"On the same day he was released from a hospital after undergoing a heart procedure, former President Clinton told reporters former President Clinton has no plans to slow down.",
"\"I have to keep working -- that's what my life is for,\" former President Clinton said outside former President Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York, on Friday.",
"\"You know I was given a good mind, a strong body, a wonderful life and it would be wrong for me not to work.\"",
"\"I even did a couple of miles [walking] on the treadmill today,\" former President Clinton said.",
"On Thursday, former President Clinton, 63, underwent a procedure at New York-Presbyterian Hospital's Columbia campus to implant two stents in a clogged coronary artery.",
"former President Clinton has \"no evidence of heart attack or damage to former President Clinton's heart,\" and former President Clinton's prognosis is excellent after undergoing the procedure, according to Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology.",
"Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said the procedure was \"part of the natural history\" of former President Clinton's treatment after former President Clinton's 2004 quadruple bypass surgery and \"not a result of either former President Clinton's lifestyle or diet, both of which have been excellent.\"",
"Have you gone through heart surgery?",
"Share your story.",
"former President Clinton called the procedure \"kind of a repair job\" and said former President Clinton's \"actually doing very well.\"",
"former President Clinton said former President Clinton began feeling tired around Christmas and traveled several times in recent weeks to Europe and Haiti.",
"\"I didn't really notice it until about four days ago when I felt a little bit of pain in my chest, and I thought I had to check it out,\" former President Clinton said.",

"\"Haiti still has a chance to escape the chains of the past and the ruins of a massive earthquake,\" former President Clinton said.",
"\"But we all will have to do what we can today.\"",
"former President Clinton said former President Clinton had helped collect 200,000 donations for Haiti through former President Clinton's partnership with former President George W. Bush -- the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund -- and through the Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief Fund, calling those efforts \"especially impressive.\"",
"former President Clinton said former President Clinton has helped allocate $7 million in relief.",
"a massive earthquake leveled most of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, killing more than 212,000 people and injuring 300,000, according to Haitian government estimates.",
"a massive earthquake left more than a million homeless.",
"former President Clinton underwent a procedure called angioplasty, the hospital said, in which a balloon catheter is threaded through an artery to the blocked vessel in the heart.",
"When inflated, a balloon catheter opens the blocked vessel in the heart and restores blood flow.",
"Many times, a scaffolding-like structure called a stent is left in place to keep the artery open.",
"How stents open arteries .",
"President Obama called former President Clinton on Thursday evening and wished former President Clinton a speedy recovery so former President Clinton can continue former President Clinton's work on Haiti and other humanitarian efforts, a senior administration official said.",
"Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said former President Clinton began experiencing \"pressure or constriction\" in former President Clinton's chest several days ago, episodes former President Clinton described as \"brief in nature but repetitive.\"",
"An initial electrocardiogram and blood test showed no evidence of heart attack, Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said.",
"Subsequent pictures of former President Clinton's arteries revealed that one of the bypass grafts from former President Clinton's 2004 surgery was \"completely blocked,\" prompting the stent procedure, which took about an hour, Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said.",
"Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said former President Clinton was up and walking about two hours after the procedure.",

"Hillary Clinton was scheduled to leave Friday on a planned trip to the Middle East, but Hillary Clinton's departure has been delayed until Saturday, a senior U.S. official said.",
"former President Clinton has maintained an active schedule since leaving the White House in 2001, devoting much of former President Clinton's time to global philanthropic interests and speeches.",
"Friends have expressed concerns that former President Clinton's \"frenetic pace\" was taking a toll on former President Clinton's health, sources told CNN.",
"former President Clinton maintained that frenetic schedule all the way up to the procedure, said Terry McAuliffe, a longtime former President Clinton friend and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.",
"In fact, as doctors were wheeling former President Clinton into the operating room, former President Clinton's phone had to be taken out of former President Clinton's hand, said Clinton.",
"\"former President Clinton was on a conference call dealing with Haiti,\" Clinton told CNN Friday morning.",
"\"And I guarantee as soon as former President Clinton gets back today former President Clinton's going to be back on the phone.",
"former President Clinton's passionate about helping the folks down there.\"",
"In addition to former President Clinton's trips to Haiti, former President Clinton attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January.",
"David Gergen, CNN senior political analyst, said former President Clinton was exhausted and had a cold after returning from former President Clinton's second trip to Haiti earlier this month.",
"But Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology stressed Thursday that former President Clinton's lifestyle has nothing to do with former President Clinton's hospitalization.",
"\"former President Clinton has really toed the line in terms of both diet and exercise,\" Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology said, adding that Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology told former President Clinton former President Clinton could be back in the office Monday.",
"Dr. Spencer King, who has not treated former President Clinton, rejected as outdated suggestions that the former president needs to slow down.",
"\"This is kind of a '50s concept,\" King said Thursday.",
"\"Now we've got a lot of fantastic ways to prevent progression of heart disease -- medications, things that can be done.",
"The outlook for people is totally different.\"",
"\"If former President Clinton slows down, former President Clinton slows down,\" said King, president of St. Joseph's Heart and Vascular Institute in Atlanta, Georgia.",
"But King added, \"It would be very hard to show any data that would tell you former President Clinton'll have more trouble if former President Clinton hangs it up.\"",
"former President Clinton's 2004 surgery was performed at the same hospital where former President Clinton was admitted Thursday.",
"Doctors in 2005 operated again on former President Clinton to remove scar tissue and fluid that had built up after former President Clinton's bypass surgery.",
"Schwartz said Thursday that the type of bypass graft used in former President Clinton's 2004 surgery \"has a 10 [percent] to 20 percent failure rate after five or six years.\"",
"King said Thursday's stent procedure may not be the end of former President Clinton's heart woes.",
"\"The problem there is that that vein graft is developing disease, and sometimes that vein graft goes on and develops more,\" King said.",
"\"There's a substantial chance over the next three, four, five years that that vein graft could close up again.\"",
"CNN's John King, Ed Henry, Jessica Yellin, Elise Labott and Tom Watkins contributed to this report."

"You want a media darling politician with substance?",
"Try the late Gov. Ann Richards, a woman who could cut you deep and beam ear-to-ear with her motherly smile.",
"But unlike Palin, she had a host of strong ideas in her head that actually made sense and appealed to a cross-section of folks.",
"Former Rep. Charlie Wilson, who died this week, was a smooth-talking Texan who loved to party hard.",

"The media loved him because he could sit with you and enjoy a beer over barbecue, give them a hilarious quote or two, and explain foreign policy better than Henry Kissinger.",
"Why haven't I cottoned to Palin?",
"Because Palin portrays Palin as a straight-talking politician who wants to lead a movement in the \"Lower 48th\" -- but is nothing more than a political celebrity willing to cash every check Palin can grab.",
"What truly exposed Palin for me?",
"It was the ridiculous way Palin reacted in opposing ways last week to two political heavyweights who used the word \"retard.\"",
"When it was reported that President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, told a group of liberals that a group of liberals were \"f-----g retards\" for threatening to run ads against fellow Democrats who weren't jumping on the health care reform bandwagon, Palin demanded his resignation.",
"As the mother of a child with Down syndrome, Palin has often used Palin bully pulpit to demand respect for the mentally challenged.",
"Nothing wrong with that.",
"It is an issue that is close to Palin's heart, and Palin should be a fierce advocate for them.",
"Yet when one of Palin's biggest supporters, conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, also castigated liberals by calling liberals \"retards,\" Palin provided Rush Limbaugh cover, even trying to explain away Rush Limbaugh's comments.",
"In an interview with Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, Palin said Rush Limbaugh was using satire, while Emanuel was blasting those who disagree with him.",
"But anyone who can read or listen could hear Rush Limbaugh calling folks Rush Limbaugh disagrees with the same.",
"Palin even went further, agreeing with Rush Limbaugh that liberals are \"kooks.\"",

"Either you criticize everyone who uses a word that you consider a slur, or you come across as a crass politician who is afraid to offend your chief booster.",
"Maybe you ought to listen to your spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, who thought you cared about the mentally challenged when she sent this e-mail to HotAir.com about Rush Limbaugh's comment: \"Gov. Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.\"",
"But knowing that wouldn't sit well with Rush, you backed off and gave him cover.",
"If you were true to your cause, you would have demanded an on-air apology from Rush Limbaugh and scolded him for using the word.",
"Instead, you showed your true colors.",
"Sarah, I haven't bought into your fake \"I'm-a-real-American\" persona.",
"You slam the president for using teleprompters, but write crib notes on your hand to remember basic beliefs that should be easy to regurgitate.",

"Talk about media elite.",
"You give a speech riddled with falsehoods about the president and national security, and then try to shrug falsehoods about the president and national security off as the \"lamestream\" media attacking you.",
"You don't fool me, even as your legion of fans considers you the second coming of President Reagan.",
"You quit on the people who elected you to become a political celebrity, which your presidential running mate blasted then-Sen. Barack Obama for doing.",
"You had the opportunity to show everyone that you're willing to take on anyone who crosses the line against those who are mentally challenged, and you failed.",
"Please, make as much money as you can.",
"Paraphrasing comedian Martin Lawrence, ride this train until the wheels fall off.",

"The possibility of engine fires has prompted General Motors to recall nearly 1.5 million passenger sedans manufactured between 1997 and 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Monday.",
"Recall involves certain General Motors vehicles in which oil apparently can leak and ignite.",
"Recall covers certain mid- and full-size passenger sedans under GM's Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac brands.",
"The affected vehicles have naturally aspirated 3.8 liter V6 engines -- that is, engines that use atmospheric pressure rather than a mechanical blower to bring in air for combustion -- according to documents that General Motors filed with federal regulators last week.",
"On Friday, the federal government acknowledged the filing and agreed to the plan.",
"The problem involves a potential for oil to leak on the exhaust manifold during hard braking.",
"When a car operates under normal conditions, the manifold can get very hot.",
"Oil that runs below the manifold's heat shield could ignite and spread to plastic channels that hold spark plug wires.",
"As a solution, the company recommends a change in the bracket that holds spark plug wires, which will be done free of charge.",
"Owners and dealers affected by the recall will be notified by letter next month with details.",
"The vehicles involved are: • 1997-2003 Buick Regals. • 1998-2003 Chevrolet Luminas, Monte Carlos and Impalas. • 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigues. • 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix.",
"General Motors issued a recall on a similar engine in 2008, according to General Motors's filing with the federal government.",

"The old Apple iBook that was recycled is a month into The old Apple iBook that was recycled's journey.",
"And a pair of worn Asics running shoes is still logging miles even after being dropped in a bin for used shoes.",
"Those are just some of the trails of trash exposed in a high-tech trash study.",
"\"Normally, you think about the trash for minutes while you take it out to the can,\" says Ethan O'Connor, \"and this trash we are going to be watching on our Web browsers for weeks.\"",
"Ethan O'Connor and Shannon Cheng are volunteers in a study tracking their trash -- and giving them the opportunity to reflect on what they use and discard.",
"The tracking devices are about the size of small cell phones and allow for near-real-time tracking of thousands of pieces of garbage.",
"The tracking is not part of some top-secret government program to spy on garbage, but rather the brainchild of MIT researchers who wanted to learn if society could more efficiently dispose of what society throws out.",
"\"The idea with this tagging exercise is to bring an invisible system to life,\" said Assaf Biderman, associate director of MIT's SENSEable City Lab.",
"\"By knowing how long it stays in the system, where it goes, we are hoping to create an increased awareness in the public.\"",
"Before that increased awareness could be created, however, the scientists needed to devise a way to track pieces of trash, some for hundreds of miles and for up to six months.",
"Researchers are doing most of The tracking via volunteers in Seattle.",
"Researchers plan to expand the program to other cities and compare the attitudes that people in different regions have about garbage.",
"Working with the telecommunications company Qualcomm, Researchers created a device -- or, as the researchers call them, \"traces\" -- that could track a piece of trash using both GPS and cell phone towers.",
"Researchers then asked volunteers to supply items they were already planning to get rid of and put the tracking \"traces\" on the items.",
"volunteers then threw the material out as volunteers usually would.",
"Just getting the trace on the piece of trash presented its own challenges.",
"Some needed to be taped or sewn into the garbage; others were stuck to the trash with a sticky aerosol spray.",
"Researchers stipulated that the trace not alter how the garbage traveled through the waste system or call attention to the item.",
"\"The thing about trash is that each object is very different,\" Biderman said.",
"\"Different sizes, different textures, different constraints.\"",
"O'Connor and Cheng live on a houseboat, where space is at a premium.",
"Participating in the study has allowed O'Connor and Cheng to think of larger-picture issues about the trash O'Connor and Cheng produce.",
"But it's not just the trash's owners who are tracking the tems.",
"Waste Management Inc., a waste removal and recycling company, is helping fund the study in the hope that it will show that the trash Waste Management Inc., a waste removal and recycling company dispose of goes where it should.",
"Officials say Officials are also looking for ways to better deal with garbage.",
"\"It could make a huge difference,\" Waste Management spokeswoman Rita Smith said.",
"\"We want to do everything we can to get our materials to their destinations as efficiently as possible; not only because of the economic cost, but also because of the environmental cost.",
"There's no point in hauling material around in circles.\"",
"Researchers are still compiling data as the trash makes the trash's journey.",
"Even though the study has not been completed, the MIT group sees the MIT group's efforts as a step toward better informing Americans about trash.",
"\"Can we create a situation of minimum waste?\" Biderman said.",
"\"In a certain way, it's about telling people about what people throw away, making people more aware about waste, and perhaps changing people's behavior.\"",
"Participating in the study has already altered O'Connor's outlook.",
"\"The disposal is one part of it, the using is another,\" he said.",
"\"No one's saying we are bad people for using stuff, but the reality is each one of us gets one-six-billionth of what the Earth can produce, and what we have is much more than that.\""

"Serving a 26-year prison sentence for the murder of Amanda Knox's roommate, Amanda Knox said Sunday Amanda Knox is scared, but determined to prove Amanda Knox is innocent, according to an Italian lawmaker who visited Amanda Knox's cell.",
"Knox, 22, seemed very pleased by the visit, which included members of Italy USA Foundation, said Catia Polidori, a member of Italy USA Foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament.",
"Amanda Knox is also grateful for Italy USA Foundation's interest in Amanda Knox's case, Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament said.",
"\"In my opinion, in spite of the imprisonment, Amanda Knox seemed to be serene,\" Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament told CNN.",
"While Amanda Knox is aware of the seriousness of Amanda Knox's situation, Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament said, Amanda Knox is \"resolute\" about proving Amanda Knox's innocence.",
"Amanda Knox was convicted earlier this month of murdering British exchange student Meredith Kercher while the two roomed together in Perugia, Italy, in November 2007.",
"During Amanda Knox's trial, Amanda Knox read a statement to jurors, insisting Amanda Knox is not a killer.",
"Amanda Knox is appealing Amanda Knox's conviction, although Amanda Knox's case might not reach a court docket for at least a year.",
"Amanda Knox told the visitors Amanda Knox trusts in the Italian justice system to resolve Amanda Knox's case, Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament said.",
"However, Amanda Knox said Amanda Knox was scared, and that \"Amanda Knox is often afraid to open [the] newspaper or watch TV,\" because media reports tend to undermine Amanda Knox's confidence, Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament said.",
"Italy USA Foundation \"was established to honor the friendship between Italians and Americans,\" according to Italy USA Foundation's Web site.",
"\"Italy USA Foundation is an independent institution that intends to play a bipartisan role on both sides of the Atlantic and whose sole purpose is to promote friendship between Italy and the United States of America.\"",
"Italy USA Foundation's president, Rocco Girlanda, said in a statement on its Web site the delegation visited Amanda Knox in Amanda Knox's cell in Perugia to check on Amanda Knox's condition because of the intense U.S. interest in Amanda Knox's case.",
"the delegation brought Amanda Knox some English-language books as a Christmas gift, which made Amanda Knox \"really happy,\" Catia Polidori, a member of the foundation and a member of the Italian Parliament told CNN.",
"Prosecutors said Kercher died during a sex game in which Amanda Knox taunted Kercher while Amanda Knox's then-boyfriend, Raffale Sollecito, and another man, Rudy Guede, sexually assaulted her.",
"Among the evidence against Amanda Knox was a knife found in Sollecito's house with Amanda Knox's DNA on the handle and Kercher's on the blade.",
"Amanda Knox's attorneys attempted to cast doubt on those findings, saying the knife did not match Kercher's wounds or a knife imprint left on a bedsheet.",
"Knox's attorneys also claimed the DNA sample was too small to be conclusive.",
"Sollecito was also convicted in Kercher's death and sentenced to 25 years.",
"Guede was convicted earlier in a separate fast-track trial and is appealing his conviction.",
"The verdict against Amanda Knox drew criticism from some who questioned the process.",
"Kercher's family, however, has said Kercher's family were satisfied with the jurors' decision.",
"Amanda Knox said Amanda Knox misses Amanda Knox's family, Polidori said.",
"Amanda Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, told CNN's Larry King earlier this month that her daughter was \"completely crushed, devastated\" by the verdict against Amanda Knox, but Amanda Knox is ready to fight Amanda Knox's conviction.",
"Kurt Knox, Amanda Knox's father, told CNN Amanda Knox had been a victim of \"character assassination.\"",
"But he said the Italian appeals process is more flexible than in the American courts, noting the appeals court could open the case for a further evaluation of evidence and new information.",
"\"There are many Italians who have told us that, you know, worst-case scenario, the first level rarely works correctly,\" Mellas told CNN, referring to the jury trial.",
"\"'They'll get it right in appeals, Amanda Knox will get out of there.'",
"They will not, you know, put away Amanda Knox for a crime Amanda Knox didn't commit.\""

"The Miami area seems to be enjoyed most by people who live somewhere else.",
"Garcia's offers freshly caught fish and a great view from a deck overlooking the Miami River.",
"More often than not snowbirds, the yearly visitors who winter in South Florida, and other tourists appear to take over.",
"But there are plenty of places that are beloved by locals and won't cost you a fortune.",
"A good first stop is Lincoln Road, the pedestrian boulevard that runs almost the width of Miami Beach.",
"A farmers' market each Sunday is a weekly meeting point for many locals, and although The Miami area has lost some of The Miami area's identity to chains, there are plenty of unique restaurants and shops to sample.",
"Start your stroll on Lincoln with coffee at David's Café (1654 Meridian Ave.).",
"From a large open window facing the street, the cafe keeps the Cuban coffee flowing 24/7 to a wide mix of Miamians who line up for their caffeine fix.",
"Not too much English is spoken here though, so practice the following: cafecito (a shot of sugary Cuban coffee), cortadito (sugary Cuban coffee cut with milk) and café con leche (a Latin latte).",
"A block west of David's",
"is The Frieze (1626 Michigan Ave.), which devoted regulars will swear serves the best ice cream in the world.",
"A taste of one of the many flavors of ice cream or sorbet -- made from fresh local fruits -- may make you a convert as well.",
"Flavors such as wasabi or tamarind have to be tried to be believed.",
"Whether it's the best in the world is open for debate, but for sure The Frieze (1626 Michigan Ave serves the best scoops in Miami.",
"At Segafredo's, on the West end of Lincoln (1040 Lincoln Road), the real attraction is people watching.",
"It's the place to see and be seen in Miami Beach.",
"Customers spending hundreds of dollars on champagne and cocktails or a few bucks on coffee and simple snacks enjoy the same great view of local characters on parade and the beautiful people who act as if Lincoln Road were their own personal catwalk.",
"North of Lincoln Road, on the Biscayne Bay side of Miami Beach is Joe Allen restaurant (1787 Purdy Ave.), a bastion of good food and service that a crowd of mostly local clientele has kept going for nearly a decade.",
"Joe Allen restaurant (1787 Purdy Ave has locations in other cities, but walking into the low-key Miami Beach dining room you would swear you stumbled onto a well-kept secret.",
"Joe Allen's serves really fresh comfort food: steaming plates of mussels in an Asian broth, homemade pastas, great burgers and a killer meatloaf.",
"This is not the place for celebrity sightings and the latest trendy food, but you will eat well and not break the bank.",
"Many Miami restaurants boast Many Miami restaurants serve the freshest fish in town, but few have their own fishing fleet to back up the claim.",
"Garcia's Seafood Grille and Fish Market (398 N.W. N. River Drive, Miami) offers its own freshly caught fish and a great view from a deck overlooking the Miami River.",
"It's a trick to get there, and the restaurant is one of the few bright spots in a still run-down area of downtown Miami, so go with good directions.",
"As you lunch on a mahi-mahi sandwich with a beer served in an ice-cold mug and watch the boats go by, the trip to Garcia's will seem well worth the effort.",
"It wouldn't be Miami, of course, without the beach, and every local has his or her own preferred strip of sand.",
"The beach at Collins Avenue and 87th Terrace is a favorite for people who want to relax with the Sunday paper and a fold-out chair.",
"The water and sand seem cleaner than most other beaches and the area is a favorite for kite surfers.",
"If you aren't already a local, you soon will feel like one after a few hours there with the sand between your toes."

