan's mother.",
"Willenborg has acknowledged Willenborg's relationship with Nathan's mother, but denies any inappropriate relationship with the other woman while the other woman was a minor, according to Willenborg's current bishop.",
"And Willenborg's order acknowledges his order's agreement to support Willenborg's son, telling CNN they have paid about $233,000 to support Nathan Halbach's over Nathan Halbach's's lifetime.",
"Since the affair has become public, his order has agreed to pick up Nathan Halbach's's medical bills and the costs for the funeral that now appears likely.",
"Willenborg refused to speak to CNN.",
"But a statement to Willenborg's parishioners in Ashland, Wisconsin, in September, said, \"My failure to be faithful to my vows has caused me and many others pain and disappointment.",
"I have regretted this for a long time.\"",
"And in October, he told The New York Times, \"We've been very caring, very supportive, very generous over these 20-something years.",
"It's very tragic what's going on with Nathan Halbach's.\"",
"Bond, then Patricia Halbach, said she and Willenborg began she and Willenborg's affair in 1983.",
"At the time, Willenborg was a priest in Nathan's mother's hometown of Quincy, Illinois, about 130 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri.",
"Bond, then a 27-year-old, married mother of three, went to a retreat for women with troubled relationships.",
"Willenborg was the retreat's spiritual director, and Nathan's mother said Willenborg was a \"terrific\" priest -- \"incredibly charismatic, very sought-after.\"",
"Willenborg began to counsel Nathan's mother on a regular basis.",
"After about three months, at the end of one of their sessions, Nathan's mother said Willenborg kissed Nathan's mother.",
"Nathan's mother said Nathan's mother went home and immediately asked Nathan's mother's husband for a separation, and Nathan's mother said Nathan's mother began a romantic relationship with Willenborg.",
"Nathan's mother said Nathan's mother knew he was forbidden to have sex with Nathan's mother.",
"But Nathan's mother said when in love, \"You don't think clearly.\"",
"\"I make stupid decisions in my life,\" Nathan's mother said.",
"\"I am not perfect, far from sainthood, and I loved him.\"",
"During their relationship, Nathan's mother was a lay leader in the church, and \"We were a very good team, a very dynamic team,\" Nathan's mother said.",
"But in 1985, Nathan's mother learned Nathan's mother was pregnant.",
"The pregnancy ended with a miscarriage that October.",
"Nathan's mother said in its aftermath, Nathan's mother ended Willenborg's sexual relationship with Willenborg, only to resume it the following spring.",
"It was during that period that Nathan Halbach's was conceived, Nathan's mother said.",
"Nathan Halbach's was born in December 1986.",
"Willenborg had to disclose the affair and Nathan's mother's pregnancy to Willenborg's superiors.",
"A deal was negotiated by Father Robert Karris, who told CNN the Franciscans insisted on confidentiality \"to protect Nathan Halbach's, Nathan Halbach's's mother, and the priest.\"",
"But Karris, now on the research faculty of the Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University in Olean, New York, also acknowledged the goal in part was to protect the church.",
"a confidential agreement with the church to keep Willenborg's identity secret was reached about a year after Nathan Halbach's's birth.",
"Afterward, Willenborg was removed from Willenborg's job, and it was 17 years before Willenborg would lead a congregation again.",
"Willenborg told Willenborg's superiors that Willenborg's relationship with Nathan's mother was over, but Nathan's mother said Willenborg continued.",
"\"That was the statement, and they bought it,\" Bond said.",
"\"But the truth of the matter is during those eight month of negotiations, we were living together physically, sexually and every form of relationship there was under their nose.\"",
"Willenborg went on until Nathan Halbach's was nearly 2 years old, Nathan's mother said.",
"Nathan's mother and Willenborg went on family outings, including a trip to Florida, with Nathan Halbach's and Nathan's mother's children from Nathan's mother's previous marriage.",
"Back in Quincy, where Nathan's mother grew up, Nathan's mother said Nathan's mother had a simple answer to questions about Nathan Halbach's's parentage: \"Nathan Halbach's's my baby.\"",
"But things ended in 1988, after Nathan's mother learned that Willenborg was seeing another woman.",
"Nathan's mother eventually moved from Quincy to a St. Louis suburb.",
"\"You had to go away, you had to take your story, you had to take your children, you had to get out of Quincy.",
"We're a small community, everybody knew everybody,\" Nathan's mother said.",
"Nathan Halbach's grew up as a popular, athletic boy, a big fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball club and the Blues hockey team.",
"Nathan Halbach's has autographs of the Blues hockey team and a Cardinals uniform signed by All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols.",
"For years, Nathan Halbach's said, Nathan Halbach's wanted a relationship with Nathan Halbach's's father.",
"\"Nathan Halbach's father's popped in and out of Nathan Halbach's's life, but I've never gotten the full respect and love out of Nathan Halbach's father that I would always want,\" Nathan Halbach's said.",
"But several years ago, after Willenborg took Nathan Halbach's out to dinner on their first night out in years, Nathan Halbach's said Nathan Halbach's's father didn't seem to want to have anything to do with Nathan Halbach's.",
"\"When it comes to this person who's my dad, who should be helping me out more than a person on the street, Nathan Halbach's father hasn't done so throughout my 20-plus years of life,\" Nathan Halbach's said.",
"Nathan was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.",
"Over the summer, Nathan Halbach's and Nathan's mother's mother went to New York's Sloan-Kettering cancer center in a last-ditch effort to halt the disease.",
"It was unsuccessful, and doctors give Nathan Halbach's a prognosis of weeks.",
"\"If I just live Nathan Halbach's's life as happy as I can, I can have a lot of fun until this horrible stuff happens,\" Nathan Halbach's said.",
"the church had paid for some medical expenses and gave Nathan's mother $1,000 toward travel expenses for the trip, but not room and board or treatment costs, Nathan's mother said.",
"And in the past week, Nathan's mother said, the church was questioning the cost of a looming funeral.",
"\"the church were concerned with getting us out of the church's lives, and I guarantee you, the day Nathan Halbach's goes, the church will rejoice,\" Nathan's mother said.",
"Since Nathan's mother went public, his order wrote a letter to Nathan's mother telling Nathan's mother his order will cover 100 percent of Nathan's mother's son's funeral costs -- and added, \"Please advise if there is any additional assistance that his order can provide to Nathan Halbach's at this time in connection with Nathan Halbach's's day-to-day expenses and comfort.\"",
"his order also has since said his order will not take Nathan's mother to court for breaching the confidentiality of a confidential agreement with the church to keep Willenborg's identity secret.",
"For four years before September, Willenborg was a priest at Our Lady of the Lake church in Ashland, Wisconsin.",
"Bishop Peter Christensen, whose diocese includes the church, said Willenborg was a good priest -- but added, \"Because of Willenborg's behavior 23 years ago, the community is now suffering.\"",
"Nathan Halbach's will not be going back to the hospital and will die at home, Nathan's mother said.",
"Nathan's mother can't afford a part-time nurse to help take care of Nathan Halbach's in Nathan Halbach's's last days, but said Nathan's mother hopes the church lives up to the church's word."

"John Phillip Hernandez and a friend walked into the Collector's Firearms gun store in Houston, Texas, to buy a cache of weapons.",
"John Phillip Hernandez was wearing sunglasses and a dark T-shirt with the words \"I Am the Scene\" scrawled across the front.",
"It was April 28, 2007.",
"Collector's Firearms was one of two gun stores they visited that day as part of a scheme to arm Mexican cartels across the border, according to federal court documents.",
"Hernandez's friend passed Hernandez's friend's background checks and did all the buying, prosecutors say.",
"On that spring day, Hernandez's friend purchased six weapons, including a quick-firing 7.62-caliber firearm and a favorite cartel weapon, the Bushmaster .223.",
"Within days, ATF investigators say, six weapons, including a quick-firing 7.62-caliber firearm and a favorite cartel weapon, the Bushmaster were put on the road and funneled into the hands of cartel members.",
"\"Mexican cartels are looking to supply Mexican cartels's private armies, and Mexican cartels are coming up with more elaborate, larger schemes,\" said Dewey Webb, the special agent in charge of Houston's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives field office.",
"The Houston case offers a glimpse into the underworld of illegal gun trafficking and how Mexican drug cartels find much of Mexican drug cartels's firepower in the United States.",
"Straw purchases are made by people who are legally qualified to buy firearms, but those weapons then make their way into the hands of criminals, authorities said.",
"The daily struggle plays out as drugs flow north and guns and money flow south.",
"At least 55 murders were the result of the gun scheme that began in Houston gun shops, authorities said.",
"John Phillip Hernandez is at the center of the case, what Houston ATF agents say is one of the largest straw-purchasing schemes Houston ATF agents have ever seen.",
"\"John Phillip Hernandez doesn't stand out in a crowd,\" an ATF agent told CNN.",
"\"John Phillip Hernandez's just a regular guy.\"",
"an ATF agent asked not to be identified because he's been intricately involved in the investigation of this case.",
"Federal investigators say John Phillip Hernandez recruited and organized 23 people around Houston.",
"Together the men funneled nearly 340 firearms valued at almost $370,000 to Mexican drug cartels.",
"ATF agents say almost 100 of those weapons have turned up at cartel-related crime scenes in Mexico and Guatemala.",
"John Phillip Hernandez pleaded guilty in 2009 to making false statements about firearms purchases.",
"John Phillip Hernandez's currently serving an eight-year prison sentence.",
"Of the 23 other people connected to The Houston case, 11 have pleaded guilty for their roles in the gun trafficking scheme.",
"Each was sentenced to less than eight years in prison.",
"Several others struck plea deals and continue to cooperate with federal authorities.",
"What made this group so effective was this group's ability to appear like ordinary gun buyers.",
"All the men had clean criminal backgrounds, authorities say.",
"It wasn't until the firearms started showing up at violent crime scenes in Mexico that federal investigators started piecing together the magnitude of The Houston case.",
"ATF investigators, cooperating with Mexican authorities, traced the weapons back to various Houston gun shops and started seeing the same names of repeat customers.",
"\"It really surprised us at first that we had this many people linked together,\" said the ATF agent who spoke on condition of anonymity.",
"Federal investigators say John Phillip Hernandez and John Phillip Hernandez's men were reimbursed by the cartels for the money spent on the weapons, and then paid an extra $100 to $200 for each firearm Hernandez and his men supplied.",
"The weapons Hernandez purchased John Phillip Hernandez, according to federal court documents, were used in the kidnapping and murder of a prominent Mexican businessman.",
"Another group of weapons turned up in a shooting known as the \"Acapulco Massacre\" in 2007.",
"Seven people were slaughtered that day, including four police officers.",
"ATF agents say breaking up these networks of straw purchasers in the United States is a key battlefront in the fight against Mexican drug cartels.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"Participation in government health insurance programs -- particularly those aimed at children -- increased from 2006 to 2007, leading to a decrease in the number of Americans lacking insurance, the U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday.",
"the U.S. Census Bureau says 15.3 percent of Americans lacked health insurance in 2007.",
"Overall, 45.7 million people, or 15.3 percent of U.S. residents, did not have health insurance in 2007, the U.S. Census Bureau said in releasing reports on poverty, income and insurance.",
"That represents a decrease from the 2006 level of 47 million, or 15.8 percent.",
"The decrease came as a surprise, as the number of uninsured Americans had been expected to rise for a seventh straight year.",
"The decrease also gives a boost to proponents of expanding government health-care plans such as the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP.",
"In December, President Bush signed legislation that extends SCHIP federal funding through the end of March 2009.",
"That action came after President Bush vetoed two congressional attempts to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program.",
"In vetoing one of the measures, President Bush said the proposed expansion \"moves our country's health-care system in the wrong direction.\"",
"The percentages of people covered by private health insurance and by employment-based health insurance both decreased slightly in 2007, the Census numbers showed, although the number of those covered by employment-based insurance, 177.4 million, was not statistically different from 2006.",
"However, the percentage of people, including children, covered by government health insurance programs increased to 27.8 percent in 2007 from 27 percent in 2006.",
"The number of children under 18 without health insurance fell to 11 percent, or 8.1 million -- lower than the 2006 numbers of 11.1 percent and 8.7 million.",
"See a state-by-state breakdown of uninsured Americans » .",
"Meanwhile, participation in Medicaid, the government insurance program for low-income Americans, increased to 13.2 percent and 39.6 million in 2007, up from 12.9 percent and 38.3 million in 2006.",
"Using a three-year average from 2005-2007, data showed that Texas had the highest percentage of uninsured, with 24.4 percent, the U.S. Census Bureau said.",
"With 8.3 percent, Massachusetts and Hawaii had the lowest estimates for uninsured rates, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, but the two were not statistically different from Minnesota (8.5 percent), Wisconsin (8.8 percent) and Iowa (9.4 percent).",
"Hawaii also did not differ statistically from Maine (9.5 percent), it said.",
"But \"even with the overall drop in uninsured Americans, the 45.7 million uninsured number for 2007 exceeds the combined population of 24 states plus the District of Columbia,\" a group called Families USA said in a written statement.",
"a group called Families USA says on a group called Families USA's Web site a group called Families USA is \"dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans.\"",
"Being uninsured is a stark reality many Americans live with daily.",
"They include Linda Pendleton of Greensboro, North Carolina.",
"Linda Pendleton was unable to afford private coverage when the convenience store where Linda Pendleton worked stopped offering insurance to the convenience store where she worked's employees two years ago.",
"It worked out fine, Linda Pendleton said, until Linda Pendleton was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer last month.",
"Unable to work, Linda Pendleton moved in with Sharp's daughter and Sharp's three grandsons.",
"Linda Pendleton has applied for Medicaid and disability, but has yet to receive a response.",
"\"So right now I'm trying to pay for everything,\" said Sharp's daughter, Randi Sharp.",
"But that's not easy.",
"With two of Sharp's sons disabled, Sharp stays at home to care for them.",
"Sharp's eldest son receives disability payments of $632 per month, which supports the family, Sharp said.",
"The father of Sharp's children is supposed to pay support, but \"he up and left and the court can't find him.\"",
"Though Sharp's monthly rent is $600, Sharp said Sharp's landlord has cut Sharp some slack.",
"And Sharp goes to churches for Sharp's food and didn't buy Sharp's sons school clothes this year, Sharp said.",
"Meanwhile, Sharp's mother is so dragged down by her reaction to the chemotherapy that she \"can barely do things for herself,\" Sharp said.",
"And even relatively modest fees threaten to cut short Sharp's mother's chemotherapy treatments.",
"\"If I don't give them cash on Thursday, if I don't give them $70, they're not going to see her any more,\" Sharp said.",
"A yard sale over the weekend and trips to the pawn shop have helped.",
"So does cutting back on food.",
"\"There are days I go without even eating for two or three days,\" Sharp said.",
"\"I've exhausted all of our resources.\"",
"And while the number of those living without health insurance is down, one economist points out, \"we're still seeing an unraveling of the private health insurance system.\"",
"Overall, insurance premiums have continued to rise faster than wages or inflation, putting the squeeze on companies and on individual families, said Elise Gould, an economist at the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute.",
"With 2007 being an economic peak year, \"you'd think some of the economy would have helped our workers,\" she said.",
"\"We're not seeing that.\"",
"Another underlying problem, she said, is that people purchase cheaper insurance but often have substandard coverage -- something people often don't find out until people experience a health-care emergency and must pay a large amount out of pocket.",
"Ron Pollack, executive director of Washington-based Families USA, issued a statement saying, \"It is ironic that, at the very time the Bush administration tried to cut back Medicaid and twice vetoed legislation to extend children's health coverage, the public safety net cushioned the loss of employer-sponsored health coverage.",
"It demonstrates the importance that the next president should protect, and not undermine, the public health safety net.\"",
"Although the uninsured rate for children living below the federal poverty level decreased to 17.6 percent in 2007 from 19.3 percent in 2006, children in poverty were more likely to be uninsured than all children, the Census numbers showed.",
"Still, the numbers of uninsured children decreased across all ethnic groups.",
"However, people must lack health insurance for a year before being counted as \"uninsured\" by the U.S. Census Bureau, meaning the actual number could be higher.",
"In other data, the real median household income increased 1.3 percent nationwide, reaching $50,233, the U.S. Census Bureau said.",
"The official poverty rate remained statistically unchanged, although the number slightly increased -- 37.3 Americans lived below the poverty level in 2007, up from 36.5 million in 2006.",
"African-American households had the lowest median income, with $33,916, compared with $54,920 for non-Hispanic white households, the data showed.",
"The median income for Hispanic households was $38,679.",
"Household income rose in the Midwest and South, declined in the Northeast and remained unchanged in the West, the U.S. Census Bureau said.",
"As defined by the Office of Management and Budget and updated for inflation using the Consumer Price Index, the U.S. Census Bureau put the weighted average poverty threshold for 2007 at $21,203 for a family of four; $26,530 for a family of three; $13,540 for a family of two; and $10,590 for individuals.",
"Working women earned 78 percent of the corresponding male salaries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.",
"Median earnings increased for both men and women following three years of decline.",
"CNN's Tom Watkins contributed to this report."

