"Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama, meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul on Thursday, said he will send envoy Stephen Bosworth to North Korea next month for bilateral talks on dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear program.",
"\"If North Korea is prepared to take concrete and irreversible steps to fulfill its obligations and eliminate its nuclear weapons program, the United States will support economic assistance and help promote its full integration into the community of nations,\" Obama said.",
"\"That opportunity and respect will not come with threats.",
"North Korea must live up to its obligations.\"",
"Bosworth's trip is slated for December 8.",
"\"Convincing North Korea to give up their nuclear program, it is not a simple matter,\" according to Lee, who said there's no deadline, at the joint news conference with Obama.",
"\"It's not going to be easy, but I believe it is possible that we can resolve this issue peacefully.\"",
"The development comes at the end of the U.S. president's tour of Asia, which included stops in Japan, Singapore and China before his visit to South Korea.",
"In recent weeks North Korea has sought direct talks with the United States in what American officials saw as a possible re-entry to full negotiations with the United States and other countries over ending Pyongyang's nuclear program.",
"A Bosworth mission had already been announced, but a date was not previously mentioned publicly.",
"The United States has been careful to describe the trip as only a limited diplomatic foray and one not designed to replace the fuller negotiations.",
"\"From our standpoint, the purpose will be to facilitate the early resumption of the six-party talks,\" P.J.",
"Crowley said at a U.S. State Department briefing last week.",
"The so-called six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program had come to a standstill.",
"But the Bosworth trip could lead to new negotiations between North Korea and the United States, South Korea, Japan and Russia and China.",
"\"We are very realistic about our expectations,\" he said.",
"\"We come to this meeting prepared to engage North Korea in the context of the six-party talks, but obviously the bottom line here is that North Korea has to take affirmative steps toward denuclearization.",
"That remains our core objective.\""

"He emerged amid a crowd of uniformed security personnel and throngs of cheering supporters at the airport, where security was on high alert.",
"Speaking to CNN just moments before his plane departed from Medina, Saudi Arabia, Sharif denied reports that he struck a deal with President Pervez Musharraf's government that would allow him to return to Pakistan.",
"\"I haven't met any Pakistani government functionary over the last eight years, although there were a lot of overtures from the Pakistani side to meet me and to talk to me,\" Sharif said Sunday afternoon.",
"He said he has not changed his position on Musharraf, the man who overthrew him in a bloodless military coup in 1999.",
"\"He is not a legitimate president of the country; I do not accept that, not at all,\" Sharif said.",
"It is the second time Sharif has arrived in Pakistan this year.",
"He was quickly deported back to Saudi Arabia by Musharraf's government when he tried to return in September.",
"Political observers doubt he will be turned away this time.",
"Pakistani police set up on roadblocks leading into Lahore and the government had warned Sharif supporters they would be blocked from entering the city.",

"Former Pakistani prime minister and opposition leader Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan in October, after eight years in self-imposed exile.",

"Sharif, like other opposition leaders, was highly critical of Bhutto for discussing a power-sharing government with Musharraf.",
"Those talks ended when Musharraf imposed a state of emergency on November 3.",
"Sharif said that while his alliance -- the All Pakistan Democratic Movement (APDM) -- is preparing to participate in the January elections, they will only take part if Musharraf withdraws the emergency declaration and releases opposition members who have been jailed.",
"\"Everything that was done must be reversed and drawn back completely,\" he said.",
"\"Just withdrawing emergency will not be enough,\" he said.",

"Musharraf met with Saudi leaders last week -- his first trip since imposing the state of emergency -- raising speculation that an understanding was reached with the Saudi government that prompted their support of Sharif's return from exile.",
"A spokesman for Musharraf told CNN Sunday there was no agreement or understanding with Sharif.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- It's fair to say David Beckham may be seeing more green off the football pitch than he does on it.",
"Reason to smile: David Beckham is the highest-earning footballer in the world, according to Forbes .",
"Despite a difficult and expensive period negotiating an extended release from his LA Galaxy club -- Beckham has been named as the world's highest-earning footballer by Forbes magazine.",
"The magazine has ranked the top 20 top-paid footballers in the world -- a list that includes many of today's top players and some ageing heroes who are still rolling in cash.",
"The 33-year-old Beckham, currently on loan with Italian club AC Milan as part of an extended deal from LA Galaxy, earned an estimated $46 million last year, according to Forbes.",
"It calculates that the Briton has earned $95m in the past two years -- $66m of which has come from endorsement contracts.",
"Although his long-running deal with Pepsi ended in December last year, his currently resurgent career is likely to provide a boost for the coming few seasons.",
"Behind Beckham in the Forbes list is his Brazilian AC Milan team-mate, Ronaldinho, who earned an estimated $33m in 2008.",
"Rounding out the top five places are (respectively); Thierry Henry, Kaka and last year's FIFA World Player of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo.",
"See our gallery of the top twenty highest-paid footballers in the world, according to Forbes » .",
"Ronaldo's earnings of $21 million came primarily from his Manchester United wages ($12m), while endorsements from companies such as Nike and Coca-Cola made up the remaining $9m.",
"The Portugal player's namesake -- Brazilian Ronaldo -- is still on the list at number 12, having earned $15m despite being sidelined for much of the year with a serious knee injury and returning to his homeland to play club football.",
"Partner in the Sports Business group at Deloitte, Dan Jones, told CNN that only a \"tiny percentage\" of footballers earned more from product endorsements than they do from their player wages.",
"\"It's only the very, very top. For the vast majority of footballers, the wages they earn from their clubs will be their greatest source of income.\"",
"Jones said Beckham's continuing popularity beyond the world of football in both the U.S. and in Europe would likely ensure he remains around the top of the rich list for a few years to come.",
"\"He is now a grand icon that in some sense transcends what he does on the football field,\" Jones said.",
"However, Jones added he was impressed with the way Beckham had made strong efforts to reinstate his image as being primarily a footballer over the last 18 months.",

"(CNN) -- A 2005 cable by the U.S. ambassador to Botswana criticized how the southern African nation's government handled the removal of Bushmen people from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, according to the document obtained by WikiLeaks and published Thursday by London's Guardian newspaper.",
"The cable by former Ambassador Joseph Huggins described a visit to the government-run Bushmen settlement called New Xade outside the reserve where hundreds of Bushmen lived after being forced to leave the protected area.",
"\"It is also clear that people have been dumped in economically absolutely unviable situations without forethought, and without follow-up support,\" said the cable bearing Huggins' name at the bottom.",
"\"The lack of imagination displayed on the part of the GOB (government of Botswana) is breathtaking.\"",
"The Bushmen, traditional hunter-gatherers indigenous to arid regions of southern Africa including the desert interior of Botswana, were forced out of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve by the government in 2002.",
"The government said human inhabitants were out of place in a wilderness reserve, but the Bushmen and their advocates argued the government was clearing the way to launch the lucrative mining for diamonds, the country's economic mainstay.",
"On Monday, Botswana's government granted a 25-year, $3 billion mining license to Gem Diamonds for an area that includes the part of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, claimed as indigenous homeland by the Bushmen.",
"The cable, if authentic, doesn't represent the current situation, Jeff Ramsey a spokesman for the Botswana government, said in an e-mailed statement.",
"\"It is at best a snapshot of one individual's own initial assessment at a point in time,\" he said.",
"Ramsey said the government has \"engaged in a wide range of economic empowerment initiatives\" for those affected by the relocation, including providing livestock, small business mentoring and other services.",
"\"It has been and remains Government's view that the establishment of New Xade has increased both the immediate and long-term opportunities for economic and social development of its residents, as is reflected in the village's ongoing growth,\" he said.",
"In a separate but related matter, an appeals court in Botswana will rule as soon as next week on whether Bushmen who have returned to the game reserve have the right to use a water well, known as a borehole, near their settlement.",
"Last year, Justice Lakhvinder Singh Walia ruled against the Bushmen, saying they could choose to live closer to where water and other essential services were available outside the reserve.",
"At an appeals court hearing this week, the lawyer for the Bushmen told the five appellate judges that the Bushmen had a lawful and constitutional right to live in the game reserve.",
"In addition, the lawyer, barrister Gordon Bennett, said the nation's Water Act allows any legal occupant of land to dig a borehole for domestic use.",
"In response, the lawyer for the government told the appellate panel that the government was not obliged to restore resources for the Bushmen in the game reserve.",
"The lawyer, Paul Berger, said the government provided sufficient water to Bushmen communities outside the reserve.",
"\"The applicants have eschewed the government's provision of services in favor of living traditionally in the\" game reserve, Berger said.",
"If the Bushmen chose to live a nomadic life like their ancestors, they should do so as their ancestors did, without government-provided water, he argued.",
"According to Survival International, a London-based group that advocates for the Bushmen, a 2006 court ruling gave the Bushmen the right to return to their ancestral land, but the government \"has done everything it can to make their return impossible,\" the group says on its website."

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- There is a mathematical reason why the French Open is so different to any other of the Grand Slam tennis tournaments.",
"Clay courts require a different type of game to grass and hard court surfaces .",
"The Roland Garros tournament is currently being contested, with Rafael Nadal looking for his fifth win in a row, and world number two Roger Federer searching for his first ever French Open title.",
"• Get the latest French Open news .",
"What has brought problems to Federer, and to other greats like Pete Sampras and Boris Becker -- who never won a French Open, is the clay surface on which it is contested.",
"The maths of the clay surface are distinctly different to grass or hard-court surfaces.",
"All officially recognized courts have a court pace rating (CPR), which rates the \"speed\" of the court -- and clay courts are at the bottom.",
"The crushed-brick mixture that constitutes the base of a clay court produces a the highest bounce and most friction of the three surfaces, meaning they have the lowest CPR of all three surface types and are considered as the \"slowest\".",
"Grass courts are generally have the highest CPR numbers, and are the \"fastest\" courts.",
"The CPR numbers give a hint as to whether a ball will bounce higher or lower on a specific surface, and how much friction there is to either slow the ball or allow it to skid on.",
"An example court pace rating for each surface may be 23 for a clay court, 35 for a hard court and 46 for a grass court.",
"• Try our special interactive to see how tennis ball bounce on different surfaces » .",
"This number is calculated by considering both horizontal speed and vertical bounce of a tennis ball off a court.",
"The equation used is CPR = SPR + 150 x (0.81-e).",
"To make more sense of this, the International Tennis Federation, the game's law-makers, have produced a chart which simply matches the coefficient of friction (friction) and coefficient of restitution (bounce) to produce a court pace rating.",
"But it's not just the bounce and speed of the ball off the clay surface that sets it apart from other courts, and makes the French Open an elusive tournament for some players.",
"Head of women's tennis at Britain's Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), Nigel Sears, told CNN the slippery nature of the clay surface also set it apart from other types of court.",
"\"The main factor that makes it different is that it's a loose surface.",
"That allows players to slide on it.\"",
"The loose surface and different clay characteristics meant the crushed-brick surface required a different game plan, he said.",
"\"Players are a lot further back on the clay surface.",
"If you look at Nadal, his return of service points of contact are different to other surfaces ... on clay he can sit back.\"",
"The slower pace and higher bounce also meant big servers like Sampras were negated on clay and certain types of players were better suited to it, Sears said.",
"\"Clay magnifies spin.",
"So the slice is effective on clay ... and you can also produce a lot of top spin.",
"One of the problems Federer has on clay is that he has a single-handed backhand, and Nadal can get so much spin -- so Federer is trying to hit single-handed shots up around his shoulder.\"",
"The clay approach was slightly different in women's tennis, however, as some players tended to approach clay matches similar to hard-court games, he said.",
"Sears said endurance was also a crucial advantage on clay, particularly at Roland Garros.",
"\"You tend to have longer rallies on clay.",
"The French Open is so physical with five-set matches.",
"When somebody faces Nadal to five sets no-one can compete with him physically,\" he said."

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- If Manchester United and Liverpool fans are expecting the arrival of superstar players ahead of the new season then they had better think again, as the cost of refinancing debt could significantly curb the club's spending power according to industry experts.",
"Liverpool co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks took over the club in February 2007 .",
"Financial prudence will be the watchword for the majority of the English Premier League in the transfer market as clubs look to consolidate their financial position in a move that could see a shift of power in Europe to Spain's La Liga.",
"United have received $130 million for the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, but the Glazer family owners will not sanction anywhere near that amount for new players according to Professor Rogan Taylor at the University of Liverpool's Football Industry Group.",
"The Americans' takeover of the Red Devils placed the club in $1,100m of debt, according to the holding companies' accounts of 2009; a situation that requires careful management.",
"\"The refinancing at Manchester United is structured in a very complex way but ultimately the economic difficulties now mean that there will be a reduction in Alex Ferguson's transfer budget,\" he told CNN.",
"\"Although some of the funds from the Ronaldo transfer will go back into the club's coffers there will be a tightening of the purse strings which will seriously impact on United's capacity to go after the top players.",
"\"Certainly, Ferguson would have wanted a top-class replacement for Ronaldo but with the need to keep the debt in order and -- being unable to compete with Real Madrid and Manchester City -- the funds available and the pool of players from which they can sign is a lot smaller.\"",
"Liverpool's situation is even more acute as American co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, through their company Kop Holdings, struggle to secure the finances to fund the club's proposed new stadium.",
"A deal to refinance their $570m Royal Bank of Scotland loan appears to have been secured, but the long-term sustainability of the idea used to purchase Liverpool is serious under question.",
"Will Liverpool and Manchester United splash the cash in the transfer market despite the financial problems?",
"Who would you like to see them sign?",
"Let us know your comments in the 'Sound off' box below.",
"Professor Taylor added: \"The whole model on which Hicks and Gillett bought Liverpool is flawed and Rafael Benitez may have to sell Javier Mascherano or Xabi Alonso before he can go out and spend during the close season.",
"\"Even then there is no certainty he will get the whole amount from the sale of either of those players back in the transfer kitty so it promises to be a difficult period for Liverpool as obviously expectation has been raised following last season's second-place finish.",
"\"The need to refinance the debt remains key to the American owners remaining in control of the club so that will be their priority -- at the expense of matters on the pitch.\"",
"Jon Keen deputy chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, and an expert in the field of club governance and ownership, admitted the situation at both clubs will stir up further resentment among fans towards their owners.",
"\"The current refinancing situation in the top-flight is like a financial house cards which could come crashing down at any time,\" he told CNN.",
"\"We have already seen a situation unravel with the banking system which has angered a lot of people and something similar could well happen with football in the near future.",
"\"Ultimately fans want to see money raised from sales of players either put back into the transfer pot or levied against their own costs of attending matches, not simply servicing huge amounts of debt as is the case with Manchester United and Liverpool at the moment.",
"\"There needs to be a reality check about the way these clubs are operating.",
"Certainly, I think the current economic climate will drastically reduce the spending power of clubs in the Premier League with the exception perhaps of Manchester City.\"",
"Of course, this contrasts with Spain's Real Madrid who have recently splashed almost $300m on Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema -- and are not finished yet if president Florentino Perez is to be believed.",
"The construction magnate and his powerful board are able to wield influence with banks and allow Real to secure credit on favorable terms which, combined with a lucrative domestic television rights deal, puts them in a stronger financial position.",
"Ultimately this appears to have precipitated a shift away from the English Premier League to La Liga for the world's best players as Spain becomes the preferred destination of choice.",
"Whether Real can convert this into a challenge to the recent English domination of the UEFA Champions League on the pitch remains to be seen."

