"(CNN) -- Manny Pacquiao's career will be defined by Floyd Mayweather, even if the Filipino can't give boxing the fight it has long been clamoring to see.",
"That's the view of Sports Illustrated's boxing correspondent, Bryan Armen Graham.",
"He says he is optimistic that Pacquiao and Mayweather can finally reach a deal to settle who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport.",
"Pacquiao's next fight is in May next year while Mayweather is due in court next month to answer charges of domestic violence.",
"Should he retain his liberty, Graham thinks a showdown in December 2011 is a possibility.",
"And according to Graham, the danger for eight-division world champion Pacquiao is that his legacy will be affected just as much by a failure to meet Mayweather in the ring than if the fight goes ahead.",
"He told CNN: \"If Manny gets through his next fight scheduled for May 7 and if Floyd resolves his problems I think there is actually a good chance.",
"I'm as optimistic as I have been in long time for that fight to come off late in the year, maybe December.",
"\"But the truth is there are a lot of theories about Floyd maybe waiting for Pacquiao to be past his prime, like Sugar Ray Leonard did with Marvin Hagler in the eighties.",
"\"Manny Pacquiao, I think he is a once in a generation type talent.",
"I know there are people calling him greatest of all time and you always kind of rush to judge these things when you see someone so spectacular in their prime.",
"\"Its really unprecedented what he is doing but I think we are probably going to have to wait until all is said and done until we really make judgments on his career.",
"\"One thing for sure though is if the Floyd Mayweather fight doesn't happen he [Pacquiao] might be defined just as much for not having that fight.\"",
"Pacquiao, who is a congressman in the Philippines, is due to announce who his next opponent will be at his 32nd birthday celebrations on Friday with Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Andre Berto in the frame.",
"Graham explained: \"There is Shane Mosley, the former WBA welterweight champion, Juan Manuel Marquez, the current WBO lightweight champion, and a dark horse candidate is Andre Berto, the former Olympian, who is undefeated but has not really fought anybody of note and has the lightest resume of the three.",
"\"[Mosley] is the best known but at the same time he is also coming off two really bad performances.",
"He lost 11 of 12 rounds against Floyd Mayweather in May and he had a very, very listless controversial draw [with Sergio Mora] in September.",
"\"He is 39-years-old and he probably doesn't deserve a shot against the pound-for-pound champion, but deserves seldom has anything to do with it in boxing.\"",
"Pacquiao made history by becoming the first fighter to claim titles in eight weight divisions after his victory over Antonio Margarito secured the vacant WBC super-welterweight belt.",
"According to reports in the Philippines, Pacquiao is currently ironing out a query over his taxes arising from fights in 2009.",
"He recently moved his next fight from April to May due to his political responsibilities in the country."

"Washington (CNN) -- The Transportation Security Administration on Friday ordered re-testing of all radiation-emitting full-body scanners after an internal review showed calculation errors, missing data and other discrepancies on paperwork by contractors who routinely check the machines' radiation levels.",
"As recently as Wednesday, the agency vouched for the safety of the machines, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano telling a Senate committee that independent studies concluded the machines are \"more then safe.\"",
"\"The amount of radiation is approximately (the same as that received) as two minutes in the air,\" Napolitano said.",
"The TSA reiterated that position Friday, characterizing problems as \"record-keeping errors.\"",
"But Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said the TSA found problems with more than one-quarter of the reports it reviewed, \"including gross errors about radiation emissions.\"",
"\"That is completely unacceptable when it comes to monitoring radiation,\" Collins said.",
"\"If TSA contractors reporting on the radiation levels have done such a poor job, how can airline passengers and crew have confidence in the data used by the TSA to reassure the public?\"",
"The TSA said all \"backscatter\" full body scanners will be re-tested by the end of March, the TSA said.",
"It will also require contractors to re-train machine testers, while increasing TSA oversight over the tests.",
"Further, the TSA said it would ask the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to update its 2008 report.",
"The announcements came as the TSA, responding to public pressure, posted raw data about radiation tests on its website.",
"The agency also promised to post all future radiation checks on the web site for public review.",
"The TSA said its internal review looked at randomly selected reports generated over the last two years at 15 airports.",
"The tests are conducted by manufacturers and contractors.",
"\"These reports confirm that each piece of technology reviewed meets all national safety standards,\" the TSA said.",
"But, the TSA said, the reports contained \"inaccuracies.\"",
"Those inaccuracies included \"calculation errors not impacting safety,\" no reading of background radiation levels, and missing \"non-measurement related information.\"",
"TSA spokesman Nicholas Kimball said Friday that numerous independent tests have confirmed that body scanners are safe, \"but these record-keeping errors are not acceptable.\"",
"\"We're taking a number of steps to ensure the mistakes aren't repeated and the public will be able to see for themselves by reviewing all future reports online,\" Kimball said.",
"Marc Rotenberg, president of a privacy rights group and a critic of the full-body scanners, said the latest development is \"more evidence\" that the TSA should suspend use of the machines.",
"A House government oversight subcommittee will hold a hearing on TSA oversight of the full-body scanners on Wednesday."

"Washington (CNN) -- The current large-scale U.S.-South Korean naval exercise off the west coast of Korea has multiple purposes.",
"After last week's North Korean attack on a South Korean island, the most important is to send a message to Pyongyang that Washington and Seoul have the capability -- and the will -- to respond with devastating force to any further acts of aggression.",
"A second is to strengthen the U.S.-ROK (Republic of Korea) joint capability to coordinate such a response, as well as to reinforce their anti-submarine capabilities that were so obviously inadequate last March, when North Korea torpedoed a South Korean naval vessel on the high seas.",
"In light of the fact that past North Korean misbehavior has not produced serious consequences for Pyongyang, it may be difficult to convince the North that \"this time we're serious.\"",
"There was a South Korean artillery response to the shelling last week, but it was apparently flawed in execution and did not produce much damage.",
"What is needed is to credibly promise a harsh response to future attacks, yet not trigger North Korean escalation or a preemptive war on the assumption that an effort to destroy the North is looming.",
"Despite its labeling the current situation an \"ultra-emergency wartime situation,\" the North Korean regime is not suicidal, and one ought not assume it will take actions that will predictably bring destruction down on its head.",
"But its apparent and dangerous belief that it can act with impunity has been reinforced over many years.",
"It comes not only from the measured South Korean response after the ship sinking, and from the absence of truly punishing actions after it reneged on commitments not to test intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.",
"Even assassination attempts against South Korean presidents and the blowing up of a civilian Korean airliner in years past produced little by way of lasting consequences for the North.",
"Fear of precipitating a second Korean War has proved an effective deterrent against strong U.S.-ROK retaliation.",
"This time, Washington and Seoul seem determined not only to demonstrate the resolve to strike back (albeit proportionately) if necessary, but to strengthen existing UN-sponsored sanctions against the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) that will effectively curtail the North's illicit activities as well as squeeze individuals in the elite structure.",
"Another dimension of the current exercises, which include the aircraft carrier George Washington and its strike group, is to demonstrate to China that, its strident objections to naval operations in the Yellow Sea notwithstanding, the United States not only has the right to operate in international waters but will do so in defense of its national interests.",
"The point is not to stick a finger in China's eye; Washington would far prefer to cooperate with Beijing than to appear to challenge it in order to change North Korean behavior.",
"But the U.S. has argued to China for a long time -- to little effect -- that its coddling of Pyongyang was not producing better behavior.",
"Rather, it was enabling the North to pursue its contrarian ways, producing stalemate in the nuclear talks, the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel, and now a calculated attack on a South Korean island that killed civilians as well as military personnel.",
"Thus, the American message to Beijing is: \"If you cannot help bring North Korea to cease its provocative behavior, we will be forced to take actions that, while not aimed at you, will discomfit you.\"",
"If this leads China to more seriously strive to rein North Korea in, all the better.",
"Moreover, China shrilly insisted a few months ago that no U.S. naval exercises should take place in the Yellow Sea -- and especially that no aircraft carrier should enter those waters.",
"In the face of that position, at some point the U.S. had to exercise its freedom of navigation rights.",
"But the choice of timing -- not ideal with a Chinese state visit to Washington planned for January -- was dictated by Pyongyang's actions.",
"Some observers say the only way to change North Korean behavior is to engage it.",
"In fact, the United States is quite willing to engage the North, including in serious negotiations.",
"But it is not willing to look the other way in the face of Pyongyang's aggressive military behavior and its blatant violation of its most basic pledges and UN resolutions regarding denuclearization.",
"And it is not willing, as the North appears to want, to accept the DPRK as a de facto nuclear weapons state by sitting down with Pyongyang absent a demonstration by the North that it is committed to denuclearize (even if doubts abound regarding implementation).",
"If the North does something meaningful to lower tensions with the South and to demonstrate \"sincerity\" about abandoning nuclear weapons, the prospects for resumed six-party denuclearization talks will improve.",
"Meanwhile, however, the United States will continue to show strong support for its South Korean ally to counter Pyongyang's threatening actions.",
"The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Alan D. Romberg."