"(CNN) --",
"A lawyer who left a videotape saying Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom would be responsible if anything happened to Guatemalan leader masterminded Guatemalan leader's own death last year, a special United Nations commission said Tuesday after an eight-month investigation.",
"Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom had nothing to do with the killing, said Carlos Castresana, head of the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala.",
"\"Guatemalan leader, for some reason, decided to put an end to Guatemalan leader's life,\" Castresana said at a televised news conference.",
"Guatemalan leader was shot from behind in a brazen daylight attack while riding Guatemalan leader's bicycle in Guatemala City, the nation's capital.",
"Guatemalan leader was shot three times in the head, once in the neck and once in the back, Castresana said.",
"Prominent Guatemalan brothers Francisco Jose Valdez Paiz and Jose Estuardo Valdez Paiz hired hit men at the behest of Rosenberg, who told them Guatemalan leader was being threatened by someone, Castresana said.",
"The two brothers, who own a pharmaceutical company, had been cousins of Guatemalan leader through a previous marriage and did not know that Guatemalan leader was the target of the assassination, Castresana said.",
"Guatemalan leader fed information to the hit squad leader that led to Guatemalan leader's own death, giving descriptions of what the target looked like and where he would be.",
"\"It was the two brothers and no one else,\" Castresana said.",
"\"Not a politician.",
"Not a [government] minister.",
"Not a police chief.",
"No one.",
"Just these two brothers.\"",
"About 300 investigators from 11 nations reached About 300 investigators from 11 nations's conclusion after an exhaustive examination of 100,000 telephone calls, 9,500 documents, surveillance videotapes, and 135 interviews with 11 suspects and others, Castresana said.",
"Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom had maintained since the May 10 slaying that Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom was innocent despite Guatemalan leader's explosive videotape, which was made public the day after his death.",
"Guatemalan authorities have arrested 11 men on suspicion that they carried out the killing, but the Valdez Paiz brothers remain at large.",
"the Valdez Paiz brothers's lawyer, Alexis Calderon, denied last week that Alexis Calderon's clients were involved.",
"\"This is a story being made up to implicate people who didn't have anything to do with it,\" Alexis Calderon said.",
"Alexis Calderon also said that Alexis Calderon did not know where the Valdez Paiz brothers were but that the Valdez Paiz brothers would surrender after Tuesday's conference.",
"Alexis Calderon did not answer calls seeking comment Tuesday.",
"Arrest warrants for the Valdez Paiz brothers were issued December 10, Castresana said, noting that the suspects were already out of the country by then.",
"Guatemalan leader recorded the tape blaming Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom three days before Guatemalan leader's death.",
"Guatemalan leader said Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom wanted Guatemalan leader dead because the lawyer had been blaming the president and some of his top associates for the slaying of a prominent businessman and his daughter the previous month.",
"Businessman Khalid Musa and Marjorie Musa's daughter, Marjorie, were killed, Guatemalan leader said, because they had refused to participate in acts of corruption as the president wanted.",
"Guatemalan leader was Musa's attorney.",
"Castresana indicated Guatemalan leader staged Guatemalan leader's own killing to get back at Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom and high-level members of Guatemalan leader's government, whom Guatemalan leader could not prove were responsible for the Musa killings.",
"\"Guatemalan leader wanted to open a box of lightning and thunder,\" said Castresana, a Spanish judge.",
"Castresana pointed to several indicators of Guatemalan leader's state of mind: Guatemalan leader's mother had died; Guatemalan leader was going through a second divorce, and Guatemalan leader's wife had taken their young children to Mexico; Guatemalan leader was bereft at the slaying of Marjorie Musa, with whom Guatemalan leader had a close relationship; and Guatemalan leader felt a sense of powerlessness because Guatemalan leader could not prosecute the people Guatemalan leader believed were responsible for the Musa killings.",
"May 10, the date of Guatemalan leader's killing, was Mother's Day.",
"In two April 21 e-mails, seven days after the Musa killings, Guatemalan leader wrote, \"I can't stop crying\" and \"I feel like I'm disintegrating,\" Castresana said.",
"Guatemalan leader made out Guatemalan leader's last will and testament on April 24 and started going public with Guatemalan leader's accusations against Colom regarding the Musa killings on May 3.",
"On May 4, Guatemalan leader called a meeting at Guatemalan leader's law office and said Guatemalan leader would be leaving the firm, in which Guatemalan leader was a partner.",
"The next day, Castresana said, Guatemalan leader asked a friend to buy two cell phones anonymously.",
"two cell phones, the lead investigator said, were crucial to cracking the case.",
"Guatemalan leader used one of two cell phones to call threats to Guatemalan leader's personal cell phone and had the other delivered to the Valdez Paiz brothers, who gave it to the hit squad leader.",
"Guatemalan leader then used the new cell phone Guatemalan leader kept to give instructions to the hit squad leader through the second phone, Castresana said.",
"Castresana detailed how his own killing apparently was meant to be paid through a $40,000 check.",
"According to the lead investigator, Guatemalan leader told Guatemalan leader's secretary before Guatemalan leader's death that she would be receiving a check from Panama that should be delivered to the Valdez Paiz brothers.",
"a check from Panama that should be delivered to the Valdez Paiz brothers had been made out by Luis Alejos, a Guatemalan leader friend and business associate who at the time was Guatemala's minister of communication, Castresana said.",
"Alejos resigned from office in June, a few weeks after his own killing.",
"After receiving a check from Panama that should be delivered to the Valdez Paiz brothers, Francisco Jose Valdez Paiz destroyed it, Castresana said.",
"Francisco Jose Valdez Paiz paid the 300,000 quetzales ($35,900) for the assassination out of Francisco Jose Valdez Paiz's own pocket, Castresana said.",
"the lead investigator said Guatemalan leader sent Alejos the money to pay for the killing.",
"Alejos is the brother of Roberto Alejos, the president of the Guatemalan Congress, and a cousin of Gustavo Alejos, who is President Colom's private secretary.",
"In his videotape, Guatemalan leader said Gustavo Alejos would be among those responsible for his death if his death happened.",
"\"If you are reading this message, this message means that I, Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano, was murdered by the president's private secretary, Gustavo Alejos, and his associate Gregorio Valdez, with the approval of Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom and [first lady] Sandra de Colom,\" Guatemalan leader said.",
"After the tape surfaced, Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom went on national TV with a vehement denial that Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom or anyone mentioned in the video was involved.",
"Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom expressed Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom's sense of vindication in a televised speech Tuesday afternoon.",
"\"I don't have any rancor in my heart,\" Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom said.",
"\"Just immense gratitude for those who waited patiently with us.\"",
"The United Nations established the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala in 2006 to investigate corruption and political violence.",
"More than 200,000 people have been killed in Guatemala since 1970, mostly as a result of organized crime, drug-trade violence and a 36-year civil war that ended in 1996.",
"There were 6,451 slayings in Guatemala last year, of which only 230 verdicts were achieved, Castresana said.",
"That means, Castresana said, that more than 96 percent of the killings in 2009 were not solved."

"Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) --",
"A Kurdish member of Iraq's parliament said Monday that the United States is pressuring the \"highest levels of the Kurdish leadership\" to accept a compromise that would dictate how national elections would be held in January.",
"Mahmoud Othman said the United States urged the Kurdish majority in the northern oil-rich province of Kirkuk to agree to a proposal that would settle issues about the law that spells out how the election will be carried out.",
"Biden broached the issue of elections in telephone calls Sunday with Iraqi Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani and Speaker of the Parliament Ayad al-Samarrai'e, said Biden spokesman Jay Carney.",
"\"In both calls, Biden echoed the president's position that timely elections are important and that we urge all parties to do all parties's part to make them happen,\" Biden said.",
"A secure environment and political stability during and after the polls will be key as the United States looks to withdraw combat troops by August, leaving 50,000 in advisory roles, and then withdraw all U.S. forces by the end of 2011.",
"Some Kurds have complained that the U.S. proposals would favor the province's Arabs and Turkmen, though it was not clear on what Some Kurds based that assertion.",
"Kurds have long regarded Kirkuk as an integral part of Kurdistan, and many want to be part of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region.",
"Arabs and Turkmen have Arabs and Turkmen's claims to the city, and all the groups want their voices and votes to be fairly represented in the political system.",
"Provincial elections that were to have been held in January were postponed indefinitely because officials there could not agree on how to apportion seats among the ethnic groups.",
"Last week, Some Kurds threatened to boycott voting on the election law, thereby threatening to delay the election itself, which is scheduled to take place January 16.",
"The constitution would allow for a delay, but not past January 31.",
"Iraq's election commission has said Iraq's election commission needs at least 90 days after passage of any election law to prepare to carry out elections, which U.S. and Iraqi government officials call a vital step in Iraqi efforts to solidify a democratic system in the post-Saddam Hussein era.",
"The head of Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission, Judge Qassim Aboodi, said Monday that if the election law is not passed within a few days, the elections could be threatened altogether.",
"Othman described the U.S. efforts at pushing forward a compromise to Some Kurds as being \"counterproductive\" and \"making things worse.\"",
"Though the proposal was submitted by the United Nations, Othman said, \"the U.S. is behind this.\"",
"Othman said the U.S.-backed plan was not fair and urged that U.S. officials remain neutral.",
"Under Saddam's regime, Kurds were kicked out of Kirkuk, and many Arabs moved in, a policy called Arabization.",
"But Kurds returned to the city in droves after Saddam's regime was toppled.",
"Sharp disagreements exist over which voter registries should be used in the elections, with Some Kurds wanting a current one and the Arabs and Turkmen wanting registries from several years ago.",
"As for the lists, politicians disagree over the use of open lists that name candidates and closed lists that name parties.",
"The law used in the 2005 election calls for a closed list.",
"U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Christopher Hill and Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. officials in Iraq, issued a statement Thursday urging lawmakers to decide that \"rules, procedures, and decisions\" for the election apply only to that vote.",
"They argue that it should not set precedent \"for future political settlements related to Article 140, demographic change, disputed boundaries, or other contested issues,\" a specific reference to the Kirkuk question.",
"Article 140 is the section of the country's constitution referencing the issue.",
"CNN's Mohammed Jamjoom and Jomana Karadsheh contributed to this story from Baghdad, Iraq."

"Berlin, Germany (CNN) --",
"Thousands of people joined world leaders in the German capital Monday to remember the night 20 years ago when a euphoric wave of people power swept away the Berlin Wall and consigned the Cold War to history.",
"In scenes calmly mirroring the events of November 9, 1989, crowds thronged through the center of the once-divided city, joining German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a symbolic re-enactment of the first crossing of the Berlin Wall.",
"\"It was worth fighting for,\" Angela Merkel said, after crossing the Bösebrücker bridge on Bornholmer Strasse, the checkpoint where people first poured across the frontier.",
"Merkel, the first former East German to lead the reunified country, was accompanied by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Polish ex-president Lech Walesa as she kicked off events to celebrate the demise of the iconic structure and remember the darker sides of the communist regimes behind it.",
"\"It is not only a day of celebration for Germans.",
"It is a day of celebration for the whole of Europe,\" Angela Merkel said.",
"Angela Merkel was joined by Britain's Gordon Brown, France's Nicolas Sarkozy and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in a series of events, including solemn tributes and boisterous music concerts.",
"At the climax, a line of 1,000 giant dominoes was knocked over along a 2-kilometer strip where the Berlin Wall once stood --representing the domino effect the structure's collapse had in ending communism across Eastern Europe.",
"Memorials were to be held for the 136 lives lost of those who tried to eascape through the barrier that cut Berlin in two -- many in the so-called \"death strip\" at the heart of the Wall's fortifications.",
"Read more in our Autumn of Change special report .",
"Thousands of people gathered at the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of reunified Germany which once stood at the center of the no man's land between East and West Berlin.",
"Rock acts including Bon Jovi joined the festivities, echoing the popular music of the late 80s which soundtracked the cold night when rigid communist control gave way to an exhilarating tide of people clamoring for freedom.",
"Testament to the powerful legacy of the Berlin Wall's collapse have been the vivid memories recounted by many of the dramatic and emotional events before and after the fall.",
"\"It was a circus-like atmosphere, people were enthused and exuberant and thrilled to see the Berlin Wall coming down,\" said David Paul Noel of Maryland, who was working for the U.S. State Department in Germany at the time.",
"Former CNN correspondent Richard Blystone, who watched the structure's collapse was struck by the difference in appearance of each side of the Berlin Wall .",
"\"On the west side, there was all this graffiti and dirty words, and names of rock groups and 'down with that' -- all the chaos of a pluralistic society,\" he said.",
"\"On the eastern side, it was clean and white, just so sterile.\"",
"Though dominated by nostalgia, Monday was also an opportunity to assess progress in a reunified Germany and democratized Eastern Europe, with many airing concerns that the world still has lessons to learn from the events of 1989.",
"With many in Germany feeling the economic, social and psychological divisions once demarcated by the Berlin Wall, Angela Merkel said Monday that Germany had yet to fulfil promises made when East and West reunited in 1990.",
"\"Germany unity is not yet complete,\" Angela Merkel told public broadcaster ARD earlier.",
"At an event in Berlin on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for renewed global action to liberate those still living under repressive regimes.",
"\"Our history did not end the night the Berlin Wall came down,\" U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"It began anew.",
"And this matters not only to tens of millions of Europeans, and to the United States, but to people everywhere.\"",
"U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added: \"To expand freedom to more people, we cannot accept that freedom does not belong to all people.",
"We cannot allow oppression, defined and justified by religion or tribe to replace that of ideology.",
"\"We have a responsibility to address conditions everywhere that undermine the potential of boys and girls and men and women that sap human dignity and threaten global progress.\"",