"(CNN) -- Carlos Tevez is wanted by clubs in Spain and Italy as well as England's Premier League should Manchester United choose to show him the door when his loan deal expires at the end of the month.",
"Argentine striker Tevez is still hoping Manchester United will offer him a new deal at the end of the month.",
"Argentine international striker Tevez is clearly frustrated at United manager Alex Ferguson's failure to open talks regarding a permanent transfer to the defending Champions League finalists.",
"On Sunday Tevez ran in the direction of Ferguson and United chief executive David Gill and cupped his hands to his ears after scoring in the 2-0 win over Manchester City that left the club on the brink of another Premier League title.",
"The 25-year-old still hopes for a positive response, but said at the weekend that he expects to leave the club at the end of his two-year loan contract .",

"There are interested clubs from all those countries.",
"\"He already said he would like to stay in the Premier League because he likes football in the country, so he fortunately will decide where he will play.",

"Ruocco said: \"There was no will from the directors and the coach to sign a new contract.",

"However, Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian stressed the striker would not rush to a decision over his future before the season ends.",

"\"There's a lot of interest in Carlos, but Carlos has always been very focused and very concentrated,\" Joorabchian told Sky Sports News.",
"\"For the respect of the team, the manager, the club, and the fans, we have to stay focused on finishing the season on a high.",
"\"This is how he's always been. He wants to do the best he can.",
"He will let the season finish and then sit down and evaluate the situation.\"",
"Joorabchian indicated Tevez would \"move on and think about his own future\" if there is no movement by United to sign him permanently, with a move to another English club a desirable option.",
"\"What he wants to do is to go to a club which has real ambition, a real focus, to be champions of England, champions of Europe, champions of everywhere,\" Joorabchian said.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Airline pilots who want to skip certain airport screening measures -- saying it's wasteful to search pilots for sharp objects when they can bring down planes with their bare hands -- are finally getting their way.",
"The Transportation Security Administration announced Friday that it is taking steps to streamline screening for U.S. airline pilots.",
"Pilots traveling in uniform on airline business will be allowed to bypass normal security screening by presenting screeners with their airline ID and another form of identification, the TSA said.",
"The screeners will check the information against a secure, real-time airline crew member database, which includes a picture and other information to verify the pilots' employment status, the TSA said.",
"Pilots will be subject to random screening and other layers of security, the TSA said.",
"The TSA said the changes will take effect immediately while it phases in a more permanent system.",
"Pilots have long argued that it is a waste of costly security resources to check pilots for restricted objects.",
"Thousands of pilots, they note, are licensed to carry firearms in cockpits under the government's Federal Flight Deck Officer program.",
"Time spent checking pilots would be better spent checking others, they say.",
"\"Airline pilots are the last line of defense against someone who would use an airplane for ill. And we need to be a trusted partner in our security efforts,\" retired U.S. Airways pilot Chelsey \"Sully\" Sullenberger told CNN earlier this week.",
"\"You know, many pilots are already armed as deputized and trained flight deck officers to defend the cockpit.",
"And so really it's a waste of our limited resources to put airline pilots who are trusted partners in this through this screening.\"",
"TSA Administrator John Pistole said the change \"just makes for smart security and an efficient use of our resources.\"",
"The change also will likely squelch pilot complaints about going through full-body scanners, some of which emit low levels of radiation.",
"The TSA says the scanners are safe, exposing people to about the same amount of radiation they would get by flying for about two minutes at altitude.",
"But pilots have become alarmed by some doctors who say not enough is known about the machines.",
"Recently, a pilots union encouraged its members to avoid the devices.",
"On Friday, pilots unions called the announcement a welcome change.",
"For the past three years, the TSA has tested an electronic pilot identification screening system called CrewPASS, or Crew Personnel Advanced Screening System.",
"The TSA said Friday that CrewPASS will continue to operate at the test sites: Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International, Pittsburgh International, and Columbia (S.C.) Metropolitan airports."

"FBI agents questioned Gulet Mohamed after his plane landed at Dulles International Airport in suburban Washington early Friday, said his attorney, Gadeir Abbas.",
"That questioning ended, and the teen was subsequently cleared through customs.",
"Mohamed's family greeted him with balloons and a dozen roses.",
"Mohamed's lawyers argued that as a U.S. citizen, Mohamed had a right to be in the United States, and that the government had provided no reason for including him on the no-fly list.",
"Federal prosecutors later told a judge they were making arrangements to allow the teenager to return to the United States.",
"Mohamed, a Muslim-American from Alexandria, Virginia, is suing the U.S. government over the alleged detention.",
"Mohamed had been trapped in Kuwait for nearly a month, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Virginia.",
"No-fly lists were set up to protect Americans against potential threats.",
"They are designed to prevent terrorist suspects from boarding planes to and from the United States.",

"Abbas is a staff attorney for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.",
"\"Mohamed, who was previously prevented from boarding a flight to the United States, has alleged that he was tortured while in detention in Kuwait and has faced unconstitutional coercion to answer questions by FBI agents who ignored his repeated requests for legal representation,\" the statement also said.",
"Mohamed's return came after a hearing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.",
"Judge Anthony J. Trenga told the government that it should make arrangements to allow Mohamed to return unless it could produce evidence against him.",
"The lawsuit says Mohamed came to the United States from Somalia with his family when he was 3, grew up in Virginia and is now a naturalized citizen.",

"He started his journey in Sanaa, Yemen, but then moved to Somalia, where he stayed with relatives for several months.",
"By August he was on his way to Kuwait where an uncle took him in so he could continue his Arabic studies, the suit says.",
"Mohamed followed proper travel procedures, according to the lawsuit, renewing his visitor's visa twice during his stay in Kuwait.",
"But when he went to Kuwait's international airport last December to get another 90-day extension, he waited several hours.",
"The lawsuit says Mohamed wrote an e-mail to his brother in Virginia while he waited, saying the process was taking longer than usual.",

"According to the lawsuit, Mohamed says he was approached at the airport by two men who handcuffed and blindfolded him.",

"Mohamed claims he was beaten, tortured and interrogated over the next week.",
"The lawsuit describes him being whipped, threatened with electrocution and questioned by captors who had private information about his family in the United States .",

"His lawyers say Kuwaiti officials tried to deport Mohamed but were unable to do so because the United States had placed him on the no-fly list.",
"A U.S. official confirmed to CNN that Mohamed is on the list, but would not explain why.",

"POTTSVILLE, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- A fomer Pennsylvania high school football player was acquitted of murder Friday in the beating death of a Mexican immigrant last summer.",
"Luis Ramirez died of blunt force injuries after a confrontation with a group of Pennsylania teens.",
"However, a Schuylkill County jury found Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak guilty of simple assault stemming from the death of Luis Ramirez, who died of blunt force injuries to the head after a fight with the defendants and their friends.",
"Donchak, 19, was also found guilty of providing alcohol to the group of teens that encountered Ramirez the night of July 12 on a residential street in the rural mining town of Shenandoah.",
"Both teens were acquitted of ethnic intimidation charges.",
"Prosecutors alleged the teens baited the undocumented Mexican immigrant into a fight with racial epithets, provoking an exchange of punches and kicks that ended with Ramirez convulsing in the street, foaming from the mouth.",
"He died two days later in a hospital in Danville.",
"Piekarsky, 17, had faced a charge of third-degree murder for allegedly delivering a fatal kick to Ramirez's head after he was knocked to the ground.",
"He also was found not guilty of ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault and attempting to solicit a cover-up.",
"An all-white jury of six men and six women heard from several prosecution witnesses, including a juvenile co-defendant and another teen who pleaded guilty in federal court for his role in the fight.",
"While the jury heard conflicting accounts about who initiated the encounter or delivered the final kick to Ramirez's head, defense lawyers attempted to place the blame on another co-defendant, who is facing charges in juvenile court, and Colin Walsh, who has pleaded guilty to violating Ramirez's civil rights.",
"The juvenile admitted on the stand to shouting \"go home you Mexican [expletive]\" after the first fight dispersed, prompting Ramirez to turn back and attack him.",
"The juvenile's testimony was corroborated by Walsh, who admitted to punching Ramirez and knocking him to the ground after he charged the juvenile.",
"Both witnesses said Piekarsky delivered the final blow to Ramirez's head while he was on the ground, but others testified that they couldn't be certain who had actually kicked him.",
"The incident drew national attention to the small town of Shenandoah, highlighting issues of race relations.",

"(CNN) -- The head of the company at the center of a toxic spill in Hungary has been arrested, accused of public endangerment and harming the environment, authorities said Monday.",
"Earlier, executive Zoltan Bakonyi had been questioned by authorities.",
"Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, told CNN affiliate MTV that he favored strong government intervention against Bakonyi's aluminum company, MAL Co. \"I proposed appointing a state commissioner to exercise control over the company who should manage the company and its assets until the tasks stemming from the disaster have been fulfilled,\" he said.",
"\"I ask the parliament to accept the proposal.",
"The company should be put under state control and its assets under state closure.\"",
"Much of the red sludge has been removed or diluted in the town of Devecer.",
"Residents watched Monday as emergency workers and soldiers walked past in full biohazard suits.",
"Military trucks and cars used to decontaminate the area came through the streets, spraying away the dark red dust that accumulates.",
"Workers told CNN that they have been diluting the mud and removing it constantly.",
"Meanwhile, an eighth victim of the sludge has been found, said Gyorgyi Tottos, an official with Hungary's emergency services department.",
"\"We have found a body near Kolontar that is likely to be the missing person, who would be the eighth victim,\" she told CNN.",
"\"The identification process is ongoing, but we think this is the person who's been missing.\"",
"Five European Union experts are due to arrive in Hungary on Monday to find out how badly toxic sludge has damaged the environment and advise on decontamination, the European Union said.",
"And Hungarian authorities continue frantically building dikes in case the dam holding the sludge breaks further, the government said Monday.",
"A \"large section\" of the dam is still showing signs of ruptures, the government said in a statement, meaning there is a \"continuing risk of a possible spill.\"",
"The area has been evacuated, and soldiers were on standby Sunday, an official said.",
"The cracked wall is expected to collapse, Tottos told CNN on Sunday.",
"\"We know that it will happen,\" she said, although when is unknown.",
"About 800 people have been evacuated from the village of Kolontar, leaving it essentially empty, she said.",
"Hundreds of soldiers were ready to rescue inhabitants of a nearby village if the wall collapses.",
"A 50-centimeter (19-inch) crack has developed in the wall of the aluminum plant reservoir.",
"If the wall collapses, 500,000 cubic meters of toxic red sludge could spill out.",
"That's about half the amount that spilled last Monday, inundating Kolontar and two other villages.",
"In addition to the eight people known to have been killed, more than 100 were injured.",
"Hungary's state-owned MTI news agency quoted Zoltan Illes, state secretary of environment, as saying the damaged wall could not be saved.",
"Specialists had tried to reinforce the wall Saturday.",
"Orban, the prime minister, who was visiting the stricken area Saturday, said it was \"very likely\" the reservoir wall will collapse.",
"\"It's in very bad shape, and our estimation is that that wall could fall down,\" Orban told reporters in the town of Ajka.",
"\"One consequence is that human lives could be in danger.",
"That's the reason why we pulled out ... all human lives from that area, in order not to have more loss in human life.\"",
"The sludge from last Monday's spill reached Europe's mighty Danube river Thursday, raising fears of wider contamination in Hungary and countries downstream, including Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and the Ukraine.",
"But water test results released Friday indicated the sludge may not harm the Danube after all.",
"The pH, or acidity, level of the Danube water was 8.5 Friday -- slightly above normal but not dangerous and able to sustain life, Tottos said.",
"Readings of pH range from 0 to 14.",
"Levels lower than 7 characterize acids, and levels higher than 7 denote bases; highly acidic or highly basic water can harm living things.",
"The 8.5 pH level and fast-moving currents made officials optimistic that a natural disaster can be avoided, Tottos said.",
"However, on Sunday she said that while saving lives is the priority, officials remain concerned about the long-term effects of the spill and want to protect Europe's waterways.",
"But, she said, it's too soon to tell what those effects might be.",
"\"What happened on Monday has never happened before in Europe, so we will see,\" she said, \"and we will try to avoid a bigger new catastrophe.\"",
"The environmental disaster occurred near Ajka, nearly 100 miles west of Budapest.",
"The sludge covered the villages of Kolontar, Devecser, and Somlovasarhely, in some places reaching several feet high, leaving dead animals such as fish and frogs in its wake.",
"The aluminum company, MAL Co., said in a statement Saturday it was doing its utmost \"to avoid further damages and to reinforce the injured deposit.\"",
"The company maintains it has performed extensive maintenance work and renovations in the past decade and had followed safety regulations.",
"The company was working to construct dams and defense lines in an attempt to minimize damage, it said.",
"It has also established a relief fund for victims of the spill and was attempting to help in finding accommodations for evacuated people.",
"More than 1,100 residents of Ajka and the surrounding towns are MAL employees, it said.",
"Orban warned Saturday of the \"toughest possible consequences\" for those responsible for the spill and said human error was the cause.",
"\"Behind this tragedy, some human errors and mistakes must exist,\" he said.",
"\"We will reveal all of that, and the consequences will be very serious -- as much as you can imagine.\"",
"The exact chemical composition of the sludge has not been revealed, but aluminum processing normally involves compounds that include cyanide, cadmium and chromium.",
"Emergency workers have been pouring plaster and fertilizers on the sludge in hopes that it will counter its alkalinity.",
"Dust from sludge that dries may also pose a threat, Hungary's Interior Ministry has said.",
"It said some workers involved in damage cleanup may need filtering masks.",
"CNN's Antonia Mortensen, Eileen Hsieh, Diana Magnay, Brian Walker and Bharati Naik, and journalist Flora Hevesi contributed to this report."