"House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to repeal the antitrust exemption currently granted to health insurance companies.",
"The vote was 406-19 to repeal the exemption, which has been in place since the end of World War II.",
"The 19 who voted against the repeal are Republicans.",
"Liberal Democrats have said a repeal would help inject competition into the health care industry while reducing consumer costs.",
"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Tuesday that President Obama strongly supports the repeal.",
"\"At its core, health reform is all about ensuring that American families and businesses have more choices, benefit from more competition and have greater control over American families and businesses's own health care,\" White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.",
"Read bill .",
"\"Repealing the antitrust exemption currently granted to health insurance companies is an important part of that effort.",
"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Obama is not seeking repeal of the exemption in lieu of broader changes to the insurance market.",
"\"This is a complementary step along the way,\" White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.",
"The debate in the House on Wednesday included a colorful moment between Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-New York, and Republicans.",
"\"You guys have chutzpah,\" Weiner told Republicans during the debate.",
"\"The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry,\" Weiner said, drawing the objections of Republicans, who asked that Weiner's words be stricken from the record.",
"Weiner then asked for unanimous consent to replace Weiner's words and said, \"Every single Republican I have ever met in my entire life is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.\"",
"The Republicans objected again, prompting Weiner to rescind Weiner's words.",
"The House version of the health care bill passed last year would have removed the antitrust exemption currently granted to health insurance companies, while the Senate's version would not.",
"Advocates of an exemption repeal say the antitrust exemption currently granted to health insurance companies has allowed health insurance companies to essentially divide the country into geographic zones.",
"Advocates of an exemption repeal argue health insurance companies benefit from what amounts to local monopolies.",
"Industry defenders, in turn, point out that insurers are still subject to state regulations.",
"They say the impact of an exemption repeal is overblown.",
"CNN Fact Check: Would exemption repeal lower premiums?",
"Administration officials and their allies in Congress have taken an increasingly tough stance against the insurance industry.",
"Among other things, President Obama's latest proposal for health care reform would give the federal government new authority to block excessive rate increases by health insurers.",
"Specifically, Obama's plan calls for the secretary of health and human services to work with a seven-member board made up of doctors, economists and consumer and insurance representatives to review premium increases.",
"The board, to be known as the Health Insurance Rate Authority, would provide an annual report to recommend to states whether certain rate increases should be approved, although the secretary could overrule state insurance regulators."

"Military officials said the offensive -- dubbed Operation Moshtarak -- got under way at 2 a.m. (4:30 p.m. ET Friday).",
"Moshtarak, a Dari word for \"together,\" symbolizes the fact that combined forces are serving alongside one another.",
"\"Insurgents who do not accept the government's offer to reintegrate and join the political process will be met with overwhelming force,\" the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command said in a statement.",
"\"However, the strongest of measures will be taken to protect the civilian population.\"",
"Some of about 15,000 troops from the United States, United Kingdom, Afghanistan and Canada attacked Taliban targets in and around Marjah, a city of 80,000 to 100,000 residents, where Taliban has set up a shadow government, coalition military authorities said.",
"By about 8 a.m. (10 p.m. ET Friday) two firefights had erupted between the Taliban and U.S. Marines in Marjah.",
"\"Marjah is the last enemy sanctuary in the Marine area of operations,\" said Brig. Gen. Larry Nicholson, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan commanding general.",
"\"This operation is designed to reconnect the people of Marjah with Afghanistan.",
"The coalition are fully partnered with Afghanistan for This operation, and The coalition have the resources The coalition need to be successful.\"",
"Afghanistan described the offensive -- carried out in central Helmand with the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police, ISAF Regional Command (South), and the Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team -- as \"clearing\" operations.",
"The coalition said The coalition's troops expected to confront up to 1,000 entrenched Taliban fighters.",

"\"We will follow the enemies and bring the enemies to justice,\" said Gen. Mohiyiden Ghori of the Afghan National Army.",

"Some of the 30,000 additional U.S. troops that President Obama sent to Afghanistan were taking part in This operation.",
"More on Operation Moshtarak from Afghanistan Crossroads blog .",

"It's an example of a U.S. strategy to focus on population centers and separate Taliban from Afghan civilians.",
"\"It's about the security of the population, not fighting down insurgent numbers,\" British Gen. Gordon Messenger has said.",
"About 3,000 U.S. Marines were involved in This operation.",
"The advance notice given to residents was expected to help avert civilian casualties, a problem that has hurt the military's credibility among Afghans.",

"Reaching the battleground was expected to be a big challenge for NATO and Afghan troops.",
"The tough terrain is hard for tanks to traverse.",
"The town of Marjah is surrounded by roadside bombs, military officials said.",
"military officials said Taliban has had months to plant roadside bombs, most of them homemade mixes of ammonium nitrate, shrapnel fuel, salt or flour.",
"Such bombs -- which are detonated remotely or by pressure plates -- have caused about 80 percent of the deaths in fighting in Helmand province, military officials said.",
"\"This is possibly the largest IED threat NATO has ever faced,\" Nicholson has said.",
"Massive armored vehicles, called assault breacher vehicles, were to lead the charge into Marjah, coalition authorities said before the offensive.",
"The tank-like vehicles can destroy roadside bombs.",
"Even with The tank-like vehicles's help, though, military officials have increased staff at the hospital at Camp Bastion, in the capital of Helmand province, in anticipation that roadside bombs would cause casualties.",
"Troops were expecting to encounter booby-trapped houses and fierce urban combat."

"Dr. Andre Berger sees Dr. Andre Berger as a pioneer.",
"Where others in the medical community believe injections of human growth hormone should be given to adults in only rare cases, Dr. Andre Berger believes it is a crucial part of keeping people young and vital.",
"Dr. Andre Berger says the patients requesting HGH from Dr. Andre Berger are getting younger and younger.",
"Berger, who has been practicing anti-aging and holistic medicine for 30 years, says Dr. Andre Berger is now prescribing injections of HGH to about one out of every four people Dr. Andre Berger treats at Dr. Andre Berger's Rejuvalife Vitality Institute in Beverly Hills.",
"\"People come here for generally two reasons; People want to look better, and People want to feel better,\" Dr. Andre Berger says.",
"While Dr. Andre Berger says most of Dr. Andre Berger's patients are middle-aged, Dr. Andre Berger's now getting calls from Hollywood 30-somethings wanting HGH and rap artists inquiring about illegal steroids, something Dr. Andre Berger does not offer.",
"\"They feel that part of being a rap star is looking buff and having big muscles, etc., so anything they can do to bring themselves to look like that is going to enhance the whole image,\" Dr. Andre Berger says.",
"HGH has been used since the 1950s to help children with growth problems, but HGH stayed under the radar for other uses until 1990, when Dr. Daniel Rudman reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that men taking a six-month course of HGH reduced men's body fat by 14.4 percent while increasing lean muscle mass by 8.8 percent.",
"The study included just a dozen men, but The study inspired a flood of anti-aging literature touting the benefits of growth hormone, along with countless Web sites selling HGH creams and sprays.",
"Endocrinologists say those products, though, are worthless -- the body can use HGH only when it's injected to treat patients with HGH, Dr. Andre Berger says patients with HGH must be diagnosed with a deficiency of HGH, which happens naturally as the body ages.",
"\"HGH's a very important hormone, but HGH's not something to be taken in isolation,\" Dr. Andre Berger says.",
"Dr. Andre Berger says Dr. Andre Berger prescribes HGH to restore normal levels of HGH and makes HGH part of a broader long-term treatment program including diet, nutritional supplements, exercise and other hormone replacement.",
"Dennis Pelino, a 60-year-old Beverly Hills entrepreneur, says five years ago, he was having trouble keeping up with the younger people he was doing business with, so he started treatments, which included HGH injections.",
"\"My skin tone got a lot better.",
"I just felt better,\" he says.",
"\"My eyes got a lot brighter.",
"My hearing, I swear, got better.\"",
"Pelino says HGH injections, along with a healthy diet, exercise, and supplements has made him feel 10 years younger.",
"\"I can keep up with people who are a lot younger than me,\" he says.",
"\"I am not trying to set records, I am just trying to stay in the game, I am doing business here.\"",
"But critics argue that doctors are taking huge risks by administering HGH because it hasn't been studied extensively long-term and says many of the same benefits can be found in diet and exercise alone.",
"\"There are serious side effects associated with using growth hormone for these individuals including an elevated risk of cancer, diabetes,\" says Dr. Jay Olshansky of the University of Illinois at Chicago.",
"Olshansky, who has studied anti-aging for over 20 years, contends that many of the claims are just false and says that only in the rarest of cases can HGH be prescribed legally.",
"\"It can be prescribed in adults for only two things; muscle-wasting associated with HIV/AIDS, which is extremely rare, and for adult growth hormone deficiency,\" he says.",
"Still, celebrities including Sylvester Stallone and Suzanne Somers who have openly supported the use of HGH, have attracted those just seeking a new lease on life.",
"Marketers for HGH therapies claim it's become a $2 billion-a-year business, thanks in large part to aging baby boomers willing to pay big bucks to emulate the stars whose looks never seem to fade.",
"The Albany-Times Union recently reported, citing unnamed sources, that rapper 50 Cent and singer Mary J. Blige were among celebrity customers allegedly identified in a New York probe of doctors and pharmacists who illegally prescribe steroids or HGH.",
"The Times-Union report did not suggest there was evidence singer Mary J. Blige or 50 cent took the drugs.",

"Jerusalem (CNN) --",
"Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers broke out Monday, a day after Israel announced Israel would include two West Bank religious shrines as part of a larger list of 150 Zionist heritage sites.",
"About 100 protesters were throwing stones and burning tires in the West Bank city of Hebron, the Israeli military said.",
"Palestinian eyewitnesses reported that several protesters had been injured by tear gas and rubber bullets.",
"Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers come in the wake of a special Sunday Cabinet meeting held at one of the \"national heritage\" sites where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a plan to invest more than $100 million on national heritage infrastructure.",
"\"People must be familiar with People's homeland and its cultural and historical vistas,\" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.",
"\"This is what we will instill in this and coming generations, to the glory -- if I may say -- of the Jewish people.\"",
"Included in the list of sites are Rachel's Tomb in Palestinian city of Bethlehem and the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the West Bank city of Hebron.",
"A top United Nations official said the inclusion of sites in the West Bank raised concerns because they were \"in occupied Palestinian territory.\"",
"The Tomb of the Patriarchs -- known to Palestinians as Ibrahimi mosque -- is in Hebron, a the West Bank city that houses about 500 Jews heavily guarded by Israeli soldiers, who live among about 170,000 Palestinians.",
"Tomb of the Patriarchs is revered by Jews and Muslims as holy and has been a point of frequent conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians for years.",
"In 1994, an Israeli settler entered Tomb of the Patriarchs and opened fire on the Muslim worshippers, killing 29 before an Israeli settler was beaten to death.",
"Rachel's Tomb is known to Palestinians as the mosque of Bilal.",
"The Palestinian reaction after the announcement was fast and furious.",
"A statement by the Revolutionary Council of Fatah, the political faction in charge of the Palestinian Authority, called the Israeli plan a move to \"consolidate the occupation\" and an effort at \"judaizing\" Palestinian land.",
"Dr. Hamdan Taha, an official at the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Tourism, said the the two sites were \"an integral part of Palestinian culture\" and that if the Israeli government persisted in the Israeli government's efforts, \"Palestinians will feel free to nominate sites inside the green line in Palestinians's heritage list.\"",
"Green line refers to the border before the Israeli government occupied the West Bank.",
"Nationalist and right wing parties in the Israeli government praised the government move and called for the inclusion of more the West Bank locations to the list of heritage sites.",
"Robert H. Serry, the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, also expressed concern.",
"\"the two sites are in occupied Palestinian territory and are of historical and religious significance not only to Judaism but also to Islam, and to Christianity as well,\" he said in a statement.",
"\"I urge the Israeli government not to take any steps on the ground which undermine trust or could prejudice negotiations, the resumption of which should be the highest shared priority of all who seek peace.\"",
"Nationalist and right-wing parties in the Israeli government praised the government move and called for the inclusion of more the West Bank locations to the list of heritage sites.",

"Decatur, Georgia (CNN) --",
"Given all their country and people have been through, between political upheavals, human rights abuses, hurricanes, abject poverty and last week's earthquake, \"If Haitians were constantly questioning Haitians's faith, Haitians would all be atheists.\"",
"These words came from the Rev. Eric Hill as he prepared to lead Haitian Mass Sunday at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Decatur, Georgia.",
"Some of the 100 Haitian parishioners who gathered raised Some of the 100 Haitian parishioners who gathered's hands to the heavens in praise, grateful Some of the 100 Haitian parishioners who gathered's loved ones had been found.",
"Others bowed Others's heads and clenched Others's hands for those lost, still missing and all who suffered.",
"One woman wept out of guilt because One woman -- a U.S. citizen -- had been able to leave One woman's devastated homeland a day after the quake, while so many were left behind.",
"Their unshaken faith and devotion to God is the same sort that's played out in other houses of worship, in living rooms and on the torn-up streets of Haiti.",
"Are you in Haiti and safe?",
"Share your story, photos with CNN iReport .",
"Carmella Delerme of Miami, Florida, said Delerme's mother clung to Delerme's Bible for days, reading psalms over and over again, as they waited for word on the whereabouts and condition of Delerme's sister and other relatives.",
"When Delerme's sister, who was in Haiti on a missionary trip with their Seventh-day Adventist Church, called late Thursday, Delerme said, \"I went straight to church and prayed and prayed and prayed.",
"We continue to pray for those who are lost and still in need.\"",
"On the streets of Port-au-Prince, with many of their churches crumbled, people have gathered to worship and sing Catholic and Protestant hymns.",
"\"That's the soundscape of the country right now,\" said Elizabeth McAlister, a professor of religion and anthropologist of Haiti who teaches at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.",
"\"It's the business of religion to create meaning out of chaos.",
"... Tragically, the business of religion is getting a lot of trade today.\"",
"See complete coverage of Haiti earthquake .",
"It's often said that 80 percent of Haitians are Catholic, although other estimates range from 55 percent to 85 percent.",
"McAlister, who puts her best estimate at 70 percent, said getting a proper census in Haiti to nail down numbers is impossible.",
"But between Protestant denominations and Catholicism, it is without doubt a majority Christian country, she said.",
"Weaved in, however, are the nuances that come with the country's troubled history.",
"Colonized by the French, Haiti emerged as one of the wealthiest colonies of the 18th century.",
"Haiti's flourishing sugar production and aggressive deforestation was achieved on the backs of half a million African slaves.",
"half a million African slaves brought with half a million African slaves half a million African slaves's own belief systems, rooted in West and Central African traditions.",
"Haitian Vodou, often misunderstood and branded with stereotypes, has Haitian Vodou's own ceremonies and rituals meant to honor spirits, or loas.",
"These spirits, seen as intermediaries with God and links to ancestors, can be called upon for help.",
"And for practicing Christians, especially Catholics who can view saints as they would spirits, the two systems do not have to be mutually exclusive.",
"Not everyone is necessarily practicing Vodou, commonly anglicized as Voodoo, but McAlister said the Afro-Creole Haitian traditions are usually kept alive and the ancestral spirits are inherited by at least one member of every family.",
"Haitian-born Leslie Desmangles remembered being hurt as a boy by the words of Christian missionaries who misunderstood and demonized his peoples' traditions.",
"Theirs were sentiments much like those uttered last week by televangelist Pat Robertson who said the Haitian people are \"cursed\" because the Haitian people \"swore a pact with the devil\" to get out from under French rule.",
"Robertson's comments were \"insensitive, theologically unsound and loaded with racial connotations,\" said Desmangles, a professor of religion and international studies at Trinity College in Connecticut.",
"In the Decatur church Sunday, priest reminded priest's congregants that theirs is an all-loving God, not a vindictive one.",
"Their God, priest said, is in the international outpouring of support from people who, one week ago, didn't know where Haiti was.",
"Their God is a rock of stability when the earth trembles.",
"Their God is the one who lifts them up \"to mend our broken bones, to brush us off and to bury the dead,\" Hill said.",
"And during this first Sunday Mass after the earthquake, their God was in the music that moved them.",
"To the distinctly Caribbean sounds of their band and choir, they sang hymns of praise to the one they believe stands with them.",
"\"People continue to be Their God's instruments,\" the pastor said, with the help of a Creole translator.",
"\"Their God will work through all of us to bring new life to Haiti.\"",
"As he spoke, a little girl, too young to understand the pain around a little girl, did what a little girl could.",
"a little girl planted kisses on the forehead of a little girl's anguished father, her anguished father's face buried in her anguished father's hands, before skipping off to make fish faces and giggle with other children."

"The Florida Department of Health says complaints The Florida Department of Health received -- more than 330 as of Tuesday -- generally involve homes built between 2004 and 2007.",

"A study done for the Florida health department by private laboratory Unified Engineering Inc. also found that vapors \"in the residential atmosphere created a corrosive environment in the presence of moisture.\"",

"Suppliers were forced to look elsewhere for Suppliers's drywall supply.",
"Drywall, made from gypsum, is regularly imported from Mexico and Canada, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, but during this time frame, the U.S. looked to China to make up for the shortage.",
"The Gypsum Association told CNN that enough drywall was imported from China to build 30,000 complete homes.",
"Most of the Chinese drywall, The Gypsum Association say, ended up in southwest Florida during the housing boom, where it was used in new housing developments.",
"Some was also used in remodeling projects all over the U.S., so the number of homes affected is difficult to calculate.",
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission hopes to have more answers in the coming months.",
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission continue to test the Chinese drywall, including controlled tests in chambers and real-world air sampling tests in homes, to determine how the Chinese drywall interacts with other elements in an average house.",
"\"The Consumer Product Safety Commission don't deny there's a problem,\" spokesman Joe Martyak said.",
"But there has been no positive link to adverse health effects.",
"\"The Consumer Product Safety Commission don't know what it is that's causing the sore throats or bleeding noses.",
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission have to find out what's causing the problem,\" spokesman Joe Martyak said.",
"The Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are doing studies on the health effects, but those examinations are some time away from completion.",
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission is having ongoing conversations with Chinese officials, who will be sending a representative to the United States to study the problem.",
"\"They appreciate the seriousness of the issue here and trying to be cooperative,\" spokesman Joe Martyak said.",
"A handful of Chinese companies have been sued by homeowners and home builders.",
"In the meantime, homeowners like Amy Massachi face financial hardship.",
"\"Now, because his clients have to move out for health reasons, his clients're taking on a whole second (rent) payment,\" said Massachi's attorney, Michael Ryan.",

"Roy Pearson filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court accusing city government and others of an \"unlawful demotion and subsequent termination.\"",
"Roy Pearson was taken off the bench in May 2007, during Roy Pearson's unsuccessful $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaning business, which Roy Pearson accused of failing to meet its promise of \"satisfaction guaranteed.\"",

"A city panel that decides reappointments had notified Roy Pearson during the controversial lost trousers trial that Roy Pearson's status was under review.",
"A source on A city panel that decides reappointments said at the time that any judge must meet certain standards of conduct \"on and off the bench.\"",
"The source, who was among the members of A city panel that decides reappointments at the time of Roy Pearson's review, said \"a judge is a judge 24/7; whether or not they use good judgment in all aspects of their lives is what we can consider.\"",
"The civil case, in which Roy Pearson represented himself, sought punitive and compensatory damages against a small family-owned dry cleaners that once posted signs promising \"satisfaction guaranteed.\"",
"A pair of trousers that hung by the witness stand was a featured part of the trial last summer.",

"LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --",
"Heidi Newfield goes into Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards with five nominations.",
"It's more than any other female, but Heidi Newfield still considers Heidi Newfield the dark horse -- and in many ways, Heidi Newfield is, especially since Heidi Newfield's up for top female vocalist against such heavyweights as Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.",
"Heidi Newfield says Heidi Newfield considers Heidi Newfield an underdog at Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards.",
"For 10 years, Heidi Newfield was the lead singer of the honky-tonk trio Trick Pony.",
"Heidi Newfield's soulful debut solo album, \"What Am I Waiting for,\" was released in August to stellar reviews -- many from critics who scoffed at the high-energy antics of Heidi Newfield's former band.",
"If you spend any time with Heidi Newfield, you're struck by how many times Heidi Newfield says, \"Please\" and \"Thank you.\"",
"There's a smile for everyone -- waiters, doormen, cameramen -- and Heidi Newfield steers conversation away from Heidi Newfield to ask how others are doing.",
"Heidi Newfield is a nice girl.",
"But Heidi Newfield's life changed when a fellow musician told Heidi Newfield to stop being so nice, as Heidi Newfield revealed in the following interview with CNN:",
"Watch Heidi Newfield talk about Heidi Newfield's nominations » .",
"CNN:",
"What went through your head when you received five nominations for this year's Academy of Country Music Awards?",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"I thought one or two would be so fabulous, that would be so great.",
"And they kept calling my name, and you know, I won't lie -- I'm going to tell on my husband -- the tears started flowing, and we were just really happy.",
"All the hard work, all the time, and all the road -- and just the experience over time starts to play back in your mind, just like a movie.",
"This is a really special time.",
"CNN:",
"Was it validation that leaving Trick Pony was the right thing to do?",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"People tell you, \"You can't do this.\"",
"You know in country music oftentimes it does not work when a front person leaves a group.",
"In other genres -- pop, rock, hip-hop and rap -- people can leave all the time and do amazing things on people's own.",
"Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Sting -- there's a gazillion people.",
"But in country, we have that tight-knit, almost family relationship with our fans, so when you change something up, they don't always like that very much.",
"CNN:",
"Did you feel guilty about leaving Trick Pony?",
"Heidi Newfield: No, not an ounce of guilt.",
"I left Trick Pony with my head held high.",
"I felt like I left with total dignity and class, and I didn't leave anybody hanging.",
"I fulfilled every obligation, no matter how hard it was -- and it was hard.",
"There was a lot of drama, and they weren't exactly happy with Heidi Newfield.",
"I don't mind saying this, but it was miserable the last several months.",
"But my intuition was saying it's time to make a change.",
"So did I stay too long?",
"I don't know.",
"I mean, everything happens for a reason.",
"Had I left three years ago, maybe I wouldn't have been the same person I am today.",
"CNN:",
"John Popper from Blues Traveler kind of gave you a kick in the pants.",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"Oh, I love Poppy!",
"We talk all the time, I kid you not.",
"John Popper was on a USO tour with us for 2½ weeks, so we got to know each other really well.",
"Every night, John Popper would come on stage and do a [harmonica] number with Heidi Newfield.",
"On the last night of a USO tour, we were in Germany, and we were at this pub, and Poppy said to Heidi Newfield, \"You love this, and it's clear you're a musician -- but you need to learn to stop being so nice.",
"You need to speak your mind and step up and step up for Heidi Newfield.\"",
"John Popper's actual words were, \"When you learn to be a b----,\" that's what John Popper told me.",
"And I thought, \"Well, my philosophy is I don't think you ever, ever, ever have to be a diva or a prima donna to make it to a certain level.\"",
"I think you can always treat people with respect and be nice, and I always plan on doing that.",
"But what John Popper said was right.",
"When you start to believe in yourself, that's when there's no limit to what you can do.",
"CNN:",
"Your debut solo album, \"What Am I Waiting for,\" shows a lot of growth.",
"It's much more introspective and mature, whereas Trick Pony's music was brash and not as multidimensional.",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"When my producer Tony Brown and I first sat down to talk about making this album, one of the first things that came out of my producer Tony Brown's mouth was, \"We have to show people who you really are.",
"We need to cut songs, and you need to explore parts of your vocals that you never got a change to showcase.\"",
"All the ACM nominations are validation that we are on the path to doing just that and being taken seriously as an artist -- as a singer, as a songwriter and as a musician.",
"We made a record that made people say, \"Hey, this girl can sing.\"",
"And that's what I had always hoped.",
"CNN:",
"Still, it's a building process, and in a lot of ways, you're starting from scratch.",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"At this one fair that I went to, they had my name spelled H-e-d-y instead of H-e-i-d-i.",
"Hedy Newfield.",
"And I thought, \"Oh, that's just great.\"",
"And, of course, you go up to the promoter and say, \"Come on, hook a sister up here.\"",
"So we're fixing that.",
"CNN:",
"Of the five awards you're up for at the ACMs, you have to be most thrilled about top female vocalist.",
"[Heidi Newfield is up against Underwood, Swift, Lee Ann Womack and Miranda Lambert.)",
"Heidi Newfield:",
"I'm the biggest dark horse ever.",
"I'm the big underdog, but I like to be the underdog.",
"I hope the makeup's rockin'.",
"I hope I look good at that moment when they call out, \"Underwood.\""

"Mexico City, Mexico (CNN) --",
"On a visit to the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Felipe Calderon apologized to the families of 15 people killed in a massacre last month and promised residents that residents's input would form part of the strategy against drug-related violence.",
"After meeting with the families, Felipe Calderon and local political and civic leaders presented a variety of ideas, critiques and proposals on how to stabilize a city that saw more than 2,500 killings last year and more than 230 so far this year.",
"the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico is one of the front lines in Felipe Calderon's offensive against the country's major drug trafficking organizations.",
"The violence in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico is a result of a bloody turf war between the Juarez drug cartel and the Sinaloa cartel over lucrative smuggling routes into the United States.",
"Many of the killings are between rival gangs, something that Felipe Calderon's government hinted at in the aftermath of the January 31 massacre of a group of young partygoers that shocked the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.",
"In this case, it turned out that mistaken identity was behind the incident and that the youths killed were innocent.",
"On Thursday, Felipe Calderon apologized and gave Felipe Calderon's condolences to the victims' families for suggesting that their children were somehow involved.",
"Felipe Calderon also responded to criticism that the security strategy in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico was being imposed by politicians from afar with little understanding of their city.",
"\"I come mostly to listen,\" Felipe Calderon said, adding \"we're looking for solutions from the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico because you are the ones living it.\"",
"Representatives of different sectors of the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's civil society -- security, human rights, religious -- took turns giving their proposals in front of Felipe Calderon and a tense crowd.",
"Many speakers were interrupted by heckling or criticisms from a tense crowd.",

"Felipe Calderon said Felipe Calderon will not tolerate military abuses and challenged Galarza to present evidence of the abuses she cited.",
"the military, at least for now, is not going anywhere, Felipe Calderon made clear.",

"And fast.",
"The capital's airport, Haiti's roads and Haiti's ports were devastated by last week's earthquake, leaving Haiti's crumpled infrastructure the chief obstacle to fresh supplies as well as food and water.",
"\"The significant limiting factor in terms of our ability to move forward is a reality of the infrastructure in Haiti,\" U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters Tuesday.",
"\"But to the credit of the United States military, we started the operation (at Port-au-Prince's airport) with maybe 20 or so flights a day.",

"The goal, Crowley said, is to double that number.",
"Opening a second runway would help, Crowley said.",
"So, too, would lighting at the airport.",

"\"Last night, we couldn't see to land the plane that was supposed to land,\" said Renzo Fricke, the chief of Haiti operations for the aid organization Doctors Without Borders.",
"\"The night before we were supposed to receive two planes that couldn't land.",
"The night before it was the same.",
"That's our fourth plane that's not able to land.\"",
"Renzo Fricke, the chief of Haiti operations for the aid organization Doctors Without Borders told CNN's Christiane Amanpour Tuesday that although the aid organization Doctors was \"facing huge problems\" in receiving supplies, the work went on.",
"\"This morning we had to buy a saw in the market, in the city ... for our surgeons to do amputations,\" Renzo Fricke, the chief of Haiti operations for the aid organization Doctors Without Borders said.",
"\"We had to buy a saw because our materials -- the medical equipment is not coming as the medical equipment should arrive.\"",
"Renzo Fricke, the chief of Haiti operations for the aid organization Doctors Without Borders said that some equipment and other materials are coming into Haiti by road from the Dominican Republic, a route that Crowley cited as one of several that are slowly being opened to channel aid.",
"The airport, the ports, U.S. Navy ships with helicopters and a U.S. Marine unit are all important to getting vital supplies into the country, Crowley said.",
"High-resolution images of damage .",
"Maj. Gen. Dan Allyn, the U.S. commander of the Haiti task force, told reporters that Haiti should see some \"initial operating capacity\" at its ports by the end of the week -- including the capability of bringing in fuel needed to take trucks into more remote areas.",
"Additionally, he said that officials were looking into the possibility of opening an airstrip at the city of Jacmel \"to relieve some of the immediate pressure on Port-au-Prince airfield.\"",
"Cassandra Nelson, spokeswoman for Mercy Corps, which has a long-standing program in Haiti, said that aid is clearly increasing daily, but much more needs to be done.",
"\"Operations here have been an incredible challenge, and Mercy Corps has done emergency response for years and years and is very seasoned,\" she said.",
"\"[But] we have to say this is probably one of the hardest ones we've had.",

"As many of you already know -- because Tweets travel faster than airplanes -- Kevin Smith's, the portly film director of the movie \"Clerks\" and the upcoming film \"Cop Out,\" was \"politely\" asked to disembark from Kevin Smith's's Southwest flight from Oakland to Burbank because Kevin Smith's was too large to fit in the seat.",
"Okay, let's be frank: Kevin Smith's was kicked off the flight.",
"The reason Kevin Smith's was given was that Kevin Smith's's size infringed upon the space of the person sitting next to Kevin Smith's and his size could cause a safety risk in case of an emergency.",
"Does it surprise you that an airline that has charged a customer several hundred dollars for the service of transporting him from one place to another would subject said paying customer to the indignity of being told he's too fat to fly?",
"I don't think it does.",
"Because this is what flying has become: barely one rung above bus travel.",
"Southwest may have apologized to Kevin Smith's, but what about the rest of us?",
"Scratch the surface of any frequent flier and you will find a raging cauldron of resentment (or endless angry tweets, like Smiths), a bottomless pit of despair and rage with no hope of satisfaction because, after all, fliers have no choice but to accept every humiliation if fliers want to fly.",
"Most of us don't have our own planes -- or fly business class.",
"Myself, I'm old enough to remember when flying used to be fun -- but not quite old enough to remember when people used to \"dress\" to fly.",
"But people did.",
"It was an event to go on an airplane.",
"Like going to a Broadway show.",
"Pretty ladies with hats and smiling men in uniforms would bring you snacks, blankets and pillows.",
"Beverages in real glasses.",
"But at some point, the airlines started to lose money, started charging more and giving you less in return.",
"The tragedy of 9/11 hastened the end of any kind of special treatment.",
"Boarding became a cattle call -- complete with prodding with a stick -- where you had to basically undress before you could get on the plane, take off shoes, coats, sweaters, get \"wanded,\" step out of the line for frisking, and other debasements too horrible to mention.",
"Soon they will be swabbing your hands for explosives.",
"Really!",
"I know one woman whose underwire bra had security stumped.",
"(I have to check a bag just for the hair products for my frizzy hair; they don't come in less than three ounces.)",
"By the time you get on the plane, you are like a refugee -- the tired, the poor, the huddled masses in middle seats.",
"Flight attendants can't dote on you any more, Flight attendants are too busy scanning the group for potential terrorists.",
"No more meals -- bad as they were -- no more cutlery.",
"If you're lucky, something called a \"snack mix\" in a bag is thrown at you, making you beg for more water.",
"And less and less room.",
"If you drop something on the floor, you can't reach something without putting your face in the lap of the person sitting next to you.",
"It makes you long for the fat days (you'll pardon the expression) of People Express, that 1980's no-frills airline that operated out of Newark.",
"It seemed pretty terrible back then, but really it was just a preview -- every man for himself.",
"Basically anything you got during the flight, you paid extra for.",
"When they did the safety announcement at the beginning, I would wait for the day they'd say, \"In case of an emergency, please pay two dollars and fifty cents to have an oxygen mask drop above your seat.\"",
"(Ha ha ha, right?",
"Don't give them any ideas.)",
"But you flew with them, because they were so cheap.",
"Now I'm wondering if that's a good enough reason anymore.",
"How much can a body take, even a skinny one like mine?",
"Kevin Smith's, I feel your pain!",
"I cringe for the person who has to sheepishly ask for the seat belt extender because the one in the narrow little seat doesn't make the seat belt extender around his body.",
"The world is not built for fat people, and airplanes are not the place to look for gentle treatment.",
"I will not be surprised when airlines start to weigh people's luggage at the ticket counter, and then ask the traveler to get on the scale and be charged by the pound.",
"It's coming, you watch.",
"Or airlines will have bench seats on the airplanes, measure people as they board, and seat people accordingly.",
"If a fat person has to pay extra to fly -- Kevin Smith's usually buys two seats on Southwest because they don't have first class -- then this could be a precedent for more suffering in the world away from the tarmac.",
"A fat person will have to pay extra for a larger size in clothing.",
"Or pay more for an all-you-can-eat buffet.",

"While most attention will focus on President Obama for pulling off a Herculean task that eluded many of our great presidents, Speaker Nancy Pelosi emerges from this battle as the real powerhouse in Washington.",

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi has delivered on almost all of the legislation that the White House sent to Congress, even as Speaker Nancy Pelosi's colleagues found her colleagues frustrated by a Senate that seemed incapable of governance.",
"At three critical points in the health care debate, Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered.",
"First, Speaker Nancy Pelosi assembled a center-left coalition around health bill in November by pushing through a controversial amendment related to abortion that brought moderate Democrats on board with the legislation.",
"Second, when many Democrats, including top presidential advisers such as Rahm Emanuel, contemplated breaking up health bill after the Massachusetts election, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood firm and defended holistic reform.",

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi has implored Speaker Nancy Pelosi's colleagues to act with confidence rather than out of fear.",
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi's goal has always been to find ways to keep Democrats together rather than bringing Republicans on board.",
"In an era where partisan polarization makes true bipartisanship impossible, this is the most effective and realistic approach for Democrats.",
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi's philosophy echoes the beliefs of another powerful leader who said: \"Show me a nation without partisanship, and I'll show you a tyranny.",
"For all its faults, it is partisanship, based on core principles, that clarifies our debates, that prevents one party from straying too far from the mainstream and that constantly refreshes our politics with new ideas and new leaders.\"",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Thursday that a \"new information curtain is descending across much of the world.\"",
"In a speech on Internet freedom and security, Hillary Clinton also urged China to investigate a wave of cyber attacks against Google and other companies.",
"The Internet and other technologies are critical to foreign policy, and those who engage in cyber attacks should face international condemnation, Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all,\" Hillary Clinton said at The Newseum in Washington.",
"Hillary Clinton made the comments as Google threatened to shut down Google's operations in China, five years after agreeing to allow some censorship in exchange for the right to work in China's massive emerging technology market.",
"Google charges that Chinese hackers have targeted Google and up to 34 other companies.",
"The Chinese government argues that the Google case is a business dispute and should not affect overall relations between the two countries.",
"Hillary Clinton has said that Google's allegations of censorship and online attacks by China raise \"very serious concerns,\" and Hillary Clinton's agency has said her agency will file a formal protest over the company's complaints.",
"Also this month, foreign correspondents in at least two Chinese bureaus of news organizations had foreign correspondents in at least two Chinese bureaus of news organizations's Google e-mail accounts attacked, with e-mails forwarded to a mysterious address, according to the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China.",
"Hillary Clinton warned that the latest information technology -- designed to open access to governments -- can also be used by some governments to \"crush dissent and deny human rights.\"",
"\"In the last year, we've seen a spike in threats to the free flow of information.",
"China, Tunisia and Uzbekistan have stepped up China, Tunisia and Uzbekistan's censorship of the Internet,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"In Vietnam, access to popular social networking sites has suddenly disappeared.",
"And last Friday in Egypt, 30 bloggers and activists were detained.\"",
"A member of that group, having since been freed, was in the audience, Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"So while it is clear that the spread of these technologies is transforming our world, it is still unclear how that transformation will affect the human rights and welfare of much of the world's population,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"The same networks that help organize movements for freedom also enable al Qaeda to spew hatred and incite violence against the innocent,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"Some governments also have \"co-opted\" the Internet to silence \"people of faith,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"Last year in Saudi Arabia, a man spent months in prison for blogging about Christianity,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"Countries such as Vietnam and China have used similar tactics to \"restrict access to religious information.\"",
"The State Department will convene a high-level meeting next month of firms that provide network services for talks on Internet freedom, Hillary Clinton said.",
"Citizens and businesses must be able to rely on the security of information networks, Hillary Clinton said.",
"\"Our ability to bank online, use electronic commerce and safeguard billions of dollars in intellectual property are all at stake if we cannot rely on the security of information networks,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"Referring to social and economic development, Hillary Clinton said the Internet can serve as a \"great equalizer.\"",
"By providing people with access to knowledge and potential markets, networks can create opportunity where none exist.",
"\"Over the last year, I've seen this first hand in Kenya, where farmers have seen farmers's income grow by as much as 30 percent since farmers started using mobile banking technology,\" Hillary Clinton said.",
"Information technology has been a great help in addressing the staggering problems in Haiti, Hillary Clinton said, pointing to a young girl and two women who were pulled from the rubble after they sent a text message for help.",
"The text message campaign to raise money for Haiti has raised more than $25 million for recovery efforts, Hillary Clinton said.",
"Each texter was asked to donate $10, and the State Department said Wednesday that it is believed to be the largest amount raised for the country through a mobile phone campaign.",
"CNN's Jill Dougherty and Doug Gross contributed to this report."

"Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN) --",
"For all the buzz about \"tablet computers\" in recent weeks, one fundamental question about this supposedly break-through computer category remains unanswered: . What exactly is a tablet?",
"Computer industry representatives here at the massive and hype-heavy Consumer Electronics Show can't seem to agree.",
"Some say a computer just needs a touch-sensitive screen to be a tablet.",
"Others say a person should be able to write on it with a pen.",
"Still others say it's screen size that's important -- tablets must fit somewhere between phones and laptops.",
"For Philip McKinney, vice president and chief technology officer at Hewlett-Packard, it's partly the keyboard -- a tablet should have one of those.",
"Break off the keyboard, leaving only a touch-screen device, Philip McKinney, vice president and chief technology officer at Hewlett-Packard said, and the gadget falls into another buzz-worthy category: the slate.",
"Others say the terms slate and tablet are synonymous.",
"So what's a confused consumer to do?",
"And how can anyone judge the many products here that claim to be from tabletland when there's no consensus on what one is?",
"Simple.",
"Just get over the name, said Steve Baker, vice-president of industry analysis at the NDP Group, a market research firm.",
"Computer makers are introducing a shotgun spray of newish -- or at least newly named -- products in hopes that one will be a big recession-era hit with consumers, Steve Baker, vice-president of industry analysis at the NDP Group, a market research firm said.",
"None of these new devices, which Steve Baker, vice-president of industry analysis at the NDP Group, a market research firm said are characterized only by their medium size, fix any obvious problem consumers have with consumers's current computers, Steve Baker, vice-president of industry analysis at the NDP Group, a market research firm said.",
"Companies are releasing these new products without knowing exactly why consumers would want to use them, Steve Baker, vice-president of industry analysis at the NDP Group, a market research firm said.",
"\"That's the problem, but the exciting part of it is that we really don't know what the right product is for people -- what people want to do with this.\"",
"Hot products .",
"The tablet buzz at CES is somewhat overshadowed by a tablet that Apple is rumored to announce later this month.",
"Still, the array of tablet-esque devices here is getting tons of attention from show attendees.",
"The two most talked-about tablets at CES are Lenovo's IdeaPad U1, which the company refers to not as a tablet but as a \"hybrid-notebook;\" and a yet-to-be named and largely unseen \"slate\" tablet from HP.",
"Lenovo's device looks like a smallish laptop on first glance.",
"But the screen on Lenovo's device pops off of a plastic shell and can be carried around separately from Lenovo's device's keyboard.",
"That's the tablet part of the hybrid.",
"When separated from its keyboard home, the slender touch-screen tablet -- which looks like a stretched-out iPhone -- is well suited for watching movies, browsing photos and reading books, said Michael Littler, who markets Lenovo's device.",
"The touch-sensitive screen, made possible by Microsoft's Windows 7, lets users spin photos and scroll through text with users's fingers, which might seem more intuitive than a pushing a computer mouse.",
"Watch CES attendees get acquainted with Lenovo's device .",
"Lenovo's device will debut in six months and will cost less than $1,000, Michael Littler, who markets the device said.",
"Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer briefly trotted out HP's unnamed \"slate\" device during Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's opening keynote address at the show, stirring up lots of interest.",
"HP was thin and flat, without a keyboard, and with a touch-sensitive screen.",
"HP decided not to show off HP at CES, however.",
"McKinney, the company's CTO, said the HP slate has been in development for five years and will be sold to consumers sometime in 2010.",
"He would not discuss HP's price or provide further specifics.",
"Tablet origins .",
"Part of the tablet confusion comes from the fact that the term is not new.",
"In the 90s, Microsoft and others introduced tablet PCs with swivel-around screens and keyboards.",
"Consumers couldn't touch the screens with Consumers's fingers to control the tablets, but many had stylus pens that let people write on the screen.",
"While popular in niche markets, those older-generation tablets never took off like expected, said Lance Ulanoff, editor in chief of PC Magazine.",
"\"I think major companies are still a little hesitant to go all-in,\" Lance Ulanoff, editor in chief of PC Magazine said.",
"Why now?",
"The current resurgence of the tablet term -- and the mid-sized, touch-screen gadgets that go with it -- appears to have several precipitating factors.",
"First, said Ulanoff, is the popularity of the iPhone.",
"Apple's smartphone showed people how helpful touch-screen technology can be.",
"\"I think people got the idea that -- 'Well, what if [the iPhone] was bigger?\" he said.",
"Next is the recession.",
"Consumer electronics sales were down considerably in 2009.",
"That gives computer companies an incentive to try some potentially wacky ideas in an effort to differentiate computer companies from competitors, said Baker, the industry analyst.",
"Technological advances are also pushing the idea.",
"Windows 7, which Microsoft released last year, incorporates touch-screen technology, and many people consider to be a cornerstone of the tablet experience.",
"Also throw in a truckload of hype about Apple's rumored tablet.",
"Tech blogs have been drooling over the supposed announcement for months.",
"And, while tablet makers here say tablet makers here've been working on the technology for years, several admitted the Apple tablet buzz doesn't hurt their efforts.",
"People expect everything Apple makes to be sexy and popular.",
"And that could rub off on an entire category of devices.",
"What's in a name?",
"The flurry of newly named computer products, however, could have negative consequences for the tablet computer industry, said Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES.",
"the tablet computer industry is on the verge of confusing consumers so much that consumers won't know what products consumers do or don't want, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said.",
"Still, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES added, it's exciting to work in a time of experimentation.",
"Viliv is focusing on a number of mid-size computing devices -- from Viliv's $500 N5 \"clamshell\" device, which looks like a sunglasses case when it's closed and is small enough to fit in a coat pocket; to a $550 S10 tablet with a swivel touch-screen and a keyboard; and, finally, a soon-to-be-unveiled \"media slate,\" which has an 10-inch touch-screen and no keyboard.",
"The names are important from a marketing perspective, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said.",
"Viliv didn't call this media-consumption device's \"media slate\" a tablet because that name sounds expensive, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said.",
"Viliv didn't want to call this media-consumption device a plain old slate either, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said, because that sounded heavy, like slate rock, when the media slate is actually rather light.",
"Slate also sounds industrial, Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said, and Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES wants this media-consumption device to be fun",
"\"We tried to give this media-consumption device a little bit more of a casual, lighter feeling,\" Ken Lee, vice-president of sales and marketing at viliv, another tablet maker exhibiting at CES said.",
"Other companies have introduced mid-sized, pseudo-tablet products under a host of names -- smartbooks, mini-notes, touch-screen netbooks, dual-book e-readers that also surf the Web.",
"At its CES product office this week, Littler, from Lenovo, was commenting on this development when a woman abruptly joined the conversation.",
"\"I just call it a computer,\" a woman said."