"(CNN) -- Hundreds turned out in two Saudi Arabian cities Friday to protest on what had been billed as a \"day of rage,\" according to activists, though a planned demonstration in the Middle Eastern nation's capital failed to materialize.",
"The protests -- both made up largely of Shiite Muslims calling for the release of Shiite prisoners -- occurred despite a Saudi government ban on all kinds of public demonstrations.",
"Demonstrators in Hofuf, a city about 300 kilometers (185 miles) east of the Saudi capital of Riyadh, began their march after Friday prayers, two activists told CNN .",
"They asked not to be identified because of security concerns and fear of reprisals.",
"Three demonstrators were arrested by Saudi security forces, the activists said.",
"The streets of Qatif, a predominantly Shiite city in eastern Saudi Arabia where several protests have taken place in recent days, were quiet early Friday.",
"Ibrahim al-Mugaiteeb, a Saudi human rights activist, told CNN that he saw \"no people in the streets and virtually no security presence.\"",
"But by Friday night, about 200 people were out demonstrating near Qatif, according to a Shiite activist.",
"Saudi security forces were out and observed them, but there were no apparent arrests as the march ended peacefully.",
"In the Saudi capital, Mohammed al-Qahtani, who heads the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association, told CNN that authorities had set up checkpoints on roads leading to the planned staging ground north of Riyadh near a courthouse.",
"\"So far, I'm seeing no protesters out there,\" he said earlier Friday.",
"These demonstrations came a day after more than 100 people had gathered in Qatif, according to two witnesses and an activist.",
"At some point, the witnesses said, Saudi security forces shot to disperse the crowd.",
"It was unknown if the forces fired rubber bullets or more lethal ammunition.",
"Those injured were taken to Qatif Central Hospital for treatment, the activist and witnesses said.",
"A human rights group in Saudi Arabia condemned the action, calling the use of force by police \"deplorable.\"",
"\"(The group) condemns, with the loudest and clearest words, the use of all kinds of force to disperse demonstrators particularly when live ammunition was used last night against the demonstrators in Qatif,\" the Human Rights First Society said in a statement released Friday.",
"Last week, about 24 protesters were detained in Qatif as they denounced \"the prolonged detention\" of nine Shiite prisoners held without trial for more than 14 years, Amnesty International said.",
"The protests in Saudi Arabia come as unrest brews in parts of the Middle East and North Africa and has caused major changes in places like Egypt and Tunisia.",
"Some in the majority Sunni kingdom have followed similar demands across the Arab world for more freedom and democracy.",
"Still, one expert said he would be surprised if the demonstrations gained traction among the Saudi majority, noting that there does not appear to a high level of animosity toward the nation's rulers as there are in other countries.",
"\"The big difference is that people in Saudi Arabia don't want a revolution to happen -- they just want more reforms and liberalization,\" said Christopher Boucek, a Saudi expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace think tank.",

"Camp Verde, Arizona (CNN) -- Testimony continued Tuesday at the trial of a self-help speaker charged in the death of three people at a sweat lodge in Arizona, with a volunteer saying she and others received little training on how to assist people.",
"Jennifer Haley, who served at the 2009 event near Sedona, took the stand for the third day Tuesday to talk about how she and other \"Dream Team\" members tried to help ceremony participants, some of whom vomited.",
"One reportedly was burned after coming in contact with hot rocks, according to testimony.",
"Author James Arthur Ray is charged with three counts of reckless manslaughter in connection with the October 2009 incident at a spiritual retreat outside Sedona.",
"If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison on each count.",
"Haley described hosing people off, and spoke of one man named Dennis who repeatedly said he didn't want to die.",
"Prior to the beginning of the sweat lodge ceremony, Haley testified, Dream Team members received only about 10 minutes of training.",
"Haley, who was a participant in a 2007 ceremony, said Ray told the group \"to expect that anything could happen: There could be throwing up, some people could get delirious ... anything could happen; it could get a little crazy ... expect it, it was normal.\"",
"Haley also testified they were not told how to help anyone who was unconscious.",
"She said she performed CPR, despite having no training, on a man who appeared to not be breathing.",
"The witness was outside the sweat lodge during the incident.",
"\"There was no suggestion anything could go wrong,\" said Haley, who on that day assisted all three people who died.",
"Eventually, Haley testified, a nurse and doctor rendered aid.",
"Under cross-examination, Haley said participants had a choice of whether to have their heads shaved, which they were encouraged to do in order \"to let go of their vanity.\"",
"The defense is trying to show participants had free will during their time at the event.",
"Haley also said ceremony participants had been warned about how hot the lodge would be and that Ray never told anyone who left during the event they would have to return.",
"A man who burned his hand voluntarily returned to the lodge.",
"A nearby cooling station included fruit, water and fortified water.",
"Haley also said that Ray was unhappy with volunteers, including Lizbeth Marie Neuman, who drank wine one evening before the ceremony, saying it was prohibited.",
"Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, died nine days after the ceremony.",
"Asked by a defense attorney if the wine episode had anything to do with Neuman's death, Haley said, \"I believe that her feeling shameful absolutely had everything to do with her dying in that sweat lodge because she was more than that.\"",
"On Friday -- the fourth day of the trial -- a woman testified that Ray dismissed her alert about the failing condition of a woman who was one of three people who eventually died.",
"Speaking in Yavapai County Superior Court in Camp Verde, Laura Tucker said she twice told Ray -- the second time more loudly and urgently -- she was worried about Neuman, whom she had helped support, during a brief break in the ritual.",
"\"(Ray) said Liz has done this before -- she knows what she's doing,\" Tucker said, claiming that Ray did not check on Neuman despite her concerns.",
"Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, New York, and James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee, died the night of the event.",
"At least 15 others who took part in the ritual fell ill, but more than 40 others were uninjured.",
"Ray, 53, had conducted his Spiritual Warrior Retreat for six years at a cost of about $10,000 for participants.",
"The so-called sweat lodge -- which was 5 feet tall and 23 feet wide, and built to accommodate up to 75 people -- was the site of a purification ritual for participants modeled on Native American customs.",
"Prosecutors argue that the lodge -- made of willow trees and branches, and covered with tarpaulins and blankets -- was heated to a perilously high temperature, causing the participants to suffer dehydration and heatstroke.",
"Ray poured water over heated stones in a pit in the center, in order to create steam.",
"The sweat lodge ceremony consisted of eight rounds, with each round lasting 10 to 15 minutes.",
"While they were not prevented from leaving, participants have said they were encouraged to wait until the breaks between rounds.",
"Ray encouraged participants to hydrate throughout the retreat and warned them the sweat lodge would be very hot, his attorney has said.",
"Participants signed a release form saying that the retreat activities could include a sweat lodge with enclosed spaces and high temperatures, Luis Li said in his opening statement last week.",
"But prosecutors maintain Ray psychologically pressured participants to remain in the lodge even when they weren't feeling well, contributing to their deaths.",
"Under cross-examination Friday, Tucker acknowledged signing a release form that warned of an \"inherent risk\" of injury in some activities in Ray's program.",

"London (CNN) -- Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Andrew have met to discuss concerns that more revelations could surface about the prince's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier who was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution, according to a royal source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.",
"Prince Andrew's office recently declined to comment when asked about the prince's friendship with Epstein.",
"Also called the Duke of York, Prince Andrew is Queen Elizabeth's second son and the brother of Prince Charles, who is next in line to the throne.",
"He also is the United Kingdom's special representative for international trade and investment.",
"The queen and Prince Andrew discussed Epstein, the royal source said, but details about their talk were not immediately available.",
"The British government periodically reviews the prince's position.",
"The next meeting is scheduled to happen this summer.",
"Some politicians and royal commentators have said that Prince Andrew is an embarrassment to Britain and the royal family.",
"In leaked diplomatic documents published by WikiLeaks last year, the U.S. ambassador in the central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan, Tatiana Gfoeller, reportedly said that the prince -- during a business lunch in 2008 -- was \"astonishingly candid.",

"(CNN) -- The lawyer for Joran Van der Sloot, the Dutch national accused of killing a 21-year-old woman in Lima, Peru, last year, said Monday he has asked the court to charge his client with the lesser offense of manslaughter.",
"\"In his statement to the police, Joran admitted that he committed the crime, but it was not in the way that the police said it happened,\" said attorney Maximo Altez.",
"\"We have submitted a motion to show that he shouldn't be charged with aggravated murder, but with violent emotion murder.\"",
"\"Violent emotion murder\" is the equivalent of manslaughter in the United States.",
"Van der Sloot faces up to five years in prison if convicted on the lesser charge and a minimum of 15 years if found guilty of first-degree murder.",
"Altez gave a copy of the motion, dated late last year, to \"In Session.\"",
"A judge has not yet made a ruling on it, he said.",
"Van der Sloot has been charged with first-degree murder and robbery in the case of 21-year-old Stephany Flores.",
"Authorities found Flores' body in a Lima hotel room registered to him in June last year.",
"He is perhaps best-known as the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of an American teenager in Aruba.",
"Van de Sloot was arrested twice in connection with the Natalee Holloway case, but was not charged.",
"Police have said Van der Sloot admitted that he attacked Flores on May 30 after she read an e-mail on his computer connected with the Holloway case.",
"After killing Flores, police say, Van der Sloot took money and bank cards from her wallet and fled to Chile, where he was arrested June 3.",
"He was returned the next day to Peru.",
"\"My client ... admits having murdered the victim, but not with ferocity, for profit or pleasure, nor any of the other element(s) that make up this murder, but only by violent emotion that overtook him at the time he was attacked by the victim,\" Altez's motion read.",
"The lawyer contends there is no evidence of robbery.",
"Van der Sloot also faces federal wire fraud and extortion charges in the United States, where prosecutors say he demanded more than $250,000 from Holloway's family in return for disclosing the location of her body.",
"\"I hope he remembers that there's a hold on him and that he faces up to 20 years for extortion here in the U.S.,\" said John Kelly, the attorney for Holloway's mother.",
"He said Van der Sloot is a \"prolific liar.\"",
"Van der Sloot is being held at the Miguel Castro Castro Prison.",
"He is spending his time teaching English to the guards and is still in solitary confinement, his lawyer said.",