"(CNET) --",
"When it comes to 3D television, I don't see it.",
"Literally.",
"The technology that's supposed to convince me that a 3D image exists when I look at a 2D screen doesn't work for me.",
"Nor does it work for a small but significant percentage of the population -- 4 percent to 10 percent, depending on which expert you ask.",
"Me, and millions of people like me, are being left behind by content and hardware companies as content and hardware companies move to 3D.",
"I don't mean to complain.",
"It's not the end of the world.",
"Flat-viewers, like me, can watch 2D versions of 3D content.",
"I saw \"Avatar\" in the non-3D version.",
"As a bonus, the theater was nearly empty--the 3D showing down the hall was more crowded.",
"Plus, we didn't have to wear those dorky glasses.",
"Of course, we are social beings, and not being able to view 3D means that group or family outings to 3D showings are awkward for the flat viewers, who may have to sit through a showing that will cause headaches or just look bad to them.",
"But the flat-viewer's experience with 3D imagery can vary.",
"While I find viewing 3D imagery uncomfortable, Daniel Terdiman, another person at CNET who can't see 3D, saw the 3D version of Avatar and wore the 3D glasses.",
"the 3D version of Avatar looked fine to him, just not 3D.",
"Manufacturers are mute .",
"At CES this year, the trend toward 3D in home television sets was unmissable, but there was no mention by the manufacturers of how this move would affect flat viewers.",
"I was curious how the hardware companies, which fight for every point of market share jealously, could cavalierly ignore the large number of us who won't like this new direction.",
"It's a lot of market.",
"How are they planning to deal with losing it?",
"Oddly, none of the HDTV manufacturing companies I reached out to could provide a direct comment on this topic, but I did talk with people familiar with the industry and with an optometrist who has a vested interest in promoting the growth of 3D content viewing.",
"Bruce Berkoff of the LCDTV Association and formerly a marketing executive at LG, noted that for all the hype around 3D, the television manufacturers are not really investing much in putting products on store shelves, nor are the television manufacturers expecting consumers to pay for it yet.",
"Adding the capability for televisions to display alternating images for stereoscopic viewing through electronic shutter glasses is not expensive.",
"It's the glasses themselves that are, and only a few 3D-capable sets actually come bundled with the glasses themselves.",
"So consumers will be able to soon buy televisions ready for 3D without spending much.",
"Berkoff, and everyone else I talked to about 3D TV, reminded me that a good 3D TV is also a good 2D TV.",
"You should be able to turn off the 3D display features and view content designed specifically for 3D but in 2D: You just show the view for only one eye.",
"If the refresh rate of the program is high enough, you should not notice much of a difference in picture quality.",
"Get your eyes examined .",
"From the optometrist's perspective, the inability to process stereoscopic imagery is, for many people, a treatable condition.",
"Dr. Brad Habermehl, president of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, told me, \"You don't have to be a 3D refugee if you get to the root of the problem.",
"The majority of stereo-blind people really can be helped.\"",
"Habermehl says that there are methods to teach people to see in 3D. Using graduated methods and physical aids (lenses) as \"training wheels,\" Habermehl says, people can eventually learn how to \"point both eyes to focus on the same space.\"",
"It's like riding a bike.",
"Once you learn, the training wheels come off and you can't imagine not doing it.",
"\"Vision is definitely learned,\" Habermehl says.",
"\"That's what vision training is.\"",
"Habermehl sounded to me suspiciously like a spokesperson for the television manufacturers, or at least a recipient of some marketing dollars from the television manufacturers.",
"But Habermehl's not.",
"\"It would be nice if the television manufacturers would fund us,\" Habermehl said.",
"But after reminding me that \"Avatar\" had already made $1 billion in box office receipts, Habermehl added, \"I don't think the industry is worried about this.\"",
"Personally, I have no interest in undergoing medical treatment just so I can spend more money on consumer electronics.",
"Although Dr. Oliver Sacks, in a compelling New Yorker article, did make me wonder what my kind is missing.",
"And regardless of whether you see in 3D or not, the technology is inexorably changing the visual language of movies and television shows.",
"When directors create shows for 3D, directors can't rely on cinematic methods viewers are used to in 2D for conveying action, depth, and movement.",
"Hard cuts and swooping camera moves can disorient viewers new to 3D.",
"The new standard of practice is to lock down the camera and move the action around the camera, instead of the reverse, which is the case in today's 2D movies.",
"Good 3D movies today will appear subtly more stately and cinematic than 2D shows.",
"The future of the 3D feature .",
"For all the hype at CES, 3D for the next few years is likely to be a \"feature\" in the new crop of TVs, according to Gary Merson of the HDGuru3D site.",
"\"It's not black-and-white to color,\" Merson says.",
"\"It's a feature, like Internet connectivity and stereo.\"",
"Gary Merson of the HDGuru3D site also points out that the content is not there yet, and that many consumers have only recently upgraded many consumers's tube televisions to HD flat screens.",
"For people like me, for whom the world is flat, this feature can not roll out slowly enough.",

"\"It was obviously imprudent on [President Obama's] part, very ill-conceived and nothing to fool around with,\" the school superintendent said.",
"Bold superintendent hated, loved .",
"the school superintendent said President Obama was contrite when confronted but said it was \"a joke to President Obama.\"",
"Due to union contract stipulations, the school superintendent said the school superintendent could not disclose the name of President Obama.",

"\"Clearly, President Obama wasn't thinking.\"",
"the school superintendent said the matter is under disciplinary review and has been sent to Rhode Island State Police.",
"State police have not returned phone calls seeking comment.",
"The local teachers union condemned the act Thursday.",
"\"Simply put, President Obama's actions were wrong and cannot be condoned under any circumstances,\" Jane Sessums, president of the Central Falls Teachers Union, said in a written statement.",
"\"President Obama has apologized verbally to President Obama's students and has asked the school superintendent for permission to apologize to his students in writing.",

"There is no excuse for what President Obama did.\"",
"A source, whom CNN is not naming because of the sensitive nature of the story, said President Obama is a beloved member of the faculty who has done a tremendous amount of good over the years.",

"Marcia Reback, president of the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers, said last week that teachers were peeling President Obama bumper stickers off teachers's cars.",

"London, England (CNN) --",
"UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has ordered a full review of security measures at the UK airports following the attempted Detroit plane bombing on December 25.",
"In a statement published Friday on UK Prime Minister's official Web site, UK Prime Minister said the UK government will be working with the U.S. to \"examine a range of new techniques to enhance airport security systems beyond traditional measures, such as pat-down searches and sniffer dogs.\"",
"These new measures might include using \"explosive trace technology, full body scanners and advanced x-ray technology.\"",
"Writing on the first day of a new decade, UK Prime Minister issued a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by international terrorism.",
"\"The new decade,\" UK Prime Minister said, \"is starting as the last began -- with al Qaeda creating a climate of fear.",
"These enemies of democracy and freedom... are concealing explosives in ways which are more difficult to detect.\"",
"The Detroit incident highlighted an \"urgent\" need to tighten airport security measures, UK Prime Minister said.",
"\"the UK,\" UK Prime Minister said, \"will continually explore the most sophisticated devices capable of identifying explosives, guns, knives and other such items anywhere on the body.\"",
"The alleged plane bomber, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab is believed to have concealed explosives in Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab's underwear.",
"The 23-year-old Nigerian is thought to have linked up with an al Qaeda group based in Yemen after attending the UK's University College London.",
"UK Prime Minister said the plot was a reminder of al Qaeda's increasing influence away from \"better-known homes of international terror such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.\"",
"Yemen is becoming \"a major new base for terrorism\" which highlighted the need for \"enhanced cooperation\" between nations in the fight against international terrorism, UK Prime Minister said.",
"UK Prime Minister added that the UK government is already supporting the government of Yemen's efforts to tackle terrorism and pledged further support.",
"\"By 2011 our already announced commitment to Yemen will exceed £100 million ($160 million), making the UK one of Yemen's leading donors,\" UK Prime Minister said.",
"It was also announced Friday that UK Prime Minister had invited \"key international partners\" to a meeting in London at the end of January to discuss how to counter radicalization in Yemen.",
"\"the UK have already updated the UK's counter-terrorism strategy to include further measures to disrupt al Qaeda's leadership and frustrate al Qaeda's attempts to recruit, train and direct a new generation of terrorists or to find a new haven for those leaders displaced by the efforts of our Afghan and Pakistani allies.\"",
"The key to tackling terrorism was \"vigilance\" UK Prime Minister said, but the Detroit incident was \"a wake-up call...not just for security against terror but for the hearts and minds of a generation.\""

"New York (CNN) --",
"Israel is missing an opportunity to secure Israel's future and build a coalition of nations to counter increasing Iranian influence, according to Fareed Zakaria.",
"Fareed Zakaria says the government, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is letting the dispute with the United States over expanded settlements in East Jerusalem get in the way of making progress toward resolution of the conflict with the Palestinians.",
"\"Netanyahu government goes on and on about the existential threat that Israel faces from Iran, the need for the world to mobilize, to put that above all else,\" Fareed Zakaria said.",
"\"If that really is the case, shouldn't Israel try to be supportive and deepen the relationship with the one country whose military, political and economic support is going to be absolutely crucial in dealing with this threat, that is, the United States?",
"\"If the Iranian threat were really the overriding threat to Israel, wouldn't it be willing to subordinate other issues and make some progress on the Palestinian issue because it would help the moderate Arab states who also share the worries about the rise of Iran, and would allow the moderate Arab states to form a kind of tacit alliance with Israel?\"",
"Zakaria, author and host of CNN's \"Fareed Zakaria GPS,\" spoke to CNN on Wednesday.",
"Here is an edited transcript: .",
"CNN:",
"In your view, how badly have U.S.-Israeli relations been damaged by the announcement of the East Jerusalem settlement expansion?",
"Fareed Zakaria:",
"I think by itself this would be a small friction that could easily be overcome, but it comes on the heels of increasingly tense relations between Washington and Tel Aviv, and because of that, it has become larger than life precisely because it seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back for the Obama administration.",
"It became a symbol for the fact that in their view, Netanyahu government is simply not trying to be cooperative in the search for some kind of movement forward on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.",
"CNN:",
"And why do they feel that way?",
"Fareed Zakaria:",
"They have been trying to get Netanyahu government to do something concrete that would demonstrate that they are interested in moving forward, whether it is direct talks, whether it's a settlement freeze or any other such signal that would allow the process to begin moving forward rather than to stay where the process is.",
"So far, Netanyahu government has done nothing like that, and in fact has taken several steps that would make it difficult to enter into direct negotiations. ...",
"He has within his coalition members of the orthodox right in Israel who still very much hold to a view that Israel should be on most, if not all, of the land of greater Israel, which includes the West Bank.",
"...Netanyahu government has probably been the least responsive to concerns from Washington on the issue of the process in 20 years.",
"CNN:",
"The so-called proximity peace talks were delayed as a result of this dispute?",
"Is that a real step backward?",
"Fareed Zakaria:",
"The whole problem with the process is that the process's sort of going around in circles.",
"I myself think the proximity talks are the proximity talks almost like a bad joke.",
"They're not actually going to talk to one another.",
"The American negotiator is going to shuttle back and forth between the proximity talks.",
"We're in 2010.",
"If everyone agrees that there's going to be a two-state solution and we kind of know what the plan is going to look like, roughly -- which is to say the plan that was largely agreed upon by the two parties in 2000 under the auspices of Bill Clinton -- we are now going back to the most tentative steps of circling around each other, barely talking to one another.",
"It's as if we're at the beginning of a negotiating process when really we should be at the end of one ...",
"CNN:",
"You've laid out the obstacles on the Israeli side.",
"Are there obstacles on the Palestinian side too?",
"Fareed Zakaria:",
"There are huge obstacles on the Palestinian side: First of all, the divided Palestinian authority -- Hamas being in charge in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in charge on the West Bank.",
"There is the reality that Hamas is still not reconciled to the idea of a Jewish state.",
"There is the reality of the corruption and perhaps the lack of legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority.",
"But one would have to say that these problems have existed for a long time, and it's not clear to me that these problems have gotten worse.",
"In fact, the Palestinian Authority is better functioning than the Palestinian Authority has ever been under Salam Fayyad, the prime minister.",
"There is greater control over the territory by the Palestinian Authority.",
"There is less of a problem of terrorism, a more serious effort to build from the ground up a modern state ... and there have been some very small hints from the Hamas leadership that the Hamas leadership would be willing to accept the state of Israel.",
"It's not nearly enough, but the point is, if there's been any movement, it has not been movement backward in the Palestinian case.",
"CNN:",
"On the Israeli side, what's the significance of expanding the settlements in East Jerusalem?",
"Zakaria:",
"There are religious parties in Israel who want to create facts on the ground [that] make it more and more difficult to trade land for peace.",
"It's also an indication that the broader Israeli public has sort of lost interest in the resolution of the Palestinian problem.",
"I think that many see the wall as essentially ending the problem of terrorism.",
"The Israeli public as a whole has moved right and there is a collective belief that Israel can simply kick this can down the road and deal with the Palestinian problem later.",
"I think it's short-sighted, in terms of demographics, regional politics, in terms of the technology of terrorism, pushing the Palestinian problem away when there will be more Palestinians with the potential for being more radicalized, perhaps a greater international coalition arrayed against Israel.",
"It doesn't seem to be a far-sighted way to secure Israel.",
"Israel is basically succeeding brilliantly in the economic realm ... in many ways, Israel is even more productive than European countries.",
"Israel is a technological superstar.",
"What Israel needs is political stability and to resolve the Palestinian problem so Israel can move even more dramatically forward.",
"But Israel has a political system where that kind of resolution becomes politically difficult because of many highly reactionary forces within the system.",
"CNN:",
"Is there a way out of this mess?",
"Zakaria:",
"The way out would be for the Israelis to recognize that it is profoundly in the Israelis's long-term interest to resolve the Palestinian problem, recognize that the Israelis are the stronger party ... and see if there is a possibility of some kind of resolution to get out of the terrible bind Israel's in.",
"Israel has 3.5 million people on territory Israel controls who neither have political rights nor a state of 3.5 million people on territory it controls who neither have political rights nor a state of their own's own.",
"Nor can 3.5 million people on territory it controls who neither have political rights nor a state of their own be part of Israel.",
"That's a structural reality which is terrible for the Palestinians but also terrible for the Israelis because it undermines Israel as a democratic state.",
"It's better resolved soon, and whether that means you give up a few hillsides here or there, strikes me as being far less significant than the gain for Israel, which would be to once and for all resolve the Palestinian problem.",
"CNN:",
"Is the Netanyahu government in danger of collapsing?",
"Zakaria:",
"No, I think Netanyahu is playing this juggler's game to keep Netanyahu's coalition together.",
"But it's a far cry from the man who wants to present Netanyahu as an international statesman or even an important figure in Israel's history.",
"... Netanyahu's turning out to be a political hack who spends Netanyahu's time counting the votes in the Knesset rather than thinking about Netanyahu's legacy in the history books.",
"The image is of a Churchillian statesman, and the reality is of a local alderman counting the votes."