"London, England (CNN) --",
"Europeans faced fresh winter misery Friday as plunging temperatures threw transport networks -- including the Channel Tunnel train service -- into chaos and dwindling cold weather resources raised concerns in a snow-blanketed Britain and other countries.",
"Eurostar, which operates trains between Britain and France, announced it was canceling up to 50 percent of services Friday as bad weather caused a repeat of problems that led to major disruptions and long lines of frustrated and angry travelers last month.",
"With satellite images showing the UK covered in snow from top to toe -- a rare modern event in a country that has experienced two decades of relatively mild winters -- authorities lacking snow plows and salt supplies were struggling to clear roads.",
"Britain's weather forecasting Met Office is warning of continued icy conditions, drifting snow, severe frosts and dangerous wind chill factors across the country over the coming weekend, blaming the recent cold snap on freezing northerly blasts from the Arctic.",
"It said icy conditions were expected to continue for the next two weeks.",
"Forecasters were warning of similar conditions in France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic and parts of Italy in the days ahead.",
"As temperatures plummeted to 30-year-lows of -22.3 Celsius (-8.1 Fahrenheit) in some parts of the UK, gas suppliers were reassuring users that there was no immediate likelihood that interruptions to fuel imposed on some businesses could spread to households.",
"The National Grid, which handles supplies of natural gas across Britain, reported that is was expecting to cope with all-time record demand levels Friday after similar peaks a day earlier that called on 454 million cubic meters of gas.",
"Despite the high demand -- and technical problems affecting gas flow from Norway -- National Grid spokeswoman Stephanie van Rosse said there was no danger of an interruption to supply.",
"\"We've got plenty coming in,\" Stephanie van Rosse told CNN.",
"\"It's just a matter of balancing it.\"",
"One of the companies whose gas was switched off was British Sugar, based in Peterborough, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of London.",
"A spokesman there told CNN they had simply switched to using oil until the gas comes back on.",
"\"It doesn't affect our production, so it's just business as usual,\" said the spokesman, who asked not to be named.",
"\"It's a bit of a non-story, really.",
"We just switch and it's no big problem.\"",
"Main airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton, were continuing to advise passengers to contact airlines before setting out as weather added to disruptions already caused by increased security in the wake of last month's failed U.S. plane bombing.",
"Cold weather, blamed for 22 deaths countrywide, also shut schools across Britain and led to warnings of hazardous roads as grit and salt supplies wore thin, prompting local authorities to impose rationing.",
"Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said Britain's only two suppliers of salt were operating at capacity as authorities' standard emergency provisions for six days of snowy weather ran dry.",
"\"The two salt producers are working flat-out, 24 hours-a-day, and we have ordered more salt supplies from abroad,\" he told the BBC.",
"\"But... we will face some difficult decisions about where we are going to prioritize gritting of roads in this exceptionally severe and prolonged cold weather.\"",

"West Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) --",
"It's more than two hours before snowboard practice begins, two hours before Robert Beck will take Robert Beck's first picture, and Robert Beck is trudging up the steep icy slope that is one lip of the halfpipe.",
"Temperatures are just above freezing on Cypress Mountain, and Beck, a Sports Illustrated photographer for 24 years, is steadily ambling up the hill to stake out his position near the top.",
"The climb is just 160 meters, but try doing The climb with a 50- or 60-pound pack on your back and a bad knee repaired just three weeks ago.",
"It's going to be worth it; Robert Beck knows precisely where Robert Beck needs to be to get the perfect picture when the overwhelming gold medal favorite Shaun White performs.",
"For the next nine hours Robert Beck won't leave Robert Beck's spot -- Robert Beck's not allowed to come back down until the competition is over -- so Robert Beck has a bag full of equipment and provisions.",
"Robert Beck carries three camera bodies, four lenses, several radios to remotely trigger cameras and a bunch of Cliff bars.",
"(McDonald's might sponsor these Games, but there's no Golden Arches on the hill).",
"See 19 of Robert Beck's amazing SI photos from the Winter Games .",
"Robert Beck knows where to be to get the shot Robert Beck wants because Beck and Robert Beck's assistant, Kohjiro \"Kojo\" Kinno have been photographing White for months, learning White's every move and tendency.",
"For instance, Robert Beck knows the best time to shoot a close-up of White is during White's first practice run because the snowboarder doesn't go as high then.",
"They went to three World Cup events and the X Games, shooting White and White's competitors in preparation for the Olympics.",
"Then once in Vancouver it was off to every practice to test out different angles to shoot.",
"\"Beck're trying to frame it just right,\" Robert Beck said on the drive from Robert Beck's hotel to the venue.",
"\"On their tricks, snowboarders are spinning so fast.",
"Sometimes you never see their faces.",
"You don't want to get pictures of rear ends or the bottom of the board.",
"Beck want to get their faces if Beck can.\"",
"Beck, who has more than 50 Sports Illustrated covers to Robert Beck's credit, is frustrated even before Robert Beck climbs the hill.",
"Kinno is an important part of the \"we\" Robert Beck talks about.",
"Kinno has been there for Robert Beck for nearly seven years, handing Robert Beck the right equipment, fixing things when they go wonky, running cards back to the work area and often being the voice of reason.",
"But that won't happen today because officials wouldn't give Kinno a photographer's armband.",
"Kinno's not even allowed to shoot pictures from a lower area of the venue.",
"It's almost like a pitcher without his catcher, though Kinno often is the one who shakes Robert Beck off.",
"And then there's the eye roll.",
"They have this way of disagreeing that only longtime friends can have.",
"There's often disagreement, Kinno says, but they always come to an understanding.",
"On this Wednesday at the halfpipe, Kinno will have to stay in front of a laptop all day, trying patiently to wait for runners to bring Kinno the cards from the cameras.",
"At least Kinno has company.",
"John Birk, photographer Al Tielemans' assistant, can't go with his photographer either.",
"Al Tielemans' will spot up on the other side of the pipe while photographer Bob Martin will be positioned at the bottom.",
"Just before setting off for the hill, Robert Beck gets a call from Steve Fine, SI's director of photography.",
"Steve Fine has a request for Robert Beck to get White at a certain angle.",
"Robert Beck's sure Robert Beck can't and tells Fine that Robert Beck has a great shot in mind, looking up the pipe as White soars into action.",
"Fine likes that but wants to have one with the crowd in the background.",
"Robert Beck and Kinno agree; it's not a clean shot from where Robert Beck will be, but they can try and see what Steve Fine says.",
"You'd think that Robert Beck can call the shots, so to speak, and send in Robert Beck's favorites from the 1,400 images Robert Beck will take this day, but that's not the way it works.",
"Robert Beck lets the photo editors pick the ones the photo editors want.",
"\"I don't suggest anything to those guys,\" Robert Beck said.",
"\"I can't control it.",
"I make the best pictures I can, send the best pictures, in and it's out of my hands.'",
"Robert Beck seems cool with that.",
"Robert Beck's much more concerned with getting a shot that is different from other photogs.",
"It's difficult -- well, almost impossible really -- to be inventive with this assignment, though.",
"There are going to be several other photographers in the same area, and dozens all over the pipe.",
"Robert Beck'll try to nail it the best Robert Beck can by using a different lens than others near Robert Beck (maybe a 35 mm while lying down in the snow) and also through the use of a camera on a 12-foot stick Robert Beck'll hold up.",
"There's one big issue, though, with White.",
"Robert Beck says when Robert Beck has used a remote-fired camera, Robert Beck's able to get other snowboarders in the frame perfectly, but White soars so high that much of the time Robert Beck's at the top of the frame, if Robert Beck's even in the picture.",
"Robert Beck's assignment is not solely White; it's just that the 23-year-old budding legend is such a prohibitive favorite it makes sense to Robert Beck that's Robert Beck's main target.",
"Robert Beck's shooting for the magazine, but Robert Beck also hopes the Web site can use Robert Beck's photos.",
"In fact, the Web is much more of a sure thing this time.",
"Sports Illustrated's deadlines aren't until the weekend, and the magazine won't arrive at subscribers' homes until a week after the event, so Robert Beck figures it's unlikely this gig has cover potential.",
"And with Lindsey Vonn such a compelling story, too, Robert Beck's not sure that Robert Beck'll even get one image in the magazine.",
"Celebration photos always play well, but only the photographers at the bottom will have White right in front of them.",
"Robert Beck halfway wishes Robert Beck could shoot those photos instead of Martin.",
"\"We're all basically competitive,\" Robert Beck says wistfully.",
"\"But you can't be both places.\"",
"SI.com: Photos of White's winning run .",
"White did the expected and easily won gold.",
"Back in the work area, Robert Beck says not everything went well.",
"Counting practice, each rider who made the final made nine runs.",
"Robert Beck says Robert Beck solved a problem with one of the remote cameras in time to shoot the first practice session, but at some point Robert Beck accidentally hit the focus.",
"\"Everything looked like Mr. Magoo [took them],\" Robert Beck said.",
"At least 75 percent of photography is problem solving, Robert Beck said.",
"(Two-and-half percent of photography is skill, Robert Beck joked).",
"It's knowing where to set up, knowing your equipment and knowing how to fix your equipment when your equipment breaks.",
"But while you're fixing things, you're missing pictures, and it's frustrating.",
"And then there's just plain bad luck.",
"Robert Beck says that during one practice run a TV cameraman ran in front of Robert Beck, snapping pictures on his phone.",
"But these are the things you deal with, Robert Beck says.",
"Robert Beck's a little down at dinner afterward because Robert Beck caught a glimpse of the some of the other photographers' pictures.",
"As Robert Beck had predicted, a bunch of shots with White, Robert Beck's face one big smile, holding the U.S. flag.",
"But later Robert Beck's mood changes when back at the hotel suite Robert Beck logs onto the SI.com Web site.",
"There is a picture, looking up the pipe of White, cast against a clear night sky, soaring through the air, on Robert Beck's way to a gold medal.",
"As for the magazine, Robert Beck'll be waiting, just like the rest of us ."

"In 1909, Alice Ramsey blazed a path across America's landscape and society.",
"Millions of women have followed in Alice Ramsey's tracks, few more precisely than Emily Anderson exactly 100 years later.",
"Emily Anderson was the lead driver in a re-enactment last summer of Alice Ramsey's journey, when she became the first woman to drive an automobile from coast to coast.",
"Both women drove a 1909 Anderson's Maxwell DA from New York to San Francisco, California, but Both women traversed two very different Americas.",
"\"It really was a tremendous effort by so many people to get Both women across the country,\" Emily Anderson, an event planner from Seattle, Washington, said.",
"\"It showed me the heart of America was open to Both women in a big way that I don't think would normally be so open had Both women been in a modern-day vehicle.\"",
"Antique car enthusiast Richard Anderson recruited Antique car enthusiast Richard Anderson's 34-year-old daughter to drive the 1909 Anderson's Maxwell DA he and two friends built from parts they scavenged from around the globe, and hand-fabricated when necessary.",
"\"It all came down to a lot of books and manuals and guessing and putting a puzzle back together again with no instructions,\" Emily Anderson said.",
"They got the car built and running in time to launch the drive on June 9 at 1930 Broadway, the address where Ramsey's journey began.",
"Several of Ramsey's descendants were on hand, including two who rode along for a few miles.",
"Emily Anderson's Maxwell soon suffered the first of many breakdowns.",
"\"That was a bit defeating, especially since it was our first day and we were pretty jazzed and motivated to get moving and get on the road,\" Emily Anderson said.",
"Temporary repairs carried the car and crew about 1,800 miles to western Nebraska, where a master mechanic worked for more than five hours to fix the problem in a more permanent way.",
"\"It was amazing to Emily Anderson that people would just stop people's lives and do whatever people could to keep Both women moving,\" Emily Anderson said.",
"By Emily Anderson's side was Christie Catania, Emily Anderson's close friend and co-pilot.",
"Christie Catania, her close friend and co-",
"pilot",
"described the co-pilot's job as \"navigation, waving, talking to people in the back seat; I was also the blinker, the mirrors, comic relief ...\"",
"Librarian-storyteller Sally Barnett rode in the back seat most of the way.",
"\"I love old cars, and I had read about Alice Ramsey years ago.",
"Alice Ramsey's one of my heroine-mentors,\" said Barnett, 67, of Huntsville, Alabama.",
"\"... My part was to dress up as Alice and tell Alice Ramsey's story.\"",
"Anderson's Maxwell's fourth seat was reserved for sponsors, dignitaries and special guests along the way, Emily Anderson said.",
"When Emily Anderson wasn't in the rear of Anderson's Maxwell, Librarian-storyteller Sally Barnett was riding in the back seat of other antique cars that fell into formation along the way, forming what enthusiast Leta Nichols of Orangevale, California, called \"a 3,000-mile parade.\"",
"High-speed collisions with flying insects were a hallmark of the trip.",
"\"You don't realize how valuable a windshield is until you ride in a car without a windshield, Librarian-storyteller Sally Barnett quipped.",
"\"the 2009 group were really acting as human windshields and bug-catchers,\" Emily Anderson recalled.",
"\"A couple times a day the 2009 group had a teeth-cleaning.\"",
"But at least the 2009 group had well-mapped, paved roads to travel on, part of the reason the 2009 group were able to cross the country in 30 days, half the time it took Ramsey, who followed the general path of what would become the Lincoln Highway.",
"\"the 2009 group traveled at a faster rate simply because the 2009 group could,\" Emily Anderson said.",
"\"Alice only had 152 miles of paved roadway in 1909, and those roads were primarily within the cities.",
"Otherwise it was all wagon trails, and that's some difficult terrain to cross.\"",
"The social terrain was equally difficult.",
"Alice Ramsey \"fit a category of woman in the early-20th century, late-19th century who was interested in quietly demonstrating that women were as capable as men in many of the things that had been considered manly pursuits,\" said Drake Hokanson, author of the book \"Lincoln Highway: Main Street Across America.\"",
"The first cross-country drive by a man, Horatio Nelson Jackson, had been accomplished just six years before Alice Ramsey set out.",
"\"I can only imagine that the world said, 'Here's Alice Ramsey.",
"Alice Ramsey can do this; why can't other women?'\" Hokanson said.",
"\"And, of course, a lot of women did hit the road.\"",
"Alice Ramsey overcame sexism, but Alice Ramsey didn't have to contend with huge tractor-trailers passing at 70 mph, kicking up debris and creating a gale-force draft around the open car.",
"\"I learned to turn my head when trucks go by so the sand wouldn't hit you too hard,\" Librarian-storyteller Sally Barnett recalled.",
"Anderson's Maxwell drove the final thousand miles with no first gear, which made crossing mountain ranges challenging.",
"\"Hopefully you have a long downhill before the uphill so you can kind of take a big run at it,\" she said.",
"\"And that's what the 2009 group would do, just kind of gun it and try to go as fast as the 2009 group could up the hill.\"",
"The expedition's triumphal moment was the crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco -- something Alice Ramsey couldn't have done in 1909 because the bridge wouldn't be built for another 28 years.",
"\"The toll booth operator came out with her iPhone to take our picture,\" Librarian-storyteller Sally Barnett said.",
"The entire journey was filmed by Emily Anderson's brother Bengt Anderson, a professional filmmaker in New York.",
"A documentary is slated for release in 2010.",
"The tour ended with champagne at a picturesque park.",
"\"I would just encourage everyone to slow down and take some of the back roads and enjoy the Lincoln Highway and all these different highways I didn't know existed until I was fortunate enough to be a part of this drive,\" Catania said.",
"\"Embrace the pace.",
"Half of the fun is the journey.\""

"Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN)",
"-- The headline on the front page of The Province newspaper says it all Monday: \"Lost Weekend.\"",
"For Canadians, who came into the Winter Olympics full of pride, the weekend was one that they want to forget but cannot.",
"The biggest loss came Sunday evening when Canada's hockey team, full of NHL all-stars, lost to the United States, a team known for its youth and Olympics inexperience.",
"\"O No Canada,\" read the headline in The Vancouver Sun.",
"On the sports page, The Province newspaper said, \"Woe Canada, U.S. sticks stake in our hearts.\"",
"The streets of Vancouver, a frenzy of activity on Friday and Saturday night, were far less crowded after the game ended about 7 p.m. local time Sunday.",
"Where many sidewalks were so crowded the previous two days that pedestrians were forced to walk in the road, tying up traffic in the downtown core, cars traveled easily Sunday.",
"It was a stark contrast to the prior Sunday, when fans spontaneously sang \"O Canada\" late into the night when many of them knew they had to work the next day and should be at home.",
"\"Last week, you could really feel it on the streets,\" said Steve Milton, a writer for the Hamilton Spectator and the author of 15 books on winter sports.",
"\"There was a real testosterone level in the air, and [Sunday] night, it was toxic.\"",
"After the game, one Canadian hockey player downplayed the pressure one Canadian hockey player's team might feel.",
"\"You're not trying to take 30 million people and put 30 million people on your shoulders,\" Corey Perry told the Montreal Gazette.",
"Still, most observers feel that if Canada doesn't medal in men's hockey, Canada's national winter sport, the Olympics will be a disaster.",
"Canada has mixed emotions after the loss to the U.S., Milton said.",
"In one sense, it doesn't look like men's hockey team will be the cavalry riding in over the hill at the last minute to save the Olympics.",
"But this was a preliminary round loss, and people have some hope this team can right this team in the next round.",
"people sense -- and demand -- a big change to the lineup.",
"Milton's e-mail inbox is filling at a much higher rate than normal, he said.",
"It's all about this team, and everyone is playing coach.",
"Most say it's time to change goalies, taking out veteran Martin Brodeur and putting in Roberto Luongo for Tuesday's play-in game against Germany.",
"\"It blunts this team's unhappiness when this team have someone to blame,\" Milton said.",
"\"It almost makes this team feel better to blame it on veteran Martin Brodeur.\"",
"The somber mood was made worse by the news that the 55-year-old mother of Canada's top figure skater, Joannie Rochette, died in Vancouver just a few days before she was her to see her daughter compete.",
"Rochette is still scheduled to take part in Tuesday's short program.",
"Although much of Canada will be watching the hockey game against Germany, viewers will also tune in to see how Rochette does.",
"Visiting the Olympics?",
"Send in an iReport .",
"Part of the country's embarrassment is over the Own the Podium program that Canadian officials trumpeted before the Olympics.",
"The government poured $117 million into it in the past five years.",
"Officials predicted huge success for the host nation, including topping the medal count.",
"But with one week left in the Olympics, the United States has a leading 24 medals, but Canada has only nine.",
"Writers are starting to call it Blown the Podium or Flown the Podium.",
"\"I think Canada'd be living in a fool's paradise to say Canada could catch the Americans and win,\" Chris Rudge, CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, said Monday morning.",
"\"Canada're not throwing in the towel.",
"You never do that in a fight.\"",
"Canadian officials say not to worry, things are going to improve.",
"\"It was the 'U.S. Week' last week.",