"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Christine King Farris was sewing an Easter dress for her daughter in their Atlanta home one rainy April evening when the nightly news was interrupted by a special report.",
"A lone survivor, Farris, 80, is writing a memoir about life with her brother called \"Through It All.\"",
"The newscaster announced that Farris' younger brother, the Rev.",
"Martin Luther King Jr., had been shot in Memphis, Tennessee.",
"Another update came minutes later: King was in critical condition.",
"\"It was a horrible moment,\" Farris said of that night in 1968.",
"\"I tried to call my sister-in-law; the lines were busy.",
"I tried to call my parents; the lines were busy.",
"I couldn't get anybody.\"",
"While boarding a plane for Memphis, Farris learned that her brother was dead.",
"It was the beginning of a string of family tragedies.",
"Her only surviving sibling, younger brother A.D., drowned the next summer.",
"Her mother, Alberta, was shot dead five years later while playing the \"Lord's Prayer\" on an organ in church on Sunday morning.",
"Farris raises her hands in bewilderment when she contemplates the losses.",
"\"I think of the things that I've faced in my life, and sometimes I question how I'm still here,\" Farris, 80, said in her office at Spelman College, surrounded by photographs of her famous brother and other civil rights leaders she once knew.",
"\"I'm the lone survivor in my family,\" Farris said.",
"This year, the civil rights community will gather in Memphis on April 4 to mark the 40th anniversary of King's assassination, but Farris will not join them.",
"She is talking publicly about the death of her younger brother for the first time, but a return to Memphis is not part of her agenda.",
"\"I can't go,\" she said. \"I've not been there since the time we went to gather my brother.",
"My memory of Memphis is not a pleasant one.",
"It's one that I cannot erase.\" Farris is remembering her brother in another way.",
"She is writing a memoir about her life with him called \"Through It All.\"",
"A formal and reserved woman, Farris has spent the past year delving into her ugliest memories.",
"\"It's been a real challenge,\" she said.",
"\"I've had to relive those moments.",
"Sometimes it affects me more than others.",
"I try to live with it.\" She says it's important for her to push past those painful memories, because she wants to humanize her younger brother.",
"Everyone has heard about King, the civil rights icon.",
"She wants to strip away those platitudes to reveal the playful brother she knew.",
"\"He was normal as a person could be,\" she said.",
"\"I really want people to understand that.",
"I want people not to think of him as some mythic character from out of space.\"",
"The mythic nature of King's ministry, though, is palpable in Farris' roomy office at Spelman, the predominantly black women's college where she has taught education for 49 years.",
"Farris stores photos of her brother on her desktop computer as screensavers.",
"As each image shifts to another, her computer plays highlights of her brother's most famous public speeches.",
"Isaac N. Farris Jr., her only son, says his mother still plays recordings of her brother's speeches and reads his manuscripts at home.",
"They weren't just siblings. They were friends. \"She was the first one to meet Mrs. Coretta [King's wife, Coretta Scott King].",
"She lent him money for his engagement rings,\" he said.",
"\"Over the years, she's especially talked about missing the friendship they had.\"",
"The resemblance to her brother is obvious up close.",
"She has the same square face and the same measured, Baptist preacher's drawl.",
"She says she's accustomed to people staring at her when they encounter her in Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Atlanta church her brother once led that she still attends.",
"\"Sometimes people will point me out and say, 'That's Dr. King's sister,' \" she said.",
"\"And, of course, I'm immediately surrounded by people.",
"Sometimes, it's a little uncomfortable.",
"I try to be as cordial as I can.",
"... People come up and ask, 'Are you Dr. King's sister?'",
"I can't say no.\" Farris says she had no inkling that her brother would become such an iconic figure.",
"She remembers the little brother who loved playing pool, doing the jitterbug dance and telling jokes.",
"She also recalls his nickname as a young man: Tweed.",
"\"He had this tweed suit, and he loved it,\" she said, smiling.",
"\"He would wear it so much so the boys nicknamed him Tweed.\"",
"Farris' son says his mother still retains some of that playful side herself.",
"He occasionally catches her dancing around the house to contemporary R&B music.",
"\"I've seen her do the electric slide,\" he said.",
"\"She gets a kick out of it.\" When Farris' brother was thrust to the forefront of the civil rights movement, both were aware of the danger to him.",
"But they never talked about it.",
"\"When you are a part of it, you don't really take the time to sit down and think,\" she said.",
"\"It didn't really bother us too much.",
"We were conscious that it could happen, but it didn't occupy front space, so to speak.\"",
"When April 4, 1968, did come, Farris says, others stepped in to help her shoulder her grief.",
"Sen. Robert Kennedy dispatched a plane to Atlanta to take her and King's widow to Memphis.",
"Her voice remains level as she talks about the plane ride.",
"Then her eyes start to mist.",
"She says she never left the plane when it arrived.",
"She watched her brother A.D. come on the plane with the Rev.",
"Andrew Young and the Rev.",
"Ralph Abernathy, two of King's closest aides.",
"\"They were crying like babies,\" she said.",
"She says she has tried to remember when she last talked to her brother, but it's frustrating.",
"\"I've been trying to think about that.",
"He had a meeting with his staff the Saturday before he went to Memphis, but I didn't get to talk to him.",
"Then ...\" Farris halts herself in mid-sentence.",
"Then her voice trails off.",
"Her only son says his mom has been a \"rock\" for the family.",
"He says he's never seen her cry about the loss of his famous uncle.",
"The only time he remembers seeing her cry is when her remaining brother, A.D., drowned in 1969.",
"\"My mother let out a yell that still to this day brings tears to my eyes,\" he said.",
"Farris has carved out her own life of distinction.",
"She married and has two children with Isaac N. Farris Sr., an entrepreneur.",
"She's written a children's book on her brother titled \"My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up with the Rev.",
"Martin Luther King Jr.\" She's also dabbled in public speaking and served as an executive at the King Center, the Atlanta-based center devoted to the teaching of King's nonviolent philosophy.",
"Only recently, though, Farris experienced another series of losses.",
"Her brother's widow, Coretta Scott King, died two years ago from cancer.",
"And Yolanda King, her brother's oldest child, died from an apparent heart condition last year.",
"Yet she and her son shrug off any suggestion that her family, like the Kennedy clan, is somehow marked for tragedy.",
"\"God never puts on us what we can't bear,\" she said.",
"\"We never embraced that; others have,\" added her son, who is CEO of the King Center.",
"\"We have felt through it all, we're still blessed.",
"That's the way we were taught.\"",
"Forty years after her brother's untimely death, Farris will return to Memphis, but only through her memories.",
"As she sits in her office surrounded by those memories, she says it's now more urgent than ever that she add her own chapter to his story.",
"She's the only one left. \"I thought about all that I've been through and all these memories and sometimes it gets tough,\" she said.",
"\"By being the lone survivor, if I don't do this, a part of history will be left out.\""

"Concepcion, Chile (CNN) -- Aid and increased security were flowing Wednesday into hard-hit areas of Chile, but some residents complained that they still had not received food or water since Saturday's massive earthquake killed more than 800 people.",
"President Michelle Bachelet urged residents Wednesday to remain calm despite the shortages and lawlessness in Concepcion, Talcahuano and other areas of central and southern Chile.",
"For the second consecutive day, she also warned that looting will not be tolerated.",
"\"Nobody can argue that taking a refrigerator is an act of survival,\" Bachelet said.",
"\"That is simply vandalism and delinquency.\"",
"An overnight curfew remained in effect for the third day in Concepcion, the scene of the worst looting.",
"Authorities said they would take whatever steps are necessary to keep order, and 35 people were arrested for curfew violations.",
"A military presence and citizen patrols appeared to maintain order in the nation's second-largest city, though CNN's Sara Sidner said that about 10 percent of the stores in the downtown business district appeared to have been looted.",
"\"There was a moment when this was no-man's land,\" one resident said.",

"The aid, she told CNN Chile, would be distributed in areas where there has been little or no looting.",
"Concepcion is less than 10 miles inland from Talcahuano, but the two towns suffered far different fates.",
"In Concepcion, the fatalities and injuries were largely the result of buildings that collapsed.",
"In coastal Talcahuano, the damage was caused by a tsunami that roared into town about an hour after the quake.",
"When the waters receded, they left large boats stranded inland.",
"In spot, four shrimping vessels lay in a heap, stacked on top of each other.",

"\"Fortunately enough, we had the collaboration of the government and the army,\" Michael Black said from Santiago.",
"He credited the extension of the curfew from 6 p.m. until noon.",
"\"What emergency operations are doing is, they're trying to arrive with supplies through the city of Concepcion during the curfew,\" he said.",
"\"That has worked really well.\"",
"Among the items distributed by the Christian humanitarian group were 10,000 blankets, 5,000 liters of water, 3 tons of food and thousands of sleeping bags, he said.",
"Santiago, which suffered damage from the quake but was well on its way to recovery Wednesday, is about 270 miles (435 km) northeast of Concepcion.",
"Concerns about the safety of those buildings that were damaged in the quake were heightened Wednesday afternoon, when a 5.6-magnitude aftershock struck 30 miles south southwest of Valparaiso, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.",
"Residents in coastal cities in Chile started to evacuate Wednesday after officials in the fishing village of Dichato and in the city Concepcion warned of a possible tsunami and said they had one hour to leave low-lying areas.",

"\"I would say that the next three months will be a time of fear and sadness.\"",
"\"Basically, we are all under great stress,\" Dr. Matias Gonzalez, a psychiatrist at the University of Chile.",
"\"People are afraid; they want to protect their families, and they function emotionally, not rationally.\"",
"The minister of public works said the country's major highways are open and no part of the country is isolated.",
"In addition, Sergio Bitar said, air connections were being re-established, ports were being fixed, and food and fuel supplies were sufficient.",
"\"There is public order,\" he said.",
"\"It was a giant earthquake, but we are handling it well.\"",
"But Chile's economy, considered by many the most competitive in Latin America, also has taken a hit.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- A legal battle has put the future of Skype in jeopardy, according to eBay, which owns the online communications system.",
"Skype's online phone and video communication service has been incredibly popular.",
"If Skype loses the right to use a key part of its software and can't create an adequate replacement, \"Skype's business as currently conducted would likely not be possible,\" eBay said in its quarterly filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.",
"There is no sign of Skype disappearing soon -- a relief to the more than 480 million registered users who have video or telephone conversations online through the technology.",
"But the battle with Joltid, the company that created the piece of technology at issue, shows no sign of being resolved anytime soon, either.",
"Joltid complains that Skype broke its licensing agreement to use the technology.",
"Skype filed suit against Joltid in Britain, saying it could not terminate the license agreement; Joltid struck back with a counterclaim saying Skype had broken the agreement.",
"A trial is scheduled for June 2010, eBay said in the SEC filing.",
"\"Although Skype is confident of its legal position, as with any litigation, there is the possibility of an adverse result if the matter is not resolved through negotiation,\" eBay writes.",
"\"Skype has begun to develop alternative software to that licensed through Joltid.",
"However, such software development may not be successful, may result in loss of functionality or customers even if successful, and will in any event be expensive.\"",
"In an e-mail to CNN, Joltid said Skype \"accessed Joltid's source code and modified it -- Joltid then claimed a breach of license.\"",

"(CNN) -- The man suspected to be at the center of the plot to send bombs from Yemen to the United States is a Saudi national who authorities believe has been living in Yemen for the past three years.",
"Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri is one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted men, according to a list published by the government last year.",
"The Saudi government described al-Asiri as an explosives and poison expert.",
"On Friday, authorities in the United Arab Emirates and Britain found two packages with explosives that were destined for synagogues in Chicago, Illinois.",
"U.S. investigators believe al Qaeda bomb maker al-Asiri, 28, is linked to the packages.",
"The explosive found in the packages, PETN, is the same as the material found in the December 2009 foiled underwear bomb attack in the United States.",
"It's a highly explosive organic compound that belongs to the same chemical family as nitroglycerin.",
"Six grams of PETN are enough to blow a hole in the fuselage of an aircraft.",
"Al-Asiri was also suspected in the earlier attempted bombing case, where a Nigerian man, Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, is accused of trying to set off a bomb hidden in his underwear on a flight.",
"Al-Asiri's brother, Abdullah, also appeared on the Saudi Arabia's most wanted list.",
"According to press accounts, it was Ibrahim al-Asiri who lured his brother to the jihadist movement.",
"In 2009, Abdullah al-Asiri died when he detonated a bomb on his body with the intent of assassinating Saudi Prince Muhammed Bin Naif, a top security official.",
"The suicide bombing attempt failed to kill its target.",
"A few days after that attempt, the Watan newspaper in Saudi Arabia interviewed al-Asiri's mother and sisters.",
"Their mother described Ibrahim and Abdullah as regular teenagers growing up.",
"\"They were not religious boys at the time.",
"They used to listen to music and had a wide variety of friends, friends not like the ones they had later when they became more religious,\" she told Watan.",
"One of their sisters told the newspaper that the death of their brother Ali in a car accident in 2000 was a turning point in Ibrahim and Abdullah's attitude.",
"\"It was after that that they started swapping video tapes and cassettes on the Mujahedeen in Chechnya and Afghanistan, and they became at times distant,\" the sister said.",
"\"Abdullah started to go out a lot with his new friends to camps known as 'preaching camps.'\"",
"Ibrahim at one point was arrested in 2003 while trying with others to enter Iraq to wage jihad, his family told Watan.",
"He was held in prison for nine months.",
"Also shortly after the attempt against the Saudi prince's life, the Saudi Gazette newspaper spoke with Ibrahim and Abdullah's father, who shed some more light on the young men's upbringing.",
"The family grew up in the Al-Jazira district of east Riyadh, he said, describing theirs as a pious family.",
"\"We were living in Makkah two years ago and were planning to move back to Riyadh, but Abdullah and Ibrahim said they wanted to go to Medina before coming back with us,\" the father, Hassan, told the newspaper last year.",
"\"Abdullah later contacted us to say he was out of the country, but didn't say where, and from that day on we had no more news of him until we saw his and his brother's pictures a few months ago in the media as on the list of wanted people.\"",

"Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) -- At Russia's urging, the U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Sunday morning aimed at defusing simmering tensions in the Korean peninsula.",
"The meeting will take place at 11 a.m.",
"ET on Sunday, a day after Russia had originally wanted to meet, its ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said in a statement.",
"Churkin blamed the U.S. delegation -- which this month heads up the security council -- for the one-day delay, adding, \"We assume that nothing will happen in the interim that would bring about further aggravation.\"",
"New Mexico Gov.",
"Bill Richardson, a former prominent U.S. diplomat now in the middle of an unofficial four-day trip meeting with high-level Pyongyang officials, applauded the development as something that could help skirt further military escalation.",
"\"It's a very, very tense situation, a crisis situation,\" Richardson told CNN's Wolf Blitzer from Pyongyang.",
"\"This is when the U.N. Security Council can be most effective.\"",
"The former U.S. energy secretary and ambassador to the United Nations met Sunday morning for one-and-a-half hours with Maj. Gen. Pak Rim Su, who leads North Korean forces in the demilitarized zone along the South Korean border.",
"He called it a \"very tough meeting\" that included \"some progress.\"",
"Richardson told CNN that Pak was receptive to his proposal that a military hotline be set up between North Korean and South Korean forces, in order to address issues should an incident occur.",
"Pak was also open to the governor's idea for a military commission -- with representatives from North Korea, South Korea and the United States -- to monitor disputed areas in and around the Yellow Sea.",
"The goal, Richardson said, would be to address issues before they flared into larger confrontations.",
"The North Korean general, separately, told Richardson that the remains of several hundred U.S. servicemen killed about six decades ago during the Korean War had recently been recovered, showing the governor pictures of some of them and a dog tag from one soldier.",
"Pak then offered to resume joint recovery efforts with the United States.",
"\"It was a positive gesture,\" Richardson said.",
"Still, the governor said that the U.N. Security Council's meeting on Sunday might be an even more significant development when it comes to the regional crisis.",
"He called China's recent statements on and Russia's leadership on the issue a positive -- saying he hoped that the council might issue a statement \"urging all sides to exercise maximum restraint (and to) cool things down.\"",
"The Security Council has five permanent members in China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.",
"There are also 10 rotating members, which are currently Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovinia, Brazil, Gabon, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey and Uganda.",
"The United States, as well as Russia and Japan, have been key international players in the crisis, and Chinese officials have also conducted a series of high-level talks with North Korean and South Korean officials.",
"On Saturday, Chinese Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun reiterated his nation's strong desire to avert war, which he said would be devastating for both Korean nations and the region as a whole, according to state-run news agency Xinhua.",
"Richardson came to North Korea at the invitation of its top nuclear negotiator as a private citizen -- with the knowledge of but not as a representative of the U.S. government -- amidst one of the region's most serious crises since the 1953 Korean War armistice.",
"North Korea says that its South Korean counterparts are instigating tensions with planned live military exercises on and around the disputed Yeonpyeong Island.",
"Seoul cited bad weather as its reason for pushing back the drills a day or two, which were originally scheduled between December 18 and 21, South Korea's official Yonhap News Agency reported.",
"Saying the exercises would be in \"the inviolable territorial waters\" of North Korea, the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency warned Saturday that its forces \"will deal the second and third unpredictable self-defensive blow\" if the drills proceed.",
"Such strikes, according to the agency, would be \"deadlier ... in terms of the powerfulness and sphere\" than its November 23 shelling of Yeonpyeong Island that left four South Koreans dead.",
"Noting that North Korea is \"very, very provoked by this potential incident,\" Richardson said he hoped that a strong statement from the United Nations council might spur Seoul to cancel the drills and \"give both sides cover\" to tamp down their rhetoric and actions.",
"Pak was the first non-political official to talk to Richardson, who earlier said he had a \"good meeting\" with the North's chief nuclear negotiator Kim Gye Gwan and also met with the vice minister of North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday.",
"Both Koreas have traded tough talk and conducted aggressive military drills in the weeks after the Yeonpyeong Island incident.",

"(CNN) -- Tuvalu, the fourth smallest nation on the planet, has announced it aims to be totally powered by renewable energy sources by 2020.",
"Tuvalu hopes to set an example to bigger nations by relying totally on clean energy by 2020.",
"Located between Hawaii and Australia, the tiny Pacific nation is one of the world's climate change hotspots and many believe it is already seeing the negative affects of rising sea levels.",
"The highest elevation on the island is just 4.5 meters (14.8 feet), and king tides have become increasingly damaging over the past 10 years, threatening the homes and livelihoods of its 12,000 inhabitants.",
"The government of Tuvalu is working with the e8, a consortium of 10 energy firms from the G8 nations that was set up after the 1992 Rio Earth Summit as a non-profit organization.",
"The Tuvalu government estimates that it will take around $20 million in investment to reach the goal of 100 percent clean energy by 2020.",
"The first stage of the project has seen the roof of the country's largest football stadium covered in solar panels, which supplies 5 percent of the electricity needed by the nation's capital, Funafuti.",
"According to e8 figures, after 14 months in operation the solar stadium has reduced consumption of generator fuel shipped from New Zealand by 17,000 tons and saved 50 tons of CO2 from being released in the atmosphere.",
"A further benefit is the reduced risk of diesel spills around the atoll's reefs.",
"\"There may be other larger solar power installations in the world, but none could be more meaningful to customers than this one,\" said Takao Shiraishi, general manager of the Kansai Electric Power Company that helped implement the scheme.",
"\"The plight of Tuvalu versus the rising tide vividly represents the worst early consequence of climate change.",
"For Tuvalu, after 3,000 years of history, the success of UN climate talks in Copenhagen this December may well be a matter of national survival,\" he said in a press statement.",
"The next scheme is building a solar power system for a secondary school on Vaitupu, one of the outer islands.",
"\"We thank those who are helping Tuvalu reduce its carbon footprint as it will strengthen our voice in upcoming international negotiations.",
"And we look forward to the day when our nation offers an example to all -- powered entirely by natural resources such as the sun and the wind,\" said Kausea Natano, Tuvalu's minister for public utilities and industries."