"He noticed Robert Klein was looking trimmer since they'd last met.",
"As Robert Klein continued to slim down, they made a bet: Whoever could get down to 200 pounds first would be the winner, and the loser would have to mow the winner's yard -- in a dress.",

"Robert Klein worked on Robert Klein's basement for more than a year and ended up losing 65 pounds in the process -- more than enough to win Robert Klein's bet with Craig Harrell.",

"Some of their stories were so outrageous that we decided to profile a few of their stories.",
"Robert Klein's man cave, however, was the only one to combine dramatic weight loss and cross-dressing, so we had to give Robert Klein a call to find out more.",

"Robert Klein attributes Robert Klein's weight loss success to replacing TV-watching with hard work.",
"\"I lost at least 10 pounds on the painting alone,\" Robert Klein said.",
"\"My neck was sore for weeks.\"",
"Robert Klein knew Robert Klein couldn't build the kind of man cave Robert Klein wanted all by Robert Klein, so Robert Klein contracted out some of the big jobs, like cutting a hole in the foundation to add 6-foot-tall French doors to the side of the house in place of a window well, and finding someone to do the woodwork on a custom bar the bar designed.",
"Although Robert Klein started out with a carefully planned budget, Robert Klein quickly found Robert Klein needed to spend more money to make Robert Klein's dreams a reality.",
"The hardest part, Robert Klein said, was finding someone who could build the bar's bar for a price Robert Klein could afford.",
"After some disheartening estimates (one was $65,000), Robert Klein found Lyle Delfosse, a local furniture maker who had built libraries in the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C., and constructed a chair for a U.S. Supreme Court justice over a U.S. Supreme Court justice's long career.",
"Now 76 and retired, Delfosse told Robert Klein, \"I can build anything out of wood.\"",

"Craig Harrell was 208 pounds, and Robert Klein was 195.",

"Somehow, as Craig Harrell was mowing, Robert Klein's new sprinkler system went off, soaking Craig Harrell and Craig Harrell's dress.",
"In a phone interview, Robert Klein was coy about who the perpetrator might have been.",
"These days, Craig Harrell has Craig Harrell's own man cave, complete with bar.",
"Robert Klein points out that Robert Klein's bar is nicer, but says Robert Klein's got Robert Klein's buddy's back:",

"British Ministry of Defense has released files on UFO sightings dating back to the 1970s, including witness accounts and the government's response.",
"British Ministry of Defense on Wednesday released files on UFO sightings dating back to the 1970s, including witness accounts and the government's response as part of a four-year project to transfer all of the UFO documents to the National Archives to make them available to curious members of the public.",
"The documents include hundreds of police reports taken from witnesses who describe seeing lights or strange objects in the sky, from southern England and Wales up to Northern Ireland.",
"The files released Wednesday cover 1978 to 1987.",
"The rest, dating from the 1950s and covering recent history, will be released over the coming years.",
"Reported sightings typically describe various shapes and colors of lights, moving in formation or hovering in the sky.",
"Witnesses reported orange, red, white and green lights that were diamond-shaped, square, or cigar-shaped.",
"Witnesses reported them to police, who have a standard 16-question form specifically for UFO sightings.",
"\"The vast majority of them are just ordinary people who've seen something unusual and thought that they ought to tell someone about it,\" said David Clarke, a professor at Sheffield Hallam University and a UFO expert who worked with the National Archives on the project.",
"In one sighting in January 1985, a man near Cardiff, Wales, was closing his living room curtains when he saw an object in the sky.",
"He said an object moved \"up and down like a bouncing ball,\" then disappeared behind a mountain.",
"Two police officers in Woking, south of London, reported seeing a white light in the sky on Christmas morning 1985.",
"a white light, Two police officers in Woking, south of London said, moved into the nearby area of Horsell, where author H.G. Wells had placed the Martian landing in author H.G. Wells's book, \"War of the Worlds.\"",
"The person who took the report noted Two police officers in Woking, south of London were aware of the connection, writing, \"Genuine report.",
"Two competent officers slightly embarrassed (Horsell Common features in H.G. Wells).\"",

"Two other police officers in Edgware, north London viewed it with binoculars for an hour and sketched a picture, showing a white sphere with a ring of blue and red lights.",
"\"The object moved erratically from side to side, up and down and to and fro, not venturing far from The object's original position,\" the officers wrote.",
"Other reports came from stunned members of the public, pilots, and members of the military.",
"British Ministry of Defense said British Ministry of Defense examined Other reports and held onto the records solely to determine whether enemy aircraft had infiltrated British airspace.",
"Once it was determined that no enemy aircraft were in the sky, it did not investigate further.",
"Watch why British Ministry of Defense is revealing what British Ministry of Defense knows about UFOs » .",
"\"British Ministry of Defense has no other interest or role regarding UFO matters and does not consider questions regarding the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life-forms,\" British Ministry of Defense said Wednesday.",
"That leaves many of the incidents simply unexplained, such as an April 1984 report made by a senior air traffic controller at an unidentified airfield.",
"a senior air traffic controller was bringing in a light aircraft for landing when a senior air traffic controller noticed a series of lights appearing to come down on another runway.",
"The crew of the incoming plane radioed that The crew of the incoming plane saw the lights, too.",
"All reported that The crew of the incoming plane saw the lights come down \"at speed,\" touch down, and disappear.",
"\"The crew of the incoming plane were so concerned about this, The crew of the incoming plane filed an official report,\" Clarke said.",
"\"But what was the thing that The crew of the incoming plane saw?",
"There's no evidence from the papers that any further investigations were done and it remains a mystery.\"",
"In 1979, two years after Steven Spielberg's alien-visitation movie \"Close Encounters of the Third Kind,\" reports of strange sightings had increased and the House of Lords decided to hold a debate on UFOs.",
"One of the documents released Wednesday is a detailed briefing prepared by the Ministry of Defense for a debate on UFOs, and the debate sheds light on the military's position on the matter.",
"\"There is nothing to indicate that ufology (the study of UFOs) is anything but claptrap and no evidence at all of 'alien space craft,'\" read the briefing, prepared by the ministry for Lord Strabolgi, then government chief whip.",
"At least one report in the files has since been explained, however.",
"A report from August 1985 details the crop circles that two army officers found in a wheat field in Andover, in southern England.",
"two army officers noted one large circle surrounded by four smaller ones, all perfectly round with the wheat pressed down in a clockwise direction.",
"No tracks led up to the circles, two army officers said.",
"The farmer called two army officers because The farmer thought the Army Air Corps had created the circles, but two army officers said two army officers were stumped.",
"\"None of two army officers could offer any reasonable explanation,\" two army officers wrote.",
"It is now known that the crop circles were some of many created by two hoaxers named Doug Bowers and Dave Chorley, according to Clarke.",
"\"Doug and Dave,\" as they were called, came forward in 1990 to say they created the circles with a garden roller and planks of wood, Clarke said.",
"\"We now know that this particular circle near Andover was one of the ones that was created as a hoax by these two men,\" Clarke said."

"Not content to sit quietly at home eating their tofu cutlets, more and more vegetarians, it seems, are taking action, trying to get the carnivorous masses to change the carnivorous masses's ways.",
"Of course, the meat-free have been trying to win people over to their cause since the time of Pythagoras.",
"But lately, activists are trying more in-your-face tactics.",
"For Lierre Keith, author of \"The Vegetarian Myth,\" the \"in-your-face\" part is quite literal.",
"A former vegetarian who has publicly recanted, A former vegetarian who has publicly recanted was lecturing in San Francisco, California, last week, when three masked assailants shouted \"Go vegan!\" and lobbed chili pepper-laced pies at A former vegetarian who has publicly recanted.",
"Even in hard-core vegan circles -- which exclude using animal-based products for food, clothing, medicine or any other purpose -- such borderline-violent exploits are controversial.",
"More common is the approach of folks like newly converted talk show host Ellen Degeneres, who has been sharing recipes for vegan nachos along with her philosophy.",
"Still, recipes only go so far.",
"And, more to the point, recipes don't get as much media attention.",
"For many vegan and vegetarian activists, getting coverage is an art.",
"PETA .",
"If you've ever read about a particularly outrageous pro-vegetarian campaign, there's a good chance that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was behind it.",
"The folks at PETA seem to be firm believers in the idea that \"all media attention is good media attention,\" and the more shocking or ridiculous the stunt, the more media outlets will pick up the story.",
"PETA was laughed at when PETA tried to rebrand fish as \"sea kittens,\" in hopes that the more cuddly name would make seafood a less appealing mealtime choice.",
"PETA was criticized for the suggestion that recently deceased Oscar G. Mayer should be buried with recently deceased Oscar G. Mayer's company's hot dog-shaped Wienermobile.",
"After British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay cooked up horse meat on British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's show, PETA UK dumped a ton of manure outside British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's London restaurant.",
"Plenty of ecological activists cringe at these kinds of prankish maneuvers, but they do get noticed.",
"And that, apparently, is the point.",
"Why else would PETA organize an army of zombies to protest outside of KFC restaurants?",

"And, as anyone who's seen PETA's anti-fur posters knows, PETA is well aware that sex sells.",
"PETA got the granddaughter of Argentinean revolutionary Che Guevara to pose wearing nothing but a bandolier filled with carrots.",

"PETA is not alone in combining feminine pulchritude and an anti-meat agenda.",
"A couple of years back, Portland, Oregon, Diablo got a bunch of media attention when Diablo opened Casa Diablo, the world's first vegan strip club.",
"Serving veggie burgers with a side of nudity (or maybe the other way around) might seem to be just a publicity stunt.",
"(The fact that Diablo tried to put the club up for sale shortly after opening would seem to suggest that.)",
"But Diablo is an earnest vegan himself, and Diablo's apparently retained ownership of Casa Diablo, though reviews -- of both the cuisine and the more fleshy attractions -- are decidedly mixed.",
"McVegan .",
"As the most public face of our carnivorous culture, McDonald's is a popular target of vegetarian activism.",
"Back in 1985, the London branch of Greenpeace declared October 16 World Anti-McDonald's Day, and every year since, there have been protests and rallies all over the globe.",
"The group Vegan Action, founded by Berkeley students in 1993, has come up with a gentler -- and tastier -- way to combat the ubiquity of the golden arches.",

"(CNN) --",
"Rafael Nadal may be more used to serving aces than strutting Rafael Nadal's stuff on a film set but that has not stopped the former world number one from appearing with Colombian rock star Shakira in Colombian rock star Shakira's new music video.",
"The scenes of the two stars used to accompany the global release of the \"Gypsy\" single were filmed in Barcelona, Spain last month where the chemistry between the 23-year-old Spaniard and the Latin American singer were such that denials were released by both parties to quash rumors of a love match.",
"Though Rafael Nadal is in no danger of winning an Oscar for Rafael Nadal's acting skills, Rafael Nadal's cameo appearance was just one in a long list of tennis stars who have flirted with the silver screen.",
"Any come to mind?",
"Open Court sifted through the archives to find other famous examples of tennis stars caught on camera.",
"Let us know if there are any we have missed by adding your comment at the bottom of the page.",
"Anna Kournikova: .",
"Given Anna Kournikova's status as a celebrity, which rather overshadowed Anna Kournikova's abilities as a tennis player, the former Wimbledon semifinalist and number one ranked doubles player, was inevitably going to turn Anna Kournikova's talents to acting.",
"Rather in the Nadal mode, Anna Kournikova does not have any lines to fluff when appearing with Spanish pop star Enrique Inglesias in a video to promote Spanish pop star Enrique Inglesias's 2001 single \"Escape\".",
"Having been \"seduced\" in a variety of role-play settings by Enrique, the pair later dated in real life.",
"The single reached number 12 in the United States listings.",
"John McEnroe: .",
"The former bad boy of tennis, famous for John McEnroe's rants and run-ins with umpires, would appear to have all the ingredients for a director looking to add a star name to his film credits and with a bit of acting ability to boot.",
"McEnroe, who was once married to the movie star Tatum O'Neal, has in fact appeared in six films, the latest Adam Sandler's 2008 release \"You Don't Mess with the Zohan\" where he predictably plays himself.",
"The film did well at the box office and, considering his other cameo alongside Robert De Niro in \"Anger Management,\" the grand slam great could be set for further feature film parts.",
"But whether he will follow soccer legend Eric Cantona in taking lead roles in critically acclaimed films may be open to question.",
"Vijay Amritraj: .",
"The Indian star's handsome profile and suave personality lent The Indian star to the movie world and sure enough a Hollywood producer spotted Vijay Amritraj as Vijay Amritraj gave a post match television interview.",
"Vijay Amritraj was given an immediate screen test between the second and third rounds while playing at Wimbledon and landed more than just a walk-on part in the 13th Bond movie \"Octopussy.\"",
"Rather predictably, Vijay Amritraj's role did have a tennis angle with the baddie Kamal Khan playing at the same club as Vijay Amritraj, where Vijay Amritraj was able to keep watch for 007 Roger Moore.",
"Vijay Amritraj also kills a kukri-wielding Gurkha with Vijay Amritraj's racket,before getting Vijay Amritraj's come-uppance from one of Bond's enemies with a nasty knife.",
"Vijay Amritraj dies muttering the immortal lines \"It was Kamal's men.\"",
"A later appearance in \"Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home\" marked the end of Vijay Amritraj's film career, but Vijay Amritraj made regular appearances on a popular television show on American network NBC to extend Vijay Amritraj's acting career.",
"Althea Gibson: .",
"Any history of tennis or indeed sport in general, will point to the pivotal role which Althea Gibson played in breaking down barriers for the African-American community.",
"As a forerunner for the likes of the Williams sisters four decades later, Althea Gibson became the first black player to win Wimbledon in 1957, before defending the title the year after to add to a career haul of five grand slam singles titles.",
"Despite the success, Althea Gibson had never profited from Althea Gibson's triumphs as a lifelong amateur so on retirement in 1959 Althea Gibson took a career change that saw Althea Gibson's release an album of songs and appear in \"The Horse Soldiers\", a John Ford-directed western -- where Althea Gibson played a liberated slave who rides alongside John Wayne.",
"William Holden also appeared in the film, but sadly it was Althea Gibson's first and last and she turned to playing professional golf to earn a living.",
"Maria Sharapova: .",
"Given Maria Sharapova's worldwide fame and celebrity, the Russian tennis icon would appear to be a Hollywood producer's dream but Maria Sharapova's chance of celluloid glory was thwarted by -- a Hollywood producer.",
"The 2004 feature \"Wimbledon\" starred Kirsten Dunst as Lizzie Bradbury, a single-minded American tennis star who finds love in the form of a less than dedicated British player Peter Colt (Paul Bettany), who inspired by Bradbury does the impossible by winning the men's singles.",
"A very unlikely scenario but highly predictable for a feel good film.",
"Maria Sharapova was supposed to have played one of Bradbury's hapless opponents, but according to the commentary on the DVD of the film, Maria Sharapova was considered too much of a likeness to Kirsten Dunst and did not get the part.",
"A glut of players, Chris Evert, John McEnroe (inevitably) and Luke Jensen amongst others lend A glut of players, Chris Evert, John McEnroe (inevitably) and Luke Jensen amongst others's faces to the film and CNN's Open Court presenter Pat Cash advised on the action shots.",
"But one can't help but think that an appearance by Maria Sharapova may have boosted box office takings even more, although Maria Sharapova did appear at the glitzy premiere in Hollywood in September, 2004, towering over the diminutive Kirsten Dunst.",
"Bill Tilden: .",
"Another infamous tennis star who is rated one of the all-time greats for Tilden's grand slam exploits, but attracted less than favorable headlines for Tilden's private life, was another to try Tilden's hand at entertainment without a tennis racket.",
"The controversial life of tennis great Tilden .",
"Tilden dominated the men's game in the 1920s before turning professional and was still a force into his 40s, playing to big crowds against the likes of Donald Budge and Fred Perry.",
"But away from tennis, Tilden's great passion was movies and theater.",
"Tilden was a personal friend of screen icon Charlie Chaplin and ploughed much of Tilden's fortune into three Broadway plays, which Tilden wrote and produced and also appeared in.",
"All bombed spectacularly and Hollywood did not come calling.",
"The Players (1979 movie) This makes our list because of the sheer numbers of star players, who have cameo roles or -- in the case of the great Pancho Gonzales -- starred in a major supporting role.",
"Gonzales, who received a panning from critics for his pains, also has a credit in the more successful 1953 release \"Pat and Mike\" starring screen legends Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.",
"The corny plot of The Players (see \"Wimbledon\" above) has crooner Dean Martin's son (Dean Paul Martin) play a rising young tennis star who falls for an older woman Nicole (Ali McGraw).",
"It is loaded with walk on parts for John McEnroe, John McEnroe's predecessor as the \"enfant terrible\" of tennis, Ilie Nastase, and the Argentine ace Guillermo Vilas.",
"Tom Gullikson, John Lloyd, Dennis Ralston and Ion Tiriac also appear as well as legendary British tennis commentator Dan Maskell, but it proved a turkey.",
"Roll credits .",
"So that's Open Court's guide to the best and mostly worse in tennis acting careers, but while the sport remains a favorite among celebrities and rich Hollywood film moguls, the list is sure to grow and as we went to press reports from India say 11-time grand slam doubles champion Leander Paes is wanting to join the ranks of Bollywood after taking acting lessons for over a year.",
"Judging by the efforts of champion Leander Paes's predecessors champion Leander Paes might need them."