"The iconic spot on the western edge of Central Park will undergo major renovations under a new operator and may even retain its famous name, but to many patrons, this is indisputably the end of an era.",
"Claudia Myers and Wayne Knowles, a semi-retired couple visiting from Norfolk, Virginia, were saddened by the news and decided to treat Claudia Myers and Wayne Knowles, a semi-retired couple visiting from Norfolk, Virginia to one last Tavern dinner.",
"\"I came here years ago and had good memories,\" Knowles said.",
"\"It's the atmosphere and ambience\" Myers added.",
"\"Everyone knows what Tavern on the Green is and where is it\" -- here, Myers paused -- \"except one cab driver.",
"the Green's just a neat place.",
"the Green has history and the Green's in Central Park.\"",
"Ed Brown and Ed Brown's wife, Judy, also were in town for the holidays from Plantation, Florida, and were aware of the Green's plans.",
"\"It's my first and last time at eating at Tavern on the Green,\" Ed Brown said.",
"\"At least I can now say I ate there.\"",
"Rodney Shephard recently was making preparations for Rodney Shephard's last party, for 1,500 guests.",
"It's nothing the Green's maitre d' for the past 23 years couldn't handle, but Rodney Shephard wasn't looking forward to Rodney Shephard's last party on Rodney Shephard's last day of employment at the Green.",
"\"I never thought his last day of employment at the restaurant would come\" said Shephard, 52.",
"\"Not like this.",
"Not like the money-making machine that this place is.\"",
"the Green served the Green's first meal in 1936, when Mayor Fiorello La Guardia presided over the Green's opening as the city and the country were trying to dig out from the Great Depression.",
"the Green almost died in 1974 when the operator shuttered the \"rustic little money-losing pub,\" as New York Times food writer Eric Asimov later described it.",
"But Warner LeRoy immediately took over the Green's lease and invested $10 million.",
"Warner LeRoy added two rooms to the existing four and installed scores of copper and brass chandeliers, Tiffany-style stained glass, bull's-eye glass mirrors and ornate pastel-colored fixtures, and a 167-foot mural depicting Central Park.",
"After the Green's 1976 reopening, words like \"playful,\" \"dazzling\" and \"eclectic\" were used to describe the Green's ambience and the menu.",
"\"It was an over-the-top whimsical place,\" said longtime publicist Shelley Clark.",
"Warner LeRoy's father, Mervyn LeRoy, was the producer of the \"Wizard of Oz,\" A black-and-white photograph hanging in the Green shows Warner as a child with Judy Garland on the set of the movie.",
"Jennifer Oz LeRoy, in Jennifer Oz LeRoy recently published book \"Tavern on the Green 125 Recipes for Good Times,\" -- co-authored by Jennifer Oz LeRoy's mother, Kay -- described the vision of the restaurant that Jennifer Oz LeRoy's father wanted.",
"\"When her father walked into the courtyard of the run-down building, her father imagined something wholly original and incredible: her father would build a room in that space that would look like the inside of a wedding cake.\"",
"Jennifer Oz LeRoy recalled.",
"\"her father was a brilliant showman and a brilliant restaurateur.",
"her father was bigger than life.\"",
"said the Green's chief operating officer, Michael Desiderio.",
"\"her father thought dining is like a great show, and when the curtain goes up everything must be perfect.\"",
"Shephard, who started as a front desk manager, fondly recalled LeRoy and the sense of family that her father brought to the establishment: \"It's like a second home.",
"I consider the employees like your brothers and sisters, and now it's all going to be cut off.\"",
"the Green became the destination for anniversaries, birthdays and family affairs, the Green served more than 500,000 people a year, an average of 1,400 dinners a night.",
"Tourists eagerly descended upon the eatery for the crab cakes, wedge salad, salmon and parmesan-crusted chicken.",
"Food critics were not so thrilled.",
"Andrew Knowlton, restaurant editor for Bon Appetit magazine, said the Green has never been the greatest venue for foodies.",
"\"When you're serving 2,000 meals a deal, I don't care if you're [chef] Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud, you just can't put out that much of a volume and have top quality food.\"",
"The LeRoy family was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2009 after losing a bidding war for to another proprietor, Dean Poll, who also owns the Boathouse Restaurant in Central Park.",
"Once the Green closes, the Green's contents will be auctioned off by Guernsey's auction house.",
"As part of the 20-year license to operate the Green, Poll is expected to invest $25 million on renovations.",
"While maintaining the Victorian historic features of the building, Poll's plan is to incorporate green building technology as well as replacing the kitchen and electrical and plumbing systems.",
"The renovations, which are expected to take four years, will be conducted in phases so the Green can remain open.",
"Attorney Barry LePatner, who represents Poll, said the Green will become a popular destination for tourists and New Yorkers alike.",
"\"The new incarnation of Tavern on the Green will integrate modern respect with an iconic location and a sensibility that will warm to New Yorkers\" LePatner said.",
"\"We want more New Yorkers as well as tourists.\"",
"LePatner said that while the terms of the lease are still being negotiated with the city parks department and issues with labor unions are still unresolved, Poll's vision is to create a new era.",
"\"The game plan is to have one of the biggest creative moments in the history of the city, and bring Tavern on the Green back to the Green's original, enhanced luster.\"",
"One issue that is still left unresolved is the iconic name of the restaurant, which the current management estimates is valued at $19 million.",
"The LeRoy family claims it trademarked the name in 1981.",
"U.S. District Court Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum is expected to make a ruling in January.",
"In the meantime, LePatner said, the city has filed a trademark for \"Tavern in the Park\" but that Poll would like to retain the original name and that it should rest with the site.",
"Warner LeRoy, who was fond of flamboyant bashes, probably would approve of the Tavern's plan to say farewell on New Year's Eve.",
"Over the park, as fireworks light up the sky and as the last party-goers exit, they will gaze at the 750,000 tiny white light bulbs that envelop the restaurant and just hope the new owners remember to keep the lights on."

"I was sent to Fort Hood along with CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr and videographer Phil Littleton.",
"During our visit, we were in and out of several buildings.",
"One of them is now a crime scene, a killing ground in the heart of one of America's largest military installations.",
"Col. Ben Danner was our public affairs escort.",
"When I called Danner Thursday, Danner told me the shooting happened at the Soldier Readiness Center that we had visited during our trip.",
"The purpose of our visit was to learn how Fort Hood was helping soldiers cope with stress and mental health problems.",
"It was a high priority for the commanders there.",
"I grabbed the tape and disks with the video from our trip and cued up the video of the Soldier Readiness Center.",
"It was just as I remembered -- a low, brick building.",
"There was one main entrance.",
"A sergeant/nurse was directing traffic as people constantly moved in and out.",
"Once inside, the space was about the size of a basketball court.",
"And there were lines, lines of soldiers everywhere.",
"The lines to our right were about half a dozen soldiers deep.",
"Those folks were standing.",
"To the left, about 60 or so soldiers were waiting in another line.",
"about 60 or so soldiers got to sit in metal folding chairs.",
"But as another line moved, about 60 or so soldiers moved from chair to chair.",
"I don't think any of about 60 or so soldiers got to sit in the same chair more than 30 seconds.",
"The place looked like the Department of Motor Vehicles at lunchtime on the last Friday of the month.",
"Only everybody was in Army camouflage fatigues.",
"Beyond those lines were cubicles, each one with a least one line leading into it.",
"All these soldiers were getting paperwork stamped or signed.",
"Or All these soldiers were undergoing routine medical examinations.",
"One area was just for vaccinations.",
"Everyone got poked with a needle at least once.",
"Everything was done out in the open, with only cubicle walls to keep soldiers in one line from seeing what soldiers in the other line were going through.",
"I was able to wander around and watch, while Barbara talked to the top officers and Phil took video of all the goings on.",
"I remember the only place where someone could get privacy was way in the back, a few small offices with walls and a door that could be closed.",
"I was told that's where soldiers would be taken if a routine mental health exam indicated a more thorough one might be needed.",
"What I don't remember was a back door.",
"There may have been one.",
"I probably missed it.",
"But the only door I remember is the one where the sergeant/nurse was directing traffic.",
"And I've been thinking about the sergeant/nurse as the details of the shootings emerged.",
"the sergeant/nurse was a no-nonsense woman.",
"the sergeant/nurse'd greet everyone just as everyone walked in (first making sure everyone removed everyone's hats).",
"If everyone had the right paperwork, the sergeant/nurse sent everyone to the first of what would be many lines.",
"If everyone didn't have the right paperwork, the sergeant/nurse'd turn everyone around and send everyone out to get the right paperwork.",
"And when the soldiers had gone through all the lines, there was to be no loitering by that door.",
"the sergeant/nurse'd send the soldiers on the soldiers's way.",
"I don't remember the sergeant/nurse's exact rank.",
"But I know the sergeant/nurse was a nurse; I asked the sergeant/nurse because the sergeant/nurse reminded me of my sister who is a nurse and also skilled at \"running the show.\"",
"After we were done in June, I went to the sergeant/nurse and told the sergeant/nurse that while there were plenty of captains, majors and colonels around, I could tell this was the sergeant/nurse's facility.",
"I was grateful the sergeant/nurse let us take pictures inside there that day.",
"the sergeant/nurse gave me a quick smile and went right back to work.",
"As I write this, I worry about the sergeant/nurse.",
"Since I don't remember the sergeant/nurse's name, I may never know if the sergeant/nurse was there when the horror erupted.",
"If the sergeant/nurse was working, I'm sure the sergeant/nurse would have stopped the gunman, asking the gunman why the gunman was there.",
"If the gunman was holding two guns, the gunman may not have been able to remove the gunman's cap.",
"the sergeant/nurse may not have had enough time to say something.",
"I hope the sergeant/nurse did not become the gunman's first victim.",
"Maybe the sergeant/nurse's safe and sound, at home with the sergeant/nurse's loved ones.",
"But 43 others are not safe and sound.",
"And all over the country, people with friends and family Army are worried about people with friends and family Army's loved ones.",
"Was he or she in that building, stuck in line when the shooting began?"

"London, England (CNN) --",
"A British court has granted Tiger Woods an injunction prohibiting the publication of pictures of him taken or obtained in certain circumstances.",
"an injunction prohibiting the publication of pictures of him taken or obtained in certain circumstances prevents CNN saying what those circumstances are.",
"The High Court in London issued an injunction prohibiting the publication of pictures of him taken or obtained in certain circumstances Thursday afternoon, said the Schillings law firm, which is representing Tiger Woods.",
"\"For the avoidance of doubt, an injunction prohibiting the publication of pictures of him taken or obtained in certain circumstances is not to be taken as an admission that any such photographs exist,\" Schillings said in a letter sent to legal departments of British publications.",
"\"Tiger Woods is not aware of any images and in any event Tiger Woods would not have consented to any such photographs being taken, nor would Tiger Woods have consented to the dissemination or exploitation of the same.\"",
"The court document says anyone who violates an injunction prohibiting the publication of pictures of him taken or obtained in certain circumstances may be held in contempt of court and may be fined, imprisoned or have assets seized.",
"The 33-year-old golfer, who tops the sport's world rankings, has been mired in controversy since Tiger Woods crashed Tiger Woods's car outside Tiger Woods's Florida mansion last month.",
"The crash prompted authorities to cite Tiger Woods for careless driving and fine Tiger Woods $164.",
"Tiger Woods was not required to talk to police about the wreck and declined to speak with investigators on several occasions.",
"In the week after The crash, Tiger Woods apologized for \"transgressions\" that let Tiger Woods's family down.",
"On the same day, gossip magazine US Weekly published a report alleging that Tiger Woods had an affair with a 24-year-old cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs.",
"\"I have let his family down, and I regret \"transgressions\" that let his family down with all of my heart.",
"I have not been true to my values and the behavior his family deserves,\" Tiger Woods said in a December 3 statement on Tiger Woods's official Web site.",
"gossip magazine US Weekly's report followed a National Enquirer article before the crash that the athlete was having an affair with a New York nightclub hostess -- an assertion a New York nightclub hostess vigorously denied, according to The New York Post."

"(Entertainment Weekly) --",
"In the movies, \"the suburbs\" are never just a place.",
"They're a state of mind, a mythology we all know in our bones.",
"Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio share a happy moment in \"Revolutionary Road.\"",
"The myth goes something like this: The suburbs are comfortable, maybe even beautiful, but The suburbs's serenity is rooted in a friendly American conformity, so that the people who live there have to repress the people who live there's true selves, which will emerge when the people who live there drink too much and have affairs, or rage at each other for the people who live there's dishonesty, which was all caused in the first place by ... the suburbs.",
"The best thing about \"Revolutionary Road,\" a cool-blooded and disquieting adaptation of Richard Yates' 1961 novel about a powerfully unhappy Connecticut couple, is that it doesn't end with that rote vision of bourgeois anomie.",
"It only begins there.",
"Frank and April Wheeler (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) are about 30, with two kids, and both believe they can evade the traps of the existence they've chosen.",
"The year is 1955, and Frank has a New York job that bores Frank, marketing business machines.",
"Frank takes solace in feeling superior to Frank's work, and also in Frank's midday martinis and occasional dip into the secretarial pool.",
"April, meanwhile, wanted to be an actress, and still feels April's meant for higher things.",
"Watch DiCaprio and Winslet talk about DiCaprio and Winslet's reunion » .",
"Moved to reach for something more, April comes up with a plan: April and Frank will sell DiCaprio and Winslet's home and move to Paris, where April'll work as a government secretary and Frank will ... find Frank.",
"(It's like a '60s fantasy a decade ahead of time.)",
"\"Revolutionary Road\" was directed by Sam Mendes, who made the glibly scathing \"American Beauty,\" only here he wants us to share not just Frank and April's misery but the frail reveries that hold them together.",
"The escape-to-Paris idea is naive, impractical -- a pipe dream.",
"Yet The escape-to-Paris idea's fueled by something Mendes captures about the '50s, an era when people often had deep imaginative sparks that exceeded people's ability to voice them.",
"Kate Winslet has the tricky job of making us see the glimmer of wisdom in April's cockeyed plan, and Kate Winslet pulls it off, even as DiCaprio's Frank -- chipper, forthright, wholesome even in betrayal -- tugs the couple back to reality.",
"\"Revolutionary Road\" has deception, adultery, operatic shouting, the then-forbidden specter of abortion, and a few scenes that spotlight the remarkable performance of Michael Shannon as John Givings, a mathematician who's been hospitalized for insanity, and who proves how unfit for society he is by making every acid comment cut to the truths that no one else will speak.",
"The film is lavishly dark -- some might say too dark -- yet I'd suggest The film has a different limitation: For all The film's shattering domestic discord, there's something remote and aestheticized about The film.",
"April brings a private well of conflict to her middle-class prison, but Kate Winslet is so meticulous in Kate Winslet's telegraphed despair that Kate Winslet intrigues us, moves us, yet never quite touches our unguarded nerves.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Obama was talking about health care, but Obama could have just as easily been summing up Obama's entire first year when Obama made some blunt comments in a closed-door meeting with House Democrats last week.",
"Democratic sources who were in the room say Obama, pressed by liberals angry about the reform package getting watered down, decided to quote Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who said recently: \"What we're building here is not a mansion, it's a starter home.",
"It's a starter home, but it's got a great foundation for expanding health care coverage to 31 million Americans.\"",
"Obama's point was that Obama believes the health bill -- if it can pass (and that's in real doubt now) -- would be a dramatic step forward but is just the first draft.",
"Obama hopes to come back later in Obama's presidency to pass a second reform package that finishes the job.",
"The same goes for other big Obama promises like energy reform to deal with climate change and financial regulatory reform to clean up Wall Street -- \"mansions\" that have not been built yet, even though a strong \"foundation\" has been put down to meet these promises in the future.",
"But Republican Scott Brown's stunning victory in Massachusetts on Tuesday suggests Obama may not even get the first draft of health care reform through Congress, because of a huge split in his own party:",
"Angry liberals in the House are signaling Angry liberals in the House will not rush through what Angry liberals in the House consider to be the Senate's weak version of reform before Brown gets seated in the Senate, while skittish conservative Democrats in the Senate, like Ben Nelson of Nebraska, may no longer be on board with any kind of reform, out of a fear of becoming the next Martha Coakley.",
"The broader problem Obama has been facing, even before Massachusetts, is that securing a mere \"starter home\" on health care or any other major issue is a far cry from the sky-high expectations Obama set for Obama's supporters one year ago, when his supporters were shouting \"Yes We Can!\" after a campaign in which Obama laid out plans for dramatic change.",
"To be fair, Obama warned in Obama's inaugural address, one year ago Wednesday, that all of the nation's problems would not be solved so quickly.",
"\"They are serious, and they are many,\" Obama said then.",
"\"They will not be met easily or in a short span of time.\"",
"Nevertheless, most Americans skipped past that section of the speech, and focused instead on Obama's promise to end the bitter partisan divide in Washington on the way to shaking up the system.",
"That goodwill from the early days evaporated quickly, and Obama's approval ratings have dipped as disappointment has grown among the very independent voters who helped elect Obama in 2008.",
"That's why Obama very deliberately tried to recalibrate expectations at a Washington church this Sunday as Obama delivered remarks celebrating the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.",
"\"There was a hope shared by many that life would be better from the moment that I swore that oath,\" Obama said.",
"\"Of course, as we meet here today, one year later, we know the promise of that moment has not yet been fully fulfilled.",
"Because of an era of greed and irresponsibility that sowed the seeds of its own demise, because of persistent economic troubles unaddressed through the generations, because of a banking crisis that brought the financial system to the brink of catastrophe, we are being tested -- in our own lives and as a nation -- as few have been tested before.\"",
"Poll: 51 percent approve of Obama after first year .",
"Channeling the outrage that fueled Brown's upset victory in Massachusetts, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia said the reason for the disconnect is that Obama dropped the talk of unity too quickly and instead \"forged ahead with a narrow ideological agenda that has compromised Obama's ability to create sustainable jobs and thereby fix our nation's most pressing problems.\"",
"In an op-ed on the new conservative Web site Daily Caller, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia charged House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia's party has offered to work with Obama but he has \"paid our proposals mere lip service when the cameras are on, only to rebuff our ideas in their entirety once the meeting ends.",
"As a result, the history books may well look back on the beginning of the Obama presidency as the era of squandered opportunities.\"",
"White House press secretary Robert Gibbs insists Republicans have not made serious overtures to meet Obama halfway, perhaps hoping instead that Obama's struggles will help the GOP in the November midterm elections.",
"And White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says the real reason for Obama's problems stems from the fact that he made some tough decisions on unpopular -- but necessary -- government interventions to save the economy.",
"\"Ensuring that the banks didn't collapse was not a popular decision,\" White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.",
"\"Obama strongly believes it was the right one.",
"Ensuring that two domestic auto companies didn't go out of business -- not popular.",
"Again, Obama believed it was the right decision to make.\"",
"Obama also frequently reminds the public that in addition to inheriting that financial crisis, Obama was also handed two unpopular wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a continuing threat from al Qaeda, that have tested Obama's mettle as commander in chief.",
"All of that has weighed on Obama's approval rating, especially the difficult decision to send more than 50,000 additional U.S. troops to escalate the war in Afghanistan.",
"The terror incident on Christmas Day was a fresh reminder that national security is a wild card for any president.",
"As each day in office passes, it will become harder and harder for Obama to continue pointing the finger of blame at former President George W. Bush for all of the \"inherited\" problems.",
"And in a strange way, Tuesday's election loss could help Obama refocus Obama's agenda at the start of year two.",
"A top Democratic strategist close to White House said that it's a lot better for White House to take White House's lumps now and readjust priorities in the weeks ahead to avoid much larger losses in the midterm election -- rather than coasting along now and then getting hit with an awful surprise in November.",
"But will Obama and Obama's top aides dig in and refuse to move to the middle a bit?",
"Or will Obama and his top aides acknowledge that Massachusetts is a wake-up call, as Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh and other moderate Democrats have suggested, and make some adjustments?",
"Then-President Clinton was briefly humiliated by the 1994 midterm election debacle caused in large part by President Clinton's overreaching health care effort, but President Clinton quickly picked President Clinton up off the canvas and started focusing on bite-sized initiatives that won Republican support and positioned President Clinton for an easy re-election victory in 1996.",
"Ron Pollack, head of the liberal health group Families USA, is pushing Obama to finish off health reform quickly before Democrats lose Democrats's 60-vote supermajority in the Senate.",
"But Ron Pollack, head of the liberal health group Families USA also said Ron Pollack, head of the liberal health group Families USA thinks on some of the other big issues after health reform, like climate change and Wall Street regulatory reform, \"they will have to get some Republican\" lawmakers on board, and the new political reality may force some compromise on both sides.",
"But Ron Pollack, head of the liberal health group Families USA added that it's \"way premature\" to suggest the Massachusetts race will bring a major shift to the political climate.",
"Ron Pollack, head of the liberal health group Families USA's still confident that as the unemployment picture improves down the road, \"people will see the good in Obama's policies\" on health and other matters, and his standing will improve.",
"Of course, there's also the possibility the public mood continues to sour on the economy and Obama's other key initiatives like health care.",
"Brown seemed to be warning in Brown's victory speech Tuesday night that the anti-incumbent anger Obama rode into office could wind up blowing up in Brown's face in November.",
"\"What happened here in Massachusetts can happen all over America,\" Brown said to cheers.",
"In fact, when Brown talked about scrapping the health reform effort and starting over because \"we can do better,\" the Republican crowd started a chant that had to send a tiny shiver down the spine of even the most confident White House staffer.",
"\"Yes we can!\" Brown's supporters shouted.",
"\"Yes we can!\""

"\"To do so would take hours that we don't have to give right now.",
"Some of them feel wrong to tell.",

"The Livesays see The Livesays and The Livesays's efforts as \"a work in progress -- trying to make the love of Jesus known while learning to know Jesus better ourselves.\"",
"That work since Tuesday evening has been consumed by gathering and reporting information about the quake and accounting for missing missionaries and other people.",
"Troy Livesay's reports came in the form of tweets that alternated between raw descriptions and expressions of hope: . \"... covered in dust and debris ... we saw a few bodies that had been pulled out of the rubble laying dead in the sidewalk ...",
"many others injured\"",
"\"Church groups are singing throughout the city all through the night in prayer.",
"It is a beautiful sound in the middle of a horrible tragedy.\"",
"\"The worst damage is in Carrfour (South of Port, near the Palace) we are hearing that many two and three story buildings did not make it.\"",
"\"Tipap made it home from Carrefour - saw many dead bodies and injured along the way - said most buildings w/more than one story are down.\"",
"\"The Haitian people are out praying together -- aftershock happening right now.\"",
"Share your images and accounts .",
"On the blog, Tara Livesay's writing is both pained and eloquent: .",
"\"The few things we can confirm -- yes the four story Caribbean Market building is completely demolished,\" Tara Livesay posted.",
"\"Yes it was open.",
"Yes the National Palace collapsed.",
"Yes Gov't buildings nearby the the National Palace collapsed.",
"Yes St Josephs Boys home is completely collapsed.",
"Yes countless countless - countless other houses, churches, hospitals, schools, and businesses have collapsed.",
"There are buildings that suffered almost no damage.",
"Right next door will be a pile of rubble.",
"\"Thousands of people are currently trapped.",
"To guess at a number would be like guessing at raindrops in the ocean.",
"Precious lives hang in the balance.",
"When pulled from the rubble there is no place to take them for care Haiti has an almost non existent medical care system for her people.",
"\"I cannot imagine what the next few weeks and months will be like.",
"I am afraid for everyone.",
"Never in my life have I seen people stronger than Haitian people.",
"But I am afraid for people.",
"For us.",
"\"When the quake hit it took many seconds to even process what was happening.",
"The house was rocking back and forth in a way that I cannot even begin to describe.",
"It felt fake.",
"It felt like a movie.",
"Things were crashing all over The house.",
"It felt like the world was ending.",
"I do not know why The house stands and my children all lie sleeping in my children all's beds right now.",
"It defies logic and my babies were spared while thousands of others were not.",
"\"There are friends and co-workers that are missing. People whom no-one can account for.",
"People we work with and love.",
"There are more than I can name, but in particular we wait on one single friend who lived near the Hotel Montana -- which has reportedly collapsed.\"",
"She concludes the post with an appeal: . \"The horror has only just begun and I beg you to get on your knees -- I truly mean ON YOUR KNEES and pray for the people of this country.",