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- A group of African scientists last week called on rich nations to help stem the tide of African talent leaving the continent's universities.",
"Dr. Francess Ayaebene, who runs a clinic in rural Nigeria, wanted to update her knowledge of tropical medicine.",
"In a statement the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) urged developed nations to establish training programs that would allow African research students to stay in Africa or study in other developing countries.",
"One program that may prove key to curbing the flight of the skilled health professionals from the developing world is the distance learning course at the UK's London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.",
"The school, a world leader in global health education and research started the course to allow health professionals to enhance their skills and knowledge at their own pace and in their own country.",
"Dr. Francess Ayaebene, a physician in rural Nigeria, earned a diploma through the distance learning course offered.",
"Dr. Ayaebene directs a clinic in Shendam, a rural area in central Nigeria where nurses and health services are in short supply.",
"She wanted a refresher on tropical medicine and also hopes the additional training will help her gain entry into the world of government.",
"\"I want to improve my country and go into politics to influence policy making when it comes to health matters,\" she told CNN.",
"Some 2,500 students are enrolled in the London school's distance learning program, which offers Master's degrees and graduate diplomas in infectious diseases, public health and clinical trials.",
"\"We don't train people for the brain drain.",
"We train people very much to make a contribution to their own countries,\" said Andrew Haines, the director of the London School.",
"A complex set of factors contribute to brain drain, and while it's too early to say that distance learning has had an impact on the trend, Haines believes it can make a contribution to retaining people in their home countries.",
"\"When I speak to distance learning students, many of them say this has opened up an opportunity that otherwise wouldn't have come to them -- to stay in their own countries and at the same time access teaching materials of an international quality,\" he said.",
"The program offers a flexibility that meets the wide range of needs of learners these days, providing access to specialized training to those who cannot leave their home country due to financial constraints or professional commitments.",
"A sign of the course's popularity: Nearly three times as many students participate in the distance program than actually come to study at the school in London.",
"The program also is getting a boost from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which awarded the London School a $1 million prize for excellence in global health this year.",
"The Gates Award for Global Health, which is awarded annually to an organization that makes exceptional contributions to international health, will be used partly to developing new courses, providing scholarships and offering support for distance learning students.",
"Distance education is by no means novel, but instructors say the London School program is particularly enhanced for students in the developing world and unique in its international audience.",
"Students from around the world participate in the program, with roughly 40 percent of students based in countries in Africa and a good proportion in Southeast Asia, said Sharon Huttly, the dean of studies.",
"While Internet access has improved considerably since the distance learning program began in 1998, many students enrolled in the program still live in areas where bandwidth is poor and connections are slow.",
"\"One of our biggest challenges is trying to deliver something that is still accessible and suitable to a student who is sitting somewhere that's got very poor Internet access but also is suitable for a student sitting somewhere who's got every gadget and high-speed bandwidth available to them,\" Huttly said.",
"At the core of the program are self-study materials which students follow at their own pace.",
"These materials are complemented with electronic mechanisms like Web chat boards that allow students to interact with each other and tutors.",
"Dr. Ayaebene hopes that as well as distance learning programs, governments will encourage more doctors to practice in rural areas to improve public services.",
"\"There are not enough nurses and ambulance services,\" she said about the region where she works.",
"\"The government needs to push more doctors to rural areas.",
"The hospitals -- they will not run themselves.\""

"Washington (CNN) -- President Obama marked the one-year anniversary of his controversial economic stimulus plan Wednesday, declaring the $862 billion package an unequivocal success that has created or saved millions of jobs.",
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of Obama's cabinet also fanned out across the country in a slew of separate events designed to amplify the president's claims.",
"Republican opponents belittled the president's assertion, and characterized the plan as a massive waste-filled Washington special-interest giveaway that expanded the deficit while failing to slow rising unemployment.",
"The radically different claims reflected the high political stakes tied to the public perception of what many observers consider the signature legislative achievement of Obama's first year in office.",
"\"We have rescued this economy from the worst of this crisis,\" Obama said at the White House.",
"\"We acted because failure to do so would have led to catastrophe.",
"We acted because we had a larger responsibility than simply winning the next election.",
"We had a responsibility to do what was right.\"",
"The measure \"was never intended to save every job,\" he said.",
"\"Businesses are the true engine of growth [and] always will be.",
"But during a recession ... what government can do is provide a temporary boost.\"",
"The program, he said, has \"run cleanly, smoothly and transparently.\"",
"Vice President Joe Biden, the administration's point man on implementation of the plan, argued that \"without any question\" the package is working and \"laying the foundation\" for long-term economic growth.",
"\"We know times are [still] tough for too many people,\" he said.",
"But there is \"no reason we're not going to come out of this [downturn] stronger than when we went into it.\"",
"The bulk of the money initially allocated for the plan has not actually been spent yet.",
"Through the end of January, roughly $334 billion in spending has been approved, of which $179 billion has actually left federal coffers.",
"Another $119 billion has gone to tax cuts.",
"The federal government now expects to distribute $32 billion in stimulus funds per month, up from an average $27 billion a month over the past year, according to Biden.",
"Now that the economy is no longer in free fall, the mix of spending will change, senior administration officials said.",
"Until this point, the bulk of the spending has been on tax relief and direct aid, such as unemployment benefits.",
"To date, only $31 billion has been spent on projects such as infrastructure, high-speed rail, broadband and health technology.",
"But in the second phase of the act, the amount of money going to these initiatives will more than double to $7 billion a month as work on them ramps up.",
"The administration views this spending as setting the stage for a lasting expansion.",
"\"Many projects are just now getting under way, and will be creating jobs throughout 2010 and beyond,\" Biden said earlier this week.",

"Much of this spending -- such as Medicaid funding and additional unemployment benefits -- was meant to stabilize the economy during the recession.",
"The administration will reach its goal to disburse 70 percent of the Recovery Act funds, or $551 billion, by September 30, senior administration officials said.",
"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently hiked the cost estimate of the stimulus plan to $862 billion, though the administration still uses the original $787 billion figure.",

"Obama teased congressional Republicans on Wednesday for slamming the plan \"even as many of them show up for ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects in their districts\" funded by the act.",
"In the final quarter of last year, the Recovery Act directly funded nearly 600,000 jobs, according to the Web site Recovery.gov.",
"The figure is based on about 160,000 reports from state, local and corporate recipients who have spent $57.9 billion in stimulus money.",
"It does not tally jobs created indirectly through companies buying supplies for stimulus projects, people spending their tax cuts, increased unemployment benefits and the like.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- If riding on top of a Mexican freight train while bandits lie in wait, or inviting real-life gang members to improvise street battles doesn't sound like the wisest approach to making your first feature film, try telling Cary Fukunaga.",
"\"Sin Nombre\" portrays one boy's struggle to escape Mexico's gang culture set against the backdrop of the trade in illegal immigrants.",
"Because those are exactly the scrapes the 32-year-old writer-director got into during production of his highly-acclaimed debut \"Sin Nombre.\"",
"Set in Mexico against the backdrop of the country's ballooning people trafficking problem, Fukunaga's social-political thriller shows one boy's struggle to escape Mexican gang culture after meeting a Honduran immigrant girl.",
"The half-Japanese half-Swedish director decided that it would be impossible to portray street gang culture or the treacherous immigrant experience without fully immersing himself in both.",
"\"To tell a story of what it's like to travel on top of freight trains, or the camaraderie of living in a gang, are all things I could imagine maybe,\" Fukunaga told CNN.",
"\"But I wouldn't be able to get it right without meeting the people who actually experienced it, and experiencing some of that with them.\"",
"After Fukunaga first conceived \"Sin Nombre\" (which translates as \"Without a Name\") in 2005 he embarked on a mammoth research tour in order to fully understand what it is like to be both a desperate immigrant and a street gang member.",
"He spent two weeks with immigrants at a train yard in Tapachula, Mexico, before risking his life illegally riding on the roof of a train traveling across the border state of Chiapas.",
"\"People get shot, trains derail, assaults happen,\" said Fukunaga.",
"\"I had to understand that if I fell off the train and lost a limb, I could just bleed to death out there, there'd be no-one to come pick me up.\"",
"The filmmaker, who is an American citizen, was taken aback by the camaraderie among the immigrants in spite of the danger and violence.",
"\"Some of the bits of humor that would happen on the journey really surprised me,\" he told CNN.",
"\"You could laugh minutes after someone had been shot.\"",
"It is this 27-hour train ride, during which a there was a bandit attack, that forms the basis of a substantial portion of the action in \"Sin Nombre.\"",
"Fukunaga also visited members of the notoriously violent Mara Salvatrucha street gangs in jail in Mexico.",
"\"I spent about two years in two different prisons, and reduced a group of gang members down to a couple guys I could trust,\" he explained.",
"Fukunaga courted them with with gifts in the hope they would aid his research.",
"\"After bringing them grilled chickens and enough India ink and CD components so they could make tattoo guns, they felt like they could trust me enough to hook me up with one of their outside people.",
"Then they knew I wasn't just a cop.\" The end result is a starkly realistic portrayal of the Central American gangs that make their living trafficking people to the United States.",
"The film's action includes a dramatic shootout scene featuring real gang members as extras alongside actors.",
"\"All the guns had blanks,\" Fukunaga said.",
"\"I had a gun too, if I had to regulate the situation.\"",
"Not that that made the scene entirely unproblematic: \"The guy who plays the leader in that scene is a gang member,\" said Fukunaga.",
"\"Once we shot that scene he was gone.",
"I don't know where he went, and there was no way to track him down to come back in and record audio or anything.\"",
"Nevertheless, Fukunaga maintains that the characters he chose to portray are inherently likeable people.",
"\"I liked the gang members and the immigrants I met equally, and had equal respect for them\" Fukunaga said.",
"\"Some of the kids in these gangs, they seem like they're 28-years-old, but they're actually only 19.",
"They just look old because of the things they've experienced.\"",
"\"Sin Nombre\" is executive produced by acclaimed Mexican actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna.",
"It impressed judges at this year's Sundance Film Festival so much they awarded it directing and cinematography awards.",
"But even after such an ambitious and successful debut, Fukunaga is not ready to let up and his next project couldn't be more different: a musical with Arcade Fire collaborator Owen Pallett.",
"After all, he said, \"If you're just going to do a paint-by-numbers film, then what's the point?\""

"(CNN) -- Here's a hot tip: The University of North Carolina is going to win the NCAA men's basketball tournament.",
"A Georgia Tech professor's computer model suggests UNC will win this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.",
"At least that's the prediction of Joel Sokol, a Georgia Tech professor whose statistical model correctly selected the Final Four, championship game and winner of last year's tournament.",
"Be glad he's not in your office's betting pool.",
"Finding some kind of rationality in March Madness, which starts in earnest Thursday, has been an American pastime for decades.",
"Tournament brackets are everywhere, and from sports TV to the dinner table, everyone seems to have predictions about which team will claim the top spot, and why.",
"But in recent years, \"bracketology,\" as sorting out the single-elimination basketball tournament is sometimes called, has increasingly become the scientific endeavor its name suggests.",
"It's even something on which university professors and professional statisticians stake their reputations.",
"Watch Sokol explain his predictions » .",
"There are at least 40 individual people or groups using statistical models to analyze college basketball and rank its teams online, according to Kenneth Massey, whose Web site, masseyratings.com, lets users compare the analyses.",
"Anecdotal evidence suggests more people are getting in the game, perhaps because the raw data used to run the equations -- team records, point margins and the like -- is easily accessible on the Internet.",
"All of these off-shoot predictions supplement the official computer model used by the NCAA, which is called the Rating Percentage Index.",
"But a selection committee of live people still ranks teams and puts them in tournament brackets.",
"At their cores, the computer models all operate like question machines, said Jeff Sagarin, who has been doing computer ratings for USA Today since 1985.",
"Different people come up with different brackets because they're asking different questions.",
"Sagarin's equations ask three questions: \"Who did you play, where did you play and what was the result of each specific game?\"",
"The computer keeps repeating those questions in an \"infinite loop\" until it comes up with a solid answer, he said.",
"Sagarin has arranged the formula as such partly because he thinks home-court advantage is a big deal in college basketball.",
"Other models ask different questions or give the questions different weights.",
"Sokol, of Georgia Tech, for example, cares more about the win-margin than where the game was played.",
"He got into NCAA basketball prognosticating after watching his team, Georgia Tech, lose a nail-biter in 2002 when Tennessee hit a shot at the buzzer from half court.",
"Sports analysts made a big deal of the loss, he said, which seemed statistically dumb to Sokol.",
"As far as he's concerned a close game might as well be a tie -- the toss of a coin could predict the winner.",
"\"That last shot is almost meaningless,\" he said.",
"It took a few years of testing for Sokol to start believing in his computer model, which was the subject of an academic paper in 2004.",
"That year, Georgia Tech made it to the Final Four, which Sokol and colleagues had predicted.",
"\"They really kind of made us believers in our own system,\" he said.",
"Sagarin, who has one of the older and more respected prediction equations in the business, said a year or two of success does not mean a model will continue to foretell the outcome of the tournament correctly.",
"He grew up a sports junkie who was \"too skinny\" to make it big on the court or field.",
"For a time, he used his intimate knowledge of statistics and college basketball to bet on the annual NCAA tournament.",
"Buzzer-beating shots became the bane of his existence, and in 1983, after Houston lost to underdog North Carolina State on a last-second dunk in the tournament final, Sagarin gave up on betting.",
"\"Each year I try to put minor improvements in [the computer model] and test in the off-season, but that all goes out the window when guys hit three-point shots at the buzzer,\" he said.",
"\"There's a lot of luck in life.",
"Life is a series of heads and tails, and human beings try to describe rationale behind them ... when in fact it may be random.\"",
"Dan Shanoff, who blogs on sports at danshanoff.com, said gut feeling is more important than statistics, but taking a look at the numbers can never hurt.",
"In the end, he said, it's all chance.",
"\"You think you know everything about college basketball and then all of a sudden your mom is finishing ahead of you [in a tournament pool], which happens every year to me with my mom,\" he said.",
"Shanoff's gut tells him Louisville will win the men's tournament this year.",
"Sokol, of Georgia Tech, puts Louisville in the Final Four with UNC, Pittsburgh and the University of Memphis.",
"He said Michigan State and Oklahoma are ranked too high and due for an upset, statistically speaking.",
"While all of this information could be helpful for people betting on the Big Dance, Sheldon H. Jacobson, a professor of computer science at the University of Illinois, said he doesn't fill out a bracket, despite the fact that he's developed a computer model for the tournament.",
"\"I enjoy the games and I enjoy the tournament, and not filling out a bracket gives me the freedom to do that,\" he said."