"The NTSB animation shows two planes nearly colliding at the San Francisco International Airport in May.",
"The first animation shows a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 and a United Airlines Airbus A320 coming within 230 feet of colliding on the runway at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida in July.",
"The re-creation was based on radar and flight data recorder information from the planes involved.",
"The first animation includes audio from the air traffic controller, who can be heard yelling, \"Stop, stop, stop!\" to the United plane as the Delta aircraft attempts to land.",
"Watch The first animation, hear controller's pleas » .",
"The second animation shows a May incident at San Francisco International Airport in California in which a Republic Airlines jet takes off, coming within 35 feet of a SkyWest Airlines commuter turboprop that has just landed.",

"The videos were shown Thursday during NTSB's annual \"most wanted transportation safety improvements\" board meeting, where NTSB reviews NTSB's greatest concerns in transportation safety.",
"The Federal Aviation Administration reported that serious runway incursions were reduced by 25 percent in 2007, but NTSB said much work remains on runway safety and systems to notify pilots when pilots are about to collide with another plane or vehicle.",
"NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker expressed frustration with the slow progress of implementing new technology, such as the use of a global positioning system-type procedure in cockpits that would help warn pilots of dangers on the runway.",
"NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker told the NTSB-only panel, \"It is time to do something before we have to investigate an accident that is catastrophic.\"",
"Among the most wanted transportation safety improvements cited on NTSB's Web site are items to \"stop runway incursions/ground collisions of aircraft\" with the notations \"action needed by The Federal Aviation Administration\" and \"unacceptable response.\"",
"the NTSB's Web site says systems the FAA has added to airports to warn air traffic controllers of potential collisions aren't \"sufficient.\"",
"\"In recent incidents, [one system] did not alert controllers in time to be effective, and the situations were instead resolved by flight crew actions that sometimes bordered on heroics or just plain luck,\" the NTSB's Web site says.",
"\"Until there is a system in place to positively control ground movements of all aircraft, with direct warning to pilots, the potential for this type of disaster will continue to be high.\"",
"NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker told Thursday's board gathering that \"this must be resolved.\"",

"Mexico City, Mexico (CNN)",
"-- Five presumed drug gang members and one soldier were killed in shootouts Thursday and Friday after criminals blocked thoroughfares in two northern Mexico states to prevent military reinforcements from arriving, authorities said.",
"The criminals used cars, transit buses and tractor-trailers to block roads and streets in the states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon in northeastern Mexico, said an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office.",
"an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office was briefed on the incidents but declined to be named because an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office is not allowed to speak for the department.",
"Three gang members were killed Thursday in Tamaulipas and two died early Friday in the city of Monterrey, in Nuevo Leon, an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office said.",
"One soldier was killed and four wounded in the Tamaulipas confrontation, an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office said.",
"Two of the road blocks happened Thursday and five more were set up before dawn Friday, an official with the Nuevo Leon public security office said.",
"All were cleared within a matter of hours.",
"The area, which borders Texas, has seen bloody fighting between the Zetas and Gulf cartels after a recent gangland slaying.",
"Hours-long gun battles are common, and U.S. officials were recently forced to temporarily close the consulate in the city of Reynosa.",
"The trouble started January 18 when a Gulf cartel member killed top Zeta lieutenant Victor Mendoza.",
"The Zetas demanded that the Gulf cartel turn over the killer, but the narco group refused.",
"The Zetas, composed mostly of former elite military troops, had been the armed enforcers for the Gulf cartel since 2001.",
"The Zetas have become more independent in recent years, and the all-out war between the two cartels indicates the split is apparently permanent.",
"Nuevo Leon public security chief Luis Carlos Trevino was quoted in published reports as saying that the military will continue ongoing operations against the criminals despite the road blocks and other obstacles.",
"Soldiers carried out raids Thursday in the cities of El Carmen, Sabinas, Vallecillo and Paras.",
"\"The organized crime groups have tried through different means and methods to turn the roads of the metropolitan Monterrey area upside down, looking to form blockades with civilian vehicles to prevent support troops going to the areas where these actions are taking place,\" Nuevo Leon public security chief Luis Carlos Trevino said at a news conference Thursday.",
"The drug gang members used tractor-trailers, buses and cars to close the Reynosa Highway and the road to Miguel Aleman, causing panic among residents and traffic chaos, Nuevo Leon public security chief Luis Carlos Trevino said.",
"The highway from Monterrey to Reynosa was closed for at least two hours in both directions when armed men forced at least six car drivers and a tractor-trailer driver to station their vehicles across the road.",
"The gunmen also burned three cars and a pickup truck to close the Miguel de la Madrid Boulevard in Monterrey.",
"In addition, gunmen stole several cars and trucks to use as roadblocks in both directions on the highway to Miguel Aleman, Nuevo Leon public security chief Luis Carlos Trevino said.",
"Mexico has been gripped in massive drug-related bloodshed since President Felipe Calderon declared war on the cartels shortly after coming into office in December 2006.",
"Much of the violence has centered around Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas.",
"Ciudad Juarez drew attention in the United States last weekend when three people associated with the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez were gunned down.",
"Two of the victims were U.S. citizens who lived in El Paso.",
"Juarez Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz said earlier this week authorities believe Saturday's slayings were carried out by the Barrio Azteca drug gang.",
"No motive has been revealed and no arrests have been made.",
"About 200 U.S. federal, state and local authorities interviewed more than 100 Barrio Azteca members and associates in El Paso and southern New Mexico on Thursday, the Justice Department said.",
"There are no official government tallies, but more than 16,000 people are estimated to have died in the drug wars.",
"The vast majority of the deaths are among reputed criminals, with some police and military also being killed.",
"Relatively few of the deaths are civilians.",
"Even so, the United States and Canada have issued travel warnings, particularly along the border area.",
"The Texas Department of Public Safety took the unprecedented step this year of recommending that students on spring break not go to border areas inside Mexico.",
"News of the violence and the travel warnings apparently have had an effect.",
"Mexicans say tourism along the border has declined this year, with one business owner in Tijuana telling CNN that one business owner in Tijuana's business has dropped 40 percent."

"Seoul, South Korea (CNN)",
"-- The Obama administration's first high-level direct talks with North yielded no promise by North to return to six-party negotiations aimed at ending North's nuclear program, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday nonetheless called the meeting \"quite positive.\"",
"In Washington, Hillary Clinton said Hillary Clinton agreed with special envoy Stephen Bosworth that the talks were \"very useful,\" adding, \"It does remain to be seen whether and when the North Koreans will return to the six-party talks, but the bottom line is that these were exploratory talks, not negotiations.\"",
"North has refused to return to the talks conducted by the United States, Russia, China, South Korea and Japan, insisting that North wants to talk directly with the U.S.",
"In April, North declared the talks \"dead\" in anger over international criticism of North's nuclear and missile tests this year.",
"Hillary Clinton previously said the United States was willing to meet bilaterally with North but only within the framework of the six-party talks.",
"Hillary Clinton also has warned the United States will not normalize ties with North or lift sanctions unless North takes irreversible steps toward dismantling its nuclear program.",
"Of Bosworth's three-day visit, Bosworth said, \"My purpose ... was to facilitate the resumption of the six-party talks and to reaffirm the goal of fully implementing the September 2005 joint statement.\"",
"Holding a news conference Thursday in Seoul after Bosworth's visit to North, Bosworth said, \"I communicated Obama's view that complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is a fundamental undertaking of the six-party process ... and that the absence of progress on denuclearization is an obstacle to improving our relations.\"",
"As Obama \"has made it clear, the United States is prepared to work with allies, partners in the region to offer ... North a different future,\" Bosworth said.",
"Bosworth said Bosworth held talks with North Korean officials, but not President Kim Jong Il, because \"we did not ask\" for a meeting with the leader.",
"Bosworth said they did not make plans for a future meeting.",
"Many observers are wondering what's behind North's latest moves, and some said Bosworth's trip is a positive.",
"\"The visit gives North a lot of 'face,' a sense of importance,\" said Wenran Jiang, political science professor at the University of Alberta in Canada.",
"Some analysts said North might be trying to buy time.",
"Earlier reports in Seoul claimed that North is in the final stages of restoring North's Yongbyon nuclear plant, which North had begun to disable before walking away from the six-party talks.",
"Given the secrecy of North, Earlier reports in Seoul could not be verified.",
"Analysts said North also is desperate to break out of North's diplomatic isolation and ease North's economic pain, especially after the U.N. Security Council imposed tougher sanctions on North in response to North's nuclear and missile tests.",
"A joint statement issued by the six-party nations in September 2005 said North had \"committed to abandoning all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs.\"",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"The Obama administration raised the stakes in the health care debate Monday, releasing a new blueprint that seeks to bridge the gap between measures passed by the Senate and House of Representatives last year.",

"GOP leaders have indicated GOP leaders will attend the meeting but have urged Democrats to scrap the Senate and House bills completely.",

"\"This new Democrats-only backroom deal doubles down on the same failed approach that will drive up premiums, destroy jobs, raise taxes and slash Medicare benefits.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"The dominance of England's Premier League has been built on Premier League's clubs' ability to lure the world's best players with high wages.",
"Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the UK's tax rate rise will hurt Premier League's competitiveness.",
"But that could all be about to change after last month's decision by the British government to raise the level of top-rate income tax from 60 cents in every $1.50 to 75 cents.",
"The rate rise, which takes effect from April of 2010, will mean that some well-off people -- including Premier League footballers -- will pay half of any income over $226,000 in tax.",
"And given the average basic salary for a Premier League player is $1.8m, the average basic salary for a Premier League player will make a difference to a lot of players, not just the foreign superstars like Brazil's Robinho and Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo.",
"English premiership managers such as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the tax hike will hurt Premier League's ability to attract the best players while potentially driving out those players unhappy at paying out more in tax.",
"Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was asked if the success of English sides was overly reliant on having the best foreign players.",
"\"That time will soon be over because with the new taxation system, with the collapse of sterling, the domination of Premier League on that front will go, that is for sure,\" Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the UK's Sunday Times newspaper in a recent interview.",
"Pete Hackleton, who works for accountancy firm Deloitte's sports business group, believes Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could be proved right.",
"\"An increase in the tax rate and the decline of the pound against the Euro over the last year to 18 months does put Premier League at a disadvantage,\" he told CNN.",
"\"I'd say it will have a sizable impact upon the Premier League's's competitiveness against other countries.",
"Clubs are going to have to think about how Clubs react to it.\"",
"Premier League's ability to remain the most marketable league in the world has been built on the ability to attract the best talent.",
"But if the best talent is unhappy at seeing half or less of the best talent's salaries, other leagues in countries with more generous tax bands may become more enticing.",
"Spain's top division, La Liga, is one of Premier League's biggest rivals in terms of the quality of its product, and it is likely to be best placed to capitalize should England drop the ball.",
"The reason -- aside from the weather -- is the so-called \"Beckham Law.\"",
"The country's government introduced legislation four years ago which effectively caps non-Spanish nationals' tax at 24 percent.",
"David Beckham was among the first foreigners to take advantage of it while David Beckham was playing for Real Madrid.",
"English clubs desperate to keep hold of their best players without breaking the bank undoubtedly have a challenge on their hands going into the off-season.",
"But there is a little room for maneuver.",
"One area is in a player's image rights, which can be hugely lucrative.",
"If a player is aligned to an image rights company, payments into those companies are income of the image rights company, and a player is not taxed on them.",
"Additionally, the club does not need to make UK social security contributions on those payments.",
"So will the tax rise, married to a falling pound, prompt an exodus of players from England?",
"\"I suspect some of the top players will want to continue to be paid what some of the top players're paid at the moment and it's up to clubs to decide if clubs can afford to pay that,\" continued Hackleton.",
"\"And it's a call for the players to make if the players believe the players can receive more money elsewhere.\"",

"(CNN) --",
"It's hard to imagine a video of lawyers debating points of constitutional law going viral on YouTube, but the audience for the Proposition 8 trial -- a lawsuit seeking to overturn California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage -- is potentially vast.",
"Unfortunately, the audience for the Proposition 8 trial -- a lawsuit seeking to overturn California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage -- will have to wait.",
"U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker had decided to allow the proceedings to be taped, then aired on YouTube.",
"But as the Proposition 8 trial was set to begin Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order blocking its broadcast.",
"Our camera-phobic high court is making a mistake.",
"Public access should be encouraged, not thwarted, in court cases involving divisive issues -- all the more so when judicial power is invoked in an effort to invalidate the outcome of a vote.",
"Although some the U.S. Supreme Court justices might worry that cameras in the courtroom undermine the legitimacy of the judicial process, the reality is just the opposite.",
"the Proposition 8 trial is a case in point.",
"People on both sides of the same-sex marriage issue are accustomed to a political process coarsened by ideological rhetoric and political posturing.",
"If People on both sides of the same-sex marriage issue can view the Proposition 8 trial via YouTube, People on both sides of the same-sex marriage issue will be surprised by what People on both sides of the same-sex marriage issue see: a decision-making process devoid of politics, in which a thoughtful and unbiased judge asks hard questions of both sides' lawyers in search of legal rules reflecting neutral principles, not political fiat.",
"At a time when most Americans have lost confidence in the government's ability to act in the general interest, the potentially huge audience for the Proposition 8 trial would see that at least one branch of government tries to make decisions on the merits.",
"Broadcasting the Proposition 8 trial will confer legitimacy on the proceedings as nothing else can.",
"Legitimacy matters.",
"If, in the end, Judge Walker upholds Prop 8, rejecting challenges to Prop 8's constitutionality, opponents of Prop 8 will feel angry and aggrieved -- to put it mildly.",
"But if they have viewed the Proposition 8 trial online, they are less likely to feel victimized in a process that was politically rigged.",
"Defenders of Prop 8 are against broadcasting the Proposition 8 trial because Defenders of Prop 8 believe it would infringe on Defenders of Prop 8's right to a fair trial.",
"Defenders of Prop 8 claim that release of videos on YouTube would expose participants to harassment.",
"The concern about harassment is not trivial.",
"Some financial contributors to the Prop 8 campaign were harassed following voter approval of Prop 8 in November 2008.",
"Much as I disagree with Defenders of Prop 8's position on same-sex marriage, harassment infringes Defenders of Prop 8's First Amendment right to participate in the political process.",
"But the trial judge is sensitive to these issues and would be able to minimize the risk of harassment.",
"Under the camera access procedures adopted by Judge Walker, the court would control the video cameras and can make sure that certain witnesses are not shown on camera, if necessary.",
"In any case, most trial participants are people who, because of most trial participants's prominence in the electoral campaign, have chosen to have a high public profile on same-sex marriage.",
"most trial participants expect to be recognized and identified with this issue.",
"most trial participants have, or should have, thick skins.",
"most trial participants's First Amendment right to join the political fray must be balanced against the public's First Amendment right to know what transpires in the courtroom.",
"There is no secret justice in the American judicial system.",
"Courts must be open to assure the parties receive a fair trial and to give the public the necessary confidence that the laws are applied justly.",
"To be sure, the First Amendment doesn't require public access to include television broadcast or online distribution.",
"But when judges exercise judges's discretion to open judges's courtrooms to cameras, that choice should be upheld.",
"Let's hope the U.S. Supreme Court quickly rescinds the U.S. Supreme Court's order blocking online distribution of the Prop 8 trial video.",
"The opinions in this commentary are solely those of Peter Scheer."