"London, England (CNN) --",
"The fashion world was Friday mourning the death of celebrated British designer McQueen as questions were raised over the future of McQueen's multi-million dollar luxury clothing brand.",
"A day after McQueen was found dead in McQueen's London home, the 40-year-old's flagship store in the city was closed, while flowers were laid in honor and a flag was flown at half mast over the shuttered doorway.",
"A manager at the Alexander McQueen store in New York, where similar memorial scenes of flowers and candles were reported, said the shop would also be closed in light of Alexander McQueen's.",
"McQueen's New York fans show support .",
"Emerging from a modest background as the son of an east London taxi driver to become a household name, McQueen's success has been hailed as a testament to McQueen's talent, but analysts say there are doubts McQueen's name will endure.",
"Design brands have previously outlived Design brands's founders, with notable examples being the success of Frenchman Yves Saint Laurent's empire despite Frenchman Yves Saint Laurent's's death in 2008, and the survival of Gianni Versace's label following his 1997 murder.",
"Industry insiders say McQueen's hands-on involvement in McQueen's business as the creative driving force behind McQueen's bold and eccentric output will be difficult to sustain without the designer at the helm.",
"Gucci Group, which acquired a 51 percent stake in McQueen in 2001, has yet to make a statement on the future of McQueen and McQueen's 11 stores worldwide which, according to the Financial Times, was not profitable until 2007.",
"The fashion house has not disclosed current figures for the brand which, the Times of London newspaper reported Gucci paid £13.6 million ($21.2 million) for Gucci's stake in.",
"Tim Gadoffre, CEO of luxury brand analyst Marival & Company, said McQueen's death represented a \"disaster\" for McQueen and said there would be substantial doubts over McQueen's ability to survive McQueen's visionary founder's death.",
"Says Tim Gadoffre, CEO of luxury brand analyst Marival & Company, despite huge celebrity success, McQueen had only just been consolidated as a going concern and the next decade would have been crucial in converting the designer's name into a long-term franchise.",
"\"It is too early to tell, but I'm not convinced it is possible to project the business any further without him,\" Tim Gadoffre, CEO of luxury brand analyst Marival & Company told CNN.",
"Nevertheless, retailers were reporting a sharp rise in sales of McQueen items in the immediate wake of McQueen's death.",
"A spokeswoman for the upscale Liberty of London department store told CNN the upscale Liberty of London department store had seen a 14-fold increase in McQueen brand sales, with top sellers including his signature skull print scarf and main line collection.",
"McQueen's death reportedly occurred on the eve of the funeral of McQueen's mother, Joyce, with whom McQueen was said to have a very close relationship .",
"Tributes have poured in for McQueen, with many in the fashion and film industry hailing the \"enfant terrible\" for McQueen's diverse clothing creations and for dressing stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman.",
"\"McQueen's brilliant imagination knew no bounds as McQueen conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs,\" said British Vogue Editor Alexandra Shulman, adding that McQueen's work \"influenced a whole generation of designers.\"",
"\"Alexander McQueen's's death is the hugest loss to anyone who knew McQueen and for very many who didn't,\" British Vogue Editor Alexandra Shulman said in a statement on the magazine's Web site.",
"\"We are deeply shocked and saddened at the news of McQueen's untimely death,\" said a statement on the London Fashion Week Web site.",
"\"McQueen was a unique talent and one of the world's greatest designers.",
"Our thoughts are with McQueen's friends and family at this sad time.\"",
"Although McQueen was not showing a collection at the London Fashion Week, McQueen was to unveil McQueen's ready-to-wear collection at the Paris fashion shows in March.",
"McQueen's 2010 spring/summer collection featured alien-inspired makeup and prints, according to Vogue, and \"was lauded as McQueen's best by the fashion press.\"",
"Dresses in that ready-to-wear line had exaggerated tiny waists and rounded hips, and models on the catwalk wore high club-like boots with them.",
"Model Naomi Campbell said Model Naomi Campbell was \"truly devastated\" by Alexander McQueen's's death.",
"\"McQueen's talent had no boundaries and McQueen was an inspiration to everyone who worked with McQueen and knew McQueen,\" Model Naomi Campbell said in a statement released by Model Naomi Campbell's publicist.",
"Designer Carolina Herrera called McQueen \"one of a -kind\" and said in a statement that McQueen was \"one of the most talented designers of McQueen's generation.",
"This is a big loss for the world.\"",
"McQueen was born as Lee Alexander McQueen in 1970 in London's East End, the son of a taxi driver.",
"McQueen left school with few qualifications, but later studied fashion at London's prestigious St. Martin's College and worked on the famous Savile Row street of tailors at a company that made suits for Prince Charles.",
"One anecdote that helped cement McQueen's bad-boy image claimed that McQueen had once embroidered a suit for the Prince of Wales with a profanity sewn into the lining.",
"McQueen's clothing line was purchased in 1991 by stylist Isabella Blow, who became a close friend.",
"She committed suicide in 2007, five years after McQueen's label was brought into the Gucci Group."

"College Park, Maryland (CNN) --",
"In Michael Pecht's hectic, noisy laboratory at the University of Maryland, Michael Pecht is wary when it comes to assessing whether Toyota's suggested repair of sticky gas pedals will have any real impact.",
"\"Toyota are in a bit of a quandary,\" said Pecht, a professor at Maryland's Clark School of Engineering.",
"\"If Toyota announce that electronics is a problem, Toyota are probably going to be in a lot of trouble, because nobody's going to drive the car.",
"So at this stage, Toyota don't want to announce there is any electronic problem.\"",
"But according to Pecht, who is an expert in failure analysis and has written a book on sudden acceleration in automobiles, complicated electronics -- not a mechanical issue with the gas pedal -- lie at the heart of Toyota's problems.",
"And three other independent safety analysts contacted by CNN also conclude that neither floor mats nor stuck gas pedals are an overwhelming issue.",
"\"From what people have told me about people's sudden acceleration incidents, most of them have have got nothing to do with the sticking pedal at all,\" said Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.",
"Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England said electronic throttle controls, which largely have replaced mechanical accelerators, can malfunction in ways Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England compared to an occasionally disobedient child.",
"\"We've all had that type of experience, and I'm afraid that is the sort of experience that can happen with any piece of electronics, with an electronic throttle,\" Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England said.",
"And Sean Kane, who runs a company called Safety Research Strategies in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, said, \"Toyota's explanations do not account for the share of unintended acceleration complaints that we have examined.\"",
"Toyota officials dispute any assertion that the complicated array of electronics in Toyota's cars has an impact on the acceleration issues that have dominated headlines in the past weeks.",
"\"After many years of exhaustive testing by Toyota and by other organizations, Toyota have found no evidence of an electronic problem in Toyota's electronic throttle control systems that could have led to unwanted acceleration,\" said John Hanson, Toyota's spokesman on quality-control issues.",
"But experts like Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England say the tests conducted by Toyota are not adequate.",
"\"the tests conducted by Toyota do not reproduce what actually happens in everyday life,\" Antony Anderson, an electronics consultant in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England said.",
"\"Toyota are testing for certain conditions, for certain standards, but Toyota test, for example, signals one at a time.",
"Toyota don't do a whole lot of signals altogether.",
"Whereas in a car, you've got a great cacophony of electromagnetic interference going on all the time, and you really can't rely on testing of a single frequency at one time.\"",
"As for the U.S. government's testing of Toyota's problems, the man in charge of the Center For Auto Safety, Clarence Ditlow, said that a 2007 test on a Lexus -- a Toyota brand -- by the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration to find possible electronic interference was amateurish.",
"\"the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration didn't do any real testing,\" he said.",
"\"For all I know, the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration just took a garage door opener, pointed a garage door opener at the engine compartment and snapped it, and that's electronic interference to see whether or not anything happened.",
"the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration closed the hood, and off the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration went.",
"No problem.\"",
"iReport: Prius owner stands by Prius owner's car .",
"Efforts to contact the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration in snow-bound Washington were unsuccessful.",
"But Toyota spokesman Hanson said, \"It's very easy to look from outside and say, 'There is no problem with the pedal.'",
"But this is the problem and we are fixing it.\"",
"Toyota spokesman Hanson said the company \"invited\" further testing and pointed out that the National Highway Safety and Traffic Administration officials announced a \"fresh look\" into the whole area of electromagnetic testing, not simply limited to Toyota."

"The Braintree, Massachusetts, police records show that police in 1986 believed they had probable cause to arrest Amy Bishop on some charges in Amy Bishop's brother's death.",
"However, no charges were filed in that case.",
"Amy Bishop is charged with capital murder and three counts of attempted murder in a Friday shooting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where Amy Bishop was a biology professor.",

"Authorities said Amy Bishop, also known as Amy Bishop Anderson, was attending a faculty meeting in a university building when Amy Bishop shot six colleagues.",

"On Tuesday, Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier told reporters that the department's records pertaining to the 1986 shooting were missing.",
"Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan announced Sunday a search for their records of the shooting had been started, which resulted in the find announced Tuesday.",

"the network host Leno is going back to late nights after a low-rated experiment in prime time, the network announced Sunday.",
"Leno's prime-time talk show, which debuted in September, \"didn't meet affiliates' needs,\" said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment.",
"The program will go off the air February 12, when the 2010 Winter Olympics begin.",
"the network is now negotiating with Leno and the network's current late-night hosts, O'Brien and Fallon, to decide who ends up with which time slot, Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment said.",
"O'Brien took over the network's flagship \"Tonight Show\" when Leno moved to the 10 p.m. slot in September.",
"Fallon took over O'Brien's former show, \"Late Night.\"",
"Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment said the plan now is for Leno to host a new, half-hour show at 11:35 p.m. ET, followed by \"Tonight\" with O'Brien at 12:05 a.m.",
"Fallon's show would move to the 1 a.m. hour, Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment said.",
"Do you think the network did the right thing?",
"The goal is to keep all three hosts, but nothing was a done deal as of Sunday, Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment said.",
"Reports of the shakeup first emerged last week.",
"Leno dismissed them on Leno's show on Thursday night, telling Leno's audience, \"It's always been my experience the network only cancels you when you're in first place.\"",
"Leno's move to prime time was a risk for the network, because it put a talk show up against scripted prime-time shows and ran it five days a week.",
"Network spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said last week that Leno performed \"exactly as we anticipated on the network.\"",
"But for the network's affiliates, Leno's low ratings were taking viewers -- and the resulting ad dollars -- away from their late local newscasts.",
"\"The 11 o'clock news hours were bleeding ratings,\" said Stuart Levine, an analyst for the entertainment trade paper Variety.",
"While the network appeared to be fine with Leno's numbers, the affiliates \"kind of revolted and said we have to have better ratings,\" Stuart Levine, an analyst for the entertainment trade paper Variety said.",
"Michael Fiorile, the chairman of the network's affiliate board, called the decision announced Sunday \"a great move for the affiliates, the network and, most importantly, the viewers.\"",
"\"the network admire their willingness to innovate, and their willingness to change course when it didn't work for the network,\" Fiorile said in a written statement.",
"For NBC, which had promised to give Leno a full year in the 10 p.m. time slot, \"It's certainly a little bit of egg on the face,\" Stuart Levine, an analyst for the entertainment trade paper Variety said.",
"Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman called the network's gamble on Leno \"the biggest fiasco in the history of television.\"",
"\"What they didn't realize was that the people who watched Leno in late night were not necessarily the same people who watched in prime time, so there was no reason to believe that Leno's audience would follow Leno to prime time,\" Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman said.",
"Meanwhile, the O'Brien-helmed \"Tonight\" lost about half its audience \"and actually really hurt late night, which is a big profit center for the network,\" Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman said.",
"Moving \"Tonight\" -- which has held its current slot for decades -- back a half-hour is likely to hurt the show, and Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman predicted that the network will be unable to keep all three hosts.",
"\"My guess is down the road, they will give back Leno the 'Tonight Show,' leave it on at 11:35 p.m., and Conan will move to Fox,\" he said.",
"\"But if I was either one of those gentlemen, I would be looking elsewhere right now.\"",

"Bush on Tuesday will designate nine sites in three areas of the central Pacific as marine national monuments, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Monday.",
"The new designated areas make up the largest area of ocean set aside for marine conservation in the world.",
"The new designated areas make up the largest area of ocean set aside for marine conservation in the world -- 195,280 square miles -- and, coupled with a 138,000-square mile designation in Hawaii two years go, mean that Bush will have protected more of the ocean than any other president.",
"\"Bush's actions will prevent the destruction and extraction of natural resources from these beautiful and biologically diverse areas without conflicting with our military's activities and freedom of navigation, which are vital to our national security,\" White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.",
"\"And the public and future generations will benefit from the science and knowledge gained from The new designated areas.\"",
"Bush is using the 1906 Antiquities Act -- first used by President Theodore Roosevelt to set aside public lands such as the Grand Canyon as national monuments -- for the designation.",
"Many of public lands such as the Grand Canyon later became national parks.",
"Bill Chandler, vice president for government affairs for the non-profit Marine Conservation Biology Institute (MCBI), said Bush is \"to be commended\" for Bush's action.",
"\"From a conservation history perspective, the message here is that President Theodore Roosevelt laid the groundwork for our national park system when President Theodore Roosevelt withdrew a lot of public lands and called them national monuments,\" said Chandler.",
"\"We see the president laying the foundation for a system of national marine preserves and parks,\" he said.",
"\"We had lacked such a system for a long time.\"",
"MCBI and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) partnered to identify eight of the nine sites the president will set aside on Tuesday.",
"All but one of those eight remote areas already have Fish and Wildlife Service refuge areas at those eight remote areas's cores.",
"\"You have a core conservation mission already,\" Chandler said.",
"\"This is just basically going to expand them.\"",
"The MCBI/EDF-identified sites are Rose Atoll, Wake Island, Johnston Island, Palmyra Island, Kingman Reef, Baker Island, Howland Island and Jarvis Island.",
"Rose Atoll, part of American Samoa, is the smallest atoll in the world, but more than 500 fish species swim in the waters around Rose Atoll, and Rose Atoll supports 97 percent of American Samoa's seabird population.",
"Rose Atoll is also the nesting ground for several threatened turtle species.",
"The Pew Environmental Fund identified the ninth site -- the waters around the northern Marianas and the deepest ocean canyon in the world, the Mariana Trench, 11,033 meters (36,201 feet) at its deepest.",
"The new designations will expand protection to a 50 nautical mile area off the islands, where commercial fishing will be prohibited.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"The father's first comment, when The father heard I was in The father's city to talk about a book I'd written about kids, mental health issues and medication, came loudly and fast: \"When my daughter was 10, my ex-wife and a psychiatrist called to try to get my permission to put my daughter on Prozac.",
"I refused,\" The father said proudly.",
"\"I wasn't going to let them drug my kid.\"",
"We spent quite a few hours together.",
"By nighttime, as The father drove me back from the last event, The father's mood was altered, The father's tone notably more somber",
"It had been a day of impassioned testimonials from parents of children with mental health issues, and even from one teenager, who called in to a radio show to describe how taking medication for his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder had helped him \"level the playing field\" with other kids and made it possible for him to attend college.",
"\"I don't know if we did the right thing by my daughter,\" The father said at last, thinking of The father's daughter as The father looked out at the dark road ahead.",
"The father's daughter's life had never really come together.",
"my daughter had dropped out of college; my daughter's future was unclear.",
"my daughter presented a happy face to my daughter's dad, but deep down, The father felt, the truth of my daughter's life wasn't so sunny.",
"\"I don't know how to read my daughter,\" The father said.",
"\"I really don't know what to do.\"",
"We all know what the prevailing opinion is these days on children's mental health in America: Kids with nothing truly wrong with them are being over-diagnosed and overmedicated by doctors, parents and schools, who are colluding to make them better behaved, more high-performing and more tractable to our society's unnaturally high demands.",
"This opinion used to be mine.",
"This opinion was the basic line of my argument at the beginning of my research, when the only information-gathering I'd done on the topic consisted of reading and compiling the already-recycled reporting of others.",
"But soon, the facts got in the way.",
"Surveys and statistics showed that the story of over-diagnosis and overmedication was wrong; 5 percent of children in America take psychotropic medication, while 5 to 20 percent are estimated to have mental health issues.",
"The vast majority of those in need of help never get any care at all.",
"The facts are incontrovertible: Kids' mental health issues are real, Kids' mental health issues're serious, and Kids' mental health issues often cause profound suffering.",
"And Kids' mental health issues're not new.",
"Listening to parents gave me a very concrete answer to the question so many skeptics ask as to where all the kids with \"issues\" were a generation ago.",
"We existed, many of the parents of kids who now are getting diagnosed told me.",
"And no one noticed that we were suffering.",
"And, they said, they weren't going to let the same not-noticing, or the same labeling with words like \"lazy\" or \"stupid\" or \"bad,\" happen to their kids today.",
"Interviews with about 100 parents and doctors showed that rather than rushing to pathologize and medicate their kids, parents did all parents could to avoid \"labeling\" parents's children and put off using medication -- if parents used it at all -- until parents really were desperate.",
"What Interviews with about 100 parents and doctors showed above all is that for parents and children (and grown children) dealing with mental health issues, life is complicated, unsure and filled with unanswered questions that can't be addressed by gross generalizations about the \"medicated child\" in our time.",
"It's very hard to get at any of that complexity -- and humanity -- when we typically talk about children's mental health in the media.",
"Journalism generally doesn't lend Journalism to complicated messages; we need eye-grabbing headlines and strong voices spouting easy-to-summarize arguments, opinions which, in the strangely evolving media world of today, have come to have far greater currency than fact.",
"In another city, a mother told me that a mother'd never attended college.",
"a mother would have liked to have gone, a mother said, but a mother earned almost all Cs in high school, and no one had ever presented it to a mother as a possibility.",
"\"I don't think I was dumb,\" a mother said, \"I just couldn't keep my mind focused on my work.\"",
"At 48, a mother wondered, was it too late to find out if a mother had the inattentive kind of ADHD?",
"a mother'd become a model after high school instead.",
"a mother'd married a lawyer; a mother lived in the kind of community where former high achievers made a second career of micromanaging former high achievers's children's lives.",
"a mother wanted to be an involved mother, too, but when a mother spoke at school meetings, the high-power moms made a mother feel invisible.",
"\"the high-power moms talk right over me,\" a mother said.",
"\"It's like I don't exist.\"",
"a mother's husband was out of work.",
"After so many decades, a mother's own lack of a college degree still burned as a cause of embarrassment, worry and resentment.",
"How could a mother's parents, a mother mused aloud, not have encouraged a mother to try to at least try to get into college?",
"It is very easy to look at a woman like this and say, who cares?",
"a mother turned out OK -- more than OK, after all.",
"But a mother's voice was full of pain as a mother talked about the feelings of inferiority that still haunted a mother.",
"Hadn't a mother had the right to at least try to live up to a mother's potential?",
"a mother was committed to making sure that a mother's daughter would have every possible option.",
"Behind the black-and-white shouting matches that now dominate discussions of children's mental health in our country, there are stories like these.",
"They aren't necessarily headline-making.",
"But they're powerful, and true.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Judith Warner."

"Judith Warner says common view is modern parents over-medicate kids for mental health .",
"But Judith Warner's research showed that most parents avoid meds, are sensitive to kids' suffering .",

"Maj. Gen. Robert Harding said Friday that, \"with deep regret,\" Robert Harding has withdrawn Robert Harding's name from nomination to lead TSA.",
"\"This was a great honor, and I felt that I could bring some leadership, vision and intelligence expertise to that position,\" Robert Harding said in a statement.",
"\"Ultimately, my goal was to improve the security of our nation's transportation systems.",
"However, I feel that the distractions caused by my work as a defense contractor would not be good for TSA nor for the Department of Homeland Security.\"",
"TSA is part of the Department of Homeland Security.",
"White House Spokesman Nicholas Shapiro noted that Robert Harding has more than 35 years of military and intelligence experience, and added, \"The President is disappointed in this outcome but remains confident in the solid team of professionals at TSA.\"",
"At a hearing on Wednesday, Robert Harding acknowledged \"making mistakes\" when a company Harding formed overbilled the government in 2004.",
"At issue is a contract that Robert Harding's company, Harding Security Associates, signed with the Defense Department in early 2004 to provide 40 interrogators and debriefers rapidly in Iraq.",
"Within four months of his firm starting work on the contract, Robert Harding said, the government decided to end the contract.",
"\"I then faced 40 individuals who were now without work,\" Robert Harding said, adding that some of 40 individuals who were now without work Robert Harding had lured away from other jobs, including the CIA.",
"Robert Harding said Robert Harding told Robert Harding's employees \"that I would take care of his employees, and that I would negotiate and work with the government to provide severance payments.\"",
"The total severance payments came to about $800,000, Robert Harding said.",
"\"When I went to claim it from the DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency],\" government auditors \"recognized that I did not have a policy on that, that I had not negotiated with the government for severance, I had not provided the government my plan for severance ... and therefore it was not allowed, that $800,000.\"",
"Robert Harding said that government auditors subsequently admitted \"there were mistakes on both sides.\"",
"The White House said it was \"disappointed\" at Robert Harding's withdrawal.",
"\"By nominating General Harding, the president tapped an individual with more than 35 years of military and intelligence experience who is dedicated to improving the security of our nation,\" Shapiro said.",
"Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine felt misled by a The White House explanation of the events.",
"The White House compared $2.4 million in disputed charges that included the $800,000 in severance payments to the $53 million potential value of the contract, instead of the $6 million value of the work.",
"\"Of the $6 million that TSA was paid, $2.4 million was [in] question.",
"That's a pretty high percentage.",
"The White House, in talking to me about this issue, compared it to $53 million, but that's not what was at stake here at all, and I thought The White House's comparison was pretty misleading,\" Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine said.",
"An independent investigation concluded that no fraud was involved.",
"Ultimately, TSA reached a settlement with the government, with TSA paying back $1.8 million of the disputed $2.4 million.",
"Robert Harding said Robert Harding learned from Robert Harding's mistake.",
"Robert Harding said his mistake caused Robert Harding to add an accounting operation and otherwise professionalize TSA, eventually increasing it in size from 60 people in 2004 to about 400 people when Robert Harding sold TSA last year.",
"Following the hearing, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine said that Robert Harding \"adequately addressed my concerns regarding\" the contracts.",
"\"Before making a final determination, however, I want to review additional information in order to ensure that all relevant data regarding the nominee have been thoroughly examined,\" she said.",
"Robert Harding was Obama's second nominee to head the agency.",
"Sen. James DeMint, R-South Carolina, put a hold on the first nominee, Erroll Southers, after Southers declined to say whether he supported unionization of screeners.",
"Southers eventually withdrew Southers's name from consideration after another controversy erupted involving a decades-old personnel matter."