"(CNN) -- Actor Charlie Sheen, fired from his hit comedy series, has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre, the creator of \"Two and a Half Men,\" a Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman said Thursday.",
"The lawsuit, which also seeks punitive damages and recovery of unpaid wages, claims intentional interference with contractual relations and breach of contract, among other contentions.",
"In addition to Sheen, 9th Step Productions -- a corporation formed by Sheen to contract out his acting services on the series -- also is a plaintiff in the lawsuit.",
"Warner Bros. Television fired Sheen on Monday after he had gone on a two-week public rant against the show's producers.",
"Howard Weitzman, Lorre's attorney, called the allegations \"as recklessly false and unwarranted as Mr. Sheen's rantings in the media.",
"\"These accusations are simply imaginary,\" Weitzman said in a statement.",
"\"This lawsuit is about a fantasy 'lottery' pay-day for Charlie Sheen.",
"Chuck Lorre's concern has been and continues to be about Mr. Sheen's health.\"",
"Warner Bros. had no comment Thursday.",
"Sheen, 45, has been known for his highly publicized marital, legal and substance abuse problems as much as his acting.",
"\"Two and a Half Men\" was put on hiatus after Sheen entered a rehabilitation program in January, and production was halted after he blasted Lorre and Alcoholics Anonymous in a February 24 radio interview.",
"Sheen said he is pursuing claims for the entire cast and crew to be paid for the balance of the season's 24 episodes.",
"In his lawsuit, the actor claims Lorre \"believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew ... in order to serve his own ego and self-interest.\"",
"It claims Lorre made Sheen \"the scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct.\"",
"Lorre and Warner Bros. generated more than $1 billion from his work, Sheen states.",
"Warner Bros. capitulated to Lorre's desire to punish Sheen for critical remarks about the show's creator, the lawsuit states.",
"Sheen contends he went on the radio only after years of Lorre disparaging him.",
"It also claims Lorre stands to make more money on his other shows, including \"The Big Bang Theory,\" and wanted to make those programs flourish at the expense of \"Two and a Half Men\" and because of personal animus toward Sheen.",
"The lawsuit claims Lorre and Warner Bros. conspired to conjure up a pretext to end the series and fire the actor, \"to make him their scapegoat despite the fact that Mr. Sheen was sober, and was ready, willing and able to perform.\"",
"Despite stopping production on the sitcom, Warner Bros. Television said last week it will pay the show's crew for the four episodes initially set to begin production this week.",
"In interviews, Sheen threatened to sue CBS for shutting down the show, demanded a raise from $2 million to $3 million per episode and insisted he was \"clean, focused and ready to get back to work.\"",
"\"I feel more alive, I feel more focused, I feel more energetic,\" Sheen said on CNN's \"Piers Morgan Tonight\" last week.",
"\"I'm on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front.\"",

"Los Angeles (CNN) -- A 5-year-old California boy, missing for two years after his parents lost custody and then allegedly abducted him, was found undernourished and weighing 38 pounds, Los Angeles County authorities said Tuesday.",
"The boy, tracked down Friday, was returned Saturday evening to the custody of his maternal grandparents in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, about 40 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.",
"The boy was undernourished and had other medical conditions, authorities said.",
"\"He is beginning to adjust to living in a normal environment,\" Deputy U.S.",
"Marshal David Dominguez said in a statement.",
"Although doctors say the boy's recovery will take a while, he should thrive with proper medical attention, Dominguez said.",
"The boy is already scheduled to attend school and is getting his appetite back, authorities said.",
"His parents, Ausar Allah-El and Serenity Sol-El, are in custody in New Orleans on charges related to the alleged 2009 child abduction, with bail set at $100,000, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Captain Mike Parker said in a statement.",
"Extradition to Los Angeles County is being sought by sheriff's investigators, Parker said.",
"The boy was abducted from a Carson, California, child care center on April 25, 2009, when he was 3 years old and in the custody of his maternal grandparents, authorities said.",
"For the past two years, the boy and his parents were apparently living on the streets, Parker said.",
"\"It seemed as though (the boy) and his parents had disappeared without a trace for almost two years,\" Parker said in a statement.",
"The parents had lost custody of their son after Los Angeles County officials made \"repeated attempts\" to help the parents care for their son and found the boy suffering \"from numerous medical conditions that could have been prevented with the proper care and medication,\" the statement said.",
"\"His parents refused to provide the child with necessary medical appointments, dental exams, occupational therapists and ophthalmology appointments,\" the statement said.",
"Asked why the parents allegedly did this, Parker said, \"Apparently, they have some type of belief that affects what they feed him and what type of medical care that they will allow him to receive.\"",
"Then, on February 20, a National Park Services police officer noticed \"something odd\" about a man panhandling in Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans, and as the officer interviewed the man, the panhandler texted someone on his cell phone, Parker said in a statement.",
"A warrants check revealed the man to be the boy's father, who was wanted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for child abduction, according to authorities.",
"After the father was in custody, he indicated he had been with his wife and child, and U.S.",
"Marshals authorities searched for them for two weeks, Parker said.",
"The mother and son had been staying with her friends and acquaintances in the New Orleans area, and authorities apprehended her and the boy following a surveillance, Parker said.",

"(CNN) -- Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has launched an attack on European football's governing body UEFA after being charged with improper conduct for his behavior during Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Barcelona.",
"Wenger clashed with referee Massimo Busacca at the end of the English team's 3-1 loss to the Spanish champions in the away leg of their last-16 tie in Europe's top club competition.",
"The Frenchman reacted angrily when striker Robin van Persie was awarded a second yellow card and controversially sent off in the 56th minute of the game for shooting at goal after Busacca had signaled for offside, with the score still 1-1.",
"\"I deny completely any charge.",
"I do not understand where it's from. They (UEFA) do not punish me.",
"It is Arsenal Football Club who has been punished,\" Wenger told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.",
"Was Wenger right -- did the ref kill the game?",
"\"We are out of the Champions League and have lost one of our big ambitions, and on top of that we have to say sorry when we have done nothing wrong.",
"\"It would be good for UEFA to show some humility, to apologize for what has happened, not charge people who have done nothing wrong.\"",
"France midfielder Samir Nasri was also charged for improper conduct after he approached Busacca in the tunnel at the end of the game.",
"Netherlands star Van Persie said he did not hear the whistle for offside amid the noise of the 95,000-strong crowd at the Nou Camp.",
"Wenger was immediately outspoken in his criticism of Busacca following the incident, and accused the Swiss official of \"killing the game.\"",
"Arsenal won the home leg of the tie 2-1 in London, and would have reached the quarterfinals if the score in Barcelona had remained 1-1.",
"\"It is a shame for me that the referee took the decision to send Robin van Persie off.",
"It was the wrong decision,\" Wenger said.",
"Wenger charged by UEFA after Barca clash .",
"\"This decision frustrated us and everyone who loves football.",
"The first leg was a fantastic advert for football and the second game has been destroyed.",
"People now will only remember the sending-off.\"",
"It is the second game in succession that Wenger has criticized a referee's performance, following his condemnation of the officials during the 0-0 home draw with Sunderland last Saturday.",
"The exit from the Champions League came just nine days after the Gunners' heartbreaking last-minute English League Cup final loss to Birmingham.",
"Wenger had further bad news for Arsenal fans when he confirmed that skipper Cesc Fabregas had been ruled out of Saturday's FA Cup quarterfinal clash with Premier League leaders Manchester United.",
"\"He had a recurrence of his hamstring and will be out for the next game, maybe for the next two games,\" Wenger said of the Spaniard, who returned from injury to face his boyhood club Barcelona.",
"Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will also miss the trip to Old Trafford, after the Polish player sustained a finger injury 18 minutes into the Barcelona game and had to be substituted.",
"\"He has a dislocated finger with a tendon problem,\" Wenger said.",
"\"He had a scan on Wednesday but we need the assessment of a specialist to see where we go from here.",
"He is out for a while, for how long I cannot tell you.\" With Manuel Almunia now the club's only fit goalkeeper -- Lukasz Fabianski is also out injured -- Wenger may be forced to search for a replacement on an emergency loan."

"Philadelphia (CNN) -- A new sexual abuse lawsuit was filed Monday against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, Cardinal Justin Rigali and other archdiocese staffers on behalf of a Delaware man who grew up in Philadelphia, clergy abuse attorneys said.",
"Phil Gaughan claims the Reverend John E. Gillespie sexually abused him from 1994 to 1997 while attending Our Lady of Calvary parish in Philadelphia, according to the civil complaint.",
"Gaughan, now 31, came forward because of his 7-year-old son, he said Monday at a news conference in front of City Hall.",
"\"I don't want anyone to go through what I have gone through,\" he said.",
"\"Words can't describe it, nothing has changed (with the church).\"",
"When the alleged sexual abuse began, Gaughan was 14 and assigned to the post of parish sacristan -- someone who is responsible for preparing the church sanctuary for Mass, as well as cleaning up afterward -- according to the complaint.",
"\"Phil was brave enough to come forward and put a face to the real tragedy that's been happening not only to him, but probably countless other in the Philadelphia Archdiocese,\" said Dan Monahan, Gaughan's attorney.",
"Raised Catholic, Gaughan now struggles with his faith.",
"He does not attend Mass and will not let his son become a parish sacristan.",
"Gaughan kept his secret until October 2010 when he told his wife, Michelle.",
"He confided in his parents and his large extended Irish-Catholic family.",
"He also contacted the archdiocese's Victim Assistance Coordinator, to no avail, he said.",
"His first conversation lasted roughly 15 minutes.",
"During a second conversation he was referred to a doctor, he said.",
"\"I want change.",
"Something has to be done to protect the kids,\" he said.",
"Gillespie was a family friend for nearly 40 years, said Philip J. Gaughan, Phil's father.",
"\"It's a shock for a parent, it challenges our faith,\" the senior Gaughan said.",
"\"You have to think, how didn't we know, and why didn't he tell us.\"",
"At the time, he said, he and his wife were proud their son was chosen to work in the church.",
"The complaint comes in the wake of the Philadelphia Attorney's Office charging on February 10 three Philadelphia priests and a parochial school teacher with raping and assaulting boys in their care, while a former official with the Philadelphia Archdiocese was accused of allowing the abusive priests to have access to children, following the release of a scathing grand jury report.",
"The lawsuit was filed in response to new information released in the 2011 grand jury report that involves Monsignor William Lynn, who is facing criminal charges for endangering the welfare of children and having knowledge about a perpetrator.",
"Lynn served as the secretary for clergy under the former Philadelphia Archbishop Bevilacqua.",
"This year's grand jury report is the second priest sexual abuse grand jury report in Philadelphia, and the first time that a Catholic church leader has been charged criminally for an alleged cover-up.",
"The lawsuit filed Monday alleges \"Archdiocese officials conspired to endanger the safety of the plaintiff when they actively concealed their knowledge of priest's previous offenses, lied to parishioners, and created a sham sexual abuse victim assistance program for the Archdiocese,\" according to a statement from Gaughan's attorneys.",
"He is seeking more than $50,000 in damages.",
"\"This isn't about the money,\" Gaughan said.",
"\"No other kid should have to go through this. No other person should have to live with this for two minutes, let alone 15 years.\"",
"Gaughan's attorneys filed another sexual abuse lawsuit on February 14 on behalf of a Philadelphia man who claims two priests at two separate schools sexually abused him, said attorney Dan Monahan.",
"\"Both of these cases clearly demonstrate the nefarious ways that the hierarchy of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia utilized to not only intimidate survivors through their so called \"Victim's Assistance\" program, but also how they actively engaged in a coverup of known sex abusers who were permitted to continue victimizing untold numbers of other children,\" Monahan said.",