"If you've ever had a group of friends who have meant the world to you, take a look at the old black-and-white photo that accompanies today's column.",
"If you've ever yearned to freeze time, to make the finest moments of your life stand still in the finest moments of your life's tracks so you can savor the finest moments of your life a little longer, while knowing somewhere inside that such a thing is impossible, take a look at the faces of Three players on 1960 college championship team.",
"Not so many years before that photo was snapped, the three of Three players on 1960 college championship team were inseparable -- not only on a basketball court, but in the minds of hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of admirers.",
"Three players on 1960 college championship team's names routinely appeared in the same sentences in newspaper sports sections from coast to coast.",
"Three players on 1960 college championship team inhabited the same column of agate-type box scores on winter morning after winter morning.",
"If you were young enough -- and, as the 12-year-old statistics kid who counted up their field goals, rebounds and free throws for the local Columbus, Ohio, television station that did the live broadcasts of Three players on 1960 college championship team's college games, I was young enough -- you allowed yourself to believe that the three friends would always be together.",
"It wasn't to be.",
"It almost never is, whether you are friends as famous as they were, or as anonymous as most of the rest of us are.",
"Which is why I love that bittersweet photograph so much.",
"It is an inadvertent record of a moment that signifies how all friends, eventually, must take different paths, that nothing beautiful is destined to endure uninterrupted.",
"On the left in the photograph is Larry Siegfried of the Boston Celtics.",
"In the center is Jerry Lucas of the Cincinnati Royals.",
"On the right is John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics.",
"In 1960, the three had been teammates on The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship.",
"It was quite a squad; the coach was Fred Taylor, the two other starters were Mel Nowell and Joe Roberts, and there was a sharpshooting forward who came off the bench, a rather intense young man by the name of Bobby Knight.",
"The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship was so smooth that, watching from the stands, you sensed The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship could read each others' minds.",
"If you had never before quite understood what it looked like and felt like to be a part of a seamless unit, you found out every evening just by seeing The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship play.",

"The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship were separate people, but The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship were one.",
"Which is why the photograph of The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship taken barely three years later -- it was shot on October 17, 1963, in the Cincinnati Gardens -- is, in its low-key way, so mesmerizing.",
"The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship, because of circumstance, have parted.",
"The paths have split.",
"This was to be the first game during which, as professionals, The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship competed against each other.",
"The old team was history.",
"At the opening tipoff, The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship's goals were about to diverge.",
"The photo was snapped by a then-young man named Ed Keys, who had been taken to the game by his father, sportswriter Tom Keys.",
"Ed Keys sent it to me recently because he thought I would understand.",
"Fifty winters ago -- the winter that Lucas and Havlicek and Siegfried and Three players on 1960 college championship team's Ohio State teammates won Three players on 1960 college championship team's national championship -- I somehow, as a junior high school student who wasn't even that good at math, talked the local television play-by-play man, Jimmy Crum, into letting me sit with him and help with the statistics.",
"I watched Three players on 1960 college championship team on the court at every home game on Three players on 1960 college championship team's way to the championship; I watched that magical basketball friendship form and grow and become so strong that The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship's team became the finest in the country.",
"What must it be like to be part of a friendship that is played out so publicly -- part of hardwood recollections woven into the fabric of the lives of strangers who will never meet you?",
"\"It's probably something the rest of us can never fully comprehend,\" said Lee Caryer, a sports historian who wrote the book \"The Golden Age of Ohio State Basketball,\" and who knows every member of The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship.",
"\"But I can tell you that the bond between Three players on 1960 college championship team is real, and that Three players on 1960 college championship team wear it very well.",
"It goes way beyond basketball.\"",
"Most of us, if we are lucky enough when we are young to have friends whom we treasure, tend to lose track of some of them over time.",
"Most of us have our own versions of that moment in the photograph: a moment when we suddenly know for sure that, despite our dreams and best intentions, the golden days when we first found each other have drifted off, and that we are on our way to somewhere else, somewhere different.",
"But there always is the chance that we can recapture the memories.",
"Later this month, in Columbus, the living members of The Ohio State University basketball team that won the national collegiate championship will gather for a series of 50th anniversary celebrations.",
"The three men in the photograph are all expected to be present.",
"Three players on 1960 college championship team started off as small-town Ohio boys who didn't even know that the others were alive: Jerry Lucas of Middletown, Larry Siegfried of Shelby, John Havlicek of Martins Ferry.",
"Three players on 1960 college championship team ended up as a part of each other.",
"That's the lesson for all of us, as this new year takes this new year's first faltering steps, and, all across the country, new friendships form and old ones seem to splinter.",
"That's the lesson, full of hope and harmony: .",
"The best friendships never truly die.",

"\"We don't know how many actually were orphaned by earthquake.",
"There are so many children in Haiti without parental supervision who need to be cared for, who need to be fed, clothed and so forth and protected,\" Ann Veneman, executive director of UNICEF said.",
"Tracking down the actual numbers in Haiti can be tough given the circumstances.",
"Fact check: One month after earthquake, what numbers are available to tell the story of devastation and recovery?",
"• Human toll:",

"The U.S. Agency for International Development estimates that 3 million people were affected by earthquake and 700,000 in Port-au-Prince were displaced.",
"• Aid agencies:",
"The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that more than 400 agencies were registered with The Haitian government to do work in Haiti before earthquake.",
"Because some of the non-governmental organizations are small and work in remote, rural areas, some of the non-governmental organizations's presence may not even be known to The Haitian government.",
"• Aid given:",
"According to The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 2.3 million people have received food aid from the World Food Programme and their partners, and more than 10,300 mosquito nets, 23,000 family tents, 26,500 kitchen sets and 79,500 blankets have been distributed.",
"• Sanitation:",
"The World Health Organization estimated this week that less than 5 percent of the need for latrines has been meet.",
"However, there has not been an increase in reported infectious diseases.",
"More than 900,000 people have access to safe drinking water, but that still falls short of the goal of providing water to 1.1 million.",
"• Children:",
"About 5,000 schools were destroyed or damaged in earthquake.",
"According to the U.N. humanitarian affairs office, The Haitian government aims to have all schools open again before the end of March.",
"Kathleen Strottman, executive director of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, estimates that there were more than 900 orphans in the process of being adopted into American homes when earthquake struck.",

"Yelena Isinbayeva has often complained about a lack of real competition in Yelena Isinbayeva's event.",
"Every time the world and Yelena Isinbayeva competes it is expected that Yelena Isinbayeva will spring to new heights and push women's pole-vaulting to new levels.",
"Yelena Isinbayeva has broken the world record 16 times, almost equaling the feat of the great Sergey Bubka, who broke the men's outdoor pole vault record 17 times between 1984 and 1994.",

"After setting five new world records in 2005, it took almost three years for Yelena Isinbayeva to set a new mark of 5.04m in July 2008, a fallow period that made Yelena Isinbayeva's pursuit of world records a personal matter.",
"After setting Yelena Isinbayeva's world record mark in July this year at a competition in Monte Carlo, Yelena Isinbayeva told press: \"I wanted to improve my personal best and that's what I did.",
"I see this world record as a personal one.\"",
"A driven and focused competitor, Yelena Isinbayeva has also become famous for Yelena Isinbayeva's coolness under pressure.",
"Before Yelena Isinbayeva's latest world record jump Yelena Isinbayeva was driving around the track in the back of a vintage car with sprinter Asafa Powell, while Yelena Isinbayeva's fellow competitors had already started the competition.",
"Not shy of media and publicity, Yelena Isinbayeva's sporting achievements, athleticism and looks have made Yelena Isinbayeva a pin-up for women's athletics and attracted a number of big-name sponsors.",
"While Yelena Isinbayeva's achievements can be allied to that of Bubka it has been noted that Yelena Isinbayeva's media- and sponsor-friendly attitude makes Yelena Isinbayeva more akin to compatriot Maria Sharapova.",
"Yelena Isinbayeva's celebrity status is a world away from Yelena Isinbayeva's modest background.",
"Born in Volgograd in 1982 it was only until a couple of years ago that Yelena Isinbayeva lived with Yelena Isinbayeva's parents and younger sister in the city of Yelena Isinbayeva's birth, before moving to Monte Carlo.",
"Yelena Isinbayeva trained first of all as a gymnast until the age of 15 when Yelena Isinbayeva's coach decided Yelena Isinbayeva was too tall.",
"Commentators and fellow competitors have noted that Yelena Isinbayeva's gymnastic training has helped give Yelena Isinbayeva an extra edge in the event.",
"After defending Yelena Isinbayeva's title in Beijing, Yelena Isinbayeva's place in the sporting pantheon of great female athletes seems secure.",
"While emulating Bubka, Isinbayeva has said before that closing the gap between the heights the men and women can jump is another of Yelena Isinbayeva's personal challenges, and with Yelena Isinbayeva's own talent and the help of Bubka's former coach Yelena Isinbayeva may go a long way towards achieving that."

"The move comes as tensions over the territory simmer because of British oil companies' efforts to drill off the northern coast of the Falklands.",
"The Falklands, known as Las Malvinas in Argentina, lie in the South Atlantic Ocean off the Argentinean coast and have been under British rule since 1833.",
"But Argentina has always claimed sovereignty over them.",

"Tuesday's decree also creates a special commission that will oversee the application of the new measure.",
"\"It's public knowledge that the United Kingdom has started the search for hydrocarbon resources in the Falkland Islands area,\" Argentine Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez said at a news conference, according to the official Telam news agency.",
"The Argentine position is that natural resources around the Falklands should be protected, and Britain must accept international resolutions labeling the Falklands a disputed area.",
"\"This has to do with the defense of the interests of Argentineans, not just about sovereignty,\" Argentine Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez said, adding that Argentina lays claim not just to the Falklands, but to any resources that could be found there.",
"The Argentines blame \"unilateral moves\" by the British companies toward exploration as the reason for the recent spat.",

"Here is how Obama said Obama plans to achieve the goals: . • Send 30,000 additional U.S. troops .",
"U.S. will send U.S. to Afghanistan in the next seven months \"so that U.S. can target the insurgency and secure key population centers,\" Obama said in Obama's speech.",
"Some of U.S. will help train Afghan security forces to \"create the conditions for U.S. to transfer responsibility to the Afghans,\" Obama said.",
"U.S. forces could begin to leave as security responsibilities are transferred to the Afghans.",
"Obama said Obama hopes to start transferring U.S. forces out of Afghanistan in July 2011.",
"The U.S. troop buildup also will help secure areas that go relatively uncovered by U.S. and NATO forces now.",
"Most of U.S. are expected to be sent around the southern part of Afghanistan, divided between Helmand and Kandahar provinces.",
"Kandahar's one major city, also called Kandahar, is used by Taliban fighters and its leaders to hide within the population from coalition troops.",
"One key task will be to control the major approaches to the city.",
"Obama also said Obama is asking NATO allies to send more troops to Afghanistan.",
"The new troop deployments would increase the total U.S. commitment to roughly 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, bolstered by more than 40,000 NATO forces.",
"Pursue a more effective civilian strategy .",
"Obama said U.S. would work to build up programs and institutions that will benefit Afghanistan's citizens.",
"However, alluding to the corruption that has plagued the Afghan government, the aid \"must be based on performance,\" Obama said.",
"Corruption in Afghanistan has shaken international and domestic confidence in the Afghan government.",
"Even this year's re-election of President Hamid Karzai was mired in controversy; President Hamid Karzai was declared the winner of an August vote that was deemed tainted with ballot-stuffing.",
"In President Hamid Karzai's inauguration speech, President Hamid Karzai said President Hamid Karzai'd make the fight against corruption a top priority over the next five years.",
"On Tuesday, Obama said that speech sent the right message, but Obama warned that \"the days of providing a blank check are over.\"",
"\"U.S. will support Afghan ministries, governors and local leaders that combat corruption and deliver for the people.",
"U.S. expect those who are ineffective or corrupt to be held accountable,\" Obama said.",
"Obama said U.S. would focus U.S.'s assistance \"in areas -- such as agriculture -- that can make an immediate impact in the lives of the people.\"",
"U.S. also will support Afghanistan's efforts to reach out to Taliban fighters who want to lay down arms.",
"Already, U.S. has a plan to pay those fighters to quit Taliban.",
"There is money in the 2010 defense appropriations bill to fund a Taliban reintegration program, which essentially pays Taliban fighters to switch sides.",
"The U.S. State Department says The U.S. State Department plans to triple The U.S. State Department's civilian staff in Afghanistan to 974 members by early 2010.",
"In a speech in New York on Monday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said U.S. civilian efforts are just as critical as military operations to help Afghanistan.",
"USAID and other U.S. government agencies also have people in Afghanistan.",
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture are embedded with the U.S. military, and \"rule of law\" experts are working to extend a justice system \"so that Taliban would not offer the only form of justice in Afghanistan.\" • Have a more robust partnership with Pakistan .",
"Taliban fighters have long been operating in the mountainous region along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan, battling U.S. and Afghan government forces on one side and Pakistani troops on the other.",
"It is not clear whether any of the additional troops will be sent to the Pakistan border, where U.S. tries to stop Taliban and al Qaeda forces from moving between the two countries.",
"About 4,000 U.S. Special Forces troops are in eastern Afghanistan, hunting al Qaeda leaders.",
"Any plan to bolster Afghanistan must also work to help Pakistan, Obama said.",
"\"U.S. will strengthen Pakistan's capacity to target these groups that threaten our countries,\" Obama said.",
"\"U.S. is also providing substantial resources to support Pakistan's democracy and development.\"",
"In the past, Obama said, some in Pakistan have argued that the struggle against the Taliban and other militants wasn't Pakistan's fight.",
"But the Pakistani army recently has been attacking the Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan after a series of deadly bomb attacks across Pakistan.",
"\"Public opinion has turned ... and there is no doubt that U.S. and Pakistan share a common enemy,\" Obama said.",
"\"Going forward, the Pakistani people must know: U.S. will remain a strong supporter of Pakistan's security and prosperity long after the guns have fallen silent, so that the great potential of Pakistan's people can be unleashed,\" Obama said.",
"CNN's Mike Mount, Larry Shaughnessy, Jill Dougherty and Jason Hanna contributed to this report."