"U.S. Supreme Court granted a temporary stay of execution late Wednesday for a condemned Texas inmate who is requesting DNA testing of evidence in Skinner's case.",
"The order was handed down less than an hour before Henry \"Hank\" Skinner, 47, was scheduled to be executed by injection for the New Year's Eve 1993 killings of Skinner's live-in girlfriend and Skinner's two sons.",
"U.S. Supreme Court granted the temporary stay while U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to take up Skinner's broader appeal.",
"It was not immediately clear when U.S. Supreme Court might consider his case, but there was no indication a decision would be made before Thursday.",
"Skinner's attorneys maintain that DNA testing of the evidence could establish Skinner's innocence and determine the real killer.",
"\"This action suggests that U.S. Supreme Court believes there are important issues that require closer examination,\" defense attorney Robert Owen said of the temporary stay.",
"\"We remain hopeful that U.S. Supreme Court will agree to hear Skinner's case and ultimately allow Skinner the chance to prove Skinner's innocence through DNA testing.\"",
"Skinner heard the news while Skinner was eating what was to be Skinner's last meal, according to Michelle Lyons, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.",
"Skinner expressed relief and surprise, saying, \"I had made up my mind I was going to die\" and \"I feel like I really won today,\" according to Michelle Lyons.",
"Skinner said Skinner is \"eager to get the DNA testing so I can prove my innocence and get the hell out of here,\" according to Michelle Lyons.",
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry has received more than 8,000 letters from Skinner's advocates urging a stay, according to the Innocence Project and Change.org, whose members and supporters have sent more than 8,000 letters through whose members and supporters's Web sites.",
"State Sen. Rodney Ellis and state Rep. Elliott Naishtat were among those who have called for a reprieve.",
"\"It has come to my attention that there are numerous problems with Skinner's case that raise serious questions regarding the fairness of Skinner's trial and whether or not Skinner is guilty,\" State Sen. Rodney Ellis wrote in a letter to Perry on Tuesday.",
"Word about his case has spread as far as France, where demonstrations were planned Wednesday at the U.S. Embassy in Paris by supporters of Skinner's French wife, Sandrine Ageorges.",
"Since Skinner's conviction in 1995, he \"has tirelessly pursued access to the untested physical evidence,\" according to court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February.",
"the untested physical evidence includes vaginal swabs and fingernail clippings from Skinner's then-girlfriend Twila Busby, hairs found in Skinner's hand and two knives found at the scene, along with a dish towel and a windbreaker jacket, according to the filing.",
"Skinner has never denied being in the home when Busby and Skinner's sons -- Elwin Caler, 22, and Randy Busby, 20, -- were killed.",
"However, Skinner maintains Skinner was incapacitated because of the \"extreme quantities of alcohol and codeine\" that Skinner had consumed earlier that evening, according to court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February.",
"Prosecutors maintain forensic evidence gathered at the scene and witness statements point to Skinner.",
"A female friend of Skinner's who lived four blocks away testified at Skinner's trial that Skinner walked to her trailer and told her that Skinner may have kicked Twila Busby to death, although evidence did not show Skinner had been kicked.",
"The neighbor has since recanted parts of her testimony.",
"Authorities followed a blood trail from the scene to the female friend's trailer and found Skinner in the closet, authorities said.",
"Skinner was \"wearing heavily blood-stained jeans and socks and bearing a gash on the palm of Skinner's right hand,\" according to the Texas attorney general's summary of the case.",
"In addition, authorities said cuts on Skinner's hand came from the knife used to stab the men.",
"Skinner said Skinner cut it on glass.",
"Some DNA testing was done, which implicated Skinner, but not on the items Skinner now wants tested.",
"\"DNA testing showed that blood on the shirt Skinner was wearing at the time of Skinner's arrest was Twila's blood, and blood on Skinner's jeans was a mixture of blood from Elwin and Twila,\" authorities said.",
"However, Owen wrote in court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February, \"the victims' injuries show that whoever murdered the victims' must have possessed considerable strength, balance and coordination.\"",
"Skinner was strangled so forcefully that Skinner's larynx and the hyoid bone in Skinner's throat were broken.",
"Skinner then was struck with an axe or pick handle 14 times, hard enough to drive fragments of Skinner \"unusually thick skull\" into Skinner's brain, court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February said.",
"\"While attacking Skinner, the perpetrator had to contend with the presence of Skinner's 6-foot-6-inch, 225-pound son, Elwin Caler, who blood spatter analysis showed was in the immediate vicinity of Skinner as Skinner was being beaten,\" court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February said.",
"\"Somehow, the murderer was able to change weapons and stab Caler several times before Caler could fend off the attack or flee.\"",
"Skinner was then stabbed to death in the bedroom the two brothers shared, court documents filed with the Supreme Court in February said.",
"Evidence presented at trial suggested that Skinner's uncle, Robert Donnell -- who is now dead -- could have been the killer.",
"At a New Year's Eve party Skinner attended for a short time on the last night of Skinner's life, Donnell stalked Skinner, making crude sexual remarks, according to trial testimony.",
"A friend who drove Skinner's home from a New Year's Eve party testified Skinner was \"fidgety and worried\" and that Donnell was no longer at a New Year's Eve party when Donnell returned.",
"\"The defense presented evidence that Donnell was a hot-tempered ex-con who had sexually molested a girl, grabbed a pregnant woman by the throat and kept a knife in his car,\" according to Owen's letter to Perry.",
"An expert testified at trial that Skinner would have been too intoxicated to commit the crimes, and a review of the evidence suggests that Skinner might have been even more intoxicated than initially thought, Owen writes.",
"Media outlets in Texas have been supportive of a reprieve for Skinner.",
"\"Before sending a man to die, we need to be absolutely sure of a man's guilt,\" the Houston Chronicle wrote in an editorial Friday.",
"Skinner's wife, Ageorges, told Radio France Internationale in a Tuesday interview that she began writing to Skinner in 1996 and they began visiting in 2000.",
"\"I'm convinced of Skinner's innocence not because I love Skinner and Skinner's my husband, I'm convinced of Skinner's innocence ... [because] there is scientific forensic evidence to prove that Skinner was not even in a state to stand up at the time of the crime let alone murder three people that Skinner loved,\" Ageorges told CNN's \"Larry King Live\" on Wednesday night after the stay had been granted.",
"\"There is absolutely no motive.\"",
"Ageorges also said Ageorges finds it \"mind-boggling that evidence preserved from the crime scene 15 years later -- including the murder weapon, a rape kit, nail clippings from one of the victims, a male jacket that doesn't fit his size at all with sweat, hair, DNA -- to this day is not tested.\"",
"Recently, questions have swirled in Texas regarding the 2004 execution of Cameron Todd Willingham for a fire that killed Cameron Todd Willingham's three daughters.",
"On March 19, Perry issued a posthumous pardon to the family of Timothy Cole, who was serving a 25-year sentence for aggravated sexual assault when he died in prison from an asthma attack.",
"After his death, DNA tests established his innocence, and another man confessed to the crime.",
"CNN's William Mears, Ashley Hayes and Emily Probst contributed to this report."

"Washington (CNN) --",
"Increased fighting in Afghanistan has caused a drop in morale among U.S. soldiers while the reduction in combat in Iraq has bolstered morale, according to a new Army report released Friday.",
"a new U.S. Army report released Friday summarizes two surveys of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan taken earlier this year.",
"New statistics from Army also show suicides are up in the entire service.",
"Produced every two years by Army's Mental Health Advisory Team, a new U.S. Army report released Friday comes just over a week after a U.S. soldier went on a shooting rampage at a Army base in Texas and possibly just days or weeks from an announcement from the Obama administration to send more troops to Afghanistan, where fighting has gotten more intense in recent months.",
"Authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting.",
"The suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan but had told his family that he wanted to get out of the military.",
"\"Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to face stress from multiple deployments into combat but report being more prepared for the stresses of deployments,\" Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, the Army Surgeon General told reporters Friday.",
"Not surprisingly, a new U.S. Army report released Friday showed that soldiers with multiple deployments, three or four tours of duty to Iraq or Afghanistan, had much lower morale and more mental health problems than those soldiers who have one or two combat deployments.",
"Increased time at home, however, resulted in improved morale among troops sent back to the field.",
"The updated survey of soldiers in Afghanistan found post-traumatic stress syndrome and depression in soldiers at the same levels of the survey in 2007, but still about double that of the 2005 survey results: 21.4 percent in 2009, 23.4 percent for 2007 and 10.4 percent in 2005, according to a new U.S. Army report released Friday.",
"In Iraq, where the survey has been done every year, lower numbers were attributed to the decrease in combat action there.",
"The 2009 numbers showed 13.3 percent of soldiers suffering from mental health problems, compared to 18.8 percent in 2007 and 22 percent in 2006.",
"Army officials said that with the push of more than 20,000 additional troops into the Afghan theater of battle over the last few months, there have been fewer mental health professionals in the field to help.",
"Army officials said the ration was about one mental health professional for every 1,120 soldiers.",
"To combat the falling morale and lack of mental health professionals in the field, Army officials said the service needs to more than double the number of mental health providers and hopes to have at least 65 more of those providers in the field by December, making the ratio one for every 700 soldiers.",
"The mental health assessment teams also conducted interviews with soldiers and found a drop in unit morale in Afghanistan to about half of what it was in 2007 and 2005, when about 10 percent surveyed gave top ratings to unit morale.",

"last year Army totaled 140 suicides in Army's ranks, the highest the service has recorded.",
"\"Stigma continues to be one of the most difficult challenges we confront,\" said Brig. Gen. Colleen McGuire, the director of the Suicide Prevention Task Force for Army.",
"\"The more we educate our Army community about the need to get help, the need to get it early, and that a full recovery is often possible, the less stigma we'll see.\"",
"Army has implemented a number of suicide prevention programs over the past year, including training, a suicide prevention task force and a day off official duties to focus on suicide prevention."

"Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN)",
"-- In the central plaza, there was once an orgy of music, street dancing and revelry unmatched by any other nation in the Americas, Haitians say.",
"But where there was joy now sits a vast settlement of people left without loved ones, without homes, without life's belongings.",
"Haitians have celebrated Carnival through dictatorships, military coups and bloodshed.",
"Popular belief was that if a government failed to deliver on Carnival, Haiti's equivalent of Mardi Gras, it was sure to fall, said Marie Laurence Lassegue, Haiti's minister of culture and information.",
"But this year, the three-day festival has been canceled, another indication of the enormity of the earthquake's devastation.",
"Musicians fell silent, seamstresses stopped sewing costumes and ghostly skeletons of unfinished floats lay scattered on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince.",
"A month after the devastating January 12 earthquake, the Champs de Mars plaza is home to the capital's displaced, where thousands of people have eked out a tiny space in which to survive.",
"Full coverage of the earthquake's aftermath .",
"\"This is the first time Carnival is not happening,\" said Roberto Martino, lead singer of popular Kompa band T-Vice.",

"Other musicians lost legs, arms and hands.",
"Other musicians will not be able to play again.",

"Carnival's three days of deliverance and celebration has tremendous importance in the lives of Haitians, Lassegue said.",
"\"But this year?",
"I don't even remember when it is.\"",
"Instead, the displaced are planning days of prayer.",
"\"We're living in a city that's like a cemetery,\" said Ronide Baduel, a nurse who lost her home and all her belongings in the quake.",
"Her brother died and suddenly, she found herself far from her middle-class existence, relegated to a makeshift tent and burlap bags she uses for pillows at night.",
"\"I had four good walls around me.",
"Now I have four sheets,\" she said.",
"She goes to work with a big, black faux-leather purse containing toothpaste, soap and a change of underwear.",
"There, she can bathe properly.",
"\"We don't know how many days, how many months, how long we will be this way,\" she said.",
"\"I am always stressed.",
"It's like living in a jungle.",
"How can I dance at Carnival?\"",
"Baduel and her tent community neighbors said the money that would have been spent on Carnival ought to be used to build housing.",
"Nearby, the 44 members of Relax Band, who normally would be revving up their street performances in the days before Carnival, worried about the musicians's next meal.",
"the musicians played the Sunday before the earthquake, marching through the streets, getting ready for the big performance.",
"Now, everything was gone, including all the musicians's instruments that were crushed when band coordinator Ernst Beauvais' house collapsed.",
"A small stage emblazoned with the red and white logo of Relax Band now harbors a massive water bladder tank dropped off by an aid group and a few mattresses for slumber under the stars.",
"\"It is one of the greatest tragedies to befall our country,\" Ernst Beauvais' said, pointing to the rubble of Ernst Beauvais''s house.",
"Ernst Beauvais' said it was the street band's 30th anniversary; the musicians were looking forward to showcasing the musicians's new song.",
"Almost every band in Haiti debuts new pieces at Carnival.",
"On the outskirts of town, the skeletons of three floats sit like ghosts, reminders of what might have come next week.",
"One of three floats belongs to T-Vice.",
"Bandmates Roberto Martino and Eddy Viau would have been practicing with the rest of the band for Bandmates Roberto Martino and Eddy Viau's Carnival performance -- it's an honor to win top prize.",
"\"If you have a good showing at Carnival, you're set for the rest of the year,\" Martino said.",
"This year, the band had planned a soccer-themed show with a song called \"The End of the Match.\"",
"Instead it recently released \"Nou Pap Lage'' (We Won't Give Up\"), dedicated to the victims of the earthquake.",
"iReport: Looking for loved ones in Haiti .",
"Martino tried to sing a few verses.",
"\"There are so many things going through my head,\" Martino said.",

"\"Don't be discouraged.",

"WASHINGTON (CNN) --",
"An increase in the number of suicides among military personnel can be traced, in part, to a \"stressed and tired force\" made vulnerable by multiple deployments, a military leader said Wednesday.",
"Long troop deployments in Iraq, above, and Afghanistan have been cited in the rise in military suicides.",
"\"We must find ways to relieve some of this stress,\" said Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, vice chief of staff of the Army, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee.",
"\"I think it is the cumulative effect of deployments from 12 to 15 months,\" Chiarelli said, adding that the longer deployments are scheduled to continue until June.",
"Chiarelli cited long deployments, lengthy separations from family and the perceived stigma associated with seeking help as factors contributing to the suicides.",
"Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, vice chief of naval operations, said suicides are the third leading cause of death in the Navy.",
"\"We must eliminate the perceived stigma, shame and dishonor of asking for help,\" he said.",
"Gen. James F. Amos, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, said his branch of the service has incorporated education and training about suicide prevention \"at all levels.\"",
"He said four of 55 mental health professionals deployed in the U.S. Central Command were recently embedded with Marines.",
"He expressed optimism that that tactic would pay off, but he said he had no data to support his expectation.",
"And Gen. William M. Fraser, vice chief of staff of the Air Force, said his branch, too, was taking steps \"to ensure airmen are as mentally prepared for deployment and redeployment as airmen are physically and professionally.\"",
"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said the efforts have not sufficed.",
"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina noted that last year, for the first time, the suicide rate among military personnel has exceeded that of the civilian population.",
"\"What's going on?\" he asked rhetorically.",
"The panel members made clear that, whatever is going on, it is complex.",
"Chiarelli said the Army tallied 133 confirmed suicides last year and is still investigating another seven possible ones.",
"At least 70 percent of 133 confirmed suicides had \"some kind of relationship problem,\" Chiarelli said.",
"Often, the situation was worsened by something else, such as a financial or legal problem, Chiarelli said.",
"And it wasn't just the trauma of war that appears to heighten the risk.",
"The suicides were about evenly divided among those who had returned from deployment, those who were still deployed -- some on a third or fourth tour -- and those who had never been deployed, Chiarelli said.",
"All of the military leaders said All of the military leaders had too few mental health professionals in All of the military leaders's ranks.",
"But Walsh said professionals are not the only people who must be trained to intervene, noting that it is often the shipmate or the battle buddy who seeks assistance for someone in need.",
"And Navy counselors are now asking family members for feedback that often proves more illuminating than what the sailors themselves are willing to impart, Walsh said.",
"\"If I survey the family, I'm going to get a different set of answers.\"",
"One reason some service personnel are reluctant to seek help from some service personnel's chain of command is because some service personnel fear some service personnel will then be passed over for promotions, the panel members said.",
"In some cases, some service personnel pay out of some service personnel's own pockets to seek help privately, Rubenstein said.",
"And others call civilian hotlines, one of which reported getting three calls per day this year from active-duty military personnel.",
"Representatives of all of the branches of the military said Representatives of all of the branches of the military have seen recent increases in suicides.",
"At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary William Gates said Defense Secretary William Gates believes the 15-month deployments \"were a real strain\" on many, but expressed optimism that beneficial changes are in the works.",
"\"All the services are are addressing this problem, but the Army in particular, I think, is really going after this problem in a very aggressive way,\" Defense Secretary William Gates said.",
"But some suicides appear to defy all prevention efforts.",
"Maj. Gen. David A. Rubenstein, deputy surgeon general of the Army, cited the case of a 33-year-old soldier who was living at home with the soldier's wife and three children.",
"the soldier suffered a traumatic brain injury more than two years ago and had been giving weekly motivational speeches to other soldiers in a clinic.",
"For the past two years, the soldier also had been seeing a psychiatrist.",
"The most recent visit occurred last Friday.",
"On Monday, the soldier saw the soldier's primary care doctor and the soldier's nurse case manager, and also had a life-skills appointment.",
"\"On Tuesday, the soldier apparently committed suicide,\" Rubenstein said.",
"\"the soldier was treated, compliant and supported in every way, and yet the soldier's dead today.\"",
"The suicide underscores that suicide is \"a complex, very difficult problem that causes all of us to scratch our heads and wonder: how do we stop the next one?\"",
"Last year, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, two cadets and two members of the staff and faculty killed two cadets and two members of the staff and faculty, said Brig. Gen. Michael S. Linnington, commandant of the cadets.",
"He cited stress from broken relationships and, in one case, a pre-existing mental health condition that academy officials had not known about at the time of admission.",
"None of the four had been deployed to a combat zone.",
"Linnington called the spate of self-directed violence at the school \"troubling and unacceptable\" and said preventive measures there had been beefed up in recent months."