"New Haven, Connecticut (CNN) -- A Connecticut doctor whose wife and two daughters were killed in a 2007 home invasion took the stand Tuesday to testify against one of the accused killers, recalling horrific details of being beaten and tied up by his alleged captors while fearing for the well-being of his family.",
"William Petit, testifying on the trial's second day in New Haven Superior Court, calmly relayed to an attentive jury the events leading up the invasion.",
"Prosecutors allege that Steven Hayes, 47, and Joshua Komisarjevsky, 30, broke into the Petit family's home in July 2007.",
"The men are said to have beaten up Petit, strangled his 48-year-old wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, and set the home ablaze.",
"The couple's two daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, died of smoke inhalation.",
"The two paroled felons are charged with capital murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, burglary and arson.",
"They both could face the death penalty if convicted.",
"Hayes is accused of raping Hawke-Petit, and prosecutors have charged Komisarjevsky, who will be tried separately, with sexually assaulting Petit's 11-year-old daughter.",
"July 22, 2007, began with Petit, his wife and Michaela attending church, Petit testified Tuesday.",
"Hayley was just returning home that day from a weekend visiting with friends.",
"Petit then played golf with his father while the girls went to the beach.",
"The plan, Petit said, was for Michaela to help her mother cook dinner that night.",
"\"Michaela loved to cook,\" said Petit, who was wearing a heart-shaped Petit Family Foundation pin on his lapel.",
"The family finished dinner and the girls settled into the family room to watch \"Army Wives\"; Petit fell asleep in the sun room while reading the Sunday paper, he said.",
"The next thing he remembers, he said, was \"thinking or feeling 'ow, ow, ow!'\"",
"as blood ran from a gash on his head.",
"\"I sort of awoke in a daze. ...",
"The next thing I knew I was seated on the middle of the sofa, with my head down (and) there was something warm running down the side of my face,\" he testified.",
"\"I saw two people standing in front of the sofa, one in front and one slightly to the rear ... and the one in the rear holding a gun, down and to his side.\"",
"While Petit said he could not clearly see the gun, he could see its form and shape, adding that \"it appeared to resemble a 9 mm semiautomatic gun.\"",
"Prosecutor Michael Dearington produced a gun as evidence and Petit confirmed \"that gun is consistent with the shape of the gun I saw.\"",
"Petit testified that the suspects told him to lie down on the couch \"and tied my hands at the wrists and my feet at the ankles\" and covered his head with an unidentifiable piece of fabric.",
"\"I heard one of them say, 'If he moves, put two bullets into him,\" he added.",
"Eventually, the suspects led him, with his head still covered, to the basement.",
"\"I heard nothing from Jennifer, Hayley or Michaela. ...",
"I did not know where they were in the house, for the most part,\" he said.",
"Once he was taken to the basement, Petit was bound to a support pole by a rope around his chest and waist, his hands still bound with plastic zip ties.",
"\"I would sort of go in and out of it, and slide down the pole,\" he testified.",
"\"My body weight sliding down made my body feel better. ...",
"Eventually I was able to get the rope on my hands untied, and break the plastic.",
"But I was not able to undo my feet.\"",
"Petit recalled that earlier in the ordeal, one of the suspects asked where the family kept their safe.",
"\"I said we had no safe,\" he testified, adding that \"much later on, I heard Jennifer ... say that she would need to get dressed and need her checkbook or my checkbook to go to the bank.\"",
"A bank teller at a local Bank of America branch testified Monday that Hawke-Petit asked to withdraw $15,000, telling the woman she needed the money \"because she and her family were being held hostage at her house.\"",
"Petit said that for the most part \"it was very quiet\" while he was trapped in the basement, but at one point he heard \"three loud noises, like someone was throwing 20- or 30-pound sacks on the living room floor.\"",
"\"I heard moaning and the thumps, and may have yelled out 'hey!'\"",
"he said. \"And a voice yelled, 'Don't worry, it'll be all right in a couple of minutes.'",
"But there was definitely a change of voice . ... ...",
"more sinister.\" Fearing for his family's safety, Petit, still bound by his feet, hopped to the basement door.",
"\"I just thought time was of the essence, and I needed to get help,\" he said, telling how he hopped up the basement stairs and headed to the house of his neighbor, Dave Simcik.",
"\"I started to crawl, but that wasn't very efficient, so I started to roll -- the whole time I was yelling 'Dave, Dave!' ...",
"I rolled over, with my feet still tied, banging on his garage door, hoping he would hear.",
"The garage door went up, and Dave said 'Can I help you, sir?",
"', and I said 'Dave, it's me, Bill, call 911!'\"",
"Petit said police arrived moments after he made it to the Simcik house.",
"He said officers asked him who was in his house, and he replied, \"the girls, the girls.\"",
"Petit said he recalled hearing a \"whoosh\" sound shortly after one of the men in the house yelled to him \"don't worry, it will all be over soon,\" though he said he did not smell smoke or see flames once he was out of the house.",
"After the ambulance arrived, he was taken to a hospital.",
"In all, Petit said, he lost between five and seven pints of blood.",
"Prosecutors say the suspects put gasoline in several plastic gallon-size jugs found at the house -- originally filled with windshield washer fluid -- to start the fire in the home.",
"The only other witness Tuesday was police Sgt.",
"Phillip Giampietro, who testified that he was working at \"an extra job\" on the morning of the home invasion when he received word \"that there was a possible home invasion/hostage situation.\"",
"Giampietro described seeing \"activity in the driveway at one point,\" and then the Petit's vehicle \"quickly backed down the driveway.\"",
"The Chrysler Pacifica escaped after hitting an unmarked police car and running over a stone wall.",
"Giampietro identified the passenger in the vehicle as Hayes.",
"The sergeant said the Pacifica took off \"at a high rate of speed\" and that \"shortly after it disappeared, I heard a crash.\"",
"Giampietro said he and other officers tried to enter the home at that point, but were unable to do so because of the intense smoke, heat and fire.",
"\"There was so much fire and so much heat the [window] panes were disintegrating and falling onto the ground,\" he said.",
"In an odd twist Tuesday afternoon, a male juror was dismissed after telling the courtroom that he's \"confused by the presentation of the state's case, and what seems to be a lack of preparation on their part.\"",
"Prosecutors filed a motion for his dismissal and Judge Jon C. Blue granted the motion to objections from the defense.",
"In issuing his ruling, Blue said that the juror \"is in such a state of agitation that I'm worried about the contamination of the jury. ...",
"This is an extraordinary occurrence.\""

"SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) -- Carolyn Dennis, mother of a 5-year-old, initially wasn't too keen on Utah's decision to move her to a four-day workweek.",
"Mylitta Barrett says Utah's four-day workweek makes looking after her disabled son, Joseph, harder.",

"She normally picked him up from day care in the afternoon.",
"Since she'd now be working later, pickup seemed like it'd be a problem.",

"But then something else hit her: She's just picked up an extra day off per week.",

"Watch Utah's big experiment with the four-day workweek » .",
"Utah is betting benefits like that -- and the millions of dollars it hopes to save on energy bills by closing some state buildings on Fridays -- will outweigh the adjustments that workers and service seekers will have to make.",

"It also hopes employees will save on fuel costs by driving to work one less day per week.",

"Also, the state says Internet offerings allow people to make some transactions with the state anytime they want.",
"As for Dennis' day-care dilemma, she was in luck.",
"Because many of the parents leaving their children at her son's center were state employees, the center expanded its hours to accommodate them.",

"She is charged more per day because her son is there longer.",
"But because she no longer has to pay for Friday care, she's paying about the same per week.",

"\"This Friday, we are going to the planetarium; next Friday is the zoo.",
"Those are things I [didn't] get to do with him.\"",

"\"The governor has made it very clear that as long as we can serve the public, we need to do what we can to exercise flexibility with the employees,\" Herring said.",
"Utah officials say previous studies on four-day workweeks show that for most participants, having a three-day weekend more than compensates for the longer work hours and recharges employees' batteries.",
"But Mylitta Barrett of Ogden doubts her new day off will provide much relief.",
"A statistician working for the state, Barrett is a single mom of three, including 14-year-old Joseph, who has cerebral palsy and needs constant care.",
"Barrett's carefully orchestrated routine of caring for her sons -- the others are 13 and 9 -- has been thrown off by her new schedule.",
"\"Right now, I can't tell you how it's going to work,\" said Barrett, 48.",
"Because Barrett now leaves for her Salt Lake City job while her children are still asleep -- her new start time is 7 a.m., two hours earlier than before -- she hired someone to help get her sons to school.",
"Barrett said her supervisors have been flexible with her schedule while she tries to adjust.",
"But while her colleagues are ecstatic about having Fridays off, she feels anything but excitement.",

"(CNN) -- Despite international calls for calm and negotiations, Albania's ruling government continued Saturday to levy sharply-worded rhetoric against its opposition and arrested 113 people following a massive Friday protest that turned violent, state-run media reported.",
"Those arrested were charged with confronting riot police and destroying property during Friday's demonstration in Tirana, a city police spokeswoman told reporters, according to the state-run ATA news agency.",
"Three protesters were killed -- all shot at close range, according to Tirana Military Hospital emergency chief Sami Koceku.",
"The clashes left at least 35 civilians and 27 police hurt, the state-run TVSH network reported.",
"\"Yesterday was a terrible day for Albania,\" U.S.",
"Ambassador Alexander Arvizu said Saturday.",
"\"There were no winners. There were only losers.\" The opposition Socialist Party claimed, on its website, that around 250,000 people had gathered outside Prime Minister Sali Berisha's office to implore him to resign.",
"Some protesters threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the more than 1,000 police at the scene, who used water cannon to disperse the crowd.",
"The Socialist Party blamed police for provoking protesters by using the water tanks and tear gas.",
"But on Saturday, Berisha again accused his rival Edi Rama, Tirana's mayor and the Socialist Party head, of spearheading the violence.",
"He claimed that demonstrators were trying to takeover the prime minister's office, parliament and cabinet ministries.",
"\"Those behind the putsch and bandits will receive the deserved punishment,\" he told reporters, according to ATA.",
"\"No force in this world can take over the democratic institutions of Albania, a NATO member country.\"",
"Earlier this month, in an interview quoted in a Socialist Party newsletter, Rama reiterated long-standing claims that Berisha's ruling Democratic Party had rigged the June 2009 election.",
"\"Are there any Albanians who have not yet understood that (Berisha) stole the elections in order to rob Albania?\"",
"he said. The country's supreme court determined that the elections were valid, and the ballots were burned by the Central Election Commission.",
"The Socialist Party boycotted Albania's parliament between September 2009 and February 2010, according to the U.S. State Department.",
"Reconciliation efforts since then have been unsuccessful, with opposition parties continuing to push hard against the Democrats in alleging corruption.",
"The tensions escalated in the past two weeks, after a former government minister sent the media a secret recording that allegedly documented an illicit back-room deal.",
"In addition to the increasingly pointed, accusatory barbs between Rama and Berisha, personal slurs marred a parliamentary session this week meant to settle governmental changes following the resignation of a minister central to that video.",
"On Friday, Berisha vowed that there would \"be no early elections\" and that \"general elections will be held in 2013,\" a rebuttal to a proposal being pushed by the opposition .",
"Such entrenched stances, the strong language and Friday's violence came as diplomats outside Albania continued to push for a peaceful solution to a southern European nation's stalemate.",
"Rama, then the nation's president, was the focus of the last such severe unrest in 1997, when angry mobs protested voting irregularities and government-backed Ponzi schemes that plunged Albania into near anarchy.",
"Albania's current president, Bamir Topi, met Saturday with prominent U.S., U.K. and European diplomats.",
"A day earlier, he'd urged all parties to resume talks soon and not to reopen old wounds.",
"\"We have repeatedly urged Albania's political leaders to search for compromise,\" said Arvizu, one of those who met with Topi.",
"\"When one side -- or both -- insists on maximalist positions that it knows the other side cannot accept, I'm sorry, that's not compromise.",
"Resolving political differences through street battles is also not compromise, and does not reflect the democratic aspirations of Albanians.\"",
"\"It's time to desist from further provocations,\" he added.",
"\"It's time to stop the mutual recriminations and name-calling.\"",
"Those remarks echoed similar ones the previous day from the European Union, which has been considering adding Albania as a member.",
"On Saturday, a key member of the EU's parliament said the recent escalation of tensions could hinder that development.",
"\"I hope that, in this critical moment, the politicians will show maturity and will engage ... in finding a compromise solution,\" said Eduard Kukan of Slovakia.",

"Dewani was allowed to leave South Africa, but prosecutors there later accused him of hiring the hitmen to kill Anni.",
"Dewani's lawyers say he is innocent and will fight extradition.",
"Granting him bail in December, British Judge Duncan Ousely rejected concerns from the South African government that Dewani would use his funds and international connections to flee before an extradition hearing.",
"Ben Watson, a lawyer for the South African government, cited hotel surveillance video that he said showed Dewani twice meeting with a cab driver as the sort of evidence indicating Dewani's involvement in a plot against his wife.",
"But Ousely ruled that Dewani, who did not attend the hearing, had a genuine interest in clearing his name and said he has cooperated with investigators from both England and South Africa.",
"Dewani's solicitor, Andrew Katzen, said he was \"delighted\" with the outcome but declined further comment following the court hearing.",
"In documents, prosecutors detail meetings that Dewani had with the taxicab driver during which he allegedly paid the driver 15,000 South African rand ($2,170) to have hitmen kill his wife and make it look like a carjacking.",
"\"The alleged hijacking was in fact not a hijacking, but part of a plan of subterfuge which Shrien Dewani, the husband of the deceased and the accused, had designed to conceal the true facts ... that the deceased was murdered at the instance of the husband,\" South African prosecutors wrote in court documents.",
"The court documents do not say why Dewani allegedly wanted his wife dead.",
"The driver, Zola Tongo, was sentenced to 18 years in prison in South Africa after admitting to taking part in the killing.",

"Beijing (CNN) -- The Chinese economy continued its breakneck growth in 2010, expanding by 10.3%, according to government figures released Thursday.",
"Last year China's economic output eclipsed Japan to become the world's second largest economy with just over $6 trillion, completing a decade long gallop that saw it jump the economies of France, the UK and Germany.",

"China has implemented price controls on food \"but whether that deal with the underlying inflationary pressure is an entirely different problem,\" Chovanec said.",
"\"Nothing China has done so far has really tackled that.\"",
"Two chief U.S. economic concerns are China's currency, which critics say is widely undervalued, and increased access to U.S. businesses in the burgeoning China market.",

"We want to sell China \"all kinds of stuff,\" he said.",
"\"We welcome China's rise,\" Obama said.",
"Washington just wants to ensure it \"reinforces international norms and international rules, and enhances security and peace as opposed to ... being a source of conflict.\"",
"While the meeting dealt with a range of topics, U.S. officials continued to focus intensely on the fact that the government-controlled People's Bank of China is artificially undervaluing the yuan, bringing down the cost of Chinese exports, which would give it an advantage in the international market.",

"Blog: Adebayor deserves to be banned .",

"Based in Texas, he has made the North-East club the fourth in the Premier League to have American owners, alongside Aston Villa, Manchester United and Liverpool.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- A common perception among many who have followed the recent banking and stock market crises is that the big financial players have been reckless, splashing large amounts of other people's money on half-understood, risky schemes.",
"Go on, take a risk -- it might be good for the economy.",
"But a pioneering business school study -- which, perhaps uniquely in it's field, gathered data inside a Las Vegas casino -- now suggests precisely opposite.",
"Indeed, in many parts of the economy the problem could be that people are simply being too cautious, the authors surmise.",
"The paper, which has the catchy title, \"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Evidence from Blackjack Tables,\" was produced by Bruce Carlin and David T Robinson, both finance professors at UCLA's Anderson school and Duke University's Fuqua school respectively.",
"They studied more than 4,300 hands of blackjack played for real at a Las Vegas casino -- more than $120,000 changed hands -- and uncovered what psychologists call an omission bias; that is, players being more conservative in their bets than the level which would have optimized winnings.",
"Mostly, such studies of risk are carried out in laboratory conditions where, both figuratively and literally, the stakes are lower.",
"\"As we point out in the paper, blackjack is a great venue to study how people behave during risky situations,\" Carlin told CNN.",
"\"What is striking is that they often play too conservatively, even though they have voluntarily accepted a role in a risky game.\"",
"Blackjack was the ideal pursuit to use as a testing ground as it is widely acknowledged that players are at the tables to maximize gain.",
"Equally important, with bets being made before decisions are made, the strategy pursued is not shaped by a shifting level of exposure to potential loss or gain.",
"The study's key finding was that passive strategy errors, in which players fail to take the right action, were four times more common than mistakes in which they did something that was not necessary.",
"Crucially, \"passive mistakes\" -- players failing to take the necessary action -- were on average one third more financially costly than mistakes caused by overconfidence.",
"The paper also found evidence for what was termed a \"rebound effect\" -- that an error made by playing aggressively was more likely than average to be followed in the next round by a passive error.",
"The authors were at pains to rule out other factors that could affect the outcomes, such as card counting strategies, or players simply getting confused.",
"On the latter point, the authors found that more complex hands were no more likely to prompt errors of omission.",
"Inexperience was also eliminated -- in fact, small-stakes gamblers, perceived as more likely to be newcomers, made fewer errors of caution than those betting higher.",
"But can any wider lessons really be drawn?",
"As the paper notes: \"Perhaps few decisions of economic consequence are made at a blackjack table.\"",
"Nonetheless, it argues, the same risk-versus-inaction decision is present in many areas of business and economics.",
"\"We can extrapolate our findings to investment decisions, insurance choices, and savings choices in the general public,\" Carlin said.",
"\"Many of these people are not seeking risk and probably exhibit what we find in a more profound way.\""