"We've seen some major world events unfold on the social media stage in the past week, the biggest being Google's threat to pull out of China and the Haiti earthquake.",
"Google's actions have brought attention back to the long-standing Internet censorship that blankets China, while the destruction in Haiti has mobilized hundreds of thousands to open hundreds of thousands's wallets and hundreds of thousands's hearts.",
"Just like the Iran election crisis, those events are causing people to reassess the impact of social media on the world.",
"It's clear that social media has the power to impact world politics and the lives of billions, but some have overstated what social media can actually do.",
"We need to understand what social media really is in order to use social media effectively for social good.",
"iReport: Looking for loved ones in Haiti .",
"Let me explain by highlighting a few examples of social media's impact on the world stage, and then concluding with how I view social media's impact in the larger context of mobilization and world discussion.",
"Iran election crisis .",
"During summer 2009, the world's eyes were fixated on Iran.",
"Questions were raised after Ahmadinejad was declared the winner over rival Mousavi in Iran's Presidential elections.",
"The abnormalities and potential tampering of the vote resulted in massive protests that engulfed Iran.",
"Social media's role in the Iran Election Crisis started with #CNNFail, but that was only the beginning of social media's role.",
"With the Iranian government clamping down on information and enforcing censorship, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube became the primary mediums for bringing information out of Iran and spreading notes between dissidents.",
"Take a look at the Iran election social media timeline we built if you want to see its full impact.",
"Key moments in the Iran Election Crisis, especially the death of Neda, were recorded and spread like wildfire, creating an outpouring of support for the protesters.",
"Twitter's role was so important in fact that the Iranian government got involved in scheduling Twitter's downtime.",
"In the end though, social media didn't topple any governments, although social media has helped shift the political climate in Iran.",
"In some cases the use of Twitter in Iran was overstated, yet the result is that the tipping point for Iran is close, thanks to social media.",
"Haiti earthquake .",
"After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake (and multiple aftershocks) devastated the nation of Haiti, social media became the medium in which everybody spread the word.",
"Dramatic Haiti earthquake Twitter pictures swept across the Web, while tech giants mobilized.",
"iReport: Earthquake rocks Haiti .",
"The most impressive part of social media's impact on Haiti has to be the charity text message campaign that has already raised more than $10 million for Haiti victim relief.",
"Social media spread the word.",
"Technology made it possible.",
"It's not all perfect, though: the money raised is small compared to the relief coming from world governments and donations face 90 day delays.",
"Still, social media for social good is becoming more effective with each crisis.",
"China-Google standoff .",
"While we are still far from the conclusion of this messy affair, Google's threat to pull out of China has already had a dramatic effect in both social media and political circles.",
"Politically, China has been put under pressure.",
"the Iranian government has thrown the Iranian government's support behind Google, though it's doubtful that the Obama Administration will get involved in the end.",
"More importantly though, social media is being used to lift China's blanket of censorship.",
"Social tools, while many are blocked by the Chinese, can get through China's great firewall.",
"We have the tools to undo censorship in China.",
"Google's efforts have re",
"ignited the debate over censorship, but Google's efforts won't break the barrier.",
"Social media's global impact .",
"In all three cases -- China, Haiti and Iran -- social media has had an impact, especially as the course of events evolved.",
"Real-time communication platforms like Twitter and Facebook have spread the word about what's happening within these nations, long before the mainstream media prints the story.",
"These tools have also created a level awareness we've never seen before.",
"iReport: I'm alive!",
"Messages from Haiti .",
"We have to be realistic, though: New media isn't going to stop censorship, overthrow oppressive regimes or heal the people of Haiti alone.",
"Social media has transformed communication, media, and the transmission of information, but it still takes people on the ground to pull people out of the rubble or to fight for freedom.",
"Just as Paul Revere embarked on Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn that the British were coming, social media acts as both the first warning and the rallying cry for mobilization.",
"In the end though, social media is just a collection of tools.",

"Federal investigators are concerned a potential danger persists because of the simultaneous use of intersecting runways at Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the nation's busiest and a gateway to the New York metro area.",
"The alert comes after repeated instances in which planes above the Newark airport flew too close to each other in violation of safety standards.",
"There were four such instances last year and at least four this year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general.",
"In one case, on January 16, 2008, two Continental planes -- a Boeing B-737 and an Embraer 145 -- missed each other by 600 feet, according to a DOT inspector general's report.",
"\"That was very scary.",
"I was there for that one personally in the control tower, and it scared the heck out of everybody up there,\" said Ray Adams, a Newark air traffic controller.",
"Potential danger arises when approaching planes need to abort planes's landings, which happens about every 700 flights at Newark, according to a Federal Aviation Administration analysis.",
"In what the FAA calls \"go-arounds,\" the diverted plane approaching Newark has to make a sharp right turn through the flight path of planes landing and taking off from an intersecting runway, allowing little margin for error.",
"\"There was a distinct possibility that we could have had a collision with these operations,\" Air traffic controller said.",
"Air traffic controller said Air traffic controller raised the safety issue to the FAA but got nowhere.",
"Air traffic controller persisted, taking Air traffic controller's complaint to New Jersey's congressional delegation, which organized two meetings last year with the FAA officials.",
"In response, Air traffic controller said, Air traffic controller was punished, put on paid leave for 11 months, then leave without pay for a month.",
"the FAA said the disciplinary actions had nothing to do with Air traffic controller's safety complaints.",
"Air traffic controller filed a whistle-blower complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, the agency that investigates whistle-blower complaints.",
"Air traffic controller's complaint led DOT Inspector General Calvin Scovel to investigate.",
"DOT Inspector General Calvin Scovel found merit in Air traffic controller' concerns, concluding in a report two months ago that \"questions about the safety of the runway 22L-11 approach configuration at Newark persist.\"",
"In response, the FAA promised to use a computer program that helps air traffic controllers stagger aircraft to ensure proper spacing.",
"On November 5, the DOT wrote to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel confirming the computer system had been put to use at Newark on October 26.",
"The next day the U.S. Office of Special Counsel learned the technology was no longer in use at Newark.",
"\"I am outraged,\" said Rep. Donald Payne, D-New Jersey.",
"\"When you put into jeopardy the human lives at risk, it can't get any more serious than that.\"",
"the FAA spokesperson Laura Brown said, \"There was no intent to deceive anyone about what we were doing.\"",
"FAA spokesperson Laura Brown added, \"the FAA safety officers wanted to make absolutely sure employees were fully trained on the equipment.\"",
"the FAA said the FAA intends to have the computer system fully operational at Newark by mid-December.",
"Last week the U.S. Office of Special Counsel raised the matter with President Obama, writing that \"we found a substantial likelihood that the FAA officials were engaging in conduct that constitutes gross mismanagement and a substantial and specific danger to public safety.\"",

"LONDON, England (CNN) --",
"Ailing \"Great Train Robber\" Ronnie Biggs -- one of the most notorious British criminals of the 20th century -- was formally released from prison to Ronnie Biggs's death bed Friday after being granted Ronnie Biggs's freedom on compassionate grounds.",
"Ronnie Biggs, pictured at a book launch in Rio de Janeiro in 1994.",
"Ronnie Biggs, is being cared for at a hospital in Norwich, eastern England, where Ronnie Biggs was moved on Tuesday.",
"Three prison staff who had been assigned to Ronnie Biggs's bedside have been withdrawn following UK Justice Minister Jack Straw's decision to authorize his release, a Ministry of Justice spokesperson told CNN.",
"\"The medical evidence clearly shows that Ronnie Biggs is very ill and that Ronnie Biggs's condition has deteriorated recently, culminating in Ronnie Biggs's re-admission to hospital,\" Straw said in a statement Thursday.",
"\"Ronnie Biggs's condition is not expected to improve.\"",
"Ronnie Biggs's son, Michael Biggs, said Ronnie Biggs was \"over the moon\" that Ronnie Biggs had been released on the eve of Ronnie Biggs's 80th birthday.",
"Speaking to reporters outside the hospital, Michael Biggs confirmed Michael Biggs's father had been handed Ronnie Biggs's release papers.",
"\"As a family, we are absolutely thrilled,\" Michael Biggs said, according to UK's Press Association.",
"Ronnie Biggs is unable to walk, barely able to communicate and no longer able to eat or drink, Michael Biggs said, adding that the family was \"very hopeful that Ronnie Biggs will be able to survive the next few days.\"",
"Ronnie Biggs's legal advisor Giovanni Di Stefano told journalists that Ronnie Biggs was unlikely to ever leave his hospital bed.",
"\"Ronnie Biggs is ill, Ronnie Biggs's going to die...",
"Ronnie Biggs is going to stay in hospital,\" he said.",
"Saturday also marks the 46th anniversary of the infamous 1963 heist dubbed the \"crime of the century\" that transformed Ronnie Biggs from a petty London thief into one of the most wanted men in Britain.",
"Ronnie Biggs and 14 other professional criminals made off with more than £2.5 million ($4.2 million) in used bank notes -- the equivalent of around £40 million ($67 million) today -- after holding up a mail train from Glasgow to London in the early hours of the morning.",
"In the course of the robbery the train driver was badly beaten with an iron bar.",
"Most of the gang, including Ronnie Biggs, were soon picked up in a massive manhunt after police discovered fingerprints at a farmhouse hideout where the robbers had holed up to split the robbers's spoils.",
"Ronnie Biggs was sentenced to 30 years in prison but escaped over the wall of a London prison after serving just 15 months -- and spent most of the rest of Ronnie Biggs's life as a celebrity fugitive.",
"After undergoing extensive plastic surgery in Paris, Ronnie Biggs made Ronnie Biggs's way to Australia, living there with Ronnie Biggs's wife and two children.",
"Tracked down by police, Ronnie Biggs fled again in 1969, this time to Brazil.",
"Five years later, Ronnie Biggs was traced once more by a newspaper reporter.",
"Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent Jack Slipper, who had led police efforts to bring the robbers to justice, flew out to Rio de Janeiro to arrest Ronnie Biggs, allegedly greeting Ronnie Biggs at a beachside hotel: \"Long time no see, Ronnie.\"",
"But efforts to bring Ronnie Biggs home were frustrated because by then Ronnie Biggs had fathered a Brazilian-born son -- Michael Biggs -- and authorities rejected British requests for Ronnie Biggs's extradition.",
"Ronnie Biggs continued to live openly in Rio de Janeiro, trading on Ronnie Biggs's notoriety by entertaining tourists, selling t-shirts and even recording with the Sex Pistols.",
"In 1981 Ronnie Biggs was kidnapped by a gang of British ex-soldiers and smuggled to Barbados.",

"(Wired) --",
"A year after its release, Google's open source Android operating system has become a sensation.",
"After a slow start, it is now available on at least 12 phones, with more devices waiting in the wings.",
"Good news for Android fans, right?",
"Not really, say some developers.",
"A slew of problems have made managing Android apps a \"nightmare,\" they say, including three versions of Android (Android 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0), custom firmware on many phones, and hardware differences between different models.",
"For users, it means apps in the store could be buggy, might not work well depending on their handsets, and could deliver a frustrating experience.",
"Unaware of the increasing back-end complexity, they would then be more likely to leave bad reviews for those apps -- a potentially lethal blow for small businesses, say developers.",
"\"Instead of working on updates to Froogloid's apps, we find Froogloid are trying to make each app work for multiple versions of Android and different hardware capabilities,\" says Chris Fagan, co-founder at Froogloid, an Android-focused application development company.",
"\"Froogloid are not complaining about all the growth, but if you are a small or a new Android developer coming in and trying to learn I could see your head exploding.",
"It would be overwhelming,\" he says.",
"The problem echoes similar concerns over Java in the 1990s.",
"Originally touted as a way for developers to build apps that would run on any computer (\"write once, run anywhere\"), developers found that wide variations in Java virtual machines as well as available hardware meant that Java's promise was really \"write once, debug everywhere.\"",
"While Java is still used -- particularly in the mobile space, where Java powers games and other apps written for Java-capable cellphones -- Java is not nearly the cross-platform panacea Java was originally conceived as.",
"Chris Fagan's concern about the fragmentation of Android is being echoed by other developers, says Sean Galligan, vice president of business development at Flurry, an mobile app analytics company.",
"\"There's no question that we are starting to hear developers express concern,\" says Sean Galligan, vice president of business development at Flurry, an mobile app analytics company.",
"\"Android is growing very fast and there's a lot of excitement for Android but Android's also a lot for work, especially for medium and small developers.\"",
"Since the launch of the first HTC T-Mobile G1 phone running Android OS, a number of handset makers have jumped on the bandwagon.",
"HTC alone has five Android handsets available, while others like Motorola have shifted completely to the Android platform.",
"In the past two months, Motorola released two new Android-based handsets, the Cliq and Droid.",
"And in a bid to differentiate themselves, handset makers are creating custom user interfaces like the HTC Sense, the Motorola Blur and the Rachael UI from Sony Ericsson.",
"Android phones vary significantly in the hardware, too -- phones with and without camera flash, some have physical keyboards, others don't.",
"\"You may build an app that works perfectly with all three firmwares, but then when you run an app that works perfectly with all three firmwares on carriers' ROMs an app that works perfectly with all three firmwares completely blows up,\" says Fagan.",
"\"So we find ourselves having to create apps that are compatible with multiple firmwares, multiple ROMs and multiple devices with different hardware.\"",
"It's in sharp contrast to the iPhone platform.",
"Apple has tightly controlled the introduction of new iPhones and updates to Apple's operating system.",
"Apple has just three iPhone models available since Apple first introduced the phone in 2007.",
"And all iPhone users are prompted to update all iPhone users's phones to be on the same version of its operating system.",
"While Apple pioneered the app store idea with the iPhone, Android, too, offers Market, a store for distribution of third-party programs.",
"Unlike with the Apple app store, Android developers do not have to go through an approval process to get Android developers's apps on the Android Market.",
"Currently, the Android Market has about 10,000 apps compared to the 100,000 in Apple's app store.",
"For developers, Apple's autocratic ways may be frustrating, but Apple's autocratic ways can pay off.",
"\"Apple maintains an iron grip on what Apple do and there's an advantage to that,\" says Kelly Schrock, owner of Fognl, which has three apps on the Android market.",
"\"IPhone developers don't have to worry about fragmentation and creating apps for the iPhone is much easier.\"",
"Founded about the same time as the first Android phone hit the market, Froogloid today has more than 100,000 users across Froogloid's three apps: a2b, Key Ring and CowPotato.",
"But with Android's growth, managing these apps is becoming quite a challenge, says Chris Fagan.",
"The diversity of devices running Android OS has led to some unexpected results, says Chris Fagan.",
"For instance, the Sprint HTC Hero was launched without the Sprint HTC Hero's GPS setting turned on.",
"When run, the a2b application could trigger it -- but Froogloid soon found that the standard commands Froogloid used reacted differently on the Sprint HTC Hero than on other Android devices.",
"Instead of launching the GPS settings, it set off the \"screen unlock pattern\" settings, says Chris Pick, requiring Froogloid to write custom code in their app for that particular device.",
"Google says Google has emulators available that allows developers to test developers's application running on simulated devices so developers can see how it behaves.",
"But it doesn't always work, says Chris Fagan.",
"\"In a sense, Google are shooting blind with the emulators because Google have no idea how it is really working on the device.\"",
"For instance, explains Chris Pick, the graphics for their 3D game app, Cowpotato worked fine on the emulator but crashed when run on Motorola's Droid phone.",
"Chris Pick suspects a bug in the graphics driver on the Droid.",
"Writing for a fix for it took care of the problem but its not the best solution, he says.",
"\"When Froogloid have to start writing rules based on the phone model in Froogloid's code, it adds more code to Froogloid's code base, creates more work for Froogloid and makes the app heavier,\" says Chris Pick.",
"Different versions of the OS also means new functionality is added or some removed.",
"Understanding these changes and making software backward compatible takes time, say Schrock.",
"\"It's a multiplication of work to support all of them.\"",
"A bigger problem is the customization of firmware or custom ROMs.",
"For instance, Google offers a basic homescreen with the Android code.",
"But device manufacturers or network carriers can always modify it.",
"Sometimes the changes are simple, such as replacing all white color with grey, or red with yellow.",
"That allows handset makers and carriers to tailor Android better for handset makers and carriers's customers, something that Google says Google supports \"strongly.\"",
"\"That isn't a big deal,\" says Fagan.",
"\"However, when they start changing fundamentally how certain activities are controlled, such as user settings and screen orientation, it creates issues for developers that have built their apps on an out of the box version of the firmware/SDK.\"",
"Custom ROMs are always available for developers to look through, points out Froogloid.",
"\"Google has mandated that every one base their releases on the standard versions,\" says Pick.",
"\"But this slips under the radar.\"",
"Ultimately, developers will have to start making tough decisions on who developers want to target and versions of the operating system developers want to support, says Galligan.",
"\"Developers have to identify which devices and carriers appeal to the market Developers are creating an app for and develop just for an app,\" he says.",
"A one-man band, Schrock says without any employees Schrock can't maintain four different app versions.",
"\"It's getting a lot riskier on Android.",
"It's not 4x increase in the cost but it will be a lot more work.\"",
"And while Schrock says the apps are not Schrock's meal ticket, Schrock doesn't want to make choices that could cut off some Android users from Schrock's apps.",
"\"I will have to decide then how much return I am getting and if it is worth it.\"",