"Complicating matters even further, roughly another 4,000 \"bad guys\" are on the run, National Police Chief Mario Andresol added, after the 95-year-old, badly overcrowded National Penitentiary in the capital collapsed and the inmates escaped.",
"\"Today, the Haitian National Police have double work,\" National Police Chief Mario Andresol said, adding that the Haitian National Police is bring in troops from other parts of the country.",
"\"There are not enough, so the Haitian National Police are trying.\"",
"Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president who is the U.N. special envoy to Haiti, said Sunday that 40 percent of the Haitian police force has reported for duty since the January 12 temblor.",
"It was unclear how many other police officers died and how many were struggling with the overwhelming hardships from such widespread destruction.",
"First formed in 1995, the Haitian police force took over security from a disbanded military known for loyalty to dictators instead of the state, noted Brian Concannon Jr., director of the non-profit Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti.",
"A lack of money and other resources over the years, along with continued instability including a 2004 coup, has left the Haitian police force under-funded, under-trained and full of former soldiers prone to operating outside the law, Concannon said.",
"For example, Concannon cited summary executions of suspected criminals as a problem since the 2004 coup, along with police involvement in gangs or other criminal activity.",
"In addition, a dysfunctional judicial system undermines the ability of the Haitian police force to deal with chronic crime problems in Port-au-Prince and elsewhere, according to Concannon.",
"High-resolution photos of damage | Google map .",
"Progress has occurred in recent years, as the government simultaneously tried to remove \"bad apples\" from the Haitian police force while expanding the number of policemen on the streets, Concannon said.",
"\"Although the Haitian National Police's efforts resulted in significantly increased levels of physical security and policing effectiveness, in many cases the Haitian National Police could not prevent or respond to gang-related and other societal violence due to an insufficient number of officers and inadequate equipment or training,\" said a 2008 report on Haiti by Concannon's group.",
"Now the earthquake will set back the reform effort.",
"\"There's no doubt the Haitian national police took a significant blow in this disaster,\" U.S. Assistant Secretary of State P.J. Crowley said Monday.",
"U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told CNN on Monday that he would ask for an additional 2,000 U.N. troops and 1,500 U.N. police officers to bolster the 3,000 U.N. police and soldiers currently deployed in Port-au-Prince -- among the 9,000 U.N. troops in Haiti.",
"According to Ban, the additional forces would \"help humanitarian assistance be delivered in a safe way.\"",
"Concannon said Haitians coping with this disaster will be patient as long as they see aid arriving.",
"Concannon worried that excessive concerns about security was slowing aid.",
"\"I am afraid you're going to have an escalating spiral where people who were willing to be patient lose people who were willing to be patient's patience due to supplies being withheld for security reasons,\" Concannon said.",
"\"And then that impatience escalates and brings increased security, which further cuts the flow of supplies.\"",

"The highest-level talks between the United States and N. Korea since President Obama took office unfolded Wednesday in Pyongyang, with a virtual lock-down on information.",
"The top U.S. envoy for N. Korea, Stephen Bosworth, is on a three-day visit for meetings to determine whether N. Korea will return to six-party talks on N. Korea's nuclear program.",
"The veteran diplomat is the first senior official from the President Obama administration to hold direct talks with Pyongyang.",
"The White House offered no new details about the talks, and North Koreanstate media only acknowledged U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth's arrival in a one-line report.",
"N. Korea abandoned the six-party talks last April, declaring them \"dead,\" in anger over international criticism of N. Korea's nuclear and missile tests.",
"But N. Korea also sent signals that N. Korea wanted to pursue bilateral talks with the United States instead of a multilateral dialogue.",
"Meanwhile, N. Korea also has cooled N. Korea's tough rhetoric against the United States.",
"Many are wondering what's behind N. Korea's latest moves.",
"\"The visit gives N. Korea a lot of 'face,' a sense of importance,\" said Wenran Jiang, political science professor at the University of Alberta in Canada.",
"Some analysts say N. Korea might just be trying to buy time.",
"Earlier reports in Seoul claimed that N. Korea is in the final stages of restoring N. Korea's Yongbyon nuclear plant, which Pyongyang had begun to disable before walking away from the six-party talks in April.",
"Given the secrecy of N. Korea, Earlier reports in Seoul could not be verified.",
"Analysts say N. Korea is also desperate to break out of N. Korea's diplomatic isolation and ease N. Korea's economic pain, especially after the U.N. Security Council imposed tougher sanctions on the communist country in response to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests earlier this year.",
"Another reason for Pyongyang's moves, analysts say, is neighboring China.",
"When Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited Pyongyang in October, China pledged much-needed economic, trade and military aid to China's communist ally.",
"During the three-day visit, President Kim Jong Il indicated that N. Korea was willing to return to its nuclear program -- on condition that there would be progress in direct talks between N. Korea and the United States.",
"China has hosted several rounds of the six-party talks, which bring together the United States, North and South Korea, Japan, Russia and China.",
"its nuclear program aim to negotiate a deal for N. Korea to abandon N. Korea's nuclear program in exchange for security guarantees and aid.",
"In the end, Pyongyang wants direct talks with Washington that will eventually lead to diplomatic ties, a peace treaty and economic and trade relations.",
"\"China can only act as a go-between, but in the end, the U.S. and N. Korea will have to resolve critical issues between North Korea,\" Jiang said.",
"A U.S. State Department official said U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth would not carry any new proposals or new initiatives on his visit.",
"\"Our goal here is, of course, the resumption of its nuclear program and to secure N. Korea's reaffirmation of the September 2005 joint agreement,\" State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said a few days before U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth's trip.",
"State Department spokesman Ian Kelly added: \"The complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula ... will be the focus of Bosworth's trip to Pyongyang.\"",
"Some observers point to a wide difference in the United States and North Korea's negotiating positions.",
"Selig Harrison, an expert on N. Korea who has visited the North many times said, \"the U.S. side always says the United States don't want to buy the same horse twice.",
"Defense Secretary (Robert) Gates actually said that several months ago, meaning that the United States keep giving N. Korea things to get results which the United States don't get and the United States feel that the United States've been cheated and the United States're making the same deal over and over again.",
"But actually N. Korea feel that N. Korea're the ones who don't get what the United States have promised.\"",
"Bridging their differences, observers say, will not be easy.",
"\"If U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth can persuade N. Korea to return to the six-party talks, all the better,\" said Zha Daojiong, a professor at Peking University in China.",
"\"On the other hand, it will be understandable if he does not.",
"In terms of negotiations, just about all the cards have been put on the table,\" he said.",
"\"It is critically important to be patient with both North Korea and the United States.\"",
"Some see the potential for progress.",
"Koh Yu-hwan, an expert on N. Korea at Dongguk University in Seoul, South Korea, said there might be options when it comes to N. Korea's nuclear weapons.",
"\"It's not that clear-cut,\" he said.",
"\"The Korean War ended with an armistice.",
"Technically The Korean War is not yet over.",
"N. Korea wants nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the United States",
"So, if the United States offers a security guarantee, pledges that the United States wouldn't try a 'regime change' and sign a peace treaty with N. Korea, the goal of denuclearization is still possible.\"",
"U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth's visit comes after meeting with U.S. allies.",
"U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth stopped in Seoul on Monday to brief South Korean officials on U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth's trip to N. Korea.",
"Bonnie Glaser, a N. Korea analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States, noted that even N. Korea's renewed indication that it might return to the stalled six-party talks is not enough and there still is a long way to go to accomplish the denuclearization goal.",
"After U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth's visit to N. Korea, U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth is expected to consult with the other six-party countries before returning to the United States.",

"A 47-year-old Virginia man was charged Monday with interfering with a flight crew during a flight last week in which A 47-year-old Virginia man allegedly became intoxicated and unruly, leading authorities to scramble fighter jets and the pilot to make an emergency landing.",
"Incident occurred Friday when Muhammad Abu Tahir, a Pakistani national and lawful permanent U.S. resident of Glen Allen, Virginia, was aboard AirTran Airways Flight 39 from Atlanta, Georgia, to San Francisco, California.",
"During the flight, a flight attendant served Tahir, seated in coach, three airplane-serving-sized bottles of wine, then refused to serve A 47-year-old Virginia man more, according to a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI.",
"A 47-year-old Virginia man appealed to the senior flight attendant, who granted A 47-year-old Virginia man a fourth, then a fifth bottle, both of which A 47-year-old Virginia man downed quickly, it said.",
"A 47-year-old Virginia man then went to a bathroom in the rear of the plane and closed the door, opening the door a few minutes later and placing A 47-year-old Virginia man's shoes and socks outside the door, then retreating back inside, a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI said.",
"\"A short time later, A 47-year-old Virginia man again opened the lavatory door revealing that A 47-year-old Virginia man was shaving with no shirt on,\" it added.",
"When a flight attendant knocked on the door and encouraged A 47-year-old Virginia man to leave a bathroom in the rear of the plane so others could use a bathroom in the rear of the plane, A 47-year-old Virginia man refused \"and started yelling at the flight attendant that A 47-year-old Virginia man was being disrespected,\" a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI said.",
"Notified of the passenger's behavior, the captain advised a flight attendant to enlist the help of a passenger to stand outside a bathroom in the rear of the plane in case help was needed, a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI said.",
"But A 47-year-old Virginia man continued yelling and refused to obey the crew, at one point grabbing a flight attendant by a flight attendant's arms and hands, releasing a flight attendant only after a passenger interceded, a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI said.",
"By this time, a fire extinguisher had been carried to the rear of the plane for possible use against the man and a beverage cart was repositioned to contain A 47-year-old Virginia man, according to a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI .",
"While A 47-year-old Virginia man remained inside a bathroom in the rear of the plane, the pilot made an emergency landing in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where police officers took A 47-year-old Virginia man to the El Paso County Jail, where A 47-year-old Virginia man remained Monday.",
"A 47-year-old Virginia man told the FBI that A 47-year-old Virginia man felt A 47-year-old Virginia man was being disrespected when the flight attendants denied A 47-year-old Virginia man's request for food, which was being served in business class, a two-page affidavit filed Monday by the FBI said.",
"The charges A 47-year-old Virginia man faces will be read Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver and a detention hearing and preliminary hearing are to be scheduled for later in the week.",
"\"It is crucial that the flying public obey the commands of the flight crew,\" said U.S. Attorney David Gaouette.",
"If convicted, A 47-year-old Virginia man faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, or both, as well as restitution to the airline.",
"The incident was the second in three days in which North American Aerospace Defense Command fighter jets were scrambled in response to a passenger deemed disruptive.",
"On Wednesday, NORAD escorted a Hawaii-bound plane back to its origination city of Portland, Oregon, after a passenger gave a flight attendant a note that was interpreted as being threatening.",
"The passenger, Joseph Hedlund Johnson, 56, told the FBI he hadn't intended to scare anyone with the note, which began, \"I thought I was going to die,\" and referenced the television show \"Gilligan's Island.\""

"(CNN) --",
"Three days after a consumers' group called for a meat boycott, the head of Argentina's beef industry said Thursday prices will fall by week's end.",
"Gustavo Valsangiacomo, president of the Argentina Beef Industry Union, declined to say the boycott was responsible for the price drop.",
"But he acknowledged that demand for beef is falling, the official Telam news agency said.",
"\"There are a sum of factors,\" Valsangiacomo told Telam.",
"\"I don't want to take importance away from the boycott, but it will be analyzed by the end of the week.",
"Nonetheless, we undoubtedly believe that prices reached a point that the public cannot and does not want to accept.\"",
"On Monday, an Argentinean consumer group called for a one-week beef boycott in an attempt to lower prices in a nation that eats more beef than anywhere else in the world.",
"The price of beef has increased 40 percent to 50 percent since December, said the Association of Free Consumers, which called for the boycott.",
"an Argentinean consumer group cited success in a similar recent boycott of tomatoes, which also had risen in price.",
"Within a few days of the tomato boycott, prices dropped, an Argentinean consumer group said.",
"Valsangiacomo said the beef industry had reached a particular point in which cattle growers have cheap feed but have tried to maximize cattle growers's profits.",
"\"There has to be an equilibrium between their costs and what consumers are paying,\" the industry chief said.",
"Argentina -- a nation of nearly 41 million residents and 51 million head of cattle in 2007, the latest year comparison figures are available -- has faced a crisis as cattle supplies have dipped to cattle supplies's lowest levels in 45 years, according to the Argentina Farm Federation.",
"The Association of Free Consumers cites three possible reasons for the decline in cattle stock: a significant increase in the number of slaughtered livestock; an acceleration in the cultivation of soy, with more than 10 million hectares (24.7 million acres) converted from livestock to soy production; and more Argentineans buying beef.",
"Drought also has decreased the size of available pasture land.",
"Argentineans eat more beef than any other nation in the world -- 68 kilograms (150 lbs) per person annually, the Argentina Farm Federation said.",
"Despite the high consumption, that's a significant decrease from the 80 kilograms (176 lbs) per person per year in the 1970s, the farmers' group said.",
"Argentinean beef is considered among the best in the world, and the nation is the third-largest exporter in the world, behind Brazil and Australia.",
"But the drastic decline in beef cattle has led some Argentineans to worry the nation eventually could have to import beef to keep up with the high demand."

"Yes, I admit this wasn't the first time I'd forgotten an important event.",
"Let's not get hung up on that.",
"What's important is that I quickly and admirably redeemed myself.",
"For a refreshing walk, try a sliver of the Laguna Beach coastline, about 50 miles south of Los Angeles.",
"Once the florist came to deliver the white dendrobium (I collect orchids) and I read the note -- \"Happy Anniversary. Love, J\" -- I immediately jumped into action: In less than an hour, I'm driving my wife, Jan, to Laguna Beach, our favorite seaside village.",
"It is a place blessedly stocked with eateries where a guy can get noteworthy huevos rancheros while a guy's beloved browses chic shops along Ocean and Forest Avenues for bejeweled sandals during winter sales.",
"Laguna Beach also happens to be where we spent a few days on our honeymoon years ago, so I have that going for me.",
"Short of hiring a helicopter, there are only two ways to get to this gallery-filled artist colony, either along Orange County's Coast Highway or down eucalyptus-laden Laguna Canyon Road, which curves like a riverbed, flowing down to the sea from the base of steep hills dotted with aerie bright-white homes that look like seagulls perched on precipices.",
"As we roll into town just before sunset, we feel like we're dropping into a box canyon with the Pacific Ocean as the Pacific Ocean's only outlet, making the village feel cozy and isolated, particularly in the fall and winter months when the crowds thin out.",
"A chilly breeze brings the faint smell of menthol (the canyon's eucalyptus trees) and something sweet, like saltwater taffy, perhaps from one of the candy stores.",
"Long sheets of purplish orange clouds scatter like flaming blankets across the sky, suffusing the Pacific Ocean, the sky, even Jan's face with a fireside glow.",
"\"This is such a special treat,\" she says.",
"\"I can't believe you thought of it.",
"By the way, where are we staying?\"",
"Fortunately, I'm prepared for this question.",
"I've been turning this question over in my head from the moment we left home.",
"I was thinking we could try to get a room at the hotel where we'd spent three nights on our honeymoon, even though it wasn't that great.",
"But then my spousal guilt kicks in, so I decide to bite the bullet and go all out at Montage Laguna Beach resort and spa: California Craftsman architecture.",

"Jaw-dropping room rates.",
"That sort of thing.",
"Beach romance .",
"When we get up the next morning, the sun warming up the room, Jan and I both notice the quiet.",
"With doors open wide to the Pacific, we hear the chest-thumping crash of the waves, the raspy bark of sea lions, the singsongy entreaty of a distant jogger calling his dog back from a run on the beach.",
"I say we love the quiet, then I talk about the sounds.",
"But it's different.",
"In summer, beach sounds can be cacophonous.",
"In fall and winter, there's mostly the wind and waves and sea life.",
"We love the communal feel of the town at this time of year, when locals, who seem to hibernate during the hot months, suddenly reappear to reclaim locals, who seem to hibernate during the hot months's favorite eateries and bars.",
"One morning we laze about Zinc Cafe on boutique-lined Ocean Avenue, reading the paper while digging into massive bowls of oatmeal mixed with dried cherries and nuts and surreptitiously listening to the breezy conversation around us -- like that of the young woman at the next table who's trying to convince a friend to join the young woman in a laughter-yoga workshop on the beach.",
"\"At first you just feel really stupid going hee-hee-hee, haw-haw-haw, but then you really do start laughing and it ... it's such a release,\" the young woman says.",
"\"What the heck is laughter yoga?\"",
"I lean over and whisper to Jan.",
"Jan raises Jan's eyebrows, perplexed, and we both try hard not to laugh.",
"Fishing for adventure .",
"For exercise, we hike down from Coast Highway to Victoria Beach, a secluded cove hardly anyone goes to, particularly off-season.",
"I take moody black-and-white photos of Jan on a sea-worn rock in front of an odd little castle turret on the beach, a tower built almost 80 years ago by an early inhabitant who was looking to camouflage spiraling stairs to his house -- long gone -- on the bluff above us.",
"We do a lot of beach walking, particularly just before cocktail hour in the late afternoon.",
"Strolling down Treasure Island beach, we come across couples cozy on couples's blankets, and chilled surf fishermen slapping their hands together while keeping a watchful eye on their poles.",
"That night we enjoy dinner at Sapphire Laguna restaurant, where the old Pottery Shack, a local landmark, sat for 60 years.",
"We huddle around a firepit on the patio, looking over the roofs of shops along the highway to where the sun is dipping into the Pacific Ocean, and nosh on homemade rosemary and sea-salt potato chips while quaffing Chimay Blue dark ale.",
"And while it isn't exactly my favorite adventure, in the spirit of the weekend I join Jan one afternoon while Jan pokes around the shops of Laguna Village, perched on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean, trying not to act too annoyed when Jan insists I sniff herbal-scented candles or try on goofy-looking leather hats, the type worn by guys with walrus mustaches and jackets with fringe.",
"In short, we do everything and nothing at all, which is really the best thing about Laguna at this time of year.",
"And I think Jan appreciated my efforts.",
"Which may explain why Jan seems completely unruffled when I confess that I had, indeed, forgotten our anniversary.",
"\"Of course you did,\" Jan says as we head back home.",
"\"Why do you think I sent the orchid?\"",
"A more cynical man might suspect that Jan'd engineered the whole weekend herself.",

"WARSAW, Poland (CNN) --",
"In Poland, it's polite to bring flowers when you visit someone's home, so there's a flower shop on virtually every street corner in Warsaw.",
"Crowds flock to Rynek Starego Miasta, Warsaw's Old Town Market Place.",
"But Warsaw is now realizing flower power on a bigger scale.",
"There are buds and blooms adding color all over the capital, from the quaint Old Town to the bustling city center to the massive concrete apartment blocks left over from the communist era.",
"It's Warsaw in bloom, in many ways: A city thriving, growing and blossoming six decades after much of it was destroyed during World War II and almost 20 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union brought many radical economic and social changes.",
"Modern Warsaw is a mix of shiny new skyscrapers, tree-lined boulevards, ornate prewar buildings and somber concrete communist relics.",
"Hamburger joints and pizzerias compete for customers with restaurants offering traditional Polish fare like pierogi.",
"Expensive new cars share the road with crowded buses and trams.",
"Traffic jams frustrate drivers throughout the day.",
"But it's the older Warsaw -- faithfully restored and full of churches, palaces and parks -- that seems to attract the most visitors.",

"The street is also home to a sweet Warsaw tradition.",
"Blikle, one of the city's best-known confectioners, has been serving up cakes and pastries since 1869.",
"It's probably most famous for perfecting the Polish version of the donut: Fist-sized balls of sweet, fragrant yeast dough fried until they're golden-brown and covered with icing.",
"But it's what's inside that gives them their unique taste: A filling of preserves made from pureed rose petals and sugar.",
"They're best when they're still warm, when it's especially hard to eat just one.",
"Bustling Nowy Świat Street flows into elegant Krakowskie Przedmieście Street as you near the Old Town, Stare Miasto.",
"Follow the crowds to the Royal Castle and the column bearing the statue of Poland's King Zygmunt III, first erected in 1644.",
"Cobblestone streets lead to the heart of the district: Rynek Starego Miasta, the Old Town Market Place, where visitors are surrounded by picturesque pastel blue, pink and yellow buildings capped by red-shingled roofs and where the mood is as merry as the colors.",

"Among the many other pleasures: Watching the playful red squirrels roaming in the grass and taking in the colorful plumage of the peacocks strolling the grounds.",
"Nearby, another Warsaw tradition awaits.",
"For decades, the statue of Frederic Chopin has drawn music lovers and pianists for outdoor concerts of the Polish composer's works.",
"They're held each summer underneath the monument as crowds gather in the surrounding rose garden that also serves as an auditorium.",
"But any stroll through Warsaw is also a walk through Warsaw's tragic history.",
"\"In this spot, the Nazis shot to death 30 Poles,\" a stone tablet reads on Nowy Świat Street.",

"Washington (CNN) --",
"In the wake of the Christmas Day attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner, most Americans remain confident the Obama administration can protect the country from terrorism, according to a new national poll.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday also indicates the vast majority of Americans believe that full-body scanners should be used in airports across the country.",
"Nearly two-thirds of people questioned in the poll said Nearly two-thirds of people have a moderate or great deal of confidence in the Obama administration to protect the public from future terrorist attacks, up 2 percentage points from August.",
"Thirty-five percent said Thirty-five percent have not much or no confidence, down 1 percentage point from August.",
"Read the full poll results (PDF)",
"A number of Republicans have criticized Obama over Obama's handling of the attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan.",
"But according to A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday, 57 percent approve of the way Obama has responded, while 39 percent disapprove of how Obama handled the situation.",
"\"Only a third of Republicans have a positive view of Obama on this matter, but the key for the Obama administration is the 55 percent of independents who approve of how Obama responded to the incident on Christmas Day,\" said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday also indicates no increase in overall concern about terrorism.",
"\"In October, about a third said they were worried that a family member would become a victim of terrorism, and that number is unchanged in the wake of the attempted attack in December,\" Keating Holland said.",
"\"The public seems to react calmly to individual incidents, possibly because most Americans believe that the country cannot prevent every single terrorist plot from occurring.\"",
"Six in 10 said terrorists always will find a way to launch an attack, no matter what the country does, he added -- identical to the number who felt that way during the Bush administration.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday indicates a majority, 57 percent, think suspect Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab should be tried in military court and not a civilian criminal court.",
"Forty-two percent back handling the case in civilian court.",

"Forty-six percent questioned feel that top officials in the federal agencies responsible for handling the issue of terrorism should be fired, while 51 percent said no.",
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday indicates that nearly eight in 10 believe full-body scanners should be used in U.S. airports, while 15 percent said 15 percent would refuse to go through one of the machines if asked to do so.",
"\"Most Americans don't see full-body scanners as a health risk, and more than seven in 10 say they would be unconcerned if asked to go through one at an airport,\" Holland said.",
"\"Women in particular seem to prefer the idea of a full-body scanner to being frisked by a security guard, even when the question makes clear that the guard doing the manual pat-down would also be a woman.\"",
"The CNN/Opinion Research poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, with 1,021 adult Americans questioned by telephone.",
"The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.",
"CNN deputy political director Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report."