"Washington (CNN) -- Last month, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said the threat of terrorism to the United States is at its \"most heightened\" since the September 11, 2001, attacks -- a threat that she asserted has taken on a new and disquieting form because of the growing emphasis by Islamist terrorist groups on recruiting Americans.",
"Napolitano's warning came at the first in a series of hearings convened by the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, who is determined to investigate what he terms the radicalization of Muslim-American communities, a problem he says is compounded by their lack of cooperation with law enforcement.",
"The hearings, scheduled to begin in earnest Thursday, have caused consternation among many Muslim-Americans who worry that they will devolve into a McCarthyite witch hunt.",
"So, how real is the \"homegrown\" Islamist terrorist threat?",
"The New America Foundation and Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Public Policy examined the post-9/11 cases of Americans or U.S. residents convicted of or charged with some form of jihadist terrorist activity directed against the U.S., as well as the cases of American citizens who have traveled overseas to join a jihadist terrorist group.",
"Read the full report .",
"The number of such cases has certainly spiked in the past two years.",
"In 2009 and 2010, there were 76, almost half of the total since 9/11.",
"This increase was driven in part by plots that could have killed dozens, such as the attempt by Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, to bomb Times Square in May.",
"It was also driven by nine arrests in FBI sting operations and the 31 people who were charged with fundraising, recruiting or traveling abroad to fight for the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab.",
"Only four of the homegrown plots since 9/11 progressed to an actual attack in the U. S. -- attacks that resulted in 17 deaths.",
"The most notable was the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in which Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly killed 13 people.",
"By way of comparison, 73 people were killed in hate crimes in the U.S. between 2001 and 2009, according to the FBI.",
"And more than 15,000 people are murdered in the U.S. every year.",
"None of the 175 individual jihadist terrorism cases we investigated involved plotting with chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons.",
"Given all the post-9/11 concerns about terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction, this is one of our more positive findings.",
"The U.S. military, fighting wars in two Muslim countries, is firmly in the cross hairs of homegrown jihadist militants.",
"Around one-third of such cases involved a U.S. military target, ranging from the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, to American soldiers serving overseas.",
"And in a third of the cases, the individuals involved were training on weapons or were manufacturing or acquiring weaponry.",
"Contrary to King's assertion that Muslim-American communities have not cooperated with law enforcement, more than one-fifth of the post-9/11 Islamist terrorism cases originated with tips from Muslim community members or involved the cooperation of the families of alleged plotters.",
"(Not included in our total were the tips from the local community that led to investigations into the disappearances of Somali-American youths in Minnesota to fight for Al-Shabaab, because it is difficult to put an exact number on the cases affected by those tips.)",
"Tips from Muslim communities and families warned authorities, for instance, about the danger posed by Daniel Boyd, who was planning to attack the Quantico base in 2009, as well as the \"D.C. 5,\" who tried to join militant groups in Pakistan the same year.",
"A third of cases we surveyed involved the use of an informant, while a further one in 10 involved an undercover federal agent.",
"(Five cases involved both).",
"The large number of informants and undercover agents driving these cases raises the issue of how many of these arrests happened because the defendants were entrapped.",
"While no one in a terrorism case since 9/11 has successfully used an entrapment defense, some of these cases certainly raise the specter of entrapment.",
"For instance, in 2009, a government informant promised $250,000 in cash and a BMW to a group of impoverished men if they would participate in a plot to attack synagogues in the Bronx and an Air National Guard base in Newburgh, New York.",

"The man-of-the-match became just the 11th player to score a hundred and take four wickets in a 50-over international.",
"Opening batsmen Dilshan and Upul Tharanga shared a competition-record first-wicket stand of 282 as Sri Lanka made 327-6 in front of a home crowd at the Pallekele stadium in Kandy.",

"Tharanga was the first to fall near the end of the 45th over, becoming the first of four victims for fast bowler Chris Mpofu, and Zimbabwe did well to restrict the 1996 champions to just another 45 runs from the final five overs.",
"The African side made a solid 116-run start in reply before world record-holder Muttiah Muralitharan broke the partnership, dismissing Regis Chakabva for 35 as the first of three wickets in his final match in his home city before retiring after the tournament.",
"The Zimbabweans then lost their last nine wickets for just 63 runs to be all out for 188 in 39 overs as Angelo Mathews got rid of Tatenda Taibu (4) and opener Brendan Taylor (80) before Dilshan had Prosper Utseya (4) stumped by wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara.",
"Dilshan found himself on a hat-trick after trapping Craig Ervine leg before wicket for 17 and then having Greg Lamb superbly caught at slip by Mahela Jayawardene -- but the captain then spilled a similar chance off Graeme Cremer from the next delivery.",
"Dilshan also dismissed Tinashe Panyangara lbw for a duck to end with the remarkable figures of 4-4 off three overs, while Muralitharan bowled last man Mpofu to end with 3-34.",

"Walker consistently defended the bill, which allows the state to avoid property tax increases and public-sector layoffs while trying to balance the budget.",
"Senate Democrats called the bill an attack on worker rights, filing a complaint with the Dane County District Attorney's Office, claiming the Senate's vote violated Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law.",

"(CNN) -- Highly-skilled foreign-born workers contribute more to the economy than they take away and unless the American government enacts immigration reform, the U.S. \"risks falling behing in the global race for talent,\" according to a report released Wednesday.",
"The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas on Wednesday released its 2010 annual report.",
"Attached to the report was an essay authored by two economists who argue that that reform is needed to boost the legal immigration of highly-educated workers to the U.S. \"The disproportionate focus on illegal immigration is missing the picture that the legal system of immigration is broken as well,\" Federal Reserve senior economist Pia Orrenius told CNN.",
"\"The cost of ignoring problems with the legal immigration of high-skilled workers in some respects is higher than the costs of illegal immigration.\"",
"Orrenius and Agnes Scott College economics professor Madeline Zavodny co-authored the essay, \"From Brawn to Brains.\"",
"The essay contains ideas included in a book the two economists co-authored for the American Enterprise Institute in 2010, Zavodny told CNN.",
"The book is entitled \"Beside the Golden Door -- U.S. Immigration Reform in a New Era of Globalization.\"",
"Pointing to economic and census data, the authors say that skilled immigrants boost economic productivity and entrepreneurship.",
"In highly technical fields, immigrants tend to complement U.S. born workers by moving into expanding fields \"where native labor supply cannot keep up,\" the author's Federal Reserve essay states.",
"Immigrant entrepreneurs obtain patents at more than a two-to-one rate than native-born Americans, according to Orrenius and Zavodny, and tend to boost \"patent activity\" overall.",
"More highly educated immigrants also contribute more to government coffers than lower-educated workers drain from them, according to Orrenius and Zavodny.",
"The authors argue there is a line of approximately 1 million skilled-workers waiting on \"employment-based\" green cards from the U.S. government.",
"That's because the number of permanent resident visas issued by the federal government hasn't changed since 1996.",
"\"Untold numbers have given up on waiting or even applying,\" the essay states.",
"\"For those in the queue, their applications have been approved, but their green cards won't be available for years because of strict numerical limits on employment-based permanent visas.\"",
"Orrenius and Zavodny also point out that U.S. policy on granting green-card status to immigrants overwhelmingly favors relatives of U.S. citizens, other legal residents or refugees.",
"Employment-based green cards for skilled workers and their families account for 15% of the total issued by the U.S. government every year, according to the authors."

"(CNN) -- An emerging commercial space race just got more intense.",
"ATK, Alliant Techsystems, has for 30 years built space shuttle booster rockets at its plant in Promontory, Utah.",
"The company has just announced it plans to build a rocket to take astronauts to the international space station.",
"ATK says it will offer NASA launch services to the station using a new rocket called Liberty.",
"Kent Rominger, former space shuttle astronaut and now ATK's program manager for Liberty, said, \"We will be the safest vehicle on the street to carry a crew.\"",
"The entrance of ATK into the commercial crew arena clearly signals an intense fight for NASA dollars and contracts to fly crews to the space station.",
"Is this now a commercial space race?",
"\"Absolutely yes,\" Rominger said.",
"Elon Musk, the multimillionaire head of Space X, has already been awarded a NASA contract to begin flying cargo to the station within a year using his Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule.",
"Musk has said Space X can start flying astronauts in Dragon by 2015.",
"ATK said its rocket will be ready to fly that same year.",
"Rominger said he believes Liberty is instantly way ahead in the race, because much of the rocket is already rated for humans.",
"Rominger said of Musk, \"When it comes to flying humans, he's never demonstrated anything close to that capability.\"",

"The new rocket is a partnership between ATK and Astrium, a company that builds the Ariane 5 launcher for the European Space Agency.",
"The Liberty rocket would stand some 300 feet tall.",
"It is being designed, ATK said, so any crew capsule NASA chooses could fly on it.",
"The Space X vehicle is the complete package, both rocket and capsule.",
"ATK will build a five-segment solid rocket booster, which is larger than a shuttle booster.",
"Astrium will provide a liquid fueled upper stage.",
"ATK officials said their rocket will provide NASA tremendous value because they will assemble Liberty in the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center and launch from one of the existing space shuttle launchpads."

"Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama's spokesman criticized the Egyptian government on Tuesday for arresting and harassing journalists and rights activists, and called comments by Vice President Omar Suleiman that Egypt is not ready for democracy \"particularly unhelpful.\"",
"The remarks by White House press secretary Robert Gibbs reflected a growing U.S. dissatisfaction with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Suleiman, the intelligence officer Mubarak chose as his deputy to bring about reforms demanded by protesters who have convulsed Cairo and the Egyptian economy for more than two weeks.",
"In another sign of U.S. frustration with the pace of reform in Egypt, Vice President Joe Biden, in a phone call Tuesday with Suleiman, pushed for more progress, according to a White House statement.",
"Biden urged \"that the transition produce immediate, irreversible progress that responds to the aspirations of the Egyptian people,\" according to the White House statement.",
"It said the two vice presidents discussed \"restraining the Ministry of Interior's conduct by immediately ending the arrests, harassment, beating and detention of journalists, and political and civil society activists, and by allowing freedom of assembly and expression; immediately rescinding the emergency law; broadening participation in the national dialogue to include a wide range of opposition members; and inviting the opposition as a partner in jointly developing a road map and timetable for transition.\"",
"\"These steps, and a clear policy of no reprisals, are what the broad opposition is calling for and what the government is saying it is prepared to accept,\" the statement said.",
"\"Vice President Biden expressed the belief that the demands of the broad opposition can be met through meaningful negotiations with the government.\"",
"A senior administration official told CNN on condition of not being identified that the Egyptian government was \"doing the kinds of things that need to be done, but they have to now deliver and Biden outlined some specific things that will demonstrate that they're delivering.\"",
"The essential question, according to the official, was whether Egyptian leaders were \"truly willing to cede power to somebody else.\"",
"\"Are they truly going to deliver change or are they trying to put a veneer on this process and finesse the next few months without actually delivering change?\"",
"the official added.",
"\"There's a sense that the government can wait out the protesters.",
"But then what? We're confident the protesters are not going away.\"",
"The Egyptian government's dilemma is \"that the longer this goes on, there's an economic impact that Egypt can't afford,\" the official said.",
"So far, the Obama administration has been careful to call for democratic reforms in Egypt while also trying to maintain stability in a key Middle Eastern ally that is a vital Arab partner to Israel through the Camp David Accords of 1978.",
"With detentions, beatings and harassment of journalists and rights activists continuing, and the weekend comments by Suleiman that signaled a shaky commitment to the reforms offered by Mubarak, Gibbs made a point of directly criticizing both the vice president and the Egyptian government in a briefing with White House reporters.",
"\"The government has got to stop arresting protesters and journalists, harassment, beatings, detentions of reporters, of activists, of those involved in civil society,\" Gibbs said.",
"Previously, he and other U.S. officials, including Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, called for a halt to the crackdown on journalists and activists without directly saying that the Egyptian government was responsible.",
"Asked about Suleiman's comment, made in an interview with ABC, that Egypt lacks the necessary \"culture of democracy\" for the changes demanded by protesters, such as freedom of speech and the right to organize opposition parties, Gibbs said the words went against what was happening on the streets of Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt.",
"\"Vice President Suleiman made some particularly unhelpful comments about Egypt not being ready for democracy,\" Gibbs said, adding, \"I don't think that in any way squares with what those seeking greater opportunity and freedom think is a timetable for progress.\"",
"Gibbs also took exception to Suleiman's insistence that foreign elements, including Islamists, are behind or motivating the protesters in Egypt.",
"\"I think the rhetoric that we see coming out now that simply says that somehow what you see on TV has been drummed up by foreigners is at great odds with what we know is actually happening,\" Gibbs said.",
"Another senior administration official, speaking with CNN on condition of not being identified because of the sensitivity of a rapidly changing political situation in Cairo, acknowledged that \"there is some sort of level of frustration here.\"",
"\"We don't want just talking,\" the official said.",
"\"We want it to lead to something concrete.\"",
"While there is no U.S. timetable of steps being pushed, the official said, \"we continue to stress to both sides that negotiations and dialogue have to be inclusive and broad because we do recognize that there's not just three or four viewpoints; it encompasses a wide range of views in society ... that need to be fully represented in negotiations and discussions.\"",
"Gibbs repeated the U.S. call for an orderly transition in Egypt from the repressive rule of the past three decades under Mubarak to a multiparty democracy through free and fair elections.",
"Mubarak has insisted he will remain in power through the end of his term in September instead of ceding to demands for his immediate ouster by the protesters and opposition figures.",
"Suleiman also says Mubarak must remain in power until the next election for the transition to be orderly.",
"Suleiman met Sunday with some Egyptian opposition figures in preliminary talks that symbolized concession on both sides.",
"Some opposition figures had rejected any discussions until Mubarak stepped down, while a government statement issued on state TV after Sunday's meeting outlined future steps resulting from the meeting.",
"In a brief informal exchange with reporters on Monday, Obama said: \"Obviously Egypt has to negotiate a path and I think they are making progress.\"",
"Gibbs said Tuesday that the talk of reform must be followed by meaningful action, or the protests on the streets would continue.",
"\"I think that the people that are expressing their desire for greater opportunity and freedom are going to continue to express that desire until the government takes the very concrete steps that I outlined a minute ago to address those concerns,\" Gibbs said.",
"\"And if they don't, then those protests will, I assume, continue.\"",

"Washington (CNN) -- Senior Democrat John Conyers of Michigan criticized Barack Obama Monday, hoping, Conyers said, to \"make him a better president.\"",

"Sakura, Japan (CNN) -- Residents of northern Japan streamed south from their earthquake-stricken hometowns Saturday, crowding stores in search of vital supplies as rescue teams worked north toward the historic quake's epicenter.",
"Roads and buildings showed cracks as far away as 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Sendai, the closest city to the epicenter.",
"One man told CNN the scene in towns hit by the quake and the resulting tsunami was \"unimaginable.\"",
"Shoppers were polite but tense as they sought food, water and gasoline from stores, where shelves were quickly emptied and pumps soon ran dry.",
"A slow, steady line of cars trickled south from the disaster zone as people either left the area or shuttled to the stores, many of which were without power and had broken glass scattered down the aisles.",
"Japan's major highways, large sections of which are elevated, have been closed since the magnitude 8.9-quake struck off the northeastern coast Friday afternoon.",
"Automobile traffic crawled on smaller, two-lane roads as power outages left the sleek, electric-powered \"bullet trains\" -- shining examples of Japan's advanced technology, usually capable of speeds nearing 200 mph -- sitting motionless on their tracks.",
"Closer to the heart of the disaster, collapsed phone lines and towers left communications spotty.",
"Roads and airfields were washed out by the tsunami; rescue workers headed to the stricken region had to rely on helicopters.",
"Video from Sendai showed people trapped in the second floors of homes, waving sheets of white cloth in hopes of drawing rescue workers.",
"Residents who have been able to call out reported gas and water were unavailable for a radius well beyond the city of about 1 million.",
"In Minamisoma, a city about 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Sendai, all that was left of many structures were their foundations.",
"Only concrete and steel buildings appeared to have withstood the wash. No people were visible in the streets of the town, whose population on Friday had been 70,000.",
"The quake and resulting tsunami left behind hundreds dead by early Saturday, and that number was expected to climb sharply.",
"Tokyo, about 370 kilometers (230 miles) from the epicenter, was spared major damage from the quake.",
"But power outages and highway closures paralyzed the city as its transit network was shut down.",
"Commuters who usually pack the city's subways and suburban trains in the city of 13 million tried to flag down taxis, hitch rides or walk home.",

"(CNN) -- An Iranian-style theocratic regime in turbulent Egypt would be a nightmare for Washington and a dream for Tehran, but it's a no-go scenario for some scholars of the Middle East.",
"Some analysts doubt this vision because the Muslim Brotherhood -- the outlawed but popular militant Sunni Islamist opposition movement in Egypt -- appears to lack the clout and widespread support to seize power at present.",
"Experts also say the movement is less extreme than the hardline clerics who rule Iran.",
"One analyst said the Egyptian military appears to be trying to reconsolidate its power and maintain what has been a \"military dictatorship in civilian garb.\"",
"Just Friday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised the North African uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia and said they echo his country's revolution.",
"There is an easy parallel between the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran that toppled the shah and the current uprising in Egypt: Both reflected popular discontent across the societies over hated and autocratic rule.",
"But other political factors deflate this scenario, analysts say.",
"Michael Singh, visiting fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that first and foremost, there is no figure in the Muslim Brotherhood who is equivalent to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Shiite cleric who led the toppling of the Iranian government.",
"\"The Muslim Brotherhood is taking, so far, kind of a back seat,\" he said of its role in Egypt, which is predominantly Sunni.",
"\"They are late to the game.\" Isobel Coleman, a senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the Council for Foreign Relations, agrees that there is no \"charismatic and identifiable leader\" of an Islamic opposition.",
"Khomeini, she said, was \"such a threat\" that he had been exiled to France.",
"Singh said that when Khomeini was in Paris, he said he didn't want to establish an Islamic republic, but that turned out to be a lie.",
"Coleman said the Iranian regime led by Khomeini murderously repressed and sold down the river many in the opposition who supported the uprising in the 1970s.",
"\"The specter of that is very frightening to many Egyptians,\" she said.",
"\"Egyptians are very nervous about repeating what happened in Iran.\"",
"Mustafa Alani, director of the security and defense studies at the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center, sees the Muslim Brotherhood as a moderate force compared with a movement like al Qaeda.",
"He points to Jordan, where the new government has reached out to the Brotherhood's political wing, and envisions the group having a public role to play in a new Egypt.",
"At the same time, he doubts the Brotherhood would have influence over the army, and thinks the military would not allow them to seize power.",
"\"I don't think it's a realistic assumption that they will seize power,\" he said.",
"Haim Malka, deputy director of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, wrote in a commentary Friday that the \"Egyptian military faces a range of challenges that defy easy resolution\" and the \"debate over the future role of the Muslim Brotherhood is a prime example.\"",
"\"No representative system can take root in Egypt without the Brotherhood's participation.",
"But, after spending the last half century battling Islamist political forces, the military leadership will have trouble overcoming its deep disdain for the Brotherhood,\" Malka said.",
"Singh points out that there's an impression among observers that the next Egypt will probably have a more anti-Western government and that the opposition leaders who will find their way into government could be less hospitable to U.S. interests.",
"In contrast, he said, there's not much fear of an Iranian-style theocracy at the moment.",
"He said Iran hasn't succeeded in exporting its revolution.",
"Its neighbor Iraq, which like Iran is majority Shiite, hasn't evolved into a theocracy.",
"Coleman said Egyptians are wary of extremism and fear succumbing to the violence that raged last decade in Iraq.",
"Also, the army plays a more moderating role.",
"She said one big difference between Iran and Egypt are their economies.",
"Iran has a lot of oil, and it can afford to be \"more reactionary and revolutionary.\"",
"Egypt is dependent on tourism, shipping through the Suez Canal and trade with neighboring countries.",
"\"These types of things bind it to more moderate policies,\" Coleman said.",
"The calculation made by subsequently assassinated President Anwar Sadat in the 1970s to forge peace with Israel reflects this moderation.",
"Coleman said it has been a \"cold peace\" between Israel and Egypt, but leaders have concluded it serves Egypt better than conflict, instability and failure.",
"Singh says Sadat's \"bold and risky move\" was made to stop the endless state of war that began in the 1940s and help create prosperity.",
"Because of Egyptian repression, there are uncertainties about the Muslim Brotherhood.",
"Singh said it's unclear to what extent and why people have supported the Muslim Brotherhood in the past.",
"Is that because it opposed Mubarak?",
"Or is that because people philosophically support the group.",
"\"I don't think we know right now,\" he said.",
"Could there be a future autocracy in Egypt, even if it doesn't resemble Iran's theocratic regime?",
"CNN's Fareed Zakaria, the foreign affairs expert who hosts an hour-long Sunday show on world affairs, says the military seems to have made a decision to try to maintain and reconsolidate power and it will sacrifice anyone to do that, even Hosni Mubarak.",
"He said it could be a \"very unsatisfactory outcome.\"",
"\"What is clear over the last three days is that they caused chaos and are now going to step in to restore order,\" he said of Egypt's military.",
"If that cycle plays out, he says, \"the entire movement will have been in vain.\""