"(CNN) -- Esra'a al Shafei, a recent university graduate in Bahrain, is young, Muslim and frustrated.",
"Young Muslims, pictured here in Afghanistan, are increasingly using technology to engage the world.",
"The 23-year-old says the complexity of who she is as a Muslim is being distorted by extremists and the media coverage of them.",
"Channeling her frustration, she started Mideastyouth.com, a Web site she describes as a place for young people in the region to \"show a different side of our religion\" and discuss topics big and small, taboo and not.",
"She represents a generation of Muslims who are using technology to express themselves, connect with others, challenge traditional power structures and create an identity in an era when Islamic extremists often grab the headlines.",
"\"I think the word that clearly defines the younger generation and also separates them from their parents is 'globalized,'\" said Reza Aslan, the author of two books on Islam, including the recently published \"How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization and the End of the War on Terror.\"",
"Access to technology lags in countries with large Muslim populations compared with Europe and the United States.",
"Access also varies between those countries depending on a variety of factors such as governmental control and economic development.",
"But the numbers of people using the Web and cell phones are growing -- and quickly.",
"\"The percentage increases of Internet users in places like Iran, Pakistan and Egypt are astronomical during the past five years,\" Aslan said.",
"A recent study by Forrester Research predicted growth rates for Web usage would continue to soar in the region during the next five years.",
"A battle over interpretation .",
"Al Shafei, who spoke to CNN by phone from Bahrain, said her Islamic identity was partly shaped by a childhood that included Christian classmates and American and British teachers.",
"She also grew up in a country that was relatively progressive enough to appoint a female Jewish ambassador recently.",
"\"Islam is much more relaxed here,\" she said.",
"\"But it doesn't mean we're not good Muslims.\"",
"She discovered blogs, and the more she read, the more she grew frustrated with the nature of the dialogue.",
"\"No one was talking to each other,\" she said.",
"The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 was the turning point for her.",
"\"I was really annoyed by how the Western and Arab media were covering it,\" she said.",
"\"Both sides were sticking to the extremes.\"",
"She said she started her Web site that year to provide the world -- and media -- a different perspective on Islam.",
"\"We're not as simplistic as the media would often make of us,\" she said.",
"Al Shafei said the Web site's discussion subjects range from the political to the taboo, including homosexuality, premarital sex and atheism.",
"The anonymity provided by the Web helps foster such discussion, she said.",
"She is, however, careful to avoid talking about some topics, which could get her in trouble.",
"\"I always remind myself that I have my limitations,\" she said.",
"\"There are various issues that I am unable to tackle for security reasons.\"",
"Al Shafei said she hopes that Web sites such as hers could help fight extremist Islamic groups by defeating their arguments through cultural and religious dialogue.",
"But she concedes there's catching up to do.",
"\"We have to move faster\" because extremist groups are more widespread in traditional media such as newspapers and radio stations, which are still consumed by more people than new media such as Web sites, she said.",
"The extremists' lure .",
"Some extremists are adept at using technology and new media as well.",
"The killings of journalist Daniel Pearl, U.S. businessman Nicholas Berg and Eugene Armstrong, an American contractor working in Iraq, were all recorded and later broadcast on the Web.",
"It's long been a concern that the Web is being used by extremist groups such as al Qaeda to recruit young Muslims to their cause.",
"However, Bruce Etling, who co-authored recent studies of the Arabic and Persian blogospheres at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, said he found little evidence of such activity.",
"\"In the Arabic blogosphere we found no specific clusters related to extremism, and when it was discussed, it tended to be in negative terms,\" he said.",
"\"It was a counter-narrative we were surprised to find.\"",
"There are several possible reasons why, he explained.",
"It's difficult for extremist groups to maintain a static presence on the Web -- they constantly have to move to avoid being found.",
"Additionally, popular sites such as Facebook have strict terms of usage, which make it difficult for extremist groups -- and their sympathizers -- to build a following.",
"Aslan, who is also the executive editor of the social-networking Web site Mecca.com, said that research has consistently shown that the Internet is not an effective recruiting tool for extremists.",
"He said extremist groups use the Web more as a marketing and communication tool.",
"\"Nobody, absolutely nobody, straps a bomb on their body because they were recruited from the Internet,\" he said.",
"\"It takes an enormous amount of personal face-to-face contact and time in order to recruit a young person into the cause of jihad.\"",
"The Web and the streets .",
"Observers say that like other young people around the world, Muslims mostly use technology such as cell phones and the Web for social and recreational reasons, not political.",
"Jared Cohen traveled through the Middle East from 2004 through 2006 for his book, \"Children of Jihad: A Young American's Travels Among the Youth of the Middle East.\"",
"He joined the U.S. State Department in September, 2006.",
"He said his travels showed him that the same tools young Muslims are using to socialize also are helping them organize.",
"While at an underground party in Iran a few years ago, he asked the Iranians how they heard about the gathering.",
"They told him that if he were to go to the marketplace during the day and turn on his Bluetooth, he could receive random messages with details on where to go and at what time.",
"Western-style parties and music are prohibited in Iran, so young people hold them secretly to evade security.",
"Cohen said the partygoers were dismissive when asked if they were afraid of the security forces finding out.",
"\"No one over 30 knows what Bluetooth does,\" the young Iranians told him.",
"That knowledge and tech savviness played a significant role in the recent protests after the disputed Iranian election.",
"Protesters used Twitter, cell phones and other social-networking tools to organize and spread word of what was happening on the streets.",
"The impact on Islam: A new identity?",
"The post-election fallout in Iran is one example that portends a broader generational and hierarchical struggle in the Muslim community, some experts say.",
"There are a lot of young Muslims.",
"By some estimates, about 60 percent of Muslims in the Middle East are under the age of 30.",
"\"What the printing press is to Christianity in the 16th century, that's what the Internet is doing to Islam now,\" Aslan said.",
"\"It has opened up the monopoly over the interpretation of Islam that used to solely belong to the religious class.\"",
"Some clerical authorities, well aware of the challenges posed to their influence by the powers of the Web, are becoming more tech savvy and are building a digital presence, Aslan says.",
"But their interpretations and authority increasingly have competition from sites created by young Muslims such as al Shafei and online communities found on Facebook and Twitter.",
"However, emerging technology also could be a force that helps forge a new, more global Islamic identity.",
"Syrian Muslims can now talk to Muslims in Pakistan, Indonesia, the U.S. or Europe.",
"\"During the 20th century, the parents of this generation were struggling to define for themselves some conception of a pan-Arab or pan-Muslim unity,\" Aslan said.",
"\"But that was elusive because there are so many things geopolitically that separate the Muslim world.",
"\"With the Internet, those boundaries, those borders are irrelevant.\""

"(CNN) -- Here's what Katie Roche expected when she went into the hospital for spine surgery: two titanium rods, a bone graft, 17 screws in her vertebrae, eight hours in the operating room, and a week's stay in the hospital to recover.",
"Here's what she didn't expect on top of all that: sharing a hospital room with a feverish 6-year-old and contracting a nasty bacterial infection her mother says nearly killed her.",
"\"She got so weak she couldn't even get out of bed to go to the bathroom -- I had to carry her,\" says her mother, Kathleen Roche.",
"\"For about 48 hours, I didn't think we'd have Katie with us much longer.\"",
"Because of the infection she picked up at the hospital, Katie, who was 19 at the time, dropped from 120 to 90 pounds.",
"The bacterium that made her so sick is called Clostridium difficile, and according to a study out this week, it's more common than ever among hospitalized children in the United States, and children who get it are more likely to die or require surgery.",
"The study found Clostridium difficile infections in hospitalized children went up 15% per year from 1997, when there were 3,565 infections, to 2006, when there were 7,779 infections.",
"The study looked at 10.5 million pediatric patients from 1997 to 2006, of whom 21,274, or 0.2%, had C. diff, as the bacteria are commonly called.",
"The study was published this week in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.",
"\"This is huge, and really concerning,\" says Dr. Peter Pronovost, director of the Quality and Safety research group at Johns Hopkins University.",
"What's really disturbing, he says, is that these children didn't have to get sick.",
"\"Most of these infections are preventable,\" he added.",
"Katie's story .",
"Katie was a healthy 19-year-old avid soccer and volleyball player when she went into a New York City hospital in August 2008 for surgery to correct her scoliosis, or curvature of the spine.",
"The surgery was successful, and she was discharged six days later doing well, except for a low-grade fever.",
"A few days after she returned home to Katonah, a suburb of New York, Katie took a turn for the worse when the incisions on her back opened up and she began to feel weak.",
"Her mother called the doctor, and he told her to bring Katie back to the hospital.",
"Doctors found Katie had an infection -- not C. diff, but another bacterium -- and did a surgery to clear it up.",
"\"When I woke up from that surgery I thought that was it, I was done, but they told me I'd be having another surgery in 48 hours,\" she remembers.",
"\"And then I had to have another one, and then another one.\"",
"Katie and her parents didn't know it, but her situation was the perfect storm for a C. diff infection.",
"She was taking massive doses of intravenous antibiotics, which kill the good bacteria in the gut, and C. diff thrives in the absence of good bacteria.",
"\"I was throwing up all the time, and was so weak that one day I just blacked out in my hospital bed,\" she remembers.",
"The antibiotic Flagyl cleared up the C. diff, but by that time it had ravaged her intestines.",
"\"It took six months for me to eat normally again,\" she remembers.",
"\"There's no excuse\" Across the country in California, Pacific Hospital of Long Beach has fixed its C. diff problem.",
"Three years ago, the hospital had 5.3 C. diff infections for every 1,000 hospital admissions, and in the past three years it's had none at all, according to Dr. Alfonso Torress-Cook, epidemiologist for the hospital.",
"\"It's frustrating, because some hospitals say there's nothing they can do about their C. diff rates,\" he says.",
"\"But that's no excuse. They could do a lot of things.\"",
"Based on Pacific Hospital's success, here are some things parents can do to protect their children from C.diff when they're in the hospital.",
"For more information on preventing other types of hospital infections, see information from The Empowered Patient and the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths.",
"1. Give your child yogurt .",
"At Pacific, patients at high risk of C. diff are given yogurt because it helps restore the good bacteria in the gut that in turn help fight off bad bacteria.",
"If your hospital doesn't offer yogurt, Torress-Cook suggests that you bring it in yourself and that one serving a day is enough to help protect your child.",
"If a child can't eat, he can take probiotic supplements containing lactobacillus.",
"For babies, breast milk helps protect against C. diff infections.",
"2. Know the signs of C. diff infection .",
"If your child has watery diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, fast breathing, or is extremely sleepy, ask your doctor if it could be a C. diff infection.",
"\"It's not any one symptom, but the whole picture that's important,\" Pronovost says.",
"\"If as a parent your gut tells you your child just isn't normal, there's likely truth in that.\"",
"He adds that parents sometimes notice signs of infection before doctors or nurses.",
"\"Parents are with their kids all the time,\" he says.",
"\"And nurses are by the bedside for 12 hours.",
"As the attending physician, I actually have the least amount of time with the patient.\"",
"3. Clean everything .",
"C. diff spreads when someone touches the feces of an infected person, and then touches someone else, or touches a surface, such as a doorknob, that someone else will later touch.",
"At Pacific, officials credit much of their success against the bacteria to a thorough cleaning of every room, even making sure to change the mop head between rooms.",
"Torress-Cook recommends bringing your own disinfectant wipes and cleaning commonly touched surfaces, such as bedrails.",
"The Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths has more information on how routine cleaning by hospital staff might not be enough to control C. diff.",
"4. Ask for a private room .",
"Kathleen Roche says they'll never know how Katie got sick, but they wonder if she got it from a feverish little girl who shared a room with Katie during both her first and second hospital stays.",
"The Centers for Disease Control recommends that a patient with C. diff have his or her own room.",
"If you're concerned your child's roommate is ill -- or that your child is ill -- you can ask to be separated.",
"5. Make sure hospital staff wears glove, gowns .",
"After Katie was moved into her own room, her parents were told to wear gowns to cover their clothing and prevent the spread of their daughter's infection to themselves and others.",
"They noticed, however, that doctors and nurses did not wear gowns when visiting their daughter.",
"\"There should be no difference whatsoever between precautions for the parents and precautions for the staff,\" Pronovost says.",
"\"If there is a difference, it's likely the staff is being noncompliant.\"",
"If you see doctors and nurses aren't gowning up or washing their hands, tell them, Pronovost advises.",
"\"As a parent I know we worry we're going to piss off the doctor if we ask too many questions,\" he says.",
"\"But the reality is it's your child's life on the line, so it's worth taking a risk.\""

"As he came out of the course's 16th and last turn, Kumaritashvili was thrown from his sled and struck a steel pole at the side of the track.",
"Although he was given CPR at the scene and taken to a hospital, doctors were unable to revive him, the International Olympic Committee said.",
"Kumaritashvili had been scheduled to compete in the men's singles luge event, which begins Saturday.",
"The track was closed after the accident.",
"The Vancouver Olympic Committee and the luge federation, known by its French initials FIL, outlined their findings in a joint statement.",
"\"It appears after a routine run, the athlete came late out of curve 15 and did not compensate properly to make correct entrance into curve 16,\" they said.",
"\"This resulted in a late entrance into curve 16 and although the athlete worked to correct the problem he eventually lost control of the sled resulting in the tragic accident.",
"The technical officials of the FIL were able to retrace the path of the athlete and concluded there was no indication that the accident was caused by deficiencies in the track.\"",
"The track will reopen after officials raise the walls at the exit of curve 16 and change the \"ice profile,\" they said.",
"\"This was done as a preventative measure, in order to avoid that such an extremely exceptional accident could occur again,\" the statement said.",

"Sports Illustrated's David Epstein, who is covering the Olympics for the magazine, told CNN's \"Situation Room\" that the Whistler course is the fastest in the world \"and not by a little.\"",
"He noted that while most luge courses \"flatten out\" around the 11th turn, the Whistler track \"just keeps on dropping so there's really kind of no break from gathering speed toward the end.\"",

"(CNN) -- Cesc Fabregas has reacted to speculation over his future by insisting he is \"wholeheartedly committed to Arsenal\".",
"Fabregas has again moved quickly to quell suggestions he is looking to leave Arsenal.",
"The Spain midfielder has been linked with moves to former club Barcelona and big-spending Real Madrid in recent days, and was quoted in a report on Thursday berating his team-mates' \"impotence\" in their attempts to win silverware.",
"However, Fabregas has hit back at suggestions he could be ready to quit the Emirates Stadium and told www.arsenal.com: \"I'm not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again, but it appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future.",
"Check out the world's 20 most wanted players .",
"\"So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear.",
"I am wholeheartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great club.\"",