"The repair order required airlines to inspect landing-gear doors and take necessary action, fixing landing-gear doors or replacing them with new ones.",
"In this case, American Airlines found damage on four aircraft, but rather than removing landing-gear doors as required, American Airlines repaired landing-gear doors while landing-gear doors remained on the planes.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"In Latin America, Cuba stands out as one of the most effective deployers of soft power.",
"Rather than exporting revolution, Cuba today exports doctors -- with more than 30,000 Cuban doctors working in more than 100 underdeveloped countries around the world.",
"Cuba has become a marquee provider of catastrophe-related medical assistance around the world, particularly after tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes -- and no doubt will send large contingents of medical personnel to earthquake-ravaged Haiti in coming days and weeks.",
"Moving beyond the still active Cold War stasis in U.S.-Cuba relations is an Obama administration foreign policy priority, and the devastation in Haiti provides a platform not only to provide relief for a nearby nation in desperate circumstances, but also to build confidence between Cuban and American authorities in a potential collaboration of effort in a third country.",
"Many great American voices -- from Brent Scowcroft and George Shultz to Jackson Browne and Bill Richardson -- have said that the U.S. embargo on Cuba makes no sense as foreign policy, that the right of Americans to travel anywhere in the world should not be suspended in the case of Cuba, and that Cuba's exports of doctors rather than arms should be more than enough reason to strike Cuba off of America's state sponsors of terror watch list.",
"But change in a relationship as charged and historically toxic as between Fidel Castro's Cuba and 11 U.S. presidents will take narratives to move.",
"One such narrative could evolve from tying American resource coordination and financial support in a regional multilateral effort with other Latin American nations -- particularly Cuba's deep bench of natural disaster-experienced medical corps.",
"After Hurricane Katrina pounded New Orleans and southern Mississippi, Fidel Castro's offered relief support from a 1,600-person medical team called the Henry Reeves Brigade, named after an American doctor who fought in Cuba's war of independence.",
"the United States predictably turned down the offer in September 2005.",
"Shortly after, in October 2005, the Reeves Brigade was dispatched to help provide much-needed medical relief after the devastating Kashmir earthquake that tore through the Himalayan mountain region along Pakistan and Kashmir.",
"the United States and Europe each sent teams of doctors to Pakistan, each with one base camp deployed for a month.",
"The Cubans deployed seven major base camps and 30 field hospitals in the fundamentalist Islamic region of Pakistan, a nation with which Cuba did not have diplomatic relations at the time.",
"Today, the Cubans and Pakistanis have embassies in each other's capitals.",
"Bruno Rodriguez, the new foreign minister of Cuba, who was then the deputy, headed the mission and lived in Pakistan's rugged mountains for that full year.",
"The Cuban medical teams reportedly worked constructively and positively with personnel from the U.S. and Europe -- and this kind of collaboration, even if informal, could be the kind of confidence-building narrative to move U.S.-Cuba relations out of the gridlock they have been in for decades.",
"As a step in the direction of pushing reset in this relationship, on Friday the White House announced that Cuba will allow US aircraft into Cuba's airspace for medical evacuations.",
"The United States could take another step and offer to airlift Cuban doctors to Haiti.",
"Haiti is in trouble today -- the 7.0 earthquake devastating the capital city of Port-au-Prince and highlighting what was already a human development disaster.",
"The UN Development Program's offices have been destroyed, with hundreds unaccounted for.",
"Notwithstanding any casualties among its own citizens in Haiti, Cuba has 408 doctors providing services there.",
"Now is the time for the U.S., Cuba and other major Latin American nations to throw their weight into stopping a worse human tragedy in Haiti than already exists -- and to potentially unite American and Cuban soft power efforts in a way that creates greater positives for Haiti and for longer-term, 21st century U.S.-Cuba relations.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Steve Clemons."

"NEW DELHI, India (CNN)",
"-- Authorities are investigating reports that disabled children in India were buried up to their necks during this week's solar eclipse as a supposed remedy for their handicaps.",
"Hindu women pray as Hindu women bathe in the River Ganges after the total solar eclipse in India.",
"Officials said Thursday Officials were looking into reports that some 34 children aged 2 to 7 were buried in sand up to their chins -- with the consent of the parents -- in the belief that doing so during an eclipse would cure the children of their disabilities.",
"V. Anbu Kumar, caretaker deputy commissioner of Gulbarga district in the state of Karnataka, told CNN that everybody at the site had left when he and police officers arrived.",
"The act was apparently carried out in the early morning hours Wednesday, when the longest solar eclipse of the century turned day into night in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Vietnam, China and parts of the Pacific.",
"Kumar denied that the ritual takes place during every eclipse, but said authorities are \"launching an awareness campaign\" against the practice.",
"A complaint has been registered for \"knowingly endangering human lives,\" Gulbarg police chief B.A. Padmanayna told CNN.",
"Stronger charges could also be pressed against the offenders, Gulbarg police chief B.A. Padmanayna said.",
"Watch the 'exceptional' eclipse » .",
"So far, police have made no arrests in the case.",
"Wednesday's eclipse reignited some superstitions in India.",
"Most pregnant women hope to avoid giving birth during an eclipse, and Indian astrologers even advise expectant mothers to stay indoors when the event occurs. View the eclipse in pictures » .",
"\"It may not cause any physical harm to the baby, but it may affect the child's overall personality,\" said R.K. Sharma, who describes himself as a \"remedial astrologer.\"",
"A solar eclipse, he says, weakens the sun god temporarily because of an encounter with dragon Rahu and leaves some cascading results everywhere.",
"\"Bathing in holy rivers and ponds during this time thus helps protect health and develop positivism and greater will power,\" he explained."

"CNN:",

"CB:",
"I think the reason why the TV series has continued, and has continued as a movie, is that the TV series have never lost the authenticity of the column.",

"If I'm here for 10 days in a row I'm exhausted.",
"When I was younger the energy really fed me.",
"This is a city of energy vampires -- people really feed on each others' energies and that's why New Yorkers talk fast and gesture and New Yorkers'll come in and say \"Oh my god you won't believe what happened!\"",
"That's a normal greeting in New York.",
"CNN:",
"What was it like to get married and stop being the single girl?",
"CB:",
"Charles [Askegard, a principal dancer with the NYC ballet] and I met at the NYC Spring Gala seven years ago.",
"It was really a magical moment because I was 43 and I had kind of given up on that.",
"I was cynical about relationships and I wasn't sure about marriage -- I was always very worried that marriage was stifling.",
"But when I saw Charles across the room I thought, \"That's the man you're going to marry.\"",
"We met and we talked and I thought, \"This is the nicest guy I have ever met in my life,\" and we went to a club and we danced and we kissed.",
"We got married two months after we met.",
"CNN:",
"Can you describe New York in 5 words?",
"CB: It's exciting, passionate, fast paced, straightforward and, strangely enough, it's friendly."

"A biology professor charged in the killings of three faculty members at the University of Alabama in Huntsville was initially a suspect in a 1993 attempted mail bombing of a Harvard Medical School professor, The Boston Globe reported Monday.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson and Amy Bishop Anderson's husband, Jim, were questioned after a package containing two pipe bombs was sent to the Newton, Massachusetts, home of Dr. Paul Rosenberg, a Harvard professor and a doctor at Children's Hospital Boston, The Boston Globe said, citing a law enforcement official.",
"At the time, Amy Bishop Anderson was working as a postdoctoral fellow in the hospital's human biochemistry lab.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson is charged with capital murder in the Friday shooting deaths, making Amy Bishop Anderson eligible for the death penalty in Alabama.",
"Authorities said Amy Bishop Anderson was attending a faculty meeting in a university building when Amy Bishop Anderson brandished a gun and shot six colleagues, killing three.",
"The mother of four was arrested as she was leaving a university building, Huntsville Police Chief Henry Reyes said Saturday.",
"A 9 mm handgun was recovered from the second floor of a university building after the shootings Friday.",
"On Saturday, it was revealed that in 1986, Amy Bishop Anderson, then 19, shot Amy Bishop Anderson's brother to death in Braintree, Massachusetts.",
"Authorities determined after an investigation that the shooting was accidental.",
"But Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier said Saturday, \"It is a far different story, I believe, than what was reported back then.",
"I cannot tell you what the thought process was behind our releasing Amy Bishop Anderson at the time.\"",
"Anderson's husband, Jim, told CNN on Monday that federal investigators had gathered a dozen subjects in the attempted bombing, but \"there were never any suspects.",
"Never anyone charged, never anyone arrested.\"",
"\"Then five years later, we got a letter from the ATF saying, 'You are in the clear,' \" he said, referring to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.",
"Sylvia Fluckiger, a lab technician who worked with Amy Bishop Anderson at the time, told The Boston Globe on Sunday that Amy Bishop Anderson had a dispute with Rosenberg shortly before the bomb incident.",
"Fluckiger told CNN affiliate WCVB-TV in Boston, \"Police interviewed Amy Bishop Anderson, and Amy Bishop Anderson told me about it.",
"I really wondered if Amy Bishop Anderson may have had, you know, some more knowledge, although I'm not accusing Amy Bishop Anderson of anything.\"",
"Rosenberg was opening a package delivered to Rosenberg's home while Rosenberg was away on vacation, but Rosenberg saw wires and a cylinder inside and called police, The Boston Globe reported.",
"\"Amy Bishop Anderson was the suspect early on,\" the law enforcement official, who The Boston Globe said had knowledge of the case, told the newspaper of Amy Bishop Anderson.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson allegedly was concerned that Amy Bishop Anderson was going to receive a negative evaluation from Rosenberg, the official said.",
"Jim Anderson told The New York Times the December 1986 death of Jim Anderson's wife's brother, Seth, was accidental.",
"Jim Anderson declined to comment when CNN asked Jim Anderson about the shooting Monday.",
"Frazier, however, said Saturday that an official involved in the case and still working for Braintree police told him that Amy Bishop Anderson had shot Amy Bishop Anderson's brother during an argument.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson fired a shot in Amy Bishop Anderson's bedroom without hitting anyone, then argued with Amy Bishop Anderson's brother and shot her brother, he said.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson fled the home after the shooting and was arrested after pointing a weapon at a vehicle near the house in an unsuccessful attempt to get the driver to stop.",
"During the booking process, then-Chief John Polio called and told the officers to release Amy Bishop Anderson, Frazier said.",
"Frazier added Amy Bishop Anderson's mother was then a member of the Braintree Personnel Board.",
"Reached by CNN, Polio, now 87 and retired, denied calling in that order, saying detectives told Polio the shooting appeared accidental and it was determined Amy Bishop Anderson should be released to Amy Bishop Anderson's mother.",
"Polio said any link between Amy Bishop Anderson's release and Amy Bishop Anderson's mother's position on the Braintree Personnel Board was \"laughable.\"",
"Amy Bishop Anderson's mother, Judith, did not answer Anderson's door Monday.",
"Reached by telephone, Anderson told CNN, \"We're very distraught,\" and declined further comment.",
"A December 8, 1986, article in The Boston Globe said Amy Bishop Anderson asked Amy Bishop Anderson's mother how to unload a round from a 12-gauge shotgun and accidentally shot Amy Bishop Anderson's brother while Amy Bishop Anderson was handling the weapon.",
"The Boston Globe cited Polio as the source.",
"The state police report on the incident, released Saturday by the office of Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Massachusetts, is similar to The Boston Globe's account.",
"Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Massachusetts was district attorney at the time; staffers said Rep. Bill Delahunt, D-Massachusetts was in the Middle East on Saturday and unable to comment on the case.",
"The 1986 report said Braintree police told state police investigators \"indications were that Amy Bishop Anderson had been attempting to manipulate a 12-gauge shotgun and had subsequently brought a 12-gauge shotgun downstairs in an attempt to gain assistance from Amy Bishop Anderson's mother in disarming a 12-gauge shotgun\" when a 12-gauge shotgun went off, shooting Amy Bishop Anderson's brother in the chest.",
"In a December 17, 1986, interview, Amy Bishop Anderson told authorities Amy Bishop Anderson \"thought it would be a good idea if Amy Bishop Anderson learned how to load a 12-gauge shotgun in the house,\" according to The 1986 report.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson told police Amy Bishop Anderson was concerned for Amy Bishop Anderson's own safety after the family home was broken into, although Amy Bishop Anderson previously had been afraid of a 12-gauge shotgun.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson said Amy Bishop Anderson got a 12-gauge shotgun and loaded shells into a 12-gauge shotgun, but was unable to get them out.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson said that while Amy Bishop Anderson was attempting to unload a 12-gauge shotgun on Amy Bishop Anderson's bed, a 12-gauge shotgun went off.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson then took a 12-gauge shotgun downstairs to ask for help in unloading a 12-gauge shotgun, where the shooting occurred.",
"The 1986 report said both Amy Bishop Anderson and Amy Bishop Anderson's mother said the shooting was accidental.",
"Amy Bishop Anderson's mother told police Anderson did not hear the earlier shot in Anderson's daughter's bedroom and \"believed the house was relatively well soundproofed and that such a discharge would not necessarily be heard on another floor of the house.\"",
"Frazier said police records of the shooting are missing.",
"But Polio said, \"There was no cover-up.",
"Absolutely no cover-up and no missing records.",
"police records of the incident were all there when I left.",
"Where they went in the last 22 years and two police chiefs subsequent, I don't know.\"",
"Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan said Sunday that a review will commence to locate all materials associated with the shooting.",
"Anderson, who is known to students as Dr. Bishop, had been working at the University of Alabama in Huntsville since 2003 and was up for tenure, according to spokesman Ray Garner.",
"However, authorities wouldn't discuss possible motives or whether the issue of tenure may have played a role in the shooting.",
"spokesman Ray Garner said the University of Alabama in Huntsville gives teachers six years to get tenure.",
"Those who do not get it are terminated, spokesman Ray Garner said.",
"Jim Anderson told CNN on Monday that Jim Anderson's wife had been denied tenure and had appealed that decision and won, but Anderson was still fighting to be granted tenure.",
"Anderson was frustrated with \"the process,\" Jim Anderson said.",
"Jim Anderson told CNN earlier Jim Anderson's wife had an attorney but would not say who it was, and Jim Anderson described Anderson as a good teacher.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health and welfare, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said Monday.",
"\"The overwhelming amount of scientific studies show that the threat is real,\" EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said.",
"EPA announcement stems from a Supreme Court ruling which ordered the agency to determine the impact of carbon emissions not only on the environment, but on public health.",
"iReport: Share your thoughts on climate change .",
"\"These long-overdue findings cement 2009's place in history as the year when the United States government began addressing the challenge of greenhouse-gas pollution and seizing the opportunity of clean energy reform,\" EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said.",
"Immediately after EPA announcement, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson was leaving for Copenhagen, Denmark, to participate in the Copenhagen Climate Conference ahead of President Obama's appearance at the end of the week.",
"EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's statement could provide evidence to the conference that the agency and the President Obama administration are taking global warming seriously.",
"However, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said that Monday's announcement does not require any immediate regulatory action.",
"The President Obama administration is pushing for comprehensive energy legislation from Congress that puts a price on carbon emissions, a so-called \"cap and trade\" policy that uses market forces as an incentive for businesses to reduce carbon emissions.",
"EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said carbon dioxide emissions go beyond damaging the environment -- they also endanger public health.",
"EPA made EPA announcement because EPA is required to issue an \"endangerment finding\" -- evidence that carbon emissions are dangerous to the public health -- before EPA can regulate carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases under the federal Clean Air Act.",
"EPA said in April that EPA would likely make such a ruling regarding carbon emissions and public health.",
"EPA completed a public-comment process before making EPA announcement.",
"CNN's Suzanne Malveaux contributed to this report."