"(CNN) -- The judge in the sodomy trial of Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim handed him a key victory Tuesday when he ruled that DNA taken from items Anwar used in his police jail cell is inadmissible.",
"Authorities had hoped to swipe DNA taken from a toothbrush, water bottle and hand towel in Anwar's cell -- and compare it with the DNA recovered from semen left in his accuser's body.",

"In a video message, posted on a website that regularly carries messages from Chechen rebels, Umarov said he was speaking on January 24 -- the day of the deadly bombing.",
"He wore camouflage combat fatigues and a black skullcap.",
"\"The special operation was done in accordance with my order.",

"(CNN) -- With its $315 million purchase of The Huffington Post this week, a company best known for distributing free CDs has succeeded where mainstream media outlets failed: Spotting the potential of one of the Web's fastest growing media brands.",
"AOL, widely thought to be the imminent victim of a dying Internet dial-up business, now owns a property that may help define the future of news.",
"How big is The Huffington Post, exactly?",
"A recent report from The Street put the upstart media company just behind The New York Times in terms of web traffic -- and set to overtake The Gray Lady.",
"The Times started in 1851; The Huffington Post began in 2005.",
"Perhaps it's The Huffington Post's relative youth that's stimulated such derision among media executives.",
"Rapidly changing markets are easily dismissed as fads until it's too late.",
"Is it pride, perhaps, that's prevented many of the leading media brands from experimenting with aggregation, populist content and a blogging community that may at times appear amateurish?",
"Is it a fear of the unknown, or of irreparably damaging a brand built up over decades (and in some cases, more than a century)?",
"Or a compulsion to serve up the news we need to know, rather than the news we want?",
"Perhaps it's simply that the news media, comforted for years by the defensibility of its distribution channels -- ordinary citizens couldn't afford a printing press or start a television channel -- has been slow to mobilize in response to the threat of a million niche blogs and thousands of new ways to discover, parse, aggregate and reorganize the news.",
"Whatever the cause, the market has spoken.",
"The Huffington Post and rivals like Gawker Media are racking up the page views as older -- and supposedly wiser -- brands find this rapid growth evasive.",
"But the signal is clear and startling.",
"A $315 million Web property is no longer a blog.",
"It's a fully fledged modern media company.",
"The effect, I think, will be to shock the news media into action.",
"Not only will we see a rapid consolidation of the industry as the old guard seeks to buy or merge its way into this emergent online market (see also: the Newsweek-Daily Beast merger), but we'll see increased investment in those upstarts that choose to go it alone.",
"Most of all, I hope we'll see a news industry more willing to embrace risk, experimentation and occasional failures -- or face losing the war to a former dial-up provider with nothing to lose and everything to gain.",

"(CNN) -- Bangladesh pulled off one of the big upsets of the 2011 Cricket World Cup by beating England by two wickets in a thrilling Group B match at Chittagong on Friday.",
"The co-hosts kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the quarterfinals and left England in danger of crashing out of the tournament following a second defeat in five matches.",
"The English must now win their final game next Thursday against the West Indies, who earlier survived a scare before beating Ireland and have an extra game to play against unbeaten India.",
"Bangladesh also have two matches left, against fellow minnows the Netherlands on Monday and then heavyweights South Africa on March 19, and will qualify in the top four with wins in both.",
"England posted a disappointing total of 225, being bowled out in the final of the allotted 50 overs as Naeem Islam, Abdur Razzak and captain Shakib Al Hasan took two wickets each.",
"Jonathan Trott top-scored with 67 while Eoin Morgan, playing his first match since replacing the injured Kevin Pietersen, contributed 63.",
"Bangladesh had been bowled out for 58 by the Windies last Friday, but appeared to be cruising to a famous victory at 155-3 in the 31st over.",
"However, opening batsman Imrul Kayes was needlessly run out for 60, Al Hasan (32) dragged a delivery from spinner Graeme Swann onto his stumps, then seam bowler Ajmal Shahzad dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim and Islam (0).",
"Razzaq fell to Swann three runs later at 169-8, but Shafiul Islam joined Mahmudullah and gave Bangladesh hope.",
"Islam hit four fours and a six as he scored 24 off as many balls faced, while Mahmudullah made a dogged 21 off 42.",
"The tide turned in the 46th over when England swing bowler James Anderson conceded 11 runs, including seven wides.",
"Islam then hit two boundaries in Tim Bresnan's next over to bring the target down to 12 runs from 18 balls, and Mahmudullah hit the same bowler to the boundary with the last delivery of the 49th to give Bangladesh a second win in 15 meetings with the three-time World Cup runners-up.",
"\"I thought Mahmudullah and Shafiul batted exceptionally well.",
"At one stage we thought we'd lost the game but they showed their character, how tough they are and how hard-working,\" Al Hasan told AFP.",
"Ireland also beat England earlier this month, and had been on target to follow that up with a win over the West Indies at Mohali until a controversial umpiring decision turned the game.",
"The Windies had posted a total of 275 as opener Devon Smith scored his first century in one-day internationals, going on to make 107, and all-rounder Kieron Pollard smashed 94 off 55 balls -- hitting eight fours and five sixes.",
"Pollard also pulled off a fine catch to dismiss dangerman Kevin O'Brien, Ireland's match-winner against England, but the Irish needed just 76 runs to win off the last nine overs with half their wickets remaining when Gary Wilson was given out for 61.",
"Sri Lankan umpire Asoka de Silva ruled that Wilson had been trapped leg before wicket by Darren Sammy, and the batsman's call for a second review was unsuccessful even though it appeared that he should not have been given out.",
"Ireland then lost their last four wickets cheaply as left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn finished with 4-53 alongside Sammy's earlier three strikes as the Windies moved up to second place, a point above England.",
"In Saturday's only game, India face South Africa in Nagpur, while Sunday sees Group B matches between Canada and New Zealand, then Australia and Kenya."

"Even if he did, Benitez said, the toddler would have been smart enough to try to get back in or would have been spotted by now.",
"But New Braunfels Police Lt. Michael Penshorn said as of Monday, it's most likely that young Joshua Davis Jr. left the home without anyone noticing or taking him.",
"\"The first scenario that we are looking at is that somehow the child was able to exit the house ... and basically disappear into the night,\" he told HLN's Nancy Grace on Monday.",
"Benitez, also speaking on HLN, said she was watching \"Toy Story\" with Joshua shortly before 8 p.m. Friday when he left the room, heading toward where six other adults and another child were.",
"About 10 minutes later, when the boy hadn't come back to watch the video or pick up a toy, Benitez asked the others about his whereabouts.",
"But Joshua was nowhere to be found, neither inside nor outside the house.",
"Within minutes, family members called police -- who investigated the scene and sent an alert to 2,500 nearby residents.",
"One individual came in and out of the house between when Benitez last saw the toddler and reported him missing, but that person is not considered a suspect.",
"Penshorn said police don't think anyone at the house took the child.",
"No Amber Alert has been issued for Joshua because such an alert typically requires solid evidence that an abduction took place.",
"\"If for some reason somebody came and took that child, not only would (the people inside) have seen the child leave the residence, but they would have seen somebody come inside and take him,\" Penshorn said.",
"Still, Benitez said her toddler couldn't have gotten outside himself, noting he wasn't tall enough to turn a doorknob.",
"\"The only way that the baby would have gotten out the door is (if) the front door (was) open,\" she said.",
"\"But we had the doors closed.\"",
"Ice covered the steps outside, leading Benitez to believe that there would be signs of Josh if he did get out.",

"Tunis, Tunisia (CNN) -- Italy's coast guard says at least 1,623 migrants have landed on the tiny island of Lampedusa over a 24-hour period.",
"According to a coast guard statement released Tuesday, at least seven boats believed to have taken off from Tunisia landed on the Italian island with more than 400 passengers.",
"The rest of the people were rescued at sea by Italian maritime patrols.",
"Sailors at the Tunisian fishing port of Zarzis said they have seen a spike in the number of boats full of migrants departing on the dangerous 16- to 24-hour journey to Lampedusa, about 100 kilometers (62 miles, or 54 nautical miles) away.",
"\"Yesterday, seven boats left here for Lampedusa,\" Faisal Jebnoun said Monday as he pulled seaweed and other debris from his net after a long day fishing for squid.",
"\"The youth are crazy,\" Jebnoun added.",
"\"They all think they'll find a better life in Italy, and they don't even speak Italian!\"",
"Italy has seen a surge in migrants from Tunisia since the North African country experienced a revolution in January that threw longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power.",
"Lampedusa is often a favored target since it is one of the southernmost European points in the Mediterranean Sea.",
"At one point, said Souei Abdesslem, president of the Blue-fish Union in Zarzis, so many young Tunisians were anxious to smuggle themselves to Europe that fishermen began sleeping in their boats to prevent them from being stolen for the hazardous passage across the Mediterranean.",
"The Italian coast guard reported that it had rescued five passengers Sunday night who said their boat sank, with 35 other passengers still missing.",
"Dozens of passengers from a Tunisian boat are believed to have died in January after it collided with a Tunisian coast guard vessel on a similar journey.",