"Comparing his situation to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is poised to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid after a glorious spell at Old Trafford, the 22-year-old was quoted as saying: \"The absence of titles at Arsenal is what angers me the most.",

"\"It is a fact that we have not won a trophy for four years and yes, I am angry about that, but that anger stems from the deep deep desire I have to win things with Arsenal,\" he said.",
"\"I care about this club and believe in this team.",
"I am proud to captain this team and proud to wear the shirt.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- The new Italian Serie A season kicks off with the first round of fixtures this weekend -- Fanzone details what to expect from the forthcoming campaign: .",
"So what's new? The Serie A managerial merry-go-round produced its usual raft of changes with over a third of clubs set to begin the season with a different coach from the previous campaign.",
"Carlo Ancelotti's departure to Chelsea from AC Milan is the most high-profile change, with former Rossoneri hero Leonardo moving from his role as technical director at the club to take over as head coach.",
"Walter Zenga's success in guiding unfancied Catania to a mid-table finish last season saw him make a controversial switch to bitter Sicilian rivals Palermo, with Gianluca Atzori replacing him at the Stadio Angelo Massimino.",
"Who do you think will win the Italian Serie A title?",
"Sound Off below. Delio Rossi parted company with Lazio, who appointed Davide Ballardini, while Luigi Del Neri left Atalanta to take over at Sampdoria with Angelo Gregucci taking the reins at the Bergamo club.",
"Elsewhere, promoted Bari dispensed with the services of Antonio Conte and handed the job to much-traveled Giampiero Ventura, while Livorno have brought in veteran Vittorio Russo to work alongside Gennaro Ruotolo as the latter does not hold the relevant coaching badges.",
"On the playing front, the major story was the transfer of Kaka from AC Milan to Real Madrid for $92 million, and the club spent part of that money on Klaas-Jan Huntelaar who arrived from the Spanish outfit for a fee in the region of $21m.",
"CNN's Pedro Pinto previews the coming campaign. ...",
"Inter sold Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona, with Samuel Eto'o moving to the Nerazzurri as part of the deal.",
"Juventus strengthened their squad with the capture of Brazilian playmaker Diego from Werder Bremen for $34m while Fabio Cannavaro returned to Turin from Real Madrid on a free transfer.",
"The pressure will be on Diego to have an impact at Juventus following his move from Werder Bremen.",
"Key players: The arrivals of Eto'o and Diego Milito have grabbed all of the headlines for Inter, but it could well be 19-year-old striker Mario Balotelli who will provide the firepower for Inter's title defense after showing signs of his huge potential last season.",
"Kaka's departure has left a void at AC Milan, so a big season is needed from heir-apparent Alexandre Pato while Marco Borriello will hope to overcome last season's injury problems to establish himself in attack.",
"Juventus paid serious money for Diego and he will be expected to justify his price tag, while boss Ciro Ferrara will hope evergreen pair Alessandro Del Piero and Fabio Cannavaro have one last Scudetto title left in them.",
"Elsewhere, Geona's capture of poacher Hernan Crespo from Inter could prove to be inspired if he can recapture his best form, while striker Robert Acquafresca and goalkeeper Andrea Consigli at Atalanta are the best of the next generation of stars.",
"New Palermo coach Walter Zenga has talked up his side's chances of breaking into the top three this season.",
"Key clubs: AC Milan coach Leonardo speaks with authority and intelligence about the game but it would be a surprise if he delivered the title in his first season in charge, so Juventus should provide Inter with their main challenge for the Scudetto.",
"New Palermo coach Zenga has talked up his team's chances of breaking into the top three this season, while Sampdoria's formidable striker pairing of Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini ensure they will be among the chasing pack.",
"Roma face a season of uncertainty with Rosella Sensi, the head of the Italpetroli oil business that owns two-thirds of the club, attempting to manage debts of $420m while city rivals Lazio are currently a team in transition.",
"At the wrong end of the table newly-promoted sides Bari, Livorno and Parma will be among the strugglers and will be joined by Chievo, Siena and Bologna in the battle to avoid relegation.",
"Striker Samuel Eto'o arrived at Inter as part of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona.",
"Expert view: CNN's Terry Badoo - \"Whatever the outcome of this year's Serie A, it is important to the Italian football authorities that the league gets noticed.",
"\"Their goals were obvious in preseason when Inter and AC Milan went on a high-profile tour of the U.S. and the Italian Super Cup between champions Inter and cup winners Lazio took place in Beijing!",
"\"The reason? Italy's top brass feel they've been left behind by the English Premier League and Spain's La Liga in terms of global appeal, star quality and purchasing power, with a resultant lack of achievement in the Champions League.",
"\"Of course, good football gets you noticed.",
"But, in the last four seasons, the one Italian club to produce it consistently are defending champions Inter who are seeking their fifth title on the spin.",
"\"The question is -- are they hungry enough to claim five in a row?",
"Well, in Jose Mourinho they have a coach savvy enough to make it happen.",
"And, with the bargain signing of striker Eto'o in exchange for Ibrahimovic, the 'Special One' feels he's done the deal of the summer.",
"\"But, where do Mourinho's priorities lie?",
"The Serie A or the Champions League?",
"And if it's the latter, does he have a deep enough squad to compete on both fronts?",
"\"Certainly AC Milan are not favorites.",
"The loss of Ancelotti, retirement of Paolo Maldini, sale of Kaka and return of David Beckham to Los Angeles Galaxy (at least until January), has put a hopeful rather than optimistic expression on the face of new boss Leonardo.",
"\"So Juventus, in their third season back in the top flight following demotion for corruption, look ripe to claim the title they last won in 2003.",
"\"Big-money signings Diego and Felipe Melo are viewed as potentially key components, and having replaced Claudio Ranieri in favor of Ferrara, the jigsaw may be complete.",
"\"But, if you fancy a flutter on an outsider then Palermo could be a decent bet under Zenga, and with the signing of 20-year-old Argentinean sensation Javier Pastore in their ranks they could just surprise the established elite.",
"\"Time will tell as with all predictions.",
"So, pile on the pasta, break out a nice Chianti, and let the good times roll.\""

"The Suter Company is recalling 8.2-ounce packages of the \"Bumble Bee Lunch on the Run Chicken Salad Complete Lunch Kit\" and 3.5-ounce packages of \"Bumble Bee Chicken Salad with Crackers,\" according to a statement released Sunday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.",
"While the company is headquartered in Sycamore, Illinois, its products are sold from coast to coast.",
"The recalled products -- which have a August 2011 \"best-by\" date for the lunch kit, and February 2012 corresponding date for the cracker package -- were put together and shipped out to distributors and stores between August 14 and 28 of this year.",
"The recall was prompted by complaints from people who found pieces of loose plastic inside their Bumble Bee packages.",
"The federal agency noted in its release that it hasn't received any reports of people getting hurt or sick as a result.",
"The recall is a Class II, which means there is a \"remote probability of adverse health consequences,\" according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service.",
"Meanwhile, two unrelated and separate but potentially more dangerous recalls announced late last week were categorized as Class I, equating to a \"reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.\"",
"Federal food safety authorities said Friday that Diana's Mexican Food Products, of Lawndale, California, is recalling 41,670 pounds of chicken tamales.",
"The tamales contain whey, a known allergen.",
"But the packages don't note the whey on its labels, said the Food Safety and Inspection Service, potentially imperiling consumers.",
"The tamales, which went out to restaurants in California, were produced between February and December 2, 2010.",
"There are no known reports of adverse reactions to the undeclared presence of whey, which was discovered by federal authorities in a \"routine inspection.\"",
"One day earlier, Brooklyn-based N.Y. Gourmet Salads recalled various meat and poultry products because, prior to their distribution, they hadn't been inspected by federal health inspectors.",
"While there have been no reports of sicknesses, a public health alert was issued October 30 for a host of Gourmet Salad's products packaged between March 11 and October 29 of this year.",
"The recall list includes 12 items -- ranging from Swedish meatballs to stuffed cabbage to grilled chicken -- all wrapped in 4.5-, 5- and 6-pound packages."

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- It is an unusual art auction where making money isn't a great concern.",
"But that is the case this weekend when a series of paintings go on the block with the purpose of drawing attention to climate change.",
"This picture by Andrew Bartolo, 15, of Malta is one of 26 for sale in the UNEP's \"Paint for the Planet\" auction.",
"This weekend, 26 paintings with the theme of climate change will be auctioned in New York City to raise money for children most adversely affected by global warming.",
"The \"Paint for the Planet\" auction is sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and will spotlight the work of young artists across the globe.",
"\"Half of the world's population is today below 25 years of age,\" said Achim Steiner, executive director of UNEP.",
"\"The auction is a way of communicating their perspective and the auction and the money is in a sense a companion benefit.\"",
"Pre-bids have started and early indications suggest that all 26 paintings will be sold for at least the opening bid of $500 apiece.",
"The paintings are the best of some 200,000 entries received during the past 17 years of the UNEP's annual International Children's Painting Competition.",
"Entries came from as far afield as Burundi, Armenia, Thailand and Colombia.",
"\"Some of these kids were only seven, eight nine or ten years old when they painted these things\", Steiner said.",

"Penguins also are featured prominently.",
"Fifteen-year-old Andrew Bartolo from Malta secured third place with his picture of penguins frolicking on a beach.",
"Some are tossing beach balls while others sit nearby in a fridge.",
"Of his picture, Andrew says: \"I have painted a scene that, though slightly extreme, gives an insight into a possible future, one where animals lose their homes and are forced to migrate to unfamiliar territories... Due to our wrong decisions, these creatures are suffering just as much as we are or more.",
"Daniela Melendez, 14, of Colombia strikes a more upbeat note with her painting showing the globe and people harnessing alternative forms of energy.",
"\"With my painting I wanted to tell people that it's easier and better when we work together... we TOGETHER are doing it, together we can work it out,\" says Daniela.",
"It's that kind of optimism about the future that the UNEP hopes to propagate through the promotion and sale of the 26 paintings.",
"Another 26 paintings will join them in a traveling exhibit that will follow climate talks around the world until their climax in Copenhagen in December 2009.",
"The auction and exhibition are part of the new global campaign launched today; \"UNite to Combat Climate Change\" calls for a definitive agreement on climate change to be formed at those talks in Denmark.",
"In conjunction with the campaign, the UNEP has released results of a survey it says highlights how concerned young people are about climate change.",
"The vast majority of nearly 2,000 children surveyed in five countries decisively said that climate change was a top concern: Brazil (96 percent), South Africa (91 percent), India (85 percent), the United States (82 percent) and Russia (70 percent).",
"The majority of those surveyed -- except those in India -- agreed that it was necessary to take major steps very soon: Brazil (88 percent), South Africa (81 percent), Russia (75 percent), and the United States (61 percent).",
"In India, most thought it was necessary to take \"modest\" steps over the coming years (53 percent).",
"\"Children have a way of questioning established wisdom and that is part of opening up new ways of thinking and acting,\" Steiner said.",
"\"So I think we need to mobilize the energy and the enthusiasm and the commitment and the faith of young people to get involved in these issues.\"",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- As an organization they're used to investing billions of dollars in scientific experiments that further our knowledge of earth and space.",
"But the only bill to speak of on this occasion is orange and attached to the body of a rubber duck.",
"Scientists from NASA hope that rubber ducks will help them better understand glacier movements.",
"In the name of climate change science, researchers at NASA have dropped 90 rubber ducks into holes of Greenland's fastest moving glacier: the Jakobshavn Glacier in Baffin Bay.",
"Scientists remain unsure as to why glaciers speed up their movement in the summer months and it is hoped that the rubber ducks -- labeled with the words \"science experiment\" and \"reward\" in three languages, along with an email address -- will shed some light on the phenomenon.",
"One theory is that the summer sun melts ice on the surface of the glacier which creates pools of water which then flow into moulins -- narrow tubular shafts in the glacier.",
"These then transport the water from the top to the underside of the glacier.",
"It's thought that this base water acts as a lubricant to speed up the movement of the glacier towards the sea.",
"It is hoped the ducks will help show how the water moves through the ice.",
"In conjunction with the ducks, Nasa has also launched a GPS probe which they hope will tell them more about the inner workings of the glacier.",
"So far, neither the probe nor any of the ducks have turned up.",
"Alberto Behar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California told Reuters: \"We haven't heard back but it may take some time until somebody actually finds it and decides to send us an e-mail that they have found it.\"",
"The Jakobshavn Glacier is responsible for seven percent of all ice which is peeling off Greenland and its ice sheets could contribute to sea levels rising this century.",
"The glacier's menace was also felt last century.",
"Experts believe that it was the source of the iceberg which sank the Titanic in 1912.",
"It's not the first time rubber ducks have helped scientists track water flows.",
"Thousands fell into the sea in 1992 when a container ship bound for Seattle from China shed its load in a storm in the Pacific Ocean.",

"(CNN) -- Most artists have to wait years -- or perhaps an eternity -- to earn serious money from their work.",
"Aidan Reed, on the other hand, earned more than $83,000 in a few weeks, and he's only 5.",
"Aidan's art is of monsters -- green ones, black ones, scary ones, silly ones.",
"The people who buy his drawings aren't necessarily art lovers or monster lovers.",
"They just want to help Aidan, whose leukemia was diagnosed three months ago, and whose parents nearly had to sell their house because of the financial difficulties of dealing with cancer.",
"When Aidan's family started selling his drawings online in early October, his parents thought they'd sell a few each week.",
"They never imagined it could more than make up for the income they were losing because Aidan's father, Wiley Reed, had to take unpaid time off to be with Aidan during treatments.",
"\"We were in the hospital with Aidan, and my husband and I were talking about selling the house, which I didn't want to do.",
"I was really upset,\" said his mother, Katie Reed.",
"\"While we were there, we found out we'd sold over 2,000 drawings.",
"I just fell down crying.",
"It was so awesome. I knew we'd finally be OK.\" \"He's a great artist, but I never thought he'd be famous at 5,\" adds Reed, who lives in Clearwater, Kansas, and gave birth to Aidan's little brother, Amry, just 12 days after Aidan's cancer diagnosis.",
"An aunt's love . The idea for selling Aidan's artwork came from his father's sister, Mandi Ostein, who lives in Peoria, Illinois, and was trying to think of a way to help from afar.",
"She had to look no further than her newborn son's nursery for answers.",
"A few months before he got sick, Aidan had sent her some of his drawings to decorate his cousin's room.",
"\"I'd sold items I've made on etsy.com -- purses, bags, clothes -- and I thought we could sell Aidan's drawings there, too,\" she says.",
"Ostein opened up a shop,Aidan's Monsters, on the popular website.",
"\"When I first mentioned it to my brother, he thought it was crazy,\" she adds.",
"\"But I thought we could sell 60 by Thanksgiving.\"",
"Instead, she sold nearly 7,000 by Thanksgiving for $12 a piece.",
"She says sales really took off when a friend of hers convinced a website called regretsy.com, which usually pokes fun of the products on etsy.com, to promote sales of Aidan's drawings.",
"Now selling Aidan's art has become a full-time job, in addition to taking care of her baby.",
"\"I print, package, ship and answer e-mails from home,\" she says.",
"\"Upstairs is the printing department, downstairs is the shipping department, and wherever I am is the PR department.\"",
"Ostein says she knows why Aidan's drawings are selling so phenomenally well.",
"\"People really want to help,\" Ostein says.",
"\"They say Aidan's story really touches them.\"",
"Aidan's story .",
"Aidan was a healthy 5-year-old until late this past summer when he started having fevers that wouldn't go away, no matter how many medicines his pediatrician prescribed.",
"Then on the weekend of September 10, he developed a terrible cough, and his parents noticed bruises on his body.",
"\"Usually Aidan tells us if he's hurt himself or run into something, but he couldn't explain these bruises at all,\" Reed says.",
"The Reeds took Aidan to the pediatrician's office that Monday, and blood tests confirmed the worst: Aidan had leukemia.",
"He started treatment the next day at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas, receiving several rounds of chemotherapy.",
"Wiley Reed works for Cessna training factory workers, and his insurance is good.",
"While the family is responsible for a $250 co-payment when Aidan goes to the hospital, most of the rest of his care is covered.",
"What set them back financially is that Wiley has had to take unpaid time off work.",
"His wife stays at home with Aidan and his baby brother, so the family had to go without any income.",
"\"We were buying cheaper groceries and cutting way back on clothes, and we're not big shoppers to begin with,\" Katie Reed says.",
"\"The money from the drawings really relieved us.",
"When insurance isn't enough .",
"Reed says she never imagined how expensive an illness could be even when you do have good insurance.",
"\"If I were to see this story, I would think to myself, 'These people have insurance.",
"What are they talking about?' \" Reed says. In addition to her husband's lost wages, the family has had other expenses, such as buying food at the hospital instead of cooking at home.",
"The Reeds' situation isn't unusual, says Jeanie Barnett, director of communications for CancerCare, an organization that helps people affected by cancer.",
"\"Cancer is an incredibly expensive disease,\" Barnett says.",
"\"And no one budgets to have cancer.\"",
"There are lost wages, which the Reeds faced, as well as transportation costs to and from the hospital.",
"Plus, even good insurance doesn't cover all the costs.",
"\"You can get socked at the pharmacy for $900 a month, or even $3,000 a month, and that's with insurance,\" Barnett says.",
"Families have become clever about how to raise money, she adds.",
"For example, parents of one child with cancer held a \"pie-a-thon,\" cooking pies for 48 hours straight and selling them.",
"For help facing the financial burdens of cancer, contact CancerCare or the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition.",
"And a previous Empowered Patient column also offered advice:After cancer diagnosis, what comes next?",
"Barnett urges patients and their families who are having fundraisers to beware of the taxman: If you raise a lot of money, you could get pushed into a higher income bracket and face higher taxes.",
"To learn more about smart fundraising, see page 3 of this guide from the National Marrow Donor Program.",
"Aidan's future .",
"The Reeds are right now trying to figure out now how much of their income from the drawings is taxable.",
"Some of it they've used to pay their mortgage and other expenses, but some has also been used for art supplies for Aidan.",
"Ostein says sales are still going strong even though she's told customers that for the time being the family is fine.",
"Money from future sales will be put away for later.",
"Wiley Reed is back at work but takes unpaid time off when Aidan has a doctor's appointment.",
"\"He gets a spinal tap every three weeks, and those are not good to go through,\" Katie Reed says.",
"\"I can't emotionally handle it.",
"I always have to leave the room, so Wiley's the one who stays strong for him and holds his hand.\"",
"She says the response to Aidan's drawings has helped her emotionally, not just financially.",
"\"I love reading the happy stories people leave on Aidan's blog about how they've been through this, and it does get better,\" she says.",
"\"It's really helped me stay positive through all this because I was really depressed seeing my child have to go through all this not knowing whether he'd make it or not.\"",
"As for Aidan, he keeps drawing, sometimes for hours a day, even when he's in the hospital.",
"He recently started to draw jesters (\"he loves the hats and the bells,\" his mother says), and he's asked Santa for a four-faced clown mask he saw online for Christmas.",
"Still, monsters are his main theme.",

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- Imagine if cars ran on household waste, if gas tanks were filled with ethanol made from wood chips.",
"Well, the technology to make it happen is already a reality and companies are now racing to bring this kind of fuel to a gas pump near you.",
"Waste wood can be used to produce ethanol to fuel cars.",
"With the right processing, ethanol can be produced from pretty much any form of organic matter.",
"Cellulosic ethanol is made from the cellulose found in waste materials like wood chips and the non-edible parts of food crops, or from purpose-grown grasses such as switchgrass and miscanthus.",
"These grasses can be grown on land unsuitable for food production, meaning they're not in competition with food crops, and the whole plant can be used to produce fuel, making them a more efficient use of land than traditional biofuels.",
"Because cellulosic ethanol takes much less energy to produce than traditional biofuels, it's an even greener alternative to gasoline.",
"According to the U.S. Department of Energy, cellulosic ethanol produces 85% less greenhouse gases than gasoline.",
"So far, the production of cellulosic ethanol has been limited to pilot plants demonstrating that the technology works, but a number of companies have announced plans to build commercial-scale plants.",
"INEOS Bio, an offshoot of UK-based chemical company INEOS, is soon to announce the location of its first commercial plant, which will produce ethanol from waste materials.",
"The INEOS Bio method involves superheating biomass to produce a synthesis gas that is converted to ethanol by microbes, meaning it utilizes the lignin content of the waste as well as the cellulose.",
"\"We can use a wide range of materials but we want to stick with biodegradable materials.",
"That could be household waste, garden waste, agricultural waste or forestry waste,\" a spokesperson for INEOS Bio told CNN.",
"\"One of the exciting things is that a production plant could well be in a big city, allied to their waste disposal issues.",
"We can take waste and rather than put it into landfill, we can turn it into ethanol.",
"\"This is not a specialist thing; it's not for a few people here and there.",
"We believe we'll be able to mass produce this for millions of cars.",
"And if you use ethanol as a blend with gasoline, which is how it's most commonly used, you could find almost every car is one day running on this,\" the spokesperson added.",
"How do you think our cars will be fuelled in the future?",
"Governments have already committed to using biofuels of some kind as a substitute for gasoline.",
"The EU has required that 10% of petrol and diesel will come from renewable sources by 2020 and the U.S. is aiming to produce 36 billion gallons of biofuel annually by 2022.",
"Currently, biofuels are mostly produced from sugar cane, grain or oil-seed crops, but increasing demand for biofuels has meant an increasing demand for the crops used to make them, and that demand has been blamed for driving up global food prices.",
"There have also been claims that biofuel production in developing countries is accelerating the destruction of rain forests and doubts have been raised about the effectiveness of traditional biofuels in reducing greenhouse gases.",
"The result is that attention is now turning to producing biofuels from other sources.",
"INEOS is one of the world's largest chemical companies and the involvement of big corporations is a sign that the technology is being taken seriously.",
"General Motors has joined forces with U.S. firms Mascoma and Coskata, and Dupont has teamed up with Genencor to develop cellulosic ethanol, promising $140 million of funding for the project.",
"But cost is king and according to Neil Harl, emeritus professor of economics at Iowa State University, price is ultimately what will determine if cellulosic ethanol becomes the fuel of the future.",
"\"You have to do more than demonstrate that it can be done, you have to show that it can be done profitably,\" says Harl, citing a 2007 IMF report on biofuels that describes cellulosic ethanol as twice as expensive to produce as gasoline and 75% more expensive than corn-based ethanol.",
"However, that report was based on oil trading at $65 a barrel and higher oil prices make alternatives like cellulosic ethanol increasingly attractive options, especially when you factor in technological advances.",
"\"Right now funds are flowing out to new technologies but I think it really is going to come down to a question of what will emerge from this array of technological possibilities,\" says Harl.",
"\"As we move forward the question becomes 'what is going to be the long-term least-cost energy source?'\""

"(CNN) -- Goals from Manucho and Flavio gave hosts Angola a welcome boost as they moved top of Africa Cup of Nations Group A with a 2-0 victory over Malawi on Thursday.",
"In the opening match Angola threw away a 4-0 lead to eventually draw with Mali, but home fans were able to celebrate second-time round as they clinched a comfortable two-goal win in Luanda.",
"Angola, who played under the gaze of president Eduardo Jose dos Santos, began the game brightly and almost took the lead in the opening minutes when Manucho volleyed Flavio's cross only for Malawi keeper Swadick Sanudi to smother the ball.",
"The team known as the \"Black Antelopes\" continued to dominate the half and went close again in the 33rd minute when Djalma teed up Manucho but Sanudi was equal to his powerful shot.",
"Angola's attacking approach was maintained after the half-time interval and they broke the deadlock three minutes into the half through Flavio.",
"The energetic Djalma broke down the left flank before he whipped a dangerous cross into the penalty area which was met by the head of Flavio who directed the ball past Sanudi.",
"Former Manchester United striker Manucho doubled the advantage in the 54th minute when he held off a strong challenge from Malawi captain Peter Mponda and produced a neat close-range finish.",

"\"Long as the windows don't break, it's nice and warm in here.\"",
"The roof leaks a bit, and the floorboards are rotted in one corner, but Hale isn't one to complain.",
"\"It's home,\" he says, almost under his breath, as he invites a visitor to have a look.",
"Firewood is stacked in one corner inside, and more outside as Hale uses the summer months to stockpile for prairie winters, where 20 below zero is not all that uncommon.",
"He also pulls bunches of long weeds in the prairie grass, to dry for use as a firestarter.",
"\"I have to be careful,\" Hale says matter-of-factly as he pulls a few fistfuls.",
"\"Sometimes there are some snakes.",

"To spend a day crossing the reservation is to see a place stunningly beautiful and seemingly forgotten all at once, small, poor communities tucked into the hollows of western South Dakota's Cheyenne River Reservation.",
"The poverty is all the more striking because of the richness of the setting: green and golden rolling hills, roaming horses and cattle, and tall corn and golden sunflowers sprouting from the fertile soil.",
"\"Ziebach County is the No.",

"\"It is so difficult,\" he says of the challenge facing younger reservation residents.",
"\"Some of our young people join the services, the armed services, some of them go to college or apply to college,\" Bryce In The Woods told us.",

"\"But as far as expectation, I can say no.",
"There would be a lot more need to be fulfilled by the U.S. government for our tribe before I can say yes.\"",
"Outside, Brings Plenty's office is a \"First Americans for Obama\" sign -- a reminder the tribe was an early backer of Barack Obama.",
"Brings Plenty says he hopes the president remembers.",
"\"I can sympathize, empathize, with the demands, with the pressures that are on his shoulders, on his plate and put in front of him,\" Brings Plenty said during a break from a Tribal Council meeting.",
"The biggest help Obama and Congress could give, the chairman and others told us, is greater water rights.",
"The tribe has money for more housing, but can't build because the water pressure is too low and its treatment systems too outdated to handle increased demand.",
"\"I feel that we are forgotten because we don't have that voice out there,\" Chairman Brings Plenty said.",
"\"It's demoralizing in a way for some of our members that go out and receive an education and come back and are unable to get a job here.\"",
"To be clear, Chairman Brings Plenty and Bryce In the Woods say not all of the tribe's problems rest with the federal government.",
"Both mentioned obstacles and disagreements born of factional tribal politics and rivalries, which were in full evidence during just a few minutes of the Tribal Council's debate.",
"In The Woods is also a strong advocate for land reforms he says would get the tribe a better deal for grazing rights on its property.",
"Still, they would welcome more economic development help, from the state and from Washington, but say their voices don't always get heard, even in the best of times.",
"\"When it comes down to a vote, a lot of the urban representatives, I don't think they really know the plight on the reservation,\" Bryce In the Woods said.",
"\"I think there is a stereotype out there that all tribes have casinos and that's not true.\"",

"\"I'm not into politics to tell you the truth.",
"I was when I was younger, back in the '80s.\"",
"Now, he lives the simplest of lives.",
"A few hours of work if he is lucky, and perhaps an hour or two collecting wood, even in the scorching August sun.",
"The temperature neared 100 degrees on the day of our visit, yet Hale's wood stove was warm to the touch.",
"Prairie mornings can still be chilly.",
"More important, memories of winter's past remind Hale of the value of his growing stockpile.",

"\"Especially in February.",
"Twenty below and I have to walk.",
"Often no cars ... A few times I felt like falling asleep on the road.",
"I told myself, 'Fall asleep, you're froze and you're gone.'",

"President-elect Barack Obama's train ride from Philadelphia to Washington will pose myriad security risks.",
"But it is also presenting the U.S. Secret Service with security problems.",
"Miles and miles and miles of them.",
"In addition to the well-publicized \"whistle stops\" in Philadelphia; Wilmington, Delaware; and Baltimore, Maryland, the Presidential Inauguration Committee says the public will have the opportunity to view the train at other locations along its 137-mile route.",
"But the committee has not indicated where those sites will be, and the Secret Service has yet to release what security restrictions will be in place.",
"Security experts say the train ride presents traditional threats to the VIPs on board, as well as countless buildings, homes and warehouses along the route.",

"SELMA, Alabama -- For almost 60 years, Grace Britton Sweet has had the right to vote.",
"She can vividly recall the day she registered.",
"Grace Britton Sweet, center, was one of a few black Americans who had the right to vote as early as 1953.",
"As an African-American woman living in the South, she was one of a few black Americans who had the right to cast a ballot as early as 1953.",
"In states like Alabama, literacy tests were given as a way to bar African-Americans from voting.",
"If a black person was unable to answer questions such as, \"If a person charged with treason denies his guilt, how many persons must testify against him before he can be convicted?\"",
"they would be denied the right to vote.",
"Whites were often asked far easier questions, if any at all.",
"When Sweet went to the registrar's office and wrote \"Mrs.\" before her name, the person registering her scratched it out.",
"Sweet wrote it again, and again it was scratched out.",
"The person accompanying Sweet optimistically told her to \"leave it alone, that's coming.",
"Let's get you registered to vote.\"",
"In the mid-1960s, all of that changed.",
"\"We gave the nation the Voting Rights Act here in Selma,\" says Sam Walker, the curator of the National Voters Rights Museum.",
"\"We like to say that the people were the lowest they could go and they knew that they didn't want to be treated that way anymore,\" says Walker.",
"\"So, they wanted to do something to change the condition that they were under, and so they set out to change those conditions by obtaining the right to vote.\"",
"In 1965, civil rights leaders organized three voting rights marches in Selma.",
"The first, on March 7, 1965, was from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.",
"Bob Mants was one of the organizers.",
"He remembers how they decided who would lead the march for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.",
"What would MLK say? ...",
"\"They flipped coins to decide who would lead for SCLC, and Hosea [Williams] lost.",
"So he was to lead the march,\" recalls Mants.",
"Williams and Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who was then chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, led hundreds of civil rights marchers over the Edmund Pettus Bridge.",
"As the marchers crossed over the bridge, which spans the Alabama River, state and local police waited on the other side in riot gear.",
"The marchers were tear-gassed and pummeled with billy clubs.",
"Network news cameras captured the violence that outraged much of the nation.",
"\"People got up from their homes from all over America and just flooded into Selma.",
"Just in a couple of days, thousands of people got up and some came regardless of race, religion, all types of backgrounds,\" remembers Walker.",
"\"[They] came to Selma saying this is America and people in America should never be treated like this.\"",
"Bloody Sunday, as it came to be known, led to swift passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited any state from denying any United States citizen the right to vote based on race.",
"\"Because of the media coverage of [Bloody Sunday], it infuriated people,\" Mants says.",
"\"There were people in this country that did not know there were black people in the South who were disenfranchised.\"",
"Bloody Sunday was more than just a singular event, and Walker and Mants say President-elect Barack Obama has benefited from the sacrifices made by the civil rights marchers they call \"foot soldiers.\"",
"\"We'd be foolish and naive to think that the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States is an end,\" cautions Mants.",
"\"There are still some other basic and fundamental issues that this country has to deal with ... and one of the major concerns is the distribution of wealth.\"",
"Mants says that even though there are \"black faces in high places,\" he hopes to see the quality of life improve for more Americans.",
"Both men have no doubt that Obama's moment in history wouldn't have happened without the bloody march in Selma more than four decades earlier.",
"Today, the National Voters Rights Museum sits just yards from the Edmund Pettus Bridge.",
"Inside the door to the left is a wall of notes left by many of the people who marched that day.",
"Some 43 years later, Mants says the lifelong struggle was worth it.",
"But did he ever think he would see an African-American president in his lifetime?",
"\"Yes, because there are some of us who kept our eyes on the prize, who never turned back, and [believed] that we shall overcome,\" Mants says.",
"\"There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.\"",
"Longtime voter Grace Britton Sweet thinks so, too.",
"\"[Obama] is one of the greatest things to ever happen,\" she gushes.",
"She plans to have a front-row seat for Obama's inauguration when she watches the swearing-in from her living room with her prayer group.",
"Forget the crowds, Sweet says, \"I can see it better on my TV.\"",
"This is one event she would rather see in its entirety than in person."