"Camp Verde, Arizona (CNN) -- Jurors in the trial of self-help guru and speaker James Ray, accused of three counts of manslaughter in a 2009 Arizona sweat lodge ceremony, heard a recording Wednesday in which he previewed the intense ceremony and told participants how it would be a \"death and rebirth experience.\"",
"Before the October 2009 ceremony at a retreat center near Sedona, Ray told participants it would include the most \"intense heat you've every experienced in your life.",
"You will feel like you are going to die.\"",
"The author described the ceremony as a sacred way for participants to rid themselves of \"all the things that you've allowed to be your truth and have caused you to sell yourself short.\"",
"He promised each would emerge as a \"different person.\"",
"The participants would then enjoy a celebratory dinner and share personal breakthroughs in an evening session.",
"But something went horribly wrong.",
"Three people died during or after the purification ceremony and Ray was charged in their deaths.",
"The defense told jurors in opening statements last week the three died in a \"tragic accident -- not a crime.\"",
"Prosecutors maintain Ray psychologically pressured participants to remain in the lodge even when they weren't feeling well, contributing to their deaths.",
"In the recording, Ray told participant, who paid up to $10,000 each to attend the event, that as \"true spiritual warriors\" and their \"altered state\" they would endure heat so intense it would make it feel like their skins was coming off of their bodies.",
"\"I will be right there with you,\" he said.",
"\"You will have to get to a point where you surrender to death,\" Ray said.",
"\"When you are going into the lodge symbolically you are going back into the womb of mother earth.\"",
"\"It is such a great metaphor ...\" the author said.",
"\"My body dies but I never die.\"",
"Prosecutors argue that the lodge -- made of willow trees and branches, and covered with tarpaulins and blankets -- was heated to perilously high temperatures, causing the participants to suffer dehydration and heatstroke.",
"During his recorded talk, Ray repeatedly told participants to drink plenty of fluids.",
"But Dennis Mehravar testified he had not much to drink in the previous 36 hours and had only a short time to hydrate.",
"And the real estate salesman from Canada said no physical examination or medical information was required before the event.",
"Another participant, Nell Wagoner, told jurors she saw no preparations by Ray's staff for any medical emergencies.",
"Ray told participants that if conditions became unbearable, they could leave when the lodge flap was opened.",
"He promised a transcending experience.",
"\"You will be in such an altered state,\" Ray said.",
"\"You may see visions.",
"It's a great opportunity to explore your own consciousness.\"",
"Wagoner, a gynecologist from Juneau, Alaska, and a participant in the program, testified she was concerned that a man who had been burned on his hand inside the lodge was allowed back in.",
"Ray said a nurse would assist the participant, she testified.",
"But Wagoner also said she did not perceive participants in the lodge's dark interior needed medical attention.",
"If they had, she would have provided assistance, the doctor told jurors.",
"Wagoner said she would not have entered the lodge if she thought there was a possibility she might die.",
"Wagoner testified that Ray never stopped anyone from leaving the sweat lodge.",
"She acknowledged under cross-examination that water and fortified drinks were available to participants.",
"Earlier, Jennifer Haley, who served as a volunteer at the 2009 event near Sedona, took the stand for the fourth day Wednesday to talk about how she and other \"Dream Team\" members tried to help ceremony participants.",
"Under cross-examination, Haley acknowledged that, in a police interview on the day of the ceremony, she suggested the deaths and injuries were an innocent accident and that perhaps something on rocks inside the lodge contributed to the injuries.",
"The heat in the sweat lodge was maintained by heated rocks brought in by \"firetenders\" during regular intervals in the ceremony.",
"Ray is charged with three counts of reckless manslaughter in connection with the October 2009 incident at the spiritual retreat.",
"If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison on each count.",
"Wagoner said she told detectives that they should look at carbon monoxide levels and dehydration among participants.",
"Haley also said ceremony participants had been warned about how hot the lodge would be and that Ray never told anyone who left during the event they would have to return.",
"The man who burned his hand voluntarily returned to the lodge.",
"Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, New York, and James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee, died the night of the event.",
"Volunteer Lizbeth Marie Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, died nine days after the ceremony.",
"The so-called sweat lodge -- which was 5 feet tall and 23 feet wide, and built to accommodate up to 75 people -- was the site of a purification ritual for participants modeled on Native American customs.",
"Ray encouraged participants to hydrate throughout the retreat and warned them the sweat lodge would be very hot, his attorney has said.",
"Participants signed a release form saying that the retreat activities could include a sweat lodge with enclosed spaces and high temperatures, Luis Li said in his opening statement last week.",

"(CNN) -- Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off as Italian Serie A leaders AC Milan wasted a chance to extend their advantage after being held to a 1-1 home draw by bottom side Bari on Sunday.",

"Yesterday, it was a category four hurricane with maximum winds around 135 miles per hour.",
"This is a powerful storm.",
"It's in the Atlantic Ocean and expected to turn towards the U.S. east coast tomorrow.",
"Officials say Earl probably won't make landfall; that's when the center of the hurricane actually reaches shore.",
"But the storm is so big that FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, says people along the coast may need to evacuate.",
"On Monday, rain and wind from Earl knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.",

"AZUZ: A lot of people in Pakistan are traveling more than a dozen kilometers to try and get away from dangerous flooding.",
"If you've been watching our show, you've seen our reports about these floods.",
"They've killed more than 1,600 people in Pakistan and affected at least 17 million other people there.",
"Aid is coming in from countries around the globe and from private companies: money, food, medical supplies.",
"The U.S. is sending more helicopters to Pakistan to help distribute that aid top people who need it.",
"Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN medical correspondent, is in Pakistan.",
"He gives us a look at the journey that some families there are going through and the struggles that they're facing.",
"(BEGIN VIDEO) DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Most people actually are leaving like this: by foot, in the hot sun, walking for kilometers with no real idea of where exactly they're going or what they're going to find there.",
"It is easy to see why they're leaving.",
"We are literally surrounded by water, and they're worried that that water is just going to get higher and higher.",
"So, they're fleeing the floods with the thing, the priority that they value the most, their livestock, and just starting to walk.",
"This is where so many of them ended up.",
"They were just walking for kilometers and kilometers down that hot road, looking for high land, anything that could protect them from the flood waters.",
"And look at what their lives are like now.",
"Thousands of people, literally, they have this little barrier here.",
"It is so hot outside, anything to try to keep themselves cool.",
"There's no question that relief is slow coming here, but even as we're filming today at the camp, this Pakistani army helicopter comes over and drops parcels of food.",

"There are more than 20 million people displaced.",

"The White House canceled the Constellation program.",
"A panel declared that the Ares rocket is too expensive and behind schedule.",
"So, the big question.",

"It was to interview 11 high school students from around the state of Georgia, some of the state's brightest for Fix our schools.",
"This is a special project that's running all over CNN all week long.",
"It takes ideas from teachers, administrators and, yes, students to look at how schools can succeed even while they're facing challenges.",
"And you've probably seen some of those challenges at your school.",
"Now that homework assignment that I had - that group of high school juniors and seniors that I sat down to speak to - yesterday we brought you what they had to say about what makes schools good.",
"Today, we're focusing on teachers.",
"(BEGIN VIDEO) AZUZ: Teachers, should they be your friends on Facebook?",
"FEMALE STUDENT: No.",
"AZUZ: Anybody think so?",
"Go ahead. ALEXIS JOHNSON, CHAMBLEE CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL: OK.",
"So, my teacher has her own Facebook page, and all of my friends add her, all my classmates.",
"And it's so convenient because we ask her a question on what homework we had that night and she automatically replies.",
"AZUZ: Any of you think teachers should not be your friend on Facebook?",
"Want to say why? JANVI CHAWLA, WALTON HIGH SCHOOL: I still really think a teacher is a teacher and students are just also there to learn.",
"AZUZ: What qualities does a good teacher have?",
"Think of your best teacher.",
"Tell me what he or she is like. Go ahead. MCCALL STILES, NORTH OCONEE HIGH SCHOOL: She had a way of adding humor to the class.",
"But then when we were studying, she would be serious about it.",
"And we had a level of respect for her because she added that comedic level to the classroom.",
"AZUZ: Sort of a human factor?",
"STILES: Yes.",
"MARIA FLORES, ETOWAH HIGH SCHOOL: If it weren't for the dedication, the passion that my teachers have, we would all probably be all failing in those classes.",
"But it's the fact that they're willing to stay after school, to be there before school, to walk around during lunch and come say, \"Oh, you're working on the homework?",
"How are you doing?\" AZUZ: So, I'm hearing passion, dedication and humor.",
"Let's say your administration asks you to sit in on a hiring session.",
"What qualities are you going to be looking for if you could make that decision to hire a teacher?",
"LARRY HOWARD, DEKALB SCHOOL OF THE ARTS: I would say someone that always prepares you for the next step.",
"JULIA ABELSKY, NORTH SPRINGS CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL: I would definitely ask them to talk about the subject, maybe talk about their favorite ways to teach.",
"Beause my teacher, he doesn't teach the same way every day.",
"He finds different ways to communicate the information.",
"It really sticks once you laugh about it and you share experiences with your classmates.",
"AZUZ: You aren't afraid of a challenging teacher as long as you're learning something.",
"Does anybody not like a hard teacher?",
"ALEX KELLY, CARVER HIGH SCHOOL: It depends on what you mean by \"hard teacher,\" because there are teachers that be more hard than they should be.",
"So, it's a difference between being hard and overly aggressive.",
"AZUZ: What do teachers do that make you shy away from learning?",
"ZACK KENT, APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL: When you spend too much time on one subject and you can't complete the entire course, it makes me shy away from trying to study myself, because I think we're going to spend that much time, the rest of the time, on each subject, that long.",
"FLORES: Something that shies me away from learning is when I know what's going to happen in the classroom.",
"For instance, I had a math teacher that, every day, we would walk in and we knew what we were going to do.",
"We were going to check homework, take notes, start on homework.",
"So, I think adding creativity to the teaching really helps keep our attention in the front of the classroom.",
"(END VIDEO) Before We Go .",
"AZUZ: Before we go today is something we've been laughing about at workall day long.",
"Just watch it. Looks like man's best friend is man's best dance partner.",
"That dog is burning up the dance floor, and this YouTube video is burning up the internet.",
"You might think we're just showing this just because it's awesome video, and you're right.",
"But it also fits in with one of the main goals of CNN Student News.",
"Goodbye . AZUZ: Making sure our show has plenty of balance.",
"Time to clear the dance floor for now.",
"CNN Student News, I'm Carl Azuz.",
"We return tomorrow fired up and ready to go.",

"(CNN) -- A second day of a strike against Pakistan's flagship carrier, Pakistan International Airlines, ended Wednesday with police charging protesters and angry passengers at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, said Pervez George, an official with Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority.",
"George said a number of people were beaten as police attempted to clear the terminal and restore order.",
"The strike was called on Tuesday after month-long negotiations between the airline and unions representing the airline's pilots and staff ended in failure.",
"PIA grounded close to 60 international and domestic flights leaving thousands of frustrated passengers at Jinnah airport and Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.",
"The Islamabad airport was closed to passengers and PIA staff with police guarding all entrances and exits.",
"PIA staff called the strike demanding management reinstate five pilots who were fired, that Managing Director Pia Aijaz Haroon resign, and that a proposed code share agreement with Turkish Airlines be dropped.",
"Speaking to CNN, Suhail Baluch, president of the Pakistan Airlines Pilots Association and head of a joint action committee representing all airline employees, said \"the proposed code share agreement, which still needs to be approved by the government and regulators, would make PIA into a regional airline as opposed to international and get rid of lucrative international routes.\"",
"Furthermore, the code share agreement would cut down the number of staff because flights would use Istanbul or Ankara as their hub and use Turkish Airlines staff to fly passengers to international destinations currently offered by PIA, he said.",
"Haroon was appointed managing director of Pakistan International Airlines two years ago.",
"Since then, he has been criticized over alleged corruption scandals and for the airline incurring heavy debt.",
"According to Baluch, \"This is another example of Haroon's corruption, we have the crew and capabilities and we have been flying for the last 50 years.",
"I don't know what is the reason behind the code share.\"",
"The joint action committee from the union flew to Islamabad Wednesday for discussions with Federal Minister Khurshid Shah, who oversees the airline.",
"However, no agreement was reached.",
"Shah agreed to two of the union's demands but declined to consider removing Haroon as managing director of PIA, the union said.",
"Strikers have vowed to continue striking until they reach a conclusion and the managing director is removed.",
"\"We have declared today that until they kick out Haroon the strike will continue,\" said Baluch.",
"Airline spokesman Mashdood Tajwar refused to comment on the situation."

"(CNN) -- A quick look at Japan's nuclear industry and the problems faced at three plants since Friday's massive earthquake off northern Honshu, as compiled by the CNN Wire: .",
"NATIONWIDE . Japan's electric power companies run 54 nuclear reactors, with two under construction, at 17 power plants, according to figures from the International Atomic Energy, the U.N. nuclear watchdog.",
"They produced more than 280,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity in 2010 -- about 30 percent of Japan's total electricity generation.",
"Most Japanese plants -- including the three facing emergencies since the earthquake -- use boiling-water reactors, in which water circulated through the reactor is converted to steam and used to drive a generator.",
"Most U.S. reactors and about 40 percent of Japan's are pressurized-water reactors, in which reactor coolant is kept separate from the steam used to drive generators.",
"Both types are far different than the Soviet design involved in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, a reactor model now considered unsafe by the international nuclear industry.",
"In addition, the Chernobyl plant lacked the kind of reinforced steel-and-concrete containment structure that U.S. and Japanese regulators require.",
"Tokyo Electric Power Company is the largest of the nine utilities that operate Japan's nuclear plants and runs the two plants affected by Friday's quake.",
"In 2002, its president, vice president and chairman resigned after a scandal in which TEPCO was accused of falsifying safety repair records in 29 cases.",
"The company instituted reforms in September 2002 in an attempt to restore public confidence.",
"FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI .",
"The plant with the worst reported problems is TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi, about 65 km (40 miles) south of Sendai.",
"Three of the plant's six reactors had already been shut down for inspection at the time of the quake, but two of the three that were in service at the time have been damaged, the utility said.",
"An explosion caused by hydrogen buildup Saturday blew the roof off the No.",
"1 reactor's containment structure and injured four workers, but the reactor was not reported to have sustained damage.",
"Workers have been pouring a mixture of seawater and boron into the No.",
"1 and No. 3 reactors in what experts have called a last-ditch attempt to prevent a meltdown -- a catastrophic failure of the reactor core, with a potential for widespread radiation release.",
"Japanese nuclear regulators have said there is a \"possibility\" that at least a partial meltdown already has occurred in the reactors.",
"The government has evacuated more than 200,000 residents from homes within a 20-km (12.5-mile) radius of the plant and tested 160 people for radiation exposure, authorities said Sunday.",
"The six units at Fukushima Daiichi went into service between 1970 and 1979.",
"FUKUSHIMA DAINI .",
"Japanese authorities have detected cooling-system problems at TEPCO's Fukushima Daini plant, but have not expressed any concerns about possible meltdowns there.",
"Nevertheless, those living within a 10-km radius of Fukushima Daini were ordered to evacuate as a precaution.",
"TEPCO reported that cooling systems the three operational units at Fukushima Daini failed after the quake, but the IAEA, citing Japanese authorities, reported that all three had power Sunday afternoon.",
"TEPCO reported one fatality at the plant.",
"A crane operator who had been trapped at an operating console in the plant's exhaust stack was pronounced dead Saturday, the company reported.",
"Fukushima Daini is about 80 km south of Sendai.",
"The plant's four reactors went online between 1981 and 1987.",
"ONAGAWA . Japanese officials declared an emergency Sunday at the Onagawa nuclear plant after finding radiation levels above allowed levels in the surrounding area.",
"However, radiation levels had dropped to normal levels by early Monday, and the \"current assumption\" of Japanese authorities is that the increased radiation levels may have been caused by material released from Fukushima Daiichi, according to the IAEA.",
"The plant reported smoke in a turbine house after Friday's earthquake, but Japan has told the IAEA that the three reactors at Onagawa are under control.",
"Onagawa is about 70 km north of Sendai.",
"It is owned by the Tohoku Electric Company, and its three reactors entered service between 1983 and 2001.",
"Reactor No. 2 was shut down for a five-month inspection in November, according to the company."

"Berlin (CNN) -- WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange went from being \"imaginative, energetic (and) brilliant\" to a \"paranoid, power-hungry, megalomaniac,\" a former colleague charges in a new book out Thursday.",
"Assange also has \"a very free and easy relationship with the truth,\" Daniel Domscheit-Berg claims in the book, \"Inside WikiLeaks.\"",
"WikiLeaks also lost key software that lets users submit documents anonymously when Domscheit-Berg and another colleague left, he says.",
"WikiLeaks blasted the defector in a statement shortly before the book launch.",
"Domscheit-Berg \"damaged\" WikiLeaks infrastructure and \"stole material,\" WikiLeaks said Wednesday, and the website said it is taking legal action against him-- though Domscheit-Berg denied that.",
"WikiLeaks, which publishes secret documents, downplayed the defector's role in the organization, saying he was \"a spokesperson for WikiLeaks in Germany at various times.\"",
"It denied he was ever a \"programmer, computer scientist, security expert, architect, editor, founder (or) director\" of WikiLeaks.",
"\"Domscheit-Berg's roles within WikiLeaks were limited and started to diminish almost a year ago as his integrity and stability were questioned,\" the website said.",
"Domscheit-Berg rejected that claim in a press conference Thursday, calling himself \"the only person who was intensively involved in this organization for such a long time.\"",
"Last September, Domscheit-Berg left WikiLeaks, citing shortcomings and clashes with Assange.",
"He and other former WikiLeaks employees have now set up OpenLeaks, which they describe as a more transparent secret-sharing website.",
"OpenLeaks, its founder says, has a \"technical mechanism whereby sources can be protected\" and decide for themselves to which outlets they want to release their information.",
"The defector paints a picture of Assange as becoming increasingly authoritarian over time, saying Assange would threaten him.",
"Domscheit-Berg claims Assange read the USA Patriot Act to him when he tried to dismiss him, using military terminology to designate him a traitor.",
"Assange, he said, had started assuming the characteristics of the kinds of institutions he was trying to bring down.",
"The author says in his book, however, that Assange wasn't necessarily anti-American, even though all of WikiLeaks' major publications last year were aimed at the United States.",
"Instead, Assange was motivated by a frustration with U.S. foreign policy and his desire to seek the biggest possible adversary.",
"\"He had to single out the most powerful nation on earth,\" Domscheit-Berg writes.",
"\"Your own stature, it has been written, can be measured by that of your enemies.",
"Why should he expend his fighting energy in Africa or Mongolia and get into quarrels with the Thai royal family?",
"\"It would have been a far less attractive prospect to end up in some jail in Africa, or wearing concrete boots at the bottom of some Russian river, than to inform the world that he was being pursued by the CIA.",
"And it wouldn't have gotten him on the nightly news.\"",
"Domscheit-Berg also says he took about 3,000-3,500 documents when he left WikiLeaks, claiming it would be \"irresponsible\" to leave them with Assange.",
"He did not disclose the contents or origin of the papers.",
"The trove would represent a fairly small percentage of what WikiLeaks says it has in its possession.",
"Domscheit-Berg said he was \"sorry\" about how things worked out between him and Assange, saying, \"We had extremely great times.",
"We achieved great things together.\"",
"WikiLeaks gained international prominence after leaking thousands of papers about the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan and is currently releasing a huge cache of secret American diplomatic papers.",
"Assange is fighting extradition from the United Kingdom to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning on sex charges unrelated to the work of the website.",
"There are already several books purporting to expose WikiLeaks' own secrets.",
"Two journalists from The Guardian newspaper in Britain, David Leigh and Luke Harding, have written \"WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy.\"",
